A tired Jade Harley rolled over and slammed her fist into her alarm clock. She wasn't much of a morning person and it was a Saturday so naturally she wondered, 'Why the hell was my alarm set so early today?' Then it hit her. Today, she would be getting on a plane to meet her long-time best friend (and crush) Dave Strider. She had never been more excited. After years of messaging each other on Pesterchum and the occasional Skype calls, she would finally be meeting him. Her bags were already packed and she had the perfect outfit picked out. She would wear her 3AM dress to the airport and when she reached his house, she would change into a more comfortable (but still stylish) outfit that consisted of blue skinny jeans and a pink Squiddles T-shirt. She was just out the door, plane ticket in hand, when her phone buzzed in her purse.

"wake up harley" read the text message from none other than Dave Strider. She giggled and rolled her eyes. She had been preparing for this moment ever since she had saved up enough for the plane ticket. She'd had a hard time falling asleep the previous night so it was no surprise that she woke up the moment her alarm clock rang, even if she couldn't remember why she was awake so early.

"i'm already out the door, nice try Strider" she responded. She bent down to adjust her black strappy heels, something she otherwise never would've worn, and unlocked her bright green car. It had been a 16th birthday present from her ectobrother and it was probably the nicest thing she owned. She started the engine and sped (not really sped, the black haired girl always made sure to pay attention to the speed limit and go no faster or slower than the sign told her to) to the airport. She ran as best as she could in the heels to check in and was sent to her gate where she waited anxiously. She bit her lip and looked herself over in her phones screen.

The plane ride for Jade was quite boring and she went through it without eating. Her stomach was flip-flopping and she started to have second thoughts about what she was gonna do. 'What if Dave already has a girlfriend?' She wondered. It was highly possible, he was extremely attractive. She sighed deeply and leaned her head back, her mess of tangled black hair that she somehow managed to tame slightly sort of serving as a pillow. Her bright green eyelids drooped shut and her mind wandered.
