Taylor woke us at 3 am this morning. "Why are you waking us up so early?" We sleepily ask Taylor, "I have concerts that I preform in Australia tonight." Taylor replied to us. Me and Elijah got up and got dressed. While we were getting dressed, I could hear Taylor start making breakfast. We exited our bedroom and sat at the kitchen island for breakfast. Taylor made Pancakes with ham for breakfast. After we had breakfast, we all brushed our teeth and entered Taylor's SUV, which was repaired yesterday.

Taylor told me and Elijah about Australia, and that the reason we were leaving so early is because Australia is around 12 hours ahead of us. By 5 am, we're on the plane and have taken off into the sky. We keep company by playing games with Taylor. We played some Super Smash Bros together, and Taylor was kicking ass. "How are you so good at this?" Elijah asked Taylor, "I have impressive hand-eye coordinate." Taylor simply replied.

After we played Super Smash Bros, Taylor got out her computer and began working on a song that she had started making. Lover has 13 tracks ready, and Taylor is aiming for 16 - 18 tracks on Lover. After fifteen minutes, Taylor plays the demo of the song, "It's amazing." I praise, "It's only the demo, the next time I'm in the studio with Jack I'll work on it with him." Taylor replied. Me and Elijah played some of our songs to Taylor, hoping to get her thoughts.
"You guys are so talented!! Once I sign with my new label I'll see if they will sign you both as well." Taylor said to us. Just the thought of that was mind-blowing. I looked out the window and saw a bunch of fluffy white clouds. I took a photo of it because I thought it looked cool.

"I just thought of an idea, what if me and you do a duet?" Taylor said to me, my jaw dropped. "You mean a duet in the studio, for one of your albums?" I asked Taylor, "That's exactly what I mean." Taylor confirmed. I couldn't believe it.  "I'd love to do a duet with you." I told Taylor, who smiled joyfully at me.

Taylor told us that there were nine hours until we landed. Elijah started reading the first book in the Lord Of The Rings triology. Me and Taylor started playing Uno. Of course we both started the game with thirteen cards. The game was intense since as soon as someone would put down multiple cards the other would make them pick up cards. Me and Taylor played seven games of Uno before we started playing Monopoly. I knew that I was at a disadvantage to play against Taylor, I mean she has like $400 million.

I chose the hat to be my piece, and Taylor's choice was the boot. Long story short, Taylor won. Though to my credit it was a close game. "I won!" Taylor exclaimed, before doing an awkward victory dance. I laughed at her awkward dancing.

"Is Harry going to be there?" I teasingly asked Taylor, "He is going to be there." She replied. "Oh, I was teasing you." I tell her, "Well you're right, and Harry will be there." She replies. Then she asks Elijah if he wants to play her in Monopoly. Elijah foolishly accepts Taylor's challenge.

After an hour, Taylor won the game. Elijah posed a big challenge, but like usual, Taylor overcame the challenge. I noticed that there were six hours left until we wound arrive in Australia. Me and Elijah started to edit some of our demos, adding drums, or piano chords, or tweaking the guitar chords. We continuously worked on our demos for two hours, then we played them to Taylor one more time.

Taylor praised our production, and also recommended that we should work on our demos with Jack the next time Taylor was in the studio with him. I started to feel hungry so Taylor asked the flight attendant for a sandwich, which she gave to me. After the hunger subsided, I felt tired so I drifted off to sleep.

Three hours after falling asleep I woke up. "How was your nap?" Taylor asked me, "It was good, and I had very pleasant dreams." I told her, "What were the dreams? If you don't mind me asking." Taylor said, "I dreamt of the song that we'll record together, me releasing my first album, and you going on a huge tour." I told Taylor. We continued to talk until we descended and landed in Australia.

We all exited the plane, grabbed our luggage, and quickly entered a waiting black SUV. The SUV drove us to our hotel, and once we arrived at the hotel we grabbed our bags, entered the hotel, and made our way to our hotel room.

We got settled and Taylor made us an early dinner. For dinner, Taylor made steak with salad and mashed potatoes. We all enjoyed the delicious meal, and conversed with each other. "Can you guys get prepared, we have to be at the stadium in an hour. That way we won't be rushing and we can have some time before the concert.

Me and Elijah prepared ourselves and changed in to jeans and nice shirts. We then returned to a waiting Taylor. We exited our hotel room and got in Taylor's black SUV. On the drive, I thought about the bond me and Elijah shared, and how lucky I am to have him as my brother and Taylor Swift as my adoptive mother.

We arrived at the stadium and entered Taylor's dressing room. Taylor began preparing for the concert. We talked to her about the concert. Despite this not being our first concert that we've seen at the Reputation Stadium Tour, every concert is just as amazing as the first.

We go to our V.I.P seats and sure enough, Harry is here. "Hi Harry." Me and Elijah greet him, "Hi Astrid and Elijah. I know that it's only been like two weeks but I already have missed you both and Taylor." Harry replied. We got situated and waited until the concert began.
