Adopted by Zalfie

51. Returning

Let's pretend this story is set in 2017

"Despacito" I sing.
"RANDOM SPANISH WORDS" Alfie shouts from his room.
I giggle and return to setting up my lights. I'm probably going to get copyrighted if I have this song in while filming. I turn it off. I am setting up for a video. This is the first video done since the incident. Alfie and Zoë have still uploaded I place my camera on the tripod, press record and sit down.
"Have I shrunk?" I accidentally question out loud.
"Probably" Alfie shrugs walking in with his vlogging camera.
"AHAHAHA" Alfie laughs.
"I know" I nod.
Zoe wasn't here, she was visiting Louise. Alfie set the camera so you could see my face and closed the door. I think a sip of my lemonade and take a deep breath.
"Hi unicorns, it's Evie, and I'm back. Wow it's been two months. Two whole months. I'm really sorry. A lot has been going on. Firstly I move rooms!" I cheer as I motion my hands around "Most I am able to share, but I'd rather not. You may have seen stuff on Alfie's channel. I just wanna say, that I'm a child, I might not upload every week on time I could be playing outside in this beautiful weather I don't want to be stuck inside. But anyway. I'M BACK!!!!"
I switch off my camera,lights and walked downstairs. I made myself some crunchy nut and walked over to the table. I decide to read a few DMs

alabamaluellabarker: Hi i'm Alabama

eeevieeedeyes: Hi im Evie

alabamaluellabarker: I really like your youtube videos                                 

eeevieedeyes; I like yours too

alabamaluellabarker: Im going to be in brighton for two weeks in a week, i was wondering if you would like to hang out?

eeevieeedeyes: I'll ask

"Alfie?" I say walking into the cosy room.

"Whats up?" he asks looking up from his phone.

"Alabama Barker was DM'ing me and she was wondering whether we could hang out around next week?" I say.

"Travis was just texting me the same thing" He chuckles.

"So thats a yes?" i question hopefully.

"Yes that is a yes" He laughs.

I run back to my phone and quickly type a reply

eeevieeedeyes:IM ALLOWED

alabamaluellabarker: I have a feeling we are going to be great friends. wanna facetime?

eeevieeedeyes: I look horrible tho

alabamaluellabarker: Me too. dont worry i wont judge.

eeevieeedeyes: Okay then

alabamaluellabarker: here is my email blalalalalalalalalallaalkalaalalal.com

eeevieeedeyes: this is mine dgkghjdfhfjjwhdsfkehfho.com

I type Alabams email into the bar on facetime. Suddenly I get called by her.

"heelloow" She greets in a weird voice.

I giggle and wave.

"what time is it over there?" She asks.

"10 am" I shrug taking a sup from my lemonade.

"But your fully dressed. Makeup done?" She questions.

"youtuber life" I laugh running out of my seat so she can see my pj bottems"
"I know" she laughs showing me her pj bottems.
I think we both noticed we were wearing blue pj shorts with roses, because at the same time we both screecheed "TWINS"
"SHUT UP ALABAMA" A boys voice rings through the speaker.
"Evie this is Landon. Landon this is Evie. He's my brother." Alabama smiles.
"hiii" I chirp after taking another sup from my lemonade.
"hi" He says climbing on to Alabamas bed.
"Get off" Alabama groans attempting to push him off.
"How can I leave such a wonderful sight. My sister socialising" He laughs.
I wink at Alabama.
"What's that behind you?" I jokingly ask.
"What?" He says turning around.
Alabama pushes him off the bed.
"That was a good one" Landon laughs from the floor.
"Leave" Alabama orders.
"Sorry about him" She rolls her eyes once he has left.
"Is okay" I smile.
"Alabama Dinner!" Travis calls.
"Coming" She shouts back.
"Talk to you later?" She asks.
"Sure. Byeeeeeeeeee" I smile hanging up.
I pick up my bowl and bring it over to the sink. I wash it and all the other dishes. I dry them and put them away. I kinda like to have a clean space. Don't ask why. I walk outside and desire to do a bit of dance practice. It's been awhile so I don't know if I will be as flexible. I start by stretching on the grass. I think I've stretched enough so I do and elbow stand. Simple but just to start off. I do a few cartwheels, round offs stuff like that. Then I go on the trampoline. I decide to start an ariel. I make sure its long enough and its just about long enough to do a front ariel. I just about manage to land it so I do some flips, to get me non panicky in the air. I get off and put some music on.
I end up putting on Despacito.
"Again" Alfie groans. sticking his head out the door surprising while I'm in the air.
"Ahhh" I scream landing on my backside. 
"Are you okay?" He quickly says running over.
"Yeah" I breath.
"You gave me a fright then" He smiles ruffling my hear. "Zoë does not need to know that I nearly killed you."
"You didn't nearly kill me" I shake my head nudging his hand away.
"Thanks for cleaning the kitchen. You really didn't have to" He dogs climbing up onto the trampoline.
"It's okay. I need to do something around here" I smile.
"So your asking for chores" He jokes.
"Is that my phone ringing" I joke.
He laughs and shakes his head.
"Let's go out for the day" He smiles lifting me off the trampoline.
"Where?" I question.
"Anywhere" He smiles spreading his arms out.
"America?" I question.
"Actually maybe stay in Brighton, England and get your passport sorted out." He says touching my nose.
"How many more days?" I ask.
"How many more days till the holiday" I say walking in behind Alfie.
"Twenty one exa
