The Silent Treatment - Bakugou Katsuki

Bakugou x f!reader

Warnings: slight angst, slice of life, crack(ish?), fluff, cursing

Summary: Bakugou is very much....an asshole. A shithead. A professional dick if you will. And Y/N, being his girlfriend is very much aware of that. So when he takes it too far, she has to make sure he learns his lesson.

A/N: just a quick lil cute thing, totally not spelled check

BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST

“Hey babe!” Bakugou said as he walked into the living room to find his girlfriend reading a book. He plopped down next to her and just relaxed in the feeling of the soft cushion. The little shit felt like messing with his girlfriend today.

Y/N had already been having a pissy day. After arguing with her boss, forgetting a few items back at the grocery store, and losing her new pair of headphones, she just wanted some peace with her cup of tea and a good book. Now, she has her loving boyfriend to comfort her as well. This day was surely taking a turn...right?

“Hi love, need something?” You asked calmly with the most melodic voice. Your voice. His favorite sound in the world. The sound of you just put a smile on his face which is a huge oxymoron to what this motherfucker is about to say.

“Nah, just wanted to talk to my princess,” he said while resting his head on your stomach, resting in between your legs and wrapping his arms around your waist. You awed at him but didn’t notice his little devil smile. “I had the best dream last night.”

“About what Suki?” You asked while petting his soft hair.

“You.”

“Awweee,”

“Yeahhh. You went mute for the day. Fucking paradise.” Once the words left his mouth you stilled your actions and felt your eye twitch in annoyance. Your hand on his head stilled and slightly tugged at it. In any other circumstance, Bakugou would’ve groaned at the tug (kinky bastard) but he was too busy chuckling into your tummy.

You exhaled roughly through your nose and pushed Bakugou off of you in a very polite way. He rolled onto his back onto the actual couch and watched as you crossed your legs, close your book, and pick up your tea mug.

“Hmph!” Was all that you “said” as you tilted your nose to the air and walked away. Bakugou just snickered as you left. He thought it was adorable when you were mad over tiny inconveniences and thought it was hot as fuck when you were yelling at him, but today, you won’t be doing neither.

—

About 30 minutes had passed and Bakugou had awoken from his nap on the couch. He fell asleep after you walked away but now missed your touch. He sat up, stretched, and went to find you. He walked around the house until he spotted you relaxing in the jacuzzi in the backyard. He grinned at your relaxed look and went to change.

A few minutes later Bakugou had came out to join you in the hot tub. Your eyes were shut as you relaxed in the bubbling water, and so Bakugou was able to get in without being seen. He relaxed into the water as he scooted closer to you, eventually grabbing a hold of your waist.

“Hi baby,” he said as he attempted to place you in his lap but you looked at him with an unimpressed look as you scooted away. “Y/N?”

You grabbed your towel and stepped out of the tub. You wrapped yourself in the cloth as you walked back into the house, completely ignoring Bakugou as he spoke to you.

“Wha- you’re just gonna leave? I just got in with you,” he pouted. He opted to stay in the nice warm water for a bit but once you closed the door he groaned and sunk deeper into the water. He let the water go just above his mouth and right below his nose as he blew bubbles into the tub out of annoyance.

‘The fuck is up with her?’ He thought to himself.

—

Time passed and Bakugou came out the tub. He went back to his room to change into some gray sweats and a black long sleeve (and yes he pulled the sleeves up a bit because he knew you found it attractive and if y’all don’t, well I do).

He walked into the kitchen and spotted you seemingly eating dinner. He noticed a plate for him but kind of frowned at the fact that you didn’t wait for him. He saw you placed the plate on the other side of the island, far away from you, and so he pulled the plate over and took the seat next to you.

“Hey, princess? You gonna tell me what’s wrong?” He asked but you said nothing as you just ate in silence. “Silent treatment huh?” No words.

“Baby, is this about what I said? I was only kidding Y/N,” he said as he tried to wrap his arm around your waist but you pushed it off and he groaned. “Fine. Be that way, you’ll get over it. Come talk to me when you’re done acting like a brat.”

Bakugou just grunted as he ate his dinner in silence right next to you. You finished before him and walked away after you washed your dish and this time it was Bakugou who snubbed his nose in the air at you. If it was the silent treatment that you were gonna give then it was the silent treatment that you were gonna get....sorta.

—

“BABYYYY PLEASSEEEEE!!” He whined while poking at your leg. You were currently in your home office typing away at your computer doing work when Bakugou came in about 25 minutes after he finished his dinner. He couldn’t help himself. He missed you.

You continued to ignore Bakugou as he poked and shook you for attention. You gave him nothing all day and he was getting close to his limit. Please believe he wasn’t getting shit after that brat comment.

“Princessss, c’mon! It was a joke baby, let’s go to sleep, yeah?” He begged. You looked at him with a bored expression and saw his smile as you finally gave him something. You turned back to face your computer and his smile dropped again and was replaced with a scowl. “Y/N, I was just messing with you. I love the sound of your voice and I love you. So quit ignoring me and come give me love!” He demanded.

When he noticed you weren’t budging, he stood from his seat and pinched the bridge of his nose as he mentally counted.

‘1....2...3,’

He gave in and forcefully turned your chair and threw you over his shoulder. You didn’t speak to him but you squirmed and shook trying to get out of his grasp.

“Aye, aye,” he smacked your ass to get you to stop, “quit it. I’m tired, and I want sleep, and we both know I don’t sleep unless my teddy bear is with me, so shush.”

You looked at him when he told you to “shush.” As if you hadn’t been doing that all day. He just squinted his eyes as he knew what you were thinking. “You know what I mean shitty woman!”

Bakugou stormed into your shared bedroom and dropped you onto the mattress. You didn’t even try to run away. You had decided that, yes, you are indeed tired but you refused to give a certain blonde any attention. You stretched on the bed and Bakugou was in awe of your cute state but quickly snapped out of his trance when you turned on your side and gave him your back.

Bakugou got into bed along side you and scooted closer. He pressed himself against your back but once he made contact, you scooted farther away. And so, he scooted himself closer again but just like before, you scooted away. This went on about 2 more times before you scooted and fell off the bed.

“Y/N? You okay, love?” He asked as he looked down at you. You popped up from the floor, on your knees and grumbled to yourself as you vented quietly. You stood up and continued ranting as you tried to walk away to sleep on the couch but before you could get away from the king sized bed, Bakugou grabbed your wrist and pulled you on top of him. “Ignore me all you want but I’m not sleeping without my cuddles.”

You sighed as you gave in. You allowed him to hold you but you refused to speak. Bakugou rubbed circles onto your back as he inhaled your scent but he missed the sound of your voice. The sweet sound that was something similar to honey.

“Baby...I’m sorry.”

You looked at him when he apologized and raised your brow. A verbal, genuine, apology from Katsuki Bakugou? This you’ve gotta see.

“I know I shouldn’t have said that to you and even if I was only kidding......it was pretty fucking mean. ..But I hope you know I love the sound of your damn voice. I love you, dumbass. And I would never ask you to stay silent because....*sigh* ‘cuz your voice, you talking to me, you being with me, and just you in general keeps me sane. So I’m sorry. Okay? And I love you..” he said with a growing blush as he stared at you with a flustered face.

You smiled and went up to peck his lips and then give him a loving kiss. He jumped at the sudden contact but quickly melted into the kiss. He smiled as he finally got to revel in the sweet intimate moments like this. The sweet moments he’s been missing all day.

“I love you too Suki.” Oh how he craved to hear your voice. He loved the sweet sound and missed your loving tone. He pulled you in closer and just held you tight. He doesn’t plan on letting go.

“I’m so sorry. I will never make you upset like that ever again.” He bargained but you only shook your head.

“Katsuki, I was just messing with you today. I had an annoying day and that little joke just sent me over the edge but you know I never take your mean quips to heart. You’re rough around the edges but that’s just who you are and I don’t mind it. I love everything about you, even if you’re a jerk sometimes,” you teased and flicked at his nose. You giggled as he whined and tried to soothe the spot you hit. “You don’t have to censor yourself around me. Okay?”

Bakugou smiled even more. He loves you so damn much. Not only did you know he was just a little abrasive, but you accepted him for all his brunt behavior. You truly did love him. “Thanks princess,”

He sealed the deal with a sweet kiss to your temple as you giggled at the warm feeling of his soft lips. He pulled you down to his chest as you both cuddled up for the night. You sleeping is the only time Bakugou will ever be okay with you being silent. But never again will he ever allow himself to get the silent treatment.

A/N: Guys, I’m so sorry. I’ve been in such a slump and I feel like im reaching a writers block. It’s not even like I don’t have any ideas, I do! And I even have multiple unfinished pieces in my drafts but I just don’t have any motivation to finish :( sorry Cubs, don’t worry, I’ll try my best to finish them as quick as I can. Idk, should I take a break?

I’m already in the middle of a story and I don’t wanna leave those who are reading on a cliffhanger.

a spirit clad in arrogance

Raining in my heart

Chapter 1

An : I honestly had no idea what I was gonna do with this because it isn’t exactly… a very intriguing idea unless I make it lmaooo because it’s not exactly a light x reader type of self insert, it’s literally just me making a self insert out of something I’d think would be a really cool ass sequel mixed with me expressing my love for character analysis and moral ethics expressing my love for character analysis and moral ethics...it’s also an outlet for my ever growing case of adhd.

Also this follows the manga timeline so so the reader is born in 2001 and is about 17 because this takes place in 2018 just for reference. Also this first chapter is very short and horribly written so if it's absolutely hellish to read I apologize because it’s a lot of rambling I did not want to do because there are much more important and interesting things I have planned

Series masterlist

Anywho! without further ado here is the first chapter of ascia

━━━━━━ デスノ一ト ━━━━━━

I was a just about 3 when the Kira case had began and was definitely too young to be hearing the stuff I was on the news and even though my parents tried their best to censor what they could while discussing the matters at the dinner table or no matter how many times they replayed the recordings of the news channel at night when they thought I was asleep, secretly viewing the Tv from the stairs behind them just out curiosity, I still gained a new fixation on the mystery as a kid. I like to think this is a common experience amongst kids growing up in a world that was filled with Kira and continued to be that way because it seemed like everyone was still shocked after years. I always thought there was something kinda funny about this all - it seemed people were still keeping the spirit of a person they seemed to hate alive by always talking about Kira ... granted I can't say much because at the age of 11 I became so weirdly obsessed with the crimes of Kira and other motley cases before then like that of beyond birthday. Then at the age of 12 came the c-Kira situation which revived discourse that kept my fixation alive for the following few months until the fixation died out. Now at the age of 17 I’ve put my mind to more normal things like music and school... things that are useful.

As I walk to school with my umbrella in hand and music in my ears I could never mistake the relaxing smell of rain on such a Monday morning in japan. The roads that followed after the train on my path to school were filled with about as many people as usual, which was a lot but the icky feeling of being surrounded by people disappeared as we all dispersed on the courtyard on our way into school. I think it was more or less my fault for not watching my step because I almost slipped on a lost notebook no one had picked up. Luckily it didn't seem too water damaged but there was no name on the inside to identify whose it was and in fact it was just blank overall and no one was around that seemed to be looking for it so it stood dumbfounded, stuck on the idea of what I was supposed to do with it. Eventually after god knows how long I put it in my bag in hopes someone would ask about it. I didn't exactly expect to forget about it by the end of day but I suppose English was a more interesting class than I remember it being - those conjunction junctions really did have a function!

By the time I had gotten into my room it was out of sight and out of mind but with the homework I had piled up I was gonna be digging through my bookbag anyway so I had came across it and set it on my desk because I guess it's cute minus the front which spelled out ‘death note’ to which I questioned why someone would want.

Everything seemed relatively normal but the sound of tapping on my window was getting annoying because the last I checked it wasn't raining. I stood up from my chair and reached over my desk to look out my window and nothing was there so the sound was confusing but the of my dad coming back home from work brought me out of state and turned by attention to the rest of the house outside my room

“I’m home!” per usual his voice rang through the home, met with the usual responses of my brother being excited, my mother’s updates on dinner and my simple responses of “yo”, “hey dad” “sup”... other stuff like that to let him know I was still alive and kicking

“It’s considered impolite by most to greet your parents with such carelessness, you know?” A voice suddenly cut through and like any other person would I jumped back, tripping over my desk chair and eventually landed on the hardwood, scrambling to regain some consciousness of what is currently happening because who or what is in my house.

Mickey Mouse Birthday Shortstravaganza!

It’s Mickey and Minnie’s Birthday! It was 92 Years Ago Today everyone’s faviorite mouse came in on a tide of whistling, romance and animal abuse and swept into America’s hearts and wallets. Okay I am a day late on this, I had a busy day, but hey a belated celebratoin’s still good right? Right? Eh i’m doing it anyway. Anyway since then he’s been one of animations most iconic characters, and while out of the classic power trio I vastly prefer donald and goofy, they still woudln’t be around without Disney’s big cheese and having not seen a ton of Mickey’s shorts, I felt I owed it to the big eared one to take a look at a bunch of his shorts for his birthday and see how I liked em. If your curious about my previous Donald Duck marathon, it’s CLICK THIS LINK. Unlike last time all of these shorts are on Disney+ as more of Mickey’s library is on there and one or two of these were added recently, as Disney tends to add a few a month. I do wish there were more on there.. but unlike with say the handful of shows they haven’t put on there, i’m a bit more forgiving here. For one thing, YouTube has all the shorts available from various uploaders and DIsney hasn’t touched them despite Plus’ launch. Given like most companies Disney usually has their bots a cirlcing for their content, this has to be delebrate on there part and it’s a good gesture from the company. So while not in crisp HD like the Plus copies, or as easily avaliable, you can find any short that’s happened. So the shorts not all being up at once isn’t an issue like most of the shows that are absent on Plus.

They also heavily need to cherry pick their library as some shorts simply haven’t aged well or have offensive stuff. With the exception of “The Beach Picnic”, which has a racist caricature of native americans via ants.. yes really, most of the shorts are fine to show kids, and have aged pretty well. And as my last marathon showed some shorts.. just haven’t. While not you know racist, seriously why is the Beach Picnic on there?, “Donald’s Penguin”, while utterly adorable at first, ends with Donald trying to murder a baby penguin with a shot gun. No amount of content warnings is going to get past one of their beloved icons pointing a shotgun at a baby. While Disney’s self conciousness can be silly, the splash edit and not putting the Darkwing Duck episode “Hot Spells” on plus for instance, this is one time when I can agree with them: if someone is curious about a paticuarlly offensive short or a propoganda one, youtube exists. But given Plus is trying to be all ages and dosen’t have censoring they have to be careful what they put on there, and I can respect that. I don’t think anyone’s crying a river over the fact that the goofy short where his reflection keeps saying “Hey Fat”, over and over while he struggles with his weight isn’t on Disney Plus and thankfully never will be. But seriously get rid of the “Beach Picnic”. It’s not a good short and you already have one batch of native american stereotypes with “Peter Pan”, I don’t think racist ants are the hill you want to die on disney.

So yeah, this time all of these are from Disney Plus, and since I watched them all at once, their in Watch order rather than chronological like last time. So with all that out of the way...

After the cut

1. Steamboat Willie (1928): It’s All Fun and Games Until Mickey Strangles an Innocent Duck Starting from the obvious source, Steamboat Willie was the start of Mickey’s career. And it’s.. okay. The animation is fantastic and the first half is pretty good: Theirs a pretty good gag with one of the cows. But the finale, with Mickey abusing various animals just isn’t that funny A LITTLE rattling of an animal for comedy is fine.. but the things Mickey does here are just sociopathic> And yes I know it was the 1920′s, but even in that lawless, racist, sexist time, they knew better than to strangle a duck, or, in the moment that puts it over the top, remove suckling pigs fromt heir mom and then play a pig’s teats like an insturment to make it squeal musically.. I assure you I did not make this up. That actually happens. The pacing is also fairly slow at points, with some gags dragged out, though that can be chalked up to having no way to edit the damn thing, so that part I can forgive more. What makes up for it, like I said, are some good jokes, and some gorgeous animation. Decades later and while clearly made a long time ago, it still looks vibrant and really pops even in black and white. It shows just how talented Disney was and how far the company could go with this medium. One last thing to note is Mickey’s Early personality. While he’d retain trickster aspects at times, here he bounces between the loveable jolly mouse we’d come to know for the rest of his career who sometimes has a wild streak.. and a total asshole who strangles a duck. It’s just intresting to see such a diffrent side of him, most of which would end up going to Donald over time. Overall the short is decent, not the best of Disney’s catalogue but worth a watch for the historical significance despite it’s shortcomings, pun unintended.

2. Thru the Mirror (1936): That Was a Weird One This was easily my favorite of the bunch and as of now, my favorite Mickey Mouse Theatrical Short. Part of it is that it’s entirely bonkers; The film STARTS with Mickey , sound asleep, some how astral projecting as his soul, his spirit or whatever lead shis body and having been reading Alice Thorugh the Looking Glass, goes into a mirror world. But instead of encountring evil goatee mickey, he encounters a bunch of living objects and a bunch of fun set pieces for jokes ensue. He dances with playing cards, fights an army of them, has a sword fight with the king after dancing with the queen which.. no Mickey, bad mickey, your in a relationship and so is she. Bad Mouse bad. It is entirely fucking insane, even including a living nut cracker which.. words can’t.. look

They.. they had to know how this looked right? did the director have a ball busting fetish? I mean okay if he did, nothing wrong with that, but maybe don’t put it in your children’s cartoon. That being said it does eat the shells which I find creative. And that’s what really makes this one pop. The creativity. Not a single minute is boring, every minute has something intresting going on, but without throwing too muchi n your face. It’s just a wonderful short and one that like Mr. Duck Steps out, i’ll be rewatching a LOTTTT.

3. Mickey’s Rival (1936): Mortimer: The Original Bro From the same year we have disappointment. Having grown up with the disney classic House of Mouse, I was a huge fan of Mortimer. So when I first saw this, I was happy to see where he came from.. then justifably blocked it out of my mind till this review. While I love mortimer, I love Mickey having a sleazy rival and one diffrent than Pete who has different goals and tactics than the big guy. But his debut just has him as an obnoxious snickering bro.. which to be fair is who he is, but without the venre of charm his later version would have. Mortimer just spends the short being a pranking douche, and blatantly hitting on Minnie in front of Mickey while their on a date. Which even in an open relationship is a no no, so he has no leg to stand on.. metaphorically. He also walks weird in this one because, and this is true, he’s carying 9 volt batteries in his pants. Yes really. That’s the level of Douche we’re dealing with. Someone so up their own ass they carry batteries int heir pocket instead of money or a mask or children’s trading cards like a normal person or a me. What makes it frustrating is Minnie just swoons over the guy. And not like “Awww he’s so funny”, I mean romantically then has the gaul to say “your just jealous” when Mickey is understandably fuming over the jackass who swooped in, pranked him, is hitting on his girlfriend in front of him by teasing a bull, and in general is just the worst. Yes.. yes he is. Justifably. Jealousy is an ugly emotion but there’s a line between some dude bro like Mortimer getting mad your friends with someone you could be in a relationship with, boy, girl, neither, both, whatever your into, and Mickey getting mad his girlfriend is chuckling all over her ex who agian, crashed their date and treated him like garbage and is very transparently hitting on her in the middle of it. It’s also just not a very funny short, outside of the bit pictured and tha’ts more for the sheer aburdity of Mortimer elctifying his pant for a really dumb gag about stealing people’s pants button. He’s very lucky we didn’t see Mickey’s Epic Mickey is what i’m saying. But given he’s a frat bro, the 1930′s version granted but a bro nonetheless, he’d probably find that hilarious until he noticed the sheer size and scope. Overall a forgetable, frustrating short. The one bright spot is mickey and mortimer’s cars which have faces and stuff and look neat.. otherwise it was just a waste of my time and the only good thing it did was bringing Mortimer into our lives. And that ain’t nothing.

4. Mickey Down Under (1948): ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

This is a quick one.. because this one was a vacum. I mean I can at least say for Mickey’s Rival it’s interesting.. i’ts not good but it’s interesting. this is just.. Mickey farts around with a boomerang with his dog and then pisses off an ostrich. There’s not really a lot of consequence or intrest is what i’m saying. I can’t even find a good opening to make a letterkenny joke. No one got close to fucking an ostrich here. It’s telling by the fact theirs no gif’s of this one that no one cares and it baffles me this is one of the ones Disney chose to gussy up for D+ release. But still no donald messing around with a robot?

5. The Band Concert (1935): That’s More Like It. Okay scooting back a year we have the band concert. This is my third time watching this one and it’s a delight. Like the last one I don’t have a ton to say.. but it’s more because this one is just so good rather than because it wasted my time. It’s got a fun concept and the breakout performance from my boy donald duck as he constantly fucks with the band’s performance by either getting in their faces or hilariously pulling Flute’s out of thin heir. I miss that gimmick for donald, his love of pulling objects out of the either via magic and shenanigans. They should bring it back. Also his shenanigans remind me of opus and that’s never a bad thing.

Also Horace takes off his shirt. For the Ladies. A Classic for good reason.

6. On Ice (1935): Donald is a Bastard Man Another great one from the same year. This time around we have what i’ve come to call a Mickey and the Gang Messaround. This is back when Donald and Goofy were supporting characters, so generally each of the big three do something, usually coming together for the climax. In this case Mickey tries to help Minnie with her skating, with him adorably following her around with a pillow before showing off for her, just really sweet stuff. Goofy’s bit is hilariously dumb, as fitting my boy, as he feeds fish tobaco to get them to spit into a spitoon, and tries to club them, with predictable results. While not the most enivrionmentally friendly just the sheer oddness, the fact it sort of works minus him actually clubbing them, and one of hte fish smacking him in the face all make it work. The only bit that reallyd osen’t is Donald and pluto... it was present a bit before but here illustrates why I really dread Pluto based shorts. While I don’t hate the dog, he’s a dog I love dogs, most of the gags in his old shorts, and even up to mouseworks are him either being blamed for shit that’s not his fault, a pet peve of mine, or being tourtured in some way...

But dosen’t work at all now. He puts the poor dog on skates and then laughs at him and even sings a song mocking the poor dog, before justifably nearly ending up going over a watterfall, then ending up clubbed in the head. Good. I love donald but good god is he unsympathetic here.. and for some reason they teamed the two up again for more shorts! Why. It’s why I don’t get why Pluto was the star of his own shorts: if this is all they had.. why do it? Was the 30′s, 40′s and 50′s equilvent of a micheal bay audience really that into dog abuse? So yeah otherwise a good short but that segment drags it down. not Donald’s best work.

7. Clock Cleaners(1937): This is a Great One Not much to say on this one. It’s pretty good, has some fun set pieces, and some great jokes from all three characters. Mickey deals with a seagull, donald effs with a main spring and Goofy fights some statues. All good clean fun. My lack of brevity is more because I don’t have any jokes rather than this genuinely being bad. It’s pretty good.

8.. Mickey and the Seal(1948): More Pluto Torture Porn!

This one’s more of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it is really cute, as a young seal ends up going home with mickey after he visits the zoo to feed them fish. On the other hand.. it’s mostly Pluto chasing after the seal, Mickey being kind of a dick to pluto and not getting he clearly saw SOMETHING in his house, and then teasing him at the end despite him having been right. That being said the ending, with the seal brining back all it’s buddies to mickey’s house, is fricking amazing. ALso the seals in this unvierse who aren’t antrho can speak. That.. that raises a lot of questions I don’t think disney can answer.

9. Ye Olden Days (1933): Jaunty Dueling Music Now this.. this was a fun one. Mickey and Minnie head to Medivil times, proving that the current shorts tendency to jaunt to various settings isn’t a new thing, and it’ sjust a much of a fun change up here as it was there. Mickey, a wondering minstral, ends up trying to rescue Minnie after her father throws her in a dungeon for not wanting to marry Prince Dippy Dog, who hopes she can learn to love him. I can’t tell if he’s genuine or a dick here. But it’s fun, especially the part where, after Minnie declares she loves mickey which.. it’s been a few hours slow down, they decide on a duel and thus sing some ragtime, 1930′s getting ready for duel music that’s just catchy. if X Of Swords ever gets a movie, I want to use this song. Just.. really good stuff. A fun short with some great gag,s a great concept, and my boy goofy as the villian. What’s not to like? Alright one more.

10. MIckey’s BIrthday Party (1942): Big Chicken Breasts We end on another all together now, Mickey and the Gang Messaround that was a great note to end on. I did watch another short, Pluto’s Birthday party.. but it was both more of a Pluto short and more Pluto torture nonsense, so yeah, skipping that one, as I ended up one short of my 12 goal because I can’t count, apparently. So Mickey gets 10, but this one’s a good note to go out on.

Minnie throws a suprise party for mickey which almost turns into a live sex celebration as Mickey clearly is a wee bit horny going in. But it turns into a fun dance party, with Donald throwing out razzes like a good buddy, Goofy making a cake, and some fun gags with a piano they all bought him. It’s a really good short. That’s the problem with Mickey Shorts and doing all D+ ones: There just isn’t the weirdly offensive stuff to talk about there is. He’s not a bad character, but there’s a reason in every short that features all three, Donald and Goofy easily outshine him. Mickey’s not a bad character, but when not in trickster mode, there just isn’t a lot for him to do. It’s why the comics reinvented him, much like they did for donald, into a plucky detective/reporter who reguarly sovles crimes. He’s not bad, and as seen with Ye Olden Days and Thru the Miror, his blank slateness cna be put to good effect and house of mouse gave him more of a personality, but here he’s just the bland good guy to Donald’s loveable scmap and goofy’s loveable dumbass. It’s an issue comedy has to this day: having a lead whose just.. not as intresting as the rest of the ensemble. There is weirdness to note, as Donald dances with Clara Cluck> That’s not the weird part, he and daisy took a while to be etched in stone. The weird parts are 1. Donald wearing a sombrero and smoking a cigar, and 2. Clara’s MASSIVE boobs.. yes really. Clara Cuck has giant breasts. Like actual boobs that sway around while she dances with donald. it’s.. bizzare. Not terrible, who doesn’t like big chicken boobs but just.. really really weird to see ina Disney cartoon.But yeah it’s jus ta fun note to end on.

And that was MIckey’s Birthday special. I enjoyed it even if I had less to say than I thought.

Why did you last feel like crying? My thesis was making me anxious and the songs off of Petals for Armor are still very fresh and are resonating with me very strongly for now, so those things happening at the same time nearly made me cry over breakfast.

How long ago and why did you last feel infuriated? Infuriated is a strong word. I suppose I last felt it when I heard the news of the police shooting a former soldier with PTSD for going out without his face mask on to get groceries. You don’t fucking KILL anyone for not having a mask, you educate them and you fucking give them one.

Do emotions control you or do you control your emotions? Uhhh it really depends. Most of the time I always want to address stuff maturely and make sure my emotions are in check before I respond to anything; but there are also times I’ll give myself a treat and allow myself to be petty, letting my emotions control me.

Do you keep your friends secrets/private information to yourself? Some secrets will make it to Gabie, but I mainly tell her only because she’s so forgetful and will forget most details in the next hour. I don’t tell her much more personal secrets, like if someone came out to me.

What negative quality do your friends bring up the most? We don’t really have talks where we talk about our negative qualities; my friends and I do have similar talks, but instead what we do is we’ll raise events in the past where one of us may have annoyed another and be like, “I actually didn’t like when you did/said this or that before.” I’m lucky to have good friends who can be honest and mature about this kind of stuff.

What quality do you think you have that others don't think you do? You’d have to ask them first. I don’t always keep track of how people think of me.

Do you often "jump" to conclusions? Only when I’m expecting a worst-case scenario to happen. I like to always expect the worst so that the actual outcome doesn’t disappoint me as much.

Do you find being alone with strangers scary, interesting or indifferent? It ranges from wary to completely uncomfortable. I never find the prospect of being surrounded by strangers ‘interesting.’

Do you think you know a lot about the world? Definitely not. I’m incredibly young and I know very little outside of my home and school, so I’m currently holding a weird excitement for graduating and getting a job and finally getting to know the rest of the world bit by bit.

What about the world do you wish you never found out? I don’t think like that. I embrace reality lol give me all the bad, worse, and worst news.

Do you know first aid? We had a) health classes throughout high school that taught us first aid and b) a couple of first aid seminars for NSTP in college. Our final exam in freshman year was for each of us to demonstrate CPR to a mannequin. But for some reason, I still haven’t gotten basic first aid down to a T. I think because I’ve never had to use my learnings in an emergency situation, I always end up forgetting them over time.

Does the sight of blood make you feel sick? Oh my god fuck yes, especially my own. Gabie’s nose also bleeds all the time and I always have to excuse myself because I can’t handle the blood, but it also makes me feel like shit that I can’t even help my own girlfriend lmao. I find it so weird because I’ll have no problem watching pro wrestling which has so much more legit blood in it.

Does your first name have an L in it? It does not, but my second and middle names do.

Middle name have a C in it? No. My last name does. You’re always one name off hahaha.

Last name have a R in it? No, but my first does. Catch up bruh.

Do your initials spell a legitimate word? If so, what? No.

The word above, does it have any connection to you at all?

Do you prefer classic rock or nope alternative? I have no idea what nope alternative is but that’s a hilarious typo if it’s one. I do listen to alternative music, but nothing classic rock.

Do you like Kings of Leon? Just their songs that went on to become popular.

How about The Script? Ah no, was never a fan. I don’t get the appeal of their songs, but they’re so wildly popular here I can’t even begin to tell you just how much. They’ve been to Manila 4 or 5 times, which is already essentially equivalent to a million times when it comes to international acts coming to the Philippines. A lot of artists come here, but very very few come back.

Does crying make you feel better? It doesn’t make me feel better, but it does serve as a nice release.

Do you know a girl called Becca? Yup, one of Rita’s older sisters.

How about a guy called Gregory? Not that name exactly but the Spanish/Italian version, Gregorio. We called him Greg. He was a super brief member of our org but he ghosted us not long after he passed the application.

Does someones background effect whether you'll be friends with them or not? Background effect made me imagine different auras that people would come with if that we’re possible, like stars or hearts hahahaha. ANYWAY it would definitely depend on what aspect of ‘background’ we’re talking about. Someone’s ethnic or racial background wouldn’t bother me at all, but if they just came out of prison for raping someone I wouldn’t want to be around them, especially if their behavior is still a bit off.

How about their religious background? I preferably wouldn’t want to hang out with anyone who’s a devout, by-the-book Christian because our beliefs would wildly clash and they’ll just ruin any conversation. I wouldn’t even be able to talk about my girlfriend, for instance.

If someone admitted cheating in a past relationship of theirs, would you trust them? No.

Do you drink tea and/or coffee every day? I used to drink coffee everyday this quarantine, but I had to stop because I was starting to get headaches often. I drink it probably 2-3 times a week now.

Did you ever want to be a cook as a kid? Not really. I don’t think I ever said “I want to be a chef like my dad,” or something along those lines as a kid.

How about a fashion designer? No.

Do you wish that magic was real? Not really. I’m fine with the fact that they’re all tricks, it actually makes it more entertaining that way.

What food would you love to wipe off the face of the earth? Eh, at least one person likes each kind of food and I wouldn’t wanna rob them of their joy.

Can you use a bottle opener? I haven’t even tried using one.

Do you own a cheese grater? Yup.

What time will it be in 38 minutes time? 7:18 PM.

What day/date will it be in 11 days time? It’ll be May 21st, a Thursday.

Have you ever owned a pet fish? Yup, just several goldfish as a kid.

Do you prefer fire or ice? Ice.

Do you rap along with rap songs? If I memorize the verses then yeah I can’t help but rap along.

When happy, do you become more talkative? I think so. I get very chatty when with Gabie so that’s probably why.

Bowling or sailing? Why? Bowling, only because I’ve never been sailing. I bet if I were to sail, I’d prefer that, though. < Yup, exactly this. Bowling is fun though!

What colour is your kettle? The one we have is silver. I don’t have my own.

How about your microwave? It is black.

Do you prefer sitting in the front or back of a car? Most of the time I’m the one driving, so that makes me pick front by default haha. When I’m not driving though I really prefer sitting at the back as I rarely get to feel like a passenger anymore.

How about in a train? On the bus? I’ve only ridden a train once but wasn’t able to form an opinion about it. When it comes to the bus, it’s always fun being at the back haha especially when I’m riding with friends.

Do you care about politics? Yes, but my concern is mostly for our own. I’m not up to speed with other countries’ governments; I only know enough to form a general opinion about their highest leader, like how Trump is a piece of shit.

Obama or Bush? Obama.

Blair or Brown? I don’t pay much attention to UK politics. < This. But the royal family, that’s a different story HAHAHA

When did you last cook something from scratch? I *helped* my dad bread chicken several few weeks ago, if that counts.

What things make you jealous? I don’t feel jealous a lot, but when I do it’s usually just FOMO.

Are you offended easily by non politically correct language? Sure, especially if the people using them aren’t willing to be educated.

Do you think the censors/fcc go a bit too far or are just right? Can’t relate.

Do you feel hungry, thirsty, sleepy or none of the above? I’m hungry since it’s time for dinner. I’m just waiting for my dad to finsh up cooking.

What's your I.Q? I dunno, I’ve never had it checked.

What's your Mum's Mum called? How about your Dad's Dad? I call both sets of grandparents the traditional Filipino way, Lola for my grandmas and Lolo for my grandpas.

Do you prefer crepes, pancakes or waffles? Waffles > pancakes > crepes. I’ve never even had crepes before.

Do you have ice-cream in your fridge right now? Yeah I think so. We always have enough supply of it in the freezer because both of my parents love their ice cream.

How about chicken nuggets? I think we do but it hasn’t been touched in a while since my dad has preferred preparing real food throughout the quarantine haha.

Do you eat fish often? Yes, both cooked and as sushi. Fish is a huge part of Filipino cuisine because duh, we’re surrounded by water. My family will typically have tuyo, danggit, or dilis (kinds of sun-dried fish) for breakast and you can always find a fish dish or two at birthday parties, whether on its own or relleno (stuffed).

Have you ever taken a martial art? Which one{s}? I haven’t. There was a time I wanted to, but I didn’t pursue it because I thought I was too thin and unfit to try it out.

Do you know anyone who is scared of you? Probably.

What person who has died would you bring back and why? Nacho. It wasn’t his time yet.

Do you like watermelon? I like some watermelon-flavored stuff like popsicles, but I don’t eat the fruit.

Can you remember the month of your first kiss? January 24, 2015. Couple steps ahead of ya.

Do you make friends easily? I make acquaintances easily, but I choose who to let into my inner circle. I’d make more friends if I wanted to, but I just choose not to.

What makes you different from everyone else? I honestly don’t know. My interests are pretty common and I haven’t had anything super unique happen to me.

I give you a piece of paper. What do you draw/write on it? Practice my alma mater’s penmanship, which is always my go-to when I’m asked to write anything haha.

What pictures or photos are up in your lounge? Is this a Myspace thing? Lol I don’t really have my photos ‘up’ anywhere on my social media; my accounts just show the latest ones I uploaded.

Do you like purple and white patterned things? It wouldn’t be the first one I’d choose, no.

Do you know anyone called Pipa? No, but my sister went to school with a Pipay. I think her full name was Piper.

I say purple, you think... My great-grandmother. She loved purple and had it everywhere in her home.

What do you think is the most interesting thing about you? I don’t know. I’d rather people who know me answer this as they might be able to come up with different answers, and it’d be interesting to see how they see me.

Do you like being complimented or does it make you uncomfortable? It’s nice to be recognized but overall I’m shit at accepting them.

Does the description of your starsign correspond with your personality? My astrology-believing friends tell me that they match, but I don’t believe in astrology so I don’t think about it all that much and mostly think of it as coincidence.

Do you have a photo album? Yeah my mom was big on albums from when my siblings and I were infants to when we reached pre-teen years. Each of us have two photo albums.

What artists’ paintings do you find the most beautiful? Monet’s.

What about the most disturbing? I find it more sad than disturbing, but I’ve always been affected by artists who made self-portraits as their health was deteriorating over the years.

Have you ever gone to a camp or summer school? I attended a summer sports clinic for swimming when I was 9.

What was your favourite cartoon as a child? Spongebob. Fairly OddParents was a very very very close second because it was just as funny as Spongebob.

What was your biggest fear as a child? Introducing myself. I always got bullied for my name and got called a tomboy/boy for it more than once, so I was conditioned to be nervous whenever I had to introduce myself and say my own name.

Would you rather be able to fly or breathe underwater? Fly, so I can travel anywhere hah.

What about invisibility or mindreading? Probably invisibility. There are stuff I’d discover in reading minds that I think I’m better off not knowing and I find it a tad bit invasive than being invisible.

Do you like what you see in the mirror? Sure. Just not so much these days since I never get to dress up or fix myself up anymore.

Which stereotype do you dislike the most? Offensive ones.

Can you remember all your past teachers names? There’ll be some grade-subject combos I’ve forgetten about by now, like I no longer remember my 3rd grade English teacher for one. But my memory in general is still quite impressive and I remember most of my past teachers.

Do you like talent shows? Which ones? I wouldn’t tune in to them religiously but I do love Golden Buzzer compilations from America’s/Britain’s Got Talent.

Have you ever failed an important exam? In what? Only in high school, and it was the more advanced math/science subjects that I really could not start to care for, like chemistry and calculus.

Do you find people taller than you intimidating? Kinda? Filipinos are very tiny people so whenever I meet a foreigner I always have to crane my neck all the way up and it does scare me a little bit hahaha.

Do you think you are better than people of a different country/background? Not at all.

What's your favourite thing about your country? I suppose the tourism side of it is wonderful. We’ve always been known for our hospitality, our tour guides are always so friendly and funny, we have beautiful beaches and islands, and Filipinos are generally a nice people and very easy to get along with.

What's your least favourite thing about your country? The colonization, the government, and people who continue to glorify the government as if they can’t do anything wrong.

Who is your favourite bzoinker? I have several favorite survey-makers but I’m too shy to mention them on here lol.

What websites do you have bookmarked? I have soooooooooooo many bookmarks.

Do you use bows and ribbons to decorate your gifts? I’ll stick a bow on a Christmas gift if I have one, but otherwise no. < Same, I only get real decorative for Christmas.

Do you listen to the same type of music as your parents? What type is that? Not at all. My mom is really into cheesy 80s and 90s love songs and I just can’t imagine myself listening to those on my own time lmao. My dad doesn’t have much of a music taste.

What TV show scared you as a kid? Mr. Meaty. What the fuck was that. < HAHAHAHAHAHA this fucking show. That was such a mess; I never understood it but I found it so hilarious. Anyway, I don’t think I was scared of any show as a kid.

Family Guy, The Simpsons or South Park? Why? The Simpsons. Family Guy’s jokes can sometimes go too far, and isn’t South Park just blatantly offensive? The humor in The Simpsons is just right for me.

Best of COVID-2019: (Late) 2019 End of Year Wrap-up

Even though we’re well into 2020, most of us would probably swallow a pill that makes us forget the year so far. With a new job, I got too busy to do an end-of-year wrap-up of my picks for the best albums, movies and shows of 2019, so assuming you’ve swallowed your Hindsight Pill™ (get it?, cause hindsight is 20..ok, fair if you stop reading now) here’s my take on the best music, movies and shows of 2019. Maybe you’ll find something to make the rest of quarantine a little better.

ALBUMS

Remind Me Tomorrow by Sharon Van Etten on Spotify

It’s hard to find a better album this year. It’s heartfelt, gentle in places / wild in others, it pushes her sound forward from her more folky records of the past and gives us the opportunity to gaze into this sensitive she-hulk of an artist’s soul.

Favorite Track: Jupiter 4 - Jupiter 4, a song by Sharon Van Etten on Spotify

Lux Prima by Karen O on Spotify

This concept album by Karen O (“Yeah Yeah Yeahs”) and Danger Mouse (“Broken Bells”, “Gnarls Barkley”) can best be described as a record composed by badass feminine superhero from the future who has a nostalgic fascination with soundtracks from 70s European love story films. It’s phenomenal. The chord progressions are unusual and interesting. The vibe is consistent throughout. It’s a great record to listen to intentionally or a perfect soundtrack to a day outside with friends.

Favorite Track: Nox Lumina - Nox Lumina, a song by Karen O, Danger Mouse on Spotify

Lana Del Rey - “Norman F*ing Rockwell“ (censored for my mom)

I get it. You stopped following Lana after “Summertime Sadness”. She’s not your jam. She’s vapid. There’s something about her appearance that you don’t like (Didn’t she get her lips done?). She doesn’t make serious music. Here’s the thing though: You’re f*cking wrong (censored for mom). LDR is one of the most prolific songwriters and performers we’ve got. This artist has evolved with each album and the songwriting keeps improving. This is her best album to date. The lyrics take on deeper themes than her prior records and any ego on previous submissions seems to have been replaced by a general comfort in herself and the discomfort of her experiences and relationships (fictional or not). This is also her release with the lightest touch. She’s not pushing the LDR persona anymore, she’s being herself — take it or leave it. It’s her, your little Venice B!tch (censored for mom). Hi, mom!

Favorite song: Venice Bitch, a song by Lana Del Rey on Spotify

Phoenix by Pedro The Lion on Spotify

This is my favorite artist’s first studio album in 15 years. (!!!) It’s not technically fair to say that because he released several color records in the interim. As a largely one-man show, the DNA was very much the same. But this is a true return to form for the the man known as David Bazan that I’ve been following carefully for 20 years and have seen live too many times to count.

This is a concept album (most of them are) about his experience growing up in Phoenix, AZ. But it’s more about growing up than about Arizona. I got goosebumps and watery eyes the first time I listened carefully to the lyrics of “Yellow Bike” which tells about the experience of getting your first bicycle as a little boy around 1990. For me, this was the apex of my childhood. Absolute freedom and the ability to easily join any pack of desperado bike kids.

The album hits hard with the catchy hooks, introspective lyrics, challenging topics and excellent production & instrumental performances only using standard rock staples like guitar, bass and drums (with a couple quick appearances of an organy synth).

Lyrics, melody & a great beat. This is a fantastic rock album.

Favorite song: Yellow Bike, a song by Pedro The Lion on Spotify

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? by Billie Eilish on Spotify

Much has been written about this wunderkind. You know her. It’s a great album. She has a promising career ahead of her.

Favorite song: when the party’s over, a song by Billie Eilish on Spotify

SOUND & FURY by Sturgill Simpson on Spotify

This album slays. It’s a badass rock album. If you don’t know Sturgill Simpson, he’s technically a country act… BUT! He’s entirely rejected the conventions of modern country with its shallow lyrical content, right-wing dog whistling and computer-assisted faux harmonies. He sings about psychedelics, his problems with religion and also covers 80s synth-pop in country ballad fashion. Well, forget all that for this record. It’s a banger. This record sounds like Waylon Jennings was cloned 100 years in the future and brought back just to record a ZZ Top album. Major leap for this artist. One of the best of the year.

Favorite song: Make Art Not Friends, a song by Sturgill Simpson on Spotify

ANIMA by Thom Yorke on Spotify

We’ve had a complicated relationship with Thom Yorke’s solo work. As the lead singer of Radiohead, we’ve had to give deference to literally anything with his name on it. But his prior solo works have waded into the avant-garde and we’re entirely listenable in a casual way throughout. This has changed. This record is a masterwork. In fact, it demanded a beautiful short film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (“The Master”, “There Will Be Blood”) released on Netflix earlier in the year featuring no dialogue and Thom and his wife is choreographed love affair starting during a mundane commute. My favorite track is the most peaceful and introspective on the album.

Favorite song: Dawn Chorus, a song by Thom Yorke on Spotify

Fear Inoculum by TOOL on Spotify

It’s TOOL’s first album in 13 years. WHAT. It’s fantastic. Worth the wait? Hell no because that’s too long to wait for almost anything. There are people with Snapchat accounts that weren’t alive when “10,000 Days” came out (2006). 728,000,000 people (presumably, all TOOL fans) died since their last album. I can’t, in good conscience, condone the deprivation of 3/4 of a billion people like that. But it’s SO good. This is metal for people that don’t like metal (I don’t really like metal).

Favorite song: Pneuma, a song by TOOL on Spotify

Screamer by Third Eye Blind on Spotify

I may be literally this bands only fan still paying attention, but I don’t care. They’re still writing fantastic tracks. This was one of my heavy-hitter bands in high school. I learned every song from their first two albums on the guitar. Then I stopped paying attention for like 13 years. In 2016, I ran across a new single by the band and went in with a lot of trepidation. Most bands from your high school years should probably leave it there. There's nothing worse than a band desperately trying to stay relevant with weak ass releases well beyond their shelf life (cough Goo Goo Dolls –– They've put out 4 albums in the last 10 years. 🤦‍♂️) But then I heard Third Eye Blind's pro-Black Lives Matter track “Cop vs. Phone Girl, a song by Third Eye Blind on Spotify” released in 2016. Go back and listen to that one. It's not only catchy as hell, but it's got a gut punch of a message about how shitty is it to be a well-meaning black student in a white-dominated power structure that's supposed to be a safe place like school.

Well 2019’s “Screamer” doesn’t disappoint either. It’s all the same energy and hooks of the band’s early sound with an updated feel and sensibility that still feels like a relevant rock album. All the same things you came to Third Eye for in the past is right here waiting for you on “Screamer”. I know I’m gonna get some flack for this one, but…shut up.

Favorite song: Ways, a song by Third Eye Blind on Spotify Bonus points if you catch the “Outside Lands” ref.

i,i by Bon Iver on Spotify

Short review for people who know how to pronounce the name correctly: It’s a Bon Iver record. Listen to it.

Longer review: It’s pronounced “Bone ee-VAIR” based on the French bon hiver, meaning “good winter”. If this is news to you, here’s a nugget from an interview where the main figure in the band explains it:

When I was living up north I wrote a letter. I’d come across a story about this Alaskan town that the people, the first snow of every year, they come out of their houses and gather in town square. They hug and kiss each other and they say “Bon Iver.” I was like, “whatever that is, that’s cool!” … Then I found out how it’s spelled and it was sort of disappointing. I didn’t like how it looked. It didn’t have any emotion. Looking at it didn’t make any sense. I wanted to look at it and feel something. It was sort of a compromise. I sorta wanted it to be like “Bon Iverre,” sort of like how I saw it, but that didn’t look good either, so I just decided to chop off the “h.” Bon Iver | Pitchfork

OK, now that you’re caught up. I guess you haven’t been paying attention, but Justin Vernon or Bon Iver (DBA) is one of the luminaries of the music industry. This grammy-winning dude-band has collaborated with Kanye, Jay-Z, James Blake, Travis $cott, Poliça, Ani DiFranco, Vince Staples, Eminem, Bruce Hornsby and more. But if you need me to explain any of this to you, do yourself a favor and go back and listen to his other 3 studio albums. Every one of them is treasure.

Favorite Song: Hey, Ma, a song by Bon Iver on Spotify This song makes the top 5 of all the tracks he’s released.

Apollo 11

INCREDIBLE documentary about the first moon landing mission featuring a ton of footage I’d never seen and assembled into such a magnificent narrative. You feel like it’s happening in real-time today. The last time mankind was united around one hope.

youtube

SHOWS

The OA - Season 2 (Netflix)

This was one of the most beautiful creations I’ve seen. Epic followup to the first season which seemed like an impossible act to follow. Netflix canned the show, but there’s still hope it will get a resurrection through another venue.

Watchmen (HBO)

This is a sequel to the critically acclaimed graphic novel from the late 80s. You should read the novel first. As stated two sentences ago, this is a sequel set 34 years after the events of the novel.

The Boys (Amazon)

This is the first realistic superhero story. Why have we always assumed that those with superior or supernatural powers would be intrinsically good and seek to served mankind? Regular humans don’t even act like that toward each other. In this world the soops are like paid athletes and are secretly total pricks. Well made and begging for a second season.

Chernobyl (HBO)

Haven’t seen this? What is wrong with you? It’s in the top 5 highest rated shows of all time on IMDB. One thing I’ll note is that it did a good job separating the characterization of the soviet people from the soviet government. The everyday soviet people in the story came out looking like heroes while the government lived up to its reputation. It made me a lot more curious about soviet history which has led me to other movies, books and Wikipedia rabbit holes. Watch this for the historical value, at a minimum. It’s not as gory as you might be afraid it is.

Love Death + Robots (Netflix)

I love sci-fi and I love weird animation so this just brought it home for me. The episodes are often short and sort of feel like Twilight Zone episodes, each with their own mini narrative or moral lesson. Each episode is made by a different creator or team, so the variety is part of the curb appeal. Great binge material.

I’m honestly feeling so goddamn tired right now but I really don’t want to go to sleep. Not yet, anyways. It’s the same cycle I always go through, with my mind running on overdrive so that even if my eyelids are heavy and my body is lethargic, my brain keeps pushing me to stay awake. Plus, I also feel kind of...off. Which means no matter how tired I am, sleeping is not a great option. There’s nothing quite like laying in a silent, dark room to really make your mind wander and I know exactly where it’s going to go if I give it the chance right now. It’s going to contemplate every worst case scenario about why I feel weird and spiral me into some sort of stupid panic attack which is certainly not ideal in the slightest. I don’t know what, exactly, is making me feel weird but I know there are definitely a few options on the table.

1) The dishes. My boyfriend asked me to do the dishes while he was at work today. I did not. I have a valid excuse (the cat ripped my hand up yesterday in a flea collar incident and it’s been sensitive ever since) but that doesn’t mean I don’t still feel guilty about it. I made it a point to avoid doing the dishes at all costs because of my hand (and it doesn’t help that I absolutely hate doing the dishes regardless) but at the same time, I was nervous that my boyfriend was going to be upset with me when he got home from work and found that they were still just as they were when he left. Luckily he wasn’t upset (or at least as far as I could tell) but a part of me still felt/feels guilty about it, like I should’ve done it anyways.

2) My mom. I had been planned to call my parents tonight ever since I woke up because I felt like I hadn’t called them in a minute and wanted to say hi and see how they were doing. I waited until after my boyfriend left for work, then called my mother on Messenger so we could video chat. It rings for five minutes and then says she’s unavailable. No sweat. It’s happened before. I figured she was probably just in the bathroom or something. It was 8:30pm so I didn’t dare think she had gone to bed already. She doesn’t go to sleep that early. Well, she texts me and lo and behold she says her and my dad are going to bed because my dad is really tired. Makes sense. He works really long shifts and has to be up at, like, 4:30am. I told her not to sweat it and that I didn’t want to bug them if they were tired but then she insists I call her, so I do. Everything’s fine for the first .25 seconds until I tell her about the incident yesterday with the cat and the flea collar and show her my hand. She immediately breaks down in hysterical tears. I assure her that I’m fine, that it doesn’t hurt that much anymore, and ask her if she’s alright (because honestly, hysterical tears is a little bit of an over-exaggerated reaction if you ask me). She explains how she’s had an emotional day because her and her best friend went to go see this movie about these parents trying to stop their kids from losing their virginity on prom night and it reminded her of me. Not the virginity part, but she said there was a mother-daughter relationship in it where they were best friends and did everything together and the girl got accepted to this college and hid it from her mom but then the mom found out and started crying because she realized her daughter was going to be moving away and they wouldn’t have that relationship anymore and it reminded my mom of me. I get that, I really do, and I understand why she’d be emotional about it, but at the same time she’s just so goddamn overemotional. She was crying so hard that she had to hand the phone to my dad and I didn’t see her or speak to her for the entire rest of the call. This was probably the most palatable part of this whole thing, honestly, because, I mean, at least my dad is sane. I really like talking with him these days. It’s casual. There’s never any crying or whining about how much he misses me. I know he does, but at the same time he’s the kind of parent who knows when to let go and I think he’s really proud of me for doing so well in school and starting my own life and chasing my dreams and all that fluffy shit. So yeah, talking to him was really nice. We didn’t speak for too long because he was really tired and he did have to be in bed early for work in the morning so by 9pm we were saying goodnight and talk to you later. He was sitting in his room getting ready to turn in and I asked him if I could at least say goodnight to my mom before we hung up. I didn’t even know where the fuck she had gone but apparently she was in bed perhaps asleep though my dad couldn’t quite tell. He asked her if she wanted to say goodnight to me and she didn’t answer for a few minutes, and then she let him turn the camera onto her and I am honestly not surprised by the completely indecent vision of her I saw. It’s the same sort of lens I always see her through when she’s had too much to drink and is overemotional and an absolute fucking mess: the red, puffy face, the eyes so narrow they look like slits, the fact that she had already taken her shirt off and was censoring herself with the blanket. I hate when she’s like this, and I know it’s partially influenced by her goddamn best friend. I don’t know, man, I just always feel bothered every time this happens. I moved 300 miles away to get away from this shit, and yet here I am over six months later still getting pulled back into it. I asked my dad how much she had to drink. He said he didn’t know, that he was at work. He didn’t seem all too concerned with her, but maybe he’s just used to it or maybe it’s just his hallmark calm demeanor. I don’t know. Either way, she’s ridiculous and I hate when this happens. It’s like every time I build up some hope that things are getting better and she’s getting a grip on this, she goes and completely destroys it and sends me right back to cynical square one. I should honestly just stop trying to have faith in her at this point.

3) Food. My stomach’s been feeling kind of off today, probably because I binged on Oreos earlier. Either way, I’m in one of those weird moods where I’m kind of hungry when I should be but I don’t feel like eating whether it’s because I feel bloated or crampy or what. I don’t know, maybe I’m just having an off day. I woke up around 2pm and spent the entire day doing laundry which isn’t all too labor intensive but I still found myself tired out from it. I feel like I haven’t had a lot of energy lately, though. Or at least today and maybe yesterday. I go through these spells of feeling really pepped up and sharp-eyed, like I‘m finally getting out of my fog, but somehow I always seem to find my way back. Not that I mind my fog all that much. It feels kind of safe and hazy here. When I’m bright-eyed and fully awake, everything looks too sharp and feels too amplified and it can be daunting and kind of anxiety inducing. But then again, sometimes the fog isn’t a great thing. Tuesday I took allergy pills that warned for potential drowsiness but I didn’t think much of it until I was nearly falling asleep every five minutes in class and still couldn’t breathe. I feel like I‘m in a similar haze right now, exhausted but fighting to stay awake. I feel like if I go to sleep, though, I’m going to set my mind spiraling and food is one of those concerns. When I woke up, I had a decent little breakfast of cinnamon toast and a mandarin orange cup that satisfied me enough. The toast is usual but the mandarin orange cup was a treat. Then I set myself up for failure. I broke out the Oreos. I finished off the family size box. I’ve really taken a liking to Oreos lately but they’re not always the best on my stomach. They set off my IBS if I eat too many and that was partially the case today. Eventually I had to run to the bathroom but it wasn’t for a flare-up so much as for an urgency that was painlessly relieved. My stomach has felt kind of crampy all day since, though, but not necessarily IBS cramps nor even period cramps. It’s more of just a general ache. My boyfriend got off work at around midnight and said earlier he’d get us some food on the way home. I was a little hungry beforehand so I binged on cheese balls and a pack of fruit snacks which was fine but it wasn’t after this that I started to feel kind of bloated and overall just “ugh.” I didn’t really eat much of my dinner because of this, but I felt bad about it. I didn’t want him to know I wasn’t that hungry. I didn’t even know I wasn’t that hungry until the food was sitting in front of me expecting to be eaten. It was hotter than usual, too. Normally when we pick up food from this restaurant, it’s lukewarm by the time we get home but tonight, it was burning hot so I had to skirt around it for a moment lest I completely scorch my mouth. I might even go so far as to say it even tasted kind of weird tonight, too, but that might just be my anxiety talking. Either way, at this point I just feel bloated and sleepy and kind of weird and I just want to stay up all night until this feeling goes away so I don’t have to deal with the unending thoughts I’m no doubt going to get bombarded with when I do finally climb into bed. I don’t know, man. I guess it’s just one of those things I kind of have to wade through.

37 Hilarious Phrases Parents Say to Avoid Cursing in Front of Kids

Dean Drobot/Shutterstock

“Mrs. Andersen? We need to talk about your son’s new favorite word.” I’ll never forget that phone call from the preschool teacher of my adorable, cherub-cheeked four-year-old. Like many kids his age, my son had discovered a fun new word and wanted to use it all the time—and the fact that it got a major reaction from all the adults around him made it just that much better. The word? Motherf*****.

The day prior, I’d been bending over to tie his shoe when his older brother threw open the front door, nailing me right between the eyes with the metal doorknob. I’m not much of a curser but there’s nothing like pain so searing that you see stars (literally) to make a mom lose her, um, shiznits. I let out a string of curse words that would make a sailor blush. And of course, my kiddo remembered the best one.

When he got home that day, we had to have a long talk about appropriate language and I learned as much of a lesson as he did. If you don’t want to hear your toddler call their friend a “d*****bag” then you’d better not say it in front of him. As a parent, your creativity is one of your best skills—and we don’t just mean with Play-Doh. Here are some of our favorite swear-substitutes real parents use.

1. “My curse words come out sounding like a mix of Yosemite Sam, the Swedish Chef, and (before we knew what a horrible person he truly is) Bill Cosby, along the lines of Flootin’ frappin’ shligmen durnkin!” —Ted Williams

2. “I will call someone a ‘Richard’ as shorthand for ‘d*ck.’ My twins and several adult friends actually think my boss’s real name is Richard.” —Tracey Having a “creative vocabulary” is one of the 11 surprising signs you’ll make a great parent someday.

3. “The other day I dropped something in the kitchen and, because I could see my son watching me, I exclaimed, ‘Ugh, fork me!’. He thought it was so silly; I was glad it was safe.” —Kylie Larson

4. “Once, when I was opening a fizzy drink, it sprayed purple juice all over the bench top, the floor, the ceiling, and my clothes. ‘F…’ I started to say until I felt three sets of little eyes staring at me. I immediately changed it to ‘F… or coughs and colds take medicine!’ It was so funny that now we just use ‘for coughs and colds’ to express frustration.” —Nate Hamon

5. “Shut the f*** up used to be a part of my pre-kids vocabulary but now it’s ‘shut the front door!‘ which is way funnier anyhow.” —Amber Graves (Here’s why kids behave so much worse at home.)

6. “During the Great Lice Outbreak of 2015 (from which our household will forever be scarred), I discovered my new favorite phrase ‘holy cannoli!’ It replaced holy sh*t whenever I found another bug and it’s even better because it rhymes.” —Maryrose DeGroot

7. “My son once told friends from church that ‘my daddy says the F-word all the time at home.’ I had to quickly explain that I say ‘fart’ instead, and that’s what we call ‘the F word’!” —Tor Bailey

8. “‘The classic ‘fudge!‘ is my go-to for anything from stubbed toes, to an eggshell in the omelet, to a realization that I posted a comment on social media with a spelling mistake.” —Nate Hamon

9. “I’m from Minnesota and for whatever reason parents here always say ‘Uff da!’ I’m not sure if it’s from our Norwegian roots or even what word exactly it’s supposed to replace, but it always makes me smile.” —Kim DeBerge

10. “The c-word is the curse word I hate the most but if I ever have to say it, I spell it out with ‘see you next Tuesday.’ Adults know what I mean and young kids don’t even pick up it’s a bad word.” —Alison Hill (Have you read these hilarious texts gone wrong, from parents?

11. “As a foster mom, I’ve had quite a few kids that come with serious potty mouths, so I have a lot of practice with fake cursing. The one I probably use the most is ‘friggin!’ which I don’t love but it’s better than the real thing.” —Lisa Gunn

12. “Oh shnuck! It gets my kids laughing every time—mostly because it comes out like oh shhhhhhhhhnuck!” —Emily Tessman

13. “‘Fart knocker‘ is the one I use as a direct cuss at the kids. As in, ‘Stop fighting you little fart knockers!’ For emphasis, I’ll add frickin’. ‘Stop fighting you frickin’ little fart knockers!’” —Nate Hamon

14. “When I slammed my finger in the door, I yelled out ‘son of a… nutcracker!‘ Another favorite for when I hurt myself is ‘cheese and rice!‘” —Casey Wetjen

15. “I like to yell ‘shoot a monkey!’ when I drop things, break something, forget something. I have no idea where that came from but it works!” —Presley Salmon

16. “‘Shiitake mushrooms!‘ is apparently my go-to swear for when I’m in pain. Like, I’ve sliced my shin open on the dishwasher twice and both times I end up yelling about produce? We all know what word I was really thinking!” —Presley Salmon

17. “I like to say ‘well butter my bum!’ and ‘son of a biscuit!‘ I guess I like food curses!” —Jeni Svestka (Polite language is just one of the 17 forgotten manners parents should be teaching their children.)

18. “Clusterfluff. It has almost all the satisfaction of saying the original but it’s way more kid-friendly.” —Anda Teverzczuk

19. “I started out by using ‘hells bells‘ a lot and somehow it morphed into ‘hells bells and cockle shells’ which my kids mistakenly heard as ‘hells bells and taco shells‘ and so now I just yell ‘taco shells.’ Yep, it’s like playing ‘telephone’ but with cursing.” —Carlie Pehrson

20. “Sometimes I say ‘sugar dumplings‘ but, let’s be honest, I just straight up curse most of the time.” —Cheri Gould

21. “Some parents are so creative! In the heat of the moment, all I can think of is ‘curses!‘ Because I’m original like that.” —Shanae Briggs

22. “I go full-on sound effects. Like I say, ‘Are you (beep noise) kidding me?’ so that the part that is censored can be filled in by whatever curse word the listener imagines.” —Tor Bailey

23. “I say ‘shoot the dog!‘ when something goes unexpectedly wrong, like a house project or when the dryer breaks. Ironically, I only use it when I’m in a good mood.” —Rosalie Davis (Want more? Check out these 11 parents quotes that will have you dying with laughter.)

24. “My family loves to bowl and whenever I throw a gutter ball everyone waits for me to yell ‘the F-word.’ However, my ‘f-word’ is ‘fooey!’ Or is it ‘phooey?’ but that doesn’t start with F. Whatever, my curse word, my spelling!” —Shirley Jamiel

25. “Instead of ‘what the f***, I say, ‘What the monkey?’ It works even better because it’s so random it usually diffuses the situation.” —Tor Bailey

26. “I’m a big curser but when I don’t drop a real f-bomb, I go with ‘frack.‘ It works and there’s the potential for some interesting environmental conversations.” —Sarah Barak (Know a funny parent? Here are 17 of the best compliments you can give a parent.)

27. “My mother’s favorite swear word when I was growing up was ‘Christopher Columbus!‘ I didn’t realize how funny that was until I became a parent myself and said it.” —Janet Elise

28. “I say ‘darn‘ a lot. So when we moved to a new city and I got lost trying to figure out the GPS directions, I’d yell ‘darn!’ every few seconds. It got so much that my oldest just assumed that yelling ‘darn’ was just a part of driving, like turning on the blinker.” —Rosalie Davis

29. “I normally swear like a sailor. But there are some moments when even four-letter words aren’t enough to express my feelings. In those cases, ironically, I yell ‘ALL THE SWEARS!’. Which doesn’t technically have any curse words in it at all!” —Marste McDonald

30. “A colleague and I were brainstorming ideas for curse words you could say in front of her young kids at home. ‘Shootskis‘ was a favorite. So was ‘fahrfegnugen.’ The best part was though is everyone started saying them in the office too!” —Lara Wiz

31. “‘Sugar Honey Ice Tea!‘ is my favorite because it’s cute for kids but adults can quickly figure out it’s an acronym!” —Anne Poirier

32. “At three feet tall, my youngest is the perfect height to nail my very patient husband right in his tender parts. He yells ‘sunny beaches!’ or ‘fudgenuts!‘. Depending on how hard the hit was, there might be some real ones mixed in too!” —Marianne Farquhar

33. “My husband and I have four daughters so ‘oh my hell…o kitty‘ has come out of our mouths more than once!” —Nicole Westenskow

34. “‘Mother trucker!‘ is my favorite kid-safe curse word to use around my two young daughters.” —Jennie Berglund

35. “My grandmother used to say ‘god d*mnit’ quite frequently, until the grandkids came along. I grew up hearing her yell ‘God… bless America!‘ I always wondered why she sounded so angry about America.” —Adrianne McMahon

36. “I almost don’t want to admit I actually say this but here goes. ‘Oh my freakin’ heck!‘” —Kacy Moller

37. “If I want to curse and don’t want my kids to hear it, I just swear in German. ‘Schiesse‘ is my favorite. It means sh*t but sounds so much nicer!” —Jill Fairchild

And if you find you can’t stop cursing, don’t sweat it. Turns out swearing is one of the weird habits that means your smarter than everyone else.

The Secret Codes (Original Version) 1/2

I’d like to remind everyone that this is a look into my past for my 150 followers milestone. This story was created and written within 2005-2006!! I’d also like to remind people that I’ve edited it only to the point of spell checking, and changing a couple of names which had some IRL connections (And per the requests of some of my IRL friends I threw into this story). All grammar, punctuation, formatting, point of views (povs), plot holes, and self-censoring remains in tact. Fun fact; my most commonly misspelled word twelve years ago was “toward”. It mostly was spelled “Twrod” or “Towse” or something to that extent.

Enough of me rambling. Enjoy me at my worst/newest.

Part 1 Code Amy

Chapter 1 The New Arrival (night before school started)(normal POV) Now that XANA is out of the computer he thought he should get rid of those kids Jerimie, Yumi, Odd, Ulrich, And Aelita. "But how am I going to do it?" Xana thought, "Wait I could become human and get rid of them when most venerable!". So he transformed into a pre-teen with black hair, a blood red shirt, blue jeans, kinda tan skin, and a medallion with his symbol on it. "now to get a file into the government files" he thought. So he did and she also signed up for the academy his arch rivals attended. (morning of the first day of school) Finally the summer was over and it was back to school. During the summer, Aelita stayed at Yumi's house. "So how was your summer Jerimie"? Aelita asked. "Fine" Jerimie responded. "Same as mine, no Xana attacks at all" Aelita said. "I know, ever since Xana got out of the supercomputer there have been no attacks at all" Jerimie said. "Must be scheming" Ulrich said. Xana was unknowingly was watching his enemies talk about their summer, he heard a rolling suitcase in the distance. At the gate was a girl of 13 with straight long brown hair, same skin tone as XANA's, a black shirt with hearts on it that also has spots of colors on it, Brown jeans, and pink and gray tennis-shoes. "Oh great it's her" Xana murmured in sarcasm. She walked into the school grounds looking nervous and bumped into Sissi. "Hey watch were your going!" Sissi shouted at her. "I'm sorry, i wasn't looking were I was going" The new girl said and walked off. The girl went up to Yumi and tapped her on the shoulder then Yumi turned around. "Excuse me" the new girl said, "I’m new here can you take me to the principal’s office please?". "Sure thing" Yumi responded. "Thanks" the new girl said as they headed towards the principal's office. When they arrived there the new girl knocked on the door. "Come in" said the principal they did. "Hello I’m new here can I have a map of the school and my dorm room number please?" she asked. "Sure thing but what's your name?" responded the principal. "It's Amy" Amy said, "Amy Liane Karren, sir". "Yes we have been expecting you Amy here is a map and your dorm room number and your class list" the principal said, "Your parents suggested a double". "Thanks and ok" Amy said. "Now you must be getting ready before classes start" he said. "Ok I will" Amy said. Amy and Yumi walked out of the principal's office and Amy found her dorm in no time and her dorm partner was Aelita. "Aelita is that really you!" Amy said. "Yes it is, I can't believe your back Amy I missed you so much!" Aelita responded as they hugged. "I know it's been so long" Amy said. After they unpacked they went and found the others at a bench. "Hey friends this is Amy" Aelita said, "she is my best friend before she moved to America and now". "Hi" Ulrich, Jerimie, Yumi, and Odd said together. "Amy this is Odd, Jerimie, Ulrich, and Yumi my other best friends" Aelita said. "Pleasure to meet you all" Amy said to the gang. "Well this is going to be more fun then I thought it would" Xana muttered with a evil looking smile.

Chapter 2 A Secret Is Revealed (Around when classes start)(Amy's POV) "Well classes are about to start Amy, Where are you suppose to go?" Yumi asked. "I'm suppose to go to Physics 7th grade" I responded. "Hey us to!" Ulrich, Odd, Aelita, and Jerimie said together. "Great we can go together!" I said. we all made it to class in time and i was requested to stand outside of the classroom with the other new student. "All right class, settle down!" Miss. Hertz said to the class "we have two new students, one named Amy Karren from America, come in Amy". And so I did and Introduced myself. "And the other is named.. uh I can't quite pronounce it" Miss. Hertz said and the other student walked in "young man what is your name?". he stood right next to me and said "My name is XANA". I was shocked as soon as he said that and so was Jerimie, Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita. "Right, now Amy you can sit behind Odd and Xana go sit behind Herve over there" Miss. Hertz said as she pointed to our seats. Xana and I sat in the seats Miss. Hertz assigned us. As the teacher was teaching I heard Odd whisper to Jerimie "Hey Einstein do you think that is really Xana?" Odd asked Jerimie. "I'm not sure, but if it is Xana we have got to be very careful around him" responded Jerimie. Xana stared at us with an evil smile and I was getting creeped out by it. Soon the bell rang and we went off to our next class. (Lunch time, Cafiteria)(Aelita's POV) We all sat down at the table we usually sat at and made sure Xana wasn't around. "Hey can I sit with you guys, I got nowhere else to sit" Asked Amy. "Sure Amy you can sit here" I said to Amy. "I can't believe Sissi asked Xana to go out with her!" said Odd. "No wait Xana is here!?" Yumi asked in shock. "Yeah he is here as human" Amy answered. "Oops" said Odd. "You Know about Xana?" I asked Amy. "Know about XANA, I helped Franz Hopper built him!" Amy responded to my question. The rest of the gang and me were shocked about this discovery. "Honestly I helped with the terrain, and Beta tested with your mom Aelita" Amy continued. "My mom Beta Tested the Scanners?" I asked. "Yup, unfortunately wen she did it she didn't make it into Lyoko" Amy said, "I made it just fine and I know that Xana somehow turned evil, I tried to stop your dad from going to Lyoko but it was to late". (Flashback)(normal POV) "Aelita this way, hurry" Franz Hopper said to his daughter. "Ok" Aelita said back. they went to the factory. "W-Where are we daddy?" Aelita asked "In my factory" Franz answered, "now come on". They went down to the floor with the scanners "See you in a minute honey" Franz said as he entered the scanner. "See you in a minute daddy" said Aelita as Amy rushed in. "Wait Franz don't do it!" Amy yelled but it was to late Franz and Aelita where in Lyoko. "No I’m to late!" Amy said crying. (end of flashback)

Chapter 3 Xana's Attack (still cafeteria)(Odd's POV) As Amy told all she knew about Lyoko and Xana, I felt like we were all being watched. "Uh Amy sorry to interrupt but I think Xana is watching us!" I said. "Odd, are you sure" Amy asked me. "I'm sure of it" I responded and right I was for once Xana was watching them from outside the cafeteria. "Now for Phase Two to get rid of those brats once and for all!" Xana said quietly while holding his medallion. He walked to the factory (the way the gang does from school) and he went to the Super Calculator and began typing something on the screen. "Now the fate of that little pest Amy will be sealed forever Muhahahaha!" Xana said in a very evil way. (back with the gang)(Jerimie's POV) "Hey I just realized that there still might be an activated tower in Lyoko!" I said to the gang. "Then what are we waiting for let's go deactivate it" Odd said confidently. "Yeah, But won't that separate Xana from the supercomputer permanently? Amy asked."Uh maybe" I said. "Unless.." Amy whispered. "Unless what?" Yumi asked. "Well I do remember Franz Doing another code besides CODE: LYOKO" Amy said, "but I forget the code and what it does". After she said that the bell rang for the next class. Luckily none of us were in Xana's class that period because we discussed our plan we were Lyoko during class. The bell finally rang for the end of the day. "Come on let's get to the factory before Xana does!" Aelita said "That sounds like a good plan besides who knows what Xana could do to the Super Calculator if he gets there first" Soon they were at the factory bridge and Xana was there. "Going somewhere?" Xana asked with an evil smile. "Xana, Just go away your not part of the Supercomputer anymore so you should have no reason to be here" Amy Shouted at Xana. "Oh but I do" Xana said still with an evil smile. Just then Xana used his fast running ability and kidnapped Amy. "AHH! GUYS HELP!" Amy screamed in terror as Xana ran towards the scanner room. "Don't worry we'll get you back Amy!" Odd said as the gang ran after Xana. They got to the Super Calculator room just when.. "Virtualization!" Xana Shouted and Amy appeared in Lyoko in the forest region. She looked Just Like Zelda in Lyoko only she had a staff in her hand. The staff was made of pure Silver and at the top was a Gold star. "Xana What are you up to!?" I shouted. He just sat there with his evil look on his face. Also he raised his medallion and we were all in Lyoko but Xana wasn't, he was in complete control even when he was not in the supercomputer.

Chapter 4 The Fight In Lyoko Part 1 (In Lyoko)(Yumi's Pov) "Jerimie, you look ridiculous!" Amy said laughing. "Hey! Cut that out" Jerimie demanded. "Ok ok don't get so mad gosh" Amy said. I looked at Jerimie and tried not to laugh, his Lyoko form was a mixture if what Ulrich looked like back when we thought Lyoko was called Xanadu and bionic metal stuff. "Look out here comes the unwelcoming committee" Ulrich said and right he was, 5 of each monster (except the Sciphizoa of course) was headed toward them. "What are those black and white monsters?" Amy asked. "They are called Tarantulas" I responded. "Charge!" Odd yelled and everyone except Jerimie and Aelita head towards the monsters to battle. "Uh I think I'll stay here and guard Aelita" said Jerimie. "Ok Romeo" I said laughing Jerimie blushed and Aelita did to. "Amy look out, behind you!" I yelled to Amy. The Sciphizoa was behind Amy and it picked her up and started to take her memory. "Ya" I yelled as I threw one of my fans at the Sciphizoa's tentacles and let Amy go. "Amy are you ok?" I asked Amy as I helped her up. "Yeah I’m fine" Amy responded, "OUCH". Amy got hit by a Blok's laser in the arm. "I thought we had life points" Amy said in pain. "I guess Xana has other plans for you" I said as I helped her up again. "By the way what was that squidy thing doing?" Amy asked me. "First off, that squidy thing is called the Sciphizoa and secondly it was sucking out you memory" I responded. "Why do you think it was after me?" Amy asked. "I don't know but is seems Xana wants to get rid of you for some reason" I responded, "now let's go kick some monster butt". "Right behind you Yumi" Amy said. "No need to ladies we got them all" Odd said triumphantly. "Oh man i wanted to beat up that new monster" Amy said complaining. "Hey where is Jerimie and Aelita?" Ulrich asked. "Over here" Aelita yelled from the north point of the sector. "We check every tower in the sector and none of them are active so we think the activated tower is in Sector 5" Jerimie said. "Well let's go Sector 5 is my favorite sector in Lyoko!" Amy said. "Ok" everyone said in agreement. "S-C-I-P-I-O SCIPIO" everyone said and the teleporter appeared and soon they were in Sector 5. "I hate that teleporter" Odd said with a queasy felling. "Grr I hope they don't find it" Xana said to himself, "well I guess I'll have to take care of them myself". He started up the transfer program and he when into a scanner and he was in Lyoko (Sector 5 to be exact).

Chapter 5 The Fight In Lyoko Part 2 (Sector 5 in Lyoko)(Xana's POV) I appeared in Sector 5 still in the form of the boy I was on Earth but I had a black clock on with my symbol on it and my eyes glowed bright red. Behind me was an army of monsters ready to take out those brats. I led them into the room with the tower and my enemies were all there. Ulrich turned around and was shocked about my monster army. "Oh crap" Ulrich said. What's wrong Ulrich?" the gang asked and they saw all the monsters and me. "Is that who I think it is?" Odd asked. "I'm afraid it is Xana, Odd" Amy said to Odd as the monsters started to charge toward everyone (except Xana of course). "I'm going to try to deactivate the tower, I remember the code but I think it only works for me. Amy said to Aelita. "Go for it and be careful" Aelita responded. Amy ran as fast as she could to the tower but I stopped her from reaching it and the Sciphizoa was right next to me. "Face it Amy your time is up" I said to her in a taunting manner. "Not if I can help it" Amy said as she ran towards me with the staff pointing in my direction. Quickly I grabbed the staff and threw her off to the side with a clunk. I walked up toward her and said "It's over for you and you know it". "Sciphizoa, drain her memory until not a speck of memory is left" I said to the Sciphizoa and it obeyed. It picked Amy up and started to suck out her memory again. Yumi looked back a moment later and saw what was happening to Amy. "XANA YOU CRAZY SON OF A *****!" Yumi said furiously as she threw her fan towards me. It hit me taking 20 points of damage leaving me left with 80 life points. I transformed into her and threw a fan at her and she devirtualized. I transformed back into my original virtual form and watched Amy's memory get taken away. Suddenly Ulrich's sword cut thought the Sciphizoa's tentacles and let Amy go and she laid on the ground looking weak. "I-I feel so weak" Amy said in a faint voice. Ulrich ran up to her and asked "Amy, are you ok?". "Ulrich, tell Aelita the code is CODE: AMY" Amy said before she fainted. "XANA WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Ulrich said yelling. "Oh just a little virus than makes it when the Sciphzoa drains her memory it also drains her energy!" I said laughing. "YOUR GOING TO PAY FOR THAT" Ulrich said as the others came to see what was going on. "Aelita, Amy says the code is CODE: AMY" Ulrich whispered to Aelita. "Thanks Ulrich I'll go deactivate the tower" Aelita whispered back before she ran toward the tower. Jerimie, Odd, and Ulrich got out there weapons prepared to fight. The monsters came in. "Stop, this is my battle so stand down!" Xana told his monsters. Aelita entered the tower and reached the middle of it as I started to battle Odd, Ulrich, and Jerimie. When Aelita reached the top Jerimie was devirtualized. Aelita put her hand on the screen and it said AELITA. Then Odd and Ulrich were devirtualized when I realized they were distracting me. The screen in the tower then said CODE and Aelita typed AMY. "NOO" I screamed as the tower deactivated and I disappeared into the supercomputer. "So that's what the code does, deactivate the tower and put Xana back in the supercomputer" Aelita said. as she exited the tower and ran towards Amy who is still fainted. "Amy, Amy can you hear me?" Aelita asked as tears started to come out of here eyes, "Amy?". She cried on her shoulder in sadness and Amy put her hand on Aelita's back. "I can hear you fine Aelita" Amy said. Aelita was now crying for joy because she knew that Amy was ok. "Oh Jerimie you should lunch a return to the past right now" Amy suggested. "Way ahead of you, Return To the Past Now" Jerimie said as a bubble appeared and surrounded Earth. (Physics Classroom)(normal POV) "All right class settle down" Miss Hertz said to the class, "we have a new student named Amy Karren and she is from America, Amy please come in". Amy walked in the room and stood in front of the class And smiled at Aelita, Jerimie, Odd, and Ulrich. "I hope you like it here in France Amy" Miss Hertz said to Amy. "Oh something tells me that I will" Amy said still smiling and thinking about the adventure she just had. (End of Chapter) (End of Story)

Part 2 Code Hopper

Chapter 1 Amy's Amnesia (night of the first day of school)(Amy and Aelita's room)(normal POV) "Man what a long day" Amy said as she collapsed on her pillow. "Yeah it was long" Aelita said. Amy took out her IPod shuffle and started to listen to "Breaking Free". "What song are you listening to?" Aelita asked. "Breaking Free, from a movie" Amy responded. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. "ARE YOU ASLEEP YET IF NOT GO TO BED NOW!" Jim yelled. So they did and they both had nightmares and woke up a few times in the middle of the night. (morning)Cafeteria)(Amy's POV) "I'm not so hungry right now" I said morning. "Did you have nightmares to Amy?" Aelita asked. "Yeah some of them were just plain weird and they were in the past" I responded. "Hey since your not hungry, can I have your food?" Odd asked. "Here I don't want it" I said handing Odd my breakfast. Odd smiled in a funny way and started eating. Soon the bell rang for the other students to arrive and we met up with Yumi. "so what are we going to do about Xana?" Yumi asked. "Let's shut him down during lunch and say we were eating outside to the teachers" Jerimie responded. "Sounds good" Yumi said then looked over at Aelita and I. "What's wrong with you two?" Yumi asked Aelita and I. "Nightmares" we said together. "Oh sounds like bad ones to me" Yumi said. "Yup" I said. then the bell rang for first period. "You'll feel better once we shut down Xana" Jerimie said to me as we walked to class. "I guess" I said back. (The Factory, Supercomputer Floor)(Lunch time)(Ulrich's POV) "Come on let's do this together!" I said to the gang. "Yeah, time to shut Xana down once and for all!" Amy said. we all put one hand on the switch. "On three, one two three!" Jerimie said and we pulled down the switch and Amy suddenly fainted. "Turn it on turn it on!" Aelita said when she saw Amy faint. So we did and Amy woke up. "W-Where am I?" Amy asked in confusion. "Very funny Amy" I said sarcastically. "No seriously where am I and who are you guys?" Amy asked. "and who am I?". "Uh oh I think Amy has amnesia" Jerimie said. "What is amnesia and is Amy my name?" Amy asked still in confusion. "Yes Amy is your name and amnesia is when you forget everything" Yumi answered. "We better take her to the Infirmary" I said. So we did take her there. (Infirmary)(same POV) "So what happened" asked the nurse. "Uh she got hit by a baseball on the head hard by some toddlers" I lied. "Well if that is the case, it should only be a few hours for the amnesia to wear off" the nurse said. "Ok thanks we'll go to class now" Odd said. "Now you need some rest Amy" the nurse said to her. "Ok I guess I will” Amy said. Soon it was the end of the day and we when to check up on Amy. "Hey Amy you ok?" Aelita asked as they walked in the door. "Aelita?" Amy said as she woke up. "Why am I in the infirmary" Amy asked. "Xana took two fragments from you when you were in Lyoko, and when we shut off Xana you fainted and then when we turned it back on you got amnesia" Jerimie explained. "Oh I see and I’m guessing one of the fragments was a memory fragment" Amy said. "Must have been" Yumi said.

Chapter 2 A Message From Franz (Hallway)(Aelita's POV) As we told Amy what happened to her, I was thinking why Xana let himself get into the supercomputer so easily. "Aelita are you there?" Amy asked. "Huh, were you talking to me?" I asked. "Yes I was" Amy responded. Suddenly Jerimie's laptop vibrated. "Xana's attacking" Jerimie said with no surprise. "Let's go deactivate that tower!" Amy said walking away. "Oh no not you" Jerimie said as he grabbed Amy's arm, "we can't risk you getting caught by the Sciphizoa". Jerimie looked at his computer as the others were going down the hall. "Come on Jerimie" Odd yelled to Jerimie. "Hold on, it's not Xana, it's Franz!" Jerimie said and we stopped and ran toward Jerimie. "Your right it is my father" I said to Jerimie. "Franz can activate towers?" Amy asked. "Yes, we don't know how he does it but he can" Yumi answered. We went to Jerimie’s dorm and when we got there, Milly was typing on Jerimie’s computer. "It must be him trying to reach us again" Jerimie said. "Looks like it" Ulrich said. We left her alone and a few hours later she got off and went to her dorm. "I'll try to decode it, in the meantime, you can go back to your dorms" Jerimie said, "I'll contact you when I decode it fully". "I got to get home anyway" Yumi said and she ran off towards her home. (The Middle of the Night)(Jerimie’s POV) "Finally I'm done decoding" I said to myself. I took out my cell phone and told everyone to come. "It's a video clip" I said to everyone once they all arrived. "Just play it Jerimie" Amy said. So I did. Suddenly Franz Hopper appeared on screen. "Hello everyone, thank you so much for putting Xana back in the supercomputer" Franz said in the video, "Amy, if your watching this you should know what Xana is after but I'll tell you anyway". "You remember when Xana made those codes, well I hope you do because he is after them" Franz said, "You have got to protect them at all costs, and you know which one to guard the most". "Right now I'm somewhere in Sector 5, Xana is holding me prisoner in exchange for the codes!" Franz continued, "Jerimie, I can help you in finding my DNA-code but it will be dangerous and you must come to Lyoko". "Oh no Xana just figured out what I'm doing, Amy remember protect the secret codes with your life!" Franz said. The screen showed the Xana sign for two seconds then the video clip stopped and we all stared at Amy. "So that is why the Sciphizoa went after you only" I said. "I can't tell anyone the codes it will only put you in danger" Amy said. "We understand Amy" Odd said. Amy started to cry with her knees on the floor and said "I shouldn't have came back here, I knew this was going to happen". "Don't worry we won't let Xana get those codes" Aelita said as she patted Amy on the back. "Thanks guys, your the best friends I've ever had" Amy said as she wiped up her tears, "We should get to bed now". We all went to bed unknowing that Herb and Nicolas heard everything. "We got to tell Sissi about this" Herb said. After they went to sleep Xana activated a tower. He came out and sucked Amy into the computer without a sound.

Chapter 3 Escape From The Supercomputer Part 1 (Inside the Supercomputer)(Amy's POV) I woke up to be in a very strange place. It was all white and the world of Lyoko was beneath. "Where am I?" I asked. "Your on my turf now" said a voice from a distance. "Xana, what did you do?!" I yelled not knowing where Xana was, "wait if Xana is here that must mean..". "That your in the supercomputer with me" Xana said as he suddenly appeared in front of me in his Lyoko form. (At School)(Sissi's POV) "Good work, now lets go find them" I said to Herb and Nicolas. "Hey as anyone seen Amy?" Aelita asked the gang. "Isn't she suppose to be in your room?" Jerimie asked Aelita back. "Well when I got up she wasn't" Aelita said back. "Well we haven't seen her" Odd said. Then I walked up to them ready to fine out what was going on. "Well well well if it isn't the miss I'm so popular" Odd said. "Very funny Odd, now what's this about secret codes and this Xana thing?" I asked. "Hey how did you know about.." Odd said. Then he realized Herb and Nicolas were spying on the last night. "I'm waiting, by the way where is that Amy girl?" I asked I was impatiently waiting for an answer. "We don't know" Answered Ulrich. "Excuse us for a moment" Aelita said as they huddled up. "Looks like we are going to have to tell he everything about Lyoko and Xana" Yumi whispered. "We should show her to but not have her go into Lyoko" Jerimie whispered. "Ok" Everyone said in agreement. "We will tell and show you if you promise not to tell anyone" Aelita said. "What do you mean by showing?" I asked. then they took Herb, Nicolas and I to the old abandoned factory. "What are we doing here?" Herb asked. "Get in the elevator" Odd said. So we did and the elevator went down a floor and then the doors opened up to this weird lab. "Is this where you have been going all this time?" I asked. "Yup, and Aelita came from the world we told you about on the way here" Jerimie explained. Suddenly the computer was typing by itself. "Help I'm trapped in the Supercomputer with Xana, from Amy" Jerimie said, "Oh no we got to get her out of there!". We'll head for the scanners" Odd said. "Wait Sissi, Herb, Nicolas, go with them, Yumi stay here" Jerimie said. "But you said we weren’t going to have them go to Lyoko and why are you going to Lyoko?" Ulrich said. "If we wan to set Franz Hopper free I have to go to Lyoko and we need all the help we can get" Jerimie responded. "Ok" Yumi said. Then Everyone except Yumi went to the scanners. "Is this safe?" Herb, Nicolas and I asked at the same time. "Yup it is" Odd responded as the doors closed. "Transfer... Scanner... Virtualization!" Yumi shouted and we appeared in a weird Desert place. We looked different, Herb was a Ninja, Nicolas was an Archer and I was a Mage. “So is this all of Lyoko?" I asked. "Nope there are 4 more sectors and one of them is part of Xana himself" Jerimie said. "Let's go there now, maybe we'll find Amy there" Odd said. So we headed north but we were stopped by weird spider looking monsters. "Monsters! Ah!" I screamed. "You have powers try to use them" Odd yelled to me and my gang.

Chapter 4 Escape From The Supercomputer Part 2 (In Lyoko, Desert region)(Normal POV) "How do I use my powers?" Sissi asked. "Just think" Odd said. "Ok I'll try Sissi said. She thought hard and lasers came out of her eyes. "Cool" Sissi said. "Laser Arrow!" Odd shouted as he fired one of his arrows and destroyed a monster. "Check this out, Elemental arrow, Fire!" Nicolas shouted and all the rest of the monsters where destroyed. "Lets get to the end of the sector quick f we want to get Amy back" Jerimie said as they ran to the end of the sector. "Now what?" Sissi asked. "S-C-I-P-I-O SCIPIO" said Odd, Ulrich, Aelita and Jerimie and the transporter appeared and soon they were in Sector 5. "Oh man I always hate going in there" Odd said. "If you throw you better not do it on me!" Sissi said. "AHHHH" Yelled a voice in the distance. "That sounded like Amy!" Ulrich said. They ran toward the screaming and soon they reached a room were they saw Amy running from a weird shadow thing. "What is that?" Herb, Nicolas and Sissi said together. "GUYS IT'S XANA, HELP!" Amy yelled as she ran up to all of them. "Uh what is Sissi, Nicolas and Herb doing in Lyoko?" Amy asked as she made a shield using her staff. "We need all the help we can get" Ulrich said. "Those codes will be mine!" Xana shouted as he shapeshifted from the shadow thing to his true Lyoko form. "I'll never let you get them Xana, so just go to ****!" Amy shouted back. "Ouch that has to hurt" Sissi said. "Aelita, Jerimie, go get Franz's Materialization and DNA-codes and Sissi go with them" Amy whispered. "Ok" Aelita, Jerimie, and Sissi whispered back and they ran off and some monsters followed them. "Why don't you just give up those codes now so you don't have to die for me to get them" Xana suggested. "NEVER IN YOUR LIFE XANA!" Amy shouted back. "There goes that temper of yours again, you do remember what happened when you lost your temper, right?" Xana asked (Flashback)(Same POV) "Franz I made it to Lyoko it more than we imagined!" Amy said to Franz whom was outside of Lyoko. "Bring up a visual so I can see" Franz said. "Ok here you go" Amy said. "My gosh, Amy your right it's the perfect place to live" Franz said. Suddenly a Blok hit Amy in the arm with it's laser. "OUCH, hey your not suppose to do that to me!" Amy Shouted as she stared to get mad. "Xanadu must have a bug in it" Franz said (Xana was originally called Xanadu). "Take this!" Amy shouted and she got even more mad. "I don't want you calling me Xanadu anymore, now just call me Xana" Xana said. "What do you want! Xana!?" Amy said as she almost lost her temper. "Oh nothing except for you to go away forever!" Xana said as he appeared hovering over the digital sea" "Xana!" Amy said as she ran towards him ready to fight and she lost her temper. Xana quickly moved out of the way and Amy was falling towards the Digital Sea. "Amy! no!" Franz said as he quickly devirtualized her. "I-I don't know what came over me, I'm sorry Franz" Amy apologized. (End Of Flashback) "Yeah well this time you don't have a Digital Sea for me to fall into!" Amy said as she ran toward Xana. He quickly moved just like last time and Amy ran right into a wall.

Chapter 5 Escape From The Supercomputer Part 3 (Lyoko, Sector 5)(Xana's POV) I laughed as Amy foolishly ran into the wall behind me. "Hey you did that on purpose!" Amy said as she was getting mad. "Well Duh, what did you think I would do that on accident?" I said to Amy taunting her. "Xana you are starting to get on my last nerve!" Amy yelled. "I thought I already was on your last nerve" I said as I was still taunting her long enough for the Sciphizoa to grab her. It picked her up and was taking her memory along with her energy thanks to that virus I put in her. (Lyoko, Outer part of Sector 5)(Aelita's POV) "Aelita have you found that DNA-code or the materialization code for Franz Hopper yet?" Jerimie asked as he was battling the Manta Rays with Sissi. "I think I just found his DNA-code!" I said, "I'm sending it up to you Yumi". "Ok got it Aelita" Yumi said, "I'll put it in the place of the Super Calculator Xana can't get into". So she did just that. "I found the other code!" I said, "Here you go Yumi". "Good work Aelita now lets go help the others" Jerimie said as they ran back to the other room. (Back in the inner part of Sector 5)(Xana's POV) "Xana let her go!" Odd and Ulrich shouted at me at the same time. "Not until those codes are mine!" I said. "Elemental Arrow, Ice" Nicolas shouted as he fired an Arrow at me and I was frozen(Nicolas mixed air and water). I broke free of the ice and lunched some dark thunder at the one who fired the arrow at me and he devirtualized. Suddenly Jerimie, Sissi, and Aelita were back in the room. "Oh no, look, Amy's memory is getting drained!" Aelita said as she pointed to Amy and the Sciphizoa. Suddenly the Sciphizoa let go of Amy and she fell on the floor. "Finally after all these years the secret codes are mine again! I said in victory, "you can have her back now, she has no use for me anymore". Every Lyoko warrior ran toward Amy's lifeless body. Aelita got down on her knees and started to cry. "Amy, please don't go, we need you" Aelita said in tears to the lifeless virtual body. Suddenly monster in every region where going into towers and entered the secret code Code: XANA. The towers glowed red from the inside out and Lyoko turned dark. I started to devirtualize and get separated from the supercomputer and my monsters including the Sciphizoa materialized. "Goodbye Yumi" I said to Yumi as my monster fired at her and she either fainted or died I couldn't tell but there was blood on the floor. "Now for my takeover of this pathetic world" I said. (Lyoko)(Normal POV) Everyone in Lyoko was crying for Amy's death. Suddenly Amy was lifting off the ground with a white arura around her. "Franz is returning the memory Xana didn't take with him to Earth!" Jerimie said and everyone stopped crying.

Chapter 6 Xana's Earth Takeover (Lyoko, Sector 5)(Ulrich’s POV) We watched silently as Franz was returning Amy's memory(Like how he did to Aelita in The Key). Soon Amy woke up and we all cheered for it. "Why is everyone cheering?" Amy asked in confusion. "Xana taunted you long enough for the Sciphizoa to grab you and took the secret codes and once Xana was out of Lyoko Franz returned your memory" I explained to Amy. "WHAT XANA HAS THE SECERET CODES?" Amy said in shock. "Yup he does" I said. "Oh man I can't believe this happened!" Amy said in panic. "Calm down Amy!" Aelita said. "How are we suppose to get out of here?" Amy asked. "Leave that to me" said Nicolas who was outside of Lyoko in front of the Super Calculator, "I hid from Xana and when he left I went out of hiding". "Good thinking, now get us home" Amy said. So Nicolas did and Jerimie, Sissi, Odd, Amy, Herb, Aelita and I went up to the Super Calculator room. "YUMI" I shouted as i saw Yumi on the floor with blood around her, "Yumi, I never got the chance to tell you this but I love you Yumi" I said then I cried. Yumi woke up and said "Ulrich, I love you to". "I'll get to work on getting Franz Hopper Materialized" Jerimie said, "In the mean time you all have to go fight Xana and make sure he doesn't take over the world". "Ok" Everyone except Jerimie said. So we ran off to fight Xana. As they left Jerimie started to type on the computer. (Kadic Boarding School grounds)(Normal POV) Xana started to cause his havoc at the school his rivals attended. "Muhahahaha yes fear me for I shall be ruler of this pathetic world!" Xana said. "Not if we have anything to say about it" Yumi and Amy said in confidences. "You two, I thought you were dead!" Xana said in surprise. "Looks like fate had other plans for us" Amy said. "Well now I can finish you two off here and now" Xana said as his hands started to glow black about to launch that dark lightning. "Uh oh, Run!" Yumi said as she turned around and ran away. Amy did the same but a little late because she got hit by the dark thunder. "I hope this plan works, because if not we'll be doomed" Yumi thought.

Chapter 7 The Hidden Power (Kadic School Grounds)(Yumi's POV) I watched as Xana electrocuted Amy with his dark lightning. "Hey guys, is it ready yet?" I asked Aelita, Odd, Ulrich, Sissi, Herb, and Nicolas. "Does it look like we are done?" Sissi asked sarcastically, "get over here and help us!". "Ok ok I'll help" I said. "Come on what's taking so long?" Amy thought. "Why is she just standing there?" Xana thought, "It's like he doesn't want to run away". "Come on give me your best shot Xana!" Amy shouted. "You want my best?" Xana asked, "you got my best". Then Xana charged up for 10 seconds, just enough time to lead him out of the school grounds, and he fired and hit Amy like a direct hit. "Had enough" Xana asked. Amy could barley get up but she still wouldn't quit. "Never" Amy said. "Then it is the end for you" Xana said then she began charging. "For a long time I've been waiting a long time to say this to you" Xana said, "goodbye forever Amy". He then fired by for some reason he missed. "What?" Xana said in confusion. Amy was glowing bright pink and then she transformed into her Lyoko form with the staff and everything! "How can this be possible!?" Xana asked himself. "What the?" I asked myself as I saw Amy transform. "What is it?" Sissi asked. "Come here and check out Amy" I said. We looked at Amy and we were confused and shocked. "Time for you to go away forever Xana" Amy said. She then pit her staff in front of her and it turned into a Lyoko tower screen and it said 'Code'. Amy then typed in 'Hopper' and Xana disappeared along with all his monsters. Amy then transformed to normal and was fainted. "Amy!" Aelita shouted as she ran over to her. "Aelita, what happened?" Amy asked as she woke up. "I'll explain later for now we still have to free you from the supercomputer" Aelita said. "No need I already am" Amy said then Aelita and the rest of us were confused. "When I typed in Code: Hopper It deactivated the tower and returned my remaining memory including the secret codes" Amy explained. "Then all we need to do is get Franz Hoper free and then shut down Xana" I said. Suddenly my cell phone rang. "It's Jerimie" I said, "he says to come to the factory now". "Then let's go" Ulrich said. (Factory)(Normal POV) "I did it guys, Franz Hopper is ready for Materialization" Jerimie said. "No way!" Aelita and Amy said excitedly. "Way" Jerimie said. "Just do it Jerimie, I got a lot of questions for him" Sissi said. "Materialization Franz" Jerimie said as he did the procedure for Materialization. We then went down a floor to the scanners and in one of them was Franz Hopper. The creator of Lyoko was back on Earth at last. We all cheered except Sissi and her gang. Franz then woke up. "Thank you for freeing me" Franz said in gratitude, "now let's all go shut down Xana". We all went down a floor to the supercomputer room. "I'm not doing it you can all do it" Sissi and her gang said. "Fine by me" Amy said. "On three, one, two, three" Jerimie said. This time Amy did not faint nor did anyone. Xana was really gone. "Now we can live our lives without Xana" Odd said. (Epilogue) Franz got reinstated as a teacher at Kadic. Aelita now stays in The Hermitage with her father (After they cleaned up the place that is). it was just a week after they shut off Xana and everyone except Amy, Franz, Sissi and her gang was hanging out at the factory. Then there was an explosion at the factory. when Amy went to check it out she saw that they were all dead but Aelita was nowhere to be found. She saw a computer screen and saw the Xana symbol on it before it turned off. "How can it be possible?" Amy thought, "Xana has killed my only true best friends". Lucky for her her family had to go back to America. So Amy got on a plane hoping she can escape Xana forever...
