Free Life After That by Barbara Kevin Page A

scenes and in a place with laid-back people, where you don't have to worry about what clothes to put on to go to work, where you don't have to wear suits and formal cloths ever.
    The Japanese guy stopped and said:
    "I'm staying here, but Andy's office is 2 doors away, right there." – he pointed this office that had its door closed.
    "Thank you."
    "No problem."
    Kirstin knocked on Andrew's door. When she heard a 'Come on in' from inside, she opened the door.
    "Andrew Jackson?" she asked from the door to a guy that had his hand covering the phone speaker.
    "Yes. Are you Kirstin?" Kirstin nodded "Please, come in. Sit. This will only take a second." he pointed to the phone.
    Kirstin closed the door and sat. It was a small office. Just a desk, a computer, some chairs and 2 filing cabinets. And Andrew was nothing like she expected him to be. By his voice, she expected to see someone in his late thirties, but Andrew looked like he was in his late twenties. He was pretty cute. Short blonde hair, green eyes, 'Really cute' she thought.
    Andrew soon hung up the phone. And then, shook Kirstin's hand.
    "So, you are Miss Kirstin Addams."
    "Yes, that's me" she gave him a smile. She felt more comfortable around him than around Mr. Goodman because Andrew was closer to her age.
    "Ok then. Let me tell you what you are gonna be doing here. We are starting this new show here at MTV in 3 weeks. We needed new people. We got a lot of people to work on it too but I noticed that I couldn't do the editing all by myself, so I had to have an assistant. And that's where you come in. How do you like it so far?" Andrew asked Kirstin. She sensed he was flirting with her so she decided to play the same game.
    "So far, so good."
    "Great. The editing will be all on you and me. It's a short show. A typical 30 minutes show, not so difficult to do. The only thing is that this show was on this other channel and MTV decided to buy the rights to it and it's now gonna be shown here and the group management would like the editing to be pretty similar as it was on the other channel, so we'll have to do a little research about that and we're already running a little behind schedule."
    "I'm sorry. I'm not quite following you here. You said group management. What is this show about?"
    "Oh, sorry! It's about this band, O-Town. We'll be working on 'Making the band'."

    "1, 2, 3 and that's it." Dan was practicing, in fact, teaching Ashley some of the steps for the song 'Take me under' on the little rehearsal area they had at their house "I think you got it now Ash."
    "Yeah, I think so too. Thanks Dan."
    "No problem, bro."
    They made their way into the kitchen to find the other 3 guys eating cereal at the kitchen table. They were being videotaped already because the show 'Making the Band' would be starting in less than a month and MTV needed a lot of material to work for the first episode.
    "What do we have today? Anybody knows?" Trevor asked putting his bowl of cereal and spoon down in the sink.
    "Hm, we got a meeting with the Mikes. They called about an hour ago saying they would be coming soon, so they should be here at any moment now. They said we'd have a meeting. I don't know what it is about though." Dan answered.
    "Good. I wanna talk to them about the editing again." Jacob said "I didn't like the editing they did there at ABC. I wanna discuss that with them."
    "Yeah, no one was really happy with that Jake. I think Mike and Mike will bring that up." Erik told him. The other 2 seasons, when the show was airing on ABC, the guys were not happy with the way the episodes were lead. Especially season 2. So they wanted to be as much part of the editing process as possible.
    When the Mikes got to the O-Town house, they went straight to the dinning room to have their meeting. They discussed about the last dates of the tour (they were finishing a tour opening for Britney Spears) and some rehearsal schedule. Jacob, seeing that the MTV
