Tumblr media
Because of Blue Lock, you and your boyfriend weren’t able to hang out as often as you could before. Which is why on the days that he was actually allowed a to leave, he would always visit you and take you on dates. Today was the same, and this time, he brought you to an arcade.
You and Chigiri had been circling the arcade for perhaps an hour or two now, yet it didn’t seem that either of your energies were beginning to quell. In fact, it seemed that the longer that the two of you remained in each other’s presence, the richer your hearts became; this fact grew more obvious when you even began repeating machines and games, returning to certain areas maybe two or three times.
The both of your pockets were overflowing with tickets, to the point where you had even began to drape the large streams of winnings you had across your shoulders like a scarf. As for Chigiri, he would scrunch the papers up and just carry them around like a ball, only dropping them to his feet when he needed to use his hands in a game. The two of you had stayed in the arcade much longer than anyone else had, so it was no wonder why the both of you had accumulated the most successes.
Soon, the both of you reached the air-hockey board once more, and he dashed around to slot another coin into the game.
“Ready for another rematch?” Chigiri grinned widely, reaching for one of the mallets.
“Oh, you’re on.” A wide smile of determination crew on your face as you watched him drop his tickets to the floor and even begin gathering his hair to tie it back. “We’re getting serious now, are we?” You giggled as he pulled a hair tie from his wrist to wrap it around a clump of his hair.
Chigiri smirked, before he then took hold of the mallet once more. “You know I always get serious,” he said, not even missing a beat as he was already smacking the puck at the other end of the board, his eyes intently following his move throughout the entire duration. “Don’t be surprised if you lose again.” He said with a confident snicker.
“You better put a cap on that confidence, because I’m making my comeback!” You cackled, whacking the puck back to his side of the table. “I hope the king’s been practising his kneeling, because I’ve got this one set.”
“Oh is that so…” Chigiri responded with nothing of his usual snicker, instead taking a more calm approach to this match, as if his confidence was at stake from the threat your words were currently attempting to impose upon his. He then began to make several quick passes back and forth, as his eyes remained trained upon the puck the entire time. “I’m looking forward to witnessing your ego crumble, you know.” He responded with a smile.
“Well, sorry to disappoint, but this game is mine!” You announced proudly, sending back the puck that he hit towards you with all of your strength, watching as the flat cylinder was making a line straight to his goal. Your eyes widened with anticipation as it neared the entrance, your irises gleaming with premature excitement.
You were sure you would have screamed your own victory if it hadn’t been for Chigiri intercepting your connection with winning and returning the puck to you. You had been so keen on your brush with the trophy that you hadn’t even considered him hitting it back. So when it was back in your court, you were caught completely off-guard when it ricocheted off the wall and landed in your goal.
“Damn it!” You yelled out
He snickered, his grin widening as he then brought the mallet back with a firm grip on the handle as he returned the puck back to your side of the board.
“Oh, so cocky,” Chigiri spoke, seeming to have thoroughly enjoyed the exchange. However, despite the teasing remark, his tone stayed calm, not even having a hint of hostility or teasing in it. “Seems like your efforts are futile.” he asked, as though expecting a challenge, or some new comeback from you.
“It was a lucky shot.” You told him sourly as you picked the puck back up and threw it against the table to prepare for a second round. “Watch now, I’m locking in and you’re not gonna score any more goals! Your football tactics won’t work here!”
And well, they didn’t, but he won nevertheless, and you watched with shattered disappointment as more tickets began spewing from the slots of the machine, indicating his landslide victory.
“You know, every game has its own little rule set,” Chigiri said, his tone holding a slight sense of satisfaction, although it wasn’t exactly gloating- more so just a friendly jab. As the tickets began to slowly pour out from the machine, Chigiri took notice- his eyes widening as he stared at the steady stream in shock once more. “Wow.” he muttered.
Your eyes remained on him with a wide smile as he began to gather up all of the tickets that he had accumulated into his arms once more. It was irritating that he seemed to be so good at every game in the arcade that the two of you went on, but it didn’t particularly matter at the end of the day as all you knew was that you were having fun. Chigiri saw in your eyes how simply content you were to be in his presence, despite him dominating every single machine, but the fact was that every single one of his tickets was going to be spent on you anyway.
“You ready to exchange our tickets now?” You grinned as he finally picked up the paper hall.
“Of course.” Chigiri responded, although with another smirk on his face as he stared at you, seemingly to have caught on to the fact that the entire time, the way that your eyes had remained trained on him was to no doubt simply that you were satisfied.
When the two of you had put all of your tickets into the exchange machine and were left with the card that displayed your shared winning counter, Chigiri handed the card solely for you to take as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder to pull you into a cute hug while you walked to the desk. You stared down at rhe slip of paper rhat held both of your victories with a wide smile, your thumb tracing over the text lightly.
“What do you plan on spending the tickets on?” He asked.
“I don’t know… We could get anything here!” You told him as you peered at the selection of prizes, the open range of what was available to the two of you being a reminder of how long the two of you hand spent in the arcade.
“Well…” he thought for a moment, staring at the vast array of items as well, before his mind instantly went to the only things that mattered to him in this moment. “How about we get plushies?” He suggested, pointing towards the arsenal of stuffed toys on the shelf. He figured that if anything, you’d find the idea adorable.
“Oh my god, yes!” Your eyes lit up with excitement as you desperately clutched his arm to gesture towards a particular pair that had caught your eye.
“Let’s get those two! The two cat ones!” You squealed, drawing your attentions directly to two plushies that were leaning against each other on the display. Your mind couldn’t help but buzz about how those plushies reminded you of the two of you, and your heart fluttered with the idea of actually getting your hands on the fuzzy cuties.
Chigiri had no qualms with the suggestions, instead following your excited gestures towards the two plushies. “The cats, right?” he turned back for reassurance before approaching the desk, and when you nodded, he made his request to the person by the register.
Once the stuffed animals were taken off display, Chigiri used up the rest of his remaining points to spend it on candy that the two of you could share. He loaded his pockets with lollipops and liquorish before reaching for the plushies, carrying them in his arms back to you as though they were real cats.
Your arms were already out to joyfully take the one cat that you knew was going to be yours, and you squeezed it with all of your might once he handed it to you. Your cheek pressed against the warm fluff of the fuzzy toy, and you cradled the cat like it was your firstborn child.
“So cute.” He whispered when he saw the glow of your smile; he couldn't help but grin as well.
“I love them! They’re so adorable!” You quipped, holding your cat up beside his so you could lay your gazes on the commemoration of this memory.
“Right?” Chigiri agreed, leaning in towards you with his own cat in hand and then moving both toys closer together so that their faces would be side-by-side, their little arms reaching so that they almost looked as if they were trying to touch the other.
He seemed to enjoy the look of having both plushies side-by-side so that they looked like they were cuddling. The two toy cats were left standing beside one another, their tails interlocked as though they were performing the act of holding hands themselves. Chigiri’s eyes remained locked with yours while a smile spread across his face, although he wasn’t sure if it was from finding the cats adorable or from simply staring into your eyes.
“What are you gonna name yours?” He then asked, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly as he leaned against you once more.
“Hm… Akane is very fitting. So whenever I see it, I think of you.” You grinned, holding the cat up to his face.
Although the cat wasn’t actually a deep red like the name suggested, you wanted a title that reflected the nickname given to your boyfriend on the field. The world knew him as ‘the red panther’, so your plushie would mirror just that. It brought him joy thinking about how the plushie had actually been given a name that matched his football title, although he wondered if that would ever cause the toy to be mistaken for him by passer-bys.
"Akane. That's a cute name," Chigiri smiled, looking down at the plushie as you held it up as if it was in fact a cat and not a lifeless toy. “So, what's my cat's name then?" He asked, his voice holding a playful hint as he wondered what name you had chosen to give his plushie.
“It’s yours, you have to choose a name!” You told him sternly, lowering your plushie again to hug it.
“Uh…” Chigiri pondered for a moment, glancing down at the cat toy as he tried to find a suitable enough name. He really did want the name to match his presence or resemble it in some way, as he felt as though this little gesture would be something that he would truly enjoy. “Hm…” Chigiri thought about it, taking a quick glance down at the cat as he shifted his position so that he could wrap his free arm around your shoulders.
“What if I called mine (Y/n) … Would you be offended?” He asked with a smirk.
Your entire face heated up with blush when his arm slinked around your shoulders to hug you, pressing your plushies together with a grin.
“Only if you don’t replace me with that cat.” You commented teasingly.
Chigiri smirked, the side of his head pressing against your own. "No promises." he joked.
The two toy cats remained pressed against one another, the pair of them as if they were a set that had been purchased together.
"I suppose I'll have to take the real version of you over a plushie," he muttered after staring at the prize long enough, his words seeming to carry more than just the playful teasing of earlier, “you’re a lot cuter." He added, his words bringing about a teasing tone once more, but his grip around you was still strong and his cheek still pressed against you.
“So cheesy…” You giggled.
"I may be cheesy, but at least I know I’m a lot more tastier than the alternatives." Chigiri playfully responded, still keeping the joking tone in his voice before adding on another cheeky remark. "Plus, I’m pretty sure plushies don’t cuddle back."
“Well, when you take this plushie back to Blue Lock, you can hug it when you sleep as if I’m there.” You teased.
"Yeah? Will the plushie also complain to me about its back pain? Will it also take up the majority of the bed during nights and leave little space for me?" Chigiri asked, jokingly listing off some of the things you would do when you slept, things that he was already quite used to anyways. "And will the plushie make me have to go to sleep early as well?" He asked just before cracking a grin.
Your jaw dropped before you let out a giggle. “Well, maybe your plushie is just concerned about you getting a full night’s rest before a game!”
"Or, maybe the plushie is just trying to deprive me from the joys of life by trying to force me to take more than six hours of sleep before every match, hmm?" Chigiri suggested, seeming to enjoy this back-and-forth of teasing, although he knew that it was his way of flirting with you.
“Well maybe you could do with a little extra hours of sleep!”
Chigiri rolled his eyes in jest of the comment, making a face as if he was offended as he then leaned his head against yours once more. “And what do you know about sleep?” He asked, the playful, teasing tone clearly prominent in his voice.
“Well, I’ve slept with you a couple of times, so I would say I’m pretty skilled.” You grinned at the suggestive comment. He couldn’t help but snicker as you had made that response, although it took him a few seconds to compose himself as he seemed to be taken aback by the flirty nature of your words. Even though you had slept together several times already, he still was never able to get used to hearing you make such remarks that were clearly intended to embarrass him.
"Well, you do have a point," Chigiri responded after letting out a final breath from his laughs, returning the suggestive comment with one of his own. "Are you implying I keep you awake too often?"
“Not enough.” You shrugged with a smirk.
Chigiri's grin widened as he then leaned in closer to you as though to whisper in your ear, "Is that a challenge then?" he asked, the teasing tone still prevalent in his voice as he tried to match the same nature of the moment, as though he was trying to see just what would happen if it was taken further. “(Y/n)?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, are you talking to me or the plushie?” You replied, shattering the dark and flirtatious turn that the conversation had taken to return to the friendly teasing, a choice which was received with a chuckle.
"I think I'm speaking to the real (Y/n) and not the toy," he then responded with his own joking comment, his tone remaining playful, but with just the slightest amount of flirtatiousness in it. "Unless... Are you saying you're no different than the plushie?"
“I’m totally different! That plushie can’t give you forehead kisses.”
"That's true, only the real you can do that," Chigiri responded confidently, reaching up to brush back your hair away from your face before tilting his lips closer to your head. "May I?" he asked, leaning only an inch or so away from your forehead.
“You may.” You smiled brightly at your boyfriend, your heart fluttering with compassion.
With your permission, Chigiri planted a soft peck onto your forehead before looking down at you again with so much love in his eyes you could swear he was looking at his world. The distance between the two of you had closed so much that your plushies were pressed between your stomachs as you continued to smile at one another, the atmosphere of each other’s presence filling you with so much desire.
However, right before your boyfriend was able to lean down to kiss your lips instead after staring at you for so long, you two were suddenly interrupted by the sound of excited buzzing as you were approached by a duo that you did not personally recognise.
“Chigiri?!” A voice called out, and your attention was diverted towards a man with black hair and large blue eyes that led the crowd of friends.
“Is this the titular girlfriend you speak so much about?” Another man of the same height appeared behind the one who had previously spoken, this time having a bob cut with a bleached underside.
You watched as the pair approached your boyfriend with wide smiles, eager to find their best friend with what seemed to be his partner.
“What are you guys doing here—?” Chigiri’s eyes widened, holding your hand with one palm as he cradled his plushie with the other, involuntarily shifting you to hide behind him— as if the other two hadn’t already seen you.
“We were also let out of Blue Lock, you know! You think we wouldn’t wonder where you were?” Isagi exclaimed. “We wanted to hang out!”
“Why haven’t you ever introduced us to your girlfriend before?” Bachira swiftly found himself peeping behind Chigiri’s hip to stare at you, giving you a wide and cheese smile— Which you awkwardly reciprocated. “She’s very pretty!”
“You guys…” Chigiri’s entire face had been painted with blush, still keeping you behind him.
You couldn’t help but smile sweetly at the gesture, watching as your boyfriend’s flushed face attempted to hide his flustered embarrassment. So he had been too nervous to tell his teammates about you, huh?
“Don’t just stand there nervously, Hyouma!” You giggled, shifting from behind him to present yourself in a more friendly manner to both Bachira and Isagi. “Introduce me to your friends!”

satoru first found out he felt lovestruck towards you when you helped him out with something, and when you smiled at him, saying `you're welcome.` while smiling, his heart pounded so hard in his chest that he felt like it would fall out. he had to admit, you were maybe the prettiest woman he had ever seen in his eyes, the prettiest smile, everything about you was the prettiest in his eyes.
one time when you two were hanging out together, at some sort of a festival, you guy`s kept getting sweet foods, savory foods, played games, and all you guy's did was smile and giggle at each other, and satoru thought you were the key to his heart.
"she's so pretty, so beautiful, so, so-" his thoughts were mainly all about you, his romantic feelings for you, he wanted to be more than friends, if that wasn`t obvious enough yet.
"hey, satoru! wanna go play that game over there?" you pointed your finger at the game with the little pac-man arcade machine. he smiled while saying a simple of course!, so you guy`s rushed towards the pac-man machine. once you inserted the tickets to play the game, you guy's took turns playing. after a few turns, satoru tapped your shoulder, as if wanting to have some sort of a conversation.
"hey, can we talk.. in private?" he said, trying his best to put a smile on his face. you looked up at him with a confused face, as if asking `what are you talking about?`. you still, put a smile on your face before replying.
"sure." you guy`s then walked somewhere more private for this conversation. once you guy`s found somewhere more private, like an alleyway or something. you guy`s then stood across from each other with serious, straight faces. then, after some awkward silence, satoru finally spoke up, taking a deep breathe.
"i have something to.. confess?" satoru said, taking yet, another deep breathe, kind of hesitating to say what he was gonna say, thinking you wouldn`t feel the same way as him.
"i like- no, i love you." you still had a straight face, just all that was really different about your expression was the widened eyes on your face. after some silence and thinking, you took both of his hands in yours, smiling with a dash of blush covering your cheeks.
"oh satoru... i like you too, but please, don`t be so hesitant about this.." your smile was so evident to his heart, he couldn't stop from hugging you lovingly, yet so tightly. he buried his face into your shoulder, kind of near the side of your neck.
"thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." was all satoru could murmur out of his mouth, he was so evidently happy at this very specific moment.

A Ghost of Yourself Chapter 1
Chapter 1 - A Feeling of Dread
Welcome and enjoy! All characters are of course owned by their original intellectual properties and this story is in no way canon.
- -      -
Danny wasn't sure what to think when his parents said they would be collaborating with the Guys in White for a contract. He knew nothing good would come from it. Jazz had even voiced her concerns, citing the times the GIW had tried to steal their work. His parents just brushed off their worries, stating the project was research focused rather than weaponry. It relieved some of Danny's worries, but he couldn't shake this nagging feeling.
"If its focused-on research how much harm could it cause?" Sam reassured as the collection of herself, Danny and Tucker settled in for movie night in Sam's home theater. The theater was in the basement, red curtains hanging by the large movie screen.  A few chairs and piles of pillows were strewn about for the group to chill on. There was even a popcorn and soda machine in the back of the room next to a few classic arcade games.
"Yeah, Danny, what if they finally find evidence to support your side? Y'know the fact ghosts are the same as people and there is good and bad." Tucker piped in as he plopped into the cushiony seat with a bounce, extra-large popcorn and soda in hand.
"I don't know, Tuck. They've found stuff like that before, and they always find a way to twist it to fit their view on ghosts." Danny rambled, running his hand through his hair. "I just hope they'll be careful around the GIW and maybe let some research spill at home so I can eavesdrop."
"You could always follow them." Sam suggested. She watched confused as the boys just stared at her.
"You think Danny should follow his parents into the base of a bunch of ghost hunters hired by the government to research and destroy anything undead?" Tucker asked. "Are you insane?"
"Sorry Sam I'm with Tucker on this one, I don't think I could get close without catching someone's attention, human or ghost." Danny sighed, "Let's just get the movie started, what's on the menu?"
"Femalien 2: Predator vs Prey, Terminatra 7: Back to the Present Again, or Nightmerica: Dreams of Terror." Sam listed off just as Danny felt a cold wisp of air leave his lips.
"FEAR ME! I AM THE BOX GHOST!" screamed the Box Ghost, the cry making its way in from outside.
"Raincheck you guys, boxy shouldn't take me too long." As a flash filled the room and Danny flew through the walls disappearing.
"Ten bucks says Skulker shows up before he can come back." Tucker bribed.
"You're on, we took out his suit last week. Meanwhile, Kitty and Johnny 13 have been fighting again." Sam accepted, starting up a movie knowing it would be done before he got back.
- -      -
The following weeks were surprisingly uneventful, a sign Danny took to heart. His parents had been extra careful not to leave out any notes or research in the house, not even in the lab. Refusing to give any hints as to what they were working on. Ghosts had been scarce, nothing except ectopuses and blob ghosts. The GIW agents had been the complete opposite, they were at an all-time high. You couldn't go more than ten minutes without spotting a white van. He was glad he didn't need to save anyone from those agents, but he had a really bad feeling that something was going to happen. School was his only time away from the ghost hunters it felt like.
"Calm down, Danny. So, you have had a few good weeks, you've caught up on homework and Lancer isn't on your back nearly as much." Sam soothed as they took a seat outside in the courtyard for lunch. The hustle and bustle of students drowning out any chance of being overheard.
"Yea, dude even Dash has been picking on you less. Though that could be due to the championship coming up." Tucker added his mouth full of sloppy joe. The bully in question was across the court passing a football with his teammates, Paulina and her socialites sitting on the table watching them. Dash caught Danny's gaze and gave him a smirk dragging his finger across his neck.
"Don't remind me, I still remember last year when we lost. Dash was bully all nerds on sight that week." Danny grimaced as he ate. "But my parents have been really excited this week. Apparently, something big is coming." As if speaking it into the universe the Fenton GAV made its way barreling down the street, some white vans in tow.
"Spoke too soon, dude." Tucker whispered as they watched the GAV dodge and swerve to miss any pedestrians. The vehicle finally came to a stop on the grass with Drs. Fenton and the GIW rushing out to follow a gadget in Jack's hands.
"He's here somewhere, I just know it! Come out ghost scum!" Jack exclaimed barreling straight to Danny. The whole group of hunters stared at the young boy and his friends. "Aww. It didn't work, Maddie. It’s still stuck on Danny-boy." Now that they were closer Danny was able to see the Fenton Finder in his father's hands. It looked like it had been upgraded, it was bigger with handles on the sides and no voice stating where the ghost was. The screen showed simple faces on the screen next to the GPS. The current emoji was a shocked face as the map was pointing and beeping at him.
"That can't be possible, we tested it on other simple ghosts. The upgrade to the Fenton Finder was supposed to show and locate the emotions the ghosts project in order to fool and feed on the humans around them. Even that simple ghost with the boxes was able to show signs of disappointment as he failed to scare his victims." Maddie explained, grabbing the device. With it in hand she fiddled with the settings of the device, swapping it between ghosts till it landed back on the name Phantom. "We had tested this last week; Phantom's emotions reflected his actions time and time again in a hostile environment."
"Well, there's no ghost here, probably still has a few bugs, right?" Sam offered, trying to distract them and keep the focus off Danny. Danny's mind raced with the implications of what was happening. Of course, his parents would find out that ghosts tend to be more emotional than humans and would twist the fact to fit their biased theory that all ghosts were evil. It’s not like ghosts were moody on purpose, when your entire being is based on your mental state emotions tend to play an important part. Not only with obsessions but when interacting with each other, being able to read the emotions of the ghosts you interreacted with was as important as social cues and body language with humans.
Sure, you could go without them and function as fine as anyone else, but they were still a great help with communicating if you were good at understanding them. With this they'd be able to tune into any ghost no matter the distance and translate it into coordinates. Not even the ghost zone would be completely safe as they could probably filter through the other emotions using the ectosignature of a previously known ghost. Danny's breath started to pick up, he could feel himself spiraling as he started to think about what that would mean for him in the hands of the GIW. They would never stop looking for him, they would be able to find him anywhere in the country.
"Look Mads, the ghost kid has to be near the emotion changed again." Jack exclaimed, jumping with excitement.
"I see that Jack and it would make sense with the transition of shock to confusion to panic. Though he's nowhere to be seen, Agent O do you have confirmation that Phantom isn't in the area?" Maddie turned, addressing the agents that had been standing by waiting for orders.
"Affirmative, there are no spectral entities in the viscidity on any energy spectrum. Could it be possible that the spectral entity is hiding among the student body? You said yourself that your device is focused on your son and that it’s a common occurrence. Could the ghost have caught wind of your contract with our organization and tried to find out more by hiding amongst your family?" Agent O suggested, eyeing Danny closely, the color draining from his face.
"That's preposterous, our family has ways of protecting ourselves!" Jack boasted, his voice carrying across the schoolyard. "Besides Danny knows not to trust any stinking ghost scum."
"Jack, honey..." Maddie called, eyes glued to the screen. "The emotion just turned to scared." Danny felt like all eyes were on him, going straight through him to his core. It felt like no one was looking at Fenton anymore, no matter where he looked, they all stared at him like they saw a ghost; like they only saw Phantom. Danny even had to look at himself to make sure he was still human. No gloved hands and red sneakers, he was definitely human still. Danny looked at Tucker and Sam, his best friends, looked at him with matching expressions. They both looked as shocked as he felt; they all knew they couldn't do anything, not with the GIW and student body all around them.
With everyone's attention on him, he could only think of his sister who wasn't even at school. She was shadowing a therapist and had a college interview later that day. She probably wouldn't hear anything till late that night. It's not like they weren't prepared for it, for Danny to have to disappear without a trace or a goodbye. So long as they were unable to control the narrative, Danny would have to disappear. Danny knew they always thought it would be into the ghost zone, he had allies in there. People he knew would keep him hidden if anyone came looking; that Sam and Tucker would be able to sneak in if need be. They could still see him, bring him homework and food. This, however, meant goodbye and he didn't know for how long.
"Danny," his mom smiled at him with worry filled eyes. He searched them for something, anything that showed she wasn't about to drag him home and put the specter deflector on him just to make sure no ghost was using him as a meat puppet. Her arms reached out to him, as the GIW surrounded their table ready for action. "You have nothing to worry about, sweetie. We're just going to head home."
"Yea, Danny. We'll help ya out, run a few tests and make sure you don't have any evil spook haunting you." His dad tagged on, wrapping an arm around his wife's shoulder. Of course they'd want to fix this, to fix the ghost within him. One test would reveal the truth, and everyone would know his secret. Then it would be more tests, biopsies, trying to cure him of his powers. That was if they still loved him after learning the truth. The thoughts surrounding the lab became darker in his mind, nightmares he dared not to tell anyone becoming fresh in his mind.
"I'm sorry, mom. Dad. Goodbye." Danny disappearing from everyone's sight as he turned invisible and flew off towards his house. His parents’ cries fading into the distance, a mix of worry and anger as the ghost boy stole their son. Tears stung his eyes as he flew across the sky, Sam and Tucker would know what to do. They would stall for him, as long as they could. The road raced past him, he went through cars and buildings not bothering to fly high in the sky. The less time he wasted the better. As he floated into his room, he had to take a moment. The reality of it all crashing into him, he felt another wave of stress come over him.
Choking on sobs he fell to his bed, clinging to the sheets. He had to calm down, he didn't have time to cry or pity himself, his parents were probably still tracking him. Which meant the GIW were still following behind, his parents he could one day convince, could one day explain how it all happened. The GIW wouldn't stop though, so long as they were getting paid and had the government's support he would have to run. He ran to his closet wiping away snot as he phased his emergency supplies from the wall. Extra clothes, a burner phone, and couple hundred dollars thanks to Sam's allowance all stowed away in a backpack. An extra belt with a Fenton thermos, ghost rays, and a pair of Fenton phones for any specters along the way. Finally, five letters addressed to Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Valerie, and his parents.
Sam and Tucker didn't know about these, he didn't know if he would ever need them but knowing his friends would drop everything to follow him, he needed to make sure Amity would be safe. Sam and Tucker's letters were a warning to not follow him, to stay and protect Amity at all costs, even revealing him to Valerie to gain her help if necessary. He couldn't trust his parents or the GIW to not torture any ghost that came into their hands. For Jazz, it was a letter to not look for him and to keep an eye on his parents. If anything changed with his parents, she would be the first to know. He needed her to be the fly on the wall, to make sure he still had parents at the end of it all. If there was ever an end to the running, he thought another wave of sorrow hitting him.
He swallowed the hurt and pushed himself to keep grabbing what he needed. Valerie and his parents were the only letters not mentioning his secret. Valerie's was from Phantom explaining he would be gone, and he didn't know for how long. She would probably be thrilled at the thought of Phantom going away, but if she saw anything that had happened today, she might try and follow him too.  He knows she cares about Fenton and would probably want him safe but if anyone could protect Amity while he was gone it was her. If she needed any help handling the ghosts she could call the number provided. It went straight to Sam and Tucker's burner phone. Only one for the two of them in case either of them had to hide it for the other.
 For his parents, it simply stated that he was sorry and that could explain everything if they ever became open to the truth about ghosts. He did not explain what the truth was or how he would know that they were ready. That was for Jazz to tell him with a single message, she held the final burner phone the group of them had. They would be confused, not sure why phantom would kidnap their kid. Their hatred would grow much to his displeasure, but maybe one day they would give up on hate. They would find him and just ask why, and he could finally let them know the whole truth about him.
As Danny left the letter for his parents on the kitchen table he heard the stomping of feet, the whine of ecto-guns and slamming of doors as his father led the charge into the house. He was gone before they even reached his room. Leaving with what letters he had left to deliver and flying away as quickly as he could. He stopped at Tucker's house first, then Sam's, Valerie's and then flew as high as he could into the sky. He looked down at Amity Park, his home, his entire life, and afterlife.
It always looked so peaceful from up above the clouds, he watched the GAV ram its way through the city. It was good to know there was a slight delay on the GPS, the emotions were able to update in real time but could only follow his trail not his exact location. They had moved on from Tucker's neighborhood and onto Sam's. He took one final breath and tried to steel his nerves. If they were searching for him with emotion, then he would just have to have no emotion. He wouldn't be able to think of home, his friends, his family, or he would start to miss them, an emotion.
He couldn't think about how close the GIW were to him, or he'd become anxious, scared or even angry that they had forced him to flee. He had to stay calm and focused on running, to where he had no clue. If he headed west there was a chance of running into Vlad and he didn't need all the emotional baggage that would come with that. So that just left heading to the East coast and hopefully out of the country. He'd have to stop using his powers at some point to make sure he was untraceable.
"Goodbye, Amity. Hello worst road trip ever." he spoke softly flying off into the night.
- -      -
Hello! Author here, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! It’s intended to be sort of a prologue and set up the rest of the story. This is a crossover, but I wanted to get some establishing chapters in focusing on Danny and why he is running. I am still very rusty when it comes to writing so feel free to recommend any fixes and critiques. Let me know if I miss any typos!
The goal is to try and update weekly on Fridays or Sundays, so if I don’t post on Friday that probably means it will go up the following Sunday. Thank you to those coming over from Tumblr, loved the hype for another Dannymay fanfic! I’ll be trying to get more stuff posted there!
Let me know what you think through the comments, even if it’s just a simple one word so I can know you’re enjoying the story! See you next week, byee!
Master post - Chapter 1 Prev. <<< Next >>>

lemon shark —kuroo tetsurō
Tumblr media
—summary: When you admit to quitting your high school club, Kuroo pauses, takes the decision in, and recalibrates his stance. He doesn't understand quitting like that but it's okay, you'll figure it out together. He'll always have your back, just as you'll always have his.
—cw: none
—wc: 1,9k
AO3 version
Tumblr media
He finds you where always does when you’re not home and there are no other pressing responsibilities: the arcade.
“You’re going to develop carpal tunnel like that,” Kuroo says, peering at the backglass of the pinball machine over your shoulder. Half of it is an incomprehensible mess of a ruined city skyline with a tall figure standing at the forefront, a gun in his hand. It’s very pointedly not the backglass of a pinball machine. Or maybe the nigh-incomprehensible art there and on the sides is a feature, not a bug. The score on the display board on the bottom of the backglass keeps ticking up. He can hear the pinball in the machine dashing up and down, bang against the obstacles littered on the map, and the flippers at the bottom.
“No, I’m only moving my fingers.” You don’t look at him, stare at the pinball in the machine, press the buttons on the sides to make the flippers jump. The pinball bangs against one and is sent catapulting back into the playfield.
Kuroo steps around you and stops next to the machine — he knows better than to lean against it. His hands are buried in his denim jacket pockets. The pinball isn’t overly difficult to follow but he still gets thrown for a loop every now and then when it ricochets off one of the bumpers underneath the glass in an unexpected direction.
It’s really no surprise you’re this good at pinball. With the amount of time you spend in this place, he’d expect you to be able to clean out the shelves of cheaply-made toys and weird little useless gadgets with ease. Regular arcades are fun, he’ll admit it, but this one, American in style with its ticket system some hail as a scam (and claw machines with butterfinger claws that are definitely a scam to boot), he doesn’t see the appeal in this specific arcade.
Somehow, you do.
The pinball in the machine drops. The lights on the machine blink rapidly.
“What are you doing here, anyway? Don’t you have practice today?” You pat down your pants’ pockets for the points card and swipe it through the machine.
Kuroo raises his brows. “It’s 7:30.”
“What? No, it’s not.” The argument is immediately on your tongue because it isn’t 7:30 PM. That’s impossible.
He pulls one hand from his jacket pocket, presses the power button on the side of his phone, and turns the screen to face you. 7:36 PM.
“Oh.”
Kuroo glances at his phone screen, then slides the device back into his pocket. “How long have you been here?”
You shrug. “Like… 11.” You look away from him, opt to stare at the painted side panel of the pinball machine. It depicts one long white hot lightning strike with a blue aura. Yeah, there’s absolutely no way this frame was originally for this specific pinball game.
When you look up, he’s narrowed his eyes at you, lips tilted into a frown. It’s that look he gives a particularly difficult English homework task. Analyzing. Solution-oriented. “So, what, you skipped swim practice?” Because he knows how long those run. He knows when and where and how and who. It’s embedded into and around his own club schedule.
“I quit, actually. Yesterday.”
You raise your gaze to meet his, hold it, wait for his reaction.
Kuroo’s face spasms, fleeting expressions cycling so goddamned clearly until he pulls himself together, and puts up a nonchalant facade. His brow twitches and his expression morphs just slightly, finally settling on neutral. It’s almost eerie. He pulls his gaze from you, lets it drop to the pinball machine side panel as if he’s processing or looking for the right words to continue, then looks up at you again.
“Why?”
It’s a measured response. His voice is carefully neutral.
You tilt your head to the side, look over his shoulder at the distance, then tilt it to the other side, stare at the claw machine behind him. Your mind races, thoughts colliding and avoiding collision by near-misses, traveling parallel to each other, splitting at intersections. Possible outcomes on top of outcomes race with them, anything and everything from a prolonged lecture on the importance of perseverance, to disappointed resignation, to quiet acceptance. All of them horrible in their own way.
You settle on a half-truth with a shrug of your shoulders. “Got boring.” You don’t want to see his expression morph into the outcome of his choosing and turn away from him, scan the room for one more victim to acquire enough tickets for the top-shelf prize at the prize counter. “Quit while you’re ahead, or whatever they say.” A victim appears; a lone Street Fighter copycat game tucked right by said prize counter.
Kuroo falls into step with you. “That’s for risky stuff.”
“Like?”
“I don’t know, the stock market.”
“What do you know about the stock market, Romeo?”
You dare a glance at him from the corner of your eye but his expression remains carefully blank. It would be infuriating with anyone else. But Kuroo knows how to read people, how to play to their strengths, what to say and what not to say. You think you can read him well enough; he’s keeping his composure neutral to probe your thoughts and/or feelings on the subject so he's able to give the most effective response. It's almost clinical. The thought leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
He positions himself next to you but he doesn’t take up the player 2 slot on the arcade game. You don’t comment on it and hit play.
Your character dashes, jumps, kicks.
The opponent A.I. dodges, jumps, dies.
The game screen flashes GAME OVER in large blocky letters. You swipe the points card, cross your fingers, and saunter up to the prize counter.
You have an abundance of points, it turns out. The woman behind the desk grabs a hook on a stick and with the help of a step stool, pulls a yellow shark plush down from the high shelf. You point to a small raccoon plushie keychain to drain the rest of your acquired points.
Kuroo stares at the bright yellow shark plushie. Its eyes are embroidered hearts filled in with glittering thread. Its felt teeth are bent. “That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen,” he lies. “It’s a horrifying monstrosity; you could get a better one from IKEA.”
“As per usual you have no taste.” You turn the large plush in your hands and tap the pad of your finger against the glittering eye. No residual glitter catches to your skin. “Well, since you hate this, you wouldn’t happen to want the raccoon, either, huh?”
“Never said that.” He holds his hand out, palm up and you place the small gray and brown raccoon into his waiting hand. He lifts it to eye level, stares back at its large vacant acrylic eyes.
“C’mon,” you jerk your head towards the exit, “you can continue gazing into each other’s eyes soulfully on the way home.”
The summer evening air is slowly cooling as the sun sets. Its orange rays glint off the skyscraper windows.
Rush hour draws to a close and the crowds on the train ease up. You manage to snag two seats near the front of the train as an old couple disembarks.
Your newest companion is sandwiched between your neck and the window, its face pressed flat against the glass. You angle your body slightly so its first dorsal fin is pressed against your throat, your knees pressed against Kuroo’s.
Kuroo spends the ride scrolling through social media. Every now and then he swaps apps, texts someone. You catch Kenma’s picture at the top of the messages. Another time you catch sight of the picture for the volleyball team’s group chat.
It’s hard to lean your head back against the cool window, the best you can do with the shark propped behind your head is turn your face towards Kuroo. It gives you the perfect angle to stare at his profile. He’s slightly slouched, shoulders lax. His posture straightens ever so slightly, jaw tensing, brow creasing. His fingers fly across the screen to type out a response in the group chat with you, him, Yaku, and Kai.
You let your eyes wander his face, the curve of his nose and his lips to —
To the thin scar running along the slope of his cheekbone.
“What?” he asks then, looking up from his phone. He locks and pockets it. You tap on your cheek where his scar is. “Does it bother you?” he asks.
“Sometimes.” Because it does. Sometimes.
“As far as first meetings go, it’s probably on the more interesting end of the scale.”
“You’re the one who yanked me from behind.” Because he did.
“Would you have preferred death by way of a moving vehicle?”
You roll your eyes playfully and look away as you always do when he brings that up. Sure, it’s the logical conclusion to you literally trying to run into oncoming traffic way back then; but that doesn’t mean he needs to say it out loud. He doesn’t. It’s the logical conclusion.
“Yeah, well, what a story to tell your grandkids in 60 years.”
You peel yourselves from the seats once your stop arrives and you tuck the shark under your arm. Kuroo keeps to the road side on the sidewalk. The crowds grow even more scarce as your street comes into view.
You pass Kenma’s house; the blinds aren’t drawn and you can faintly see the glow of the TV from Kenma’s room. The lights in Kuroo’s house are on. Some houses on the street are completely dark, others completely alight. There’s a window cracked open somewhere, broadcasting a football match.
You pause in front of your gate, almost at the end of the street, and make no move to cross the threshold.
“I got half the family sicced on me because they’re not fans of me quitting, y’know? Word travels fast.” You stare at the lit living room window obscured by a cream-colored blind. “Somehow they’d gotten it into their heads that I was going to go to the Olympics and now they’re…”
“Pissed?”
“That’s putting it lightly. Pissed and everything else under the Sun.” You purse your lips. “Probably gonna hear how I wasted my Olympic potential for the rest of eternity. I think they’re delusional for thinking I could ever make it that far.”
There’s a lull in the conversation. Birds swoop down from the sky, land on the power lines draped above your heads.
“You wanna stay over tonight?” Kuroo asks, jerking his head in the direction of his house. “Dad’s making pancakes first thing in the morning.”
You shake your head with a small smile. “Thanks, but I might as well get lecture number three million about how I can ‘still save my Olympic career’ over with. Good night.”
“Night.”
Kuroo lingers by the gate as you step through and take the short cobblestone path up to the house. He watches you pause at the door before you slot your keys in and throw it open. Still, he stands there as the door closes and stares at your bedroom window. It doesn’t take long before there’s movement, the blinds being rolled down and the lights turning on.
Only then does he take off towards his own house, clutching the raccoon keychain in his pocket.

I was going to write this fanfiction about Sam and the golden retriever that he is.
So, it was going to be about a reclusive farmer who Sam slowly tries to open up to the rest of the valley.
I at least started it.
"Dude, want me to let you win?" Sebastian snickered.
Sam sighed. "Whatever. Just take your turn already."
Sebastian chuckled while leaning over with his cue stick.
The Friday saloon was calm as always, something was different this time.
"Damn it! Why did it-" A huff followed those words and as soon as they did, the game corner crowed looked behind them only to see someome rushing off the arcade machine and bursting out of the saloon.
This didn't seem to be noticed by anyone but the trio and Sebastian was the first to speak up.
"Don't know what's her issue, but she messed up my hit."
Abigail chuckled. "Come on, it's salvagable right?"
The pair moved on quickly, but Sam hadn't turned around until his name was called.
"Oh, huh?"
"What are you doing? It's your turn." Resting his stick beside him, Sebastian waited for Sam.
His eyes rolled. "I'm not gonna win anyways, might as well just start a new game."
"Is that your way of giving in?"
"You said your hit got messed up, so let's just start the whole thing over." Sam walked over to the vending machine and glanced over at the arcade machines.
He hadn't meant to, but he saw the game over screen for the Prairie King and saw it was on Level 9.
"Woah."
"Sam, what's taking you so long?"
"Guys, that girl who just left out. Wasn't that the farmer who moved here?"
"I guess so. Who cares though?"
"Me, kind of. She was playing Prairie King and got all the way to level 9!"
"Impressive, but it's probably because she doesn't talk to anyone." Abigail stated.
"Well maybe we should talk to her."
"If you want to, then go ahead. She's might scared of people or something though because anytime we see each other near the mines, she keeps her head down and rushes off past me."
"Maybe she's busy?"
Abigail scoffed. "I thought it was only me. She doesn't even talk in the store. She just brings her stuff to the counter and gives my dad the money before dashing out."
"I guess farm work is hard. Look, guys, I've never spoken to her and she seems pretty cool. I think we should invite her to join us one night."
"Good luck with that then." Abigail scoffed.
"Seriously, I think you're gonna need it."
Sam, without even so much as a frown on his face, happily thanked the pair before they resumed their night together.

Hiii if your requests are open also sorry if they arent you can just completely ignore this message cause u dont have a pinned yet
But can i request platonic friendship headcanons with bachira and isagi?
Thank you in advance
Tumblr media
─ BACHIRA ⸜ ISAGI ꒰ა ໒꒱ AEAO
HI BAE !! yes yes and sorry i don't have enough time to make my pinned post but ill for sure make one! also this request was so cute ^^ i couldn't help but think about dynamicduo when i hear them together >< anyways enjoy! . *. ⋆ warnings; nothing really, cute moments with their silly little shenanigans, intentional lower capitals ✧. word count: 475, 366
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you almost felt your eardrums burst from meguru's high-pitched scream he let out in your left ear. this car ride was hell, even if there were places worse than hell, it would be crushed in the backseat with isagi and bachira. you could feel your legs cramping from the lack of space isagi's manspreading on the right side. you were inevitably squashed in between them. it didn't help when you were sitting on the hard material of the seatbelt right on your ass.
meguru and isagi's moms offered to drive you three to the arcade because the mall they were going to was awfully close to it. ''gosh.. seeing meguru go out with his friends like this.. makes my heart soft.'' yu's eyes almost water as her hands trembled on the steering wheel. ''mom, don't cry please.'' meguru told his mom, almost feeling embarrassed as his figure only sank further in the seat. you knew bachira was a talented individual and you didn't quite understand what his mom had just said.
isagi looked like he knew this feeling all too well. ''there's nothing to be embarrassed about, meguru.'' isagi's mom butt in as she turned her head to look at the three of you fighting over even just a space to breathe easily in. ''i remember isagi also never been the social butterfly like his dad was. the friends he only ever took home were the soccer team.'' i let out a small laugh as i saw the neon-lit arcade from the road. ''here should be fine, thank you so much for- meguru!'' meguru had already opened the door and dashed inside the arcade.
isagi waited for you to finish your farewells and bid his mom a quick ''goodbye, mom'' too. bachira's mom rolled down the window to give us three a small wave and drove away. meguru looked like a ticking time bomb while looking at what was inside of the arcade. people were scattered everywhere and no space wasn't filled with rainbow blinding lights that only enticed bachira further.
your almost popped out of their sockets once they landed on the bright rainbow glowing sign on top of the building. you weren't the type to go around and hang out at places and waste away the time you could use to be more productive. but since meguru and isagi kindly invited you to hang out together outside bluelock. ''c'mon, y/n! it'll be fun, promise.'' bachira grabs you by your hand and drags you inside of the building to go explore. isagi follows behind and gives you a small smile of reassurance.
''yeah, it would be more worth it to spend all your time outside of bluelock having fun, right?'' you three spot a basketball game and a bumper car area. safe to say, you three almost got kicked out 6 times already.
Tumblr media
ㄔ    ִ  alright now onto the headcanons c:
ㄔ    ִ  bachira definitely accidentally threw a basketball at a kid once.
ㄔ    ִ  isagi helped meguru climb the machine to keep shooting the ball inside the ring to get like 1000 tickets or something 💀💀
ㄔ    ִ  isagi knows every single hack to win every prize you wanted in claw games.
ㄔ    ִ  bachira fought a kid to get to play in one of the games; ''you've been in this seat for so long, kid!'' bachira whined while watching the kid stick out his tongue to him, but he bit back by sticking out his tongue back.
ㄔ    ִ  isagi is a boss at those coin pusher machines and always manages to waste every one of your coins but ends up making the whole tower fall
ㄔ    ִ  a worker at the arcane had to hold bachira back and when i tell you they had to HOLDDD him back, i say HOLDDDDD him back.
ㄔ    ִ  like it took them 3 workers to hold him back from knocking a kid out for ruining his win streak or something.
ㄔ    ִ  you and isagi for sure always team up for those zombie gun shooting games.
ㄔ    ִ  bachira would absolutely destroy those DDR machines. (the arrow dance machine where you step on them) like you and isagi had to pry him away from the machine to go check out other games cuz he's been there for like 43 minutes.
ㄔ    ִ  like i can just imagine bachira dancing to one of those hyper-pop songs on the ddr machine.
ㄔ    ִ  you and meguru literally almost broke the wack-a-mole machine cause meguru pulled a mole out of the hole.
ㄔ    ִ  isagi is the type of kid to eat all of the cotton candy.
ㄔ    ִ  bachira definitely climbed on isagi's back while he was rollerskating. the kids were giving them the stink eye while you were literally struggling to stand on your two left feet.
ㄔ    ִ  at the end of the day, you three got kicked out for wreaking havoc in the arcade.
ㄔ    ִ  (you three got banned from it for the rest of your life.)

sam's awesome 'are nxx boys good at DDR?' hc post reminded me of this niche hc ive got that i wanted to share
luke pearce is banned from several arcades in stellis
it's not cuz he causes a ruckus or anything, hes actually a really great presence at arcades!! when he finds himself at one, luke will often help kids who are trying to hoard prize tickets at shooting games or dart games or at the basketball arcade machine.
plus---much like in SSR Lukewarm Fragrance where luke's sheer Presence at that coffee shop caused droves of customers to come over just to see him being PRETTY (and drink his coffee)---having luke pearce in one's establishment is a great way to get more people to come in as well.
i mean...imagine....dashing charming luke pearce with a carefree grin helping a bunch of kids shoot hoops at the basketball machine, a charming aura all around him especially once the game is over and the machine spits out a criminal amount of tickets for the kids and they thank him and he tells them to get themselves the biggest prize there is while shyly running his hand through his hair and---i digress
luke pearce embodies the joyous delight an arcade wants to bring and often brings the skill that impresses more people to come over and hes Nice To Look At. so whys he banned?
cuz he keeps breaking game machines accidentally
all game machines that dont involve the player having to exert direct physical force is safe from this kind of untimely demise (and if you listen closely, you can hear the crane game machine inexplicably breathe a sigh of relief), but for the machines that DO need that? well....
here is a non-exhaustive list of arcade game machines luke has accidentally damaged because sometimes hes having such a great time that he forgets to hold back on his not-normal amount of strength:
boxing machine (punched too hard, the punching bag flew off)
hammer strength machine (hit too hard, the sensor broke)
DDR machine (have you seen how strong his kick was in SSR Dark Swirl??? his leg strength is off the charts, and DDR machines face the brunt of that in cracked and banged up tiles)
air hockey (hit the puck too hard that when it went in the goal, it didnt fall down into the compartment, it just cracked the table's wall)
and more
luke, of course, is very apologetic every time this happens and pays to replace and repair any damages (he can even repair it himself!! hes nifty like that!!!) but at some arcade branches, the staff simply felt bad for their poor machines and had to put up a sign

Promptober day 28 - sneaking out to trick or treat
Pairing - none just Monty and a kid trick or treating.
Warnings - kid getting lost, police.
Promptober ‘23 masterlist
Main masterlist
Taglist
A/N - reader is about 12 year old in this
Tumblr media
“Mom, do I have to sit here? Can I go to the arcade?” I groan as I prop both my elbows up on the table my mother and I were sitting at. It was Halloween and the last place I wanted to be was in the daycare at the mega pizzaplex. my younger sister was down in the daycare playing while my mother and I sat up in the party rooms. It was one of my sister’s friend’s birthday parties and I was just dragged here. No 12-year-old would even dare to be seen in the pizzaplex, let alone the daycare. All the older kids stayed glued to the arcade machines.
“Sure, sure go,” she mutters with an eye roll. I grinned before I hopped up out of my seat and sprinted out of the room and out of the daycare area. right as I’m turning out of the daycare, I’m met with a huge chunk of metal colliding right into my body.
“Oof!” I yelp as I fall to the ground. I blink a few times, total confusion overtaking my brain before I look up to see what the green-colored metal was that I had run into. That’s when I see the large green gator animatronic towering over me. “God kid, slow down,” Monty hisses as he scowls down at him. “I’m-I’m sorry Monty,” I whisper as I push myself up off of the ground and dust myself off. “where’s your mother?” he asks as he scans the crowd of people around me, maybe looking for a concerned man or woman looking for me. “she’s in the party room. She said I could go to the arcade,” I say as I shove my hands into my jacket pockets. “Hm shouldn’t be roamin’ around by yourself...what’s your name?”
“y/n”
“Alright go on and slow down don’t need anyone getting, hurt,” he grumbles before walking past me.
-
After spending about 30 minutes playing the games in the arcade, I decided it was probably best to start making my way back to the daycare. I let out a little sigh as I turned the corner towards the party room. I count down the numbers on each party room until I'm standing in front of the now-empty room 4. Did they leave me? There were still remnants of cake and wrapping paper in the room. Perhaps they went down to pick the kids up from the daycare, so I flew over to look down in. I scan every adult and child that is visible, but none of them are my mom or sister. I spun around, checking if they were somewhere around in the lobby of the daycare. Still, none of them were my mom. Fear overcame my body as my hands began to shake.
My breathing gets heavy as anxiety blooms in my chest and tears spring from my eyes. Maybe she went to get me from the arcade? That has to be it, so I begin to dash back towards the arcade. But somehow my luck I awful because I slam right into a hard green hunk of metal again. "didn't I tell you to stop-" I back up and look up at Monty as his head cocks to the side a bit. "what's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?" he asks. Maybe he noticed how glossy my eyes were, or that fact that my chest was rising and falling so fast that it was concerning. I shake my head. "I can't- can't find my mom," I murmur as my voice cracks. "Oh, let's find her. Then where did you see her last?" he asks.
"In the party room but I already looked there," he nods as he searches around, looking for a childless parent. "I already looked around here. She's not here," I cry out, tears beginning to run down my cheeks. He huffs as his robotic face contorts into a confused expression. "Okay, let's get you to lost and found. " I nod as I wipe my wet cheeks "Okay" as I take his cold metal hand into mine.
we walked down towards the lost and found, Monty pointed out adults that had no children with them asking "Is that one your mom?" each time but every one of them wasn't.
He pushes open a wooden door with a little window that looks into the room. There's a woman in a night guard uniform sitting in front of a computer. She had brown hair curly hair and a darker complexion. As we walked in, she glanced up, her brows furrowing together. "Lost?" Monty nods, "alright leave her here I'll take care of it." she states as she turns back towards her computer. Monty attempts to let go of my hand, but I tighten my grip. I didn't know who this woman was, and I didn't want to be left alone with her. "Can you stay? " I whisper as I look up at the animatronic that is at least 5 times my size. He looks over at the woman seated in a swivel chair as if he's asking, "Can I?" she nods as she waves it off. "Alright sweetheart, what's your name?" she questions as she turns in the chair so she's facing Monty and me.
"y/n…y/n l/n." she nods as she shifts back towards the computer. "Alright, y/n my name is Zara." She begins to type each key, making a click-clack sound against her fingertips. "Now, what's your mom's name?"
"Laura," I whisper as I tetter back and forth on my feet anxiously. "Same last name?" she asks. I nod "All right I'm going to call over the overhead for her to come here and get you," she explains "You can go and sit over there" She points to a small couch-like thing placed against the back wall. I pull Monty over towards it and we both sit down. My leg bounces up and down anxiously as Zara calls my mother's name over the loudspeaker.
We sit there for what feels like hours, and my mother never comes. Maybe she had left me. Zara could tell I was scared because she cut through the silence and asked, "What are you going to be for Halloween?" "Chica" I whisper with a smile, "oh is Chica your favorite?" her brows furrowing in a knot "Mhm" I hum with a nod. "Well Chicas, my favorite too," she says, which makes Monty let out a little jealous huff. "Nothing against you Monty" she laughs.
She looks down at her watch before sighing "Alright if your mom doesn't come by 6, we're going to have to call the cops" she says, trying to make her voice as soft sounding as possible, but it still terrifies me. I don't want anything bad to happen to my mom or my family, but what if I got in trouble for running off? Would the police do something to me? My bottom lip wobbles as tears pool in my eyes. "You're going to be alright you won't get in any trouble."
"Can I take her down to my green room? can call for her if they come for her?"
-
I sat on the green couch that was in Monty's green room as he sat at his vanity. My legs dangle off the couch as I take in every part of his room. It was messy but still cool-looking. He had a little arcade machine placed in the corner and bunches of merchandise littered around on tables and the ground. While a few were of him and the band, the majority were solely of him. "I wanted to go trick or treating," I complain, sinking into the couch cushions. Monty hums as he nods. My eyes widen as I sit up. "would you take me?!" He turns to look at me, metal brows furrowing together. "Kid, I can't leave this place."
"I could sneak you out pleaseeee Monty, we'd have so much fun!" I say as I stick my bottom lip out and put on my best puppy dog eyes. He sighs as his eyes move from left to right. "Fine, c'mon, but we've gotta be quiet." I grin as I hop up. "Let go, let's go," I say as I stick my hand out for him to grab.
We sneak through the empty corridors of the pizzaplex, dodging security bots and the cleaning bots as we walk towards a smaller, less obvious exit of the pizzeria meant for employees. Monty grabs a pair of car keys that belong to the pizza delivery cars. "Can you drive?" I ask as I look up at the animatronic. "Sure, I could figure it out."
-
"Woah, slow down!" I cry out, gripping the car door as the car weaves in and out of lanes. We finally come to a stop. We're in a small neighborhood just a few miles from the pizzaplex. There are already kids dressed up in elaborate costumes with their parents walking around. "let's go," I giggle as I hop out of the car and run over to the sidewalk.
Walking down the sidewalk, I hold Monty's cold metal hand while keeping our eyes out for houses with their porch lights on. I've got a small plastic grocery bag in my hand that we found in the back of the car in my hands. It's filled with a few pieces of candy at the moment. A small red brick house with an older lady sitting in a rocking chair on the porch catches my eye. I pull Monty into her yard before walking down the small path that led to her front door.
"Trick or treat," I giggle, grinning as I hold the bag out for the lady to drop candy in. "wow, that is an elaborate costume," she says as she looks up at Monty. He sticks out like a sore thumb; he's about 6 feet tall, and his feet make a metal clanking sound with every step he takes. "y-yeah," he says with a cough. "Where is your mother, sweetheart? " My eyes widen as I go through every story. I could tell this woman. I don't have a mom; she's at home, at work, taking my little sister trick or treating. "Sh-i-she's at home," I say, hoping and praying she believed me. She nods. "Alright, be careful now," she sighs as she drops a few pieces in my bag. Thank God she believed me.
-
About 30 minutes later, our trick-or-treating is interrupted by the loud sound of police sirens. I hoped they were for someone else and not me. I did hope that the old lady didn't call the police. But when I saw the gigantic fazbear entertainment truck following after them, I knew it was for us. The cars come to a screeching stop in front of us, and out of one police car comes my mother. "Momma!" I cry out as I release Monty's hand and run to her.
I collapse into her arms. Her arms tighten around me as she lets out a sob. "I'm so sorry," she whispers atop my head. As our hug loosens, I see a few fazbear workers trying to get Monty in the back of their truck. "Wait!" I cry out as I wriggle out of my mother's grip. I run back over and hug him, wrapping my arms around his torso. My head only reaches his stomach, so I must look up to talk to him.
"Thank you," I whisper. "I promise I'll come and see you again, Monty."

“Finally.” You sighed and watched the cloud from your breath be swept away in the chilling wind. “I’m here.”
Your boots sunk into the snow as you slowly trekked through the AMC’s parking lot. You stepped through the doorway of the movie theater, your frosty skin was immediately met with a sea of warmth. Reaching into your jacket pocket, you pulled out your phone and checked the time. ‘9:25, shit,’ you thought to yourself. ‘Five minutes won’t be enough time.’ You walked up to the counter in the middle of the lobby as you slid your phone back into your pocket.
The employee working at the counter seemed to be the only other person in the theater.
‘I guess going to the movie’s once the movie has already started does have its advantages.’
“Good evening,” the woman said, interrupting your train of thought. “How may I help you?”
“Good evening,” you responded. “I’d like a ticket to ‘The Black Phone’ please.” 
The employee grabbed the ticket from under the counter and shuffled a few steps right to the register. She waved you over and said, “That’ll be $13.69, anything else I can get you?”
“No, ma’am. Thank you.” you answered as you took $15 out of your wallet, careful not to drop anything, and handed it to the employee.
“Enjoy your movie!” The employee kindly smiled at you as she handed you your change.
“Thank you! Have a good day!” You smiled back before you walked a few steps away and took your phone out again.
’9:27.’ the lock screen read.
‘Only three minutes, I don’t think I’m going to make the commercials,’ you thought before deciding it would be alright to miss them— after all, how could you watch the movie without getting a duck?! With that in mind, you dashed over to the arcade section of the lobby, straight to your favorite machine.
The rubber duck claw machine was your favorite game because you were always guaranteed to win. Everyone was actually— it’s impossible to lose the game. All you have to do is put in one dollar and, just like a claw machine, you maneuver the device to win your prize. The game had no timer, and won’t stop until you’ve won! All the prizes in the machine were different rubber animals; although, they were mostly rubber ducks in costumes. Since discovering the machine, you’ve made it a habit to get a rubber animal to accompany you to watch the movies.
You squatted down and fed the machine a dollar. As you stood back up the door chimed. A gust of cold wind hit your skin and sent a shiver through your spine. You glanced in that direction and saw two men walk through the door. One was slightly taller with dark brown hair. His face was flushed from the cold and he was blowing into his hands, presumably to warm himself. The other man’s hair was a lighter brown with a hardly noticeable red tint to it. As if he could sense your gaze on him, the shorter one turned his head and met your eyes. He looked you up and down before his friend stole his attention at the counter.
You remembered what you were meant to be doing and refocused on the machine in front of you.
‘Wouldn’t want to miss too much of the movie, better hurry this up,’ you thought as you moved the machine’s arm.
You decided you wanted the rubber duck that looked like a green T. rex and let the claw drop to pick it up.
“Wooo!!” You cheered as the machine picked up the weirdly positioned dinosaur on your first try.
“Clang!” The dinosaur was dropped into the plastic area of the machine. “Clang!”
‘That’s weird… Sounded like it fell twice..?’ you silently questioned.
You opened the compartment and reached your hand in. Sure enough you felt two rubber ducks. Pulling them out, you noticed that the machine had given you two of the same dinosaur ducks. You stared at the second duck in your hand in confusion.
‘It must have been picked up with my dinosaur and I just didn’t notice,’ you deduce. ‘But what should I do with it? I can’t watch the movie with TWO rubber ducks, that’s not right.’
You looked around the lobby and saw the two men, now at the counter paying for their popcorn and tickets. An idea popped into your head and you walked over to them.
“Hi, I’m sorry to interrupt you,” you started. “Long story short, that claw machine over there just gave me two ducks instead of one, so I came over here to give one to you. Paying the luck forwards you know? Anyways, have a good movie!” 
You handed the shorter man the duck and started walking towards your movie theatre.
“Wait!” He lightly grabbed your arm to stop you. Succeeding in his attempt, you turned back around and tilted your head at him, confused.
“Hmm?” you hummed.
“You didn’t give me the chance to say thank you,” he chuckled softly. “My name is Sapnap, this is my friend George.”
“Nice to meet you! I’m Y/N.”
‘He smells good,’ you thought to yourself. ‘What is that smell though? I definitely recognize it.’
“Nice to meet you too, and thanks… for the dinosaur.” Sapnap smiled, looking down at it then back to you.
“No problem! But I’ve got to go, the movie is going to start any second now if it hasn’t already!” you said as you quickly left to go to theater five.
~~
“Are you going to have that stupid smile on your face for the rest of the day?” George asked Sapnap.
“What are you talking about?” Sapnap tried to push down the smile on his face, only for it to peak back through.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about.” George scoffed. “You like them.”
“Quit it, I don’t like them,” Sapnap lied and started walking toward their theater, already late for the movie.
“You’ve talked to them once and now you’re in love!” George shook his head at his friend.
Sapnap rolled his eyes at George. “You’re so stupid. I’ve never been in love… Not seriously— at least”
The two walked on in a comfortable silence until they reached the door of their theater. They walked in and got a few isles down before Sapnap threw out his arm and stopped both of them in their tracks.
“What?” George questioned.
“Is that them over there?” Sapnap pointed at a person sitting in the front row.
“You’re not going to be doing this the whole movie are you?” George crossed his arms over his chest.
“I think it’s them!” Sapnap whispered, walking in their direction.
“Come watch a movie in the theater with me you said, it’ll be fun you said.” George mocked his friend, following a few steps behind him.

Xbox 360 XBLA titles without Xbox One /Series X Support, still available to buy!
Following our latest video on the Xbox 360 store shutdown, here is the full list of Xbox Live Arcade games still up to buy on the Xbox 360. If you haven't seen the video you can watch it below.
youtube
With the Xbox 360 store closing on the 29th of July, this list baring the odd error shows all the XBLA games in the United Kingdom Xbox 360 Marketplace Shop. That don't work on Xbox One or Series X and will be lost for good at the end of the month. Some have Xbox One releases, but many are Xbox 360 exclusive. Now the final price drop event on 360 is due to happen on the 16/17th of July.
It seems unlikely any DLC will get reduced so the expensive Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends DLC you will just have to pay through the nose for! If we get time we will try to cover on Demand Games and DLCs next week.
Note at present we are still notes games not all games with extra download content on XBLA are listed correctly yet same with Xbox One versions of some games. As we discussed in our previous videos using the website to buy content is next to impossible and we are buy content via the Xbox 360 in console store.
Warning as per our previous video about the problems we had with the Rabbids Invasions Season Pass. We advice users avoid season passes on the service most are broken.
Any mistakes or omissions please do let us know. Drop us an email, comment or send us a tweet. Also let us know about any Japanese, North America or other games not available in the UK on XBLA and still up and we will add them.

A used teabag sat lumped at the end of a spoon tipped aside a saucer, the deep jet liquid in its cup had gone cold some minutes prior. The booth at the back, the one Áed frequented for that space in time between solitude and company; abandoned in the moment as the digital chirp of a vintage arcade game bounced into the air two steps away. A massacre of brilliant red locks cloaked the slim creature’s back and tumbled forward over their shoulders as Áed leaned in toward the screen with one hand manipulating the joystick while the other propped against the top of the machine for a relaxed balance. The fine silver chain clasped between glints of teeth and framed in pale rose lips was comparative in coolness to Áed’s metallic grey eyes that dashed about seeking the lights flashing across the machine. Black ripped jeans, worn out sneakers, a deep blue and orange plaid button up flung open lazily over a grey hoodie; none of this was appropriate for the heat but the sign had declared ‘no shirt, no shoes, no service’ so the vampiric critter did whatever best opposed their own nudity for the time and place.
How it could smell like burnt hash-browns in that diner so deep into the night was beyond Áed. Local didn’t do that twenty-four hour breakfast business, but here the redhead was reconsidering a taste of the human cuisine that didn’t still have a pulse. They passed it from their mind and gnawed a little harder at the chain in their teeth. Noc was supposed to meet them here after something… Work? Was that tonight? Did it have a schedule? Those stormy eyes snapped back to the game only to squeeze shut in defeat as the spiraling chime of game over blasted from the speakers. Distracted, always distracted. Wasn’t that their problem in life? Not that it mastered much after death. Áed sighed and dropped their forehead to rest at the top rim of the machine, considering the possibility for another round before the bird brain showed up.

"my love is your arm stuck in the claw machine. you were going to steal that prize for me?? oh my gosh. let me rescue you and also show you how to actually do this" for Flynn/anyone please and thank you
"Meet up in an hour?" Flynn asks as she stands on her tip-toes to offer Reggie a kiss.
"I'll be in the arcade while you and Julie get your shop on," he replied, saluting Julie from where she was standing a few feet away. She rolled her eyes good naturedly, but he knew she appreciated him driving them to the mall today.
"Don't waste all your money on Whack-a-Mole," Flynn said, dashing off towards where Julie was waiting, the two of them linking arms as they went.
On a normal day, Reggie would have been fine going with them, to carry bags or give opinions on their options, he never minded doing it, after all he had done it for years with MeeMaw, why would his friends be any different? But this was Prom Dress shopping, and Flynn told him she wanted hers to be a surprise. So all he had to do was get a matching pocket square and he was good.
Thus whiling his afternoon away in the Starcourt Arcade, earning a few tokens to put towards prizes. He chose two Sailor Moon themed rings, knowing that Julie and Flynn would love them, and he got a cool Star Wars keychain for himself.
He was about to go wait outside, but then his eye caught on the claw machine. More specifically on the adorable little stuffed capybara toy that was sitting there. Flynn loved capybaras, and Reggie made a point of buying one for her whenever he got the chance. He still had a few dollars left, so why not try to win it?
The only problem was that Reggie sucked at the claw machine.
Every time the claw went wildly off field, or just missed the toy, and one time it actually grasped the toy only to have it slip through at the last second. And then he was out of quarters.
Reggie growled, glaring at the machine. The capybara was right there, and he couldn't get it! He didn't have any more change on him and he knew if he went to go get more, that was when someone would swoop in and snatch it up.
This was when he decided to do something admittedly stupid.
He glanced around, and seeing no one around, sunk down and stuck his arm up into the machine, snaking it upwards in hopes of grasping the toy.
"Reggie?"
He turned, ready with an explanation to see Flynn and Julie standing there. Looking a little judgy and suppressing giggles. "I'll go get a manager," Julie said. "After I win a few games of basketball."
"Hey pumpkin," Flynn said, crouching in front of Reggie. "Whatcha doin'?"
"I can explain?" he offered lamely.
"My love is your arm stuck in the claw machine?" Reggie nodded and Flynn giggled once more, noticing the little stuffed animal just out of his grasp. "You were going to steal that prize for me weren't you? Oh my gosh. Let me rescue you and also show you how to actually do this."
With that, Flynn yanked his arm out, Reggie landing on his butt with a little oof. "My hero," he said, staring up at Flynn who grinned wide. She then pulled out a quarter from her purse, flipped it into the air, and put it into the machine, deftly manoeuvering the sticks to direst the claw and snatched up the capybara toy on her first try.
"Now which one do you want?" she asked.
"The dog in the cowboy hat," Reggie whispered.
Flynn snorted. "Should have known." She won that toy just as quickly. "Okay, let's go show Jules up at the hoops and see if we can win me a Sailor Moon ring."
"Actually..." Reggie said, pulling the ring out, slipping it onto her hand. "I gotcha covered. One for Jules too."
"You're too sweet," Flynn said, leaning up to kiss him. "But I still want the whole set, so let's go."
"Yes ma'am," Reggie replied with a chuckle, letting Flynn pull him towards the baskets, his new friend tucked in his other hand.

The opening starts with the SMG4 Logo and Mario saying: "That's A So nice!" The episode starts with Mario shopping at the store, with his something to buy list for Him and Luigi. "Oh boy, more pasta for-a-me and luigi!" Mario said as he goes down the pasta section. He collected so many pasta ingredients because he really loves pasta! "Ok, that's the pasta down!" Mario said as he crosses down the pasta on the shopping list. Mario was thinking that he could get a game for game night. "Hmmm, Maybe I could have a game for Me and Luigi to play with! Oh ho, great idea there mario!" Mario said as he dashes to the gaming section of the store. When he was there, he was trying to find something that Him and Luigi would like. "Hmmmm, there should be a game with multiplayer on it." Mario said. But then, something has caught mario's eye, it was an Arcade Machine, containing 9999+ games from all consoles, netflix, twitch, youtube and more! It even has four players with controller support. Mario eyes started to glitter like a diamond. He also has a thought bubble with Him, Luigi, SMG4 and SMG3 Playing on the big arcade machine. "This is the perfect machine for the castle! But how much is it?" Mario said as he looks at the price of the arcade machine. The price was 5,000 dollars, And this made Mario very shocked about it. "What?! 5,000 Dollars?! I can't even afford that! Seems I need to make some money!" Mario said. Mario started to think about what he could make tons of coins. He looks at the pasta that he is going to buy, and also looks at the cafe. "Hmmm, Pasta and cafe..." Mario thinks. This gives him a idea, he could have his own spaghetti cafe! "I got it!, I could open my spaghetti cafe, so I could be able to make coins and buy this arcade machine, but I need someone to help me, Like Meggy, or SMG4, even SMG3! I'm gonna ask them now!" Mario said as he quickly buys his pasta ingredients and rushes to see SMG3 First. He went inside SMG3's place, and asked him to help him with his spaghetti factory. "Hey SMG3, Would you like to help me set up my own Spaghetti Cafe?" Mario asked. "Not right now Mario, I'm busy playing a new Zelda game called Tears Of The Kingdom, and I'm also streaming, so you can't be in it." SMG3 Said. "Ok, I'm trying Meggy next." Mario said as he went to Meggy's place. Mario knocks on Meggy's door, and Meggy opens the door to see Mario. "Oh hey there Mario, How can I help?" Meggy said. "Well, I was going to get an arcade machine for the castle, but it seems so expensive, and I need your help to work with me at my very own spaghetti cafe!" Mario said. "Oh, you're getting an arcade machine?! That's great! Well, I really would love to help, but I'm in a middle of doing my jigsaw puzzle, so I suggest that you would ask someone else." Meggy said as she closes the door. This made Mario started to feel a bit mad. "Well, I Need to ask more, or else I will not have fun!" Mario said as he tries to ask more people. He tried Fishy Boopkins, Bob, Tari, Saiko, Swagmaster and even Melody, but all of them are declining his help. "Well, I guess SMG4 is my last Hope." Mario said as he goes to see SMG4 at the castle. At the castle, SMG4 was working on his video that he is making. "Well, this video is gonna be perfect in to time!" SMG4 Said as he is making his video. Mario came to see SMG4, and he was begging to help him. "Hey SMG4, I need your help, because I need you to help me work in my new Spaghetti cafe to get that big arcade machine for the castle for us to play on!" Mario said. "Um, sorry mario, I'm working on my video, and I'm also saving money on the castle, an also my studio as well." SMG4 Said. "But, I want that arcade machine!" Mario said. "Wait, how much does that arcade machine cost?" SMG4 asked. "Well, it's about 5,000 dollars." Mario said. SMG4 was very shocked about it. "5,000 dollars?! I can't afford that, and you need to help yourself to that spaghetti cafe as well!" SMG4 said. Mario was very upset about it. "Please! I want you to help me!" Mario said as he is begging even more. "Ok fine, I will help you in your new spaghetti cafe, but we need to make sure that food is good, or else we don't get any money from the customers." SMG4 Said. This made Mario very pleased about it. "Oh thank you very much! Now let's get that money!" Mario said as they open their spaghetti cafe. SMG4 is now making the grand opening of the spaghetti cafe. "Uh, Hey, everyone, welcome to our new spaghetti cafe, here you can try out some spaghetti such as our spicy spaghetti, classic spaghetti and many more to choose! We also serve some garlic bread for free if you spend more! So what are you waiting for? Come on into the spaghetti factory! (Hope they will like the spaghetti we made)" SMG4 Said as he opens the doors to the spaghetti cafe. Everyone went in and they orders a spaghetti for them. They try to taste the spaghetti, but they don't seem to like it. The customers are getting mad, and Mario was shocked that he is going to lose his cafe! "Oh no, I need to tell SMG4 right away!" Mario said as he is ran to see SMG4, But for some reason, SMG4 was working on his laptop, and this made Mario very angry. "Hey, there is no time to work on your laptop, our customers are very mad about our food!" Mario said. But SMG4 Was still working on his laptop. Mario decided to take the laptop away from SMG4. "Hey, I was working on my video!" SMG4 said. "There is no time, the customers are getting angry at our meal!" Mario said as he points to the counter. SMG4 decided to take a look, But he doesn't see any customers. "That's odd, they just vanished. Wait, they don't like our spaghetti that we made! This is all your own fault Mario!" SMG4 said. Mario and SMG4 started to argue, until Liam The Marowak came into the spaghetti cafe. "Oh, hey, welcome to our spaghetti cafe! How can we help?" SMG4 Said. "Hey, I just heard about your spaghetti cafe, hope it will be awesome!" Liam said. "Yes, so you must be the first customer to be in our spaghetti cafe!" Mario said. "I am? Oh that's neat! So, can I have the spicy spaghetti please? Because I ran out of my fire power, and I need to recharge it." Liam said. "Ok, One spicy spaghetti coming right up!" SMG4 said as SMG4 and Mario make the spicy spaghetti for Liam. Mario gave the spicy spaghetti to Liam, and Liam decided to eat it. "That spaghetti, its..." Liam said. "It's what? Tastes bad?" SMG4 asked. "It's tastes awesome! You well do make some best spaghetti of the spaghetti cafe! Hey, I could use to have more to take home for me to save some cooking for Jack!" Liam said. "Oh, you like some to takeaway with you? We could do that for you!" SMG4 said as they put some of the classic spaghetti into the bowl and cover it up. "Here you go, all of the spaghetti that you can take to home!" Mario said. "Thank you very much, here, keep the change!" Liam said as he pays for his spaghetti and leaves with his spaghetti. "That is some great work there Mario, now we need to wait for another customer to come in!" SMG4 said as they wait for another customer to come in. Then, Luigi appeared to come into the spaghetti cafe, and he is not happy about Mario. "Mario, you supposed to do your shopping for me, and why did you open your spaghetti cafe for no reason?" Luigi said. "Well, I can explain." Mario said. "Wait, you didn't tell me that you are doing a shopping trip for your brother Mario!" SMG4 Said. "Oh come on, I was getting something special for us!" Mario said. Mario and SMG4 Decided to battle, until the spaghetti cafe was collapsed. They looked at the collapsed spaghetti factory, and Mario was so sad about it. "My Spaghetti Cafe, it's gone... there is no way that I could get that arcade machine..." Mario said sadly. "Mario, that is the reason why you and SMG4 decided to make a spaghetti cafe? is to get that arcade machine for that castle?" Luigi said. "Well, yes but we tried our best to get coins, and we have one successful customer that like our food." SMG4 Said. Then, Luigi had an idea. He decided to whisper into SMG4's ear, and SMG4 listened on what he is going to do. The Next day at the Castle, Mario was thinking about his Spaghetti cafe. "Oh, I really miss you my spaghetti cafe." Mario said. Then, SMG4, Luigi and SMG3 Came to see Mario, and they have a box that looks like an arcade machine that they could fit in. "Hey Mario, seems we brought an arcade machine for the castle." SMG4 said. "Yes, it much bigger and better!" Luigi said. "Trust me, you are going to love it!" SMG3 said. Mario was very excited about it! "Oh thank you very much! We really did a great Job SMG4! Time to open the box!" Mario said as he decided to open the box. "Inside, it was a small Nintendo 64 with four wired controllers. "Huh, a Nintendo 64?" Mario asked. "Yeah, we have to get it for you because it's much cheaper than the arcade machine, it's all thanks to that Marowak." SMG4 Said. "Plus, it has all 388 games from different countries such as The US, Europe and even Japan!" SMG3 said. "Perfect for the castle!" Luigi said. Mario felt very happy about the new Nintendo 64. "Thanks, now let's set it all up and play!" Mario said as they Set up the Nintendo 64 and played it. In the distance, Liam happily sees them. "hope you will complete the castle in no time SMG4." Liam said as uses his speed element to go back home. The end title pops up and plays the remix of birabuto kingdom from super mario land aka The theme of SMG4.
