CHAPTER 20
Mike, Chester, Rob, Joe, Brad, Dave and I were working on a song for the new Linkin Park album. I was singing in one of their songs so my fellow band members were taking a break before tour. We went into the recording studio and recorded the song. We sounded amazing!
"Awesome!" Mike cheered.
I ran up and jumped onto a box. Then I did a backflip off it and cheered. I stood up normally and smiled. Chester looked impressed.
"Can't beat that can you?" I asked challengingly. "Nope." Chester said. "Are you ready for tour?" Joe asked. "Heck yes!" I cheered. "We aren't touring right now so we'll release the song." Chester told me. "Sweet." I said. "Hey! We have a tour to start off soon!" Ash shouted.
I turned around and gave him the dirtiest look possible. I said goodbye and left with Ash. We went to our hotel room and went to my friend, Lachlan's room. I knocked on the door and he answered. Lacy then joined him at the door.
"Hey. This is our last show in L.A and I was really hoping that you two would join Mike, Chester, Brad, Joe, Dave and Rob backstage." I told them. "Let's go." Lacy agreed. "Yes! Thankyou!" I cheered. "I do like your music." Lacy admitted.
I ran down the hall cheering and numerous people glared at me. I got to my room and got changed. I decided on wearing red jeans, a black Linkin Park shirt and red vans.

"One! Two! Three! PURPLE TREE MONKEYS!!!" Tyler, Noel and I shouted.
Ash walked out onto stage, Tyler and Noel played leap frog to get to their instruments and I ran to my microphone.
"Hey everyone! It's good to see you all." I said. "We are Silencing The Sirens." Tyler added. "Tyler, I think they know that." Noel pointed out. "Can I continue or are you guys just going to be idiots?" I asked jokingly. "Continue." Tyler instructed. "Tonight my friends from Linkin Park and I are releasing a new song. Tyler, Ash and Noel didn't know that until now. You know Linkin Park right?" I asked. "YES!!!" A chorus of voices shouted. "Well I'd like you to start cheering for the rest of Silencing The Sirens, who are going to stand around awkwardly or dance, and for my good friends and past band mates Mike, Chester, Rob, Joe, Dave and Brad!" I cheered.
Mike and Chester ran on with their microphones and everyone else took their positions. Brad, Joe, Dave and Rob started to play, Tyler and Noel started to dance and Ash stood around awkwardly.
"Ash! Dance!" I shouted. "Dance! Dance! Dance!" The crowd cheered.
We started singing the song and the crowd cheered. Halfway through the song I pulled Lachlan and Lacy out onto stage to dance with us. The song ended and Linkin Park as well as Lachan and Lacy left the stage.
"That's our new song!" I cheered. "Who were the couple that you pulled out on stage?" Ash asked. "Those were my friends Lachlan and Lacy." I answered. "TREES AND WAFFLES!" Tyler, Noel and I screamed at the same time.
The crowd erupted into laughter and we hi-fived each other. Tyler, Noel and Ash started playing and I started singing.
***
"Thanks for tonight Los Angeles. I'll make sure to come back here because tonights been amazing!" I said cheerfully. "Thank you for being such an amazing crowd!" Ash tried to shout.
We had the tech guys turn Ash's microphone off whenever he tried to speak. Ash came over to my microphone.
"Thank you for being an amazing crowd. My microphone's broken or something." Ash stated. "Ash, ypur mic's working perfectly. I don't know what you're talking about." Tyler said from Ash's microphone. "Well it must've been fixed." Ash said failing to make my microphone work. "You broke my microphone!" I shouted from Tyler's mic. "Nah, we're just joking with ya. We had the tech guys turn off your mic." Noel laughed.
Everyone started laughing and Ash stood there furious. I thanked the crowd and did a backflip. We then ran off stage, full of energy but tired at the same time.
"What the hell?" Ash asked furiously. "It was a joke. I wanted to pretend it wasn't working on your guitar solo and then drop spider onto your head but we knew you wouldn't take that well." I answered. "It wasn't funny." Ash said angrily. "Yes it was." Everyone disagreed. "Whatever." Ash sighed.

I was at the airport in Florida. I had flown my friends over. I had just been at a concert and was tired. They all came out looking tired. Lachlan, Serina and Georgia couldn't come so it was only Talia, Tori, Lauren, and Callum.
"Hey." I greeted. "Hey. Where are we staying?" Callum asked. "You'll see. I don't have a tour bus yet so don't worry." I joked. "Hey. I'm cool with sleeping in a tour bus." Talia said.
We got in a hummer I had rented and drove to the hotel I was staying at. I showed everyone to their rooms. I was excited for my day off.
***
We were now at Disney World. We were taking the train over. I had been here when I was seven and it was amazing!
"I'm so excited!" Tori told us. "Same." Talia agreed. "Disney World! WOOOO!!!" Callum cheered. "Shut up!" I hissed.
I looked down so no one would recognize me. I didn't particularly want to be mobbed on my day off...
"I don't think Izzy wants to be mobbed." Lauren said. "Oh yeah... sorry." Callum said. "It's fine." I sighed.
The train stopped and we got out. We all ran to the closest ride.
Most of the day was spent on the rides. We actually managed to go on all of them because we ran around like the crazy maniacs we are. At times Callum and I were like six year olds in a teenager's body.
***
Our day at Disney World yesterday had been fun. Tyler, Noel, Travis and I were now getting ready for the concert tonight. We were about to run onto stage.
"One. Two. Three. PURPLE TREE MONKEYS!!!" We shouted.
We ran onto stage and did our usual intro.
"Just before we start I want to invite some of my best friends onto stage. I haven't seen them in months because they all live in Australia. Come out on stage guys!" I called. "Who are these lovely people you ask?" Tyler said stupidly. "These are my friends Callum, Talia, Tori and Lauren." I introduced.
Everyone cheered even louder than before when I started singing. All of my friends jumped around and danced all night. It was probably my favorite concert yet. I couldn't wait to be back in Australia next month for the soundwave tour and then for my own tour.
***
I was at the airport watching my friends plane take off. I was going to miss them but I knew I would see them next month. I headed over to my plane so we could go to Texas...
