"Happy New Year!" Taylor said hugging Amerie.
"Happy new year Mom" Amerie smiled.
"Try get some rest" Taylor said placing a kiss on Amerie's cheek.
Amerie walked to the large tent that was set up for her and her parents.
Changing into her shark onesie, she climbed into bed and immediately fell asleep when her head hit her shark pillow.

Amerie yawned, stretching her arms and moving around in the sleeping bag.
Rubbing her eyes she grabbed her phone, 8:30AM. She could hear talking outside, and the smell of freshly baked pastries and breakfasts.
"Morning my little shark, I plated you up an almond croissant" Taylor said smiling at Amerie's shark onesie, Amerie had many shark themed pyjama wear and onesies, sharks were her absolute favourite.
Amerie's favourite shark was the cookie cutter shark, she found it interesting how their jaw could lock onto any surface and almost rotate to create the perfect circle shape.
"Thank you" Amerie said accepting the plate of breakfast.
"We're going to be heading home in an hour, so make sure you have everything" Taylor said leaving the teenager to eat her breakfast in the tent.
Amerie finished up her breakfast and placed the paper plate to the side to clean up later. She quickly changed into a navy blue ruffled mini skort and a white top with different shark breeds on imprinted in navy blue patterns.
Amerie slung her backpack on her shoulder and took her paper plate to the trash.
"Hi Amerie!" Amerie heard a familiar voice, but one she hadn't spoken to yet.
"Hi" Amerie said turning around to be faced with Chappell Roan.
"I didn't have the chance to congratulate you on the Inspiration of Year award, congratulations you really deserve it. You're a really brave young girl and I love your music, keep up the work." Chappell praised.
"Thank you, I really like your music as well" Amerie smiled.
"Aw, you are incredibly sweet" Chappell smiled.
Amerie walked back to her Mom who smiled at her. Gracie also walking up to Taylor and Amerie.
"Oooh! Amerie can I do your hair" Gracie asked.
"Sure" Amerie shrugged sitting down on a seat.
Gracie started to braid Amerie's hair into two French braids.
"Your hair is so silky, I'm jealous" Gracie chuckled finishing up Amerie's hair, then styling her bangs to look nicely with the braids.
"Thank you" Amerie smiled.
"Bangs really suit you, they make you look like a mini version of your Mom which is just adorable" Gracie chuckled.
"She's my gorgeous girl" Taylor said placing her hand on Amerie's shoulder.
Amerie placed her backpack on one of her shoulders again, and stood up when Gracie finished her hair.
Taylor placed the other backpack strap onto Amerie's shoulder and placed her hands on Amerie's shoulders.
"We should get going then" Taylor said motioned for Travis and Amerie to follow her.

The journey Amerie thought about the New Year, what would she do. How would she be a new version of herself. Amerie thought she could change her style, stop straightening her hair, wear her natural curls.
"What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?" Taylor asked, pulling Amerie out of her thoughts.
"Just thinking, I might stop straightening my hair" Amerie shrugged.
"Finally taking my advice?" Taylor chuckled.
"It's just a thought" Amerie sighed.
"I think your natural curls are gorgeous and I think you should wear your natural hair more often, you used to be my curly haired toddler." Taylor said pulling up pictures of Amerie when she was little.
Amerie as a toddler looked exactly like Taylor as a toddler, she had the same platinum blonde hair and curls.
"It's not like it will go that curly" Amerie chuckled.
"I'm sure it will still curl beautifully" Taylor said kissing Amerie on the forehead.
Pulling up at their newly furnished house in KC, they were staying there for Travis' game season which would be starting again soon.
Amerie's room at the house in KC was ofcourse white and navy blue, with lots of posters and wall art of sharks.
Amerie placed her bag into her bedroom, unpacking the clothes that needed to go into the laundry.
Amerie stood in her mirror taking a couple of pictures of her outfit, then posting them to her socials.
Angel was snuggled up onto her bed, she picked up the ragamuffin kitten and cuddled him closely.
"Hmm what should I do?" Amerie sighed asking the ragamuffin, who put his paw on Amerie's face
"Meow, meow" Small meows escaped from Angel's mouth.
"You're no help" Amerie said rushing to find her Mom.
Taylor was sat watching an episode of Friends, giggling away at the episode.
"Hey Amerie" Taylor said.
"I'm bored" Amerie groaned
"Well I'm sure we can go out and do something" Taylor asked curiously
"Yeah" Amerie said, but was interrupted by the wringing of her Mom's phone.
"Hi Tree, oh my gosh that's amazing definitely, thank you" Taylor said.
"Sounds like a good call" Amerie shrugged.
"Vogue wants you on the front cover of their magazine for the Inspiration of the Year award" Taylor said proudly.
"What.., vogue oh erm" Amerie shrugged.
"Isn't this exciting" Taylor said.
"I guess" Amerie sighed.
Amerie felt uneasy about the vogue shoot, she didn't know what to expect. She didn't want vogue to chop all her hair and bleach it, she couldn't go through a bleachella.
