Link POV

"Oh my gosh! Sarah! Is that really you?"

"Yeah, Link. It's me" she says with a sad smile.

"Awwww what's wrong?" I ask her.

"I just never thought I would see you guys again but here you are."

"Here we are!" I repeat with a smile. This makes her chuckle a little bit. A tear starts to stream down her cheek but I catch it with my thumb.

"So what's with the tears? They better be happy tears."

"They are" she says after a nod and a sniffle.

Rhett then comes over and we give her a group hug. She looked like she needed it. After the long group hug she starts to ask us questions.

"So what have you guys been up to lately? Why are you all the way out here in Los Angeles?"

"Well... We went to college together in North Carolina. We both got degrees in engineering. Well I got mine in industrial engineering and Rhett got his in civil engineering. I then worked for IBM for a few years and Rhett worked at Black and Veatch. We then both left out jobs to pursue internetainment jobs. We created two youtube channels and have music videos , sketches and commercials on one channel and vlog type videos on the other."

"Wow"

"Yeah. Our commercials are what actually brought us out here."

"Really?" she asked surprised.

"Yes. Really!" Rhett insisted.

"We got a call to do a television show called Commercial Kings. We have been creating commercials for local businesses back home and around the area. They got so popular on our YouTube channel that people want to know how they're made. That's what this show's gonna be about."

"Wow guys. That's amazing! It must have been tough to move all the way out here since you both had a life in North Carolina."

"It wasn't that hard" I said nonchalantly.

"Oh. Okay Link. If you think so" she said quietly.

This conversation isn't going as well as I thought it would. I should do something... but what?

"So what have you been up to all these years?" Rhett asks. "Oh Thank God" I think with a huge sigh. I was hoping he would say something to get us out of that awkward situation.

"Well after I moved out here I graduated high school and went to college. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do as a career so I tried a bunch of different things. I finally found marketing which was interesting at the time. Now it's busy and annoying because of all of the things I have to organize and make to look good."

She talked and talked but I didn't mind. I thought it was kind of cute how she talked about her job like that. She seemed really passionate about it. She really knew what she was doing.

"Well that doesn't seem so bad" I finally say once she's finished talking.

"It's not as fun as making commercials or being on TV for a living" she says. She does have a point.
