"we're decorating cookies in teams!" elliot yells at a rapid rate right when nick finishes setting the camera up and turning it on, eliminating the chance of anyone else introducing the video.

nick turns around slowly, suddenly giggling when he gets an idea. elliot furrows his eyebrows at the way he's simply just giggling as if he doesn't fight him over starting the video.

"we're decorating cookies in teams!" nick repeats, making jade laugh at his obvious idea.

"i just said that."

"no you didn't, i'm cutting that out." nick tells him truthfully, laughing at the way he's going to delete the audio of where elliot introduces the video and replace it with his own voice.

"FUCK Y-"

matt interrupts elliot, "so what are the teams?" he jumps into the video.

the group stands in the sturniolo's kitchen, huddled around the big kitchen island and looking at the camera positioned on the tripod in front of it. they are six chairs around it but separated in three spots, meaning two chairs in each spot for each team.

"chris, matt, and elliot cant be on the same team because they all equally suck ass at decorating." jade establishes, making nick and kiara laugh as the three boys who just got violated roll their eyes.

"so..?" chris asks her to continue, not even defending himself over her comment because he knows it's true. they all do.

"i don't know. how about we ask instagram?" jade suggests. when everyone nods, nick pulls out his phone and opens the group account on instagram, posting a question feature on their story and labeling it 'what should the three teams of two be between nick, matt, chris, elliot, jade, & kiara?'

the group turns off the camera and waits for a while, having a dance break to 'broken clocks' by sza before checking the responses from fans.

user1: ELLIOT AND NICK I BEG
user2: IMAGINE THE BANTER BETWEEN NICK & ELLIOT. i want it.
user3: KIARA AND MATT TWO MAN (my friend unfortunately can't come)
user4: seeing chris burp in jades face and watching her fight the urge to vomit is so unnecessarily hilarious. please 🙏.
user5: kie and matt 😮‍💨
user6: jade & chris are the hottest duo i fear
user7: i would beg on my hands & knees to see kiara nd matt on a team
user8: the editors would have a fucking field day if the teams were nick & elliot, chris & jade, and matt & kiara
user9: you don't wanna know the lengths i would go to in order to see nick and elliot work as a team.
user10: mina and matt 😍❤️🥰😘
↳ author: i don't write the rules 🤷‍♀️
user11: PRETTY PLEASE JADE & CHRIS

most of the group laughs at the responses.

most.

nick and elliot side eye each other and groan, hating the idea of having to decorate a cookie together.

the group laughs harder at the way nick defeatedly walks to the camera and turns it back on, staring into the camera momentarily as if it slaughtered his entire family.

he walks back to the group as chris starts explaining the rules. "each team is gonna have one gingerbread cookie and they have to decorate it together

"you may be wondering why we're decorating gingerbread cookies in june, so how about we ask nick!" elliot speaks, turning the attention to nick who went shopping earlier and bought gingerbread cookies.

"because christmas is coming up..?" nick answers in a duh tone.

"christmas is.." chris pauses, putting his fingers up and counting the months ahead of him. "six whole months away."

"well yeah, but you have to get in the christmas spirit!" nick answers again, expecting everyone to cheer and begin getting in the spirit.

silence.

"six months before christmas?" kiara blankly asks, able to get in the christmas spirit a day before christmas.

"duh,"

"okay," matt ignores the way kiara opens her mouth to speak, instead stealing the spotlight. "we asked the viewers to make three teams of two and they did." matt turns his head to nick who rolls his eyes immediately. "would you be a delight and state the teams, nick?"

"no." nick promptly answers, making chris and jade audibly laugh at the way he's so annoyed.

chris steps in, being the one to explain the teams since no one else will. "the teams are kiara and matt, jade and me, and elliot and nick."

elliot and nick stay glued to the floor as matt walks over to kiara and jade walks over to chris.

"come over here, dumbass." nick demands elliot.

"you come over here, fruit cake." elliot replies.

nick rolls his eyes but begins walking over to him anyway, knowing elliot won't lose an argument. ever.

everyone takes their seats, looking at the materials placed in front of each pair of chairs. three colors of frosting -red, white, and green- gumdrops, m&m's, edible colored beads, and mini candy stars.

"start!" chris yells, instantly grabbing the white frosting and drawing founding father ass hair on the gingerbread cookie, making it look like george washington.

"chris!" jade stops him by grabbing his arm right when she realizes, being too late when she sees him finished and giggling.

kiara and matt look at each other before laughing, knowing they have an actual chance of winning because of chris' dumbass.

kiara grabs the red frosting, drawing pants on the gingerbread cookie as matt draws a shirt with the white frosting, both ignoring elliot and nick arguing over who gets to draw what.

"did you.." kiara furrows her eyebrows, taking her eyes off of the pants that she drew on and colored in and reverting them to the shirt that matt drew on and colored in. "did you give it a crop top?"

before matt could laugh, chris beats him to it.

"no fucking way you gave it a crop top!" chris exclaims, laughing his ass off and not noticing jade drawing a bikini bra onto their gingerbread.

jade side eyes him, making everyone except chris laugh. chris picks his head up and looks at his gingerbread cookie, gasping when he notices what jade has done.

"my cookie!" he calls out, putting both hands on his heart dramatically as if his child died. he's too slow to fix it, obviously, so he just leaves the bra.

chris breaks two pieces off an extra gingerbread cookie and shapes them into circles, making jade gasp when he adds them onto the gingerbreads chest, making them look like titties.

"CHRIS!" jade yells, failing to act mad when she immediately starts laughing. she goes over the titties to finish the bra again as the rest of the group looks over.

"what the actual fuck."

nick and elliot laugh in unison, stopping and looking at each other when they do so.

"don't fucking copy me."

"you copied me, fruit cake."

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"fruit cake."

nick impulsively grabs the green frosting and squeezes it with full force over the cookie, attempting to ruin elliot's cookie -which is his cookie as well. he's caught off guard when the pastry bag explodes and the green frosting spills everywhere, including all over him, elliot, and the cookie.

nick and elliot gasp in unison, ignoring all the yells of laughter from the group as they both abruptly snap their heads to each other, almost giving them whiplash.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!" elliot yells as he looks down at his white shirt, now being a green shirt covered in sticky frosting.

"THAT WAS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!"

"HOW?!"

"YOU TRIGGERED MY RAGE!" nick states, accusing the whole incident to be elliot's fault.

elliot rolls his eyes, knowing nick has some sort of anger issues. he looks back down to their cookie, not even being able to see it anymore because there's green frosting dumped on top of it.

"uh.. we're done!" nick calls out, knowing there's no saving this poor cookie. he came to the conclusion that they should just show it like this.

chris and kiara look at each other momentarily before bursting out into laughter. "aren't you two just so creative?" chris teases, taunting them over the fact that there's only one color of frosting drowning their poor cookie.

nick and elliot stay silent, both huffing and crossing their arms as they refuse to look at each other, both thinking it's the others fault.

"we're done too." jade says, putting the frosting in her hands down and turning the attention to kiara and matt, the only team who isn't done.

kiara looks at matt, whos still working on the hair. he finishes quickly, making the hair a bit sloppy because he was in a rush.

"okay," chris claps his hands together, gaining the attention of the audience watching the video as he leans forward in his seat and looks over at the camera. "each team is gonna show the camera their cookie and then we're going to post a poll on instagram to see which team did the best." he explains.

jade gently picks up hers and chris' cookie, making her way over to the camera so the viewers could see the cookie better. she puts the cookie in front of the lens, giving the viewers a perfect look at what jade and chris created.

"okay," jade starts, trying to explain their cookie. "the slave master ass hair was chris' fault." she's quick to blame him, getting a gasp from chris in response because of the reference. "the bra was me so we could add a bit of spice, the titties was chris because he's a baby, sunglasses because he's cool, and the white pants was chris because he... i don't know actually."

chris rolls his eyes at her explanation as the group behind him giggles at his expression. "whatever. whos next?" he asks, both him and jade taking a step back and giving another team the chance to step up and show off their cookie.

nobody says anything, instead just watching elliot shove a green thing in front of the camera with no explanation.

both nick and elliot stay silent, looking at each other for a split second and expecting the other to say something. when none of them do, elliot removes the cookie and looks over to kiara and matt, signaling them to go.

matt refrains from laughing at nick and elliot's mess, holding up his and kiara's cookie so his mind could focus on something else.

"this is petunia!" kiara exclaims, getting a look from everyone in the room.

"petunia..?"

"yes matt, petunia."

"okay," matt gives in, taking the chance to explain their cookie, or 'petunia' as kiara calls it. "petunia has candy cane hair," he points to the hair of the gingerbread man, embracing the red and white stripes that he drew on to make it look festive. "a white crop top to add some sass, red pants that kiara drew on," he explains thoroughly, pointing to the red pants that have white dots on them. "and lipstick that kiara drew because...?" he gives her space to explain, not understanding why she added red lipstick on the cookies lips.

"because she's fancy." kiara promptly answers.

"right," matt nods, ultimately putting his cookie on the table before side eyeing the camera. "if you guys don't pick me and kie to win, it's on sight."

"woah!" chris exclaims, ignoring the way kiara laughs. "threatening fans is not a good way to persuade them!"

"yes it is."

"let's post the poll on instagram now." nick jumps in, pulling his phone out and lining all three of the cookies on the table before taking a picture.

he posts the picture on the group instagram story alongside a poll. it's labeled 'who won?' and there's three options -kiara & matt, elliot & nick, and chris & jade. he also labeled the cookies so the viewers know which one is which.

the group shuts off the camera, waiting to get responses from fans.

"they're gonna be biased and pick kie and matt." jade laughs, knowing the fans love kiara's and matt's 'chemistry.'

"not true!" kiara exclaims, growing offended that jade thinks that would be the only reason why they win, as if petunia isn't beautiful.

the group checks the poll response after waiting a couple minutes.

21% picked chris & jade, so they're in third place. 34% picked kiara & matt, so they're in second place. and 45% picked elliot & nick, so they've won first place.

elliot and nick immediately cheer, impulsively hugging each other and jumping around as the rest of the group shares a look.

"how the fuck..?" jade murmurs, not getting how that won first place.

i never expected to talk to some of the ppl there but they turned out to be SOO funny. we all had a pillow fight at 3am

apple (the girl with the boyfriend) was being so dramatic and sensitive over little things and even had a huge argument with turtle (her boyfriend) at night and everyone was trying to hard to be nosy 😭 ofc me being me (i have a big ass nose so ofc i'm nosy 😘) found out what the argument was about and ima share it because why not:
so basically a guy named melanie (code name) woke up a girl named nikki (code name) so apple hit him because nikki is her friend but then turtle got so mad at her for hitting melanie partially because him and melanie are really close friends and partially because he didn't want her touching other boys ..
