I’ll be home for Christmas

Soap x f! reader

I don’t know what happened, but the original one either got accidentally deleted or I just never posted it! This is the first of the series. I’ll be home for Christmas. Enjoy

Warnings: none

John winced when he got the call from headquarters saying he would need to leave for duty on Tuesday, witch meant be on a flight to the shitty hell-hole of a place tomorrow. He hated being called at last moment. Being left out of the loop irked him to no end.

Soap looked over at the clock and noticed that his girlfriend would be home soon. She worked at a local pub by night in Sterling and her shift was nearing the end. Just as he was thinking about her his phone buzzed with a text. It was from (y/n). ‘Hey Johnny, I’ll be home in a bit on my way.’

John texted back ‘ok love. See you here.:)’ He noticed she called him Johnny not hunny or babe. She must be tired. He thought to himself as he got up to finish dinner. He hated having to leave her behind in such short notice.

The Cock-a-Leekie soup was almost finished when John heard keys outside jingle and the lock opening. (Y/n) came in on this chilly night.

“Brrrr. It’s cold out there” she shivered and hung her jacket on the peg by the door and was in the process of taking her wet shoes and socks off, when two arms snaked around her waist. “Aye mo leannan (yes my sweetheart). You’re cold aren’t ya?” His thick Scottish accent rolled off his tongue as he kissed her neck. A giggle could be heard from her lips “Already trying to flirt with me this late? “Lass if I was try’n to flirt with ya, I would’ve put more effort into it.” He gave a little nibble to her earlobe. (Y/n) smiled as she slipped on a pair of house slippers. “Something smells amazing. Are you making what I think your making?”

“Aye ghràdh (love).” Soap smiled as he dished out two plates.

“You really didn’t have to do that. It’s so late…” It was true. It was around 1:45am, but John didn’t matter. He knew he did not have much time with his Beloved. “No I don’t mind,” he smiled then his face dropped, “Also I got to tell you something.”

A frown formed on (y/n)’s face. “Let’s talk about it after dinner, ok?” John gave a quick nod and touched her cheek gently “tha gaol agam ort (I love you).”

A light blush formed over (y/n)’s face “I love you too”

Dinner was amazing and the two of them talked about (y/n)’s job and who was at the pub that night. John gave a slight snort when she was telling him about the idiot who kept flirting with her. “Did ye tell ‘em yur with meh?”

“Of course I did but you know how men are, he saw that as a challenge”

“Next time I’ll show him a real challenge” he huffed.

“No need. I took care of it quick.” She chuckled. “I got Bruce to start waiting on him.” The man Bruce, she was referring too, was a big hulking of a man and could scare anyone into submission if it came to one of his colleagues getting uneasy with a drunken idiot.

“Well at least he has been delt with.” John nodded. He was very happy that she could stand up in a fight. That’s one of the many things he loved about her.

“So…. What’s this bad news you have to dump on me?” (Y/n) asked already figuring it out but waiting for the confirmation.

“Lass I got called in for a mission… I know it’s bad timing.” So close to Christmas. It was both there favorite time of the year. It was going to be tough on them.

“Yeah really bad timing.” She bit her bottom lip trying not to let her tears fall. “I had made plans and everything too…oh well”

“Hey now mo aingeal milis (my sweet angel). Yer can still do those things, and the plan is to be home for Christmas… if all goes to plan tha’ is.” A simple touch to the shoulder almost sent (y/n) crying. She was a tough-ie but things that were very important to her still got to her. “I know…I just worry if you will be ok…if you will make it…”

“Aye Bonnie I promise ye I will com back home in one piece yeah?”

“Alive?” She asked

“Alive and well.” He chuckled. “Now go get ready fer bed. I’ll clean up and be there in a bit.”

She shook her head “I want to help…”

“Your tired. You’ve been working all night. Let me do this fer ya.”

“Fine.” (Y/n) trudged upstairs to their room and washroom were she took off her makeup and jewelry. She had worn the necklace and matching earrings that John had given her last year as an anniversary gift on Valentine’s Day.

She looked at herself in the mirror, tears still threatening to spill, a long night and now this? Pull yourself together girl. (Y/n) told herself but to no avail. When she made it to the bedroom to get changed for the evening, the thought of her boyfriend leaving her made the waterworks start as she burst out crying into her pillow, sobbing away. Perfect timing for Soap to walk in, catching sight of his overtired, crying girlfriend.

“Hey hey hey! What’s this Love?” Gently kneeling beside her side of the bed and placing a hand on her back.

“I’m sorry I must be tired, but the thought of you leaving for the holidays…” (Y/n)’s voice broke again as she tried to regain her composure.

“No don’t apologize, ghràdh (love). I wished I could have told you sooner.” He kissed her head gently. “I know this will be h’rd on both of us but we can work this out, yeah?” John got up and walked to his dresser to get on a pair of pants. He liked to sleep shirtless.

As soon as Soap opened the covers to get in, his girlfriend clung onto him. “Aye lass I got ye.” He chuckled and stroked her head. “I’ll wake ye up when I leave ok?” No reply just a nod into his chest. Softly, as if she would shatter in his arms, he hummed an old song and gently rubbed her back. This made (Y/n) break down and cry again. “I got ye let it out. Shhhhhh.” John murmured, now his own eyes betraying him as they stung with salty water threatening to hit his pillow and his girlfriend. He held (y/n) tightly, letting her cry to sleep, knowing that would be the best for her. Soon he was following in that pattern.

It was 6:30am when John began walking to the door with his sleepy girlfriend in tow, holding his arm. Soap opened the door, with his duffel bags in hand gave his (y/n) a kiss. “I’ll be back in a few weeks, you’ll see”

(y/n) nodded sadly. “Be safe out here ok? Kick there asses.”

He gave a small smile “I always do.”

John turned around to head for his car don’t turn back, dont fucking turn back. But he did and saw (y/n) standing there “fuck” he muttered a small choke. He dropped his bags and swiftly dashed back to her.

“Oh lass I am going to miss ye so so so much!” He was shaking. Trying to hold it in, trying to be the big tough Sargent he needed to be.

“It’s ok. You told me last night we got this, it’s not like we haven’t been in this same boat before. If we did it 100 times before we can do it one more time. I’ll be waiting here for you when you get back ok?” A smile laced with sadness stretched over (y/n)’s face.

He pulled himself up and nodded. She was right. With a final lasting kiss he went back to grab his bags once more and this time made it to the car without look back. Setting his stuff in the back seat, he then got into the front, starting the engine, and slowly driving out from the driveway. He could see her silhouette in the dim light coming from the living room as she stood outside watching him. Soap drove down the road towards the airport with one thought on his mind.

When I get back love, I’m going to ask you a question… I hope you say yes.

Hey Aye, I've got a bit of a (light hearted not serious) thinker for ya.

A while ago, I did a DNA test to learn about my medical history because I'm adopted. I learned that my dad was fully Scottish, and I'm a bit of a culinary lover, so it got me really interested in Scottish foods.

One problem: I'm Jewish and I keep Kosher. So, nothing with blood in it (black pudding, or most organs, so no Haggis), no pork, no shellfish, no bottom feeders, no fish that don't have both fins and scales (so salmon and cod are good, but catfish is a no-go), and nothing with meat and dairy combined in the dish (if it's something like mashed potatoes where the dairy can be easily substituted, that's totally fine).

So far I've had a few snacks here and there that can be bought easily off Amazon (irn bru, walkers) so I'm also interested in similar snacks, but I'd also love more dishes I can cook at home. Any suggestions?

Oh nice, that’s a good challenge! And digging through recipes has taught me some Kosher laws!

Cullen Skink - An amazing Scottish fish soup that’s traditionally made with Haddock (fins and scales! I checked!) - from what I read fish is excluded from the ‘mixing meat and dairy’ so I think you should be good. Please double check though as I’ll no doubt have missed something obvious.

Haggis (Veggie or Vegan) - It’s become pretty standard in Scottish restaurants to have a veggie/vegan haggis available - and it’s also available in supermarkets. It’ll give you the haggis experience without the whole sheep’s stomach packed with offal thing that a traditional haggis has going for it. There’s definitely recipes online for it and if you want to take it to the next level it absolutely slaps with a nice whisky sauce!

Cranachan - A dessert so amazing that even after you’ve loaded up with haggis, neeps and tatties - you’ll always have room for it. Don’t think it violates any Kosher rules - it’s oats, whisky, cream and raspberries.

Cock-a-leekie - We like our soups and we like joking about the names of our soups. It’s chicken and leek soup. It’s nice. Everyone loves soup. Some recipes will suggest adding bacon for some reason but I’ve never seen it before.

Tablet - Want something that’ll ruin your teeth and have you bouncing off walls? Try making your own tablet. I couldn’t find anything that said whether it isn’t Kosher or not. You need butter, milk, condensed milk and a metric fuckload of sugar.

Those would be my top 5 - there’s absolutely no harm in looking up Scottish food and then substituting whatever you’re not able to have. It takes a lot to fuck up a Scottish dish because the foundations of them are so common (and tasty!)

Hope that helps - and feel free to flag anything I got super wrong.

26 for Sia and Sam!!!

Making Dinner - Intimacy Prompt

For Siobhan Kelly (OC) and Sam Drake - Uncharted

"Cock-a-whaty?" He stared at her with a lopsided grin, his eyebrow raised as far as it could go. He rested against the kitchen counter, shoulders hunched to meet her eye level.

She tied the apron around her back and sighed heavily. "Cock-a-leekie." Looking over her shoulder she could see how absolutely pleased he was with his own joke. "It's a bloody soup, ya dirty feck."

"Now Sia, you can hardly blame a man when a word like that comes spilling out of a pretty woman's mouth." His cheeky grin only spreading wider on his lips.

"What, leek?" She smirked up at him, blue-green eyes dancing with mischief.

"Ha. So what exactly is in this soup?" He stood up tall, his back aching from forcing himself to stay so small.

"Exactly what it sounds like." She mumbled into the fridge as she grabbed the ingredients.

His eyes went wide, hands naturally drifting to cover himself. He was sure it couldn't really be what she meant, but she also ate blood sausage for breakfast and called it black pudding.

She turned to find him looking defensive. "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." She pinched at the bridge of her nose. "Cock as in cockerel, Samuel. It's feckin' chicken." She shook the bag of chicken thighs at him.

"Praise the lord." His hands returned to resting on the counter. "And leeks then, I assume."

"MENSA here we come." She slid him the cutting board and a knife. "You can handle the veg."

"Yes, boss." He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. Turning to wash his hands in the kitchen sink.

She grabbed the dutch oven and placed it on top of the stove with a heavy thud, clicking on the gas and lighting the flame. Frying the chicken thighs, the sounds of their sizzling flesh filled the kitchen.

"You know what I think always sets the mood?"

"What, love?" She asked, expecting some sort of quip from the fast talking Bostonian.

"Music." He headed into the living room and turned on the stereo. "Got any requests, chef?"

She didn't answer, the sound of the cooking chicken drowned him out.

"Guess it's up to me," he said to himself. Popping open a cd case he slid it into the stereo's cd drive. His head bobbing to the Cult as the opening chords of 'She Sells Sanctuary' began.

"Are ya helping me in here or not?" She called from the kitchen.

"Coming."

She gave him a quick glance as he came back into the kitchen, tucking her hair back behind her ear.

He stood beside her and chopped the leeks in bunches of thick rounds, though his eyes were barely focused on his work. Instead, he couldn't help but notice the soft sway of her hips and the little shuffle of her feet as she flipped the chicken in the pot, dancing along to the music while stuck at the stove.

One year, twelve whole months, to finally get them here. She'd been threatening to cook for him for months, tired of seeing him eat nothing but pub food. "You might not like it, I know most people like to make fun of British and Irish food. All meat and potatoes, no flavour…all that shite. But you can't survive on ale and sausages forever. How long since you've had a vegetable?" She'd looked up at him through her glasses, reflecting the light back at him. She always seemed to care about his well-being, more than anyone else. She tended to his wounds when he came stumbling back from an assignment and was the first to offer him a Tylenol when he was dealing with a hangover.

She was more than he deserved.

"What're you lookin' at?" She asked, giving him the side-eye.

He'd been staring at her a little too long. Wouldn't be the first time she'd caught him doing that and she was always happy to call him out on it.

"You."

"Why?"

Her hair had fallen into loose waves, slipping free of the bobby pins she used to tuck them back. Her glasses pushed up onto her forehead. He had memorised every freckle that was scattered across her skin.

"Why not?"

"Stupid eegit." A flush rose up her cheeks, not only from the heat of the pot she was stirring.

She grabbed the chopping board and dropped the cut leek tops into the pot, along with bacon, carrots and celery. Mixing it to brown them.

He leaned over her shoulder looking down into the pot. "God, that smells good."

She pressed her head back against his chest. "Bacon'll do that."

"Smells almost as good as you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed kisses to her cheek.

His stubble rubbed at her skin as he nuzzled in against her neck.

"Don't make me beat you off me with me wooden spoon," she chuckled.

"Message received, loud and clear." He reached into the pot and grabbed a slice of carrot popping it into his mouth. Licking his fingers with a smirk.

"You are so much trouble, Samuel Drake." She smacked the back of his hand with her spoon playfully.

"Guess the nuns should've been more strict with me."

"I'll be feckin' strict with ya." Plunking the spoon back in the pot, she grabbed him by the tee shirt and lifted up on to her very tip toes to kiss his chin.

He looked over the top of her head at the steam rising from the unwatched pot. "Be careful you don't burn your stock, Sia."

Looking up at him through her lashes, she grabbed the bottle of white wine on the counter pulling the cork out with her teeth and poured the liquor over top of the vegetables without taking her eyes off of him. "I've done this before, I'll have ya remember."

With a wink she turned back to the stove and started to scrape at the browned bottom of the pan. Adding the chicken back into the pot, stirring quickly and then pouring water on top. She placed the lid on top and lowered the heat. "And now we wait."

"How much time have we got?"

"Forty minutes."

"More than enough time for me to make all this worth your while."

She pressed her hand to her hip as she rested against the counter. "What kinda girl do you take me for?"

"One who's far too good for me." He smirked, the crow's feet that hugged his warm brown eyes crinkled.

She pressed her finger to his chest. "And don't ya forget it."

Artist: Trooper Tikey

Album: Call of Duty EP

Rating: 3.5/5

When you first hear the name Trooper Tikey, it makes your mind wander so many places, trying to guess the origin of this unique stage name. What kind of name is Tikey? Is he really a Trooper? Is he a cop or a soldier? (Just kidding) But it’s way deeper than that.

Tyquan “Tikey” Robinson’s debut project Call of Duty goes in-depth on this young artist’s life growing up in Queens, NY. The 9 track EP is also packaged with three bonus singles, with two being produced by the rapper himself.

Tikey sets the tone for the EP from the very beginning with his bubbling single Got The Bag. The song had a very sinister, but uppity sound produced by up and coming YouTube producer JACKPOT. Tikey even gives the producer a worthy beat tag, starting off the song with his chilling intro “You know, lately I been feeling lucky like I hit the jackpot and sh-t”. He indeed hit the jackpot with this potential hit.

The EP is followed up by Tikey’s second cut Flex which has also been buzzing, thanks to its supported music video, directed by Atlanta videographer Shot x East and the production of popular YouTube producer Kid Ocean. It was a smart move for Tikey to start off the project with his two most familiar songs.

youtube

From there, the project takes a turn, introducing us to some new artists and sounds. Gettin Money is a banger about stunting on undercover haters, with a catchy verse from future sensation Rey Juug and a standout verse from Tikey’s younger brother Leeky Bans. Next is the sinister club banger Take A Chance, featuring guest verses from artists siddyLONDON & Playboi Cerchio. The track alludes Waka Flocka Flame’s smash hit No Hands and Kid Ocean’s second beat appearance on the EP.

Trooper Tikey then decides to show off his diversity halfway through the project with Pegasus rapping about his intimate encounter with a significant other, over a dark experimental eerie beat. After is On My Mind, with Tikey continuing to show his poignant side, rapping about shutting down a past love interest who wants to rekindle old feelings, and even though he hasn’t had time to reach out or return the karma, he can’t help but think about her often.

At this point on the EP, we are introduced to another artists Willmatic, who has guest vocals on the next track Leave Me Alone. Tikey sings a melody about women who needs to back off while he is smoking and drinking, trying to “get in his zone”. Willmatic then returns for the next single All I Think About, but this time he is spitting some hardcore bars, with lines like “She sent me a picture of that wet p-ssy, had to put that phone up in rice”. The cut has a dark dreary vibe, as both artists spit what’s on their mind at the moment.

Last of the standard version of the EP, is the street anthem Blow My Racks where Tikey raps about how success comes with hate, seemingly mimicking the signature flow of fellow Far Rockaway artist, Chinx. He makes it clear how he wants to his legacy to last, by putting his hometown of Far Rockaway in the spotlight, making his mother proud and splurging his earnings before he’s gone. And one more simple request, make sure his suit is “All Black”. The cut also includes standout verses from Rico Bucks, and Young Millsz, who comes back to shine brightly on the EP’s three bonus’s tracks.

The first bonus track of the EP Green Chevy, starts off with an intro from Tikey’s right hand man KingYungGio, who sets the tone for this dark banger that is bound to get the crowd moshing at shows. The track samples DJ Paul & Juicy J’s 2000 single Love To Make A Stang, with the catchy phrase “I got a green Chevy with a trunk that would hold ya”. Tikey kills his verse with chilling dark lyrics, and after Young Millsz comes on to get the crowd up and jumping again with his hyper verse.

The last two bonus tracks are self-produced singles by Trooper Tikey, that also includes guest verses by Young Millsz. The first single Most Wanted gives off a dark eerie vibe with a guitar sample, with heavy hitting verses from both artists. The track is then followed up by the second singe 25, a higher tempo cut, which is sinister, but guaranteed to get the crowd moving.

Call of Duty is a strong debut from Trooper Tikey. The EP exceeds the quality expected from an independent artist and also shows how versatile Tikey can be with his sound. Tikey is indeed a Trooper and has the potential to be a star in the music industry, as long as he stays consistent and true to his sound. I’m looking forward to hearing a follow up project from this young artist.

Second draft

1 SCENE 1 1 EXT. DEAD GARDEN

A grimy garden and withering plant life litter the scenario.

2 SCENE 2 2

EXT. UNDERGROUND THE SOIL

Four different vegetables ingrained and dormant. An earthquake awakens them in shock. They wake up and plop to the ground in bewilderment.

Focus on the Brussel Sprout. He is a small sprout with green outer body and vine like tentacles as feet.

RUSSELL CROUT (Shouting at the surrounding area)

Hey you... anyone... is anyone else... here...

He goes over to a corn on a cob that has hit the floor headfirst. He helps the cob out of the dirt.

RUSSELL CROUT Hey matey, are you okay? Did you

feel that?

The corn on the cob looks around in confusion. He looks panicked and struggles to get up.

A big broad corn on the cob half in the soil is struggling to get out. He has green leaves still attached to his lower body and his corn is slightly dusty.

STEVE CORNELL WOahh, what happened here...

(holds out a corn leaf,) Steve Cornell.

RUSSELL CROUT (Says his name with assurance)

Russell. Russell Crout.

3 SCENE 3 3

EXT. STANDING BY A LARGE CRAZY LOOKING TREE

Wind is blowing calmly, until the wind starts to pick up again 10 seconds later.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

STEVE CORNELL It cant just be us in this world.

The gust continues to howl as the two characters mull over what to do next.

RUSSELL CROUT I’ll go this way (points south),

you, look over there. (points west).

4 SCENE 4 4 EXT. WEST SIDE OF GARDEN. DECAYED TREES AND DEAD PLANT LIFE Cornetto looks around and under the plants

STEVE CORNELL Anyone out there? Hello!

A rustling noise comes from a few yards away. A pile of broken and crushed leeks lay in front of a ruined rock garden.

STEVE CORNELL

Man... (stares at the bloodbath)

rest in ’peas’ my friends. As he walks away he trips over something.

A slim leek lies on the floor covered in debris. She has large leek leaves attached to her head in a plumed fashion.

LEEKY LOHAN (Shouts)

Ow! You ok?

STEVE CORNELL

LEEKY LOHAN (face of wonder)

What happened?

Camera pans on the surroundings revealing a desolate dead land.

STEVE CORNELL Not too sure myself but I don’t

want to stay here. Not enough sun light and there’s no source of water. We could die out if we dont find a new place to root into.

They walk away 5 SCENE 5

EXT. BIG PILE OF GARBAGE Russell Crout examines the landscape

RUSSELL CROUT (Thinking inside his head)

No hope.

In the distance a slight high pitched scream could be heard. Russell looks around in confusion.

A stem of baby tomatoes are stranded atop a tree.

TOMAY BRO’S (screams for help)

HELP US! MR, OI, MR!

RUSSELL CROUT Stay put, I’ll get you down!

Russell pulls out a nearby overgrown bush and places it in position under the tree.

RUSSELL CROUT Ok, jump down!

The baby tomatoes are scared and are hanging by a thread on a tree branch. The four of them all talk in unison.

TOMAY BRO’S We’re scared, is there any way you

can come up and get us mr?

RUSSELL CROUT Ugh ok stay there.

Russell begins to climb the tree using his tentacle like vines. He reaches the branch and grabs the baby tomatoes by a tentacle.

RUSSELL CROUT Are you guys ok? How did you get up

here?

TOMAY BRO’S We got blown up here by a bad wind

thingy, we were soooo scared, glad you’re here mr. Thank you.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 4.

Russell looks around from the tree and see’s something that catches his eye in the distance.

RUSSELL CROUT We need to go over that way...

6 SCENE 6 6 EXT. THE WOODS

LEEKY LOHAN Why this way? This area scares me.

RUSSELL CROUT I saw something in the distance, it

looks worth the investigating, maybe we can find some answers.

The baby tomatoes are wrapped on top of Steve Cornell reminiscent of a dad piggybacking his children.

STEVE CORNELL Seems like we all lost our loved

ones in whatever occurred back there. How ya holdin up?

TOMAY BRO’S We’re good mr steve, just glad to

be out seeing the world!

LEEKY LOHAN You guys might wanna rethink that

statement...

Everyones face is in shock. What lies ahead of them give them chills.

7 SCENE 7 7 EXT. ENTRANCE TO MEATVILLE

They enter what looks like a town. on a sign it says "Welcome to meatville"

Various shots of veg related things used as decorations for other objects give the characters feelings of disbelief and horror.

The town is littered in meat related beings.

RUSSELL CROUT What the...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 5.

As they march deeper into the town, the passers by look at them in disgust and whisper among each other. Pork sirloins whisper to each other, burger patties share looks of amusement and snigger amongst themselves, the veggies are feeling very victimised at this point.

A burger patty in the distance could be heard shouting ’OIL-LESS SCUM! GET OUTTA HERE!’

They continue to walk peacefully but someone in a crowd hits them with a bottle of vegetable oil.

"FUCK THE GREENS!"

RUSSELL CROUT WHO SAID THAT, THE G WORD!

They walk even deeper into meatville. A t-bone steak trips up Leeky Lohan.

LEEKY LOHAN

Hey!

T-BONEY HAHA! You type are not welcome

here. Greeny!

RUSSELL CROUT Leave her alone!

Russell crout charges and flings himself toward the T-bone steak. He hits the T-bone steak but the steak bats him away a side street corner.

The meat crowd all laugh as the rest of the veg run to Russell’s aid. As they help Russell up a group of Swedish Meatballs corner them.

The leader of this gang is the biggest ball of all of them. He has greasy pores and has slight steam clouds coming from his mouth.

MEATBALL LEADER Your kind aint welcome in here.

RUSSELL CROUT We are just passing by, trust me

this is the last place we’d ever want to be. We’ll be on our way.

The baby tomatoes shudder and hide behind Steve Cornell. Leeky steps behind Russell.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

MEATBALL LEADER Not before we give you a proper

Meatville welcome...

The meatballs start circling around the veggies and get ready to attack.

360 avengers style group shot as the veggies back up and get ready to run.

STEVE CORNELL (whispers to the rest of the veg)

Whats our play here?

RUSSELL CROUT Ok, Steve, you and the Tomay

brothers go south where the fountain was, me and Leeky will distract them.

Steve and the Tomay brothers run for safety. Russell and Leeky diverts the meatball gang into a complex street chase.

8 SCENE 8 8 EXT. FOUNTAIN OF MEAT STOCK

Steve and the Tomay brothers are in hiding behind a dumpster. Russell and Leeky finally arrive looking beat and tired.

STEVE CORNELL Are you guys alright? How did you

lose them?

LEEKY LOHAN (In a sneaky voice)

Lets just say I have good battling skills...

RUSSELL CROUT Alright let’s get out of this piece

of shit town...

9 SCENE 9 9

EXT. CAVE ENTRANCE The baby tomatoes notice something about the group.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

TOMAY BRO’S Guys, have you noticed our skin

looks different...

Everyone looks at their skin. It is loose and starting to look discoloured.

LEEKY LOHAN (Screaming in horror)

AHHH! My beautiful skin! Leeky’s once pale mint skin has patches of bruised brown.

RUSSELL CROUT Yeah same here.. We dont have long

left.

A dark cave entrance lies in front of them. They ponder whether to go in or not.

STEVE CORNELL Let’s just keep going.

10 SCENE 10 10

INT. INSIDE CAVE. DARK INSIDE. HEWS OF COLOUR BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS.

They venture further into the cave.

TOMAY BRO’S Woooow, this place is pretty, maybe

we can root in here?

STEVE CORNELL Not in here babies, we need

sunlight to thrive. It may be pretty but its not the home we are looking for.

TOMAY BRO’S Well, when we grow up we want to

live on a nice place like this. Somewhere with a view and with you guys there too.

STEVE CORNELL Don’t fret, we will soon be living

in paradise... Some time later, they hear shuffling from above.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

LEEKY LOHAN What was that?

RUSSELL CROUT Let’s move along swiftly, I’m not

getting good vibes from this place.

The shuffling noise gets louder. The four of them form another avengers style circle to cover all points of view.

*SKYYYAAAAAAAHHHHRGH*

A loud screech echoes in the cave. A giant fruit bat reminiscent of a watermelon with its wings looking like watermelon slices appears out of nowhere. It targets the group.

RUSSELL CROUT (Shouts out to the group)

RUN!

The bat give chase. It closes in on the baby tomatoes. Steve grabs them and puts them on his shoulders/head as they were struggling to run by themselves.

STEVE CORNELL (Shouts at the Tomay Brothers)

Hop on!

TOMAY BRO’S (Out of breath, pants heavily)

Help us Steve!

The group keeps on running through obstacles in their way such as rocks, boulders, puddles on the floor and the darkness of the cave.

The fruit bat closes in on the baby tomatoes and manages to tear two of them off the stem!

The group stops and looks back in disbelief as the fruit bat munches on the two baby tomatoes in the air.

A rage builds up within the Steve and he sends out a war cry so loud it shakes the cave. He spins in the air and pelts the fruit bat with bullet speed corn kernels.

*SKYAHHhHH* The bat lets go of the remains of the two baby tomatoes.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

RUSSELL CROUT LEEKY! DO. THE. THING.

Leeky with tears in her eyes screams and positions herself.

LEEKY LOHAN (screams)

ARRRGHHHH!

Russell bounces and launches himself in the air as Leeky uses herself as a bat and shoots him at the fruitbat like a baseball. The impact makes the fruit bat explode into smithereens.

They run over to the remnants of the two baby tomatoes.

TOMAY BRO’S (holding back tears)

brothers... we will miss you... The gang walk on in a sombre mood.

11 SCENE 11 11 EXT. OUTSIDE THE CAVE

After that fight the group look even more rotten than before. They narrowly escaped with their lives.

STEVE CORNELL Nothings worked out so far. All my

kernels are gone. I’m beat. The Tomay Bro’s march on with their heads down.

Leeky runs over and looks at her reflection in a nearby river and see’s her leaves have gotten torn and bruised.

LEEKY LOHAN (Sighs)

Suddenly, Russell realises something.

RUSSELL CROUT (He exclaims and wraps his vines around Leeky’s face)

Guys! GUYS! There’s a running source of water here! We just need to follow it.

LEEKY LOHAN Over there!

Leeky notices a big floating piece of palm leaf.

Excitedly, they board the leaf like a boat and float down the river towards the sun.

12 SCENE 12 12 EXT. ON THE LEAFBOAT

As they journey towards the sunset, they occasionally dip their roots in water. Overtime they fall asleep...

13 SCENE 13 13 EXT. ON THE RIVERBANK AT DUSK

The characters all wake up slowly to a surprise.

RUSSELL CROUT Everyone, wake up, we’re home!

The garden that lies upon them is glowing with life. They step off the leafboat in awe and walk towards their new home full of new possibilities.

THE END

I’ll be home for Christmas

John ‘Soap’ Mactavish x reader

Warnings: sfw, a little angst, maybe make a pt 2, might be ooc, crazy Scottish Gaelic thrown in there, misspellings are dialect.

My first SOAP opera. Lol puns aside I was in a Christmas mood, listening to Christmas music, at night, and feeling a little moody. I wanted to give this “Christmas” themed short a try. Let me know if I should do a Pt 2 on this. ALSO Gaelic in there, I tried to be as accurate as I could don’t kill me plz 😓.

The Cock-a-Leekie soup was almost finished when John heard keys outside jingle and the lock opening. (Y/n) came in on this chilly night.

“Aye ghràdh (love).” Soap smiled as he dished out two plates.

A frown formed on (y/n)’s face. “Let’s talk about it after dinner, ok?” John gave a quick nod and touched her cheek gently “tha gaol agam ort (I love you).”

A light blush formed over (y/n)’s face “I love you too”

“Of course I did but you know how men are, he saw that as a challenge”

“Next time I’ll show him a real challenge” he huffed.

“Well at least he has been delt with.” John nodded. He was very happy that she could stand up in a fight. That’s one of the many things he loved about her.

“So…. What’s this bad news you have to dump on me?” (Y/n) asked already figuring it out but waiting for the confirmation.

“Lass I got called in for a mission… I know it’s bad timing.” So close to Christmas. It was both there favorite time of the year. It was going to be tough on them.

“Yeah really bad timing.” She bit her bottom lip trying not to let her tears fall. “I had made plans and everything too…oh well”

“Aye Bonnie I promise ye I will com back home in one piece yeah?”

“Alive?” She asked

“Alive and well.” He chuckled. “Now go get ready fer bed. I’ll clean up and be there in a bit.”

She shook her head “I want to help…”

“Your tired. You’ve been working all night. Let me do this fer ya.”

“Hey hey hey! What’s this Love?” Gently kneeling beside her side of the bed and placing a hand on her back.

“I’m sorry I must be tired, but the thought of you leaving for the holidays…” (Y/n)’s voice broke again as she tried to regain her composure.

(y/n) nodded sadly. “Be safe out here ok? Kick there asses.”

He gave a small smile “I always do.”

“Oh lass I am going to miss ye so so so much!” He was shaking. Trying to hold it in, trying to be the big tough Sargent he needed to be.

When I get back love, I’m going to ask you a question… I hope you say yes.
