Taylor sat at his desk. Christmas Day was quickly coming to a close. He didn't want it to end, he thought as he laid his head down on the desk. He had tomorrow, and then after that he would be gone again. No home, no bed, no friends, no Skye; only his family, a tour bus, lots of audiences, and the big open road. It was hard to believe that although there would be so many people, the trip would still be lonely.

Wait, he thought to himself. I'm mistaken. Lia...

Lia. She was something else. And she would be continuing her studying with them until the tour ended...whenever it ended. Taylor half-smiled to himself. Lia.

Of course, there was her bratty little sister Jordan who desperately needed medication. But, she was easily avoided. Just scream, "HEY, ZAAAAC!!!!" Jordan had developed a little crush on him since the beginning of their trip. Amazingly, she hadn't had a crush on any of them until AFTER they'd met. Taylor had to give the child some credit.

Just then, Zac burst in. "Hey, Tay-bird!" He had 2 of his friends from school, Wayne and Keith, in tow. "They've come to check out my new game, man."

Taylor looked up and nodded.

"Where's Skye?" Zac asked. "I thought you two were joined at the hip? When did you get surgically removed from her side?"

"Haha, real funny," Taylor muttered, and abruptly got up and left.

"What's got his goat?" Keith asked.

Zac shrugged. "Oh, you gotta check this out..."
