Dreamers of Myths & Legends Chap.9-Scorbunny: The Wild Child

Here is the next chapter and Part 2 of the Galar Story. I’ve been on a Pokemon kick lately and have been setting up future chapters for this AU. I have scripts up to Chapter 14, but I’ve been focused on other fanfics and work to set them up properly. Also I’d rather take things one step at a time, but I’m excited for these chapters to drop.

Big thanks to my beta reader @gigilefache

Enjoy!

Danica was in the kitchen preparing the vegetables for lunch while her Lillipup and Yamper were playing around nearby. Until that is, the three heard calls from her son.

“Mom! Mom! We have an emergency!” Lewis yelled, as he came through the door.

Danica left the kitchen and ran to Lewis, hugging her son tight. “What happened? Did you get hurt by a wild Pokemon? Fell and scraped your knee?” Danica was frantically asking questions if her son got hurt while Lewis muffled and tried to pull away from his mom’s embrace.

“No mom!” Lewis muffled, as he gently pushed her away. “It’s not me, but Sara’s Skiddo.”

Danica and Lewis turned to Sara holding Skiddo’s Pokeball. Her Piplup stood by her as he rubbed her leg for comfort. Wiatt and Oliver approached, both also worried for the young girl.

“What happened?” Danica asked.

“We ran into a Scorbunny and it attacked Skiddo.” Oliver answered.

Danica frowned and walked over to Sara. “Sara, could you send out your Skiddo?” She asked, causing the young girl to look up. “I just want to see her injuries.”

Sara nodded, and opened up Skiddo’s Pokeball. Once Skiddo was out, she looked exhausted, still in pain from the injuries from the burn she suffered.

Danica kneeled down and looked at the Mount Pokémon. “She looks burnt,” she said. “Lewis, get my medical kit.”

Lewis nodded and went to another room to grab the medical kit. As he was grabbing the kit, Danica checked Skiddo’s injuries again and remembered mentio's remark.

“Oliver, did you mention a Scorbunny did this?” Danica asked.

Oliver looked at the older woman and nodded.

Danica sighed, “not again.”

“Wait, mom you know about the Scorbunny?” Lewis asked, as he came in with the medical kit.

Danica nodded. Not a moment too soon, she started to treat Skiddo as she simultaneously ready to tell the story too her son and his friends. The four sat down listening to the older woman. “Scorbunny is well known in the Wild Area. I met him a month after you left on your journey Lewis.”

Flashback: 1 Month after Lewis left for Kanto

“I found him after releasing the Rookiedee and Nickit we took care of before you left.”

After Danica released the two Pokemon, she heard the grunts of pain coming from behind the bushes. She turned around and saw Scorbunny limping and covered in bruises. Danica was horrified and went over to the fire-type Pokemon.

“Who did this to you?” Danica asked.

Scorbunny turned away, but flinched at the pain he was in.

Carefully, Danica held him and took him back to her house to get the Rabbit Pokemon treated. At home, she bandaged up the fire-type Pokemon and saw him glare at the window. 

“I treated for his injuries back home, but I wondered what kind of battles this Scorbunny was getting into.” Danica explained. “After this Scorbunny would come back injured, and soon many Pokemon in the Wild Area were injured thanks to Scorbunny.”

Danica was picking berries and saw an injured Nickit, Wingull and Bunnelby. She went over to the three Pokemon before hearing Scorbunny laugh. She looked over at him as the fire-type Pokemon smirked and ran off, eating a berry.

Flashback ends:

“So, Scorbunny has been getting into fights with Pokemon?” Oliver asked.

Danica nodded, “yes, I wonder if the Pokemon who gave him the injuries the first time we met sparked his attitude.” She wondered, as she finished bandaging up Skiddo.

“It’s possible.” Wiatt replied. He then looked at Oddity, “I wonder if the noises we heard earlier were Scorbunny intimidating him.”

“Eevee.” Oddity agreed.

Danica smiled seeing Skiddo was done being treated. “There. Sara, your Skiddo is going to be just fine.”

Sara smiled and got up as she went over to her Pokemon. The Mount Pokemon bleated happily as Sara hugged her tight. “Oh I’m glad you're okay!” Sara beamed.

Skiddo bleated in reply as she licked her trainer’s face, causing her to laugh.

Lewis and Wiatt smiled, but saw Oliver frowning. “Oliver.” Wiatt started.

“Are you okay darling?” Lewis asked.

The taller boy did not respond, as he was thinking about Scorbunny. He wondered why the Pokémon acted so violently, and if the fire-type wasn’t going to tell him, he’ll find a way, nicely. Oliver got up and went over to the kitchen and picked up an Oran Berry they collected earlier. He then walked towards the door.

“Where are you going?” Wiatt asked.

“I’m going to find Scorbunny.” Oliver replied.

The group looked shocked, but Sara was angry that Oliver wanted to give that mischievous Pokemon a chance. “After what Scorbunny did to my Skiddo, you want to become friends with it?” She asked, growling a bit.

Oliver glared back, “yes, I need to know why Scorbunny acts like this.” Oliver opened the door and stepped out, but before he left he glanced back at his friends. “Besides, I’m the only one who doesn’t have a Pokemon yet.” Oliver then left the house as everyone looked at each other.

Back at the Wild Area, Scorbunny had three pebbles beside him ready to kick towards an Apple tree. He kicked one, which only swung the apples in the tree back and forth. The second one he kicked hit an apple, but still it didn’t fall. The final pebble, Scorbunny kicked hard enough, causing his Ember attack to activate and burning the apple to the crisp.

Scorbunny sighed seeing he wouldn’t get to enjoy an apple after all.

“Scorbunny!” Oliver yelled.

“Scor?” Scorbunny asked as he turned around and saw the taller boy. The Rabbit Pokemon glared at him and growled, “Scorbun…”

“Scorbunny wait. I’m not here to fight you.” Oliver reassured him.

Scorbunny continued to growl and started to walk towards him. Oliver didn’t step back, and quickly grabbed the Oran Berry from his pocket, causing Scorbunny to stop and stare at the boy.

“See, I’m just trying to be nice.” Oliver said. “I know what you did with Sara’s Skiddo was wrong, but I want to understand why you did that.”

Scorbunny cautiously walked towards the taller boy, but didn’t take the berry. “Scorbunny,” he said.

“It’s alright, you can take it.” Oliver reassured him. “I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to talk to you.”

Scorbunny narrowed his eyes and grabbed the berry and took a bite out of it. He turned away as he ate the berry.

Oliver smiled and sat next to Scorbunny, “now, I need to know why you did what you did.”

Scorbunny took a glance at Oliver, continuing to eat the berry. He didn’t respond, and turned away.

Oliver frowned, and remembered what Danica said about Scorbunny. “Did someone hurt you?” He asked.

Scorbunny’s eyes widened, and nodded.

“I’m sorry that happened to you, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to hurt other Pokemon.” Oliver said.

“Scorbun.” Scorbunny groaned.

Oliver sighed, “listen. I’m offering to be your friend Scorbunny.”

“Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed, turning to Oliver. He wasn’t sure if the taller boy was telling the truth, but in reality Scorbunny was lonely, and loved the idea of companionship.

Oliver looked into Scorbunny’s eyes and sighed. He went into his pocket and pulled out a photo. “You know, you remind me a lot of my younger brother.”

Scorbunny turned to see a photo of a young boy and girl who appeared to be twins. “Scorbun.” Scorbunny said, pointing at the boy.

Oliver nodded and chuckled, “yeah you're both stubborn and pranksters.”

The fire type glared and puffed up his cheeks, which made Oliver laugh.

“Yep, your most definitely like Ben.”

Scorbunny sighed, and smiled and the tall boy. He thought to himself and saw Oliver wasn’t so bad. He was pretty cool. Plus he did give him a berry. Suddenly, the fire-type’s ear twitched, hearing something in the distance. “Score! Scorbun!” Scorbunny exclaimed.

“What’s wrong Scorbunny?” Oliver asked.

Scorbunny looked around as his ear continued to twitch. He immediately ran to where the commotion was going on. Oliver put the photo back into his pocket, and followed behind. after a bit of running the two were horrified at what they saw. Two Rookiedee, a Wooper, and a Minccino were caught in a net and was dragged through the bushes.

Angry at whoever was doing this, Oliver and Scorbunny looked at each other and nodded as they went through the bushes. Oliver gasped and stopped the fire-type from getting further. “Scor?” Scorbunny asked.

“Shh.” Oliver shushed Scorbunny as the two saw who stole the Pokemon; Team Rocket.

Meowth laughed as the captured Pokemon were put inside the back of an Ariados robot. “See, I told you our Robo-Ariados can shoot nets up to miles away and store them safe and sound until we see the boss.” He explained. Inside the robot, there were many Pokemon including the ones just captured inside shaking in fear.

“Brilliant Meowth!” Jessie exclaimed. “Shall we stop for today and get going?”

Meowth smile proudly, “we can take a break once we find the twerps’ Pokemon.”

Oliver growled and glared at that claim.

James, however, was concerned about the idea, “are you sure about that Meowth?” He asked. “We’ll get caught if we keep sneaking around stealing Pokemon.”

“Nah, don’t worry!” Meowth reassured his friend.

Jessie then spoke up, “May I remind you, were in the Wild Area. If we get caught here, we can just go to another part of the Wild Area. We hide, steal more Pokemon, rinse and repeat!”

James thought about it for a second, before liking the idea, “I guess that doesn’t sound too bad.”

“Not only that it will show the whole of Team Rocket that we’re not a bunch of quitters!” Meowth exclaimed.

“Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffett exclaimed as well.

“Team Rocket!” Oliver yelled, coming out of the bushes.

Team Rocket stopped and turned to see the taller boy and Scorbunny glaring at them. “Release those Pokemon now!”

“Scorbunny! Scorbun!” Scorbunny yelled.

Team Rocket chuckled before getting into their motto. “Prepare for trouble twerp, you're a bit late!” Jessie started.

“And make it double, while we instigate!” James exclaimed.

“To protect the world from devastation!” Jessie continued.

“To unite all peoples within our nation.” James continued.

“To denounce the evils of truth and love.”

“To extend our reach to the stars above.”

“Jessie!”

“James!”

As Team Rocket continued their motto, Scorbunny yawned. He looked down at the pebble and looked up at Team Rocket with a smirk. “Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed, kicking a pebble at Meowth before he could finish his part of the motto.

“Meowth, that’s-ah!” He screamed being knocked to the ground.

“Wobbuffet?” Wobbufett asked.

Meowth got up, now with a bump on his head. “Hey, don’t just kick rocks at me while we do the motto, Long Ears!” He yelled.

“Scorbunny! Scorbun bun.” Scorbunny replied.

Meowth gasped, putting his hand to his chest as he was offended at what he was just told. “I can’t believe you said that!”

“What did he say?” Jessie asked.

“He called our motto ridiculous.” Meowth cried.

Jessie and James dramatically gasped. “How dare you insult our motto?!” Jessie exclaimed.

“We’ve been doing this motto for a long time with new revisions!” James added.

Scorbunny yawned in reply.

“Don’t just yawn and ignore us!” Jessie yelled.

“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny said.

Meowth growled, “I don’t care if you lived here longer, we won’t be sass-talked by a twerp!”

“Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied. “Scor.”

The Scratch Cat Pokemon gasped hearing Scorbunny just insult him causing him to burst into flames. “That’s it!” Meowth yelled. “Jessie, James get your Pokemon out and lets teach this twerp a lesson!”

“Fine by me!” Jessie replied. “Go, Seviper!” Jessie threw her Pokeball and out came her Seviper.

Seviper hissed upon coming out of their Pokeball.

“Inkay, let’s go!” James yelled as he sent out his Pokemon.

“Inkay!” Inkay beamed.

Oliver realized he was out numbered, but heard Scorbunny call out to him. “Scorbunny!”

“Huh?” Oliver asked.

“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied, reassuring the taller boy that he could battle these two on his own.

Oliver nodded, putting his trust in the Rabbit Pokemon. “Alright, let’s do this.” Oliver said, ready to battle Team Rocket.

“Scorbun.” Scorbunny said.

“Seviper use Bite!” Jessie commanded.

Seviper hissed as they made their way towards Scorbunny.

“Dodge it, Scorbunny!” Oliver commanded.

Scorbunny jumped upwards, missing the Fang Snake Pokémon. The latter kept trying to catch the fire-type Pokemon, but Scorbunny was just too fast for them.

“Inkay, use Psybeam!” James commanded.

“Inkay!” Inkay shrieked as he used his head to launch Psybeam at Scorbunny.

The fire-type missed the attack, and the Psybeam hit Seviper. The poison-type Pokemon hissed in pain as the psychic attack caused major damage on them.

“Seviper, catch that brat with your Poison Tail!” Jessie commanded.

“Sev…iper!” Seviper shouted as their tail started to glow purple and was ready to swing it on Scorbunny.

“Dodge it, quick!” Oliver commanded.

Scorbunny jumped up again missing the attack, however the attack hit Inkay.

“Inkay!” Inkay screamed in pain.

“Inkay, no!” James yelled.

Inkay crashed into the ground, injured from the attack.

Scorbunny landed on the ground as he rubbed his nose and gave a confident smile.

“Wow.” Oliver commented, blinking in surprise. “Your good at this Scorbunny.”

“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied.

Seviper then came from behind Scorbunny, and the fire-type didn’t notice it.

“Scorbunny, look out!” Oliver shouted.

Scorbunny turned to see Seviper trying to grab him. He tried to jump to miss the attack, but Seviper quickly snatched Scorbunny and held him tight. The fire-type struggled to break free from Seviper’s grasp.

Team Rocket laughed, happy that they captured the fire-type Pokemon.

“Let him go Team Rocket!” Oliver yelled.

“For being a smart mouth to Team Rocket, and being a twerp? No way!” Meowth yelled.

Oliver growled, trying to figure out what to do. He had no other Pokemon, and Wiatt and the others were still at Lewis’s house.

“Eevee!”

Oliver gasped, hearing a call of an Eevee. A familiar Eevee to be exact.

Suddenly, a Shadow Ball appeared and hit Seviper, causing them to let go of Scorbunny. The fire-type landed with ease, shocked that he was saved.

“Oliver!”

Oliver turned around and saw his friends and their Pokemon ready to join the fight. “You guys made it!” He yelled.

“Hey, we saw what was going on, darling.” Lewis started.

“Meow.” Sprigatito added.

“We’re not missing out on taking down Team Rocket!” Wiatt exclaimed.

“Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed as well.

Scorbunny was shocked to see everyone else help him and Oliver. He then felt vines help him up, which belonged to Skiddo. He was surprised that out of everyone, Skiddo was willing to forgive and help him to his feet.

Skiddo belatedly tells Scorbunny I'm a language only pokemon could understand that despite him being a jerk, she forgives him, but only a little bit.

Scorbunny chuckled in reply. He then looked to see Oddity and Sprigatito who stood beside him and Skiddo preparing to battle Team Rocket.

Jessie, James  and their Pokemon look horrified seeing they were unmatched four to two.

“Well, this is going to be fun.” Meowth said.

“How come, Meowth?” James asked as he and Jessie looked down at their small friend.

“We defeat them, and we steal their Pokemon, too.” Meowth answered.

Jessie and James smiled hearing the idea. “Now that cheered me up!” Jessie exclaimed.

“Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffet exclaimed.

“Oddity, use Shadow Ball on Inkay!” Wiatt commanded.

“Sprigatito, use Leafage on Seviper!” Lewis commanded.

The two heroic Pokemon used their attacks on the two evil Pokemon, dealing massive damage. However, the opposition still stood strong.

“Seviper, use Poison Tail!” Jessie commanded.

“Inkay, use Foul Play!” James commanded.

Seviper’s tail glowed purple, ready to swing it at Sprigatito while Inkay was attempting to grab Oddity.

“Skiddo, grab the Pokemon with Vine Whip!” Sara commanded.

Skiddo bleated as a pair of vines came from her neck as she grabbed Seviper and Inkay before swinging them and throwing them at Meowth. The three Pokemon were then thrown at the machine chest where the Pokemon were stored, causing it to crack.

“Alright, Scorbunny, use Ember!” Oliver commanded.

“Scor!” Scorbunny yelled. The fire type Pokemon used a pebble and kicked it around until it burst into flames. The Ember attack hit the machine, cracking it even more.

“Okay, Scorbunny, use Quick Attack!” Oliver commanded 

“Use Quick Attack too Oddity!” Wiatt added.

“Skiddo, help out with Take Down!” Sara added as well.

The three Pokemon ran, and at the same time, rammed into the machine, breaking it into many pieces. The Pokemon flooded out and quickly ran or flew away from the machine.

Team Rocket were in shock seeing all their captured Pokemon get away. “All our hard work is escaping!” Jessie exclaimed.

“Quick, let’s hop in the Robo-Ariados and catch them back!” Meowth exclaimed.

“Right.” Team Rocket replied.

The trio and their Pokemon bounced inside the robot as it started to move. Wiatt and his friends stepped back when the robot pointed right at them and their Pokemon. Team Rocket laughed, safe inside their machine.

“Alright, time to grab us some Pokemon!” Meowth yelled, as he pressed a button.

The Robo-Ariados formed a net on its spinneret ready to capture Oddity and the other Pokemon.

Scorbunny turned to his new friends in horror, then glared at Team Rocket. Scorbunny looked around and saw a rock and smirked. He sprinted towards the rock as his feet started to fire up, then he skid and kicked the rock as hard as he could, hitting the net of the robot and causing the net to burn to a crisp, an action that caused the robot to burst into flames. Team Rocket shouted in pain, “Hot! Hot! Hot!” as bits and pieces of the robot started to break off.

Scorbunny tried to run and dodge all of the falling debris, only to trip and fall. He turned and saw his foot was caught in the trap Team Rocket made. Oliver gasped seeing Scorbunny trapped as Team Rocket’s mecha was ready to blow.

“Scorbunny!” Oliver yelled.

Scorbunny struggled to break free. Team Rocket’s machine started to spark and blow smoke.

“If we don’t hurry, Scorbunny is going to get caught in the blast!” Wiatt exclaimed.

Oliver frantically thought of what to do, and his eyes widened as an idea came to mind. He went into his fanny pack and took out an unused Pokeball, “Okay, go Pokeball!” Oliver yelled as he threw the Pokeball towards Scorbunny. The Pokeball hits Scorbunny and opens, putting the fire-type inside as Team Rocket’s machine exploded. The Dream Quartet braced themselves from the blast.

Team Rocket now charred and defeated were being blasted to the sky. “Team Rocket’s blasting off again!” They yelled as they blasted off into the sky as a star twinkled.

The blast finally cleared away, and the Dream Quartet uncovered their eyes and looked up from the smoke. “Everyone okay?” Lewis asked.

“I'm fine.” Sara replied.

“Same here.” Wiatt added.

Lewis and his friends turned to Oliver, who stared at the Pokeball shaking on the ground. His friends faced the Pokeball too as a click was heard, successfully capturing Scorbunny. 

Oliver was surprised and went over to the Pokeball. He picked it up and gave a smile. Oliver threw the Pokeball in the air, “come on out!” 

The Pokeball opened and Scorbunny came out. He looked around, shocked he didn’t blow up into smithereens or blast off with Team Rocket.

“Are you okay, Scorbunny?” Oliver asked, concerned for the fire-type.

“Scorbunny?” Scorbunny asked. The fire-type looked at the taller boy and saw his expression. The Rabbit Pokemon looked at himself and saw not a scratch on him, which made him smile and put his paws on his hips proudly. “Scorbunny!”

Oliver sighed, seeing Scorbunny was okay. “Thank goodness.” He said. He walked closer and kneeled to the fire-type’s level. “That was cool what you did there.”

“Scorbun?” Scorbunny asked, tilting his head confused.

“Saving the Pokemon and stopping Team Rocket. You’re a troublemaker, but you're not a bad Pokemon.” 

Scorbunny’s eyes widened and teared up at the words Oliver said to him. He sniffled and wiped his eyes as Scorbunny jumped into Oliver’s arms calling out to him.

Oliver caught him and hugged the fire-type tight. He chuckled before letting go, “we’re going to be a great team.”

“Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed. However, his stomach started to rumble, causing him to laugh in embarrassment.

Oliver chuckled, “guess you're getting hungry?” He asked.

Scorbunny nodded in reply as his stomach rumbled again, making him embarrassed.

“Well we better head back to your house Lewis.” Oliver said, turning to his friend.

Lewis nodded, “luckily, we got all the ingredients needed and my mom started cooking when we left.” He explained. “It should be done now.”

“Well what are we waiting for?” Sara asked. “Come on, let’s eat!”

The group got excited as they ran to Lewis’s house to enjoy their late lunch. Upon arriving to the house, the smell of curry filled the room as Lewis and his mother cooked the meal together. Other than the curry, there were also some side dishes like bread and vegetables. “It smells so good.” Sara commented.

“I can’t wait to taste it.” Wiatt said, his mouth drooling a bit over how good the food smelled.

Lewis chuckled, “it’s almost done darling.”

Wiatt, Sara Oliver, and their Pokémon got excited. Soon, the timer rang and Lewis smiled knowing the food was done.

“Alright. It’s ready!” Danica exclaimed.

She turned off the heat and then put curry on a few plates with some rice. Lewis and his mom served everyone their plate, and for their Pokémon, special bowls of curry for them to try. Lewis’s friends eyes sparkled and widened at how good the food looked, and were excited to try it.

Lewis sat down between Wiatt and Sara and scooped up some curry in a spoon. “Well, dig in guys.” He said, as he took a bite.

Wiatt, Sara, and Oliver each took a bite of the curry, as did their Pokemon. However, as they kept eating, the trio started to sweat as their faces turned red. “H-Hot.” Wiatt coughed out.

Lewis who swallowed his didn’t feel the heat kick in, “it doesn’t taste that hot, darling.” He said, eating more.

“I-It’s not!” Sara coughed out. “This thing is burning my mouth!”

The group’s Pokemon except Oddity and Scorbunny were in pain from how spicy the curry was.

Danica took a bite out of the curry and chuckled as her face turned a bit red. “It’s spicy, but it actually tastes good.” She commented.

“H-How is it so…spicy?” Oliver asked, as he struggled to swallow the curry. He then heard a chuckle and looked down at Scorbunny, who ate the curry like it was nothing. Oliver glared, “Scorbunny, did you do something with the curry?”

Scorbunny smirked and pulled out a Tomato Berry.

“D-Did you add extra Tomato Berries to the curry?!” Oliver yelled.

“Scorbun.” Scorbunny replied, winking.

The group continued to cough and complain over how spicy the curry was, simultaneously scolding Scorbunny. The fire-type snickered as he took a big bite of his curry, and took joy thinking about how he would  enjoy his new life with his new friends.

Making a brand new master post for the blog.

WTDW: Pokémon AU Dreamers of Myths and Legends BTS

Hi guys! NOT a new chapter, but I was bored and watched videos of "leaks" about Pokémon ZA and other news for Pokémon Day that I decided to share some behind the scenes like cut stuff and lore. I figured this would be an interesting post while you guys wait for the next chapter!

Here is some interesting Fun Facts:

When I was planning for the starters for the Founder Trio, I wanted them to have the Hissuian Starters. However, I changed my mind last minute and gave them their own starters, mainly Starter Pokémon I liked.

Oliver was supposed to have a Torchic that would constantly peck everyone out of anger, but I changed it to Scorbunny since clips of Scorbunny in the anime, I figured Scorbunny was a perfect match for Oliver.

Prior to Piplup's debut. I did want to give Sara an Oshawott since Sara is my favorite character and Oshawott is my favorite Pokémon. Decided on Piplup because Dawn's Piplup in the anime and how I wanted to wait until we got the Legends ZA starters.

Speaking of, when Pokémon Legends ZA was revealed I wanted to give those sets of starters to Pen, Audrey, and Hayden. However, while working on the ideas for future chapters and no news of ZA I decided to give the Minimum Wage Trio ( @saltyr3mix gave them that name) the Hissuian Starters.

I still plan on using the ZA Starters, but that's unclear at this time.

The series takes place 3-4 years after Ash's adventure in the anime. It's unclear if Horizons is connected with Ash's journal, but if it is, all the stuff in Horizons is taking place WHILE Wiatt and his friends are doing their journey.

Team Rocket was planned last minute as a joke. I needed some villains for Wiatt and his friends to block their way, but Litho and Carlos are too serious to appear and cause trouble, so I thought...what if Team Rocket came back! BEST decision I ever made!

Now here is some planned content. I wanted this in a separate post, but because this is planned and it could be cut I figured sharing it on here.

I have a plot on how Ash would meet Wiatt and his friends. I'm still planning on what Ash has been doing since he left the spotlight, but he has aged up being 14-15 years old now and many of his Pokémon have evolved.

I do also plan for Wiatt and his friends to meet Liko, Roy, Dot, and the rest of the Brave Olivine. However, I'm debating if it should take place during the Japanese airings or just the English airings. Since the Japanese airings a TON of stuff came out.

And that's it for the random Behind the scenes lore and content! I was just bored and need to finish up a chapter of a fanfic, but I figured working on this for the time being.

Magia Chap.14- The Truth Hurts

OMG! THIS was the HARDEST chapter to work on! So I had an idea for this chapter since I started working on Soul Gem AU, and it jumped around from being removed, to moving to Arc 2, and back to Arc 1. 

However, one calm day at work gave me an idea to put this idea to full use and now it’s here in all its glory. When my job is slow is when my brain starts giving me ideas on what to write and I jot it down in a notebook and put it on my documents for later (even though there are some ideas I haven’t put into documents yet.)

Big thanks to @gigilefache for beta reading!

Enjoy!

While Lewis and Sara were searching for their weapons and testing them, Wiatt watched them from a distance and felt a small pang of jealousy. He was ready to walk back before he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Wiatt took the phone out and saw he got a text from an unknown number.

Meet me at the Arcadescape, asap!

Wiatt read the message before typing back:

Who is this?

As Wiatt waited for the reply he wondered if this was Damien or Oliver, and that Lewis possibly gave one of them his number to text him any updates. After waiting a few minutes, he sighed and decided to go up to the Arcadescape and meet with whoever sent him the text.

Once at Arcadescape, Wiatt looked around until he heard metal walking towards him. He gasped as his eyes turned yellow as a shield formed in his hand as a claw tried to strike him down.

“I see you got my message.” Winnie said, an evil smirk showing his fangs.

“What do you want, Winnie?” Wiatt asked, growling at the Pegasus animatronic. He pushed Winnie away, but Winnie came in and tried to claw him.

“What? Can't I say hi to my grandson?” Winnie asked.

Wiatt’s eyes widened as his shield flickered, giving Winnie the chance to punch the young boy, knocking him to the ground. Wiatt struggled to get up as Winnie loomed over him.

“No. Y-You can’t be.” Wiatt struggled to say. “You can’t be Carlos!”

Winnie/Carlos chuckled, circling Wiatt like he was pray for a hungry predator. “Oh but I am, and if you want proof, your father is Owen, if I am not mistaken?”

Wiatt glared, as he launched a shield at Winnie pushing him to the wall. “Anyone could have that info, you're lying to me.” He growled as he got up.

Winnie got up and chuckled, “you think I’m lying.” Wiatt glared as he got another shield ready. “I can tell you everything I know about our family.”

Wiatt growled and threw another shield at Winnie, who missed it with ease.

“Like how your dad left you to follow my footsteps.” Winnie said.

This caused Wiatt to create another shield and threw it at Winnie, who missed the attack once more.

“Or how the reason I left the family was because I wanted to bring back your grandmother, Lucy.”

Wiatt threw shield after shield, but Winnie dodged them with ease as he told the young boy even more stuff about his family. This got Wiatt angry, as he tried to unleash one last shield attack towards the Pegasus animatronic.

“You want more proof huh?” Winnie asked. “Well, where did you find those gems?”

“They were found in my grandfather’s manor.” Wiatt answered.

Winnie chuckled, “and did you question how it got there?”

Wiatt’s shield faded as his eyes went back to brown. “Well no. I don’t know!”

“Well, it was a family heirloom given to my family from my grandfather.” Winnie explained.

Wiatt’s eyes widened realizing Winnie was telling the truth. He didn’t know how the box got there in the first place, but Winnie revealed it, confirming he was indeed Wiatt’s grandfather.

“Y-You really are Carlos Nicholson.” Wiatt whispered.

Winnie nodded, “though I don’t really like being called that name, just call me Winnie… or grandfather.”

Wiatt then unleashed another shield as he glared at the Pegasus animatronic. His eyes were yellow once again, but Winnie saw something was different about it. They weren’t glowing brightly, but looked dull in color.

“Although,” Winnie spoked up causing Wiatt to look up. “There was someone who knew about this.”

“Who?” Wiatt asked.

An evil smirk appeared in Winnie’s face as he ushered the young boy to follow him. Wiatt followed his animatronic grandfather, but got his shield ready incase this was a trap. Winnie led Wiatt to Sara’s office.

“Wait…Sara knew?” Wiatt asked, supprised.

Winnie nodded, “this girl keeps lots of secrets, not just from you, but her friends as well.” He explained, opening Sara’s drawer.

Wiatt’s eyes widened as he looked at all the papers that were in the female’s founder’s desk. From newspaper articles to notes about her plans with Litho.

Three Kids Gone Missing after Forest Fire!

Bodies of Missing Kids Found!

How to Create Immortality?

How to put souls in animatronics?

Wiatt’s eyes scanned through each and every article Sara had in her desk looking in disbelief. “Sara planned on killing someone?” He asked.

“Well it’s not the first time.��� Winnie replied.

“What?!” Wiatt exclaimed.

Winnie gasped, “oh right.” He smirked. “Sara never told you or friends she killed three children.”

“She what?!”

“Now it wasn’t recently, it was years ago, but she told me she would never reveal that to anyone. Especially her best friends.”

Wiatt was in disbelief, but knew from the start Sara was not to be trusted. What’s worse, Sara has powers and is potentially putting everyone in danger. Wiatt dropped the papers and marched over to Staract to confront his boyfriend and the murderer.

Once Wiatt arrived at Staract, Lewis and Sara were making their way out, but stopped seeing him, glaring at them.

“Darling, Aae you okay?” Lewis asked.

Wiatt glared, his eyes turning a dark yellow, “why did you lie to me, Sara?” He growled.

Sara took a step back, confused as to what Wiatt meant, “W-What do you mean?”

Wiatt growled and raised his hand, letting out a shield as he threw it at Sara, pushing her into the wall. He then pushed the shield even more, putting pressure on her chest and causing her to not move or breathe.

“W-Wiatt stop!” Lewis yelled.

Wiatt wasn’t listening and kept pushing the shield tighter on Sara. “Why didn’t you tell me about my grandfather being a murderer!” Wiatt yelled.

“Aha! I-I wasn’t trying to-gah!” Sara choked out. She couldn’t breathe with Wiatt’s shield putting pressure on her chest.

“Darling, stop!” Lewis yelled, putting his hands on Wiatt’s shoulder. “Y-You're going to kill her!” Wiatt shoved his boyfriend off, which shocked him. “Wiatt, why are you doing this?!”

“Lewis! Sara’s been keeping secrets from us! I knew she couldn’t be trusted!” Wiatt growled. “My grandfather’s been Winnie this whole time, and she fucking knew it!”

Lewis gasped and turned to Sara. “Is that true, darling?” 

Sara started to turn blue, as she nodded. “I-I didn’t mean to ke-keep it from y-you.” She choked out. “I-I did p-plan on t-telling-ack you.”

Seeing his best friend suffocate he turned to Wiatt. “Darling, please stop! Sara can explain everything to you, there’s no need to suffocate her to get the answers you want!”

Wiatt turned to his boyfriend, then to the girl that was ready to pass out. As much as he wanted to see Sara suffer, he removed the shield and stepped back. Sara took a deep breath and coughed trying to breathe again.

She looked up and saw Wiatt glaring at her. Sara looked down and once she was able to breathe again she was able to talk. “Like I said before, yes I knew Winnie was your grandfather, but I found that out when you arrived.”

“Go on.” Wiatt said, still glaring.

“I didn't believe it at first, but after what Winnie told me about the box. It came to me that you and Winnie were connected!” Sara explained. “It wasn’t until I cut Litho and Winnie off that I ended up looking into it and it clicked!”

Wiatt loosened his glare, “but you still kept secrets from us! Such as you killing children!”

Sara’s eyes widened and looked down. Lewis frowned and turned to Wiatt, wondering if he should say something.

“I had a reason why I did that, I was badly bullied by those kids.” Sara replied.

“That gives you no excuse to kill them!” Wiatt yelled, causing Sara to flinch.

“Darling, she was scared! She didn’t mean for it to happen!” Lewis yelled, before covering his mouth with his hands.

Wiatt stared at his boyfriend with horror that he knew. “Y-You knew?” He whispered.

Lewis nodded, “Sara told me the night Eric and her were in the house fire, and she asked me not to tell anyone.” He explained.

Wiatt growled as he unleashed a shield in his hand and launched it at Sara again knocking her out.

“Sara!” Lewis yelled. He quickly turned to his boyfriend, “Wiatt, stop!” He then squeaked as Wiatt pointed a shield at his boyfriend’s chest. Lewis stepped back, but Wiatt walked closer at him glaring as his eyes turned darker.

“Your telling me she told you and you didn’t tell me?!” Wiatt yelled.

“I didn’t want to tell you because I know you don’t trust Sara, and I figured Sara would tell you and Oliver when she was ready.” Lewis explained.

Wiatt growled, he was ready to attack Lewis but suddenly a blast of electricity, making his shield disappear. The two turned to see it was Oliver attacking Wiatt, but he seemed anxious to doing so.

“Wiatt, what’s going on?” Oliver asked, looking scared at his friend.

Wiatt growled, ready to attack Oliver, but Lewis held him back before he could attack another of his friends. “No! You're not hurting him!” Lewis yelled.

“Lewis let go!” Wiatt yelled.

“No! I’m not letting you hurt another of our friends!” Lewis shouted back.

Oliver looked horrified, ready to use his powers if needed.

Sara slowly opened her eyes and looked up to see Lewis trying to stop and calm Wiatt. In the other corner of her eye she saw Oliver, as his hands had electricity coming out from them.

Lewis struggled trying to stop Wiatt, and ended up gripping his shoulders tight, causing him to look up. “Why are you acting like this, darling? You’d never act like this, especially towards my friends!”

Wiatt growled, “you know why I’m acting like this?” He asked. “I’m fucking jealous! Okay? Are you happy Lewis!”

The other boy’s eyes widened, loosening his grip on his boyfriend’s shoulder. “J-Jealous?” Lewis didn’t notice, but his eyes turned blue as his hands started to glow.

“I wasn’t jealous back in high school, but after you left it’s like you’ve bonded with your friends so much that I’m just pushed to the side now.” Wiatt said, slowly calming down.

Lewis frowned when Wiatt said that. “I’m sorry, darling.” He then heard his boyfriend sniffle, and looked to see tears falling from his eyes.

“It hurt.” Wiatt said. “It hurt when you left me and I couldn’t go with you. I hoped the phone calls and text we did every week would help, but no it didn’t. It made me miss you more Lewis.” Wiatt wiped the tears from his eyes before continuing. “I-I didn’t want to tell you, because I don’t want you to think I was taking you away from them, they’re your friends Lewis and I respect that, but I just missed you so much to where I feel jealous and it felt wrong!”

Wiatt put his face on Lewis’s chest and started to sob. Lewis rubbed Wiatt’s back. “There, there, darling. It’s alright.” Lewis whispered. “It doesn’t feel wrong, I know I’ve been closer to my friends, but that doesn’t mean I’ll separate from you or forget about you.”

Wiatt lifted his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. Lewis saw his eyes were back to its normal brown color, giving him a small smile. 

“I do love you, darling, and I’m sorry I left you for so long.” Lewis said, his eyes glowing a bright blue.

Wiatt sniffled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “I forgive you.” He replied.

Seeing Wiatt has calmed down, Oliver loosened his powers and went over to check on Sara, who was struggling to get up.

“Are you okay?” Oliver asked.

Sara gave a nod, “I’m fine.” She replied.

Oliver sighed in relief as he helped Sara up. The two went over to Wiatt and Lewis. To their surprise they saw Lewis’s healing powers had activated.

“Uh Lewis.” Oliver whispered, as he pointed to his friend’s hands.

Lewis looked and saw his healing powers activated, surprising him. “But how? I thought I can only heal physical injuries?” 

“I guess your heal and calm someone down if desired.” Sara pointed out.

Lewis looked at his hands shocked he was able to have Wiatt open up his feelings. Had his powers not activated, Wiatt would’ve held it in, and it would be a lot worse then what he just did.

Wiatt sighed and turned to Sara and Oliver, “I’m sorry for being jealous of both of you. You cared for Lewis and I feel awful for being jealous.”

“I forgive you, Wiatt.” Oliver replied.

Wiatt smiled before turning to Sara, who tried to speak. At first she was nervous.

“I’m sorry too.” Sara let out. Wiatt looked up at the female founder, “I should’ve told you the truth when I had the chance.”

“It’s alright.” Wiatt replied with a smile. “I accept your apology.”

“I accept yours too.” Sara replied, smiling back. Seeing the two had buried the hatchet, Sara quickly hugged Wiatt, which surprised him. He looked at Lewis and Oliver, who just smiled.

“This is her way of being friendly, darling, just take it.” Lewis mouthed.

Wiatt nodded and hugged Sara back. At that moment Sara’s eyes turned pink as her powers activated again. “A-Again?” She asked.

Sara was sent back to the past and saw Clara standing at the front entrance of a cave. She had her basket and pickaxe ready to mine for geodes. Before she could enter the cave, footsteps were heard running towards her.

“Clara!” A male’s voice called out.

Clara turned and for the first time, Sara saw her face. Clara’s appearance was similar to her own like how Cyrus looked like Lewis and Arthur looked like Oliver.

“Phillip?” Clara asked.

Phillip arrived and caught his breath before looking up at his friend with a glare. Sara’s eyes widened seeing Phillip looked exactly like Wiatt.

“What are you doing here?” Phillip asked. “Don’t you know your not allowed to be here?”

Carla chuckled, “sorry, but I just can’t help it. Ever since I found the first gemstone, I’ve been looking for more.”

Phillip sighed and crossed his arms, “your going to get in lots of trouble.” He said.

“I know, but you will too.” Carla replied.

“Huh?” Phillip was confused.

“Your going to cover for me, while I find more of these gems.”

Phillip’s eyes widened, “are you out of your mind!?”

“Come on, your my best friend Phillip.” Carla put her hand in his shoulder.

“I know.” Phillip sighed. “I just don’t want to loose you. You know how Mr. Edmund is with… suspicious people.”

Clara rolled her eyes, “Yeah…he gives me the creeps, but as long as your here. I’ll be fine, okay?”

Phillip sighed and was about to give his answer before Sara was pulled back from reality.

Sara gasped as her eyes went back to normal and she let go of Wiatt and stared at him in shock. “P-Phillip?” She asked.

“S-Sara. It’s me Wiatt.” He said. It then hit him realizing Sara had another time vision. “I’m guessing a time vision.”

Sara nodded, “I finally saw everyone.” She said. Sara turned to Oliver, “Oliver, the person that looked like you was named Arthur.”

Oliver’s eyes widened in surprised.

Sara then turned back to Wiatt, “and your person was Phillip.”

Wiatt was in shock and awe.

“And I…” Sara paused. Wiatt, Lewis and Oliver turned to face her. “I saw Clara, and she looked like me.”

Lewis put a hand on her shoulder, causing Sara to look up. “I had that feeling for a while, darling.” He said.

Sara smiled, “me too.” She whispered.

“Well now that you saw Clara and her friends, what now?” Wiatt asked.

“Now,” Sara started as she turned to Oliver. The later was confused, until Sara continued, “it’s time I tell you all the truth.”

Magia Chap.13- Gearing Up!

HAPPY (LATE) NEW YEARS!!!

Here is the next chapter! This one gave me some trouble as near the end the chapter it looked like it wasn’t going anywhere. After some help from a friend as well as putting it off to the side I was able to come up with how the ending of this chapter will go, and I like it. This also made me go back to some fanfics I also had on hold and edited some of them (some that were posted before this one). 

Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.

Enjoy!

After the conversation with Alison, Sara fled to her office to do research, this time on Clara. The female founder went through many websites to find her topic of interest, but it was hard as there were many people with that name during specific time periods. What’s worse, there were no photos to help Sara find her visually.

“Come on, there’s got to be something!” Sara complained, as she closed out of one website and opened another. She looked through that website, but like all the others nothing came up. Sara let out a frustrating groan as she slammed her head down on her desk.

Lewis was passed by as he heard his best friend groaning, causing him to enter into her office, “You okay, darling?” He asked.

“No! I’m not!” Sara snapped as she brought her head up. “After what happened this morning, I’ve been trying to do research on Clara, but with no last name and living in a time with no photos I can’t find anything on her!”

Lewis sighed and pulled a chair close to her. He put his hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up. “Darling, you’ve been pushing yourself too much finding Clara.”  

Sara turned her gaze away from her friend. 

“Why do you want to find her so badly?”

Sara sighed, “because, she has all the answers to what’s going on!” She exclaimed. “She found those gems and used them to stop Litho a long time ago. If we had her answers, maybe we would know how to control our powers better or how to stop Litho or-”

“Sara calm down!” Lewis yelled, cutting Sara off as he put his hands on her shoulders.

Sara paused, before letting out a sigh, “I’m overacting again, huh?”

“You do it quite a lot darling.” Lewis commented.

She chuckled, “sorry. I just want the answers to everything.”

Lewis nodded, “I know, but remember, Damien is looking into this, and soon we’ll have the answers needed.”

“I hope so.” Sara sighed.

Lewis put his arm around his best friend. “Feeling better?” 

“Mhm.” Sara replied while nodding.

“Alright,” Lewis sighed. He then let go of his friend to give her time to calm down before speaking. “Think you can help me with something?”

“What is it?” Sara asked.

Lewis got up and took his friend’s hand. “I’ll tell you on the way there,” he said.  Lewis led her to the elevators and they rode it to Staract.

As the elevator went down, Sara turned to her friend, as he never brought up what he needed help with, “well aren’t you going to tell me?” She asked.

Lewis nodded, “well you know how my powers are healing and yours is time related?” He mentioned.

“Yeah.” Sara replied. “Why?”

“Well, our powers can’t help us fight.” Lewis answered. “Wiatt can protect us, but his shields can be used as weapons, and Oliver’s electric powers can attack if he uses it, but ours we can’t really defend ourselves.”

Sara thought of that, and realized her friend was correct. During their fight with Winnie only Wiatt Oliver did some damage, but her and Lewis got the most injuries. 

However, she had frozen time before saving Eric from the house fire. “My powers can freeze time, but that was one time.I don't know how that happens.” She pointed out. 

“Exactly darling, that’s why we need to find weapons to defend ourselves.” Lewis stated.

The elevator rang as the two made it to the Staract. They entered the theater and went to the stage and entered backstage where the props would be. Lewis opened the door and turned on the light, before he closed it he checked to make sure no one followed them and closed it.

“The prop room, really?” Sara asked. “Lewis the weapons in here are not real, how is this going to defend ourselves?”

“I know you said you don't like it when we’re messing with our powers,” Lewis stated. He dragged one of the ladders and started to climb, “but it seems everytime we mess with it, we find out something new. So let’s mess with them.”

Lewis grabbed one of the prop boxes and opened them, showing prop weapons. Sara watched seeing her best friend dig through stuff to find a weapon for him. She looked at her gem, and the box in front of her. With a sigh she decided to dig through the box.

The two pulled out different items to see which one seemed fitting. Lewis found a prop cutlass and pointed at Sara, making her jump back before the two shared a laugh. He put it aside as he continued to look for a different item.

Sara on the other hand found a prop gun, which made her uneasy so she put it back. “Hmm…” she looked at the remaining items, before looking back up at her friend, “find anything?” She asked.

Lewis nodded. “I’m debating between a cutlass or this wand.” He said, showing a blue magical girl wand. “What about you darling?”

Sara sighed, “nothing yet.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll find something that you’ll connect with soon,” Lewis said.

Sara frowned and continued digging through the box. “Huh?” She then saw something deep inside the box. Sara went in deeper and pulled out an archery bow. “What’s this doing here?”

Suddenly, Sara’s gem glowed brighter as she let out a gasp as her eyes turned pink. Lewis looked up and was shocked seeing Sara’s powers activating once again.

Sara’s powers brought her back to the past, and there she saw Clara practicing archery outside of her home. Clara hit a bullseye that she drew on a tree, and saw her turn to someone. “Ready to try, Arthur?”

“Arthur?” Sara asked. Then she saw him….

Arthur looked exactly like Oliver back when he was in high school with his orange hair tied into a ponytail. However, he looked a bit shorter than Oliver.

“I-I guess.” Arthur replied.

Clara then helped Arthur position himself and how to hold the arrow. “Alright, you put your hands in position like this, and make sure your thumb points at your target.” She explained. “Make your hands relaxed and then shoot.”

Arthur nodded and did all that and launched the arrow at the tree. Before the arrow could hit Sara was sent back to the present.

Sara gasped looking at the bow and arrow in her hand. “Time vision again, darling?” Lewis asked. Sara turned to her best friend.

“Y-Yeah.” Sara answered.

“Past or future?” 

“Past. I saw more of Clara and she was with another friend, Arthur.” Sara explained.

“Who is Arthur?” Lewis asked.

“He looked like Oliver, but shorter.” Sara answered, chuckling at the thought of the person that looked like their best friend, who is taller than the two of them, being shorter.

Lewis chuckled, before realizing Sara found her weapon of choice. “You know darling, I think it’s not just people, but whatever you touch causes your powers to activate.”

Sara’s eyes widened as she looked at her weapon. She wondered if this was a sign, and that the bow and arrow was her choice of weapon. 

However, there was one problem: there were only three arrows in the set. 

Sara continued to dig through the box in hopes to find more arrows. At the end of the box, she found two more, but that was all. “Well, I guess it’s the best I can do.” She looked up to see Lewis still deciding between the wand or the cutlass. “Have you decided yet?”

“No, not yet.” Lewis replied. He looked between the two weapons to see which one he wanted to pick. His gem started to glow as his hand went to the wand. This surprised Lewis, but to make sure the reaction was wand related, he moved his hand away from the wand and saw the gem light fade. Once he put his hand near the wand, the gem glowed again. Lewis knew what his weapon would be and took the wand. “I finally made my choice darling.”

“Alright. So now what?” Sara asked.

“We’re gonna mess around with them.” Lewis answered.

“How?” Sara asked. Lewis didn't answer and instead eyed her bow and arrow. She looked at it and up at Lewis, realizing what he meant. Sara shook her head in horror, “I-I don’t want to hurt you Lewis.”

Lewis sighed and put his hand on Sara’s shoulder, which caused her to look up at her friend. “You're not going to hurt me darling,” he said. “Don’t forget I have healing powers.”

Sara looked up at her friend and gave a small smile, “okay.” 

Lewis smiled and the two took a step away from each other. They took a deep breath and faced each other holding their weapons tightly. Sara put the arrow on the bow and was ready to aim it at Lewis, while the latter held the wand close to him.

At that moment, the duo’s gems were illuminated as a light made its way towards their weapons. The light turned Sara’s bow and arrow pink with the ends of it yellow. Lewis’s wand turned bigger and gained a crescent moon holding a star and a blue gem at the bottom.

In shock, Sara released the arrow. Lewis screamed and used his wand to defend himself, as the wand let out a beam of stars to destroy the arrow.

After that they fearfully paused seeing the prop items turned into actual weapons. “What the fuck was that!” Lewis and Sara exclaimed at the same time.

“Okay, I didn’t expect that!” Sara exclaimed.

“Me neither! Like what the bloody hell!” Lewis exclaimed, as he waved the wand around which caused a star projectile to be launched into the ceiling.

Lewis and Sara looked up to see a dent on the ceiling, then looked at each other. Now curious, Sara strummed the bow string and then held her bow like she was ready to aim it until a pink arrow appeared. “Huh?” She asked, surprised. Sara launched the arrow, it went by fast and hit the wall.

The two friends looked at one another, “you still want to practice darling?” Lewis asked.

“S-Sure.” Sara answered.

The two got themselves ready and Sara was the first one to make the first move. An arrow appeared in her bow as she launched it.

Lewis missed the attack and used his wand to launch a beam of stars at Sara. With a smirk she too missed the attack, and was ready to launch another arrow.

Sara had an idea, and tried to activate her time stop powers. She clicked her heels, her eyes turned pink. Shetook a step back as a pink aura surrounded the area, even Lewis was frozen in time.

“Alright!” Sara cheered. She then launched another arrow and saw it frozen in time as well. With a smirk she was able to send out arrow after arrow until her time powers unfroze and the arrows flew their way to Lewis.

Lewis yelped as he missed the oncoming arrows, and used his wand to launch a beam of stars to destroy the last one Sara fired. He then gasped when he saw Sara create two new arrows, ready to launch them at Lewis.

“Okay, this is the kind of messing around I can deal with!” Sara laughed, launching the arrows.

Lewis missed the arrows, preparing to launch another beam of stars at his best friend. “Agreed darling!” He beamed using his wand to attack.

Sara missed it and launched one more arrow at Lewis. However, he didn’t have time to dodge it as it pierced his right arm, causing him to yell in pain.

“Oh my god!” Sara yelled. She ran to her best friend, as the arrow in his arm disappeared leaving a large wound. “Lewis, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”

“It’s okay darling.” Lewis winced in pain. He used his left hand and used his healing powers to heal the wound. Once it disappeared, Lewis sighed, feeling fine.

Sara sighed. Her friend was fine, thankfully. Still, the guilt she hurt her friend never went away.

Lewis took notice and put his hand on her shoulder, causing Sara to look up. “Hey, I told you, my powers can heal me. You’re fine.” He explained.

“Alright.” Sara replied smiling.

Lewis and Sara’s gems started to glow again, the weapons glowed, and then went inside their gems. The gems glowed brighter before turning back to normal.

“So that’s how they get put away.” Sara gasped.

“Pretty much. I thought we had to chant some spell or something.” Lewis joked. Sara laughed, which made Lewis smile. “There’s the Sara I remembered.”

Sara stopped laughing and smiled. “Come on, we should head back.”

Lewis nodded and the two started to walk back to their office. However, they were stopped when Wiatt opened the door with a blood curdling, fearful gaze in his eyes and sweat pouring down his brow. Something was wrong with the mechanic.

“W-Wiatt?” Lewis asked. “Are you okay?”

How do you think the amphibia girls would get along with the soul gem goobers? :3

I can see them getting along!! I can see the Calamity Girls being jealous that the Soul Gem Quartet can use their powers on a daily basis while the Calamity Girls don’t have special powers unless they transform.

Soul Gem AU: The Somnium Box and Jewels

Big thanks to @belladazeblog916 for helping with naming the jewels.

Lore (as of now):

The name of the box is the Somnium Box and it was founded by Clara (Klar-ah). Later the gems were wielded by her and her three friends: Arthur, Cyrus, and Phillip in the late 1700’s.

You’ve met Clara and Cyrus, but soon you’ll met Arthur and Phillip. You’ll also find out who they are, but there are clues.

The jewels inside the box give the holder powers and each gem gives their holder a certain power.

The jewels were found in black geodes that Clara was able to find in an old cave. She was told countless times that the cave was off limits, but she ignored them and went ahead. There were times she asked her best friend Phillip to cover for her.

There’s (probably) more gems, but so far 4 have been shown.

Names of the Jewels and their Powers:

Blue-Topaz Azul-Healing-Lewis

Green-Viridis Jadite-Electric-Oliver

Pink-Roseus Tempus Spinel-Time--Sara

Yellow-Lutum Sphalerite-Protection-Wiatt

The gems powers fit their holders wishes or talents. For example:

Sara having time powers is because she regrets the entire incident with her three bullies and wishes she could’ve stopped it.

Wiatt having protection powers is because he’s worried about Lewis and wants to protect him.

Oliver’s electric powers are his connections with coding. Though it’s also my way of referencing his TV situation in the main canon.

Lewis being a healer is how he’s caring and wants to help and comfort his friends, plus the group needed a healer.

If anything, yes the four could’ve gotten different powers if they had different goals and wishes in mind. For example, Lewis could have electricity powers and Oliver could be healing if that’s their element.

The powers do connect with their souls and soul essence. I don't want to spoil TOO much, but their powers can get stronger or weaker depending on their emotions.

I'd like to share more, but I don't want to spoil TOO much of the story and more information will come in Arc 2. Yes this series has 2 parts too it, which are Magia (Arc 1) and Connection (Arc 2). I do hint at a 3rd Arc, but that's a maybe.

If you want to know more of Soul Gem AU check out the fanfic under the #Soul Gem AU or #magia au tags, or drop an ask on my asks box.

Dreamers of Myths & Legends Chap.8- Welcome Home to Galar

Here is the next chapter! We’re also getting into more Mew research as I held that off for like the past 5 chapters. This fic is giving anime vibes and I want to keep it that way.

So I brought this up to tumblr, but never on here. If you noticed I’ve been writing long chapters for my fanfics, and it can get a bit exhausting. While looking at the notes for this chapter, I realized with all I have this chapter would be longer. With that I’ve made the decision to split certain ideas into parts starting with this one. This is to make the chapters a bit easy on myself without stressing out over filling up the ideas I’ve planned since this AU started. Some of the ideas I have may be split into 2 or 3 chapters, the most would be 4.

Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.

Enjoy!

The Dream Quartet were on a plane going to their next researcher quest. This quest excited Lewis as they would be heading to his hometown, the Galar region. Throughout the entire flight, Lewis was excited to be back in his home region.

Wiatt glanced at his best friend and smiled, “you seem excited.” He said.

“I am!” Lewis beamed. “I finally get to show you guys the Galar Regin!”

“You’ve been excited since this morning,” Sara added.

Flashback:

“Really?!” Lewis shouted. “We’re going to the Galar Region?”

Eric nodded, “I got in touch with someone who has info on Mew.”

Wiatt’s eyes widened as he got up, equally excited as Lewis. “Really?!” He asked.

“Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed, excited like his trainer.

“I figured these two would be excited,” Sara commented seeing her two friends getting excited.

Sara then felt Lewis grab her hand. “Come on darling, we don’t want to be late!” Lewis exclaimed as he dragged his friend out of the facility.

“W-Wait! Lewis!” Sara complained as her friend started to run straight to the airport.

Flashback ends:

Lewis chuckled, “I-I guess I was too excited darling.” He replied. “But, I get to give my best friends the Galar Region experience!”

“Meow! Meow!” Sprigatito exclaimed, excited as well.

The group chuckled, seeing they were all excited to get to Galar. Oddity glanced at the window and his eyes widened as he saw the view of Galar right below them.

“Eevee! Eevee!” Oddity called out.

The Dream Quartet looked down and saw the view of Galar right below. They smiled, but Lewis’s smile was wider than the others.

“We’re here!” Lewis exclaimed.

Once the plane landed, Lewis and Sprigatito were the first ones off the plane. Lewis saw Galar hadn’t changed at all since he left. Sprigatito looked around Galar and saw it was different than back home.

Wiatt and the others got off the plane and went to Lewis’s side.

“Welcome to the Galar region!” Lewis beamed. “So what do you darlings want to do first? Shop, eat, I know all the best spots!”

Wiatt chuckled, he had never seen Lewis excited before, then again Galar was his home region, so it was to be expected. Lewis wanted to give him and his friends the best experience in Galar. “Well,” Wiatt spoke up, “we should see who Eric wanted us to meet before we do anything fun.”

“Did Eric say where we’re meeting his person?” Oliver asked.

“They live somewhere called the Wild Area.” Wiatt answered.

Lewis’s eyes widened and smiled putting his hands together. “Hey! That’s where I live!” He exclaimed. “How about we stop by my place before meeting the person, Eric requested?”

Wiatt and the others looked at each other and smiled, “sounds like a plan!” He replied.

“Vee! Vee!” Oddity exclaimed.

The four chuckled as Lewis led them to the train station to get to the Wild Area.

Off the plane, Team Rocket in disguise in trench coats and hats, were curious to where Wiatt and his friends were going. The trio were originally here on vacation, but upon seeing the Dream Quartet they decided to follow them.

“I wonder where the twerps are going this time?” Meowth asked.

“Let’s not wonder,” Jessie stated. “Let’s follow and find out.”

James and Meowth nodded, and the trio went to the train station to follow Wiatt and his friends. Once they got on the train, they decided to sit down in the booth right in front of Wiatt and his friends. Team Rocker chuckled that they didn’t get caught.

Oddity took notice of the evil trio, but Team Rocket turned away and whistled. The Eevee tilted his head in confusion, not recognizing Team Rocket in their disguise. He brushed it off and relaxed on Wiatt’s lap.

During the train ride through the Wild Area, Wiatt and the others were in awe at all the sights the area had to offer. Oddity and Sprigatito’s eyes widened seeing many wild Pokemon roaming from the window.

“Do you like it, darling?” Lewis asked his Pokemon.

“Meow!” Sprigatito mewled.

“Think we can explore after we get what we need?” Sara asked.

“Sure, darling.” Lewis replied.

On Team Rocket’s side, they smirked seeing all the Pokemon in the Wild Area. “Look at all the Pokemon around here.” Jessie beamed.

“Yeah, why didn’t we strike here the last time we were in Galar?” Meowth asked.

“How about we grab the Pokemon from the Wild Area then we grab the twerps Pokemon?” James suggested.

“Perfect!” Meowth exclaimed. “With a place filled with Pokemon, we might find some rare ones!”

“Very rare!” Jessie and James exclaimed.

“True that, darlings.” Lewis interrupted.

Team Rocket turned to Lewis and saw he overheard some of the conversation. They froze in fear hoping the young boy didn’t hear their master plan.

“Is this your first time visiting the Wild Area?“ Lewis asked.

“Uh…y-yes. We’ve been wanting to visit for so long.” James lied.

“Yeah, just three friends on vacation!” Jessie lied.

Lewis smiled, “Well I hope you like it, the Wild Area is a huge place with many different areas and different Pokémon.”

Team Rocket sighed as they imagined the different Pokemon in the Wild Area with a happy Giovanni crying tears of joy.

“I can’t wait!” Meowth exclaimed.

Soon the train started to slow down as it made its way to the station. Once it came to a full stop, everyone got off the train. Team Rocket was the first one off and started to make their way to the Wild Area hoping to get out of their disguises and start scheming.

Lewis and the others got off the train, smiling seeing Team Rocket have fun. “Well, they look happy,” Wiatt said.

“They sure are, darling.” Lewis replied. “Come on, let’s get going.”

The group nodded and started to make their way through the Wild Area.

Rustle Rustle

Oliver gasped and turned around hearing something from the bushes. However, there was no one in sight.

“Oliver?” Wiatt asked. Oliver turned to his friend. “You okay?”

“Y-Yeah,” Oliver replied. “I thought I heard something.” Ignoring it, he continued walking with his friends.

Once the group walked further away a pair of white ears with orange and yellow markings appeared from the bushes. The Pokemon stuck it’s head out more seeing the group before smirking. This particular Pokemon is Scorbunny, and he couldn’t wait to have a little fun.

“So who are we seeing?” Oliver asked.

Lewis looked at the note Eric gave him, and upon reading the name he froze up.

“What’s wrong?” Wiatt asked.

Lewis slowly looked up and whimpered. “My mom.” He realized she was the person who had the answers for Mew, Danica Bright.

The group was getting close to Lewis’s house, which was blue with a dark blue roof, and the fence had paintings that Lewis had drawn when he was a kid till recent times. Taking a deep breath, Lewis knocked on the door and waited.

Not a moment went by as the door opened and Danica came out. A smile grew on her face seeing her son at the door. Danica had long light brown hair and green eyes like her son. She wore a white sweater over a dark blue dress.

“Lewis!” Danica exclaimed, hugging her son tight. “Oh, my baby boy it’s so good to see you!”

Lewis groaned seeing his mom embarrass him in front of his friends. Wiatt and his friends smiled and chuckled a bit seeing Danica cuddling her son.

“Mom…” Lewis groaned.

Danica chuckled and let go of her son, “sorry, dear. I just missed you since you left.” She said.

Lewis sighed and gave a small smile, “I missed you too.”

Danica hugged her son again before quickly letting go. She then turned to her son’s friends and realized she hadn’t met them physically yet.

“Oh, Mom, this is Sara, Oliver, Wiatt, and his Eevee, Oddity.” Lewis introduced his friends.

“Nice to meet you.” The three said in reply.

Danica smiled and hugged her son’s friends tightly, to the point they couldn’t even breathe.

“M-Mom!?” Lewis exclaimed.

Danica ignored her son’s cries as she continued hugging his friends. “Oh thank you so much for taking care of my son!” She beamed.

“No…problem…” The three replied, muffled.

“Meow,” Sprigatito spoke up. The Grass Cat felt offended she wasn’t introduced.

Danica heard the Pokemon and let go of her son’s friends giving them a chance to breathe.

“Oh sorry darling.” Lewis apologized. “Mom, this is my partner, Sprigatito.”

“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito said, introducing herself. Her tail wagged excited to meet her trainer’s mom.

Danica smiled and kneeled down at the Grass Cat Pokemon. She petted the Pokemon who let out a purr. “Aww, she’s cute.” She beamed. “Have you been taking good care of my little starlight?”

Lewis blushed in embarrassment that his mom dropped his nickname in front of his friends. The group snickered upon hearing that.

“Starlight?” Sara asked.

“Shut up,” Lewis grumbled, causing his friends to laugh even more.

Danica chuckled and got up, “well, come in you guys.” She said, opening the door wider as her son and his friends walked in.

Upon walking in they heard barking, which made Sprigatito freeze. Coming down the stairs was a Yamper and a Lilipup.

“Yamper! Lillipup!” Lewis beamed as he kneeled down and hugged his mom’s Pokémon. “Darlings, I missed you guys.”

The two dog Pokemon barked happily as Lewis petted them and in return, they gave him kisses.

Sprigatito growled seeing the two puppy Pokemon give their trainer a lot of love and affection.

Lewis heard his Pokemon growl and turned to face her, chuckling. “Lillipup, Yamper, this is my Pokémon Sprigatito.”

Sprigatito growled as Lillipup went over to the Grass Cat Pokémon first. He sniffed her, which gave Sprigatito some ease before going over to give her a lick on the face.

“Meow,” Sprigatito said.

Lillipup barked, which made Sprigatito smile and meow back. Yamper then went over to Sprigatito and sniffed her too before nuzzling her. At first, Sprigatito didn’t mind it, but the sparks from Yamper’s fur made her jump back and hiss, making everyone laugh.

Lewis then carried Sprigatito and held her. “So Mom, you said you found information about our research?”

“I sure did. I found it in the attic.” Danica answered.

She led her son and his friends upstairs, before pulling up the ladder and opening the attic. Unfortunately, a downpour of items came down on top of everyone.

Lewis was the first to come out of the pile, “Mom! Did you forget to clean up?!” He exclaimed.

Danica came out of the pile and chuckled. “Sorry, when Eric told me your mission, I remembered I had something in the attic given to me from my grandfather.” She explained.

Lewis sighed, as the rest of his friends came out of the pile.

After escaping, Danica dug through the pile trying to find what she planned on showing her son and his friends.

“Well, this will be a while,” Wiatt commented.

“Hey, while my mom is looking for it, why don’t I show you guys something my mom and I do?” Lewis asked, walking to another room.

“Uh… sure.” Oliver replied as he, Wiatt, and Sara followed their friend. Lewis took his three friends to another room and opened the door. 

His friend’s eyes widened seeing some Pokémon resting and playing. “Woah!” They exclaimed.

“Look at all the Pokemon!” Oliver exclaimed.

“Are these all yours?” Wiatt asked.

Lewis shook his head. “Nope. These are all wild Pokemon.” He replied. “You see darlings, because there’s no Pokemon Center in the Wild Area, my mom takes care of all the injured Pokemon that come around here,” Lewis explained.

“Wow,” Sara replied. “Sounds like my caretaker back in Kalos.”

As the group was discussing, Oddity saw a silhouette peeking from the window. “Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed.

Everyone turned to the Evolution Pokemon, “Oddity, what’s wrong?” Wiatt asked.

“Eevee! Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed, trying to tell his trainer he saw something outside.

Wiatt put Oddity down and the normal-type ran outside to find out who was spying on them. He looked around hoping to find who that silhouette was, but there was no one in sight.

“Eevee?” Oddity questioned.

Wiatt came outside and looked around seeing nothing either. “Hmm…maybe it was just a Pokemon passing by.”

“Vee.” Oddity wondered.

“Come on, let’s get inside,” Wiatt said, as he walked back inside Lewis’s house.

Oddity blinked and glared before following his trainer back inside. Suddenly, a pebble came flying by and hit Oddity over the head. “Eevee!” Oddity growled, but saw no one. “Eevee?”

“Oddity, come on!” Wiatt called out.

The Eevee sighed and went back inside. From the bushes, Scorbunny smirked and snickered.

While the Dream Quartet sat down in the living room, waiting for Danica to find what she wanted to show her son and his friends. The older woman smiled thinking she had found what she was looking for. “I think I found it!” She beamed.

The Dream Quartet turned to see the older woman come by and showed a photo of Lewis as a toddler wearing a Pichu onesie. Wiatt, Sara, Oliver, Oddity, and Sprigatito tried to hold in their laughter, but Lewis blushed in embarrassment seeing his baby picture.

“Mom!” Lewis yelled.

His friends then laughed hard, as Lewis covered his face with his hands. Danica looked at what she pulled and realized she grabbed the wrong thing. “Oops. Sorry sweetie.” She said, putting the photo behind her back as she went back to the pile of stuff and found the right item; a torn piece of paper. “Here it is!”

Danica walked back to the group, who had calmed down after that funny moment. She sat next to her son as she showed him and his friends what looked to be a map of an mysterious island. On top of it, the words -away Island, half of the name.

“This is part of a map for a place called Faraway Island,” Danica explained.

The Dream Quartet was in awe seeing part of the map. “This is where Mew lives?” Wiatt asked.

Danica nodded in reply. Lewis picked up the map before looking up at his mother, “Mom, how long have you been keeping this?” He asked.

“This map belonged to your grandparents,” Danica answered. “They always explored everywhere, finding rare Pokemon, and Faraway Island was one of their travels.”

Lewis put the map down as his friends looked into it again. “What happened to the other pieces of the map?” Sara asked, mentioning how the map was torn.

Danica sighed. “My parents went on so many adventures, and that also meant they encountered dangerous people on their journeys.” She explained. “To avoid those dangerous people, they ripped pieces of their maps and gave a piece to people they trusted with one of those pieces being given to me.”

Wiatt sighed in disappointment, now he and his friends had to find the pieces before they could get closer to finding Mew.

“So I guess the search is ongoing?” Lewis asked, sighing in disappointment.

“Pretty much.” Sara sighed, disappointed as well. The three let out a sigh, but not Oliver.

The taller boy looked at the map, analyzing how many pieces they needed to find. “From the looks of it, we’re missing two pieces,” Oliver concluded. He turned to Danica “Do you know where the other pieces could be?”

“Hmmm…” Danica thought. “If I can recall one of the pieces is in Johto.”

Oliver smiled. “Hey that’s my home region. Maybe one day we’ll stop by there once we get information.” He explained.

“Sounds like a plan!” Sara exclaimed.

Wiatt felt his stomach rumble. Not long after Lewis’s stomach started to rumble as well.

Danica chuckled “Looks like you four are hungry.”

“Y-Yeah.” Lewis chuckled. “I got so excited we didn’t have time to eat breakfast.”

Danica smiled. “Well why don’t I cook you and your friend’s favorite curry.”

Lewis’s eyes light up like stars, “you mean, your sweet n’ sour curry?” He asked.

Danica nodded. “I’ll get it cooking for you guys.”

“Great! Thanks Mom!” Lewis exclaimed.

Danica smiled and walked to the kitchen with Yamper and Lillipup in tow. Lewis was excited to eat his mom’s cooking, something he missed since he left.

“What’s Sweet n’ Sour curry?” Wiatt asked.

“A secret family recipe, darling,” Lewis answered. “It’s a curry dish where my mom uses half sweet berries and half sour berries mixed into the curry and,” he paused before putting his hand on Wiatt’s shoulder. “I’ll let you try it for yourself.”

Wiatt smiled excitedly to try Lewis’s family curry. From how Lewis was explaining it, it sounded pretty good.

Danica came back in with a nervous smile on her face. “Uh…sweetie?” She spoke up. “I have a problem.”

Lewis groaned and looked down, “let me guess, you forgot the ingredients?” He asked.

“Oh, I have the ingredients,” Danica answered. “I just don’t have the berries for the curry.”

“Great.” Lewis sighed.

Danica gave a small smile, “Lewis, why don’t you and your friends collect berries in the Wild Area for the curry?”

“W-What?!” Lewis asked, shocked.

“Hey, don’t worry Lewis,” Sara spoke up. “You said it was okay, we can explore the Wild Area while we collect the berries.”

Lewis got nervous until Wiatt put his hands on his shoulders. Lewis looked up slightly blushing at his friend. “Come on Lewis, it could be fun!”

“Eevee! Vee!” Oddity exclaimed.

Lewis gave a nervous smile and nodded. “Alright, guess we’ll go.”

“Alright! Yes!” Sara and Wiatt cheered.

“Eevee!” Oddity cheered.

Danica smiled and dug into her pocket for the recipe. She found it and handed it to her son. Lewis unfolded the recipe and saw what the curry needed:

Two Pecha Berries, Two Oran Berries, Two Tomato Berries, Two Leppa Berries, and Two Sitrus Berries.

“Okay! I got it memorized.” Lewis said, putting the recipe in his pocket.

“Goodluck, my Starlight!” Danica replied, hugging her son tight.

Lewis groaned as his friends chuckled again at his nickname.

Outside the house, Scorbunny overheard everything and smirked. He let out an evil chuckle as he went to set up his plans

Lewis and his friends went to the Wild Area. Sara sent out her Skiddo and Piplup to help with finding the berries for the curry.

“Alright, here are the ingredients right here,” Lewis said, showing his friends the berries needed for the curry. “Now the berries are found in berry trees scattered around the Wild Area.” He then grabbed his Rotom Phone and sent his friends a photo of a berry tree.

Once Wiatt, Oliver, and Sara’s Rotom Phones beeped as they grabbed it and looked at the photos of what the berry trees looked like.

“How about we split into teams? Oddity and Skiddo can be one team, Piplup and Sprigatito can be one, Lewis and I can be a team, and Oliver and Sara are another.” Wiatt explained.

Lewis smiled hearing he’d be partnered with Wiatt,  Sara glared and crossed her arms.

“Wait? Who said you and Lewis should be a team?” Sara asked.

“I did? I planned the teams.” Wiatt replied, crossing his arms and facing Sara.

Sara crossed her arms as well, “well if anyone is doing team planning it’s me, and I think I’ll do better matching teams then you.”

Wiatt glared at the girl, growling a little bit.

“Besides, why do you want to be partnered with Lewis?” Sara asked.

Wiatt’s eyes widened as he blushed looking at Lewis who was confused. “Uh…I just want to spend time with him.” He lied.

Sara blinked confused, she noticed Wiatt was blushing but didn’t think much of it.

“How about the Pokémon being one team, and the four of us could be a team?” Lewis suggested.

Sara and Wiatt looked at each other, and the blush faded from Wiatt’s cheeks.

“I guess that’s fine.” Sara sighed.

“I agree,” Wiatt added.

“Splendid!” Lewis beamed. He turned to Sprigatito and Piplup. “Now darlings once you and the others have found the berries needed, signal us using Leafage and Bubble Beam, okay?”

“Meow!” Sprigatito replied.

“Piplup! Pip!” Piplup replied.

Skiddo heard rustling in the bushes and turned around. She glared as she walked over to the bushes to check out what was over there. Sara took notice of her Pokémon walking off and called out to her.

“Skiddo! Where are you going?”

Skiddo bleats while she points at the bushes with her hooves telling her trainer that she heard something in the bushes. Sara glanced at the bushes and went over to look only to see nothing.

“Skiddo. I don’t see anything.” Sara reassured her. She walked back to the group, but not before petting her Pokémon on the head.

Skiddo knew she heard something. She glanced over at the bushes again and glared.

“Eevee?” Oddity asked, walking over to the Mount Pokémon.

Skiddo snapped out of her thoughts and bleated in reply that she’s okay. She then ushered the Evolution Pokemon to help find berries for their lunch.

The group split up to find the ingredients. Once they were gone, Scorbunny appeared out of the bushes, snickering as he followed the group.

The Rabbit Pokémon followed Oddity and Skiddo to a Pecha Berry tree. From the looks of it, the two Pokemon saw something rustle in the trees.

“Eevee!” Oddity called out.

Appearing from the branches was a Skwovet with some berries in its mouth.

“Eevee!” Oddity said. Using a nearby stick he drew the Pecha Berries and Leppa Berries, explaining it’s for their lunch.

“Skwo!” Skwovet replied, retreating to the trees and throwing some Pecha Berries for the two Pokemon. Once that was done, Skwovet came down and told the two Pokemon where the Leppa Berries were.

“Skwo! Skwovet!” Skwovet explained, pointing at the nearby trees.

“Vee! Eevee!” Oddity replied. He and Skiddo thank the Cheeky Pokemon and leave to find Leppa Berries.

Skwovet waved goodbye seeing the duo leave to find berries.

Scorbunny snickered and ran off, hoping to get ahead of Oddity and Skiddo. He then saw an apple tree and snickered, having an idea. The Rabbit Pokémon heard Oddity and Skiddo walk by and hid behind the tree.

Scorbunny waited until the time was right, once Oddity and Skiddo were near his tree, he kicked it causing a bunch of apples to fall on top of them. The two were knocked out as Scorbunny appeared in front of them and laughed.

Skiddo was the first to awaken due to the fire-type’s laughter and growled at him. She escaped from the pile of apples and used her vines to grab him. Scorbunny froze in shock as he was pulled closer to Skiddo, who glared at them.

Scorbunny felt scared and chuckled nervously, almost telling the Mount Pokemon it was just a prank. The latter however didn’t think it was funny and proceeded to throw Scorbunny to the other side of the forest, spinning like a top.

Skiddo huffed, hoping she’d never see that fire-type Pokemon ever again. She then turned to Oddity and saw him slowly waking up, struggling to get out of the pile of apples. Skiddo bleated and used her vines to help Oddity out of the pile. She then brushed Oddity’s fur with said vines.

“Vee Eevee!” Oddity replied, thanking his friend.

Skiddo bleated in reply, happy to help her friend, and the two continued off to find Leppa Berries.

Scorbunny was still spinning around until he crashed into a tree. Scorbunny groaned as some berries landed on his head before collapsing on the ground.

Sprigatito and Piplup had been on their way to collect Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries when they saw Scorbunny on the ground. The two were in shock and ran over to the rabbit Pokémon trying to wake him up.

“Piplup Pip?” Piplup asked, hoping Scorbunny was alright,

“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito asked the same thing.

Scorbunny slowly opened his eyes and saw the two Pokemon, looking at him in concern. “Scor…” He weakly replied.

The Grass Cat Pokemon and The Penguin Pokemon were relieved seeing Scorbunny was alright. “Pip. Piplup!” Piplup exclaimed.

Scorbunny jumped up in surprise. He remembered that these two Pokemon were part of Wiatt’s group. He took a deep breath to relax and told the two Pokemon he was alright.

Sprigatito and Piplup smiled, as the Penguin Pokemon asked the fire-type about berries. “Piplup. Pip pip Piplup.”

“Scorbun?” Scorbunny asked.

“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito replied. She told Scorbunny how her trainer needed berries to make a meal, and the two were looking for Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries.

“Scor. Scorbun bun.” Scorbunny replied, promising to show the two Pokemon where the berries were. Sprigatito and Piplup’s eyes widened and sparkled, finding a Pokemon that could help them. Scorbunny ushered them to follow him. The two Pokemon followed the fire-type from behind, while the latter smirked seeing these two were easy to trick.

In a farther part of the forest, Oddity and Skiddo finally found the Leppa Berries and were finally picking them. Once they gathered enough they decided to head back to Wiatt and the others.

As they were heading back, Skiddo saw the prankster Scorbunny again with their friends. She growled and went to follow the fire-type seeing where he was going to take Sprigatito and Piplup.

“Eevee?” Oddity asked, wondering if Skiddo was okay, and decided to follow her.

Scorbunny led Sprigatito and Piplup to a bunch of trees each with many different berries on them. Their eyes widened seeing many berries including Oran and Sitrus Berries. Scorbunny found a pebble and kicked it at the tree causing some Sitrus Berries to fall off.

Sprigatito and Piplup beamed in joy seeing the berries as Scorbunny picked up some Sitrus Berries and handed them to Piplup.

“Pip Piplup.” Piplup thanked the fire type.

“Scorbunny. Score.” Scorbunny replied. The fire-type was ready to kick another pebble to a tree but smirked seeing a Vespiqueen nest and was ready to kick the pebble there.

Scorbunny bounced the pebble around with his foot before smirking and kicking the pebble towards the Vespiqueen nest.

However, Skiddo used Razor Leaf knocking the pebble out of the way, as it hit another berry tree. Scorbunny, Sprigatito and Piplup turned to Skiddo, who was fuming with anger.

“Piplup?” Piplup asked his teammate, confused.

“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito added.

Skiddo belated as she used her vines to point at Scorbunny. She explained to her fellow Pokemon friends what Scorbunny did to her and Oddity. Piplup and Sprigatito looked shocked and turned towards the Rabbit Pokémon.

“Meow. Meow?” Sprigatito asked, wondering what her fellow grass Pokemon said was true.

Scorbunny tried to find his way out of his predicament, but he was cornered by the Mount Pokémon. The fire-type gave a nervous chuckle and walked over to Skiddo while reassuring the group this was all a prank. He put his arm around Skiddo, which made her glare at the fire-type.

The Rabbit Pokémon laughed as he nudged Skiddo, which made her angry by the second. Scorbunny then made the mistake of smacking Skiddo as he continued to laugh.

Skiddo growled and grabbed Scorbunny with her vines, launching him away, almost like how Team Rocket blasted off.

Oddity, Piplup and Sprigatito looked horrified over their friend angry at the fire-type Pokemon. “Eevee?” Oddity asked.

“Piplup Pip,” Piplup said, reminding Skiddo she took it too far.

Skiddo turned to glare at her friends causing them to huddle in fear at the grass-type’s anger. Skiddo bleats, telling the trio to follow her to find the last of the berries for Lewis and his friends. The trio followed the Mount Pokémon still in fear over their friend’s anger.

Speaking of Lewis and his friends, the group finally found Tomato Berries and were ready to head back to where they split off. However, Lewis and Sara got worried for their Pokemon as they haven’t sent out the signal.

“Think Skiddo, Piplup, and Sprigatito are alright?” Sara asked.

“I’m sure their fine, darling,” Lewis reassured her. 

Sara wasn’t convinced, but soon she heard a scream. She looked up and her eyes widened seeing Scorbunny come crashing down towards them. “Um…guys.” Sara pointed at the sky.

Wiatt, Lewis, and Oliver looked up shocked seeing Scorbunny screaming as he fell, and landed on Oliver.

“Oliver!” Wiatt, Lewis, and Sara shouted.

Oliver and Scorbunny were dizzy from the landing as Torchic danced above their heads. The two both shook it off and looked at each other in the eyes, and the two felt like it was destiny.

“Darling, are you alright?” Lewis asked.

“I’m fine,” Oliver replied, looking up at his friend rubbing his head. He then looked over at Scorbunny who rubbed his head before getting off of Oliver.

“Where did this Scorbunng come from?” Sara asked. “I never seen one fall right out of the sky.”

“Hmm…” Wiatt wondered. He grabbed his Rotom Phone and scared Scorbunny into the Pokedex.

Scorbunny, the Rabbit Pokémon. A Fire-Type.

The special pads on its feet and nose radiate tremendous heat. When it does warm ups Scorbunny can use the full extent of its power.

Scorbunny smiled proudly, twitching his ears and putting his paws at his hips. “Scorbunny. Scorbun!” He beamed.

Sara smiled, “aww, he’s so cute!” She beamed.

Scorbunny gulped and blushed as his ears went down.

The Dream Quartet chuckled. “Guess someone’s a little embarrassed being called cute.” Oliver said.

Scorbunny lifted one of his ears and glanced at Oliver, who smiled at him. “Scorbunny.” He said as he lifted his other ear.

“So where did you come from?” Oliver asked.

Scorbunny chuckled and was about to explain, but heard the sound of Skiddo growling at him. The group turned to Skiddo and saw the anger in her eyes and the fear in Oddity, Piplup, and Sprigatito’s eyes.

“Skiddo,” Sara spoke up.

Scorbunny realized he was in danger now, as he hid behind Oliver for protection.

Skiddo growled seeing Scorbunny, she bleated seeing him, ready to take him down.

“Skiddo, what’s wrong?” Sara asked.

Skiddo bleated and explained to her trainer that Scorbunny had been nothing but trouble since they all arrived in the Wild Area.

“You’re saying Scorbunny has been causing trouble?” Sara asked.

Skiddo nodded and bleated in anger. She explained to her trainer what Scorbunny did, which caused everyone to turn and face the Rabbit Pokemon. Scorbunny gave a nervous smile as he stepped back away from the group. 

“Scorbunny,” Oliver spoke up. 

Scorbunny froze in fear as he slowly glanced at Oliver.

Skiddo saw the fire-type trying to leave and growled as she was ready use Take Down on him, despite the warning from her trainer.

“Skiddo, wait!” Sara shouted.

Scorbunny got scared and quickly saw a pebble and smirked. Using his foot he kicked the pebble around a few times before the pebble caught on fire. This was Socrbunny’s way of using Ember. Scorbunny used his Ember attack on Skiddo, causing major damage thanks to her being a grass-type.

“Skiddo, no!” Sara yelled.

Skiddo fell to the ground, knocked out, and chared from the Ember attack.

“Skiddo!” Sara yelled running over to her partner.

Oliver looked down at Scorbunny with a glare. “Why did you do that?!” He yelled.

Scorbunny smirked and stuck his tongue out before running away.

Oliver felt hurt thinking Scorbunny was a sweet but kind Pokemon, not knowing it was mischievous. He tried to go after it, but stopped seeing Sara tear up over her Skiddo being defeated.

Lewis put his hand on Sara’s shoulder causing her to look up at her friend. “Darling, we have to get back to my house.” He said. “My mom can treat Skiddo.”

Sara sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes, and nodded. She grabbed Skiddo’s Pokeball and put Skiddo back in. “Let’s hurry!” Sara exclaimed.

“Right.” Her friends replied. The four and their Pokémon rushed back to Lewis’s house to get Skiddo treated.

Once seeing the Dream Quartet leave, Scorbunny showed some guilt for what he did to Skiddo. However, it shook it off and walked away continuing to kick around a pebble.

Can A Human Date A Merman Chap. 2-Back to School

Next chapter of my Mermaid AU! I’m happy you guys are enjoying this lovely fanfic! Sorry for the delay of Chapter 2 it was in my backlog for a couple of months, but its here and ready to go!

I’m also posting this the night before I go on vacation, and I’m STILL not packed yet!!

Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.

Enjoy!

Ever since meeting Wiatt, Lewis would stop by the beach every day just to see him. From there, they share stories about their day, or in Wiatt’s case his adventures and treasure hunts. When school started for Lewis he talked about his day as well as his two best friends. 

It was like that for the next 8 years, and during those times together the two got closer, which made the merman start to have feelings for the human boy.

He didn’t want to wait any longer. Wiatt was ready to tell Lewis how he felt about him, and hopefully, he’d like him back.

By late afternoon, Lewis visited Wiatt for one of their daily visits. He looked back to make sure no one was following behind and once it was clear he kept walking till he made it to his and Wiatt’s secret meeting place.

Lewis smiled seeing Wiatt, who was waiting for him. The merman smiled, “Lewis!” He beamed as he swam closer to the shore as Lewis went over to his friend.

“Hi darling,” Lewis replied.

“I was wondering when you’ll arrive!”

“Yeah sorry,” Lewis said, rubbing the back of his head. “I had to prepare for school tomorrow.”

Wiatt sighed, “Back to school tomorrow, huh?” He asked.

Lewis nodded, “yep, so back to limited meetups again.” He sighed. Lewis sat down and took off his flip-flops and dipped his feet in the water.

The merman gave a small smile and put his hand on his human friend’s lap. “Hey if we did that for 8 years we’ll make it through,.” Wiatt said.

Lewis smiled. “Yeah.” He replied. “While I’m gone what will you be doing?”

“My treasure hunt as always, duh!” Wiatt reminded his best friend.

“Oh right,” Lewis replied, chuckling nervously.

Wiatt chuckled back before continuing. “But remember when I told you I’m in the middle of a major discovery?” 

Lewis nodded in reply remembering his merman friend.

“Well, I found the coordinates to one of the treasures I’ve been hunting for,” Wiatt said, pulling out a treasure map and laying it out for Lewis to see.

The map showed the deep ocean and in the middle of it was a blue crystal. Lewis’s eyes widened with how big the crystal was. “Darling, you're going to be hunting for a crystal?” He asked.

Wiatt chuckled. “Yep!” He replied. “I heard this crystal holds the key to what I’ve been searching for my whole life!”

Lewis chuckled. “Amazing darling!” He beamed.

Wiatt blushed and let out a chuckle. “It is!” He looked back at the map, and a frown slowly appeared on his face.

Lewis took notice of his friend’s expression. “You alright darling?” He asked.

“Yeah, just that this was something my father and grandfather had been searching for years before they disappeared and I might be able to complete their legacy,” Wiatt explained.

Lewis smiled and put his hand on the merman’s, “Wiatt you got this! I believe in you!” He exclaimed.

Wiatt’s eyes widened as he blushed. Lewis saw his friend blushing and blushed as well. “Thanks Lewis,” The merman replied

“No problem, darling.” The two glanced at each other as their blushes got brighter and warmer. The two glanced at each other and smiled. However, it was interrupted when Lewis’s mother called for him.

“Lewis! Come on sweetie, it’s almost time for dinner!” His mother called out.

“Coming!” Lewis yelled. He got up and was ready to leave, but not before he turned back to his merman friend. “Will I see you tomorrow after school?”

Wiatt nodded, “same time as before?” He asked.

“Yep.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow!” Wiatt then dived underwater and swam off. Once he was at a safe distance he saw Lewis meeting up with his mother as the two walked back home to have dinner. Wiatt smiled and dived back into the water as a determined look appeared in his face.

The following morning was the first day of school. Lewis was putting on a yellow sweater vest over a white shirt, a pair of tan pants, and light blue and white sneakers. He looked at himself in the mirror and grabbed his backpack, which had star pins as well as a heart-shaped pin that had the gay male flag colors. 

He went downstairs and put his backpack on the chair before going to the fridge and pulled out a loaf of bread and butter. Lewis took out two slices of bread and put them in the toaster and pushed the button to start warming up his toast. 

As it was cooking, Lewis went to the cabinet, pulled out a box of cereal, and went to the next cabinet to pull out a bowl. He poured the cereal into the bowl before putting the cereal back in the cabinet and then went back to the fridge to get milk to pour into his bowl of cereal.

Lewis put the milk back into the fridge, and by that point, his toast was done. He took the toast out from the toaster, forgetting it was hot, which made him quickly put it on the plate. Giving it a second to cool, Lewis grabbed the butter and spread it on the slices of toast. When he was done he put the bread and butter back in the fridge before taking his food one by one to the table and ate.

As Lewis ate, his mother came in all dressed for work. “Lewis, sweetie I got to get going. They called me into work early.” She explained.

“Alright, get there safely.,” Lewis said.

His mother kissed him on the cheek. “Your lunch is in the fridge and I called Mr. Gale to pick you up.”

“Thanks, mom, Have a good day at work.”

“Thanks, my little starlight.” Lewis’s mom said as she walked out the door, went to her car and drove off.

Lewis finished eating his breakfast and put the plate and bowl in the sink. He sat back down and pulled out his phone and decided to play a game while he passed the time. Not long after starting his game, he got a text message from his friend Oliver.

Hey! Getting a ride with Mr. Gale! We’ll see you in a few minutes.

Lewis smiled and quickly texted back:

Okay, see you soon darling.

Lewis went back to his game until he heard a horn honking. He closed the game and put his phone into his backpack, he went to grab his lunchbox, which had that famous Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night painting on it and went out the door, locking it in the process.

Mr. Eric Gale, the engineering teacher at the school, stuck his head out and waved to Lewis. “Morning Lewis!” 

“Morning Mr. Gale!” Lewis beamed.

“Lewis! Hi!” A younger boy waved, leaning over the older guy. The boy was 14 years old with brown hair with lime-green highlights and blue eyes. He wore a bright tie/dye shirt, green pants, and sneakers that had pansexual colors and lime green shoelaces. When he smiled he had braces that had green, blue and purple bands.

“Ridley! Wow, you’ve gotten taller darling.” Lewis said. 

Eric chuckled. “Yep it’s my son’s first day of high school.” He said ruffling his son’s hair.

Lewis chuckled seeing his favorite teacher’s son will now be enrolling in high school with him and his friends.

“H-Hey Lewis.” A timid voice spoke up.

Lewis looked up and smiled seeing his friend Oliver seated in the backseat. The young boy was a bit taller than Lewis, and wore a green hoodie over a purple t-shirt, blue jeans, and black and white converse. His orange hair was tied into a ponytail and he had pale blue eyes.

“Oliver!” Lewis beamed. He opened the car door and sat next to his best friend in the backseat. “How was your summer, darling?”

“G-Great. We adjusted well to living with Eric.” Oliver explained.

“That’s great!” Lewis exclaimed. 

He knew his best friend and his siblings were from a troubled home and Mr. Eric Gale decided to take them in untill things calmed down. However, in the middle of their break, Oliver’s parents just left, leaving Eric in the full care of Oliver and his siblings. No one knew why, but Oliver was fine with it.

As Eric drove the teens to school, the three boys talked about their summer vacation with Ridley explaining how he taught Oliver video games while the latter taught Ridley how to code.

“So what did you do, Lewis?” Ridley asked. “Did you hang out with your mysterious friend Wiatt?”

Lewis’s eyes widened as he rubbed the back of his head. He did talk about Wiatt to his friends, but never said he was a mermaid, rather a kid who visits town every so often as he lives further away from here. “Uh…we talked and hung out, yes, but that’s it.” He replied.

Oliver sighed. “You know from what you’ve told me and Sara about Wiatt, we never got to meet him.”

“I know.” Lewis sighed in reply. “We just haven’t found the right time to have you two meet him.”

The truth, however, was Lewis was nervous telling his friends about Wiatt being a mermaid. He’s read stories, that revealing you’re a mermaid can have consequences, like a tsunami could wipe out the whole town or he and Wiatt would have their memories erased, which horrified Lewis. The worst being is that another mermaid would find out and get him killed.

It sounded ridiculous, but Lewis wanted to take precautions about revealing Wiatt to his friends. He knew that out of all those three scenarios happening, one would be on his other best friend, Sara, who wasn’t a big fan of the ocean.

“Well,” Oliver spoke up, snapping Lewis out of his thoughts. “I hope we get to meet him one day, he sounds pretty cool.”

Lewis blushed a bit, “he is.”

“Ooooh, someone has a crush.” Ridley teased, turning to the two boys in the backseat.

Lewis’s face turned bright red as he stuttered over Ridley calling him out on his crush. “I-It’s not a crush darling! Wiatt and I are just friends!” He exclaimed.

“Sure…” Ridley replied.

Eric chuckled, and gently pulled his son to turn him around. “Alright, enough Riddles.” He said. Ridley chuckled but kept the smirk on his face.

Soon, the four arrived at their high school, and Ridley, Oliver, and Lewis got out of the car. “I’ll be back, gotta drive Carly, and Oliver’s siblings to school,” Eric said.

“Okay! See you later Dad!” Ridley beamed.

Eric smiled and drove off as the three boys were about to walk into the entrance of their high school, but just as they were about to enter, a pink blur tackled Lewis and Oliver.

“Hey, you two!” A female voice beamed.

The girl had brown hair tied into a bun with her bangs highlighted pink, and had old rose colored eyes. She wore a pink shirt, a light pink skirt, and white sandals. 

“Sara!” Lewis and Oliver beamed.

Sara let go of her friends and smiled, “like my hair?” She asked. “I got my caretaker to do it for me.”

“It’s beautiful, darling.” Lewis answered.

“Y-Yeah. When you said you wanted to do something new with your hair I thought you were going to fully dye it or cut it short.” Oliver explained.

“Well…” Sara started. “That’s what I wanted to do, was going for a pink and purple hair, but Celio suggested I start off small, so I did pink highlights on my bangs, and Celio cut my hair a bit and tied it up into a bun.”

“Well, it looks amazing Sara!” Oliver exclaimed.

Sara smiled glad her friends liked her new look.

“I think the pink streak looks like you put strawberry syrup in your hair! And I mean it in a good way!” Ridley exclaimed.

Sara gave a small smile seeing her teacher’s son had joined her friends. “Hi, Ridley.” She said.

“It’s nice to see you too Sara!” Ridley exclaimed. “Man is high school going to be great! We’re going to have a lot of fun together!”

“It sure will be darling!” Lewis beamed. “Now let’s get inside, pick up our schedules and our lockers.”

“Sure!” Ridley beamed. “I’m so excited getting my first high school locker!” The freshman kept talking about how much fun high school was going to be with his three friends.

After getting their schedules and going to their lockers, the trio opened their lockers and put their stuff inside. “So how was the rest of your summer?” Sara asked as she put photos of her and her friends into her locker.

“Mine was good. My siblings and I adjusted well living with Eric.” Oliver said.

Sara smiled seeing her best friend was going to be okay. She then turned to Lewis who was putting a binder for his afternoon classes away. “Lewis, what did you do the rest of summer?” She asked.

Lewis sighed. “Spending time with Wiatt as always.” He said.

This caused the girl to frown and glare. “You know since you “met” him,” Sara said, giving quotes using her hands, “we haven’t seen him.”

“I know, darling.” Lewis replied, putting his backpack away. “But, Wiatt lives far away from here, so he can’t stay too long.”

“How far does he live from here?” Sara asked. “From my knowledge, the beach is all there is. The forest that doesn’t make it to the next town, and that’s like almost 3 hours away from here.”

Lewis chuckled nervously, he never knew Sara would ask that question. The young boy had to think of an answer, but he was saved by the bell, literally, “Oh that’s the bell, c-come on darlings we have to get to our first-period class.” He continued to chuckle nervously as he walked to their first class.

Sara glared and crossed her arms, “he’s hiding something.”

“Yeah, he has a crush on Wiatt,” Oliver added.

Sara’s eyes widened as she turned to her best friend, over his conclusion to why Lewis was hiding Wiatt from them.

Oliver looked at his friend confused as to why she looked at him like that. “I won’t say it in front of him, but he shows the signs.” He reassured his friend. Oliver then went to class with Sara sighing and following her friend behind.

When class started for the day, the teacher went through the basics of what they’d be learning for the first semester. During the rant, Sara rolled her eyes as it was the same lecture every teacher would share with the class on the first day. She then glanced over at Lewis and saw he was drawing ocean life on his notebook pages.

She knew her best friend loved to draw in his notebook, but it was usually his characters or stars, this was the first time ocean life was drawn in his notebook. Sara looked up at Oliver, who glanced over at his friend pointing at their other friend. Oliver looked and saw Lewis’s doodles, but mouthed, “so?” like drawing was new to Lewis.

“So?” Sara mouthed back.

Oliver shrugged and went back to face the teacher. Sara sighed and also faced the teacher as well.

Despite all this, the rest of the school day was normal for the trio. Sara was able to loosen up, and the three friends were able to talk about the rest of their summer.

By lunch, the trio sat at their usual spot in the lunchroom, until Ridley came by and sat with them. “Hi, guys!” He beamed.

“Hi, Ridley.” Oliver replied.

“How’s high school darling?” Lewis asked.

“Great!” Ridley exclaimed. “Haven’t made friends yet…” his voice trailed off. Lewis frowned, feeling bad for the boy. The freshman saw his friend frowning, “but, I got you three!” 

“It’s only your first day darling. I’m sure you’ll make a new friend in no time.” Lewis reassured him, as he opened a container of apple slices.

Ridley smiled, “you're right!” He beamed putting his feet on the table causing everyone to turn to the group. “There’s someone out there who is willing to be friends with me, Ridley D. Gale! And that’s you three right here!”

“Hey, put your feet off the table!” A teacher yelled.

Ridley flinched and slowly did just that as he sat down. The kids laughed at the trio, which made Sara’s face turn red and glare at Ridley, who didn’t care he just embarrassed her and her friends and just ate his sugar cookies.

“Losers as always.”

Sara turned to see a group of four kids, smirking at her. The one who spoke was a boy with brown hair, with the tips of his hair blue, a few ear piercings, and a dark blue t-shirt with a skull in the front.

“Oh suck it, Hayden!” Sara snapped as she ate her sandwich.

After that eventful moment, the rest of the day was normal. Once school was ended, Lewis quickly packed up his things so he could go to the beach to see Wiatt. Before he could leave, Sara grabbed his shoulder stopping him in his tracks.

“Wanna come over to my place, and work on our project?” Sara asked.

“Sure, but let me go to the beach real quick,” Lewis answered.

Sara sighed. “Fine, but don’t be late.”

“I won’t.” Lewis then left school and ran to the beach.

At the beach, Wiatt came out of the water exhausted. He found the crystal he told Lewis about, but from how exhausted he was it looked like someone chased him for it.

“Wiatt!”

Wiatt looked up to see Lewis running over to him. The merman’s eyes widened as he smiled, “Lewis!” Wiatt beamed waving to his friend. He started to swim closer to shore and the two met.

“Hello darling, how was your treasure hunt?” Lewis asked.

Wiatt showed the crystal, which made Lewis gasp in excitement. “It’s beautiful.” He commented.

“Isn’t it?” Wiatt said looking at it. “I got away from him the second I grabbed it.”

“Got away from who, darling?”

“Uh…just some shark.” Wiatt lied. Not wanting to go into details, the merman changed the question. “A-Anyways how was school?”

“O-Oh,” Lewis replied. Wiatt always told stories of all his adventures and treasure hunts with every livid detail. This weirded Lewis out, but he figured Wiatt would tell him later. “Well school was fine, you know my favorite professor I talk about?”

Wiatt nodded, “Mr. Eric Gale, correct?”

“Correct! His son started his first day of high school, and as usual, Sara and Oliver are curious about you.” Lewis explained.

Wiatt sighed, “wish I could meet them.”

“One darling. I just need to know how since well…” Lewis paused to point at Wiatt being a mermaid.

Wiatt looked at his tail and back at his friend and nodded. “Understandable.” He replied.

Lewis nodded glad his friend understood. “Thank you.” He then took off his shoes and dipped his feet in the water, letting out a sigh with how cool the water was.

Wiatt smiled and fiddled with his fingers, wanting to ask his friend something. “H-Hey Lewis. Could I ask you something?”

“What is it darling?” Lewis asked.

“You like me, right?”

Lewis chuckled. “What kind of question is that darling?” 

“Well…I…like you…like, like you.” Wiatt rephrased his question.

Lewis felt a slight blush wondering where this is going, “are you saying you have a crush on me?”

Wiatt blushed. “Y-yeah. I have for a while.” He said. “I wanted to ask you out on a date, this Friday.”

“Y-Your asking me on a date?”

Wiatt chuckled, “y-yeah.”

Lewis thought about it for a second, “could humans date merfolk?” He asked.

“I don’t know, but,” Wiatt paused as he got up closer to Lewis’s face and kissed him on the cheek. Lewis’s face turned red as he glanced at his merman friend, “I’m willing to try.”

“S-Sure.” Lewis stuttered. “S-So Friday?”

“Friday,” Wiatt replied before swimming off.

Once he was gone, Lewis sighed as he fell into the water. “He likes me. He likes me!” He beamed.

Nothing Bad Happens Chap. 10- Founder Tension: Memories

Here is part 2 of NBH: Founder Tension!

Now, I know I’ve been writing longer and longer chapters, however this chapter when I wrote it as Chap. 9 was almost 25 pages long, hence why this one had to have been split. I don’t mind it, it’s just when I feel a certain story could be split, then this is the chance for me to do so.

Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader!!

Enjoy!

Dreamworld closed and everyone went home for the night. Meanwhile at Sara’s apartment, Lewis and Oliver were packing up their stuff, deciding to leave in the morning and stay at their own places.

“Well, I’ll be staying with Eric,” Oliver said, not looking at Lewis.

“And I’ll be with Wiatt,” Lewis replied, doing the same thing. He finished packing grabbed his stuff and brought it to the living room. He sighed and laid down on the couch, tired from the day.

“So you're just gonna leave me here?” Sara asked.

“Yes, you can handle things on your own,”  Lewis replied.

“Fine. If you or Oliver don’t wanna come back to the facility then that’s fine with me too.” Sara said before slamming the door.

Lewis sighed. In all honesty, he wanted to talk it out with his friends, but this argument was the worst out of all of them. Even if he did apologize, Sara would still follow her pride and Oliver is still hurt for the stuff he said. 

Grabbing his phone, Lewis looks through photos he took with his friends from high school all the way to their latest hang out a week ago, at a local karaoke bar the trio go to in secret. Tears came out from his eyes, as Lewis looked through every photo.

In his room, Oliver was staring at the ceiling before turning to the empty bed next to him where Lewis slept. Oliver sighed, he too wanted to apologize, but with how his “friends” are they probably would never forgive him. He turned away from the other bed and tried to sleep.

Sara on the other hand, felt her pride wind down as she lay down on her bed. Her mind was telling her to apologize to her friends. She desperately wanted to, but anxiety was on her mind thinking her friends hated her now.

“It’s all my fault this happened.” Sara cried. “I should’ve never snapped at them. Now I lost them.” She pulled the blankets close to her as she softly cried.

A loud knock woke Lewis up. The founder groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. From outside he saw it appeared to be about 6 am, which was very early to wake up. The knocking continued, and Lewis sighed, putting his glasses on and walking to the door.

“Alright. I’m coming!” Lewis groaned. He opened the door to see a panicked Eric. “Eric, what are you doing here?”

“Lewis! Oh, you're awake! Listen, did Carly come by here?” Eric asked.

“No, I just woke up,” Lewis replied. “Why is something wrong?”

By that point, Oliver and Sara had also woken up and went to the door as well. “Eric. What’s wrong?” Oliver asked.

“Carly! She went missing!”

“What?!” The founder trio exclaimed.

“She said she was going on her daily skating route with Ben and Liz, but only those two came back and not Carly,” Eric exclaimed.

The founders looked at each other with worry. Out of the three of them, Sara was worried the most.

“I-I’ll go find her!” Oliver exclaimed, running to get changed. However, Sara grabbed him from the back of his pajamas which slammed him to the ground.

“Oh no! I’ll find her!” Sara exclaimed.

“Hey! I opened the door first darling, so I should find her!” Lewis exclaimed.

The three argued about why they should find Carly over the other, which made Eric sigh. “I don’t care who finds her!” Eric yelled. The founder trio turned to their former teacher. “Look, I just want her to be found safe and sound. Please.”

The founder trio looked at each other and glared, “I guess I’ll put aside the argument for Carly’s sake.” Lewis spoke up.

“I agree,” Oliver replied, not glancing at his former friend.

“We do this and then we separate,” Sara said.

“Fair.” Lewis and Oliver replied. The three went to get ready and dressed in casual clothes rather than work clothes.

“Don’t worry Eric, we'll bring her home safely,” Lewis said before he and the trio left to find the young girl. 

The trio was going to enter Sara’s car to find the young girl, but the female founder found a note and a red string tied to her car.

“What’s this?” Sara asked. She grabbed the note and read it out loud, “to the founders of Dreamworld. I have captured the girl associated with your company. If you want to find her, follow this red string around town. In the end, you’ll find her safe and sound. If you make it at sundown.” Once finishing the note, Sara looked up at Lewis and Oliver, who were in disbelief.

“Well, that sounds ridiculous,” Lewis said. “If anything, someone wants us to find her, together.”

Sara rolled her eyes and crumpled the note, “Yeah, like it will work!” She exclaimed. She opened her car door and went to start the car, only to see her car was out of gas.

Oliver knew that sound and sighed. “Let me guess, you forgot to put gas in?”

“Afraid so,” Sara answered. She then got out of the car and removed the string only to see it was a long trail. “Well let’s walk on foot then.”

Lewis and Oliver nodded and followed the string in hopes of finding Eric’s daughter.

Eric watched everything and gave a small smile. Once they were gone, Eric grabbed his phone and called someone named Ladybug. “This is Mantis to Ladybug, the targets took the bait!”

“Ladybug here,” Carly spoke on the other end. “Twin 1 and Twin 2 are with the Triple J’s using as much string and photos as they can.” 

Eric chuckled, “That’s good. Also, why do we need code names?” He asked.

“It’s fun! And that Ribbondancer and Ben said for a plan like this we need code names.” Carly answered.

“Fair enough.”

With the Founder Trio, the three continued to follow the string. The walk was silent between the three of them, not glancing or saying a word to each other. There were times they wanted to say something but kept their mouth shut.

“What the?” Lewis asked as he saw the string stopped at a brown bench that faced the playground at a local park. “This is the bench Sara and I would usually sit on after school together.”

“Oh yeah. You’d take photos or make video diaries for your therapist here.” Sara added remembering the times she’d photo-bomb her friend or the two eating ice cream as they chatted about school. 

She missed those days…

“Hey look at this,” Oliver spoke up. The three saw a photograph taped on top of a string. Lewis removed it and his eyes widened as it showed a photo of him and Sara when they were in middle school.

“Hey, I remember this photo,” Sara spoke up. “That was the day you came out to me.”

Lewis blinked as he remembered that day…

Flashback 10 years ago…

It was early in the evening, and Lewis was sitting on the bench crying. He texted Sara to come see him at the park at their usual hangout spot. However, Lewis felt his anxiety kick in and he was scared of what he wanted to tell Sara.

“This was a bad idea.” He said. “She’s gonna hate me, she’s gonna leave me…”

“Lewis!”

Lewis gasped as he saw Sara staring at him worriedly. “S-Sara!” He exclaimed. Quickly, he wiped the tears from his eyes.

“A-Are you okay?” Sara asked.

“Y-Yeah. I’m fine darling.” Lewis lied.

Sara knew her friend wasn’t fine and sat next to him. “Why are you crying?” She asked.

Lewis sniffled as he turned away from the girl, “I-it’s nothing.” He lied.

“Lewis, you're my best-er…friend.” Sara corrected herself. She wasn’t sure if Lewis was her best friend yet. He’s been her first, and only friend for three months. “You can tell me anything.”

Lewis turned to face his friend and let out a shaky breath. “Just don’t freak out when I tell you.” He said. “Just don’t leave me.” That is what he wanted to say.

“I-I won’t. Just tell me what’s going on?” Sara asked, now feeling scared herself. “D-Don’t tell me you don’t wanna be friends anymore.” She thought to herself.

Lewis swallowed as he opened his mouth, but quickly closed it. Tears started to come back in his eyes. “S-Sara. I-I…” He took a deep breath before letting it out, “I’m gay!” He blurted out before sobbing. The boy pulled his knees close to his chest and put his head down.

Sara blinked in confusion. She felt relieved that Lewis didn’t want to end their friendship, but she wasn’t disgusted by it. Her caretaker was non-binary and her music teacher was a lesbian.

“Lewis…” Sara spoke up, reaching out to her friend.

“Look! If you want to leave me, that's fine! I’ve had enough people leaving me already!” Lewis sobbed.

Sara stopped as her eyes widened. She would never leave Lewis over something like this. “Lewis. I’m not gonna leave you.”

Lewis opened his eyes as he looked up at his friend. He sniffled as he wiped the tears from his eyes. “Y-Your not?”

Sara shook her head. “Why would I?”

Lewis put his legs down and sighed, “Well, first off my dad.” He started. “The day I told him, he got mad at me and called me a disappointment.”

Sara was horrified hearing that Lewis’s own father called him that. It was the first she heard about Lewis’s dad as he or his mother never spoke about him.

“He and mom argued a lot and he wanted to get rid of me. Saying he didn’t want a son like me and would try again for a “perfect” child.” Lewis continued. “Luckily, my mom was appalled and we left him. However, that didn’t end there…anytime I told people they would hate me for being gay or just leave me because they didn’t want to be around me. Then I met you and we became close friends, and I didn’t want to keep it a secret any longer.”

Sara was surprised, she could relate to Lewis being outcasted. However, it wasn’t worse than what she did to her tormentors, but still, it surprised her that Lewis was also a victim of bullying like her. She put her arm over her friend, which surprised him, and rubbed his arm.

“Lewis, after what I went through back in elementary school. I would never bully someone over anything.” Sara started. “I would never hurt or leave you. You're my best friend Lewis Bright.”

Lewis’s eyes widened as he looked up at his best friend. He looked into her eyes and saw she was being honest with what she said. Lewis sniffled and wiped away the remaining tears from his eyes. With a smile, he pulled Sara into a hug. “Thank you, darling! You're my best friend too.” He replied.

Sara was surprised as Lewis hugged her, and smiled, feeling her eyes starting to tear up. She hugged Lewis tight, not wanting to let go. The two let go of the hug and smiled. Lewis felt better and the two friends got off the bench.

“Sara,” Lewis spoke up. He took out his phone and went to the camera app to take a selfie. “Say cheese!” He then snapped the photo before showing it to his best friend.

“Oh picture perfect,” Sara commented.

“It sure is, darling.” Lewis agreed. The two laughed a bit before Sara asked her best friend a question.

“Hey, wanna have dinner at my place?” Sara asked.

Lewis nodded, “Of course darling.” He replied. The two friends started to walk back to Sara’s house, as they did Sara had to bring up something to her best friend.

“You know it’s a good thing you're gay,” Sara said.

“Why is that?” Lewis asked.

“Because everyone at school teases me thinking you're my boyfriend! Which, by the way, I see you as my best friend, not boyfriend.” She exclaimed, giving her friend a playful shove.

Lewis laughed as he playfully shoved his friend back, causing his friend to laugh. The two continued to playfully shove one another until they got to Sara’s house.

Flashback ends

“That day, I told you everything, darling,” Lewis said, his eyes starting to glisten with tears.

Sara gave a small smile as she rubbed her arm. “Y-yeah.”

The two gave a small smile to each other, but quickly turned away glaring at each other, still mad about the other. “C-Come on, we must find Carly,” Lewis said, putting the photo in his pocket.

“R-Right,” Sara replied.

The three continued to follow the string from the park to the local ice cream shop. Oliver recognized the ice cream shop as the one he took his siblings to all the time. There the trio saw another photo on the window and Oliver grabbed it.

“Hey, remember when Ben and Liz celebrated their birthday and no one came?” Oliver asked.

“Oh yeah, and last minute you invited us, Eric and Carly,” Lewis replied.

“It was also the first time we met your siblings.” Sara pointed out.

Flashback: Freshman Year around Springtime

Ben and Liz sat at the ice cream shop, wearing their birthday hats as they waited for their guest to arrive. Ben felt disappointed the people they invited didn’t show up, he didn’t know why, while Liz was optimistic someone would come.

“I can’t believe it! Mommy and Daddy forgot again, and now everyone in our school forgot!” Ben cried.

“We didn’t,” Lewis said.

Ben and Liz looked up to see Lewis and Sara come in with gifts in hand. The two were confused as they had never seen these two before.

“Who are you?” Liz asked.

“Well, I figured if no one showed up. I ended up inviting my two friends from school to your birthday.” Oliver explained. “Liz, Ben, this is Lewis Bright and Sara Covetman, my two best friends.” Oliver put his arms around his friends.

Liz and Ben looked at each other and got up from their seats and went over to the two teenagers. “N-Nice to meet you,” Liz said, feeling shy around the two.

“Nice to meet you too darling,” Lewis replied. He then handed a bag to her. “This is for you and your brother.”

Liz’s eyes widened. She was very excited to open her gift.

“Uh uh. What do you say?” Oliver asked.

Liz chuckled in embarrassment, “Thank you.” 

“You’re welcome.”

Liz and Ben went to open their gifts and their eyes widened to see they got cat plushies with red button eyes. Liz decided to keep the black and white one with a black bowtie, while Ben kept the pink and lilac one with a red bow tie.

“So cool!” Ben beamed.

“Like it?” Lewis asked. “I won some plushies at this local arcade I frequented a few years back, and I figured you guys would like them.”

Liz and Ben smiled and ran to hug the boy who hugged them back. “Thank you, Lewis!” The twins beamed.

“Anytime darlings.”

“Wait till you see my gift!” Sara beamed holding two small boxes. The twins took the small box and opened it revealing to be beaded friendship bracelets. 

Liz’s was blue, purple, and white with candy-shaped beads, and a blue lollipop polymer clay charm in the center.

Ben’s bracelet was pink, purple, and white also with candy-shaped beads and a pink lollipop clay charm in the center.

“Miss Sara, did you make this?” Liz asked, looking at the older girl. 

Sara nodded. “My caretaker got me into crafting as a pastime from stress.” She explained.

Liz and Ben put on their bracelets and smiled at the older girl. They too ran to her and hugged her. “Thank you, Miss Sara!” Ben and Liz beamed.

Sara chuckled and hugged the twins back. “You two are sweet!” She replied.

Oliver and Lewis smiled seeing how good Sara was with the twins.

Soon the door to the ice cream shop opened and Eric and a 7-year-old Carly. The two each held a gift in hand.

“Mr. Gale?” Oliver exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”

“Well, I overheard your conversation yesterday during class, and I figured Carly and I would come by and celebrate.” Eric explained.

“I gave him the address to this place. You’re welcome.” Sara beamed.

Oliver smiled and let out a chuckle.

“I’m guessing these are your twin siblings, Benjamin and Elizabeth?” Eric asked.

“Just Ben.” Ben corrected.

“Just Liz.” Liz corrected.

“Sorry. Well, Carly and I got you both something.” Eric said, handing the gift boxes to Liz and Ben.

When Liz got her gift box from Carly, she saw the girl had a bracelet made of flowers. “That looks pretty.” She commented.

“Thank you,” Carly replied.

Liz chuckled and went to open her gift, and her eyes widened when she saw she got one of those flocked animal playsets. She’d been wanting one forever, but her parents always said no.

“How did you know I wanted this?” Liz asked.

“Well…a certain older brother hinted it to us,” Eric answered as he eyed his student.

Oliver blushed in embarrassment letting out a chuckle.

Ben went and opened his gift and saw it was a plush of a rabbit. He then pressed the button and saw the rabbit give a creepy face. He let out a chuckle, “Guess Oliver told you I wanted this too!” He beamed.

“I thought Oliver was joking, but no he says you love creepy stuff,” Eric explained.

Ben and Liz looked at their older brother and smiled. Bits of tears appeared in their eyes, “thank you Oliver.” Ben said, hugging his brother.

“This is the best birthday ever!” Liz exclaimed, hugging her brother as well.

Oliver smiled and hugged them back, “Anything for you two.”

Flashback ends:

“You truly are a good brother, darling,” Lewis said.

Oliver smiled, “T-thanks Lewis.”

Lewis and Oliver realized they were both smiling, but it was hard to glare at one another, instead, guilt rushed through their faces. Even Sara felt guilty for being so rough on her friends.

“Come on, we need to find Carly,” Sara said, continuing to find the young girl. Lewis and Oliver nodded and held on to the photos as they continued to follow the string.

While following the string, Lewis, Oliver, and Sara found more photos of their time growing up and hanging out together. It made them share a laugh, but not before frowning thinking they’ll never have this kind of friendship again.

After grabbing another photo of the trio celebrating Sara’s birthday, Olive froze seeing two of their co-workers; Lisa and Pen.

“Lisa?! Pen?!” Oliver exclaimed.

Lewis and Sara turned to see their two co-workers, as the latter froze and turned as they ran off. Lewis, Sara and Oliver looked at each other and realized a conspiracy was going on.

Meanwhile, Carly, Ben, Liz, and the Walker Triplets finished the last of the string and tied it up to a tree before running back to Wiatt. He and the rest of the group were back at the park and setting up a surprise for Lewis and the others.

“Okay, I finished the string and placed enough photos for them as a distraction,” Carly reported to the mechanic.

“Perfect!” Wiatt exclaimed. “We’re just about done, and if anything Pen and Lisa would distract Lewis and his friends if anything.”

“We’re done here, Wiatt!” Eric exclaimed.

“They're gonna love it!” Franny sang.

Wiatt gave a thumbs up as rustling was heard in the bushes. The group turned to see Pen and Lisa coming in and trying to catch their breath.

“We need to hide now!” Pen exclaimed.

“They are coming and I think they saw us,” Lisa explained.

“Quick hide!” Wiatt exclaimed to everyone as they hid in the bushes and trees.

Soon enough, Lisa and Pen were right as Lewis and his friends came by here. “Uh…could’ve sworn Pen and Lisa passed by here,” Oliver said.

“And why did the string lead us to some picnic?” Sara asked.

“I don’t know?” Lewis replied, shrugging.

The trio saw there was a picnic blanket on the ground and went to sit down, tired of all the walking. “Well, we made it to the end, but no Carly,” Sara said.

“Yeah, was Carly and whoever took her supposed to be here?” Oliver asked.

Lewis’s eyes widened as he glared knowing what this was. “Okay, I think I know what’s going on here.” He said. Sara and Oliver turned to their friend. “I’m guessing Wiatt and the others were trying to make us remember the day we were friends.”

“Best friends.” Sara corrected.

“Same thing!” Lewis snapped.

Before an argument could happen again Oliver spotted a photo on the tree. “H-Hey guys.” He spoke up.

“What?!” Sara and Lewis shouted. However, they eased up when they saw the photo. The three went over to it and their eyes widened recognizing the photo.

It was the three of them outside at night smiling and laughing.

Flashback: Freshman Year during Autumn

The trio were outside of Lewis’s house lying down on a picnic blanket stargazing. The trio were having a sleepover and had a night planned with games, and movies, and Lewis decided to add stargazing to the list as the two hadn’t done so.

“Wow, it’s beautiful,” Sara commented on seeing so many stars.

“Isn’t it?” Lewis replied. “One day I want to move from the town into the woods so I can see all the stars, not just from my yard, but all the stars painted in the sky.”

Sara chuckled, “Is that why you want to live in the woods?” She asked.

“Indeed,” Lewis replied as the two shared a laugh.

Oliver smiled and chuckled, he wasn’t sure what to say as he had just recently befriended Lewis and Sara, and he didn’t know them as much.

“Are you enjoying the stars, Oliver?” Sara asked.

“Huh?” Oliver asked. “I- oh yeah! I am!” He replied, chuckled.

Lewis and Sara smiled glad their new friend was enjoying his time. Soon something caught the corner of Lewis’s eye. He turned and saw shooting stars, he gave a wide smile.

“Darlings look!” Lewis exclaimed.

Sara and Oliver turned and were in awe of the shooting stars. The three watched in excitement until something clicked in Sara’s mind.

“Hey, we should make wishes!” Sara exclaimed, putting her hands together and closing her eyes as she made her wish.

Lewis nodded and put his hands together as he made his wish. Oliver looked at his two friends and did the same thing.

Sara was done making her wish and turned to her friends. “Lewis,” she spoke up. Lewis opened his eyes and turned to his friend. “Is the whole if I tell you my wish it won’t come true saying true?”

“I don’t know darling,” Lewis answered. “But it wouldn’t hurt sharing it.”

Sara smiled, “Well I wished Dreamworld would be a success!” She exclaimed.

“I wish the boy I’ve been talking to would date me,” Lewis revealed.

The two turned to Oliver, who opened his eyes and looked at his friends. He made his wish but felt embarrassed sharing it. “W-Well…” Oliver started, still feeling nervous about his wish.

“If you don’t want to tell us, that’s fine,” Sara reassured him.

“N-No I want to say it!” Oliver exclaimed. He took a deep breath and looked at his two friends. “I wish the three of us are best friends forever.”

Lewis and Sara’s eyes widened at their new friend’s wish. Oliver’s eyes widened as he blushed in embarrassment as he admitted his wish in front of his friends.

“I-I mean! I know we're friends, but I never had friends before except my twin siblings. Y-You guys are the first best friends I ever had and I…and I…” Oliver sobbed. He just admitted everything in front of his two friends, and the anxiety overwhelmed him.

Then, Oliver felt two pairs of arms hug him, stopping him from crying. He looked and saw Sara and Lewis hugging him tight.

“Darling, since you joined the group you’ve always been our best friend,” Lewis said.

Oliver’s eyes widened.

“The three of us have all been through the same thing. Being alone, and just felt like an outcast.” Sara added. “That’s why our goal for Dreamworld is to never have anyone go through what we went through.”

Oliver sniffled and wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled. “T-Thanks guys, you two mean so much to me, and I’m glad you're both my best friends!” He beamed hugging them tight.

Sara and Lewis chuckled and hugged their friend back. Oliver then smiled and holding his friends pulled them down on the blanket, and they all shared a laugh. While laughing, Lewis grabbed his phone and pressed the camera app before switching the lens to face him and his best friends.

“Okay darlings, say besties!” Lewis beamed.

“Besties!” Sara and Oliver beamed as Lewis took the photo.

End of Flashback

The founder trio had tears in their eyes as they looked at one another. “I-I remember that night.” Lewis whimpered.

“Me too. W-We had a lot of fun, and afterward we became close.” Oliver replied, whimpering too.

Sara couldn’t hold back her tears, as they started to fall from her eyes. “L-Lewis. O-Oliver.” She whimpered. “I-I-I…”

“I’m sorry!” Sara, Lewis, and Oliver apologized at the same time. The three looked up at each other in shock realizing they apologized at the same time.

Sara sighed, deciding to apologize first, “Look I’m sorry for being bossy. I’m sorry for getting upset over your guys having a personal life.” She admitted. “I’ve always had you three and I had no other friends, so seeing you guys dating and hanging out with others makes me feel lonely,” Sara wiped the tears from her eyes before continuing, “and I guess I just missed the times where it was just us.”

Lewis and Oliver looked at each other before giving a smile. “Darling, I know we have personal lives, but that’s not stopping our friendship,” Lewis explained. 

Sara looked up at her friend, sniffling a bit.

“Yeah, I mean we’ll have hangouts together, just promise us you tell us ahead of time instead of surprising us.” Oliver reminded her.

Sara nodded, “I know. I promise.”

“Guess I should say sorry for what I said about both of you.” Lewis started. “Oliver, I’m sorry for what I said about you being shy and reserved about not getting someone. I know for sure there’s someone out there who loves you like how Wiatt loves me.”

Oliver smiled, “Gee, thanks Lewis.” He replied. “And sorry for blaming you for everything you did to Wiatt, Lewis.”

“I forgive you,” Lewis said. “And Sara, I’m sorry for calling you bossy and a bitch.” 

Sara smiled. “It’s alright. I forgive you.” She replied. She then looked at Oliver, “same with you, Oliver..”

“Me too,” Oliver replied.

“Me three,” Lewis replied putting his arm around Oliver.

The three smiled and hugged each other tight. “Let’s not fight like that again.” Oliver reminded them.

“Agreed.” Lewis and Sara replied. The three stayed in that hug till Sara decided to pull her and her friends down into the picnic blanket causing the three to laugh, similar to what they did years ago.

“Awww!”

The Founder Trio turned to Franny and Pen who were in awe at the trio making up like it was a sitcom moment. However, Wiatt and Lisa pulled their two friends down so as to not spoil the moment. The founder trio looked at one another and continued to laugh.

“Alright darlings, you can come out now,” Lewis said.

Wiatt, Pen, Franny, Lisa, Carly, Eric, Ben, Liz, and the Walker Triplets came out of the bushes slowly giving a sheepish smile.

“Guess you figured it out, huh?” Carly asked, rubbing the back of her head. The Founder Trio nodded, which made Carly sigh. “Well, we didn’t like you guys fighting.”

“Yeah, you guys have been through tough situations and we’re able to resolve them, but this.” Eric paused for a bit, “it was like the lifelong friendship you guys had was gone.”

The Founder Trio looked at one another and frowned, feeling guilty.

“Not only that, you were acting up your old ways, Sara.” Wiatt pointed out. This made the female founder guilty.

“I know, and I’m sorry,” Sara said.

Wiatt gave a small smile, knowing Sara’s apology was genuine. “Apology accepted.” He said.

Sara looked up, shocked but gave a smile back.

“By the way, where did you find the photos?” Lewis asked, taking out the other photos from his pocket.

“We went to Sara’s caretaker’s house and they handed us a photo album,” Liz answered.

“We picked the photos that seemed the most fitting and placed them all over town,” Jake added.

The Founder Trio smiled looking at the photos they collected.

“You guys had an amazing life together,” John said, walking over to the trio and looking at the photos.

“Yeah, we did.” Oliver sighed.

“Think you can tell us stories about them?” James asked.

“Of course, darling,” Lewis replied. He and his friends sat down on the picnic blanket with the kids sitting around them, as they told the stories of each photo.

No matter what happens the three would always be best friends, and nothing could ever separate the three.

Nothing Bad Happens Chap. 9-Founder Tension

The next chapter is here and it’s one of the most angsty ones I've ever written! When I wrote this chapter, it was long, so I decided to split the chapters up into two parts. This here is part 1, and part 2 will be out alongside this one.

Also check out the comic of one of the scene of this chapter I got from @derpygirl-draws

Big thanks to my beta reader @gigilefache

Enjoy!

It was a steady day at Dreamworld, and Sara was rushing through her paperwork in hopes to clock out early. As she did she glanced at the calendar and smiled seeing today was the anniversary when she, Lewis, and Oliver became best friends for life. 

Sara had a plan for the night. She and her friends would go to this local burger shop they frequent, then get ice cream, and end the night with a movie night back at their apartment. Sara was so excited she had to push herself to get stuff done.

A knock was heard. “Come in!” Sara exclaimed.

The door opened and it was Oliver, “h-hey Sara.” He said.

“Oh, hey Oliver!” Sara exclaimed. “What’s up?”

“Um…I was gonna let you know I’m leaving work early.” Oliver replied.

“O-Oh. Why?”

Oliver rubbed the back of his head trying to find an excuse, once he figured out a good excuse he responded. “I have some important business to attend.” He gave a sheepish smile to his best friend hoping she’d believe him. “It shouldn’t be long.”

Sara sighed, “alright,” She replied making Oliver smile. “You’ll be back early, right?”

“I-I’ll try,” Oliver replied. He wasn’t so sure when he’d be done, but he promised Sara he’d try. He closed the door of her office and quickly left Dreamworld. He saw a black car parked right next to Sara’s outside. He smiles and knocks on the car before opening it.

In the driver’s seat was a man who looked a year older than him wearing a trench coat over a pink Hawaiian shirt. He looked like a normal man except his right eye was purple.

“Hey, Damien,” Oliver greeted.

“Hey,” Damien replied.

Oliver looked down at his hands, avoiding eye contact with the detective. He looked up quickly before looking down. “W-what did you find out about the animatronics?” 

Damien sighed. “Very little I’m afraid.” He replied. “I do see certain people’s souls, but it’s very blurry. I’d need to see if someone at the facility has a similar soul in order to match it.”

“Got it,” Oliver said with a sigh. He was lucky Damien got somewhere with how the animatronics were talking. He made the call when he realized how much Starlight acts like Lewis or how LoliPop acts like his siblings, and he got curious about it.

“However, I can discuss what I do know,”  Damien mentioned.

“Okay, what is it?” Oliver asked.

An hour after Oliver left, Sara finally finished with her work, giving a sigh of relief. She looked at the clock and saw she was done earlier than expected. With a smile, she grabbed her stuff and went over to Lewis’s office to see if he was done with his shift and if they could hang out. However, upon opening the door to his office, Sara saw no Lewis in sight.

“You’re looking for Lewis?” Eric asked, passing by.

Sara turned and nodded. “Y-yeah.” 

“Well, he left a little earlier with Wiatt,” Eric answered. “The two of them along with Mike and Alyssa and Pen and Hayden went out to this mini gold place that opened.”

Sara was in shock. Normally, Lewis would’ve told her he’d be going out, but why didn’t he? “Did he say when he’ll be back?”

Eric shook his head before walking to his destination.

Sara was disappointed her plans were ruined. She loved making plans with her friends, but recently it’s like they had plans on their own leaving her all alone. Sara never told her friends about today and wanted to surprise them, but it looked like they forgot.

However, it wouldn’t hurt for her to call and just remind them. Sara took her phone out and called Lewis.

Speaking of Lewis was having fun at the mini golf course with his boyfriend and friends. He felt his phone vibrating and saw it was Sara calling.

“Hey darling,” Lewis said as Wiatt turned to him. “Sara‘s calling?”

“Lewis, just ignore it, besides, she got Oliver to help,” Wiatt said.

Lewis looked at the phone ringing and sighed, “I’ll call her later, besides, it can’t be that important.” He then put his phone back into his pocket as it rang.

“Pen! Hurry up and hit the fucking ball!” Hayden yelled.

Mike chuckled. “Come on Hay. He’s trying.” 

Pen swung the golf club to hit the ball, but the ball went over the hill but slid back down.

Back at the facility, Sara frowned that Lewis didn’t call her back. After his voicemail went through Sara sent him a message, “h-hey Lewis. When you get a chance, call me back okay.” She hung up the phone and leaned on the wall for support.

“Don’t get mad over this Sara. Don’t get mad.” Sara said to herself. She then felt the familiar dark aura of Litho, creeping behind her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She stepped back but saw Litho wasn’t near.

Sara breathed heavily before quickly heading back to the apartment. She hoped Lewis and Oliver would be back soon, hoping they’d have time to spend together before the end of the day.

Lewis was brought home by Alyssa at around 12:30 am. After spending time at the mini golf place, they had dinner and hung out at Alyssa’s apartment for a bit before she decided to take everyone home.

Around that same time, Oliver came home too. “Thanks, Damien.” He said. Once Damien drove off Oliver was surprised that Lewis came home as well. “O-Oh hi, Lewis!”

“Hi darling,” Lewis said, “where did you go?”

“O-Oh I was…I was…” his voice trailed off. “Out with a friend. Where did you go?”

“Was on a date with Wiatt, but it was a triple date with Mike and Alyssa and Pen and Hayden,” Lewis explained.

Oliver chuckled, “That sounded like fun.”

“It was!” Lewis exclaimed. “It was last minute, but we’re planning to do more next week.”

Oliver wanted to ask if he and Damien would join them, but he and the detective weren’t official yet. However, it didn’t stop the other founder from trying. “Think I can join next time?” He asked.

“If you can get yourself a date, darling.” Lewis joked. Though Oliver didn’t take it as a joke. The two made it to their apartment and Lewis unlocked the door.

Oliver and Lewis walked inside the apartment quietly, not wanting to wake Sara up. Oliver closed the door slowly and continued to follow Lewis back to their room. However, the light turned on causing the two boys to let out a scream. However, it wasn’t a robber, just Sara sitting on the couch, and from the looks of it she was upset.

“Darling!” Lewis exclaimed. “Please don’t do that!”

“Where were you?” Sara asked, scolding the boys like a parent catching their kid coming home past curfew.

Lewis and Oliver looked at one another, confused. They told Sara earlier where they’ll be the rest of the day.

Sara sighed, getting up from the couch and walking towards her friends, “where were you?” She asked again.

“Didn’t we tell you where we’ll be tonight?” Lewis asked.

“Yeah, but I was hoping you’ll get done early so we can hang out for our friendship anniversary,” Sara replied.

This shocked Lewis and Oliver. They hoped Sara understood that they had important things tonight, and they couldn’t make it to whatever she had planned.

“Oh sorry Sara.” Oliver apologized.

“I mean we did tell you we were busy,” Lewis added.

“Yeah, but you could have left early or canceled, so we could hang out,” Sara replied.

Lewis and Oliver were upset over their best friend’s behavior. She wasn’t understanding about all this at all.

“Darling. I haven’t seen Wiatt since we left to work on Dreamworld.” Lewis spoke up. “We just got back together, and we have a lot to catch up on.”

“And I’ve been seeing someone,” Oliver revealed. “But, it is your fault for planning this ahead.”

“How is it my fault?” Sara asked.

“It’s always your fault! You plan things when we already have plans, and then complain about it!” Oliver yelled.

Sara glared, “Okay I’ll admit it, but this time was different, I wanted to surprise you guys!” She exclaimed.

“Darling you don’t have to surprise us, just tell us,” Lewis replied. “How are we supposed to know today was special for you?”

“Wow,” Sara said. “I-It’s like you don’t care for me anymore!”

“What?!” Lewis exclaimed. “That’s not true! We do care for you! But right now you're overreacting!”

“Overreacting?!” Sara yelled.

“Like right now,” Oliver commented.

“Oh shut up Oliver!” Sara snapped, causing Oliver to flinch.

“Hey!” Lewis yelled. “Don’t yell at him like that, Sara!”

“WHY?!”

“Because he’s sensitive. It’s like you don’t care for his feelings and push him around!” 

“So? You and I both agreed that Oliver is too shy to get a date!”

Lewis and Oliver’s eyes widened. The latter looked at his best friend in disbelief, as he remembered what Lewis said to him earlier. “S-So it’s true,” Oliver said.

“O-Oliver. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.” Lewis said, reassuring his best friend.

“Yeah, you're lucky you have a loving boyfriend.” Oliver spat. “A lucky boyfriend you left.”

Lewis’s mouth dropped. “Pardon me, darling?” He asked. “I only left because we had to work on Dreamworld, we still kept in touch. Not like Sara and her boyfriend.”

Sara’s eyes widened and her mouth dropped. “Hey, Norman and I were never a thing! He had a crush on me and he…left.” She explained.

“Yeah, because you can be bossy sometimes,” Oliver mumbled under his breath.

Sara’s eyes widened as she turned to her friend. “What was that?” She asked.

Oliver’s eyes widened and realized Sara heard what he mumbled. “N-Nothing.” He denied.

Sara marched over to him, and grabbed his arm pulling him closer to her, “did you just call me bossy?” She asked.

“N-No!” Oliver denied. He looked over to Lewis in hopes his best friend would defend him.

“Well…you can be a bit bossy,” Lewis revealed.

Oliver frowned, growling as he removed Sara’s hand roughly from his clothes. “Wow, thanks for the help, Lewis.” He said sarcastically.

“What, you don’t want me to be honest? Okay, if we’re being honest, yes you can be bossy Sara, and Oliver you're too reserved and shy to make the first move!” Lewis admitted.

Sara and Oliver gasped at what Lewis said about them. “Oh, you want to play that, darling?” Sara asked. “Fine, well you can be so stuck up!”

Lewis gasped, “I’m not!” He protested.

At that point, the three argued and insulted each other back and forth. Realizing this the three let out a frustrated yell before splitting off and going to their own rooms, and slamming the door. However, Oliver pushed Lewis out of their room and slammed the door again.

“Fine!” Lewis yelled again as he marched onto the couch and lied down.

Wiatt let out a yawn as he walked to the facility, early in the morning. Today he was scheduled to come in, and after yesterday he wanted to sleep more. Walking closer to the facility, the mechanic saw Eric also waiting for the founders to unlock the door so he could enter. “Morning.” Wiatt yawned.

“Morning Wiatt,” Eric replied. “How was your date?”

“Fun!” Wiatt exclaimed. “It turned out to be a triple date with Mike and Alyssa and Hayden and Pen.”

Eric chuckled, “I’m glad.”

Soon the two turned to see Sara’s car pull up and the founders getting out. However, the three tried to race each other to the door. Lewis made it to the door first and tried to insert his key through they keyhole before being shoved by Oliver.

“Aha!” Oliver laughed, taking off Lewis’s key from the door, but before he could insert his key, Sara shoved him out of the way and put in her key.

“Hey, move it!” Lewis yelled, pushing Sara aside.

“Don’t push me!” Sara yelled back, pushing Lewis into Oliver.

Wiatt and Eric’s mouths dropped in shock as the trio constantly pushed and shoved each other from the door, insulting one another in the process.

“Woah! Woah! Guys!” Eric shouted, stopping the founders from their argument. “What’s going on?”

This proved to be a mistake as the founders talked over each other, yelling and arguing about why they were mad at each other. Eric frowned seeing that they weren’t going to stop, he whistled loudly making the trio and Wiatt flinch.

“Okay, enough!” Eric yelled.

Wiatt gulped, he always heard Eric was a chill teacher and rarely raised his voice. From what Lewis told him, Eric is scary when angry, and that he’s only been angry twice since being in his class.

“Now, one at a time, what’s going on?” Eric asked.

“Sara’s being a brat because she’s upset, we couldn’t celebrate our friendship anniversary together!” Lewis shouted.

“Plus, she makes it a big deal that we can’t spend time together anymore,” Oliver added. “It’s not her fault she can’t make any other friends.”

Everyone gasped hearing what the taller founder just said.

“Oliver!” Eric exclaimed.

“It’s true,” Oliver replied.

“Darling, that was harsh,” Lewis said, glaring at his friend.

Oliver rolled his eyes, “why do you defend her anyway?” He asked, pointing at Sara. “You know she doesn’t like it when you spend more time with Wiatt than with us.”

“You know you’d understand if you had the confidence to tell someone you love them!” Lewis snapped.

Oliver glared, before shoving Lewis away and opened the door to the facility before slamming it. Sara and Lewis glared, and each went inside the facility and slammed it.

Wiatt and Eric flinched and turned to each other before going in, still seeing the founder trio arguing with one another.

“Why are you following me?” Sara snapped.

“My office just so happens to be this way!” Lewis answered, snapping back.

The three growled before walking away, going to their separate offices, and slamming the door.

Wiatt sighed, “Well, today is going to be a long day.” He said.

“Hey, they’ll make up soon,” Eric said, reassuring the mechanic.

“How do you know?”

“I was their teacher. They’ve gotten into arguments and made up afterward.” He explained.

Wiatt looked up at the hallway where his boyfriend and his friend’s offices were. From the looks of this argument, it doesn’t look like it will be ending anytime soon.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll make up before today’s meeting.” Eric reassured the mechanic.

By the time the meeting started, the founders didn’t bat an eye or utter a word at each other. The three sat in their chairs turned away from one another. Everyone heard about the trio arguing, and the tension between the three was so thick, that a knife couldn’t even cut it.

“Is anyone going to start the meeting?” Lisa asked, breaking the silence.

Lewis glanced at Sara before turning away, while the latter did the same. Oliver on the other hand looked at Sara and smirked, “let Sara start the meeting.” He said in a mocking tone. Sara turned to the taller founder, “After all she knows a thing or two of bossing people around.”

Sara gasped, feeling offended. Most of the employees felt that was harsh, even Wiatt thought so as well despite not liking Sara. Though Hayden gave a small smile interested in the drama going on between his bosses.

Seeing that’s how Oliver wanted to play it, Sara glared at her friend and turned to him, “well,” she spoke up, causing Oliver to face the female founder. “Why don’t you start, Oliver?” She then let out a gasp, “Oh wait, you're too much of a baby to speak up!”

The employees started to feel uncomfortable with the founders arguing. “Yikes,” Pen whispered.

“This is getting bad,” Andrew whispered to Hayden.

“This is getting good,” Hayden whispered back

Now it was Lewis’s turn to speak up, “Honestly Sara, you can be such a bitch sometimes.”

The employee's mouth dropped hearing the founder's curse. Out of the trio, no one, not even Wiatt, expected Lewis Bright to curse.

“Excuse me!” Sara yelled, getting up in Lewis’s face.

“You heard me!” Lewis yelled back.

“Alright!” Eric shouted, slamming his hands on the table. Everyone flinched as they turned to the former teacher. “Enough you three! This has been going on for long enough! Now you can make up like the good friends you are or in your offices till you three can talk it out!”

The employees gulped, showing Eric was serious about this. To some, this was the first time seeing the engineer angry.

The founders glared at one another before leaving the meeting room. However, all three tried to exit only for them to shove and push each other to get to the door.

“Move out of the way!” Lewis shouted.

“No you move!” Oliver shouted.

“You move!” Sara yelled.

Eric rolled his eyes and went to the door and opened it. “There! Now you three go into your offices!” He scolded.

The founders glared and left the meeting room. Sara was the last one to leave and slammed the door making everyone flinch. Eric sighed and sat back down before slamming his head on the table and letting out a groan.

Ribbondancer looked down and rubbed the older man’s back.

“So…does that conclude the meeting?” Andrew asked.

“I believe so,” Mike said.

Everyone slowly got up and went to start their day of work. Luckily, today was a busy day, distracting the workers from what they witnessed earlier in the meeting. However, there were times when two or all three of the founders were in the same room, be it a cold glare or an insult.

Even the animatronics couldn’t do anything to stop them from arguing. Starlight tried to talk to Lewis about talking to Sara and Oliver.

“Darling, you should talk to-“

“No, Star. I’m not.” Lewis cut the animatronic off, not looking up from his computer.

Starlight frowned and decided to leave the founder alone for a bit. As he was making his way back to the Staract, he heard someone whisper out to him.

“Star! Starlight!” Ribbondancer whispered.

Starlight turned as Ribbondancer ushered him to follow him. The star animation nodded and followed his friend.

Wiatt had just returned from fixing some go-karts over at Racetrack, and there he saw Eric, Carly, Starlight, Ribbondancer, Pen, Lisa, and Franny huddled together. “Hey, what’s going on?” He asked, causing the group to look up.

“Oh Wiatt, we’re just discussing about-” Eric was about to say before being cut off.

“Lewis and the others?” Wiatt guessed.

“Y-Yeah. They still haven’t made up.” Eric explained. “I tried talking to them, but they wanted me to pick sides!”

“Starlight and I tried talking to them or doing fun activities to build their friendship, but none of them wanted to do it,” Ribbondancer explained.

Wiatt sighed, “Their pride is getting in the way of their friendship.”

“Pride, jealousy, and forgetfulness,” Ribbondancer added.

“Jealousy?” Eric and Wiatt asked at the same time.

“Forgetfulness?” Starlight and Carly asked at the same time as well.

Ribbondancer nodded, “Yep, Wiatt you're dating a founder, and Sara and Oliver are lonely and single.” He explained.

Wiatt and Eric looked at each other knowing that’s what could’ve sparked the argument.

“Wasn’t Sara dating Norman, the guy from Watchful Eye Toys?” Lisa asked.

“Yeah, but I heard something happened to Norman a month after the facility opened,” Franny replied.

“Also,” Pen stepped in. “I have heard Oliver has been talking to someone named Damien.”

“Oh, Damien, I know him!” Ribbondancer exclaimed. “He picked up Oliver yesterday and from what I’ve heard, Oliver talks to himself trying to ask him out.”

Eric sighed, “Ribbon, what did I say about eavesdropping on workers?” He asked.

Ribbondancer sighed, “It’s wrong and not nice, but it brings up fun conversations!”

“Ribbons!” Eric scolded.

“Sorry.”

“Ribbondancer, what do you mean forgetfulness?” Carly asked.

“Oh!” Ribbondancer exclaimed letting out a chuckle. “Well Sara said something about an anniversary and was hoping Lewis and Oliver could make it. However, Dreamworld has only been open for a couple of months. Why are they doing an anniversary now?”

Wiatt thought for a bit and his eyes widened knowing what the anniversary was. “It’s not Dreamworld’s anniversary, it’s the anniversary the founders became friends.” He exclaimed.

Eric then came to the realization too, “oh yeah. The day was the day they met Oliver and what kicked off their friendship.”

Starlight raised his eyebrow, “that’s why the fight started? Because Lewis and Oliver forgot?” He asked.

“Starlight, anniversaries are important!” Lisa exclaimed.

“Or in Sara’s case, very important,” Wiatt added.

Eric sighed, “I’m going to talk to Sara again.” He said.

“Or,” Carly spoke up, “follow a plan RD and I came up with.”

“What’s the plan?” Franny asked.

Carly and Ribbondancer huddled the group together as they explained the plan. Eric wasn’t sure about it, but if it would stop the trio from fighting he’ll go along with it.

Nothing Bad Happens Chap. 8-Pranks and Recreations

Here’s the next chapter! Hope you had a wonderful holidays if you celebrate it at all. Sadly I didn’t I was sick, but I’m doing a little bit better. This chapter was fun to work on as I give the other Dreamworld characters a chance in the spotlight. Mainly the Acrimony twins, Ben and Liz.

Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.

Enjoy!

Wiatt walked into Dreamworld in the early hours of the morning, humming a tune. Upon making it to the employee lockers, he heard footsteps and snickering. Wiatt looked around wondering if it was the animatronics running around the facility this early.

Brushing it off, Wiatt went to his locker. He put in the combination and opened it only to be greeted by a bunch of water balloons splashing him.

Wiatt spit out some water just as he heard a familiar chuckle. The mechanic turned to see it was his co-worker Hayden.

“What’s so funny?” Wiatt asked, glaring at his co-worker.

“You got pranked by Oliver’s siblings.” Hayden replied, laughing as he went to his locker, “it’s normal for them to pull pranks.”

Wiatt rung the water out from his hat before putting it back on. “Yeah, I can see that.”

“Luckily, they've never pranked me,” Hayden said. He opened his locker and water balloons, filled with red paint this time, fell on him. He slowly turned to Wiatt, who smirked.

“Until today,” Wiatt added as he laughed.

Hayden growled at his co-worker until he heard giggling and turned to see a pink and blue blur running off in the corner.  

Once away from the two workers, Ben pulled out a piece of paper with names, a marker, and used the marker to cross out Hayden and Wiatt’s names off of said list.

“Alright, who is next?” Liz asked.

Ben thought and snapped his fingers. “I know,” he said.

The Founder Trio were setting up for a meeting when they heard a loud scream, causing them to drop everything and run to where the scream was coming from. The trio found a trail of what seems to be blood leading towards one of the rooms.

“B-Ben. L-Liz?” Oliver asked, whimpering a bit as he reached for the doorknob and slowly turned it. 

Once the door was fully opened he and his friends stared in horror seeing Ben and Liz laying “dead” and covered in “blood.”

Sara covered her mouth in horror, as Oliver pushed his friends out of the way to see his siblings dead. Lewis felt sick and stepped back only to feel his back hit something hard. He looked up to see a masked figure glaring down at him.

Lewis whimpered and moved away from the masked man. He tapped Sara on the shoulder. Once she saw the masked figure, she tapped Oliver on the shoulder. He didn’t look up until Sara grabbed his shoulder and turned him to the masked figure. If Oliver wasn’t terrified seeing his siblings “dead” it would be seeing the “person” that caused it.

“Finally, fresh blood!” The masked figure yelled as he raised the chainsaw high.

The Founder Trio screamed loudly. Ben and Liz decided to rise from the dead and laugh. “Aww man we got you good!” Ben laughed.

The masked figure laughed too, removing his mask to reveal it was Starlight. “You sure did, darling.” He said.

Ben went into his pocket and crossed off the names of the founders off the list.

“Thanks for the fake blood Starlight.” Liz said. “Think you could give us the recipe?”

Starlight nodded, “if your older brother is okay with it.” He turned to the Founder Trio and saw they’ve been turned white as a ghost. “Uh you three okay?”

Liz and Ben looked at one another before trying to tap Sara and Oliver, only for the three to faint.

“Maybe you two went a little too far, darlings.” Starlight said, looking at the twins.

“Maybe we did.” Liz replied.

“Next victim?” Ben asked.

“Next victim!” Liz exclaimed, as she and her twin brother ran out of the closet, as Starlight looked on, he had a weird feeling in his animatronic gut.

At Sea Venture, Alyssa and Audrey were inflating the water toys for the kids to play while Mike helped out organizing the pool noodles, and handling a box of other pool toys. As he put the box down, he saw one of the inflatable floating sea monsters swimming towards him.

Mike chuckled, “alright girls, really funny.” He said. Audrey and Alyssa looked up at the young man. “You inflated this to try and scare me.”

“I didn’t inflate that, did you?” Alyssa asked, looking at her co-worker.

Audrey shook her head, “no. I’ve been by your side since we arrived.”

The three stared at the floating device for a bit before the floaty squirted water at them. The trio screamed as the water was cold.

After being squirted with water, the three heard chuckling and saw Ben and Liz leave the scene to prank their next set of victims.

Mike and Audrey glared at the twins, but Alyssa spoke up, “come on guys, they’re just kids having fun.”

“But they prank everyone around here.” Audrey pointed out.

“At least it’s harmless pranks,” Alyssa reassured her co-worker.

Mike sighed, “I guess so Lyss. However, don’t you worry they’ll go too far or someone gets hurt with their pranks.”

Alyssa hugged her boyfriend and kissed him on the cheek. “They are Oliver’s siblings so hopefully he can talk with them.”

“Hey guys.”

The trio turned to see Pen, covered in paint and glitter. The trio’s mouth dropped as they looked at their co-worker from head to toe.

“What happened to you?!” Audrey asked.

“The twins pranked me with a fake cockroach, got scared and I ended up falling on the arts and crafts table.” Pen explained.

“You're not hurt are you?” Mike asked, going towards the Trampoland worker.

Pen shook his head. “I’m fine, just messy.”

Soon the intercom turned on and everyone looked up, “attention all Dreamworld Workers, please make your way to the staff meeting room for a very important meeting.” Sara’s voice rang out.

The workers all looked at each other and sighed as they made their way to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, the workers came by and, from the looks of it, they were all pranked in some way or another. They all glared at Oliver, who looked nervous and covered his face by putting his head down, wanting to hide away from everybody

Lewis took notice of his friend and patted his back.

“Okay, you probably know why I called everyone here,” Sara started.

“Because Oliver’s siblings are constantly pranking us.” Everyone said at the same time.

Oliver peaked up before burying his head even further. Sara frowned and sighed as she sat down. “Okay look, I know Oliver’s little brother and sister can be a pair of practical jokers, but it’s not like someone got hurt from them.” She explained, defending the kids.

“Sara, do you remember when Liz and Ben played that scary one car video in replacement of your slides from one of our meetings?” Lisa reminded her boss. “We had few workers who went into panic attacks!”

“B-But I did scold my siblings about that.” Oliver added, as he lifted his head up.

“And did they stop with the pranks?”

Oliver went silent and turned away, “n-no. B-But they promised no more scary videos.”

“How about the time they put itching powder on our hats and the roller skates at Rollerink?” Audrey reminded them.

“Or when they filled one of the pools at Seaventure with instant jello.” Pen added.

“Do I need to bring up when they put ghost pepper hot sauce in the salsa dip at the annual employee potluck.” Hayden added.

Sara’s eyes widened remembering each and every one of the twins pranks, realizing it was hard to defend the kids.

“Look guys,” Oliver spoke up. “My siblings can be chaotic with their pranks, but they’re sweet once you get to know them.”

“What we need to do is give them a taste of their own medicine.” Hayden said, ignoring what his boss had to say.

The workers looked at one another and smirked, agreeing with Hayden. Only Wiatt and the founders disagreed with the idea, as Ben and Liz were kids and knowing most of the employees, some would take the pranks too far.

“Do you really think getting revenge on them will make a difference?” Oliver asked.

Hayden was about to reply, but Audrey smacked him in the back of the head to keep his mouth shut. He glared at his friend, who shot him a glare back. Hayden crossed his arms and cursed under his breath.

“If anything, could I at least talk to them first and ask them to tone down the pranks?” Oliver suggested.

The Dreamworld workers looked at each other and nodded in agreement. “I guess that sounds fair.” Lisa replied.

“Agreed, darling.” Lewis added.

Oliver sighed and smiled, “great, I’ll go speak to them right-” Oliver paused as he tried to get up, but couldn’t. “What the?!” He struggled to get up, but saw he was glued to his seat. “Uh…I need some help.”

“Here, we’ll help you dar-” Lewis paused as he and Sara tried to get up from their seats and saw they too were glued to their seats as well.

“Come on!” Sara struggled, as some of her co-workers chuckled seeing Sara stuck.

As Lewis was struggling to get out of his seat, he looked up at his boyfriend, “darling, think you could help us?” He asked.

Wiatt nodded, but as he tried to help his boyfriend and his friends he saw he was glued to his seat as well. This horrified the two co-workers next to him, Rain and Athena. Wiatt looked at everyone, and announced, “is it just me or have we all been glued to our seats?”

The Dreamworld Employees looked at each other before trying to get up and saw Wiatt was correct, they were all glued to their seats. Everyone struggled to get up, cursing at the fact they were stuck. Some fell on the floor due to the struggle.

Outside of the meeting room, Ben was shocked and stared at his twin sister in disbelief, “I thought you were only going to glue Sara and Lewis’s seats?” Ben asked, whispering.

“I was.” Liz whispered back, “but I don’t know where everyone sits, so,” she then revealed the super glue, which was partially empty, “I glued all the chairs.” She then gave a sheepish smile.

Ben looked at the employees still struggling to get up before giving a smirk to his sister, “your the best twin sister ever.” He said.

“I know!” Liz beamed.

The twins decided to go to MadHouse and hide from the workers for a bit and play. As they left, Eric, Starlight and Ribbondancer came into the meeting room and dropped their jaws seeing everyone struggling to get out of their seats.

“Eric, help us!” Lewis yelled.

“Let me guess, Liz and Ben?” Ribbondancer asked.

“YES!” Everyone yelled.

Ribbondancer chuckled, “looks like they put you guys in a…sticky situation.”

The Dreamworld Employees groaned, not in the mood for one of Ribbondacner’s puns. Not even Eric and Starlight were amused.

“Ribbondancer, please read the room,” Starlight told him.

Ribbondancer blinked, “I don’t know how to read.” 

“Star! Think you can help us?” Wiatt yelled.

“I’ll see what I can do, darling!” Starlight yelled before leaving to find something in the theater.

“I’ll help too,” Eric said, as he and Ribbondancer followed behind.

Hayden used his chair to hop over to Oliver, “so what the fuck are you going to do now Oliver,” he asked.

Oliver whimpered as he felt the tension in the room. Everyone was glaring at him wondering if he’s going to give his siblings a slap on the wrist or give them a taste of his own medicine. The taller founder felt the pressure, and sighed deciding what was best. “If you guys want to prank them back, please don’t do anything that would hurt them.” He said.

“Deal!” Everyone yelled.

After two hours of being stuck in their chairs, the workers were finally free thanks to Starlight and the other animatronics. Afterwards, the workers split into groups to devise their plan to get back at the Acrimony twins.

Audrey, Pen, and Lisa were enjoying some potato chips as they watched kids play. Ben and Liz came by, feeling safe to come out and see the workers just relaxing and eating chips.

“H-Hey,” Liz said, “What’s going on?”

“Not much, just snacking on chips.” Lisa replied.

“Oooh, could we have some?”

Lisa nodded and handed a closed can to the twins, who upon handing the can looked at each other knowing they weren’t that dumb. Liz “tried” to open the can, but saw it was hard to open. “Think you can open it, bro?” She asked.

Ben nodded as Liz handed him the can of potato chips and he “tried” to open it. “Nope, I can’t either.” He said.

The twins looked around and smiled seeing their victim, a young man at the facility named Andrew. “Hey guys!” He beamed.

“Oh Andrew!” Liz yelled.

“Yeah!” He replied.

“Could you help us open this?” Ben asked.

“Sure.” The young man took the can ready to open it, ignoring the warnings from his fellow co-workers.

“W-Wait Andrew! Don’t open-” Audrey warned.

Andrew opened the can and out came a bunch of fake snakes. 

“That…” Audrey finished seeing she was too late.

The prank gave him a scare, but he ended up laughing, “good one you two!” He beamed before walking off, continuing to laugh.

At first, Audrey was in disbelief, but was relieved Andrew responded well to the joke.

“Really?” Ben spoke up. He and his sister smirked with their arms crossed.

Audrey and the other two co-workers turned to the twins.

“Fake snakes in a can?” Ben asked. “That prank is so elementary school!”

Liz chuckled, “agreed!” She added. The two gave each other a fist bump before walking off.

Audrey sighed as she looked over at her co-workers. “You two got better plans?” 

Lisa and Pen shook their heads in reply. Audrey grabbed her phone and texted Hayden, letting him know their plan failed.

Hayden felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket, and went to check on it. He read the message and sighed looking at Wiatt and Oliver.

“Well, Audrey failed.” Hayden said. “So that leaves us and Lewis’s team.”

Wiatt sighed, looking at the can of silly string, “Oliver, you sure this prank is going to work.” He said.

Oliver nodded, “this is the one prank I use on my siblings from time to time.” He said as he shook the can.

“If you say so,” Wiatt replied.

The three guys held the cans of silly strings as they searched for the twins. As they were searching, they heard giggling and footsteps which made Oliver nervous.

“Oliver, relax,” Hayden said, “your siblings are trying to prank us.”

“R-Right.” Oliver replied, giving a nervous chuckle. 

Hayden rolled his eyes as he and Wiatt kept walking. Oliver sighed and took a deep breath. It wasn’t long till a prop snake dropped down in front of Oliver causing him to scream and spray the silly string at Hayden and Wiatt.

“Oliver what the fuck?” Hayden yelled.

Oliver looked up and saw Hayden and Wiatt covered in yellow silly string. “Oops, s-sorry.” Oliver apologized.

Hayden was growling seeing his boss had sprayed him and his co-worker with silly string. As payback he then pointed the can of silly string at his boss and sprayed pink silly string at him. Wiatt tried to stop him, but Hayden sprayed it at the mechanic as well.

Wiatt saw he was covered in so much silly string and growled spraying Hayden with green silly string. Oliver ended up spraying Hayden and Wiatt again to defend himself.

Ben and Liz came out from their hiding place with their prank.

“Was that supposed to happen?” Liz asked, turning to her brother.

Ben shrugged, “I don’t know,” He replied, “but it’s nice to see them having fun!”

Liz nodded and the two left their hiding space to go see who else is trying to prank them.

Lewis was passing by to see how Oliver was doing with his revenge prank, but saw his best friend, his boyfriend, and co-worker spraying each other with silly string. He was flabbergasted, but just rolled his eyes and sighed before leaving the boys to have fun.

Lewis went over to the Madhouse and saw Sara setting up their prank for the twins. The female founder heard footsteps and turned to see her best friend. “Well darling, it’s just us.”

“What?” She asked surprised, “What happened with Audrey and Oliver’s group?”

“Ben and Liz obviously.” Lewis replied. “However, Oliver’s group is more along the lines of just messing around at this point.”

Sara sighed, “well hopefully our plan works.” She said.

“What plan did you come up with?” Lewis asked.

“Figured we do something simple, so…” Sara then revealed two cream pies, which made Lewis groan, covering his face with his hands.

“Sara, really?” Lewis grumbled.

“That's all I can come up with!” Sara groaned. “Plus Oliver said we can’t hurt them, and this idea is sweet.” She gave a sheepish smile for the pun she just made, but Lewis wasn’t amused. Sara’s smile dropped as she sighed, “no puns?”

“Nope.” Lewis replied.

Sara sighed, “alright let’s just set up the prank.” She said, handing one of the pies to her best friend.

Lewis nodded and grabbed one of the pies from Sara, and the two made their way to MadHouse. Once there they left the pies on the table where the candy was placed. There they hid in the entrance of the MadHouse maze and waited for the twins.

“When they come and see the pies we slam it on them.” Sara whispered.

Lewis’s eyes widened, “what?!” He asked.

Soon the two heard footsteps and Sara shushed her friend as someone was coming over. However, it wasn’t the twins, but Jake and James.

“Oooh pie.” James beamed, rubbing his hands together. Before he could grab the pie, Jake stopped him.

“Hold on James.” Jake said. “Let’s make sure this isn’t Ben and Liz pranking us.” Using his finger he scraped some cream off the pie and tasted it. Jake’s eyes widened as he took the pie and kept tasting the cream. “It’s good!”

“Really?” James asked. He took the other pie and tasted it, smiling with how sweet it tasted. “You're right!” He then started to break pieces of the pie and eat it.

Sara groaned, covering her face with her hands as Lewis patted her back. Her plan failed due to two of the Walker Triplets taking the bait.

“Hey let’s take this to John! He’ll love it!” James exclaimed.

“Yeah!” Jake exclaimed. The two brothers ran off to go find their older brother.

Sara and Lewis came out of their hiding space, however the two didn’t realize that Ben and Liz were getting ready for their next prank.  Liz felt uneasy about this one though, as she didn’t want Lewis or Sara harmed.

“You sure you want to do this?” Liz asked her brother. “I mean we should’ve done this prank to Hayden or someone else, but Lewis and Sara? Really?”

“Liz, it’s a bag of flour. Not a bag of rocks.” Ben replied. Liz still wasn’t sure about the prank, but Ben thought of something to get Liz into the prank. “Remember, Sara denied you the VR Headset and she let me use it.”

Liz's eyes widened and gave a smirk, “alright, just this one time.”

Ben smiled and used a giant slingshot they got from Ribbondancer, which he got from an unknown source. Liz put the bag of flour inside the slingshot as her brother launched it at the two founders.

A loud poof was heard as a cloud of white smoke appeared as well as Sara and Lewis coughing.

“Ben! Liz!” The founders yelled at the same time.

Realizing the two did go far, Ben decided now would be a good time to make a break for it. “Quick, let's go!” He yelled as he took his sister’s hand as they ran off.

Back in the meeting room, Audrey, Pen, and Lisa waited on Oliver and Sara’s teams to come back. 

Oliver, Wiatt, and Hayden showed up all covered in silly string. Hayden glared as he tried to remove some of it from his body.

Audrey’s mouth dropped as she saw the mess her boss, and co-workers were in. “What happened to you three?” She asked.

“Blame our boss.” Hayden replied. “He got so scared he sprayed Wiatt and I with silly string!” 

“I said I was sorry!” Oliver yelled. “Besides you two sprayed each other with silly string too.”

“Only because Hayden started it.” Wiatt replied as he used a cloth to clean his glasses to remove the silly string from them.

“Oh fuck you, Nicholson!” The janitor was held back by Audrey, before he could do something he’d regret towards the mechanic.

Wiatt glared and wouldn’t mind going into a fight with his co-worker. However, he dropped that thought when he saw Lewis and Sara walk in. The two almost looked like ghosts with how much flour coated their bodies. Their eyes widened seeing Wiatt, Oliver and Hayden covered in silly string.

“What the fuck happened to you two?” Wiatt yelled.

“Ben and Liz.” The two founders said at the same time.

Wiatt went to his boyfriend and tried to brush off as much flour off him as he could, coughing in the process as puffs of flour were in the air. Audrey helped with cleaning Sara off using a towel.

“I don’t get it!” Sara exclaimed. “How do you stop them?”

Oliver sighed as he tried to remove the silly string off him. “Well as Ben got older his pranks got better, now he brought Liz to the dark side.” He explained.

“So what can we do to stop them?” Pen asked.

“You mean what can Oliver do to stop them?” Hayden corrected. “It’s his siblings, he should be the one to stop them.”

The group turned to Oliver who felt nervous seeing his friends and coworkers staring at him. He sighed, but before he could utter a word the three teams heard the twins scream not too far from the meeting room.

“Ben! Liz!” Oliver exclaimed, quickly getting up and running to where the screams came from.

Lewis groaned, “don’t tell me.” He started, turning to Sara. “Another scary prank.”

The three groups followed Oliver and they stopped seeing the twins before bumping into each other and falling on the taller founder like dominos. The group groaned till Oliver looked up and saw the twins hanging upside down by their feet by a rope.

Oliver got out of the pile and went over to his siblings and tried to untie the rope. “Who did this to you?” He asked.

“I-I don’t know?” Liz replied. “We were going to prank someone else, and suddenly Ben tripped over a rope and we both got caught.”

As his little sister explained, Oliver was able to untie the rope, and carefully put his siblings down. “Alright, which one of you did this?” Oliver asked, glaring at his co-workers.

The workers didn’t say a word and turned to Hayden. The moody worker looked offended and stuttered. “Like I would do something like this!” He yelled.

“I mean, you’d be the one who would do a prank like this.” Pen said.

“This would be something Hayden would do.” Sara commented.

“If he did it.” Wiatt spoke up, causing everyone to turn to the mechanic. “Hayden was with me and Oliver since we split into teams, if it were him he’d split off from us.”

Hayden sighed and gave a small smile seeing one person believed him. Even if that person was Wiatt.

Oliver realized Wiatt was right, but it still begs the question who caused the prank on his siblings. “But then who?”

The workers all looked at one another wondering who it was. When they got into teams, none of the workers wanted to jump in the revenge prank, or some chickened out.

“It doesn’t matter who did it.” Ben spoke up. “You guys won. We won’t prank anyone anymore.”

The group blinked in surprise, “really?” The workers asked.

“Wait really?” Oliver asked.

“Yeah.” Liz replied. “We won’t do pranks anymore.” The twins decided to walk off and go to Trampoland to play.

The workers sighed in relief, glad for the pranks to stop at Dreamworld.

“At least for now.” Ben said with a smirk before he and his sister kept walking. The workers looked in fear realizing they were safe for now until the next prank. Whenever that would be.

Once the twins were away from the Dreamworld Employees, they made sure they were alone as a pair of colorful eyes appeared out of the shadows. “Did they fall for it?” Ribbondancer asked, appearing out of the shadows.

“Yep!” Liz replied.

Ribbondancer sighed, before letting out a chuckle. “It’s nice of you two to make your big brother and everyone at Dreamworld feel better!” He exclaimed.

Ben and Liz chuckled, “yeah.” Ben replied. “I love pranks, but we love Oliver more.”

Ribbondancer smiled and scooped the twins up and hugged them tightly. The twins chuckled and hugged the lemur animatronic back. Soon the latter eyes widened and remembered something he promised with the twins.

“Oh do you guys have my payment?” Ribbondancer asked.

The twins dug into their pockets and handed the lemur some candy as payment for his hard work. “Here you go buddy.” Ben said.

“Thank you!” Ribbondancer beamed before jumping off to enjoy his candy.

The twins chuckled and decided to spend the rest of the day at Arcadescape and play arcade games until lunch, in which they planned their future pranks that they plan to drop at Dreamworld.
