The couples will be staying in upscale apartments within San Diego. The building has all the amenities you could want, including a gym, pool, hot tub, balconies in each room, etc.
On the night of their arrival home, (they arrived in the morning) The Producers threw together a party in a large suite. There are drinks and a BBQ meal has been provided with plenty of burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, and all the typical sides that come with that.
Unknown to the couples is that the SINGLES have also been invited! So when the singles show up (aka Speyeria Thatcher ) it will be a surprise to all!
Have fun!!

Greece had been absolutely incredible and Cleo had left it feeling even more in love than when she had said yes to marrying Alex. Life was beautiful so far and she found she was most excited for this stage of the game. She wanted to dive into life with Alex and get things started!
Their new apartment was absolutely beautiful. She wasn't sure how that would really compare to real life when they would likely be living in with much simpler means, but the sentiment was nice anyway and she was enjoying how pretty it all was.
She entered the party that evening with Alex Knight, wearing a simply black strappy dress and sandals.

Alex was pretty excited about their apartment, it was nice, not that his wasnt but this was certainly a step up from where he lived. It did make him a little bit worried about if she would be disappointed about everything but he pushed that out of his thoughts. He opted to wear a pair of light colored jeans and white t-shirt to the party, he had already spent the last hour showering Cleo Saintclair in compliments and a few not so pg kisses. She was a damn goddess to him and even after all their time in greece it was still like seeing her for the first time.
He looked over at her with a grin. "First ones here even after all the distractions.. Do you want me to get you anything Kitten?" He asked softly as he grinned at her.

Greece had been beyond lovely, but River was a little bit glad to be headed back to more normal life and routine. Not only that, but a certain balcony had still been lingering in the back of her mind this whole time... She was looking forward to seeing what it was like, hugging her dad, and listening to her two favorite people in the world discuss Star Wars. Penn and her dad's meeting was going to be good, she had no doubt. It was funny, she felt like she ought to be more worried, but she was only excited about that part. The only thing she was a little nervous about was meeting Penn's family, but she decided that if they liked him, and he liked her, then she might come out of it ok. It just might take her a little bit to be able to breathe properly. After getting a few simple things unpacked in the apartment, and putting on something a little nicer than the hoodie she'd been snuggled up in, she was glad the Producers had put together a party--it meant that neither of them had to worry about cooking dinner while already jet-lagged and tired. She caught herself yawning as she entered the party, and glanced back at Hugh Pennington over her shoulder with a little laugh. "I have to warn you, I might fall asleep on you at some point." |

Penn was definitely looking forward to getting back into real life. Even the best vacations couldn't compare to the feeling of going home, and now Penn would be able to do the going home with the woman he was madly in love with. He wore a simple black t-shirt and dark jeans to the party and complimented River Hughes on her outfit. He loved her style, it really fit her and it was both cute and sexy at the same time.
"Is that a promise?" Penn asked, tossing her a little wink as they came inside to find Cleo Saintclair and Alex Knight already there. "Hey there! Long time no see!" He said jokingly.

Greece had been great! There was still plenty that Dean was looking forward to experiencing with Lainey Yurkovich but he honesty had nothing really to complain about so far. Lainey was still incredible, the woman of his dreams, and he was still as obsessed with her as he had been on their first date.
The apartments they had been put in were awesome too and Dean was looking forward to seeing what real life might feel like with her.
As he stepped into the party, holding Lainey's hand, he made a dramatic sigh upon seeing the others. "Ah man, you guys again?!" He said with mock exasperation before tossing everyone a playful grin and a chuckle. The more time he spent with everyone, the more he grew to like these people and he had a feeling that they would all be life long friends. Or friends for the next few years at the very least.

The jetlag was so real for Val. Maybe Blake would have it easier with the flip floppy time since he had to work overnight the next day. After the day of running around retrieving stuff from their homes for the new apartment, Val showered and grabbed a casual outfit. She had no idea if the flannel was hers, Blake's or even her brother Ryker's. Thanks to Shaan's makeup lessons, Valeria even got some basics done, just some blush and some dark red lipstick. She was wrapped around Blake Carson 's arm as they entered the party, a bright smile on her face. "Hey it's some our favorite people! How was everyone's first day out in the real world?" |

Speyeria couldn't help the excitement that filled her. After so many had left for Stage 2, she found herself missing the pods, and talking to men who weren't going to judge her based on looks or what she did. But she also missed the energy and excitement that the whole experience had brought. So when she'd been asked to return, she jumped on the bandwagon in an instant. She decided to wear a simple yet elegant white blouse with her favorite jeggings and high heeled sandals. She knew it was a barbeque, so she wasn't going to dress up too nicely. She did hesitate entering the room for a moment. She hadn't seen any of the men in person quite yet, so She would need to rely on the ladies to help her keep them straight, but she was excited to see them again too. In her hands, however, she carried a large bowl of the guacamole that had been popular before, as well as a bag of tortilla chips. She knew that everything would be provided, but she couldn't help herself. Once she opened the door, she smiled brightly at everyone who was already present. "Hey guys, nice to see you again! I brought the guac," she greeted cheerily, then went to put the bowl on the table with the rest of the food. Then she turned and looked around. She had no idea who any of these guys were, and yet she was pleasantly surprised at how handsome they all were. She took a deep breath. |

Post by Lainey Yurkovich on Jun 24, 2020 16:14:39 GMT
Lainey wasn't sure if she wanted to leave Greece, but the had missed Dug terribly and had wanted to at least see him. She was less than a little thrilled at the idea of subjugating Dean to the clutches of her mother and sisters quite yet. She could think about all that later however, it was BBQ time!
Despite her efforts, and Dean's helpful hands at applying sunscreen, Lainey still burned. Her Irish blood making itself known, but at least it wasn't as bad as it had been yesterday. She was dressed in her usual go to of jean capri's, sandles and a blue graphic t-shirt that said "Oh, Crop!" with the cropping tool from photoshop on it.
She laughed at Dean's dramatic sigh. "I think we're getting followed! They won't leave us alone!" She added as she waved to Cleo and River. She'd made fast friends with the two, and hoped they stayd in touch even after all of this was over. Someone walked in then, and Lainey did a double take. In fact she reached up rubbed her eyes wanting to make sure she was seeing things correctly. "Spey!? What are you doing here?!" She asked in surprise at seeing the other woman. Had she finally settled on someone? She began to look around for Trout, or even Percy but didn't see any boys she didn't already recognize. What was going on?

Today had been a busy day, to say the least, but Blake liked busy. It kept him active and made him feel productive. After putting some of the things away they'd brought back to the apartment, and after Val showered, Blake took one as well. He was dressed casually in cargo shorts, his vans, a dark grey t-shirt, and he had a black baseball cap turned backward on his head. He wore his contacts so he didn't have to worry about losing his glasses.
As he and Val arrived, he was already looking suspiciously at the food, but that was only because he was a food snob and judged anything he hadn't made himself. He waved everyone he saw as he looked down at Val grinned at her. "What are you drinking?" He asked her. Pokeing her hip as he made way to the bar to get her what she wanted, while he got a bottle of water for himself.

Santorini, now that sounded fun! Percy was a little jealous of the destination but not bitter about it. He was happy to have made many friends and expand his circle of friends to not just musicians. Maybe one of them would have another friend that he'd get along with or something. He did want to see his friends again so he loaded up his most adventurous cat into his car, leash and all. Captain was a floofy 24lb Maine Coon with only his left eye and wearing a tiny pirate hat. Percy himself was dressed pretty casually. Percy was rather shy in showing up, not actually sure if any of the other singles were going to be there. Still, he slowly peeked in before walking in with his cat. "Ummm, hi?" |

"I'm good for now, thanks lover." Cleo said to Alex Knight, and stood on her toes to kiss his lips softly. She beamed as everyone came in, she wasn't tired of them yet. She shook her head with a smile and Dean's dramatics.
Her eyebrows raised when Speyeria Thatcher came in and she beamed. "Spey!" She said at the same time that Lainey Yurkovich did. She was about to move towards the girl when a man came in with the biggest cat she'd ever seen. Though she had never seen him before he could only be one person. "Percy?!" She asked. Wow, she really hadn't expected the singles to be here.
She walked over to him, remembering how he had explained this particular cat. "Is this Captain?!" She asked him with that typical, 'girl adoring a cute animal' voice. "Can I pet him?" She asked and then realized that Percy wouldn't know her. "Oh, I'm Cleo." She said with a little blush for having been magnetized towards the kitty cat as essentially a stranger.

Valeria found it ironic that however picky Blake would be about food, she rarely was. That was part of being balanced and meant to be right? Now if it were about beer, that would be an entirely different story. "Just rum and coke," she replied when he had asked her what she wanted. It was simple enough.
Suddenly everything started changing. Speyeria of all people had walked in. That one was a surprise, had they totally missed her in Greece or something? But also she was alone, so that was weird too. And then a man with a cat walked in and Val nearly choked on her drink when she realized that he was literally walking a pirate hat clad cat on a leash. There was only one person she could even think of that would be in that position.
"Spey and Percy?" she blurted out. She could see that have happened. When, she wouldn't know but production did love their surprises.

Dean chuckled at Lainey's response and squeezed her to his side briefly when they were all distracted by the newcomers. He had no idea who the girl was, but Lainey soon answered that question. He looked a little confused, why was she here? Not that he minded, he had never had an eye for anyone by Lainey so he didn't feel awkward around any of the girls.
However, the man he definitely new and he laughed brightly. "Percy!! Hey man! Welcome back!" He greeted the guy who had actually decided to bring a cat with him, somehow Dean wasn't surprised at all.

Shaan had totally made them late. She lost track of time and ended up scrapping any prepping for this and came down in a pair of grey sweatpants and a cropped black tanktop, she had been working out and kind of forgot there was a party tonight, she was however on Parker Domino 's arm, she was talking about something to do with drawing him at some point but when they walked through the door she stopped talking. "Spey? What are you doing....is that a fucking cat...with a.. Percy! Dude.. What the hell are you guys doing here." She said with a laugh. She looked over at Parker with a grin and then a small frown crossed her face. If they werent in Greece then they weren't together..and if two people who weren't together were here.. would the other people who were single be here too? She felt a small ball form in the pit of her stomach, eh maybe it was nothing. She gave a soft smile to everyone in the room, sneaking a small wave into Valeria Winter and Blake Carson |

Parker was more than ready to be social that day, he had mulled about the apartment working on blog stuff via his phone because the two of them had been too lazy to go actually go to their own places just yet. At least their temporary home was in good order by now.
There was a stranger at the party! Parker hadn't seen a new face in weeks! The girls made it obvious who that was, but he was still caught by surprise. "Ohmigoshthatcatissofluffy!" he gasped in about the same tone as Cleo. "Percy, can I be his friend? Pretty please?" he asked, staring at the floofy cat.
Then he realized. Percy was here. "Wait... what are you doing here?" he asked, though he was still distracted by the cat.

"Hey guys...I'm Percy," He introduced himself with a shy wave and shyer smile. "Yeah, of course you can pet him. Captain loves people," Percy said, turning his attention to Cleo and Parker. Cats, they're good social buffers. "You can absolutely be his friend," he laughed.
"Oh well production invited me, I don't live in the building or anything but I thought I'd come say hi because I made some really cool friends."
Captain meowed and enjoyed all the love. He headbutted Cleo for pets.
