Madison p.o.v

"ISN'T THAT THEODORE???" Julia yells.

I freeze not knowing what to do in that moment, I could feel anxiety taking over like a swirl in my stomach, I prepared for everything but seeing him again. He was wearing a long sleeve denim shirt with its sleeves folded up, dark jeans and boots.

"Theo?" I murmur slightly disturbed.

"Holy hell." Julia slips out.

"Teddy would never look as good as I do in denim. Guess again."

My jaw drops, Hiro looks at me joyfully as I put a hand over my mouth, I can't freaking believe it.

"Grayson!"

I didn't care how weirdly emotional I looked to the crowd, I almost jump to Grayson's arms hugging him for dear life. How I've missed these people.

"What the heck are you both doing here?" I squeeze him tight. I forgot how tall Grayson was.

"Hiro is on duty, I landed accidentally." He jokes.

I let him go, give a quick look and take a deep breath. He was the spitting image of Theodore, I chuckle, brushing away these thoughts. I had every reason to be happy, I turn again to Hiro and Jules who is looking at us in shock.

"Can somebody please tell me what's this dimension I'm stuck in?" She asks baffled.

My cheeks hurt. I can't stop smiling, I was so jumbled having them here. "Jules, remember I told you about Hiro and Grayson. Well boys, this is Julia."

Hiro greets her with a handshake and his signature grin.

Julia is mesmerized.

"Oh my god I'm speechless."

"So you are the very famous Julia that Madison told me about." Grayson bows down a little taking her hand and kissing it gently. "I'm Grayson, the more handsome twin who just flew out from a dungeon."

Jules laughs nervously like I've never seen her do it before. Hiro and I stare at each other.

"You are the spitting image of your twin, sorry I called you Theodore!" Jules apologizes flustered covering the biggest smile on her face.

"It happens a million times over a year."

"Still, I mean - "

"Madison, you mentioned Julia practically lived in Brooklyn Brothers but you never mentioned how beautiful she was."

Julia sends a death glare along with a powerful slap on my arm. "Maddie!" and brushes off laughing. "The lies you tell."

"Ok, now that we're done greeting and beating." I pause looking at Jules. "Please join us."

As soon as they sat on the table and had been formerly introduced, they were instantly bombarded with questions and conversation started flowing. We had split automatically, Julia sat on the opposite side of the table with Grayson on the corner, we were facing each other, I sit on the corner as well and Hiro on my right, facing Jules, and also next to Luke, who looked at us in pique the rest of the evening.

The waitress took our orders, finally turning to the last people on the table, me and Hiro.

"And you two?"

Hiro looks at me in an amusing way. "Let's go for dessert first?"

"Husband material right there." Kat points out.

"I'll give you dessert later you cheeky monkey." Johan hums.

"Tipsy tart?"

I nod excited and Luke snorts but I ignore him, Hiro doesn't.
