waking up the next morning was challenging.

"jet lag sucks." i mumbled.

i got out of bed as quickly as i could when i remembered i was going to the zoo today!  yet the most challenging part of today was going to be picking out an outfit. it needs to be comfortable yet stylish, but also something that i can walk around a lot in. i settled on some blue jeans, a white crop top, a grey zip up sweater, and lastly some sneakers.

a tad basic but still cute

a tad basic but still cute. i walked in my bathroom to do my makeup and wash my face. i just did a simple, natural makeup look.

"we're gonna be late!" i yelled from the living room where i was waiting.

"okay okay we're coming!" millie said running out of her room with sabrina close behind her.

we hopped into the car quickly.

"australia zoo please." i told the driver.

i was extremely nervous and excited as we pulled up. when we got out of the car an employee came up to us in all khaki.

"we'll have to take you guys through the back, i hope you don't mind?" his accent was heavy.

"not at all. can i ask why?" i questioned.

"well the zoo is closed today."

"wait, it's closed today? then we shouldn't be here, should we?" millie asked confused.

"oh robert didn't tell you. he thought it would be a good idea for you to come when it was closed so he could give you guys a private tour. we're all working anyways so it's not much of a difference."

"well we hope we haven't caused too much trouble!" sabrina added.

"no, no, not at all! we are all very excited to have you." he said very sweetly.

we began to walk through the back gate.

"you look familiar, what's your name?" i asked.

"Wes." he glanced over his shoulder at me.

"oh my gosh! i can't believe i didn't recognize you. you were a close friend of steve's."

"yes i was!" he laughed.

"i love watching y'all's show," i couldn't finish my sentence out of shock.

right in front of us was the crocosem. this was dream come true, and I couldn't believe it. i was admiring the huge structure when Robert, Bindi, Teri, and Chandler came walking out of the exit. my heart started to race and I wasn't sure why, I had told myself over and over again not to fall for Robert, and I meant to stand by that. they were all talking to Robert, it almost looked like they were trying to clam him down.

"maybe he's nervous to see you, y/n?" millie elbowed me a little.

"I wouldn't put it past him. he's been a nervous wreck since you told him you were coming." west added with a laugh.

"why though? I'm not that special."

"omg its so obvious that he likes you. I haven't even met him and I see that! just look at the way he's walking, and he's obviously nervous." Sabrina added.

"and he has good reason to be." wes instantly regretted what he said.

"what has he have planned!?" millie and Sabrina asked squealing.

before wes could answer Terri and Bindi walked up to us.

"girls! i'm so glad you could come!" Terri and Bindi shook all our hands.

"I hope we're not causing too much trouble, I was told the zoo was closed today." I replied.

"oh not at all! we're working all the time anyway, this gives us a little excitement!"

finally Robert and chandler joined the group, and we all said hello.

"all right then we should figure out who's going with who on the tours. we would put you all together but its a big zoo and we don't want to take up to much of your day. me and wes have a meeting to go to so its just you kids. who wants to go where?" Terri asked.

"I would love to see the snakes." millie said.

"yes me too!" Sabrina added, "and didn't you want to see the crocs, y/n?"

"yes...I did" I was confused until I realized what they were doing, and JUST to make it less obvious I would play apart in their game. "Robert, wanna go together?" that's all I was doing, being nice, that's all I could be doing.

"sure."  Robert said a little shocked.

"okay then, so millie, Sabrina, your with me and chandler." bindi said invitingly.

me and Robert started off in the opposite direction.
