Dianne's POV:

After a quick (and I mean quick,) trip away, I had a four hour turn around before heading back out on tour for Here Comes the Girls. In said four hour time gap, Jospeh Sugg managed to scare me three times and prank me twice, as well as pulling the age old salt in coffee trick. He is clearly in a good mood today and as always, his happiness brings on the endless pranks and jump-scares that he is in fact famous for. "You can't prank a prankster Buswell but your attempt was cute I guess...just like the rest of you." he smirks, enclosing me in a bear hug and spinning us round after a failed attempt to get him back before I left. " You mark my words Joe Sugg, I'll get you back, just you wait. I grew up with two older brothers, I KNOW that revenge is always sweeter when it is unexpected." I'm not giving up and this six day tour gives me the perfect opportunity to plan it without him having any ideas as to what i'm up to. Last time I got him good was the night before Valentines and he nearly 1) exposed the secret romantic that he is, a night early and 2) shit his pants!

Pulling out my signature mermaid notebook and my favourite pen, I set to work jotting down ideas that I think might work while i'm on tour and of course, a few to try when I get home again. We are currently on the train to...honestly I have know idea where we are going but i'm sure I'll figure it out; I never have been great with geography and England is so confusing. Anyway, glancing around me, everyone else seems either preoccupied with their phone/game or asleep, trying to pass in the tedious train journeys, so I set to work listing the pranks I have already successfully pulled while hitting shuffle on my strictly playlist, hoping for some inspiration. Recently, I've tried to prank call him but that failed epically. I attempted several jump scares which have also failed. I did manage to pull off the "what's in the box" prank though, that was goooooood, he screamed like a girl. I need something more original, which is difficult when you're dating Joe Sugg; the OG prank King. Having watched most of his videos, he has pulled off some seriously epic pranks and at times, I have actually felt sorry for those involved, usually Caspar and occasionally Josh.

After an hour of serious thinking, I have exactly two ideas; yet another prank call, this time with me a bit more emotional so he might believe me OR I can send him random lines from an emotional song until he realises...or I can wait until I go home and just hide all his clothes...in my suitcase... I'm currently leaning towards the lyric idea but then I have to pick a song and check that I actually have the lyrics right. With that thought, high school musical blares through my earphones, reminding me of week three of Strictly...that week will always hold a special place In my heart. It was the week that we spent getting closer to each other, singing random high school musical songs and generally goofing around as always. And of course, our first kiss was a huge moment too. OH MY GOD that's it! I need to use a high school musical quote considering I made him watch all three movies with me that week. Challenge is ON Joseph Graham Sugg. It is ON.

After searching for the perfect song out of the three albums, I decide its time to be slightly cruel in my song choice, he should get it pretty quickly though, it's one of my favourite songs. "Gotta go my own way." Perfect. If he could read my mind, he would know I am apologising to him already...but he DID put salt in my coffee and NO-ONE messes with my coffee and gets away with it.

Joe's POV:

Dot has been gone two days now and as sad as it sounds; I'm really missing her already. It's all the little things I miss the most; scaring the crap out of her as she leaves a room, chasing her with random items and even just putting salt in her coffee or sugar on her chips. Thinking on it, I really am quite horrible to her but honestly, the most attractive thing about any girl, in my opinion, is her sense of humour and personality and my Dianne has crazy amounts of both. Her good natured banter does seem to be the reason behind the majority of my pranks recently and almost gives us a regular reality check, allowing us to just be ourselves together. She does try to get me back, bless her, but as I always say, "you can't prank a prankster Buswell, keep trying!". Saying that, she did get me a cracker on the night before Valentines day, almost ruining the beginning of my surprises for her but it was the first and last time she succeeded. Still, there's plenty of time for her to catch up with me

After our whirlwind trip to Paris, Di headed straight off again and has been gone for two days now, leaving me by my lonesome once again but this time, I'm going to use my time productively. Spending the morning sorting my life out and editing another few vlogs, I finish up and turn my attention back to my initial plan. Dianne has another break coming up before she heads out on the Professionals tour for Strictly but her birthday is in the first week of tour so I've decided to book us a relaxing break as an early present for her thirtieth. As I finalise a few details of our trip, I get a text from Di.

"I gotta say what's on my mind."- well that's a bit deep for 10am on a Thursday morning but okay?

"Something about us, doesn't seem right these days."- Wait what? Shit. What have I done this time.

"Life keeps getting in the way."- Hey hey, don't think like that, life is busy at the moment but just think about the break you have coming up and we can have some quality time together. It will get better I promise Dotty

Okay so this is seriously beginning to stress me out. I can't think of anything that I have done recently to upset her and the last thing i'd ever want to do is hurt her in anyway. Biting the bullet, I facetime her, needing to see her face and hopefully settle whatever has triggered this recent bout of emotions. She picks up after a few rings and instantly I can tell something is up. Her face is downcast and she won't meet my gaze. "Di? What's going on my love? Have I done something to upset you?" I pry softly, desperately searching for the answers needed to make my beautiful girlfriend smile again. She raises her eyes quickly but still wont look at me, "Whenever we try, somehow the plan is always rearranged." she's pulling on her hands, fidgeting constantly before continuing, " Its so hard to say, but I've got to do what's best for me."

With that sentence, my heart sinks and tears prick in my eyes, threating to fall down my face. " Dianne...what can I do to make this right? What have I done wrong? I love you, I will always love you, please?"

Finally meeting my gaze, "You'll be okay..." I watch her shoulders begin to shake and with that, all my strength leaves my body and the tears spill over, flooding down my face. And that's when I hear it.

Her signature giggle.

The one where she has said or done something mean and is about to apologise.

"Oh my god Joe, I've made you cry! You actually believed me! I'm so so sorry! Joe, Joseph look at me! JOE." she pleads but I still need a minute to gather myself. " Di, that was bloody EVIL! I genuinely shit myself thinking that you would leave me and that I had hurt you in some way. Di...Im sorry, im so sorry." Her mood has quickly shifted and concern laces her face. " Joseph Sugg...if anyone has to be sorry, its me. I thought you'd realise that it was lyrics, I was too busy trying to get you back, I didn't think it could actually hurt you. Please don't cry, I feel awful now. I wish I could hold you and make you believe me." her pleas come in thick and fast and now she looks as if she's about to cry too. " So you still love me then? I've not hurt you or upset you? Phew, no deduction of boyfriend points from me then. Wait what on earth kind of song is that depressing and scary?!" I laugh tearfully, wiping the remaining tears away from my watery eyes. " Of course you haven't Bub, and if you ever accidentally did, I definitely wouldn't be calling you out on it over text, not a chance. You know how I feel about that sort of thing. But no, you're not getting rid of me that easily. I love you so you're stuck with me now, sorry mate!" she laughs lightly, relief washing over her soft features. " Its from High school musical 2, maybe if you had watched it instead of sleeping through it way back when, you might've got the reference quicker." she teases and with that we are back to normal.

" You best be nice to me Dianne Buswell for I have just booked you an early birthday present for when you come home inbetween tours. I'll happily take Mikey with me to it instead so don't try and prank the prankster again. Capiche?" I chuckle, smiling at her widely as I click confirm on our booking.

"Joe?" she glances at me, maintaining eye-contact,

"What does capiche mean?"
