Frog Herald: For the Mayor, And Invitation From the Queen, To dreamworld Entertainment For a Vacation!

Mayor StarShine: Oh my! Thank you! Give my regards to the Queen!

I like pain... so I decided to go there! lol Narrowing it down to 10 was nearly impossible because I love every single commission I have SO SO much.

I quickly realized that there was no way I was ranking them, so these ten are in no particular order.

Crimes of Passion:

Take Me Out - Trystan Thorne x Carolina Rose - by @/artbyainna(IG) - Maybe it's because I'm a huge Yankee fan, and I've been there many times when the sun is setting just like this. Ah, who am I kidding? It's because my babies are adorable and so happy!

Vasili Thorne: The Lost Brother - by @oh-so-youre-a-nerd - We so deserved a CG of this deliciously maniacal scene in canon - but PB didn't deliver. Fortunately, Thia MORE than did with this incredible commission.

Open Heart:

Enchanted - Tobias Carrick x Casey MacTavish - by @/artbyainna (IG) - Their meeting at the diner in cannon reimagined as it should have been, and Ainna captured it perfectly.

A Carrick Family Easter - Tobias x Casey Carrick & the Carrick Girls. I may have screamed when I opened this one. This could possibly be my favorite of all my commissions.

A Little Holiday Cheer - Tobias x Casey, Ethan x Merida, Bryce x Olivia - this commission of our little friends AU sparkled more brightly than the holiday lights surrounding them!

Boys Night Out - Tobias, Ethan, Bryce by @/artbyainna - I simply LOVE this.

Any Other Day - Casey MacTavish x Jessica Philips - by @callmebeem - My precious Casey and Jess "celebrating" Valentine's Day and it came out just perfectly!

I do, Me too - Ethan Ramsey x Kaycee MacClennan - @/artbyainna - Kaycee and Ethan's "surprise" wedding on the beach was captured just perfectly by Ainna!

Wake the Dead:

Eli's Family - Eli Sipes, David Sipes, Florence & Jim Sipes - by @rosefuckinggenius - This brought tears to my eyes. I wrote an extensive backstory for Eli's family. I also wrote a fic where Zoe drew a portrait of Eli's family and decided to have someone create that, and Rose BLEW me away!

Reminiscing - Eli Sipes x Zoe Rivera - by @/artbyainna - This was my first WTD commission and I am still obsessed with it! It captured their first kiss atop the Ferris wheel perfectly!

Eli x Zoe x Troy - by @bayleedraws-sometimesx - This is a recent gift from @icecoffee90 and OMG JUST LOOK AT THEM! This couldn't be more adorable!

Oh, that's 11... OH WELL! LOL I truly love every commission I have, and if you'd like to see more, they're all here!

Flex Legacy Gen 5: Love at Last and a Love Lost

Leo asks Sullivan out for a date at the new Bistro in Windenburg. Things go well and they have an after-date at the Dorthy and Friends Bar.

So well they end up taking it back to Leo’s place.

With no time to waste because they wasted enough time skirted around each other as teens, Sullivan pops the question.

They decided to get married on the renovated top floor of the Dorothy and Friends Bar.

A great time was had by all. Even Sullivan parents who felt the romantic vibes in the public toilets

The next day, Aaliyah aged up and tried to pursue a serious relationship with Lilian Bailey-Moon. But unfortunately Lillian is salty with her because she didn’t invite her to prom. But it’s not Lilian’s fault prom was on the same day as her brother’s wedding.

Lillian then has the nerve to invite Aaliyah to that one exclusive celebrity bar in Del Sol Valley, knowing Aaliyah is not famous enough to get in. Aaliyah tries to fight the bouncer to gain entry but fails.

Still Aaliyah tries to make things work with Lillian and proposes to her and they elope on the spot.

Unfortunately after their bedroom celebration of their new love, Aaliyah ended up with a WTD and divorced Lillian. Shortest marriage ever. We can’t all be Kenza and Lia from the Tate Legacy.

Things go for bad to worse when the family dog, Murphy who ran away, returns, but briefly dies afterwards. The family is devastated, but you know what could cheer them up? A new science baby! Welcome to the family Serena Dupree-Flex!

[ratontheline]

A lil backstory about the recent piece. That piece was marinating in the drafts for weeks now, that bitch is AGED, I honestly thought it was goofy ass trash so I abandoned it.

So I then decided I wanted to draw another piece - that turned out to also be GOOFY ASS TRASH, so now I got two pieces haunting me.

I then decided to try again, obviously 3rd times the charm or whatever right? So I begin cooking - nope. Still ass water, So now I got a fucking triad of disappointment.

So I’m staring at them like “fuck… wtd LMAO, I guess I can’t draw, I’ll quit my shit here” and then I did LMAO.

So the weeks go by then suddenly, like divine inspiration, someone possessed me, I became a fiend, looking for something to nibble on and then I saw my first piece, something clicked in my head. I started to COOK. I was man handling the bbq grill, and then BOOM breakfast, lunch and dinner is SERVED.

Idk if people will like it but drawing and finishing it made me feel good and therefore it and I served.

Anyway that’s the lore behind it, another weird funky ass step in my art journey I guess LMAO. Thanks for reading, Cheers fellas!

[analog-cottage-gore]

Hey I saw you were looking for questions about your Wtd aus? Well i couldn't pick one so here's a question for all of them!

Hazelnut tree: What's the alison in this au like? I would love to see his dynamic with more characters and we know he ends up with hazel. I wonder what his rule following personality would look like next to winnies moral roulette wheel.

Scaly secrets: You said some of the cast were dragons? Which ones!? And what colors. Are they all the same kinda dragon or different styles?

Cryptic Dreams: Is everyone a cryptid or are some of them hunters? What are some ways they avoid the hunters using their cryptid abblites?

Superhero: what are their powers? Understandable if you haven't got that all figured out yet. Superheroes are hard. So i'm also going to ask are they all heroes or are some of them villains and vigilantes. 

Post cannon au: Who shares rooms? How many bunk beds? Or do they all get their own room?

Mixed marriages: Where did you get the idea for the kingdom names you wrote about in the snippet you posted?

Robotic fantasy (I LOVE EXTRA ANGST): I noticed we are in a lot of the same fandoms so what other fandoms exactly are being thrown into the mix here? And what's your favorite duo of a WTD character partnered with a non WTD character?

I'm sorry if it's a lot of questions I have a lot to ask! Hearing about cool stuff like this always inspires me! Gets me thinking you know? They just all sound so cool! Hope you don't mind the length!

Salty I am so fucking happy you don't even know, this is my favorite ask ever I couldn't even imagine this!!!!!! I don't mind the length the length lets me ramble about my ideas which I need to do!!!!!!

Hazelnut tree: Allison would probably secretly tag along with Hazel and Night Light, and therefore ends up talking to the whole little group that's building. Allison would hate Winnie before his redemption due to helping Litho so much. After Win's redemption though? They'd probably get along relatively well, helped by the fact that I'm pretty sure their related, and at the very least they are in HNT.

Scaly Secrets: Currently the dragons consist of; Sara, Wiatt, Carly, Mike, The Triplets, and Winnie! Sara is dark pink, Wiatt is blue, Carly is light pink, Mike is orange, the Triplets are their respective animatron main colors, and Winnie is purple. Kept the color choices simple. Currently I don't have any great ideas on designs/abilities for the dragons, but I'm working on it! (They're all technically dragon shifters btw)

Cryptic Dreams: The cryptids are all the animatronic possessers (minus Eric who has a different deal going on) and Sara and the Twins. The main plot revolves around Wiatt, Damian, Celio, and Oliver thinking all tge cryptids have been taken by cryptids since they don't know they are the cryptids. So they team up with actual cryptid hunters to find them. Carly is also in the team to try and keep everyone from finding out about the cryptids while also stopping them from getting hurt. They use their abilities in a lot of ways, mainly to trap the hunters.

Superheros: Decided to answer both at once with a list, not everyone had powers decided on yet. A lot of them use the animatronic names as alter egos, and those who don't have. Kinda bad names lol.

Heros: Starlight (Lewis)* [????? And Specialized Telekinesis], Glory (Alyssa) [Water Manipulation and Siren Song], Rex (Mike), Ribbon Dancer (Ribbion Dancer)

Vigilantes: ???? (Wiatt) [Tech Manipulation], Detective (Damian) [Power Sight], The Triplets (The Triplets), Cheer (Carly) [Super Speed]

Villains: Shadina (Sara) [Shadow Powers and Specilized Telekinesis], Tela (Oliver)* [Tech Manipulation and Specilized Telekinesis], Winnie (Carlos/Winnie), Litho (Litho) [Shadow Powers], Lolli (Liz)*, Pop (Ben)*

(*depends on where in the plot they are)

Post Canon: As a general rule, all couples and young siblings share a room. So we got:

Lewis/Wiatt

Mike/Alyssa

Oliver/Damian

Liz/Ben

Mascarade/Melody/Mimic

Eric(/Ribbion Dancer technically)

Carly

Sara

Celio (maybe, idk if they're gonna live with everyone else)

Fun fact, the house they live in is the mansion Wiatt was implied to have lived in during highschool!

Mixed Marriages: The kingdom names cam from me translating a word relating to the character who's a royal in that kingdom into Spanish and Russian before mushing them together and making it look and sound like a kingdom name.

Robotic Fantasy: Pretty much all of them. We got:

WTDW

SAMS

FNAF SB in general

ESMP

MCYT in general

Maybe some of my oc's???

Personally I like Lewis, Moon, and Pearl's dynamic. They go through some shit together.

Also!!! Bonus new AU:

Mcyt (mainly empires) and Wtdw popstar AU has been circling in my head recently, so add it to tge list of AU's

[bangtan-sonyeonddaeng]

Oh Katie, I am so tired. I am so lost as to WTD. Crossroads of sorts but also not as it's not like anything will change now but decision for later is to be made (Work profile & academic course related stuff) However, it is tiring me out & I have no appropriate answers. That's not like me honestly, but here we are. Not sure if I am sure of what I want to continue with. How is that even possible 😞 How good to have NamGi to guide; JiHoKook to cheer; TaeJin to cut off anxious thoughts. #prettytae

Idk if this well help but, whenever I have a tough decision to make or one that is just wearing me out I flip a coin. Because if I am disappointed by what it lands on then I know it was I truly wanted in the first place. 

But yes. No matter where you are in the world, or wha you’re going through BTS is always cheering and rooting for you. Jimin even said in the commencement speech for the 2020 graduating class to just remember that there is a guy in Korea always cheering for you and that will always be by your side. 

[rokettopencil]

i cant die yet i need to wait for the vox machina cartoon but idk wtd in the meantime

i feel like a shitbag saying this but my bf hasnt done much to cheer me up so i decided to go for radio silence

at this point i’m just sabotaging myself

but even if things end poorly, i know i can die freely

[ivo-martinsss]

I am glad I could cheer you up! ❤️ I am in a bad mood because PB only gave Wake the Dead one book so making others happy makes me happy!

Awwww! 🥰

And about WTD... I just heard about it!!! 😪 (I can't say say I am disappointed tho, i am kinda expecting PB to do just that, but thinking that Surrender gets a sequel... 😬)

wait... is WTD finsihed for VIPs now? 🤔

[xllxxrbxg]

hmmm gold digger prank yaya call my aliens from mars and tell them to get the gold

hmmmm idkkkk. update ko lang sa life rn may bebe na me. karlo is his name. he's a nice guy. takes me out (not as a hitman) occasionally. I like how he treats me; he gives me freedom. And it only means he trusts me very well. I dont have any idea where he gets the energy to trust me, but that's how it goes. Kinda shocking ba na may bebe na me hihi kakasabi ko lang sa las entry ko na ayoko maging taken GAGI tapos here i am parang clown. Pero anyways, masarap lang din sa feeling na may nakakaappreciate sayo nang ganun. Tho we just met palang and since day 1 of that meeting him personally, magkalandian na kami agad AHSDHAHDHA kasi sa chat di naman kami nag flirt in any way usap lang lagi. And di ko rin sya feel non sa chat kasi parang ang kulit na ewan, pero LOOK AT ME. So ayon naglaplapan kami the other other week pa. Make out game strongk naman kahit papano pero man his hands ... they long asffff. Anyway ayon I asked for a hickey, gave me one, and the next morning I was scolded by mom lmfao WAS FUNNY TBH BECAUSE i didnt even try to hide it. And my tito also saw it he was like "ano yang nasa neck mo? bat may pasa" and i was like "ah hehe yung ano kasi yung necklace" AHASDHHADHASH AND MOM WAS THERE SHE WAS LIKE "yung necklace nya nagtala sa pagtulog nya *sips coffee bites bread* HAHAHAHHAHAHA OMFG but later on when we went to camalig she noticed it was a real hickey and yeah I got scolded because Im so pasaway daa. Anyways LOVE YOU MOM UWU! HEHE. So ayon nga ayoko na magpromis na maglolog in ako dito daily kasi di naman natutupad. Pero kahapon kwento ko lang mars nagsakay ako sa big bike GARA PAREH as in lahat nakatingin sa tormots nung kasama ko. Nameet ko lang din sa bumble tho tig vibe check ko man sya for several weeks. And sya rin kausap ko nung time na suicidal ako so goods naman. Ok naman sya may dead air lang kaso sometimes baka nagkakahiyaan and stuff. nilibre nya ako ng milk tea, AND HAHA KASI ang weirdt tho nagtanggal ako mask. Di ako usually natanggal mask, heck si jeff na bff q never pa ako nakita personally na walang mask HAHAHAHA Anw ayon was fun tho napa Holy Mary ako habang nakasakay sa likod niya. Kasi first of all the ride was bumpy, second of all the seat was small ASS!!! and walang hawakan sa likod. Anyway people were staing hihi I DO LOVE ATTENTION! I was wearing a tank top, cargo pants, combat boots, and on top of it all I had a tatt on my arm. DAMN SHAWDDIE @ ME. LOL. Loved the temporary feeling of royalty. Gara ba naman ng motor. It was green and black in color and it was a cool ass expensive motor !! it was worth 300k+ if irc. ANW ayun had fun naman. Tho I mostly did it so that I would stray from depression but I am still depressed. I have to do something about it INTERNALLY and deal with it with myself. And stop going out with people as a shortcut to heal the depression. But anw ayun I am glad there are people that go out with me because I am sad. Plus I am grateful Karlo allows me to go out with my other friends despite that they are guys. Man that guy trusts me so much, I will not break it. Anyways he's a nice guy, but at the same time you cant have it all yk. I dont like it when he walks ahead of me just cause he has longer legs and bikes, but we can work on that. Anyways, people underestimate people on bumble. Some guys don't look like it but theyre actually rich. First example i have is AJ. he aint lookin rich man. If anything, he looks like he smokes 8 packs a day. But I was wrong he actually smokes 9. CHAROT. Mans was like teasing me most of the time and I GOT PISSED SO I FIRED BACK. but days passed he sent me 1.3k--- LIKE WHAT FOR WHAT????? I was mean yet he knew I needed something to cheer me up and HE SENT MONEY?? WHO THE FUCK SENDS 1.3K AHAHAHHAHAH SHET GANDALANGTALAGAMINSANMARS Then the other one I met just yesterday was dustin. He goes to school at UST manila and he treated me outside too. He owns the 300k motor BUT TELL YOU WHAT HE AINT LOOKIN RICH ON HIS PROFILE. If anything, I wouldnt swipe right tbh but apprarently, I did. So lesson here is dont judge people by their looks,

actually try to have a conversation with them, and treat them fairly and not be mean just because its online. Also, mostly the goodlooking ones on these dating apps are the asshole ones lmfao. Tho there are guys who look like literal shit and are assholes too. Lol anyway the third one is Karlo which I started seeing a month ago. I met up with him because I was visiting Naga temporarily and then I got bored. Supposedly I would meet up with miki because we were talking for sometime already but he was not making things happen so I just grabbed whoever was available that time and it was Karlo. Was hesitant at first, because I didnt match the vibe he had online and was too makulit for me. But to my surprise on our very first meeting, he picked me up with a fortuner. I thought he'd bring a clanky ass car or somn when he said he'd borrow from his father. Anw, was nervous when I entered the car because I was unfamiliar with the person and it was sinking into me that it could be my last day on earth. So I was like yeah he might have a car yada yada yada didnt pay much attention just yet. So we went to this field apparently people call it naga view. not much too see just overlooking the city. IT WAS A DAMN FIELD!!!!!! IDK WTD BUT HE TOOK ME THERE I WAS READY TO FIGHT FOR MY LIFE I HAD A CUTTER WITH MEEE anways.... was fun date. we had to return the car by 3 we were kinda late. so we went to his house was a nice house it had an office. was then again surprised to see a signange with their surname on it and it entailed they had a realty firm. And also turns out they own a damn resort. bro. both of his parents are engineers and are real estate brokers. and it ain even show on the pfffppp man people on bumble really be keeping it lowkey. Pero yeah he isnt rich, his parents are. that makes him a rich kid. But anw di ko naman habol money ew im not like that. I may like free stuf, but I dont chase people for money unless theyre my client or if i lent money lmfao. Just surprises me how people be rich. like damn his bike is like 130k...... man what in the wealth.... also theres zef. another good friend of mine. his dads a lawyer. idk but they seem rich plus his bike costs 65k...... thats cheper than karlos but like........... yall underestimate bikers too. man they RICH. tho you can get budget bikes but idk how youll keep up with guys that has feather weight expensive ass bikes that they hoist up single handedly LMAO. eat the rich. anyways i guess this is what this entry is all about. Me making kwento about people that are rich. I will get rich soon too. I know God will help us get what we deserve after all that losing, it is time to win. <3333

[wolfusmoonstudio]

Can we get a full design for characteristics au ppppppppplease?

Creaturistic is a very expansive universe and it would take forever to create a design references for every character, so I tried to create a height lineup with the main crew and founders in the universe I realize I should have put Wiatt in it but, idk *shrugs*

Here are the individual refs if you can't zoom in or the image quality goes to crap:

Jake, James & John (2'8):

Sara (5'2):

Carly (5'6):

Lewis (5'7):

Eric (6'1):

Ben & Liz (6'3):

Oliver (6'7):

Mike (7'2):

Alyssa (10'2) (Note: Her whole length is the same as canon Glory, 16'3 ft, but her tail accounts for part of it, so her height is different on land than in water):

[thatawkwardbryce]

—————————————————————————————

Smash.

The sound of your body hitting the locker echoed through the air. Slowly, the pain began erupting from your right shoulder. You groaned with clenched teeth.

The force that had sent you into that locker laughed, giving you a quick glance before he hurried off. You stood by the unaffected metal container, a small frown on your lips. Blinking hard, you rolled your already sore shoulder back, moaning in pain.

It was the regular torment of your day, a routine one might say. You were used to  him, Blake, toying with your already damaged mental state-- didn’t mean it hurt any less-- but it was to be expected. The physical pain, however, was quite new. What lead them to it was a mystery, but you sucked it up, just like you knew you should.

The pair of blue eyes watching from across the hall didn’t feel that he should be let off the hook. Those eyes, which had never witnessed an incident like this before felt as if something had to be done.

He knew you didn’t like when he lost his temper, so he always tried to contain it. But the sight of that asshole purposely crashing his body into yours was too much for Daryl to handle. Even as he tried to use the breathing exercises you taught him years ago, he was boiling with rage.

Hell, it was the second last day of school anyways. He didn’t care anymore.

The stuffy air of the crowded hallway quickly raced through Daryl’s lungs. His father had taught him how to hunt and how to fight. The latter being more defensive skills than anything else. Still, Daryl was a Dixon, and Dixon’s knew how to punch.

Thankfully, knuckles to the nose was all Daryl really needed to hurt the young man. A loud grunt left both of their lips, then another crash of a body slamming into a locker sounded.

“Daryl, no!” You screamed. He held back the urge to kick the now fallen teen in the stomach as he heard you. His blue eyes were lit with rage, anger and bitterness.

Blake cupped his very broken nose. Blood almost immediately began oozing out of his nostrils, his fingers gingerly touching the skin as he gasped. Daryl smirked, unaware he was even doing so.

The boy, who was expected to fight back, simply screamed for help, though not for one of his friends. The second you glanced down the hall, you saw your principal running towards you all.

“Dixon, stay back!” He screamed. Even through the layers of fake tan, you could see the redness growing on Mr. Johnson’s cheeks. You took a step back, glued to the locker behind you.

Daryl glanced at you, a slight panic in his blue eyes. Blake yelled, “Sir, he attacked me! He broke my nose!”

“Step back, boy.” The principal warned Daryl. His lanky body crunched as the abnormally tall man crouched to Blake. “Let’s get you to the nurse.” He soothed, helping the boy up.

“Dixon,” The man sighed, “My office. Now.”

Your body shook uncontrollably. There was no way Daryl was getting away with that. There was no way he wouldn’t get in trouble.

The pair of blue eyes you’d grown to know, to trust and to love stared at you with the same knowledge. Trying to keep your emotions under wrap, you pulled your textbooks closer to your chest. But your (Y/E/C) eyes still watered, a single tear slipping down your cheek.

The sight of your hurt face was too much. Daryl’s eyes ripped away from yours, feeling the imagine burn itself into his memories. Instead, he stared down to the dirty tiled floor, watching his feet as he moved farther from you.

Far enough that when he finally looked back, you were nothing but a blur.

-

The last thing you remembered of the Dixon boy was the sight of his dirty blonde hair disappearing behind the curve of the halls. You wished you remembered his eyes instead, or a rare smile of his -- but alas, the last sight you’d taken in of your childhood love was his back.

Daryl never showed up to graduation. No one spoke of him or his absence as if he’d never even gone to the school. You remembered Blake showing up with an odd looking bandage on his nose and a sheepish look on his face whenever you crossed paths.

There was nothing for you at the party afterwards, so you went home.

Your parents gave you flowers, cards and some cash. Fifty dollars, split into one twenty and three tens. They told you how sorry they were for missing your graduation, they claimed they couldn’t get the day off work.

You knew they could’ve. Both their bosses were quite flexible. But you needed the money, especially since you had been accepted into college. It was obvious that them missing the ceremony hit them harder than it did you. So you didn’t make it into a big deal. You were just happy they were there with you that night.

Two days after school had finished, you found yourself drifting down the road to his home. It was at the end of the street and as you grew closer, listening to the loud sound of gravel under your feet, you felt your stomach twist and turn.

Daryl never wanted you to come over. You’d asked to see the creek, and he’d gotten mad at you for coming that close. His father had learned through the few townsfolk who talked to him that Daryl and you were close. He teased Daryl about it, which only made the youngest Dixon fear for your safety.

He hated his father. You knew that by the way his eyes changed when someone mentioned his name. But Daryl would never admit it.

Still, you knew where it was. It was the infamous Dixon house after all.

The home was hidden behind some of the extended forest. The smell of motorcycle fuel and whiskey was strong, but as you pushed past that, you could smell the faint scent of the creek that traveled through their backyard. The small trickles of water could overcome the loud crashes and heavy voices -- if you really tried.

The town didn’t, not even the Dixons themselves. It seemed only you, at 18 years old, understood the hidden peacefulness of that home.

But that day, you couldn’t find a drop of calmness. Instead your mind went wild, making you run away.

You searched and searched for why you couldn’t just knock on the door. You knew something held you back, but what exactly, you were unsure of. Somewhere in the past ten years, it’d slipped your mind.

Tonight, you couldn’t help but feel anxious at the thought of Daryl being there -- at the reunion. The class of ‘86.

The navy blue dress was soft against your skin. It matched the tie, lying on top of the chair’s back. You could hear rustling coming from the bathroom, no doubt Alex trying to fix himself up beyond perfection.

Glancing across the cramped hotel room, you caught sight of the time -- five to six-thirty. Alex dashed out of the bathroom, pulling his tie from the chair and quickly putting it on. You watched him act at a pace that could’ve made you look like a sloth.

It didn’t take long to get to the school compared to the time it took to fly to your hometown. You couldn’t tell if the feeling in your gut was because you were anxious or about to vomit, maybe it was a combination of the two.

You could’ve sworn you’d closed your eyes for a small moment, just to let the wind brush through your hair and tickle your face, but by the time your eyes were open again, you had arrived.

The school looked the same. Even down to the placement of the bushes and trees, the building hadn’t changed at all. Roaming the halls brought back memories, some of which you’d wished hadn’t resurfaced.

Most of them were of Daryl.

A blonde woman sat at the long table, her back arched and a bright smile on her face. You felt her name at the tip of your tongue, something with an... A?

“Name?” The woman asked, engrossed in the list below her. She barely gave you a look as you approached her, Alex by your side. Clearly, she was busy.

“(Y/N) (Y/L/N) and he’s a plus one.” You smiled softly, answering.

After hearing your name, the woman’s eyes snapped up to you. It was then you noticed the same glimmer of cheer in her brown eyes. It was odd how the colour she often critiqued always seemed to shine the brightest for most.

Amanda, who was one of your closest friends in eleventh grade whispered, “(Y/N)-- holy shit.” Her words trailed off, following your body instead. The bottom of her lip slightly twitched, until a high pitched sequel followed, “You look fucking amazing!”

“Thank you.” You blushed profusely. Alex smirked at the shade of pink growing on your cheeks. “You do too!”

“Gosh, it’s been so long. Almost eleven years, right?”

A loud scoff left your lips, “Yeah. Shit, that’s,” You exhaled, “long.”

“No kidding.” Her blond strands of hair fell in her face while she shook her head. You smiled back at her, happy to see her again.

You weren’t sure why Amanda was there. She’d left for grade twelve to go to another city. Her father had been up for a promotion-- he got it. She was ecstatic about it, but you knew you’d have no one for your last year of high school -- except Daryl. Last you’d heard of her, she’d been accepted into an ivy-league school.

“Well, I won’t keep you.” She laughed, handing you a name tag as well as Alex. “We’ll catch up later, right?”

“Right. Nice to see you again, Amanda.”

“Shit,” You heard a low grumble from behind you. Your eyebrows reached up, questioning your fiancé. “Those cookies. They’re addicting.” He complained. As if he was a drug addict, itching for a hit, he fiddled around with his body. His foot tapped uncontrollably, fingers fiddling with each other.

The whole situation made you chuckle, “Just go get some more already.” You shooed him away, turning the suddenly childish man and giving him a weak push forward. He sighed, but gave into his temptations.

“Get me some too!” You yelled after him. Your words hit his ears, which made him raise a thumbs up in response. A soft chuckle left your lips before you turned back around.

Before you could stop yourself, you’d smacked into a warm force and lost your balance. Your ankles shook, the high heels wobbling underneath your weight, but you never hit the ground.

The warmth you’d crashed into engulfed you. It felt so inviting, so much like home that you chuckled, “Oh, sorry--”, looking at your hand placed on their chest. It was mostly firm, but had a small amount of squish to it. You thought next to nothing of the encounter.

But when you looked up, peaking through your eyelashes all you saw was a pair of piercing blue eyes. They were older, more mature, but still held a certain sparkle that was undeniably familiar.

“Daryl?”
