Emmet rolled over sleepily as he roused himself, it was about four hours after they had fallen asleep. He turned on his side and looked down at Emily who was curled into a ball peacefully sleeping next to him. He smiled and thought to himself, 'I could get used to seeing that everyday. She's a trip, so different than any of the girls back home. Maybe, we can get off the ship tomorrow in Jamaica and have an actual first date instead of waiting.' As Emmet talked to himself he had glanced down at Emily and her face had suddenly tensed. She started thrashing around and shot straight up breathing heavily and screaming 'NO PLEASE DON'T!'. She sat up and realized Emmet was still there. He looked shocked, and slightly scared frozen. "Are you okay? What was that?" He said as he reached to touch her shoulder. She sighed, leaned against him and softly said "Night terrors. I don't have them much anymore but sometimes they...sneak up on me. Sorry." "Don't apologize to me, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." He wrapped her in his arms until she could breathe again. "Are they always the same?" He asked. "Yeah. The same scene. Over and over. When I saw him for the last time, at the trial, he shouted at me. He said 'You'll never get rid of me! I'll always find you, no matter where you run I'll always find you' and he had gotten out of his seat to lunge at me. Everyone thought he was delusional 'cuz well after that he got a life sentence, he'd never be able to get close to me, ever again. It wasn't until I started having these night terrors that I realized he was right. He's always there in my subconscious waiting for me to fall asleep. My mom always said, the boogieman doesn't look scary, that's how he became the boogieman. She's right. I just wish they'd stop." "Don't worry, I'll protect you best I can. Promise. I don't like monsters either, and it's my job to save the princess...." He said as he kissed the top of her head. "Does that make you a prince?" She laughed at him. "Indeed m'lady." He laughed as he took her hand. He bowed, she did the same and they started to dance and spin about the room, laughing the whole time. "We're pretty dorky, you and me." Emily smiled at him as he dipped her backwards. "Good. I didn't wanna be cool anymore." He laughed. "Anymore? Irish who said you were cool to begin with?" She laughed at him. "Hey. Not nice." He said playfully sulking. "I'm kidding. You're the coolest cat I know." She winked at him. Emmet glanced over at the clock. "Whoops. It's time to get ready for dinner." "Ugh, now I have to dress up again...don't I?" Emily sighed looking down at herself. "We both do. But I'm not wearing pantaloons." He laughed. "What if I wore a poofy dress?" She laughed. "Still not wearing any." He laughed in turn. "Well okay, I'm gonna just wear some Capri shorts and a tank then." She said pulling them out of her bag. "Whatever you wear, you'll look radiant." He said as he kissed her cheek. "Flatterer, now get out so I can change." She playfully pushed him. "Okay okay okay. Tonight, I think after dinner there's gonna be dancing...wanna try dancing with me?" He asked. "Absolutely." "Great. I'll be back 'round in ten minutes. Be ready." He said as he walked out the door. Emily changed, brushed her teeth and did her hair. Just like he said, ten minutes later Emmet was back. Emily had never met someone who was as punctual as he was. She loved that, she hated people who didn't keep promises to be on time, she didn't like her time being wasted. They walked to dinner arm in arm. Everyone else was there, except Keith and Treena. No one had seen them since. Everyone figured they'd hidden somewhere. They sat down and everyone began to talk. Finally Treena and Keith walked in, hand in hand both looked very happy.
That night after dinner there was indeed dancing. Keith and Treena danced the night away, eyes locked. Colm and Rebecca danced most of the night, unless she was dancing with George. Neil and Ryan danced with several fans each. Emily and Emmet danced, slowly all night regardless of the song. Arms wrapped around each other they danced until the music stopped.

As people started to filter out, and retire for the night Keith escorted Treena back to her room...or so that's what they said. The other boys were exhausted, and wanted to get some rest so they could explore Jamaica tomorrow so they bid everyone good night and headed to bed. Rebecca had since gone to bed an hour before everything ended and Colm spent the rest of the night flirting with fans. He went to bed as well eventually, and soon it was once again Emily and Emmet. They slowly meandered towards Emily's cabin hand in hand. It was almost 3am. "I don't want you to leave me." Emily whispered softly. "I don't want to leave you. I want to stay in this moment forever. Just like this." He whispered back. "Then don't go." Her voice pleaded, but it was almost like her heart, her soul was willing him to stay with her. Not just tonight, but as a companion. "Let me get changed, grab a few things and I'll come back." He said hoping he was allowed to spend the night with her. Not in a sexual way, just with her in his arms. "Hurry." She whispered. He set off almost running down the hall to his room. Emmet entered the room to find the lights off and only Colm snoring away...Keith's bed was empty. He turned the small light on so he could see. Accidentally rousing Colm. As Emmet was putting movies, his laptop and a tooth brush in a small bag Colm turned to his friend, eyes still half closed with sleep. "What are you doing mate?" "Go back to sleep." He willed Colm not to ask questions. He of course didn't. Colm just rolled over away from the light and started snoring again. Emmet, once again in his flannel lounge pants and a tee shirt, grabbed his bag and headed back down the hallway. He knocked once then opened the door. "Hey gorgeous. Brought some more movies." He said popping his head in. "Disney ones?" She said from her bed, which was made up into a nest of pillows and blankets. "For my princess, only Disney ones." He said crossing the room to join her. He picked through the movies he had with him. She absolutely loved the fact that he loved Disney as much as she did. Most American men hated Disney. "I have this one Disney movie that the girl in it reminds me of you kinda..." He said climbing over the bunch of pillows. "Kinda? How?" She said trying to grab it from him. "You'll see." And he ran and put it in before she saw it. "Mulan...I love this movie." " You kinda remind me of Mulan. Strong willed, slightly aggressive, smart, and cute as a button." He laughed as she settled against his chest. "Sir, you know exactly the right things to say...why is that?" "Because, I'm with you." They watched Disney movie after Disney movie, and softly talked all night. Until it was nearly sunrise. Neither one was exactly tired, they had laid there all night. Sleepy dreamy bliss. It felt so natural, like they had been doing this forever. Emily sighed, "Oh I don't wanna move..." "Well eventually we'll have to go to breakfast and get a workout in before we get to Jamaica." He said kissing the top of her head. "I know...but this is so nice..." "It's perfect...I could definitely get used to this..." He said. "Do we really have to change for breakfast?" She sighed. "Well.....I mean I guess technically there isn't a dress code.." "Good. 'Cuz this is comfy and I don't wanna change outta my pjs." She sighed as they got off the bed. "Then don't m'dear. I won't if you if you don't." He laughed. "Okay, well then let's get down there." She said as she went to brush her teeth. Emmet walked in next to her toothbrush already in his hand. "Prepared were we?" She giggled. "Yes of course, a gentleman never leaves his lady unattended." "Why me, Emmet? You have thousands, almost millions of women worldwide vying for your attention....but you chose...me? Why would you ever want to get involved in this mess?" She said almost looking dejected. "Why do you do that to yourself, Emily?" "Do what?" She said as he took her hand and turned towards her. "You put yourself down, it's like you don't see the good in your own self." "I don't know....I guess because everyone around me....I got tired of hearing it from them...so I took to doing it to myself so they didn't have to." "Well, stop it." He said more forceful than he meant. "Emily, you are amazing. Truly. I know, maybe I'm a public figure sure...but I don't meet loads of women...fans yeah but they're just that...fans. You...you Emily, are beautiful, funny, smart, compassionate, loud and you're your own woman....you do your own thing. And, I want to be a part of this chaos as you call it, because you are intriguing, and you have kept me on my toes these last two days...and yet it feels like I've known you for ages. I want to be a part of your chaos, I want to be here, with you." "Emmet Cahill, you are simply too much." She said as she kissed his cheek. "You're simply too much yourself...and I love it." He grabbed her hand and they walked down to the dining area. ____________________________________________________________
"AWWWW look at you two....you match!!!" Rebecca shrieked as she saw them come in. They looked at each other and busted out laughing. They hadn't even noticed once all night that they were both wearing grey tee shirts and flannel plaid lounge pants. His were green, black, and white. Hers were black, white, and yellow and had ARMY printed down the one side. "Two of a kind, although what kind...I'm not sure." Ryan said laughing as they sat down. Ryan, Neil and Rebecca were the only ones at breakfast so far. Emmet and Emily sat down after getting coffee, and something to eat. Colm meandered his way into the dining room finally, looking sleepy and confused. "Dude, there you are...I woke up and nobody was in the room. Where have you been all night?" He said looking at Emmet. The other three raised their eyebrows awaiting an answer. "We spent the whole night watching movies." He said confidently. "Aye, finally found someone to watch Disney movies with mate?" He nudged Emily as he passed her. "You're just jealous 'cuz you're not man enough to enjoy a good Disney movie." She called after him. "So, does that mean my brother never got in last night either?" Rebecca chided concernedly. "Guess not." Neil laughed. George arrived shortly after. Breakfast commenced. Still no sign of Keith or Treena. "I'm sure they're hunkered down enjoying one-anothers company." Ryan said as he patted Rebecca's head. She kept looking around for her brother. Eventually, after breakfast was in full swing Keith and Treena sauntered into the dining area. "There you are. Where have you been?" Rebecca said shaking a finger in Keith's face. "Out." He said as they sat down, not even noticing her annoyance. They all ate breakfast and talked until the ship came into port. Sharon came to the table just to run down with them what was expected of them during the outing. "Now, you guys, we're still on a tour and I expect the utmost professional behavior out of all of you!" She started mainly pointing towards Keith, who threw his hands up defensively. "Be back on time, no injuries, no trouble. Good behavior all of you!" She chided at each person. Sharon didn't even seem to notice Treena was sitting there, as all the girls were sitting side by side, basically to either deflect or confuse Sharon..or anyone else watching. After she had finished going over the rules, she left them each with a schedule for the night, they would be performing again that night before dinner. And after dinner of course, acoustic by candlelight, then George would end the night and play his songs until the wee hours.

*This next update is written in Keith's POV, written mostly by celticbear. Somethings were changed slightly.* ____________________________________________________________
The girls sat chattering away about what they wanted to do when they got to Jamaica. They were all so excited. Ryan, Neil, George and Colm were laughing at the girls being such hens, clucking away. So Keith sat back and let his mind wander through the happenings of the previous day, to him; it was almost like a dream even though he knew it was real because just across the table from him Treena sat, as real as could be.
He remembers walking out on the tanning deck, only to stop dead in his tracks. Sitting in the chair right next to Bex was that hot little brunette who had caught his eyes earlier. There was an empty seat beside her, Keith looked over to see Ryan eyeing that chair! Keith made a mad dash for the chair. He thought to himself 'NO WAY HE WAS LOOSING THIS GIRL TO RYAN!' Before Ryan knew it Keith had the spot! Ryan knew that Keith had staked his claim and respectfully bowed out. Keith remembers the conversation going like this. "Hello there love, I'm Keith. Keith Harkin." He extended his hand to her. She took it gracefully. So he kissed it as she introduced herself. "Hello Keith, I know who you are, I'm a huge fan! Been a Thunderhead from the start!" "Whoa, really? Then you're probably aware of the PUB?" He asked her hoping she was. She giggled and blushed. "Why of course, I'm a regular. All the members call me CelticBear, or CB for short." "You're Auntie CB??!?!?!?!" His eyes got as big as saucers. "Yes, but you may call me Treena. Treena Moon." After that, Keith's head was swimming with questions. He was struggling to form sentences and questions. He wanted to know so much about her...he just couldn't decide where to start! He remembers asking her like 50 questions, which she happily answered. She told him she was full blooded Irish, like himself. Her dad had moved them to the States because of a career opportunity when she was 5 years of age. Her parents never actually gave up their Irish citizenship though. He soon found they had not just a mutual love for guitars, surfing and classic cars...but she loved his type of music. He thought to himself, 'Man...what a catch. But, I really want some alone time with her...' So after playing 20 questions, he beckoned for her to join him for a stroll around the deck. They soon were off on their own. He had walked them to a nice quiet spot in an inner hallway and before he could think twice, he grabbed her by the waist, pulled her to his body and kissed her. Hard. They were entwined in a passionate embrace when they heard the voices of Colm and Rebecca calling for them. Keith gingerly held one finger up to Treena's lips to make sure she made no noise. They were never even spotted. The next time they were seen was at dinner, and oh what a magical night it was. Keith found out Treena was a fabulous dancer. It was getting quite late in the evening though, so Keith escorted Treena back to her cabin. He turned to kiss her goodnight and go back to his own cabin, but the look in her eyes suggested she had other ideas...and who was he to refuse a lady? So, he quickly turned on his heel, ran back to his cabin grabbed a few essential items, he was lucky Colm was already asleep and a heavy sleeper. Keith soon returned to Treena and spent the night with her. The next time they were seen, they were walking hand in hand the next morning at breakfast. Bex was really peeved at her brother for staying out all night, but she's not the one who worried him. Sharon scared him out of his wits. If she ever found out about the things he had done last night, she'd not only have his head...but his whole career. It would be worth it to some extent...but still he'd be dead if Sharon knew.
____________________________________________________________
The ship finally came into port in Jamaica. Everyone was so excited. The group was making their way off the ship when the guys got well...mobbed. Several fans literally pushed Treena, Emily, Rebecca, Haley Jo, Laura, Seana, Rachel and Nicole to the ground to get close to the boys. That had only happened once before and nobody was prepared for it. The guys went from celebrity mode to protective gentlemen mode. They started pushing through the mob of fan girls to help their ladies up, making sure everyone was alright. The fans weren't exactly thrilled they had been ignored. But the guys didn't care at that point. The girls were okay. So, they all got up dusted themselves off and marched off the ship and out into the streets. Treena and Keith immediately disappeared. George, Neil, Ryan, Colm, Rebecca and the other girls all went to check out a few local shops. Emmet took Emily by the hand and led her down a side street. He wanted to take her on an actual date and maybe make things official...the right way.

They walked until they found a quaint little restaurant that was empty but for a few patrons. They got a small table outside and sat down. Emmet sat across from Emily and took her hand. "Emily, I know this has been crazy the last two days and it was definitely not what I expected coming on this tour, or this cruise....and I mean...with the cruise only being a five day excursion and me still having to finish out this tour...I didn't see any other opportunity for this...so Emily I would like to count this as our first official date...if ye don't mind." "Of course not. But, I do however have some concerns. First of all, with you being a public figure, and knowing how that can be tough with dating and actually maintaining a relationship, I think it's important that we discuss whether or not this is our first date just to see what happens or first date as a couple...me personally I would prefer the latter. Then also there is the fact that I live in Ohio, and you live in Ireland. So I don't exactly know what you think would be the best way to handle that because I don't have the money or time for constant overseas travelling and neither do you." "I'm gonna stop ye right there sweetheart." Emmet interjected. "First of all... Yes this is officially our first date. As a couple. An exclusive couple. Just to be clear. Secondly Emily, I know as of right now it will be hard with me finishing the tour, and then going back home to Mullingar...but I am actually getting a flat with Colm after this tour, in Dublin 'cuz presently I still live at home as does he. And uh well I know Bex offered ye that job...and she's been looking to move out of her flat for a good bit now but she doesn't wanna live on her own so...if ye took the job I will bet she'd ask ye to move to Dublin with her. I would love it if ye did 'cuz then I'd see ya all the time and maybe while you're not touring with Bex, I could see if ya could travel with us for our tours so that way we'd spend loads of time together. And as far as being a public figure, I know you're concerned that if we go public with this, you'd be stressed that you'd get hate mail or whatever but trust me, the fans will be happy for me...for us. So, what'd you say? Would you ever consider moving to Dublin, working for Bex and being with me exclusively?" His face was so hopeful, his dimples fighting hard not to become craters on his cheeks. Emily took his hand. "Emmet Cahill, it'd be a dream come true." He leaned across the table and kissed her, his hand caressing her face and the back of her neck.

The new couple finished eating and walked around to the various shops and stands looking at all the local merchandise and produce on sale. Emily had never bee to Ireland so she was asking Emmet a billion questions about things she'd need. Where to go, what she'd want to see first and all sorts of things. They found the rest of the group, it was about 3pm two hours before they were supposed to be back. "So, Emily has something to tell ye Bex." Emmet gestured. "I'm gonna take the job." "That's fantastic! Do you need a place to stay? 'Cuz i'm looking at this cute little flat right in Dublin City." She chimed cheerfully. "Sure, if you don't mind that Roger has to come too..." She added. "Well, as long as you don't mind I have Pixie." "They will be best friends!" The boys were rolling their eyes. All the girls were telling Emily how much she was gonna love Ireland, telling her where to go to shop for this and that, already making plans to have a big welcome party and a sleepover. Just like kids. They got back to the ship with plenty of time left before they leave, so everyone decided to go back to the tanning deck and lay out for a bit longer.

Around 5pm the ship left Jamaica. And the boys knew it was time to get ready to perform again, they'd do a group performance before dinner then after dinner today it was Colm, Emmet and Rebecca's turn. Then, after they finished their set Deidre would perform some solo songs. They all went and showered and changed out of their swimwear. Emily got ready for the show, and dinner. And before he went to sound check and rehearsal Emmet came to collect his lady. Emmet lead Emily by the hand backstage. As the boys changed and did sound check Emily once again went to the make up room and got ready to help out. Their team appreciated the extra pair of hands. For Emily, she enjoyed the hustle and bustle of working in a professional setting like this. The rehearsal of course went well. The crowd started filing in to the performance area. The show went well, this time as planned. After the show, Emmet came out to find Emily who was sitting with Rebecca and Treena. Keith arrived shortly after of course. Keith escorted Treena to dinner. The rest of them walked down to dinner together. "Since you'll be moving to Ireland, of course after we're all back home Emmet could bring ye out and I can show you around the Liffey if ye wanted." "I'd like that." "And of course you'll have te come visit me in the Moy sometime as well." Ryan added. "Would love to." "And lass, you'd always be welcome to come stay at my house out in Scotland. I'm sure me wife and daughter would love to have ye about." "Scotland ooh, I'd love to visit! You guys are so nice!" She hugged them all as they walked into the dining room. They all sat down. Dinner went pretty smoothly. Lots of chatter about Emily's new job, how much she'd love Ireland and all sorts of fun. After dinner, Rebecca, Colm and Emmet had to get ready for their set. Emily once again sat out front, Bex gave Emily her camera to take pictures for her website, Facebook and Twitter. And to get some videos to put on YouTube as well. The show was great, Emily got loads of pictures and videos. The three of them were sitting on the stage and Bex stood up to the mic. "This will be our last song of the night, everyone here is gonna hopefully know the words to it. It's one of my favorites. And our Emmet is going to be singing it. Emmet stood up and Bex sat back down. Emmet walked over to where Emily was and reached his hand out to her. He helped her climb on to the stage, Neil walked out on stage and produced a forth chair. Neil once again emerged with two guitars in hand and gave one to Colm and one to Emmet. And then Emmet began to sing to Emily. "Hey where did we go, days when the rains came..." Brown eyed girl was Emily's most favorite song, and Emmet was singing it to her. As he finished singing the song, her face was bright red. But she was smiling. He gathered her in his arms and kissed her. Rebecca snapped several pictures of the kiss of course. The show wrapped up, and they all went back to their rooms to shower and change into comfy clothes. They all met back up on the deck and went to explore some of the other things on the ship. Emmet and Emily sat on the upper deck and watched the waves. He sat back in a lounge chair, and she sat between his legs, leaning back against him and his arms wrapped around her. "We only have two days left, ya know?" Emily said after awhile. "I know. I know. But I wanna live in this moment." He sighed. "Well, tonight I think I'm gonna talk to Bex about when she'd like me to move in with her. I mean I might have to get a work visa or something." "Or, you could get citizenship." He said, looking down at her. "Seriously? You think I should?" "Well, I would like you to...I mean...if it's too soon we could wait but..." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, I'll talk to Bex. If she wants me to move right away of course I'll start getting things in order the day I get back. I promise." And she leaned up and kissed him.
