Hey Idiotas, so I recently watched the space tour DVD again, and remembered how much I loved seeing the starkids backstage being real people. So I've decided to write this fanfic, about the tour, basically taking the events from the DVD and telling them in more detail, with a few added bits! I hope you like the idea and what I've done so far, let me know if its worth updating!
Hugs and butterfly kisses, Ingrid xx
The Lobby in Julia's block of flats was full of stuff. Suitcases, bags, duvets and pillows, and several large metals cylinders, which everyone was very wary of after being, told they could blow a hole in a brick wall! It was freezing and Julia saw that Joe actually had Lauren, who had come in her pyjamas, under his coat! The tiny starkid fit snugly, and smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. Meredith and Brian were also trying to stay warm together by sitting on the suitcases with Jamie sprawled across there lap, acting as a human blanket. Despite the freezing Chicago weather and the early hour the atmosphere was electric! Everyone was excited about what was about to happen... the S.P.A.C.E tour! The starkids had been planning it for months and the time had finally arrived to get on the buses and go!
"Ok guys, has everyone got everything?" called Joey looking around the room.
"I really don't want to touch those things..." muttered Dylan, glancing nervously at the large metal containers.
"I'll help!" shouted Lauren eagerly unwrapping herself from Joe and running to towards the terrifying metal tubes. He caught her arm and laughed as she gave him an evil look.
"I want to help!" she protested.
"Lo, those things are 3 times your size! They can shoot through a brick wall! What if it fell on you!" answered Joe, looking fondly at the smallest starkids pouting face.
She stuck her tongue out at him, but didn't try to lift the heavy metal cylinders again; instead she grabbed her suitcases and perched onto of it, defiantly staring at Joe, who grinned back and jokingly grabbed Joey and zipped him in his coat, where Lauren had been, grinning as he played along and licked Joe's cheek before kissing him on the forehead.
"You've been replaced Lopez!" laughed Joe as he wrapped his arms around Joey, who promptly started singing "the way I do" while staring lovingly into Joes eyes.
Lauren stood up and ran over to Dylan who immediately zipped her up into his own coat and stroked her hair mocking the loving way in which Joe normally played with it, chuckling as Joe and Joey copied him, trying to both stoke each other's hair at the same time.
"Oh my god, you're all acting like 5 year old!" sighed an exasperated Julia, as she watched the friends try and "out love" each other, laughing so hard they were gasping for air.
Eventually after Lauren and Dylan had finished acting out the whole of the "ok is wonderful" scene and Joe and Joey had pretended to make out the way Ron and Herman had in avpm, they gave in and joined the rest of the starkids, who had started to gather up their stuff, ready to go!
"There's still the issue of the metal cylinders of death, pain and suffering," said Meredith, when everyone had themselves together.
"'l'll carry one," called Joe, ignoring the outraged gasp from Lauren and going to stand by one of the silver death machines.
"Me too!" added Joey, jogging over to a second of them.
There was one left and a silence fell across the room, as everyone looked at their feet, nobody wanting to be chosen, tactfully ignoring Lauren who stood with her hand raised, like a school girl.
"Fine...I'll do it, but if I die I'm blaming all of you..."sighed Brian, plodding over to the last of them.
"Ok! Let's go!" smiled Julia, and a burst of exited chatter flew through the air, making the cold night sparkle and crackle with electricity.
After what seemed like forever the boys managed to carefully move the containers to the gate standing between the starkids and the two tour buses. Joe's hands ached as the cold metal pressed against his skin, but he didn't dare let it go in case that set it off and it shot through a brick wall or something. He, Joey and Brian stood behind the rest of the group, fighting the biting cold, and waited for the gate to open. They didn't.
"Meredith?" said Joe, switching hands in an attempt to not catch hyperthermia, "what's going on? Open the gates I'm freezing!"
"They're stuck!"
Joe groaned. The cold was starting to hurt him now, and the fact that they could actually see the warm tour buses was making the frustration worse.
"What are we gonna do?" mumbled Brian, who like Joe kept swapping the hands that held the metal cylinder.
"Well..." sighed Lauren in mock defeat, "looks like tours cancelled".
Joe laughed and pressed his forehead to the cold metal of the gate, and as he did so, it opened!
"Well... that was anti-climatic."
Everyone laughed and rushed to the tour buses. This was going to be...totally awesome!
