The next few days were like my first day there, minus the car ride. I stayed in my room, wrote music, and became addicted to YouTube. On my fourth day of living in my new house, I heard my mom call me from downstairs.

"Jessica!" She shouted, "We have visitors!"

I sighed and got up from my desk, then ran down the stairs. There were two boys, obviously brothers, standing in the living room. The older one had black hair with green eyes, and the younger one, who looked to be around my age, had dark brown hair, and green-hazel eyes. Mom quickly walked over to me, and said,

"This is my daughter, Jessica."

I shyly waved and mumbled,

"Ah, hi."

The older of the two stepped forward and shook my hand.

"I'm Leandre Berube," he told me. I smiled, and quietly said,

"It's nice to meet you, Leandre."

"Call me Leo," he laughed, and stepped back a little. His brother quickly blurted out,

"I'm Gabriel, but you can call me Gabe."

"Cool," I murmured. To anyone else, it probably sounded like I was just being extremely shy. However, my brain was working a mile a minute. Leandre Berube. Where had I heard that name before? I racked my brain for answers, going from the real names of famous YouTubers to the real names of Monstercat artists. That's when it hit me. Tristam's real name is Leandre Berube. And if that was true, then... was I standing in the presence of one of the most famous Monstercat artists? I mentally slapped myself and shook my head. Leandre and Berube are probably really common names in Canada. There's no way that could be Tristam.

Gabe smiled a little, then motioned at my shirt (it was a Monstercat shirt) and asked,

"So... Do you like Monstercat?"

"Yeah," I responded. There was silence, and I realized that my parents and Leo were talking in the other room. I nudged Gabe and asked,

"Isn't it cool that we live close to the city that Monstercat is located in? I mean, we could run into the Pegboard Nerds while strolling around the city!"

Gabe shrugged.

"Or while strolling around here. Do you know what kind of neighborhood you've moved into?"

"Uh, a hippie commune?" I sarcastically asked. He rolled his eyes and continued,

"No. You've moved into a neighborhood that all of the artists in Monstercat's history live in. Jessica, you know my brother, Leo? (Who you just met?) Yeah he's Tristam."
