"brylee!" chris whispered. she didn't make a sound, she was fast asleep. "hey brylee, we gotta go." chris whispered again.

"where are we going chris?" brylee whispered.
"it's a surprise, silly." chris giggled.

"come on pretty girl, get up!" chris said, talking a bit more louder. "but chris! i'm tired!" she whined. but as tired as she was, she got up and sat at the end of her bed.

"here, you can where my hoodie." chris said to her and gave it to her. she reluctantly put it on, and pushed chris out of the room.

she took her pajama shirt off, and put on a bra and chris' hoodie. and then she put on some shorts and grabbed her phone and airpods, and came out the door.

chris was still standing right there, waiting. "you ready? matt made some pancakes downstairs."

"yeah, let's go." she was already walking to the kitchen, to see matt. when she noticed that it was 2:55 am in the morning.

"chris? why is it almost 3 am?"

before chris could answer, nick answered. "good morning queen! ready to go?!" nick yelled.

"nick! literally shut up!" matt yelled.

"how are you so energetic?"

later

the group arrived at the airport, brylee was almost asleep. but she had to get through security, and check bags.

"come on pretty girl, let's go." chris pushed her the right way, following matt.

once they got through the checkpoints, they made it to their gate, not boarding yet.

"you guys, can do something else, we don't board til 6:08 am, and it's only 5:03. make yourselves useful." nick dismissed them, and sat back down, doing some editing.

chris, brylee, and matt walked around the terminal they were in, brylee trying to get them to spill.

"where are we going?" she whined.

"can't tell you!" chris teased.

the three of them were in a candy store, grabbing some bags, so they could eat on the plane.

brylee got gummy bears, and she got nick some sour gummy worms. matt got sour patch kids, and chris got m&ms. the three of them went to get some drinks as well.

matt got root beer, obviously, chris got pepsi, and brylee got fanta, and they got nick a coke. they all headed back to the gate, and nick was there, headphones on.

matt lightly touched his shoulder, making him look up. "hey nick!" brylee said, popping a squat right next to him. he waved, and saw the candy.

"do i get some too?" he asked her. "yup, here's some bags of sour worms. and a coke." "thanks brylee, literally love you!" he exclaimed.

later

the four of them boarded the plane, and brylee and chris were seated together. matt and nick were a few rows ahead. chris let brylee have the window seat. he loved the way the girl's eyes lit up whenever she talked about something she was passionate about.

during the flight, brylee was mostly asleep, leaning on chris' shoulder. soon enough, the flight landed, and they had to go on another flight, because it was a connecting flight.

the plane landed in new york, and everyone filed out. brylee and chris lost matt and nick, so they just went to the assigned gate.

"chris, it's this way!" brylee said. "nah, it's this way!" he pointed the opposite direction. "let's see who finds them first, then?" she held out her hand, and chris shook it, making it a deal.

so brylee went to the right, and chris went to the left. and chris was right, he found them at the gate. "hey guys." he said, walking their way.

"chris! where the fuck were you? and where's brylee?" nick looked around.

"we were arguing which way the gate was, so she went the opposite direction." chris replied back.

"is she okay?" matt asked.

"yeah, she's fine, she'll make her way back." chris said, as he sat down. "besides we have 45 minutes."

"but if she's not here in the next 20 minutes, you're looking for her." nick said sharply.

"fine." chris promised nick.

it became 20 minutes later, and chris regretted saying yes to finding her. the airport was huge. he came back to the spot they split, and to the right. when he looked around, there were so many different directions he could go.

he called nick up.

"chris? have you found her?" nick asked.

"i actually have no idea where she is..." chris admitted.

"okay, come back to the gate, and we'll discuss." nick said and hung up the phone.

chris made it back to the gate, and they each texted brylee, telling her the plane was boarding in 25 minutes.

"she read mine.." matt said.

"same here." nick said.

"same." chris said.

10 minutes passed by, and still no brylee. "do you think she knows where she's going?" matt asked.

"chris, i asked you a quest—where did he go?" matt looked around confused. "he left, like 5 minutes ago." nick said flatly.

5 minutes later, chris came back, with him and brylee holding hands. "where the heck were you?" nick asked, cocking an eyebrow up.

"i bought more junk, and coffee." she told them, matter of factly.

"so you're telling me, you're energetic?" nick asked. "yup!"

"you're gonna crash on the plane." nick said.

"well, how long's the flight?" brylee asked.

"it's 8 hours and 20 minutes." matt chimed in.

"you're telling me i have to be on a plane for over 3 hours?!" brylee yelled.
