In This Together- Tokio Hotel☆ (2006)

The strange situation..

(8th of January 1898, currently 2:18 am)

Bill has been tossing and turning for a while now, he can't seem to fall asleep for some reason.
His mind is filled with thoughts about Germany and his encounter with that strange man.

*In Bill's mind*: "That man... What did he want from me? Maybe he was just a creep anyways..."

He lays in his bed in silence, thinking if he should go and see Germany or just lay here and try to sleep.
After some time he decides to go, he can't sleep anyway so there's no need to try anymore, maybe the trip will exhaust him and he will sleep peacefully...

Bill goes to change and then leaves the bedroom quietly, making his way to the workshop.
He then grabs the device in his hands and takes in a deep breath before opening it.

Bill: "Here we go again with this..." He whispers as he opens the device.

(7th of January 2005. Nuremberg, Germany. Currently 22:34 pm)

Bill wakes up near some trees in a park. He puts the device in his pocket and looks around to make sure no one saw him, then he gets up and takes a better look at his surroundings. "The starry night sky looks majestic right now..." He thinks to himself with a faint smile as he reaches his hand a bit to the sky.
Suddenly he hears something from the bushes near him. He gets startled and looks at the bush in confusion. Could it be an animal?
Bill feels uneasy as the bush keeps shaking and making sounds. He backs away a bit.

Bill: "Hello?" He asks nervously.

Out of a sudden Albert appears out of the bush, covered in snow, who makes Bill gasp in panick.
Albert smiles and gets a bit closer to Bill.
He tries to get further away from him but he stumbles into another tree and doesn't know what to do.

Albert: "Shhh, don't get scared, okay? I'm unarmed right now..." He says in a calming tone.

Bill: "Wha-What do you want from me?!" He yells.

Albert: "I don't want to harm you, I just want to protect you!"

Bill: "Protect me...?" He asks a bit confused.

Albert: "*sighs* You better know what's going on..." He replies, then followed by a long silence.

Albert points to one of the benches from the park.

Albert: "How about we both sit there as I explain everything?"

Bill is still kinda suspicious about the man, but accepts his offer... in a way.

Bill: "You're... not gonna harass me, right?"

Albert: "No, I would never do that!... *sighs* Let's go..." He replies as he heads over to the bench.

They both sit on the cold bench, Bill is a bit anxious about the whole situation but stays positive and believes that he would be alright.
Albert takes in a deep breath and then speaks.

Albert: "So I think you know your band's situation by now, right?"

Bill nods.

Albert: "Well... I just wanted to say that you're not safe here..." He says with a serious expression.

Bill: "What do you mean by that...?"

Albert: "*sighs* My uncle... He wants you guys, and not for good..."

Bill: "Your uncle...? What does he want from us?" He asks intrigued.

Albert: "Ever since I met your brother you became his targets-"

Bill: "Wait wait wait... What do you mean by ever since you met my brother?"

Albert: "Oh, he hasn't told you yet?"

Bill: "Tell me what?!" He asks frustrated.

Albert: "On a September night I saw Tom back in Munich, he was walking around the streets all by himself. I talked a bit to him while he was looking at the news through the window of a tv store. He was famished so I offered him a meal, but he denied and ran away to a nearby park. He started crying uncontrollably on a bench..."

Bill listens with a worried expression, he has so many questions but wants to hear the whole story so he remains silent.

Albert: "I sat next to him and comforted him, he was crying because of the robot incident back in Berlin... Then I took him in my car and drove him to a restaurant since his stomach was grumbling. We enjoyed a nice meal and then I let him go, to not stress him too much..."

A wave of silence hits the two after Albert finished the story. Bill can't believe that a random man has made contact with Tom, he even teleported back to Germany in the middle of the night. He never told him a single thing about this... but why?

...

Albert looks at Bill with a comforting expression.

Albert: "Are you homesick?" He asks randomly.

Bill looks up at him, wondering why he asked that question out of a sudden.

Bill: "I am, actually..." He replies as he looks down at the snowy ground.

Suddenly Albert sees a woman standing behind a tree. It's one of his coworkers that Rodrick hired to go and search for him. He startles and grabs Bill's arm.

Albert: "C'mon, get up, we gotta go." He says as he gets up from the bench.

Bill: "Wait wait what's going on?!" He asks in panick as he gets up too.

Albert: "There's no time to explain, we gotta run away!" He replies as he starts to run while holding Bill's arm tightly.

The woman notices them and recognizes Albert. She starts to run after them.
Bill is confused and scared about what is happening. He can't really keep up to Albert's speed. He looks back and sees the woman holding a gun. This terrifies him even more and makes him increase in speed.

Bill: "SHE HAS A GUN!! WHAT THE FUCK SHE HAS A GUN!!" He yells in panick.

Albert: "I KNOW I KNOW BUT BE QUIET!!" He replies angrily.

After running for a while Albert stops behind a shop. The woman lost track of them and slowly retreats. Albert sighs in relief, only to realize that Bill isn't with him. He looks around to find him, yelling his name.

Bill stopped behind a nearby building. He is terrified by everything that is going on, so he decides that it's better to teleport back to the workshop. He takes the device out of his pocket and prepares to open it. As soon as he does this Albert runs into him, trying to grab his clothes. But it's too late, the device already has lighten up and teleported him back.
Albert covers his eyes due to the bright light. He grunts and rubs his eyes.

Albert: "Fuck... Bill what the hell was tha-" He says as he opens his eyes only to see that Bill is gone.

He looks around in confusion, trying to process what just happened. When he looks down he sees Bill's bracelet on the ground. He picks it up carefully and takes it with him. He has so much to unpack, that device, Bill's random appearance and disappearance, his new hair, his coworker .with the gun.
Albert's thoughts are racing in his mind, but he decides to go back to his car and rest since it's late and he's exhausted...

(On the other side...)

(8th of January 1898, currently 4:01 am)

Bill teleports back, breathing heavily because of running. He puts back the device and thinks to himself "What the fuck just happened...? I'm never going back there!".

Suddenly Tom enters the room and sees Bill in his jacket, covered in snow.

Tom: "What were you doing?" He asks.

Bill startles when he sees Tom but tries to remain calm.

Bill: "Oh, me? I couldn't sleep so I headed outside for a bit! Nothing much!" He replies with a smile.

Tom is a bit skeptical but buys his excuse.

Tom: "Fine then, if you say so..." He says as he goes back to the bedroom.

Bill yawns and goes to change into his pajamas, then he goes in the bedroom and lays in his bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
