"Okay, I'll see you soon. Thanks again," I said, hanging up and slipping my phone into my back pocket.

"Who was that?" Jade asked, looking up from her phone.

"Seattle paramedics. They said they'll be at the park tomorrow from 3:00-5:30. I had to bribe their whole squad with concert tickets though." I chuckled, standing up slowly and walking to my bunk. We're currently leaving Cheyenne, Wyoming and on out way to Seattle, Washington. 

"This is gonna be so fun. Just two hours of talking to our fans, raising money for needy children at the same time," Jesy said happily from the back room, bouncing Jamie on her knee. 

Instead of asking for donations from our California fans, we figured we'd raise more money if we did meet and greets in Seattle, Oregon, and California. Three different dates, three times the money for the children. Needless to say, I was thrilled.

I smiled and dropped my stuff inside my bunk, grabbing my list of things that still needed to get done. An idea popped into my head. 

"What about a picnic?" I asked quietly to myself. Hands slipped around my waist, steadying me as the bus bopped along the highway. 

"Would you like me to take you on one?" Jade purred in my ear. I blushed and rolled my eyes, turning around and walking into the back room where everyone was, the television mounted on the wall playing some random movie.

"What if the meet and greet was a huge picnic?" I asked them suddenly, standing next to the T.V. Leigh paused it and everyone's eyes focused on me, Jade leaning against the wall beside me. 

"I'm sorry, I'm confused." Aimee said, looking up from her book.

"What if we tell everyone to bring picnic baskets full of food with blankets? That way everyone will be sitting down- it'll be calmer than us just standing around with people grabbing at our clothes and such. Yes?" 

They all exchanged glances, small smiles growing on their faces. I beamed as I waited for their response. 

"I like it," Sam declared, grinning at me from her spot on the couch.

"Yeah, I think it'll be loads more fun for everyone else, like a free lunch with Little Mix!" Alexis cheered. 

I smiled. "Good. We'll tweet about it tomorrow, right after the signing."

They all nodded in agreement, so I took a seat next to Alexis, laughing when Jamie crawled out of Jesy's lap and into mine. 

"Helloooo pretty baby," I cooed, pinching her chubby arms. She giggled and patted my cheek softly, tugging on my bangs. Suddenly a body flopped down next to me, squeezing into the last available space on the couch.

"Hellooooo pretty baby," I joked, looking over my shoulder to kiss Jade. She winked and latched her hands around my waist, resting her chin on my shoulder, watching as I played with Jamie. 

"You're so cute!" I squealed, playing patty cake with her.

"Why thank you," Jade joked, kissing my cheek. I rolled my eyes and continued smiling at Jamie, making funny faces and laughing when she laughed. 

"Well that's going on Twitter," Jesy muttered, and I looked up in time to see her lowering her phone and typing something quickly, then putting it away. 

Instantly suspicious, I looked around for my phone, but Jade laid a hand on my shoulder. 

"I'm on it," she whispered, pulling her own phone out and holding it in front of me, her arms encircling my waist. I smiled and played with Jamie while she pulled up the band's profile. She suddenly let out an angry harrumph, lifting her head off my shoulder to glare at Jesy on the couch.
