Not only did my head feel like it was cut off and duct taped back on, I woke up with a body in front of me and a body behind me. Beginning to look around I realized that David had his arms wrapped around me and I had my arms around Evie. I tapped her on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "what are you doing in here?"

Evie yawned and turned around. "I got scared..."

"Brooklynn is out there, why didn't you go to her?"

"She pushed me out of the bed."

I took a deep breath. "Get out of my bed, go back to yours, I want to sleep a little bit more before I have to go work."

She began making puppy noises I haven't heard Stark do in a while.

"Nope. Go." I pointed towards my door, looking out I saw Stark up against Lynn.

She frowned and rolled out of my bed, put my door to a crack, and slumped away to the living room.

I flipped around and kissed David on his forehead. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "What time is it?"

"It's about 7:30..." I said checking my phone, I set it back on my end table.

"Back to bed?" David suggested rolling onto his back.

"I don't know if I'll be able to fall back asleep." I rested on his chest taking in his scent and yawned.

"We can just relax for a bit then. Tell me about your childhood or something. Maybe how your friends got in your apartment." David propped his chin on the top of my head.

"This is going to be an incredibly sad story, okay?" I felt him nod. "When I first moved here to go to school a little over two years ago I was miserable. I wasn't making any friends at school, to be honest no one really talked to me and it's almost the same now. I got a terrible job in the like ghetto at a cheap gas station. It was so bad I had to stand behind bullet proof glass that had many bullet holes. It was just awful." I sighed. "Anyways, I was always calling Brooklynn or Evie just in complete hysterics. For an extra point to cheer me up they would write me letters and I'd write them back. Well eventually I wrote to them telling them that once they got the money to road trip out here and in the envelope there was a key to my apartment. They try to make a trip out once a year, this is their third visit." I shut my eyes and pressed myself again David. "It was rough living out here at first but I managed to get a better job later on and people sometimes do talk to me at school. But that job fired me a couple months ago because my schedule just wasn't working out. Fighting for the internship at Smosh was honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me when I moved out here."

"I'm glad to hear it. You joining us at Smosh is definitely in my top five list of most amazing things." David kissed the top of my head. "We can do story time again soon, let's get some more rest before work." With that we dozed off for a morning power nap before work.

Friday's are always interesting at work. Not only was the crew suspicious of David and I last night, we had a special guest in the building for a Raging Bonus and a Backseat Gaming shoot they were doing. I walked into the Games room and the fangirl inside of me bloomed. After everything that's happened I forgot about this.

"With us today we have Youtube superstar and TV actor for the Cartoon Network is Toby Tobuscus Turner!" Joven announced while sitting in front of the camera and TV screen.

Toby rolled his chair next to Joven with his signature 'wee' noise and crashed into him. "It is now time for the Backseat Gaming to commence. It shall be most exciting."

I had to be quiet because they were filming but I was incredibly excited to talk with him after. I walked over to my desk, not thinking of much at all seeing as I was star struck to find my desk completely redone. I had the two screens, the computer with everything I could ever want and need on it, a headset, gaming mouse, and a camera mounted in between the screens. My chair had been updated to a great new office chair just like the others. The camera was rolling but something like this was too hard to control my excitement for. I let out a squeak before Mari covered my mouth.

"Congrats!" She whispered. "We can talk in the kitchen, come on." Mari grabbed my wrist and ever so quietly dragged me out of the room into the kitchen, leaving David in the Games office. "First things first. You and David, huh?"

I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "What uh, what do you mean?"

She grabbed a napkin, a couple of donuts, and sat me down at one of the tables. "Come one now, let's be real here. You guys came together to dinner last night, left together, same car, actually, you left work together yesterday. David walked you out and not even five minutes later he came in all flustered and grabbed his stuff. I have not seen him that energetic and excited since probably E3. Don't lie to me girl, I know what's up."

I began to blush. "I mean, I guess, yeah. We've been hanging out and stuff...it's kind of on the DL though."

Raising her eyebrows she said, "Down low, eh? I mean, alright. I'll wait for you guys to tell us. But I hear Joven kind of has a thing for you too. So be careful."

My face was painted with confused. "Why? I mean, thanks for the warning but...Joshua? No way."

With donut in hand and in her mouth Mari spoke again. "You didn't hear it from me. Now let's talk about this desk situation. You aren't going to be on camera just yet so don't go thinking that. You are going to be helping edit videos and stuff like that, maybe help with lights and sound, and you're still going to do everything you did before like coffee runs, copying papers, interny stuff until we can get another one. You might be on individual channel videos though, like when Matt plays Dota II and stuff he might ask you to play. Stuff like that. You've got a while to transition into your role here. Don't worry, it'll happen eventually. Just like Wes, it took him a while before he started being featured in Grand Theft Smosh and stuff like that."

I took a deep breath and began to process everything she just said. "I honestly don't mind being a background body. Just working here is a privilege. I'm just incredibly thankful for everything."

"You must be such an angel." Mari let out a small laugh. "Now let's go mess with the guys." I nodded in agreement and followed Mari to the fridge. "I asked for six donuts without filling. We're going to fill them up with random contents of this fridge, then cover the ends with whipped cream to make them look legit."

"Sriracha, mustard, mayo, relish, pure butter, and ranch." I said quickly. "Or maybe mix them all together."

"Maybe I lied about the angel part, you can be evil. Let me grab my camera so we can film this master plan." Mari ran to the office and ran back quickly. Turning it on and pressing record she began to speak. "Hey guys, Mari here. Today I'm with a new addition to the Smosh office..."

The camera pointed at me. "Hey friends, I'm Arria!" I grinned.

"We're going to mess with the Games guys." She explained the plan to them. "Arria is going to choose the contents and mix them together."

"Well first we have some sriracha, you always need to have that." I squirted a lot into the bowl. "Then I have some mustard, mayo, sweet pickle relish, a stick of melted butter, and ranch. I'm going to mix this all together, hopefully it's a good consistency to put into a donut..."

As I started mixing everything in the bowl Mari took the camera to the donuts. "We have a couple with chocolate frosting, some with lemon, and a couple just plain frosting. This should get pretty interesting." She walked back over to me. I waved. "You have a good camera presence Arria, you're doing great. Isn't she doing great guys?"

"I guess so." I laughed. "Alright time to fill these bad boys." I looked at the bowl and started putting it into a plastic bag. "Wow this is absolutely rancid."

Mari took a sniff and made a very disgusting face. "I can't wait." She grabbed the whipped cream and after I filled the middle she filled the end, showing the viewers and laughing maniacally. She set the last one in the box. "The guys should be done filming by now." We traded, I now had the camera and Mari held the box of donuts. She began to sing. "Oh boys, we have some breakfast for you!"

Author's Note: Thank you guys for so patiently waiting another day for this. I will post again tomorrow, probably late at night like always. I hope this chapter was worth it. We get a little Tobuscus, and we'll see more of him tomorrow too! Reactions to this donut surprise will be hilarious, I hope. You guys are amazing, thank you so much for everything and I guess I'll talk to you again tomorrow!

Love,
