"Well it's about damn time," Kelly grinned, jumping up from her chair in her dressing room and enveloping Jimmy in a warm hug. "I was starting to think you got lost."
"How's everything going?" he asked hopefully.
"Still the same," she shook her head, referring to the album that seemed as if it would never be released.
"Don't worry," he smiled, squeezing her shoulder. "We'll get it out there."
"Dude!" Einar cheered as he and Chris walked into the dressing room as well.
"Hey man," Jimmy laughed, gripping his hand and pulling him into a half hug.
"Did you get lost?"
"Why does everyone think that?"
"You're two days late."
He smiled, "I took a detour."
"You got lost," Kelly laughed, pushing him playfully.
"Hey, don't make me throw you in that trash can over there," he teased.
Kelly stuck her tongue out, squealing slightly as Jimmy made a play grab for her.
"Deaner," Jimmy laughed as he turned to the drummer, pulling him into a half hug. "Long time no see. How's it going so far?"
"It's great," Chris nodded. "Thanks for hooking this up."
"It's all you man," Jimmy replied.
Kelly looked up as Jason, Aben, and Cory walked into the room.
"Gang's all here," Jimmy grinned, as hands were shook and fists were touched.
"Got lost?" Jason asked, laughing.
"Ugh," he groaned, rolling his eyes. "I didn't get lost."
"He totally got lost," Kelly nodded, moving out of his reach.
"Oh, that's it," he shook his head, chasing her around the small dressing room.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, jumping onto the couch, holding out a drumstick as a sword. "Don't you dare."
"Dare what?" Jimmy asked, taking the drumstick that Deaner offered, pointing it at her.
"What is this?" Kelly asked, looking at Deaner.
"A mutiny," he smiled.
"Two days and you're already over throwing me?"
"Come to think of it," Cory laughed, stepping beside Jimmy. "We do outnumber you."
"I'll fight to death!" Kelly declared, pointing the drumstick in the air.
"KC pile up!" Jimmy declared as all the guys jumped on her, piling onto the sofa.
Jill and Kate walked into the dressing room, seeing a pile of men on the couch.
Jill raised an eyebrow, "That's not something you see everyday."
Kate smiled at the sound of a loud raspy laugh coming from the pile. It was probably the most heart-warming sound she had ever heard.
"Um, excuse us," she said, causing the guys to all turn to the two of them confusedly.
"Jill...Kate..." Aben smiled from his spot in the pile.
"Jill and Kate?" Kelly asked, from underneath everybody. She raised her hand in the air.
The duo laughed at the sight of Kelly's hand waving.
"You ok in there?" Kate asked.
"Yea," she laughed as her band gradually stood, freeing her. "Hey," she smiled, walking over to the two of them, pulling them each into a hug. "Y'all found it ok?" she asked, pulling them into the room.
"Yea, no problems at all."
"Good," Kelly nodded, straightening her clothes. "Guys," she said turning to the rest of them. "These are the two new back-up singers we told you about--Jill and Kate."
She watched as the two girls went around, making quick introductions.
"So, y'all got the tracks I sent you?" she asked, sitting on the couch.
"Yea, we've been working on them. I think we've got them down," Jill replied.
"Have to admit though," Kate laughed. "The harmonies are definitely a lot more in depth than we're used to."
"I get kinda carried away with the background vocals sometimes," Kelly grinned.
"Wait till you hear the new stuff," Jimmy laughed.
"Oh yea," Kate said. "We wanted to ask, I mean we kind of figured, 'One Minute'?"
"Yea, it's from the new album," Kelly nodded. "Y'all like it?"
"It's great," Jill nodded.
"When's the album coming out?" Kate asked.
"Now that's the million dollar question, isn't it?" Kelly asked with a smirk.
"Literally," Jason added, causing the band to laugh.
Kate cocked her head sideways as Kelly met her eyes. She watched curiously as the singer's smile faltered.
"So..." Kelly clapped her hands together, shaking it off. "How about a couple of run-throughs so we can see what we got?"
+++++++++++
Kelly sang into the mic on the stand before her, switching to her head voice as she went in her upper range, and back out, knowing fully well that her voice would already be strained enough with all the interviews that she still had to do before the show and the dropping temperatures outside that she didn't need to add to that.
Her head started bopping slowly, and she couldn't help it as she started bouncing on her toes, the revamped "Miss Independent" ringing out through the small studio building they had rented out. Before she knew it, she was jumping around the stage, messing around with the band, smiling at the feeling of being on stage once again. She'd rather this, playing a show to nobody but her best friend and the janitor, than being stuck in another meeting with the "wise ones".
She smiled as she twirled in front of Jill, Kate, and Angela--her third backup singer--sending a wink their way. Kate nodded back, grinning as she sang while Jill and Angela laughed.
"Woo!" Kelly cheered into the microphone, pushing Aben playfully as the song ended.
"How's it sounding KC?" Jason asked from behind the keyboards.
"Great," she nodded, putting the microphone back on it's stand. "You?"
"Perfect."
"That's a wrap?"
"That's a wrap," he smiled, taking out his in-ears.
Kelly grinned excitedly, the thrill of being back on stage--even if it was just the rehearsal for the rehearsal--flowing throughout her.
"So what do you think?" Kelly asked, bouncing over to Jill and Kate.
"Shouldn't we be asking you that?" Kate laughed as they walked off the stage together.
"Well, I already know what I think," Kelly pointed out. "I want to know what you think, and be deadly honest. You think you're gonna like it?"
"Absolutely," Jill nodded.
"Yea," Kate agreed. "Thanks so much for this opportunity."
Kelly laughed, and Kate blushed.
"Did I seriously just say that?"
"Yea," Kelly smiled, patting her arm. "But it was sweet, don't worry."
Kate rolled her eyes, "I sound like a dork."
"Then you'll fit right in," she replied, taking her phone out of her pocket as it rang. "One sec, y'all," she apologized before answering it. "Hey Reba, what's up?"
Jill and Kate froze, their mouths wide open.
"Yea...everything's going great, we're having a blast," Kelly nodded before laughing. "Alright, can't wait to get out there...ok, see you soon." She turned back to the other two singers. "What?"
"Did Reba seriously just call you?" Jill asked.
"Yea."
"Like the Reba?" Kate asked. "The, I've sold fifty million albums, Reba?"
"That's the one," Kelly laughed. "After this, I'm flying out to Nashville to tape this thing for CMT called Crossroads."
Kate shook her head, "That's seriously, insane."
"I know, right," Kelly grinned. "Hey, do y'all want to come watch the show?"
"You could get us tickets?" Jill asked.
"Well, yea, of course."
"I love you," Kate replied bluntly.
"I wouldn't say that just yet," Kelly giggled.
"No," Kate shook her head. "I love you."
