Stand Needed
Snatcher and Moonjumper contract a nasty undead illness. Luckily, Hat Kid knows someone who could help in exchange for a price. Too bad it's another weirdo on a whole other level.
Every creature can get sick. Dogs can contract illnesses, cats can get sick, rats can carry sickness and humans get sick from small colds or deadly diseases. Though no one ever thought the undead could contract an illness but it is possible especially for soul-devouring species.
There is an illness that can disturb the magic energy of powerful spirits, particularly those whose power grew greatly by consuming the life force of innocence more than the damned or vice versa. This causes their magic to malfunction, spells to fail or backfire, and if not treated in time that spirit in question will become stone.
The Subcon Forest, a dark and mysterious biological creature born from the ghostly energy that soaks deep in the soil. A fallen kingdom that's entire population was devastated in a single day by deadly frost and then revitalized into this maze of trees by powerful ghostly fire. Magic flows throughout the forest, haunted noose that come alive to snatch their victims, cherries that became crystalized then exploded when introduced to ghostly energies, swamps that drag treaders into the deep abyss and even bells that affect the spiritual plane.
Two types of inhabitants make this dead land their home under the laws of their ruler. Dwellers, spirits that are tied to the world by the masks they wear and capable of revealing the spiritual plane to others. And then there are the Subconites, dwellers whose spirits are given physical form through puppet bodies so they can interact with the world.
Both under the rule of the Snatcher, a powerful ghost that haunted the land. Trespassers he caught are forced to sign magical contracts with their souls as the price. All but one had made it out with their soul not getting devoured and bodies dumped like garbage. Another spirit did dwell within this ghostly forest and commanded the Dwellers that didn't want to be involved with the ghostly ruler.
This spirit known as Moonjumper also was a soul stealing entity that was at odds with the Snatcher. Clashes between both spirits were given and often depleted their magic to the point souls were required to replenish them. Snatcher fed on ones that belonged mostly to the innocent since they trespassed on his land more often and Moonjumper took those who were destined for hell as they fled to his part of the forest after performing dastardly deeds.
And this is where their problem all started. In a large tree lined with giant mushrooms and carved into with a jack o lantern was the dwelling for a particular specter. The Snatcher, a ghost around 20 ft long in size with a body similar to a serpent but covered completely in a mane of dark purple fur, a thick curly tip mane followed by glowing yellow eyes and mouth often found on a child's jack o' lantern with two fangs and spindly arms with two clawed fingers.
The spirit had a book in hand that's cover read 'Ghostly Magic and Illnesses' with eyes narrowed in annoyance and frowning in distaste. His powers had been acting finicky as late as last night. His warping magic left him in the wrong location than what he wanted, hands burst into flame without reason but the biggest sign was one of his contracts. The paper looked dead than it's pristine yellow cut.
Thus he delayed any new contracts and halted his duties to immediately find what was going on with his powers. A magical sickness wasn't what he expected. Especially as one as deadly to him like this. The Chaos Petrification, a sickness that manifests in soul eating entity's who had too much of innocent or damned energy in their appetite.
"...The only cure is the energy from a being with an immense fighting spirit. A soul whose willpower is so powerful that they can bring their inner being to life. By consuming some of this energy, the sick spirit's powers will return to proper balance. These souls are very rare and the illness will take four days to permanently petrify the spirit. What the peck?!" He shut the book with a huff.
"How the peck am I supposed to find a soul with an immense fighting spirit? What does that even mean by willpower that can come to life?!" He exclaimed with his animalistic rough growl mixed alongside the mischievous jovial balanced tone of his voice echoing through the forest. This wasn't something that needed to happen. You can't rule over a forest if you are a stone statue.
"Guess I'm not the only in this same predicament." A much softer male voice with an echo made the Snatcher's frown turn into an annoyed snarl. Turning around to bore holes into the head of the corpse possessing spirit at his home's doorway. The spirit was much smaller than him, around the size of a human man if he was missing his legs.
Their head was a pale blue moon shaped mask flipped on its back, red stripes going down the bottom side of the mouth, two eyes of slightly different sizes with red stripes or star spots in them, the fangs making the mask bear an aura of madness, his spindly body covered in torn remains of a prince attire consisting of a white ascot and red coat but manacles with broken chains around his wrists.
"Moonjumper, how did you get here? Have you forgotten you are banned from this part of my forest?" Snatcher growled whilst looking at this intruder with aggravation. "Trust me, I wouldn't have impeded on your land if it wasn't for good reason. I believe Chaos Petrification being both our problems." Those words were enough for the violet ghost to drop the book an instant.
"You have it too? This is really bad. Magic is the only thing keeping that witch's frost from eating the whole forest. And I really don't want her anywhere near that pecking border." The spirit shivered upon the thought of the ice witch that dwelled in a small section of the forest. All three of them were at odds but neither of the two males hated the other more than the female demon by their borders.
"As much as you hate me, neither of us wants our land to become frozen over with ghostly ice. We need each other to keep her at bay. From what I overheard is that the cure is the energy of a soul with a powerful inner will?" Moonjumper said, picking up the dropped book and opened it back to the page the other specter had it on.
The page in question held a person shaped hieroglyph and multiple wisps around them with a giant wisp at the center. Underneath the image was a scrap of text that seemed unreadable. With a flick of his fingers, red string manifested on that tiny part of the page. It covered the area before they vanished upon burrowing into the pages as restored text that read 'Stand User' in its place.
"Stand User? A bizarre name but much better than nothing. Though it's the first I heard of it." Moonjumper hummed looking at those two words that were the key to their salvation. "Maybe the kid might know. She may be a weirdo but she's a weirdo from space so the Hat Brat might have a clue." As if on signal by the violet ghost, a soft thump was heard by his tree alongside a childish girl saying Tada.
Then walked in a little girl who seemed to be around 8 years old in age, hair a chocolate brown ponytail and bright blue eyes wearing a purple top hat with a gold ribbon, a purple Victorian looking shirt, white pants, black shoes and a violet umbrella decorated in stickers. "Hey Snatcher! And Moonjumper you here too?! Bowie was wondering where you were!" The child who was known as Hat Kid said with honest surprise.
Both ghosts decided to inform the young child about their current predicament. The girl may be young but her actions in the past showed she was a force to be reckoned and a good source of help. After all, no one had ever bested Snatcher in a fight or escaped the manor of the Subcon's Ice Queen alive.
"A Stand User? Don't know what that is but I think my new friend might know!" That caught the attention of the two specters. Hat Kid has a habit of making friends with very interesting individuals. These very people were often useful to Snatcher in particular considering his special contacts known as Death Wishes.
"Really? Who's this new friend of yours and where are they now?" Snatcher questioned nearly getting into the kid's face. "Her name is Jodie Joestar and I met her in Mafia Town! She looked extremely lost and said something about a Stand thingy that took her from her friends! In fact she's waiting on my ship right now since I said you guys might know a way for her to get back!" Hat Kid exclaimed, both ghosts were quite pleased to hear this.
It shouldn't be so hard to ask the woman about it. Though even if the Snatcher wouldn't think or much less admit it, Moonjumper was quite curious on what kind of person was this Jodie Joestar. A question he was glad to ask Hat Kid about on their way to her ship.
"What kind of person Jodie is like? She's quite cool and very nice! Her hair is blue and the surprising thing is that it's completely natural! Jodie also knows some cool tricks I could do with my hat and apparently loves to sing. I plan on asking her if she wants to hang out later and show me these special comics she has called Manga! Oh and she has a lot of siblings, like 7 brothers and one sister! One of her brothers is her twin too!"
Snatcher could only do a small dry cackle in his head. This Jodie sounded like another weirdo. They had to be crazy to stand the little purple hat wearing alien girl known as Hat Kid. Plus having 8 siblings was guaranteed to drive someone up the wall with madness. Then again, might be another soul that could be a new contractor. His forest did need some maintenance that didn't involve the kid.
Hat Kid's spaceship could be described as very colorful and imaginative to anyone who goes inside. Various rooms with bright color carpets, different setups being connected by various sized tunnels which most were crawlspaces to any adult guests, displays with the subjects of each one floating in midair or the massive pile of pillows that could be found in the bedroom.
Each room contains a telescope, a type of transporter that took others to certain parts of the planet that it was locked on to. Funnily, the telescope in her room leads straight to Subcon Forest which was also the same place the trio arrived in. Though they weren't exactly counting on the sound of music above them.
This music sounded very strange. It was like a flute with a higher pitch mixed with the tone of a harmonica and light notes found in an ocarina. The song itself was very soothing despite it's somber tune and all three of them had different thoughts upon it. To Hat Kid, it sounded like something that could be heard from a fairytale. There was this sort of magic to it that you would only find from unexplained wonders.
For Moonjumper, it was very calming to him. It reminded him of whenever he was stargazing, his inner turmoils were quelled and he could feel himself at peace despite his cursed afterlife. And for Snatcher, the tune reminded him of home. Before Subcon had become the haunted forest it was now. Where children were playing, the sun was shining and everything was filled with peaceful life. The time he was truly happy and had a better honest outlook of the world.
They all looked to see the source of that melody on top of the pillow mountain. It was a young woman with slightly long curly blue hair and the music was coming from a leaf she had pressed to her mouth. She appeared to be around 5'10 in height with light peach skin and her body completely covered in a peculiar style of clothing.
It consisted of a black long sleeve kimono to the point that it completely swallowed her arms and legs, a torn sleeveless white long coat with seagreen bottom starting from halfway, a long blue sash like harness around her waist and brown hiking boots. This had to be the girl that Hat Kid was talking about, Jodie Joestar.
From her closed eyes and no reaction to their arrival, it was clear she didn't notice them yet. 'She's quite talented if she can create such music with a simple leaf. And cute…' Moonjumper immediately shoved that last thought in the back of his mind. No ogling a human girl especially one you don't know nothing about.
Jodie opened her eyes and immediately spotted the little girl alongside the two ghostly guests. She then placed the small plant piece in her pocket before sliding down the pillow mountain. "Welcome back Hattie-san! I see you brought guests too! Konnichiwa!" Her voice was light, peppy and had a soft energy to it as she bowed to the two ghosts much to their surprise.
"Konnichi-what? Sorry girlie but I don't speak alien or bow to random strangers." Snatcher snarked but the young woman didn't let it bother her much. "Sorry about that. Konnichiwa means Hello in Japanese and bowing to someone you first meet is a sign of respect from Japan as well." Jodie explained, her voice riddled with modest honesty.
"Quite an interesting custom. Sorry for not introducing ourselves. I am Moonjumper and the large fellow beside me is Snatcher. You must be Jodie Joestar?" The chained ghost's question was met with a small nod. "Correct. Hattie-san said you could be of assistance with my particular situation." That's right, Hat Kid did say she was stranded but how bad could it be?
"It depends on how bad it is and what you can give in return, kiddo. Nothing in this world is free." Snatcher had slithered around her side before his face got up close and personal to the woman with a finger to her face. She merely moved his finger aside much to the specter's surprise. "It's rude to put your fingers in someone's face Snatcher. You wouldn't want someone to do the same to you." And then she booped him on the area where his nose would be if the ghost had one.
Hat Kid giggled and Moonjumper had put his own down seeing the flustered face of Snatcher as Jodie walked over to Hat's bed and sat at the end. He clearly was having trouble processing the fact that some random stranger booped him, Snatcher the Ruler of Subcon, on his face in pure nonchalance. The sound of the kid's laughter and Moonjumper's amused look had him push it to the side as he glared at the two then Jodie.
The bluenette wasn't even a bit fazed as she spoke once more. "To put it simply, this isn't my world. I was sent here by the power of an enemy Stand, I believe he called it 'When They Come For Me'. Stands are the manifestation of a person's fighting spirit and each one is different from the other. They come in many shapes, types and forms. Some are named after the tarot deck and lately music or songs."
It had to be another world. He had to jinx himself. Moonjumper had to resist facepalming for that one. "Stand Users have a habit of attracting other Stand Users and some aren't really nice learning that." The violet ghost decided to butt in. "I guess that means you're a Stand User too since 'Stand Users have a habit of attracting other Stand Users.'" Jodie ignored his snarky interruption with a placid face.
Snatcher really was trying to aggravate her but he wasn't going to be easily satisfied. "Very astute. I am a Stand User but lucky for you is that I'm one of the friendlier and more rational ones. If you would've asked someone else that then they would attack or in a worse case scenario kill you in very gruesome ways. Trust me when I say you don't want to make an enemy of someone who could erase you from existence or turn you into a living bomb with a single touch."
And the peaceful ambient mood immediately shriveled up and died from Jodie's words. 'Erase someone from existence? That peck neck kid could've got us destroyed in an instant if she brought some fool capable of that on board! I may be powerful but I'm not stupid. Though I had to applaud her for killing the mood so quickly.' Snatcher had to reluctantly admit that last bit in his head.
Jodie then continued. "Don't worry though if there are any other nasty Stand Users then I can easily handle them. It's sort of my job to keep the bad nuts under control with my Stand: What's Up Danger!" Almost on cue something large and white had appeared in front of the bluenette causing the two ghosts and child to jump back in surprise.
Standing proudly before then was a white lion/dog hybrid beast with a ragged green and red bowtie on their chest around a good 12 ft in size, a seagreen underbelly alongside horn like ears and sharp bladed claws of that same color, a mouth of oversized monstrous fangs and tusks that looked like something from a horror movie, two eye sockets filled with various colored eyes than just one, dark blue bladed spikes on each side of the back, and a blue tail ending with a plush viper head that had blue bunny ears alongside a stitched mouth.
"That is a big freakish cat. And seriously 'What's Up Danger?' At least some fool knows what they're getting into once that comes out." The beast or What's Up Danger rolled their eyes at the violet specter's snark. "Kitty!" Then Hat Kid just pounced on the large feline with a big hug much to everyone's surprise. Jodie immediately became as flustered as her Stand who clearly was not used to random hugs.
"Hattie-san, you are one of a kind because no one has ever called Danger a kitty and hugged her." The woman couldn't help but chuckle as the feline plucked the child off her leg and settled the little girl on her back with her tail. Moonjumper merely looked at the peculiar creature with a curious gaze. It's not everyday a ghostly demonic feline jumps out of someone.
He then noticed Jodie giving the two ghosts a look that clearly read: 'You can get closer if you want.' Moonjumper came closer with no issue while Snatcher held back a groan and settled with a skeptical look before begrudgingly coming over. Danger merely sat down and watched them making it clear she had no problem with what they did. Especially since Hat Kid was petting her much to the feline's pleasure.
"So you said you were looking for my assistance but for what?" Filling her in on the situation was apparently easier than they expected. "Turning to stone sounds really awful. If you need some of my Stand Energy then take what you need. Danger and I have no problem with it. Right, girl?" A soft mew confirmed the feline's answer to her partner.
"Thank you very much Jodie. You are a 'lifesaver' I believe what people say these days. Please hold out your hand or paw." The duo followed Moonjumper's instruction and pulled out their respective left limb. Snatcher had cautiously taken Jodie's while Moonjumper took Danger's. he vast difference in size was made clear as the violet ghost and feline practically overshadowed their respective partner's hand.
Both females felt a large prick at the center of their being that vanished as fast it came, a flu shot being the closest to compare the feeling. The reactions of the two ghosts were instant once they let go. A large burst of blue flame ignited from Snatcher's hand before manifesting as a pristine gold contract paper with a large bright smile and strings whipped from Moonjumper's in an elegant controlled fashion.
"I'm back in business! Maybe even better than ever since my contracts never had such a perfect pristine look to them." The specter couldn't help but admire the elegant masterful craftsmanship of the calligraphy and detailed fabric/paper of the very item in his claws. "My magic feels much better as well. It has been some time to be able to manipulate my strings like this after escaping the Horizon. You have an incredible spirit Miss Joestar."
Jodie and Danger couldn't help the big smile on their beaming faces at the Moonjumper's praise and the sorta gratitude from Snatcher. "Now to get you home! You know the telescopes on my ship, the ones that I use to travel on different parts of the planet." Hat Kid's inquiry earned a round of nods from the room's occupants.
"I was thinking that we can power up one of the telescopes so it can send you back! And the best ones for the job was Snatcher and Moonjumper." That didn't sound like a bad idea. All of them had seen how the strange objects worked, most of them even used it, they were very accurate on where they warped to and from.
"Doesn't sound too hard considering we got a sample of the kiddo's soul. It'll act like a guide to her planet and last location before ending up in that stupidity infested town. The telescope used for my forest will boost our chances since it's linked to the realm of yours truly." A larger smug smile grew on the specter's face that earned him an eye roll from the other ghost.
With a simple spell, the telescope to Subcon had undergone a significant change. It was now larger with the brown cover replaced with a deep violet marked by red spirals, a second notch by the lenses marked with a J, and a mechanism that changed the lense for a bright sea green one. "There we go. Now the telescope can warp to your world and not just Subcon Forest with a turn of the notch." Moonjumper didn't expect the sudden hug from the woman and Snatcher didn't expect her to hug him next. Hat Kid's hug wasn't a surprise.
What's Up Danger vanished as Jodie recalled the being back into her own soul. "Thank you guys! I hope we can meet again in the future someday but for now this is goodbye. My family is probably worried or on a crusade for that Stand User so best to put out the flaming torches and put down any Stand Rushes quickly as possible. Sayonara and Arigato." With a smile on her face, the girl vanished in the light of the telescope.
Snatcher and Moonjumper stared at the object a bit longer before instinctively looking at Hat Kid. She had a very familiar disaster impending smile on her face. "You're going to follow her, aren't you?" The chained specter was answered by the smug look in the child's eyes. "At least give her three days. I want to see what kind of face she makes when we pop up. Plus there's a book of spells that might come in handy."
An impossible thing to knock about Snatcher and Hat Kid. When you grab their interest expect to follow you with every chance they get. And prepare for the impending mayhem to follow. Ghosts and children always tend to cause mischievous mishaps after all.
This is another Hat in Time crossover but instead I used Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Hat Kid here is a bit more chatty because I want to practice all sorts of interactions especially with two diverse sets of characters from two different franchises.
While Unappreciated Hunter was exploration in its style, this is more of how these very unique series interact with another when you take into consideration how vastly different they are. Kind of like a melting pot as characters handle brand new situations and the oddities provided.
This is all my first attempt at writing Moonjumper so I hope I did good. Until next time folks!
This is Jodie Joestar and her Stand What's Up Danger! Alongside the song that her name comes from.

The Little Wolf Queen Chapter 1
Chapter 1: The Connection
 Ava is woken up too early, is stared at by one of the boys on the hockey team and feels weird. Shawn goes to school, his nose is on overdrive and he finds his mate.
 The first thing she heard was the shrieking blare of her alarm followed by her stepmother Elena calling her name from downstairs. Groaning, she slammed her hand down on the alarm before rolling back into her sheets to enjoy the warmth, closing her eyes….and immediately opening them when she heard her door open.
 “Ava” Elena’s gentle voice came through her room. “Ava sweetheart, you gotta get up for school”
 “No” Ava grumbled.
 “Ava honey, school is important” Elena chuckled.
 “It’s not, I’m gonna make a killing being a grumpy judge on a talent show like Simon Cowell” Ava muttered from under her covers.
 “You still need to finish school, now come on and get up before-”
 “AVAAAAAA” came the loud voice of her three-year-old sister before a small mass crashed into her body with much more force than it should’ve.
 “Oof” Ava groaned upon the impact.
 “Chelsea!” Elena chastised the small girl. “Don’t do that, you could hurt your sister!”
 “Sorry Mommy” Chelsea said bashfully.
 “Don’t apologize to me, apologize to your sister” Elena scolded.
 “Sorry Ava” Chelsea smiled before throwing herself to hug her older sister.
 “S’alright kid” Ava smiled back before reaching for her phone to take a quick snapchat of her sister being all cuddly and cute.
 “Let’s get you both downstairs, gotta get you both ready for school” Elena smiled.
Reluctantly hauling herself out of bed, she remembered why she loved her blankets so much. It may have been spring in Canada, but the mornings could be chilly. Her sleep jumper and shorts were perfect until she removed the blankets, even on the carpet and with socks on, her legs felt slightly cold. Walking down the stairs somewhat drowsily with a big yawn coming up, Ava couldn’t help but smile as the twins stood at the bottom of the stairs with big curious eyes as they watched their mom with big smiles to match.
 “Oh, by the way, they ate the rest of the chocolate cake” Elena smiled apologetically. “I can buy some more from the bakery when I drop them off at Mum’s”
 “Elena darling” Ava’s dad called from the kitchen, “Where on earth is the cheese?”
 “Back of the fridge” both Ava and Elena answered at the same time.
 “You don’t suppose he’ll ever get his eyes checked, do you?” Elena quizzed gazing into the kitchen.
 “It’s Dad, what do you think?” Ava stated like it was obvious.
 Elena laughed her bell like laugh and took the hands of the twins while Chelsea grabbed Ava’s hand and pulled her down the stairs.
 “Morning sleeping beauty” Ava’s dad smiled fondly at his somewhat disheveled daughter.
 “Dad” she acknowledged. “Can you grab me that cereal?”
 Passing the cereal to his daughter, he watched her as she sighed upon looking at her phone. “everything okay?”
 “Yeah, but last two weeks of school and then summer. Which means feeling too lazy to do those last pieces of work that get me into the 11th Grade” Ava groaned miserably.
 “Just two more weeks baby” Elena smiled kissing Ava’s temple.
 “Elena do my work for me” Ava begged.
“You’re a capable woman Ava” Elena reminded her stepdaughter.
 “Fine” she grumbled.
 Eating her cereal, she was joined by an equally grumpy Jesse and a very sleepy Noah.
 “Do you want some of my fruit loops?” Jesse asked with a big yawn.
 “Nah that’s alright, you want any coco pops?” she asked him.
 “Just a spoon” he smiled dopily.
 While he got his cereal, Noah glanced at them while eating his wholemeal ham and tomato sandwich with his favourite cheese.
 “Those cereals have lots of added sugar in them y’know. You should eat something lo GI that has protein in it” Noah told them in his four-year-old “I know everything” tone before walking off to sit on the porch with their Dad.
 Narrowing her eyes in confusion, Ava reminded herself that he was four and not 30. Then she turned to Jesse as if he had an explanation, which apparently, he did.
 “He’s been watching the food network on his sick days” Jesse shrugged.
 Elena loved the food network. It made sense.
 Finishing her cereal, she went upstairs to throw on her jeans and Coca Cola t shirt and converse before heading to her mirror. She blended out her foundation and concealer before debating if he could be bothered with proper eyeshadow. Deciding she could not, she set her face with powder, bronzed her cheekbones and used the same bronzer for eyeshadow and contouring her nose before applying a nude lip and mascara. She almost forgot her highlight but then remembered that Katie was planning on polaroid’s at school today so she applied some.
 She threw her books in her bag, her tissues and bounced her way downstairs before making her coffee.
 “Well you certainly seem to be in much higher spirits” Elena smiled.
 “All things are possible with coffee and mascara Elena, all things” Ava smiled back brightly.
 “Wanna go and round up your siblings?” Her dad asked.
 “Sure” Ava agreed. “GET DOWN HERE MY ARMY” she yelled at the top of her lungs making Elena and her Dad wince.
 “I meant at a lower volume” Her Dad grumbled.
 “There’s too many to find individually” Ava shrugged.
 Just then, a mess of four children came hurdling down the hallway giggling and laughing while they raced each other to the front door.
 “School drop off time. Alex and Levi, just where do you think you’re going?” Elena said in fake sternness with her hands on her hips.
 Alex and Levi were meant to be waiting with Ava’s Dad. Instead they had their animal bag packs on and their jackets.
 “They’re coming with us” Chelsea stated proudly. “I put their jackets on and Jesse got their bags Mom”
 Raising her eyes to the ceiling, Elena sighed. “You can come to the drop offs but then we’re coming back home to say goodbye to Dad and the dogs”
 Giggling victoriously, they all packed themselves into the car and drove off to school.
 “Have a nice day. Two more weeks, that’s all Ava” Elena reminded her stepdaughter before driving off.
 Groaning in despair, Ava turned and walked her way through school.
 “Morning Ava” Monty smiled nervously at her.
 “Morning Monty” Ava smiled back.
 Monty was the socially awkward geek in her History class who seemed to have a crush on her. She wasn’t to alarmed by him, it was his friend Gavin, the extroverted creep who bothered her.
 “Babe!” she heard the exaggerated happiness in the voice of Heather Wilson, the school’s very own demon, as she rushed over to very sloppily kiss her newest toy, Dustin Kirk. Dustin and Heather belonged to the popular kids of the school. While Ava wasn’t unpopular, she didn’t have the whole “queen” status going on for her. She noticed that some of the hockey players were present, bit early for them. She spotted Katie’s older brother and then she saw Shawn Mendes with his friends Cameron Dallas and Brian Craigen. They played on the hockey team and were kinda cute. His mom was friends with Elena and her Dad. Karen was a sweet lady. But then she spotted the one who made her heart stop. Jake Henderson. All 5ft11 of his blonde-haired, blue-eyed muscle. Snapping herself out of it before someone noticed her staring, she walked around their group and onto her friends.
 “Hello Ava” Katie greeted. “How was the weekend, we didn’t see you at all”
 “Talk about missing the fun” Leah grinned. “I don’t think Laura’s ever seen so many shirtless men in her life”
 “It was a wonderful sight to behold” Laura smiled.
 “How was games night?” Stacey smiled.
 “Good, you know Elena’s parents, heavy on the food, heavy on the wine and heavier on the desert” Ava sighed contently.
 “You know I swear you’re never happy without food in your mouth” Laura laughed.
 “Food is good for the soul. And I need about all the soul I can get in these last two weeks” Ava muttered grimly.
 As the girls continued gossiping about the latest party, Ava couldn’t help but feel she was being watched. She looked up to see the last person she was expecting to be looking at her. Shawn Mendes was watching her with an odd sort of gaze as he caught her eye. Affection? Admiration? It was strange. Suddenly she felt this odd sensation in her stomach and slightly dizzy.  Before she could linger on it, the bell rang and their classes had begun.
 SHAWNS POV
 He was early to school today. Brian’s parents had taken his brother out of town for a specialist appointment for his little brothers hearing, so they were at school before the bell rang for once.
 He was watching Heather and Dustin be their usual selves and then he smelt it. That same sweet smell he caught lingering in the hallways. Except this time, it was stronger, much stronger. Overwhelmingly so. It was all his nose could focus on. A cross between vanilla and baking sugar. He took a deep inhale and turned to his left. A girl walking by seemed to radiate the smell.
 Mate. His inner wolf told him.  
 He suddenly felt dizzy, his hands were sweaty, his body was warm and he felt a tugging sensation at his stomach. The smell seemed to overpower all his senses as shivers went down his spine. Could it really be?
 She was small and she had black hair. All he could see was the back of her covered by a denim jacket and a backpack. When she had sat down, she was against the wall and her could only see half her face. Caramel skin. And then by some sort of mercy she frowned. Was she okay? Was something making her sad? Then she looked up, right at him and he felt his whole world shift. He got lost in her brown eyes and he felt a drop in his stomach and a fluttery feeling. It was her. He had found his mate. She looked so familiar, but did he know her? Did she know him? He didn’t have a chance to linger as the bell rang and he was pulled in one direction whilst she was pulled in the other.
 He had spent the whole day with his head in the clouds thinking of her and when he was leaving school, he saw her once more getting into a car with… no…Liam Beauregard? He was notorious for his womanizing ways. He didn’t do love or commitment. He was in simple words, a dog.
 Walking his way to Jake’s car, he stared out the window in misery. His mate with another wolf? A deplorable one at that.
 “Uhh dude, you getting out or coming home with me?” Jake laughed.
 “Sorry man, see y’all at practice” Shawn grinned, shaking it off. He wasn’t sure if he was ready to tell his friend yet.
 He was lying on his bed formulating a plan to murder Liam when his thoughts returned to her and all he could do was smile.
 He had found her. He had found his mate. And she was perfect. Petite in height, quite slim from what he could see, not that he’d care if she was otherwise. Black hair, dark brows, chocolate brown eyes and caramel skin with plump lips. She was stunning. He wondered if she was Spanish or something. She definitely looked it.
 Broken out of his thoughts by his Mom’s voice telling him to leave his bed and the sound of a car pulling up, he suddenly remembered his Mom telling him Elena Prescott would be coming over for afternoon tea today. Elena was one of the few wolves mated to a human in their pack. Her mate actually helped out by playing the role of pack doctor on Wednesdays. They were both nice people. Besides, Elena was Shawn’s favourite babysitter as a kid. He could ask her about her human mate bond. Rare but possible, as Shawn now knew. Or did he. Was she human? He didn’t have time to dwell as he trudged downstairs to greet Elena.
 After saying hi and being told to make tea by his Mom, he returned to smiled at his babysitter who now had 5 children of her own now if he remembered correctly.
 “Hey there Rockstar” Elena smiled.
 “Ellie” Shawn smiled brightly at her.
 “You and Aaliyah are the only ones to get away with calling me that”
 “we were the best kids you ever babysat and you know it” Shawn grinned.
 “Quite possibly” Elena avoided answering
 “How are you kids?” he quizzed, genuinely interested.
 “Growing” she said ominously. “and fast”
 “How old are they all now?”
 “Jesse’s five, Chelsea is three and Levi and Alex are 18 months.”
 “Man, your house must be loud” Shawn laughed.
 “You’ve no idea. The dogs are quieter than my kids and you can hear them bark from here” Elena said dramatically.
 Suddenly Elena moved and knocked her keys off the coffee table which Shawn immediately picked up for her before spotting the keychain and the photo on it. Of Elena, her husband, her kids and Shawn’s mate.
 “Ellie who’s the older girl? You’ve only got 4 four kids” Shawn observed.
 “Oh, that’s Ava, our biggest ray of sunshine. She’s not much younger than you actually, Lewis actually had four kids from his previous marriage, she’s his third child and second daughter” Elena explained.
 “Does she know about all of this?” Shawn asked.
 “No, we agreed to keep her out of it until necessary” Elena said. “We’ll have to tell her eventually because of Jesse” Elena sighed. “Her best friend comes from a wolf family too actually, Katie Beauregard”
 “Marcus’ daughter?” Karen asked.
 “One and only, her and Katie have been attached to the hip since she moved her. More like sisters than friends those two are”
 He couldn’t believe his ears. Elena’s stepdaughter was his mate. He’d hit the jackpot. He could find out everything from her.
 “I feel like I’ve seen her before” Shawn muttered. “Does she go to my school or something?” he feigned ignorance.
 “Year below you actually” Elena told him.
 “Oh, well if ever see the two of you I’ll make sure I come and say hi” Shawn smiled politely before turning to his Mom. “I have practice now, I’ll be home for dinner, just later than usual. Bye guys”
 Turning and running out of the house he walked his way to Kyle’s house two blocks over, smiling the whole way there.
 Ava. Her name was Ava Prescott. The name suited her. Just thinking of her made him feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. He’d locked eyes with her for a split second but it was enough for him to know she was his mate. Beautiful chocolate almond shaped eyes and a gorgeous smile based off what he’d seen when she was dragged out by her friends, grinning at their enthusiasm. He didn’t notice much too overcome with his initial emotions and heart eyes.
 He did however notice Jason Lewis eyeing her up like a piece of meat as she got dragged past him.
Asshole.
 All Shawn knew was that he had to find a way to talk to her, get to know her and somehow manage not to freak her out in the process.
 He was going to be with his mate.

As if color genetics in hair sheep weren't confusing enough, a bunch of our lambs have decided to change color as they're losing their baby hair. One red and white lamb is now tricolor apparently, since he all of a sudden decided to get a black face and dark spots are starting to appear on his back. Another lamb, who used to be a really pretty shiny copper red, now has a half red, half dark brown face.

The Parent Trap-Part 1
Pairing: Sam X past reader, Sam X Ruby (currently)
A/N: Did you like the movie “The Parent Trap” as a kid? It is one of my favorite movies! I decided to write my own version, with a Supernatural twist, of course!
Summary: Mary Winchester and Annie Campbell meet at summer camp, and they quickly realize they look too much alike for it to be a coincidence.  They are twins! Their parents, Sam Winchester and Y/N Campbell divorced 12 years before, each taking custody of one girl.  Now Sam lives in California and Y/N in New York.  The girls hatch a plan to bring their parents back together, but will Sam’s new fiancee ruin their plans?
Word Count: 1770
Robert Singer had been doing divorce arbitration for many years and he had pretty much seen it all.  Couples who were once in love reduced to fighting over pets and vacation homes, and others whose hatred ran so deep they refused to give an inch.
Some came to see him because they thought arbitration was a quick and cheap way to get a divorce.  He could spot them right away and usually sent them packing.  Most couples he forgot about once he filed the papers, and he never lost a night’s sleep.
In all his years of practice, he had never had a case like the Winchesters. They were so young. They clearly loved each other and were in terrible pain. He often thought of them and wondered if they had thrown in the towel too soon.
“This is highly irregular.  Are you sure about this?” He asked after reading the documents.
“We are.” Sam Winchester assured him, not looking at his wife.
“But splitting them up? Not telling them they have a sister? A twin no less?” Bobby said incredulously.
“I’m moving back to New York, Mr. Singer. Sam is staying here in California. This is what we came up with. We each get one daughter, and we never see each other after this.” You said quietly.
“You understand you are signing away complete parental rights for the minor child Mary Elizabeth Winchester?” He asked you.  “You understand Sam will have full custody with no visitation, and you will have no say in any decisions on her behalf?”
You nodded jerkily, tears sliding down your cheeks. He turned to Sam.
“And you are signing away your complete parental rights for the minor child Ann Marie Winchester?  Y/N will have full custody, with no visitation, and you will have no say in any decisions on her behalf?”
Sam nodded, his eyes sad.
“Campbell.” You said suddenly. “I’m going back to my maiden name. She will be Annie Campbell.” Sam looked completely blindsided. as though you had hit him upside the head with a two-by-four.
Bobby sighed deeply. “If you are sure this is what you want.....”
ANNIE “Annie Campbell, if you are not downstairs on the count of three, that phone of yours is mine, I mean it! The Uber is here, you are going to miss your flight!” 
As much as you loved your daughter, you were looking forward to a month of me-time. She may only be twelve, but hormones had not been your friend this year. She was at turns sullen, angry and defiant.  She was growing up too fast, and you wanted her to be a kid for one more summer.
When you made the decision to get her out of the city and send her to Michigan to the summer camp you yourself attended as a child, Annie was furious. 
“Camp Blue Lake? Wasn’t that the name of the camp in Friday the 13th?” She said sourly. “You want to send me to some place where I may get murdered?”
You gave her an exasperated look. “That was Camp Crystal Lake, wise-ass, nice try.”
She finally came stomping down the steps, dragging her zebra-print suitcase behind her.  “I’m here.  Don’t get your panties in a wad!”
“Watch your mouth, young lady, you haven’t left yet, I can still ground you!” You snapped irritably, your patience completely gone. The Uber driver gave you a sympathetic smile as he put Annie’s bag in the truck.  You held the door open for her and she slid inside, and you climed in next to her.
“I know you aren’t thrilled about this, Ann, but just give it a chance. I have so many great memories of that camp. I learned to swim there. I ate my first s’more there, I kissed my first boy there......”
Annie’s head snapped up. “You kissed a boy? This I gotta hear!”
You grinned and ruffled her hair. “Maybe when you're older. I loved that place, Annie, I really did.  Some of the best summers of my life were spent there. The snack stand has the best chocolate milkshakes.  They were my favorite, so make sure you try one.”
This elicited a small smile.  “I will, Mom.”
 “So I will get you on the plane, and a staff member from the camp will meet your plane in Michigan.  I’m gonna miss you, baby.” 
For a brief second, Annie looked like she might cry. “I’m gonna miss you too, Mom.” She said very quietly.
“I made life-long friends at that camp. I met Aunt Mona there, and she’s one of my best friends to this day. Maybe you will make a special friend there too.”
Mary
“It’s not too late to back out, Sweetheart.” Sam Winchester told his daughter as he placed his suitcase in the trunk of his BMW.
“She’ll be fine, Sammy. You have to let her grow up sometime.” Your Uncle Dean said with a grin as he pulled Mary in for a hug.
“It’s fine, Dad. I want to go. You’ll be fine. You have Uncle Dean to keep you company.” A look passed between the brothers, but Mary didn’t notice.
“But now Ivy isn’t going.......” Sam said helplessly.
Mary’s best friend Ivy had been going to camp Blue Lake since third grade. Her mother went there when she was young, and they raved about it.  Mary’s dad was super protective, and finally this year he had relented and said she could go with Ivy.
But last week Ivy had broken her leg in two places after falling off the trampoline. She had a cast that ran the entire length of her leg.  She could only get around in a wheelchair, so her Mom didn’t feel comfortable sending her to camp.
As soon as Sam heard the news, he told Mary she wasn’t going either. To his surprise, she said she still wanted to go.  She was on the shy side, so that was pretty out of character for her.
Mary reached down and hugged the large Pit Bull that jumped excitedly around her legs.  “You’ll take good care of Juliet while I’m gone, right Dad?”
Sam smiled fondly at her. “Of course I will, Honey.”
“You need to let her sleep with you because she will be lonely at night without me, okay? Mary was very protective of the dog she had raised from a puppy.
“Promise you’ll call me?” She had so much of him in her, but she was starting to look like her mother it and it made his heart ache.
“I promise, Dad.” She said, hugging him tightly.
“Promise you will do something fun while I’m gone? Don’t work constantly.  This is a vacation for you too, you know.”
“I promise not to be a workaholic, Mary. Now we need to go.” Sam started the car and drove down the long driveway and down the street.  Mary looked back and waved to Dean and Juliet until both of them were out of sight.
“So you remember the plan?” Sam asked his eyes on the road.
“Yes Dad, we’ve gone over it a million times. Someone from the camp will meet me in the airport in Michigan and take me to the camp. I got it.” Mary watched the beautiful scenery of Southern California pass by as they headed to the airport.
“This is just the first time you have been away for so long, Mare,” Sam whispered.
“I know, Dad. it’s only for two weeks. I’ll be back before you know it.”
If you need me for any reason, you’ll call, right?” Sam said for at least the fifth time.
Mary rolled her eyes. “Yes, Dad.  Do they have a camp for adults? If they do, you need to go.”
Mary’s flight was uneventful, and the flight attendant helped her get her stuff. When she exited the plane, there was a young woman holding a sign that said, “Camp Blue Lake.”
Mary walked up to her. “Hi, I’m Mary Winchester.  I think you’re here for me?”
The girl’s eyes widened. “But aren’t you from New York?”
“Um...no.  I’ve lived in California all my life.” Mary told her, confused by her response.
The girl shook her head.  “I’m Sally.  I swear I picked you up yesterday.  But whatever.  Let’s go and get your bags.”
After getting Mary’s checked bag, they walked to the parking lot to a van that said, Camp Blue Lake on the side.
“Sorry, you had to come to pick me up. I bet there aren’t many kids who fly in to go to camp.” Mary said sheepishly.
Sally shrugged. “You’d be surprised. Kids come from all over. We have a lot of kids whose parents came.  This camp has been around forever.”
Mary and Sally made small talk, and before she knew it, they were heading up a bumpy dirt road surrounded by trees.  Sally parked in front of a real log cabin.  “Grab your stuff, and let’s get you checked in. Lunch is in 20 minutes.”
Mary was quickly checked in and given her cabin assignment, Evergreen Cabin.  Sally walked you up the hill to the cabin and opened the door. It was filled with girls talked and hanging out. “Hey, guys.  Our last camper has arrived, all the way from California.  Everyone say hi to Mary Winchester.”
“There is an empty bunk over here.” A voice commented.
“Perfect. Mary, go get settled in. “Lunch is in 20, girls.” Sally walked out and closed the door behind her.
"So you’re from Southern California?” Someone asked. “What part?”
“San Diego,” Mary responded.
“I’m Jill, this is Kathy and Leah.  Welcome to Evergreen. Is this your first year?” They looked like they had been here before.
“Yep. I was supposed to come with my friend Ivy, but she broke her leg.” Mary told them.
“Ivy’s not coming? Bummer.” One of them said.
Mary walked with them to the dining hall since she had no idea where she was going. After getting her food, she searched the hall for her new friends. Spotting them, she headed their way when an unfamiliar voice said, “Holy Shit!” 
A girl jumped up in front of her, and when she saw her, she was so startled, she dropped her tray, and it clattered to the ground. Everyone looked, and Mary’s face turned bright red with embarrassment.
It was like looking into a mirror. Mary’s chocolate brown hair was longer, but they had the same hazel eyes and the same dimples.  Even the shape of their face was the same.
“Who the hell are you, and why are you wearing my face?” The girl demanded
