As unexpectedly as it started, the roadtrip was coming to an end. I've probably never listened to roadtrip as many times in one week than this one. However, it was a lot of fun and a great way to spend one of my last weeks of summer break.

Speaking of which, next week is the last week I have with my freedom. Throughout the trip, I was able to get some clothes and stuff from different states for school.

But lets not think about that now, I still have a whole week and anything could happen.

Me and the boys walked down the airport, suitcases in hand

"A lot of money well spent" Clay said happily

"Except for that one $80 mac n cheese that tasted like shit" I remind him

We chuckle and silently reminisce on our short and exciting trip

"I am fucking exhausted" Sapnap breaks the silence

"Agreed" I breathe out in tiredness

"Lets sit here and wait for the plane to be called. I'm gonna go take a piss" Clay says, running off towards the bathroom

Me, George, and Sapnap plop down onto the George. Most of the seats were already filled, I guess a lot of people wanna go to Flordia.

Just as I was getting comfortable, an older lady starts walking around, seemingly looking for a place to seat.

I groggily get up and go towards her

"You can take my seat, it's no troubles for me" I say, trying to sound kind and not like I secretly really wanted that chair

"Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it" She responds, going sit next to Sapnap

I go lean against a pillar near, having some sort of relief on my feet

After about 2 minutes of standing and debating wether of not I should've given up my seat or not, Clay shoves me from behind and I hear a "Boo!"

I jump at the sudden contact, slightly squealing, and angrily turn around to confront him

"Clay you fucking bitch you scared the cra-" I cut myself off

Instead of seeing my green eyed dumbass brother..

I see a different tall white boy

My emerald eyes stare into the boy's familiar bluish grey eyes in astonishment

"JAXON??" I yell out a bit to loudly

"Hey there, Willow" He responds with a smirk

I wrap my arms around him as tightly as I possibly can, my eyes slightly tearing up in pure ecstasy

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I ask, my face still buried in his hoodie

"Welll, it's your last week of summer break, I was legally obligated to spend it with you" He chuckles

After a solid minute or 2, I let go from the hug. A tear slips down my cheek, one filled with happiness

"You jackass, one of these days I'm gonna have to surprise you" I say, sniffing every once in a while

He chuckles and I turn around to see Sapnap, George, and Clay. And I realized that Clay had his phone in his hand, most likely recording

"Are you recording?? God I hate all of you" I roll my eyes

"If you hate me so much then why are you crying?" Jaxon teases

I sigh "Touché, bitch"

And with that we begin our walk towards the plane. As we made our way, I showed Jaxon some of the photos we took that I didn't send him, of which lasted even as we got on the plane.

Unsurprisingly, our seats were right next to each other. And thank goodness I downloaded some movies on my laptop or we'd be bored to death.

We watched movies, listened to music, and caught up with each other until eventually we made it back to Florida

"Ah yes, back home" I say as we walk to the car, luggage in hand

"We came back home with a whole other person" George jokes

The car ride was filled with small silences, random ass jokes and references, and music. It honestly, felt oddly nostalgic. Perhaps it reminded me of the first time we met up. Memories flooded my mind from the last time he was here.

That reminds me

I still have a crush on him

My once large grin faltered at the thought of constantly getting butterflies while he's around. What if we almost kiss again? Or if we..actually kiss..

I cant get my hopes up.

Focus on the fact that your best friend is here, not on kissing him, Willow

Soon enough, we get to our house

"Did I ever give you a tour of the house when you were here last time?" I ask as we enter the front door

"I don't think so, no"

"Alright well this is the living room, obviously. Over there is the kitchen and that glass door is to the backyard" I explain, pointing at different places in the house

"Down this hallway" I walk towards said hallway "Is Sap's room, George's room, the guest room, and the bathroom"

I open the door to the guest bedroom so he could put his stuff down

"Ahhh this bed looks so comfortable, can't wait to crash later on" He says after putting his suitcase down to the side

"Yeahh, I think I've only been in here like once or twice honestly" I chuckle "Oh, you, George, and Sapnap all share a bathroom. Good luck with that"

"I'm sure that'll be just fantastic" He responds sarcastically

Silence fills the room for a couple seconds and I yawn "Soooo, do you wanna do anything or just go to bed?"

"You're obviously tired, you should go to sleep" He says, standing up from the bed

"What're you talking about? I yawned once, I'm that tired" I shrug it off

"Willow, we've known each other for months. I know when you're tired" He stares into my eyes

"Touché genderman" I smirk "If you need anything, just text or knock on my door upstairs. You know where it is, right?"

"Yep! Sleep well, Willow. Goodnight" He says with a smile

I smile back "Goodnight, Jaxon. Sweet dreams"

Feeling oddly like a mom who just told their son goodnight, I close the door and walk towards the staircase.

The smile still displaying in my face, I open my bedroom door and plop onto my bed in exhaustion from the day. I turn on my leds and snuggle into my blanket, ignoring the fact I didn't change into something more comfortable. I was too tired for that.

I can't believe he's here again. This is gonna be the best last week of summer break.

Oh shit

Wait

How could I forget?

I still have a huge crush on him..

——————————————————-

Ranboo POV

I was watching The Office and scrolling through my phone. I woke up about 15 minutes ago and it was currently 11:34am

I heard someone coming down the stairs and I looked over to see Willow. They were wearing the same hoodie as yesterday and her hair was slightly messed up

Heh, cute

Nope

Now is not the time to be stuck on the fact that you have a crush on them

"Morning, Will" I say happily

"Morning Jax" She responds, walking over to the sofa I was lying on

I scrunched my legs up so she could sit

"Ooooo I love this episode" They said, sitting where my legs once were

After about 2 episodes of The Office, of which were filled with me and Willow making references, she stood up

"I'm gonna make breakfast. D'ya like pancakes or waffles better? There's only one answer"

"Pancakes?" I answer, more so as a question

"You've answered correctly. Question 2" They begin before I cut them off

"What is this? 20 questions?" I joke

"I need to figure out your breakfast opinions to know if I have to kick you out or not. Now, orange juice or apple juice?"

"Orange juice?"

"Incorrect. That's it, meetup over. Get out if my house" She points towards the door

"Woah woah woah, maybe we can come to some sort of agreement here?" I put my hands up in defense, standing form the couch

"What is your proposition?" She asks with her arm's crossed

"What if I help you cook breakfast and the meetup can last at least one day?"

"Hmmmm" They make a thinking expression "I suppose that could work out"

We chuckle and begin working on breakfast

*Time skip brought to you by Mark Nathaniel Ranboo*

Willow POV

Now was the time

We were gonna announce to our friends that we had met up

"I seriously can't believe you've told no one that you're in a different fucking state" I say in disbelief

"In my defense, I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone"

"Yeah, yeah. Should we do Toby first?" I suggest

"Sure, I'll get my laptop. I have an idea" He says, grabbing his laptop

I take his phone and call Tubbo

"Hello Ranboo" Tubbo answers the call

"Hello, Toby" A robot voice from Ranboo's computer says

I look up at him and try not to snicker

"Uhmmm, since when do you sound like a robot?"

"How are you doing?" The robot reads again

"I'm good? How are you Mr. Robot?" He asks

I grab the laptop and type in "I'm a robot, I don't have feelings jackass"

"WOAHHHH WHAT?? RANBOO? CURSING?" He yells

I bring my hand up to my mouth in shock of realizing that Ranboo doesn't curse

I quickly start typing again to explain myself "I, Mr. Robot, said it. Not Ranboo"

"Well that makes sense"

"Are you streaming?" Ranboo types in

"Yes, I am Mr. Robot"

Ranboo begins typing again making the text to speech say "Mute so the stream can't hear me. It's important"

"Well, alright. You heard Mr. Robot, chat" Tubbo says, supposedly muting us

"What's up, boss man?"

"Look at discord, but don't show it in stream" I make the robot say

"Okay?" He says, skeptical

I get the phone and turn on the camera to make him see me and Ranboo. On my phone I had his stream pulled up so we could see his face

"HOLY SHIT, WHAT??" He yells, jumping on top of his chair

Me and Ranboo burst out in laughter

"I picked him up on the side of the road" I joke

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU TWO WERE MEETING UP" He says, still on his chair, making chat question many things

"HE SCARED ME AT THE AIRPORT, I DIDN'T KNOW" I yell back

"Holy fuck. When are you going to tell chat?" He asks, sitting normally know but still shook

"We're gonna tell all our friends first and then stream after. I think we'll do Tommy after this" Ranboo answers

"Alright well go tell Big T. I'm gonna unmute" He says

"Bye Tubbo! Have a good stream" I say before he unmutes

We leave the call and I turn off the stream in my phone. Me and Ranboo laugh to ourselves at the interaction and the confusion of chat.

"Okay, child time" I say, pulling up Tommy's name in discord to ring him

I press the button and the familiar sound fills the room

Thankfully, he answers saying "Hey Jaxon, what's up?"

"Nothin much Tommy, how're you?" Ranboo asks

"I was just watching Tubbo's stream, quite the bit you did there"

Ranboo chuckles "Yeah, I was, uh, bored"

"Nice, nice"

"Hehe, yeah I agree" I say, making my presence known

"Oh, hey Willow. Did you add them to the call, Jaxon?" He asks

"Nope" He answers plainly

"Oh, then how'd she get here?" Tommy asks again, probably not looking down to see I'm not in the call

"I have no idea. Can you scoot over a bit, Jaxon?" I say, trying to make Tommy realize we were in the same room

"Wait, WHAT?" Realization hits him, causing me and Jax to laugh

I turn on our camera to show that it was true

"WHAT THE FUCK, YOU TWO MET UP??" He yells

"No, Tommy, I'm a hologram. It's a new iphone feature" I joke

"Wait, really?" He believes it for a moment

"NO, DUMBASS, WE MET UP" I laugh out

"OHHH, IS THAT WHAT YOU TWO WERE DOING ON TOBY'S STREAM?"

"Yeah, we thought it'd be funny and we got to see his reaction" Ranboo explains

"That's so cool! Going to stream soon?" He asks

"Yep, gonna do Niki and maybe some other people and then stream" I say

"Well awesome, I won't hold you up any longer. I'll watch the stream. I think I'm gonna vc with sbi"

"Alright, cya Tommy" Ranboo says, ending the call

"Okay I have an idea for Niki" I say "You stand in the living room and when I come in, play Fallen Down or something funny"

"Ok, sounds good" He says, standing up and setting up the tv

I go into my room and act like everything is normal. I facetime Niki

"Hey Willow!" She answers

"Hiya Niki! How are you doing?" I ask, normally

"I'm good, how're you?" She asks back

"I'm great, I'm great. There's actually this weird guy in my house downstairs. We found him in the side of the road and we let him stay with us? He's really weird"

"Oh gosh, that's odd. Why would you just pick up so random guy? What's he doing?" She asks, clearly concerned

"I don't know. I'll try to see if I can go downstairs and let you see him without being caught"

I get up and begin walking down the stairs

Fallen Down starts playing from the tv and Ranboo does a t-pose next to it

"WAIT" She yells "IS THAT RANBOO??"

I laugh and shake my head yes

"Ranboo, why'd didn't you tell me you were meeting up?" She asked

"He can't hear you, I have headphones in one sec"

"Wait, in that case. Since he's down, are you gonna finally ask him out?"

"I haven't thought about that yetttttt, I mighttttt, shut upppppp" I say, trying not to sound suspicious to Ranboo

I unplug my headphones and walk over to him. Fallen Down had stopped playing

"Hey Niki!" He greets

"Hey Ranboo! I'm glad you two could meet up again, have fun!!"

"Thanks Niki, I'll talk to you later" I say before ending the call

We tell sbi, of which were very surprised, before we decide it was time to stream

"Alright. I think that I'm gonna like randomly turn off my camera and say I have to fix my mask or something and when I do that, you move" I explain

"Okay, sounds good"

"Starting now!" I say, hitting the start stream button

I had my mask and sunglasses on. The title of the stream was "SURPRISE!! FACECAM STREAM W UR FAVORITE IDIOT"

"Hello!" I greet my chat "I felt like blessing y'all with my presence so here I am"

mcyt_stan_lmao__: YOOOOOO FACECAM

minecrafter192983: FACECAM FACECAM FACECAME

karl_jacobsqwq: hello!

strawberryorbit: WE BEIN FED W CONTENT

"I think we're just gonna chat today. I'll read donos and stuff, I had absolutely no plan with this stream" I act as normal as I can

I read some donos. Answering questions, talking about random stuff.

"did you see what ranboo did on tubbo's stream earlier?" The text to speech reads

"I did, actually! I think it was really funny. Definitely not a Ranboo thing to do, so it kinda surprised me" I laugh slightly

It had been around 7 minutes without doing anything and Jaxon was just sitting behind my bed, waiting for me to give a cue that I'm turning my camera off so I decided to do something

"One sec chat, imma turn off my camera for a second I needa fix my mask"

I hear rustling behind me. I had no idea what he was gonna do, so I guess I'd find out when chat starts spamming something. After the noise seems to calm down, I turn my camera back on.

"Alright, back to donos" I act like nothing has happened

Brumin: WHAT IS THAT

BP98208: THERES SOMEONE IN YOUR BED

sadistsimp: KEKW

slylitdreamer: SOMETHING IN YOUR BEDDDDDD

asexually_living: IS THAT DREAM IN THEIR BED

"There's something in my bed? Chat, are you okay?" I turn around to see that Jaxon was indeed under the covers of my bed

"That's just a pillow chat, calm down" I brush it off

Another 3 minutes pass and chat was still spamming

"Y'know what chat? Fine, I'll get up and go check since you won't shut the fuck up" I say, fake angry

I turn off my camera and stand up. Jaxon notices, getting up and crouching on the floor behind my bed again. I pick up a pillow and hit him with it, just for fun. We both tried not to laugh

"Nothing here, chat!" I say, still trying not to laugh but thankfully covering it up well

I go back and sit in my chair, turning my camera back on

"I told you guys, there's nothing there"

Lookin at my other monitor, I see that Jaxon has stood up and was fake admiring my plants now. Chat was going bezerk at this point, they were recognizing the fact that it looked like Ranboo. He went around my room just looking at random things for the next 6 minutes, according to my chat at least.

Finally, I thought it was time to have my last camera cut out

"One second chat, my glasses are getting fogged up" I turn off my cam

I look back at Jaxon, both of us really trying not to laugh. He walks over to me and puts his arms hovering around my head

Turning my camera back on, I try to stay in character. A few giggles got out as I began talking to my chat again

"What we're we talking about again, chat?" I try not to laugh so hard

Suddenly, I feel his hands wrap around me and my chair. He slowly pulls me out of camera view and burst out in laughter.

"Wait, wait, lets switch masks and glasses and I'll act like I'm you for a bit" Ranboo whispers

I take off my mask and glasses, he does the same, and we switch. He rolls back over in my chair

"Hey guys, it's me, Skylitdreamer! The very short streamer that you have been watching this whole time! Yep, it's me!" He says

I run over and pull out the chair that was meant to be used for him

"And I'm Ranboo! The tall ass streamer that scared that shit out of Sky at the airport and proceeded to come home with them!" I joke around too

"Oh hi, Ranboo, what are you doing here? I have been streaming this whole time doing absolutely nothing suspicious"

"Well, Sky, I thought I should crash your stream because why the fuck not"

"Woah, Ranboo, since when do you curse??" He asks, still acting as me

"I've always cursed. Chat's ears just don't pick it up, it's crazy. Fuck, shit, bitch, ass, pussy, cock, bastard"

We look at each other for a couple seconds before bursting out in laughter

God, I missed this..
