A/N As promised the sequel to unnecessary editing ...

It started with an edit, one single edit and a few photographs. That's all that made her an employee at Hi5 studios, one small edit that saved her life.

-:-

Rosie spent hours packing for her move to Los Angeles, longer than she'd ever spent packing in her entire life.

A lot had been going on in the last few months, for example:

Her uncle Peter had been given practice prosthetic's for at home, Rosie's parents had already moved out to LA to start up their cafe Haymay and Davis. And last but most importantly she had formed some really good relationships with people at Hi5.

Her life is actually going great now, in fact she was more than ready for the move in two days. She hasn't told anyone at Hi5 that she was moving so soon, she wanted to just walk into the office one day and surprise them all.

"Rosie!" Her uncle yelled at her from where he was stood in the doorway of his newly painted bedroom.

Before they moved they were told to paint all coloured walls white so it was like a new slate before the new family moved in, because apparently when a family moves into a home they didn't want to think of the family that lived there before them.

Rosie wandered over to where her uncle was stood on his prosthetics with a smile on his face.

"Guess what?" He paused for effect, "I just hit 6,000 followers on twitter." He was so happy to get that many on twitter but because Rosie had a fan account for her old favourite YouTuber Markiplier, after she hit 7,000 followers on that account she lost interest and the account became inactive, she didn't really find her uncles achievement all that impressive.

"You got me to stop packing to tell me that." Rosie said in an unimpressed tone. She still had so much to pack, and in two days everything was going to be a close call.

"Yes, well that and Matt's been calling you for the past twenty minutes." Peter informed her, handing her, her phone that had been left on the kitchen counter all morning.

"Oh thanks." She said, pressing the return call button on Matt's name, which in her phone was 'Boss man' with a black heart. The heart was there because they were joking around one night sending all their recent emoji's to each other and Matt's keyboard went weird and wouldn't stop sending black hearts to everyone in his contacts, not just Rosie.

"Hey Matt, I just got home, what's up?" Rosie lied, this is around the time she would normally be getting home, if she hadn't finished going to school a few days ago so she could start packing early.

"I was just calling to tell you I'll give you those two weeks off you wanted." Matt told her, she wanted to get to know the area she lived in before she started to work in the office.

"Really? Thank you, I'm helping my uncle get his stuff shipped over to America, before we move over to Los Angeles for good." Rosie told him with a huge smile on her face. Also she was trying to give him enough information without revealing anything.

"Okay well I guess I'll edit my own videos for the next few weeks then" Matt told her, feigning a sigh like he was really put out by her taking a couple of weeks off.

"I'll edit one video a week for you if that's better." Rosie reasoned with him, she could very easily edit a video while she was on the flight over to LA.

"No, you should enjoy your holiday, three videos a week should be fine for me." Matt tells her, he was still not filming active videos and could only film fifteen minute videos because he couldn't sit in one place for any longer without his back hurting.

It turns out Matt's back injury was a little more serious than everyone, including his doctors thought. He not only had to do physiotherapy for his legs but also now his back, which doesn't stop him from running all of his channels to the best of his abilities.

"Well if you need any help with literally anything, just email it to me." Rosie insists, he's got a lot on his plate at the moment and it makes her feel guilty putting even more on him at this point in time.

"I'll be sure to do that. You enjoy your break, I'll talk to you soon."

"Sooner than you may think." Rosie hints, having a lot of fun dropping hints that none of them are going to understand.

As soon as Matt hung up the phone on her, somebody knocked on the door. Making Rosie question who it could be at her door, nobody was supposed to be coming over today. Today was packing day, so she had nothing planned.

"Rosie!" Her friends, Leah and Amelia, yelled in her face as she opened the door slowly. They were dressed in lovely purple dresses with their makeup done to perfection, those facts left Rosie on edge.

"You guys look gorgeous, what's going on?" Rosie questioned, noticing the white bag held lightly in Amelia's hand.

"We're here to kidnap you for the night. Put this on, we'll do your makeup and we can go." Leah exclaimed, excitedly pulling the bag from Amelia's hand to give it to Rosie, who still had no idea what was happening.

"What's going on?" Uncle Peter asked as he stood behind a really confused Rosie, who was holding the bag but was reluctant to look inside.

"We're going to borrow Rosie for the night if that's okay Mr Giles?" Leah said to him shyly, completely changing her tune.

"May I ask what for?" He asks in a terrifyingly sweet tone.

"It's a surprise." Amelia chimed in, "But she'll be back by tomorrow I promise." She adds. Rosie should hope she'd be back by tomorrow, she still has a lot of packing to be done by Friday.

"Well I can't argue with that, come in girls." Uncle Peter throws a look of apology to Rosie as she looked like she was terrified about what's to come from the two girls currently making their way upstairs to her bedroom.

Rosie changed into the gorgeous purple dress her friends gave her, it fitted absolutely perfectly and she was so happy she almost cried.

"Ready for us to do your makeup?" Amelia asked.

"Only if you don't go overboard with it, I'm not a tart." Rosie spoke, feeling a little more free with her friends as this was probably the last time she'd see them, at least for a while.

"Okay fine." Amelia knew she was going to say that, but started packing up all of the extra, non Rosie, makeup anyway.

-:-

They drove for what felt like hours before they were actually at the place that Amelia and Leah told her about. But not to much about because it's still a 'surprise' as they both kept telling her.

As soon as they all got out of the car Rosie was blindfolded, which was insisted by both girls so the surprise wouldn't be ruined.

But when they got inside, and the blindfold was eventually taken off, Rosie saw something amazing.

The place was all done up to look like LA, and people were all dressed nice to show off like a movie premiere.

Her friends had thrown her a surprise going away party... now she definitely was going to cry.
