Chapter 28: worldwide tour

The time has come; all their hard work over the past months has finally paid off. Thanks to their manger, they got the opportunity to play worldwide. The tour will consist of going across the United States, and in foreign counties too. Starting with their first time in Japan. They were all every excited, however for orihime and the others minus Hannah and shinji. They were all having mixed feelings. Sure they were happy to be doing this tour, but at the same time it was going to be harder for them to tell shinji and Hannah what they really wanted. During their free time, they all practice long hard hours to prepare for the worldwide tour. Their manager even wrote an excuse note for them so that they would miss school, but make it up when they are on tour. They were getting stressed out as it is, but for the sake of their friends they, were biting the bullet and tried their best to get through it. "I can't wait to go on tour! We get to visit all the places we want!" said shinji very excited. All of them nodded in excitement, Hannah was also happy about it. The best part of this tour was that they all get to spend time together and get items form each destination as a remembrance of that place they visited. While shinji and Hannah went to get snacks for them and their friends, Natalie and the rest of the gang. Had a secret meeting deciding that they were going to leave the band and start fresh. When each of them heard what they wanted, it was decided that they were going to be supportive and still be best friends.

But the hardest part was breaking the news to shinji and Hannah. When shinji and Hannah came back, the rest of their friends acted like they were happy to see them and they started to eat during their fifteen-minute break. While eating they were laughing and talking about their day and, couldn't wait to go on tour and visit their fans form around the world. Later that day each of them did their own thing preparing for the world tour, which also meant the secret jobs that they have. They would have to take off for certain amount of days. Shinji was starting to get a weird vibe form their friends, but couldn't figure out what it was. So shinji kept an eye on them and watched their actions, because actions speaks louder than words. While preparing for the world tour Hannah was packing up her clothes along with shinji's, and when he came over he said to his wife "hey honey, we need to talk" he said coming up to her from behind. "Oh? Is something wrong dear?" she asks a bit curious to know why he sounded so serious. "Something odd is going on with our friends. It's as if they are being distant form us" he said. "I'm sure that's not the case, maybe there's a reason behind their actions honey." she said to him trying to figure this out. "True, but what is it that they don't want us to know about. It's the not knowing that is making me worry" he said. "Sooner or later they will tell us. Let's just leave them be and they will come to us when they are ready" she said trying to assure them that it's going to be okay. And that it's for the best to not meddle and try to pry out the information. "Yes you are right honey, but I wish that I knew why they were treating us this way.

We didn't do anything wrong to do them" he said expressing his point and trying to figure out what could be the cause of all this. "I know, but like I said. They will tell us when they are ready, right now we need to focus on the concert." Hannah said, as she was finishing up packing his and hers clothes and other items they will need for the tour. Shinji does his best to focus on the concert, but what he could only think about was the answer to his question. He knew that it would be wrong, to spy on his friends to get the answer. Along with meddling and trying to pry the answer out, but before they were ready to head out to the tour bus. Shinji was in the room that he and his wife shares, got to one side of the bed, got down on his knees and started to pray about the situation. He prayed that the situation between his friends will get better, and hopes that the friendship will not break. He has been through so much in the past and worked on making he's life better. The last thing he needs is to lose his best friends. When Hannah was walking in the halls of their home, she was about to pass the bedroom to check on their kids and she sees her husband praying. She smiled seeing her husband praying asking god for his help, and showing shinji the right path to take and let nature take its course. When Hannah got to her children, she says "Justin, Bella, you guys want to come to the tour with your father and I or stay home?" Justin and Bella looked at each other then Bella says to her mother "we'll come and join you mom. It will be fun to see the world and travel." "I agree with Bella, but there's one question that I'd like to ask you mom" said Justin.

"Oh? And what is your question son?" Hannah asked curiously. "Can Bella and I bring five of our friends with us? I know that it's a lot to consider but, we want our friends to experience this with us." Said Justin. Hannah thought about and said "Well, since you asked nicely. I don't see why not, however only five friends. And your friends need to get permission from their families, since your father and I will be watching and taking care of you guys." Said Hannah letting her kids have their friends come with them. Even though Hannah is sweet, kind and gentle. She has to be strict sometimes to lay down the rules for her kids, she wants what is best for them and to keep them safe. "Yay! Thank you so much mom!" said Justin and Bella as they hugged their mom. "Oh and kids don't forget to ask your father as well." Hannah said "Yes mom, we will" said her kids with excitement. "Oh and one more thing mom" said Bella. "Yes sweetie?" said Hannah. "During the tour, is it okay if brother and I and our friends get souvenirs too? So that way for our friends that couldn't come will have something to remember us by?" "Sure, our manger is giving is money to spend during our tour. So we can use it on souvenirs, dinner and fun time. But we need to be careful with our money. We don't want to be broke." Hannah said. Both Justin and Bella nodded in excitement, they quickly got on their phones and texted five of their friends that they were going on the tour with them. And told the rest of their friends, that they will bring back a souvenir for them. Also Justin and his sister looked for their father, and found him in the basement exercising.

"Dad, we know you're busy but can we ask you something" said Justin. Shinji stopped what he was doing and looked to his children and said "Oh, I'm never too busy for my kids. What's up?" "Well we wanted to know if it's okay to bring five of our friends with us to the tour" said Bella. "Did you ask your mother? What did she say about this" he asked his son and daughter. "We did, she said we can as long as we like budget our money" said Justin. "If she's okay with it and I am too. Did you let your friends know already?" he said "Yep, just texted them and they said they are packing as we speak." Said Bella. "Fantastic, I'll call the manger and find out when we are leaving and keep your friends updated too." Said shinji smiling at his kids. The kids nodded in excitement, as they were on their Facebook accounts talking about it and just totally pumped. While on the phone with the manager, shinji tells Hannah to tell their kids that they were actually leaving tomorrow afternoon. Once Hannah relayed the message, their kids told their friends to keep them updated as planned. Everyone was hyped up about this tour, well except for ichigo and orihime. They couldn't leave their kids along unattended since they were just babies. So what they did was ichigo asked his father if he could watch his sons while he was on tour. The dad agreed to help his son out. Natalie was feeling conflicted about all this, especially the fact that she was going to leave the band soon. But hasn't told or even announced it yet. On top of that she has to call in sick at her new job and make a planned schedule for the substitute teacher. She was stressing out big time, but ichigo was doing everything he can to help out his girlfriend. Ichigo and his friends were packing and feeling stressed, happy, nervous and just plain excited about the tour.

They were worried about school and other things too, luckily their manger thought of everything. During the tour, they will have home schooling as a tutor will be helping them catch up with their school work. Also keeping touch with their families and such, so that they can be in the loop and know what is going on. Upon packing and making preparations, Hannah was contacting some friends or relatives that could house sit for them while they were gone. Justin and Bella were super excited and they got the chance to spend time together. What a lot of their classmates and teacher did not know was that Justin and Bella were incest, even though they are brother and sister. They still care for each other as they were soul mates/ brother and sister, most people thought that was stupid idea. But their friends accepted who they were and didn't judge. It was Justin and Bella's choice and they didn't care what others thought. Even their parents shinji and Hannah and no problem with it, because they respect their children and give them freedom. Anyway once the next day had come, everyone was totally excited making final preparations and gathering their luggage. As Hannah was making breakfast, Bella was taking a quick shower as well as Justin doing that too. Shinji and his friends were organizing the luggage so, that when the limo arrived they could put in the trunk and head to the airport. "Justin, Bella, honey breakfast!" Hannah said calling her family to eat and made extras for her friends that were there to help out. While eating they were discussing what they wanted to do in the states and countries that they would be visiting.

Once breakfast was done Justin and Bella headed to their rooms to relax for a bit before, heading to get their friends. Since Justin and Bella both drive they share a car together, the car that they own is a Suzuki sx4 sliver. The one that their parents have is Suzuki sx4 red and Suzuki sx4 black. About few minutes later, Justin and Bella headed out to pick up their friends and take them to their house. Since they were going to fit in the limo, took about two limos to take all of them since the limo could hold seven people at time. Justin and Bella were nonstop talking with their friends and how excited they were, and taking pictures together as well as making videos and posting them to YouTube to excite the fans. The best part of this tour was that Hannah and shinji were planning on letting their kids have their spot light moment and sing with them. Upon arriving at the airport fans were seen screaming and taking pictures, seeing the band leaving their hometown, which was Japan and heading to travel the world to more of their fans. And Hannah and shinji thought of it as a way to spend time their family and their friends. Instead of going through the process of checking in bags and such at the airport, they had a special private plane just for them that was big enough to hold everyone plus their luggage. Upon entering the plane, they were surprised and happy that they have something like this. It was pretty much a dream come true for all of them.

As the plane took off, they were all just keeping themselves occupied and relaxing; because their first destination was Europe. When the word spread that the band was coming to Europe, all the fans in that area got tickets and backstage passes to meet the band the kids of shinji and Hannah. Upon landing in the airport their first gig was in Amsterdam, then Berlin, Madrid, Rome, London, followed by Paris, Prague, Stockholm and Vienna in that order. So they had pretty busy schedule to be in Europe. All the fans in those cities were pretty excited to see the band. And Hannah was pretty excited to be playing her hometown that she spent most of her childhood in, which was London however despite all the hell she has been through she has had pretty good moments with her family. "I bet you're pretty excited that we are playing in London huh mom" said Bella to Hannah. "Yup, I grew up there until was about fifteen years old" Hannah said with a smile. "Fifteen years old? So then that means at that time you and your family moved to japan. And that's how you met dad?" asked Justin. "In a sense yea, because before I met daddy. I was in an abusive relationship with a different guy. And daddy had a mission to stop the violence. The first moment he saw me, it was love at first sight." Hannah said telling her kids how she and shinji had met. Both Justin and Bella were, so happy to hear how brave their dad was to save their mom and that their love was very strong since it was love at first sight. At their first stop in Amsterdam, they headed to their hotel called Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam. Upon arriving to their hotel, fans were seen holding banners, and wanting pictures with them as well as autographs. To satisfy most their fans, they took pictures with them, signed autographs and did video shout outs for friends of those fans who couldn't make it. Once they got inside, they checked in and headed to their rooms with their luggage.

The arrangement of who gets what room is as followed: Justin and Bella share one room, ichigo and Natalie get one together, keigo and Sasha, and so on. They didn't really unpack much, considering that they were only staying in each city for about a week or two. While staying in the hotel, they decided to catch up on their sleep so they were fully rested and ready to go the next day. Ichigo and orihime didn't really get that much sleep, they were up talking and spend time together. But also to check on the twins, ichigo called his father to check in with his sons to see how they were doing. When orihime came to check on ichigo, she saw that he was video chatting with his dad. She went over and saw how her sons were doing, and she was so happy to see they were doing well and looking so cute. Natalie decided to leave the room since she didn't want to disturb them, but ichigo went after her and told her it was okay for her to be there. Also the fact that his kids love her and so does his father. Pretty much each of them had their own ways of relaxing on their first day there, and some of them even took a nap, or went sightseeing and other cool things too. However the next day, they went to the studio and practice their songs for the concert that was tomorrow. Everything had to be perfect, the stage, the dancing, the singing and many other things too. They wanted to put on a good show for their fans and, show them a good time and well just have a blast and make it memorable. The time difference really got to them, it was sort of hard to adjust and stay focus on the preparations. They had to bite the bullet in order to put on a great show.

On the other hand with Justin, his sister and their friends they seemed to adjust to the time difference a lot faster than their parents and their friends. Probably because it depends on how the body is feeling and all. Anyway during their second day rehearsals were going well, and working hard to make sure everything was working properly. Justin, his sister and their friends were posting updates about their trip. To keep their families and friends back home updated, and for a teaser for the fans they posted behind the scenes videos of the band preparing for the concert. It wasn't long as the video went viral and fans were really pumped and excited now to see the band. Also on this very day, there was free autograph sessions and meet and greets. So even though almost everyone was dead tired, they did their best to be on their best behavior and try to have fun. Once the fans heard about the meet and greet, as well as the free autograph sessions. All the fans lined up at the area where it will be held and waited patiently for the band to show only the fans waited, but also the news reporters showed up and interviewing the fans and reporting about the event that was happening on this day. About few minutes later, the band shows up and the lines started moving as the fans got autographs and got the chance to meet them and have brief conversations with them. For this even happened for about two to four hours, and lot of fans showed up hoping that they get the chance to meet them and give them free stuff. The band didn't care about the free-stuff, they cared about making their dreams come true and living the dream.

Shinji was so kind, that even though he received gifts form the fans he gave the fans Japanese goodies. The fans totally went gaga over it and felt thankful and grateful to shinji for going out of his way to do that for them. Once the event was over a lot of the fans were very happy, whereas there was some fans that couldn't get the chance to do it. But there was another date that will have the meet and greet, so fans were looking forward for that and the reporters were interviewing the band as well. After that fun-filled day, the band decided to do some sightseeing together and to get some lunch. So they asked their tour guide if he knew any good places to eat. Upon deciding where to eat, all of them agreed to go to a place called Bruine Kroeg (brown café). Just by looking at the place was very unique and cool. The café was an older fashioned atmosphere with dimmed lights, candles, and somewhat older clientele. When all of Europe heard that the band was coming. Everyone took it upon himself or herself to make sure that they had a nice warm welcome and have the best service they can offer. So when the owner of this fine café saw them, they got seated quickly and was given the five star royal treatment. The food and service was really good, as their order came about maybe few minutes they had placed their order.

Justin and Bella were so happy to be there as they were taking photos with their friends and family. As well as the other band-mates doing the same thing. Everyone was having a great time together, soon after they had gotten ready to do one last rehearsal for their concert. On that night they all went to bed early to get a good night's rest to be ready for the concert. The next day was the big day, the start of their first worldwide tour. To visit every state and country to see their devoted fans of all ages. As the band made their grand entrance to kick off the show, all the fans were hyped up and excited to see a great show. The concert ran two hours long to fit in all their hit songs and also have fun activities for their fans to do in between and in between intermission, during the beginning, breaks and at the end of the concert the band was giving out free stuff to the audience. Such as free t-shirts, wrist bands, towels and plushies all form japan. Once their days of being Europe came to a close, they continued on their tour across the states in the mainland as well as playing in the Hawaiian Islands. Shinji and his friends along with his family had a great time. And the best part was they were doing this together and sharing the experience. However tensions rise within the group, how long can this group of friends hold on to their dream of being a band before it crumbles apart. Read the next chapter to find out.
