Part 13

today is the day! i'm getting pictures with every aussie animal. wait, that means snakes, at the thought i grasp tight onto jonah's arm. 

jonah- the snakes at this place are okay. 

a- no snakes are okay

jack- hey, we'll all be there with you

i softened at the sound of his voice. 

the drive to healsville sanctuary was long, i was listening to music with jack, he was constantly smiling over at me. 

my head was lent up against his chest, he was softly singing to me. hayes was making kissing noises in the backseat so i propped up and glared at him. 

a- you got it coming grier

nash looked at me scared. 

a- hayes idiot

he sighed.

we got to the zoo and the little kid in me finally emerged. signs everywhere for pictures with animals. we went around the back to a private area where all the animals would meet us. 

first up was wombats, we sat down in an enclosed area, to our left was a little doorway that kept shifting. soon, the keeper lifted the doorway and a baby wombat ran out, running to everyone before settling in my lap. 

i was petting the creature as i felt soft snores. 

a- oh my god, he's asleep?

k- yes, they fall asleep quite quickly when they're comfortable.

all of a sudden the wombat jumped up and moved into zach's lap, repeating the process. 

the wombat was beautiful and we got loads of photos with wombats, lizards and echidnas. 

now time for the kangaroos. we were taken to the kangaroo pen and handed a cup of food for them. when we hopped the fence they all came over to us. 

they said i couldn't scream so i was squeezing jack's hand tighter the closer they got. 

i bent down and started feeding one, it was slightly smaller than the others. 

keeper- this is crystal, she's new, unfortunately she hasn't opened up to anyone, until now i guess...

i laughed and continued feeding her and playing with her fur. she was gorgeous, looked so happy. 

i ran out of food and frowned, i went to get up until jack came over with his cup, handing it to me. my eyes lightened up and we sat back down. 

a- this is crystal

j- she seems to like you

i laughed and she started hopping around jack and i, i took snapchat videos and photos. 

through the process i saw a sign on the pen saying, up for sponsorship. i quickly ducked over to the side and got my manager on the phone. 

the plan was a-go. now just to surprise the rest of magcon. easy? nope. 

i quickly excused myself and went over to the sponsorship desk and explained, she was over the moon. 

i ran back to the boys and was ready to tell them the news. 

a- so i have gathered you here today to tell you that we have a new member joining magcon...

they all looked confused. 

a- but they're staying here...

n- you didn't 

a- oh but i did
