D- "Ok, ok, ok. Run that back one more time." Treasure started laughing at me over the Skype call on my computer.
T- "I feel like my arms are about to fall off. Haven't you heard it enough?" She has the most thickest Australia accent I have ever heard. I started laughing at her remark. I adjusted myself from my sitting position to laying down on the couch. I'm staring at my writing notebook trying to come up with lyrics for a song.
D- "I'm sorry Treasure but I need the creative juices flowing and you playing that beat on the drums is helping."
T- "Maybe if you were to come down here in person, we could jam." I immediately sat up and turned myself to face my laptop.
D- "I did finally get a ticket to come down there soo.." she started squealing over the call.
T- "One way or round trip?"
D- "One way, it was cheaper considering I'm spending the whole summer down there."
T- "I can't wait!! You will finally get to meet some of my mates and my family in person." I have met Treasure's parents and her little brother over Skype before. She also has met my mom over Skype too.
D- "I think I'm going to pack like two weeks worth of clothes and just buy more when I need them."
T- "Smart. Plus I can show the latest Aussie fashion trends." She did a stupid little pose and we both started giggling.
D- "I should start packing, I'm leaving in a couple of days."
T- "June 1st?"
D- "Yup June 1st is when I will be down there."
T- "Yay! Don't forget to pack your guitar."
D- "Ok Treasure." We both said our goodbyes to each other then I shut my laptop and started packing.June 1st
My plane finally landed in Sydney's Airport. I went to luggage claim to grab my bags before heading out to the main area. When I reached the main area I was looking for Treasure. I finally found her holding up a sign that says Dylan with some flowers around my name. I ran over to her and gave her the biggest hug possible. She helped me carry some of my bags out to her car. Treasure lives in a small house in Sydney. Two bedrooms, one bath, one half bath, a tiny living room and tiny kitchen. The backyard wasn't that bad, it was right up against a beach. It was such a beautiful view. Treasure gave me a quick tour of her house and then showed me the bedroom I was going to be staying in all summer.
T- "You can decorate it anyway you want." She gave me a smile. I flopped down onto my new bed in my new home. "I'm going to give you time to settle in. I can give you my tour of Sydney tomorrow if you would like." With that she closed the door leaving my room. I crashed. I fell asleep because of the time difference and jet lag. I woke up the next morning....well the next night. I picked up my phone to check the time and it read 10:00pm. I got up to change my clothes into something more comfortable. An oversized band tee and some shorts. I looked at my window to see a figure sitting down at the beach, I'm pretty sure it's Treasure.
D- "Treasure!" No response. I walked out of my room and out of the back door. I walked through her backyard to the beach. "Treasure." She turned her head back to see me. I took a seat right next to her on the sand.
T- "You're finally up sleepyhead." She laughed a little. "How did you sleep?"
D- "Not too bad, I feel well rested."
T- "Well you should, you slept through a whole day!" I put my head on her shoulder and let it rest there.
D- "What are you doing out here anyways?"
T- "Look." She pointed out to the towards the ocean. It looked so pretty. Bioluminescent.D- "Woah..."
T- "I know."
D- "I have never seen them in person before." I was awestruck.
T- "That's because you lived in Nebraska and now Colorado."
D- "Yea but I have been to California and Texas before. I have never seen anything like this." We sat there in silence staring at the ocean for a couple more minutes. When we finally went inside, Treasure cooked me some food to eat. It was fucking amazing.
T- "Oi, I was thinking we go eat breakfast at my parents house tomorrow then I can take you to downtown Sydney."
D- "That sounds like fun." After we got done in the kitchen, we said our goodnights to each other and went to bed.June 3rd
T- "Wake up Dylly!"(pronounced like dilly) She started shaking me to get me to get up out of my warm, comfortable bed.
D- "Whyyyy?" I rolled over in my bed to face her.
T- "Unless you want to see my family in pajamas, get up." She ripped the blankets off of me and left my room. I got up out of my bed shivering a little. I put on a cropped white tank top, ripped black jeans, and my black converse high tops. "All right, you ready mate?"
D- "Yes." We went through the back door leaving her house. There is a sidewalk down at the bottom of the hill right before the beach, separating the grass and the sand. It was a five minute walk to her parents house.
E- "You're late." We were walking through their back door when Eden, Treasure's little brother, gave me a big hug. Of course I hugged him back.
D- "It's so nice to finally meet you in person, little buddy."
E- "I was so excited when Treasure told me my partner in crime was coming to Australia." I giggled a little at his remark.
T- "No, they are my partner in crime not yours, doofus."
E- "Noooo, they are—"
D- "WOAH! Both of you stop. I'm Eden's partner in crime and Treasure's bandmate in crime." They both were pretty satisfied with my answer. After that Eden led the way to the kitchen where Austin and Genesis Murray were cooking.
G- "Ahh look who made it in from the states." She walked out around the breakfast bar to give me a hug and a big kiss on my forehead. Mr. Murray looked up from what he was cooking and gave me a smile.
A- "Welcome to our home Dylan. I hope it isn't too messy. I told Eden to clean up."
D- "It looks great and the food smells even better." He served us our food and we all sat at the round table that was near a giant window. The window had an amazing view of the beach. After we got done eating we all sat there and talked for a while. At 3pm we were downtown walking around with shopping bags in our hands when a poster caught my eye. "Who are they?" I pointed to the poster. Treasure stopped in her tracks and started walking to where I was.
T- "Oi, Chase Atlantic. They are a local band. My mates are going to see them, wanna go?" I look back at the poster and it read that they were playing on June 9th.
D- "Sure, why not."
