RICKY
Guess what.

LANDRY
No

RICKY
You're no fun.

LANDRY
So I've been told

RICKY
Can you just guess though.

LANDRY
I rather not

RICKY
Ugh, fine I'll just tell ya.
I'm on a plane.

LANDRY
So are a million other people

RICKY
Normal people would just ask where I'm going.

LANDRY
Ya but I think you should've have figured out that I'm far from normal by now

RICKY
Ya I think I got that.
Any way guess where I'm going.

LANDRY
We both know I have no intention on guessing so you might as well just tell me

RICKY
I'm going across the pond.

LANDRY
Who gets on a plane to cross a damn pond??
Fucking rich people

RICKY
Not an actual pond you dipshit.
I'm going to England

LANDRY
Why couldn't you just say I'm going to England

RICKY
Bc that's no fun.

LANDRY
K whatever have fun crossing ponds bye

RICKY
No don't leave
planes are boring
I need someone to talk to

LANDRY
Talk to Liam or Emery then

RICKY
They're asleep
and if I wake them they'll literally beat me up

LANDRY
Ricardo it's 1 am in California right now
I physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually do not have the energy to deal with  your shit rn

RICKY
I don't care stay up and talk to me.

LANDRY
no
good night Ricardo

RICKY
Night Laundry

After sending a short but meaningful text to his mom telling her he loves her like he does every night when they're apart, followed by using up all his lives on Candy Crush, Ricky proceeds to turn off his phone deciding to hit the hay just like his other band members did a few hours prior.

After all, the one person he had the intention of talking with was no longer in the position to talk so what was the point of staying awake anyways.

Many would find it absolutely insane that every day he falls deeper and deeper for this girl that he's never even met. With the job he has he's had the pleasure of meeting thousands of girls all around the world but not one has made him feel the quite the way Landry Bender does and even he'll admit that that's kind of a scary feeling. But it's definitely a good kind of scary.

As he shuts his eyes and drifts off into what is set to be a very uncomfortable night of sleep caused by the limited personal space courtesy of the airplane, Ricky realizes that he wouldn't trade that good kind of scary feeling that Landry gives him for the world and though he doesn't know much, he has a sneaky suspicion that that this is in fact what love is.
