When Tay and Jordan arrived in Berlin International Airport, the sun was just begining to rise over the sleepy city, creating a beautiful halo over the city skyline which was displayed from a massive glass window in the arivals section. The six hour time difference had left Tay feeling very jet lagged and she felt a gravitational pull towards one of the comfy looking sofas in one corner of the lounge. Jordan, however, would hear none of it. 

' No Tay, we are NOT sleeping until we get back to New York. If you have a nap now, then your sleeping pattern will be completeley wrecked when we get back home,' lectured Jordan, 'Besides, we have like thirteen hours until Tonight Alive are due to play so there no point going to that club yet. And we're only here for a day so i wanna go look around. I've never actually seen Berlin before'

' Dude, we played here like a few months ago!' Tay argued.

' But we never got to see the Berlin wall, or the Brandenburg gate, or the Reichstag building or the Charlottenburg palace! And I really wanna go see the museum island! We never get to see any places when were on tour!' Whined Jordan. 

Tay stared at Jordan in mock horror at his surprising display of knowledge and wisdom. Jordan shrugged at Tay's reaction. 

' I'm not as stupid as you think, Jardine. i actually finished highschool unlike some people', said Jordan, giving Tay a pointed look. 

Linking his arm through Tay's, Jordan started to haul her towards the airport exit with such enthusiasm that he nearly knocked Tay off her feet.

' Come on now, lil Tay-Tay! A quick stop at Starbucks and then were getting a taxi to Charlottenburg!'

' Charlotten-what?!' Tay grumbled, stumbling every now and then, trying to keep up with Jordans long feet. 

Jordan tutted and then muttered ' unculturised swine' under his breath, just loud enough for Tay to hear. 

Tay resisted the urge to knee him in the balls. Jordan could be such a pain in the ass some days! And the fact that Tay was stumbling around like a half eaten zombie while Jordan looked as fresh as a daisy after their ten hour flight did not lighten Tay's mood. I'm such a bitch when I'm tired, Tay thought to herself.

Tay's spirits rose a little bit when they stopped off at Starbucks. With the refreshing buzz of caffeine running through her viens, Tay felt somewhat more prepared to face the day ahead. While the brunnette was slumped in a seat, sipping her espresso, Jordan had hurried off into the airport to 'get something'. Ten minutes later he returned with a large carrier bag with the German flag on it. As he took a seat opposite Tay, he flung the bag on the table towards Tay, almost tipping over her drink. Jordan's face had a creepy, delighted smile plastered to it. 'I bought us something' he giggled, practically glowing with glee.

' What the hell are you up to, Eckes?' Asked Tay warily as she slowly opened the bag and peeked inside it. Her fears were confirmed. Jordan had visited the souvenir shop.

Inside the bag was a massive array of clothing, all sporting the German flag. As Tay took out all of the items slowly, she found two t shirts saying 'I love Berlin' on them, two baseball caps with the German flag, a Berling mug, a pair of German shorts, German flip flops and two pairs of sunglasses with the rims the same colour as the German flag. As Tay looked up from the massive collection, Jordan gave her a big toothy smile and said, ' Today, we are gonna be tourists, Miss Jardine!' 

Tay couldn't help but smile at Jordan's enthusiasm.

' Well good luck getting me to wear any of that stuff. I wanna keep my dignity, unlike you' Tay replied, pouting her lips.

' BUT TAAAAAAAAAAAAY!' whined Jordan, giving her puppy eyes, ' I spent so much money getting this shit! And look, and I even picked the right size t shirt for you, come on Tay, don't be such a bore!'
