I Gotta Get Back to LA
(A/N: I changed Ocean's face claim from Kanna Hashimoto to Acacia Brinley)
Ocean's POV
I stepped out of the airport and took a deep breath before coughing from all the exhaust I inhaled. I looked around for a certain person. My parents said they were too busy to pick me up so a friend will be picking me up
I looked around and saw all the cars, taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts leave and pass by. I decided to sit down on a bench while I scroll through Instagram. I wonder who will pick me up. Occasionally I look up from my phone
10 minutes pass and I start to get impatient. I was about to call my parents before I heard some beautiful singing. "La de da da la de da da day! La de da da day!" The mysterious person sings. I recognize the song from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. I look up and I see a familiar face.
"Is that Mariah Rose Faith from Starkid?" I ask. I go up to her and see her nod. A smile grows on my face as we tightly embrace. "It's been years!" I say
"I know right! Your parents reached out to me to pick you up. I was supposed to meet some other Starkids at a Starbucks to talk about some things about an upcoming show but I had to be the first one you see," Mariah says
"What!? You ditched meeting up some people from Starkid just to pick me up? I could've just gotten an Uber or a Lyft!" I say in surprise
"Well when you spent hours upon hours with them, it doesn't seem too bad of a loss. Plus-"She checks the time. "I have 10 minutes to get there. They wouldn't mind me being late at all. I could get there only a little late if I take you with me if you don't mind. Or I can get there a little later and drop you off at home"
"I- I mean I wouldn't mind if you take me. If you think I wouldn't be a distraction. I could just get a table by myself and wait until you're done" I say. I wasn't complaining that I could meet people that I've adored for years it's just that I don't want to interrupt what they were doing
"You can do what you're comfortable with but I think it would be nice if I could introduce them to you. I have told them about you before and a few of them showed interest in you sooooo," Mariah said with a small smile. "But I totally understand if you'd rather go home, you are tired after all"
"Okay 1, just take me there us having a conversation has already made you late, and 2 you told them about me?"
"Well yeah, I was telling them about high school and I kinda just casually brought you up. Along with some of our other friends. Now come on, let's go" Mariah grabs my hand and drags me to her car
TIME SKIP
Mariah and I got out of her car and headed over to the entrance to Starbucks. "So who are you meeting specifically?" I ask Mariah
"Uh Nick and Matt Lang, Jeff, Robert, Jon, Jaime, Lauren, Joey, and Dylan. Some people couldn't make it" Mariah says. She reaches for the door handle
"I'll get you a drink first. What do you want?" I ask her, just so I can put off possibly embarrassing myself in front of basically my idols as much as possible
"Uh, just get me something sweet," Mariah says and we both walk in. She goes to the table everyone is sitting at and I go to the counter
3RD PERSON POV
"Hey, guys!" Mariah waves and walks to their table. Once there she sits down next to Robert.
"Hey Mariah," The others say
"I hope you don't mind but I brought that friend I had to pick up. The one that's a huge fan of Starkid," Mariah tells them and motions towards Ocean who's ordering at the counter
"It's no problem this meeting should be quick cause Matt and I need to leave soon," Nick says
Everyone nods and they start discussing the newest musical, Black Friday, with some of the cast members
Ocean waited off to the side to get the drinks and once the drinks were ready she walked over to Mariah. "Hey Mariah I got your drink," she says and places her drink on the table
"Oh thanks, Ocean," Mariah says and takes a sip. "Guys this is Ocean. The friend I brought. Ocean you know who they are already"
The others look at her and wave. "Oh! You look prettier in person than in the picture Mariah showed us!" Lauren says with a huge smile
"Thank you it means a lot coming from one of the people I looked up to for being one of the prettiest people on this Earth" Ocean says with a small blush
"Aww thank you!" Lauren says
Ocean looked at Robert and Robert looked at her. They locked eyes. The entire room seemed to melt away around them and everyone else became a blur. Ocean looked away from him
Ocean cleared her throat and says, "Well I'll just be over there. Sorry if I disturbed anything. It was very nice to meet you guys" She quickly went off to a table of the other side of the room
"She seems nice," Jaime says
"And familiar. . ." Robert whispers under his breath. He swore he saw her somewhere
"Anyway, let's get back to what we were talking about," Matt says and draws everyone their attention back to the meeting
TIME SKIP TO AFTER THE MEETING
Everyone stood up from their seats and waved bye. Some cleaned up and some took their things and left
Robert and Mariah stayed for a little after just to catch up and talk
"So my friend over there. She's been obsessed with you ever since she saw you in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals," Mariah nudged Robert. "When she first watched it she couldn't stop singing Show Stoppin Number when we called,"
"I mean, a lot of people were," Robert says. "And a lot of people are obsessed with me for some strange unknown reason,"
"Yeah, unknown," Mariah says. "Well what I'm saying is that you should talk to her I'm sure she would love that more than anything,"
Robert shrugged. "Why not," He stood up and they both walked over to Ocean who was just on her phone
"Hey Ocean the meeting is done let's go," Mariah says
Ocean stands up and pockets her phone
"Before you leave can I follow you on Instagram," Robert asks Ocean he already had Instagram opened. He handed his phone to Ocean
"Oh sure," Ocean says she takes his phone and typed in her username. She shows it to him and Robert takes his phone back
Robert pressed the follow button. "I'm gonna go now. See ya girls" he walked out of the Starbucks
"What just happened"
"You just got your celebrity crush to follow you. Maybe now I suppose it's a real crush now?" Mariah suggests
Ocean scoffed, "As if. I mean if I get to know him better maybe it will be a real crush but he's more of my idol than anything else."
Mariah wrapped an arm around Ocean's waist. "Come on let's get you home I bet you're pretty tired"
"Yeah" Ocean yawns and she wraps her arm around Mariah's waist
Both of them head back to the car and headed to Ocean's house
