Ryan:
PART I (GRIFFINS HOUSE): So I got there an hour early. I go into Griffin's house and he's literally on acid. I realize that Griffin probably has some mental disorder, his parents are pestering him to take his meds. Hes bopping his head everywhere, jumping around, its fun, but kinda creepy. Griffins mom is sick, she says if we want to drive over to the center, Griffin will need to clear the car, so I go help him. We're basically tossing fake grass around for like 15 minutes, its fun, pretending to be lego guys, carrying slow, seeing how much we can stack, after we're done, we go inside and chill to 21 pilots. Griffin and Spencer fight, naturally, and he announces he doesnt want to go to the nature center, but will see the movie.

Then, Josh emerges, we see Steve in the car but he quickly drives off, wearing his infamous Dodgers baseball hat. Josh and I kick around his volleyball, he goes on griffins computer and makes a park ranking chat, and its cool. We sit there and chill for a bit, mess around with one of Griffins cats. Then, a car pulls up. I notice Matt's mom, and theres another lady next to her (her friend) and Matt comes out of the car, stands and looks around, walks forward. Pause. Derek walks out of the car, stands and looks around, pause. Then, Cyrus emerges. We run outside and all awkwardly greet each other, and Matt tells the tale of how there was no middle seatbelt in the car, so Matt and Cyrus had to forge their seatbelts together with Derek in the middle. We go into Griffins house, and I take out my two lightsabers and me and Matt engage in battle. It ends up being underwhelming, until Josh takes Matt's lightsaber, and kills me. Then Matt challenges him, and Matt is easily defeated by Josh. Josh is actually really good with lightsabers, destroyed both of us. Then Cyrus challenges him, and he instantly falls on the ground, Josh wins. The last man standing, Derek, holds his lightsaber and pokes at Josh, and is nearly defeated if not for Matt hosing down Josh. Then, Griffin emerges saying its time for the Nature Center, Rob driving.

PART II (NATURE CENTER): We get there, and instantly there's a nice chill wind, and very ambient vibe. Matt constantly begs the group to "Split up", and I see a stage, and start ham boning on it. Matt and Derek join me, while Griffin Josh and Cyrus walk on ahead. Me Matt and Derek dance on the stage for a bit, Josh Griffin and Cyrus come back for us, and we walk across the entrance bridge, we see a turtle swimming, and we all shout turtle symbolism. Matt spits into the water, and the turtle dives down into the water depths and disappears. Then we reach the trial. There is crossroads. Theres the 1/2 mile path, and the 1/4 mile path. Griffin and Derek start walking on the 1/2 mile path, and Matt and Cyrus go down the 1/4 mile path. I tell Josh to go with Griffin, and I go with Matt and Cyrus. Let me just summarize this walk we had. Us three. By the way, the two groups never met together until the end of the trip, but we ended at the same time. While they stayed on their path, we went off our trial, and actually went into illegal areas. Cyrus started as a voice of reason stopping me and Matt, but he eventually become like us.

We ended up on a road at the edge of the center after going off the trail and getting lost, and the road is super cool, I wish i took a pic, it was like an endless road in the middle of a forest, and I told them I was going to walk down it, they follow, but we find another trial so we just go through there. We go through this old destroyed tree trying to get back to the actual trail however, go through a large patch of spiders to my intense fear, a circle of logs that Cyrus wanted to sacrifice Josh in, and so on. We eventually made it back to the trial with me finding a large stick I used as a staff, and Matt finding a pitchfork like stick he used to poke trees. Everytime we walked by kids, me or matt called out to them, and we had interesting small conversations with them, such as with a kid who we said fornite to, and he said he only likes minecraft, and we said yeah minecraft is good, and he said, how do you know, and we said, because we played it, and the kids mom was awkwardly pushing her kid away. Another time I went up to this little girl and said, listen my child, and you shall here, the midnight ride, of paul revere. In the end, we meet back with the crew on a side quest that felt like the walk me you and richard had in park 3 for derek and the mysterious unknown of park 4, a true sequel.

We meet back with the group, share pictures, then Griffin calls his dad to pick us up, Matt goes on a Park Rancher jeep and almost gets kicked out, while me and Josh do orange justice on a rock. Derek does some stride walks, and Griffin goes into a slump mode. YOu know, when he wants to do nothing. Then he says, I want to see the animals! But Josh Derek and Cyrus dont, so they chill behind on a bench reacting to memes. me griffin and matt, the crew, walk over to the animal shelter as we sing to the new 21 pilots album. We get there and it closes right then we get there, but we still get to pet one especially good doggie, and then quickly realize that most of the dogs wont be adopted and be killed. We find a security keypad and try to break in, and a lady catches us, but me and Matt improve to get out of it as Griffin just casually walks out of the situation. On the walk back, Griffin is ahead as I show matt my minor rap skills, and Matt tries to open a rip off of laughy taffy. We go back with the crew to do a rap battle with Derek as the beat boxer, and matthew has minor bars. We sit around and we learn where John Gorski's saying "watch your jet" comes from, as it comes from a meme where a guy says watch your jet, and his friend gets his by a jet as hes skydiving. We sit on yellow poles similar to the park 8 ones, and are self aware of the connection. Griffin takes us to sit on grass in front of the entrance of the NC to wait for his dad, and Josh does his signature gay pose, along with Mario, and we chill until rob comes. He is taking us straight to the town centre, but spencer isnt there. Goosnav does not join the event. And then, its time to go to the Park 5 lands.

PART III(TOWN CENTRE): Holy cow, best part of the meetup right here. So much stuff happened, Ill try to put it in order. Again, the group had this amazing Dynamic the whole time, where there was always two groups of three, and those groups were always shifting around, but me and Matthew were always together. Actually, I dont think I ever left Matt's side the whole meetup. We get to the town centre, and realize we have three hours before the movie starts. The fountain of water there in the front by islands attracts attention, as Matt literally puts his head in the water, Cyrus proclaiming Matt was baptized by father John himself. Me and Matt then quickly agree to eat panda express, while Cyrus says he hates it, and Derek says it would disrespect his asian culture. Griffin, Cyrus and Derek end up going in line to buy tickets, while me josh and matt think we can do that later, and go into a clothes store, where teens are working. Matt goes in just to dry his head has theres a giant fan, as one of the workers who was off shift saw the fountain insidint, and we realize how good josh would look wearing a beanie hat. we leave but I tell them I will recommend the store tomy friends, and they go AYYE. Theres a confusion period of where Cyrus Griffin and Derek went, and they went to party city. They come back for us, and me matt and josh buy our tickets. After so, Josh and Griffin go straight to Panda express, where the food is expensive but seems promising, I give matt some money and we eat there as well, but Josh quickly eats his food and leaves with Derek and Cyrus to get Chickfila

Me and Matt get Panda express, and the food is pretty good, I dont like my chicken, and matt got another kind, and we realize we like each others, so we kinda merge our meals. The fried rice was awesome, and I really love green beans for some reason. Griffin chills out and wants water, so we leave matt for a second to go into starbucks and get water. Its sad, the cashier put in ice water twice on the register, and it came out as amount = 0.0. I almost laughed, theres another starbucks story later. We really abused their free water. Then, Cyrus Josh and Derek come back, they give us some fries, and we chill, take some pictures. Then we see the infamous sex offender thing, and me and josh in those pictures were actually put there and told not to look at what the poster said, so we had no idea it said that, but we died of laughter after we turned around. Ricky texts Griffin saying hes biking over and will be there soon, and we agree to hang around. We use the bathroom in starbucks and get more waters, take pictures in front of the fountain, etc. Then, Ricky shows up, and him and Griffin go off to lock his bike. There is a bike lock there!

Me and Matt then leave the group right when everyone is ready to see the movie, to do what? Charge matts phone in starbucks, or to get his charging phone back, per say. Then matt wants to buy this dark chocholate thing, and he has no money. Suddenly, this rich young man behind us asks how much it is, and pays for it, then says, no problem guys, have a nice weekend. What a baller! Then, me and matt realize that the party city has the candy we would buy in the theatre for wayyy less, so we go in there, only to be rushed by thousands of calls by JOsh and griffin to go into the theatre, and a batman mask I buy for matthew that clears my wallet. Then, we hurry back to the theatre. Nobody really bought anything actually. Matt pulled a Doan and got a popcorn out of the trash, free refill. All I could buy was a drink, of which in the movie i sat next to derek, who gave me sourpatch, and cyrus, who had no drink, so i faced my germaphobic ways and let him put a straw in my drink, and for the movie we shared a fruit punch.

And now, the actual movie. Dude, it was really fun, funny, exciting, went by really fast too. There was one scene where venom was killing a bunch of police guys, and Cyrus just randomly said, dude, this is epic.

Then we went back to griffins house, and on the car ride back Cyrus showed us texts that literally exposed Tyler as a rapist. Im not joking, Tyler is a creep, hes a pervert. You can ask Cyrus for the texts. Like, holy shit dude. Then, Kent arrived, and me cyrus and derek got a ride home with a chill mid western Kent.

Kent has such bad navigation skills, he constantly had to make u turns.

But he seems like a really chill nice guy

He has a good taste in music too, jazz and rock

And then the meetup ended.
