Chapter Two: Meeting McFly

Dougie, Danny, Harry, Tom, and Fletch were waiting near Terminal #9 at Heathrow Airport on Thursday night. They were all getting a bit restless when Iconic Nonsense + Hannah walked through the gate.

"Hello Fletch," Hannah said, extending her hand. "Hannah Lewis. It's nice to finally meet you."

Fletch shook her hand with a smile. "It's nice to finally meet you as well. These are the boys; Tom, Harry, Danny, and Dougie."

"Ah, these are my girls; Carolyn, Oceana, Kathy, and Emily," Hannah said. "Alright, girls. You'll be staying with the boys on the bus tonight, so you can get properly acquainted."

"Yes. Don't worry, we've already got your luggage on the bus. Oh! And all eight bunks are in one room, so you'll have to sort that out when you get on," Fletch explained.

The girls eyed the boys warily, and the boys did the same. Then, they walked outside and boarded the bus.

~*~*~*~TIME~*~*~*~

After about a half hour of awkward, near-silent discussion, all the young musicians had been assigned bunks in the Bunk Room. Once they were all in their jim-jams, they met in the "living room" with their instruments to discuss music. (There was only one drumkit since Kathy's was still packed.)

LilB was the one to break the silence. "Well, we know a few of your songs..."

"Okay, well, that's a start," Tom said, absentmindedly strumming his guitar. "Do you lot know... uhmm... '5 Colours in her Hair'?"

"Of course," Kathy smiled at Tom, causing him to blush profusely. "It all depends, though, on how you want us to sing it."

"Well, which of you can sing the highest?" Danny asked. Kathy raised her hand. "Alright, then. You can sing with Tom. Emily can sing with me, and Oceana can sing with Dougie."

"Coolio," Oceana said. "But, do we have to do it tonight? Kathy's asleep over there."

Everyone looked over at where Kathy was sitting, only to find her asleep against Harry's side.

"Oh wow," Harry said. "I didn't even notice that."

Carolyn smiled. "She jet-lags very easily."

"Oh, that's fine," Tom set down his guitar and walked over to the sleeping girl, whom he gently lifted into his arms.

"You got her, T-Bone?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, no worries," Tom said. He carried her into the Bunk Room, where he carefully laid her down on his bunk. No way in Hell would he attempt to lift her up onto her bunk; he could potentially kill her that way. He walked back out into the "living room."

"How about we hit the sack, mate?" Danny suggested. "I mean, we have 3 weeks to sort out this music stuff before the tour starts."

"Good idea, Dan," he replied. "Alright, let's get some rest."

As everyone was settling down into their bunks, and Tom was debating where to sleep, Kathy woke up.

"Why am I down here?" she asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

Oceana looked down at her. "Well, you fell asleep out there, and Tom carried you in here. He was kind enough to sacrifice his bunk to you."

"Aww, Tom, that's so sweet," Kathy said, still completely out of it. She stood up and pecked him on the cheek before climbing up into her bunk, cozying up under the covers, and falling back asleep.

"Uhmm, what just happened?" Dougie asked.

"Kathy gets very... odd when she's tired," LilB replied. "She probably won't even remember that tomorrow."

~*~*~*~TIME~*~*~*~

Oceana woke up at four the next morning. Only Kathy was awake (as usual), and she was reading a book with a flashlight. She had her headphones in, so Oceana crept past her unnoticed.

She grabbed her acoustic guitar and sat down on the couch.

"When I was young and I saw

My Daddy cry, and curse at the wind..."

As she was playing/singing, Danny woke up and heard her. He walked out, and she looked up to see him.

"Hey," Oceana said with a smile. "Good morning."

"Good morning," he replied, picking up his own guitar and sitting down beside her. "You wanna teach me that song?"

She nodded. "Sure."

~*~*~*~TIME~*~*~*~

At 6 AM, LilB had just finished a new song, and she wanted to sing it for someone. But, the problem was that none of her usual critics (the girls) were awake. So, she had to resort to more drastic measures. She looked around the room to see Dougie beginning to wake up.

"Psst! Dougie!" she whispered.

He looked around, confused for a moment, before seeing her. "Oh, good morning. Did you need something?"

"Yes, actually!" LilB said. "If I sing a song, will you give me your opinion on it?"

Dougie immediately brightened. "Sure! One second." He hopped down from his bunk and walked over to sit next to her. "Okay, I'm ready."

She pulled up her guitar and began to strum.

"'Help me out,' said the

Minnow to the Trout...

'I was lost and found

Myself swimmin' in your mouth.'

Whoa-Whoa

'Help me Chief, I got plans

For You and Me...

I swear upon this riverbed

I'll help you feel young again'..."

She continued to sing happily, and Dougie listened intently. He really liked her voice; it was sweet and full of a meaning that he could not describe. When she finished, she looked over at him.

"So," she said. "What did you think?"

Dougie thought for a moment. "It was really deep and meaningful. And the guitar part was really melodic. Overall... I loved it."

LilB grinned. "Yay! I'm glad."

"Well, thanks for asking," he replied.

~*~*~*~TIME~*~*~*~

Tom and Harry were making breakfast for everyone. Kathy walked out of the Bunk Room, carrying her book and smiling widely.

"Good morning!" she said in a sing-song voice.

Harry looked around. "Hello, Kathy. Would you like some eggs and bacon?"

"I'll take some eggs, but no bacon please," Kathy replied, sitting down at the table. "I don't eat meat."

Tom turned around as well, shocked. "How can you not eat meat?"

"I can't digest it properly," she shrugged.

"That's really odd," Tom said.

"You're really odd," Kathy retorted.

Eventually, everyone made their way to the table, and sat down to eat.

"Yummy bacon," Carolyn said. "Kathy, you're seriously missing out."

Kathy stuck out her tongue at Carolyn before continuing to eat her scrambled eggs. Oceana and Danny were talking about the song they had been working on that morning, while Dougie and LilB were having a staring contest WHILE eating.

Things were going well.
