Rose and Vik sat at Vik's setup, his camera rolling, and a phone filled with Twitter Q&As at the ready.

"Hey guys, today I'm joined with Rose who is finally home!" Vik exclaimed, throwing an arm around Rose who grinned and titled her head to the side.

"It's true!" she giggled, and Vik laughed, pulling up a question from Twitter.

"First question: Who's the best Sideman?" Vik asked, turning to Rose. Rose thought about it and had an answer immediately.

"Vikram Barn,  of course!"

Vik grinned as Rose wrapped her arms around him, hugging her new best friend tightly.

"Well, I class Rose as a Sideman so my answer is Rose!" said Vik, and the pair giggled before moving onto the next question.

"If you could marry anyone in the world, who would it be and why?"

Rose thought whilst Vik answered, a grin on his face.

"Definitely Prince Harry. I don't care if he's married to Meghan Markle, he's cute and my free ticket into the royal family," he said proudly, Rose bursting laughing.

"I think I'd want to marry Chris Pratt. He's cute, funny and an actor!" she said after a thought. Vik just nodded, and they moved onto the next question.

"Now, 'What would you like your future kids to be named?'" Vik announced, and the pair sat back in their chairs, Rose sat in JJ's which she'd stolen for the video.

"I think I'd like the names Joey and Isabella for my kids, Rose?"

Rose couldn't help thinking of the dream she'd had so long ago. The little girl that had ran into her arms and called her 'mummy'.

"I like the name Greer for a little girl," Rose finally said, her excitement drained from her. Vik frowned slightly but carried on, scrolling through Twitter. Rose sat silently in her seat, staring into space as she thought about the future she once thought she'd have with Harry. Now, it was nothing but a dream.

"Get in!" Ethan roared as the football landed in the goal, Tobi landing on his face. The boys behind the camera wasted no time in jumping up and celebrating with Ethan, Rose staying behind to make sure the camera was catching everything.

"Well done, Behz," she said when Ethan joined her and the other behind the camera, Vik stepping forward to take his turn to try and score. The boys weren't exactly filming something specific, more something to go on their second channel.

"Come on Vik!" Rose called, jumping up and down from behind the camera. Vik turned his head and gave Rose a smile before launching himself forward and kicking the football.

The football somehow manged to land in the goal and Rose nearly knocked down the camera in her attempt to celebrate with Vik.

"You did it!" she screamed as she jumped on the boy's back, sending them both to the ground.

"Vik!" the other boys yelled, piling on top of the pair. Rose yelled out as JJ landed squarely on top of her, his new-found muscles crushing her against half of Vik and most of the fake and scratchy grass.

Rose manged to scrambled her way out of the pile and laugh at the mess of boys sprawled out on the fake grass.

Rose wiped her hair from her face as the other boys climbed off Vik and the younger lad managed to stumble to his feet, dazed slightly.
