Notes: ah this song (Suburbia by Troye Sivan) is so sad... literally has nothing to do with this chapter... oh well. This blister feels weird. Also entirely unrelated, alright then

Jared had texted Ghost just a few moments before to let him and the other guys know that he and the girls were on the way to the Kentucky Horse Park now. And, of course, that meant that their plan would be coming into play in approximately 9 minutes or less.

The girls thought they'd be going to Rolex's venue today to set up their table and to try to slip into the other vendors' tents to try and buy some stuff the day before the show actually started. Little did they know that all 6 members of Motionless In White would be waiting for them in their tent when they finally got there.

They had all gotten to the Horse Park about 4 hours before, having spent that time wandering around a little with the 'ALL ACCESS' passes Jared had put them down for before they had started setting up the girls' table for them. It was where they'd be selling their sister vs sister shirts as well as a few other odds and ends and holding one or two of the signings and meet ups they'd be expected to attend over the weekend. The guys had set up the table for them as a sort of welcoming gift, meaning they would both be free for the vast majority of the day now to spend time with the guys.

While setting it up had definitely been a process the guys were all happy to say that they had finally finished. Chris and Ryan had done most of the assembling, having spent most of that time bickering about how to but a tent and foldable table together while the other guys had focused on getting the boxes of shirts and the banners with the girls' photos on them set up. Vinny, though, had been avoiding all work by 'supervising' the entire operation. It was safe to say everyone was nearly ready to kill him at this point.

"Fucking finally." Ricky groaned, flopping down into one of the red foldable chairs that had been set up in the last few minutes. "I never thought I'd be so tired after setting up a goddamn table."

Vinny glanced over at him, his face blank and his eyes covered by black Ray Ban sunglasses. "I know, man. I could take a nap right here..." He trailed off, his head lolling back as he started to doze off in the warm sunlight.

"You should be the least tired of all of us, you little bitch!" Ricky scoffed, reaching over and slapping Vinny's chest. He reached up and stole the man's sunglasses, quickly slipping them onto his own face instead.

"I was supervising!" Vinny defended, bringing a hand up to try and cover his eyes from the now bright sun. "Now give my sunglasses back, you dick!" He got up from his chair then, stepping over to Ricky's and starting to try and take his sunglasses back. The other man put up a great effort, flailing his arms and starting to kick his legs up and use his knees to block Vinny from getting his glasses back.

The other men watched on as the two continued to fight, eventually ending in Vinny knocking over Ricky's chair and both of them toppling over onto the grass in a pile of black clothes.

Ryan turned to look at Josh, who was still watching the two flail and bicker amusedly. "So... you excited to see your lady?"

Josh blinked, turning to look at Ryan nervously. "Kinda, I guess. I'm pretty sure she still wants to kill me, though, so I have a feeling I may not make it through the weekend."

Ryan chuckled, adjusting his own sunglasses before responding. "Yeah, I don't blame her though man. You gotta talk to them, y'know? I'd be scared of what she'll do for revenge if I was you."

"You're telling me! I'm afraid she may, like, cut my balls off or something." Josh admitted, his voice raising an octave or two. He shuddered a moment later, obviously picturing what getting his testicles removed would feel like. "Especially with Ghost and Rosaline helping her... I'm dead. I'm so dead."
