Picture Perfect

"We have to go to California, Skye. We're moving."

I opened my mouth wide enough to show disbelief at my big brother. "What?"

"I said we're moving, to California; to Sacramento, to be exact."

"Wait; let me get this straight Mike; why are you suddenly telling me that we're moving to an unfamiliar place?"

Mike sighed as he sat beside me. "Skye… I'm pretty sure you're matured enough for a twenty-four year old woman to understand my situation…"

I sighed. "Yeah Mike, I know; but from all of the places; why Sacramento?"

He chuckled as he patted my head lightly. "You'll see, my dear Skye."

What was that supposed to mean?

We're going to move to Sacramento by tomorrow. Things are pretty fast when Mike decides to do stuff. I knew I should have left him all alone.

I was packing all of my stuff when my phone suddenly rang.

It's from an unfamiliar number…

I decided to ignore it; that's what I do when I receive unfamiliar phone calls.

Ring.

Ignore.

Ring.

Ignore.

And for the fourth time straight, I finally gave it up.

"Hello. Who is this?" I suddenly shouted at the receiver.

"Uh, yeah, is this Skye Clover Johnson?"

My mind went blank when I heard this person's voice. It sounded so familiar; I just can't figure out whom is it…

"It's me, speaking. Who are you again?"

"Oh, yeah; I'm sorry. I'm Ian Hecox, from uh, Sacramento, I guess."

If you could hear a confused look at the phone, this guy would have been deaf.

"Okay, that sounds so creepy. Who are you and why do you know me?"

"Uh, well, I think your brother hasn't told you yet, has he?"

"About?"

"About me and my best friend being your neighbours, and your landlords!"

"What the heck…?"

"Just tell Mike that we are going to meet you at a park called Henschel Park tomorrow at 9 in the morning. We're going to escort you guys to your new house. See you!"

"Wait!" Oh crap, he hung up.

"MIKE!" I screamed as I approach him. He gave me the confused look.

"What is it now, Skye?"

"WHO THE HECK IS IAN HECOX?"

"Oh, Ian called you already? That's great! Where are we meeting him?" Mike said with a very calm, yet annoying voice.

"Mike, are you even listening to me?"

"He's one of our landlords, Ian Hecox. I'm surprised you do not know him since he's one of the famous YouTubers."

Ian Hecox… Wait a minute…

"Don't tell me you're watching random YouTube stars Mike… Ian's from Smosh; and his best friend is…"

Oh no. Mike grinned at me when I realized that we're going to meet them, and not to mention, will be our landlords…

"Dude, have you been drinking again?"

I have to say; I'm pretty excited to go there. Not to mention I have a huge fan girl crush on Anthony Padilla, and I really admire Smosh, this have to be the greatest gift that Mike could give to me. I almost died of excitement while he is driving.

"I can't believe you, Mike. Why are you going this?"

I can see him smile. "I know you've always admired Smosh ever since dad and mom got divorced… I've noticed that they became your source of your escape. I want you to get close to them, even in this kind of way."

I have to admit, he actually knows me. Everything he said is all true. Yeah, I got depressed over the fact that I can't see my mom anymore, and I have to live with my dad and him, but, ever since I knew about YouTube and Smosh, they saved me.

"Thanks Mike. You really don't have to do this…"

He smiled to me. "You deserve this, Skye."

I blushed as we went on.

"This is the park… right?" I said as we try to look for Ian and Anthony everywhere.

"They should be here already… I mean, we're 15 minutes late anyways."

I sighed as I try to look for them. "Seriously, there's no sign of them."

As I try to go to the park's playground, someone covered my eyes with his hands. "Guess who?"

His voice sounds so familiar…

"I-Ian…?"

"Nope; guess again!"

"Are you kidding me? Your voice is clearly Ian's!"

"But Ian's not the one who's covering your eyes!"

I gasped. "A-A-Anthony….?"

He jumped in front of me as he screamed, "Right!"

I blushed; he chuckled as Ian went beside him. "Welcome to Sacramento, Skye!" They said in unison. They're like twins; except… they're not.

"Where's your brother?" Ian said as he tries to search for him.

"Dammit, he might ditch me." I mumbled.

"He what?" Anthony said as he went closer to my face; he's looking into my eyes.

He has pretty brown eyes…

I backed out immediately as I try to explain. "N-nothing; he might go somewhere else."

Ian and Anthony exchanged looks. "Then how are we going to show you guys your new house?"

"I'll call him, I guess…"

Ian and Anthony patiently waited as I try to contact Mike.

"Hello?"

"Don't 'hello' me Mike; where are you?"

"What do you mean where am I? I'm right behind you!"

I turned around as I saw him, waving like an idiot. I hung up.

"Seriously…"

Ian and Anthony cracked up as they saw Mike. "You guys are probably the best people to live at our old house!" Ian said to us.

"Hey Mike! Your sister is really pissed! Let's go!" Anthony screamed.

"Are you guys this crazy in real life?" I casually asked Ian as we went on to our new house.

"Oh please; get used to this."

I gave him a really, confused look. He patted my head as we continue to go on our way.

"Oh, my dear, dear Skye. You're so cute when you're like that." Ian said as he put his hand onto my shoulder; we look like a couple.

"I am not cute." I gave him a death stare.

"Yes, you are."

"Hey Ian; I know you're cool and all, but if you try to hit on my sister, can't promise you that you're going to see the sun once again." Mike warned Ian from behind. I chuckled as Ian removed his hand.

"Okay, fine."

"Well, I guess we're here!" Anthony declared as we saw a pretty house. "As what we told you Mike, this house has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchen and dining room, a garage, and a pretty neat swimming pool. You sure are rich to afford this house. And yeah, our house is just right across the street, so you couldn't escape from doing bad things at this house. It's still ours until you haven't paid this in full, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Can I have the keys now?" Mike demanded.

"Okay, fine, jeez." Anthony said to Mike as he gave the keys.

As we went inside, all of our stuff are there, but everything is out of place.

"I guess we could help with your mess?" Ian said as he saw all of our things scattered everywhere.

"Uh, you really don't have to…" I muttered.

"Come on, just you and your irresponsible brother will fix this? Please, accept our offer." Anthony said as they move some stuff.

I and Mike just stood there with amusement. They're so nice.

They're actually too nice. I wonder why.

And this chapter sucks, trust me; I will get better. :D Please review!
