Bobbi heard her phone ding in her hand and glanced down at it as the car rolled to a stop. She smiled at the first few words she could read of the message but had to bring her attention back to her surroundings when she heard her name being called.

"You ready, Bobbi?"

Bobbi looked up and over at Alex as she stowed her phone away. Her manager had barely looked up from her phone when she had spoken and had her short blonde hair falling down in front of her face.

"Yeah. Let's do this." Bobbi said.

She felt a hand reach over and grab her, giving it a gentle squeeze. The smooth and un-calloused fingers felt foreign against the back of her hand but she smiled none the less at their owner. She glanced up at his bright blue eyes and wished somehow they were green instead. She shook the thought from her head as she smiled bigger.

"You ready?" She asked Aaron, sitting next to her.

"Let's do this!" He said. He unbuckled and stepped out the car on his side. Once the door opened, Bobbi's ears filled with the sound of cheers, screams, calls.

Within the minute, her own door was opened and the driver stepped aside to let her out. She started to reach for the hand she expected to be there but felt only air. She made sure to gather up the long skirts of her silky silver dress and pulled her shawl over her shoulders tighter as a cool wind whipped through the street.

Aaron stood a few feet away, already waving and smiling at the crowd that had gathered.

Bobbi heard her name being called by several hundred people, it seemed like, and turned to face them, sending them a smile and a wave.

Aaron soon noticed that she now held the crowds attention and snaked his arm around her waist and started to lead her towards the opening of the white long tent. Alex walked closely behind them, talking into her headset as she went.

"Bobbi has arrived. What's the ETA on the boys?"

Bobbi kept her ear strained to catch Alex's conversation but found it hard when she was stationed in front of the long wall of logos and told to smile for the multitude of cameras pointed her way.

Aaron held on tight to her waist and pulled her close. Bobbi kept her face straight but felt a possible sneeze coming on at the scent of his cologne.

Soon enough Alex wrenched his arm from Bobbi's waist and moved him further down the red carpet, telling Bobbi to stay put.

When she heard Alex mutter into her headset, "Send the boys in," Bobbi started to glance all around her for their familiar faces.

She smiled genuinely when she saw them enter the tent and walked towards her.

Alfie led the pack, running his hand through his curly brown hair as he waved to the cameras and the crowd standing behind them. He was messing up the neat hair job Bobbi was sure several hair stylists had worked hard on to help maintain his head of curls. But his black three piece suit remained impeccable.

Sam followed closely behind and gave a few smiles out to the cameras and the crowd. But he kept a quick pace and came to stand next to Bobbi as Alex started to position them around her. His suit matched Alfie's, as Bobbi was sure Alex had arranged it to. But his hair did not need the help Alfie's did. His dirty blonde locks were pulled back and wrapped up into a nice man bun, sitting high on the back of his head.

The crowd had started to scream when Alfie and Sam had stepped out of their car. But its volume tripled when the door to the car behind them opened up and its only occupant stepped out.

Bobbi shook her head when she saw he had ridden over in his own town car.

Theo took his sweet time walking over to where Bobbi and the other boys stood, casually buttoning only one of his jacket buttons over his black and white patterned button-up. And only about half of those buttons would be actually buttoned, Bobbi was sure of it.
