"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Gwil breaths. "Take it from someone who grew up in Vegas, that's not true." I tell him, resting my hand on his shoulder. "You want to go to the strip? My dad used to drive my siblings and I there on the weekends to see the lights. Once my mom took me there to see LOVE." I tell him. "Sure." He responds. "I'm driving since I know the way best." I say, grabbing the car keys. I walk out the door to the convertible. "When did you get this?" He asks, as I go sit down in the driver's seat. "My parents." I respond, as he opens the door and sits down. "We have room for about 3 more people." I say, smirking. "Well Ben's out for EastEnders but we can pick up Lucy, Rami and Joe." Gwil says, catching the drift.

"Text them." I say, putting on some sunglasses. I adjust the rearview mirror and start the car. Gwil pulls out his phone and his thumbs start moving. "Ok they said they'll be ready in 10." He responds putting his phone in his back pocket. I connect my phone to the aux cord. "I have queens greatest hits on here and that like all I've been listening to for the past 5 days." I tell him laughing. I turn it on and crank up the volume as I pull out of the driveway. We start driving and the first song is bohemian rhapsody. "You've never heard me sing have you?" I realize. Gwil shakes his head with a soft smile. I start to sing "is this the real life, is this just fantasy." Gwils jaw drops in shock. When the song gets to "Mama, ooh" I put my whole soul into it. When 10 minutes passes I drive over to rami's house and everyone piles into the car.

"Hey losers." I joke. The next song is another one bites the dust, which is Lucy and i's favorite. We both sing and the boys clap when the song is done. When we hit the strip everyone is in awe of all the billboards and buildings. Big electronic boards advertising upcoming shows from people like Olivia Rodrigo to the Jonas brothers. Music playing, people with extravagant outfits taking photos, the smell of food trucks and food places. Candy shops and casinos. Everything. They were even amazed by the normal people walking the streets. "You grew up here?" Rami asks. "Well not exactly here, but yes here." I respond. "How amazing was it to live at sin city?" Lucy asks, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Well it wasn't always clear skies. There were a few years where there were grasshoppers everywhere. I remember pulling into a drive thru and the entire wall was covered with grasshoppers. Then there's the heat and cold. It's a desert so high highs and low lows. And for the longest time, a drought. We couldn't even water our grass without a limit. We were fortunate enough to never get our water shut off and we just had turf." I rant. Lucy looks a bit sad but then I say "we always made it work." I give her a soft smile and she returns the look. "Anyways, you guys wanna go in there?" I say pointing to a certain circle shaped candy filled with chocolate store. "Sure!" They all spring up And I parked the car. After spending an hour in there and Rami nearly passing out from eating so many, we decided to leave. Gwil and Joe walked out with a statue of the brown one, Lucy walked out with a blanket and Rami walked out with a stomach problem.

"Maybe next time don't try to chug a whole basket of candy next time." I say. "You dared me to." He remarks. "No, I said 'Rami DO NOT Try to eat all of those candies' and you said 'don't tell me what to do' and ate all of them." I say mocking him. He rolls his eyes. "Anyways , how about we head back to Gwil and i's place?" I suggest. "Actually, it's time Rami and I went home." Lucy says. "We have that thing tomorrow." She says nudging Rami. "What tho- oh yeah the thing." He responds. I don't believe them but is respond "that's alright, Ill drop you both off. Joe do you want to go home?" I ask. Joe nods. We go and drop Lucy and Rami off and before Joe shuts his door he yells, "SHARED CUSTODY." To Gwil. Gwil squints his eyes and we drive off.

When we get home I'm already a bit tired and it's dark out. Suddenly there is a boom, then a crack, and the sky lights up. It starts raining. "Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me." I joke. Gwil lays down on the bed. "You wanna watch that new Elvis movie?'" I ask. "It's only fitting." He responds. "Speaking of which, I got a new pair of pajamas and I want to change into them." I say. I run to go put them on and come back. The pajamas are donut print and a dark blue color. I go and lay down next to Gwil and rest my head on his shoulder. He unpaused the movie. About halfway through the movie, I noticed that Gwil was asleep so I covered the both of us with the blanket and I fell asleep too.
