Crystal's P.O.V (2 Years Later)

I hear my alarm go off and I groan.

"I don't want to get up!" I complain. I shut my alarm off and sit up, seeing that Mitch is not in bed. 'He must be up already.' I sit on the edge of the bed. I look over at Sassy's little tree thingy. She's asleep in the box that's attatched to it. I get up and head out of the room, only to be greeted by Cinnabun, our corgie. "Hi Cinny! What are you doing silly?" I ask her. She barks and runs in circles. I laugh. I head out into the kitchen and see Amethyst and CJ eating breakfast. "You two ready for school again?" Both of them shrug.

"Depends. I don't like learning, but I want to see my friends." CJ says. I smile.

"But you guys are also going into Middle School this year, you guys nervous?"

"Yeah, but we'll survive. I mean, what can be worse than one of us dying." Amethyst explains. She's got a good point

"You're not wrong. Anyways, where's your dad?" I ask. Amethyst nods towards the living room. I head into the living room and find Mitch passed out on the couch. Cinnabun sits down next to me and wags her tail. "Wake daddy up." I whisper. Cinnabun jumps up onto the couch and starts licking Mitch's face. He moves his head and groans.

"No, stop! I was sleeping! Why?!" He asks groggily. I smirk and cross my arms.

"Morning sleepy head." Mitch looks up at me and closes his eyes again.

"5 more minutes." He complains. Cinnabun jumps off the couch and runs into the kitchen.

"No, sorry. We have a busy day today." I explain.

"But I didn't get much sleep last night." Mitch says and sits up.

"Let me guess, Jerome was over late last night, wasn't he?" I ask. Mitch nods.

"He didn't leave until around 3:30 this morning." I frown a little.

"What the hell were you guys doing last night?" He shrugs.

"We were so into playing Black Ops that we lost track of time." He explains. I roll my eyes.

"Oh well, atleast you'll be enertaining while recording later. Everyone knows you can't think straight when you're tired." Mitch smiles.

"Yeah, there's a plus. Anyways, I should probably start getting ready." He says and gets up. He heads back into the hallway and walks into our room. We've mentioned before that we were planning on moving into a house and basically going our seperate ways, but at the same time not. I mean, we all live on the same street and we still see each other everyday. But it was getting to the point where it was crowded and we were kind of getting tired of each other a little bit, so it was a good idea for us to just move into separate houses. Our house is just a one story house, so it's still weird not going upstairs when we want to record a irl video because we don't have a loft. Also, you might be wondering where the hell Cinnabun came from. Well, Amethyst found her on her way home from school one day and she didn't have any sign of a home, so we took her in and now she's our pet. Sassy isn't really happy about her being here because she likes peace and quiet, which is the complete opposite of what Cinnabun is. Speaking of Sassy, she's getting pretty old, since I've had her since I was 16, and I just turned 30. But she can't really die of old age because she is somehow that one cat who's immortal. But as soon as I die of like natural causes or something, the point where Seto and Adam aren't able to bring me back, Sassy will get extremely ill and will soon die of sickness. Yeah, she's weird. I look at the time and see that it's almost 7:30.

"Guys! You guys might want to hurry! The bus will be here around 7:45 and it's 7:30!" I exclaim. I head into the kitchen and see both of the kids asleep on the table. I shake both of them and smile. "You guys didn't get any sleep last night, did you?" I ask and cross my arms. The both shake their heads.

"Dad and Jerome were making a lot of noise last night." CJ complains. 'I knew that would happen. I told him that he can't be over too late.'

"Well, you guys can try and sleep on the bus. I'll talk to Mitch later. But now, you two have to get your supplies together and be out the door in 10 minutes." They both nod and leave. I sigh and head back to the bedroom, only to find Mitch passed out on the bed. "Mitchell!"

"Wha-I'm awake!" He says and sits up quickly. I chuckle a little.

"Uh huh, sure. CJ said that you kept them up all night with yours and Jerome's yelling." I say and cross my arms. Mitch groans in annoyance.

"We tried our best to keep it down, but we must've forgotten at times because we were more worried about the game. Hopefully they'll get better sleep tonight." Mitch says and gets off the bed. I feel something rub up against my leg. I look down and see Sassy circling my leg. I pick her up and she huffs.

"I don't want to be held! Put me down!" She growls. I hug her tighter.

"Nah, you're too warm." I smile. Sassy scratches me and jumps out of my arms onto the floor. "Ow." She jumps back onto her tree and sits at the top of it.

"I don't like to be held Crys." She meows and puffs her chest out. I go up to her and pat her head.

"Did she scratch you?" Mitch asks. I look at my arm and see that I'm bleeding slightly.

"I'll live." Mitch crosses his arms.

"Yeah ok. Anyways, I'm going to go set up the recording and we'll start after the kids leave." He says. He leaves the room and heads into his office. I head back out into the living room and see that the kids have already left. 'I hope they'll be ok, but like Amethyst said before, they've been in way worse situations. I guess that's what happens when your grandma is basically making your life a living hell.'

"You ready?" Mitch asks, making me jump in surprise. "Did I scare you?"

"Yeah. And yes, I'm ready. Let's go!"
