    "Andi, do you have your passport?" Andi's mother asked for probably the millionth time.

"yes, I do. And extra money, presents for everyone, of course. My birth certificate, dad's credit card, extra clothes just in case-"

"dad's what?" Andi's father piped in.

"nothing. Bye!" Andi replied quickly and kissed her mother's cheek. She then hugged her father and ran to security.

The flight was long, so Andi decided to get in flight wifi. She was on twitter when she realized that she didn't have anybody to pick her up. She wanted to surprise everybody and she couldn't think of anybody to call.

"fuck it." She mumbled and called Spot on face time.

"Andi? Hey, are you on an-"

"is anyone in the room with you?" She asked, before telling him what he needs to do.

"Race, Elmo, Albert and Finch." He listed and turned his phone so that Andi could see them.

"Andi!" They all exclaimed in unison.

"hi boys!" She smiled. "leave the room." She told Spot.

"what, why?"

"I'll tell you when you're out, just leave the room."

    Spot was confused, but he cooperated. Who knows, maybe Andi could punch him through the phone.

"hey guys uh- I'll be right back." With that, he left Elmer's room and sat in the hallway. "okay, I'm out. What is it?"

"pick me up at the airport."

"why?"

"I'm on the way to Manhattan, dumbass." At Andi's words, Spot's eyes went wide.

"WHAT?!" He yelled. Suddenly, Elmer opened the door to check on him.

"Spot, you good?" He asked.

"uh yeah, I'm fine." With that, Elmer went back to his room, closing the door again.

"will you be quiet?"

"okay, okay." He answered. "so I'm guessing you don't want anyone else to know?"

"um, duh!"

Spot furrowed his eyebrows. "wait, so why can't it be a surprise for me?"

"surprise! I'm coming back to 'Hattan!"

He rolled his eyes. "what time am I picking you up at?"

"in about... two hours?"

"'kay, see you in two hours." He then hung up and went back into Elmer's room. He was now impatiently waiting for eight thirty to come. This was going to be a long two hours. Well, not really two hours. He decided he should leave a bit early, so he did.

Spot waited for about twenty minutes at the airport. When he finally saw Andi, his eyes lit up. Andi's did the same when she saw him.

"SPOT!" She yelled, ran to him and engulfed him in a hug.

"hi Tiny." Spot whispered as soon as she was in his arms.

"I missed you." Andi told him, speaking at the same volume as him.

"I missed you too." He replied and hugged her tighter, making sure that she was really here. Andi then realized she needed to get her bags, in which Spot helped her.

"okay, I get that you love cardigans, but seriously, do you need a separate luggage for them or something?" He asked, motioning to the smaller sized luggage. Andi had packed a week's worth of clothes, since that's how long she's staying for, hence the slightly smaller luggage. The bigger one was where her Christmas presents for her friends were. Along with those, she had a medium sized backpack for her laptop, snacks and chargers.
