Note: Well, so do we all know Son Of Dork? They do feature in this story as well!

.fm/serve/_/36767/Son+of+ - if you'd want to see what they look like...

That's them. From left to right: James, Danny (Hall), Dave (David), Steve and Chris.

Suddenly, as we reached a crossroad, he stopped and so did I.

"Umm…why'd we stop?" I asked.

"'Cause I kinda don't know where we are…"

"As in?"

"We're lost".

"Oh, smart" I retorted "And they say guys are better with directions. What exactly do we do now?"

"What I do everytime," he replied calmly.

"You sound like you're used to this."

"I am" he replied, as he put his phone of speaker.

Tom (T): Where are you?

Dougie (D): Umm..Tom..we're near…uh…Wakefield Avenue. How do we get to the pizza place?

T: Mate, don't worry. We got it delivered…

D: You what? You sent us out in the cold, now we're freezing!

T: Well, I'm sorry…*laughs*

D: I hate you…

x-cut-x

"So we go?" I asked

"How?"

"Why?"

"I…forgot to ask about the way back…" he said, as the thought dawned on him.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're shit with directions. I think I know the way back, so follow me." I said

He blushed slightly, and then smiled sheepishly. I felt my cheeks go slightly red, but I dismissed it for the cold.

As we walked back, a thought suddenly hit me. The more I got to talk to him, I realised we were really similar. Something for boardsports, similar music tastes, idolising Blink, to name a few. Was Jess right? Did I really like Dougie? Somehow we never had a lack of topics to discuss, and he sure was good-looking. Exactly all I could want, eh? I shook my head to get the thought out. I wasn't sure of anything anymore. Not after Eric, at least.

I wasn't sure if I could handle the silence anymore, so I was happy as we approached the house.

As we entered, I immediately had to pull off my jacket.

"It's hot" I muttered as I sat on the floor, and snatched the pizza box. Dougie reached over me and grabbed a piece.

*Mmm…woody…musky…with a slight tang. Whatever the scent is, it's nice…*

"You could've just asked" I said, holding up the box, but he was gone. I got a shock as he sat down beside me and said "its ok" so quietly, I was sure I'd imagined it. I leant back on the sofa, and so did he, as we were sitting in front of it. Jess and Danny were sitting on the sofa (and I pretended that I didn't see them holding hands at one point). Harry was on a single-seater and Tom was on a beanbag. My eyes were too tired to focus on the movie, and I found myself gently shutting my eyelids…

I blinked (HA! That word!) rapidly, before sitting up and moving my head slightly. Why did my neck hurt so much? Then I looked beside and saw Dougie sleeping, hair all over his face. Evidently, I had slept the whole night on his shoulder. He looked so cute like that; I didn't want to disturb him. I ran my fingers through my hair, surprised at how frizzy it was. Abut time the straightening wore off. I looked around. Everyone was still where they were, except for Harry, who was missing.

I got up quietly, and went to the kitchen, to get some water. I saw Harry standing there, with a puzzled expression, in front of the pantry.

"Need help?" I asked quietly. He jumped slightly, and turned around.

"Did I scare you?"

"A bit" he replied, laughing. "You're an early riser?"

"Earlier than today, for sure. You don't cook, do you?"

"Not really"

"Thought so. Move aside, lemme see…hmmm…pancake mix…"

"There's orange juice in the fridge"

"Ok, and there's maple syrup. Something simple will do?"

"I can't do any better, sorry"

"You're not cooking, I am!"

X~ 15 minutes later ~X

"I smell food!" I heard Tom scream.

"Shut up, or else you'll wake the others up!" I yelled back.

"Uh, I think you've done that already" Harry said, laughing.

"Oh, right, sorry!" I apologised.

~x Dougie's P.O.V x~

I woke up, and held my left shoulder. Why was it so sore? Suddenly I remembered. Yesterday, after the guys sent me and Lara out (probably on purpose), and we came back, she fell asleep on my shoulder a few minutes after we sat down. She looked really…well, pretty, just there so I didn't really feel like moving. I hope she didn't notice the mess I made, playing with her hair!

Now, thanks to Tom's screaming, I was awake. I rubbed my eyes, got up, grabbed some hot pancakes from the table, squirted a huge amount of maple syrup on them, and grabbed the beanbag.
"Thanks, Tom" I said.

"I didn't make them, Lara did" he replied.

…Wow, she can cook as well? How much more…perfect can she be?

~x Lara's P.O.V x~

"Umm, so when do you wanna leave?" asked Danny, to me.

"Uh….where?" I replied.

"Tour" said Dougie.

"Ah, I forgot, again!"

"Just give us, what, half an hour. We'll meet you at 12:00, kay?" said Jess.

"Sheesh, how long does it take to wear just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt?" said Danny.

"Longer than you think" Jess replied.

"I mean, you don't really need to wear all that much of clothing either…" he started. Jess glared at him. I picked up a bottle of water.

"Ok, ok, 12. we'll honk outside" he replied hastily.

~x in Tom's Mini, somewhere in London x~

"Nice of Tom to lend you guys the car" I told Dougie.

"That's 'cause I said I was driving" replied Danny.

"He wouldn't have given it to you if you said that" said Dougie quietly. I burst out laughing.

Suddenly, Dougie's cell phone rung. He answered.

"Hey…today…3…all?...Dave?...James?...Steve?...oh, yeah, all…now?...i guess so…sure…yeah…"

"Dude, James and the others are coming round at 3" he said as he hung up.

"I figured" Danny replied, quieter than usual, "And we have to go?"

"Yep"

"So…what's happening?" asked Jess.

"Umm…we kinda have surprise guests coming over, which mean that we have to go now. But how about this: we postpone the tour, and you meet our friends? Come in the afternoon"

"Not leaving us with much, are you?" Jess replied.

"I'd love to meet them" I said.

"Well, then it's at when?" said Dougie.

"4?"

"Done"

~x 4pm, at theirs' x~

"Ok, so we're not a band. We just assist a band, which is you guys. You guys are a band. Clear?" said Dougie.

"Uhh, yeah, but why this charade?" asked Dave, one of their 5 friends over.

"'Cause Dougie had some brilliant plan, which we had no idea of, to get a girl" said Harry.

"Shut up, no. it was just a momentary thing. I didn't know what to say" retorted Dougie.

"Smart…" said Chris, another friend.

"You bet" answered Tom.

*ding dong*

Harry opened the door for us and let us in. I noticed five other people there.

"First things first, let's introduce everyone to everyone" said Tom "Ok, so meet James, Dave, Steve, Chris and Danny"

"Another Danny? How confusing" I replied.

"We live" said the one I recognised as Steve quietly. I tried to control my laughter, and failed.
