#so I'll have to redo it till it gives me the only one I use ever

[overlyimmersed]

Oh my gosh! I made a whole post about Gloxinia's wings and never even mentioned the most important part!

There is one more thing about this his wings that seem to be abnormal! Haven't seen it on any other fairy, that I can recall.

There's a portion at the base of his wings, where they attach to his back that's skin colored. And it super grosses me out for some reason. XD

Though, this isn't present on his Grand Cross model, despite being there in Grand Cross art work

MASTERLIST

Like Callie said she met up with the others after being home for a bit and they catch her up on how screwed they really are. "How the hell are we gonna get that type of money?" Callie messes with her nails as she leans against the railing.

"Why are you here anyways?" JJ speaks up messing with a knife sitting alone.

"Excuse me?" She looks at him, "I'm part of this group still. Sorry I went off for a while to get a break from everything."

"She's still part of the group, dude." John B tells him.

"Who's friends with Rafe still after everything. What was it only 18 months ago you two were hooking up. Staying on figure 8 with him just to get over me."JJ chuckles so Callie walks over slapping him across the face.

"I had nowhere else to go! Remember that? So fuck you. And you're really pushing it to where I don't even want to be friends with you anymore." She leaves the group going home.

"At least see if you can get money out of the psychopath!" He shouts as she gets in her car. Everyone looks over at JJ wondering why the hell he was acting that way, "What? I'm right. It's fucking Rafe." He looks at everyone.

"Don't you think you're pushing it?" Kiara sighs so JJ laughs more.

"Don't say anything you might regret." Pope points his finger at JJ so JJ gets up to go on a walk alone while everyone sighs.

Sarah shakes her head watching JJ in the distance, "Trust me, I get what he means when it comes to my brother but he's out of line with Callie. What the hell happened to him?" She looks at everyone.

John B and Pope can't help but glance over to Kiara, "Seriously?" She glares at them.

"Well, if I remember correctly. You did develop feelings for JJ when they were together and y'all almost kissed and didn't tell her about it. So I was the good friend who told her. And now you and JJ are a couple because Callie didn't get back with him." Pope can't help but tell the truth.

"We aren't together just because she didn't take him back." Kiara crosses her arms and the others avoid eye contact with her, "That's what you guys believe?! I'm not being used for him to get over her."

"Kie, we didn't say that last part. You did." John B gives her a look, "It obvious JJ has feeling for you too. That's why everything happened in the first place."

As everyone slowly splits apart do their own thing for the day, Callie was arriving home and sees Sofia waiting on her porch. "Hey, hey!" She stands up once Callie gets out of her car. "Rafe, may have told me your address. I thought we could hangout? I don't really have people to hang out with besides from Rafe. I don't really care for the other Kooks."

"I'm with you on that last half." Callie laughs, "We can hangout here. I don't mind. My room is still a slight mess though because I was redoing it." Callie lets her know.

"I don't mind. I'll even help you out with your room." Sofia smiles, "Nice house by the way. The best on the Cut." She follows Callie inside.

"My dad is a Kook and he built this. Have no idea where he is now. Rafe might know. It's just me and my aunt Tess that live here. Aunt Tess!" Callie shouts to find her.

"Cleaning the bathroom!"

"There's someone I want you to meet!" They shout back and forth till Tess joins them. "This is Sofia. She works at the country club and is also friends with Rafe."

"Rafe is friends with another Pogue?" Tess was shocked. She didn't count Barry as one because the two weren't exactly friend friends. "Callie, you really did rewire some of his brain."

"Yep. But we'll be in my room." Callie leads the way.

"Nice meeting you Sofia!"

The two girls got to really know each other while finishing up the room and they were surprised at how well Rafe said they would get along. Just a few hours seemed like years of friendship.

At the same time as things look bleak for the group, they soon received attention for their El Dorado discovery and were hailed as heroes.

"An expedition of one man, John Routledge, and a group of teenagers, who are with us today. Locals, who grew up here and who succeeded where centuries of conquistadors, explorers, and admirals failed. Today, we come together to celebrate these teens, friends from both sides of the island who came together to solve this five-year-old mystery. Let's hear it for them!"

The crowd applauds and cheers for the group as they sit there then stand up give the crowd a smile.

"Okay, I need a reset. I need a reset right now. This is a lot. It's time to celebrate." JJ says as the group go stand together away from everyone.

"I'll take one hit. One." Pope tells him, "One."

"Bad man now." Cleo looks at him.

"Big John would've thought this was all bullshit." Sarah laughs.

"Excuse me. I... I don't mean to interrupt." A man walks over to them.

"Uh, can we help you?"

"Yes. I wanted to tell you all it's remarkable what you all did. Royal Merchant, El Dorado, Denmark Tanny. Impressive résumé, impressive. I was wondering if you would all be so kind as to look at an item of mine." The man passes over a book and Pope takes it.

"Oh yeah? What type of item is that?"

It's a manuscript. I would investigate it myself, but I'm too long in the tooth. I need partners, and you all were first on my list.

"This is a captain's log." John B looks at the man.

"Who is the captain?" JJ asks.

"Edward Teach. Blackbeard." And that all lead the group to an invitation to Wes Genrette's old estate to discuss Blackbeard.

On the way to goat island, they talk about the past and all the rumors about the people from there. "Okay, why are we doing this again?" Cleo asks the group.

"Because we need money." Pope, Sarah, and Callie tell her at the same time.

Once they dock at the island they are lead up to the house and they meet the son in law of Wes, Chandler Groff, who lets them in the house.

The group was uneasy, especially when Wes arrives and tells them a bizarre story about Blackbeard and Elizabeth, claiming a ghost had visited him. Wes explains that the group needs to retrieve an amulet from Blackbeard's last ship, the Adventure, to lift a 300-year-old family curse. That the amulet is hidden off Goat Island, and Wes offers them $50,000 with $5,000 upfront to recover it.

While they discuss if they should take the deal or not JJ decides for the whole group telling Wes they'll do it, "Now, that initial 5k, is that that right there?" JJ walks over to Groff, who hands over the money.

"Hey, you know what? Actually, I think I'll take this for safekeeping." Pop takes the money from JJ.

"You won't regret this, sir. I promise you. We'll get the job done." JJ shakes Geoff's hand.

As the group leaves the island, Sofia texts Callie to invite her to the party she was at with Rafe. Callie tells her she'll show up in a bit when they get back to the island.

When they do get back, Callie goes home to change into something nice before heading to the party. She honestly didn't want to be at a Kook party but she wanted to see Sofia. And plus Rafe wouldn't let anyone give her shit.

"I don't remember you being inviting to the party." Ruthie sees Callie walk through the doors stopping her.

"Oh, but I was." Callie gives her a smile.

"Are you giving me an attitude, bitch?" Ruthie asks as Sofia spots Callie so she tells Rafe to look who showed up.

Rafe smiles walking over to the two, "What a surprise!" He hugs her so Ruthie walks away. "How did you know about Toppers party?"

"Sofia invited me." She tells him so he looks over at Sofia, who gives him a smile as well. "I feel like I need a friend that's not any of the others, you know?" She means the six.

Rafe nods his head, "I get it. Let me know if anyone gives you shit." He leaves her so she goes over to Sofia.

"You didn't tell Rafe I was coming?" Callie laughs joining her side.

"I may have forgotten to tell him." Sofia plays with her drink then sees how Callie was looking at her, "What? I can't surprise him with you?"

"What's going on?" Callie asks confused, "I thought you had a thing for Rafe? That's what I was picking up when we first met. Now you are surprising him with me?"

Sofia grabs Callie's hand to bring her closer to her, "You weren't wrong. I did have a thing for him but I know he still has feelings for you and it's the same for you. I care about Rafe and I want to be his friend."

"Sofia, Rafe knows I want to focus on myself." Callie tells her.

"I get that. I do, but just see what happens without forcing yourself not to. Listen, I know it's not my business but Rafe was ranting to me and then hearing what you said that day... If JJ is doing well with Kie...why can't you try with Rafe? Just think about it." Sofia tells her before excusing herself to go use the bathroom.

Callie looks over at Rafe getting more to drink before looking away downing her drink. She hated how Sofia had a tiny point. Maybe she should just see what happens without telling herself no.

"Fuck it." Callie walks over to where was talking with a woman.

"Oh hi." The lady smiles, "Who's this?" She asks Rafe.

"This is Callie." Rafe moves her closer to him, "Callie this is Miss Hollis." He introduces them.

"The biggest Realtor on the island." Callie knows of her, "I believe you helped my dad a long time ago."

Hollis tilts her head not knowing, "William Warner, is her father." Rafe tells Hollis.

"Oh yes!" Hollis remembers him, "He was great before he went a little...you know."

"Yeah." Callie nods her head.

"Well it was nice meeting you. And take care Rafe." Hollis leaves the two.

"What did she want with you?" Callie asks him.

"You jealous?" He jokes with her.

"Yeah, what did she offer you?" She laughs shaking her head at him.

"It depends... What do you think? After all she's a cougar too." He pokes at her.

"You are so stupid." She swats his hand away, "I'm gonna go find Sofia." She tries to walk off but he wraps his arms around her playfully.

"No, I haven't seen you in months. You can spend time with me."

"Hey, I'm here aren't I?" She turns around looking up at him, "At a Kook party... Topper's party at that. The guys already hate that I get along with you, and they would hate it even more if they knew I'm with people who hate us."

"You just get along with me? What happened to being your friend?" He laughs as she just looks at him before smiling.

"You just wanna be my friend?" She asks him and he looks at her getting a little confused.

"Huh?"

Callie giggles, "Let's just see what happens." She sees Sofia watching them so he gets out of Rafe's arms, "I'm gonna go hangout with your wingman." As Callie joins Sofia's side, she couldn't help but smile, "Why are you smiling?" Callie asks her.

"Nothing."

"Nothing my ass." Callie laughs.

"So are you taking my advice?" Sofia hands Callie a drink.

"I'm just going with the flow and we'll see what happens." Callie tells her before taking a sip of her drink.

"Hopefully there's no stop signs or yield signs." Sofia makes Callie laugh.

Rafe looks over at the two giggling and talking. He couldn't believe two people he's hooked up with were getting along so well. He couldn't even believe Sofia was actually helping him out with Callie.

After a few more hours of chatting with Sofia and Rafe at times, Callie decided to head on home. Sofia gives her a hug and hopes they can hangout alone again soon. Rafe gives her a hug as well and tells her thanks for swinging by Topper's party.

"Where were you to be dressed up?" Tess laughs as Callie comes in through the front door.

"Sofia, invited me to Topper's party to hangout with her and Rafe."

"And how was that?" Tess pays close attention to her.

"Alright. Sofia is still nice to hangout with." Callie heads to the kitchen to get a drink.

"And Rafe?" Tess asks following her into the kitchen.

"What about Rafe?"

"Anything change or still just friends?" Tess chuckles a bit.

"I'm going with the flow. I thought I should take Sofia's advice. I mean, JJ and Kie are working out so..."

"Why not try with Rafe." Tess finishes the sentence so Callie nods her head.

Ethan Landry x Reader

musical theatre lovers ofc!

you're rehersing 'Someone Gets Hurt' from Mean Girls the Musical in preparation for your schools Musical and then a time skip to a dress rehearsal.

Chad and Tara get to watch because they're working on the set or something idk..

He's not ghostface**

"No, Tara, I'm actually terrified." I tell her as I pull on my shoes, quickly doing up the laces.

"Why? You're only singing, then kissing and then singing again. It's no big deal." She states and I shake my head.

"It's more than that!" I gasp and she scoffs.

"You know I like him!" I exclaim, and she laughs, clearly not understanding why I'm so nervous.

"Then use it to your advantage, make as many mistakes as you can so you can redo it over and over." She tells me with a serious but joking tone.

"I can't do that. He'll know something is up." I argue, and she sighs and throws her arms around.

"Well, I'll be there watching, so I'll just keep shouting to retry the kiss or something. You got this, trust me, ethan is head over heels for you." Tara states.

Ethan and I stand on the stage watching Tara and Chad, who both walk to the back row of the audience and find seats before flashing us a thumbs up.

"Can you hear me?" I call being quite loud, forgetting about my microphone.

"Yep, perfect!" Tara screams.

"Do you have the backing track on your phone?" I ask ethan, and he fumbles into his trouser pocket and pulls out his phone, his hands are clearly shaking.

Good, hopefully he's as nervous as I am.

"For the kiss, don't be scared to do it over the top, Tara and Chad won't be able to see it as well as the people down the front row would." He says as he presses play on the backing track, not giving me time to register what he just said.

The first part of the song goes amazingly, I remember all the blocking, doing it the best that i can without the other people on the stage and don't ever miss timings, but it's when the kissing part nears closer that the nerves fill my body.

I now stand facing Ethan directly, but our bodies are facing the audience more than facing each other.

"It's fine for you, it's fine to flirt." I sing as I take a step closer to Ethan, his eyes not leaving mine.

"And God, you're hot. Why do you even wear a shirt?" I continue to sing as I grab his shirt and pull him closer to me.

"No, it's fine." We now both sing, his voice harmonising with mine almost perfectly.

"Damn, you're fine." He goes onto sing, one of his hands falling onto my shoulder.

"Damn, you're fine." I sing, taking another slight step closer to him as I stare up at him, were both turning pink, probably just nerves, though.

"And it's fine." We both sing, our voices really so sound nice together.

Okay this is it.

"Till someone gets -" I sing before wrapping my arms around ethans neck and pulling his face down towards mine, our lips instantly meeting in a kiss, that he deepens as he wraps his arms around my waist.

We continue this making out for another ten seconds before I pull away almost missing my next cue.

"Till someone gets hurt." I sing facing ethan.

"Till someone gets hurt." I then sing, facing the audience which only consists of Chad and Tara who are both looking equally as gobsmacked as each other, and then the music fades.

"Holy shit!" Tara screams as she stands up from her seat and makes her way down the middle aisle, giggling and clapping.

"That was so good!" Chad yells as he follows Tara, but he's not giggling or clapping. He just looks insanely proud.

"Any bad comments?" Ethan asks with a nervous laugh from beside me.

"The kiss." Chad and Tara say in usion, and I burst out laughing.

"It was too awkward! Your characters are exs, meaning they've kissed like that tons of times before." Tara tells us as she takes a seat in the front row.

"That doesn't help us make the kiss less awkward." I argue shooting her a small smile, but I try to hide it from ethan.

"Just pretend you are together in real life." Chad says, and as I look at him, I see him wink at Ethan.

"It's not that easy-" Ethan goes to argue.

"Just try it! From the line before the kiss." Tara yells, and ethan grabs his phone from the floor and plays about with the backing track until it's like thirty seconds before the kiss and we get in our places.

"Till someone gets -" I sing, and this time, Ethan pulls me in closer towards him first, his lips instantly meeting mine before I wrap my arms around his neck, one of my hands making their way to his hair, the kiss deepens and before I get carried away I pull away and sing the last two lines.

"I like Ethan starting the kiss more." Chad says, pointing at us, and Tara nods her head in agreement.

"Any homework? I've got Econ in ten minutes." Ethan says as he grabs his phone and checks the time.

"Yeah, you two need to get used to kissing each other." Tara says, trying to stop her laughs.

"Get behind the curtain and start practicing." She then adds and ethan and I both look at her in shock.

"She's not joking. Move." Chad announces, and I quickly walk off the stage, heading backstage whilst laughing.

"That was.. awkward." Ethan sighs and I nod.

"Kinda funny, though." I add and then he nods.

"We sounded really good together, though. You're such a great singer, I mean, I didn't even know you sung until we all got cast." Ethan tells me and I smile proudly.

"I told Tara I had auditioned for Regina, and she told me you were auditioning for Aaron, and I thought she was lying, I mean no offence but you're so shy, I wouldn't have thought theatre was your thing." I admit, and he laughs nervously before looking down at his phone.

"I need to go, I have Econ." Ethan reminds me, and I take a second to process what I'm about to say before I blurt it out.

"Quick kiss practice before you go?" I blurt, and ethans eyes widen slightly, but he shrugs and steps closer to me, this kiss is much shorter than the one on the stage because he needs to go, but it's still a kiss.

"See you at next rehearsal." I call as he speedwalks away.

Dress Rehersal

"Is everyone in their positions!?" Miss Higgins, my theatre teacher yells from the audience and everyone who is on the stage, including ethan, and I all shout yes.

"This will be our last rehearsal of the night, shows in one week, guys, but don't stress, you've all got this!" She continues to yell.

"Break a leg!" Tara screams from the back row, and we all have a small laugh before the song starts.

This is much better. Everyone who's on the stage remembers their blocking and the timings of their movements and its a smooth run.

"It's fine for you. It's fine to flirt." I sing as I circle around Ethan, eyeing him up and down.

"And God, you're hot!" I continue to sing as I now stop in front of him.

"Why do you even wear a shirt?" I sing as I grab at his sports Jersey.

"No, it's fine." We both go onto harmonise, our voices blending as well as my favourite smoothie.

"Damn, you're fine." Ethan sings with a smile as he cups my face with his hand.

"Damn, you're fine." I sing back, my hand reaching up and grabbing his shoulder.

"And it's fine." We both sing, closing the gap between us.

"Till someone gets -" I sing as ethan cuts me off, pressing his lips against mine as my arms wrap around his neck and both of his hands cup my face, we stay in this position, deepening the kiss until I pull away.

"Till someone gets hurt." I sing looking at Cadys actor Becky.

"Till someone gets hurt." I then belt, looking at the audience (Tara, Chad, and Miss Higgins), who are all clapping, until Chad and Tara begin pointing at where Ethan was previously standing so I turn to the side confused but that's when I see everyone who is in the background of this song holding signs.

"What?" I ask quietly because all the signs are backwards, so I can't see what they say.

"You can turn them now." Ethan says from behind me, and they all start turning the signs around.

Will

You

Be

My (Ethan)

Girlfriend? (Y/n)

I gasp as I read what the signs spell out and turn around to face Ethan, who has a bouquet of flowers in his hand and the biggest smile on his face.

"Yes!" I scream.

[antispopausandstuff]

me explaining an animatic i would wanna make if i had the energy for it ( long cuz i love talking, apparently )

.

[ warning - implied s__cide, near the end ]

in the faraway future, if i ever have the motivation, i might do an animatic to 'Lullaby for a Princess', as sort of a ( roundabout, i will admit ) reimagining to Catra's apology // turnaround.

ofc, all the lyrics don't fit the situation, so i'd have to figure out how to rewrite those, but the intended result is basically how i would've preferred Catra's 'redemption' to go down ( dying for the person she hurt most, without making a spectacle of it ).

here's how it'd go down in my mind:

i think the story would start near the s4 finale, with a few details on DT's 'callout' scene changed ( esp switching Adora's and Scorpia's places ), and changing her behavior in s5 to be much more reluctant and less pitying. esp when talking to Glimmer.

by "fate has been cruel and order unkind", Catra is walking down the long, extending corridors, beginning on her recalling of events.

"how can i have sent you away?"

//

'how could i have pushed you away?'

"the blame was my own, the punishment yours" ( catra's leaving in s1 ep 2, spiraling into the extension of war, adora's mental and physical scars, the death of Angella, etc. )

"but into the stillness, i'll bring you a song and i will your company keep 'till your tired eyes and my lullabies have carried you softly to sleep" ( slowly transitioning into early Horde days, ep 1-era, where both were cadets )

now, the section where it says "she smiled and said, "surely, there is no pony so lovely and so well beloved as i"..." doesn't exactly fit either of them, due to Adora not having the self-confidence she needs and Catra knowing that ( despite her projecting onto Adora that she's an egotistical, attention-seeking person ).

so, in my mind, the lyrics here:

"once did a pony who shone like the sun look out on her kingdom and sigh she smiled and said "surely, there is no pony so lovely and so well beloved as i"..."

would either be younger Catra's twisted perspective of events, or i'd turn it into a moment that appears to be about Adora, but it's actually about Catra. the reason why i'm hesitant on using the first one is because it comes off as victim-blaming at the "which fell dark upon the young sister she loved" part, which is not the route i wanna go down for the story.

at the first "lullay, moon princess", it'd go back to the corridors with Catra, but she's looking through glass. memories of 'fights' ( she can't even call them that now ) flash as she walks through.

"Luna, you're loved so much more than you know forgive me for being so blind"

//

'Adora, i should've loved you more, i know forgive me for being so blind' ( Catra looking down in shame, clenching her fists )

-

'soon did that pony take notice that others did not give her sister her due and neither had she loved her as she deserved she watched as her sister's unhappiness grew'

//

'soon did that girl take notice that she did not give her sister her due and neither had she loved her as she deserved she watched as her sister's heartbreak grew' ( s1 ep 2 conflict )

-

"but such is the way of the limelight it sweetly takes hold of the mind of its host and that foolish pony did nothing to stop the destruction of one who had needed her most"

//

'but such is the way of the limelight it sweetly takes hold of the mind of its host and that foolish girl did nothing to stop the destruction to one who had needed her most' ( White Out )

the second "lullay, moon princess", it'd play out the interactions between them in s3, with a more elaborate fight ( cuz that was bullshi- ), Adora scuffed up, and Catra more vicious-looking. i'd probably make a 'before & after' sort of shot here, with s3 Catra walking away from Adora ( thus, opportunity ), with s5 Catra running 'towards' her ( thus, accepting her only chance ).

"and forgive me for being so blind" and the music following after would be a redoing of Angella's death. the blast goes off, the sword is left behind, Adora is staring into nothing for several seconds. and then the realization slowly settles in before she sobs into the void.

( ofc, Catra wouldn't know this is exactly how Adora reacted, but in my mind, the s3 finale where she glares at Catra would be with red-rimmed, glossed eyes, so it's implied what the idea would be regardless )

the "the years now before us" section would be Catra running to Glimmer's cell, the two fighting together, and getting to the teleporter, with images of Adora going through ( esp at "i'd face them on my own", with them back-to-back ).

"i love you, i miss you, all these miles away" would be Catra's quiet confession as a replacement for the 'there's no one left in the entire universe who cares about me' ( Glimmer wouldn't hear it, ofc ).

and for the rest of the song, Catra is captured herself.

she silently hopes for Adora to sleep peacefully, for once in her life, whether that be this night or the next. and daydreams that, in another life, that she wouldn't have been so selfish and hurt Adora, the one person who needed her.

knowing Horde Prime plans to use her, Catra refuses. she runs. she jumps. she falls.

"and when i dream, i'll fly away and meet you there"

the ending is her ghost seeing Adora reunited with her best friends.

she smiles.

Blue club's work

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: (Phew. It is surprisingly difficult to use a hole punch)

Saya: (The holes are easily misaligned, and if you put in too much paper at once, the paper will wrinkled-up…)

Saya: (But I think it's almost done somehow)

Saya: Ah, Fushimi-kun. I'm almost done here.

Fushimi: …What are you doing?

Saya: Eh, I was asked by Munakata-senpai to do something for him…

Saya: It's the hole-punching task for binding materials in a file, I guess?

Fushimi: Are you going to bind this material to this file?

Saya: …Ah.

Fushimi: Haaah…You klutz.

Saya: The holes are upside down…The cover and the contents are upside down.

Saya: S-Sorry!!

Fushimi: Tsk…There's no point in apologizing to me.

Saya: Y-You're right.

Saya: (Fushimi-kun is mad at me, I need to redo everything fast)

Fushimi: What are you waiting for? Let's get done with it.

Saya: Eh…?

Fushimi: Are you deaf?

Saya: Could it be, that you're going to help me…?

Fushimi: Tsk. I don't have a choice. We were paired up.

Saya: Thank you!

Fushimi: I'll start on this side of the pile, you do that side.

Saya: Uhm! Understood.

Saya: Hey, Fushimi-kun.

Fushimi: Ha?

Saya: What kind of activities does Fushimi-kun always do in the Blue club---?

Fushimi: If you have time to move your mouth, move your hands.

Fushimi: Whose fault is it that this is happened?

Saya: Sorry…

Fushimi: This one's done.

Saya: I'm also finished.

Saya: All right. I guess that's all.

Saya: Fushimi-kun, thank you so much for helping me.

Fushimi: I only did it because I had no choice, since we were paired up.

Fushimi: I won't do it next time.

Saya: Uhm, I'll be careful.

Fushimi: Let's hurry up and go submit it to the President.

Saya: I was going to ask earlier, but what kind of activities does Fushimi-kun do in the Blue club?

Fushimi: Didn't you heard the explanation from the President?

Saya: Uhm, I hear it, but I got curious about what Fushimi-kun does.

Fushimi: Haah…Patrolling the school, suppressing fights, giving instructions on every activity of the club and so on.

Saya: Heeh…That's cool. It feels like special works that only Blue club can do.

Fushimi: There's nothing so special about my work. It's part of the job.

Saya: I mean, of course I understand that this is also an important part of the our job.

Saya: It's a job that requires the use of special abilities that I can't yet do, that's why I admire it.

Fushimi: …

Saya: I know I have to be more concern about my ability, but…

Saya: Now that I've been allowed to join the Blue club, I want to face it properly and be able to control it.

Saya: I just want to do the best I can here.

Fushimi: What are you saying…You're the one who's doing even this level of work wrong.

Saya: Ahaha…That's right.

Saya: Next time, I'll be careful not to make any mistakes and not to cause any trouble for Fushimi-kun.

Saya: Fushimi-kun, that's enough for here. Thanks for carrying it!

Saya: It's my fault it took so long, why don't you go home first, Fushimi-kun?

Fushimi: Huh? It's our job to report. I'll do it till then.

Saya: Understood. But I will be the one to explain the reason why it took me so long.

Fushimi: It's obvious. Come on, let's go.

Saya: Haaa…I'm glad I didn't have to answer any specific questions.

Fushimi: There couldn't be much of them since we got the job done.

Saya: That's right. I thought the Blue club would be more strict, so I'm relieved.

Fushimi: That's good then.

Saya: Ah, Fushimi-kun! Thanks for the help. See you tomorrow!

Saya: (…Even though it was my mistake and despite the fact that we were paired together, Fushimi-kun stayed with me until the end)

Saya: (Fushimi-kun is a very responsible person.)

Saya: (He's not very approachable, and his way of speaking is cold sometimes, but…)

Saya: (I'd like to talk to him more and get to know Fushimi-kun better)

Shadowbriar's 2024 Valentine's Project

Hello, lovely people!

To celebrate the month of Love I will be accepting special request as my Valentine's project. I will start to post pieces for this project on the 14th of February. The requests I've received prior to this announcement will not be included as part of Shadowbriar's 2024 Valentine's Project.

Prompt ideas will be listed below should you find troubles finding a starting point but if you have your own ideas I would love to work and craft it with you. Don't be shy to send me your request and give as much details as you'd like. Characters are not limited to the ones I've written so just send me your requests!

A N G S T

"You know there will come a time where this wouldn't be enough, don't you?"

"Why are you telling me this? Why now? Why not before?"

"I'm sorry I broke our sacred law, but I love you."

"We accept the love we think we deserve." "And what does that mean? I am not deserving of you?"

"If only my memory was shot."

"That's the problem, isn't it? It's not that I didn't try hard enough or did I make a mistake, it's just that I'm not her/him."

"You know, what? I give up. I can't do this anymore." "About time, don't you think?"

"That's where you're wrong. I don't need you and I certainly don't love you."

"All I wanted was you."

"I love you." "I know."

"Don't look at me like that." "Like what?" "Like you're going to throw this wedding away for me."

"I love you, but I'm letting go."

"I think we need to address what's happening between us." "Don't. If we talk about it then we have to admit it's happening."

"We're wasting each other's time."

"I don't want to beg. Please don't make me beg for you."

F L U F F

"I wish people kiss like how it is in movies." "You don't like the way I kiss you?"

"Does your arm ever feel numb whenever I sleep on it?" "Does your lips ever get tired whenever I kiss it?"

"Tell me when you get home." "How can I? My home is literally you."

"I'll always have time for you, Love."

"I'm very tired. Do you mind running your hand through my hair till I fall asleep?"

"Are you.. Proposing?" "Shit, yeah I should've done that instead."

"Please, can I just have five minutes of silence?" "Five minutes? Do you hate me or something?"

"I miss you. I think I might die." "I've only been gone for an hour." "AN HOUR?! That's it, I'm coming to get you. It's been too long."

"That was such a shitty kiss." "Ouch. Redo, then?"

"So do you want to be the small spoon or the big one?"

"Yikes, I can actually see that you love me." "And that's a bad thing?"

"Don't you trust me?"

"You can choose whatever from the wardrobe. My perfume is by the bedside table if you need more of my scent."

"Can we just stay in bed? You're warm."

"Thank you." "That's it? No kisses? No hugs? Have I been demoted to be a colleague?"

N E U T R A L

"Rock, paper, scissors?"

"No sugar, please."

"You stink." "And you're daft, but you don't see me complaining, do you?"

"I'm cold and hot at the same time."

"Oh, I don't like that look." "You never like how I look."

"True." "True?! Are you mad?"

"Is this a prank?"

"I'm in pain." "Shut up, it barely leaves a mark."

"I'm not helping, am I?"

"If I were tea, would you be sugar or honey? There's only one right answer."

"One more time. Louder this time."

"You have insurance, right?"

"My arms are numb."

"I like this. We should do this more often."

"I don't want to boost your ego but you did really well."

My 'Zeit' review

Okay the night was short. So as I said earlier, we need to talk about Rammstein's new album. Today no photos, just my opinion that you didn't ask and you probably don't care. It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you anyway. Obviously what follows is my personal opinion and engages only me.

What to say ? A lot because Zeit is an album that looks nothing like the others, especially not the previous one. If the Untitled album was heterogeneous as a whole, with some very good and some less good, this new album is more homogeneous, the songs are of equal quality both in their vocal and musical interpretation and in their construction. However, this homogeneity means that there is no masterpiece in this album, there is no Deutschland, there are "only" good songs without any of them really coming out of the lot. I've seen many people compare this album to Rosenrot, yet it's relatively distinguishable, the theme of the songs is closer to the LIFAD album and musically it tends to be in line with Sehnsucht. But the comparisons stop there, Zeit is a surprising album, the guys could have just done the same thing as in 2019, but no, they dared and came out of their comfort zone to deliver a totally original album, without frills, and really, really good from start to finish.

Before talking about the songs themselves, I would like us to address the two points that particularly jumped out at me. Keyboards and voice. Very clearly Flake's keyboards are the musical dominants of this album, on some songs they even go so far as to stifle the guitars. They add lightness to dark themes without overdoing it. Till's voice is a real conductor, it is his voice who sets the tempo and announces the color of the songs, Till shows us his talent as a narrator and the extent of his vocal palette, capable of yelling like to whisper his texts.

The songs now. 'Armee der Tristen' was one of the songs I expected the most and I'm not disappointed, we start strong. Mamamia keyboards ! And this heady tune with Till's voice coming up and down, slowing down the rhythm to state all my faults (lol this song sounds like my life "Depressiv, betrübt, zerschlagen / Sollten wir zusammen verzagen / Deprimiert und melancholisch / Pessimistic, devilish"). I really like this song a lot.

I will pass quickly on 'Zeit' and 'Zick Zack' since we have already been able to talk about it when the videos were released.

I found in the song 'Schwarz' little things from the songs 'Hallomann' or 'Mein Herz Brennt', when I told you that the keyboards came to counterbalance the dark theme this is the case here, with at the end the addition of violins.

'Giftig' is a fucking UFO ! Unclassifiable. Musicaly nothing to say, everything plays its role to perfection, the keyboards with their jumping score come to pose notes on the powerful riff of the guitars. And Till's voice just waiting to get angry (the "ja" at 2:22 made me weak). Too bad the song is so short, we want more.

For 'OK' and 'Dicke Titten' I was a little afraid, given the topics covered, that they would redo us 'Pussy' (because I admit it I am one of those who do not like this song). On 'OK' there is a lot of work on the guitars, a fast rhythm of drums, musically we are getting closer to "heavy", without forgetting the keyboards which are still there. This is a very good surprise for me. And 'Dicke Titten' has this absurd side that Rammstein masters perfectly, with this little cartoon music in the intro. This song sends loud.

'Meine Tränen' has an epic western side that I really appreciate. And my god this text is heartbreaking.

I think I'll go into more detail on the song 'Angst' tonight when the video comes out because I have a pretty accurate interpretation of that song. But damn it, Till is doing something crazy to us like the song 'Puppe'.

'Lugen' is an excellent song and the use of autotune (which I totally condemn in certain artists who use and abuse it) is very well used. A vocal artifice for a song that speaks of lies and illusions. Genius !

'Adieu' gets into your head very quickly "Adieu Goodbye Auf Wiedersehen". I don't really want to develop this song any further. Maybe I'll come back to that later...

Here I think I told you everything I thought of this album. After a few listens I like it more and more and I got nothing but positive from it. I would be delighted to have your opinion, to know if you like it or not and why, which songs have marked you the most, which songs you would like to see live, etc. Don't hesitate !

Bitch Boss || J.HS

Pairing : Jung Hoseok X Reader

Genre :  Fluff, tad bit of Angst?

Summary : " Second thing you need to know? My name is Jung Hoseok, and you're mine."

Wordcount: 1.7k

[ A/N: Lmao guys, here I am. Stress writing while I could also be studying. But no. My shit ass just had to stress write for no valuable reason. Anyway, I had this idea with Hobi in a gang au for like two years already and here it finally is. Also, I didn't check my spelling lmao. Enjoy!]

The man in front of you seemed to think the same, because he gulped before chickening out.

You glared at the man in front of you. Hard. Very hard, in fact if glares could kill, the man in front of you would be lying dead on the floor.

" I'll just-" His voice cracked.

He swallowed before clearing it.

" My friend will talk to you." He said before leaving.

You rolled your eyes before going to inspect your nails.

It's been four hours.

Four hours since this rookie gang had caught you. You were pretty sure that you would have no problem getting out of here.

A new man entered the room while you were more intrested in your nails.

" So, princess. There's only a few things you'll need to know. First of all, you're not leaving this place. Ever. Or my side to be more specific." The man smiled.

Way too angelic you decided as you looked up from your nails.

Not leaving his side?

" Second thing you need to know? My name is Jung Hoseok, and you're mine."

-

It's been a few days since you've been living with Hoseok, and so far, so good.

Apparently he was part of Bangtan, one of the most feared gangs in South Korea, and he did not know that you were trained to be an assassin. He tough you were an ordinary girl with a big mouth.

" C' mhere." Hoseok opened his arms in expectations of you running into them.

You raised your brow at him, once again inspecting your nails.

" What is it with you and your nails? Want a manicure or something?" He asked.

You snorted.

" You don't understand women at all do you?" You asked sharply.

" Oh shit, are you on your period? What do you want me to do? I can get you chocolates and stuff. Maybe a heat pack?-"

" Let me go." You asked, more like stated as an order.

The shine in his eyes left, and his smile faded into a thin line.

" No." 

" That's what's wrong with you, Hoseok. Not me. You canmot keep a woman here and expect her to love you." You stated.

You would use your assassin skills, but you couldn't. No matter what happened, the most you would do is knock someone out.

The reason why you haven't full up attacked Hoseok yet was because you couldn't kill, you knew that he wouldn't let you go that easily anyway. And because you could see the hurt little boy underneath the layer of guns and bombs. You knew you had to think trough your plan of escaping.

Meanwhile the look in Hoseok's eyes softened.

" I'm sorry..... Come with me." He ordered and turned around.

Once he realized that you were still seated and not planning to get up anytime soon, he turned back to you and walked over, grabbing your hand and pulling you up.

" Where are we going?" You asked him.

" Training."

-

His training of that afternoon turned out to be much easier than you were used to. Apparently he decided that you should learn the basics for when things go south while he isn't around, you didn't complain about it. 

Today he was going to teach you how to use a gun.

A poor choice really.

" No, you're supposed to- Yeah, like that exactly. How did you know I was going to say that?" He asked.

You gulped but shrugged.

" Well, it's loaded already. Tey to hit the target." Hoseok told you.

Your eyes widen.

The thing was loaded?

An extremely poor choice really.

You turned the gun to him, pointing it directly over his heart.

Hoseok's eyes widen as he didn't expect the move.

" Y/N, don't play around with that. " 

Your eyes sharpened and clicked the safety off.

" Y/N, I'm serious-"

You managed to get him to shut him up by turning the gun and hitting the furthest target straight in the bulls eye.

He turned to look at it before turning back to you.

" There's something I haven't been really honest about Hoseok. I'm not as innocent as I look." You smiled coyly before putting the gun down on the table in front of you and walking away.

" Fuck that was sexy." Hoseok said as he watched you walk away.

He grinned to himself before shaking his head.

" Time to redo that background check."

-

It's been a few months since you've been with Jung Hoseok in his mansion. And suprisingly enough, you didn't hate it. In fact, you were slowly falling in love. It pained you when you realized it. It had started with the little moment back in the training session, and then he started letting you go around the property freely, and up till now he started downright spoiling you. You smiled as you tough of him. 

Your little moment was cut short however as the wall beside you exploded.

Literally exploded.

Your ears were ringing as you tried to get up, but your legs were giving up on you.

" There she is, experiment 0572." Someone said.

You were suprised to hear anything trough your ringing ears.

Your suprise was cut short as your eyes sharpened.

Experiment 0572.

The name you were given as assassin.

The name you had before you ran away.

Before Hoseok decided to take you off the shitty three jobs you had and decided that you were his.

The fear of losing of what you had now managed to get you up on your shaking legs, your hands balling at your sides before you threw the first punch.

A poor decision as you were weakened.

-

" Hoseok! We have serious problems!" Jungkook yelled ad he entered his office.

" Can't be more worse than this stupid gun which needs to be fixed." Hoseok grumbled back.

" It's about Y/N." Jungkook breathed.

Hoseok stopped with what he was doing and turned his full attention to the younger.

" She's taken from your house. I don't know all the details. Just that there was an explosion and these weird lookimg dudes were there and- I don't understand any of it. Just watch this, maybe you do." Jungkook said, slamming a sd cards onto his desk.

" It's the security tape from outside. Yoongi hyung's already searching for the van that appeared in the video." Jungkook said as Hoseok nodded, wasting no time and putting the sd card in his laptop.

The wall blew up and you were catapulted backwards. 

Hoseok sucked in a breath at the sight.

He was caught by suprise when he saw you get up.

" There she is, experiment 0572." A man smirked down at your form.

Hoseok looked at his screen in confusion, experiment 0572?

The man smirked at you and something inside you snapped as you threw a lunch at his face, he was quick to react , throwing a punch right on your sleep, effectively knocking you out.

" This is experiment 0572?" One of the other men in the room asked.

" She's stronger than she looks.I've seen it on tape. Now let's move it before whatever sugar daddy she has comes back home." The man who knocked you out said, and another man unceremoniously threw you in the back of the van.

Hoseok felt rage built up inside him by the sight of someone hurting you. He rewound part of the tape, taking a closer look at the logo on his jacket.

He smirked as he got a clear picture of the tiger on the back of the man's vest.

Hsg.

Hsg was a small rising gang, but not for long.

Because they obviously didn't do their homework right.

You might be some kind of expiriment to them, but you are overall Hoseok's.

And they will certainly not get away with taking what is his.

Hoseok smirked as he called Yoongi.

-

You woke up to the sound of screaming, as if someone was suffering.

A sound you hated.

The sight that came with it was a sight you hate just as much.

There's a lot of blood around you, and a few dead bodies.

Not a pretty sight.

Your stomach wad empty, but if you had any food in it, you were pretty sure that it would have been out by now.

" Princess?" You heard a voice call softly from beside you.

Your eyes lighten up in realization.

Hoseok was here.

He had actually come to save you.

You started mumbling trough the gag that was placed in your mouth.

" I know, I know. I got you." He said as he took the gag off you, holding you in his arms.

You started crying with closed eyes, you weren't sure when the last time was that someone held you.

You especially had never experienced the feeling of being held so secure before.

Your eyes opened again as you took sight of the man in doorway, it was the very man who had knocked you out.

Your eyes widened when you realized he was holding a gun in his hand, and it was aimed right at Hoseok's back.

With a shaky breath you took Hoseok's gun from it's holder.

You felt Hoseok still against you.

" Y/N-"

You clicked the safety off and shot the man.

Twice.

One bullet in both shoulders.

You didn't have it in you to kill him, you couldn't do it.

Hoseok pulled away from you, but didn't let you go.

He took the gun from you and shot the man straight in the head.

" I'll always have you. Thank you for having me." He  wishpered in your hair as he pulled you back into an embrace.

Hey Las Vegas yacht fish here do you want to go half on this Mass murder? Yet they're actually calling you out this is so f****** great? Hey tell Jeffrey tell Frankie tell Kat till sunflower

You boy did it

These f****** idiots huh Las vegas? What a f****** nightmare huh

Okay I'll give you this Florida 3/4 Dallas and Kansas and I'll give you one snow City Utah NO

No the problem is how would they know I've been in Las Vegas one? Two is I haven't been to Las Vegas in 5 6 years since boston? And they talk about it like we're best friends? Is there something wrong with your f****** people Las Vegas it's all I'm trying to tell you something wrong maybe you should stop sending out all black skin satellite makers and trying to redo your city and send out all white skin satellite makers?

It's f****** so weird how they talk to me about Las Vegas it's like when they're asking me advice on a white hair girls and I'm forced to start lying and say they never shower

IT'S JUST F****** WEIRD IT'S SOCIALISM THING F****** IDIOTS

I'm telling you they're defending you because of the architecture they don't want these kids to get that far it was about sunlight City on the beach heat 70°, 90° year round but it has transferred to another cover-up and I don't have time to visit the statements or misstatements they're using my brain integration probably try to figure out how to weaponize all these white hair girls against the black boys? BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THEY WOULD START PROTECTING YOU LAS VEGAS BECAUSE OF THEIR ARCHITECTURES HERE IN THE CITY? IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR ME oh because the white hair girls can't go to the beach? Oh no I know what this is about? That's right they can't sell the little boys the white hair white skin boys to the blacks they only want the girls? No

Is this is this about me shutting it down in Fort Worth saying not only is it about a house it's about the 3/4 house YEAH I'LL TAKE THEM ALL THE WHITE HAIR GIRLS I'LL TAKE THEM ALL

No because the problem is the white hair white skin man wanted his own white family and wanted to enslave the entire black skin family and the problem was there was two blacks black hair white son wanted his own family and the black skin wanted his own family? AND FOR THIS TO BE ABOUT A HOUSE I SUGGEST OH SORORITIES SORORITY SUMMED IT UP YOU GIRLS SHOULD ALL GET A BIG HOUSE? If your credit is good like the girls on my block and my city sunrise what they wanted to do was have their own houses full of girls to not let men live with them that's right

No I saw all the houses and I can imagine how many white hair white skin girls they have meanwhile I go downtown and it's filled full of black people

YEAH BUT IT'S MY BEACH HE HAS TO LET THEM ON OH CUZ YOU GUYS ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE MIA MIAMI FLORIDA BEACH huh

Wait are you guys oh that's right the Los Angeles LAX 3/4 so that s*** was real whatever they need I need them all out of my house? The mountains inside the water was really calling out our beach for having sand before the water to send all their babies to be killed? I saw the sand before that water and I saw people in that water? WELL I CAN'T WAIT TO GO THERE THEY'RE STILL PLAYING REMEMBER THIS CITY DOESN'T HAVE A BEACH?

I suggest you girls get on your job and find out where the beach is I know it's around here somewhere NO WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS THIS ACCIDENT OF THE 3/4 BEDROOM HOUSE and it's a nightmare you know why because it's just a girl alone in a house and you need to have your network that's right I suggest you and your girls start getting along and buy one of those big houses? And then you can have men in the other houses you put your money together you buy two houses and you can separate the girls from the men

That's why I said your cities here the men are too old all they know is one thing don't suck her p**** fill her up with jizz get her pregnant and ruin her life that's what I noticed in these cities

But I remember the house argument was very specific to the 3/4 house is no place for even a black hair white skin girl or you white hair girls you all need to get your money together and buy a bigger house? Oh your credit IF YOU GUYS HAVE GOOD CREDIT ALL YOU NEED IS ONE GIRL ON GOOD CREDIT

I remember this argument very specific it's when Dale lost his arm because all the blacks promoting Florida 3/4 we're doing one thing promising the girls their own houses? AND IT'S A REAL TRAGEDY AND A MISTAKE FOR YOU MEN TO OFFER THESE GIRLS THEIR OWN PRIVATE LITTLE TINY HOUSE

And I'm telling you right now their whole deal is to get a big house together here and then work it out through trial and stuff like that technically no one's will allowed to leave

I remember this argument very specific it went from him owning every girl in the world? Too specifically the the white man and black man hiding and telling every girl he owns the 3/4 bedroom houses go up to him and see if he'll give you one AND I SAID NO I DON'T NO I DON'T OWN EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING 3/4 HOUSE IN THE WORLD TECHNICALLY I'M LIKE THE REST OF THE BOYS WE OWN EVERY DROP OF WATER IN THE WORLD IS WHAT WE ALL AGREED ON WE WOULD ALL AGREE ON IF IT CAME DOWN TO IT S*** WE DON'T WANT EVERY HOUSE WE DON'T WANT EVERY GIRL WE WANT TO OWN EVERY WATER ALL THE WATER THAT WAY WE WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY that's right science

"We picked the perfect house!" Bam comes back after looking for a new house.

"I just want to say this... You break or lose any of my shit... I swear Bam. Mess with mom's and dad's shit I don't care but me." I stare him down.

"You heard her. Careful with her shit." Bam tells everyone as I go upstairs to pack things nicely.

"Need help?" Ryan walks into my room.

"To carry shit to my car, yes. I don't trust any of y'all with things important to me. Well, when I mean y'all I mean all of y'all together. You alone, I kinda trust more than you with them. If you get what I mean." I laugh at my rambling trying to explain myself.

"I get what you mean, Bels. I know your movies are one thing that's really important to you. Your snow globes you collect that not a lot of people know about. Certain rocks you find and like to keep." He laughs at me as I hand him a box.

"Then be careful taking this box to my car. It's got my globes and rocks." I pat his shoulder and he leaves as I grab my box of CDs following him out. He helps me put boxes and bags in my car till he was needed for other shit.

When Raab gets here with the truck I just watch them break everything. "Now you see why I put my stuff in my car." I tell the camera as it pans to me watching them.

"Hey, can you give me the address so I can get a head-start?" I walk over to Bam so he tells me.

"I'm only telling you so you can have first pick of a room. I'll be a nice brother about that so you don't get stuck with the worst room." He says making me hug him.

"I love you." I run over to my car.

"Key!" Bam yells tossing me the key and I catch it.

When I get to the new house I really liked it from the outside and liked it more inside. I look around before deciding the room I wanted. Out of 8 rooms 3 had their own bathrooms, so I of course took one with my own bathroom. Plus it was a good size for me and my stuff with a nice size walk in closet.

As the rest show up I hear the guys running so I stand at my open door say so they know I called this on.

"Yours is nice." Ryan whines before going to check out other rooms before picking the room next to mine. "Sup neighbor." He smiles at his door way.

"Hello." I laugh at him.

While everyone was taking on the second level, I hear mom say Jess's name making me run out of my room.

"Jess!" I shout running down the stairs almost but catch myself on Bam.

"There's the baby!" He wraps his arms around me as I hug him.

"It's good to see you but I have to fix my room." I say making my way outside.

As I was carrying a box in all the guys walk out. "Hey, help Ape and Phil's move in and paint stuff. We're going to Amsterdam." Bam tells me.

"What?" I stop walking.

"Have fun." He pats my back.

"You know he's a terrible son so you make up being the Platinum daughter." Ryan gives me a smile.

"I'm not going to do anything because he's going to end up redoing everything mom does. I'm not wasting my time." I tell him.

"You know your brother better than Ape knows her son." He laughs.

"Just go catch y'all's stupid plane." I walk past him going in.

"Annabelle, come help your mother and me!" My dad yells for me.

"I'm gonna pass this once because he's going to redo everything when he gets back. Come on, you've got to know that. He said it was his place so he's going to make it gothic." I lean out and down.

"Just help us!" My mom calls out.

"I'm busy fixing my room!" I go back into my room.

"Thank you for taking me to get a new bed. You're the only person I know who could help me." I tell Glomb as he drives.

"It's not trouble for me. I wasn't doing anything that's why I said yes to you. I was thinking we get more than just a bed. Get some other furniture as well. So it can fit whatever theme you paint your room."

"Sounds great." I smile.

After all the shopping and going back fixing up my room we made it look great. "I think this is the most girly thing I've ever done. Buying, putting together, and moving things around." He crosses his arms looking at the finished look.

"Well I'm a girl, and you were doing something for me... a girl." I laugh at him. "Thank you, again." I give him a side hug.

"No problem. See you whenever Bam calls me back over." He laughs leaving.

"Hey guys." I hear mom so I come out of no my room and look down at them.

Bam of course complains then starts reck everything making the rest join as I laugh at mom losing it. "Guess who's gonna go out the window next?" She says walking towards Ryan.

"Don't throw him out. He one of the few people I call a friend." I shout out as she kicks his butt.

"New house, new rules. We're burning it all!" Bam shouts.

"Just leave my finished room alone." I laugh making him run up to me.

"Finished?" He walks into my room and eyes the room. "I approve the shade of purple. Black carpet is good. I can get over the white parts. How did you do all this alone?" He faces me.

"I called Glomb to take me shopping for a new bed and he suggested to get other furniture for the room too."

"It's very you." Ryan walks into my room. "I expected a lighter purple though." He laughs.

"I hate light color walls especially with bright light. Dark makes me feel more comfortable." I explain.

"Dunn, look. It's the three of us." Bam looks at my picture on my bedside table.

"We mean that much to you?" Dunn wraps his arms around me.

"Don't get too cocky. Let's go burn the shit you threw out." I head out first with them following me.

-

I hear racket over in Dunn's room waking me up. I start to hear him shout for help so I get up.

When I open the door as far as it would go I see his bed flipped upside down. "You fuckers get me out of here." He tells me.

"Why I gotta be a fucker?" I yawn.

"Anna, help me out. I can't get out because of the saran wrap around me." I watch the bed move.

"Let me go get my scissors. I'll be right back." I grab them off my desk then go back to his room going around the bed bending down to look at him underneath it. "You look comfy to me." I joke with him.

"Just get me out please." He huffs so I work at the wrap then help him crawl out. "Thank you." He stands up.

"No problem. Let's flip your bed back." I get on the other side to help. Once it was up right the camera guy leaves us.

"You're lucky they can't flip your bed." He says pushing the bed against the wall as I pick up the pillows.

"I'd murder them in cold blood." I put the pillows back on the bed as he pulled the wrapping off rolling it up into a ball.

"I don't wanna have to go visit you in prison." He laughs as I sit down on his bed. "Did them messing with me wake you up?"

"Yeah. I heard you yelling so I came to see what happened." I lay back.

"That's what good friends do." He falls onto of me making me roll him off me.

"Bam is a good friend. He lets you stay here for free. Now I'm gonna go get dressed for the day and do whatever." I get off his bed leaving the room.

"What happened to you?" I ask seeing mom covered in mud as she comes back into the house from going to Bam and Ryan outside.

"Yeah, what the heck?" Raab asks.

"These two assees..." We all laugh at her for calling them that as she explains what happened.

The plan was to finish up the pirate bar and other rooms for Slayer to stay of since they were coming tomorrow.

"Anna-," I cut Ryan off with yelling.

"No passing that doorway when you are covered in mud!" I rush over placing a hand on his chest walking him backwards shutting my door behind me.

"Sorry." He puts his hands up as I keep making him walk downstairs far from the room.

"Can you make one room black?" Ryan asks my mom.

"No." She tells him.

"Slayer would like black." I tell her.

"No! Who wants to live in purgatory?" She gets louder and Ryan raises his hand making me laugh.

"Slayer!" Bam shouts.

All the guys do all the hard stuff while I just help Mom paint. "Have you got yourself a date to the party?" She asks as our backs face each other.

"Really?" I laugh at her getting more green paint. "Me have a date? I don't even know guys outside of Bam's friends. Everyone my age in West Chester knows the fake rumors. No one wants to go in a date with me."

"How's painting?" Bam joins us having a conversation with mom.

"I like heavy metal." She tells him.

"Well this is heavy metal." He tries to get her to understand.

"I love heavy metal." She says making me giggle as he tries to explain how heavy it is.

"Heavier than Metallica?" She asks so we say yes. "Def Leopard. My favorite." She tells the camera as I leave the room to go to the bathroom.

After my pee, I go down to check out how the guys are doing at Pirate Bar. "How is it coming along?" I ask walking up to Ryan's side.

"I have a boner." He smiles showing me the bone he was messing with.

"You have such a mature sense of humor." I shake my head at him.

"What we're you and mom talking about before I came in?" Bam joins us.

"She was asking if I have a date to the party. To which I laughed at because the only guys I talk to are in this house. Now I'm gonna be loser if y'all can somehow get Don Vito a date when I can't." I say going back to help mom.

Bam, Ryan, Dico, and Rake went out to go help Vito on his date and Raab asked me to help him paint things gold.

"Are you painting a bottle of Windex?" I laugh joining him.

"We don't have anything else good so I'll paint whatever gold." He laughs as I find something worth painting gold.

"What did you mean earlier saying you can't get a date for the party?"

"As I said the only guys I talk to are you guys. Everyone else in this town believes or is cautious about the lies." I explain to him.

"You know you always say only one person was on your side from the start but you had two. I was too."

"You never said you were." I stop painting.

"I thought you would know a friend believed you. Plus I knew how you felt talking about it. I didn't want to make you. I may be dumb but not all the time."

"Well thank you for always believing me." I give him a smile.

"I'll be your date for the party." He says making me raise an eyebrow at him. "So you can say you at least have a date and that you're not alone. You don't have to say yes."

"Sure." I nod my head

"What?" He asks.

"Yes, you can be my date and the other way around." I say making him get a big smile.

In four hours Slayer arrives and we were finished the little touches to the Pirate bar. Bam gets on Raab for painting random things gold. So I had to stand up for him saying we didn't have much, but I tried my best to find other things to paint gold too.

"I painted a rock gold so I did okay, right?" I pout at them.

"Yes, it's better than shaving cream." Ryan squirts it out then we celebrate for finishing up.

When Slayer does arrive we show them around the house. "You aren't looking forward to the party are you?" Ryan sits with me.

"I gotta make sure to keep random people out of my room. If you get what I mean." I give him a look.

The party wasn't that bad when I did hang out with everyone, Raab would stay by my side the entire time. Whenever someone, who I didn't know, would try to get me a drink, Raab would say he was my date.
