Time: 12:30 pm.
Setting: Orlando International Airport.
Luke: (staring at his plane ticket, frowning) I still can't believe I'm letting you do this.
Aleisha: (rolls eyes) Chill out. You can pay me back when we get back. (cheeky) I charge twenty percent interest, by the way.
Luke: (scoffs) In your dreams.
Aleisha: (laughs, quiet) Have you spoken to either of them, then?
Luke: Not to Troye.
Aleisha: To Ashton?
Luke: He's not answering my calls. (sighs) He hates me.
Alex: (behind Luke, next to Michael) I'm considering joining the club.
Luke: (turns, small smile that doesn't reach his eyes) Nice to see you, too. (to Michael) Hey, Mikey.
Michael: (smiles, gives him a light hug) Just here to see you off. I got a shift real soon so I'll leave you to it. (pats his back, whispers in his ear) You'll be okay, mate.
Luke: (nods, pulls away) I'll see you when I get back.
Michael: (grins) You better. Be safe. (turns and leaves)
Luke: (sighs, to Alex) I've messed up, yeah?
Alex: Royally. (sighs, holds arms out) I'll keep watch over your baby kangaroo.
Luke: (hugs him) Koala, you idiot. They're two completely different animals.
Alex: (lets go) Start with 'k'. I failed geography.
Luke: I don't see how that relates.
Alex: Me neither. (snorts) I'm just spouting shit to mask the urge to either strangle you or tie you to American soil. It's going to be a long week without you.
Luke: (nods) I know. I just need a break from it all.
Alex: (claps a hand on Luke's shoulder, firm) You take as long as you need. Figure things out. I'll hold the fort down. Make sure Calum doesn't try to bomb your room out of spite.
Luke: (serious) You need to watch Ashton for me, okay?
Alex: He's not a dog, bro.
Luke: I'm serious. I don't want him doing anything crazy.
Alex: (nods in understanding) Alright. I'll keep an eye on him.
Aleisha: We gotta go now.
Luke: (nods, to Alex) Bye, mate.
Alex: (smiles, kiss him on the cheek) Have a safe flight.
QOTD: What will Luke find in Australia? How will Ashton cope without Luke?
