To the Moon and Back {Chandler Riggs}

F o u r

The drive to Orlando was long and boring. I was crammed in the backseat between Chandler and Grayson while they slept the whole time. We arrived at Brianna's house a few hours ago and I have yet to fall asleep. I should really get a good eight hours because we'll be getting an early start tomorrow morning. Chandler wants to get to Universal when it opens. It was his idea to come, and it is his birthday, so I don't blame him. I'm just not a morning person.

I really wanted to invite Lizzy because I know I'm gonna be third wheeling on another level tomorrow, but I was too scared to ask if she could come. It's my own fault though, so I can't blame anyone.

I feel my eyes start to get heavy. I bury my face in the couch cushions as sleep takes over.

I throw on my clothes as fast as I can and put my braids into a french braid quickly. I skip doing makeup and run out of the bathroom without my shoes on. I slept late and everyone's already in the car waiting for me. I jam my feet into my white converses, grab my purse, and sprint outside and into the car.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." I apologize, buckling in with Grayson as William drives off. There are only three seats in the back and Brianna's with us, so Grayson and I have to double buckle.

"You're fine," Brianna assures me. "The park doesn't open for another hour anyway." I smile at her, still trying to catch my breath from my record-breaking time of getting ready.

I feel around in my bag for Chandler's birthday gift. It's still there. I felt guilty being a freeloader on their family vacation, so I got Chandler a birthday present. I'm not even sure if I'm going to give it to him, but if I see an opportunity where it won't be completely awkward, then I will.

"We're here." William states, stopping the car. We all get out, go through the metal detectors, and do all the needed stuff to get into the park. Brianna, holding Chandler's hand, leads the way since she basically lives at Universal. The rest of us follow close behind.

"Let's ride Transformers." Grayson suggests after we've walked inside.

"That's actually a good idea. You can fit all of us in the same cart." Brianna explains as we get in line for Transformers.

"Awe, thanks babe!" Chandler coos, giving Brianna a kiss before returning to admire his new Apple Watch. Brianna smiles widely and we all watch Chandler flash his wrist at us. We stopped at a restaurant to eat lunch, so GinaAnn decided we should do gifts now.

I debate whether or not to give Chandler my gift for him, but ultimately decide that if we're giving gifts, I might as well.

"Here. I got something for you, too." I say, awkwardly pulling the tøp beanie out of my purse. His blue eyes light up as I hand him the unwrapped gift.

"Wow! Thank you so much, Sav!" Chandler exclaims, pulling the beanie over his brown curls. He then does something I was not expecting. He pulls me into a hug and squeezes me tightly. I just sit there awkwardly, not sure what to do.

"It's really no trouble, Chandler. It's your birthday." I assure as he ends the hug. He flashes his sparkly white teeth at me and I smile back.

"I need a picture of this!" Brianna squeals. "The fan girls are going to flip!" She whips out her phone and Chandler smiles. "Wait. Savanna, get in the picture." She orders.
