The first stop on the tour of wonder was Grand Rapids, Michigan. Anna had never visited the area before, but she was pleasantly surprised to find the September temperature was surprisingly warm as they exited the bus. They had driven over twelve hours straight to reach the large hotel near the outskirts of town, and Anna was ready to flop onto a warm bed and pass out.

They had all taken turns, minus Logan who seemed to never sleep, resting and playing with various trinkets on the long ride. Remy had even offered to let the girls take the big room, but the built in bunk beds had been more than roomy enough for her average height. Kitty, whose eyes had secretly yearned to take the large bedroom, had even agreed eventually to stay with Anna.

Whether it was out of loyalty to her friend or just the fact she was afraid Anna would kill Remy in his sleep, she didn't know. Either way, it came about, Anna was thankful for Kitty's agreement. It had been nice to talk with someone other than Remy for a change and since neither had been able to settle their nerves, they had gotten in quite a few conversations.

"Mommy," Nathan, who had been the only one of their tour group to get any real sleep on the bus ride, grabbed his mom's pant leg and let out a small whimper of protest when she mentioned something about everyone taking a nap before practice. "No sleeping."

"Some of us might need a break, Honey." Jean pet the boy's hair and turned to the adults of the group, "You are free to hang out in the hotel or go out if you wish, of course. But we have to be at the auditorium by three to start rehearsals for tomorrow's show."

Anna glanced at her cell phone and noted that it was only five in the morning. She figured sleep would be a good idea, and gratefully took her card key from Jean. The woman seemed upset that Anna and Kitty were going to have to share a room due to a mistake by the hotel, but Anna tried to explain that it was fine with the two of them. The tour had just started and she was already overwhelmed by the amount of money that was being flung around. Hotel rooms for two people were expensive, but housing a crew, singers, and entourage was too much to count.

Kitty took her key and joined Anna in grabbing their smaller rolling suitcases from the cargo area before they headed off to the lobby. She remained silent as they walked to the elevator, but her silence was broken the second the elevator door slid shut.

"So, Remy is on our floor?"

"I guess." Anna yawned already feeling her energy drop and her eyes droop.

"He seems nice." Kitty ventured and shook her head disapprovingly as Anna's eyes rolled in their sockets. "Have you given him a real chance?"

"Kitty, I know guys like him. They could care less what I do."

Kitty followed her into their room and watched her friend flop down on the bed closest to the door. She fought the urge to demand Anna get up and hang her outfit up first since it was bound to start a fight and distract from her current line of questions. Instead, she busied herself with changing out of her own clothes and slipping on a pair of pajamas.

Unlike Anna, Kitty was growing somewhat attached to Remy, and even Logan. While Anna had slept in the bottom bunk, she had spent a great deal of time talking to the young man. He had told her stories of his past in Louisiana and had even listened attentively to her stories. Any guy who could honestly show interest in stories about a town as boring as her hometown couldn't be all that bad. Even Logan had been nice enough to offer her the last cup of coffee. It wasn't much, but it seemed like a big step for the bodyguard.

The only thing that Kitty had noticed was strange, was the way Remy subtly glanced towards the bedrooms every so often. He was always present mentally for her stories, but it was as if he was waiting for something to happen. And since the only one in the back of the bus was Anna, Kitty was almost certain that the boy was hoping her friend would make a reappearance.

"You know, I almost wonder if he likes you. It's kinda funny, Anna. Like a playground love affair." She sat on her bed and took her hair out of its ponytailed style, "You know, one of those I kick dirt at you because I like you kind of romances?"

When there was no answer, Kitty stopped fiddling with her hair and stared at her friend. Anna's eyes were closed and a soft breath was escaping out of her slightly agape mouth. Kitty sighed and tugged her friend's boots off, before throwing the other side of the comforter over her. As Kitty snuggled into her own bed, she figured it might be best to just wait and see what the Cajun's next move was going to be. She'd hate to spoil the start of something new.

The blaring alarm that Kitty had set for noon, went off far too early for Anna's taste. Judging from the way Kitty smacked at the clock, she was pretty sure it had been too early for the younger brunette too. She forced herself to sit up on the bed and pull off the itchy wig. This was the longest time she had worn the thing and it was starting to drive her insane.

"Don't hurt it," Kitty mumbled as she tried to find the energy to move from her cozy bed. "We only have three of them."

"Do you have any idea how horrible this thing feels?" Anna grumbled and scratched her head with all of her might. "It is like wearing a fire ant colony!"

"It can't be that bad." Kitty sighed and finally exited the safety of her bed to save the blonde wig currently laying on the hotel floor.

She examined the inside of the hairpiece and found that it looked just like the other two wigs packed safely away in two different suitcases. The last thing they could afford was misplacing or destroying the Bella wig. It was a staple to the whole charade and deserved a lot more care.

"Look," Kitty pulled Anna's hands away from her scalp, "I can try to find a solution in the drug store next door. Why don't you go get a shower and get changed?"

"Does the cure involve setting fire to the wig?"

"Get!" Kitty growled and pointed a stern finger to the bathroom.

It hadn't taken Kitty too long to make it to the drugstore and back. She had selected a variety of calming lotions and shampoos that might offer some relief to the itchiness associated with wearing a wig for so long. She had even managed to hear about a famous and low-cost restaurant only a short distance from the hotel. The cashier hadn't known the exact directions, but Kitty had been able to find a helpful visitor in the hallway of their hotel floor.

"Hey, I'm back." She hollered through the cracked bathroom door. "I am getting directions so I'll be like right back. Kay?"

There was no response so she covered her eyes and opened the door a crack wider, "Did you hear me? I left the stuff on the desk out here."

"Sure," Anna mumbled in reply from the steamy shower. She hadn't heard much of what Kitty had to say, but she figured nothing too serious was going on outside of her amazing shower.

Kitty wasted no time in grabbing a pad of paper and pen from the desk. She figured she would only be gone for a moment, so she left her purse on the bed and merely flipped the door guard to keep the door slightly propped open.

She never thought twice when her helpful visitor took her around the corner to point out a few street signs from the wide decorative window.

Remy had slept plenty on the bus and was unable to find anything exciting in his hotel room. He had been to enough hotels and motels to know what they offered in their mini bars and television channel lineups without even looking. It was as if he had picked up a useless superpower after touring for so many years.

Logan and Ororo had always tried to get the most inconspicuous places in order to avoid being bombarded by fans. Of course, obscurity had its downfalls. The hotels were great in quality, but they offered few of the privileges the larger and flashier ones were overflowing with. It was the complete lack of something exciting that set his feet in motion towards a specific room.

By the time he reached Anna and Kitty's door, his ever-present shadow had disappeared. He was surprised that he didn't sense Logan behind him, but he didn't honestly think it was too big of a deal. The big lug knew his way around better than any of them after one sniff of the air, so he was in no danger of becoming lost in a random city.

"Bella," He knocked on the door and was honestly surprised to see it had been left open. "Hello?"

Feeling slightly unsure about the open door, he gingerly stepped inside the room. He fixed the lock so the door would shut smoothly once again and slowly started his mini investigation. One of the beds was re-made while the other one looked as if a tornado had recently run over it. The sound of the shower turning off caught his ear and he stepped a few inches closer to the bathroom door. What kind of person left their front door open then jumped into the shower?

"Anyon-" He paused in mid-sentence as he heard her voice drift sweetly through the door.

The tune was one he hadn't heard before, but he enjoyed it all the same. It sounded like a completely different girl than Bella singing. The voice was so free and happy that Remy doubted there was any way it could have been produced by the stubborn blonde. He figured it had to have been Kitty in the shower and started to edge back towards the door to save both of them from any embarrassing moments.

The moment his hand grasped the doorknob, he heard it…

"What in the hell are you doing in here?!"

He spun on his heels and tried to avoid staring at the towel-clad girl. She tried her hardest to cover herself with the small hotel towel, but it left a great deal of her long, toned legs and impressive cleavage exposed. To avoid incurring anymore of her wrath than he already had, he focused his eyes on her face. She had another white towel wrapped around her hair and the tail end continued to try and tickle her left eyebrow.

"This isn't what it looks like, Chere." Remy kept his voice firm and tried his best to fight the smirk threatening to burst onto his face as Anna's eyes began to practically glow with rage.

"Remy just came to check on you and the door was broken."

"So you let yourself in to spy on us?" She furrowed her brows further forcing her eyes to turn into small bitter emeralds.

"Non, Remy not spying on anybody." He placed a hand to his heart and gave her his most sincere look, "Just figured it be dangerous for deux belles dames such as yourselves to leave their door open in a big city."

"You really expect me to believe that you were just trying to play the concerned citizen, Remy? You honestly believe that anything could happen in a fancy place like this?"

The yell caught both of them off guard and forced Anna's eyes to pop open in shock. She knew the sound of that particular voice and was determined to find out what was going on. Without a thought to her attire, or lack thereof, she shot forward and pushed Remy to the side.

The boy watched in surprise as Anna manhandled the door with her one free hand, then shot out towards the sound of the scream. He followed her unsure what they were running into, but determined not to leave the girl alone. Who knew what she was about to jump into?

As they rounded the corner, they spotted Kitty first. She was rubbing her wrist and staring at the floor. The singers followed her line of sight and saw a twenty-something-year-old man trying to crab crawl away from Kitty. The entire scene looked a little strange to Remy until he spotted Logan standing about a foot away from Kitty.

"Kitty!" Anna ignored the audience and charged over to her friend, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to Logan. He knocked him flat on his butt the moment he tried to grab my arm." She smiled sweetly at the bodyguard who was busy giving the scared young man on the floor a dirty look.

"Um," She stepped back as the shock of the moment dropped and she began to notice just what Anna was wearing, or more importantly, what she wasn't wearing. "What are you doing in a towel in the hallway?"

With her own adrenaline gone, Anna clutched at her small towel and let out a few choice curse words. She offered one quick glare to Remy as if she blamed him for her decision to race out with no clothes, before racing down the hall to her room. The boy just shrugged his shoulders and slowly shook his head. There was no way she could blame him for running through the hallways with almost nothing on.

Although none of them moved from their spots, they could hear Anna let out another frustrated shout as she attempted to break open the locked door.

"I got this." Remy sighed and walked down the hallway with Kitty on his heels.

"What do you want?" Anna grumbled as she kicked the base of the door with all her strength.

"To help a damsel in distress?" Remy joked gently and pulled her away from the door.

He kneeled in front of the door and began to fiddle with the handle and lock. The audience behind him watched quietly, though he could hear Anna drop a few sighs every so often. She seemed to honestly doubt his skill at opening locked objects and it didn't surprise him in the slightest. Who would have believed that a world famous singer had a history quite like his? It might not have gotten him any awards for most outstanding man, but it definitely came in handy in a pinch.

"There." He pulled away the credit card he had used in his process and propped open the door, "You are free to go in and get dressed, Chere."

Anna had to admit that she was shocked he had come through. When Remy had kneeled in front of the door, she had chalked it up to all the times men had pretended to know things just to impress her. He didn't look like someone who would have ever had to pick a lock, let alone break into any place. But there he was, standing tall as ever with a proud smile coating his stubbled face.

"Uh, thanks, Remy." She relented a little and started to walk into the room. "I appreciate it."

"You know," He spoke up again and couldn't help but smirk when Anna's back straightened instantly, "Seeing as how Logan and Remy saved the day, maybe the lovely damsels would grace us with their company for lunch?"

"You saved the day?" Anna gasped and turned to face Remy. "If you hadn't of snuck into my ro-"

"We'd love too," Kitty answered quickly before shoving Anna back into the room and closing the door tightly.

As the boys walked away from the room, Remy could hear the sound of an argument brewing behind the girls' door. He hadn't expected them to take him up on his offer, but he was damn glad that they had. It was nice to spend time with the cheerful Kitty and even nicer to get a moment with the mysterious Bella Donna. There was something about her that just seemed to drag him towards her and he had no idea what that quality was. But he was determined to figure it out.

"I'd wipe that smug look off your face," Logan grumbled as they reached Remy's room. "I got twenty bucks that she kills you before Texas."

"Hmm," The boy mused a moment then added, "Put Remy down for kissed the girl by Texas."

"Your funeral, bub." Logan snorted before disappearing into his own room.
