I STEP OUT the bathroom, walking into the living room while towel-drying my hair. Sophia is on her phone, rolling her eyes. Her back is facing me, so she doesn't notice me creeping up behind her.

"Whatcha doing, Soph?" I ask. She flinches and throws her phone up in the air, only for her to catch it.

"Holy cow, you scared the crap out of me!" I try to see what she was doing but she shuts off her phone before I could see anything.

"Uh, nothing. Hey, how about we go walk around? I'm bored and am craving adventure." 

I grin, "Nice choice of..words?" I look out the window to see the sun shining beautifully, a perfect day to explore the streets of Burbank. "Yeah, let's do it. But can you go get Jake? I have to finish up on drying my hair."

"Yeah, yeah, just go do your thing." She exits our suite and goes to Jake's and Phillip's. I dry my hair for a few more minutes and text Sophia that I'll meet them at the lobby. Grabbing my backpack, I head out to the lobby, to find Jake and Sophia staring at the aquarium full of colourful fish. 

"They all look like the creatures from Finding Nemo!" Sophia exclaims.

Jake smirks, "Yeah, and you remind me of that annoying brat that shakes poor Nemo."

"You're an asshole." She mumbles.

"Love you, too."

"Love the brother-sister bond, guys." I chuckle, "So, where do you guys want to go?"

They both shrug, "How about we just walk around the park nearby? Trees are nice."

"Let's get going, then."

"MICHELLE AURORA LILLIS I AM GOING TO KILL YOUR ASS!" Sophia screeches while I run, laughing so hard that I trip on my own feet and roll down a hill.

I land beside a tree with a thud, tears streaming down my fave from the laughter. Sophia catches up and checks up on me.

"You okay, horseface?"

"Just peachy."

She sighs, "Good." and smacks my head. Jake is casually walking towards us as if nothing happened. She lies down beside me while I still try to catch my breath.

He looks at us with an unimpressed look, "This is why you don't throw pranks on her, Mimi."

I roll my eyes, "I thought she wouldn't be that mad."

Sophia looks at me incredulously, "Yeah, giving me a Coke with a straw that is connected to a ketchup packet isn't gonna make me that mad. You know I hate ketchup!"

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry."

"You better be."

Jake joins us and we cloud gaze and talk about whatever, our skin soaking up the warmth rays from the sun. We start talking about whatever was on our mind, and one particular topic came up.

"So, you're going to the Vamps' concert tomorrow, right?" Jake asks, combing his hair with his hand.

"Wait, it's tomorrow?" I gasp. "I have to figure out what to wear, how much money I have to bring, sneak in snacks, choose between what merch to bring for them to sign, what gift to give them-"

"Mimi, calm down," Sophia chuckles. "We have the whole day today to figure it out. How about we look for gifts for them?"

I nod and drag the twins to the nearest mall.

***
"Mimi, they're just 4 boys, not an army." Jake groans, slumping against the wall as I scan through the products.

"I'm just picking out what I think they'd like, I'll narrow it down in the end, I swear!" I say, picking out a pair of sunglasses. "This'll be for James."

I place the sunglasses on the floor where the rest of the items I chose were. I take a good look and start taking things away until I narrowed it down: Tristan gets a bandana, Connor has a custom mug with his face on it, James gets the sunglasses, and Brad gets a stuffed monkey.

I look at the final items I satisfaction, and nod at the twins in approval.

"Finally! You took forever." Jake complains.

"Whatever, just hurry up and pay cause I'm starving." Sophia pleads.

I just shake my head and walk towards the cash register. I pay and we head off to eat.

We find a decent fast food restaurant and decide to eat outside because Jake says "the lighting is perfect for taking pictures."

"..And a side of chili fries with that please." I conclude. The waiter writes down our last order and looks up at us with a fake smile plastered over her face.

"Anything else? I kind of need to help other people but you know, take your sweet, sweet time!" she mutters through gritted teeth.

"That'll be all, thanks." I smile. She sighs and walks off.

"Geez, what's up with her" Sophia mumbles, drinking her iced tea.

"Guess she couldn't wait to leave? Haha, get it? Cause, she's a waitress?" Jake giggles, looking at us for any sign of laughter.

"No, Jake. Please don't ever say that again." I sigh.
