i am in love.
Nightmare dress
Elsa, honey, beautiful, queen of my life... Next time you make your dress, make it simpler.
Think of the artists, of the people who want to capture your beauty.
If you want fanart then make it simpler!!!!
I know it's not very accurate, but I did what I could...
I'm going to sleep!
Enjoy my brainrot!

One of the (many many) reasons I love Frozen so much is because of how much it modernises the Disney fairytale without completely throwing it over it's head either.
Like yes, it shits on the idea of love at first sight and how not to blindly give your hand to someone you barely know. But it also shows how there's nothing wrong with quickly clicking with someone and testing the waters of a relationship with them. And to the people who claim Anna getting with Kristoff "goes against the message of the movie", please, tell me you understand the difference between getting engaged and sharing a kiss...
It shows the importance of familial love, which is without a doubt THE main plot point of the (first) movie, without shitting on romance as a whole. Anna is never forced to choose between family and romance, her happy ending is being able to have both (this is also one of the reasons why I hate F2's ending, but this is a post praising F1, I don't have the mental energy to shit on F2 right now).
Also, I swear, if I have to hear one more person say "Anna chose Elsa over Kristoff" in the climax I'm going to scream. Anna chose Elsa's life over her own life by protecting Elsa instead of going to Kristoff for a true love's kiss.
Wheter that kiss would've worked or not is another discussion entirely, point is Anna assumed it would've worked, so she was totally aware she was giving up her chance to live to save Elsa. That is NOT the same as her "choosing Elsa over Kristoff" and looking at this scene like that is so insulting to Anna's sacrifice.
Either way, just give me more media about family AND romance, because too much media focused on family acts like you need to give up/not care about romance in other to achieve happy/healthy family dynamics.
#the only exceptions I've seen is already established married couples but I'm talking about actual growing blooming romances#(not to mention those are always side characters not the main characters so it still doesn't count)#disney frozen#frozen#princess anna#anna#queen elsa#elsa#arendelle sisters#kristoff bjorgman#kristoff#kristanna#frohana#disney#serena speaks

Not His Type - Jimmy Darling x Fem!Reader (18+)
I genuinely can't tell if this is good or not lmfao, I haven't written smut in literal yearsss and I've never written for ahs please help me.
CW: fingering, oral (fem receiving), public sex, slight praise at the end word count: 1316
"I'm telling you, Ethel, I'm definitely not his type," you explained, for what felt like the millionth time, to Jimmy's sweet mother. She and you have become increasingly close over the time that you've been working at the freakshow. Two years ago, you came looking for a job, just something small to make at least a little money. Elsa turned you down at first, because you were nothing short of normal, but after offering (begging) to help Ethel with the cooking, she finally gave in.
"How do you know what his type is? You've never asked 'im," she responded, continuing to chop the vegetables you both were preparing for the night's dinner. You scoffed, rolling your eyes and sliding the diced onion into a large pot.
"He likes Maggie. And what's not to like? She's blonde, thin, pretty face..."
Ethel glanced up with a small smirk creeping onto her lips. "Listen, Y/n, I've known Jimmy my whole life and I'm telling you, he's liked you for a while now."
Jimmy was the first guy you had shown any interest in. Most of them are crude and only want one thing, but he was the first man to ask for your name, take your hand and gently kiss your knuckles as an introduction. Well, needless to say he's had you since day one.
"Nope," you denied. "I am not his type, not even close."
"Not who's type?" Jimmy asked, striding into the tent. He had a playful smile on his face, and you turned away from him immediately, praying that the blush on your face wasn't as apparent as it felt.
"Nothing, don't worry about it," you said quietly. "Just boring girl talk."
Ethel put her knife down on the table and turned to you. "Oh, you know what? I forgot to grab a carrot, I'll go find one, don't wait up!" she said, half yelling as she quickly walked out of the tent, leaving you and Jimmy alone.
You suppressed a grin and rolled your eyes, standing in front of the table and starting to cube a potato. You saw Jimmy move towards you out of the corner of your eye and felt your heart flutter. It's stupid for him to have this hold over you.
"Hi, Y/n," Jimmy said in a sing-song voice.
You smiled and looked up at him. "Hi, Jimmy."
"Who's the lucky guy?" he asked.
"What lucky guy? The one who doesn't like me back?" He grinned and shortly nodded. "It doesn't matter. I have no chance." you said, looking back at the medley on the table.
Jimmy came closer to you, now standing just mere inches away, his body heat making you impossibly warmer. "Put the knife down, Y/n."
You placed the knife onto the cutting board and pushed it away from the table's edge. You turned to Jimmy, who took your wrists in his hands and smiled at you. "Who's the lucky guy?"
He leaned his head towards yours, nudging your cheek with his nose. You gasped, trying to control your breath and slow your heartbeat, but you knew it was no use. "Um, it's you, Jimmy," you said, awkward and quiet. You felt him smile against your skin.
"And who says you're not my type?" he said, clearly amused, but your sense of embarrassment dwindled quite quickly. You didn't answer him. Your words were caught in your throat and his proximity was making you very nervous.
He didn't press the issue further, and instead kissed your cheek, then the corner of your mouth, and after a small pause to look into your eyes, he smiled again and placed his lips on yours.
His hands grasped your waist, and you placed yours on his shoulders for stability. He gently bit your bottom lip, eliciting a moan from you, and he continued to kiss his way down your jaw to your neck, biting and licking until he found the spot that made you moan yet again.
He sucked on the skin just below your ear, and you threw your head back to give him space. He walked you back a few steps, until your lower back hit the table behind you. Jimmy pulled away and lifted you up, sitting you down on the cleared space of the table. Now standing between your legs, he reached his hands under your shirt and pulled it off.
His left hand massaged your breast, hardening your nipple and sending chills down your spine. His right hand moved further down, rubbing soft circles over your clothed clit. You moaned and pulled your head away from him.
"Is this okay?" he asked you.
"Your mom will be back soon," you said, although you didn't want him to stop.
"We'd better make this quick then, lift your hips." he said, as he quickly pulled down your pants and underwear in one go.
"Jimmy! The food is right here!" you exclaimed, your heart pounding steadily.
He laughed and kissed down your body, positioning himself on his knees right in front of your dripping pussy. "The heat will cook off anything bad, don't worry." He ran his fingers through your wetness and stuck them in his mouth. "You taste delicious," he said, kissing your thighs, inching closer to where you most want him.
"Jimmy, please," you whimpered, wriggling your hips to try and find some sort of friction.
"Please, what?" he teased, looking up at you.
You groaned in embarrassment, "Please touch me, lick me...anything."
He smiled up at you and lightly kissed your clit, sticking his tongue out and flattening it against you. You gripped the edge of the table and let your head fall back in pleasure.
He kitten licked your clit before briefly pausing, and running his tongue from the base of your pussy back up to your clit, sucking it and kissing it in a way you've never felt before.
You let out a series of moans, trying to keep them quiet in case anyone was near enough to hear. You moved your hand into his hair and pulled on it, causing him to moan and send vibrations through your core. You leaned back on your left hand, hoping it would be enough to support you through this.
Jimmy took his right hand from where it rested on your thigh and plunged his middle two fingers into your hole, pushing them as far in as possible before withdrawing them. He began to pump them, slowly at first, and as your moans got louder his hand went faster.
You could feel your arousal dripping out of you, running down to your asshole and collecting on Jimmy's chin. It wasn't long before you were a wriggling mess. You could feel your pelvic muscles tightening and your walls started to clench around his fingers. "Jimmy, I-I'm gonna...cum," you moaned out.
Jimmy took his mouth away from you and pumped faster, if that was even possible. He took his left hand and rubbed hard, fast circles on your clit and looked up at you, your mouth agape and eyes squeezed shut. "Cum for me, Y/n. Cum on my fingers like a good girl,"
That was all you needed before he sent you over the edge. You bit your knuckles, trying to keep quiet but your moans still sounded loud in your ears. You clenched tightly around Jimmy and squeezed your legs together as the pressure inside you was released.
Jimmy took his fingers out but rubbed your clit through your orgasm before helping you put your pants back on. He stood up, wiped his mouth on his arm and smiled at you. "Who says you're not my type?" he grinned, backing away from you as Ethel came back in, holding up two carrots.
"Found 'em," she said, before setting them down on the opposite side of the table and sending you a playful smirk.

A Birthday to Remember - Toto Wolff x OC
My first attempt at a one-shot, based on this glorious request from @latte-luxe:
If you can, could you please write a short, but spicy🌶️🌶️🌶️ one shot of a young, crazy, yet loveable 5'2 Maestra who is celebrating her 30th birthday in Monaco, and a certain 6'5 F1 team principal laid eyes on her and knew he just had to have her. 😅😅😅🙏🙏🙏
Word Count: 4k
Warnings: Caution may contain spice.
Author’s Notes: Disclaimer, purely fiction, no-one is married in this alt-universe.
THE MORNING
It was Saturday morning and stepping out onto her balcony at the Fairmont Monte Carlo, Fernanda swept her eyes over the spectacular view. It was a pinch yourself to check if you’re dreaming kind of view of sparkling blue waters, peppered every so often with a gleaming white yacht.
“Good morning, birthday girl.” murmured a husky, heavily accented voice from behind her. Before she even had the chance to turn around, a pair of muscular arms swooped around her from behind before coming to rest on her hips, gently squeezing her curves.
“Good morning to you too,” she said, turning around and leaning up to kiss the tall towel-clad Austrian, resting her hand on his bare chest as he pressed himself tightly against her. It was yet another pinch me I’m dreaming moment. If someone had told Fernanda this time yesterday that this was how she would be spending her Saturday morning she would have laughed and called them crazy, but sometimes life could be crazy.
THE NIGHT BEFORE
It was a sunny evening and Fernanda had stood out on the balcony with a glass of wine in her hand, admiring the view whilst waiting for her three best friends to get ready. As a lifelong Formula One lover, a weekend trip to Monaco had been on the cards for a while so when her friends asked where she wanted to go to celebrate her thirtieth birthday it was at the top of the list. Turning the dream into reality was another thing altogether and she still couldn’t believe that the trip had materialised.
Dinner was due to be lowkey as Saturday was going to be the big night out, with dinner plans at Elsa, a Michelin-star establishment, followed by a night on the tiles at Jimmyz, a club frequented by the world of Formula One. Friday night’s restaurant of choice was Song Qi, an upscale Chinese restaurant in Larvotto that had come highly recommended.
“Fernanda, how long is the walk?” A voice called out from the suite.
“About five/ten minutes.” She replied, sighing, as always the mom of the group.
“Medium heels it is then,” her friend Olivia replied.
“We can always get a car,” Fernanda suggested.
“No, let’s conserve the taxi budget for tomorrow night,” Olivia said, stepping out onto the balcony to
accompany her friend, “Laura and Becca are almost ready.”
“Good idea,” Fernanda replied, “You look gorgeous by the way.”
Olivia beamed with the compliment, stepping back to twirl in her pink minidress and sparkling sandals, “I try my best, although I can’t compete with you, my spicy little Salma Hayek twin.”
Fernanda blushed, everyone always compared her to the diminutive Mexican actress and truth be told, it wasn’t the worst comparison in the world. She’d chosen a simple white dress with gold sandals for the evening’s dinner, perhaps a risky move in a restaurant serving noodles but she felt fabulous. Her dark hair was slicked back into an elegant bun and she’d highlighted her tanned skin with golden shimmering oil, a move that always brought the compliments.
It wasn’t long before Laura and Becca also emerged, both looking as beautiful as ever. The four friends had treated themselves to two adjoining suites and opened up the connecting door to create a mega-suite.
“Oh la la, give us a twirl,” said Fernanda, looking her elegant friend up and down as she dutifully spun around.
“Beautiful!” Now it was Laura and Becca’s turn to blush. “Ditto! Shall we get going?”
“Sounds like a plan.” Fernanda agreed, the four of them making their way off of the balcony.
——
Song Qi turned out to be an excellent choice, with the table weighed down with baskets of dim sum and bowls of noodles, crispy beef and endless wontons. The restaurant was decadent but comfortable and as Fernanda sank back into her sumptuous green velvet chair she spotted a strangely familiar face at the table across from them. He was dark-haired, handsome with chiselled features and although he was sat down, tall, as he towered above the two men he was dining with.
It took a moment to realise that it was none other than Toto Wolff, the affable Mercedes Formula One team principal. Although she thought it was only for a moment, Fernanda must have stared for a while as he briefly met her eyes and shot her a charming smile. Smiling back like a fool, her friends whipped their heads around to see who their friend was smiling at, fortunately, Toto not noticing as he had returned to his plate.
“Damn girl, he’s kinda hot, in that old businessman kind of way,” said Olivia, turning back around to face Fernanda.
“Well yes…” Fernanda stuttered, “He’s also one of the team principals in Formula One.”
“Huh?” Asked her three friends blankly, not followers of the sport.
“Kind of like the equivalent of a football manager,” Fernanda explained, “Except he owns some of the team as well.”
“Fancy, well he’s pretty. You should go and talk to him.” Said Laura, all formula one facts going straight over her head.
“Oh my god, no,” Fernanda said, “I’m sure he was just being polite.”
As if on cue, Toto looked up and locked eyes with her once again, his deep brown eyes crinkling. Fernanda gulped, returning his gaze with a smile once again.
Dinner continued, with the girls chatting away as Fernanda every so often met Toto’s eyes across the crowded restaurant. He looked to be in some kind of business meeting as the two men with him were dressed smartly and looked serious while conversing with them.
It wasn’t long before dinner had been cleared and a smiling waiter emerged with a chocolate cake laden down with a sparkler and a golden thirty-number candle, Olivia, Becca and Laura looking at each other mischievously before breaking into a rousing rendition of the Happy Birthday song. Fernanda felt her cheeks reddening as she realised the entire restaurant, including Toto and his business associates had joined in the song. As she blew out the candle, she once again locked eyes with Toto who was grinning away while applauding.
“You guys are the worst,” Fernanda said, half joking as she shook her head at her friends. “But that’s why I love you.”
“Aw, well we had to do something,” said Laura, “It’s not every day you have a big birthday like this and although I still don’t understand why you love your car racing so much, I’m happy that we came here.”
Fernanda smiled at her friends, she was appreciative of them, enabling her desire to walk around the Formula One track and visit the car museum, despite the fact they really weren’t interested. Just as she was musing how ironic it was that she’d seen Toto Wolff, their waiter reappeared with a tray of drinks.
“Oh, I don’t think we ordered those,” said Olivia politely.
“Yes Madame, in fact, the gentlemen over there sent them alongside their birthday wishes.” The waiter replied.
Fernanda’s eyes widened, Toto Wolff had sent her birthday wishes. An interesting turn of events.
“Well, then that’s very nice of them,” said Olivia, as the waiter set them down, “Fernanda, you should go and say thank you!”
“Oh my God, yes, go!” Said Becca, egging her friend on.
Sighing, but also buoyed by her friends’ enthusiasm, Fernanda spoke, “I’m going to go but only to say thank you.”
Her three friends squealing with excitement, Fernanda took an extra sip of her drink for courage before standing up and sauntering over to where Toto and his associates sat. His interest piqued immediately as he noticed her making her way across the restaurant.
“Good evening, sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to say thank you for the drinks, it was very kind of you,” Fernanda said, a little too quickly due to nerves.
“Well, it’s not every day you celebrate a milestone like that.” Replied Toto kindly, standing up to hold out a hand to shake, “I’m Toto by the way, and this is Jean and Sebastian,” he gestured at the older gentlemen he was dining with.
Struck by the almost comical height difference Fernanda looked up at the tall Austrian in front of her as he gripped her hand very tightly, “I’m Fernanda, nice to meet you all.”
The other gentlemen smiled at her politely, wishing her a happy birthday before picking their conversation back up. Toto, however, remained stood up, his eyes raking her curves. “Fernanda?” He asked, “A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.”
Now Fernanda was really blushing, “You’re far too kind.”
“Not at all,” he said, “I hope you do not think this forward but would you like to join me for dinner one evening?”
Fernanda’s eyes widened, floored that this man was asking her out. “I would love to but unfortunately I’m only here until Sunday so I’m not sure if I’ll have time.”
Toto looked disappointed but pressed further, “Well then, how about a drink later this evening?”
Fernanda’s eyes went even wider before she managed to answer, “I’m not sure, it’s a girl's trip and I don’t want to ditch my friends, I really would love to though. Maybe can I get your number and text you once I’ve figured out their plans?”
“Understood,” replied Toto, looking down, gazing into her eyes with an unreadable expression, “It would be my pleasure, give me your phone.”
Fernanda’s eyes lit up as she handed her phone to the tall Austrian in front of her who deftly punched in his contact. “Thank you, I’ll check in with the girls and let you know. I’ll leave you to your dinner for now but I hope to see you later,” she said with a smile.
Toto turned to glance at his dining companions who were still deep in conversation, and dropped closer down to Fernanda’s ear, keeping his voice low, sending a shiver down her spine, “It’s okay, I don’t think they missed me. I hope to see you later too Fernanda.”
Fernanda looked up at Toto with a smile, “I’m sure they did. See you, Toto.” As she turned back towards her table she glanced over her shoulder and saw Toto’s eyes were locked on her as he returned to his seat. He was undeniably hot and as much as she always abided by the golden rule, chicks before dicks, this was special circumstances.
Sitting back down with her friends, they immediately leaned in to get the lowdown.
“What did he say? He didn’t take his eyes off of you!” said Laura excitedly.
“Just wished me a happy birthday… and asked me out,” said Fernanda blushing.
“No way!” exclaimed her three friends in unison.
“You’re going to go right?” said Olivia, looking at her friend in concern.
“I’m not sure.” said Fernanda, “I don’t want to ditch you all for a man but equally he’s hot as fuck and it would only be for an hour or so.”
“An hour or so?” said Becca, raising her eyebrows, “I doubt this, but you should go, make it a memorable birthday!”
Fernanda looked over once again at where Toto sat, he was a striking man, pushing all of his success to one side. “What the hell, I’ll message him now. What’s the worst that could happen?”
Her friends squealed with excitement in unison.
Fernanda grabbed her phone and nervously began typing her message to Toto.
It’s all good for tonight, we’re almost done eating so I’m free whenever you are.
She could see Toto excuse himself and take out his phone, shooting her a grin from across the restaurant before looking down to type a response.
Sure enough, Fernanda’s phone buzzed.
Perfect, so are we. Shall I meet you outside in ten minutes?
Fernanda replied excitedly, still not believing she was texting Toto Wolff of all people.
Sounds like a plan.
——
Fernanda was nervous but excited as she saw Toto and his associates pay their bill and head off, Toto shooting her a wink as he jostled his way out of the restaurant.
Settling their own bill, Fernanda and her friends were close behind and as she exited the restaurant, sure enough, she saw Toto standing outside waiting for her, leaning casually up against a column.
Bidding her friends goodbye, she made her way towards her date for the evening. “Hi,” she said somewhat awkwardly, knowing that her friends were likely watching from where they were ordering a taxi to return them to their hotel.
“Hi,” he said, glancing down at her fondly, “How was your dinner?”
“So good!” she said, “How was yours?”
“It was okay, my dining companions weren’t as lovely as you but I think my evening is improving,” he said with a rakish grin.
Fernanda smiled, “You’re a charmer, Toto. Where were you thinking of heading?”
“I know a place a few streets behind, it’s not so fancy but they have an excellent selection of wine if you like it?”
Knowing that she was already a little tipsy, Fernanda was grateful he’d suggested wine, “Sounds good to me, lead the way, Mr Wolff!”
Toto whipped his head around, “I never told you my surname.”
Feeling she’d made a huge error of judgement, Fernanda stuttered, his dark eyes intimidating her before she decided the best course of action was to fess up, “Well it took me a moment but I recognised you. Guilty as charged.”
Musing quietly, Toto’s expression softened, “So you know a little about me, tell me about yourself.”
As the pair made their way around the twisting streets towards the bar, Fernanda filled Toto in on her background, her career as a teacher and her plans for the weekend.
Soon enough they arrived at their destination, Toto, taking the lead and speaking with the Maitre D’ who promptly led them to a secluded table towards the back of the bar.
Settling down on the chair opposite Toto, Fernanda was suddenly much more nervous.
“You look nervous,” Toto said, his eyes kind.
“Well, this is not how I thought my evening was going to pan out. The ruse is up in that I recognised you so I may as well tell you that we came to Monaco because I love Formula One.” Fernanda blushed furiously as her words tangled into one.
“Relax Fernanda, so you know about formula one?” he said, reaching across the table, taking her hand in his and tracing small circles with his thumb on the back of her hand.
“Well, probably not as much as you.” Fernanda laughed, breaking the tension and gazing into his eyes.
“You’d be surprised,” said Toto shrugging with a smirk. “I just got lucky.”
——
As the evening went on, the pair discussed everything under the sun, the wine helping Fernanda to feel less awkward and forget who she was talking to. Toto was funnier than she expected and she spent half the evening giggling at his stupid remarks. He’d regaled her with stories of his travel adventures, driving mishaps and various other anecdotes, whilst she’d filled him in with her tales of teaching and embarrassing childhood moments. They’d bonded over their love of all things with an engine and time had flown by.
“Ahem.” Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a waiter, “Monsieur, Madame, I am sorry to say that we are closing in ten minutes. Can I take one last order?”
Knowing she was well beyond tipsy, Fernanda shook her head, looking at Toto to check if he was in agreement. Looking somewhat bleary-eyed himself he shook his head as well, “Just the bill please.”
Soon enough the cheque had been settled and Fernanda found herself once again wandering the moonlit streets of Monaco with Toto, this time her hand firmly encased in his.
“Where do you need to go?” Toto asked kindly, “I can drop you back.”
“I’m staying at the Fairmont,” Fernanda replied, not wanting the night to end.
“It’s not so far, are you happy to walk?” he asked, squeezing her hand.
“Sure, it’s just up there,” she replied gesturing at the bend in the road where the hotel was perched, “As long as you can get home okay?”
“I’ll be fine,” said Toto, a dark look in his eye. “Fernanda, when do you leave again?”
“Sunday afternoon,” she said sadly, wishing she was staying for longer.
“Well, you’ll have to come back next year for the Grand Prix,” he said, a twinkle in his eye.
“Maybe if I rob a bank!” she said with a chuckle, “One day.”
“I don’t like to boast, but I might know someone who can get you in without having to resort to organised crime,” he said, laughing with a deep rumble.
“Oh really?” Fernanda said, turning to face Toto in the inky moonlight, “Is he nice?”
“Very,” said Toto, dropping Fernanda’s hand and placing his hands on either side of her waist, swaying slightly in his merry state.
Laughing, Fernanda stretched up to look Toto in the eye, “I’ll have to meet this guy, he sounds great.”
At that their lips met, Toto bending down to plant a soft kiss on Fernanda’s lips, their height difference making it slightly a challenge but one that neither party seemed bothered by. As the kiss deepened, Toto began to run his hands down towards Fernanda’s perfectly rounded ass, squeezing gently as he found her curves.
Breaking apart for air, Fernanda glanced around, luckily there was no one in the empty street but she didn’t want to risk being caught making out in the street with a famous face and it being splashed across the tacky tabloids.
“Do you fancy a nightcap at mine?” she asked, looking up at Toto through her fluffy long lashes.
Toto’s eyes lit up, “Well, I have heard the view is nice.”
Fernanda laughed, grabbing Toto’s hand once again and leading him towards the corner entrance to her hotel. As they crossed the lobby she had a sudden panic that her friend Olivia was in their room, and as they made it into the elevator, sent a frantic text knowing her friends would still be awake, waiting for her post-date debrief.
Red alert, I’m bringing him back, please can you vacate?
Sure enough, the replies came back instantaneously.
Oh la la of course birthday girl!
Get it girl!
Knew it!!!!!
Smiling as Toto rested his hand on the small of her back in the elevator, Fernanda looked up at him before he once again swooped down to catch her lips with his.
The elevator dinged before things could get too heated but it didn’t stop Toto wrapping his arm tightly around Fernanda’s waist as the pair stumbled towards her room.
“Here we are,” she said, scrambling to find her keycard in her bag before popping open the door to unveil her suite. Thankfully her friends must have tidied for her as the detritus from getting ready for the evening was nowhere to be seen.
“Nice,” said Toto before bending down once again to continue kissing her, turning her around to face him as she closed the door. Pressing her against the wall with his leg, he continued to deepen the kiss, his hands starting to explore more of her body.
“As soon as I saw you I knew I had to have you,” he said, his lips resting against her ear, his deep Austrian accent rumbling.
Fernanda gulped, she never would have thought it but his voice roused something deep within. Her lips stretching up and finding the crevice of his neck, she replied in a low voice, “Then have me.”
Toto needed no invitation, scooping her up into his arms, he carried her over to the bed, throwing her down before leaning over and continuing to kiss her, his strong arms either side of her, pinning her down.
Emboldened by his eagerness, Fernanda wrapped her legs around his thick torso, pushing herself against him, not surprised to find a growing bulge. As he ground his hips into hers, he started to explore her curves with his large hands, ghosting her breasts and waist and reaching around to caress her ass once again.
Reaching up, Fernanda started to unbutton Toto’s shirt, exposing a surprisingly muscular frame. Impatient, he leaned up and divested himself of the shirt as well as the rest of his clothes, leaving him in nothing but boxers. Fernanda couldn’t help but smile at the view that greeted her as he once again lunged down to kiss her, this time, his hands making quick work of pulling her dress off, leaving her exposed in nothing but her lingerie and heels.
“You are ridiculous,” he said, his eyes hungry with desire, gazing into her eyes and gently kissing her neck.
“I could say the same about you,” replied Fernanda breathily, her back arching in pleasure as Toto kissed his way along her neck and across her collarbone.
Melting into each other’s arms, Fernanda began to grind back against his now prominent hardness, feeling herself getting more turned on by the second.
“Toto?” she asked, gasping for air, “Will you fuck me?”
Toto’s eyes lit up, “I thought you’d never ask.”
Smiling at each other, Toto reached down to unhook Fernanda’s bra, releasing her pert breasts, “Fuck, Fernanda.” he said, lifting his head to marvel at them, “Even better than I imagined.”
Fernanda blushed at his words, not used to such attention. Growing impatient she ghosted her hands down Toto’s abs, hooking her fingers into the waistband of his boxers.
“You’re an impatient little thing aren’t you?” he said, leaning back suddenly and hooking his arms underneath Fernanda’s legs, gripping her thighs and bringing her closer. “I want to taste you first.”
Gulping Fernanda leant back, allowing Toto to bring his mouth to where she needed it most. As his tongue lapped gently, he brought his hand along and began to stroke her clit, slowly but sensually.
It wasn’t long before Fernanda was writhing in pleasure, tugging Toto’s dark locks as he pumped a finger in and out, continuing to expertly lick.
“Toto, I want you in me,” she said, seeing stars as she was so close.
Pausing his ministrations, Toto was more than happy to oblige, kissing his way back up her torso as he replied, “I want to do everything with you.”
At that, Fernanda melted, the evening had turned into one that was beyond her wildest dreams. As Toto swiftly undressed them both, she gazed into his intense chocolate eyes as he began to line himself up, unsurprisingly intimidatingly big.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle,” he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead as he pushed in, slowly but surely. Gasping, Fernanda shifted as she adjusted to his size. True to his word, he took it easy and entered her tantalisingly slowly, an inch at a time.
“Fuck, Toto.” she said breathily, “You’re so big.”
Smiling, he pulled back out before pushing in once more, “Tell me if it’s too much.”
“Not at all, it feels good,” she said, feeling pleasantly stretched in places she’d never felt before.
“Good.” he said with a grin as he began to thrust in and out lazily, continuing to kiss her.
It wasn’t long before they were a tangled mess of arms and legs, both nearing completion. “Fuck, Toto, I am so close.” said Fernanda, her eyes rolling back in pleasure.
“Close isn’t good enough,” said Toto, smirking as he reached down and found her clit once again, his thumb circling gently as he continued to push in and out, speeding up.
“That feels so go…” Fernanda couldn’t even finish her sentence as Toto hit the sweet spot with expert precision.
“Fernanda…” was all Toto managed as he thrust in and out a few more times, chasing his own high before collapsing on top of Fernanda.
“Ooff.” said Fernanda, crushed by the weight of the muscular man on top of her.
“Sorry,” he said sheepishly, flashing her a shy grin as he rolled off to lie beside her.
“Well… that was not how I expected my birthday to turn out.” said Fernanda, feeling like she was in a dream.
Toto laughed, stretching a strong arm across her stomach to pull her in for a cuddle. “There’s still a few hours of your birthday left.”
Fernanda’s eyes widened once more. This was certainly a birthday to remember.

MC acts...different in their demon form
Surprise surprise, MC has their own personality and doesn't necessarily act like the brothers when they take on their demon forms. Sins manifest themselves in many different ways so who's to say MC is the same way as the brothers? To make it a little interesting, here's an MC who's avatar demon forms differ VERY much from the actual Avatars of Sin.
Taglist: @trashlord-007 @asmos-slut @simpinginthecorner @thatoneweebsworld @q-ueue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TW: Substance abuse in 4th and 7th part
Promiscuous Pride
Ok but MC giving Asmo vibes while rocking Lucifer's demon form is in my head rent free
MC who looks good and fucking KNOWS it
Morning Star Avatar of Pride MC has every right to show off and takes every chance they get
Not only is it an absolute slay but the reactions of the characters is what made me write this
Lucifer's in a tight spot cuz that's MC but it'S HIS FORM😡😮💨
Anti Lucifer League especially thinks it's hilarious because it makes Lucifer so uncomfortable and it makes up for MC not using THEIR form
Pompous Greed
Better believe MC shows off every bit of Mammon's power whenever they get the chance to
As smart as they are agile, with the power to control electricity, MC remains undefeated in this form only😎
Mix a bit of Medusa's stare and Midas' touch and you get the ability to turn any living thing into gold by just looking into their eyes
Everyone's jaw is on the floor including Mammon's
That's MC?? With Mammon's power????? low key scared shitless
The brothers are shook
Selfish Envy
Twitch streamer energy I'm sorry
I'd say they give a little Asmo too but mainly the Mammon energy comes out
Streaming mid battle, tiktok dances in the infirmary, really just not good ideas all around
That power tho👀👀👀 devastating
As long as there's water, you basically win
The ability to conjure up storms and hurricanes from a pond AND being able to control the temperature of said water
2 in 1 water and ice power Elsa wishes💅
Besides the display of incredible power, everyone pretty much sees no difference which makes Levi sob in a hole (how DARE they compare him to Mammon✋😔)
Unquenchable Wrath CHANGE
The only thing keeping Nightbringer Satan at bay is being inexplicably stoned (same tho😔💅)
My MC got pissed off after a battle, smoked the devil's lettuce(haha funny) and found ✨THE✨ coping skill
Clever and cunning as ever, this MC is definitely terrifying but most of the time just lacks the will to cause chaos
More often than not, someone has walked in on MC and Solomon just bullshitting with each other and dying of laughter when they were "supposed to meet at the arena 10 minutes ago honestly you should know be-"🙄
No fucks to give because if you lecture the embodiment of wrath for too long...well....👀
When Satan first saw MC lose it in his demon form he was embarrassed of them until he got his head out of his ass and realized "oh shit that me" and offered some of his coping skills for when the anger takes over🥺
Jealous Lust
This one's just a call out to everyone reading this including you and especially me for writing it
Don't get me wrong, this MC is a force to be reckoned with
Asmo's charm spell on top of the agility and strength it takes to swing around with chain swords is absolutely terrifying
Nothing to scoff at just cringe sometimes; at least 1 manga on hand at all times, frequent tumblr user, many things posted on AO3🫠
The brothers burst into the infirmary, MC is sobbing
Could feel the disappointment in the air when MC said their waifu/husbando kissed someone in the latest episode
Please touch some grass, Asmo is begging
Lethargic Gluttony
Right up there with Mammon's form as far as intimidation goes
This MC is definitely a glutton but not necessarily to food like Beel is (sex, substances, sleep, games, whatever)
Probably the most similar to their avatar counterpart compared to the rest of the brothers
Imagine having the ability to rain down a storm of hellfire and just not doing it because it's nap time (oh to be that unbothered✋)
MC does still have a few issues controlling their temper when the gluttony gets the better of them
If MC is in a demon form, Beel's might be one of the scariest, but it's definitely the most chill besides its appearance
Infuriated Sloth
In MC's defense, I would also be constantly enraged if I was always tired and forced to do hardcore anime training
Feral attic gremlin energy all over again, definitely takes some sort of stimulant to stay awake and smokes to unwind
The bad attitude mixed with the stimulants is giving nightbringer Satan on crack
Does the literal bare minimum simply because their weapon does most of the work
Not scary from looks alone but a pissed off MC using their Sloth form is deadly
If MC and Belphie were on bad terms before he worships the ground they walk on now (out of fear���)
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me headcanons#obey me worldbuilding#omswd#obeyme#obey me swd#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me levi#obey me satan#obey me asmodeus#obey me asmo#obey me beelzebub#obey me beel#obey me belphegor#obey me belphie

It's the final chapter!!! Let's get these kids married!!! Thank you all so much for coming along on our dream destination wedding adventure!!! We all hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed writing it!!

Under the cut, unless Tumblr ate it.
The next morning, Emma awoke in Killian's arms and smiled to herself. Long distance dating was the worst. She missed this most of all when they were apart - feeling his warmth and comfort envelop her as she slept and waking to his intoxicating scent.
It had been difficult to let her walls down, even with Killian, but having done so was so very satisfying, and it was quickly becoming clear that this thing was going to last. Despite the difficulties of a long distance relationship, it seemed that he was in this for the long haul, and so was she.
She nearly laughed in glee when she realized the thought no longer scared her. At all.
Sometime, sometime soon, they would have to figure this thing out. Long distance wasn’t a long term solution, and she wanted long term. More than she ever could have believed.
Impulsively, she leaned up on her elbows and kissed him softly. His lips ticked up in a gentle smile, and he breathed out her name before kissing her back.
Finally, he opened his eyes. “Morning, Love.”
“Morning,” she answered. “Sleep well?”
He nodded. “Always, when you’re with me. It’s a travesty that this wedding experience lasts only a week. I need more time with you. I always need more time with you.”
“Me too,” she assured him. Gradually over the past year, she’d gotten more comfortable not only admitting to herself how much Killlian meant to her, but admitting it to him as well. His eyes always lit up like the sun when she did so, and this morning was no exception.
“Maybe one day we won’t have this infernal distance between us,” he said, gently stroking her cheek.
“Oh, I hope not,” she agreed. “So what’s on the agenda for today?” she asked after a moment, as she lazily traced circles in his chest hair. “I know we don’t need to be up and at ‘em early, and that we have the rehearsal this afternoon, but that’s all I know.”
“I believe today’s schedule consists of various tasks to prepare for the wedding,” Killian said, “and then in the evening, if you’re agreeable, I have a proposition for you.”
“Yeah?” she asked. “What’s that?”
He reached for two tickets on his bedside table and presented them to her. “I bought us tickets to a sunset cruise this evening on the Georgia Queen riverboat in Savannah. We deserve a bit of alone time this weekend, aye?”
Emma sighed. “Killian, I’d love to,” she said, “really I would, but we have to be up to get ready for the wedding at the ass-crack of dawn tomorrow. If we’re out until who knows when after a sunset cruise, I’m going to be a zombie all day.”
“Please? For me?” he asked, giving her his look - the one she found both hot and adorable.
She didn’t stand a chance.
“Okay,” she agreed softly, “let’s go on a romantic sunset cruise tonight.”
Accordingly, as late afternoon approached, Emma found herself in her room in the cottage, after having shooed Killian out. She, Mary Margaret and Elsa all worked together to prepare her for her date. She felt like a teenager on her way to prom.
It was kind of ridiculous. She was going on a date with her boyfriend of a year. It really shouldn’t be this big of a deal, but when she’d told Elsa of her plans with Killian, her friend had gotten quite excited, insisting they go into the St. Simons Island shopping district to get a cute, light pink, calf-length dress and some nude slingback heels.
When they’d gotten back to the cottage, she’d commandeered Mary Margaret, who needed a break from last minute wedding details, to help with the hair and make up.
Looking in the mirror just before grabbing her clutch purse and heading out to meet Killian, Emma decided she looked pretty decent.
By his reaction, she looked far better than that.
“You look…” he said, uncharacteristically lost for words.
“I know,” she tossed back flirtatiously, as she walked past him and out the door.
They talked all the way to Savannah, the conversation flowing freely, as it always did between them. It was amazing to her just how easy and enjoyable it was to be with him. She didn’t just love him, he was one of her best friends in the world.
She wanted him with her. Always and forever. She vowed then and there that she’d find a way to make that a reality - soon.
Killian had purchased tickets to an unguided sunset dinner cruise. They dined on some truly delicious cuisine, accompanied by flutes of champagne, then stood on the deck as the sun went down, watching the beauty of the river and the city pass them by.
She’d just turned to Killian to comment on how beautiful it was tonight, only to find him on one knee on the deck, his hand outstretched, holding a small velvet box with a sparkling round diamond ring nestled inside.
Emma gasped, her hand moving to cover her mouth, and the tears coming to her eyes. “Killian, are you about to…”
“Emma,” he said, and she saw a tear shining in his eye as well, “I love you more than anyone or anything in this world. When we’re apart, it feels as though a vital part of me is missing. You are the best, most extraordinary, and most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and I am constantly amazed that you have chosen to be with me. Will you do me the greatest honor of my life and become my wife?”
Carefully, she got to her knees across from him and took his beloved face in her hands. She didn’t need to think, didn’t need to consider. There was only one answer she’d ever want to give. “Yes,” she said simply, as a single tear traced its way down her face. She leaned in and kissed him softly, as around her, the cheers of their fellow tourists rang out into the night sky.
~*~*~
The day of David and Mary Margaret’s wedding finally arrived, and both rental houses were buzzing with activity.
Upon returning to the cottage the evening before, the newly engaged couple found the common rooms empty, everyone seemingly already in bed. This worked to their advantage, because they had agreed on the way back that they wanted to keep their news a secret until after the wedding, not wishing to take away from Mary Margaret and David’s big day.
Just as Emma opened the door to their bedroom, Elsa came out of her own room with Liam on her heels. It was clear they’d been waiting for Emma and Killian to return from their date, and the look on both of their faces was one of hopeful anticipation.
“Well, brother?” Liam whispered.
Killian took Emma’s left hand and held it up for the other couple to see. Elsa pressed a hand over her mouth to stifle her squeal of excitement, and Liam clapped his brother on the shoulder, wearing a huge, beaming smile.
“Wait, they knew about it?” Emma asked.
“Please don’t be upset,” Elsa said, pulling Emma into a hug. “Killian needed help with some logistics, so he had to tell us.”
“What logistics?”
Elsa and Liam exchanged a glance with Killian. “You didn’t tell her about it?”
Emma looked at Killian, who just gave a small shrug.
“We better get to bed,” Liam said. “Busy day tomorrow, you know. Don’t stay up too late celebrating!”
He hugged Emma, kissing her forehead and telling her he was glad she agreed to marry his little brother. That garnered a groan from Killian, who was receiving an embrace from his sister-in-law.
Once they entered their room, Emma turned to Killian and ran her hands up his chest, her engagement ring sparkling in the dim light of the lamp. “So, about those logistics…”
“Well, we can’t very well be married while living hours away from each other, so I’ve made arrangements to move to Chicago. I accepted a job conducting boat tours with the same company as Liam, and he helped me secure an apartment.”
“Sounds like you were pretty sure I was going to accept your proposal,” she smirked. “And what happened to your brother wanting to have his own identity?”
“I didn’t want to give my plan away, so I had to come up with some sort of excuse,” he explained, pulling her closer to him. “You’re not upset with me, are you, Love?”
She brushed his lips with her own and assured him she wasn’t. They then proceeded to ignore Liam’s last bit of advice.
They were the last ones up the next morning. Emma reluctantly removed her diamond and placed it in the velvet box, then tucked it safely away, before taking a shower and joining in the excitement of the day.
The men were sent to the other cottage, while the larger one became the hub of bridal activity. Elsa took charge of the make-up and Regina made sure everyone’s attire was properly pressed and free of wrinkles. Belle and Ruby worked their magic on everyone’s hair, and Emma became Mary Margaret’s personal assistant, making sure she was hydrating properly, helping her put on her jewelry, and double checking the contents of her garment and tote bags to ensure she had everything she needed.
When everything was as prepared as possible, they loaded the vehicles and drove to the venue - Epworth by the Sea. Since it was going to be a small, intimate ceremony with their group of friends and immediate members of Mary Margaret and David’s families, it would be held in the Lovely Lane Chapel.
Final preparations took place at the venue itself, and when Mary Margaret finally slipped into her wedding gown and her friends saw her, they had tears in their eyes.
“Oh, Mary Margaret!” Belle exclaimed, moving to secure the veil in her hair. “You look absolutely radiant!”
“David is going to be speechless when he sees you,” Emma stated, sniffling a little and trying not to spoil her make-up.
Everyone nodded their agreement, while Mary Margaret checked her appearance in the mirror, turning this way and that to try to see her gown from every angle. “I hope so. I can hardly wait to see him waiting for me at the end of the aisle.”
“It won’t be long now,” Regina said, checking the time on her phone. “The music should be starting any minute.”
Elsa stepped forward to apply one last bit of lipstick to the bride, then they gathered around her in their bridesmaid dresses so Ruby could take a quick selfie of all of them.
They heard the strains of music from the string quartet begin and quickly picked up their bouquets. Soon there was a light tapping on the door. “Ladies?” Liam said. “Are you ready?”
Elsa hurried to the door and opened it a crack. “We are. How about all of you?”
“Aye, we’re all in place.”
She looked over her shoulder and gave a nod. “Time to go, everyone.”
They exited the room and moved to the steps outside the chapel. Ruby took her place at the front of the line, followed by Belle, Elsa, Regina, and Emma as the Maid-of-Honor. She turned to ask Mary Margaret if she was nervous.
“Not at all,” she answered. “David is my Prince Charming and I’m so very ready to be his wife.”
Emma squeezed her hand, then stepped in front of her.
“I’m here!” Roland announced, as he ran around the side of the chapel, waving a white ring bearer’s pillow. All of the ladies ‘awwed’ when they saw him in his little black tuxedo, complete with a light pink bow tie.
Emma positioned him between herself and Mary Margaret, then signaled to Ruby that they were ready. The processional music started, and the ushers opened the doors. Ruby lifted the skirt of her blush pink dress and ascended the steps. Will met her at the top to escort her down the aisle.
Mary Margaret considered having the established couples in the wedding party walk with each other, but since Emma was her Maid-of-Honor and Robin was David’s Best Man, she decided to mix them all up. Killian was Belle’s partner, Elsa walked with Graham, and Regina with Liam.
Before Robin stepped forward to offer Emma his arm, he quietly asked Roland, “Do you remember what to do?”
“Uh-huh,” the little boy assured him. “Follow you and smile for the camera man.”
Emma and Mary Margaret giggled at his answer, then Emma looped her free hand through Robin’s elbow. “Let’s see if we can do our job as well as he does.”
When they were all in place at the front of the chapel, Roland having utterly charmed everyone in attendance, the music swelled and Mary Margaret began making her way down the aisle. While all eyes were on the bride, Emma glanced at David and choked up at the look on his face. Tears shone in his eyes, and his lips were pressed tightly together. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, trying to control his emotions. It was easy to see how thoroughly smitten he was with the woman who was stepping closer to him, her face lit up with a smile as bright as sunshine.
When she finally reached him, he lightly grasped her elbows and leaned in to press a kiss to her lips. “You’re not supposed to do that until after the ceremony,” Pastor Lance, the officiant, said teasingly.
“Sorry. Couldn’t help myself,” David replied with a grin, completely unrepentant, his eyes still fixed on Mary Margaret.
The ceremony wasn’t long but was very reverent and meaningful. After the pastor declared them husband and wife, they shared their first official kiss as a married couple. The witnesses clapped and cheered as the newlyweds quickly made their way up the aisle, followed by their bridal party.
They went outside to form a receiving line, where Will started singing, “Bom, bom, bom, another one bites the dust!”
Ruby whacked him upside the head with her bouquet. “Knock it off, Scarlet. You’ll be biting the dust one day, too. Unless Belle wises up, that is.”
Will gave her a disgruntled look, brushing the stray petals off his shoulder, while everyone else laughed at the exchange. Then he turned and grinned at Belle, shrugging his shoulders. She giggled and threw him a kiss.
The outdoor reception took place under a large, open-air shelter. Prior to enjoying a delicious meal, Emma and Robin led all of the guests in a toast to the newlyweds. Liam did some creative switching to ensure Elsa had sparkling grape juice instead of champagne in her flute.
After dinner, the couple cut the wedding cake and fed the first piece to each other. Then the single women gathered for the tossing of the bouquet, jostling for position. The bride turned her back to them, counted to three, and flung the nosegay over her shoulder.
A small scuffle ensued, with Ruby nearly tackling Belle and several ladies diving to the floor. When the chaos was over, Emma held the prize aloft. Her eyes scanned the crowd until they landed on Killian, who was grinning proudly.
David made a show of using his teeth to remove the garter from Mary Margaret’s thigh, as she giggled and blushed. Then he paraded around, stretching it above his head as all the single men lined up. When he finally flipped it behind him, there was a mad scramble. Robin made a leaping swipe for it and missed, Graham was pushed aside by an overzealous cousin of David’s, and Will slipped on a wet spot on the floor, falling hard on his already bruised derriere.
When Killian emerged from the crowd, spinning the garter around his index finger victoriously, Emma ran to give him a hug.
“That means the two of you will be the next ones to get married!” Mary Margaret teased.
Emma and Killian looked at each other, eyes wide. A blush spread up her throat into her cheeks, while he nervously scratched behind his ear.
“Hang on,” Ruby cut in, looking back and forth between the two of them. “Why do you guys look so guilty?”
“We don’t,” Killian said quickly, but the crack in his voice betrayed him.
David folded his arms over his chest. “Alright, Jones. What’s going on?”
The couple in question locked eyes again, then Emma shrugged and nodded her head slightly. Killian cleared his throat, looking around at their friends, who were now surrounding them. Then he stood up straighter, draped his arm around Emma, and announced, “I asked Emma to marry me last night, and she said yes.”
The statement was met with an eruption of noise, everyone shouting congratulations and hugging both of them.
“And here I thought Elsa and Liam were the only ones keeping a secret!” Mary Margaret blurted out.
The noise instantly ceased and all eyes turned toward her. “What secret are they keeping?” Regina asked.
The rush of color into Mary Margaret’s cheeks was enhanced by the white of her gown. “Oh…well, I…I might have…I mean, it was an accident, but I…I heard them talking the other night about announcing something, then Elsa didn’t drink any alcohol at the bachelorette party and she’s been sleeping so much and I just kind of figured that she was…that they were…” The flood of words spilled out of her mouth, and everyone gaped at her. Then they turned to look at Elsa and Liam, who were standing slack-jawed.
“Is she sayin’ ya got a bun in the oven?” Will asked.
Elsa quickly composed herself, a soft smile spreading across her face. “This isn’t exactly how we planned to announce it, but yes. Liam and I are expecting a baby in February.”
Once again, the group broke into a happy chorus of well wishes and hugs, though this time, they were careful not to squeeze Elsa too tightly.
“What’s with all the secret keeping?” Graham asked.
“I don’t know about my brother and Emma, but Elsa and I didn’t want to take away from Mary Margaret and David’s big day,” Liam explained.
“Same for us,” Emma said. “We’re sorry if it did.”
“Are you kidding?” David said. “You just made our wedding day even better! Give us all the good news!”
“In that case,” Robin said, taking Regina’s hand to kiss the back of it, giving her a wink. “I asked Regina to move in with Roland and me.”
There was a pause as all eyes swung to the dark-haired beauty. “And I said yes,” she affirmed.
More jubilation erupted for several minutes and was just beginning to die away when they heard the announcement that it was time for the bride and groom’s first dance. Mary Margaret and David moved to the center of the floor and began to gently sway in small circles. Their family and friends watched happily as the couple shared numerous kisses and whispered words, as if they were the only two people in the world.
~*~*~
The celebration lasted until nearly midnight and the tight knit group of friends were there until the very end. Roland finally lost his battle to keep his eyes open after being on the dance floor most of the night and was lying across two chairs with his head in Regina’s lap, her fingers idly ruffling his dark curls. Elsa sat with her head on Liam’s shoulder, her eyes closed and her hand resting on her still flat belly.
After the final song of the night ended, Mary Margaret and David hugged everyone and bid them goodbye, then they were whisked away by a white limo to a private bungalow their wedding party had chipped in to rent them for their wedding night.
The other couples followed soon after, stumbling sleepily into their respective cottages, thankful they didn’t need to get up early the next day. Liam had spoken to the property manager and got their checkout time moved to two PM instead of the usual ten AM.
When Emma emerged from her room late the next morning in search of caffeine, she discovered Liam sitting on the front porch with his own mug of coffee.
“Where is everyone?” she yawned, sitting in the rocking chair next to the one he was in.
“Elsa’s still asleep, and I haven’t seen hide nor hair of Robin’s crew, or anyone from the other house. Where’s my brother?”
“Still sleeping. I needed coffee and something to eat.”
“There are some snacks on the counter, but on our way out of town, we’re planning to go eat at that place Belle mentioned after we went on the trolley tour.”
“Oh, yeah. Wasn’t it called Barbara Jean’s?”
“That sounds right. Robin wants to try their shrimp and grits, and Graham saw something called she-crab soup on the menu that sounded good to him.”
“I don’t care where we eat, just as long as we eat,” Emma said.
Liam chuckled. “I’m sure we’ll all be ready to eat by the time we get everything packed up to go.”
“Ugh. Don’t remind me. I dread that job.”
They were quiet for a few minutes, both sipping their coffee and rocking in their chairs, enjoying the peacefulness of the morning.
“It was a really nice wedding,” Emma commented at last.
“Aye,” Liam sighed. “I asked Elsa last night if she was upset that she didn’t get to have the whole big wedding experience. She assured me she wasn’t, but I still feel a little disappointed for her.”
“Don’t,” Emma said matter-of-factly. “When we used to sit around talking about our dream weddings, she always said she wanted something simple. None of us were surprised when she told us you two eloped.”
He nodded and gave her a slight smile. “What about you, Lass? What kind of wedding have you always dreamed of?”
She lifted one shoulder in a shrug. “I don’t want anything flashy, but Killian and I haven’t had a chance to talk about it yet, so I don’t know what he’s thinking.”
Liam took another sip and looked contemplative. “He won’t care as long as you’re happy.”
“He should have what he wants, too.”
Setting his mug down on the small table between their chairs, Liam turned to face her. “Emma, you could tell him you wanted to get married on an ice floe in Antarctica and he would agree to it. If I know my brother - and I do - he’ll want you to have your heart’s desire. He’s absolutely head over heels in love with you, and I couldn’t be happier. He might appear to be confident and self-assured, but he’s always been quite shy and reserved. All I’ve ever wanted is for him to be happy, and with you, he is.”
Emma’s eyelids fluttered and she looked down into her cup of coffee, considering what he said. “I never thought I’d meet a man as good as Killian, let alone have him fall in love with me.”
“I don’t understand why you thought that. You’re a very special lass.”
“Thank you, Liam,” she said quietly. “That means a lot coming from you.”
They sat in comfortable silence for several more minutes until they heard voices coming from inside. “Sounds like they’re finally waking up,” Liam commented, rising from his seat.
Emma drained the rest of her coffee and followed him into the house. Robin and Elsa were working together to unload the dishwasher.
Liam kissed his wife. “Good morning, Darling. How are you feeling?”
“Not bad, actually,” she answered. “I appreciated being able to sleep in.”
“You weren’t the only one,” Emma commented. “Killian is still asleep. I’m surprised you and Regina slept this late, Robin.”
“Ah, yes. Well, a certain young man climbed into bed with us in the middle of the night, and since he was up way past his bedtime, we thought it best not to disturb him until he woke up this morning. He gets rather irritable when he doesn’t get enough sleep.”
“I can’t imagine Roly Poly being irritable,” Elsa said.
“It doesn’t happen often, but it’s not a pleasant experience when it does, and we have a long car ride ahead of us.”
Emma wondered if Killian was awake yet and excused herself to check on him. Opening the bedroom door quietly, she saw that he was in the same position as when she left him nearly half-an-hour earlier. She sat on the edge of the mattress and skimmed her fingers up his bare arm. He twitched, but didn’t wake up. With a playful grin, she began placing small kisses across his shoulders and up his neck.
Soon, her tactics had the desired effect. He yawned and rolled onto his back, blinking blearily. “Morning, Love,” he mumbled. His low, gravelly voice sent pleasant shivers up her spine.
“Good morning, sleepyhead.”
A slow smile spread across his face. “Have you been up long?”
“Long enough to have a cup of coffee with your brother on the front porch.”
“Am I the last one up?”
“I haven’t seen Regina and Roland yet, or anyone from the other cottage.”
He stretched his arms over his head, then quickly wrapped them around her, pulling her against his chest.
“Don’t start anything,” she giggled. “We need to get packed up so we can go get something to eat.”
“So, you’re saying if it’s a choice between morning sex and food, you’d choose food?”
“Maybe,” she teased.
Her laughter rang out as he began rubbing his scruff against the sensitive skin of her throat.
~*~*~
It was another two hours until everyone was up, showered, packed, and the cars were loaded. They reluctantly bid their vacation cottages goodbye, then drove to the seafront, where they parked in the large lot close to the pier. The guide on their trolley tour had recommended Barbara Jean’s, a restaurant famous for their crab cakes and ‘easy Southern dining’.
Their mood was subdued as it was impossible to not think about the long drive back to their homes, and the impending separation for three of the couples, however brief it would be for Emma and Killian.
The message Mary Margaret and David sent to the group text wishing them a good morning and safe travels brought smiles to their faces, knowing their friends were now happily married and would be together in Pigeon Forge once their honeymoon was over.
After their delicious meals were consumed and the bills paid, the group of friends emerged onto the sidewalk, soaking up the warm sunshine before being cooped up in cars for many hours. They walked slowly to their vehicles, trying to postpone their separation as long as possible.
“Well, I guess this is the last time we’ll all be together until the trip next year,” Graham sighed, leaning against Liam’s car, while holding Ruby tightly.
“At least we’ll have some time with each other before you drop me and Belle off at the airport,” Ruby said, snuggling into his chest.
“Hey, we might live miles away from each other, but we manage to stay connected,” Will pointed out.
“Best friends always do,” Belle added, looping her arm through her boyfriend’s.
“And we do have a wedding to look forward to,” Elsa noted, smiling at Emma and Killian.
“Speaking of that, have you set a date?” Regina asked.
“We haven’t had time to discuss it yet,” Emma answered.
“Well, you’ll have over nine hours in the car today,” Liam said. “That should give you plenty of time to plan the entire wedding, reception, and honeymoon.”
The friends all laughed, exchanged hugs, and got into their respective vehicles, going their separate ways until they’d meet up again for next year’s destination dream wedding.
~*~*~
Notes:
The Georgia Queen was one of the riverboats we saw on the river in Savannah. We didn’t take a tour on it this time around though.
We didn’t intentionally go to Epworth by the Sea, but Jen and Marta drove through when Jen’s “Google woman” sent them off on the scenic route again. While it did add a bit of time to the drive to Krystal’s, it was a happy accident, as it was absolutely beautiful. Thanks, annoying Google woman who likes to prolong our car rides!
We also ate at Barbara Jean’s before heading to Savannah on our main day in that city. The food was delicious–including the she-crab soup that Marta ordered. We couldn’t resist having Graham place that particular order in the story for reasons that are probably apparent to anyone who knows Marta and her love of Graham. It didn’t make it into the story, but our waitress also gave us some fascinating Beauty and the Beast trivia.
And with that, the 2024 Girls’ Trip fic comes to a close! We hope you enjoyed our adventures told through our favorite characters’ destination wedding! See you next year for our (and their) next vacation!
~*~*~
Thank you again so much for reading and sharing! We'll see you next year!!!

k so before i hop in the shower. with the new princesses of heart in kh, we have four confirmed:
kairi again
rapunzel
elsa
anna
now we can just like. ASSUME that they’ll add moana and make her a princess of heart. that’s like a 99.999999% chance. also she already had a medal and costume in ux so yeah that’s happening. that’s 5!
we can also assume they’re gonna add tiana. cause why the fuck would they not??? that’s 6
we still got mèrida as an official DP but i like. don’t think she fits the vibe?? i feel like she’d be more like ariel, in the lineup but not a princess of heart or w/e
so we’re still missing one. here’s my thoughts on who could be princess of heart #7 in order of how fucking hilarious it would be
Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) – we’ve already seen her several times but now she has a promotion
Esmeralda (Hunchback of Notre Dame) – same reasoning as Sally
Kida Nedakh (Atlantis) – please
Giselle (Enchanted) – hyperrealistic amy adams
Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto) – she’s like “okay so like. i’m a special princess??” “yeah, i know it’s a lot to take in–” “and it’s NOT isabela?????” “...no?” “oh i am gonna rub this in her face forEVER”
alternate: it’s not mirabel OR isabela it’s luisa or dolores. just throw people off
Elena of Avalor – imagine them making a disney junior show canon
Raya (Raya and the Last Dragon) – she is literally the princess of a kingdom called Heart like come on
Sisu (Raya and the Last Dragon) – would track with the “pure of heart” thing ig. also imagine them just saying the comic relief is now the princess of heart
Namaari (Raya and the Last Dragon) – the princess of a kingdom that is NOT heart but also she has a big gay crush on the heart princess this would give her so many crises
Maid Marian (Robin Hood) – furry world
Roxanne – furry world AND we have to do an entire goofy movie plot
Naminé or Xion – would make me cry
Wendy (Peter Pan) – she’s finally one of the chosen ones
Jane (Peter Pan) – grabbed the wrong darling girl, hook, can you believe
Lilo or Nani (Lilo & Stitch) – whichever sister it would be it would be really funny to see how stressed nani gets over it
Kiara (The Lion King) – 1) from a direct-to-video sequel, 2) a fucking lion
Melody (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but her daughter is
Gabriela (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but this one-off breakout character from the tv show is
Boo (Monsters Inc) – she is literally two fucking years old
Penny (The Rescuers) – just this random baby from an obscure disney movie. jenny from oliver and company is also acceptable
Mei Lee (Turning Red) – the princesses of heart are all actual royalty except for this 13yo canadian girl from 2002 who can turn into a panda when she’s mad
Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron) – disney refuses to acknowledge this movie’s existence but then they put it in kingdom hearts and make it relevant to the story
Ortensia – imagine they finally get oswald into the main story and it’s bc his wife has magic heart powers and heartless wont leave them alone
Anastasia – disney finally delivers the killing blow on the “anastasia is not disney” crowd. sorry guys we bought 20th century fox she’s ours now lol
Sofia the First – come on. tell me it wouldnt be funny. come on
Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) – it would make so many people mad

📩 Simblr question of the day: Choose as many sims/ocs as you'd like for this question, What's something INCREDIBLY obscure and/or out-of-pocket about your sim/oc? Something that nobody (fellow sims and/or your followers and mutuals) knows 👀 (This could be things about their social skills, physicality and/or birth defects, or it could be something they vaguely remember, a dream they had that actually predicted the future, etc etc... whatever you come up with)
Oooooooh, I love this ask! I feel that I'll discover plenty of stuff about my characters 😃
---
In no specific order other than whatever pops into my mind first:
* The first "book" Jeb ever wrote was about twelve (short) sentences long, full of spelling & grammar errors, written in several colours in crayon, and called "Don't cry, mommy". He was eight.
* On a more happy note, Lukas and Max have been calling each other husband and wife since, when they were nine, Elsa "married" them during recess.
* Hugo & Mallory used to date, that's no secret. What is, is how they actually broke up (Hugo will kill me for telling this story). They had been dating for nearly two years, and never had sex (they did touch each other a bit before, though). After talking, and deciding they were both ready, they scheduled their first time. Hugo, the sweet boy he is, had even "studied" how to please his partner; he was determined to give Lory the best experience possible. And he did give her a good time. So good that Lory couldn't stop from moaning a name, but unfortunately it wasn't Hugo's, but Jacques's. And that's how Hugo discovered that his girlfriend had the hots for his father; worse, Lory was IN LOVE with Jacques. So, they broke up (and somehow remained friends).
*Strabismus is very common in the Landgraab family, especially among women. If you look closely to pics of them you'll notice that Clara, Sofia, Olivia, Teresa, and Joy have it to some degree. But not Nancy. That's because Queenie had her operated because she "had to be perfect".
* Willa got pregnant when she was sixteen, but she got an abortion because she wasn't ready to be a mom. Plus, the dad was a wanker who dumped her as soon as she told him he had knocked her up. She sometimes regrets her decision, as she wants plenty of kids (at least four), but she knows it was for the best. And she still has time.
* Mila owns a restaurant and has two Simichelin Stars. Hugo is her sous.
* I think I already said that Joy's mom was Holly Alto and that she died during childbirth. What I didn't say (I think), was that Holly was Malcolm's best friend (and regular "bed companion"), and that they only got married because Holly got pregnant. They loved each other but were never IN LOVE with each other.
* Jacques is a very enthusiastic and talented pussy-eater. Sorry, Lory took possession of me for an instant.
* Willa says that Mal is, too. THANK YOU, GIRLS, THAT'LL BE ENOUGH.
* Bj��rn and Nancy used to date in high school, but her parents were against their relationship (a heiress such as Nancy shouldn't marry someone from a "poor" family). So, she married Geoffrey who always had a massive crush on her; he was cute and from a good family, so why not? Clara who had always been sweet on her older sister's boyfriend, saw her chance to finally have the boy she wanted (her parents couldn't care less about what she did, she was just a spare after all). Somehow Björn accepted to date her and later asked her to marry him (a long time later, she would understand that it was to stay close to Nancy without seeming suspicious).
* Nancy was already pregnant with Johnny when Geoffrey and her married. Of course, Geoff knew he wasn't his, since he and Nancy hadn't had sex before their wedding night (though now one other than them - and Björn - knew that), but he loved Nancy and thought that their wedding would put an end to Nancy and Björn affair (which... nope).
---
Aaaaaand, I'll stop here because it's starting to be a tad long.

Fierce & Feisty Friday
Thank you so much to @annas-hair-donut for tagging me!!! 💕
Rules: Post a snippet from one of your fics (can be published or WIP) featuring a fierce and/or feisty character this Friday or next, then tag some people so they can share, too! (Feel free to use the banner if you want!)
In honor of Frozen Smut Week just around the corner, post a snippet from something you'll be posting that week!
This snippet is from a fic I'm writing for Day 2 of Frozen Smut Week - Ruby!!! The fic is called "Crescendo" and it's a modern, pair skating au. After being dumped by her boyfriend and skating partner, Anna is forced to settle for Kristoff, a non-competitive figure skater slash former hockey player. They get off to a rough start, as Anna is still hung up on being dumped in spite of the instant attraction she has for Kristoff.
In this scene, Elsa and Honeymaren try to convince Anna to give Kristoff a chance.
⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️
“Deep breath,” Maren commanded, as Elsa handed Anna her water bottle.
Anna took a long drink, her chest heaving as she pulled the bottle away from her lips. Breathlessly, she muttered, “I don’t think I can do this.”
“Give the guy a chance,” Elsa pleaded, exchanging a quick look with Maren. “It’s only day three.”
“And? It’s like he’s afraid to touch me! You saw with your own eyes that he almost dropped me on a group two lift. Group two! We need a group five lift for our short program - how are we going to get up to a group five if he can’t confidently execute a group two?”
“What do you want to do, then?”
“What do you mean, ‘what do you want to do, then?’” Anna asked, raising an eyebrow.
“You don’t have much in the way of choice here, Anna. If you don’t want to work with him, then you’ll have no choice but to quit. You know how difficult it is to find a male partner for pairs skating, and with competition season quickly approaching, the odds of someone else becoming available are slim to none.”
“Maybe I don’t have to quit. Maybe if I practice enough on my own over the next few weeks, I'll qualify for the women’s singles category instead.”
“You’ve been pairs skating since you were eleven years old,” Elsa countered. “Do you really want to try something completely new to you?”
“Well -”
“Besides, Kristoff seems like a really nice guy,” the blonde added. “I feel like he may surprise you if you just give him a chance.”
“I agree with Elsa,” Maren piped up. “He’s out of his element - this is his first time working with a partner, and there’s a steep learning curve to it. You know that.”
“And he was available at such short notice. That alone should earn him a couple of brownie points.”
Anna crossed her arms over her chest, her cheeks burning as she glared at the two women. “Will you two please stop ganging up on me?”
⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️
Please keep in mind that this snippet may be edited/changed slightly in the actual fic, as it's in need of some editing. For some background, a "group two lift" in pairs skating is a lift where the male partner lifts the female partner by the waist, and it is not typically seen in elite skating competitions. A "group five lift" is a much more complicated lift, and gains a lot of points if executed well during competitions. It starts with the pair holding hands to push off, and then the male partner has to lift the female partner over his head using only their collective arm strength. There are a few variations of poses once the female partner is in the air. Please forgive me if I messed up the skating lingo in the fic/here - I am not a professional ice skater and this is just my understanding of how this stuff works lol.
The full fic will be posted on March 26th for Frozen Smut Week!

So not to be a disney stan or something buuuuuuut, I was rewatching Frozen and it's still such a good movie however there is one thing I wished was different. I wished Hans wasn't a twist villain but a victim as well. Here me out.
Kristoff is not a bad character far from it but well let's face it he's boring, he has no story or characteristics outside of Anna. Who were his parents? Why didn't the other men go looking for him? Does he not remember being kidnapped? We don't know, meanwhile Hans has a far more interesting narrative, youngest of 13 (an unlucky number) neglected by his parents and even outright ignored by some brothers for years. That is deeply scarring and traumatizing, so instead imagine Hans is desperate to prove his worth and people who will accept him. So he's on the hunt to marry into a royal family possibly for an alliance but also to fill the void of empty love in his heart.
This lines up perfectly with Anna, who was unintentionally neglected by her parents, ignored by her sister, and left alone for most of her life. So when they meet both are so desperate for companionship and love they delude themselves into thinking they're living out their own fairytale falling instantly in love and getting married would solve all their problems when really their trauma is blinding them and are trying to heal those scars with a very bad solution.
I think Kristoff would work better as an older father figure since Anna, Elsa, and Hans are just a bunch of young traumatized adults with no one to turn to for reassurance or stability and Kristoff is say between 40-60 as a surrogate dad to them all which is way more interesting than being the "better" love interest.
So throughout the movie while Anna is going to Elsa Hans is running the kingdom but he's doing so to prove to Elsa that he's capable, he'd make a good husband and be a perfect member of the family. He's reliable! He's trustworthy! If the queen gave him a chance he'd never disappoint her and treat Anna so well!
So when Anna comes back slowly freezing they both still believe they're in love except when the kiss happens Anna is so cold she passes out and her breathing is so shallow Hans think she literally just died in his arms. So when he goes out to kill Els it's not to steal her kingdom but to avenge his beloved and kill the monster before she hurts anyone else.
After Anna performs her act of true love Hans is on his knees begging for forgiveness he sincerely thought Elsa killed her and he'd never do anything to harm either of the sisters and please don't send him away he'll be good just give him another chance! Anna has now learned a bit more about love and forgives Hans, they talk and agree they're probably not in love, but they definitely like each other, and maybe somethings there. So Hans stays as the official ambassador of the Southern Isles who becomes Arendalle's new trading partner and from there they embark on a real relationship that turns into true love.
Also I'd personally make them all teens so Elsa's coronation happens months after her parents died, so we have one traumatized anxious 18 year old about to be queen and now sole guardian of her sister, a socially awkward nervous 15 year old whose newly orphaned and only has her estranged sister for family, an another stressed and traumatized 18 year old trying to find his place in the world since his family clearly doesn't care if he's there or not. And Kristoff becomes their dad because god they need a stable adult around.
TL;DR Kristoff is boring and Anna and Hans are the more interesting g and superior couple thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Hans as a twist villain will always be the face of Disney's shit attempts at making twist villains.

Diamond In The Rough Ch12 The Battle Tower
"An invite to a tournament held by Leon?"
"Uh huh. That's right. He jus' mailed it to me an' in his letter asked me to give you yours. MA and my lil sibs already all got one."
After seeing it was from Leon his curiosity peeked and he went ahead and opened his own letter reading the contents over before he decided to come and find you to give you the good news, and the copy of the invite Leon had included in the envelope with specific instructions asking him to deliver them to you. Of course he obliged, it also gave him an excuse to see his diamond in the rough. He smiled holding out the second invite to you knowing you'd want to have it as soon as possible, so he came right to your dorm room to hand it over. you took the invite from him blinking down at it.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. I kinda already read through mine. There's gonna be some battle events and a party afterwards. All the gym leaders and their extended families are invited."... blue eyes smiled a bit wider at you. "Plus we each get to pick out a plus one as a date to the party. So I figured I'd ask my beautiful girlfriend for that honor.~"
You gave him a look raising a brow. "I-..Dunno if I'd be able to go Gordie."
And he seemed surprised. "Huh? But why?! Ya got a personal invite from Lee."
"Because I'm in college right now!" You gestured to your dorm room. "And this is taking place next month. Even without Christmas break, I'd still miss a few days of class. I don't know if they'd let me miss any days, and what if I start falling behind-"
"So you don't wanna go?"
"I DO!", you practically yelled making him blink back a bit, "I'd love to go with you! And I'd love to see all my friends again! But..I don't KNOW if the school would LET me go..And I wouldn't have anyone to take care of my pokemon while I'm gone."
Gordie fell silent for a moment ...before he again smiled and grabbed your shoulders gently, "Hey. Don't worry 'bout anythin'! I'm gonna talk to the dean and GET you that time off!"
"Really!? You'd do that for me!?"
"Absolutely! I'm not goin' if you can't come with me!" A small mightyena with a toy in his mouth walked past the both of you catching his attention, "And-...And-.." He blinked back to it surprised...before slowly pointing at it. "What is..that!?"
"Hm?" You turned your head. "Oh! That's Night. He's my new mightyena Cerberus kidnapped from Emerald."
He just looked back at you. "He's your new wot kidnapped by who from where!?"
-Small Time Skip-
"Tell me what's going on again there," he said while folding a shirt to put into the almost stuffed suitcase.
Elsa, who was helping her brothers packed, sighed. "We're invited to Wyndon's first ever Battle Of The Leaders Tournament to show the world Galar's strongest pokemon trainers. It's in honor of Prince Lear from the Pasio Region."
"Ah, right." He continued fumbling to fold the shirt back and place it back down. "And that's Who again?"
"The special guest that we need to impress. He's coming all the way from Pasio to pick n' chose who gets a chance to compete in the Pasio Region's Masters League with other Gym leaders, trainers, and people from all over the world. It's a big deal that the Chairwoman thinks will help Galar's reputation back on track."
He nodded. "So what's the main events we're doing there anyways?"
"The Battle Tower event's first! And that's where I'M gonna star in!," She proudly explained holding up something made of paper towards him. "Lee sent you all the details in the letter if you just want to read it yourself."
"Elsa please."
"*sigh* Basically the battle tower is goin' to be for all the new pupils the gym leaders have taken on, myself included. We're going to battle our way up Rose Tower until there's only one last person standing, and that person's going to have the chance to battle Mr. Leon himself. And that person's gonna be me! I'm trained by Ma after all and she's the strongest Gym Leader!"
"M' sure you will! And what's the second one?"
"Dunno. It only says that one's staying a surprise until we get there but there's gonna be a couple guests battlers joining us for whatever it is," Sebastian said adjusting his glasses.
"Sweet! I can't wait to see 'em. Battling a Prince is a once in a lifetime opportunity."
A month passed by within a blink of an eye and soon it was time to go. Gordie had a rather long talk with the dean and convinced him it was a good idea to let you go on the promise you'd make up classes later, and the local pokemon daycare agreed to house your pokemon until you got back after he also had a chat with them. You were so happy when he was able to deliver the good news, which lead to now. People were lining in the streets and sidewalks near the exit to Hammerlocke to see them off. It brought a smile to his face. The flying taxies Leon had called in advance to tell them that would be their transport was there, and when he got there, you were already there backpack thrown over your shoulder and Silver at your heels. Oh. So he guessed you were still bringing along your main pokemon. He would not let you go by yourself it seemed as the little drizzlie literally clung to your leg like a toddler not caring if he embarrassed you. You were staring at the flying taxies with an uncomfortable look but when the sounds of cheering from the crowd picked up you turned your head and smiled upon seeing the Gordie along with his mother and siblings walking towards you.
"Hey! Gordie," you greeted with a wave and smile. Ba-bump. Oh..Arceus. He could feel his own cheeks light up a bright pink at her beautiful smile. He came to a stop in front of you followed by the triplets stopping beside him. "I thought you guys weren't going to make it. I was waiting here for a bit and then this.." You gave the taxi another unenthusiastic look. "..ride showed up."
''Didn't Lee tell you in the letter that'd we'd be going by taxi?", he asked raising a brow.
You nodded. "Yeah..I'm not too fond of flying. Why is it always flying?"
"Well if we wanna get there on time we've got ta take the fastest transport ta get there." He gave a look back up to the giant corviknight and it's driver perched high and mighty above the sturdy metal taxi cabin. "And this is it. We'll be there in no time."
You groaned but nodded. "Yeah. I guess so. But I don't understand why we couldn't just take the train! Wyndon has a train station!"
"Well that would've taken us a lot longer ta get there then if we did, and it'd be rude to refuse the taxi when the driver was already paid for in advance to get us. Don't you think?"
He could almost chuckle when you groaned and let your arms flop to the sides. But since you wanted to go, and you felt obligated being formally invited by the Champion and Chairwoman, you would have to travel with Gordie and his brothers inside the flying taxi, while Melony and Elsa rose in the other since there wasn't enough room for all of you in the taxi. Needless to say you had sadly gotten used to this kind of travel even if you didn't like it. The trip over there was a blur to Gordie. He remembered the cheers the crowd had given you all as you stepped into the taxi, him letting you go first followed by his little brothers. Ladies first as they say, and waving to the crowd, before he himself sat on the seat, next to you, and watched as you gripped the seat with one hand and on instinct grabbed his hand with the other just before he gave the taxi driver the go ahead to take off and the lunge into the air made you grip tighter despite you had buckled yourself in. The mighty strength of the corviknight easily taking off into the air and thus the traveling began. With you sitting next to him. Things weren't as bad on the trip to Wyndon as he thought it'd be. It was silence for a bit and the triplets talked almost non stop about how excited they were to see their big brother, and big sister, and mother compete and possibly battle against Leon himself. And it was...easy. You smiled at him like there was nothing awkward between you two and you both chattered about anything and everything like old friends and it gave you a good chance to chat with his brothers more and get to know the. And you found it easy to talk to them about as much as him. It was nice to get to know them. Gordie however watched with a soft expression seeing you and the kids get along as one day turned to two and two turned into three and so on. It was..nice seeing someone he liked getting along so well with his family. The easy going atmosphere helped to calm him but he still turned a shade of light pink whenever you leaned against him in your sleep at night, making him give some soft smiles at you-...And then he'd get angry again at the constant teasing that'd follow from his brothers. On your way to Wyndon you all sometimes stopped at small towns to recharge for the night or restock on supplies before continuing onward. Until the day arrived. It was early in the morning that you were woken up by someone shaking your shoulder and with a snort you woke up with a groggy look blinking towards Gordie who just smiled and pointed out the window.
"Look. We're here."
Blurry eyed you turned to the window. The sun was just starting to come over the sky so it was still fairly dark, and down below you could see the world lit up in lights and that's when you all saw it. You all looked out at the sight of a GIANT brick wall going as far as the eye could see. The horizon blocked off my what must've been hundreds of skyscrapers and Rose Tower. From your place, you could see all the shiny buildings lit up in the early morning light making it look almost heavenly. It was beautiful. Your smile widened and eyes lit up immediately reflecting all the pretty lights like stars in a mirror. It made Gordie mesmerized just looking at that beautiful scene in your beautiful eyes-
"So where are we landing? Not just somewhere in the middle of the city I hope."
"What- OH! *ahem* Lee said everyone's meeting at the Rose of Rondelands and to wait for him there. Something about wanting go over everything with us before the Battle Tower two days from now, and whatever else he has planned. We can check in our luggage and take a small break from flying since you don't like it too much."
"That sounds like a good idea," you agreed.
"And then Gordie can take ya on a romantic walk or somethin'.~," one of his little brothers teased making the other two triplets giggle and Gordie snapped a red face towards the trio.
"Oi! Be quiet!"
After another rough landing ensued when you all descended through the air and ended up landing right in front of the giant famous hot in Wyndon and you all piled out leaving the taxi behind. Felt good to stretch your legs. And you looked up and up at the tall building that shadow loomed over you. Ah. This brings back memories. Good thing the invite said all the rooms would be paid for in advance. Couldn't imagine how much one of these much costs. But what really caught your attention was the giant crowd gathered in front of the hotel, you didn't see them until you stepped out of the flying taxi and onto the ground..And then the large amount of cheers filled the air. One look behind you told you where it was coming from. People. What must've been hundreds upon hundreds of people backed up against each other at the front of the Rose of Rondelands, blocked by barriers and police officers much like last year when the Champion Cup took place at the stadium. You were steered away by Gordie who shooed you after his mother and soblings towards the hotel's entrance and all six of you entered. The shimmering gold interiors shining brightly again like you had remembered and there was an even bigger surprise waiting for you inside because when you walked the six of you were met with yet again another sight. A few chairs for lounging and sitting in fancy armchairs and couches were set up. A whole long table was set up with delicious looking food that your f/c eyes laser focused on and made your stomach growl just seeing it everyone was eating from. Immediately the triplets ran towards the table of food with Silver and Elsa was right after them hungry from the trip. But...there was no one else in sight.
"Huh..Where's everyone else?," you asked.
Melony only hummed her answer. "..I guess we must be the first ones here. It is pretty early in the morning. We should just relax and wait for the others. You children look thin anyways, go get yourselves something to eat."
Whelp. Couldn't argue with that. You all got yourselves something to eat, and slowly more people started to arrive. The first being Raihan and his trainers. Upon first seeing Gordie, Dragon Boy smiled and waved at him.
"Hey, Gordie! What's up, Bro? Ms. Melony, you're looking as lovely as always."
"So the Tamer of Dragons has arrived," Gordie said with a smile. "And here I thought you wouldn't make it."
"Psh. You know I wouldn't miss this for the world. Where's everyone else?''
"You're early. No one else arrived yet. You're gonna have to wait."
Raihan blinked. "Really?" Gordie nodded and he hummed. "Well I wasn't expecting that, but hey! That just means we just gotta wait for a little while. Now would be a good time to eat too." He said eyeing the food table. "Those waffles look pretty good."
The triplets were way ahead of him, already swarming towards the tables like a pack of hungry munchlaxes. You just rolled your eyes and ended up chatting with Melony as you waited for everyone else to arrive. Slowly they all appeared one after the other. Kabu, Nessa, Milo, Bea, etc. Until it seemed like the only one you were all waiting for was Leon. And then someone else did arrive. A few somebodies actually but they weren't Leon. Because Leon wouldn't have nearly tackled you to the floor or shouted your name. A flurry of 'Y/N!' flew through the air and before you could even turn around three small things tackled you one after another and you tilted backwards. Your backpack falling to the ground and your arms coming out on instinct to help keep your balance as Silver chirped in surprise. You blinked and looked down at yourself at the clinging creatures attached to you.
"What the-"
"Y/N!" A familiar voice and face beamed up at you and you stared at her smiling face until it suddenly clicked.
"GLORIA!?" Your voice happily shouted as your mouth forced itself up in a smile before noticing the other two right next to her. "Victor! Hop!" It was them. The original trio. And they were all here again. You hadn't seen them in forever! "Where have you guys been!?"
"Do you mean outside or in general?," Victor asked raising a brow. "If ye mean jus' now, Hop wanted ta show us his wooloo's new evolution. If ya mean anywhere else...Eh. It's a long story we need ta share with ya later." He sighed before rubbing his face. "Let's just say a LOT has happened with our training."
You chuckled and slowly got the three to release you from their hug. "I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of time to tell me what happened since we're still waiting for Leon-"
You yelped when Gloria tugged your hand to the side. "I've gotta tell ye what happened at the Isle of Armor! You'll neva beleive it!"
You were dragged by the trio back over to the sofa and made to sit down. Once you sat down on the couch, you were bombarded with tales of what they were up to. Hard to follow along ultimately what came down to it was that Gloria had one heck of a hard time being trained by whoever this Mustard character was before returning. Which including plenty of push ups, made to battle in front of a crowd of other students, chasing slowpokes, mushroom and diglett hunting, finishing her pokedex journal, her new rivals, being gifted more pokemon-
"An' then Hop dropped by to surprise me n' we went out ta find this honey for Urshifu," Gloria continued babbling along happily and a record scratch went off in your mind.
"Wha- Wait, wait, wait. Stop." They looked at you and between holding your plate of food, pointed at her. "Hop was there?" Gloria nodded. "...How? I thought he was training with Sonia to become a Professor?"
Gloria turned to Hop who coughed and reached a hand up to rub his neck pink tinting his cheeks. "S-Sonia and I split up places to survey. And she opted for the cold and snow and all. The Isle of Armor was t-t-the only other option." You weren't totally believing that based off his bashful reaction but you'd let him have it. "I-It was great to see Glory again tho. I had lots of fun until we both caught a ride back here with Lee when he delivered some invites to some people on the island."
Gloria giggled and poked Hop playfully. "Ya shoulda seen this cute lil petilil grab a hold 'o 'em. Hehe. It was so cute! The wee babe wouldn't let go of him until we found it's mother." Hop quickly flushed a deeper red at her words.
"What were you doing on the Isle of Armor anyways?"
"Huh? OH! *ahem* I-I was taking some samples of different pokemon nector f-for Sonia," he explained with a stutter, "A-And some max mushrooms and m-max honey so w-we can study it's connections to dynamaxing."
"Oh." That certainly sounded like something Sonia would have him do. "You said you came back with Leon right? Where's he?"
...He shook his head. "Dunno. He dropped us both off here a while ago and said to wait for Sonia and Kabu to arrive. Y'know since we're kinda studying under them and all that."
Ah. You supposed Leon was still preparing everything else that needed to be prepared before these special events happened. Made sense you supposed. In the mean time you were having fun eating the absolutely delicious food and listen to the three's adventures in the Crown Tundra and on the Isle of Armor. Victor was proud to show you his pictures of the ancient pokemon and Reggie-pokemon shrines and the giant tree he had discovered while there mentioning them to Leon who mentioned it to the Chairwoman and lo and behold...Victor had unintentionally saved the Town of Crown Tundra from dwindling away by giving the Chairwoman chances to set up tourist attractions for the locals to sell galarian twig crowns and sweaters. That's Victor for you. His determination for preserving nature one way or another came through again. Nessa was sure proud of her pupil's accomplishments. ...In fact..Both twins seemed to be fairing..MUCH better than before. Gloria didn't seem to be bothered all that much anymore by the thought of battling in front of a large crowd, and Victor seemed confident enough in his battling skills to give it a try himself.
....But that also brought other questions.
You know Gloria trained under a Mr. Mustard who trained her up before she continued being trained under Kabu, so who helped Victor? Well you asked and he told you who it was. Nessa of course since she was training with him constantly since they got back, but there was someone else. A man who sent Victor on a couple fun adventures and helped him build confidence in himself through having fun like he never had before. Going on Dynamax Adventures in a place called the Max Lair-
"Hey! I know that place!," Hop piped up as soon as Victor mentioned it, "It's like a maze of underground tunnels under the tundra that's just chalk FULL of natural dynamax particles! Sonia was checking it out for the Chairwoman along with some other things. Sometimes you can find rare pokemon in there. They think it'll be a huge hit for the Special Guests we got over here...Whoever he is?"
Yeah. You were wondering that too. You knew there would be some special guests but you didn't know who. The time passed some more until FINALLY the man of the hour arrived. You were all sitting there as Champion Leon himself walked in through the door with an older woman beside him. A flurry of 'Leon!' left a couple peoples' mouths and your face lit up in a smile as he arrived.
"Leon! Where have you been?!"
"S-Sorry everyone," he apologized giving a guilty look and holding up his hand. "I uh...Kinda got lost on my way here. Luckily I ran into the Chairwoman on the way here. Speaking of which." He gestured to the woman next to him who you all know gazed at. She looked around Kabu's age with grey hair and wearing a blue business suit. She was smaller than Leon too, about Nessa's height. "Allow me to introduce Ms. Dahlia. The Chairwoman of Galar and the creator of the games that'll be taking place."
"Welcome Everyone," she greeted with a smile and nod. "I want to thank you all for coming and on such short notice. I'm well aware you all must be wondering what I had Leon call you all here for." She said gesturing to everyone. "Some information you were already given in your invitations such as the first event, but the more important bits I wanted to save until I was able to speak to you all face to face." She began gesturing with her hands. "As many of you are aware the Battle Tower will be taking place the day after tomorrow at Rose tower. The lucky gym leader in training that wins will have the honor of battling against the Champion himself at the top of the tower. That trainer and their three runner ups will also be allowed to perform along with others in the final grand tournament."
"Um..Yes. About that. Forgive me if sound a little rude here, but what exactly IS this whole second half is?," Bede asked raising a brow, "I believe we have the right to know considering we'll be a very important part of it I'm assuming."
The Chairwoman nodded. "Yes. You'd be right about that. That is the thing I wanted to dicuss most. All of you are here to battle it out in the first ever Galarian Star Tournament for none other than Price Lear of the Pasio Region in hopes he'll chose some of Galar's finest trainers to compete in Pasio's own Master League and get a chance to take home the title of world's strongest pokemon trainer." By the surprised looks and raised brows she got, that certainly was a surprised. She held up her hands. "I know it must be a shock to receive such news so late, but I assure you I didn't plan this. Prince Lear will be arriving tomorrow morning if nothing goes wrong, and the day after will be the Battle Tower. And then at the end of the week, the Galarian Star Tournament shall take place with everyone here as well as a few honored guests that will fighting alongside you and afterwards They shall be arriving later this week closer to the second event. I expect all of you to be on your best behavior during Prince Lear's stay with us. For now you all are dismissed back to your rooms until then. Be sure to arrive at Rose Tower first thing in the morning. We'll have much to discuss then."
And that was it. More words were exchanged by the Chairwoman and Leon but most were words of encouragement before they departed again and you all were dismissed. With nothing further to do you all went back to your rooms for the night bidding everyone good bye. The first thing you did was faceplant face first into the soft bed when you got back inside. It was nice to lay on a bed for once instead of a taxi seat.
-Small Time Skip-
The time had come.
Two days had gone past in a blink of an eye and by the second day you had woken up early because of the commotion going on outside your room forcing you to get up and get dressed before walking out the door only to nearly bump into Ms. Opal as she was passing your room towards the elevator along with everyone else. So you apologized before scooting to the side and following the crowd of gym leaders to the elevator, down to the lobby, out the front of the hotel, and out towards your rides there-..And you groaned. Flying taxies. Why was it ALWAYS flying taxies? There was at least somewhere between eight to ten of them. Enough to take everyone to Rose Tower. And you could BARELY hear over the noise. LOTS more people than there were yesterday. All cheering and holding up signs with different gym logos or peoples' faces on them all showing their support for their favorite gym leaders. You had to grab Silver and carrying him in your arms in order to keep the drizzlie from keeping trampled and ended up climbing into the last taxi before it could take off...Blinking when four people were already sat down inside. It looked a little cramped-
"Y/n! Here. Ye can seat by me. There should be 'nough room if I scoot over some."
And that's how you ended up sitting between the taxi wall and Victor with Silver on your lap. Next to Victor's other side was Nessa and across from all three of you was Kabu and Gloria. Both twins with both their mentors with opposite elements but both fit the twins personalities. Gloria's fiery spirit and Victor flowing patience. Looked right they were already ready to do battle as well. Gloria wore an all red shirt with Kabu's logo on the front with the rest of her attire matching and the same with Victor wearing Nessa's gym logo and wearing a matching outfit of blue and white. And it was then that it hit you. Gloria and Victor were both gym leaders in training now. That by itself wasn't a bad thing but now..they were going to be battling against one another in the Battle Tower. Victor and Gloria had never battled against one another before not when you were with them and they must've realized at one point but neither of them seemed to give it much mind as the two siblings just sat there smiling and chatting away excited like nothing was wrong as you sat there frozen with Silver on your lap. The whole ride there wasn't anything special except when you all arrived and got out of the taxi there were more blockaids and police to control the cheering crowds and a reporter woman who was speaking to a camera pointed directly at all the gym leaders and Rose Tower itself. You stood there for a moment looking around before spotting the twins start to walk towards the Rose Tower and you went to start following them- Someone tapped your shoulder and with a jolt you snapped around to Kabu who shook his head.
"Not there," he clarified to you raising his voice to let you hear you over the large crowd cheering and instead pointing towards other gym leaders and everyone else who was walking towards a different entrance into the building. "That is only for the children who'll be participating in this event. You and I must go that way."
"Oh..Ok! Thanks!"
The older man nodded before turning around and jogging off towards the other entrance and you followed still carrying a bored looking Silver. How was he able to keep up a pace like that so easily? Once inside you were greeted to the same lobby like room you first saw when storming Rose Tower to find Leon last year. Only this time chairs had been set up alongside a giant TV on the wall, obviously for everyone to watch the speckacle and as you looked around you noticed something. There was an extremely fancy wooden chair away from the plastic ones almost as if it was a throne for someone important. That was odd. Was that for Leon? You had seen him and the Chairwoman greet everyone at the hotel before coming here so maybe. Silver had spotted something amiss and his pink hand collided with your cheek. Blinking you threw a scowl at the pokemon in your arms before he chirped and pointed over at something..Or should I say someone. A FEW someones in fact because you blinked at them. There was Leon and the Chairwoman...and three other NEW people that you had never seen before. But the two of them were smiling and introducing these three to everyone as they walked in and sat down. There were two bodyguard like people. A man and woman. The woman was about Nessa's height with dark purpel hair that was in a spiral pigtail haircut and purple-magenta eyes. She wore a giant pair of square sunglasses on her head, grey coat with very long sleeves, and red and black attire underneath. The man was much taller than both the woman and other shorter man in front of them with dark grey eyes. He wore a grey-white suit with a black undershirt and red tie, gold rings on his fingers, and a pair of black sunglasses sat upon his own head. But it was the third person in front of them that seemed the most important. He wore a suit similar to the first man but more fancy looking. Grey-white all the way from his shoes to the silk gloves he wore with a black undershirt and red tie. His grey-white coat had a black fur collar and red sunglasses were over his eyes so you couldn't tell what color they were but he did have grey-white hair matching his suit. He stood by Leon with his presumed bodyguards at his sides as the Champion smiled and introduced him to everyone. This stranger's expression neutral. Kabu bowed in front of him as you slowly walked in.
"It is an honor to be able to have you in Galar, Your Highness," the older man greeted with a deep bow.
"Very charmed," the man replied back in also a neutral tone. Neither happy or bored but it was enough to also not come off as rude either.
"I think that's everyone. The only ones you haven't met are the gym leaders successor's who'll you'll be able to watch from here." The man hummed at Leon's words. You slowly walked forward and Leon turned his friendly gaze to you, lit up, and waved his hand in a 'come here' motion. "Hey! Y/n! Right on time." The man next to Leon turned to you, did a double take, and raised his brows staring at the pokemon cradled in your arms like a child as you walked over. "Just the person I wanna see." Once you stopped right in front of him his hand gestured to the man beside him again. "I'm glad you can make it. Y/n, it's my pleasure to introduce you to his highness, Prince Lear. He's come all the way from the Pasio Region for the events." His smile became even wider. "He's also asked to meet you personally."
"He...did?" You stared at the new man in front of you blinking. So he was a prince huh? You remembered the Chairwoman mentioning a Prince Lear coming two days ago, and this man could certainly pass off for a prince easily even if he didn't wear a crown. But he asked to see YOU? Why? You didn't have any fancy titles like a Champion or Gym Leader or Chairwoman?
"Um..Well not exactly by name," Leon explained with a nervous smile, "He's heard about the heroes who averted Galar's crisis twice in a row and was interested to meet the people involved."
Ah. Well that made more sense.
Prince Lear stared in your direction and even though you couldn't see his eyes, you could tell he was looking you over...before a smile finally graced his face. "I've...read the books. Your Professor Sonia took great detail in documenting your region's history."
You nodded. "Yeah. I haven't been able to read her books yet, but I have no doubt Sonia's books are as good as her science. But I didn't expect anyone not from Galar to read them."
The man chuckled amused smiling a bit wider now and both his bodyguards gave a look at each other behind him. "On the contrary. If I'm going to be choosing people from a region to compete in MY Master Leagues I must do my own research on top of meeting them in person to form my own opinions. Don't I? Your region's current troubles just happened to peek my interest."
You hummed thinking a moment before agreeing. "Well I guess so. I'd want to know about someone too before I invited them to anything."
"Hehe. My thinking exactly. ...Hm. You are Ms. Y/n L/n correct?" You nodded and that seemed to peek his interest more. "So you are the one I've read about. Hmhmhm. Saving the Champion and the rest of the region. Twice...That's not an easy feat." He complimented looking at his gloved hand.
"Well. Actually I didn't save Galar."
He paused. Before looking back up at you. "Oh?''
"I only witnessed it and watched from the sidelines." You shook your head. "I'm no hero. The real heroes are Hop and Victor and Gloria. And of course the pokemon who helped us. I just lent a hand where I could."
"Hmm...You know. Modesty is always beautiful on a woman." You blinked as with a swift motion of his hand, he grabbed your hand in his and lifted it to his mouth. "I look forward to seeing these events." And then you froze as he raised your hand to his mouth and like in some cheesy fairytale fantasy he kissed your knuckles gently.
A cold chill ran down your spine as you could feel everyone looking at you. Along with a tense gaze you could feel glare daggers into the back of your head from..someone but you weren't too sure. You were stuck in a bit of a shell shock as he lowered your hand..but you eventually did react. Chuckling nervously and giving a forced smile before gently pulling your hand back away and grabbing Silver as an excuse.
"Well!..I'm glad you think so! It's always nice to get a compliment," you forced out to not be rude. Arceus forbid if you were rude right now but it'd be best if you kept your anger down for now. "I'm sure you'll really enjoy watching them."
Leon sensing your OBVIOUS distress gladly took the attention from you. "Hey. The battles about to begin. Y/n why don't you go take your seat next to Gordie and Melony? He seems to have saved you a spot. Prince Lear, shall we?"
"Hm? Oh. Yes let's. I look forward to seeing how well your region's gym leader's train their successors."
Leon pointed his hand and steered Prince Lear towards the fancy seat off to the left which you took as your chance to scatter like a mouse being chased by a cat back towards the crowd of other who either had confused looks from what just happened or ignored it in favor of turning their attentions towards the TV. True to Leon's word, there was in fact an open seat between Gordie and Hop with Melony and his three little brothers on his taken side, and you found out where the glaring at the back of your head came from. Yep. Gordie was staring at Lear with a serious blank look although he couldn't tell behind his sunglasses. You paused staring at him for a few minutes but Hop's waving for you to come here encouraged you to walk up to them and take your seat between the two. Hop spoke first seeing your sour face as soon as you turned away from the prince.
"You ok there, Mate?," he asked raising a brow, "Haven't seen that sore of a face since we last stopped those weirdo hair duo from wreckin' Galar as a whole."
"..Yyyeeaahh." You examined your hand for a moment wincing feeling that guy kiss it before rubbing the back of your hand against your jacket. "Just don't let me forget to wash my hands the first chance I can get."
You jumped feeling a hand grab yours without a care in the world and looked up to Gordie staring at you. "You alright there?" You nodded and he sighed. "Oh good. For a moment I was worried we'd 'ave another problem. He shouldn't just grab another guy's girlfriend's hand like that."
"Hey now. He is a prince. I'm sure they do it all the time," you said wanting to steer away from the topic and gestured towards the TV as it turned on. "But I think right now we ought to pay attention to the telly. Wouldn't wanna miss Elsa's big show."
That seemed to do the trick because Gordie's attention was quickly turned to the TV too as the mention of his little sister was announced, and the rest of his family paid very close attention to the screen sitting in front of you. And Hop gave a fist pump.
"Alright! Now we get to see Glory and Vic in action! They're gonna mop the floors with the competition!"
You admitted you were excited to see Victor's style of fighting and seeing if it differed from Gloria's or not. Gloria had already proven she could be great in battles and use her head but would that hold up? She wasn't able to defeat Raihan on one and one battles. There wasn't any sandstorms to hide behind with him and as Gloria said it. He was too strong. That's when it had really hit you. While this world was like the game this WASN'T a game and was real life, so there was the real possibility of Gloria losing to someone like Raihan and she did. If she couldn't make it past the top gym leader on a fair field then there wasn't any way she could've bested Leon. And while it did surprise you and you were a little sad for Gloria, you were also relieved. That might've been the only reason you were still here now living your own life and with your friends.
"GOOD MORNING GALAR!" You were snapped back up hearing a reporters voice and face show up on screen. The woman with the microphone smiled as the image of Rose Tower appeared behind her. "This is Marcos Cosmos Newscast with Gillian coming to all you folks at home live in front of Rose Tower where the crowds have been waiting for hours to see who'll be victorious in Galar's first ever Battle Tower competition. A true testimony to how well Gym Leaders train the future generation of Galarian gym leaders. Each contestant will go three rounds and the best one will move onto the next round and next floor eventually reaching the top where the Unbeatable Champion Leon awaits."
What? Leon wasn't- You blinked. Looking around you couldn't spot Leon anywhere in the room. Where was he? You yelped when a hand grabbed your shoulder and you looked up only to come face to face with Nessa. You sighed in relief suddenly seeing her standing above you.
"Arceus Nessa!," you hissed at her in a whisper Silver looking up at the both of you. "What'd you have to go and scare me for?"
"No time to explain!," she whispered back pointing at Silver with a VERY worried expression, "He can battle right? You have his pokeball on you?"
You were a little taken a back at the random question but answered taking Silver's pokeball out of your pocket to show her. "Yeah. He's been in battles before. Why?"
"Victor's short one pokemon and he needs six to rotate out. You don't happen to mind if we borrow him right?" You opened your mouth but before you could speak the pokeball and Silver were snatched into her arms without warning Silver giving a loud chirp of alarm. "Thanks Y/n! I owe you one! I promise I'll make it up to you later!''
"H-Hey wait! Nessa! I didn't-" The fashionista didn't stop as she soon disappeared with a squawking pokemon under her arms out the entrance leaving you sitting there staring.....
What just happened!?
"Will this be the day the Champion finally loses a match or will his record remain unbeatable? Only time will decide. Let's go right now live as the first battle takes place on Floor One on Camera One."
Time's up. The reporter disappeared from the screen and all fell silent as the camera showed a LARGE empty metal room except for one person inside. A man wearing a black and white referee outfit as he stood there. And then two doors from either side opened and two contestants walked in.
"WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE FIRST ROUND BATTLE OF ROUND ONE OF GALAR'S FIRST EVER BATTLE TOWER EVENT!!," an announcer spoke from no where. Must've been a speaker. "THE FIRST BATTLE IS UNDERWAY WITH OUR FIRST TWO BATTLERS!!" You heard Raihan from somewhere to your right give a small cheer as Sebastian appeared on the scene. "THE FIRST MATCH WILL BE BETWEEN THE FIRE OF HAMMERLOCKE STADIUM SEBASTIAN AND THE FANTASTICAL BEDE OF THE BELLONLEA STADIUM!!" Hop gave a grumble as Bede also proudly made his way onto the battlegrounds. "WILL HAMMERLOCKE SPREAD THEIR WINGS TO REACH THE NEXT ROUND OR WILL BELLONLEA TURN THAT CHANCE INTO A JUST FAIRYTALE!? WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE!! BATTLERS!! TAKE YOUR PLACES ON THE COURSE!!" Both teens did. "POKEMON READY! GET SET!! LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!"
And just like that the first battle was underway. Sebastian must've improved from the last time you saw him because he easily won the first round against Bede to which both Raihan and Hop cheered at. Raihan using his rotomi phone to take plenty of pictures of his boy winning like a proud father. But unfortunately Sebastian didn't win as Bede completely swept through him during the second and final round. Marking him as the clear winner.
"FINAL ROUND OVER!! BEDE HAS BESTED TWO OUT OF THREE!! THEREFORE BELLONLEA PROUDLY MOVES ON TO THE SECOND ROUND AND FLOOR!!"
Raihan groaned which turned into a sigh as he closed his eyes. "Ah well. Can't win them all I suppose."
"That's very sportsman like of you," Opal commented back at him making the Dragon Type Gym Leader chuckle and smile.
"Well I certainly hope so. I wouldn't want to come off as a Negative Nancy." He then blinked and turned his head to you as you smiled at him.
"SECOND MATCH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!! PLEASE TAKE YOUR PLACES!!" And your attention's went back to the TV as none other than Marnie and Gloria entered next through the doors.
"ALRIGHT GLORIA!," Hop shouted next to you becoming more excited. "This is gonna be great!"
You nodded. You were excited to see how this would play out. "SECOND FIRST ROUND MATCH IS BETWEEN THE BURNING COAL OF MOTOSTOKE GLORIA AND THE SPUNKY MARNIE OF SPIKEMUTH!!" Both girls taking their places on the field. "PLEASE TAKE YOUR PLACES ON THE COURSE! POKEMON AT THE READY! GET SET! BATTLE BEGIN!!"
It was a glorious battle. It always was with both Marnie and Gloria. First round Gloria won. Second round Marnie. Third round now. Gloria won. Cheers filled the air.
"GLORIA WINS THE SECOND MATCH AND WILL PROCEED TO THE SECOND ROUND AND FLOOR!! THIRD ROUND BATTLERS PLEASE GO ONTO THE FIELD!!" Two more teens walked onto the course and all three of Milo, Gordie, and Melony cheered as both Felix and Elsa made their way onto the fields. "HE HAS THE BEST GREEN THUMB INTRODUCING FELIX OF TURRFIELD AND HIS OPPONENT THE COLD HEARTED BRAWLER ELSA OF CIRCHESTOR AS THEY READY TO FIGHT FOR MATCH THREE!! BUT WILL TURRFIELD GROW TO THE NEXT ROUND BEFORE WINTER FREEZES IT'S ROOTS!? LET'S FIND OUT! BATTLERS TO YOUR PLACES!! GET SET! BATTLE BEGIN!!" All three cheered in front of you. Milo for his little brother and Melony and Gordie for their little sister/daughter. It was a tough battle but in the end Elsa won. "CIRCHESTOR ADVANCES TO THE SECOND FLOOR AND ROUND!! WE WILL BE TAKING A FIVE MINUTE BREAK FOR THE MAINTENANCE CREW TO FIX THE FIRST FLOOR AND READY THE SECOND! PLEASE STAND BY AS WE HAVE A WORD WITH OUR SPONSORS AND FIGURE OUT THE NEXT MATCH PAIRS!"
"YEAH!! That's what m' talking about!," Gordie cheered pointing at the screen where Elsa was waving and walking off the course. "Lookit how strong she's gotten!"
"That's my baby!," Melony did her own cheer pointing at her daughter.
You had to admit, Elsa did get stronger. Poor Milo. he must've been looking forward to seeing his little brother advance forward but Felix did put up a good front against Elsa's Ice type pokemon. Which means that meant Elsa, Gloria, and Bede would be advancing to Round Two and since Victor didn't have anyone to battle with he got an automatic win to advance to Round Two as well. With three of the trainers out of the running that leaves four left. Nessa returned in the time you were speaking to Hop and Gordie to pass the time until the second round was announced by the announcer on the TV and a new floor and referee was shown.
"ALRIGHT FOLKS!! NEW ROUND AND NEW FLOOR ARE NOW HERE!! THE MATCHES HAVE BEEN DECIDED! LET'S GET THE FIRST MATCH OF ROUND TWO STARTED!" Here we go. You wondered which twin would be first or if either would go first. Or maybe neither? Both entrances opened and two made their way out. "THE FIRST MATCH BETWEEN BELLONLEA AND MOTOSTOKE IS ABOUT TO COMMENCE!! BATTLERS PLEASE TAKE YOUR PLACES!!" Gloria and Bede took their places. "GET SET!! LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE!!"
Bede and Gloria huh? Not a bad start to a first match..But also with an unexpected twist. Gloria won first round. Bede second...and then Bede the third? It was just one slip up by Gloria. One mistake that allowed Bede's hatterene enough access to grab Gloria's raboot and proceed to literally rear itself and literally toss the poor rabbit pokemon right out of the in boundaries and crashing into one of the tower's walls just before it could late a critical and probably final blow to the hatterene's weak point. Making Bede the winner by a small inch.
"BEDE'S HATTERENE HAS KNOCKED RABOOT OUT OF BOUNDS!! THEREFORE BEDE ADVANCES TO THE NEXT ROUND AND FLOOR! PLEASE STAND BY AS WE WAIT FOR THE NEXT MATCH TO BEGIN!"
"WHAT!?," Hop shouted hands rushing to grab his head which was followed by many looks thrown at him and shushes from the others.
"Hop. Don't be so loud," you whispered at him. Luckily Prince Lear didn't seem to notice Hop's outburst. "We have a guest here."
"I know but-.." he stared back at the screen where Gloria and Bede now excited the floor. "HOW could've she lost against him of all people?! Glory beat him every other time they battled and she trained under the very best! It doesn't make any sense."
"Well not everyone can win against every battle they fight," you explained, "You win some. You lose some. Even Gloria. I mean she lost to Raihan in the finals didn't she?"
"Not everyone loses. Leon doesn't."
"Didn't he lose to Eternatus?" Your brow rose. "I thought that was the entire reason of you two saving him."
Hop went silent for a moment before crossing his arms and mumbling. "I guess so."
You smiled. "See? It's not so bad. Besides you have to remember Bede's going to have to fight either Elsa or Victor in the next round anyways, so it's not like he's home free yet.''
That seemed to lift Hop's spirit's a bit because he nodded with a hum. "That's true. We'll have to wait and see."
Well you all didn't have to wait long because the entrances opened again and two others made their way onto the course. "THE SECOND MATCH OF ROUND TWO WILL NOW COMMENCE BETWEEN CIRCHESTER AND HULBURY!! PLEASE GET TO YOUR PLACES!! POKEMON AT THE READY!! BATTLE BEGIN!!" Round one. Elsa wins. Round two. Victor wins. Last round...Victor wins. And no sign of Silver being used which you were a bit concerned about. "ELSA'S GLACEON IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! THEREFORE HULBURY ADVANCES TO THE THIRD ROUND AND FLOOR! BUT ONLY ONE TRAINER WILL MAKE IT TO THE TOP FLOOR TO CHALLENGE THE CHAMPION HIMSELF! WHO WILL IT BE!? FIND OUT AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK SO STAY TUNED!!"
"Yeah Victor!," Hop cheered throwing a hand out and a determined face smacked onto him now. "I knew he could do it! He's gonna wipe the floor with Bede's mop head."
"Hop!," you scowled at him, "I thought we agreed to stop calling him names. And you shouldn't count your poke eggs before they hatch. We don't know who's going to win yet."
"Yeah. But if Vic doesn't ground Bede into dust then Leon sure as Arceus will."
You rolled your eyes but looked to Gordie who seemed down his sister didn't win but turned when you gently grabbed his shoulder with a smile. "She did her best. Your mom trained her really well." Which again caught him off guard..but earnt another soft smile your way.
And Hop? Well...He did have a point there. As a commercial for some kind of pokemon food product came on the TV you wondered what exactly Victor was thinking. Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye faster than expected because the TV showed a new room with both Victor and Bede making their way onto the scene and stopping. Here we go.
"THIS IS IT FOLKS! ROUND THREE IS ON THE WAY!! THE WINNER SHALL GO ON TO CHALLENGE NONE OTHER THAN GALAR'S OWN UNBEATABLE CHAMPION! BUT WHO WILL TRIUMPH AND WHO WILL LOSE!? LET THE THIRD ROUND MATCH GET UNDERWAY!! TAKE YOUR PLACES!! POKEMON READY! GO!"
And then both sent out their pokemon of choice. Bede a rapidash and Victor a vaporeon. And it didn't take long for one of them to react as Victor pointed right at Bede and shouted a command. "Vaporeon! Quick attack now! And ready your shadow ball!" In an instant the vaporeon did as it's master said. With a small battle cry of it's own, darted forward at lightning speeds. The making of a black ball forming at it's mermaid like tail.
A huff came out of Bede as he shook his head. "Don't you know dark type moves aren't that effective on fairty types? Rapidash! Show them your power with psycho cut!" The horse pokemon let out high pitched whinny. It's whole body glowing a white light as it powered itself up for the move and thrusted it's head forward. Pointing it's horn at the approaching vaporeon. Slashes of that light cutting through the air towards it-
"USE SHADOW BALL ON THE GROUND NOW!!" With a back flip the vaporeon went head over heels, slamming the shadow ball into the ground and allowing the built up momentum to send it cascading through the air and right over the Rapidash's still lowered head. "AQUA TAIL!" A glowing blue light and wave swung forth. The powerful tail absolutely SLAMMING into the poor rapidash's head. A niegh of pain coming from the horse pokemon slammed head first into the floor...and that's where it stayed.
"RAPIDASH IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! VICTOR WINS FIRST MATCH OF ROUND THREE!" Bede's expression changed to one of amusement to shock to frustration as he returned his fallen rapidash. "SECOND ROUND IS UNDERWAY!! PLEASE READY YOUR NEXT POKEMON!!" The Vaporeon stayed as Bede brought a second pokemon out. "GET SET! BATTLE BEGIN!"
"HYDRO PUMP!" Victor was quick to strike first ordering the vaporeon to shoot the geyser of water from it's mouth and it did. Which the gardevoir gracefully dodged with a large jump allowing it to get closer to Victor's pokemon. "SHADOWBALL!!"
"Gardevoir use teleport!" Just as the vaporeon shot out the shadowball the gardevoir disappeared. Only to appear in a blink of an eye behind the water type a little bit aways from it. "Psyshock!" Gardevoir obeyed. Splaying it's arms out circles of bright pink-white light before the same light circles appeared around the vaporeon and darts of lights shot down out it. Causing it to shriek as the light darts made contact with it's body. "Finish it off with shadowball!" It held it hands in front of it's chest as a black ball of energy formed, before as quickly as a scorbunny could run, the gardevior reared it's arms back like a baseball pitcher and threw it. The shadowball cascaded right through the air and exploded on contact. Smoke flew into the air as the explosion started to die down and everyone waited with baited breath as it slowly faded away. And their the vaporeon laid fainted against the ground.
"VAPOREON IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE BATTLE!! BEDE WINS THE SECOND MATCH OF ROUND TWO! PLEASE READY YOUR POKEMON FOR THE FINAL MATCH!!" Both pokemon were retracted and next to you Hop for Victor to win under his breath as both readied their final pokemon for the last match of Round Three. Both brought out their final pokeballs. "GET SET! GO!"
Both finally sent out their final pokemon and your eyes widened when you you saw none other than Silver being sent out by Victor along with Bede's Hatterene. The drizzlie giving a shake of his head and looking around confused- Before giving a squeak of fear at seeing the much larger hatterene staring right at him.
"Hatterene use calm mind!" The hatterene gave off a cry as light surrounded it and in a moment disappeared. That couldn't be good. Bede gave Victor a proud smile as the other twin pointed at him.
"Silver! Water pulse quick!" Quickly regaining his composure, Silver produced a water balloon looking thing from no where and sent the water pulse cascading towards the Hatterene who...didn't move? Bede didn't even make an attempt to order his pokemon as the attack collided with it- And then bounced off right back towards Silver The drizzlie gave a high pitched sound before diving right onto his stomach to avoid the attack that had been magically rebounded at him.
"That's Magic bounce!," Hop said in disbelief next to you. "It sends an enemy's attack right back at them! How'd he teach his hatterene to do that?!"
"Hatterne bedazzle your audience with dark pulse!"
"Silver! Dodge it and get close to that hatterene!"
You could only watch in terror and worry as Silver basically looked like he was tripping on banana peels running around the battle field with a terrified expression ducking and diving away from the calm hatterene's attacks barely dodging Bede's commanded attacks. Anytime Silver was able to get an attack in it was rebounded out back at him and just giving him another thing to dodge from but he did slowly start getting closer towards the hatterene. Your hands clenched feeling the dread and worry in your guts seeing your poor pokemon put through that. Until one well placed dark pulse by Bede sealed the poor pokemon's fate. With a shriek Silver went cascading through the air along with a terrible ripping sound which was the result of his little hoodie tearing right down the front and ruining it as he landed with a hard thud sound right in front of the hatterene. You nearly let out a shriek yourself. Silver wasn't even given time to recover when something grabbed him in an iron grip and lifted his struggling form into the air.
"Give him a few slams onto the ground!," Bede ordered. And what Bede wanted he got. Over and over and over Silver was slammed into the hard metal ground with enough force to leave behind some dents before it finally brought a dazed and limp Silver up to it's face. The tatters of his jacket falling onto the ground. "Not surprising since you don't have much Pink! Stand by with psychic to finish them off!"
Time seemed to slow down for a moment as Silver's eyes blinked open. Watching as the tatters of the once nice jacket slowly fall to the ground like forgotten leaves in autumn. The poor blue fabric scraps hitting the ground and leaving no more trace of it- No more trace of YOU with him had him staring wide eyed at the ground from the hatterene's grip. He hurt. He was scared. And he was alone right now. Like how he first felt back when he was just a sobble. He certainly fell like crying in that moment but then something happened. Something snapped in him and the hatterene was certainly surprised when the once scared drizzile in it's gripped reared it's head up and yelled at it's face.
"SILVER USE POUND!"
The hatterene was forced to drop the limp drizzile as a hard sucker punch was delivered directly to it's face via Silver's tongue and with another thud Silver landed on the ground-..And then his once limp body shimmered as if the starlight itself emanated from his own body and he glowed. Brighter and brighter and brighter he became until his body changed and morphed. The hatterene watching in shock and horror as the lit up body grew even taller than itself until the starlight disappeared and a very, very, VERY tall Inteleon stood in it's place above it. Gold eyes staring dangerously down at itself and the hatterene let out some frightened noise instantly leaning back away from this dangerously smiling pokemon.
"Our turn now! Silver let's give these two a piece o' their own medicine!" The hatterene shrieked as a whip like tail snatched it up from the bottom of it's body.
"HATTERENE!!" Bede could only watch in horror as his beloved hatterene was given the same treatment it gave Silver as the now Inteleon slammed it over and over and OVER into the metal floor with such ANGER and ferocity that it made the purple eyed boy stare on in horror.
"GIVE IT A TOSS!!" A crack of a whip sound went off as Silver with one twist of his body let lose the hatterene and sent it flying into the air with a high pitched shriek of it's own. It's eyes wide in fear as it went around in circles head over heels- "SNIPE SHOT!!" Like a sniper aiming his weapon, Silver held up his hands in a similar way and a stream of a deadly water attack shot out. Not missing it's target and landing with expert skill colliding with the hatterene who gave one last cry of pain before it landed on the ground with a hard thud. ...And didn't get back up.
"HATTERENE IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE BATTLE!! VICTOR WINS THE THIRD ROUND AND SHALL PROCEED ONWARDS TO CHALLENGE THE CHAMPION!!"
"YES!!" You were spooked out your jaw dropped stupor and blinked when Hop jumped up throwing both hands into the air. "HE DID IT!! VICTOR'S GOING TO CHALLENGE LEON!!"
Silver...evolved! You let out a breath you didn't know you were keeping in your mouth as you sighed and continued staring at the Tv. Bede had already returned his hatterene and seemed upset as Victor cheered himself. But it was the actions of Silver that had your eyes staring at the screen. White hands of the knelt shiny inteleon gingerly picked up some of the few remaining tatters of the jacket before standing up. The gold eyes inspecting the remains of the fabric before closing his eyes. A sigh escaping his nose before he turned up a smile towards the cameras for whatever reason. Thank ARCEUS he was alright.
"STAY TUNED FOLKS AS WE TAKE A SMALL BREAK BEFORE THE FINALLY WHERE THE LUCKY TRAINER WILL GO ON TO BATTLE THE CHAMPION HIMSELF! WILL THERE BE A NEW VICTORY AGAINST LEON OR WILL HIS UNBEATABLE REPUTATION STAND STRONG?! ALL OF THAT RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK!!"
Hop wasn't the only one celebrating. Nessa looked rather pleased at the results and even received a congrats from Opal which was nice. Bede did his best. The wait was awful. Just sitting there watching commercial after commercial after commercial. Until the stage was finally set and it was announced that the last round was underway. The top floor of Rose Tower was shown on screen with the one and only Leon standing there. Silently waiting for his special opponent to arrive. And he didn't have to wait long. The door opened and Victor arrived. Walking in through the entrance way. His breath was heaving and sweat ran down his forehead. His hands felt sweating and the grip on the pokeball in his hand tightened. Each step echoed through the entire place until he stopped.
Leon smiled. "Victor! I've been waiting for you. Always knew you'd be able to win your way here." Nothing but a smile and praise was given to Victor and it helped to relax him. "Nervous?"
"Is it obvious?," Victor asked back rubbing his hand on his face.
"Hey. It's alright to be nervous. I was too when I first faced off against the Champion."
"Y-Yeah. But.." Victor looked down. "I guess I wasn't ever expectin' ta actually ever fight against ye is all. It feels so...w-weird. I-If that makes sense. I always thought it'd be Glory who'd be standin' 'ere to face ye."
"She is a strong fighter and she came really far in the gym challenge," leon agreed with a nod, "But so are you. Anyone who was able to make it this far deserves where you stand now. I'm proud of you."
"Y-You are?"
"I'm not the only one either. Nessa. Gloria. Hop. Your mom. ..We all are." And for a moment his eyes closed with a sigh. "My dream has always been to make the people of the Galar Region stronger. And this battle tower is making that dream come true! Think you and I can get stronger too?" His eyes opened back up. "A fierce battle is the only way to do it! Now how about you take on Champion Leon with everything that you've got?"
After a moment Victor took a breath and finding new courage nodded. "I-I'm not gonna hold back!"
"Hehe. I wouldn't have it any other way. Now come on! Let's show everyone an absolute Champion time!"
And thus the battle began. Everyone watching with cheers or silent stares or worried looks with baited breath. You were one of those ones with baited breath especially when you saw Silver get released back out against Leon ...and get knocked to the floor only seconds later with a heavy thud in defeat.
"INTELEON IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!! THE WINNER OF THE BATTLE TOWER IS THE UNBEATABLE CHAMPION LEON!"
So that was it huh? It was all over. Leon won. Not that no one didn't expect that possibility after all. This was Leon. You didn't look away from the screen as Silver was returned to his pokeball and Leon walked across the room to most likely congratulate Victor and steer him back towards the exit.
"All right, Lee!" Hop cheered next to you. "They were so cool!"
You nodded to not be rude but you were more worried about Silver right now so you stood up to go see him. Seemed you werent the only one who had the idea because Prince Lear also stood up.
"Your display pleased me today," he spoke back in that neutral voice, "If this is what I can expect later is week as well then I have much to look forward too." He turned his head towards the Chairwoman. "I think I would like to speak with the Champion now. Is that possible?"
Ms. Dahlia nodded. "Of course. I'm sure everyone else is itching to go and take a break as well." She then nodded towards everyone. "Everyone is dismissed until this Saturday. Please excuse us." You watched as the Chairwoman left with the prince and his bodyguards right behind him.
You did look behind you as Gordie stood up though along with the rest of his family, his mother herding the triplets. "Heading to see Elsa?" He nodded with a hum. "Think I'll head that way too. I want to see Silver again."
You both filed out with everyone and went around towards the front of the tower ignoring the cheering crowds. Ironically it seemed the others had the same idea as you guys because you ran right into Victor and Gloria as they came around the corner. Victor looked exhausted from the day's events and Gloria was excitedly congratulating him which Hop soon joined in and Victor could only tiredly smile at the rapid fire of talking the two spouted at him. Which was added to by Nessa who gave him a pat on the back and you received Silver's pokeball from him. Sighing in relief as he was safely back in your hands again. Now what? Well everyone who battled in pokemon was going to head over to the nearest pokemon center before either returning to the hotel or somewhere else. You also decided to tag along to the pokemon center in order to have Silver looked over and ended up sharing a taxi over there with Kabu, Gloria, and Hop. The trip there being nothing special other than both Hop and Gloria chatting excitedly about the day's events.
"Hey! Lee's taking me to Wyndon's research center tomorrow! Y-You can come along too if you want?"
To your surprise Gloria actually shook her head no. "Can't. I promised Bede I'd hang out with him after we were done."
Hop froze. And you counted down to his reaction. Three. Two- "WHAT!?"
She smiled excitedly. "YEAH! We're goin' ta this theater and watchin' the Tale of Two Queens! It's the story o' how the ancient kinds supposedly fell in love! And get this! He says we can ride his rapidash there too! I'm so excited ta see the beauty up close that isn't in battle."
...Hop plastered on a grin. "Hey. That's...grrreeeaat, Glory. Real, real happy for ya! But..Maybe we can go around Wyndon tomorrow? Just like old times!"
Her face could not get anymore happier. "I'd love too! We can visit that cafe Lee took us too last year!"
Well. Guess the game was on between those two again. Once you all had arrived and filed out it was also nothing special. There were also a few other people there including Victor and Bede who Hop sent a dirty look but Bede only smiled oh so innocently back at him. From there it was easy. In. Let Nurse Joy look over your pokemon. She healed them all up and recommended to let them rest for a day or two with plenty of food and water. Out. And you smiled at the pokeball in your hand. You'd let him out as soon as you were back outside. But that was where the problems began. As you were getting Silver looked over Bede had walked outside with Gloria chatting away, probably to go hang out like they had planned after the battle. You were planning on walking around for a little bit until you could find someplace to eat with Silver, but something nearly startled you into dropping the pokeball. A shriek. A high pitched (and for some reason familiar sounding) shriek passed through the air just outside the center, and even though it was muffled, everyone inside turned their heads towards the door hearing it. Despite being startled at first you headed towards the exit real quick and threw open the door. What you saw on the other side was something you weren't expecting. At all.
IT WAS OLEANA!!
Or at least the remnants of her. She stood towering over Bede and Gloria who both stood there staring up wide eyed and horrified at her as she shrieked at Bede.
"YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON CHAIRMAN ROSE AFTER EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR YOU!! YOU COULD'VE BEEN SITTING COMFY ON THAT CHAMPION STATUS IN A BETTER SOCIETY IF YOU HADN'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS TAKE OFF!!," she shouted between incoherent babbling and rambles pointing her finger at Bede accusingly.
Oleana!? But-..Why?! HOW!? What was she doing here!? Wasn't she in hiding after that whole incident with Eternatus last year!? In your stupor you stared at the woman still rambling before shaking your head. That didn't matter right now. If she was here then that only meant trouble. And trouble there was. In the middle of her rant her finger actually poked Bede and he reacted instantly. By flinching and making himself (and Gloria) take a step back purple eyes shrinking more in fear. And you saw red. No one saw it coming let alone Oleana. As something suddenly grabbed her extended arm and with a yank over she went. Colliding with a wall away from the two scared teens and other hand placed itself firmly against her other shoulder. Dazed she quickly shook her head and GLARED at you but any bite she might've thrown at you was shoved aside from your response. You were ANGRY. You were TIRED. And you were going to finally give her a piece of your mind!
"SHUT UP!!" Your bellow echoed across the street and into the air demanding silence especially from the woman you kept away from Bede. "Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! For Arceus sakes just shut up already! Do you ever just be quiet instead of yelling!?" You were getting very hard Pearl vibes from last year which only added to your anger. Oleana was VERY much a karen as well."You absolutely dumb excuse of a walk in closet!! I'm getting real tired of people like you trying to make my life and others lives a living heck to deal with!! And you happened to catch me in a bad mood." Your face pushed itself closer to her and she stared unsure as if this never happened to her before. Which probably hadn't. "Maybe if you didn't wear those stupid shoes you'd be able to pull your head out of the clouds and realize that you're not big, bad, or in charge anymore. AND YOU'RE REALLY TICKING ME OFF!" She made a squeaky gasp noise as you increased your grip on her. She was NOT going to get away. "Maybe your big head makes you think you're fat enough to throw your weight around and can get away with stuff, but you couldn't even get away with swatting a bug now!" Your scowl hardened. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM BEDE!! YOU HEAR ME!? ...LOOK AT ME!!" Her once eyes glancing around for an exit looked back at you from your second bellow. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM!! YOU DON'T LOOK AT HIM! YOU DON'T TALK TO HIM! AND YOU DON'T TOUCH HIM! YOU HEAR ME!? HE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH BECAUSE OF YOU!! AND SO HELP ME IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN I'LL SEARCH GALAR UNTIL I FIND YOU AND THEN I'LL DRAG YOU KICKING AND SCREAMING TO THE NEAREST PRISON MYSELF AND MAKE SURE OF IT!!"
Silence. Cold. Dead. Silence. No one spoke. No one made a move. And you didn't loosen your grip or move your gaze away from Oleana silent wide eyed stare. That is. Until something touched your shoulder. You instantly snapped over your shoulder and you blinked at the confusing sight of a pink and mint green umbrella on your shoulder.
"Well I certainly couldn't have put that in better words myself," an eerily voice said and when you looked behind you your eyes widened. Standing there with her umbrella to your shoulder. Behind her Bede was peeking out wide eyed at you and beside him was Gloria looking calmer and less afraid also glaring at Oleana. "Come now. Let's put her down. I believe she's learnt her lesson." You didn't move at first still surprise but then the tip of the umbrella poked your shoulder a couple times. "We're not getting any younger, Young Lady. Put her down." She spoke in an almost grandmotherly voice. That tone your grandma would use as a warning before you got into trouble.
You looked back to Oleana as she stared back at you. Scowled hard...And let go. Oleana slid down the wall until she sat on the ground. Until you jolted again before whirling around and meeting the eyes of..Gordie? With Elsa behind him. Oh..Guess they were also part of the group that came here to get their pokemon checked also.
"I was wondering what was taking you children so long but this seems to answer that question." Opal gazed at Olena before humming and turning her gaze to Bede who blinked at her. "Go on now. Take your friend and go wait in the taxi, Dear. I do so love a good performance and I'm not planning on missing this one." Bede didn't even get a chance to answer before she then turned her gaze to Gordie. "Why don't you go grab dear Kabu to watch over her before the authorities arrive? Hm? And take your ladyfriend here to go calm her mind." She tilted her head to you as you still scowled at Oleana from Gordie's grip. "It would do her good to calm down."
Gordie nodded and instantly began to coax you away from Oleana and used his stronger strength begin to pull away from her and the crowd watching. However unknownst to all of you there were some other people watching. A special someone especially with red sunglasses.
"I am so sorry you had to see that, Your Highness. I promise it's not like that all the time. The woman. Oleana. Has been a troublemaker for quite sometime."
"Hm..No need. On the contrary." A smile spread across someone's face as they watched the Dragon Tamer scoot you awa
y. "I find modest and strong women, very alluring."

Sharing a hotel room extendedly was interesting. You get to know a person quickly, all their little habits, intimately, quirks, rituals. They tried to share, take turns, give space, but of things would also blend sometimes if they were going to the same place at the same time. He noticed her morning routine. He noticed her night routine.
He noticed the way she sat when she read. He noticed her usual orders when she ate, the way she fixed her teas, held her cups, crossed her legs or leaned in her chair. He started to noticed things about Elsa and know more things about this woman than he’d known about nearly anyone, much less so quickly in the start of a relationship.
He noticed Elsa often went off to do her own thing in the day especially if it had to do with the band. He understood that. She didn’t seem like the type to want to hang around Valerie’s house listening to them stop and start a song over and over half the day while babies were also crying or feeding in the other rooms. In a way it wasn’t the most fun and inviting environment in the world when there was all of New Zealand to explore. He liked to take her out sometimes for a sit down dinner someplace. Make a date of it. It hard to completely be himself when he didn’t know the area at all. Try to keep things feeling like the world was still a normal place for them despite it not being normal at all, for example how they came back to the hotel and ended in bed together.
It wasn’t a bad thing though, not for Koda. To him the sex remained positive. Fiery. He wasn’t getting bored. However, in his different life experience than her he wasn’t used to all this closeness. The most closeness he had was with his band mates on the tour bus that one summer for this long. This sort of “always there” was definitely new for him and it wasn’t like they chose it exactly. It just came upon them by happenstance. It wasn’t bad. It was just foreign to him how it all happened so quickly. It was hard to keep acting like life was normal when the world was anything but and their lives had been torn apart, at least his was.
Then finally he got some texts from Willem. This led to more. Elsa would see him sputtering on his phone for some time before he’d approach her.
“I just talked to Delta. Great news. The spell didn’t affect animals. My horse is actually okay after all because they were out in the field able to graze.” There was a smile on his face for a split moment because for him this was a small ray of sunshine in middle of all the sadness he could cling to. Floppy meant a lot to him. “She must have run off that day. Spooked.”
His face changed rather quickly though, more serious. “She’s going to let some people back in if they really want to be there or have reason. Delta’s terms of course. We were right. Nola’s never going to be the same. Big things are happening there. She said if I do come back in she won’t guarantee when I’ll let be back out... or... if.”
Delta was pulling a Godfather on this stuff. Full allegiance for entrance with the while spiel. One day I may call upon you for a favor and you can not refuse.
The horse was one thing, but Elsa knew with his parents in Funkytown there was no way he wasn’t going to risk it. He’s been waiting for this chance, but now he had no idea how long he’d be gone. Delta was a serious wild card.
Now every moment where he thought I wish I had a little extra space he was currently thinking instead oh spirits please allow me to be lead back to this woman. He was worried he took it for granted and didn’t savor it enough while he had the opportunity.

(Third film. After “way down we go”. The camera fades to Mal’s Id outside the palace)
Id (imitating P. T. Barnum): hello again. Now. You may be wondering what’s next. So I’ll give you a clue. She’s middle aged. Has an 18 year old son. Divorced. Hails from a poor provincial town. And has been drinking like a fish since dawn yesterday morning. That’s right people! Give it up for the Queen Mother!
(The camera zooms around the palace and into one the windows of Belle’s apartments where she’s just woken up. And Elsa is not impressed)
Elsa: good afternoon your highness. I’d call you “sleeping beauty”. But those out there would get the wrong idea. And there is NOTHING pretty about this.
Belle: my tongue feels like a carpet and my breath smells like I slept ate cheese.
Elsa: you did.
Belle: oh Christ. What time is it?
Elsa: about midday.
Belle: oh god. OH GOD!!!! Where’s Ben! Where’s Gil! Where’s Carlos! Where’s Mal! Are they alright!
Elsa: if they’d gotten hurt then they’d have teleported back here. Queen Ella’s on matron duty. Oh. And by the way. Verna’s back. She’s in the library. According to her Mal’s given all of our allies magic. Including you.
Belle: it’s midday right?
Elsa: mhmm.
Belle: good. I need sangria. And vodka mocha cocktails.
Elsa: why?
Belle: I’ve just woken up. And it’s lunchtime. Drink with me. The kings mother commands it
Elsa: ohhhh I don’t like where this is going.
(This is when “the ladies who lunch” happens. After the song. Elsa looks halfway between scared shitless and highly unimpressed)
Elsa: well. That was. Vaguely terrifying. Are you done now?
Belle: I have a man in my bed
Elsa: sorry, what?
Belle: M-Maui.
Elsa: Maui the demigod Maui?
Belle: mhmm
Elsa: oh that mental image is going to haunt me to my dying days isn’t it? Okay. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’ll let Maui sleep. And we’re going to go to the War Room. Ben and the main staff are there. And you’re going to drink a Lot of coffee. Okay?
Belle: do i have to?
Elsa: either coffee or I pour ice cubes on your head
Belle: coffee please
Elsa: there we go then.
(In the War Room)
Ben: wow ma, you look rough.
Belle: I still taste cheese.
Ben: Uhkay....Anyway. Update. There is a big chance that I’ve grievously injured Maleficent. Of course she’s still wearing Audrey. So I’ve just beaten Audrey to a bloodied pulp. But it’s, you know, war. So needs myst right?
Belle: completely understandable. Ive never liked that girl. Snap her neck.
Ben: is she alright?
Elsa: she is very, very drunk. I don’t even think the hangovers set in yet.
Belle: when did Patrick get here?
Elsa: Patrick? Who’s Patrick?
Ben: he’s Mary Poppins’s umbrella.
Patrick: 607 years and someone finally mentions me by name. Well that’s a fine how do you do.
Poppins: now, now Patrick. Be nice.
Ben (jumping half a foot in the air): JESUS FUcrying out loud! Don’t sneak up on us like that. There’s a war going on you know.
Poppins: I do know. Which I why I am here to help. Now. All of you sit down whilst I tell you my plan
Belle: do you have any of that multi flavoured medicine?
Ben: Mom. Quit it with the booze
Belle: sorry
Poppins: never fear your highness. Take this
(She holds out a small yellow capsule)
Belle: thank you. WHOAH THATS GOT A KICK!!!! What was it?
Poppins: turmeric mixed with some mustard paste. Soaks up all the alcohol. Now that’s taken care of. Your highness. Where are the staff?
Ben: outside. They all insisted on keeping guard.
Poppins: call them in please
Ben: um. Sure. Mrs Potts. Cogsworth. Lumiere. Fifi. Chip. You can come in if you want.
Poppins: lovely. My plan is rather simple. Books.
Elsa: and....?
Poppins: books. Humanity’s greatest weapon is the written word after all
Elsa: are absolutely insane?
Poppins: no. The king loves to read.
Ben: yeah, I do, and usually I’d agree with you, but Elsa’s right. We need to act.
Mrs Potts: she’s right love. We have one of the biggest libraries in the world.
Lumiere: and you and your mother know it better than anyone.
Cogsworth: plus you have a highly intricate knowledge of the Dewey decimal system.
Ben: yeah, well, I know, but, we don’t have the time. We need quick ideas. And we need them now.
Belle: Ben. I know you’re worried about Mal. But she’s smart. And more than capable. And besides, you need ways of protecting the palace should the enchantments fail
Poppins: listen to your mother my liege. And besides
(This is when “anything can happen” happens. After the song. Poppins looks around)
Poppins: where did....?
Ben: Elsa go? I don’t know. She walked out rigjt before you paid tribute to Busby Berkeley.
Poppins: oh. In that case. Please do take my advice Benjamin. Now. If you excuse me. The wind is changing so I must take my leave?
Ben: wind is cha. What do you mean by that? Are we winning? Losing? Are the weather vanes gone?
Poppins: yes.
(And with that she disappears in the blink of an eye)
Ben: seriously?
Chip (brushing it off): classique Mme Poppins. Elle n'explique jamais rien
Ben: fair enough. C’mon then mother. Let’s go to tir library.
(In the library)
Belle: what the hell happened in here?
Ben: Verna. I think she took some books back to her room. She never was neat when it came to books. If we clean up the library. I might be able to find a book they could help me.
Belle: that could take a very long time
Ben: not with magic.
Belle: smart idea.
Ben: eh. I get it from you and your. What did you call it again?
Belle: mothers intuition
Ben: ah yeah. You’ve never actually told me what that entails though.
Belle: I haven’t?
Ben: nope.
Belle: oh. Well. Um.
Ben: talk and clean ma. Talk and clean.
Belle: oh. Right.
(This is when “mothers intuition” happens. After the song. The camera fades back onto Mal’s Id standing outside the cathedrals bubble amongst the burning ruins of Main Street)
Id: welcome back possums. I know things look a little dire right now. But they’ll soon pick up. Because-
Audreficent: are you quite sure about that my dear?
Id (terrified): what the hell are you doing here?
Audreficent: oh you dear sweet child. Did you really think that you and your kind were the only ones who could speak to all of those people out there at home? Everybody has multiple tricks up their sleeves. Just be sure that you do not waste yours
Id: where’s Mal?
Audreficent: you are the one who is connected to her. So. You tell me.
(Id, in horror, runs away into the distance. Audreficent turns to the camera)
Audreficent: the proceedings have been. A mite too saccharine for my tastes thus far. So I think that it is high time for my champion to awaken from his slumber
(They disappear in a puff of black smoke and Adam clambers out of the ground. This is when “the world has gone insane” happens. After the song. Back in the library.)
Ben: what was that noise?
Belle: I don’t know. But I don’t like it.
(Back in the corridors. Chip’s trying to remind Adam of his humanity)
Chip: sir. It’s okay. You can come back from this. No one is beyond redemption. No one is beyond saving.
Adam: I remember you.
Chip: yes! You do know. You’ve known me all my life. I’m
Adam: the dead little cripple
Chip: yes I’m....what?
(Adam flings Chip into a wall, killing him instantly. This is, of course, witnessed by Ben, Belle and the rest of the staff)
Mrs Potts: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Adam: now for the rest of the traitors
(Right at that moment Verna teleports in between Adam and the others and creates a woven barrier, cutting off Adam from the others)
Verna: you will NOT hurt anybody else. Not if I have anything to say about it.
Adam: Verna. Long time no see. Have you come to join the winning team? Or do I need to twist your easily broken arm again?
Verna: you will let me have my say. Then I put an end to your insanity. Once and for all.
Adam: you don’t have the guts. You didn’t have the guts then. And you don’t have the guts now. Face it. Gnat. You are beholden to me
Verna: I have thought about what we did-
Adam: what you did.
Verna:-on your orders. For 23 years. It needs to end
Adam: to soothe your aching soul(?) Get over yourself.
Verna: you just don’t get it do you? And I don’t think you ever did.
(This is when “for the rest of my life” happens. After the song. Adam shatters Verna’s neck and throws her corpse in the wall where Chip’s corpse is. He then walks straight through the woven barrier and advances on Belle and Ben)
Adam: well that was fun. But now I think it’s time for a family reunion. Don’t you?
(He teleports the three of them to the dining room and straps his son and ex wife to chairs facing each other)
Adam: there’s no use denying Benjamin. You disappointed me. You could’ve enacted Prima Nocta. Hiked up taxes for those freeloading sidekicks. Declared yourself a Godking. But no. You decided to be altruistic. Where the hell did I go wrong? Oh wait. I know
(He rounds on Belle)
Adam: I LET YOU RAISE HIM!!!! You withheld capital punishment. You let him mingle with the plebs. He could’ve been Henry VIII. But thanks to you he’s Charles III.
Ben: you stay away from her!
Adam: Ben, buddy, the adults are talking. So stay quiet!
(He waves his hand and buttons Ben’s mouth shut. Ben just puffs the button away)
Ben: you remember that I have magic right? And besides. Given that I’m a Hybrid. I’m probably already a “Godking”. As you so eloquently put it(.)
Adam: DON’T YOU BACKTALK ME YOU LITTLE BOLLOCKS!!!! Mama’s survival depends on you being the dutiful son you never were
Ben: what?
Adam (tittering): oh you don’t know do you? I have found a new partner
Ben: Yeah. We know. Maleficent told us. The psychotic bitch has also told us that she’s only started reciprocating while she’s using Audrey as a leisure suit. Which you have mercifully rejected.
Adam: the guise she is operating under is, admittedly, regrettable. But never fear. Once we’ve won and wed. You and that girl, if it can even be called that, can never marry. Step siblings and all that. You know how it is.
Ben: yes. Yes I do. But you clearly don’t. You still haven’t connected the dots yet, have you? Maleficent is not going to let you rule with her. After Mal you’re her biggest target. All Mal did was choose to be good to the best of her ability. But you. You resurrected her. You trapped her on Neverland. Yeah, we know about that too. And you still think, after 23 years, after you’ve fallen for that woman, that it’s not going to bite you in the ass. I mean. How insane can you possibly get?
Adam: wait and see. When we win
Ben: if you win
Adam: WHEN we win. You will see. The both of you will see. All of you will.
Belle: this is why I divorced you. Everything needs to be on your terms. No compromise. No losses. No admitting you’re wrong. Honestly. You just got worse after you created Auradon.
Ben: yeah well you know what happens when the ill-equipped get almost absolute power
Belle: they get corrupted absolutely
Ben: yup
Adam: ENOUGH!!!!
(This is when “you’ll be back” happens. After the song. Ben looks furious)
Ben: you’re INSANE!!!!
Adam (somewhat contemplatively): am I insane? I don’t think I am. Do they think I am? No. Nonono. No. I’m just as sane as anyone. I’m just trying to fix what’s been broke. It’s not my fault that they can’t see it. After all. I’ve gone semi-crazy before. But Belle saved me. And then she left me. And humiliated me. And took me for evERY CENT THAT I HAVE!!!! YOU DON’T KNOW CRAZY MY BOY UNLESS YOU’VE BEEN CRAZY!!!!
Ben (icily calm): I have you for a father. How much more crazy can somebody get?
Adam (shakily): you. You don’t listen. You never listened. You kept trying to do it your way. You didn’t do it the right way. It has to be done the right way. Over and over again until it’s perfected
Ben: that’s half of what Einstein said is the very definition of insanity. Face it, Adam, you’ve lost it.
Adam: only once. And never again.
(This is when “crazy” happens. After the song. Ben blasts Adam away, gets up and instantly heals his injuries)
Adam: how did. How did you-
Ben: Hybrid. Now. Are you going to continues your ballistic tirade. Or can I kill you now?
(Adam bellows and charges at Ben, who sidesteps which cause Adam to torpedo himself right into the wall face first)
Ben: would you like to try that again?
(Adam roars and sends maroon fire at Ben’s face. Who just blows it out in midair air)
Ben: parlour tricks. Would you like to see some real magic?
(Ben splits himself in two. Then three. Then four. Then five. Until they’re a hundred of him surrounding Adam in a crescent circle)
Ben (with the voice of a legion): ready for more, father?
(Adam, absolutely pants shittingly terrified, backs himself back into the wall and shakes his head profusely)
Ben (still with the voice of a legion): well you’ve lost your right to have a say.
(All 100 Bens reach inside Adam’s chest and start squeezing his aorta until Adam starts fighting back. The skirmish is brief but vicious. All the injuries being on Adam’s body)
Adam (force choking Ben): ENOUGH!!!! I WILL HAVE MY THRONE BACK!!!! I WILL HAVE MY KINGDOM BACK!!!! I WILL HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!! AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!
(Ben throws off the force choking and slams Adam back into the wall”
Ben: what is it that you always told me? “I want” doesn’t get. Well it’s all mine now. The responsibility. The power to make change and make decisions. All of it
Adam: I’ll get it all back once I kill you. I’ll kill you all.
Ben: no. You won’t. I’m going to put you somewhere you can never hurt anyone ever again.
(This is when “emperor’s new clothes” happens. After the song. Ben wakes up in one of the schools corridors)
Ben: where the hell am I?
(A few doors down he can hear Adam’s voice telling some people to hurry up and sit down)
Ben: no fucking way.
(He follows the voice and is led to his old fourth grade classroom)
Past!Adam (jovially): c’mon in son don’t be shy. Front says ready and waiting for ya
Ben: th-thanks dad.
9 year old!Audrey: Benji! Sit next to me
9 year old!Chad: he’s my best friend. He’s gonna sit next to me
Ben (sitting between them): you’re not my best friend. Doug is.
Chad: heh?
Ben: nothing.
Adam: you three settled? Good. Good. Now. I have asked Fairy Godmother to allow me to teach you this period. And she has graciously accepted my request. And today. We. Are going to learn. About. Villains. Wretched. Horrible. Villains. Who have enslaved, entrapped and extorted your mothers. And who I. Have encased in a barrier. Can you say that word guys? Ba-Ri-Er. Barrier.
Chad: Barbara.
Ben: that’s your cat Chad
Audrey: barber
Ben: old timey hairdressers your dad goes to Audrey.
Adam: now, now son. It’s okay. How about we just call it the wall for the time being? Hm? You know what it is. But do you know why it’s there? And why we need to keep it up and intact?
(This is when “why do we build the wall” happens. After the song. Ben storms out of the room and straight into his mother’s path)
Ben: what are you doing here?
Belle: Elsa.
Ben: of course
Belle: where are we?
Ben: my memories. But it’s odd. Usually you can see yourself in your memories. But I think I’ve taken my place.
Belle: what?
Ben: um. I’ll explain later. Oh great(.)
Belle: what’s happening? What’s wrong?
Ben: the scene’s melting. We must be going to a new memory.
(He’s right. The walls. The windows. The floor. Everything around them is melting into a memory. Eventually they’re in Adam’s office. Only it’s not a memory that Ben’s aware of)
Ben: i don’t understand.
Belle: pardon?
Ben: I don’t remember this at all. Did I block it out or something? Was I too young? Why don’t I remember this?
Belle: These aren’t your memories.
Ben: what? Whose are they then?
Belle: your fathers. But I remember this day. It was one of the best days of my life. Here I am now.
(Past!Belle had stormed into the office)
Past!Belle: I’m leaving.
(Past!Adam doesn’t answer her)
Past!Belle: I mean it. I can’t take it anymore. The guilt is eating me alive. I want you to come with me. But I’ll go alone if I have to. I just. I need to do something to fix this. Oh god. Would you please just LISTEN TO ME!!!!
(Her husband finally looks at her)
Past!Adam: sweetheart. Could you be a dear and ask Lumiere to put out by mauve suit with the jade tie? Thank you.
Past!Belle: Adam! Please. Listen to me. This is important.
Past!Adam: I’m sure it is. But can it please wait until later? Please? I just. I really neeed to finish this. It’s for all of us you know. You, me, everyone. Please. Then, later, we can talk about whatever you want. Thank you
(He goes back to his work)
Past!Belle: I don’t believe you. How could you have changed so much? It’s only been three years.
(This is when “later never comes” happens. After the song. Ben and Belle are back in a hallway)
Ben: what was that all about?
Belle: that was. The first time I tried to leave him
Ben: okay. So why didn’t you?
Belle: because. Two days after that. I found out that I was pregnant.
Ben: holy shit.
Belle: yup.
Ben: you stayed because you wanted me to have two parents.
Belle: partly. And partly because. I thought you might be better than him. And I was right.
Ben: wow.
(Just then. Cogsworth goes hurrying past them)
Belle: oh no.
Ben: what?
Belle: I remember this.
Ben: what is it?
Belle: this is. This is the day. When he. We? He. He put the villains on the island.
Ben: fucking hell.
Belle (hesitantly): do you want to see it? We don’t have to if you don’t want to. You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Ben: I’ve already seen it haven’t I? So I don’t need to see it again
Belle (in a faraway voice): but not from his perspective yet.
Ben: do we. Do we need to?
Belle: I. I don’t know
(Adam goes walking past them with a hoard of reporters)
Ben: but it looks like it’s out of our hands now. Let’s go.
(They start following Adam and the hoard of reporters)
Reporter: any words on this historic day your highness?
Adam: hmmmm. Just a few
(This is when “this is the moment” happens. After the song. Ben looks like he’s about to throw up)
Belle: I am so, so sorry.
Ben: it was televised?
Elsa (appearing behind them): yes. It was on. Every. Single. Channel that day. You couldn’t escape it.
Ben: get. Us. Out of here. Now!
(Elsa grips them by the shoulders and teleports them back to the dining hall. Where Adam is still unconscious. Ben conjures a knife and goes for Adam’s head)
Elsa: no wait don’t!
Ben: are you seriously saying he deserves to live afyer everything he’s done?
Elsa: no. What I’m saying is. You shouldn’t be the one to kill him. I accidentally killed my sister once. It’s weighed on me ever since. Imagine how you would feel if you did that on purpose?
Ben: oh.
Elsa: both of you go back to the war room. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Go!
(Ben teleports himself and Belle out of the dining hall. Elsa, reluctantly, wakes Adam up)
Adam: wazzit-was-what ha-did I win?
Elsa: no, Adam, you did not win. You were never going to win. You lost. As you were always going to. Now stand still while I execute you.
Adam: YOU COST ME MY VICTORY YOU FRIGID BITCH!!!!
(He lunges at Elsa who neatly sidesteps him and roots him to the spot of magic)
Elsa (threading magic through the gaps in her fingers on her right hand): it’s funny. I’ve caused untold destruction with my magic by accident. I wonder what I can do to you on purpose
(She concentrates the magical threads into a ball of ice and forces it into Adam’s mouth and down his gullet. His face turns icy blue and starts to flash freeze from the inside out. The freezing si reads through his body until he’s nothing more than a statue of solid ice, screaming out in silent pain. Elsa looks unmoved)
Elsa: hm. Pretty. Almost seems a shame to destroy it. Ah well.
(She soars her right arm through Adam’s iced up head. And be crumbles to frozen rubble at her feet. She melts the ice into nothingness and teleports back to the war room. As soon as she appears in the war room. A wave of turquoise light washes over the palace, sending Ben into the table, laughing his ass off)
Belle: what the hell was that?
Elsa: if I’ve read the books properly. Then was a wave of grief.
Belle: then why is Ben cackling like the joker?
Elsa: because, I do believe that the person who’s died is a person that your son truly hates.
Ben (still cackling): O FRABJOUS DAY!!!! CALLOOH CALLAY!!!! OH MAL MUST BE SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!! Uma must be in pain if the wave was that powerful. But still. HAHAH!!!!
Belle: Ben! Why are you so happy that someone’s died?
Ben (still chortling gleefully with a mad glint in his eyes): don’t you get it mother. It’s Harry. Harold. Icarus. Hook. Is dead.
(Far above the palace. Mal’s just been hit with Uma’s grief wave. The realisation that Harry must be dead has made her so happy that’s she’s doing complicated acrobatics through the air. She decides to share in her newfound joy and launch an aerial assault on the villains. No one notices Ned Thatch carrying Uma to safety on a Martag outside the barrier though. This is when “defying gravity” happens)

Legally Blondes (2009)
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
Calling Legally Blondes an insult might sound like an overreaction, but hear me out. This film is cheap, badly acted and poorly written. It attempts to cash-in on the popularity of Legally Blonde while featuring none of the characters we fell in love with. Worst of all, it doesn't even understand the appeal of the series, meaning it had no chance of pleasing its intended audience.
Elle’s twin cousins, Annabelle “Annie” and Isabelle “Izzy” Woods (Camilla and Rebecca Rosso) move to America with their father to study at Pacific Preparatory. Their love of punk and family reputation draws the ire of Headmistress Elsa Higgins (Lisa Banes) while the school bully, Tiffany Donohugh (Brittany Curran), sets out to get them expelled.
This is clearly another script re-worked to be part of the Legally Blonde franchise. The twins are not attending law school, they’re given chihuahuas at the beginning but the dogs play no part in the story and there are no familiar faces to be found. Not even Elle. That’s right. Reese Witherspoon does not make an appearance. References to her character are made and the twins stay in her home while she’s away but if you sit through the end credits hoping to see a cameo, you’ll be disappointed. Instead, you’ll see something I’ve never seen before: the movie’s deleted scenes. They play while the names scroll. I guess director Savage Steve Holland knew no one would bother to check out this disaster’s special features but wanted us to see them nonetheless.
2001's Legally Blonde is not a perfect comedy but it has a lot of appeal. Although she didn’t fit initially, Elle had a good head on her shoulders. She had a few things to learn but ultimately, law school was where she belonged. The same can’t be said for the twins. It’s obvious to everyone watching that Tiffany hates them but every time the conniving brat approaches the sisters to give “helpful advice”, they accept it. Her true colours are first revealed when the girls show up at a party in inappropriate outfits. Sound familiar? I’d say spoiler but if you’ve seen Legally Blonde you saw that one coming. You’ll see everything coming, in fact. Izzy and Annie are introduced with title cards that describe what their character arcs will be. One can’t stand public speaking. The other is terrible at history. How profound.
You’ll be so bored you’ll want to stab yourself in the leg just to stay awake. Legally Blondes does nothing interesting until 2/3 of the way in when the plot FINALLY kicks off. It’s a school trial. Ah, so that’s where the title comes from. Took you long enough. This is where the film could have earned itself some points. At least now there’s a clear thread to follow. There are stakes and in theory, figuring out how our heroines will win the case should be fun. Too bad the screenplay by Chad Gomez Creasey and Dara Resnik Creasey can’t even do that right. The jokes are so terribly executed you won’t understand the punchlines until the movie is a distant memory and certain ideas introduced earlier that should be important turn out to be useless, making you feel like you're wasting your time paying attention.
Legally Blondes has no reason to exist. It won’t please fans of the series, it won’t win over anyone who didn’t like Elle previously. The apathy everyone had for the project is obvious. There are numerous logical gaps, the funny jokes are rarer than four-leaf clovers and there’s little to like. I’d say there’s nothing to like but it does get slightly better as it goes along. Not enough for me to recommend, mind you. Not to anyone. Not ever. (July 31, 2020)

Ask for the witches: How would y'all react if someone did a love confession to you?
Aha! Well well, I’ll put it in a context where they don’t already have partners
Gertrud would be shy but happy, a little bashful. “You really feel that way..? I feel that way too!” She thinks of herself as a bit of a burden so if shown any love she is surprised but pleased someone still likes her
Suleika would probably feel either very overwhelmed or excited but not show it. She’d probably answer with a simple yes or no but there’s fireworks going off inside her
Charlotte would be overjoyed, the thought of a fairytale romance is a dream come true to her. Of course, its just a kiddy romance and she’d probably ditch you for someone cooler quickly
Elly would be a hard one to get to. She’s been hurt by unrequited love before. You probably wouldn’t even get the chance to see her to confess because she wouldn’t show up or would run away at the first sight of you. She probably wouldn’t believe it at first but if she trusts you wholly, she’d be very happy
Albertine is similar to Charlotte but she doesnt quite get it yet. “You love me? I love you too!” She loves everyone!
Gisela would most likely decline any confession. Like Elly, she’s been hurt by love before and wont want a relationship until she finds that special person. But she’d be very kind about letting you down softly
Elsa Maria would be very shy yet excited. No one has ever asked her out before so its a big thing. She’d probably tell her parents as soon as she got home. Theres a very low chance she’d reject anyone as she’s too kind, she’d give anyone a chance but would know when to break it off
Uhrmann wouldn’t believe you at first, she’d think it was a prank or joke. She doesn’t believe she’s worthy of love because of how she’s been treated growing up. She’s hard to reach and doesn’t always say how she really feels. You’d have to be persistant to get to her good side
Oktavia is very romantic so would absolutely accept a confession. She’d run into love blindly but maybe after a while realise its not quite the right thing. Every other time, she’s calm and collected, but with love she sometimes acts a total fool.
Izabel is the total opposite of Elsa Maria, she will most likely not accept anyone’s confession. She is waiting for the perfect person. And that person has to do everything for her and give her plenty of compliments.
Patricia wouldn’t accept anything. She’s not ready for that commitment but would let you down gently
Roberta, like Oktavia, would dive headfirst into a relationship without thinking it through. She’s desperate for love. Unfortunately, she’s not a good judge of character so often ends up with the wrong crowd.
Kriemhild is very shy like Madoka but still daydreams about her ideal crush. She'd accept a confession from anyone as long as they're kind.
Walpurgisnacht would have very high standards. She cares less about love but more about someone who could look after her children with her. She's much rather someone she already knows confesses to her otherwise she's hesitant to give them a chance
Candeloro is quite a romantic girl so adores the thought of getting a partner. She, like Walpurgis, would want someone who's good with kids so that looking after Charlotte could be easier.
