Matt drove us to Times Square. We got there in about 35 minutes from the tree house.

During the drive, Matt made small talk about the tree house.

"Andrea?"

"Hmm?" I mumbled.

"You know the tree house we just went to? Remember how I told you, you were the first person that I ever brought there."

"Yes." I said as I looked at him.

"Remember how I told you my dad built that for me?" I nodded.

"He specifically told me that it was my tree house."

"Okay?" I said.

"Well it's not my tree house Andrea."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"It's our tree house."

I stayed silent.

"And I think we should call it: The Mattrea Tree House."

I started laughing.

"Or, or thee uh! The Mandrea Tree House! Or The Aatthew Tree House!"

"Haha how cute. Our ship name?!" I spoke sarcastically.

"Ooh! Better yet! How about: Thee Andrea Tree House!"

What?

"Huh? I hear no ship name in it?! Just my name?!" I asked.

"That's the point. The tree house is 'about me' and you basically sum up everything in my life." he spoke.

"Haha- um - that doesn't make any sense."

"Well I'm calling the tree house: Thee Andrea Tree House okay?"

"Thee Andrea Tree House it is." I mumbled.

Matt pulled over at some paint store at Times Square and walked in.

I got out his truck and went in the store.

"Hello, I'm Matt this is Andrea, and I'm looking for a big piece of long brown wood, and some purple paint." Matt spoke to an employee who looked around her mid- 20s.

"Sure! Right this way! What are you kids doing here out so late?" she asked.

"We have a project to complete." Matt spoke up.

"We do?" I asked.

"Oh! How exciting! What kind of project?" she asked.

"A project on a tree house." Matt said.

Oh.

"What is your project going to be called?" she asked.

"Thee Andrea Tree House." I spoke up.

"Oh how nice!" she said handing over Matthew the wood and paint.

After we paid we went back to the tree house.

"Matt? Can we just do this tomorrow? You know? When it's sunny." Andrea asked.

"Sure Andrea." I said.

"Lets take you home then." I said about to get in my truck.

"Wait, uh can I stay here? I really don't want to face my mother." Andrea spoke.
