Team Edge One Shots

Gunner

I'm part what!?

"What's up shoe laces!" I say smiling into my camera I held up the envelope that contained my DNA test results, "Guess what I got in the mail!"
My name is Lacey Shoe I'm 21 years old and from Florida, I recently decided to take one of those DNA test things and I gained a lot of popularity on YouTube from it, I'm my first year on YouTube I gained a whopping 100 subscribers and stayed at that for a while and then in the blink of an eye I was celebrating subscriber mile stones every couple of weeks, I got lucky to get a shout out from a really awesome youtuber with over 300,000 subs and got a pretty good chunk of subs. When I decided to take the DNA test I made a video about the process of getting one and how to do it. I'm now at about 8,000 subs, a pretty small close nit community, everyone gets along and helps each other, I'm lucky to have a good comment section as well.
I call my subbies 'shoe laces' because of my name, Lacey Shoe, Shoe is actually my step dads last name but I took it because he was the person who raised me, along with my mom of course, my step dads name is Tim and he's actually really awesome, my moms name is Molly and she is great. I have one younger brother named Thomas from Tim, he's just about to be one and so freaking cute, I love my family to death. We all have a good bond.
I continued opening the envlope with the results in it. After I got it open, i stared at it in disbelief. "I'm part what?" I said in shock. According to the graphs I was 50% German, which I already knew, my grandparents came over on a boat, about 8% South African 23% Nigerian and 20% Mexican.
"OK, so, according to these graphs, not only am I 102% person, but also Mexican!? *Ay Dios mio..."
I took a couple pictures of the orginal documents for me, then redacted some this so I could take pictures for the video. (Like my mothers maiden name, wich was still leagly my last name, my biological father{sperm doners} name, things of that nature.)
After that, I called my mom who was at my step fathers parents house, we don't really get along because the don't like my crazy hair piercings and tattoos.

(Lacey, but with alot less tattoos, she only has ten, just imagine what ever you want. And ever so slightly darker skin.)

I told her my results and she told me another family member to call, I wasn't thrilled about this because it was a family member from my 'sperm doner' as my mom calls him.
I sucked it up and called her, I asked her about any hispnic relitivea the I had and she gave and another phone number.
I took a deep breath a I dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Uhh, hi is this Rosa?"
"It is, who is this?"
"Hi, my name is Lacey, um my dad is Terry Call and I recently found out about my Hispanic heritage and I wanted to reach out to my extended family."
"Oh OK, Terry, yes I know him we are cousins so that means my kids are you cousins..."
We talked on the phone about family member I knew and about our lives, in the end I decidedi wanted to meet this family in person, at then end I got her address and what not. I looked n line for plane tickets and such. Flying from Florida to California is not cheap.
Whn my parents and baby brother came home a few hours later we had dinner together and I told them my plans.
"Wow, your really set on this huh?"
My dad asked, I noded
"I really am, Rosa is super sweet, and. I really want to meet my cousins"
"How 'bout this,I'll pay for your tickets."
I feel my face light up, are you serious!?" I ask excitedly, "Of course, I'll help too!" My mom says.
Tom babbles something from beside me in his high chair as if in agreence. I jump up and give both my parents a kiss on the check and run up stairs to pack.
I leave one week from today. The next day at work I told my boss what was going on and he agreed for 10 day off, even though I only planned on staying a week.

G: this is what we look like

L

: OK, I'll be the one with red hair!

*Le time skip*
Over the last week me and Gunner have become best friends I'm super nervous but excited to meet everyone in person
"I love you!" Mom said, "Let us know when you land" dad said I hugged them and gave Tommy lots of kisses, my flight was called and I was making the 4 hour flight.
The flight went by surprisingly well, very little turbulence. There was a movie playing but I had no intrest in it and just typed up an esssay for an online class I was taking so when I was finished all I had to do was copy/paste it into the website, I listned to music while I did it.
*random text convo*
L: hi mom and dad just landed love you guys and give Tommy kisses for me!
D: see you soon, love you too
M: love you honey will do!
-------------------- L: hey just landed
G: hey were in the parking lot!
L: OK I have to pee really bad so give me a minute
G: lol ok
I grabbed my luggage and then ran into the bathroom. When I was finished I checked myself over in the mirror smoothed down a couple fly away hairs and wiped away some smuged eyeliner from underneath my eyes.
I walked out of the airport into the bright California sun it was hot but it was 85°F in Flordia when I left so the nice cool 73.4°F was a blessing

L: hey out front!
G: hey look for the tall blonde guy, you'll see him before me lol

I looked around, but 'tall blonde guy' was a pretty genral description for a person. But I'm sure there couldn't be many tall blonde guys with a Mexican, right?
I wlked further out into the parking lot, if worst came to worst I would just yell their names untill I found them. I walked a bit and then to my right I saw a tall blonde guy leaning against a truck, on the other side of it I saw a Mexican guy wearing a black hoodie like the one Gunner was wearing in the picture of him that he sent me.
I walked over to them
"God, aren't you hot?" I asked, he look over at me, at first with a confused look, I'm sure I would do the same if some tiny 5'2 girl with flaming red hair, tattoos and piercings walked up to me and insulted my choice of outfit
"Oh! Hi, Lacey!" He said as he hugged me
"Nice to finally meet you!"

Cliffhanger because why not, if you guys liked this and want a part 2 let me know, I want to keep these shorts around 500-700 words and this one differently went over that.
Thanks for reading!
