TFIL Mansion
(8 am)

3rd Person P.O.V- Elton is hopped up on one of his energy drinks, practically bouncing in the front seat of the van.

Corey- (Chuckles Softly) Taking a much needed sip of my coffee as I gaze over the map, Elton had drawn up.

Jake- We finish getting our bags in and then one by one slowly climb in and get settled, for what is sure to be a long journey.

Aaron- All of us were suffering from a mix of excitement and lack of sleep. (Yawns) Jake climbs in first, getting comfortable. Getting in next, I lay stretched out over his lap.

Jake- (Hums) Aaron ends up in my lap, adjusting myself slightly to where I'm comfortable; my fingers find his hair as I play with it.

Katrina- After Jake and Aaron get in, I climb in followed by Devon.

Devon- Cuddling up with Kat, we get settled in for the ride.

Sam- Rubbing my eyes tiredly as I climb into the van next. (Whines) "Why so early?"

Colby- (Mumbles Semi-Coherently) "Couldn't we have gone later in the afternoon?" I climb in last and shut the door, immediately sprawling out on top of Sam.

Elton- Other than myself and Corey, Katrina and Devon are the only early birds. Even though I work from home or while traveling, I'm still up early as it's a full time business. Corey, tends to get up when I do and hits his morning workout. By noon, he leaves for a few hours as he's a dance instructor. Katrina is a music artist, so she's barely home and Devon works 8am to 12pm as a breakfast server. Unlike us, the four younger boys aren't morning birds. (Smiles Brightly) "Nope, not when we have a few hours of hiking to do."

Aaron- My eyes practically spring to the size of saucers. "Wait, you actually weren't joking about that?"

Elton- (Hums) "Nope."

Jake- (Huffs and Yawns)

Katrina and Devon- (Smiles and Giggles)

Elton- Having come to a stop at a light, I glance into the rear view mirror; seeing the girls talking amongst themselves, the twins sleeping curled up on each other and Aaron sprawled out in Jakes lap. (Smiles Softly)

Corey- I take a glance into the back myself. (Hums and Smiles) "Our little family."

Elton- Reaching over and taking Corey's hand in mine as I kiss his knuckles. "We wouldn't have it any other way."

Corey- (Blushes Deeply) He makes my heart skip a couple beats. "Definitely not." The light turns green as Elton sets off towards the rising sun.
