Sister to Jonas

LA

Brexley's POV

Upon arrival in LA, Joe and I collect our luggage from baggage claim and then search for our dad, who is already there to pick us up. When he sees us, he beams and spreads his arm wide for a hug, which I run over to give him at once.

"Dad!" I say happily, and he laughs.

"Hey, Brexley. How's my favorite daughter?" he asks, and I pull away from him so he can see me roll my eyes.

"I'm your only daughter," I tell him, and he grins.

"Doesn't stop you being my favorite," he says, and I laugh as Joe goes in for a hug.

"Good to see you, Joe! How was the flight?" Dad asks him, and I have to turn away from them for a second so I don't laugh.

"It was...interesting, to say the least," Joe mutters.

"Interesting good or interesting bad?" Dad says.

"Let's just say he got roasted by a fifteen year old," I add in, and Joe glares at me.

"What?" Dad asks, chuckling.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you in the car; that way, I'll only have to embarrass myself once," Joe says.

"Okay, but just know you're not getting out of telling me, now," Dad says, and Joe nods.

"I know. Unfortunately."

The three of us wait in the pickup area for ten minutes before Danielle and Kevin come strolling over with their luggage. We take turns hugging each other and telling each other how much we missed them, and then we head out to the car. Finally, we're on our way to our childhood home, and I couldn't be more excited.

"So, what's this Dad's telling me about you getting yelled at by a fifteen year old?" Kevin asks, grinning as he puts his seat belt on.

Swiveling around in the passenger seat, Joe fires one last dirty look at me before launching into his explanation.

"It wasn't just directed at me, I just happened to be the brother who was there. But anyways, Brexley and I met Sophie Turner, the Game of Thrones actress, on our flight. Naturally, you know, I went over to introduce myself and tell her I like the show, and I figured she would be happy about it, but apparently not. She likes that band Busted, the ones who wrote Year 3000 and What I Go To School For, and she did not appreciate us re-recording those songs and making them more popular than the originals," Joe says.

"So what did she say about that specifically?" Dani asks.

"She called me a James Bourne wannabe," Joe says, and at this, Dad bursts out laughing.

"Wow, you're really gaining some fans today, aren't you," he says.

"That's not even the worst of it. He didn't know who James Bourne was, so he asked her, and that just pissed her off more!" I tell them.

"Oh, Joe," Kevin says, burying his face in his hands as he laughs.

"How was I supposed to know?" Joe retorts, spinning all the way around to look at Kevin.

"We did meet Busted, you know."

"Well, I forgot. And now Sophie Turner hates me, so that's fantastic," Joe says, and we all crack up again.

"Sounds like you guys had a very eventful trip out here then," Dani says, and I nod.

"Yeah, you could say that," I tell her.
