Despite her jet lag from the ten hour flight from Los Angeles to London, nothing could bring Kit Knight down. Kit buzzed with excitement. She stepped back from her mother and sister to stand in line with the boys.

She popped her head between James and Kendall's shoulders. "Did you guys hear about the Super Moon tonight?"

"Already on it," Logan offered. "We should be able to see it from the hotel balcony tonight."

She beamed. "Check it out," Kendall unfolded his map. "First up, we're going to the Giant Ferris Wheel–"

"The London Eye," Kit corrected.

Her brother rolled his eyes. "Whatever, fine. That"

Logan chuckled. He tapped excitedly on the map. "I wanna go to Parliament"

Kit's eyes lit up. "Oh," she said. "Me too!"

James gripped the loose corner of the map, looking at nothing in particular. "And I want to meet a hot girl with one of those cool accents–"

Kit scoffed. "Good luck with that," she muttered.

Gustavo wouldn't even let her sit next to Logan on the airplane earlier that day. Ever since Griffin put the idea of her being with James into his head, Gustavo had gone nuclear in his quest to push James and Kit back together. And, more diligently, to keep her away from Logan. She seriously doubted James would be able to sneak in a whole romance during their brief stay in England.

"You are not going anywhere!"

The map was ripped from the boys' hands before Kit could even suggest they try to squeeze in the Tower. She frowned at Gustavo as the paper whisked away to reveal their frenzied manager. His eyes narrowed beneath his sunglasses. In a lower voice, he hissed: "And why aren't you two holding hands?"

Wordlessly, James snaked his right hand to wrap tightly around Kit's. The plasticky smiles the teens shot him only agitated the man further.

"Tonight is our first stop on our world tour, and if you do nothing, then nothing can go wrong!"

Kit shared a knowing glance with her brother.

"It's our official tour strategy," Kelly elaborated. She lifted a spiral binder from her bag. "We hired outside consultants and everything."

Kendall rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on," he scoffed. "We're sold out!"

"He has a point," Kit offered. "I mean, how much trouble can we get into in one day?"

"It's not you I'm worried about!" His eyes flitted from the girl's inquisitive gaze to the guilty grins of the three boys standing beside her.

A sigh left Gustavo as the missing boy jumped onto his shoulder, one hand formed into a pretend gun and wearing sunglasses. "A whole world of trouble," said Carlos in a somber voice.

"Okay," Unphased, Gustavo added. He pointed a finger at Carlos. "See, this is what I'm talking about"

The teens could only grimace in response. Kit let out a sigh, knowing that she wouldn't be seeing Parliament or the Tower of London that day.

"Okay," Kelly continued. "So, don't touch anything, don't look at anyone, and go straight to baggage claim."

With that, she turned to head towards the area herself.
