Jack's POV

Mark pulled his car into a reserved parking space in front of the studio. I stepped out of the car and gazed in astonishment, the building was bigger than I imagined and it stood so proudly in the California sunshine. We strolled to the front of the building where there were revolving glass doors. Matt and Ryan stepped in first followed by Mark who stepped into the same segment. Suddenly, he turned his head around with a devilish grin. Before I could step into the same segment, he pushed me back making me miss it and have to get in the next one. He turned around and began walking backwards in his segment, smirking playfully. I returned his expression and pushed my face against the glass separating our segments, making an assortment of weird faces. We both began laughing as he joined me in making faces against the glass while still walking backwards. Mark then pretended to kiss me through the glass; I chuckled and pretended to kiss him back. I saw Ryan turn around and roll his eyes at us while smiling. The three others reached the end of the revolving door and waited for me. Once I got out of my segment of the door Mark playfully punched my shoulder still giggling at our antics.

The reception area was spacious with a table and a few chairs along the right side with the reception desk on the left hand side. We approached the desk where the smartly dressed receptionist sat, typing away at her computer. She noticed we were there and pulled herself away from the device. "Are you here for the Revelmode meet up?", she chirped with a broad smile. Mark nodded and she pointed us in the direction of the double doors across the hall. "If you go straight through those doors and turn right, you'll come to a set of stairs and two lifts. Go up to the second floor and carry on through to the seating area on that floor", she instructed. Mark thanked her and we began following her instructions, we then reached the bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor. Matt pushed the button on the lift as Ryan and Mark stood alongside him waiting for it to arrive. 'Pfft! I'm not taking the lift', I thought. "Bet I'll get the top before you lot do", I challenged as the other three men stepped into the lift. "You're on!", Mark responded, staring straight at me as he pressed the button inside the lift. I dashed from the lift and raced up the stairs, sometimes taking two at a time which was hard to do with my short legs. I reached the top and skidded to a halt in front of the lift. Out of breath from the sprint I put my hands on my knees and starting panting. Then I noticing they weren't there yet. 'Hehe, I won', I chuckled in my thoughts. I collected myself and stood smugly in front of the doors. Seconds later they opened revealing a disappointed looking Mark.

"Ok, you won this round", he admitted.

"You two can't be serious for longer than 5 minutes can you?", Ryan joked.

Mark and I glanced at each other, grinning, and shook our heads in response.

We continued down the hall in search of the seating area. As we approached an opening some very familiar voices echoed down the hall. I hurried my stride and stopped when I saw a blonde-haired man looking into a camera that a larger, brown haired man was holding. Suddenly, they stopped what they were doing as they noticed us walking towards them.

"Oh look it's those arseholes", I pretended to groan.

"Little Irish bitch", Felix mumbled loudly as they walked over to us. I gave them handshake-hugs, as did Mark, Matt and Ryan.

"So when is your meeting about Revelmode Felix?", Mark asked, running his fingers through his blue hair.

"Not for another half-hour, so I've got a while to catch up with you guys", Felix replied.

We all sat down on the leather chairs in the seating area and I asked Felix about some of his plans with Revelmode, as did Mark. I was so honoured to be asked to be a part of this. Mark then handed Felix the papers he'd brought with him which apparently contained some ideas for the next convention. Time went too quickly and Felix had to go to his meeting. "Someone will be here soon to give you a tour around the offices, Jack", Felix called out as he walked down the hall. He was right, before long a tall man dressed in a grey suit emerged from one of the rooms. He shook our hands and introduced himself as Kieran, welcoming us to the studio. Everyone else had already seen the studio but still came along on the tour with me.

As we began the tour, Ken switched on his camera and picked up where he left off on his vlog. I was amazed at how many different sections and rooms the building had. Most of the corridors were bare white, but some were filled with colourful posters and the occasional glass case with a relevant artefact to the sector. We passed many rooms, most of which were coated with rows of people working away on their computers. Kieran showed us the meeting rooms. A large whiteboard filled the back of each room along with a few smaller ones at the side; some of these were clustered with sticky notes and drawings. I took in everything. It was mostly just viewing the building but I was fascinated by the explanations and stories Kieran told about each sector. I raised my eyebrows when I saw Mark stop by one of the meeting room doors. He silently beckoned me over, waving his hand in a circular motion.

I scurried over to where he was standing and peered through the window to see Felix in the room. He was sitting and talking with two older men, they were facing away from the door whereas Felix was sitting facing towards it. I waved to try and grab his attention. It worked and he glanced at us. Suddenly, Mark raised his middle finger to the window. I laughed and followed suit. I could see Felix smiling; he looked down at the desk in front of him, trying to contain his laughter while being professional. Once we'd had our fun we stepped away from the door and continued the tour, luckily nobody else noticed. 'You're such a bad influence on me Mark', I thought grinning at the American. There was nothing I liked more than acting silly with him. I know it's childish but it's all in good fun.
