Jake's video: I PUT A GIANT INFLATABLE On My House!

Juliet's POV:

Sam came into my room while I was practicing a song for a recording.

He had a ketchup bottle and squeezed it.

I shielded my face and was met with string. "What the--Is that--That's fake."

He laughed. "Yeah, it is. I got you good!"

"Sorta. How's this sounding?"

"It sounds good. What song is that?"

"Uh, Therapy by All Time Low. Realized I've never put it up. Viewers of mine on Sam's channel, you just got a snippit. Should be coming within the week."

Sam smiled as he turned off his camera. "I can't wait."

"You watch my videos?"

"Sometimes, yeah. Not as much as Colby, but sometimes I watch yours."

"Glad to hear. You recording today?"

He nodded. "A UFO conspiracy theory."

"Ooh! That sounds interesting. You'll have to tell me the gist of what they say."

"Sure thing."

I waved. "Enjoy your conspiracy theory."

"Enjoy your guitar-playing and singing."

He left my room and I resumed my practice.

Eventually, I made my way outside to sit near the pool and get some fresh air.

I laughed, seeing Jake smash an egg gently on Colby's head.

Colby quietly screamed and said it was cold before seeing the egg on the ground.

I started pushing him towards the pool and he shook his head. "Babe, no. I've got pants on and my phone's in my pocket."

"Take it out, then," I told him.

"No, 'cause you're gonna push me into the pool!"

"See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me," I sang.

"No, don't sing Disney songs and stop pushing me towards the pool."

Colby stood his ground and I tried pushing him as hard as I could, but nothing happened.

"Gosh dangit!" I yelled. "I hate it when you do that."

He kissed me. "Nah, you love me. Remember, you have to be even more careful, now."

"I know. Well, got me there. I do love you. A lot."

"I love you more."

"I love you most. Whoa! We just went full Tangled there! Um, I got some editing to do, so I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Yeah, sure. I think Jake wants my help for a video, so I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Yeah. Stay safe."

"You too."

I went inside the house and started my editing.

After about an hour, I heard Jake yell, "Juliet! Come outside!"

I groaned, annoyed to be disrupted from my editing and followed Jake outside.

"What?" I asked, annoyed.

Jake pointed to the roof. "You like?"

"Uh, yeah. Where--Hey, babe? Be careful up there. Wouldn't want you to get hurt. You too, Jake."

Colby smiled. "Don't worry, babe. I'll be safe. You see what it says?"

"Trap House Rules? Heck yeah, it does."

Colby and Jake got down.

"Trap House rules!" Jake cried.

Colby cheered weirdly and I raised an eyebrow as I stared at him. "Yeah, okay, Colbs."

"We fucking did it," Jake said as he went to hug Colby.

As they hugged, Jake's hand inched closer to my husband's butt. I normally might have said something, but this was the way they were.

"So, Sam has no idea still," Jake said. "Let's blindfold him and bring him out."

While the Corey and I waited outside, Colby went to get Sam.

Jake and Colby led Sam outside and when Sam was in position, Jake said, "Take off the blindfold, Sam."

Sam took off the blindfold and turned to the camera. "Oh, my God!" He turned back to the inflatable dog. "What? That is beautiful!"

"I know!" Colby agreed.

"How did you do that? Shit, that's huge. What is that, a polar bear?"

"It's a dog wearing cool glasses," Jake deadpanned.

Colby walked to the other end of the backyard to presumably get a better view of the inflatable dog and Jake joined him.

They soon returned and Jake said, "It's really beautiful, man."

Colby walked up to the balcony. "Great. I'm looking at dog ass. Thanks for the view, asshole!"

"Hey! Be nice to the inflatable dog!" I yelled, entering the house to resume my guitar playing.

As I started walking inside, I saw the inflatable dog falling. I ran to check on it to see it fell on Jake, but he was okay.

Colby jumped onto the inflatable dog to get on the ground and as it was being dragged to the other end, a pole broke off the fence.

Corey decided we had a new workout thing and grabbed the strings from the dog and worked out with them a little.

Jake went inside the inflatable dog and pretended he couldn't get out.

I peeked inside. "Kinda cozy in here."

Jake nodded. "That's what I thought. So, are you still gonna be in videos?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, you got a baby coming now."

"So long as I'm not doing anything insane, I'll be fine. And eventually, I'll tell viewers. Or maybe participate less and pull a Tyler and Jenna. I don't know yet."

"I have no idea what that means, but it sounds like you and Colby should talk and decide what to do."

"He's pretty lenient, but it wouldn't hurt. Enjoy your inflatable dog."

"I will. And if you want to get away from all of us, you can come in here."

"Thanks."
