"Ellie...." You heard a soft, femine voice call out to you. Yet, you couldn't move any muscle in your body to show that you were awake.

"Ellie, c'mon, it's your first day!" The voice reached out to you once again. You knew better than to argue with people first thing in the morning so you shot up fast - a little too fast, hitting your head on the person's hand that was hovering over your pillow.

"Morning." You breathed, your voice scratchy, the identity of the person next to you still unknown.

"Morning sleepyhead." 

You finally decided to open your eyes. "KIM?!" You covered your mouth after the random outburst. Kim Richards - Yogscast Kim was actually sitting in your room?! Granted that you were about to go and work with her for the first time, it was still a HUGE shock!!

"Haha, glad you're awake, we're leaving in 30 minutes so might wanna get dressed."

"Sure... I'll be down in half an hour." You were still in shock.

"Oh, we're eating breakfast at the office so don't bother eating anything beforehand." Kim smiled at you before exiting swiftly.

You sighed and kicked off your blankets before going through your so-called 'morning routine'.

30 minutes later

----------------------------------------

You walked downstairs to see Kim admiring your video game figurines and warhammers.

"You do all this?" Kim asked, her back turned to you.

"Uh... yeah I guess... I loved them as a kid - I love them as an adult." You stated

"Well then, you're going to feel right at home at YogTowers." She smiled, standing up. "You wanna get going then? It's a 2 hour drive..."

"Sure... sorry about making you come all this way just to pick me up..." You apologized

"Oh, don't worry about that, you Silly Billy. I should be the one saying sorry... for waking you up at 5:00.."

"Wait... it's 5:30?!!" You checked your phone quickly... yep. 5:30...

"C'mon... before you decide to go back to bed..." Kim tugged on your sleeve and dragged you to her car.

You both sat in the car for the estimated time - 2 hours, chatting, singing, vlogging and laughing. You'd known each other for only a couple of hours (in person) but it felt like you'd been the closest of friends for years.

2 hours later

------------------------

You stepped out the car, following Kim into the office. All of a sudden, you started sinking... deflating. What was gonna happen? Oh no, what if they hated you? Your mind filled with worry. Then, Kim stopped walking and started to talk, refusing to turn to face you.

"Look, the reason why we hired you was because of your entertaining antics. If you're scared poopless when you play games, it's not going to make for a good video or for a good impression so smile and be the person you were in the car."

"Cheers Kim," still at a loss as to how she knew what you were feeling. Nevertheless, you brightened up and smiled. For some reason, what Kim said filled you with a sense of security and happiness. You were back to your normal self.

She opened the door to the section of the office Yogscast owned. You stepped inside delicately. You were immediately greeted by Simon and Lewis with two huge hugs and Tom, holding a professional camcorder. Lewis 'discreetly' signalled to Kim to go to the livestream room whilst you and Simon were creating some sort of content for youtube.

"Close your eyes, you're coming with us" Simon said before lifting you up and slinging you over his shoulder with ease. He started carrying you towards the livestream room. You squealed but then obediently shut your eyes, Lewis started crying with laughter and Simon... kept carrying you.

Simon dropped you into a padded chair. "You can open your eyes now."

And as soon as you did, the room was filled with balloons, party poppers, confetti, cake, presents, cards and the WHOLE Yogscast crew - editors, sound engineers, content creators, animators, managers... EVERYONE!! Probably...

You stared in shock at the sight, rendered speechless. The crew laughed at your disbelieving antics and formed a circle-ish shape around you. You cheerfully greeted each member and director in turn until you turned to Smiffy.

Smiffy stood wide-eyed, still as a lamp post for a few seconds, before furrowing his eyebrows, grunting and storming out the room. He dropped his cup, spilling fanta on the carpet.

In attempt to follow him out, Ross blocked your path with his hand. You looked up at him, confused.

"Trott and I will go, you stay here. My deepest apologies." He said, before running out the room with Trott in search of their best friend.

You trudged over to Kim, who embraced you. "You didn't do anything, Ellie. It's not your fault."

"Cheers." You looked down.

"You know what, come sit outside with me" Kim grabbed your arm and sat you in the corridor, away from population.

"Be honest with me... who is Smith to you?"

"I don't... remember...."
