WE WERE LEAVING the hotel today, and transferring to another one that will be closer to Sophia's reunion. We had to leave because we went there for free since Ellen paid for us. Sophia and I were packing while watching The Office, and eating Hot Cheetos that we stole from Jake.

"Hey, do you have any room in your suitcase? I ran out 'cause I stuffed a bunch of lotion and shampoo from the bathroom." I ask while struggling to zip up my bag.

"Yeah I do, but why?" she says, throwing a Cheeto in her mouth.

"What? They're free! You take what you can get." I reply, throwing some of the bottles in her suitcase. I was finally able to zip up my bag without it bursting any moment and I fall into bed, sighing deeply. "This bed was where I took the best naps in my life."

"Me too," Sophia giggles. "but you and I are meeting up with my friends! I honestly can't wait!"

"I know, I want Chosen to sing me to sleep and to give Jeremy his signed merch and cry over The Vamps." I babble, stealing a handful of Hot Cheetos and popping some in my mouth. "What are we doing at the reunion, anyways?"

She shrugs, "I'm not sure, but I don't think it's some fancy event, just a casual hangout with all of the cast." her phone rings and she picks up her phone, "Hello? Now? Okay, we'll meet you there, bye." Sophia picks up her bags, "We're going."

"Aw man," I groan, "we didn't even finish this episode!" I turn off the TV and grab my belongings. The two of us exit our room and enter the elevator. We found the rest of Sophia's family waiting in the lobby.

"Ready to go? Our driver is here." Her dad says, pointing his thumb to a big van. We nod and leave the hotel, hopping in the vehicle.

"Sophia, Mimi, wake up." Jake's voice disrupts my nap and I wave my hand to shoo him away. My nap was short, but it was really refreshing.

I get out of the van to see the hotel in front of me, and it was pretty snazzy looking - it was a tall building with large windows displaying shelves full of plants. I enter the building to find wooden furniture decorating the lobby, and even spotted a few cafés and restaurants. The hotel had a warm and cozy ambiance, which was nice.

"Your dad and I will have our own room, and Philip will too. That means you, Mimi. and Jake will share one, okay?" Sophia's mom explains. We shake our heads yes and a bellboy arrives. He carries our baggage into the elevator, and we follow, heading to Sophia, Jake, and I's room first.

We arrive at our suite and the bellboy swipes a card to open the door, revealing two sets of bunk-beds, a living space, and a long corridor leading to the bathroom. Large windows let the sun's rays pour onto the wooden floor and light up the whole room, making it look bigger and cozier.

"Wow, this place looks great." Sophia gazes out the window, overlooking the streets of Los Angeles.

"Great? It's fantastic! Incredible!" Jake exclaims.

I walk into the bathroom and found endless bottles of shampoo and lotion. "Bingo." I smirk in satisfaction. Before walking out, I grabbed a bottle of lotion.

The bellboy chuckles, "Here's two cards for the three of you to open the door. Enjoy your stay!" he hands Jake the two cards, and we give him a tip.
