"Zoe?" I called out, waving the flashlight around the dark room.

I rolled my eyes and made my way to the light switch and switched it on, which did nothing.

"Zoe?" I called again.

"Boo!" Zoe yelled, running behind me and slapping my back.

I squealed and jumped, swinging my arm at her in defense.

"What the hell, Zoe!" I cried.

"Ow." She pouted, rubbing the side of her mouth.

"I told you not to do that!" I sighed.

"Sorry. Are you mad at me? Don't be mad at me. Please, please, please!" She pleaded.

"Fine, but I have to get you back." I nodded.

"Get me back?" Zoe cried. "You just hit me!"

"Yeah but it was out of reflex. And I'm talking about scaring you back." I laughed.

The door opened and Alfie walked in, tried to turn the light on but failed, and sighed.

"Alright," Alfie chuckled. "Why is the lightbulb out?"

"I don't know," I crossed my arms. "Ask your girlfriend."

"I scared her." Zoe pointed out.

"No, you just frightened me slightly." I shrugged.

"See this Alfie?" Zoe pointed to her cheek. "That's a bruise. I got it from scaring the hell out of Chloe."

"Whatever." I pouted. "Hey, I have a joke." Zoe groaned and I rolled my eyes. "Come on, its a good one."

"Yeah, out of the hundreds you've told before." Zoe mumbled. "But go for it."

"Well now I'm not since my jokes are bad." I crossed my arms.

"No, go for it. Zoe doesn't know what she's talking about." Alfie tried convince.

"Fine, fine. How many YouTubers does it take to change a lightbulb?" I tried hard not to laugh.

Alfie and Zoe looked at each other before Zoe sighed.

"How many?"

"Five!" I snorted.

"That was bad." Someone said from the hallway. I turned my head to see Joe with a suitcase in hand.

"Joe!" I screeched, running to him and knocking him down to the ground.

"Chummy!" Joe yelled, smirking at Zoe who rolled her eyes.

"Off." A girl's voice sternly said from above me. I looked up to see Joe's girlfriend looking down at Joe and I with an unamused look on her face.

"Sorry Monica..." I awkwardly coughed and shuffled toward Alfie to hide behind him.

"It's fine." She wrapped an arm around Joe's waist.

"So what brings you guys here?" Alfie asked.

"I wanted to come see you guys!" Joe grinned.

"Why?" I asked softly, peeking from behind Alfie.

"Because I missed you guys. I missed you..." Joe trailed off.

"Okay," Monica coughed. "Let's go shopping, babe."

Joe nodded and followed Monica out the door, dropping the suitcase by the couch.

"What a bitch..." Zoe breathed.

"I think she's nice." Alfie shrugged.

"Of course you do," I laughed. "Only because you think she had nice teeth and nice hair and nice boobs and nice stomach and nice-"
