Question: Do we want Miguel in the sequel or is that done?

Like, logically speaking, he would be investigated and persecuted for stealing data from the presidential server or something right? So that should keep him behind bars? (guys I have no idea how the American criminal/justice system actually works)

Plus at least I think it'd be better to focus on the emotional and social aspects of the outing and just quickly tie up the ends when it comes to the technical aspect so we can focus on the new conflict

But at the same time: One: when Matthew was gathering the rwrb cast like Pokemons, Juan (Miguel's actor) was one of them; Two, I have seen fics where Henry and/or Alex confront and threaten Miguel, very badass doing so, and that might make a interesting scene

So... what do we think?

Michael receives another mysterious letter which leads them to Deep Sky, which houses a machine needed to access the message Nora gave to him. Alex confronts fears related to his military career and war experiences in order to infiltrate. Although he confides in Michael, the alien machine triggers his trauma.

Aka: the Alex angst chapter

[pastelwitchling]

Prompt: Alex is limping but for once it is not because of his leg or Alex Manes deserves having his back blown out by his husbad on the regular.

@joaneteporis

Can you do one where Michael notices Alex limping really bad and thinks his leg is acting up, but in reality he's limping because Michael made love to him really hard the night before and his ass hurts. He doesn't want to make Michael feel bad, so he pretends it's his leg. But eventually Michael finds out the truth. I'm a big fan of your stories. Love these two together. ❤

***

Alex was limping more than usual, and Michael had noticed.

He’d first picked up on it when Alex had come to visit him at the junkyard with lunch from the Crashdown. Michael had groaned at the sight and took Alex’s waist in his hands. “Damn, that looks good.” He shrugged a shoulder. “The food, too.”

Alex snickered, trying to cut off the giggles before they came, but it was too late. Michael’s smile widened as he nuzzled Alex’s jaw, drinking in the sound. No one else could do this, he thought with pride that flooded his chest. No one else could make Alex so carefree. The haunted soldier giggling? Yeah, only for Michael to do, sorry.

“You’re such a dork,” Alex said, his cheeks flushed as he brushed the stubble on Michael’s cheek with his free hand as he always liked to do. “I don’t like you working in this heat, come on, come sit with me. We can eat before I have to head back.”

Michael agreed, and his smile fell the second he saw Alex continue to limp. Sometimes when he got out of the car and he’d been driving for a while after a particularly tough few hours at work, his leg tended to ache, but Michael walked behind him, studying his husband. His limp was way more pronounced, and his brow pinched with very step like the pain was too much to ignore this time. In seconds, he was at Alex’s side, taking his free arm and holding most of his weight.

 Alex blinked. “What’re you doing?”

“Helping,” Michael grunted. “Your limp’s getting worse.”

“Oh,” Alex said, then to Michael’s surprise, he smiled and blushed. “I-I’m fine.”

“You don’t have to pretend for me,” Michael said. “Here, sit down,” and he eased him onto the steps leading up to the trailer, and knelt between his legs, running his hands up and down Alex’s thighs.

Alex chuckled, setting down the bag and cupping Michael’s face. “Baby, I’m fine. Trust me.”

“Are they working you too hard over there again?” Michael growled. “Do I need to talk to Ramos?”

Alex scoffed. “I really have no desire whatsoever to see my husband throw my boss out a twelve-story window, Michael. It’d make going back to work very awkward.”

Michael rested his chin on Alex’s good knee. “I don’t want anyone taking advantage of you.”

“No one’s taking advantage of me.”

“It’s not your fault you’re a genius.”

Alex’s shoulders shook with his laughter. “Oh the burden.”

“They can’t put you on that damn elite floor if they’re just going to make you use the stairs!”

“They’re not making me use the stairs.”

“You’re a different circumstance, Alex, there’s nothing wrong with that!”

Alex looked like he was holding back another laugh. “I know.”

“If they’re pushing you even though they know about your leg—”

“Guerin, it’s not their fault I’m limping,” Alex said, his words coated in quiet laughter. “It’s yours.”

Michael frowned, standing straight on his knees. “What do you mean?” Had he made the ground tremble again without realizing it? Had his powers lashed out and he’d made Alex trip without noticing? Had his alien side come after Alex again and—Michael was sick at the thought—hurt his husband? But then, why would Alex say it with such joy in his eyes? He knew how much Michael hated himself whenever his powers lashed out, so was he just trying to ease the blow?

“Remember two nights ago?” Alex asked, and Michael’s brow furrowed. He shook his head, about to ask what he had done two nights ago that had . . .

Then he remembered. It had been a heated night, the two having been separated because of a three-day work trip Alex had taken. When he’d gotten back, Michael’s hunger and fear at having been away from him had overtaken him, and he’d had Alex naked and in bed minutes after picking him up at the bus station. He’d been a wild animal, the entire night dedicated to thrusting into Alex, burying himself inside his husband and refusing to move for hours. He still felt Alex’s nail marks in his back whenever he moved, a delicious sting that made him hard all over again. A pleased, happy smile was tugging at his lips at the memory when he realized . . .

His eyes widened, and Alex saw the moment the answer hit him, and he burst into the laughter which he’d been holding. Michael, meanwhile, was still gaping. “I-I . . . because I . . .”

“Got it right, baby,” Alex sighed, long and deep, and pressed a loud, smacking kiss to Michael’s forehead.

“It’s my fault,” he murmured, eyes wide and on Alex’s leg.

“Yeah,” Alex said, as though the pain pleased him. “Although, I don’t know if you would’ve had me limping if I’d still had my whole leg, but,” he shrugged, “I’m not complaining.”

Michael’s eyes darkened. He growled, “Oh, believe me, Private, I’d have you limping—what am I saying? I don’t want you to limp at all!”

Alex slid his hands into Michael’s curls and pulled him in, lowering his own head to slot their mouths together. “I love it,” he breathed against Michael’s lips the second they pulled back. “I love the feeling of my thighs burning, I love the way my whole body aches because you held onto me that tightly. Every time I sit down,” he leaned in, his lips brushing the shell of Michael’s ear, and whispered, “I can feel you, deep inside me.”

He leaned back again and Michael, dazed, followed him until Alex was sitting against the door and smiling innocently. “So don’t you dare feel bad. Now.” He held up the Crashdown bag. “You hungry?”

And he proceeded to unload the bag, laying out to-go box after box, while Michael was stuck staring at him, unable to remove his gaze.

“Are you trying to kill me now?”

Alex’s grin widened and he winked at Michael before holding a forkful of pasta up to his lips. “Open up. You’ll need your strength for the rest of the day.”

“Why?” Michael grumbled. “I’m not the one whose whole body hurts right now.”

“No,” he agreed, and his smile hinted at something dark. “But your back still stings, doesn’t it?”

Michael groaned. Alex really was trying to kill him, just by making his heart burst out of his chest. Something, in turn, that Michael knew only he could do. He supposed that made them even.

Geminids Holiday Party

Summary: Michael and Alex agreed to host a holiday party for the peak display of the Geminids meteor shower. They regretted that decision almost immediately. (2917 words)

Notes: For @sun-tomato written for the @rnm-secret-santa event. Happy Holidays!

Read on AO3 or below.

"What the hell were we thinking when we agreed to do this?" Alex flopped down onto the couch, or at least as much he could flop down without majorly fucking up his knee in the prosthetic. 

"It won't be that bad," Michael tried to reason with him.

"It shouldn't be, but this is our first time hosting all of these people in our home, in our home - together," Alex replied. "We had less time to plan our wedding, so my anxiety is probably just over-compensating.

"And how is it you're the calm one about all of this?" Alex asked.

"I've decided that to get through this, I've got to give the least amount of fucks to give while still making enough effort that you don't get Ramos to lock me away at Deep Sky," Michael said jokingly. Well, mostly joking.

"Har, har," Alex replied with a roll of his eyes. "Ok. Let's make a list of yeses and nos for this party," Alex said, and picked up a pad of paper and pen from the coffee table. He labeled it with 'Alex and Michael's Holiday Extravaganza', and drew YES and NO columns. 

"Extravaganza, hey? How fancy do you think this shindig is gonna be?" ask Michael, moderately concerned about what they'd gotten themselves into beyond providing a location and maybe some beer.

"Now you see why I'm freaking out? I've built it up in my head ever since we said yes." Alex chewed on the side of his thumb. "It just felt like 'our turn' to host something with our friends."

"Um, are you forgetting that we had a whole-ass wedding a few months ago?" Michael countered. 

"That was such a group effort because it was so last minute."

So it was decided that they would go it alone, not even beg Isobel to help. They wanted to prove their capabilities. They were two very smart men after all, and one of them even had super powers, for fucks sake, they could do this!

After deciding on a few simple appetizers and snacks to have on hand to keep people from getting drunk too quickly, selecting a playlist of the least annoying holiday songs they could muster, they moved onto décor.

"Mistletoe?" Alex suggested.

"Fuck no, too tacky and too weird even for me - have you read the Wikipedia page for it?

"Should we get a tree?" Someday Michael wanted his own Christmas tree.

"Mmmm, no, or at least not yet. It will take up too much space. We're going to have to move some furniture around as it is." Alex instead proposed instead getting a bunch of lights to wrap around the bigger palms, dracaena, and ficus that were around the living room. "And we can put lights around the windows, and maybe a few strings down the hallway?"

"Anything else?" Michael asked. And then perked up with an idea, "Oh, we could make some simple snowflake garlands. I heard some lady mention it on the phone while I was fixing her car yesterday."

"Those would look nice. But I don't know - how about let's see what all we can get done and decide later if we have time to add some of that."

 "True. Ok, so basically lights. And lots of them." Michael was shockingly excited to get to the decorating. He didn't go full Griswold, but had plans for next year. 

***

It ended up being a good thing that Alex and Michael had agreed to host because Max and Dallas arrived back from Oasis just hours before the party. Had Liz or Maria been in charge of hosting, well, likely the party would not have happened. Liz had not left Max's lap since they plopped themselves onto one of the oversized lounge chairs. As for Dallas and Maria, they were hunkered down together trading stories back and forth, catching each other up on the last few months apart.

And the great return from Oasis gave just another reason to celebrate, and actually took some of the pressure off for having everything just so. The first part of the night mainly ended up with everyone just sitting around and catching up, and that suited them just fine.

Alex leaned into making sure their guests were having a good time. He dipped in and out of conversations, always stepping away to tend to some snack bowl that needed topping up or drink that needed refilling. 

"Since when did you become a trained happy little hostess?" The tone of Michael's question was teasing, but had undertones of naughtiness that could get them both into trouble. Alex started to consider ways in which to end this party early so that he and Michael could just relax and go to bed. But that wouldn't be for a while. 

The original reason they decided to host their party in mid December was actually as a pre-game to peak Geminids meteor shower watching. With their house being on the edge of Roswell, backing onto a mix of agricultural land and undeveloped desert, there was little light pollution to contend with in the backyard, so it was a good place to relax and take in the show the sky was about to put on. They did end up borrowing some comfy patio furniture and lounge cushions from Iz's Woman as Warrior outdoor studio to be able to seat all the guests. 

So many nights spent alone, sitting on that fence near the crash site, or laying in the back of his Chevy, Michael would stare up into the night sky, hoping somewhere out there was home. On the nights of meteor showers he felt especially hopeful that maybe, just maybe, one of those lights was a ship sent to rescue him. 

And then in high school, he and Alex had orbited around one another, most definitely aware of each other's presence. They didn't breach that elliptical orbit until Michael just had to spiral off like his own meteor, burning up upon entering Alex's atmosphere that involved borrowed guitars, kindness, and clandestine kisses. And then finally, way too much later on, he found his home with Alex.

So the meteor shower was comforting to Michael - a metaphor of sorts for the way he used to dream about what was out there for him. And he wanted to share that comfort with his friends and family. Not that he was going to say any of that out loud to anyone, ever. Well, maybe to Alex - someday. But deep down, Alex probably already knew. He'd spent enough time laying beside Michael, staring up at that same night sky.

***

Alex managed to get Sanders alone for a few minutes at the party. He'd been wanting to speak to him for awhile, but hadn't found the chance to make it out to the junkyard on days Michael wasn't working.

"How ya been, kid?" Sanders asked, clapping a hand on Alex's shoulder.

"Pretty good, actually." Alex felt a wash of relief course through his body when he realized how true those words were. 

"Hey, Sanders, I was hoping I could pick your brain about something," Alex asked. Now was as good a time as any.

"Shoot. As long as you don't mean literally," Sanders joked.

"Ha, of course not." Alex moved them a bit further away from the drinks table for the tiniest bit more privacy. "I've been wondering if there were any traditions or memories you tried to create with Michael when you looked out for him when he was younger?" Alex asked, pausing for a sip of his drink as he had a follow-up thought for Sanders to consider. "Or maybe, were there any traditions you and Roy shared with Nora and Louise that they seemed to enjoy? You must have spent Christmas of '47 with them?"

"That was a long, long time ago," Sanders replied. 

Alex noticed a faint wetness in his eyes. "Well, maybe think about it for a couple days and let me know if you remember anything," Alex offered. "Honestly, no pressure."

Alex liked the old guy. He had always been nice to him. And he knew that Michael loved him. "And just putting this out there - we'd love to have you over one day for a nice meal to celebrate the holidays with you." 

"Sounds great, kid. I would love too," Sanders replied, taking his own sip of beer to no doubt hold back his emotions.

***

Rosa showed up to the party a bit later with Arturo - with Arturo and a puppy! She was fostering Comet and couldn't leave it alone lest it destroyed her room. And Arturo brought fresh hot churros so everyone was happy to have them all there!

Alex - and the puppy - disappeared for a LONG time. Michael was left to make sure everyone was having a good time, which honestly wasn't that hard with the 6 different beers types he'd picked up, and everything else the party had going for it.

Eventually Alex returned. He'd obviously been playing with the puppy. Michael wasn't sure if he was more jealous of Comet or Alex.

"Sorry, sorry," Alex said, walking over to Michael, still petting the wriggling puppy in his arms. "I just needed to get my puppy-fix in so that I don't adopt one before we're ready."   

"Noted." Michael leaned in, getting some puppy kisses. He couldn't help but to smile. He'd always known Alex wanted a dog. Hell, he'd wanted one too. "That is definitely something I could get into."

***

The party eventually moved outside once everyone had filled up on snacks and the night sky had fully darkened. Since it was so clear out that night, the desert air was especially chilling. The guests that weren't Oasain or had their own personal space heater to cuddle up to didn't last long with the meteor watching. To keep warm, Michael started a roaring fire in the firepit and Alex pulled the karaoke machine outside. 

In the middle of a rather rousing singalong of 'Feliz Navidad', the flashing lights from a cop car filled the yard.

Deputy Joe came in through the gate casually, almost like he was going to join the party. "Max!" he exclaimed, pulling him into a half hand-shake, half bro-hug. "How long have you been back?"

"Not even 24 hours, and definitely jet lagged," Max replied. "I haven't even been out to my house yet."

"Well, I don't mean to bust up your welcome home festivities, but we've had a noise complaint coupled with lewd lyrics from some of the songs overheard," Deputy Joe explained.

"Did the complaint say which song it was?" Alex asked, but he was pretty sure he could guess.

"The call mentioned something about a particularly offensive version of 'Santa Baby'," Deputy Joe said, flipping through his notepad. "They also mentioned 'loud wailing and the sounds ritualistic torture' coming from the party as well. I didn't take the call, but Betty on dispatch said the person with the list of complaints would continue to call and put her 'tax dollars to good use' unless we came out and shut it down."

Everyone glared at Isobel and Kyle. Their performance of 'Santa Baby' had been particularly uncomfortable for everyone to witness. "What, as if you didn't think my lyric suggestions were a stroke of genius," Isobel said, trying to defend herself.

"You were stroking something," Michael muttered under his breath, wishing he could scrape the sight of Isobel grinding up on Valenti from his memory.

"Anyway," Alex interrupted, hoping to smooth things over with Deputy Joe, "if we promise to stop with the karaoke, does that make us squared away?" 

"I believe so. And maybe keep the singing to the indoors next time," he suggested. Deputy Joe walked over to the gate and pulled it open. He paused and turned, saying, "Don't be a stranger Max. We all miss you down at the station."

"Will do," Max answered, "and take care."

Once the deputy's car rolled out of sight, everyone started talking at once, mostly deriding the song lyric choices of Isobel. "Hey, Kyle was in on it too," she said, trying to deflect the blame.

Kyle just smiled and nodded in a 'yes, dear' kind of way, trying really hard not to put his foot in his mouth and say something that would set Isobel off for real. 

The deputy's visit pretty much signaled the end of the party, plus half of them had to be at work in the morning. After everyone had said their goodbyes, Michael and Alex were left by themselves. They stood next to each other, surveying the damage from the evening. While there was no actual damage to anything, there was quite a lot to clean up.  

"Maybe if we go to sleep now, it will all magically be clean when we wake up in the morning," Michael joked, but was really hoping somehow it managed to be real. 

"Next time, we'll have to book a late night cleaning service for that to come true," Alex promised.

"Next time?" Michael replied in disbelief. "We have to do this again?" He flopped down on the sofa in a huff and started listing all the reasons why this party had been a failure. "Not only did the cops bust up the party, but we had to suffer through terrible karaoke. And then you disappeared for over 30 minutes leaving me to fend for myself. Worst of all, Sanders and Rosa ate the last of the churros, and then there's the clean-up we still need to tackle."

Alex huffed out an affectionate laugh and sat down beside him. "Is that all? Did you get everything?"

"No," Michael pouted. "We got interrupted earlier, so I didn't even get to come."

"Oh riiight, that," Alex joked. "That is definitely something we can fix immediately, if you're up for it."

Michael's face lit up in a smile. "It will give me energy to do all the cleaning."

Alex knew that was a lie, but he was not going to say 'no' to sexy times with Michael.

***

"Please, remind me again why we’re having sex behind a tree?” 

"Because the house is full of guests, we might not have the energy later, and isn't this thrilling?" Michael emphasized each point with a thrust of his hips, his cock sliding deliciously though Alex's tight grip. 

"Totally," Alex replied. His voice dripped with sarcasm, even though it was 100% true. And then he moaned when Michael's hand gave a perfect twist and tug as he worked Alex closer to the edge.

Michael leaned in for a kiss to be sure no one could hear them. In the quiet darkness, with only the stars above as witness, it was as if they were teenagers again.

And then they heard the sound of the back door creaking open and the clatter of claws on the patio. 

"Hurry up Comet, just pick a spot to go pee," Rosa whisper-shouted, her voice cutting through the illusion of privacy Michael and Alex thought they had.

They quickly tucked themselves back into their jeans as gingerly as possible, willing their hardness away. 

The puppy sniffed her way over to the tree they were leaning against and gave a few quick little barks.

"Hey Comet, shhhh, you'll give us away."

"Too late, Alex," Rosa said, laughing as she tugged on Comet's leash.

"Shit, you caught us, uh, stringing up some extra patio lights," Michael tried as an excuse.

"You keep telling yourself that." Rosa led Comet back to the house leaving them alone once more.

Alex sighed. "I guess we better get back in there, then, before she sends everyone else out to interrupt." 

"Promise we'll pick this up later?" Michael begged as they headed towards the door.

***

Feeling bad about messing up the end of the party, Isobel picked up some bagels on her way over to Alex and Michael's in the morning. She also planned to help them tidy up if there was anything left to do.

"Hello, I have bagels," she called out, pulling the door open. "Hope you're not naked!" she added.

And they weren't - but she wouldn't have minded a glimpse at what Alex had going on. Even though they had a whole ass bed steps away, she found them still fast asleep on the sofa. 

As it was still so very early and the sunlight had barely started to roll across the landscape, Isobel decided to put her well honed powers to good use. She felt like a combination of a magical Disney princess, Mary Poppins, and Samantha from Bewitched. All she needed were some singing forest creatures. In no time at all, she had the dishwasher loaded and running, the floor swept and mopped, and had the trash outside in the bins. She even started a pot of coffee hoping that would maybe wake those two sleepy heads up.

She sat sipping her own cup of steaming coffee and taking bites of a bagel loaded with cream cheese, watching Michael and Alex slowly wake.

"Holy shit, Isobel, why are you staring at us like that? What time is it?" Michael's morning voice was gravelly. 

"It's already 9am, and you should be grateful I'm here," she replied.

Alex sat up, stretching, trying to shake the sleep away, moderately regretting falling asleep on the sofa once again. He looked around and noticed it seemed much cleaner than he remembered. "Hey, did you tidy up in here?" he asked.

Isobel replied with a sweet sing-songy voice, "You're welcome."

The end.

Xover Possibility: Scooby-Universal-Doo

This is a limited crossover series I'm now considering.

Scooby and the gang have teamed up with several celebrities and a few famous characters in taking down ghosts and solving mysteries under WB's commission, but let's see what happens if they end up in the Universal Pictures cyber universe and end up doing…well, pretty much the same formula, except with versions of the Universal animated characters.

Here are some possibilities I thought up.

Franchise: Despicable Me Characters teamed up with: Felonious Gru, Lucy Wilde, and three of the Minions Type of monster/ghost: Chronology: before Despicable Me 3 or Despicable Me 4 Guest Voices: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Steve Coogan, and Pierre Coffin Chase scene song: "Chuck Berry" by Pharrell Williams (from Despicable Me 3)

Franchise: the Lorax Characters teamed up with: Ted Wiggins, Audrey, and the Lorax (whom Mystery Inc believes is a mascot) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Michael Cera, Ashleigh Ball, Danny DeVito and Chris Renaud Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: the Secret Life of Pets Characters teamed up with: Katie, Max, Duke, Gidget, and Snowball Type of monster/ghost: Note: The pets will be able to communicate thanks to a translation device Gru briefly lets the gang borrow Guest Voices: Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, a Kevin Hart soundalike, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, and Lori Alan Chase scene song:

Franchise: the Road to El Dorado Characters teamed up with: Modern-day lookalike descendants of Miguel, Tulio and Chel with the same names Type of monster/ghost: Stone Jaguar Guest Voices: Kevin Kline, a Kenneth Branagh soundalike, and Rosie Perez Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Shrek/Puss in Boots Characters teamed up with: Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Wallace & Gromit Characters teamed up with: Wallace & Gromit Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: a UK rock band song

Franchise: Kung Fu Panda Characters teamed up with: "furry cosplayers" Po and the Furious Five (minus Mantis) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jack Black, Kari Wahlgren, David Cross, Lucy Liu, and a Jackie Chan soundalike Chase scene song: Dumpling Warrior Remix (instrumental) from Kung Fu Panda 2

Franchise: Megamind Characters teamed up with: Megamind, Minion, and Roxanne Ritchi Type of monster/ghost: Note: Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate and its TV series would be ignored Guest Voices: Keith Ferguson, David Cross, and Tina Fey Chase scene song: "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osborne

Franchise: Mr. Peabody & Sherman Characters teamed up with: Who else? Mr. Peabody and Sherman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Chris Parnell and a male child actor Chase scene song: "Way Back When" by Grizzfolk

Franchise: Rocky & Bullwinkle Characters teamed up with: Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Kath Soucie, Tom Kenny, and any voice from the 2018 cartoon Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Captain Underpants Characters teamed up with: George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and a reluctant Benjamin Krupp/Captain Underpants Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jay Gragnani, Ramone Hamilton, Jorge Diaz, and either Nat Faxon or Ed Helms Chase scene song: "Captain Underpants" by Weird Al Yankovic

Franchise: the Bad Guys Characters teamed up with: the Bad Guys Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Alex Borstein, and Lily Singh Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Ruby Gillman Characters teamed up with: Ruby and Agatha Gillman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Colman Domingo, Sam Richardson, Blue Chapman, Jaboukie White-Young, and Will Forte Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Mario Characters teamed up with: Mario and Luigi Type of monster/ghost: Bowser Koopa Guest Voices: Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Jessica Diciccio, and Sebastian Maniscalo Chase scene song: Mario video game music

Franchise: Curious George Characters teamed up with: Curious George and Ted the Man in the Yellow Hat Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jeff Bennett, Bill Chott, and Rolonda Watts Chase scene song: n/a

I'm not absolutely certain I'll do this, as I'm already committed to other things. In fact, I might give this series idea to someone more qualified to write crossover mysteries. But still, if anyone would like to suggest types of monsters or ghosts Mystery Inc and their new co-detectives would be facing, I could try to think of the episode plots for them. Also, don't suggest the villains' identities unless through private note, otherwise it would kill the mystery.

_______

When Alex Manes returns from war, he gets a mysterious letter from a young man who looks somehow familiar. That letter leads him to his family’s secret bunker and directly in the path of Michael Guerin and his mission to find answers about his family.

Alex and Michael must navigate their complicated history while following clues from an anonymous pen pal who somehow knows all their secrets and can give advice on how to uncover more alien mysteries and survive their enemies.

Friends get involved. Relationships are tested. Secrets come out. Powers are discovered. Deep fears are faced.

The story takes place the summer Alex returns (the timeline of season 1) and is loosely based off of and inspired by “The Winchesters” (Michael= Mary; Alex= John).

[pastelwitchling]

Alex was so tired. Tired enough that he’d had to leave work early because Eduardo Ramos had taken one look at him and said he didn’t want to see him for the rest of the week. Tired enough that he fell into bed the second he’d changed into sweats and hadn’t gotten up again. Tired enough that he’d left Michael’s text message from earlier on read without a response.

Tired enough that when he’d seen his husband next, it was after waking up from an unplanned nap. A bad sign, as Alex had trouble sleeping on the best of days. Drifting off without noticing did not bode well for where his head was. Michael seemed to realize that as Alex’s groggy vision cleared and he noted the concerned furrow of Michael’s brow.

His head fell back onto the pillow with a heaving sigh. “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Like a man in love?” Michael hummed, brushing Alex’s bangs back. “Sorry, I can’t physically do that.”

Alex chuckled sleepily. “You’re such a dork.”

“I’ll take it,” he shrugged a shoulder, and started to lay down beside him. He still smelled like the afternoon sun and sand from the junkyard and the delicious rain smell that made Alex’s head spin.

“Don’t,” Alex said, “I’m getting up.”

“Why?” Michael said, putting a hand on his waist and grabbing fistfuls of his shirt. “I’m tired too, we can take a nap together.”

Alex smiled, rubbing his eyes. “You’re not tired, you’re worried, and you shouldn’t be. I’ve just had one too many sleepless nights, that’s all.”

Michael pursed his lips, cupping Alex’s jaw and rubbing his thumb across the dark circle under Alex’s eye. Alex’s eyes fluttered to the warmth of his palm, and he turned into it, covering Michael’s hand with his own and breathing him in. He vaguely remembered Maria—what felt like forever ago now—making some joke about how Michael smelled, and he remembered wanting to snap then at her and feeling like he wasn’t allowed to. How did anyone not fall in love with Michael’s scent? He was the sky and earth and everything good about the world, he anchored Alex in a way nothing and no one else did.

“Can’t you just let me hold you anyway?” Michael murmured, his lips quirking with the faintest trace of amusement. “For my sake?”

Alex exhaled shakily, and crawled onto Michael’s lap, straddling him and wrapping his arms around his shoulders, burying his face in the crook of Michael’s neck and closing his eyes.

Michael seemed to sense that he couldn’t or wouldn’t speak, and just rubbed the space between his shoulder blades. Alex melted deeper into him, cuddling as close as he could until Michael was all he was breathing in, Michael’s arms around him and body underneath and around him all he could feel.

“Tighter,” he whispered, not daring to raise his voice any more than that. He didn’t know how else to put his exhaustion and its source into words. “Hold me tighter, baby, please.”

Michael seemed to have been waiting for permission, his grip on Alex almost bruising as he squeezed him to his body. A weak moan rose up the back of Alex’s throat; for the first time all day, he thought he could feel his own heartbeat, his body turning heavy enough that he was sure he was going to fall asleep again despite having just woken up.

“M’sorry,” he murmured, his eyes burning for reasons he couldn’t even fathom. This wasn’t the first time he got like this, when he felt like this inexplicable grief lingered just below the surface, waiting for the chance to show itself, and he knew it wouldn’t be the last. What bothered him though was the inability to talk about it, the inability to tell Michael just why he got like this. Sometimes, it felt like there was no reason for him to grieve, and sometimes it felt like there were too many reasons; too many to name, too many to think of, too many to bear.

“I hate this,” he groaned, brows pinched with the same headache that had been plaguing him all day. If he kept telling himself it was the sleepless nights, he might be able to endure it better. Except that here, in Michael’s arms, it was impossible to not feel safe enough to confess the mess in his head. “I hate . . . I hate this, Michael.”

“I know, baby,” Michael whispered against his ear, inhaling deeply as though he, too, couldn’t get enough of Alex’s scent. “It’s okay, I’m here. You’re okay.”

Alex was so, so tired. He closed his eyes and buried himself in Michael’s warmth, shoving his hands under Michael’s shirt to feel the heat of his skin and get as close as possible. He felt Michael shudder against him, and squirmed until there was no space left between them.

“You want to sleep now?”

Alex considered it. “Can you get something to eat first? I’ll feel bad if you don’t have dinner.”

Michael chuckled. “Sure, I’ll get something to eat.” Alex made no move to get off of him, and Michael made no move to ease his hold. “You want to come with me?”

Alex swallowed. “If you really want me to.”

He could feel Michael’s smile against his ear, Michael’s hand running down his spine. “I really want you to. I can’t eat if you’re not there. Please, baby, for my sake?”

“You’re such a dork,” Alex murmured, pushing his face into Michael’s neck and snuggling into him. “Fine, since you really need me.”

Michael chuckled. “I really do, baby. I really, always do.”

Eventually, Regine Velasquez was seen as a guest of GMA in 2005 when she sang the highest note while recording the 2005 Christmas Station ID “Kapuso, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” but when she sings the highest note, the lights bursted out which surprised the GMA crew members and even Martin Nievera who was a permanent GMA crew member since 1990. But he doesn’t appear in the 2016 Summer Station ID of GMA.

However, Ogie Alcasid, Willie Revillame, CJ Muere, Xian Lim, Luis Manzano, Matteo Guidicelli, DingDong Dantes, Enchong Dee, John Lloyd Cruz, Sef Cadayona, Edgar Allan Guzman, Renz Fernandez, Kokoy de Santos, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Derek Ramsay, Rafael Rosell, Onemig Bondoc, Mark Herras, Vice Ganda, IC Mendoza and Bea Alonzo appeared in other Summer Station IDs because the 2015 Summer Station ID of TV5 which was known as “Happy Ka Dito This Summer!” didn’t have any TV5 crew members having fun in the sun. Instead, The Summer Station ID had Hot Wheels cars and explosions to make a summer a blast. Somehow, John Travolta, the voice actor of Blue the Puppy, The Mascot of TV5 and the character of Disney’s Blues Clues can be heard at the very end as he breaks the 4th wall saying “Goodbye, B****!”. Eventually, The line “Goodbye, B****!” was also used in the 2016 Summer Station ID of TV5 which is “Bery’ Happy Ka Dito This Summer!”. But in the 2015 Summer Station ID of TV5 which is known as “Happy Ka Dito This Summer!” is the only Summer Station ID of TV5 where none of the TV5 crew member appear. The line “Goodbye, B****!” was used in the prototype version of the 2015 Summer Station ID of TV5 but it got scrapped out and was replaced with the line “Look Ma, I’m Roadkill!” by Leonardo DiCaprio from the 1986 movie The Mask.

Eventually, DingDong Dantes and Rocco Nacino already left TV5 in 2015. Due to this, They might have moved to ABS-CBN. But in 2017, Rocco Nacino will return to TV5 and will proposed and marry to Jessie Mendiola after mistakenly breaking up in 2015 that he will move to ABS-CBN. However, Rocco Nacino has engaged to Jessie Mendiola in 2007. Somehow, DingDong Dantes and Marian Rivera made their return to ABS-CBN in 2015 making them the permanent ABS-CBN crew members. Due to this, DingDong Dantes and Marian Rivera were from ABS-CBN from 1992 until 2005. Although they got married in March 17, 2010 and had 2 children. A daughter named Zia Dantes was born in June 13, 2011 and a son named Ziggy Dantes was born in January 30, 2015.

This is also the only Summer Station ID to feature the clips from the 2010 Summer Station ID of GMA which is “All-Stars and the Sun” and the Summer Station ID of TV5 in 2012 which is known as “Iba Ka-Summer ang Kapatid!”. Eventually, The clips are originally recycled in the 2014 Summer Station ID of TV5 which is known as “Pinoy Summer, Da Best 4 Eva!”. Somehow, This includes the clip of Just Lose It by MC Hammer from Art Attack where Vice Ganda waves at the end with child actors in the past like IC Mendoza, Macaulay Culkin, Bea Alonzo and Amber Heard jumping on the bed.
