(Jaiden's POV)
2016
I was looking for other animators to collaborate with just so I could get to know the community a little better. I came across a popular animator with a little over 3 million subscribers. Hmm. "TheOdd1sout". I like him. So I sent this email to him: "Hey! I like your videos and was hoping you could read some lines for me. Interested?
James: Hey! Sure, I'd love to! I like your videos as well. What's the video about and when do you need the lines by?
Jaiden: Well I heard you also live in Arizona. So do you just wanna meet at my house for the sake of better audio quality? And to prove that you're not a serial killer?
James: Fair point. What's the address?
Jaiden: (insert street name here)
James: Sounds good. I'll be over at like 5pm?
Jaiden: Sounds good!
James: Okay see you then!
Jaiden: See you then!

Oh no. He's coming over in less than an hour. That is not enough time for me to mentally prepare. I guess I'll just deal with it.
*Time skip to 5pm*
*knock knock knock knock*
Jaiden: Hey James!
James: Hey Jaiden!
James: So uhhh should I come inside?
Jaiden: Yeah sure.
James: O-okay

Wow. A popular YouTuber in my house. I shouldn't be intimidated though. His sub count is slightly bigger. Ugh stop thinking about sub counts Jaiden.

James: So what do you like to do for fun besides YouT-
Jaiden: GORDAN RAMSAY
James: Well oKAY then.
James: Anything els-
Jaiden: GORDON RAMSAY
Jaiden: Oh and birds.
James: Oh speaking of-
*screech screech screech*
James: Man I just keep getting cut off today.
Jaiden: I'm gonna bring Ari over here.
James: Is that a good ide-
*screech screech screech*
James: SERIOUSLY
Jaiden: HAHA
James: Okay let's just get to recording before I get cut off again
Jaiden: Hehe okay.
Jaiden: Hey everyone! I have a special surprise for you. (trumpet noises) (laughter)
Jaiden: It's James!
(Imagine the voices fading away like a dramatic scene for a movie).

11pm
(James' POV)
We finally finished. I was having such a fun time and it was getting late. I honestly didn't want to leave. But I did not want to stay the night. That'd be way too awkward considering we just met in person today.

James: It's getting pretty late. I should head home now.
Jaiden: Aw okay.
James: I had fun though. We'll have to do it again soon.
Jaiden: Definitely.
James: Alright bye Jaiden!
Jaiden: Bye James!
*Door shuts gently*

(Jaiden's POV)
I wished that day could've lasted forever. I really didn't want him to leave. We were having so much fun. I felt a feeling. A spark.
I didn't know exactly what yet but, I could feel a great friendship coming on.
