The One With the Sixth Jonas Brother

I’m in a hotel room with Brody, Blake, Renee, and my mom. Someone brings up Blake’s hair and my mom mentions the fact that he “doesn’t wash it anymore” (not in real life) and that “that’s why it’s thinning.” At some point, Brody and Blake are replaced with Kevin and Joe Jonas. My mom asks us all if we want to do Thanksgiving food on Christmas again, to which Joe responds that the rest of us need to be more involved in the dinner plan. I can’t tell if he’s saying that we all need to be more helpful or if he’s saying my mom’s ideas are boring. He wraps up by saying, “If it’s the Thanksgiving food again, I don’t even want to do it.” Annoyed by this whole thing, I say, “You don’t have to come then.” He laughs it off. We move into a tiny kitchen where the bathroom should probably be and I randomly start thinking about how all of the Jonas brothers have daughters. I hear them talking about their brother “Anthony” and say, “Wait… there’s another brother besides Frankie?!” They laugh and confirm this, to which I respond, “Six boys? Holy Jesus!” (I don’t seem to realize this is only five boys.) I end up chatting with Joe and telling him about how I pretended not to like the Jonas Brothers as a kid. He smiles and says, “You were shy.” I vaguely get the feeling that he likes me and wonder if it’s because I remind him of Sophie Turner (in real life, Aunt Buggy has told me that Sophie Turner reminds her of me somehow). I end up seeing a bunch of girls from the church making desserts in the kitchen. Rose and I smile at each other as I take two weird, small, purple cookies and squeeze them together to make a sort of macaron.
