Ugh the urge to rewrite RWYLM with all my original ideas!!!

Not me posting even though I said i wouldn't???

Eliot lay sprawled across the bed in their Sydney hotel room, his eyes half-closed and a lazy smile on his face. He stretched and yawned, listening to the faint sounds of the city outside. Taylor had been up for hours, bustling around the room with an energy that left him in awe. She'd tried to coax him out of bed multiple times already, but he had stubbornly clung to his blankets, mumbling excuses about jet lag.

"Eliot," Taylor's voice rang out again, more insistent this time. She stood at the foot of the bed, hands on her hips, her eyes filled with determination. "You can't stay in bed all day. We're in Sydney! There's so much to do and see."

Eliot groaned dramatically, burying his face in the pillow. "But I'm so comfortable here. Besides, jet lag is a real thing, you know."

Taylor rolled her eyes, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "You're not jet-lagged, you're just being lazy. Come on, get up. I have something fun planned for us today."

Eliot peeked out from under the pillow, raising an eyebrow. "Fun, you say? What kind of fun?"

Taylor's smile widened. "We're going to the Sydney Zoo! And we'll have it all to ourselves for the evening."

Eliot's curiosity was piqued, but he still felt a bit reluctant to leave the cosy confines of the bed. "The zoo, huh? All to ourselves?"

Taylor nodded enthusiastically. "Yep! It's going to be amazing. Come on, get dressed. Sabrina and everyone are waiting for us downstairs."

Eliot sighed, knowing he couldn't resist Taylor's enthusiasm. "Alright, alright. You win." He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching his arms above his head.

Taylor clapped her hands in victory. "Yes! Now hurry up and get dressed. We don't want to keep everybody waiting."

Eliot quickly pulled on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, running a hand through his tousled hair. Once he was ready, Taylor grabbed his hand and practically dragged him out of the hotel room and into the elevator.

As they descended to the lobby, Eliot couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Taylor had a way of making everything an adventure, and he was starting to look forward to whatever the evening would bring.

In the lobby, Sabrina was waiting for them, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Hey, you two! You ready?"

Eliot smiled, feeling his mood lift even more. "Ready as I'll ever be."

The three of them climbed into Taylor's car, and soon they were on their way to the zoo. The drive through the city was filled with laughter and lighthearted conversation, the tension of the morning gradually melting away.

As they arrived at the zoo, the gates were closed to the public, but a friendly zookeeper greeted them and led them inside. The zoo was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and the usual crowds were nowhere to be seen.

"I can't believe you pulled this off," Eliot said, shaking his head in amazement.

Taylor grinned. "Dude. I'm literally Taylor Swift. Now, let's go see some animals!"

Their first stop was the kangaroo enclosure. As they walked toward the grassy area, the zookeeper handed them small bags of feed. Taylor, practically bouncing with excitement, immediately approached one of the kangaroos, her hand outstretched with a handful of food.

"Look at this little guy!" she exclaimed, her face lighting up as the kangaroo nibbled from her palm. She gently stroked its soft fur, her eyes wide with wonder. "Eliot, you have to try this."
