Chapter Three

How did I get this lucky? Grace thinks as she leans on the doorframe of her and Hannah's bedroom. Hannah doesn't notice her, her mind on the things she's carefully folding and placing into her suitcase. She looks at the three ties laid out on the duvet, scrunching up her nose in concentration.

"Grace?!" She calls, looking into the doorway to see Grace already there. A faint blush finds its way to Hannah's cheeks. "Oh. Hi."

"Hi." Grace replies with a giggle. "Need help deciding?" Hannah nods shyly. Grace comes to look at the selection. A deep maroon tie, a light pastel pink tie, and a stormy gray tie stare back at her.

"I already chose a bowtie for the q&a panel, but I want a regular tie for the special party." Hannah explains.

"Which shirt?"

"The black button up."

"The pink tie. It'll pop against the dark shirt." Grace says immediately. Her reasoning is sound but that's not why she chose the pink one. The pink one is the tie she purchased Hannah for their first Valentine's Day they spent together, and seeing Hannah wear it always makes her smile. Hannah smiles at Grace and packs the tie carefully into the suitcase.

Hannah pulls up to Mamrie's house five minutes early, Grace sitting next to her in the passenger seat. The three girls have made a tradition of carpooling to Vidcon. Grace sends Mamrie a text, letting her know they're there.

Be right down, just putting on some perfume so I don't kill anybody ;) Mamrie replies.

Grace laughs at the text and absentmindedly puts her phone away. Mamrie comes bustling out of her house not two minutes later, waving a quick hello to her friends and getting herself settled in the car. A quick drive to Anaheim later and they're at the Convention Center. There's a large group of YouTubers arriving and the three girls make their rounds to say hello.

"Hey Emma!" Grace says cheerily, hugging a very anxiety ridden Emma Blackery. "How's life treating you?" Emma smiles wearily.

"It's all pretty good." Emma replies. "And you?" Grace gives an inadvertent glance to Hannah, who's happily chatting with Troye and Connor.

"Better than ever." Grace says genuinely, turning her attention to Luke. "Congrats on the movie Luke, by the way. I'm excited to see your hard work pay off." Luke smiles proudly.

"Thank you!" He says. "It's weird to think about something you've made being on thousands of people's TV screens."

"Truly." Grace agrees. She parts ways with the couple and goes back to Hannah's side, who's started a conversation with Dan and Phil. Grace snakes her arm around Hannah's waist silently, and she feels Hannah draw closer to her side. She knows it's okay around Dan and Phil, as long as she doesn't mention their intertwined hands they won't mention her arm around Hannah.

"Has Phil finally convinced you to get a hamster?" Hannah asks Dan jokingly. Dan rolls his eyes and chuckles.

"Not yet." He replies.

"Don't act so innocent Daniel, you're the one trying to get us a shiba inu." Phil counters. Grace laughs a little. The crowd of YouTubers heads inside, getting their room keys. Hannah and Grace are last in line, Mamrie ahead of them. She gets her key, and they expect her to go up to her room, but she waits around for them. Grace is suddenly on edge. Why did we think sharing a room was a good idea?! She silently asks herself. Hannah stays cool, getting the room keys and passing Grace one.

"When's the first expo hall booth?" Hannah asks. Mamrie shrugs.

"I think we have an hour or so." Grace says.

"Want to get drinks?" Mamrie asks.

The three girls sit at the hotel bar, Bloody Mary's at the ready.

"Let's propose a toast." Mamrie suggests. The girls raise their glasses. "To a lifelong friendship with you bitches." The girls clink glasses and sip their drinks.

A/N-

Yes I realize this is short and it's a filler but I want some sort of update. This chapter is simply leading up to later conflict. Bare with me.

Also, I love writing YouTubers interacting with other Tubers they don't generally talk to. It's fun.

Maybe another update tomorrow? I don't know.
