It was time for the concert, and Katy and Becca were in place. Becca was standing at the top of the stairs, wearing a black knee length skirt, a white long sleeved shirt tucked into the skirt, black boots going to her calves on her feet, a black fedora on her head, a boom Mic hooked up to her ear. Katy, across the arena, wore a similar outfit, only she had a white skirt with a black shirt and white boots, a white fedora on her head.

The beat for State of Grace began playing, and Becca sang the first verse, both girls hidden by a white curtain which dropped at the chorus, revealing Becca and Katy. They started walking down the stairs, stopping on the second verse, with "twin fire signs, four blue eyes." At the guitar chord, Becca jumped down the remaining stairs, which was about six, while Katy jumped down three.

After the song finished, Becca said,

"Well hello Japan! Or, as you might say, Kon'nichiwa! Watashi no namae wa Mike desu Becca." Katy interrupted her to say,

"Watashi no namae wa Mike desu Katy, and this is the Twilight Skies world live tour!"

The crowd of nine hundred thousand people screamed with all their might, making Becca and Katy laugh softly in amazement. After they calmed down a bit, Becca adjusted her boom Mic a bit then said, walking down the state a bit with Katy,

"You know, sneaking into yacht parties, it's really fun. Especially when you do it with your best friend and your boyfriend. As you know, Katy and I did that. There's this one thing that stands out to me about that night. It was, the Starlight." They screamed, and Becca grinned as Katy continued.

"Do you guys think we could copy that light? Hold up anything and everything sparkly and bright, and keep it up, as we sing, and sing along!" Starlight started playing, and they sang it.

Seven songs and half an hour later, Becca and Katy ran backstage to change outfits, then headed out into the raised walkway.

Becca's dress had been altered to reach her collarbone, long poet sleeves on her arms. Katy's had been altered as well, reaching above her collarbone, her sleeves only quarter length. Katy wore ankle boots, while Becca wore gold flats, and Becca's hair was in a braid down her back with her side bangs curling around her face, while Katy's hair was down, the curly red waves reaching the small of her back.

The lights went off, then the gentle beginning music for Treacherous started playing, and the light went up to the walkway, where Becca and Katy were now slowly walking as they sang the milder song.

At the second chorus, when it sped up a bit, the lockets started coming out of the containers, and Becca and Katy looked at each other as they sang, smiling widely.

After four more songs on the elevated walkway, they went down to the circular stages, singing the songs that were assigned to that area, then once they were done, they went to the main stage, after changing into their choice of clothes. Katy chose the outfit from the beginning of the show, while Becca wore black skinny jeans and a short sleeved t shirt, with a sweater tied securely around her waist, and completely black converse that were actually meant for men.

They played Change for the last song, and went back to the tour bus, soon falling asleep as they moved on to their next location.

______________________________________________________________________

The weeks and months passed, until it was time for the American tour, or rather, a week before the American tour. The girls' manager had managed to get them a week to rest at home before beginning the American leg of the world tour, so they were in Texas again, resting up for the upcoming tour. 

It was currently two days into the break, and Becca was lying on her bed, writing a song that had been in her head for a while, when she heard a loud ruckus next door, in Harry's house. (Harry was on a short break as well before beginning the European part of One Direction's On the Road Again tour.) She shot up, recognizing Harry's voice shouting, and grabbing her sweater, ran downstairs, jumping over the fence dividing their land from the Sawyer property, then ran to the door, knocking urgently. Mrs. Styles, or Anne, opened the door and exclaimed,

"Becca, thank goodness. Harry was watching the news, and it was on some stupid rumor patrol, and there were some really huge lies about you and him and he's been in a bad mood for the past two days, he just went out of control." Anne explained, leading Becca into the living room, speaking quickly. Becca saw Gemma trying to calm him down, and saw glass shards on the carpet. Harry was shouting angrily, swinging his arms violently whenever Gemma touched him, almost hitting her several times. Becca grabbed Gemma's arm and pushed her towards Anne.

"Go into your rooms and don't come down for another hour. I'll take care of him." When they hesitated, she reiterated,

"Go!" and they left, hurrying up the stairs. Becca took a deep breath, then went towards Harry, who was standing very close to the wall, almost hitting it. She said calmly, trying to make him listen to her,

"Harry, calm down, you know it isn't true." Harry just shouted something Becca didn't pay attention to and swung at her. She grabbed his wrist firmly, taking his other wrist as well, and lifted her knee, pinning him against the wall. She stared into his eyes and said, gently but forcefully,

"Harry. Calm. Down. Breathe." Harry started to listen to her, staring straight into her eyes as well, and she took deep breaths as well.

"Breathe, Harry." She repeated, softening her tone. When Harry calmed down a bit, the fire in his silver green eyes dying, she loosened her grip on his wrists, sliding her hands up to lace her fingers through his. She let her knee down, and Harry rested his forehead against hers, taking more deep breaths. 

After they stayed like this for approximately ten minutes, Becca said, stepping back,

"Sit down on the couch, I'll be there in a minute." Harry nodded and stepped back, going to the couch. Becca cleaned up the glass shards before sitting on the couch next to Harry. Harry queried,

"Would it be considered inappropriate to snuggle?" Becca considered, biting her lip. 

"I think it would be okay, if it helps you calm down. Would it?" Harry nodded, so Becca rearranged herself, turning sideways, so they could. Becca turned so Harry could rest his body partially on hers, and he did, resting his head on her chest. They were like this, only asleep, when Gemma came in to check on them. She smiled and pulled a blanket over them, then went out.
