After I had had a few more psychology 'lessons' with Squid and Netty, I had started to feel better. As much as I missed Stampy, I was grateful to have such wonderful friends like Squid, Netty, Tom, and Amy. However, this empty feeling still lingered inside of me. I had been without Stampy for nearly a month. To me that seemed like ages. Even though I had promised myself that I would stay strong for Stampy, I was starting to loose hope. A month seemed like a very long time. The doctors assured me that it was fine; the longest time someone had ever been in a coma was 37 years. That just made me feel worse. I couldn't imagine 37 years without my kittycake. These moments would come and go. I would feel great, and then somehow something about Stampy would come. I would then feel like I wanted to die. 

Later that day, I decided to record some more videos. Netty said doing the thing you love most can help you feel a lot better. Making videos is what I love doing the most, except right now there's a giant hole inside. I felt terrible without Twins. It was my top viewed series and by far the most fun to record. Deep down I knew that the only reason people liked it was because of Stampy's fame, but I tried to brush that thought away. The topic had come up once between Stampy and I. He tried to assure me that people wouldn't subscribe to me if all they were after was him. They would watch my videos because of... well, me! I knew that there were some loyal fans who that was true for, but I also knew of many people who don't watch any of my other series and only are subscribed to get notified about Twins. Stampy tried to push this thought out of my mind, but it didn't seem to work. 

I drank some tea and had pancakes for breakfast and then went to record some videos. I recorded Feather Adventures, Rayman Legends, Dragon Quest, Slime Rancher, Ponds, My House, and Just 4 Fun. I edited the videos and uploaded Slime Rancher since it was Sunday. By the time I was done with all that, it was nearly 6:00. I was surprised at how productive I had been. I grinned, knowing Stampy would be proud of me. I got a text from Netty asking if I wanted to go visit Stampy with her, Squid, Nicole, Tom, and Amy and then go to The Cheesecake Factory with them afterwards. I loved the Cheesecake Factory. I was, however, a little anxious about going to visit Stampy. I quickly shook it off and replied with a yes. 

TIME SKIP

"Hiya Beth!" said Netty cheerfully as I got into her car.

"Hey Beth!" said Tom.

"Hey!" I said. "It's great to see you! How are you?"

"I'm doing great," she said. "How have you been?"

"I've been great! You won't believe what I did today."

"What did you do?" asked an anxious Netty. 

"I recorded seven videos and I edited them all. I also uploaded one of them. It felt great!" I said.

"That's amazing!" she cried. "Now, who should we get first? Amy, or Squid and Nicole?"

DO NOT THINK I HATE NICOLE WHEN READING THIS NEXT PASSAGE. I ACTUALLY LOVE HER. SQAISHEY IS JUST NOT CRAZY ABOUT HER IN THIS STORY.

"Hmm..." I said. Although I loved Squid, I wasn't too crazy about Nicole. She was nice, and of course I would talk to her, but she was a little bit too calm and laid back for my standards. "How about... Amy?" I said. 

"Cool with you, Tom?" Netty asked. 

"Sure," said, backing the car out of my driveway. "To Amy's house we go! Now who wants some music?" he said in an announcer style voice. 

"Meeeee!" Netty and I both cried in unison. 

*Start playing 'I Got Faith' (at the top of this page) now*

He turned on the radio and a song called 'I Got Faith' by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande started playing. It was from the movie Sing  which Stampy, Netty, Squid, Tom, and I all saw with a group of kids from the Make a Wish foundation. It was super fun and we all loved the movie. We even more loved this song. We all started singing with Tom being Stevie, Netty and I being Ari, and us all being the chorus. 

See the girl with the diamonds and the shoes? 

Yeah! 

She walks around like she's got nothin' to lose, Yes she's a go-getter, she's everybody's type. She's a queen of the city but she don't believe the hype. She's got her own elevation, holy motivation, 'Til I wrote some letters on big bold signs.

  I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now!  And you've been such a, such a good friend of me,  Know that I love you somehow I met you. Hallelujah! I got faith!

  See the boy with the Stevie Wonder swag? Ain't gotta cup all the magic that he has. He's a go-getter, he's everybody's type I'mma make it my mission, make him feel alright. He's a twelve on a ten point, rockin' out to his joint. Just say the word 'cause I can sing all night.

  I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now! And you've been such a, such a good friend of me, Know that I love you somehow (love you somehow) I met you, hallelujah! I got faith faiiiiiiith, yeah!

 Yes I do, mmm I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy I think about you mornin', noon, night and day I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy I think about you mornin', noon, night and day I get it runnin' and my mind goes crazy I think about you mornin', noon, night and day

 I got faith in you honey, I got faith in you girl I met you, hallelujah!  I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now.

I met you, hallelujah! I met you, hallelujah! I got faiiiiiiiiiiiiiith, yeah! 

"That was amazing, girls!" said Tom. 

"Aw, gee thanks Tom!" said Netty.

"That was more aimed towards Beth, but yeah you did okay..." he said trying not to break a grin.

"Excuse me!?" huffed Netty sarcastically. 

I burst out laughing and they joined in. We all knew Netty was worse than Jacob Sartorius, which was pretty hard to do. Netty knew it too, so our teasing didn't bother her. 

"You know," she said. "That song actually gives me lots of faith!"

"Idiot, it's supposed to," laughed Tom. 

"No! I mean for Joe! I feel like a miracle could actually happen now!" she said.

"Same with me!" I said. "That song just gets me in a great mood every time I hear it. Too bad it's on the radio and we can't listen to it more!"

"Bethany Bates," Tom began. "You do realize, right, that you are a YouTuber and that there is this thing called the internet!" 

I giggled. "Oh... I didn't think about that!" 

Netty pulled the song up on her phone and we kept repeating it until we got to Netty's house. 

I GOT FAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH! YEAH!
