The day goes on quickly, not letting time in for everyone to get acquainted. The brothers visit a few more towns and take press pictures while Nivea and Cami stay behind in the bus entertaining themselves with Halo. A few hours later, their belongings are tranferred to the jet and everyone settles into their seats while Cami and Nivea seem obviously out of place. Nivea quietly takes the seat next to Nick while Cami pairs with Kevin, and Joe with his father.

Nick fiddles with his hands as the plane takes off, wondering what topic to bring up with Nivea. He barely knows the girl! "So...uh--"

"I'm not good with small talk, either." Nivea nervously giggles. "I don't mind the silence, if that's okay."

Nick slowly nods, leaning relaxed in his chair as he swipes out his iPod from his pocket. As he places on his earphones, he notices Nivea eyeing the device curiously. "It's an iPod."

She continues to stare with a confused expression. Nick prys on, "An MP3 player?" She tilts her head to the right, still not fully understanding him. He smirks. "It plays music."

She understandingly nods. "Does it have any samba?"

Nick looks at her, oblivous.

"Musica de danca?" Nick tilts his head to the left, still confused.

She grins. "Brazilian dance music."

"Ooooh," Nick coos, embarrased he didn't know her country's music. "I'm sorry, I don't."

She shrugs. "You should get some."

He nods and slides his finger on his iPod touch, letting the bright screen some to life. He scrolls down and selects a song by nevershoutnever, quietly humming the words.

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be and you're only as small as the world will make you seem and when the going gets rough and--"

He stops when he feels a light tap on his shoulder and leans in when he sees Nivea eager to share something with him, slipping off one earphone. "Remember when I said something about being quiet?"

He blushes and nods, locking his mouth and throwing away the key. Nivea seems perplexed by the expression, but Nick has had enough explaining for one day.

He peacefully falls asleep to The Bird and The Worm by Owl City and takes a nap for a few hours.

Later on, he slowly opens his eyes, seeing Nivea fully into something she was drawing in the notebook in her lap, insensible to Nick. He peeks at the colorful paper, noticing a anxious girls face holding a notebook running away from--

Just then, Nivea snaps her head around, as Nick quickly closes his eyes, pretending he didn't see a thing. He squints one eye open a minute later to find her still looking at him, unconvinced. He gives her an apologetic look, but she simply gets up and scurries to the bathroom, her notebook stuffed in her backpack.

Nick eyes it, but wouldn't dare touch it. However, he IS curious to what the girl was running away from.

Nick and Nivea spend the next half hour of the flight in silence just as she wanted, him writing lyrics, her playing with the phone Joe let her keep.
They soon land at LAX,
