*The next morning....*

Luke: *is up already, writing down lyrics*

Illust: *woke up, yawned n stretched, blushes as she remembered sleeping with Leo before slowly getting off the bed* Mornin', Luke

Luke: Morning, Illust.

Illust: *sees everyone r still asleep, n Tom is sleeping as well, meaning another driver took ovr* Watcha doing?

Luke: Writing lyrics

Illust: Making another new song again?

Luke: I always am. I got the melody in my head already. Just need a piano

Illust: Sweet. R u always tht hardworking, Luke?

Luke: Mostly. And I always dream 'em up.

Illust: Dream?

Luke: I dream myself at a piano, playing

Illust: Wow. Tht sounds dreamy, especially wen u look so good at the piano in real life already

Luke: That's why I was voted 2nd best male of the year.

Illust: *giggled* Who's the first?

Luke: *sighs* Robert Pattinson

Illust: *thought of him n remembered the Twilight movie* Ah, him. The guy who nvr washes his hair *giggled* I prefered him in Harry Potter

Luke: Still...at least I beat Johnny Depp

Illust: Cool. Bt he's a great actor tho. I've seen most of his movies wen i snuck into movie theatres bk then

Luke: Hehe. *gets out a portable dvd player*

Illust: *watches him do his thing*

Luke: *puts on POTC*

Illust: Wow~! *points at Orlando Bloom* Who's tht handsome man? *she has yet to watch POTC*

Luke: That's Orlando Bloom, he made his debut in 2001 in Lord of the Rings

Illust: Lord of the Rings...Lord of the Rings... *thought abt it bt nothing came up, since she was in the streets most of the time n nvr got the pleasure of watching much movies* Nope *shook her head* Dont recall

Luke: Group of travelers out to destroy a ring of power

Illust: *thought again n shook her head* Nope, dont ring a bell

Luke: How about this? *puts in a DVD from a boxset. It shows a New Yorker lady with a nasal voice* My favorite show ^^

Illust: *giggled at the laugh* She's funny

Luke: That's Fran Drechsher. She's the funniest woman on the planet

Illust: She's quite pretty *laughed at the quirk she made*

Luke: *Laughs at when she first arrives at the Sheffield mansion8

Illust: Why does she talk like tht? Does she talk like tht in real life as well?

Luke: naw, that's for the show.

Illust: *giggled* She reli is funny

*the rest of the crew started waking up frm Luke n Illust's laughing*

Anita: *yawns* Someone's sounding vry cheery

Luke: We're watching the Nanny

Anita: Ah, nice series. Nanny n Mr Sheffield r just so hilarious

Luke: I like the talking between Niles and CC

Anita: Tht's the thing I dont get. Why r they always fighting? Wht hv they got against each other?

Luke: It's just her attitude and all. I swear, there's an episode with a flashback of the 70s. You should've seen CC. She looks like that lead chick from Ugly Betty

Anita: *laughs* Tht's scary. I nvr reli got to watch all of it. TV wasnt much of a luxury to me bk then

Luke: *shrugs* to each his own

Illust: *stomach growl* I'm hungry. Where we stopping for breakfast?

Luke: Ihops!

*everyone agreed n clapped*

Driver: Ihops it is *drove towards tht direction*

Luke: I just hope we don't get mugged

Anita: Or bloody attacked by crazed fans. I just browsed thru my PDA online n found out tht they've started some sort of fanclub cult, mostly on "worshipping" Illust. Perverts

Luke: Tell me about it. Remember that stalker incident I had?

Anita: Oi vey, tht was horrifying

Illust: Stalker incident?

Luke: A young girl stalked me for a year and she almost killed me

Illust: Oh my, tht's terrible

Anita: Yeah, she's like a die-hard fan n all tht, stalking n stealing every little private things Luke had, evn his dirty laundry

Luke: She's under psychiatric care right now. *gets his shirt changed*

Illust: *sighed in relief* Thank goodness for tht

Driver: Land ho! *makes a turn to enter Ihops*

Luke: *gets himself ready by the door*

*the bus parked somewhere near the Ihops entrance*

Tom: *chked ard* Alright, everyone. Coast clear

Luke: *gets a cap and shades on, jumping out

Illust: *got dressed in her disguise too n followed behind hand in hand with Leo*

*the rest of the crew followed suite*

Luke: *waits out for a table*

Waiter: *not recognizing their disguise, led them to a table at the corner*

Luke: *sits himself by the window, looking over the window*

Illust: *was playing Tap Tap Revenge, competing with Leo as it can do a 2player, giggling along with him*

Waiter: *comes with the menus n waited for them to make an order*

Leo: *tries his best to beat her*

Luke: I would like the chocolate chip pancakes special with a hot chocolate with whipped cream

Illust: Me too, me too!

*everyone else made their orders as well*

Luke: *adjusts his shades a bit* Man, good thing we caught this place when it just opened

Anita: Yeah, or else it would've been horrifying to hv the fans n the paparazzi hounding us, n of course there's those who want to take advantage of our presence to make endorsements

Luke: That reminds me. I gotta do a commercial shoot for Nike.

Tom: Also ur needed for the commercial shoot for Coke

Luke: I thought it was for Pepsi

Tom: *chked the PDA* Oh, right, sorry. Got u mixed up with Illust's endorsement

Anita: Illust has an endorsement?

Tom: Just in last night. Coke asked if Illust could endorse Coke for them

Illust: I like Coke *grins*

Luke: *just shrugged and awaited for his order*

*a few moments later, everyone's order came in*

Illust: *cheered happily as the food came n paused the game to eat*

Leo: *puts his game away*

*after Luke led the prayers, everyone dug in*

Luke: *cuts through his pancakes and eats* Mmmm sweet

Illust: *almost gobbled hers*

Anita: Take it easy, luv

Illust: *looked at Leo's one n asked* Wanna try mine? *cut a piece n held it in front of Leo's mouth, wanting to feed him*

Leo: I'm good, but thanks *eats his meal*

Illust: *pouted a little*

Tom: *nudged Leo lightly n whispered* Wen a girl offers, dont be so quick to reject her *jerked his head at her*

Leo: Oh...sure

Illust: *smiled n fed him a piece*

Anita: *chuckled quietly at the scene*

Leo: Mmm!!!

Tom: *grins*

Luke: *finishes his meal and goes to his drink8

*the waiters talked in hushed tones on one side*

Luke: Everyone done?

*everyone nodded, drinking the last of their drinks*

Illust: *noticed one of the waitress making calls as if to tell her friends tht Luke was here* Uh-oh, we better split

Luke: Let's make like my godfather and beat it

Illust: Totally!

*the waiters n waitresses realized they hv been found n didnt bother to be secret as they screamed n chased aftr them, taking pics with their cameras n cellphones*

Luke: *Stops before getting onto the bus, doesn't want to disappoint them* Anyone got a camera? One to take of all of us?

*the waiteresses screamed n fought their way to pass their cameras to Luke*

Luke: Tom! Can you take a picture of the entire staff and I?

Tom: Sure, no big. *takes the camera n took their pic in front of Ihops entrance*

Luke: *shakes all their hands* Thank you! *heads onto the bus*

Luke: That's gotta be Adam Lambert. *turns it up. The song is Whataya want from me* He's my favorite American Idol singer

Illust: He sounds vry good *bobbed her head to the music*

Anita: He's the runner up for AI, bt personally I like Kris Allen. His singing is clean cut n sweet

Luke: I asked Michael that. He liked them both.

Illust: Papa Bubbles was still ard when they won?

Luke: Sure was.

Illust: *hummed along at the song*

Luke: *sings the song*

*the whole crew either hummed or sang along or making sound effects to match the beat of the instrument frm the song*

*The song ends pretty soon after*

Luke: So, what's the next city

Tom: Oregon of course

Luke: It's gonna be a while. *turns on the tv*
