[3rd POV]
It was now the final full day that Haley and Billie were going to be in Seattle. And they had decided that today was going to be a day of shopping for some presents, many of which were going to be for Christmas, since that was coming up soon.
The other half of the day was going to be spent eating a nice and rather fancy dinner in the Space Needle.
The presents were mostly on Haley's end, as she now had the money to properly go shopping for Christmas, so she had been buying stuff for her family. Like buying her sister a new laptop to do her schoolwork on. Buying Luke the newest console. And stuff like that.
She had bought her parents the most expensive presents, as you'd naturally expect.

"You sure you want to buy that for your Mom, Haley? She's probably going to freak out once she learns the price tag of that thing" Billie asked with a raised eyebrow, as her girlfriend held a beautiful diamond necklace in her hands.
The necklace itself was worth a little over two thousand dollars. It was a very nice necklace, and was something that Billie was confident that Claire would love...until she found out the price tag.
"I am. And she can freak out as much as she wants, I won't be returning it. She's done so much for me for well...forever, so it only makes sense that I buy her something in return" Haley responded to her girlfriend with a confident nod.
"And what did you get your dad?" Billie asked, curious to find out. She had personally struggled to shop for the man, as he was very...all over the place. But eventually she had bought him a rather nice magic set that had authentic memorabilia worn by some of the most legendary stage magicians in history.
"He was really hard to shop for. Like...way harder than I thought. So I ended up buying him some magic book that is really hard to get. It was written and signed by Houdini. I also bought him some of the handcuffs that the man had gotten out of in one of his shows. That and a new suit that I thought would look good on him when he works" Haley replied.
"He'll love that, babe. And yeah, I struggled shopping for him too. Him and Jay were the hardest to buy for" Billie said, agreeing with her words.
"What'd you get for Grandpa Jay?" Haley asked, interested as they sat in the hotel room and she put away the necklace in a safe space inside of her bag.
Billie smirked at her words.
"You know that dog butler statue that he has in the entrance of his house?" Billie asked, as Haley looked at her as if she was crazy or something.
"No...you didn't!"
"I did. I found a maid female version of "Barkley" called "Rebarkla". I've actually got the thing in my apartment already, it's just hidden in the storage room with the other gifts" Billie replied with a grin, already knowing that the reaction Jay would have would be very fun.
"You do know that Gloria is going to kill you, right?" Haley asked with a deadpan, knowing the Colombian woman was going to be pissed. She hated Barkley, and she would hate Rebarkla even more.
"Eh, she can try. But once she sees the gift that I got her, I doubt she'll complain much" Billie replied with a small smirk on her face.
"Let me guess, it's shoes" Haley bluntly said.
Billie let out a fake gasp "How dare you assume so little of me!" Billie said, with a fake look of shock while Haley snorted.
"I got her shoes and a dress. Not just shoes on their own!" Billie continued, a small grin on her face as her girlfriend rolled her eyes with a small smile on her face, unable to keep it from forming.
"...Do I even want to know how you know her size?"
"Hmm? Oh I just asked Jay. He was a bit confused when I had asked, but told me either way" Billie responded with a shrug, as her girlfriend just sighed at her response.
Jay probably knew exactly why she was asking.

[Flashback End]
After the long shopping haul that had lasted much longer than Billie had been expecting (mostly because Haley really really really liked to shop...like way too much in her personal opinion), the two were now seated at the top of the Space Needle.
The place was pretty beautiful, if you get past the terrifying fact that the floor was pretty much entirely glass. The glass was safe though, so that wasn't really much of a problem or anything. The food that they had been brought was actually quite delicious though.
That surprised Billie, as she was fully expecting for the food to be...subpar at best. But nope, her expectations had been surpassed, with the food being really good, even if it was rather expensive. It wasn't too bad though.
As they ate across from one another, both of them dressed in somewhat fancy clothing. Billie began.
"So, where should we go next?" Billie asked, as Haley blinked and looked up.
"What do you mean?" Haley asked in return, confused on what she was asking.
"I mean where do you want to go next? Like what city, state, or country?" Billie said, as Haley went silent for a few moments.
"Honestly? Right now I'd like to head home and cuddle up in your bed. But if you mean in terms of a vacation...I think going down to New York could be neat. I know certain parts of the city are...well, pretty awful. But there are a lot of things there that I'd love to see in person. Like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty" Haley responded after she had thought for a little bit.
"Huh, I was honestly expecting you to say something like Germany or something. You've brought it up all the time" Billie said, slightly surprised.
"Yeah well that can be expensive. Plus that's a sort of vacation that would take a week or two. I wouldn't want to go down there and only stay for a few days or something" Haley replied, while Billie inwardly smiled.
She had scheduled the vacation in Paris for longer than a few days. They'd have an entire week in Paris, the one place that Haley had always wanted to visit. And Billie had also made sure that they could go to other places in France too if she wanted.
But she had a feeling that Haley would largely wish to remain in Paris. There was a lot to explore, with the city being huge. And as long as you stayed in the right areas, it was beautiful. Other areas...not so much.
"Hmm, that's fair I guess"
"Yeah, and I'd have to get my mom to let me too. And we both know how she tends to be when it comes to me going anywhere without her being there with us" Haley added, knowing that her mom would throw a fit if she decided to go out of the country or something.
Billie knew that too, which is why she had bought her a gift to bribe her with. Otherwise she highly doubted that Haley would be allowed to go into Paris with her.
After that particular conversation ended, the two continued to talk as they enjoyed their food and the beautiful sights that the Space Needle provided.
And soon, the last full day of their time in Seattle ended.
And soon, they'd be back to LA.
And back to their family.

That's the end of the chapter!
So originally I was going to expand this into a crossover with another work, before I realized that her being there for only a few days would just...not allow that to properly work. The last chapter in Seattle (or the part in Seattle), WILL reference the eventually crossover when she returns during her tour.
There'll also be a crossover in New York when she goes there (Several actually). And potentially even one or two in Paris as well.
Anyways, have a good day!
