Chapter THIRTY
The next morning, Seff came out of the room in her blue bathing suit and gasped when she saw that Damian had not left the room and was sleeping on the couch under a blanket with Teri wrapped in his arms. They were both dressed but, she could tell something was completely off when she tried to rouse Teri by her telepathic link only to find it hard to break through and it was usually so easy for her to reach out and feel her sister.
Again, the scent of lillies filled the air around the two of them and she knew-Adora! ‘Hey Adora! Get your little Muse butt in here right now! She froze Zara in her sleep and popped in the room. ‘What do ya want, cousin of mine?’ she giggled at her mischievously.
‘Did you do something to those two last night?’ she asked pinning her to the wall with a pillow. ‘Just tell me plain-did you?’
‘You’ll just have to wait and find out for yourself! Oh and when she wakes up, your twin link should be just fine and dandy! Hugs to ya!” as she vanished again before Seffi could grab her.
‘What did you two numptys do to yourselves NOW?’ she thought to herself.
A few hours later, Damian woke up and tried to stretch out on what he thought was his bed and fell off the couch onto the floor wit a thud. “Ouch! What the blood--” as the memories came trickling back to his foggy mind.
(MY ONE AND ONLY FLASHBACK IN THIS PIECE--BEAR WITH ME)
After shooing Seffi to her room, they were going to say their good nights when they both were overcome with a major case of ‘why wait’ so, they ran off to the airport, caught the red-eye to Las Vegas, and got married by a guy who looked a heck of a lot like Keith. Damian had the marriage certificate in an envelope under the couch. Scary enough, he knew it was true-he and Teri were indeed, married! What the heck would everyone think of THIS bit of news?? Would Teri remember it as easy as he had and what would she think in the cold light of the next morning. Sure, it had been the best craic they had had in ages but, hey-this one was forever in his mind and heart and he wanted it to be the same for her as well.
(END FLASHBACK)
‘Oh my gosh! The guys, my parents, Phil and Sharon are gonna have to be told! How the heck do I tell them THIS?’ he thought frantic at the thought of being killed or worse, FIRED from the only job he had ever loved. He reached out for his cell phone and dialed the only person who MIGHT understand what the heck he had just done to his life.
A groggy voice answered on the other end of the line, “Damo, you had better either be dead, dyin, or married or I am gonna kill ya for waking me up at um, 4 Am Pacific Time! You know I am meetin with people to get me a recording deal for Disney. What gives?”
“Um, are your meetings over today?”
“Yeah I am on the last flight home to New York tonight, boy-o. Why? What happened?”
“Oh nothing. I think I just got married last night in Vegas and I do not know how or, if me bride knows what happened to get this done?”
Paul Byrom was now snapped violently awake and he said, “Damian! Do not do ANYTHING till I get there tonight. I will help you in any way I can but, promise me I am the ONLY one you tell this bit of um, news to till I get there! Promise me!”
“I promise ya, Paul. Just hurry as fast as ya can!”

Chapter THIRTY ONE
He hung up his cell and looked over at Teri. He smiled a nervous smile and thought to himself, ‘I’M MARRIED?! How on earth did we let a game of ‘why wait’ lead to this so fast? No one with us, no one knows, oh God, did we screw this up or, did we make the best choice we could have made?”
Teri rolled over on the couch and stretched out. She cracked her eyes open and looked at Damian smiling down on her and smiled back. In her half asleep euphoria, she was really happy she couldn’t hear the voices in her head for once. Then, she snapped wide awake and wondered WHY she couldn’t hear them? She reached out to Damian, ‘Um, Irish, can you hear me?’ When he nodded, she said, ‘Why can’t I hear anyone else? What happened last night?’
‘Don’t you remember?’ She shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs of sleep. ‘Come on, love, think. We did something…’
All of a sudden, her mind snapped into sharp focus and she gasped, “We got… we got MARRIED?? How?”
Just then her mother’s voice rang in her head, ‘You got married?! I know it was not planned-Adora overpowered your senses of reason and you hopped a red-eye to Vegas and did it. Just so you know, I like this Damian of yours. He could have freaked out but, he is actually worried about how this will affect you more than how it could hurt him. I approve! Not of the fact that you ran off and did this but, of him as your choice.’
‘But the time we are on tour is not up, yet.’
‘I can temporarily give you back your gifts but, at the end of the tour, you will be a full mortal and can be hurt or have babies like any other mortal. Think carefully about everything you do from now till the tour is over. The decision is still yours and his to make, my little Muse!’ and she left Teri’s mind somewhat calmer than it was before she spoke to her. The voice from the band came flooding in and the two she cared about were Keith and Emmet who were about to pound on Zara, Teri, and Seffi’s door, looking for their lost roommate.
She counted to three and opened the door just as Keith was about to hit it and said, “He is right here, lads. Safe and somewhat sound.” as she smiled a weak smile at Damian and sent, ’I am fine, love. If you tell them what we did last night, I am fine with that but, you promised someone named Paul you wouldn’t tell anyone till he came to see us. Try to keep your promise, OK?’
‘Oh I don’t want the Wrath of Paul on my back! No worries about our secret coming out to these two! I promise you, love!’
Keith said, “Hey Damo, we know you love her but, you have spent more nights with her than in your own bed lately. Something going on we should know about?” Just then, he spied a piece of paper on the floor. “What’s this?” as he opened up the folded sheet of paper. “Airline tickets? From last night. For VEGAS???”
Damian snatched the page from Keith’s hands. ‘Teri, can you make him and Emmet forget about the airline tickets? You know, your Jedi mind trick? Please? I so do NOT want to explain this yet! Not when I haven’t worked it through my own head and heart yet!’
She passed her hands over their eyes and the pair stumbled a bit as things slipped in and out of focus for them both. ‘It’s done, Irish. Are we OK, though?’ she looked at him with a wonder in her eyes.
He crossed the room in two steps and said, ‘Better than OK, love. I am beyond happy that we are married. I just wonder what the rest of the people in our lives are going to think of this and how we did it. Exactly HOW did it happen, love?’
‘One word: Adora. She set this all in motion as a prank on us. Some prank, huh?’
‘She just pushed us to it faster than we might have wanted, is all. Now, how do we tell the group? I can just hear them saying stuff about how we are too young and don’t know anything about this marriage stuff.’
Keith said, “Why are you spending so much time with the girls? We know you love girls but, really? Are they telling you how to take care of your skin and hair? Sharing BEAUTY secrets with you and all kinds of girly stuff?”
Just then, Zara came out of the bedroom and said, “Keith Harkin! If Damo wants to spend the night on our couch to spend more time with Teri, you should be happy for him-he has a love of his own. Maybe if you found someone, you would know how he feels.”
Emmet said, “Keith is playing the field, Zara! He loves women too much to settle for just one!” as he laughed at Keith who was blushing but, nodding in agreement.

A twofer to close out the evening! Enjoy ladies!
Chapter THIRTY TWO
They planned a day at the beach and Zara and Seffi came out in their bathing suits and Seffi said, “Teri. Damo. If you want to hit the beach with us, you best be getting your suits and sunscreen on and come on with us to catch some of that luscious looking sun and surf!”
Keith said, “Yeah, you said we could go boogie boarding, love! Let’s get to moving!”
Emmet said, “You can teach me too, huh Keith?” to which Keith nodded and they dragged Damian back to his room to get ready for the day at the beach.
He got ready in record time and came down to the lobby with the guys and together, with the girls they were about to head out to the sand when Ryan came out of the elevator. Seffi ran up and grabbed him dragging him up to the group. “Let’s go and have some fun today!”
They headed to the beach and set up the blankets, umbrellas, and lounge chairs and started to get themselves ready to hit the water. Seffi and Teri pulled off their sweat pants and tee shirts and the boys all over the beach came unglued. They were wearing identical cobalt blue one piece swimsuits and, since both of them had their shoulder length honey brown hair loose and free, looked exactly the same. Damian came up to Teri and took her hand saying, “Let’s hit the water! Have you seen those waves? Keith is drooling-look at him!”
Ryan for his part was sitting on the beach in one of the chairs and taking in the view. “Hey, Ryan! You have to come to the water with me and play!” Seffi said as she grabbed his shirt and pulled it off his back so they could play in the waves. She was caught more than once checking him out and it made him smile. ‘Thank God I run and keep in shape!’ he thought to himself as he saw her running through the water, splashing and playing on the boogie boards with Keith and Emmet. He came out into the water. She taught him how to fly across the water on the boogie boards and they had a great time racing all over the waves.
When they all came back to the blanket for lunch, they all felt relaxed and everyone contributed to the conversation and it felt relaxed again for the first time in ages. Keith and Emmet were picking on Damian because he had a pair of blue trunks on and a pink streaked tee shirt-Teri’s from the Hard Rock Café in Foxwoods as it was one with capped sleeves and it made him look like his muscles were ripped. ‘Pink is not your color, Irish, but the shirt looks hot on you!’ as she laughed in his mind.
Ryan said softly in Seffi’s ear, “I had a great time this morning but, I am really not up for the rest of the day with them, care to join me at the hotel pool?” She nodded and they packed up their stuff and headed in. She said, ‘Teri, whatever was wrong with you earlier, we NEED to discuss but, it can wait till tonight. We WILL be talking about it though so, don’t forget!’
Teri shuddered in Damian’s arms. ‘Um, is all still well in Sisterland?’ She nodded and they went to play Frisbee and boogie board the afternoon away. George found a kite shop so they flew kites and collect shells and had a great time.
That night Ryan and Seffi went out to dinner and were gone when Teri and a sunburned Zara made it back to their room. “I know I put a ton of sunblock on-I don’t know why I am SO red!” Zara moaned as she headed for her bed. Teri dragged her to the bathroom instead and said, “Get in the tub and I will fill it with cool water and aloe oil. You will feel better in the morning and thank me for this, I promise.” Zara slipped into the cool water and Teri put the Jacuzzi jets on and added the oil. “Now sit and relax. In an hour get into your loosest jammies and hit the bed. Doctor Teri’s orders!” as she smiled and shut the door.
Damian knocked on the door. Him, Keith, Emmet, George and Neil piled into the living room area and Neil asked, “Is she gonna be OK? She got really fried out there, huh?”
“I just fixed her up in the bathtub with what I call the Irish Sunburn Repair Kit in the bath.” Teri said, smiling back at the guys. “She should come out in an hour and hit the sack. Want to hit the Hard Rock for dinner, guys? She needs her quiet, now. We can bring her home some food later!”
The crew went to the Hard Rock and had dinner. It happened to be Trivia Night in the Café so, they divided into teams and played with the rest of the bar. Damian, Emmet, and Teri then, Keith, George, and Neil on teams. They made a bet as to who could answer the most questions correctly from each team. They played the Hour of Trivia Power and the bet was whoever got the most questions got to boss the losers around for 24 hours. The Café gave out prizes for the correct answers so, at the end of the night, by a score of ten to six, Damian’s team beat out George’s team and won the bet. Didn’t hurt that Teri was firing on all cylinders and knew the answers before the rest of the group and told Damian so he could answer for the team! George was wondering, ’How does he KNOW this stuff? I don’t even know some of the stuff he does!’
Damian said, “You guys can start by cleaning the bus just the way I left it the last time it was done. Then maybe you can do our laundry and then pay for all our food tomorrow. That’ll do for now, I think. Teri? Emmet? You guys want anything?”
Emmet said, “Laundry, check. Food, check. Um, each of you has to write a long blog for the Website and you have to Tweet once an hour on the hour all day tomorrow. How’s that?”
Teri thought about this long and hard and said, “I just have one request……
“And, what’s that, Lass?” asked George who was already regretting the making of this bet.

Chapter THIRTY FOUR
“We have you three pose for the guy that does the caricatures in the lobby! Then, we post them on the site! That can be funny for the day!”
“Oh you guys are gonna wish you had won this bet!” Damian said, happily! He was happy Teri could get the answers for his team but, he knew he was not going to be doing any more trivia contests in the future since she was going to lose her powers when the tour was over. He loved her so much. He was wrestling with her becoming a mortal and wondered if it was a good thing for her since he planned on living a long, long time. How could this happen to her when she was happiest with her powers and being in love with him?
After they got their shirts and jackets back to their rooms, Damian was sitting on the couch, watching soccer on the television when everything in the world just stopped moving, including all the people. Everyone, that is, except Damian. The hairs on his neck rose and he said, “What just happened?”
There was a knock at the door and then it sort of opened on its own. In walked a woman in a regal white dress and upswept hair. She walked up to him and said, “Damian McGinty, I presume? You are the one who married my daughter?”
He gulped, “Um, yes ma’am. I am the one who married Terpsichory. She is the love of my life and I can’t imagine my life without her. You must be her mother. I am honored to meet you.”
“You have a legitimate concern about my daughter and her powers. The rule is absolute and final: If she marries a mortal, she loses her powers and becomes mortal.”
“Is there a loophole in this rule? There must be a way for her to keep some of them if not all of them?” he asked, wanting to find some way to save his new wife from losing a part of her that made her special spark well, SPARK.
“My name is Diapheny. I can hear your every thought and feel your every emotion. I can tell you love my little one with everything you are and that makes me happy, There is only one way she can have limited use of her powers: The man that hurt you and her so badly-Ryan? He must declare his total love for Sephony and forget about his feelings for Terpsichory. If he does, then I am able to grant her the use of her gifts for those YOU love in your life. Your bandmates, your parents, your siblings, any children you have and ONLY them.”
“If I make this happen, she can have all of that?” When she nodded, he said, “I will make that happen, ma’am, I swear it.”
“You only have till the tour is over. After that, she is an ordinary mortal with no powers I have confidence in your ability, young Damian. Make me proud to be your mother in law.” With that, as fast as she drifted in, she left and shut the door. A second later all time started again and he watched his watch reset the last 15 minutes like they did not happen except, he knew they had. He shuddered and called out for Teri.
Teri came out of the bedroom in her jammies-Damian’s tee shirt and her jammie pants. She asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Seffi poked her head out of the room just in time to hear Damian say, “You mother paid me a visit just now.” Uh-oh….
