"Hannah, you are wanted in the gym after announcements." Mr. Baker told me.

"Okay." Today was a half day and we were having an assembly. Choir and band were moved to the small gym because the big gym was being used for the assembly. The school wanted to keep it a secret and the only person who knew about it was me, and of course the higher ups of staff knew as well.

The sound for announcements resonated in the room and Mr. Tailor started speaking. "Good morning. Today is May 5, 2017 and here are today's... major keys. There is an assembly today starting at nine. Leave your things in the classroom as you will be going back to get them after the assembly. There will be no hot lunch today because of the half day. Please stand for the pledge." We all stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance that we practically knew since kindergarten. "Everyone, have a great day."

After he said that, I waved goodbye to Mr. Baker and made my way to where I would normally be for choir. The band room and gymnasium were separated by a wall that could be folded up if needed for days like today. The gym doors had a sign covering the windows stating 'No students may enter unless given permission by a teacher.' They really wanted to keep it secret.

I opened the door and ran across the gym where five men were standing with my brother. I hugged the one nearest to me.

"Hannah!" They all yelled. I was so happy to see them. There in front of me stood Vanoss, MiniLadd, Wildcat, Lui Calibre, and Daithi de Nogla. They all gave me a hug and I even gave one to Sam, my eldest brother.

"Ohmgoursh!" I exclaimed. "You're actually here!"

"Yeah, we're all pretty excited for this." Wildcat told me.

"We figured we could take some time off to make a trip." Vanoss added.

I smiled so much.

"Where's Joey and Zack?" Lui asked.

I frowned a bit. "They're sick. They would have loved to finally meet you."

"We can stop by your house and meet them after." Mini stated. "And if we get sick from them, it'll be for a good cause." He yelled the last part.

"Still haven't grown since Pax, eh?" Nogla joked. He was pretty much a foot taller than me.

"I told you, I'll stay 5'5" forever." I playfully nudged him. "Lerious couldn't make it?"

The his all shook their heads. "But," my brother grabbed a backpack and handed it to me. "He wanted you to be the first one to have that."

I was confused until I opened the bag. First was a note: ' Hope you like it! ❤Del" Below that was a blue hoodie and a mask that looked just like the one his character wears. I was almost crying at the very thoughtful gift.
Just then, Mrs. Johnson, the principal, came and talked to the guys. "Nice to see you again, Sam." They shook hands and she greeted the rest. "Hannah has been very excited about this."

"We hope it helps." Evan told her.

She then remembered something. "Did you have a slideshow to present?"

Mini nodded. "We have it to the IT guy already."

"Looks like you got it settled then." She smiled.

"No offense, but we work with computers for a living." Tyler joked.

She laughed for a bit when Mr. Maroon asked to start the mic check.

The check lasted for a few minutes and everything was set up. By then it was almost time to start. I showed them where they could hide behind stage.

"I can't be seen by you guys after this." I sadly told them.

"Why not?" Lui asked me.

"Well," I started. "My friend, uh... frenemy, Cameron, started teasing me for knowing a lot about YouTubers. It went on for quite a few years until I couldn't take it any longer. I cut off all communications with him and was afraid to talk about YouTube around him. If he saw me with you, he'd think I was trying to hard to get your attention."

Sam came backstage. "Okay, we have about fifteen minutes."

"Change of plans." Evan announced. He told the new plan to everyone.

"I don't want to get unwanted attention." I told them.

"Hannah," Nogla put a hand on my shoulder. "You'll be alright." He smiled and I returned the gesture.

I ran out from backstage to grab my backpack. I left it near the edge of the steps off to the side of the stage.

"Hey, Hannah." Nicole said to me. She was grabbing a tissue from near where my backpack was. "Whatcha doing?"

"Oh, I'm helping." I smiled and ran backstage leaving her confused.

I got back just in time for my brother to say we're starting.

"Well, hello everybody." Mrs. Johnson said into the microphone. "Welcome to the assembly. This has been kept secret for a while because we have some really special guests here today. So, without further ado, former West High School graduate, Samuel Dickenson."

She handed the mic to my brother. "Hi, guys. As Mrs. Johnson said, I was a student here and I graduated in the second graduating class. Now, I got into filmography and editing as a job. Anyone out there watch YouTube?" A lot of hands were raised." Okay, um, have any of you uploaded a video on YouTube?" Only a few hands were raised. "Okay, some of you. Well, I decided to upload a video of me playing video games with some friends of mine, mostly Garry's Mod. I received a bunch more views and more subscribers with more of these videos. I made new friends and some of them made a little video for you guys."

Sam gestured to the screens above the stage where the video started. Music was playing and the first thing it showed was a man in an owl mask wearing all black clothes sitting on a couch. He was shown doing various poses on the couch. You could hear Nogla's "Yeah" followed by Evan's famous "Alright". Next came the Banana Bus song being sung by Wildcat. The video was an edited intro for the assembly with clips from their videos . Of course, they were all clean clips because, well, it was at a school.

Excitement increased during the video as people were very familiar with who was on the screen. The video ended with Delerious' laugh and the guys ran out from behind the stage in excitement. Students were cheering and really surprised that this was happening.

Wildcat took one of the few mics. "Thank you, thank you, you're all too kind."

"Hi, everybody!" Lui used his squeaker voice."

"First things first," Craig inputted. "We promised Mrs. Johnson that we would be talking about bullying. I know, it's boring but it was important enough for us to come from California and Ireland to talk about it. So we have a small skit for you guys to start us off."

We all got in our places. I took a deep breathe and entered from the right of the stage. I was wearing the mask and hoodie Lerious gave me. The hood was up and I walked to the middle of the stage when Lui flipped the hood off. Nogla grabbed the mask and held it far above my head. I had to jump to try and get it back but I wasn't nearly close to getting it.

"What a fangirl." Tyler said. "I bet you write fanfiction and tweet him every five minutes."

"You probably have all of his merch." Mini stated ."It's probably your entire closet."

I started pretending to cry, trying even more to grab the mask they were now passing around between themselves.

In squeaker voice, "Yeah, you probably watch his videos, too!" Lui claimed.

"Duh, Lui." Tyler told him flicking his head.

"His videos aren't even that good." Nogla spat.

"How would you know?" Even came from backstage. "You don't even edit your videos."

"Ooh, look," Mini exaggerated. "It's her boyfriend."

"Aww, H2OVanoss! How cute!" They all laughed at what Wildcat said. Mini leaned on Tyler for support from laughing.

"Aww, look," Evan mocked. "Minicat! Cute!" He then became serious. "Leave her alone."

"With pleasure." They all left and Lui tossed the mask. I reached for it and caught it, pulling it close to my chest.

Even helped me up. "Hey, I'm Evan, but you can call me..." He pulled out his owl mask from his back pocket and put it on. "...Vanoss."

I giggled and put on my Delerious mask. We walked off stage together as my school applauded. We all came back out and bowed. I gave them all a hug and went back to the edge of the stage to watch the rest of the assembly.

I ran to Wildcat and jumped into a hug. He twirled me around and landed me safely back down. "That was great. You'll have to send me that personal video from Delerious."

"I'm sure he will send it to you soon." Lui replied.

I looked at the kids leaving and saw my best friend. I jumped off the stage and ran to him. "Toby!" I called

He turned around and waved. "Hey."

"Where's Max?" I asked about our other friend.

"He had to leave." He told me. I nodded an okay. "So... the guys." He pointed.

"Oh, yeah. You wanna come meet them?" I asked excited.

"Yes!" He instantly responded. I smiled as we walked to the stage.

The guys were talking to Mrs. Johnson one last time. "You really didn't have to pay the rest for our bleachers." She said.

"It's a gift." Mini told her. "You don't return a gift."

She thanked them again and left.

"Guys," I spoke up. "meet my best friend, Toby."

He waved and they all said hi. "Hannah, are you cheating on me?" Evan asked.

"He's just a friend." I scolded.

"Oh. that's good. I thought HEvan was over with." Tyler had a hand over his chest.

"It's nice to meet you all but I have to go. My brother will probably be wondering where I am," Toby stepped off the stage. "Oh, Hannah, Cameron said he respects you a lot more now."

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah. You can sit with us again." He stated.

I felt a lot better now. "See you on Monday." I shouted as he left.

"Hey, Hannah," Sam got my attention. "Ice cream at Scoops?"

"Yeah!" I spent the rest of the day with the guys. We took plenty of pictures and laughed our hearts out.

"See you at VidCon." Evan said before leaving. he put up half of a heart with one hand and I completed it with mine.

Hey, guys. This was a story that I dreamt about on January 17. I loved it so mush that I decided to make a short story about it. I changed some names to protect the identity of my school and friends. I do not know if I will have any more awesome dreams like this one. My friend (Toby in the story) said that this would be pretty great if this actually happened. I agreed but it seems highly unlikely. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Soar on, Eagle Army!
