When we are finally in the air the seat belt signs go off and the air hostess comes over to us. "Evening, can I take your dinner orders?" She asks and we all quickly scan over the menus. "Can I get a steak?" Samuel says and I nod. "Oh, can I have the prawn salad?" I ask and she nods. "I'll have the chicken maryland." Damian says and Lindsay looks up. "Can I have a lobster?" She asks and giggles. We all drop our menus and look at her. "What? I wanna try it!" We laugh and the hostess nods. "And for breakfast?" She asks and we nod. "Just toast." Samuel asks and I nod. "Can I have a fruit salad?" I ask and she nods. "Oh, make that two." Lindsay says and Damian looks up. "I'll have some toast just too please." He says and we thank her before she walks away.

We sit looking out the window and start taking pictures of each other. "I wanna post these now." Damian says and a girl from another set of four turns around to us. "Oh, you can, there is wifi in here." She says and I nod. I turn back around but do a double take. "Sierra Kusterbeck?" I breathe out and Samuel look at me. "Huh?" He asks and I shrug.

Another hostess comes with our food and they set a steak in front of me before leaving. "You ordered the prawn salad?" Samuel says and I nod. "I have it!" I turn back around to the Sierra Kusterbeck look alike and we both get up to swap plates. "Thanks." I say annd she smiles. "No problem Nicola." She says and nods. We set our plates down and before sitting down and I see a guy sitting beside her. "Uhm, is that Blake?" I ask and she nods. "Yeah." I wave and he waves back. "Nerd." Lindsay whispers and Sierra puts out her hand. "Sierra Kusterbeck." I smile. "Nicola McDowney." I say and she smiles. "Nice to meet you." She says and I nod. Damian coughs and raises his eyebrows. "Sorry. This is Lindsay Pearce, Samuel Larsen and Damian McGinty." I say and she waves. "Hey guys." They smile and say hi back. "Well, i'm starving, so i'm gonna eat." I nod. "Nice meeting you Sierra." I say and laugh.

I sit down and lift one of the prawns off my plate. I eat it and smile. "Mmm." I say and laugh. "Good?" Samuel asks and I nod and lift one to his mouth. "Here." He looks at it. "I have steak!" I nod. "Well think of it as surf n turf." He nods. "Weird irish food." He says and opens his mouth for me to put the prawn in. I hear a click and we look over at Damian who takes a picture of us before continuing to eat. "Good prawn." He says and I nod. I look at Lindsay who is jjust staring at her lobster. "What's wrong?" I ask and she looks up. "I don't know how to get the meat out." She says and I laugh. Damian lifts her knife and stabs it, making us all jump because of the noise. She starts cutting it and thanks him.

When we finish eating, our plates are taken away and we relax in our seats.

After a while I get a text on my phone and look at Samuel.

FROM: Samuel
I want to get my guitar out.

I smile. "I think you should." I say and he nods. He leans down and opens a compartment and grabs his guitar. "Sweet." Blake says and he smiles. "Thanks." He says and he starts playing with it.

We hear another guitar and I turn around and Blake has his out. The pair of them sit messing around and Sierra stands up and looks at me. "Toxic?" She asks and I almost faint. Sam looks at me and nods. "Go for it." Lindsay takes out her phone and starts recording. "You ready Sam?" Blake says and gets up. He gulps and I smile. "Go for it." I say and wink.

We get up and the guys start playing. I breath deep and she starts singing, I harmony and it sounds awesome. "Wow." She says when its over and I smile. Some people clap and others scowl. Lindsay rests her head on Damian's shoulder and we sit in with Sierra and Blake who have folded their table down. We smile and all take photos. "Since when are you guys playing in Ireland?" I ask and they smile. "We have a few private shows." I nod and just sit talking.


"Well guys, it's been fun making music with you and talking, but i'm going to sleep." Blake says and I nod. "Yeah, night guys." We say and get back up and I move so that Samuel can get in. We sit down and the other two are sitting giggling. "What's up guys?" I ask and they shrug. "Jager." I stare at them. "What?" Samuel asks and he shows us the video.

"Usually boyfriend's wait until they are in a serious relationship with a girl before they meet her parents, yet Samuel is currently on a plane with Nicola, Damian, Lindsay and Sierra and Blake from VersaEmerge, getting ready to meet her parents in the morning. Have a good rest guys and we'll hear from you soon."

We laugh and all recline our chairs. "Night guys." Lindsay says while pulling the mask over her eyes, copied by Damian and I look at Samuel. We turn around to each other in our seats and I sit playing with his fingers. "You ready to go home?" He asks and I shrug. "I'm not as nervous as I was." I say and he nods. "I'm even getting nervous now." I laugh. "They're gonna love you." I say and he smiles. "I wish." I smile. "I have to go and visit my friend at the rehab centre on wednesday, I want to go alone." He nods. "You sure." I nod. "Yep." He smiles. "No probs." He says with a smile and holds my hand. We pull the masks down with our other hands and drift to sleep.


We wake up to hear people moving around us. I pull up my mask and Damian and Samuel are talking to Blake while Sierra is talking to someone else accross from us. "Morning sleepy head." She says and I smile. "Morning." I say and grab a hair brush. I fix my hair and go towards the bathroom with Sierra. We walk in and fix our make up and adjust her hair feather. I smile and fix my eyeshadow. "I'll be back in a second." I nod. "Ok." I say and she walks out while Lindsay walks in to go to the toilet. "Breakfast will be ready in half an hour." I nod. "Ok." I say while Sierra walks back in. "Come here." She says and I walk over to her. She pulls at my hair and I look at her. I hear a click and she smiles. "What did you do?" I ask and she smiles. "Look." I go over to the mirror and look at my hair. "Thanks!" I say and smile- she gave me one of her hair feathers. Lindsay smiles and we take pictures in the mirror


1 Hour Later.

We sit talking and chatting with Sierra and Blake.

A bell rings and the pilot comes over the inter com.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, If you would like to look out of your windows, we are currently flying over the english channel, and you will be able to make out a green shape on your left." He says and we all look out the windows and I can feel tears welling up already.

"Now, we will start descending and we will be at Belfast International within 45 minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts and keep them fastened until we land. Thank you." He says and I look at Samuel he smiles. "I can't wait!" He says and claps his hands. I smile and Lindsay laughs. "Oh my god, we are actually here!" Lindsay says and we watch as the plane dips through the air. I smile and when we are about to hit the runway I look at Samuel. "Brace yourself." I say and he shrugs. "What for?" I laugh. "Runway." Lindsay says and the plane bounces of the runway. "What the F-" I put my hand to Samuel's mouth. "Calm down!" I say and he shrugs my hand away. "We are just landing." I say and we hit the ground again and keep going forward. He holds my hand while looking slightly scared and when the plane stops, the pilot starts talking again.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for flying with us, I would also like you all to thank your cabin crew." We clap and they smile. "We have now arrived at Belfast Internation airport, county derry, Northern Ireland, local time: 2pm. Enjoy your stay and I hope to be seeing you all again soon." We clap and start getting things ready to get off the plane. We take pictures and exchange numbers with Blake and Sierra- yes, VERSAEMERGE HAS MY MOBILE NUMBER!
