Oslo, 3rd of October

„Oh my good, what the hell is this?" Hannah laughed out loud and pointed her finger at the sign Torstein was holding up. >Pirate Princess< was written in big letters on it. 

"I thought, since we're going to a Pirate Party we should stick to the theme right from the beginning", he winked at her and took her backpack. 

"Aw, now I feel stupid coming by plane, I should have captured a ship." 

"You are forgiven." 

He guided her out of the airport into the train station. "Did you had a decent flight?" 

"Don't worry, the one hour plane ride wasn't to hard." 

They entered the train to Oslo and it was crowded as hell, since it was morning and every passenger from the planes which arrived over night were all packed into the train. With their luggage as additional place robber, it was way to full. Torstein pulled Hannah in an edge of the wagon, so she didn't get lost or pushed to the side by an enthusiastic couple. 

"How have you last two weeks been?", she asked and grabbed him by the arm, as the train started to move and she didn't know where else she could get a hold on. The Norwegian reacted by pulling his right arm around her waist to give her hold while his left hand grabbed the bar above him, which she couldn't reach. 

"It was all right. Been to France for a couple of days, flew down to Spain for one of my sponsors and visited my parents the last few days." 

"You've been to three countries in two weeks...something feels wrong in my life now", Hannah laughed. She was excited about a change in her daily routine and liked the idea of a two-day-time-out. When they arrived at the main train station in Oslo, they followed the mass of people who had to change trains as well and where relieved, when they finally entered a train, which wasn't so full with people. Although Hannah has already been at Torsteins flat once, she wouldn't have found the way on her own (since she was either drunk or highly hungovered...). They relaxed the rest of the day, which meant a season of American Horror Story was running on the TV in the background while both of them did some office stuff. It turned out that half of Hannahs backpack consisted of books. Heavy books.  

"I swear this thesis is going to kill me one day", she said and put the books on the dinner table in the living room, where the Norwegian already spread the sell and production lists of AWSM on. "It looks unhealthy", he added smiling. "It is", she said and started her laptop. They worked quietly. Only the typing sound on a keyboard could be heard. 

"Can I ask you something?", Torstein said in the silence after a while. "What's up, Buttercup?" He looked at her confused. "Where did you got that from?" "From one of your Fanfics", she grinned. Torstein rolled his eyes. "Please, stop reading them." "I can't. They're intriguing. Do you know how many girls imagine themselves pregnant with your baby?" "Ew, don't tell me that!!" Hannah laughed. 

"What did you wanted to ask?" 

"Do you have an eyeliner with you?"

Preparing for the party was probably more fun than actually to attend the party. Torstein put on the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean and Hannah tried to put on eyeliner on him, but it seems that he didn't liked it, when someone came to close to his eyes. "It feels so weird!", he claimed, after Hannah complained about his struggle to sit still. They were in the bathroom, where Torstein sat on the edge of the bath tube, while the German was standing between his legs to put the make up stuff on his face. 

"Welcome to our world", she simply said and lay her hand on the right side of his face to keep it still. "Look to the ceiling", she ordered. "Think of pink elephants and red pandas."
