"THIS IS MY JAAAAAAAAAM!"

I rolled my eyes as one of my best friends jumped up and down on the couch. Why did he always have to shout?

A Beastie Boys song played in the background as I held my fingers poised over my keyboard. All of a sudden the song changed to one of Prince's hits.

"Now THIS is good music."

I chuckled under my breath. Always fighting.

"Hey man, I was listening to that!"

"Well too bad! It's my turn!"

Sheesh. It was impossible to write with these two around.

"Go get your own stereo!"

"Maybe I would if you paid me more!"

"Hey, take that up with your other brother!"

"GUYS!" I couldn't take it any more. "I love you, but please. Take it somewhere else."

Solomon stepped down off the couch. "Sorry."

His younger brother Jacob flipped his hair. "He started it."

"Started it? YOU changed the song!"

"Guysss," I pleaded. "It doesn't matter. I need to finish this paper, and I can't with the two of you arguing like little girls."

"Gir—" Jacob started, but Sol put a hand on his chest. "You're right. Sorry. Let's go, Jake."

The two headed out of the living room and into the kitchen. Within a few minutes, they had begun to argue over who got the last can of Mountain Dew.

"You know I can still hear you?" I called.

They shut up and reluctantly shared the soda.

"Good boys," I smiled, finally beginning to type.

…

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Olivia. I live in a little apartment with my two best friends, Kenzie and Lauren. We call ourselves Team Unicorn. Yeah, that's right. Get to know us and then judge.

There's a certain band that we all happen to love, named Family Force 5. We also happen to be extremely close with the members.

A little too close, in some cases. It could get a bit hectic sometimes.

I'm studying animation. I hope to work for Disney someday.

Lauren aspires to be an accountant (boooriiing) and Kenzie wants to own her own record company.

Oh, and remember how I said we were close to the members of FF5?

Well…

Kenzie's dating Nathan, the keyboardist. Lauren's dating Jacob, the (as you saw) whiny drummer.

And me?

I'm dating the most perfect man in the world. Joshua Olds, their bassist. The whiny drummer's twin brother.

I'm sort of just kidding about Jacob being whiny. I love him to death.

But Josh…the stars shine brighter when I'm with him. The colors are more vivid. The laughter is louder.

AHEM.

Moving on.

It's a silly way we all met, really. I met Lauren through Twitter. We discussed writing FF5-related fanfiction. Go down the road a bit, and BAM. Best friends.

Lauren also got to know Kenzie through Twitter, and I had already known her for a while. BAM. The perfect three.

Twitter led to Tumblr, and Tumblr led to texting, et cetera.

Then me and Lauren actually met in person at a house party. Kenzie wasn't able to make it, unfortunately.

Guess who else was at said party?

Yep. The Fivers.

Guess how well we clicked with them?

Yep. Very well.

And once Kenzie raised enough money to move to Nashville on her own, we all pooled for an apartment in Tennessee.

So here we are today. Livin' the dream.

It's a crazy story, but it's true. I love all seven of these people so much. Except for the guitarist, Derek. He's too innocent.

I'm just kidding again.

Seriously, you're gonna have to get used to my sense of humor.

…

Two hours later, my paper was finally done. Just in time for dinner.

I stretched as I got up out of the chair. Something smelled delicious. Running a hand through my hair, I stepped into the small kitchen. Lauren was stirring a pot on the stove.

"What's for dinner?" I asked.

"Ramen noodles," she replied.

I rolled my eyes. The girl had an unearthly love for those stupid noodles. I, however, was getting sick of them. Luckily, today it looked like she was adding different spices to change the flavor. 'Bout time.

Kenzie strolled in, beelining for the fridge. "Hey! Who took my Mountain Dew?" she complained.

"Who do you think?" I said as I poked her side. "The Squabblers split it."

"Ugh. Stupid Squabblers." We called Sol and Jake the Squabblers for obvious reasons: out of everyone we knew, they bickered the most.

"Hey. My man is one of those 'Squabblers.' Take it easy," Lauren chimed in, stirring faster.

"Speak of the devil…" Kenzie said under her breath as Jacob strutted through our front door.

Lauren dropped her wooden spoon and ran out to meet him. He picked her up and swung her around in his arms, giggling and kissing her. Kenzie looked at me and made a gagging face.

"How was your day?" he asked. Probably better than mine was, with you distracting me so much, I thought.

"Great! How was yours?"

"Fantastic."

"Awesome. You look amazing."

"So do you!"

Kenzie was now pretending to slit her own throat as the happy couple rubbed noses. She was never into the mushy kind of love. Josh and I aren't really like that either. I guess it's just a Jauren thing. (Ugh. Yes. I hate that nickname. They think it's cute. Sheesh, they think EVERYTHING'S cute.)

Josh and I don't have a nickname. If we did, I guess it'd be Olosh. Or Jolivia? Either way, that's retarded.

Kenathan. Nathenzie. Retarded.

I heard a hissing noise and turned around. Seasoned water was boiling out of Lauren's precious ramen pot and all over the stove. And the counter. And the floor.

But did she notice? Of course not. She was too busy getting tongue from Jake.

UGH. I want to smack them sometimes.

Kenzie raised her eyebrows at me and waltzed up to Lauren. "Hey, I think dinner's ready," she smirked.

"Thanks," Lauren said, only half-paying attention. She glanced over at the stove, then shrieked and released her iron grip on her boyfriend. "MY NOODLES!"

Kenzie high-fived me. She was getting sick of ramen too.

Jacob grabbed some paper towels and helped Lauren clean up the mess. She burnt her fingers on the still-boiling water. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, owww," she whined.

"Oh, baby, are you okay?" Jacob cooed and kissed her fingers one by one.

Kenzie put a fake gun to her head.

"Well, looks like we'll be ordering in tonight," I said. "What do we feel like having?"

Lauren said "Pizza!" right as Kenzie said "Chinese!" and Jacob said "Pizza!"

"JINX!" the lovebirds yelled at the same time. "JINX! JINX! JINX!" Each couldn't seem to say jinx before the other did.

"Jinx!" Kenzie butted in. "You owe me a Mountain Dew." She pointed an accusatory finger at Jacob. He made his best "what-are-you-talking-about" face.

"So, am I ordering pizza then, or what?" I picked up a phone.

Lauren nodded. "Pizza is the best. Cheese, please."

Kenzie shrugged. "I guess so. Cheese is fine."

"Yes, I want the works. And please, no spiders this time," Jacob grinned at me and Lauren.

Lauren laughed as I rolled my eyes. Spiders. There had been mushrooms on his last pizza, and he had literally thrown it across the room because he thought they were spiders.

Weirdo. Adorable man, but weirdo.

I dialed the local pizza place and ordered two large pizzas, one cheese, and one supreme. As I hung up, there was a knock at the door.

"That can't be the delivery guy already," I said as I crossed the room to get to the door.

Upon opening it, I realized that my theory was correct. It was not the delivery guy.
