I woke up to Nick Bean's song "Emoji" and smiled. Today I was meeting Hunter in person. I was going to live with them for a week. For once it wasn't going to be boring in my life. I got up and got showered and dressed.

I didn't bother with makeup but I did curl my hair

I didn't bother with makeup but I did curl my hair. When I finished it was 8am and mom and Christine's flight was at 11am. I grabbed my suitcase and electronics bag and walked out of my room. My mom was waiting in the kitchen.
MOM: "You ready?"
I nodded. I followed her out the door and into the car. As we drove we talked about my last broadcast.
MOM: "So, how was the broadcast?"
ME: "Hunter showed up."
MOM: "Oh! Does he know you're coming?"
ME: "No. I didn't tell him. I told the supporters before he even showed up. I guested him last night and Brandon said I was hot and Hunter tackled him."
My mom laughed.
MOM: "Seems like Hunter has a crush."
ME: "On me? No way. Besides everyone knows if you dance like an fboy you must be an fboy...or at least a huge flirt. I'm not looking for a relationship mom."
MOM: "You say that now but remember you are spending an entire week with him."
After that it was silent for another 20 minutes. We pulled up to a big house and I got out. My mom followed since they were taking Christine's car. I got my luggage and followed my mom to the door. My mom knocked and a few minutes later a woman answered. Since I haven't heard about any girls I was assuming this was Christine.
CHRISTINE: "Hey Penny! And this must be your beautiful daughter! Come on in! Wendy the boys are upstairs in Hunter and Brandon's room. Go introduce yourself."
I nodded and walked up the stairs. I didn't even know where Hunter's room was. It wasn't hard to find though because I heard a scream then a laugh. I walked to the door and opened it. That was a mistake. Not only was there a shirtless Hunter, a pantless Brandon, and an Ashton with boxers on his head but a ball came flying at my head. I ducked and it flew down the stairs. The boys froze as they stared at the open door and more specifically me. I quickly realized Brandon was still pantless and covered my eyes.
ME: "Brandon, PUT SOME PANTS ON! HUNTER PUT ON A SHIRT! Hello, Ashton I'm Wendy."
I heard running around.
ASHTON: "Hi Wendy. Are you the babysitter?"
ME: "Yes I am. Are your brother's dressed yet?"
ASHTON: "Yeah. Brandon's red though."
I giggled and uncovered my eyes.
ME: "Ashton?"
ASHTON: "Yeah?"
ME: "Why do you have what looks like maybe Brandon's boxers on your head?"
He quickly took them off his head and giggled.
ASHTON: "Brandon did it!"
BRANDON: "Did not! You did it after Hunter dared you to!"
Ashton then turned red. Christine came to the door with my mom.
CHRISTINE: "Ashton, why do you have Brandon's underwear? Those aren't the ones he was wearing are they? Oh never mind. Boys, we are leaving. Wendy is in charge. Listen to her and behave. Wendy, good luck dear. They are a handful."
I watched as my mom and their mom left. I waited until I heard the car leave then looked at the boys with a smile.
BRANDON: "Why are you looking at us like that?"
ME: "Ashton, what do you want for dinner?"
ASHTON: "CANDY!"
HUNTER: "But we can't have candy. Mom said so."
ME: "Well Hunter dear, your mom isn't here. In her place is the best babysitter you'll ever have. Tonight for dinner we are finding every sweet thing in this house and eating it all. Or as much as we can. Let's make it a game. We'll race to the kitchen and whatever you grab is what you get and the others can't have any. GO!"
Ashton and Brandon ran out of the room and practically jumped down the stairs. Hunter just stood there. I walked up to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled.
ME: "Now, what would the oldest Rowland want for dinner?"
He smiled wide at how close we were.
HUNTER: "I can think of a few things."
ME: "Oh, and what's that?"
HUNTER: "Well, we could order pizza?"
I laughed.
HUNTER: "What? I'm hungry."
I unwrapped my arms from his neck and put space between us.
HUNTER: "Aww I liked that position."
ME: "Well, you'd rather have pizza."
He smirked and stepped closer.
HUNTER: "You asked what I wanted for dinner. You never asked what I wanted for dessert."
I smirked back.
ME: "And what would that be?"
HUNTER: "You."
I giggled. Suddenly Brandon came to the door.
BRANDON: "Gross guys. There are children present."
I turned around and smiled.
ME: "Brandon we haven't even done anything."
BRANDON: "Oh. I just thought you guys were making out because my brothers an fboy."
I laughed.
ME: "I KNEW IT!"
They both looked at me like I was nuts.
ME: "My mom thought I'd fall for Hunter during this week and I said that most guys who dance like fboys are fboys and you, Brandon, have just made my point."
HUNTER: "Wait, so you were playing me the whole time?!"
I nodded.
HUNTER: "Damn you're one hell of a prankster."
I smiled.
BRANDON: "Hey Wendy want a ride down the stairs to the kitchen?"
ME: "Can you even lift me? You are younger and smaller."
He smiled and turned around.
BRANDON: "Jump up."
I walked over and jumped on his back expecting to fall but surprisingly he caught me and held me up. He walked out of the room and down the stairs. We went to the kitchen with Hunter behind us. As we got to the kitchen I saw that Ashton had already eaten a crap load of candy, chocolate syrup, and pudding. I got off Brandon and walked over to Ashton.
ME: "Hey Ash, hand me the chocolate syrup."
He grabbed it and handed it to me. I popped the cap off and downed about a 3rd of it. I put the lid back on and looked at the boys smiling.
ME: "Hunter, you can order that pizza if you want.
