"Riiiiiiing!! Riiiiiing!!…"
"…hm… yeah, yeah…. I'm up!"
AJ picked up the phone.
"This better be important, if you had to wake me up at 6.30!! 'lo, who is it?"
"AJ!!! What are you still doing in bed! The bus will be there in 45 minutes!!"
"Hi mum… I know. That's why I were suppose to sleep another 30 minutes, but SOMEONE woke me up!"
"Alexander James McLean get up now!!! You can't expect me to think you'll be ready in only 15 minutes!"
"Wanna bet?"
"AJ!!!"
"Ok, ok!! Relax, I'll get up now… A lot to do now before the tour, huh?" AJ said laughing a bit at his mum.
"Yeah, tell me about it! I feel like I'm going in to pieces. I've been running around all morning making sure everything and everyONE are on the busses at seven. Well… I gotta go now sweetie. Gotta call and wake up my other 'sons'. And if I know them as well as I think I do, I bet I'll find them in the same situation as you."
AJ laughed a bit more, he knew his mum was right about that.
"Bye mum! CYA soon!"
"Bye!"
"Tell me again why we have to get going so EARLY in the morning." Nick asked no one in particular as he stumbled in to the bus. He was the last one to be picked up, and now they were on their way.
"We're suppose to get there before the fans." Kevin stated, half asleep by the tourbus table.
Nick got a weird look on his face.
"But hey! How early do they think the fans get there? We're like… two weeks early! …Hey Frick."
Brian had just climbed out from one of the bunks, giving up the idea to try to get some sleep.
"Hi Frack… Just to let you know, we're two weeks AND five days early… I've counted them."
"That's what I meant… but WHY?! Could someone fill me in."
"Haven't Denise told you?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah… I guess… but I've forgotten."
Howie who hadn't said anything yet spoke up.
"Um… let's see. I think it's cause the fans, as you said…. rehearsals, interviews… it's a lot now since it's the first concert of the tour. And there was something else…"
"The award show." AJ said as he stepped in to the kitchen part of the bus.
He had (like Brian) realized that it was impossible to get some sleep in this bus. Not when there were so much talking in the kitchen.
"Yeah. that's it!" Howie continued. "Thanks Bone!"
"Geez! Did someone die!" Denise stated when she came back from talking to the driver, referring to the expressions on their faces.
"What?!" all five of them looked at her.
"It doesn't hurt to look a BIT happy when you're going out on a tour."
Denise smiled.
"We're just soooo tired!" Nick complained.
"Why don't you get some sleep then?"
"Tried that already!" was Brian's answer.
"Impossible! Too much talking!" AJ continued.
"Do I have to figure out EVERYTHING for you?" Denise laughed. "If ALL of you go to sleep there won't be so much talking."
The guys looked at each other.
"Night!"
"G'night!"
"CYA later!"
"Good night!"
"I want one of the top bunks!"
They all said at the same time.
Denise just laughed at her boys.
Jasmine got to the hotel by two o'clock, and checked in.
"…um… let's see… room 827… that's on floor 8."
She took the elevator up to the right floor. She found her room not too far away from the elevator, locked up the door and went in.
"Oh, what a nice room…"
She put her suitcase on the bed and peeked in to the bathroom.
"Yey! A tub!" she smiled to herself, planning on taking a hot bath later.
She sat down on her bed.
"Now what?" she thought right before she yawned.
"…hm… I'm tired… I'll watch some TV and rest. Maybe some food first…"
She followed her own advice and ordered some room service, and sat in front of the TV for a while. It didn't take long before she was fast asleep exhausted from the trip.
