Chapter1

The four boys sat at a rectangular table in a row outside the record shop. It had been nearly two hours and all of them felt as if their hands were going to fall off. Tom smiled cheekily at each fan as he signed their single, but the look in his eyes was sheer boredom. Harry sat on the edge of his seat signing each single as fast as he could as if that would make this go any faster. Danny said hello to each fan and tried chatting up any girls he thought were fit along the way. And Dougie sat at the end of the table sulking, as he couldn't sign anything after his skate accident.

"What happened?" A small girl asked as Dougie snapped his head back up after nearly falling asleep. She was maybe eleven or twelve years old and she was pointing to Dougie's casts. He had one on each arm, one was black and one was white.

"I was skateboarding," Dougie told her, "And…well to put it simply I'm a total idiot and I fell face first, catching myself and snapping both wrists. So, that's pretty much the reason I can't sign anything. I'm really sorry"

"That's okay," she smiled at him, "Feel better!"

"Thanks," he said drumming on the table with two Sharpies. The rest of the boys were bored, but at least they had something to do. He was just glad they were on holiday after this so they wouldn't have to worry about finding a backup bassist.

"How much longer?" Danny asked him through gritted teeth as he signed another single. Dougie just shrugged looking down at the CD which stared back up at him. "Obviously" it said in big letters. He didn't like the way he looked in that picture that was on the cover, but then again he never liked himself in pictures.

Finally after another seemingly endless half hour the four of them were done for the day. They all piled into Tom's mini and headed home.

"My whole arm hurts," Harry complained as they walked through the door.

"Your arm hurts?" Dougie said holding up both casts. Harry grinned, "Oh…yeah sorry mate."

"How much longer in those things?" Danny asked opening the fridge.

"Like a month," Dougie shrugged, "Get me a root beer."

Danny pulled out a can of root beer and tossed it at Dougie. Dougie, being immobile in both arms, watched as the can hit him in the chest and fell to the ground.

"Are you an idiot?" Tom asked him, "Honestly, Danny the kid can't catch he has two casts on!"

"Sorry, sorry," Danny laughed picking up the can and handing it to Dougie who struggled to hold it in both wrapped hands. He set it on the table then tried to open it.

"Harry," he whined, "Can you open this?"

"Oh for the love of God," he sighed opening the can of soda for Dougie, "I don't know how much more of this I can take."

"You?" Dougie said, "What about me! I'm the one who's a gimp here!"

Dougie sighed and leaned back in the chair at the kitchen table. Tom smiled and stuck a bendy straw in Dougie's soda so that he wouldn't have to pick it up and risk spilling it everywhere. Dougie smiled and sipped his root beer through a straw. A month with these casts on. What was he going to do?

"Gooooooood Afternoon everyone!" The four boys heard their front door open and they all looked to see who was walking inside. It was their friends Lauren and Riley. They were always hanging out at the McFLY house because Riley had been Danny's neighbors since the fourth grade and Lauren was Tom's cousin. Riley was seventeen and Lauren was eighteen. The two of them were best friends.

"Hey," the four boys said from the kitchen.

"Do you guys have any plans for the rest of the week?" Lauren asked them smiling.

They all looked at each other then shook their heads, "Nope."

"Guess where we're going?" Riley smiled. Harry, Tom, Danny and Dougie looked at each other, completely clueless. They looked back at the two girls and shrugged. They both smiled, "Road trip!"
