Chapter Fourteen – The Tour is Over

"Can you guys believe this is the last concert of the tour?" Sydney asked in sadness as he skipped ahead of the others. He stopped when he didn't get a reply. "Is anyone going to answer me, or am I just talking to myself?"

"Sorry, I'm just thinking about how much fun we had" Tom said, shaking his head. "These past two months had really flown by. Can you believe we're in France, the last stop of our tour?"

"Yeah, it seemed like only yesterday when we went to McDonalds and ate as much as we could off of the dollar menu" Danny said with a laugh.

"That's was just yesterday" Rhuben pointed out and mussed his hair as if he was one of her brothers.

"You guys are so weird" Dougie said as he shook his head. Harry nodded in agreement and shoved his hands into his pockets, looking around. "What are you doing?"

"He's checking to make sure that no one is following us around to take pictures" Noah replied.

"How'd you do that?" Harry asked in shock. "He like, just read my mind."

"I'm psychic" Noah replied with a knowing smile. Riley, Rhuben, Patrick, Noah, and Sydney held their hands over their mouths, trying not to laugh because they knew exactly what Noah's trick was.

"Cool, then read my mind!" Danny said excitedly. "What am I thinking?"

"You're either thinking about sex or girls in general" Noah replied confidently. Danny's mouth dropped open in shock as Tom, Dougie, and Harry rolled their eyes at his ignorance.

"That's amazing, how did you know that?" he asked.

"You're not that hard to figure out, let's just keep it at that" Noah said as he placed his hand over his mouth, to keep from laughing, but didn't succeed and cracked up.

"What, what's so funny?" Danny asked, scratching his head in confusions. He looked around at his friends who were busting a gut. "No, seriously guys, what's so funny? Let me in on the joke."

"I don't know should we let him in the secret?" Tom rubbed his chin and asked Dougie, who shook his head in reply. "No, what do you think Harry?" He looked over at the drummed of his band and saw that he was shaking his head too. "No, I didn't think you would. What about you guys?" he asked the Jacksons.

Sydney held up a finger and the five of them kneeled in a circle, whispering to each other. They turned around and shook their heads, big smiles on their faces.

"You guys are mean" Danny pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. "Anyway, what's the last song that we're going to perform?"

"Let's make it something memorable" Patrick said enthusiastically. "To remind us of all of the fun times, good times, bad times, we've had together, and we know that we can get through anything."

"What is this, a hallmark movie?" Dougie asked as he rolled his eyes and then made a goofy face. "Are we all going to go prancing around and sing about how happy we are?"

"That's more like a Disney Channel Movie" Riley replied with a small laugh. "And why not?" She linked her arm with Patrick's and waited as Dougie linked his arm with hers. "Come on guys"

"You know how stupid this is?" Tom asked as he shook his head.

"Yeah, but we're all stupid to someone else" Rhuben said with a small laugh and grabbed his hand. "Come on."

"Fine" he said rolling his eyes and the two bands skipped down the street, signing random songs at the top of their lungs, not caring who was watching them.

"Hey Rhuben, we need to talk" Danny said to her as they got ready for their last concert.

"Can it wait, I have to get dressed and get my make up done" Rhuben replied distractedly. Tom looked up from his guitar, a small, satisfied smile on his face.

"It can't" Danny replied seriously. Rhuben rolled her eyes and followed him into his dressing room. "Listen, I know you're still mad at me for what happened with Cecile-"

"You had a naughty (1) with her, Danny! And then right after that you go and kiss me, how can I tell that you're not fucking her now!" Rhuben demanded.

"Because I care about you" Danny replied as if it were obvious.

"You have a funny way of showing it." Rhuben hissed. She turned and started towards the door. "Rack off! (2)"

"I wanted to apologize, and if you don't want to talk to me ever again, I don't blame you" Danny said quickly, causing her to stop. "If it helps, I was happy when I broke up with her, and I never stopped thinking of you when I was going back to the hotel. I was thinking about the mistake I made."

Rhuben pulled her hand off of the doorknob, but didn't turn around. She took a deep breath and bit her bottom lip as she stood there, thinking.

"I got you something, because you're going back home right after the concert, something to remember me by" Danny said and held out a box towards her. Rhuben turned around and brushed her black hair out of her face and took the box from his hand. "Open it."

Rhuben opened the box and stared at the necklace that was inside. Wordlessly, she closed the box and stuck it in her pocket. As Danny opened his mouth to say something, Rhuben held up her hand and cut him off.

"I forgive you, but I don't think that I can trust you." She said softly. "Thanks for the necklace" with that; she walked out of the dressing room and towards make up.

"How'd it go?" Sydney asked eating a banana as a hair dresser brushed his hair. Rhuben didn't reply and sat in a chair and another hair dresser started to brush her hair out.

"That bad huh?" Riley asked sympathetically.

"Could have been worse" Rhuben replied.

"Hey everybody thanks for all of the support that you guys have given us during this whole concert experience" Tom said into his microphone. "We're really happy to have you guys as our fans, and we'd like to dedicate the last song of the night and of the concert to you guys."

Sydney sighed unhappily as he heard the music being started to play. He didn't want the tour to end because he knew that he was going to miss McFly. Tom became like an older brother to him, kind of like another Julius but with a British accent. He didn't overlook him like his siblings did, and Tom made sure that he was able to keep up with the others and wasn't left out. He was probably going to be the member of McFly that he would most, but he knew that he would miss them all after this concert.

Tom: Two years away,
I got back today,
Tried calling up this girl I used to know,

Patrick: But when I said hello,
She didn't know who the hell I was supposed to be.

All: Memory Lane,
We're here again,
Back to the days,
And I'll remember you always,
So much has changed,
Now it feels like yesterday I went away.

Danny: The words around,
That shes moved town,
About a thousand miles away from here

Noah: I ran to get my bike
but it wasn't there
my parents sold it at the summer fair.

All: Memory Lane,
We're here again,
Back to the days,
And I'll remember you always,
So much has changed,
Now it feels like yesterday I went away.

McFly: So much has changed

DarkElements: (so much has changed),
McFly: So much has changed

DarkElements: (So much has changed),
McFly: So much has changed

DarkElements: (So much has changed),

Sydney: Down Memory Lane,
We're here again,
Riley: Back to the days,
And I'll remember you always,
Rhuben: And so much has changed,
But it feels like yesterday I went away.

DarkElements: So much has changed

(so much has changed),
DarkElements: So much has changed

(So much has changed),
DarkElements: So much has changed

(So much has changed),
Down Memory Lane... Lane... Lane

"You guys better make sure that Sydney doesn't get ignored" Tom warned as the two bands said goodbye at the airport later that night.

"Yeah, we'll make sure that he doesn't" Patrick said and put his arm around his brother's shoulders.

"Good luck with your musical career" Riley said with a nod and a small smile. McFly nodded back before Harry jokingly started to sob and hugged each of them.

"There, there, it's all right, Harry" Dougie said sympathetically, patting his friend on the back as Harry sobbed into his shoulder.

"Group hug?" Noah asked. Jake smiled as the two bands put their arms around each other, saying goodbye. "You too, Jake"

Jake hugged them too. "It was awesome getting to know you guys, and I hope that we will see each other again."

"Same here" Sydney said and sniffed, Rhuben nodded in agreement. He looked at his watch. "Hey, we gotta board."

"Right, Tom, make sure that you keep in touch with Gen" Riley said and Tom nodded. "We might be too busy ourselves, and we wanted someone to talk to her while we're gone."

"Bye"

"Bye!" The Jacksons waved back over their shoulders and boarded their plane. Minuets later they were gone, flying back to their home in Sydney, Australia.
