Steps One Shots (ish)

Not going out

This is kinda halfway to a follow up from the America chapter in terms of the fact this is what the five get up to when they're not allowed out. Plus it's set in America. Some swearing.

"I can't honestly believe you two are still going to get drunk after the last time." Claire announced when Faye invited her to come to the little party in her and Lisa's room they were planning.
"Well you don't have to come if you don't want to, but we thought it would be nice to at least invite you." Faye replied.
"No I want to come! It'll be nice for us all to do something together. I'm just concerned all three of you together and drinking won't end the best." Claire replied.
Faye smiled. "So we'll see you 8 ish then?" She asked. "And the three of us'll be fine cause you and Lee'll be there and if you're worried about us you can just tell us not to be stupid."
"Yeah true. I'll bring the bag of tapes we've got yeah?" Claire said.
"Nice." Faye said before smiling and going to find Lee.
Faye and Lisa had decided, while on their bus to the show the afternoon after their central park photoshoot, that they should all do something together as a group. They'd spent quite a while talking about what and the conclusion was they could have a cosy night in and then everyone would be happy with the plan. They hadn't fully decided exactly what they were going to do (watching films and playing games were the only ideas they'd had that didn't involve anything stupid happening), but that was normally part of the fun.

"Hi Faye." Lee called as he found her sat in the communal area in the hotel. He'd just got back from his daily run, and was sweaty and not exactly expecting to find anyone wanting to talk to him.
"Hi... ew no I don't want a hug!" She squealed, backing away from him a little.
"Faye I know you well enough by now to know you don't want a sweaty hug. Why are you here?" He replied.
"Lise, H, Clara and I are having a snuggly pajama night together in Lise and I's room if you want to join us. It won't be anything special, we're just going to watch movies, drink and eat sweets, but I think it would be nice for us all to spend time like a normal group of friends for once." Faye explained.
He nodded. "What time at your room? What room number are you?"
"I told Claire 8 ish so around then... just after? And urhm... 204... oh... no 402... no wait it is 204... eh I'll just check" She pulled her key out of her pocket and read the number. "Hey I was right to start with for once!"
"Alright. I'll be there. What time's dinner?"
Faye thought for a minute. "I think Tim said half six. He'll inevitably send someone to come find us."
With a glance at his watch Lee observed he only had 45 minuted and that he should probably go shower. The two of them headed back up to their rooms together.

"They're both coming." Faye announced, looking at Lisa before grabbing her shower stuff out of her bag.
"Oh yay! It'll be more fun with all of us!" Lisa replied as Faye grabbed her towel off the chair where she'd dumped it having taken it off the bed last night. "It'll be like family video nights I used to have at home."
Faye nodded, thinking about how her and her sister used to do something similar as teens. "I'm looking forward to it." She replied before going into the bathroom.

*****

When they got back to their room after dinner, Lisa and Faye had half an hour to get ready. All they both really needed to do was get into pyjamas and tidy up, but the latter took forever. They were renowned for having loads of stuff out all the time, and their room was always the messiest of the group's, which they argued was down to the fact they were sharing and the others all had their own space. Not that they would want it any other way, they both adored the company of the other and really couldn't imagine both having separate rooms on a tour. They knew each other well enough to know when the other wanted to be left alone, and they also knew when the other wanted nothing more than a massive hug. They were practically sisters, virtually twins in almost every way besides appearance, their birthdays were even super close together, Lisa was only 9 days older than Faye. And of the traits they shared both of them were, unfortunately, very messy humans. Soon though they'd bundled everything into their own respective bags, except the stuff they'd need for the evening, and then they were ready.
