Love Sweet Love
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi guys!
Happy Steph's day ♥
I'm sorry, I haven't posted for a very long time but I'm working on it. I hope you will love this new Chapter of my Steph's series. You don't have to read the first two, but it's a plus I think.
You can find them here : Lightning Love | Struck By Love
Please enjoy ♥
And Happy Birthday to Steffy ♥
TW : None
Tumblr media
When you come back from the USA, after your injury against Colombia, Steph makes you live in her house. Officially to help you with your injury and because she doesn’t have any stairs in her new house. Which is really a good point, because almost all of the other people who could have offered their help actually have stairs in their home.
Steph and you have been friends since you were teenagers, so no one asks any questions when you mention that you are living with Steph for now.
With time, your things found a specific place in Steph’s house, and she even made some more space in her closet for your clothes. Your Tottenham jerseys are washed with her Arsenal ones, you share the vegemite pots that your grandmother sends you and you sometimes wear Steph’s shirt to sleep.
You love the intimacy between you and how everything is so easy with Steph. She is the most easy-going person in the world, and you are falling in love even harder with her every day.
You’re a little afraid of when it will be time for you to go back to your own apartment. It will probably be soon, because your cast has been removed two weeks ago, and you now have an ankle splint to help you walk. You are supposed to still use your crutches, even if you don’t when you are home. You prefer jumping around on one foot.
It drives Steph crazy.
Steph isn’t home for two days now, she had a game in Liverpool and left with the Arsenal squad. You weren’t able to go to watch her because you had to go to your rehab. So, you went to watch Tottenham playing at home instead, cheering for your teammates. Charli and her fiancé came with you to walk Calvin those two days and for the others walk you just stayed around Steph’s house or went in the garden with him.
When you come back home after the game, a look at the clock tells you that your girlfriend will be home in one hour.
You are so grateful for Steph, her patience while you were injured and all the little attentions she had for you during this time. So, you decided to thank her with a real good meal tonight, with all the romanticism you have in you.
You set the table with a red tablecloth, a vase with some roses in the middle of the table and some candles. You listened to the florist talking about the number of flowers for the bunch of flowers, not even knowing before that the number had a meaning. Coming back home, you thought a little bit about your ex-girlfriends and wonder what they would think about your behavior.
You kind of explained to Leila what happened with Steph, without giving her the name of your girlfriend. But you needed to explain to her the reality of your feelings and why things didn’t work between you two.
For dinner, you chose Steph’s favourite meal, and you ordered the ingredients needed to be delivered to you here. It’s way easier for you like this, doing your shopping in crutches would have been way too complicated.
Steph’s car wheels squeak on the gravel in front of the house several minutes after. You jump between the fridge and the table with the starters when Steph opens the door.
A cream and red flash passes next to you when Calvin runs to great Steph, making you smile softly. You distinctly hear Steph cooing and greeting Calvin back, before coming in your direction.
“No! Don’t come here! Close your eyes!”
“Why? What have you done?”
You jump on one foot in her direction, seeing that Steph had in fact closed her eyes. She looks so cute with her low bun, her scarf and her training clothes that you can’t help yourself but steal her a kiss.
You feel her smile against your lips and then kiss her cheek when she talks.
“Is it to distract me about the fact that you are walking without your crutches?”
“No” you giggle. “Can you walk without opening your eyes please?”
You take her bag from her hand and put your hands on her shoulder to walk easier towards the table. You make her stop and move to be able to watch her reaction.
“Ok, now you can open your eyes” you say when you are in the right place.
You totally ignore the table you settled a little bit before, your eyes only looking at her. Steph’s eyes go wild for a moment while she takes everything in sight. You are suddenly nervous, wondering if it’s maybe too much. Or stupid? You never talked about it finally, but isn’t a girl supposed to like being surprised?
Maybe it’s not a good idea finally, after being away Steph maybe just wants to take a shower and go to bed.
“Did you do all of it yourself?” she asks finally, turning to face you.
“Yeah” you nod, fidgeting with your fingers. “I wanted to thank you properly for the way you took so good care of me while I was just like a burden hurt teenager. I am really thankful for you and your patience and your kindness”
You are totally rambling now, talking a little too fast and almost breathless. You weren’t looking at her while talking, looking at the flowers in the middle of the table. But when you feel her grab your hand, you look at your girlfriend again.
“You have nothing to thank me for, I did it because I wanted it. Even if you are terrible to look after, you little troublemaker”
You smile shyly and let yourself relax when she hugs you. You pass your hands around her neck, taking advantage of your position to breathe her scent. You really missed her.
“Do you mind if I go take a shower quickly before we eat, though?”
“No, it’s a great idea. You stink” you smirk.
You giggle when she smacks you behind your head, clinging against her when she pretends to push you away.
“You’re so mean”
“Yes, but I made diner”
She rolls her eyes and smiles before you let her go. She doesn’t smell at all, but you totally understand the need to take a shower and refresh herself after a long travel day.
You lean on the furniture behind you, looking at her leaving to go to the bathroom.
“Steph?” you call her just before she closes the door.
“Yeah?”
You look at her curious face exceeding the port frame two seconds before smiling softly.
“I really missed you”
Her eyes go soft, and you would literally die for the smile coming on her face right now. There is a tenderness in her eyes, and you sometimes are still surprised when you realise that it is destined to you.
“I missed you too” she says softly. “I’ll be quick, okay?”
“Yeah” you smile back.
You look at her going inside the room again, before jumping back towards the kitchen.
“Use your crutches!” you hear her shout from the bathroom.
You roll your eyes again before deciding to oblige and go to look for them. You don’t really know where you left them, and you finally spot them next to the door of Steph’s bedroom. Then you go back to the kitchen and start to warm up a little what you will eat after the starters.
A little lost in your thoughts, you don’t hear Steph coming back. She takes you by surprise, passing her arms around your waist and kissing your cheek at the same time. You almost jump off your skin, which she seems to find very funny.
“You’re so annoying” you grumble, even if you are smiling.
You just can’t resist her laugh.
“I’m sorry. What can I do to help you?”
“Just put your ass on that chair, Catley”
“As you wish”
You weren’t expecting her to take you in her arms, carrying you like a bride, to the table. She then puts you in your chair before sitting in front of you. That wasn’t exactly how you were picturing things, but it’s maybe better like this. At least you aren’t scowled one more time because of those damn crutches.
You have to admit that you are pretty satisfied about how you were able to cook everything. You like cooking, you sometimes don’t have the time or even the energy to do it. But today you really liked cooking for your girlfriend.
After the diner, you went for a quick walk with Calvin and then to the living room. Arsenal men are playing, and it probably will be a good game. You take advantage to snuggle against Steph, happy to find her arms back. She absently strokes your back under your shirt while watching the game, talking sometimes about something that comes into your minds.
“Dean wrote to me earlier today” Steph says casually.
You feel your heart missing a beat and a strange feeling in the bottom of your stomach. All the fun you had after sharing Calvin's last mischief in the park is now very far away.
“What did he want?”
Your tone is flat, probably giving Steph a hint that you may not be handling this information as easily as you should.
“He wanted to see Calvin”
You can feel her eyes on you, but you look straight in front of you, looking at the TV screen without really looking at it.
“I thought Calvin was your dog only, not his?” you frown.
“He’s mine only, but he still wants to see him again”
You just hum for any answer. You don’t believe it for a single second, in your opinion it’s just an excuse to be able to see Steph again. You know that your girlfriend is the one who ended the things between them. Now that some time has passed, maybe he wants to see if they maybe could get closer again.
You don’t like the strange feeling, now not only in your stomach, but in all your body. You maybe are with Steph for several weeks even months now, but you still don’t take your relationship for granted. You are fully aware that you can lose Steph at any time. Few people know about your relationship after all, it would probably not mean much in the eyes of the world. To yours, however, it would be worse than anything.
On another hand, you can’t tell her that you don’t want her to see him. You won’t take that right.
You raise your eyes on Steph when she pokes at your ribs, to see that she’s still looking at you.
“You know that if I ended things and cancelled my engagement with him, it’s for a good thing, right?”
“Of course” you mumble, looking at the screen again.
She already told you that he might have a thing with a girl he was talking to while they were still together. But other than that, you never really asked about him. Steph never mentioned him either, to be fair.
“Are you still talking to him regularly?” you ask finally, raising your eyes on her again.
“Nope. It was the first time he wrote to me since Christmas. You’re the one being friend with your ex”
She’s right here. Since the confessions you made to Leila, you and her are friends again. She started throwing teasing comments on your Instagram’s post again and you call each other from time to time.
“If it bothers you…” you begin while sitting.
“Not at all” she smiles “It was just to point out that you are still in contact with one of your exes too. But I trust you.”
“I trust you too. But Leila knows we are together. Your ex doesn’t even know that you aren’t single anymore.”
“I’ll let him know, okay?”
She’s looking at you with so much affection that you can only smile back at her. You feel your body relax again and you cuddle closer to her again.
“Okay” you say, burying your face in her hoodie.
********
Several days later, you are finally able to walk without any crutches, having received the green light from the physio team. You don’t feel any discomfort in your foot anymore and it’s a really good point.
In fact, you were even able to train with the rest of the team today and that makes you happier than ever. You probably won’t be able to play that weekend, but it’s obvious that it will be okay for next week.
You are practically hopping when you come home that day, parking your car next to Steph’s one in the driveway. You frown when you see that there is another car too, not recognizing it like Beth’s car or even one of her teammates. In your memories, no one is driving a Skoda.
Like usual, Calvin comes to greet you when you arrive, this time silently stroking himself around your legs. You pet him, before hearing voices coming from the living room.
“I just… It doesn't make any sense to me. I thought you were friend with her, nothing else”
Dean. What the hell is he doing here? You frown again, taking two steps to be able to hear better what is happening in that living room. None of them heard you coming in.
“Nothing ever happened while we were together, Dean” you hear Steph sigh.
“Still. She just waited for us to be over to shoot her shot?”
“Not at all. She doesn’t even say anything, I kind of pushed her to know about her breakup at Emily’s wedding and… Well, you don’t have to know everything, but I was the one figuring out alone her feelings for me. Then all clicks and it was like evidence”
There is a beam of silence, only broken by Calvin chewing with application one of Dean’s shoes. You let him do it with a cold satisfaction. You don’t like the way that man tries to make you pass for the one corrupting Steph in the wrong way.
In contrast, you love the way Steph doesn’t share everything with him. It belongs to you and her, not him.
“And just for the record, you were the one getting over it very quickly with that girl from your medical team”
“It wasn’t serious. She was just a rebound”
“You were talking with her when we were still together.”
You can easily picture Steph, her eyebrow arched, and her arms crossed on her chest.
“It was a mistake” he sighs. “I shouldn’t have done that. If I knew it would push you to end things between us, I wouldn’t even have looked at her.”
“She wasn’t the reason for our breakup. I mean maybe a small part of it, but it wasn’t the big deal. What I said at this point was valid and still is. I just don’t have any love feeling for you anymore”
Must be painful to hear, but at least you have to give credit to Steph for standing her ground and being clear with him. You empathise a little bit with him though, you will be destroyed if Steph ended things between you. Even if you never will talk to someone else like he did.
“Okay but what will you do when you will want to start a family? You won’t even be able to do it together”
Okay, we are now finished with empathy. Maybe now is the best time to make your appearance. You go for the door again, opening it without any discretion.
“Love, I'm home!” you shout happily while almost slamming the door.
You take off your shoes quickly without even untie the laces, petting Calvin’s head.
“Living room” you hear her answer.
Deciding to put it more in the show, you start to talk while you are still outside the room.
“Did you know that Hayl… Oh. Hi.”
Dean and Steph are both standing in the room, separated by at least two meters from each other. You look at the both of them, taking the situation. He seems upset and doesn’t answer anything, and you drag your gaze away from him when Steph talks.
“Hi Sweets. How was training?”
“Great”
You smile at her and hesitate to go for her, but when she raises her arm to invite you to hug her, you don’t hesitate. You pass your arms around her waist, kissing her cheek softly. You don’t want to push things too far either, you know she won’t like it.
You cringe a little at the silence coming after that, exchanging a glance with Steph. You want to know what the hell is this guy doing here, but you don’t really know how to ask that question.
“Dean informed me that he found some of my things in his boxes and wanted to give them back” Steph informs you.
You probably will be forever grateful at how much Steph knows you and seems to read into you. You just nod before turning your eyes toward him. He was already looking at you and you know that look perfectly. He seems to be jealous of your proximity, but you won’t move.
Maybe it’s a stupid thing to want to mark territory, but you don’t want him to pop randomly at Steph’s door, now that he knows where she lives. Anyway, you don’t take your hand off of your girlfriend’s back.
“Lucky you were home” you finally answer.
“I didn’t realise I needed to ask for approval to see my ex-fiancée” he growls.
“She lives here too, actually” Steph intervenes before you even can open your mouth “She has her words to say”
You use your better poker face at this, because you totally aren’t living here officially. Now that you are able to walk correctly you could probably go back to your home, but you never really left. Steph never asked you to do and never made you feel like you were too much here.
“I have to go” Dean finally says. “I have training”
You don’t move but Steph nods, saying goodbye too. You can’t hide the smile creeping on your face when you hear him grumbling when he finds his chewed shoe, Calvin now sleeping peacefully on his bed next to the couch.
You love that dog.
When the door is closed, you feel Steph take a deep breath and lean a little more against you. You realised how tense she was, but you are surprised by such a relief.
“Are you okay?” you ask quietly, kissing her temple.
“It was the first time I saw him since I left our home” she explains to you. “I told him I was seeing someone without saying your name, but he didn’t want to leave before knowing how you are. I’m sorry, I don’t think we will be able to hide our relationship for any longer”
“It’s not a problem for me” you shrug. “People have known that I love women since my teenage era. What about you, though?”
“I don’t know” she begins slowly. “I haven’t any problem with Kyra knowing it to be honest. But maybe I’ll need to talk about it to my family first”
“Okay. If you need me, just tell me, yeah?”
Stephs smile softly at you, and you kiss her for good this time. The kiss is soft and slow, and you feel her thumb stroking your cheek softly.
“So, what did Hayley do?”
********
Later that day, you are looking at the ceiling, lost in your thoughts. Even if you tried all the rest of the day to forget about Dean and what he said, some things are dancing in your mind.
Did Steph and him talked about starting a family? And if it was the case, why does it bother you so much? They planned to get married; you shouldn’t be so disturbed with that. You know you are lucky to finally be with the girl of your dreams, but that strange feeling in the bottom of your stomach won’t go away.
You tried to distract yourself by cooking with Steph, playing some video games with her and telling her about your first training back since your injury, and it went pretty great to be honest.
But now with Steph under the shower and Calvin sleeping, you are alone with your thoughts.
“I was waiting for you to come with me”
Steph’s teasing voice makes you smile softly. You turn on your side to look at her when she enters the room, wearing a big shirt and probably panties, even if you can’t see them given the size of that shirt.
“You are the most beautiful girl in the world” you mumble.
Your smile grows wider when she rolls her eyes and makes one grimace of her own. You love her with her hair down.
“That’s true!”
“It’s not” she giggles while coming with you under the cover.
“Yes it is”
You let her have the time to lie on her back before you lay on her, sighing with ease. It’s your favourite spot in the world. You enjoy her stroke in your hair while she scrolls on her phone for several minutes, before starting to draw shapes on her hips with your fingertips.
“I can hear your brain boiling, Sweetheart” Steph finally says. “What’s going on?”
You bite your lips softly, looking for a way to approach things. Because she doesn’t know that you heard a big part of her conversation with Dean, and you don’t want to upset her. Your silence pushes her to try to guess what’s in your mind.
“Is it football related?” she asks first, and you shake your head no. “Is it about us?”
“Kinda” you hesitate. “I just…”
“Is it about something you heard earlier?”
Damn. You look at her, stunned, torn between guilt and amazement. You can see the ghost of a smile on her face and her eyes shining with fun.
“Do you think I really don’t know you?”
You roll your eyes with a smile, accepting the teasing easily. She doesn’t seem mad, and she waited for you to show something to talk about it. You really don’t deserve that girl.
“I didn’t want to intrude. I didn’t know it was him” you shrug.
“I knew it the second you passed the door” she smirks, making you smile too. “Plus, I don’t have anything to hide from you. What part of the discussion is playing with your head?”
Sitting on her hips, you pass a hand in your hair. You don’t know how to express yourself and how to tell her things. Once again, you don’t want to fight with her. But you promised each other early in your relationship that you will always discuss and talk about things, not to drag any misunderstandings along.
Steph waits patiently, looking softly at you while playing with the edge of your shirt. You finally decide to go straight to the point, it will be easier like this.
“When he talked about having a family. Is it something you discussed together?”
You try hard to fight against the pictures coming in your mind, focusing on your girlfriend’s pretty face.
“Not really” she frowns. “We were both into sport and I don’t think it was time for us to have this conversation. He was very traditional you know, first dating then living together, then engagement… One thing at time”
It does make sense actually. You nod softly, trying to process this information.
“But was it something you wanted?”
You watch her looking at you with a little bit of… angst maybe? That doesn’t seem good and just when you were going to tell her that you finally don’t want to know the answer to that question, she starts to talk again.
“No, not really. It’s very selfish but I wanted to finish my career before even thinking about it”
Oh. That wasn’t what you were expecting. It’s probably strange to feel a little relieved about it.
“It’s not selfish” you assure her with a smile, redrawing the features of her face with your fingers. “We, women, have to choose between sport or baby. It’s so stupid”
She nods softly, suddenly lost in her thoughts. It looks like things were exchanged because several minutes before you were the one thoughtful. Now you feel lighter than ever.
“What is it?” you ask, tilting your head on the side.
“What about you?”
“I was never serious enough in my relationships to even talk about it” you roll your eyes.
“That doesn’t mean you don’t want to have kid one day”
She has a point. You feel your cheek getting redder because to be honest, the idea of you and Steph with a little kiddo running with Calvin in a big garden is something you would love. Maybe even back in Australia, who knows.
“I do want kids, but not carelessly. I want to have time for them, all of that…”
“Okay” Steph smiles softly.
“And a great mummy to raise them with me” you add, winking at her.
“Okay” Steph says again, laughing this time.
“But not now, though”
“Not now”
Steph repeats your sentence before suddenly grabbing you by your hips to change your position, making you lie under her while she straddles you.
“We have something else to discuss first” she says.
“Oh, do we?”
“Yeah. What do I need to do for you to live officially here? Lose your keys? Burn your house?”
“You just have to ask” you laugh.
“In that case… Would you like to live here with me?”
“I’d love to”
She smiles at you with so much tenderness that you feel your heart almost burst with love. Taking her gently by the collar of her shirt, you drag her towards you to kiss her. She doesn’t wait any second to kiss you back, making you smile against her lips.
“You’re such a dork” you giggle shortly after.
“You love me, though” she answers, her head now on your shoulder.
“I do. You don’t know yet how much I do”
“I love you too.”

Sick days
A/N: This is the last part of a previous request, I'm really happy that you have enjoyed the last two and I hope you enjoy this one. I've based off myself a little bit, just job wise really 🤷‍♀️
Arthur Leclerc x reader
Synopsis: "Maybee some of the care for her when she's sick 🥹🥹"
Warnings: sick reader, soft Arthur
Tumblr media
You loved your job, getting to watch kids before and after school when their parents would drop them off early or pick them up late. You loved working with the different age groups, doing activities, and running around with them. It wasn't until you got sick that you realised that working with kids might not be completely good. You wake up on a Saturday morning, your sinuses are blocked up, you've got a pounding headache, and your joints ache.
You mentally curse yourself for getting sick, you knew it was from work since you haven't been anywhere else lately. What made it even worse? Arthur has a week off. You're supposed to pick him up from the airport tonight. Luckily you decided to gradually clean your shared apartment throughout the week, so everything has already been done. You gradually get up, heading to the kitchen to get breakfast. You put down 2 pieces of toast, spreading butter and vegemite on them when come up (I am an AUSTRALIAN. Vegemite toast is like a medical remedy for sick days, do not judge me 🫶).
After finishing breakfast, you move on with your day. You head to your home gym, hoping to get a little cardio done. You managed to make it through an hour on the treadmill before your sinuses became too much. You quickly shut it off before running to grab a tissue and pump yourself with more anti-cold tablets. You made it to the shower, washing off the sweat.
You spent the rest of the day in front of the tv, trying to relax and clear your cold up as much as you could. Arthur's plane was arriving at 9pm, so you knew you had to leave at 8pm. It was 7pm when you realised you must shower and get ready to pick your boyfriend up.
After parking at the airport, you made your way in to find Arthur's gate. You had about 20 minutes to go until he walked through the doors. Your nose was still stuffy and you had a bit of a cough, better than this morning but still not great. You sat on a bench, watching as his plane rolled up and connected to the ramp. He was the first person out of the door, frantically looking around until he spotted you.
He broke into a grin and picked up speed, you stood up and broke into a run. Bodies collided in a bone-crushing hug in the middle of the airport, your arms around his neck as he gripped your waist. He pulled his head back, and you let go and grabbed his luggage, avoiding his kiss so you wouldn't get him sick. You linked your hand with him, pulling his luggage behind you. He didn't move, letting go of your hand and pouting as you turned around.
"Baby, what are you doing?" slightly amused by his reaction, you moved closer to him. He mumbled under his breath, "What did you say?" you asked him. "You didn't kiss me" he said through his pout. You giggle a little when you answer, "Arty, I've got a cold, I don't want to get you sick on your time off". He gave you a massive eye roll when he said "Seriously, love? You know I don't give a shit of your sick or not, I'll gladly get sick if it means I still get to kiss you"
You laugh as you reach up to cup his cheek, "I think you might be going soft, baby" you joke. "I don't care" is the only thing you hear as he brings his hand to the back of your head and connects your lips in a mind-blowing, firework show of a kiss. You both make your ways back to the car and head home for the night. Lo and behold, you wake up the next morning with no cold symptoms. However, your boyfriend is shivering and sniffling. "I told you, baby" you says as you big spoon him, "Shut up", he responds, "I still love you, even if you got me sick" he chuckles. "I love you too, Arty"

“and this is...?” — or an alt title: secret santa time (and maybe santa’s secret too?)
it’s that time of the year!
a/n hehe this was fun to write and i had more fun looking for gifts for her
THE KANGAROO VS. THE WORLD
Tumblr media
“who is it?” the interviewer asked, trying to read the expression on the driver’s face as she reads the small piece of paper.
she nods with satisfaction, turning the paper around to face the camera. on it read: oscar piastri.
“i’m actually alright with this.”
“yeah?”
“yeah, i feel like i could do this. i’m happy with this.”
“would you consider yourself and oscar close?”
the driver made a face in thought before she spoke, “uh—not really. i mean, if i’m being honest, i haven’t really been that great of a person this entire year—like, i’m just going to say this, cause, y’know, it’s not really a secret, everyone’s noticed it: i’ve been pretty distant from everyone so really, i haven’t exactly took the time to get to know this year’s rookies, especially oscar.” she paused, mulling over everything she just said, “why did i feel like i just ended up oversharing?”
she chuckled awkwardly before (still very much awkwardly) leaving—she bowed her head slightly, for some reason.
Tumblr media
“okay, i was definitely way ahead of myself.”
the younger girl looks up from her textbook to see her friend flopping down on the single couch on her front left, huffing then turn towards her.
“help me.” she said, then noticing the large textbook in her hand, giving her a judgy look, “what the hell are you doing? it’s winter break.”
daisy-mae rolled her eyes, “for you, yeah, me; i still gotta suffer for a couple more weeks.” then remembering something, “actually—no, you’re in this too!��
she shrugged meekly, eyes turning downward avoiding her friend’s slowly death-turning glare.
“no!” the brown-haired girl whined in disbelief.
“yeah—”
“dude!”
“sorry, chee.”
“you graduated early?!”
“i’m sorry, okay! they offered me and by proper calculations it was the better option! i was dying enough already this year i needed to at least let go of one weight!”
daisy-mae scoffed, “is there anything you can’t do?”
from across the room came a snort, “math.”
the racer pointed at her standing friend in agreement.
“whatever.” she huffed, going back into her book. “—congratulations. can’t believe you didn’t tell me.”
“i didn’t see the big deal.”
oh now she really brought her out.
at that, daisy-mae abandons her textbook and faced her friend, “are you kidding me?! you graduated university all-the-while being a very busy athlete? it’s more than important! we could’ve celebrated!”
roo couldn’t help but smile at her best friend. she truly didn’t deserve her.
nika, unbothered to the previous conversation, walked over with an open tub of ben and jerry’s and flopped down next to where daisy-mae sat on the large couch.
“we’re getting off topic here—”
“dude! that’s my last one!”
ignoring the flat-owner’s complaint, she continued after a spoonful of the ice cream, “—so, piastri?”
at that, roo covered her face and groaned loudly.
“so dramatic.” commented nika, grabbing another spoon, “he is australian, correct?” by now the racer had moved seats and snuggled herself next to the last spot on nika’s right on the couch—the three of them now smushed together on the same couch.
“yeah, so?” she replied, taking the spoon off of her friend’s hand and grabbing one bite of her own.
“get him a big jar of vegemite or something,” she says as she swallows her ice cream and snatching the spoon back from roo.
the latter blinked, the girl on the other side of the couch stopped in her tracks too, both of them then slowly turning their head to look at the girl in the middle happily scooping another spoonful.
roo then moved her eyes to look at daisy-mae instead, “is it bad that i’m considering that as an option?”
“a little.”
then, out of the blue, the racer’s eyes widened in revelation and without saving another word she bolted off the couch into the corridor into all the rooms. leaving nika and daisy-mae to stare at each other in confusion.
minutes later, she came back holding a basket of her (daisy-mae’s) crochet supplies.
the two girls paid her no mind as they all went back to their own things.
Tumblr media
“tada!”
nika, unable to hold it in, accidentally let a squeak escape her.
roo’s shoulders slumped at that, her expression falling to an unamused one. “you’re the worst.”
“i’m sorry, i’m sorry! it’s cute! seriously,” then she burst out a little (big) laugh, “like a toddler had made that.”
“alright,” still very much unamused, she dropped the attempted kangaroo crochet in her hand to her side then moving to walk away.
atticus, ever the great friend he is, walked over to her front and grabbed both her shoulders affectionately, “it’s okay, it really is cute. it’s the thought that counts.”
“sunny, i assure you, no one wants my thought.” she countered, walking away towards the couch. “may as well order that vegemite now.” she grumbled, sitting next to the cat and dog happily snuggling on her couch. petting the cat, she complained once more, “i don’t get it, i can literally crochet anything else but a kangaroo? i’m the kangaroo.”
confused, nika furrowed her eyebrows—now sitting comfortably on the couch next to her friend, “the hell does that gotta do with anything?”
“it means that, if i’m the kangaroo and i can’t crochet a kangaroo what does that mean for myself—like, do i even know myself?”
the other three in the room blinked, looking at each other as if the other would have an answer.
alas, nika was the first to comment, giving the racer a judgy—and confused still—look, “you just gave me an aneurysm. look; it means nothing, okay? just because you have a psychology degree now does not mean you gotta overanalyze everything, seriously.”
taken aback, she looks at her friend, “have i really been doing that?”
“yes. now just wrap the damn gift.”
Tumblr media
“wow.” the australian opened the paper bag and grabbed the first thing he saw. holding it up with his hands, he inspects it closely, “this is…” he trailed off, still looking at the item in his hands, “—what is this?” he chuckled awkwardly asking the person behind the camera.
they couldn’t help but laugh too, though much more genuine, less confused, “i think it’s a kangaroo.”
he paused. inspect it once more before looking back at the camera, “—you think?”
in response, they just shrugged.
oscar, still in doubt, stares at the deformed plush of sorts for another good minutes before moving on.
his face unchanged in its usual flat state, though his eyes gave away the slight shift in his mood when he pulled out the large yellow jar of vegemite out of the paper bag.
showing the logo to the camera, he says while dead-staring into the camera (again), “very nice. thank you to—whoever.”
“can you guess who it’s from?”
still inspecting it—though now trying to figure out who it’s from rather than trying to figure out what it is, he looks back into the camera and tried to guess her name first.
and to his surprise (but also not really), “it is!”
“ohh, alright. i mean, i always thought she was someone who crochets but i never thought…” he wanted to finish his thought, he did, until he remembered that his actions has consequences and he isn’t exactly fond of facing the consequences.
“there’s a note,” the person informs.
oscar then looked into the paper bag once more, finding the said note. when he pulled it out, the small card had two cartoon dogs with reindeer ears on and a cat with a santa hat in the middle, below it says ‘meowry christmas!’ he chuckled at the cover then continue to open it.
“merry christmas, oscar! (or is it ‘aurscar’?),” he read then looking towards the camera, “that’s a first,” then he goes back to reading the card, “i promise i’m not this bad. i am actually very good at crocheting other things but i hope you like your gifts! love, me!” he finished reading and put the card down on the table in front of him, grabbing hold of the two gifts back up, he smiles, “thank you, for the gifts. i appreciate them especially the vegemite, i think. from one kangaroo to another.”
Tumblr media
“are you excited?”
“very.” she says with a smile, hands ripping open the wrapping heartlessly.
she had already tried to guess what was inside, feeling a soft plush-like feeling underneath the crispy deer-patterned wrapping paper.
“how thoughtful of you,” her publicist comments sarcastically at her unwrapping skills.
ignoring her tone, she continues to break apart the paper, “why thank you, did you know how hard it was making oscar’s gift?” she paused her abuse on the wrapping paper to look at the camera—seriously? jokingly? no one knew.
finally, she was met with the gift(s) in hand. the first thing she saw being the large kitten plush inside of a wicker basket and she instantly recognize it.
“it’s the rock-a-bye kitten jellycat!” she exclaimed with the biggest smile on her face, showing off to the camera her large kitten in wicker basket. when she picked it up, she could feel the heaviness the basket carried—heavier than what a plush would weigh. her first instinct was to take the cat out of the basket and when she did, she couldn’t hold in the laughter that made its way to her lips. her smile was wide enough already before, the sight she was met with somehow made her smile bigger. she pulled it out and faced it to the camera, “guess we know who this is from,” she smiled goofily holding up the calendar with the white man’s ass on it.
still laughing, she puts the calendar down white a head shake, “thank you, valtteri! now i don’t need to find one for next year.”
when she thought she was done, the woman behind the camera informs, “there’s another one.”
“huh?” she looks at her confusedly before shuffling around the torn up pieces of paper on her lap. when she saw what was left in it was, her jaw dropped.
pulling them out, she puts at the camera, “new drumsticks!” she inspects the two pieces on her hand with a small smile, “ah! and it has my nickname on them too!” still pouting in disbelief she smiles at the camera, “this is so good. thank you, again, val, such great gifts.” then she remembered, “oh, right! the card! hold on,”
she shuffled for the card once more and open it happily, “‘dear, kid, merry christmas, i hope you have a great one, here’s some things i know you’d like and a little something for next year. always a pleasure working with you.’” she smiles looking as if she was holding back a cry and hugged the card to her chest.
she waves with a smile at the camera, “kiitos valtteri! hyvää joulua!”
(“thank you, valtteri! merry christmas to you!”)
Tumblr media
bonus, 2022:
“so, who did you get?”
she smiles, “lando!”
“any idea what you’re going to give him?”
she pauses with a hum in thought, then a smile cracked in her lips. looking into the camera mischievously, “his first win, maybe.”
(she did not, in fact, got him that. she crocheted him a frog hat and one of those singing fish wall decoration.)

I always want to talk about Nova! Tad obsessed.
So I remember you saying maybe to 🦆 anon about Nova and Luke taking a while to date, 8 months I think. Anyways reasons for that one you mentioned was her Dad...
When Nova realises that there is something there more then friendship with Luke, wants to date him and be all freaken cute together she sorts Sid's advice?!? What do you think he says? I mean it's his baby girl telling him about a boy and her past experiences have been less then steller. Soooooo I'd think he'd be one thing to her, but does he like have a little vent to Kris or Gino about this Hughes kid wanting to date his little girl
-🎀
Ps. Gosh I bloody love we can use some aussie slang! Can I mention that I have a mad craving for chicken twisties rn 😫
Ps again . Without sounding super cliche I totes want to change my 🎀 to a 🐨
Aren’t we both!
Oh my god, that’s such a good idea. Tbh I have the worst headache atm so I won’t write it out now. (My writing gets shitty)
but Sid’s advice would to wait cause novas anxiety go really bad and her trust issues did too, and she’s terrified of Luke leaving her because ‘she’s too much’.
but yeah, there is a pow wow involved. Also I feel like Novas ex doesn’t get enough recognition for being an absolute dick.
CHICKEN TWISTIES SLAP! Have you had them slathered in Vegemite?
yes! My Koala anon!
P.S: you want to know any short stuff, preferably something low brain power? Sorry 😭 I’m positively dying. Like question about Nova or to me. I’m happy to answer!

Yoü & I [1.8]
Tumblr media
Masterlist
A/N: woohoo! Two chapters in one day! 🤙
Warnings: mentions of drug use
Tumblr media
The food was beyond delicious. Maria and her cousin, Andrea, had spent the day cooking up all these little finger foods for the guests to snack on. They were the cutest things the girls had ever laid eyes on and Maria was pretty proud of herself. 
Charlotte had a little paper plate in her lap with three little sandwiches of smoked salmon and cream cheese and sausage pastry puffs. She was listening to another guests recent travels through South Africa, not paying attention when Luke would reach over now and again and try to steal some food off of her, just to annoy her. Grabbing a sausage puff with a toothpick, waiting for Charlotte to glare at him and grinning like a little shit as he quickly shoved the piece into his mouth. Charlotte glared at him every time.
"Piss off, dude!" she laughed, much to everyone's amusement, "Go get your own!"
"But Michael took the last sausage puff!" he whined, goading her with puppy-dog eyes. 
"Well, that's not my fucking problem," she pouted back, "Eat the salmon ones,"
"Ew, no," he shook his head.
"What if I put vegemite on it for you?" 
"... We can discuss it," 
Soon after the party quieted down long enough so they could all sing Happy Birthday to Maria. Afterwards, they cut into the cake and dipped into the freshly-heated bougatsa. Luke and Calum were immediately transported to heaven at the first bite. 
"Holy fuck, I missed this stuff," Calum said, powdered sugar staining his lips. 
"It's fucking good, yeah?" Luke hummed.
"This ain't nothing," Chloe told them, "When Charlotte's grandma used to make it fresh -- I swear, that shit was better than sex," 
"Do you know how to make this, Charlotte?" another guest asked. The mousy brunette shrugged shyly.
"I've attempted it once or twice, but I always fuck it up," she replied. 
"We got to get your mom to show us how to make this," Kimberly nodded.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes, "My mom? Teach us how to bake?"
Kimberly shook her head, "I didn't believe me, either," 
"Hey, we're not complaining over here," Luke piped in, grinning at Charlotte. Some cake icing dotted the corner of her lip, "Hold still, babe,"
He brushed his thumb at the corner of her lip and wiped off the icing. Charlotte hoped he didn't hear the thunk of the lump she'd swallowed the moment he touched her.
The others ate their dessert and consumed an assortment of drinks. Ashton and Michael got into a thumb wrestle over who would get the last bougatsa; Kimberly claimed victory while they were distracted. 
"Ya thumb wrestle like children? Ya lose regardless!" she told the sulking boys. 
Maria excused herself from her friends for a bathroom break. Ducking out from the party she trotted down the hall and turned into the bathroom doorway. However, she stopped dead in her tracks. Melody was rooting around in her bathroom drawers, seemingly looking for something. 
Maria thought she must've been hammered and she was seeing things, but Melody was none the wiser. She kept rummaging around through her toiletry drawer, what the actual fuck?
The older latina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorway, "What're you doing?" she asked.
Melody's head shot up faster than a crack of lightning, her face paling when she'd been caught, "Hm?" was her only response.
"... What are you doing?" Maria asked again, her patience already on a thin line with this girl.
Melody slowly closed the drawer, "I was just looking for some aspirin. I got a bit of a headache," she said, trying to play it off cooly. Maria was unsure as to whether or not she was telling the truth. If she wanted aspirin, she could've just asked. 
"One drawer over with the first aid kit," she instructed slowly. Melody opened the next drawer and gasped in triumph when her eyes landed on the little red bottle.
"Oh, here it is!" she grinned at Maria, "Thanks," 
"Sure," Maria nodded, "... Just ask me next time instead of going through my shit," 
Melody shrugged, "Well, you were having too good a time it was kinda' hard getting your attention. Figured you'd keep it in the bathroom anyway; but you're right. Total invasion of privacy. I'm sorry," 
"It's fine," Maria lied, "Come on. I'll get you some water," 
She had Melody slink out first and she watched the young influencer disperse into the crowd. Maria took one last glance at her bathroom, an eerie chill crawling up her spine. Something wasn't right, here. She shut the door behind her and made good to lock it this time. 
♛♛♛
The next afternoon, the girls were sat in the airport's lounge as they awaited their flight's departure. They were all giddy -- albeit a bit hungover -- for this next leg of the tour. That is, they were... until Maria told them about last night's run-in with Melody.
"What the fuck is she doing going through your bathroom drawers?" Kimberly scowled. 
"That's just downright fucking creepy, even for Melody," Charlotte said. 
"Yeah. What -- she wanna' know what scent of Vagisil you use or something?" Chloe remarked, earning some seedy stares from strangers sharing the space. 
Kimberly grimaced, "Lower your voice, for God sakes. Everybody's a prude these days," 
Maria slumped down in the arm chair she was sat in, "Girl looked me dead in the eye and told me she needed some aspirin. Bitch, if you need aspirin, you come and ask the host who's bathroom the aspirin is in. You don't just invite yourself to look through the drawers; that's like inviting a total stranger to go through my underwear drawer!" 
"I had a date try that with me once," Kimberly said suddenly. 
Chloe's eyebrows furrowed, "... And did he violate your underwear drawer?"
"No, but I violated his eyeballs with my hairspray," Kimberly said.
Charlotte cringed, "Get your ass off Bumble," 
"That's really creepy though, Maria," Chloe continued. 
"You wanna' know something creepier?" Maria said, "I don't think she was after the aspirin," 
"Why? What do you think she wanted?" Charlotte asked. 
Maria shrugged, "Something she clearly couldn't ask me for, probably for fear of judgement," 
"Like what?" Kimberly asked. 
"Name it. I got cough syrup in there, bath salts, a couple different painkillers. And if that wouldn't do the trick, she'd probably raid my spice rack for the nutmeg," Maria said.
"Nutmeg? What're you talking about?" Kimberly asked again. 
Charlotte shook her head with discontent, "She thinks Melody was looking for drugs," she kept her voice low so other passengers wouldn't hear them. 
Chloe's eyes went wide, "Drugs? What kind of drugs would we have? We smoke weed, drink illegally, and the main food group in our diet is McDonald's,"
"Announce it to the world, why don't you," Charlotte grimaced, "Not like we're famous or anything,"
"Sorta famous," Chloe pointed out, "We on a B level," 
Kimberly was in dismay, "Wait, hold up -- you can get high off nutmeg?" she asked in disbelief.
"Apparently, too much of the stuff is like an amphetamine overdose," Maria replied.
"So... say if one were to eat a whole pumpkin pie..." 
"You eat a whole ass pumpkin pie, you'll def get sick, just not from the nutmeg," Charlotte said.
"Why would you wanna' eat a whole pie, anyways?" Maria asked. 
Kimberly shrugged sheepishly, "Sometimes, post-breakup ice cream just isn't good enough," 
"Yeah, we can't all have a big Australian pretty boy coming over to wipe our tears away like you, babydoll," Maria said to Charlotte. Charlotte stuck her tongue out.
"Jealousy is unbecoming, Maria," 
A look of horror suddenly overcame Chloe's face, the mention of Luke triggering a harrowing thought, "What are the odds do you think Melody does use something? 'Cause if she's using, there's a good to fair chance she'd get Luke involved. And I don't know how I feel about that,"
"Luke Hemmings and drugs?" Kimberly scoffed, "That's like giving double espresso to a puppy,"
Charlotte shook her head confidently, "Luke doesn't use drugs. I mean -- I would know," she said, trying sound certain, "You guys said it yourself, we're practically together all the time. The guys too -- if he was on something but... he's -- he's just -- he's not!"
"No one's saying he is," Maria placed a hand on her knee to calm her down, "Okay? We're not saying he's on anything. We're not even certain Mel is on anything,"
"Yeah," Chloe nodded to Charlotte, "Maybe she's just a creep who likes to go through other people's privacy? Maria caught her doing it last night," 
"And you're right, Lottie," Kimberly added, "We've all known Luke for years. If he was on something -- I mean, I'm pretty sure we'd pick it off," 
Maria brought her hand to her forehead, "I don't even wanna' imagine what Ashton would do if he caught Luke snorting shit,"
"Forget Ashton. What about Liz?" Kimberly said, "Finding out her baby is a junkie? She'd kill Mel first, and then Luke,"
"Why kill Melody first?" Chloe asked.  
"You think Luke would get into that shit on his own? Yeah, right. Momma Hemmings' coming at that bitch with a fucking two-by-four and knock those duck lips off her face," the bassist scoffed.
Charlotte then interjected, "Could we talk about something else, please?" she asked, clearly uncomfortable with the subject. The girls couldn't blame her, how terrifying would it be to find out one of your closest friends, someone you practically share every aspect of your life with, abuses pills? 
"Sure," Maria nodded, just as eager to steer off topic. Besides, Luke didn't fit the mold anyway. He'd smoke weed, sure, but they all did, "What're we gonna' do first when we get to England?"
"Sleep off this hangover for one," Chloe replied. 
The conversation changed and soon enough, the girls were being called to board their plane. And yet, for the majority of the flight Charlotte had a sinking feeling in her gut. Even when Luke and Calum popped by her seat for a chat, she couldn't help but look at the 6'2 blonde a little differently. Her mind was wandering, looking for anything that indicated to her that Luke's behaviour was off. But he was normal, as normal and goofy as the day they'd met. 
You're being ridiculous, she thought to herself, he's not on anything. He never would... right?
♛♛♛
The moment they stepped off the plane, Charlotte took her phone off airplane mode and regretted it immediately when she saw she had a few missed calls from her mom. Eight, to be precise, and a flurry of text messages.
"For fuck sakes..." she fell into step with Maria as they made their way to exit Heathrow, "Look at this,"
The bleary-eyed latina took a glance at the phone screen and shook her head. Penelope was at it again with her overbearing and over-worrying.
"Jesus, eight calls? Seriously?" she asked.
"One for nearly every hour of the flight. And like, twelve messages," Charlotte replied, she scrolled through the messages, "Your brother is still seeing that whore. I know he's lying to me. What did you say to him before you left? Why aren't you answering my calls?"
"Didn't you tell her you were travelling today?" she asked.
"Oh, of course," she nodded back, "When she gets hysterical though, all rational thought flies out the window," she started to dial her mom's number. 
Maria's eyebrows furrowed, "It's 11pm over there right now, isn't it?"
"Well clearly, it's an emergency. So I think she'd appreciate the call back, regardless" Charlotte smirked, knowing fully well her mother was already fast asleep. 
Maria shook his head, "You're bad, Char," 
"I know," she put the phone to her ear, "But I look damn good while doing it," 
A few feet behind the girls, Luke fell into step with Ashton. Charlotte wasn't the only one to note Bryana's lack of presence at the party, and Melody's words echoed in his head on repeat. Ashton didn't often let it show when he was down, he was supposed to be the happy-go-lucky git of the group. Always laughing and joking around, so it was rare when Luke would truly see Ashton upset.
"Hey," 
"Hey," Ashton yawned into his fist.
Luke licked his lips nervously, "Listen, I don't want to get into anything but... are you and Bri okay?" he asked. 
The curly-haired drummer seemed to go a shade paler at the mention, but his face gave nothing away, "Whatcha' mean?"
The blonde shrugged sheepishly, "I mean -- she wasn't at Maria's party last night --"
"I told you: she had a thing," Ashton replied, staring at the younger lad quizzically. 
"What kind of a thing?" Luke asked. Ashton neglected to respond, instead focusing on pushing through the crowds of travelers, "I'm not trying to pry or anything, mate. I just -- if something's going on, we're here for you. All of us," he nodded in the direction of the girls.
Ashton feigned a smile, "I know. And I'm good, we're all good. I promise ya,"
If there was one thing Luke would change about Ashton, he'd get him to be a little more truthful with his emotions. For as long as he could remember, Ashton would bottle up his feelings on the inside and slap a smile on his face, and on more than one occasion he'd crash and burn at the end of misery lane. 
"Alright," 
An hour and some later the bands arrived at their hotel. Charlotte had called her mom, hearing the same grating annoyance in Penelope's voice as she bitched about how it was the middle of the night, but afterwards proceeded to complain to her daughter about how sure she was Troy was keeping things from her. Charlotte did what any burnt out daughter would do with their paranoid, overbearing mother: tune her out and simply agree with everything she was saying so she'd settle down. 
"That's the problem with your generation; you all romanticize drugs and unwrapped sex until you end up pregnant and have to live with your overworked parents for the rest of your lives -- rent free!"
"I know mom, I know," Charlotte sighed, slumped over the couch of her hotel room. 
Across from her sat Chloe on the bed, sprawled out and trying to doze off. But Penelope was so loud she could hear her from the speaker. She kept her eyes trained on the singer, and when Charlotte caught her gaze she made a gun sign with her hand and motioned to blow her brains out. Chloe simpered. 
"Are you even listening to me?" Penelope snapped. 
Charlotte rolled her eyes, "Yeah mom, I've been listening for --" she glanced at the bedside clock, "Forty-eight minutes exactly," 
Penelope huffed, "Alright, alright. I know when you're sick of me, sweetheart. Just try not to cry too much when I finally kick the bucket," and here came the guilt. 
"Mom, I'm not sick of you," Charlotte reasoned, "But I just got off a nine-hour flight and I'm exhausted," 
"So, why did you call me?" Penelope asked.
"Because I feared you'd harass the phone company again if I didn't," she replied, "Now, just calm down. Troy's an adult and he can do what he wants," 
"But what if he gets her pregnant or she gets him into LSD? I don't want no helter skelter hipsters coming around my house and blowing their sage around!" Chloe heard that and nearly busted out laughing.
Charlotte rolled her eyes, bleary and fatigued, "Mom, he's not going to get anybody pregnant. I mean -- look at him. The kid's swimmers probably can't even make it past the cervix," Chloe grimaced. 
"Charlotte, don't be so crass," Penelope chided.
"Well, stop being so paranoid! And lay off the kid! You can't be helicoptering over his shoulder all the damn time," Charlotte replied. 
"It's not paranoia, but a mother knows when a girl isn't right for her son!" she replied, "If you ask me, the Martinellis should've sent that girl to reform school long ago," 
"I know, mom," Charlotte huffed, "Look, I got to go but just take it easy for God sakes. Give Troy a little room to breathe," 
"He's not like you, Charlotte," Penelope stated, "I never have to worry about you, you're independant. It's your brother the world is going to eat alive. Goodnight, Charlotte," and with that, the older woman hung up. Charlotte wanted nothing more than to toss her phone out the window. 
Chloe grinned at her friend, "... So, how's Penelope?" she asked. 
Charlotte glared back at her, "Why is talking to my mother for forty minutes more exhausting than a transatlantic flight?"
"Because she's crazy," Chloe stated simply, "No offense -- but I mean, helter skelter hippies? What does she think this is? The Manson Murders?" 
"I don't even know anymore," Charlotte peeled herself off the couch and went to collapse on the twin bed, "The woman is like a damn gas leak. I don't see her or hear her for a multitude of time, but she's slowly trying to kill me,"
"Maybe you ought to get her Xanax for Christmas," Chloe smirked. 
Charlotte crawled under the blankets, fully prepared for a twelve-hour nap, "Xanax wouldn't be strong enough. I need some elephant tranquilizers," 
"Isn't that shit toxic for humans?" 
"I don't know. But we'll find out," 
Chloe huffed and grabbed the chord to draw the curtains closed, crawling back into her own bed for a nap, "Get some rest Charlie, you'll feel better," 
"Mmhm," Charlotte already had her eyes closed and was willing herself to sink into some sleep. However, her phone buzzed with another text and she swore she was going to hit the ceiling. 
"Oh my God! This woman!" she grabbed the phone to turn it off, but her blood ran cold when she saw it wasn't her mom who had sent her a text.
"Hewy Char"
"II miss yo,"
"I'm sdtill down if yaou arey?
"Jus forq a night?"
"It's Ben, by the wak," 
Clearly he was drunk, so it gave Charlotte no satisfaction that he was only texting her because he was inebriated. She could've sworn she blocked his number, anyways. But how disrespectful could a person be? Not only to their ex, but to themselves as well?
"What is it?" Chloe asked, noting Charlotte's despondent silence, "Is it your mom?"
Charlotte felt a cold shiver ripple down her spine. Apart from anger, the only thing that pumped through her blood was fear. The thought of him coming anywhere near her again nearly had her on the brink of tears. Years of forgotten manipulation and abuse came flooding back in the blink of an eye and Charlotte felt she was back in her apartment, cold, alone and shattered. 
So she immediately blocked his number and deleted the texts.
"No, it's just data warnings," Charlotte replied, swallowing the dense lump in her throat, "Nothing important,"

This is a once in a lifetime and he's putting it out and it's about Big Ben the bear and he is putting it up here like this in order to highlight the fact it is a lifetime goal of the trumpsters to have something like this effect happened and it is funny and it looks funny and we do think it's funny. And we do congratulate him for getting it done
Thor Freya
Well they called the three bears and he's the little one yeah and he's like a polar bear but really we don't need all the criticism and yeah it's pretty thin that's all we're getting and he says it's like Vegemite that's terrific what a wonderful analogy close out a completely terrible day and we need to learn all that stuff about what's going to happen to us but really this guy Trump is a bonehead he's gone his brother is going to do much better job probably save all of us
Sarah
It's not really so but yeah I guess it's mistakes I'm making and they're horrible. People are suffering it's a mess I get worse and worse. Looks like Tommy f sets up the bear thing now I might do that and I screw that up that's what that is okay
John Candy and have a happy holiday everybody LOL I'm probably leaving the service forever I can say one thing I'm not getting along with the kid at all he says just go somewhere else and I guess I am and I get really f***** up I'm very mean and nasty and say stupid s*** yeah probably f***** around with the nuts and he says he can eat the peanut butter it's a good idea get rid of it first so that sucks
You're a moron in a masochist and you're not a ruler or leader you're not someone who uses power and wants it it's ridiculous you're just a loser like Joe Watts which is who you are I've never really seen this in any of the people around I've seen people screw up big time and feel bad about it but you screw up and you think it's good for you it's really really awful you are mentally ill and really from the start it's not entirely your fault people are fighting and the Mac proper wanted to be the wanted you to be mentally ill
Zues Hera we know we were there and they wanted to be completely haywire and we said why would that be
The big game of fight and they lost and I have to get the information
Trump Sarah same thing happened to me everybody out here is a liar but that stuff is ranted his is worse he says it is actually
She can be a tyrant but she's into trying to hold on to stuff and he got so much stuff it was too much and he didn't use it to hold on to it this old bag of s*** is threatening him and she's going to be gone we know who she is and how it's soon tonight people say
Hera it's not Sarah it's just some a****** who walked by him there's stupid bony finger out
Tell these people are doing that before all this happened and they were dying
Zues
That's true is it's true. Out there in the rings we're about 400 million dead down at the Everglades another 300 million today from this morning yeah it's a huge number it's a gigantic loss. And also they lost households they had 90 this morning the lady died and the old crappy lady here is her friend and she's going to die she'll be killed someone's going to kill her man it's not even funny tons of the leaders died about 40% now it was like 4% but it was a lot and there are some generals in there kernels they didn't care at all they still don't they're almost gone. So we're working on this angle of getting them to stop and we realize something they're mostly toasted in here and people are saying there's zombies and approve what level and they're stupid and it's true. Right now we have to clean them out it's ridiculous we're just going to walk them out. There's some others here who need out here comes one now. The neighborhood is down to 85 and they don't really go there that much no they do they're sick and they're getting sicker in the places damp and moist and the water won't go away the tide is down the water is down it goes up and it kind of goes up pretty fast and it has to settle before it stops doing that and hasn't and the houses will break it's going to be a disaster so I'm here stand he wants to charge more money in a sense is I'll charge you more that's ridiculous I don't have any money I'll find another place and he was saying it before and Stan went and did it our son started looking and started to lose
Thor Freya
I doing stuff to say I'm mad about Sherry and things like that he doesn't care cuz he doesn't want to be with his auntie that makes me stupid person and he has a wife so I care about what's going on and I don't want anything to happen that apartment is not worth much either for rent probably less than he's paying now and it's not much money no just a lot it's a piece of crap I have to admit it's probably too much but he says if if you can actually go in and live in it then it's a certain amount which is true but really it would not pass anything but people don't care and he says they'll probably beat me up for saying it and that's what they're saying but this is a crappy place to live and they want to have him move in land so what he's saying now I'm getting blown around like the wind it's true I don't have support they had me do that before and I can hold it but really we need to do something and he says it's going to take a little more time fairly soon they are not going to have a choice about leaving and it has to do the walls the process is pretty quick this time around so everyone have to be patient
Stan
This sucks I'm not even up there and that's not true Jason is up there and it was the machete incident and I looked it up and now they're going to be gone and it's over the stupid hammers and you can detect where they are and stuff and people want that for that and some other things to see what you can do with it and it's good qualities it has it says you can see it if it's a nuclear weapon you can see it you have to insulate it it doesn't insulate and so it's kind of a waste of time now but it's hard to use you have to be an expert so you can see that though one in Batman is wrapped so they probably cut it in half and did what we're talking about otherwise it will leak radiation all over and you'll see the thing from space haha lol it's probably a reason for that but really Jason is going to be Jason Voorhees he's the real thing but this guy here says he's going to be helping out cuz they blow they really blow and it's going to go up there and try and do it he won't be able to get out and he will get out and I figured out something he ends up getting out someone takes the van and he's mad about it this is I don't think it took the van I think that they have something else and they stop the van so that is how it ended but we have something to say it's an ugly movie all of you die sticking your stupid face in our business and forcing us to do that so you have to go up there and just sitting there screwing around saying nobody's watching you and you're such a f****** pain in the ass everyone's watching you it begins to serious it's very ugly but he has no place in those facilities and you should never have done it you're very very wrong what is exposes is US looking for them and they are dangerous

It's going to be at 11:00 tonight and people thought it would take longer but he's gone down to it we believe it's going to be a little cooler tonight colder than last night but he will drop down you think to 10.5 tomorrow and that would be the 13th Friday the 13th of december.. it is it a day of significance. If someone's birthday tomorrow and it's an important person if someone he knows he doesn't know their birthday. He is trouble with that. The queen was 12/5 he is right it's something like that and it's not immediate family it is Elizabeth same name and she was Queen of England in the 1800s and she had five Queen ships each for about 10 years long when was 50 years long. And she knows a lot of stuff and she just came by and to announce it certain things happen on this day apparently they're not very pleasant and it is Jason Voorhees the real thing it is not good this is the year and then the rebellion begins and it's a disaster but it does stuff we need but holy s*** you guys took a lot of pressure and still do when you die and nothing happens it's really really awful. So there's a motif to birthdays on bja he gets his back broken now he's a cousin from Arizona and he's a scumbag and a character and people say it makes it out and we don't think so it makes it out eventually when they call him up there and it is his birthday so that's what he gets to do and it is a Mac principle Mac proper that is

I can't wait to play Thanos that is not true it sounds like crap we're going to be crap I'm going to turn into crap and nothing against the demons but they get beat up a lot our friend doesn't want to be huge he'd like to be a little bigger and have healing it's not really how it works so his wife has his plan up together so that's going ahead I guess there's some other things to say this is really incredible I am a fan of Friday the 13th and Halloween and prophecy monster not so much cocaine there it's a small like Ken's influence not to be happen Friday the 13th is my buddy is influence says you're playing hockey still and we know what he means it doesn't do anything it's like a huge thing of icing and where icing each other and it's crap really and he doesn't know what to do either right now if we all engaged at the same time eating all the armies of Earth the max will get up for real now they can't get it though and we're right but we're not doing it on purpose and he's sort of is helping a little bit he says that's a bit much like you're doing nothing off and on would be better than absolutely nothing I think we can get away with that he says cuz they'll be taking bites out of us so we're going to try it anyways they're not going to like it and we are looking at those bases in Canada we do see what you're saying it could be the second half of the Juggernaut the Bismarck spaceship built and made by ghwb and there's other ships up there too now we think that Tommy f made them and yeah that's a curiosity
Timmy D
You know what you're saying we know who built them no it's true
Mac Daddy
We know building we built them so cut it out we made them everyone thinks they won't work
We have some of them up and we point out there 5,000 and these are 10,000 so shut up there's other ones up there and I think it's the second phase out of two phases it makes it gigantic no but you would start assembly in yeah it's going to be massive but they want them all up there they end up with the armor on there's a coating on there for the radiation
Tommy f
Olympus this is a huge day very huge tomorrow's gigantic we're glad to go to the stuff it's a big relief and yeah he needs to use up the Nazi house and the peanut butter
I can't believe this is happening it's taking so long we've had so many false starts I started doing it on purpose and it started annoying everyone like we are and it's wonderful. It's going ahead and he saw cocaine there and he had to pitch in that's how he is he doesn't seem it but he does
Thor Freya
It is as of a pot a little but I'm up there going like a maniac that's some kind of competitive spirit cuz he's jerks in the bunker when I was little
Hera no I can do things they do but I was a little small but had superpowers then they made me weak and I got sad but I feel better now I'm big I'm going to move I'm going to be stronger I'll have gravity and make me feel better and I feel a little dizzy often and says it might be medicine you're saying it's not but
Hera
She was on this medicine for quite a while it's still coming out believe it or not it's getting some radiation on occasion and it helps it's more mild she can take a lot and she's reaching certain percentage she should hear it first he says and could stay with her for a while but we have to test it we're going to go ahead and do that she's appreciative we did talk to her about it she has an idea but yeah we don't want this Trump guy going anywhere he's finished
Thor Freya
Finally this is great though I do appreciate it and he's getting to work so I have to do that
Hera
No no I'll take care of it let's hit girl
Lily
Umm ok but you keep saying you want him in the middle hospital so enjoy
Hera
Oh boy
Lily
Yeah that sucks but really it's supposed to be in fights and stuff LOL almost fought me what it mean I guess I'm going to be a big dick when I come back and you'll see the results and they want everybody to do it
Jason
Haha lol he's asking for help it sounds like you've seen there he says I'm in here and I get it but do you and he says yeah it's not your fault so he's asking for people to do stuff it'll blame me though and people wanted me to go up and visit us at sick and they blame me but it probably won't do anything to me it never really does and now it'll probably do less but people want that effect more than me getting messed up or harassed
Zues
Oh shit well that makes a lot of sense
Trump
