Do you remember when Harry was freaking out and Niall was…? pic.twitter.com/9FsSxReHF7— Emma ?? (@emmaislovelyx) July 20, 2016
If you’re unfamiliar, Louis and Zayn helped prank the rest of the boys into thinking their producer for Nickelodeon was going into labor right in front of them. The reactions of Harry, Liam and Niall are absolutely hilarious! A frantic Harry Styles immediately rushes to the woman’s aid, while Liam attempts to phone her husband. Nialler takes a calmer route, choosing to sit back for a bit while the boys handle the bizarre situation. More hilarious, however, is the reaction when they find out they’re being pranked. Check out the video here.

We were understandably weepy during One Direction’s final tour date. The hugs at the end didn’t help the state of our emotions. Especially this one!

An extremely bittersweet moment for fans. Everything was seemingly coming full circle. The boys were about to embark on a much needed and necessary break on the stage where it all began.Their final performance of the night was the fan anthem, History. The lyrics of this song are ones that we’re holding onto tight.
This is not the end / This is not the end / We can make it / You know it, you know
One Direction often credit their fans as being the best in the world. Directioners show their loyalty in numerous ways; whether it be by fan art, fan fiction, or fan projects such as the hugely successful No Control Project, their dedication to the group is one of a kind. This passion, combined with the sheer talent of One Direction are what sent the group into stardom. It has been nearly six years since that fateful day and much has been accomplished since then. Though they may be taking a break at the moment, their impact remains. Their music continues to stand the test of time, as fans eagerly await their return.
Here’s to many more years of making new memories!
