Everything seemed so surreal, the plane landing on the ground, me being surrounded by strangers, walking off the plane.

It just...wasn't what I expected to do today, you know; wake up in Canada, go to sleep in England. Sleep! I didn't have a place to sleep! I got to a phone as soon as I landed and was going to call my uncle, but somebody tapped my shoulder.

I turned around and saw a girl about my age, with blond hair and a smiling face.

"You're Ruby, right?"

"Um, yes, that's me"

"Pleased to meet you,"

She stuck out her hand,

"I'm Marianne, your cousin"

A cousin? From England?

Well, surprise, surprise.

"Hi Marianne, cousin from England"

Her accent was very beautiful, I'm sure we would get along, after all we are cousins...

Suddenly, a scream came from down the hall, we both turned in surprise and saw a sight that made me smile.

The Rolling Stones themselves were running down the hall with a ton of fans at their feet.

They were coming in our direction and Marianne let out a little squeak of surprise.

"It's The Rolling Stones!"

She sighed contently and stared at Mick as he ran. They were running and I was staring. Stoppit! Ruby! Don't stare!

Mick eyes roamed to the ceiling and suddenly, they were on me. Looking right at me, I was looking back; and blushing for sure.

"R-Ruby?"

Mick was close enough that I heard him gasp my name under his breath.

His eyes widened as he ran past,

"Ruby!"

He shouted the name directly at me and Brian looked over. Shivers went up my spine when he looked at me, then he smiled and they were gone.

Running down the corridor and out the door.

The fans followed, some shooting a wicked glance at me before their attention returned to The Stones.

"I have a feeling I'll like you Ruby"

Marianne turned toward me with a smile playing at her lips.

We walked together out the doors and saw many more fans roaming the streets.

"Is it always like this here?"

I kind of shouted over the screams as the little girls tried to find their runaway idols.

"Only when the big groups arrive back from a tour! But mostly with The Stones!"

She shouted as well to be heard and I nodded.

Suddenly, someone snatched my shoulder and my eyes widened in shock. Only about five minutes into my new home and I'm getting abducted!

I was pulled into a van and Marianne hopped on with me before the abductees could close the door.

I was pulled into a crushing hug. Hug?

Wait.

I looked up into Mick's eyes and he smiled again.

It seems I've been abducted by The Rolling Stones.

Marianne sucked in a small breath and looked around her at the other band members. "Oh no, she's not another one of them crazy birds is she?" Keith said as he eyes her wearily.

I was about to answer but Marianne beat me to it; "y-yes, I mean no, I'm Ruby's cousin"

Mick looked over at her before releasing me from his hug.

"Hey you, what was that for?"

I couldn't help asking.

"Oh, welcome to England Ruby, how'd you get here anyhow?"

"I was, fired, from my job, so I came out here"

Mick nodded and put his arm around me and I closed my eyes contently.

The drive wasn't that long, they were taking a little break from showbiz, about a week away from microphones and stages.

First the driver dropped off Bill and Charlie, then Keith. After that, it was just me, Brian, Marianne and Mick.

Marianne looked up after a couple of minutes staring out the small window.

"My flat is a couple of minutes from here actually, Ruby, your going to stay with me?"

"Sure"

Brian looked out the other window an announced that his house. wasn't far from here as well.

"Why don't me an' Brian walk you two fine ladies to your flat then?"

Mick said thoughtfully and we all agreed; the crowds of fans had thinned considerably an only a few older people walked the streets.

The driver stopped and we all piled out of the car, me dragging my suitcase along on the pavement. We all fell into line and Brian ended up beside me. He looked over and I smiled at him, he smiled back and looked down at his shoes.

Mick grabbed my hand and pulled me up to where he and Marianne were walking.

"How about I take you on a tour around town tomorrow Ruby? Would you like that?"

I chuckled to myself and nodded, "that would be wonderful, Mick"
