Melbourne Concert

Written by Nessa and Tegan

Rebekah and Millsy

"Please give it up for your two favourite Idols, Rebekah LaVauney and Robert Millsy Mills!" Andrew G announced, standing with James Matheson.

Rebekah waved as she came onstage, walking down the stairs from the higher platform. She was wearing a short grey skirt, with little pleats in it, with a black top which fell off one shoulder. She wore black knee high zipped boots, and her hair was straightened and her fringe fell over one eye.

Millsy walked across the stage and took her hand, leading her upstage and they waved at the crowd.

"Hey there, Melbourne!" Millsy yelled.

"It's good to be back!" Rebekah said, grinning.

Millsy ducked as a g-string came flying his way, then he picked it up and handed it to Rebekah.

"Thank you, Rob."

"Anytime, Bek, anytime."

Rebekah was drawn into a hug by James and Andrew, and Millsy, feeling left out and bored, shouted "STACKS ON!" into his mike and joined the hug.

"So you guys are back again, looking good, looking very good," James said, disentangling himself from the array of limbs.

"Thank you," Rebekah and Millsy said in unison.

"How's the tour been going? Well, we know, coz we've been along for the ride, but for all the people here who haven't followed you... how has it been?" Andrew asked.

"It's been going really well," Rebekah said.

"Awesomely," Millsy put in.

"I hear... and I saw backstage, that you are also travelling with some other favourite idols, Mr Levi Kereama!" James paused and waited for the applause to die down.

"And Miss Kelly Cavouto! How has that been?"

"Yeah, it's been great, it's always good to see old mates," Millsy said, nodding.

"Well, we won't hold you up any further... get ready Melbourne, it's Bek and Millsy!"

Andrew and James ran off stage, while Millsy took Rebekah's hand and the music started.

"I love watching you, you know
When you're smiling at me like that
It makes me get all hot inside
I want you all the time..."

Rebekah pulled away from Millsy and went to the opposite side of the stage, touching hands with the people who were pressed up against the security fence, cheering.

"A smile from you can stop my heart
And I know just what you want
No need to ask boy, here I am
Take me as you please."

Millsy walked over to Rebekah.

"Baby, take it off real slow
I wanna watch you dance for me."

Rebekah sang at the same time, their voices threading in and out of each others in harmony.

"I'll dance for you, baby boy
Just don't stop touching me."

Millsy took Rebekah's hand and led her over to the other side of the stage, twirling her around when they reached the middle, dancing suggestively.

"Because this is purely physical
And we're not in this for love
This feels so good inside
So touch me again, once more please baby

Because this is purely physical
And we're not in this for love
This feels so good inside
So touch me again, once more please baby

And if this were simply emotional
We wouldn't feel the way we do
We're not gonna worry bout anything
Just touch me, one more time baby..."
they sang.

They finished and pulled apart.

"That was a very condensed version," Millsy commented.

"Very," Rebekah agreed.

"Yeah, that was our new single, in case you didn't already know," Millsy said.

"It's called `Physical', please buy it, we need the money! Ok, so I shall bid you all farewell, and hand it over to Rebekah, shall I?"

~*~*~*~

A little over an hour later, Rebekah and Millsy had basically finished the concert, but were supposed to do another song separately, then do a duet. Rebekah was up first. She went and sat on the stool in the middle of the stage.

"I thought we might slow it down a little with my last song. So here we go, if you would, please, John?"

The music started and Rebekah closed her eyes for a moment, then began to sing.

"Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect..."

~*~*~*~

Rebekah and Millsy walked offstage and gratefully accepted their water bottles.

"That was awesome!" Millsy said, before taking a long swig of water.

"Twas," Rebekah agreed.

OOC: "Perfect" * Simple Plan


Octavian, Demetria & Jonothon

"Bek! Smashing as always, darling!" Octavian announced as he pounced her and hugged her.

"Calm, Tavvie, calm. Do stop drooling, it's not worthy of you," Demetria scolded gently.

"Brilliant performance, Rebekah, Robert."

"Tav, hands orf."

Jonothon moved in after his friends, hands stuck in his pockets as Octavian backed away, bowing slightly from the waist.

"Was brill, luv."


Rebekah, Millsy, Levi and Bobby

Rebekah wrapped her arms around Jono and kissed him gently.

"Merci, all of you, for coming," she said softly.

"Why, thank ya, Demetria," Millsy replied.

"Hey guys," Levi greeted, putting his arm around Millsy's shoulders.

"He loves me!" Millsy cooed.

"I'm so hyped, I can't believe it's over, hey?"

"It was rocking," Bobby announced, nodding.

"A true hit. However, I was disappointed by the fact you didn't strip."

"Me, Bek or Millswah?" Levi asked.

"Eh, I'm not fussed who. I wanted nudity!"

Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"I missed you all... with the slight exception of Bobby."

Bobby pouted.

"Not fair."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jnothon kissed her back gently.

"Missed yer too, luv."

"Oh, did he ever. It's sickening to see a man so emasculated," Octavian said solemnly.

"We really should check to see if he still has his balls."

"Shove off."

"I agree with BObby. No nudity, very disappointing," Demetria sighed.

"Not even partial nudity."


Rebekah, Millsy and Bobby

Rebekah leant against Jono slightly.

"I'm gonna go harrass Kel," Millsy said, then disappeared.

"Nudity, Bek... nudity is good. It's good to be one with nature," Bobby said, nodding.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon put his arm around her waist.

"Give it a rest, Bobby..."

"But why?" Octavian asked.

"SHOW US YOUR TITS, BEK!"

"Oh, do hush," Demetria said.

"I like having a living brother..."


Levi, Rebekah and Bobby

"So, after party, yay or nay, Rebekah Lauren?" Levi asked.

Rebekah shrugged.

"You guys feel like partying?"

"Do elephants have trunks?" Bobby asked.

"I'll take it that Bobby would like to," Levi replied.

"Hell yeah baby!"


Octavian, Demetria & Jonothon

"Shake it, sugar, shake it," Octavian agreed, singing and doing a dance move with his hips.

"Shake it like a polaroid picture!" Demetria finished off.

"Why not? Let's see what the Convict Colony has to offer."

"I don't care either way," Jonothon said.


Millsy, Rebekah, Levi and Bobby

A little less than an hour later, they were all at Millsy's house, hanging outside by the pool.

Millsy ran by and grabbed Rebekah, slinging her over his shoulder. He held her over the pool.

"No, do it and die, Robert!" Rebekah yelled, laughing.

Millsy put her down and she held his arm and pretended to push him into the pool.

"Don't fall!"

She smirked and went back over to Jono.

Levi walked up to Demetria.

"Feel like a dance, Dem?"

Bobby, meanwhile, was having an in depth conversation with Kelly.


Jonothon & Demetria

Jonothon put his arm around Bek's waist.

"So, luv."

Demetria smiled, getting up from her seat.

"I would be delighted, Levi."


Rebekah, Millsy, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah turned and kissed Jono gently.

"I missed you."

Millsy grabbed Bobby and Octavian and went to show them his toilet. The one with the walls that were covered completely with pictures of naked women. His favourite toilet.

Levi took Demetria's hand and led her out where a bunch of other people were dancing.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon kissed her back.

"Missed yer more."

Octavian chuckled.

"Ah, your cultured dignity astounds me, Millsy."

Demetria smiled at Levi, the small diamond earrings in her ears flashing as she moved her head to the music, hips swaying. She kept her hand lightly in Levi's grasp, dancing with him.


Rebekah, Millsy, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah led Jono over to some seats and perched down on one.

"How was life without me? Did you go back to the mansion or stay in our place?"

Millsy giggled.

Bobby was in awe.

"I'm... oh, I better not do this to my bathroom, Julie wouldn't be too impressed."

Levi danced next to her, one hand on her hip, looking like he'd been born to dance. He chatted idly to Lauren, who was dancing with Matt.


Jonothon

"Bit of one, little of the other."

Jonothon leant in to grab another kiss.

"Life wivvout yer was 'orrid."

"Jubes would help us do it to the mansion bathrooms," Octavian said.

"Except we'd have to be very careful after not to be caught by Logan for corrupting his Half Pint."

"So, what is it like, this whole musician...thing?" Demetria inquired, waving a hand airily.


Rebekah, Millsy, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah kissed Jono again gently.

"It's been way too long," she said softly.

"But I'll be coming home in a few days. There's some press stuff that has to be done."

Millsy chuckled.

"Hmmmm," Bobby said, thinking it over.

Levi shrugged.

"Has it's ups and downs, I guess."


Jonothon, Octavian and Demetria

"Well, damn. And 'ere I was h'expecting yer home tonight..."

Jonothon nuzzled her neck.

"You do have to meet our Jubilation Lee," Octavian said to Millsy.

"Darling Jubes. Little girls shouldn't have such devious minds and foul mouths. Which I say is Logan's fault, though not in his hearing, of course. Think about it, Bobby. We could make it a lasting monument to our days at Mutant High."

"But doesn't everything?" Demetria said lightly.

"What are you doing after this?"


Rebekah, Millsy, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah kissed Jono gently again.

"I thought I was too, but Dicko told me this morning that it was not so. Less than a week, then I'm home. Just in time for another check up with Dr McCoy."

Millsy nodded as he led them back outside, only to be caught in a huge hug from Kelly.

"Nah, I think I'll be avoiding Logan, specially after I heard he actually did get Queer Eyed," Bobby said.

"Tonight? Probably drink too much and crack here, before making Bek talk me out of doing a nudie run with Millsy," Levi said.

"Business as usual. What about you?"


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Well, that's good at least."

Jonothon picked up her hand and squuezed it gently.

"Yes, this is true," Octavian said.

"And he didn't kill anyone. I find that amazing."

Demetria smiled.

"Maybe I should talk to Bek about not talking you out of the nude run...but I have no particular plans tonight. Dance. Perhaps drink."


Rebekah, Millsy, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah entwined their fingers and leant over to kiss Jono's nose.

"I can't wait to be home."

Millsy grabbed Kelly's hand and giggling, they went to get some more alcohol.

Bobby nodded and grabbed a beer from the esky.

"I'd love to be Queer Eyed... how fun would that be? You could try and top Kyan and Jai!"

Levi chuckled.

"Well, there's no perhaps about it, beautiful. Millsy has a rule, unless pregnant or unable to, drinking is a must. So come along."

He pulled her over to another esky.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"I can't wait fer yer to be home."

Jonothon leant his forehead against hers, looking into her eyes.

"Oh, no, darling, I thought you knew by now. If I'm with a male lover, I much prefer to bottom. And you also know I'm very good at it."

Octavian ran his fingers through his hair, smiling faintly as he looked at Bobby.

"But anyway...where are the drinks?"

"Ah, but you haven't seen me when I drink. I get silly. And giggle."

Demetria looked at Levi through her golden fringe.

"So, obviously, I'll have to trust you with my honour if I do."


Rebekah, Bobby, Levi and Millsy

Rebekah smiled at him, and let her fingers brush over his cheek.

"I can't wait either."

Bobby chuckled and pointed to an esky.

"Drink, be merry."

Levi smiled.

"I promise not to let you do anything too silly. Unless I'm too drunk."

Millsy walked over to Dem and Levi and jumped on Levi's back.

"Hello, Leeeevi, Demetria!"

"Hey, Roberto."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Mmm, I love yer, pet."

Jonothon kissed her.

"Yer've got such wicked eyes..."

"For tomorrow we die?" Octavian quipped.

He opened the esky and got out a drink.

"Want anything, Bobby?"

"A noble promise," Demetria said, picking out a bottle of some mixer.

"What are you doing, Millsy?"


Rebekah, Bobby, Millsy and Levi

Rebekah smiled.

"Wicked? Me? Never."

Bobby held his beer up.

"I'm good."

Millsy bit Levi's shoulder.

"Biting Le-boy."

"Ow!" Levi exclaimed.

"Be-ek! Millsy's biting me again!"

"AM NOT!"


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Wicked, but lovely."

Jonothon kissed her.

"A fallen angel."

"So you are," Octavian laughed.

"All the time, in fact."

Demetria looked amused.

"Why, does he taste good? I should investigate...but I think I'm not quite drunk enough yet."


Rebekah, Bobby, Levi and Millsy

Rebekah smiled.

"Damn straight. And don't you forget it."

She looked over at Millsy, Levi and Demetria.

"I should go break up the biting," she said, hopping up and pulling Jono to his feet, leading him over to the group.

"Why thank ya," Bobby replied.

Levi shook Millsy off his back.

"He tastes yummy, doesn't he, Bek, Kel? Loz? Matt? Someone back me up here!" Millsy said.

"Can't say I've ever bitten him," Rebekah replied, helping Millsy to his feet.

"Don't know what you're missing," Matt put in, twirling Lauren and himself over.

"This just keeps getting more disturbing," Levi replied.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Oh, I won't forget."

Jonothon watched the proceedings with an amused eye.

"You're welcome, BObby," Octavian said gravely.

"No, disturbing is Tavvie," Demetria said.

"This is just odd."


Millsy, Bobby, Rebekah and Levi

Millsy and Kelly darted off again, giggling, and moments later, the Australian Idol CD was playing.

"This is such a good song!" Millsy exclaimed, turning up "Dirty Girl", his song.

Bobby started wiggling, and pulled Octavian to join him in his wiggling dance.

Rebekah groaned.

"Why are we friends with him?"

Levi shrugged.

"Beats me."

"Coz I ain't gonna want somebody elses dirty girl on me!
Girl you're bugging me!
Sure enough you're always busy pushing me!"
Millsy sang, twirling Kelly around.

"Shoot him," Matt said.

"I'll find a gun."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"I'm not friends wiv 'im."

Jonothon looked at Bek.

"Why are yer friends wiv 'im? Either of 'em?"

Octavian chuckled and danced with Bobby.

Demetria laughed.

"I'm a good shot. Do you want a hurtful, crippling or fatal shot?"


Millsy, Rebekah, Bobby and Levi

Millsy flipped the songs onto Rebekah's.

"I hate you," Rebekah said.

"You lurve me!"

He grabbed her hand and started to dance with her, giggling.

"At least look like you're enjoying it. The more you fake it, the quicker I'll let you go!"

Bobby grabbed Lauren and pulled her in for a wiggle session too.

Levi chuckled.

"Crippling."

"Nooooo!" Millsy protested.

"Bek, don't let them hurt me!"


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon moved in to remove Bek from Millsy, eyes dangerous.

"Or yer could let go and not walk away wiv a broken arm, *mate," the telepath snarled.

Octavian bopped and wiggled to the music, smiling.

"Or you could hit and run him, Dem."

"Oh! Oh, yes I could..."

Demetria looked evil. But still hot.

"Hit and run teleport. Garunteed to make anyone lose their cookies in under ten 'ports."


Millsy, Rebekah and Levi

"Eeeeeep!" Millsy said, running away.

Rebekah laughed and kissed Jono gently.

"Feel like crashing at my hotel for a bit?" she asked, smiling faintly.

Levi chuckled again, before jumping up and down.

"Yo yo yo Yolandeeeeee!"

Yolanda waved as she let herself in the side gate.

"Hey Levi baby!"


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Sounds like a good idea ter me..."

Jonothon toko her hand in his.

"'Ow do we get out?"

"Oh! Cladestine leaving of a couple! Quick, point, stare and whisper!"

Octavian waved his hands and pointed at Jonothon and Bek. Demetria giggled, and then glanced at the girl walking up.


Rebekah and Levi

Rebekah went over to Levi and he handed her his car keys, and she kissed his cheek.

"Catch ya tomorrow, Le-boy."

"Take care of my baby, Bek," Levi replied.

Rebekah saluted and then lead Jono out the front to the car, pausing to hug Yolande. She unlocked Levi's car.

"I'll drive?"

Yolande came over and was swept up in a hug by Millsy, before he relinquished hold and she was pounced on by Matt and Levi.

"Hey!"

"Yolandeeeeee we missed you!"

Yolanda chuckled and disentangled herself from the hug, resting against Matt.

"Hey, I'm Yolande," she said to the New York people.

"You can call her Yollie," Levi said.

"No, you can't. He's making that up."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon got in the passenger seat.

"Fine by me if you drive."

Octavian waved and smiled.

"Octavian, call me Tav. Or Tavvie. Or sexy British boy."

"Ignore him, we all do. Demetria. Most people call me Dem. And I'm supposedly related to him."

"Hey, three nurses, a doctor and Mother and Daddy dearest can't be wrong. FAMILY BONDING MOMENT!"

Octavian leapt on Demetria to hug her.

"TAVVIE, GET OFF!"


Rebekah, Levi and Bobby

Rebekah drove out of Millsy's street and headed for her hotel.

Matt laughed and sat down on the nearby seats.

Yolande moved and leant against Levi, stealing his beanie and putting it on.

"Ye-ah, I'm Levi."

"You're not as hot as me."

Bobby poked Octavian's side.

"Don't bully your sister."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon slid his hand across her lap.

"How long until we get to this hotel?"

"But, listen to the noises she makes. It's so amusing!"

Octavian picked up Demetria, who kicked at him and squealed in shock as she was suddenly upside down over his shoulder.

"OCTAVIAN FELIX EDGERTON-SMYTHE, put me down this instant!"

"Ok, that was loud. In my ear."

"I can scream louder, if you want," Demetria said sweetly.


Rebekah and Bobby

"Not long," she assured him.

She turned into the next street.

Bobby chuckled.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonoton slid his fingers over her gently through her pants.

"Oh, good."

Octavian turned to look at Bobby. Demetria's hair swung wildly and she yelped.

"Oh, I feel unwell...Tavvie, put me down!"

He let her slip and she pushed against his back, trying to reduce the distance between her and the ground.

"TAVVIE!"

"What? You said to put you down."


Rebekah and Bobby

Rebekah bit her lip.

"Unless you're planning on us having an accident, I'd stop for now."

Bobby caught Demetria's head before it hit the ground.

"Always catch their heads," he said, nodding.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Why, can't concentrate?"

Jonothon slid his hand down her leg.

Octavian nodded.

"Because it's no fun if they're unconscious."

"Tavvie, you have completely ruined my hair, shown off my underwear to the world, and nearly dropped me on my head. Have you had enough fun and will you put me down now?" Demetria asked.

"Thank you, Bobby."


Rebekah and Bobby

Rebekah moved her leg a little.

"It is, very."

Bobby smiled.

"Tav, put her down."


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

"Like wot? When I do this?"

Jonothon ran his fingers down the inside of her thigh towards her knee.

Octavian pouted.

"Oh, alright."

He put Demetria on the ground rightside up again.

"I am going to *hurt* you," Demetria told him, before she departed in a huff for the bathroom so she could fix her hair.


Rebekah, Bobby and Levi

Rebekah parked in the hotel parking lot and got out of the car.

"Come on. Distractions are ok in the room."

Bobby went to grab some more alcohol, then stopped to chat with Levi and Yolande. And he also stopped to check out Yolande's rack.


Jonothon, Octavian & Demetria

Jonothon chuckled in her head.

"Oh, I do luv how yer try ter act like a lady, pet..."

He followed her, hands shoved in the pockets of his jacket.

Octavian bounced off to flirt with some of the girls standing around by themselves. He seemed to be doing quite well.

Demetria 'ported her brush into her hand and brushed it down out of the hairstyle it had been in. Soon her blonde hair was simply flowing down her back, with a attractive bedmussed quality to it. She decided it would do and sent her brush back where it belonged and left to drift through the party again.


Rebekah, Bobby, Millsy and Levi

Rebekah led Jono up to her room and slid the card through the slot to open the door.

"I miss keys."

Bobby grabbed Lauren again and started to wiggle/dance.

Levi and Millsy went out to get more alcohol.

Veronica and Yolande went over to chat with Octavian.


Jonothon & Octavian

"Why's that?"

Jonothon slid a hand around her waist and then down the front of her pants.

Octavian smiled at them, and bowed.

"Ladies. And how are you both fairing this fair night?"


Rebekah, Millsy and Levi

Rebekah pulled Jono to her and she kissed him gently.

"Because keys are better than this card key thing."

She slid her own hand down his pants.

Millsy and Levi walked in, holding another box of beer and various other bottles of alcohol.

Levi went over to Demetria.

"Well, and yourself?" Veronica asked.


Jonothon, Demetria & Octavian

"Oh, I see..."

Jonothon rubbde her gently.

Demetria smiled at Levi, lifting the bottle in her hand slightly in salute.

"Greetings, Levi. I can see the alcohol run went well."

"Oh, I can not complain," Octavian said, still smiling.

"But it got better when you two beauteous maidens decided to grace me with your company."


Rebekah and Levi

Rebekah moaned softly.

"Distracting man."

Levi nodded.

"Ah, well, we're good at what we do."

Yolande grinned.

"Quite the little flirt, aren't you?"


Jonothon, Demetria & Octavian

Jonothon kissed the side of her neck.

"At least I'm not distracting when I breathe. Which yer are."

Demetria batted her eyelashes at him.

"I'm sure you are."

"Flirting would assume I can not back up my words," Octavian said.

"Rest assured, you are both beautiful. Thus, my words are not flirtation but a statement of fact."


Rebekah and Levi

Rebekah smiled and turned to kiss him, sliding her hand over his length.

"Flatterer."

Levi chuckled.

"Feel like heading inside for a bit? It's kinda cold out here."

Yolande nodded.

"Smooth."


Jonothon, Demetria & Octavian

"So, opening the door?" Jonothon choked out.

"Why not? You're right, it is getting colder," Demetria said.

"Still nicer then England."

"But you know you love me," Octavian said, grinning.


Rebekah and Levi

Rebekah pushed open the door and pulled him inside.

"So..."

Levi nodded.

"Queensland is nicer. It's warmer. Our nights aren't hell frosty like Melbourne's."

He led her into Millsy's living room.

Yolande raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe. Whoa, Levi just went inside with a blonde girl."


Jonothon, Demetria & Octavian

Jonothon slid his hands over her gently.

"So, indeed."

Demetria nodded.

"I'll have to go there sometime. Aren't there amusement parks there?"

Octavian looked around.

"Oh, that's just my twin sister. Go Dem."


Rebekah and Levi

Rebekah kissed Jono softly, pulling him to the bedroom.

Levi nodded.

"Movie World, Sea World, Dreamworld, Wet'n'Wild... Matty works at Movie World as Fred from Scooby Doo. But I'll have to take you up there soon. It's awesome."

Veronica nodded.

"Fair enough. Who's that dancing with Lauren?"

She indicated Bobby.


Demetria & Octavian

"Sounds smashing, darling," Demetria purred.

"That would be Bobby," Octavian said in amusement.

"Want to join them?"


Bobby and Levi

"Sure," Yolande said.

Bobby and Lauren were now doing the fish.

"It's pretty cool. Sunshine state and all," Levi said, shrugging.

"And it's easy for us to get gigs up there."


Octavian & Demetria

Octavian smiled and they went on the dancefloor and started dancing.

"That's always good to hear," Demetria said.

"Doing well?"


Levi and Bobby

"Touring with Bek and Rob has helped," Levi said.

"But you know, it's not too bad."

Bobby swung his hips and grabbed Lauren's hand, going down really low to the ground.


Demetria & Octavian

"I'm sort of doing the acting thing...for a while," Demetria said.

"How low can you go?" Octavian said teasingly.


Bobby, Levi and Rebekah

"Pretty damn low!" Bobby exclaimed.

Levi nodded.

"Cool. I was gonna get into that, but you know..."

Rebekah rolled over.

"Ok. Wow."


Octavian, Demetria & JOnothon

Octavian grinned.

"I said, how low?"

"The singing seems to be working out for you though," Demetria said.

JOnothon smiled faintly before kissing her gently.


Bobby, Levi and Rebekah

"About... this low," Bobby said, moving down to the ground.

"Whoop whoop!"

Levi nodded and shrugged.

"Sorta. I mean, it gets tiring, and you start to miss your friends. Like it's good living here, coz I can see these guys whenever, but Bek's now living in New York, so that's a bit hard on us."

Rebekah kissed him back and scratched her arm gently.

"That was... wow."


Octavian, Demetria & Jonothon

"Go, Bobby, go," Octavian said with amusement.

"I can imagine," Demetria said.

"Sometimes I forget how things can be when people are far from each other. Because anyplace in the world may as well be next door for me as long as I have a picture of where I'm going..."

"I'm glad."

JOnothon tried, and failed miserably, not to sound smug.


Bobby, Levi and Rebekah

Bobby grinned and decided to use that moment to jump into the pool.

Levi nodded.

"Well, my brother is a teleporter... but like, it's not the same. I mean, our link keeps us together no matter where we are, but yeah, still miss just hanging out with her. That's part of why she's not going home tonight... she has press stuff tomorrow, and then she's coming up to Queensland and staying with my family for a few days."

Rebekah laughed and kissed his cheek.

"Smug."


Octavian, Demetria & JOnothon

"Wet t-shirt compitition!" Octavian shouted.

"I think this is where my comprehension stutters to a halt," Demetria said, faintly regretful.

"I have never really had what would be termed a normal life. Xavier's...has been the most normal thing I have ever encountered. It is pleasant to not have to pretend to like someone, or to not have to shred someone's pride because it is expected of one."

She looked at her brother fondly as he tried to get one of the girls to jump in the pool with him.

"I have discovered in the last six months or so, that my brother is actually a nice person to be around. We didn't have that much bonding time together. Intimacy and feelings being quite frowned upon. In any variation. I have also discovered I quite like having friends, rather then sycophants."

"Yeah, but I'm just that good," Jonothon said with a faint wriggle.


Levi and Rebekah

Levi nodded.

"I think normal is highly overrated. I mean, I've had it easier in the family stakes compared to Bek and you, I guess, but you have to make the best of what you have."

Rebekah smiled.

"Indeed you are."


Demetria & Jonothon

"Poor little rich girl," Demetria said mockingly of herself.

"Ah, but I've yer to inspire me," Jonothon said seriously, nuzzling at her neck.


Levi and Rebekah

Levi pulled Demetria in for a hug.

"Ah, we just have to deal with what life hands us, I guess."

Rebekah smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Well, I feel gloriously relaxed."


Demetria & Jonothon

Demetria stiffened for a moment in surprise, then relaxed almost bonelessly into his hug, putting her head on his shoulder.

"One must suppose so. To do one's best in spite of all obstacles."

"Oh good."

Jonothon smiled.


Levi and Rebekah

"Such is life," Levi said.

"So, are you guys going home tonight?"

Rebekah smiled back and sat up, reaching for a shirt.


Demetria & Jonothon

"Probably not," Demetria said.

"I'm possibly too drunk to do so. I don't like the idea of landing in midwall very much."

Jonothon leant back and watched her, before reaching for his shirt.


Levi and Rebekah

"Ah, well I'm staying in the room next to Bek's, you guys can come crash, if ya want," Levi offered.

Rebekah rubbed her eyes tiredly, then reached for the phone and ordered some food.


Levi, Millsy and Rebekah

"Offer is on the table," Levi said, looking up as Millsy walked in.

"Hey man."

"Hey," Millsy replied, fiddling with his phone.

"I think I broke my phone. Well, correction, I think Bek and Lauren broke my phone."

"How?"

"I'm not sure. But they had it during interval tonight... and then when I went to use it... nothing was happening. I must explore this issue."

Levi chuckled.

Rebekah smiled faintly and ran her fingers through Jono's hair.

"It'll be weird coming back to New York's time zone."


Demetria & Jonothon

"Oh, I'll probably take you up on it. And on that note, my bottle is empty. This means I must find more alcohol. Back in a minute, darlings."

Demetria walked off, somehow managing to look classy and elegant even when drunk.

Jonothon played with her hair gently.

"I guess."


Millsy, Levi and Rebekah

"You gonna chop?" Millsy asked.

"Oh shut up," Levi replied.

"Dude, I'm serious. You're already doing well. You hooked in with Bek when you guys first met, so you stud muffin you."

"Shut up."

Rebekah sighed.

"Mmmm."


Demetria & Jonothon

Demetria swayed through the small crowd, trying to find a drink to her taste. After discarding several bottles of beer, she finally found a Bacardi and headed back to Levi and Millsy. The usual Mona Lisa smile was fixed on her face, and focused on Levi. He was cute...and she was bored.

Jonothon rubbed her stomach gently.

"And hello, little one. Bit belated, but better late then never."


Millsy, Levi and Rebekah

Millsy yawned slightly and went off to find more alcohol.

"Don't get too drunk that you can't do the radio tomorrow," Levi called after him.

"Yeah, yeah..."

Rebekah smiled and ran her fingers through his hair.

"Mmmm, not long now, I guess."


Demetria & Jonothon

"Are you doing anything tomorrow? Or taking a well earned rest?" Demetria asked.

Jonothon sighed.

"Yer so beautiful."


Levi and Rebekah

"Ah, well Rob and Bek have press all day, and then tomorrow night, Bek and I are going up to Queensland, and we'll hang out with Matt and Loz for a bit. I think Rob will end up coming too."

Levi shrugged.

"But tomorrow, no solid plans. What about you?"

Rebekah blushed faintly and kissed Jono softly.

"Did you release the single?"


Demetria & Jonothon

"Not as yet, but I could be persuaded to make plans."

Demetria looked at him and arched a delicate eyebrow.

"Yep. Station got hate calls. But I think it just made more people buy the music. We're on the mainstream stations now," Jonothon said in satisfaction.

"Tav's happy to be getting money back on his investment."


Levi and Rebekah

"Well, if you're not too hung over and sick of me, we could hang out tomorrow," Levi said.

Rebekah nodded.

"That's good."


Demetria & Jonothon

"I think I could see my way to doing that," Demetria said, smiling slightly.

"The view's pleasant, and the company charming."

"Hmm..."

Jonothon cuddled with her a bit more.

"When do yer have something next?"


Levi and Rebekah

Levi smiled.

"Well, that's good."

Rebekah turned over and looked at him.

"Like what?"


Demetria & Jonothon

"What in the world is Tavvie doing now?" Demetria murmured at the sound of a female scream, followed by Octavian's laughter.

"No, I do not want to know. So, Levi, what is there in Australia that will convince me to visit it more often? Besides yourself."

"Tour thingie," Jonothon said.


Levi and Rebekah

"Well, besides me, what else could you want? Our beaches are nice... we have good food?"

Levi grinned.

Rebekah nodded and rested her head on Jono's chest.


Demetria & Jonothon

"As long as there's chocolate," Demetria declared airily, gesturing with her bottle for emphasis.

"Much can be forgiven if there is chocolate. Don't you find?"

She looked at her bottle, and then determindly drank nearly half of it in one go.

Jonothon carded his fingers through her hair gently.


Levi and Rebekah

"I find alcohol does that for me... yo, Matty!" Levi called.

"Yeah?" Matt yelled back.

"Get us a cruiser!"

"Don't be a pussy! That's a girl drink! That's a Bek drink... or a Loz drink!"

Matt dodged Lauren's well aimed slap.

"I'll get ya VB!"

"Stale piss? No thanks! Get me a Cascade!"

Matt chuckled and went to get Levi a drink.

Rebekah smiled slightly.

"Reckon we'll be good parents?"


Demetria & Jonothon

"Is he usually like that?" Demetria asked.

"Rather like Tavvie, really. Annoying but somehow at the same time wretchedly cute. Makes sure they don't get slapped nearly as often as they deserve."

"Yer will be."

Jonothon rubbed her tummy gently with his hand.


Levi and Rebekah

"Well, Matt's drunk. An indication of why he's so loud tonight," Levi said, looking up as Lauren toddled in.

"Hey Lozza."

"Hiya Leboy. Hey, Demetria, is it?" Lauren said, looking confused and drunk.

"What's doing?"

"Millsy's threatening to drown me in the pool. So the usual," Lauren replied.

"Anyway, I'm gonna go chuck his underwear into the pool. See ya!"

She sauntered off to Millsy's room.

Rebekah kissed Jono softly.

"You will be too."


Demetria & Jonothon

"Yes it is Demetria. I think. At least I haven't been told otherwise yet," Demetria said, then giggled.

She leant on Levi lightly as the other girl wandered off.

"Millsy is what I would term, in my extreme Britishness, a git."

Jonothon made a non-commital noise and nuzzled her neck.


Levi and Rebekah

Levi chuckled.

"Feel like heading out for some socialising?"

Rebekah coughed, sitting up for a moment, then resting back against Jono.


Demetria

"That would involve talking to other people, wouldn't it?" Demetria said thoughtfully.

"Well, alright. Tally ho!"

She laughed.

Jonothon touched her hair gently.

"We'll be fine."


Levi, Millsy and Rebekah

Levi led her outside, and was grabbed by Lauren who was wearing Millsy's boxers over her jeans.

"Mr Millswah is gonna sing his new single for us," she said.

"Be afraid, be very afraid," Levi advised Demetria.

Millsy chuckled and hit the play button, raising the mike to his lips.

"She calls at 3am and stands you up again
She has ten thousand friends
It's just the way she is
Never waits in line
And never has the time
She makes you lose your mind
That's just the way she is
That's just the way she is

You'll never be, what she needs
She'll always leave, with your sanity
She'll never do, what you want her to
You know its true, Miss Vanity
That's just the way she is

Loves to turn you on
And you think you can't go wrong
Oh she comes and she's gone
That's just the way she is
Yeah that's the way she is

You'll never be, what she needs
She'll always leave, with your sanity
She'll never do, what you want her to
You know its true, Miss Vanity
That's just the way she is

On your knees, such a tease
And bittersweet, you're not what I need
She'll never do, what you want her to
You know it's true, Miss Vanity

Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

She knows just what to say
To all the hearts she plays
You love her anyway
That's just the way she is

You'll never be, what she needs
She'll always leave, with your sanity
She'll never do, what you want her to
You know its true, Miss Vanity
That's just the way she is

On your knees, such a tease
And bittersweet, you're not what I need
She'll never do, what you want her to
You know it's true, Miss Vanity..."
Millsy grinned and bowed slightly.

Rebekah smiled.

"Oui. Feel like watching a movie or anything?"


Octavian, Demetria & Jonothon

"That sounds like Dem," Octavian commented thoughtfully, leaning on Bobby.

"Don't you think so, Bobby?"

"Shut up, Octavia," Demetria shot back.

"Or do you forget how good you looked in a short skirt and high heels?"

"That was not my fault!" Octavian protested.

"That was Jono's fault. Or Dawn's. Damn her eyes! Dawn must die."

"Why not?" Jonothon said.

"Any idea what's on?"


Levi, Bobby and Rebekah

Bobby laughed and opened another drink.

"Ah."

Levi went to dance and talk with Lauren, who had an evil glint in her eye.

Rebekah sat up.

"Um... let me find the remote..."

She grabbed it and switched the TV on and flicked to the movie channel, where a list of movies were shown.

"Ok, pick one and I'll ring down to get it played."


Demetria, Octavian & Jonothon

Demetria drifted off to where some people were dancing and joined in. Octavian went to go chat up another pretty girl.

"Ahhh..."

Jonothon ran his eyes down the list of movies.

"Almost Famous? I like muso movies."


Levi and Rebekah

Levi grabbed Demetria and spun her around.

"Wonder why zat is," Rebekah said, smiling.

She lifted the phone and called down for the movie.

Moments later, it began.


Demetria & Jonothon

Demetria threw her head back and laughed, letting Levi direct their movements. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as they danced.

Jonothon nuzzled her neck.

"Oh, I do wonder."


Levi and Rebekah

Levi chuckled and slid his arm around Dem's waist. He oofed and fell silently as Lauren and Yolande both jumped on his back.

"Argh!"

"Me hearties!" they yelled.

Rebekah kissed Jono gently and wrapped a blanket around them.

"Smart arse."


Demetria & Jonothon

Demetria frowned faintly.

"And you would want what...? I'm getting such disturbing flashbacks..."

"Ah, but yer luv me."

They snuggled.


Levi and Rebekah

"Ah, sorry Dem," Levi said.

"Hey, Loz, Yolande, you wanna you know, get off me?"

"Ha, no," Lauren said, sitting happily on Levi's back.

"It's quite comfortable."

Rebekah snuggled into Jono's side and closed her eyes slightly.


Demetria

Demetria looked down at them on the floor, then sat next to Levi's head. She patted his head gently.

"You know, I was dancing with him," she observed.

"And we can't really keep doing that while you're sitting on the poor man."


Levi and Millsy

"Ah, but Levi has been annoying me all - ARGH!" Lauren yelped as Millsy swooped in and picked her up, tossing her over his shoulder.

Matt did much of the same to Yolande.

"Thanks guys," Levi called, sitting up.


Demetria

"Thank you!" Demetria called after Millsy andMatt, before she hugged Levi and then pulled him to his feet.

"Dance with me!"


Levi

Levi chuckled and started dancing with Dem.

"I feel the love."


Demetria

"And so you should," Demetria said severely, then ruined the effect by giggling.

"Oh, my...I told you I got silly when I got drunk."


Levi

"It's alright, you can't be as bad as Loz," Levi assured her.

"I HEARD THAT!" Lauren yelled.


Demetria

"Why?" Demetria asked as a slow song came on.

She let him draw her closer as they danced together slower to fit the beat.


Levi

"She gets evil. Wait, she gets evil with Bek... other than that, she's just weird," Levi said.

He put his arms around her waist.


Demetria

"Ah, I see," Demetria said, leaning her head against his chest.

"So it is self preservation to stay away from her when she is drunk?"


Levi

"Drunk or sober. Hanging out with her is just not a good idea..."

Levi nodded.

"Screw off buddy," Lauren said as she went dancing past.


Demetria

"I see," Demetria nodded carefully.

"But it is fun to be ever so slightly wicked, darling."


Levi and Millsy

"Sometimes. But not all the time."

Levi shrugged.

"I'm friggen hungry, who wants to go on a Maccas run?" Millsy asked.


Demetria

"Just on occasion...it makes life interesting."

Demetria looked up at him through her long lashes, blue eyes gleaming faintly.

"That would involve movement. And leaving."


Millsy and Levi

"Oi, Kel? You still sober?" Millsy called.

"When is she ever sober?" Levi asked.

"Hey!" Kelly protested.

"I'm fine."


Octavian & Demetria

"She's perfect!" Octavian declared, before giving Kelly a kiss on the cheek.

"Shut up, Tavvie," Demetria said placidly.

"Do you need me to defend your honour, Demetria dearest?" Octavian inquired, looking her and Levi over.

"No, I don't. Rack off, Tavvie."


Millsy

"So, Kello, Maccas? Please? I love you!" Millsy pleaded.

"Yeah, ok. Hey, Ax! Let's go, you're driving!" Kelly called.

"Bah! Damn you Millsy!" Axel yelled.

"What does everyone want?"


Demetria & Octavian

"Chips," Demetria said after a pause.

"The whole menu?" Octavian suggested.

"I'm a growing boy, I need to keep my strength up."


Levi, Millsy and Bobby

"The usual!" Levi called to Kelly.

Millsy hmmed.

"Big Mac. Crispy Chicken Foccaccia. Meals. Thanks!"

"Nuggets and a double cheeseburger meal!" Bobby yelled.

Kelly nodded and she and Axel left.


Octavian & Demetria

Octavian put his arms around Bobby's shoulders, standing up on tiptoe to kiss his cheek.

"Do we actually know where we're sleeping tonight?"

"Levi offered beds," Demetria said.

"Or at least, floor."


Bobby, Millsy and Levi

Bobby shrugged.

"You can crash here," Millsy offered.

"I know Levi will go back to the hotel because he loves Rebekah."

"What?" Levi asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Ok, fine. But he doesn't like staying here because apparently, I tried to spoon him last time I was drunk," Millsy said.

"There is no apparently about it."


Octavian & Demetria

"Do not, on any account, ever flirt with or attempt to touch the darling Rebekah," Octavian said seriously.

"Jono will take your hand off and leave you a bleeding stump."

"I think it's quite cute," Demetria said.

"You're not the one he's threated seriuos bodily harm to."


Bobby and Levi

"Yeah, he threatened to take my penis off," Bobby said.

Levi chuckled.


Demetria

"To be honest Bobby...you might be better off that way," Demetria said.

"Having you nuetered would be kind to the world."


Bobby and Levi

"It was uncalled for though," Bobby protested.

"I was just trying to feel her up."

"So uncalled for," Levi said.

"Yeah, I was above clothes and everything!"


Octavian & Demetria

"As you can see," Octavian declared.

"Jonothon is obviously insane."

"Oh, I don't know...I think it's kind of sweet," Demetria demurred.


Bobby and Levi

"He's insane. And I swear, one more threat to castrate me, and I actually will bed Rebekah. It'd be worth it, I reckon."

Bobby chuckled evilly.

"Bed her and I'll kill you," Levi put in.


Octavian & Demetria

"Oh, she's not that good...and I'll be hiding now, yes?" Octavian said.

"Oh, good idea," Demetria said.


Millsy, Levi and Bobby

Millsy sauntered over and put his arm around Levi's shoulders.

"Ah, the young Rebekah? Well, Levi would know all about our resident sweet girl."

Levi shrugged Millsy off.

"Nah."

Bobby looked interested.

"Reeeeeaaaaalllly?"


Octavian & Demetria

"Dish, darling," Octavian said.

"Anyone who can get into Bek's pants has to be decent."

"I'm not related to you," Demetria told him.


Millsy and Levi

"Wellllll, Rebekah and young Levi had a little something going, and one night when we were all - mmmph mpph mphhh!"

Levi clapped his hand over Millsy'd mouth, who looked quite indignant.


Octavian

"Bobby, this has mischief written all over it," Octavain said slowly.

"Let's tell Jono!"


Millsy, Levi and Bobby

"Wouldn't he know?" Millsy asked.

"Probably," Levi said, shrugging.

"Anyway, Bek and I never had sex. Just kissing was weird between us."

Bobby looked confused.

"But... sex is good."


Octavian

"Sex is excellent," Octavian agreed.

"But I guess some people have...morals. Unlike me."


Bobby, Millsy and Levi

"What are morals?" Bobby joked.

"I have none."

"Kelly!" Millsy shrieked.

"You're back!"

"That I am. And with food."

Levi chuckled.


Octavian & Demetria

"Kelly, I love you," Octavian said as he was handed his food.

"Will you marry me?"

"Take him up on it, we're loaded," Demetria advised.

"Pin it down now. We can be in Las Vegas in the blink of an eye. Thank you."

She took her food.


Levi and Millsy

Levi laughed.

"Go for it Kel."

"No, what about my darling Axel?" she said, batting her eyelashes.

Millsy snickered.

"Pfft."


Demetria & Octavian

"Well, I'd much rather have you for a sister in law then the snobby upperclass bitches Mother will have picked out," Demetria said thougthfully.

"Ha, the thought," Octavian scoffed.

"HOnestly, those girls are stupid...at least Kelly is intelligent."

"Smart enough not to marry you, despite the money."

"Ouch. That hurt me real deep there, Dem."


Bobby

"Marry... well we're running out of decent girls at the mansion, aren't we?" Bobby said, frowning.

"Man, marry Faith. And then run from Logan."

He chuckled.


Octavian

"Eeeeep!"

Octavian hid behind Lauren.

"Don't threaten me with that!"


Bobby

"Let's find a way to turn Logan gay!"

Bobby bounced.


Octavian

"Oh, yes, let's!" Octavian said.

"Damn Faith and her damn vagina! Honestly, there should be a spell to cover that. Or we can get that girl to sneeze again. Watching him and Scott was too entertaining for words."


Bobby

"Yes, we could get... who's good with magicks?"

Bobby giggled.

"And Logan would be all like gay! Hahaha!"

And with that, he fell over laughing.


Octavian

"But very butch," Octavian said.

"Let's blame Dawn for it."


Bobby

"But I get the feeling Faith would encourage his gayness," Bobby mused.

He giggled.

"Ah a gay Logan."


Octavian & Demetria

"The wonders of it," Octavian agreed.

"Demmy, sweetest, do you think we could do it?"

"Perhaps," Demetria said slowly.


Bobby

"Then you could bed him, Tav!"

Bobby bounced from his spot on the floor.


Octavian & Demetria

"I could, couldn't I?" Octavian mused.

The twins fell to plotting before they were all taken back home.
