Tuckahoe, NY - 5:01 pm - 1/5/21

"So, what is this exactly?" David asked.

"It's a meet & greet. It's over zoom so more people can come and meet GriffinPuff."

"Why do you call them by their username? Why not, Sammy or, like, I don't frickin know, like, Alexis?"

"Well... I don't know their real name... they haven't revealed it yet."

"HA SUCKER YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THEIR NAME"

" David... stop... please~"

"HA- oh... I'm sorry Gray..."

"No, it's aight," I replied.

~ QUICK DAVID POV ~

"What time was it supposed to start?" I asked. I thought it was starting a few hours ago, but obviously, it didn't.

"... two minutes ago..." Gray responded. He sounded confused as well.

The screen said this:

Please wait for the host to start this meeting

Meet and Greet 1-5-21

Now, I wasn't a tech genius like Gray, but I'm pretty sure that meant that the meeting wasn't open yet. I walked out of the room to go grab some earbuds so I could join Grayson for this meet and greet, but halfway down the hallway, I heard an explosion of noise spilling out of Gray's room.

"AJSHFLULQWJHEFDIUAFBCCUESGAHSUBSCRIBETOTECHNOBLADEHRDCBCBJS-" and it was quiet again.

"holy SHIT" Grayson was wheezing. I ran back in with the earbuds.

"What the HELL was that? It was ear rape just from the kitchen!"

"Everyone joined unmuted-" he was still recovering from laughter. Grayson has a very contagious laugh. I didn't notice his camera was on and I started wheezing along with Gray.

"What are you two laughing about over there?" We turned our heads to the screen just to see GriffinPuff staring at us with only what we could assume was a smile. They had on a Ranboo sweatshirt, a yellow mask, and some badass gogy glasses (a/n- gogy glasses are gerorgenotfound's glasses that his mc skin wears)

~Back to our regularly scheduled program, Grayson's POV~

I showed a big smile on my face when I saw GriffinPuff.

"Well, I'm sure you can share with the rest of the class a little later. For now, let's get started with some introductions! There aren't too many of you here because I heard all around the world there were some CRAZY ass power outages, so there are only about 100 or so of you here." GriffinPuff announced.

"We can go first!" I volunteered for David and me. 

"Aight then- whenever you are ready."

"'Ello gov'nor! Moi name's-" I couldn't finish my sentence without combusting with laughter. I calmed down and continued. " 'Ello, mate. My name is Grayson, you all know me as BumbleGrumble... uh, I use He/Him or They/Them pronouns. I was on GriffinPuff's stream last night, I like bees, and uh..... SUBSCRIBE TO TECHNOBLADE."

"Hello, my name is David, I am Grayson's older brother, I use he/him pronouns, uh, MrBeast6000 yea you know his name, he changed it once or twice but now it's here to stay." David followed.

After everyone else introduced themselves, I unmuted. "Hey, GriffinPuff,"

"Ghostbusters, whaddya want?" They responded.

"So, you don't have to do a face reveal, but will you do a name reveal?" I asked. GriffinPuff looked nervous, even with their face covered. They tensed up and started messing with their fingers and fingernails. "Oh! I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable i-" they interrupted me

"No no you're fine!" They assured me. "Tell you what, I will do a name reveal for YOU, but no one else yet."

"Simp"

"SiMp!"

"Siiiiiimmmppppp"

Everyone started unmuting and saying 'simp'. It was funny so I started wheezing. Like, WHEEZING. It sounded like Dream had broken into my house and Gogy had just died stupidly in Minecraft.

"Ok ok ok do yall need context on why Grayson is the only one getting a name reveal?" GriffinPuff announced. The zoom call became filled with yeses from the 100 people that were present. "AIGHT- jeez ok, so first of all, they asked nicely, which NONE of you have EVER done before," The meeting was bombarded with 'boooo' and 'thats a dumb reason' and anything else of that sort. "SECOND of all, I am friends with Grayson, so I talk with him more." Everyone reconsidered and started saying ' oh yea that makes sense and 'Touché' "Aight, well, Grayson I will message you after the Meet & Greet."

"Ok-" I giggled. The Meet & Greet went on and we played games, told stories, and eventually, it was time to go. Everyone said goodbye and GriffinPuff told me to stay for a few extra minutes.

"aight so  mi nombre... es... ✨barbra✨"

I fell over in my chair from laughter because of the Jschlatt quote.

"pfffHAHAHAHA-" the supposed Barbra laughed. "just kidding, just- HA- kidding. ok, my name is Griffin. Tee Hee" Griffin shot finger guns at me when they said this.

" Ok well, Griffin *shoots finger guns*, it was very nice meeting you at this meet and greet. Minecraft tomorrow at 6 ish?"

"Sounds great my dude. Lots of love coming your way! mwah! Love you man."

This meeting was ended by the host.

Love you man.

No, they're just a friend
