OHMYGOSH!!!!!!! 100 REVIEWS!! Thankyou, you amazing people, especially dani6531 who was the 100th reviewer :), but you all totally rock! Thank you again!
Ok, so I meant to post this chapter on MONDAY! But I forgot. Then on Tuesday, I was with Ryan. Then on yesterday I had horrible sinus headaches and couldn't look at a computer screen as it killed my head. So here it is now! Sorry for the wait!
Hmm.. Over the past few weeks, I've been told to stop writing fanfiction, and write normal stories. Well in my honest opinion, they can go jump. Although I'm not great at this at all, I sure do have fun writing it!
This chapter's pretty weird and random, but bear with me. It's almost the end! Three more chapters to go!
----
Once we were inside, the seven were already waiting for us. 'A dare from our crew, we have to dress up as something for the whole day, even when we're playing,' Tom smiled.
'What are we dressing up as?' I asked.
'We thought maybe you could help. We all need to coordinate,' Danny replied, smiling. I looked around the room, trying to find something that we could all dress as.
'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?' Vanessa suggested.
'There's nine of us,' Dougie sighed, looking genuinely disappointed.
'Did you really want to be a dwarf Dougie? It wouldn't take much, just a pointy hat,' Harry teased and Dougie smacked him in the arm.
'Princesses! And their Princes!' Sophie suddenly gasped as she spotted the dresses hanging in a corner.
'But there's only three girls,' Tom pointed out.
'And there's nine of us, not enough to be partners,' Zac added.
'One of you boys could dress up as a girl,' I giggled.
'And the Fairy Godmother!' Nate added, also laughing.
'I'm Lucie's prince!' Zac exclaimed, grabbing my arm. Nate grabbed Sophie and Danny grabbed Vanessa. Dougie, Harry and Tom looked at each other before Dougie and Harry took each other's arm.
'Does that make me the Fairy Godmother?' Tom sighed and we all nodded, stifling laughs.
'Let's just hope the dress fits,' he murmured, walking over.
'Who shall we be Lucie?' Zac asked, taking my arm as we headed over as well. Sophie and Nate had already taken a dress and a Prince outfit and were chatting about it.
'I always wanted a Cinderella outfit when I was little?' I suggested.
'Perfect,' Zac smiled, rummaging through the dresses until he came to a shimmery light blue one, handing it back to me. Hung on the hanger was a blue headband, the same colour, white gloves and a note saying to ask about the slippers. Zac found himself an outfit and together we went to try them on. Weirdly, the dress fitted perfectly and Sophie helped me to flip my hair up like Cinderella did. I looked in the mirror and laughed. It was so pathetic, yet so much fun!
Sophie had chosen, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and Nate had to be Prince Phillip, which made me laugh when he walked out in his tight Prince outfit with Zac, who looked equally as funny. Danny's outfit looked funny as well, but Vanessa looked pretty as Snow White, as did Sophie.
But nothing could top the other three. Tom shuffled out of the changing room, Danny pinning his wings on as he walked. The dress came up to his knees, showing off his legs. He had a wand and a pointy hat and his dress was a purplish colour with a pinkish bow around his neck.
'Why couldn't I have been evil? It's so much cooler. Hey, I could've been the mirror out of Snow White,' he said longingly.
'Yeah, they don't stock mirrors,' Danny laughed, pushing him out into the middle of us.
'Where's the other two?' I asked.
'They're coming,' Tom grumbled, straightening his hat and tugging his dress down lower.
'What're they dressed as?' Sophie asked, standing on her toes to see over Tom's head. She suddenly burst out laughing.
'Tom, move!' Vanessa exclaimed, pushing him sideways.
Dougie and Harry were walking arm in arm out of the change rooms. They'd chosen Aladdin and Jasmine. And looked hilarious.
Dougie had a long black wig on with turquoise pieces tied in it and a turquoise outfit; exactly like Jasmine's (including the half-top and the baggy pants, showing off his tummy). Harry had the white pants with the little hat and purple vest as well (that didn't do up, much to our delight!).
'These pants are bloody awesome! So much room!' Dougie exclaimed, doing a twirl in front of us.
'Now you just need Abu,' Tom laughed.
'Awwww! I want a pet monkey!' Harry exclaimed sadly.
'And I want a genie, but that's not happening!' Dougie exclaimed and everyone laughed.
'You look like one,' Sophie laughed and he struck a pose.
'At least I don't look as much as a poof as you three!' Harry exclaimed, motioning to Danny, Zac and Nate in their tight outfits.
'We all look like poofs, is that agreed?' Tom sighed and the boys nodded and laughed.
'We're not, I feel awesome,' Sophie giggled, spinning around, her blue dress billowing around her. Vanessa giggled and joined in, her yellow and blue dress fluttering around her as well. I joined in, then realised I didn't have my special shoes. I quickly walked over to the counter.
A boy popped up from underneath the counter. 'Wow, nice costume,' he grinned, looking me up and down. He was around my age.
'Thanks, do you have the shoes?' I asked.
'What's your size?' he asked. I told him and he came back with a transparent pair of heels that looked like glass, but were actually plastic.
'Thanks,' I smiled, slipping them on.
'No problem... do your friends need anything? Snow White, does she?' he asked hopefully.
'I'll send her over,' I grinned, heading back over. 'Vanessa, Shopkeeper Boy wants to know if you need anything,' I whispered.
She glanced up at him. 'Ooh, hell yeah I need something,' she said flirtily, taking her dress by the sides and gliding over to him.
'Come on, we better head back,' Tom said, hitting Danny on the shoulder with his wand. It made a whirring sound and a loud chiming noise. 'Ooh! Cool as!' he exclaimed, hitting Danny with it again. And again. And again.
'You do realise that hurts?!' Danny exclaimed, ducking as Tom tried hitting him again.
'Why haven't you turned into a frog yet?' Tom frowned, hitting him again.
'Because it's not magical!' Danny said desperately, running for the door, his too-big boots sliding around on his feet.
'Little Boy Big-Boots,' Dougie said, erupting into laughter. 'That's his new name!' he choked out, still laughing as we collected our other pyjamas and headed back onto the bus and back to the venue, Tom still trying unsuccessfully to turn Danny into a frog.
'This will probably be your last trip in the bus,' Harry said casually, flicking the tassel on his hat.
'You're serious?' Sophie gasped and Harry nodded sadly.
'No!' Sophie exclaimed, running and diving into Dougie's bunk and sliding the curtains shut.
'You forgot your crown!' Danny exclaimed, picking it up and using one of the points as a weapon against Tom.
'I'm not leaving! I love this bus!' she exclaimed from the bunk.
'I know! Me too! Can you build us our own one?' Vanessa asked, looking miserably around.
'Yeah, that'd be cool as!' I exclaimed and the boys laughed.
'We'll see what we can do,' Tom smiled.
'Sophie, you coming out of there or do I have to come and get you?' Nate called.
'Come and get me!' Sophie teased. Nate went to get up but the Fairy Godmother put a hand on his shoulder.
'Uh uh Nateyboy, I ain't letting you in there together.'
'Well Fairy Boy, if you're a Fairy Godmother I get three wishes. One, I wish for you to let me go. Two, I wish for you to let me see Sophie in the bunk. Three, I wish for you to allow us to close the curtains. Done,' Nate said brightly, jumping up and diving into the bunk with Sophie before Tom could stop him.
'Why my bunk? Why?' Dougie moaned as Nate and Sophie giggled. I blocked everything out as I looked around the bus. It started setting in. We'd probably never see it again. We'd never be travelling in it again. I sighed and leaned onto Zac, who put an arm around me, kissing the top of my head.
'Tom, why'd you make me leave Shop Keeper Boy? He was hot,' Vanessa whined.
'You already have your Prince Charming, Snow White and you're looking at other men?' Danny gasped, putting his hands to his mouth.
'No, I'm sorry Danny. You're my Prince Charming,' she smiled and he laughed and put his arms around her.
'My dress itches,' Tom moaned.
'I can't breathe in this outfit!' Danny wheezed.
'I quite like my pants. I think I'll buy my own pair,' Dougie said, a grin on his face, twisting so the pants floated around his legs as he turned. He almost fell as the bus came to a stop at the stage door of the venue.
'We're gonna get laughed at all day,' Harry moaned as he stood up and ambled out of the bus.
'Zac, Nate? Can I have a word to you when we get off?' Tom asked and Zac nodded beside me as he helped me up. 'Hear me Nate?' he called and Nate stuck his thumb out of the curtains.

When we made it inside, Tom and the two boys went into the dressing room while we were made to parade our outfits for the entire crew along the stage, which they thought was very amusing. Vanessa walked over to a guitar sitting on the side of the stage.
'Rock Princess!' she exclaimed, pretending to play and rock out to an imaginary song. I took a guitar and joined in while Sophie bashed on Harry's drums, singing a self-written song at the top of her lungs over the top of it. As we rocked out, Dougie turned to Harry.
'If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay, I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way,' he sang, doing dirty moves as he danced around Harry, still singing I'm a genie in a bottle baby, gotta rub me the right way as he shimmied around him, Danny on the floor laughing at them. Harry began to dance back to Dougie, starting to sing A Whole New World at the top of his lungs and pretending to glide around on a magic carpet, before the two ended in a passionate embrace, sobbing into each other's shoulders, the other four of us trying not to wet ourselves with laughter.
Zac, Nate and Tom came out of the dressing room, just as Dougie and Harry glided off the stage and disappeared into the wings.
'Should I be worried?' he asked as he climbed on stage, flashing most of the crew his boxers as his dress came up above his stomach.
'It's Dougie and Harry. Shouldn't we always be worried?' Danny choked, still laughing at them.
Tom shrugged 'Good point.' He looked up at the two boys. 'Zac and Nate have got something they want to do for Lucie and Sophie as another Christmas present.'
Sophie and I looked at each other as Zac and Nate went backstage and came back with two acoustics. Tom led us to two seats facing two other ones at the top of the stage where we usually sang from.
'We dedicate this to you two, merry Christmas,' Zac smiled as he strummed his guitar. 'Ready Nate?'
'As I'll ever be,' Nate smiled.
'1, 2, 1,2,3,4
Give me more loving than I've ever had,
Make it all better when I'm feeling sad
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad, I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy, it's easy as 1,2,1,2,3,4
There's only 1 thing
2 do
3 words
4 you
I love you
There's only 1 way
2 Say
Those 3 Words
And that's what I'll do
I love you...
They played the whole song, from start to finish by themselves with no prompts from Tom or any of the boys.
I love you they sang together for the last line, looking up at us as they finished. Cheers and applause came from behind us, the crew whistling and cheering for them. Sophie and my expressions were exactly the same. Tears streaming down our faces, feeling amazing and sad they had to leave. For two boys who barely played guitar and didn't really sing, they did incredibly.
'How was it?' Zac asked awkwardly, looking straight at me.
'Incredible,' I whispered, standing up at the same time he did. I threw my arms around him, crying into his jacket.
'Was I that bad?' he whispered, lifting my chin up to him.
'No way. You were amazing. Thank you Zac, that's the best present I've gotten,' I murmured, standing on my toes to kiss him. He pulled away and looked at me.
'My Prince Charming,' I whispered and he laughed and leaned in again, lifting me up as he did so.
----
I don't know how long it lasted, and it only stopped because Zac couldn't hold me up the same way any longer. I smiled at him and he smiled back. The whole crew and McFly had gone to get ready for lunch. The whole morning had gone so fast. And needless to say, the afternoon and night was going to go just as fast.
-
When Zac and I made it into the room for lunch, everyone was already getting their food. A whole Christmas lunch had been set out on three huge tables pushed up together. With the amount of food there they could've fed a whole army and still had food left over.
'Wow! Someone's outdone themselves!' Zac exclaimed as he took a plate and joined the line behind Tony.
'Catering is amazing,' I smiled as I put chicken, turkey and other stuff on my plate before heading to the long table that fitted every single member of the crew on it. I slid in between Dougie and Zac, who had already begun eating.
'What's for dinner if this is lunch?' Zac asked Dougie across me with his mouth full.
'I think we're having dessert,' Dougie laughed, gravy dripping off his fork and onto his puffy pants. 'Oh no!' he gasped, grabbing my napkin and dabbing at it frantically. 'Aladdin!' he shouted desperately, still trying to get it off.
'Yes Jasmine?' Harry called from down the other end of the table.
'We have a problem!' Dougie exclaimed. Harry looked from me to Zac to Ryan, their physio who was on the other side of Dougie. We shrugged and Harry sighed and pushed his chair out and walked down to Dougie.
'What's the matter?' he asked. Dougie pointed to the tiny mark on his pants.
'Dougie, that's nothing,' Harry laughed.
'Who's Dougie?' he asked innocently.
'Oh sorry Jasmine,' Harry said quickly and Dougie nodded. 'Why'd you want me anyway?'
'Because I missed you,' Dougie said, pouting.
'Aw, I'm sorry,' Harry cooed, hugging Dougie around the shoulders.
'So you should be,' Dougie replied, shovelling some more food into his mouth.
'No wonder you got it on yourself... I'm gonna buy you a bib as a Christmas present,' Harry sighed, shaking his head as he walked back to his seat. Dougie shrugged at him and continued to eat messily.
'Dougie, you just got food on me!' Ryan shrieked, trying to get it off and shuffling away from Dougie on his chair.
'Sorry,' Dougie replied, his mouth still full of food.
'Dougie, do we have to sit you on the kids table in the corner?' Tommy called down the table.
'No!' Dougie called back, this time accidentally spitting food over Zac and me.
'Dougie!' I shrieked as Zac brushed it off.
'Dougie? Are you annoying people?' Fletch called.
'Noooooo!' Dougie replied. One of the wardrobe ladies across from Zac and I started giggling as Dougie began to play with his food, pretending he was a bulldozer and moving it all around his plate. Before we knew it, the beer he was drinking was knocked and spilled all over the table, the floor and all over Ryan's lap. Dougie burst out laughing, spraying us with the food in his mouth.
'Dougie!!' our part of the table screeched, Ryan and me the loudest.
'Dougie, here now!' Tommy shouted. Dougie stood up, giving Ryan and me an apologetic pat on the back before going over to Tommy, who made him sit in the corner on his own with his food. Harry went and sat next to him, feeding him his food.
'Sometimes I swear he is younger than you five,' Ryan whispered, using a bunch of napkins to clean up his lap. I giggled and took a sip of the lemonade sitting in front of me.
'You know what? I don't think, after these five weeks we've ever been fully introduced,' Ryan said, putting his knife and fork down and turning to me.
'I don't think we have,' I smiled.
'Well, I'm Ryan. You probably already know that I'm physio?' he asked, holding out his hand. I nodded.
'I'm Lucie,' I smiled, shaking his hand.
'Lovely to meet you...properly,' Ryan laughed, turning back to his food.
'I love you,' Zac whispered, putting an arm over my shoulder. I smiled and poked his nose. He laughed and went back to eating. I looked down the table to see where the others were. Sophie and Nate were sitting with Tom and across from them were Danny and Vanessa, all of whom were giggling at something. I followed their gaze to the corner where Dougie and Harry had decided to start doing somersaults along the wall and before long they had half the crew joining in too.
----
After our enormous lunch was over and all the crackers had been pulled and the whole group of people were wearing the colourful paper hats and giggling at the ridiculously stupid jokes on them, it was back to business like usual. All the unneeded things began to be packed up, some of the stage beginning to get dismantled and the dressing rooms getting tided. We all sat around for a while, chatting, trying not to let it sink in even further that everyone was going home tomorrow.
Tom had decided to hold a guitar lesson with Danny as Harry wanted to try out his new guitar. As the rest of them worked on the Five Colours riff with Danny, Tom slid over next to me.
'Getting it?' he asked and I nodded.
'Great,' he smiled. 'Play it for me.'
I turned pink. 'No, I can't play it that good,' I replied, looking down at the floor.
'Lucie,' he said firmly, 'don't you remember what we wrote? You've been with us for five weeks. Come on sweet, play it. Do you really think I'll laugh at you?'
I shrugged and kept looking down.
'Come on, play it,' Tom smiled comfortingly.
I started playing and stuffed up halfway through.
'Try it like this, it'll make it easier,' Tom said, demonstrating on his guitar. I copied what he played and got it right.
'Good job,' he grinned, giving me a high-five. I grinned back at him.
He smiled as he watched me. 'You know who Danny and Dougie think you look like, right?'
I nodded. 'Ashley Tisdale?'
He nodded too. 'I don't think so.'
'You don't?' I asked and he shook his head.
'You're familiar with the actress Grace Kelly right?' he asked and I nodded again.
'That's who you look like,' he grinned.
'Really? But she's stunning... nothing like me,' I said quietly.
'That's the whole point. She is stunning. And so are you,' he shrugged, putting an arm around my shoulders and squeezing me close to him.
'Thanks Tom,' I whispered.
'No problem,' he murmured. 'Now, how's that riff coming along?'
I smiled up at him and played it again.
