Megan couldn't sleep, again. At first, she considered going to bother Karen, who was an incredibly good therapist, even if she didn't know it. But then she remembered that Karen was with Dougie, and she would rather not see what Dougie would do if she kidnapped Karen. She wondered what Ali was doing. Maybe she could help.

"Ali," she whispered. "You up?"

Ali sat up and glared. "Well, now I am."

"I can't sleep."

"Take a pill? Get drunk." It was well known that instead of getting drunk, Megan would just fall asleep.

"But then I'll become addicted and have to go to rehab and…well…you guys could go on without me, I guess."

Ali rolled her eyes. "So what's up?"

Megan sighed. "I think you guys are right. Tom might actually like me. God only knows what's possessing him, but he seems like he does."

"No shit, dumbass." Ali was tired of Megan being this oblivious. She was temped to lock the two of them in a closet, naked, just so they'd get together.

"But…it's just," Megan tried to explain, but failed. "I…you've met all my boyfriends. I have shitty luck with boys as is, especially with musicians. Remember when Even…well…dumped me, basically? I promised myself AND you guys I'd never date a musician."

Ali laughed. Megan obviously liked him, but wasn't admitting it to herself. Ali understood why, but it pissed her off. "Have some chocolate, find your copy of the Across the Universe soundtrack, and go to bed."

Megan nodded. Then, she went into the kitchen and raided it for chocolate. But, she remembered that she had lent Tom her Across the Universe CD.

"Tom?" She knocked on his door. "Tom?"

Tom woke up with a small jump. He wasn't a deep sleeper, and the light tapping on his door was enough to get him up. It was Megan; his heart skipped a beat.

He got up and opened the door. "Yeah? You all right?"

Megan rubbed her eye. She was already feeling more tired. Wow, Ali has magical powers. "Uh…yeah…I just wanted to know if you were done with my CD."

Tom thought for a moment. He had forgotten she'd lent him that CD; it had been weeks ago. Then he remembered. "Yeah…I am…it's…umm…" he went inside and started digging through a mountain of CDs. Megan laughed a little and followed him into his room.

"Do you need a hand?" she asked. He shook his head and muttered that he knew where it was. Megan laughed again and sat on his bed, almost immediately laying down. Tom glanced up at her and pushed out the…different thoughts that entered his mind.

Once he found the CD and she left, he realized that he had to do something. He thought about asking Ali, but he had a feeling she would say something like "god you're such a dumbass." Plus, she didn't even know how she felt about Harry. So, he decided to bother Karen instead.

He knocked on Dougie's door, and thankfully, Karen answered, dressed in a bathrobe.

"What the fuck do you want?"

He laughed a little and glanced inside at the sleeping body of Dougie. That boy slept like the dead. "Since you're obviously not busy, can I ask for advice?"

Karen sighed and nodded. She closed the door and got dressed quickly, then pulled Tom into the kitchen.

He explained everything to her, from how he felt in the beginning of the tour to her coming into his room a few minutes ago, even if most of it was irrelevant.

Karen took another bite of candy bar and rolled her eyes. "Tom. Don't be offended by what I'm about to say."

"Ok…"

"You can't do anything right," she said.

"I'm having trouble not being offended by that."

"Okay, so the thing is...Megan is a little confused by you because she doesn't want to date musicians, but you're being so incredibly sweet. So she's sort of...well she doesn't know if she can like you but she does anyway. You're doing all this nice stuff, like protecting her, and doing all this stuff for her, but she doesn't know that you like her. She just knows that you're incredibly amazing. So put yourself out there. Go all in. Jump in with both feet. Whatever you say here."

Tom was still taking in her speech when Dougie walked in, thankfully wearing a pair of boxers.

"Where'd you go?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Here, apparently," Karen said. "Have you got it, Tom?"

"Yeah, I think I do," Tom said. "Thanks."

Suddenly, Dougie came over to Karen and picked her up.

"Whoa, I'm being lifted," she said.

"Goodnight, Tom," Dougie said.
"'Night, mate," said Tom. He stayed in the kitchen for a while, thinking about what he would do.

Harry also could not sleep. He was still thinking about Ali and the tingly feelings. He decided to go wake up June.

"June," he said when he shook her awake.

"You better be dying," she said.
"Well...sort of," he confessed.

June sat up abruptly. "You know I was joking, right?"

"Yeah, but I have a problem."

And so he told her about Ali and the jealousy and the tingly feelings. June looked very thoughtful throughout the entire conversation.

"I think you should admit that YOU LIKE ALI," June said.

"What?" Harry said. He didn't think that she'd come to that conclusion.

"Why are all you McFly boys so dense?" June said, shaking her head. "You can never figure out that you like a girl."

"Well...fine. I admit that there might be the possibility that I like Ali," he said stiffly.

"Well, now you've finally admitted that, try and woo her or something. But she's incredibly oblivious to flirting so you'll probably have to make a parade for her," said June. She was starting to fall back asleep.

"Okay," said Harry. "You're the best. Danny's lucky."

"Good night," she said. She fell back on her bed and was asleep nearly immediately.

Harry went back to bed and thought about Ali. Again.
