Mya was sitting backstage in the Audacious Amour dressing room when Rosie came in and plopped on the couch next to her. She stopped her drumming on the table in front of her and glanced at the younger girl.

"What's the matter, doll?"

Rosie sighed and sprawled out on the couch, her head ending up in Mya's lap. "I'm sad." Mya let out a small laugh and patted her head.

"And why are you sad?"

"Because One Direction are a bunch of jerks. And because of Sam and her broken necklace. What if Cass can't fix it?"

Mya frowned at Rosie. She didn't want to think about Cassidy not being able to fix the necklace. All of the girls knew how much Sam cared about it. It was the most important thing to her and now it was gone possibly for good.

"I know they're dicks, Rose. You just have to ignore them. We're on tour for our fans and they're all that matters."

"I know."

"And don't think like that. We just need to have faith in Cass, okay?"

Rosie sighed. "Yeah, you're right. I just feel kind of down right now."

"Well cheer up, buttercup! We're about to go on! Then, after the show, we could get a whole crapload of sweets to drown our problems in."

The younger girl perked up, grinning widely at her bandmate. "Promise!?"

Mya held out her pinky and Rosie interlocked their fingers. "Promise."

Rosie jumped up and bounded out of the room to most likely go get ready and pump up the other girls. Mya smiled and stood up to stretch before making her way out of the room, only to bump into someone on the way.

"Sorry! I didn't mean-" Mya stopped midsentence and jumped away from the pair of arms that were wrapped around her when she saw who they belonged to.

"No, it was my fault. Sorry about that." Liam offered her a sheepish smile.

Mya on the other hand, simply gave him a scowl. "You're right, it was your fault. Why were on your way to our dressing room anyway? What, did you wanna take something else valuable to us and break it?"

Liam held up his hands in a way of surrender. "No! No, I would never! I was just coming to wish you girls good luck. We always like to give the people we're touring with encouraging words. Granted, we haven't exactly done that these past few nights what with the hostility about, but we just-"

"Look, Liam, save your breath. The bottom line is, we hate you guys and you hate us. Stop trying this little peacemaker act, okay? It's no use. Now, if you'll excuse me." Mya brushed past Liam and headed down the hall towards the stage where she needed to begin getting ready to go on.

Liam watched the tan girl storm down the hallway and he couldn't help but feel bad. Sure her band was just as much as fault over this silly feud but, he just wished Harry and Louis could've been much more mature about it before it blew up into such a big thing. He loved his friends but sometimes they could behave like complete idiots.

Mya and the girls played yet another flawless show and left the stage feeling as excited and full of adrenaline as they always did after a performance.

They were sprawled out around their dressing room cooling down when the boys of One Direction walked by the open door. Liam and Niall offered the girls small smiles and Harry and Louis sneered at them. Zayn cast them all a curious glance but his face didn't indicate much. Mya decided not to pay much attention to them in order to hold on to her post show vibes.

Once they were past the door, Cassidy jumped up from her spot on the couch. "You guys wanna see something cool?" She asked the rest of her band.

"Does it require me moving?" Mya mumbled from under the towel she'd thrown over her face. Cassidy rolled her eyes and grabbed her bandmate's hand, pulling her from the couch.

She led Mya and the others out of the dressing room and to the side of the stage. The five girls stayed in the shadows and watched One Direction do their little pep talk and hug before it was their cue to run onstage.

"Viv and I had a little fun earlier and we wouldn't want you guys to miss it." Cass high fived the red head girl in question as they pulled their friends closer.

The girls watched as the boys jumped around like morons to their first song and Mya was going to ask what they were looking at until she noticed something wrong with Liam's plaid shirt. He was standing under a particular bright light and she was sure she could see right through the shirt and it looked as if he was wearing almost nothing. The same could be said for Niall's cherry red polo.

One of the lapels on Harry's blazer seemed to be sagging and she could've sworn she'd seen a button or two fly off of Zayn's varsity jacket when he fist pumped.

"What did you do?" Sam whispered to Vivian who was smiling like the Cheshire cat.

"We just did a few...wardrobe edits."

"Yeah, you know, loosening some thread, making two layered things one layer." Cass choked back a laugh as she watched the seam on the back of Louis' red trousers split in two. "Okay, so maybe not all of the changes were subtle."

The girls couldn't stop laughing as the boys and the fans began to notice the problems. The cheering of the voices in the arena got louder and there was a boom of laughter by some. The look on Harry's face when he realized his blazer was falling apart was priceless. The best part about it was that they had to do their whole first part of their performance in their unfortunate clothing situation and not leave the stage.

Mya did have to say, although they looked like fools, they took it all in stride and carried on performing as if the malfunctions were normal. It was just the matter of how pissed they'd be once the show was over.

"Okay, since tonight has been going so well so far, what's say we go and load up on junk food and then barricade ourselves on the bus so we don't have to deal with those assholes and their attitudes when they get off stage." Mya raised her eyebrows in question at her friends who all agreed and followed her to the dressing room to get their things and scurry off before the boys' upcoming wardrobe change.

"Do you think Viv and Cass will get in trouble?" Rosie asked Mya as they headed into a convenience store across the street from the venue.

"I doubt it. There isn't much management can do. I mean, they only yelled at us when we broke that hotel ice machine last year and that was way worse. We'll be fine." Rosie nodded and ran off to join Sam in the candy aisle.

She knew Vivian and Cassidy wouldn't get in too much trouble, other than a lecture maybe by their management. She couldn't help but be intrigued by how One Direction would retaliate though. The score for them was still zero after all.

"Those nasty bitches! I can't believe they'd do that!" Harry was completely seething by the end of the show. The rest of the boys were infuriated as well, even Liam and Niall.

"Messing with the end of the show is one thing," Niall started, referring to them interfering with Harry's solo. "But screwing with the beginning when we still have the rest of the night to perform? That's just cruel." He shook his head, a rare scowl placed on his face. The Irish boy was usually carefree and didn't get involved in the two bands' drama, but he couldn't help but be more than a little angry.

Liam was surprised mostly. He was surprised at how angry Niall was and at how fired up Harry and Louis were. He was mostly surprised at Audacious Amour. He hadn't anticipated in them forcing the boys to do the first part of their show nearly half naked. It was a low blow in his opinion.

"They're not getting away with this! There is no way they're going to get to just sit back and laugh about this. We're getting them back." Louis said in a rush. Harry, Zayn and even Niall agreed with him. They all glanced at Liam who sighed and thought for a second before he too agreed. He didn't particularly want to play dirty. He had even tried to make peace. Sometimes though, there was just no use in being nice. Sometimes people just needed a taste of their own medicine.
