One look, and Camila knows that she's Shawn's daughter. There was no question about it. From her curly locks to the sassy attitude, there was no mistaking her. Skyla Rae Anne Mendes, was a Mendes through and through. Living her life on the road, along for the ride on her Dad's world tours was where she belonged.

She fills the hole in the touring team that they didn't even know they had. Sure, having a five year old on tour with a bunch of boys was rough. The things Shawn requested because she was with him made for more work, but at the end of the day everyone loved Skyla Mendes more than they loved her Dad.

"Shawn, really?" Cez asks as Shawn turns to speak to Mike about his solo.

"Okay, so if we have to break after Mutual I want you to go into a solo." He explains, waiting for Mike to scribble down this scenario. "Like literally go all Tommy Lee on their asses, leave them exhausted from your energy."

"Okay and what's the plan if we need to break after Bad Rep, or Fallin, or Youth?" Cez remarks.

Zubin turns and shakes his head at the tour manager, "Were you not at the meeting last night? We literally went over it all."

Cez rolls his eyes, frustrated with the extra amount of work Shawn is requesting from the band. It adds for more situations of failure and mishaps. The band on the other hand? All hands on deck. They understand Shawn's need to make sure that he can get off stage at any moment in time, in the rare case scenario that Skyla might need him.

"Daddy!" Skyla cheers, running from the wings where Brian had her, onto the stage to her Dad.

"Princess," He grins, picking her up and resting her on his hip. "How was lunch?"

"It was so yummy, Uncle Brian let me have ice cream."

"But you ate all your lunch first right?"

"Sure," She giggles, looking at Brian to make sure she answered the way he coached her to. The thumbs up she receives from the redhead makes her proud that she remembered.

Shawn rolls his eyes, turning back to Cez and the band. "I just wanna go through like a practice of what could happen if I'm needed after any song, okay?"

The band nods, getting set.

"Okay I guess to do this in a fast motion kind of way, let's just play the last few chords of each song and pretend I'm running off and transition to each time block."

Boss Shawn is kind of hard to take seriously when Skyla is tugging at his curls, trying to fix his hair up. Shawn moves her around, hauling her up onto his broad shoulders so he can have both hands free to direct people around. Skyla now has full reign to his curls, pulling them back and watching as they flop back into place.

The boys snicker as Shawn starts to hum the last parts to Lost in Japan. When the band doesn't follow he turns to see them all chuckling.

"Yeah yeah, she's cute, but we've got work to do. I want this figured out and perfect before the show tonight." He snaps the boys back to reality.

"Sorry." They all mumble.

They start going through every song, Zubin taking the time block, Eddie taking another, Mike after one, and then Dave. It runs smooth, and in any case scenario he knows the boys would pick up and take over when needed.
