Sapnap is in the middle of folding a pair of shorts when he hears his phone ringing in his pocket.

"Thats weird, no one calls me at night, and definitely not this late." It may only be 11, but Sapnap never expects late calls.

Once he looks at the caller ID he sees that George was the mysterious midnight caller. He sets down the shorts and answers the call.

"Yo" is all George says when Sap answers.

"What the fuck, why are you up?! Isn't it like 6 in the morning?"

"Couldn't sleep," George mumbles into the phone, "too excited."

"Yeah, me too," Sapnap sighs, "I was packing my suit case when you called me."

"Really? I packed last night too!" George giggles.

"I can't wait to see you, Dream too if we get to see him. Do you think he lives around there still?"

"Honestly yeah, he was never one for traveling," George recalls. Dream never liked to go too far from home when they were kids, always scared to be too far from his parents.

"Maybe that changed, who knows," Sapnap says

"Yeah," George replies, pausing before he adds, "Maybe he moved to another state or, like, out of the states."

"Oh god, he could be anywhere," Sapnap realizes. The call is silent for a few seconds before George speaks again.

"Do you think he ever got over his fear of flying?"

"Probably not," Sapnap laughs.

"I can't believe we're gonna be back there. I can't believe I'm gonna see you!"

"Me neither, I just wanna see who's taller."

"Well it's obviously me," George claims, "I was always the tallest."

"Well you're also the oldest, idiot, what if Dream is like a giant."

"Well I hope not, because then he can make fun of us."

"He was always the shortest, he probably had a huge growth spurt," Sapnap says.

"Yeah," The brunet agrees, the call is left silent until he hears George moving around in his bed. Sapnap decides to lay down as well and drops his suitcase to the ground.

"I think I'm nervous too," George pauses before continuing, "For like, what he is gonna say."

"I... Yeah. Me too. But we don't even know if he'll be there yet, so we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

"Yeah, but he hasn't texted us since, like, 10 whole years ago. And what if he still feels like we betrayed him?"

"It wasn't our fault that our parents decided to move, he knows that we didn't want to leave him," Sapnap assures George, "so let's focus on the positives."

"Alright, well my flights are in 5 days, so that's pretty exciting."

"You're landing an hour after me though, so I'll be all alone in the airport!" Sap complains.

"But at least we can go to the Airbnb together, I've never actually been in one though."

"I guess so, I haven't been in one either."

After a while the call goes silent, only hearing the shuffling from George's end of the call every once in a while. Then Sapnap was reminded of something that'd happened a few nights ago.

"You know, I was watching one of his streams the other night."

"Dream?" George asks.

"Yea, who else?" Sapnap rolls his eyes, "Anyway, he mentioned that he 'might be busy these next few weeks', so he 'might not stream as much'."
