Next morning we went up to the airport. We weren't sure whether the boys would arrive at Terminal 3 or 4. So me and Inge went to Term 3 and the other girls stayed at 4. After some hour and a half we went to sit down and then I saw Dan. We stood up, and saw the other boys & Mike. You should have seen the look on their faces! As soon as Trevor4 saw me, his face first looked puzzled, then surprised & happy. Dan said hi, Erik said hi, Trev came up to me and gave me a hug, then Inge. He asked us how we were doing and then he mentioned us being so far from home. Ash came out last and gave us hugs. We talked to him for quite a bit. He asked us "how are things in Germany?" We told him that we were from Holland, and he said "yeh I know but I always see you guys in Germany". We talked about how they were doing in Holland... Then he told us "TL is gonna love to see you guys!" They went to exchange some money. I walked up to Erik to talk and he gave me a hug, so did Inge. We walked up to the money exchange with Trev and there we talked about the album only being released last month. They were surprised but happy that they were doing well! Erik turned around and was like "it only came out a month ago? Wow that's funny" Then we talked about the Making The Band episode with their mums. Erik said "have you seen that picture?" We all laughed and Erik said "that's one of my personal favorites". I told him it was a cute one! Then we all went up to the car park. We were on another elevator and when we got out, Dan pulled a funny face and said "you guys are quick!" Trev started talking to me and Inge was talking to Ashley. Then Ash and Trev went to sit in the car. Jacob said hi to us, how nice! Dan stood there with a lollipop. And Erik stood right behind us, just standing there with his suitcase...The crew and Jake n Eric were getting the bags in the cars. We were just looking at that, when Inge said "look at Ashley!" I looked and he was sitting there, in the car, waving at us, for like 30 seconds. What a doof! We waved back and smiled. We talked with Mike, and he said he was surprised to us there, cos he only knew they'd go to London 2 days before! Inge asked what hotel they stayed at. But Mike said "what's in your schedule?" LOL I said "we'll find out" he said "yeh I know you will, you're probably gonna be there sooner than we are." LOL They all went to sit in the car, Trev came out, and Inge asked him if he knew what hotel they woud go to. He said no and Inge told him "we're gonna find out, that's ok" And Ash & Dan laughed. Just before they left, Erik opened the door once more and said "bye girls!" HOW SWEEEEEETTTT!!! To be honest, we didn't know what hotel they stayed at immediately, but like we said "we were gonna find out anyways!" And we did. At night we went there, after we waited for them at BMG. But they cancelled that as there wasn't enough time. So we went to the hotel and waited for them. After about 2 hours, 2 vans arrived. We thought "yay" but... Westlife came out. How funny. Another hour later, O-Town finally arrived. When Mike came out, and saw us, he pointed and said HEY! I said "told you so!" Mike told us "everyone was surprised that you weren't here when we arrived from the airport!" LOLWe had so much fun with them there, laughing & talking. Inge told them "we've been waiting for you guys at BMG for 3 hours" and I said "you weren't supposed to say that!" And Inge "oh, I wasn't supposed to say that... weve only been here for 30 minutes"Ashley laughed. I wanted to have my picture taken with Ash so Inge told Trev "I want to have my picture taken with you, but first Noelle wants hers with Ash". Then Trev reached for me and said "oh Ash is too busy talking, so come here" So I took one with Trev. He said "second best goes first..." LOL as if! He knows he's my fave! Silly man! Then Inge had one with him. Then we took one with Ash. It was taking me a bit long until I took the pic for Inge, so Inge was like smiling and saying "take the fuckin picture" LOL Ash again told us "TL is gonna be so happy to see you guys!" The boys all went inside and we went up to Mike and talked some mo. So much fun and Inge took a picture with him. We said we were gonna dedicate a page on our site to the crew. So he said "I'm not in the crew, I am the crew!" Lil later Ash came out again. He started moonwalking. It was really cool. All of a sudden he said "I turned 21!" YEH DUH, about 2 months ago! He wanted to go in again, I said "bye Ash!" He stopped, turned around and said "bye" with that sweet smile on his face that you only know when you meet him! Again he said "TL is gonna love to see you guys!" He went in, so did Mike, and we went back to Kelly's house.
