My headcanon is when Syd is at high love and wants to confess, they get words of encouragement from Sirris. He doesn't know who they're confessing to, but he's a proud parent nonetheless.

Hello lovely ☺️. Okay so a Stu Macher x reader fic where they’ve been dating for awhile and they join the boys on their next kill. S/o flirts with Stu in costume when they get back home. He gets all flustered and gets them back 👅

(This one turned out to be a looooong one i’m sorry- nsfw under the cut )

You’re Gonna Get it || Stu Macher x Reader (NSFW)

               You’dknown Stu for at least three years now, since your second year of high school;when you started going to Woodsboro. You’d moved to the small town because yourmom had a new job opportunity and she took it, and decided to settle you downin the small down that was only a little way from where she worked. She wasgone for weeks at a time, and you found the house to yourself most of the time.She always left you with money for food and her number on the fridge, but youwere good on your own even without it.

               Youworked at the video store alongside Randy as a cashier once you hit your junioryear. You were good friends with him, but only because you worked with him andyou kinda felt sorry for the guy. Also because he held your secret of having acrush on one of the most popular guys in school; Stu Macher. He just sohappened to be friends with him, while you only ever made soft eyes at him and thoughtabout him at night, twirling your fingers through your hair as if it were hishands.

               It’d bea lie to say he wasn’t on your mind all the time. You wrote about him in yourjournal, stared at him during lunch, and meekly muttered when he even approachedyou. Randy laughed at you, saying he was only a guy, and an obnoxious one atthat. But when you eyed him by the fountain, as he laughed with his friends andhis tongue slipped out of his mouth playfully…. Oh god you could only dream ofwhat he would do to you with it.

               Whenyou weren’t looking, though, he did the same. He would stare at you during Physicsas you took notes, admiring you even on your worst days when you’d decide notto brush your hair and wear sweatpants. He’d go out of his way to bump into youto pick up your books, and he’d constantly gab to Randy about you and ask aboutyou all the time. He’d lay on his side in bed, face smushed into his pillow ashe thought about soft things, like hugging you, and maybe even getting to holdyou. Those thoughts weren’t all soft, though. When him and Billy had to getwith Syd and Tatum, he knew it was for the best. He didn’t want to have to killyou.

               But hedid invite you to his party. You were shaken up from all of the recent murders,and decided that maybe it was best you weren’t home alone this once. You toldhim you needed a ride, and he happily obliged. You knew he was with Tatum, andyou were immensely jealous of her, and last minute, as you sat in the frontseat of his car, you felt disgusted with yourself. They probably fucked in thiscar, and he wanted nothing to do with you. You should have stayed home insteadof having to deal with all of these feelings. Look at you, you even tried todress up for him. Pathetic, you thought. Stu noticed you were looking reallyglum, and as he pulled in to his driveway, he knew he had to make it up to you.

               Youreached for the handle. He locked the car door, turning to face you with a seriouslook on his face. “Y/N, I gotta tell you something…” He began, his facestarting to turn deep shades of red. Your face also turned red. Was this wherehe’d tell you to get out of his car and find a ride home? Instead, he reached acrossthe glovebox of the car and placed his hand on yours, your face instantlyheating up. “Between me and you, I’m gonna break up with Tatum tonight.” Hesaid in a whisper toned voice, as if people could hear him from outside of hiscar. The party wasn’t going to start for another hour anyways, it was just you,Billy, Stu, and Randy here anyways.

               “…Oh?”Was the only thing you could manage out right now. “And I was hoping maybe meand you could talk a little bit more…” Stu admitted, now looking down at yourhand and his, how long his fingers were to yours. “I… I would like that a lot.”You whispered back. “We’ll talk about this more after the party, kay?” He saidsort of hurriedly, quickly kissing your cheek and bouncing out of the car,unlocking your door. You couldn’t help but feel that just maybe he had more tosay than just that, but you stepped out of the car and followed after him,carrying the beer.

               Thewhole rest of the party went slow, you supposed. You’d mostly sat on the couch,your hand caressing where Stu’s lips had once been placed on your cheek. Youeyed him up the whole time you’d been at the party, and so had you. Tatum hadleft to grab more beer and you figured that’s when Stu decided to break up withher, because she didn’t come back. Syd had left a little after her with Billy.Then Stu drove you home after the party was all over, and he promised you he’dcome visit the next day to check on you, assuring you that nobody would attack.

               Tatumwas found dead in her home the next morning, and so was Syd and a few others.You found this out whilst listening to the news as you made breakfast. Tatum’sbody was “crumpled” and Sydney had been stabbed to death. You were neverfriends with them anyways, but you felt bad for Billy and Stu. Their girlfriendshad been taken by the Ghostface killer, and you eagerly waited for Stu afterwork passed. Randy would not shut up about the murderer as always, and lots ofpeople were too scared to step out of their homes for most of the day.

               Youcame home, setting your stuff on the couch and going to the kitchen to make asnack. As you flicked on the lights, there Stu sat on the counter with a bigsmile on his face, “I’ve been waiting for ya, Y/N!” He hopped down and grabbedyou into a hug. “How long? And how did you get into my house?” You asked, notworrying about it too much. “About fifteen minutes. Your back door was unlockedand I wanted to surprise you.” He said with a huge gin on his face, and youfelt compelled to smile with him. “Surprise!” He shouted and grabbed you upinto his long arms, pulling you into his arms, “I was gonna ask you last night,but I wanted to wait until we’d get some time alone. Would you like to like, goout with me?” He questioned in all seriousness. “Of course! Yes!” You meltedinto his touch; arms wrapped around his neck.

               Afterthat, he often stayed with you when you were home alone. You two cuddled up togetheron your couch and watched horror movies, giggling and shoving popcorn in eachother’s mouth. You enjoyed the goofiness in the relationship, often matchinghim and goofing off with him. It was all going perfectly until one day heshowed up on your back doorstep in his ghostface costume, holding the mask,Billy standing behind him with a hunting knife in hand. “Hey babe!” He kissedyou on the cheek. You were in shock as you stood there, watching the two idiotswalk into your home with steel toe boots. “Oh boy, I’ve got a surprise for you!”He said, absolutely unphased with the horror on your face. He looked at you asyou nodded him on. He whispered sweetly, “We’re ghostface!” and rambled onabout their whole plan with you.

              You’ve been hiding the secret for almost twomonths now, watching as they murdered your classmates and anyone around thatpissed you or them off. You were sworn to secrecy, even though you didn’t mindthat much. In a sick way, it was sweet that Stu would kill for you, even if itwas the lady at the mall who pissed you off one time. But you also found itboring to sit at home while they went off killing. “Stu, can I pretty pleasecome with you tonight? I promise I’ll give you extra kisses tonight if I can?”You whined, and he could only give you puppy eyes back. “I’ll have to textBilly about it, babe.” He replied, picking up and setting you in his lap towatch. To his disbelief, he got a yes!

              Billy arrived a good ten minutes laterwith a brand new store-bought ghostface costume with you, and Stu helped youraid your kitchen for a knife, and found a perfect one! It was a standard kitchenknife, but he ruffed your hair and kissed you. “Reminds me of Michael Myers,babe!” He said, and turned you so that you were looking in a mirror with him,both clad in costume. “Hey, it can’t wait, we have to hurry!” Billy yelled. Hehad decided to be the getaway driver and let Stu show you the ropes. You twosat in the backseat, and giggled the whole way as Billy parked about a blockaway from the house. You and Stu walked to stand by the window, peering in towatch one of the biggest football players as he flipped throuh channels on thetelevision.

              Stu made the phone calls, and yougiggled that he’d had the football player paranoid and locking doors andwindows but you two were already in the house, hiding in the pantry as youwatched him. As you listened to Stu on the phone, you reached around andtouched up and down his thigh, your fingers gripping and crawling up the insideof his leg. You could nearly feel the hairs on his body stand up as you touchedhis sides, drawing little shapes in his chest and kissing up his neck. His voicewas just nearly shaking as he began to get angry with the football player onthe other line who was threatening to call the cops.

               Stu hungup with a deep, “I’m going to skin you like a fucking hog!” And then turned tolook down at you. “Go get him, babe.” He muttered, hands crawling up yourcostume now but you pushed him off and held the knife in your hands, turningand creeping out of the pantry only to hide by the staircase. As the footballplayer was on his way to lock one of the other windows, you leapt out andplunged the knife into his back, slinging a hand over his mouth and shrieking wildlyas you continued to stab. Blood splattered all over the costume, but as hereached up a hand to pull the mask off, his hand went limp, taking it off andleaving you with a bloodstained face. You were straddling him, crazy eyed and wildlybreathing.

              You turned your eyes up to Stu, whoran out of the pantry. “Hell yeah! That’s my fucking baby! Oh my god I love youso fucking much.” He picked you up, grabbing you up into his arms and carryingyou out, then slinging you over his shoulder, giggling as he ran to the getawayride, shoving you in the backseat and crawling in with you. “Billy, you shouldhave seen Y/N! That was so fucking amazing, you did such a good job.” He kissedall over your face once he took off his mask, the car speeding off.

               The wayhome, you continued to tease him, running your fingers over his knee and goingup more and more until you were palming him through his pants, his heavybreathing in your ear as you whispered nasty things to him through thedarkness, other hand in his hair. Billy stopped the car, and winked at the bothof you on your way out, you holding Stu’s hand as you hurried inside.

               “Oh you’regonna get it now, babe!” He said as soon as the door closed, chasing after youas you ran around the house and up the stairs. He caught you just before youcould run into the bathroom to lock yourself in. He grabbed you up by yourwaist, both of you laughing as he slung you over his shoulder and carried youback to your room, shoving you into the bed and attacking your neck with kisses.“You should have known better than to say such nasty things to me while I’m incostume.” He said, dragging his long tongue up your neck now only to plant akiss on your lips. “Maybe you deserved it!” You giggled, as you raised up thecostume he wore, taking off his shirt with it to reveal his slim torso. Youcould nearly see his ribs.

               “You wereso hot tonight, hun.” He mumbled as he removed your costume and shirt as well,palming your breasts in his hands. “So were you.” You replied cheerily andpulled down his pants with your toes, seeing his very obvious hard on throughhis boxers. He mumbled something back that you couldn’t make out, and then heremoved the rest of your clothes, leaning back to admire your beauty. “Fuck…. Ijust fucking love you so much. You’re so amazing.” Stu reminded you as heremoved the rest of his clothes, leaving him naked as well. He climbed on topof you again, “You’re really gonna get it for earlier, babe” He said, and youcould feel the embarrassment curl in your stomach as he slowly pushed his wholelength into your entrance.

               You letout a loud moan as he did so, your bloodstained hands pressing into his backwhile his promptly held onto your sides. He let himself slide in and out ofyou, his body shuddering in amazement as he made soft love noises. You coveredyour face with your hands, legs shaking from being thrusted into. “Stu! Oh my god,Stu!” You clenched your fists as he hit a certain spot in your body that droveyou completely wild. He continued to pound into you as you hit multiple orgasms,the bed under you creaking. His hands fell against your neck, moving from theirspot on your hips and now choking you. Your vision went spotty, and your facered. He felt his throbbing member come to an amazing feeling, pumping faster ashe leaned into your shoulder, moaning out your name, “H-Holy shit, Y/N.” His voiceshook and his hips bucked into your ass once more, biting at your neck. Hemoved his hands under you squeezing your ass cheeks between two palms. “I’mgonna fuckin cum-“ He whimpered, letting his juices splurt into you with anamazing, warm sensation pushing past your walls as you both fell flat on thebed.

               “Thatwas amazing.” You both said in unison, you turned on your side, curled up intohim and pressed a long kiss to his lips as you both fought for breath, finallyletting go as you both giggled and snuggled until you fell asleep. God, you lovedhim to death.

Boyfriend! Felix

YESH BOI MY MEME SON

Let’s start off with you

you’re just a regular civilian doing what you do cus you’re you

and you’re also on a long ass road trip to somewhere with your friends and tbh 24+ hours with them already made you want to throw yourself out the car

thank god y’all had a rest break

but it was like at 2am at a shady rest area but at least it wasn’t loud and repeating NEO GOT MY BACK 100x

since you were at a rest station you decide that it was probably a nice time to pee bc when else will you get this chance

probably not til you get to the destination

it was really really dark there so you couldn’t really navigate your way around that well

you saw 2 doors that you were gonna assume were the bathrooms so you open one

sadly for you it was the wrong one bc as soon as you opened it and walked in you heard a loud ass scream

like a normal person you screamed back cus it’s way too early for this shit

finally you look at the screamer and was like ‘oh shit I’m in the boys bathroom’

thankfully the dude wasn’t facing you

“HOLY SHIT AM I IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM!?”

lmao this dude is dumb

he’s literally peeing in a urinal

so you kinda sorta awkwardly back out cus fuck this shit, you out, plus you were never gonna see this dude again right?

hahaha wrong

so you and your group of friends finally got to your destination at a hotel cus none of y’all were up for some creepy cabin renting when surprised

guess who also arrived at the same hotel?

that’s right my dude, urinal dude and his friends

so y’all are in line waiting to check in and it’s like really really awkward cus ya know and you’re just thinking “WHY CAN’T THIS LINE BE ANY FASTER”

Felix makes the first move cus he doesn’t do awkward situations so he turns to you and introduces himself cus yolo

you’re like yolo too and guess what? Y’all hit it off and can I just say bffs for life now

now when you all go home guess what you find out

your mans Felix literally lives 5 minutes away from your house but he just goes to a different school and is on a whole different schedule from you which is why you’ve never seen him

y’all hang out

feelings arise and boom

now onto boyfriend!Felix

Y’ALL ARE THAT MEME COUPLE THAT THE BOYS CAN NEVER TAKE OUT WITH THEM CUS Y’ALL PLAY TOO MUCH

either you guys are too into the pda and Changbin is literally about to throw up from the cheesy levels or y’all are just making them cringe way too much

food stealer

if you ever order food make sure to get extra cus you need to feed Felix, yourself and his extra stomach

rip, your fries are gone if you pull it out in front of Felix

it’s all good because Felix makes it up to you by giving you tons of affection

if you’re dating Felix that means Changbin is crashing your dates, no complaints

it sometimes leads to you fighting with Changbin (playfully) while Felix is eating popcorn in the back cus shit about to go down

Felix is a soft boy that must be treated like a king at all times

meaning whenever he has bad days or is homesick you automatically get called on girlfriend duty

prepare blankets, snacks and your softest sweater cus you’re gonna be giving Felix cuddles for hours

pet his hair and let him cry because that boy needs to let it out

on his bad days you’re gonna end up watching mean girls on his bed covered in blankets while he’s cuddling with you

kiss his freckles and steal his hoodies

just make sure that they’re actually his and not one of the boys cus this mans will get pouty

MEME WARS BITCHES

he’s the type to have all dem Kermit memes

sends you the heart ones on a daily basis because he loves you and what other way to express that then through Kermit

you send him the ‘you’re so fucking precious when you smile’ videos and y’all are just cute and adorable in every way

helping Felix improve on his Korean is a big yes because ya mans needs all the help he can get

no shade tho

so y’all start off wwith th actual Korean lessons but somewhere in the middle of them Felix suggest you guys watch kdramas to help with his Korean and you’re like ‘fuck yeah’

so y’all are watching Hwayugi and While You Were Sleeping all night and now you have to make it through the day rip

STORYTIME

guess where you go to on you’re first trip together as a couple?

that’s right my dude, Australia 🇦🇺

when you told him he literally fell and you had to drag his ass up

then he realized that ‘holy shit this was actually happening’ and did that whole spinny-hug thing cus he’s e x t r a

the day of the actual trip came up and he would not calm down

if he could start running around in the airport he would but luckily you were there to tell him to sit his ass down or you were calling Chan

all through the plane ride he was telling you about his fam, his favorite places and how he wants to visit them with you

you on the other hand are excited but also highkey nervous cus meeting Felix’s family like oof

when y’all finally landed Felix couldn’t contain his excitement and this boi bolted leaving you the job of finding the luggage at the luggage claim place

thank god it was only one big suitcase since Felix dipped on you

he eventually came back tho after he saw his family and they were like “where’s your gf, is she fake?”

being the “gentleman” he is, took the luggage from you and held your hand with his free one cus he knew you were nervous like he would be too

as soon as you met his fam all your nervousness went out cus damn his family is really chill

and wow his sisters have so much tea on him

Felix regrets everything

now you and his sisters follow each other on instagram, started streaks and friended each other on Facebook

car ride to his place was definitely interesting

who knew Felix had such an embarrassing childhood, Not I

anywho

y’all have a pretty successful trip like

after you got to his place he insisted that you go to the beach because what’s a vacation without a beach

beach day with the Lees are great

Y’all are that asian fam that go to the beach with a bunch of bbq ready to cook and take photos every 10 minutes

after that you and Felix go explore outside at night cus aesthetics like for real tho

next up on the list is a visit to Luna Park cus amusement parks are always fun

of course you also have to visit the Sydney Oprea house for pics cus damn

basically overall your trip was 100/10 and you and Felix have now gotten even closer somehow and you have two more new streaks

idk anything about Sydney or Felix’s fam so this info might be inaccurate for all I know

“I’m Ready To Go, Give Me The Green Light”: Catfish And The Bottlemen Are On A Roll And Have No Plans Of Slowing Down

It’s hard to believe that Catfish and the Bottlemen only released their debut album The Balcony less than three years ago. In that time, aided by a non-stop touring schedule and a knack for writing catchy, melodic rock tunes, they’ve become one of the UK’s biggest exports.

The Welsh four piece’s Australian roots run strong – the band are named after vocalist Vann McCann’s first childhood musical memory; a Sydney street busker who plays beer bottles strung to a wire. For McCann, though, the Australian connection goes even deeper. “My mum and dad got married in Australia and they had me over there. It’s always been a real 360 when I get off the plane. I’m there for them, on their behalf, so there’s always a buzz in the air when we get to Australia,” he says. The band are preparing to return to Australian stages for the second time this year, as part of Splendour In The Grass.

Catfish and the Bottlemen’s reputation as touring workhorses isn’t one they’ve earned lightly. Besides stopping momentarily to record their second album, 2016’s The Ride, they have been in constant tour mode. When McCann first answers the call to Music Feeds he couldn’t be more excited to chat about the band’s year so far. He rattles off the list of show dates and venue capacities that will take the band all the way until the end of the year, as if they are printed on his hand.

“We have been getting up to everything, this year has been absolute class. We started in Australia then we went to South America, then did six weeks in the US, we just got back to the UK, then we do Russia tomorrow, then we do Liverpool Arena next week, and then we do Finsbury Park in London which is 35,000…” There isn’t a hint of exhaustion in his voice. McCann is someone that very clearly loves what he is doing.

To the outside world, the band’s success may seem almost as if it’s happened overnight, but in reality Catfish and the Bottlemen have been chipping away at their local scene for the better part of the last decade, from playing in car parks and local Battle of the Bands comps, to jumping on any bill they could – the Catfish and the Bottlemen success story isn’t one that has come easily.

“We definitely have been grafting away at it. The reason why this year is so much of a buzz is because these shows that we’re about to play, all these dates that are lined up and where the album is now – we got our first number one with that last one – it exceeded our expectations.

“This is what we were dreaming of when we were sat back in the van when it was broke down on the side of the road years and years ago, just going, ‘Don’t worry about this lads, we won’t even need a van one day, we’re gonna have private jets, we’re gonna have big speed boats picking us up, helicopters, all kinds of stuff. Don’t worry about this van breaking down.’ When we’d be feeling like, ‘What are we gonna do? How are we gonna get there? How are we gonna get home? No one’s gonna notice us.’

“You always hear of these stories where bands are like, ‘We just released this music and it took off overnight.’ Our [success] wasn’t accidental. We really tried to get a deal, we tried to sell out all these venues, and we tried to make big albums and make people fall in love with our band. So it’s a nice feeling to know that it’s very clear that we’ve worked our arses off. We’re very forward about it. We didn’t get handed it, we didn’t get taken up overnight or had loads of money thrown at us or put on every magazine, every billboard. We just release the songs and the people grab it and share it and sing it.”

While their success at home may have been incremental, steadily building across years and years of hard work, their rise overseas has been much quicker. When they toured Australia as part of Falls Festival earlier this year, their sideshows were at Melbourne’s 170 Russell and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre – rooms that fit 1,000 and 1,600 punters respectively. And while the shows took no time to sell out, it’s the venues on their upcoming run, Melbourne’s Festival Hall and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion – rooms five times the size – that really show this growth.

“Wait to see where it’s going to be in another couple of months,” says McCann. “It just keeps going, the people keep getting more excited and putting us in this position. It’s worldwide now. We are doing 35,000 next week at home, but we’ve been playing in the UK for ten years. It makes you not want to stop. That’s why I know all these dates off the back of my hand

“We’re really fortunate that people get what I’m saying. When I’m writing the songs I sit there and I think, ‘I love this, I reckon the people are gonna love it,’ so it’s nice to know they’re on the same wavelength. It’s a buzz every day. You wake up buzzing.”

More recently, Catfish and the Bottlemen added another show to their Australian run, something a little quainter in Wollongong. But whether they’re playing to a sold-out arena or to 750 fans in the ‘Gong, for McCann every show he gets to play is a bonus.

“People say what’s the highlight or what’s your best show yet, but we played one in Argentina for Lollapalooza to about 30,000 people, then the next night we played to 400 or 500 people in a little bar in Buenos Aires. We did the same in America last year. In New York we played this venue, and after we sold out the biggest room we went back and did the smallest room. It was like two or three thousand to 150 cap and there’s nothing like it.

“I love playing massive gigs, I love playing festivals, then when you bring it back down to those little ones where you’re crashing into each other on stage and you’re getting caught on each other’s wires and falling over, knocking each other’s guitars out of tune because you’re so close. That’s where we honed our trait, that’s where we learnt our recipe,” says McCann.

“We’re just young lads buzzing to be doing what we’re doing and we’ve always said we’re going to do it as well, so it’s nice to come home and go ‘Mum and Dad I told you, didn’t I? I told you I’d be flying to Australia.

“Back in the day we were just little shits having a ciggie out the back and people going, ‘When are you getting a job?’ and we were like, ‘Don’t worry about us, we’ll be fine in a few years,’ and now they have to see us on the telly and they’re like, ‘Shit, they weren’t joking.’ ”

Catfish and the Bottlemen are keen to build on the momentum that’s currently fuelling them, so while McCann and the band aren’t ready to stop touring anytime soon, album number three is definitely on the way. “I turned up to management six months ago with the album ready, and the label, everyone. I’ve been saying, I’m ready to go, give me the green light, let’s record. I’d release [an album] every six months like The Beatles used to because they’re the documentaries I grew up watching. You could do it like that and you could really sing live and you could really cut it live. That’s why we wanted to be a band that didn’t need any tricks, didn’t need anything, just us four playing,” says McCann.

“We grew up loving bands. We still peep out our dressing rooms going, ‘Oh my god look, The Strokes are playing tonight, oh look there they are, they’re walking on.’ I’m still very much a music fan, so to be among this and to be flying as well, and to know the next album’s written and we’re gonna come straight back. There will be no disappearing, no ‘Oh here they are, they’re coming back.’ No comebacks, we just carry on,” says McCann.

It’s been just over a year since Catfish and the Bottlemen released The Balcony, and with their intense touring schedule, it’s hard to believe they’d have any full songs written, let alone a whole album waiting to be recorded.

But for McCann, the songwriting is the easy part. It’s finding time to get into the studio that is tricky. “It takes me as long to write them as it does for you to listen to it. I’m not one of those guys who bangs his head against his wall or goes to the fucking desert and grows a beard and takes acid [saying], ‘I found myself, I found a new way,’ there’s none of that going on.”

“When I was a kid, all I wanted from my favourite bands was to hear new songs. Once you get bored of the album – especially if you love a band, you buy the album and for six months you won’t stop playing it. After six months you’re ready, you’re like I want the next one now, I know every word, every drumbeat, I want the next one and I want to see them live again. I don’t know why anybody who does this would stop and take a break unless they have a baby – which is not likely for a while – then you’ve got to go home and be a good parent, haven’t ya? But until that time I’m just going to plough right through.”

Still, even with the news of new music being on the horizon, it seems unlikely Australian fans will get a chance to hear a new tune or two on their upcoming tour. “I wanted to start playing some new stuff but I was only going to do it if we had a chance to start recording. The first time round we played ‘7’ live and there were YouTube versions going up. It’s good because people know the songs straight away, but I think this time I’d rather give people the full version, fully finished, as opposed to little crappy live versions or acoustic versions bopping about, but tell [the fans] when it comes out they’re going to love it if they loved those last two.”

“This is what I’ve always loved about the band. We’ve never tried to write a song that fits the radio or is catchy, we’ve always just tried to write songs that hit you with how it feels and pins you to the back wall, proper gut music, so when it comes on you just have to own up to it.”

For Australian fans who are just as excited to see Catfish and the Bottlemen as McCann is about hitting the stage, you may get a chance to see them another time this year. “I know we were only there a couple of months ago but I’m trying to convince management to get us there before the end of the year again. They said we’ve got to record an album but I reckon I could do that in a week or two.”

Before their (possible) third Australian visit in 2017, Catfish and the Bottlemen will be heading to North America to support Green Day, playing in some of the biggest venues of their career. While they’re only in the support slot this time, McCann is certain it won’t be for long. “Walking into the venues, I used to always say to the boys, just to soundcheck in a stadium, just the idea of music and stadium, those two words together, there’s something about it that gives me goosebumps.

“Just sound checking in places like the Rose Bowl and Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Rose Bowl’s like 90,000 cap, so to be playing shows that big – just to sound check in those venues – it’s a fucking dream for me,” says McCann.

“I’m only 24 so I have no doubt about it, in a couple of years time we’ll be racking those up ourselves.”

#24: Jealousy

Requested: Yes

Rated: PG-13

Warnings: Swearing, Crying 

Masterlist

———

The feeling of having him gone all the time not only hurt her body but her soul as well. There were days that felt like they just dragged on for ages, while others went by rather quickly. Luke had been gone for three months this time promoting the bands album, going to award shows while she was stuck back in Australia at University. If Y/N could, she would drop out of school and be with him all the time; however, that is not how her family raised her and a university education was a good thing especially in this day in age. Y/N would get a few text messages here and there during class or late at night when she would be studying or trying to sleep but the time difference was always hard. 

As she was getting ready for a night out with some friends she didn’t realize all the texts coming through from Luke. It’s not like she had her phone on her at all times of all hours of the day, so she was a little stunned to see six unread messages. 

From: Luke  

Hey Y/N!

What’s up? Wanna FaceTime?

Y/N? 

Helloooo

Princess? 

Are you alive? 

To: Luke

Hey, sorry! I’ve been getting ready to go out with friends. 

He didn’t reply after that, actually not for a long time which Y/N thought was odd. He usually always replies quickly, or tries to at least. So she went on about her evening hanging and laughing with some of her friends that she met at school. They all decided to go out to the club where a local band was performing. As they stepped in, the smell of classy liquor and club food engulfed their senses. 

“I’m gonna head to the bar, Y/N want to come?” Her friend asked looking Y/Ns way. 

“Sure! What does everyone want?” She asked as they went around naming their drinks. Y/N and one of her friends headed over to the bartender and gave them the orders. She sat herself down on one of the empty stools near the end of the bar as her friend was flirting with the bartender. Typical. Y/N sighed, pulling her phone out. 

No New Messages 

It was very rare that Luke would just stop texting and it left an unsettling pit in her stomach. She slid her phone back in her purse, not wanting this to ruin her night. The bartender handed her the requested drink as she nodded, bringing the cold glass to her lips. The strong mixed vodka and sweet syrup warmed her throat as she continued sipping. Turning around on her stool, she watched her friends dancing and laughing while listening to the beat of bands music. 

“Why are you sitting here by yourself pretty lady?” A dark husky voice asked near her. 

“Hm?” Y/N turned to the culprit, finishing her drink. 

“I asked as to why you’re sitting here all alone.” The man said. She couldn’t really tell what he looked like in this lighting, but he smelled of Bourbon and Mariboro cigarettes; a combination that should not be mixed together, due to the awful smell. 

“I was just finishing my drink.” She said about to get up from her spot to make her way over to her friends. 

“Well let me buy you another miss.” He insisted, his bad breath making her stomach uneasy. 

She weighed her options, to accept a drink from a stranger or to just get up and walk toward her friends. Luke, never liked having her accepting drinks from strangers, but he wasn’t here and one wasn’t going to kill her. Plus, maybe if she got a little tipsy she will forget about the unsettling pit in her stomach about all the bad thoughts she has about why Luke wasn’t replying. 

“Ya, I’ll take that drink. Long Island Iced Tea please.” She said smiling at the stranger. 

“One drink coming up!” He beamed, his yellowish teeth showing in the light. Y/N was rethinking this whole drink offer and was starting to get a little creeped out. She watched the bartender make her drink and eyed the stranger cautiously making sure he wouldn’t do anything to it. Luckily, he didn’t before he handed it to her as she thanked him with a small smile. As she brought the drink to her lips she looked over the guys shoulder to see a recognizable figure under the faint lights. Shit. 

Once the person moved closer, it was more obvious that it was Luke and his friends. What the hell was he doing here? Y/N thought she was just seeing things, but when he walked up to her and glared at the guy next to her, she realized this wasn’t imaginary. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” Luke asked staring at her. 

“I should ask you the same thing.” She said as Luke took away the drink. 

“Hey man, that wasn’t cool.” The stranger said looking up at Luke. 

“Look mate,  she didn’t need another drink, she’s clearly on the verge of drunk.” Luke sighed turning to look at the strange man. 

“No I’m not. Luke stop.” She sighed. 

“What have I told you about receiving drinks from strangers?” Luke asked now turning to her. 

“You weren’t here.” 

“That doesn’t matter Y/N. Something bad could have happened to you.” 

“Nothing bad is happening? Do you see anything bad happening Luke? It was one drink.” She snapped.

“Let’s just get you home. We will finish this conversation later.” He said grabbing her hand. 

“She clearly doesn’t want to leave man. You can’t make her go.” The guy said finishing his drink. 

“You’re right, I can’t make her go. But I can advise that we should leave because I’m her boyfriend.” He emphasized. 

“Well boyfriend or not, she clearly doesn’t want to leave.” The stranger said setting his had on Y/Ns leg. She moved her leg away but he tried to touch her again. 

“Don’t touch her.” Luke gritted through his teeth, the evident anger in his tone. 

“Or what? You gonna beat me up tough guy?” The man pressed on. 

“No he won’t,” she started, “because we are going home.” 

The drive back was just awful. It was quiet, no talking between the two, just the soft sound of the recent CD in Luke’s car. They parked in the lot and he got out walking around to open her door. She said a quiet thank you as she dug out her keys to get back into her apartment. 

Setting her stuff on the counter she turned to Luke who sat himself down on the couch flicking on the television. 

“If I knew you were coming home, I wouldn’t have gone out.” She said taking off her heels. 

“That’s why I tried to talk to you. To tell you I was flying into Sydney, I wanted to surprise you, but I couldn’t keep it to myself. However once again, you didn’t have your phone on you.” The tone in his voice a little unrecognizable. 

“You know that I don’t keep my phone on me all time time. I’m sorry? But I replied to you and then you never replied back.” 

“Because I was on the short plane ride to get here.” He sighed. “But it’s whatever, you were obviously busy.” 

“Don’t do this.” Y/N exhaled heading to her room to change, Luke following behind. 

“Do what?” He questioned.

“Don’t make me feel guilty about going out with friends. You weren’t supposed to come home for another month.” She said gesturing him to help her unzip the tight dress. 

“Sorry I wanted to surprise my girl. I didn’t know it was a crime.” He explained while he pulled out a pair of sweats and one of his shirts she stole. 

“And I’m glad you’re here Luke. Always, but you didn’t have to be so rude to that guy in the bar.. He just offered me one drink.” She exclaimed taking the clothes from him.  

“He could have spiked it!” He raised his voice with her. 

“But he didn’t.” She sighed. 

“You don’t know that Y/N.” 

“I actually do know that. I watched the whole time Luke.” She tried to reason with him. 

“I don’t care. You know how uncomfortable I get when other guys offer you drinks.” His raised voice getting a little louder. 

“I’m sorry- I shouldn’t have. But you had no right to be so rude.” Her voice rising a little. 

“No right? I’m your boyfriend and I’ve told you this many times. Whether I’m there or not, I should be able to trust you.” Luke said his voice now becoming a loud yell. 

“You want to talk about trust? What about you? How am I supposed to trust you when you’re across the world with countless models and actresses.” She yelled. 

“Cause I don’t do anything with them!” He yelled back.

“How am I supposed to know that Luke!? I don’t go with you on these trips and I see photos and read tabloids all the time. And if I could, I would drop everything for you, but you know I can’t do that.” Y/N gestured over to her desk stacked with books. 

“I’m not asking you to do that! I just want you to actually respect my wishes. I don’t care that you go out with your friends. Just don’t accept those drinks!” 

Y/N was on the brink of tears. She was tired from her long week and clearly didn’t want this at all. She never expected to be fighting with Luke at nearly one am on a Friday. 

“Why? Because you’re jealous?” She shouted. 

“I don’t get jealous!” He shouted back. 

“That’s a lie Luke. This right here,” she said raising her hands toward him. His reddened face, hands on hips and foot tapping. “What you’re doing, is called jealousy.” 

“So what?” He asked. 

“There’s no need to be jealous Luke. I obviously love you and I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that.” 

“I know you love me Y/N and I hate to admit it, it worries me when you go out to bars. It just gives me an uncomfortable feeling. I shouldn’t have shown up at the bar like I did. I should have waited here and texted you that I was back.” 

“Well, how did you know I was at the club?” Y/N asked wiping her make up off. 

“It’s a Friday night and what else do university students do? Study?” He chuckled. 

“Ha, very funny.” Y/N snorted. “I don’t want to argue with you Luke. I should have had my phone on me earlier and texted you back sooner. I am glad you’re back.” 

“I’m happy to be back darling. I’m sorry for yelling at you.” He said walking up to her and embracing her in his arms. 

“It was kind of a good thing you showed up.” She laughed. 

“And why is that?” 

“He was kind of creepy.” She said as he chuckled underneath her cheek. 

“Only kind of…” He said kissing her forehead. 

“No he was way creepy.” She giggled looking up at him. 

“Let’s just go to bed silly. You clearly have had a long night.” 

“M’kay.” 

They climbed into bed together as she curled up next to him. He laid there wide awake. He never thought he was the jealous type. However, he was proven wrong tonight. 

A/N: Wow that was jack shit. But here it is! I hope you liked it. Continue to invade my inbox with requests. I am also going to start writing Broken Love again and The Teachers Son. 

Have a lovely day!!

S.IV - Ep. 10: Testing My Resolve

Written by Metal-Man X

{Ep. 10 cover}

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

INT. MAVERICK HUNTER BASE – Control Room - DAY

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

Captain glares at X and Zero from his Control Chair as they walk in.

CAPTAIN: ...So. Does anyone want to tell me what the Hell is going on???

X: The Network went down, but I took care of it.

ZERO: Huh?

CAPTAIN: Hmph..  What took you so long??

X: Excuse me? I've been stuck on Fiji all night! I was lucky enough to get a ride home from the Legion, this morning.

ZERO: What the-?

CAPTAIN: Who told you to go to Fiji!!?  You should've been monitoring the Mother Computer!!

X: I did! The Computer read outs detected nothing! So I investigated Split Mushroom and gained pertinent information, thank you very much…

CAPTAIN: Ah hah!  So you abandoned your post, and then our entire Network blundered. …Hope it was important.

X: It was!!  And I left Double in charge..!

CAPTAIN: You left it to a Rookie, who barely knows the Hunter Staff, let alone our Network System.

X looks down, slightly ashamed in his frustration.

ZERO: He's got ya there, X…

Their Commander looks over to Zero and narrows his eyes.

CAPTAIN: And you…  I didn’t even get started with you yet.

[Insert Title Card: Testing My Resolve]

Zero folds his arms.

ZERO: What?

Captain ticks in frustration.

CAPTAIN: Tsk. ‘What..’ You destroyed the entire Repliforce Marine Base!!

X: (reacting) WHAT!?

ZERO: (grinning) Hm.  You’re welcome.

CAPTAIN: How…?  Our teleporters were down and you got in undetected, no less.  What, did you wait there over night?

ZERO: …Iris took us this morning, directly.

CAPTAIN: Hmph. A physical teleport through her Repliforce Network, huh?  Resourceful… but still reckless!

X: My God, Zero.  You could’ve been killed!

CAPTAIN: You were all reckless!  You both should’ve told me you were leaving.  Instead, I find out that eight of my most notable Hunters are invading the Repliforce Marine Base through the Media.  And as far as I knew, X, you were completely missing!!

X: None of us were expecting the Network to go down like it did.  Had we never been hacked, you would’ve seen us on screen and we all would’ve been on coms, like usual.

ZERO: My Team would’ve been able to teleport home sooner too…  That would’ve saved the Armored Air Cavalry a lot of grief.

CAPTAIN: (glaring) Are they okay…?

ZERO: For now, yes.  But some of them need medical attention.

Captain closes his eyes tightly and pinches the middle of his brow, as he can feel a headache coming on.

CAPTAIN: Wow.  So you mean to tell me that... over night, X, was stranded at Split Mushroom’s laboratory while Cyber Peacock was chewing at the insides of our Network.  While Zero, went on a covert mission of his own, with Iris and Takuma’s help.

ZERO: (confirming) That’s right.

CAPTAIN: Then, our allies from the Legion picked X up on a Jet, while Zero and our very own Armored Air Cavalry obliterated the Repliforce Navy and began an assault on their Air Force…

X grimaces as he stares at Zero.

ZERO: I guess you could look at it that way.

CAPTAIN: How else am I supposed to see this!?

ZERO: We were Surviving!!  Jet Stingray deserved Retribution after destroying Sydney and our Maritime Unit.  You know that!!  I didn’t intend to engage with Spiral Pegasus from the Air Force, but suddenly there he was, and we couldn’t get home!

X sighs, exhausted at the thought of their close call.

CAPTAIN: (deducing, inferring) …Until X came home first.  And solved our problem in Cyber Space.

X: Gear-Rig was the first to pick up on what was going on.  He force-teleported Zero and the others to the Lab immediately.

CAPTAIN: Good. 

He pulls up an their mission roster on the halogen screen and inputs the new data.  The mugshots of Split Mushroom, Cyber Peacock and Jet Stingray all become black and white.

CAPTAIN: Well, with 3 more Mavericks down and you both home safe, I suppose all I can say now is that I’m glad you’re okay.  But don’t Ever worry me like that again.  From now on, we need to be more organized with our Communication.  We don’t have Doctor Cain any more as our middle man.  It has to come directly from you.

X frowns at the sound of his name, but they both nod in affirmation.

X: (nodding) You’re right.

Just then, a worried Iris teleports in to Central Command, looking around, concerned. Zero gasps at the sight of her.

IRIS: (gasping) Zero!

ZERO: (gasping) Iris!

She runs to him and they both hold each other closely, before Captain clears his throat.

CAPTAIN: Ahem! It’s good to see you Iris…

Iris awkwardly looks at her Maverick Hunter Superior and salutes him.

IRIS: Er.. Good Afternoon, Captain.

After saluting him, she puts her arm across her face and activates an internal screen from her wristband.

IRIS: I've got a message from the Repliforce.

Colonel's message is synced and displayed through the HQ Halogen screen.

COLONEL:  Zero! I'll be at the Memorial Hall! Be there!

Zero narrows his eyes and clenches his fist hard.

IRIS:  Don't go, Zero! Don't fight him!

ZERO:  This is a matter of personal pride now. There's no avoiding this... I must go.

X: Hey, WAIT!!

Before X finishes his sentence, Zero has already teleported away.

IRIS: Nooooo!

She begins to sob.

X: (exasperated, breathy) God, damn it.  Just like that…

He kneels down, feeling defeated as the sores from Cyber Peacock’s attacks continue to swell around his body.

X: (frowning) What’s it gonna take for him to listen??

Captain looks over to Iris, who wipes her tears away and turns around, worried.

CAPTAIN: …Her…

She turns to Captain.

IRIS: ..Hm?

INT. MEMORIAL HALL – DAY

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

- Pan to an overhead view of the golden Hall. -

 The vast emptiness of the room makes Colonel’s steps echo throughout the chamber.  Colonel paces around, waiting for Zero’s arrival.  He looks around with a stern face.

ZERO: (o.s, calling out) Colonel!

His eyes widen at the sound of his voice.  He leans in, surprised to see that he showed up.

COLONEL:  What!?

Zero stands on a platform by the wall with his Saber out in his hand.

ZERO:  I'm disappointed in you, Colonel!  /Hrraaaaah.

Zero /jumps down to Colonel’s position and takes an overhead slash at him.

Colonel backs away as he quickly pulls out his red saber and parries against Zero’s attack.

Zero jumps after him and attacks him again.

Colonel swiftly dodges out of the way on stage, but Zero dashes over to him, still a short distance away.

COLONEL:  (shocked) What do you think you're doing?

Zero stands upright with his head tilted down.

ZERO:  It's not too late. Stop the coup now!

Colonel closes his eyes 

COLONEL:  ...Never.

ZERO:  If that's your decision...

Zero stares at him and hesitates for a moment.  Then, he decides to go for it.

ZERO:

Prepare yourself!

Zero attacks Colonel again with an overhead slash. Colonel holds his saber up and blocks his attack, as a spark erupts.  When their sabers clash, they make an eerie electrocuting sound.  More sparks erupt as they continue to battle. Clashing their sabers back and forth, neither are able to gain an advantage on one another. 

ZERO: Rrrrr…

COLONEL: Uaaah.

The two struggle as they grit their teeth and grunt at each other, until a large spark from their sabers, separates them apart. They are equal.

From a further distance, the two look at each other with malice as they stubbornly hold their sabers up.

Colonel is about to advance when suddenly his sister cries out from just below the stage.

IRIS: 

Stop, please! Brother, please, don't you remember? Zero saved my life!

Colonel struggles to process that information.  After what he’s done to their Army, Navy, Guerilla soldiers and a portion of their Air Force, the idea of Zero’s simple gesture seemed meaningless now!  But that was his sister, after all.  The least he could do was give him a free pass.

Colonel’s face softens up as he looks at his sister.  Then he drops his guard.

COLONEL:  ...Hmm... Very well, then.

He turns to Zero.

COLONEL: I'll spare your life for now... but next time there will be no mercy. 

Colonel walks away without looking back.

 At the foot of the stage, Iris holds her hands together as she watches her brother walk away in awe.  Then she turns to her boyfriend to try to reason with him.

IRIS:  Zero, please! Don't fight with my brother! If you do, I'm afraid that one of you may end up...-

Zero jumps off of the stage and lands further ahead of her.  Without turning around, he simply clenches a fist. 

ZERO:  Someone... must stop Repliforce...!

IRIS:  Zero! 

She lightly reaches for him from her frozen frame.  The idea of watching her brother and her lover fighting like that again worries her to no end.

EXT. OMU DESERT – Offsite Testing Area – DAY

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

- Fade in -

Caption: November 24th, One Week Later.

 In an abandoned and forgotten area, Infinity Flea and his Weapons Testers have been hard at work, creating an obstacle course so that he can finally test his Giant Mech, Elucida’s abilities.

Dr. Laye, Gate and Alia arrive by Sky Car and exit the vehicle upon landing.

 DR. LAYE: Alright, we’re here.  This had better be good.

She puts on a pair of sun glasses as she closes her car door.

GATE: (excited) Oh, I’m sure it will be.

They all walk over to Infinity Flea’s team of testers.

DR. LAYE: I still don’t approve of this you know.

GATE: Come ooon, Lana.  If this thing works, it’s gonna solve all of our problems!

ALIA: (worried) …Or create new ones…

Gate looks at his colleague, bewildered.

DR. LAYE: Bingo! I concur with Alia’s sentiments.  Let’s get this over with.

 As they reach the weapons testers, Allen turns around and greets them.

ALLEN: Heeey, guys!  You made it!!

GATE: (happy) Hey, Allen.

Allen shakes Gate’s hand and gives Alia a hug.  Dr. Laye remains at a distance as she looks up at Elucida with her arms folded.

DR. LAYE: So, this is what you’ve all been working on.

The Giant Mech is standing in an open obstacle course with a track and short walls for enemy props to pop out.

ALLEN: Yep, yep.  A safe training course in the middle of nowhere, so no one can get hurt.

DR. LAYE: (unimpressed) Hmph.

Glen runs over to them.

GLEN: Hey guys, its about to start.

ALLEN: Alright, great.

The collective group walks over to Ron and Victor who stand by a soundboard with a microphone.

VICTOR: Alright, Mijinion this is it!  Are you ready??

INFINITY FLEA: (filtered) I was born ready!!  Yeeehah!

Victor /shakes his head once, almost like a tick.

VICTOR: /Heh.   Alright.  Here goes!

 -pan over to Infinity Flea in his Mech, Elucida. –

 Infinity Flea gazes at the training track before him as a Traffic Light goes from red to yellow to green.

 INFINITY FLEA: Yeeeah!!

 - pan out of Elucida’s cockpit -

 We see Elucida fly out on a walled up track as cardboard cut outs of Repliforce soldiers peer out from various pockets.

 INFINITY FLEA: (filtered) Hah!  Rocket Punch!!

 He knocks out two cardboard groups of soldiers to his left and right with the respective hands.  They make their way back into their proper sockets as Elucida flies ahead and encounters a larger and more threatening group of Raiden Ride Armor soldiers.

INFINITY FLEA: (filtered) Hahaha.  Laser Eyes!!

 Elucida’s eyes glow blue and shoot out two piercing lasers that destroy the cut outs immediately.

Elucida turns the corner to find a small wave of armed mechaniloids known as Giga Death.  The Giga Deaths carry missile launchers at the end of their arms and a distinctive central launcher on their face, which serves as a nose.

 INFINITY FLEA: (filtered) Hehehe.  Hand Beams!!!

 He puts out both hands as they glow red, and blast two wicked beams of plasma at the Giga Death cut outs.

 Elucida flies swiftly past a maze-like contraption to test it’s agility.  Then it comes upon the ultimate cardboard cutout; Infinity Flea’s ultimate goal – General.

 VICTOR: (o.s, filtered) Okay Mijinion.  This is what we’ve been waiting for.  Let her rip!

 INFINITY FLEA: (filtered, maniacal) Heheheaahahahah!!!!  Missile Pores!

 Suddenly, small holes open up amongst the entirety of Elucida’s body.  All along it’s arms, chest, legs and even face, small holes have opened up where tiny missiles peer out.

-pan inside the cockpit-

Infinity Flea grins as he is about to press the button.

 INFINITY FLEA: FIIIIRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!

 Suddenly, the cockpit flashes with red light as a tiny alarm sounds.

 INIFINITY FLEA: Huh??

 The word “JAM” appears on the small screen of his console. It flashes rapidly along with a red blinking light in his cockpit.

 INFINITY FLEA: WHAT!?  OH NO!!

 -pan outside of Elucida-

 The Giant Mech violently explodes in an instant, as every missile had locked inside all of it’s pores.

 -pan over to the soundboard-

 Dr. Laye, Gate, Alia, Victor, Allen, Glen and Ron stare at the explosion, completely flabbergasted and blown away.  They all share a collective terrified gasp.

 GATE: (distraught, shaken) Oh my God!!  Don’t.. Don’t tell me!

Alia looks over to her colleague and puts a comforting arm around his shoulder.

GATE: Not another one!!!

He slumps in defeat and leans his head in towards hers as she comforts him.

ALIA: I know, I know sweety..  It’s gonna be okay…

DR. LAYE: (sighing) Well.  This was a waste of time…

Glen and Allen gasp. Alia gives her a disappointed look but doesn’t say anything, where Gate doesn’t even react at all.  He’s used to her ridicule at this point.

Ron continues to look at the damage in utter shock.

RON: Oh man, I can’t believe it!!  We had everything down to a T.

VICTOR: Apparently not..

RON: (sad) Yeah…

VICTOR: (v.o, thinking) Heheheh…  And now all of your money is mine…

Caption:  Thanksgiving, Later that night.

 Captain sits at the head of a long table with X and Zero sitting to his left and right side. Next to X, sits his 17th Elite Unit – Alecto, Castor, Pollux, Juno, Aeson, Xanthe, Zephyr and Double. Next to Zero, sits his 0th Shinobi Unit – Tau, Takuma, Venzo, Daiske and Bahena. Next to them are the 5th Police Squadron – Jenna, Alex, Evan and Orestes. Across from them are the Armored Air Cavalry – Ren, Rayven, Burn Bishop, Stone Rook and Arboreal Owl. Next to them are the 9th Special Ops Hunters – Recon Raccoon, Scorche, Baryon, Frenzy Foxkit and Freeze Alopex. On the other side, sits members of the 11th Medics and 12th Miners – Psi, Cassandra, Lifesavers, Rho, Sierra and Oliver Across from them, the 13th Polar Wolfpack sit by the 14th Special Unit who are very thankful to be alive. Dave and Lucas of the 15th Research Division join the Legion Allies – Zarrick, Gear-Rig and Skid. At the end of the table, the 16th Unit Environmentalists sit with Green Noir at the head.

 They all join hands and bow to each other respectfully as a way of saying ‘Grace’.

 CAPTAIN: This year has been hard for us.  It doesn’t need to be said, the profound loss we have felt in recent months since the events of this Summer.  But… regardless.  I am Thankful for the Family that I have right now.  I am Thankful for all of you.  To be working with such a Resilient Team of good people.  And in this trying time of confusion and dishonor, I have faith that we will come out on top.  Here is to proving ourselves to the World once again.

They all toast.

RECON RACCOON: Amen, let’s eat!

FRENZY FOXKIT: Haha, yeah!

The two rabidly dig in to their plates with no table manners.

JENNA: (sheepish grin) ..You guys..

ZERO: Hah.

They all partake in their specially crafted energen that resembles human food.  The idea of Reploids eating has always been preposterous, but Doctor Cain insisted on this tradition since the Maverick Hunter Organization began.  Now they can’t imagine a year without it.  This is their first Thanksgiving without him.

-pan over to X’s side of the table-

X: I’m thankful for the little Ceasefire we’ve had all week…

ZERO: Hmph.  I’m not…

X: Is Iris still not talking to you?

ZERO: I don’t know…  We’ve texted.  She said she’d come back after she had some time to think.

X: Uh oh..  That could be a while.

ZERO: (worried, anxious) Ya think?

X lightly chuckles.

X: Heh.  Whenever Marty said that, it meant that we were done for about a month.  But then she’d come back so much sweeter and nicer, like nothing ever happened.  Then the process would repeat again and again if we disagreed on something..

BAHENA: That’s not a healthy relationship.

X: Hmm…  Yeah, I didn’t think so either.. But now I still miss her…

DOUBLE: Ah, cheer up my Liege.  You’re a catch!!  I’m sure you’ll meet someone else.

X smirks.  The rest of the Elite Unit give Double a dirty look.

Xanthe whispers to Zephyr’s ear.

XANTHE: (aside, whispering) Yo.. What’s up with this ‘Leige’ garbage?

ZEPHYR: (aside, whispering) I know. He’s such a suck up!

X: Heh.  I know, Double..  It’s strange.  It’s not a matter of want or even need…  I just.. miss her presence.  Even being annoyed by her..  If that makes any sense.

DOUBLE: (confused) Hm…

VENZO: It doesn’t.  But that’s okay.

DOUBLE: Haha!

DAISKE: It does…

VENZO: Hm?? How?  Why would you miss being annoyed at anyone?

DAISKE: It’s about the lost interactions, Venzo.   And the missed opportunities that you never had…

TAKUMA: Oh gee..

DAISKE: I miss Misora so much.  And I never even got the chance to really get to know her!

BAHENA: Hey.. Diaske, we talked about this.

ZERO: Ah, geeez.  I didn’t mean to make this a whole mope fest.  Look, I hope Iris and I get better, but really.. I’m fine.

X: Are you sure?  You’ve been pretty twitchy since the Repliforce got quiet.

ZERO: I’m just bored, man!  And I can’t shake the idea that they’ve been up to something terrible this whole time.

BAHENA: We’re still standing…  The World is still spinning.  I don’t see the problem.

ZERO: Ugh..  You don’t get it.

X: We’ve needed the time to recover and reassess where we stand in all of this.  I think the fact that neither of us have heard or done anything is a great thing.  It might mean that we’ll actually get to settle things once and for all, peacefully.

ZERO: Hmph.  I doubt it.  But I guess you never know..

X: That’s the spirit.  Hey, why don’t you come with me when I investigate Magmard?

ZERO: Ahhhh, I dunno.  He knew you better than me.  Honestly, I think it’s just a waste of time.

X: Ah, come on. It'll be good for you.

ZERO: Maybe..

X: There's more going on here and we all know it.

ZERO: Maybe we’ll find out something useful.  At the very least, we’ll get stronger…  And that bastard will get what he deserves after betraying his Unit.

X makes a pleased smile.

X: There ya go.

Zero smiles for a moment, until he looks around the room and wonders what dinner would be like if Iris were here with him.  He makes a melancholy face as he rests his head on his hand and his mind wanders.

-cut to-

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

INT. REPLIFORCE HQ – Dining Hall – NIGHT

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

Iris shares the same melancholy face as she stares at her Energen crafted food.  The Repliforce is sharing in the Maverick Hunter tradition, as it was something that their former Human Admiral Jenson would also participate in, along with the rest of the Hunters.  This would be their first year performing the tradition independent of the Maverick Hunters.

General sits at the head of the table with Colonel to his left and Iris to his right.

Next to her sits Spiral Pegasus and Storm Owl of the Air Force along with a number of Raiden Soldiers.

On the other side of the table, Burn Dino-Rex and Magma Dragoon sit next to each other, while Frost Walrus sits at the head, far away from them.  Between them is a series of Knot Berets.

GENERAL: Hm.  I don’t understand the Human Tradition of Thanksgiving, but I do recognize the concept of providing comfort for one another as a Family.  And now more than ever, our Repliforce needs that.

COLONEL: Agreed.  In honor of the Admiral, we continue this tradition for the first time without the Maverick Hunters.  And hopefully, this will be the first of many years to come where we prove once and for all that we do not need them.

IRIS: I’m sorry.  I can’t do this…

The entire group startles.

REPLIFORCE: Hm?

IRIS: This whole War..  It’s just become so… Petty!  I can’t take it.

COLONEL: Sister..  Is the idea of Reploid Independence really ‘petty’ to you?

GENERAL: We were mislabeled as Mavericks and attacked by the Hunters without just cause.

IRIS: Well… When you put it like that…

COLONEL: We want to live in a part of the World where only Reploids exist.  Our own Colony where no one can bother us.

IRIS: That does sound nice…

SPIRAL PEGASUS: Well, if this week indicates anything, it won’t be hard to initiate the next phase of the plan.

STORM OWL: (affirming) That’s right.

MAGMA DRAGOON: (interested) Oh?

BURN DINO-REX: The future of the Repliforce lies in the heart of Space.

MAGMA DRAGOON: (curious) Reeeally?

STORM OWL: It has become painfully clear to us that this war amongst the Maverick Hunters will bear no fruit in the long run.  It may in fact, end in a stale mate.

MAGMA DRAGOON: So you’re retreating to Space?

GENERAL: We are not retreating anywhere.  We are simply expanding our operation, outside of what this planet can provide for us.  And if anyone dares to challenge us, we have prepared for that as well.

MAGMA DRAGOON: Interesting…

GENERAL: Dragoon, you sit amongst us and yet you still act as if you do not belong.  How come?

MAGMA DRAGOON: Hm?

GENERAL: You’ve joined our faction, and truly disassociated yourself from the Maverick Hunters for the sake of our cause and yet…  You’ve been so distant.  Tell me.  What have you been up to?

MAGMA DRAGOON: Heh.  Well, to be honest, I’ve been training.  You see… I figured once word got out that I joined Replioforce, X and Zero would go right after me.  So I hid myself away in a Volcano in anticipation that I’d be the one to take them down.

Colonel, General and Iris share wide eyes as they look at each other.

GENERAL: Hm.

COLONEL: One week ago, I would say that is not necessary.  But now, I think your pre-emptive gesture is very welcome.  In fact, I am grateful for it.

MAGMA DRAGOON: (smiling) Heh.  The pleasure will be all mine.

Iris frowns.

SPIRAL PEGASUS: I squared off against Zero and a few Hunters myself.  He looks tough, but not impossible to beat. 

IRIS: (uncomfortable) Can we change the subject please?

Spiral Pegasus gives her a puzzled look.  He thought that they were done, but she certainly wasn’t acting like it.  He shifts his eyes back to Magma Dragoon.

SPIRAL PEGASUS: (ignoring) Do you… want any help?

Magma Dragoon shakes his head with a smile.

MAGMA DRAGOON: (confident) I’ll be fine.

SPIRAL PEGASUS: Suit yourself.

MAGMA DRAGOON: Just installing a few troops and some Giga Death Mechaniloids inside the Volcano, would do.

COLONEL: Sure!  Consider them yours.

Magma Dragoon narrows his eyes with a grin.

MAGMA DRAGOON: Excellent.

At the far end of the table, Frost Walrus eyes the fiery Reploids with jealousy.

FROST WALRUS: Ahem, Colonel.  Have you given any more thought to my project?

Colonel and General eye each other uncomfortably and then look over to him.

COLONEL: Err, uh yeah.  At this point, we are not exactly sure if your Geo-thermal device is necessary yet.

He nods and looks down at his food.

FROST WALRUS: Mmm.  Well..  Just let me know.  I can do a lotta damage with it.

GENERAL: That’s exactly the reason why we are avoiding it. 

FROST WALRUS: Huh??

COLONEL: If for some reason, we found ourselves in a position where the entire World has turned on us and there was no other recourse but to freeze this planet, then yes..  Your device would prove very useful.  But for now, we are really confident in our plan to Colonize Space.

FROST WALRUS: Hmph…  Figures…

The Repliforce all look stoic as they finish their plates in silence.

Iris looks down at her food with Zero on her mind.

IRIS: (v.o, thinking) As long as we don’t fight each other any more, that’s all I care about.

INT. ABANDONED BUILDING – Sigma’s Apartment – NIGHT

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

Sigma and Isoc watch his monitor carefully.  Isoc has a look of awe on his face while Sigma is beaming with content.

ISOC: So this is why you weren’t afraid.

SIGMA: Precisely.

The two of them look at an image of Space.  Multiple colonies are under construction by the Repliforce, including a large weapon that appears to be a cannon, pointed directly at the Earth.

ISOC: But our army is so diminished.  We could have done this differently.  We should have manipulated the Repliforce more forcefully.

SIGMA: (annoyed) Not another word.  You’ve been questioning my tactics since this alliance has been formed. The Repliforce and the Maverick Hunters have been tearing each other apart, which has been very entertaining to watch.  I can see that this will come to an end all too soon, however. 

ISOC: That’s what I’m worried about.  We’ll be left with Nothing!

SIGMA: Wrong.  If the odds don’t play into our favor… I am prepared to step in.

ISOC: (relieved) Oh thank goodness, there’s a plan B.

SIGMA: Hahahaha.  You fool…  I care not for these trivial matters.  My essence can transcend death and life itself, now.  At this point, the entire thing is a Game.

ISOC: (confused, fearful) Death… and Life???

SIGMA: Heeheheehhee. Hahahahaha!!  Right now as we speak, my consciousness is exploring the vastness of space.  I’ve been training my Virus form to adapt and become stronger.  One day, I might be able to manipulate all the elements.

Isoc stares at the vacant look in Sigma’s eyes from the body, before him.

ISOC: Oh my God!  You’ve become Cosmic.

SIGMA: Hahahaha.  Now do you see why the Great Repliforce War is meaningless to me?

ISOC: U-uh.  I think so…

SIGMA: Why win a War…  when I can have the World?

His body gestures to the computer behind him as we see a purple cloud resembling Sigma’s face floating idly by the Repliforce Space Weapon.

ISOC: (awestruck) Oh, my God.  (v.o, thinking) If what he’s saying is true…  Then we’ve already won.

INT. LAYE LABS – Weapons Testing Wing – NIGHT

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

A frustrated Blaze Phoenix looks at the room with the rest of the weapons testers.  He searches Infinity Flea’s desk for plans or evidence of anything that might have gone wrong, but he finds nothing.

BLAZE PHOENIX: AAaarrrgh!  I can’t believe this!  There’s NOTHING!!!

The weapons testers mourn their missing leader.

RON: I can’t believe it either.

GLEN: Just like that..

ALLEN: He’s gone!!!

VICTOR: Let’s face it guys.  There’s nothing we can do, but move on.

Blaze Phoenix growls and aggressively mumbles.

BLAZE PHOENIX: We were gonna take them head on!  That Mech was gonna destroy their forces!!  And now it’s all GONE!!!

VICTOR: Not necessarily…

His co-workers perk up.

RON, GLEN & ALLEN: Hm?

VICTOR: I found out through a reputable source that our weapons have been sold to Burn Dino-Rex of the Repliforce.

RON: Really?

GLEN: So.. What… does that mean?

VICTOR: Well, on the surface, nothing.  But… for our purposes, it means that I know where one of them is.  And since this is illegal activity, it means that he doesn’t expect company.

ALLEN: Oooh, no waay.

Victor nods confidently.

VICTOR: Way.  He buys off the books and he’s stationed at Sunhouse Mountain in Kenya.

BLAZE PHOENIX: Oh man!  This could be it.  We would’ve gone there with Infinity Flea!

RON: We can still go!!  We’ll just grab our best weapons and give him Hell!

ALLEN: (inspired) Whoa, yeah!!

GLEN: Let’s do it!

BLAZE PHOENIX: Alright!  I’m in.  It sucks that we didn’t get to do this with Infinity Flea, but.. this is what he would’ve wanted.

ALLEN: Damn right.

BLAZE PHOENIX: Victor, can you hold the fort down when we pay this guy a visit?

VICTOR: (grinning) Definitely.

BLAZE PHOENIX: Excellent!  We’ll go out tomorrow during our lunch break.

GLEN: Ooh, hehe. I like this!

Caption: November 25th, 21XX.  The next day.

 X and Zero stand tall by Captain at his Central Console.  Double sits at a console desk by Captain’s side, where Red Noir used to sit.  Iris’ console, which used to be manned by Blue Noir is empty.

Captain looks at his two best Hunters with a smile on his face.

CAPTAIN: Alright you two.  Go out there and give him Hell.

They both share a nod and a resolute grin.

X: (grinning) We will!

They walk to the teleportation platform and stand on it.

Zero gives Captain a thumbs up, and X clenches a fist with a determined smile on his face.

 -Freeze Frame. Grainy Effect.-

 NARRATOR: With a renewed resolve, X and Zero are about to embark on their next mission against the treacherous Magma Dragoon.  Will their investigation shed new light on the Maverick Operation at hand, or will they be left with more questions?  And what will the Repliforce do if they prove successful?  I’m afraid that this ceasefire may be short-lived.
