Right Place, Right Time

Something Great

This is a bonus chapter to accompany Right Place, Right Time. Rather than being a continuation of the story or an excerpt from the forthcoming sequel, Right Now, it is a stand-alone piece in a different format. I've added it to RPRT because I am too lazy and inept to do a new cover.

Quite some time after Emma and Harry's encounter in the broom cupboard, One Direction give an interview to Sugarscape, in which Harry talks about how he and Emma met. Here is a transcript of that section of the interview. 

Liam has been talking about how he and Sophia, who are celebrating their anniversary, got together.

Interviewer: That's a very sweet story Liam.

Liam: The best story though is Harry's one about how he met Emma. That's just brilliant.

Niall: Yeah, it is. You've never talked about that in an interview before, have you Harry?

Harry: Not really.

Interviewer: I know it was something to do with her rescuing you from a tricky situation so you could get to a concert on time - we ran a story on it when it happened. But can you tell us the details now?

Louis: It's a bloody funny story.

Niall: Go on, Emma won't mind.

Harry: Um, it was Niall's fault really.

Niall: How was it my fault?

Harry: You were the one who wanted to buy stuff for Dave's party.

Niall: Oh yeah, I did. Dave, who is one of our lighting guys, was turning 40 and Harry suggested throwing a party for him, and I said we should buy some Star Wars decorations. He's big into Star Wars.

Harry: We were on the way to the venue to do a meet and greet with some sick kids before our show, and as we drove past a shopping centre, Niall suggested we went in and found a Pound Shop to buy some party stuff.

Niall: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Preston knew exactly where the Pound Shop was, we thought we would be in and out in just a few minutes.

Louis: Yeah, right.

Niall: Only it didn't quite turn out like that. We got mobbed.

Harry: Seriously mobbed. Hundreds of girls materialized out of nowhere and were grabbing our clothes. Then someone pulled my hair. We had to try to make a run for it.

Niall: I couldn't breathe and started having a panic attack. It was horrible.

Harry: Paddy was yelling at people to get out of the way so he could get Niall out and I somehow managed to get around the corner without anyone realising. I think it was because everyone was paying attention to what was happening with Niall. I thought Preston was behind me, but when I realised he wasn't it was too late to do anything. I saw a door and opened it, hoping it was a way out of the mall.

Interviewer: Was it?

Harry: No, it was a broom cupboard.

Interviewer: Seriously? A broom cupboard? Oh, that's why you mentioned a broom cupboard at the show when you sang to Emma.

Harry: Yep. I realised I'd dropped my phone and I stood in there for quite a while, trying to work out what to do. After a while, when the screaming outside died down a bit, I decided to have a look at what was going on outside, and when I opened the door, that's when I saw somebody going into another door across the corridor. So I followed them.
