"Woah! You guys sleep here?" Sam and Liza asked walking on the bus. I laughed, "well yea we used to, but now we will be sleeping on a separate bus" I explained watching their excited faces go over every detail of the bus. "Wait so the guys won't be there?" Sam asked. "No not on our bus" I said. "I wanna stay here" Liza whined. "There's no space for you guys to sleep Liza" I explained sitting on the couch near the front of the bus. Then the guys walked on dropping their stuff. "Little Levine's!" Jesse yelled. "Jesse!" Liza yelled hugging him. "What's this talk about not having the space?" He asked. "Jesse come on there is no room where would they sleep?" I asked challenging him. "So instead of getting a second bus why don't we just get a bigger one for all of us? Then we won't have to have an extra bus. The tutor will fit on one of the other buses and then you guys can fit with us!" He said and I could see how Liza had him wrapped around her finger. I sighed, "I'll talk to Shawn." I said. "Come on guys, lets go convince Shawn this is a better idea" I said. "Can we stay with the guys?" Sam asked. I shrugged, "seriously guys watch them" I said as I walked off the bus in search of Shawn.

"Really? They want two kids on the bus with them?" He asked. I nodded, "apparently" I said staring at him. "If they all agree fine I'll change the order, we'll fly to Florida and then pick up the bus there. Tell them" he said and I knew that was my cue to leave. I walked out of his office and back toward the bus sitting in the parking lot. I got on and they all had their faces stuffed with ice cream. "Brain freeze!" James yelled as I came into view. I laughed, "where's Adam?" I asked. "Isn't that why we pay you?" Matt asked teasing, "haha very funny Matt. But seriously he said he had an errand but didn't tell me more?" I said. "Ooh the hubby didn't tell you? Oh he's in trouble!" Mickey said laughing hysterically. Just then Adam walked up the steps of the bus. "Hello my sexy wife" he said with a kiss. I blushed, "hi hubby, where were you?" I asked. "I wanted to get this" he said pulling out a bouquet of flowers. "What? Why?" I asked happily taking them. "For putting up with us, and well just because." He said. I smirked kissing him and turned my attention back to the guys, "okay so we're flying to Florida, and then getting a new bigger bus, instead of the additional bus." I explained.

"This is so much fun Lex!" Sam said hugging me as we pushed our way to our seats in the front row after saying good luck to the guys. "It gets better, watch" I said softly. As soon as I said it, the lights went down and you could hear the guys running on stage. Finally one last set of footsteps ran across the stage stopping in the center. "Heyyyyyy Florida" Adam said lazily into the mike, a spotlight on him. "This song is so much fun, probably one of my favorites, I hope you like it" he said as the first cords of misery started out. I blushed hearing the song. I've avoided it since our break, its about me, almost all the songs are. The venue was amazing and the crowd was loud and energetic and the guys were feeding off of it all and were on some crazy high. Sam and Liza were dancing and singing along to every song. Halfway through the set Adam stopped to get a drink and Liza took the lull in the noise of the crowd to shout "do makes me wonder!" I laughed as Adam coughed on his water and turned to face her. He walked back to the mike, "did you all hear that?" He asked laughing into the mike. "My little sister just screamed for me to sing makes me wonder!" He said looking down at her, "think I should?" He asked everyone. The crowd cheered, "okay Liza get up here girl!" He laughed reaching his hand out and picked her up on stage. Adam picked up the guitar and started the song before having Liza sing. She sang the remainder of the song and Adam was loving it.

"Great job babe!" I said walking into the dressing room after the show. I kissed him, "thanks" he said kissing me back. "What about you two?" He asked looking at them, "that was awesome!" Sam yelled and Liza nodded eagerly agreeing. Adam laughed, "come on, time for bed you two" he said and picked up Liza while I collected his things and followed him out to the bus. The kids changed into their pjs and climbed into their bunks. I put on some soft music for Liza and set the timer so it would go off automatically after a few minutes and Sam just relaxed in the darkness of his bunk. The guys all clamored on, quieter than usual. I was grateful for that. They were really trying to help make this work. We sat up late talking and having fun like we always did.
