There was only one thing Scooby hated about tour, and that was waking up at o-dark-thirty in the morning. It was never a gentle wake-up, either. Calvin's voice made him jump as it cut through his sleep and dreams. There was no way he was going to 'rise and shine'. He'd only been on tour four days and he was already exhausted. Meet and greets were always extremely draining for the vocalist, sometimes even more draining than when they performed. Sure Scooby enjoyed getting to be more up close and personal with their fans, but some them could be a bit...crazy. There were the full band photos and there were one on ones and then there was the after party. Which meant there was dancing, a bit of drinking, and at the end of the night; Scooby almost sleeping on the couch in the bus. Thankfully he'd made it into his sweats and into his bunk. Shrugging around in his blankets Scooby rolled over and slid one hand out through the curtain of his bunk to flip off their manager wherever he may be. He pulled his arm back in and snuggled it back under his blanket before turning rolling back over and pulling his blanket over his head. It wasn't hard for Scooby to get comfortable and fall back asleep, at least for a few minutes.
Before he knew it Calvin's horrible singing voice was pulling him out of his wonderful dream land and back into reality. Why couldn't the man just let them sleep? Groaning and grumbling Scooby picked up and pillow and placed it over his head to try and drown out their manager, but it was no good. As he began to hear people moving about Scooby knew there was no way he was going to be able to fall back asleep. Besides, he hadn't even showered the night before so he definitely needed to get in there before their twenty minutes were up. Yawning a bit, he rolled over and turned on his phone. As always there were quite a few notifications between his personal twitter, instagram, and tumblr. Poking his head out Scooby watched the girls start filing in and out of the bathroom. He groaned a bit as his head started to throb when his eyes hit the lights. He'd probably had a bit too much to drink the night before, and this was no way to start off the day. Pulling his head back in, the singer turned down the brightness on his phone and scrolled through his social media before two texts came in. It was odd how his sisters couldn't just text him from the same phone. They were probably together, but nooo, they had to each tell him how excited they were about his tour from their own phone. Texting both of the girls back quickly, and telling them to go to bed, Scooby stretched a bit before slowly poking his head out again.
Once the bathroom was clear the brunette slipped out of his bunk and went inside, carrying a towel, fresh boxers, pants, and his toothbrush and tooth paste. He needed a shower and he needed it bad, along with a quick wake up call. At home he would have a nice relaxing warm shower every morning, but on tour it had to go a bit differently. For one, Scooby could barely turn around in the restroom without hurting himself, plus he had to use up as little time as possible. His morning routine was fairly short compared to most and it wasn't like he had to look that nice in the mornings, it was just breakfast. Dropping his clothes on top of the toilet Scooby turned on the cold water and stripped down before jumping into the stream. He hissed a bit as the water hit him like ice, but he already felt much more awake. Adjusting the water a bit things warmed and Scooby quickly washed his hair and body before getting out and drying himself off. He pulled on his boxers and pants before leaving the bathroom to go brush his teeth at the sink. Even though his hair was only towel dried it was already drying quite quickly. Running a hand through his hair to push his brown locks back Scooby gave himself a wink in the mirror before moving on.
He walked back out to his bunk where he'd left out a clean shirt, jacket, and hat. His head still throbbed a bit, but it was better and he was slightly more awake but his bunk still looked very inviting. Reaching into his bag to get out a pair of shoes and some socks Scooby headed towards where the rest of the band was hanging out.
"So, did anyone sleep well?" He heard Felix ask as he entered the back of the bus. "I slept pretty alright, probably would've been even better if I had woke up on my own instead of having my ears started bleeding." He joked, going straight for the coffee pot. He filled a mug mostly with coffee before slipping a bit of irish cream and regular creamer and sugar in as well. There was no proof that such a drink would cure Scooby's hangover, but in his mind it helped. "You know,Cali, you missed your calling..." He spoke in a very nonchalant manner. "I bet if they had you sing in interrogations they could confessions a hell of a lot faster!" He plopped down on an open spot on the couch and stifled a yawn.
