Elyse Hersh. Waiting for the lights to find my name and give me the life I've dreamed about since I was four.

Now, go to sleep, Hersh. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

You too, okay?

[airon-notafuckup-mauntrey]

Okay, that’s good. Nope, just take care of yourself, Ely.

[princess-elyse-blog]

Yes, sir.

[airon-notafuckup-mauntrey]

Is anyone giving you trouble, Hersh #2?

[princess-elyse-blog]

Nope! Not yet. What about you? Anyone I need to scare off?

[princess-elyse-blog]

Texts to Benji omg

Benji: Hey, it's Benji.

Benji: Look, just don't worry about them, they're just being over protective.

Elyse: I get that. I've always been the baby in my fam.

Elyse: We can be babied together lol

[rainsandford]

Yeah she is. She’s great. They’re all chill. Sometimes i wish I could be that chill. Yeah, totally. Your brother kinda intimidates me but the four of us sounds like a plan.

[princess-elyse-blog]

My brother intimidates you? He's such a nice guy, though, I promise. Just a little protective, but there's nothing wrong with that.

[jaiden-nevergrowup-hesaid]

You will, don’t worry. And I’m sure once I introduce you to Cady, you two will also be friends, she’s great. It’s big… and there’s a lot of things that… don’t make sense. Wow, that must be difficult. I’ll make sure to tell my friends who are not with my godmother anymore, they’ll get the word out.

Yea, but… it’s just life. Ups and downs. It’s okay, don’t worry.

[princess-elyse-blog]

I don't think she likes me very much...She and Benji are like...really close, huh? And whose your godmother? But yeah, any help is appreciated. We're all starting over here and trying to see how far our luck takes us. It's pretty exciting, and amazing that we all came here together.

Exactly. I couldn't agree more.

[rainsandford]

No it’s totally fine. Scout she’s feisty but a..real big sweetheart. and I don’t mind if you ever need anything i’m here. That’s what friends are for right? helping each other out. I for sure will. Ha..yeah I do.

[princess-elyse-blog]

She was really funny when I met her. Way chill. I feel like that's what it's like to be a Pauslen. Just chill. But it's be really cool if I could hang out with you two more. Maybe like you guys and me and my brother. Or whoever, I'm really not picky.

[princedax]

Do I need to make a PSA about this? Because i’m making a PSA about this. My big brother senses are tingling. 

Big brother bear, I like it. It fits because I give good bear hugs.

[princess-elyse-blog]

Thanks, Daxt...not the exact way I pictured my first night to go, but I'll take it even if it ends with us two. You're practically my best friend anyway.

Perfect! We're officially weird little animals.

[jaiden-nevergrowup-hesaid]

Bullies are a thing everywhere, but the key is to have great friends. I do the same thing, except it’s on a wall in the hallway, me and my dad have been filling it since I was 7. Yes, you did! Oh my god, really!? That would be amazing, I mean I wouldn’t be able to audition, but it’d be great to just meet her.

Yup. A lot of people have been rude to me for being my dad’s daughter, it’s stupid but it happens. Of course, yes. We are now officially friends.

[princess-elyse-blog]

Well, hopefully I make some of those. I've never really had...a best friend or anything but I'm still young. And I just met all of you...well, most of you. Now that's a wall I need to see...it's real pretty, I bet. Yeah, I know she'd like that! She's starting from scratch here so it's all very depending on how well everything falls into place socially. So like whatever attention she gets is really good or something.

That's so stupid. And it's not like you even had a choice in being his daughter, you know? You shouldn't be punished for that. Wow. This is really cool. Friends. Oh my god...that sounded so bad. I'm sorry. Just nervous.

[gamertag-benjamin69]

I’m very sorry for this whole thing. My friends are crazy and… how about we just continue this through texts? I’ll DM you my number.I like you, not like oh creepy like, but you’re cool and I don’t want my friends to scare you off. And I want to get to know you, if that’s okay?

[princess-elyse-blog]

Uh, yeah, that's no problem...if I'm causing you some trouble, though, I don't mind like backing off? The last thing I want is for you to get ganged up on for talking to a newbie like me.

[jaiden-nevergrowup-hesaid]

Most people are nice, unfortunately you’ll meet some that aren’t so… nice. Mom’s tend to always be right, so just take her advice, it’s really all you have to do. And of course, don’t worry about what people think, just concentrate on your happiness. Thank you, so much. Umm… yes, really? Babette! Wow, that’s actually such wow. She’s a huge… I look up to her, she’s awesome. You just made my night.

The school I go to is the most recommended for just that. My dad tried to make it all seem normal, but that doesn’t always work out… a lot of people get jealous of what you have and things get… bad. I hope so too, our school is very chill. Don’t worry, you’ll do fine.

[princess-elyse-blog]

Hoping and praying I don't run into too many of those. I had a couple bullies back home, so it'd kinda suck to fall back into a pattern of it. You're so right...I think I'm gonna write that down...put it on my wall. Like...inspiration, haha. I made your night? Me? Well...I can talk to her if you want! I bet she'd love if you stopped by her studio. She told us she's having like these big auditions soon so she can get together a dance troupe. She was all excited.

Jealous? Well...hopefully I can handle that and the school. It wouldn't be weird if I said hi if I saw you in the halls, right?

[princedax]

You mean that boy who’s talkin to ya? it’s my job as an older brother to embarrass you. Let’s be real. Besides i’m sure the shiny fame people don’t mind.

Elyse the tiranaha. It is official. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

What boy? I'm just talkin', Dax. Nothing wrong with that. But I do mind...just a little. It's my first night and all.

And what about you, huh? You gotta be like a big brother bear...except nicer and sweeter and stuff.

[rainsandford]

No need to thank me. I was happy to help. That’s good. Soon you’ll meet ever more people, you’ll probably lose count of how many. It takes a while to get used to..LA but it’s an amazing place. You’ll fit right in don’t worry. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

Well, I don't know how much more I'll need. You guys are such quality friends, I feel like adding too much more, I'll get spoiled. You'll have to show me around sometime, Rain. I'm sure you know the best places around here.

[gamertag-benjamin69]

Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to overwhelm you… we’re just, well I am, very limited to friends. My mom is always worried people will just like us because we’re her kids, but my dad always says to give people a chance… so. I’m just, you seem cool, so I’m giving you a chance. That sounds like a pretty exciting place, I should totally go there some time. It’s fine, just don’t do that with my sister, she gets scared easily. 

I’ll tell you it sometime, whenever you’re free and willing…. you can join me and my friends for a movie.

Don’t be modest. Uncle Ben only works with people he believes in. 

Me too. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

Are you serious? Man, that's got to be like...kinda annoying to always be watching out for. Like if I'm honest, I forgot about who your mom was when we started like...talking and stuff. It's like, you're pretty cool yourself. Just yourself. I mean, so far...we kinda just bumped into each other on this thing. It's not that exciting, just pretty. You gotta create...your own excitement, you know? Oh, Darrien? What's she like? You hardly see pictures of her anywhere, but I know she's really pretty. 

Well, it's not like I have a lot to do....wow, that was a lie, I actually have this whole next week booked...but I think once school starts, I'll start freeing up. It's just really hectic with this move. But I'd love to hang out with you, Benji.

...that is exactly what I needed to hear, actually. I've been having doubts about how this is all gonna work out...it's a lot of pressure, but...if Reuben Pauslen believes in me...well, just know I'm gonna work so hard.

Thanks again, Benji...you're really nice.

[jaiden-nevergrowup-hesaid]

Yes, of course! I’m sure you’ll meet my dad at some point and he’ll say the same. Just let me know when so I can make sure he’s here… on time. Really? I always like to hear that, he works really hard to make sure the fans are happy, and to balance it between me and all this other stuff, I’m just glad to hear his hard work pays off. I’m no one special, just a girl who got lucky to be born to some one who’s big, but thank you. Oh, he… that’s umm. You’re brother, Dax…? He’s nice. Umm, I’m sure it happens a lot. But thanks…? Makes me feel included, sort of.

No place is too small, really. Just because I may not know it doesn’t mean, I mean…the size… it would make… sense. No, it’s fine. You never know, we might actually go to the same school…? Wow, you got really lucky, or you have some great contacts, or just you might just be very talented, that’s amazing. Congratulations! It is pretty extraordinary. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

Thank you so much...you're just...so nice and everyone's really nice and it's always really scary going from place to place and not knowing how you're gonna fit in, but my mom was right. Just stay smiling and confident and people tend to be nice. But you are special...you're so gorgeous and you dance, right? I think I saw a few videos when Aunt Babette was looking into the LA talent. You're like really good. So saying no one special is waaay big of an understatement. Well, I'd hate if you ever felt excluded...

Yeah, it's definitely the size. But I almost got a private tutor so I could focus on just music and have proper schooling on the side, but I really wanted to make a life and friends and still kinda be normal here, so hopefully we go to the same school...because you're like...a guardian angel, honestly. Thank you, oh my god...it's exciting, but I'm just getting started, you know?

[princedax]

A piranha? Nah, you’re like a cute little baby lamb with a boopable nose. But I mean you can be a tiger like momma sometimes. So you’re like a tiger piranha. tiranaha. 

[princess-elyse-blog]

Stoppppp, Daxxxxx, you're gonna embarrass me in front of all the pretty, shiny fame children.

Even though tiranaha does have a nice ring to it...
