"Hakuna your tatas, Zak. One step at a time." They both laughed. "I'll text you later, alright?" He hummed, ending the call on his end. Eris shoved her phone into her sweats, walking back into the house.

"So, you like Karl?" Eris yelled, jumping back. Chandler laughed, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. She blushed, not wanting to further talk about it. "That's really cool! You and Karl are amazing for each other!"

"Chandler, leave the poor girl alone," Jimmy yelled, saving Eris from any more of Chandler's comments. "Okay, Chris is with Karl right now buying this for a video that isn't happening." Eris nodded, taking a seat on the couch.

Jimmy was directing his attention to the cameraman who was recording by the door. It made her relieved that she was out of the video for a bit. Eris watched intently, smiling at the way he was describing his plan. It was like a passive aggressive villain.

"Now, Karl doesn't know that we have a surprise for him. The surprise being," Jimmy pointed at Eris. The camera panned to her, which she waved at. Eris smiled brightly, kind of hyped with Jimmy's introduction. "Eris! If you don't know, Eris is apart of a really cool band." Eris whooped, shaking her fist. Chandler laughed from the other room.

"Karl and Eris have become really close friends and I decided to fly Eris out to surprise Karl. We have to move fast now because they are about to arrive at Karl's house." Chandler grabbed Eris by the armpits, like a cat, motioning her to the camera. Eris looked at the camera wide-eyed. "I've secured the surprise." Eris and Chandler bursted out laughing, now leaving the house and getting into the car.

"Eris, are you nervous?" Chandler made a fake microphone with what looked to be a napkin. Eris wiped fake sweat, fanning her face. "Super nervous, Chandler."

They pulled into Karl's driveway. Chandler and Eris hopped out, hearing Jimmy talk to them camera again. They walked to the door, waiting for him to finish. Chandler poked Eris' shoulder. She looked eyed him weirdly, poking him back. He poked her again. Eris glared at him, poking him twice. On the second jab, he tried to bite her finger. She laughed, moving her finger away quickly.

"Okay, when we go inside, Eris will hide in the closet."

"Not my first time in there," Eris joked. Chandler laughed again. The door was opened by Karl's roommate who let them in. Chandler walked over to Karl's room, opening his closet. Eris strutted her way in, twirling and plopping on the ground. "This closet is much nicer than the one I hid in for a bit."

The door was shut. She pulled her phone out, playing any type of game she could possibly have on her phone. Eris waited for her signal, scrolling through different apps and exiting them. Her heart was pounding, but this time she was more excited. Eris heard a laugh. A laugh she knew belonged to Karl. She smiled, getting even more excited.

"Karl, I left something for you in the closet." Eris stood up, waiting for him to open the door. She bounced on her feet, not knowing if it was excitement or nerves that were biting at her skin. She heard the door open to Karl's room. "It's on the floor!"

The door flung open and Eris ran forward, hugging Karl. He stumbled a bit, looking down at the person attached to him. She peeked her head, smiling at him. Karl looked down at her in shock. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight to his body. Karl swayed them slightly, laughing at the thing in the closet.

"Why are you in my closet?" He whispered, still not letting go. Eris looked up at him, giving him  another smile.

"Because I'm the surprise!"

"Because I'm the surprise!"
