The plane shook when it hit the runway. Clay was shaken awake with a a bang of his head in the widow.
"Ow" that hurt clay more than he expected. He looked over to nick.
"Hey man wake up we landed." Clay tapped him on his shoulder.
Nick awoke with a startled "huh?" , clay laughed and said "we landed."
Clay looked out the window watching as the plane slowly approached the dock.
"You may now take off your seat belts and get ready to exit" played over the speaker. Clay took off his tight seat belt. He scrunched his legs to his chest. He was very tall and air plane leg room was less than comfortable. Nick got up and grabbed his bag from the cabinet. He handed Clay his bag.
" you ready to meet our friends? We will see them in less than a half hour!" Nick smiled.
"Yeah, I can't wait." Clay turned towards the isle. He and Nick shuffled through the plane. When they finally breathed the tangy LA air. He saw the city buzz with life. He walked into the boarding area. He and Nick followed the lines to get to the baggage claim. Ding!

Clay shut off his phone and put it back in his pocket. He watched as the bags flowed out of the conveyor belt. He saw his bag and heaved it out of the ditch. He stood waiting for Nick to find his.
"You ready to go the cars waiting outside?" Clay asked. He pulled out his phone as the Uber messaged him.
"Yeah, I can't wait! I am excited to meet fans and friends!" Nick hurried towards the door. They walked out into the bright light, Clay flipped his sun glasses down. He walked towards the black car. Opening the door for Nick.
"For you my lord", Clay bowed.
"Why thank you m'lady", Nick got in and scooted over. Clay gave him a light punch and got in.
"M'lady? Come on that title belongs to George" Clay smirked. Nick pulled out his phone and faced it towards Clay, "say that to George why won't you".
Clay put his hands up and flinched. Nick and clay giggled. They gave the driver the address and their small drive started.
"Hey who's in the air b+b with us?" Clay asked.
"Oh I think you, me, Karl, Wilbur, Alex and George of course."
"Oh cool", clay saw the house approach. "Hey we are here". He nudged Nick off of his phone.
They thanked and payed the Uber driver. They got their bag out of the trunk. They walked up to the front porch. They rang the door bell of modern sleek house. Wilbur opened the door and smiled as he saw his two friends standing in front of him.
"Oh my god it's so great to see you guys", he said enveloping them into a large hug.
"Clay wow your taller than me I wasn't expecting that!" Wilbur stated.
"Hey guys they arrived", Wilbur stepped back into the house. Everyone jumped up expectantly. Everyone greeted the boys. Finally George came down stairs. He ran full speed at Clay. He immediately jumped into a huge hug with his best friend.
"Jesus I almost hit the door", Clay grabbed on to George to keep him from falling. Looking around he saw that Nick was staying in a hug with Karl for a little too long. Although he really couldn't judge.
He smelled George's hair. The sweet scent of vanilla emanating off of George. He set the small boy down.
"So where can we put our stuff?" Clay said shuffling past George.
Wilbur gave him a look. "About that..."Wilbur looked down, "we pulled names out of a hat and you are paired with George."
Clay looked at George, "that's fine, where is the room?"  'I thought George called the room for us. Wilbur must have been lieing' clay thought.
Nick interjected "who am I paired with?"
Karl smiled at him "me."
Nick followed him up the stairs as Clay and George walked in front of them. Clay and George walked towards a white door. George opened the door. Clay was shocked as he saw one huge king bed.
"One bed?" Clay looked at George.
"Yeah I know right? I'm convinced they didn't even pick names they just put us here or something!"
"It's okay I'll take the floor if you want?" Clay rolled his suit case to the corner of the room. 'George picked this room. Why?'
George looked down "we can trade nights if you want."
Clay smiled 'George was always so considerate'.
He plopped on the big fresh made bed.
"Ugggg I am so tired but so awake at the same time." Clay turned his head. He saw George sitting in the very edge of the bed. "Jet lag you know?" Clay turned back to facing in the covers.
"You know what helps with jet lag? Food." George said getting up, "I'm hungry let's go somewhere. Want to invite anyone?"
"Nah, too overwhelming let's have it just be us for now we can talk with everyone later." Clay grabbed his phone off of his suit case and slipped it into his pocket. George snatched the keys to the rental car and picked his wallet. "Want to drive or want me to?"
Clay looked the small boy up and down, "your so short can you even reach the pedals?" He snatched the keys out of George's hand and held them up above his head. "Not too fast" he said as George tried to get them away. He was on his top toes touching clays waste in order to boost himself higher.
"Damn you fucker", George playfully jumped in a last ditch effort. Clay poked him in the stomach.
"Come on it's getting late." Clay started to walk into the hallway.
The two walked past the commotion in the living room on there way to get some food.
