"Hey Youtube! It's your girl Vivi back with another vlog. Ever since I graduated Dartmouth last year, I moved back to Boston, where I grew up, and where I still live with my idiot high school friends. One of them, Sarah, comes with me everywhere I go. We have been best friends for the past 12 years. She's flying home with me to visit my dad for Christmas."

Montage of us at the airport. A few people ask for photos with me, and we board the plane in first class for the morning flight.

Vivi: "Sar, is this your first time visiting my dad since he moved back?" 

Sarah: "Yeah, he only moved like last year right? Once your baby brother finally left for college?"

Vivi: "Yeah I can't believe he's so grown up. Hey do you remember the bet you lost?" 

Sarah: "The one you've been talking about for the past 19 days? Yeah, I do."

Vivi: "I think it's a win for both of us. Ever since I had to quit soccer 2 years ago I've been wanting to keep up with it. I know it's never been your thing, but sucks to suck."

Sarah: "What team is it again?"

Vivi: "Arsenal. They wear red and white."

Sarah: "Ohhh is that that one team with that girl's jersey you're always wearing?"

Vivi: "Alessia Russo? Yes! And as part of the deal to you coming, I'm going to try to get her to sign my jersey so you'll get to see me make a complete and utter fool of myself."

Sarah: "I used to see that everyday when you tried to talk to that one girl from English class."

Vivi: "Yeah ok we're not gonna talk about that. Alright Youtube, we are going to board our flight. I'm going to listen to my country playlist. The flight is a little less than 6 hours, so Sarah will have a nap and I'll update you guys when we land. Bye!"
