Mr. Cuddles' POV

This dude with blonde hair took me out of where I was napping peacefully. I woke with a start, and I began to panic. Where was Phoenix? And who was this kid with blonde hair and where was he taking me? I saw him begin to climb some sort of ladder thing, and I began to freak out even more. WHERE WAS PHOENIX? I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! Fortunately, he only took me up one bunk, and I guess Phoenix's bunk was right underneath, because he held me behind his back and popped his head over the edge.

"Whatcha doin?" I heard him ask.

"Whatever it is you took, give it back," I heard Phoenix say. From what I could tell, she continued working on something.

"Awww, you're no fun," he said. The next thing I knew, I was being flown through the air, and I was falling until I landed in Phoenix's arms.

"You took Mr. Cuddles?!" she exclaimed. She's very protective of me, and no one is allowed to take me. I didn't hear much else, because I was relieved to be back with Phoenix. She closed this curtain thing, and cuddled me, saying that everything was going to be ok. I fell asleep in her arms after that.

Niall's POV

Our bus FINALLY arrived at the ferry to take us across the Channel. Our first concert was in France, since that was the closest place.

I hopped off my bunk and crawled down to Phoenix's bunk to wake her up. The view was really pretty from the ferry, and I didn't want her to miss it for the world.

"Phoenix?" I gently shook her shoulder.

"Hm?" she rolled over. She ended up rolling into my arms, since the bunks aren't that wide. I picked her up, bridal-style, and carried her out to the deck of the ferry.

"Where are we?" she asked, still half-asleep.

"We just got onto the ferry to go to France," I answered.

"But, aren't we using a tour bus?" she asked. I could tell her half-asleep brain couldn't understand.

"Yes, but we can't drive across the English Channel, so we are taking a ferry over. Than, we are touring all over Europe and Asia in the bus," I replied, nuzzling her nose and taking her over to the rail.

"That's a pretty sunset," Phoenix murmured, almost to herself.

"Yes, it is, and it's only made prettier by the girl I get to spend it with," I murmured, helping her stand up so we could watch it together. A couple minutes passed by of just the two of us staring out at the sunset when she turned away and looked at her phone.

"You alright?" I turned and asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered distractedly.

Phoenix's POV

I was enjoying looking at the pretty sunset with Niall when my phone buzzed. I turned away and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I began to chew on my lip when I saw that it was Luke who had texted me.

"You alright?" I heard Niall ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I answered absentmindedly, still chewing on my lip.

See that pretty sunset, babe? Luke texted me.

Yeah, what about it? And please don't call me babe. I replied.

Remember when we used to look at sunsets like this, babe? Luke asked.

Wishing I couldn't. And please, stop calling me babe. I answered.

"Who are ya texting?" Harry came up behind me and I could tell he had a cheeky grin on his face.

"My idiot of an ex-boyfriend," I grumbled, sighing heavily.

I could tell the cheeky grin left Harry's face, even though he was behind me.

"What's he want?" he asked, his tone completely flipped to dark, bordering on protective.

"He's trying to get me back with him by bringing up how we used to look at sunsets, not much different than tonight's sunset," I sighed heavily at the buzz of another text from Luke.

Remember that one picnic on the hill, and we watched the sunset? I kissed you that night, you know? Luke texted again. Why wasn't he getting the hint?

Yes, I remember the picnic and the kiss. Now, leave me alone. Go listen to 'Lips Are Movin,' by Meghan Trainor and pretend I'm singing it to you. I texted back. At this point I was flat out annoyed.

"Do I need to break someone's neck?" Harry asked. I forgot he was behind me the entire time.

"No, I got it. It's Luke. I can handle him. But, if I need help, you and the lads are the first people I'm calling," I answered as I walked back to the bus.

Luke's POV

I knew I was being pesky. Thing was, I still liked Phoenix, and I was such a IDIOT when I cheated on her a while back. The sunset from the boat was so pretty, it brought me back to some of the dates that I took Phoenix on before I changed.

See that pretty sunset, babe? I asked her. Maybe she still had feelings for me?

Yeah, what about it? And please don't call me babe. she answered.

Remember when we used to look at sunsets like this, babe? I asked. Maybe there was still something there I could stir up.

Wishing I couldn't. And please, stop calling me babe. she texted back. Dang, she was hard to crack.

Remember that one picnic on the hill, and we watched the sunset? I kissed you that night, you know? Does she still have feelings for me? I wish she would.

Yes, I remember the picnic and the kiss. Now, leave me alone. Go listen to 'Lips Are Movin,' by Meghan Trainor and pretend I'm singing it to you. Well I guess she was annoyed, so I decided to call her.

"What do you want?" she answered the phone in a snappish tone.

"Since I would rather not spoil the sunset with more celebrities than are already around, I was kinda hoping you would sing to me," I answered.

"Well, since you called, I'll make the call worth your while," I heard her answer. The rest of the phone call was her singing 'Lips Are Movin.'

"If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving

If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving

If your lips are moving then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

Boy, look at me in my face

Tell me that you're not just about this bass

You really think I could be replaced?

Nah... I come from outer space

And I'm a classy girl

I'm a hold it up

You full of something but it ain't love

And what we got is straight overdue

Go find somebody new

You can buy me diamond earrings

And deny-ny-ny, ny-ny-ny, deny-ny

But I smell her on your collar so goodbye-bye-bye

Bye-bye-bye

I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are movin

Tell me do you think I'm dumb?

I might be young

But I ain't stupid

Talking round in circles with your tongue

I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk

Saying how I'm your number one

But I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are movin

Baby, don't ya know I'm done

If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving

If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving

If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

Hey, baby, don't you bring them tears

'Cause it's too late, too late, babe, oh

You only love me when you're here

You're so two-faced, two-faced, babe, oh

You can buy me diamond earrings

And deny-ny-ny, ny-ny-ny, deny-ny

But I smell her on your collar so goodbye-bye-bye

Bye-bye-bye

I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are moving

Tell me do you think I'm dumb?

I might be young, but I ain't stupid

Talking round in circles with your tongue

I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk

Saying how I'm your number one

But I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are moving

Baby, don't ya know I'm done

Come on, say!

If your lips are moving, if your lips are moving

If your lips are moving, then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

If your lips are moving

If your lips are moving

If your lips are moving

Then you're lyin', lyin', lyin', babe

I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are moving

Tell me do you think I'm dumb?

I might be young, but I ain't stupid

Talking round in circles with your tongue

I gave you bass, you gave me sweet talk

Saying how I'm your number one

But I know you're lyin

'Cause your lips are moving

Baby, don't you know I'm done"

Her voice was like that of an angel, but she also had that soulful quality that I personally loved. She put so much emotion into her singing, and it always left me entranced.

"Was that all you wanted?" she asked me over the phone, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, um, yeah, I guess," I answered.

"Good. Good night," she hung up on me.
