I wake up to the sound of the fridge door opening. I look over and see Shawn digging in the fridge. I stretch, then stand up and walk over to the kitchen in my hotel room. Ally and Camila are still asleep.

"Good morning." I smile.

"I'm so sorry, did I wake you?" Shawn asks, worriedly.

"No... I mean yes... I mean it's fine." I giggle, and he raises an eyebrow at me. "I'm sorry, but it's 9:07 in the morning, cut me some slack!" I playfully slap him on the arm.

"I'm just teasing you." He giggles.

"How'd you get in here?" I ask curiously.
 
 
 
"Oh, Camila gave me a key since you guys have all the food."
 
 
 
He continues to search for something. "What are you trying to find, anyways?"

"The toaster."

"You're looking in the fridge for the toaster?" I raise an eyebrow.

"It's 9:07 in the morning! Cut me some slack!" He says, imitating me.

"That's really your best impression of me?" I smirk.

"Um, yeah. I mean, no." He tries to keep a straight face but ends up laughing.

"You're something else, Mendes."

✦

Kate has just announced that we will be going to the airport to go to Cologne, Germany in an hour. The concert is still awhile away, but I'm excited.

In just an 8 hour plane ride, I will be on the other side of the world. Scary.

I pick up my phone. "Hey Siri,"

"How may I help you?" Siri asks.

"Call Mama Bear."
 

"Calling Mama Bear..."

"Hey sweet pea, what's up?" she asks, excitedly. "Oh yeah! How was the first show?"

"Mom, it was amazing. It was everything I could've ever asked for." I'm beaming just thinking back to it. "The lights, the stage, it's all so surreal. So much different than singing in front of my camera lens." I laugh.

"I'm glad you had a great time! Now I'm so sorry but I have to run or I'm gonna be late for work."

"Not a problem! We're leaving for Germany soon anyways."

"Wow, have fun! Bye, sweet pea, I love you."

"I love you too, Mom." I hang up the phone.

✦

"What seat are you on the plane?" Shawn asks when we're about to board.

"28A, how about you?" I ask enthusiastically.

"28B." he smiles.
 
 
 
"Ayy, looks like we're sitting together."
 
 
 
"Yeah, this'll be fun."

"Last call for boarding the Cologne flight!" the attendant says.

"I think that's our cue!" Camila says.

We all board the plane, and I already assessed that Shawn and I are sitting together, but the rest of the girls and Shawn's crew are sitting close to us as well.

I pull out my phone and start playing my favourite game at the moment, color switch.

"Oh I love that game!" brown eyes look over at me happily.

"Do you want to play?" I ask and he nods. "Okay, how about this. First to get a score of 30 gets to go out for lunch, and the other person buys."

"Deal." he smirks. "But I'm gonna crush you." he says as he cracks his knuckles, trying to sound intimidating.

"I'll admit it's cute when you try to sound intimidating, but let's jump straight into reality, I'm gonna win." I say, as sassily as I possibly can.

"Game on! Ladies first."

"Oh now you're being a gentleman? I see how it is." I laugh as I click the play button on my screen.

I get a score of 2. Nowhere even close.

"You're gonna win? Yeah right, I can do better than that."

"Oh, shut up!" I playfully slap him on the arm. "I'd like to see you try to beat me." I raise an eyebrow.

He ends up scoring 2 as well, and it keeps going back and forth just like this, us making stupid comebacks and completely failing.

Slowly but surely, our scores both start to get a little bit better, but still nowhere close to 30.

Shawn's playing, and he scores 29. "Oh beat that!" he practically screams. "That was so close."

"Shhhhh!" I giggle, "Don't get full of yourself, Mendes. I said the first person to 30 points wins."

"I know." he laughs.

Then the next time I play, I get a score of 34. "Ha! Beat that! I just won!" I say, bragging to him.

"Oh damn, guess I'm gonna have to buy you lunch now." He says, pretending to be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, but that was the deal, I won." I smile at him.

"You're never ever going to let this go, are you?"

"Nope!" I say, with a huge grin on my face.

✦

To say I feel jet lagged is a complete understatement. I've never been jet lagged before, but right now I feel absolutely miserable.

Cologne, Germany is 6 hours ahead of us, and since our flight was at 1:00 New York time, it was 5am when we got here. I couldn't sleep on the plane either, which didn't help.

"No offence, but you're not looking too good." Shawn laughs. We have just got to the hotel, and we are in the elevator going up to our rooms.

"You've looked better yourself." I roll my eyes playfully.

"Have you never been jet lagged before?" Camila asks.

"No, my first flight ever was the one to New York." I sigh. I just want to sleep.

"Oh, the joys of being on tour." Lauren adds.

When we get up to our floor of the hotel, I drag in my suitcase and collapse on the bed and almost immediately fall asleep.

✦

I am awoken by a rapid knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" I grumble.

"Emma it's 2pm. You've been asleep for almost 12 hours!"

"Mmm" I grumble again.

"Emma?" the voice says, "It's Dinah-Jane. Wake up or all of the food will be gone!"

At that, my eyes pop open and I run over to open the door. "Where's the food? I'm starving!"

The girls all laugh. "I knew that would get you up." Dinah-Jane says. "Come, the food's in our room."

The girls rooms are across the hall from mine, and Shawn's is directly beside. Kate and the rest of the team are in other places on this floor, fairly close as well.

I basically eat any food I see, including fruit, 2 sandwiches, and some other snacks.

"Wow, someone was hungry." Shawn says, "You feeling better?"

"Much." I say, "12 hours of sleep can do you a lot of good." We all laugh.

"Does anyone know what the plans are for the rest of the day?" Camila asks.

"I don't want to do anything really, let's just have a movie marathon." I suggest.

"Great idea, Em!" Camila says.

"I'm down for that." Shawn smiles, and the rest agree too.

"I have a bunch of movies on my laptop, I'll go get it." I walk out the door of their room and into mine.

I open the door with the room key, take my MacBook out of my bag and walk back over.

After our first movie, which was pitch perfect, we decide to order in a pizza. We get 3 boxes because we know we'll eat it all.

Once it gets here and Shawn brings it over to the bed, we all pile on top of each other to try and get it. it ends up being a big dogpile.

To be honest, I thought I would be an awkward antisocial potato and not make any friends on this tour. But I guess it's the exact opposite. I know that that I have made amazing new friends who will support me through anything that comes my way.
