RYLAN'S POV

So far we've done two radio shows. One with Lia and the other with Cody. And we still have three shows in Burbank and three shows in New York City. In total, other than Lia and Cody, we've gotten calls asking us to be on Ellen, The View, Good Morning America, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Wendy Williams Show, and The Today Show. We pretty much had to pack for almost three weeks without going over the weight limit for our baggage. So we all decided we'd just pack clothes and then buy everything else we'd need in Burbank, then repeat the process for when we go to NYC. But then we heard we were all allowed to have a carry on each, so we all took charge of one thing we would all need. I had the tech we would all need, Em had toiletries, Destini had feminine products, Danielle had hoodies, Reba had the first aid kit and some gum, mama had a few games, Andy had an extra pair of shoes for each of us, Tristen had blankets, Wyatt had comfort items, Dann had his laptop and all of our business items, Dustin had perfume and cologne, Tyler (Destini's brother) had books, Tyler (our manager) had the computer with our track lists on it, Brian had the 3DS's with several games, daddy had pillows, and knowing Hunter, he had his backpack with all the things he needed to survive. And then Sam, Matt, Devon, Steve, Andy, Ansel, Nitro, and Betsy tagged along for both working with Hunter. Did I forget to mention our families and Hunter's crew were going with us to Burbank and New York City? Apparently this is such a sensitive topic that they're all gonna stay backstage for us just in case we needed support... and we also had to have sixteen chaperones for seven teenagers instead of just Hunter. How everybody that was paying for our hotel accommodations, chauffers, and plane tickets could afford all of this, I have no idea. But hey, they make millions, maybe even billions or trillions of dollars a year. Maybe that's how they can pay for 23 people's plane tickets, chauffers, and hotel rooms...

"I can't believe we're heading to Burbank today," I exclaimed.

"Yeah the time went by so fast," Em replied.

"Don't get too cocky about it, sis," Hunter chuckled, "I bet by the time we're in Burbank, you'll already be missing Nashville."

"Is that a challenge?" I asked.

"I dunno... is it?" he replied.

"Fine. Then I bet you'll be missing the studio by the time we're in Burbank. The winner gets ten bucks. Deal?"

"Deal." We shook hands on our deal and then we thwicked each others noses once for no reason. Dann had to break us up for no reason after we thwicked each other's noses, causing everyone to laugh.

"Hey guys, what's that?" Destini asked pointing to a guy holding a sign that said 'WARB and Co." So we go over to it to see what they want.

"Can we help you?" Andy asked the guy.

"Are you who I'm looking for?" the guy asked.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Then hello. My name's Erick and I'm supposed to direct you guys to your plane."

"Okay..." We all followed him to, hopefully, our flight to Burbank. And sure enough he lead us outside to an aircraft and escorted us to, not a plane, but a jet. A jet! When we finally get in the jet, we find that it's way better than first class ever could be. It had both an area to eat and an area to hang out. And for the hang out area, we could use it to rehearse since we were performing a song or two on the shows we're doing in both Burbank and NYC. It (thankfully) had enough room for all of us. Mama, daddy, Dann, Ansel, Nitro, and Betsy sat at the front of the plane while everyone else sat at the back to help us with some songwriting... along with some goofing off.
