Touring With The Strokes (editing + updating)

Gullivers World

Authors Note: So to move this story along, I'm going to be skipping a lot of the countries they went to, or I will briefly explain them traveling there. I also want to point out that my story is severely inaccurate if compared with the real Strokes tour. I'm not trying to make it exact, I'm just going off of things that are in In Transit. I hope you enjoy and continue to read the story.

Today everyone was going to "Gulliver's World" for the day.

"I can't wait for this!" Fab exclaimed, being extra jumpy.

I grabbed the camera to record, since I barely recorded a thing since we started the tour.

"Smile." I exclaim, as I videotaped all the guys.

"I had crazy dreams last night, man." Julian explained to Nick, as I recorded it.

"Last night at one point.. a lot of it was like the party we were at..and at one point there was like this giant man..from, like, the hill people of the 1600's.. this giant, good looking guy with a swastika on his forehead..."

I gave him a confused and concerned look, as he smiled with amusement.

"and he was doing a speech like 'arrr.. and we will take the car!' and his heart just went boom and exploded out of his chest." Julian explained, as all the guys laughed.

"It scared the shit out of me, even in the dream." he explained, turning his face to me, as Nick got up.

"Nasty." Julian exclaimed, in a goofy voice, causing me to laugh.

I put the camera down as we approached the park.

"I fucking love roller coasters!" I say, as we park the bus.

"You seem like the type of girl who would be scared." Ryan explains, "Shut up you idiot." I say.

As we're walking in, Julian leans down and whispers into my ear, "I get a little scared on rides, may need you to hold my hand." he says, laughing.

He looks down at me smiling, trying to make me smile, and I eventually give in.

We pay and enter the park and Ryan gives the recorder to Julian and all of us walk to the nearest roller coaster, except for Albert who runs off back to the van.

As we wait in line, Julian films us. "Here we are at Gulliver's World!" he films me smiling, "worlds most dangerous roller coaster! Gia is looking intensely afraid." I burst out laughing, "Shut it off! you idiot, I'm totally not." I say, as we approach the front of the line.

"I am so very scared right now." Fab explains, as he hops in a cart with Nikolai.

Nikolai laughs at him, "Don't be a baby."

I hop in a cart and julian swiftly slides in beside me.

"Well hello." he says, cocking an eyebrow.

The ride starts and we start going up the big hill.

"Oh my fucking god!" I say, right as we go down the roller coaster.

Julian slips his hand into mine as the roller coaster flies down the tracks. I closed my eyes as Julian screamed, and occasionally squeezed my hand tighter and tighter.

The roller coaster stopped and we got off.

"Holy crap!" Fabrizio exclaimed, as he fixed his Afro, that was now a mess.

Julian laughed, "I took it like a pro." he said, "oh sure, since you were totally not screaming through the whole ride?!" I said, laughing.

"Shhhh, that was our secret." Julian said, winking.

Suddenly, Albert approached us as we started walking towards some of the other rides.

"Look what I fucking snatched guys?!" he exclaimed, with a huge smile on his face.

He discreetly held up a bag filled with joints.

"Sweet man!" Nick exclaimed, "wait! how the fuck did you even get those?!" I questioned.

"We got a stash is the bus." he says, smirking.

All of us snuck off to some remote area and lit one, and passed it around.

Julian and I took an extra joint each when Albert was too busy trying to get the lit joint back from Fab.

"We'll see you guys later!" Julian said, with a huge smile on his face, and as soon as we turned away we booked it, laughing.

"What the fuck, talk about oblivious." I say, laughing. Julian nods.

"Cmon, let's get high and get on some rides." he said, as he grabbed my hand and led me to some place to smoke, and then go on rides.

After we smoked, we had a blast and went on a ton of roller coasters, and a ton of cool rides. We didn't see the rest of the guys till we left.

Julian and I ate shit carnival food and played some games. We sucked real bad, so we went and did other things. Before we left, we went on the Ferris wheel.

"Ahhhh." Julian said, as he snaked his arm around me.

"You know I really don't understand you." I explain, laughing slightly.

"What about me don't you understand?" he questions, "Well, for one, you act like you genuinely like me, but you get so mad when I don't return the flirting, I guess." I say.

"but then you act like its no big deal, and we act like nothing even happened." I continue to explain.

He pondered for a moment and flashed a funny thinking face.

"We should talk about this later, I'm too high." he says, with a smile.

"Whatever- Julian crashes his soft lips against mine, with passion.

We both stare at each other shocked, but I force myself on him. I've never wanted him more.

I kiss him harder, but suddenly the cart tilts backwards, causing me to bite his lip.

"Shit, I'm so sorry." I say, as Julian puts his hand to his lip.

"No big deal." he says, smiling at me, "that was so not cute." I say, awkwardly laughing.

"Well, I think you're cute, so that make everything you do cute." he says, as he cuddles next to me, as we watch the gorgeous view of the park.

We got off the ride and met up with the rest of the guys. "Hey where the fuck have you guys been?" Nikolai asks.

"We've been around." Julian says laughing.

"Wait are you guys fucking stoned? How are you guys more stoned than us?" he asks.

Julian and I look at each other and burst out laughing.

"Wait a fucking minute." Albert says, as he checks the bag of joints. "You guys took some! you little fuckers!!" he exclaims, laughing.

After that, we all packed into the bus and took off back to the hotel. Everyone was exhausted and ready to go to sleep. I couldn't wait to get into bed.
