I walked out the bathroom from just taking a shower. From the long day at the beach, I was exhausted.

"Soooooo, Willow" Niki says as I plop down in my bed

"Hmm?" I hun in response

"What were you and Jax doing~?" She says, with mischief in her voice

"We were just eating ice cream" I respond blankly, not understanding what she was getting at yet

"Yeah but you guys were quite....close, don't ya think?"

I instantly blush slightly

"H-he was just warming me up Niki" I say, looking over at her smirk

"That's exactly what someone from a movie would say who's completely oblivious of their love"

My eyes widen at her choice of words

"LOVE??" I yell, maybe a bit too loudly, and sit up quickly "Niki, I don't even Jaxon, much less him"

"C'monnnnn Willow! You guys talk all the time, you're always hanging out, and I see it when you guys stare at each other just a bit too long. Hell, you guys are married!" She says, like she knows exactly what she's talking about

"He's also married to Toby, that marriage is just a big joke" I say with an eye roll

"You don't even like him a little bit?" She asks as she sits on my bed next to me

"No, Niki. I hate crushes and I don't like having them. I certainly don't have a crush in my best friend. Now can you please stop?" I say with an exhausted face and a slight whine in my voice

She gives me a saddened look "Alright, alright..." She stands up from my bed and heads to her own "But I'm not giving up and y'all"

"Yeah, yeah" I turn off my lamp and she does the same "Goodnight, Niki"

"Night, Low"

3:17 my phone clock read

We were all trying to find out what to do. We were all super exhausted from the beach yesterday, so we wanted to wait a day or 2 before going back. Plus, we wanted to cram as many different things to do as possible.

We were sprawled out across the living room, scrolling through different places and ideas of things to do.

Until suddenly Clay gasps

"What if we went to the skating ring?"

All of our faces lit up as the awesome idea was suggested

"Totally! I love skating!" Toby says

We all seemed agree on going skating. So we went in the same car groups yesterday, which Tommy was certainly not happy about, and we were on our way.

We all walked in together, looking across the somewhat old-timey skating ring

"There's an arcade!" Tommy yells, as that is the first thing that catches his eye

He looks over towards Wilbur with a knowing look

"No, no!" Wilbur yells back "No vlog gun!"

"Wilbur, pleaseeeee" Tommy pleads like a 5 year old asking for ice cream

"We can here to skate, Tommy! You can't go until 5pm" Wilbur says, like the big brother he is

"But that's like an hour from nowwwww" Tommy whines and walks over to the skates to put some on, Toby following him close behind

"Keep an eye on him, Skyboo" Wilbur says to me and Jax

I groan at the name but give him a sarcastic thumbs up

"If you keep loosing that nickname I might sneak him into the arcade" I mumble as me and Jax walk over to the skates

I sit down on the bench as I put the shoes with wheels on

"Have you ever skated?" Ranboo asks me

"I've done it like once? It was at a friend's house and I barley did anything. Plus, they didn't fit. You?"

"I do it every now in then when I'm bored" He says, lacing his skates

"I do it all the time with Lani" Tubbo says

"I've done it like twice" Tommy says and stands up with his skates on, seeming kinda unbalanced but he hadn't fallen over

I then proceed to stand up, but immediately loose my balance. I grab onto the closest thing for balance, which just so happened to be Jaxon.

"You good?" He says, holding my arm up

My stomach swarms with butterflies with the contact

Jesus, I'm so touch starved-

"Y-yeah I'm good. I just don't really have balance" I say, trying to straighten myself out

"Here, I can help" He gets a stronger grip on my arm, making it easier for me to stand up straight

I hear snickering form behind me, but I pay not attention to it, trying to focus on standing

We slowly make our way to the ring

George seemed to have the same problem as me, except Clay being the one to help him.

"Looks like we are gonna get some dreamnotfound today" Tubbo says

We all laugh and begin going around the ring. With Jaxon helping me, I was getting the hang of skating

"You got it!" He yells as I begin skating at an average level, but it was good enough

"Yes! Success!" I yell with my arms in the air

Soon enough Tommy rolled near the 2 of us, along with Tubbo

"You guys are shit at skating" Tommy says

"Like you're any better!" Tubbo says in defense

"Didn't you say that this is like your 3rd time skating?" Ranboo asks

I just look at Tommy with a blank stare

"Are you gonna say anything or just stare at me..?"

And then I push him and he falls flat on his ass

I skate away as I hear him screaming and cursing at me, and once I'm far enough away to where he can't see me I burst out laughing.

They eventually all skate over to me. Ranboo, Tubbo, and I all still dying of laughter. After a while, and a lot of angry silence from Tommy, we're just skating around in comfortable silence

"Skyyyy, what time is it?" Tommy asks with a small whine

I get out my phone and read the time "6:25"

"WHOT?" He yells, making me slightly jump "WE COULV'E GONE TO THE ARCADE AN HOUR AGO"

"Well then let's go!" Tubbo says

We take off our skates and tell the adults that we're going to the arcade. When we enter I look across at all the different lights and games.

"Alright, we need as much tickets as possible. Let's split up, let's go Tubbo" Tommy says, dragging Tubbo away before we can say anything

I look over at Ranboo

Well, Niki wasn't wrong when she said that we were always together..

"Basketball?" I suggest with a raised eyebrow

"You're on" He responds with a smirk

Even though we weren't playing actual basketball, Ranboo still won thanks to his abnormal tallness

"Hah! I knew I'd win, shorty" He says as we gather our tickets

I burst out in laughter "DID YOU JUST CALL ME SHAWTY??"

"WOAH WOAH WOAH, I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY-" He says, also beginning to laugh

We play a couple more games. From rigged claw machines (which I happened to win a bee plush from) to ice hockey, we had played all the most interesting games and had a load of tickets.

"Any more games we should play?" Jaxon asks, putting the latest game's wins in the pocket of his Hawaiian shirt

That's when we both look at one of the only games that we hadn't played yet. We look at it, then look back at each other and nod.

We run over to the dance dance revolution game, knowing we were gonna do great due to our overpowered dancing skills.

"We need a username, any suggestions?" I ask as we put in some tokens

"Hmm, I have an idea" He says, typing in a username

Skyboo

I looked it it with a slightly shocked face which turned into a stupid smile

"I hate you" I say as I prepare myself to dance

"Keep telling yourself that" He says as he does the same

The game begins and we both smile as we quickly move or feet

Leaderboard:

#1: Skyboo

#2: Avery

#3: Urmom

"We're...the best....on the....leaderboard!!" I say, out of breath

"Woooo!" Jaxon says, also out of breath

We turn around to see Tommy and Tubbo, handful of tickets and Tubbo with his phone out

"Is this like the fuckin Kissing Booth scene?" Tommy asks

I gag "Eugh, no Tommy. I hate that movie. And Tubbo, delete that"

"I've never seen it" Jaxon says

"We should watch it!" Tubbo says, as he tries for me not to grab his phone

"No, we should not!" I yell as I try to get his phone to delete the video

"Look, you're number one on the lead-" Tubbo says before he gets cut off

"Why is your name Skyboo? Is that a ship name?" Tommy asks

"No, Tommy. Wilbur just keeps using it and Ranboo put it as our username to piss me off" I say with an irritated voice

"Let's go buy a vlog gun!" Ranboo says, changing the subject

We make our way to the gift shop to exchange out tickets for prizes

We got 4 vlog guns, a slinky, and some candy. We have some left over but we can't decide what to do with it so we just leave them for later.

"I'll, uh, I'll meet up with in a sec" Ranboo says as we leave the arcade to go back to skating

We respond with a small "Alright" and I get my phone out and put my skates back on

"Hey guys, we have like 2 hours left here. It closes at midnight" Clay says

"Alright sounds good" I say

There was us, 2 people that seemed to be a couple, and a feminine looking person skating by themselves.

I put my mask and sunglasses on

"Why do you have on your things for streaming?" Tubbo asks

"I'm gonna take some videos for my tiktok" I say happily

I choose the Worldstar Money by Joji sound in tiktok and begin recording my face and do a peace sign

I then point the camera down at my skates, right when Ranboo joins and I pointi it to both of our feet. Then I show George and Sapnap, as well as Niki and Wilbur at different points of the video.

I end the tiktok with my phone in the ground and I crouch down, doing 2 more peace signs for it

"That'll be a good tiktok" Ranboo says "I just post random videos"

"Yeah, but I like your vibe. You go more for funny, I like to go more for just chill" I say as I type in the description for the tiktok

"Hello everyone! It's 8pm! That means, you can suggest songs for us to play in the ring tonight! Please put the song, the artist, and a name to go by! You can also give a dedication if you'd like" The somewhat dj says into the microphone

Me, Jax, Tubbo, and Tommy look at each other

"You know what I'm thinkin?" I say with a smirk, taking off my mask and sunglasses

"I think I do" Jax responds as Tubbo and Tommy make their way over

We skate over to the dj and put in a song, happily we were the first people to put one in so our song would go on first

I quickly take my phone out again to get it in video, but not on tiktok. Maybe I'd post it there later

"This song is requested by The Minor Crew dedicated to dream not found?" The announcer says, question the dedication

I look over and point my phone to George and Clay, who happened to be skating together. Me and Ranboo snicker as they realize what the song is.

The beginning beats of Heat Waves boom throughout the whole skating ring

Everyone in our group begins dying of laughter, Tommy being the loudest

They both flip us off and we skate by them

"Aww you both flipped us off at the same time!" Ranboo says

"Couple goals!" I continue

"Aww, you finished each other's sentence. Couple goals!" Clay responds and he promptly skates away as I shake my head

He goes over to the sign up sheet, supposedly to suggest a song

"This song is requested by Dream and dedicated to Tommyinnit" The announcer says, confusion evident in his voice from the odd names

"Aye, aye, aye" The song begins and we hear 2 claps "I got a condo in Manhattan"

We look over at Tommy who is just completely disappointed as That's What I Like plays

As the chorus comes on all of us, and I mean all of us with an exception of Phil and Techno, do the small gestures that he does in his infamous video.

The rest of the time we're skating is filled with small joking songs, and then some actually songs. Leaving some for the couple, who by now is gone, and the person skating alone who did a few banger songs.

Me, Ranboo, and Tubbo were skating together when the person accidentally runs into Tubbo

"Oh, sorry I'm kinda new to skating. I came here to learn, actually" They apologize

"No, don't worry about it! It's alright" Tubbo says both nicely and nervously "I just wanted to say, your music taste is very cool"

"Oh, thank you! I'm Autumn by the way" They say, with their hand stretched out for a handshake. They were incredibly pretty, I can't lie

Tubbo shakes their hand "I'm Toby"

"And you 2 are...?" They ask, referring to me and Ranboo

I contemplate saying my real name, and decide it's fine since they probably don't know that we're streamers

"Willow, nice to meet you!" I say

"I'm Jaxon"

"Awesome!" They say

"Real quick, what's your pronouns?" I ask

"Oh! Someone hasn't actually asked me that before...She/they!" They respond happily

"Nice! Same here" I say

"Me and Jaxon are both he/him" Toby answers for Ranboo

"I actually have to go, it's getting late and my mother might be mad. It was nice meeting you!"

"You too!" I say

She begins to wander off, as Toby goes over to them and says something. He soon enough returns

"I got her number" He says, giddily

"Pog! Tubbo gettin all the women and people" I say happily

"Alright gang! It's almost midnight, let's head out!" Clay says and we all begin to file out

As I unlace my shoes I look over at Toby who looks very happy and proud of himself.

I look over at Tommy who's also smiling after Toby tells him about his new friend.

And finally, I look over at Jaxon who's just smiling. Doesn't seem to be a specific reason why, but it makes me smile too.

I'm so glad my friends are happy..
