As soon as Olivia was out of the building, she called McKenzie and told her to come pick her up.
"I don't know where Joey lives," McKenzie complained. "Can't he give you a ride home? I mean, he took you there, he should take you home."
"I'd rather you did. And, uh, he lives in those apartments just outside the east side of town," Olivia said, leaning against the wall of Joey's building.
"Fine. I'll come get you. But I expect a full explanation, about why you were gone for three days, and why Joey can't take you home."
"Alright, I'll explain when you get here." Olivia hung up and shoved her phone in her pocket. She slid down the wall, knowing it'd be a bit before McKenzie got there. She'd only just realized that Joey had the good sense to not come and follow her. Olivia best cooled down when she was alone. Even now, after it'd only been a few minutes, she felt she'd overreacted. She'd wait a day or two, then call Joey and apologize, unless he called her first.
After about ten minutes, McKenzie pulled up in her car and unlocked the door. Olivia pushed herself off the wall and got into the car.
"Alright, you're going to explain everything while I drive," McKenzie stated, pulling away from the building.
"Okay, everything I'm going to tell you isn't gonna sound true, but I swear it is," Olivia said cautiously.
"Okay, go ahead."
"I guess I'll start from the beginning… You know those abductions we were talking about when mom was here? Well, people were being abducted by aliens. Before you interrupt, let me finish. I went to Joey's rehearsal… Oh, Jim is a Starkid too, just thought I'd let you know. Anyway, I went to the rehearsal, then when I was out in the hall, the spaceship landed on top of the building. A bunch of them just swarmed in there and started attacking. Uh, after this huge battle, they ended up taking me and Sarah, and knocked Joey out. Sarah and I got away after a few hours, and were then knocked out. Joey and Joe came to get us, and took us to the hospital. I was out for two days, then last night Joey took me back to his house," Olivia said, knowing this all sounded like a fib.
"Haha, very funny, now tell me what really happened," McKenzie said, glancing at Olivia.
"It's true, Kenzie. I've never lied to you, why would I lie now?"
"You wouldn't, but that all sounds too fake to be true."
"It's all true though. I don't know how else to make you believe me."
"I'll just go on, thinking you're crazy until you wanna tell me the truth," McKenzie said, shaking her head.
"Fine, don't believe me… But I will prove it. Oh, by the way, do we have gauze and or bandages at home?"
"Why?"
"I need to switch them out…" Olivia said, looking at her arm.
"What happened?"
"The aliens shot me with one of their lasers… My arm just has a gash, and it refuses to stop bleeding."
"Oh, haha, very funny. But, yeah, we do have gauze and bandages."
The rest of the car ride passed in silence, and when they arrived home, Olivia and McKenzie got out of the car and headed inside. Olivia immediately went to go shower, and once she'd finished, she changed the wrappings on her arm. She went downstairs, pulled out her laptop, and called McKenzie over.
"What do you want now?" McKenzie asked, plopping herself down on the couch beside Olivia.
"We're going to watch the Starkid Productions," Olivia said, going to Youtube and typing in the word 'Starkid.'
"Why? I don't wanna…" McKenzie complained, about to stand up.
"Jim's a Starkid, McKenzie. Remember?"
"Oh, right. Okay, I'll watch." McKenzie seemed to be interested now, clearly wanting to know more about the guy she'd been dating for a few weeks now.
Olivia clicked on one of the play lists, one titled "A Very Potter Musical," which was what the Starkids were basing A Very Potter Threequel off of.
The show opened with the curly-haired Darren Criss, who started the intro song. After about two and a half minutes, Joey made an appearance, a red wig on his head, and dressed in Gryffindor house clothing. Olivia immediately burst into laughter at it. He seemed so much younger, but still just as good-looking.
"Can I assume that's Joey?" McKenzie asked. Before Olivia could answer, she nodded. "Yep, that's his crooked jaw."
Olivia and McKenzie spent the rest of the day watching A Very Potter Musical and Sequel, followed by Me and My Dick, which was basically about singing and dancing genitalia, then Starship. After that, they decided they'd watch the last two, Little White Lie and Holy Musical B man, the next day. Olivia went to bed, stomach hurting from all the laughing, at around midnight.
The next day, she woke up and decided it'd be smart to call Joey. She pulled out her phone, put his number in, and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?" Olivia heard him ask, obviously confused about why she was calling him.
"Hey, uh, Joey? I know I overreacted yesterday, and I'm sorry," Olivia said, confidently.
"It's fine. I get it, don't worry. Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to go on another double date? Tomorrow?"
"Oh, yeah, I'd love to!"
"Alright, I'll pick you up around seven. It's a fancy place, so dress fancy."
"Okay, I will. And, uh, seven in the morning?"
"No, at night, silly." Joey hung up with a chuckle.
