Piers was stressed. He was going to Alola for a concert again and knew how much trouble Team Skull could be. They weren't just wild fans like Team Yell, but performed petty crimes around the region.

He packed his music stand and microphone away in this suitcase and made his way to Galar's Wyndon Airport, saying a quick goodbye to Marnie as he exited the house. He hummed the lyrics to his latest song over and over until he made his way into Hammerlocke, which was when he called a Flying Taxi to take him to Wyndon. The Cabbie tried to strike up a conversation but Piers was having none of it.

The Cabbie eventually made it to the airport and Piers paid the fee, heading inside the airport. He went to the international terminal and checked his luggage in, waiting for the plane to arrive at the gate. He started to feel homesick after a while, so went to a coffee shop near the gates and ordered a black coffee. He sat down and waited for his coffee to arrive, glaring down forlornly at his phone.

There was a murmuring chatter surrounding Piers, so he drank his coffee in one gulp and headed back to the gate to wait for the plane. On his way back to the gate, he heard the voice of an old friend of his. Actually, if he recalled it correctly, they were more than friends.

Piers and Felix were in a long distance relationship, and the other male was heading back to Alola to see some of his old friends and check up on him. Piers wanted to have a chat with him. Check up on him, so to speak. He wondered how life had been for the other male. Had he been having fun out in Galar? Why didn't he stop by Spikemuth to say hello?

He frowned as Felix approached him, the expression not changing when the seat next to him was filled by Felix. The young male tried to tap Piers on the shoulder to grab his attention, but to no avail. Piers seemed to ignore him entirely.

"The plane for Alola has boarded, please head to the boarding gate if you haven't done so already."

Piers got up and waited in the queue to board, Felix right behind him. As they walked on the plane, Felix managed to catch the rockstar's attention.

"Piers, how are you going? I'm sorry I haven't come by in a while," Felix apologised, giving Piers a sideways glance.

"Don't want to talk about it..." he muttered under his breath.

"You're heading to Alola, right?" Felix tried to strike up conversation with him.

Piers just nodded and kept walking.

"Well, I hope we meet up over there," Felix said and began to walk to his seat.

"Wait... Felix!" Piers called out.

"What is it, Spiked Mouth?" he asked.

"I love you...!" Piers told him.

"Love you too, ya big dork."
