“Alright, everybody. Please remember to fill out your reading log during the break,” you talked over a room full of distracted tweens excited for the upcoming Spring Break. “Am I talking to air?”

“I hear you,” Sarah answered your question as she approached your desk, her backpack slung over her shoulder. “And I wanted to apologize for last Friday. I was having a bad day and Jessie was making a big deal about me leaving the sleepover—“

“Sarah, sweetheart, you don’t need to apologize,” you assured with a kind smile. “Have you talked to Jessie?”

“Yeah, dad took me over to her house on Sunday night and we talked it out. I guess she was offended by me leaving, but I explained to her that I just get anxious sometimes and can’t—“ She sighed. “It just feels better being at home with my dad. I don’t have to try to be funny or cool or whatever.”

You smiled at the tenderness of Joel and Sarah’s bond.

“But anyways,” she continued. “My dad wanted me to ask if you were busy tonight—he still hasn’t gotten a new cellphone which, if you’re wondering, is why he’s having me act as the messenger.”

“Isn’t he coming to pick you up today?”

“No, him and Uncle Tommy are in San Antonio meeting with a developer or something like that,” she informed. “My grandma is picking me up.”

“Oh, well, you can tell your dad I’m free like always,” you chuckled and tried not to think about the fact that as today’s parking lot attendee, you’d have to come face to face with the mother of the man you’d been casually seeing for three weeks now. “Oh, and tell him he needs to get a new phone so you don’t have to play messenger anymore.”

“Trust me, we’ll probably be waiting years until he finally breaks down and gets himself one.” The two of you shared a laugh.

“In that case—“ You jotted your landline and cellphone number on a post-it note. “Here.”

“Miss? My mom wanted me to let you know that I won’t be doing any of my reading logs this week,” another student approached your desk and very sassily delivered his news. You chuckled out a scoff and fixed your attention on him while Sarah went back to her desk.

“Okay, Michael, why won’t you be doing your reading logs?” You crossed your arms over your chest and waited for his response.

“Because it’s Spring Break,” he defended.

“Yes, I’m aware. That’s why I didn’t assign any homework. All you need to do is keep reading at least a chapter a day of your book—“

“I don’t want to read my book. That’s basically homework.”

You gave him an incredulous look as you tried to gather what little patience remained in you after a long year of teaching fifth graders.

“No, Michael. Homework is what Mrs. Hill gave her students—a packet a day. What I’m asking if you is to do what you’re already supposed to be doing—reading a chapter a day of whatever book you want. That’s not homework, that’s just an activity.”

“Well, I’m not doing it.” He remained firm, mimicking your stance by crossing his arms over his chest.

The bell ringing interrupted whatever onslaught of frustration you were just about to bestow upon him, his smug smirk boiling your blood as he turned and shuffled out of class.

“Have a good break,” you called out to the rest of your students as they shuffled out of the classroom in a single file line.

“Hey,” Joel sighed out his greeting as he entered his mother and father’s ranch home on the outskirts of Austin. Sarah was sat in the living room on the floral loveseat covered in plastic while her grandfather, Paul, sat in his rocking chair fast asleep.

“How did it go?” Sarah offered him a smile as he rounded the corner of the loveseat to plop down beside her.

“Went alright,” he replied. “Got a good chunk of jobs lined up for me and the guys, so we’ll be good on work ‘til the end of the year.”

“That’s good!” She beamed, bringing a hesitant smile to her father’s face. Joel never liked to celebrate his successes—something he likely learned from his father. “Oh,” she tapped his arm as she remembered your conversation from earlier, quickly informing him about your lack of plans for tonight. “She also gave me her number to give to you.”

Joel watched as Sarah fished the note out of her pocket before handing over the crumpled up piece of paper.

“You think she’s home yet?” Joel checked his watch.

“Dunno,” she shrugged. “But grandma was talking about all of us going out for dinner tonight.”

“Oh, was she?” Joel looked disappointed by the sudden emergence of plans when he spent all day hoping that tonight would be spent just with you.

“Joel?” Mary, Joel’s mother, came walking down the stairs with a smile. “Bout time you came to see us.”

“I’m busy with the new company, ma, you know that,” he argued as he stood up to greet her, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

“Busy with the company or with your new lady friend?” she teased with a grin. Joel whipped his eyes over to his daughter who already held her hands up in defense.

“My bad.”

Joel chuckled out a scoff before turning back to his mother. “It’s new.”

“And? That’s all you gotta say about her?”

“To you. For now.” Joel followed her into the kitchen, Sarah trailing shortly behind.

“What do you think I’m gonna do? Hunt her down and force her to look at your baby book?”

“Wouldn’t be the first time,” he retorted with a mischievous smile.

“Joel Miller, I swear if you do not give me at least a summary of this woman—“

“Alright, alright,” Joel sighed and looked to Sarah who was beaming with amusement. “She’s Sarah’s teacher. We met at a parent/teacher conference. She’s…nice.”

“Nice?” Both women repeated the descriptor as if it was an insult.

“Dad, you’re basically in love. I’m sure you can find a better word than nice,” Sarah reasoned.

“She is nice. Everything else is private,” he argued.

“Well, I guess we’ll find out at dinner tonight,” his mother shrugged with a smirk. Joel turned wild in the eyes and shook his head.

“No, no, no. She ain’t—y’all aren’t—no.”

Sarah laughed at her dad’s fluster and looped her arm around his waist hug him. “It’ll be okay, pops. Just breathe.”

“Oh, to hell with that,” Joel shook his head again, turning to his mother. “I haven’t even taken her out for a real dinner yet, ma. I’m not invitin’ her out to deal with y’all.”

“Deal with? Son, we are as civilized as anybody else—“

“Ma, you got a plunger? I clogged the damn toilet!” Tommy shouted from upstairs and Joel gestured in his direction as though to prove his point.

“Well not here. We’re in the comfort of our own home,” she defended as she made her way out of the kitchen to help her son. “She’s comin’ tonight! Better go on and call her up.”

“Christ,” he sighed and stomped over to the landline, his scowl fixed on Sarah as he dialed the number. “If she never speaks to us again, it’s on you.”

“She’ll love us.”

Although it wasn’t what you were expecting for the night, Joel’s call to invite you out to dinner with his family was impossible to decline just due to how much you missed him. Even if you turned into a ball of nerves every time you had to meet “the parents”, it was worth it just to be in the same room with him, especially after the day you had.

At seven, Joel, Sarah, and Tommy came to pick you up, but for once it was you running late. You invited them inside to wait while you finished getting ready, handing Sarah the TV remote and watching as her and Tommy instantly started bickering over what to watch while Joel followed you into your bedroom.

“How is this the first time I’ve ever been in your room?” He found a seat on the foot of your bed while you sat at your vanity, finishing up on taming your hair.

“Because I’m old fashioned,” you turned back to give him a wink. “But also because I can’t seem to get you alone long enough to give you a proper tour.”

“I know,” he sighed and walked over to you, standing behind you. He leaned down to kiss your cheek, the warmth and softness of his lips curing something that had been aching inside of you since the last time he kissed you. “I made a deal with my mom. She watches Sarah this weekend, and I suck it up and allow you to meet my chaotic family.”

“Mm, so I get you all weekend is what you’re saying?” You smirked at him through the mirror.

“All. Damn. Weekend.” He kissed your neck as a promise, your eyes fluttering closed as you relished in his proximity. “No interruptions. Just me and you.”

“S-sounds good,” you stuttered through your haze of lust and Joel smiled against your skin, seemingly amused by his effect on you.

“You got chills,” he rasped, his fingertips trailing up and down your arm. “That all me?”

“Just wait until you see what else you do to me,” you purred back, earning a groan of desperation.

“You two done yet?” Tommy called out from the living room. “We got places to be.”

“Save that thought for after dinner,” Joel mumbled against your cheek as he gave you one more kiss.

Five or so minutes later and you were on your way to the restaurant, nerves now replacing the butterflies you felt in your stomach as you thought about what his parents would be like. If they were anything like Tommy, Sarah, and Joel, you had nothing to worry about, but it was the uncertainty that drove you mad.

“You alright?” Joel stayed back with you as you pretended to have forgotten something in the truck, Tommy and Sarah heading into the restaurant to meet up with Joel’s parents.

“Just nervous,” you shrugged with a soft smile. “Anything I should avoid bringing up?”

“Politics. My dad’s a big Republican, so,” he winced. “But my mom is about as liberal as they come, so at least there’s that.”

“So I should stick to talking to your mom, then,” you joked.

“Come on,” he nudged his head towards the restaurant and laced his fingers with yours. “I’ll be right there next to ya, and as soon as we’re done with dinner it’ll be just us all weekend.”

You took a deep breath of courage and gave him a cheeky but bashful smile, bringing a similar one to his own face.

“God, I just can’t help myself—“ Joel cupped your cheek and tilted your head up to meet him as he leaned in for a surprising kiss, your hand finding purchase on his wrist to ground yourself.

“Mm,” you hummed as you pulled away from him earlier than he would’ve liked. “Let’s not stall anymore. Don’t want your mom to think I’m a bad influence.”

“She knows me well enough to know I’m the bad influence, but alright,” he tugged you off towards the restaurant with your hand in his.

As the hostess guided you through the busy dining room, you leaned further into Joel. He didn’t seem to mind the clinginess, his hand letting go of yours so that he could slide an arm around your waist.

“There y’all are!” A stout woman you presumed to be Joel’s mother stood up from the table where the rest of the Millers were seated, a big, dimpled grin on her face that resembled Joel’s.

“Ma,” Joel introduced the two of you by name, his eyes fixed on you as you shook her hand and allowed her to seat you beside her rather than next to Joel like you’d hoped. You gave Joel a nervous look from across the table as he sat himself directly across from you beside his father.

“It is so nice to meet you, sweetheart,” Mary fixed her attention on you. “Joel’s been pretty tight lipped about ya, so why don’t you tell me a little about yourself.”

“Well,” you chuckled nervously, but Joel’s reassuring eyes from across the table helped calm the frenzy of anxiety coursing through your veins. “I’m a teacher, have been for a few years now but this is my second year in Austin.”

You found it surprisingly easy to talk to Mary, her warm smile and sense of humor similar to that of her children and granddaughter. You told her where you grew up, where you’d been before coming to Austin, about what you liked to do in your free time, but mostly you told her the story of how you and Joel came to be.

Across the table, his father continued to remain stern and silent, only mumbling to his boys or to Sarah every now and again to remind them to use their manners. He seemed like a tough egg to crack, and while you were up for the challenge eventually, earning his respect today seemed unlikely.

“Joel, you ever tell her about your singin’?” Tommy spoke up from down the table, his question bringing a blush to Joel’s face.

“Yeah, I mentioned it.” He looked over to you and cracked the most subtle of smirks, no doubt remembering what occurred shortly after.

“Well, you gonna sing for her?” Mary asked with mischief in her tone, bringing an amused smile to your face.

“Not here,” he sassed, tilting his head at her mockingly.

“Why not here?” You prodded with a smirk, your foot finding his calf beneath the table. Joel gave you a chuckle and shook his head. “Oh, come on. Please?”

“Ya know, I pride myself on my ability to not cave into peer pressure,” he retorted with a quirked eyebrow, daring you to challenge him. You bit your lip and looked down at your plate, too flustered by everything him to look him in the eyes—especially given the current company.

“So, Sarah, how are you likin’ the whole dad datin’ your teacher thing?” Tommy asked, and the question earned the attention of the entire table.

“I don’t mind it,” she shrugged. “Maybe I would if it was Mrs. Clarkson from last year.”

“God,” Joel shook his head at the mere idea. “That woman terrified me and I’m a grown man.”

“Oh,” Sarah called your name. “Did you tell dad about Michael?”

“Michael? Who’s…uh, who’s Michael?” Joel’s jealousy was as clear as day, bringing amused grins to almost everyone’s faces aside from the ever stoic Mr. Miller.

“Michael is my student,” you clarified and eased his concern. “A shitty student at that.”

“Oh yeah?” Tommy asked with a chuckle.

“Yeah, he’s—well, I guess I probably shouldn’t be saying this around you, Sarah.”

“I promise I won’t talk about it,” she replied earnestly and you easily caved.

“He is just the absolute worst. And his parents are even shittier,” you lamented with a laugh. “Today he came up to me while Sarah and I were talking at the end of class, and flat out told me that he wasn’t going to be doing the reading log during the break because his mom said so.”

“Why doesn’t he just fake it like everybody else?” Tommy chimed in but quickly received an elbow from his niece.

“I don’t fake my reading logs,” she corrected.

“Yeah…right.” He gave her a sarcastic nod and turned back to you. “I’m just speaking from experience. I never did any of that shit and I turned out…well, I turned out decent.”

“Yeah. Maybe I am being too demanding,” you shrugged, turning back to your plate.

“No,” Joel was quick to interject. “Don’t listen to Tommy—he couldn’t even get into community college. You’re the one who went to school for six years to do this. You know what you’re doin’, that kid’s just a prick.”

You couldn’t help but fall in love with him a little bit as he stood up for you, his foot pressed to yours beneath the table acting as a sort of promise that he’d always be here to do this—to remind you of your worth.

“Thank you,” you mouthed just to him. “Anyways, it’s his loss—and yours too, Tommy. Reading is fun.”

Tommy mimicked your smile and chuckled. “I guess I’ll take your word for it.”

“Alright, don’t give your grandma a hard time,” Joel ordered Sarah as he hugged her goodbye in the driveway outside your house.

You watched the scene from the doorway, smiling at the way he swayed her and kissed the top of her head. If only all little girls could grow up with a father like Joel—not flawless, but as close to it as a man could get. There was no denying his love for her and vice versa, and the fact that you were being let into this beautiful family felt like nothing less than an honor.

“Alright, go on,” he ruffled the top of her hair with a playful grin. “I love ya, and I’ll see you Sunday night, alright?”

“Love you too,” she gave him one more hug before turning to you standing up the walkway. With a wave, she wished you goodbye as well, your smile widening at the gesture. “See you!”

“See ya, Sarah!”

Joel met you by the front door and watched Tommy and Sarah pull out of your driveway before he turned to you with an anticipatory grin.

“Well, just us now,” he husked, playfulness thick in his southern drawl.

“Whatever will we do?” you teased, hooking your fingers in his belt loops and tugging him closer.

Joel cradled your cheek and jaw with both hands as he leaned down to kiss you, both of you still wearing your grins through it. Walking you backwards into the house, you giggled into his mouth as you nearly stumbled over before he caught you.

“Clumsy,” he accused in a rasp.

“Your fault,” you countered and he laughed against you.

Joel’s hands traveled to your hips to keep you flush against him as he kicked the front door shut, your smiles fading as the kiss deepened into something so filthy even the humor of the almost-fall couldn’t penetrate it.

“God,” he groaned against your lips as he continued walking you through the living room to your bedroom. “I want you so bad, baby girl. Fuck.”

“Remember what we were talking about earlier?” you purred against his jaw as your kisses trailed down to his neck, Joel’s body pinning you against your open bedroom door. He hummed against you in confirmation and you smiled, taking one of his hands off your waist to guide it beneath the linen of your dress, his breath ragged as his fingertip grazed over your thighs until they reached the soaked lace of your panties. “This is what you do to me, Joel.”

“Jesus fuckin—baby, I need you,” he whimpered and sunk to the floor in front of you, his dark and dreamy eyes peering up at you for permission as he lifted the hem of your dress up. “Can I taste you?”

“God, you never have to ask,” you moaned back, taking the fabric bunched in his hands and holding it for him. Joel’s eyes dropped from yours down to the image right in front of him, his tongue swiping along his bottom lip at the sight of your white lace thong.

“You’re gonna make me lose my mind, baby,” he groaned again, his hands now running up and down the outside of your thighs.

The anticipation could have killed you, your chest heaving and skin prickling with chills from the simple sensation of his breath fanning over the wet spot on your panties, the lust in his eyes. Combing your fingers through his hair, you attempted to silently urge him on and he seemed to pick up on it, his hands sliding back up to your hips to hook into the tiny band of your underwear and slip them down your legs until they were kicked off.

“Baby,” he cooed as you draped one of your knees over his broad shoulders to open yourself up to him, his mouth watering at the sight. “I’m never gonna wanna do anythin’ else but stay right—“ He placed a kiss to your mound and your entire body jerked. “Here.”

His tongue swiped through your folds and you melted against the door behind you, your fingers gripping his hair now as you struggled to stay upright. Joel practically growled at your taste, his hands gripping your thighs as if he was holding on for dear life.

“Fuck,” you moaned as he tensed his tongue to circle your swollen bud until your arousal started to drip down your thighs. “That’s so good.”

Your praise earned you another growl, his tongue now flicking and circling, lapping and sucking against you until your thighs were shaking from the pressure building in your lower stomach.

“Tastes so fuckin’ sweet, baby girl.” He sucked your clit and made you cry out his name. “Yeah, just like that. Keep sayin’ my name, baby. Let everyone know.”

“Joel, fuck!” Your orgasm was imminent, the tingling in your thighs that traveled down to your toes and back up your spine fogging any sense of coherency you may have once had in his presence. “I—fuck, I—“

“I know, baby. Can taste it.” He shook his head and flattened his tongue against your clit, his eyes meeting with yours. You wanted to cry, but the pleasure you were feeling was too consuming. The only thing you could do as Joel sucked your now throbbing bud into his mouth was to cry out his name like a prayer—some sort of wicked salvation that beat out any other holier counterpart. “Come on, baby. Cum on my tongue. Wanna taste it…every fuckin’ drop—“

“Fuck!” You crumpled to the ground, your back sliding against the door until you were kneeling with him on the floor, your body shuddering as you rode out the waves of your euphoria.

Joel was quick to act, guiding you down onto your back while you were still lost in bliss. He kissed your face as if you were his most prized possession, his hands worshipping the curves of your still-clothed body.

“Need you, baby,” he whispered against your jaw as he placed a love bite there, your head nodding to give him consent to do whatever the fuck he wanted to do to you after that mind blowing climax he just gave you.

You only heard the clinking of his belt buckle before feeling his cock stretch you open, a choked cry slipping from your lips in time with Joel’s wanton groan. You peeled your eyes open and looked down at the place you were joined, delighting in the fact that neither of you were undressed, the neediness of the moment turning you both feral.

“God damn,” he groaned and let his head hang as he stilled himself deep inside of you after only a few thrusts. “About to embarrass myself. You feel too fuckin’ good, baby.”

“Don’t worry about lasting long,” you stroked his beard. “I just wanna feel you.”

“God, I—” He choked on his words and leaned over your body, propping himself up by his elbows on either side of your head. You wrapped your legs around his waist and dug your heels into his jean-clad ass to urge him on, desperate to feel him spill inside of you.

“Want you to cum for me,” you moaned, pressing kisses into the side of his face as he buried his head in the crook of your neck. “Cum inside me—“

“Fuck,” he shouted as his cock thrust into you faster and deeper, your wetness squelching around him and filling the room along with both of your ragged moans. “I’m gonna—fuck, baby. You sure?”

“I’m on birth control, it’s okay,” you promised. Joel lifted his head to look into your eyes, his face scrunched up in something akin to agony but you were sure it couldn’t have been further from it.

“Gonna fill you up, beautiful,” he leaned down and pressed his lips against yours. “Gonna have you dripping for me.”

“Yes!” His cock was hitting something inside of you that was making you see stars, your mind going back to that pleasure-dumb state you’d just been lost in, and before you had time to warn him, your walls fluttered in time with his cock spilling inside of you. “I’m coming, Joel, fuck!”

“Me too, baby,” he choked out through a string of profanity and moans. “Fuck, so fuckin’—you’re perfect.”

The two of you stayed there for a while, both of you turned into puddles of post-climactic bliss as you laid in each other’s arms. Joel hissed as he pulled out and rolled over onto the carpet beside you, both of you turning your heads to look at each other with wide, almost childlike grins.

“Be my girlfriend?” Joel choked out, nerves thick in his shaky voice. You laid there speechless for a moment, unsure of how to tell him that ever since you met him you’d been dreaming of the day those words would leave his lips. So, you kept it simple, a smile gracing your face as you reached over to hold his face.

“I would love to.”

Spoiled Memories

Chapter two

The clicking of shoes on tile fills the halls of Smith's Grove. A young 22 year old with dull eyes follows behind Delores, learning what to do at her new job.

The hushed lunchroom made Y/N heart race; even though she knew none of the patients were paying her any attention she couldn't help but feel self conscious. 

Y/N's eyes glaze over as she mindlessly follows the older woman. Life had become dull and meaningless ever since she'd lost her brother. So she began to let her mind drift throughout the day to happier times. It had cost her a few jobs and almost a car crash once but she left more alive in her mind. 

"-ey!" 

"What were you saying?" 

"We have to go down the hall to deliver the food to the ones that have to stay in their rooms."

Nodding the girl follows behind her mentor, the hallway was pin-drop silent. "These patients are deemed as hazards or themselves..or to others." Delores's voice dropped near the end while glancing towards a door they had passed. 

Her lunch break approached rather quickly, leaving the break room Y/N began ease dropping on a conversation while grabbing a soda. 

"So how's the new girl?"      "Weird she doesn't really say anything. She just stands there silent and shit." 

Hearing enough Y/N turned on her heel and walked back into the break room. Throughout her years of being a recluse she learned not to care about anything really. 

She was here for money to find her brother. That was all she wanted ever since he went to jail and she was moved to a different foster home. 

"So have you met the boogeyman yet?" 

"Um..no I don't think I have"

Y/N's new coworker began a strange story. 

"So there was this boy in a town near here in haddonfield. And one day after the years of bullying and torment he snapped and killed his sister, a kid from his school, and his step dad. So he was brought here when he was just ten years old. His mom came to see him every week. Then he snapped again killing a nurse right after the doctor stepped out of the room. His mom tired of it all shot herself dead. And in the next room was her daughter the boogeyman's little sister Laurie. Now he rots away in his room and he smells terrible. He looks homeless and has really greasy hair."

The boy described rang an unforgotten bell in Y/N head. "What was his name?" The woman spun around a clipboard from beside her. 

Michael Myers

Y/N's heart skipped a little her golden childhood friend had murdered a bunch of people; he's now in the Sanitarium she just started working at. "I'm Isabella by the way!" "Y/N." 

"Elvis I'm home!" A beaten up looking Russian Blue cat jumped at the sound of the front door opening. "Hey honey are you hungry~" Sitting her keys down Y/N picks up her beloved pet and walks him over to the kitchen. 

The move wasn't awful since she didn't have much to unpack it only took a couple of hours. Elvis had gotten used to the new house already and even started exploring outside.

Y/N's life continues as dull as normal even with her late night runs to calm her mind before bed. Everyday seemed to be a repeat of the last. It had only been a week but it felt like a month. The shifts went by slow and her home time with Elvis went by fast.

As usual Y/N begins her day staring off into nothing while sitting in bed. A loud alarm jolts her out of her dazed state, she makes her way to the bathroom.

After doing her usual eyeliner to bring some attention to her e/c eyes instead of the ever darkening circles around her eyes.

The drive to work was the usual forty-five minutes filled with hard rock playing to keep her awake.

"Hey Isabella." Her voice was barely audible but her newly found friend understood her perfectly. "Hey hon how's it going?" The blonde sets an energy drink in front of Y/N as she drinks her own. "Since you're now working the early shift you get to meet the man, the myth, and the legend, Michael Myers and his little pal Dr. Loomis." 

Y/N rolls her eyes while chugging her drink quickly. Tears prick her eyes from the carbonation, blinking them away she stands up and follows her friend. 

"So he's the usual creep. He stares and stands there until you leave. He likes OJ and that's about all we know about him. Don't give him anything remotely sharp he has special silverware that will bend if he tries to stab anyone with it." 

Y/N bites the inner part of her lip and Isabelle picks up on her silence. "You'll be fine. The man has got to eat." She says while handing her a tray. "Him and Dr. Loomis are in there." She uses her head to motion towards two doors. 

"Go" Y/N gets pushed towards the double doors and gulps while  the guards let her inside. Not saying a word she sets Michael's tray on the table. Y/N's eyes flicker towards the huge man and her breath escapes her. She'd briefly met eyes with the man in the mask. 

"Thank you ma'am you may go. Now Michael can you look back at the picture please?" 

A heavy feeling settled in Y/N's stomach, she'd always had a knack for feeling people's stares. 

"Michael?... Michael!"

"Ma'am could you please come back here for a moment?"

[Incoming call, Saturday September 28th 1996, 10:08 am]

*distant voices and laughter in the background* *sound of multiple car engines* *beeping of a car horn* E: Dusty-Bun, is that you? D: Hey, El! E: Hold on - *beep of a button being pressed* *thudding sound of a handset hitting a wooden surface*- you're on speaker! W: *mumbled* Good morning- *stifled yawn* or afternoon or whatever D: How was the game? *sound of someone shuffling into the room* M: *far away but getting closer* You’d know if you were here, asshole!

D: It’s called work, Michael. We can’t all have weekends off. M: Yeah, right, because an all-expenses paid trip is such a slag. D: You’re just jealous! *ring of a bicycle bell* D: You’ll never guess where I’m calling from. M: If you say the toilet again, I swear- D: That was a mind-boggling experience, jackass! You should have been more appreciative! M: We’ve been using walkie’s since fifth grade, dude, pretty sure you’ve called us while taking a shit before. D: I wasn’t in another state then! We’re not even on the same continent right now and - *motorcycle in the background getting louder before receding again* W: Just tell us where you’re at, Dustin. D: Fine - I'm in front of La Sagrada Familia! M: So you’re looking at a construction site? I’m sooooo envious- D: You so are! Both of my trip and my sexy sexy mobile phone! M: We- W: Stop bickering! *the slap of skin hitting skin* M: *rustling fabric* OW! This is abuse! W: Leave me at the altar then, you baby. M: Your baby. D: *over the sound of far-away laughter* You guys are a fucking nightmare. E: I should have stayed home. M: Yeah, you should have! *sound of metal rattling* *sound of books thudding to the ground* M: EL! You can't just come into our house and -

E: Be nice to me, then! D: El, when are you getting here? E: I’m flying out tomorrow afternoon - dad’s dropping me off at the airport at 2 and I have a layover in New York. I should land around 10 am local time. *rustling of fabric* *the creaking of the springs of the couch cushions* W: *getting farther away* Stop planning your trips in front of us! M: Yeah, some of us don’t have our flights paid for by the government. And SOME of us care about our friends! *sound of books getting picked up* W: *distantly* And family! M: Yes, thank you, babe. W: *voice getting louder, closer* It’s called homecoming for a reason, Dustin! D: How many times am I going to have to apologize? M: Until you’re actually here for homecoming next year! *sound of springs squeaking as someone flops back onto the couch* D: I’ll be there at thanksgiving! You could see me next week if you wanted to! M: Yeah, but you broke the tradition! Which means the streak is broken and there'll be less pressure to come next year so someone else won’t be able to make it and it’s all ruined and it’s your fault! D: Relax; no one’s going to miss it next year. I wouldn’t have either if I’d known you were going to be such a stickler about it. W: How didn’t you know? Mike’s always this whiny about this kind of thing. *fabric rustling* D: Hey, Will, you know, I could still introduce you to my colleague Steward? Offer's always open- W: Oh no, I agree with Mike, Dusty. His bitching makes sure I don’t have to whine about it - that’s exactly why I said yes to his proposal. M: *scoff* Yeah, that’s why and not the mind-blowing- W: Mike, think very carefully about what you say next and remember that until this is legally binding I can still take Catherine and leave! M: As if Catherine would choose you! *fabric rustling* W: Fuck off. *sound of air kisses* E: Dustin, I might just call Bernard and tell him to get me an earlier flight. M: You don’t have to be here, El, you’re the one that broke in at too-fucking-early o’clock- E: Mom and dad sleep in on Saturdays! I was bored! M: And we don’t? Some of us have to wake up at six every morning to get to work! E: Oh pish posh. W: *tiredly* Mike, don’t antagonize my sister. M: Will, don’t defend my ex-girlfriend. *springs squeaking* M: Will- No wait come back- *feet hitting the ground* *running footsteps* *shuffling and clothing rustling* *giggling* E: *loud sigh* I wish Max were here already. D: *crackling connection* Where are they? *cut-off yelp in the distance* *sound of head thudding against the wall* *giggling* E: They’re still asleep upstairs.

D: Did Lucas- *sound of someone grunting as they're pushed backwards* *sound of someone jumping over a couch* *sound of springs bouncing as El yelps* M: Wait a second - *sound of handset getting picked up* *clicking of a button* Will, can you and El start on breakfast please? *muffled protest in the distance* *confused shuffling* M: Thanks, babe. E: Why can’t I just stay- W: *distantly* El, just come in here! E: *muttered* whatever, stupid men...*couch cushions shifting* D: Is she gone? M: Yeah and I’ve taken you off speaker. D: SO? M: *fabric rustling* *couch cushions shifting* Okay, Lucas got the r-i-n-g, but he’s not sure when or how yet. He’s thinking of doing it at Thanksgiving with his family, but he’s worried Max might want something more private. D: She’s going to say ‘yes’ anyway. Tell him to do it with his family around. And to stop being a coward. M: I’ll let you tell him - they’re just coming down the stairs. M: *shuffling of a phone pulled away from a face* Lucas, Dustin wants to tell you he loves you! *distant voices* *sound of phone getting handed over* L: Hey, man D: Ask her around your family and stop being a coward. Hell, why not just do it tonight? *rustling of wind* L: Love you too, Dusty-Bun. *distant voices* D: You guys really need to let that go. Even Suzy has stopped calling me that - most of the times. L: Ew, I don’t need to know that. D: You’re the one with your mind in the gutter, dude! L: Anyway, we are going to help chaperone the homecoming dance tonight. D: Seriously, all of you? That’s so lame. We used to curse the chaperones. L: Yeah, honestly we’re not happy about it either, but Mike and Will don't have a choice so they signed us up against our will as well. We’re only here for the weekend anyway - and as we’re good friends that actually want to spend time together… D: I know you all miss my beautiful face but you guys really should stop whining about it. It's unbecoming. L: *scoff* D: You can still ask Max - it would be cute! Remember the snow ball? L: Absolutely not. I’ll probably spend the entire night holding Max back from spiking the punch, anyway. Mx: *yelling from far away* If I’m going to have to spend my evening around high-schoolers AGAIN, I might as well have a little fun. And seriously these losers need it - it’s like they all have sticks up their butts all of a sudden. L: *grinning* Remember Junior prom? *loud rattling in the distance* W: *far away* EL! PUT THE PAN DOWN! E: *distantly* DON’T MENTION THAT! L: *sound of phone being lowered* *voice more distant* Oh come on, El! It was funny! W: *distantly* PUT IT DOWN! WE GOT THAT FROM MOM! L: *grazing of phone against ear* Anyway, how’s Spain? D: Great - I had a symposium this morning but I’m free-roaming this afternoon. L: That’s great dude - Oh, breakfast is almost ready. Max, you want to speak with Dustin? Mx: *closer than before* No, you know I hate that guy. *sound of fabric rustling* *giggling* *sound of a hand being slapped away* D: Love you too, Max! Mx: Stay safe, Dusty-Bun! Don’t forget my fucking magnet! D: I won’t! Where did Mike go? L: He’s playing referee in the kitchen. I’ll tell him goodbye for you. D: Thanks! Talk to you guys later! *distant chorus from the kitchen* Bye!

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H.

Storia Di Musica #319 - Black Country Communion, Black Country Communion, 2010

Il mese delle storia degli album delle band con "black" nel nome si conclude oggi. Vorrei ringraziare i suggerimenti, alcuni davvero interessanti, come Federica che mi ha suggerito i Beast Of Black (un gruppo heavy metal scandinavo che ama inserire le tastiere stile anni '80 nelle loro canzoni, e fa cover di qualsiasi cosa, persino di Michael Jackson e non solo dei Manowar), ma ho scelto per chiudere questa carrellata, necessariamente parziale e soprattutto cercando di andare oltre le scelte più ovvie (i Black Sabbath, già protagonisti di questa rubrica, o i Black Keys) un gruppo che ritengo estremamente interessante. L'ultima storia riguarda un supergruppo, che i più attenti hanno già percepito essere un'altra di quelle piccole passioni musicali personali. Questo è uno dei più recenti, e soprattutto uno tra i meglio amalgamati e capace di cose, a mio avviso, davvero notevoli. Tutto nasce quando, per una serie di concerti, Glen Hughes e Joe Bonamassa iniziano a suonare insieme nel 2009. Sono due personaggi grandiosi: Hughes, bassista, è stata una delle voci più belle degli anni '70. Iniziò con i Trapeze, prima un quintetto, poi un trio, che pubblicò nel 1970 due dischi bellissimi, Trapeze e Medusa, quest'ultimo uno dei dischi "tesoro nascosto" di quel periodo, poi nel 1973 viene chiamato a sostituire Roger Glover e Ian Gillian nei Deep Purple: è la seconda voce con David Coverdale in Burn, grandioso disco della band inglese, sebbene non venga accreditato tra gli autori per problemi legali. Continuerà nei Deep Purple fino al 1976, poi deciderà a lungo di andare a suonare un po' a piacere (i suoi anni da zingaro li ha sempre definiti), dischi solisti, cantante anche dei Black Sabbath al posto di Ozzy Osbourne e tante altre cose tra cui ricoveri, dipendenze, collaborazioni. Joe Bonamassa è uno dei più grandi chitarristi rock\blues di questa generazione, collezionista di strumenti vintage, amante del suono puro della chitarra con pochissimi effetti, fondatore e presidente della Keeping The Blues Alive Records, etichetta che permette ai giovani di avvicinarsi al genere e produce i più talentuosi giovani performer. Insieme a loro c'è il grande produttore Kevin Shirley (conosciuto come The Caveman, produttore e ingegnere del suono tra gli altri di Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Journey, Rush, gli ultimi dischi dei Led Zeppelin) che è incaricato di trovare altri musicisti per un progetto di supergruppo. Shirley chiama due suoni amici: Derek Sherinian, tastierista ex Dream Theater, che furono prodotti da Kevin, e Jason Bonham, figlio del leggendario John "Bonzo", batterista come il padre. Scelgono come nome, in questa sorta di unione anglo americana (Hughes e Bohnam sono inglese, Bonamassa e Sherinian americani) Black Country Communion, dal nome della contea delle West Midlands che si chiamana così per l'effetto dello smog provocato sia dalle miniere che dalle fabbriche che usavano il carbone per l'energia.

L'idea della band è di riprendere il suono vintage del rock anni '70 e di catapultarlo in una atmosfera contemporanea. Non sempre le individualità favolose dei singoli nei supergruppi funzionano come le aspettative vorrebbero, ma stavolta l'amalgama e la musica non lasciano dubbi: sebbene non sia un disco innovativo, Black Country Communion, che esce nel Settembre del 2010 è un disco di grande rock "classico", registrato in poco tempo, con pochi aggiustamenti, sincero, fiero e suonato alla grande. Basta l'intro di Black Country e la sua evoluzione hard rock, per capire che questo non è solo un omaggio ad uno dei periodi storici del rock, ma è la voglia di mostrarsi ancora capaci: sono tre minuti e quindici da antologia. One Last Soul, che fu il singolo di promozione, è più leggera ma prepara il terreno per una prima parte di disco stupenda: The Great Divide, Down Again, Beggarman con assolo favoloso di Bonamassa, ma soprattutto la stupenda Song Of Yesterday, che parte come uno slow blues, sale fino in cima e negli ultimi minuti sfodera una cavalcata che sa di ore passate a suonare insieme. Nella second parte, la bella No Time, la ripresa di uno dei brani che Hughes scrisse con i Trapeze, Medusa, che perde l'atmosfera folk prog della sua versione originale, diviene più muscolare e potente ma si mantiene convincente. Il disco si chiude con due brani molto particolari: Stand, che fa della complessità dei ritmi e della stratificazione degli stili (è il brano più progressive in repertorio) il suo fascino, Sista Jane è un brano in stile AC\DC e gli 11 minuti di Too Late For The Sun sono il commiato jam rock di questo disco, tra acrobazie strumentali da pelle d'oca. In tutto il disco, la voce di Hughes giganteggia, a ricordare che negli anni '70 era soprannominato The Voice of Rock, con la solidità tecnica di Bonamassa, di Bonham e di Sherinian a creare un suono che rimane convincente. Il progetto continuerà con un Black Country Communion II nel 2011, un tour in Europa, racchiuso in parte nello splendido Live Over Europe (con alcune gemme, tipo Burn dei Deep Purple, The Ballad Of John Henry di Mississippi John Hurt suonata dal solo Bonamassa, l'intro di Won't Get Fooled Again degli Who prima di Sista Jane) ma dopo Afterglow del 2012 Bonamassa si chiama fuori. Durerà poco, perchè il piacere è così tanto che già nel 2016 ritornano insieme, e proprio di questi giorni è l'uscita del loro ultimo lavoro, V, a 7 anni da BCCIV.

Questi sono i miei auguri di Pasqua. Decisamente rock.

running commentary masterpost on scene predictions/plot points that now that ive recovered and regained my composure im finally able to write it down

idk I just need to get some stuff exorcised the braincells are getting rowdy from the friction/electrical interference:

(under a cut bc a. length and b. cant not mention The spoiler)

- crowley ends up getting evicted from his flat because he's now unemployed and doesn't get to keep the perks

- ends up living out of the bentley/moving his material possessions (read: plants) around in the bentley, doesn't tell aziraphale bc idk pride? that's a sin, right? or bc it would prompt to az to offer house room but that would be making aziraphale go Too Fast?

- during all this, aziraphale has called him "there's something urgent I need to talk to you about 😭"

- so i reckon crowley has popped by the shop, lil chit chat w/e, brought along some delicious eccles cakes, and then found out about goob etc cue jump scare

- i then think (and this is entirely my head just filling in the blanks) he's actually said to aziraphale that they need to off him and just give him back to heaven, it's nothing to do with them anymore (not knowing that the goob/az/box conversation has happened ie the something terrible) and therefore aziraphale can't just yeet goob into the ether

- let's face it, communication is NOT our boys' strong suit, so this leads to a spat, crowley feeling like aziraphale is still caught up in being a proper angel, not on their side, and all leads to crowley summoning force lightning (that coincidentally hits the coffee shop with both maggie and nina inside... 👀)

- after having flounced off, crowley zoom zooms through london at night (slaloms around buses), pulls up at the bookshop

- comes to the shop, aziraphale is ignoring him reading his lil jukebox articles, and then rings the bell, "I'm back 😠" | "yes, i can see that 😒"

- im guessing aziraphale then tells him about this little jukebox mystery, and crowley offers to help him look into it, AND help him hide gabriel bc aziraphale manages to finally convey that there's a bigger issue at hand and maybe the jukebox thing is linked? "we'll do it together 😁" | "together? 😶"

- aziraphale's LARP of poirot begins

- muriel (aka baby) comes to investigate gabriel's disappearance, and turns up in the full Met Police uniform (ie from the trailer), has/looks at a cuppa with aziraphale, and then crowley arrives

- crowley apparently comes in carrying a plant (im guessing because bentley conditions are rather sub-optimal OR he needs the backseat space, and he needs to surreptitiously offload them into the shop)

- now i need to work out where crowley would have been re: "why didn't you go by train? you love trains 🙄", but im guessing he's been off having a look at stuff surrounding the jukebox mystery, because that's based in edinburgh?

- cue the clip with muriel and then where aziraphale and crowley are trying to not let muriel know that they know she's come from heaven, and then "word with you angel? in private? 🙃"

- i think this is where they surmise that she's come for gabriel, and is possibly when aziraphale then reiterates that "he's in trouble 🥺", and they need to protect him/hide from both heaven and hell because they need to work out what the something terrible is first

- they exit, find that goob has very happily been chatting with muriel for the entire duration, but he's just dusting the bookshelves and being Helpful™ so obvs he's just aziraphale 's assistant!!!! nothing fishy here!!!!!

- so muriel reports back to hq, but maybe michael and uriel cotton on? and send muriel back down to look into it further, to get between aziraphale and crowley because obviously they are together and will be weaker divided, so muriel starts doing her reconnaissance on Human Relationships (ie decides to ask nina bc that's just diligent field research)

idk that's all ive gotten so far and yeah is pretty inconsequential on its own and will only be like a small part of the storyline but i just want my thoughts memorialised so i can look back on them four weeks from now and laugh

bonus bit:

honestly pls discuss this with me im dying here

- The Kiss™ stems from aziraphale finally noticing that crowley has essentially been homeless, and grills him on why he didn't say anything, of course he could have moved in with him, he cares about him of course he was welcome, why are you wearing your glasses yada yada yada, "i didn't want to go too fast for you, i didn't want to push you", "i think by now i can keep up, crowley" and BOOM snog

edit: oh and another bit I forgot to mention:

- i highlighted that muriel is in the full Met dress above, reason being because in the promo pic of her, she's suddenly without her jacket, and just in a shirt and tie, so this would indicate she comes to the bookshop more than once?

Key: * = Reread ^ = Nonfiction ~ = Read with Empty % = Novella #= Doc book club

My goal for 2024 is for 40% of my reads to be nonfiction. I've had two years within the recent past where I managed 20% of my reads to be nonfiction, so I'm aiming to double that. THIS WILL BE HARD FOR ME! Not because I don't enjoy nonfiction but because I enjoy fiction a lot more and have a lot more practice reading it. Haha Also for me, I am in circles where I'm just going to have more awareness of fictional books that I'm likely to enjoy more so than nonfiction. I'm kind of hoping that this years journey will change that a bit too!

Okay, below the cut I'm putting the nonfiction books on my tbr, most of which I have the lovely people of Tumblr to thank for the recommendations!

I'm a little sad there aren't more memoirs, but there's plenty of time for that yet! This is already 37 books, and given lately I've been reading about 70 (nonfiction may slow me down tho), these should give me plenty of ability to reach my 40% goal. Now it's just a matter of if I do it XD

Once Upon a studio Redeluxe

(@vanessafangirl13 and mine's verson)

Author’s note: This was made for fun that we both, @vanessafangirl13 and I, wanted to write. Also, the ending with the intern was inspired by Barbie’s Rapunzel.

Notice/Warnings: stealing, chasing, food/eating, cleaning, fluff

▪▪▪

At the Roy E. Disney Animation building of the company, all the animators and workers are going home for the night.

"It's so incredible to think that Walt started Disney Animation 100 years ago today. To think of all those talented artists and wonderful characters who have been a part of the studio over the years." Said the new Disney intern.

"Yep. If these walls could talk." Burny Mattinson said as he and all the employees left. 

Little did they know that the wish would come true but not until everyone left.

A security guard was at his desk in the security room when he suddenly felt sleepy. He yawned as he laid his head down on the desk, not knowing what made him sleepy.

⭐

Mickey from his production cell of Mickey's Birthday Party begins to move, checking to see if the cost was clear.

“Psst, Tink! Tinker Bell!” Mickey began to whisper to call out to a fairy. “You there?”

Then Tinker Bell flies out of her cell and goes to Mickey’s.

“Is that it?” Mickey asked, looking around to double check before looking at Tinker Bell. “They all gone?”

Tinker Bell nods with a smile.

“Oh boy!” Mickey said in excitement. Then he and Minnie jumped out of their production cell. “Come on Minnie! This is it!”

“Let's get the gang!” Minnie Mouse said in excitement. “Yoo-hoo!”

Meanwhile in the other room, Tiana was in her production cell in her blue dress when she heard the call and gasped excitedly. "That's the signal," she said, smiling.

She picked up her blue dress and immediately rushed out of her cell.

"Alright y'all!" she said, looking at the production cells as she ran. "It's picture time!"

"That's tonight?" Pinocchio asks, coming out of his cell.

"That's now!" Tiana said, looking at him with a smile before running to a lady's room to change.

"100-year group photo and the sun's going down!" Judy said, hopping out of her cell. "Come on, let's ‘hop’ to it!"

Nick came out of the same cell as Judy started to run. "Oh, a bunny pun." Nick laughs, running after her to catch up. 

But then Louis came out of his cell playing his trumpet, almost crushing the both of them. Thankfully they got out of the way before getting crushed.

"Pew, That was close." Nick said, wiping the sweat off from his brow.

"Sorry!" Louis said to them, not wanting to hurt them.

Nick and Judy reassure him that everything is ok.

⭐

Mickey and Minnie began alerting the other Disney characters and everyone was out of their production cells.

"Picture time, guys!" Mickey said to the Bambi characters as they began getting out of their cells.

"Ok, here we come!" Thumper said, going to The Rescuers cell. "Wake up! Wake up!"

Bernard, Bianca and Oliver fly out of their cell, but make a crash landing pass Minnie, who got Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino.

"Awesome!" Rhino said, rolling in his hamster ball.

Then Peter Pan flies by and crows to them

"Oh, Peter!" Minnie Mouse said, getting his attention. "Get the folks upstairs!”

 "Aye, aye, Captain" Peter Pan said, saluting to her as he flew.

Bolt barks in excitement as he and his friends run to get to the lobby.

"Okay everybody here we go!" Peter Pan said as Wendy, John, and Michael ran to follow him.

As they fly upstairs, they pass by Sisu flying and Jim Hawkins riding on his Alpanian solar cruise.

Then Maui jumps out of his cell. "It's Maui time!" he said as he turned into a hawk and flew across the room before going to the lobby. "We're meeting in the lobby!"

"Okay! See you there!" said Aladdin who was sliding down the railing with Abu, jumps but slips and slides across Frozen's rolling rock trolls.

Coming around the corner is Vanellope Von Schweetz in her kart with Dodger in the passenger seat. 

Dodger barks happily as Vanellope drives fast.

Then coming from downstairs, Cody is going for a ride with Elliot.

"Higher! Higher!" Cody said to Elliot, laughing. Elliot smiled and did what Cody asked.

Elliot flies high passing Lanny and Wayne, waving at them.

Moana comes out from a body of water, shaking some water off of her. Then suddenly, Ocean wave splash water onto her, making her more wet and Flounder flops into her hands.

“Water.” Flounder gasped.

Moana quickly rushes to the studio cafe where  Merlin, his sugarcup, Cogsworth, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Mrs. Potts, Chip and Dr. Lucille Robinson were.

"No, no, no! There's no time for tea." Cogsworth said, trying to get the others to go to the lobby.

"Merlin! A little help?" Moana asked, still holding Founder.

Merlin notices it and begins to look around to see what could be used as a bowl. “Oh! Uh, oh, ah!” he muttered under his breath then saw  Mad Hatter’s hat.  “Oh! Chapeau's Bowlious!” the wizard casts a spell that zaps water in the Mad Hatter's hat as Moana puts Flounder in the hat.

The Mad Hatter, instead of getting angry, laughs like it was a joke. Then he looked at one of Mary Poppins’ Penguin Waiter, who was holding a Lady and the Trump’s spaghetti and meatballs “Oh, waiter, there's a carp in my cap!” Mad Hatter said as he laughed.

Moana smiled and chuckled as Flounder smiled and giggled, feeling better now being in water.

But Moana looks at herself and realizes that she was wet. “Oh, God.” Moana said, looking around for a towel. “I need to get dry and ready for the photo!”

Then Merlin chuckled, “I can help with that!”

The next thing that everyone knew was a wind blew at Moana, drying her off.

Moana was now dry and smiled. “Thanks Merlin!”

Chicken Little looked at them, beginning to get thirsty. "I need a soda, I'll get ready later.” he said, getting off from his chair and going to get a soda from a soda machine.

⭐

On the other side of the studio, Anna and Elsa walked past Stromboli as he angrily tried to get something from the studio's snack machine, shaking and yelling at the machine.

The sisters slowly started walking away from the situation.

"Yikes." Anna said, nervousness in her voice. Then she turns to her sister as they walk by Hans’ cell from the 'Love Is An Open Door’ scene. "Do you think all the villains will show up?" she asked her big sister right as Hans was about to get out of his cell. 

Elsa notices him and freezes him, knowing it’ll slow him down long enough it will work and making sure that he doesn't hurt anyone. "Not all." Elsa chuckled to reassure her sister as they continued to walk.

Hans groans from being frozen in place.

⭐

Donald Duck heads inside an elevator with Humphrey the Bear, Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore, Terk, Carl, and Mother Gothel already inside.

"Going down?" Carl asked as he stepped aside, leaving him room for Donald in the elevator.

“Thanks.” Donald said, getting on the elevator.

Before the elevator doors started to close shut, a slow voice called out, “Hold…the....elevator." The rest of the characters see Flash, slowly and speaking slowly as usual.

"Huh?" Donald Duck said then he grumbles as he holds the elevator. 

"Great! That's Sloth going to take forever to get to the elevator!" Mother Gothal said, rolling her eyes and face palming.

"Yeah, I agree." Trek said, nodding. "Next time we'll try using another elevator just to avoid him."

"Lucky, Wilbur is not in the elevator and just hanging out with some friends of his doing anything to kill time or something." Carl said to Gothel and Trek.

They know what teenagers and kids are

⭐

Penny Foster, Wilber Robinson and Hiro Hamada were enjoying each other's company at the Legend's plaza. 

The Hunchback of Notre Dame's gargoyles were on top, keeping a lookout for any humans.

"Man, after 100 years, the studio is still standing," Penny said, looking at Wilbur and Hiro.

"Yeah. But the fandoms pairing US with a bunch of other charters from different studios." Hiro exclaimed. "It's ridiculous!"

"Same!" Wibur said, "No offense to the different fandoms but I hate when they try to pair us up with some Pixar or DreamWorks. Like… Can't they just leave us alone?"

"Guys, guys, calm down." Penny said as they went to one the stairs. “It's only just for fun or for fandoms and fanfictions. Sure some are… disturbing but most of them are great.”

"Ok, then…" Wilbur and Hiro said, shrugging.

The three teens saw Spring Sprite flyinging and playing with some of the plants.

They waved at her.

Then the three teens get the same idea. 

"Race ya!" Wilbur said, running a head start. "Last one gets to buy the snacks when watching at the studio theater the next time the studio closes!"

"Hey!" Penny shouted after him, running after him.

“There's no way you can't beat me!” Hiro said, running after them.

The three teens laughed happily as they raced each other.

As the teens raced each other, Tamatoa was walking by, almost bumping into one of his legs but dodge it at the last minute.

“Sorry!” Hiro said to the huge crab before running off.

Tamatoa looked at the teens as they ran off. 

“That was weird.” Tamatoa said to himself before continuing his walk. 

⭐

Elsewhere, in a drawing room, Olaf is drawing something when Robin Williams as Lost Boy while Timon and Pumbaa walk by the animation section.

"Hey, Frosty! Shake a leg, will ya?" Timon said to Olaf, riding on Pumbaa’s back.

"The leg won't make a difference. It's all in the wrist." Olaf said to himself with a smirk.

But then suddenly, Genie surprises Olaf from the paper in a big entrance and makes Olaf fall apart

"Oi! I haven't seen a fall like that since Rome." Genie said with a laugh. Then he uses his magic to put Olaf back together.

"Oh! Much better!" Genie said, smiled.

“Thanks, Genie!” Olaf said, smiling at Genie.

⭐

Everyone started to get ready for the photo

In the men's bathroom, Prince John fixing his crown, Thomas O' Manley grooming himself, Chicken Little (who just got his soda) combing his head, Milo Thatch fixing his tie, Happy brushing his beard, the Headless Horseman straightens his coat, and Gaston looking at himself in the mirror as they all freshen up for the picture.

♪Every guy here would love to be you, Gaston!♪ He sings in the mirror.

Gaston kisses his biceps but is surprised by Cheshire Cat, who appears on his face and begins laughing.

That made most of the men laugh.

“Very funny.” Chicken Little said sarcastically as he began fixing his glasses

Minnie Mouse came in and covered her eyes. "Let's move it, gentlemen!" she said to them before she left.

"We are not naked you know." Milo corrected her, looking at where she was.

Camilo begins shape shifting and making fun of Gaston, which some of the guys thought was funny while others didn't find it funny while Gaston growl at him.

Meanwhile in the women's restroom, Ariel, combing her hair with her iconic dinglehopper (singing while brushing her hair), Megara was making sure her hair was in her signature ponytail, Fanny, fixing her eyeliner and hair, Abby was brushing and flossing her buck teeth, Esméralda fixing her blouse and blushing her hair, Isabela finishing up her dress with her flower power and Delores fixing up her lipstick and tying her hair, Mulan getting her hair done,  Duchess licking herself to be clean,  Cruella De Vil fixing her black and white hair, and Yzma complaining about her wrinkles while doing her makeup.

"No one should even see me in this state!" Yzma complaints.

Honey lemon, who was fixing up her glasses and doing her hair and makeup, began using her chemical balls to shut her mouth. "Your looks were great!" Honey lemon said, going back to fix her makeup and getting her headband on. 

"But stop complaining out loud." Gogo added, who was fixing her purple highlights.

Then the door of the restroom opened up by Goofy's son, Max, who is covering his eyes. “Alright, ladies! Let’s get a move on!” said Max to them.

"We are almost done, and please we are not half naked, We're fully clothed." Princess and the Frog's Charlotte said, fixing her makeup.

“He means the photo.” Fanny said, looking at Charlotte as she finished getting herself ready. 

⭐

At the other part of the studio, Christopher Robin, Kanga, Tigger, and Eeyore try to free Winnie the Pooh from his cell.

"Ooh! Ooh, help and bother." Winne the Pooh groaned.

As that was happening, Antonio Madrigal is seen speaking to Cinderella's bird friends, Meeko, Cri-kee,  Pascal, and  Pua.

"Uh-huh. Meet me in the lobby."  Antonio Madrigal said, before seeing Joanna about to eat  Jaq and Gus. "Don't eat those." he said, glaring at her.

Then Pluto appears and barks at Joanna, scaring her and making her run away.

Gus laughed.

"Zuz zuz." Jaq said, thanking the both of them.

"Gracias, Pluto." Antonio said before getting Jaq and Gus. 

"Are you guys alright?" He asked, gently picking the two up.

The mice nodded. 

⭐

Elsewhere near a television room, Pongo and Perdita’s puppies are watching 1940 Fantasia's "Night on Bald Mountain" sightman as MacBadger, Ratty, Mole, Ryder, Honeymaren, Sven and Kristoff walk by.

“Come on pups! You’ll get nightmares.” Kristoff said as he walked by with Sven.

Then Chernabog pops out of the TV, scaring the puppies. The puppies ran away as Chernabog got stuck in the tv.

"A little help?" Chernbog asked Ryder. He agreed and came to help him come out of the screen 

"And Chernbog, please stop popping out to scare and come on." Honeymaren said to him. “It's not halloween.”

"We are going to get to the lobby for the group photo." Ryder, added, making Chernbog get out of the screen carefully.

As Chernbog was getting help, Scrooge McDuck jumped out of the cell from Mickey's Christmas Carol with a few bags of money in his hand as the pups ran over him, making him drop his bags in the process only to be picked up by Robin Hood and Little John as they came out of their cells.

“Oo-De-Lally!” Robin Hood and Little John cheered before running off. 

Robin Hood and Little John ran past Nick and Judy at one point of their running. Robin dropped one of the bags. 

"Hey, Robin!" Nick said, picking up the bag and running after them. "You forgot the bag you stole from Mr. Scrooge."

“Oh, thank you Nick!” Robin said in appreciation.

“Nick!” Judy yelled as she chased the three.

They were followed by Todd running around with Cooper almost causing the Maiden Marian to trip and fall onto Judy.

“Um… hi?” Judy said, looking at Maiden Marian.

That is until Mama Odie uses some sort of magic to help them back on their two feet. “There you go, Sugars.” 

“Thanks, Mama Odie.” Maiden Marian and Judy said together.

⭐

Back at the elevator, Flash finally gets in the elevator.

"Thank you...for holding...the elevator." Flash said.

Donald Duck groans.

"Finally!" Gothal said. "Thought it's going to take forever!"

"Hopefully this fits all of us now. We got to close the door before-" Terk started, trying to warn the others.

Then Baymax walked over to the elevator at his medium walking speed. "I am also going to the lobby." Baymax said, squeezing in as the doors closed.

"Too late." Carl said.

"Not again!" Trek exclaimed.

"Oh, come on!" Donald Duck shouted.

The other elevator riders felt angry but felt awkward being smushed together, thanks to Baymax fluff.

"Yeah, We should take another elevator or the stairs next time." Trek said.

The others agreed.

“Like every time.” Carl said as the elevator doors closed.

⭐

Ursula was minding her business walking when she noticed she's being followed and annoyed by Strange World's Splat, who was lovestruck.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no…." Ursula said, her voice in a warning sound.

Then Cinderella, in her original silver dress, and Prince Charming hurried down the stairs only for Charming to lose his shoe, making both of them share a quick laugh before The Little Mermaid's Max the dog takes the shoe.

"Hey, Max!" Charming said, chasing after the dog.

On the other end of the hallway, Li Shang, Tarzan,  Prince Eric, Naveen, Phoebus, Roger Radcliffe, and Tadashi Hamada were talking to Ethan Clade about the lovers and fates, specifically the difference between dating a man and woman.

“So, is dating a boy in the canon then in fanfiction? Some of us are jealous." Eric said, making the other guys agree.

"Well, What can I say? It's a whole new decade, gotta keep up with the times." Ethan said with a small smile. “Even though not a lot of people like it…”

“Hey, it’ll be ok.” Tarzan reassured him.

"Plus you are biracial. Just like my voice actor." Tadashi pointed out.

Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle.

"And where's your lovely boyfriend? We would love to meet him." Naveen said, wanting to know what he looked like.

Before Ethan could say where his boyfriend was, they all jumped when they heard Charming shouting from the end of the hall, "Hey, Eric! Get your dog!” 

All eight men looked to see Charming continue chasing after Max.

“We’ll talk about it later. You go help Charming.” Ethan said, looking at the others. “I’ll introduce my boyfriend to you later. Probably at the dinner.”

The men nodded and they went their separate ways.

Eric manages to stop his dog and grabs him. "Max, spit it out.” Eric said to Max, holding the shoe in one hand while still holding his dog.

Max did as he was told, letting go of the shoe.

Eirc picked up the shoe as Charming walked over to them. “Here you go.” Eric said, handing Charming the shoe back. 

“Thanks.” Charming said, getting his shoe and getting it on his foot.

“Your dog getting into trouble again?” Tadashi asked Eric.

Eric shrugged. “You could say that.”

“Now, come on! We should go.” Naveen said, pointing to where the lobby is.

Everyone nodded and they went to the lobby.

⭐

Mickey walks by until he sees Clarabelle being hypnotized by The Jungle Book's Kaa singing ‘Trust in Me’.

"Kaa? Kaa! You-You stop that now, Kaa!" Mickey said, warning him to stop.

Tangled's Rapunzel notices as she walks with her iconic frying pan. "Don't worry, Mickey!" she reassured with a chuckle. "I got this." Then she whacks Kaa, making him knockout and getting Clarabelle out of the hypnotized state.

Mickey chuckled before he saw the painting of the creator and one of the founders of the company, Walt Disney.

Even long after his death, even though it was heartbreaking to lose his creator, Mikey still kept that spirit alive even though times were tough with a far in between. He still wanted to continue his creator's legacy.

"It's been a long ride, huh?" Mickey said to the painting, taking his hat off. "Wish you are here so you can see how much we've come. You would have been proud."

"Oh Mickey! Where are you?" Minnie Mouse called out. "We're in the lobby."

Mickey Mouse looked at where the voice came from and called back, “I’ll be there in a minute.”

Then Mickey looked back at the painting, with a happy and sad smile. “Got to go, but thanks. On with the show.” he said, waving before going.

As he left, Walt's ghost appeared for a moment with a huge smile at his creation.

“I’m proud of you.” the spirit said before fading again.

⭐

A new character, Asha from her upcoming movie; Wish, was nervous and frightened about what everybody would do to her. She was hiding in her production cell, or trying to, with Valentino, her pet goat.

"Hey, new girl! You ok?" The Little Mermaid II’s Melody, Ariel's daughter, asked, walking up to her.

Asha jumped and looked at who was talking. "What? I-um…" she started, backing away with her goat.

But instead of going away, she fell off the tree along with her goat and out of their cell.

She was never out of the production cell herself before.

Asha found she was meant to be just a picture of a drawing, not the real thing.

"Stay away, this is a restricted area!" Asha said as she tried to get back to her cell, which was not working.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! It’s ok!” Melody reassured, stopping Asha and holding her hands.

Valentino defended his owner by headbutting Melody’s leg, which didn’t faze her.

The Lady and the Tramp 2’s Scamp and Angel came to check on them just in time to see what was going on.

Scamp begins barking and calming down Valentino.

Asha felt scared.

Angel began to comfort her by nuzzling her.

"There you are! Snow told us to look for you! Everything ok?" One of the emperor's daughters from Mulan 2, Ting-Ting asked, walking over with her sisters Mei, and Su 

Asha nodded and said, “I’m just… scared.”

“Why?” Su asked.

“Just… I’m new and I… I don't know what I'm going to be called after my movie comes out. Also, Valentino and I don’t know what everybody would do or say to us.” Asha said, hugging herself.

"Hey, not everyone gets excited about the release, you and Valentino are still new and processing things." Mei said, reassuringly. “And that’s ok.”

Asha hummed and nodded in understanding. Then Asha looked at Ting-Ting and asked, “Wait… what do you mean Snow White? Sorry, I’m still new.”

"When, she's…well the first princess and first lead in Walt's first animation film back in 1937…and…She was like you once but she didn't know who she was or when she's going to be on the big screen."  Su explained.

Then Snow White came in to see what’s going on. “Hello, everyone.” she said, walking over to them.

"Oh, hey, Snow, We were just trying to get Asha ready for the photo and she’s nervous." Melody said, nodding.

Snow White nodded and looked at Asha with a soft smile.

"I'll take it from here." Snow White said to them. "You can go with Kiara, Raya, Flynn, Maximus, and Madam Mim to check the other characters and to make sure the coast is clear." 

They did as they were told and went to the characters as Asha looked at Snow White. 

“I… wow! The first princess of Walt Disney.” Asha breathed, her eyes big and wide.

Snow White chuckled softly.

"I never seen you before nori even seen your picture." Asha said in a bit of a panic. "I'm just another painting waiting to be thrown out after my film might be a failure…"

Snow White gently took Asha by the hand. "Hey, look at me." Snow White said, rubbing her hand gently.

Asha looked at her as they started to walk to the lobby.

"When I was first drawn, I didn't know at the time that the magic was about to start what the studio might become. They will already be talking about me but rumors told me I'm going to be a folly just like the short films before me." Snow said, rubbing Asha’s hand gently. "But when I was alive for the first time, I was scared and confused just like you are now. I didn't know what to do until Mickey and Oswald found me when hiding. Then they got me to Walt Disney to talk with me. He reassured me that everything will be ok, and he was right. After the news break, I was a success. I became one who always helps someone when they're new, feeling nervous for their movies and through hard times."

Asha was getting calmer as she listened to Snow White while they walked. "Really?" Asha asked, smiling.

Snow White nodded with a soft smile.

Asha begins going out the door outside of her production for the first time. She rubbed her arm and she looked around the environment.

It looks different than what she’s used to and bigger.

Asha walked with Snow White when a thought came to her mind. “Snow White, I have a question. If you don’t mind me asking.” the new princess started, looking at the first princess.

“Sure. You can ask me at any time.” Snow White said.

“How old are you?” Asha asked. “Sorry if I asked you a bad question.”

“It’s alright.” Snow White said before stopping and looking at a poster of her movie.

Asha stopped and look at her

“I am 86 years old.” Snow White said, looking at Asha.

“86?!” Asha exclaimed in shock. “But you look so… like a teen, no offense.”

Snow White nodded and giggled softly, “It’s alright.”

Asha was still in a bit of shock. “Wow! You look great for your age.” she said with a chuckle.

Snow White smiled. “Thank you.”

Asha stroked her box braided hair with her hands to calm down. 

Snow noticed it.

“Don't tell me you're still unsure.” Snow White said, looking at Asha.

“Oh! Um… I'm fine, definitely… it's just…” Asha started but stopped when she couldn’t know what to explain.

Snow had thought of an idea .

Snow looked for anyone who was going to the lobby. She saw Isabela, who was now sitting on Ferdinand as she sprinkled some flowers along with the spring Sprite, and Esmeralda nearby. 

“Oh! Isabela! Esmeralda!” Snow White called out.

“Hola!” Isabela said, greeting Snow White as Ferdinand stops so she can get off.

“Hey! Is that the new heroine?” Esmeralda said, noticing Asha and pointing at her.

Asha rubs her arm as she looks at them. 

They look different to her.

Compared to her, Asha felt like a missing puzzle piece between the two animated girls, one computer animated and one hand drawn.

Asha looked at herself to see where she landed. She was a mix of both.

Snow White knew it might take some time for her to get used to it.

Snow White begins walking to both of the girls and talking to them.

Asha looked at them. ‘They seem friendly.’ Asha thought as she walked over to them.

“So, you’re Asha, right?”  Esmeralda asked, smiling at her.

Asha nodded. “I am.”

“We heard a lot about you during your production.” Isabela said, inspecting her

“Oh? Really?” Asha asked, looking at Isabela.

“Yep. A lot of different changes.” 

“Ummm…thanks ” Asha said nervously as she began rubbing her arm.

Isabella notices the signs of nerves from Asha. “I see that you’re having the pre-movie nerves.” Isabela said with a chuckle.

“What's that?” Asha asked, even though her personality has already been written for her as idealist

“It’s where characters get nervous about their movie and themselves. Don’t worry, it's common.” Esmeralda explained, smiling and chuckling.

“Common?” Asha asked, tilting her head to the side.

“Well, all of the movie and show characters feel it.” Esmeralda said.

“But don't worry. It will melt away once you get used to this place.” Isabela reassured, smiling.

Asha nodded a bit.

Esmeralda and Isabela went to the lobby with Ferdinand.

“Was she supposed to be a sister?” Esmeralda asked Isabela.

Isabela just shrugged and hummed ‘I don’t know’.

Asha took in a breath, calming down.

"Ready?" Show White asked, pointing at the way of the lobby.

Asha looked where Snow was pointing and thought for a moment. “Yes. I am.” she said, nodding and smiled.

They went to the lobby.

Valentino began to follow them to the lobby, looking at his surroundings. He was amazed by the many different things.

Penny was excited about the photo when The Little Match Girl looks at her and blushes softly with a smile.

Penny looks back at her with a wave when Wilbur notices. “Looks like someone had an interesting somebody.” He teased Penny

“Or someone that isn't a time traveler.” Camilo joked while walking past them.

Wilbur blushed red.

 “That's definitely karma.” Lewis said as he caught up to them.

“Yep, definitely.” Hiro and Penny said together.

Wilbur rolled his eyes as they went to the lobby.

Chicken Little was with Alan-A-Dale as they walked to the lobby.

“Hey, did you know that you could walk around the concept art area and check out the other studios?” Chicken Little asked excitedly.

“Oh, really?” Alan-A-Dale asked, looking at Chicken Little and smiling softly.

“Yeah! My friends and I checked it out a few days ago! Maybe after the photo or some other time, we can go to Pixar and talk to the others or… Something.”  Chicken Little said with a chuckle.

“That sounds like a plan.” Alan-A-Dale chuckled.

Ever since they first met when Chicken Little was out of his cell for the first time, they had been pretty close as friends and talked about everything. Sometimes even talking about being anthropomorphic chickens and roosters. Aside those thing, they also talk about the other areas in the studio, just like every other cell when the studio closes.

⭐

When everyone got in the lobby, everyone started to form a line, which was getting longer by the stairs at the lobby.

Mickey flies by Dumbo.

"Coast is clear, Mick." Raya said, after checking outside for any humans along with Flynn Rider, Maximus, and Madam Mim as she opened the door.

"Great! Right this way!" Mickey said, hopping off of Dumbo and opening the door more.

Wreck it Ralph is the first to walk out but accidentally runs into a closed door.

"Oh! Ralph, are you okay?" Mickey asked, making sure that Ralph was ok.

"Never better Garfield." Ralph said as he stumbled outside and then fell over by a trash can.

“I'm surrounded by idiots.” Scar, from The Lion King, grumbled as he walked out with a few others.

Then suddenly everyone gets startled by Mr. Toad riding Aladdin's magic carpet. "Tally Ho! Wee! I'll show you the world!” Mr. Toad laughs as he rides high in the sky.

Some characters watched Mr. Toad when everyone got outside.

Then Goofy walks outside with a ladder and the camera.

“Oh great! The ladder.” said Mickey as Goofy walks with a ladder, being his clumsy self as usual.

Goofy was swinging the ladder as he walked, not noticing that he could accidentally hurt someone.

“Watch out, Ichabod!” Hiro called out to Ichabod.

Ichabod ducks his head just in time before the ladder hits his head.

When Goofy got to the spot

Goofy sets up the ladder, humming softly.

“I don't recollect if I've ever mentioned Old Reliable before." Trusty said to "He'd say, uh…"

Then Sleeping Beauty’s fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, came out and looked at the iconic sorcerer's hat that sits over the studio.

Flora noticed the hat on top of the studio. “Make it pink.” she said with a flick of her wand, turning the hat color pink.

Merryweather groaned and rolled her eyes. “Make it blue!” she said with a flick of her wand, turning it back to the original color.

"Oh, great, hear we go again." Aurora from Sleeping Beauty said, rolling her eyes with Prince Philip. “They shouldn’t agree with any shade of purple or the spots of those colors.”

“They argue about almost everything.” Prince Philip said, looking at Aurora and then at the fairies.

“They just want things to be perfect.” Aurora said, shrugging.

“You can say that again.” Isabela said, fixing her purple dress with mixed colors.

“Try being raised by a family with generational trauma.” Luisa said as she was carrying Rutt, Tuke, Maggie, Grace, Mrs. Calloway, Cyril Proudbottom, and Small One.

“Thank you.” 

“Do you think you should bring them down before the photo?” Augustine asked his middle daughter.

Asha walked, seeing the sun for the first time, and looking around. 

This was her first time outside of the studio. There's also a lot of people she has never seen before.

“Whoa.” she breathed as she looked around.

The environment looks so real to her like a dream. She looked at other Disney characters of many different art styles 2D to 3D talking with each other among themselves.

When someone isn't looking, she begins to hide, not wanting to step further and not feeling that she should be there.

With everybody finally outside, Mickey begins making sure everything is set for the photo. “Okay, everybody. Get together now.” Mickey Mouse said to everyone. 

Then he saw Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, one of Disney's first characters before him and was visiting the studio for the photo, walking over. “Oh! After you.” he said with a warm smile, letting Oswald into the group photo.

Kuzco, in llama form, got offended as Oswald gently bumped into him. “No touchy!” Kuzco exclaimed at the rabbit, not wanting to be touched at the moment.

Oswald could only do but smile and shrug it off as if to say, ‘My bad’ since he never got a voice actor, he never got to speak, only do gestures and some sign language.

“It is time.” chuckled Rafiki as he gave him the camera.

“Ah-yuck. Thank you.” Goofy said, getting the camera. He starts to climb up the unstable ladder.

“Goofy, careful!” Mickey Mouse said .

Everyone begins to have mixed looks as they watch Goofy as he begins trying to set up the camera.

The ladder became wobbly

 “All right. Now where's that timer button?” said Goofy, as he was trying to find the timer

"Oh, oh! In Three, two, one!” Iago counted

Goofy falls off the ladder and the camera is destroyed. Stitch tries to eat one piece of the camera but Lilo pulls him away.

The plan was ruined.

 “Well, that was fun!” Grumpy said sarcastically, crossing his arms.

“Yeah. Who’s idea to let goofy handle the camera?” Eugene asked. This made Rapunzel gently nudged an arm at his ribs with her elbow.

“Ow! What?” Eugene said, looking at her. Rapunzel gave him a look as Bruno said, “Not helping, Flynn.” 

“I agree.” Sisu said, nodding her head.

“Come on. Let's just get back inside.” Carl said to everyone.

“Maybe we can try it again next year.” Eeyore said in his sad tone voice.

Everyone starts to leave inside in sadness.

"Oh, no, no, no. Come back.” Mickey Mouse called out, trying to reassure them. “It-It-It'll be fine. It'll be–"

It might have seemed like the 100-year group photo wasn't gonna happen.

Then everyone stops leaving when hearing the strings of  a lute by someone. They all looked up to see Alan-A-Dale playing his lute to the song ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’, everyone had an idea as Scat Cat on his trumpet, Mirabel Madrigal on her accordion, and Junior with his trunk.

Everyone began to sing ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’.

“Anything your heart desires,” Belle started as Beast held her hand. “Will come to you.” They both sang together.

“I knew this was gonna happen…” Hades groans, rubbing his forehead.

“Let it go, Hades.” Elsa said with a smile.

“If your heart is in your dream,” Quasimodo sings with the gargoyles on top of the sign.

“No request is too extreme.” Pocahontas sang to the animals around her.

“When you wish up-” Ariel starts to sing.

Then Scuttles sings “WAH WAH WAH!!!” off key until his mouth is closed by Baloo, who makes him quiet.

“As dreamers do.” Baloo and Mowgli sang as Baloo  held Mowgli.

Everyone cheered up as they decided to help by Magical Brooms sweep up the broken camera and Fix-It Felix uses his hammer to fully repair it back to its original state, then Hercules puts back the ladder as Fairy Godmother floats Goofy to the top as he sets the timer.

"Fate is kind. She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing." Everyone sang as they got back to their places.

Asha, who was watching it all, eventually found the strength to stay. She remembers some people that go by her cell, singing that song.

Snow White begins holding Mulan's hand and pulling Asha into the song. “Like a bolt out of the blue,” the three sang together.

“Fate steps in and sees you through.” Winnie the Pooh sang as Tigger jumped onto him.

“When you wish upon a star,” Jiminy Cricket sang on Mickey's hand.

“Your dreams... come... true!” Everyone sang and posed for the photo.

Tinker Bell waves her wand to reveal the picture.

Everyone looked at the photo and were in awe, with the words: Disney 100, 'To all who have imagined with us, laughed with us, and dreamed with us. Thank You'

They all smiled at it.

"All right then, everyone, let's get back inside." Daisy said to everyone. “Let’s get some dinner.”

Everyone agreed as they began heading inside.

Mickey was the last one to go inside. Before he went inside, Mickey turned around and looked at the first beautiful star appearing in the sky as the sun set.

“We did it.” Mickey said, feeling his creator's present there.

⭐

After everyone went back inside it was just in time to have dinner. Everyone started to gather in the dining room. 

Everyone talked with each other as everyone headed to the dining room.

Hercules was talking with Kuzco, who was still a llama. “You know, our movies are somewhat similar.” Hercules said, looking at the ‘llama’.

“What? No way!” Kuzco said, rolling his eyes.

“Ok, listen to me when I say things that are in our movies.” Hercules said, going to the side of the hallway with Kuzco before starting to list the things. “Pink potions, big adventure/distance, a lot of betrayal, the villain wants the main character dead, the villain thinks that the main character is dead for a bit, and changes, both mentally and physically!”

“Ok! Ok! I see your point!” Kuzco exclaimed with a chuckle.

“But you forgot to add on something like high treason and usurping of the throne.” Jim said, passing by them.

Kuzco and Hercules nodded to him. “Right, thank you, Jim.”

Before Hercules and Kuzco start to go to the dining room, Yzma walks over to them.

“Excuse me, Hercules!” Yzma calls out, almost out of breath.

Hercules and Kuzco looked at her when she got to them. Kuzco had a ‘seriously?’ look on his face while Hercules had a bit of a curious look.

“Yes?” Hercules asked, facing her.

Yzma took a bit of a breather before making herself perstentable. “I was wondering if you could help me get an appointment with Hades.” Yzma said, her hands together as she smiled at Hercules.

Hercules was caught off guard by that. “Uh… I don’t think I’m allowed to help you with appointments with Hades.” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I think you need to talk with Pain and Panic about that or talk to Hades yourself.”

Yzma hummed, nodding. “I see.”

“But what do you need from him anyway?” Hercules asked, curious.

“It’s just for me and him to know.” Yzma said, pointing at herself and pointing to the side.

“Please talk to Hades himself on the other row of the crowd.” Kuzco said, rubbing his forehead. “And could I get the human potion please? I'm already done being a llama for the day.”

Yzma rolled her eyes as she gave him a pink potion before going to Hades.

Hercules looked at Kuzco as the ‘llama’ drank the pink potion, turning him back to human.

Kuzco was finally back to being human. 

“Oh it feels good to be human!” Kuzco exclaimed, hugging himself.

Hercules couldn’t help but chuckle, “You know, you are very committed. With you changing back and forth from llama to human.”

“Well, most people remember me as the llama and I was a llama for most of the film. Even though Tina and Naveen were frogs for most of their film, yet they don’t do the same thing as me. Maybe because the spell in their film is more permanent while in mine there’s an antidote/potion that can change me back." Kuzco said as they started to walk into the dining room.

“Good point.” Hercules said, nodding to him.

“Remember we have to be back into cells before the studio opens in the morning.” Minnie Mouse said to everyone when all were in the dining room.

⭐

The dining rooms started changing into a big one table to fit every single character and the seats were assigned to them.

As each of the characters begin to be seated and talking to each other, Tiana and the other chefs were cooking together to make big meals in the kitchen.

Doc was teaching one of the newcomers, Wish’s Dahlia to cook.

"Thank you for the help, Dahlia. We really appreciate newcomers." Tiana said, getting the additional ingredients for the gumbo.

Dahlia nodded with a smile and said, “No problem, Tiana.”

Meanwhile, at the dining room everyone begins taking their seats.

Camilo was saving some seats as he looked for his friends. He smiles when he sees them. "Hey, guys, I'm here!" Camilo said, waving his hand for Hiro, Penny, Wilbur and Lewis.

“Hi Camilo!” Hiro, Penny, Wilbur and Lewis exclaimed excitedly as they went to him. They still had the flower crowns that were given from the Spring Sprite.

"Thanks for saving us the seats." Hiro said as they got into their seats.

"Anytime, amigos!" Camilo said, smiling at them.

"Wow, we all thought the picture could be a disaster but luckily a song got there in time." Lewis said.

"Yeah." Hiro, Penny, and Wilbur said.

They all talked about their adventures before the photo.

Ethan, with Diazo, walked over to Shang, Tarzan, Eric, Naveen, Phoebus, Roger, and Tadashi, who were talking with each other before going to their seats.

"Hey, guys." Ethan said, waving to get their attention while holding Diazo’s hand.

The others looked over to look at them and smiled.

“This Diazo. My boyfriend.” Ethan introduces with a soft smile.  "Diazo, these are the guys that I was talking about."

Diazo nodded and smiled at the grown up. "Hey, nice to meet you all." Diazo said, offering his hand to them.

"Nice to meet you." Tadashi said, shaking his hand. "Ethan told us about you." 

“Oh really?” Diazo asked with a smile.

They began to sit down at a table as they talked more.

The parents and guardians figures, including the ones with pets from their films, in a space next to the table for them to eat and they all began taking their seats.

“Finally, we can eat.” Kala said, smiling softly.

“Yeah, after a photo, it is good to eat.” Nani, Lilo's big sister, said, sitting in a seat.

“Can't wait to start.” Aunt Cass said, came with some of the food.

“Yeah, thanks, Cass.” Chicha said.

Then Raya's father, Chief Benja came with Sakina, a newcomer also from Wish and Asha’s mother, and they both looked around for a seat. “Parents, I would like you to meet the newcomer, Sakina.” Benja introduced parents and guardians to Sakina.

Searcher Clade and Meridian Clade looked over with a smile. 

“Hello Sakina.” Meridian said, waving at her.

“Nice to meet you.” Searcher said, nodding to her.

Sakina waved a bit at everyone.

“Don't worry. Us parents get nervous all the first time but you get used to it once you feel comfortable here.” Sarah Hawkins said as she got settled after getting drinks.

Sakina nodded, still nervous.

“Please, sit.” Queen Arianna, Rapunzel’s mother, said, patting an empty seat. “We got your seat ready.”

Sakina nodded and slowly sat down on the seat. “Thank you.”

“It's an honor to meet another parent of the heroine.” said Kirby.

Sakina nodded and smiled. “Uh- it’s nice to meet you all too.” 

“Well then we should get to know each other.” said Gepetto, looking at the parents.

The other parents nodded in agreement.

“First off. What's the deal with those live action remakes?” Mufasa asked.

“Well, I think it’s just trying to retell the story again. Even though the message isn’t clear.” Melvin said. “Causes a lot of money and it does not always go well.”

“But at least there are some that manage to do things right.” Arianna said with a shrug.

“But don’t forget some are horrible!” Buck exclaimed, standing up. “Like sure! Some are… good at times. But sometimes it’s just bad.”

The grown ups stared at Buck.

“Ummm…Buck? Aren't you the one who didn't listen to his son in the first place?” Fi Zhou said, changing the subject as he sipped his tea.

All of the parents looked at Buck, who got quiet and sat down.

“Look it's the directors fault that they couldn't get the right idea and then change it and start from scratch at the last minute!” Buck said, rubbing the back of his head.

“Yeah I could totally relate.” Pacha said, “My directors already have the whole Kingdom Of The Sun movie in plan. It was meant to be a beauty meant to be a parody of the prince and the pauper and a musical until some executives wanted to change it at the last minute!”

“At least it went well. Right?” Sakina asked, looking at Pacha.

Pacha began thinking, through not wanting to get her nervous even more, then he nodded. “Yeah, you could say that.”

Sakina hummed and nodded.

The parent/guardian figures continued to talk.

“Well, we can't wait to see how your daughter will do in the upcoming film.” Encanto's Pepa said to Sakina at one point.

“She’s excited and nervous. I am as well.” Sakina said with a nervous chuckle. “Actually, all characters in the film are.”

“Trust us, we all felt that way from our first times.” said King Agnarr, smiling softly.

Sakina smiled and talked with the parents/guardians.

⭐

“I have one question, is that ok?” Asha asked, looking at Snow White. 

Snow White nodded. “Go ahead.”

“Ok…” Asha breathed, calming down and began to ask, “Does everything in the studio come to life after the doors are closed?”

Snow White thought for a moment and then nodded as they walked to a table. “Yes, we all need to stretch and move around a bit after staying still all day.” she said, smiling softly. “Also to see what’s going on in the world.”

“Really?” Asha said, amazed.

Mickey and Minnie nodded as they walked. 

“The world has changed a lot.” Mickey said with a sigh.

“How?” Asha asked, tilting her head to the side.

“Well, back in the day, my friends and I looked different. More of a black and white cartoony look.” Mickey explains.

“Yeah, the long way to where we are now.” Mulan chuckled as she stopped to talk to them.

Minnie nodded.

Asha hummed and looked at The Mad Matter and Tallulah Robinson were enjoying some tea and chatting about fashion trends of their day.

“Come on, You didn't have to see the elastic waist dresses and curly hair in my day when the film was released.” The Mad Matter said. “Then through the release of the '60s and '70s where they were on drugs or something. But hey, bell bottom pants were cool.”

“At least it wasn't like the low rise jeans, customized converse sneakers and the fake tans of my day.” Tallulah said, referring to 2007.

The Mad Hatter nodded and held up a cup, asking, “More tea?”

“Yes, please.” Tallulah said, nodding.

Asha hummed, while having no idea of what they were talking about, and then followed Snow White, Mickey, and Minnie to a table and sat down.

“Are you okay?” Snow asked.

“Yeah. I’m just trying to understand what everyone is talking about.” Asha said, nodding.

“Well, it would be a good opportunity to get to know each of them.” Minnie said, “plus  your own friends are already here already.” She pointed at her friends coming out of the kitchen, who waved at her.

Asha chuckled and waved back.

“Yeah, but now I have more questions right now. Like… how did they come to life, like literally out of the picture?!” Asha asked, in curiosity.

They were shock and surprised about the question

They all looked at each other before looking at her.

“What’s wrong?” Asha asked, worried that she said something wrong.

“You did nothing wrong.” Minnie reassured 

Micky took a deep breath and said, “Well, we all come to life by our creators’ care and love.”

“Really?!” Asha asked excitedly.

Mickey nodded with a smile.

⭐

The food was finally ready and each of the foods from each of their films were placed at the table along with the drinks.

“Everyone! Dig in!” Tiana said to everyone, smiling at everyone. 

The food finally arrived and everyone started to eat.

The other cooks began sitting down at the seats after serving.

Everyone talked with each other as all ate.

“So, what do you think of this Mr. New “REAL” villain, King Magnífico?” Maleficent asked sarcastically to the other villains, sipping her drink.

“He’s a bit different than we are used to.” Honest John said before eating a chicken leg.

“He is supposed to be a mix of some of us.” Gaston said before sipping a drink and eating a turkey leg.

“The difference is that he’s married- well most of us are single.” Gothal added, looking at the Evil Queen.

The Evil Queen had a glare at her for a moment before smiling a bit. “Thank you.” she said flatley at the comment.

“Narcissist.” Tarzan's Clinton said to the other villains next to him.

“I mean it would be cool to have a sorcerer as a villain, No offense, Jafar, Morgana, The Horned King, Dr. Facilier, Madam Mim, or…” Bellwether said, looking at the other villains. Then she looked at Ursula as she tried to remember her name.

Ursula looks at the sheep with a deadpan look. “Ursula. My name is Ursula.” the sea witch said with a dark chuckle.

“Right…” Bellwether chuckled nervously. “I forgot.” 

“It’s alright.” Ursula reassured, picking up a carrot and biting into it.

⭐

“I can't wait to eat!” Melody said with Arthur, looking at the food on the table.

“Yeah, I'm going to grab a turkey leg!” Arthur said, grabbing a leg.

“Same!” Melody said, getting a turkey leg.

Asha was finding which food she had to try first.

She never had dinner with the others before and was amazed by the different foods.

She tried the Spanish Puffs and it was nice. “This is good!” Asha said. “Who made it?”

“I did!” Kronk said proudly as he walked by with another plate of Spanish Puffs.

Asha looked up at him with a smile. “You did? Wow! You made these very good!”

“Thank you!” Kronk said before going to his seat.

⭐

Everyone had a good time at dinner.

Everything was calm.

Melody had a pretty good idea of how to spice things up. She threw one meatball off the spaghetti to Fred, who was talking with Wassabi to signal the plan. He excused himself and went to Melody.

“Hey, what’s up?” Fred asked when he got to her.

Melody got out of her seat and whispered something into Fred's ear.

He smiled and nodded at the plan, grabbing a beignet.

“Food fight!” Fred chatted before throwing the beignet to Wilber, who dodged it in time. 

It instead hit Asha.

“Hey!” Asha laughed before throwing the Spinach puff at Fred. Which got everyone starting a fun food fight.

“Oh-Ho you're on!” Hiro said, grabbing a rice bowl and began throwing it towards Kuzco.

Everyone started to laugh as they continued to do the food fight.

Mickey was ducking cover as food began throwing left and right, seeing that the entire room and even themselves were a mess covering food.

Then the brooms from The Sorcerer's Apprentice entered the dining room.

Everyone stops and looks at the brooms.

The brooms crossed their arms across their stick chests and had their heads a bit forward, showing that they were mad.

Everyone began to put food that they were holding down on plates.

The brooms sighed and went to get cleaning stuff.

“Now, Who started it?” Donald asks angrily at everyone.

Melody chuckled nervously as she raised her hand along with Fred. “Look, it was just for fun…” she said.

Everyone did look at each other and managed to calm down. 

It was for fun. 

After all, it was sometimes rare or sometimes common to start these types of food fights for the rest of the characters.

While they got out of the dining room to get cleaned up, the brooms started to clean the dining room.

Everyone was already in a mess covered with food and drinks.

They each began to clean themselves up with some help from the magic from each of the fairies, witches  and wizards and sorcerers. Even some with technology.

Mickey smiled when everyone was cleaned again. 

Ariel begins scolding her daughter for starting the food fight while Fred was being scolded by some of his friends.

Asha looked at everyone and began socializing with them, having a great time.

But then the Spring Sprite started blooming a ton of flower crowns for everyone.

The Little Match Girl began laughing as her flower crown floated onto her head.

Everyone noticed the flower crowns floating down to them.

“Why is that for?” Penny asked, looking at the sprite.

The Spring Sprite smiled and started to write on the wall in flowers. When The Sprite was done, the writing spelled out “For the 100 years”

“Yeah, I think we definitely deserve them, which reminds me we should take another photo with the crowns next time.” Minnie said with a smile.

“Why not right now?” Asha asked, walking over to Minnie and Mickey.

Everyone all looked at each other, all thinking she might have a good idea.

“Alright everyone!” Mickey said to everyone, smiling softly.

Everyone got into their places just like for the photo earlier, just inside and everyone wearing the crowns and the flowers spelling. And this time they were doing different poses unlike the ones in the photo, along with the direct-to-video.

Tinkerbell got the camera ready with her fairy friends.

Everyone poses and smiles at the camera as the camera takes a photo.

⭐

Everyone started having some fun, even hosted a big sleepover and even hung out all throughout the night. That is until Max and Cinderella's mice came to alert them.

“Guys! It's going to be 5 minutes until the studio opens.” Max alerted everyone.

“We gotta get back to our respective cells!” Mickey exclaimed to everyone.

Everyone quickly said their ‘goodbyes’ and ‘see you later’ and then they got back in their cells before the security guard woke up.

Tinkerbell went to the security room and flew to the screens. Then she waved her wand, changing what the cameras got from the many characters' adventures to just empty hallways and everything reminding the same.

When she was done changing the footage, she smiled as flew out of the security room and into her cell.

⭐

The security guard yawned and stretched his arms as he woke up. He looked at the cameras, checking them.

“At least no one tries to steal or even make noise in the studio.” the security guard said to himself.

The doors begin to open and all the workers begin to go in. The new intern took a deep breath and went inside

“Good morning.” said Burny Mattinson to the new Disney intern, smiling softly at her.

“Good morning.” the new intern said to Burny Mattinson, smiling back.

The two talked about how their morning was going as they went to their animation sections.

“Good luck on Wish.” Burny Mattinson said to the new intern before going to his animation section.

“Thank you.” the new intern said, smiling.

The new Disney intern went to the animation section for Wish. 

The new intern picked up a pen looking at the beginning to add the finishing touches, on a piece of paper, feeling it with magic sparkles, hoping to inspire the next generation and continue bringing stories to life.

☆The End☆

[thinkingbells]

atenção, atenção, quem vem lá? ah, é tinker bell, da história peter pan! todo mundo te conhece… como não conhecer?! se gostam, aí é outra coisa! vamos meter um papo reto aqui: as coisas ficaram complicadas para você, né? você estava vivendo tranquilamente (eu acho…) depois do seu felizes para sempre, você tinha até começado um novo projeto misterioso… e aí, do nada, um monte de gente estranha caiu do céu para atrapalhar a sua vida! olha, eu espero que nada de ruim aconteça, porque por mais que você seja falante, você é teimosa, e é o que merlin diz por aí: precisamos manter a integridade da sua história! pelo menos, você pode aproveitar a sua estadia no reino dos perdidos fazendo o que você gosta: tomar conta da sua loja.

o personagem é dono ou cuida de algum lugar no reino dos perdidos? por um reflexo do gosto de recolher uma par de tesouros perdidos, tinker bell se tornou proprietária da lost things antiques, uma loja de antiguidades localizada no coração do reino das histórias. apesar do nome loja de antiguidades, pode-se dizer que a lost things funciona como um brechó, afinal, o que é o lixo de uns é o tesouro de outros! na lost things você pode encontrar os mais diversos itens que um dia pertenceram aos heróis e vilões de algumas das nossas histórias favoritas, incluindo alguns bem raros! afinal, onde você encontraria um pirulito meio mordido da casa da bruxa dos doces? ou o caixão que os anões arranjaram pra branca de neve quando juraram que ela tava mortinha da silva? não conta pra mérida, mas aqui nós também temos um arco velho dela que conseguimos usando métodos, digamos… não muito convencionais! os itens da loja de tinker bell são protegidos com uma magia que os deixam livres das alterações e degradações causadas pela passagem do tempo. felizmente, ele também serve para deixar as formigas bem, bem longe! um último recado: não se engane, nem todos os itens da loja de tinker bell realmente foram perdidos.

como está a posição dele em relação aos perdidos? odiou ou amou? dizer que tinker estar feliz com os recém-chegados seria um baita de um exagero! ora, não bastava ter que lidar com john, michael e wendy darling que vieram só dar uma passadinha na terra do nunca e ficaram por lá, agora teria que lidar com mais um darling? peraí, né? tudo tem limites! as novas adições lhe deixaram imensamente satisfeita, principalmente quando chegou ao seu conhecimento que o novo rumo que seu conto terminaria com sua rainha tendo as asas mutiladas e exibidas como espólios.

Chuck Berry

On this day in 1958 Chuck Berry recorded "Johnny B. Goode".

Arguably Berry's greatest artistic triumph and one of the most widely known rock songs in the history of the genre. Vocally, the song is delivered with the same breathless urgency as “Maybellene,” with Berry only pausing for breath at the end of each lengthy line. The song's three verses spin a thinly disguised autobiographical tale about a “country boy” from “close to New Orleans” who could “play a guitar like ringing a bell,” itself perhaps a reference to the guitar introduction to “School Day,” which was intended to mimic a school bell. According to Berry, the “‘Johnny’ in the song is more or less myself”; certainly, the third verse, inspired according to Berry by his own mother's prediction about his musical career, is Berry's story set to music. And, in case we miss the autobiographical point, Berry adds the extra “e” to the protagonist's name to remind his listeners of the street in St. Louis where he was born. The song also had another meaning for Berry and Johnnie Johnson. Berry has admitted that the he “wrote it intending it to be a song for Johnnie Johnson,” as the title, according to the pianist, came from when we used to tour….

A lot of times after we'd get finished with a show, I'd go out to the clubs and sit in with the local groups…. The problem was, we had a schedule to keep, and I'd get caught up playin' and drinkin'. By the time I finally dragged on in, the rest of the bands would be gone! A couple of times I had to call Chess and have them wire me some money so I could get on a bus and catch up with them. I'd get there just in time for the show and Chuck would be shakin' his head askin' me, “Why can't you just be good, Johnnie? Stay with us.”

RUMORS• e. munson

masterlist

chapter 1

November, 1984

     Everyone knew that Ziggy Zigova was going to be valedictorian in the same way that everyone knew Steve Harrington was going to be Prom King. It was just the way things were.

     In a way, it could be said that there were three corners of Hawkins High School on a social level. In one corner was King Steve. He was held on a pedestal that only a select few could touch. Everyone pretended to love him, but deep down, most of the cliques that didn't mingle with him had a mild hatred for him.

     In the next corner was Eddie Munson. He held the schools 'freak' title and he seemed to enjoy it. Everyone loved to hate him and the few that didn't would never show it. He had his own little clique and only the kids who were perceived as bottom of the barrel joined.

     Finally, Ziggy held the third corner. She was smart. Everyone knew it. They didn't dislike her but they also didn't praise her in the way that she quite frankly deserved. She was the girl to go to when you needed a partner for a lab or to proofread your essay. However, her social interactions rarely went beyond that. If it wasn't academic, she really only talked to her brother. In a way, she was the middle ground.

     "I'm telling you, Ziggy; Freddy Krueger would tear Michael Meyers to shreds...literally." Adrian squaked as he walked next to his sister. Her short stature made her seem to disappear in the sea of students, but Adrian stood at nearly six feet, so he found it fairly easy to squeeze by.

     "Bullshit." Ziggy scoffed with furrowed brows. She and Adrian enjoyed debates like these; Adrian thrived off of pop culture and Ziggy was a wonderful debater.

     "'Bullshit'? What do you mean 'bullshit'?"

     "I mean there's no fucking way that Freddy could even touch Michael."

     "Oh yeah, wiseass? I think his knife fingers beg to differ. One slap and that onesie little Mikey wears is done for."

     "Adrian, when's the last time you saw Michael Meyers take a nap? The freak doesn't even sleep. They wouldn't even be able to interact." Ziggy stopped in front of her sixth period with Adrian trailing behind her.

     "Well, if that's the case, Michael couldn't beat him either. We tie."

     "Nuh uh. No way. I never said Michael would beat Freddy, I said there was no way Freddy could beat Michael." Ziggy shrugged with a cocky smile before turning into her next class, leaving her brother in the doorway.

     "So you win on a technicality; that's just barely winning." He whined before walking away with his head held low.

     Ziggy took her usual seat in the middle of the row next to the left wall of the classroom. She noticed there was a conversation being held at the front of the classroom, but when she sat down and got settled in her desk, she looked up to find Eddie Munson in all his metal head glory. Once he sat in his spot at the back of the classroom she brushed it off for the remainder of the class period. It was only when the bell had rung and her teacher called her up to the front to talk that their conversation had relevance.

-

Ziggy chose not to mingle with her peers, but that didn't mean she didn't know any of them. Even if she didn't know most, she would have to be blind, deaf, and non-anglophone to not know Eddie.

She didn't care much for the rumors she had heard, she simply thought he was stupid and lazy.

"Eddie Munson? You- you're really gonna tutor him? Willingly?" Adrian had stopped chewing mid French fry when he heard his sisters news.

"Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I?" Ziggy shrugged, not understanding what the big deal was.

"Why w- Ziggy, why would you wanna tutor him? This is his second time taking senior year, for christs sake." Adrian was hunched over the table with wide eyes and greasy fingers.

"Exactly; no one wants to fail twice. He's already taken the class once, so he'll be familiar with the material." Ziggy kept her head low as she worked on her homework. She liked doing her homework at lunch so she could have her lunch at home.

"No one wants to fail once, either. I really don't see what you have to gain from this." Adrian remembered having multiple conversations about Ziggy's distaste for the Hellfire boy. He was more confused than anything.

"Okay then, I'll lay it out for you. We're almost half way done with the semester. If I tutor Eddie until our marking period, I'll have more than enough community service hours for the whole year. Then I can focus on my own schoolwork and secure my place as Valedictorian. Easy peasy. I'd be stupid not to tutor him." Ziggy had tossed her pencil down on the table and stared at her brother blankly while he mirrored her.

"Okay then, when do you start?" Adrian grinned as his sisters face faltered ever so slightly. Her brows furrowed with a small frown.

"I don't know, actually. I haven't even agreed yet." Adrian's eyes slowly shifted to focus on the boy at hand stood across the room at his friends table.

"Well if I were you, I'd get it over with before he gets too riled up." As if Adrian could see the future, Eddie began his usual show of yelling and jumping around to entertain his friends.

Ziggy spun around in her seat with wide eyes. Upon seeing Eddie's theatrics, she scrambled to gather her things. Everyone knew that once Eddie got on a roll, it was useless to try to mellow him out.

While Eddie knew Mr Miller was looking to assign him a tutor, he had no idea who that tutor would be nor when said tutoring would begin. Ziggy wasn't sure what he knew or how he felt and if she was going to be the one to break the news, she wanted it to be before he went on one of his tirades.

She hurriedly walked through the lunchroom with her bag half off her shoulder. Her messy hair blew slightly in her face; a strand getting stuck in her eyelashes from the ever so slight breeze in the lunchroom caused by the bustling teens. As she neared the table she dreaded to approach, the man of the hour stood on his chair, extending his arms dramatically. It was only when she stopped to stand about four feet away from him that she made out what he was saying.

"Then it hits October first and suddenly, our little ghouls and goblins aren't so taboo! It's only okay to be a freak when ev-"

"Excuse me!" After clearing her throat roughly three times to ensure her voice wouldn't crack or waver, Ziggy cut Eddie off in the most professional manner she could.

Eddie abruptly stopped talking. His hands were still outstretched lazily as his head whipped over to look down at the short girl. His brows furrowed in complete confusion as his lips remained slightly parted. Slowly, his arms began to lower back to his sides. When Ziggy continued to stare up at him with wide eyes, Eddie looked her up and down before verbally acknowledging her.

"Yeah?" Eddie's response wasn't snippy or rude, simply confused. Ziggy cleared her throat again as she shifted on her feet.

"I'm Ziggy. We have English together." She projected so he could hear. Eddie stepped down from his chair to stand in front of her; still looking down slightly at their half-foot height difference. He glanced around the room as if it would give him a clue as to why she was talking to him.

"Alright...what's up?" A small, awkward grin sat on his lips at the uncomfortable interaction. Ziggy's hand tightened around her bag strap as she pulled it higher on her shoulder.

"Mr Miller wanted me to talk to you." She rushed the words out of her mouth, ending with a tight lipped smile in hopes he would get the point. Eddie's eyebrows raised slightly as he inhaled deeply. He frantically looked around in an attempt at preventing eye contact, slightly running his hands over his jeans.

"Yeah, we should- we should probably go do that." He quickly grabbed his bag, leading the way out of the cafeteria after telling his friends goodbye.

"We can go to the Hellfire room; no one ever goes in there." He wouldn't admit it, but when someone new started talking to Eddie, which was rare, he'd look for any excuse to take them to the Hellfire room in hopes of impressing them. He held the door open for Ziggy, giving her a playful bow as she walked in. Ziggy decided to stay standing as Eddie took a seat on his throne.

"So, I'm not sure how much Miller told you but I'm gonna tutor you for the rest of the semester. I'll help you with English, but if we finish your assignments early and have extra time, I wouldn't mind helping you with other class work. We will meet for three hours a d-"

"Woah woah woah, hold on. What are you- don't I get a say in this?" Eddie's waved his right hand in the air while his left elbow rested on his knee at his chest. Ziggy stared back at him blankly for a few seconds.

"No."

"What do you mean 'no' ? I'm the one being tutored here."

"And I'm the one tutoring you. I have a busy schedule; school, homework, chores, a job. I mapped out a whole plan that works around my schedule." Ziggy carefully pulled out a folder and carefully placed it on the table. Eddie looked up at her in disbelief.

"Okay, that's neat and all but I just so happen to have a schedule of my own; planning campaigns, Hellfire meetings, band practice-"

"You just listed three leisure activities." Ziggy's brow raised in disbelief. Eddie narrowed his eyes at her in annoyance.

"And what about it?" Eddie pushed himself up and out of his throne coming toe to toe with Ziggy.

"You have two months to raise your grade to a D. Otherwise, you're looking at a super senior Hattrick. I am more than willing to tutor you, mister Munson, but I have a lot on my plate. All I ask is that you cooperate with me." Ziggy looked up at Eddie with a small grin. He stood so close that his hair nearly brushed her cheek. Unlike the reaction Eddie expected from her, Ziggy stood her ground. Her voice became just above a whisper, still dripping in confidence.

"Being the President of a club will look good on your record. If I were you, I'd drop the rockstar act. You can be the next Van Halen in college." She stood under him for a few more moments, watching his eyes twitch in anger as his tongue poked out of his lips. Upon realizing she wasn't going to receive a response, she turned on her heel and left the room, hoping he would choose to utilize the phone number on top of the schedule plan on his table.

Luckily, her phone rang less than an hour after getting home from work.

"Hello?"

"Are you always that bossy, Zigova?" Ziggy froze in her spot next to the receiver, not expecting that response.

"I'm sorry, who is this?"

"The next Van Halen. You know, this little blueprint is pretty exhaustive. Five days a week?" Ziggy grinned as her eyes focused on a small smudge of dirt on her ceiling. She could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Five days a week." She confirmed. A moment of silence followed on the other end of the phone.

"You still there, metal-head?" She glanced down at the phone as if she could see him through the speaker. The dramatic sigh that followed answered her question.

"We start tomorrow, metal-mouth." The line went dead abruptly. She chuckled as she hung the phone back on the wall, running her tongue over her braces.

March, 1986

Ziggy ran her tongue over her smooth, straight teeth. She had gotten her braces removed a few months after summer break. She walked through the rows of books, putting them in their rightful spots on the shelves.

She had been working at the library since sophomore year. It was practically the perfect job for her. It was always quiet and peaceful. Until it wasn't.

Dustin Henderson slammed the front door open with such ferocity that it bounced off the wall and came back to hit him in the arm, only for him to slam it into the wall once more. Three teenagers ran in behind him, all four breathing heavily as Dustin looked around the building.

"Ziggy! Is Ziggy Zigova here?! We need-"

"Excuse you!" Ziggy's voice boomed in the large building, cutting off Dustin's screeching. The quartet froze in fear, turning to find Ziggy sending daggers at them from around the corner. Silence enveloped the room once again.

"I can help you four at the front desk." Her voice lowered to an appropriate level, remaining ever so menacing.

She walked towards the back of the room. They stood frozen for a moment before Max shoved past them, following Ziggy. Soon, they all met at the counter.

"Okay, what do you want?" Ziggy was monotone and unimpressed as she watched them all glance at each other nervously. It was only then that she recognized Steve Harrington.

"We uh, we wanted to know if you know where Eddie is?" Robin looked down at Ziggy with hopeful eyes. She watched as her face morphed from unimpressed to absolutely pissed.

"Get the fuck out of here." The groups eyes widened at her rash response.

"Woah woah woah, Ziggy listen-"

"Really? You came to my work to harass me? Are you kidding me, Harrington?"

"No! No, I'm not here about your relationship! We-"

"How many times do I have to tell you people? We weren't in a relationship. I was tutoring him for gods sake. We graduated a year ago and you're still trying to-"

"Something's wrong!" Dustin yelled once again, cutting off Ziggy and Steve's bickering. Ziggy's angry scowl faltered for a moment as she turned to the younger boy. She glanced around the group, Robin looking scared and Max letting out a small sigh.

"What happened?" She whispered.

"We're not entirely sure. That's why we need to find him before the police do. They're gonna come looking for you too." Max warned her with an intense tone. Ziggy furrowed her brows at the girl.

"Police? What do they want with Eddie? What do they want with me?" She was beginning to panic and their lack of information was not helping. She walked from behind the counter to come closer to them.

"When they hear about the rumors they're gonna question you, just like we are. The difference is, if you tell them, they're gonna arrest him for a crime he didn't commit." Dustin explained calmly, keeping his voice low. Ziggy stared up at him. Her stomach had dropped while her breathing picked up.

"What crime?" She asked, her voice shaking. Dustin looked back at his friends with an unreadable expression. Steve sighed, looking down before meeting Ziggy's eyes and licking his lips.

"Murder."

[h0n3yk1tt3n]

So I hope this didn’t creepy but I was on ur instagram looking at ur following to find other BMC ppl and I saw u like hazbin hotel/helluva boss? I was wondering if I had any thoughts on what BMC charecters would look like as demons

OOOOOOO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION OKOKOK

SO. IMPS.

Christine could totally rock the southern belle charm of the Wrath ring. Jeremy and Michael are from Pride. (Jer is modeled after Moxxie bc. Obviously. And Michael is part incubus to tie into being biracial.) Jenna would def work on the shady side of Greed, probably in an attempt to stay afloat in a capitalistic hellscape *rimshot*

Succubi/incubi

Seems pretty obvious for Chloe and Jake to be from Lust lmao

Apologies for these subpar hellhounds I'm not good at anthro-

Of course brookie cookie has her puppy symbolism, whereas Rich to me seems like... even though he's a Popular Kid in bmc he needed Outside Help to get there, so he may be tied to some big name like Jake in order to get respect. Probably a similar deal for Brooke and Chloe

AND I KNOW YOU DIDNT MENTION THE SQUIP and honestly it's probably better suited as an overlord of sorts (cough cough vox moment) but I just... needed to draw it as Striker because of THE V I B E S man
