Real or Rumor?

All of the R5 TV's are on PRIVATE? REALThe sad news came into the

R5Family via social media. The fandom started noticing that our beloved "R5 TV" became private on Riker Lynch's channel. When a fan goes on his channel it says that there are no videos or that the videos are private, but this hasn't been the only time this has happened. In 2012, fans noticed that a couple of their favorite R5 TV episodes were put on private for a couple of days. But don't worry you guys! People have made copies of the videos and have posted them online for your enjoyment.

R5 has been choosing between F.E.E.L G.O.O.D. and Dark Side to be the next big single off of their hit record "Sometime Last Night" for quite sometime. A litt le rumor has been going around the South America R5 Family saying that R5 might be f ilming the music video of F.E.E.L G.O.O.D. in a Latin America country. This rumor is FALSE! The band and their management haven't said anything about this annoucement on social media or on the band's website. Maybe a F.E.E.L G.O.O.D. music video will happen in the

future.

R5 is filming the F.E.E.L G.O.O.D. music video in South America? RUMOR

HE LIKED

TO WATCH

HER

A RYDELLINGTON FA NFICTION BY CA M RYNThis is a fanfict ion. The events in this story did not happen, and

any opinions expressed in this story do not represent those of R5 Family Mag or any of the characters involved.

He liked to watch her. Not in a creepy way, of course. When she would work on her homework at lunch, or read by herself when her friends weren?t there that day. The way her cheek would mold to the shape of her hand from leaning on it. The intensity in her eyes when she was getting excited about something she was reading. It was really cute, to be honest. When her friends would make her go outside by snatching her

book from her hands and she succumbed to their demands just to get it back. When she would finally bring her crinkly two dollars during the last 15 minutes of the lunch period to the lunch lady and the wrinkly lady smiled at her and called her by her last name. ?Look who it is! Ms. Lynch!? The way she smiled when her friends finally arrived at the lunch table and the speed of her hands tapping on the table as she told her friends for the millionth time that she must have been a drummer in her past life even though she plays the keyboard. The different band t-shirts she would wear from the insane amount of concerts she went to. He loved it.

~ It was June 26th. The last day of school. The last day of high school

forever. He had been watching her since freshman year, and now they were seniors. And he had never spoken to her, ever. All his friends made fun of him. They knew he was basically in love with her even though he would never admit it. They were in a few classes together every year and she smiled at him occasionally if he was caught staring. He hoped she didn?t find it creepy because that would be absolutely horrifying. Her name was always in his head. Rydel Lynch, Rydel

Lynch. Her blond hair lightly bouncing up and down when a small breeze blew past her. He couldn?t do this anymore. He couldn?t look at her everyday, anymore. He had to do something. He had to use his words! Speak his mind! He had contemplated saying something to her just about everyday for the last 4 years and he would walk over to her and just as he was about to speak, turn the other way and completely

abandoned his mission. Today, he decided he was going to complete his mission. His four-year-long mission.

~

?So you?re definitely going up to her today?? Ellington?s best friend, Brendon had been watching him stare at Rydel for as long as he could remember.

?Yes! I?m doing it! I?m going up to her and finishing this battle!? Ellington had said, slamming his fist down on the lunch table.

?Okay, this isn?t Game of Thrones, man. Calm down.?

Ellington looked up at his friend with confusion, ?Have you ever even watched that show??

?No, but I know it?s about like ?dueling? and shit, but that?s not the point!? Brendon said, waving his

hands in the air, ?The point is that you?re going up to her today and you?re telling her whatever the hell has been in your mind for the last four years.?

Ellington was feeling confident. He was ready. He hoped he was ready. He slowly started to get out of his seat, probably shaking from nerves, but he was already too nervous to tell. Slowly but surely he made his way to her table. There he was,

standing right next to her, not saying anything. This was already awful. ?Oh, hey Ellington!? Rydel said, looking up from her book. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. HOLY CRAP. His head was screaming, but luckily his face didn?t show it.

?Could I..um sit for a second? I have to, um, tell you something.?

?Yeah, sure. What it is it?? He sat down, slowly feeling his legs shaking.

?Please don?t find this creepy but I?ve been watching you during lunch and stuff for the last four years.?

The look on her face made Ellington sweat through his t-shirt.

?Before you say anything, I just wanted to tell you that I?ve watched you because I?ve had a massive crush on you for the last four

years. Now, today, on the last day of school forever, I finally found the courage deep within

me to go up to the beautiful, really, really cool girl I?ve seen and just observed everyday because I couldn?t get over how amazing she is and funny and smart. All I?ve done is watch you and look at you because I fell in love with you without even talking to you, just admiring you. I?ve been admiring you for four years. Your books, and band t-shirts and the way you smile at your friends and the lunch lady when she calls you ?Lynch?. I love how you always make TV show references and laugh at the stupidest things and make the worst corny jokes but I laugh at them anyway. Rydel Lynch, I am in love with you,? I stood up and raised my voice so the entire cafeteria could hear me, ?RYDEL LYNCH I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS AN-? She quickly got out of her seat, putting her

hands on his cheeks and pulling his face into hers. He was kissing her. She was kissing him. And it felt so right. Her hands fell to his neck and his arms wrapped around her back. He felt her smiling and he smiled back. They

were interrupted by the sudden applause of fellow classmates from all around the cafeteria. They slowly pulled away, leaving their foreheads on each other, laughing.

?I forgot to mention...I?ve also kind of had a massive crush on you for the last four years,? Rydel laughed.

?Oh, really? I couldn't tell,? Ellington teased. They both sat back down and decided to talk for the first time in four years. Even up close, and after talking to her and kissing her, he still liked to watch her.

Yes, actually I have. My first time was 04th

of March 2014! I've actually seen them 4

times now. One of which I accidentally

gave myself mild hypothermia because I

waited in the cold outside the venue for 12

hours. Oops.

Oooh, this is a hard one. I don't own

LOADS of merch since I live in the UK and

the shipping prices are colossal! But I

think I'm going to have to say my most

recent purchase, the STLN Tour Tee. :)

-What is your favorite item of R5 merch

that you own?

-Have you ever gotten meet & greet

and met them in person? If so, how

many times? Tell me about your

experience.

-Have you ever seen R5 live in concert? If

so how many time?

Yes I have! Actually and honestly I

have gotten m&g every time I've

seen them. So number of times

would be 4! Each m&g experience

has been completely different as I've

gone in with someone else each

time. Though I would say my

confidence around them has

majorly improved and I am

beginning to just recognise them as

R5 rather than... OMG R5.

I used to however I just don't have time anymore as I'm so utterly consumed with

work and exams!

YES! Me and my mother would watch it every time it aired in the UK! It was a

show that we bonded over and loved dearly.

-Do you watch Glee?

-Do you watch Austin and Ally?

Yes, when Riker was on

it. However because it's

an American show had

never previously

watched it before

Riker. In the UK we

have Strictly Come

Dancing so I usually

watch that instead.

Yes! Though if I'm

100% honest I'm not a

fan. It's a rocking movie

but just not my usual,

thriller/horror type.

DUH

-Did you watch

Dancing with the

Stars?

-Did you watch Teen

Beach Movie? Teen

Beach 2?

-Do you ship

Rydellington?

Oh gosh, all of them? Haha, no being honest girls gotta stick together so I'm going

to have to say Never! Suck a rocking song that is awesome to dance to in the rain. ;)

Loud? Oooo, ummm, it's gotta be I want you bad! I could play that song on repeats

day in day out!

Things Are Looking Up! It's such a feel good song that's so awesome to listen to

when you're feeling a little blue.

Probably Ain't No Way We're Going Home. Just because it has such a rocker vibe

and can I just mention Rockys riffs?!?! Two words, IN LOVE.

-What is your favorite song off Louder?

-What is your favorite song off Ready Set Rock?

-What is your favorite song off Loud?

-What is your favorite song off Heart Made Up on You?

I know you got away and Did you have your fun are my two favourites!

We'll probably Riker! Though Rocky is a close runner up. ;)

Girls by The 1975 !! That cover is so dope!

Hmmmm, Heart made up on you! Love the storyline within the music video!

THANKSGIVING

The R5

By Elise

This Thanksgiving wasn't just about the food it was about family

for R5. The band along with family members, friends and dance

teachers celebrated the holiday on the beach in California when

they had a little break from their tour. Friends like Brittany Burton,

Rydel's bestie from The Rage and Tiffany Burton Rojas, the  

dance teacher who

helped launch R5 and

Ryland into the world

of entertainment joined

the stuffing and turkey

fest. The family posted

Snapchats and

Instagram posts to

show us what they

were doing on the

holiday. The night

ended with a bonfire

and smores and

everyone gathering

around to enjoy each

other. Yes, the

holidays like

Thanksgiving do have

food featured in it, but

family and friends are

more important than

food and R5 hit that

concept right on the

nose.

I t 's An

R5 ChristmasOnce again, R5 is all about the family. They hung out with their cousins, aunts, uncles and Papa at the Keystone Lodge in Keystone, Colorado for Christmas like they do every year, but this time some of the celebrations were dif ferent. Vanni and Riker visited her family in Denver during the holiday season. Courtney joined Ross and his family for the celebrations at the lodge and their cabin in the mountains. Ellington went back to his hometown and visited with his family including his very hip Grandma that we all know and love. Traditions stayed alive during the season, but R5 has brought in new people and new traditions that I hope will stick for the future.

What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

Written By: ElisePlaying the Venetian for thousands of fans, getting to party til l 4am in the morning with some of your best friends and living it up on your birthday is what R5 experienced when they went to Las Vegas on December 29th-January 1. All of the wonderful moments were caught on camera and Ross was even asked to take a photo for a group of people who were having fun. They felt normal in the city, but normality quickly blew over when they performed. The band had special guests like Mark Ballas from Dancing with the Stars and of course Ryland who made the crowd pumped to see R5. The band sported suits and Rydel wore dresses. This will not be the last t ime we see R5 in Vegas.

That's

It!
