When Our Stars Aligned

chapter 14- Vidcon Part 2

~the next morning~

As the morning sun gleamed shinning into the room. Cricket slowly woke up and smiled waking up in her boyfriend's arms, holding her close making her feel very safe and well protected as she remembered every detail of the events of the previous night that would stay between them. She loved how at peace Damien looked like his blue streak gleamed a brighter shade of blue which she had considered doing to her own hair maybe sometime in the near future. She looked up and smiled seeing he was awake, and he looked to her as their eyes met. He softly kissed her forehead. "Good morning gorgeous", he said groggily but to Cricket it was adorable. She smiled softly "Good morning Handsome"", she replied kissing his cheek. Damien but his lip seeing the ridiculously small but noticeable hickie on her neck. "Shoot...Crick...I'm. Sor" Cricket placed her finger gently on his lips to stop him from finishing his sentence as she smiled shaking her head softly "You don't need to apologize. Last night was everything because we got to be us without pressure. I Love you and I never could imagine feeling the way I do right now because your everything. Please don't worry I got plenty of make up to cover this up so no one will know" Damien smiled feeling better and kissed her head "Thank you blue eyes, you're the best thing that's ever happen to me and last night meant a lot to me too. We should get ready since everyone will be waiting for us soon"

-At vid con-

As the summer games pirates trailer played the cast smiled hearing their cheers of excitement as each fan favorites names appeared. As the trailer ended and the lights came back on Matt Raub came out in his ref costume for the theme of summer games "Well what do you think guys? Is it time to bring out the teams?', he said getting the crowed more hyped as they cheered. "Alrighty, introducing for the first time Team gold please welcome the Peg-leggers! Come on out Ian, Sohinki, Lasercorn, Mari, kimmy, Shayne and Cricket!" The Peg-Leggers came out with their team shirts and they all sat down on one side of the stage and waited for their rival team to come out as the crowds applause died down. "And for Team silver we got the Canon Sharks! Come on out Olivia, Noah, Keith, Courtney, Joven, Damien and Boze!" The crowd cheered even more as the Cannon sharks marched out. The Peg-leggers playfully booed their rivals. As they all sat down Matt looked at both teams "Wow you all look amazing and guys these shirts are available at Smosh.Store and at our merch table along with my favorite coffee... Wait Ian! Did you steal my note cards just so you could plug about my favorite coffee?" Ian smiled with a mischievous grin "Maybe". Everyone laughed as the first question that was for Damien and Cricket was read. The question was in regard to how they were able to be summer games rivals and still be a couple when they aren't filming. Cricket smiled "That's a great question and the truth is Damien and I in a weird way used the games as couples therapy like in the insult sword fight there were things said that honestly made me laugh and yes Damien apologized" she said as everyone laughed and Damien chuckled rubbing his neck trying not to blush at the comment "Yeah the couples rivalry was a lot of fun especially when Cricket and I get very competitive so in a way it brought us closer in a way but we tried very hard not to be flirty while filming which made it more fun"

~Flash back to the insult sword fight~

Sarah and Matt stood next to a table that had two treasure chests on it. One was gold representing the Peg-leggers and the other was silver representing the cannon sharks. Tomey stood next to the two teams and explained how the game was going to work in addition to the two opponents wearing helmets for the go-pro camera's for player view angles. "The objective is to not just to knock your opponent off, but you will also be giving each other insults like in a funny banter way. Alrighty Sarah who is up for the peg-leggers?" Sarah closed her eyes and pulled out a name and smiled "Well it looks like our newbie Cricket is up first. So, Cricket go gear up while we find out who you're going to be battling. Cricket nodded and went to gear up. They took off her mic so they could hook it up to the go pro camera. Suddenly cheers and Shayne's scream where heard but She couldn't hear whose name had been chosen for the cannon sharks. When she was finally ready, she went over to the inflatable ship and climbed onto her spot and grabbed her foam sword from Tomey as her opponent made his way to his spot as Cricket started laughing reacting to who she would be battling. "No Freakin way! Are you guys for real?", she said through laughter as Damien smiled as everyone was still laughing and cheering. "This is the weirdest couples therapy session I've ever seen so Cramien please keep this like as PG as you can, not just for us but for the viewers", Matt teased. Damien shook Crickets hand as the game began "Well M'lady y.you are incredibly short!" Cricket laughed and gasped "Wow okay sir may I remind you I am in fact the same height as Shayne and Ian. By the way I didn't know papa Smurf allowed tall smurfs into the village!", she replied as Shayne laughed "Damn she went there dude!" Damien nodded laughing trying to think of a better one but that one he had to admit was really good as the sword battled continued. "Hey Cricket, it looks like your about to need more training", he said. "Well Dames I'd hate to tell you this, but the blue man group called, and they want their blue dye back", she replied as everyone continued laughing. Finally, Damien got the chance he had waited for once he saw her wobble as their foam swords hit "Hey Cricket I'd hate to do this but I still love you", He said as she fell off and laughed as the timer went off. Needless to say, the cannon sharks had been victorious in that game, but it was the Peg-leggers who took the ultimate victory of the summer games.

*End of Flash back*

After the panel Cricket went to touch up her make up. Kimmy and Courtney followed her to the bathroom. "Okay Crick tell us how your night with Deems?", Kimmy asked as she reapplied her lip stick. Cricket tried to hide her blush "Th. There's nothing to tell. I went back to his room and that's it. what ever happened stays between him and I". Courtney nodded seeing how uncomfortable Cricket had gotten and decided to drop the questions. Meanwhile Damien was getting the same questions from Shayne, but he stopped once he saw how bashful Damien got "What happened last night is between me and my girlfriend okay", Damien had remarked as the girls returned to the Mythical booth. They smiled at each other as Sarah walked over "Hey lets go back to the hotel and hang out at the pool". Vid con was winding down and they had already finished their last meet and greets at the summer games merch booth. Everyone agreed excitedly wanting to enjoy the pool before they were to fly back to LA later that night.

As the group walked to the van Damien smiled gently taking Crickets hand in his gently intertwining their fingers. She smiled at his loving gesture as Shayne and Ian walked behind them humming Can you feel the love tonight. Once in the van everyone chatted as Cricket caught up on some missed texts between her and Travis, sighing softly. He was helping her look for Apartments since Aria would be moving in soon before the wedding and Cricket expressed, she didn't want to be in the way and she hadn't mentioned anything to Damien yet since it had just been brought up while she was in Seattle before Vid Con . She sighed softly as Damien looked over not trying to be noisy "You okay?", he asked giving her his attention. She smiled a little "Yeah, Travis found an apartment for me to look at. I'm thinking it's time for me to spread my wings since Aria will be moving in before the wedding and I just don't want to be in the way", she explained as Damien nodded. He was planning on moving himself. Suddenly an Idea came into his head "I've been thinking of moving myself, I know this sounds completely crazy but maybe we could look for a place together?". Cricket bit her lip not sure what to say. Of course, the idea scared her, she had never lived with her a boyfriend before and she had never gotten the chance in her previous relationship. But her relationship with Damien was so different. Damien panicked seeing how quiet Cricket got knowing she was processing what he had just said. It was a huge step. When they got back to the hotel Cricket was still in shock and didn't say anything yet.
