Jake parked his car in front of his house and turned it off. He looked at Seth to see that he was in awe of his house. Jake chuckled lightly, taking off his seat belt and Seth took his off too. They both opened their doors and got out, heading up the driveway to get to the front door. Jake unlocked the door and Seth went in first and Jake was right behind him.

"Jake," Tanner called out from upstairs.

"Yeah," Jake called out, closing the door behind him.

Tanner came rushing downstairs holding two hoodies in both his hands. One that was light pink and read Santa Cruz, and another that was white and in small black print read, Tokyo on the chest.

"Which one," Tanner asked.

"What is this for," Jake asked, setting his backpack on the ground by the front door.

"Me and Taylor are going to the movies and I don't know which one I should wear," Tanner stated.

"Pink," Jake said, pointing at the hoodie.

"Why," Tanner asked.

"What do you mean why? You asked me," Jake stated, walking over to the living room with Seth.

"Whatever," Tanner said, running back upstairs. "Mom and Dad are out for their anniversary just so you know!"

"Okay," Jake called out.

Jake and Seth both sat down on the couch and Jake grabbed the remote to turn on the T.V. He started scanning through the on-demand list and he clicked on The Nightmare Before Christmas.

"Ready," Jake asked, looking at Seth.

"Yeah," Seth said, facing Jake.

They both smiled and Jake started the movie. He pointed out Jack once he showed up in the movie and Seth told him he'd make a great Jack on Halloween. Jake laughed and they continued watching the movie.

Thirty-five minutes went by and Jake and Seth were now home alone. Jake would say the lines of Jack throughout the movie which made Seth laugh all the time. He would put in the effort to sound and act out the emotions of him. Once the movie was over Jake went back to the live channels.

"Okay," Seth spoke, setting his popcorn bowl on the coffee table. "That was actually a pretty good movie."

"I told you," Jake said, setting his bowl beside Seth's. "I've seen it probably a couple of million times."

They both chuckled and Jake stood up, heading to the kitchen.

"Would this make it a couple of million times that you and Faith are becoming Jack and Sally," Seth asked, looking back at Jake.

"No," Jake replied with a light chuckle. "Second time."

Seth snickered and Jake did the same.

"Are you thirsty," Jake asked, opening the fridge.

"Uh, yeah a little," Seth said, running his hand through his hair.

"Do you want water, soda, or juice," Jake asked, looking back at him.

"I'll take a water."

Jake grabbed two water bottles before closing the fridge and heading back over to Seth.

"Thank you," Seth said, grabbing the bottle when Jake handed it to him.

Jake sat down saying no problem then he opened his water bottle.

"What's next," Seth asked, opening his bottle while at the same time facing the T.V. "I was thinking maybe something like Twilight or maybe Star Wars."

"Actually," Jake spoke, setting his water bottle on the coffee table. "I was thinking maybe we could talk."
