It was the morning before Christmas in L.A. and for a place that never gets cold or snows everyone was sure all bundled up for today. And the guys were doing some last min shopping.
Where was I? I'd already done that. Like two months ago. The only present I knew that they had was for G&K. But I was kind of hoping to go home for the holidays. But, I knew sometime today or tomorrow that Gustavo and Kelly, no thanks to Griffin would want to record our holiday album songs.
But of course I was ready for that. And Jack had helped me with them. The hard part is always trying to do something original since every Christmas album I've ever heard has the same 12 songs on them all just in different styles. I knew that's what everybody seemed to want, but I was gonna try anyways.
Where's Farrah? I think she's in 2J with mom, and Katie and Jack's probably with her and if not he's with Jo. We should all be together. Did you pick something out for her? Do you think I'd be here if I hadn't?! She's hard to shop for you guys know that, she doesn't like people spending money on her.
But she likes spending her money on her friends and family. Why is that do you know? Well I know that she thinks she needs to be liked and loved by everyone, and that we were I guess her only friends growing up. But she's so sweet, why didn't she ever any other friends? Why do you think people were bulling her?
Because exactly that. Logan pointed out sadly to my brothers question. Nice, sweet, innocent people like your sister get picked on, cause she is naïve and innocent. She gets walked on by everyone like a doormat. She does everything for everyone, and doesn't care much about herself. She is the most selfless person I think we all know.
But nice people get picked on. But we're nice people? My brother questions. Yeah but we're also trouble makers. She's perfect, at least in our eyes, we know her the best and the longest, but I guess we think we know her best but we didn't even know this was all happening. She's keeping things from us because she knows us, she knows we get into trouble a lot.
Yeah Logan you're right, it's just I'm her twin you'd think I'd know her better than anyone. But, what on Earth do you get the perfect girl even if that girl is your best friend and twin sister? And doesn't want us spending our money on her for anything. You guys know that she doesn't, and yet we all know that she got us awesome gifts that she spent her own money on.
It just doesn't seem fair, for her to buy everyone else gifts and presents but not allow anyone else to. Heck her favorite present is when we spend time with her, when I spend time with her, she loves trapping us and torturing us in her little self made torture chairs. That's fun to her, it's one her favorite things in the world. Because we're apart of it, because we're around her, because we're all she knows especially from growing up. Because people are being forced to be with her.
But she also hates that, she hates group, or partner projects cause she's always picked last, or not at all. Somehow we four always end up together in class, but my sister is always in a different class from us. She tells me these things happen. She likes it better when the teacher picks their groups or their partners but no matter what she feels guilty to the person that gets stuck with her because everyone picks their friends, or maybe they pity her.
That's what she says at least, she feels bad for people who get stuck with her in their groups or as their partner. But it is what it is. You know. And if it weren't for Poison coming back who knows if she and Jack would even be together currently. Or how much longer it would've taken for them to get together.
Man guys the first real girl friend she's ever had was coming to L.A. Cam, and Jo. She's got the two other Farrah's, those are the only couple of girl friends she has, the rest are guys. And I'm still her best friend, even Katie at least she calls her friend is the only other girl friend she has. The only other girl interaction she gets is with Kelly.
Speaking of girls, that leaves me another new question of I have no idea still what I'm gonna get for Jo. They were there at 5am I was still asleep in my nice warm bed, see the problem was they thought this would be easy, all the gifts they were gonna get everyone in one place at 70% off of everything, be in and be out just like that. But the two women before and after them were wishing them luck since this was their first time.
They didn't think it would be a problem until 5 secs later if that and there was a montage of them having bad luck trying to do exactly that. And it wasn't going well at all. It was like a full on battlefield in there. At least I hope there was no blood shed going on.
Somehow they managed to get out of there with bags of who knows what kind of stuff, but safe and sound, except Logan who they were missing who appeared to have gotten bought from someone, and they had to go rescue him. At least it wasn't a full disaster just a little holiday shopping and their first holiday shopping in L.A.
Not so bad for the first time I'd say. They came back to the Palm Woods where they ran into Cam, and gave Logan his present and was told not to open it till tomorrow. And then offered her canned ham or a scented candle that smelled like IDK what. She kept the ham. Then kissed him, and look no mistletoe.
Then Jo came walking through with her suitcase and Ken handed her a picture frame that they would fill with a picture of them when she did that. But then Jett showed up with an iPad that came with a bunch of preloaded pictures in it. And Ken was starting to panic and freak out.
He showed them the pictures of them, and bragged about how Ken didn't have a 3 year contract with a hit T.V. show, but Ken only needed his 3 friends that play hockey like him to carry him off to G-D only knows where to. And while they were gone Jo pulled out her gift for Ken with mistletoe attached to it as they kissed, and the guys came back.
Hey, where's Jack? Not up yet, he's not a morning person. She shrugged. Do you know what he got Farrah? Not a clue, I wanted to get her something to, but had a harm time deciding, luckily I was able to, and I know Camille got her something too. Do you want to tell us, you know so that we hope we didn't end up getting her the same thing. Since she already doesn't like people spending money on her as it is, it would be awkward to give her the same present more than once.
Nice try. She teased. I'm sure what you came up with will work just fine. Behind them the Jennifer's walked out of the elevator. Carlos barrowed the hockey stick and tried to convince them to kiss him, but they rejected him to go off to catch a flight, but then came back because it's Christmas. And they all kissed him. And Carlos was happy. The Jennifer's being nice and happy? Is it Christmas or Halloween?
Well I guess you could call that Christmas miracle. James took it next and waited for the next girl that stepped off the elevator to be trampled alive by a big group of girls wanting to kiss him. But when they came to 2J mom was in the living room with a bunch of wrapped presents trying to stuff them all into suitcases, and Katie jumped on Ken's back wrapping her arms around his neck excited to get to go home for Christmas with toys and snow.
But mom said it wasn't about toys it was about giving, and spending time with the people you love. Frankly it's a miracle I got all these done. Guys: Why?! They asked in sync. And I'm sure Farrah is glad she got everything bought and wrapped like 2 months ago and wrapped like two weeks ago. She was so excited, but the poor thing. Mom went on.
Guys: What's wrong with Farrah? They questioned. She's been asleep all day. What time is it? Granted it's not that late yet and I think it's still morning, and not even noon, but she was up all night coughing and sneezing, and she's running a fever, if she was throwing up, or possibly feeling nauseous I'd think it was the stomach flu, aside from that I think she does.
Frankly it would be a Christmas miracle for her to get better enough to fly home. She had Jack drive off and bring the presents she bought for the Eppes and the Cullen's to go to them, so that they'd have them and he was far enough away so that he wouldn't get sick. Jo said he was asleep?
Mom moved to the side to reveal an asleep Jack Taylor on the couch surrounded by presents and wrapping paper, silently snoring. He even wanted to try and help me, but he's been up since 3 this morning, he came over around the time you guys left, he'd said he just got back from Forks. I asked him why he did that, he said that Farrah said she wanted all her gifts for her friends to go to them before we left, but then she got sick.
And Jack said he'd do it for her, and that he was having a hard time sleeping the night before because he was so excited for Christmas, and came over to bring Farrah her present. Poor boy, it looks like he spent a lot of money on it too, she just doesn't like getting presents, or rather money spent ones that is. If she didn't need food or water to live she wouldn't want me spending money on those things for her either, she never asks for anything.
But she can't go one day without helping anyone or doing anything for someone. And apparently neither can Jack. They're the cutest little couple I've ever seen. Mom cooed. It's almost like he's part of the family. She whispers sweeping back his hair. I called his sister from his phone to let her know he was here with us. That he's a big help.
She was glad he wasn't getting into trouble. Farrah even tried to work on this Christmas album music thing when Jack was over last night, were working on it at the kitchen table from 3 that afternoon till after dinner. She has it on a flash drive just in case you guys would need it. She wanted me to give it to you, and if you weren't responsible enough to hang onto it, she had Jack email it to himself so that he could have it on his own flash drive.
She would've kept working on it, according to Jack if she hadn't started to get the chills, which she had denied and wanted to keep working on it. But Jack insisted that she needed to go to bed, that they had been at it for hours that it just wasn't that easy to do new Christmas stuff. That she wanted to be original. Here's this, don't lose it. Ok mom.
I don't think we'll need it but I promise not to lose it. In fact, he says showing it to everyone, and placing it into his pocket. Right here he says tapping it. There now as long as it's on my person it won't get lost. And Ken said they were all going to help her pack for the flight that took off in 5 hours but had to go to RR and give G&K their presents. When they got there Kelly and Gustavo were ready for his trip to Fiji.
And wanted to make this quick. Where's Farrah? Mom thinks stomach flu, but this is for you. He says handing the flash drive to Kelly. Just in case. What is it? Christmas stuff maybe lyrics who knows. It's hard to be original for Christmas songs. That girl just keeps on giving she's a gift all on her own. That I agree with. Gustavo agrees.
They got him special Christmas pjs cause it was tradition to spend all day on Christmas in their pjs. They offered Kelly a panini press alarm clock then offered her a pig watering can or a Rockstar nutcracker, she stuck with the alarm clock. They were really bad at this. They asked about their gift that Gustavo did not have for them specifically, but had mine ordered and would ship it to us that it was a surprise.
What did you get her? We just hope it's not the same thing we got her. Nice try Kelly told them. We got her something, it's in here, but she doesn't like it when people spend money on her and mom said Jack got her something that she thinks costs a lot of money. Gustavo said their gift was a surprise and told Kelly to order them something surprising for Christmas and to ship it to them.
But then Griffin came and told them that they needed Christmas songs for the Christmas album or no one was going anywhere but they hadn't recorded anything Christmas songs and completely ignored the flash drive Kelly now had with her. Where's Farrah? Get her down here. She's always here. All: Stomach flu. But she wanted you to have this. Kelly said.
What is that? Probably lyrics or her own Christmas songs or something, whatever it is it's probably musically involved and she said something about how original Christmas songs were hard. That they are but that's you're job not mine, I'll look these over. On sec thought don't get her down here we can't have her getting her sick germs all over everything. But I will take that. Thank you. Now get going, unless you want to be stuck here for Christmas working.
3 songs new songs and make our flights on time? How is that gonna happen? Gustavo asked Griffin. I hear they call it a Christmas miracle, which you will all need, one for me to get an album with 3 new Christmas songs on it, and we put Farrah's voice in there somewhere somehow unless that is what this is. You're fans get the holiday album and I get holiday money. You need one to make the songs, and make your flights on time and your sister to get better enough to fly back home in one piece send her my regards, but maybe we could get some pictures from your photographer.
All: What photographer? The one your sister is dating. He is the bands photographer right? All: No? Well then he's done a good job taking pictures anyways they look professional, he could do it for a living. He showed them a slideshow of pictures Jack had taken from different events. All of them had me in them, and they all had everyone in them. For the most part.
He's like paparazzi! Ken pointed out. Does Farrah even know he took some of these? I'm guessing for the most part no since most of them are all candid pictures of action shots. Most of them aren't even her looking at the camera and none of you guys are because at no point until now did you know Jack had done this. They all nodded their heads and shrugged their shoulders agreeing with him.
BTW I want them downloaded by Christmas eve. Now that it is Christmas I'm off to the office to fire some people, I'll check in with you all later and I'll have my people listen to and look at the file your sister sent for me. Goodbye. The guys thought it would be nice to do this cause they wanted to give their fans a nice gift, but Gustavo said he couldn't 3 new songs that fast, and Kelly said some Christmas song of his he wrote in 5 mins and his still his top Christmas song ever.
Even though Gustavo hated it, everyone else loves that song. But he said he writes the best pop songs in the world and wasn't gonna be remembered for some stupid squirrel song. So, then challenge accepted, he had the power to write the next best Christmas song, and get us all home for Christmas and get himself to Fiji. As if Griffin was giving them much of a choice which he was not.
After asking for some ridiculous stuff to help him he said he was gonna pull off a Big Time Christmas miracle and to call Jack down there for photos. Too bad Farrah won't be in them. Carlos frowned. Yeah, Logan agreed. More for us. James said. All: James?! My regards to my friend. He corrected. So that's what they did.
In 2J Katie was trying to help pack the presents and was out looking for holiday cheer, but mom said they had plenty of holiday cheer right here in 2J but they had a Charlie Brown Christmas tree on the counter me laying in bed sick as a dog, and Jack sleeping on the couch. Until his phone went off.
Taylor speaking. He called groggily into the phone. Ok, give me 5 mins I'll be right there, I need my camera. Or I can use my phone. That works too. Be right there still in 5 mins. K bye. Where are you off to? Was that the guys? Yeah, apparently Griffin says he needed 3 new Christmas songs, for BTR as gifts for their fans to put on his Christmas album and I'm sure his guys are looking over the flash drive right now looking at and listening to Farrah's stuff cause she already picked and wrote 3 Christmas songs with her part that I can send to Farrah Eppes to make it sound like the whole band and whatever added voices they will use with them, and Farrah doesn't even have to miss out cause she's spent some time with other celebrities already to help her with her part of the songs she picked and we just hope for a miracle that they all pick the same songs.
And they want pictures, and probably don't think she'll get to be in any of them cause she's sick, and asleep but I already took holiday pictures of her at least a week ago, and I'm gonna go take more action candid photos of the band and send them to Farrah and have her help me fix these things with her awesometastic computer skills, as a Christmas present for Farrah from that Farrah. No money required just a favor from a friend.
Awe that's sweet Jackson. Jack is fine Ms. Knight. Jennifer sweetie. Alright Jennifer. Good luck with your presents. Good luck with your afternoon. Send my affections to your daughter if and when she wakes up, and that I hope she feels better. Thank you I will sweetie, I promise. Meanwhile Katie went to the ghost land lobby to look for her Christmas cheer but everyone was already gone for Christmas break.
Bitters was true to his name, no décor anywhere, and he handed her a candy cane he found in the laundry room. At RR Gustavo was struggling to work on Christmas songs, and the boys were on their phones, while Jack was taking candid action photos. The problem was Gustavo had no idea how I write such good songs so fast or had any Christmas anything for that matter since Christmas songs and stuff were hard, and that he needed to be in a Christmas mood to write his Christmas music, the guys tried to help him by telling him how they do it, and jumped behind the couch pulling Jack with them and popped back up in festive Christmas pjs offering Gustavo his own pair.
Where did these come from? How do they do that so fast? Kelly and Jack asked their separate questions. Yeah we got you a pair too Jack, just in case. And their snowflakes that's cool actually, no pun intended. But Gustavo wouldn't cave. So then instead they went into a kind of montage of decorating the studio. Wait, hold on, since Farrah wanted to be a part of everything should something keep her, she hid this box of holiday décor here. Now her little box of stuff will add a Farrah touch to things.
Awe that's sweet. Kelly cooed. She's thought of everything. Except how to get better. Ken frowned. And not to mention that her voice won't be in the songs, and her face won't be in the pictures. So, then no one looked at the flash drive? Well that will be your Christmas surprise because she's come up with everything. Trust me.
I have lyrics here for a one of the songs she was trying out. Let's give it a try, in our montage. All: Sure.
