so i found a flight to
Los Angeles that leaves tomorrow morning that isn't terribly expensive
but by tomorrow morning i mean...1am
and it's 7 - almost 8pm - right now
i should probably leave to the airport in two hours
i wanna go to Los Angeles because
i want to see my best friend, Michael
my best friend of... 4 years
from the dangerous years of 16
to the sunrise of adulthood
whether in person or a text message away,
he's... he's always been there.
and i haven't seen him in five months
so... i think it's about time for a visit
..oh no, my flight is in two hours..
you know, things weren't always perfect between us
sometimes we fought,
sometimes we argued,
sometimes we threw knives at each other's throats
i mean, after living with each other for half a year
these mishaps were unavoidable
and maybe reality wasn't ready for us at the time
yes, mikey is a real person
yes, i am a real person as well
...and i think we finally realised that
yeah, through our hardships and through our trials
the friendship lives on
even though now he has a lot more subscribers than me
i will catch up, michael. D:
the day i told him that i was leaving LA, he really didn't even question it
"go for it, luke!" he said
"go do what you want to do."
yeah, maybe it's not really the emotional response the luke and mikey friendship fanatics might crave
he knew what i wanted to do
he knew my intentions
and that was very powerful and meaningful to me
and that right there is reason enough to fly
four and a half thousand miles for a visit
it's 11:30 in the afternoon
and i'm in Los Angeles, California
*piano music plays while luke nearly misses his bag*
for some reason i'm having a lot of trouble
wrapping my head around the fact that
i'm in Los Angeles right now
none of my friends know I'm here -
- mikey certainly doesn't know i'm here
so... i just realised that i never even contacted anyone to pick me up from the airport
not my smartest move in the world
hey, surprise. i'm in LA
can you come pick me up from the airport?
...can i use your shower?
"hey buddy! good to see you!"
dude, thanks for picking me up, bro
"no problem, bro"
so i made it to mikey's apartment complex
and uh... i'm here.
and to tell you the truth, what i'm feeling right now
i'm feeling a little nervous
i just, i've never come this way just to surprise someone before and
i've no idea how he's gonna react
what he's gonna do, what he's gonna think
i'm a little bit anxious
to see what's gonna happen
"hey" "hey, dude. what's up?"
"not too much"
"whatcha up to?"
i don't know, i just wanted to call you and say 'what's up'
are you at home right now?
"yeah"
"dude i miss you"
"i miss you too"
"its been way too long, it would've been five months now"
it's been five months
dude, i'll come to LA as soon as i can, i just
i don't know
its hard
and i really, really want to come back to LA
and i...
i think i'm gonna do it
"let me know and you can stay with us"
"really, i can stay with you?"
"yeah, of course"
it'll be soon, i promise
like, sooner than you ever expect (cheeky luke)
*cute lil giggle* "alright"
so i'm in the apartment complex and mikey's roommate
just texted me and he's gonna
come and get me and we're gonna do it
"hello, dude. nice to meet you formally"
nice to finally meet you
"let's do this thing"
dude, i'm... i'm nervous
"i'm nervous too, dude"
does he have any idea?
"no, no i don't think so."
"deep breaths"
hey dude, what's up?
i haven't seen you in a couple months
"i don't know how he's gonna react, man, he's gonna be shocked"
"oh, this is gonna be so weeeird"
ahhhh
i don't know what to do, i didn't plan this fully enough
this is it
wa-wa-wait
alright, alright
*sighs* "you ready?"
no but, yeah
"dude, look at this package"
"...no..."
*luke chuckles*
"I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FIVE MONTHS!"
i know, how're you?
"dudeeee"
we're reunited guys
we're reunited finally
"LUKE'S HERE"
*grrrr*
dudeeeeee
mikey and luke are finally reunited
"weird... he's here!"
after 24 hours of travelling
*hair flip*
i surprised this guy
"okay, ready, 1, 2, 3" 3, 2, 1
*lil jump*
*cute laughs*
*claps* WOOOO
I DID IT!!!
