Solo Problems

Today was the 7th day of April which meant that it was another Paparazzi Gamer day. Polly and her group were very excited because they could show more support for Will on his day. They were in Squad World at this event and had taken some photos of them wearing custom jerseys with TPG lettering and desired numbers. Will liked the posts and commented, “Thanks!”.

 After the group made the post, they sat in the cafeteria while Rachel and Hannah cooked some food. They had to hurry because Polly was due for a vocal lesson with Piper. The two managed to get the food ready in time and Polly ate the food fast. Jami thought that she was going to throw it back up and had a bin ready just in case she did. Luckily, she didn’t and she then set off for the lesson.

“How was your break Piper?” the group asked.

“It was good,” Piper replied. “I miss my fans though so I can’t wait to post again.”

“Yea everyone deserves a break sometimes and I hope everyone understands that. Some fans act like celebs are like robots but they are human just like them. We get tired, we are not always in a happy life, and–well we just need time for ourselves.”

“I agree,” Piper said. “I meet some fans when my squad went to Disney, it was so much fun.”

“Well Polly, I hope you do good in your vocal lesson,” Jamison said. “Can’t wait for more music out of you!”

“Thanks,” Polly replied. “By the way Piper, my team wanted to know if you wanted to be in a project they’ve been working on. It’s like a remix of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with a twist to it.”

“Yeah Emily told me about it and sure I would do it.”

“Yay!”  Jami cheered. “I’ll call Molly right now so she knows!”

Molly was in total shock. She then told Jami to tell Piper to let her know by DM if she’s ready to be in the studio. She saw Jenna’s video and noticed that Peggy had called Piper about her new song and didn’t want to interrupt anything. The girls were so excited. Then they said goodbye to the Liper duo and Polly as they were leaving. Jami couldn’t wait to hear her singing voice when she came back. She joined the girls in Emily’s room and Emily had happened to be there playing some Waffle Smash.

“Hey Em wasn’t expecting you here,” Jamison said.

“Yeah all the squad are here,” Emily responded. “We haven’t been here in a while and we wanted to hang out here for the day since Piper was taking a vocal lesson. I love this place. You never see a house dedicated to a whole group before.”

“You got that right,” Jamison replied. “I wish we had dedicated rooms for us.”

Then Jentzen left his room looking very annoyed. “Why don’t y’all talk to the rest of the squad?” he whined. “What’s so cool about Emily that prevents y’all from talking to the rest of the group?”

“Emily’s our favorite member,” Rachel responded which made Jentzen even more annoyed.

“Why because she’s tall?” he fumed. “Y’all like the tall people?”

“What are you talking about Jentzen?”

“What are you talking about Rachel?”

“You”

“You”

“You”

“Enough!” Emily & Jamison shouted.

“Jentzen if you want to know the reasoning, it’s because she is our favorite and we love her so much.”

“That’s literally what Rachel had said except for the love part,” Jentzen raged loudly. “You just going to leave all of us out because of whom? It makes no sense at all.”

“Hey y’all what’s with all the commotion?” a voice said while’s footsteps heard.

“That sounds like Gavin,” Emily said. “Y’all’s group haven’t met him yet.”

“I’m cool with Gavin,” Rachel said. “I used to watch his SML videos. They were so entertaining.”

Gavin overheard the conversation. “Hello, ladies and gents mind if I join the conversation? I’m glad you enjoyed my SML videos umm.”

“The names Rachel and these are some of my squad peeps, Hannah, Clyde, Jamison, and Duncan. There’s more but they didn’t join us today.”

“Well nice to meet all of you. Say I like this place. The Rock Squad wanted to know if it was alright to make some videos here?”

“Of course,” Emily replied. “We can’t wait to see that amazing group again!”

“These collabs are blowing my mind right now,” Hannah said. “I can’t even tell who’s in a squad or not. Feels like the saying that—”

“Were not just two squads, we are friends,” a voice interrupted.

“Oh, Gabi! The best rock squad girl in the whole system, how are you?”

Gabi laughed. “I’m doing great. I appreciate the compliment.”

“No problem Gabi, you are the best!”

“What about me?” Anna-Kate asked. “Am I being left out again?”

“And me?” Keilahni asked.

“And us too?” asked the rest of the Rock Squad.

Emily had covered her ears ready for another argument to occur.

“Please let’s not argue this time,” Jamison said.

“Is it because Gabi is taller than us?” cried Anna-Kate.

“No it's not that, it's just that we– have favorites and we’re used to talking to them.”

“No excuse,” Jentzen wailed.

From that time through the afternoon, no one spoke to the Pollyinators. They felt left out.

“So guys, Polly made it to three million subscribers!” Hannah said.

No one paid her any attention. She walked around the group showing the phone to them, but still, no one looked at it, except for Gabi.

“Hey, do y’all think that y’all are being a bit too rude?” she asked. “I mean, who cares if they have a favorite person that they love, they are like best friends. The rest of the group are still friends too. Just like how Piper and Emily are besties and Jentzen and Lev are too.”

“Then where are those two then? Shouldn’t they be here too?”

"Well, Lev had taken Piper and Polly to a vocal lesson," Hannah said. "Ok look, just because they aren't with their besties, that doesn't mean that they have to be with them all the time. That would be annoying."

Jentzen sighed. "Your right, I'm sorry."

"Same for us too," said Anna-Kate. "I honestly take that tall joke back because Kehilani is also tall. So that joke was pointless. Please will you forgive us?"

"Of course, we will," replied the Pollyinators. "We understand that y'all had felt left out because of your favorites in the group, and we're sorry for leaving y'all out."

"That's okay," said Keilahni. "Just to be curious, who is your favorite person out of the GoatFam?"

"It'd probably be either Gavin or Alectra," Hannah said. "Gavin because he's the ringleader and an awesome guy. Y'all should hear his songs, they're so fire! Anyways, Alectra would also be a favorite because she speaks the truth and feels like a mentor."

"Wow thanks," Gavin responded. "I'll tell Alcetra about it when I come back home. For right now, the Rock Squad got some business to attend to."

Gabi decided to stay to show what she posted for Will's celebration.

"That looks so cute," Hannah reacted. "I hope Will sees it. It was an edit of Henry wearing a shirt that said, "Best Paparazzi Ever".

"That's the first time that I've seen a cat stand up," Rachel said. "None of ours had done that yet."

"It's amazing what editing can do isn't it?" Gabi asked. "The best edit of a cat ever!"

"Yep, there's no way that Will wouldn't like this. It's just so perfect!"

"Agreed," Gabi responded.

Then after a few minutes, Will and Henry both liked the post and commented hearts. Gabi liked their comments and showed the group once more. Then Polly and Piper returned. Emily was so excited and hugged Piper.

"Hey, Piper! How've you been?"

"I've been good," Piper responded. But I missed you though. I missed all of y'all!" She then saw Gabi. "Hey, where's the rest of the rock squad?"

"They're currently doing a video with Gavin. I'm about to join them, but I had stayed to show your sisters the post I made for Will's 7th-day celebration. Want to see it? I know you'll love it!"

"Sure," Piper replied.

Gabi then showed the edited post of Henry and Piper's mouth opened big and her hands were covering the sides of her head. "That looks so adorable," Piper reacted. "The shirt looks cute too! What I love about it most is that he's standing up."

"I knew you would like it," Gabi replied. "I know how much you love cats so I'll also make one for you. Just tell me which cat you want me to edit and I'll surely make one for you!"

Piper couldn't speak. couldn’t believe what she was hearing. All she did was a big smile.

“Wow I haven’t seen you so joyful before,” Gabi reacted. “DM me a photo of one or more of your cats so I can edit them and send them to you.”

Piper made a happy scream and Gabi walked away to meet up with her group.

“I’m–so–excited,” she said at last. “I’ll put them everywhere in my house!”

Everyone giggled because of her reaction.

“C’mon y’all, why are y’all laughing at me?”

“Your voice!” Polly said still gigging.

“Come on y’all, wouldn’t y’all be happy that someone would do something like this?”

“Yeah, but I wouldn’t have that type of reaction,” Polly joked. “But we’re happy for you!”

“Thanks,” Piper replied smiling. Then she turned to Rachel. “Hey Rachel, I’ve heard that you got catfished yesterday. Please be careful in the future ok?”

“I understand,” Rachel replied. “I’ll promise myself that I would never interact with someone that I don’t know personally.”

Piper & Jamison smiled and the group then went to the cafeteria. So Piper and Polly could get some food after they had done their vocal lesson.
