To Win The Queen's Heart

One Problem With You

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Please put on your seat belts and thank you for choosing SA Airwaves and enjoy your flight to the beautiful Mother City."

Scott and Kirstie sat next to each other with Kirstie sitting by the window. Behind them was Mitch and Elsa, Mitch being at the window, followed by Avi and Kevin, with Kevin watching the breathtaking view as the plane takes off.

Goodbye Port Elizabeth.

Hello Cape Town.

Mitch feels a warm but nervous feeling inside of him as Elsa turns towards him. She smiles and asks him how he's doing, but he struggles to find his voice.

Stay calm, Mitchie. Just breathe. He thinks to himself.

Slowly breathing in and out he turns to Elsa. "I'm ok thanks. And you? You excited?" Mitch asks. He's surprised his voice didn't bail on him.

"I'm great thanks. This is like a dream come true! I've always wanted to go to Cape Town!" She replies and smiles back.

That smile.

It was the only thing that was needed to trigger a faster heartbeat once more. Mitch looks down but he can't help but smile too. Hers is just....contagious. He looks back up at Elsa. "I'm glad we could make it possible for you."

Suddenly Scott and Kirstie turns to them. "Hey, I heard Taylor Swift's there. We can say hi to her....and maybe negotiate for a picture or two with you" Scott says as he smiles to Elsa. She smiles back.

"That would be absolutely brilliant! I hope she will have a show while we're still there. That would be awesome!"

"Maybe we can ask her to do a collab for Superfruit!" Mitch finally speaks up.

Scott smiles surprised at Mitch and they high five each other. "That is thee greatest idea ever, Mitch. We'll have to find a game to play with her." Scott says.

"Elsa can help us out, right? I mean, three heads are a bit better than two..." Mitch suggests taking a quick glance at Elsa.

"Yeah, good idea! You want to Elsa?" Scott asks with a smile.

"Yes, I'd be honored to!" Elsa smiles back.

Finally the signal is given that everyone can get up if they want, and Kirstie and Elsa switch seats instantly. Elsa sits next to Scott and he steals a kiss, smiling brightly as he does.

Oh Heaven, help me please? Mitch prays in his head. He turns and looks out the window down to the now tiny city of Port Elizabeth.

This is going to be a long trip...no doubt.

----------------------------------------------

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now..."

Taylor, Liz and Lizzy all sing along to Hayley's voice, having the time of their lives. They all dance to the song, laughing at each others moves. Suddenly the phone rings and Taylor rushes over to answer.

"Hello, Taylor here. Oh hi Scott!" She says surprised as she shows Lizz to turn the volume down.

"What? You're here in Cape Town? Yeah.....uh huh. Yes, I'd love to! Yep, that's ok. Ok. Alright! Yes, I'll tell them. Ok, bye Scott! Travel safe!" She hangs up.

"Who was that?" Liz asks confused.

"That, my dear friend, was Scott Hoying." Taylor answers walking back to them

"From Pentatonix?" Lizzy asks surprised.

"Yep. They're in Cape Town for their world tour and he asked me if I could feature in Superfruit with him and Mitch. Oh, and he says hi to both of you." Taylor confirms with a smile.

"You? On Superfruit?" Liz and Lizzy exchange looks.

"THAT'S SO AWESOME!!" they both scream at the same time and start to dance happily around the room. Taylor laughs as she watches them, also thinking about how surprised she is herself.

"There's one more thing..." She continues and the two girls freeze to listen.

"They will be part of the concert tomorrow night, performing their cover of 'We're Never Getting Back Together'. They said it'll be a bonus surprise to all the Swifties out there and an intro for their music."

Liz and Lizzy stares surprised at their best friend and break out in another happy dance.

This is going to be amazing for sure.

------------------------------------------

A few hours later the group arrive at the Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel. They check in and are led to their rooms by the assistants.

Five minutes later their all settled in and Scott, Elsa, Kevin, Avi and Kirstie get ready to explore the city.

"You coming Mitch?" Kirstie asks as she stands at his room door. He and Scott are sharing while the two girls share. Same with Avi and Kevin.

"Nahh.....I think I'm gonna take a nap. The flight really took a lot out of me." He replies absently.

After a long silence Kirstie speaks up.

"Can't get over her, can you?" She asks in a gentle voice.

Mitch let's out a sigh and walks to the bedroom window. He watches the beautiful scene with Table Mountain standing there in all its glory. He turns his head to Kirstie.

"Tell me Kirstie......how do I stop?"

Silence.

"Back on the plane.......her smile....is so amazing. I couldn't help but smile too. And those eyes. What the hell am I going to do?" Mitch turns his back to Kirstie, keeping his eyes closed with his fingers. He wipes his face and turns back to her.

"I'm gonna have to tell her."

"No! Mitch, are you insane?" Kirstie quickly looks back to see if anyone heard her. She steps in and closes the door behind her.

" I have no choice. Its going to get to me if I leave this.......this......obsession.....untreated!"

"You have too much at stake here Mitch. Way too much. Think of Scott."

Mitch sighs and turns away from her again. Silence reigns the atmosphere and suddenly a knock on the door is heard.

"You coming Kirstie? Mitch?" Scott asks behind the door.

"Coming Scott!" Kirstie answers over her shoulder.

"I'm going to take a rest Scott! You guys enjoy it!" Mitch answers too.

Kirstie makes her way to the door and looks at him with her eyes giving him a warning.

"You, Mitch Grassi, have a lot to think about." She says and walks out closing the door one more time.

"Now you've got me in your space..." Mitch whispers.

"Dammit, Mitch! What have you done?"

Mitch sits on the bed an closes his eyes as he tries to calm down.

"Elsa, what have you done?"
