"Parker, Parker!" I said, trying to get him from his group of friends.

He turned around with a big smile on his face. "Yes?"

"So, Lainey had an idea. I liked the idea. I want to know what you think then come with me to talk to Carly." I said.

"Go on then, tell me." He smiled widely.

"Lainey thought it would be a good idea to invite the homeless into the mall on Christmas." I started to explain. I went on the explain the rest of her idea, and Parker enthusiastically agreed that he loved the idea.

"Let's talk to Carly!" He said, grabbing my hand and running in direction of Carly's office.

After Parker and I finished explaining Lainey's idea, she was silent for a second and nodded. "Guys! This is great!" She smiled. "I'll make sure to check with the owner, but I'm sure he'd be fine with it! He loves helping people out. The only thing is, I can't be here on Christmas." She sighed.

"That's okay!" Parker smiled. "Ali and I will be here. As well as my friends who have come to visit for the holidays." He said.

Carly had a big smile on her face. "Go for it."

Parker and I walked out of her office and high fived. "So, looks like we'll be spending our Christmas together." He said. 

"Looks like it." I smiled.

"So, how's the tree coming?" He asked.

"Almost done with the first part!" I said. "We're gonna need a ladder for the next part." I explained. He nodded. "By the way, I met your other friend yesterday."

"The ugly robot?" He asked.

"What?" This confused the heck out of me.

"Oh, sorry, that's what we call him. Zach?" He asked, and I nodded. "He's cool, but weird. You might lose a few brain cells when you're around him." We both laughed.

"But I spend so much time around you that I've already lost most of mine." I winked.

"Did you just-" and I ran away before he could chase after me.

After a few seconds of running and dodging people, Parker caught up to me. He threw his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. "Ha-ha." He said. "I win."

I wiggled out of his grasp. "Long leg cheater." I rolled my eyes.

"So, what's something you really want?" Parker asked, completely changing the subject.

I shrugged. "I really want to see snow on my birthday."

"When's your birthday?" He asked. He asks a lot of questions.

"December twenty-fifth." I said quietly.

"Whoa, you've never seen snow on your birthday slash Christmas?" Parker asked in awe.

I shook my head and sighed. "I'd ask for it every year since I can remember."

"You'll see it one day." He flashed a big smile.

"I hope. I want to travel the world someday." I awed. "What about you, what's something you want?" I asked him.

"Uh," he took a second to think. "I mean, I guess I really can't wait until that one day where I wake up with the love of my life sleeping next to me and my kids would come running in telling me and her to wake up because it's Saturday." He laughed. "But I'm only nineteen, and I don't think I need anything right now. Life's going pretty good." He smiled at me.

I thought for a second. "Wow, yeah, I never realized how much I can't wait until my life is perfect." I said, imagining it.

He smiled. "Are you single right now?" Parker asked. He is a curious boy.

I laughed a bit. "Yeah. You?"

"Me too." He sighed. "One day, Ali, one day, we'll find our perfect." And I thought maybe for once he would keep our conversation serious, but he's Parker. So he brought his hand up to mess with my hair, and began to run away.

"Oh you little-" I was cut off by running. It had basically turned into a game of tag around the mall. He was dodging people, I was dodging people. And even though he was far ahead of me, I could still hear his laughter, and I bet he could hear mine.

But it was all stopped when I ran into someone. "Oh my god I'm so-"

"It's okay." He smiled. Man, this guy had a big smile. It was a pretty smile. "Just be more careful, next time. What were you doing anyway?" He asked. He had black hair, and was tall. He was a pretty man.

"I was chasing after my friend, Parker, come here!" I yelled at him. He turned around and smiled at me, quickly running over.

"GRAPE!" Parker hugged the man.

"Parker!" 'Grape' said.

"So glad you could come to LA, buddy!" Parker said. "Ali, this is my friend Sean, but we call him Grape."

Sean smiled at me. "Hello, Ali. Man, you running into me really helped. I've been looking for Parker for like, an hour." He laughed.

"My clumsiness actually helped instead of harmed this time?" I laughed. "It's nice to meet you."

"PARKER!" Someone else yelled.

"I forgot to tell you, Parker, I brought Tybz along." Sean laughed.

Parker ran towards the other man yelling his name and they hugged. "That's Michael." Sean said. "I assume you've met the rest that are here?"

I nodded. "Parker has a lot of friends."

Sean also nodded. "That's what you get being a Minecraft Youtuber."

"It sounds fun." I smiled.

"Ali! This is Tybzi, er, Michael." Parker introduced me to the man.

"What should I call you?" I smiled. "I'm good with just Ali."

Michael shook my hand. "Hello Ali, and you can call me whatever. My friends usually call me Tybzi and you can feel free to do so. But if you think Tybzi is weird, go ahead and call me Michael." He smiled. These guys smile a lot. But that's okay, they have nice smiles.

I smiled back at him. "It's nice to meet you, Tybzi."
