The backstage of the circus is bustling. Another night, another performance. Several people are up on stage, doing their acts for the audience of mostly Caine's NPCs.
Starro smooths down his hair and applies another coat of yellow onto his cheek stars... it's cold and itchy, but he manages. Until a little paint spills on his bright red-and-yellow costume. Gangle, who's recovering from her contortionist and drama act, runs over with a towel.
"Hang on, stay still, I got a towel!" She announces, squeezing through passerbys as she approaches Starro. He sees her and waves excitedly, very thankful she can't see his cheeks... or any of his stars for that matter.
"You never spill the paint- nervous about tonight?" She asks.
Starro quickly shakes his head. "No! No, um- I'm not nervous! I'm excited!"
"Anything different about tonight? Will your sister be there?"
He rubs the back of his head, looking away as Gangle wipes the paint off his costume.
"No, she's busy... also she's not my sister."
"You keep saying that... did something happen between you two?"
"No, not really... she's just not, and I'm still looking for my real sister still."
Gangle gives Starro a confused but sympathetic look.
"How do you know....?"
"Well- I never thought she was my real sister to begin with, just that she was LIKE a sister because we were so close and we liked calling each other that... I know that I'll know my real sister when I see her."
"If you say so.... are you at least ready for tonight? Youve been missing a lot of practices lately.." She asks, getting the last of the paint out of the velvet fabric.
"Yeah, totally! I got this, no sweat! And I practice almost every day, a couple days off is NOTHING. I just wanted to help some people out, that's all!" Starro flicks his hand a little, confidence radiating from his face.
Gangle giggles a little. "Alright well, good luck! You got 10 minutes before you're on, I'll let you do your thing now. Bye Starro!" She waves and walks off.
"Bye....!" Starro sighs and watches as she disappears into the crowd of backstage workers and performers.... she's so sweet.....
He places a hand over his chest star, feeling his pulse quicken. Odd.. usually he's not this nervous.
Meh, it's not every day his crush willingly volunteers to clean paint off his outfit.... yeah, it must be that. That would explain it.
This will be easy, he thinks. I've done this routine a million times, I got this! She'll love it!
Starro gets up from his seat and goes to loosen his muscles before his big performance. Who cares if he's missed a day or two of practice, he could do this routine in his sleep.
What could possibly go wrong?

Re-watch thoughts – Stranger things – season 1, episode 3
If you missed the last re-watch thoughts:
Ok, let's begin:
I may have made a mistake, starting this in the night.
And we’re off, Barb is alive! But barb is also in a gross ass place. If I woke up in a place that had slimy tentacles all over the place I would just keel over right there. Forget the monster. I would be like, excuse me sir. Please move to the left, I need to have a heart attack right about here.
Annnnddd Steve and Nancy are getting it on. Poor barb. She is fighting for her life and nancy is… fighting to feel something. I don’t know, Steve and Nancy just didn’t click.
Aaaah that theme song. I’ve missed you.
Why do I feel like this episode is going to be anything but holly jolly.
Nancy seems… sad. STEVE. Wake the fuck up man. Where is your chivalry man? The girl is about to walk home in the dead of night when there are literal monsters everywhere. Although to be fair, you didn't know there were monsters but still - it's nighttime man. No one should be walking alone in the night. Oh wait, she drove. Still, walk to her car? Tell her to call when she gets home? I dunno. I'm just saying, more of an effort could have been made.
Omg. Mama Wheeler. I like that she’s trying to be there for Nancy. I appreciate that. Also, mama Wheeler appears to be wearing eye-shadow to bed. I mean, it’s a choice.
Oooo no, Joyce. Jonathan is like what in the Thomas Edison is happening here? The lights are talking?! I mean, I can’t imagine what Jonathan is going through right now. Like he’s worried sick but he’s also got to stop his mum from going off the rails. Little does he know that Joyce is closer to the truth that anyone else.
Holy crap they’re all so SMOL. I appreciate Lucas coming up with a plan and Dustin being like I brought the snacks, you are welcome. I repeat, Dustin brought the snacks. I want to be in his group.
LOL, I love the way El is just staring at Dustin when he tries to get her to lift the toy with her mind. It's very much a "boi bye" face.
Omg, Mike giving El his watch is adorable. I had one of those calculator watches at one point and I would never have given it away to anybody.
Nancy has a trapper keeper!!! Nancy has a trapper keeper.
Who knew Hopper was quite the charmer? He was very nice to Patrick. I appreciate that he didn’t yell or anything. You could tell that the security guard was just like - I'm just here for the money man, i don't make the rules.
El is leaving the basement! and she’s... reclining. I like that. Live your best life El! You won't get much of a chance to relax later on. Was Stranger things sponsored by Coke? It just doesn’t seem like El and Coke had a good time together. Wow, the ads were long back then, huh?
Annnnd Joyce has found more lights. This woman does not give up and I love that for her. I mean, I would not have been able to come up with this plan. You know, I’d be that person who would be like ok, if it’s letter A, turn the blender on in the kitchen. If it’s letter B, turn the bathroom light on, if it’s letter C turn on the toaster. And then you know my dumb ass would forget which is which and I'd be saying random letters and words and Will Byers would have died of frustration. Just given up right there in the upside down.
OMG. HOPPER AND HIS DEDUCTIVE REASONING. I AM IMPRESSED.
You know, these lab people are either dumb as shit or bored as shit. They’ve opened a portal of some kind and instead of social distancing the fuck away from that thing or torching the whole damn building, they’re getting all up close and personal with it. I don’t need that kind of drama in my life. I’m barely keeping up with my phone bill let alone monster portals.
El seems to be having quite the reaction to the music box. Does it come back later or is she remembering things or maybe she’s thinking of her mother. Oh! Oh! She’s spotted barb!!! Do you think she knows something happened to Barb?!
You know, words cannot explain how much Steve needed these children in his life. The character development required was something only those adorable hooligans could have achieved with all their meddling.
Lol at Lucas telling Mike he's in love. But honestly, Dustin finding the rock and giving it to Mike after he gets shoved just to make Mike feel better is such a lovely form of love.
Jonathon is definitely giving full psycho stalker vibes with all the pictures of Nancy in the dark room. Look, I don't like the bullying and the shoving and the damaging of private property (especially a camera like Jonathan's, that shit is expensive) but all the photos of Nancy especially the one of her undressing from the window is just not ok. Like come on Jonathon, you can do better. Be better. Honestly neither of these two are good enough for Nancy in their current state. They both have much evolving to do.
Meanwhile, Nancy is like I don't have time to give a fuck about your perviness, I'm pretty sure Barb's gone missing and how the hell am I going to explain leaving her alone. She did to Barb what Steve did to her that night (re the leaving people alone in the night, not the smexy times, although Barb and Nancy could have made one hell of a power couple. The brain power and common sense alone.)
Awww Mama Hopper went to check on Joyce. Love that. And she asked how Jonathon was doing. Mama Wheeler is good people I think. Also tiny Holly is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. annnnnd she's following the lights and is about to be captured by that thing. I mean, really. Is no one safe?! Has that Demogorgon no morals?! She is a CHILD. WILL IS A CHILD. WHY DO THEY KEEP GOING AFTER CHILDREN???????
Hopper ghosted the librarian 😂😂 well, she's no Joyce, it's not her fault.
Mike really showcasing his vocabulary here. Mouth breather, wastoid. You can just see El being like is this how the young uns speak?
I don't like it when they yell at El. She took you to the right spot dumbasses! Just ask Joyce, she been talking to him! And even he said he was right here! It's not her fault no one else knows.
Oh no, oh no, oh no. Sirens are never a good thing. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. That's not good. But also, I don't buy it. (I know it's not true, but I'm just saying even when I first watched it. I didn't buy the corpse). Like he was just talking to Mama Wheeler!
Um Joyce. Joyce. JOYCE. JOYCE!!!! Get the fuck outta there. THAT AIN'T YOUR SON! HE AIN'T GOT LONG CREEPY FINGERS AND TALON LIKE NAILS. ABORT. RUN. RUUUUNNN.
It's nice to know that Nancy and Mike still run to their mum when everything gets too much. I really think Mama Wheeler has like untapped potential.
The parallel mom and son hugs is just a very emotional moment. I'm suddenly re-living the moments I've hugged my mum like that (although my situation was much less traumatic. I had just dropped an ice cream).
Excellent episode. Sometimes slightly slow paced but somehow a lot also happened.
On to the next one!

Chapter 5
"Hi guys! Dad weren't you going to the party?" You go to your dad and kiss his cheek.
"I just stopped by, since Roci-ya can't cook and I don't want my daughert to die in a fire cased by a moron" Law petted your head and went back to cooking "can you please make the salad?"
You nod and start washing the vegetables.
"Hey! I'm not a moron!!"
You look back at your grandfather and see him with a cigar on his hand too close to his featherly coat. "Granpa you're on fire" you say casually.
Roci trows himself on the floor and start rolling.
"Moron" Law mumbles, you chuckled at that.
"How is the search for job?" You pick up a knife and start to chop the vegetables.
While keeping a look at the beef he shook his head "Your mother put my name on the mud, it will be hard for any hospital or agency to accept me without hearing my side of things, and not only the documents" he sighed again and start to put everything on the table.
"I heard that U.A. was searching for a new assistent for recovery girl  so why don't you try for it?" Roci helped putting plates on the table.
"I don't know... It's on the other side of the city, almost 2 hours of commute" both take their hats off as you sit down to eat.
"It would be grate for Y/n-chan's future" he smiles at you.
Law slam his hand on the table "If you are imposing what career path she has to choose we are out of this house!" Your dad glared at your grandfather, who huffed and crossed his arms.
"If I didn't do it with you, why would I do it to her?" You started to eat silently. "But I understand where you get it wrong, since U.A is the best school for heroes there is, but that doesn't matter, now days they let even quirkless people into their school, there are more then just the hero course, there is the Support, Business, General studies, but that school is one of the best ones out there, it would be an excellent thing to her, and you know it"
Law nods "Sorry, I will look into it"
Rocinante started to eat but your dad got up and went to change his clothes.
"And how was your day sweetie?" you keep looking to your father's bedroom door.
"It was good, I made a map of the region and marked places that I would like to visit, the school of this region has a weird bully guy" you go back to eating.
"Bully?" He looks at you worried.
"Yeah, but it's fine, Robin-sensei helped me, also..." you eat more of your father delicious food "that dude looks like our neighbor's dog with his spiky ash blond hair, just like a pomeranian"
Your grandpa laughs out loud and almost falls from his chair. "You totally are your dad's daughter!" And he went on laughing as you finish eating, the doorbell rung soo after.
You went to the door and saw two blond dudes "Hello, how can I help you?"
The one that had a head that looked like a pineapple smiled and said "I'm Marco and this is Sabo yoi, we are Newgates and we are here to fetch your dad"
"Oh! Your gonna be my teachers!" You smiled brightly.
"Oh my god are you realky daughter of that man and that monster?" You heard a third voice, when you looked behind them you saw Luffy, that was punched on his stomach, which he just laugh it off.
"BE KINDER YOI!" Marco said and looked back at you "I'm so sorry... what's your name again?" He extends his hand
"Y/n, nice to meet you" you shake his hand. "My biology and geography teacher right?"
"Right, and Sabo is your languages and strategy teacher yoi" Marco pats Sabo's shoulder and smiles "can we go in and fetch the most important person of the party?"
You open the door and let them in "last door to the right" as you were closing the door Luffy stopped you.
"We are going out as soon as we got Torao" you nod and wait for them.
You hear them going inside the house and say 'hi' to your grandpa, then a door bursting open and your dad shouting at them. After a little more shouting you see then coming back to the door... while Luffy carry your dad like a sack of potatoes.
Tumblr media
You and your Grandpa laugh as soon as you close the door.
The night was good after that, with some more chatting and watching some pro hero drama.
...
You woke up on your bed and looked around your room, that still had boxes, so you did like any other person would do in this situation, you pouted.
As you got up and got ready, the guilt of having your dear things in boxes was heavy on your chest, so you sight and got to work.
...
From sunrise till the early afternoon you were cleaning and organizing your room, you had actually finished hours ago, but you were worried that the bed under the window would make winters unbearable, so you changed it.
Then the nightstand was too close to the door, and that made the mirror too close to the bed, so you basically remade your bedroom 5 times.
Tumblr media
'Maybe I should ask for a rug, the floor is so wood cold..."
Finally glad with the result you noticed that you were hungry, probably because you didn't ate nothing all day.
As soon as you got out your room with the dismounted boxes you felt eerie by the empty house, making you nervously open you cellphone and calling Robin.
'If she's free I will like to go out and-'
Your thoughts simply vanishes as you see the house keys on the bowl that is by the entrance door, both your dad's and your grandpa's keys were there!
You run to your room and get the backpack, and run back to the door, you take the keychains out of their package and put it on their keys.
Tumblr media
You put Granpa's key with the cracker, Dad with the dark chocolate, and you with the marshmallow.
"So cute! But... why are their keys here? It's a week day, they should de out and about" you go and knock on your dad's doors "Pa?" You open the door after no hearing anything, and is meet by your dad sleeping while hugging someone.
You slowly go back out and close the door...
'Who the fuck was that???' You run to your phone and call your grandpa.
"Hi Y/n-chan! What's up?"
"Hi grandpa Roci... so did you forget your keys?"
"No I got them right her-... omg I forgot my keys" he huffs
"Yeah and... did you called my dad this morming?"
"No, I let him sleep since he got back at 3 am"
"Hmmm... did you see anyone by any chance? Like a woman..."
"What? No, why?"
"H-he brought someone... she's on his bed... right now" you say and start making coffee for 2.
"Oh shit- sorry, mmmh... I-I don't know... what do you want to do about it?"
"It's not the lady's fault that dad didn't think about that with his probably drunk mind, I will go outside again and will leave a note for her, I would appreciate if you helped me and told my dad off about it"
You hear a sigh "Yeah, leave it to me, he isn't a teenage boy, there are rules about that, and also it could be dangerous to you"
"Thank you grandpa, I'm gonna spend the day with Robin-sensei, she just texted me saying that I should not eat here, I will talk to you later" you write a note saying "pretty lady please leave as soon as possible" by the side of the 2 coffee mugs.
You go outside the house and locked the door behind you, when you saw Robin's car and her smiling at you, you wanted to run to her and give her a hug so you did.
"Bye sweetie, have fun" he turned off the phone.
"Hello, ready to meet a new friend?" Robin asked while hugging you back.
"Sure! What's the family's name?" You separate the hug and goes to the other side of the car, sitting on the front seat.
Robin came in after you "Midoriya, they are really sweet, I think you will like it"

Movie Nights and Pillow Forts. (Hournite)
Tumblr media
Summary: The team has a movie night and Beth and Rick share a pillow fort.
Warning: None
Categorie: Fluff
Read notes at the end.
The week had been hectic for the new JSA, fourteen tests collectively, a fitness gram in Beth's gym class, six late assignments for Rick, and sleep deprived Courtney and Yolanda were not having any good times. And that's not even mentioning the ISA and their mysterious plans.
Pat tried to take it easy on them during training, his parental instincts telling him something was wrong.
As they walked into Pit Stop for their training session on Friday, they found the training room to be void of equipment. No half made puppets of the ISA, no punching bags or targets to aim at.
The team gave Pat a questioning look and he explained himself.
"We're gonna try something different. You guys have had a hard week and over exerting yourselves isn't helping anyone out in the long run. So you're gonna take it easy for today."
"Thanks dad," Yolanda and Rick joked.
"So what are we going to do?" Courtney questioned.
"Just some easy team building excercises. You all have to feel just as comfortable being together as you do being apart."
"We do," Beth defended brightly, but shrunk at how everyone stared at her. "at least, I do."
"Yeah, no thanks. Team building excercises? This isn't summer camp and I'm not three." Rick stated.
"Be nice, Pat's just trying to help." Beth chided.
Rick rolled his eyes but complied.
"So what did you have in mind?" Yolanda requested.
"Well, just something easy, hopefully that you'll find fun. Get you guys a little de-stressd."
"Pillow forts!" Beth exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, what?" Rick turned to her.
"Pillow Forts. I never had any friends to make pillow forts or have sleepovers with, but they always seemed super fun to make." she explained brightly, not even realizing the sadness in that statement.
Rick's heart hurt at the underlying weight of the words she didn't even realize was there. He understood what it was like to feel alone. He wanted to reach out and hold her hand but he didn't.
Courtney smiled at the girl and said, "I think that's a great idea, we could build them together as a team-"
"And Chuck could project a movie while we're inside. We could totally have a sleepover." Beth proposed.
"And where are going to get pillows to make the forts, this is a car shop not a mattress firm." Yolanda brought up.
"Pat can go home and get stuff." Courtney offered.
The team looked to Pat, the girls had pleading eyes and Rick looked plain uninterested.
"I don't see why not." Pat said.
Smiles took over the girls' faces and Courtney highfived her friends.
"Ooh, and I could get snacks from my house. Just get on comms and tell me what you guys want." Beth offered. "Of course, if you're willing to drop me off, Mr. Dugan." she said sheepishly.
"Sure, kiddo."
"Yay!"
"Okay, well, let's get going. Court, I'll tell your mom you're staying over at a friend's house, the rest of you call your parents and let them know you'll be out."
"It's fine, my parents probably won't even notice I'm gone." Yolanda grumbled bitterly.
"Same here," Beth chided. "They work at night a lot now that I'm older."
Rick stayed silent, wondering if his uncle would come home at all that night. Not that he'd bother to check on the boy.
"Okay, well be back soon," Beth smiled, grabbing her goggles our of her bag and running out the door to catch up with Pat who had already gone outside.
The three teens stood in silence for a bit before Courtney and Yolanda started looking for good spots to set up their fort.
"Don't forget comms," Courtney reminded before turning hers on.
Yolanda and Rick followed her example and were met with Beth's voice.
"Alright, we're almost at my house, what movie were you guys thinking of watching?"
"Umm, we're not really sure, what can Chuck play?" Courtney replied.
"He can do anything really, oh wait, okay, anything but badly done historical drama or science fiction. He prefers something more accurate."
"But isn't the entire point of both those genes the fact that they're dramatic and fictional?" Rick queried.
"Chuck says some stuff just goes too off the charts. It's more the inaccuracy that irks him. What about something from the 80's, that's always fun. Maybe something like The Breakfast Club, or Heathers." she proposed.
"Nah, not Heathers. That Kurt guy was a real asshole." Rick chided.
Courtney and Yolanda turned to him in confusion, surprised he knew anything about the dark teen drama.
Rick simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, we're at my house, gimme a minute while I look for my keys. Be right back." Beth said before their connection cut out.
"Kurt was an asshole?" Yolanda prodded
"What?" Rick defended. "Beth told me a bit about the movie."
Courtney snickered.
"You shouldn't say profanities around Beth. It would be a shame if her Prince Charming was a bad influence."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rick interrogated
"Nothing," Courtney shrugged before giving Yolanda a knowing look.
"What?" Rick pushed.
The girls only shook their heads. He was about to say something else when Beth came back online.
"Hey guys, sorry, I kept dropping my keys. What do you guys feel like. There's a ton of chips. And some chocolates. Ooh, I found a huge bag of candy from Halloween. It's still closed!"
"Uh-" Courtney was interrupted.
"Popcorn is a must." Beth added before the sound of something being placed in a bag took over the coms.
"Are you just taking everything?" Yolanda asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." Beth confirmed. "And Pat shouldn't be back for another fifteen minutes so I should have time to grab some pajamas."
"Oh, that's smart. We're just going to be sleeping in our school clothes." Courtney stated.
"Actually, I have some clean gym clothes in my bag, a few shirts and a couple pairs of shorts. You can borrow some." Yolanda supplied.
"What about you, Rick?" Beth spoke.
"It's fine."
"No, come on, we're all gonna have something to wear. I'm sure I can find something, or maybe Pat can get you some clothes."
"It's okay, really."
"Nope, too late, I already have clothes for us."
"How are you so fast?" Courtney wondered aloud.
"I'm magical." Beth joked.
Rick almost said 'yes, you are.' But pushed that thought down to the furthest reaches of his soul.
"Maybe something scary?" Yolanda said.
"I'm not a huge fan of scary movies." Beth replied.
"What about a rom-com?" Courtney offered
"No way." Rick opposed.
"How about Twilight." Courtney said.
"No!" Rick and Yolanda exclaimed in unison.
"Harry Potter?"
"We don't stan JK these days." Beth expressed, earning a nod from Yolanda.
"How about a mystery movie?" Rick proposed for the first time.
"I'm unopposed." Yolanda declared.
"Me too," Courtney agreed.
"Okay, I'll if there's any mysteries Chuck reccomends. He says he likes Clue." Beth provided.
"Sounds good." Courtney replied
"Yeah, sure." Yolanda answered.
" M'kay," Rick added.
"I'll be back, I need to get the rest of my stuff."
"Rest of your stuff," Courtney began. "I thought you had everything, what else are you-"
"Bye guys!"
"-getting?"
Courtney quickly shrugged it off before guiding Yolanda to once again look for a place to set up their pillow fort.
Rick leaned against the table behind him until Pat and Beth got back a bit later.
The short girl came in wheeling a suitcase behind her.
"What do you have in there?" Yolanda was first to question.
"Food, clothes, nail polish, some toiletries, pillows, blankets. Just the basics."
"Isn't Pat already bringing blankets? That might be too many."
"We're making pillow forts, is there ever such a thing as too many blankets?"
"That's fair." Courtney input.
Pat came in, sliding a cardboard box against the floor.
"These are some covers we never unpacked and I have pillows in the car." The man announced.
"This is going to be so much fun." Beth proclaimed, opening her suitcase and pulling out five blankets. Two pillows that had been shoved inside sprung out and we're grabbed by the girl. "So, where are we making these?"
"Court and I decided we'd have a place over here," Yolanda pointed to a corner below the stairs. "And we would tie some of the blankets up and let them hang down and then we could space the sides out with the stools."
"Nice," Beth complimented. "How about you Rick?"
"Umm...I don't really know how to make a pillow fort." He stated plainly.
"Oh, that's okay, I can help you. I read up on it during the ride back."
Rick nodded his head curtly before standing up straight and allowing the girl in front of him to lead the way.
With arms crossed over his chest, the boy listened intently to Beth as she rattled on about all the different ways and places they could put up the fort. He felt strangely giddy at the amount of excitement in the girls voice.
The two settled on a spot next to Courtney and Yolanda, choosing a similar approach to the construction of the fort. Beth ran up the metal stairs and instructed Rick to toss up a blanket. She tied two of the ends around the rails of the walkway and repeated the steps until the fort had four 'walls'.
Beth ran down to Rick, who was tossing pillows inside the fort, taking an excited look at their creation.
"And for some added structure," the girl grabbed two foldable chairs from across the room, dragging them to the fort, placing them inside. She moved one back until it, and the fabric covering it, met Courtney and Yolanda's stool. She then moved the other side approximately the same distance on the side parallel.
Beth emerged from the fort all smiles. Rick embraced the slight smile that made it's way onto his face when he saw her ecstatic expression. She raised her hand to highfive him which he awkwardly returned.
Pat had sat watching the kids build their forts, happy that they were having fun, but stood when he realized it was getting dark.
"Okay, I'm gonna head home. Please, keep everything in one piece. And Court," Pat gave the blonde a pointed look, " the staff comes home with me."
"What?" Courtney, who had built her fort with the help of the staff, asked caught off guard
"Yes. I'm going home and it needs to come with me. It had to go back in its box for the night. I'm glad the two of you..." he struggled to find a word," bonded. But it needs to go back home."
"But Pat," Courtney groaned.
"No 'but pat's, it needs to go back home." he stated softly.
Courtney looked at the glowing stick that levitates next to her. She pouted, but moved her head in Pat's direction, signaling the staff to go with him.
"See you tomorrow," she told it.
"There's a mini fridge and a microwave in my office. Remember, one piece. Night kids, have fun." Pat chided as he walked out the door.
"Goodnight Mr. Dugan." Beth called.
When he drove off, the teens sat in silence before Beth spoke up.
"I'm gonna go heat up some popcorn. There's snacks in my bag and Rick, I brought some clothes for you to change into."
"Thanks." he said as she tossed a large t-shirt and pair of pajama pants in his direction.
Beth went into Pat's office to make to popcorn as Courtney and Yolanda settled into their pillow filled heaven, wrapping themselves in blankets and waiting for Beth to get the movie started.
Rick went in his fort and decided he might as well change into the clothes he was given.
He had just reached for the t-shirt when he heard the fabric pulled back.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Beth cried and turned away when she saw Rick was shirtless.
"It's, fine, what's up?" he asked masking his blush by pulling the shirt over his head.
"Um," Beth flushed. "I was just wondering if you wanted any popcorn. She said shaking the bag in her hand.
"No, I'm good, thanks though."
She simply nodded before uttering,
"Chuck's gonna start the movie soon."
"Kay."
Beth shuffled off to give the girls popcorn. Entering the tent she was greeted by Courtney and Yolanda saying, "Hey," in unison.
"I have popcorn." Beth sang.
"Ooh, yay." Courtney praised.
"Give," Yolanda said, making a grabbing motion with her hand and smiling happily.
Beth gladly complied, handing the bag over to the girls.
"I'm gonna get Chuck to start up the movie. Don't eat all the popcorn without me, I'll be right back."
The two girls nodded, grinning, and opened the popcorn.
Beth left the fort and got her goggles, placing them over her eyes.
"Ready Chuck?"
"Indeed."
"This is going to be great!"
Beth took off the goggles and pointed them at the wall across from her, gently placing the goggles on the floor as the opening credits began projecting on the wall.
She rushed back to the girls' fort and stepped inside to see Courtney trying to throw popcorn into Yolanda's mouth.
"Okay, it's on." Beth announced, loud enough for Rick to hear as well.
The girls moved closer to the opening of the fort and peeled back the opening to watch the movie.
They watched lazily, sometimes shifting to find a better way of sitting. Courtney and Yolanda carried on their own conversation as Beth painted Courtney's nails listening to the movie in the background.
As the girls waited for their nails to dry spoke to eachother lowly as to not disturb Rick next to them.
Beth lightly tapped her nails to see if they were dry and Courtney and Yolanda shared a teasing look.
"Do you think he's lonely over there?" Yolanda asked Courtney, just loud enough for Beth to hear.
"I'm sure he's fine." Courtney continued
"I don't know, maybe someone should check on him?"
The two turned to Beth with a knowing look.
"I'll do it," she offered immediately. "Yeah, it's not right for him to be all alone."
She rose from her position and stepped over pillows to leave the fort. She quietly walked over to his fort, hearing Courtney and Yolanda's quiet giggles behind her.
The front Rick's fort was a little open. Beth walked to the side and pulled the blanket back.
"Knock, knock." Beth spoke
"Hey," he greeted.
"I thought you may be lonely. Well, Court and Yolanda thought, but I wanted to see if you needed company. So I can stay. Only if you want me to of course." she rambled.
"Yeah, sure." Rick responded softly, scooting over and patting the spot next to him. She gladly entered and took her place next to him.
Her legs were crisscrossed and she twiddled her fingers, appreciating the glittery polish on her nails.
Rick turned to her, a smirk on his face.
"Thanks for making this with me," he gestured to the fort around them. "It was...surprisingly fun."
"Told you." Beth gloated, bumping her shoulder to his.
"Yeah, you did." Rick said under his breath as he gazed at her. He admired her eyes, the way the light reflected off of them. Rick inhaled sharply before taking a leap of faith.
He draped his arm across her shoulders to test the waters.
She quickly moved closer and laid her head on his chest. A wide smile graced his face, she didn't notice though, focusing all her energy to prevent the blood rushing to her face. She failed.
They stayed in that position until the movie ended.
Rick was half asleep by the time the credits finished rolling. He was snapped awake by Beth moving from her position and making a move to leave the fort.
"Where are you going?" He whispered.
"I'm gonna change then go to sleep in the girls' tent. And of course say goodnight to Chuck."
"Oh," he responded, trying not to let his disappointment peek through. "Okay. Goodnight."
"Night." she smiled and left the fort.
Rick frowned but perked up just a bit when her heard Beth's sweet voice say goodnight to the goggles. He thought it was adorable how much she cared about the AI in those goggles.
He layed back and tried to fall asleep but soon realized it was much more difficult when Beth wasn't in close proximity. He ran his fingers through his hair frustratedly and tried to build up enough courage to just ask Beth to stay with him that night.
But he quickly found he didn't have to. As if the universe heard him, he saw Beth cautiously lift up the opening of his fort.
She looked sheepish as she met his eyes.
"Courtney and Yolanda are hogging all the space inside. Would it be alright if I could, maybe, stay here. It's up to you." she questioned quickly.
Rick nodded his head as apathetically as he could, when on the inside he was absolutely thrilled.
Beth slowly stepped into their fort. Rick made note of the oversized black t-shirt she wore that fell over her light green pajama pants.
She layed down facing the opposite direction as he did, but bot could still feel the body heat radiating off the back of the other.
"You know the reason Court and Yolanda sent you over here was probably so they could have the tent all to themselves." Rick stated.
Beth thought about it for a minute before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank goodness. I was worried they were getting tired of me. Phew."
"Why would they get tired of you?"
"Everyone does at some point. Even if it's just for a little bit."
"Hey," Rick said darkly. "I'm never gonna get tired of you. Ever. Not even for a little bit. You understand?" He asked with a seriousness yet softness she didn't see often.
She nodded her head, hoping he could understand the gesture even if he wasn't looking at her.
Beth moved back until she made contact with Rick. Their backs were pressed up against eachother and they both found comfort in the warmth of the other.
Beth lay frozen, worried about if Rick was okay with the contact, but her worries were soon relieved when she felt Rick's hand reach for hers.
They interlocked their fingers, still not looking at one another, before they both fell into a peaceful sleep.
...
Rick woke up to light streaming through the covers of the fort and the sound of giggling.
He looked to the source of the noise to see Beth and Yolanda holding the blankets open.
"What?" He asked groggily.
They only giggled more.
That's when he registered the weight that covered half his body. Beth was practically on top of him, her face snuggled in his chest.
Rick's eyes widened and his system was shocked awake. He heard Courtney smack her hand over her mouth to muffled her laugh at the sight of the boy.
"Pat's going to be here in half an hour. We need to take everything down." Yolanda supplied.
Rick nodded his head tiredly and the girls walked away, letting the blankets drop behind them.
Rick gazed down at Beth, angry with himself for liking their position so much. He groaned internally as he tried figuring out how to wake Beth up.
He gently tried to move her off of him, laying her just beside him.
"Beth, you have to wake up." He tried softly, lightly shaking her shoulder.
She groaned, but complied, blinking several times.
"Pat's gonna be here soon, we have to start taking everything down."
Beth frowned.
"But it's Saturday, can't we just stay here for a few more...hours?" She proposed.
Rick chuckled softly at her question but shook his head.
"It's already light out, my uncle probably knows I'm gone." the boy grimaced.
"I wish you could just live with one of us."
"Yeah me too," he whispered.
Beth propped herself up before crawling out of their fort.
Rick followed and saw she was heading up the stairs to untie to blankets. He saw the pout on her face as she undid the knots and watched the sheets fall to the floor.
"You know, maybe we can do this again sometime?" Rick called up, smiling when he saw Beth perk up.
The team worked together to undo everything and neatly organize their pillows and blankets. They all decided to change back into their clothes from the day before, Courtney and Rick returned their borrowed clothes.
Rick helped Beth stuff everything back into her suitcase and they finished just as Pat arrived.
"Hey guys, how was your night, good I hope?" he questioned.
"We had a really great time," Courtney confirmed. "Thanks for coming up with the idea, Beth."
"No problem, I always wanted to do something like this." the girl smiled.
"You guys ready to go?" Pat asked.
"Yeah, we're all set." Yolanda said.
Beth just nodded happily.
"Help me get everything in the back." the man directed.
Once everything was done, the girls began piling into the car.
"Rick, you coming?" Courtney asked.
"Oh, nah, I'm just going to walk home."
"You sure kid," Pat verified.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Aw, okay, talk to you later Rick," Beth came over and gave him a quick hug before retreating into the car.
Pat drove off and Rick waved goodbye to the girls.
The boy turned and made his way home. As he walked, he thought of his interactions with Beth. He couldn't explain the flutter in his stomach when he saw her excited, or how naturally comfortable he felt by her side.
One thing he did know though, was that Beth made him happy. They could do anything from sitting in silence at lunch, to fighting crime, to sleeping in a pillow fort.
One thing was certain, Beth Chapel was a wonder, and Rick was all there for it.
The End.
Okay, that was my second hournite fic, i hope you liked it. I'm super lazy so i didn't edit it, so if there are any errors please let me know. I'm not sure if anyone picked up on the reference I made when Rick said Kurt Kelly was and a-hole. For those who didn't know, Cameron Gellman played Kurt Kelly in a television adaptation of Heather. I just thought it was something funny to throw in there. If you have and comments or criticisms, let me know in the comments. I sound like a YouTuber, lol. I hope everyone has a great day and if anyone has any prompts they'd like to see, let me know. That's all for today💕💕
Sincerely, Tessa.

Chap 8 Up the creek
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island... The competitors were forced to conquer their deepest, darkest fears. Not all of them succeeded, but others surprised the group and faced their fears head-on. In a shocking twist, Tyler let the Bass down when he was too chicken to face the chicken. Get it? [laughs] And it was "Buh-Bye, Tyler." Once again, the Bass find themselves behind. Can they pull this one out of the water? Find out today on Total. Drama. Island!
Iris an the Others listed to Chris explain the challenge.
Chris: Bass, Gophers, today's challenge is a true summer camp experience. A canoe trip. You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake... [spookily] to Boney Island! When you get there, you must portage your canoes to the other side of the island, which is about a two-hour hike through treacherous, dense jungle.
"Wait you mean one of the most flocked to paranormal hot spots. That Boney Island!" Iris said alarmed Chris laughed "I take it you don't mess with that?" He asked looking at his daughter. "Why else would I carry sage and sault. They can do anything to you." She said quivering. "Are you sure it was blood you were afraid of?" He asked skeptically. Iris nods at him.
(Confessionals)
Iris
"Look you cant physically do anything to a spirit. But if provoked or even on a wim, they can seriously mess you up. That said please don't let there be a dip shit on this team. Oh wait Lindsay and Beth both dipshits."
*static*
(Confessional end)
Geoff: We've gotta pour what?
Chris: "Portage." [fly buzzes] Dude, walk with your canoe.
Geoff: Oh.
Chris: When you arrive at the other end of the island, you'll build a rescue fire that will be judged by me. The first team to paddle home and return their canoes to the beach is the winner of invincibility! Move, campers, move! Oh, wait! One more thing I should mention. Legend has it, if you take anything off the island, [spooky voice] you'll be cursed forever!
[thunder]
Iris looked at her whole team. "None of you do anything to piss off the Island. So many people have died at that place." Leshawna "White girl more superstitious than my granma. Take a chill pill we will be fine." She said patting Iris on the back.
Owen: Yeah, haha! A cursed island! Whoo!
Chris: Now, get in your canoes and let's have some fun!
Owen: Yes!
[toilet flushes]
Beth[coming out of the bathroom]: What'd I miss?
Chris: Canoes.
Everyone got in the canoes and made our way to the island. Leshawna was watching me. "Hey so how are you and Duncan doing?" She asked trying to get my mind off of things. "He wants Courtney. Thats ok did think we would get together anyway. " I said feeling my heart brake with every word. "Girl let it go he will see what a prize he lost. Far as I'm concerned you are one of the sweethearts on the island. If you ask me the best way to heal a broken heart is revenge." She said not knowing what she just suggested.
When we get on the Island and start walking. I look over to my right and there they were giant  Beavers.
We all started to run being chased by these over grown carpets.
Chris: [confessional] A remnant of the Pleistocene Era, the woolly beaver is a day-active rodent indigenous to Boney Island. Oh yeah, and they're meat eaters.
(Confessional Off)
After losing the overgrown carpets and dodging the diving birds trent gets caught in quick sand.
(Confessionals )
Iris
Ok maybe the spirits are not behind the killings in this place. The Island is still a death trap though honestly this is a place Antonio would love.
*static*
Trent: Right. How am I supposed to know what quicksand looks like? It looks just like sand.
*static*
Chris [laughs]: Can you believe they fell for that?! Haha, I set it up, but I didn't think anyone would walk into it! Haha, that's just great! [laughs]
*static*
(Confessionals Off)
After getting trent out of the sand pit we make it to the beach. The bass got their fire going. What a shocker with someone who carries a lighter.  "Beth stand here look up at the sun and smile." The sunlight reflects off her  braces strategically placing a magnifying glass the fire was started. Izzy made a bomb out of tree sap and other things. This giving us the edge. We stayed to head back, when Izzy gave the bass advice on how to get to shore. "They are the enemy dip shit don't help them." I said Glaring at Courtney and Duncan.
(Duncan Confessionals)
I think she is gunning for me and Courtney. Whatever bring it on small town girl.
*static*
(End Confessionals)
We were almost there when DJ swam past us taking victory for the Bass. Leshawna: You cost us the game! You are dead!
Izzy: Right. Okay, you are so lucky that my license to kill is currently expired.
At the Elimination Cerimony.
[dramatic music]
[wolf howls]
Chris: And now, the always anxiety-inducing marshmallow ceremony. When I call your name, come and get a marshmallow. Beth. Trent. Gwen. Cody. Owen. Heather. Leshawna. One last marshmallow. The person who doesn't get this marshmallow will walk off the Dock of Shame and take a ride on the Boat of Losers. Who's it gonna be?
[helicopter blades whir]
RCMP Guard: Izzy! We know you are down there! You are under arrest!
Leshawna: You mean all that trash you were talking was true?
Izzy: No. Just the RCMP part. See ya! You'll never get me alive!!! [laughs maniacally]
Chris: Well. That wraps that up. Night everyone.
I stayed by the fire Leshawna's words in my mind. "Yes revenge sounds good to me." I said with an evil smirk.

FELT// Chapter two [tyrus]
Hey okay guys so the rest of the book will in cyrus' pov sorry of thid makes anything confusing I deeply apologize.
If you haven't seen chapter one that's here:
It's been weeks since Amber and I first hung out and we have been hanging out every day since. We have hung out so much that buffy and Andi were getting jealous, After I told Amber she suggested that the we have a mini party while her parents are out, Nothing crazy just a few friends of amber and T.J. that way there isn't so much pressure. "You would sit through Jandi drama for me?" I asked in aw. Amber gave me a look "Jandi...drama?" She asked clueless. "Jonah and Andi. it's their ship name." I sighed disappointed at my friends lack of fandom knowledge. "Right...anyways if it gets too bad I'll just talk to you but I think I can handle it." she laughed "and T.J. is going to agree to this?" "And is T.J. gonna agree with what?" T.J. asked slowly looking towards Amber. "Small party tonight! very tiny but you can invite reed and lester." Amber smiled hoping he would just go along with "Why would I do that when I could just hang out with reed and lester in my room?" He asked "because the party has to look chill and laid back and unforced." Amber said  "So to not make it look forced you're going to force me?" T.J. rose an eyebrow and I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous it must seem. T.J. and Amber to both break eye contact and looked at me "This really is crazy maybe we should just deal with the forced awkwardness of hanging out with buffy and Andi" "No, I'll do it." T.J. said "but it is crazy" he smiled at both of ud before turning around and leaving. Amber rolled her eyes and we began planning.
-------------------------------------------------------------                       
The party seemed to be going well Jonah,gus and walker were hitting it off and Andi and Buffy were off to a fresh start there were others, but none that I really cared to talk to, that was until I saw T.J. alone at a table.
“What happened to your friends” I asked pulling out a chair to the right of T.J. at the end of the table he seemed taken back I assumed it was because the most I've spoken to him in the past weeks were when he would answer the door, but even then he just called for Amber and left.
After a moment, he replied. “Lester is looking for pudding despite my attempts of telling him we don't have any and I sent reed home.” he said “why'd you send reed home?” I asked letting my curiosity take hold. he raised an eyebrow and I began to regret prying “Do you always ask intruding questions?” but then laughed “Reed is... complicated.” he adding shaking his head “Great friend, but we are very different.” here's where I realized I made the mistake of assuming I knew who T.J. was. “I also might have gotten tired of his comments about my sister”  he said causing me to laugh “Just tell him to ask her out she's been dying to use one of her reject lines” I smiled turning to where she was at i watched as her and Andi were dancing and for a moment I thought maybe she could lime her too
Just for a moment though because before i could blink Jonah was pulling her away. her smile falling only for a moment before turning around and sitting next to amber
“Cyrus?” I heard turning my head “yeah?” I asked looking at T.J. “You didn't hear me did you?” he said looking amused my face fell “Sorry I was seeing how Amber and Andi were doing.” truthfully that happened a lot, me getting distracted worrying about other people but he didn't need to know that. “Yeah so was I” he said still looking at amber when he turned to me i guess he could see my confusion because he then asked me a question i wasn't sure how to answer “Amber likes Andi, doesn't she?” i thought I sensed a bit of sadness in his voice and hoped it was because she didn't tell her and not it was a girl that she liked I waited too long to respond i know I did silence says a lot but i answered him anyways “I think if you want to know something about Amber, you should ask Amber.”
I partly felt like it was my fault he asked. If I lied and said i was just say dreaming, the conversation would have been off them and T.J. wouldn't have asked.
“How are my favorite boys doing?” Amber perked between us a hand touching each of our shoulder “We were doing fine before you showed up.” T.J. joked causing me to smile because relief of T.J. being mad at her went away.  “Aw! that's what i said when you were born.” she took a seat beside me “Amber we're twins” T.J. said in a duh tone. Amber reached her arms back pretending to stretch “best 8 minutes of my life” she sighed “So how exactly do we kick everyone out of the house now that you guys are… Shall I say friends? We should watch the conjuring tonight.” she smiled “I'm down” T.J. smiled clamping his hand on my shoulder and getting up “IT WAS NICE HAVING EVERYONE COME AGAIN NEXT TIME” he shouted at the 10 people in the living room “well that's a passive aggressive way to tell someone to get out” I smiled walking to sat the living room and saying bye to buffy and walker before she left i couldn't find andi and jonah so I assumed they had gone home. After about 15 minutes the house was cleared. “I told him” Amber smiled “told who what?” I asked “i told T.J. said i looked really happy talking to andi and then said i always look happy when i talked about andi so he asked me if i liked her and i may have ended up telling him i liked girls and he was cool with it.” my face dropped and i took her hand and smiled “Amber! That's great I'm so happy for you!” I said and i meant it i was unbelievably happy for her. “yeah i know” she was still smiling “Can you spend the night?” “yeah but I have to walk to my house first and get some things first.” I said “T.J.!” Amber called from the room we were in and T.J. came in seconds later “yeah?” “Cyrus is spending the night so can we take him to get his clothes?” Amber asked “Yeah if we can go now I'm ready to watch the movie” he said
I forgot all about the movie I thought I could sneak past it but seeing as T.J. is excited for it and I want to have some kind of connection with him i decided to just deal with it.
The car ride there was nostalgic fergie bops Glamorous, big girls don't cry, and london Bridge. Most people i know listened to these songs but i was still shocked to see T.J. sing all the lyrics to fergalicious. Me and Amber were both in the back screaming the lyrics along with him and when we got to my house only Amber ran in with me. I told my mom I would be back tomorrow around 6:00 and we left. Amber begged to stop by the store and seeing a neither me or T.J. wanted to go in we both stayed in the car.
“So” T.J. turned around to face me “ I know about Amber.” he seemed happier than when I first found out he suspected it. “And you're okay with it?” I asked finding that having a conversation with T.J. was becoming less and less forced. He nodded “I'm just really happy she's happy” he smiled “Plus it is a relief knowing she won't ever date reed just to piss me off again”
I laughed at that “Again?” I questioned he raised an eyebrow “She didn't tell you?” I shook my head “ofcourse she didn't tell you she was probably embarrassed. Anyways, well In 6th grade i broke a vase, it wasn't important and it was 10 dollars but,  i blamed it on Amber anyways. She didn't get in trouble she actually got a hug for crying at my accusations but she was out for revenge anyways and ending up dating reed for a whole week. He cheated which obviously amber didn't care since she had zero feelings for him but to this day she regrets it because reed thinks that's whole reason she won't get back together with him” he explained the story and it was my turn to raise an eyebrow “No one thought to tell him she never had feelings for him? That could end this whole thing.” I laughed surprised.
“Reed hitting on amber has been a thing since elementary school no matter how much either of us complain the moment Reed gets into a real relationship and stops will be a very sad day” he said before I could reply I heard a known on the trunk and turned to see Amber, her figure disappearing behind the hood as she lifted it up.
“You heard all of that and we will make sure she knows you know.” T.J. smiled at me before turning back around. Amber came in the car and I couldn't help but make the first punch. “it's funny you have a crush on andi who has short hair and dated reed who has short hair… you must have a type” I smiled innocently “T.J. YOU TOLD HIM” she pulled the strings on her hoodie hiding her face “Sorry I couldn't help it, you can't just let your friends stay alone with me and not expect me to tell your darkest secrets!” he cranked up the car beginning to drive off “T.J. thought you were in love with me when we first started hanging out” that shocked me but i couldn't help but burst out laughing along with her “I did for a week and then i told you i think that's just how he acts” he said “what is that even supposed to mean” I continued to laugh “you know like your nice I noticed your nice to everyone” T.J. started to drive and the laughter died down “that's so not true!” I said knowing that it was very much true “Dude, Jenkins dropped his books while knocking yours out of your hand and you helped him pick his up.” T.J. laughed “that's so cyrus” amber said “Jenkins isn't that bad he is just douchey” i said knowing he was THAT bad. “Trust, he is i play basketball with him. That reminds me, if you ever decide to be fully out Amber and Jenkins gives you shit let me know. He is known for being homophobic.” We pulled into the driveway and she jumped out “That's the exact opposite of what I'm going to do but thank you for the tip” i began to wonder if that's why jenkins was always a total dick to me, could he tell I was gay? I pushed the thoughts aside when we got to Amber's room we all decided to watch it there and Amber had the bright idea to make a fort so we brought in chairs and blankets and moved her bed to the side and the mattress off of it.
A/n this ended weirdly but i wanted to start chapter 3 from the fort being done.
