When Becky awoke up the next morning, all sadness forgotten, she was super excited that she was finally going to meet her sisters, who she had loved and wanted to meet for ages, and her idols, the 2 people who had inspired and changed her life the most over the last year, Mandy and Chris face to face. Just over a year ago she listened to Hamilton for the first time, and just over 8 months ago she listened to In The Heights for the first time. One thing she could say is that she never expected that less than a year later she would be meeting the stars of both shows, and because they wanted to meet her and hang out.

She checked her phone - 9:00 - she had half an hour until her first bus, She quickly got ready, putting her TeeRico 'GWB' T-Shirt, despite it being only 4°C (40°F) outside, and her New York jumper that she had worn so much it was falling apart. She did some light make-up and ran out the door to catch the bus to the train station to head down to London. If she planned it correctly, waiting for the bus and the bus journey would be 30 minutes, perfect to listen to the 'Fearless' album. Waiting for the train and the journey would take 1 hour 30, Calculating to an In The Heights listen, and then a further hour to get the underground and a bus to the airport, Dear Evan Hansen time! Whenever someone gave her timings the first thing she would think of was what shows she could listen to in that time, it's just how her mind had begun to work. She messaged the girls saying she was on her way.

An hour and a half later as she was getting on the underground, she finally got a response: 

Caitlin - Hey Becky, where are you currently, everyone else is still asleep I'm guessing with jet lag. Good thing I didn't come that far, so at least I'm up! How long do we have until we need to be at the arrivals gate to meet you, Mandy and Chris?

Becky - Get them up now I suggest, all our dreams are coming true at 12 so you have an hour!

Liv - Fab, I'm just getting on the bus to Heathrow now so I'll probably be there in 40 mins so I'll meet the rest of you outside the hotel with Kerrie and then and we can head to the arrivals gate and meet you.

Becky -Sounds good, I should arrive at 11:50 assuming there no additional traffic to the usual London chaos! How's progress with you Kerrie?

Kerrie - all is good over here! I'll arrive about the same time as Liv so that plan works! I'm so excited!

Caitlin - Perfect

Caitlin - I'll go wake the others up and we'll be outside the hotel in 40 minutes. I still can't believe this is all happening! Everyone is exactly the same in reality as they are on the chat, we can't wait to see the last 3 of our sisters!

Linnea - hey, I' up!! It feels like 1pm to me! I've been reading for the last 3 hours and my phone was on silent! I'll get Shay, Delaney and Sara up now.

Becky - Awesome!! I can't wait!! Send me updates!

Becky could hardly contain her excitement, she began shaking with nerves of making a fool of herself in front of Mandy and Chris. When she was on the final bus, a girl, who Becky guessed was around 16, came up and asked her if she was ok. Becky explained the situation in a long-winded way like she usually does that by the time she finished she had arrived at the Airport, she jumped out of her seat, said goodbye to the other girl, and ran off to find her sisters.
