One World Not Three - 0.1 Spain | Chapter One

A Chapter by Rayin

Tour 0.1 - Spain | Chapter One: Golden Sun

Lain stretched backwards as the plane slowly landed, the quiet feeling as the wheels touched the ground shook through the entire plane
and the jolt when right up Lain's leg making him squirm as his fingers now intertwined spasmed before the feeling subsided.
Breaking his fingers apart he looked over to the seat next to him where Luso quietly dosed.
"How long has it been since I last slept quietly" Lain sighed, his recent insomnia had been a real pain in the backside and the sleeping pills
did nothing to help they simply increased his anxiety levels...
Distracted in his own thoughts Lain continued to look across to the adjacent pair of seats.
There was a man...no a boy
"surely he can't be 18 yet" Lain mumbled as he looked at him,
"Christ he looks just as bad as me...I bet he gets wasted every night" lain continued to observe the guy he had brown wavy hair with his black jeans
he seemed to stare off into space.
The call over intercom made Lain jump in his seat
"We have arrived in Malaga Spain and its a whopping hot day today with temperatures well over there normal heights."
"Oh great" Lain thought to himself as he sighed thinking about the black denim guy..."he is so going to suffer out there" Lain chuckled...

"And don't forget your ear-plugs, because Malaga is a music designation spot for some hard rock and other. Oh but I don't need to tell you that
I am sure your all hear to catch some big sounds! Enjoy yourselves!!!"
The intercom voice went off and a woman dressed in navy blue stepped in the isle and started dismissing passengers.
Lain nudged Luso awake who came round in a mumble before sitting up, the woman took no time to reach there isle slowly Luso stood up to grab
his bag before moving into the alleyway to let Lain get his.
As they turned to move out the plane Lain noticed the denim jeans guy had gotten off extremely fast "hm"
"What...why did you Hm?" Luso questioned as they progressed towards the door and through into the air conditioned tunnel as they progressed
towards the airport arrivals lobby.
"Oh nothing, ... here's a good one, what about the feeling that you need to rush off the plane quickly because you think its going to take off"
"Hah" Luso laughed out loud "That's another good one, add that to the list of common paranoias later"

Lain moved his red hair aside as they stepped into the still chilly conditioned arrivals lobby and was almost taken aback, before quickly gathering his
stability, the amount of musical instruments encircling the conveyor belts was...ludicrous
Luso had noticed this as he snickered
"You know, things will never be the same again, viva la revolution" Luso giggled slightly.
"Come on Lain you know itll be easy to find our stuff we put stuff on them so we could easily tell our own stuff from the rest so stop worrying!"
Luso had practically read Lains mind, moving swiftly to the correct conveyor they grabbed a luggage trolley.
It didn't take long for them to gather all there stuff together, they had stuck yellow and black hazard tap around there equipment, along with that all of Lain's equipment were cased in sets of unique red.
Wheeling there way out of the luggage area and into the lobby where instruments and people moved constantly, inner windowsills and coffee tables
were filled with musicians and their fans.

Lain was so busy looking around that he did not see the person in-front of him until the last second upon where he immediately went into apologetic
mode presuming he had bumped into the person, but before he could open his mouth he felt two to three pairs of arms grab him tightly
a few light squeals were let out.
Luso was chuckling to the side of him whilst Lain went dizzy from the arms and the hugging that was still unexplained.
Finally they let go and as Lain fell back to recover his breath he looked at the lovers, two girls one had long red hair and a long sleeved jumper, the kind that you see in anime (Lain is a otaku XD) where even when the arms are upwards the sleeves still cover the palms.
The other girl wore a NewJack band tee with the tribal design logo, she had short blonde hair. The other glomper was a boy of about 18 and who
Lain instantly recognised as the common turn out at there gigs. His name was something like....like..........
"Ra..yn?" Lain looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow, instantly a smile crept onto his face before jumping once or twice
"You remembered oh my god oh my god, I thought you would forget, oh shweet this tour is going to be awesome AWESOME!"

Rayn was wearing a light short sleeved shirt with the NewJack logo invert colours on the side and NewJack plastered on his chest, he wore a beany
hat like those boys on skateboards, and his fringe hair was shifted to the side.
"So...why are you here?" Lain looked at the trio with a raised eyebrow before wobbling slightly.
Luso's expression changed quickly before stepping forward and placing a hand on Lains shoulder. he turned to the three
"He hasn't been able to sleep for the past week or so, so he's pretty forgetful, not to mention serious JetLag"
Luso turned his head to face Lain's
"Lain...Sami, Liz and Rayn have come quite far to go with us on this part of the tour...Remember the competition we put out
the lucky fans who won could come with us for the Spanish leg of this trip..."

"Hay hay, I remember man," Lain patted Luso on the shoulder before leaning over and smiling "Hey sorry about that guys...Let's get to the tour bus"
The trio and Luso cheered before the five of them pushing there baggage trolleys passed out the arrival gate and moved to the front door.
As the automatic glass doors parted the most inconceivable heatwave pounded down onto the five and the effect it had on them was incredibly visible
There movements became very sluggy as they adjusted to this new kind of heat. Only Luso seemed to keep happy about it,
"Come on guys get used to it quickly so we can enjoy ourselves a bit more! And Lain you reallly better get used to it, we will be moving from hot country to cold country a-lot" Lain let out a groan as Rayn looked disappointingly downwards (he wanted to go with them all the way).
The five of them moved across the road and up a z styled slope that led them upwards to a car lot specifically for rent out cars.
Passing through into the shade of the over hangs the five sweating like mad trudged onwards before turning the corner around a brick building and
back into the heat for a short while, before entering the bus and coach depot shade.

"There it is!" Luso called out excitedly as he pointed towards a large coach with NewJack's logo and other band logo's placed along the side
on the far right there band label was plastered "the design incorporated label" Liz said out loud before sniggering as she clung onto Sami's arm.
Rayn sort of drifted in the middle, Luso caught hold quickly of his isolation and threw his arm around Rayn's shoulder making him jump
"So Rayn ma man! What's it like to be out in the heat, making you sweat?"
"Hah" Rayn nervously laughed but didn't answer as he tried not to make eye contact
"Ohh I see, still feeling weird, and I here I thought you had gotten over that after the third time of finding your way into our backstage room"
Luso mocked as they proceeded across the outside bus depot floor, going in and out of shade

"Well you know...When your watching music live, because you know the music that's playing and you have heard of the band before it makes you
feel like their your best friends straight away because you love them...or at least you think you do, really you just love the music there producing...
but that feeling shatters when you actually end up getting real friendly with the musicians. It suddenly dawns on you that...really you don't know them, and they don't know you, so you have to start again like you would with normal people......."
Rayn finished monologuing, and Luso laughed
"you couldn't be more correct, BUT! I know you and you know us. We know you were there at practically all our shows, even when we first started
off in the small time areas" Luso encouraged
"The Slade Rooms!" Rayn picked up
"That's right the Slade rooms in wolverhampton, we were laying support for Futures, all of us small time bands...Well we still are even now
but it feels great when you know that at least one or two people in every country knows of you and enjoys your music...The internet sure is a wonderful thing..."

They reached the truck pretty quickly after that and moving round the other side a few people had already gathered...turns out there were two to three more trucks plastered in a row after NewJacks bus...
Some of them were sitting in deck chairs and others were standing next to each other talking with beers.
A few seconds after the five had turned the corner to come across such a gathering, someone called out
"OI, NEWJACK'S R ERE" and a good number of people in the crowd cheered.
A small group of four moved over to Lain and co to greet them with shaking hands
"Hey, howr you doing"
"Not too bad, bloody boiling though isn't it"
"Ahh hay mucho calor"
"SI SI Tu hablo Espanol !?!"
"Si mi padre hay un poco de espanol, pero yo hablo porque mi colegio...eh....whats the word now, ah screw it
I learnt Spanish in secondary school"
Luso walked off with the spanish talking guy and one of the 4 followed him the 3 fans watched them walk off and stood there with Lain nervously...

"Hey aren't you guys talking to each other or something?" Lain asked over his shoulder as the trio looked at each other...
"Never mind, let's go get a drink" Lain moved towards the drink box as the banwagon jumpers followed in pursuit, the other guy from the spanish
group came with and started talking to Lain about bass as he handed glasses and drinks to the fans.
Time passed a while and only one or two people had left to go inside there coaches...
Lain was lounging on a deck chair that he had gotten from the coach, the instruments had been stored away.
Sami, Liz and Rayn had gone off and somehow managed to spark conversations with different band members as they laughed the sun had started to
set.
Luso swiftly appeared next to Lain and filled him in
"Sorry it took a while, basically what's happening is, we got 4 coaches here in Malaga and 3 in Madrid up north. Since these are the major airports
that's where the majority of the bands in the Spanish leg have landed, though apparently some smaller covens have landed in small time airports...
Basically what the guys over there think is happening is, the 4 coaches go off in different directions from this point, one heading along the west coast
to Benalmadena whilst another coach heads along the East coast to Alicante. The other two coaches head off in 45 degree angles almost, one north West and the other north east. No-one goes to Madrid from here yet because the small covens dotted around are going to be jumping around whilst
one or two finish there leg and go to Madrid to finish up. Don't forget that bands have been coming in and out of the country for a good couple of weeks so were not the first...Well anyway, were going to be going in which ever direction, and hitting some smaller stages as headliners then some of the bigger stages as support, though either way were getting somewhere in the music industry..."

Luso breathed as he noticed Lain eyeing an individual in the crowd... following his gaze.
"Wasn't that guy on the plane with us. God he must be boiling in those trousers"
Lain stood up and moved over "Im going to say hello"
"Okay well don't take too long were all moving out soon"
"OK!"
Lain moved over, rubbing his eyes from the tiredness as he arrived next to the brown haired stoned complexioned person and tried to get his attention.
"Oh, ... Hi there, Hey, my name's Lain we were on the same plane don't know if you noticed us" Lain held his hand out as a friendly gesture to shake hands.

The man stared at it with his dead eyes for a little while before taking his own hand and plastering it into Lain's.
"hi...names Daniel..."

But before they could progress any further from becoming acquainted

the man with dark hair and glasses started talking calmly down a microphone

"Could I have your attention everybody please! Attention Hellloo you at the back look here...Thank you..."
The crowd fell quiet as all eyes sought the man with the microphone
"Well were all here ... in sunny Spain. Hopefully you have all found your coach, they do have your band logo's on the side but if your too tired or wasted you can come ask the organiser here"
The glasses man pointed at an adjacent member, he was sweating badly and had barely any clothes on at all...seriously if he took any more off he would be practically ready for a porno shoot...

Not letting Lain's mind wander down that path he blocked it with the sound of the microphone

"You all know why your here, you should have everything you need inside

your coach. The assistant designated to your specific coven knows where your

going and all that pallarcky! SO with that out the way LETS GET THIS SUMMER SLAM ON DA ROOOADD!!!"

The short man with glasses turned the microphone off and started talking to the man next to him...Daniel had once again dissipated into thin air and probably gone to join with his band inside their specific coach...

Liz and Sami glomped Lain from behind and started to playfully push him towards the truck, Luso and Rayn were also talking to each other.
"okay okay I can walk from here" Lain laughed as he put one foot

infront of the other.

As they all began to clamber on the bus Lain turned around for one last look of todays sun. Sighing he put a earmuff hat over his head,

"So long revolution..."
