Claudia's POV
before going downstairs to start breakfast, i checked the guest room to make sure em got back alright. there she was sleeping soundly, bundled under sheets. i closed her door before heading to the kitchen.

about 20 minutes later a puffy eyed emery made her way to the counter stools.

"good morning," she mumbled.

"good morning, looks like you had quite a night for someone who isn't a fan of parties."

"mm no, bil and i just stayed out late on some hilltop, party wasn't exactly the highlight of my night," em explained.

"well scratch the party, we're on nickname basis after one night, you two are definitely gonna be friends," i smiled.

"she's cool," em replied.

Billie's POV
two days later
after finn and i finished our recording session i went upstairs to find emery.

"hey claudia, you know where em is?" i asked.

"uh she should be in the guest room, if not she's in my office."

"alright thanks," i said before hearing up the stairs.

i did 3 rhythmic knocks on the guest room door before someone answered. "come in," emery told me.

"oh hi bil, didn't expect to see you here. what's up?"

i nervously fiddled with my rings. why was i nervous? it's just em. "hey, i uh wanted to know if you'd like to come to the fair with me tonight? i know it's short not-"

"that's fine bil, i'll go. what time?"

"does 7 work for you?" i asked.

"yea that's good, i'll see you then," em smiled. her smile was different though, it made my stomach all fluttery.

i closed the door and went back downstairs to say bye to everyone else before i left.

once a few hours passed i started getting ready, putting more thought into my outfit than i had before emery arrived.

i decided on a white long sleeve, black ripped shirt, blue jeans, and my rick owen's. i also added some sliver rings, necklaces, and some black eyeliner.

i threw on a hoodie and got into my car. once i got to claudia and finneas' house i texted emery that i was outside.

once i saw her coming, i got out the car to open the door.

"thank you bil," she responded.

"no problem," i said before gettting in on my side.

Emery's POV
once we got to the line to get in the fair i noticed this was not the best night to not wear a jacket.

once we got into the fair, i made billie pinky promise that she'd let me pay for the food since she paid for our tickets.

the first thing we used our tickets on was claw machines, where billie won me a stuffed turtle and i got her a stuffed octopus.

throughout the night we played laser tag, bumper cars, and had a ton of funnel cake.

"omg before we go need to ride the ferris wheel!" i exclaimed.

"em we're going to be on that line for at least an hour."

"but it'll be worth it, pleaseeee" i begged, "i've never been on one."

"fine," billie sighed as i pulled her along to the line.

thirty minutes passed and we were still waiting in line as the temperature dropped and wind picked up. i stood there rocking back and forth in hopes of creating heat.

"do you want my hoodie?" billie offered.

"no it's okay i don't want you to be cold either," i replied although she already began taking it off.

"here, i have long sleeves under,"she explained.

"thank you," i said as i put on the warm hoodie, "this smells like you dipped it in a bottle of vanilla extract," i smiled.

"sounds like something i'd do," billie laughed.

not long after, billie was doing a cold dance of her own. "i told you, you'd get cold," i laughed, "come here."

billie stood behind me, so i wrapped her arms around me and she stuck her hands in the hoodie pocket along with mine.

"better?" i asked looking up at her.

"much," she confirmed with a smile

after waiting for almost an hour we finally got on the ferris wheel, and billie had to make our cart swing of course for me to get the "real deal" in her words.

"well that was a bit underwhelming," i said as billie and i walked hand in hand back to the car.

"i tried to warn you," billie teased.

"i know, shhh," we laughed.

the ride home was full of taco bell, lots of laughter, and karaoke from my part. in my defense they were mostly raps so it couldn't have been that bad.

by the time we got back it was almost 1 in the morning.

billie walked me to the door, where i handed her hoodie back, "thank you for inviting me, i had a lot of fun," she smiled back.

"thank you for coming, it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without you," billie replied.

we locked eyes for a split second, and before i knew it our lips were connected. billie's hand cupped my face, deepening the kiss before we both pulled away breathless.

"goodnight, get home safe bil," i smiled before going into the house.
