Y/N's POV

We were now a couple of more days into the tour. It has been smooth and the boys have been hanging out with us for some time on the tour. The boys flew back home now but Derek stayed with us. He wanted to stay for most of the tour and fly home before almost the end. 

"I think it is nice to think about the idea I am here with you guys this whole time," Derek said with a chuckle.

"You being here is one of the best things we have been able to have around here," Alan said.

"I think I have brought a couple of interesting things to the table," Derek said.

"I think it has been nice having you around. You have made a lot of things more simple and helped out a lot of the times," I said.

"See? I think I am helpful and I know the boys left but they might join for the last show of the tour," Derek said.

"I do wonder if they will come back for the last tour date. I know they say they will but that does not mean they always will come back for us," Alan said.

"I am sure they will come back," I said.

"And or me I am going to be heading back home soon too. I an not too sure if I will be at the last show but I might," Derek said.

"Aren't you guys working on something?" I asked.

"We are supposed to be but you know how life goes. Things change from one day to the next. I am sure if they need me they will call me in," Derek said.

"You guys have been working on an album?" I asked.

"Yeah and it is coming along well. Les has been having some interesting views when it comes to the way he is doing the vocals but it is all coming together," Derek said.

"You guys are trying to take the group in a different way right?" I asked.

"Yeah," Derek said.

"I kind of think it is nice of you guys to be a four person band. You, Eric, Woody and Les. I think it works well," Alan said.

"I wonder what would have happened had you come back to the band?" Derek asked.

"I think it would have been so very different. But that is one thing we will have no idea for how it would have been. We can talk about it but you know we will never know for sure," Alan said.

"I think it would be going in a whole different direction. We might have had a couple of more changes when it came to who has been in and out of the band but then again who knows," Derek said.

"Ian and Pat never would have joined for sure. But if you guys would have done something else different it would be up to the imagination I guess," I said.

"Maybe but this is how our life is going right now and being in the moment is kind of thing we will be living for now," Alan said.

"Do you have a show tonight?" Derek asked.

"No, not until tomorrow which is good. That is kind of why we are just relaxing here in the hotel. If I had a show I would be late by now," Alan said with a chuckle.

"Oh yeah. I did not pay attention to what the time was right now," Derek said.

"Yeah so it is kind of good to think I do not have a show or it would not be very good," Alan said with a chuckle.

"You have never been late for a show and I do not know if now would be the kind of thing you would want," Derek said.

"Nope," Alan said.

"Are you guys thinking about what you want to have for dinner?" I asked.

"Oh I saw a cute little place we could enjoy a meal at in a little while. I think it is like a couple of minutes from here," Alan said.

"Then that sounds like a good plan," Derek said.

"I think it is nice to be able to notice the food places around here. It is something that helps us not worry about what to eat," Alan said.

"Yeah, it is quite nice," I said.

"Well in the meantime what do you guys want to do?" Alan asked as he looked at the two of us.

"I don't know. I am kind of down for anything," I said.

"Why are you always down for anything? I think it would be nice for you to come up with something we could do," Derek said.

"Alright then. I will think about this," I said as I closed my eyes and laid my head on the bed.

"Well if you are going to take that long to think I am going to think too," Derek said with a chuckle.

"Mmmm," Alan mumbled.

"I think we could play a game called we look out the window. And we say something and if we spot it we could get a point for the game," I said.

"I think that sounds like a very interesting game. Do you think it would be fun though?" Derek asked.

"I think it sounds like it could be fun," Alan said.

"Well then if we want to start the game," I said as I opened my eyes.

We walked over to the window and opened the curtain.

"Why are we playing this game?" Derek asked.

"Because it is going to be fun. Now we should look for a car that is red. Go," Alan said.

"Red car bam," I said as I pointed.

"You did not give me a chance," Derek said.

"I am sorry I saw it quite quick," I said.

"Okay fine now see if you can see a yellow car," Derek said.

"Yellow car," Alan said as he pointed.

"Wow you guys are good at this. Are you sure I should even be playing?" Derek asked with a chuckle.

"Well now it is my turn. Look for a large truck and see if you can see one," I said.

"Go," Alan said.

"Large truck," Derek said.

"Okay, you know what? I think this game is kind of boring," I said with a chuckle.

"Now I know this is why we do not let you pick," Derek said with a chuckle.
