[A/N - It's finally here! Oh my gosh, it took aaagggesss, I know, I know.

Hopefully you don't hate me for this.

It's awful, but I've used your suggestions for the shopping and pizza, and thanks to the others who commented other ideas.

I may use them in other chapters...who knows?

Video on the side of '1 pound fish'.

I prefer gangnam style, but if I used that in this chapter it would be annoying.

Guess what?
I GOT 1D TICKETS FOR 20TH APRIL LAST NIGHT ON SKYPE TO @IceIceDaley.

WOOOOO

And then today...Zayn's mum replied to my dm.

Anyway, comment/vote.

Hope you like this chapter (: xx

"Psst!"
A lady rifling through party costumes turned around in horror at the guy in a scary mask.
"Boo!" Louis whispered through the plastic mask.
I stifled a giggle as the lady whacked him with her handbag and tottered off.
She must have been in her mid-forties, but looked at least 50.
Louis pouted, "That arm is insured, you know!"
I laughed and we sneaked out the shop to the others who'd caught it on tape.
It turns out shopping could be a lot more fun when it turned into a big game of dares.
For the past few hours, since we woke up, we'd been wandering around
the large shopping centres in New York, completing some wacky dares.
Liam had to emerge from a public toilet and ask what year it was, Zayn
had to press his face up against a window, scaring an old man, and
Niall had to scream "pickles" in a library before resuming reading his
book.
Wearing disguises, of course.
I, on the other hand, had to run across a busy road screaming Eye of
the Tiger and then doing Gangnam Style on the other side.
Harry, Cara, El and Dani had to start a sing song in a lift, resulting
in a man around 30 cursing at them, and an older lady growling and
muttering something about 'kids these days'.

"Ah Louis, I think you did the best dare." I smiled at him and he smirked.
"Let's get some pizza." He patted my head fondly and we wrapped arms
around each other's waists as we met the others.

"How long are you here, Alex?" Cara asked, prodding her ice cream with
the spoon and swirling it around until it started to change shape into a vanilla mountain.
"About 5 more days?" He responded like it was a question, as though
he wasn't too sure himself.
"Why don't we go sightseeing, then? Or to the movies?" Rose piped in.
"I'd really like to see what there is here." Danielle added, and El and I agreed.
"Sure. For now, who's up for ice skating?" Liam checked.
The others broke out into a grin and I bit my lip anxiously; here goes nothing.

"I can't let go!" I complained, clutching onto the side of the rink for dear life as Zayn and Harry zoomed past.
Louis did a little spin and I gave him a rude gesture, "Show off!"
I watched as Eleanor and Dani linked with their boyfriends, and Niall skidded about.
Rose and Cara quickly grabbed both of my hands and spun me around, teaching me how to move my legs and glide across the slippery surface.
My hands were wrapped in fluffy gloves and I blew out puffs of cool air.
One by one, they both released my hands, and I realised I was in the middle of the rink on my own.
"Cara! Rose! Don't leave me here!" I moaned, crossing my arms and stamping my skates.
One leg slipped and the other followed suit.
I closed my eyes and waited for the icy embrace with the ground.
I reopened them and saw Niall grinning, "Careful there, love. We don't want broken bones."
I smiled and he pecked me on the cheek as I rose to my feet.
The others were hugging me and Cara and Rose apologised.
"It's fine." I smiled, showing them that I completely forgave them.

Alex took my cold hand in his warm one, "Let's try one skate round the rink, okay?"
I nodded, looking at his steel-grey eyes that were boring into mine.
"I'm gonna fall, Alex!" I grabbed onto his arm clumsily as I felt myself topple over a good ten minutes later.
We both lost our balance and I landed on top of him, "Ooof."
Alex laughed and I cautiously climbed off him, giving him a hand to help him up.
In a jiffy, Niall had his arms round my waist and whispered in my ear, "You okay, princess?"
I nodded and smiled at him.
Niall gave Alex a glare and Alex smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Liv, and you, Niall."
Niall nodded and I held onto both of their hands as we exited the rink.
I could still feel the tension -I could probably cut through it with a knife- but, when Alex went to hand over his ice boots to a pretty brunette with similar grey eyes, a tiny smile appeared on my boyfriend’s face.

**

After -finally- finishing our ice skating session I, with sore limbs and possibly blistered feet, was first to collapse into the shiny leather seats of the car.

We talked for a little while before Harry mentioned the brunette Alex exchanged numbers with.

I rubbed my hands together and blew hot air onto them in a poor attempt at warming them.

A smile appeared on the face of Rose’s boyfriend, and I knew what was coming by the way he looked at Alex, who was texting a certain mystery girl.
"Has Alex got a girlfriend?" Zayn teased.
Alex's cheeks turned a light pink, "No," he scoffed.
"So why did you get her number then?" Niall commented, making us all smirk.
Alex was put on the spot.
"Er..."
"Spit it out, you fancy her!" Cara blurted out, making Danielle laugh.
Alex combed his blonde hair with his fingers, "Maybe. She lives here, but she's British. Perhaps I'll see her back in England?"

"Maybe..." I added, not trying to get his hopes up too much; as mean as that sounds.


The car pulled up at the hotel and we saw the paparazzi outside.
Louis groaned, "Who told?"
We all looked around and our gaze fell on Liam.
He smiled innocently and Harry hit him on the head.
"Idiot."
The bodyguards weren't there, so I had to think of a distraction.
"Help me open the roof?" I asked Harry, pointing to the window on top of the car.
Harry nodded and murmured something to the driver who, at the push of a button, opened the panel.
"Thanks!" I said, unbuckling my seatbelt and pushing myself up so I could climb on top of the car.
Here goes nothing, "Come on ladies, come on ladies. One pound fish!"

[A/N - Changed the ending, I've had an idea :D It's not too much a difference, except from the fact that they won't be doing this party stuff.

Too predictable.

Something exciting on its way!!! xxxx Keep commenting]
