Perrie brought Aspyn back to the bus with her, blabbing away together as Perrie showed her around.

"Who's this?" Harry asked, his eyes briefly scanning her.

"I'm Aspyn," She smiled, ignoring his hand and going in for a hug.

Harry stumbled back, regaining his balance as he looked down at her amused, hugging her back.

"Hi, Aspyn," He laughed.

"Well if you lads don't mind, we're taking sunshine and our newest collectable to dress 'em up," Gemma said, pulling her softly from Harry's arms.

Aspyn waved goodbye, following Perrie and Gemma to the bathroom. Gemma opened the shopping bag, taking the dresses out.

"Here are your stuff, you can both do your thing and take it from here," Gemma said.

The girls both nodded, sliding the dresses on themselves. Aspyn scrunched her face as she slipped on the strappy heeled sandals. "Why are they so skinny? How do people walk in these?"

"They have straps, you'll be fine," Gemma rolled her eyes. "Just walk as you normally do and chill."

Aspyn stood, her legs wobbling. Perrie held her shoulders, steading her. "S' okay, Aspyn, just a bit of practice is all ya need!"

Aspyn laughed and recomposed herself, taking small steps until she felt okay with them. Gemma did their make up and hair as she usually does since neither girls knew much on  it. As soon as Gemma finished with herself as well, they came out the small bathroom and saw the boys sitting around and waiting.

"You three look lovely," Liam complimented. "Nice of you to join us, Aspyn! We hope you have at least a bit of fun."

"Thank you," She smiled.

"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go! Zayn's already left with his toy," Niall said.

"Isn't he a bit too old for toys?" Perrie scrunched her nose.

"You're never too old, Perrie," Harry winked. "Especially when she's named Karen Dosantos."

"I don't know why he's brought her 'round again," Liam shook his head. I thought he.. nevermind, let's just go."

The boys looked at him oddly, but shrugged it off, stepping off the bus and transferring to the black cars they usually used when going out. They drove off, Aspyn on Perrie's lap since there was limited space. Aspyn would gasp from time to time, excitedly pointing at the tall building and bright lights. Once they arrived, Niall helped both Aspyn and Perrie out, holding her hand and guiding her inside to avoid the paparazzi's flashing lights. Perrie and Aspyn would wave and smile at them, Niall tugging at her hand when she would chat with them, Aspyn trying to keep up and keeping her hand clasped on Perrie's hand.

Once going inside, Aspyn flinched, looking around the room, alarmed. "Where's that coming from?"

"It's okay, Aspyn! It's just coming from those speakers!" Perrie assured.

Gemma left immediately for the dance floor, Harry and Louis following close behind. Perrie glanced around, finding Zayn sat next to Karen.

Karen placed her hand on his knee, slowly sliding it up. Zayn noticed, jerking his knee away. She sighed, dropping her hand back on to her lap.

"Zayn, I'm bored. Why can't we go dance and have fun? You used to love dancing with me," She whined.

"I'm not in a mood, Karen."

"You're never in a mood anymore," She mumbled. She glanced around, groaning when she saw Perrie with a short brunette coming their way. "Fucking kill me."
