Zak opened his eyes, letting out a yelp of surprise as he fell out of his chair, still tucked into many blankets. Luckily he didnt hit his head, and the blankets stopped his fall rather quickly. With a groan, he shivered, squirming out of the blankets.

Zak stood up, dusting his knees off, and walked into the living room. He didnt bother wrapping himself in blankets, because they didnt help warm him up. The sun oozed through the windows of his house, illuminating the rooms.

He made his way to the kitchen, his stomach occasionally growling. Once Zak reached the kitchen, he got a bowl of cereal. He took his phone out, which had surprisingly stayed in his pocket. The boy sat down at a table, munching on his cereal and looking through Twitter, liking and retweeting fanart, and announcing that him and Darryl are going to Vidcon. Immedietly thousands of fans responded, excited.

Zak finished his breakfast rather quickly, putting his dishes away before going back into his room. He had two whole days to himself before he was able to see Darryl.

He opened Minecraft on his computer, playing for what felt like minutes but in reality he was playing for the whole day. It was twelve A.M before he knew it.

Once again, he drifted off to sleep in his chair, videos playing on his computer.

-The next morning-

Zak had an odd dream, about to tell Vincent about it, but just as he typed the first letter it vanished from his mind.

A surge of excitement came through him as he remembered Vidcon was today, then dissapeared just as fast. "No, its tomorrow." The excitement came again, a little weaker though, as he silently cheered for tomorrow.

Can I just sleep the whole day and night and wake up at the perfect time? Zak let out a muffled groan into his sleeve.

Then he realized what was playing through his headphones, a familiar voice shouting.

"oH MY GOODNESS, GAAAAH! WE WON! WE WON! SKEPPY WE WON!"

It was a clip from Darryl's Minecraft Monday stream, the one where they won. Zak couldnt help but smile to himself at his friends' happiness.

"SKEPPY, IF YOU WERE HERE ID KISS YOU RIGHT NOW. WE WON!"

Darryl chanted more things, screaming in excitement. Zak felt his smile grow bigger as Darryl kept screaming, and then the video ended. It immedietly played the next video, which was another clip of Darryl trying to run around and get screenies with everyone.

Zak watched as a few more videos played, mostly stream clips involving Darryl, Zak, and occassionally Vincent. Just when Zak was going to turn the computer off, a certain video played.

"Ohp, come up, Geppy! Whoop!" Darryl's giggling followed.

It was another stream clip, this time it was of Darryl and Zak playing Minecraft, where Zak's character was stuck in a hole, and Darryl's character kept placing and removing water before Zak's could get up, and Darryl kept giggling and having a great time.

Zak felt his face heat up as the clip continued, his heart jumping with every delighted squeak Darryl made.

His enjoyment, however, was interrupted by his stomach growling, snapping him back to reality. He suddenly felt the cold again, and let out a small whimper.

"Why does life have to be like this?" He put his head in his hands, before standing up to get food. The boy stumbled through the  short hallway, making his way to the kitchen again. Zak checked the time on his phone while he poured cereal in a bowl, reading the time.

1 P.M

Zak sighed.

Today's going to be a long day. But itll be worth it for tomorrow, for Bad.

He nearly dropped the carton of milk he had just picked up. Why did Darryl suddenly appear in his thoughts? Was Zak that excited to meet his friend?
