"So, the fans have sent in their tweets and I have some questions for you guys here. Keep sending in your tweets as we're going live!"

Smallzy turned to them, initiating the Question and Answer segment of his exclusive livestream with 5 Seconds of Summer.

"We all know that you four have been friends a long time — some longer than others — but Paulina would like to know who would you trust with your life?"

"I'd trust Calum. He's good with... life, in general," Ashton answers first.

"I'd say Ashton," Luke chimed in, "I think Ashton could save me from dangerous events."

"I trust none of these guys with my life," Michael joked.

Everyone broke into laughter while Calum tried to raise his voice above the commotion.

"I'd say–," he paused to think, "I'd say Michael."

"What?! Why would you trust me?"

"I don't know, because you're my bestfriend?"

"Aww, how adorable!" Smallzy laughed, "Now, onto the next question!"

Several questions were brought on the table by fans of the band from all around the world, while many more were still coming in as they spoke.

"This next question is from Mina: Describe each other as a spirit animal."

Luke was described as a meerkat and a giraffe with broad shoulders — the "broad shoulders" added on by Michael.

Ashton was described as a lion, a pony and a chimpanzee.

Michael was described as a kitten and a sloth.

But everyone agreed that Calum, described as a spirit animal, would be a dog.

"Any kind of dog?" Smallzy asked.

"Literally, any kind of dog," Calum smiled cheekily.

"Alright, this is from Estrella and she would like to know your Tumblr tracks!"

"Tumblr tracks? As in, songs?" Ashton asked, clueless.

"No!" Smallzy laughed, "Tumblr tracks are keywords that you keep up with — like a hashtag that you save under your search engine so that you can easily look at it again."

"Oh! I think we all track #5SOS, that's the most obvious hashtag. I know Michael used to track "I love Michael Clifford"," Ashton turned to Michael who was smiling, faced down.

"I actually still track that," he said shamelessly, "Oh, and pizza porn."

"I track "cute puppies" too, if Estrella would like to know," Calum answered.

"Everyone knows that, Calum," Michael rolled his eyes.

A few more commonly asked questions were thrown out by Smallzy. The guys speed past with their answers, as though they read it off a script.

"This last question just came in! Ceri asked: If you were to reincarnate to be an animal in your next life, what animal would you like to be?"

"Easy," Calum grinned.

The room was filled with laughter and tongue-clicking as they have had enough with all the expected answers coming from Calum throughout the whole session. Calum, undefeated by everyone's reactions, looked right at the camera to answer that final question.

"In another life, I would be a dog."

He flashed the biggest smile while gesturing a thumbs-up. Michael planted his face in his palms.

"Awesome, now that is all for this Q&A session. Big thank you to the 5SOS FAM for sending in your questions and trending our #SmallzyAsk5SOS hashtag — it's #1 in Australia! Boys, we're looking forward to the release of your next album and thank you so much for being here."

The guys said their "thank you"s and waved their "goodbye"s. Finally, they could call it a day.
