Thanks to Simon, both One Direction & Fifth Harmony were going to be headed out on a promotional tour. The artwork for thier single, "We Stand Together", was finished & was being eagerly anticipated by both Directioners & Harmonizers since word about the song came out on social media.

However, when it came time to come up with an idea for a music video, both groups had very different ideas, & they figured that the only way to hash out those ideas was to get together & talk about it.

So both 1D & 5H got together at Lauren's parents' house & got themselves seated in the den. Then all the talking started.

"How about making it sci-fi?" asked Niall who was seated next to Liam. "You mean Star Wars-like?" asked Normani, who wasn't much of a sci-fi fan. "Kind of, yeah," said Niall. "I don't know. It might come across as cheesy," said Camila who was sitting next to Zayn. "You might be right about that, Cam, What do you think, Harry?" said Zayn who then looked over at his friend, who was seated next to Ally.

"I can't think of anything myself. What do you think, love?" he asked Ally. She thought hard about it yet could still feel nine people staring at her, eager for anything.

Still Ally knew that she needed to be careful. She didn't want anyone angry at her.

Then it came to her.

"How about on the water?" asked Ally. "Here in Miami?" asked Lauren who was interested. "That doesn't sound bad," said Dinah. "What do you guys think?" asked Camila.

The 1D guys thought about it for a moment. The last time they did a music video that took place near water was for their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful". The guys had a great time making it & had been happy by the response it had gotten.

"You know, that's not a bad idea," said Liam. "Definitely. I mean, we're here in a city that is near the ocean. Why not?" said Louis excitedly. "So do we all agree with this idea?" asked Normani.

After getting a smattering of yese, the next thing to do was find any music video that took place on water since both groups didn't know of any. Lauren got on her computer & got on YouTube. They were all amazed by what they saw.

Then something caught their eyes.

It was the music video for the 1980s classic "Rio" by Duran Duran that got their attention. The beautiful surroundings and location were perfect. Still there was one problem, & both groups knew what it was.

"You know, we're going to have to do this video in complete secrecy," said Zayn. "If the fans found out, they'd all go mad," said Liam. "It would be all over the Internet," said Camila nervously. The others all nodded in agreement.

So it was settled. Then came the hard part.

How to keep the video shoot completely secret.
