"I'm so glad you chose to interview me first," Alli said, grinning widely. "Cody and Greyson were so jealous."

Angela looked up over her laptop a second to give Alli a fleeting smile, and then turned right back to it. She was keeping things all business.

"So what kind of questions are these?" Alli asked, giggling a little as she spun around in the chair. We were backstage in Cody's and Greyson's dressing room at their first stop (Carson City, Nevada) while they were doing a dress rehearsal on the huge stage. It was the day after Alli had found the impersonal bathroom schedule, and she hadn't said anything. She had followed it to the best of her abilities, and asked Angela twice if she wanted to do things with her, Cody, and Greyson. Angela had refused.

"Just questions," Angela mumbled. "Things fans would be interested in, you know…"

"Cool," Alli said, continuing to swing herself around in the swivel chair.

"Okay," Angela said, cueing up a blank word document so she could record Alli's answers. She had the questions set up, she just needed answers. Alli stopped spinning and turned to Angela expectantly. "What's it like being Cody's sister?"

"It's really cool," Alli said. "Cody's one of my best friends in the world. He's always been there for me, and I'm here for him. We get along better than most brothers and sisters, I think. He's kind of my role model in some ways…"

Angela's fingers moved nimbly across the keyboard of her laptop writing Alli's words.

"Did things change when you and Cody moved to America?"

"Yes, I'd say so. Not in the bad way, but things were definitely different…We lived in a hotel for a couple months because we couldn't find a house, so that was definitely interesting. Also, I missed my friends a lot."

Angela nodded.

"Okay…What's your favorite color?"

Alli thought for a moment.

"Green," she said at last.

"Favorite singer?"

"Ooh, I like a lot of singers…Nick Jonas, Drake, Nicki Minaj…and Harry Styles."

I brightened up.

"You like Harry Styles?"

"Absolutely!"

"Me too!"

The girls giggled together for a moment, before Angela remembered that she couldn't be friends with Alli. She took a deep breath and went back to her laptop.

"Favorite makeup brand?"

"MAC," Alli said.

"Okay…And last one. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Alli thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "No. Not yet…But I really like-Never mind."

Angela gave her a questioning look, but Alli didn't elaborate. And asking would be too personal to someone who wasn't a friend.

"Okay, if you see Greyson tell him to come in," Angela said, editing her text. She titled it and put it on the website under the "Alli News" tab.

"Alright," Alli stood up and straightened her short velvet skirt. She walked to the door, her heels clicking on the wooden floor and her hair swung around her back as she walked. She paused, her hand on the doorknob.

"I have a question for you," she said, turning back and sitting on the swivel chair again. Angela looked up.

"Look, I really don't have time for-"

"No, seriously," Alli said, and Angela faltered under her solemn gaze. She hadn't seen Alli not smiling or laughing yet, and the difference on her pretty face was astounding.

"Okay, what's your question?"

"What's with the bathroom schedule?"

Both girls looked at each other, trying to stare the other down. Alli's blue eyes melted Angela's brown ones, and they continued to glare. Finally, a smile flickered at the corner of Angela's lips, and Alli broke into laughter at the same time as her.

The girls laughed at nothing for few minutes, harder and harder until tears formed at the crinkles in Alli's eyes.

"I'm really sorry about that," Angela said, settling down. "I'm normally not like that."

"Then why did you decide to be for the tour?" Alli asked.

"Well, my dad wanted me to be somber about the whole thing," she replied. "Like, be all business and act like a professional."

"Well," Alli said, reaching across and touching Angela's hand. "Even professionals have friends, Angela…And if you decide that you want a friend, I'm here for you. So are Cody and Greyson, actually. They're both sweet guys."

Alli stood up and walked to the door. She paused again, but this time it was because Angela had called her name.

"Alli, wait."

She turned.

"I would like to be friends," Angela said, trying not to think of her dad.

Alli grinned.

"So would I…Tell you what. I'll send Greyson in, and then Cody so you can interview them. Then while they do their sound check we can go get a coffee or something. Would you like that?"

It was Angela's turn to grin.

"Yes, very much."

Alli nodded, and left, closing the door as she called for Greyson. Angela smiled, the happiest she'd been since this tour started. Her dad would understand, of course.

What harm could come from being friends, anyway?

A knock sounded at the door, and Angela called for Greyson to come in.

"Hi," he said, somewhat breathlessly. "My turn?"

"Sure is," Angela said. "Sit down?"

"I love these chairs!" Greyson laughed as he sat down in the same swivel chair that had been previously occupied by Alli. He wobbled a bit. He started to talk. "One time when I was new to everything, I got one of these chairs in a photo shoot I had to do, and so I wobbled in it and I turned circles and everything-"

Greyson became overcome by laughter for a few seconds, and Angela grinned in expectancy for what was sure to be a funny story.

"So," Greyson continued. "I fell off and totally landed on my butt, just as the camera flashed. You should've seen the picture they snapped. My face was like this."

Greyson twisted his face into a painful grimace, and Angela burst into laughter. They talked and chatted and laughed together for awhile, and then Angela asked him questions. His responses were so cheerful and down to earth, that by the time he left Angela had felt like she'd made another friend.

"You're really cool," Greyson said as he was about to leave. "Why don't you hang out with us?"

Angela shrugged.

"It's complicated…"

Greyson grinned.

"Well it doesn't have to be…Maybe later we can hang out?"

Angela grinned.

"Sounds like fun."

Greyson closed the door and a few minutes later Cody came in.

"Hello, Angela," he said, and he closed the door.

"Hi," she said somewhat stiffly. Alli was one thing, Greyson was another. But Cody, with his intense way of looking at her and his beautiful greenish eyes, was absolutely one hundred percent on another level.

She was attracted to him, and never one to make rash decisions, it scared her. She didn't believe in love at first sight, but it seemed like she would have to start or she'd lose her mind.

"So you want to ask me some questions?"

"That's right."

Cody sat down in the swivel chair, and looked at Angela with a little smile on his face.

"Cool," he said. "Shoot."

Angela rattled off questions nervously, and he answered looking slightly amused. She finished, and he looked at her curiously.

"Angela, why do you seem so nervous?"

"I'm not nervous, why would I be nervous? Do I look nervous to you? Because seriously, I'm not nervous," she babbled.

Cody smiled a little more.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Okay, maybe a little nervous," she said.

"Why?"

"…I don't really know…"

"Well if it's because of me, you really don't have to be nervous."

Angela glared up at him.

"Why would it be because of you?"

Cody shrugged.

"You think that just because you're a famous pop star every girl is bound to be nervous around you? Well, newsflash (insert last name here). You're not that big of a deal."

Cody looked stung.

"That's not what I meant at all."

"Don't you have a sound check to do or something?" Angela asked, blushing furiously.

"Yeah, you're right," Cody said, getting up and walking to the door. Like both Alli and Greyson, he stopped and turned.

"Angela?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"I really like your shoes."

Angela looked down at her feet. Neon pink and black Pastries with spiral laces.

"Thanks…"

Cody smiled at her once more.

"You're very welcome."

Note: Hey guys! I hope you like this so far! Next chapter I'm going to be using some extras, so review and let me know that you'll be watching for yourselves or else I might use someone else!

Anonymous: Here you are! Haha, your support means the world to me! Thanks for reviewing this…Do you like Cody?

Ayley: Aw, thanks so much!

Angela: Haha, sorry it took so long!

HiHowAreYou: It would definitely be hard to be mean to them! Especially Greyson! I love them both, but I don't think I could look into Greyson's eyes and be mean!

ArieGreyPurple: Of course you can be an extra! I just need your full first name, hair and eye color, a brief personality description, and if you prefer Cody or Greyson!
