Tony took a deep breath and went outside to where the guys were waiting with Ashley. He was nervous so he rubbed his arm with his good hand and hunched his shoulders.

Ashley saw him and gave him a face and shook her head.

Tony dropped his Head and looked at the ground.

"How long" Vic said.

"Only 5 days..." Tony said.

"So that's 3 shows we have to cancel??" Ashley raised her voice

"No!!" Tony quickly retaliated. "Luna. She's really good, so much better than me. She's going to play for me. She's nervous though... Vic I told her we'd let her play for meet and greet... Can you sing with her? Give the kids a little treat? They'll love it."

Vic quickly nodded "she's scared of the crowd?"

Tony nodded.

They said okay sounds like a plan and Tony went back to the bus to help Luna.

Luna was in the back lounge, tuning his guitar, brow furrowed in concentration.

Tony walked to the back and sat down in front of Luna, helping her when she needed it. She finally got through a few songs all on her own and Tony smiled.

***

The meet and greet and sound check went great and Luna looked more confident after playing for the kids at meet and greet. Tony hoped that was true.

***

It was almost time for Pierce The Veil to come on and Tony was holding Luna's hand.

"I'm so nervous, I don't know if I can do this." Luna was trembling a little, once she caught a glimpse of the crowd she became a bundle of nerves.

"You have to Luna baby. I’ll be right on stage with you and you'll love it after a few minutes it’s an awesome experience. I guarantee you're not going to want to leave after." Tony rubbed her hand.

Jaime was warming up and jumping around but came over when he was done.

"Baby." He said, wrapping her in a hug "you're shaking, calm down." He kissed her forehead and then her lips.

The lights dropped, indicating that it was their time to go. Tony squeezed her hand. "Come on" he said walking towards the stage.

Luna followed him after they all did their chant, a little cautious.

Tony held her hand all the way to the stage. Instead of playing right away he had asked Vic to let him speak first.

"Hey everyone." He said and waited for everyone to stop saying hi back.

He raised his left hand in the air "I'm a moron. I sprained my hand and I can't play tonight, but my little sister Luna is going to play instead okay? She's great and she's probably better than I am" he laughed. "She's a little nervous, it’s her first time in front of a crowd, can you all make her feel welcome?" Everyone started cheering and he raised his hands up to make them go louder.

When they died down he said, "alright I'm going to be on stage the whole time, but Luna's going to be playing. We're Pierce The Veil, enjoy!" He said moving away from Vic's mic.

Luna smiled and waved when Tony introduced her, then strummed a chord on her guitar.

Their intro started playing over the speakers, and Jaime played the first bass note, sending it out in waves around the venue. Everyone started cheering. Vic strummed the intro on his guitar and Mike played the drum beat, then Vic screamed "This is the street youth rising UPPPP" and they went right into Hell Above.

Luna relaxed as soon as she started playing, getting lost in the music and jumping around.

Tony sat on the risers and watched his sister with awe. Her fear melted away so fast and she looked like she was loving it. Tony smiled wide at her.

She flashed a smile back, at the end of the first two songs she threw her guitar to the tech and switched to the green and black one while Vic did a little speech, just like her big brother.

Tony's eyes went wide as Luna did the guitar toss he had no idea she knew how to do that too. He relaxed when it safely reached the techs hands. Fans were crowd surfing up the barricade and he high fived them as they ran away. He was having fun just watching.

Luna started playing Besitos, after Mike did the drum intro. Her fingers glided effortlessly over the frets, she had definitely inherited Tony's talent.

After Besitos, Jaime took to his mic "how about that beautiful girl over there on guitar huh? Isn't she wonderful?" Jaime looked over at her and smiled.

Luna blushed and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him hard. "I love you." She murmured in his ear as the crowd screamed in appreciation.

Jaime kissed back and smiled at her "I love you more" he said in her ear.

Luna blushed and walked over to Vic, putting her arm around his shoulders and smiling at him. "I like that we're the same height!" She said into his mic.

"Some ones getting cocky" Mike said into the drum mic and threw a spare stick at her.

"Finally someone in the band is the same height as me!" Vic said, wrapping his arm around her.

"How dare you throw sticks at me! Peasant drummer." Luna stuck her tongue out at him and tossed the stick into the audience, along with the pick she had been holding.

"Bitch, I'm a better drummer than you" he said into his mic again and stuck his tongue out.

"Don't be so sure about that." She replied.

"You wanna test your cockiness?" Mike said, standing up and pointing at his chair.

"Alright, you're on." Luna handed Tony the guitar to hold and sat down at the kit. "Want me to freestyle or are you gonna give me a song?"

"Just play" Mike said, waving his hand at the kit.

Luna started to play the beat that normally goes with their old Black and Yellow intro.

Mike watched with a smile on his face. When she finished he stuck his hand out for the sticks back "alright alright little sis you're better than me. I've taught you well." He said near the mic and kissed her temple.

Luna grinned and skipped back down, taking the guitar back from Tony. "Are we gonna play another song or what?"

Jaime walked over to Luna and whispered in her ear "wanna play bass for the next song?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"We'll who's gonna do the guitar?" She laughed.

"Me silly" he said as he handed her the bass and took Tony's guitar.

Luna rolled her eyes and laughed. "Guess I'm playing bass now." She said into Jaime’s mic before returning to her spot.

Jaime started strumming on Tony's guitar to get a feel for it since he hadn't played in forever, and then gave a nod to Mike to start the next song.

Luna started the bass line when the time came, she hadn't played in forever but it was just natural to her.

The song finished and Vic laughed "this is what happens when you're the sister of Tony Perry and his friends fight over what instrument you're going to play." He hugged her from the side "Luna Perry everybody!" The crowd screeched. "And how about Himes on guitar?? Nice, dude!"

Hime switched instruments with Luna.

"This next song... Lulu bear would you like to help out and sing with me? Since you're showing off all your talents already" Vic laughed.

Luna laughed and nodded. "May as well!"

"Awesome! Luna's gonna help me sing Hold On Til May, everyone!" The crowd went wild.

"I'm gonna steal your mic when it’s my turn." She said, backing away to get ready to start.

Vic laughed and started the song. Tony watched his sister. He didn't get to hear her sing much.

Luna played until Vic sang "and she said" and started backing away from his mic. She stepped forward and started to sing her part "if you were me you'd do the same, cause I can't take anymore ill draw the shades and close the door everything's not all right and I would rather..."

Tony watched in awe. Her voice was beautiful. He stood up and ran to hug her when she was done. The crowd went wild.

She hugged him back, dropping her hold on the guitar and letting the last note of the song ring through the venue.

"Love you LuLu" he said. "You're perfect. So good"

"I love you too." She smiled.

***

After the show was over, Luna barely made it to the back lounge before she collapsed on the couch. She had wanted to lay down 10 minutes ago but everyone was stopping her and commenting on how talented she was.

Jaime found Luna in the back lounge and sat down near her. "Tired?" He said and laughed.

"I'm pooped. Jesus Christ how do you guys do this every night for months???" She replied.

"Lots of rest and practice" he laughed, stroking her hair. "At least it's only for 3 more shows."

"I have to pee. Ughhh. I just got comfy." She pouted but then sat up and made her way to the bathroom. A few minutes later an excited screech came from inside.

Tony, Vic, and Mike went running to the door "what's happening are you okay?" They all yelled through the door.

Jaime smiled and walked out to the main part of the bus "I think that means I'm not a dad" Jaime said proudly, clapping Tony on the back before sitting in the front lounge.

"Not a WHAT?!" Mike yelled.

Luna opened the door a few minutes later. "Hime is correct." She smiled and started to make her way between them.

"Why doesn't anyone tell me anything!" Mike pouted. "You thought you were pregnant??"

Jaime laughed "talk to Mike, Lu... Tony can I talk to you in the back?" He looked at Tony. Tony looked unsure but went anyway.

"We forgot a condom once, but I took Plan B. it's 99% effective but there was still a chance so we've been hoping that I wouldn't miss my period this month."

"That moron forgot a condom? That's like guy 101... Bonehead" Mike shook his head "so catch me up on life what's going on with you these days."

"Hey he bought the Plan B for me! It was like 50 bucks, Jesus. Ummm not much really besides showing your ass up at drums tonight." She grinned at him.

"Oh please, you cocky little ass" he snorted.

Tony and Jaime returned from the back lounge a few minutes later, both smiling slightly.

Luna laughed and flopped down. "Are you gonna be my drinking buddy this tour??? No one can hold liquor as well as us." She looked up at her two boys. "Why are you two so smiley?"

"Of course" Mike said, grinning.

"Nothing" they both said together.

"Hey baby tomorrow is an off day. Do you want me to take you to the Eiffel Tower and show you around the city?" Jaime said as he sat down with her.

"Yes!!!!" Luna stood up, yawning. "Where's Vic? I wanna see him."

"Probably working in his bunk" Tony said.

"Okay." Luna went to find him. "Viiiiicy."

Vic slid open his curtain. "Yes love?" He said sliding off his headphones.

"What'd you think of the show tonight?? Anything I can improve??" She asked.

"You start off shaky every song. Be confident. You're great you shouldn't doubt it" he said, clicking at some things.

"Okay." She smiled at him. "Writing?" She asked, not looking at the screen because she didn't want to be intrusive.

"Mixing." He said, showing her the screen. There were different bars for different instruments and vocals.

"Oh sweet! Can't wait to hear it. I love your demos." Luna smiled and kissed the side of his head. "I'm gonna go to sleep I think." She said.

"Okay love bug. Will I see you tomorrow?" He asked.

"Maybe, Jaime's taking me sightseeing so I don't know." She smiled when she said his name.

"Oooh how romantic a date in Paris" Vic said.

"I know right?? I'm so excited." She said.

"Ok go get some sleep kiddo. You'll need lots of energy" He said.

"Good night. Love ya. Thanks for the encouraging words." Luna kissed his cheek and smiled, then went to find Jaime.

Jaime saw Luna looking for him "up front!" He said, standing up from the table. "Are you ready for bed?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm falling asleep on my feet. Night Tone." Luna hugged him. "Night Mikey"

"Night kid" Mike ruffled her hair.

"Night sweetie" Tony said.

Jaime took her hand and they climbed into his bunk together.

Luna kicked her shoes off and settled in with a sigh. "Goodnight." She murmured to Jaime.

"Love you. Sleep well baby" Jaime snuggled her and he fell asleep fast.
