I was hanging out with the gang downstairs in the living room. I didn't really know what we were doing, just talking about random stuff and throwing food at each other. I heard some voices outside and assumed Melanie had found Jordan. I was gonna have to tell her soon. I knew Jordan and Zach liked her too, so I'd just have to tell her before they do. The voices stopped and things got silent. Me being curious, I walked over and opened the door, and what I saw broke my heart. Jordan and Melanie, engaged in a kiss. I slammed the door and cursed loudly.

"Woah, dude, what's wrong?", Kevin asked.

"Yea, what happened out there?", Dul asked, also.

"Is Melanie ho-", Zach started, but I interuppted him.

"Nothing happened guys! I'm just pissed at Melanie.", I let the words slip. Dammit! Now they were going to ask why I was mad, but I wasn't even mad at her, I was mad at Jordan. Wait, no I wasn't! I was angry at myself, because I didn't tell her my feelings before Jordan did.

"Why are you mad?", Devon asked.

I had to think of a reason. Now.

"Sh-she didn't get me my Chipotle! Ugh, I can't believe her!", I said in a fake angry voice.

They just started laughing. Good, they were done interrogating me. Then, Melanie walked in with a huge smile on her face, and I couldn't stand it. I should've been the one making her happy! I left the room before anyone else asked me questions.

It was the next morning, and I couldn't be more annoyingly happy. Not only was Jordan my boyfriend now, but today was the first day of Pax! The whole house was scrambling to get ready, and it was pure chaos.

"Where's my left shoe?"

"Has anyone seen my vlogging camera?"

"I'm so hungry!"

"Get out of my way!"

But finally, we miraculously got everyone to the convention center on time. Cube had a panel this year at 11:30, and I couldn't wait. But for now, we were just walking around, looking for other Youtubers.

On our way to our panel, some girl bumped into me hard and I stumbled but eventually regained my balance.

"Oh my goodness, are you okay?", she asked, sounding worried.

I laughed and answered, "I'm fine, thank you. I'm Melanie.".

"I'm Jamie, nice to meet you!", she said. Wait, her voice sounded familiar. Was she who I think she was?

"Wait are you Jamiesings?", I asked.

"Yes! Are you a fan?"

"Duh! Your voice is perfection."

"Thank you! You seem familiar, too! You're Melanie from the Cube, right?"

"Yes, I am! This is the gang!", I said, gesturing to the huge crowd behind me.

"Wow, hi guys!", she waved. They all waved back. I checked my phone for the time.

"We've gotta go, we have a panel starting in like ten minutes, but I'll see you later! We definitely need to go out for lunch some time!"

"Totally, I'll talk to you later.", she said and began walking away.

We got to the panel and started sitting down. Zach on my left, Jordan on my right. Well, now that I knew Zach liked me, too, this should be interesting...

People started piling in, and the questions start coming.

Most of them were for the whole group, so when this question came up, I was surprised and nervous.

"Hi, I'm Destiney! Big fan of all of you, but I have a question for my queen. Melanie, who are you crushing on in the Cube?", she asked. I knew it was gonna come up, but it still made me anxious.

"Umm..." I glanced at Jordan and he gives me a nod. Okay, here it goes I guess.

"Okay, so this is something that we haven't even told the other members. Me and Jordan are dating.", I said, and all hell broke loose. People were chanting "Mayani", others were chanting "Grelanie", and it was just too much for me. But it all stopped when a particularly deep voice boomed through the speakers.

"Hey! That was their decision and if you don't like it, you can go back home and unsubscribe. You don't have to watch either of their videos ever again. But the other Cube members don't mind so it's not like we are kicking them out. So everybody calm down.", Liam yelled. He was a real lifesaver. I looked over to him and mouthed, "Thank you", and he replied with a smile.

The rest of the panel went smoothly, and now it was time for the signing. Me and Jordan have the longest lines, but mine beats his by a few people.

"Boom. I've got a longer line, yo.", I said, and he poked my side. I flinched and poked his side, and now we were in a poking war. That is, until a girl in front of us coughed to get our attention.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Jordan over here was being a sore loser.", I said, and realized that this was the girl who asked the question about me and Jordan.

"That's okay. I don't have anything for you guys to sign, but I wanted to tell you guys that I'm so incredibly sorry for asking that question. But congrats! I was always on Team Mayani, by the way.", she said, laughing.

"It's okay, we were going to have tell everyone anyway. And Team Mayani for the win!", Jordan said.

"What's your name again?", I asked.

"Destiny.", she said, smiling.

"Wow, you aren't a crazed fan. We should go get lunch some time!", I suggested.

"Really? That'd be amazing!", she yelled.

"Here's my Skype, but don't show your friends. I trust you, though.", I said, scratching my Skype name onto a scrap of paper.

"Of course not! Why would I want to ruin my favorite Youtuber's life?", she laughed.

We talked for a little while longer, and Destiny was really cool. Security eventually pulled her out of line because we were talking for too long.

So today, I met one of my favorite Youtubers and a not crazy fan.

That's cool.
