Steve leaves Rachael’s office with sigh of relief. At least he would not have to go alone. Steve just hopes everything goes fine. Every time they get together Neil starts to get angered over the littlest things and then it starts like a chain reaction. Monday night comes quicker than Steve wanted. Now if the night was already over. Steve decides that he will wear a blue Versace suit with a vest no tie and a pair of blue Armani shoes. He checks himself in the mirror. “Charming Stevie your looking good!” he says to himself. Will he take the Benz or the Land Cruiser. Steve decides to take the Benz. As Steve is driving to Rachael’s house he put’s on some Sam Cooke. Sam’s voice always calms him down and boy did he need calming. He pulls into Rachael’s driveway. She didn’t have a big house. It was just right for her. Steve actually liked her house a lot. Not to big. Steve rings the doorbell. While waiting he see’s Rachael’s next door neighbor who seems to be starring at Steve. Just then Rachael opens the door.

RW: “Come in Steve. Almost ready.”

S P : “Wow you look amazing. A lot different.”
RW: “Why thank you Steve. Okay where did I lay my purse. Oh here it is. Ready Freddy.”

Steve is walking out the door he stops to wait for Rachael and thinks to himself she really looks amazing. Rachael was wearing a red dress that went down below the knee not too long with spaghetti straps with red heals on. Steve was really impressed. He has never seen her dressed up before. Steve opens the door for Rachael and she gets in the car. Steve gets in. Before heading off Steve says:

SP : “I hope you like Sam Cooke. I need something to help me relax before the party.”

RW: “I like Sam’s music. Steve you really are nervous about this party aren’t you?”

SP : “In a way yes. Something always seems to happen and a fight breaks out.”

RW: “Well don’t worry. Nothing can happen if I am there. Relax, enjoy the night.”

SP : “I’ll try can’t guarantee anything.”

Finally they reach Jon’s house. Steve makes a comment to Rachael that Jon’s house is lit up like a s**t house in the fog. Rachael laughs and does agree that Jon has way to many lights going on. Steve get’s out of the car and opens Rachael’s door. They walk up to the door. Steve takes a deep breath, then Steve feels Rachael grab hold of his hand and give it a slight squeeze and tells Steve not to worry the night will be fine. Just be yourself and the rest will fall into place. Steve realizes that is one of the reasons Rachael is his manager. She just knows when to be firm or sensitive to his feelings. Something he actually liked about her. Steve rings the doorbell. Waiting for the door to open Rachael looks at Steve and gives him a wink. With that Steve smiles back with a wink. The door opens. Steve can’t believe what he is seeing. Standing in the doorway is Jon with reindeer antlers, elf shoes, green tights and a red shirt.

JC: “Steve I thought you would never show. Come in man.”

SP: “Jon what’s with the antlers?”

JC: “I’m being Rudolph this year. Want to be Prancer? I have another set you could wear.”

SP: “I don’t think so.”

JC: “So Steve, who is the dish?”

SP: “Jon she is not a dish. This is Rachael Wheeler mmmy…” just then Rachael cuts Steve off.

RW: “Hi I’m Steve’s girlfriend Rachael. We were just commenting on how nice the decorations look outside tonight. You really have a way with the lights. Like a sh…”

SP: “Yeah my girlfriend Rachael. So who actually came?”

JC: “Everyone that was on my list. Feel free to get a drink mingle. HoHoHoHo. Watch out for the mistletoe under the archway. Steve if want to have some real fun come into kitchen me, Neil, Ross, and Smitty are getting ready to make the party mix. I’ll let you mix it when we all get the ingredients together.”

SP: “Thanks but no thanks Jon. That’s too much excitement for me.”

Steve looks around. He is really impressed. Jon had a small bar with a bar tender making drinks for everyone. Steve see’s off to the side of the fireplace a small live band. The singer of the band looks an awful lot like Steve Augeri. Could it be? Rachael and Steve head over to the bar.

BT: “What may I get you?”

SP: “I’ll have a mineral water with lemon. Rachael?”

RW: “Champagne.”

BT: “Coming right up.”

In the kitchen Neal, Ross and Smitty are fighting over who gets to add the nuts, when Jon comes running in all out of breath.

RV: “Aaaahhhhh heellloooo! Neal you added the pretzels now it’s my turn to add the nuts.”

NS: “No, you added the pretzels. Give ME the can of peanuts.”

Neal and Ross are fighting over the one can of nuts when Ross grabs the can Neal let’s go and the can falls spilling the nuts all over the floor. Jon running in slips on the nuts and goes down landing on his back. Neal, Ross and Smitty look at Jon and laugh. After about a minute or two they help Jon get up.

NS: “Jon don’t you look where you are going?”

JC: “Well if you’d let Ross add the nuts.”

RV: “Aaaahhhhh heellloooo! The nuts, can I add the nuts?”

NS: “NO!”

JC: “Let’s not worry about the nuts. You won’t believe this but…”

RV: “Does this mean were are not making the party mix.”

NS: “Forget the mix. Jon has something to say. Smitty pick up the nuts.”

Smitty nods and begins picking up the nuts one nut at a time. While doing this Smitty is easily distracted by the pattern on the kitten floor. After looking at the pattern for several minutes Smitty is startled when Ross tapes him on the hand with his foot. Smitty then goes back to picking up the nuts…one nut, two nuts, three nuts, four nuts…

NS: “Jon what won’t we believe?”

GR: “Guys have you see the babe that Steve brought tonight?”

RV: “Aaaahhhhh what babe?”

JC: “That’s what I have been trying to tell you!”

AD: “Hey have you guys seen Steve’s date?”

NS: “We heard.”

RV: “Gregg just told us.”

GR: “You guys better go look. Mr. Single has Mrs. Babe.”

RV: “Her name is Mrs. Babe? I thought Steve’s name was Perry it’s Steve Single?”

JC: “No you idiot! It is Steve Perry NOT Steve Single.”

RV: “So now I’m an idiot. Huh! Huh!”

GR: “Never mind Ross. Just go see the date Steve brought.”

With that they all run to the kitchen door to take a look. They can’t believe it. Steve came with a date. She was actually very good looking. They saw Steve and Rachael laughing and talking with Steve Augeri.

NS: “I wonder who she is?”

JC: “Steve said her name is Rachael Wheeler HIS girlfriend.”

RV: “I thought her name was Mrs. Babe. Who is Rachael Wheeler? You’ve lost me.”

JC: “Ross ONCE again slowly. Steve told me her name is Rachael Wheeler HIS girlfriend.”

RV: “Whatever you say.”

NS: “Well I’m going to say hello.”

RV: “What about the party mix?”

JC: “Ross you make it!”

Neal finds his wife and walks over to Steve and Rachael…

SP: “And then Neal does this…”

NS: “Neil does this what?”

SP: “Hey Neil. I was just telling Steve Augeri some of our funny moments on the road.”

NS: “Oh really! What funny moments would there be?”

SP: “There were so many. So Neil what are you up to these days?”

NS: “Weeellll, right now the bands on vacation. We will be going into the studio after the holidays to record our next album.”

SA: “We Are Neil.”

NS: “You know??”

SP: “You’re going to record another album? Good luck man.”

NS: “What do you mean Mr. Single, Good luck? What are doing besides sitting home and counting your money? At least we are making an album!”

SP: “At this moment I’m writing a new jingle for Harley Davidson’s new commercial which they asked me to be in. A & E has been bugging me to do a live by request, and…”

NS: “Harley Davidson wants YOU to write their new jingle. WHY YOU? Most of your days are spent in hiding from your ADORING fans.”

SP: “Now Neil, no need to get snotty. I’m not in hiding I came here.”

Just then Ross comes running out to Neil.

RV: “Neil we’re getting ready to mix the party mix. Wanna help?”

NS: “No Ross, you took all the fun out of it.”

RV: “Hi Steve, You wanna mix it?”

SP: “No thanks Ross. Enjoy the moment, you do it.”

RV: “Oh goody I get to mix it.” Ross says skipping back to the kitchen.
