#oh boy oh gosh oh wowie wow

[grupheetie]

hello tumblr... first post.. wowie... i really really love objects... ^_^..

[lordxgrinnyxboy]

rewatching The Grinning Man once again,,2am edition,,just through Beauty and the Beast bc i had to give up and go to bed. @past me you really thought you were gonna. ha. haha. who ever said you’re not a funny clown.

‘ye gods’ is fully a tagphrase of barkilphedro’s. bc saying it at least twice makes it definitely a Thing.

josiana says Bark looks like a...~bug~...and ngl the cut of his coat + those limp antenna things on his hat do actually kinda create that effect. they really did make him look like a skittering creature

accidentally paused at such a moment where his head is angled just so and it’s so weird bc u can’t see the paint on his nose at this angle what

i could play barkilphedro. it would be a ghastly shame but i. no. i could though. no i couldn’t. but

everything bark says just sounds very...Like That.

gonna start doing eye makeup like bark’s

i have so many feelings about the fact that Mr. Maskell’s ensemble(?) character and Ms. Obianyo’s ensemble character stand beside each other for this scene

au where Gwyn’s mom lives and the two of them work as performers

no but fully that Green Cowl but also like. Ms. Obianyo’s entire outfit??? that is a Fantastic Look right There right There.

i like how Bark points at an audience member when he says “whose life is even worse than yours”

okay so the mist that comes up when Bark first says “laughter is the best medicine” plus the way Ms. Obianyo’s ensemble character Looks At Him plus the way Ms. Obianyo’s Ensemble Character and Mr. Maskell’s Ensemble Character stand next to each other plus the fact that this is all Barkilphedro telling the story of events he perpetrated and whatnot just generally the whole look of the bit gives me Feelings like these particular two ensemble characters are almost sort of the ghosts of Gwyn’s mom and kinda sorta who Gwyn could’ve been but also not but also Kinda

i’m just so very emotional and love seeing these two together they look amazing and i love them DX

Josiana’s Introduction/Portrait dress looks fantastic and im mad she doesn’t get to keep it

London!Jojo’s costume is better

genuinely still can’t believe Clarence is Ursus

but it’s kinda ironic tho since it’s by Clarence’s orders that Bark was ever in the situation where ‘hmm guess i havvvve to mutilate this kid’s face lol, that’s too bad” was a thought htat occurred to him so i mean both of Ursus’ characters had a hand in what happened

clarence is like “look at my unhappy children/what a tonic for my pain” ursus is like “...” and dea’s like “look at your unhappy children father i dare u”

the lords on palace hill are a gift

Ms. Brisson is just a truly adorable individual i love her ensemble character

also the material on the sort of dress/aprons the Lords wear? the print kind of looks like a map to me but idk if that’s what it is?

Osric’s “Welcome to the Stokes-Croft Faire” is like. one of the top 10 most iconic moments of the show for me negl. maybe even top 5. It’s got this particular energy i can’t describe but it’s So Good

i feel like in this scene like the top half of Mr. Maskell’s face is painted white(er) which looks fabulous once the bandages + cowl are added like heavens above but also with the whole “ooooh that’s the ghost of pre-barkilphedro!Gwynplaine” angle it’s interesting w/how Jojo’s got that bit of white paint/powder as well and it looks like Dirry-Moir’s whole face is painted at least for this number like Ooooh Is That A Lord Thing idk but it’s a Vibe

i once again think it’s interesting that it’s the actors for Angelica and Jojo who are in the picture frame for “Chained Beasts Fighting” considering how Jojo and Angelica seem to for real not get along so well during the play’s events

i’ve another theory abt mr. hubert

bark’s really like all up on Mr Maskensemblecharacter for the “stab an old man with a needle” bit.

i’ve tried so hard to figure out what the heck that could mean but all i can find is “they’re probably referring to murdering ppl with hat pins” u-u

yo the artwork on the walls behind them Wowie

gosh i love Osric

the little dance thing they do after “I’ve got the misery” is something i yearn for like. pls.

idk if anyone gets more into that last Laughter is the Best Medicine choreo than mr. Dirry-Moir like. he is positively Aggressive with it

the drum or whatever makes that little repeating like, three-point, one-two-three over and over toward the peak of this song is like. i don’t know what i was about to say but I Like This Part Of The Song Even Though It Is Very Stressful And Intense

idk man gwyn just looks Really Good when ursus pulls back that curtain like idk if it’s the way he’s standing or the way he’s moving however slightly or what he’s doing with his hands but like. A+ Gwynlit you look fantastic right here

i like how initially he looks just at Ursus but then kind of looks directly into the camera. sort of fancy the notion that in order to get through shows Gwyn’s kind of particular about where he looks and will try to focus on Ursus and Dea as much as possible but otherwise kind of just tries to not really See the audience maybe or something

oh hey that’s Born Broken that’s music boxing hangon lemme go back what plays for

i don’t reckona- give me a minute - i don’t. recognize. there we go. the music box sound that  plays for gwyn

dea is So Pretty

“I shall put my money where my mouth is” dirry-moir that is a most unfortunate turn of phrase

ngl gwyn always looks like he’s having a good time doing up the Drama for his act as Clarence

shadow!gwyn’s hair is next level kinds of floofy magnificence

even his bandages look amazing

“Sonny” :}

no but when Gwyn walks little puppet!Gwyn up the ramp to the ship but Dea’s helping and so they wind up standing Very Close and there’s Height Difference i’m sorry but they are Adorable

i reall like the ocean effect they do

Dea’s cowl look is Exquisite

can’t actually remember for real for real but i’m fairly confident that Mr. Maskell’s “MOTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER MOTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER” was at least 67% of what initially forced me to fall in love with this show so Thank You Mr. Maskell For That

the cowl + bandages just looks so good i don’t know what to say. that’s a Look right there. the eye makeup? the hair? The Bandages and Cowl? I’m sorry who says this is not a handsome boy?

he looks amzing

puppet!gwyn constantly looks like he’s got one eyebrow raised thanks to how the eye area is carved

i want to know how Ursus thought he wasn’t going to wind up with a couple of the most dramatic chidlren on the earth like when did he think there was a chance they wouldn’t both turn out Dramatic

high note hazlit has arrived

i wish that in the Osric Raises Gwyn au there was some way for Osric to meet like Ghost!Hazlit or i don’t even know but. they need. to meet each other.

Osric’s got vibes and i don’t know what they are but they’re so powerful and they move me to intense affection

it’s Ridiculously Tall-looking Gwyn time. he goes to stand up straight and keeps on Extending

he really just keeps his eyes on the puppet at all times tho

“your little hat can find out what it means” i know he said ‘heart’ but he said ‘hat’ gwyn needs a hat send tweet

book gwyn got to have a hat

don’t worry gwynlit osric’s gonna take care of that in the au

dea’s so cute

so when Ursus says “for certain, it would be no man” is that like a heads-up that they changed the wolf’s name bc now it isn’t Homo anymore or

it’s 3am now and im only 20 minutes in help me dea

forearms

the “No” “Yes, yes” when Ursus first gives him the Crimson Lethe kills me every single time bro.

how long is this post do i need to shut up yet

i’ve babbled for longer before i think we’re good

And Ursus Gave The Boy A Name. A Cruel Name. A Name That Means “Wow That Debilitating Wound Carved Into Your Actual Face Must Hurt Pretty Bad Huh Kidlet”

arms

still mad about the fact that Ursus mentions “Melt into mist/no longer exist” and Barkilphedro uses those Exact Words

i always assume they’re talkin about going to Murca but i mean technically anywhere could be the ‘new world’ huh

forearm

see the one thing i

when he says “we’ll come back to the place where once we were lost in the snow” now im thinking about adult!lord!Gwyn revisiting like. the actual place. where it all Happened like. imagine adult!Gwyn going back to the gallows-site and just.

under angelica’s reign it’s probably converted into a memorial instead ofc and is no longer a gallows-site but still

puppet!Dea doesn’t wear shoes

when puppet!Dea first goes “Mojo?” puppet!Gwyn kinda reaches toward her for a sec like he’s Concerned

Dirry-Moir waving at Dea like he’s trying to figure if she really is blind smh

cowl gwyn is such a phenomenal look

GWYN DOES THE FOOT WIGGLE DURING THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST SCENE I JUST NOW NOTICED

HIS FOOT IS ACTUALLY FLAT ON THE GROUND SO INSTEAD OF IT BEING A LITTLE HEEL SHAKE IT’S MORE LIKE A LIL ANKLE TWISTY BUT. !!

puppet!Gwyn fiddles with his shirt/vest a lot

forearm

the lil motion with his head after the Kiss tho rlly does look suspicious like the “twinge (of unspeakable agony)” motion tho

love how Osric just runs along to go with to see the rest of the show like. he’s into it.

voltron season 7:

recaps I made while watching each episode:

(spoilers)

ep 1: oh shit they aren’t bothers? y everyone so cute i missed ya

ep 2: who the fuck has the cow? did they just leave it?

ep 3: no not that ship my poor klance heart... the fight scenes r FIRE AF thou

ep 4: *tears* yall are cute, and ty 4 klance moment, but SHIT DID YA SELL THE COW BACK TO THAT GUY?

ep 5: bye mama

ep 6: oh gosh this is the hard core intense syfy shit im kinky for. hunk you are a goddess

ep 7: GHA GEE living for veronica save the planet yall  

ep 8: THERE YOU FUCKING ARE COW. wow lance’s family hug moment cuts these feels deep he deserves all happiness

ep 9: yes to floatin arm n golden sibling moments right before voltron got SMACKED up- btw blonde elf girl has officially gone missin

ep 10: wowie guys yall unlocked a new level so proud of my pastel paladins. UPDATE: wolf has also disappeared 

ep 11: shiro is like the best dad ever but atlas is bae

ep 12: white meca is slayin in swag, who is she?  but atlas is best girl atlas is THIC wana marry that one. 

they did not just die. theres my matty bby. they are not dead. oh good they alive n safe. blonde elf n wolf were also found alive. omg who is she? and WHERES THAT FUCKING COW? 

season 7 recap:

cons: keith’s too edgy to be the badass leader. they so not doin’ klance n its breakin my heart </3 plz show me why alora would like lance like its understandable but i need that boi to get the real deal hun dont break him. the amount of characters that they’re juggling was really straining in the beginning like y even bring elf blonde? never saw the show as one that would go further into romantic supplots other than crushes n who likes who, its just not it’s style. like it makes sense, but that adam stuff really took a lot of cake man,  unfuckingcool. not nearly enough cow. 

pros: THE FIGHTS N BATTLES LIKe holy shat did the animation get even better? or am i too high? the mass amount of new characters on earth are such realistic cuties n they’re also not just white guys that every military/syfy have as all their background characters like this feels way more human instead of *insert random army that needs to save earth here*. raw character moments even though my heart can’t ship on. lance’s fam and his happiness. a lot of hunk is a queen that no one deserves moments. and that last ep when my bbies the earth pilots try to help voltron we can actually see how fucking big all these robots are and it puts a lot of good perspective on size that i feel is really hard to show on screen and is hardly ever done right. like i even excepted this to be the last season b/c of how epic the ending was? wowie guys im over blown ty fuk give me 8

of cats and dramas

[ Masterlist ] summary: Dark clothes and belongings say nothing about the brightness inside of you, the brightness that Daniel sees.

“I really want to kiss you right now.”

“What?”

“Oh gosh, did I say that out loud?”

[ I combined two requests here because I thought that they would go well together! Thank you to those who requested! Sorry that this is out a bit late loves, I got distracted with friend’s suggesting a movie night. Classes start again tomorrow so I am powering through to get the drafts done for everyone! Also this ended up really long, wowie, I guess I got inspired? <3 -Admin V ] 

[Word Count: 2545 ]

if someone were to look at you, they would straight up say that you were scary

you didn’t really get it honestly

sure you wore darker colors than most people but that is just because you didn’t want any of your brighter color clothes to get stains at work after school

you work at a local cat cafe, by the way

you really just like taking care of cats

you would adopt one of the cats but your dad’s allergic

and you can speak to customers and coworkers well and are polite

yet at school you don’t really talk to many people because honestly?

people are exhausting

and most of them you can’t hold a conversation with because they just don’t find similar interests

like certain t.v shows or cats actually

well you can talk to one person

that being seongwoo but that is only because he’s your co-worker

and it's mostly to find out which shift either of you are covering

most people just talk about boring things and

one of those boring things includes relationships to which you just go

“why can’t we just talk about cats instead”

you know who else likes cats?

student council president and dance team leader kang daniel

peter and rooney are the loves of his life he swears

he is loved by all the student body and is an angel

he is also a really good dancer, thus why he is the leader of the dance team

honestly people are surprised he isn’t taken by anyone

he just says “he’s waiting for the right one” and just blushes at his cheesiness

its honestly adorable

so someone like you

who tends to avoid people, wear dark clothes, scares people

who prefers books to people but is just really, really, really shy

and daniel

who is loved by a lot of people, socializer, and is even the student council president

and is not shy lies

what are the odds right?

you were working your shift at the cafe after school when it started to rain and you thanked the stars you had a spare umbrella

of course when you were washing the window to the cafe you saw someone standing out there under the awning

which didn’t really cover them very well

and you figured

“must have gotten rained in..”

you debated it for a moment but quickly ran to the staff room and grabbed your umbrella

it was a very light pink which honestly wasn’t very you

but it was a gift from a friend from a long time ago and you weren’t about to just stop using it for its color

you stepped out of the cafe and quickly and walked to the stranger

“here, you need it more than me.”

and quickly putting it into their hands (you couldn’t see their face from their hood)

you ran back inside the cafe

but daniel saw you

in fact he was the one you gave the umbrella to

small world, huh?

he was running home from dance practice and it started to rain and he hid under there to try and stay less soaked and maybe wait out the rain

when you came out and handed him your umbrella and

it was pink, which from what he knew of you wasn’t very you

he saw you from time to time around school

noticed you were very pretty yes he did

and he knew you didn’t really talk to anyone and that kind of broke his heart cause

okay he has a crush on you but that is besides his point here

he knows you don’t actually try to be scary, he has known you since elementary

and that you are just really shy but

he hasn’t found the right chance to talk to you yet

and he looked back towards the window and saw you run in to serve customers and

where was that really shy girl he knew?

what he saw was you, in your apron and uniform, smiling at the customers and helping a kid with a kitten

picking up the cats gently and feeding them and showing the kids how to and

wow his heart is beating really fast

and his face feels really hot and he just feels like a pile of mush

soft af

because just seeing how much care you put into this and how happy and smiling and-

you almost caught him staring and he turned really quickly to look like he was fiddling with his phone before he looked down at the umbrella and smiled

he opened it up and stepped out into the rain and started home but

he really wanted to see you again

well of course he has to see you again he has to return your umbrella

so he started his plan

meanwhile you sighed as you just looked outside later to find it was still raining but

you did something nice for a stranger and you smiled softly to yourself and pulled up the hood on your black coat, sprinting home

you got sick for a few days lol

one day when you came back into class after being sick, you noticed that there was a coffee there

and you thought it was someone else’s and almost threw it away

but you saw your name on it and just went “???”

you looked around the classroom but no one else was there and you just shrugged

you sat back down and left it at the corner of your desk and that’s when you noticed other writing on it

“I’d give up one of my nine lives for you ❤️”

and you’d be lying if you didn’t blush a bit but you were also confused

and you thought it was a prank so you were wary

you tasted the drink and you were

surprised?

it was your favorite drink?

now things were getting freaky because you don’t have anyone you really told that to so you are wary of it but

well

you aren’t about to turn down a free drink

so you go on with your day

meanwhile

in a certain president’s room

daniel is freaking out to seongwoo

“dude what if she doesn’t like it”

“daniel i work with y/n, she drinks this all the time”

“yes, well, still! she may think it's poisoned or something oh god”

“boi”

and this pattern continued every day, a different line on the cup every time

“im feline fine now that i have seen you.”

“how you feline? cause you purrfect, i’m not kitten!”

and so on

they were honestly, really bad

like cringeworthy vomit bad

but you found them nice nonetheless

you also noticed something weird

usually people steered clear of you in class and tend to sit away from you but

kang daniel is sitting next to you

now you have seen daniel around a lot since elementary and have noticed him of course

who wouldn’t

he was a really kind guy and you may have had a crush on him before

or now

but that isn’t important everyone has a crush on him

you thought you had no chance

so you just ignored it

until he asked you for a pencil

you looked up and saw him smiling and just nodded quietly and handed him one of yours, which was actually bright orange

actually if someone were to look at your stuff, the only things that were really black was your clothing and bag, the rest of the stuff was rather colorful

he beamed and thanked you and you swore you saw buddha right then and there

you had to turn away quickly to hide your blush

you said “your welcome, oppa” and went on with it

meanwhile daniel was blushing himself because he did it! he talked to you!

and wow your voice was really cute

so days went on like that

you got mysterious coffees from someone and daniel kept sitting next to you, asking you various things

you two actually started to talk more

(which surprised people but it wasn’t unwelcome

there were bets being made

aka started by seongwoo

on how long it would take for you two to start dating)

you two talked about favorite breeds of cats and daniel got into discussions with you about drama endings which,,, surprised you because

kang daniel? soft over fight for my way? unheard of

but he was really into it

because he saw you were watching it while waiting for class one day and asked if he could watch with you because he missed the showing last night

it was the start of a beautiful friendship

you two talked about anything and everything and suddenly that dreary morning period didn’t seem so bad anymore

you kind of felt sad when class ended and you had to stop talking to him

little did you know daniel felt the same way and he was thinking of ways to meet with you outside of class because he really

really wants to just

wow he had to stop right where he was in the middle of his council work to realize

he wanted to hold hands with you, hug, and kiss you and just do nice boyfriend-girlfriend things

“oh my god i’m in love”

“it took you two months to realize that?”

seongwoo is so done

so he takes the initiative

one day when you and seongwoo share the shift he brings up a study group for the morning class you two are in

he said since you get really good grades in the class if you could help with it

he begged and promised that he would cover your shifts for a week if you went to one

and if he covered more shifts that meant you could watch more of your drama or play games so

you shrugged and said sure

come saturday night and you are regretting

you are standing outside of seongwoo’s home in your sweatshirt, jeans, and timbs (all black of course) and hair tied back and

why didn’t you stay home to watch shows

you would have taken the shifts because you really didn’t mind them so much but

you sighed because you keep your word on things

so with that you knocked on the door

before you could knock knock twice

i’m sorry that was a really bad pun

seongwoo opened the door with a wide grin and ushered you in

not at all suspicious

and lo and behold

daniel is sitting there on the couch with his book open

he looks up to see who came in and his eyes go wide

so do yours

seongwoo sits you down and he gets out his own books and it's quiet for a while

until you notice daniel struggling with a translation for english and you scooch next to him to help him

“its translated to “carnival” here, so it is asking “have you been to the carnival”.”

and he beams at you and thanks you and you feel yourself blush but

you two continue to work together

seongwoo quietly tiptoes upstairs as you two continue to work

you two end up getting your homework done and soon you are just talking about things and

daniel is smiling so much at you and you are doing the same and it's honestly so nice

he just thought to himself as he heard you talk about the differences between ae-ra and seolhee that

“i really want to kiss you right now.”

“what?”

“oh gosh did i say that out loud?”

and it's really awkward between you two and daniel just sighs and

“well i had wanted to do this a whole different way, maybe with flowers, but...”

you look at him in confusion and he just blushes a bit before smiling at you

“I really like you, y/n, i’ve liked you since elementary school when you stood up for me in front of the bullies who said dancing was for girls, and even more when you gave me your umbrella that rainy day in front of the cafe, and the more i got to know you the more i fell and i started to try to woo you over slowly… so i asked seongwoo what your favorite drink was and got that every morning and i just wanted to talk to you more but didn’t know how and… wow this is a lot i uh… i’m sorry if i made you feel awkward..”

he giggles a bit and hides his face and you just

this man is a child

a cute child

you smile and look down, causing him to look at you in concern as you reply

“i admit… i didn’t think i would be one of those people who want a relationship since i really only know dramas and games well, but… hanging out with you and talking to you made me feel so nice, it's kind of crazy how much i like talking to you? because i thought that since you were really popular you wouldn’t want to talk to me but i… wow this is… haha how do people do this?”

“right?”

you and daniel giggle like the dorks you are and you just stare at eachother and smile

daniel holds out his hand and you take it quietly and you just lean against each other

“I don’t know how these things work but… i want to make this work with you. will you be my girlfriend?”

you smile up at him and his heart is fluttering

“of course, who else would i argue about the heirs with?”

both of you were blushy messes when seongwoo came back down from his “bathroom break”

he was hiding on the staircases holding back sobs of joy at his friend finally getting with you like a proud parent would

“so uh, i take it things went well?”

he asked all cheekily and then you realized

“you set this up on purpose!”

“so i did, well would you look at the time my parents are coming home soon and you all need to get home to sleep, ta ta lovers!”

and he ushers you two out with your stuff and the two of you are left standing there before both of you giggle

“i admit, i kind of want to hit him for setting us up like this but i should also thank him.”

“why?”

“because without him, i don’t think i would have ever been able to confess to you”

there you go red again, and even redder when daniel takes your hand in his and you two start to walk home

daniel just murmurs into your hair as the sun sets in the distance

“you make me feel so high, i’m so crazy.”

extra

(seongwoo sneezed as he felt like something happened

as if someone just stole something from him but he doesn’t know what

he wrinkled his nose before shrugging and going back to his show)

(when you two came to school the next day, there were posters that had “FINALLY!” on the front and it said that you and daniel got together and you both looked at eachother before sighing.

“seongwoo.” “seongwoo.” )

( “wait a minute”

“hm?”

“you still have my umbrella!”

“oh yeah about that--” )

First Chapter Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Doggone Detectives

The courtroom. It can be somber, humbling place when one was faced with its existence. It was a place where the fate of defendants would be decided, dedicated to uphold the sacred tenets of justice and the search for the truth! …At least, I believe that was what it was meant to do. The courtroom had only started existing again three hours ago, so I am mostly guessing at this point. But they are good guesses, I assure you!

The rest of the monsters certainly wanted justice and truth. That must have been why they were screaming Mettaton’s name. So that he could help move the truth-searching process along!

A spotlight appeared over Mettaton’s charismatic character. “Ladies and gentleman, I’d like to present you all with the city’s number one couple…” he made a gesture as if he were telling a secret, “…right next to me, myself, and I, of course…” Short pause for audience applause. “Detectives Dogamy and Dogaressa!”

Undyne flinched as the crowd went wild...again! Spotlights danced on the stage for a short time before merging together smack dab in the middle, revealing two adorable dog monsters standing together before the witness podium. They wore matching pinstripe suits and couldn’t help but nuzzle each other’s noses at almost every moment. Wowie, what great friends they were!

“peace. peace. i will have peace,” Sans said, bringing the audience back down to quiet town. “yeah, hand me a piece of that pizza, aaron, thanks.” It was covered in ketchup. I wasn’t sure there was even pizza under there. I wasn’t even sure Sans was paying attention to the trial at all, honestly!!

Mettaton leaned languidly, elbows resting on his desk. “State your names and occupation, please.”

The dogs lifted their noses in the air for a moment, giving the room a good sniff before they went back to nuzzling. “I’m Dogamy! (And I’m Dogaressa!)” they said together. Dogamy spoke in a light airy tone, his voice happy and excited. (Dogaressa sounded similar, but rougher, her barks and yips powerful and confident.) “We’re detectives! (The BEST detectives!)”

Well, I certainly doubt that! Maybe second best detectives. Undyne agreed with me.

“We were hired to investigate the murder! (By that nice talking toilet over there!)” The dogi sniffed in Mettaton’s general direction.

The lights flickered out on the pants-less prosecutor, practically paralyzing him. “A-hem! You mean Mettaton!” His voice’s volume levels appeared to be malfunctioning.

“That’s okay! (We don’t have to go anyway.)”

Mettaton gripped the edge of his table a bit too roughly. “Yes, well…” I could hear his gears grinding! “Please tell the people what you found.”

The dogi wagged their tails happily. “There were so many smells at the crime scene! Familiar smells even! (I think we added a few of our own.) We sniffed the dust by the dumpster. (It was definitely that Burgerpants cat!) And we sniffed around some more, and we smelt another cat! (Can’t trust cats.) The other cat smell belonged to that Catty! (I told you, can’t trust cats!) We could smell Burgerpants on her breath even! (Horrible!)”

Mettaton might not have had a face, but I could tell he was pleased with himself. “Of course. Can’t argue with a dog’s sense of smell. What else did you find?”

The dogi were really excited now, their little feet tapping away on the floor, running in place. “There were claw marks on the dumpster! (From a cat! A cat must have done it!) It was clearly Pink magic! (That Catty knows Pink magic!)”

Mettaton was laying atop his desk, sighing scandalously. “Well, well! That is quite the evidence against her, isn’t it?”

“smells like it to me,” Sans added.

“OBJECTION!” I shouted, adrenaline pumping through my bones. Wow, that felt so cool! “DON’T ASSUME OUR CLIENT’S GUILTY JUST YET!”

The smug cyborg certainly could have been smirking. “Oh? And just why not?”

“WELL!” I paused. Oh, boy. This was a lot harder than I thought. Everyone was looking right at me. I couldn’t remember what I was going to say! Was I going to even say anything? “I… UH…”

I heard a noise come from the judge’s seat. Mettaton countered quick enough, however. “That’s what I thought.”

“Hold it, punks.” Undyne’s arms were crossed over her chest, cigarette billowing from her lips. “Just why would Catty kill Burgerpants anyway? What was her motivation?”

Oh! That was great! I’m so glad I have Undyne for help.

The dogi’s noses finally stopped nuzzling, choosing now to really smell over in our direction. “Fishy friend? (Is that you?!)”

“We’ll catch up later,” Undyne went on. “Answer the question.”

Their eyes went wide, as if they had just gotten scolded for getting into a treat jar they weren’t supposed to get into. “T-the cat’s motivation…? (Well, they’re cats! Of course they’ll kill each other! They’re not sophisticated like us dogs!)” they barked, tongues drooling.

“THAT’S AN OFFENSIVE STEROTYPE!” I countered. “FURTHERMORE, THERE’S BEEN NO PROOF OF A MONSTER KILLING ANOTHER MONSTER FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS! REGARDLESS OF SPECIES!” Ooh, I just thought of that on the spot! Undyne’s energy really inspired me. She grinned my way.

Dogamy was on the verge of tears already, but Dogaressa was showing her teeth. “A-am I a bad dog?...(No! Monster or not, cats are the type to kill each other! They’re the bad ones!)”

Nyeh heh heh, this was going well! The witnesses were already having trouble keeping it together.

“Objection, darlings!” Mettaton wagged his finger at us like we were the bad dogs here. “Regardless of their species, I think we can safely say Catty killed my poor sweet Burgerpants for obvious reasons.”

“Oh yeah?!” Undyne growled. “Just try and prove it!” Ah, well, that might have been a bit too antagonistic, though…

The giddy glee-bot giggled. “Simple enough, even an uncultured brute such as yourself could understand.”

Glowing spears materialized in my partner’s hands as she stood tall atop our defense’s desk. “I’ll show you a brute!” she roared, about to lob her weapon.

“UNDYNE, NO!” I scrambled my bony arms as hard as I could, trying to pull her back down. “IF YOU USE VIOLENCE, SANS WILL HOLD US IN CONTEMPT!”

Gripping her weapons hard, Undyne fought the urge to go in spears blazing. “What’s contempt?”

“i’ll start telling contemporary jokes,” Sans piped in.

“PLEASE, NO!”

“what’s the deal with airline food.”

“HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, THAT WAS NEVER EVEN A REAL JOKE!”

“hey, don’t hold my jokes with contempt, bro.”

My head felt like it was going to explode! Luckily, Undyne realized I was suffering and settled down, if not grumbling a little here and there.

“go on, metts.”

The arrogant automaton appeared to really enjoy that outburst. “With pleasure,” he bowed dramatically. “Before I was so rudely interrupted, I was saying that Catty’s motivation for killing Burgerpants was quite simple.” He paused for tension. “The celebrity taste of MTT brand Glamburgers™ of course!”

Undyne punched down onto the desk. “Oh, for crying out loud… Objection! That’s absolutely ridiculous!”

Mettaton wagged a finger. “Oh, but is it, darling?” A small compartment opened on his body, revealing a pretty piece of paper. With a quick motion, he taped a tiny pair of spectacles to his chassis. “Our report here says Cannibal Catty was quite the dumpster diver! It seems she lived directly off the streets even! Finding a reliable source of food that way must be difficult.”

I really didn’t like where this was going.

“In her eyes,” Mettaton went on, the lights around the room darkening for effect. “She must have been absolutely starving. What else could drive a monster to kill if not for their own survivability? In her world, it was kill or be killed.”

Oh gosh, that was surprisingly reasonable. Looking over, I could tell Undyne was sharing my pain at that moment. “HOW DO WE COUNTER THAT?” I whisper-yelled to her.

She gritted her fangs again, slicing the cigarette right out of her mouth. “I’m not sure,” she admitted, angry with herself. “I shouldn’t have underestimated him.”

Gah! This was tough. How were we supposed to argue against that motivation? How could we prove she didn’t do that?

Unless…. hmm. “MAYBE WE CAN’T DISPROVE IT.”

Undyne’s eye went wide with disbelief. “You’re not giving up, are you?!”

I wasn’t! I had a brilliant idea though, inspired by none other than my best friend! When she’s losing a game, what does she do? Flip the table, of course! I couldn’t disprove Mettaton’s theory, but I could do something else!

“WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT DOGAMY AND DOGARESSA, UNDYNE? THEY RECOGNIZED YOU!”

“Huh?” she tilted her head. “Those two? They’re old acquaintances from back when I used to work for The Family. They have a small detective agency on the side. Their noses can’t be beat.”

The dogi in question were distracted at the moment. Sans was holding a slice of his ketchupizza, dangling it over their heads. “Food! (I smell food!) Very close! (Where is it?!) What is it? (It smells new!)”

Aha!

“MR. AND MRS. DOGI!” I called out.

Their ears perked up and their nostrils flared. “A talking snack! (Maybe if we’re good, he’ll let us bury him for later!)”

Good! So they can recognize me easy enough. Nyeh heh! “I HAVE A SIMPLE QUESTION FOR YOU TWO,” I grinned, putting my hands on my hips.

“We can answer any question! (Just give us a treat, already!)”

“WHAT COLOR IS MY TIE?”  

“Objection, darlings!” Mettaton interrupted quite quickly, looking a bit flustered. “That’s completely irrelevant!”

Skull resting in his arms, Sans yawned out, “it’s a simple enough question. i’ll allow it. go on, be good dogs and answer.”

Whimper. Dogamy sniffed in my direction, straining his eyes. Dogaressa elbowed him a bit roughly. “T-tie?...(What a stupid question! We don’t have to answer it!)”

“What’s the matter?” Undyne mocked, challenging them. “Can’t tell the color of a tie? Don’t you want treats?”

That got them riled up. Their tails wagged at lightning speeds. “Treats! (I want a treat!)” Slobber trickled from their lolling tongues. “It’s blue! (No, it’s black!) Actually, it’s pretty grey-ish? (A dark grey to be specific!)”

Yes! It was working! “I’M AFRAID THAT’S INCORRECT! MY TIE IS RED!”

Dogamy fell over himself, tears forming in his eyes. Dogaressa, however, was livid, stamping her paw down. “No treats then?... (You filthy liar! I’m telling you, it’s grey!)”

Mettaton wiped himself down with a loose rag. “So they can’t tell the color of your gaudy little tie! It doesn’t matter!”

I puffed out my chest heroically, causing Aaron to give me a thumbs-up. “BUT THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG! HOW COULD THEY KNOW PINK MAGIC WAS USED AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME?”

Tail between his legs, Dogamy cowered behind his enraged wife. Mettaton clapped his hands, demanding all attention be drawn back to him. “You don’t need to see to know what kind of magic is being used, darling.”

“THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT YOU CERTAINLY CAN’T SMELL THE COLOR OF MAGIC NOW CAN YOU?”

Sparks of electricity shot out from the rampaging robot. “Fine! So they don’t know what color magic was used! Who cares?! That doesn’t change what they found!”

Honestly, notepad, I felt bad making the dogi and Mettaton so upset, but what else could I do? I had to believe in my client! “IT CERTAINLY DOES! IF THEIR ONLY TALENT IS SMELLING FOR CLUES, WHAT IF THEY GOT EVEN THAT WRONG?!”

That made Mettaton laugh. With another wag of the finger he said, “Please, there’s no way you can prove that these dogs got their smells wrong, darling.”

“OH, CAN’T I?!”

“You can’t!”

“CAN’T I?!”

“…No, you can’t.”

“CAN’T I?!”

“Ugh.”

“bro, i love this shtick as much as the next guy, but you really gotta prove you’re not all bark,” Sans laughed quietly.

I nodded. “FAIR ENOUGH!” Boy, I really hoped this would work. With a satisfying click, I opened my briefcase and poured the contents onto Undyne.

“What the hell, Paps?!” she cried, spaghetti, bones, and aces sticking out of her coat pockets. Before she could protest, I removed her soggy rain/sweat drenched tie and began dabbing my own suit with it, placing it over my head as well. Now, this part I wasn’t going to like at all, but it was important that I proved my point! I nabbed a cigarette from Undyne’s lips and placed it between my bony teeth.

Ugh, it was horrible! I might not have lungs, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t feel the cancer billowing through my bones. “SORRY, UNDYNE! BUT I NEED TO DO THIS!”

After her little bout of grump/rage passed, a flash passed through Undyne’s eye, and I could tell she knew what I had planned.

“Just what are you two idiots doing?” Mettaton mumbled madly.

I nyed and I hehed. “WHY DON’T YOU ASK YOUR DOGI DETECTIVES?”

Dogamy and Dogaressa were completely baffled, their noses sniffing like whirring machines. “Is that the talking snack? (Or is that fish friend?)”

Undyne strolled up to the podium casually, now only a few feet away from the furry couple. “You don’t recognize your old pal?”

I joined her in front of the witness stand. “EVEN THOUGH OUR VOICES ARE CLEARLY DIFFERENT?”

Sweat rained down in droplets around the dogi, even Aaron looked a little worried. “Y-you’re fish friend! (No, that’s the snack skeleton isn’t it?)” Their noses went into overdrive, practically booping right into us. “Is this a trick? (These are different people!)”

Mettaton nearly short-circuited. “Darlings, darlings, come now, you can tell them apart!” His voice modifier was straining. “Only a bad dog wouldn’t be able to recognize them!”

Dogamy couldn’t handle the pressure. An ear-piercing howl of sorrow echoed through the courtroom. Dogaressa barked and snarled threats over her husband’s whines. “Nooawoooo! I’m not a bad dog! (Look what you did! I’ll destroy you! You’re no friend, whoever you are!)”

I adjusted my ties coolly, looking up to Sans as I spoke. “I THINK WE’VE PROVED WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THIS WITNESS’ TESTIMONEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED, YOUR MAGISTY.”

My bro was clearly impressed. In fact, I think he was even proud? “well, hot dog, it looks like you’re right. you’re gonna have to come up with something better than these two, metts.”

In a fit of pure madness, Mettaton manhandled his microphone, shattering it into a million metal pieces. Nyeh, heh, heh! Catty’s innocence was well within our grasp now!

With what seemed like a flip of a switch, the raging robot switched to a serene savant. “Bravo, bravo!” he clapped candidly. Nyeh? “That was quite the dramatic comeback! I must admit, I was on the edge of my wheel! I didn’t think you two could do it!”

I coughed up the cigarette, feeling a bit nervous. “T-THANK YOU?”

Stars sparkled and shined on steel. “No, thank you!” He wagged a finger. “I was quite worried I wouldn’t even need to call my second witness! I’m so glad we’ll be able to keep going with the trial! But, if you don’t mind, I’d like to take a short recess to prepare. Is that all right, your Honor?”

Sans nodded sleepily. “class dismissed, you kids have fun for fifteen minutes. i’ll be taking a nap.”

“Paps, that was great!” Undyne laughed, pulling spaghetti noodles out of her hair.

Wiping myself down with a dry towel, I giggled along with her. “I COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!”

“Yeah,” she sighed contentedly. “We do make a good team, don’t we?”

The lobby outside the courtroom was bustling with activity. Monsters of all shapes and sizes chattered away about the exciting court case, some sounded like they were on our side now! I was feeling quite proud of myself when the double doors swung open, revealing a particularly sad/grumpy pair of dogi.

The adrenaline of the case must have still been pumping as Undyne moved to greet them with a genuine smile. “Hey, guys! No hard feelings, right?” She motioned to pet their fuzzy faces.

Dogaressa snapped her teeth just before Undyne’s fingers, and Dogamy flinched away. “(Don’t you touch us!) I thought you were our friend… (You humiliated us! In front of everyone!)”

Undyne was taken aback. “Hey, I’m really sorry it had to turn out that way, but-”

“Everyone thinks we’re bad dogs now… (I’m glad you left The Family! If only you left us for good!)” Dogaressa tugged at her husband’s limp arm as the furry couple exited the building, whimpering and growling the whole way.

My partner was stunned. She stared forward at nothing, almost as if she had well… accidently kicked a puppy. I wouldn’t allow this! “UNDYNE, I’M SORRY YOUR FRIENDS GOT HURT.”

She shook her head, returning from her daydreams. “It’s okay, Paps. They’ll just need some time. I’ll give ‘em some treats and pets later. They’ll forgive me.” She nodded, sure of herself again. “We gotta deliver justice for Catty, even if it means a few people have to get hurt.”

I saw Undyne flinch as she said that – as if she was… in shock?

Sometimes I wondered if I was just making things worse for her. But, before I could console her any more, that sweaty voice echoed through the halls again.

“Recess is over! Court will be resuming, shortly! Everyone return to your places! ;)”

Luckily, Undyne is a tough cookie, and I’m a great friend! Things might look a bit rough right now, but I can assure you, notepad, that I will make sure everything turns out great! Or my name isn’t Papyrus!

Peace and Coffee Part 2

Part 2 and almost complete!

1 2 3 4(Complete)

The first video chat was extremely awkward and uncomfortable. He sat scrunched between Tina, Taylor, Haley, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis staring at the computer screen of Joy. He really wanted to be there for the first video chat since she landed in the Philippines. But he couldn’t help feel that after what had happened, it would be extremely painful and weird. So he thought he’d keep his distance and not video chat for awhile.

But Joy doesn’t get her forcefulness and determination from anybody strange. As soon as they found out their sister was going to be calling that Wednesday, her three sisters came and all but dragged Castel to the Curtis house. It was just as painful as he had imagined. A nervous smile plastered on his face and he noted the fact that Joy looked at everyone but him. She was still nice. She told them about the little village she has been stationed in, and that she was enjoying herself so far, and what they were doing for the village and so on.

The second video chat was a little less awkward considering the three sisters were back at their own homes and it was just Mr. and Mrs. Curtis…Castel didn’t go. It wasn’t just a little less awkward, it was a lot less awkward. But it killed him to not speak to her. He desperately needed to know she was okay, more importantly he wanted an opportunity tell her that he and Martha were an official thing. That she didn’t need to worry about what happened in the heat of her leaving. He’d blame it all on the fact that she was leaving, they were both very emotional and their emotions got the better of them.

He had rehearsed it over and over again. But when it came time for the video chat he couldn’t bring himself to see her—still so filled with shame. Mrs. Curtis stopped by the following Tuesday to bring his mom fresh oranges from her shop. Castel happened to sluggishly slink out of his room in search of food when she spotted him. She hugged him and told him about Joy’s last video chat and how she was doing. She didn’t fail to stress how crushed Joy was that he didn’t speak to her last week, and that Joy was hoping he’d come tomorrow to chat.

He was certain his heart would burst from all the construction. He was secretly hoping Joy hated him and he wouldn’t have to face her for a little while longer. But the truth was he was hoping, more so, that she wanted to see him. He smiled and agreed to come by for the video chat. He vowed to himself he’d hold off on the Martha bizz for a little while, he wanted to just talk to his friend that’s all. Nothing else.

After the eighth video chat the awkwardness seemed to dissipate. He’d come over in the early morning for her video chat and half of the time he’d be there with her parents. But soon they’d leave for work giving him the other half of the time to be alone with Joy. Neither of them brought up what had happened the day she shipped out. When she asked about Martha he tentatively told her he had taken her advice and took a leap. He had asked Martha out on a few dates and now they were a legitimate item.

“Oh r-really?” She stuttered a little but smiled hugely. “That’s fantastic Cassie! See I knew my hard work would pay off!” She had laughed and winked at him.

“Yeah, you were right.” He had chuckled, but he noticed there was something hidden behind her smile and in her eyes. He couldn’t make out what it was, but his gut told him it wasn’t her normal, full, overexcited Joy happiness she was known for.

Since then talking has become a lot easier. It’s been several months now since Joy left and their not-so-friendly-kiss feels so long in the past, that it’s almost completely forgotten. He and Martha had become closer the more dates they went on, and soon his fantasies of Joy were replaced with ones of his girlfriend. Feeling as though everything was falling back into a normal state he relaxed and was eagerly waiting for Wednesdays to arrive each week.

He walks into the Curtis house early one morning. It’s almost November and he’s finally got a new machine for cars on the market. Even though he knew a lot about computers he figured he’d start with something more simple than a motherboard upgrade. Cubs Industry was finally taking off and he already had several buyers! But one product wasn’t enough, so he’s been up for the past four days locked in his room trying to bang out another product.

Joy’s video chats happened so early in the morning that he’d roll out of his desk chair and drag his lifeless body over to the Curtis house for coffee. Rather than taking time to get the coffee maker going at his house and miss the small window of seeing Joy he had.

So when he walks into the house Mr. Curtis is already gone for the day and Mrs. Curtis sits at the kitchen table laughing at a computer screen. He hears another laugh and smiles as he walks further into the house. Mrs. Curtis spots him and smiles brightly.

“Cassie! Good morning love!” She laughs and wipes her eyes, “I didn’t even hear you come in dear. I was just listening to a funny story Joy was telling me about.” She grins and spins the laptop around to face Castel.

 He grins and waves at the computer screen, “Hey Jo-Jo.”

 “Sup dork-a-doo!” She articulates, grinning and waving back at him.

He shrugs and looks at the coffee pot on the kitchen counter, “Is there any—” he starts to ask but Mrs. Curtis cuts him off.

“Yes, yes help yourself dear no need to ask,” she waves dismissively.

 “Thank you,” he smiles and walks over to the coffee maker.

A beeping noise hits the air and Mrs. Curtis jumps a little. “Oh sugar!” She pouts and silences her watch, “I’ve got to go.”

She walks over to the door and takes her jacket off the rack. Pulling it on she walks over to Castel who takes a mug down from the cabinet.

“I’ve got to go love,” she says. “Help yourself to anything. You know that.”

“Yes ma’am,” he smiles and turns to her.

She looks him over and grimaces, “You’re a mess Cassie.”

He laughs, “Gosh you sound like my mom.”

“Well you are the son of my best friend,” she grins. “Therefore you are my child as well.” She shakes her head at his wrinkled, grease stained t-shirt and torn up jeans.

“I think you both just like mothering,” he teases and pours the coffee into a mug. “You look for stuff to take care of.”

She rolls her eyes, “Said just like a teenage boy.”

“Well I am one,” he says sarcastically and shrugs. He laughs when she hits his arm and she scowls jokingly.

“Watch your tone young man,” she points her finger at him. “I am your elder.”

“Yes ma’am,” he chuckles and she hugs him.

“You are the son I never had.” She sighs and pulls away. “Eat some actual food today Castel.”

“I’m fueled by caffeine,” he smiles and she shakes her head.

“There’s lunchmeat in the fridge. If I come home and find it has not been eaten, I’m coming to get you.” She threatens. “Capeesh?”

He laughs and nods, “Yes ma’am. I capeesh.”

She smiles and pats his cheek before turning to the computer screen, “Bye bye baby girl.” Mrs. Curtis says and blows a kiss at the computer screen.

“Bye Mommy!” Joy says and blows a kiss back, “Mwwaah!”

Castel smiles and turns back to the cabinet. He hears the front door shut as he reaches up trying to find the sugar cubes. He mutters when his hand comes up empty and he sighs in defeat. His stomach growls loudly and he decides to listen to the instructions of Mrs. Curtis—considering it has been almost forty-eight hours since his last actual meal. He hums ‘50 Ways to Say Goodbye’—it’s been stuck in his head for weeks—as he opens the bread box. He bobs a little as he takes the bread out and turns to the fridge. His humming turns to whistling as he takes the lunchmeat, along with some other sandwich fixings, into his arms. He kicks the fridge door closed and turns around to see Joy’s face still on the computer screen.

He stops whistling and stares at her. He had completely forgotten she was still here…well not here here but.

“Oh,” he says stupidly and she giggles a little.

 “Sorry I guess I should have said something,” she smiles knowing he had forgotten.

He smiles despite the warmth he feels spread across his face, “Ah ya think?” He chuckles and sets the food on the counter, abandoning his plan to make a sandwich. Instead he takes a seat at the table smiling at his friend on the laptop’s screen.

She giggles again, “Wow Cassie you look like an exhausted zombified mechanic! Mommy’s right you’re a hot mess dude!” She runs her hand along her jawbone, “You got a hefty beard going on there. When was the last time you showered?”

He shrugs, “I’ve been busy.” In truth he’s lost track…

“Ya nasty!” She wrinkles her nose and shakes her head. “So, what have been up to Mister Zombie Man?”

He smiles and shrugs again, “Eh new products, tinkering, gnawing on some guy’s temporal lobe. The youzhe.”

She giggles again and the beautiful ring causes his insides to flutter. Stop. Stop it. Control yourself Cubs.

“So business is good, huh?” She asks.

“Yes, yes very good.” He grins, “I’ve actually been asked to appear for a press conference Friday.” He puffs his chest and wipes his thumb across his nose, “Seeing as I’m the youngest engineer to build his own company in such a short time period.”

She narrows her eyes and smirks, “Wowie someone’s getting a little full of himself.”

“No, no.” He shakes his head, “No my dear Jo-Jo I am merely stating a fact. If I were full of myself I would have said they are calling me the Combative Clever Crafty Cub that’s taking the World by Storm.” He says in mock arrogance.

She snorts and covers her mouth as they both cackle loud with gleeful hearty laughter together. Their mirth slowly dies down and she smiles sweetly at him.

“So three months down,” he grins.

“And only a bazillion jillion million to go,” she huffs and juts her bottom lip out in a pout.

“Hey now,” he shakes his head leaning on his arms on the table. “It’s just like you said. It’ll go by fast, you’ll be back before you know it.” He smiles kindly. “And I’ll be right here waiting for ya.”

She smiles again, comforted by his words. “You better be, Casper.”

He chuckles deeply, “You have my word Jo-Jo.”

She smiles looking back at her childhood friend. His face is covered in dark brown hair; his unruly curls hang down just brushing against his eyebrows—and by the way it stands in different directions he’s just rolled out of bed. His deep chocolate colored eyes smile kindly at her, the red tint to his white sclera tells her it’s been at least four days since he’s slept. The way the light is hitting his face, makes his eyes look like more of a milk chocolaty color…a very russet brandy dandy new bright shiny penny color. She smiles a little at how the bright brown is complimented by the profoundly dark black endless pools of his pupils.

Her eyes travel down his face and for the first time she notices how chiseled his facial features are. The baby fat has completely dropped from his face and his cheek bones are very prominent now; that little scar by his left eye nearly unnoticeable behind his disheveled hair. His jawbone is cut so sharply as it leads down his neck where his very large and round Adam’s apple sits—perfectly parallel with his chin. The crisp caramel tone of his skin is all but gone now that summer is over, leaving his skin with a light tan.

She marvels at how different he looks with the curly, thick, whiskers that line his cheeks, his chin, and under his nose. Her eyes stop at his lips for a brief second. Their…good bye flashes in her head. His red round hard lips pressed so fiercely against hers. They were so strong and firm, yet they were also very soft and smooth at the same time. She wonders if that had been caused from all the years of trumpet playing. She remembers how broad his shoulders felt under her hands.

She could feel every curve of the muscles he had in his back, his chest, his sides, his strong arms locked around her. He had really honed his body over the years many summers spent mowing lawns and chopping wood with his dad. The kickboxing lessons he had started when he was thirteen, and years upon years of wrestling with his brothers all played a role in grooming his bod into what it is today. When did her dork start looking…well…hot? And why hadn’t she noticed it before? Sure, she knew boys changed in different ways than girls but…dang! The goof looking back at her was a huge chunk of sweet, sweet eye candy! Woof Cassie!

She starts to lose herself in the replay of him on top of her, the way he had growled before taking her challenge for control. The way his body moved against hers had stirred something in her. Something she’d never felt before. His voice is deep as it is—the cracking changes on every other syllable had been banished by his body years ago—but it sounded even lower in her ears as he growled in such a feral way. It caused her stomach to do summersaults.

Even now just thinking about it her belly is tightening and swirling, heart starting to beat faster at thoughts of wanting to do…whatever it was they had done…again. To have his rough cautious hands running over her. His lips devouring hers, his tongue snaking into her mouth grazing hers. His teeth biting in such an aggressive yet gentle way. His hips fitting so perfectly into hers. His deep voice growling and moaning in pleasure. His—wow hey now! Slow your roll there, girl! Back it up a little!

She takes a quick breath reminding herself, this is her best friend she’s thinking about. Her best friend who she had done something with that you don’t really do with your best friend. But batter on a corn dog! Can you blame her! The way he had followed her lips so feverishly, who wouldn’t get a little heated?

No! No, best friend here. Hi! Welcome back Joy! You don’t do, much less, think about doing things like that with you BFF! Your dude man! Your goofy cute dork-a-doo. Your sweet adorable nerd. Your really hot handsome home slice…ugh! Ok Joy we all get it! Cassie has really filled out, alright? He’s really grown into his body. He’s very much grown, it’s just a fact, just as his hair is brown. No need to make it into a big deal. Let it go girl!

She sighs a little as ‘Let It Go’ plays through her mind briefly. Best friend. Best. Friend. Cassie. Casanova. Casper. Casinator. Cassie-role. C-bear. Best friend…yeah. Best friend who has a girlfriend. Girlfriend! Cassie has Martha now! He had finally jumped! She should be proud of him. She is proud of him! Her lips quirk into a little smile at that thought.

He’s finally coming out of his shell, and now he’s got Martha. And Martha has him…she sure is one lucky duckling to have Cassie! Just wait until they start making out, wowie will she get a surprise! Under all that nerdy dorkiness is a very passionate kisser! Ha ha! Brace yourself chica!…speaking of Martha.

“Hey! How’s Martha?” She asks smiling brightly.

His eyes widen and sparkle with excitement, and if it’s at all possible his eyes get brighter in color. “She’s good. Three months as of yesterday!” He smiles like a kid in a candy shop, showing his pearly white teeth.

She smiles feeling pleased that she’s the reason for his glee about his first GF. Smiling brighter she throws her arms in the air, and says triumphantly, “I am the Master Match Maker!”

He chuckles and nods, “Indeed you are J-bird.” He tilts his head, “I don’t believe I ever thanked you for your help.”

“No you haven’t Sir,” she huffs playfully and rolls her eyes. “Rude!”

“Forgive me Master Match Maker!” He grins, “What do I owe you for your services?”

“Hmmmm,” she hums and taps her chin. “Dinner.”

“Dinner?” He raises a brow.

“Dinner sounds fantastic Cassie!” She says her eyes widening, “How thoughtful of you Casanova!”

He laughs and shakes his head, “Ah you know me.”

“This is a very true fact,” she nods. “You pick and we’ll go when I get back, ‘kay?”

“Only if I can throw in some ski ball.” He smirks and she giggles.

She sighs dramatically, “I suppose I’ll allow it.” She sticks her tongue out at him and he chuckles.  

“Sounds good.” He smiles, “Enough about me. How are you Jo-Jo?”

“I’m good Cassie-role,” she grins brightly. To the untrained ear she does sounds good. She sounds fine. But his ears are skilled. He hears the catch in her voice, it’s very slight ever so slight. Joy is a master at hiding her emotions—more so than he is.

His bright smile falls into a concerned grin, “What’s wrong Joy?” He asks without hesitation.

Her smile falters majorly but she manages holds her lips up, “What? Nothing! I’m as dandy as candy!” She laughs and closes her eyes for a moment, “Mmmmm candy!” She hums thinking fondly of strawberry liquorish, butterscotch hard candies, and caramel squares—her three favorite candies that they did not have in the Philippines. He grimaces a little—she only ever used that saying when she was trying to not only convince you but herself as well. Not good. It must be bad.

“Joy,” he says gently. “What’s eatin’ you?”

She looks a little shaken that he’s caught her and her eyes dart down away from his face. She chews her bottom lip and shrugs, “It’s nothing really. I’m really enjoying it here, I am. I know what we’re doing here, and I really like knowing that I’m helping. Doing my part, you know?” She looks up at him again.

“But?” He questions.

She pauses and bites her bottom lip again, “But…I’m not with my host family anymore. And it’s difficult not really knowing anyone. I was just starting to know my host family, too. And…it’s really lonely here.” She looks down again, “The day is fine. During the day I’m busy, so my thoughts are busy but at night…” she looks at him and his heart stops at the look in her eyes.

It’s a mixture of sadness, longing, desperation, and a searing crave. His lips fall into a flat line as his heart rate speeds back to life at such a fast pace that his hands start to shake. He’s never—in all the years of knowing her—he’s never seen that look. His brain catches fire trying to make sense of the look. There’s so much emotion in this one look. So many different sensations jutting in different directions, that for the first time in his life…he can’t read how she’s feeling.

“It gets…really, really, really lonely at night.” She says slowly at the volume of a whisper.

He swallows hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing fiercely. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

They haven’t talked about it. And part of her doesn’t want to bring it up. Ever. But the other, much large part, is pleading to bring it up. It’s been three months for ding dang sake! And it’s still haunting her! She hasn’t had a full nights sleep since the cataclysmic event! She needs to bring it up. She needs to talk about it. Just to get some kind of release! Trying to repress the whole thing it…it isn’t healthy! They need to talk. That’s what they’ve always done when something was bothering them, they talked it out. Although this is a different kind of bother…but a bother nonetheless! And she can’t take it anymore! Acting like it didn’t happen. She needs to say something. For the sake of her sanity! For the sake of her sleep! For the sake of…their friendship!

She breaths out deeply before her caramel…almost golden eyes look back at him.

“Castel.” She says.

No. He thinks as he starts to hear sirens ring in his head, No! No, no, no, no! Don’t do this! No, don’t wake this Joy! Not now! It’s going okay! Please, I beg you! Not yet! Not like this! Mercy! Please!!!!!

“Yes?” He squeaks out, his vocal chords betraying him causing his voice to crack in a way it hasn’t since he was twelve.

She stares at him in silence a new emotion coming into her eyes—fear. She clears her throat, her cheeks reddening. “Cassie. I…I need to…can we…you don’t…” she huffs in frustration trying her hardest to gather her thought.

Form words into sentences Joy. She tells herself in her head. She closes her eyes again, Breath. Just breath. You can do this. It’s Cassie. It’s just Cassie. You can do this…do it fast. Like ripping off a band-aid…yeah just like a band-aid…do it. Do. It.…Do it now!

Her eyes snap back open staring at his deep chocolate worried eyes. She opens her mouth ready to spew out what has been eating her for these long, painful three months. He sits there, heart pounding blood into his ears, his knuckles white as the clutch the edge of his seat. He’s biting the inside of his cheek to keep from screaming, trying his hardest to brace himself for the worst.

But then her eyes flicker to something off the screen. Her face falls immediately, her eyes close, her eyebrows scrunch and she sighs, “Oh, crap on a cracker! My time is up!” She opens her eyes again, “I’ve got to go Cassie. I’ll call again next week, alright?”

“Alright,” he nods and the sirens stopping.

“Love you!” She rushes to say before the screen goes black.

He sits there staring at the now black screen. Carefully he eases his ghost white fingers open to release the chair. Slowly opening and closing his hands to get blood pumping back through them, he sits there haunted by what just happened. He knew she was going to talk about it…but what was she going to say exactly? He was preparing for the end of his world, but was she really going to say something so catastrophically earth shaking? Was he overthinking this? She had kissed him back after all, could she really be that appalled?

Was she even appalled at all? They never talked about it so he has no way of knowing how she really felt. All he has is his assumptions…but that look of horror! He’s revolted by himself. How could he do that to his best friend! Who does that? No, there’s no way she’s not upset about what happened. There’s no way she feels the same as he does, whatever she was going to say it wasn’t going to be good.

What was he hoping for? That she’d say she liked it? That she’d say that she loved him…in a more intimate way than just friends? That she had been replaying it in her head, wanting to be in the moment again? Pa-lease Cassie! Get real man! Wake up and stop daydreaming! The reality is she is your best friend. Your best friend who you did something with that you should NEVER do with your best friend. And now you’ve terrified her! The only way to fix this is to not give it any attention. Don’t bring it up. Don’t think about it. Distractions. Work. Business. Tinkering. Family. Martha.

He sits there for what feels like years before he breaths out, “Love you too.”
