I woke up the next morning on the couch, snuggled into Joe's chest. His deep breathing told me he was still dead asleep.

I got off the couch and went into the kitchen, greeted by Zoe. "Hello, sweetheart!" She cooed, ruffling my head as she grabbed some milk. "Would you like a drink?"

"Yes!" I said. She made me a quick mango smoothie, then told me to find Alfie.

Alfie was upstairs still asleep. I poked his cheek, "ALFRED!"

"What child?" He mumbled into the pillow. He was shirtless and I could see his muscles. I poked him in the cheek again, then when he didn't do anything began tickling him.

"WAKE UP THEN WE'LL HAVE BREAKFAST! I WANT FOOD!" I laughed, continuing to tickle him. 

He threw his pillow at me, and got out of bed. "Jesus Christ I was tired."

"I fell asleep on the couch, though, Alfie. You had enough energy to walk up the stairs." 

Alfie smirked, "And your room is done too! You didn't get to sleep in it last night"

I shrugged, "I was tired. I rather not fall dead asleep on the stairs."

"Fair point." He replied, and grabbed his shirt from the ground. Pulling it on, he followed me out into the hall and down the stairs.

"Morning, Mr. Sleepyhead!" Zoe giggled when he entered the kitchen.

He pecked her check, "Morning. Joe asleep?"

"Nope!" Joe said, joining us all in the kitchen. He laid his arms over my shoulders, holding me tightly against his body. "But damn I got a great night of sleep thanks to this little heater." He said, patting me on the head.

I blushed, "Sorry I fell asleep."

"Oh it's fine! You were warmer than that blanket." 

"Anyway," Zoe interrupted. "People want to see Xanthippe. Are you comfortable being on the Internet for everyone to see?"

I nodded, doing the jazz hands "MY RISE TO STARDOM!"

She rolled her eyes and smirked at me, "And you get to meet some of our friends later."

"Awesome. Will you please tell me who they are?"

"No! It's a surprise!" 

"Ugh," I moaned. 

"Will you both set the table?" Zoe said next, Alfie handing Joe and I plates and such. "Dining table or living room table?"

"Living room table! There's some shows I want to catch up on." Zoe replied.

"KK!" I said, bringing the plates and napkins to the living room table. I carefully set it out, and put two pot holders down for our food.

Joe put down some potatoes and eggs on the pot holders, and the last one was already put out with pancakes. "Holy mother of god these smell great." Joe commented.

Zoe laughed when she entered the living room, seeing Joe and I sitting on the floor with forks in hand, ready to grab our food. "EAT MY CHILDREN!"

"Thank goodness." I sighed and put some Nutella on my pancakes. Alfie and Joe looked at me strangely, "Can I not have Nutella on my pancakes now, gentlemen?"

Joe shrugged, "Didn't expect that." And snatched the Nutella out of my hand, putting one of his fingers in it. "Tastes great though!"

"Gross," Zoe mumbled, and turned on the TV. "What show do you all want to watch?"

"Amazing race!" Joe laughed. "Tyler is on it!"

"True!" Alfie chimed in. 

She found the newest episode of the Amazing Race on DVR, and it soon began to play. Tyler was apparently another YouTuber, one that all of my "family" has collaborated with and became friends with. He was really cute- sadly he's gay though.

The episode was done, and our food was done. I laid down on the carpet, "FOOD COMA." 

They all laughed at me, and Zoe joined me on the ground. "THAT WAS TOO GOOD." I told her.

She grabbed me and pulled me into her embraced, squeezing me tightly. "THANK YOU." She replied, kissing me on the forehead. "Now let's get dressed! Our friends will be here in two hours!"

"OOOH!" I squealed, breaking apart the hug. Zoe pouted, and I brought her upstairs with me to find something to wear. 

"You have a TRXYE sweatshirt?" Zoe exclaimed.

I nodded, "Yeah?"

"I love Troye!"

"Should I wear it?"

"It seems a bit warm outside for that heavy of a sweatshirt." Zoe bit her lip. "Here, I'll lend you a dress for today. We are going to Brighton's festival anyway."

"Awesome." I replied, following her down the hall to where her clothing lay. I fished around her closet until I found a cute button up black and white collared dress. "Would this work for today?"

She nodded, "you would look adorable. I can do your hair if you want."

"yes please!" Thank god she can do hair. All I can do with my snarles of hair is a bun, ponytail, or just down. Even curling it seems a bit much for such an amateur.

Zoe pushed me into their bathroom, and I changed quickly. Once I was done she joined me in there to do my hair. "How about the two braids?" She asked me.

"That would be cute." I replied.

She did it so fast, she must do it all the time. When Zoe was done I checked myself out in the mirror. "Thank you so much!" 

"Well I mean, I'm your mom, you don't have to say thank you for everything."

I blushed, "Sorry. I just-I just don't always have a lot of luck in my life. So that's why I thank you- because I've been with you for more than twenty four hours and you've done so much."

"Aw, sweetie." She pulled me into another hug. Man, she was a great hugger. When our hug ended, she checked her phone. 

"Shit! They landed in the airport. ALFIEEE!" Zoe ran down the hall to find Alfie. 

I checked myself in the mirror again. I never wore clothes like this, making me seem so different and like an alien in this dress. I typically just wore oversized sweaters and jeans, but now I realize I need to broaden my horizon.

Zoe came back to her room, "Alfie went to the airport. He'll be back soon. Will you help me with my outfit, Xan?"

I nodded excitedly, and jumped out of the seat, "OF COURSE!"

"Good." We walked over to her closet and started searching through it. We found a cute little pink dress with hearts all over it. "Will this do?" I asked her.

She nodded, "I love this dress!"

She went to change, so while she did that I went to put on my basic makeup, concealer, mascara, and some lipstick. I joined Zoe downstairs once I was done. "You look so good, Xan!" Zoe commented. "I'm happy i won't have to teach you everything about makeup."

"I suck it at," I giggled. 

Joe shrugged, "I think I'm pretty decent." 

I shoved him playfully, "HEY DON'T HURT YOUR UNCLE JOE!" He retorted, lunging himself at me. 

Zoe's phone went off again, "THEY ARE HERE OH MY GOD." 

We all ran to the door and opened it. There stood three boys and Alfie.

All of them super familiar- and you know why? TUMBLR.

There stood in front of me, Connor, Tyler, and Troye fucking Sivan.
