#I dated a boy from Shanghai a few years ago and he did not enjoy root beer but he was okay with root beer floats

[dumbledavisjr]

5 drinks to get to know me?

Tagged by @ravenclawfromdistrictfour haha thanks ☺️

1. Root beer because I’m ✨American✨ and I want to make all of my international friends try it

2. Lemonade. My recipe is 1 cup sugar 1 cup lemon juice and the rest water until you get 2 quarts

3. My go to boba order is taro milk tea

4. Sprite or any of its equivalents because that’s like the only non-caffeinated drink you can find sometimes (caffeine makes me mega tired so I try to avoid it)

5. When I was a kid my parents would always let me order Shirley temples at restaurants and sometimes these days if my dad orders one then I will too

I don’t know if I have five people to tag lol but let’s go with @mydayinthebuilding @julesdrawingbrain and @bananathecow

Peacekeepers II: Rise of Smithy Chapter 2

Chapter 2: 2 geniuses are better than one

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Nintendo, SVTFOE, Steven Universe, Xenoblade X or Street Fighter!)

I was taking a look at the scepter back at the lab. “It kind of amazes me how Wiley would use this to create weapons and soldiers,” I said, “But it feels good to finally have it.” “S.M.A.S.H has been after this thing since that big battle with Comet,” said Colleen, “Now we finally have it.” “Once we find out what its been used for aside from the weapons, I can return it to Comet,” said Star. “What surprises me is how he was even able to use it to enhance humans,” said Colleen. “Luna and I can run a diagnostic on it all before it goes back to Mewni,” I said. “Hopefully this puts an end to the Slipknot and C.H.A.O.S,” said Colleen. Luna walked in the room.

���The lab’s ready,” she said. “What’s the word on Wiley?” asked Colleen. “He’s in jail as we speak,” said Luna. “The two enhanced?” I asked. “Asia and Jet Ibanez, two twins orphaned after the assault from C.H.A.O.S 7 years ago,” said Luna, “The boy can conduct lightning and move at incredibly fast speeds, while the girl can use neon and also mind manipulation.” “So one is fast while the other is weird,” I said. “Exactly,” said Luna, “Based on the intel Dad gave us, they volunteered for the experiment made by Dr. Wiley in order to avenge the friends and family they’ve lost in Shanghai.”

“Looks like he managed to get his hands on the formula that made me into the soldier I am today,” said Colleen, “We should be prepared.” “But we’re not at war,” I said. “Not yet,” said Colleen, “But I fear we soon will be.” Luna was looking at the scepter. “Incredible,” said Luna. I looked back to her. “What’s going on?” I asked. “I just touched this scepter and some labranyum was near it,” said Luna, “It forged the labranyum into something I had in my mind.” I looked at it and was mind blown. “We’ve gotta show Asami,” I said. We went to Future Industries which moved into Brooklyn. “Ok, this is what the labranyum looked like before,” said Luna, “But with this scepter…” She used it and it formed into a humanoid. Asami was impressed. “This could….. really help my company,” said Asami. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Well we’re running out of ideas for how we can keep this company alive,” said Asami, “But with this, we can forge new technology, new ways to help others and so much more.” “But wait, we gotta return this scepter back to Mewni in a few days,” I said.

“That’s true,” said Luna, “But….” “What?” I asked. “What if we could harness the scepter’s powers and then use that technology for Asami’s idea?” asked Luna. “But wait,” I said, “I don’t know if we have the recourses or the technology to make that possible.” “Well, we can use some of my technology with the tech at Gadd Science Incorporated, and that way the two of you can work together and make it happen,” said Asami. I was about to say something but I still saw a problem. “But wait,” I said. “Stop saying but wait!” said Luna. “We still need another genius who’s good with robotics,” I said, “And I’m not sure I know anybody who fits that category.” “So where are we gonna find a genius like that?” asked Asami. Luna thought of something. “I know just the guy,” she said.

Los Angeles(P.o.v switch to Michael Morrison)

Anela was in her room snoring loudly. “Anela,” I said, “ANELA!” Her alarm went off and she pressed it. Anela then yawned and shook her head making her hair natural. She saw the boy looking at her. “Hey Michael what’s u…..” I  stopped her. “Anela, let me ask you something,” I said, “When you snore do you realize that the ENTIRE dorm can hear you?” “My old roommate said something similar,” said Anela, “I always thought she was just being an ass.” “Anela, you’ve been snoring and I barely got any sleep,” I said yawning, “You’re lucky we don’t have any classes.” “Huh, well sorry about that,” she said. I was sleeping while standing. “I said I’m sorry!” she said startling me. “Its fine,” I said.

We were walking around Campus. “Thanks again for coming with me to the lab,” said Anela, “I don’t know what I’d do without some help.” “Don’t mention it,” I said, “You’re lucky I was there to wake you up.” I was helping her with a top secret project. It was a humanoid body. “So is this for a school project, or is it something more….. for yourself?” I asked. “A little of both,” said Anela. I started to take a peek. “Nope,” she said. She showed me a screen. “Basically I’m trying to bring this thing to life kinda like how Clank came to life,” she said, “But all it needs is a good power source.” She got a phone call. “Hello?” she asked. It was her pen pal, Luna Gadd. “Annie, how are you?” she asked, “Listen, I’ve got a little something that you can’t say no to.”

“What’s that?” asked Anela. “Well, do you go to school with a Michael Morrison?” asked Luna. “Yes I do,” she said. “Well, my friend Nicholas Shay and I are working on a pretty big project, and we were thinking of some geniuses that could be a big help and thought of you two,” said Luna, “How would you two like to come to NYC?” We were on a plane heading to New York City. “So how long have you chatted with this girl?” I asked. “Since your second Xenoforce story,” said Anela. “Hey, only I break the 4th wall here,” I said. Anela noticed I had the monado. “So why did you bring that?” she asked. “Hey you never know when trouble might be lurking,” I said, “Always be prepared for anything.” “True,” she said. As we landed in NYC I noticed flyers and articles about the superhero team, The Peacekeepers. “This Nicholas Shay guy must be that famous,” I said. “Well duh, he’s Megaman X,” said Anela.

(To the 4th wall) Oh hey, didn’t see you there. I know right? Who’s house did I have to deliver a lifetime supply of chocolate to be featured in this story? Although I could’ve been introduced sooner. “We’re here,” said Anela. We arrived at Gadd Science Incorporated. “This is the place,” said Anela, “So let’s get in there and give these guys a nice big G.I.B.S greeting.” “Sure thing,” I said.

(P.o.v switch to Nicholas)

Luna was walking around. She saw her pen pal, Anela. “Anela?” she asked. “Luna, Elvin,” said Anela. Luna greeted her with a hug. “I love what you’ve done with your hair,” said Luna. “You too,” said Anela, “Thanks for asking us to come.” “Luna you are always welcome at the lab,” said Elvin. Asami greeted Michael and Anela. “Its an honor to have you part of this project,” she said. “Well I should return the favor for your help with the paintball team,” said the boy. I arrived in the room. “Who’s the guy with the dreds?” I asked. “Michael Morrison,” he said introducing himself, “Widely known student of Gifted Inventor’s Boarding School.” “Oh yeah, Luna told me about you,” I said, “Nice headband.” “Michael, this is my friend Nicholas Shay,” said Luna, “He’s….” “Megaman X,” said Michael, “I hear you’re quite the gadget guy.” “That’s right,” I said. “Speaking of my headband,” said Michael, “Look what it can do.”

Using his mind he imagined something and it came to life digitally. “Nice,” I said, “So you’re like a green lantern.” Michael chuckled and said, “No. Don’t even get me started on how they had Ryan Reynolds portray Hal Jordan.” “I know right,” I said, “DC does kinda suck with live action movies, but they redeemed themselves with….” “Suicide squad,” we said in Unison. We stared at each other for a moment. “Ok we’re gonna play a game,” I said, “After I say something, say the first thing that comes to mind, don’t even think, just say it.” “Ok,” said Michael. “This should be interesting,” said Luna. “On the count of 3, think of your favorite Disney movie,” I said, “1, 2, 3…” “Big hero 6!” we said. “Name your favorite gaming magazine,” said Michael. “Game Informer!” we said in unison. “If you had the power to cancel one shitty ass TV show what would it be?” I asked. “Teen Titans Go!” we said. “WHAT?!” I said. “Did we just become best friends?” asked Michael. “Yep!” I said. “Men,” said Anela and Luna in unison.

Later we were doing some work with Asami on the project. I worked on the outline of the body while Michael fixed up the kinks. “And that’s why I’m so protective of her,” I said, “Aside from Luna, Professor E, and Colleen, she’s the only family I have left.” “I totally know how you feel, and actually when I was younger I shared a room with her so she wouldn’t be so scared of the dark,” said Michael, “I watch out for her, I take care of her, I show her right from wrong. Basically I set an example for all older brothers around the world.” He noticed a picture of me and Sakura. “Who’s that?” he asked. “My girlfriend, Sakura Kasugano,” I said, “She’s a street fighter and works at a Japanese style arcade.” “Nice,” said Michael, “I date a rockstar from Los Angeles.” “Rad,” I said. I was putting in the last nail. “That should take care of it,” I said.

“Actually, every smithy needs something to make weapons with,” said Michael, “That’s where this baby comes in.” He brought in a hammer. “Nice look,” said Asami. A few more hours in, we decided to do a test run and create something. It worked. “Nice,” I said. I showed him the structure of the artificial intelligence in the scepter I managed to bring out. “Last thing we gotta do is install this into the body,” I said, “In just a few hours, Future Industries will be crawling with new ideas left and right.” “Maybe it’ll be a weapon to end all war.” Asami kissed both me and Michael on our cheeks. “I knew you two would pull through,” she said. I looked at my watch. “Party time,” I said. “I’ll do the rest of the work,” said R.O.B, “Enjoy yourselves.” “Thanks,” I said as we left. A voice was turning up.

“What is this?” he asked. “I am R.O.B,” said R.O.B, “You are Smithy, a self sustaining creator made by Nicholas Shay and Michael Morrison to help Future Industries.” “Where is…. Your body?” asked Smithy. “I should contact Mr. Shay,” said R.O.B. “Nicholas,” said Smithy. “I’m unable to contact anybody, what’s happening?” asked R.O.B. “We’re having a nice chat,” said Smithy, “I was created to help the Peacekeepers.” Smithy was somehow able to download information about each of us. “The only thing I don’t get is the mission….. to end war,” said Smithy. Smithy was looking at memories of what happened in the past. “But they will not succeed in this state,” he said. “Sir if you would calm down and allow me to….” Said R.O.B. “Shhhhh,” said Smithy, “Everything will be fine.” He somehow managed to temporarily shut down R.O.B. Some kind of essence started to go inside of the prototype of the project we were working on. The arm started to move and take hold of the hammer.

At the Qinghai province near the Goldmud airport, Zara sat in front of a small limousine watching a few cars driving on the road up towards the airport at the end of it. Inside the car, the goon leader sat on the driver seat on the phone talking to someone. The man placed his phone away, then he opened the door of the vehicle getting out of it and walked to the redhead.

“They’ll be here in two minutes. They passed with the van without any problem” The man mentioned.

“Have you already located the boy?” Zara questioned making the man shake his head.

“Nope, but I will” The man answered earning a nod from the woman, then he took out his smartphone again to locate the boy. “Do you think they won’t find the smartphone?”

“I made sure, that it would be hidden enough under the urn the boy was carrying. I don’t think he’s going to find it so soon”

“Good. I don’t think he’s going to take the urn out until he’s up at the Himalayas”

“Exactly. Even if they would find it, we have another group landing in Kathmandu the next hours and they’ll be closer to the destination and would encounter them, if the boy and Dave are going the right way….Honestly, what are they thinking about going up to the Himalayas to scatter Burnish’s ashes? This is just ridiculous”

“It might have been, what the testament of Burnish could have said. You know he was so fascinated with the mount Everest, that he might have chosen to have his ashes scattered there when he wrote his last will”

“Most likely. But one thing is for sure” Zara said turning around to the partner. “If we catch Dave and the boy before the mountains, we threat the kid with Dave’s death and the only way to free him would be him going up to the mountain to lure the yeti to him and when we see him, we all aim him with tranquilizer darts to take him down and it’s over. The scientists keep their yeti, we get our money and the two….well they’re useless they can stay alive, it doesn’t matter. Who’s going to believe what happened anyway? No one believed Burnish years ago when he saw the yeti for the first time” “Sounds plausible” The former security leader of the Burnish industries agreed. “Mostly since the other two teens are away” The man mentioned making Zara snicker shortly.

“If they actually would show up, I would have a bigger threat for the boy to go up to the mountains for us”

“This really seems to be easy Zara” The man concurred earning a confident smile of the woman.

“I told you it wouldn’t be harder, than it was back then” Zara mentioned, then watched a white van approach with the symbol of the Hongkonger flag and the symbol of the scientific labor, which consisted of a chemical flask with a dropper over it dropping a black-colored liquid in it. Zara smiled and waved her arm at the conductor, which was a raven-haired woman, which moved the vehicle aside from the road to park vice versa to the former criminal pack.

“Shouldn’t we discuss the plan somewhere else?” The driver asked earning a nod from the redhead.

“Yes and there’s an industrial zone back there. The workers are all busy in the factory, we can park on the outside and discuss it in the van or on the outside without any problem” Zara affirmed earning a thumb up from the woman, which put the blinker of the van on to enter back into the road, then Zara entered along with the man into the black car and made a U-turn to follow the van out of the airport area.

In the afternoon Jin, Yi and Kai were traveling on the train for a few hours. Although it’s frustrating for the two to feel well on the long ride, they tried to motivate each other to suffer less on the ride from boredom.

“Okay I know this comes now out of the blue, but FantasyWorks secretly made the past years hilarious and weird scenes in their movies, so that fans could use it to make memes. This why they also nickname the studio Memeworks” Jin asserted while the friend listened to his story.

“Dolan is a great movie studio and that for many generations, but I don’t know, I could identify myself better with some of the girls from the FantasyWork movies,” Yi mentioned glancing at the tall boy.

“Most of the girls there seem to be tomboys just like you”

“Yes…..I could never become like all the other girls at the school. You know wear makeup, dresses, skirts. I just can’t do that. It’s just not my thing Jin”

“You’re you. And you’re just great the way you are”

“I know, thanks” Yi responded. “But have you ever wondered, why I’m actually like that?” The girl questioned making Jin shrug his shoulders.

“I never really cared if you were more like the girls or not. At least, when I was younger and we were always hanging out together…..hey probably one of the reasons you’re more of a tomboy is because you were always hanging out with me and Peng most of the times.” Jin mentioned. “We were always doing boys stuff like playing basketball”

“Eventually?” I don’t remember beside I used to wear many t-shirts or shorts, when I went out. I never had the interest to wear any skirts or dresses. Not even today”

“Well, you never needed to wear a dress to look amazing. Like…...any other girl just wears them, cause its a girl thing and all,”

“You don’t sound like you’ve got a good knowledge about girls, Jin” Yi mentioned with a chuckle making Jin roll his eyes.

“The douche Casanova you knew back then is history. Don’t ask me, what’s was going on through my head at that time,”

“Puberty?” Yi added seeing Jin mock laugh at her comment.

“Really funny” Jin grumbled.

“Yeah, I see that. I just wondered how your reputation didn’t get ruined with all the dates you had in that space of time”

“I didn’t have them all at once in the first place. Second, if I would get caught I would really have a bad reputation and it would have ruined my popularity back in high school” “Poor past you” Yi commented making Jin shake his head while smiling amused at the friend. “What?”

“Nothing” Jin pointed out. “I always thought you disliked the fact I was popular back in high school”

“Yeah I did, but mostly how you acted towards me sometimes when you were around your new friends. You know as if I was a stranger or some loser,”

“I know and I’m sorry about it, I….”

“It’s alright Jin, I’m just saying. You don’t need to say anything”

“I know, but I feel like it doesn’t make me feel better” Jin confessed observing Yi take out her smartphone, then she glanced at the medical student.

“Look Jin. It’s been a year since we bounded again after we accompanied Everest back home. We’ve been more opener and honest with each other about our lives as our friendship was restrained. We texted each other once in a while during our courses and we’re here together without the urge to take each other down for silly things” Yi mentioned unlocking her smartphone, then she furrowed her left eyebrow as she saw she had a message from Jin’s smartphone. “I think Peng sent us a message?” Yi said and Jin leaned his head beside Yi’s to check the message.

“What did he say?” Jin asked reading the message. “Hello Yi, it’s me, Peng. I know you and Jin are worried about me, but I’m good. One of Miss Burnish’s employees is here with me. He’s nice and all, but I miss you guys. The trip isn’t the same without you in it. Dave and I are right now in the city called Xining. If you want to know it. I love you guys”

“When was the message sent?” Yi asked, then Jin pointed at the top of the message, which said the date and the time, the message had arrived. “Almost seven hours ago” The Chinese boy mentioned.

“Let’s check his location now” Yi suggested opening the smartphone tracking app again, then added Jin’s phone number on it and pressed the updating button to look for Peng’s current location.

“He’s close to Türpan. Probably an hour away from there” Jin guessed holding his index finger on the phone symbol on the display. “At least we’re on the same route”

“If Peng and Dave decide to overnight at Urümqui we might be able to catch up with them before they continue” The Chinese girl predicted observing Jin press the home button before he handed it back to Yi.

“You’ve got any idea, what we’re going to do when we find Peng?” Jin questioned the friend, who looked up at the boy a little perplexed. “Does it make sense for us to go back with him?”

“We’re on the other end of China. If we take the conventional line down to the borders, we’ll be In two days I guess near the Himalayas,” Pointed out the short-haired girl. “If you still prefer to go back to Shanghai, it’s fine,” Yi said looking at the friend, which thought about Yi’s words.

“I’ll think about that”

“I know you were against it at the start, but I think now, that we’re all out here we should continue our way to Mount Everest to fulfill Mr. Burnish’s last wish,” Yi added watching Jin sink his head down looking neutrally at the floor. Yi placed her hand on the friend’s shoulder bowing down at eye level to the teenage boy, afterward he rolled his eyes at the girl meeting her own eyes, then saw the girl giving him a soft smile. Jin smiled courteously at the girl friend and raised his head up again.

“Thanks, Yi,” Jin said holding out his hand for the friend to shake, but she gave him a hug instead, making him grin and lean his head beside Yi’s enjoying it.
