Rottmnt/Fnaf sb AU

I’ve been seeing a bit of ‚future Donnie builds a robot Raph‘ stuff combined with finding out about the fnaf ruin dlc announcement and started mixing this au together…

Right off the bat, I got some loose ideas for April (maybe a security guard) and Draxum (either a mechanic or animatronic/maybe both?) so this will be about the turtles (look! they even glow in the dark!).

I was thinking that the rise turtles or ‚mad dogs‘ were a quartet of animatronics made for Alberto’s who were bought by Fazbear entertainment after the place had to close down, due to a lawsuit from fazbear entertainment regarding copyright issues (with the whole ‚Alberto being copied off of Freddy‘ thing)

At Alberto’s and later the pizzaplex their actual names are: Rocking Raph, Dancing Donnie or Dancing Dee, Laughing Leo and Magic Mikey due to their personality’s and the activities they often performed for/ with guest. Thought a lot of people just call them by the second half of their names because it’s shorter.

They get their own attraction in the pizzaplex in form of a sort of ninja warrior obstacle run/ martial arts training area.

They all have a certain time slot in which they can be found in their attraction since fazbear entertainment thought it isn’t necessarily to have all four of them be there all the time.

Raph is a new addition to the main band by filling in as a drummer, Donnie is working with DJ music man, Mikey is helping out sun/moon in the daycare by painting with the kids or showing them magic tricks, and Leo as the ‚face man‘ of the mad dogs is basically always at the obstacle course.

Although they aren’t interested in catching Gregory like the other animatronics, they will wander the pizzaplex and can hinder his Progression by accidentally alerting other animatronics to his location simply because they are curious teenagers. Therefore Gregory can decommission them as well.

Important to note here is that if Gregory chooses to disassemble/kill one of the turtles, the others WILL find out about it and attack him on sight like the others.

!it gets a bit more brutal from here on!

Donnie will mostly be seen near areas with arcade games. If you get too close to him, he will tell you to back off and snoop around elsewhere (which will alert any nearby animatronics). If you bother him in the west arcade, where he shares a stage with the DJ, he will start to chase you around the area and you are forced to decommission him by messing with his setup on the stage to cause the system to shortcircuit his headphones, effectively making his head explode. Gregory can then take his headphones which allow him to better hear what direction other animatronics are approaching him from.

Donnie won’t be attacking him afterwards and is instead seen shaking and cowering completely disoriented in corners, silently crying for one of his brothers to find and comfort him.

Mikey can be encountered basically everywhere in the pizzaplex wanting to show Gregory magic tricks, paint with him or just generally ask him questions, making him the most annoying to Gregory. During the moon segment, he will hide on top of the playstructures though.

In order to get Mikey to stop bothering you, you have to lure him to the west arcade with paint. More specifically, the room in which the robot head for the Roxy segment can be fixed. The paint has to be placed inside the lid that the robots head was taken out of after repairing it. Mikey, acrobatic as he is, will try to get the paint containers out of the machine by basically hanging from the top of the machine. Once Mikey reaches in, Gregory will kick the lid shut, startling Mikey so he falls and thus getting his lower arms snapped off.

Directly afterwards, Mikey will start to cry and run away from Gregory in fear. From then on, Gregory can see him walking around the pizzaplex with his stumps covered in paint and crying. Mikey will immediately run away if he spots him.

Leo will mostly bother Gregory around the MainStage and the turtles attraction. He will bother him by repeatedly challenging him to a match of either running through the obstacle course or a swordfight.

If Gregory chooses to run through the obstacle course, he will push Leo off balance, making him fall into the machinery of some spinning elements, which slowly crushes his lower half until it reaches his main power source.

During the swordfight, Gregory will be given one of Leo’s katanas because the practice ones aren’t ‚fun’ enough to Leo. He will trip Leo with some wires, giving him the opportunity to stab the sword through Leo’s main power source, effectively killing him.

In both instances, Leo’s last words will be „I just wanted to prove I’m better at something“ in a shaky voice.

Raph won’t bother you anywhere. He will be practicing on his drums or ‚sleep’ in Monty’s showroom/ backstage areas in a random pile of plushies and pillows he found somewhere around the pizzaplex. Mikey will oftentimes be with him.

However if you disassemble one of his brothers, he won’t be practicing/sleeping anymore and instead chase you.

If Gregory disassembles Leo, Donnie and Mikey, Raph will go savage and actively starts hunt him down and try to get Donnie’s headphones back while crying for his brothers.

The only way to get him to stop is to lure him to the obstacle course/training area se he gets distracted by Leo’s mangled body, which allows Gregory to collapse a catwalk on top of and thus behead him.

He will spend his last moments apologizing to his brothers for not being strong enough to protect them.

Throughout the night, Freddy will make a few comments about how nice and pure the turtles are and that he finds it interesting to have these younger animatronics around as well as wonder where they are if Gregory takes them out.

Is this a bit too overkill? Maybe, but this is still a fnaf au and we all know how dark the rottmnt au‘s/ fanfics can get…

#shrimp on a typewriter #rottmnt #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #fnaf sb #fnaf security breach #rottmnt/fnaf au #rottmnt april #rottmnt draxum #fnaf #a drawing shrimp?

🔥 Disaster Strikes: Dozens of Buildings Ravaged in BC Wildfires!

#KelownaInferno: A Comedy of Fiery Follies! So, there's this place called Kelowna in British Columbia, and let me tell you, it's been having a real "hot" party lately. Like, the kind of party where even the buildings are getting a taste of the action. 🏠🔥 But don't worry, folks, it's all in good fun, right? Imagine, at least 50 buildings turned into roasted marshmallows in the name of wildfires! Not your regular marshmallow-toasting bonanza, mind you, but a legit wildfire fiesta. 🍢🔥 Officials, the same folks who always seem to crash the party, declared that it's not over yet. They're like the party poopers who tell you the party's still going on even when the chips are burnt. This dude named Jason Brolund, the big cheese of firefighting in West Kelowna, says the worst-hit neighborhoods are yet to reveal their true crispy potential. Picture him saying this with a straight face, while behind him, buildings are playing their sizzling symphony. 🎶🏢🎵 And let's talk about the chaos of trying to assess the aftermath. It's like they're playing a game of "Let's Find the Address" but with melted street signs and destroyed house numbers. Can you imagine firefighters wandering around with Google Maps and Siri, going, "Nope, this is definitely not 123 Fire Lane"? 🗺️🔍 But wait, there's more! The party crashers list includes felled power lines and trees, just to make sure the firefighters have a proper obstacle course. It's like someone combined "American Ninja Warrior" with a barbeque festival. 🌳🔌🍖 So, this whole shindig started on Saturday, and the fire decided to take a chill pill for a change. I guess even wildfires need their beauty sleep, right? 🌬️🔥 And for a full 24 hours, the buildings have been saved from becoming extra-crispy nuggets. Can you hear the sigh of relief from the fire extinguishers? Phew! Chief Brolund, our superhero in this blazing adventure, calls it the "day-to-day grind of firefighting." Yep, because what's more routine than battling flames that want to turn your town into a roasted marshmallow festival? 🦸‍♂️🔥 In other news, British Columbia is like the host of the biggest bonfire bash ever. They've got 380 fires on their RSVP list, and around 30,000 people were politely asked to vacate the premises. That's right, folks, the ultimate game of "Fire or Flee" is in full swing. 🔥🏃‍♀️ And guess what? The firefighters are the real party animals here. Around 500 of them from different places are joining the fight, along with the province's own wildfire superheroes. It's like a "Firefighters United" meetup, except with way more flames. 👨‍🚒🔥👩‍🚒 But wait, the plot thickens! A fancy resort got toasted on the shores of Okanagan Lake. It's like Mother Nature decided to RSVP last minute and brought her own fiery marshmallows. Meanwhile, the city's airport has a "Sorry, we're closed" sign hanging during the day, just to give those water-bombing aircraft and firefighting helicopters some VIP airspace. And here's the kicker – the province's wildfire service claims that the sun's throwing shade thanks to all the smoke. I mean, who knew smoke signals worked on the sun? But hey, that's what you get when you invite hundreds of active fires to the party. The whole province is like, "Can someone turn off the smoke machine, please? It's getting hard to breathe." 🌞🚬 Oh, and there's this other fire, like the rebellious sibling, chilling about 100 miles north of Kelowna. It's like they heard about the marshmallow roast and decided to host their own mini-bonfire. Sibling rivalry at its finest, folks. 🔥👫 Now, let's talk about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau throwing shade at the big bad wolf – I mean, Facebook's parent company, Meta. He's all like, "Hey, Meta, stop blocking the news, or I'll give you a timeout!" Apparently, they blocked news for Canadians, and now folks affected by the fires can't find their daily dose of fire-fighting drama. But don't worry, Meta activated an "emergency service," so now you can get your fire updates while you scroll past cat videos. 🐱🔥📰 In conclusion, Kelowna's fire situation is like the wildest party you didn't RSVP for. Buildings are toasting, smoke signals are confusing the sun, and even Meta joined the fray. It's a circus, a carnival, and a marshmallow roast all rolled into one flaming extravaganza! 🎪🔥🍢## #KelownaInferno: A Comedy of Fiery Follies!

5 Pillars Of Fitness For Life

5 Pillars Of Fitness For Life - Want stellar health and a killer physique without the forced-march workouts? Get some skin back in the game with these 5 pillars of fitness for life! So, picture this: A 55-year-old grandfather of eight is hanging from a pair of bungee cords 15 feet in the air, preparing to launch himself toward a pipe suspended 6 feet away. At 55? Yup... This is the scene at the 2019 Oklahoma City finals of American Ninja Warrior, and Jon “Rockman” Stewart is tackling Bungee Road, an obstacle that has humbled several competitors half his age. The sinewy 145 pound man hurls himself into empty air, floats, locks onto the beam, swings a few times, and dismounts. The crowd cheers and whistles. The eye-popping move secures the Utah-based construction manager a trip to the show’s national finals. Stewart says he came by his fitness naturally. “I got my core strength from working our family farm as a kid in Idaho,” he says. His ripped upper body and never-quit legs were forged from 20 years of scrambling up rock faces and frequent, rigorous mountain bike outings. In other words, Stewart sculpted his incredible physique and athleticism by following his bliss. He’s not alone. People are coming at fitness from all these different angles now. Online videos have led to an exciting cross-pollination among fitness tribes. CrossFitters are doing parkour and MMA; distance runners and triathletes are trying Olympic lifting. This newly omnivorous approach to staying in shape highlights an element that’s often missing from exercise programs. In the pursuit of ripped abs and flagstone pecs, many of us have lost sight of that most essential property of physical recreation—fun. Maybe it’s time for you to find a plan that can give you the body you want without it feeling like forced labor. A plan that’s both engaging and effective, a challenge for your brain and biceps alike. Submitted for your approval: the new pillars of lifelong fitness. 1. Quit Obsessing Over How You Look Forty years ago, during the Pumping Iron era, fitness was defined by how you looked in a Speedo (yikes! Remember those??). If you didn’t have softball biceps and single-digit body fat, you had no business calling yourself fit. Today most guys realize that getting super jacked and lean is difficult to do and takes years. A recent NCAA analysis found that single-digit body fat is rare, even among elite athletes in their prime. For example: The average body fat percentage for running backs at the NFL Combine from 2006 to 2013 was nearly 12 percent. Indeed, extreme leanness and muscularity—the kind you see in supplement ads—is not only an unrealistic goal for most busy guys but also unnecessary for athleticism. Stop staring in the mirror and focus on performance instead. Work on nailing your first pull-up, then your first five. Try cracking 21 minutes in a 5K, then 19. Conquer a 5.2 rock face, then a 5.3. Train for Performance Consider the fitness journey of Scott Ferrara, 42, a teacher in Los Angeles. “In my 20s, my goal was to be as big as possible. I was in pain. I was eating 10 chicken breasts a day. It wasn’t enjoyable.” Ferrara eventually switched gears. He completed an Olympic-distance triathlon and then participated in numerous obstacle course races on the West Coast. Now that he’s more concerned about his finishing times than his arm circumference, he’s respecting his limits. “I check in to see what my body needs on a given day,” he says. Ironically, Ferrara says he looks better now than he did when he was pumping iron—a common result of switching to performance training. “Aesthetics are best obtained from training for performance,”says Mark Rippetoe, the author of Starting Strength. “Form follows function.” 2. Do Anything But Nothing Some fitness hucksters believe that certain approaches work because they resemble the activities of our forefathers. Nonsense, says Daniel Lieberman, Ph.D., a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard. “Prescribing fitness and diet regimens based solely on what our ancestors did is rife with logical problems... We also evolved to sometimes fight, lie, get anxious, age, and die.” In fact, science suggests that you can get healthier, stronger, and fitter by following any plan regularly. The CDC recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, along with twice-weekly muscle strengthening sessions. It’s not a high bar, but 76 percent of men don’t reach it, the CDC reports. That’s despite the fact that “moderate exercise” covers abroad array of activities, from jogging and yoga to martial arts and rock climbing. It even includes some activities many jocks might consider too easy. “Brisk walking on its own is great for health,” says David Katz, M.D., Ph.D., director of Yale’s Prevention Research Center. The best exercise, he says, is the exercise people actually do. Seek Simplicity and Proximity The simplest rule: do something every day. That’s not easy. For documentary filmmaker George Kunhardt, 29, that lesson came a bit later in life. “I was an athlete in high school, but when I got to college I partied a lot.” By the time he started his career, his weight was normal but his body was soft. That’s when Kunhardt discovered a CrossFit gym near his office. The key variables to its appeal were proximity and simplicity: He could walk there and do the workout that was posted on the blackboard. Now Kunhardt trains six days a week; his body is harder and he can bang out sets of 40 unbroken pullups. He’s rediscovered both his competitive fire and his love of fitness. “It’s my number one stress reliever. When I’m at the gym, I go to my happy place,” he says. So if you simply do anything active for 30 to 45 minutes a day, says Dr. Katz, your health will benefit. You will also likely enhance your quality of life and longevity. Of course, strategically varying the intensity of your activity will impact your results. That’s why we have Pillar 3. 3. Train, Don't Exercise Photo by technotr/Getty Images To a strength coach, exercise and training are as different as chalk and cheese. “Exercise is something you do today because of how it makes you feel today,”says Rippetoe. “Training is a planned process to achieve a result somewhere down the road.” Most gymgoers are exercisers, says Rippetoe. They might hit chest and tris on Monday, run a few miles on Tuesday, and shoot hoops on Thursday. Each workout bears little relation to the one before or after it, so their progress is minimal. Yes, it’s infinitely better than nothing at all. But to improve your performance at a particular activity, you need to program a performance increase for that activity consistently. “I don’t want my muscles to be confused,” he says. “I want them to know exactly how I want them to adapt.” Set Multiple Goals An effective exercise routine is shaped by specific goals—short-term as well as long-term—toward which every workout is a distinct stepping-stone. That often requires taking the long view. “Let’s say you want to run a 10K. You might have five obstacles you need to overcome before you can complete that goal,” says Alex Viada, C.S.C.S., of Complete Human Performance in Durham, North Carolina. You may need to address your mobility or body composition before you can start thinking about your running pace. But even if you have a long way to go, Viada says, just ask yourself what you can do now to bring each goal a little closer and make the big goal easier. Then get to work on that—consistently—one workout at a time. 4 . Change It Up Photo by PhotoAlto/Sandro Di Carlo Darsa/Getty Images Here's the curveball: To make that progress, you need to take strategic recovery breaks. “A lot of activities that we think are helpful are not,” says Andreo Spina, D.O., a chiropractor and mobility expert. Among these are some of our favorite pastimes. When major league baseball coaches and trainers ask him how to prevent elbow injuries in their pitchers, Spina tells them, only half jokingly, “Have them play another position.” From baseball and basketball to swimming and track-and-field events, sports are “man-made” activities, Spina argues. Many of them place asymmetrical demands on the body. Tennis and squash, for example, tax one arm and shoulder while leaving the other mostly out of the action. Swimming works your upper body more than your lower, while running and cycling do the opposite. The potential damage isn’t limited to knees and ankles. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology revealed that the heart valves of lifelong runners showed elevated risk of failure. Sure, sports belong in your training program, but focusing on a single sport or activity—year-round, with no time to heal and rebalance—might hurt you. For most of us, the ideal strategy is a three-weeks-on, one-week-off plan. For three weeks, gradually increase your workload at your activity of choice. Do more sets, reps, and weight if you’re into strength training; more distance or speed if you’re a cyclist or runner; more height, speed, or difficulty if you’re a climber. Then ease off for a week and come back to focus on a slightly different microgoal. HIIT Your Target “If you’re a runner, you might plan a block where you do hills, another where you do speed or track work, and another where you work on endurance,” says Matt Dixon, a former pro triathlete and the founder of purplepatchfitness.com.“Even that simple change of stimulus will yield bigger results than just working randomly,” he says. Reams of research have shown that one approach worth most guys’ time is high-intensity interval training, or HIIT. This involves multiple short bursts of super intense exercise (like eight rounds of 30-second bike sprints) separated by periods of low-intensity movement or rest (like 90 seconds of easy spinning). HIIT has many proven advantages over steady-state cardio. The workouts are short and adaptable, challenging both your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems and burning fat more effectively. Plus, most guys think they’re more fun. In a 2011 study, just three 20-minute HIIT workouts a week measurably improved participants’ body composition, metabolism, and cardio fitness. The one downside? You might work too hard, too fast—especially if you choose a high-impact exercise like sprinting. Avoid exhaustion and injury by doing bodyweight exercises only once a week. Squats, pushups, and step ups work well—30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for each, followed by a 2-minute rest, for 5 to 10 rounds. Try 50-meter swim sprints on another day (10 reps, resting for as long as it takes to complete 1 rep). Another day you could do hill sprints on a grassy surface (do 10 and then walk down the hill to recover). Bored or excessively sore? Just abbreviate your work periods, or do mobility exercises during your rest time. 5. Listen to Your Body Photo by Mike Kemp/Getty Images Two years ago, John Short, a 60-year-old professor at Cal State Fullerton, was a chronic overexerter. He’d play 90 holes of golf over a weekend, jump into pickup basketball games, and power through sets of burpees—with a 40-pound vest—just to see if he could do it. Sometime between his umpteenth acupuncture treatment and anti-inflammatory injection, Short got wise. “When you’re in your late 50s, you have to walk a fine line between pushing enough and pushing too far,” he says. He dropped the weighted burpees, hooked up with a trainer, and replaced running with rucking—walking with a weighted pack. He’s currently gunning for an injury-free, top 10 finish in a Spartan race. He’s training smarter. “So many guys my age get hurt and pack it in,” Short says. The answer isn’t to give up altogether; it’s to adjust your routine. Exercise is dose-dependent medicine—your body thrives on just enough of it. “Beyond a certain point, there is actually net harm from extreme exertion,” says Dr. Katz. Dialing It Back Can Be Smart How do you find the sweet spot? Make sure your workout feels like work. Lifting to “volitional fatigue,” the point at which you can’t do any more reps while maintaining good form, is a more significant factor in determining muscle growth than weight lifted or reps performed, a new study reveals. “As long as you work to fatigue, it doesn’t matter whether you’re lifting 125 pounds 25 times or 250 pounds eight times,” says study author Stuart Phillips, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University. Hard work leads to progress, regardless of the load lifted. To determine when you’ve reached your limit on a workout or activity, try the toe-touch test: Before your workout and between sets (or sprints or rounds of golf or sets of tennis), bend forward and reach for your toes. “If the movement you’re performing agrees with you, you’ll find that your range of motion will increase,” says David Dellanave, C.S.C.S., a Philadelphia strength coach. Feeling looser and being able to reach farther means your body is green-lighting that exercise. If, on the other hand, you get tighter (you can’t bend forward as far), then adjust, move on to a new exercise, or towel off and head home. Skipping a set or two in a planned work-out sounds heretical to some hard-core gymgoers. Dellanave disagrees: “Unless you’re a competitive athlete, there’s no need to do any particular exercise in a training session,” he says. Your mission, then, is to put these rules together to figure out your perfect training plan. It starts with doing things consistently (Pillar 2). Fine-tune with Pillar 4. Choose a range of activities in a variety of intensities: two or three days of higher-in-tensity activities (sprints, heavy lifting, climbing, or body-weight strength circuits) coupled with another two or three days of easier stuff, like hiking, jogging, or cycling. Track a few metrics, such as distance covered, weight lifted, and reps completed so you know when you’re get-ting better (as per Pillars 1 and 3), and use those stats to determine if you should go hard or go home (Pillar 5). Finally, whenever and however you can, whether it’s part of a formal workout or not, just play. Shoot hoops with friends, toss a ball with your kid, make like a ninja on the monkey bars. “Pick something you like and go for it,” says Stewart. “If you don’t have a smile on your face when you’re working out, you’re doing something wrong.” Read the full article

Okay, my partner and I have been binge watching Ninja Warrior, the original one from G4 that was based in Japan, and all I can keep thinking about is the Brothers attempting the different obstacles, lol.

I honestly feel that all the brothers would get through the first stage of the Log Jump, Rolling Log, Jump Hang, Warped Wall, and the Rope Climb.

Lucifer and Mammon would probably be show-boaty, especially Mammon, lol. He would flex and show off, almost barely run out of time with all his silliness. Lucifer would just smirk and show off how fast he can move cause he can be a cocky little shit, just breathing through it all with how strong he is.

We give Levi a hard time for not being very fit despite having abs (especially in that one Devilgram piece where Beel attempts to train him), but I feel he would be so into the tournament that he would show his strength and endurance really well! He'll collapse into an exhausted ball of demon, but he would have done it proudly!

Satan would just go right through everything just as quickly as Luci, though he would do his best to beat his time and just grin like a Cheshire cat once he accomplishes it. (Cue a giant rivalry to out-do each other between these two, lol.)

Asmo as well might complain about having to do something so strenuous, but he has the strength and agility to get through it easily. Will definitely want to clean off right away cause of the muddy water and everything being covered in sand and dirt, but he'd finish with time spare.

Beel...he might end up breaking one of the obstacles with how immense his strength is. Break the Log Roll in half or maybe rip off the Jump Hang completely by accident, lmao. But he would definitely make amazing time with how fast he could go.

Belphie, he is a bit or miss. If he puts in the work, he definitely can get through all the obstacles no problem. But if he just doesn't want to be bothered, he would let himself fall in the muddy water just to get out of doing anything, lol.

On the second stage, it would probably take out Mammon, Levi, Asmo, and Belphie, if he let's himself get that far. Mammon would get knocked out by the Spider Wall cause he would slip and just go plummeting into the water. That is more than likely where Belphie would fall too, considering how much the walls move and you constantly have to adjust. Levi would probably get taken out by the Ledge Walk, his balance giving out and just falling as well. Asmo would probably be able to get through but get stuck at the Conveyer Belt, and get launched backwards into the water. (Mind you this is them not using their demon forms, for it to actually be a legitimate run, lol.)

Now the third stage, this might take out Satan. The Body Prop is where you need to balance yourself between two platforms, hands and feet flat and slide yourself along. Satan would probably lose his grip and finally fall at this point. Also sadly, Lucifer might lose it here too. The Cliffhanger is where you use your bare fingertips to cling to the smallest ledge and move yourself along it, before having a large gap you need to practically leap to get. Lucifer would have his pride knocked out of him by missing the ledge and falling into the water. Forgive me Avatar of Pride but even you make mistakes.

If anyone can make it to the fourth and final stage, it's Beel. He has immense strength even without putting too much output with it. He would be able to climb the rope so fast and hit that buzzer with no problem. His brothers would more than likely be proud but also super jealous of him, lol.

Ahahaha sorry for this random ramble, I just wanted to get it out of my head and it sounded fun to write about. ^^ Hopefully anyone else that knows about Ninja Warrior enjoys this as well!

#obey me #shall we date obey me #lucifer #mammon #leviathan #satan #asmodeus #beelzebub #belphegor #headcanons #ninja warrior!#this is pretty much a crack piece but i couldnt get it out of my head lolol

The old playground // late night gang #4

i watched a show w/ a great sibling dynamic and so i stole the mannerisms for this fic

The old playground was one of the most sacred places that the kids had access to.

It didn't look like much, especially when looked at from back when you could see the silhouette of the mansion in front of it.

But to the kids, it was a place for story telling, playing, and making up a life for themselves in the world of pretend.

In between games of Queen in the Castle(their version of House), Villains and Vigilantes(their version of cops&robbers), and just racing through the obstacles as if they were on American Ninja Warrior(because some things need to be normal), they would just hang out at the clubhouse.

The clubhouse was at the very top of the playground. It looked over the obstacles, the small play houses at the bottom, the sandbox, the swings, slides, and monkey bars.

The clubhouse was the most ideal place to bring friends....if they could handle the height of it that is.

Ada and JJ would sneak up here during middle school and discuss their future together. Ada was afraid of the height of the clubhouse until she was 14, but even then she asked William to join them, just in case. She knew he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.

Eliza and Jason would climb to the top, and go further. They've been told countless times to not get on the roof of the clubhouse because it's so high up and slanted. If they were to fall, they would definitely be goners. Oliver also didn't like that they were so far away and alone...but that was mostly just him.

The other kids did whatever it is they did in the clubhouse. Eliza only knew about Ada because her dear sister cannot keep a secret. She's also a terrible liar despite having taken acting classes since she was 4.

The playground was the for the littles, one day they would get the clubhouse, but right now the playground was theirs, small houses on the ground included.

The older kids still sneak up to the clubhouse during big family events. It's hard to get a minute of privacy on the ground during crisis events, so they retreat to the clubhouse.

Sometimes it's as a big group, other times it's just a few people, and then there was Eliza.

She didn't come up here much anymore. She didn't come home often either, but she definitely didn't come up here.

She doesn't like the memories attached to it. Laughing, smiling, planning the future. Good memories, but after losing the company, you start to relate those memories with sadness.

She didn't want the clubhouse to be ruined for her. But she couldn't help it.

Now, it was just a place for her to escape. No one would look for her here. She could be alone in her thoughts and no one would know where she was.

Or so she thought.

As she sat on the roof of the clubhouse, looking at how the lights from the mansion brighten up the entire backyard, she pulled a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from her pocket. She took out one cigarette and placed the pack on one of the ridges in the roof. The lighter was placed right next to it when she was done with it.

The noise of the mansion was muffled from up here. This was one thing Eliza liked most. She liked barely being able to make out the shadows of people inside. She liked the quiet noise. She liked that the mansion lit up the playground but not the clubhouse.

Her phone lit up on the ridge next to the box and the lighter, catching her attention. She looked over at it, sticking the lit cigarette in her mouth so she could pick it up and read what the notification was.

It was just a grocery list from Quinn. Her dad must be serving food. Quinn can never come over for dinner without wanting to buy a new kitchen, pans and food included. She's the daughter that can cook that Oliver Queen never got....

Well, Miriam can cook. She likes to bake more. But she does know how to cook.

She sighed, putting her phone down and taking the cigarette out of her mouth. A puff of smoke following a few seconds later.

And then there was a noise. A different one. One that sounded like she wasn't alone anymore.

She quickly blew out air towards the smoke, trying to get it to fade away quicker. The last thing she needed was a lecture right now.

Just before she could crush the cigarette against the roof of the clubhouse, there was a shadow above her.

She was afraid to turn to see who it was, so she froze in place. The shadow, hesitated, but sat down next to her on the roof.

A hand came into view for her, and she slowly handed the cigarette over as she turned to see who she was sitting with.

By the time she had turned, the cigarette was already in TJ's mouth.

"What are you-"

"You shouldn't smoke." He interrupted, laying back on the roof, holding himself up with his forearms, cigarette still in mouth.

"How did you find me?" She asked, looking back at him.

He shrugged. "Oliver told me where you were."

"How did he know where I was?"

Thomas looked at Eliza, then back at the silhouette of the mansion. "You think your mom hasn't put cameras everywhere around this place?"

She groaned, laying back with Thomas on the roof. "Of course."

He looked over at her, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and handing it back to her. "What are you doing up here?"

She shrugged, putting the cigarette in her mouth.

"I know your mom's name is Smoak, but you really shouldn't."

She glared at him.

"Don't give me that look, I'm already damaged. I'm allowed."

She sighed, taking the cigarette out again.

"You talk a lot." He joked, sitting up to look back at her.

"You never shut up, do you?" She finally said, cigarette going back in her mouth.

Thomas stopped it before it could, putting it in his own mouth. "I've been here for months, we've hardly said two words to each other."

"Okay, what do you want to know?" She sat up. "I'm the oldest full blooded Smoak Queen, or I was. Family disappointment but they don't know it. I've brought home more guys than I can count but I've only ever had 3 boyfriends-"

"Alright, you don't just turn out like this. What's your story?"

"I'm sure you already heard it." She shook her head. "My family loves spilling secrets."

"I want to hear it from you." Thomas took the cigarette and handed it back to Eliza.

She hesitated, but took it back. "My boyfriend died." She spit it out, knowing that if she hesitated her words, she would never get anymore.

"And now you're a family disappointment?"

"It's a long story."

"So? Tell me. I have time."

His voice sounded sincere. He wasn't forcing her into talking, he wasn't judging her after finding her on a roof of a kid's playhouse with a cigarette, maybe she could tell him some of the story.

So she did.

She told him about how Jason was her first boyfriend. She told him that her dad hated that Jason was her first boyfriend.

She told him how they used to run away up here, talking about actually running away. Eliza always wanted out, even before he died.

She was there when he died. It was her fault. She told him to skip the vigilante business. She wanted to walk the city and she wanted to do it with him.

She left Star City not long after that. She wanted to get away. Now was the perfect time.

She didn't go through a grieving process. She had a day. She gave herself a day. After that, she forced herself to move on. She numbed her feelings however she could.

Drinks, drugs, parties, strange people.

Ada, Liv, and Quinn were the only ones who really know what was going on, well them and their boyfriends.

They thought she needed help, she did, but they didn't want to stage an intervention without giving her a chance to settle down.

After a year or so, they set her up with this annoying, hyperactive, time traveling idiot.

And she calmed down.

He didn't save her. He had his own issues to worry about. But he kept her busy. He kept her away from the parties because they'd go to get food instead. Without the parties, there were no longer strange people or drugs.

For awhile, during withdrawals, he sat by her side and told everyone who asked that she was just sick. It was the flu. She'd be fine. And she was.

They got over the drinking thing together.

And despite all of that....she hasn't brought him to the clubhouse.

It was a safe place. It was where you bring people you care about. And she didn't want to jinx anything.

Eliza went silent, clearly now thinking about everything she had said. Reliving it in her head.

Thomas took the silence as an opportunity to speak.

"My mom died after my sister was born."

She looked over at him, she felt her mouth open, wanting to ask about the sister part of the sentence. Something in her told her that she probably wouldn’t have to ask.

"It was just the three of us then. My dad never remarried. He worked a lot so I took care of Clara." He continued. "I'd have done anything for her." He looked out at the Queen mansion.

"She looked like Miriam."

Eliza felt a deeper sadness than she had felt before. She lost Jason. She couldn't ever imagine losing her sisters. She loved them more than anything in the world.

Thomas reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. He flipped it open and pulled out a small picture, handing it to Eliza.

Despite the darkness, Eliza could see the resemblance between Clara and Miriam.

"That's the boat that she's on." He spoke again, this time his voice sounded more wounded.

"The boat?"

"I saw her get on....I never saw her get off."

Thomas had a history that was a lot like her dad's. Except, he got on a boat with his girlfriend, sister, and dad.

"TJ, I...” Eliza started, but she didn’t really know what she could say. “Why are you telling me this?”

“We’re not that different.” He told her, she raised an eyebrow at him.

“I would give anything to have her back...but...” Thomas looked over at Eliza. “If I hadn’t left, if I gave up on everything and everyone else when I lost Clara, or when I lost Jade, I wouldn’t be here.”

“I still don’t understand.”

“I lost my sister...There’s nothing I can do about that. I can’t go back and save her.” He looked at the mansion, then at Eliza again. “But I can be here with you. I can help Miriam prepare a bribe lunch. I can help Owen bring his equipment from the basement to the garage.”

“Thomas-”

“I lost my sister.” He repeated. “But I gained so much more by accepting it and moving on.”

They both sat there in silence for a moment. Thomas placed his hand on Eliza’s shoulder.

“Everyone does things at their own pace....but when you’re ready...” He looked back at the mansion. “There’s this annoying, time traveling, idiot waiting for you on the porch.” He gave her a small smile before standing up and jumping from the roof of the clubhouse to the actual flooring of it, and then proceeding to climb down the play set.

Eliza watched as he dropped to the ground and walked back to the porch of the mansion. She quickly picked up her phone and sent him a text.

If you see him, tell him I’m at the clubhouse.

She saw Thomas pause before reaching the porch, something lighting up in his hand, then going dark again as he waved to someone she couldn’t see.

Her phone buzzed a few seconds later.

Ronnie:

why the hell are you on a roof?

She smiled, sending back a shrugging emoji before putting her phone down again.

Maybe it was time to move on.

Shinobis of Ninjago

Pilot 1: Way of the Ninja

Prologue (Pilot 1, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), Pilot 2, Episode 1

They spent the night at the weapons-smith shop, getting many visitors asking if the siblings were okay, scared that the skeletons harmed them. When they asked about Jay, Skylor lied, saying he was upstairs sick.

Skylor told their neighbours that she would be leaving for a while, though she wasn't sure how long. The farmers said they would look after the shop and collect the money from the orders that had to be picked up and give it back to them when they returned. They also said they would keep an eye out for new shipments of metal and jewels. Nightfall soon came, visitors leaving and Skylor set up the orders that would be picked up when she was gone and closed down the shop.

Once morning came, they set off. Mystake said it would be a five day journey on foot, travelling through forests and mountains. They would stop in towns for meals, but be walking the rest of the day. On the evening of the fifth day they reached the base of a mountain, one of the tallest in the southern region of Ninjago.

Skylor looked at Mystake as if she had grown a second head. Mystake simply smiled and started walking around the base of the mountain until she came upon an old willow tree. She pushed aside the branches, revealing a stone staircase carved into the side of the mountain. Skylor sighed, hoisting up the pack on her shoulders.

An hour later, they reached the summit. White stone walls circled around the top, bright red circular doors engraved with a golden dragon marking the entrance. Skylor notched a wooden contraption off the end of a platform. Upon the end of inspection she concluded that it was a handmade elevator.

"¿¡De Verdad!? Are you kidding me? I climbed this mountain for nothing!" Mystake simply shrugged like she had no idea what Skylor was talking about. "How long is this training supposed to be?" Skylor asked. "I'm in a rush. Trying to save my brother, y'know. Oh wait, you do know. Because you were the one who let him get taken."

Mystake opened the large double doors, used to the blame of Jay's capture being thrown her way as it had been the topic of discussion for the past two days. "You will be ready when you are ready. Not a minute sooner." She walked down the few steps into a large open courtyard, a simple golden dragon statue in the middle.

Skylor followed, dropping her pack at the base of stairs and looking around. "A monastery? You expect me to learn how to fight in a place of peace?"

"Not fight, train." Mystake corrected. "To become a true ninja, to carry the honourable name of the Garmadon Clan on your back, you must first be able to see what others do not."

"But there's nothing here!" Skylor yelled, clearly distraught.

Mystake gestured to the small golden dragon statue beside her. There was another in the same spot on the opposite side of the stairs. She gave the post a little tap with her staff, and the statue fell back, revealing a tiny button. Skylor stared at it curiously as Mystake pressed it.

There was a faint sound of whirring before the dragon in the centre slowly raised out of the ground, four pillars in the corners following it soon after. Wooden planks and beams came next, filling up the space between each pillar, forming some sort of obstacle course.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Skylor asked, hand on her hip as she gazed around. "I thought you were going to teach me to fight–sorry, train me–so I could rescue my brother. Not do some stupid elementary school exercise."

"My, my, what a way with words you have. If you want to save your brother, complete the course before I finish my tea." Mystake walked over to the porch that lined the building on the opposite side of the courtyard. A teapot, along with a tray had been set up. Mystake sat down, crossed her legs and placed a cloth in her lap. She poured her tea and popped in two sugar cubes. After downing the cup in a few seconds, she looked to when Skylor was standing, unmoving from where she was thirty seconds ago.

"Today you fail. Come now, we must take care of that concussion of yours. Until you recover, you will rest and learn the way of the ninja."

"No way. I'm getting through this course today and saving my brother." Skylor said, planting her feet in the ground.

"We will see when you cannot even make it down the mountain. Come now, I have dinner waiting."

--------------------------------

It took a few more days for Skylor to recover from her concussion. It had been a very small one and Mystake mentioned something about Elemental Masters healing at over twice the rate of regular humans, and her helmet had protected her from any further head injuries. For the next week, she spent the mornings studying with Mystake and training in hand-to-hand combat. The afternoons she spent trying to get through the obstacle course. So far, everyday, she had failed, her anger and frustration growing.

After over two weeks of staying at the monastery, Skylor walked out into the courtyard with a new mindset. If she could get through the course, she could not only save Jay, she could prove Mystake wrong. And that was enough motivation for her.

The course at first glance seemed simple, but in reality, it was quite hard. As soon as Mystake made a motion to grab her napkin, Skylor took off, army-crawling under swinging planks. She continued to race through the course. When she was about a third of the way through the course, she threw the wooden sword he had been armed with at Mystake, knocking the cup out of her hands.

Mystake looked down at the soiled napkin in her lap, reaching for another. When she was done making her second cup of tea, she looked up at the course, only to find Skylor missing.

"Was that one sugar, or two?"

Mystake looked to her right and saw Skylor leaning against the porch holding out the bowl of sugar cubes, smirking smugly up at the woman. Mystake scoffed and stood up, taking the bowl from Skylor and placing on the tray along with the rest of her tea set.

"So, am I going to learn this spinjitzu I've been hearing so much about?" Skylor asked, getting to her feet and dusting herself off.

"You already have." Mystake replied. "Your final test comes tomorrow. My advice is to get some sleep, you might need it."

--------------------------------

That night, Skylor was uneasy. She laid in bed, unable to fall asleep. She tried reading, training, chamomile tea, but nothing was working. Maybe it was nerves about her final test, or perhaps she was anxious about rescuing her brother after two weeks. Who knew what he had been through.

She rolled over in bed, staring at the wall when she heard a faint thud above her head. Turning on the lantern next to her bed, she gazed upwards. Not seeing anything, she crawled back under the covers, keeping the light on. A few minutes later, another thud, this time coming from the other side of her room. Tossing the covers to the foot of her bed, Skylor got to her feet.

Cautiously creeping to the other side of the room, lantern in hand, Skylor shone the light on the corners. She froze when the light caught something. It was brief, but the glimpse of metal was all she needed.

"I know you're there, come out."

Three figures stepped out of the shadows. All were clad in black and had a weapon in their hands: a bo-staff, a trident, and a whip.

Slowly walked backwards as the three advanced and made a dash for her dresser. She hopped on top and pulled herself up into the rafters of the monastery. The three followed her through the roof until Skylor jumped down over the main foyer. She ran through the doors into the courtyard, looking around for anything that might prove useful.

Spotting the small dragon statues by the staircase, Skylor darted across the courtyard. Flipping back the dragon, she pressed the button, watching her three attackers fail to overcome their surprise and receive a few bruises from the obstacle course.

After the shock of the course springing up, the three warriors were filled with a new emotion for the red-haired girl. Abandoning their weapons on the ground, they charged towards Skylor. Soon, Skylor found herself on top of one of the warriors, but flattened under the other two. Skylor raised her fist in the air, only to have it grabbed by the two on top of her. Before it could escalate further, a cry rang out through the courtyard.

"Stop!"

The four stopped, looking up at Mystake who was standing in the doorway. They slowly got off each other, heads hanging as they moved into a line. "Hai, Sensei," The four said in unison, bowing.

"Wait, wait, wait. I thought I was your only student. You have more?" Skylor asked. Mystake nodded and Skylor placed a hand on her hip, looking to each person. "No impresionada." ('Not impressed.')

"Hey!" One cried. "You couldn' take us down, remember tha'. You needed the obstacle course to save ya butt." They had a bit of a drawl to their voice.

"With all due respect, Sensei Mystake, you never said anything about a fourth. I thought we were to retrieve the weapons, the three of us." Another said, they spoke with a bit of an accent, hinting that Ninjanese wasn't their first language. Mystake tilted her head curiously, so they continued, wringing their hands nervously. "What I mean is, us three have trained together. We are solid."

"No me pareció tan sólido," ('Didn't look so solid to me,') Skylor muttered under her breath, crossing her arms.

Two of them shot her deadly glares as the third spoke to Mystake. "Master Mystake, I am afraid I do not understand. What is the meaning of this?"

"Each of you have received a gift passed down through generations of your families. An ability in tune with elemental properties. But first, change into these." Mystake went inside for a few seconds before emerging with four neatly folded ninja-yorois.

Minutes later, the four emerged out of the monastery, gathering in the courtyard. Orange, maroon, navy blue, and purple. The yorois were soft and loose, though Skylor wasn't sure what the scabbards attached to her belt were for.

"Not bad." Skylor complimented. "But why the colour coding? Can't tell us apart, old woman?"

"There are reasons behind my methods. Remember that." Mystake snapped. She turned to the rest of her students. "You four have been gifted with special elemental properties. Skylor, Master of Absorption, the ability to absorb another's power for a limited time through skin contact." She said, placing her staff on on Skylor's shoulder. "You shall be the team's konran, the agitator. I think it fits you well."

Mystake moved her staff to the girl beside Skylor who was wearing a maroon gi. She had short raven hair and grey eyes that shone as Mystake directed her attention to her. "Nya, Master of Water. Ability to control and manipulate water. Also referred to as hydrokinesis. You will make a wonderful teiastsu."

Mystake moved her staff to her next student, a dark skinned girl with bright pink hair that had a blue streak running through it. "Seleil, Master of Phantom. Stealthy like shadows. Your special skill set will serve you well as a kishu." Seliel bowed respectively as Mystake moved on to the last girl. "Pixal, Master of Technology. Like her name, she is ahead of her time and seer with sixth sense. An excellent Kanchō.

"You four are the chosen ones who will protect the four Weapons of Spinjitzu from Lady Misako."

"Hold on, you said we were saving my brother first! What about him, or did you forget, old woman." Skylor sneered.

Nya gasped, missing the point of Skylor's statement. "We're saving a boy? Is he cute?"

"Nya..." Seliel warned, watching as Skylor's eye twitched dangerously.

"I-I just wanna know what we're getting ourselves into. Ya know how hard it is to get a date when ya live on a mountain." She said. She leaned in close to Skylor, whispering, "Does he like maroon?"

"Back. Off. Or so help me, I will steal your kneecaps while you sleep." Skylor threatened.

Seliel nodded approvingly. "Creative insult."

"Oh trust me, chica, I got tons more."

Mystake interrupted before the argument could go any further. "If you want to save your brother, we need the weapons to do so. Come now, we will set off for the first weapon at dawn."

"Whoa, hold on a minute. You said you were going to teach us spinjitzu." Seliel said.

"I already have." Mystake answered. She turned around, heading back inside and leaving the doors open for her students.

Seliel sighed as Nya complained, "ugh, why she always gotta be so cryptic?"

"No clue. All I know is that I was stuck with crap like that for two days with nothing else to do." Skylor huffed. She stretched, starting towards the door. "Since you interrupted my sleep, I'm going to go get some shut eye. Noche, señoras."

"Yeah, well, ya weren't actually sleeping so we didn't wake ya up! So... ha!" Nya called after her. She sighed, disappointed in how her words came out.

Seliel patted her on the shoulder. "It's okay, Nya, she's not worth it. Come on, let's go get some rest."

Tanner Time

We arrived at Kristi’s Friday afternoon and it had been nearly two years since I’d seen her, Ryan, and Kathy so I was pumped!!! As we pulled up to their cute house my toes were squirming and I was being to sweat with anticipation!!! We were going to finally be at our first officially East Coast stop, be getting out of the car and seeing the Tanners!! We made it!

That night we sat out on the back porch chatting over delicious pizza just catching up. Mike and Kathy came over too which was a real treat! Over quarantine, Kristi and Ryan got a beautiful new gold retriever pup named Charlie and her parents got Charlie’s brother Tucker. Loki was in Heaven with his new friends, running around the backyard sniffing and playing. Meanwhile we played some cards, giggled, ate, drank, and things were so organic! Felt good to be with the Tanners again!

The next morning we slowly got ready for a boat day. Kristi and Ryan went to the store and got a bunch of snacks and lunch while we took Loki for a walk. We nearly died on the walk because apparently Connecticut doesn’t believe in sidewalks and people fly down the small country roads! After our “near death” walk we were ready to hit the water! Kathy, Mike, Kristi, Ryan, Pearce, Me, and 3 big dogs all jumped in the truck and drove 1 minute down the road to the dock where their pontoon boat was docked. We had the BEST time on the water! We went all around Candlewood lake stopping periodically to let the pups swim and eat lunch. After the massive amounts of rain they just had, our blue skied cloudless boat day was much needed for everyone. It was awesome! After the boat we headed home and bbq’d up some yummy dinner and hang until the wee hours.

We had a lazy morning the next day just hanging out chatting. Ryan actually brought us tea and coffee in bed because it was our 1 year anniversary! It was very cute! The weather was overcasty and rainy and our moods were paralleling the weather. We are constantly on the move going from place to place and activity to activity, it was so refreshing to just sit and chill with friends. That quality time is irreplaceable and I’m so glad we got to hang. By lunch time we headed to a local brewery in town to listen to lives tunes and place some cards, a perfect rain day activity! And for dinner we headed over to Kathy and Mike’s for some fabbbbbulous ribs! Ooooweeeeee it was good!

In the morning we woke up and had some coffee while dunking our feet in the hot tub. It was a gorgeous day and we were super sad to leave. We gathered all our gear and repacked the car but not before one last hoorah! We got to go over to the Gymnastic Spectrum. This is the gymnastics gym Kathy began years ago and Kristi put her own spin on with a kids ninja warrior side. Since expanding they have sent kids to countless competitions for both ninja and gymnastics. We got to watch one of Kristi’s first students who came in weak and scrawny compete in the Last Vegas Ninja Warrior competition. Only 5 years at the gym and he transformed into a Ninja champion! And Kathy said her gymnastics team swept every competition they were in this year, I mean holy cow talk about accomplishments! The last time I was in the gym it was just gymnastics so to step in and see the transformation into the huge gym it is today was remarkable. You can see how much effort has gone into the ninja set up. The engineering creativity and courses are truly incredible. It’s overwhelming when you first walk in because there are so many hanging obstacles but after Kristi and Ryan explained things it all made sense. Everything had a purpose! We even got to try out some of the obstacles and it was not easy! Pearce and I raced on a few obstacles and he clearly Beat me but it was legit hard. I don’t know how the kids do it!

I wish we could have spent all day there but it was time to head on the road to Kennebunk. We had a few stops to make along the way and new people to see. So we said our sad goodbye’s and parted ways :(

Please Don’t Regret Me - 6. The L in CALM

Words: 3141

No Warnings.

This feels like a filler chapter instead of what I had intended to be the last. So with that being said, there will be one and final chapter of Please Don’t Regret Me and I hope this one doesn’t suck to much. Thanks!

The early morning’s first rays of sunlight eased their way into Nelle’s LA hotel room. The drum and bass heavy beginning notes of The Black Keys’ Dead and Gone startled Nelle out of her sleep.

“Fuck” she groaned as she tried to turn her stiff body towards the nightstand where her phone was continuing to play the alarm. Through her hazy and clearly hungover mind, she wondered why she couldn’t move her lower body. It wasn’t until she looked under the covers through groggy eyes to see an arm was holding her down by her waist. Her amber eyes followed the arm to the rest of the body. Luke was turned to her, blonde curls covering his face, light snores excelling from him. She heaved his arm off of her and made haste with shutting off her alarm. Her head was pounding as she got up from the bed. She held onto the nightstand when her body swayed gently, her balance totally askew. It was almost like a Ninja Warrior obstacle course just to get to the bathroom.

Nelle emerged from the bathroom almost an hour later. A towel wrapped around her head, another around her body, her mind now somewhat clearer than it had been when she first opened her eyes. She tiptoed around as she got dressed, brushed the tangles out her hair, and did concealer around her dark circles. Just as she had started packing up her belongings, Luke began to stir in his sleep. She froze mid action while putting last night’s clothes in her luggage.

She hadn't realized she was holding her breath until he positioned himself into a more comfortable spot.

Suddenly, Luke startled awake. Nelle jumped and squeaked in surprise but he hadn't seemed to see or hear her. Luke rubbed his eyes quickly, then used his hands to pat the comforter around him.

"Nelle?" He uttered in complete sadness and confusion, his head hanging down. Nelle cleared her throat and the blond boy in front of her shot his head up so fast he almost hit it on the headboard. He smiled lazily in her direction as he ran a hand through his curls. "Hey." He said.

Nelle returned the greeting and tried to smile back but she was sure it came out as a grimace. Luke didn't even seem to notice. He was just in awe of the girl who he had spent the night with. Even when she excused herself to gather something from the bathroom, he made sure to keep his eyes on her. It took a few times of Nelle folding clothes and walking around her room for Luke to finally become aware of what was happening.

"W-what are you doing?" He stuttered. She finished folding a white t-shirt that Luke immediately recognized. She put it down gently on top of a small pile of clothes at the edge of the bed.

"My flight is at 12. I'm about to head out. Don't worry though, the room is good until two, but if you need it for longer, just call the front desk. My card is on file; It’ll be fine." She said so nonchalantly that Luke could only gape at her. She gestured to the folded clothes. "Change of clothes." She added. "This was still in my suitcase from the last tour."

Luke scoffed. If Nelle heard it, she pretended not to. "I'm returning your Zeppelin shirt too." Her eyes flickered to the white shirt that was on top of the stack.

When Luke didn't say anything, Nelle took it as her cue to leave. She hated being late, especially to the airport. As she turned to her suitcase, Luke finally spoke.

"So that's it then?" He questioned, in anger. He wished he hadn't slept naked because he felt this was a conversation he needed to be standing for. He didn't know where his clothes were and he didn't want to seem like a klutz getting out of bed so he stayed put.

Nelle halted just a bit away from the bed and faced the singer.

She shrugged her shoulders. "Isn't that all you wanted?" She knew it wasn’t, but she felt that that was all she could give him at the moment. He was a fucking celebrity and with the release of Youngblood, he was more popular than ever.

Nelle immediately regretted her comeback as soon as Luke's blue eyes closed and he turned his head away to compose himself.

"I have to go. I never said I was going to stay." Nelle tried to reason.

Luke eyed her suspiciously though his eyes looked like glassy orbs through the tears he was struggling to hold in. "So you’re not even going to try to make this work?

“I’m not sure what you’re trying to make work, Luke.” she calmly stated but her hand tightened on the handle of her suitcase. Luke shook his head. “If you have something to say… then just say it. I’m not going to try to figure you out or put words in your mouth.”

When Luke didn’t say anything, just stared at Nelle with the coldest blue eyes she’s ever seen, she turned away and left.

-----

**3 months later, New York**

The months had passed slowly and drab. Winter always felt so long, so cold, so depressing… If anyone would have told Nelle that after Christmas, New York went from magical to just another cold day, she would have hopped on the first plane to Australia… but no one had and she had missed her chance to visit her family. This wasn’t her first Christmas that she’d gone without spending it with her family, but all those other times, she’d at least had “the boys.”

She sighed as she waltzed around her kitchen, putting the finishing touches on her and Sasha’s spaghetti dinner. Sasha would come prancing in any minute now from yet another photo shoot. Nelle had kept busy since returning from tour with her online Yale classes, a few small side jobs as a book intern, manager at a coffee cafe, and a PA at several various businesses, but nothing ever stuck. She wasn’t going to lie… she missed the touring. She thought retirement from the music world would be relief. Now all she had was this itch to zoom to and from places, literally schedule everything down to Michael’s next breath, use her customer service voice on asshats who thought they knew better, and best of all, spending every second of her time with four of the noisiest, fartiest, annoyingest boys.

Her thoughts lingered on Luke for a brief moment. She tried not to think too much about him. After leaving him naked in LA, they had shared a few intense, mostly one word, text messages and then zilch. He couldn’t find the words to express his feelings, which confounded Nelle because he was a damn songwriter and had written all these love songs for the band, yet, when it came to expressing how he felt towards her all he had to say was You should have stayed.

She wasn’t necessarily heartbroken, but she ached for him and his hair and his scent and their late night conversations and Brooklyn Nine-Nine marathons and dumb pranks on Calum.

Nelle was plating their food when she heard the lock of her apartment door jiggle and then turn loudly. Sasha dashed in, her heavy winter coat already falling off her body as she went through the door. Sasha slammed the door behind her, dropping her purse, phone, and whatever else onto her coat.

“Hey Hey!” she greeted quickly as she ran towards the bathroom in Nelle’s bedroom. “Sorry! Subway took forever! And you know how I feel about public restrooms!” Nelle heard Sasha call out from the distance. She chuckled as she went over to pick up her friend’s items from the floor.

Plates full of spaghetti and meatballs, glasses of wine, and the next episode of Gossip Girl was ready by the time Sasha emerged from the bedroom. She walked slowly in a daze and plopped down on the sofa next to Nelle. Nelle grabbed the remote from next to her and was about to start the show, when her friend quickly took the remote from Nelle.

“If you want to watch something else, just say so… I thought we were going to start season four today.” Nelle grumbled before slurping a forkful of noodles in her mouth. Sasha didn’t respond, just reached into the hoodie she’d put on in Nelle’s room, and pulled out two boxes.

It took more than a second or two for Nelle to realize what she was looking at.

“I wasn’t snooping, I swear!” Sasha began. “I was just looking for a tampon… and I found these.” Sasha looked down at the boxes of pregnancy tests she was holding. “Is there something you want to tell me?” she asked cautiously, taking a quick glance at Nelle’s stomach and back up to her amber eyes.

The brunette sighed as she placed her plate of food down on the coffee table. She sat up straight afterwards facing Sasha, her best friend and closest confidant…

"I'm sorry." Nelle started, dropping her head. Her waves tumbled forward, covering her embarrassed face. "It was just a scare. I panicked when it was nearly two months since having my period and I might have missed a day or two of my birth control while we were on tour. I bought a ton of tests and took like three of them.

"I got mixed results and I went to the doctor. She confirmed that I wasn't and the positive ones could have been faulty or expired tests. Turns out CVS doesn't always toss their expired pregnancy tests.

"I changed to an IUD though. So that's a plus. No kids for me for another five years… maybe. But I didn't tell you because it was nothing to worry about. And I didn't want to deal with the reactions."

Nelle nervously looked up, peering through her hair to peek at Sasha. Sasha was still as stone, almost like a Greek statue.

"My reactions?" Sasha questioned, her head slightly tilting to the right.

Nelle nodded.

"Yeah… you know… the mixed reactions of disappointment in whether you are or aren't or happy because you are… or aren't. I came out negative and I was happy. I just… I don't know." Nelle hung her head again, defeated. "I just didn’t think it was anything to tell and honestly, I forgot to throw away the extra tests."

Sasha shrugged her shoulders. Nelle could see her friend trying to work her situation in her head and thought that the subject was dropped when Sasha started scarfing down her food and the next episode of Gossip Girl.

It was halfway into the episode that Sasha suddenly paused the show and turned to Nelle, her eyebrows furrowed deeply with concern.

"Okay, I'm fine with your decision to not have told me. I'm sure if you were, it would have been different circumstances blah, blah, blah. I'm curious though. Why would you think you were preggo though? I haven't seen you with anyone in… well… forever. And I know you didn't hook up with that Daniel guy."

Nelle shrugged her shoulders, leaving a confused expression on Sasha’s face. Sasha then looked around the room suddenly, trying to find anything out of place or something that didn’t look like Nelle’s interior style.

“You haven’t had sex in ages… probably since you were in One Direction tabloid news for dating Zayn… Are you seeing someone?! Please don’t tell me it was a roadie guy!”

Nelle laughed, shaking her head at the same time at her friend’s ridiculous accusation.

“No, it was not a roadie… Honestly, I didn’t think anything was going to happen. We’re so restricted about our feelings, but the tension is always there. I thought before I departed the first time, with us rooming together all the time, maybe one of us would finally spill the beans about our feelings, but it never happened. Then Ash had his party and Luke was just there. Maybe it was the drinking or maybe in that moment… or moments, if you know what I mean, I just didn’t care. But we haven’t really spoken since. I kind of did walk out on him. He wanted me to stay, but I didn’t want to. He makes it seems like I owe it to him to stay and follow him around everywhere; could be because I did that for fucking years… but that was my damn job. It wouldn’t fucking hurt him to do the same for me. He’s just as capable of following me across the country as I am for him.”

Nelle gulped in some air, not sure where the sudden rush of words had come from, but Sasha had nothing to say in that moment. All she could do was gape at her. Her mouth wide open, her eyes almost popped out their sockets.

With a hand over her mouth, Sasha mumbled “shit” about five times, then let out a laugh. The girl cackled for a minute, making Nelle scoot away from her awkwardly.

“Fuckin’ hell. Nelle… fucking Luke?!” Sasha began, a short chortle escaped her mouth again. “I knew it. You were acting hella weird on the plane ride back. You totally ignored the group chat when Ash sent that pic of those lacy undies asking Who the hell had sex in my laundry room?!. Any time Cal facetimes and Luke is in the background, you suddenly have something to do in another room. You stare at his texts for waaaaay too long before typing something and then deleting it only to answer back with one or two words. I should have paid more attention. Fuck, dude.”

“It was one night, Sash. It was the best fucking night ever. And I don’t know what to do. I’m acting like he barely exists because he can’t tell how he feels about me. I see it on his face, I see it in some of his actions, but he can’t ever just tell me ‘Nelle, I like you… like I like you, like you!’” Nelle felt a hard lump in her throat and tried to sniffle it away. “I lied to you when I said that he didn’t write any songs on Youngblood about me. Calum confirmed half that shit is about me, written and recorded that very day I quit on them.”

Sasha reached over, taking Nelle’s hands in her’s. She pressed on them gently, rubbing small circles with her thumbs for comfort. Her eyes were sympathetic.

“I’m sorry, kid.” she said softly. “I don’t know how I can make this better.”

----------

**Australia**

It was December and the start of summer. Calum sighed as he adjusted himself on his couch, another episode of some documentary he had on for noise had just begun. He wondered how his girlfriend was faring. He knew New York was cold and he hadn’t understood why she was so insistent on remaining there for the holidays, but he sensed maybe it had to do with not wanting to leave Nelle by herself.

Speaking of Nelle, he had barely talked to her in the weeks since she had left LA after Ashton’s party. She wasn’t cold-shouldering him. He knew there was something keeping her distant, he just couldn’t pinpoint it. He had asked Sasha, but she had no idea herself either.

Calum looked towards the wall that separated his side of the duplex he shared with Nelle. Another sigh escaped his lips before there was a knock on his front door. Calum lazily swung his body off his couch. He adjusted his basketball shorts before opening the door.

Luke, curls a long, yellow mess, dark circles under his eyes, wrinkled clothes, was on the other side of the door. Calum didn’t say anything, just stepped aside to let the taller fellow in. Calum, like every other day that Luke came over in this state, went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water while the blond made himself comfortable on Calum’s couch.

When Calum returned to the living room, Luke had taken over the couch he had been on, switching the channels on the television. He set the glass on the coffee table in the middle of the room. Luke eyed it, but made no attempt to take a drink.

This was becoming a new norm for them since they returned to Australia. Ashton still remained in LA and Michael was doing some traveling for another week, not sure where his next stop was going to be.

“How was therapy?” Calum asked, starting small talk, as he took the couch adjacent to the one Luke was laying on. Luke shrugged his shoulders. “Did you even go?” he asked, concerned.

“Yeah.” Luke answered softly, not letting his eyes flicker off the TV. “Same as last week. Doc says I’m in a void since we’re not touring. I don’t know how to keep myself busy.”

Calum raised an eyebrow, letting his eyes roam his friend’s attire. Luke was wearing a t-shirt that he recognized from Nelle’s wardrobe, shorts that were extremely wrinkled, and a pair of converse with unmatched socks.

“Did she also comment on how you haven’t changed out that outfit for two weeks?”

Luke scoffed. “I washed it, asshole.”

Calum snickered with a shake of his head.

The two didn’t say much afterwards; they watched whatever sitcom Luke had put on. Luke was drifting into a nap, when Calum’s phone vibrated on the coffee table, startling him. Calum chuckled at him before grabbing his phone to see who was contacting him.

Sasha’s name followed by a pink heart emoji appeared on his screen. He was concerned and confused. Because of the ten hour time difference, it had been a bit hard to communicate between the couple. Sometimes Sasha was barely waking up and Calum was going to sleep or vice versa. It had been difficult to find a time that suited them both. He swiped his phone screen to open the message.

Cal… I figured out the problem.

Nelle and Luke slept together. Ash’s party.

Calum gulped, a rush of fury came and went so fast followed by surprise, annoyance, and finally calm. No wonder Luke has been acting so weird and always looked at Nelle’s side of the duplex with such damn longing.

He peered up at Luke from over his phone as he sent a quick text back.

he’s here now. wat do i say?

Sasha’s reply came faster than Calum had anticipated.

You better get him here now with a bouquet of roses and fucking love letter the length of the equator and he better BEG on his hands and knees for the requited love of Eleanor Padilla.
