Hey friend, I’m a new fan of band of brothers and have been reading many of works and I’m greatly enjoying them❤️ and was wondering if you could write headcanons of doc roe and speirs finding out there gf has surgical scars on her chest/stomach? I had a heart operation when I was a baby that left 2 scars. One horizontal acoss my stomach and one vertical on my chest and stomach. I would so appreciate it:) ofc take your time and feel free to add any other characters if you’d like. I hope you have a nice day:)

A/n you are beautiful anon <3 thank you for the request. Sorry for being inactive. Writing is sorta a side thing and I stopped because things got hectic and I never got back onto the wagon. Thanks for the patience

Warnings: medical talk and scars n'stuff, fluff, possibly poor writing, blood (nothing crazy,) language

<3

Masterlist

Eugene roe

-He honestly has seen so many scars in his life that he didn't really think much when you showed him. But he understands that you are not by any means just another trooper, you are far more than that. As you explained their origin, Eugene sat patiently and listened to you. Nothing but adoration and care in his eyes. You weren't scared that he would judge; you knew roe, it's just you don't openly share you have them. Roe placed his hand on your head and kissed you before bringing you into his arms

“You're the most beautiful person I have ever seen, thank you for sharing”

Ronald Speirs

-It was an accident when he saw. You were changing and he walked in. This was early in the relationship and you weren't quite ready to share. As you were quick to frantically hide the scars, speirs simply watched you. You apologized and rambled on about how you got them and how he was never supposed to see them like this and if he wants to leave that's ok. You kept rambling nervously. Ron walked over to kiss you so you could stop.

“Don't ever hide your scars from me again, they're nothing to be ashamed of”

“So you're not going to leave me?”

“I'd be a fool to leave you”

Richard Winters

-You were a medic. It was in Carentan. You had gotten a tear in your uniform, luckily you had a spare. You and Winters had been dating since Camp Mackall, yet time was not something you had to see each other naked. You were in the jury-rigged med bay changing. As you lifted your shirt, Winters, oh so perfectly timed, walked in. His eyes immediately caught a view of your scars. At first, his facial expression was surprise, then confusion, then worry. But before you could let this man's thoughts get the best of him, you explained their origin. Winters stepped closer and took you into his embrace, you could hear his steady heartbeat.

"These scars... why didn't you tell me?"

"They've been there since I was a baby. I didn't want you to worry.”

“You don't have to hide anything from me, I'm here till the end”

Babe Heffron

-German artillery rained down onto the Ardennes Forest. Chaos was everywhere as people ran for shelter and trees collapsed. A part of a tree happened to impale you, it wasn't severe but it needed to be tended to. When things quieted down you seeked out Roe. You found him with Babe. You and Babe Heffron had grown close over the past few months, sharing fleeting moments of warmth and connection. Both of them saw you then the blood. Roe went to his kit, Babe had a slight panic attack. You told Babe that it looked worse than it was. Eugene confirmed it after he told you to remove your shirt. That's when babe saw the scars. His eyes widened with concern and curiosity. Before he could voice his worries, you offered an explanation. Babe accepted it and when Eugene left after patching you up Babe went to your side.

“you know, you fucking awesome with those.”

“So I'm not a freak?”

"Sweetheart, you are the most drop dead gorgeous person I have ever seen”

David Webster

-It was Holland, during a rare quiet night. You and Webster have grown closer and closer ever since Toccoa.You both took a walk near the edge of the village, the conversation turned personal. The air was crisp, and you felt comfortable enough to share more of yourself with him. You lifted your shirt to show him. Like with roe you were nervous but you knew him and trusted him. His eyes widened in surprise, and he reached out gently, his fingers tracing the lines with curiosity.

"Where did these come from? Are you okay?"

"I've had them since I was a baby. Surgery.”

"You're incredible, you know that?"

The Arrangement

CH 10 - First Date

Damian Wayne x OC! Female

Prev | Next

" So cute," Dick gushed as he watched Syn and Damian walk around the Observatory from one section to the next. It was the middle of the week, so the crowd wasn't significant. 

"You know, Dick, I've actually been trying to lose my status as a stalker," Tim says as he follows behind Dick, who is running around hiding behind things like a Looney Toons character. Yeah, he wasn't doing that. " You look ridicules," Tim said as he watched Dick fix his fake mustache behind a wall.

"Did they see me?" Tim turned to the couple. Syn smiled and waved while Damian just glared. He waved back.

"Nope".

Tim sighed as Dick ducked behind a placard. " They are going in for the show. I got tickets if you want to follow." he refused to look at his idiot brother.  

"Let's go; well, sit in the back." Dick rushed forward before the attendant closed the door. Tim apologized for his behavior. Damian and Syn sat in the middle area while Tim and Dick sat in the very back. " Why aren't you more interested? You normally would be all over this," Dick whispered asked.

"I am," Tim argued. " I'm just not acting like an idiot hiding behind bushes and walls and in the nonexistent crowds from two trained assassins. You look ridiculous," and to prove his point, he rips off Dick's fake mustache. He was displeased to know it didn't hurt him. 

"They know we're here, no point in hiding. That, however, does not give you an excuse to approach them. Leave them alone and just watch."

"Got it. You are the senior stalker here"

"I don't like you right now."

-

Syn smiled as Tim waved back lazily. " It's sweet, isn't it?" 

"Drake's stalker habits are not sweet. Although he'll be given credit for forgoing Richard's Scooby Doo performance."

"what's Scooby-Doo?" he just shakes his head. 

"Let us ignore them. Hopefully, they won't approach us." The couple continued on their date blissly ignorant to the chaos following behind them.

Damian and Syn forged a tour guide. Syn had enough knowledge to tell him everything anymore, and she did. Damian listened as she carefully spoke of the scientific findings as well as the ancient stories that came with them. Syn enjoyed the stories more than the knowledge, and he could tell. She just loved the folklore and mythology. History and Stories were always her favorites. The stories of the constellations. 

Although during the show, she was quiet, keeping her eyes above letting the presenter speak, she did shake her head or make a face at any mistakes or bad jokes. 

"What do they look like?" Syn whispered; he looked at her, confused. " What do they look like? The star is up in space. In your watch tower." 

Oh.

"In space, there is no smog or pollution, nothing to hide the stars. There is nothing to hide from the stars. The view is crystal clear. They are beautiful and bright. Might even see a few stars you've never seen before. You'd love it." he takes her hand gently, massaging her knuckles.

"I'll take you up there one day."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'll show you the stars and tell you the stories I know."

"I'd like that." She gently put her head on his shoulder for the rest of the show. After the show, they went to the gift shop, where Damian bought her blanket covered in stars.

"My first housewarming gift," Syn says as she squeezes the gift bag to her chest. Delighted to receive such a fluffy gift. Usually, the gifts she received were for her line of work. Knives, daggers, poisons, anything that could assist. It was nice to receive something soft for once.

"You said you needed blankets, and you were eyeing it." It was the thought that counted. "How is the house coming along?"

"Very well," and it was. The interior was done (that included the hidden weapons and booby traps), and the exterior was coming along. They were working on the windows and roof. " Just need furniture."

"No decor?" 

"Well, I'm not that artistic. I'll probably just hire a decorator or just wing it. It's not like I'll be hosting anyone anytime soon." She laughs lightly. Syn knows art; she isn't artistic, but she knows art. She isn't talented, but she has skills. She said she could make the place look pretty but not homey. It wouldn't feel like a home. She did not know how to make one.

They started to slow down as they made their way to the exit. 

"Perhaps," Damian says slowly," That could be a date. Acquiring furniture, that is." He kept his eye forward as he spoke a bit shyly about what her response might be.

" Funiture shopping. Bit domestic, don't you think?" She didn't know why, but she wanted to make sure, and she wanted him to be sure.

It was silent as they approached the car. He opened the door but put his arm out to stop her. He leans in close. His voice is quiet; only she can hear it. " We are to be married." His breath fanned her ear. This would just be practice then, right?" Unable to speak, she simply nods.

Giving her a gentle push helps her into the car. Damian contemplates whether to help her with her seat belt but decides against it and closes the door. Sitting in the car, Syn takes a moment for herself. That was a lot. It was a very intimate moment (at least for them). Him being so close and breathing against her. Her body was tingling.

Damian also took a moment to breathe outside the car. Being that close to her and smelling her perfume was good. Being so close to her made him feel things. He needed to get himself under control. Everyone was under control when Damian finally got into the car.

-

Fortunately, after the show, Dick gave up the So=cooby Doo performance and was behaving like a normal person. Or more like a normal stalker as he still eyed Syn and Damian like a predator.

Someone must have told security about the strange behavior because three security guards approached as they came to the gift shop. Tim spoke before they could even open their mouth, " Our little brother is on his first date, and we're following them. You know, making sure he treats her right."

"Aww, he's buying her something," Dick coos as he tries to peek around security. 

"We'll leave." 

"What ?! NO!" Dick begins to protest as Tim drags him away towards the exit. " What did he get her? I bet it was a plushie. I wonder where they're going next."

Tim and Dick watched as the couple slowly walked through the parking lot. They walked closely, their backs to them, so Tim couldn't see what they were saying. Dick was just cooing at how close they were.

"Oh, he's opening the door for her," Dick awwed at the gentlemanly act. But as Damian opened the door, he leaned down toward Syn. They were merely inches apart.

Ignoring Dick's soft chant of "kiss, kiss, kiss," Tim focused on the couple, specifically Damian, whose lips he could see. While he couldn't make out everything, he read 'to be married' and 'practice.' Drawing his own conclusions, he decided that he had seen enough of the couple today and wouldn't stick around for more.

"Time to go" he pulled Dick away.

"We need to follow them."

"No, we don't," Tim said, taking the keys from him. " We've seen enough. Leave them alone."

Dick pouted like a child but ultimately agreed to leave them alone, getting in the car and watching them drive in the opposite direction. 

"Batburger"

"Yeah, you can show me the pictures you took."

"I'm surprised you didn't take any."

"One, as I told you, I'm trying to lose the stalker title, and Two... What makes you think I didn't?"

[geo-winchester]

Omg okayyy! Can I request an imagine with Taron where he's being sassy and the reader sarcastic?

MR. EGERTON

A/N: hi lovely!! Thank you for you request and I’m so sorry this took me a life time to write it but here it is and I hope you like it and it’s what you want for, if you have any other request don’t doubt to send me an ask! Lots of love!! 💙

——————

This wasn't the first time you were on a set, you were on another project as one of the nurses, you met a lot of people in this work and you love to see how the actors do their work, but this was your first time working in the same set as Taron. He caught your eye the moment he walked into the set, with that cocky attitude and that smile. You only talked to him once and it was enough contact for a month, he only talked about himself and worried about his look. That day you were finished ordering all your supplies when you heard someone knocking at your door, you were confused when you saw Taron was standing outside the door.

-Mr. Egerton, do you need anything?- you asked him, you noticed that he got confused.

-This is a really cool place.

-Thank you, but I don't understand why you are here, Mr. Egerton.

-You like to call me Mr. Egerton- he said -is weird to be around a star?- he said with a smirk, you scoff.

-I didn’t know Richard Madden was here- you gave him a smile.

-Ouch- he said - I came because I have two tickets for Friday's game.

-Really?- you asked, he nodded in responde.

-And what would be better than having a date with me- you thought for a moment.

-I can’t think of anything- you said with sarcasm.

-So what do you say?- you thought for a moment.

-Hey Johnny- you call your mate.

-Yeah?- he answered.

-Do we have anything on Friday night?

-No- he said making Taron’s smile grew bigger.

-Great, so you can go with Mr. Egerton to the game- Taron’s smile drops in a second as Jonny cheers -If you excuse me I have some things to do.

The rest of your day went as any other, you were on the set in case someone got hurt, you had lunch with Jonny, every now and then you felt Taron’s eyes following your paths. When you were hitting out, someone called your name, when you turn around you saw Taron running to you.

-Mr. Egerton- you said -Do you need anything?

-Why do you hate me?- he asked you, you sighed before you smiled.

-I don't hate you- you said -I hate when people feel superior.

-Oh shit- he said -I’m sorry, I promised you I'm not that way…

-What?

-Is just that… fuck me- he whispered -I didn´t know how to act around you and Richard told me that every girl wants someone who is in charge and thought for her- you couldn’t help but laugh.

-That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard- you said.

-I panic and I follow his advice- you nod and smile -Jonny told me that you didn’t like to watch the baseball, if it was for me I would invite you to dinner in some quiet place and while you tell me about your life- You smiled before you offered him your hand.

-Hi Taron, I’m Yn- when he understood what was happening he smiled and took your hand -I know a small restaurant where we can grab something to eat.

-I really like that- he said.

When the two of you got to the restaurant, it was full so you ordered something to go and he followed you until you stopped in a small park. He was amazed about the view and smiled when you set the food on one of the picnic tables that was in the park.

-This is amazing- he said -How did you find this place?- he asked you as the two of you grabbed the food, you shrugged.

-I’m not really sure, one day I was running and I don´t know why but I stop here and when I look around, I had this view and it took my breath away and I remember why I love this city- he nod making you giggled -I know it´s silly.

-No it's not, this view… wow- you smiled- so?

-So?- you asked, confused.

-I told you I want to hear about your life, so tell me about it- you sighed.

-Well, what do you want to know?

-Everything.

-Hm- you said -ok let me see, I born on a small town in kansas, I had an older brother, my father was a doctor and my mother took care of me while my dad work, I used to love to sing but my brother always said i sing terrible but i sang for fun but eventually i end up singing just in my car, I studied to be a nurse and one of my friends told me about this job and I told to myself, I never been on a set before, so I give it a try- you thought for a moment -I don’t really know what else to say- you said laughing.

-That’s a start- he said.

-What about you? Do you always want to be an actor- he nods.

-I started at 15, I thought it was the best way to make friends- you giggle -I went to the royal academy of drama.

-That sounds really important- you said, making him giggle.

-I have 2 sisters who I love with all my heart- you smile -I passed out on a performance one… what else?

-Your parents?

-Divorced, but they have a nice relationship, my mom married again and she’s happy.

-That’s nice, can I ask you something?- he nodded.

-How was working with Elthon John?

-Oh you're a fan?- you nod -he’s great, in what he does and as a person.

-How cool is to say “I know Elton John”- he laughs.

-If you’re thinking the same, that this has been a great date and maybe we’ll have another, then I’ll introduce him to you.

-Really?- he nods - That would make me the cool kid of the nurses team- he laughs- by the way I also think that this is going pretty well.

-Are you sure, you´re not saying that because you want to meet Elton?

-Nooo- you said joking -no I'm serious this taron is way much better than Mr. Egerton.

-Thank you.

-I just hope that your date with Johnny doesn't get better than this.

-I don't think so- he said as he got close to you -because you’re the one I like- he said making you blush, you kiss his cheek.

-So I think we can talk about that second date- you said making him smile.

prompt where robins mom finds out about her and nancy dating and she doesent take it well

Tbh I think Robin's mom would be more concerned that her daughter is dating someone who owns guns that the fact she's dating a girl. I haven't read much of the book yet, but Robin's parents are these "domesticated hippies" as she calls them, and they seem pretty fun and nice. Her mom is introduced dancing to fleetwood mac while stoned. She tells Robin they conceived her in the back of a van. They have all these photographs (in some or which her mother is topless) showing her parents with their friends and multiple lovers because they were also polyamorous and believed in "free love". Robin also mentions they have zero tolerance for any kind of hateful talk. I have read fics in which her parents are horrible and kick her out over being a lesbian and ngl I love that kind of angst, it's very cathartic. But after reading the book I don't think I myself can write that. Richard and Melissa just seem too chill to care about those things. Mayne later in the book I see some red flags here and there but so far I think Robin's mom would be mostly accepting.

There are, however, a few things we could work on:

Robin's mom is okay with Robin being a lesbian, she just doesn't like Nancy specifically. Like I said, maybe she knows Nancy owns guns, maybe Nancy has brought guns to their house for protection and Melissa thinks that is very disrespectful. I think she'd be mostly nice to Nancy, but as soon as she leaves she will tell Robin she doesn't like her, and that she feels dissappointed Robin would chose someone who "loves violence"

She has political disagreements with Nancy's family. Idk much about USamerican politics in the 80s but my spidey sense tells me Reagan and hippies wouldn't have gotten along. Maybe Melissa is a bit confused as to why her daughter is dating someone whose parents had a vote for Reagan sign on their lawn.

She is scared for Robin. When Robin says they're "domesticated hippies", she seems to imply they left a lot of their hippie ways behind to get married and start a nuclear family. She mentions she doesn't know if they still believe in "free love". Maybe in her youth, Robin's mother wouldn't have had a problem with it, but nowadays she sees her daughter with a girl and instead of thinking "love is love!" she thinks "the world is cruel and my baby girl is going to suffer so much". I think this option is my favorite one. It could have "mother broke her daughter's legs in two, said 'it's too dangerous to walk out there, so I had to save you'" vibes. She's a middle aged adult now, she's grown and she knows the freedom she enjoyed in her youth is not an option for her Robin. She tells her to think things through. Robin is confused. About Nancy, her mother explains. I just don't want you to get hurt. Robin still doesn't understand. But mom, I'm already hurt, she says. Melissa wants her to go slower, to not make such a big decision so fast. What will people say? What will they think? What will they do to her? Actually, she's too young to decide this. She's too young to be so obsessed with sexuality. People will be disgusted. She fills Robin's heart with fear and shame and it makes her not want to hold Nancy's hand in public even they they know no one is watching. Not under the table, not in a dark cinema. She's suddenly very shy and will often avert her gaze from her lest someone sees her looking at a girl. Her mother would hate to say it, but she'd be much more comfortable if her daughter were straight.

marriage in ‘gilmore girls’ (pt. 1)

in this post, i'm gonna talk about how marriage/proposal is used to sweep problems under the rug in 'gilmore girls.'

wow, what a cheery topic!

1x21 - love, daisies, and troubadours

to recap, lorelai and max are fighting before a date about luke of all people. luke has just left lorelai’s house after telling her that rachel has left again. max is jealous because he thinks luke is an ex from their time apart. understandable.

max says, “why do we always do this, lorelai? when it’s just getting good again?” or whatever

they both conclude that it never ends up working out when they get back together. they both conclude they need a solution.

lorelai says “let’s break up.” max says “let’s get married.”

oh wait, but-

a few episodes back, lorelai had said to max, “i don’t ever want rory to feel unsettled in her life.” she said that was the reason she chickened out and ran. fine. this is the first time you’re dating with rory around.

you getting married after breaking up with the same man every five minutes over two months seems quite contradictory to me…

but anyway, don’t even get me started with when she called off the wedding on the fly because she realized she didn’t love max and then rory was extremely confused. that’s rory feeling unsettled.

like hello??????? i would’ve run away too.

(i know rory ran away before lorelai and max got engaged but rory was feeling unsettled way before that because of dean as well)

but okay i gotta give it to them because the thousand daisies lorelai found at the independence inn were cute.

honestly, i love max.

lorelai treated max so horribly and don’t get me wrong, her being confused was valid but taking time to figure it out instead of rushing into marriage would have been better than ghosting and hurting that poor man. AND THEN SHE COMES BACK AND KISSES HIM IN S3.

this is just one of the reasons why i don’t like season one all that much. i start my rewatches with season three because i am personally a team jess girl.

anyway, then there’s christopher. he’s a whole other post.

i’m just gonna talk about one of the times he proposed here.

1x15 - christopher returns

“lor, i wanna marry you.”

that whole conversation was insane.

to recap, chris and lorelai are standing in the kitchen discussing what had happened the night before. on emily and richard’s balcony. i shall say no more. lorelai very clearly regrets it and expresses her desire to never ever do that again with him. his first thought is to get married-

that's not even the bad part. he then says:

"c'mon, we're already a family"

WHO'S WE? you deign to show up for once for thirty mins and suddenly oh my god we're all happy and together?????

no. that doesn't make up for the 15-16 years rory didn't have a father involved in her life. you don't just get to show up and act like everything is all hey howdy doody. AND HE ALWAYS DOES.

he always just shows up when he wants to.

with gg, he couldn't escape that because she didn't have a mother either, so he had to be her father. he had the choice to either raise gg or abandon her. thank god it wasn't the latter because i- yeah. he finally understood what lorelai went through even though it wasn't totally the same because she was 16. that's one of his only shining moments when he admits what he did with rory was wrong, so i'll give him that.

this is just one facet of his personality that i very much loathe.

oh! here's my personal favorite: dean telling rory he’s getting married to lindsay :) but that’s in part 2.

see ya hehe

****i can't decide whether this is rambling or not but this is what this whole thing is for

[there-are-many-ways-to-smile]

Since I've decided not to watch anymore seasons of Grey's. I want to take this time to talk about stuff I probably have no business talking about because I didn't watch the actual episodes. 😅

This is gonna be very out of order.

☆: As much as I like Bailey, Alex should have the board chair. Cristina left it for him and Richard shouldn't even be allowed to Nominate anyone. He's not even on the board.

☆: Maggie and Jackson dating each other is gross. People keep saying it fine cause they didn't grow up together. I don't care. Them being attracted to each other while their parents are dating/married is disgusting. Like that's literally your legal sibling.

☆: if I watched season 14, Casey Parker would have been a favorite character. I’ve only seen clips on him and top tier, him and Cristina and maybe Alex would have been so powerfully unhinged. Lol

☆: Idk the relationship with Maggie and Meredith but I think Maggie expecting Meredith to tell her everything about her life is a bit much, like it’s so much and she just met you. So obviously she’s not gonna be like here’s my life story. Idk what’s going on with Alex but you can’t fault Meredith for trusting him over Maggie she’s known the dude for like ten years…

☆: Maggie 100 percent should waited to be on better terms with Meredith before dropping the “we share a mom” bomb.

☆: I'm so confused on the Maggie and Jackson getting married thing. Because how would that have worked. Husband and wife while also being step-siblings. 🤮

☆: People keep bringing up Lexie whenever they see Maggie and calling her a lexie replacement. Listen one, Chyler Leigh wanted to be killed off the show, she and Maggie could have been friends or whatever. Stop trying to compare the them. Two, greys anatomy had Maggie planned since day one, albeit more so as a brother.

☆: I would have lowkey loved if Maggie was a brother instead of a sister. I just think would have been interesting. Probably something like

Meredith:"I've never had a brother before"

Derek or someone "what are you talking about? Isn't Alex kind of like having a brother?"

Then a cute scene of Alex and Meredith being like siblings. Idk

☆: the Nathan drama of season 13 is wild, after all that drama that happened when Meredith first met Derek. I can't even imagine her seeing someone know her sister Maggie liked and was actively going on dates with. [Tbh i have no idea if there were dates but the clip made it sound like that.] Nathan is trash for not telling Maggie he liked Meredith.

☆: I just saw Meredith and Jackson goodbye, and I actually like them. I remember when izzie came back to work after the merge and Alex, Cristina, Meredith and Jackson were all eating lunch together, and he said something and one of them was like "who invited you here?" And Meredith was all like "I did." That shit was cute. I wish season 10 and lower had more scenes of them being friends.

☆: I don't like Maggie and Jackson, but emotional cheating is still cheating.. it's exactly like what april was doing to Matthew..

☆: not Stephanie trying to blame the harassment complaints on Leah, like she wasn't one of the reasons Leah did it in the first place. Don't crap where you eat? (This is from the episode where Leah returns, I saw a clip on youtube.)

□: While writing this I'm low-key thinking about going back to binge the show for Alex, but he's goodbye is so bad, and I hate him and Izzie so much. I refuse 😤 also I heard Callie character development suffers a lot 😭

☆: Why would they have Callie keep dating the woman who killed her friend? Hate that (I watched the dinner scene on YouTube)

If I see anymore scenes that I'm like oof to, I'll make a part two

Even though I have zero business complaining 😆

A Shadowy Mist Chapter 48 (Transformers Animated story)

Pairings: Prowl x Oc, Bumblebee x Oc, Optimus Prime x Black Arachnia, Oc x Oc

Summary: Meagan's team gets a new member who has a history with the goth girl agent in the past.

Location: The Mansion of Unknown

Director Mavis waited for Meagan at the mansion with the other agents who had their stuff already moved in. They see Shadow Mist and Meagan come up to the driveway as Meagan got off her partner. "Sorry we're late, Mr. Richards wanted to say his goodbyes." She said as she removed her helmet. "That's quite alright, Agent Walker. Your stuff is already in the house. But there was one person in here who kept the place clean for all of you." She said as she opened the door to see a young man with long brown hair and a beard sitting on the couch. "Anthony?" Meagan asked in surprise. "Sup, Meagan, been awhile." Anthony said in an Irish accent. He was dressed as a skater as he got up and skateboarded to the team. "You know him?" Mary asked. "He's my ex-boyfriend and fellow agent." She said as she placed her hand on her face. "They weren't technically dating, though. They just mostly hang out." Patrick said as he and Anthony gave each other a secret handshake that only they knew how to do. "So how'd you two broke up?" Ash asked. "We made a decision to go our separate ways." Meagan answered, explaining that they weren't in love but dated so that they weren't alone. "So you two never kissed?" Razor asked, "Nope!" Anthony answered. "We never even go on dates either." He added. "So you two were a loveless couple?" Grim asked. "Well, it's not like we didn't like each other. We would rather be friends instead." Meagan answered as she did the same handshake with Anthony. "I'm glad you said that cause I'm joining ye." He said, Meagan looked at him with shock, "You are?" She questioned nervously. "Aye, apparently bein' with a bunch of banshees was gettin' annoyin' so when Director Mavis asked me to come to Detroit from Ireland, I couldn't say no. Though the banshees were nice enough to wail me a friendly goodbye." He said as he showed a picture of him and a group of women who were all in white clothes and had white hair. "Those are banshees? They don't look that scary." Skull said in confusion. "Only when they're not screamin'." Anthony said.

Later that night

After picking their rooms and decorating them with whatever decor and furniture they have, the agents decided to call the Autobots and introduce them to Anthony. They waited as seven vehicles came up the driveway. They transformed into their robot forms, which surprised Anthony. Another vehicle came up and transformed into BrakeDown. "Why doesn't he have a symbol?" Anthony asked in confusion. "That's because he's not an Autobot. He's a bounty hunter." Meagan answered. "In training. Don't forget that." BreakDown said as Sari came flying in with her jetpack. Her helm revealed her face. "And I'm part Cybertronian. The name is Sari." She said. "I know who all of ye are, so no introductions are needed." Anthony said, "Director Mavis told me about the Cybertronians both good and bad. And that these decepticons are planning to resurrect the first decepticon in existence." He added. "So who are you going to pick as your partner?" Meagan asked him. "I'm pickin' mister bounty hunter in trainin'." He said in a snarky way. "Hey, the names BreakDown!"BreakDown yelled in anger. "And I don't think it's a good idea to pick me, cause I'm not an Autobot." He said, "But you're also not a Decepticon, so you're fine." Anthony said, "Besides, I like your car form. It's really cool." He complimented. BreakDown sighed, "I guess it's ok, but my mentor won't let me hear the end of it." He said. Then everyone got a sudden report from Captain Fanzone, who said that Starscream was seen flying out of control. "That's unusual con behavior." Meagan said. BreakDown giggled, "I love to see this." He said, chuckling as he transformed into his vehicle mode along with the Autobots. The agents joined their respective Cybertronian partners, and they drove off to see what's wrong with Starscream.

Later, at central Detroit.

Starscream was flying out of control, screaming about something. "GET THIS PEST OFF ME!!" He screamed as he switched to his robot mode and crashed land on the ground. The team made it and saw the whole thing. BreakDown is trying not to laugh but couldn't control it. "Oh my primus!!" He laughed. "Ratchet, can you check on him?" Optimus asked as the docbot went to check the con only to see weird scratches on Starscream. "That's bizarre." He said in confusion. "Starscream, can you hear us?" Optimus asked, Starscream groaned as he got up to look at the Autobots, as Blitzwing and Lugnut came down without attacking. "This better not be a trick." Shadow Mist said as she reached for her sword. "This is not a trick, Miss Shadow Mist. We were on a supply run until Starscream started acting off. Saying that a small creature was in his cockpit." He said as he went to his colleague's aid. "Is it ok if I analyze him in case he lost his processor?" Ratchet asked, "Of course, but just this once." Blitzwing said before switching to his aggressive personality. "And only once, Autobot!!" He yelled as Ratchet scanned Starscream and saw that the con was mentally ok. "Starscream, is what Blitzwing said true?" Meagan asked as she analyzed the scratches. She feels like she recognized them. "Yeah, but why would you Autobots and humans care?" He asked rudely. "I care cause I know what cause these scratches!" Meagan yelled as she showed everyone a file on her tablet. It has a photo of a small creature with big pointed ears, green skin, and bat wings. "What in Primus' name is that?" Bumblebee asked. "It's a gremlin, and as I fear, it's gremlin season." She said as she then saw a gremlin get off Starscream's back and into the sky laughing at him. "Why you little..NO ONE LAUGHS AT THE MIGHTY STARSCREAM!!" He said as he pointed his arm, but it fell down as he hissed in pain. "I think we should head back and be careful of these creatures." Blitzwing said as he grabbed Starscream and flew off with Lugnut after staring at Grim. "Why'd Blitzwing look at you like that?" Anthony asked, "Cause he's my cold rival." Grim answered.

Later at the decepticons' lair

Starscream was getting treated by his female clone Slipstream, "Ouch, watch the scratches!" He yelled at her, "Oh, don't be such a protoform. You're lucky that those Autobots gave you mercy after seeing your condition." She nagged. "It wasn't them that did this to me, femme!!" He yelled as Megatron came to check on his second in command. "And what pray tell did this to you, Starscream?" He asked darkly. Starscream explained to his leader about what Meagan said, and since Megatron knows when Starscream is lying, he sighs. "Then I suggest we get supplies from ground level until these gremlins pass." He said. "And hopefully these creatures won't mess with our resurrection plan." He added as he left. Starscream and Slipstream looked at each other since they're able to fly. They'd be easier targets for these gremlins. "So, how'd you become a nurse bot?" He flirted before getting slapped in the helm.

Why did you elbow me? 137

Achilles Castle part 42

Alexis: pov I got out of school early and decided to head to the loft, I totally forgot Kate had a cardiologist appointment today. I hope the appointment went well. I can hear Kate say as I walk towards dad's room. I'm scared. I thought my heart was okay. Dad says it is Kate. I knock on the door asking if I can come in, Dad says sure. I apologize for interrupting their important conversation, Kate says it's okay, that is when I notice the pamphlet on the bed.

Castle: pov I can see Alexis looking at the pamphlets. She looks confused, I explain to her that these 2 procedures are something Kate's cardiologist mentioned that could help Kate but she does not want to get it done, because she is scared of what could happen.

Alexis: pov I tell Kate it's okay to be scared and afraid. She says no it's not I'm a cop. Fear/weakness is a sign of failure and failure means you get injured on the job. I tell her we are all human and being afraid/scared is okay. I can hear the front door opening, It must be Lanie.

Lanie: pov Alexis shouts from the bedroom, she asks how the medical examiner thing went i tell her it went Fine, Alexis goes upstairs saying she should change for her date with Dave.

Castle: pov I sit on the bed and put Kate on my lap holding her close to me, I kiss her on the forehead saying everything is going to be okay. I tell Lanie what the Dr said. Kate it's okay to be scared and afraid but if the cardiologist says these procedures will help you have less episodes then you should do it. In the end it's your body and your choice, but me and Lanie agree with your cardiologist that you should have the procedures done.

Castle: pov Kate just starts crying, I understand why she is upset she might not be able to have kids. I tell her it's okay we will make the appointment with the high risk ob gyn and see what they say. We can always use a surrogate. It would still be our child. The only difference is you didn't Carry it.

Lanie: pov I quietly wait for Castle wheel himself in his office and tell him everything about both procedures and why it would benefit her. In Kate's case a small incision would have to be made on her chest so they can remove some of the scar tissue since she has a lot. They would also probably do the icd procedure at the same time as the catheter ablation procedure since it would only remove a little bit. Obviously these procedures will help her but it's 100 percent her choice if she wants it, we can't force her to get it done. Don't be pushy when talking about it, but mention the benefits it will have on her health.

Castle: pov Dr Burkett is scheduling her for a muga scan and sleep study the Muga scan will show how her heart is pumping/functioning.

Kate; pov Lanie says I should lay down and relax for a bit. She gives me a hug and says call me when you decide what you want to do. Lanie has plans with Esposito later when he gets home from the precinct. I grab my anti-roll pillow and puts it next to my left side so I can take a nap after we talk

Martha: pov I arrive home from my acting class to find Richard in the kitchen cooking. I ask how his day went. He says good, didn't Katherine have a Dr appointment today.

Castle: pov Yes mother it was a cardiologist appointment and it did not go well. He wants her to have these 2 procedures done. One on her scar tissue and the other is an icd device and Kate does not want to have it done. Also she might not be able to have children. I discuss the procedures a little bit more and tell mother to not bring it up let her mention it.

Esposito: pov after work I arrive at Lanie's so we can spend some time together. She looks upset, Lanie says it's nothing Kate was just rough today at the Dr's. I ordered some Chinese food so that we can cuddle and watch a movie together.

Kate: pov I spent most of the night up thanks to a nightmare. I'm trying to get my curly hair into a ponytail before I have to leave for work. My shirts don't have normal buttons, they are fastener type things that pull apart when you pull on them. I grab a black shirt and black pants, Castle is making oatmeal for breakfast while I take my pills. I still have not decided if I'm getting the procedures done. Dr Burkett managed to squeeze me in for the MUGA scan tomorrow. I'm kind of scared, Castle is going with me. I can't eat six hours before the scans. The scariest part is that I can't take my heart meds. We discontinued my pod today, Castle will put it back on tomorrow after the scan. I also will remove my ampstrip in the morning. Me and Castle are going to go shopping today after work at the baby store to buy Jenny a gift since she is having a boy. Maybe we can stop for ice cream after.

Ryan: pov Kate spent most of the day in her office. I asked how Castle was doing and she said fine, surprisingly he is not that bored this time. He is at home getting some writing done. Kate brought some lunch from home. She is being careful trying to avoid getting food poisoning.

Castle: pov Kate got off early enough that we can go out to eat after, at the baby store me and Kate are looking at some options in the newborn section when an employee walks over asking if we need help. He is suggesting some options we might like, I think he thinks the stuff is for us. He mentions there are some great bottles we might like unless we are breastfeeding the baby. To be continued. …….

Escapee From Region IV by Connor S. O’Keefe (cont.)

Chapter 1 Part 2

I arrived at our Charlotte, North Carolina home from school, put my key in the door, and walked inside. I had just turned twelve two months ago, and one of my birthday presents was a house key. My parents were still at work and my older brother, Nathan, was at college attending the nearby University of North Carolina.

There was a strange car parked outside of my house but our neighbors were pretty weird people so I didn't pay any mind to it. My shoulder length pigtails bounced as I walked into the kitchen, put my backpack down, and made a peanut butter and Colby-Jack cheese sandwich. It was my favorite after school snack. I don't remember when I started making these but it was really good. Especially today. It was one of the final days of school for the year, and I had taken four tests today. Math, Science, English, and my worst subject of all, History. I suck at history; dates and names get jumbled in my head and I always end up saying that George Washington Carver was the first President.

My brother was going to be home in a week from his freshman year. I imagined that he would have a ton of fun stories to tell. I sat down on the couch in our living room to watch whatever was on the Disney Channel, probably Phineas and Ferb, when there was a knock at the door. I opened the door to find a man in a white coat standing there.

"Can I help you sir?" I said through my missing front tooth.

He leaned down to reach my height. "Hi there sweetie, are you Grace Eleanor Schnell?"

I felt awkward around him but answered honestly. "Yep! That's me!"

"Well I need to talk to you. It's very important. It's in regards to your parents." He said and asked to come inside. I let him in. "Your parents and I have been talking for a while and they are concerned about you."

"What do you mean?”

"Well, my name is Doctor Richard Borenstein. I work at the Region IV Mental Institute. Your parents have become concerned with the way you have been behaving lately." I was still confused. I didn't think I had been acting strange lately.

"What's a mental institute?"

"It's a nice place that people go when they have problems in their head." He said calmly. "Your parents have told me that they think it might be best if you go there for a while. It won't be too long, we at the R4MI are very good at what we do, and we can fix you up quickly."

"So do I have a choice to go with you? Or can I stay here?"

"Unfortunately not. Your parents have already signed your admittance form, we have come to take you with us."

"Can I wait for my parents to get home before I leave? So I can say goodbye."

"I'm sorry, honey, but that's why I came here now. Your mother was very upset about this and they agreed to not be here when we came to get you." I was confused and upset. I didn't want to go but he was kind and certain that this is what my parents wanted.

"Should I go pack?" I asked, hoping that my mom might be home from work by then. "I'll need clothes, right?"

"No, you won't." He walked over to the screen door and opened it. "Just come with us and we'll give you some really comfy clothes. It's a very nice place. You'll get a very nice room, and toys, and we'll take good care of you. You'll be back before you know it." I lowered my head and began to cry. I was confused. Why would my parents do this to me and not tell me. "No, don't cry." Dr. Borenstein said. "Here, let me carry you to our van, and we'll take you to get ice cream, does that sound good?"

I sniffled. "Ye-yeah. Ice cream."

I awoke with a snap in the bed area of the semi-truck. Momentarily forgetting where I was. Geoff was driving calmly through the night. "Hey, you're awake. You ok? You were crying in your sleep." I wiped my eyes and blinked a couple times so my eyes would adjust to the lights of the dashboard. My head was spinning. The dream I had had had just reminded me of something I hadn't thought about for years; the first time I met Dr. Borenstein. I wiped the crust out of my eyes and looked at the clock. 11:25PM.

"Yeah. Sorry, just a bad dream. Did I say anything?"

"Not really. Just something about waiting for your parents." I looked down and I was under a blanket, with my sweatshirt back on.

"How did I get back here?"

"Ah, you fell asleep in the front seat around 4 o'clock. I pulled over and put you back there. I tried to wake you up so you could go back there yourself but you were out cold."

"What about my shirt?" I asked, trying to not sound accusing.

"I just slipped it on you as best I could, it usually is colder back there than up here and I didn't want you to start freezing."

"Oh, well. Thanks. Where are we?"

"Just outside of Nebraska." Geoff said, keeping his eyes on the road. We sat in silence for a few minutes before Geoff spoke again. "Who are you?"

"What?" I asked in confusion. He was looking at me in the rear view mirror.

Geoff waited a couple seconds before replying. "I saw the tag on your shirt. It's from that crazy house they mentioned on the radio." I looked at my lap and contemplated what to say.

"I don't want to go back."

"Are they as dangerous as the warning said?" I said nothing in reply. A tear fell down my face. Geoff drive for a couple minutes again."If you are," Geoff chuckled. "I don't think you're in any sort of shape to hurt anyone."

The silence in the cab was deafening. "Did they mistreat you?" Geoff finally asked. I didn't say anything. "The shape of you when I picked you up. Whew. I can't imagine it was a good place."

"I don't belong there."

"No one belongs in a place that lets patients look like that."

"No, really!" I said looking up at Geoff, tears still falling. "I'm not crazy! I don't need to be there!"

"What happened?" I waited a few seconds, looking at my lap again. I began sobbing just at the thought of everything I had seen.

Through the tears I croaked, "Are you going to take me back?"

Geoff thought for a minute, and finally responded "No. I'm not. If they let you get the way you did, I think they don't need to have anyone there." I looked at him again, in disbelief. "I'm an old soul." Geoff said, he paused for a second. "What does TS mean?"

"Test subject... I think. At least, that's what they referred to me as."

"Why would they do that?"

I waited a couple minutes, trying to gain control of myself. Finally I told him everything. How Borenstein took me from my home, the screams in the night, the blindfold. I explained to him about the vials and the human parts in pickling jars. I hesitated for a second, but decided to tell him about the lady on the table.

Geoff looked mortified. "Yeah, I'm definitely not taking you back there." I sniffled, and said nothing for a minute. I just stared into my lap. Geoff spoke the silence out of existence with "I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's getting late and I'm close to my daily driving limit. There's a Loves gas station coming up. Maybe we can find you some new close, sweat pants really ain't good for 95 degrees summer heat... and maybe a shower."

The last ten minutes of the ride were in total silence. I was still sniffling and softly crying in the back of the cab curled into a ball on the mattress, but by the time we pulled into the truck entrance of the gas station I had managed to reduce the tears to one or two a second. Geoff got out and left me sitting in the cab for a bit while I gathered myself fully, taking slow deep breaths, measuring them with three second intervals. As Geoff was returning to the truck, I wiped the rest of the tears out of my eyes and rubbed my nose with the sleeve of the crew neck. When he got back to the truck he had a black medium t-shirt with an eagle on the front. He handed it to me and a bag of other stuff. I asked him what it was, he said it was toiletries he had bought for me. He said I had a shower appointment in ten minutes. While we waited we ate at the Wendy's that was attached to the gas station. I ordered a salad and a chocolate frosty, and Geoff ate a Dave's double meal with a Cherry Coke.

The shower felt so good. Another first in five years. My hair was disgusting and I washed it something like four times before I finally felt good about it. I wanted to stay in the shower's hot water forever, but a couple seconds after I finished washing the water shut off. I wasn't sure why but I eventually realized it was because my time limit was over. I put my sweatpants back on and the t-shirt. Geoff drove me to a nearby Walmart and bought me a pair of shorts. Geoff told me I could take the bed, and that he would just recline his seat. I tried to refuse, saying it was his bed, but he wouldn't hear it. "You're young. I'm not. You need some good sleep either way. I bet that place didn't give you a good mattress."

"They didn't give me any mattress." I replied. Geoff threw his hand out and offered me into the back of the truck.

Correct Me if I'm Wrong Sc.03

"Nooope! Nope, I'm good, thanks, Nate. Haha!" Replied Richard.

The phone voice buzzed no, seriously, you can have the car!

Richard consoled him in a rushed manner. "Alright, thanks Nate! Have a good day, braddah, haha, bye!"

Don't hang— Nate said before Richard hung up abruptly, chuckling like a chicken gobbles.

"Brah, Nate's crazy if he thinks I'm going to take that Prius off him— I'm not surprised he's trying to get rid of it, but he's not dumping it off on me" said Richard. "His Prius is a piece 'a sh$t."

"I seen it," said Danson.

"Yeah, brah, it's like he never takes care of it," agreed Richard. "There's no way he's going to sell that car to anyone. Someone might take it, but he would have to offer his life along with it, too."

"He's trying to sell it to you?" Asked Danson, smoothing over his drink. "His Prius?"

Richard answered, "Yeah, brah, he said I could take it off him! I told him I don't want that piece 'a sh$t! You didn't just hear me talking to him?"

"No, it's just funny, becaauuse— his Prius is like— f$ckin' totaled, bro," Danson chuckled.

Richard looked up confused at Danson. He asked, "What? Who told you that?" Then he pulled a beer from his fridge and slammed it shut.

Danson informed, "Bro, like, half the neighborhood knows he wrecked his car by reversing it into his house, and he hit one of the support beams, too."

Richard hissed. "See? Danson... I told you this guy is one nut job," he said, with his Hawaii pidgin dialect kicking in more. He dropped the TV remote on his coffee table and threw himself onto the Laz-E Boy chair. "He's out of his mind offering me one wreck Prius, brah."

Danson blew his own hair out of his face. He smoothly inserted into conversation, "Bro, that's like— a critical loss for him, haha— didn't he, like— place down sixteen grand for it when it was only worth, like, four grand, too?"

"Brah, it's his Prius. I don't know, I don't care," said Richard. Richard cracked open his beer and threw his sock-covered feet up onto the ottoman. "He wants to waste money, that's on him. He wants to get rid of his car, if the idiot wants it, they can have 'um." Richard took a chug from his beer and gave a loud aaagh!

Danson pulled his cellphone out of his pocket and opened up his dating app, scrolling through various profiles, various women. One woman came up that interested him, so he stopped there and swiped on her. He read her profile out loud, "Shaelynn, forty years of age, I am a hot and busy brunette with two- nope." Danson stopped.

Richard processed for a moment then gravitated in his seat, pulling his T-shirt down over his shorts. "What?" Danson didn't respond. "Danson, what did you say?" Richard tried again.

"Some busy, brunette chick named Shaelynn, hot as f$ck, she has two kids, bro," said Danson, scrolling and swiping. "Here's this one. Maria, thirty-five—"

"What's wrong with having kids, Danson?" Fished Richard, eyeing Danson from the Laz-E Boy.

"Nothing's wrong with it, it's just that I've never been with a woman that has had kids, and I don't want to be with a woman that has kids," Danson explained.

Richard processed for a moment what Danson brought to attention. He gave his opinion with ease, saying, "Brah, MILFs are hot, brah. Even if they got kids. Why? You no like one MILF?"

The TV was transitioning from a Pizza Eatery commercial to the Superbowl game.

"No, not if they have kids, bro. You would get with a woman—," started Danson.

"So what?" Asked Richard. "And Danson, the 'M' in MILF stands for 'mother,' you dummy."

"Okay, but Richard— you would get with a woman that has kids just for the pleasure of being with a hot MILF?" Asked Danson. He shook his head and mocked, "That's too much for me, brah!"

Richard argued, "Too much my a$$, you talk about scooping up chicks left and right, Danson. How old are these chicks? Like, twenty years old?"

"And older," Danson weakly added.

"Danson. You don't know what you're missing with MILFs. You're chasing little girls. I get what you're saying about them having kids and all that— but— you don't know what you're missing," said Richard, blankly staring at the TV, watching the game begin.

"How about this— thirty-three, sexy, she got that Coke bottle curve, and she has no kids, she's religious, looking for a serious relationship, and she loves small dogs and Winter retreats," suggested Danson.

Richard adjusted the pillow behind his head. He leaned forward, added another pillow and resettled into the recliner. "Brah, it's your call. You're the one who doesn't want to have kids," said Richard.

"She doesn't have kids, I said," insisted Danson.

Richard lightning-bolted, "She's religious, brah! Come on. She's going to want to have kids after she marries and then you're in the same situation as if you got with that other chick."

"Yeah, but maybe she'll tie her tubes—," Danson meandered.

"Wish-ful think-ing!" Richard said, brushing past Danson.

"'Cause you know, chicks these days be all about that pro-choice," insinuated Danson.

Richard threw back, "Maybe you should ask her that, then, Danson. Ask her if she wants to tie her tubes for you so you don't have kids."

"Bet, I'll ask her right now," closed Danson. He started typing up a message to her. "What do I start with?"

"Brah, for real? You're asking me?" Richard said. He chortled, shaking his head in tisk, then took another sip from his beer. He set his drink into the cup holder and played with his shirt again, leaning forward then back into his seat, clapping his hands at the TV, mimicking the crowd's applause. "Here we go! First down, baby! Let's go!"

Danson suggested, "Richard, you know Anna's team made the playoffs?"

"Brah, f$ck Anna's team. I couldn't give one sh$t about her team! Anna is one scrub," said Richard. He kept watching the game and a yellow flag was thrown at the snap. He clapped his hands together once. "Agghhhh, dummy, false start already?" He grabbed his beer, drank it, and waited to see what would happen next.

The Perfectionist

(Scene 1: A small park, afternoon)

(Spotlight on Narrator)

Narrator: There was once a young and bright woman named Melania Mendoza. She was in love with a man named Richard who she thought loved her back. (Melania and Richard enter, her head on Richard's) She was wrong. (turns to the couple) (spotlight on the couple) (Narrator walks out)

Melania: (dearly) Love, it's our third anniversary tomorrow. I can't believe we've been together for three years!

Richard: (lost in thought) Ah... I see.

Melania: (gently tugs his arm) Where are you going to take me, huh? Where are we going for dinner?

Richard: (suddenly gets annoyed) Dinner?! Eat?! You eat too much!

Melania: (stammers in shock) D-d-that's not what I meant, love. We can do anything you like. It's up to you.

Richard: (breaks away from her) I'm so sick of you! You always nag me to do stuff for you but never give anything back!

Melania: (slightly sassy, still confused) That's not true at all! I've given you everything you want!

Richard: (ignores her, angrily) And you're just—you're so...flawful. (sighs and some anger dissipates) I'm sorry, but... this isn't working out. (walks out from the scene)

Melania: (reaches out to him, on the verge of tears) R-Richard? Love? (starts crying) (whispers) ...come back. (kneels on the floor, hands on face, sobbing)

(Scene goes dark) (Narrator walks in, light focusing on them)

Narrator: (stops walking) Richard made a beautiful lie to leave the beautiful Melania for an average-looking woman he had been dating for a year. All he felt was relief to finally be rid of her.

(backlight turns on, and Richard runs to a woman and hugs her tightly) (blacklight turns off)

Narrator: (continues) Meanwhile, Melania foolishly believed everything her ex had said. (Lights focus on a sad Melania sitting on the floor) She lived her life thinking she was imperfect and "flawful." (Melania gets up) But many underestimate a woman's determination. (Melania puts on a coat) With a broken heart, she works hard and starts her own business: Mendoza Goods And Services. (people dressed as movers bring in a sign while Melania "instructs" them) She made sure everything is perfect, from the arrangements of the desks (more movers come in)

Narrator: (gravely)...to herself. (Melania stands tall and head high as light focuses on her before fading)

(Scene 2: Melania's mansion, early morning)

(Older Melania fans herself while Linda cleans the surfaces)

(Spotlight on narrator)

Narrator: 20 years later, Mendoza Goods And Services became Mendoza Industries and Melania is now one of the richest women in the country. She lives in a mansion with her one and only maid, Linda. Everyone who's ever worked for her found her insufferable except for Linda. But Melania didn't acknowledge that.

Melania: (haughtily) Linda! You missed a spot on that vase. (points to a nearby vase)

Linda: (rushes to vase) Where, ma'am? I can't find it. (pushed vase gently and breaks)

Melania: (screams) LINDA! WHAT'D YOU DO?!

Linda: (scared) I'm sorry, madame, but I was just looking for the dirt on the vase and it tipped over.

Melania: (still screaming) Do you know what you just did?! That was an antique vase worth thousands. You can't pay for that even if I don't give you salary and food, you idiotic salmon.

Linda: (cries) I didn't mean to, ma'am. I'm really sorry.

(doorbell rings)

Melania: Straighten yourself and go get the door. You must look perfect, okay?

Linda: (straightens herself, smiles, and nods) Okay, ma'am. (walks to the door)

Linda: (opens the door) Hello, sir.

Marshall: (tips hat then reaches out hand) Good morning, m'lady.

(Linda takes the hand, and Marshall shakes it frantically, Linda is quite surprised)

Marshall: Does a certain Linda Santos live here?

Linda: Oh, well that would be me, sir.

Marshall: Oh! (shies away) I'm sorry for how I behaved.

Linda: (giggles) That's okay. What do you need, sir?

Melania: (walks into the scene, plasters a smile) Good morning, sir. Linda, why didn't you let him inside right away?

Marshall: Oh, it's no matter, madame. I am Attorney Marshall Tolentino. I was simply wondering if I can talk to Miss Linda here.

Melania: Oh, of course! We can talk in the living room.

Marshall: (seriously) I was wondering if the two of us can talk in...private?

Melania: Everything you say to her, you can say to me. Come on. (motions them to go inside)

(the two follow Melania out of the scene) (scene goes dark)

(Scene 3: Melania's office, morning)

(they all sit in the living room, Melania and Linda sitting together, and Marshall sits across them)

Melania: (claps and clasps hands, eagerly) So what are we gonna talk about?

Marshall: Well, Miss Linda, I am your family's lawyer, and...(sighs) I regretfully inform you that your father, Mr. Richard, has passed away.

Linda: (sadly) Oh...I see.

Melania: (confused) Wait. Richard? Richard... Santos?

Marshall: (turns to Melania) Yes, madame. Richard Epifanio Santos.

Melania: (sadly) Oh...

Marshall: (turns back to Linda) He left a letter for you, and also an inheritance. (hands letter to Linda)

(Linda opens the letter and reads letter while Richard's voiceover plays)

Richard: My dearest daughter, Linda. How have you been these past 5 years? I wish I could know. Alas, my body has grown weak and I might die an early death. I've missed you dearly, my child, please know that. I apologize for not being enough for you as a father and as a confidant. I can't give back all the wasted years, but I can give you your freedom. You will manage my house, our house, and keep all of everything I own. Matilda has money of her own; she won't need it. Do stay as your loving, charming self. With a loving and dying heart, your papa, Richard Santos.

Linda: (wipes away a tear and holds the letter to her heart) Papa...

Marshall: It is stated in his final testament and his letter that you will keep everything in your father's possession. I have itemized everything, (pulls out another list) therefore, you, Linda Santos, are entitled to (reads quickly from the list) 2 mansions in Tagaytay, 1 townhouse, a dozen gold bars, thirteen 1-carat diamonds, 100k pesos worth of jewelry, 10 different cars, 50 different types of tables, 100 assorted chairs, half a dozen mirrors, 20 suits (looks off papers) which I'm sure you have no use for, (winks, continues reading) 10 dresses, 2 stoves, 10 pans, 8 pots, 2 kettles, 100 sets of spoons, forks, and knives, all of your father's companies, and a savings account with 20 million pesos inside it. (hands paper to Linda) Oh, and a poodle named Liesl. Charming lady.

Linda: (glances at the paper) This is a lot to take in, Attorney. Marshall: (waves her off) Oh, please, call me Marshall.

Linda: (smiles) Well, Marshall, may I ask where my stepmother is?

Marshall: (scoffs) She's probably wiling away with alcoholic beverages somewhere; I'm not sure. But that doesn't matter. (takes Linda's hand, making Linda blush) What's important is that you can go back to your home and quit being a maid. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, yes?

Melania: (stands up and breaks the two off) Now, hold on. As her employer, doesn't she need to at least issue two weeks' notice before leaving?

Marshall: That is true, but this is rather an emergency therefore if you'd like, I can send someone to replace her. Wouldn't that be grand?

Melania: No, thank you, attorney. This is a matter between Linda and me. Marshall: I suppose... (turns to Linda and holds out hand) Thank you so much for your time, Linda. (shakes her hand, and kisses it as well)

(Linda blushes and looks as Marshall exits)

Melania: (sharply turns to Linda, confused) I didn't know you had a family.

Linda: (embarrassed) Well, I did keep it a secret, ma'am.

Melania: Then why are you here? (hopefully) D-did Richard tell you to?

Linda: (shakes head) No, ma'am. I ran away from our house and I just ended up here.

Melania: (even more confused) Why in the world would you do that?

Linda: I had to, ma'am. My stepmother drank often and she enslaved me every time papa was gone. I couldn't take it so I left after taking one of my mom's jewels.

Melania: (slightly sad) Oh... (back to normal) You aren't just gonna leave, are you?

Linda: (smiles softly) I'm sorry, but... my father entrusted me to take his place now that he's gone.

Melania: (helplessly) But... there's no one else who can replace you.

Linda: I'll have someone sent here to take my place here. You've already done so much for me, ma'am. I'm sorry for all the mistakes I have done.

Melania: (snaps at her) No, it doesn't matter. Get out.

Linda: (shocked) B-but no one's picking me up till tomorrow.

Melania: (angrily) Who cares?! You're rich! Go pack your bags. I want you out early in the morning. Chop chop! (claps her hands)

(Linda rushes out of the scene) (scene goes dark)

(Scene 4: Mansion Living Room)

(Narrator walks in, spotlight on them)

Narrator: Melania made many mistakes in her life and not taking up Linda and Marshall's offer was one of them. She never replaced Linda—nor did she want to. Melania ended up cleaning her mansion. She brushed every floor; she swept every nook and cranny.

(Melania is seen sweeping and cleaning)

Melania: (wipes brow, tired) How did Linda do this every day? (annoyed) Argh! I have to make sure everything's perfect before I can go to work. (keeps sweeping)

(phone rings)

(Melania picks up)

Jo: (through phone) Ma'am, where are you? Everyone's already in the meeting room. Kiera keeps on shouting at me to call you.

Melania: Tell them to wait for 10 minutes. I'm on my way! (drops call and continues frantic sweeping)

Narrator: Melania's business tactics were impenetrable. Years and years of theories by researchers and Melania found the perfect balance. She could have gotten a Nobel Prize if she didn't keep her secrets under lock and key—only sharing them with her secretary and favorite employee, Kiera. She wasn't her favorite because of Kiera's trustworthiness or her skill, but because they can tolerate each other well. At least, until now...

(Scene 5: Business room)

Kiera: I apologize, sirs. Ms. Mendoza seems to be a bit busy lately.

Businessman 1: It's not your fault, Miss Reyes. We know it might be hard to... put up with such a strong woman. (glances at Businessman 2)

Businessman 2: Yes, (clears throat to catch everyone's attention) she has certainly built an empire, hasn't she? (everyone nods and murmurs in agreement)

Businessman 1: Certainly she has a technique or... a secret to her success. Right, Miss Kiera?

Kiera: Oh, she does. But it is a heavily guarded secret only the two of us know.

Businessman 1: Well, would you kindly share it with us?

Kiera: (smiles slyly) I don't think so, sir. It is a very important secret.

(the businessmen share a look and they all nod)

Businessman 2: How much is your salary, Miss Reyes?

Kiera: (smiles slyly) Well...

(turn off microphones) (they continue to chatter as the scene fades)

(Scene 7: Melania's office)

Narrator: Kiera ratted out all of Melania's secrets to her competition and slowly, they took down Mendoza's Industries. Melania kept on creating a new strategy, and Kiera kept sharing it with everyone. The worst part was that they published her secrets to the world. What could have been Mendoza's Law of Economics ended up being Garcia's Law of Management. Her employees also left, enticed by the benefits presented by the other firms. All of Melania's hard work disappeared within a year and she didn't find out the reason until after a long time...

Sam: (knocks on door) Ma'am?

Melania: Come in.

(Sam, Jo, and Sid come in)

Melania: (annoyed while clutching her head) What do you want?

Sid: We...(hesitates and looks at coworkers) want to inform you of what Miss Kiera is doing.

Melania: Continue.

(Sam and Sid nudge Jo forward)

Jo: Ummm... Well, I... (the other two gruntle)—I mean, we heard her talking to Mr. Garcia the other day about marketing techniques.

Melania: (intrigued) What techniques?

Jo: Like the one on the whiteboard, ma'am. (points to the whiteboard)

Melania: (stands up and walks toward whiteboard) This? (the three nod) I spent...weeks trying to formulate this. She promised to keep it a secret. She... (anger bubbles up before exploding) That witch! (walks out angrily)

Jo, Sam, and Sid: Ma'am! Wait! (runs after her)

(Scene 8: Outside Melania's office)

(Melania charges after Kiera)

Melania: (shouting) YOU WENCH!

(Kiera notices her)

Kiera: I'll consider it, sir. Thank you very much. Goodbye. (drops call) What do you want?

Melania: You traitor! I trusted you! Ahhh! (tries to slap Kiera)

(Kiera catches Melania's hand)

Kiera: (threatening) Don't try me, you old hag. I can sue you easily.

Melania: (struggles) Let me go! You're fired!

Kiera: (lets her go calmly) Good. It's not like I enjoyed working here anyway. Especially now that it's...falling down. (chuckles)

Melania: It's falling down because YOU sold my strategies to everyone!

Kiera: (shrugs) Sorry. Can't help it. (walks away) (looks over shoulder at Melania) By the way, you really should think about selling your company while it still has value. It'd be a shame if we have to...take you down further. (chuckles while walking away)

(Sam, Jo, and Sid console an angry Melania as the scene goes dark)

(Scene 9: Outside Linda's mansion)

Narrator: With a heavy heart, Melania sold Mendoza's Industries for a measly price of a million pesos. With Sam, Jo, and Sid, the three interns, she tried to start a brand new business, but all of them failed. Eventually, she sold her mansion and the rest of her assets, and she ends up almost to the point of bankruptcy. With no other choice, she went to the mansion of her ex's daughter, Linda.

(Melania walks to the mansion's gate) (a guard sees her)

Guard: Hello, ma'am. How may I assist you?

Melania: (tries to look over the guard's shoulder) Is Linda here?

Guard: Linda? Do you mean Madame Tolentino? She went out somewhere. Oh, wait! There she is!

(Linda walks with Marshall while carrying her baby)

Guard: (waves to them) Madame! Someone wants to talk to you.

(The couple recognizes Melania and shares a look) (Linda starts rushing to her but Marshall stops her)

Marshall: (holding Linda's arm, concerned) Are you sure?

Linda: Of course. Should I be worried?

Marshall: I mean...didn't she abuse you before you left?

Linda: Not exactly. And besides...,(smiles down at baby) I can handle her even with little Marshie here.

Marshall: (smiles) I know, but...be careful, okay?

Linda: (smiles back) Okay.

(Marshall kisses Linda's hand before she approaches Melania) (Marshall walks into the mansion)

Linda: (warmly) Madame! Nice of you to visit here!

Melania: (kneels on the ground, apologetic) I'm so sorry, Linda. I know I was a very cruel and unfair mistress to you. Everything I did was wrong and I know you won't forgive me but please give me the chance to show you I've changed. Please...

Linda: (shocked) Madame, you don't have to kneel. It's okay. I forgive you.

Melania: (stands up with Linda's help, hopeful) You do?

Linda: (smiles) Of course! I found out what my papa did to you and, even though you were a bit over the top, I understood why.

Melania: (chuckles sadly) Yes, he really did...scar me, didn't he? (notices baby) Oh, is this your child?

Linda: (laughs) Yes. His name is Marshall Melanio Tolentino. We...named him after you.

Melania: (wipes tear) I see. Since I saw you and Marshall smiling at each other, I knew you were meant to be.

Linda: (blushing) He's a real charmer.

Melania: Do you...have anyone taking care of him at the moment? I mean, the baby.

Linda: Oh. Well, we're still looking for one so...

Melania: I can help! I'm surprisingly good with kids and...this could be my chance to prove that I really am sorry for the things I did. Can I be his nanny?

Linda: (ponders for a while) Well...sure! He's often quiet so I'm certain he won't cause much trouble.

Melania: Really? Thank you so much, Linda. You've always been really kind. I'm...sorry I never saw that.

Linda: Nah. Let's put the past behind us. Let's start over.

Melania: Let's.

(the two walk into the mansion happily as the scene fades)

Narrator: Melania worked for Linda for the rest of her life. Though it was hard, she eventually learned to be more gentle to everyone around her. And I, Marshie, ended up being loved and cared for by my second mom. She told me her stories from her life until she passed away. To honor her memory, I wrote this play to immortalize her story. Thank you.

Hello good morning/day/night I’m a bit lost when it comes to Nathan from gym club and whats “canon” and fanon with him, could u help me?

So someone had found that in an old.. like, 2010 publication, there was a small report on the then in-development concept Lady Bug. Here:

so TLDR: The canon was that he's gorgeous, his name is nathan, and he was in the gym club. He was also marinette's love interest. Anything past that is "fanon". If concept stuff can even be considered fanon.

now, if you want a heavy breakdown, continue on.

So, introductory stuff: an idea in this fandom is that there are "concept characters" like Felix, Richard, Adoni, the Quantic Kids- more obscure designs like Sebastian, Flora, and Alina. Characters who don't exist in the canon 3D series- or at least not recognisable AS these characters.

For example, Melodie may have been developed into "Flora" (a fan name I like to use) who was later developed into Chloe.

They are so wildly different, it's easy to separate them into different characters. Chloe would never be friends with Marinette willingly, but Melodie or Flora are easily depicted as close friends of hers. It explains why she's a hero- at least on a meta sense.

So, back on track.

"Felix" was a design used very heavily in a LOT of concept work, He was Chat Noir's secret identity, Marinette's crush, and a boxer.

From the Artbook, Felix is described like this: "Felix is a classmate of Marinette, and he’s popular among girls. ... He has a speciality on athletics and boxing, and when he rotates his ring he can transform to Chat Noir."

Marinette is described like this: Marinette lives as a normal student at day.... Marinette is in love with Felix, but she doesn’t know Chat Noir is Felix in transformation.

Please keep that description in mind.

It was so established, in fact, that was the design that moved foreword for the PV. So he tends to be the most Well-Known because he DID get to star in some animation!

Felix' design got reused for Adrien's cousin, so the two characters get confused a lot. In a meta sense, Concept Art Felix is closer to Adrien then he is to Felix GDV.

However, he was later developed and changed into Adrien, the character that currently takes the role of Chat Noir. Adrien is notable for being attractive enough to be a model, and participates in the fencing club. Oh. He's also Marinette's Crush.

However, these were not the only designs that existed. Some of the earlier ones got pretty weird. Since the only thing that kept them strung together was the fact that this this character was the secret identity of Chat Noir as well as Marinette's Crush.

I'm quite fond of using some of these to depict Nathan.

So it's safe to assume that...

Nathan COULD be a preliminary name chosen BEFORE Felix was chosen- as names and identities were fluid. Early Marinette was Marietta, after all.

Him being in the gym club DOES mirror the fact that in concept work, Felix was noted to be a boxer as well as Adrien being a fencer- and that Marinette often chose to try and impress Felix by getting into athletics herself.

Nathan is labeled as gorgeous enough that Marinette is tempted to misuse her good luck powers to score a date with him. Something that Marinette would do frequently with Felix. Not so much with Adrien, but we're aware of her crush on him so it's hard to argue. With Felix' popularity with girls and Adrien... well.. Adrien being a model and also being fought over constantly....

This is like, an early publication. Its hard to argue that due to how early it is and how much lines up, or that it's fake- the site seems legit, but personally idk.

Also, it could just be a fluke in the report. Maybe this early Chat Noir identity character wasn't really named Nathan? But hey, concept fandom takes what scraps it gets. and pairing that up with how creepy early Chat was.. well, you get the picture. It's all trying ones best to tie up string, it's all fun.

most importantly, it gives me a new character to use. and I will use him for evil. i promise.

hiii <3 can i request ★ canis major! - send me a character + a concept -> i will write some headcanons about it! where richard cameron starts dating charlie's childhood bestfriend?

like at first she's literally flirting with cam all the time but he ignores it bc he thinks she's joking. but eventually he falls for her & (even cam's kind of scared) they tell the other poets about the relationship.

I WOULD RLLY LOVE IT <33

omg that's long hope you don't mind. i need to write a fic about it asap. au where welton has boys and girls!! also first time i write something for cam so i need time to get his character, it might not be extremely accurate!!

no one knows how it happens but they all find it really funny.

no one expected it.

you just had to look at how it started.

you were loud and reckless and he was rolling his eyes at you, sighing.

that wasn't so surprising since you were charlie's childhood best friend and ended up having almost the same personality.

when charlie told you about cameron you just thought he was a boring bootlicker who was going to ruin a part of your best friend's year by sharing the same room.

but when you first met him, you found him more funny than anything else.

when he led his stare on you, his eyes widened and his eyebrow raised. he immediately looked at charlie, why did he bring a girl to a dead poets meeting?

so you just had to tease him, you couldn't help it

you would send him winks across the room

always telling him cheesy compliments

you just loved the way his eyebrows would furrow as he froze.

he didn't like it, he thought you were like charlie and were making fun of him.

if only he knew you thought that was the only way you could get his attention

but cameron couldn't ignore the way he would feel his entire face heating up and the weird knot in his stomach

he couldn't tell anyone though, that would be so embarrassing.

and it hurts a bit to be made fun of by the person you love so he tries his best to ignore it but you don't stop

but pitts eventually finds it and tells cameron to tell you because he "knows" you like him

cam refuses.

one day, he was in a bad mood and you didn't stop flirting and teasing

at a moment he just snapped at you "what do you want?"

you never saw him really mad and you didn't like it

he told you he had enough of you making fun of him but you're confused, you thought he understood.

you then remember something pitts told you, he didn't explicitly tell you but let you understand cameron didn't like you like he liked the others.

so you smiled "Don't you get anything?"

his eyebrows furrowed, even when he's angry all you find to do is irritate him?

he was about to speak when your hand reached for his cheek, tilting his head down and you kissed his lips gently.

he just froze, blushing like he never did

you pulled away, scared it was too much since he didn't kiss you back

"I-I'm sorry. I-I thought" that was so embarrassing.

you were about to walk away when he grabbed your hand and pulled you in a loving kiss

you kissed him back obv

"So you like me huh?"

"Shut up" he said before kissing you again

later, when you have like an open-heart discussion you both decided you wouldn't tell anyone

even though pitts finds out

you waited a few weeks to see how things would go between the two of you

but one day you feel it. it's the day.

you wait for everyone to be gathered in one of the boy's rooms for a study session

you carefully take his hand in yours and you can feel him tense up

pitts looks at you with the biggest smile ever. proud dad asf

the boys feel something was up

you finally tell them

neil groans, knowing he now owns 5 dollars to todd

meeks smiles, he's so happy

knox doesn't get anything

charlie is so confused. never in a million years, he saw that coming

he had to admit he feels a little betrayed

it's a little complicated between the two of you for a few days

but he understands when he found you in his shared with cameron dorm.

you didn't seem to be fine and cam was there holding you and reassuring you

charlie didn't think cam was the type of person caring. he didn't even though he would get a girlfriend, keeping his head in his textbooks.

you both saw charlie was in the room and you quickly wiped your tears and stood up, ready to leave the dorm.

but charlie stops you and tells you it's fine for you and cameron

you are actually so happy, you couldn't afford to choose between your childhood best friend and your boyfriend

in the end, charlie just ends up teasing both of you (especially cameron) and cameron hates it but it's okay because he loves you <3

oh yeah also you keep teasing him ofc but he knows how to answer back now ;)

Pairing: Richard madden x reader

Warning: betrayal, launguage, mention of sex, accusation of cheating.

Chapter-14: who's the father?

When you knocked on Marisa's door you didn't not expect Justin to open the door. Not at the slightest. But you weren't surprised either.

"Justin, great seeing you here." You sarcastically said.

"Y/n." Marisa said from behind.

"I would like to have my pendrive back."

"Y/n, i can explain."

"Can you though?"

"No I can't."

"Where's Elliott?" Justin asked.

"Why do you care?"

"He's my son."

"You said you didn't want him when I told you I was pregnant."

"I thought you weren't pregnant with mine."

Your eyes widened. You were in shock. Why would he think that?

"What gave you that idea?"

"A month before you told me you were pregnant we had a big fight and got back together after 2 days, remember?"

"Yes." You said not knowing where this was gonna go.

"You went to a club to get drunk, didn't you?"

"Yes."

" I was there too. I saw you with Richard. You both were busy doing shots after shots. Then you both kissed.then you both hooked up in the bar restroom cube. I saw you with him at the moment and I realized something. That you never loved me. I was just a replacement and a lookalike of him all along while we dated."

You remember meeting Richard at the bar and getting drunk with him and waking up in your bed but nothing else. You had a terrible hangover the next day.

"You are lying, right?" You spoke up.

"I'm not lying."

"If you knew I had sex with him. Why did you get back with me?"

"I was jealous. I hated seeing you with him. I thought you were only lusting over him but you weren't. You were in love with him. And I couldn't stand it. I was afraid you would start dating him after the bar incident. So I got back together with you as soon as I got the chance."

This situation was so fucked up. No cross, that's an understatement. The situation was more than fucked up.

You were confused as hell whether Richard or Justin was the father of your child.

"What made you change your mind that Elliott was your kid then?" You asked him.

"Honestly I don't know."

You wanted to scream. Everything was overwhelming.

"I would like to have my pendrive back, Marisa. I should've seen your betrayal coming when you started to avoid me but why?"

"Justin is my brother. He sent me to become your friend. He sent me in the hope that Elliott would be his."

You felt like you were standing on the edge of a high building.

"Is it his?"

"You will have to find out for yourself." She didn't tell you even though she knew the truth.

She knew who the father was. She was the only person who knew it. She didn't even tell Justin.

Marisa threw you the pendrive. You caught it in your hands.

"I'm gonna go." You said and left.

You weren't sure how to feel. You weren't sure whether you were supposed to be guilty, sad, betrayed, angry.

There was one question that echoed inside your mind. Who's the father?

Linka and Ron Andy's moments...

On Monday, Ron Andy had just asked Linka if she wanted to hang out at Starbucks where Linka was about to pay but Ron Andy pays for the drink instead and leaves with Linka.

Along the way, Ron Andy wanted to try to look cool around Linka. Until she asks, "Hey so--." She was cut off by a loud gasp causing Linka to look with her eyes, causing Ron Andy to look at her with a cool face.

Linka to see a smiling excited Claire acting like an ecited girl. Linka blushes slightly as Claudia motions her hands to continue their conversation. Linka then continues, "So, I wanted to ask you something for a while now, and well. Why did you picked on me for? I don't think that we met before or if I did something to offend you."

Ron Andy sighs, as he answers, "It wasn't you at all its just that, I, I didn't exactly know to talk to you. You seemed different from the other girls from school which I like a lot. And well, I, thought that pranking you was the best way to do it. To me it was the best to talk to you than--" He was cut off by Linka who kisses him on his cheek and says to him with a smile, "Next time you want to talk, just talk, I won't judge you if you wanted to talk to me. Deal?"

Ron Andy smiles before saying, "Deal."

Three days later at 11:45 P.M...

This the moment that he never expected to happen...

The aftermath...

Week 4 of being a couple...

3 months later, while at school, Linka was hanging out with Claudia while talking about their up coming quiz when suddenly, Roxanne Richard, comes in and says to Linka, "I never thought that you would go out with Santiago."

Linka becomes confused and then asks, "What are you talking about? Me and Ron Andy are not a couple." Roxanne shakes her head, "That's not what--"

Linka cuts her off by saying, "I am not dating, nor going out with him! He's my boyfriend. He is just a friend who just happens to be boy!"

Unknownst to Linka Ron Andy was leaning against the lockers nearby when he heard Linka. He then gets a sly idea for tonight...

That night...
