Immature

Leah Williamson x Teen!Gunner!R

“Oi! What’re you doin’ up there? Get down!”

You glanced down at your vice captain distastefully. “Why?”

“It’s dangerous!” Leah cried, standing at the base of the tree just outside the Arsenal training facility. “You could fall and break your arm or something!”

“So?”

“Uh—what d’you mean ‘so’?! You’re okay with getting a broken arm?”

You shrugged, gazing at the training pitches from your spot in the tall oak tree. “I can still play with a broken arm, eh?”

Leah’s mouth was agape. “No, you can’t!”

“Yes, I can!” you protested, climbing higher. “Katie scored a hat trick on international duty with a torn bicep! I’ll be fine.”

“Fucking Katie… you’re benched if you climb any higher!” Leah yelled.

You frowned. “Why?”

Leah scowled. “Because! You’re gonna get hurt!”

“Why?”

“Because! Those branches could break!”

“Why?”

“Because you’re heavy!”

“Why?”

“Becau—because! Get down from there!”

You stuck out your tongue, starting your descent. “Fine! You’re no fun.”

“Yes, I am! Just because I care about your well-being doesn’t make me boring!” the defender glared, taking a drink from her water bottle.

“Yeah, right! Steph cares about my well-being, but she’s loads more fun than you!”

Leah spit out her water, chasing after you as you sprinted into the building. “You take that back!”

-

“Who on the Arsenal squad is the best trash-talker?”

You glanced at the camera, then back at the BBC interviewer as you pondered the question. “Other than me? Maybe… maybe Caitlin.”

“Interesting,” he nodded thoughtfully. “And who would you say is the worst trash-talker?”

“Oh, easy. Leah Williamson.”

Kyra laughed as she walked past. “Oi, Lord Farquaad! Your kid just said you’re the worst trash-talker on the team!”

The England captain gasped indignantly, momentarily turning away from her media day activity set up nearby. “I’m great at trash-talking, what are you on about?”

You scoffed. “Oh, please. Your trash-talking skills are as bad as your bike riding skills.”

“OI!”

-

“Kyra,” you whispered, poking the Aussie that looked just as bored as you did at the seemingly unnecessary meeting. “Psst.”

She glanced over to make sure Jonas wasn’t paying attention, then looked over at you, lowering her voice. “Yeah?”

“When we get out of here… the sprinklers are on, right?”

“Yeah, why?”

The two of you went silent as Jonas glanced over, pretending to pay attention. “—have a better squad than them. If we go by the book, they will not be able to score…”

You smirked conspiratorially, voice even lower than before to avoid detection from some of your older teammates. “I’m gonna push Leah into them.”

Kyra grinned. “I’ll tell the admin.”

-

“Admin’s recording,” Kyra whispered to you as she jogged past, going to bug Steph. “Good luck.”

You grinned, waving to the camera discreetly before walking up to Leah. “Hi, cappy.”

She gave you a suspicious look, but kept walking. “What d’you want?”You shrugged as the two of you stepped onto the training pitch. “Just wanted to ask you what I should make for dinner.”

Leah raised her eyebrows, but nodded anyway. “Pasta’s always goo—OOF!”

“SURPRISE ATTACK!” You screeched, tackling her right into the nearest sprinkler’s line of fire.

“Get off me, you cheeky devil!” Leah protested, laughing. “I don’t wanna get wet! It’s cold out here!”

You snickered, wrestling her to the ground. “Womp womp!”

Nearby, Steph was shaking her head in amusement. “I swear, Y/N is like Leah’s Kyr���OI!”

Kyra gleefully shoved Steph into another sprinkler set up a few feet away, cackling like a witch. “SURPRISE ATTACK!”

“HEY!” Steph cried, chasing after her. “You’re such a pest! Get back here!”

You laughed at the two aussies, then gave Leah a rough noogie with one hand and the camera a thumbs up with the other. “Love you, cappy!”

Leah stuck out her tongue, giving you a slight push. “You and Kyra are so bad.”

“Not nearly as bad as your culinary taste.”

“OI!”

MEETING – leah williamson

leah williamson x child!reader

based on this request | bubba masterlist

love love love writing for this lil universe so please keep the requests coming

the first few weeks of your life were spent in complete bliss, leah happily soaking up every single moment between the two of you in your own little bubble - before she'd have to introduce you to the chaos that was the rest of the world.

despite the eagerness of those around her to meet you, she had strictly said no visitors until she was ready, bar her own mother, who had moved in temporarily as you both settled into this new life.

-

you had just hit three weeks old when leah had finally felt ready to allow a few more people into your space, having settled a little more into the swing of things and also not having the energy to turn offers down any longer.

it started off small - with her nearest and dearest, her dad, brother, grandma, and friends, of course including keira, and then gradually branched out to perhaps the most impatient of the lot, your rather large flock of aunties - also known as her teammates.

due to you being born mid season, the arsenal girls were going to be the first ones to meet you, much to the dismay of some of the lionesses especially georgia, keira obviously not helping the cause whatsoever by endlessly boasting about the fact she'd met you before any of them.

(leah would never tell a soul that keira was so nervous when she met you that she had barely held you, and instead timidly patted your head, and said it was 'nice to meet you' whilst shaking your tiny hand)

she had originally planned on hosting the weekly team night at her apartment and letting the girls all meet you there, but then went against it when she realised just how cramped her living room actually was when it held an entire very eager football team inside, alongside the fact that going out and getting some fresh air was something she desperately needed, and an escape from the newborn chaos that had taken over her home.

so, she had instead settled for arranging with jonas a day where there wasn't an awful lot of training to do and only the odd meeting or two, where she'd bring you into the training ground and introduce them to you there as a mini surprise.

-

after what had felt like a year of trying to get ready to leave the house, leah still adjusting to just how much stuff and preparation was needed for such a tiny little human, she finally pulled into the car park and got you both out, praising her parking job and getting you both there alive before having what felt like the battle of her life with the pram whilst getting it out.

kim, the only one of the girls who knew she was coming, and the unofficial mother figure of the team- met her outside, marvelling over you in an instant, before leading the way to the meeting room where the rest of the team were.

-

a collective gasp travelled across the meeting room as leah entered, with you bundled into her arms, the focus immediately off jonas’ attempted distraction ramble and all on you.

“is she seriously in an arsenal kit lee” alessia giggled, letting you clasp one of her fingers in your hand, as the rest of the team gathered around the pair of you in absolute awe.

“of course she is less! gotta teach her young haven’t i, my little gooner! especially when she’s got an uncle and grandad who are dead set on making her a spurs fan - so who wants a hold first?” the blonde replied, switching the conversation and ignoring the laughter and the teasing remarks about her passion for her club, instead letting them fight over who got to hold you first.

-

you had been pretty fussy in everyone’s arms apart from your mother’s, not being a huge fan of the unfamiliarity and all of the sudden movement when being passed around the room, until beth had insisted on viv holding you despite how nervous she had been, and your grizzles had settled almost instantly, and your frown which was the carbon copy of your mother’s faded.

“hi schatje, i’m your auntie viv, we love you so much already.” she murmured, stroking your cheeks ever so softly as you stared back up at her, still in the phase where you were fascinated by the world around you.

you beamed as she tickled your nose, your first official, non wind related smile that leah had been desperate to coax out of you for weeks now.

“looks like vivi is a natural! even baby williamson can sense that she’s a goat!” katie grinned, forever the leader of the ‘miedema fan club’, leaning on the dutch woman’s shoulder and poking her tongue out at you.

-

“welcome to the one of your forever homes my girl. you’re so so loved already.” leah whispered to you, cradling you and embracing the moment of peace she had after stepping away from the chaos in order to settle you down in your pram - allowing kyra and vic, who you’d undoubtedly overtake in maturity at some point, to take you on a walk around with steph’s supervision for your nap.

when i was a kid i got banned on neopets for being hacked (neopets staff claimed hacking did not exist and I must have provided my password to someone in an attempt to cheat) so i, heartbroken, branched out to different virtual pet sites (many of which are now defunct). my favorite was called sorpiland, which had very little gameplay and was mostly just a forum where people chatted. once i got banned from the sorpiland forums for 3 days for writing and proudly posting the lyrics to my own sorpiland themed cover of kids of america, which the moderator, who had apparently never seen cinematic masterpiece jimmy neutron: boy genius, identified as plagiarism of the jonas brothers cover "kids of the future". another time i got banned for mentioning neopets, which the same moderator referred to as "the N word"

In some branches of Astrology, the Sun is commonly associated with the Husband whereas the Moon is associated with the Wife. In Modern Astrology, Jupiter is representative of the Ideal Man or Spouse for Feminines and Venus is representative of the Ideal Woman or Spouse for Masculines. That's why the Sun/Jupiter and Moon/Venus Midpoints are important to look at when considering Romantic Compatibility. They are a combination of what we are subconsciously attracted to in a partner and therefore the energies/signs we naturally gravitate to and form connections with.

The Sign That Your Sun/Jupiter (For People Attracted To Masculines) or Moon/Venus (For People Attracted To Feminines) Midpoint Is In Could Tell You Your Ideal Partners;

Sun, Moon, or Venus Sign

Catherine Zeta - Sun/Jupiter MP in Libra | Michael Douglas - Sun + Venus in Libra

Keith Urban - Moon/Venus MP in Leo | Nicole Kidman - Venus in Leo

Paul Newman - Moon/Venus MP in Aquarius | Joanne Woodward - Moon in Aquarius

David Beckham - Moon/Venus MP in Aries | Victoria Beckham - Sun in Aries

Nicole Kidman - Sun/Jupiter MP in Cancer | Keith Urban - Moon in Cancer

Nicole Kidman - Sun/Jupiter MP in Cancer | Tom Cruise - Sun in Cancer

Perrie Edwards - Sun/Jupiter MP in Leo | Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain - Sun in Leo

Kismet Snippets

Brought to you by the Trolls Discord.

Ablaze:

- Used to be "We R Who We R" by Kesha

- After being introduced to rock music it's now also "Why Worry" by Set It Off

Trickee:

- "Lucky Strike" by Maroon 5

- "Deal with It" by Ashnikko

- Listens to a lot of sad music when he's alone

Hype:

- Will lose his shit to Kesha with Ablaze but he prefers "Crazy Kids"

- A really big fan of "Right Now" by Sabrina Carpenter and "Anything Can Happen" by Tors

Boom:

- Loves "What a Man Gotta Do" by the Jonas Brothers

- Guilty pleasure for country, really likes "Homegrown" by Zac Brown Band and "I Don't Want This Night to End" by Luke Bryan

- Favorite song of all time is "It's Gonna Be Me" by BroZone and he will not tell Branch that.

Branch:

- Eclectic loser, doesn't have a favorite

- Really likes "Lose Your Way" by Broadside and "When the Earth Stands Still" by the Phoenix Chamber Choir, though.

Ablaze: Raspberry Sprite and Steak Nachos with extra jalapeños.

Trickee: Limonada/Brazilian Lemonade and blackberry and cheese danishes.

Hype: Fruit Punch Energy Drink (any brand) and fruit salad without any grapes.

Boom: Supersweet caramel coffee with whipped cream and soba, hot or cold for both the food and the drink.

They all build their bonds with Branch before they start to meet each other through him. Their individual friendships start to form long before they consider starting up a band.

Branch never stopped singing, not completely. Not until Kismet broke up. He didn't sing often after Grandma Rosiepuff died and he never sang in public. What he did sing was never happy but he still sang to himself on occasion. Music was in his blood, both as a Troll and as someone who's been performing since he was in diapers. It's not something that he could just quit at the drop of a hat like that.

It's only after Branch builds them their own hideout that the idea starts to form. Kismet are all hanging out in the space that Branch built for them, drinking after some party or another, and singing loudly. Underneath them screaming the lyrics, though, one of them hears a softer voice singing along. "Oh my- Branch your voice is so good!" "You sing!?" "Hey, that's damn good."

That's when the first spark ignites.

It takes a while for them to bring up being a band, let alone getting Branch to join in, and it takes even longer for Branch to open up about BroZone and his childhood. But they get there, they assure Branch that there's no pressure, but Branch feels safe with them and he likes singing so one day he tentatively agrees.

Branch never preformed on stage and he was never shown in the band's branding but everyone knew there was a fifth member of Kismet.

updated update of the Xavier (SFTH) family tree!!

@not-an-idiot thank you very much for your help with this!!! i made this post because there have been quite a few developments to it and it's nice to have it all in one post :))

here is the overview, and then we'll dive deeper into each branch/backstory on the tree! (long post under the cut because i cannot stop rambling about this stuff, it's so interesting)

----

BUS: Celia is just a random name, but felt fitting! 'Big Dick' has always been a nickname of the family's patriarch, Arthur. He is also the main source of any sort of 'powers' within the family, as he is able to time travel/project his consciousness across space and time (much like his daughter, Thomasin).

He has some kind of immortality deal going on, and he dedicates his books to his great-great grandson, Samuel Babb-Dailey (aka the protagonist from Beetroots & Murder).

TOO BIG TO BE A JOCKEY: Jonas Langbook is the youngest of Celia and Arthur's 3 children, and he is also the manor owner from Too Big To Be A Jockey. He's the family 'embarrassment' but the parents favour him, because he reminds BD of himself. he did not 'earn' the manor, in fact- it was a gift.

Despite his flaws, Jonas loves his nieces and in fact, often has Samantha visiting as she often struggled with leaving the house, (his sister was always the same, little did they know it's a side affect of the visions) and so this encouraged her in doing so, and helped her build her confidence. Jonas would also teach both Sally and Samantha how to ride, and one night, Samantha was out in the stables, and that's where she met Egbert for the first time (but more on that later).

PRISCILLA'S FINAL PETAL: Earl is both his name and title- he moved to Germany from England because he wanted to stay as far away from Jonas as possible. (because he's a dick)

He met Annabelle at a German flower shop, they got married, had Priscilla etc. but much like his brother, Earl struggles to keep his eyes on one thing, and he ends up meeting one of Thomasin's friends, Lily, when he is visiting Celia on her deathbed. (something something, their entire relationship has been built upon important people in their lives dying).

Unfortunately, Annabelle dies, but Lily's there to comfort him, and be a good mother figure for Priscilla. How wholesome!

MARIGOLDS, BLUEBELLS, AND HUGH: Annabelle is the daughter of Inga and Hugh (aside, i've not watched this play in ages, so like i'm not saying they're romantically involved or anything bc i don't remember it much at all, so they could've just adopted her etc.), and she's always loved plants. So much so that when she and Earl first move into their estate, she insists on planting all sorts, for example, buttercups.

THE LEFTENMOST WINDOW: Thomasin is the middle child and only daughter of Celia and BD. From a young age, Thomasin has struggled with fatigue, headaches and leaving the house. Alexander was one of the Langbrook's 'Hallboys' and was Thomasin's only friend for most of her childhood.

They got married at ages 19 & 20 respectively. BD had a lot of respect for Alexander, but Celia would often try to break the pair up. At age 15, Thomasin had her first traverse across the astral plane, and told no one, apart from her father. When the Boer war broke out, Samantha and Sally had both already been born, but Alexander still had no idea.

He only found out when one night, he heard a voice he thought that he'd never hear again.

Samantha is around 6 years older than Sally, and during the Boer war, acted as her main caretaker for a while due to Thomasin's migraines becoming worse and getting more frequent. Sally's always been the more rambunctious of the pair, and at ages 15 and 9 respectively, the two of them travel to Jonas' manor.

Sally is always up and about, running around the stables, talking to the farmhands, whereas Samantha is usually reading inside, or sitting on the hay bales.

One night, Samantha falls asleep outside on one of those days, and who wakes her up? None other than the son of one of her uncle's friends, Egbert Babb-Dailey. 3 years later, the two of them are getting married and then the First World War breaks out, leading to Samantha's powers to develop.

(i've made so many TLW posts that go further into these ideas, feel free to check them out!!)

BEETROOTS AND MURDER: Samantha and Egbert have two children (they were both born later on in their lives, as they struggled to conceive), however, when their children are quite young, Samantha and Egbert pass away in a house fire, the cause of which is unknown.

Samuel 'Big Dick' Babb-Dailey is sent away to live with Cyrus and Summer Setchell (get it?). He has repressed all memories of his life before moving to Somerset. All he remembers is that he quite likes fire. The only connections he has to his past are the dedications in the sex books some random guy writes and then drops off at his parents house. This has led to him also getting the nickname 'Big Dick' and quietly resenting the man. He also has no idea about his sister.

The fire gives him back some memories of his past, but all he can really remember are their names.

THE PILOT'S FINAL FLIGHT: Martha is Egbert and Samantha's second child, and instead of being sent away like her brother, her aunt Sally insisted on taking her in. (possibly because she's aware that it's more likely for Martha to develop the visions than her brother, and she doesn't want her to suffer alone the same way Samantha did).

For most of her life, Martha actually didn't seem that affected by anything. She was more like Sally than Samantha and Sally began to wonder whether or not she'd taken in the right sibling, but then when Martha was 16, she became afflicted by terrible migraines.

Months after the migraines started, Martha awoke in a cold sweat, and explained that she had a vision of a horrible fire and the name Samuel. That was her first ever future dream, and the last time she ever had one... Well. Technically.

Martha and Leyland meet for the first time because he's (attempting) to buy flowers for his mum, but really has no idea what he's doing or what she'd want. Martha has some knowledge of flowers, because her 'Aunt' Priscilla had gifted her several books, so she assisted him in picking the best ones. From there on, the rest was history.

They got married, Leyland graduated and joined the RAF Research project, all whilst raising their son, Michael. When Leyland's mission goes horribly wrong, Sally begins to take up most of the childcare, allowing Martha to develop a drinking problem. There comes a point where Sally refuses to help her anymore, so Martha is left alone to raise Michael for good.

Years go by, Leyland doesn't return, Martha's not had a dream in years and Michael just seems angry. (In my mind, he's inherited more of Arthur BD's traversing powers, than the future dreams)

And then Martha starts to hear him calling to her, and Michael goes into the astral plane to save him, and all is done.

THE NEIGHBOUR'S UNDER THE BED/DARK MOONS OF SLOUGH Samuel becomes a single father to James and Penelope, who are twins. The pair are mostly raised equally, until Penelope develops her future dreams at age 9 and this majorly scares Samuel. (reminds him of worse times).

With this, Samuel focuses nearly all of his attention on James, bringing him to every football match and providing attention and support, whilst completely ignoring Penelope.

At first, James did feel bad for his sister, and would try and get his dad to pay attention to her, but eventually, just ignoring her and going along with whatever Samuel was doing was easier, and also felt better.

James' first future dream came when he was 15, and Samuel was much more prepared this time. Penelope would watch in envy, and the boys would ignore her completely.

He eventually meets his Martha at one of his matches (Penelope was there too, she always was) and the pair go on to get married, and have Johnny and Janae. After the kids were born, Penelope left and moved to Slough.

When she heard that Janae had also developed future dreams at the same age Penelope had, she came back. Over the years, she'd managed to make a soup which helped to repress the headaches, so she would send batches over to help her family.

does this make sense? hopefully xx

SAFT Volume 6 SPOILERS!!!

I read more on SAFT Vol 6 last night and learned so much. The anime really changed/removed/altered some of the scenes, some for the better and others debatable. It also includes a MAJOR shocking surprise revelation that wasn't included in the anime when Shall learns of his origins!!!

Anne's Kidnapping

The scene where Lafall kidnapped Anne is a little different. She was being forcibly dragged to Lafall when she taken and almost forced to crawl on her knees like a dog, much to Shall's anger. When Lafall had her in his arms, he embraced her from behind and it goes into more detail about the kiss he gave her. He didn't just kiss her neck, but her hair and cheek too!

Shall kisses Anne

Instead of already being asleep on the floor infront of the fireplace, Anne had actually fallen asleep in Shall's arms and he was holding her close to his chest in the book. He was angered that Lafall kissed her in order to remove his presence from her, Shall kissed all the spots where Lafall had and it's very....😳. He had to stop himself. Lafall arrived with Warrior Fairies with a bed for Anne and Shall carried her again and tucked her in!

Lafall proceeded to reveal the truth to Shall about their origins inside the room, (instead of taking Shall outside on the roof like in the anime) and was tempted to touch a sleeping Anne again, only to be stopped by Shall, yelling for him to never lay a finger on her!

The Truth about Liz

When Lafall began explaining the truth about his and Shall's origins, he also revealed a shocking connection about Liz in the process! (A reminder, Liz is the young girl who gave Shall life and was his only close human friend before Anne) It's revealed that Liz was a member of the Royal Family! She was from a branch family related to the royals and it's revealed she was supposed to be the guardian to the sword that held the gemstones of Shall and his brothers in order to prevent the birth of the next fairy king. Due to her role, she was forced to be sheltered for most of her life, but being a young and curious child, she sneaked into the chapel where the gems were kept and upon looking into the obsidian gave Shall life!

Also the origin scene is a bit more physical since Shall and Lafall practically come to blows. Shall is forced against the wall when Lafall reveals the truth and begins his manipulations on why Anne and Shall can't be together.

Plus there were some other interesting facts too.

When Anne found and confronted a drunk Jonas, she slapped him! (again)

The Fairy King Rislva was born from a Ruby gemstone.

Anne is not a good singer and is tone-deaf.

[ad-astra-per-aspera-1389]

im asking you about the lab rats + btr boys dynamics here instead lol!! give me all the deets

Good, bc I don't feel like finding my original post about it! (I realized about halfway through the second paragraph that this is going to be kind of long...)

Oh geez, okay, I'm putting parenthetical asides in italics bc it was hard for even me to read. It...it has to go under a cut for my own sanity

to get it out of the way, Donald and Griffin are both weird rich men (Donald's age is inconsistent, but he's in his late 30s/early 40s, depending on which episode you believe, so I wouldn't really call him "old", per se), but they probably butt heads and avoid each other when they can. I doubt it's very difficult though, seeing as Donald is in tech and Griffin has like eight billion different things his company manufactures. Donald is focused on money too, but his company is only tech based, while Griffin has branched out to include more things. I bet they hate each other SO much.

I don't think Chase and Logan would actually butt heads too much. They're both the smartest people in their households (okay technically Chase IS smarter than Donald), and they don't really have anyone else to connect over nerdy stuff with. Chase's smarts are valued when it matters, but he gets made fun of for being nerdy (in the way siblings do) and while Logan doesn't get made fun of, really, his smarts are also valued for what they can do for others. I think Chase and Logan would love having someone they can talk to about their interests (space being one they would connect over, along with medical science. Logan wants to be a doctor, and Chase has literally taken classes to become "a chiropractor in the Philippines" in the computer lab on his literal first day of high school) without needing to help anyone. They can just be nerds. Post-You Posted What?!?, Logan is going to lose his shit when he finds out Chase has been to space before. Chase would get to talk for like an hour about how his bionic infrastructure works and Logan would listen intently.

The main dynamics I was thinking about were Chase + Logan, Adam + Carlos, and Bree + Kendall, initially.

I think Bree would so have a little crush on Kendall at first, but it wouldn't last very long.

Now that I think about it...if Katie is in the picture...ok, hold on. Bree and Katie would get along fantastically...eventually. Bree "I need a sister" Davenport and Katie Knight? Oh my god, the way that would unfold... Bree obviously wants to act like an older sister to her, because she's always wanted a sister. If you've seen Jonas LA, it's a little like that time Stella tried to babysit Kiara at first, up until Bree gets frustrated and her inner tomboy comes out, much to Katie's relief. (Katie kept running off to talk to Chase about the stock market and things of that nature. She sounded very intellectual, and she wasn't incorrect, so Chase took her seriously, which is saying something since he's always the first to correct people.) Bree and Katie eventually mastermind a prank on all of their brothers, and Bree learns that the idea of having a sister isn't all ribbons and glitter, and that that's okay.

AND ADAM AND CARLOS. Even pre-You Posted What?!?, they hit it off almost immediately. ("Why do you wear that helmet all the time?" "I get hit in the head a lot" "Oh, cool, maybe I need one of those...") They set up something akin to the zipline course in the Davenport living room (the Davenliving room? lol), just something super dangerous and irresponsible, but unrelated to bionics. Adam makes the mistake of using one of Donald's inventions and it goes horribly wrong. (Not like, resulting in death wrong, just "wrong" along the lines of Adam getting shrunk down to 2 inches tall or Bree's hair growing down to the floor/getting burnt off) Post-You Posted What?!? Carlos is an eager participant in games such as Bionic Brother Toss and Human Bullseye Bounce (I had to look up the episode to find the name of that one), which are very dangerous (for Carlos), but luckily he always has his helmet! They're never bored together. Never.

I think this crossover lends itself well to a plotline where Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo get to see the better side of James's personality. Leo especially would get SO fed up with James's occasional self-centeredness (ironic since Leo has his moments, too) and I think it would be hilarious, but in certain circumstances James has been known to put his friends first and not even think about himself (like in Big Time Movie) and the setting/nature of lab rats provides ample opportunities for characters to be in danger. James uses his conceitedness as a defense mechanism, and Chase becomes more egotistical (at times) in later seasons for the same reasons. I think a later seasons version of Chase could eventually realize that he and James have more in common than they thought, but as it stands, earlier seasons Chase isn't as self-absorbed (side note: Chase's overconfidence is about his intelligence, while James's is about his looks. this is where they clash. once the veil falls, they realize they're both insecure and playing themselves up to mask that. the conflict lies in finding a plot point that would result in both of their masks coming down at the same time or close to each other), and the one person they know who's that obnoxious about their looks is Mr. Davenport, and none of them (consciously) want to be like their father. HOWEVER, an Event occurs, and the lab rats + Leo realize James more layers than he lets people see. (Leo can make any interaction funny, though. Leo "I think what this needs is a little dab o' Dooley" Dooley and James "who's handsomer than you? no one!" Diamond in a room together? Leo would roast the shit out of him in a one-sentence quip and the conversation would just continue and leave James in the dust. Early seasons Leo, that is. Later seasons Leo is more jaded--though still funny--ever since the lab blew up, he almost lost multiple limbs, etc. so I think his dynamic with James would be different.) But yeah, James has layers that he sorta needs a catalyst to reveal, but I think the rats would get along with him much better once he lets his true colors show.

Kendall is an interesting one. I actually think he and Chase would butt heads more than Logan and Chase would. Kendall is the "leader", as appointed by his friends, but Chase has been "Mission Leader" since he was twelve years old (he says twelve in some bionic island episode, but I don't remember which one. at the very least he's been mission leader since he was fourteen) and as late as elite force he's still attached to that title. If something were to go down, both Chase and Kendall would try to resume the position of "leader" and they would inevitably clash. Kendall is more easygoing than Chase is. Chase is very by the book and calculated, so Kendall's more chaotic methods of leading would get on his nerves. They wouldn't hate each other, but it would take time for them to learn to compromise.

As much as Kendall loves his little sister, I can see this exchange clearly:

Bree: I need a sister. Kendall: You want mine? Katie: Hey! Kendall: I'm kidding!

but anyway, I can see Kendall and Bree getting along well. Maybe Bree has a little crush and they go on a few dates, but they realize they work better as friends. Either way, Bree is feminine but can still kick Kendall's ass (which Kendall seems to be drawn to; re: Jo and probably also Lucy). They go to hockey games together after they had to tell Adam he wasn't allowed to go with them anymore (he got too hyped and his plasma grenades glitched...in an arena...).

There's more combinations of character dynamics, but I've already typed so much and I can't think of much for the rest of them right now.

The Atlantis Expedition

Chapter Seventeen: Constellations

Airheart and her crew were not, in fact, waiting for them back at the temple’s entrance, much to their collective relief. They decided to make camp there for the night before heading back to the shore in the morning, and hopefully avoid crossing paths with the sky pirates along the way.

Benny made his way outside as soon as he thought he would go unnoticed, heading for the canopy to stargaze, and get his thoughts in order. He was also still mad and didn’t care to be around his friends at the moment. Oh, he knew Unikitty was just heckling him- that had been a staple of their friendship pretty much since the moment they’d met- but her teasing had crossed a line this time. She had no right to call him out like that in front of the others…!

He didn’t bother to look as he heard faint puffing and the clattering of hooves against wood as the friend in question was trying to make her way up to his perch. “You’re not welcome,” he said as soon as she made it up to his branch.

“Oh, come on Benny,” she whined. “Do you have any idea how hard it is to climb trees with hooves?”

“Did it not occur to you that that’s maybe the point of my being up here?”

“Look, I’m sorr-”

“You had no right, saying something like that in front of everyone! I mean I don’t care that Jonas knows, he’s been my best friend as long as you have and probably figured it out already, but the others-”

Unikitty laid her ears flat and stomped a hoof on the branch, nearly shaking Benny off of it. “Won’t judge you for it either. The world’s not the way it was when you left it, Benny. You’re going to have to get used to that.” She sighed and sat down. “I am sorry I embarrassed you, though. And I’ll make sure Lucy and Busy don’t say anything to Bad Cop until you’ve told him.”

“I don’t know if I even will.”

“What? Why not?”

Benny shrugged. “I’ve been trying to give hints, nothing so obvious as to freak him out but not too subtle either. You know, try to gauge his reactions, but he hasn’t responded to any of it. If anything, he just writes it off as one of my ‘quirks’ and continues on like it’s business as usual. I can’t get a read on him, and if he’s not interested… He’s a good friend, and I don’t want to risk losing that. Heh…” He pressed the heel of his palm into an eye. “Imagine that. Being Bad Cop’s friend started out as a chore, but now I can’t bear the thought of him not being around…”

“Oh, Benny,” Unikitty cooed, and scooted forward to press her rough tongue to his forehead. “Come on. Metalbeard’s telling stories, maybe that’ll help distract you.”

“Better be a good one,” the spaceman mumbled, wrapping his arms around her and burying his face in her fur. She nudged him onto her back and leapt back to the ground, landing light as a feather. “A thought occurs to me,” he said as he slid back onto the ground. She looked at him expectantly. “How come you’re giving me crap, but not Emmet and Lucy?”

“Well, one, Emmet and Lucy are already together- but you can bet your lucky stars I will be shrieking the moment those two finally have their first proper kiss.” She grinned and bounced, and Benny laughed.

“Yeah, I can believe that. Two?”

“You’re my best friend and it’s practically my job to give you crap about your crushes. Besides, you’re just sooo cute about it I can’t help myself!” She giggled as he turned red again and gave her a shove.

“Shut up, ‘Kitty…” She snickered and pranced back inside.

He took a moment to compose himself before following her. Sure enough, Metalbeard was in the middle of one of his favorite tales- the almost-prank-war. Much as he liked to gripe about Benny’s mischief, he also took great pleasure in seeing it unleashed on others, especially those particularly deserving of it.

There’d been a good reason Caesar had permanently banned Benny from Pirate’s Cove, after all.

“Ah, there ye be, Benny!” Metalbeard called out over the others’ laughter. “I saved me best tale for last, almost thought ye’d miss it!”

“You mean the prank war isn’t your best story?” Benny chuckled. “Sure seems to have slayed them.” Emmet in particular was doubled over wheezing, tears streaming down his face as he tried to catch his breath.

“That was definitely… inventive,” Bad Cop remarked, looking immensely amused. “Seems this Caesar doesn’t like being out-pranked.”

“Not especially, no,” Benny agreed, sitting down to join the circle. “So which one is it, Metalbeard? The zombie pirates? The cursed treasure? The raid on Octan Tower?” That one was met with a chorus of annoyed groans, and Benny grinned. “Oh, how about that one with the lady you kept flirting with who turned out to be a-”

“Hush, Benny,” Metalbeard interrupted, and the astronaut snickered. “Nay, it be the tale of when we first met.”

“Ooooh.” Benny bounced.

“I’m guessing it’s a very interesting one, if that devious grin Benny’s sporting is any indication,” Business said.

“Oh it is. Cause it’s also the story of how I escaped Bad Cop the first time.”

“…Oh good lord,” the cop in question groaned, facepalming as Benny cackled in delight, and his former employer looked positively eager to hear it.

“Is this the story you were telling me about a while back?”

“They told you?” Bad Cop sulked.

“Teased me with it more like, they wouldn’t give me a single detail…”

“Shh!” Unikitty scolded, and Metalbeard started his tale.

“So this was about five years ago, just as Bad Cop was really startin’ to whip his robot forces into shape. Me crew and I fled beyond the Tower, hopin’ he wouldn’t follow us into uncharted territory. We did manage to lose him in the fog, but only for a short while. We chanced upon a small island, when me lookout spotted what be a fancy coffin washed up on the beach! Naturally we had to go take a look, couldn’t leave a soul lost at sea. Still dunno how we managed it, but we got it opened, and inside was Benny. Imagine our surprise when he was still breathing! So we bring him aboard, tend to him as best we can. He wakes up right soon- just as Bad Cop catches up to us again.” Emmet snuggled up close to Lucy, eyes wide.

“Oh no!”

“Oh yes!” Metalbeard crowed. “Nearly caught us that time, he did!”

“I did almost have you,” Bad Cop muttered bitterly, “if it hadn’t been for that lunatic.” Benny only snickered in response.

“This is the best part,” the astronaut whispered to Emmet.

“So Benny takes one look at Bad Cop and his troops, and off he goes, trying to use his jetpack and his own head to ram Bad Cop’s cruiser, playin’ chicken with him,” Metalbeard snickered.

Benny cackled. “Yeah, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that look of shock on your face,” he teased. Bad Cop scowled back at him in response.

“Bad Cop goes down to avoid him, and Benny shoots straight into one of the robots’ transports, has it apart quick as lightning.”

“He used the electrical cables from that transport to make a tripwire and took out three more in one go,” Bad Cop grumbled. “Then set off a fuel explosion that blew up another four. I’d never been more embarrassed.”

“Hey, who’s tellin’ the story?” Metalbeard snapped. “Anyway- next thing we know he’s comin’ back loaded down with bits of shrapnel and wire and engine parts, and he’s got me puttin’ propellers on me ship! And there’s an engine in me cargo hold! He sets that lever up by the helm and in a blink we be off, leavin’ Bad Cop and his robots in our wake. Saved our skins, he did.”

Somehow during the telling, Benny made his way over to drape himself over Bad Cop’s back, chin resting on his head and arms draped loosely over his shoulders. To his credit, Bad Cop didn’t even bat a lash at it. Business was smirking at his former henchman. “Well, I can see now why that incident didn’t get reported. Goodness, that’s humiliating.”

“Well, it worked out for the best anyway,” Emmet piped up. “If Benny hadn’t been part of our team, we never would have succeeded in stopping you from Kragling the world, and we wouldn’t be here now enjoying each other’s company.”

“Speaking of which,” Lucy sat up, looking at him, “you never did tell us what happened after you fell into the Infinite Abyss.”

“Aye lad, I’d be curious to know, too,” Metalbeard added.

“And me!” Benny chirped.

“Well… It was very disorienting at first. Everything was enormous, and I couldn’t budge a muscle! And then I got stepped on by a giant!” He was met with gasps of horror. “But somehow I didn’t get squished. And then he picked me up and I thought he was going to eat me, but he just… smiled at me, and said ‘hi, Emmet!’ Like we were old friends.”

“Was it The Man Upstairs??” Unikitty gasped.

“No, he was just a little boy,” Emmet said. “I think his name’s Finn.”

Benny felt Bad Cop stiffen under him. “Huh? What is it?”

“The boy who makes the stories…” Bad Cop mumbled, drawing the others’ attention. Emmet’s eyes went wide.

“Did you meet him too??”

“No, I didn’t meet him.” Bad Cop frowned. “But I think I did have a dream about him. When I was in the hospital. He was… saying something… I don’t think I ever quite caught what, but then, I don’t think it was directed at me in the first place.”

“Keelan?” Lucy guessed.

“Yes.”

“Who be Keelan?” Metalbeard asked.

“Can we meet him??” Emmet was giving him such an earnest look, he couldn’t find it in him to say ‘no’ outright.

“…Let me find out if he’s up to it.” Would you like to meet the others?

…thEy won’T laUGh?

They won’t laugh, promise. “Be nice, and don’t crowd him,” Bad Cop instructed before switching out. Keelan hunched in on himself at Business’ shocked staring, but relaxed when he caught Lucy’s reassuring smile and felt Benny’s arms wrap around him to give him a squeeze.

“So, uh.” Business cleared his throat. “You’re Keelan?”

“I’m Emmet!” the Special introduced himself, holding out a hand. After a bit of prompting, Keelan took his hand and shook it. “Nice to meet you!”

“Um, nice to meet you…”

“So we didn’t exactly have proper introductions last time, but my name’s Lucy, and the nerd who’s currently got himself wrapped around you is-”

“Benny,” Keelan finished, smiling sheepishly. Said ‘nerd’ snickered. “I- I know. Cary, um, Cary told me.” He looked around at the group. “And- and you’re, um, Metalbeard, and you’re Unikitty, and you’re- you’re Business.”

Business slumped. “Not even a first-name basis?” he pouted.

“Well what did you expect?” Benny smirked. “B’s still kinda ticked off at you, and the kiddo here only knows what B will tell him.” He ruffled Keelan’s hair. “Don’t worry, he’s really not so bad once you get to know him.” Keelan reached up and smoothed his hair back into place without a word. “You getting used to everything okay?”

“Y-yeah. Cary makes it easy.”

“You know, I never would have thought that under all the claws and the teeth and the grrr that Bad Cop’s really a big softie,” Emmet mused. “I mean, once you actually get on his good side, anyway. He’s kind of terrifying otherwise.”

“But he’s not scary.”

“Maybe not to you, sweetie, but we kind of have history together,” Lucy explained. At Keelan’s confused look, she shook her head. “It’s a long story, and it’s in the past anyway. We’re friends now, so it’s nothing you’ll have to worry about.”

“Okay…”

The trek back to the shore was surprisingly uneventful. As each day passed without sign of the sky pirates, their spirits continued to lift with the hope that they’d given them the slip entirely. Between the trip being almost entirely downhill, and their renewed energy, they made it back a day early. Benny was practically vibrating with his excitement and eagerness to build another spaceship, babbling out ideas as fast as they came to him.

“-and a talking computer! I’ve always wanted one of those! I should put laser turrets on it too- oh, what if we rigged some sort of EMP gun, give those sky pirates a taste of their own medicine? What do you guys think?”

“We should make it rainbow colors!” Unikitty enthused.

“I fully defer to you on this, Ben, you’re the expert on spaceships here,” Bad Cop spoke up as the others maintained exasperated silence.

“It’s gonna be my best one ever I just know it- ow!” He’d collided with Metalbeard’s back as the captain stood frozen at the tree line. “What the heck?” he complained.

Metalbeard stared out at the ocean in horror. “Me ship…!”

Of course the first thing one does when one finds oneself abruptly transformed into a cat, specifically a very fluffy red hair ragdoll breed type of kitty is to panic and immediately STREAK up the nearest tree. This in hindsight was a very bad mistake on Jonas's part because now he was stuck up a tree. All he could do was meow pitifully and cling to the branch looking down at this impossible height. He was going to be stuck up here forever, oh God he would DIE UP HE...wait who was that down there?

When he walked down the yellow brick road, I'm not plagiarizing the book of Oz, it really was made of bricks of that color, maybe a fan made it like that, the girl always sat on the wall just to get a look, but at first it didn't work out very well because he always looked down when he walked, changing direction and sometimes zigzagging, she also sat in different places every day, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, maybe to provide a better angle of vision, it was almost a year he walked and she dreamed, but one day it was different, a branch fell on the path after the rain, he dragged the obstacle and she offered to help, he accepted and murmured the number one hundred and three, they cleaned it up and walked together for the first time, it was an incredible feeling to see the two of them walking smiling and looking at each other the whole time, it seemed like the beginning of another beautiful love story, they arranged to see each other at night on the beautiful road of OOz, I'll call it that since they met after a heavy rain and the bricks yellow, she had braids like Dorothy and he was afraid to look at her like the lion had of the imaginary villain, at night he arrived with a huge bouquet and she said it was beautiful, but if he wanted to please only one person it would be enough, he said that every day he would hide waiting for her to sit down to start walking and he would count the bricks one by one and when they spoke for the first time, he would bring her the number of bricks he counted and the result was one hundred and three, she remembered the number because he had whispered, even in this love is tricky, the little road had more than five thousand bricks, it had been one hundred and three days since they saw each other for the first time and it was precisely on his birthday that the gift was made, but he did not tell her about the special date, he wanted it to be the date they became a couple, after one hundred and three days she said yes, it was positive, we are going to have a baby, do not play with destiny, nothing is by chance, if someone left your life it is because something better is coming, just walk and leave behind those who do not want to come to your side.

Bro, the Snack Pack are gonna freak the heck out once it finally hits them. Brozone seems to be a pop band of equal status of the Backstreet Boys, Jonas Brothers, or One Direction, actual legends in the making amongst the pop tribe! Them learning the grumpy, antisocial hermit they kinda just let tag along was in actuality Bitty B is a huge deal to them! Of course, some of their opinions about Brozone in general change when they learn exactly how the band broke up and what the elder brothers of the band had done, they've had time to see past Branch's walls and see the much softer and extremely adorable side he tries to to pretend he doesn't have by then, but overall it's still a huge deal to them. Especially those who were young enough to remember them or see them in concert.

I’m just imagining finding out that your neighbour who has been building secret tunnels under his house was actually Like Kevin Jonas it’s a hilarious image that I will enjoy for the next couple of minutes.

But yeah the snack pack are definitely already brozone fans they know how popular they were. They each have their own teen magazine with them most of them makes jokes later about Bitty B being their favourite member of the band in support of Branch except for Smidge who jokes “Sorry Branch Floyd is just so sensitive.” Branch at that point has accepted his fate and is like “It’s fine Smidge.”

Judith "The organizational changes were finalized at least."

Jonas "Good for you."

Judith "Took long enough. Our lawyers had to ensure that I'm not disqualified to sit on the corporation's board even if I work in an autonomous branch. I didn't want all the effort I've done here to go to waste-"

Jonas "Fabulous. When's the last time you've seen me interested in the company bullshit?"

Judith "Oh, whatever... do you think Casper's getting too old for the drawing table? Maybe he should start some proper hobby."

Jonas "Are you running out of projects or something? You need to slow down, Judi."

Judith "Mmh... I'm going to the gallery. Let Casper know I'll be back before he goes to bed, will you?"

Jonas "Yeah, just ignore me. Makes this place feel like home."

"Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree. ...Uh...what's the next line?" (From Vicky. With a Y. Since we know that now.)

"This is the worst caroling practice I've ever been a part of," Audrey remarked, shaking her head. "It's 'how heavy -- how many are your branches'?"

Actually, she was new to doing much Christmas Caroling. She knew the more popular radio songs, but that wasn't one they played often. Maybe, if Joetato Jonas or Taylor Grape had done a cover, they would have.
