"You know it had been really good to get out a bit, going new places really helps me write more" Vic said as we strolled around some local stores and browsed what they had to offer.

"Yeah I bet it makes a change" I smiled. I glanced around at some small handmade trinkets, which layed in an open market. Small keyrings and little charms lay on small plastic bags on display. On the other side of the market stall, was a woman, maybe 60 ish with long grey hair tied in a low bun, smiling at us proudly. I bet she made all these trinkets herself, they were beautiful. One in particular caught my eye. It looked like a small purple elephant with intricate diamonds placed around it. I guessed they weren't real but that didn't really matter, it had golden ears and I thought to support some small businesses I would buy it. It looked beautiful after all.

I got out my money and payed the sweet lady who made them.
"Thank you so much" she smiled after handing me my change and we went on our merry way.

"You ok with singing on your first show tonight?" Vic asked me as he grasped my free hand.
"I mean... I'm probably gonna fail but I will try for you" I remarked as I gingerly slid my newly bought elephant into a small side bag.
"I have faith in you, you're gonna do great!" He beamed and plastered and genuine grin onto his face.

But for now I didn't have any intention if thinking about tonight's performance. The idea of it made me anxious and the close I got to the time I knew the worst I would be. Vic squeezed me hand letting me know I was safe and I would be ok. I knew deep down I would be but there are always those thoughts you know?

We wondered around such a beautiful, small alley filled with stalls and shops. Each had it own individual personality and things for sale. The walls of the alley were worn, old white paint which once used to cover there peeled off in large chunks. Yet it added to the rustic feel.

"Ooh! What you got there y/n?" I heard Jaime running up behind me as he pounced onto me and Vic. It was at this moment I realised that
"Woah Hime!" I cried out laughing. He must have spied me putting away my newly bought item.

"Oh it's just the cute elephant thing" I grinned pulling it out of the bag.
"Ooh that's cute! I wish I could see a real Indonesian elephant imagine how amazing that would be?!" Jaime rambled on.
"And scary-" Mike chimed in from behind him. Jaime just rolled his eyes. I looked down at him. He was holding two white bags full to the brim of snacks and gifts.ip

"HIME-" I yelled out a bit louder than I probably should have...
"What" he stared at me with a stupid innocent grin.
"What on earth did you buy now" I said swatting his loaded arms lightly.

"Well let's see." He laughed placing down his bags and emptying them.

"In this one we have snacks but in this one we have items" he pulled out a few small items, sparkly keychains, small wirey bracelets and a bright pink bucket hat. Checking back my laughter I glanced at Vic who also had a hysteric look on his face.

"Oiii, don't laugh..."Jaime said a little hurt but also with a grin on his face. I snatched the bright hat out if his hands and plonked it directly onto his head, scruffing up his spiky hair in the process. I took a step back covering my mouth in tears.

"So whatcha think???" He teased giving a twirl.
"Stunning, beautiful, gorgeous" Vic said clapping his hands.
"Thank you" he said content..the contrast of the hot pink hat to his almost mat back outfit made me laugh.

"Cmon guys let's go" I said as we helped Hime pick up his multiple bags from the floor and continue on our way down the alley.

Just like normal after out shopping haul we headed back to our hotel and this time we knew what time to get back. Out show started at 8pm today so we had to be ready. The sky was dim now a few greyish blue clouds illuminated like neon lights reflecting into the sky, but other than that the sun had said his goodbyes and the moon began to come out.
