Once Upon a Starry Night

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline Eve Ewe, Bolt - @lavendersartistry

This is a wholesome fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU! This is mainly centered on the ask I sent to Onyx about the Space Critters attending a ball/gala! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE GOING TO A GALA???"

Upon CraftyCorn's quick turn to DogDay, CatNap frowned at the sudden yell.

By what Bubba has said, their pen pal Eve had invited them all to the evening gala. A bit late for the invitation, as Bubba would put it. But it had seemed fair to have everyone come as a little reward for their recent successful missions.

"Princess Everiene has courtly spoken that we come to the gala as special guests. A very nice gesture of Her Majesty."

CraftyCorn nearly squealed at the news and ran off to prepare and to most likely make formal attire for everyone.

CatNap signed with a puzzled look.

'Do you think Z will come?'

DogDay shrugged and looked back at the set coordinates for Eve's planet.

"I don't know, being honest. He's never met Eve before and I think the gala would be a bit overwhelming."

Bubba nodded and leaned back in his seat, taking another sip of coffee.

"It's to have them meet at their own time. Maybe Z and Eve will get along well."

CatNap signed again.

'So DogDay is free from gossip for now. Oh well, there's always Bolt.'

"What do you mean by that?"

'I'll tell you when we get there.'

........

The gala felt like a fairytale. Elaborate gowns, fancy suits, divisions of the royal courts.

Bobby could nearly squeal at how glamorous the ordeal was, yet CraftyCorn had to calm herself before she actually squealed.

Hoppy and KickinChicken were busying themselves at the buffet tables, lightly fighting over the desserts while PickyPiggy snagged a few cookies in her pockets.

Bubba mingled with the other guests, mostly talking to a blue monarch butterfly lady.

That left DogDay and CatNap left to their own devices. However, they only observed from the drinking table as DogDay looked for Bolt.

"It's a bit past 11. Shouldn't they be announcing Eve coming?"

CatNap shrugged and leaned his head against his closed fist as he mindlessly floated. The captain, on the other hand, sighed and looked back to the dancing crowds, waiting patiently.

A quick lightning bolt strikes the garden path as Bolt approaches the drinking table while grumbling. Despite being so angry, he seemed quite handsome in his blue and gold suit.

Before the two critters could greet him, the wolf slammed his fists against the table.

"Damn that council..."

CatNap raised a eyebrow at him, quickly signing.

'Is Eve alright?'

Bolt sighed heavily and tried calming himself.

"No, she's not! That council, once again, projects onto her! And of course, I can't do much of the matter either."

DogDay patted his back in assurance, being a little upset himself.

As the two tried comforting their friend on the situation, the candle lights from the chandelier dimmed. The three watched as the music became softer and people by the end of stairs moved away.

Eve was guided down the stairs, the silver trim of her dress glittering from the hidden spotlight. Her expression remained calm despite the quick glances to Bolt.

CatNap looked towards Bolt and signed:

'Go to her.'

The wolf sighed softly and leaned back.

"I... I can't. Not when I already caused enough trouble for the both of us."

DogDay didn't believe his words, quickly nudging him.

"Sometimes you have to go against the rules. Go to her, Bolt."

The wolf looked at the both of them and let out another sigh before heading over as DogDay and CatNap watched.

"So how did you know Bolt had a long crush on Eve again?"

'I have my ways.'

"I felt like a father figure."

"Watch me make it canon."

My new favorite domestic Blanc x Phillip headcanon is that at some point they get a quarentine cat. Her name is Lovett and she’s basically Phillips cat at this point, following him around and being sad when he’s gone, but her favorite time of day is when Blanc takes her on her “walk”, which means putting her on her little leash and taking her outside so she can roll in some grass for 15 minutes before heading back inside. Blanc complains about having a leash for a cat that doesn’t do any walking, but he enjoys the excuse to get out of the house.

" Pineapple scores in between 3 and 4 on the pH scale, meaning it's highly acidic. That's the same amount of acidity, if not MORE, than STOMACH ACID.

It also contains an enzyme called bromelain, which is known for its ability t' break down protein chains -- pineapple juice is commonly used as a marinade because of it. If you leave a thing a' meat in pineapple juice for too long, the meat'll all fall apart.

Anyways. Just an interesting science fact. "

The Bite that Stings

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline KoiRite - @lavendersartistry

This fic is another party fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU, this time with shenanigans! Check out this POV for context! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

The soft, formal music by the orchestra felt like torture to Hoppy's eardrums. It was too quiet, too nice. Hoppy needed something... something exciting.

She looked around the ballroom, making quick observations.

Kickin and Bobby were off dancing.

Bubba was off mingling, as per usual.

Picky was near the buffet table.

Crafty, Koi, and Z were by the drink table.

So many options to go do to distract herself but none seemed worth it. Hoppy thought about going to find where DogDay and CatNap were, but that felt like a bit of too much effort.

Unless DogDay was hiding because Z was with everyone, and in a suit. Then a light bulb went off in Hoppy's mind.

It was only 10:55. By 11:00, the party would go into a full swing of partnered dances. If Hoppy could get DogDay and Z to meet around that time, they would be able to spend time together.

Hoppy headed out the doors to find DogDay and CatNap, running down the hallways to find the duo.

She had eventually found them in one of the lounge rooms, DogDay plopped on the sofa while CatNap tried getting him off. It seemed the two were arguing.

"I'm not heading out there!"

'It's only a dance. Stop being a gay in denial and talk to him.'

"HEY-"

Hoppy snickered and walked over to the two.

"Trying to pair up DogDay and Z for the upcoming dance too?"

CatNap calmly nodded as DogDay groaned under the sofa's cushions, turning his head to face the two.

"I can't do it! I'll freeze up before even trying to ask for a dance!"

Hoppy sat on the sofa, next to DogDay's head and poked his cheek.

"It's now or never, captain. One chance to dance with your crush. You just gotta do it!"

CatNap nodded at Hoppy's words, which made DogDay sigh. She was right, this was the one chance he and Z could spend time together for just one night.

DogDay sat up and heavily sighed, nodding.

"You're right. I have to do this. Let's go."

Hoppy cheered as DogDay got up from the sofa, taking a deep breath before heading out of the lounge room. Hoppy and CatNap followed suit, ready to watch everything go down.

---------------

Z glanced up at the time. 10:59. Only a minute left till the partnered dances. He crossed his arms, leaning back to the wall.

"Are you alright?"

Z turned his head, noting Crafty's concern for him. He simply sighed and turned his head away.

"Almost 11. That partnered dance is a minute away. Not looking forward to ladies clamoring over for a dance."

Koi, hearing everything, lightly laughed as she sipped her third glass of wine.

"Why not ask DogDay for a dance? I'm sure he wouldn't mind that."

Z looked towards Koi's direction, then sighed.

"That's... not a bad idea, I suppose. Also, how are you not drunk yet?"

"High alcohol tolerance."

Z mumbled a "uh huh" before glancing at the time again. 11 pm. The dance was starting.

As if on cue, Z felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around.

DogDay.

Z took this as a sign. He lightly bowed, gaze at DogDay.

"May I have this dance, captain?"

DogDay blushed at Z's gesture but nodded, putting his hand in Z's.

---------------

CatNap was looking at something for far too long, his tail swaying under his feet. He was frowning at something, something bad.

"Yo, CatNap! You okay, buddy?"

CatNap glanced over at Hoppy.

'I can't tell if it's a drunk or someone genuinely being rude.'

"What do you mean- ohhhhh."

Hoppy leaned her head over to see what CatNap was referring to, now knowing what he meant.

"Get Koi to handle it?"

'Yep.'

"Instigate for a fight?"

'Totally.'

Like gremlins, CatNap and Hoppy heading over to Koi who was by the corner with Z, Crafty, and DogDay.

DogDay immediately noticed the smug faces, knowing they were going to start something.

"What are you two up to this time?"

Hoppy dramatically shrugged, holding back her laughs.

"Oh, nothing. It's just there's some jerk that's being a bit of an ass to some girls. Dunno if he's just drunk or not."

CRACK

The sound of glass nearly breaking alarmed DogDay, turning over to Koi.

Her expression darkened as she clutched the glass tightly, muscles lightly flexing under her sleeves.

DogDay quickly looked away, trying not to stare. Koi, on the other hand, looked straight at CatNap.

"What tie?"

'Light blue tie.'

Koi stood up, carefully putting the glass in her hand down on a nearby table before pulling off her tie and wrapping it around her right hand.

"I'll take care of it."

As Koi walked off, DogDay was panicking.

"Wait, Koi, don't! Guys, why?! We don't need this tonight!"

Z shrugged and leaned back.

"But it makes the night more entertaining."

DogDay facepalmed.

"You're not helping!"

---------------

Koi, despite her anger, calmly walked to the scene Hoppy described. She took a notice of the poor ladies and rude jackass by the door. In a quick motion, Koi forcefully grabbed the guy by the back of his hair, keeping her gaze to the ladies.

"Apologies, but I would like you three to leave. This will be taken care of, I assure you, but I wouldn't want to frighten you."

Due to Koi's appearance, many believed she was a man with a cold and protective demeanor rather than a woman. The ladies instantly blushed and walked away, whispering to each other.

Koi made sure they were far away before pulling the guy's head back further before slamming his head into the ground, making the ground shake a little.

A few Space Riders ran over, including Hoppy and CatNap. Hoppy cheered at the scene.

"Go Koi, go! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!"

---------------

"So. Koi, huh?"

Crafty snapped out of her flustered state and lightly glared at Z.

"Shut up!"

Such a fun morning , even though I am a terrible dancer

[strebcr]

I'm at episode 5 of caped crusader...

[morganee]

So I found a HSM poll on my dash and it made me think of something Byler-related. We know that High School Musical 2 was used as inspiration for S4, right? We saw how the Byler Rink-O-Mania fight mirrors the Troy/Gabriella "Gotta Go My Own Way" scene.

But the poll in question was about the most queer-coded line in "I Don't Dance" and.. that song literally has this line:

"you'll never know (oh I know) if you never try"

When I read it I couldn't stop thinking about Argyle and El force-feeding Mike the pineapple pizza ("Try before you deny!") and how fruit on pizza can be viewed as a homosexual reference. And we know that "I Don't Dance" is widely considered a queer-coded song (rightfully so lol).

Is this a coincidence? Most probably. I just find it extremely funny that Argyle's line about pineapple on pizza can be found in one of the gayest songs of HSM lmao
