In This Together- Tokio Hotel☆ (2005)

Good ol' times

(3:43 am)

Tom can't seem to fall asleep, it's not like he doesn't want to, it's just one of those nights when he can't sleep for no reason. He is already bored of tossing and turning in his bed all night, so he gets up quietly to not wake up the others and goes to the living room. Tom looks at the electric guitar that Elise made for him and smiles. He picks it up and looks at it carefully, he promised that he won't break this one.
He now remembers the times he used to play on shows. He knows that he probably won't be able to experience that feeling ever again. Even if him and the band still haven't given up on music, it's still hard for them.

Bill hasn't been able to write any songs since the incident, anytime he tries he ends up with a stomachache from all the anxiety. He now has a bad case of writer's block. If he isn't able to write anything then the rest can't do anything either.

Tom still decides to pick up his guitar. He takes a deep breath and slowly starts playing it. He doesn't know what he is doing exactly, he just plays whatever comes in his mind until it sounds about right. He keeps doing this for a while until he hears some footsteps from the hallway. He stops playing his guitar and remains quiet as he looks around. As he does so, he sees a dark figure walking by and gets scared. He now tries to sit completely still.

Turns out that the dark figure was just Bill, he enters the living room and turns on the light as he looks at his brother.
Tom gets a bit startled but then calms down.

Tom: "Bill? Wha-what are you doing here??"

Bill: "What do you think?" He says as his stomach growls. "I can't sleep on an empty stomach so I went to get something to eat... Why are you here tho?"

Tom: "I just couldn't sleep, that's all."

Bill: "Understandable..." He replies as he goes to the kitchen to grab a snack and then comes back. "What's up with the guitar?" He asks with his mouth full.

Tom looks down at his guitar.

Tom: "Oh, nothing. Just practicing something..."

Bill: "Practicing huh? Do you mind showing me?" He says as he takes another bite of the donut.

Tom: "It's not ready... But this is what I've came up with by now!" He states as he starts to play the guitar.

The melody starts off slow but then turns a bit more aggressive at a faster pace. Tom seems to really enjoy playing the guitar after so long.
Bill watches his twin, intrigued. He likes what Tom has came up with and is obviously interested.
Now the melody stops and Tom breathes heavily as he looks at Bill.

Tom: "How was that?"

Bill: "I... I love it!!" He exclaims with a smile on his face. "That was a true rollercoaster of emotions, I don't even know how to explain!"

Tom's eyes lighten up as he listens to Bill's words. A wide smile appears on his face.

Tom: "Thank you so much! I truly loved working on this..."

Bill suddenly gets hit by a wave of inspiration.

Bill: "You know, I think it would sound better with some lyrics!!" He says as he gets up with the donut in his mouth to search for a piece of paper. As soon as he finds one he starts writing some lyrics on it. "I'll inform you when I'm done!" He says as he takes another bite out of the donut.

(7:56 am)

Gustav, Elise and Georg are already up and come to the living room after brushing their teeth. They see Tom and Bill asleep on the couch, as they were working on the new song for the rest of the night. Elise looks at them, smiling.

Georg: "They're still asleep huh?" He says as he scratches his back.

Elise: "Let them be, they probably had a rough night..." He replies as he looks at the crumbled papers and the snacks on the ground while smiling.

...

On the other side...

(4th September 2005 Munich, Germany. Currently 4:07 am)

Albert has finished packing his things. He took almost everything that he had with him, including money, clothes and food. He knows well that the band must be in a tough situation right now, so he made sure he brought enough for them and for himself too as he doesn't know what he's about to face.
After checking everything Albert is now sure he can leave. But he stops to get a piece of paper, he leaves a note for his uncle saying: "Dear Rodrick, I know you're looking for me right now. So I just wanted to say that I'm going on a mission, not telling you what it's about. All I can say is that I have no idea when I'll be back. And I hope I never get to see your stupid face again. Sincerely, from Albert."
Albert leaves the note on the table as he grabs his suitcase and looks at his apartment one last time before he turns off the lights and leaves. He is now heading to the police station to get some more information about the boys' surroundings.
Albert sits down at the table with one of the officers.

Officer: "What is your problem, sir?" She asks nicely.

Albert: "*sighs* I need to find these boys." He says as he shows her a picture of Tokio Hotel. "Here are some other pictures."

The officer looks at the pictures that Albert gave her.

Officer: "So you're saying that you're also searching for Tokio Hotel? They've been missing for quite a while..."

Albert: "I don't care, I need to find them, sooner or later! Please... Just send other officers to find them or something... I'm begging you!"

Officer: "*sighs* This process will take a pretty long time, as no information about their current location has been given to the authority."

Albert: "They have to be somewhere in the country! I saw Tom Kaulitz like, a week a go!"

The officer now looks intrigued at him as he mentions that.

Officer: "Where exactly did you see him? Do you mind giving us more information?"

Albert: "Well, I remember it was really late, probably 10 pm, and as I was walking on the street I saw him looking at the window of a TV store. I talked to him a little, he told me that he was starving so I took him to a restaurant. On the way there he told me that he had a big fight with the other guys and he ran away. After eating I let him go free as I didn't want to stress him very much..."

Officer: "So you saw him here, in Munich?"

Albert nods.

Officer: "Weird... The boys disappeared when they were performing in Berlin, now you find Tom here?"

Albert: "I know, I know it's weird but I swear I'm not lying!"

The officer looks at Albert, it's obvious that the guy is telling the truth. She decides to call other officers to start an investigation around Germany.

Officer: "Okay sir, the investigation will start today at 7 am."

Albert: "Thank you so much, miss!" He says with a smile.

After a while Albert leaves the police station and starts searching for Tokio Hotel himself.
