Seventy-Two

A/N: first all "irl" chapter wow ok

Brendon and Dallon were busy packing for their massive two week trip running from December 18th January 2nd. They made sure everything was perfect, Brendon even packing sex toys because you never know when you need to fuck on the bathroom sink.

Everyone spent hours upon hours packing making sure they brought the right skinny jeans, ugly Christmas sweater, type of eyeliner, etcetera, etcetera. Ashley had just finished getting her hair done. She got side bangs and dyed her hair black, she was like flower crown scene. (A/N: ok but I'm always a slut for Halsey's scene hair bye).

Hayley had texted everyone to meet them at the main entrance in the hall of the Pittsburgh national airport. Finally all 33 people were there, each with a suitcase, a carry on, and holding their phone. Everyone looked excitedly tired in their sweatpants and not even wearing makeup. Both Taylor and Hayley considered it a miracle they weren't noticed, maybe it was because no one really knew what color Hayley's hair was at the moment, and Taylor didn't have her classic red lipstick and was wearing a hoodie.

They got in the massive line for TSA. The line was only around an hour wait, but felt like days. Their bags were examined and they were scanned and finally set off to find coffee. The line for the coffee place was literally an hour, and it wasn't even Starbucks. Beau complained about not getting his morning Starbucks and lights said "babe, there's like ten in LAX, calm you face". "Fine", beau said obviously pissed off. Teens without their coffee is never a pretty sight.

As the clock struck 5:30am boarding began. It was a surprise to them when they learned they got first class tickets, and we're taking up the entirety of it. They were all pleased to find the rows were really one big row of six. In the first two rows Brendon took the window seat, Dallon in the middle, and Ashley on the end, Cass on the end, Ryan in the middle, and Dan at the window. In the third and fourth Tyler took the window, Josh in the middle, and Melanie on the end; Hayley on the other end, Alexa in the middle, and Lynn at the window. In five and six Taylor took the window, Brian in the middle, and Alex on the end; Zack on the end due to the fact he was still in a wheelchair, Rian in the middle, and Jack at the window. In seven and eight Lexi took the window, Jon in the middle, and Spencer on the end; lights on the other end, Max in the middle, and hoodie at the window. In nine and 10 beau took the window, Kellin in the middle, and Vic on the end; Troye took the window so he could take aesthetically pleasing photos to try and be like his boyfriend, Josh took the middle, and Sam on the end. Lastly in row 11 was Connor also at the window, Taylor swift in the middle, and ash at the end. Everyone was excited.

Every single person had done as instructed and put their phone on airplane mode and grabbed the iPod they brought and plugged in headphones. The plane took off and Dan and Ryan held hands like a mother taking her daughter on her first plane ride. Cass couldn't help but "Awww" over the sound of her music. They all ordered some type of food and drink at one point or another, they napped, and finally the plane landed at nine in the morning, pacific time of course.

They all hauled their carry ons off as they walked off the plane to try and get to luggage claim. For the people who hadn't been to LA before it was complete culture shock, a line with 200 people at Starbucks, constantly moving, people everywhere, how diverse it was, the fact there were fancy stores the moment you got off the plane. It was insane, but hell, that was LA for you. The massive group of thirty three tired people made their way to the American Airlines luggage claim and after a good, long while they got their luggage.

They then went to catch a bus to the rental car place (a/n you probably have no clue what I mean but at lax they have these giant buses for people coming in that drive you to one specific car rental place). "Ok so there's going to be 5 cars. Me, Taylor Swift, Lights, Melanie, and Alexa will be driving and I'll assign your people when we get there." Everyone nodded their head as the bus arrived. A kind woman helped them get all the suitcases on the bus. There were so many people that the amount of space was cramped on the bus and Ryan sat on Dan's lap, Dallon on brendon's, and Alex on Brian's. People weren't even sure if they were to say cute or kinky.
