[DAY 2] masterlist ᡣ𐭩 !

— " platonic sleepovers that end up in with you in their arms " ; one bed / vacation ft. half of riize

♡list : @lecheugo , @imthisclosetokms , @rizzkisworld , @hyvelxve , @starryriize

"Cant believe i have to room with you," wonbin shoots you a look as he jingles the key into the door knob, finally opening with some struggle to reveal your beautiful hotel room. The walls painted white with a tall, warm yellow lamp at the side to illuminate the space. Only problem was, there was only one bed.

Everyone became fully aware of this information once the recipient informed them, breaking into a circle to play rock, paper, scissors. Winner and loser would be paired up together to get that singular bed, while everyone else was able to decide who they wanted to sleep with.

You won, wonbin lost, his eyes rolling as he clicks his tongue. He wasnt annoyed like how he acted.. he actually didnt mind, knowing that hed be comfortable with you. But he loved teasing you, watching as your lips form into a straight line. "If this was a horror movie.. im kicking you off the bed so the monster would eat you first." Wonbins head falls back as he laughs at your words, watching as your arms cross.

"I'll drag you with me." He gives you a wink equipped with a smirk, before grabbing one of the towels that sat at the edge of the bed. "Im gonna shower first." He says over his shoulder, your head nodding in acknowledgment although he couldnt see you, jumping onto the bed to turn on the tv. "Yeah, okay." You say, your full attention on the screen. "Take your time."

.

"Look whos here.." you say as the bathroom door opens, a grin appearing onto wonbins lips, his hands busy drying his wet hair with a towel. "Miss me?" His lips pucker, throwing that towel in the hamper along with the clothes he wore in the morning. "Are you going to shower?" He askes, taking the opportunity to slide into the bed next to you, lifting the blanket so it could lay comfortably on his legs.

"No, i showered before i got here."

"Cool." He plays with his fingers. "Are you going to play something?"

"Yeah.. im just trying to find something good," wonbin nods his head out of the corner on your eyes, your lips licking into full concentration. He couldnt help but admire you in this state, his eyes darting to your figure and across the room so it doesnt seem obvious that he was staring, his hands scratching the back of his neck.

Anyone that walked by could notice wonbins tiny liking towards you, his laughs becoming more frequent whenever you opened your mouth, the small desire to spend the rest of the day with you, and the next.. and the next.

He didnt know why but he found you so captivating, wanting to get to know you more and more as the time pasted. So he was a little too happy when you were being paired, but calmed himself down so no one could notice his growing feelings, and more importantly so he wouldnt get teased by his friend group.

"Found a movie!" You exclaim, snapping him out of his thoughts. His head turns when he realizes hes been staring at you this entire time, his ears pink as he prays that you didnt notice. "Should i turn off the lights?" You ask, completely oblivious. Thank god.. he breathes the breath he doesnt even know he was holding, a quick nod leaving his head.

.

The movies been playing in the background yet wonbin hasnt paid any attention to it. Not because the movie was boring but because he couldnt stop staring at you, and he was getting a little sleepy. A long yawn leaves his lips, shifting into the bed to get comfortable.

"Tired?" You ask, turning down the volume of the television so the latter could hear you better. Wonbin shakes his head in agreement, his eyes widening when your hands lace into his silky hair, giving it a soft pat. And suddenly, he doesnt care anymore, his head leaning into your touch before resting against your arm so you could play with it more, his eyes getting heavy. "Is this okay?" You ask for consent, watching as wonbin lets out another yawn in response, his eyes finally closing, drifting off into sleepy land.

The next morning, a sleepy hum leaves his lips, his head buring deeper into your chest as you lazily stroke his hair, your legs tangled and his arms wrapped around your waist. "Aww, they look so cute." A voice says, along with a snap of a camera. A snap of a camera? Without thinking, wonbin shoots up, a shocked sungchan and eunseok standing over them.

"Well good morning lovebirds-"

"Sungchan. Delete that. Right. Now."

"Its hyung to you-"

"I SAID DELETE IT!"

“Grace…please. Me and Riley have heard enough of your playlist. Just admit mine is better so we can carry on with our sleepover festivites.” Bree sighed, resting her head on Riley’s shoulder.

“Just one more song! Then I’ll be done.” Grace smiled as she pressed play on Shuffle as she went to her Spotify app, “Whatever song it is…I’m 101% sure you guys will lohooooove it.” 

The song played for a bit, the music bouncing around the room as Riley and Bree slowly started to realize what they were allowing themselves to listen to…

“…I-Is this…Peaches from the Mario movie…?” The blue eyed teen snickered, laughing louder as Bree just sadly facepalmed. 

The glasses wielding teenager got up from where she was sitting, standing up and basically snatching away Grace’s phone from her palms. 

“Okahay, yeahhhhhh…no. I’m turning this off.” The purple cladded girl mused as she did just that, giving the electronic back to the green pajama wearing girl. “So, based on popular vote…which was just me, myself and I…I declare myself the winner of Deciding Who’s Spotify Playlist is the MOST Banger! Or DWSPITMB for short.”

“How come you get to decide what playlist is quote on quote 'the best?!' I think mine is pretty suherb.��� The smaller teenager huffed. 

Bree adjusted her glasses, raising an unamused brow at her smaller friend as she sighed in disappointment. Riley, though, just chuckled in utter amusement, sitting on her bed criss-cross as she munched on some the leftover popcorn they made earlier in the night.

Bree loved proving people wrong…and Riley loved watching it allllll unfold. 

“First off: it’s superb. And second, no it is not! Your playlist just consists of meme songs!” The chocolate eyed girl said matter-of-factly.

The green cladded teenager scoffed, “Oh yeah? Like what?”

“Goofy Goober…Smash Mouth All Stars…It’s Raining Tacos��� shall I continue?” 

Grace crossed her arms, glancing to the side of her as she wallowed in defeat. 

In her defense…although the songs she liked were classified as 'meme songs'…they lowkey kind of ate down…

…Just a bit…

…Juuuuust a tad…?

“No…” The smallest of the three huffed. 

“And you!” Bree said as she pointed at Riley, ignoring the small surprised squeak that came out of the blondie, “Your playlist is just straight up Disney songs!! If that doesn’t scream basic I don’t know what does…” 

The blue cladded teenager swiflty got up and went towards her best friends which resulted into all of them looking like the formation of a small triangle, “Wooooah woah woah woah! Don’t drag me into this! Disney’s songs are peak and they will continue to stay peak!” 

Grace grimaced, rubbing the back of her neck, “After Encanto…Disney kinda fell off I’m not gonna lie, Ri…” She grumbled under her breath. But her dismay, Riley heard it loud and clear..

Crystal clear, to be exact.

“A GIRL WHO HAS 'NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP' IN HER PLAYLIST SHOULD NOT BE TALKING!!!” The girl in blue screamed. 

“IT’S GENUINELY A FUN SONG! YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS YOU DON’T HAVE MY MUSIC TASTE! AND AT LEAST MY PLAYLIST HAS A THEME…unlike someone I know…” The black haired teen snapped back, trying not to giggle at Bree’s loud and dramatic offended gasp. 

“HEY HEY HEY!! DON’T YOU EEEEEVEN START!!” The girl in glasses yelled, “You wouldn’t know good music if it hit you right in the face!”

“Oho I do so know good music! But you have Laufey, Jack Stauber and Green Day all in the same. playlist!!!” The blue iris wielding teenager scoffed, putting a hand on her hip, “And besides, if your playlist is the 'superb' one, what have I been listening to this entire time on my playlist, huh?”

“Trash.” Bree said plainly and simply, the three best friends locking eye contact with one another for a moment or two before bursting into loud uncontrollable cackles. 

The three teen’s laughed at their silliness, all sitting on Riley’s bed as they tried to calm down to the best to their abilities.

“Trash.” Grace exclaimed as she tried her best to match Bree’s voice before breaking character and snickering again, “PFFTHAH! Even the wahay yohou said ihat was juhust sohoho fucking peherfect.”

“Ihi dohon’t know whahat cahame ohohover me…i-ihit juhust happened!” The purple cladded teen snorted, pulling out her phone from out of her pocket, “Fohor the Archives?” 

“For the Archives.” The tallest teen agreed, all of them getting close to one another to take a picture. 

The brown eyed girl pressed the button to encapture the memory through a single photograph, looking down at it happily as she squinted, looking at it more attentively. 

Bree screamed in shock, putting her phone face down on the bed as she pulled her hood up, engulfing her face inside of it as she layed on her back, “MY GLASSES! MY. FREAKING. GLASSES!!! THEY’RE UPSIDE DOWN!! WHY DIDN’T YOU TWO TELL ME?!” She cried in embarrassment. 

Her two friend’s in question exchanged a look with each other, holding back more small snickers, “Ihi thought yohou were gohoing fohor aha look!” Grace grinned. 

“I WASN’T!!!” The purple cladded one huffed, fixing her glasses so they weren’t upside down anymore, “You two are so damn fake…”

“Oho puh-leeeease.” The hazelnut eyed girl sweetly said, wrapping the other in a big bear hug, “You loooooove us.” She teased. 

The blondie leaned on her bed-frame, hugging her knees together as she rested her chin on her knees, watching the other two bicker about absolutely nothing.

And suddenly…out of nowhere, Riley’s fond smile turned to…a small, sad one…

She didn’t know why.

She had no idea why.

But all of a sudden…she just felt…sad.

Not, like, depressed sad…

…But not subtle sad, either. 

“…I’m gonna miss this…” The taller suddenly blurted out, not really carrying if the other two heard or not…

…But, of course…they heard loud and clear…

…Crystal, even.

“…Miss what, Ri?” The smallest of the three asked casually, giving the blue eyed teen her full attention as Bree looked at her as well.

The blonde rubbed her knuckles slightly, anxiously looking away and avoiding eye contact with the other two, “Just…hanging out with you guys, I guess. Just…being here, y'know? School starts in, like, a week and I really don’t think I’m ready…”

“Don’t remind me…” The girl with glasses whined dramatically, flopping on Grace’s chest as the hazelnut eyed teen happily and gladly held her in her arms tighter, squeezing her comfortingly as she took her hood off from her head, “It’s freaking crazy…I remember us cleaning out our Middle School lockers like it was yesterday…” The green cladded girl grinned with nostalgia. 

“Pff…speaking of, you guys remember when I found a year old sandwhich in Ryan’s locker?! That shit was hilarious.” Riley said as the other two laughed. 

“That shit was disgusting. I’ve never seen something so…so…hideous…” The girl in purple pajamas fake gagged, “…Well, besides you of course.” The chocolate eyed teen said as she gestured towards the hazelnut eyed teen. 

“HEY!” Grace huffed, lightly flicking Bree’s forehead. 

The tallest of the three of them let out a short laugh…but, it lasted longer than her usual, genuine laugh…

…This one seemed…forced. 

Her laugh’s started to sound a bit choked as tears ran down her face. In alarm, both Bree and Grace went to her side’s immediately, making sure their friend was okay…

…Well, as 'okay' as a crying person could be at the moment. 

“Sorry…sorry, gosh…I’m…I-I’m b-being so stupid…” The blondie sniffled, wiping her nose and face with her sleeve. “No…you aren’t.” The girl with glasses reassured as she rubbed the other’s back, “You’re just upset…and that’s okay.”

“But…B-But I’m not upset…” 

“…You’re not?” The shortest one of them all asked carefully.

Riley sniffled once more, glaring at her knees, “I don’t…a-at least I don’t think I am. I’m just…scared, I guess.” She explained as more and more tears ran down her face like they were never-ending, “I…I liked Middle School…a lot. I met you guys a-and s-so many other p-people that changed m-my life for the b-better.” The baby blue eyed teen said softly, a wobbly smile stretching to her features. 

“I-I was able to f-find myself and know who I-I wanna be!! A-And n-not to mention I-I was even a-able to d-do d-dodgeball on Gym days! Dodgeball!” The blonde exclaimed whilst sobbing. 

Grace rested her head on Riley’s shoulder, holding her hand in her’s to stop the taller’s excessive hand rubbing, “Still saluting you for carrying our Dodgeball team...” The green loving teenager murmured.

“B-But now…it’s j-just Middle School a-all over again. A-And I-I’m gonna be the n-new k-kid…” The blue cladded kid sighed as she buried her head on her knees, “A-And I won’t have you guys…”

There was a long enough silence that lasted for a while; all that was heard was Riley’s quiet sobs (well— as quiet as one can get when crying) and Bree and Grace’s breathing patterns.

Grace crossed her arms, giggling, “Uhuh…who said that?” 

“You two are gonna be at a different school—” The blonde tried to explain but was almost immediately cut off by her other best friend, “Still doesn’t mean we won’t be there. Phones exist, Ri-Tie. We have our group-chat! We can FaceTime on the weekends and meet up during holiday breaks!” The girl in glasses happily said. 

“B-But…w-what if we don’t k-keep in t-t-touch? O-Or we g-get in a-a f-fight through text a-and we d-don’t talk to e-each other f-f-for months?!” The blue cladded teenager exclaimed in exasperation and desperation, holding her friend’s hand in her’s as she tried to calm herself down.

The brown eyed girl squeezed her friend’s hand comfortingly, her eyes softening, “…It seems like your less worried about school…and more worried about…'losing us…'”

Riley just quietly sniffled, looking away in embarrassment. 

“Ri…you aren’t going to 'lose us'. We legit aren’t going anywhere.” Grace explained thoroughly. 

“But…B-But what if y-you f-f-find someone…better?” The blue eyed girl probed. 

“…Better?” Her two friend’s questioned. 

“Like…me but…better.” The taller inquired. 

“I can’t promise that we won’t…make friends at our new school…but I can promise there will be no person at that place that can replace you. Heck, no one on this Earth can replace you even if they tried. And you wanna know why?” Grace grinned as she squished other’s hand a bit harder.

Riley smiled slightly at the action, squeezing back, “Pff…why?”

“Because you’re Riley freaking Anderson! AWOOGA!!!” The green and purple cladded girl’s both shouted, causing the other to laugh her tears away as she wiped her eyes, “G-Guys…that was so. damn. cringy. PLEASE never do that again…”

“Alas, it is what we do best.” The hazelnut eyed girl said as she dramatically lied down on the bed, “And speaking of which…I think you need some cheering up Ri-Pie…you still look down in the dumps.” And with that, Grace got up and pinned Riley’s wrists to the bed with one hand as the other wiggled teasingly.

The blondie audibly gulped, a small, nervous smile spreading to her features as she blushed slightly. 

The brunette giggled at the sight, putting her hand’s around her mouth to make her own voice seem like it was coming out of a megaphone, “Houston! Houston, we haaaaave a problem! It seems like Ri-Ri needs some tickle tickle tickles~!” 

“SHUHUT. UHUP—”

“And it seems like she’s insulting me, ladies and gentlefolks…! How unfortunate…” The girl in glasses hummed as she sat where the taller’s head was, using her arms and pinning them up so Grace could tickle her freely, “And to think we could’ve gone easy on you…”

The girl beneath squeaked loudly, hiding her face in her arms, “Guhuhuys w-wahahait! Stahop!!” 

“But we haven’t even done anything!” Grace said innocently as she dug her fingers into the blue eyed teenager’s hips, “See? Not doing anything.” 

“BAHAH— hic! NO!” The tallest one of the three squeaked, tugging on her arms but because of her purple cladded friend’s hands…she wasn’t able to go anywhere.

“BREEHEE! LEHET hic l-leHET GOhoh ahahand squeak— GRAHAHACE!! STAHAHOP!!” The blondie said as she kicked her feet wildly on the mattress, “STAHAP IT NOHOHOW!!”

The teen in purple rolled her eyes fondly, “I mean we cooooould…but you need to tell us what to stop doing.”

“YOHOU. KNOHOW!” The tallest of the three shouted. 

“Hmmmmm…do I~?” 

“Y-YEHEHES!!”

“I dunno~! I don’t think I do~!” 

“YEHES. YOU. DO!”

“I don’t, actually…” The brunette inquired, letting go of the other’s arms and digging her hands into her underarms whilst kneading her ribs. 

Talk about double kill! 

The blue iris eyed kid arched her back momentarily, hugging her middles as she belly laughed loudly, “GYAHAH— hic! NOHOH! NOT THERE! NONONOHOH— squeal! PLAHAHEASE!!” 

“You’re a huge walking tickle spot, huh, Rile?” Grace snorted as she scribbled the blonde’s sides. “SHUHUHUT YOHOHOUR MOHOUTH!!!”

“Nah…we’re good.” The two tickler’s said sassily, giggling with each other as they said the exact same thing at the exact same time. 

Great mind think alike! 

“GEHET. OFF!” Cried the blonde, happy tears springing up in her eyes, her irises shooting out of their sockets as Grace unpredictably blew a raspberry on her stomach. 

A warning would have been nice…

“NAHAHAHAH!! GRAH— hic! GRAHAHACE!?”

“Yeeeeees?” The charcoal haired teen said innocently as Bree started to tickle Riley’s neck mercilessly. 

“OKAHAHAY!! OKAHAY!” The baby blue eyed teen screamed,  “AHALRIHIHIGHT AHAHALRIHIGHT! IHI SURRENDER!!!” 

“But we didn’t even get to your favorite spoooooot~!” The black haired teenager smirked, poking the blondie’s foot. “AHAHUGH!! NOHO! I-IHI hic DOHOHON’T HAHAVE hic hic OHONE!!!”

“Oh yeah…that’s right…you have four.” The hazelnut eyed kid taunted lightly, blowing more raspberries on Riley’s stomach as she squeezed her sides. “GRAHAHACE— hic hic NOHO PLEHEHEASE—” The taller squealed, happy tears rolling down her face as the purple cladded one of the three wiggled her fingers over the blondie’s ribs and neck.

“GUHUHUYS— SQUEAK!! IHI’M GOHOHONNA DIE!!!”

“Then. perish.” Bree said simply, tickling Riley’s neck and ribs as the tallest of the group went absolutely mad with laughter. “As I said, no one can replace you, Ri…seriously…I don’t think I met anyone who’s laughed this loud…” The girl in glasses giggled. 

“Agreed…we’ll keep in touch, go to resturants and it’ll be perfectly perfect…ish. It won’t be the same like last year but we’ll just learn to adjust—“

“IHIHI GEHET IHAT!!!” Riley screamed, her cackles dying down as her best friend’s lied down next to her; Grace on her left whilst Bree was on her right. 

“Promise?” Grace asked once more.

“Prohohomise…” The blonde snorted, wiping her eyes as she playfully glared at her best friends, “Don’t think for a second you guys are off the hook…sleep with one eye open…”

“Will do.” Bree yawned, stretching as she quietly went to sleep, Grace soon following as her eyes closed and drifted to slumber.

Riley smiled fondly at her friend’s…

…Her best friends…

Riley might not go to the same school as them anymore…but that didn’t matter.

The distance that was going to be between her and them would be…strong.

But their love and appreciation for one another was stronger…

And no damn distance would change that…

Hey, there! How are you?

I was hoping I could request a Moondrop x reader x Sundrop short fic?

A fic about a costume competition on the main stage of the Pizzaplex with all of the animatronics and then separately a staff costume competition.

Reader would be the daycare attendant and come in either first or second place for the competition.

After the competition, reader goes back to the daycare for a Halloween-themed sleepover! With Halloween movies and themed snacks and stuff! I think it’d be cute ☺️💕

Hi! I've been good, thank you! Finally getting the spooky halloween fics rolling

..........

"So you're a STAFF Security Bot? The makeup looks great on you!"

"Really? Thanks. I guess it'd be dumb to ask who you are, huh?" Vanessa looked at your costume up and down with a raised eyebrow. "You look like you're gonna work for the damn travelling circus."

"Well...that's kinda the point." With a smile, you smoothed out the wrinkles in your striped pants, ensuring that your ruffled two-toned collar was neat. The bells on your wrists jingled noisily, but you quickly silenced them.

"Now I don't feel so embarrassed.." The blonde mumbled to herself, her gaze going back to you. "Don't you think you kinda...overdid this? I mean none of us are getting a bonus for putting more effort into our costumes-"

"There's no such thing as "overdoing" Halloween, Ness." You huffed. "I don't care about any bonuses or prizes. We're here to bring some holiday spirit to the Pizzaplex! I think it's good that the manager asked us to participate. They know how to have fun unlike the last one."

"...jeez, you're sounding more like Sun everyday." That was her only remark before she went back to staring at her phone, clearly wanting to get this over with.

Meanwhile, you were bouncing on your heels, being next in-line to show off your costume to the eager audience waiting outside.

For the first time ever, the Mega Pizzaplex finally scraped together the perfect Halloween event to really kick off the season: a costume competition!

It took place on the main stage in the atrium, which was decorated from floor to ceiling. A small fortune was spent on getting holograms to feature the Glamrocks in spooky costumes, but the employees were the main stars of the show.

Since you and the others knew about this months in advance, you had plenty of time to work on your outfit and makeup. You truly wanted to knock this out of the park by dressing up as your all-time favorite character:

The Daycare Attendant!

At first you had a difficult time deciding which one would be your muse. You'd hate to disappoint either of them, so you ended up designing something that contained aspects of both animatronics!

It took a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and glitter glue..but you finally finished it and now you were here, ready to show it off to the world!

There was an entirely separate competition for the animatronics themselves, who just finished an hour ago. They just brainstormed ideas and their handlers got to work creating their costumes.

The rules were all the same, nevertheless, and the winners were determined by whoever was cheered for the most.

Freddy, who was dressed up as Frankenstein's Monster, ended up winning first place (which you saw coming from a mile away)....while poor Roxy, who actually dressed up as Freddy, got second place. She was a sore loser about it and complained that the entire contest was "rigged".

Despite that, all of the animatronics seemed to have lots of fun.

Now it was the humans' turn to shine. You were 100% ready to give it your all, glad to see your coworkers were getting into the Halloween spirit, too....although Vanessa was less-than-thrilled to learn that participation was mandatory.

Regardless, you were happy with the way your costume turned out.

After telling the announcer your name and character, you waited for your queue to run on stage.

The anticipation was killing you!

"And up next we have [y/n], one of our longtime staff members, decked out as our one and only Daycare Attendant!"

With a big smile spreading from ear-to-ear, you headed out and were met with cheering kids and impressed parents. You did a little twirl so they could see all the parts of your costume, making sure the bells jingled loud enough for them to hear.

Among the crowd, you could see the animatronics hanging in the back, being allowed to spectate this contest. Sun himself was there, dressed up as a knight in shiny armor. But he was ecstatic upon seeing that you dressed like him and Moon.

"[Y/N]!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING STARSHINE!!!" He shouted, jumping up and down as he cheered the loudest.

You spotted him and waved back, your smile growing even more when you realized he loved it (even though he could only admire the details from afar for now).

It did take Freddy's and Chica's hands combined to ensure he didn't try to hop the fence and run over to you.

After your mini-performance was done, you headed off the stage before turning to observe Vanessa, who acted like a stiff and bored Security STAFF bot. She just muttered some of their preprogrammed lines before making a swift exit.

The applause for her was..lackluster, but she seemed relieved to finally be done with it.

You, on the other hand, were still relishing in all the attention.

Soon you'll get to see who won! You weren't counting on yourself winning the grand prize since your other coworkers put a good deal of effort into their costumes, too.

But in the end, getting first or second place wasn't your biggest concern.

Having fun is what mattered most.

............

"You're awful smug about that trophy. Didn't know you were the competitive type, officer."

"Well..I think for tonight, I can afford to be a little proud of myself." You smirked knowingly at Moon, holding up the golden trophy in your hands.

It wasn't made from real gold, of course. It's all just cheap useless plastic that was painted gold.

But you did, however, adore its design very much: Freddy's head shaped like a pumpkin with a #1 beside it, and your name written on the plaque just below it.

This wasn't any bonus check, gift card, or coupon...but it absolutely made you feel good about winning first place in the costume competition.

You made sure to thank Sun for his help before Moon took over the daycare's night cycle--aka his half of the "Halloween Sleepover", another smaller event the Pizzaplex allowed to keep the little ones occupied.

Fortunately, you got to supervise it to ensure everything ran smoothly. You were even allowed to stay in costume, and that got kids complimenting you left and right (albeit some of the tots mistook you for the Attendant himself, but you didn't mind it).

Of course, nobody was prouder than both Sun and Moon.

"I appreciate you considering me in this design. Very well done, indeed." The lunar animatronic flicked the bell at the end of your blue jester hat, grinning as it jingled. "You have quite the talent...unlike Officer Vanessa."

"I'd go easy on her, Moon. She's just not a big Halloween fan." You chuckled, putting the trophy on the security desk, before you leaned back in the chair and looked over the clipboard. "Anyways, we have just a few more activities scheduled...including one more Halloween movie. Then you'll be giving the kids lessons on how to trick-or-treat safely, and-"

"That's what I need help with!" Moon suddenly jumped onto the desk, perching there as he stared down at you. "I can't keep showing them SpongeBob forever."

"..what's wrong with SpongeBob?" Blinking, your gaze went to the small group of children, who were all in their own costumes, watching the "Scaredy Pants" episode through a projection on the wall.

They were all tucked into sleeping bags, candy wrappers scattered in their laps, and unfinished art crafts on the tables behind them. Moon was a tad bit fidgety over the messes they left, but you kept reassuring him everything will be cleaned up soon.

"Nothing, but...grr...listen." He grumbled, growing annoyed. "I know there's two movies in the drawer to your right, and we only have time for one. Look at them and pick for me."

Nodding, you opened the drawer and found the DVDs he was talking about.

But you were quite surprised.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas and..Corpse Bride?" You stared at the covers, before looking up at Moon. "Management...actually approved these?"

"It would seem so, if they're here."

"...I don't know. The kids might be a bit too young for either of these movies, Moon." You frowned a little. "They might give them nightmares-"

"If they can handle seeing SpongeBob's exposed brain, the creatures of Rock Bottom, and the Hash Slinging Slasher...then surely they can handle seeing Jack Skellington or Emily."

"But the animation is totally different and---" You began protesting, although you stopped as you saw how Moon was just...staring at you blankly. He was practically begging you to make a decision lest he strangled you.

"..I'll take care of the movie and let the kids decide which one they wanna watch. You can go clean the tables and work on your safety lesson plan. Okay?"

His grin returned immediately.

"Wise choice, "Daycare Attendant"." He snickered, flicking the bell on your hat once more before he slinked away to cleanup duty.

Sighing, you got up and stretched, before heading over to the children so they could cast their votes on which movie they wanted to see.

After they made their choice, you went back to helping Moon, although at some point you two ended up watching the movie as well.

The night was still young, but so far it's been fantastic and full of Halloween fun!

What better way to spend it than with your favorite animatronics and dressing up as them?

CINEMAGOOEY

I had a happy childhood - a middle-class upbringing, the ranch house in the 'burbs on a quiet street, bestie sleepovers complete with canopy beds and giddy secrets. My younger years weren't perfect -no one gets a pass from childhood traumas and tragedies. But overall it was an uncomplicated and sweet time in the 70's.

But as great as it was, I still needed escape. So I ran away from reality as often as possible in those early years, fleeing to the movies, my drug of choice.

A Saturday movie excursion was a life or death necessity for me. I would beg, cajole and bargain with my parents for ticket money and a ride to the theater. There in the solitude of a dark theater, the projector would roll and magic would unfurl like a shimmering kaleidoscope. I became lost in a land of imagination and wonder, mesmerized in a celluloid world of make-believe.

I never outgrew my love of cinema; it expanded exponentially. There's something about immersing oneself in a good story in the sanctity of of your own home or in a popcorn scented theatre that speaks to me and whisks me to my happy place. Something magic happens when we engage with cinema. The good ones either lift us up and sing to us, or wound our hearts in a sweet, interminable way. The bad ones have us shaking our heads at the fact that we'll never get the time back. Either way, movies grab us, whirl us around in a dizzying dance and then push us out in the sunlight, dazed at the experience.

Let's get into the good ones. Let's dig into some old fashioned hoopla about really great cinema.

I'll begin with one of my favorites genres:

FOREIGN FILM

J'adore foreign film. I'm never put off by subtitles and find these movies to be some of the richest, most sumptuous of all cinema. Foreign film connects us to the world. It gifts the viewer with an intimate window through which we peek into other cultures, other lands and native stories. We climb into the vivid imaginings of filmmakers, whose minds were cultivated and nurtured in exotic locales. It's a form of travel without costly airfare and jet lag, with the bonus of a good story.

Here are my top three recommended foreign films that I've viewed of late:

CLARA SOLA

A stunner of a movie resplendent with gorgeous cinematography, this 2021 film written and directed by Nathalie Álvarez Mesén unfolds in a tiny village in Costa Rica. Clara, a 40 year old with mental and physical disabilities, lives with her fanatically religious mother and niece Maria, a fifteen year old who gleefully prepares for her Quinceanera. Middle-aged, curious and child-like, Clara's life is spent communicating with the family's white horse, being a pawn to her mother's money-making schemes and watching Maria's life bloom as she stands on the sensual precipice of adulthood. When handsome Santiago arrives on the scene, wooing Maria in a forbidden way, something awakens in Clara and she decides that she wants what Maria has. With bold stubbornness and using mystical powers that lend an supernatural aura to the story, Clara sets out to claim it all in her own awkward, humorous way - with devastating results. Fantastical, shimmering scenes set against a backdrop of naked poverty make this movie sing in a way that made my soul ache, and the brilliant screenplay had me laughing out loud and alternately tearing up.

Amazing performances by Wendy Chinchilla Araya as Clara and Daniel Casteñeda Ricón as Santiago, Maria's boyfriend and Clara's secret crush. This should have been a Best Foreign Film nominee (if not winner) at the 94th Academy Awards. It's not easy to find Clara Sola; I had to stream it with a Criterion Collection subscription, but it's worth digging around to unearth this hidden gem.

THE ZONE OF INTEREST

Buckle up. Watching this movie is like taking a joy ride with your scary older cousin behind the wheel; you want to enjoy it, but instead you feel terrified and little like throwing up. That's the point of Jonathan Glazer's chilling masterpiece The Zone of Interest.

Rudolph is a rising star in the military. His wife Hedwig cultivates a home for their children on a quaint country estate. But this is no Leave It To Beaver redux. Rudolph is a commandant in Hitler's Nazi party and Hedwig's carefully built utopia lies just over the wall from Auschwitz, which Rudolph manages. So close is their little manse to the concentration camp that the family can hear the daily horrors of screams and gunshots, and the fiery glow of the gas chambers illuminates the evening sky. To these recurring abominations, the family turns a deaf ear and a blind eye as they go about their idyllic life.

This cruel indifference is what makes The Zone of Interest so harrowing to watch.

Rudolph prizes his lilac bushes more than the innocent lives he slaughters, and Hedwig engages in chilling acts of depraved apathy: haughtily accepting a fur coat that Rudolph gifts her (booty from a Holocaust victim), and hosting her mother in the garden as a prisoner can be heard pleading for his life from the other side of the wall.

Part of this movie's power lies in the fact that the viewer never sees the acts taking place inside the concentration camp - the brutal sounds of savagery overlaying a lush, bucolic setting is enough to horrify us.

The Zone of Interest won both Best International Film and Best Sound at the 2023 Academy Awards. Sandra Hüller's performance as wife Hedwig garnered her a much-deserved Best Supporting Actor (female role) nomination.

This movie is an awful reminder of mankind's grotesque ability to normalize evil with unflinching apathy - especially in the face of cultural pressure or political brainwashing. It made me squirm as I pondered the nature of humanity. I've heard it said on several platforms that this movie is not for entertainment value; I agree. Instead, it's is an opportunity to turn inward and ask ourselves: could these types of horrors happen again? And if so, what would you do?

CINEMA PARADISO

Some have described Giuseppe Turnatore's 1988 Cinema Paradiso as a love letter to the early age of film. I would call it a slow, seductive kiss, beguiling us to remember the days when going to the cinema was an event.

Everything about this film is perfect - the heart-rending story centered around a small town movie theater, the lush cinematography capturing life in a dusty, Italian village and the trembling soundtrack that tugs at something soulful and primal. All this against the backdrop of cinema classics. It's a wistful salute to the Golden Age of Hollywood and a tender coming of age story in 1940's Italy.

In 1988 Rome, Salvatore Di Vita, a famous film director, learns his old friend Alfredo has died. He immediately flashes back to his childhood as an eight year old in the Sicilian village of Giancarlo, just after WWII. Salvatore's nostalgic flashback encompasses most of this sublime film.

Salvatore (Toto to the villagers), is a precocious child. His father dead, his mother overwhelmed with the everyday indignities of single motherhood, Toto finds escape at the Cinema Paradiso, sneaking in when the town priest sits alone in the empty galley censoring movies. Alfredo, the tired, middle-aged projectionist, is tasked with splicing out the offending bits before the villagers see it.

Toto is mesmerized by it all and is madly curious to see how the magic happens in the projection booth. Through pluck and luck, Toto connives Alfredo into giving him a job in as his assistant and the two form a tight, familial bond that is the heart and soul of this film.

Toto is still manning the booth at 16 when he falls hopelessly in love and is called to military duty. Returning home a year later, Alfredo does something surprising and insidious that alters Toto's life forever.

In modern day 1988, Salvatore returns to Giancarlo to attend Alfredo's funeral, and is bequeathed a package that sets up the last, flawless scene in this exquisite film.

Cinema Paradiso is a beautiful reminder of days gone by and things of old that once held meaning and sway over our lives. Before television, computers, the internet and iphones, there was a place where people gathered to be swept up, escape the banality of life and become immersed, briefly, in a world larger than their own.

And isn't that what cinema is all about?

October 28, 2016:

Tommy (dressed as "Prankenstein"): Y'know, why does Prankenstein always have to be the one getting pranked, instead of being the one doing the pranking? Has he ever pulled a prank of his own?

Tara (dressed as the "Bride of Prankenstein"): Why are you asking me?

Tommy: Well, everyone else is busy with the trick-or-treating contest, so we're the only ones here.

Tara: Alright, fine. But still, I didn't write or direct that movie, so I wouldn't know.

Tommy: I mean, I'm sure he has pulled a few of his own, right? He's gotta have done so at some point. Maybe if I ever come across him...

Tara: Come across him? You mean you wanna meet Prankenstein himself?

Tommy: Yeah, I wonder what he would say to me...

Tara: He'd probably tell you that you're wearing the wrong outfit.

Tommy: Wait, what?

Tara: He wore a blazer, Tommy, not just an ordinary black jacket.

Tommy: Oh yeah, I couldn't find one in my dressing room. I thought it was pretty strange, I could've sworn that I had one, but I...

(he continues to talk, but Tara just stops listening)

Tara: Alright, let's get back to tonight's new "PBS Kids GO!" Halloween special...

================================================

You probably have 2 questions, so let's answer them...

Who is "Prankenstein"?

That's the name of a prankster version of Frankenstein's monster. The character was created for a Fridays skit that aired on October 27, 2006.

10 years later, the hosts decided to dress up as Prankenstein (Tommy) and his bride (Tara), as they also played the characters in the original skit.

2. What is this "trick-or-treating contest" that Tommy is talking about?

For that show, a contest was held that every member of the audience participated in. Several rounds were held in a virtual neighborhood throughout the night to see who could collect the most candy. The winner would receive a golden jack-o'-lantern. One that would never go bad, and could be continuously used every Halloween.

I don't remember who won, but I'm sure they still have their prize.

11/2 Update: Almost forgot to discuss why I was absent this week.

Anyway, like I said in my post of October 21st, the reason for my absence on October 28, 2016 was... a lot.

Or at least what happened that weekend was enough to wear me out.

First, I intended to be part of the 10/28/2016 show, and was even going to partake in the trick-or-treating contest that week. However, I was forced by my Elementary School to hold a "Halloween Sleepover" that Friday night, so I missed the entire show.

My backup plan was to personally sit down and watch the stream on Saturday night at 7pm (the same time the show started). But then, I was forced by my parents to watch "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in the living room, since we didn't get a chance to watch a movie on Friday (due to the sleepover).

By Sunday, I had just lost interest in trying to watch the event at all, after everything that kept messing me up. Plus, I had school the next day, and it's not like I'd be allowed to stay up late for my whole "simultaneous time slot watching" thing on a Sunday night.

[mirobami]

What about a headcanon with everyone in Hyakkaou Private Academy having a sleepover at their friend’s house for the weekend? In which they have pillow fights, playing truth or dare, eating s'mores, of course includes watching a scary movie.

↳ sleepover

♥ GENRE: fluff.

♥ CHARACTER(S): everyone.

♥ SYNOPSIS: in request!

♥ NOTE: Oh this one is a lot, I'm gonna include everyone in this but it's everyone together at a sleepover

Are you the MC of an otome game? Because that's what everyone's thinking when they see the most powerful people following you around as if you were royalty and they were your knights

The day you even remotely hint at a sleepover, all of them are fighting to ensure that they get an invitation, only to realize that they would actually have to get along with their enemies

The sleepover happens on a Friday and the first ones to arrive (30 minutes early) are Yumeko, dragging Mary along happily; right on time are Kirari and Sayaka, mainly because Sayaka had to tell Kirari that they had to be there on time and the rest come at scattered times, the last person to arrive being Midari and Yuriko has to apologize to you, saying that she tried to take her earlier

Everyone’s in their pajamas and they’re super weary around each other, but they immediately smile at the sight of you

The first thing that everyone decides on is a Mario Kart tournament, Ibara has brought the Wii U and everyone’s taking their own controllers while most of them stand aside, placing bets as to who is going to win

It doesn’t matter who you main, if you steal Rosalina from Runa, she’s going to lose it

Midari is fighting with Rin over the control and his seat next to you, she wants to sit next to you because you’re sitting next to Yumeko (and because you’re there too)

The winner of the tournament, to everyone’s surprise, was Terano; she didn’t even want to play until Yumi shoved the control into her hand

That’s when the snacks started to be passed around as everyone started deciding on a game to play, first it started with Never Have I Ever, but it quickly went downhill

“Never Have I Ever...tried to backflip my way into a pool because my crush was watching.” 

Nobody’s hand was raised and that’s when Kirari pointed at Yumemi, “We all know you’re lying. Raise your hand, Yumemi.”

“Kirari, that was one time when I was little!”

But soon it started to become worse, with fights breaking out over what someone did and didn’t do, it’s up to you to suggest Truth or Dare, in which everyone happily agrees

You go first, setting down a bottle that will point at someone and as you spin it, everyone is watching expectantly until it lands on Manyuda: “Truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Is it true that you let Itsuki paint all of your nails in neon colors due to the loss of a bet?”

Manyuda’s jaw dropped as he glared at Itsuki, “I swore you to secrecy!”

The rest were letting out roars of laughter, not believing that the most serious member of the party would even remotely lose and certainly not be entitled to a consequence such as that

The bottle keeps going around, the dares getting more dramatic and the truths becoming worse: “I dare you to run down the street in tap shoes while singing an explicit song at the top of your lungs.” “Have you ever thought about dating a milf?” “You have five minutes to write a country song and perform it.” “What is the weirdest status you’ve had on social media?”

It wasn’t until someone got dared to kiss you that everyone froze before there was another uproar, ensuing an incredibly aggressive pillow fight where anyone could’ve had their head chopped off by the deadly speed of a pillow that could’ve felt like rocks

Rolling your eyes, you brought out the s’more kit that you bought for this occasion, yelling, “If all of you don’t calm down, all of these s’mores will now become mine!”

The sheer silence could’ve made you cackle if it wasn’t for them glaring at each other in a lethal manner

You decide to put on a horror movie, knowing that it would at least calm some of them down--until they got terrified

It was a mix up between Midsommar, Hereditary, and some other movie that Miyo suggested (everyone instantly shot down Miyo’s idea because they did not trust her and were positive she would traumatize them)

They were the ones that chose those three, so the popular vote got to pick the movie

Not even halfway through the movie, they were all either cowering behind someone else, putting on a brave face, jaw dropped, or they were munching on their s’mores

The ones who openly screamed at some point were Mary and Sayaka, this movie was horrifying, how could anyone watch it?

Sumika, as an actress, watched the movie and hummed in appreciation for the special effects and everything else; she studied films a lot and she would be damned if she didn’t study this one

Once the movie was over, you toppled something over and literally everyone became a choir of shrieking, terrified individuals; you’re pretty sure they’re all traumatized

Miroslava suggests a Disney movie next and you make her choose because everyone else seemed too frozen to even speak; she chose Wall-E

The movie seemed to calm them down, even getting to the point where they were sleepy

Rei wanted to help you out with cleaning up, so she did as the movie was watching but you insisted in her sitting down and watching the movie

Once it was over, someone shouted, “Another!”

Cue the Disney princess movie marathon as well as the karaoke of songs that came from them

At around 4 am, they were all sleeping as a movie played in the background; they were a lot more peaceful, especially since they were in your presence

Your presence calmed them immensely and they couldn’t be happier about being at a sleepover with you, even if it meant getting along with people they didn’t like

For my friend @natalie-the-writer who needs an incentive sometimes to do her work XD

<><><><><><>

A movie had finally been decided on between Ox and Moxy. Between Finding Nemo and Tangled, they had finally decided to just watch both.

They were barely through the first movie when Lou's eyelids grew heavy. He curled his legs close to his chest on the sofa, head lolling to the side every now and then. The only reason he was still fighting sleep was that UglyDog made a bet as to who would stay up longer. The winner would get to pick the movies for the next month. The first person to fall asleep would have to carry around the winner everywhere for a week.

A hand started rubbing Lou's back, and he weakly pushed it away. "That's cheating," he mumbled.

"There weren't any rules, so...," Babo let his sentence hang and continued. Slowly but surely, blue eyes fell shut, and the doll swayed a little too far to the right.

Lou was pulled into Babo's side without any complaint from the doll. Yeah, he was out. Moxy even shuffled over to see. She poked Lou's nose lightly, "Psst! You asleep already?" The only response was a scrunched nose before Lou buried his face into Babo's side to avoid any more assaults. "Welp, guess Lou's out first."

"Ugh, good," Nolan climbed up onto the sofa beside Lou, "now I can fall asleep with no consequences."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Hush!" Babo put a finger to his mouth. "You'll wake him up."

"It's a sleepover!" Moxy kept her voice low. She gestured avidly to the sleeping beauty, "You don't actually sleep at a sleepover!"

Babo waved her off and pulled the doll into his lap carefully. "He can sleep if he wants to. It's been a long day." And it had been. Bless his heart, Lou had been working nonstop around the town since dawn to prepare for the factory reevaluation coming up. To prove his point, Lou curled more up against him once settled and let out a barely audible sigh of contentment. "Look at him. He's tired."

Moxy groaned, looking up to the ceiling before hopping up onto the couch as well. She settled on Babo's other side, gingerly toying with the bangs falling in Lou's face. "I guess he can sleep for a little bit. Only cause he looks adorable."

"He'll sleep as long as he wants to." They continued watching the movie. One by one, they started dropping like flies. Nolan wasn't too far behind Lou, also curled up against Babo. The doll was like a stuffed blanket. By around five in the morning, Moxy had been declared the winner as Wage just couldn't hold her eyes open any longer.

"Yay!" She pumped a weak fist into the air before collapsing to the floor.

Lou woke up wonderfully but wasn't too pleased to carry the pink doll around on his back for a week.

[ojirominaj]

—SLEEPOVERS WITH HAIKYUU CHARACTERS

featuring: ushijima wakatoshi, tendou satori, yachi hitoka, suna rintarou, & aran ojiro.

content warnings: just fluff. not proofread but that’s not surprising

USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI

-sleepovers with him are real practical lol. of course he’ll make it a good time since you’re there though!

-he’ll probably order pizza and have a couple of your favourites + his favourites and a couple of movies.

-he’ll completely get off of his phone (not that he’s really on it anyways) to give you his undivided attention once he gets there!

-happens every other month at his house, you two made it a thing whenever your schedules weren’t so hectic.

“thanks for inviting me over here, ushi. your place is extra,” you took a look around his apartment, it was very clean and smelled of the eucalyptus candle he had bought prior to you coming. “comfy.” you sent a genuine smile his way while walking past him to sit your stuff down.

“thank you y/n. i made sure to get extra of your favorite topping on the pizza this time. i know how much you like it.” he had sat on the couch waiting for you to join him. “mm thanks toshi you’re the best.” you took your seat next him, snuggling yourself into his chest and the warm blanket that he had probably just pulled out of the dryer. spending times with him no matter what you were doing was always the highlight of your day.

TENDOU SATORI

-honestly one of the best haikyuu characters to have a sleepover with tbh.

-there is never a dull moment when you’re over his house...unless you’d want it to be of course!

-he has soooo many snacks..blankets..everything you could ask for he already has it waiting for you.

-you two will stay up into the wee hours of the night either talking/watching the movies or literally doing anything under the sun lol.

only god knows how many movies and junk food you and tendou have consumed within the last few hours. “tori... ‘m so full why’d you let me all of that stuff.”

“you’re the one that challenged me to an eating contest! i couldn’t go out sad like that.” he rubbed at his bloating stomach while resting his head onto your shoulder. the rolling credits of the movie you two had finished began rolling in the middle of you two playing some board games. “loser has to do what the winner says. deal?” you smirked while moving your game piece up two.

“oh you are so on.”

YACHI HITOKA

-omg the sweetest girl ever!! she’ll have a self care type sleepover set up for you two.

-if you’re into getting your nails painted and stuff she’ll totally do that for you! do it for her as well and she will get all flustered.

-doesn’t really have actual food but definitely has snacks! i think she also has a thing for good movies so you two will watch those while she pampers you.

“stay still, y/n.” she lightly chuckled while placing the last bit of the face mask onto your face. “i’m trying i swear. it’s just that it tickles.” you couldn’t stop giggling because her hands are so delicate and they felt so good on your skin.

“okay i’m done! can you paint my nails now?” she smiled at you and you couldn’t help but smile back. “of course i can. what colour do you want?” you had picked up the assortment of nail polishes she had set out and she decided on a baby pink. once you had finished she had asked if you could feed her fruit she had so she didn’t mess up her freshly painted nails.

“catch!” you surprised her and her eyes widened as she tried to catch it in her mouth. you toppled over in laughter and she followed soon after.

SUNA RINTAROU

-another one that has a large assortment of snacks and blankets.

-but it’s only because you two do these so frequently at his and yours house. he has a drawer at your house full of what he needs while he’s there and vice versa.

-you two will most likely fall asleep in the middle of watching a movie or something, he’s just so comfy and his bed is even comfier.

-a kind of shitty host though lol. you might have to let yourself in because he’ll probably be sleep & forgot he invited you to come over.

“suna can you pass me the chips please?” you had lifted up from your original spot on his bed to turn over and look at him.

“no get it yourself.” he didn’t miss a beat and all you could do was scoff while getting up to get the chips yourself. not even 5 minutes later, suna tapped you on the shoulder. “can you pass me the chuupets, y/n?”

“no get it yourself.” you mocked him and you didn’t miss how he rolled his eyes with a chuckle. “haha very funny. can we cuddle?” you nodded before scooting over into his chest.

between your full stomach and his warm body heat, you fell asleep in no time. “y/n look up or you’re gonna miss the best par-” he stopped himself once he heard your soft snores. he placed a chaste kiss onto your temple before joining you in sleep.

ARAN OJIRO (bestie 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨)

-i think he’s the best person to have a sleepover with no shade.

-he’s up to do whatever as well! wanna gossip while baking cookies? okay. wanna go for a drive at 3am to mcdonald’s before you prank call some of you twos closest friends? he’s down.

-always asks if you’re having a good time too. doesn’t want you to be bored and you’re the guest lol.

“so then he was like ‘i don’t give a rats ass samu, eating my leftovers last night was too far!’ and then they started fighting. you already know suna recorded it all.” he was ranting to you about what had happened at practice earlier that week between the twins and you two shared a loud laugh.

you two were currently in the kitchen having a baking contest to see who could make the best cake. he slyly peeked over at yours trying to look and see what ingredients you were adding. “aht no peeking aran! i know you’re preparing for your loss and all but geez.” you poked fun at him and he just smiled before rolling his eyes.

“oh please y/n. i know this one special technique that’s gonna make my cake ten times better as yours. we’ll see who has the last laugh.”

author’s note: trying a new format of writing my hcs lol. um other than that enjoy reading besties <3.

sleepover. i am hiding a pillow behind my back, will definitely not attack after you answer these very important questions no sir 😤 top 5 ashton pictures, favorite fic wip you have in your folders, and would you rather go to the movies with ash but the movie ends up being uncomfortably bad, or go to the arcade with mike but all the games are janky and / or out of order and he gets obsessed with the claw machine 🤔

i feel only slightly threatened by that pillow you're badly hiding but i won't say no to a pillow fight, it's ON and i see you decided to start with a real punch in the throat huh this was impossible and also torture because i had to look through my ashton pics 17 injured 28 dead

here are the winners but ask me tomorrow and they'll probably change (also i don't think you thought this through teresa because now you have to look at them and suffer with me)

my favorite wip is probably my biker ash au where big badass biker ash rescues a kitten and brings it to the animal clinic where vet tech calum works and then keeps showing up and maybe offers to take calum for a ride on his bike idk i haven't gotten that far lmao but i love it i love the idea of ash with a tiny kitten tucked in his jacket and calum positively swooning

now i had to think this one a lot because honestly i would love to do both svdjshdj like even if a movie is uncomfortably bad i feel like ashton would make it funny and entertaining you know?? but also watching michael get more and more frustrated while playing with the claw machine would be SO funny and who knows he might even win me a toy so mmm i guess I'd go with michael to the arcade. he can bring ashton if he wants too :)

sleepover time!

[a-chlolix-blog]

Scarabée and Kitty Claws AU

Akumas in Season 2 that I've decided to keep the same, but with different reasons for being akumatized.

Despair Bear

- Bulter Jean gets akumatized again, but the situation and event are different.

- Chloé's having another sleepover with Sabrina, Rose, Juleka, and Alix & Juleka.

- Alix decides to bring a horror movie for them to watch.

- What they didn't know was that André found out these sleepovers & has Bulter Jean watch them.

- Of course Chloé (along with Sabrina) gets quite scared of the movie and screams.

- Bulter Jean comes rushing in with chocolates and Mr. Cuddly. Chloé's quick to push him out before they saw Mr. Cuddly.

- She then tells him if he came in with the bear, she'd have him fired (which was a bluff, but he believed it).

- This upsets him so much, he's akumatized into Despair Bear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prime Queen

- Nadja is still akumatized into Prime Queen, but the situation's different.

- The interview on her new show still happens, but she's trying make Scarabée and Kitty Claws reveal that they're both in love with Stallion Star (who is quite uncomfortable) at first...

- Then when Stallion Star reveals the fact Kitty Claws is a Lesbian and she focuses on her much to the heroine's dismay.

- Scarabée notices that both these heroes are uncomfortable and takes them to leave the show early to get ice cream.

- Nadja's new show then gets canned and she's akumatized into Prime Queen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riposte

- Kagami still becomes Riposte, but instead of Marinette, someone else declared Adrien the winner. Someone quite biased.

- Brigiette Alarie (OC of mine) is the one who follows Adrien and Kagami & watches them fence.

- Because she's a major fan of Adrien and wants him to fall for her, she declares that Adrien got the point & goes on and on about how great he is compared to any other Fencer.

- Kagami's then akumatized into Riposte and wants that rematch with Adrien.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reverser (It happens alot sooner)

- Since Marc has been around since Season 1 in this AU, him being akumatized into Reverser is quite different.

- The three bullies that picked on Nathaniel and gets him akumatized into Evillustrator, decides to pull a prank on him involving his secret book.

- This prank obviously gets Marc akumatized into Reverser with the goal of making those bullies become as weak and scared as they made him feel.

- As much as the heroes wanna see those three get punished, they just gotta save'em.

- Nathaniel becomes "Arman Renard" in this episode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glaciator

- André the Ice Cream Vendor is still akumatized again. Though the change as to way is different.

- Adrien actually meets up with Marinette, Nino, Alya, Ivan, Mylène, Juleka, Rose, Nathaniel and Marc.

- When he reveals to have brought Chloé (they would've brought Sabrina too but Roger said no), Marinette Alya Nino Mylène and Ivan are on edge, but Juleka Rose Nathaniel and Marc are quite happy to see her.

- Chloé asks where Alix is and Rose responds with "She said she couldn't make it because she's studying". André notices Chloé's sudden mode change and gives her an ice cream.

- He says to her "It's clear that your thoughts are on more than one. Not being able to decide isn't fun..." this has Chloé blushing hard, but when he says "You even want them to be one in the same, but for one of them... you don't even have an actual name.", that had her blushing even harder.

- Not wanting to hear to the others mumble about her "mystery crushes", Chloé drops the ice cream and runs off.

- This is what gets André the Ice Cream Vendor akumatized into Glaciator.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zombizou

- Caline Bustier's still akumatized into Zombizou on her birthday, but because of someone else.

- It actually happens after school this time and Caline's driving herself and Aurélien home with a bunch of gifts in the trunk.

- Aurélien's quite jealous and upset that her students were able to give her better presents than he didn't & before they go in their home, Caline takes to her son about. Before noticing an akuma is heading straight towards them.

- It goes from targeting Aurélien, to targeting Caline. She shouts at her son to run and call for help and he does just that.

- Caline's still akumatized into Zombizou, But main target is her son instead of Chloé.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syren

- This akuma's quite different as it has nothing to do with Kim, and Ondine's not the one who gets akumatized.

- It's tryouts for the swim team at Kagami and Ondine's school. Ondine and many a few others make it on to the team, but one certain girl's quite bitter that she isn't.

- Blaming Ondine for "taking her spot", this girl's akumatized into Syren and Ondine's her target.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anansi

- Nora still becomes Anansi, but for a completely different reason.

- Nora invites her family as well as Nino, Alix, and Jalil to one of her Kickboxing Matches.

- The woman that Anansi's fighting against decides to cheat & wins the match, much to Anansi's and her many guests' dismay.

- Anansi of course demands a rematch, but this woman accused her of being a sore loser in front of many cameras.

- Nora's trying to tell everyone she cheated, but no one listened to her but her family and friends.

- This is now Nora gets akumatized into Anansi.

- Kitty Claws unifies Plagg and Wayzz & becomes "Selina Snapper" in this episode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rogercop (it's a Season 2 akuma now)

- This season one akuma has been movie to season two & given a new reason for being akumatized.

- Roger hears from his fellow officers and the public that the heroes are doing a better job protecting Paris than they are.

- His angry and jealousy gets him akumatized into Rogercop.

- He has his normal powers from canon, but with the added ability of transforming other officerss into Akuma-Cops.

- His goal is to hunt down the Miraculous Heroes, take their Miraculous away, and arrest them all.

- Sabrina becomes "Busy Bee" in this episode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Style Queen (1 & 2)

(Link to Episode Post here)

- Audrey not only gets akumatized into Style Queen once, but twice! And here's way.

- Audrey shows up for Fashion week, alongside two of her models (Zoé and Mitchell) who were going to model alongside Adrien.

- At this point Chloé doesn't wanna impress her mother (Audrey secretly shocked by this) and André's the one who tries to give Audrey the present while they're talking to Nadja Chamack.

- The first time she becomes Style Queen is similar to canon, but Chloé pushes Adrien out the way and gets turnt to glitter instead & Busy Bee's actually there to use Vemon on her.... But the plan doesn't go that way.

- Because Adrien's not hit by Style Queen, Gabriel doesn't give up on being Hawkmoth and decides to use the Style Queen akuma again when Marinette rejects Audrey's offer to come to New York her.

- Marinette had heard about how badly Audrey treated Chloé and decided she wasn't gonna work alongside with this woman.

- Then Audrey's akumatized into Style Queen 2.0. This akuma has the added ability of mind controlling her targets by shooting glitterly outfits onto them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malediktator

- Of course, André still gets akumatized into Malediktator. But for quite the different reason.

- André tries to get Audrey Chloé and Zoé to sit down and have a family dinner with them all.

- Of course Chloé's not having ANY of this as she trying to go to Alix's house for the slumber party they're having with most of the other girls from their class along with Kagami and Ondine.

- André not liking this "New Chloé" along with Audrey talking down to him, his akumatized into Malediktator with the goal of making Chloé his precious little girl again & Audrey a nicer and supportive wife.

- Those who try to get in his way would have to be commanded too. That goes for the heroes as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frightingale

- Clara does in fact become Frightingale, but for quite the different reasons.

- Every in Chloé and Alix's class shows up so they could all dance in Clara's music video.

- But then XY (who has this annoying crush on Clara) comes in with Bob Roth, ready to change everything about the Video.

- Bob Roth even shows her papers from the Mayor (which he tricked him into signing) that basically tells her if they don't do the video XY's way, then the whole thing's cancelled.

- Of course this upsets Clara very much. As she runs into her trailer crying and gets akumatized into Frightingale.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Catalyst (as well as Cavalry of Chaos)

- It's still Heroes' Day & Nathalie still becomes Catalyst, but there a different plan and back up plan.

- Lila's still needed as Volpina, but this time Gabriel and Nathalie (mostly Nathalie) were able to do enough research to fix the Peacock Miraculous and give Catalyst a Sentimonster.

- This Sentimonster transforms those who were saddened by Kitty Claws's "death" & Scarabée "joining Hawkmoth" into her own Cavalry of Chaos.

- They're all ordered to look for the "evil" Scarabée and were told that if they were to see Kitty Claws, then she's obviously a fake.

- The other part of the plan was to re-akumatized those who have been saddened by the new already.

- When the Heroes are backed into a corner and hope is lost, the hero "Lapin du Temps" makes his present day appearance!

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun s2 ep21

Last episode for this season!

It’s strange we’re only getting 21. It feels like an awkward number to end on since many other anime that goes on for 20+ episodes have at least 24-26. Oh well, s3 has been announced so it’s all good I guess.

It's still the Apocalypse (the last day of it) and Iruma is trying to finish all of his homework which seem to be going well. He had a lot to do due to homework being doubled.

Why was homework doubled? It's the consequence of a past action...

It was due to the bet from back at the Walter Park arc! They remembered about it (I kinda forgot about it, honestly, since so many things happened since then).

Grandpa Sullivan is the one to choose the winners and decided it was all of them making them all both the winners and losers of the bet. With this, both the prize and punishments applied - they were treated to an expensive meal but they also have to deal with a ton of homework. Kalego-sensei is pissed he had to pay for everyone’s food but was very happy to tell them that they will be suffering for the rest of the apocalypse.

Iruma worked hard and got through all the homework though.

This Apocalypse Iruma had: gone on vacation with his friends, went on a sleepover at a friend's house, and went on a date... so naturally, this time around he's spending time with family!

He and Grandpa are gonna go buy school supplies. I kinda missed when me and my family did that back in the day. I always found shopping for school supplies fun.

Due to the season's earlier events, Iruma has gotten pretty popular it seems so Grandpa gives him anti-recognition glasses for a disguise. Ain’t the boy cute? I dunno why but with anime characters, glasses actually either add or subtract from how good or bad their appearance is.

Haha this reminds me, there’s this anime called “Castle Town Dandelion” and the MC is a girl who hates standing out and in one episode, her sister gave her glasses that could allegedly do the same thing Iruma’s glasses here could. It doesn’t work like that and everyone just acted as if it does to make her feel better. Akane needed this version lol.

They're headed to Magical Street to go shopping! A new area has been introduced to both us and Iruma.

This is apparently where shops, parks and also teacher's dorms are located. I’m wondering why the teacher’s dorms are here when back in the episodes where Iruma joined the student council, it seems he and the student council members were staying over at school. Why isn’t the dorm for faculty members at school, too then? Weird.

Iruma's Grandpa is pretty popular, too. People crowded around him as soon as they saw him but doesn't recognize Iruma due to the glasses. Makes me wonder why Grandpa didn't wear ones himself lol.

Grandpa Sullivan isn’t just popular as he’s well-liked, too.

First, clothes shopping! Iruma tried on a coat as they need some for the upcoming winter. Grandpa decides these were good and takes an entire rack. Damn they're rich lol. He tells Iruma to just wear a different one everyday.

They're buying accessories next and Opera suggest that Iruma buy a collar for his familiar which is Kalego-sensei lol. Iruma knew it would not end well if he actually did that and declines. Opera is disappointed by this... they really want to mess with Kalego, huh?

I think it’s funny but I also pity Kalego-sensei. Having to deal with his senpai’s antics long after graduating. The nightmare of many former students.

Next they're buying books! God this makes me miss going to book fairs.

Grandpa tells the staff at the desk what books he wanted and each one he lists off automatically flies down next to him (pretty cool). Grandpa explains that Iruma would need a lot of books to learn more spells. They talked about the spell Fractal (which Iruma used to princess carry Ameri last episode) and Grandpa tells him that with enough practice, Iruma could also use it to be able to fly. Grandpa takes this chance to show-off to Iruma by using it to take down a shoplifter. Everyone in the store is amazed but Iruma's praise is the one Grandpa cares about the most.

They continue shopping for stuff. This was funny cause the way Grandpa said the lollipop's name reminded me of how Doraemon introduces the items from his pocket. Also, does this mean that lollipop has no expiration date?

The day ends with the two having a talk (Opera went and got the carriage). Iruma says he had a lot of fun at school which made his Grandpa happy knowing Iruma has gotten used to living here. Grandpa tells him that the new semester would be even more eventful than this one and showed him a poster of what I assume would be the festivals the other fans have been mentioning.

In the middle of their talk, Iruma suddenly asks Grandpa about how to become a Demon King (likely cause he overheard some people wondering aloud why Sullivan, a powerful demon, didn't want to take the job despite being qualified for it).

Grandpa is surprised and speechless for a moment but then becomes happy and says if Iruma is asking cause he wanted to be Demon King then Grandpa will support him. Iruma explains he’s just curious.

Flashback! It seems Grandpa used to work for the former Demon King, Delkiller.

Too bad his face is covered. I’m curious to know what he looked like when he was younger.

Oooh... we finally see him - the infamous Delkiller that's been talked about for a long time. His face isn't completely properly shown for now, I guess but he’s shown to be pretty huge. He seems lazy but he also takes pride in the Demon World he's created. The flashback ends here though.

His hair color reminds me somewhat of Evil Cycle! Iruma’s hair color...

We get a bit of lore info from Grandpa about Demon Kings.

Grandpa explains about the 13 Crowns - representatives of the Demon World who help govern it - and that to become a Demon King, one must possess the trust of every single one since they'd be the one to rule the Demon World.

He also explains the role and power of the Demon King - their word is law and they are the Demon World itself. Demons will do as they commanded. The Demon World is a reflection of whoever ruled it and right now, the Demon World is a fun place because Delkiller-sama was a fun person.

Grandpa explains that with all these in mind, he doesn't know if he'd even get the role someday if he wanted it or if he ever did, if he'd be worthy of it. It’s such a big thing after all.

If he did become the Demon King though, he says he'd do this: make the Demon World "Iruma"-themed lol. Seriously though, he says he'd support Iruma if he'd become the Demon King and would like to see what kind of world Iruma would create.

These statements are very ironic considering who would end up being future Demon King haha.

While Iruma said he didn’t want to become Demon King, he did end up thinking about it. What if he did become the Demon King?

Hmm... for someone who isn’t interested, he looked like he was thinking deeply about it.

They get back home and later that night, Iruma checked the stuff Granpa bought him.

Iruma finally gets a hold of the Demon King Prophecy! We've heard about the prophecy before but Iruma probably hasn't yet until now. After listing the stuff about the future king, there’s a shot of Iruma’s hand with his ring haha. Upon reading this, Iruma thought more about it: What kind of world would it become if he were to become the Demon King?

You’re not the only one wondering Iruma. I’m sure the rest of the fandom is wondering that, too.

The new semester begins! The entire Abnormal class is told that they now have to attain Dalet (4) rank before their second year begins as it's the minimum they'd need to graduate - failure results in them losing the Royal One classroom!

--

Not gonna lie, the shopping part of the episode reminded me of the scenes at the beginning of the firsts Harry Potter movies with them shopping at Diagon Alley. It’s fun and I got to see more of the Demon World. I wonder if they’d show us other places in the Demon World in the next season.

Grandpa happily doting on Iruma made me think that maybe it’d have been better for him if he had gotten to adopt Iruma as a child. Iruma is already a teenager and so their time they could spend together wouldn’t be as long or as often since Iruma had friends and busy with school. On the other hand, Iruma gained a lot of experiences in his crappy life before getting here and it did help him become the person he is. I guess the problem here is that he’s human and he probably ages faster than everyone else. :P

Like I mentioned before, it feels weird we only got 21 episodes this time. I was hoping there’d be another arc before the end of the season. There’s already a season 3 announcement and for next year, I think, so its all good. It might feel like a long time but I thought the same back when season 1 ended and now the finale for season 2 had just aired. Time flies fast.

I just wanna point out that in the last scene at the classroom when they were being told about the rank raising they gotta do, Agares is shown with his eyes visible. I’m glad they never put that mask back to cover his face cause he looks good haha. Glad they kept this detail.

Well, thank you for reading this and the other posts, too if you did. I guess we’d have to wait for season 3 now. I’m glad this show is popular enough to gain another season so fast. :)

MLQC Headcanons - Quarantine with the 4 boys

Warning: Minor plot spoilers for main story; suggestive? not really?

Because a lot of people have been worrying over current situations, I hope this can perhaps lessen your burdens. Enjoy!

Victor

Your entire apartment complex is set as a shelter-in-place

Even though you’re so healthy, you can’t go outside

So after work, he orders suggests you stay at his house for the time being

You happily take the offer (pudding all day, every day!)

You actually don’t have your stuff with you (and can’t go back to your now-blocked off apartment)

The two of you arrive home to CONVENIENTLY placed clothes (with your size), toothbrush sets, and enough groceries for 4

Victor avoids your eyes

So this is why Goldman kept complaining about how he’s a butler now

He tells you to take a bath first while he prepares dinner

You suggest taking one together (with the look to accompany your words)

He pauses for a second, nearly drops the knife, before responding

“....dummy.... then we’ll have no time to cook ALL of this food to satisfy that never-ending stomach of yours”

Really? Mr. Victor “Time Controller” Li saying there’ll be no time?

You roll your eyes before heading to the bathroom (fortunately, you didn’t catch Victor’s cheeks starting to go pink)

After dinner, you two watch movies together

Rock, paper, scissors; winner gets to pick (he stops time right after you pull out paper; he pulls out rock)

You decide to put on a black and white film you’ve never heard of before

“You’re going to fall asleep, MC”

“Am not!”

You’re out within the first 20 minutes (your head is lying against his shoulders)

“This dummy...what am I going to do with you?”

Contrary to his words, his tone is delicate and he smiles warmly, picking you up to let you sleep in the bed

Of course, he will too

Kiro

Savin cancelled all his schedules so as to prevent him from going outside

Nothing is boring with this energetic ball of sunshine

Even quarantine

He's actually excited for this (an excuse to stay up all night with you)

It’s not a sleepover, Kiro

Buys 3 bags full of snacks and food before going to his house

"We're gonna need ALL of this if we want to survive, MC!"

Treats the entire process as a zombie apocalypse

You're wearing matching pajamas that he specifically made Savin order (sorry Savin)

Actually brought walkie-talkies so you can talk to each other in different rooms (his house is HUGE)

You call him Agent Key, he calls you Agent Chips

Insists you end your sentences with “Over.” (whines if you don’t)

He waits by the door for you to walk by, ambushing you with kisses all over

You grab a nearby pillow to playfully nudge his chest

Proves useless because he just hugs you even tighter, as if he's trying so hard to keep you from leaving

You notice the slight change in his actions, and pull down his collar to kiss his nose

He’s definitely caught off guard as he can feel his cheeks starting to burn

You say nothing and simply bury your head in his arms

You guide him to the bed because he NEEDS reassurance that you’ll be with him forever

You answer by being the big spoon this time around (he loves it more when you stroke his hair)

"We're gonna get through this together, alright?"

Lucien

He knew the apartment complex would be quarantined sometime soon

Invites you over to his place, instead

Actually supplied to the MAX (this man just knows)

Recent news has made you frustrated and worried (of course, he realized this too How could he not)

He prepares you chamomile tea to ease your anxiety (you love the way he elegantly brews and he knows that)

He uses the china set the two of you bought together (only takes it out of the case when he serves you)

His house just has that scent

Infused with lavender; it’s enough to make your nerves calm down by a ton

You take a sip of the tea and lean back on the couch, completely at peace

After brewing his own cup, he sits next to you

Does a quick briefing on how the situation might change in the future

“No matter what happens, I’m always your next-door neighbor”

You set your cup down and lay your head on his shoulders

It gives you a sense of security in a world where danger is all around

The smell of Lucien coaxes you to a wonderful sleep

He looks at you with multiple emotions in his soft eyes, all pointing to the same thought

“.....am I enough for her?”

Is it too selfish of him to want her by his side? Forever?

He looks down at his teacup, fully decorated with butterflies painted with all colors of the rainbow

Was this cup always this beautiful?

You lightly mumble some words in your slumber, much to his delight (he always did enjoy listening to your “dream language”)

“I love you, Lucien” 

He goes wide-eyed before closing his eyes and matching his breathing to yours

“I love you, too”

Gavin

He was dropping you off at your apartment after work ended

There was a curfew set in your town, so he couldn’t go home on Sparky (probably pertains to “flying” home, too)

Despite your worries, he opens your window to fly off

You grab his arms (he’s surprised, but definitely happy about it)

“You can stay over at my place!” 

BIRDCOP IS CONFLICTED

Would you have done the same to your next-door neighbor if he asked??

A strong gust of wind blows into your open window (Gavin is brought back to his senses as you struggle to close it)

Tightly shutting your window, he accepts (he’ll have to talk to you about being too trusting later)

You bring him the clothes he left behind last time (you may have worn it once or thrice but you washed it, of course)

Tonight’s dinner will have to be instant ramen (you forgot to buy groceries; it was sudden, after all)

He notices you stocked up on his favorite types, and blushes slightly

You don’t understand what’s so embarrassing about instant ramen

It starts heavily pouring as the two of you clean up after dinner

You take a shower first while he sets up the bed (his ears are fully perked, happily listening to your cute little humming)

When he’s done with his shower, you two cuddle close on the bed, watching the news on TV (he smells like you, and it’s great)

You must’ve shown signs of worry, because he turns off the TV and pulls you into his arms, chin resting on your head

Words can’t explain how comforting it is right now. How SAFE you feel.

The two of you doze off into a deep slumber in each other’s embrace, surrounded by the harmony of heavy rain softened by an opposing wind 

He knows you sleep better when it’s quiet

This took longer than expected but so WORTH IT

AHHHHH the FLUFFF

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this post, hope I was able to stay in character!

Whose imagines did you enjoy the most? If I had to choose, I would choose Lucien’s (sorry Birdcop, but I actually felt emotional when I wrote Lucien’s)

Stay safe and healthy, everybody! We can get through this!

Kadam Week 2021 Day 1 ~ Do You Want To Be A Pirate?

So this is me trying to not start something on a platform only to post solely somewhere else aka AO3 and ff.net  you can find the complete list of Kadam Week 2021 prompts and you might find more stories on the Kadam Week 2021 AO3 collection

That said, the fist prompt was Puzzles and Games. And what represents better both than a treasure hunt? So here we go, I present to you Do You Want To Be A Pirate?

All the student body was abuzz, the annual treasure hunt was to be announced soon, it was always a great event. Mainly because the winner of the event earned a full booklet of backstage passes. Sixteen of them, completely blank to be used at the winner discretion during the current theatre season.

No limits were imposed on how the passes were to be used, be in a single show with a large group or even touring all the shows solo. The catch was that if multiple shows were to be watched by a group of two people up, the winner had to be there for each show.

Those booklets were the courtesy of Alumni working in the field. And to be honest it was a fun event for the faculty as well to create the set of riddles and clues needed to reach the destination.

It was supposed to be a moment of fun,  but at the same time given the kind of prize, it was not meant to be effortless.

However to the faculty disappointment, the individuals only rule with no cooperation allowed present in the previous editions, resulted in no winners for the past couple of years.

After consulting the sponsor, it was decided that for this year students could sign up as pairs.

But if the students decided to sign up as pair, then both the winners would have to be present each time they were to use the passes.

And apparently that wasn’t a condition that some were comfortable with, while others like Kurt were actually overjoyed.

Once he heard of the treasure hunt, he went out searching for Adam, barely containing his elation and desire to share the news.

Upon finding his boyfriend, Kurt was barely able to contain his excitement and he launched himself into Adam's arm sure he'd be caught.

Adam grinned and kissed Kurt back, holding him securely before saying "Hellu Love, what got you so excited?"

Kurt chuckled and as soon as his feet touched the floor once more he raised the flier and pointed to the fine prints "They mentioned a change in the rules and on this year’s event people can sign up as pairs. The catch is that both need to be present when using the passes, so you're game signing up with me?"

Adam raised an eyebrow curious before reading the flier aloud "The Annual Treasure Hunt? Is that what got you so excited? Except for my freshman year, I don't recall any of those events actually ever having winners"

Erika came up from the side and quipped "Three years ago was the last time someone won, but it was again one of the last seniors graduating. After that batch left, no one ever figured out the clues, I'm surprised the faculty still does it"

Kurt shrugged "Well the prize makes very much sense for the school, I mean blank passes for the backstage of current productions? That sounds interesting, and sixteen of them would actually mean we could all go together as a group and still have two spares for the winning team to get another show, or split between two productions..."

Kurt speech had most of the Apples smiling and send to their favourite freshie an adoring look.

Adam still amazed by his boyfriend asked softly "So you suggest a common effort and register more than one team, and then Apples parties at my place, where we could all chill out and talk about our days?"

JJ quipped up "Only if that involved baked goods from both our favourite bakers, because Adam ma man, I love your cookies but gimme Kurt's  casserole and salty cupcakes any time, and I could even fight you off and offer my hand in marriage for having those every day"

Kurt snorted and swatted away playfully JJ's offered hand "You are not even remotely bi-curious, If I wanted to live with an overgrown kid who'd stay with me for my cooking I'd simply invite my brother to move in with me"

Everyone around chuckled at that and JJ pouted mockingly offended "Are you insinuating I'm not man enough for you?"

Adam then stepped in smirking "More like implying that all the main male leads in his life are already cast, and you dear friend can only be the occasional torn in our butt, one that comes every now and then to offer his company in exchange for delicious food..."

Grinning like a cheshire cat JJ quipped back "Well we all know that the good ones are all gay, unavailable or happily being both together"

Everyone broke down in giggles and with resolute nods each claimed a partner. The divide and conquer idea Kurt had was very intriguing, and the thought of getting the upper hand on an event that even the Perks couldn't get their way by popularity alone, or that no one else won for the past couple of years had its allure…

Especially given the mixed composition of techies and performers in their group.

Seeing Kurt smiling radiantly was something each member of the Apples enjoyed and cherished.

Especially since the big fallout, or as it was known amongst them, the great purge of the toxic influx in Kurt's life.

Also known as the day when Miss fallen out Diva Berry left the loft in a huff and Kurt and his roommate Santana took the storming out literally and changed the key of the padlock.

Sending all of Berry’s stuff back to the temporary storage place two blocks away from bushwick, with a 3 days grace period and a week paid with Berry's part of the deposit.

Kurt himself was just very happy to be surrounded by friends who supported him as much as he supported them.

Being with Adam and being friends with all the members of the Adam's Apples, had given him a perspective he never knew he desperately needed, and it also lowered his tolerance for taking crap by those who were supposed to be on his side.

Kurt was not secretly very excited by the prospect of looking forward to something in his life that could be just fun and despite being officially a competition. He was still able to live it as an adventure, to be shared with his boyfriend and all their friends as well.

As they walked away from the registration boot and reading the first clue ‘Every adventure needs a captain to sail for the treasure island’

Kurt giggle when Adam playfully whispered in his ear "Aye aye captain let's get our sea legs on"

Kurt nodded and they made it to the costume department through the back corridors, not wanting to tip off the other not Apples participants, while their friends instead received simply a gentle reminded in their text chat, that all hearties were to meet at rehearsal later in the week same place same time.

Indeed their guess was correct when they found the next clue stating ‘Never forget those who came before you’

Kurt and Adam took the chance to grab a quick lunch as they discussed the clue. Adam was the first one to attempt to solve it "If we are thinking about the school that would send us to the hall of fame"

Kurt nodded slowly but tapped his finger against his lips "But what if it's a more general outlook? We are learning to get into an industry that broadens beyond the limits of the school and its social circles, even if those are still important"

Adam hummed softly mulling over it "So you're suggesting more like the library?"

Kurt nodded "I'm just unsure whether we are supposed to search in the history section itself or go more for the history of Broadway and theatre section"

Adam nodded slowly "there's no rule about not searching blindly both"

Kurt chuckled and nodded as well, after finishing his cup he raised an eyebrow in silent question and received a simple nod in response.

Once in the library, Adam was the one to take over the history of Broadway and the theatre section while Kurt went through the History books.

It took a while but finally Adam was successful and found a piece of plasticised parchment with what appeared half of the final clue.

The mention of a second half made him frown, but with nothing else to be found there, he simply took a picture of it with his phone.

He then placed the clue back inside the book and the book back on the shelf before going to find Kurt, hoping his got lucky and found the second half.

"Did you get anything?"

Kurt shook his head a little put off "No absolutely nothing, you?"

Adam nodded "Yeah I found something but it's only half of the final clue"

Kurt frowned confused "Guess it's time to start some baking then hmmm?"

Adam smiled and leaned forward to give Kurt a small peck on his cheek trying to stop the frowning "We could do directly at my place and then make an evening out of it"

The offer, as Adam hoped, brought a smile on Kurt's face as he replied coyly "I'd love that, are you offering just the evening or it could turn into a sleepover"

Adam grinned and moved so that he could kiss those cheeky lips, when he was almost where he wanted to be, he breathed quickly "We'll swing by the loft if there's something you absolutely need for tomorrow classes"

He then proceeded to thoroughly kiss his boyfriend.

After classes ended for the day, Kurt sent a message to their chat group informing everyone that it was baking time in the afternoon

Adam raised an eyebrow curiously at the message and Kurt shrugged stating simply "That way we can be sure basically everyone will show up with something to contribute, just before or around dinner time, and then the meeting will become a movie night"

Adam snorted because indeed knowing their friends that was what would most likely happen, "It wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I offered to make an evening out of it darling"

Kurt grinned, mischief gleaming clearly in his eyes "That's why I raised your offer to a sleepover instead..."

And true to Kurt's expectations, that evening all the Apples who didn't have to work, appeared at Adam's doorstep with offerings for the shared evening meal.

Of course those who had worked demanded a do-over with double baked goodies of their faves as personal share...

Once everyone was seated around, Paul, who paired up with JJ for the treasure hunt, asked "How was your hunt we've only found half of the final clue"

Kurt wrinkled his nose "we reached only half of the final clue as well care to see if we've all found the same half or if we lucked out?"

Adam took off his phone and started to read aloud "Congratulation adventurers, you're holding half of the treasure map holding the clue for the final answer you will have to give to someone to receive your treasure, think back on the steps you took to find this and then go and find the last missing piece"

JJ jumped up from his seat exclaiming excitedly "Yes we've got both!"

Paul shook his head smiling and took off his own phone reading "Congratulation adventurers, you're holding half of the treasure map holding the clue to figure out who is the officer that you'll need to impress with the answer that you still need to find to receive your treasure, think back on the steps you took to find this and then go and find the last missing piece"

Everyone was suddenly buzzing with unrestrained excitement when Kurt asked pragmatically "So how are we going to tackle this? Reading both clues together and then split between them or focusing the attention on a single one?"

Adam suggested swiftly "We could actually read them both and then see how to tackle the easier one first"

When everyone nodded Paul continued reading their clue "You might go to Central Park Or catch a show on Broadway...  Where in the world would you be to get to these by subway? Twice... I mean the answer is New York clearly but how does that help us identify who to give our final answer to?"

General groaning raised from around the room when Erika cut in "Adam what is your clue?"

Adam complied and read it for everyone perusal "What show is next in this pattern: A Chorus Line, Into the Woods, Bat Boy, Pacific Overtures, Little Women, Damn Yankees, Camelot, The Pajama Game, Children of Eden. As a hint, there is more than one show that correctly works, but one show fits more ‘perfectly’ than any others.”

Adam raised his phone to let everyone seeing the picture and commented

“As a side note there's only one blank line but its length doesn't seem indicative as it was formatted to look good rather than give a hint on the last name, or at least that’s what it looks like to me"

And everyone had to nod at that consideration at that point Chris' groan was the loudest "I don't get yall, neither of those is any more clear than mat moss paint..."

Kurt sniggered but offered a plate with Chris' favourite cookies on it "It's ok, we can work it out together so any ideas?"

Matt who had been quiet this far asked Kurt speculatively "You already have an idea for at least one of them don't you?"

Kurt looked taken aback and blushed getting himself busy with the food "Nothing solid.."

At that point Adam walked behind Kurt and wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist as he pressed himself against his boyfriend "It's ok Love, you don't have to be right to speak your mind, we are here brainstorming there's no judging with us"

JJ quipped teasingly "I mean we'll obviously judge and tease you till the end of times for getting flustered the first time we took you out for blow jobs, but for this… I mean you're all going to hearing the suggestion my gorilla brain comes up with"

Chris snorted and quipped teasingly "Given what gets spawned out of your mouth I thought you would have said instead that yours is like a pig’s brain."

Matt joined in to the teasing, shaking his head as he grinned salaciously and wiggling his eyebrows "Nah a pig's brain is too big we are talking mouse if everything is in proportion."

Kurt coughed at the double meaning implied in that sentence, he feared JJ would take it badly. But he was once again surprised when JJ put theatrically one hand on his cheek, the other on his chest clearly mimicking a delightful surprise "Oh Matt, my darling why didn't you said that before… All this time you were checking me out  because you wanted some of my sweet sweet love, comma hear lemme give ya some sugar baby"

Everyone erupted in laugher and Matt maturely threw his napkin aiming for JJ's face "You wish man, you wish"

JJ pouted "Harsh dude, harsh, you could have at least throw your cupcake with the napkin"

Kurt sent a levelled glare to both boys "If anyone dares to throw our delicious baked food not only they will stay for the cleanup, but they will be banned to get more baked goodies for the next month"

A single "Ouch" escaped Matt's lips before he silenced himself and raised his arms in surrender.

Paul swatted the back of JJ's head "Don't upset daddy, or I'm so going to gag you next time we are all in the same room to prevent that from happening, I rather enjoy our baked goodies"

Erika quipped at Paul "Which is why you shouldn't save JJ from himself, let him dig his own grave, more goodies for us... Kurt had not said anything about lowering the amount of baked goodies, only put a ban on who can access them"

Chris chuckled and offered their fist to Erika, as they said grinning "Well said girl well said"

Erika smiled brilliantly and bumped the fist and then both made an explosion motion as they both retreated their arms.

Kurt raised an eyebrow at being addressed as daddy, but  Adam just held him a little closer and mouthed later.

So Kurt took the handle of the situation and started sharing his idea hoping for the current teasing to come to a natural rest "well I was thinking on Paul and JJ's clue... What if we need to take that final twice literally? As in the correct answer is New York, New York"

Erika's eyes shone brighter "Like the Scorsese's movie?"

Kurt nodded "Yes that's also the name of the most known song from that movie, so New York New York could be the solution"

Paul pondered and then said "Well if we are talking about a movie would that mean that we are to talk with the dean of the drama department?"

Kurt bit his lips and then he continued explaining his thoughts "I was thinking more about the fact it might refer to the song, which then in turn would make Madam T be the one to speak with, given that she's the dean of vocal performance. And with the movie being also a musical maybe the singing component is more pronounced and would lead to her instead of Mr Keller?"

Adam then said serenely "Once we figure out the answer we could even decide to split and each team going to both of them with the solution."

Murmurs of agreement run through the room until Matt stated "So now we just have to figure out what that list of musicals have in common?"

JJ scratched his head before raising and grabbing few more cupcakes to munch on "Do you think that the fact they cross two centuries means anything?"

Chris promptly opened Adam's computer and pulled up the wikipedia pages of all the listed musicals before shaking their head "Nope they are not in chronological order so it’s not that"

Paul then quipped "And that wouldn't make any sense, the additional hint says that there's only one answer that would fit perfectly... it's not like there's only one new musical coming out every single year"

Erika asked then "I am not familiar with all the titles but are they really all musicals?"

Adam answered "Yeah all of those listed are musicals, so maybe we need to check on the songs?"

Matt then wondered aloud "What if it's something all the songs have? Maybe there's a matching title or a recurring theme?"

Kurt took out his phone and looked around and said "well there's seven of us and nine titles maybe we could each open the list and check them side by side?"

JJ grinned and took out his phone as well "That's a great idea"

Kurt started listing all the songs of chorus line, Matt went on with the ones from into the woods,  JJ giggled like a maniac as he read the bat boy's list. Paul read on the Pacific Overtures and Erika listed the ones from Little Women.

When Adam, who was reading from the Damn Yankees, reached the song titled Six months, Chris exclaimed excited while raising a finger silently asking for a moment "Holy moley I think we got something going here"

Everyone turned, waiting for more explanation that Chris promptly provided "Each of those musicals has a song with a number in their titles" and then they pointed to Kurt who quickly caught up and said "One" and then each proceeded in order Matt said "It takes two", JJ said excited "Three Bedroom House "

Paul grinned starting to see the path as he said "Four Black Dragons"

Erika was grinning madly as she said "Five forever"

Then JJ still super hyped by having discovered the key to decode the clue he asked Chris "So what are the others?"

Chris smirked and started prattling "In Camelot we have ‘The Seven Deadly Virtues’, The Pajama Game has a song called  ‘7½ Cents’ while the Children of Eden has ‘A Piece of Eight’”

Kurt hummed softly and considered aloud "So we have nine musicals mentioned but the last number is eight... What if they had already given us the answer and it's literally Nine?"

Adam whistled impressed "That actually makes so much sense..."

Paul groaned "And if you explain it like that it seems so obvious too"

Erika shrugged "All riddles once explained make so much sense that you usually feel stupid for not reasoning it out before... That's why they are considered brain teasers"

Chris who in the meantime checked out Kurt's suggestion finally quipped triumphantly "That's it guys, we have a winner the answer is indeed Nine, which has a song called guess what?”

Chuckling everyone said at once “Nine"

JJ then scratched his head and then asked "So now we are only unsure on who we need to tell our answer to?"

Paul quipped happily “Me says Adam and Kurt follow Kurt’s reasoning, we follow ours, that way if our suspicion is correct and Kurt is right it’ll be them and not us having a private date… No offence man but I’d really prefer not having my girlfriend gutting me for going out on a date with you”

JJ snorted before sounding almost genuinely upset “Harsh man, harsh”

Paul patted JJ shoulder when Kurt asked confused “But what about the others?”

Matt answered smiling “Kurt you four are the only ones who got to the final clue, I personally wouldn’t like to try to get the prize knowing I barely got to the second one.”

Chris and Erika nodded as well confirming they felt the same way.

Kurt felt relieved that he wasn’t taking advantage of his friends. With everything sorted out, everyone else left leaving just Kurt and Adam alone.

After they settled down Kurt turned to Adam, with a questioning look on his face before asking “Is now later? Do I get to know what the daddy comment was about?”

Adam chuckled softly “Nothing bad Love, I can assure you that, you know that I’m considered the mother hen of the group right?”

Kurt hummed softly nodding as he snuggled closer to Adam who then continued “And well you’re too sweet and kind to all the Apples to be considered a father, but still we are together and we both tend to take care of them so…”

Kurt chuckled and finished shaking his head “So I’m daddy… Not sure how to feel about having so many kids that are all older than me”

They both sniggered at that.

The next day, when they went talking with Madam Tibideaux, they discovered that indeed Kurt’s reasoning was correct, and they got out of her office with the prize and matching grins. ~The End~
