Simon, a mid 20s adult, finally saves enough money to get a flight ticket to his favorite place ever, Hawaii. The thought of Pineapples, Hot Sand, and Cozy Hammocks truly amazed Simon when he was just a young boy. The thought of finally seeing the life-long dream you've ever wanted was truly astonishing to him. Even getting on the flight and sitting in his seat, Simon felt a mix of emotions he had never felt before coming from a rough childhood.

SIMON'S POV:
This is it! I am finally moving to Hawaii!...
This strange feeling in my chest. It feels like Excitement, Energetic, Anxiety even. I thought this type of feeling was just a gimmick from fanfictions... I guess I proved two things today: 1, This strange feeling inside of me, and 2, my stupid friends... Or should I even call them those...- Stop focusing on negative stuff Simon, you are about to prove them wrong. Watch it.

Simon gets his massive baggage and heads off, into the city of Honolulu. He sees the massive building of "Sunset Hotel" and with no thought marches in.
Just as Sharon was heading in, he sees a very angry staff pushing a cart full of luggage, fast walking away from any person he sees. "Strange..." Simon thought, but nothing strange could distract him at that point. He continues to march to the closest desk with an available Administrator he could find with.

"Welcome to the Sunset Hotel! The place where your dreams really do come true!..."
"Hello there ma'am! I would like to rent a room?"
"Certainly. Your room is... Room 356! Yehey... Anyways- you share a room with someone named... John! Here are the keys! Have a great day."
"You know, how funny you said this is the place where dreams come true. I actually dr-"

Just as Simon tried to strike up a conversation, the Staff from earlier, bumps the cart into him, making Simon fall on the ground, baggage everywhere 7ft across the floor.

"Oh my god! I am so dearly sorry. Please, let me help." After picking up all the baggage and putting them back in their rightful places, the Staff and Simon shared a glare with each other.

"Oh! He is actually your new roommate, John! Say hi to him!" The Administrator mentioned to Simon, still sharing the glance at John.
"... Oh- right! Hello! I am your new roommate!"
"Uh~ Hello! Nice to meet you!" John tries to stare away, Simon still staring at him.
"He actually works for us! As a return for giving him half of rent as a discount."
"Oh! Hehe... How funny..."
The conversation turns bland, from dandelion to a pale orange.
"I-I must go! I still need to buy more stuff for the hotel..."
"I must go too. It's hard carrying a bag of heavy clothes and internet stuff. Nice meeting you, John!

Both people completely turned around and went back to what they were doing. John simply brushes it off, gets back to work. Simon on the other hand, feels weird, it's like getting slapped at the neck and feeling it just 10 years later... You can't really describe that feeling since no one would believe you. He puts the key in the door, and opens it wide. It had a very large window, sheets close shut for privacy already. Half of the room is already surrounded in random yet interesting stuff, like Crystals and a Metal Cat Skeleton figure. There are two beds in the middle of the room. One is completely untouched, and the other not properly made well. It looks like the person fixing the bed was in a rush. Simon opens the curtains and gets a good look at the beach. The sight of seeing small children play in the distance, teenagers play volleyball, really put the determination to himself live the bestest life here. This is the start of a new chapter of his life!. While in the middle of having a mental breakdown over how beautiful Hawaii is, like the basic bitch he is, John barges through the door, rushing, worrying, looking for something. "Where is it? God damnit, I forgot to get it this morning!" He opens the little cabinet and grabs the little key to the cleaning supplies room. John just now, realizes Simon saw the whole thing. He must be so confused on what is happening. "Oh! Hello there! I didn't see you there for a sec. I just forgot to get the cleaning supplies room keys so I rushed to get it since I am doing all of my work on a tight schedule. Wait, why are you crying?" John rushes over to Simon, rubbing his back in hopes of making him feel better. "Hff- I'm sorry- This place is my dream. I always wanted to live here ever since I was 7! It's just, a mix of emotions. Don't mind me ehe- *sniff*" Simon wipes his tears, gets a deep breath and does his best to change the topic. "So. We are roommates now huh? You looked cute picking up the fallen baggage I couldn't stop staring at you." Simon points out loud, John immediately blushing bright red. "Uh~ wow! Never thought I would here that from you. *Shakes hand* what's your name again? I couldn't hear it over the voices in my head. The name's John by the way." "S-Simon is the name."

This interaction felt weird, rushed, and very akward. But Simon already knew, it was a going to be the start of a great relationship.
