"Honestly, I kind of want to go all out," Brooke smiled sheepishly as she tapped her fingers rapidly on her laptop. "Like close friends, friends of friends, a whole venue. The big shebang!"

I looked up from my YouTube video, tapping the space bar to give her my attention. "Yeah, go for it. It's your birthday anyway."

From the kitchen, I heard Tina show her agreement. "We never really have super big parties very often anyway. It would be super fun for everyone, if that's how you want to celebrate."

She made her way over to the dining table with a bowl of popcorn, offering some to both of us as she sat. "So what's the plan?"

Tina and I began ordering all the decorations on Amazon, while Brooke working on creating her invite-only list. The colour theme was pink and gold, and mentally I was already thinking of what to wear. The dress code was semi-formal, and I wasn't really the best with matching my attire to everyone else's. I made a mental note to ask for Brooke's help after the planning is all finished.

We ended up booking a venue not too far from us. Brooke wanted to make sure that those who weren't currently in LA had enough time to come if they planned to. She was nice enough to even give accommodations for them, since most of our friends were in LA anyway.

Later, I was sat on Tina's bed scrolling through my phone as she was practicing for MCC with Dream. Neither of the two were streaming, but Dream was providing her with some tips since this would be her fist time being in the event.

"Bea?" I glanced up, finding Tina turned towards me with a confused expression. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just blanked out," I sent her a smile. "What'd you say?"

"Dream's asking if you'd ever do MCC." She watched me warily as I walked towards her, remaining behind her chair but close enough so Dream could hear my voice without some echo following behind. She passed me an earphone.

"Well, I talked to Scott and maybe once. I told him I wouldn't mind filling in for someone when he needed it though."

"Ah, fair enough," Dream hummed. "Are you gonna be in the next one then?" He questioned.

"Eh, I don't know. Maybe April. March is too close and I feel like I don't even play Minecraft enough," I laughed. I used to play the game often as a kid, but I didn't know the mechanics as well as I probably should. Not only that, but a couple VOD reviews would be useful as well.

Dream hummed. "Well when you want to start practicing, let me know. I could give you a few pointers here and there."

"Sure, thanks Dream!" I beamed.

Later, I ended up playing Valorant with Sapnap for a few hours. Punz came in for a couple games as well, but then left to do some Slime Rancher. I eventually got bored and logged off my computer. Passing by Tina's room, I could hear her laughing. Her social battery almost never runs out, I swear.
