*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*

I got woken up by the familiar sound of one of my brothers banging on my bedroom door - probably Sebastian, as Emerson wouldn't be out of bed yet and Remi is most likely trying to wake up my sleepy twin.

"Aaliyah! Time to wake up the bus will be here soon you gotta get up." Yep, Seb, Rem would've burst in by now.

"Nooooo...." I whine, trying to go back to sleep, however hearing the door opening - now knowing that he will for sure not leave me alone until I'm out of my warm and comfy bed my love of sleep is one of the many things I share with Emerson, along with our love of art and teaming with Remi against Seb.

"Yes, come on, get out of bed, before I trade wake-up with Remington, come on, all you have to do is get up and ready, all of your bags are by the door downstairs ready, and you and Emerson can go back to sleep on the journey." He did have a point, last night I made sure that everyone's bags were packed and by the door.

You see, the boys are very likely to forget something when in a rush, so to save everyone the headache, we double and triple-checked everything last night so that it is less stressful this morning.

"Go wake Em, I'll get ready, just give me five minutes." I grumble to my eldest brother, you see, Seb is the oldest of the four of us and for a majority of our childhoods he has also doubled as our father figure, then there is Remington who is nearly two years younger than Seb, then there is Emerson and me, the twins or 'Double Trouble' (as Seb likes to call us), Emerson is the older twin by three hours (he won't let me forget that fact).

I honestly feel really bad for our mother with Emerson and I's birth, not only because it took so long, but because she was almost given a caesarean section (c-section) because it took so long to be born after Em.

I heard Seb sigh and leave my room, not closing the door after himself, because he knows I'll try to go back to sleep if he closed the door, as I have done many times in the past.

I sigh while pulling down my covers, swinging my legs to the side of my bed and begrudgingly get up, grabbing the clothes I set on my dresser last night, on my way to the bathroom.

I closed the door once I was in the bathroom, doing my routine, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair (I showered last night), spraying deodorant and dressing in my long skirt with a belt and a tank top that's tied at the front. I also put on some jewellery that the boys and I have gotten through the years, such as our Royale rings, a couple of bracelets and a coin pendant necklace that matches Emerson's.

Once I finished, I make my way out of the bathroom (grabbing my toothbrush and toothpaste on the way out), stopping by my room quickly to grab my shawl and sandals as well as my phone, charger, earphones and 'Fellowship of the Ring' book that I am currently re-reading for around the thousandth time, once I have all of that, I make my way to Emerson's room.

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*

I knocked lightly on the door frame, seeing my twin brother sitting up on his bed, just putting his shoes on, his usual 'pirate' hat sitting beside him on the bed.

"Morning Em." I greeted him, as I walked over to him, putting the hat on his head for him, both of us smiling at each other, as we both knew that neither of us particularly want to be awake right now.

"Morning Liyah, guessing Seb woke you while Rem was pulling me out of my bed?" He questioned as he stood, going over to his dresser, picking up the eyeshadow palette that both of us and Rem share when we have to do our make-up (or we just feel like it) and started doing his eyeshadow.

"Yeah, but we don't have anything to do until we get there for set up, so we should be able to nap for a few hours in the bus, say do you know where my wide-brim hat has gone? I swear I put it on my dresser last night." I question, raising an eyebrow at him through the mirror, knowing it was either him or Remi that has my hat, Seb has learnt to leave my hats alone.

"It's in Rem's room, he was trying to tie a smaller sash around it, so that according to him, the both of us would match more." Em said, still doing his makeup.

"Okay." I said, walking over and using the palette as well but reversing Em's makeup, where he puts the darker shades on his lower lid, I put them on the top lid.

We both finished at the same time, both using wipes to get rid of the excess from our fingers, even though we could've used makeup brushes, we just prefer not to and just use our fingers.

We made our way out of the bedroom after making sure Em had his phone, books, sharpies, sketchbook, earphones and charger, my sketchbook already being in my backpack downstairs.

As we go past Remi's room, we go in, me grabbing my hat that was on his bed a new dark blue sash tied around it and Emerson gave the palette to Remi so that he could do his makeup as well, I also swiped his glitter on the way out of his room, as he usually does that last anyway.

Making our way downstairs, we both put the rest of our things into our backpacks, I, put my hat on my head and keep the highlight in my hand, and walked over to the mirror we have in the hallway to put on some highlight.

As I was finishing, Seb came into the hallway, the last bits and bobs of his in his arms (his charger, earphones, etc) including his Nietzche book, also placing them in his bag.

"I still don't understand why you have that book, you've had it for ages and I've never seen you read it." I said to Seb, blending the glitter slightly.

"You don't even understand Nietzche, so why do you have that book?" Emerson questioned Seb while sitting on the sofa.

"No one understands Nietzche,..." Seb replies, avoiding the question, both Em and I then crossing our arms, giving him our identical look that says you avoided the question but we are tired, "... How people don't get that you're twins is unbelievable." He finished seeing the identical look from us.

"Probably because Bambi took after mum, while Emerson has always done his own thing, most people would probably assume they would do everything the same, the main thing they've always agreed on is sleep and art." Remi said, walking into the hallway, and putting his final things into his bag as well.

I pass Remi the glitter and walk over to Emerson, sitting next to him on the sofa, we only needed to wait for the bus now, it's due here in the next ten/twenty minutes anyway, so it's not that long of a wait, I only hope that no fights break out between my brothers for at least the first night, though knowing what Em and Remi are like when they're bored, that hope would be fruitless.

"I am saying this now, please, please for the sake of the crew's sanity, no arguments for at least the first night, that's all I'm asking for." I say looking between my three older brothers, who then look between themselves as well.

"We'll try, Liyah." They say in unison, laughing at their synchronisation.

"And it's just set up today, ready for tomorrow, so we can relax a bit more tonight before VIP and the set tomorrow." Seb said as his phone went off and a honk of a horn was heard outside, we all made our way to our bags and started to load them on the bus, also loading their instruments and some of Seb's suits into the trailer.

Once all of the bags were out of the house, I locked the door and made my way to the bus, putting the key into my bag that was on my shoulder on the way.

We all climbed in, Seb shutting the door behind him, we all went through, choosing our bunks, and placing our bags in the ones we chose.

Remington chose the biggest, Emerson chose the one above Remi, Seb got the one next to Remi and I chose the one across from Emerson.

We kept the other top bunk next to Emerson empty, Emerson and I putting our sketchbooks and art utensils in there for the meantime.

The driver Jason, chose the bunk below Seb for when he needs to sleep, leaving just the five other bunks on my side of the bus for the others that will meet us at the venue later, Ashley (the tour manager) will be getting the bunk where Em and my sketchbooks are when she joins us in a week or so (until then my brothers and I are splitting the jobs that she will be responsible for).

So, Jenny (A/N; I'm using Jenny and Andrew as I don't know much about the others who were with the boys) has the bunk below mine (I sent her a message that I've saved her bunk) and leaving the others to choose theirs from the remaining bunks when they meet up with us later.

"I am going to nap for a bit." Emerson and I say in unison, immediately heading for our bunks, us both using the bottom of Seb and Jenny's bunks to give us the boost into the bunks we chose.

Seb and Remi just look at each other chuckling as we both pop our heads out of the bunks and look towards our brothers.

"Do not wake us up for at least three hours." I say, Em nodding his head in agreement.

"Okay, we won't wake Double Trouble for three hours, have a nice nap you two." Seb replies raising his hands in surrender, Rem doing the same, while still smirking at the pair of us.

After that, I close the curtain of my bunk, hearing Emerson doing the same. I take off my hat and put it at the end of my bunk, then lay under the covers falling asleep easily - I've always been able to sleep anywhere, the problem was that much like Em, most of our ideas for the art we do or my photography come to us at weird times, like last night, for example, I couldn't fall asleep until five am, and Seb woke me up at nine, giving me around only four hours of sleep.

These thoughts started to drift away as I was falling into my land of dreams, where my visions take full effect in my head, as well as unfortunately the nightmares and demons reside.

I could feel myself falling deeper into my unconscious mind and my other senses turning away from reality and into my imagination.

~Time skip: three hours~ (brought to you by the author not knowing what to put for Aaliyah's dreams)

*WHACK!*

"Aaliyah! Time to get up now, it's time to set up." Sebastian said, pulling my mind back to reality, though I was still very groggy from my sleep.

"Fuck you!" I grumbled, turning away from him, and pulling the blanket over my head, I could feel the tension of Seb pulling on the blanket and patting my back, still trying to wake me up.

"Come on, it's been three hours, time to get up!" I heard Remi yell near me, meaning they were trying to wake us both at the same time, that is a big mistake.

"Fuck! You!" Emerson and I replied, suddenly I couldn't feel my bunk anymore, instead I was in what I assumed to be Seb's arms, as he put me on my feet, I glared at him for waking me up so rudely.

I immediately acted like I was going to help them wake Em, by climbing to his bunk, Emerson knew what was about to happen - we have done this before, I still wonder why Seb and Rem ever believe that either of us is just going to wake up like that.

I just lay down in Emerson's arms and the both of us started to fall back to sleep, when Rem realised what was happening and immediately started to pull on Em's foot, jolting us with each tug, the only thing stopping Em from falling out is me holding onto him.

"Alright, we'll get up!" Emerson yelled, now pissed off with our brothers - I was too, to be honest, we both like our sleep, thank you very much.

So, now our brothers had both of us twins pissed off, and both of us being pissed off with either of our brothers is not a good thing, the last time it happened, both Em and I started a fight two vs one against Seb, leading to all of us having quite a few bruises for about a month or two - Seb being worse off than Em and I.
