A/N: First chapter of my very first McFly fanfic. Hope you guys like it! Sadie and Violet are OC's who meet McFly. The bold "Xx" is a shift in time and italics are internal thoughts of characters. P.S. the email accounts are fake and won't load properly in so I apologize for the format.
Disclaimer: I don't own McFly, just the OC girls so far.

Sadie! Managing to survive through college this year, love? You better be avoiding trouble, missy. I know you. You're like fly paper for danger. Watch yourself, alright? I don't want to have to fly over to Canada and visit you in the hospital, or worse the nick! Mum says hi! Carrie does as well. Seriously, they hear me at the laptop and pounce! When are you coming back to see me? I miss you, so does Mum! Come put me out of my misery already. Fletch is making us arrange tour dates so things are starting to pile up again. Can't you just take a wee break from college and come visit me? You are my best friend. You owe me that much. ;) – Tom xX

Survive it? It's a nightmare. It's not even funny, Tom! Me visit you? You're the one who should get your ass down here and save me! My roommate is driving me up the wall! She leaves her stuff everywhere and steals my food without even asking and I know she talks about me when I'm not here. I just don't understand how she has that much nerve. If she has a problem with me, straight up tell me because I hate living here with her. I miss Debbie too! Tell them both I say hi! I'm glad you guys are all good though. But really, I mean it. Come visit me...Now…like tomorrow…or tonight? – Sadie

That's just rude. Danny says he'll kick her ass if Harry doesn't get there first. ;) Don't worry, Sadie, we've got your back! Tom Fletcher to the rescue! To Canada and beyond! Have no fear, Tom is here…well, I will be there, eventually. Save that catch phrase for later, I 'spose. You serious about us crashing your dorm room, because you know we'll do it. Don't even give it a second thought. – Tom xX

YES! COME NOW. Well, maybe not right now, I'm going to get dinner with Violet. I'll be back tonight though and we can come up with an ingenious plan! – Sadie

Violettt. When do we get to meet her? – Tom xX
sadiecollins(at)hotmail . ca
You don't. She doesn't know about you guys, remember? Well she knows about you but she doesn't know I'm best friends with you. You can't just tell her that you're best friends with her favourite band. That's asking for stalker fan behaviour. – Sadie
tomfletcher(at)hotmail . co . uk
From what you've said about her, she doesn't seem that bad. C'maaan, I'm sure she's not a psycho fan! It would be fun to meet new people anyways! Then you can have a friend to bring on the flight to see us! – Tom xX

I'm glad you think your plan is so ingenious but it's not. No way. Not happening. Bye. I'm leaving now. – Sadie

"I heard you were talking to Sadie just there."
"Of course you'd be interested in that topic of conversation." Tom smirked as his bandmate walked in the living room.
"Sure, she's your best mate, apart from us. I've known her for how long? At least ten years, I do care about her life, Tom."
"As I'm well aware, Doug; but don't play that card with me. I know she means more to you than a mate." Tom raised an eyebrow at the bass player and patted the seat beside him. "Come 'ere you git, and talk to me. If we're going to fly out and see her, I need to know what's running through your head."
"Nah, you're alright. I'd better get back anyways since we're done talking about tour dates. I should leave your house before Gi yells at me for invading your fridge again." Dougie shrugged, trying his best to avoid the awkward confrontation.
"Dougie, like you said, I'm her best mate…I know her and I know you. I also know you like her. It's obvious. Don't try and fool me here." Tom continued, egging Dougie to open up further. However, it was no use.
"I don't like her that way. We're just friends. Leave it, mate. I'll see ya tomorrow, yeah?" Dougie nodded, turning his back on Tom and escaping out the front door.
I know her and I know you. I also know you like her…Tom's remarks raced through the blonde's mind as he made his way home. Of course Tom knew. All the boys knew. The only one who really knew the full disclosed details was Harry, however. Dougie contemplated popping 'round to the drummer's house to chat about the newest addition to his love life but decided against it. Maybe he needed to work this one out on his own, especially if they'd be flying out to Canada to see Sadie. He needed a game plan.
Once Dougie entered the comfort of his own home, fed his lizards and fumbled up the bass melody to McFly's new demos, he caved in to temptation.

Hey Sade, I heard about your prissy roommate. She's a right twat for treating you like that. You don't deserve it. Do you really want to visit us? I really want-No, delete that. We really want to see you. Keep your eyes peeled, you might just see some naked guys walking through your corridors one of these days ;) Don't even try to be disgusted by that image. I know you like it. – Dougie x
Your message has been sent.
There. Conscience cleared. I've dealt with the problem…right? Right. She wouldn't like me anyways; I'm some pervy weirdo who's dated a bunch of tarts…Sadie's not into that. She's my mate, she's like Tom's long lost sister, I shouldn't be thinking about her in this way.

Sadie's life was typical, ordinary and if you asked her, completely and utterly boring... well at least when she was in Canada that is, stressing out about grades and stupid, ungrateful roommates. Her life wasn't completely bad, she did have a few friends and a close one that understood her, but she missed her best friend.
Tom Fletcher, BFF for life; well, she was pretty sure for life considering they had only ever been in two major fights throughout their whole entire friendship. He knew everything about her and they both knew that no matter what, it was always going to be him and her against the world. Sadie and Tom met each other when Sadie was five and he was eleven. Sadie was on a summer trip in Harrow, England with her family when they stopped at a park close to where they were staying. Sadie really enjoyed how friendly all the children were; they really welcomed her and even took the time to explain their slang that really made no sense to her. When the kids started to leave, that's when Sadie noticed a boy sitting on the teeter-totter looking upset and alone. She ended up going over to talk to him and really the rest is history. Okay sure, the age difference did cause many people to wonder how they could relate to each other, but anyone that knew the two mates were aware that age really didn't matter; in fact, it never crossed either of their minds.
The Fletcher and Collins families have always been close ever since that day in the park. So close in fact that it had become a tradition between the two families to visit each year during the summer. The only difference was that Sadie no longer stayed in a hotel; instead, her whole family would stay at the Fletchers.
Sadie always missed Tom when she would have to return to Canada but they did talk on a daily basis which currently was critical for Sadie because that one friend that she was closest to in the whole university, just so happened to be in love with the band that her best friend was a part of...
"Tom! You don't understand... I go up to her room and the whole time I'm there she shows me tour videos! She even showed me the one where you, Danny, Dougie and Harry go to the grocery store... YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT I TAPED! I think she thinks I'm crazy because I was trying so hard not to laugh!"
"HAHAHA that was so brilliant! The cheese twists were the best part by far!"
"Tom!" Sadie shouted at the screen, "You're not listening to me!"
"I'm sorry Sadie but I really don't see the problem with you telling Violet that you are mates with us."
Harry Judd's face suddenly popped up on the screen. "Yeah, I mean the worst thing that could happen is that she doesn't talk to you ever again because you have lied to her since September..."
"Shut it, Judd, nobody asked you! This is a private conversation between Tom and his best Canadian friend!"
"Well not really Sadie because we can all hear ye moaning about yer petty problems from the other side of the bus!" Danny replied.
"I hate you all so much," Sadie rolled her eyes "...and if my problems are so petty why are you even listening!"
"Because we love you" Dougie responded.
"Awww thanks Dougie!"
"Okay enough! The point that I was trying to make, before I was rudely interrupted, was that maybe you need to give Violet a chance, she might surprise you…Just think about it Sadie."
"ALRIGHT! I'll keep it in mind but I gotta go ill text you later."
Skype Call Ended.
How was she ever going to explain this to Violet? How was Sadie even supposed to sit her down and explain that she was best friends with Violet's eight year obsession? She had no idea but she had to try, especially since the boys seemed so keen on the idea of meeting Violet. This wasn't going to end well, she just had that feeling.

Text: 'SADIE! OMG. COME TO MY ROOM NOW. MCFLY HAVE A NEW VIDEO UP ON THEIR WEBSITE AND YOU NEED TO WATCH IT NOW LDKFJGKFJDSGLKJFD AHHHH! HURRY UP AND COME WATCH IT WITH ME! – Violet xx'
Great…That's exactly what I need right now. It's like you have a sixth sense or something and know I just got off skype with these boys. Sadie rolled her eyes at Violet's text message and decided to put on her fake 'I don't know anything' expression and sit through yet another video featuring her famous friends.
Text: 'On my way – Sadie'
Text: 'THEY'RE SO ADORABLE! OMG. I'M DYING HERE! DFKGJFDKLJKJDKFJG! – Violet xx'
Text: 'Calm down or else you're gonna hurt yourself :P – Sadie'
Here goes nothing…Sadie knocked on Violet's door and was greeted by the wide-eyed brunette.
"Took you long enough; come on! Look!" Violet smiled enthusiastically and dragged her friend to the desk where the video was loaded in full screen on her laptop.
"How many times have you watched this before I got here?" Sadie questioned, knowing just how bad Violet's obsession with McFly was.
"Only five times, I almost have it memorized!" Violet grinned, shoving a chair in Sadie's direction and starting the video. "Look! EEEEE! Wait, wait—Look! Look at Tom's adorable face! He's wearing his glasses in this one! I miss his glasses. He should wear them more often—"
"Violet." Sadie interrupted, stopping her from rambling on further. "Do you want me to watch this video or not? I don't need the commentary."
"Oh, yeah, right. Sorry…" Violet quieted herself and pulled her knees to her chest, muffling squeals of excitement.
If you're freaking out at something as simple as this, how am I ever going to tell you I'm best friends with Tom? You're not making this any easier, Violet... Sadie couldn't stop thinking about the near-future conversation she'd have to have with Violet while watching the video. It was some quick update about the arena tour in England and Sadie couldn't be bothered to have as much excitement as Violet. She'd been to plenty of McFly gigs and as much as she loved every one of them, she was starting to imagine the reality of bringing Violet to a concert and the flailing that would occur. Sadie shook her head in horror and returned her focus just as the video ended. "That was awesome." She replied with a small smile, much to Violet's dismay.
"Awesome? Why aren't they coming to Canada! Why does the UK get all these concerts and I'm STILL WAITING. EIGHT YEARS OF WAITING! I'm so tired of waiting! Can't they just tour here already? But did you see how gorgeous they looked?"
"Yeah, I saw."
"But you didn't freak out with me! Geez, you're no fun to flail with, Sadie! Sometimes I feel like you just put up with McFly because I freak out about them so much…Am I annoying you with all this?" Violet asked honestly, worrying her lip between her teeth, afraid of the answer.
Yes. "No. It's fine, you're just…really obsessed…that's all. It's kinda funny to watch." Sadie replied, feeling a bit of relief at the honesty. It was quite entertaining to watch Violet flail and get so excited over her best friends. It was weird…but funny that someone would be that impressed over four boys she'd known practically her whole life. Sadie never thought of them as famous, really. They were extremely popular of course, but they were still normal guys. It was odd to see someone like Violet, so invested in their lives and habits.
Text to Tom: 'FML. – Sadie'
