As the guys make it to England, from Dover to Canterbury, Ashford through Bromley, they make it to London to have a few days off. Randal goes to see his family, Murray stays at the suite and watches tv, and Anthony takes a stroll through high park. As for Jeff, he's at a random Starbucks contemplating what he's gonna do to replace Max after the bribing fiasco. Just then, a girl in a grey sweater with a pink shirt, and charcoal colored hair sees him and decides to walk up to him. The girl goes by the name “Grey” and she's Nebula454's biggest fan. Or maybe she's just a fan of Jeff, who knows. Anyway, she walks up to Jeff who's at a table all excitedly. 

Grey: Hi!

Jeff: Hi..*looks up and sees her* Oh hi! Hi! It's..Grey, isn't it? 

Grey: Yep, that's me! 

Jeff: Wow, it's great to see you. It's been like what? A month?

Grey: Yeah, in San Antonio.

Jeff: Yeah, and now you're here, small world heh. Would you like to sit down?

Grey grabs the chair and sits down.

Jeff: So, what brings you to the other side of the pond? 

Grey: Well for one, I'm here to see you guys play, and I'm supposed to write a story about you guys. You see, my local newspaper wants me to write an article about how you guys are changing the way tribute bands are being seen all over the world. I then contacted someone at the traveling conventions company, and somehow I managed to convince them to give me a press pass, and they're basically paying me to be here, it's awesome. 

Jeff: Great to see someone's having fun on this thing.

Grey: I guess you guys aren't really having fun at all? 

Jeff: It's a croc that's what it is, me and the guys have been winning even though we broke some rules.

Grey: Which rules? 

Jeff: Well, singing the songs how they're meant to be, not having the right instruments, and not being dressed like the beatles. 

Grey: Well somehow you guys came on top, plus y'all were really good. 

Jeff: Thanks, but the only reason we came on top was because our tour manager bribed the judges.

Grey: No way.

Jeff: Yes way, our manager knew we were gonna try to get ourselves out of this so he gave our tour manager bribe money, and we found out in hamburg. To make a long story short, we fired him and we took the bribe money. Now we got extra spending cash and we're short a tour manager.

Grey: Well that sucks. So wait , if y'all don't wanna be here, then why did you guys say yes? 

Jeff: Because the lady who wrote to us to see if we wanted to do it. Murray knew her from his younger school days and he had a crush on her, and I figured, this'll be a good way for him to get a second chance to ask her out. 

Grey: Aww, that's so sweet. Trying to help a friend out, it seems like the kind of thing you would do.

Jeff: I guess.

There's a moment of silence between them.

Grey: So….we're never gonna talk about what happened in San Antonio will we? 

Jeff: What is there to talk about? Mistakes were made, chances never happened, and it was all awkward 

Grey: It was pretty awkward. At least we can look back and laugh right? 

Jeff: Yeah. 

Grey: Anywho, can I interview you? 

Jeff: Right here? Right now?
