What Started It All

After having a fun time at prom, Rachel decided to do a project that she wanted to do for a while, make a channel called Rachel’s Raisins. It’s the same as Piper and Emily’s podcast, The Pmily Connection, but Rachel does it solely rather than as a duo. Hannah designed the logo, and Polly and Duncan set up everything else. She wanted to cover a studio member, Josh’s very first unseen stories to the public. This was before Studio 98 took over and Pack Boobs was still a thing. Polly loved the idea and she started right away. Rachel had the files of the first videos on her USB drive and plugged it into her laptop. Then Polly started the recording:

 Hey everyone, I’m Rachel, and welcome to the first-ever podcast episode of Rachel’s Raisins! You may have known me from Polly’s videos, but if you haven’t watch Polly’s content for some knowledge. Anyway, I’ll be talking about a person named Josh, that created Pack Books. He made some stories about himself and his best friend Matthew. I won’t spoil much, so I’ll just say that it's very emotional, and I mean emotional! So let’s get started. There might be some grammar errors because this was made back when he used WordPad, and that doesn’t have a grammar check. So let’s begin!

Characters: Piper Rockelle-Ringleader; Lev Cameron-Boyfriend; Eliana-Squad Member; Jenzten-Squad Member; Emily Dobson-Squad Member; Hunter Hill-Editor; Frank Pugan-Dog

We came to her house. I complimented it and told her how much I loved seeing it in person rather than in a video. Piper announced that the prank was going to start as soon as a fan went up to her house. It didn’t take long until the first fan showed up and Hunter, the editor, set up a hidden camera on the fence, Piper watched on her fence camera, and we got in position to begin the prank. The fan asked, “Hey, is Piper busy right now?” And Matthew said, “Sorry, Pipes isn’t in a good mood right now, you can try later or try another day.” The fan understood and walked away. Piper ran out the house and shouted, “It was a prank!” The fan was so surprised, “Piper!” Matthew and I laughed, “yep, we got you!” Her name was Malie. “Want a picture Malie?” Piper asked. “Yes, of course!” Malie replied. After that, Piper was proud of us for doing the prank so well. The prank lasted for a while and we pranked more than five fans.

After that, she took us to The Sugar Factory in Santa Monica Boulevard. We had some hot chocolate and rainbow sliders. We played games like a water gun race, basketball toss, skeeball, milk jug toss, and down the clown. I told Piper that this was the best day of my life. Then my evening was even better by seeing my favorite interviewer, Will, The Paparazzi Gamer. I was so excited that I foamed like when I see a special unit on a train. I couldn’t stop smiling. Piper walked a few feet back so I could have my moment. “Hey Will!” I said finally after calming down. “Hey, I can tell that your excited to see me.” He replied. “Yes.” I said excitedly. “I’m your biggest fan!” In the interview, we discussed about Matthew and I’s day with Piper and how much fun it was. After the interview and before we left, I told him to keep on doing the interviews and you deserve more subs. I literally couldn’t stop freaking out that I met the Paparazzi, the man himself!

3-Getting Pranked

It was the next morning and we were going to take a trip up Hollywood Boulevard to do a video about the sites of Hollywood. We weren’t expecting to see one of Piper’s squad members. Her name was Jenna and she was known as the squad mom. “Hey Jenna!” I shouted. She turned around with a smile, “Hi there! How are you?” We were very happy to see her. “I can’t believe that I’m seeing you in person,” I said excitedly. “We meet Piper yesterday,” Matthew said. “Did you meet any of the other members yet?” she asked. We replied no and she told us to come to Piper’s house but she never told us why, but we said ok. We decided to go some time after so we told her that we would go in the afternoon. Jenna called Piper and told her about it, and she was so excited.

At Piper’s house, Piper and her friends had setup a prank that we didn’t know about. “So, Piper do you know what prank we are going to do?” asked Emily. Piper said that everyone else would be mean to us and everyone agreed. Hidden cameras were setup and the prank was ready to go.

At noon, we arrived at Piper’s house and she let us in. We went upstairs to the game room where Jenzten and Eliana were. Jenzten was playing Minecraft and Eliana was watching him. “Hey Eliana!” I exclaimed. “I watch you on Chicken Girls!” Eliana didn’t answer or look at me. I tried again saying the same thing but there was still no response. Matthew decided to just let them be, so I did the same thing. We saw Emily with her dog Harley in another room. We tried to tell her how cute Harley was, and Matthew tried to pet her, but Emily didn’t look at us and prevented Matthew from touching Harley. So, we did the same thing again and decided to let her be. We went to Piper’s room and we saw her, Lev and Hunter doing a video. Lev left the room when he saw us. We asked Piper why her friends were being so mean. “Maybe they are just having a bad day. Piper began. Emily has been upset because Jordan didn’t talk to her this week, Eliana just doesn’t want to talk to anyone besides him.” “Then Lev just left when we came in. Is he ok?” Matthew asked. “Yeah,” Piper said. “He’s just shy.” Then Frank comes into the room in his cheeky way, “Hey, what are you doing here? Where the hot moms at?” We thought he was talking about the girls. “They are just having a bad day,” I said. But Frank jokily said, “maybe the boys are too cold for them.” All of us replied, “Whatever Frank!” It felt awkward that none of Piper’s friends weren’t in a good mood, so we decided to leave. Before we opened the door, her friends ran downstairs at the same time and shouted, “Wait! It was a prank!” We were so shocked. We saw Hunter following them with the camera. “He pranked you!” He said. We couldn’t believe that we got pranked for the first time. “Come on Piper, you got us!” Matthew said. “I know I did,” She replied. “I got y’all good.” So, with that, we hung out with the squad members and had a lot of fun. Emily let us pet Harley, Eliana told me how she got the role of the character Claire in Chicken Girls, and Lev told me about all the fun moments with Piper. We had Bojangles for dinner.

That evening, Jenna showed up after doing errands. I told her about the prank that the rest of the squad did and she laughed. “Well you know, you can never meet Piper without getting pranked”. Piper grinned at Jenna’s comment. We were deciding to start a channel of our own and I was going to host it. So I talked about it and everyone agreed except Frank that just came in. “Hold up, hold up, hold up! I never agreed to this.” He stammered. “Scrap the idea and put it in a litter box”. Hunter roasted him back, “Well, at least they don’t be rude to people, no one cares what you say Frank. Get out of here.” Frank did what he was told and ran off.

4-Getting Famous

A few days had passed, and Matthew was looking at Piper’s YouTube channel on his computer and saw 2 new videos. One was called “Pranking my fans that I don’t to be bothered by them \*\*THEY CRIED\*\* ☹”. The other was THE SQUAD WAS BEING MEAN TO MY FRIENDS TO SEE HOW THEY REACT \*\*funny prank\*\* 😊” We reacted to all of them, and we enjoyed it, especially Frank’s scenes. It felt good that we had a opportunity to be in it. We got four million views in both videos. I saw some of my friends congratulating me and Matt being on a celebrity’s video. We were so happy.

I already had a channel, but I renamed it to the M & J Bros for our new channel. We were doing pranks and so far in the day alone, we already got a thousand subscribers. Piper was so proud of us for reaching the thousand milestone. She also gave us some money for celebration.

A few months passed and we had over a million subscribers. 1.33 Million to be exact. We thanked everyone especially the squad for the support. and we created our own merch with Piper’s help and in days most of the merch had already sold out and we made lots of money. With the money we had, we decorated both our houses. We painted our houses in red paint to symbolize that we were youtubers.

Some of this in inaccurate now because of course the house is now painted in Studio 98’s livery, but still keeps the legacy of Pack Books. I can’t believe how far he’s come. I wonder he’s doing in the railroad. I heard that there’s a huge demand on Piper’s merch recently, and there’s been a lot of extra runs there. They also got a special unit that they repainted to promote the new song as well. It should be on their website, but many railfanners also recorded the unit so YuoTube is also a good choice to see it in action! Anyway, stay tuned for another story that the former Pack Books founder made. I’ll also have someone from the team to post it on their Instagram. It’s called ‘Piper Rockelle Adventure series’ and I won’t spoil that either so, I hope you enjoyed my new podcast and I hope to see y’all in the next one. Also, subscribe to my friends and family: Polly, Jamison, Laura, Hannah, Clyde, Richard, Harry, Piper, Lev, Elliana, Jentzen, Jenna, and Emily. Have an awesome day guys, and remember God is good!

 After making the video, she checked to see how her views were going. She was upset that she only had a few views, which were from her family.

“There’s nothing to worry about,” Jamison said.” You just started this new channel, so it’ll be slow at the start. But over time, you will gain a lot! Trust the process!”

Rachel agreed with her friend and decided to wait.
