I wake up with arms wrapped around me. For a second I'm pissed, because I think it's the guys doing another Keek, but then I remember what happened last night and that Luke slept over.

I lay still, not wanting to disturb Luke just yet. I can feel his breathe on the back of my neck and his chest against my back. Being so close to him makes me very aware of how broad he's become. Like extremely broad. His body completely encompasses mine and I feel so comfortable. Then he shifts slightly, and I feel something else. One very important part of Luke has woken up before the rest of him, and is pressing against my ass. I freeze. And then I hear the door open slowly. I realize it's the rest of the band when I hear their loud ass voices trying to whisper...something they have never been able to successfully accomplish. Luke stirs next to me and I quickly whisper for him to hide.

As the boys walk in, Luke and I jump out from behind the bed, scaring the absolute shit out of Ash, Cal, and Mikey. Ashton was already filming and he yells in a very unmanly manner and drops his phone. Calum and Michael also yell and jump back.

I crack up, all awkwardness from waking up to Luke's morning wood forgotten.

Once he gets ahold of himself, Ashton asks, "Luke? Why are you in here? Did you go rogue on your own cuddle Keek mission or...?"

Luke rolls his eyes and shakes his head, responding casually, "I thought I might actually want to get some sleep considering what was happening in my room."

Ashton blushes a little and laughs good-naturedly. Cal sticks out his fist for Ash to bump.

"How'd it go with your girls, guys?" I ask Mikey and Cal, just curious on how my wing woman skills had panned out.

"Not too shabbyyyy" Cal says as Michael gives a thumbs up. I just smile and shake my head.


"Congrats, I guess?"

"Ally Daniels: Wing woman extraordinaire" Ash says in his old man voice, as the three of them hold out their fists for me to bump.

"I'm guessing since you slept here, it didn't go so great with your girl...or girls if I recall?" Michael asks Luke.

Luke shrugs, "Just not my type, I guess"

"And the birthday boy strikes OUT!"

"Shut up, Cal!" Ash giggles.

I laugh at their ridiculous antics and decide we should probably get ready for the day.

------------------

Since we have a little free time between press in the morning and our show in the evening, we decide to do a Twitcam.

"How come we can never figure these damn things out?" Ashton groans through gritted teeth.

Calum tries to help him, but he was totally worthless with technology (Calum from YouTube, my foot). Sensing we need help desperately, I tweet from my @Ally5SOS account (a/n: this twitter handle is unaffiliated with the story), "Do we have any tech savvy fans out there? It looks like it takes more than 5 5sos members to figure out a Twitcam."

Within seconds, I get about 40 replies with in depth instructions on how to troubleshoot our problem. I laugh, our fans are freaking awesome. I talk Ashton through the steps our fans had tweeted and we were live.

"You guys are LIFESAVERS!" I say as soon as we figured out how to tell the microphone was working.

We start filling them in on our tour, which is quickly wrapping up, everything we have learned from Hot Chelle Rae, and how thankful we are to have them behind us.

The boys start to get distracted, as they usually do, so I decide to ask the fans if they had any questions before Calum shows his butt for the fourth time.

One fan asks, "Who in the band do you ship?"

"What is 'ship'?" We all stare blankly at each other.

"I'm going to look it up!" Ashton exclaims.

We find the definition to be: "When someone says, 'I ship us/them' it means that someone supports a romantic relationship between two people."

Luke looks exasperated, "Since when is a relationship not enough, when did shipping become a thing?"

I sort of got it, but I was confused if that meant each of my relationships with the guys, since I was the only girl?

Oh no.

We ask who they ship and the responses come in unbelievably fast.

Cake, Mashton, Muke, Cashton, Lashton, etc. etc.

I'm crying at the looks the boys are giving each other, trying to wrap their heads around the fact that our fans imagine them together romantically. Then of course Michael and Calum start pretending to make out while Ashton screams dramatically and covers his eyes. Luke and I look at each other and mutter, "I hate this band."

We wrap up the Twitcam, because we're all a mess after that. We keep talking about the ship names, right until we are about to go on stage. I'm trying to figure out what mine would be with the guys. None of the fans really mentioned shipping me with any of the guys, which is really for the best, since that could cause a lot of drama within the fam.

We're all getting hyped before the show, listening to music. I look at Calum, "So we would be Cally? or Alum?" He makes a face, not thrilled with either.

"Michael and I would be....Michally?" He looks at me like I was crazy.

Ashton and Luke look at me expectantly. "This is stressful! I don't think we have compatible names! Wouldn't Ashton and I just be Ashton or Ally?? We're both A's I don't understand!" Then I look at Luke, "Aluke?" I ask, looking hopefully at Luke.

Luke just snorts and grins, as we head to the stage, saying, "You're really horrible at this, aren't you?"
