[New York, New York]

Mitch and Tyler graduated on May 25th, 2012, both on the A honor roll list while keeping up with their blossoming YouTube channels that would eventually fill their piggy banks to the brim with Benjamin's for their long awaited apartment in the Big Apple.

"My little boy's all grown up!" Tyler's mother gushed, hugging him tightly. Tyler laughed slightly, hugging her back and carefully scanning the crowd behind her for any sign of Mitch, who promised and failed to meet him at the front entrance with the keys to their U-Haul van.

"Alright, alright," His mom wiped her eyes of joyful tears. "Come on, let's go meet everyone outside." Mitch and Tyler's families ceased to grow as close as they did over the first two years of their friendship, so even though Tyler would much rather spend the last evening in his house with his family and Mitch, he knew it'd be best if he didn't complain.

Most of Tyler's family were loaded into five cars and driven back to his house, where he was engulfed in dozens of unwanted hugs and kisses. He ate the lasagna prepared for him and trudged up to his bedroom afterwards before anyone could stop him.

His normal comforter and pillows had been packed into the truck already, so he had to sleep on old quilts and his sister's Hannah Montana pillow. All he really wanted to do was freshen up on his piano, but nearly everything was packed and ready for New York.

He still couldn't process the thought of moving. He had lived in Canada his entire life, in the same house, same neighborhood with the same neighbors. He woke up to the loud barking of his beloved dog every morning along with his mother's shouts to get out of bed. He couldn't help but wonder if Mitch was scared. He had seen him plenty of times outside with his younger brother Connor playing soccer or tricking their sisters. It would be odd looking out the window and seeing another set of apartments across the street instead of a nice, simple, suburban neighborhood.

Mitch, on the other hand, was more than excited to leave the rag-tag town of Montreal. It's not like he had any real attachment to it - the only other friend he had before Tyler was Jerome, and he lived in Pennsylvania, which was closer to New York anyhow. Sure, he'd miss his family, but it wasn't as big as a deal as Tyler made it out to be. He was just happy to be on the road again like when he was little.

Mitch was also ecstatic to be moving in with Tyler, of all people, his best friend. He wouldn't have to worry about being alone because he would be there; another fellow Canadian who does the same thing he does and loves it. YouTube.

A lot of Mitch's remaining friendships were connected with YouTube. He recorded with Jerome and some of his buddies more than Tyler, but Tyler didn't mind. Tyler was a beginner, he didn't want to make Mitch look any weaker than Mitch thought he already did.

Both of them fell asleep around midnight the day prior to their move, a book keeping Tyler up, like nothing had changed, and for Mitch, it had. He was obsessed with recording, and his new image. Unbeknownst to Tyler, Mitch hadn't been invested in a real novel since junior year. And, still being a sweetheart, he didn't want Tyler getting the wrong idea, so he fibbed every so often and looked up a random book title Tyler had probably never heard of before and told him he read that over the weekend.
