“Everybody thinks we are closer friends than we actually are. We were both at Mainz but never worked together. I followed him again at Dortmund. Everybody thinks we are two buddies who share clubs. (...) We are not that close because we never worked together. When we meet it is always funny, it feels like a friendship.”

PART 11
I’m dying
———————————————————
Sarah Marie: Can I ask you for a favor?
Phillip: I would literally die for you, but continue.
Sarah Marie: We need to talk about you starting sentences that way.
———————————————————
Seymour : Good night.
Paloma: Sleep tight.
Amira: Don't let the bedbugs crawl up to your ear and whisper threatening things that make you question yourself.
Emmy: Great, now Paloma's crying.
———————————————————
Lemon: Why do you hang out with me?
Arabella: You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me!
Lemon: …
Lemon: I feel a bit sorry for you.
———————————————————
Marcus: What happened?!
Leo: Do you want the long version or the short version?
Marcus: Sh-short??
Leo: Shit's fucked.
Marcus: Okay, long.
Leo: Shit's very fucked.
———————————————————
Carrie, grinning: Before you were what?
Isabella: Before I was-
Carrie: What?
Isabella: Before I was inter-
Carrie: Before you were interrupted?
Isabella: Cut me off one more time and I swear I'll-
Carrie: What?
Isabella: *makes frustrated sound*
Arabella, nervously: Stop that. Before they hurt you.
———————————————————
Carrie: Hey, wanna hear a funny joke?
Phillip: I only like dark humor.
Carrie, turning the lights off: What do you call a fake noodle?
Phillip:
Carrie: An IMPASTA!
———————————————————
Huì yǐng: Truth or dare?
Sarah Marie: Dare.
Huì yǐng: I dare you to kiss the hottest person in the room.
Sarah Marie: Hey Tanya?
Tanya, blushing: Yeah?
Sarah Marie: Can you move? I'm trying to get to Arabella.
———————————————————
Evi walking into the kitchen and seeing all their limes peeled: Wren, I love you but, what the h-e-double FUCK.
Wren, sipping coffee happily: I love you too :)
———————————————————
*At a dinner party, the guests converse while the host is away*
Gail: So how do you know the host?
Marcus: They were a former vegan, and they bought milk.
Tanya: That BITCH!
Paloma: I pulled them over for money laundering.
Echo: I'm chaperoning their dinner party.
Isabella: They stole a baconator!
Tanya: That BITCH!
Gail: I tanked the store they were managing and they convinced me to quit from one of the only jobs I've ever had. Now I'm living off of unemployment checks and fear!
———————————————————
Leo: I am your king, long may I reign!
Lemon: Well I didn’t vote for you!
Leo: You don’t vote for kings.
Lemon: Well how’d you become king then?
Leo: Alex of the Lake, their arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Leo, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Lemon: Listen. Strange people lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
———————————————————
Lemon: Please pray for Edmund.
Isabelle: What happened to them?
Lemon: Nothing, they’re just very stupid.
———————————————————
Tanya: Dearly Beloved, we are here today to remember Juno, taken from us in the prime of life; when they were crushed by a runaway semi, driven by the Incredible Hulk.
Juno: Aww, you knew my favorite cause of death.
———————————————————
Lemon: Remember what I told you.
Levi: Don’t be a cunt.
———————————————————
Isabella: Oh god, they texted you ‘hi.’’ punctuation only means one thing, Seymour . They're mad at you.
Seymour : No, it's Evi. They're just being gramatically correct!
*meanwhile*
Evi: And then I used a period so they'd know that I'm mad at them.
Lemon: A period doesn't say 'I'm mad', it says 'you're dead to me'.
Evi: I stand by my choice.
———————————————————
Shapeshifter: *transforms to look like Lemon*
Lemon: Okay, are you like BLIND? You look nothing like me. First off, I'm way taller. Secondly, I DO NOT look so sleep deprived and lastly, if you could drag comb through that hair you're like a 7 on a good day and I've been told I'm a constant 10.
———————————————————
Robin: Are you a cuddler?
Julia: I'm a machine of death and destruction.
Robin:
Julia: ...Yeah, I'm a cuddler.
———————————————————
Julia: Reverse tooth fairy where you leave money under your pillow and the tooth fairy comes and leaves you a bunch of teeth.
Edmund: Why?
Julia, shaking a bag of teeth: Just because.
———————————————————
Milo: Levi isn’t answering my messages.
Marcus: Allow me.

Carrie: In love with me the moment you saw me?
Diego: MY ARM IS BROKEN!
Carrie: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.
———————————————————
Lemon: I'm so tired of this life. I want to be a roomba. I want knives taped to me. And I want to be set loose.
———————————————————
Lucille: They... well, I wouldn't call it inheritance per se. What do you call it when you kill someone and get their stuff?
Aria: Um, murder???
Amira: Adventuring!
Isaac: Tuesday.
———————————————————
Calypso: *watching their house burn down*
Calypso:
Calypso: *starts filming* Waddup, guys, welcome to my vlog, today's topic: how to get away with accidentally committing arson because you forgot Spaghetti O's cans are metal and thus non-microwavable! Step one: deny everything.

Friend, it's been a while. You have been missed.
How have you been kind to yourself recently? 💜
I also want to ask for some book recs from you (could be old, new, a favourite or a pleasant surprise) as I'm hoping to venture back into reading fiction but am very wary of all the booktok/bookstagram sensations. What books/authors does PR love and would want others to read and enjoy as well?
I'm also wary of booktok/bookstagram/booktwt sensations, though I did really love A Song of Achilles and cried absolute rivers at the end. I loved The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen, which won, I think deservedly, this year's Pulitzer. It's exactly the sort of super dry nonsense I love, and I found it hilarious, but it won't be for everyone. Also don't read if you'll be offended by someone dragging the Netanhayu family. I've just picked up Dumb Luck by Vu Trong Phung (sorry for the lack of diacritics!) and am super excited to dig into it. Also Isabel Yap's short story collection Never Have I Ever, just listed as a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, which is awesome because she's lovely and super talented and deserves nice prizes. Is this good?? I'm so self-conscious about my reading taste, my reading for pleasure is like, 19th century Russian doorstoppers, satirical literary fiction, and middle grade fantasies about ghost hunters.

Hi jellyyy hope you’re doing well! Can I request for a canon one with possessive (and slightly yandere) but still fluffy Levi and y/n starting from their childhood in the underground all the way to their life in the surface? Thanks a bunch!
Possessive Levi? Yes, please. I feel like this is so Levi to be super possessive of his lover or someone he likes. He's just lost so much that he'd do anything to protect his lover.
You're mine and you'll always be mine.
Pairing: Levi x Reader
Genre and tags: possessive Levi, friends to lovers, secret love, confessions, slightly stalker Levi, growing up, canon world, happy ending.
Concept: Levi notices you one day in the underground and finds himself rather smitten with you. He welcomes you into his home and looks after you, along with his two friends. Not long after, Erwin comes to collect Levi and take his friends away, but he makes a deal that you get to be put in a safe home and Levi can fund your living arrangements with his wages. As the years go by and Levi is working hard, he keeps visiting and makes sure that you are kept far away from other men. However, things come to a front when Levi drags you away from a male admirer and chases him off. He takes you into your home to hide you, then lets out all of his feelings towards you he's been holding onto for years.
Note for readers: Both Levi and the reader are in their early twenties at the beginning, because Levi is in his 20s in a choice with no regrets. Everyone is of age.
Levi sat outside his home as Furlan was busy on a mission and Isabel was having fun somewhere. Levi was alone, bored and lonely. He watched other people go by his home, then locked eyes with you. You were a cute looking thing with a basket over your arm selling what looked like a bunch of flowers.
Levi waited for you to look at him, then he waved you closer. "Tch, oi brat? come here." He gazed at you and thought you were a pretty little thing that he'd like to get to know. "What is it you are selling?"
You showed him your basket. "Flowers. They're not real flowers, but ones I've made from tissue paper, fabric and anything really that won't hurt or harm people. I also make little toys for orphans and give them for free. The flowers I sell."
Levi picked one up, then looked at you. "They're beautiful, well made and I can tell you put a lot of love into them."
You smiled brightly and blushed. "Oh, wow, thank you."
Levi blushed a little and thought of one word as he gazed at you. Mine. He put his hand in his pocket, then pulled out some gold coins and handed them over. "Here."
You took them, then counted to find he'd given you a lot. "Sorry sir, but I can't take all this. This is too much."
Levi closed your hand tightly. "You deserve it."
You smiled a little. "Thank you, sir. I really can't. I could be attacked on my way home."
He frowned a little. "Have you been attacked before?"
You gulped hard. "A few times. I hold my own with my knife, but I lose my money."
Levi hummed. "Have you been hurt?"
You nodded. "A few punches and knife cuts, but that's it."
Levi felt annoyed that you'd been hurt. "How about I offer you protection? You got a family?"
You blushed, then shook your head. "N-No one. I'm alone."
He hummed. "Well, you should join me and my friends. I'll give you protection and you have a house to live in."
You looked at the house behind him. "Really? You mean it?"
He jumped off his perch and walked right up to you. "Take me to where you live and I'll help you pack. My name is Levi."
You gave him your name. "I've heard about you. You're well known around here. Yes, I want to move in here. You're amazing and I know I'll be safe with you."
Levi grabbed your basket from you. "I'll place this inside my home. Wait for me."
You nodded, then sat down and waited for Levi. You placed your hand on your chest as it raced a little. You couldn't believe such a handsome was talking to you and wanting to protect you. Levi was so well known in the underground. You knew you could be safe with him, but he did make you a little flustered.
Levi stopped and gazed at you for a moment as you sat waiting for him. He admired you and thought about getting you some pretty dresses. He walked down, then grabbed your hand and pulled you along. "Let's go."
You stumbled along after him. "O-Okay, but umm my place is that way."
Levi stopped causing you to bump into him, then he pulled you along where you told him. He got to your home and saw it was just a one-room shack. You'd kept it clean and tidy, but he felt sorry that you were living in such a bad place. He helped you pack up everything into just one bag. He took you back to his place, then gave you his room.
You blushed as you looked around his room. "I couldn't possibly take your room."
Levi shrugged. "I barely sleep. Besides, you can't fight like my friends and I can. So, I have to keep you close and protect you. I won't do anything to you if I do share the bed with you. I promise."
"I trust you."
He cleared his things off his desk. "Use this desk to make your flowers. I'll help you sell them."
You sat down at the desk, the smiled at him. "Thank you so much."
"Happy to help."
You nibbled your lip, then started working. You made a perfect and beautiful lily of the valley. You walked into the main room to see Levi had his friends over. You blushed a little, then walked over to Levi. "H-Hello." You introduced yourself. "Lovely to meet you."
Isabel grinned. "I'm Isabel!" She hugged you. "Welcome. Levi's told us all about you."
Furlan offered his hand. "Furlan, and yeah he's told us all about you."
You smiled. "I hope am not a disappointment."
Isabel shook her head. "No! I'm so happy there's another girl here." She eyed your hands. "What have you got there?"
You looked at the flower. "Lily of the valley. It means happiness." You handed them over to Levi. "I made them as a thank you." You blushed a little. "Thank you for helping me. I look forward to being part of your family here."
Levi played with the flower and smiled. "Thanks." Levi watched you walk away, then he looked to his friends to see they were both grinning. "Shut up, both of you. I don't want to hear it."
Levi would keep an eye on you and go into your room a few times just to check on you and make sure you were okay. He sold the flowers for you and made you a lot of money. He kept you away from any guy that got close to you. He wanted you to be his and only his.
He entered your room, then leaned against the door frame as he watched you. He smiled as you hummed to yourself and made a little bear. He walked over when you yelped a little. He grabbed your hand, then inspected to see you'd pricked yourself. "Poor brat."
You smiled at him. "It's nothing really. I do it often."
He crouched down next to you. "Well, that's not good."
"It comes with the job."
"Maybe you should do something less dangerous." He massaged your hand and hummed. He pressed his lips against your hand. "What do you think?"
You frowned a little. "This job isn't dangerous at all."
"It is."
You sighed. "It isn't."
He looked at your table of things. "Teach me and then I'll decide."
You gave him a few things, then started teaching him. You watched him make a bear, but it wasn't perfect. He messed up some stitches here and there, but he did it with love in his heart for you.
Levi sighed as he looked at what he'd made. "It's shit."
You took the small floppy bear from him. "I think it's cute. I love it." You smiled at the bear. "Can I keep him?"
Levi blushed, then nodded. "Tch, sure."
You leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You sat in your new house feeling a little lonely. Erwin had arrived out of nowhere after you being with Levi and his friends for six months. As soon as Levi was taken, he asked for you to come as well. You were asked to pack, then you were taken up top and placed in a cute cottage with a large garden. You were happy and excited for your home, but because Furlan and Isabel had passed away you felt very alone because Levi was so busy.
You finished cleaning your cottage the way Levi had taught you, then you grabbed your toy and flower making things and sat in your garden at the nice table. You had a little business going of selling your handmade things. You'd make a few, then a delivery person would come and collect them from you and give them to the people you made them for. You liked how things ran, because Levi had set it all up for you.
You let out a long sigh, then put your things down. You stared at the bear Levi had made you a few years back and smiled. You picked it up, then hugged it against you. "I miss you." You let out a long sigh, then looked down the path to see someone on a horse getting closer. "I'm not expecting anyone." You stood up when you realised who it was. "Levi!"
Levi rode over, then jumped off his horse and hitched them to your garden fence. "Hey brat."
You boucned up and down. "Hi!"
He walked into your garden with a few bags. "I hope you don't mind, but we've got no missions for a while and I've asked for some time off. So, you have me for about two or three months."
You squealed, then ran and jumped into Levi's arms. "Yay! I'm so glad!" You kissed his cheek making him blush hard. You jumped down, then reached for a bag. "Let me help with them."
Levi lifted the bags. "I've got this."
You huffed. "Fine, but I'm stronger than you think. Finley has been teaching me to be stronger."
Levi clenched his jaw, then glared at you. "Who the fuck is Finley?"
You let him into your cottage, then led him to your bedroom. "My friend. I love Finley."
He slammed his bags down. "I want to meet this Finley, now."
You smiled at Levi. "Sure. They're due to come over soon. Let me get you a cup of tea." You ran to your kitchen and shouted to him. "I went into town and bought a selection of teas. I knew you'd come to visit me at some point." You turned your head to see Levi was right next to you. You smiled at him with a light blush. "So I got as many nice teas as possible."
He eyed the tea. "You went into town? It's not safe to go there, I've told you that."
You handed him a cup. "Relax Levi, I went with Finley."
Levi's eye twitched. "Right."
You hummed a laugh. "Oh, so what about you? How have you been? You killed many titans?" You gasped and touched his face and arms. "Are you hurt? Did you get injured."
Levi smiled at you and forgot about his possessiveness. "I'm alright. I've been told I'm humanities strongest."
"I saw in the paper!" You ran around. "Where is it?" You grabbed a book, then opened it and smiled. "Here it is."
Levi looked at the book and felt his heart flutter. "You've kept a scrapbook of things on me?"
You nodded and showed him a few more pages. "Yeah. I miss you and I'm proud of you." You gasped. "Will you sign it?"
"Sure. You got a pen?"
You grabbed one from the table and handed it over. "All yours. I'm just going to pop out and grab my things."
"Okay."
You ran outside and gathered all your sewing things, then stopped when you saw Finley. You waved at her. "Hi, Finley!"
She waved to you and walked over with a bag. "Hey beautiful. I got some treats for you."
"Aww, thank you." You let her in, then walked with her to your house. "Oh, Levi is around. I'm so excited for you two to meet." You opened your door. "Levi! Finley is here."
Levi got ready to rip into a guy, but he was met with a buff looking woman and realised that Finley was a gender neutral name. "Finley, right. Hello, I'm Levi. Thank you for looking after the brat."
She shook Levi's had. "It's been a pleasure. She's a lovely girl and speaks so highly of you."
Levi blushed as he looked over at you. "Does she?"
You nodded. "Of course! Why wouldn't I?"
Finley looked between you and Levi, then place the bag on the side. "Well, I was just here to drop off some treats. I'll head out now. Love you."
You hugged her. "Bye." You turned to Levi and smiled. "I need to get to work with my things. Help yourself to anything."
Levi watched you sit at your dining room table and go right to work. He couldn't believe how beautiful you were and how grown up you were as well. He just wanted to kiss you. He walked over, then sat at the table and gazed at you as you worked hard.
Levi reached over and took your hand. "Careful. You'll prick yourself again."
You hummed a laugh. "You're observant. It's like you watch me a lot."
"Because I do." He kissed your hand. "I missed you. I thought about you a lot while I was away."
"I did too. I thought about you a lot." You sighed. "Oh! I made you something."
"Oh?"
You nodded and handed him a little box. "Ta-da!"
He opened the box to see a cravat engraved with a lily of the valley. "It's beautiful and perfect. Thank you."
"You don't have to wear it on missions, but I thought it'd be nice for you to wear now and then."
Levi pulled his cravat off, then replaced it with your one so the flower was right in the perfect spot for all to see. "I'll cherish it."
You smiled at him. "You're all I've got left, so be careful."
"Promise."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Levi woke up one morning in your bed, then let out a long sigh. He looked over to your side of the bed and saw you missing. He got up for the day, then ruffled his messy bead hair. He strained his ears to listen for you and heard you giggling.
He jumped out of bed with just his PJ bottoms on, then ran into your living room and listened again. He opened the front door to see you laughing at a man. "Tch, oi!"
You turned to Levi and smiled. "Morning Levi!"
"Who the fuck is that?"
You smiled. "This is Jim. He's the delivery guy for me now and then. My usual is having her baby! Cute, right? So Jim has taken over for Helga."
Jim smirked at Levi. "Levi Ackerman, huh? I've always wanted to meet the great Captain. I never expected him to be so...disappointing."
You frowned. "What? He's wonderful."
"He's short, not good looking and has squinty eyes. You deserve better."
You gasped. "He's wonderful and the perfect size. Don't be an asshole." You yelped when Levi punched Jim to the floor. "Levi!"
Levi pointed at Jim. "Back the FUCK off you piece of shit. I know men like you. You woo women to fuck them then you leave."
Jim got up. "She ain't worth my time. The stupid ugly bitch. You deserve each other!"
You pouted, then grabbed a rock and threw it at him. "Get out of here you asshole!"
Levi grabbed your arm, then dragged you inside your house. "This is exactly why I told you to stay away from guys!" He slammed the door closed. "They're all pieces of shit!"
You whined a little. "I know, but how am I going to find a partner if I am shut off from all the guys?"
He paced and panted. "You're not dating anyone."
"Levi."
He turned to you, then shoved you against your door and kissed you roughly. He pulled back and panted. "You're mine and you've always been mine."
You blushed and felt your heart race. "Levi."
He kissed you again, then nipped your lip and pushed his tongue into your mouth. You wrapped your arms around him and clung so tightly. You hummed and moaned as how passionately his tongue massaged yours. You felt breathless. Levi felt like he was tasting heaven. All the years of yearning for you and dreaming up what it'd be like to have you was coming true. You tasted so much better than he could ever imagine.
He pulled back from your lips, but held you close. He spoke in a lust filled voice, deep and husky. "You're mine. I won't let anyone else have you. I love you and only I have ever loved you so deeply and passionately."
You smiled at him. "You're mine too. I love you too Levi. I've loved you for a long time, but I didn't think you liked me that way. I thought I was like a sister to you because of how protective you were of me, but it seems it's because you love me."
He lifted you up, then carried you to your dining table and sat you on it. "I've loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you. I was afraid to tell you because I thought you'd reject me." He cupped your face and rubbed his thumb over your cheek. "But now that I know you want me and want to be with me, I will not stop my love for you. I will shower you with so much love. I come at you with raw strong possessive passion. Are you prepared for that?"
You nodded as you felt a fire burn through you and a heat build below. "I want you and only you. I want to be yours. I want the marriage and the future."
Levi smiled at you. "Then we'll have it brat. You and me. My future Mrs Ackerman."

Am i the only one who genuinely doesn't want a Mor (and Emerie) Novel?
SJM's books are usually very sex based and i just know that if she wrote a book centred around a wlw relationship it would turn out so bad. She already uses loads of stereotypes in her books and considering she's a straight woman herself i just don't see a Mor novel turning out that well.
I think the Emorie ship would turn out much more successful in the background of another characters book (e.g. Azriel's) than SJM attempting to write something that may end up offending a large majority of the fandom.
First of all, I am SO sorry that this has sat unanswered for a million years. I struggled how to answer it at first, and then the universe decided to pummel me in the months since, so I've horribly neglected my inbox.
I have mixed feelings on the issue of a Mor/Emerie novel. SJM has definitely made some yikes choices wrt queer representation, but I do think it's clear that even with stereotypes flying left and right that the rep is well-intentioned.
Does that mean that queer people should celebrate the crumbs of rep that authors give us, even if they're kind of stale and scattered in the background? No, of course not. (Please pretend that that metaphor worked. It's 1 a.m. and I'm in a lot of pain.)
Good intentions pave the road to hell, after all.
But good intentions poorly executed can be worked with. In my ideal scenario, SJM pays attention to complaints about the problematic aspects of her queer rep. She listens, she learns, she puts in the work, and she does better.
That is my hope. Not necessarily my expectation, but it's what I'd like to see. However, if SJM has no interest in addressing those problems and continues writing her queer characters the same way... then yes, I'm with you. Please leave Mor and Emerie in the background, where all of us fic writers can give them the love story they deserve.
One last thing I want to address, though, is that unless SJM has said "I'm straight" (which she may have, but if so I don't know about it) I'd rather not assume that she's straight.
Because making that assumption is how Becky Albertalli, the author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (aka the book that Love, Simon was adapted from) was forced out of the closet. Readers got up in arms over a straight woman writing about queer teenagers, and the only way Albertalli could save her reputation and stop the shitstorm was by coming out before she was ready to. Which is ironic beyond words, considering that the book in question is about a gay teen being dragged out of the closet and publicly humiliated. There are many other examples, some even worse. (See: the Isabel Fall disaster.)
My point is, there are many, many problems with #OwnVoices, and one is how it uses an author's identity to determine who's allowed to tell what kinds of queer stories. Because now that that has become the standard, no closeted author is able to write about their own experiences safely. It also exacerbates biphobia in the publishing industry, but I won't go there right now.
I'm not saying that you mean that. Your issue with SJM and queer rep is obviously that the rep she's given thus far is not up to par. But I wanted to touch on the problems with #OwnVoices because it's relevant, and it's something that matters to me as a queer author trying to get published. <3

Rain and Fog: (platonic) Levi Ackerman x Reader
-i know i only ever post star wars, but now I'm expanding my horizon
-platonic platonic platonic
-if you haven't watched that set of episodes with isabel and farlan (or read the manga) this one-shot won't make sense
-you're his baby sister♡
-imagine being best friends with Levi though (he'd be a total butt)
-i myself don't swear, but Levi obviously will
Summary:
It's rainy, foggy and cold, just like the day you lost Farlan and Isabel. You can't help be reminisce about their deaths.
The rain poured from the heavens in heavy, cold droplets. It pounded and forced the ground to absorb the liquid until puddles ripped through the ground. To (Y/n), a petite, young girl, the puddles could have been mini lakes. Fog had settled itself at the edge of the forest, and if (Y/n) didn't know that HQ was only a mere fifteen minute walk away, she would have thought herself to be lost. Sheathing her blades, she began her trek back. The downpour had soaked through her clothes, leaving them squishy and ice cold. Of all the days to rain, she thought, it had to be today.
"(Y/n)!"
She paused in her step and squinted through the fog. That voice was something (Y/n) knew by heart. It was smooth, yet slightly grumbly and coarse. There was a clear tone of anger as the voice called out again. It was the voice of Levi Ackerman, (Y/n)'s elder brother. He waltzed through the brush and emerged through the milky fog, his hands clenched into fists and a waterproof coat over his head. When his steely gray hues landed on (Y/n), he faltered. Beside her, he saw his late friends Farlan and Isabel. They were smiling at him and talking as if they weren't dead and as if that night in the foggy rain never happened. Levi rubbed the rain from his eyes with a frown.
They were gone.
With a loud sigh, he seizeed (Y/n) by the hand and dragged her through the foggy forest. It was eerie because it reminded him so much of that day. He lost Isabel and Farlarn; it was pure luck (Y/n) somehow survived. A deep scowl plastered itself on Levi's lips. "Do you know how fucking long I've been looking for you?" he demanded.
(Y/n) gently wrapped her numb fingers with his. "I was just about to head back." she replied. Levi didn't doubt her words, but that wasn't the problem. He was irritated that she a, did not tell him she would be out here, and b, would likely catch a cold from hanging out in this weather. Levi pulled (Y/n)'s hand up to eye level. With calculating eyes, he scanned over her nails and fingertips. Little cuts and scraps littered her hand. She didn't seem to mind though, because she didn't flinch when Levi gave her hand a good squeeze.
Maybe that was just because she was too cold.
"Look at your fucking hands, they're blue. Do you know what that means?" He didn't give (Y/n) a chance to reply. "It means you're cold and that you'll probably get sick." The duo reached the edge of the woods. Without the forest's cover, there was nothing to stop the heavy downpour. Levi released (Y/n)'s hand from his and resorted to giving her a harsh shove on the back. "You're already soaked as it is. Get moving before it gets worse."
And so the two sprinted back to HQ in the rain. Despite the waterproof coat on Levi's shoulders, he was not spared. By the time they arrived at HQ, you would have assumed they'd taken a shower.
Levi ripped the doors open and yanked (Y/n) inside. He was angry -- no -- livid that she even thought of training when he could barely make out his boots through the fog. "You're fucking stupid, you know." Levi grumbled. "What kind of idiot trains in the rain?" (Y/n) wrung out her shirt through the open door. She didn't meet Levi's steely gaze as he examined her shaking form. "Hey." Levi barked. "Look at me when I talk to you." (Y/n) continued wringing out her shirt before moving on to her Survey Corps jacket. Levi raised a brow as if to ask himself, 'is she being serious'?
After a painful moment of silence, Levi concluded that (Y/n) indeed was being serious and that there actually was something wrong with her. Levi gently placed a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder. "What's--" He cut himself short. (Y/n)'s gray eyes were filled with unshed tears as she sniffled. They pooled in the corners of her eyes, glistening in the candlelight. Ever inch of her trembled, but clearly not from the cold. Levi knitted his brows together. He wondered if he had said something to offend bis sister, but that couldn't be it. She was a tough one, and even if he did say something mean, it wouldn't have gotten to her like this.
If Levi were still that little brat from the Underground fighting his way to the top alongside his sister, he would have scolded her for crying. As he stared her down, he wasn't so sure if that were the right thing to do. Levi slowly turned (Y/n) around so they faced each other and searched her face for answers he knew he wouldn't find. Maybe something happened today, he thought.
Pursing his lips, he thought back to what he'd seen (Y/n) do and who she talked with. He didn't get far when a sudden thought struck him like a bolt of lightning. It wasn't something he said or an event from today. No, it was much deeper.
The rain. The fog. Isabel. Farlan.
"Ah." Levi muttered. "I get it." (Y/n) sniffled in response, her gaze anywhere but on Levi's. It was clear she didn't want to talk about anything, but Levi had other plans. He wrung out a pint or two of water from his clothes before starting down the halls of HQ. "Come on." Levi called. (Y/n) silently followed, avoiding any following eyes of her comrades in arms. After a few turns, the duo arrived in front of Levi's office. He wrapped his fingers around the doorknob and gave it a good twist. The scent of fresh lemon and black tea hit (Y/n)'s nose. She couldn't help but bask in the pleasant scents as they entered the dark room. Levi closed his door and lit a few candles. Light flooded the spotless room and cast long shadows against the walls. Although they were inside, the loud patters of rain echoed through an open window.
"Here." Levi threw a towel over (Y/n)'s head. He walked over to his closest and pulled out another to wrap around his shoulders. There was a heavy yet comfortable silence as the two dried off their clothes.
"I'm sorry." (Y/n) suddenly announced. Levi raised a brow and leaned against the wall opposite from (Y/n). "What are you apologizing for?"
"I...shouldn't have cried."
There was another silence before Levi figured out what he wanted to say. "It's natural I guess." he replied. (Y/n) frowned. That wasn't something she expected to hear, especially from the mouth of her brother. Levi huffed. "You never answered my question. Why the fuck were you training out in the rain for?" (Y/n) folded her hands together. She ran her cold fingertips over each scrape and cut on her palms. "The weather just had me thinking about...that day." She heaved in a shaky breath that worried Levi. "If I had been more prepared, then they wouldn't have died."
Levi loftily crossed his arms. In a way, she was right. If they had been more prepared for all the rain and fog, then the formation wouldn't have broken. But on the flip side, no one had control over the situation, not even Levi. He himself ran off when he knew to stay together. Because he thought he could swiftly get the job done, he ran off all alone, leaving them with (Y/n), who was only about thirteen or fourteen at the time.
"There was nothing any of us could do." he firmly said. "You were young at the time--hell, you still are. As soon as we started the expedition, we lost control. None of us knew it would be foggy that day. None of us knew there would be so many damn titans." Levi's shoulders tensed and he clenched a fist. All the anguish he stored so deeply in his heart began resurfacing like wood in a lake. A bout of anger followed after so fast that he couldn't remind himself to forget about it like he always did.
"There was nothing we could fucking do!" he exclaimed. "None of us!" He threw his hands in the air. "Do I cry about it? No! Do I wish that I could have done something? Yes." Levi shook his head with a shaky breath. "Every fucking time-- ugh, fuck!" Levi walked over to (Y/n), an ocean of emotion in his steely eyes. After surpressing his emotions for so long, he couldn't find it in him to hide them anymore. Levi found it so difficult because (Y/n) was crying, and she knew exactly how he felt. She was there. She saw everything with her own two eyes. Only by pure luck had she escaped the jaws of a titan and found a nearby squad.
Wordlessly, (Y/n) wrapped her arms around Levi's shoulders. It was quiet, save for the patter of rain outside and the occasional breeze that entered through the open window. The two basked in each other's arms, thankful for the other's presence. Because they had each other, they knew they'd be alright.

Day 100 of Isolation on Tracy Island and I'm writing this as a continuation from yesterday because I didn't have time to finish it then. And yes, before you ask, I am talking to Gordon again, because it was actually quite sweet in the end.
You know what it's been like during lockdown, everything has kinda blended into one longass day? I’ve lost track of dates, lost track of days in general, all they are is a number now, I know this is day 100 but I couldn’t tell you the month. Apparently it’s June, who knew?
We walked in after our little submarine jaunt and Gordon made his announcement. Scott popped his head around the door, looked panicked for a second and then vanished. Two seconds later John was forcibly shoved through the door into the kitchen with us. He stumbled and flailed for a second then pulled himself together.
“Hey, you’re back, I missed you!” he pulled me into a hug but I was wise to his moves and noticed the gesture he made behind my back allowing Virgil to sneak out from behind the breakfast bar and make a run for it.
“OK what’s going on?”
“Nothing!”
“Really?” I pulled back to hit him with a warning glare, just a little one to let him know I wasn’t appreciating the fibs. “Gordon said he was distracting me.”
“Well, Gordon is an idiot,” John shrugged, “I wouldn’t pay too much attention to anything he says.”
“Hey, unfair!”
“Accurate,” I agreed. “But unfair. Now spill it, Spaceman.”
“OK, fine,” he conceded, holding out a hand, “come on, follow me. You too, Gordo.”
He led the way up to the lounge where there was a hive of activity going on. You know in those old cartoons where everyone is dashing around and someone walks in and they all stop like they have been freeze framed, mid activity, just staring at you like you’re a three headed alien dancing with maracas. Which I wasn’t, I can assure you.
“Gahh, she’s here!” Alan yelped and they all came back to life.
“Happy birthday!” they choroused.
“You what now? Who’s birthday is it? Oh my gods, did I forget someone's birthday? Wait, is it August already? I’m so sorry, Virg! I suck! I’ll make it up to you.”
“It’s June,” John reminded me.
“It is? Who’s birthday is in June?” I flipped frantically through my mental rolodex of family rubbish and came up empty.
“Love, it’s your birthday.”
I snorted. “I think I’d know if it was-” he showed me the date on his phone, “-my birthday,” I finished. Dang. “I can’t believe I forgot my own birthday.”
"Well, you have been a bit distracted lately," Jeff laughed.
“We’ve all chipped in to help,” Scott told me, handing me a glass of something blue with an umbrella in it. “Better sip that carefully at first, MAX made it, Brains has been teaching him to mix drinks and he’s insisting on being our bartender today.”
“We have presents,” Alan grinned.
“And I made a cake!” Grandma smiled, gesturing to the coffee table.
“Oh...oh you guys are amazing,” I sniffed, feeling tears brewing.
“Quick, John, waterworks at 3 o’clock,” Virgil laughed as I was dragged into another hug.
“Nope, crying is not allowed,” John insisted, petting my hair.
“I can if I want to, because apparently it’s my birthday,” I mumbled against his shoulder.
The tears didn’t actually last that long, just long enough for me to mark my territory by getting foundation and mascara smears on his shirt. I’m a woman, it’s what we do.
Everyone gave me hugs and someone put on some music to 'really get the party going' although it was something call Gangnam Style so I think it was Grandma, she was doing a very weird dance to it too.
My mum called during the cake, which gave me a perfect excuse not to eat any of it (thanks Mum) and I promised that I’d visit them the next day.
The drinks that MAX mixed were...interesting, mostly palatable, very strong and they led to some very sloppy karaoke numbers that Scott and I started but the others helped to finish.
Someone had managed to get off the island and pick up take out and yes, Alan had been right, there were presents.
It turned out that Virgil had been borrowing my things to work on a witchy tarot card themed painting for the wall of my office, Alan got me a years membership to Cavern Quest (I think that’s more for his benefit than mine) Gordon got me a Thunderbird Four bath toy, Scott bought himself a new hoodie so I could keep his (Yay, but it's bold of him to think I won’t steal that one too) and John unfortunately didn’t get me the kitten or the hamster that I wanted but he did get me a cute little moon necklace and a promise of another present later, so I’ll forgive him.
I’m writing this a little worse for wear and all alone apart from Alan, Jeff, Grandma and Kayo.
We were all slumped around the breakfast table, sipping coffee like it was our life’s blood and trying to force some toast down into our rebelling stomachs, my head was pounding and Gordon was SOOO LOUD.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
“Urghhh,” I groaned, “turn that off. Whatever it is, it’s bad for me right now, " I tried to burrow my aching head under Alan's arm but it did nothing.
“It’s the emergency line,” John answered, sitting up straighter.
“Emergency line?” Scott shot upright too.
“Is this it? Do we have one?” Virgil asked, starting to smile.
John nodded. “Yep. Guys, you’re going to the Bahamas.”
Everyone scrambled, looking so dang happy to be moving again, to have a purpose again, taking off at a run for the lounge and their launch chutes and John to five to coordinate.
It looks like the world really is starting up again even though it is hard to think about. We’re used to being a bit isolated here and cut off from the rest of the world, but this has been a long lockdown and no doubt about it, it’s not completely over, not by a long shot.
We still have to social distance, we still have to wait for a call from the local authorities giving us permission to enter their country rather than just going wherever we are needed, but it’s progress.
This will be my last regular update for a while, it’s been an interesting three months and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing our daily lives with you all in more depth, but now we need a little time to ourselves.
But don’t worry, I’ll still share the best stories with you all, I’ll still tell you all when something ridiculous happens, because let’s face it, it’s us, it’s a foregone conclusion that things will never be quiet here for long.
So, until I have something else to share, here’s a big thank you for spending time with us every day, for reading about our crazy lives and for laughing along with us (and crying with me too). Remember to stay safe, don’t take stupid risks, look after yoursleves and those you hold dear.
International Rescue are never far away, if you need them, just call, any frequency will do, they’ll hear you.
Bye for now.
(( Don't worry, I've loved doing these and will continue doing a diary for Selene as it was such fun. Isabelle did another picture to accompany this one, so here's the latest family portrait))

Jac & Savannah
Jac: Cannot stop thinking about that one dress in that last boutique we checked out though... Jac: so lowkey mad at Isabelle for having to go home to walk her dog 🙄😩 Savannah: UGH I know! Don't get me started yet again on how her mum is literally never there to do anything for it & they don't even have a garden Savannah: I'll go back & get it for you, she can't stop me Savannah: I have less than zero reasons to hurry home Jac: Lowkey like, who do I call again? 😬 Jac: the poor thing, as if breathing wasn't issue enough without having to contend with getting overweight and her mum's vape habit Jac: You're so pure 🥺🥺 Jac: and I'm personally not over seeing you in that one shade of pink like ??? Jac: 👼🏾 walking Savannah: ^^^  the levels of cruelty make my heart hurt, honestly 😢 but I won't get to Heaven until I convince them to see the error of their ways & that is a battle I simply do not have the energy for today Savannah: you could literally wear that AWFUL dress that Isabelle was considering- thank god we talked her out of that much! 🙌🏾- & still look like an actual goddess Jac: Seriously, I don't know how they can live with themselves Jac: that would be their business, because I'm not as caring as you, or even close, but the fact it hurts you means it's mine too 😤 Jac: actually though, would have had to pretend to not know her, oh my God Jac: not to mention how short it was, as well as just hideous...like this is a SCHOOL event, girl, I... 🤦 Jac: it does mean we're scheduled to help her keep looking though Jac: which is becoming a trial, like I'm so sorry to say but wow Savannah: I likewise don't have the necessary reserves to try and teach her the difference between positive & negative attention Savannah: Can Amelia not help her look? I highly doubt her wardrobe is fully stocked with suitable school event dresses so surely she still needs to keep looking too? Jac: That's a whole conversation her mother should be having with her but also needs Jac: sad, really Jac: Poor, poor Is Jac: Meels is a committed outfit repeater, no matter the occasion Savannah: She can't wear jeans to this though Jac: 🙄 I've also tried on that subject Jac: it'll just become a whole THING Jac: us trying to sort both of them out and getting nowhere with our own looks Savannah: 😔 I'm exhausted by their indecision, it's taking the excitement out of it Savannah: I understand that they can't and don't feel themselves in just anything, but it's getting ridiculous Jac: ^^ Totally agree Jac: although us being on the same page is not anything like a surprise these days Jac: it's so unfair, really Jac: they're not even THAT bothered about the whole thing Jac: we've put effort in before this whole step even Savannah: I knew you'd understand, despite feeling like I'm the one who is being totally unfair by saying anything, the rational part of my mind which isn't on the verge of tears as a result of Is' complaints or Amelia's apathy is like no, Savannah, you're not wrong Savannah: it does matter to us & it's allowed to be viewed as important Savannah: not to mention enjoyable, god forbid Jac: You NEVER need to doubt yourself Jac: you're a complete empath, honestly, to your own detriment Jac: but that isn't your fault and people should try to give even a fraction of what you give them back Jac: so, for your wellbeing, I'm calling a time-out on this and them Jac: you've got to focus on you for once ❤ Savannah: I can't tell you how wholeheartedly I wish I was the person you think I am, Ty & I had a HUGE fight earlier & I've been plagued by self doubt ever since Jac: Oh no, okay, what was said? Savannah: He seemed to think that we had plans today, which is not a conversation I remember us having, so of course I wasn't going to cancel on you all Savannah: & that makes me the most thoughtless girlfriend he's ever had Savannah: I'm so sorry the girl you dated for like two weeks dropped everything without a second thought if you even hinted that you wanted her too because she didn't have a life Savannah: they broke up for that exact reason Jac: He's totally got the wrong day Jac: you don't double-book Jac: not dragging him, he's clearly just so busy with his own stuff too but yeah, no way Jac: he'll work it out and owe you a great apology Savannah: it was beyond upsetting, I swear I need a mental health break from everyone but you Jac: I get it Jac: no boy drama but my family are driving me INSANE right now Jac: I vote we go test 💅 colours and get a hand massage to boot Savannah: Can we? I don't want to be responsible for causing you more family drama Jac: Ugh, no, they're fine Jac: and you're more important than any of this drama, Is and Amelia's too Savannah: ^^ I don't care how hard Ty is sulking, I'm not going to leave you to cope with them on your own Savannah: you needed my help first Jac: Like, he can't put that on you Savannah: he's never spoken to me that way before & I have no idea where it came from Jac: Is he under a lot of pressure right now, on the team? Jac: or at home, school Jac: either way, the issue is not with you, and he probably knows that already Savannah: No, everything's going really well Jac: 🤔 Savannah: It's me, it has to be Jac: You've not done what he's saying you have Jac: accusing would be too strong a word but Jac: we'll work it out but I'm totally clueless right now Savannah: me too 😢 Jac: Lowkey mad at him now Savannah: I shouldn't have even said anything, I told myself that I wasn't going to Savannah: but then Isabelle & Amelia started sulking too & it brought it all back Jac: No, I want to be there for you Jac: and make you feel better Jac: which I definitely will Jac: but I just can't explain away why he's being like this 🥺😢 Jac: and I wish I could Savannah: You'll definitely make me cry, you're the best Savannah: he was acting as though I don't make time for him, which is not true, but if it were, the reason would be that nobody deserves as much of it as you Jac: making you cry doesn't sound like something the best would do Jac: you've got to have your own lives, own friends Jac: you do NOT wanna be THAT couple Savannah: if you don't want my tears because I couldn't be happier to have found the love of my life, I'll keep them in, since they are yours, it's totally fine Savannah: yes, exactly & he knows that, he has more friends than extra-curriculars & he has as many of those as I do Savannah: it doesn't make any sense Jac: I will treasure them Jac: and make sure they never, ever spill for anything less than the happiest of moments, because that is all you deserve Jac: I could talk to him...totally on the low and in the most well-intentioned way Jac: maybe it's something he doesn't want to burden you with? but he has accidentally burdened you with this doubt and worry instead Savannah: 🥰🤗 Savannah: you'd do that? Jac: Of course! Jac: You're my soul sister, so I hope Ty at least considers me a friend too at this point Jac: he's going to have to get used to having me around 😅 Savannah: if he doesn't we have a bigger problem than I thought because I love you so much Savannah: & I will run away with you if anyone ever tries to make me choose 😄 Jac: He's smart, he's not gonna do that Jac: though honestly, I could do with the break right now, would not say no Savannah: maybe we could have one, it's essentially my right as a child of a broken home to play my parents off against each other Savannah: & if my dad is foolish enough to believe he can buy back any of my love or respect after what he's done, why should I feel bad for treating him like one Savannah: I refuse to, I do need to focus on myself Jac: In terms of making-up-to-do, he's in the lead no question, or so far behind everyone else, looking at it that way Jac: I think it would be the most appropriate way to end transition year Jac: God knows if my parents would go for it 🙄 Savannah: I'll talk to them, I've never lost a debate so far & I couldn't be any more well intentioned, my heart is in the exact right place Jac: 👼🏾🥰 Jac: next year is when everything gets REAL Jac: we need the holiday we are NOT going to get until...I don't even want to think about the next time we'll be able to take a real break after this Savannah: ^^^ Savannah: whatever I have to do to make it happen & be perfect, so be it Jac: the salon is the EXACT right place to plan all this Jac: all the inane questions they ask about your holidays will actually be useful for once 🤭 Savannah: 😄 Jac: This is like, just a you and me thing, right? Savannah: of course Jac: Okay because helping Isabelle pick bikinis is the opposite of fun 😂 Savannah: oh my god, I don't even want to imagine Jac: if the dress breakdowns aren't bad enough Jac: we'd be so stressed we'd be put on the no-fly list, honestly Savannah: Amelia would probably throw my body into the sea, weighted down by rocks or Isabelle's dog, I swear she hates me Jac: How could anyone hate you? Jac: and she's friends with me, so her taste can't be THAT off Savannah: we won't mention that she's also friends with Is Savannah: any excuse to talk about how perfect you are instead Jac: I seriously think if we wouldn't, who would 😶 Jac: you'll make me 😳 Savannah: OH! The tans we'll both get Savannah: you'll be sightseeing & I'll just be staring at you in disbelief because you somehow got even more beautiful Jac: Oh please Jac: you're so stunning they'd be running to write new laws just to make it illegal how good you look Savannah: stop, nobody can see me 😳 but I still feel it Savannah: it should be illegal how you make me feel Jac: sorry, but a world where you don't know and aren't told how perfect you are is just not one I wanna live in 💁 Savannah: I don't deserve you, all I've done today is mope & wish your friends away so that I can have you all to myself Jac: We deserve each other Jac: if I didn't have you, who would I be able to get excited about this with? Jac: I'd be going on my own, most likely Savannah: okay, you're right Jac: I just get sad thinking about all the time we weren't friends and didn't know each other properly before Savannah: No, don't be sad, baby, we trust in the universe because it was meant to be now not then Savannah: lord knows I needed my glow up before I could be around you Savannah: 👼🏻✨🌞💛 Jac: That's true Jac: I'm more thankful that we have NOW and the promise of forever than I could ever be sad Jac: definitely not ignoring how blessed I am Jac: also blessed that my hair grew back in and I lost the puppy fat look 😬🤦 Savannah: I stand by what I said when I first saw the pictures Savannah: you were ADORABLE Jac: you're too sweet but I'm not gonna complain about it 🥰 Savannah: It's true & you know that because I would never jeopardise our connection Savannah: you're the only person I can talk to with total honesty, it's so important to me Jac: I only feel like myself with you Jac: no one else gets it all Savannah: I feel like a better person when I'm with you Savannah: but with none of the pressure that my parents put on me not to fail or the fear I have of letting Ty down Jac: You're the best person Jac: if all I do is give you the confidence to believe that, then that's totally worth it Savannah: You're going to achieve everything you want Jac: I can't wait to be Dr Taylor to your Dr Moore Savannah: 😊 Savannah: I'll be there to make sure every second of your life is worth it until then & of course after Jac: Naturally ❤ Jac: have you seen the groupchat? Savannah: please don't judge me for not having opened it Jac: I couldn't even when I'm just sat here like 🤨😑 Jac: Is has sent a million links and they seem to be getting worse every one I open ??? Savannah: Well I can't face that until later when I'm 🛀🏾🥂 Savannah: not that I'll be staying at Ty's unless he apologises to me Jac: You can always stay with me Savannah: I don't think any of your family would be fine about the always, but I wish I could Jac: They'll deal, I have to put up with all of them so 💁 Jac: I'm trying to persuade them to move the sofa bed from the hangout area to the music room, make it more of a spare room too, more privacy Jac: it's not fair that Jesse has a whole room with all his crap in, there's plenty of space in said hangout room for him Savannah: 😄 I'm sure we could win that debate too, I definitely have as much passion about the subject as you if it means I don't have to go home Savannah: it's impossible to 🛀🏾🥂 when my mum is mid-breakdown in her en-suite Jac: 😬😥 Jac: she needs to convert the passion she had for couples therapy for solo therapy now Savannah: Honestly! It's a full time job making sure she's adequately but not over medicated & if I'm worrying about it I know Sienna is Savannah: I have to unlock the door to let her in & before I know it I'm re-doing her braids or checking her homework, all the while my bath water is going cold Jac: You're actually such a good sister, and daughter Jac: In awe of you Jac: I wish you didn't have to work as hard as you do, but it's really admirable Savannah: like, so sorry that you had to go home to walk your dog, Isabelle 🙄 it's no wonder she doesn't understand me Jac: She doesn't even try Jac: she lives on planet Is where the most important thing is which bland boy she's going to get off with next Jac: I can't claim so many of your experiences and struggles but I respect the hell out of you, and try to make your life easier where and when I can Savannah: oh my god, the boy from the other night! I can't Jac: 🤢 Jac: her taste! Jac: worrying Jac: ugly dresses are the least of her problems Jac: I feel like I can't leave her alone sometimes, honestly Savannah: if this thing with Ty is leading to a break up I refuse to date any of the boys in our school Savannah: that would be another full time job working out which of them have & haven't done what with her & when Jac: tell me about it 🙄 Jac: they're all so lacklustre Savannah: ^^^ Savannah: we know our worth & we're simply too good for any of them unless they have a serious emotional glow up of their own Jac: Mhmm Jac: Ty is never gonna break up with you though Savannah: I don't know anymore, I never thought he would raise his voice to me Jac: That's pretty out of order Jac: he knows about your dad, what he's like Savannah: & it's really out of character too Jac: Yeah, totally Jac: men and anger issues are a whole can of worms Jac: there's something he isn't dealing with, for sure Savannah: or something he's not telling me Savannah: I just hope it's not a someone Jac: who could even come close to you? Jac: he's not that cliche of having the perfect girl and risking it on some skank Savannah: Logically I know that but I'm so scared Jac: Babe 🥺 Jac: you NEED to put you first, even just for the length of this nail appointment Jac: you don't need this extra stress from him Jac: I've started the convo, you can read it all once we get to the meat of it Savannah: I just want to be excited about 💅🏾 & all the iconic outfits we saw Savannah: it's SO unfair Jac: I hate this Jac: I wish I could take you away right now Savannah: you do, I'd be even more a wreck if you weren't the amazingly intuitive person you are, earlier without even having to be told I was upset you made me feel better over and over again Savannah: and right now you know what I need, way before I can put it into words or coherent thoughts Jac: we trust the connection too 💫💐💞 Savannah: I love you Savannah: I'm not devoting time & space to anyone else today, from this point on Jac: and we're definitely getting lunch after, my treat Savannah: no, mine Savannah: you've already been taking such good care of me Jac: Okay, but we will be going [place] and I will be getting you your favourite dessert Jac: no arguments 😘 Savannah: Okay, I won't fight you on it Jac: there are so many more important, and fun, decisions for us to make Savannah: ^^^!! Savannah: is Is still trying to force you to make outfit decisions for her though? Jac: I've said we've got more pressing matters right now Jac: I've made it sound like a me issue though, don't worry Jac: they'll have to cope without us for a while Savannah: Thank you, I can't cope with their relationship advice at the best of times Jac: Yeah, there's less than zero chance they'd have anything useful to say so Jac: they don't need to know Savannah: We won't tell them about the holiday plans either, that way you'll have a nice secret to keep as well as my stupid boyfriend drama Jac: to secrets 🥂 Savannah: 🥂 Savannah: Are you still thinking about that dress or have I ruined everything? Jac: You could never ruin anything with me Jac: so yes Jac: but I'm also remembering that other shop we didn't even get a chance to check out Savannah: their window display is INCREDIBLE ✨ Savannah: we should go Jac: I KNOW Jac: I've been window shopping every time I go past Jac: and to be fair, I think it's a bit out of Isabelle's price range, so it actually wouldn't be nice to take her there Savannah: the universe has spoken, I'm taking you there, our secret Jac: 🥰 Jac: I swear I only have fun when I'm with you Savannah: you're so much fun that nobody considers you might not be having any, but I promise I'll always think about you & what you need Jac: You'll make me cry now Savannah: Baby, no 🥺 if you start you'll set me off again Savannah: I'm a really ugly crier & you look like an 👼🏻 Jac: Okay, okay, no crying Jac: we'll stay flawless Savannah: that's harder work for me than it could ever be for you, but I'll do my best Jac: You're the most perfect person I've ever known Jac: inside and out Savannah: I feel that way about you, I'm not just saying it like, oh sure, me too Savannah: you're so perfect I should hate you Jac: Yeah, I know Jac: sorta been there done that Jac: not that I ever hated you really Savannah: I couldn't Jac: No, in the way how perfect you are SHOULD be impossible, that's how hating you felt Savannah: that's it exactly Savannah: & I just wanted you to notice me, I'd wait all day sometimes, getting more extra about everything Jac: It was like, I should've been mad at you but I could only ever be impressed Savannah: Well, I can't lie, I'm glad because I've never worked that hard for anyone before Savannah: it'd be super awkward if I failed Jac: 😅 Jac: I'm flattered Jac: how many boys wish, like Savannah: of course, but boys are easy Jac: duh, if you need to try then you've got bigger problems Savannah: I don't understand what Amelia's is, a smile & a hair flip & she could be dating anyone in our year Jac: Yeah, me either Jac: maybe she's had the same 💭 about Isabelle's seconds Savannah: 😄 Savannah: at this point I'm seriously expecting her to come out as asexual Jac: 🤔 maybe you're onto something Savannah: I do have good instincts for these things Jac: True Savannah: one of Sienna's friends is & nobody's been anything but really supportive about it Savannah: her year group are so sweet though Savannah: I was not like that a year ago Jac: Awh Jac: yeah, she knows we'd all support her Jac: and no one is going to say anything to her Jac: no one with half a brain cell anyway Savannah: & even if things were said it'd be no worse than what they say about her now Jac: Facts Jac: I don't know if she 1. genuinely doesn't hear 2. pretends not to or 3. seriously doesn't care Savannah: & you know her better than anyone so if you aren't sure she probably isn't either Jac: 😕 Jac: if she gave any indication, I'd do everything to help her Savannah: I know you would Savannah: I'm honestly so jealous of how close you two are & have been for like, ever Jac: but we're just as close now Savannah: I can't help but envy all the shared history you have though, all the pictures & stories that I'm obviously left out of Savannah: I shouldn't think like that, I know Savannah: but sometimes it does get to me, even though I try & be a better person than that Jac: We're going to make so many memories together though Jac: from now 'til forever Savannah: of course we are Savannah: it's no wonder he also accused me of being over sensitive, that one is very clearly true Jac: people just say that when they don't want to make allowances for other people's inconvenient feelings Jac: you can feel that, and I feel it too Jac: I wish you had been there Savannah: it just feels like she brings up all these past anecdotes as often as she does to try & leave me out Savannah: but maybe she doesn't realise how much it hurts me Jac: I'm sure she doesn't, but I'll make extra effort to clock it and get her to chill now Jac: we don't need to dwell on the past, especially at our age 🙄 Savannah: I don't want to cause friction, I can totally understand her wanting to reminisce, if we'd known each other then, I'd be the same Savannah: I talk & think about you literally all the time as it is Jac: Not even Jac: I don't want you feeling left out, or anyone Savannah: you would never Jac: you're so important to me Savannah: you've always let me know that Jac: 🥰 Savannah: I don't know how I would cope with anything that's going on in my life right now without you Savannah: I didn't even realise how badly I needed someone to talk to Jac: You look after everyone, you need someone to look after you Savannah: I can't rely on anyone to do that though Jac: me 🙋 Savannah: you can't leave me ever, I swear I'll go crazier than my mother Jac: I never will Jac: I promise Savannah: okay, I'm yours to look after then Jac: I can cope with that 😄 Savannah: you've definitely handled me at my worst, I haven't forgotten my bathroom breakdown, trust me Savannah: the embarrassment will last forever Jac: it so easily could have been me Jac: and maybe I wouldn't have had the courage to ever reach out if not, frame it like that Savannah: No, I hate that Jac: Okay, but no embarrassment either Jac: because you're the strongest person I know, and nothing I've learnt about you has changed that opinion Savannah: Well, I think you're the bravest & I fully believe you'll always find the courage to do whatever you want Jac: 🤞 Jac: I've got a lot of things I want and intend to do Savannah: 👏🏾 Yes girl! Savannah: I can't wait for transition year to be over Jac: Ugh, I know Jac: on the one hand, LOVE the extra opportunities and learning experiences they simply do not bother with the rest of the time Jac: but the other half is having to do lessons I have NO intention of carrying on with, which is just, pointless Savannah: ^^^^^^^^^ Savannah: my auntie was complaining at me as if it was OPTIONAL & I CHOSE it, excuse me Jac: Ha! 🙄 Jac: we all know it's meant to be in theory Jac: but if you don't go to a school with a high teacher to child ratio, with the budget and time to care about tailoring the learning experience to each child...then you're gonna have to do it with the rest, like it or lump it Savannah: She's a product of the American school system, there is zero place for her criticism Jac: and I- 😶 Jac: even our worst school would be preferable I'm sorry 😂 Savannah: Right?! Jac: Compared to the English and American systems, except maybe the super-elite English ones, I feel like we're still going to be at an advantage when we go to Uni Savannah: Agreed Savannah: even this year we've totally made the most of so far Jac: You've got to Jac: or you'll end up with a mediocre life and what is the point in even living Savannah: Ugh, exactly Savannah: I can already tell who is going to end up living like that Jac: I know right Jac: like, sorry to break it to you, but they're called FORMATIVE years for a reason Savannah: mhmmmm Jac: you can still have fun without ruining your life and future Jac: you just have to work hard too and some people are simply too lazy 💁 Savannah: ^^ we manage to have it all Savannah: I'm not sorry if they don't want it enough to secure it for themselves Jac: Exactly Jac: can't be sorry for you if you chose to act that way Jac: maybe some of them will turn it around years down the line but it'll be so much harder than if they'd put the work in when they were meant to Savannah: It breaks my heart that everybody doesn't have you to guide & hype them Jac: Only you deserve me though, that's the truth of it Savannah: I'm willing to work at that for the rest of my life too so Jac: 🥺 Jac: Ugh, I just love you Jac: you've really solidified all my life choices, if that makes sense Jac: like I know now everything I want is exactly what I need too Savannah: It makes perfect sense & I feel it too Jac: Thank God you do Savannah: My family are always pushing me to go to Trinity, they don't understand at all Jac: like, yeah, it's a good Uni, but we've done Dublin Jac: it's also the point of Uni to expand your horizons, put roots down somewhere else Jac: your hometown and Uni town are NOT meant to be the same Savannah: ^^ thank you Savannah: Sienna is the only one whose opinion is valid because I will be leaving her here alone for a year before she can go wherever she decides to & she'll actually miss me Savannah: my parents just want to control me Jac: Right, you aren't being selfish about it Jac: it's because you're too useful to them, like you said, looking after Sienna and your mum Jac: but those are actually both jobs your dad took on when he got married and made a family so Jac: he still has to deal with them Savannah: He gets to literally walk out but god forbid I take the next step in my life Jac: Right, he has to realize you are not a surrogate carer Jac: and that sorting those things out will always be his responsibility Savannah: He takes no responsibility for abandoning us never mind the fact that he spent years emotionally destroying my mum & then walking out when he didn't like who she became Jac: He's going to have to face his blame one day Jac: if nothing else, he does love you and Sienna, he wouldn't let anything really bad happen to you two Savannah: I don't feel loved, I feel like he decided none of us were good enough Savannah: maybe I'm too much like her for him to handle too Jac: I hate that he's made you feel like that Jac: but if anything, that shows failure on his part, not yours Jac: you're brilliant and loving and you're still there, even though it's so much for you to handle Jac: you don't need him, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be held accountable right now, and that it's shit that he isn't stepping up Savannah: I hate him & I can't stand that he's made me carry hate in my heart when that isn't who I want to be Jac: Oh, Sav Jac: you wouldn't hold negative feelings towards him if he wasn't giving you that energy first Jac: you're never a doormat, again, it shows you're strong Savannah: Don't let me be with Ty, okay? Jac: Promise Savannah: Throw my phone into the 🛀🏾 if you have to, I'll forgive you Jac: 😅 I've got it in writing Savannah: 😄 Jac: would never drop it in 🥂 Jac: such a waste Savannah: Lord no, I need the full 🍾 Jac: 🙌 I can get behind that Jac: it's been a DAY Savannah: it had it's genuine 🙌🏾 moments nevertheless, because of & featuring you Savannah: I've looked at the pictures so many times, I CANNOT believe you really look like that Jac: 😳 says you Savannah: yes & I'm going to keep saying it until it sinks in for both of us that you're the most beautiful person that has ever existed because I'm hoping that if it does for me, at least, whatever dress you choose won't take my breath away as soon as I see you in it Savannah: otherwise you'll be trying to twirl but also having to catch me as I legitimately faint Jac: you'll have to not kill me before then or I won't be any use to anyone Jac: just a blushy mess on the floor Savannah: that isn't fair, on the one hand, you can't die, I need you, but on the other that sounds ADORABLE Jac: it's unfair how much of an 👼🏾 you are to me but I don't wanna share so Savannah: pink is one of my favourite colours, you know this & you wear it so well 🌺😳🌷 Jac: I'll wear it for you Jac: even if I don't go for that dress Jac: I wonder if we can get corsages or is that too extra 🤔 Savannah: I'll get that dress if it makes you happy, I'll wear anything you want me to, including a corsage Savannah: there is no such thing as too extra when you're talking about 🌷 🌹 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌻 Jac: my sentiments exactly 😄😄 Jac: I don't think Amelia will wear one Jac: but we can get them Jac: we can get our birth flowers and favourites and it'll be so cute Savannah: It should be an us thing, the holiday is so far away Jac: ^^ and it's more our vibe Jac: doesn't go with a short dress or jeans, really Savannah: 😄 Jac: I've got some books I need to return to the library, do you wanna meet at that little coffee place by there?

(3/3) Maybe she's interviewing for a job in the city and has a one night stand with him. Then Isabel befriends her and eventually she and Levi bum into each other again. and then oh god he's a kingpin and then NIle of course kidnaps her! I don't know what happens after that but I'm getting a little too excited and somehow this has evolved into a 3 part ask. Like I said, it's been four years since I've had time for this so I'm sorry for whatever this mess i'm giving you is. Love the fic!
HAHHA wow! First off I’m so happy you’re able to return to this beautiful fandom and I’m so glad you enjoyed the fic!!! Now, the unignorable desire to drop my life and start this alternate universe fic with Levi/Mikasa is palpable 😂but best wrap up this zombie business first 👌 I’m thinking her and her friend Mia go clubbing!- naturally Mikasa is unenthused and detests her friend for dragging her along, but this is where antics ensue and somehow our favourite pairing’s lives intertwine. Maybe she bumps into Isabelle in the ladies toilets - she needs help - a boys harassing her... Mikasa kicks some dudes ass who’s high off coke and won’t leave her alone??? The possibilities are endless and this is where my mind will be at forever now 🙃👌

Forbidden || Chapter Three: Fallen and Ball Gown Talk
Tumblr media
"The plan is simple, gate crash their ether extraction party and gets out," Tori explained, pointing to her holographic map.
"Got it," Chloe said, twirling her knife between her fingers.
"That's it?" Isabelle asked, folding her arms as her ghost Hermione materialized by her left shoulder.
"Yes, hopefully," The female Exo Titan muttered.
"That's not reassuring," Hermione commented, floating to the other side of  Isabelle, her pink and purple shell glinting in the sunlight.
"Let's play it safe," Came Chloe's ghost, Moondance.
"Says the ghost whose Guardian's a reckless fool," Tori chuckled.
"You get a little reckless after going through three vanguards, one of them being my dad," Chloe stated, sheathing her knife.
"Touche," The Female Exo said.
Isabelle just rolled her eyes and summoned her sparrow, she just wanted to get this done and over with. Her latest book was waiting for her at home and she left off on a cliffhanger. "Come on girls, less bloody chit chat and more action," She said over her shoulder as she mounted her sparrow. 
"Knowing us, it's gonna be done in under ten minutes, you would think the Vanguard would give us something more, I don't know, challenging?" Chloe elaborated, summoning her sparrow and climbing onto it.
"Exactly, I for one would love to do a harder raid on Venus," Tori chuckled, she too climbing on her sparrow.
The trio zipped off towards the ether extraction. 
The planet this mission was on was Mars. It was mostly run by Cabal, but there were some Fallen here and there, not too much though. That was a good thing. Unlike the Cosmodrome, that place was littered with those scathing pirates. 
When the girls arrived at their destination. They jumped off their sparrows and crouched and crawled to the cliff edge just ahead. They laid on their stomachs. Isabelle got her Shepherd's Watch rifle ready, looking down her sights.
"They're just bloody milling about, for now, the Elinski haven't even started extracting yet," She said, watching the targets carefully.
"How many are there?" Chloe asked, loading ammunition into her hand cannon.
"Not many, about twenty or so," The Warlock answered.
"This is gonna be a walk in the park," Tori commented.
Isabelle chuckled and put her rifle over her shoulder. "If you move now the three of you can eliminate them without any problems," Percy, Tori's ghost, said materializing by Tori's shoulder.
"No reckless mishaps," Came Moondance, making Chloe let out a dry chuckle of her own. 
"Chloe, I'm serious, I'm getting tired of reviving you every five minutes," He said, appearing in front of his guardian, and the trio of females tried to contain their laughter. "I can't make any promises, buddy, but I'll try," The Huntress stated.
"Hermione, you wanna add something?" Isabelle asked as her little light appeared.
"Yes, the Fallen have started extracting ether, better hurry," She said.
The Warlock nodded and the girls moved silently down the cliffside. Isabelle and Chloe grabbed two Dregs from behind and dragged them behind a rock. The Huntress stabbed them for good measure. Isabelle pointed to Chloe and Tori then pointed right, then she pointed to herself and pointed left. The Huntress and Titan nodded went right. The warlock crept around a giant boulder grabbed and fusion grenade and tossing it to the nearest target, just as one of Chloe's swarm grenade landed in the middle of the extraction and started a commotion amongst the Eliksni. Vandals and Marauders put up their guard and started scouting the area.
"On my signal, we jump into action," Tori said over the comms.
"I'm ready when you are," Came Chloe.
"Same here," Isabelle replied, putting bullets into her rifle, "let's just get this over with so I can go home and read."
She watched as Tori jumped out from behind the boulder across the way and created a shield as she started firing her auto rifle. Isabelle got on top of the boulder she was behind and aimed down her sights, killing Dregs and Vandals left and right. She saw Chloe jump out from the corner of her lense, hand cannon blazing and knives everywhere.
When the Captain appeared, all three girls fired at him all at once. Taking him down easily. Lastly, they destroyed the ether extraction device. 
"Ramen on me?" The Huntress offered.
"Sure, why not," Tori obliged.
"But after we report to the Vanguard," Isabelle stated, as the three of them transmitted to the ship.
~~~
Isabelle, Chloe, and Tori walked out of the hanger and to the Hall of Guardians. They had to report back to the Vanguard about the ether extraction the Fallen were trying to do. Isabelle looked at the guardians they passed. Some were talking in small groups, others danced to nothing-in-particular, and some were just getting back from bounties and cashing them in. The trio passed Lord Shaxx, who was manning Crucible matches and looked like he was on his twelfth cup of coffee. Isabelle looked at Eris, who was muttering about Oryx coming back. Finally, the Vanguard was in full view. The Warlock watched as her best friends split off and went to their Vanguards. Chloe to Cayde and Tori to Zavala. Isabelle walked over to Ikora.
"Isabelle, how was the mission?" Ikora asked, looking up from the tablet she held.
"Oh, you know, way too easy, like taking candy from a baby," Isabelle replied.
"Good, I assume you and your fireteam were efficient enough to get the job done?"
"Yes, and yes, Hermione, Moondance, and Percy were the real help," The Awoken female said, mentioning hers and her friends' ghosts.
Ikora smiled, "That's good to hear, there is something I would like to talk to you about if you haven't already heard."
Isabelle furrowed her brows, "What is it? Did I do something. . . wrong?"
"No, no, it's just that Queen Mara Sov has invited the Vanguard and the guardians to a ball," The Warlock Vanguard explained.
"A ball?"
"Yes, but the Prince-- Uldren Sov-- has requested you to accompany him as his plus one."
Isabelle's jaw dropped, her cheeks flooding with warmth. Uldren wanted HER to be HIS plus one? She felt like she was dreaming, like actually dreaming. Hermione must have felt the wave of shock go through Isabelle because she appeared next to her. Isabelle straightened and shook her head. 
"Sorry, that's quite shocking, I thought the Awoken didn't like us, guardians, very well, especially Uldren," She said, her fingers find their way to her hair, tugging at the bubble-gum pink strands nervously.
"Queen Mara wishes to make us allies," Ikora stated, "and I see why do you?"
"Yes, because the enemy is growing ever so slowly and we want to be prepared for a possible attack, which, I guess, is why Mara wants this ball," Isabelle responded, "to extend her allies."
"Very well, my young pupil, I've taught you well," The Warlock Vanguard smiled, "You are dismissed."
Isabelle nodded and headed out of the Hall of Guardians, finding Chloe and Tori outside waiting for her. They were both exchanging a few words when the noticed Isabelle approach.
"Hey, Bookworm, did Ikora tell you about the ball?" Tori asked, her pink optics glowing brightly in the dimly lit Tower Plaza.
"Yes, and something quite shocking," The Warlock replied.
Isabelle could have sworn Chloe's human ears perked up at this, or was that just a hunter thing? But her icy, blue eyes were focused on her hand cannon as she started cleaning it.
"What is it?" The Huntress asked.
"Prince Uldren has asked for me to be his plus one to the ball," Isabelle admitted, her cheeks heating up.
The Huntress' head snapped up and the Titan stared in shock. It was clear that they were not expecting this to come out of Isabelle's mouth. She again started playing with her hair.
"Well, looks like your Prince Charming wants you after all," Chloe smirked, mischief flashing in her eyes.
"I doubt that," Isabelle rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
"Chloe, wipe that shit-eatin' grin off your face!" Tori scolded, her southern accent coming out.
Isabelle laughed at this as the Huntress flipped Tori off. The Exo just rolled her optics, shaking her head lightly, "Real mature, Clo, real mature."
"Anyway, who wants to go down to the city tomorrow and shop for dresses, especially Izzy's," Chloe said.
"Me, what's so special about the dress I'll be wearing?" Isabelle asked, playing with her hair.
"Because you are going with a Prince as a date," The blue-haired female replied, putting her hand cannon in its holster and stowing the cleaning cloth in her pocket, "you need to look outstanding, absolutely gorgeous, but not too much, or else people will think you're trying to outdo their queen."
"Okay, and whom might I ask is gonna be your date, Chloe Faith?" The Warlock inquired, "though I have a bloody feeling I know who it is."
The last part was said under her breath.
"Cayde asked me, he said 'it'd be fun and that ya haven't gone out since Nathen cheated on ya and ya deserve to dance with a real man'," The Huntress just blushed lightly.
Everyone knew Cayde was head over heels for Chloe, even when Andal was still here. Isabelle knew Chloe felt the same way, but she backed off and cut herself from any type of romantic relationship because of how Nathen cheated on her and because her father was killed. But Isabelle was glad Chloe accepted the offer of going with the Hunter Vanguard.
"Anyway, who are you going with Tori?" The Huntress asked.
"I was thinking of maybe asking Amanda," The Exo replied, "just as friends though, I'm not looking for a girlfriend or boyfriend right now."
Tori was bisexual, and when she came out Isabelle happily supported her, along with Chloe. After all their best friends, why wouldn't they support her?
"Chloe, didn't you say something about paying for ramen?" The Warlock asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, now let's go before the shop closes and Cayde gets off duty," The blue-haired female exclaimed, ushering Isabelle and Tori over to the Bazaar.
~~~
The next day Isabelle woke to something nudging her shoulder. "Isabelle, it's time to get up, you told Chloe and Tori you would go shopping for ball gowns today," Hermoine said, still nudging the Awoken woman.
 She opened her eyes and found her ghost floating in front of her. Isabelle turned her head towards the window, early morning light poured through it. "Did I fall asleep reading again?" She asked, sitting up in bed and letting out a yawn.
 "Yes, I put a bookmark in the place where you left off and set the book on your nightstand," The Little Light answered, bobbing up and down whilst twirling in the air.
"Brilliant, what time is it?"
"Just a little past seven."
Isabelle nodded and got out of bed, trudging over to the bathroom where she ditched the white, cotton t-shirt and black shorts she was wearing and jumped into the shower. She let the warm water relax the tense muscles in her body from yesterday. Then she focused and washing her hair, making sure all the knots and tangles came out. Lastly, she washed her body and shaved her legs and underarm.
Getting out of the shower, Isabelle wrapped herself in a fuzzy, pink towel, as well as her hair. She walked over to the sink, brushed her teeth, and did a small amount of makeup. She unwrapped the towel from her hair and proceeded to blow-dry it. After her hair was dry, she ran a brush through it and put it in a side ponytail. Isabelle walked over to her closet and pulled out a light, long sleeve, black, turtle neck crop top, a maroon denim skirt, and a pair of black, knee-high boots. She put on the outfit, along with prescription glasses, and checked her phone.
A text message from Chloe.
Chloe: Meet up at Clara's Cafe before shopping?
Isabelle: What time?
Chloe: 8:30, sound good?
Isabelle: Yes, see you and Tori then.
Isabelle checked the time, 7:58, and put her phone in the pocket of her skirt and left the room. She made her way down the floating steps to the main floor. Chloe gave her enough time to grab a small breakfast consisting of a PopTart and a Honey Crisp Apple. She then grabbed her purse hanging by the apartment door and left, locking it tight, and texting Chloe she was on the way.
Isabelle made her way out of the Tower to the city below. This gave her enough time to get to Clara's Cafe, a popular place among the city's people and the guardians. She entered the small coffee shop and spotted Chloe and Tori at their usual table. Chloe was dressed in a snapback hat that read 'Hunter' across the front, a white crop top that showed off her shoulder to wrist tattoo sleeve, a pair of ripped, faded, skinny jeans, and black converses. Whilst Tori wore a black t-shirt, a red jacket, sweat pants, and a pair of plain sneakers. Isabelle took her seat next to Chloe.
"You look cute, Izzy," The Huntress said, sipping what looked like a green tea macchiato.
"Thanks," Isabelle said, opening her Kindle app on her phone.
A waitress came around and asked for Isabelle's order, which was her norm, a chamomile tea with extra honey. The waitress nodded and went to put the order in. The Warlock continued to read a book on the kindle app as Chloe and Tori talked about raids and what ones they wanted to do for the millionth time over. 
"Isabelle Aubrey Brigham, get off the phone and talk to us," Tori scolded.
Isabelle sighed and turned her phone off, putting it in her purse. "Come on, I was just getting to the good stuff!"
"Good stuff as in a vivid sex scene?" Chloe asked.
"No, not all the books I read have sex scenes in them," Isabelle scoffed, "let's change the topic, how's your sleep schedule, Clo, has it got any better?"
The Huntress' smirk immediately faded, and she looked down at her lap. "No, it hasn't, the nightmares are getting worse," She answered, her tone saddening.
"I'm sorry, Chloe, I wish we could help," Tori said, reaching over the table to put a hand on her friend's shoulder.
Isabelle gave rubbed Chloe's back. If anything more could be said about her best friend, it was that she suffered from nightmares often and had the worst sleeping schedule in history. Isabelle could visibly see the exhaustion on the Huntress' face. The dark circles under her blue eye were quite noticeable.
"One chamomile tea with extra honey," came the voice of the waitress.
"Yes, thank you, darling," Isabelle said, taking her drinking and sipping it lightly.
The waitress left to get the bill.
"You know, talking about my sleep schedule isn't important right now, finding our dresses for the ball is," Chloe stated, going back to her usual cocky self.
"Right, the ball," Isabelle muttered.
She still couldn't believe she was Uldren's date. It made her nervous and not many things made her nervous. But Uldren was royalty, a real prince, and Isabelle? She wasn't even royalty. Far from it actually, she was just a guardian. Just a normal, everyday guardian who loved the company of books more than anything else.
A few short minutes later, Tori ended up paying the bill and the girls left the cafe. They walked around the city streets trying to find a good dress shop. "I really hope I have enough bloody glimmer for this," Isabelle said as the trio entered an expensive-looking dress emporium.
"Welcome to L'amour De La Rose Dress Emporium," A silver and blue female Exo with a French accent said, "My name is Aimee-9, what can I help you with?"
Chloe stepped forward and smiled kindly, "My friends and I are looking gowns for a ball next week."
"What kind of gowns are you three looking for?" Aimee asked.
"I'm looking for something simple and elegant, in the color silver," Tori replied.
"I want a dress that's nothing flashy and doesn't draw attention to me, but elegant and enough for a Hunter Vanguard to drool," Chloe stated. 
Isabelle looked around. She didn't know what she wanted.  
"Miss, what would you like?" The silver and blue Exo asked.
The warlock opened her mouth to speak, but Chloe beat her to it, "She'll have one that's absolutely stunning and will have Prince Uldren begging for more!"
"Chloe, can you bloody shut it!" Isabelle spat, then took a deep breath, "I would like something elegant too, something lacy with a beautiful floral pattern and pink."
"Very well, I'll get some dresses you could choose from, please follow me," Aimee said, leading the girls to the fitting rooms.

The Ultimate Battle Pt.6
Galeem: How disappointing that secret weapon was nothing more than a pile of scrap.
Master Hand: Worry not m'lady. We still have 17 other smashers as well as well as 30 assist trophies.
Galeem angry: Good go- Wait What!? 17 and 30. First of all they have only retrieved 28 fighters and haven't freed any assist trophies yet so can you tell me for whatever reason we are missing 29 fighters and 29 assists?!
Master Hand quivering: He took them.
Galeem: Again. First my Crazy Hand and now the fighters how annoying. Yet another setback.
Sakurai: Doesn't look like your plan is going how you imagined it.
Galeem enraged: SHUT UP YOU ANT! AS IF I CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!
Sakurai sarcastically: Oh of course it's not like you showed me you took offense.
Galeem: Take him away. NOW!
-----
After some backtracking. The heroes managed to revive Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Yoshi, Lucario, Sheik, Villager, Mii Swordfighter and Isabelle. Also along with their guests Geno and Doomguy saving each fighter was even more of a breeze.
C.Falcon: It looks like Samus is up ahead guys. Just across the bridge.
Olimar: Come on let's go get her.
C.Falcon: Right behind you bud.
Lucario: No stop!
Samus: Initiate earthquake.
The ground started to break apart.
Sheik: What's going on?
Samus: Listen here rejects. For you to make it this far is impressive so tell you what if you can find out how to stop this fissure from expanding. I will gladly give myself away. All you gotta do is find 3 colored switches. Do that and you will earn my respect.
C.Falcon: Done.
Samus: What do you mean do-
C.Falcon: We split up so if we are doing this correctly. Mario and the others should be back.
Mario: Hi guys.
C.Falcon: Now. Oh and with Simon and Pit. Bonus
The fissure stopped increasing and the smashers crossed the bridge.
Spirit: *sigh* fine. Take your friend back.
Samus pointing her cannon at the spirit: Now get lost before I shoot you.
The spirit backed away slowly.
Samus: Thanks guys I've been standing there for nearly 3 days now.
Doomguy: Well, well, well. Lookie at what the cat dragged in.
Samus: Who are you exactly?
Doomguy: I go by many names, Doom Slayer, Doom Marine, Hell Walker, The Slayer. Fully equipped with all kinds of destructive weaponry.
Samus: I like your style big guy.
Both stare into each others eyes (or visors, if you wanna be picky)
Mario: *ahem* Sorry to interupt, but we have a world to save.
Both of them: Oh yeah right. Uh sorry.
-----
Mr Game & Watch awaited in a maze like area (where I personally think Pac-man would have fit better to be honest) watching Flatline 5 on his tablet.
Geno: He dosn't look that bad. Let's take him out now.
DK Whispering: No get back.
Geno: Hello there little guy. Do you wanna help us out with something. Oh is that a hammer.
He nods.
Geno: What's it for?
Mr Game & Watch: 1 word. 4 letters. Causes tons of pain.
Geno: Ooh. I love riddles. Bomb right.
Mr Game & Watch: Come closer. The answer is. Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine!
Geno was sent flying.
Geno: Guys he's too strong I can't get near him.
Samus: Let me. Charge shot.
Mr Game & Watch: Uh oh.
Mr Game & Watch fainted.
Jigglypuff: Hey. That's our job.

After freeing Shulk, PKMN Trainer, Diddy Kong and Ness they soon headed up to the clouds where they were met with a buffet, as well as a righteous king who lay down with his servant. It was King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee.
Bandana Dee: Boss I think we have some company.
King Dedede: Company you say. Good or bad?
Bandana Dee: I don't know. You over there state your buis- It's Kirby.
King Dedede: What Kirby. It looks like it's time for me to kick dat dere kirby to da curb.
Bandana Dee: Here you go boss. *Hands over hammer*
But seriously I want purchasable costumes to be a thing I want Masked DDD 😂.
DDD: Kirby! It's about time I taught you what happens when you make your king mad.
DDD began aimlessly swinging his hammer around landing a few on top of Kirby.
Pichu: Shouldn't we help him?
Mario: No. Let Kirby handle it these two have fought for the silliest of reasons I believe one fight started because Kirby accused DDD of stealing his cake and it turned out he didn't.
Falco: *whistles* (you know the kind of whistle I mean right? Good)
Kirby runs around the area spitting all the food at DDD. Which DDD just hit with his jet hammer. A piece broke off which Kirby inhaled.
*Insert Kirby transformation music*
Doomguy: Woah! Now that's freaky.
Fox: It's Jet Kirby.
DDD: Ahh! No not Jet Kirby.
Kirby started zipping around the arena occasionally getting in a few hits on him.
DDD: I can't keep up with him. It's too much.
DDD fainted.
Jigglypuff: Again with this.
*stop the music*
Bandana Dee and King Dedede had later come to their senses.
Bandana Dee: *yawn* What a great nap that was. Right boss.
King DDD: Yes indeed. Hey Mario are we almost done with this place.
Mario: We only need to see that tall mountain and that island over there.
Samus: We're almost done.
Mario: Yes. But where is everyone else? If they were all in this area they would be easier to find since they'd be bunched up together.
Fox: Only time will tell I guess.
-----
Galeem: Status.
Master Hand Clone: We currently have 3 more smashers left in the World of Light.
Galeem: Dammit. We may not be able to go to war fully prepared after all. Especially since that nuisance took half of my pawns. But as I said it's just a minor setback.

???: Watching every single one of your fates eventually be met will certainly be entertaining. Something heinous this way comes and I am at the centre of it all. *hysterical evil laughter*

Jac & Amelia
Jac: Can you believe this girl? Amelia: No, you're right, she's unbelievable! Jac: I can't believe she thinks so much of herself Jac: who told her she was so great and was it April fools when they lied to her face? Amelia: it'll be sir from now on and she'll be loving it Jac: As if she didn't get it just because she's so loud and he couldn't bother with the tantrum Amelia: he had no idea what to do when Ciara started crying, we all saw that Jac: Exactly, she just made him feel uncomfortable Jac: not cool Amelia: it's really not Jac: Not to mention not cool in the literal sense Jac: so lame Amelia: yeah Amelia: did you see how Connor and his friends looked at her? Amelia: I'm 😳 for her Jac: She has no shame Jac: It's no wonder Keeley doesn't want to be her friend any more Jac: I heard she like, ruined her last birthday party Jac: not surprised Amelia: showing off at the ice rink does sound like something she'd do Jac: Probably 😭 she wasn't the next Michelle Kwan Jac: she thinks she's good at EVERYTHING, which is cringe when you can't back that up Amelia: and when you put that much effort in, to impress sir of all people Amelia: he's not someone she should have a crush on Jac: Talk about daddy issues Amelia: my parents know everyone, they probably know hers Jac: OMG, I wonder what they're like Jac: she has a sister too, right? Jac: but she doesn't seem as nightmareish Amelia: I think she's in the year below but I've never heard anything about her Amelia: she must not be so Savannah-ish Jac: Poor thing is probably suffocated Jac: have to be so extra to get any attention with a sister like that Amelia: thank god I've never been to any family dinners at her house Amelia: who is she friends with now? Jac: You'll have to corner your mum, find out what their deal is Jac: I think she goes 'round with that Molly girl and her friends Jac: but I don't think they're like HER friends, you knoq Amelia: come over tonight, I've already sent her a text and it's totally fine Jac: Cool, I can sleep? Jac: anything to get away from my own annoying sister for the night Amelia: absolutely! Amelia: hopefully she'll have less boring gossip than when I asked her about that new girl last year Jac: Yay 😚 Jac: I'm sure she can be relied upon for the tea Jac: if not we'll look up their tragic old people socials Amelia: being on the board of school governors is such a middle aged in Amelia: that'll be where she knows Savannah's parents from if they are anything like her Jac: Why else would you do it? Jac: There's no funding to allocate 😂 Amelia: 😂 Jac: Though, your mum has to tell us in advanced for the next fundraiser, so we can actually get in there before Savannah just takes it all over Amelia: if people would pay her to 🤫🤐 that'd be a charitable act to us Jac: That's SUCH a good idea though actually Jac: watch her flop a sponsored silence 😂 Amelia: her sister would be 💔 Amelia: thinking it's her moment Jac: Awh 😬🤭 Amelia: oh god, I'm too stupid, I did not click her last name Amelia: her dad is a self proclaimed big deal, it all makes sense now Jac: Gross 😫 Jac: links? Amelia: they're like 🤑 Amelia: [links] Jac: She does have such wannabe richgirl vibes Jac: and she looks like him Amelia: she does 😬🤭 Jac: awkward Jac: also that there's barely any sign of her mum on these socials... Amelia: I wonder if he's flirted with my mum Amelia: she won't tell us Jac: but we'll know from what she DOESN'T say 😏 Amelia: this afternoon is going to drag so hard Jac: What even is social skills Jac: such a non-class, so dull 🙄 Jac: we should go to the shops before going to yours though, get snacks Jac: AND if we get dinner your mum will be thrilled with us 😇 Amelia: 💐! Amelia: you're onto something Amelia: do you think I should tint my lashes? Jac: I know 😋 Jac: Are you serious? but your hair is SO dark Amelia: exactly, they should be naturally thicker than this Jac: Okay but make sure you get a good kit Jac: Poppy Masters in the year above us got a cheap one and they all fell out Jac: her eyebrows too 😱 Amelia: oh no Jac: She's too ginger anyway, it would have looked ridiculous if it went right Amelia: is she the one who usually looks orange? Jac: Yeah...it's unfortunate 😬 Jac: she's not allowed to dye her hair because her mam reckons she'll regret spoiling her 'natural beauty' Amelia: her mum gets botox though Jac: Seriously? Jac: I thought she was a young mum too, like you know, had her TOO young young Jac: what a state Amelia: she thought my mum got it too and was asking her where and everything Amelia: because wherever she went cut her off for wanting to keep going like all the time Jac: The cheek of some people Jac: that's like Savannah levels of no shame Jac: your mum must've been SO embarrassed for her Amelia: I was standing right there and then she gave me a talk about our natural beauty, since I owe it to her, sorry dad Jac: Well you are super beautiful 🤷 Amelia: but yours was a model and you look just like her, neither of you are in people's faces about it Amelia: 😳 stop it please mother Amelia: I don't wanna turn into Savannah Jac: You could NEVER Amelia: have you seen her socials? She really loves herself Jac: I'll go look now Jac: I bet it's all selfies though Amelia: EVERYTHING she wears is designer Amelia: we get it 🤑💸 Jac: 🙄 like way to show you have no friends or real hobbies Amelia: does she do anything but shop and study? Amelia: 🥱 Jac: Clearly not Jac: She can't be that rich or she wouldn't go to our school Jac: or live in the catchment area even Amelia: maybe her invisible mum is trying to make her more humble Amelia: she goes on holiday constantly if this feed is anything to go by Jac: we might have to help her with that goal, honestly Amelia: what are you 🤔? Jac: Well, she needs teaching when to be quiet and when to just stop Jac: so we need to find something that she wouldn't wanna overshare Amelia: but now she's sir's favourite, aren't you worried we'd end up in trouble? Jac: it can't come from us, of course Jac: it won't be hard to just get out there Jac: anyway, how long is he actually going to be able to deal with how much she is Amelia: if you tell Is anything she'll spread it around Jac: and she never remembers where she heard it Jac: maybe we can think of something that will stop her being favourite Jac: hmm Amelia: like she's 😍🥰😘 for him Amelia: if he can't handle tears Jac: I mean, it isn't even a stretch Jac: we all saw her so Amelia: and the daddy issues are real Jac: Exactly Jac: like, it's not Sir's fault your dad is the worst Jac: do you wanna facetime her later? Amelia: should we? Jac: Is, I mean, obvs 😅 Jac: she might be a bit jealous she wasn't invited but she'll still be happy we called her Amelia: what if she wants to come over though? Jac: we'll have to pretend we've got somewhere to be after Jac: so she doesn't go on and on Jac: some club, a reservation with your parents 🤷 Jac: it'll be better to tell her, I'm not messaging it, I only trust you like that Jac: she could turn on us and say we were gossiping or whatever, some pettiness Amelia: I do wanna take you somewhere cool since my dad's working late Jac: That sounds fun Jac: do you have somewhere in mind already? is it a surprise? 😋 Amelia: it doesn't have to be a surprise but yeah, my cousin gave me the idea, so I know you'll like it Amelia: the one you met at my parents anniversary party Jac: I like surprises Jac: it sounds intriguing Jac: Isabelle is definitely not coming Amelia: follow my lead with my mum, okay? Amelia: she'd only say no if she knew where we were actually going Jac: Of course Jac: I know how to play it Amelia: I trust you Jac: ❤❤❤ Amelia: if Is feels left out she can come with us when we go to Savannah's 🏠 Amelia: I've worked out where it is Amelia: she seriously does overshare on socials Jac: As if Jac: you're as smart as she is dumb, seriously Jac: probably wants people to show up, so she can show off some more Amelia: yeah Amelia: Is wouldn't spy as subtly as us, maybe I'll uninvite her Amelia: before she like falls into their recycling bins Jac: 😂😂 Jac: Bless her Jac: she had a bit of salad stuck in her teeth ALL afternoon yesterday lunch Jac: it's like she never looks in a mirror sometimes Amelia: I can't believe Declan asked her out! Amelia: nobody's ever asked me Jac: I just hope for her sake she hasn't got a reputation with the boys already or he'll be expecting something Jac: loads of them fancy you though Jac: like Luke H Amelia: he cares more about French verbs than French kissing and he knows I'll let him copy a few of my answers Amelia: which is fine because unlike Isabelle I don't know how to 💋 Jac: It isn't hard Jac: can't be if she can master it, no offence Jac: and boys LOVE a teaching moment don't they 🙄🙄 Jac: don't want a girl who's clearly done it too many times already Amelia: that isn't a rep I want Amelia: so for now, maybe it's a good thing I freeze up around boys Jac: You're so cute Jac: the boys our age are so immature anyway, there is NO point Amelia: yeah, it's no wonder I can't think of any of them that I'd let 💋 me Jac: What about Leo? Jac: everyone fancies him Amelia: and he knows it Amelia: just like Savannah Jac: Yeah Jac: do you think she's even that pretty? Amelia: she is, but I think you're so much prettier Jac: you're just saying that 'cos you're my best friend Jac: but I appreciate it anyway 😚 Amelia: I could be her best friend instead but I'm not Jac: Imagine Jac: glorified bag holder sounds more legit Amelia: she'd hate where I'm taking you tonight Amelia: not enough mirrors and selfie lighting Jac: 😏 Jac: dark corners and 🚫📸 is way more fun Jac: that's why we're friends Amelia: best friends Jac: forever Amelia: and ever Amelia: do you wanna skip social skills? Jac: didn't you like, JUST get out of detention with Hilary? 🤔😆 Amelia: yeah Amelia: the timing's right Jac: to book yourself back in? Jac: I do HATE that lesson Amelia: we can say you're ill if you're worried about joining me in detention Amelia: Savannah's display was sickening Amelia: and you're 😇 enough to get away with it Jac: I hate that I can't escape her Jac: you know she's in EVERY one of my classes, literally Amelia: whenever you want to, we'll just go Jac: I will need to get an outfit Jac: as you're taking me somewhere Jac: I was going to ask to borrow your new top but this way, we can go shopping somewhere more exciting than just tescos for the dinner Amelia: my new top would look better on you but there'll be other dark corners for you to wear it in Jac: Not even, you looked so good in it on Friday Amelia: 😳 Amelia: I did feel good on Friday, we should do that again Jac: Definitely Jac: Where do you think Declan is gonna take Is out? Amelia: his sister works at the bowling alley, doesn't she? He'll use her discount Jac: the shoes are SUCH a look 🤭 Jac: guess she can't get burger and chips stuck in between her teeth though so that's a plus Jac: romantic ❤ Amelia: annoyingly, because I'm quite good at 🎳 Jac: Who's he friends with, you could make it a double date Jac: if you beat her though she'd be so mad 😠 she's the sporty one !!! Amelia: I'm not going unless you do too, who would you want? Amelia: Ross maybe Jac: He's not too annoying Amelia: did he get with that foreign exchange girl? Jac: He SAYS he did Jac: but I don't know if that's actually confirmed Amelia: still, I don't love that for you Jac: Hayden is part of that group too but he takes Classics and he's like, the male equivalent of Savannah Jac: he does not shut up, even though he's usually wrong 😒 Amelia: 🎤 drop Amelia: even if it makes me a bad friend, I'm not invested in Is' love life Amelia: there's a million things more fun than 🎳 we could be doing Jac: Yeah, it's not remotely worth it just to spy on her Jac: she'll tell us EVERY detail anyway 💁 Amelia: 😬 Amelia: I hate hearing about her boy drama Jac: maybe we'd care if there was more to it Jac: or she didn't always make herself look like a total idiot for some boring boy with nothing going for him Amelia: maybe Jac: or maybe not 😉 Amelia: I love her but I can't help feeling I loved her more when she wasn't so boy obsessed Amelia: but don't tell her I said that Jac: Of course I won't Jac: I know exactly what you mean Jac: it's like nothing else matters to her anymore Jac: she'll get over it though 🤞 Amelia: if she doesn't, I'm not going to have anything to ever talk to her about because it's the only thing she wants to Amelia: but that's probably true of most girls in our class anyway Jac: It's so tragic Jac: do you not have any ambitions of your own Jac: like it isn't the 50s Jac: not to mention boys think that's like, deeply unattractive anyway Amelia: at least you don't think I'm weird Amelia: or the tragic one Amelia: do you think the boys are obsessed with what we're doing? Jac: You're the coolest girl I know Jac: I'd be your friend no matter what Jac: like sometimes, I think I'm only friends with Is because I always have been Jac: like, I love her but Jac: what do we have in common now Jac: and no, boys fascination with girls starts and ends in the one place Amelia: I will be your friend no matter what Amelia: and if Savannah Moore or anyone else gets in your face like that again, I will be back in detention Amelia: would I risk it all for Is in the same way, not right now, no Jac: I'm glad I've got you on my side, Meels Jac: even if she's got Sir Jac: not for long, right Amelia: if she keeps this up she won't have anything Jac: 💪😍 Amelia: ❤❤❤ Jac: Okay, where do you wanna meet? Jac: I'm fake en-route to the sickbay now Amelia: [a location that makes sense] Jac: IOU a coffee Amelia: I should be treating you after everything that's happened today Amelia: you put in loads more work than she did Amelia: sir only recognises her big mouth Jac: But you've been so helpful and lovely, a per Jac: he's always been like that Jac: it's not my fault I don't like to shout out all the answers all the time Amelia: he didn't know you when you were younger and so shy Amelia: but I remember Jac: Clearly it'd be better if I was a loudmouth and said everything that came into my head though Amelia: for that lesson, but you don't have to go any more Amelia: we're only going to the ones we can be bothered to Jac: Sounds like a good idea but my grades would disagree Amelia: when Nessa was being bullied she didn't have to go to like any lessons Jac: Well I'm not being bullied though Jac: and I don't want her thinking I'm like, threatened by her Amelia: sir is close to the line, you don't have to mention her Jac: no, let's deal with it how we said first Jac: just her not being as smug will be enough Amelia: okay Jac: Trust me Jac: and you can still ditch as much as you want Jac: not gonna get in trouble with me Amelia: I'll ditch the lessons you're not in Amelia: I don't trust her and I'm not going to just leave you with her Jac: You're like half-girl half-pitbull Jac: not art though, you love art Amelia: maybe your mum and dad will adopt me and we can share a room instead of you having to deal with Jude Amelia: well then can I 🎨🖌 you? I've pushed this deadline extension as far as it'll go Jac: Ugh, don't even, that'd be the best Jac: she actually drives me insane sometimes Jac: you wanna 🎨🖌 me? Amelia: I'm thrilled my parents didn't make any 🧫🧪 siblings for me Amelia: and IVF is 💸💸 Amelia: yeah? if you'll let me Jac: You're so lucky tbh Jac: alright, but if I have to pose you can't make me laugh Amelia: 😏 Jac: You'll be the one that ends up with a dodgy painting if you do 😅 Amelia: if I asked Is to let me paint her with 🥑🥦🥬🥒 in her teeth then maybe Amelia: you're too good of a subject to mess up Jac: be so avant-garde Jac: the teacher would probably like that more Amelia: I don't care what she likes Amelia: not a teacher's pet like Savannah is Jac: you're only 🐶 part time Jac: and for a worthy cause, got it Amelia: for you, exactly yeah Amelia: 🦺🐶 Jac: what would I do without you? Amelia: you'd have less paint in your hair Amelia: 😂 Jac: Not very natural of me Jac: but I think I suit it Amelia: I think you do too Jac: I'm [different location] that nosy secretary was doing the rounds and I had to change direction Amelia: I'll be right there 🏃 Amelia: but let Is think she's the sporty one Jac: 🤐 Jac: be bit rude of you to take artistic and sporty Amelia: no way, you're good at everything Jac: but you don't think I'm unbearable like Savannah? Amelia: NEVER Jac: Good Amelia: she's pretending to know what she's doing anyway Amelia: all mouth and no talent Jac: You reckon? Jac: Probably Jac: if you're that showy, you're making up for something, anyway Amelia: even if I'm being unfair I guarantee she's not on your level Amelia: nobody is Jac: You're too nice to me Amelia: too nice like 🤫😳 or you don't think it's true? Jac: A bit of both, I suppose Jac: I do work hard but I don't need to shove that in everyone's face Amelia: you're the anti-Savannah Jac: getting into the uni I want is reward enough Jac: besides, not as if it's endearing to be a total know-it-all-show-off Jac: you don't have to dumb yourself down to be chill about it, you know Amelia: yeah, I'm chill about it, but still smart enough to follow everything she was saying Jac: Exactly Jac: all mouth no talent is not the lasting impression I wanna leave Amelia: me either Jac: not that I care what anyone here thinks Amelia: I know you don't think that about me so same Jac: I only think the best things about you, of course Amelia: you love me even though I don't have a uni picked out and I love you even though you do Jac: That's a pretty good summary, yeah Amelia: 🤓❤😎 Jac: I don't think I'd go that far 😏 Amelia: 😂 Jac: if I was such a 🤓 I wouldn't be waiting for you right now Amelia: maybe I'm that 😎 and persuasive Jac: really Jac: 👌 Amelia: you don't look like that in your glasses though, if we're being real Jac: Good to know Jac: don't need to have a makeover Amelia: I look like this 👧🏻 Amelia: I can't come for you or at you with a makeover Jac: Listen to your mother Amelia: NEVER Jac: okay, okay 😎 Amelia: [probably should actually show up gal so we can leave this here]
