look at her now

Honestly, always thought I couldn’t cancel you, but these words affect me, Selena! Remember when we made that song together? I think that was the last time we were all truly together so, time for catch-up. No, no, Kevin got much older so, Team Nick is here to win! Same games, same teams, but not the same results. Yeah, of course, thought maybe we could celebrate your birthday this week? Go out, have fun, end up in a hot air balloon, it rhymes. 

I’m un-cancellable, Nick. I’m an innocent angel and everyone loves me. You can’t cancel that! And that was years ago, so we’re most definitely long overdue to hang out. In what world does that rhyme? But a hot air balloon ride sounds both terrifying but exciting. Just don’t mind me if I have a death grip on you at any point while we’re in the air. 

You know what I don’t understand? People who don’t like ice cream. What’s not to love about ice cream? Especially in the summer. It’s a crime against humanity to dislike ice cream and I don’t know if I could trust someone who doesn’t. Anyway, I’m only talking about ice cream because I remembered there’s that ice cream party tomorrow. Which of my fellow ice cream enthusiasts will be accompanying me on an ice cream eating expedition?

You may love ice cream. But do you love ice cream so much that you collabed on a song titled Ice Cream? I also volunteered for a week at Sprinkles, since it meant I had the opportunity to taste test all of the delicious flavors. I feel like we just may be ice cream soulmates, Misha. But first I need to know the most important question...what is your favorite flavor? 

Team Joe? Cancelled, Selena, cancelled. Oh, man, I thought about those too, and it was a shame they stopped that because honestly, that was too fun. Should we put out a petition to make sure we can do a Disney Channel Games reunion? Same teams, same games. I am not sure if everyone is down, but you and I are so, we’ve got that already; who wouldn’t want to join us? Also, how beautiful is this place?! I’ve thought about a lot of destinations, but this one, nope.

Oh my gosh, I apologize. Because I’m actually Team Anyone But Nick. Psh, you can never cancel me, Jonas. I’m so down for having a Disney Channel Games reunion. I feel like it’s long overdue at this point and it would be fun just to see everyone and catch up. Well in that case, Team Yellow with Kevin and I will kick your ass. Honestly, I’m blown away by how beautiful it is here. I’m so excited to explore everything and see everything it has to offer. If your itinerary isn’t already jam packed, it would be nice to hang out with you for a bit.

For anyone who ever watched the Olympics and thought, ‘I could do that,’ let me tell you something, you can’t. Tomorrow, July 21, three average joes or jonas’ will try all types of Olympic sports… it will be a mess, but it will be a fun watch! As you can tell, doing selfish self-promoting here. Anyway, I’m Nick, the winner of the series, kidding, kidding, but it was a lot of fun to work on. Tell me your favorite sports, and if you don’t have any, tell me your favorite takeaway restaurant because all this working out got me hungry. @townofbayview​

I have to say, I tuned in and I was very impressed by the athletic skills I saw from all three of you. I was rooting for Team Joe though, sorry not sorry. It also made me nostalgic for the old school Disney Channel Games. I feel like we need to bring that back now just for old times sake. You think we could round up the old crew and make it happen again?

Perfect! Maybe like once a month sleepovers. How’s that sound? I am, I am! See you there? By the way, are you participating in the volleyball tournament?

That sounds like so much fun, I’m in! I didn’t participate, but I did go down and watch the game! Even though your team lost, you still kicked ass. 

That was my intention. They’ll forever be a moment. I am! I’ll be there and I’ll be looking for you. I’m down to do anything all day long with you. This is our perfect excuse to meet up and spend all day together - not that we really needed one anyway. Also, now that it’s officially ‘as soon as you walk out of the shower you start sweating’ season we need to make all the plans for beach days. Like, I’m taking temporary residency at the beach until summer is over. 

I’m glad we can agree on that. Although I’ll never tell them that to their faces, since I know how much their egos would inflate. I have to say, all day on the beach with you, delicious food, and the fireworks was all my heart could have ever wanted. You know I’m always here for all the beach days, babe! It’s the perfect excuse for me to show off the new swimwear collab I have going on right now. My only request is that afterwards, we go out for ice cream.

I think we all do, I kind of wish there was a way where for a week or even two we could live in the world of the simpler times.  I know you can do that while camping and going off grid.  But in the long run it is not the same.  It always happens at the events like that though, we both know this.  Other than promotion for a series for HBO Max and a new movie nothing much.  You?  

I’m right there with you. I’d love to go back to a world where I could just sit in front of the television, eating my favorite snacks, and watching the best cartoons. Sure you can go off the grid, but there was just something magical about living in that decade as a kid. I think it’s something a lot of us wish we could time travel back to for a little bit. What’s this new HBO Max series you speak of? I’ll have to check it out, since I’ve been looking for some more things to watch. I’ve just been busy with working. I have a swimsuit collaboration that I’m working on, as well as getting ready for my new Hulu show to premiere soon. I’ve been a busy bee, but I’ve been good!

wow, i feel you there. just love the beach, the nice sea breeze, the sun setting or rising, going for a swim whenever you want… hell, i even like the sand sometimes. especially after a long winter, it’s just so nice to feel summer engulfing you. did you enjoy your weekend selena? should we just let you live on the beach from now on?

I’m right there with you. I love both the beach and the pool in the summer. But I have to admit, it was a nice and refreshing feeling going back home and showering and also sleeping in my own bed again. It was still an amazing experience and I regret absolutely nothing. I had the time of my life this weekend, did you? I feel like I thrive on the beach in short spurts. I still need the luxury of going home to shower and wash all the sand and salt off. And I also get cranky if I don’t get a good night’s sleep after a few nights. So it’s crucial that I go home and sleep in my own bed. 

Forever? No thanks, it sounds so uncomfortable. Also, you’d definitely get hot flushed because of the weather, and I think I’d rather avoid all of that. Did you sleep in the bathing suit you wore all the day? See, I couldn’t do that. There has to be some sand stuck down there and…yeah I’d rather not. I also need showers and all of that. So I’ll sadly be passing on keeping you company. 

Okay maybe not actually forever. I would get way too annoyed by the sand and I’d miss my bed. I only spent one night camping out, and even then I was ready to sleep in my own bed. I fell asleep in a clean and dry bathing suit. Just so I wouldn’t have to change in the morning and I could just wake up and go. I was smart about it. But I wore the suit all day long, until I went home to shower and change later on. 

As much as I would love that since I love the beach, Willa wouldn’t love it. She’s very much not loving the sand all over her no matter how much we wipe if off. Somehow it keeps find its way onto the blanket we set out and end up with mildly cranky baby. Doesn’t help she started rolling over so it’s like we’ve got a little escape artist on our hands. You went for a polar bear dip? Well at least it can’t be too cold in the morning in July, right? 

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it with your little one. I can’t say I blame her though. Sand can be annoying when it sticks to you and gets all over everything. I can’t even tell you how much sand I tracked into my tent. And of course it’s impossible to get out. I can only imagine how much sand she had all over her by the time you guys got home. I’m sure she went right into the bath tub. Not going to lie, it was a little cold for me first thing in the morning. But obviously the water was amazing as it warmed up later on. Did you guys have fun? It was nice running into you and seeing you for a bit! I can’t get over how much Willa has grown since the last time I saw her!

We’re allowed to do that? Well, damn. You’d think I’d know something ‘bout that, but apparently this is news to me. Waking up on the beach with an early morning swim sounds so good right now. I should’ve planned ahead, set up camp on the beach and watch the fireworks. Literally living the best life — you thought of damn near everything, girl. Bowing down to the queen. Don’t mind me stealing this idea for my own little beach camp-out in the future.

Yeah of course! Some people chose to camp in an RV instead of a tent. I just chose the tent, since I thought it would be more of an adventure for the night. Please, feel free to go right ahead and set up camp for yourself. It was kid of a spontaneous idea, since I decided on it a few days beforehand. But it was so much fun and I highly recommend it. I only did it for one night, since all I wanted to do afterwards was go home, shower, and crawl into my own bed.
