Kaytranada's pov

I'm by myself, lookin for ideas for a beat. Some minutes later, some dude came up to me and said, "You need some help?" I was like, "Yeah."

Dude: got any ideas?
Kay: no, not at all. By the way, what's your name?
Dude: My name is Karl, Karl Smith.
Kay: Well, my name is Louis, Louis Celestin.
Karl: well Louis, I have an idea.

As soon as he said that, we got to work and finished the beat.

Karl: What is this beat for, anyways?
Kay: well, I'm actually doing this for my new song with Goldlink and Jazmine Sullivan
Karl: wait, you're Kaytranada
Kay: yeah
Karl: OMG can I have an autograph?
Kay: yeah, what do you want me to sign?
Karl: my Mac book
Kay: okay.

I have never met anyone who wanted me to sign their Mac Book.

Ruby's pov

Ruby: can we go now!?
Marcia: okay, wit yo ugly ahh.
Ruby: who you callin ugly trick?
Mar: you obviously. Wait I need makeup bag.

My name is Ruby Michelle Sanchez, I'm Sydney's and Travis's cousin, I really don't hang with them much because they have shows and stuff. I never go to them. Though, I wish to go to one, wait I'm going to one now. Wait, I'm going to my first show and I get to see my cousins! When I said I barely get to see them, I actually found out they were famous. Anyways, grew up with no father, and all that BS. My mom didn't care about me, so my brother took me in, his name is Trevor, I live with him now. Anyways, Marcia needs to hurry up with her slow ass.

Ru: c'mon bring yo slow ass on!
Ma: okay, I'm ready!
Ru: finally! Now I wanna see my cousins. Let's go!
Mar: right.

At the concert

Mar: I thought we were going to see your cousin?
Ru: we are.
Mar: so you're telling me she's your cou-
Syd: hey L.A.? How y'all doing tonight?

The crowd went wild.

Syd: this first song is for my cousin, her name is Ruby Sanchez. And I just wanna tell her, everything is gonna be alright.
Mar: why didn't you tell me anything!?
Ru: I don't know.

The beat came in.

Syd: they say that every day's a struggle and it takes time, but do they do they have a clue, how do I do I tell the truth from a lie now. They try to say hello...

I can't believe she dedicated that song to me. She must've really missed me. Well, I just wanna say that I missed her too.

'Backstage'

Mar: that... Was awesome!
Ru: shush child, calm yo self down. Okay?
Mar: okay. I gotta use the bathro-

Someone knocked her over.

???- I am so sorry ma'am!

I bent down to get Marcia.

Ru: yo, watch were you goin- Syd?
Syd: Ruby?

She immediately gave me a big hug. I'm crying on her shoulder, super hard.

Ru: I missed you so much!
Syd: me too. It's been so long!
Mar: hey, am I missing something?
Syd: oh, umm?
Ru: she's my long, lost cousin. That I've been looking for...

I looked at her. She looked at me.

Syd, Ruby: years.
Mar: that is so amazing. You two are cou- is that Travis?
Syd: where?
Mar: over there.

She pointed towards the bar.

Syd: Travis! Look who I found!?
Trav: what you wan- Ruby!

I ran up and hugged him so tight.

Ru: I missed you so much!
Trav: it's been so long, nigga where was yo ass at!?
Ru: I've been looking for y'all. I needed to see my favorite cousins.
Trav: we've been looking for you too. Hey, do you know Tyler?
Ru: Oh my god yes the hell I do! This nigga music is dope!
Syd: well, did you know we apart of that nigga group?
Tyler: well who is this beautiful lady?

Syd: takin Ruby to downtown L.A
Ru: thank you
Syd: you are extremely welcome
Ru: can Tyler come with? Please?
Tac: Yassss bish!
Ty: You gay as hell, no offense Syd.

We just busted out dying laughing.

Ty: can I talk to you Tac.
Tac: yeah c'mon.

They went outside.

Syd: Tyler likes yoooooou!

She started making kissing sounds. Then I thought about it and started to play fight her. We did that for a minute then I pinned her down in the middle of the floor.

Ru: you nasty! Take it back.
Syd: Haha nope!
Ru: Take. It. Back.
Syd: okay Ima take it back. (nope)
Ru: come here.
Syd: you gotta catch me first.
Ru: UGH! Fine!
Syd: bye bye.
Ru: Oh my god

I chased her down the halls, down the steps, jumped over knocked over papers, everywhere. Then I lost her. I wonder where she went.

Syd: BOO!!!
Ru: WTF!!!! *gasp* Why you do that!?
Syd: cause, i wanted to scare you.
Ru: yeah right.
Syd: anyways, you look tired as hell.
Ru: chasing after you of course I'm tired.
Syd: Tyler still likes you.
Ru: no he doesn't
Syd: do you like him?
Ru: well... (blushing)
Syd: U LIKE HIM!!! Don't deny it.
Ru: okay, I do. I'm not sure if he likes me, what do you think?
Syd: well... he called you beautiful. Ima take that as a yes.
Ru: your right.

Kay's pov

I got the beat, now I'm ready for them to listen to it, I hope they approve it. If not, Ima be killing a nigga to day.

20 min later

They approved it! I'm so proud of myself. Thx to Karl, I owe him a lot. Anyways, I was walkin down the street lookin at beautiful women and stuff like that. Until this girl, she caught my eye, she had the most perfect curves, beautiful dark brown eyes, natural black/brown hair, thick luscious, glossy lips, and beautiful brown skin (she's dark skinned). Man I wish I get a girl like that, and she thick!? OMG!

Tyler's pov

I hope Ruby likes me, she's so beautiful. I'm so sus.

Ru: hey Ty, wassup
Ty: hey, I was just thinking about something
Ru: like? (she said dragging the "I"
Ty: you.
Ru: oh really?
Ty: yeah, and I was wondering if you...you know...can come with me tomorrow morning at IHOP to get breakfast?
Ru: sure
Ty: do the honors? (I held out my phone)
Ru: okay (she typed in her number, I got her phone and typed in mine)
Ty: let's go at 8
Ru: alright, see you tomorrow morning?
Ty: Yup

After that we went our separate ways. I have a feeling this is going to be awesome.

Syd's pov

I just saw Ruby and Tyler talk to each other, that was so cute! I'm acting extremely sus right now.

Syd: how did it go?
Ru: that was so weird but sweet, I got a date tomorrow morning at 8 at IHOP.
Syd: congrats, but you need some sleep.
Ru: I know, especially you.
Syd: yeah, I know let's go home.

We're at home, me and Ruby got in the bed and didn't even take a shower, we just fell out in our pj's and fell asleep. It was nice having her around again.
