Me and Shawn's forced week at the studio is finally over, and it was horrible. Angela and Charles were bossing us around like usual and it seemed like they were meaner than usual.

But luckily now since it's done, we're going to Canada today!

"I thought that you and Shawn weren't allowed to be in public together," Jacob exclaims after I tell him what's been going on. Right now I'm packing and he's hanging out with me.

"We aren't," I admit. "We're going there for Christmas, though. They can't make us stay here!"

"True," he adds. "I just hope you guys don't get in trouble."

"We probably will," I giggle. "They hate us, we hate them. They do whatever they can do to destroy our social lives."

"That's messed up," Jacob sighs.

"Very," I agree.

"Are you ready to go?" Shawn asks while walking into my room.

"Yeah," I answer while zipping up my bag. Next I stand up and give Jacob a hug. "Bye, Jacob. I'll see you in a few days."

"Bye," he says while hugging me back. Then I go and do the usual 'bye routine', which is where you give everyone a hug and they say 'have a safe flight' and blah blah blah.

When we get to the airport, Shawn and I go on our very long flight.

***

"Gosh," I groan while walking out of the plane. "That was horrible."

"I know," Shawn agrees. "But now we get to go home and just hang out."

"Yeah. Wait-who is picking us up and taking us back to your house?" I question him as we walk out of the airplane.

"My mom," he answers.

A car pulls up to us and then the window rolls down.

"Mom!" Shawn grins while running over to the window.

"Shawn!" Mrs. Mendes smiles while getting out of the car and giving him a big hug. "It's so great to see you again!" Then she turns over to me. "Lexie, hun! I haven't seen you in forever! How are you both?"

"Pretty good," Shawn explains. "Except for the crappy record deal we're signed too."

"Aw, I'm sorry," she frowns. "You two can tell me more about that later, but right now your father and I have to go to a party. Is it alright if you guys watch Aaliyah? It won't be much work, you just need to make sure she stays out of trouble and all that."

"I guess," Shawn sighs. "But I'm not going to be doing anything insane because Lexie and I are both exhausted."

"Okay, thank you so much," she exclaims.

"It's no problem," I assure her before I put my luggage in the trunk and then Shawn does the same.

Then we get back into the car and start driving back to their home. Since Shawn's in the front seat though, he puts an Ed Sheeran CD in and we listen to that.

As soon as we pull up to the house, Aaliyah runs outside and gives me a giant hug.

"LEXIE!" she screams.

"Ohhh, you just got rejected," I tease Shawn. "And hey, Aaliyah, what's up?"

"I'm currently hugging you," she answers and I laugh.

Then Shawn runs over and snatches her from me, picks her up, and runs inside.

I sprint after them and then I find him tickling her.

"I thought you were too tired to do anything insane, Shawn," I smirk.

"Not anymore," he chuckles.

Mr. Mendes runs into the room and gives all of us a quick hug. "We're going to be late if we don't leave now, so I'll talk to you guys later!" he yells before going outside and slamming the door shut.

"Hey, should I take my bags to the guest room?" I ask.

"Nooo, your not allowed to," he sarcastically replies, causing me to laugh.

I go to the guest room that I always stay in and place my bags on the ground before going back to the living room.

"Can we make cookies?" Aaliyah begs.

"I'm too lazy to do that," Shawn sighs.

"Shawn!" she pouts. "Pleeeease? Cookies aren't that hard to make!"

"Fine," he gives in and I cheer.

"Yay!" I exclaim while running to the kitchen.

"I have a recipe on my phone," Aaliyah explains while showing it to us.

"This can't be too hard to make," Shawn shrugs.

I get a measuring cup and then start measuring the ingredients. "Aaliyah, can you crack two eggs into the bowl? And Shawn, can you get the sugar?"

They both nod and come back with the ingredients, which we put in the bowl.

"Great!" Aaliyah grins a few minutes later when the dough is ready and in cookie form. "Now all we have to do is cook them!"

Shawn preheats the oven while I take a little bit of cookie dough from a cookie and eat it.

"Lexie!" he scolds while gently pushing my hand away from the cookies. "We need the dough for the cookies!"

"You're no fun," I laugh.

"I'm super fun," he chuckles while waving a spatula with dough on it at me and some lands on my face.

"Shawn!" I giggle. "But 'we need dough for the cookies'!" I smirk, mocking him.

"Whatever," he grins. "Okay, it's time to put the cookies in the oven. How long do they have to be in there, Aaliyah?"

"Fifteen minutes," she explains.

"Okay," he nods while setting the timer and then he gets ready to put the cookies in.

But before he can put the cookies in, all of the lights turn off and so does everything else that was plugged in.

"What just happened?" I question Shawn, getting a little bit freaked out.

"Crap, I think our power went out," he frowns.

"There was suppose to be a big snow storm later today," Aaliyah adds. "That might have caused it."

"Well what are we going to do? We have to bake the cookies," I exclaim.

"Umm. We could go to a neighbors house and see if we can use their oven," Shawn suggests.

"Everyone's power is out, smart one," I giggle.

"Hey, I wasn't sure," he defends. "Sometimes our power randomly goes out, but there are no lights on in the other houses."

"What about the cookies!" Aaliyah cries out.

"Well, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to just eat the dough. The dough is really good," I admit while taking some more dough from the unbaked cookies. "Or we could bake them tomorrow."

"We can just eat the dough now," Shawn agrees.

"Can we play some board games too?" Aaliyah asks.

"That sounds fun," I pitch in.

"Yay! I'll go grab a game!" she grins before running out of the kitchen.

"It was just our luck that the power went out right before we put the cookies in," I laugh.

"Right," Shawn chuckles. "And with our luck we'll also get Salmonella poising from the raw eggs in the cookie dough."

"Here!" Aaliyah exclaims while bringing a game up to us- Candy Land. "Can we play this?"

"Sure," we say in unison.

"Im going to go grab some blankets, can you two move the dough and the game to the living room?" Shawn asks.

"We got this," I assure him. "Oh, and we'll light some candles so then it's not too dark."

"I'll bring the game and you can bring the cookie dough and the candles," Aaliyah decides. "I don't want to trip and end up getting the cookie dough everywhere. Mom and Dad would be mad if they came home to find cookie dough all over the walls."

"Okay, but there's no promises I won't spill the dough," I confess. "I'm really clumsy too, don't worry."

When we get everything set up, Shawn comes downstairs with a bunch of blankets.

"Here you go," he says while handing us each a blanket.

We both thank him and then he sits down next to me.

"Okay, I'm ready to win this game," I smirk.

***

"You cheated!" Aaliyah accuses Shawn. We've been playing Candy Land for about three hours now, and we've all won about the same amount of times.

"I did not!" he defends.

"Did too!" she spits back.

"Do you have a different game we can play?" I ask, breaking up their argument.

"Yeah, we-" Aaliyah starts to say, but then Mr and Mrs. Mendes walk through the door.

"Hi, guys," Mr. Mendes grins. "I'm surprised you guys are still awake. It's nearly one in the morning."

"And why are there a bunch of candles lit?" Mrs. Mendes laughs.

"The power went out," Shawn explains. "We didn't know the time because we weren't on our phones and the candles are lit so we can still see."

"Oh, that makes since," she laughs. "Well you guys should make sure to go to sleep soon. You don't want to be too tired tomorrow."

"Yeah," Aaliyah agrees. "Can us three just sleep down here though? We already have a bunch of blankets."

"That's fine," Mr. Mendes agrees. "But we're going to bed now, so goodnight."

"Goodnight," we all say back to them and they go upstairs.

I slide the Candy Land board over so I have some room to lay down and then I rest my head on a pillow that was on the couch.

Shawn lays next to me and wraps his arm around me. "Goodnight, Lexie."

"Goodnight, Shawn," I smile while moving over closer to him.

"I don't get a goodnight?" Aaliyah gasps and I giggle.

"Goodnight, Aaliyah," Shawn chuckles.

"Goodnight Shawn, goodnight Lexie," she grins.

"I think today was pretty fun," I whisper to Shawn.

"I agree," he whispers back. "Are you excited for Christmas?"

"Yes!" I quietly exclaim. "Do you guys have anything special you guys do for it? Like any traditions?"

"You'll just have to wait and see," he smirks, leaving me without an answer.
