The buzz of the plane's engines hummed softly as Georgie gazed out of the window, watching the vast ocean beneath them. She could hardly believe it—they were about to land in Australia. The entire trip had felt like a dream, and now, after hours in the air, they were moments away from touching down in a new country, a new adventure.

Morgan, sitting beside her, was dozing with his hat pulled low over his face. Georgie smiled at the sight, grateful for the calm before the whirlwind that was sure to hit them when they landed. She had seen how crazy her Australian fans were on social media, and judging by the amount of buzz around her headline show at CMC Rocks, she knew they were in for a wild welcome.

As the plane began its descent, Morgan stirred, lifting his hat and glancing over at her. "You ready for this?" he asked, his voice still thick with sleep.

Georgie grinned, her heart racing with excitement. "As ready as I'll ever be. I can't believe we're here."

Morgan smiled, stretching his arms. "Australia, here we come."

The moment they stepped off the plane and into the bustling terminal of Brisbane Airport, it became clear just how big of a deal Georgie's arrival was. Fans had gathered by the dozens, some holding signs with her name, others with photos of her and Morgan. The noise was deafening as people screamed and cheered, waving frantically to get their attention.

Georgie and Morgan exchanged a glance, both slightly overwhelmed by the scene. They had expected a warm welcome, but this was beyond anything they had imagined. As they moved through the airport, security quickly gathered around them, guiding them through the growing crowd.

"Wow," Georgie whispered, her eyes wide as she took in the sight. "This is insane."

Morgan grinned, giving her a playful nudge. "Looks like Australia loves you."

The fans pressed in closer, desperate for a selfie or autograph. It quickly became clear that navigating the airport would be a challenge without more help. As they finally made it through to their waiting car, their team made arrangements for added security during the rest of their stay.

Once they were safely on their way to the hotel, Georgie let out a long breath, sinking back into her seat. "That was... intense."

Morgan chuckled. "Welcome to being a headliner, darlin'. Australia's already showing you how much they appreciate you."

Georgie smiled, still buzzing from the energy of the fans. "It's amazing. I just wasn't expecting it to be that crazy right off the bat."

"Well, you've got a few days before the festival," Morgan said, glancing out of the window. "We should make the most of it."

Georgie turned to him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I was thinking... what if we went to Australia Zoo tomorrow?"

Morgan raised an eyebrow. "You wanna see some koalas and kangaroos?"

"Absolutely," Georgie said with a grin. "We've got the day off, and I've always wanted to go."

Morgan laughed, shaking his head. "Alright, Australia Zoo it is."

The morning at Australia Zoo was everything Georgie had hoped for and more. After interacting with kangaroos and holding koalas, the excitement of the day still had Georgie and Morgan buzzing. They strolled through the zoo hand-in-hand, laughing and taking in the sights, but it wasn't long before Georgie had another idea.

"Hey, what do you say we make a TikTok for the fans while we're here?" Georgie asked, pulling her phone from her bag.

Morgan chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "What's the plan? You thinking we get the kangaroos in on this?"
