What Dreams Are Made Of (Open)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was finally time for Samantha Mackenna's album to be released. After weeks of hard work and only seeing Ryan out of her entire group of friends, she was finally able to hang out with everyone and relax for the first time in over a month. Sam was nervous, but not all that nervous considering what tonight would bring for her. As the first part of the party, Sam would be performing a few songs from her album for the group of people that was coming this evening, including all of her closest friends who she considered to be her family.

Josh, one of her producers, stood up on the stage to the side of the tent where the party was being held in front of a large crowd of people and introduced himself and the band to the audience, which followed a small introduction about her. ”Sam is hands down one of the sweetest individuals I've met in the music business. She's young, but she writes amazing lyrics that everyone can relate to. She has so much talent built inside her and I am honored to have worked with her on her first album. Once you all hear the music that she entirely wrote herself, you'll agree with me that there will be many more albums to come.” Sam teared up a little bit once Josh had finished talking, but regained her focus a few seconds later as she walked out on stage to the applause of an entire room of people, which was kind of overwhelming. Colorful lights lit up the stage as soon as she walked on, which made her

The first song she sang from her album was called “I'm Only Me When I'm With You,” a song she wrote about all of her friends who accepted her regardless of all her crazy traits. They helped her be who she wanted in life and she was glad they were around to help if anything bad happened. She had 5 half-brothers in the other boys of One Direction. She knew Carter and Cade especially would probably drop kick anyone who even attempted to make her cry and they always knew how to make her giggle. Cole would always be her fashion buddy and Faith was her crazy sister that she always wanted but never got biologically. Each one of her friends had their own specific function in her life and she was very glad to be able to call each of them her friend.

“Love Story,” the next song she sang, was entirely about Ryan. She considered Ryan to be one of her closest friends, but he was definitely part of a different category of friend. Her lyrics in the song were entirely the truth. They had met at a young age and had grown close, possibly falling in love at that point. They were made for each other and all they had to do was say yes.

“You Belong With Me” was also about Ryan, but written for a different reason. Sam thought back on all the times Ryan had called about problems with his ex-girlfriend Jane, and she remembered how many times she just wanted to drive up to where he was and kiss him senseless until he fell in love with her instead.

Before she performed the last song out of the group of a few songs from her album, Sam decided she wanted to say a few thank yous. "I just wanted to quickly say thank you to every one of you for being here tonight to help support my dream. To all my friends, for dealing with me when I was stressed out about finding the right sound or spending all day in the studio, I love you guys. To my producers and everyone who is working with me from the recording studio, you guys are awesome. And finally, to my best friend Ryan who has been there for me from the beginning of my conscious life, I love you. You guys are my family and I love you all!" As soon as she was done talking, the notes for "Fearless" began to play. "This final song is called 'Fearless,' which will be one of the singles for this album. Enjoy!"

"Fearless," the last song she was performing, was all about how Ryan had been there for her throughout all of the troubling times she'd had to endure. In whatever way he could, he was always her shoulder to lean on, whether it be in person or over the phone. He truly made her fearless to do pretty much anything because she knew he would never leave her to fend for herself. After years of friendship, she knew Ryan would be there forever.

Sam wasn't used to hearing so much applause when she finished singing her small set of songs and giggled as she left the stage with a skip in her step. She couldn't believe how awesome she felt at that moment and knew that this would be the first of many more performances like the one she just did. She climbed down the stairs of the stage and went about putting her acoustic guitar in its case, wondering when her group of friends would decide to pop in and attack her.

Colette found out online one night that Sam finally finished her first album. Colette was really happy for her but at the same time, she also thought about how it feels like to be in Sam's position. Cole wasn't really the one to sing. Just some typical, as she thought. Though, Modelling was a great thing, Colette was even one of the most known models. Well...one of the most, Especially if you get compliments and such but then she won't really get known much. Which is kind of a good thing. By that, she could go out with Chester a bit more freely. A bit since... of course, the issue will always be there. The right day arrived and here they all are now. The six boys, producers and such of Sammy and a bit of everyone needed, honestly. It was a beach party so obviously, people would have to bring their swimwears. Being a model, Colette had tons of accessories and clothing lines. Among everything in her closet, she chose the one she'd likely wear on a normal beach hang out. Colette didn't want to overdo any dressing. Besides, for Colette it was just a group hang-out but with other important people too. Colette stood inside the room along with Chester, Carter, Mikey, Cade and a lot more. They watched as Sam found her way along her little spotlight, which would soon be a big spotlight. Colette tore her gaze around the room when someone, or Josh as he introduced himself, got the attention of everyone. He made a speech which made Colette even more proud of her best friend. Sam, soon got the spotlight to herself. They played music and Colette listened to them all. She found out that all of those songs were written by her from Carter. It was amazing how someone could express their feeling and on the right terms and tons too. Colette grinned at Sam's speech and she also mentioned Ryan. They were madly in love. Perfect for each other. "I wish Chester and I were that perfect..." she thought to herself as she clapped along with the others on the end of her speech. Sam's songs were literally good. She would reach her dreams and maybe even get more famous than the boys one day. Colette chuckled when Sam got down. "Lets attack her?" someone asked, mischief playing on his words. Colette nodded, "Lets go for it!" She answered as they all ran to hug her. "We're so proud of you Sammy!" Cole grinned again. As they all break apart, Colette's smile stayed. "Look how far you've been now! You're like... a shining star! You deserve this Sam... I love your songs so much!" She finished as she hugged her again. [/style]

Well, with her album. Sam was finally going to accomplish her dream. She wanted this for a long time. Maybe even since she was a kid. But Carter wasn't really sure. She just met Sam through Ryan. But they were really close... they were best friends. She was his mate. It was actually nice to have her around tour. It was always fun on tour and having a girl on board would be even more fun. They could prank her and such. And there would be funny issues. Believe it or not, Carter found some issues about the band a little funny. For example : Chester and Eli were duplicates or clones. Carter, himself, got a girl pregnant. One of the boys, dating a famous actor and all those things. It might not be the best thing but it cracks him up a little. Well... as long as it doesn't get that much big and won't affect their fans. To their band, the fans were the most important thing. It would be the same with Sam. Carter grinned the whole time and joked around with Cade. Sometimes even mini-pranking everyone else. Josh, who said so himself, made a speech. Next up are a bit of the songs. Like a sneak-peek and then Sam's speech. Carter cheered like an idiot or maybe even like those in the bleachers, cheering for their favorite team in sports. He didn't care though. Carter clapped the loudest and shouted, "THAT'S MY SAMMYBOO!" As if he were the father or something. It was actually funny. Carter wanted to burst out laughing. Then, she got down. Carter had a mischief feeling and he asked all of those surrounding him "Lets attack her?". He grinned and pulled out a mini-scary face. As if those in movies where the evil guy had an evil plan. Colette, by his side, Agreed. And so did the others. He took first lead. At least he hoped. And then attacked Sammy in a bear hug. After what Colette said, Carter pretended to disappear. Well, he did. Carter had been longing to try out the brownies if they were made by Sam. Carter took a bite and ran to hug Sam while behind her. "I WANT SAMMYBOO'S BROWNIESSS" Carter whined/announced as he took another bite of the brownie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam felt herself be surrounded by a few pairs of arms in varying sizes and knew immediately that her friends had her surrounded. “You guys came!” Sam said with a smile, bouncing up and down from the overload of excitement she was experiencing after such an awesome performance. Sam knew this was the night her life would change drastically and was so glad all of her friends were here to share the experience with her. Sam laughed at what Cole said and could only smile in return. “Thanks, lovely. Feels so good to finally be done and get out there and show everyone the importance of writing all your own songs. My next album, I'll have a song all about you, ok Cole-bear?” She laughed and gave her friend one of the biggest hugs ever.

Sam immediately turned to Carter after he let her go. “Boo-bear, I heard you on that stage. You're like my biggest cheerleader, huh?” she laughed, giving him her own version of a bear hug that hardly compared to his massive hug earlier. Sam had purposely made a batch of her special brownies to see if Carter would find them and laughed hysterically when he came running back to her with brownie falling from his mouth as he attempted to talk at the same time as he chewed. “Boo-bear, chew with your mouth closed.” She giggled and poked his cheek to get him to close his mouth so he didn't get chunks of brownie on her shirt or even stuck in her white bikini she was wearing underneath her normal clothes. “That would be awkward..” she thought to herself and laughed as she watched her group of friends who were now her family goof around her. “Let's go swimming!” She grabbed Cole's hand and began pulling the girl down the beach towards the ocean.

Carter was seriously like Chester and Eli but only with Sam's brownies. Those six boys would fight from Sammy's brownies. Chester even asked her once online to bake him brownies though, she doesn't really know how to make brownies herself. Just basic side dishes. Cole wasn't really much of a big cook. Her skills were just enough to keep her alive if she starts to go on with her life alone. Which wouldn't much happen. After this big high school semester, she'd go to Paris. Have two or a month off with her freedom and get married. Sometimes she actually wondered if she could get divorce after marriage. But the thought of giving her innocence to an unknown guy? That was horrible. Colette smiled at Sam and hugged her back. "That would be my honor." she said, talking about the song dedication about her. No one actually wrote a song about Cole. Probably because she wasn't really that big in the famous industry nor not all of her friends were singers. Maybe a poem, yeah. From the secret admirer she had on middle school. He was certainly charming. If Cole ever meets him, she would introduce that guy to everyone. Cole listened to Carter and Sam's little conversation and laughed along with them. Carter and Sam could be cute couples, honestly. But Sam and Ryan? Then Kyra and Carter? Those two couple match were matches made in heaven. Colette blushed a bit when Sam grabbed her and told her they'd go swimming. Well, honestly it wasn't a big thing. Chester didn't knew but Cole had modeled in a few beach themes and swim wears. If he knew, he'd either freak out or would want to see the pictures. Colette just ran along outside the tent with Sam then smiled at the sight of the water. "Lemme change." She grinned and took off her beach pullover and comber short to show her one piece, blue swimsuit then placed her glasses and clothes inside the little beach bag.

He missed her over the days. It sucked that they were busy. Soon enough, they'll gonna have to record around too for their sophomore album. But the thing Carter would like is a song with Sammy. Like a One Direction feat. Sam McKenna or the other way around. That would be awesome. The only thing they'd have to worry about is new issues. Which hopefully wouldn't be that hard at all. Carter laughed and then kept chewing the brownies with big open mouth, some pieces dropping. Honestly, he was trying to impersonate how the twins ate at times. When to tell them 'Close your mouth while chewing' they'll open their mouth bigger and chew near you to show you that they don't care. It was funny but disgusting. Then again, Carter didn't really mind. Afterall, he didn't had to clean it up. Carter's room was obviously messy. The boys just got to clean it 'cause if they didn't, his room would end up like a dumpster. His left over foods there, clothes all over the floor. He'd certainly need a tidy girl to be with him. Carter swallowed all the brownies and nodded like a child. "GIMME A S! GIMME AN A! GIMME A M! What does that spell? SAM!" he shouted, imitating a preppy cheerleader in a funny tone. Sammy grabbed Cole to swimming with her. Carter pouted as they left then looked at the guys then out the tent. Perhaps leaving them alone wouldn't hurt. Afterall, he'd want a swim himself. Carter ran and threw his shirt carelessly. He had extra shorts on the car so it wouldn't matter. He ran and dragged Sam to the water but failed, getting them both ended up in the sand. "SAND COVERED!" ((sorry this sucks! >.>))
