I opened my eyes slowly as I stretched out my arms. I smiled and looked around the room. It was different than the room I'd slept in just a week ago. This bedroom is in my new apartment, which Alex and I share. Alex and I now live together. My smile grew wider as I looked over to Alex who was still sleeping soundly beside me. 

  It's an odd thought, that. I smile just thinking about it. It's a commitment, living together.  By doing this, we're basically saying, "Hey, I like you enough to clean up after you and deal with your gross/ weird habits". And we both have plenty of gross habits, believe me.

  I broke myself from my thoughts so I could get ready. I got out of bed quietly, so as not to disturb Alex, and walked over to the closet. I grabbed a grey skater dress, some tights, and some, ahem, undergarments. I set them on the edge of the bed. I went into the hall and grabbed a towel from the closet. I went into the bathroom, undressed, and got into the shower, tossing my pajamas into the hamper before doing so. As soon as I turned the shower on, I realized I'd forgotten something very important.

"Crap, my clothes," I muttered to myself. Oh well, It'll be fine, I'm sure.

  I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around myself. I blow dried my hair before walking back into the bedroom where Alex was still sleeping, lightly snoring. I grabbed the clothes and, being too lazy to walk back to the bathroom, began to put on my understuffs right where I stood. The task went with great difficulty as I was also trying to keep the towel over myself. I know he's  sleeping but there's always that chance. Don't question me, I'm weird about this kinda stuff, alright? And I did mention the 'weird habits' earlier...

  I finally managed to put those things on and started to put on the dress. This I care a little less about as I'm not completely nude so I didn't really care too much about the towel dropping. I sat down on the bed and began to pull on my tights on.

"Hey there," a tired voice rang out, effectively scaring me to the point I fell off the bed, my tights only covering one leg.

"Geez, Alex," I gasped, "You scared the crap out of me!"

"Sorry," he laughed, sitting up in bed and rubbing his left eye.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked after recovering from the scare. I returned to my position on the bed's edge and continued putting on the tights.

"Just long enough to see you struggle to put on tights," he chuckled.

"Hey, they're more difficult than they look," I defended. I went over and sat next to him on the bed. "I'd like to see you try and get a pair of these puppies over your a*s."

"Gotta be honest," he began, "I'd rather not."

"That's what I thought," I said smugly. I looked to him with a happy face and gave him a light kiss. "Good morning, my love."

"'My love'? When will the pet names stop?" he asked, lightly laughing.

"This one isn't a pet name," I smiled back. "You're my love. Got a problem with it?"

"Yes actually," he answered. "I thought I told you to stop saying you love me. Me and Ross are exclusive now so quit stalking me."

"But I can't help it!" I exclaimed, barely holding back my laughs. "You're so freaking attractive! Why do all the good ones have to be gay?"

  He burst into laughter at this, as did I.

"I love you," he said after sobering up.

"And I love you," I said, giving him a kiss. "Now then, I'm going to make breakfast so you go do whatever."

  After breakfast, we still had some time to kill before Alex went to work so we found ourselves sitting in the living room watching some random soap opera that neither of us cared about. Well Alex didn't. I started to find myself caring when it showed some lady in the hospital with her newborn baby.

"Awww," I cooed. I turned to Alex who had a bored expression on his face. "I want a baby!"

  His face changed from bored to surprised/ terrified faster than I've ever seen a human's do so.

"Wha- what?" he stammered. I gave a small giggle at his reaction.

"I want a baby!" I whined again.

"Er... um," he stammered, clearly at a loss for words. Yes, I do want to have a baby (or perhaps two... or three.. who knows?) but obviously, I don't want one right now. But let's mess with him a bit more before we tell him that, shall we?

"Why don't we have a little ginger babby crawling around right now? Now that's my question."

"For a lot of reasons," he answered anxiously. "One being we've only been together for about eight months now. Another being you don't want to have sex until marriage. And I don't really wanna talk about this question right now. It makes me kinda uncomfortable."

"You talk about doing Trott in videos that thousands of people watch and this makes you uncomfortable?"

"Well that's different, you know," he said quietly. Okay, he's getting awfully flustered. I think he's had enough.

"I'm joking," I smiled. He seemed instantly relieved. He put his hands over his face and chuckled lightly.

"Geez, Lena!" he said through his hands. He pulled them away and looked at me with his light blue eyes. "Please don't scare me like that again!"

"Oh, I will," I grinned, "because one day, we will have this conversation again. Only difference is then, it won't be joking."

  He sighed and gave me a smile. He knows I'm serious. And he's okay with it.

  We pulled up to YogTowers at about 8:30. I decided to go with him because I didn't really feel like being in the house alone. We walked into the building and made our way up to the Hat Films office where Trott and Ross were.  Speaking of Ross, I found out via Lucy that they'll be moving into the same building as Alex and I, and possibly on the same floor. What a crazy random happenstance.

"Ah there you are, mate," Trott greeted as we stepped into the office. "Lewis is calling a meeting. Everyone's to meet in the common room. And hi, Lena."

"Yeah alright, mate," Alex replied. "You guys on ahead, I'll be there in a second.

  The other two did as they were told. I went to sit on the couch and Alex sat next to me.

"I'm gonna be gone for a bit so I guess you can just chill out and play a game on my computer. Maybe fix up our Yogscast Complete base or some sh*t. I mean, someone needs to get rid of that awful limestone flooring, " he offered.

"Okay," I said. He smiled at me and walked out of the room. I instantly ran over to his computer. I booted it up and went onto Minecraft. I logged onto the Yogscast Complete server and put his character's things into a chest so I wouldn't mess anything up. I went into creative mode and went outside the base, just outside where the force field would be. Screw fixing the floors, I'm gonna build something.

  Maybe building right outside their base isn't the best idea but whatever. I'd build in Ross' nuclear village if I knew where it was. But getting lost isn't on my to do list today so they'll just have to deal. I'll probably destroy it after I'm done anyhow. If I remember...

  I spawned in some marble and nether brick and, to my surprise, was scolded for it.

<Sips_> whoa whoa there smiffy what do you think youre doing

  Oh Sips is on? Well dang, I've just upset one half of the Cheat Police.

<alsmiffy> its Lena, Sips

<Sips_> what makes you think youre above the law lena? just because youre kermit's girlfriend doesnt mean you can do whatever you want

Giving Sips_ 64 of Bucket

<alsmiffy> oh really?

<Sips_> you saw nothing i guess i can let you pass this one time

<alsmiffy> thank you, you amazing police officer you

 And so I began my building. I didn't get too far as I got bored. I got rid of what little I had made started writing a book instead. It was a small story in which a poor but happy frog meets a rich but unhappy walrus. They fall in love and the frog teaches the walrus the secrets of happiness. In the end, however, the walrus accidentally eats the frog. 

  I put Alex's stuff back into his inventory. I left the book in the hot bar, though, so they could find it easier. I logged off and made my way to the office's couch. As soon as I sat down, the trio walked into the room.

"Hey," they greeted as they walked in. They all three went to their computers and started doing something.

"Sup," I said.

"We're about to record," Trott said,"so you're gonna have to go in a different room, Lena."

"But there's people out there," I protested. Not that I have a problem with any of the Yogs. I'm actually good friends with them all but I was too lazy to get up from the all too comfortable couch.

"So?" Ross asked.

"Today's one of my anti-social days," I responded. "I'll be quiet, I swear."

"Yeah, alright," Alex agreed. "Just don't say anything, alright? Not a word."

"My lips are sealed," I smiled.

  And so they started recording Hat Corp. They were out of their bulk recordings, apparently. Oh crap, the book!

"Um what is this?" Alex said a minute or so into the recording. It was really hard to control my laughs. "'Of Frogs and Walruses'? What the f**k?"

"What are you on about, mate?" Ross asked.

"There's a book in my inventory that I have no memory of  writing," he responded. I could feel him staring at me through the green partition but I couldn't see it.

"Well go on then," Trott urged, "read it."

  Alex began to read aloud the weird love story, including the bit in the middle where the two creatures, who were quite obviously based on Trott and Alex, make out. I was biting my lip to keep from laughing throughout the whole thing.

"Okay, I did not write this," Alex said after he finished the book.

"That was quite possibly the oddest thing I've ever heard," Ross laughed. "I don't know who wrote that but I think they may need some mental help."

  Huh... I didn't think it was that odd. 

"Why, Smith? Why did you make that a thing?" Trott chuckled.

"Mate, I didn't write it!" Alex defended. I stood up and quietly walked over to where he could see me. He smiled at me and chuckled slightly. "I think Kim may've hacked us. All the more reason to nuke her. Am I right, boys?"

  The other two cheered and I made my way back to the couch, where I promptly took a nap.
