They got out of bed not long after their talk, and Brad followed her downstairs, and tried to help her make breakfast. Tried being the operative word.

He attempted a fancy flip on the pancake, and it just sailed over her head, making her cackle as she started scooping it up from the floor. He was initially embarrassed, but it didn't last long as she went to 'show him how to do it properly' with the next one, and did exactly the same. Then it was his turn to laugh as she pouted and stomped over, picking it up and chucking it away. They decided to flip the next one using a spatula.

They had a decent stack of edible pancakes ready for when the guys came down, and Luka grabbed loads of toppings for them. Bananas, syrup, berries, whipped cream, chocolate spread, lemon and sugar. Tris went for the cream, and as he went to press the nozzle, it slipped and sprayed over Luka.

"Oh shit." Tris said, his eyes going wide as the others gasped. "Shit Luka I-"

"You little fucker." She squealed, grabbing the whipped cream from him and pointing it at him.

"NO!" He yelled, standing up and running away, knocking his chair over as he went. The guys laughed as Luka chased him round the kitchen, the squeals and cheers from them getting louder. She jumped on Tris' back, piggyback style, one arm wrapping around his neck and the other lifting the cream ready to spray. Then Tris skidded round the corner and fell to the floor, elegantly enough to not hurt himself or Luka, but suddenly enough that the boys stood up ready to help.

"Defeat! I CONCEDE!" Tris laughed as he rolled onto his back, Luka was laying on top of him, and spraying the whipped cream all over him. "STOP!"

"NEVER!" Luka shouted playfully, waving the can about until it started hissing. "DAMN IT!" She threw it to the side. "I think I win though." She smiled, looking down at his whipped cream covered face.

Tris wiped it out of his eyes and glared at her.

"You think?!" He half-shouted, before thudding his head back to the floor and laughing as she climbed off him. She grabbed his hand, helping him up and they sat back down at the island as James took another pancake.

"Got any whipped cream?" James asked, as innocently as he could muster. Luka snickered, and then Tris got some cream off his nose and wiped it on top of James' pancake.

"There you go mate." Tris smiled, before taking a bite of his own.

They finished breakfast in very good spirits, and Tris helped her clean up. Brad watched them slapping each other with tea towels at one point, and he just laughed.

Soon enough, they were all sat in the music room opposite the lounge, putting their brand new album into the computer, getting ready to hear it all the way through for the first time.

Luka had to prompt Connor a few times to press play, just because of how nervous they all were. They listened to it all the way through first. They were silent for the first few songs, then they started air-drumming, air-bassing, air-guitaring, and singing along. The album was seamless. The songs were in the right order. It was almost exactly how they wanted it to sound. There were a couple of production points that Brad noted on the first listen but other than that, it was good. It was really good. And they had done it all, on time, thanks to Luka.

She stood to leave after the whole album had been played, and she went about her day. She spoke to Joe about the tour, did some self-care (i.e. a proper shower), and checked the schedule, noting the times for shooting their first music video at the weekend. Then she cleaned up around the house, not because the guys did a bad job, but because she liked to do it a certain way and just had to double check, and checked social media if anything bad had come from their house party, but there was nothing. She delivered the boys food and drinks every few hours, and was pleased to see them all huddled around the computer, discussing the songs in depth, and dutifully writing down notes to bring up to Rex about things they wanted to clean up. Luka had already scheduled tomorrow in the studio in anticipation so that they could rectify any mistakes.
