The next morning was awkward for the two, yet neither understood what was wrong with the other.
     Ben sat silently eating his breakfast thinking of how in the world he was supposed to deal with the fact that Willow may love him.
     Willow, not wanting to be the one to break the silence, tried to make things clearer in her head. She still didn't know what she wanted to do.
     "Morning there guys!" Karl said cheerfully as he grabbed one of the empty seats.
     Both Ben and Willow looked at him thankfully for breaking the awkward silence.
     "You don't mind do you?" Karl quickly asked as he remembered the band would be leaving again later and he knew Willow wouldn't be coming.
     "No, it's fine! Stay!" Willow said smiling. Ben noted that she had visibly relaxed.
     "I think I will then!" Karl replied smiling back, "Oh, and Dan will join us in a few, as soon as he's done with the loo. And Anna may join us too, I wasn't really listening.."
     Ben laughed, "How nice of you. I'm sure she'd appreciate the fact that you don't care."
     Karl shrugged, "I was hungry. She was rambling on and I cut her off by saying I was off to meet some of you guys for breakfast, so she mentions that she's hungry, and started on about this damn thing again. I just left.." A mere second later Karl received a smack in the back of the head. "Ouch!"
     The three turned to see Anna standing there, "Geeze Karl! I told you to wait a minute so I could throw on some shoes. I turn my back for a second on you're gone!" She grabbed the other seat and sat down. "Oh, and I'll take that," She replied grabbing the menu from Karl, "I'm sure you've already ordered and all, with how hungry you were." She made a face at Karl before scanning the breakfast menu.

     It wasn't until Anna had finished the last of her omelet that Daniel finally joined the quartet.
     Karl looked at his watch, "Where in the hell have you been? You fall in or something?"
     Daniel flopped down into a chair, "I couldn't find my boots.."
     Anna laughed, "You aren't barefoot are you?!" She peaked under the table.
     "No, I ended up just throwing on my sneakers," He said as he put his one foot up on the table, "And now I, like, clash, like, terribly!" Daniel said in a valley girl tone.
     "Excuse me sir!"
     Daniel jumped and looked back on the waiter, "Oh! I'm sorry!" He quickly removed his foot off the table and sat up straight.
     "Thank you sir. Could I get you anything?"
     "Oh, um, yeah. Breakfast, or whatever. I'll have your special.. Surprise me!" Daniel tacked on smiling at the snobbish waiter.
     "As you wish sir." And with that the waiter walked off towards the kitchen.
     "Gawd, he's got a pickle up his arse or something!" Daniel commented as he turned back to the table. "Sounded like one of those over bred English butlers. Makes you think all English are a bunch of rich, snobbish, top of the pick, polite, clean people! Now us Aussies!" Daniel started as he started to lay on a really heavy accent, "We're rough n' tough, under and in bred, dirty, beer drinking, meat eating, under educated, pure men!" Daniel finally ended with a 'manly' grunt.
     Willow put a hand to her chest and sighed dramatically, "Steals your heart, don't it?" She said in a southern, air headed accent.
     Anna bit her bottom lip, holding back a laugh, "Oh yes, we've got the best the world has to offer back home!"
     "It truly is a wonder why there is such competition between the English and Australian.."
     Daniel laughed, "And I have the best that both worlds have to offer!"
     Willow looked at Anna, "And you know what they say about English men!"
     Anna burst into laughter.
     Karl looked at the pair of females who were laughing, "Oh, you guys are sick!"
     It didn't help them much when they noticed Daniel was fighting back a blush.

     Back up in their room, Willow looked around for her hair clip, "Ben are you sure you haven't seen it?" She asked as she got down on her hands and knees.
     "No, Will," Ben said looking out from the bathroom, he finally spotted her by the dresser, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it.."
     Willow groaned.
     "It couldn't have gone THAT far luv.."
     She finally lifted up the sheet to look under the bed. As a firmiluar blue glint caught her eye, she smiled, "Ooh, found it!"
     As she reached her hand under it struck something. She first grabbed her clip, then went back under for the other objects.
     She pulled out a pair of boots, "Uh, Ben, sweetheart, are these yours?" She asked looking at the boots oddly.
     Ben peaked out and frowned, "No.." He walked over to take a closer look. He pulled the toothbrush out of his mouth, "Where'd you find them?"
     "Under the bed.. Are you sure they're not yours?"
     "Yeah, positive!" He looked at them again, then finally flipped one over to look at the size, "Those are Dan's!"
     "What?!"
     "Those are the boots Dan was looking for!"
     "Well, how'd they get in here!" Willow asked, looking back at the boots.

     "How'd they get in your room?" Daniel asked when Willow had returned them.
     "I don't know! They were just under our bed.."
     "Oh, I know what's going on here!" Daniel said with a smirk.
     Willow turned back to him, "What?"
     "You just want me in your room."
     Willow stopped and looked at him, "That's exactly it! I want you and Ben in my room. I want to have this majorly kinky threesome, just you, me and Ben.."
     Daniel laughed, "Yeah, I figured as much! Thanks for them back," He gave her a peck on top of her head, "I'll take a raincheck on your offer. Maybe tomorrow though.." He smiled at her again before closing his door.
     Willow laughed, "Impossible!"

     Willow stood in the middle of their room, "Soo.."
     Ben looked up at her, "Hmm?"
     "Well, what are our plans for the night..afternoon even.."
     He simply shrugged before spacing back out.
     She leaned on the back of the couch and looked at Ben, "Are you tired?"
     He nodded, "Yeah, I just want to go home and fall asleep in my own bed, my own pillow.. I miss it.."
     Willow nodded along with him before walking off to the stereo system. She looked through her cd collection a few times before pulling out a cd that had seemed to be collecting a lot of dust in the last little bit.
     She stuck earphones in and began listening to it, silently mouthing the words to herself. After the fourth song she couldn't take it anymore, she needed to do something..

     Willow knocked on Darren's door and waited patiently for an answer.
     Darren peaked out the door, "Oh! Willow! Hi, what do you want?"
     "I'm bored!" She let out in a huff.
     Darren looked at her oddly before carefully answering her back, "And you came to me to help because?"
     "What are you doing?"
     "Just listening to some music, a bit of some telly.. Why?"
     "Can I have your laptop for a bit?"
     Darren laughed suddenly, "Oh, that's all you want?"
     Willow nodded and smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, I need to do something. Might as well see what's all up on the net and what not. Deal with my e-mail.."
     "Well here, come in for a second. I'll need to unplug it and whatnot," Darren opened the door for her and let her walk past him.
     As he began unplugging his machine he looked over to her, "You and Ben aren't going out to do something?"
     She sighed and shrugged, "I don't know, he's tired. So what do I do?"
     "Well, I'm sure if you ask him nice en-"
     "No," Willow said cutting him off, "How do I set up this thing?"
     "Well it does have a battery pack, but since you'll be in the hotel room, just plug it in with this. I'll leave my cell hooked up to it.. It should run fine. If you can't get it, just call me over.."
     Willow smiled and thanked him.

     As Willow returned to her room, she saw Ben laying on the couch and noticed that he had changed her cd.
     She walked in and placed Darren's laptop down, "Who's this?"
     "Huh?"
     "Who's this playing?"
     "Oh, just a band from home. You wouldn't know them.." Ben lay his head back down.
     "Well, I was, uh, listening to something.."
     "Oh, were you? Sorry, you can change it, I just want to sit and 'veg'.."
     "Thanks.." She pulled the cd out and studied the unmarked cd before placing it down and returning her Bush cd to the player.
     After her second attempt she finally got the laptop up and running smoothly. She logged onto Darren's internet account, she laughed as she took not to his account name.
     She checked out her hotmail account before she did anything else. She skimmed briefly through all the email she had recently received, she couldn't believe how fast the word of her and Ben had spread.
     As 'Glycerine' came up on her cd she notched up the volume a bit.
     Ben sat up and looked over to her, "Who is that?"
     She eyed him for a moment, "Do tell me that you do know.."
     "No, I'm not sure. The guitar rift sounds firmiluar.."
     "Well I'm disappointed.. It's 'Glycerine', by Bush. Ring a bell?"
     "Yeah, ok. They do that Swallowed song right?" Willow nodded, "Yeah.. You think that lead guy is cute or something?"
     Willow laughed, "Mr. Rossdale? Yeah, I did quite fancy him.."
     "Oh.."
     "Oh, huh? Just 'oh'? That's all it gets?"
     "Well what else do you want?"
     She shrugged, "I don't know.. You just sound.. I don't know." She forwarded to her favourite song 'Alien', "Here listen to this song, I love this one.
     Ben pulled a chair up next to Willow and rested his head on her shoulder, "It's 'calming'.."
     "I love it.."
     "It's making me sleepier.."
     "Go take a nap then.."
     "Hmm, I like that idea," He gave her a kiss on the cheek and pulled himself off his chair, and over to the bed.
     Willow read through a few pages she usually visited, she laughed suddenly and looked back at Ben.
     "Oh, Ben?"
     He looked up at her tiredly, "Yeah?"
     "Apparently I'm pregnant!"
