"Ladies and gentlemen thank you for flying with us and I hope you enjoy your stay in Paris."
Sohinki opened his eyes, and stretched, his muscles sore from sitting in the same positing for hours. He hated flying, even though he had to do it all the time. Sohinki got up, grabbing his carry on and exited the plane, heading down the steps to the terminal.
His parents were waiting for him, "That was a long flight," his dad commented, as they made their way to retrieve their luggage. Sohinki looked around the airport. It was weird being in a foreign one, and he could hear bits and pieces of conversations in French, "Now," his dad said, pulling out a French-English book, "We need to find a taxi driver and get to our hotel," he said, wandering towards the exit. His mother chuckled, and glanced at her son.
"Are you ok Matthew?" she asked.
"Yeah just tired," he answered, "We should probably follow dad and make sure he doesn't get into trouble," Sohinki said, and they followed him.
"You're leaving me in charge?"
Anthony had just finished explaining what was going to Wes the editor, "We'll try and play some games while we're over there but it might be difficult. So, you, Flitz and Max can do the shows this week."
"Uh..." Wes started, but Joven cut him off.
"Cab's almost here Anthony," he said.
"Uh..." Wes began again, but was cut off by Lasercorn.
"Have you seen my phone?" he asked, and Anthony tossed it to him, "Thanks!"
"Wait Anthony we can't do all the shows! I can't do Super Mari Fun Time, I'm not Mari!" Anthony shrugged.
"Dress Max up as her?" he suggested, and Wes gave him a look, "Hey it's a just a suggestion. I'm sure you'll figure it out," he said.
"ANTHONY!" Lasercorn yelled.
"Gotta run see you in a week!" Anthony sprinted out of the room, leaving poor Wes confused. He spun around in his seat.
"I guess it could be fun," he said.
Sohinki heard his phone vibrating, and groaned, "I just wanna sleep," he mumbled, reaching around for it on the nightstand. He picked it up, squinting, "What do you want Lasercorn?" he asked, yawning.
"I'm fine Sohinki how are you?" Sohinki rolled his eyes.
"You woke me up," he mumbled.
"Dude why are you sleeping? It's gorgeous outside!" Sohinki rolled over, and saw the sun shining through the curtains, "The sun is shining, the streets are busy! It's great!" Sohinki got out of bed. He was only wearing a Minecraft shirt and boxers.
"Where are you?" he asked, slowly walking over to the window.
"Look out your window!"
Sohinki walked over to the window, and moved the curtain aside. He blinked a few times, and saw the Smosh Games crew standing on the sidewalk, in front of his hotel.
In Paris, France.
They were in France.
As in, Europe.
Sohinki just stared at them, unable to speak or do anything thing. Lasercorn pointed towards the hotel, "Meet us in the lobby!" Lasercorn hung up, and Sohinki finally came to his senses.
What the hell were they doing in France?!
Sohinki quickly got dressed, grabbed the hotel key and made his way downstairs. His parents, as far as he knew, were still asleep. They were all tired from the long flight, and had decided not to explore the day they arrived, but to sleep instead.
Sohinki exited the elevator, "SOHINKI!" Lasercorn yelled, making everyone in the lobby turn and look at him. Sohinki felt his face going red, but he walked over to them anyways.
"Umm, hi?" he asked, confused, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Surprise!" Jovenshire said, "We decided to surprise you in France!"
"All of you?" he asked, and Jovenshire nodded.
"Why not?" Sohinki saw Lasercorn's goofy grin, Ian's dumb bowl haircut, Anthony's Nintendo themed backpack, and Mari's long dark hair.
Mari was here?
Sohinki felt himself going redder. Of course Mari is here, in the city of love, and I bet Joven and Lasercorn have something up their sleeve, he thought. Mari smiled at him, and he smiled back.
"So what's the plan?" Ian asked, "We gonna explore?"
W
"Well, me and my parents we..."
"WE GET TO MEET THE PARENTS?!" Ian exclaimed, once again making everyone turn and looked at him. Sohinki mumbled something, and turned towards the elevator, everyone following him, "I'm excited for this," he said, smiling. Jovenshire and Lasercorn exchanged a look.
"So they put us all in one room," he said, looking down at the key.
"Dibs on the bed!" Mari yelled.
"Dibs on not sharing a bed with Anthony!" Ian yelled, "You know those people writing the fanfics will come up with something," Anthony sighed.
"They'll probably come up with something anyways," he said, and they headed down the hall. Mari looked over her shoulder at Sohinki, and slowed her pace so she was walking next to him.
"Are you surprised?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. Why are you here anyways?" he asked, "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but..I mean...uh..." Sohinki felt himself go red again. He always tripped over his words when he was around Mari. Mari smiled.
"It was Lasercorn's idea," she explained, "He told us that you had mixed feelings about the trip, and he decided that you might feel better if we were here with you as well," Sohinki rolled his eyes.
"I didn't know Lasercorn cared for anything besides ball shots," he joked, and Mari giggled.
"Well you know him," she said, and they stopped at their room. Mari walked in, Sohinki behind her and looked around, "This is nice."
"There's only two beds," Anthony said, and looked at Joven, "Bunk mates? I don't want to read fanfics about this damn trip when we get back," Jovenshire laughed, and tossed his bag on a bed.
"Iancorn has been reunited!" Lasercorn shouted, and high fived Ian. Mari looked around.
"I guess I'll stay on the couch," she said.
"You can stay with me," Sohinki kinda blurted out, and he saw the looks Joven and Lasercorn gave each other. Damn it why did I say that? Mari looked at him a bit surprised, "It..It's just my parents got two rooms, and I'm in one by myself, so there's an extra bed. That's all I meant," he explained.
"Sure," Mari said, and Sohinki's heart fluttered. He handed her the key, and she left, heading down to the room.
Once Mari left the room, Jovenshire began whistling, "Damn Sokinky you got the moves!" he said.
"Shut up," he mumbled.
"Staying in the same room! Will you be able to keep your hands off each other?" Ian teased.
"Mari and Sohinki, sitting in a tree..." Anthony started.
"That's real mature guys,"
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" they all chanted, and Sohinki shook his head. He heard voices in the hall.
"It's nice to meet you Mari," his heart stopped, and he saw the look on his friends' faces. Lasercorn had his famous stare, Joven was smirking and Ian and Anthony both had creepy smirks on their faces. Sohinki leaned out, and, sure enough, Mari had run into his parents while going into his room. This is starting off great, he thought, and his dad saw.
"Ah Matt! We were looking for you," his dad said, walking over to his son, "You didn't tell us you had...company coming," his dad said, winking.
"I didn't know either," he said, and Anthony poked his head out.
"Hi ," he said, and Sohinki's dad turned around.
"Did you whole work come?" his dad asked, and Sohinki nodded. His dad went into the room, and began introducing himself to Sohinki's friends (though he used the term 'friend' lightly at this point). Mari went into the room, and his mom came over smiling.
"Mari's a nice girl," she said, and Sohinki nodded, "Why didn't you tell us about her?" she asked.
"Mom we're just friends," he answered, and his mom raised her eyebrows, "I have that extra bed, so I offered it to her so she didn't have to sleep on the couch with four smelly guys."
"Only Joven smells!" Lasercorn shouted, and his mom chuckled.
"So I assume they'll be joining us for breakfast?" she asked. Lasercorn poked his head out.
"Breakfast? I'm starved!"
"Me too!"
"Ooo I'm gonna get croissants!" Sohinki mentally slapped himself.
This was going to be a long week.
Oh no poor Sohinki! He's going to get quite a headache with the Fantastic four trying to get him and Mari together. And as for Wes, well...we shall see in the next chapter!
Peace!
