Star Girl // McFly

Thirteen

"Come on, Dougie!" Harry called out through the open window in Dougie's bedroom.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" Dougie called out from the living room, taking his oldest bass, a mint green Fender Stratocaster, off his shoulders and laying it down on his sofa.

Currently, McFly was working on writing their sixth album, and though they had tried many times in the past six years, they all felt they were in the right place now to continue their career as a band, and follow through their writing process with the release of the album.

"There's only going to be six more minutes of visibility!" Danny called.

"I'm coming, Danny!" Dougie called, rushing down the hallway.

"I told you three we shouldn't procrastinate." Tom sighed, and Dougie laughed, as he could visualize Tom shaking his head with a sense of fatherly disdain.

When Dougie entered his bedroom, he could see Harry through the large, open windows, hanging his upper body off the roof upside down.

"Get up here, mate!" He smiled, before disappearing back onto the roof. Dougie slipped through his window and climbed up onto his roof, as he had done many times before.

It was dark out, and though it was the English spring-time, the night air still dared to bite at the four boys on the roof a bit.

Tom was looking through the telescope when Dougie made his way onto the roof, with Danny and Harry looking beyond at the same sky, only with their naked eyes.

"Yup. There she is." Tom spoke. Danny and Harry looked to Dougie and smiled as Tom stepped away from the telescope, holding it in place. "Here you go, Doug."

Dougie stepped forward, taking the telescope from Tom's hands and looking through at the small red dot it was focused on in the ever-abundant sky.

Mars.

Dougie smiled to himself.

"That's your star girl." Harry spoke. "Only a couple million miles away."
