The next day, I sorted my kitchen, getting the ingredients out. I barely got any sleep last night, thinking about everything that happened yesterday. The entire time we were filming that video kept running through my mind, as well as when James walked me to the fence. At this time, I am trying to clean the few messy dishes I had, and overfilled the sink, causing water to spill out onto the floor.

"Ah! Nononono!" I scream as water continued spilling out onto my kitchen floor. Quickly shutting off the water, I run to the bathroom and grab loads of towels. Running back, I throw the towels into the puddle, then reach into the sink to pull the plug. That was necessary, but caused more water to spill onto the towels.

"Ugh, could this day get any worse?" I whine.

Apparently I shouldn't have said that because just then the doorbell rings.

"Oh no!" I yell. "They're here!"

Luckily the sink is almost drained, so I could trust it to be unattended, but the floor is still covered in towels. That could be a problem. I run to the door, then stop before I open it, smoothing my clothes and hair. Opening the door, I am greeted by Nathan and Gabe.

"Hey (Y/n)," Nathan greets me.

"Hi," Gabe says.

"Hey guys, come on in!" I say, moving to the side. They walk in, and I notice someone is missing. "Hey, where's James?"

"He said he'll be over soon," Gabe tells me.

Just then I hear a knocking on my back door. Walking through the kitchen, past my mess, I open the door. There is James.

"How did you get out there?" I ask him, incredulous as to how he got past me.

He smirks at me, his blue eyes twinkling. "You said I could jump the fence."

"I said no such thing," I tell him.

"Well, it was implied," he smiles at me.

All I can do was shake my head and welcome him in.

"This place looks really nice," James tells me, taking a look around.

"The place is honestly pretty empty, apart from my kitchen,"I say as I shrug. "By the way, watch out for the towels. My sink kinda overflowed." I say, looking at the floor.

"We'd better clean that up," James tells me.

"Yeah, before anyone slips and falls," Nathan comments.

"What is is? A banana peel?" I joke, making everyone laugh, including myself. It feels so good to make James laugh.

"Anyway," I say after I catch my breath , "let's clean this mess up and get ready for this video."

One cleanup process later, we are ready to film the video for my channel. I had already shown them the recipe, and they all agreed they could do it. We also came up with a really cool idea for the intro.

"Hello my lovely sugarlings! Welcome to another video," I say, leaning on the counter. "Now, I'm sure you've read the title of this video, and you know I'm collabing?" I pause, a puzzling look crossing my face as I stare at the ceiling. "Can you call it a collab? Anyway, I'm teaching a youtuber, or should I say youtubers, how to bake." I slyly smirk at the camera, then look around like I'm confused. "You guys gonna come out, or am I going to keep talking to myself?"

Nathan, Gabe and James pop up from where they were crouching in the floor.

"This isn't your house," Gabe says to Nathan, pretending to be confused about their new surroundings.
