Danni: Oooo good ones, good ones. 
Danni: Idk which to pick. 
Danni: Hm, I think the third one. 
Danni: Done!
Danni: Mr. Park core!

Ben: I love parkour. Have you ever done it?

Danni: Nooo
Danni: I like to flyyyyyy 
Danni: I did gymnastics for a bit
Danni: But I was doing acting and cooking aaaand gymnastics aaaaaaaaaaaaand dance 
Danni: So I dropped it tbh
Danni: I still do yoga tho!
Danni: Gotta stay flexi for all my fans!
Danni: And so I can dodge.

Ben: What about skateboarding? 
Ben: I could teach you sometime? Parkour is a lot harder to get into. But you can fly so that’s like cheating when it comes to the sport. 
Ben: I can’t cook or any of that other stuff
Ben: well I probably could do gymnastics since it is a lot of the same stuff as parkour
Ben: so you’d probably be okay it

Danni: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Danni: YOU WOULD THUNK
Danni: THAT I COULD DO THIS
Danni: WITH ALL MY SKILLS
Danni: BUT 
Danni: PICTURE THIS BB
Danni: A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD DANNI
Danni: CUTE AF
Danni: DANCER AND COOK AND SUPERHERO EXTRAIR
Danni: SETTING THINGS ON FIRE
Danni: GOT ON A SKATEBIARD
Danni: AND THN FOUND OUT THAT CONRETE SHOULD NOT HIT YOUR HEAD
Danni: I never tried again 🫠🫠🫠

Ben: Okay I don’t blame you for that.
Ben: but what if I was there? 
Ben: to help?
Ben: To catch you?
Ben: you can fly? Are you going to eat pavement again? 

Danni: I couldn't [i]always[/i] fly. 
Danni: That's only in the last year or so. 
Danni: Only if you promise to let me hold onto you. 
Danni: And promise not to laugh at me. 

Ben: you can totally hold onto me! I’ll keep you safe 🙂
Ben: cross my heart! I won’t laugh

Danni: 🥰😇😊🤩🤩
Danni: My life is in your hands then!
DEC 25th - Christmas Day

Danni: OMG, MY SIS WOKE ME UP AT 6AM!!!!!! LIKE, TF?! PLS SEND COFFEE!
Danni: BH is pretty fire today -
[*]Attachment - [i]Danni in his pj's, a little ruffled and sleepy looking, hair all disheveled and sitting in his nest of pillows and blankets, Amélie on her back and snoozing in his lap[/i]
Danni: O remind me to tell you what I got for the rents today!!!!
Danni: OMG, yes Merry Christmas!! Tell your Uncle I say hi and I still wanna come over to cook 4 you! <3

Ben: lol, we drink tea here like civilized people. 
Attachment - [i]Ben in pj's with a bow stuck to his head.[/i]
Ben: had church last night, I'm tired too. But I woke up at 7 am :p
Ben: I got Matt a book about some military history he likes. He got me a new deck. It is decent, but not the same brand I'm used to
Ben: also what does BH mean?

Danni: Anything before 9 is a crime!!
Danni: [i]Heart reacted to “Attachment”[/i]
Danni: Omg, that's so cute!
Danni: It's your new contact pic btw 
Danni: We def won the kids of the year award. 
Danni: We cleaned up a whole island of magic aids. 
Danni: Pops actually sobbed. 
Danni: I think when we're outta school, the rents might try to rebuild Genosha. 
Danni: Pops is kinda obsessing over it. 
Danni: brb, Papa is panicking lololol 
Danni: He summoned a Christmas ghost! Imma touch it.
Danni: ABORT, ABORT IT IS NOT A CHRISTMAS GHOST, NOT A CHRISTMAS GHDKSBEHSGSJNTNRNSJS
Danni: The ghost is gone now 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Ben: [i]Laugh emoted “It's your new contact pic btw”[/i]
Ben: Is touching ghosts something you normally do? Why is there a ghost? 
Ben: I’m so confused? What island? Do you mean Genosha? You cleaned it so it is safe again? I’ve heard of Genosha but it wasn’t ever really anything we talked about. My uncle talks about the moon normally.
Ben: I told him you want to come over and cook and he said you could if you want before school starts, but you’re welcome over after school starts on the weekend or something too. 
Ben: He is weirdly very happy I’ve got a friend. He seems smug. butthead

Danni: Okay, ghost was only [i]slightly[i] stabby so we gucci!
Danni: Papa can summon ghosts!
Danni: Most of the time, they're nice. 
Danni: But sometimes they're not. 
Danni: This one was the stabbing kind!
Danni: Yeah! When we made the big glowy guy!
Danni: We did 2 things!
Danni: One - Clean Genosha. 
Danni: It's was sup dangy so we fixed that for Christmas!
Danni: Two - I gave everyone on the team a hug!
Danni: It was fun! 
Danni: And then I wanted to die. 
Danni: So I said no more magic for Danni! 
Danni: Okay, bet! 
Danni: Imma make my gnocchi soup! 
Dannie: When are you free? 
Danni: When am I free? 
Danni: Uh
Danni: Mmmm
Danni: How about Jan 5? 
Danni: When did I get busy?
Danni: Are you happy you made a friend 🥺🥺🥺

Ben: Dude that giant glowy thing was crazy! 
Ben: I did not expect you to join it. I didn’t even realize you could until you did!
Ben: You cleaned Genosha from new orleans?
Ben: glad you didn’t die, id be sad and without a friend... that yes, I am happy I met :3
Ben: Matt said Jan 5th works! 

Danni: No, yeah
Danni: I was sups easy!

Danni: Yaaas queen! Live ya life!
Danni: Wait, what's the fit?
Danni: WAIT WAIT DON'T FORGET THE BEAR CHALK!

Ben: Is this okay? I don’t know what to wear camping?
Attachment 1 - photo of Ben, wearing jeans and a t-shirt with an unbuttoned button up layered over 
Ben: WHT IS BEAR CHALK?

Danni: The chalk
Danni: To keep the bears away!
Danni: I heard they can't cross chalk circles. 
Danni: So like, draw one on the ground and stand inside!
Danni: [i]Heart emoted “Attachment 1”[/i]
Danni: Or sick the bugs on them. 
Danni: There is gunna be lots of bugs. 
Danni: Probably. 
Danni: Tbh, idk cause we always stay in cabins. 
Danni: Or lodges. 
Danni: Wait, what lodge are you staying in? 

Ben: I think we have a tent? 
Ben: I do not think that is how bears work....
Ben: Do you think if I swarm a bear with bugs it’ll go away? 
Ben: are there bees in a forest?
Ben: we are going to more than one national park so we aren’t staying anywhere

Danni: ☠️☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀💀
Danni: Tent? 
Danni: Like
Danni: One the ground??? 
Danni: Couldn't be me. 
Danni: Isn't that what bees do?
Danni: When bears want honey? 
Danni: It should work??? 
Danni: Idk bout bees tbh
Danni: Bring chalk just in case!!!

Ben: Fine I’ll pack chalk... if i can find any
Ben: Matt says there is no such thing as bear chalk, he said there is bear mace. We don’t have any. 
Ben: I’ll pick some up at the park, they’ve got to sell it right? If it is an issue.
Ben: I’ve never stayed in a tent before. I’ve never camped at all. I’m kind of excited.

Danni: Your Uncle is on thin ice. 
Danni: Bear chalk is def a thing. 
Danni: I saw it on TV!
Danni: But I don't know about tents. 
Danni: We always stay in AC when we are outside. 
Danni: Only Pops can handle the heat like that
Danni: Or the cold. 
Danni: Or anything really. 

Ben: LOL I’ll tell him
Ben: it is the middle of winter, how hot can it be? Or cold? It is california how cold does it get here?
Ben: how do you have AC outside? Or do you just mean like at hotels? 
Ben: cant your ... max (?) teleport? Do you actually stay places? 

Danni: Yeah, Pa can port us all over!
Danni: But, yeah we stay in places.
Danni: We got to skin lodges
Danni: Hotels
Danni: Adorable cottages in the woods
Danni: Cause like, what if we wanna do more than just that? 
Danni: Why port home when you want ta feel that sweet, sweet experieance, ya know?

Ben: But your own bed? 
Ben: I’ve never skied, i could probably snowboard smae muscles!
Ben: you know the difference between a cottage in the woods and a cabin in the woods is a serial killer right? 

Danni: Why would someone kill ceral? Seems wierd. 
Danni: Jk, Jk! 
Danni: I'm just being silly!
Danni: I would feel so bad for a serial killer. 
Danni: Once, Pa took the kids on a vacation without telling anyone. 
Danni: Middle of the mountains. 
Danni: No cell signal (brutal AF btw)
Danni: Baaarely electricity. 
Danni: Fireplace. 
Danni: Beautiful shots. 
Danni: Pops found us. 
Danni: Three days, broke in, held Pa at gun point before he realized it was Pa. 
Danni: I think if we ran into a serial killer
Danni: I'd probably just laugh, tbh. 
Danni: Oh! Snowboarding looks scary, tbh. 
Danni: Like, just a single board? Spooooked.

Ben: Why didn’t your Pa tell anyone? 
Ben: That alone seems insane
Ben: I mean my parents never took me alone
Ben: okay maybe to like grandparents places
Ben: i don’t think my dads parents liked my mom a lot, but the died when I was little sooooo 🤷
Ben: my mom’s parents liked my dad
Ben: After you learn skateboarding snowboarding will be easy!

Ben: this might be stupid, but I’ve just enjoyed spending time with chase
Ben: he’s cool and thoughtful like this whole trip is cool af

Ben: (this is a reduction of a fact it is way more nuanced than that)
Ben: even individuals look different within a species 
Ben: and not def didn't go into the almost frozen water
Ben: the fact that the water is flowing and not ice is only because it isn't actually freezing
Ben: the water though is wayyy to cold
Ben: unless you're one of those weirdos who likes to be ice cold water
Ben: no thank you

Danni: OMG its cold there
