Hello! I saw you request of requests, soooo. Can I request a story and it can be however long you want it to be. The sort of prompt is what you think would or want to happen in the upcoming episode “The Phantom and The Sorceress”. It’s fine even if you don’t answer this ask, thanks for all your content and theories!
Dear Anonymous,
What, did you think that just because I replied one day before the episode aired that I wouldn’t do it?...Well, I was debating it, but this was a fun one. I really hope you like it, because I spent quite a bit of effort on it.
Beware of possible spoilers, however. I mean, it is all prediction, but you never know when you’re right. So, here’s the link:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/26551864
And here is the magical Read More button, for those who need it (Note that Tumblr doesn’t copy italics, for some reason):
It was a dark, cold night in the Forest Of...whatever. Lena couldn't care less about what its name was. It was damp, awful, cold, and filled with monsters. No wonder Magica would hide here; it was basically her dream home. Maybe it was a mirror, too. She trudged with her friends, Violet and Webby, who'd oh-so-kindly volunteered to help her on this mad quest of hers. She was going mad, that's what, and they were both ready to go mad with her. She really was lucky when it came to friends.
They kept trudging in silence, not wanting to reflect on the series of what must've been unfortunate events to lead them to searching for Magica DeSpell in the dark, cold night in the middle of a swamp. An ugly swamp, too...though, now that she thought about it, there weren't really 'pretty' swamps, so it wasn't like Magica chose a bad one; they were all bad.
Despite telling herself several times how she was over this, how she had no issues whatsoever about what they were doing right now and that it was for the greater good, she found herself contemplating any other choice. Just what, exactly, led them to this point?!
...Well, they all knew. It was a rhetorical question. An angry rhetorical question. Leave it to the McDucks to be attacked by a literal video-game monster that crawled out of the screen and treating it like another boring day. Which...yeah, it kinda was for them, but she'd gotten used to the calmer household she moved in. It wasn't like that was the biggest thing that happened today, either, it was more like...the appetizer, even though that wasn't really a correct statement, since it was like eating a whole roast duck only to be told it was an appetizer.
Still, it wasn't the tentacle-monster which they took down that led to this situation. It was the fact that Gladstone...Gladner? Something along those lines, showed up. Apparently, he was the boys' uncle, which made him someone she didn't know. Not that it mattered anyway, he came in, crying about how his luck left him forever before weeping on her arm, which was conveniently next to him. Her sleeve was never going to return to regular levels of salt after this.
It took a while before Scrooge managed to calm him down. It seemed like his luck...which was a thing she didn't know about, had left him. Normally, she was told, they would've chalked it up to some paranormal mystery and had to excuse themselves and send her home, but it went further then that...Almost everyone in Duckburg was losing their abilities.
They didn't really believe it at first, but when Scrooge's monetary abilities started going blank, the alarms blared loudly enough in everyone's minds. It wasn't just him, too; Gyro was losing his intelligence, so was Huey, Mrs.Beakly lost a good portion of her Agent skills, and Dewey lost the ability to Dewey, whatever the heck he meant by that.
It only left her and the rest of Team Magic to fend for themselves and figure out what was draining their powers. There was one teeny-tiny problem, however:
How would they do that? Webby was an amazing fighter, but their enemy, a certain Phantom Blot that Violet heard about, didn't leave a trace, much less a body to fight, and despite Violet's best efforts, nothing came out of her investigations to find where he hid, which left Lena to do the job. One issue, however: She couldn't.
She was a brilliant sorceress, or so she bragged, but there was still much she needed to learn before casting detection spells. And they, she theorized, didn't have that time. Violet was an amazing step-sister and a scarily fast learner, but even she came up empty-handed when it came to learning anything about that power. That left one magic user in Duckburg she knew. Ugh.
She shivered at the memory, snapping out of her mind due to some whimpering from Gladstone. He said he needed to find his luck or else he was a goner. She thought he was exaggerating at first, but then a boat nearly fell on him. 4 Kilometres away from sea. He promised he'd do them anything if she let him accompany them on this treacherous journey while the rest of the gang tried investigating using their own ways, and the agreed. How bad could he be, anyways?
-"U-Um...Lena? I don't know how to tell you this...but I...I hate swamps. I don't think I know how to walk in them. It was always my luck helping me out. I'm cold, scared, and humiliated."...well, not too bad, but he just wouldn't shut up! And while he seemed to amuse Webby and Violet, he was just getting on her nerves.
-"Well, nobody here likes swamp, either! And you've been listing the things your luck did for you for two hours now, is there anything you can do on your own, Mr.Gladstone?", she shot back, irked.
He used to argue and bicker with her, but as his luck kept worsening throughout the day (How on earth does one get mauled by a bear, an alligator, and then receive a speeding ticket because the alligator's death-roll was too fast??), he mostly stuck to paranoia to help himself. She couldn't help but feel bad for him, despite how much he annoyed her.
-"W-Well...I used to breathe well on my own...I could also walk...I think...", he mumbled, his voice a broken mess compared to his arrogant and proud tone, or so she was told by Webby. "A-And...I think I might need to learn how to go to the bathroom in the swamp.", he added, his exhaustion overpowering his embarrassment.
-"Pffft, don't worry about it, Gladstone! The entire swamp is your bathroom! You're basically the King of the swamp!", and there it was, the perky, energetic voice that was trying to keep Gladstone away from depression this entire trip.
-"Oh, quit with the lies! I am nothing without my luck!", he cried, seeming on the verge of tears for the...seventeenth time today? Lena couldn't remember. "B-But...It wasn't my choice! My luck was always there for me! Like...Like a-a stick! Something to lean on my entire life and now it is gone!", he lamented, slouching as his footsteps got a bit slower. For the sake of all them, Lena hoped he regained any of his luck soon.
-"Well, it is true; any being born with a condition, abnormal or not, that aids him throughout his life without any major work done from the part of the being will eventually get used to this condition, which could explain why you're taking this particular misadventure hard, Mr.Gladstone.", Violet bumped in their chat, checking the notepad on which they brainstormed the possible locations of Magica. "Still, I'd advise you to remain positive, as I sense we may be able to fix these conditions.", she added, giving him a small, encouraging smile which he didn't notice.
-"Yeah, probs.", the teenage witch agreed after she felt a nudge from the Vanderquack. Anything to cheer up her friend's friends' uncle. "Hey Vi, are we close or not?", she asked, trying to ignore the eye-roll from her shorter friend.
-"Well, I don't have a particularly detailed map, though I imagine that Magica would mark her camp with a particular sign; an X on the ground, perhaps, or perhaps we must deduce it from the surrounding environment-"
-"Or she might've carved her face on the bottom of an ancient tree!", the cheerful duck happily announced as they entered a clearing with a small dirt road that led to the mouth of Magica DeSpell. A wooden carving of her, anyway.
It was just as Webby said, large, reeking of pride and arrogance, and yet...oddly well done. The details were really nice and actually looked like Magica. If she had to give her 'aunt' something, it had to be that she apparently didn't suck at something in her life. Really though, wood carving, of all things? Was she a carpenter before becoming an evil, awful witch? Is she talented? She didn't have her magic...maybe she had someone else with her.
-"Alright, so, is everyone prepared to meet my homicidal aunt?", the tallest duckling asked with fake happiness, receiving a nod form everyone but Gladstone, who emitted  something of a sniff. Webby readied the axe she brought with her, patting the kitten at the top while Violet tightened her garlic necklace, while Gladstone...he stood there, steadying his back a bit. "Mr.Gladstone?"
-"Ah, forget about it, whatever she does to me, it can't be worse than having an anvil hit me from ten-meters.", he steadied his tone, managing to make it more bitter than desperate. Well, at least he wasn't going to cry when they see her.
She looked back at the tree's base, blocking out the various memories that gave her the urge to blast the door, and knocked. Harshly. Hey, she was going to give herself something. She felt both Webby and Violet's hands on her shoulders, and she anticipated the door opening. Now or never...they were going to convince her, and somehow, she didn't think it was going to be too easy.
Her mind raced, imagining all the awful things she could be plotting right now. She heard garlic was harmful to magic users, something she didn't know too much about, but was apparently true, as she figured out when her magical powers suddenly dimmed as she touched some garlic. Still, Magica could hit them form a distance...and what about that axe? Was going physical the ideal plan? Was-
 CRASH!
The quartet of ducks yelled, jumping back before they realized the door didn't even open. It was something from the inside. Someone, to be exact. A couple of curses came through the door as a metallic sound came through as well.
-"Bloody Hell! Who comes in this hour of the night, in this swamp, to this tree?! I don't even pay bills!", the angry yelling of her not-really-aunt came through. Yep, that was about the attitude she expected. "If you're the Magical Supplies Shop, I'm sorry, but if you couldn't tell, I lost my powers after following a wonderful plan of mine. I cannot pay you in whatever things you want. Now go away before I shoot you!", she answered with a sickeningly sweet tone. Even her voice brought Lena awful memories and forced her to frown.
-"You can do this, Lena. You faced her down before. She can't do anything to you.", Violet squeezed her shoulder, giving her a determined smile. Lena shot one back, before taking a step closer to the door.
-"Hey, this is Lena...Your...", she sighed, bringing a hand to her temple. "Niece?", she finished, awaiting a sick laughter or an undignified scowl at her for attempting to break free from being a shadow. Sorry-not-sorry, Magica. For moment, there was silence. Then there was laughter. Hysterical laughter. So much laughter Lena felt scared.
-"Ooooh, good one, person-who-is-trying-to-fool-me! I don't have a niece! My brother is dead and my sister cannot keep a worm alive! Now scram before my patience runs out!", she thundered from behind the door, leaving the ducklings and Gladstone in shock.
-"She has a brother?", Lena repeated with incredulity, looking at her two friends and Gladstone.
-"I don't know! How should I know? I thought she didn't have family!", Violet answered with equal confusion, shrugging.
-"I mean, technically she doesn't have a brother anymore.", Gladstone chimed in, his voice devoid of any enthusiasm. "Who's this woman anyway? And why does she sound like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed?", he asked, raising his voice a tad too much.
-"The wrong side of the bed?!", came the war-cry from behind the door, only leaving a moment before a couple of locks unlocked and it swung outwards, revealing Magica DeSpell . With a shotgun. Oh, well this was just lovely, wasn't it? "Alright, that does it, I will put more holes than you than there is in...swiss...cheese...", her speech slurred, looking at the three ducklings in front of her house.
The silence remained for a moment, with no one doing anything. Webby brandished her weapon, Violet made a threatening expression, and Lena ignited a spark in her hand. And Gladstone stood there, trying to take all this in. That moment gave Lena enough time to admire Magica's hut; a three-room lodging, more aptly. It was basically a sink, a gas-cooker, and some drawers, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf, all locally-made, apparently. There was also a toilet and a bath in the background. It was a pretty sorry place to live in, but it seemed functional enough.
-"Hi, Aunt Magica.", Lena greeted, gritting her teeth and delivering the widest, fakest smile she could possibly give. "I almost forgot how you looked! We haven't seen each other in such a long time. What a shame.", she continued, trying her best to remain calm and to look the elder sorceress in the eyes. Said sorceress was now surveying the ducks surrounding her, measuring her chances and keeping her hands on the shotgun's trigger.
-"Get out. Now!", the cape-wearing duck yelled, looking dangerously close to a rage-fit. "All three of you. Now!"
-"Three? Hello? I may have lost my luck, but I am certainly not invisible, lady!", Gladstone announced with an undignified tone. He got a glare that shut him up. "Yeah, sure, okay, talk with the people who really matter. Why wouldn't you?", he grumbled bitterly.
-"Listen, as much as we'd love to, we can't really do that.", the younger sorceress laid her hand on her waist, looking both bored and uncaring. At least, she hoped she did. The last thing she needed was for the awful, horrible duck in front of her to sense any weakness, something she assumed she excelled at.
-"Besides, we're already outside! Your evil mind trick won't work on us!", Webby boasted, swinging her axe a bit for intimidation purposes. They didn't seem to work all too well, but at the very least, they made Magica's shotgun point at her just a tiny bit. Was that a victory?...Probably not.
-"Fine then, get away from me! From this place! The last thing I need is to spend my night with a bunch of *McDucks*.", the gun-wielder practically screamed, her veins starting to bulge from the anger. Her voice was laced with venom dripping off of every word. It was honestly both terrifying and admirable how much hate she poured into every word.
-"I told you we can't.", Lena repeated calmly, trying to avoid a fight she saw she was coming.
And then, just as she hoped things would calm down, a loud, roaring BANG! filled the swamp. Every single member of her group jumped, looking frightened as they searched around for wounded. There were none, only four ducks staring at each other. She'd tricked them. And she didn't even have her magic. Lena frowned and turned her face back to her shadow's origin. Her...uh...creator? She was her shadow, did shadows have creators? Maybe a caster was a better term? As much as she hated it, 'Aunt Magica' rolled off the tongue far better than 'Caster Magica'.
-"Are you searching for fight? Because I'm not certain your chances would be very high with the four of us.", Violet spoke for her step-sister. Her new room-mate at this point, but Lena still appreciated the gesture with all of her heart. It appeared Magica actually fired a shot, even if it was only a warning shot. Everyone tried to make good on that statement, looking as threatening as they could. Even Gladstone lifted his fists, adding a grand total of 4% to how threatening they were.
-"Maybe you are! Why can't you get away from me? What do you want? I don't have any more plans for the moment, I didn't do anything illegal for the last month, and you're taking my books from my cold, dead, hands!", the former-Sorceress Of The Shadows barked back defiantly, still pointing at them with her gun. "I don't care if you kill me! I'll take at least two of you down before I-"
-"Could you shut up?!", Lena cried out, her eye twitching and doing everything she could to not attack Magica. "We're here because...because...", she couldn't say it. She couldn't bring herself to ask her for help.
-"...You want to buy something?", her 'aunt' guessed, gun still pointing at her head, but apparently curious.
-"No."
-"You want to brag?"
-"...No.", okay, maybe they did, but they couldn't do that. Not now, anyway.
-"Are we here to rent the room?", Gladstone chimed in, scratching his head. Lena was certain Violet explained to him on the way here...but he apparently forgot.
-"I NEED YOUR HELP!", there, she spat it. She couldn't believe she said it, covering her face afterwards. She felt Violet's hand pat her and heard Webby saying something along the lines of 'There, there'.
-"...I'm sorry? Is this...Listen, it's the middle of September, the swamp is humid as all Hell and I'm trying to set up a fan, if you're just here to brag,", she said before adding 'as you McDucks do.' under her breath, "Then you can come sometime else, these garments aren't exactly fun to wear when the humidity is 85% today so-"
-"No, we need the help. But you'd better watch your back, you witch, because if you try to betray us, I'll shove this axe right down your head!", Webby warned threateningly, patting the kitten once more. Magica actually remained silent and judged what she said, and Lena decided it was time to uncover her face again.
-"And why would you need my help?", the witch repeated, lowering her weapon. Lena could just feel smugness radiating off of her, and she hated it with every molecule of her being.
-"There's a thief in town. He's stealing everyone's abilities. Everything about them. He's stealing it. He calls himself the Phantom Blot.", Violet answered, looking rather impatient with Magica, who smiled with a hum.
-"And why should that concern me?", she smugly inquired and...well, she wasn't wrong. Lena hated that she wasn't wrong.
-"The Phantom Blot hates magic and its users. He wants to eradicate the both of them and you, if I remember correctly, are a witch, yes?", the hummingbird explained, gaining a bit more of a reaction this time: A chuckle. They really couldn't find anyone else, huh?
-"Listen, Purple, if you can remember so well, then you might as well remember that Lena over there stole all of my power. I'm in no danger of this Phantom Blot.", she shot back, a taunting smile on her beak and crossing her arms.
-"Alright, listen up you freak, maybe you don't realize this, but he doesn't know that you don't have your powers. All he knows is that you were the single biggest magical spell to hit this town less than a year ago. I'd say you're still on his hit list.", not taking any more of this back-and-forth, the younger sorceress quipped, closing her hands together and trying a smirk of her own to counter the furious frown and growl her 'aunt' gave her.
-"And you're still on our hit list, you monster! So don't try to even think about doing anything funny!", Webby added, giving her best-friends a reassuring smile, though a somewhat threatening one.
-"I don't think I care about that too much."...she didn't? Oh. Well. There goes the entire base of their plans. "My family isn't here, neither is my home, I don't have my powers, I struggle to eat half-decent food, and I can't even make any new plans after that piece of-", she stopped herself, "Sorry, after Glomgold took everything I had monetarily. In other words, life isn't looking too great for me.", she finished indifferently, though a bit sad and bitter. Huh. That's...really odd. Bitter yes, but sad? Lena wouldn't have ever expected that from her.
-"Tough luck, lady. There's a great pharmacy that sells anti-depressants on the next corner. You know. If you're like me and lost all the joy your life ever had.", the former-luckiest duck in the world suggested darkly, pointing a thumb somewhere. "Look, I don't know you, you don't know me, but please just do me a favour, alright? I need your help. Magic or whatever I just...I just need my luck bad. I need my life back. Can you please help us for the good of your heart?", he got down on his knees and begged, not showing too much emotion, but just enough to almost make you forget his bitterness a moment ago. Almost.
-"...Yeah, listen, the 'good of my heart' doesn't really exist, and even if it did, then I won't be giving it to you of all people.", well...Lena couldn't say she wouldn't say something similar to some duck she barely even knew. Unlike Magica, however, she'd actually accept. Probably. "But it seems Scrooge's thinking isn't there quite yet for all of you.", she stated, almost with disappointment, as she brought two fingers to her temple. "My life at this point is in danger...but that's not really what's motivating me here. What do I have to gain?", ah, straight to the point, are we?
-"What, keeping your life isn't enough for you?", her former-shadow snarked back, utilizing the opportunity to show no respect whatsoever. Ah, that felt good. It didn't feel good to see her nemesis laugh at her, however, as if she knew something she didn't.
-"Now, I may be misunderstanding this, but you don't have much time, yes? Phantom Bolt or whatever is already striking. Both of our lives are endangered, and if it means taking you out...well, I don't need to say much, eh?", oh, how Lena hated the smugness in her voice. They'd accounted for this, but she just wanted to punch her in her stupid beak so much!
-"Fine, does this make you any more inclined?", the younger witch pulled out a purple gem, dangling it from her finger and immediately making Magica's pupils widen.
-"My Sumerian Amulet!", she yelled, throwing herself on Lena, though not with so much force the latter wasn't able to repel her. Indeed, all the younger duckling had to do was raise a hand as her 'aunt' tried grabbing the amulet that was dangling so close to her.
-"There, feeling a bit more excited now?", the intelligent, sharp voice of Violet observed. "We know how much this means to you. Maybe you could even regain your magic with it, yes? This is as much as we're going to offer, so if you don't want it..."
-"...Fine!", came the near-instant response. Magica was biting her lower beak, looking majorly conflicted. "Alright, you have some of ol' Scroogie in you. You want my help? Fine. Fine, no really. How about we seal the deal, then? I help you with whatever it is you want to beat the Phantom Blot, you give me back my Sumerian Amulet, and we all try to kill each other sometime later, affaire conclue?", she extended a fingerless-ly gloved hand, looking all-too-gleeful about all of this. Lena knew the amulet was powerful, but the way Magica accepted their offer...it gave her second thoughts about giving her the amulet.
-"It means 'deal?', Mr.Gladstone.", she heard her step-sister tell the triplets' uncle. Apparently, he wasn't too fond of Magica's new terminology...but then again, neither was Lena. "Though I must wonder how you know of French, Magica.", the short hummingbird muttered as she extended a hand alongside the other three ducks.
-"I have some Savoyard cousins. You're not the only ones with a family here.", came the dry answer.
It took a moment of hesitation, with everyone almost certain that the other side will pull out at the last second. Then, suddenly, Webby's hand went forward and shook, or rather, grabbed Magica's. Violet soon followed, and Gladstone did as they did. That only left Lena, who stared at Magica. If she shakes this hand...she'll take orders from her again. She'll give her the amulet that will make her able to hurt her again. She didn't want to do this...but she had to. Not only for herself, but for her friends. For everyone who depended on her, she took a breath and forced her hand to shake with Magica's. It was...huh. Wow. Her fingers were tiny compared to Lena. How did she never notice?
-"Lovely. Now, you're trying to go after this Phantom Whatever, yes?", the cape-drapped witch asked, looking a bit more enthusiastic. She received a nod from everyone, Gladstone included. "Very well, I can make you an elixir to poison him, though it's going to take some-"
-"Woah woah woah, we're trying to defend ourselves here! Not everyone is a murderer like you!", Lena objected, waving her arms frantically just as her 'aunt' was going to enter her hut. She earned a disapproving stare. She hated them.
-"He's going to kill you, Lena. You're being naïve if you think showing kindness is going to change someone who's bent on murdering you.", the sorceress mocked, resting her hand on her hip. "Besides, why come here in the first place if you're all such big fans of Gandhi?"
-"We want you to teach Lena spell.", Webby replied, her axe still unsheathed, though it only gained an unimpressed look as her enemy got used to it. "We can defeat the Phantom Blot without resorting to your methods, and you'll see that yourself!", she proudly continued, lifting the axe a little higher.
-"A spell?", Magica repeated, mystified. "You...You want me to teach you a spell?! To be back where I belong? To rejoin my magical destiny-", oh, come on. Couldn't she stay clam for five minutes? Why was she acting like a hyperactive child all of sudden? That wasn't how she was supposed to act!
-"Yes, yes, all of that. Now if you could just-"
-"Ooooh, it feels good to be back!", deciding that two could play at the interruptions game, she ignored her 'niece' as she wrapped her cloak around her, covering her beak and moving her fingers for dramatic effect.
-"You are exhausting to be around, you know that?", Lena quipped, glaring at the far-too-gleeful duck in front of her.
-"I try. Now, what spell do you exactly want?"
-"We were thinking about trying a spell to locate the Phantom Blot.", Violet explained, and Lena couldn't help but notice Magica tilted her head just a teeny tiny bit. "We want to know where he is, and if possible, bring him to us.", she clarified, her dignified tone not wavering.
-"You seem worried, witch. Are you worried because you're trying to play us and now you can't?", Webby interrogated with her 'detective accent', looking suspicious to Magica's current indescribable expression.
-"No, it's not that, it's just...Locating people and things is more of a Teleporter thing...", she answered, almost begrudgingly.
-"Welp, we came to the wrong person. I told you! We needed a teleporter, we have a witch. And we made a deal. This is just fan-tastic.", ever the positive one, Lena ranted as she started walking around, waving her arms, exasperated.
-"Of course it would be you to not know magic-branches, Lena.", her 'aunt' scolded, noticing Webby's sudden axe-swing and trying to ignore the obvious threat. "Teleporting is magic. Just a branch of it. I'm more talented in the spells branch and the alchemy branch, alongside shadow-manipulation, of course. Teleporting...well, I can help you. I tried learning it, after all.", she boasted, mumbling the last part to herself more than to the ducklings surrounding her.
-"Branches, huh...And how can we know you're not just messing with us? You could be saying absolute mallarcky!", the seater-wearing duck accused, earning an undignified huff from the older sorceress.
-"I said I tried learning it, and not without some success.", she claimed, hoping to satisfy Lena's questions and just get closer to getting the darn amulet. She didn't. "Listen, my brother was a pretty good Teleporter. I'll tell you what he told me, alright?", she explained further, noticeably uncomfortable with what she was saying.
-"How come I never heard of him if he's so go-"
-"Because you've never spent more than two months in Europe, you brat! Don't you dare talk about the King Of Napoli like that!", she screamed, looking more threatening by the second. A full-blown beatdown was about to ensue if it wasn't for Gladstone, of all people.
-"Hey...I remember that name...He stole my car when I was on a trip in Europe! And my newly-won crown which I won in Barbaria!", he recounted, looking far-too-happy for what he was saying.
-"Bavaria.", Violet corrected.
-"Whatever, he just teleported in my car and stole it after throwing me out! And he had someone else with him, too!", the former-luck king continued, still looking inexplicably happy. "I never thanked him for his service! Some old lady saw the accident and thought I needed help, so she gave me one of her luxury jets to console me! Told me nobody was safe from the King Of Napopi.", he finished, a smile on his face. "That was before the whole...unlucky thing...", and now he was going to be depressed again.
-"See? Now just listen to what I tell you and you should be fine!", the elder duck ordered, apparently unable to sense the internal moment of struggle Lena had before she obeyed, taking a step forward.
-"Yes...Magica.", she muttered under her breath, standing in front of her arch nemesis' cold stare. Her friends were there to protect her. There was nothing to fear. Nothing to fear at all. This was just a forced training session. She was going to get through this.
-"I'd appreciate it if you call me Miss Magica.", and yet it didn't seem like her momentary teacher was willing to make this easy for the both of them. Holding her sly smile, she straightened her back and looked at her forced-apprentice for a second. "Let your magic run through you. Teleportation is a complex art, and all its branches need a constant flow of magic through one's self. Location is no different, let the magic run through your body.", she stated, trying to throw her cloak in a dramatic way.
-"Okay so...like this?", the tallest duckling asked, holding her right arm in front of her and sensing the tingling sensation of magic as it coursed through her. She came to control it after a multitude of attempts, so this wasn't much of a trial. "Oh, and since I might as well milk you for whatever you're worth, can I change this colour? I hate this purple.", she wondered, noting that she didn't get any reply before forcing her vocal cords to add "Miss Magica?"
-"Hmm, well, I don't know, the colour of one's magic is determined by both their will and their chosen Branch of Magic, I had to go through lots of training to change my magic's colour, and since this is my magic,", she pointed at the flame-like purple shape that surrounded her 'niece', "It's going to take a lot of time for you to change it back. But it's no special technique. Some can immediately change it, others cannot. It comes eventually.", she continued indifferently, paying attention to the magic that was radiating off of Lena.
-"Don't talk to Lena like that!", the Vanderquack reaffirmed her stance on Magica as she exchanged glares with the now-dysfunctional sorceress.
-"Webs, it's fine. I can deal with her.", her best-friend answered, turning her attention back to her teacher. Oh, how she hated that she had to refer to her as that! Nevertheless, she was surprised she actually got an answer. She expected some insults and nothing else, but it seemed that once they had a deal...she worked with it. It was...unnerving.
-"When it comes to searching for something, you must see it with your blind eye. You must both wish for it, see it in your mind, and release enough magical surges to clear the way for you. Only then will you sense where what you search for lies. For example, I have a red neckerchief in my house with a raven on it in my home. Try sensing where it is.", the DeSpell explained emotionlessly, guiding Lena a bit closer to her home.
She closed her eyes, as she was told, and tried seeing the neckerchief. Red...raven...yep, pretty plain alright. And yet...she tried releasing energy as she was told, but the only thing that was getting released was a bunch of aimless magical balls that deflated on the ground. She couldn't sense anything. She had the image in her brain, but she couldn't really...get 'it', if that made any sense.
-"Not good. As expected, you cannot properly use my magic. Perhaps you need to be more emotionally motivated to feel the 'click'?", of course it would be like Magica to benefit off this situation. Of course. Well, at least she was partially right. Lena grunted as a response, not wanting to give her trainer any more satisfaction than necessary. "Then we must up the risks a bit.", the elder sorceress claimed moving a bit to where her friends stood.
-"Listen here, Magica! Lena's trying her best, and we have no need for you! If you ever- Hey! My...bow...", in an instant, there was a 'splash'. The eldest of the ducklings turned around to see Webby without her iconic bow staring into the stagnant water of the swamp, shocked and furious at the same time. "That was a gift from my grandma!", she yelled back.
-"Oh, quit it, you want to help your oh-so-precious friends, yes? Then let me teach!", the witch shot coldly, evading an axe swing with relative ease, watching as the energetic duckling gritted her beak; they had no one to trust but her. "Now, Lena, this swamp is filled with alligators and all sorts of nasty creatures. If we don't find Debby's bow in five minutes, it might as well be gone forever. If you can find where I threw it, I'll go get it myself. Sounds good?", too good. Especially that last part. In fact, only that last part, since Lena had little faith that she could succeed.
When everyone around her went silent, the young witch turned her head to Webby. She looked distraught. Closing her eyes once more, she faced the swamp and tried sensing for the bow. Pink, small, and plain. It was a rather noticeable part of Webby. Something that clearly meant a lot for her. If she could find it...Then she'd have helped her friends. She saw it...she willed it...and she started releasing magical sparks. For a moment, just like last time, they merely deflated.
Then, all of a sudden...she felt 'it'. A guiding feeling...like an arm on her shoulders. It made her open her eyes, but she could still see the bow. She saw it. She felt it. It was pulsing...the pulsing pushed her to where it came from:...Away from the water? It was behind her. But the only thing behind her was...she turned around to look at Magica, who had a detestably smug expression on her face as she showed Lena her fingerless-ly gloved left hand. The glove had a small bulge near the wrist.
-"Seems as if I was correct.", was all she said. Lena didn't growl or frown this time. She had no reason to. It slightly angered her to agree with her 'aunt', but as far as correctness went, there wasn't much to critique here. "I learnt this little trick as a little girl. It can help you in a tough spot.", she added as she removed it from under her glove, throwing it into her student's hand. "There, I made good on my promise, right?"
...She did?...Well, yes, she did teach her. Lena thought that she didn't mention some things, such as the formula or how much energy one should dedicate, but in the end, those details were all discovered by her apprentice with no need for more external help. She, should she follow the instructions correctly, was now technically able to find the Phantom Blot.
Then why did she feel something wrong? She felt as if something wasn't quite...right, to put it simply. She expected a bigger fight with Magica. Harsher treatment. Little to no emotions, but it was just...meh. Nothing too big. She stared again the the elder witch. She was smiling. It was a smug smile alright, but it was a smile. It wasn't something she expected to see of Magica. Perhaps as a result of her disdain for her 'aunt' she, too, came to see her as incapable of being a person.
-"I guess so...", she murmured, knowing exactly where her former-teacher at this point was going. She prepared her amulet, not wishing to give it away. "Her name is Webby, by the way.", she added, not getting a response
-"I told you my brother was a good teacher.", her fifteen-minute trainer mumbled, more to herself than to anyone else, and Lena felt awkward. She stared back at her friends.
-"I...uh. Sorry about him. Dying. I guess.", she whispered but it caught the attention of Magica, and she looked positively shocked. "Don't look so shocked. Respect the dead and all that.", that came out wrong. So wrong. If she meant to disrespect him, she couldn't have done worse.
-"Heh...listen, sometimes faking death is a bit easier with magic on your side. If you're willing to share a bit more than the amulet, then maybe I can tell you about him.", she smiled again, though this was one of her more typical smiles, if still an actual smile. Huh. Curious
But just as the newly trained sorceress was about to say something, a 'zap' echoed in the swamp. There was light for a moment, and Magica had to jump to avoid the bolt that zapped a part of her hair and neck. Everyone turned in a split second to see a black-clothed figure with green eyes and a metallic glove on his right hand.
-"And I was just about to pick this four-leaved clover, too...", was the only sentence uttered for a solid minute. And by Gladstone of all people.
The Phantom Blot looked menacing. Pure, undiluted, unadulterated intimidation radiated off of his clothed figure. From afar, you wouldn't be blamed if you thought he was a medieval executioner. The metallic glove on his hand looked more electronic than medieval on closer inspection, but that didn't matter too much. His eyes, fully green by some method, conveyed little emotions, but there's something Lena sensed from him: Hatred.
-"Finally...", his clunky, distorted and terrifying voice announced, his footsteps calculated and his eyes focused. "It seems my searching has led me to the most vile of beings, at last.", he added, closing his fist.
-"The most vile of beings? Listen, I heard some nasty things about ducks, but come on man-", Gladstone tried countering, only to receive a bolt that knocked him over, making him grunt.
-"Not you, you imbecile! These WITCHES!", he cried, hatred drenching his words as he advanced. He most certainly had an accent...But Lena couldn't just pin-point it...though she thought she heard it sometime in the past...
-"These what now?", Magica repeated, apparently offended.
-"WITCHES!", he repeated, not slowing his advance as the group of ducks slowly backed off. "You come in with your magic, destroy cities with your undeserved power, and you...you're never satisfied! You always want more! You never leave something to the people who work for their power!", he ranted shooting a couple of bolts that forced the group the yell and retreat further to Magica's hut.
-"Oh. Witches. I think I still hate you, but a little less than when I thought you said-"
-"It would just be like you to show up now, huh?!", back to interrupting Magica, it was Lena who couldn't keep it in her head anymore. "I spend an hour with Magica to learn how to find you and you just show up like that?! Couldn't you have came in a little early?! Do you have any idea what kind of deal we made?!", she complained, ranting at him, and forcing him to do a double take on her words.
-"Not only are you a witch, but you are a sore loser. I could make my nonna's pasta with that much salt!", he mocked, doing a small laugh that almost sounded dead...like, the whole laughing part was there, but there was no spirit behind it. Just a sick, twisted glee.
-"Hey, hold it there for a minute, you're italian?", Magica asked, flabbergasted. Ah. Right. Sometimes Magica lost control of her British accent in front of Lena. Now she remembered. But really? This was the thing she asked about? Why would that matt-
-"Indeed, and my heart shall always remain there! It is why I find great pleasure and cleaning Napoli of your filth!", he growled, firing another shot which she barely avoided but backing her into the tree where her hut was located.
-"Oooh, you're digging your own grave here, you Blot! I am a proud Neapolitan, and the mere name is much more than wherever you're from!", she challenged, pointing an accusing finger as the other ducks stared at each other. They didn't know what exactly was unfolding in front of them, but it couldn't have been anything good.
-"Don't you dare insult Genova, you wretch!", he shot back, almost losing his nerves for a second before calming down. "No. I am much better than losing my nerves to a fiend like you! Prepare for justice!", he suddenly declared, and the speed of it made Magica unable to dodge the bolt he fired, punching her into Gladstone, who tried hiding behind her, and throwing the both of them into the trunk of her tree. She fell down with a hard 'crack', leaving Gladstone in a duck-shaped impression.
-"Wh-Why me...?!", he lamented before falling. The sorceress tried getting up but she limped.
-"Magica!", Lena yelled. Why did she yell? Why could she possibly yell?...Because if she dies, he's going after them. Definitely. She ran, trying to raise a shield to protect her from another, more frightening zap that would've hit her. Heck, even then, it shattered Lena's shield. Crud, this guy really isn't messing around anymore. But then a pink figure shined behind the Phantom. Yes! Webby was doing it!
-"How's this for justice!", she cried from behind him as she jumped, but he was good. Too good. He managed to spin his entire figure, raise his mechanical weapon and take a fighting pose at once, stopping his assailant's hit. Oh. This guy wasn't going to be any fun, was he?
-"You...Hah! It wasn't enough!", he bragged, pulling the battle-axe from his glove as his previous wielder suffered from the vibrations of hitting a metal. One powerful grab and swing from his glove sent Webby back to her friends, face in the dirt, and with no weapon.
-"What kind of justice are you hoping to achieve?!", cried Violet, hoping to buy them some time. It didn't work, and he only accelerated his assault, firing multiple electrical charges or whatever these were, forcing the ducks to separate.
-"Justice is not my primary concern, hummingbird. I am a criminal, after all, but if I can do my job and rid the world of this evil, then I shall take the initiative!", he calmly replied, not paying any attention to the fact that most of them were getting zapped or were running in terror. "But enough playing around, I do not wish to fail now!", he stopped, preparing what seemed to be a worse, more powerful form of his weapon.
-"Lena, do you think we can take him on?", Violet asked, trying to get them regroup.
-"Nope."
-"Webby, do you have any more weapons?", she turned to the Vanderquack, trying to assume to role of the leader.
-"Don't really think they're going to affect him.", she answered pulling out a few knives that looked like toothpicks comapred to her axe.
-"Mr.Gladstone-"
-"Don't have my luck; can't do anything.", came the reply.
-"...Magica?", she asked her voice a bit desperate.
-"My shotgun has one more round in it.", she declared, pointing it at their attacker, who finished upgrading himself and was about to shoot once again. "We're going to die, aren't we?"
-"Probably.", Lena answered her, watching the black-wearing man as he began shooting at them again.
Well. Nothing else to do but to face the music, as they say. Whoever 'they' is. And whatever that meant. And whatever that had to do with their situation. Oh, give her a break. She didn't have time to think about this fight of theirs. Magic versus one very wronged, apparently, and angry man and his technology. The fight of the century.
The Phantom versus The Sorceress. Time to see how long they can stay alive.

@wilwheaton Soooo... I decided to write a CYOA in the chat after you were unable to stream. I only got the idea to copy/paste the chat AFTER we’d finished, so I only have a partial transcript of the chat (though I do have all of my story, as I figured I might need to check facts when/if we went back).
If you’re still having a frustrating day, have a read. It’s a bit long, as a warning; formatting is a bit slapdash. It’s silly and weird and made up approximately .0002 seconds before I wrote each part. And those of us who stuck around made a thing where there wasn’t a thing before because you inspired us. 
If you curl up and crybecause Twitch wouldn’t work, turn to page 6. If you thank Wil and get on with your night, turn to page 8. If you do both, turn to page 11.
*turns to page 11* You have yourself a good sniffle, then thank Wil for trying. Now you must choose how to spend your night? Turn to page 13 to watch The Great British Bake-Off, turn to page 14 to investigate the strange whirring noise outside  *turns to page 14* You thought the whirring noise was just your computer acting up, but as you shut it, the noise persists. It's coming from outside *turns page* There's a strange light coming from behind your trash can. Turn to page 16, to investigate silently, turn to page 19 to call out "Who's there?" 16s have it! *turns to page 16* You pad forward silently, stealthy like a ninja As you peek behind the trash can, you see a small, glowing thing that looks furred. Turn to page 21 if you pet it. Turn to page 22 if you say 'hello' *turns to page 21* You reach forward and start to stroke the animal-looking creature's fur. It hisses at you, reveals row after row of teeth and those teeth are the last thing you see. The end. Guys, we died. I'm going to take us to page 22 On page 22* You call out, "hello" in a soft voice.
The creature looks up at you, mouth turned down as if sad. In appearances, it looks like a brown version of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, but with three sets of eyes and three sets of arms. "Hello," it replies. "Can you understand me? My ship crashed and I don't know if my translator was damaged in the landing.". *turns page* "I can understand you," you say. "What's your name?"
"I am Jasek, explorer of the five galaxies. I was meant to just pass through your solar system, but my ship was hit by an asteroid and I had to land here. Will you help me repair it? If you do, I will take you to outer space."  Time to make a choice! If you run away and call animal control, turn to page 25. If you agree to help Jasek, turn to page 27 You agree to help and Jasek smiles, revealing row after row of sharp, vicious looking teeth. You recoil.
"Do not be afraid, friend," Jasek says. "We Umlogeri only deliver killing bites when we are startled. It was wise of you to announce yourself." *pointed look at the audience* Jasek shows you a blueprint of his ship. It's full of strange markings that you cannot read, but also pictures of the various ship parts. "I have found all but one of the parts so far. This one," Jasek points to a device that looks like an 1980s style cell mobile, big and blocky with an antenna on the top. "If you can find it, we can get to work repairing my ship." Time to make another choice! If you search near Jasek and the trash can, turn to page 29. If you head into the woods behind your house to look, turn to page 36
sarahmasked : 36
Sam_is_Rocking : 36
trekkiepirate : Oh this is a close one
serenitynowgirl : 29
Deliciasez : uhh
Deliciasez : tied?
willmr0102 : trekkie should decide for us
trekkiepirate : But the 36s have it (or did when I started writing, so guess what they win)! *turns to page 36* YOU leave Jasek tinkering with some bent pieces of machinery and head to the woods behind your house. You play in among the trees often and so, even in the waning light of the gloaming, you can navigate. You look for anything out of place, and eventually see the fading sun glint off something near an old tree trunk
Sam_is_Rocking : omg
Sam_is_Rocking : WHAT IS IT
trekkiepirate : *turns page* You come across something that looks much like the picture, but the antenna is missing. If you look for the antenna nearby, turn to page 39, if you take it back to Jasek as is, turn to page 47
Calicojane : 39
Deliciasez : 39
sarahmasked : 39
maximoff_73 : 39
willmr0102 : 39
springyotter : 39
trekkiepirate : 39 has it!
Sam_is_Rocking : 339
Sam_is_Rocking : 39*
trekkiepirate : As you searched the nearby ground, you spy something that looks like the antenna and give it a good yank. "OWWWWWWW!" Since Jasek didn't warn you about antennas that talk, you drop what you grabbed and startle back. A large butterfly crawls up over the trunk and sits in the middle. "What are you doing, going around grabbing folks like that? You nearly yanked my left antenna off."
trekkiepirate : *turns page* "I'm sorry," you say, off-kilter though you are, you were raised to apologize when you hurt another, even unintentionally. "Um, I was actually looking for an antenna like yours. But metal, not... insect-y."
willmr0102 : lol
trekkiepirate : *turns page* "Well," the butterfly flaps a couple times, yet doesn't take off. "At least you apologized. I think I saw the antenna you're looking for. I'll tell you where it is if you'll help me." To help the giant, talking butterfly (cause that's what you get when you make things up really quickly), turn to page 50. To return with what you found to Jasek, turn to page 53
Deliciasez : 50
sarahmasked : 50
willmr0102 : 50 we've trusted the aliens so far
Calicojane : 50
Deliciasez : hmm.. yeah the fact that the butterfly is talking should have raised a red flag, eh?
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : ooh yes small summary maybe?
willmr0102 : lol
springyotter : 53
maximoff_73 : 50
trekkiepirate : For the second time tonight, you decide to trust what you can only assume is an alien. "I'll help you." "Excellent," the butterfly flutters again, still unable to gain lift. If you could just," the butterfly turns and you see a mess of spiderweb caught between the back portion of its wings. "I've flapped all I can, but it's sticky and won't dislodge. Can you take it off? Gently now."
willmr0102 : crap
Deliciasez : aww
Deliciasez : please not death by spiders. again.
trekkiepirate : To use your hands to get rid of the spiderweb, turn to page 55. To instead lead the butterfly back to Jasek so other alien can help, turn to page 56
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : no we're not touching that
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : 56
Deliciasez : nooope
willmr0102 : 56
Deliciasez : 56
sarahmasked : 55
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : sarah pls
maximoff_73 : 56
trekkiepirate : (ya'll have good survival instincts. Yeah, 55 was gonna lead to death)
trekkiepirate : 56s have it!
willmr0102 : i don't think spiders/webs are ever good in these situations
Deliciasez : *whew*
trekkiepirate : You gently scoop the butterfly into your hands, then place the ship part in your back pocket. "What are you doing?" The butterfly flapped, annoyed. "Just take the strands off my wings." "I think I'll let my friend help you with that," you reply. "I might do something wrong and hurt your wings worse."
trekkiepirate : *turns page*
trekkiepirate : When you return to the trash can, Jasek isn't in sight, but a small ship is. "Jasek, can you help me?" You call out. The butterfly flaps harder. "You fool!" Jasek pops his head from the ship and his face darkens. "So, Rebugno. I was wondering what happened to you." You turn to the butterfly, now struggling harder to fly away. "You know each other?"
willmr0102 : i kinda hope he eats the butterfly
Deliciasez : noooo!
willmr0102 : the butterfly tried to kill us though
Deliciasez : not on purpose! ..maybe..
trekkiepirate : *turns page* "Rebugno is my prisoner. Exploring doesn't pay the bills, so I carry prisoners from one galaxy to another. Rebugno is due to be in the Alacon Galaxy's maximum security prison by the morning, but that asteroid has damaged my ship." Jasek looks up at you. "Thank you for returning the prisoner. I'll take him now." "NOOOOO" Rebugno shouts. I'm the warden of the Alacon prison and Jasek is the prisoner. He knocked us off course on purpose and when we crashed, bound my wings and stole the ship. Didn't get too far," the butterfly sneers
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : I really wish I had some wine for this social occassion XD
trekkiepirate : Choice time! If you choose to believe Jasek and turn over the butterfly, turn to page 63. If you believe Rebugno and free his wings, turn to page 66. CHOOSE NOW
willmr0102 : 63
maximoff_73 : 63
trekkiepirate : Guys, I'm really enjoying this. It's part improv, part writing prompt, part "OH DEAR LORDY WHAT AM I DOING AHHHH"
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : 66
springyotter : 63
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : good!! this is fun
Deliciasez : 63
maximoff_73 : its a great time
sarahmasked : 63
willmr0102 : thank you, trekkie this is fun
trekkiepirate : 63s have it!
trekkiepirate : *turns to page 63* You smile at Jasek and hand over the butterfly. "Thank you, my friend," Jasek says, before using his rows of teeth to devour the butterfly whole. "I wanted an appetizer before my main course." The last of the sun's rays glimmer off Jasek's many teeth as he attacks.
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : YAssssss
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : TOLD YALL
trekkiepirate : Welp, down to one life now. Shall we change our last decision or go back furrther?
willmr0102 : i still think the butterfly was trying to kill us
Deliciasez : daang
sarahmasked : I am so hurt by Jasek's betrayal.
maximoff_73 : the butterfly totally wanted us dead too
willmr0102 : should we go back further then?
Deliciasez : go back further!
trekkiepirate : So do we believe the butterfly or do we want to change something else?
willmr0102 : we do not believe the butterfly!
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : lets not believe the butterfly tho that things sketch af
sarahmasked : I don't like the butterfly...
trekkiepirate : So where do we go back to?
Deliciasez : let's take the phone right to him instead of hunting for the antennae? he may eat us though..
Deliciasez : maybe we should just go get him a sandwich
willmr0102 : lol
maximoff_73 : #DoNotTrustTheButterfly
Sam_is_Rocking : I'm back!
Deliciasez : welcome back
Sam_is_Rocking : Had to do homework.
maximoff_73 : Heyyy Sam
willmr0102 : okay, yeah, lets take the phone back
Deliciasez : that hashtag sounds like a good one
willmr0102 : hi Sam
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : eyyy
Sam_is_Rocking : HI! LOVE THE HASTAG!
Sam_is_Rocking : hashtag*
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : thats a simpsons reference amaze
trekkiepirate : So we take the phone back immediately? All right *flips pages*
Sam_is_Rocking : GOTTA GOOOOOO LOVE YOU
Sam_is_Rocking : Love you all!!!!
willmr0102 : lol
willmr0102 : bye
trekkiepirate : Love you too Sam!
maximoff_73 : bye
Deliciasez : see ya!
willmr0102 : anyone else imagine a brief clip of the Cheers theme cuz of Sam?
Deliciasez : yes!
maximoff_73 : omg
maximoff_73 : I should watch Cheers later...
Deliciasez : It's on Netflix.....
willmr0102 : it's come on at 3 am on one of my cable channels lol
trekkiepirate : *on page 47* You return to Jasek with the part. He looks less than thrilled. "Can you still fix it?" You ask. "I can," Jasek says. But I do need an antenna of some kind." To go steal the TV antenna (b/c it's the 80s and those things still exist), turn to page 48. To give Jasek a green pipe cleaner left over from a school project, turn to page 49
willmr0102 : a school project lol
trekkiepirate : (sorry for the wait, had to go back and reread)
Deliciasez : he'll have to untwist it from the cat-shape I have it in now..
willmr0102 : 48
maximoff_73 : sounds like a good use of my time, screw doing the homework i really wasn't going to do anyway. 48!
sarahmasked : 48 only the best for our pal Jasek who definitely would never eat us
springyotter : 49 since we'd have to climb onto the roof for 48
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : omfg
Deliciasez : 48 because my tv only gets 3 channels anyway even with this dumb antenna
willmr0102 : if we act too stupid, he might eat us sooner
trekkiepirate : 48 has it!
willmr0102 : oh, that's a good point i forgot about the roof
Deliciasez : I'm pretty sure you're tall enough just to reach the antenna, @springyotter
trekkiepirate : You return with the bunny ears off the TV. Jasek thanks you again and with some jiggery-pokery, you manage to get the part repaired. "I finished the other repairs while I waited for you," Jasek says. "I"m all ready to go back into space. Would you like to come with me?"
Deliciasez : no way man, not gonna be your packed lunch!!
willmr0102 : umm no
trekkiepirate : Choice! To accept Jasek's invitation and get into the space ship, turn to page 84. To say no, it's a school night and your dad's gonna be angry enough for what you did to the TV turn to page 86 CHOOSE NOW
Deliciasez : tell him where the butterfly is so he can take it with him..
willmr0102 : 86
Deliciasez : 86
springyotter : 86
willmr0102 : we should throw the butterfly in his face
maximoff_73 : 84, we'll probably die but SPACE C'MON
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : no
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : 86
sarahmasked : 84 outer space!!!
irulethegalaxy : If the choice is between space and NOT space, you should ALWAYS choose space.
willmr0102 : he already ate us one!
Deliciasez : twice, actually
trekkiepirate : 86 has it, but they're both endings, so we'll look through both.
willmr0102 : yay
maximoff_73 : sweet
trekkiepirate : You wave goodbye as Jasek takes off in his ship. You return to your house with the mutilated bunny ears and place them back on the TV. "It was for a school project," you tell your father when he's upset he can't watch the hockey game. "Well," Dad grumbles, "If it's for school. Why don't we just go out for ice cream then?" You even get two scoops. THE END
Deliciasez : yay!
willmr0102 : we lived!
irulethegalaxy : Nice, but NOT SPACE!
sarahmasked : what a cool dad
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : cuute
trekkiepirate : Now *flips back to page 84* "TO SPACE!" You shout, hopping into the ship. It's a bit of a squeeze, but you manage to fit anyway. Jasek is true to his word and takes you all the way to Saturn, swinging around the planet's rings. When he returns you o Earth, it looks different. "Um, how long did that trip take, Jasek?" You ask, because it felt like it was only a few hours. "In Earth years," Jasek mumbles figures to himself, "About 45 years. Thanks again!" And with that, he leaves you at the back of a house that is no longer your house and flies off.
trekkiepirate : THE END that had space but was also not the correct answer because I AM MAKING THIS UP AND JUST WANNA GO EAT DINNER
willmr0102 : lol
Deliciasez : aww. thanks! go eat!
trekkiepirate : And you didn't die in either
willmr0102 : Thank you for doing this, Trekkie
willmr0102 : oh, well I'm sorry to those of you who wanted space
irulethegalaxy : Dead in space is still in space though :). Thanks for the story, @trekkiepirate !
Deliciasez : icecream > space
Briar_is_nbSpaceGay : thank u!! this was fun
trekkiepirate : I'm glad ya'll enjoyed it!
sarahmasked : yay! thanks trekkie!
trekkiepirate : At least we had a little CYOA fun, even with Twitch not letting Wil stream
maximoff_73 : Thanks for this @trekkiepirate , no space but it was still freaking amazing

Imagine [Part five]
Part one | Part two | Part three | Part four 
He did ask you to come with him. He was a gentleman all night however, even offering to sleep on the couch. Keeping the distance he always has. You however, have woken up a few times that night, just because you felt his body pressed against yours and you’d start tracing the tattoos on his arms in the light peeking through the window. When you wake up the next morning, you notice however, no one is there in the room. But you do hear some mumbling coming from the living room. “Well. [Your celebrity crush], let’s be honest. We do know you as an aggressive person.” Aggressive? “So when a fight occurs, you must understand we come to you. After all, you have been in a position like that before.” So that’s what happened. He fought. Does that make you a bad boy? It’s not good, but you can do a lot worse.. “I understand officer”, you hear [your celebrity crush] say, softly. “Would you let me get dressed, and I’ll come with you.” What is going on? Something inside you boils. You think quick and mess your hair up a little more, already in the shirt [your celebrity crush] gave you last night to sleep in. You’re not a fool. You know what this looks like. You open the door, and put on a stupider voice. “What’s going on?”, you ask, yawning, placing your one naked leg in front of the other. The two policemen staring at you and then at each other. [Your celebrity crush] shaking his head, almost laughing. “We’re asking your boyfriend to come with us, regarding a fight that occurred last night. We suspect drugs are involved.” “Drugs are very bad for you”, you say, keeping the stupid act going. “We agree”, one of the officers nods. You walk closer to them. “And fighting is very bad too. But why is [your celebrity crush] asked to come?” “Your boyfriend over here has had a few punches in the past,  haven’t you?” You can tell [your celebrity crush] is avoiding your gaze. “He’s not my boyfriend”, you say, suddenly strict. “There’s also be no need to take him. If the fighting occurred last night, [your celebrity crush] has an alibi. I can confirm. Besides, you can track his phone, as [your celebrity crush] is one of the many people who has his locations switched on. Which means, you will be able to tell from when ‘till when he was at a certain place. If that’s not enough, his door has a security card access. You can see when he checked in and since he’s standing here, you can see he’s not checked out yet. I’ve also noticed a security camera above his building, if you are certain [your celebrity crush] is a rightful suspect - which he isn’t, the only reason you’re here is because of previous action and let’s be honest, you don’t have a lead - you can ask for the footage, showing he did not leave his building and was here with me. All night. You have no ground for any of this. So if you could please leave now. I’d like to get breakfast.” One of the policeman eyes you up and down, smirking and says, “A certain little girl has seen a few too many CSI episodes.” “I’m an IT specialist, you sexist pi-”, [Your celebrity crush] runs over and covers your mouth with his hand, pulling you closer to his chest. You want to lean into him, but are very aware of the staring policemen. “Alright, I think they got the point”, [your celebrity crush] smiles. “We’ll investigate this situation a little further. And we will be back.” “I’ll let the terminator know you stole his line”, you mumble, still in the arms of [your celebrity crush], but his mistake for dropping his hand. “[Your name]!”, he hisses in your ear. 
You escort the officers out. “Bye gentlemen.” After you close the door, [your celebrity crush] grabs a sweater and throws it your way. “That. Was. Badass.”, he laughs. “Can you now please get dressed? You’re distracting me.” “I told you. I’m not good.” [Your celebrity crush] sighs as he leans against the table. “Why didn’t you try and escape from the window when you heard who I used to be?” “Because you are under no obligation to stay the person you used to be, and are every minute, every second, of your life allowed to change your path. Just because you used to be in a gang when you were younger and beat up whoever would not listen, does not mean you are still that person today.” “How did you-” “I noticed the scars on your knuckles when you held me up the night we met.” You smile, before continuing, “they’ve healed, but are still very visible. My call is that you left about five years ago. Making you some kind of legend, which is why Rob was so scared of you. The tattoo of the Chinese sign for trust is a lot newer than the other ones. My guess is you placed that one over some gang name. I hoped you had the nerve to tell me at some point.” “Who are you?”, he asks, taken aback by your analysis. “You asked me to love or leave you, yesterday. And I tried to do the second, I really did. But honestly, I just can’t anymore. I can’t keep away from you.” You smile. “Then come do what the officers think you already did last night”. 
a/n: Soooo even though no one asked for this, I couldn’t quite let the story go yesterday. So here we go. I’m sorry, haha.
