#hss:ca rory

[cadybear420]

How tf does Rory not notice that Cunt and Nasty I mean Clint and Natalie are simps for him???

Look at how they're behaving!!! It's literally so obvious!!!

[queerchoicespb]

brain rotting over finishing hss and hss:ca after not having played choices forever ago and thinking about what they'd all do in the long run (main characters/lis for now bc listing everyone would be a lot)

hss mc - took me forever to figure out what they could possibly do but when i thought of this idea, it just clicked. hss mc is a pr specialist. whether for solo clients or big companies, with the jack of all trades personality, natural charm and charisma, and their penchant for falling into drama, this mc would make a GREAT pr person.

maria flores - while a politician might be the typical choice, i actually think maria would hate politics. she's too straightforward for that shit. for maria, i think she might go into a mix of law and social work or law that leans towards helping communities.

emma hawkins - what with her involvement in the yearbook and love for fanfic, i think emma might lean towards a writing job. maybe it's as a copywriter, a game writer, a novelist, or a magazine journalist, no matter her choice, she'd definitely be able to adapt to whatever her environment is

michael harrison - film bro. but not in the douchey way, i'm p sure. michael would def lean more towards filming docuseries like emerald's show or something attenborough-esque. he's also more the type to learn through experience over school (i don't think he'd spend on a film degree if he doesn't think he has to)

caleb mitchell - a coach. a coach for what? beats me! if he gets a football scholarship and manages to go pro, then he'd probably be like a college coach or something, if he doesn't get a scholarship, then i think he'd still end up becoming a coach but for high school/grade school phys ed. i don't think he'd want to stay pro tho bc the environment is A Lot and caleb is a p chill dude

aiden zhou - pbviously a composer. he'd def get snatched up by an orchestra and sometimes get hired to compose for films and video games. he's also my bet for Most Likely To Be Busy All The Fucking Time

hss:ca mc - television and stage actress. i don't think the hss:ca mc would enjoy the never-ending spotlight of being a movie star. as dramatic as they are, they'd def be the type to want more stability in their life, which is why choosing an acting career that spans months and, oftentimes, years, is exactly their pace of work

rory silva - stage and film actor/actress. while rory might say they're loyal to the stage, they'd also be the type to want more of a platform. not necessarily because they have a huge ego (their ego is slightly above passable size), but because they're the type to have Things to fight for (their mom's cancer, the toxic masculinity their dad grew up with that affected their family, more scholarship/funding opportunities for students, etc.)

skye crandall - businesswoman. skye would be Super Against It at first, but when she learns of all the things she can do as a businesswoman, then she starts leaning into it. she very much aims to be HBIC and maybe she pulls it off at work! but she is still v much the softie skye outside of work

ajay bhandari - stage director. ajay would focus mostly on off-broadway shows but every now and then he'd direct a mind-blowing broadway and sometimes even west end show. he would prefer off-broadway bc of more creative liberty but he would also like it bc it's a better place to find surprising talent

MEET MY MC

Hi y'all,

I have been waiting to create an MC profile for my HSS:CA MC, and finally I got the time to do it today. Hope you like it!

MILA DELGADO

Birthday: 15th April, 2002

Meaning of name: In Spanish, it means the miracle, or in Russian it means gracious and dear one.

Pronouns: She/Her (cis-woman)

Sexuality: Biromantic and Bisexual

Personality:

Dorky, clumsy, funny, and emotional. She is quick to anger and easy to please.

Has a very strong sense of justice, and can snap when the injustice is happening in front of her.

Does not hesitate to get into conflicts when the person being disturbed is a person she loves.

Family:

Biological Family: Alan Park (Father), Faith Park (Mother), Carlos (Twin Brother), Wendy Park (Paternal Aunt)

Adopted Family: Greg Delgado (Adopted Father), Rita Delgado (Adopted Mother).

Backstory (TW: mentions of Death) :

Mila was born in London, 3 1/2 minutes before her twin, Carlos. When she was 1, Faith and Alan meet with an accident where a drunk truck driver crashes into their car, leading to their death on-spot. She and Carlos were put in foster care system after nobody in their family was able to take them in, and they were adopted 2 years later by Greg and Rita Delgado in Cedar Cove.

Ethnicity: She is half-Asian and half-white from her biological family, and her adoptive family are Spanish.

Hobbies:

Other than play acting, improv and method acting, she is a really good singer and can pick up any kind of tune.

Baking is her comfort activity and additionally she loves to help out at the Golden Griddle.

She has a favorite activity with each person she hangs out with: With Carlos its basketball, Skye its drawing, Rory its video games and with Ajay its watching movies.

Love life:

As a kid, she hung out with Rory a lot since he was the only other kid in the neighborhood who was her age. For a while, she crushed on him till 5th grade, but grew out of the crush after middle school and admired him more as a good friend.

Her feelings for Skye grew, and they become official after the winter term of their freshman year. They end up going to different colleges in New York, with Mila majoring in Acting and Skye in Tech.

As per my HC, Mila proposes marriage to Skye at the end of their senior year of college, but they don't get married until two years later.

Other Facts:

Mila starts exploring Gothic fashion and music after she starts hanging out with Skye.

She has a deathly fear of rodents and rodent-like creatures, that sometimes Carlos takes advantage of.

The first play she acted in was 'The Hare and the Tortoise' in kindergarten.

She had a space obsession as a kid, and insisted her parents that her room walls be painted black. Eventually she had to settle with glow in the dark stickers on the ceiling.

‘Even as someone who is more critical of HSS:CA, I could never bring myself to hate Ajay. He's actually my favorite LI, and in all honesty? His character and arc- along with Skye's- are probably the biggest things that carried HSS:CA for me. Don't get me wrong, I hate that he failed to be unbiased and then never apologized for it. But I can let that go for 2 reasons. 1) It's actually just OOC for him to do any of that in the first place, considering he warned MC about Danielle. So less so a problem with the character himself and moreso a problem with lazy writing to me. 2) What sets Ajay apart from the other characters that accused MC and never apologized (Clint, Natalie, and Trevor) is that Ajay is a more fleshed out character who does at least develop throughout the story. So that makes him more sympathetic to me, unlike the aforementioned characters who are nothing more than a pair of Rory Simps and a forgettable tech guy.’

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!

[masked-alien-lesbian]

Hi! On the series mentioned on the sequels poll who did you romance?

hello! Hope you're doing well anon! 🎵

The post anon is mentioning is this one

TRR: Hana Lee always! ❤️ She's my forever obsession! My absolutely end game, my wife till the end of time lol

Desire & Decorum: Annabelle Parsons ❤️ my 2nd favorite playchoices LI, I dare say if D&D had as many books as the TRR, she may even had surpassed Hana 🫣

Blood bound: My first play through I romanced Kamilah but Lily has been my LI ever since then.

It Lives Series: In ILITW, I've romanced Stacey once but choose Ava always, love my witch lol. In ILB, I've flirted with Danni but I've chosen Imogene every time. In fact I think I haven't took every diamond scene with Danni or done an end game with her. I may do that next time I read ILB.

Endless Summer: I've flirted with Quinn but Estela is my end game LI, but I've only read the entire ES series once so maybe I'll choose Quinn if I ever reread the series again.

High School Series: I've romanced Maria once but I always choose Emma in my other play throughs. In HSS:CA, it's the same with Rory and Skye. I've romanced Rory maybe 1 or 2x but Skye is my usual end game.

Blades: My elf mc romanced Imtura, Nia and Valax but I gravitated more towards Imtura and Valax. Then I created an orc mc that romances Nia and Valax. I'm wondering if I want to create a whole other mc just for Valax lol, but that's a lot of mcs for me 😅

In my tags I brought up Baby Bump so ofc I chose Myra Dixon, Clint was sweet but Myra won me over rather quickly.

[tveitertotwrites]

😒🔥💐 For all OTPs you'd like to answer for! :)

Hey! Thanks for the questions. From this ask

😒 - Do they get jealous easily? 

I don't think any of them really get jealous. My MC's/OC's have good communication and trust with their LI's. I do think my pairings do have their jealous moments but they take care of it.

🔥 - Who realized they were interested in who first? 

Brooklyn and Thomas (RCD) - Thomas realized he fell in love with her during filming of The Last Duchess (Book 2), whereas Brooklyn realized she fell in love during press of the same film.

Claire and Ethan (OH) - Ethan realized he fell in love first when him and Claire were with Little Ethan (Book 1), whereas Claire realized she fell in love during Miami (also book 1)

Adelaide and Tobias (OH) - Adelaide realized she fell in love first during one of their first visits to donahue's (would be around the end book 1), whereas Tobias realized fell in love with her on a roomie beach trip, which he wasn't invited but just so happened to be at the right place at the right time (I think it would be in between books 1 and 2)

Charlie and Derek (AME) - Derek realized he fell in love with her during beach volleyball (book 1) and Charlie realized she fell in love during the diamond scene where she sees the footage of the main house from when she was at the jury house (book 1).

Liilia and Michael (HSS) - Lillia realized she fell in love first during homecoming (book 1) and Michael realized he fell in love during the winter carnival (book 2)

Olive and Rory (HSS:CA) - Olive and Rory both realized they fell in love doing the play (book 1).

Aspyn and James/Bartender (ROE) - James realized he fell in love during a conversation with Aspen about love (Book 1, Chapter 17). Aspen realized she fell in love during the Captain's Ball (Book 1, Chapter 18).

Briar and Drake (TRR) - Drake realized he fell in love during the first dance (book 1, chapter 2). Briar realized she fell in love when they were walking with each other to the palace (book 1, chapter 6).

💐 - Is one more protective than the other? 

Brooklyn and Thomas (RCD) - Thomas is more protective over Brooklyn. Mostly because of what happened in book 2 and knowing what else happens in the industry.

Claire and Ethan (OH) - Ethan is more protective over Claire, mostly because of the attack in book 2.

Adelaide and Tobias (OH) - Adelaide is more protective over Tobias.

Charlie and Derek (AME) - Charlie is more protective over Derek.

Lillia and Michael (HSS) - Michael is more protective over Lillia

Olive and Rory (HSS: CA) - Olive is more protective than Rory.

Aspen and James (ROE) - James is more protective than Aspen

Briar and Drake (TRR) - Drake is more protective than Briar

Any other questions?

Twin Heist

I started a Choices One-Shots series on ao3 but I figured I'd start putting it here too because why not. It's just a bunch of different One-Shots of my MC's from my favorite choices books getting into shenanigans with other Choices characters.

Also if anyone comes across this and has any prompts, I'd love some prompts.

Choices Book- High School Story: Class Act

Characters- Lauren Hamilton (MC HSS:CA), Lucas Hamilton (MC's Twin HSS:CA), Lillian 'Lilly' Benson (MC HSS), Lilith 'Lily' Benson (MC's Twin HSS)

Rating- Teen

Chapters- 1/?

Words- 3,396

Chapter Summary- Rewrite of the scene in HSS:CA 3 where they have to get the staff back from the Statton kids except instead of it being MC with Ajay, Rory and Skye, it's my MC's and their twins.

~~~

It was chaos after recieving the texts from the Stattons kids, acting as if they weren't the cause of the missing staff. As a lot of them crowded around Lauren, Erin, Emma and Maria's room, talking over one another, Ajay tried to get everyone to quiet down and take control of the situation, though no one was listening to him. Until a louder voice cut through. "Guys, everybody, please!" Lilith 'Lily' Benson yells out, having moved to stand on one of the beds and everyone turns to look at her. Her curly blonde hair was cut short and styled in a way that fit her, dressed in a long sleeved striped collared shirt and black pants.

"Let's not panic. It's only 10, we have tons of time to get the staff before our performance later" Lily reminds them.

"Thank you, Lily" Ajay nods, motioning to her before addressing the crowd himself. "I will go retrieve the staff, Rory and Lauren you can come with me. Being lead actors might be useful in this situation" Ajay says and Skye goes to volunteer as well but Lillian 'Lilly' Benson pipes up instead, dressed in a hoodie and jeans, her wavy blonde hair resting on her shoulders.

"Hold on a second. This is my staff. I think I should go and get it. Plus, you're talking to the people who helped pull off the Hearst spirit stick heist. We might have more luck" Lilly points out and her twin nods in agreement as well as some of the others who had been there as well.

"I think as the director, I should go and get it and you all focus on getting to Spotlite" Ajay disagrees but the Benson twins shake their heads.

"Trust us, we've got this. You get the others to Spotlite, me and my sis can do it. We'll have the staff for the show" Lily tells him.

Ajay moves to argue again, but some of the others seemed convinced. "Lucas and I can help too! Like a twin heist!" Lauren quickly agrees and the Bensons smile.

"Yes! My daughter must be there to help me with my staff" Lilly agrees.

"I'm not sure I'd be up for this. I'm not good with the whole heist thing-y. I'd probably mess everything up" Lucas disagrees anxiously.

"No way! Come on, Lucas. Just think of yourself as your character. You're mischievious, remember! You're great at it!" Lauren assures him and others start nodding, the four of them looking to Ajay who still seemed on the fence. He gives in though, nodding.

"Fine, you four can go and get the staff. The entire department is depending on you. Please, don't screw this up" Ajay begs.

"That was inspiring" Lilly jokes.

"As for the rest of you, we're heading to Spotlite to start setting up. Come along" Ajay urges. Rory turns to Lauren, squeezing her hand and sending her a smile.

"Good luck, Lauren. You've got this" Lauren smiles, giving her a kiss.

"Thanks" The others start to leave, Erin giving Lucas another pep talk, Emma giving Lilly a cheek kiss and Lily kissing her girlfriend Hazel Porter as well. Soon, it's just the four of them.

"Okay, so, what do we do?" Lucas wonders.

"Hmm...usually it's Maria or Michael that does the planning and we just go along with it" Lily admits and the two freshman gape at them.

"Then why did you volunteer?" Lauren asks in disbelief.

"I hate seeing people panic" Lilly admits and her twin nods in agreement.

"So, we're actually screwed then?" Lucas sighs out.

"No, no, we've got this guys! We've come all this way to perform this awesome show, we're not giving up now. They're counting on us." Lily says before thinking it over. "First, we have to figure out the room they'd be keeping it in"

"Good idea" Lauren agrees.

"I think one of the evil blonde bitches would have it" Lilly shrugs and the others nod in agreement.

"So, we find out their rooms then." Lucas says.

"Let's go down to the front desk and see what we can find out from the hotel staff" Lauren suggests and they take the elevator down to the fancy hotel lobby. They look around, Lily pointing towards the concierge busy doing something on a computer.

"That's who we need to talk to. We have to try and convince him to let us in their rooms or at least give us the room numbers" Lily explains.

"Easier said than done" Lucas scoffs.

"Think positive, Lucas." Lauren nudges him and the others nod in agreement.

"We're all actors here" Lilly adds, putting an accent on 'actors'.

"Exactly, we con our way into convincing him and if it doesn't work, well we'll have two more people here that could just steal the damn things" Lily shrugs. She looks at the group.

"So, I think Lilly and Lauren should do it. They're already like a father-daughter duo and the best out of us. No offense Lucas" Lily quickly adds but Lucas waves her off.

"None taken" he assures her. Lilly looks to Lauren then.

"Shall we, dear?" Lilly offers her hand and Lauren laughs, taking it.

"We shall" They head up to the concierge as Lucas and Lily watch from the distance, keeping out of sight.

"Can I help you?" The man in the uniform asks politely, looking up from his computer to address them.

"Hi, there" Lilly easily puts on a charming smile, surprising Lauren for a moment. She sometimes forgets the fact that Lilly was popular and could convince anyone to do anything she ever wanted. No wonder she was a good actor as well. "My friend and I were wondering if you could help us out with something" Lilly says and Lauren nods, plastering on her own smile.

"You see, we have a personal delivery for our other friends Cory and Kitty. It's our friend-iversary so we wanted to surprise them with a gift inside their rooms" Lauren explains cheerfully and Lilly nods in agreement.

"it would mean a lot to them. We take our friend-iversaries very seriously" Lilly adds and Lauren nods in agreement.

"How sweet! If you leave the items with us, the hotel will gladly deliver it to them" The man assures them. Okay, not what they wanted.

"Uh, no!" Lilly quickly says and the man raises an eyebrow. Lilly lets out a slight laugh. "I mean, like, it would go much better if we could surprise them in person, you know? You can't celebrate your friend-iversary without your friends there" Lauren quickly nods in agreement.

"Yeah, we're both gonna pop out of a giant box like we're the present! But we'll be holding the real gift box with their actual presents inside." Lauren explains.

"Yep, funny right? Presents in a present. In the present. It's an inside joke, really" Lilly waves it off. The man looks the two of them over carefully though they smile innocently back. Lucas turns to whisper to Lily in the distance.

"i don't think it's working. Oh, God, I've never had to steal anything before." He whispers and Lily pats him on the shoulder reassuringly.

"You're acting like they don't have him convinced yet. Look" They look back over to see the man smiling brightly at the two of them.

"Now that's what I call an inside joke! I wish I had friends like the two of you" The man says and the two laugh, continuing to smile at him as he fetches out the room card.

"Here's a keycard to Cory's room so you can get in. Don't forget to return it after the deed is done" He reminds them.

"No problem, sir. We are eternally grateful" Lilly starts ushering Lauren away.

"For real. Thanks for making this possible" Lauren agrees, slightly surprised.

They walk away to where Lucas and Lily were waiting, both smiling as Lauren waves the card, smiling. "You did it! I had faith in you the whole time!" Lucas cheers.

"Uh-huh. Sure you did" Lily scoffs, sending him a knowing look before turning to the others. "So, who's room is that for?" Lily wonders.

"Cory. Let's just hope he's the one with the staff" Lauren says and they head towards the elevators, Lauren still boasting about conning the concierge into giving them the card.

"You take after your father" Lilly grins as they step off the elevators and onto the floor.

"Wait, is that-" Lucas points at the end of the hallway where two familiar blonde kids were stood talking.

"You think the Berry kids really bought that we're at Spotlite? None of the other performances were even worth watching last year. It was such a snooze." Cory's voice rings out down the hall as they stand in front of a door.

"Why wouldn't they believe it? They're a bunch of starry-eyed first-timers" Kitty drawls, amused as the four watch, hidden in an alcove.

"Great, they're standing right in front of his room...what do we do now?" Lauren mutters.

"I say, it's four against two. We go and kick some ass" Lily cracks her knuckles for effect but Lilly slaps her hands, giving her a look of disbelief.

"We're not starting a fight with the Statton kids." Lilly scolds.

"But we'd win" Lily whines.

"Not with me here. My punches probably feel like you're getting hit with teddy bears" Lauren scoffs.

"No, you throw a decent punch" Lucas nods, thinking it over.

"No, stop toying with the idea, Lucas. You've got the freshman thinking it too now" Lilly shakes her head at her twin.

"No, you're right. If we were to start a fight with any rival school, I'd want it to be Hearst" Lily shrugs, her expression turning dark and Lilly shrugs.

"I wouldn't argue with that one" She agrees.

"Guys, look at this" Lucas had emerged from a room behind them, excitedly holding up a room service outfit. "Lauren, this would definitely fit you. You could wear this and pretend you're there to clean their room" Lucas points out.

"Guess you've stolen something now, huh, Lucas?" Lily laughs, nudging him. His eyes widen.

"I did, didn't I?" He gasps like he can't believe it.

"Here, put these on too." Lilly hands her a pair of sunglasses. "They're my lucky pair." Lilly adds.

"Hey, wait a second, aren't those mine?" Lily brings up, looking the pair of sunglasses over suspiciously.

"Erm...no?..." Lily narrows her eyes at her sister. "Anyways" Lilly laughs nervously. "Hurry up and put the disguise on, Lauren. We're running out of time" She urges Lauren into the staff room and Lauren changes into the outfit. She comes back out to show it off to the other three who nod approvingly.

"Nice going, Lucas. Great plan" Lily pats him on the shoulder and he nods proudly.

"You're room service, Lauren. You have to confidently walk up to them as if you're just there to do your job" Lilly explains and Lauren takes a deep breath, nodding.

"Got it" She strides up to the two Statton kids and they don't even spare her a glance as they continue to chat. "Excuse me. Room service" Lauren puts on an accent, just in case they recognizes her.

"Ugh" Cory looks her up and down in distaste, turning back to Kitty. "It's the cleaning girl. I hate talking to service people..." Cory mutters as if Lauren wasn't standing right there.

"Let's scram. Wanna go rehearse some more downstairs?" Kitty asks, also looking disgusted to be in the vicinity of a cleaning lady. They quickly leave Lauren behind and soon their voices fade to nothing. Lauren lets out a breath of relief then.

"The coast is clear" The other three meet her at the room, smiling.

"You make your father so proud" Lilly wipes a fake pretend tear from under her eye and Lauren laughs.

"What do they have against cleaning people anyways?" Lucas wonders curious and confused.

"Let's just get the staff and get out of here" Lily shrugs. Before they all move into the room though, she stops them. "Wait actually. Someone should keep watch, just in case they come back." She brings up and the others nod in agreement.

"How about we stick in the same pairs since Lauren's in disguise and it's Lilly's staff and Lucas and I keep watch?" Lily suggests and everyone nods in agreement, Lauren and Lilly heading in while Lucas and Lily stay in front of the door, just in case. The room is not what they were expecting however as they spot what looked to be a giant tree in there.

"What on earth? There's a tree in here!" Lauren exclaims in disbelief.

"There's something you don't see everyday" Lilly scoffs, shaking her head. "Come on, we don't have a lot of time" They both begin to search the room for the staff.

"If I were my staff, where would I be, besides in my hand?" Lilly mutters, looking around. She holds her hand out, as if the staff would magically fly into her hands and stands there for a moment, Lauren turning to raise an eyebrow at her as nothing happens. "Dammit, thought that would work. Guess I'm not Thor." She tsks.

"Maybe it's in the tree?" Lauren brings up after another moment. "Like hidden among the branches! The staff is wooden, so it'd totally blend in" Lauren points out and Lilly grins.

"I knew bringing you was the best choice" They both pause at the trunk, looking up before looking at one another. "So, who's climbing then?" Lilly wonders. Lauren holds her hands up, stepping away and shaking her head.

"I'd probably break like every bone trying to climb that thing. I'm too clumsy for that" Lauren says and Lilly lets out a shudder.

"Yeah, well, I recently have broken a bone and I'd like to not do it again. Plus, Emma would kill me" Lilly points out and Lauren gives her a guilty look which she waves off.

"Maybe whacking the tree will knock some things loose?" Lauren suggests. She climbs up onto the sofa and starts whacking it with a pillow, the only thing giving way being the leaves.

"Sorry, tree" Lauren apologizes. Lilly moves to start shaking the tree trunk and the branches begin to sway back and forth.

"I command you to give me my staff" Lilly bellows. Meanwhile in the hallway, Lily peaks around the hallway the Statton kids disappeared down as Lucas keeps his eye down the hall they walked down.

"My turn!" Lucas says, humming as he thinks. "I spy with my little eye something....hmmm...blue" He says.

Lily glances around, thinking it over. "My shirt" She points to one of the navy blue stripes but he shakes his head. "Hmmm...your shirt?" She points at his blue flannel and he smiles evilly, shaking his head again.

"Nope." Lily looks around again before pointing to his shoes.

"That stripe on your shoe?" She wonders.

"Dangit!" He groans and Lily does a little dance.

"Right, my turn. I spy with my little eye something..." She casually glances down the hall she was supposed to be watching, her eyes widening at the sight of four familiar students heading their way. "Statton" She squeaks out.

"Is that a color?" Lucas asks confused.

"No, Statton" She hisses, dragging him into the room they had left cracked open to find Lilly holding up her staff triumphantly in her hand.

"I knew you would come back to me" She even gives the staff a kiss, Lauren watching in amusement.

"They're back!" Lucas panics and they all pause with wide eyes as the door opens again and Cory comes waltzing in.

"Forgot my jacket. Don't mind me, cleaning girl" Cory grabs his jacket, barely glancing at them as they all share wide eyed looks.

"Uh, make it quick! We're just about to begin the...deep clean vacuum!" Lauren throws on her fake voice again as Cory's headed out the door but Kitty peaks her head in, noticing the others.

"Wait a minute" Cory pauses, looking back as well after noticing her expression. "What's with all these other people?" Kitty points out.

"Hey!" Cory seems to realize. "You're the Berry kids!"

"Us? Berry? Pfft! Yeah, right, never heard of them" Lily scoffs.

Kitty points towards Lilly's hoodie with Berry written across the front. "That's literally a Berry high sweatshirt" Everyone turns to give Lilly a look who holds her hands up in surrender.

"You didn't give me time to change" She defends herself. Cory notices the staff Lilly's holding.

"They took the prop!" He yells out.

"More like we took it back!" Lucas yells out. He runs at them full speed then and they both move out of the way. "Come on, run for it!" He calls and the others don't waste any time, following after him. They all barrel into the hallway and past Marvin and Yves who were waiting outside the door.

"What on earth?" Marvin says in disbelief.

"OUTTA OUR WAY!" Lauren screams as they push past the two of them and down the hall they first came down.

"Ha ha! Three out of the four of us play football, fuckers! Try and catch us now!" Lily calls back to them as they hightail it down the hall, Lauren trailing at the back as she was not one of the football players.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE, YOU INCOMPETENT TWERPS! GET THEM!" Kitty screeches as they continue to run.

"On it!" Yves agrees and the chase begins.

"The stairs, take the stairs" Lily calls, ushering Lauren in front of her, glancing back at the group chasing them as Lucas continues to lead the charge. He opens the doors for the stairs and heads in, Lilly right behind him as well as Lauren and Lily and she quickly moves to shut the door behind her and follow after the others. The Statton kids open it a second later, the football players rushing down the stairs at record pace, Lily throwing Lauren over her shoulders so she could keep up with them.

"Woah!" Lauren gets a view of behind them, though watching the stairs go by at a quick pace like this was starting to make her feel sick. She could catch glimpses of the angry Statton kids trying to keep up with them, though it was obvious these kids only did theater. They make it into the lobby and push past people, Lauren back down to the ground, albeit a little nauseous. They're already halfway across when the others catch up wiith them.

"PICKPOCKETS! STOP THEM!" Marvin calls out. A suitcase rolls out in front of Lilly and she barely hops over it in time, nearly face planting, though she recovers, a tight grip on her staff.

"Theives? I won't let them get away!" A random man calls out and it seems the lobby was now after them too.

"The fountain!" Lilly yells and Lucas runs towards the center fountain, dodging a lady in a wheelchair. A man runs right at Lauren but she manages to use her training from the self-defense classes they took for the show to send him into the fountain. They make it out of the hotel as no one could keep up with them and continue to run down the streets of London. Once they're sure they've made it, they all stop to catch their breaths, looking at one another.

"That...was...awesome!" Lucas cheers, jumping excitedly. "Yes!" he whoops.

"It was like the spirit stick all over again" Lilly grins.

"Did you see that random guy I flipped into the fountain? I feel kind of bad" Lauren admits.

"He should've known better than to get involved" Lily shrugs, patting her back.

"And we got my staff back!" Lilly holds it up triumphantly again, the others cheering.

"That was actually a lot of fun. We make a good team" Lauren smiles and the others nod in agreement.

"Next time we need to plan a heist, I know who I'm bringing" Lily agrees and they all fist bump.

"Come on, let's get to Spotlite and tell the others." Lauren urges and the others nod.
