The girls had been busking on their signature sidewalk steps for two and a half weeks now, and hopefully, with finishing up today's gig, they should have enough, and more, for a better hotel to stay.

They congratulated eachother as the crowd began dispersing, picking up whispers as the viewers discussed what they thought of them. And from what they heard, they were great! Jess brought up the guitar case and they all helped to separate the money into coordinated piles.

/I'm not going to tell you how much they got, instead, I'm going to let you work it out for yourself. See, you're getting involved! Don't worry, I won't make it to hard. I'm not good at maths myself.\

Add all of these together: (Or the answer is when the story continues)

£20 X 6
+£10 X 13
+£5 X 22
+£2 X 67
+£1 X 233
+50p X 546
+20p X 389
+10p X 1076
+5p X 915
+2 X 1348
+1p X 2937

Good luck!!

"Wow! £56775!! That'd get us all around the world like three times!!" Jess exclaimed.

"Bit overboard there Jess." Kezza informed her. "But still, it is a lot of dosh."

"Wonga!!" Alicia shouted. Everyone turned to look at her. Alicia simply stared back at them, just a...teensy bit embarrassed and replied. "Well, you only live once."

With that the girls nodded their heads and mumbled in agreement whilst packing up their instruments. Of course with the first round of money they had got, they had decided to up their equipment which meant that they could perform better.

Shona had nabbed herself a beautiful ice-blue and white bass guitar which she then decorated with her signature and a dark blue and grey stormy sky pic.

Kezza had treated herself to a set of sparkly, crimson red drums. And her drumsticks had her signature carved into them.

Alicia had bought an amazing black and white guitar with green strings and a neon green pic with an A carved in gold.

Sophie had found a fancier yet still portable mixing desk. And the possibilites of mixes and beats were endless.

Jamie had got her hands on a magnificent keyboard with over a hundred settings, each one different to the other but still just as amazing.

Sabrina had then found a passion for lighting systems and stage decorations. And so she'd bought herself some coloured lights and lasers to flash around as well as a small smoke machine. But she didn't use it without the council's permission. And the crowds and audiences seemed to love the lights and the effects they bring, especially on the night.

Jess had decided to stick with her acoustic. Of course there was nothing wrong with it and had served her well. But she had taken the advantage of neon black, green and blue pic, with her signature carved into it on the back in gold.

Once they had packed up, they headed back to 'the down under' which was literally down under. But this time they were joyful about it. Because today, they were moving out. Finally going off to find that better hotel they had dreamed about.

They burst through the door and literally threw their stuff into their cases. This was now a lot of stuff. There was no way they could wander around Sydney with all this crap! So they did the only rational thing they could think of...they called a taxi. Despite Jess' fears of the Cabbie's after watching 'Sherlock: A study in pink'. (Seriously guys...don't trust the Cabbie's!)

"So, where are you lovely ladies off to then?"

"Could you take us to the finest hotel you know please?" Shona asked bravely, despite the disturbing comment.

(I'm sorry guys I just really don't like Cabbie's. No offence to anyone who
is one or knows one).

Jess simply sank back as far as she could, sitting in the very back corner seat clutching her sheep plush.

The girls had decided to buy eachother a plush without them knowing about it, so that they could all remember this incredible journey when it ended.

Jess had a sheep, hence her last name being Barr. (Go ahead, laugh, I dare you.)

Shona had been given a Shrek, hence her last name, Myers, in tribute to Michael Myers.

The girls couldn't decide whether to give Kezza a Lizard or a Giraffe. In the end, they decided on a lizard.

Jamie had been given...(Yes you've guessed my real life friends (as nobody else will get this)) a snail.

Sophie had been given number one from the number jacks, so that it could relate to *shudders* 1D.

Sabrina had a boots the monkey for some, strange reason.

And of course Alicia had the number 5 from the number jacks to relate to 5sos.

"You know, there's this really fancy hotel that I know. It's got all sorts, room service, endless and timeless buffet, indoor pool. This place is the kind you'd probably only see in films. And there's another band staying there as well, just like you lot. Bit there's only four of them, and they're all lads. Their band name has something to do with summer I think. I don't really know, I'm not into that sort of music. I prefer stuff like Elvis Presley and Elton John, even though he did a song with that falling band or something or other, told you I'm not good at this. Now then, back to Elvis, when he..."

And so the cabbie droned on...and on...and on...and, you guessed it...on! But the girls we're paying any attention. He couldn't possibly mean 5 seconds of summer could he?...Nah. Can't be. But still...there's always that chance.

Eventually they reached a grand hotel. And grand it was. Magnificent even. It had white outer walls with gold columns, obviously painted but still. And inside was just...it was indescribable. It was beautiful wherever you looked. The girls had checked in as soon as they waved the money in front of the receptionist's face. But of course they had to split up and share rooms. Shona and Kezza bunked with Sabrina. Whilst Jess, Sophie, Alicia and Jamie shared another, Jess not having a problem with, literally, sleeping in the bathtub. I mean, it was a huge bathtub. And with three layers of quilts and five pillows, it was heaven in a bathtub.

The girls had decided, after unpacking their things, to have a wander around their new new temporary home. After discovering the pool and the cafe the girls followed the maps on the walls to the common room, where all the guests came to hang around and mingle.

Upon reaching there, there was hardly anybody else. Just an old couple reading, a mum and a dad watching their kids playing with the toys and the backs of four heads peeking over the couch as they watched the telly. But...one of them...that blue/blonde hair. It was so recognisable. Shona couldn't help that spark of hope growing in her chested so she called out.

"Michael?"

Oh. Their. Gods. He turned around. It...it was him. It was Michael fucking Gordon fucking Clifford. And that's not it. The other head then also poked around. First Calum. Then Luke. And Jess almost choked on air when Ashton turned around. Her friends had shown her pictures of him but...wow! She never expected him to be....him! Michael smiled and called back.

"Hey girls! Small world eh?"

Girls...Calum your Ash.
