[13]

Victoria's phone beeped loudly at 8:30. "ughhhhhh" she groaned. She sat up, her head pounding. She shook Ethan's arm. He groaned even louder.
"Che ora é?"
"8:30. We need to get ready, andiamo." said Victoria, getting up. Ethan following her, going into the bathroom rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"BUONGIORNO!" she screamed,waking damiano and Thomas up abruptly.
"buongiorno Ms. Victoria." said Damiano, getting up. Thomas stayed laying there.
"Thomas, Alzari. ora." said Damiano, going into the bathroom to take a shower.
Thomas eventually got up.
"hungover?" Chuckled Vic.
"you have no idea." said Thomas in response.
They all had showers, did their makeup and got dressed.
It was then 9:30. The band had to go to their first interview at 10am.

📍Interview #1
The band got to the location 10 minutes earlier. This was an important but unsuspecting interview. It was with the press from all over the world. They didn't have a clue waht they'd answer, so they needed to stay on their toes. They arrived at their dressing room with little time. They got a few makeup touches but didn't need anything drastic. Putting their personal belongings in the room next to their bags, the hosts brought them to their seats in front of the interviewers.
"Okay, everyone we'll start with a basic introduction" started the cameraman. "so when I count you in, just introduce yourself, your part in the band and band name!"
Victoria smiled and nodded, even though she and the guys knew what they were supposed to do. After all they've been to XFactor, sanremo and hundreds of other interviews in Italy. But, she let him do his job stating the obvious.
" 3...2...1...ACTION."
"heyo this is måneskin! I'm Victoria"
"I'm damiano, the singer."
"Ethan, the drummer."
"And I'm Thomas the guitarist."
"We'll just get straight into the questions then!" said the host, pointing to one of the members of press.
"My question is for Damiano, you have been singing for quite a while now. Do you believe you are at your best now?" asked a French interviewer.
"Well, I think I'm improving everyday and singing isn't really something you can lose so, no. I still have a long way to go but I'm very happy with my voice at the moment. Thank you."
Another interviewer stood up. She sounded Spanish. "My question is for Victoria." Victoria smiled, waiting for her to ask the question. "paparazzi in both Italy and Rotterdam have seen you and the rest of måneskin with another girl. Is she a romantic figure and if so, did you only meet her recently?"
Victoria chuckled nervously and looked to the guys. Help screaming from her eyes.
"well..." started damiano, trying to protect her.
"no, no." she started. "yes, that is my new girlfriend, Y/N. She came to Italy on vacation from Ireland and we met and all of us invited her to Eurovision. And I'm hoping she will not be mad at me for telling you this." laughed Victoria.
The interview moved along swiftly, no more personal questions and that was it. They said thank you and goodbye to the press and went backstage to the dressing room.
Victoria called Y/N.
"Ciao Vic, how did the interview go?"
"hi, it went good but they asked me about you."
"what?"
"uhh yeah they asked if we were romantic and when did we meet. But I kept it quite simple. Please don't be mad."
"No, no I'm not it's perfectly fine, okay? It's almost nicer that everyone knows."
"okay. Thank you. I've got to go. Dress rehearsal next. Talk later?"
"Sì, Sì Arrivederci."
"Bye."

They then took a taxi to the arena. It was raining. They entered the arena. To great them stood Niki. Widely known as Nikitutorials, Vic was Fangirling. It was the first time meeting her but they had an interview with her later.
"Hello! Ciao!" exclaimed Niki, her arms open in her amazing dress.
"Hi!" said the boys.
"OH. MY. GOD. HI!" screamed Victoria.
"apologies for Vic. She watches your videos. All. The. Time." laughed Thomas, rolling his eyes. Niki laughed. "well, I hope I taught you those smokey eyes. Your makeup is outstanding! Yours too guys."
"Grazie! Grazie!" they said in unisin.
"okay, well we'll talk more later. Right that way and go backstage."
They all thanked Niki and walked to the front of the stage and then was escorted to their dressing rooms, which had their outfits hanging on a railing in front of a big mirror. They roady walked them to the stage where they expected to run their song more than once. Israel were on the stage. They were impressive. The visuals were amazing. The tech crew approved and Israel walked off stage. Måneskin we called on.
They ran zitti e buoni twice and then had to wait backstage for another hour. They ran the award ceremony. They had to rehearse getting the trophy for all thirty nine countries. It was tedious and Thomas was almost falling asleep every second. But, at 1:00pm, they were out but had another two interviews. The first with Niki in her room in the arena. And then a Dutch radio station in the city centre.

📍Interview with Niki.
"hello guys! Its Niki and in here with the Italian representatives, Måneskin! It is so good to have you guys here. How are you?"
"we're good, thank you. You look beautiful by the way, Niki." said Ethan.
"Why thank you, Ethan. How are you guys coping with the nerves and excitement that comes with this competition?"
"well, I think we are just here to have fun and have the experience of a lifetime. But we are nervous all the same. Except Ethan, that is." said Victoria, looking back at Ethan over her shoulder.
"Ethan! Are you not nervous?"
"Ethan torchio is never nervous!" laughed Damiano.
"Well, I'm sure you will do amazingly. I was so impressed by your guys' song. But finally, I must ask you. Who are you giving your twelve points to this year?"
The four looked at each other. They nodded and said "Finland!" all together.
"Wow! Yes their song is also amazing. Fun fact is that they actually gave their twelve points to you guys!"
"well thats amazing." said Thomas.
"Yes. Well that is all the time we have for today unfortunately. But best of luck to you in the competition tomorrow and I hope to see you soon." said Niki.
They all thanked and hugged her and left to get a taxi back to the city centre for the next interview at 2:00pm.

"In the taxi now, going back to the centre for the second interview. We should be free for an hour and half at 3:30? Text you when we're done xx
-Vic."
"Perfect. See you soon."

📍Interview #3
The interview went great, the basic questions about the competition, how they prepared etc. They were done by 3.20."

Vic called Y/N.
"hey, we're just done."
"oh cool, everything go okay?"
"yeah perfect. We're just outside the station, where are you?"
"I'm literally down the street. I think I passed a pizza place if you guys are hungry?"
"Ugh Sì. We're starving. Meet you there?"
"yep, see you then."
