"go david!" frankie screams out, making her dad whip his head towards the small girl that was sitting next to natalie, the both of them holding camera's, "what about me?!"
frankie pulls a face, "oh yeah! go dad!" dillon francis laughs out loud, "number one daughter, right there!" frankie smiles at the dj, throwing up a thumbs up at him.
natalie stands up, with frankie following. "i still can't believe your dad let david wager everything on him."
frankie shrugs, "my dad isn't the best at sports, he knows david is amazing at tennis. it will make jeff put his money where his mouth is."
jeff slaps his hand down on frankie's shoulder, "hope your husband is ready to lose, little nash." the girl rolls her eyes at New York native. the boston girl shakes her head, "i hope you're ready to see 10k go down the drain, along with your dignity."
and that started the match, frankie recording the match while screaming in the background for her dad and husband, david smiles internally as he knows his crush is cheering him on to win.
at the end, natalie and frankie agreed that was the fastest match they've seen david play. as the boys wrap up, david walks towards frankie, the girl smiles, "congrats! fastest match i've seen you play."
"you think so?" the girl winks at the boy, "i know so. so what are you going to do with the money?"
the boy takes in her sweet voice that held that boston accent, "i know exactly what i'm going to do, and i need your help." and that's when the two came up with the best gift they could give jason.

david watched in awe as he watched frankie help natalie get everything together to surprise jason for his "surprise party". frankie was on board to help, telling david about how her grandma was in town, and she herself was sleeping there as well.
"okay, my dad goes to sleep at like 10, once he's asleep, Todd will open the door and we will start setting up."
everyone surrounds frankie as she tells the vlog squad how the party is going to be set up, "david, you'll get the extras and make sure my dad doesn't wake up. i'll be there to help set up, since i'm sleeping over."
frankie looks up at david and smiles softly at him. the green shinning through as david smiles back at the small girl, "okay, everyone understand?"
everyone nods their heads, as the all go back to what they were doing. frankie leans down to give natalie a hug, "okay, bye nat. see you later."
nat smiles, leaning up to give her a hug, "love ya." frankie smiles, blowing her a kiss, "love you too."
"dave, can you take me home?" david smiles, watches as the girl shoves her feet into baby pink checker vans, "you don't even have to ask."
a crack of a whip sound is made, as david turns around to see zane making fun of how whipped the brown hair boy was for jason nash's daughter.

moonlight by ariana grande plays quietly in the background as frankie sings along to the cute ballad. david turns his head a little to see the girl leaned back in the tesla seat with her eyes closed.
"and he calls me moonlight too."
"why don't you sing anymore?"
the question startles the girl, but she shrugs, "i don't know. i haven't really had the passion to put into singing like i did when i was younger. besides i'm not even that good."
"if i die, i want to hear your singing when i go to heaven."
frankie giggles, looking at david, "who said you were going to heaven?"
the boy shakes his head, "whatever, god is going to put us in the same room."
frankie groans, "man, i'm going to have to deal with phone flashlight and camera combo even in the afterlife?"
david laughs, as he realizes he caught that bit on camera. frankie and david were so natural around the camera, almost forgetting the camera was recording. david loved that frankie made him feel at ease when feeling, it didn't even feel like a job for him.

it was nearing 3 o'clock in the morning, and no one could find frankie. they set up all night while david got the extras in and made sure jason wouldn't wake up, but everyone was frantic while looking for the small boston girl. "where the fuck is frankie??"
matt shrugs his shoulders, "i have no idea! i've looked everywhere."
david groans, "just find her, please matt?"
the tall boy nods, as he watches david go back to jason's room, matt takes a seat, feeling a lump where he sat. and low and behold, frankie nash was curled into a ball in the corner of the sofa, pillows and blankets covered her. "hey guys. . . i found her."
matt sends a text to david, making the boy run out of jason's room. looking down at frankie, he smiles but leans over and shakes her, "frankie. . . frankie, wake up."
the girl rolls over, rubbing her eyes. blurry vision finally clears, coming face to face with brown eyes. she sits up quickly, getting off the sofa, "shit shit shit."
everyone around her laughs, "what the fuck time is it? i slept through set up huh?"
as frankie gets ready, the extras fill into the house as frankie points to where everyone needs to go. natalie stands next to her, making sure that everyone could hear what was going to happen and no social media until david says so.
now it was a waiting game, david needed to wake jason up, and frankie knew how hard it was to wake up her dad once he finally got to sleep. a little ding comes from frankie's phone alerting her that her dad was awake, "hit it dillon."
frankie watches as her dad comes out to get low by the dj himself. frankie jumps up and down as she leans into her dad. zane hands the girl a bottle of grey goose, and takes a pull, handing it off to her dad that pushes it away.
jason watches everything that goes on, and frankie knew her dad was out of it. it was too early for him, and she knew he didn't get enough sleep already as it is. but she still partied with everyone around her.
as the music shuts off, she pulls out her phone recording jason as he is given a card by david.
"happy birthday old fart! good job on your tennis match today. frankie and i took the winnings, and open - awh!" jason says, and looks towards his daughter and the boy he considered his other son, "david, frankie," jason cries out.
"happy birthday daddy!"
jason cries a little as todd reads off the rest of the card, "we opened up an account for your kids college tuition because we know how hard it was to help frankie get through school. enjoy your last three years on earth. love david and frankie."
as jason cries, he leans over to hug david and frankie. frankie rubs her dad's back as david records the father-daughter duo hug it out. david smiles as he pans the camera over to dillon francis at the make shift dj booth, "hey dillon, play dancing queen!"
and that starts the song by abba. the vlog squad smiles and jumps around as natalie and frankie hold hands and sing to each other. frankie leans over and side hugs her dad, "happy birthday daddy, love you!"
"love you too, frankie."
david smiles as he turns the camera around on him to show everyone jumping around and singing to dancing queen. frankie leans over and kisses david on the cheek to only go back to natalie and sing with the girl at the top of their lungs.
