It was past two a.m. The stage was now empty and the silence was filled with murmurs from the crowd as most of them exited the bar. Bette took her seat beside Kit and took a swig from the now warm beer bottle in front of her. Alice and Marina soon took the chairs opposite the two sisters.

“Nice set, you guys!” Kit praised the three ladies who seemed to be pleased with themselves as well.

“Thanks, Kit! We had sooooo much fun! Thanks for getting us the gig!” Alice said.

Bette and Marina both smiled and nodded eagerly, still obviously overwhelmed with how well the crowd received their performance.

“No problem. Anything I can do to help you rise to superstardom.” Kit joked.

“I can’t believe they liked our music! This is so surreal! Did you see that group of guys in the back dancing like crazy while we were playing Wake-up Call?” Bette asked excitedly.

“Yeah, I saw that! They were pretty funny. I had to restrain myself from laughing, otherwise I would have fallen out of beat!” Marina added.

Some of the audience members came up to their table to congratulate them on the great show they put on. After a few moments, the bar owner who was a friend of Kit’s walked up to the table and introduced himself.

“Hey girls. I’m JP. I co-own the bar with a friend. I just personally wanted to thank you for playing here tonight. You were really great! I’ve never heard another band with the same sound!” he complimented them.

“Didn’t I tell you they were great?” Kit told him.

“Yeah. I didn’t believe you at first but after tonight… wow! I don’t know what to say!”

The three girls looked at each other and smiled. Each said their corresponding thank yous to Kit’s friend.

“So anyway, here’s the deal… are you guys interested in playing here every Wednesday night? I would love for you to play Fridays ‘cos that’s when we get the really large crowds but unfortunately we already have the slots filled until the end of the month so here’s what I propose – you guys play here every Wednesday for the whole July then starting August, you headline Friday nights. What do you think?”
