To old readers:
Hey guys! So, we completely didn't update this at all. So, since plenty of people still want us to do this (and with Mew's constant asking) we're rebooting the series! Each chapter will be released with the same basic premise as the old ones, but with much better writing ability. We welcome new characters, old characters, and the same amazing adventure! The updates will be a bit slow, but they will come, nevertheless!
To new readers:
Hey! My partner (Mew) and I are going to be posting this story very randomly! We're both in high school, so work comes before story! Sorry! But it will be posted (probably on the weekend). Enjoy the first chapter!

Mal's POV:
Annnnnnnnnnd my life sucks. I think to myself, as I stand up from the dirty puddle I tripped into. First I thought it was just some bad luck. After I missed my bus twice, got yelled at by my boss, and fell into a puddle, I'm starting to think otherwise.
I try to wring out my white work uniform, but to no avail. With a huge sigh, I begin walking down the street again, looking for the crowded apartment complex that I called home.
As soon as I reach my building, I have a headache, and I'm freezing from the cold night outside. I make a beeline for the elevator, when Eric, the guy who lives under my apartment, stops me.
"Hey, Mal. I'm super sorry, but the elevator's broken." He says.
"Again? Ugh, just my luck…" I mumble.
"I know right? They really need to fix it. I've gotta go tell the others, I'll talk with you later!" He says, running off to tell the next unfortunate soul to walk in.
I turn to the stairs. Six floors won't be so bad, will it? I sigh again, and start climbing up to my apartment.
Once I finally get in and lock the door, I drop my bag and run off to the shower, in an attempt to get warm. Before I even step into the bathroom, a loud noise erupts from the apartment above me.
Please don't tell me…
"EY! Randy! Howsit goin? Let's get this party staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarted! Oh laaay! Oh lay oh lay oh laaaaaay!" The drunken slurs from my neighbor echoed through the apartment.
Curse those damn thin floorboards…
I tried to drown him out with the shower, but the pulsing techno music didn't help one bit.
I finish my shower, and change into my pajamas, completely worn out from today.
As I flop down onto my bed, and throw a pillow over my head in a feudal attempt to drown out the noise, I mumble to myself.
"This day was the absolute wor-"
"OH LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! YEAH MAN!"
With a sigh, I shove the pillow over my head harder, and finish what I was about to say; "Worst."
Cami's POV:
As the storm cracked and boomed outside, I shoved my chair away from my computer.
"I can't focus on writing in this storm… It's too loud…" I mumble, half to myself. I've got to stop talking to myself, people are gonna think I'm crazy, living on my own…
"Ugh, why did the bookstore close early? Now there's nothing to do!" I exclaim, again, to myself.
I roll back towards my computer. "Will Minecraft help?"
A few minutes of continuing the tedious work of creating a successful strip mine lead me to closing down the game.
"Maybe some other games on steam can help?"
Just as I said that, the power cut out in my flat.
"Oh really?!" I exclaim to no one. With a sigh, I call the owner of the building.
"Hey, uh, the power cut out. Do you know when it'll be back on?"
"Oh, we're working on it now. It'll take some time to fix it, about a couple hours."
"Alright, thank you!" I say. As I hang up, I stared at my phone. The light lit up my living room, and it read 11:15 pm.
"Damn, it's late. The power won't be on until at least the morning…" I mumble.
Maybe I can sleep this boring day off…
I quickly change into a t-shirt and pajama pants, put my glasses onto my bed stand, and jump into bed.
"Come on dreams; give me more excitement than what this real life day is shoving in my face…" I mumble into my pillow.
Lily's POV:
My hand is entwined with Nathan's as we stroll down the dark street. I let go of his hand, and rub my hands up and down my arms, shivering slightly in the cool night air. Nathan pulls me close and puts his arm over my shoulder. I look at him, and we both smile softly at each other.
"This date was perfect…" I sigh, half to myself. I lean my head on Nathan's shoulder.
"Agreed, the movie was great!" He smiles again, and leads us up my driveway.
"I told you so! Did I call it, or what?" I giggle slightly, as we walk up to my door.
"You're right, dear." Nathan smiles again, and lets go of my shoulder. We turn to face each other, holding onto the other's hands like a life line.
"You're coming over tomorrow for dinner, right?" I ask.
"It's a date."
"Goodnight, Nathan." I mumble, smiling. We lean into each other, and our lips touch. We kiss quickly, our hands, leaning against the other. We part again, and hold each other's hands again, not wanting to say goodbye.
"Goodnight, Lily. I love you." Nathan responds.
"Love you too."
Slowly letting go of his hands, I turn and unlock the door. I turn back around, and give him a smile and a small wave, before turning in and shutting the door softly behind me. I lock it, and lean against it, sighing in content.
I get up from the door, and peak out the window. Nathan is walking away slowly down the block, glancing up at my house and smiling every now and then.
Good, he's getting home safe. I think, and smile again.
I slip off the sneakers I was wearing, and begin to walk towards my room. A lean cat strolled into the room, purring contently.
"Hey Zelda! Who's my cute little girl?" I coo, rubbing the cat gently on the head.
Zelda mews, and starts walking towards the kitchen.
Knowing what she wants, I follow her, and fill up her food and water bowl, before retiring to my room.
Untangling my hair from the bun I put it in, I slipped on some sweat pants and a t-shirt Nathan got me, and slip into bed, exhausted from the day's events.
I smile again to myself, and as I'm slipping into unconsciousness, I mumble, "Best day ever."
