(an: if this is not particularly "accurate" to birthdays, i apologize. ive never gone to a birthday party or had a birthday party so i have no idea what theyre like lmfao. i'm just winging it here)
September 27th. One day before my 18th Birthday.
"WILLOWWWWW" George yells from downstairs
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I yell groggily, it being that I wasn't even fully awake yet
"IF YOU STILL WANNA GO TO THE STORE BEFORE YOUR STREAM YOU BETTER GET UP NOW. YOU'VE GOT TEN MINUTES OR I'M LEAVING WITHOUT YOU"
"FUCK YOU"
"YEAH YEAH YOU HATE ME, JUST GET UP ALREADY ITS ALMOST 2PM"
"Hmm? Why are you yelling?" Jax asks, morning voice evident, from my phone
"Oh shit, I'm sorry love. I didn't mean to wake you" I say softly
"It's okay, don't worry about it. What's going on anyways?" He says, sitting up
"George was yelling at me to get up because we've got to get stuff for the stream today" I say as I bring my phone with me into the bathroom to brush my teeth
I prop it up against the mirror so he can see me
He lets out a little laugh "Pretty girl"
"Oh shut up, my hair is a mess, I look like shit" I grab my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it
"That's why I call you my pretty girl, because you're always pretty. Even when your hair looks like a rat's nest" He says, also starting to get up
I scoff "Wow you didn't have to be so rude. Tomorrow's my birthday, y'know"
"I do know. You should savor your last moments of childhood while you still can" He says as he goes into his bathroom and also starts brushing his teeth
Since we can't be together, and we're both incredibly clingy, we can act like we're together on facetime. We both felt bad that we didn't take advantage of our time together when we were ignoring each other. So now we're making up for it.
It's a nice alternative. And I think its cute to get to see him wake up every morning.
We both get ready for the day. I put on a mustard yellow flannel button up shirt. On top of that, I layer over a plain black shirt. I tuck it all into black ripped jeans. I put on some accessories, of which included my frog ring and my necklace that I matched with Jaxon.
Jaxon was wearing a pink shirt with a jean jacket. He was also wearing black ripped jeans. And he matched my jewelry with his own.
I slipped on some yellow converse, of which I decorated with paint markers, and a black beanie before heading downstairs.
"Ready to go?" George asks, leaning against the wall near the door
"Yep yep! Can I drive?" I ask, grabbing the keys
"If you don't crash the car, then sure" He says as we leave the door
As we get in the car, I put my phone on the phone holder thing so that Jaxon can see me while I drive. I start up the car and back out, making my way towards the nearest walmart.
"So, are you guys ready for the stream?" George asks from the passenger seat
"As ready as I can be, I guess" I answer with a nervous smile
"It's definitely gonna be a big change, but we've been preparing for it for months" Jaxon adds on
At midnight tonight, right when it hit my birthday, we were planning on both face revealing.
We both wanted to do it for a while now, and it'd be best if we'd do it together. So, we came to the decision. At midnight tonight, we'll celebrate for a couple of seconds and then rip off our mask and glasses.
"Well, if you guys ever feel like you need to back out, you can. There's no pressure for you guys to do this, especially since you just came back so soon" He reassures
"Awww does gogy care about lil ole us?" I tease
"Shut up and drive" He sighs
I smile and do just so, until we finally arrive. I grab my phone and put in my airpods, giving one to George so he can hear Jax. Just in case, I also put on my mask and and regular sunglasses.
"Alright, so what all do we need?" I ask out loud, opening my notes app as we walk into the store and grab a cart
The notes app consisted of everything we came here to get:
(an: willow and jaxon have these notes shared so what willow wrote is underlined and what jaxon wrote is italics)
black and white hair dye
gloves
hair stuff

i'm so proud of you, you're so smart
that seems sarcastic, but i'm taking it as a compliment so fuck you
nail polish
lego set
"What kind of conversations do you have on notes?" George asks, looking over my shoulder
"You should see the locked notes" Jax says with a smirk in his voice
"NONONO SHUT THE FUCK UP JAXON I SWEAR" My face heats up and I quickly start to walk over to the hair section
"I do not want to know what's in the locked notes" George mumbles
"ANYWAYS, what's the best brand of hair dye?"I ask, looking over the options
"Probably none that you'd find at a walmart" Jaxon jokes
"Don't you dye your hair that streak of red all the time? How do you not know?" George asks
"Because that is one little streak in my hair, so I don't give a fuck if it sucks ass. But this is my whole head so I actually care" I say, still scanning over the aisle
I pick out what I need for my hair, my cake, and everything else before going home and setting everything up.
We decided to start outside since we were gonna dye my hair first
The camera was pointed towards the pool. We had chairs set up on the grass in front of it for us all to sit on. Jaxon was gonna join on call once we actually start to dye my hair, and everyone else (being Tom, Toby, Wilbur, Niki, etc.) is gonna join in later on.
Skylitdreamer went live! BIRTHDAY STREAM :D I'M ALMOST 18
"HEY BITCHES" I say as everyone starts to pile in "Tomorrow is my birthday. And since I'm a streamer and I incredibly overdramatize everything in my life, I'm gonna stream till midnight!!"
Chat spams with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
"We have got some super cool things planned for tonight. Trust me, you don't wanna miss anything. Right now, we are about to dye my hair spilt black and white in honor of Jaxon with an 'X', aka, Ranboob. I've got Dream behind camera, Sap and George, AND A SPECIAL GUEST!" I start to go behind camera to pull the special guest into view
"Hello chat, it's nice to meet you!" His strong Russian accent shocks the viewers
"Everyone, this is Rix! They're pronouns are He/They/She/Xe, so respect that" I say happily "I met them during my break, it's a long story that I'd rather not share right now"
"Yes, I am actually Russian. I can speak it too. I moved here when I was 10" Rix explains, look over chat
"CHAT! Be nice to Rix or I'll cut out your liver and feed it to George" I say, patting him on the head
"What?? I don't eat liver???" George says concerned
"Well, you do now" Rix jokes
"OKAY EVERYONE LET'S GET STARTED ON MY HAIR!" I yell
I sit down in a chair in the middle of the camera view
"Welcome to Rix's hair salon, it's the best in town" She jokes
Xe puts a tarp over my clothes so I don't get any hair dye on it
"I'm nervous. You have so much power over my hair right now" I laugh
"Oh? Did no one inform you?" They smirk
"Inform me of what, exactly" I turn to look at them
"I'm just here to guide you. You're gonna be the one actually doing everything" They hand me the supplies
"Oh fuck me" I groan "This is gonna be even more of a disaster than it was gonna be in the first place"
Thanks to my already dirty blonde hair, I didn't have to bleach any of it. I sectioned my hair off into two parts and put the hair dye on, letting it sit.
"This is perfect, now you're going to be spreading my brand everywhere you go" Jaxon laughs
"I'm so gonna make you dye your hair when I go to the UK" I shake my head
"I will be steadily awaiting your arrival, m'lady" He spins around in his chair
"Holy shit chat, its confirmed. Ranboo is Chat Noir"
"Oh no, please don't remind me of my Ladybug phase" Rix sighs
"IN THE DAY TIME, MY NAMES MARRIONETTE. JUST A NORMAL GIRL WITH A NORMAL LIFE" Sapnap starts singing in an atrocious voice
"Oh no please stop I'm begging you" I sigh
"BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT NO ONE KNOWS YET" Jaxon continues
"NOT YOU TOO JAX" I yell at the camera
"CAUSE I HAVE A SECRET" George continues
"MIRACULOUS! SIMPLY THE BEST!" Sapnap, Jaxon, George, and Rix all sing
When they finish I blankly stare the camera, even though they can't see my eyes. That'd change at midnight
"How" I start with a pause "The FUCK. Do ALL of you know EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMNED LYRIC"
All of them start to break out into laughter, pausing when we hear an alarm going off
"Oh Willowwwwwwww" Clay sings
I look over at Rix and whisper "Save me"
"I'll give you a 5 second head start" He continues
"Oh shit this feels like Manhunt irl what the fuck" I say, hurriedly standing up
Clay walks onto camera, mask from the Mr Beast video on and hose in his hand. The stupid smile on the mask was menacingly staring at me as he itches closer and closer.
"THERE ARE FAR MORE EFFICIENT WAYS TO RINSE MY HAIR OUT, CLAY" I yell
"Yeah but this one is the funniest one, GET EM DREAM!" Jaxon yells
"FUCK YOU JAXON, YOU BETRAYER"
Clay sprays me with the hose and I put my hands up to block it
"EW CIS MAN GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I FACE REVEAL YOU RIGHT NOW"
"DO IT, PUSSY!" HE URGES
"OHOHO THERE'S NO TURNIN BACK NOW THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME PERMISSION" I start walking towards him
"OKAY OKAY ENOUGH WITH THE THREATS, JUST RINSE HER HAIR" Sapnap yells, grabbing me by my waist and pulling me away from Clay
"LEMME AT HIM" I yell, swinging my fists
"Awww what a nice big happy family" Jaxon says happily
"Jaxon please save me" Rix says, coming right up to the camera, but not blocking Sapnap still holding me down as Clay rinses off my hair with the house
"If you ruin my outfit I'm going to the kitchen, grabbing a knife, and stabbing you right here right now on stream" I say as Sapnap lets me go
Everyone goes silent
"IN A VIDEO GAME TWITCH, IN A VIDEO GAME" Jax yells
I walk over to the camera to see how my hair looks.
"How we feelin chat?? Yay or nay?" I ask
Chat explodes with mostly positive opinions, causing me to smile under my mask. They'd be seeing that smile soon.
Throughout the rest of the night I baked, played games, and opened a couple presents from the Dream Team and Rix.
11:55pm
5 more minutes until I'm 18.
5 more minutes until the entire internet sees what both me and my boyfriend look like.
That's not fucking nerve racking at all.
"5 MORE MINUTES WILBITCH, ENJOY YOUR LAST MOMENTS OF CHILDHOOD" Sapnap yells, clearly not completely sober
"Wilbitch? That's a new one" I laugh
"I think Sapnap may or may not have had a lil too much apple juice" Jaxon comments
"Ah yes, spending my first night of being 18 with my drunk roommate, my brother and his boyfriend" Rix had gone home since they had college in the morning
"Am I just your roommate to you? You wound be, Willbitch, I'm wounded" Sap whines
"GOOD. I hope you bleed out on that fucking couch" I mutter
"GIRLS GIRLS ENOUGH FIGHTING IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT" Jaxon said, I could just barely hear the nervousness in his voice
"Willow, c'mere real quick" Clay says, pulling me off camera as he started putting his mask back on
"You don't have to face reveal, you can back out at any moment, okay?" He whispers to where chat can't hear
"Thanks Clay, but I wanna do this. I trust them" I say with a smile in my voice
He smiles back "God damn it you've grown so much. Not just in age, but your confidence. I remember when you didn't even wanna tell them that you're my sister"
"Oh don't get all sappy Clayyyyy" I whine
"Alright alright, go on. But don't expect me not to say anything when this stream is over" He pats my shoulder
"GUYS, 30 MORE SECONDS!" George yells
Me and Clay run out in front of the camera. I was smack in the middle, Sap leaning on the back of my chair. George was on my left, Clay on my right. Jaxon's camera was on, right next to us on screen.
"Are we doing that New Years shit again?" I ask
"We sure as hell are" Clay answers
"10!" All 4 of them shout
"9!"
"8!"
"7!"I join them
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" They all shout, Clay tackling me in a hug
He quickly lets me go and I look at Jaxon as he waits for my cue to pull off his mask and glasses
"FUCK IT!!" I yell, being the cue
Both of us rip off our respective mask and glasses, revealing to the world what our faces look like
"SURPRISE, FUCKERS!!" I yell happily
"YOU GET TO SEE OUR FACES!!" Jaxon yells too
Our faces fill with a huge grin as we watch chat spam
Happy birthday to me..
