( A Few Months Later...)

** Liz's POV **

" Jump! Jump! Max! Just jump dammit!" Fern squealed as she waited for Max to jump onto the platform.

" Come on we don't have all year!" I exclaimed rolling my eyes as Max waited and waited for a time to jump into the moving platform.

"  I'll do it." Henry grunted as he grabbed the controller from Max's hands and made the sack puppet jump onto the platform. 

" Finally!" Fern, Henry and I said in unison.

" I'm sorry! Geez!" he says, snatching his controller back from Henry.

We were all squeezed into a small couch which was only supposed to be for two.There was a bigger couch but we liked the feeling of being squished together.  Henry sat on the left arm of the chair beside Max. Fern sat beside Max with her legs ontop of his lap while i sat on the right arm of the chair with my game face on. We were playing Little Big Planet which was my favortie game aside from Batman of course. I've been obsessing over Batman lately. 

Anyways, the four of us moved to Las Vegas a few months ago. We dropped out of college and decided that we'd start our career already with Eyeball Records. We've finished recording our first album and we've already sold hundreds of copies and performed at a few venues. Our songs were available on Itunes and we've made a couple of music videos which received millions of views already. We've been asked to perform at a lot more places but our manager rejected all their offers for a surprise tour she was planning.We all lived in one decent apartment which was right beside our recording studio and it was also paid for by Eyeball Records. The apartment had four bedrooms and a kitchen with a huge fridge. It had a flat screen television with a ps2 console. A few fans had tried to break in through our windows and some even knocked on our door but we didn't mind. We didn't mind, though. We loved our fans a lot no matter how creepy they got.  The good thing was that not once did we bump into anyone from My Chemical Romance.  Thank God. I wouldn't know what i'd do or what i'd say if we did.

" UGHHHH MAX!" Fern screamed, throwing her controller onto the floor.

I looked up at the screen to see that Max had wasted our last life.

" You suck!" I say, throwing a pillow at his head.

" Don't judge me! You know how bad I am at this!" he says, leaning his head back against the couch and sighing. 

" This sucks! Can we go to Starbucks or something?" Henry says, getting up from the couch and putting on his shoes. 

" You read my mind. You guys up for it?" I ask, getting up as well and turning to Fern and Max who were still on the couch. 

" It's not like we're gonna go anywhere with Max's incredibly horrid gaming skills." Fern says, pulling Max up with her. 

" Don't have to keep bringing it up." he mutters, grabbing his wallet from the kitchen counter and stuffing it in his pocket. 

" Let's go!"I say, putting on my jawstring bag as we all headed out of our apartment, headed towards the Starbucks across our building.

" Can I have four mocha frapps, please?" I ask, looking at the selection board and bringing out my wallet

" Sure, that'll be twenty dollars." the girl says, smiling as I hand her the exact amount. 

I got the receipt and headed back towards the table where Fern, Max and Henry were seated, knowing that four frapps would take a while.  I sat down and felt people's stares remain on us. From the corner of my eye, i could see people pointing and silently screaming with their friends as they did. Some were holding up notebooks and pens, deciding whether they should go up to us and ask us to sign our autographs.
