London, UK

Krissten's POV.

After the whole fiasco with Tord earlier, I decided that I wouldn't spend the rest of the day in my room. I grabbed a couple of things I might need (Laptop, phone, wireless headset, drawing pad, colored and normal pencils, and a eraser) and headed into the living room, and placed my stuff on the couch. I turned on my wireless headphones and put my phone on YouTube, and picked out a song.

I pressed on the desired song that I wanted, and Faster Car began to play.

I bobbed my head along to the music, I didn't notice that I began to quietly sing along to the words, because I was so sucked into my drawing pad. I think the volume was up way high cause after halfway through the song I felt my shoulder being nudged, so I paused the song and took an earphone out to see Edd looking down at me.

I gave him a patient smile, "Hey Edd. What's up?" I asked him as I scooted over so he would have some room on the sofa, and he takes a seat next to me. "I thought I heard something and came in to check it out, turns out it was coming from you. Whatcha up to?" He responds with a question back. I smile and look back at my drawing, "Oh I thought I would spend some time doodling while listening to music." I answered.

His face glows brightly, and stands up excited, "Hey! I like to draw too! In fact, I have my own drawings. Do you want to see them?" I look at him and smile back, "Of course! Why don't we hang out in here and draw?" I suggest to him. His face darkened with a red hue, and he scratched the back of his neck, "Y-yeah! Why not? I mean, Tom went to the bar for a drink, Matt went out to the park for a little while, and... I'm not so sure what Tord is doing but he's probably watching or reading his hentai..."

"Atchoo!" *Sniff* Tom let out a small sneeze, wiped his nose, looked around the bar, shrugged to himself, and continued to drink his alcohol.

"Ah, ah, ATCHOOY!" Matt sneezed so loud that a couple of birds flew out of a nearby tree. "I have the weirdest feeling that someone was just talking about me..." He said as he scratched his chin curiously.

A muffled sneeze could be faintly heard from underneath a pile of pillows and blankets in a dark room.

(Back to Edd and Krissten)

Edd's POV.

I had just gone into my room to retrieve my drawing book and some pencils and returned to the living room, where Krissten was waiting for me on the floor. Before I sat down with her I laid my stuff on the ground next to her and looked at her, "Do you want anything to drink?" I asked her, facing the direction of the kitchen, she  look up before responding, "Um... Do you perhaps have any Lemon Lime Soda?"

My eyes widened before walking into the kitchen and going to the fridge and opening it, I grabbed a Cola can and looked around before my eyes landed on a small can of Sprite. Tom and Matt went shopping one time when I got sick with the flu and accidentally bought Sprite instead of Cola, thank goodness we still had some emergency Cola left, just in case.

I grabbed it and closed the fridge door, poured the Sprite into a glass with ice, and headed back into the living room, handing the glass to her and placed my Cola next to me. She took a small sip and placed it down, grabbing her drawing pad and a pencil.

She peered at me and gave me a small smile, "I thought we could do something different, you and me have a small time to draw something and when the time is up, we show each other our drawings!" She suggested, I nodded my head in agreement. Then she grabbed her phone and put on a timer, when she placed it back down she grabbed her pad and I did the same.

"Time starts... Now." She began the timer and I began to draw.

(3 minutes later)

Krissten's POV

The timer rang telling us that the time was up, both of us stopped and faced each other. "Do you want to show yours first Edd?" I asked him, wanting to show mine last, he nodded and flipped his book around. It was a drawing of Ringo, wearing his signature green hoodie. It looked so cute! "Well, are you going to show me yours?" He asked, placing his drawing down. I fumbled with my pad before turning it to face him,

(Note: this is an old drawing that I did on my old iPhone, please don't steal my art ok?)

As I looked back up at him I snickered a little at his reaction, his mouth was gaping open and his eyes looked like they were going to pop right out. I covered my mouth so I wouldn't let out a laugh, and leaned towards him. I placed two fingers under his chin and lifted so his mouth would close, "Don't leave your mouth open Eddie, you'll catch flies in there." I stated to him.

His face exploded into the darkest shade of red, that he would make a tomato feel jealous. He snapped out of his daze and scratched his neck nervously,"S-sorry, it's just your art is really amazing! I was shocked by it..." He stuttered out shakily, my face showed a genuine smile, but on the inside I was fangirling so hard that I could make my brain deaf.

But I was good at hiding it and continued to smile, "Aw thanks Edd!" I said, "..." "Is something wrong?" He asked, noticing my side glance. "Oh I was just remembering when I used to draw when I was little, I wasn't good at drawing before, but I got a lot of practice when I drew with D-" I stopped myself before I could say it, I froze right on the spot. I could feel the tears, but I didn't let them out, I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't, I-

"Krissten?"

I snapped out of it and raised my head up seeing Edd looking worried, "Are you alright? You didn't finish-" "It's nothing..." "But-" I cut him off by raising my head so he could see my facial expression, I give him a forced smile, "It's nothing to worry about, it's not important..." He looks at me with a concerned look, but he listens and doesn't push further.

Just then Matt walked through the front door carrying what looks to be a half sober-half drunken Tom, "Hey guys!" Matt exclaims as he sees us, "I found Tom on my way home and noticed he was stumbling a bit drunkly, so I decided to help him." Tom raises his head up lopsided, "I'm, Na- *Hic* I'm nat dru- *Hic* drunk..."

I roll my eyes to notice the wall clock showed that it was 8:30 pm,"Dang, 8:30 already? Time sure flies doesn't it?" I stated as I get up to stretch my limbs, "Well," I begin as I yawn, "I'ma head to bed. Goodnight guys."

"Goodnight Krissten."

"Goodnight Krissy!"

"Good- *Hic* Night"

I roll my eyes once again at the alcoholic, and head to my room. But before I open the door I notice something off, Tord hasn't come out if his room since this morning... I wonder why he hasn't come out? I shrug as I headed inside.

But little did I know, that someone just became sober and decided to do some late night music playing...
