3. Hyde Park With Friends

*Casey's P.O.V*

It was now the day after the launch party and I didn't end up getting up until about 11 am. In my defence, we didn't get in until well after midnight last night. Anyway, I got up and went into the ensuite bathroom of my hotel room, where I had a brisk shower before going back into my room to get dressed. I decided to wear a light pink alien crop top, denim high-waisted shorts with various rips in them and my bright yellow Adventure Time Dr Martens which had Jake the Dog's face on. Even though it was September, it looked cloudy and a bit chilly outside to I also put on my black varsity jacket. I put my hair in a high ponytail and slipped a simple black tattoo choker around my neck, as well as my Alice In Wonderland bracelet set around my wrist. I kept my makeup to a subtle minimum, which was the last step to getting ready. I then snapped a panda case onto my phone and grabbed my black leather backpack before I was ready to take on the day.

I checked the time and sighed in relief when I realised it was now only 11:40. I was meeting up with Dan and Phil in Hyde Park at 1, so I still had some time to chill before then. I decided to spend the next hour and twenty minutes with my sister, so I texted Zoe to ask if it was okay for me to go over to her room and she said yes so I left my own hotel room.

"Casey!" Zoe grinned as I walked into her room. Alfie was obviously there too, as well as Poppy and Sean.

"Hey." I giggled, walking over to where Alfie was sat at the little circular table in the corner of the room and stealing a piece of chicken off his plate of food, which I assumed he got from room service.

"Oi!" He whined. I just laughed and sat in the other chair at the table. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I took it out, smiling when I saw Dan had texted me.

From: Danyul 😎👽😂💕

Hey, we still on for this aft? xx

To: Danyul 😎👽😂💕

Loving the slang Daniel 😂😉 and yeah course xx

From: Danyul 😎👽😂💕

I'm just down with the kids yanno 😏😎✌🏼🤙🏼

I couldn't help but laugh, earning some looks from my sister and friends.

"What's so funny?" Sean asked.

"Nothing." I replied, still smiling at my phone.

"She's probably texting Dan." Zoe smirked.

"Dan isn't the only thing that makes me laugh, Zoe." I defended myself.

"Is it Dan, though?" She asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"Maybe." I mumbled, "But-"

"Thank you, that's all I needed to hear." She cut me off and I glared at her. She just stuck her tongue at me and I laughed as my phone pinged with another text from Dan.

From:Danyul 😎👽😂💕

Oh btw Phil invited Joe to hang out with us today, is that ok? xx

To:Danyul 😎👽😂💕

Dan he's my brother remember? 😂 of course it's ok xx

I was actually pleased that Joe was tagging along. It would give me a chance to talk to him about something that's been on my mind for a while now. And no, I'm not telling you guys what it is, you'll have to read on and find out when I talk to Joe.

"Hey, have you lot got anything planned for today?" I spoke up. If Joe was going then I thought I might as well ask if Zoe, Alfie, Poppy and Sean wanted to go as well and we could make a proper friends day out.

"Don't think so, why?" Poppy answered.

"I'm meeting up with Dan and Phil later and Joe's coming so I wondered if you guys wanted to come too?" I proposed.

"What, and ruin you and Dan's alone time?" Zoe teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

"We were never going alone in first place." I said, rolling my eyes, "Do you want to come or not?" They all said yes and so I quickly texted Dan to make sure it was alright if they all came as well. Luckily, Dan replied instantly saying it was fine.

So, we stayed in Zoe and Alfie's room for a while longer before it got to about 12:45 and we left the hotel. We got the tube to Hyde Park and soon found Dan, Phil and Joe waiting for us.

"Those are the coolest shoes I've ever seen." Dan told me after we all greeted each other.

"I thought you'd like them." I giggled, seeing as Dan was actually the one who got me interested in Adventure Time.

"I need a pair, then we can be matching." He grinned.

"And why exactly would I want to match with you?" I smirked, folding my arms.

"Um, because I'm awesome? Do I need to remind you of the cool slang I used in my text earlier?"

"Oh yes, how could I forget." I laughed and so did Dan.

"So, are we actually gonna do anything or are we just gonna stand around and watch you two flirt with each other?" Joe asked me and Dan, making the two of us blush.

"Shut up, Joe." I told my brother, who just laughed. I gave Dan an apologetic look on behalf of my brother and he just shrugged it off, luckily. The eight of us began walking around the park, talking, laughing and just hanging out like ordinary friends, until we passed an ice cream truck and I gasped in excitement.

"Can we get ice cream?! Please?!" I begged.

"Okay, I know you're the youngest out of us all, but really, Case?" Zoe asked as everyone laughed at my immaturity.

"Hey, you're never too old for ice cream." I defended, earning more chuckles. We did end up getting ice cream and then, because I'm so grown up, I managed to convince everyone to go to the playground.

"Dan, push me!" I demanded, sitting down on one of the swings, ice cream in hand. Zoe, Alfie, Poppy and Sean were on the roundabout and Phil and Joe were sitting on the bench, on their phones because they're party poopers.

"You're such a child." Dan laughed, walking over, "I mean, you're the right size, so it makes sense. Actually, no, I think a lot of children are probably taller than you." He teased, before he snatched my ice cream from my hand and held his arm up.

"Dan!" I whined, getting up from the swing and jumping to try and get my ice cream back.

"Casey!" He mimicked me, struggling to contain his laughter.

"Give it back!"

"You have to get it back yourself." He smirked.

"Fine, I will. But you asked for it." It was now my turn to smirk and Dan gave me a confused look before my fingers found his ribcage and I began tickling him. He let out an adorable laugh as he lowered his arms and I took my ice cream.

"Thank you." I sang, the smirk never leaving my face.

"That's not fair!" He pouted.

"No, what's not fair is you using my shortness against me." I replied, glaring up at him.

"Oh, come on! It's cute, you're like a little fairy." He laughed. I blushed at him calling me cute and felt butterflies fill my stomach.

"A fairy? Really, Dan?" I let out an amused chuckle, hoping he wouldn't notice the colour of my cheeks. He simply nodded, a grin on his face.

"Alright, well, if I'm a fairy, then you can be a goblin." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Hey, I am not a goblin!" He whined, making me giggle. Both of our phones then pinged at the exact same time and we shared a curious look as we took them out of our pockets, only to find that Zoe had tagged us in a video on Instagram. We went to Instagram and saw that Zoe had been filming me and Dan for the last five minutes. She'd caption the video with 'Aren't they just the cutest couple? 😊💕' so of course, the comments were full of people from the Phandom, demanding to know more about mine and Dan's "relationship". I looked over at the roundabout and saw Zoe smirking at Dan and I.

"Really, Zoe?" I groaned and she just laughed. I rolled my eyes before leaving my own comment.

@CaseyBeccaSugg: relax guys, me and @danisnotonfire aren't dating, we're just great friends. thanks zoe 😒😛

Zoe replied to my comment instantly with a sarcastic "you're welcome 🙂" and I glared over at her, only making her laugh.

We soon got bored of the playground so we all left and ended up just taking a nice walk around Hyde Park. Joe and I ended up walking together at the back of the group and I decided now would be a good time to talk to him, as everyone else was too deep in conversation amongst each other to hear what I had to say.

"Hey, Joe?" I asked, getting my brother's attention.

"Yeah, Case?" He replied.

"I need to talk to you. I've been thinking about this for quite some time now but I haven't mentioned it to anyone yet. I figured you'd be the best person to get advice and stuff from."

"Okay, spit it out, then." He urged me with a laughed.

"Alright, well, I've kinda been thinking about moving out here, to London." I told him and smiled when his face lit up.

"Seriously?!"

"Yeah, does that sound crazy?"

"Yes, but for all the right reasons." He said and I giggled, "This is honestly amazing, Case. What made you make a decision like that?"

"I don't know, I mean, I've been wanting to move out soon anyway and I've always loved London. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet and I feel like it'll be easier for me to decide if I'm away from home, away from Mum and Dad who I love dearly, but they're constantly nagging me about going to uni, which I don't even know if I want to do yet, or to get a job. It's just difficult trying to find out who I am when they're always breathing down my neck, you know?" I explained.

"I totally get what you mean." Joe nodded, "And whenever you do move out here, feel free to stay with Caspar and I until you find your feet."

"You'd really do that for me?" I asked.

"Of course I would. You're my baby sister, I'm not going to let you live on the streets until you find a place of your own. Plus, I'd love having you around more often."

"You're the best." I smiled.

"I know." Joe grinned and I giggled before we both picked up our speed and caught up with everyone else.
