[ppenguinpperson]

my favourite game, mountains are for losers

this is a celeste x pafl au! :) im going to explain each character here

sanya replaces madeline. she wants to climb the mountain to prove.. something to sergei. maybe that she can do things on her own, maybe that she doesn't need him, maybe that she's cool and awesome and maybe that she's enough on her own. yea, she's a bit scared (though she'd never admit that to him), but she can't let that stop her. not when she's already ran away from home all the way here. like madeline, sanya can dash (unless i figure out a different ability to give her, though i propably won't). the mountain gave her this ability (i'll expand on this more later).

badya replaces badeline. she's much more aggressive than badeline, shouting at sanya the moment they first meet ('what do you think youre doing?! youll die out here!'). she shows worry for sanya. resembles sergei a bit, though unlike him, doesn't think twice about stopping sanya from climbing the mountain with her own two hands. unlike badeline, she doesn't want to climb the mountain not because sanya isn't a mountain climber, there's no use, but rather because of the danger it poses. what if she falls and breaks something?she could literally die out here, it'd be better if she just returned to the safety of their home.

yura replaces theo. theyre both self concious about what people think of them, and they're both friends with the protag - though yura and sanya havent met before the main events of this au, though. instead of having an instapix account, yura is liveblogging his ascension of the mountain to The Gang. he doesn't know why he wants to climb the mountain, really. it's a similar reason to theo though. he was just lost in life and wanted to have control over something, anything.

katya replaces mr oshiro. like him, she is a ghost that haunts the celeste hotel, but unlike him, she was just a guest at her time of death. how she died, you ask? well, to that i ask, why are are you asking so many questions? teehee, i jest... i think, maybe an avalanche happened and many of the guests staying at the hotel died. katya wasn't the only one to turn into a ghost. she is, however, the only one that hasn't moved on and still lingers. she doesn't want the hotel to feel lonely. and, she likes talking to the travellers:) no, she doesn't like being alone all the time... but helping out the ocassional mountain climber every five years is worth it. yea. don't worry, that's it, there's nothing more to it. nothing suspicious about this. katya isn't that developed yet in this au, so some of this info might change.

temnova replaces granny. she studies the traits of the mountain, intrigued by its whole deal. she's lived on this mountain for... well, maybe too long. dmitry a dog replaces the bird. 'how does it get around as easy as the bird? it doesnt have wings! itd have a much harder time following sanya around the mountain' i hear you, and to that i say, didnt i tell you to stop asking so many questions...

the zone merges with the mountain. sorta. gives sanya her dash, as a Bonus and Encouragement. gives temnova. uh . um . you know what don't worry about it

please feel free to ask me any questions about this au:3!! my askbox is open 👍

What's scarier?

(There will be references to creepy episodes in this fanfiction)

On Plant Island, all the monsters, including the new ones, stood near the palace while Entbrat, Autumn and Punkeleton took the stage.

Entbrat:Greetings to all the monsters from the world of monsters. Today you will have news from Punkeleton. Meet him (The monsters applauded).

Punkeleton:In 2 months, except for the last day of October, there will be a "What's scarier?" contest for our friends from other worlds. You can watch the TV to watch their results and the winner will receive a prize.

Furcon:Our friends will participate.

Mammott:But how will they get the information?

Punkeleton:But you know that. Kayna will tell them because she is their friend.

In the house of heroes.

Heroes expect Kayna:The contest "What's scarier?"

Kayna:Yes, guys. You will participate and show which of our people turned out to be scarier.

Freddy:Heh, I would love to show the plot of our franchise.

Sparkle:We would make a maze that is full of magic and horror.

Balan:I, along with my human friends, also surprised someone.

Emma:And what will you come up with, Alina?

Alina:I don't want to upset you... but Russians can't do that.

Characters:Why?

Cristine:Alina, that's how everyone understands traditions. But no one will fight for it. Because we are all friends that we trust.

Daisy:Yes, it's bad to scare, but is it at least possible to have fun?

Alina:Well...

Balan:Understand Alina, even if someone says to forbid it. We'll just get settled in other places. The balance supports this.

Kayna:I think everyone is right, you should not be ready for this.

Alina:Well, all right.

Kayna:Then it's time for everyone to get ready.

All the characters ran to their cities and only Alina, along with Cristine, Julia, Katya, Lula, Daisy, Sanya and Emoji stayed at the hotel.

Cristine:Well, what are your ideas?

Sanya:Well, we need to think about it. Don't tell scary stories.

Alina:An idea! Girls, why don't we...

Later.

At night, the girls were in chapter 13 of wonderworld while everyone was asleep.

Cristine:(Whisper) Are you sure no one will notice?

Alina:(Whisper) We have to set up a tent somewhere further away so that no one sees.

They had just stopped at a place where there was no one and where there was a cliff to the void.

Emoji:A good place for a circus tent.

Alina:Yes. Now we're going to start.

After 2 months except the last one.

It's Halloween day. All the people were wearing creepy costumes, some of their favorite characters. They were scaring, handing out sweets and stuff. And now it happened in the evening. Here on Plant Island Punkeletons, along with Kaina, who was dressed in a fire monster costume from "Moana", were ready to leave the world of monsters.

PunkeletonWell, it's time for the "What's scarier?" contest. My brothers will carry the results, and Kayna will show the places where her friends made a terrible surprise.

Monsters:Hooray!

Four monsters left the monster world and headed to the first place.

In the Chamomile Valley.

The four monsters were surprised that they had to go through the forest. They walked calmly, but felt as if someone was watching them. As soon as they turned around, they were scared by Krash, who was shaggy and had fangs.

Punkeleton:Wow, you look like toothy monster rabbits.

Krash:I pra... (He took off his jaws) I tried my best. But that's not all, there's something in my friend Pin's garage.

They followed the blue rabbit and stopped near the garage. When they opened it, it was dark.

Box (Rare Punkeleton):Is that all?

Krash:You don't know what's inside yet.

As soon as they entered the garage, someone immediately closed it. The monsters were a little scared, as were the monsters from the world who were watching through the TV. Suddenly, they heard as if someone was wandering or crawling on the walls. And suddenly...

*The fall of a heavy object*

Monster:AAAAAA!!!

The monsters are panicking and trying to open, while someone with an iron stomp approaches them. And they were none other than the rest of the Kikoriki. The monsters calmed down from this and the lights turned on.

Carlin (In a pirate costume):Well how?

Punkeleton:It was an unexpected number. 8 out of 10 at once.

Box and Joker (Epic Punkeleton):8/10.

Punkeleton:Next for us, it's SpongeBob and his friends.

In A Bikini Bottom.

The heroes were in the dome so they could breathe underwater. They walked through the city until they saw a modified Krusty Krab, which is now called the "Horror Crab".

Krash:The name is good.

Punkeleton:But we have to check what's inside now.

When they came up, the restaurant was full of cobwebs and dust. And surprisingly, they were real, as if no one went to Krusty Krab on purpose.

Kayna:It can't be, there are even spiders.

The box decided to ring the bell to find out where SpongeBob and his friends are. Suddenly, a Sponge in the form of a maniac from episode 6, season 1 appears from behind.

SpongeBob:(Angry) Arrg! Who allowed you to disturb?!

Box:(Scared):Oh my God! This is a maniac!

SpongeBob:Now I'm going to make burgers out of (Takes out a shovel) someone!

Everyone screamed at this until Squidward comes out of the kitchen in a flying Dutchman costume.

Squidward:Wait, you haven't ordered yet.

Mr. Krabs comes out of the office in the form of an old pirate.

Mr. Krabs:I need money!

As soon as the Kikoriki children turned around, they saw Patrick with a daughter with a mustache. That scared them both. They ran into the kitchen and closed it until they saw Sandy in the form of a mad scientist.

Sandy:Well, get ready... There will be an experiment now.

Heroes expect SpongeBob and his friends:AAH!

SpongeBob:How scary is it? (Everyone calmed down) These costumes were there before we met.

Punkeleton:Very much so. Especially about the burgers of us. We put 9.5/10.

Box and Joker:9.5/10.

Patrick:And I was very scared because I was screaming.

In the Ponyville.

The heroes were looking for the six who were supposed to prepare a creepy number. They asked one of the ponies.

Punkeleton:Excuse me, do you know where the top six are? They just had to prepare a creepy number.

Pony:They are in a corn maze, somewhere on Apple Jack's farm.

As soon as he left, the heroes were surprised at this answer. They immediately found themselves at Apple Jack's Farm and noticed the maze.

Punkeleton:Well, go ahead.

Suddenly, when they started, Spike appeared behind them in a bone dragon costume as he flew. The heroes got scared and ran away, and Spike flies after them. In the first turn, they came across Apple Jack in a scarecrow costume, then when they left her they saw Raiti in the costume of the evil queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Every time they met the Six, they ran away. They saw Rainbow Dash in a black suit with a zipper pattern and glasses, then Pinkie Pie with straight hair decorated with confetti and holding a fake fork (This was inspired by one of the Cryptipast ponies). Then, as they were running, they saw a silhouette with wings that flew by. At first they thought it was a random pony, but when they looked back, they saw Tricky in a Zooble costume from TADC. When they were in the round place, the ponies surrounded him. And Later, Sparkle appeared in the costume of her evil version in "One of the Equestria Girls cartoons".

Sparkle:How are our tricks?

Punkeleton:It was unexpected. Immediately attack the ponies. For this 9.5/10 (His brothers record).

In Highland Isle.

The heroes go to Phineas and Ferb's house until they notice the red footprints. They realized that they were leading somewhere and led to a cave in the form of a wolf. As soon as they stepped back, they bumped into Phineas in a vampire costume and Ferb in a Frankenstein costume (This is inspired from one of the episodes).

Heroes:(Scared) Ahh!

Phineas:But that's not all.

When they turned around, they saw Kuzko in the form of a creepy version of the emperor, Melvin in a witch costume, and Kronk in a Viracocha costume from one of the episodes.

Kuzko:Are you scared?

Punkeleton:A sudden appearance is even more fun.

Later, they heard the voices of "Hi-ho" and it was the dwarves in black cloaks who covered their eyes. Signs of elements of nature from plants to plasma were painted on the hood.

Doc:A terrifying surprise awaits you in the cave...

Everyone immediately climbed on the trolleys and she drove off. At the beginning, they find themselves in a dark forest where a Street cat in a Seshir Cat costume is watching him. Then they notice that they are going to a castle with creepy statues in the form of various wonders. As they rode, the sounds of howling wolves, squeaking bats and ringing bells could be heard.

SpongeBob:It's already getting scary...

Then a Wander in a goblin costume with a hood landed on the very first trolley.

Wander:You've gone too far. You don't even know what's going to happen next. You will meet the scariest horror queens. (To ponies) Scarier than your evil versions of queens.

Rainbow Dash:And which ones do you mean?

Wander:Queens... of...

Silvia:FEARS!

They noticed her dressed as a black alien from the horror movie "Alien".

Box:(He noticed something) Am I not the only one who noticed the lock?

They noticed that they were driving towards the entrance to the creepy castle. When they arrived, they saw Marina sitting on the thrones in front of them in a costume of Isma from "Emperor's new groove" and Lilo in a costume of Maleficent. Later, Street cat appeared on one of the two thrones.

Marina:What made you come to us?

Punkeleton:We have a contest called "What's scarier?" and they came to you.

Lilo:Why invite us when Halloween has just begun?

Street Cat:(Whisper) I suggest we cut off their heads.

Marina:Cut off their heads, my servants!

Monster, kikoriki, SpongeBob, his friends and pony:No!

*The screen went dark*

Fortunately, all the heroes were outside. It turned out that it was a number for the competition.

Marina:Well how?

Punkeleton:It was scary, like I was in a scary fairy tale. In general, the score is 7.9/10.

Near the theater.

The characters enter the Balan Theater, which was completely dark inside. The door immediately slammed shut and blue lights are burning on the chandeliers. The reflection in the mirror turns black and white until it stops when the characters look at it. Posters depicting the inhabitants are torn up and penciled on the theme of horror stories.

Wally:It's getting kind of uncomfortable.

Suddenly, when they arrived in the lobby, they saw... Balan on the floor. From this, the heroes ran to check on him in fright, pinching him.

Mr. Krabs:What's the matter with you?

Suddenly Balan began to giggle softly and get up. When he became, it seemed that he looked spoiled like Lance. This scared the heroes.

SpongeBob:(Scared) Balan is like Lance now!

As soon as they turned around, they saw Lance in a negative version.

Heroes:Oh no!

The heroes scattered in different directions. The Street Cat noticed that Leo was standing in front of him in a devil costume and Emma in an angel costume.

Leo:Where are you going?

Emma:We didn't show our friends.

Barry in a scarecrow costume accidentally bumped into a wooden stick that Jose was hanging on him in a scarecrow costume.

Jose:Boo!

Barry:AAAH!

Fluttershy tries to fly away, but she gasped when she saw Yuri in a spider costume on the ceiling, and under her stood a Tornado Wolf in a werewolf costume and Dusk Butterfly in a dark butterfly costume from "Miracle Bug and Super Cat". SpongeBob and Patrick stayed together in fright and retreated back. Suddenly, someone's familiar hands grabbed them by the shoulders. Which is why SpongeBob and Patrick slowly turned their heads back and saw Fiona in a Siren costume and Haoyu in a crazy inventor costume.

Fiona and Haoyu:Surprise!

SpongeBob and Patrick:(Scared) AAH! A Siren! A Crazy inventor (They run in different directions)!

Squidward was going to hide in his armor, but he noticed that he was scared and fell.

Squidward:(Scared) AAH! There's a man inside the armor! That is, c- (Armor ax cut through the floor near his head) Cal (Running away)!

The others tried to find a way out, but ran into their friends in suits. As soon as they ran out into the hall, they saw Negabosses in the shadows making an evil appearance. The heroes thought they were finished, but... The lights came on.

Balan:Well, how are our tricks?

The characters from wonderworld stood in the doorway looking at their scared friends.

Punkeleton:It's very scary, like Lance has taken over the theater. Immediately 9.9/10.

Emma:Until almost ten o'clock.

Balan:But to be honest, I can guess what our friend Freddy came up with.

Bokko (Dressed as a scientist):(He noticed that Bruce was not there) Wait, where's Bruce Stone?

Cass (In a witch costume):Oh, really.

Squidward:He probably decided not to scare anyone, (Sat down on a chair) Since he's not here. (A ghost with a familiar hat comes up behind him) If I were him, I wouldn't scare him too much.

Patrick:(Scared) A ghost...

Squidward:Oh, I'm begging you, don't- (The ghost touched his shoulder and he turned to him)

Ghost:BOO!

Squidward:AHHH! (Hid behind friends) GHOST! (The others laughed) What?

It turns out that Bruce was the ghost from the plaid when he showed up.

Bruce:And you thought you'd forgotten me.

Punkeleton:A good trick.

In the Freddy's Fazbear's pizzeria.

The heroes enter the pizzeria and see that it is also dark here. They took flashlights and started walking. They walked all over the hall and as soon as they entered the room, they saw traces of ketchup, which they mistakenly considered blood.

Doc:So this is ketchup.

Kayna:They lead somewhere.

They followed the tracks and saw Freddy eating pizzas with a flashlight.

Balan:Buddy, what's the matter with you?

In response, Freddie glared at his living friends. His mouth was smeared with ketchup and other pizza ingredients. The heroes got scared and started running away.

Krash:Just like in a horror game.

Chiko(Dressed as a cactus monster):Especially about FNAF.

They hid in one of the security offices and closed the door with buttons.

Squidward:Well, what are we going to do now? It's like we're in the plot of this horror game.

Doc:Fortunately, there are screens to check if there are any evil animatronics.

He immediately turned on the screen and started checking. Suddenly one of the cameras freezes and after that Foxy appears with ketchup in her mouth. Of course, he switched to another one, but Monty appears in the golf course with black eyes, looking at the camera. The heroes felt uneasy, when suddenly...

Street Cat:(Scared) Hand!

Out of nowhere, a DJ's hand appears, which breaks down the door and grabs the heroes. The heroes of Ville thought that he would eat them, but...

Freddy:Are you scared?

The heroes noticed him with the rest of the animatronics.

Bonnie:You probably already realized that we have pizza ingredients.

Balan:That's what we've surprised, it's like the apocalypse.

Punkeleton:Therefore, for a similar plot of FNAF and others, we put 8.9/10.

Freddy:Well, it's time for me and Bonnie, Chica and Foxy to go with them.

To A Lesser Extent.

The heroes were looking for the place where Alla, Tom, Jerry, minions, Oggy, Jack, Boog and Eliot arranged a creepy surprise and led them to a dark cave. They ascended and torches were burning inside. They walked and looked at bones, drawings, scratches and cobwebs. Suddenly... wolves howled.

Wander:(Scared) WO- (Sylvia covered his mouth with her hand)

Kayna:But in my opinion, these are still flowers.

Bokko:Quiet, do you hear?

There were footsteps and it was no one themselves as characters who were in the form of rabid beasts. They were shaggy, wore fangs, had pretty crazy eyes, and walked on all fours.

Leo:(Scared) Th-they're hung-gry.

Carlin:Let's run.

The heroes start running away from them while Alla, Tom, Jerry, minions, Oggy, Jack, Boog and Eliot were chasing them. They saw a dead end and stopped. While the animal friends were running after them, the animatronics decided to defend themselves, but the students stopped.

Alla:(She took off her fangs) Is there a fear of going into the forest?

Punkeleton:No, but it was weird. You can immediately count 9/10. We have the rest. Does anyone know?

Boog: I saw them when they were going to the same place.

Near an abandoned place.

They came across a place where there was an abandoned brick factory.

Leo: It's a good place to scare.

Punkeleton: But for the sake of the competition, let's go.

They walk down the hallway and don't notice anything until they see a light in one of the rooms. They approached unnoticed and saw the remaining friends in fright. Ella was standing on some kind of mechanism while Lan in a scientist's suit was watching it.

Lan: Let the experiment begin. Mario! Turn it on!

Mario (A zombie costume): There is a way to turn it on.

Rainbow heroes pretend to suffer in banks. The characters watched in horror until Ella stood in a slime costume.

Ella: Oh no! I became a slime!

Lan:(He laughs angrily) It remains to find the rest of the heroes.

Others: Ah!

Lan:(Took off his glasses) Hi, how's our room?

Punkeleton: Laboratory-themed horror is a separate art form. 9/10. Well, now it's time to take stock.

Sparkle: Wait a minute, we don't know what number the girls did.

Kayna: Indeed, we don't know where they prepared it.

Suddenly a piece of paper flew up to them and Carlin took it. A circus tent and a familiar world were painted on the piece of paper.

Carlin: Friends of wonderworld, news for you.

In the 13 Chapter.

The heroes walk with a surprised look to a place where no one has been.

Balan: I am generally amazed that they have suddenly settled here. And how did our costumes not notice this chapter?

Doc: Perhaps they got in very well unnoticed and settled in.

Suddenly, Alla begins to hear the sounds of a triangle that was playing according to the melody.

Alla: Do you hear? (Everyone stopped)

Joker: Well, music is like music.

Box: And what?

Alla: It sounds from there.

The heroes noticed a forest in front of them. They went up there and begin to notice the circus approaching.

All: Circus.

Later, they stopped when they heard the violin and cymbals playing near the music. Later, there was laughter until the heroes heard a familiar voice.

Dark Wood Circus

Alina: Scared?

They opened their eyes and realized that they were girls.

Characters: Girls?

Balan: Now it's clear where the circus is coming from. In general, it is well worked out.

Box: I'm not going to lie, I liked it.

Joker: Me too.

Punkeleton: Well then... 10/10.

Girls: Wow!

Kanya: You girls are lucky.

Punkeleton: You get a reward from this.

A skeleton with a pumpkin on its head gives Alina a pumpkin-shaped cup while everyone applauds.

Alina: Thanks, but you did it too.

Everyone laughed, including the monsters watching them from the TV on Plant island.

Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

Larger Than Life : Goodbye & Hello

~ ~ ~ ~

As Bow Wow read the results of the elimination Vanessa's face dropped. "Sorry baby" Bow Wow frowned putting the chips back in Vanessa's award. "Your time here is up. You got to pack your bags and meet in the front of the sweetheart." Vanessa held her tongue but you could tell she was upset. She just got up from her chair and walked inside, Austin quickly following her.

Once in the privacy of their bedroom, Vanessa dug into him. "I can't believe it! Me! Me! I barely even talk to anyone here! You know I bet that girl got me voted out-"

"What girl?" Austin asked confused as she grabbed her clothes out of the drawers and stuffed them into her suitcase.

"Katya!" She stated obviously. "That girl is obviously so into you and she wanted me out-"

"Katya wouldn't do that." Austin shook his head but Vanessa pushed past him grabbing her things. "She wouldn't."

"You don't see it Austin! How can you not see it?!" She shouted at him.

"Vanessa," Austin said trying to stay calm himself. He gently put his hand on her shoulders, trying to calm her down. "Katya didn't vote for you, she told me she gave a heart to Ed."

"Are you kidding me?" She scoffed pulling herself away. "You really don't see it to do? And now that I'm not here-"

"I'm not going to cheat on you." Austin was exasperated. "I never have! Why are you acting like I did? Katya is my friend, I don't say anything about your male friends! Just because I hang out with her doesn't mean I'm doing anything with her! If I am not feeling you and I anymore I would break up with you."

She stopped packing and eyed him. "I wished you would have gone home." She hissed and with that she pushed past him and back down into the lobby.

We all waited by the entrance but she barely gave us a passing glance, except Katya who she glared at. "Goodbye." With that she left in a limo.

"What a sore loser." William huffed. "Good riddance!" He shouted and we all walked back inside. It was late at night and we were all exhausted from the talent show and we quickly retired to our bedrooms.

~ ~ ~ ~

Maybe it was the nerves from last night but Ed couldn't fall asleep and decided to join the other early morning risers in the outdoor gym. The air was warm and the sun was rising when he walked outside. He spotted Makayla doing her daily morning run on the beach, her bright green shoes digging into the sand as she ran. He chuckled and spotted Draven jumping rope on the lawn by the gym equipment. Jungkook and JB working out on the other machines.

"What the hell are you doing up so early?" Draven asked, her eyes squinted from the bright sun. He shrugged. "You okay?"

"Yesterday fucked me up." He sighs and Draven motioned to the boxing gloves. He put them on and she put up her hands. When Draven needed to let go of her frustration she boxed him now she was going to do the same for her. "Come on."

Edward swung soft at first until Draven goaded him on. "Come on, swing! You won't hurt me!" He swung hard, Draven catching each in the pads on her hands. Jungkook stood by amazed that she didn't miss a punch and Jb started to cheer Draven on. That was until Ed made contact with Draven's shoulder and stopped.

"Shit sorry Dre!" He said wiping his forehead. "You alright?" She smiled up at him and nodded.

"Feel better?" She asked and he smirked at her nodding. She looked at the small crowd gathered and bowed. "Thats all men, you may go." she moved to the nearby couch and relaxed. "Are you good?"

"You know they asked me about her last night," he pointed toward the house and Draven knew he was talking about you. "In the confessional after Vanessa left." She looked at him to continue. "They asked me if I wanted to be more serious with her and my relationship with you."

"What did you say?"

"The truth." He shrugged. "I think of you like my sister, I love you but I do not want to fuck you." She laughed. "I like her though, shes one of a kind for sure. I don't think I messed with a girl like her - ever."

Draven chuckled. "Told you she wasn't your type. Your normal type is fucked up."

His laugh matched her and he looked up into the bluing sky. "I want to take her out somewhere." He looked into a nearby camera. "Can we do that? Take someone out on a date?" The camera light blinked and he waved at Makayla who finished her run and was moving inside. She smiled a good morning and he turned back to his friend. "I want to talk to her together, maybe she'll believe both of us- shit ill get harry to talk to her too if I have too." Draven nodded.

"Fine" she shrugged "But cook me breakfast first. I want an omelet." They both stood up and walked over to the kitchen. Noise was starting to rouse upstairs signifying the others were starting awaken. They heard Makayla giggling coming from the kitchen and Wendy saying.

"You cut the strawberries too thin, you have to make them thicker."

"Be a sweetheart and cut 'em for me then." They both heard a very unfamiliar voice say back to her. "Please." They looked at each other confused and walked in the massive kitchen. Standing at the stove wearing an apron, though with his shirt off and heavily tattooed was an unfamiliar face. Makayla stood by him mixing pancake batter and Wendy and Irene were standing by a bowl of fruit. The girls greeted them with a good morning but their eyes were focused on the stranger.

"Who the hell are you?"

"The man cooking breakfast." he said and turned around holding up the pan. "Can you tell what that is? Fucking Mickey Mouse."

"It looks good." Wendy said fluttering her eyelashes at him.

He winked at her "Thanks, now Edward and Draven, right?" Draven nodded. "Damien, now"He pointed to the table that had a stack of different shaped pancakes with various fruits or chocolate baked into it or drizzled on top. "Can you gather the others? I made breakfast."

Draven and Edward looked at each other confused until they heard a scream from upstairs.

~ ~ ~

The bed felt hard under you as you stirred from your sleep. You sucked a breath, the warmth of the covers pulling you back into sleep but no, you had to wake up. You heard stirring by the bed and figured it was Kali and you felt the bed move. You groaned at her to shut up and heard a deep chuckle just under your finger tips.

Yelping you shot open your eyes seeing a tee shirt under you. A laugh rumbled into the room and you looked up screaming in surprise. Stephan looked down at you, sitting up. "Whats wrong? You didn't miss me?"

Katya was the first one to burst into your room (hers was next door) and in not recognizing the man jumped on his back as he stood up. he nearly fell ontop of you. "Who are you?!"

Her screaming brought Shawn, V and Jungkook into the room. V tugged off Katya, her nails scratching into Stephans neck. You instantly shot up, Jungkook pushing you behind him while Shawn charged at Stephan.

"Get off of me." he easily pushed Shawn off but had a little harder time with Jungkook though after a few minutes managed to push him off. The ruckus pulled in Robin and Austin who quickly recognized Stephan and Robin ran between the two. Shawn and jungkook stopping from ramming into him again.

"THATS OUR NEW ROOMMATE!" Austin shouted "WHY ARE YOU HITTING HIM?!"

The boys calmed down a bit. "Sorry" Jungkook muttered but Shawn just eyed him. "Why were you in here?"

"Visiting my girl" Stephan said looking at you. "Or ex girl? I don't know she just stopped answering me."

hey so... I was rewatching pafl videos and I realized Something... about the one "glitch" or whatever it is. Well I'm sure it's not a glitch but idk how to call it... the one in occam's razor. Where the lyrics for like half a second change to "I NEED YOU" I'm sure you know what I mean ahfdsbafjsdafds

WELL. What do you think about it??? I always thought it was related to Sanya, she was the "you" in this song, right? But Yura doesn't actually say it, it's more like... what's on his mind, at least in my opinion. So maybe it's not about Sanya at all. I thought about it and what if it's towards KT? I don't have any evidence for it besides the one relationship chart ferry posted way back when where Yura's relationship towards Katya is "I think I needed you", so it's just the same words that made me think about this. But also --- we know Yura is laserfocused on getting her back, right? And he can't let Sanya in. He wants to, but he can't. Or he doesn't think he can. So would he really think he needs her in that moment? Or is he desperately hoping that getting KT back will solve everything, everything will be right again, atleast for him. The world will still suck and he won't be happy, but he'll have Katya again. He needs her. She's all that matters right now.

idk just something I thought about and wanted to tell you since your pafl posts are always really cool and you probably think about it a lot afsdhbfaskdjnfasbafs

oh hell yes i know about i need you. AND THANK YOU for liking my pafl posts i like writing them >:)

and yes that chart is sure something...

there are several individual components of this i could get real emotional about (top scores go to 'mentor' and 'we can be friends') but 'i think i needed you' kind of tops them all, not least for its uncharacteristic sincerity, like, this is not a thing yura would in a million years ever be able to express to anyone else, no matter how true it is. he has had this problem since way before the story even starts: cynicism and apathy and irony and grief have closed him off from the world, and he can't actually open up to anyone, not even the people he already loves...

... except kt, who is the only person in this whole tale for whom yura can stop smiling, where his facade breaks down and he doesn't have to live this lie that's eating him from the outside in. in front of kt he can even cry! which never happens again, either! throughout all the progressively nastier and nastier things that happen after that point he never breaks down like that again, he just keeps bottling that shit up. sometimes we get that thousand-yard-stare from the end of pafl-the-song, or that immensely bleak expression he's got in occam's razor, but the rest of the time he just keeps smiling:

and it's VERY BAD to look at. CHRIST. the disease of irony. the terrible terrible cynical comedy of having brought it on yourself and knowing it. the fatal affliction that is being able to see the blunt stupidity of your own demise. and then also the facade, the carelessness, which goes hand in hand with recklessness, the way he can't do anything but destroy, because trying to save something instead would be admitting that he cared, would be setting himself up for a failure he cannot take

but something about kt... because she's so alien, because she's so far out of context, because she's seen straight through him already anyway.... something about katya means he can crack open and weep, which is a considerable achievement. he can finally achieve some kind of honesty about how miserable he really is, how little hope he feels, how much he does care and how much it does hurt.... and honesty doesn't fix everything but like they say, the first step is admitting you have a problem. and maybe this could have saved him! he wasn't doomed by nearly so wide a margin then as he is now; maybe she could have made the difference, like he and sanya were trying to make the difference for her

that's the other thing that's so fucking sad about 'i think i needed you," is the phrasing -- firstly that it's "i think," which is so tentative, so uncertain, the way it sounds like something about himself he's just beginning to figure out, which he is only just daring to say for the first time. and then also that it is in past tense. i needed you... but now you're here. now maybe things will be okay. maybe you got here in time. maybe we are going somewhere after all.

but..... you know!

and then after this whole miserable arc we come to occam's razor, the lowest point, and then the upswing, and I NEED YOU, which on some level sure I have usually figured is proooobably primarily about sasha. she is indeed the 'you' in this song, and she's the other thing occam's razor is about: how yura loves her in ways he can't show or admit, how he wants very badly to let her in or let her know but at this point he can't - and even if he could, he has started to believe it his responsibility not to, because letting her get close to him is only going to get her hurt. after all.... that's what happened to katya!

"it's a dead-end endeavour, it's time you understood... "

... the same way sergei understood, because sergei did, at the end of strike 3. he looked yura in the eye and said: get away from me and get away from the people i love. i cared about you once, i hoped i could help you, i see now there's nothing i can do. you are a dead end story and we will not be going down with you. you just keep crashing down! and at this point yura thinks he's fuckin' right! cutting him off is the smart move, it's the right thing to do, and he is tormented by the fact that sanya won't do it, and he can't bear to do it to her, the way he should, really, if he really cared for her, he would,

and after all sergei was his mentor, his friend, who taught him so much, and it's not exactly hard to tell that sergei lives his entire life for sanya, and yura is walking on the edge of destroying that. he is a time-bomb and he knows it but he can't bear to push her out of the blast range. hell of a way to thank someone, huh? hell of a way to show his gratitude for everything sergei did to him. this whole situation won't bring you any good... it's a wicked endeavour, i've always understood....

hmmm aughhhh occam's razor breaks my heart. like. he knows he's going down the wrong path! he knows it is cruel, he knows it is wrong, he knows that he is doing things he has no right to do, devil's work, idle hands, a dead end endeavour. he knows it won't end well for him, or indeed for anyone, but the thing is that he's never had any hope for the future, and he isn't about to start now. it isn't about the future, it's about now. "i need, therefore i am" is a present tense statement. he isn't trying for a future anymore; he's trying for anything that he can define himself against, any meaning he can cling to, any star to look towards, and he's so desperate for it that he'll throw everything else aside. i need, therefore i am. i need, you.

i think you're absolutely right that it's representing something he can't actually say, and that's why it flickers out like it does, because as soon as it crosses his mind he overwrites it, but it's still there, it is a truth he cannot actually escape. i also think you're absolutely right that it works for katya too! which is.... deeply fucking unsettling

the idea that, on some level, he's not even doing this out of guilt, or hate, or self-destruction, but out of raw and legitimate want: because right before he told kt he knew she was a mutant was the last time he's been able to drop this goddamn smile, and he's decided that he will give anything to have her back, so at least he can die with his face free of it. that implies a sort of.... hyperfocus that's terrifyingly believable for yura, really. it doesn't matter what anyone else wants, or who will be hurt - in fact it doesn't even matter what kt wants - but losing her hurt too much; he couldn't take it, he couldn't stand it, he needs to have her back. he has to make that hurt go away. and like a wolf with its foot in the trap he is perfectly willing to chew himself into pieces if that's what it takes to get out of there....

but also i think my ultimate conclusion about "i need you" is that it's not really about who he's talking to specifically. it could be sanya, it could be katya, it could be both, heck he could be talking to any number of people. (after all he also needs dima, in the same very uncomfortable sense that he also needed, say, the gun!)

the point really is just that he says it at all; or rather doesn't say it but it slips out, which is if anything more telling in the end. he backtracks, and he amends, and he seals his heart tighter - therefore I am, he says, turning it back to the first person, making it all about him, cutting everyone else out of the equation...

but ultimately he can't! as none of us can! man is not an island! we went over all this with sergei: none of us can do anything alone, it's just not how it fuckin' works, we don't actually get a choice about it. it's olya who's right: we all need someone By Our Side. (even dmitry did; for a minute there he was completely alone, it's true, but don't let's pretend it wouldn't have killed him if he hadn't found anya.) we all need somebody we can hold on to; no one is actually capable of standing alone

yura's so determined to be heartless - to be unwavering - occam's razor is all about him throwing himself off that edge, throwing away his broken heart rather than having to feel it bleeding, remaking himself as somebody willing to stop seeing other people as people (and, as terry pratchett says, evil begins when you start treating people like things.) he is determined to defined by nothing except what he needs, to exist only the first person, to chop everyone else out of the equation. and in a way he's succeeding, and i am terrified of what he is going to do because of it.... but it's also never going to fuckin' succeed! he can't actually cut sanya off or cut her free! he can't pretend to be heartless when he is doing this all ultimately for love of kt, and grief for the loss of her!

this cold-eyed creature here, this horrid shadow-edged thing he thinks he can become, it's just not him; it's not going to work out for him; it's a dead-end endeavour in itself. "i need therefore i am" is all first persons, but what it is eliding, what it is trying not to say, and what comes out anyway, is that what he needs is - like olya - still someone else

the mistake yura is making - okay, one of several mistakes - is thinking that he can escape hurting if he doesn't have a soul left to be hurt. that if he loves nothing and feels nothing and is unflinchingly ready to destroy or kill to get what he wants he can be free of pain: that it will be as simple as getting what he wants, or dying in the attempt (preferably very much not with a whimper, but with a blast.)

and the scariest thing is that in a very practical sense he is right, as in, it will make him capable of doing terrible things, it will quite possibly set him free, and it will probably kill him; but he is also deeply and miserably wrong, because you can't actually stop caring that easily. you can't stop feeling. and if he keeps chasing it like he is he's going to get the worst of both worlds, and he will have destroyed or pushed away everything he loved and everything that loved him, and he will still absolutely feel it

'cos she was gonna get it but smiles and stays put 'cos not gonna follow her that hard] Tess: [is probably ages cos getting waylaid by punters but comes back to stand where she was cos Katya is less annoying than the other dickheads here] Katya: [has just been grooving, with lads she wanna, avoiding the ones she don't like 'scuse me, in that vain running up to Tess and being like 'save me' in her ear so this particular one takes the hint] Tess: [death stares whoever it is like off you fuck now cos you don't wanna start shit with her boy] Katya: [shrugs at him like whoops sorry but is 😏 so evidently not 'Мудак' (Mu-dak, specifically for dudes) as she turns back to Tess, shaking her head] Fearghal: [suddenly popping back up like 'Dunno what you just called me but don't reckon I deserve it, like'] Tess: [is also 😏 because amused by Katya's antics anyway but have to keep the expression on around Fearghal of course and puts a 🚬 in his hand immediately like] Fearghal: [looks at it then at her like confusion 'cos high but then 💡 and nods her way like oh yeah, cheers and puts it behind his ear for later and puts an arm around Katya who is squishing his face like 'never!'] Tess: [when they are nothing like Josh or Summer but it reminds her of having friends so she wants to die just drinking too fast like] Fearghal: [the mood so neither of them is gonna call her out on it even though they see it, Fearghal specifically looking at her like 'Celebrating?' and a face like same 'cos doesn't need saying that obvs not but Katya raising whatever she's got like 'Ha За здоровье!'] Tess: [when she just ignores him and cheers Katya with whatever you're drinking as like I'll be off now but then she sees that the gruesome twosome are here and straight up freezes] Fearghal: [when you both look and are both 😒 like eurgh 'cos wouldn't fuck with either of them as is and like everyone knows who they are in relation to Tess so get why she's reacted like that, so he goes off to get more drinks having to go past them like 'scuse me dickheads and Katya turning her back so Tess can stand her ground and not but still look like they having an in-depth convo 'she was your friend' a statement way more than a question 'I think she would like to be you, she is an idiot'] Tess: [watching them kiss and dance together cos can't look away so I hope Fearghal barges into them even if he didn't need to so she can stop and down the rest of her drink to get rid of the taste of blood in her mouth from holding herself back from doing anything else since she's still got drugs on her like we said, can't be starting drama especially with Summer who's 100% that bitch. About to nod at Katya because she was her friend for such a long time but then snapping the fuck out of that instinct and shaking her head because not anymore clearly and scoffing because yeah Summer is an idiot, who'd wanna be her when she doesn't even wanna] Fearghal: [Katya scoffs back 'She would rather be thought pretty and have boyfriend than have things that matters but this is like all girls our age, yes? Silly, knowing nothing about anything.' Fearghal coming back with three of whatever and shoving one at Tess as quick as she did the cigarette, swapping it for her empty, throwing it not at Summer and Josh but in their general direction 'What would you like to do?' Katya adds, taking a swig of her drink 'We can find you more customers if you would like'] Tess: [literally would wanna say something about how much Josh and the family they were meant to be did matter but not drunk enough for that although she blatantly will be soon cos haven't eaten anything in forever probably and would drink like half the drink he just gave her immediately like what could go wrong here. Finally saying 'Yeah' to both things but so quietly they'd struggle to hear it over this rave if they were anybody else and making herself move into the crowd to get customers instead of away which is what she'd wanna do] Fearghal: [she can go off to get all the lads and clearly get so fucked up 'cos all gonna buy her some too 'cos that's the ploy here, whereas he's gonna stay in sight 'cos shamelessly protective and can step in if anything kicks off with those two] Tess: [god bless, not all heroes wear capes lads, I appreciate less lads for Tess to have to deal with as she's getting white girl wasted in this club] Fearghal: [go have a cry you deserve it lbr] Tess: [just in the bathroom like the girly cliche you're not] Fearghal: [have at it honey, shame he can't smack Josh yet really] Tess: [kick everyone out first though you don't need that to be your rep] Fearghal: [meanwhile actually do smack him 'cos any reason at a party where everyone's fucked up] Tess: [hooray for coming back and them being gone] Fearghal: [small blessings, and they've probably shifted a fair amount between 'em so] Tess: [give this smol drunk child her money lads and she'll try not to cry on you] Fearghal: [all the funds for you] Tess: [give them a drug freebie like thanks even if Katya might wanna save hers for later if she's had loads] Fearghal: [I hope you've cheeked some for later or you'll be so skyhigh/about to die lol] Tess: [when she'd just wanna leave but like that's not her life]

I don't blame you, for being you (but you can't blame me for hating it): Chapter 1/? (Trixya) - cherry bomb

AN: Hi guys! This is my first time submitting a work for AQ so im super nervous but I hope y'all will like this. Y'all can also talk to me on my tumblr if you want ;)

Also found on AO3

Trixie didn’t expect her first day being a Senior to be this eventful.

From her freshman to sophomore year, Trixie always felt nervous when it was the first day of school. The constant need to make a good impression both to her teachers and students made her hyperaware of everything she said when it was time to do icebreakers for the class. It was hard not be the stereotypical Scared Freshman, with her braces, her still-prominent midwestern accent, and her obsession with Dolly Parton. Add to the fact that she was a new student; a recent transfer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But now, as a senior, she felt that it was a little unnecessary. Almost everyone knew each other by junior year, she didn’t think it was really important to say 3 things about herself in front of the class anymore. And plus, almost everyone in her year knew her. Whether it was through her Theater Club, through social media, or simply because they knew her, Trixie can admit she’s pretty high up in the popularity scale.

But right now, she was in her first class, 5 minutes early. She sighed. This is gonna be a long day.

She looks up from her desk and as students pile in, she sees Shea Couleè, one of her closest friends, go inside the classroom in a hurry and sit behind her. God, at least she knows somebody now.

Trixie was about to say hi when Shea cut her off. “Uh, I dont want to alarm you Trix but, apparently Katya’s back.”

She absentmindedly doodled on the margins of her planner, tuning out the voice of the teacher discussing the syllabus.

Trixie hasn’t been paying attention for the past three or so classes.

She tried not to think about it. Katya’s back. Katya’s back. Fuck. After disappearing for a goddamn year because she won a competition to go to a school in god-knows-where, she suddenly comes back? She hasn’t heard her name since junior year, and she hasn’t talked to her since mid-sophomore year. Why the fuck did she decide to come back now? Why the fuck was she suddenly nervous? And why the fuck did she suddenly care? It wasn’t like they even knew each other anymore.

She doesn’t know what to do with this information.

 Trixie was, to put it lightly, kind-of, maybe, freaking the fuck out. For someone who loves talking to people and thrives on attention, she’s almost dreading having to interact with Katya again. A million questions are going through her head. Oh god, what if she became a bitch? (Not likely.) What if she embarrassed herself in front of Katya? (Likely, goddamnit.) What if Trixie was a bitch? (Kind of likely.) And,

What if Katya forgot about her? (Really, really fucking likely.)

 Just as she thought she was having an early midlife crisis, the bell suddenly rang, jolting her out of her thoughts.

“Thank fucking god.” She muttered to herself, grabbing her bag. Deliberately ignoring both the rush of the students leaving the classroom for lunch and Shea’s stare.

She sees Shea keeping up with her pace just as she exits the room, “You better tell me how did you know about this or I’m gonna have a brain aneurysm.”

“Damn, Katya’s back? I’m surprised Trix hasn’t died of a stroke yet.” Kim says after taking a bite out of her lunch, holding back a grin.

“Oh please, I’m surprised her brain hasn’t melted from all the worrying that she’s doing. And it’s over Katya.” Pearl says with a laugh.

“Can both of you stop, ” Trixie groaned, putting her face in her hands, willing the ground to just take her. “It’s not even that big of a deal.”

Shea raised her eyebrow. “Yea, sure, Miss You-Better-Tell-Me-More-About-This-Or-I’m-Gonna-Have-A-Brain-Aneurysm. It’s definitely not that big of a deal.”

 (When it was time for lunch, she had practically sprinted over to where Kim and Pearl where eating, pulling Shea down to sit with her so fast she almost missed the bench of the lunch table. After knowing through Sasha Velour (Trixie didn’t miss Shea’s blush, or Kim’s smirk) that Katya was due to come back to school tomorrow, an icy feeling began to set in her stomach. Again.)

“Girl,” Shea says after Kim and Pearls laughter has died down, “what are you gonna do now?”

“What am I gonna do about what.“ Trivia deadpanned. Shea rolled her eyes.

“Bitch, you know what I’m talking about! What are you gonna do now that Katya’s back?”

Oh. That.

Now, if Trixie was honest with herself, she would’ve said that she’d try to patch things up with Katya again. I mean, it was the logical thing to do, try to become friends again with your ex-best friend whom you haven’t talked to in almost two years. But, if Trixie was being completely honest with herself,

“I don’t know, okay?” Trixie muttered, poking at her lunch rather than looking at Shea. “I don’t even know if I want to talk to her.”

Scratch that, Trixie doesn’t even know if she can talk to her. And it was the truth. Trixie doesn’t exactly know what would be the right thing to do now that Katya’s back. Should she reconcile with her? Try and catch up? Become friends (jesus fuck) again? They had been best friends for a long time, but they’d also been strangers just as long, too. She knows herself well enough to say that reconciling with her ex-best friend after not talking to each other for over a year and a half isn’t the easiest thing.

Pearl and Shea looked at each other, not sure how to reply to what Trixie said. Kim sighed, she can practically hear Shea say “Oh girl,“ in her head.

“Trix,” She puts her lunch down, “At least say hi if you see her tomorrow, yeah? We can always just talk about this after school, if you want.”

“Why are we even talking about this,” Trixie whines.

Pearl stares at her incredulously, as if the answer’s not obvious. “Because it’s Katya.”

[ardalionandnatalia]

Moderata: But my story is unsavory. Please sit down, forgive my poor manners. Being in this land has made me forget civility. At the end of my revelation, I shall provide you an item my Natalia will know is from me and me alone. Please listen if you will. You may judge me or not as you listen.

Katya: I will do that. *takes a seat and listens to Moderata*

Moderata: *points to a flat-topped rock near an olive tree for her to sit*

Katya sits there.

Moderata: My fate was chartered out for me, and had I followed it, I would not have caused pain to my husband and child, for they not have had me for their wife and mother.

Katya: What do you mean...?

Moderata: In my mortal life, I was born to a courtesan. A harlot, really. I was given to a convent under the pretense of being an orphan. Granted a good education, I was raised under the Sisters until I was 12 years old. My mother collected me, pretending to be a lost aunt of mine. She revealed the truth. She forced me to become a courtesan shortly thereafter. My virginity was bargained for the highest stake at a gambling game, and I lost my virginity to a greedy lecher. From there, I serviced many a man hungry for a woman's body to pleasure themselves with. I was merely a vessel, like a filthy clay pot, for their desires. Over time, their consumption took its toll on my body. When my mother died, I was free. I resorted to a practice of pretense. I passed myself off as a noble woman, and sought an unsuspecting man for a potential patron. Instead, I met a man. A glass merchant. For the first time, I was treated as a person, not a vessel for a man's carnal pleasure. We formed a friendship. He respected me. I respected him. He even trusted me with his greatest secret- he was Jew. But I, being a coward, shamefully hid my own truth. Yet he knew all along and never once confronted or condemned me.

Moderata: Yes, despite what you consider a folly, he actually loved me. And I loved him though I could not convey it

Katya lowers her head, ashamed of all of her assumptions she had made before.

Moderata: I feared life would not always be kind or fair, so I forced my daughter to prepare for the worst. In our world and in our time, beauty was our only worth- besides our purse. I feared my Natalia would be bereft by the law, being a woman with little rights to anything. I wanted her to be beautiful and find a wealthy husband to secure our fortune. I wanted her... to be happy. instead, I was the author of my poor child's sorrows.

Katya nods, listening further.

Katya: So that was why you acted the way you did towards her.

Moderata: I-I never meant for her to all into the condition she had. I alone bear the blame, despite what she might tell you. If only I trusted my husband and acted as a more gentle mother, our family would have been happier. I never intended for her to hate herself so much, to ruin her own self because of what I said and how I molded her.

Katya: I see.

Katya: Why don't you say all of this to her directly?

Moderata: But I know nothing of the language of love. I saw my husband act on it, he knew it well enough. But I was born and grown cold through my life.

Katya: If you feel as bad as you say you do, would it not be better for you to say it to her directly now that you understand the past better? And can look at yourself more critically/

Moderata: How could anyone accept their own mother is a harlot? Imagine her shame. She would hate me more.

Moderata: But she will know the truth at last. Perhaps she can forgive me at last, but perhaps not for being what I was.

Katya: I don't think I'm the best person to tell her about this.

Katya: she would definitely hate me and you even more.

Katya: She would think I'm continuing to mock her family and that I am insulting her, and that if this was all true, she would hate you for not telling her the truth for so many yeras.

Katya: I suggest you tell her the truth yourself, OR, neither of us tells her anything.

Moderata: Perhaps you are right.But she must know the truth. Or is it better to let her live in this comfortable deceit?

Katya: You should send a letter to her.

Katya: That way you can talk to her directly without having to see her directly.

Moderata: Every day I watch her. Every day, I see her blossom and grow. I want to speak to her. I want to see her closely. But she must truly hate me with ever fiber of her being. She will only spite me if I dare betray my presence.

*Her face remains a stoic mask, but now a tear trails down her smooth cheek*

Moderata: Tell me, Katya, what does she say of me? What does she think of me? What does she tell you?

Moderata: how can you assume that she hates you so much when you haven't seen proof of it and are only making assumptions?

*Katya, I mean, not Moderata

Katya: Moderata, I think you need to stop worrying and just tell her, and if she hates you, then so be it. You can't control it. You just need to fulfill your duty of being honest to her.

Moderata: She hated me in our mortal life. Why should she cease her hatred of me now? Has she left that behind here? I- I can't bear to have her hate me still. I am afraid to see what will come of it. But perhaps you are right. Natalia must know the truth- she must know about myself and her father. We never intended to make her miserable. She must know that. I only hope she can live with the fact her mother was a.... a... *her voice trails off quietly. She bites her lips and closes her eyes*

Katya: I'm sure you can talk to her quite soon. Then you will no longer have to feel so guilty about never telling her the truth

Katya: Would you like me to bring you to her?

Katya: Would that make things better, to have a third party calm the emotions between the two of you?

A rustling sound scratches through the grove, as though someone or something is skimming amonst the tree-tops. Leaves scatter down.

Perking up like a frightened doe, Moderata startles and raises straight in alert alarm. She peers above the lattice of the treetops to ascertain the source of the sound.

A glimpse of glittering eyes and a lavender chiton betray a familiar presence...

Moderata: *suddenly turns to Katya* Katya, did you betray me? *alarmed*

Katya: What? No?! I didn't even expect this! Natalia??

Unable to sleep because of the argument, Natalia retreated to the grove that night to cool her temper off and think clearly of what Katya confronted her with. Hearing a familiar voice, Natalia hovered through the treetops and watched from above the unusual female figure converse with Katya. As the two conversed, Natalia realizes the female like flame is none other than her mother. Stunned beyond belief, Natalia is dumbfound.

Alina and friends Chapter 3:Under the water.

The heroes were still going in search of black animals and decided to stop near the Sea of Okhotsk.

Heroes:Wow!

Bokko:I think this is the Sea of Okhotsk.

Alina:Let's all get some rest and hit the road.

Krash:I'm going swimming! Go ahead! (With Bokko and Daisy swimming)

The others just sat down and watched the sea while the three were swimming.

Alina:I love going to the sea and swimming. But I can't right now.

Lula:We know you're in casual clothes.

Sanya:But we'll watch.

Later when the trio were sprayed with each other, Chiko dropped my glasses.

Krash:Oh, I'll lift your glasses. (He took a deep breath and dived. When he took the glasses, he noticed that he could breathe underwater and came out of the water) Can you imagine? When I dived, I could breathe.

Chiko:It's not impossible. We're not fish.

Daisy:Come on. (She dived and then turned out of the water) Really...

Alina:What are you guys doing there?

Krash:When I plunged into the water, I could breathe like I was immortal.

Bokko:It's impossible. All of us except the axolotl like Sanya can't breathe underwater.

Chiko:But we just checked it out.

Daisy:If you don't believe us, then here. (She dived into the water)

The heroes surprisingly waited for 1 minute before Daisy got out of the water.

Lula:One minute has passed and... the truth.

Alina:So we can cross the Pacific Ocean without a boat, even though there are predators there.

Katya:But we will try to be careful.

Alina:Forward.

The heroes dived into the water without any problems and continued on their way. They always tried to stay away from predators. They were still sailing in the Pacific Ocean.

Rosa:I've never seen this beauty in the ocean in my life.

Alina:So do I, and so do some. Because we don't know how many people have seen it.

Suddenly Sanya noticed that colorful clouds similar to flowers were floating in the water.

Sanya:Guys, there's something wrong with the water (The others noticed the clouds).

Julia: It's strange, they didn't say anything about the Pacific Ocean.

Alina:Guys, this is where Bikini Bottom lives.

Katya:Oh no, that's not enough yet.

Alina:You can cover your ears.

Katya:Thank you. (She covered her ears)

Krash:And what doesn't she like?

Alina:It's just that SpongeBob squarepants lives in this city. This is my favorite childhood animated series, it's really stupid. But I liked it anyway.

Daisy:So he can help us.

Alina:But if they agree. They don't really trust those who eat fish. I don't eat except in rolls.

Sanya:But to be honest, I'm worried that Katya will be nervous.

Katya:Yes... but I can't get away.

Chiko:Maybe you won't look at them, in case it works?

Katya:Well, I'll try.

Alina:Then go ahead.

The heroes immediately went to Bikini Bottom. They saw a sign with the inscription of the city and sent it there. But surprisingly there was no one, as if abandoned.

Alina:It strange, did we come to the wrong place?

Carlin:No, I'm going here. But clearly not there.

Julia: (I noticed something) I'm not a fan, but I think they'd all run here.

Julia pointed to the Krusty Krab restaurant, which looked like a crab bait.

Alina: Krusty Krab, a restaurant where they cook burgers.

Krash:So SpongeBob is here. (Jumping) Come on.

The heroes approached the restaurant and stopped at the door. They were right when they saw the sea creatures sitting at the table.

Alina:That's right, in the restaurant.

In the kitchen.

The cutlets were fried on the stove while the spatula was turning them. Later, someone's yellow hands open a blue cupboard and take out a jar of pickles. Then they cut tomatoes, cheese, salads and onions. Then they put all the ingredients in rolls and make burgers. It was only when he opened the door that SpongeBob himself appeared.

Spongebob:(Happily) Who needs burgers?

Visitors:To me!

SpongeBob distributes burgers to all visitors. He walked over to the table where his best friend Patrick Star was sitting.

Spongebob:Hi Patrick.

Patrick:Hello SpongeBob.

Spongebob:(Puts 20 burgers on the table) Your favorites.

Patrick:Thank you very much. (There are burgers)

Later, SpongeBob walked past Squidward the octopus, who was standing on the cash register boat.

Spongebob:How are things going Squidward?

Squidward:(Displeased) I have no idea.

Then SpongeBob puts a burger on the table for her friend Sandy Squirrel.

Spongebob:Bon appetit Sandy.

Sandy:Thanks SpongeBob.

The old man is a fish:(I noticed that there are no cucumbers in the burger) Sorry, but there are no cucumbers in the burger. (SpongeBob put cucumbers in the burger) That's another matter.

Spongebob:I love my job.

Later, Mr. Krabs, the crab, comes out of the office.

Mr. Krabs:Oh, what a beautiful day when the restaurant has all the residents of Bikini Bottom. (To SpongeBob and Squidward) I'll come out all right.

Spongebob:That's right, Captain.

Alina:I can't believe there are any.

Daisy:Yeah, SpongeBob is a funny dude.

Suddenly, when the door opened, the heroes fell. And all the inhabitants of the sea saw and gasped, that this caused Mr. Krabs to approach them with displeasure.

Mr. Krabs:(Displeased) I didn't get it, who are you?(The heroes stood up)

Alina:I'm sorry, Mr. Krabs, we didn't mean to disturb you.

Mr. Krabs:(Displeased) And me-how- do you know my name?

Alina:I watched the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.

SpongeBob: Huh? About me?

Alina:Yes, about all of you.

Patrick:It can't be, we're stars! Then why don't they give an Oscar?

Alina:It's an accident to be honest, but it's true.

Spongebob:(He approached the heroes) And what brings you here And how do you breathe in the water?

Alina:So we are surprised ourselves.

Sandy:And it happened a long time ago when I was experimenting and when the device collapsed, everyone from the surface began to breathe. We even hid from people.

Alina:If anything, we know because of the hunt.

Mr. Krabs:Yes, and you're not even human. But why did you come anyway?

Alina:We are looking for the Honey Badger and his black beasts.

Sandy:Hey, I've heard the news about them. They went all over the world and took everything away.

Heroes:What?

Alina:And where are they going now?

Sandy:They're heading to North America.

Krash:Now we know where he went.

Alina:And we are not just going, we are even looking for friends to become stronger.

Spongebob:Not happening... And you're offering this to us?

Alina:No, what are you? You can stay. And we were kicked out by the way.

Katya:*She sighed happily* thank God.

Spongebob:What are you? I'm ready.

Katya: What?

Spongebob:Even though I'm weak, someone definitely needs help.

Patrick:If so? (Politely stood up) I'm ready.

Sandy:(She went up to the heroes) I'll go with you too. You're lucky that I'm good at karate.

Squidward:(He crossed his arms to his chest) And I'm not going.

Mr. Krabs:Squidward, I'm going to fire you for this.

Squidward:(Displeased) Okay, I'll go.

Mr. Krabs:So am I.

Alina:Well, if that's the case, then-

Spongebob:Brothers!

Mrs. Puff:Like I had.

Spongebob:Before we leave, I'll tell everyone you'll have to put up with no burgers. Meanwhile, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Sandy will go with new friends to the terrible enemy. Wish us all good luck.

Visitors:Have a nice trip!

Alina:Then go ahead.

Squidward:What's the matter with her? (Everyone looked at Katya)

Alina:She just doesn't like the animated series about you, he only talks to her.

Spongebob:Okay.

The heroes left the restaurant and hit the road. They found themselves in a jellyfish field.

Christina:And how long will it take.

Sandy:Oh, only today is the last day of this phenomenon. And 2 years have passed.

Sanya:Wow! How long did you stand it?

Sandy:It just happened.

Alina:Okay guys, let's take a break.

The heroes sat down on the rocks.

Spongebob:And tell me what you have on land. We've only been to the USA.

Krash:Well, we live in Russia, in Omsk. And Alina and her friends are in Novorossiysk. We are not like you.

While the characters were talking, Patrick saw the hook and joyfully approached it.

Patrick:Now you can have fun. (Swinging on the hook)

On the surface of the water.

The fishing rod twitched on the boat until a brown hand with scales took it, and a brush with charcoal.

In the water.

Katya, looking at the characters, decided to ask Aline.

Katya:Look, of course I don't like the series and SpongeBob himself... You're not mad, are you?

Alina:No, I haven't been mad at this for a long time. You just don't talk to them.

Katya:Thank you.

Alina:Okay. (She stood up) We have to go to- where's Patrick?

Patrick:And I'm here! (The heroes got scared) I'm riding here.

Spongebob:(Scared)Patrick, this is a trap! (They came up with the others and jumped on the hook)

On the surface.

Because of the load, the spoon began to shake.

???(Female):Oh my God, did I catch a shark?

In the water.

Patrick:Oh, do you guys want to swing too?

Alina:No, we want to save you. Because you're on the fisherman's hook.

Spongebob:Or else we all... (Looked down and clicked off with the rest)

Alina:Guys? What's the problem... (Looked down and got scared) MA!

Suddenly, when they were taken out, the heroes took off. Alina looked at the sky with admiration.

Alina: Wow... I... fly like a bird... or- (Falls) BA!

The heroes fell onto the boat, causing it to shake. Later, the heroes noticed a creature with a head like a volcano.

Patrick:Ah! The monster!

Monster:Wow... What kind of phenomenon is this?

Alina:This is Kayna from the singing Monsters game.

Kayna:How do you know that?

Alina:I played it and liked it. By the way, my name is Alina. And these are my friends.

Kayna:Yeah, I definitely won't eat.

Spongebob:So you were fishing?

Squidward:So where are you from?

Kayna:I'm from the world of singing monsters. And how I got there, I decided to investigate.

Alina:I see, but we're going to the Honey Badger.

Barry:This black bear took everything from the whole world except from you.

Patrick:He's so scary and ferocious.

Kayna:I saw it when I was swimming. Fortunately, they didn't notice me. But I'll make you happy, I'm going there too.

Krash:Yes? So let's be friends and join our company.

Daisy:Great, but what do we call it?

Alina:I don't know who to tell the friendship of the whole world.

Lula:And what I like.

Kayna:If so, then go ahead.

The song "Friendship of the whole world"

[Alina]

And there are people and creatures in this world

But for some reason, they all don't want to live together.

And it's all good, it will never end

And that's why we're here... Peace friendship of the world

[Lula, Daisy and Sanya]

When we're all together, it's okay for us

[Kikoriki]

And we are immediately ready to come to the rescue

[SpongeBob and his friends]

Our team consists of a lot of characters

[Alina and Kayna]

And the characters themselves, cartoons and games

Chorus:

[All]

And that's when we always stick together.

And we are not afraid of evil or thunderstorms.

And that's when we always love each other.

And we never quarrel.

Krash:Good song.

SpongeBob: And that's about us.

Patrick:And we will have our own motto.

Daisy:Just which one?

Alina:It's worth thinking about.

To be continued...

Van Der Wulff: At Home

~~~

The speakeasy turned lounge, Serenity, that lay in the center of town was the normal neutral meeting ground of the gangs in the town. The meeting room was like going back in time to the roaring twenties. Pretty girls serving drinks and cigars, eclectic colors splashed on the wall and almost all the furniture was either velvet or leather. Negan had invited a few people which automatically raised questions because normally Negan would just invite a small group to his club, there was no need to go to serenity if there wasn't a problem. He knew he was sending a message, a message that everyone immediately understood. There was a breach of trust or honor and now everyone knew it.

Makayla had tried to get her and Draven invited to the club but it was exclusive. No one got in without an invitation and a password, even Rio wouldn't break those rules. She let him have it with how pissed she was but the only thing he could do was have her wait in his escalade with Makayla.

They both watched him go in and after serval attempts to get in herself, Draven angrily sat a nearby bench across the street. Makayla tried to get her back in the car especially when the January night gave way to fat flakes of snow, but when Draven made up her mind, nothing could stop her.

The wind whirled around them both and Makayla curled into Draven's side, unwilling to leave her for the warmth of the car. Draven huffed as she watched expensive cars pull up to the lounge and various powerful men whisper the password and present their invitations to the host. She had just as if not more of a right to be in attendance. It was her group that was missing- we were Funhouse before we worked for Bethany or Negan or Rio.

But that didn't matter because she was outside freezing her ass off just hoping to grab even the table scraps of what was happening and why there was a discussion about it. Were we dead? Did another gang kidnap us? Were we targets? What if we had run away? She pulled a cigarette from her pocket quickly lighting it and stuffing it in her mouth before placing her could hand backing her pocket. She nearly spat it out when she saw a familiar red lambo pull up. She watched as both GD and TOP walked out of the limo.

"What the fuck are they doing here?" She hissed, her own breath visible next to the whisps of the cigarette smoke.

"They came back last week." Makayla said softly watching as they spoke to the attendant at the door. "They tried to come by the house but Hoodie didn't let them in."

"Why the fuck are they going in there?!" Draven barked standing up just as the two men disappeared into the building. Makayla pulled her back down trying to calm her down but she wasn't having it. "No! This is fucking bullshit! I should be in there! WE should be in there! They are funhouse members! They are with us! Not stupid-ass Negan or stupid ass Joker or any of those assholes in there!" Her voice got higher and cracked as she let her frustration out. "I sent Katya there! I sent her to find Adi! and she knows as much as fucking we do here! Rio knows as much as we do and I feel bad that I keep having you ask." Makayla shook her head, Draven never made her, she asked because she was scared too. But Draven didn't listen to her, all her frustration and hopelessness bubbling over. "Robin and Damien has stopped giving us any answers if he even knows! Fucking Hoodie is two steps away from going back to that cunt Amber just to get answers! Naomi can't be fucking bothered to come to house meetings or even stay at the goddamn house because she's up Namjoon's ass! and Kassie thinks we should be planning funerals for both of them!" She let out a sob and but she kept talking unaware she was crying as she spoke. "We sent Xavier to jail and nothing came out of it! No answers! No Adi! No Kay! and I'm scared! I'm terrified and powerless and I nothing I do-!" she slumped back down next to Makayla who instantly threw her arm over her friend and pulled her in a hug. Draven's voice softened as she leaned into the much needed embrace. "I don't know what else I can do." She stubbornly wiped her eyes, cursing herself for crying.

"We'll figure it out." Makayla whispered to her. "I promise."

~~~

Negan arrived first followed shortly by J and Robin. Negan was counting on him arriving first wanting to pull his friend aside to ask him personally about the incriminating cards Edward has sent him a picture of. But J was being purposely vague and only wanted to talk in the meeting room. Negan obliged and here they were sitting across from each other at the meeting table. The heavy weight of the joker cards in Greece hung in the air.

"It was your son, my godson that took that girl there. Whisking away a drunk girl out of her mind to a foreign country then he looses her." He shook his head and grimaced. "While I appreciate the genius of using me as a scapegoat, I was in town this entire time searching for my daughter." He tossed the copy of the joker card picture away. "this is a pathetic copy cat."

"For all we know," Bethany spoke up, the only woman at the table. "You and your daughter are behind this." She looked at Negan who gave her no emotion back but her words did resonate in his head. "Maybe you trying to start a war - you know friends stab you in the back more then enemies."

Lucian rolled his eyes, tapping his jeweled cane on the table, a woman rushing to refill his drink. "Say we do have a copycat. Who could it be and what's the end game?"

"Who better then his children?" Bethany said shrugging "People who truly know him."

"Both my sister and Arianna were kidnapped." Robin said lowly, his jaw tight trying to hold his anger. "Adi by Shawn and maybe someone else but Joker had nothing to do with either.

"Of course you would believe that." Bethany frowned at him "You're still young."

"Who do you know in Greece?" Rio asked quickly seeing Robin's glare at Bethany. Makayla was waiting for him and this meeting could not end with him having blood on him.

"Shawn." J's red smile curled up wide. "Edward and that little blonde one." He laughed and the tension in the room rose. "I have no idea. I meet people all the time and when I was on top everyone knew about The Joker."

"You've been in jail for years." Negan said simply. "The person would have to have known you from the past."

"That can be anyone." j sighed. "They obviously knew your connection with me which means they won't kill her until I give them my attention. We have time to find the little rabbit. She's pretty safe considering-"

The door opened and the table turned to see who was walking in late. It was GD, T.O.P next to him. "I apologize I'm late but if none of you can find her, I will."

Can't Keep A Good Girl Down Ch 6 - Laurie

A/N; Hi my name’s Phi Phi O'Hara and I’ll be auditioning for the villain of season 4

Summary; the auditions for Manila’s replacement take place but no one thought to tell Phi Phi, she’ll have them shook anyway.

Phi Phi got into work early the day of the auditions, which she wasn’t aware of yet. She could hear the music as she came down the stairs into the club and she was pissed at what she saw. Bianca and Chad sitting at a table, clearly watching a bunch of girls who definitely only had left feet auditioning for them. They promised that they’d tell her when they were having their next audition and yet not a word was sent her way.

Once the music ended, Bianca subtly rolled her eyes. “Thank you ladies.” The girls started to file out and they started filtering through their headshots. As this was happening, Phi Phi made her way backstage – she’d audition for them and she was going to get it.

Chad sighed exasperated, setting down a headshot of another potential. “Where are all the good dancers in LA?”

Bianca snickered and shook her head. “Dancing with the stars on prime time.”

“Maybe Alyssa knows someone, she got us Laganja.” Chad was at her wits end trying to find Manila’s replacement.

“Alright.” Bianca agreed, holding up a few headshots. “I don’t like any of them, looked like headless chickens on stage.” She muttered, placing down the pictures.

“I don’t love any of them.” Chad muttered – she was being picky, but she was allowed, this was her show. She pointed to a tall dark woman’s headshot. “She’s the best one.” But both were distracted by the sound of music filtering through the club. They looked to the stage and saw their waitress beginning one of the clubs most well known numbers.

Bianca and Chad were baffled by this; as if they didn’t remember that if there was anyone who wanted to be on this stage more than Phi Phi. “What is she doing?” Chad asked, turning to Bianca.

“I think she’s auditioning. That or she’s seducing an empty club.” Bianca replied dryly, turning to their sound manager. “Dave cut the music.”

Phi Phi opened her eyes when the music stopped. “Hold on a second, I know I can do this.”

“And it’s sweet that you think you can, Phi Phi, but you’re not ready for my club.” Chad explained, shaking her head.

“Chad, tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll do it.” She shot back, not about to give up on her dream.

“Honey, I’m looking for someone who can do the routines.” Chad replied, getting up from her chair.

Do the routines? What was she just doing then?! “Excuse me?” Phi Phi asked in disbelief, eyes narrowing as Chad walked away from the table. “I’m talking to you!” She barked, which made Chad turn back around and Bianca look at her incredulously. “Just tell me what you want, please?” Phi Phi tried again, softer this time.

Chad rolled her eyes, walking closer to the stage; the girl really was getting on her last nerve. “I can’t tell you, no one can. You’ve got to make me believe you belong up there. That you own the stage and anyone who tries to take that away from you is looking for a fight. You want to show me something, show me that, Phi Phi.”

The waitress closed her eyes, nodding. “Alright, which number do you want to see? I know every single one.”

Chad laughed sharply under her breath. “You know every single one?” She asked disbelieving.

Phi Phi narrowed her eyes, folding both arms across her chest. “Which one do you want to see?!”

The older queen needed to see this to believe it, so she decided to give her a chance. Every number. She’d see about that, she turned back to return to her seat, nodding her head towards the sound engineer. “Hot Stuff.”

Before the music started, Phi Phi grabbed a chair from the back. She needed it for the first and second verse. Once she begun, it was more than just Bianca and Chad who were judging her.

Manila, Willam and Katya were coming in to rehearse. While Manila and Katya looked quite impressed, Willam was less so. He wanted Phi Phi gone, not on stage with them.

As the girls came in, so was Sharon, from the back though and she was thrilled to see Phi Phi on stage, working the chair and lip syncing to the song. What was wonderful about Phi Phi was that she looked like she was truly enjoying herself and Sharon was enjoying watching her too, especially when she came to the edge of the stage for the last verse. It was sensual, it was the best she had seen that number done since Alaska.

Once the song ended, Phi Phi stood up and tried to catch her breath. Bianca leaned in to whisper to Chad. “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her.” And truly, it was hard to impress Bianca that much.

“Try harder.” Chad replied but with little bite behind it. It was impressive and if Phi Phi knew the rest as well as that, she’d be ready in no time. But still, she didn’t believe that the girl wanted it that much. “You know, you were off the whole last half.”

Phi Phi sighed. “Oh come on Chad, I’ll practice until I bleed, I’ll do everything to get this chance!”

As Phi Phi continued to beg and plead, Chad lowered her eyes for a moment. “We have other girls, Bianca.” She reminded, trying to ignore how her partner wanted to say yes.

“Well, then say thank you very much and goodbye.” If Chad didn’t want Phi Phi to get the part, she’d find this quite easy.

But Phi Phi had not shut up and was still pleading her case. “I swear I won’t disappoint, Chad. Didn’t anyone ever give you a chance? I want this so badly, I’ve never wanted anything so much in my life.”

Chad took a steadying breath – anything to shut her up. It wasn’t like she hadn’t impressed her. “Alright! Alright, Phi Phi, you got it.”

The former waitress looked so gleeful and took a small bow on stage. She got it, her heart was thumping so loud in her ears that she hadn’t heard the clapping coming from the far end of the bar.

And the person who was clapping? Manila Luzon, who was thrilled to see that someone she actually liked got the part.

“Why the hell are you so happy? She’s your replacement.” Willam reminded, still a bit stung that Chad hadn’t immediately asked him to lead the shows from now on.

Manila shrugged, still smiling. “Better than you.” She replied and went upstairs with Katya, who was laughing under her breath, to start getting ready, leaving Willam in disbelief of his fellow queen’s cattiness.

“Chad thank you, you won’t regret this!” Phi Phi insisted, shooting a glance to the bar where Sharon was beaming at her.

“I’m going to regret this.” Chad sighed dramatically, getting out of her seat to head to her office.

“Oh sure, leave me to give her the costumes and all that bullshit.” Bianca muttered and stood up, getting on the stage to take a look at their new recruit. “So, has Phi Phi been your only drag name?” She questioned, regarding the girl’s size and stature.

“Oh no, I used to go by Phoenix.” Phi Phi explained, feeling a little anxious by the way Bianca was staring at her.

The older queen laughed loudly. “Well, it looks like you rose from the ashes. Meet me upstairs in five” She started to walk backstage to gather all the costumes Phi Phi would need.

Phi Phi then heard a few quiet claps and turned to the front of the stage to see Sharon walking over to her. The girl beamed and placed her hands on her hips just to do something with them. “Well, sorry for the short notice, but, I quit!”

“It’s okay.” Sharon sighed, smiling proudly at the new dancer.

She put out her hand so Sharon couldn’t say anything else just yet. “And with my new pay raise, I’ll be off your couch in no time!” Phi Phi looked so thrilled, she let out a quiet squeal and gave Sharon a small wave before running towards the backstage area to find Bianca.

Sharon sighed quietly. She wished she could ask Phi Phi to hold off on looking for a place and stay with her. But that wasn’t fair; she couldn’t hold her back from bigger and better things, just because her own life was on hold until Alaska came back – if she even wanted to now. She seemed to be having a lot more fun in New York.
