(Elizabeth's POV)

"News? What kind of news?" I inquired, confused.

"Well first of all, I'd like to tell you that we've decided to release your first track tomorrow. And second of all, I want you to get popular amongst people quickly. You should start using your social media accounts often from now on. Since you've already told the world that you're childhood friends with Louis Tomlinson, I say you join them on a concert in March. If you say yes, I'll even let you take your friend." Simon explained.

I blinked a few times, trying to process the words he had just said. I'll get to see Louis again, I'll get to meet Harry, Liam, Niall and Zayn! And I can bring Alexia along too!

"Yes, I'll do it!" I grinned, without thinking about it twice.

"Good. Now you better start packing, you're leaving in a week." he told. "Uh, but am I not supposed to go in March?" I asked. "You need to get to know the others so that the fans know you're all friends. They'll check out your music also." he explained. "Uh, okay. Thanks." I got up and slid out of the room.

~~~~~

"He said WHAT?! You're going where?! And I'm coming with you?!" Alexia was in an outburst of happiness and she was also now quite emotional.

"Yep, he totally said that, I'm totally going and you're totally coming along!" I laughed.

"Oh my god! Yes! Finally we can meet them!" she squealed, jumping onto me, pulling me in a tight hug. "Yeah!" I smiled.

We both got up after a few minutes, still laughing and squealing. We decided to start packing and we began with Alexia's stuff.

"Hey, should I take this? It could get warm, plus Asia is nearer to the equator." Alexia said showing me her pastel blue dress from yesterday. "Of course you should!" I agreed.

"You should take some sneakers or something, we'll be walking around at the airport and stuff like that." I told, flipping through a magazine.

"You're so unhelpful!" she whined, folding a bunch of shirts. "Here let me help you put this inside the suitcase." I leaned forward, grabbed some of her folded jeans and placed them in the suitcase.

"Wow, thank you so much." Alexia rolled her eyes, sarcasm in her voice. I began laughing and focused on the magazine.

Soon after Alexia was done with packing her stuff, we went to my room.

"If you're going to perform with them, I say you take something that's casual, not something too formal or girly. You've got a lot of these button up shirts, you should definitely take one." she stated looking at my wardrobe.

"Sure, just pass me the one which looks good!" I called, placing other clothes in my suitcase.

"Here ya go!" Alexia threw a blue plaid shirt in my direction.

"Oh, I love this one!"

"I love it too! Now you have to buy me one."

"What the heck?! Okay, I will." I rolled my eyes. I loved her, it was the least I could do.

Finally we finished with all the packing and we decided to go out for lunch.

"Why don't we go there?" I sang, pointing towards a cafe around the corner.

"Let's take a ride."

"Out in the cold air."

"I know the way."

"Why don't you go there with me?"

We both ended up laughing when we got into the cafe. It was really sweet, a calm aroma and it was warm.

We bought our coffee and some food and sat at an empty table.

"I'm glad you're not that famous yet." Alexia stated.

"And why's that?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Oh, you know. We don't have to deal with paparazzi." she said, sipping her drink. "Well, we can enjoy these days while we still can." I chuckled. She sent me a playful glare.

As we finished up with our lunch, we just roamed around the streets.

I looked around me, all of the shops and lights catching my eyes.

"OMG! Look at that! There's a guy singing!" Alexia smiled, pulling me with her.

I glanced in the direction she was pulling me to. It was like those small karaoke booth places. People had started gathering around and Alexia quickly pushed us past them to the front.

"Whoo!" we cheered as soon as the man finished with his song.

"That was amazing! Anyone else want to try?" the guy at behind the counter asked.

"We do!" Alexia raised our hands. The man smiled gesturing for us to join him behind the counter.

"Okay, choose whatever song you want and begin singing." he said sitting down on his chair placed a little far to the right from us.

"I say we do What Makes You Beautiful." I said. Alexia nodded her head in approval.

Soon the music started and we were dancing along to the beat.

"You're insecure. Don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or. Don't need makeup, to cover up. Being the way that you are is enou-u-ugh." I began

"Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you-ou!" Alexia continued.

By the time we reached the chorus, everyone was singing and dancing with us and it was really fun.

"Hi! Aren't you Elizabeth Henderson?" a girl around 12 asked. "Yes, yes I am." I answered, shocked. "I love the way you and your friend sang. I liked it even more because it was my favourite song!" she explained.

"Oh really? You like One Direction?" I inquired. "I love One Direction! Anyway, can I get a photo with you, maybe even an autograph?" she asked. "Sure!" I smiled.

She stood between me and Alexia and put her arms around us. We all smiled for the camera as her mom took a photo.

"Hey, what's your name? I'm Alexia by the way." Alexia asked as I signed an autograph book the girl passed me. "I'm Helen. And thank you for taking your time out for me." she smiled. "No problem. It was fun meeting you!" I grinned.

"Thank you guys!" we called as we were leaving from the crowd.

"That was so fun!" I laughed.

"Yeah, it was! Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we do stuff like this more often before we leave. I mean, it would increase your fan following. And look you already have a bunch of fans. Oo, maybe you should tweet about this too!"

"I should. Let me just do that!" I took out my phone and opened the Twitter app. I quickly typed in about the karaoke and Helen.

"There." I said. "Good, I bet Simon's gonna be happy." she chuckled. "Of course he is. Popularity is key." I said trying to sound like Simon, but we both ended up laughing hysterically.

~~~~~

The next three days were extremely fun and somewhat emotional. My new track, Just Being Me was released and so far people really liked it. These days were emotional because we never really left the country and this was our first time to do so.

I was double checking the things I had packed, when there was a knock on my door.

"Ugh! How many times do you have to check up on your stuff? It's all still there." Alexia groaned, pointing towards my suitcase.

"Hi. How are you? What do you want?" I asked, sarcasm all over my tone. "Oh, yeah, sorry. I was wondering if we should order something for dinner. I'm starving and we don't really have any food, but cereal and milk." she shrugged.

"Yeah, let's order from McDonald's." I nodded. She smiled and disappeared to who knows which room of the house.

"Food's here!" Alexia shouted from the hallway. "Coming!" I called back, getting up from my position.

"Hahaha! What the heck is he doing?!" I laughed, tears almost forming up. "I don't know, but it's hilarious!" Alexia was rolling on the floor. We were watching YouTube videos and they were pretty funny.

"We should really get some sleep, we have to leave early tomorrow. Sort of." Alexia got up from her bed to change into her pajamas. I stayed at home today, so I was already in my night clothes.

I said goodnight and left to go sleep.


The next morning I had gotten up a few hours before we had to leave. So I decided to have breakfast.
I was eating my cereal when Alexia walked into the kitchen.

"Morning." she yawned, scratching her head. "Good morning! Here I'll get you some cereal." I said, giving her a bowl. "Thanks." she mumbled.

After breakfast we both went to take a shower and get ready.

I quickly washed my hair and body and dried myself. I changed into some dark blue jeans and a black shirt with a leather jacket. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail.

I grabbed my suitcase from my room and took it outside to Skye's car. She was nice enough for offering to take us to the airport and drop us off.

"Is there anything else?" she asked, closing the trunk of her Range Rover. "Nope. Alexia's here?" I asked. "Yep, already in." Skye smiled. I nodded and quickly rushed back to lock the door.

Once that was done, I sat in the backseat and pulled the seatbelt on. I stared out the window for almost half of the ride.

It's been a long time since I came to the airport. Last time I did was to drop Louis off. That was one emotional day.

"We're here, girls!" Skye informed, parking the car. We all got off and took our luggage inside. I was really glad that the paparazzi didn't find us today. Ever since the song release, they've been following me almost everywhere. No one knew of our little trip except for a few people and I didn't want anyone finding out until we actually got to Tokyo.

"Thanks for bringing us here. It means a lot!" Alexia said hugging Skye. "No problem, girls. It's the least that I could do." she now pulled me into a hug. "Bye! Thanks again!" we waved as we dropped off our luggage and boarded the plane.

I had a tingly feeling inside of me. I was so excited and anxious to meet him and the rest of the boys. I was filled with happy thoughts since the morning and I couldn't wait to see a new country. It would all be so amazing!
