Finn


He thought about sushi. He bloody loved sushi, the stuff was amazing, but there was one issue with that.

"I'd love to do sushi."

He wouldn't tell the others, he didn't want to burden anyone with him not having enough for any. He only had about 5 US dollars, he hadn't gotten his pounds converted yet. He would just only get a drink there. He wondered if they had boba tea?

Honey giggled at Addie's comment turning to Finn as he came running towards Addie mentioning that they should get something to eat, "Pizza do you know what my manager would do to me if I ate even a tiny bite he would bury me with my parents. And I don't think they would be happy to see me." Addie didn't seem to like the idea either, Honey sighed in relief after hearing sushi, "Yeah, Asians favorite side dish, Its on me. My uncle owns a great sushi place." she turned to Mal pointing a finger, "I still have to pay though...that man doesn't care if I'm his brother's daughter." Honey turned around to count how many of them there were, "What if the others ditched us? I am confident that Nate would do it 100%."

yeah I was just thinking that, maybe everyone hold on from posting for a bit until the one's who havnt posted yet get a chance.

 

[PortugalTM]

(Maybe we should do kind of a pause in between like, a scene transition? Like we're in the park, and before we get sushi, we let other people arrive, reply to them, and when all that happens, THEN we transition scenes

The smell of pancakes, protein shakes, cereal, and milk lingered throughout the Zavier household as Ryan casually slipped through the front door. He smirked while his father turned around to flip another flapjack off the pan. It was a known fact that Momma Zavier always left the front door unlocked from 7am-8am, thus giving Ryan the perfect opportunity to sneak in and surprise his clan.

+​

The day truly started off with Ryan rolling off his bed and hitting the ground at 5am. Very unconventional, however his roommates couldn’t help but pull a goodbye prank on the guy. After all, they knew he’d just shrug it off and take on his happy reunion day. Ryan abruptly woke up and instinctively glared at the two dudes who had just tilted his mattress. “…Y’all are lucky I don’t have time to get you back today,” The guy smiled a bit before pushing himself up from the ground to rapidly make his bed. It was reunion day for family and friends. What more could he ask for? Ryan’s two roommates laughed and watched Ryan get ready. He swiftly grabbed his towel off the rack and slung it over his shoulder before flipping a switch on. Josh and Bryce glanced at each other as their third roommate rushed in front of them. “Hey, if you got any good-looking-oof!” Josh was asking for a hookup until Ryan threw his shirt right at his face. Bryce cackled at the target practice session they had almost every morning.

Ryan had just finished a summer session course on his college campus for unit credits. His roommates however still had two more days. The ex-class president went into their shared restroom and swung the door shut. “This shirt is mine now!” Josh proclaimed helplessly watching Bryce snatch it away from him. The two heard the shower knobs screech and the water begin pouring down. “Eh, one less shirt to wash” Ryan replied through the bathroom door.

After completing his usual morning routine, Ryan loaded his bags into his car and drove to his family home. There were many thoughts running through his mind. Not just about his family, but also about his friends. He didn’t really have particular beef with any of them . . . or at least he thought he didn’t. They all just kind of stopped talking in the most gradual manner possible. YO BRO! Quit the deep thoughts! Ryan thought to himself as he turned the radio on.

+​

“Jakey!” Jessibel, Ryan’s five-year-old sister, immediately ran up to the guy and hugged him as he attempted to sneak across the hall. “Shh!” Ryan bent down and put a finger in front of his mouth to signal that he was on a secret mission. The adorable little girl’s eyes lit up with happiness just after the nineteen-year-old Lauren had woken her up for the big day. “Is he here yet?!” The seventeen-year-old Robin yelled out from his room. Ryan silently shook his head at his youngest sister. “NO! I just . . h-had a dream about him!” Jessibel lied grinning at her older brother. “You’re bad at lying . . . good” Ryan whispered patting her back and sending her down the stairs. He went into the twins’ room and found Benjamin sleeping on his basketball themed bed. It was always hardest to wake this kid up. In an instinct, Ryan scrolled to the Darth Vader March song and whipped out a lightsaber. “BENJI I AM YOUR BROTHER!” Ryan declared his presence in a lower voice immediately causing his youngest brother to jump out of bed and pretend to use “the force.”

After making his presence fully known to the household, Ryan pulled out of the driveway and dashed over to the park. He was running late. High school Ryan never ran late . . . unless something was up. Two minutes, I can make it. The thought was too soon especially once he heard his youngest brother’s voice, “Benji, I’m driving you back!” The little dude had sneakily crept into the back seat of the black Range Rover!

Following the whole back and forth scenario, Ryan raced to the park and nearly drifted into his parking spot. Gah tough luck, dude. Many thoughts were running through Ryan’s mind once he stepped out of his car and swung his jacket over his shoulder. He glanced at the rear car window momentarily to check if another sibling used his car as an escape pod. Alright, time to meet some strangers.

Garrick had been awaken at 4am earlier in the morning by older sister, who had needed help fixing her car before heading to work, so he had gone ahead and started to work on her car. It wasn't until 5:30 that he had finally been fixing the car, that when he finally got inside, everybody had been awake. While sitting at the table, waiting for his mother to bring in the food, he had to remember how long it had been since he had last been here. It had been 3 years since he had last been here, going back to Germany after having gotten scouted by an agent for a soccer team. Sure he didn't know if he had passed or not, but he has been waiting for so long to see if he got accepted into it or not. Once he had finished eating, he had decided to go shower before heading to the park where the time had reached 9am. As he practiced by himself, he had to think of his old friends, those that he had left behind and smiled as though about finally seeing them again after 3 years. It was exciting thinking about it but he had think if they would recognize him at all. Before he had left, he stood at 5'8 in height and now, he was 6'4, and his appearance had changed a lot. He wasn't the skinny guy anymore like back then.

Garrick was at the park all day since morning, training by himself until it came time to go see them again. He grabbed his bag, placing his cleats inside and putting his headphone back on his neck after taking them off the bag, before started to walk toward where the meeting was at. "I wonder how they have been?" He questioned himself, his German accent appearing. Just as he was giving up on finding them, he saw them all by the where they were gonna meet. "Ello guys." He said to all them as he walked toward them while placing his phone on his pocket.

Harlow Sienna Roy

Harlow grinned at Mallory as she called Harlow a "big timer", to which Harlow gave a simple shrug. Her life is flaunted enough on the internet so when people recognized her in person she didn't usually know how to reply, something she was very awkward with. She was just about to boast to the others when she felt a tickle on her hips which made her jump and squeak. She hadn't even heard Honey come up behind her. Shaking her head she gave the girl a swat before a quick hug.
With all the chattering and such it was hard to keep up with who, so she just gave a smile and stepped out of the circle, moving over to a swing set that was still in earshot so that she could still hear the conversation. The girl had barely realized how much she missed the town. She had been so focused on getting out, that she hadn't realized what she would miss.
The town was much smaller than LA. It was quiet, and slow, and the scenery was so much more pretty than the occasional palm tree. Seeing her family had been so good, her siblings were so big now. Did the high school still look the same? Was the theater where she had her first kiss still open? On her way in she had noticed a fairly new club, was that recently built? Maybe they could all pay a visit...
Lost in her thoughts, Harlow simply swung lightly on the leather seat. And though she was swinging, she didn't let her feet leave the ground (for fear her dress might become a little provocative *despite nude photo shoots she had been in*). The group talked as if they hadn't even been split apart. She missed this. And she missed them. But she didn't miss her old life. Maybe they could all build a new one? A new friendship? Who knows.

Location: On the swings at the park.

Cameron woke up a bit later than she probably should have, she really was never a morning person anyway, but she convinced herself that she was going to get up early and take more time to get ready, but nope that didn't happen. She was a bit nervous for what was going to happen, it had been years since she had seen any of her friends.

Cameron quickly put some gel in her short dark brown hair, she really never dressed like a girl and that hadn't changed. She threw on a black with floral design half sleeve button down and khakis and her white sneakers and walked out.

She drove to where everyone was supposed to meet "Too late to turn back now" her voice was a weird mix, it wasn't high pitched like most girls but wasn't deep enough for people to mistake her for a guy just by hearing her, but she was told many times that she had a nice voice.

She got out of the car and looked around the park, she noticed that most of them had kinda broken off into groups of their own to start talking, she just walked over, hoping that they would still recognize her and she to them.​

 

[neverbackdown]

As some of the group notice that Adeline had arrived and began to walk over Mallory smiled to herself. Although the initial hellos were a bit awkward it was nice to see everyone back talking as though they had never left. Being here with everyone was almost like they were still in school, while she preferred herself as a person now, she still missed her old friends and the fun they used to get up to. Mal snapped out of her thoughts when she heard someone approaching, she looked over towards the entrance of the park and watched as the man approached, she grinned and sprinted over to Ryan "Ryan" she said as she hugged him, when she stepped back from the hug she heard someone say hello, she looked behind Ryan to see Garrick approaching them. "Garrick" she said in greeting while giving him a hug before she had time to ask them anything she saw another person approaching the group, Mallory watched as the person got closer and realised it was Cameron. "Cameron hey" she said giving her a hug when cameron got closer to them. "How have yous been? What have yous been up to?" She directed at Garrick, Ryan and Cameron

Cameron smiled, she was thankful that someone remembered her. Many people had asked her before if she was going to transition and become a male, but she really didn't want to. It was strange because she dressed and acted like one but didn't want to do that to her body by full changing into one. She was perfectly happy the way she was, and if people had a problem with it then they didn't have to be around her.

" Hey how have you been " Cameron said with a smile, just seeing everyone made her happy, it brought back a lot of happy memories of high school, and heck who can say that they had positive memories of high school. There was one person that she really wanted to see, Harlow, the two of them were pretty close in high school, and Cameron had built a strong bond with her. But adult life got in the way and really wasn't able to keep in contact with her all that well. But she was hoping that she was there, "What have you guys been up to"​

Finn had looked towards three, the final three arrive. Ryan, Garrick, and Cameron.

"Garrick, Cameron, good to see you guys!"

After hellos to Garrick and Cameron, he shifted his gaze to Ryan. He considered Ryan one of his closest friends, even in the group of close friends.

"Romeo! It's been too long!"

He stepped towards Ryan, reaching out for a high five/hug.

"Ha. You look like you but taller if I'm being completely honest."

It was good to see everyone again....it did feel like someone was missing though...who all was left...thinking about it he realised there were still a few left. He wondered how far out they were, or if they were coming at all.

But for now most of them were here.

 

[Xanto]

Ryan slid his arms into his jacket and adjusted its collar before making his way to the rest of the group. “Sup,” He nodded at Cameron and Garrick as they simultaneously walked toward the rest of their friends. In all honesty, it took him a few seconds to register who they were especially since their physical appearances have surely changed since the last time they met. Before he could give a bro hug to Garrick or awkward side hug to Cameron, Ryan felt a woman’s body run into his. Mallory was in his arms giving him a brief hug. Don’t get him wrong, Ryan was going to hug her back until she ran to someone else. Unlikely for the usual Mal. Once again a series of thoughts ran through his mind. The guy listened to the newly evolved Mallory speak with confidence then raised a brow at Mallory’s questions. He paused for a few moments slightly squinting his eyes at Mallory, “How dare you small talk me, Mal.” “To think I was going to give this awesome stuff to you . . .” Ryan pulled out Mal’s favorite chocolate from his front jacket pocket before shaking his head in a joking manner.

All was well until a sudden sound made its way to Ryan’s ears. Ryan stopped in his tracks cringing at the most horrible sound he had ever heard in his life. Romeo. The description was over exaggerated, but that name flooded Ryan’s mind with irreplaceable memories. His eyes shifted their focus onto no other person but Finn . . with a mustache? “Finn, that stache is solid, man!” Ryan laughed a bit, reached out to Finn, and pulled him in for a bro hug before releasing him. Many things have happened in three years. His eyes glanced back and forth at Mal and Finn momentarily observing their changes. Ryan didn't really notice much changes in himself, but apparently other people did. According to his family, Ryan became "more chill and fun." Well, that's at least what Robin and Lauren said. He's had physical changes too that some people have previously brought up. Eh whatever everyone changes.

Harlow Sienna Roy

Harlow had snapped out of her peaceful thoughts when she heard three more voices, one she recognized very well. Of course, her voice had matured. Looking up from the sand she looked for the face that matched the voice. What Harlow found didn't disappoint. She hadn't changed much, but she had obviously found herself some. She looked good. Very good. Suddenly, Harlow felt self conscious. Where her body modifications noticeable? Did she look okay? Her hair right? Clothes right? Makeup? Biting her lip, she gripped the chain to the swing for a moment before standing and moving over to greet the three who had just rejoined the group.
"Hey guys, it's been a while..." Harlow managed to grin at the three of them - Cameron, Ryan, and Garrick. She let her eyes sweep over the three of them, noticing their changes. The boys being taller, filled in. Cameron's style development, her more so prominent curves. Quickly, Harlow moved her eyes away from the other girl, looking to Mallory "I liked the idea of sushi... I can't really have... greasy foods. Since I gave that stuff up it just makes me sick... Not that I don't crave it." she giggled with a shrug.
"Do any of you know when the club opened? Obviously within these three years, I think hanging out over there would be pretty fun, assuming you're allowed to drink." She added, asking the whole group the question, but mostly Mallory.
Waiting for an answer, Harlow self consciously played with the hem of her dress as she swayed lightly. She liked remembering her first "love". Cameron had taught her things and sort of broke Harlow out of a shell she hadn't realized she was in. Cameron had been the reason Harlow had motivated herself to work out. That is, until they drifted apart. She didn't know what this summer would bring but it kind of excited her...

Fred turned at Malory's mention of Addie almost immediately seeing his former girlfriend. He was stunned at the sight of her, if she was someone else he would have said she looked amazing in her new style. Yet to him knowing it was Addie, it was almost unnatural like she turned to someone else , he remembered a girl who barely needed to be dolled up to look pretty. He watched her speak to the others unsure of what to say himself to her, there was more confidence in her than before and he was glad his leaving might have had encouraged that in her at least. Still he would miss that shy sweet girl he had loved before.

His shock over Addie change seemed to go on longer than he realised as it seemed the conversation moved on to the other groups. He walked were the group had gathered, seeing other have arrived as well and smiled at the familiar faces. He looked at everyone that had gathered and only just remembered how big their group was, how did they ever managed to gather everyone like that. He heard something about sushi. "Yeah that sound good, Honey. I always liked Sushi, thought i still to add it to my cooking skills. Will your uncle be willing to show a few tricks?" He asked her.

 

[MoxxyMoxx]

Jasper smiled at Finn, "I haven't changed that much," he said, "My hair's grown out a bit more and I think I gained a bit more muscle but apart from that I'm pretty much the same." He continued, "I am in a band actually. Guitar and backing vocals. We just stopped touring a week ago but we're going back out there in a month or two." Jaspar was quite proud of his achievements.

He turned his head to see Cameron. She's changed a lot but he could still recognise her, "Cameron! Hey," he said smiling, "It's been too long." Jaspar knew who he used to be closest to in the group and that was Cameron and Finn. Finn could play guitar like him and that made them jam buds. Cameron's appearance just screamed rebel and Jaspar related to that. He liked hanging out with those to a lot more that the others in the nicest way possible.

 

[neverbackdown]

Mallory smiled at Cameron "I've been good just finished college" she said with ease "you look great" she added as she took the time to look her over, she realised that she had now told nearly everyone here that they look great but it was true. Everyone had changed a lot and they all looked comfortable and happy. Mallroy heard Ryan speak about her making small talk and laughed, realising her actually speaking without choking on her own words was probably a bit strange to witness. Her eyes widened when he took the bar out of his pocket and she gasped before an amused smile took over her features "please sir, can I have some" she did her best oliver twist impression as she held her hands out in front of her. After receiving the chocolate she hadn't time to say anything before Finn and Harlow had arrived over. She smiled to herself as Harlow and Cameron conversed and wondered if something might happen between them this summer. Since Mallory used to be very quiet she was an observed which meant she picked up on all the little aspects that used to happen in the group without being noticed by others. She looked at Ryan while he spoke to Finn, the smile still evident on her face, he really did look great. In school she used to have a crush on him, however noone really knew that or figurered it out since she seemed embarrased around everyone, it wasnt a very obvious thing. Mal snapped out of her thoughts when she realised that Harlow was talking to her "Yeah sushi sounds great, but lets wait a little bit longer just incase the others show" she suggested. "And no I've no idea when the club opened but I have every intention of going with you guys" Mallory smiled as she thought back to school and how she always avoided parties and anything to do with drinking, she'd give anything to party with them now

Bumble Bee

Honey had turned to answer Finns question, "No I've never had pizza before...or french fries, pop, popcorn etc." she started naming a few at the top of her head not really paying attention to Finns question anymore, turning back to face him nodding her head, "I can't name them all...there's too many. My manager says they taste like trash, although he eats pizza every Friday." Her manager was always like a father to her he was strict and never let her do anything it didn't even feel like she was rich because it was hard for her to leave for one minute without anyone worrying...Honey looked around her to check if one of her dad's body guards had followed her. Searching for anyone, in particular, Honey spotted Ryan, Garrick, and Cameron Mal had run up to them hugging and greeting each one of the late arriving friends. Honey on instinct was going to run and hug Garrick since she's been admiring him since forever although at this moment she had no clue how he turned out was he a soccer player or a trainer or maybe a couch- her thoughts had been interrupted by Fred turning around with a smile, "Are you kidding me he will be thrilled, he'll treat you like a son...now I would like to admire Garrick so if you please-" at that moment something had popped into Honeys head deciding to clear it up now, "We can't all fit in one car...Hey guys are we going walking? It really isn't that far."

Cameron smiled, she was excited to see everyone, it was nice that people didn't change. Her attention moved over to Harlow, she looked amazing, she hadn't changed much from high school, she still had that beautiful smile that Cam had loved. "How have you been" she said to Harlow as she walked over to her, she was in a sense lost for words. "Hey Jasper, what's up" she said, they had been close friends in the past but just with everything going on she wanted to take the time to get to know him again. "What's going on Ryan" she said before Mallory came running over taking his attention away.

"So where are we going, or are we just hanging out here all afternoon?" Cam asked​

ADELINE VERNET
As more of her old friends started to arrive, Adeline watched them quietly. She studied their interactions with each other, they all seemed to still get along quite well. It was surprising to her. It had been three years after all and with influences of new people, it seemed almost certain to her that no one would be the same. Adeline was wrong though, it seemed like, for the most part, everyone had pretty much stayed true to themselves. Breaking away form her thoughts, Adeline looked across her circle of friends, spotting Fred. It was obvious he was looking at her too, but Adeline pretended not to notice and pulled her phone out. She hadn't checked any of her social media in like and hour. As she scrolled through Instagram, the conversations of those around her filled her ears. Sure, she was happy that everyone got on so well still, but she herself just felt strange. Looking up from her phone for a second to answer Cameroon, who she hadn't talked to at all since she arrived.
"Sushi"
She said bluntly, referring to Cameron's question on where we were going.
"I think right now though, we are just waiting for the others to arrive"
Adeline added on, going back to her phone. She didn't have anything against Cameron, but too be honest, she was intimidated by her. I mean Cam was gorgeous... And nice. How is that possible?

It was good to see them all again, it just repeated in his head a lot. Finn was happy to see them again, and no matter how many times he thought about it, it didn't change. His old bud Ryan, his jam partner Jaspar, even Garrick and Mallory were here. It was great.

Bumblebee came over and asked if we were walking..

"I kind of assumed we were, I don't hav"e a car, I can't imagine Garrick has one. They don't let your bring cars as carry-on unfortunately."
