Rome, Friday, 3rd of December 1999

The story told by Elena a.k.a. Blue Fairy

It was a cold afternoon and I was at the station waiting for the train that would have carried me to my first Savage Garden experience. On the train I met Monica for the first time, a girl that I knew in the SG chat room. For all the way we talked about Savage Garden and the possibility to meet them. I was happy because it was also the first time for me to talk endlessly with someone about the guys. In my town I don’t know anybody who loves this band the way I do. The keyword of this experience was: PALPITATIONS!!!!! From the moment Monica and I were in S.Pietro (we were saying: "there is Darren! No, he isn’t… look over there! Oh no he's not him…"... hoping to meet the guys instead of making tourist things).. to the moment when we went in front of the Hotel to say goodbye…
... Outside the studios..
It was a cold day with a cloudy sky but for all the time I saw the sun, because it was shining from my heart. I was one of the fans outside the Rai studios and I could not see the show. As Obi1K said, Darren and Leonie did their best to let us in...but nothing worked. Well, I was just happy because I saw with my eyes that what ppl say is the truth: the guys are really the sweetest persons in the world!

They gave us all their little time. Daniel gave smile at everyone and he was very sweet and willing.

He asked me if there were some fans of the internet and I said:" yes, here I am!" But after that he had to go and I lost the possibility to take a pic with him!! I know that I could ask him in that moment but I was too exited and I have to admit that I lost some opportunity on this great day.

At the end of the show, when Darren came out, he said: "We take some pics?" and I was the first person in front of him... and I was without my camera!!!!  Fortunately Monica was behind me and she took a pic for me. Darren put his arm on my shoulders and in this moment I lost all my shyness I embraced him very strong but with all the sweetness I was able.

In those moment I was hipnotized but fortunately, Simona "stolen" my camera for take some pics for me.. Thank you very much!! Darren you "dazed" me!!

I wanna make a standing ovation to Elena (Blue Fairy) whom was able to smile with all the teeth she had... and I guess Darren noticed it... and also a huge standing ovation to Darren whom - poor child - was sick with fever but he had the heart to dedicate a bit of his spare time to us! Now Elena.. that's the proof that you were sparkling!!!!! ;))
Didn't need to tell her "smile".. And he wasn't upset at all!
