  "Wake up. We're here!"

  I guess I had fallen asleep, because I woke up to Lilly shaking my arm. The flight had been pretty smooth, but there was a little turbulence.

  It was shocking to me that I had actually slept for the six hours, because this was my first flight, and it was quite scary to be honest. I was never a fan of heights.

Groaning, I lifted my head off the window and took my earbuds out. The plane started to feel like it was falling, so I instantly looked out the window. We were descending.

  As we got closer, I could see the city more clearly. It was beautiful. I could feel the energy of LA, and we weren't even on the ground yet.

  After staring out the window for about five minutes, the plane finally pulled into the LAX airport.

"Hello everybody, and thank you for riding with us today. The time is 3:28 pm, and the weather is currently sunny, with a temperature of 82 degrees. We hope you have a good time, and hope to see you again. Welcome to Los Angeles, California! You may now depart the plane!"

Lilly smiled and jumped up to get her suitcase from the overhead. My bag was by my feet.

  It was small, so there was wasn't any point in putting it away. I put the straps around me and stood up to help Lilly.

  We struggled, but managed to get it off by ourselves, and got in line. I laughed at her eagerness and joined her.

  Lilly and I finally shuffled our way out of the plane and stepped into the airport. It was huge, with well-known outlets and so many restaurants.

  We looked around and saw most people going to chauffeurs holding signs with their names on them, or getting into family member's cars. Well, shit. We didn't think about a ride.

  Lilly fumbled around in her bag, then pulled out her phone. She lifted it up in the air.

  "Have no fear, Uber is here!"

  I laughed and playfully punched her arm. I'm pretty sure that the whole airport heard her. Lilly gets quite loud when she's excited.

  We found a place to sit on the edge of a fountain, so Lilly could order the Uber. While she did that, I looked around the port, admiring all of the energy.

  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man running towards us. I couldn't see him very well, but I could tell that he had red hair and a little beard.

  Thinking nothing of it, I turned back to Lilly and put my head on her shoulder. It would be 6:52 pm in New York. I was a little jet-lagged, and the time difference was definitely getting to me.

  Suddenly, I saw the man jump. I turned my head and thats when I heard a huge splash. Lilly and I both got completely drenched head to toe in fountain water.

  Lilly stood up with her mouth gaping open in shock, and wrung the water out of her clothes. I burst out laughing as I saw swing himself over the ledge and run away. The security started chasing him, but he was faster.

  Lilly looked over to the scene. "Asshole!"

  She then looked at me, probably wondering how I could be laughing. Suddenly, we were both laughing messes.

  We got a few stares from other flyers. I didn't mind, though. I would be staring too if two girls were standing by a fountain, dripping with water, and laughing like maniacs.

  If this was normal in LA, then I just know that we'll have a great time here.

  We finally calmed down from the whole scene, and walked outside. Lilly had finally gotten an Uber from a girl named Vanessa, and she was five minutes away.

  Lilly sat down on her suitcase while I squatted on the floor. I don't know why, but I've always liked sitting on the floor.

  Our clothes finally dried, and we saw a blue pickup truck pull up to the lane.

  "That's her", Lilly said.

  Our driver looked around confused until she spotted me with my hand raised. She smiled and walked over to us, grabbing Lilly's suitcase and tossing it into the back.

  There's not much to say about the Uber ride. It wasn't very long, maybe only forty minutes.

  Our driver pulled up to curb of a tall building. I couldn't see much, because I am pretty short, and her windows were up high.

  "Nous sommes ici."

  I looked up at her. She was speaking another language, maybe French.

  "Uh, thanks. You too."

  I winced inside, hoping I didn't respond badly. Lilly gave the lady some money, grabbed her bag, and slid out of the truck, with me behind her.

  I was about to step out when I felt one hand cup over my eyes. Lilly laughed.

  "You can see the outside later. I want you to see our apartment when we get there."

  Lilly grabbed my shoulder and led me around the building. I'm not gonna lie, I peeped one of my eyes out, and could see a white marble floor of what I was presumed was the lobby.

  There was a dinging sound and we stepped into an elevator. Once it stopped, I squinted my right eye and saw that we were on the eleventh floor.

  We walked down a short hall until Lilly stopped me.

  "This is it", she told me.

  I heard some keys jingling and then a door opening.

  "Alrighty, open your eyes!"

  I gasped. It was beautiful. Lilly chuckled and grabbed my hand.

  "C'mon, you haven't even seen the best part!"

  We walked around the corner, and I saw some stairs.

  My mouth was still gaping open. The top floor was even more awesome then the bottom.

  "Let me show you our rooms!", she squealed.

  I laughed. She tends to squeal when she's happy.

  "This is mine. I wanted one facing some water. The other bedroom had too much city shit for me."

  She pressed her face into the glass, smiling as she stared outside. Lilly shook herself out of her trance and grabbed my hand, pulling me out of her bedroom and into another hall.

  Eventually,  we found ourselves in another room.

  "And this is yours! Oh, and don't worry. There's retractable curtains on all of the windows, so no pervy people can watch you. And the walls are a bit sound-proof, just in case you get some action."

  She winked, making me burst out laughing. Lilly soon joined me. After we calmed down, I pulled her into a hug.

  "Honestly, thanks for everything, Lills. I don't think I would be able to live without you."

  She pretended to fake cry, and hugged me back.

  "Aww, Em, it's nothing, really. Now get changed, we're gonna go explore!"
