Steffany's Point of View:

It had been about a week since our little dance party and a week since we met Bronx officially. Since then, we had started hanging out with Joe and Andy a lot more. We were all just lying around, trying to deal with the L.A. heat when Pete's head shot up and he had a brilliant idea. 

"Let's go to a mother fucking water park." he said, a dead pan expression on his face. Taylor gasped, clearly excited and high fived Joe. 

"I'm up for it!" Patrick smiled wide, making him look adorable. 

"Ok, so I got a bunch of shorts and shit you guys can borrow. I assume you two brought your own?" Pete gestured to us. We nodded enthusiastically and Patrick made an uncomfortable noise. 

"What is it, Stumpy?" Taylor asked, tilting her head. 

"I... I don't feel comfortable with not having a shirt on..." he mumbled. 

"It's cool, Patty, you can borrow one of mine." Pete said, smiling and scrunching up his nose, much like Taylor did whenever she teased someone. It was weird how similar they were, despite the years of being apart. 

We all headed our seperate ways, getting dressed and gathered back in the living room. 

"Hey! Group shot!" Pete said, doing that MySpace angle so we could all fit in the picture. Naturally, as soon as he posted it, people bombarded him with tweets.

"@PeteWentz: Who are those girls?"

"@PeteWentz: Yay! Fall Out Boy! And... some random girls..."

"@PeteWentz: WHAT ABOUT MEAGAN." 

We all laughed at the tweets and assumptions and decided to take another picture, this time just the three of us. He tagged us in it, captioning it as: "Hanging out with my daughter and niece today!(: <3" 

Of course, the entire fandom exploded. He had to turn off his notifications and we went on our merry way to the water park. On the car ride there, I felt my phone buzz. I checked it and saw that I had a new follower on Twitter.... and another... and another... 

Taylor's phone started going crazy, as well. She was gaining followers faster than I thought was humanly possible. I thought Twitter was going to fucking explode from all of the new, sudden followers who wanted to get a glimpse of the new girls in Pete's life.

"I guess they found you." Andy said, trying to hide a grin. 

"Don't laugh, I just gained like 200 followers in two minutes." she said, shocked. All the band members just laughed. 

"Welcome to our world." Joe scoffed. 

"Oh god, please don't let them find my Tumblr account." Taylor and I said simultaneously. 

"Tumblr?!" Pete asked, his eyes wide. 

"A homeboy's life." was all Taylor said. I looked at her and grinned in a cheshire like manner.

"Ah, so I see you follow me...." Pete laughed. My cousin giggled, nodding her head. 

We arrived at the water park and the guys jumped out of the car so quickly, they left a trail of dust. Except for Patrick, who seemed kind of terrified and horrified at the same time. I looked at Taylor, who held up a finger, as if to say 'I got this.'

And with that, I sped away to catch up with the guys, hiding my body, knowing what I was about to uncover.

Taylor's Point of View:

As everyone else ran away to go buy tickets, I stayed behind with Patrick. 

"Hey, Stump. What's wrong?" I asked.
