Olympique Lyonnais Behind the Scenes (Episode 5)

This covers the month of January. Better late than never but alas some of us have jobs that we want to keep and cannot be chronically online. The Behind the Scenes translations is one of those times where I wish I was technologically apt because then I could just upload the video and add subtitles, alas, neither OLPlay nor my technology skills will ever make that happen.

I have no shame in confessing to this - I didn't want to do this one because Carpenter is in it and I am so irked by all the fucking Arsenal fans/stans suddenly thirsting for her to join their godawful team after the abuse she is has gotten from Arsenal stans the past two years. To act like she should join that club after what those people have said / done is so completely tone-deaf. Likewise, suddenly using "le clean sheet" every time your goalkeeper does their actual job is not as cute/funny as you think it is. It's annoying. It's so fucking annoying.

I will also save those godawful stans the time and say that Lyon / Carpenter do not address Carpenter's engagement to van de Donk as Lyon is a serious club who doesn't use a player's personal life as a marketing ploy. The purpose of the Behind the Scenes is to get to know the players' mentality and thoughts about the month's events.

Blah blah standard disclaimers apply; @OL Comms I feel like chipping in to contribute my Starbucks fund is the least you could do considering all the free work I am doing for y'all; how amazing would it be if some of you would actually get the mental help you so desperately need; y'all know the speech.

OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS BEHIND THE SCENES (EPISODE 5)

Ellie Carpenter: We had a lot of games. We had Champions League games. I think it was a much needed break for everyone.

Selma Bacha: We really needed to have a break, because there are players who went straight into the World Cup so they didn't have a lot of rest. Everyone benefited from the break. For me, I went to Tunisia, where my family is originally from. So I had a great time with my family. And then we started up again. The break was short.

Damaris: It was good for everybody I think to go home, to be with our families and friends. Just to push football aside and enjoy ourselves. Yeah, that's always a good thing.

[OPENING CREDITS]

[TRAINING FOOTAGE FROM GIRONA]

Sara Dabritz: We went to preseason camp. It was really good. We spent a lot of time together. We had a nice hotel. It was intense but it's like that in camp. But I think it was good for us to prepare for the [second half of the] season.

Carpenter: The training camp in Spain was a nice way to come back at the start of this year to train well, to get the basics back, get back in the gym. And it was also really fun for the team morale. The camps with the team are always really fun. We have to work fun but also enjoy ourselves off the field.

Bacha: It was hard because you come back from break and you have to dig deep and work hard. So it was really hard because we had a fitness test over there.

Carpenter: The worst moment was probably the running test we had to do, the 1.5km [1 mile] sprint test.

Bacha: Honestly, that's when you realize that Olympique Lyonnais is a family. You can see it in the video clips, we're encouraging each other. The cohesion was top.

[TRAINING FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: My favorite moment was the team cohesion activity with the golf carts. Honestly it was so good. We had to do stuff - well, we had to do funny things. It was the best part.

Carpenter: Driving around the hotel trying to find clues, that was very fun.

[TEAM COHESION ACTIVITY FOOTAGE]

Carpenter: Yeah, we knew we had Paris FC as soon as we got back from Christmas break. After having been off we thought it might be hard to come back and play against a top team in Europe, in France for sure.

[LYON - PARIS FC GAME FOOTAGE]

Bacha: We got right into it. We know that those sort of games, they're going to very very big games because Paris FC is a really good team who has really improved and recruited really well. And honestly, it was a big game. We had to work for that win, so the game was won on mentality.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: Paris FC has shown that they're a great team, they're a top team in Europe, doing well in the Champions League and, yeah. The intensity was high. I think you could feel that everyone just came back from holidays but we'll fight, until those last five minutes when we did score.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: Ah, Ada's goal, that's just Ada Hegerberg. That's it. There's no other forward who can do that. Honestly, when we celebrated - even I spoke in English, I said "what a goal". [Hegerberg speaks English when she's annoyed, which is why Bacha brings up the linguistic switch] Her shot was really incredible. You can watch it over and over. If you ask her tomorrow to do it it, she will. And it's true that she's the kind of player whom you can count on in big games. Everyone should have an Ada on their team.

Damaris: Yes, it was a magnificent goal. Speaking for myself, I was far back. It was a long ball, I headed it forward. I saw the ball stay there and I saw Ada [Hegerberg] call for the ball. When you're behind, you can see everything. Right before she took the shot, I was like "well, that's going to be a goal."

Carpenter: Yeah, she's a big game player, she scores big goals. So we needed that in that moment and she did that. So it was very cool.

[LYON - PARIS FC POSTGAME FOOTAGE]

Bacha: Honestly, it's good for us and it gets us going. I think we've been really good since the start of the season. And when I talk with players on other teams, or other coaches, they tell me that Lyon this year is unbeatable, so I hope it continues like that and we'll bring all the trophies home.

Damaris: The work we did for that game, we worked really hard. I don't think we were really efficient but we had a lot of opportunities to score.

Carpenter: Yeah, I think it was important that we started the year off with three points and continue our perfect streak in the league.

[LYON - MONTPELLIER COUPE DE FRANCE GAME FOOTAGE]

Dabritz: We had the game against Montpellier in the Coupe [de France]. I remember Amel [Majri] scoring a magnificent goal. It was a right on target.

Majri: Yeah, I saw Lindsey [Horan], she won the ball back. I called for it, she passed it to me. I think Ada [Hegerberg] was besides me asking for it as well, but I don't know, I think I was focused on what I was doing. So I just took a shot and it went it.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: Yeah, it's really great. Good on her as well because you can see she is starting to get her rhythm back. It's not easy when you're not playing all the time. Here, honestly, I'm just so happy for her. I hope she continues like that because she's the sort of player we really need.

Carpenter: Yeah, I love playing with Amel [Majri]. Yeah, I think she's one of the best players in the world I've seen or played with. [is she though...] She's an amazing talent and you can see what she's capable of now when she's getting back to the top of her game.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: The team is in very good spirits at the moment, and you can tell that on the field. Off the field, we're a very close group and we work for each other. And on the field, you can see we're very connected. We're just enjoying ourselves out there, we're not too much pressure [on ourselves], we're just trying to play good football.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Majri: So really, when I went to call for the ball, I could see that even if I got it, I didn't think I could do much with it. So I said to myself, "Amel, leave it", so I left it and there was Ada [Hegerberg] and then a goal. And I thought - well I'm not going to lie to you, when I left I thought to myself "I hope she gets it". And to be frank she was doing great work before, because Lindsey [Horan] got past the opponent, and she [Hegerberg] just shot across. Honestly, it's a great goal.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Majri: Yeah, I'm happy because it's always nice to implicated in the build-up to a goal. I think that what I bring in terms of the style of play, I try to be involved in the ball movement, moving with the ball, moving without the ball. And I have good sensations, I feel good. Beyond that it's also the fact that I have been playing in consecutive games. But in terms of full games, I think it's one of my best performances since I have come back.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: I guess playing a team one week after the other, twice in a row, it's quite difficult. It was a different Montepellier we faced at their home as well, away. Yeah, it was a tough game, it was one we had to grind out. Yeah, we knew they were going to come out different, like after beating them in the Coupe [de France], we knew it would be a completely different game since they're at home, and they totally showed that.

Bacha: We know that the league and the Coupe de France have nothing to do with each other. We know that Montpellier is a very, very aggressive team. And we knew that playing at their stadium was going to be hard. But here, yeah, it was really hard.

[MONTPELLIER - LYON GAME FOOTAGE]

Bacha: The night before the game, I was really focused on myself. I knew there were people coming to watch us, members of my family. And then, corner. It comes back to Eugenie [Le Sommer], who gives it back to me, and I was like - I knew exactly where I wanted to put it. So I pulled it in and placed it on Vanessa [Gilles]'s head. So really, really happy.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: It's that left foot, it's my left foot. What can I say. But beyond that, I work really hard. I know that I always want perfection. Because I know there are games where the crosses aren't good, but I really want perfection.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: My second assist for Ada [Hegerberg], it's vintage Ada-Selma. It's that connection that I think not a lot of people have. Honestly, with her, I know where she wants the ball and - honestly, I don't even have to look up. Because I cross, but I already know where she is.

Carpenter: Yeah, Selma [Bacha] is a great crosser, a great assister. Yeah, they're perfect, those crosses, pinpoint. If it wasn't for her we probably wouldn't have gotten the three points. So it was great to have her service [LOL at the Franglais here - the correct word would have been contribution], it allowed us to score goals.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Dabritz: I remember that it was a very intense game. But it's always like that against Montpellier. It's always a game which comes down to the duels, to aggression. They came back with that goal, it was a game which was a little [Dabritz mimes going back and forth] But then we won it and that's the most important thing.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Dabritz: We gave it all on the field. And it's normal to have games which are more complicated than others. And yeah, Montpellier is a good team, I can admit that.

Bacha: That's why I said that Olympique Lyonnais, the mentality - honestly, there are few players who can walk on to this team and say they already have that mentality. [@/any team other than Lyon. A blood lust isn't innate. It's learned behavior.]

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Dabritz: We went to Austria for a Champions League game. Those are always special games for us. It's a particular game, playing the Champions League, those games are seen as the highest level.

[ST POLTEN - LYON PREGAME FOOTAGE]

Carpenter: Yeah, you never know really, when you go to other teams, other countries, how the pitch is going to be. Yeah, the pitch wasn't great. But we made the most of it and we had quite a good game.

Bacha: A stadium which was ... [Bacha laughs] It was a complicated game. No, playing on that pitch was complicated, it was a bit hard. But we started strong. We attacked from the start, even if we were starting to feel the tiredness. But we attacked from the start and were playing simple. And honestly, we were very efficient as well.

[ST POLTEN - LYON GAME FOOTAGE]

Dabritz: And yeah, we played a really good game, with a lot of goals and a really good performance from the entire team.

[ST POLTEN - LYON GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Bacha: [forcefully] We never underestimate a team. When you play simple and individually you're clean, technically you're clean, and you're all on the same wave length, honestly there are not - we're good.

[ST POLTEN - LYON GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: Getting players back from injury, it's always nice, especially when they're providing assists and scoring goals. That's even better.

[ST POLTEN - LYON GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Dabritz: Yeah, it was a good goal. [laughs] We really enjoyed ourselves on the field, we had nice combinations, we were explosive offensively. At least I think so. So we were really happy after the game.

[ST POLTEN - LYON GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

[TRAINING FOOTAGE / COUPE DE FRANCE LYON - FC NANTES FOOTAGE]

Bacha: Yeah, it wasn't an easy game because maybe in our heads, even if I think it's not really like that, but instinctively it's human nature and we underestimated them. FC Nantes came in with their game plan. They're a really good team, I was surprised. The first half was difficult. I think it's a little bit because exhaustion is starting to creep in. But the changes at half time did us some good and we were really efficient. The coach [Sonia Bompastor] yelled a bit at half time but it's normal. It's like that.

Carpenter: Yeah, I think fatigue comes into play there. I think it was our fifth or sixth game in a run. They were a different team, we hadn't really played them before. I think we can put that first half behind us and I think we really came out better in the second half. But yeah, I think we ended the game better than we started.

[LYON - FC NANTES GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: Yeah, it was so nice to see Delphine [Cascarino] make her return from her ACL. Obviously it's such a long rehab, such a long journey. It's tough to have an injury and go through something like that, and it's her second one as well. But I think she's done an amazing job. You can see in the way she's come back, she still has her speed, has her footwork.

Bacha: It was a really good moment for Delphine, the return against FC Nantes. We saw her struggle, her mentality is just incredible. It's really hard to have the ACL injury happen twice, to have missed the World Cup when we were expecting her, we wanted her there. Now she had the mentality, she dug deep. I'm really happy to see her back because it will really do us good.

[GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D / LYON - SLAVIA PRAGUE GAME FOOTAGE]

Carpenter: Yeah, we knew we were first in the group and obviously qualified, but we also knew we needed to put out a strong performance [they did not]. We wanted to keep the flow going for how well we're doing this month [of January]. On game day, obviously not everything went to plan. Obviously I think fatigue played a little bit in that as well, but that's not really an excuse. We should be better. We had 10,000 people come and you know, the more people that come the better, at least for us. We want to perform well, put on a show, for them to come back again.

Bacha: First of all we have to thank the fans who come out and support us. They're becoming more and more, so we need to thank them and for them to continue coming out and supporting us. After, it was hard because - well personally, I could feel the exhaustion. Then Slavia [Prague] was playing with a really low block. They came to get something at Lyon, even if we were already first and already qualified. At the end of the day we're Olympique Lyonnais. It's not acceptable to have played that sort of game.

LYON - SLAVIA PRAGUE GAME FOOTAGE CONT'D]

Carpenter: Yeah, it was very frustrating. I think games like that, you want to play the next game very quickly after so you can have a good reaction.

Dabritz: We were a little disappointed because we weren't happy with our performance. We wanted to show to the public that we can put on good performances, they came for us. That's why we were a bit disappointed. Beyond that, we want to continue, we always want to improve, progress. We always want to give our best. But it's not always possible.

Bacha: I'd rather it happened to us then than get to the quarterfinals and you're knocked out I hope it will serve as a lesson to us.

Carpenter: No team is perfect in the world. Some teams have draws or a loss and it's not the end of the world. I think we need to remind ourselves that we're also human as well. Not every game is the best game. January is probably the biggest month we've had in a long time. We knew we had a lot of games, we had to get points, play well, perform. I think as a team we did that great, especially as we have some injuries at the moment as well so we had to adapt. I think the team has held up well. We're ready for February.

#all good love stories start in the rain #ellie carpenter #selma bacha #damaris #damaris egurrola #sara dabritz #amel majri #nah but really #let's TALK about Lyon's eyes and how they change. you really have to watch them play regularly to understand it #and there's a part of you that's like 'shit. do my eyes change too?'#and the answer to that is: which answer would scare you more #that your eyes can change or that they don't

arabella Pt. 2 - i couldn’t be more in love

masterlist

after the night out you go back and the night gets a bit smutty with alex

warnings: err smut and smoking if there is anymore please let me know and I will add them to this list.

"That does sound like a good ideaaaa" I start "There's a but coming isn't there?" "Yes. look I would love to but when these lot" gesturing with my free hand that wasn't attached to Alex. "Get plastered, you can't leave them alone I have to babysit them otherwise Matty will try some dumb shit, George will enable that dumb shit and Ross will just fall asleep, and there won't be anyone who's slightly sober to control them," I state remembering the times we've all got plastered and I wasn't there to clean up after their dumb mishaps.

Alex starts to groan from beside me "Look please, I get that they're all your best mates and all. But you could have a great time just for one night." I start to think it over and come up with a compromise. "okay how about this, we all go back, knowing them they'll be out like a light as soon as their heads hit a pillow. In deep sleep. They can take the spare bedroom they always do. and we're left with the night to ourselves." I finish ranting, then Alex starts up again. "That sounds like a great idea"

We all approach my flat pretty quickly. Everyone was silent as we approached it and walked up the stairs only resuming our talking after my front door. Meowing soon being heard "Caroline" Matty ushered her over, to which she came. Matty looking back at you while stroking her and Alex and gesturing to the cat with his head eyebrows raised as if to say "Look she is mine". I snarled at him while Alex just chuckled at our interaction finding it funny.

soon enough everyone was sat down with Alex residing on the armchair placed in the corner in front of the little window displaying my kitchen George and Ross on the sofa facing the tv but not actually watching what was on the tv (because it was turned off) Matty sat on the floor stroking my cat.

I however was in my bedroom getting out of my clothes putting on lingerie but putting a dressing gown over the top so it didn't look too suspicious, to everyone in the room.

"Can I get you a drink?" I asked Alex, returning from my bedroom. "uh yeah I'll have pepsi max please" Matty said in reply "Not you ratty, I wasn't asking you I was asking Alex, fuck you very much you know where the Pepsi is, get it yourself" Matty sighed standing up from the floor putting his hands up walking into the kitchen. "no thanks y/n I'm grand." Alex said in reply to me. "suit yourself, you would be missing out on the killer juice that she makes" George starts rolling off

"y/n/n can I have a juice please," George asks. "I would make you one Georgie but it's too late to start the machine and it would wake Ms. Lambert next door she's old and fragile and needs her rest. I'll make you one in the morning George, how about that?" I state "Okay. I'd like that. be a nice hangover cure" "I second that y/n I'd like one in the morning too" Ross finally puts in. "okay anyone else?" Matty raises his hand "Of course you would. don't worry I'll make you all one, Alex you too, but I think it's time for those who are absolutely gone to go to bed the spare rooms are all set up for when you last slept here, Alex you can have the sofa if you want" "but I tho-" I give him a look as to say just go along with it "yeah that'd be great thanks"

soon the whole flat was in chaos. people coming in and out of the bathroom getting themselves sorted. and soon enough it was quiet. I went to go open the spare bedroom door to check whether the 3 men were asleep. and sure enough, I heard snoring. Going back out to where Alex now sat on the sofa in the middle.

I walked over to him straddling his lap and started kissing him furiously with passion and hunger soon pulling back for some air but not before he caught my lip in his teeth biting on it and then letting it go bouncing back to its original place. I then start to move my lips placing kisses along him starting at his jaw and slowly moving down biting a few times here and there. finally reaching his collarbone where his black t-shirt lay, I tugged it saying "This needs to go" He nodded rather quickly agreeing and tossing it to the other side of the sofa.

I then went back to kissing his chest slowly going working my way down to his navel before I start to undo his jeans slowly kissing his stomach while I peel them down a moan then comes from Alex's mouth ensuring a "y/n quick I'm on the edge" which earns a reply from me "all in good time Alex, all in good time honey" earning, a groan from his mouth.

I then do him a good favor by discarding his jeans and pulling down his boxers soon after showing his erection springing up soon I then lick along his base working my way up to his tip and licking the pre-cum off before taking his whole dick in my mouth moving it up and down, not gagging really proud of myself for that, soon earning a moan from Alex after hollowing my cheeks while moving my head up and down. "Y/n I'm close do something". so I swirled my tongue around him while looking up at him and soon I felt hot spurts go down my throat. swallowing every last bit.

I soon started to work my way back up kissing from Alex's crotch then to his navel up to his chest up his neck to his jaw to his cheek to his lips which then resulted in us in another hot passionate kiss before I started to straddle him again. Alex soon found the tie on my dressing gown and undid it and soon enough my hands left his neck so I could let the robe drop. he then left the kiss sat back and took a few seconds before he burst out "I think we should take this to the bedroom" I nodded in agreement.

his hands went to my bum and picked me up and carried me through the house with me guiding him soon enough we reached my bedroom him using his foot to open the door and he walked backward until the backs of his knees reached the bed turning us around before he placed me on the bed.

He hovered over me placing chaste kisses down my body until he reached my boob his hands found their way to my back managing to undo my bra and pulling it off me and throwing it somewhere around the room not to be cared of right now. He continued kissing my breast biting and sucking here and there. he then placed a chaste kiss again over the newly made purple mark.

he then placed chaste kisses down my body before reaching the bottom of my stomach just above where my thong lay, he then soon pulled that down and I helped discard it kicking it off my legs. he then started kissing down to where my clit was then placing a lick down my slit before finding my hole with his fingers and my clit with his tongue working together and within minutes the momentum he worked up had me releasing straight onto his fingers.

he then placed another kiss on my clit then on the outside and onto my thigh working his way back up my body again before finally placing one on my lips (this one was a bit deeper and more passionate than the others he placed a few seconds ago on my body). I could feel him going rock hard. then pulling away from me and whispering

"I need to do something about this" "Okay" I whispered back quickly turning back to my bedside table and whipping out a condom passing it to him and he put it on. and slowly but surely, he was soon lined up with my entrance and inserting himself slowly at first but my moans spurred him on to go faster both our highs soon approaching, and then finishing and disregarding the condom. Alex flipped over and laid down. we stayed like that for a few minutes before he piped up again

"come ride my face darling" and so I complied making my way up to his face with me straddling it and soon enough he was licking all throughout me. Darting his tongue in and out of me. And soon enough I was releasing again. But this time all over Alex's face.

I then went back to laying beside him cuddled up and we stayed like that all throughout the night except...I couldn't fall asleep. so I left my room in search of my dressing gown, soon finding it laying on the ground by the sofas, along with Alex's belongings which I folded up and bought to him but not before putting my dressing gown on. I then went in search of my bag which was in its usual place on the other side of the bed on the floor. I soon retrieved it taking it outside on the fire escape.

"oh!" being frightened by Matty residing there smoking a fag "What are you doing here?" I asked "Couldn't sleep too wide awake with all you OH ALEX! RIGHT THERE! YEAH! AGAIN AGAIN!" "oh piss off will you sometimes a girl needs to be pleasured," I say in reply to Matty pulling an organic cigarette out of my bag and going to light it looking up remembering that Matty had it. soon quickly finishing it off with a "Was I really that loud?" question wanting to find out from my best friend. "nah you weren't that bad to be fair I woke up to you moving to your room and all I could hear was the bed noises I then went up to get a drink and stopped right outside your door to see if you wanted one too turns out you were busy" "ohhh! nice to know I can be quiet" I state with seriousness lacing my words.

"aha yeah, I suppose so. Dunno if I would though. too hard to comprise my moans, George adam and Ross certainly know how much sex I have through the walls of our shared apartment" Matty says finishing it off with a half-hearted laugh. "all right bug, make sure you get some sleep don't want you flipping everyone off tomorrow, you're unbearable when you're running on four hours sleep" matty says coming over giving me a hug and kissing my temple and rubbing my back, the hug not lasting longer than 2 minutes but it was a well needed one between the two of us.

-MATTYS P.O.V-

Making my way back to y/n's spare bedroom after meeting each other at the windowsill, I sighed, I definitely shouldn't feel this way about her but I just do, it's not like she is forbidden but the guys and I made a pact when I was 13 that none of us would go for y/n she was off limits it was never in question that any of us would date her, especially after the fact that all of us had massive crushes on her in '02 but none of us acted on it, it would simply ruin our friendship dynamic.

entering the bedroom seeing George and Ross passed out on the bed it looked like the sofa was my only option, I would usually go into y/n's bed on a night like this but that's currently occupied . then my eye catches it, the blow-up bed y/n and I bought on a whim in case we decided that we wanted to throw a party and we had one extra guest. I grab the box and start letting it self inflate. unfortunately, this wakes up George "Matty what are you doing? its" he says pausing mid-sentence to grab his phone to check the time "Half 4 in the morning go to sleep. why are you still up anyways"

"saw y/n on the fire escape when I went out for a fag because I couldn't sleep. now I can't sleep because of her George, she's so pretty. Sometimes I wish I could just be with her." "I know you do Matty but you know the deal we made and you know us we never break pacts." It's true we've all never broken a pact, y/n included. the one we made when we were 16 when we vowed to never smoke weed without each other, that came after y/n experienced a terrible high with her ex Jonathan, safe to say he got a punching from George while y/n was with me. She never smoked without one of us again.

"look all I'm trying to say George is that maybe we should go over some of the pacts we made and see if some of them need rediscussing or not" "Look just get some sleep matty, we all need rest, lets discuss this better when we're actually not delusional" the bed being well inflated by now I hug George goodnight retrieving a blanket from the pile of junk on one side of the room. and getting some well-deserved rest.

To celebrate the NaruHinaWedding event, I wrote a drabble about a conversation between Boruto, Himawari and Hinata. They are asking about Hinata's love life. The anime displayed a scene of Hinata reminiscing about her love life. From a crush to someone qualified enough to support Naruto. In this drabble, I want to elaborate more into details about her feelings and the lessons she learned in pursuit of happiness.

"I'm home!" Boruto shouted as he ran his way to the living room.

"Mum, I'm hungry! What's for dinner?" He asks.

"Sit down. Wash your hands first or you won't have dinner. I've roasted chicken mixed with black pepper and corn soup."

"Yay! Where is Hima?" Boruto enquires, as he washes his hand at the sink.

"I'm here! I've just finished my mission with Yuina and Ehou!" Himawari helps her mother to put the dishes into some bowls as soon as she arrives.

"Eh... new mission, huh? What did you do Hima? I bet it's a mission about finding missing cat, cleaning the chickens' coops or guiding a VIP's safety..." Boruto displays his bored face while belittling his sister's mission. He used to complain the missions he got and this laid back personality of his also led to him in trouble.

"Nope. None of those. It's a mission to find rare herbs; Matucoldi. It is actually a mission requested by aunt Sakura and she chose our team because of our ability. Well, to be honest I didn't know why she chose me as a temporary team leader at first. I know Yuina is a knowledgeable student. She studied a lot about herbs and animals. Her resourcefulness helped us a lot. Ehou, on the other hand acted without thinking sometimes but he is great in combat. As for me... I cannot really control my Byakugan yet and my taijutsu isn't as great as Ehou. During the mission, I realised that one of my redeeming qualities is my quick thinking which coincides with the situation and the spirit to never give up. We managed to retrieve the herbs successfully in the end. Of course, we needed to involve ourselves in a fight but with teamwork, we did it!"

"Wow.. Hima, looks like you're going to be a cool shinobi just like me!" Boruto laughs, after listening to Himawari's detailed explanation regarding her mission.

"Hey! I don't want to be like you, onii-chan. You always made other people worry and you never communicate your inner feelings. I'm going to be someone honest in the future and that includes taking care of you!"

"Hey! I'm the big one here. I was born first. I am supposed to be the one who protects you!" Boruto rebutts Himawari's statements.

"Hush.. hush! Okay, stop it. Stop the fight or you both won't be having dinner." Hinata puts down a big bowl of corn soup on the table and look at her children with a scary expression.

"Ok.. okay.." Botg Himawari and Boruto reply in unison.

Hinata laughs and sit next to Himawari.

"You know what, mum.. sometimes I wonder how dad is able to marry you. I mean.. you could've find better men out there. You cooked all these delicious dishes only for him to rush back to the Hokage's office again," Boruto conplained.

"But, he did... came home right? He tried his best to be a great father for both of you. He always tried his best, despite working for the village. Without him, we won't be living peacefully now. He even tried to be an inspiring figure for Kawaki. Speaking of him.. where is he?"

"Well, he said he had something to deal with. I don't know. For me, dinner is more important. I'll find out sooner or later anyway," Boruto responds.

"Mama! We want to listen your story before you meet papa! You refused to tell us before!" Himawari looks at her mother with an eager expression.

"Er, well.. I've told you before about how clumsy and rash he was before, right? Your father is still the same old him even after having 2 children. I always liked him in secrecy. Once, I tried to release the chakra draining rods from him even after beaten up by Pain. Pain is one of the akatsuki members, by the way. You learned that in your school right?"

"Akat.. akatsuki? The same Pain who destroyed Konoha? I've learned it before during class.. and we had that particular moment described in our text book. There's a girl mentioned in the text book. The one who tried to save the Hokage.. but I didn't know it was you, mum! Wow! Why didn't you let your name known in the text book? I could've boasted about it!" Boruto proudly shows his enthusiasm about the new fact he acknowledged.

Hinata chuckles. "No. I prefer a quiet life. I don't really care about fame and being a legend. To me, being happy is enough. Taking care of my kids is enough. Supporting my husband is enough. I don't need more in life. Your father nearly gave up his ninja way when we were in the middle of war. However, I managed to gain his strength. Even when my beloved cousin who's like a brother to me, Neji passed away at that time, I tried to calm myself down. As a shinobi, you can never express your emotions willingly. Yes, it's hard but that's the reason why it is important to be strong not just by physical but also by heart. After the war, we visited each other's house. He would ask for my help because he needed to study more if he wants to become a Hokage. Sometimes, I brought food. Did you know that he was once an avid hater of vegetables? Well, it takes an impressive cooking skill to mesh the vegetables well with meats so that the taste will become delectable."

Boruto and Himawari look at their mother's loving facade. She has a soft expression whenever she reminisces about her past life. She looks like a maiden in love, not someone who was married and gave birth to 2 kids.

Hinata continues to describe her love life. " I learned so much from your father. He taught me to grow in my own pace and be brave, despite what the circumstances are. We became closer without even noticing it. Sometimes, we trained together. There were rumours circulating that we were in a relationship but we ignored it. Your father was too dense about love and at that time, I'm sure he thought of me as a friend. Not more. I was still a bit timid even after war because the idea of being in a relationship with your crush is too good to be true. So in the end, we just led a life without even acknowledging our feelings.

Then, years passed by and we're finally 18. A lot of things changed. Your aunt, Hanabi was kidnapped by a descendant of Hamura Otsusuki. He needed the byakugan to acquire the Tenseigan created from his ancestors' sealed eyes. He proposed me so I had to accept it in order to save Hanabi. Your father was utterly heart-broken upon knowing it and I did try to explain just for a while but my I believed he could manage himself. He's a strong shinobi who used to lead the war. My goal at that time was to save your aunt. She's still a child. Long story short, we managed to defeat Toneri. Your father was super romantic when he finally understood his feelings for me. With one hand, he released a big rasengan and flew under the moon's silhouette. Well, after that.. I couldn't tell you."

"What? You kissed don't you? Papa kissed mama!" Himawari teased her mother.

"Woah really? I didn't know dad can be so romantic! He's a fool for not being able to know his true feelings." Boruto laughs.

"It's not his fault. He was alone for so many years. He worked hard to gain acknowledgement from other villagers. He didn't have anyone to talk to him about this matter. As for me, I'm happy if he's happy. I did get jealous once, when he was popular with the girls due to his popularity. I thought the scarf given to him was from one of the girls so I hid the scarf I've knitted for him. It turns out that it was actually from his mother. In a way, I was in the wrong too. We both are. Being in a relationship means that both of us stand in an equal footing. We vowed to cherish each other through thick and thin. To support each other and to communicate our inner feelings. No more skirting lies while leaving the truths half-told."

"Aww.. I want to have a beautiful love story like mama too, when I grow up later.. but so far I don't like anyone in class..." Himawari gushes her mother's love tale while gazing at her mother's embarrassed face.

"Heh.. I don't know if I will ever get married.. I want to enjoy my single life to eternity.. but having someone who can understand you for who you are is rare..." Boruto's eyes narrow with such focus, as if thinking about someone who could match his description.

"I'm home!" Naruto's voice can be heard at the door.

Boruto and Himawari run and hug him instantly.

"Okay.. what happen?" Naruto is confused.

"Dad.. you're a cool guy huh?" Boruto teased him.

"Daddy! You are so sweet!" Himawari joins her brother.

"What? What's going on? Hinata, what's going on? Did something peculiar happen?" Naruto tries to ask for explanation but Hinata refuses to look him in the eye.

"No... Nothing happened! Any.. anyway, why did you get home so soon?" Hinata helps her husband to untie the Hokage robe.

Naruto is puzzled. "I thought you like it when I'm home?"

Hinata is speechless. Usually, she won't be flustered as she was used to her role as a wife but somehow, the prior engagement with her children makes her embarrassed. She regrets expressing her love towards her husband in front of her children. Pretty sure they're going to tease her further.

"Well, anyway... do you know that there's a new record for ramen eating competition? I did it! I managed to defeat your past record!"

Shocked, Hinata scrutinizes her eyes. "What? How? You never managed to defeat me before! Did you cheat?"

"Hey, I didn't cheat okay? Well, it won't make me a real man if you always win. Did you still remember your promise if I win?"

"Hima.. is this really our "cool" father? Why is he being childish all the time." Boruto asks, with an incredulous look on his face.

"I'm pretty sure it's just papa being papa. He never shows this side of him in front of other villagers. He usually brings out his inner child when he's with mama."

"I.. of course I remember. I promised to accompany you on a date to an expensive restaurant. That was ages ago! You're a rich man now." Hinata laughs, as she remembers her promise to Naruto.

"It'll just be the 2 of us. No kids allowed."

"Okay. Okay. Gosh, you're so funny, Naruto-kun."

"I'm curious though. What were you talking about just now?" Naruto asks.

Hinata tries to suppress her embarrassment by controlling her face expression. "Huh.. nothing okay? I was just talking about how cool you were when you brought me to the moon. There, happy now?"

It was Naruto's turn to be embarrassed. "What kind of conversation was that? You shouldn't tell the about that. It's not fair!"

"Well, I did say that I was so in love with you. It's fair." Hinata fights back.

"I'm home..."

All of them look at the owner's voice. Turns out, it's Kawaki. Kawaki is confused at the weird atmosphere as he walks into the dining room.

"Dinner is served and you guys aren't eating? The food is going to get cold. What happen? Why do you have that ugly and strange grin on your face Boruto?"

"Ugly you say? You're the ugly one! Wanna fight?" Boruto stands up.

"Hush! Okay, okay. Let's eat now. Kawaki, wash your hands first. Honey, as a punishment you must massage my shoulders tonight."

Naruto almost faint when he heard that Hinata called him "honey". She only said that when both of them are not in front of their kids. Looks like he can never win the war with his own wife.

A Place to Stay?

Daryl Dixon x fem!Reader

Summary: Alexandria. A new chance for the group to finally settle down. The people there seem kind and everything looks safe - but is it a place to stay? You'd answer that question with a yes. Would Daryl?

Set in Season Five

Warnings: Uhh... bit of the usual TWD stuff... fluff... suggestive smut, if you squint

Word Count: 3k

a/n: So... This one has a lot dialogue in it, I'm sorry, but I'm still trying to get in line with the characters. Still testing out Daryl and the others. 🙈😊 I hope that fic is not too awful... 🙈 Also, I am still watching TWD. 🙈 Started to watch season six now, so please forgive me for any lack of knowledge. 🙈

Alexandria was a beautiful place to stay - without a doubt. The people seemed friendly, the system trustworthy and the safety guaranteed. Nevertheless, we were still cautious. Especially after all we've been through... Appearances were often deceptive – how we learned. Mostly in a painful way.

Deanna gave us the opportunity to stay in two of the countless fancy mansions, but Rick decided that we'd sleep all in one house together that night and not split up. Just in case. You never knew… I really hoped, that we could find a home here. I had nothing against being out there, on the road... But we all needed a break. We all deserved a break. To sleep not with one eye open at night for once. And oh, what would I give for a quiet night alone with Daryl, in which we wouldn't need look out for walkers – or other unwanted guests. Just the two of us and the love we were sharing. A dreamy sigh left my lips at that thought. The last time we had such a night was all those months ago in the prison. We had sneaked out one night after dinner and digged ourselves in one of the guard towers - only to get caught by Rick the next morning, but it was worth it. Even if it was a bit of an embarrassing situation... Rick swore to keep our secret - and he did. Then the prison fell, I got separated from Daryl, everything seemed to go down the drain - until I met him and the others again in Terminus, where we all got almost killed, but well. Was nothing new, eh? We survived - and now we were here. Hopefully for a longer time.

I was on the porch of our mansion, seated on the wooden stairs, as Rick stepped out of the door. My eyes widened when I saw him. "Woah! Who are you and what did you do to Rick?" I joked, referring to his now shaved beard, trimmed hair and clean look. The man just shook his head and smiled. "I dunno. I asked myself the same question, as I looked in that mirror." I giggled at his words, "But it fits you. Lookin' so much better now." and stood up. "Imma go for a shower now as well. Don't tell Daryl I said that." I said, winking. "Don't tell me wha'?" The man of the hour sauntered of course in that exact moment out of the door and towards us - a sceptical look on his face. "Nothin' important, Daryl. Y/N just said, I look better without the beard." Daryl looked immediately at me. "Is that so?" I rolled my eyes, but smiled. He could be so childishly jealous sometimes... "Mhm. Less like a stray dog and more like a puppy again." "Pfft." Huffed out Rick with a laugh. "Gee, thanks." I laughed too, before I turned to Daryl, side-hugging him. The former policeman took that as his cue to leave - what he did; disappearing inside the mansion again. "I am goin' for a shower now." I started, biting my lip, before I stood on my tiptoes to whisper in his ear. "Wanna join me?" I asked, placing a small kiss on his stubble covered cheek. "You could use a shower too, ya know." But Daryl shook his head. "Would be quite a bit suspicious, if we both jus' vanish upstairs in the bathroom, eh?" I shrugged my shoulders, giving him a smug smirk. "We could just sneak upstairs." Once again the man shook his head. "Nah, 'm fine." A pout spread over my lips, trying to convince Daryl to join me - but it didn't help. He didn't budge. "Fine..." I said, letting go of him again. "Then not. Your loss. I'm not the one, missin' out somethin'... You are, baby." With those words and a last kiss on his cheek, I left Daryl standing there, before he could even say something. I went back inside the mansion. "I am going for a shower, guys!" I called into the open living room, before I vanished upstairs.

As soon as the warm water jet of the showerhead beat down on my exposed body, joyous, breathless laughter left my lips. It's been so long since I lastly stood underneath a freaking shower. I let the water rain down on me, wetting my tousled Y/H/C hair and dirty skin of my body. I enjoyed every second of my shower. Although, I was still hoping Daryl would join me - what didn't happen in the end, but well... After I was finished and dry again, I slipped in fresh clothes, then went down again to join the others. It felt like heaven. I was clean, had something to eat and drink, a roof over my head and was united with all the different, crazy and loveable people who became my family through the world's downfall. But most importantly, I was safe and had Daryl by my side. What would I need more?

I sat down on the sofa, joining the others in their conversations for a while. Of course, I had noticed immediately, that Daryl was missing - yet again, but didn't think much about it. He was a big boy and could roam the streets alone. That was what he was most likely doing - or he was out, hunting. I was not worried in the slightest. Not here.

When the moon had replaced the sun and it had gotten dark and very late, the whole group laid spread out in the whole living room, sleeping on the floor on mattresses and/or blankets. I had settled in the top left corner, gaze directed on the passage to the hallway. Everybody around me was fast asleep; snores could be heard from a few. Abraham, for example. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. Daryl still wasn't back and so slowly I got worried for real. I already thought about going out and searching for him, but it was way too dark and probably too risky alone - despite that we were in Alexandria now. Walkers weren't the only thing you've got to fear these days... The minutes ticked by and I just stared at the wall of the hallway. Just before I was about to change my mind and really go out to look for him, I heard the soft squeak of the front door, followed by quiet footsteps. My hand reached for my dagger immediately, preparing myself to defend the group, in case it was not the man I hoped for. But when the intruder turned around the corner with a faint flashlight pinched between his lips, I could clearly see that it was, indeed, Daryl. A relieved breath left my lips. Not just because it wasn't a strange person... "Daryl!" I whisper-shouted, not to wake the others. "Over here!" His head turned towards me, before he tiptoed over to me, getting rid of his crossbow and vest on the way. He knelt down beside me, turning off the small flashlight, before he flopped on the empty space beside me. I couldn't help myself but to cuddle close to him. I pressed my back against his chest, entangled our legs, while Daryl wrapped a strong arm around me, pinning me against him. "Where have you been so long, baby?" I felt him shrugging his shoulders. "Jus' outside, huntin' a few squirrels." I huffed. "You could've told me, ya know. I got worried..." His lips ghosted over my exposed neck, leaving a gentle kiss there. He got much more affectionate through the months. "M sorry, Y/N. Gonna tell ya next time, promise." I nodded, pulling him closer. "Alright." We went silent for a moment, enjoying each other's company. "You know you need to move over soon, if we don't want the others to find out?" "Mhm, jus' another minute." The minute turned almost into an hour. I was on the verge of sleeping in, when I finally felt him move him away from me - much to my dismay, but well...

The next days flew by quickly. Some of us got a job from Deanna and started to accustomate a bit to the new environment we were in, others were still struggling. Daryl was one of them. I noticed how he isolated himself quite a bit. He was barely talking to us and the other people here. He spent the most of the day on the streets and outside the walls. I felt his struggle. It wasn't easy for him to get used to what we suddenly had… Deanna had thrown a welcome party for us, on which he also stayed away. After almost a week, I decided to talk with him; find out what exactly was on his mind.

I knew he was outside, so I asked the doorman to open the main gate for me - which he did, of course, letting me out. I checked on my daggers and strapped my gun on my cargo pants, before I went to search for him. Good thing he taught me how to track. But what he apparently didn't think of, was that I was also able to track him now as well…

I saw him walking through the thicket of the forest, crossbow in hands and a string with squirrels slung over his shoulder. How long had he been out here already? I quietly followed him further, giggling to myself at the little game I played - okay... Tried to play. "Ya ain't good at followin' people, Y/N." He suddenly said with his back still turned towards me, causing me to pout. How the hell did he notice? I didn't make a peep! With a grin on his lips he stopped and turned to face me. Well... The tree I was now 'hiding' behind. "I can see ya." "Ugh, that's not fair." I stated and left my 'hiding' place, crossing my arms over my chest. "Why are you so good at this, huh?" Daryl just shrugged his shoulders. "Cause I am." I huffed, but smiled. "At least I can track you and not have to follow you secretly." "Yeah and that's the moment I regret, teachin' ya... You shouldn't be out 'ere alone." I nodded into his direction. "You neither." The man rolled his eyes and scoffed. "I can look after myself." "And I cannot?" "Didn't say that. 'S jus'... I don't want ya out 'ere alone." I stepped closer to him with a smile, "Well, lucky for you, that I found ya." and placed a small kiss on his lips. "Now c'mon. There's space for a few more squirrels on that string."

After successfully hunting another few squirrels and getting rid of some walkers, we made our way back towards the safe walls of Alexandria - and that was the moment, where I decided to speak with him.

"Daryl, you okay?" He nodded. "Course. Why shouldn't I?" I took a deep breath. "Cause I can feel that you are not..." Daryl shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno what ya mean." "Oh yes, you know exactly what I mean. When are you finally going to learn, Mr. Dixon, that talking to me is better for yourself, than just pretending everything's alright? You can maybe fool the others... But you can't fool me." A defeated sigh left his lips. "Ya gonna be the death of me, woman." I had to giggle at his words. "Careful what ya wish for. I don't intend to lose you." He shook his head, "Ya won't lose me." and paused for a moment. "S jus'... I dunno... I am not the type to settle down in a fuckin' mansion. I feel... caged. Ya know wha' I mean? Gotta be rather out 'ere, than pretend everythin's fine in there. 'S not." I nodded, understood of course what he meant - and I certainly couldn't blame him. He never was the type of just sitting around. "I know what ya mean." "Yeah?" "Yeah... And I can understand it. Trappin' you inside a house, would be like trappin' a lion in a cage. Doesn't work. You gotta be out there. You're made for this. I know that..." I paused for a second. "Doesn't mean I like it, though." I added, voice barely above a whisper. Daryl suddenly stopped in his motions; his hand on mine held me back from walking on as well. I immediately turned to face him - and saw the love inside the depths of his brown eyes. "I know that ya don't like it. I know you'd like me to stay inside those damn walls... But-" "You can't." I gave him a soft smile and squeezed his hand. "We all have our jobs to do - and this one's yours." He nodded, swallowing, "Bout that... I wanted to talk with ya anyway..." before he gently dragged me with him. "Aaron gave me a bike." "A bike?" "Yeah." "But that's great! A bike is exactly the thing you need, isn't it?" I smiled, were truly happy for him. "And… he wants me to replace Eric. Asked me to go out with him, recruitin' new people." I breathed out a small laugh at his words. "Of course, Aaron would ask you. Who else? If someone can do that, it's you." "Really? Ya think tha'?" I nodded. "Yes. You are a tracker - a pretty good one at that. And you can see the difference between good and bad people." "Aaron said that, too." "See?" I giggled, "So... You ain't mad at me, if I'd go out with Aaron?" and shook my head immediately. "Nah." We both stopped, when we saw that the big walls of Alexandria came in sight. "If that is what you want, sure, baby. As long as you promise me to come back to me - in one piece and unharmed." Daryl scoffed. "Of course, Y/N. Told ya before... I'll always come back for ya - no matter where ya are." I smiled at the man in front of me and wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him close. "I love you, Daryl Dixon. Remember that." "How could I not, eh?" Daryl asked, brushing a strand of Y/H/C hair out of my face. "Ain't forgettin' my girl. Ya know I love ya, too." A smile played upon my lips, when stood on my tiptoes and kissed him, pouring all the love flowing through my veins in the kiss - and it didn't just stay at one kiss...

"When are you and Aaron leavin'?" I asked, panting and out of breath with kiss swollen lips. "As soon as possible. Guess in a few hours or so." What? In a few hours or so? My jaw dropped. "Already? And you're tellin' me now? Daryl!" "M sorry... Didn't know how to tell ya..." Typical. "You don't even stay another night? Damn... I was so lookin' forward to spend a night with ya in privacy." I said, pouting at him. "I know, Y/N... 'M sorry. As soon as I'm back, promise." I sighed, but smiled softly. "Alright. I think I can live with that." I kissed him once again, before I let slowly go of him. "Take care of ya, while I'm away, yeah?" "Of course. You too." Daryl nodded. "And if that lil' boy makes a move on ya, I'm goin' to beat his ass into the ground." I frowned at his words. "You mean Spencer?" "Yeah. Saw him lookin' yer way." I couldn't help but giggle. "Why take a boy, when I can have a man." I winked at Daryl and kissed him a last time, before I turned around to leave. "I'll head inside now, before I change my mind and try to convince you to stay." With those words, I walked to the gate and left Daryl behind.

I didn't say him goodbye that day before he left. I never did.

Now, I found myself once again sitting on the porch of the mansion, when I saw Maggie heading my way - with a stupid grin on her face. That meant nothing good... "Ugh, I know that smile. What is it?" Maggie sat down beside me, still grinning from ear to ear. "So... How long is this goin' on now?" An uneasy feeling started to spread throughout my body at her question. I hoped she didn't mean what I feared she mean… Could she...? Did she...? "How long is what goin' on?" Maggie shook her head. "Don't act innocent now, Y/N. I saw you 'n Daryl." I almost choked on her words. "You... What?! When?! How?!" She giggled. "And you just admit it." At her words, realisation dawned on me. I did. "Shit." Maggie giggled again. I liked that girl a lot. She became definitely one of my closest friends. "So?" "When did you see us?" "Few hours ago. I was on the guard tower, lookin' for Sasha, but she wasn't there. That's when I saw ya two - and it looked pretty obvious to me. I couldn't believe my eyes at first. I mean - no offence - but, Daryl and a woman?" I couldn't suppress the small laugh when I heard Maggie say that. "You rather mean Daryl and love." Her eyes widened. "So this is somethin' serious between ya two?" I nodded, smiling. There was no way to deny it any longer anyway, so why should I lie to Maggie? "Yeah, I'd definitely say so. There was always somethin' between us. Since the day we met. We somehow just got together then at some point. I think when we were on your farm." Maggie smile again. This time, it was a honest, happy smile. "Ohh, but that's wonderful. I'm happy for you 'n Daryl. You both deserve this." "Thank you." We smiled at each other. "But please don't tell the others." She nodded. "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." Secret... It hardly wasn't a secret anymore, was it?

a/n: Should Daryl kick Spencer's ass in a second part? 🤔

Dear Stanford Pines.

Remember your brother Stanley was running for office as a candidate for mayor? If you were selected as candidate instead, what do you think about what could have happened?

Stanford: I have always despised politics and politicians. They all need truth teeth permanently installed in their mouths, if you ask me. But if I hadn't been so busy trying to fix the rift problem last summer, I would have run for office, as well. Gravity Falls has been a good town to me, and after the chaos my work has brought upon it, it would have been an honor to make up for my mistakes as its most humble servant.

I would have focused on protecting both the people and the supernatural from each other, and the outside world. I would have given greater funding to the schools and library. I would remove every symbol of Bill Cipher around the town.

And most importantly, I’d have had statues erected of both Fiddleford and my brother as town and world heroes, right in the center of main street. Of course, it wouldn’t have said anything about what they did specifically - hence the ‘Never Mind All That’ act - but history should never forget them.

Stanley: I'm still a little upset that my criminal record got me canned as mayor. Yeesh, as if tons of other politicians have never done any crime! Hell, most of 'em still do it while they're in office! So what if I've got mob ties? So what if I've smuggled pugs and spent some nights in the big house? What matters is that my heart is big, and it's always in the right place. Also, an eagle kissed me. Can any other politician say that? No. Didn't think so.

Stanford: Actually, now that I think of it... you probably would have made a great mayor, Stan.

Stanley: What, you really think so?

Stanford: Of course! Remember when we got stuck on that Caribbean island after the Stan-O’-War II had run into rocks?

Stanley: Oh man, the one with that freak who hunted humans, right?

Stanford: Yes. We wouldn’t have survived without you!

Stanley: *His cheeks flush a little pink.* Oh, well... what can I say? All I did was convince the other people gettin’ hunted with us that turnin’ on each other was crap, and we should focus our efforts on the jerk in the mansion that put us there in the first place. I mean, why direct your anger at other people who had nothin’ to do with why you’re stuck somewhere bad? Why not direct it at the schmuck who actually needs his clock cleaned?

Stanford: By the end of the night, you were in that hunter’s chair in his expensive estate, smoking his pipe by his fireplace-

Stanley: Most expensive tobacco I ever had the pleasure of puffin’.

Stanford: And afterwards, you convinced the others to help everyone fix each other’s boats and share supplies so that we could all get off that cursed island.

Stanley: Heh, that was nothin’! ‘Sides, I did his belongings a favor. Man wasn’t classy enough to live in a place that nice with stuff that fancy. I was just sad we had to leave it. I love the Stan-O’-War, don’t get me wrong. But a mansion on a Caribbean island? Sure was cozy.

Stanford: That was ingenious, charismatic, righteous leadership, Stan. See what I mean? A perfect mayor.

Stanley: Aw, well... honestly, the only way I’d ever run for anything ever again is if you were my running mate. Forget bein’ a mayor! Just think if we were president and vice president? I’d do the talkin’, and you’d do the thinkin’. We’d be unstoppable! And we’d legalize mostly everything! Pines and Pines 2024.

Stanford: And give NASA a way bigger budget!

Stanley: And redecorate the White House with sad clown paintings!

Stanford: And don’t forget, we’d-

Stanley: Hah! I know exactly what you’re gonna say, Ford. Hold on, wait.

*They both give each other a knowing look. It’s one of those rare, nearly twin telepathy moments.*

Stanley and Stanford: Declare ourselves the official Kings of New Jersey!

*They both erupt into laughter.*

Stanley: Also, I’d make Congress duke it out in boxing matches on the House and Senate floors. And broadcast it on live TV! Teddy would be so proud!

Stanford: Do you think they’d let me get my official portrait painted with me flipping my two middle fingers?

#gravity falls #askthestans #stanley pines #stanford pines #yo actually I'd vote for the Stans #I think Stan would be president and Ford vice president #Pines and Pines 2024 #stan is the most dangerous game

Next time it shrieks I shall bake the thing.

Would you mind putting me back down.

You call that an attack?

Perhaps you might set me down, moonmind!

Isn't a broom good enough?

Oh, I'm just out and about. Riding a Graphorn.'

Riding a Hippogriff's all well and good till it throws you.

When is _ going to learn to stay away from the Restricted Section?

Striking up a friendship with , are we?

Why would you want to spend so much time with ? Do you feel sorry for him?

I'm still struggling with antidotes. Startling to me that so many of them use Mandrakes. I'll be sure never to go into that line of work.

That reminds me, did say we could borrow the book overnight, or that we'd get detention if we had it out overnight?

The people I feel sorry for are the ones who don't receive any owls, poor things. Have you seen their little faces at the table?

If anyone needs help with an essay or assignment, I don't mind lending a hand. I wrote two inches for Binns yesterday while I was eating my lunch.

That poor first-year trying to get into the Gryffindor common room. I swear the Fat Lady was having them on. Poor thing had to wait till next day.

Someone was trying to come up with some sort of pepper hex the other day.

I like to keep a bit of Wiggenweld Potion under my bed. Not naming names, but someone's bought a few too many tricks from Zonko's.

Try working with a wand that's been passed down from three unruly sisters.

Well, my father naturally assumed I'd be a strong Seeker, just like him.

Thank Merlin Quidditch was cancelled.

I took my copy of One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi to Herbology and I left it in the greenhouse, by the Mandrake seedlings. _ was horrified I didn't have it for class. Said I need to get my priorities straight.

What's the point of even learning about Herbology if we can't get ourselves into some trouble with Gillyweed?

If I haven't personally met a mermaid by the end of term, I can tell you, I shan't be happy.

Any of you know where I can find some Leaping Toadstools?

Did you get your Bitterroot from Pippin's? Or did you pick it yourself? I'm desperately in need of some.

I heard some chatter near the girls' lavatory about Boomslang skin. Do you think they're looking to brew a Polyjuice Potion?

I suppose I'd be curious about a Beautification Potion. What? Not for me, moonmind. For a friend of mine.

Don't be stupid. How do you look at a rock and say, 'Oh, I think I'll drink that.'?

Those French don't even hold their wands right so I don't know what they're teaching at Beauxbatons.

Almost makes you want to send them one just to give them a thrill.

Me? I'm dripping with owls.

Is there anywhere in Hogwarts you haven't explored?

I thought I was a good duellist, but I wouldn't dare cross you.. .

It was brilliant how you defeated _ in that duel.

Where did you and run off to?

Almost got me expelled, that did.

My father used to say that I looked part Erumpent. It's not funny.

If I Transfigure my poor toad into a goblet one more time, I think he's going to insist he stay that way.

Professor _ going to quiz us on rare water beasts next week.

Can't wait to tell _ I actually saw a Kelpie in Ireland over the summer.

Don't know why the common rooms all have secret ways of entering. Who wants to go into someone else's common room anyway? We were sorted for a reason.

Someone's parent sent homemade Cauldron Cakes and they shared them in the common room. Think they mistook salt for sugar, mind you. Half-eaten cakes everywhere for days, there were.

Our dorm's atrocious. I do wish people would clean up after themselves once in a while

A Bundimun destroyed my homework last night.

If I didn't know better, I'd say they were raised by trolls.

I was distracted by Peeves and ran face-first into _ the other day. Our books went flying. Think it made Peeves' entire week.

_ caught me making faces behind his back. It was awful – not to mention losing so many house points.

I need to get some dragon-hide gloves for Herbology. I refuse to handle Chinese Chomping Cabbages with bare hands.

Going to harvest some knotgrass from the greenhouses today. Did you know that it's used in Polyjuice Potion?

I'd like to open a shop in Hogsmeade myself one day.

I'd wager it was something to do with their time as an Auror.

Every time she pretends not to see me in the halls, I cast at her with a Trip Jinx.

I was trapped on the Grand Staircase for an hour the other day waiting for it to move.

My friends and I like to spend our evenings watching the sun set from the Quidditch pitch.

That’s all the pitch is good for this year, sadly.

Have you been to the Owlery lately? House-elves have fallen a bit behind in the cleaning this week.

I heard an ex-Auror lives in a hamlet outside of Hogsmeade. Think I'd want a quiet life too after years fighting Dark Wizards.

I'd like to retire to Hogsmeade one day. Open a pub. Bore future Hogwarts pupils with tales of my childhood.

Any news about the dragon near Pitt-Upon-Ford? Be enough to make me move, to be honest.

I met some of my best friends in Flying. Nothing creates a bond like thinking you're all about to die.

_ promised me his old broomstick once he's saved up for a new one.

I practised doing a loop-the-loop on my broom all summer.

I miss going to matches.

Cheering everyone on was magnificent fun.

The Chudley Cannons are going to be unbeatable next season; you just wait and see.

_ glanced at me the other day in the Great Hall. I spit out my breakfast. Not sure it sent the right message.

I used to write to my parents every week. Now I can't remember the last time I sent them an owl.

Wish I'd brought a pet owl to school.

So many letters arrive every day and none of them is ever for me.

I rather enjoy Transfiguration myself. The complexity – the precise nature of it; truly something to be admired.

Professor _ is a marvellous teacher. Never requires us to write more inches of parchment on a topic than necessary.

If I can just stop vanishing my notes when practising Evanesco, I think I can get an O on my Transfiguration O.W.L. this year.

Wish I had your skill. I'm like a drowned Billywig at Crossed Wands, I am.

Just curious, were you born with a broom?

Oh, you shouldn't be using that sort of magic. You'll get into a lot of trouble for that

My 10 days experience as an immersionist student

Before our deployment in work immersion I already prepared all the things that I need for tomorrow which are my resume, application letter, my uniform, and even myself. Since Division Office is where the superintendent worked and some known people who really worked hard to make our Education presentable and smooth.

March 13 Tuesday, this is it I woke up at 6 am since I need to finalize all the things that I will bring in my duty. When I arrived in Division office Ms. Bernadez welcome us with huge smile in her face and she orient us. We introduced ourselves and asked this question; what is you expectation working in Division office? Afterwards she divided us where will be our final destination. The group of Edwin assigned in Records where Ms. Bernadez worked, my group were assigned in personnel unit. But here's a twist we asked again to introduce ourselves and state our strand, I was the only who assigned at Administrative unit and I'm a little bit nervous because I don't have anyone, I just have myself. Few moments within that day, Ms. Criselle one of the staff tasked me to segregate all the DTR or Daily time record in highschool level teachers, she instructed me what I need to do. It was a challenging tasked for me since there are plenty of schools within Talisay and when I got home I really felt the ache of my back.

My second and third day as an immersionist student in Division office. The same routine, I get the cleaning materials which is the mop and sweeper. I clean the entire floor and make it clean so that all the staff in Administrative unit when they arrived it will lessen their work and they can just sit instead of cleaning. 8:30 when ma'am Rachel tasked me to scan, change the last name to those teachers who are married and encode their names as well as their personal information in computer. Time is so fast, I ate my lunch together with Nica and Rheena and it wouldn't be complete without some chika, telling our day how it went. Since I already done the task that is assigned by me from ma'am Rachel afternoon that day, I did nothing but I helped my Glory when there is someone who will need their service records. Time check ohh it was already 5 pm, it's go home time.

March 18 my 4th day as an immersionist student and at the same time this day our first day of NAT examination. The most surprising part is I almost late since I woke at 7:08 and our NAT will start at 7:30, I wash my face then get my self ready for school and I didn't ate my breakfast since again it's time. I arrived at school at 7:25 am and I was so embarrassed since I'm the only student who is late for that day. I was just accept and move forward. 12 in the usafternoon we went to Division office to work, ma'am Aireen task me to encode the Designation and she instructed me what to do, it was so thick I just finished some and a lot more.

March 19, my 5th day and also my 2nd day in NAT examination, guess what I arrived at school at 6 am, yes 6 am I was like thinking that I know I can do it for the sake of our school and I really need to answer it seriously. Afternoon we ate our lunch and then went to Division office I continue what ma'am Aireen asked to do, I encode it as fast as I could but it was just so thick that took me at 5 pm, time is fast when you are doing something important that needed to be passed.

March 20, 21, 22 what a productive days! March 20 morning I finished what ma'am Aireen asked me to do which is the Designation letters, after that ma'am Louella tasked me to encode the clothing allowance for teachers. She instructed me what to do and I did some notes so that I can assure that all the things will smoothly went since ma'am Louella, she will be on leave. I finished the task within that day, there are one thousand plus teachers in elementary level and I encoded it within that day, and I felt really great. After that, ma'am criselle explained and she instructed me to received the DTR through computer and print it and gave it to Ma'am Flor, I extend my time for 30 minutes just to finish the tasked that is assigned to me.

March 27, continuation of my duty. When I finished sweeping the floor and clean the office I immediately worked what ma'am Rachel tasked me to do, which is the encoding of salary for those staff who made progress for their work, I also encoded the important information of those teachers who are substitute and those staff who are permanent I've finished it. Since it was a half day because it will be a holy week then we decided to duty in the afternoon. Then, ma'am Aireen told us that me and Rheena will be singing the prayer on April 1 during the flag ceremony and I was so shocked because I wasn't good at singing. Some of my schoolmates were assigned to lead the energizer. After some practice, we went outside to do some inventory and list all the clothes for unreleased CVRAA clothes and it was full of fun, since sir Pat is here with us counting then he treat us. Made some small talks and at 5 pm we took some pictures together ma'am Marf, sir Julius, Ma'am Aireen, and also sir Patrick.

April 1 my last day as an immersionist student. When woke up in the morning I am with mix emotions because I didn't know how to feel, I will be happy knowing that I am in the last day in my duty but at the same I was a little bit sad since I am already attached to those great and very nice people within my 2 weeks.

As usual, I clean the office then I decided to continue encoding the Leave cards. Unttil Rheena went into my work place to inform that there will be a small appreciation for us, they treat us with plenty of delicious pizzas and took some pictures for remembrance. For my two weeks as an immersionist student, I am proud to say that I've learned a lot only in using the excel but I've also learned how to appreciate those people who really work hard for the sake of all the teachers and students. I also appreciate the dedication and hardwork of my family for me to be able to have a good future. Before I went home ma'am Aireen and other staff for the last time give me some piece of advise that really hit me.

I gunna be straight forward I want to see the old ass coffee shop trope on Pepa and Felix thank you goodbye

Oh we LOVE some coffee au? Let's GO!

Félix could complain about a lot in his life. The fact that he lived in a small apartment in a big, busy city, the fact that he didn't make nearly as much money as he wanted, or the fact that he worked in the food industry. It. Sucked. But honestly, you had to look at the good things in life. He had a job, he'd only been called one swear word once this month (he worked in food in the middle of a big city, if anything that number is low), and he liked his coworkers. It was fairly slow in the coffee shop too, given that the sun was starting to set. Soon, his shift would be over, he'd get to go home, do it all over again.

"Félix? How's it going up here?"

Agustín poked his head from the back. Félix owned this coffee shop, 'la mariposa negra', alongside his buddy, Agustín. He was the numbers guy, Félix did...well, literally everything else. It was a system, and he worked. Félix shrugged.

"Good, good. Think we should close up early, no one gets coffee at night."

"Maybe, I'm just about done back here. How many pastries do we have left?"

Félix looked over the glass counter, and shrugged.

"A good number. Why, you want something?"

"No. They're good after a day, right?"

"Maybe, but I'd rather give them away, like usual."

"It'd be easier."

"If everything in life was easy, we wouldn't push ourselves, amigo."

Agustín always worried about money, he couldn't blame him. But Félix had too much pride to serve day old food like other coffee places. Agustín chuckled, knowing better than to argue.

"I know, I know. I just, wish people saw that, Félix. Let's clean up early, get a head start for tomorrow. You need help?"

"I got it, I got it."

Félix was started to pack away all the pastries, when the bell on the door rang, letting him know someone was here.

"Hey, we're shutting kinda early tonight, so you can't hang out in here, just an fyi."

"Oh, that's too bad, it feels nice in here."

He stood up to properly apologize to this woman's face, when he got a good look at her. Now love at first sight was bullshit. But adoration at first sight was VERY much a thing, because this woman was GORGEOUS. She wore a black tank top with a picture of a sun on it, cute little shorts that revealed those beautiful, long legs of hers, and her face. Sharp green eyes, beautiful freckles, and little wisps of red hair clung a bit to her sweaty features. A large tattoo ran from her neck, down her front, past her breasts that he totally wasn't looking at, stopping just short of her shorts. They were so detailed, angry, they reminded him of lighting.

"Uh, excuse me? Yoohoo?"

Oh my god, he had been staring at her this whole time, like some weirdo. He cleared his throat, trying to save himself here.

"Sorry that's just. A REALLY impressive tattoo."

She looked down at herself and grinned, showing off her cute little gap in her teeth.

"Oh thank you! My brother did them! He's an artist. So uh, is it too late to order?"

"Oh no no, please, go on, what can I get you?"

She sighed in relief, whiping some sweat from her forehead.

"Good! I was hoping you guys were still open when my run was over. Let's see...oh, I want one of those chocolate muffins, chocolate cake pop, two of those brownies...and what would you recommend for coffee? I want something sweet."

"Could've fooled me on that one. Honestly, I like the salted carmel fraps. Could put in a couple more pumps than usual, since you're a first."

"Ugh, I heard THAT during my first time. Sure, I'll take it."

He snorted, despite not really wanting to. It made her smile, and he hated it, no way a woman should get to look so pretty and be THIS funny. He got the cup ready, and was about to just make it, when he realized he could totally use this opportunity here.

"Name for the drink?"

"I'm...the only one here?"

"And how do you spell that?"

It was HER turn to snort now, and damn was that a sound he could get used to.

"P-E-P-A. Odd way to spell it, I know."

So her name was Pepa. Pretty Pepa. He wrote the name on the cup, and as he let everything blend, he packaged up her goodies.

"I haven't seen you pass by here, you new?"

"To the area, yes, I'm here for work."

"What do you do for work? Model?"

She chuckled at him, swatting her hand playfully at him.

"Oh, you flatter. No, I'm a meteorologist! I work at the news station like, twenty minutes from here."

"Oh I think I know that place, I delivered coffee there once."

He poured the contents of the blender into a cup, added whipped cream, and added loads of caramel to the top, before putting a lid on it, and adding it to the rest of her order.

"Oh I didn't know you delivered."

"We really don't, we were just especially broke that week, honestly."

She chuckled as she put her counted the cash she needed for her order, before stopping herself.

"Oh shit, I almost forgot-could I get an iced coffee too? Something strong. And an egg sandwich, totally forgot my sister asked for something."

"No problem at all,"

Félix got started on this next coffee, making it as strong as strong could get, as well as throwing an egg sandwich in the griddle.

"Your sister works with you?"

"Oh no, she works at the hospital a bit away, she's an emergency response nurse. We live together though."

"Ay, it's good to stay with family. Mine's back in Colombia."

He met her rather surprised looking eyes, and for a moment, she looked excited.

"You're from Colombia too? My mom is from there!"

"REALLY? Huh. Small world, huh?"

This woman loved talking about herself, and he did NOT mind in the slightest. He got the rest of her order, pushing it to her, and giving her the change back. He hated to see her go, really he did. But it's not like she could stay her. Though, he'd never forgive himself if he didn't at least TRY his shot at this woman.

"You know I uh, haven't met anyone else from Colombia here. Do you miss it?"

She looked surprised by his question as she gathered her stuff, before her face fell, and she nodded.

"I do, yes. Mi papi called it his home before he died, it meant a lot to me. But we moved here because I was given the job offer, as well as my sister. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I'm just saying, I miss it too. I miss Christmases there, I even miss Palm sundays. And the flower festival, always beautiful. I just thought, if you needed someone to relate to, we could always talk more."

She seemed to not understand it, before a chuckle escaped her precious lips.

"Are you...flirting with me, hombrecito?"

"I'm more keen on the word 'seduce', but si, I am flirting with you. Assuming another man hasn't swept in before me."

Pepa bit in her lip in thought, before setting her stuff down, and grabbing the pen usually left on the counter. She then took his hand (her skin was SO soft), and wrote numbers on it, alongside just the smallest heart.

"My phone number. I'm not giving it to you because we're both Colombian, you know."

"You...aren't?"

"No. I like sweets, and I can't think of anything sweeter than chocolate ~"

She kissed his palm, leaving just a bit of lipstick under the ink. She was a bold woman, not shy at all. She gathered her things, gave him a wave alongside that mischievous look, and he swore he saw rainbows over her as she left. He stood there, not believing this absolute goddess just hit on him. She was so pretty, she worked close, and clearly she was into him. How much luck can one man have?

"Félix, did I hear someone come in? Do you...you okay?"

Félix slowly nodded, and didn't care how badly he was swooning right now.

"I'm...more than okay. I think I just met the woman of my dreams."

"Ay, you said that last week."

"It's DIFFERENT this time! You should've seen her, Agustín! She was pretty, witty, she's. Oh, my poor heart, it won't sit still!"

"You sure it's not the three cups of coffee you've had today?"

"...might be both."

Agustín rolled his eyes as he helped him finish cleaning, before they walked back home. Agustín may not believe him, but Félix knew what he was talking about. He knew he was in love with a woman who didn't even know his name.

Note

Hypothetically, when Raimundo was promoted to Shoku Warrior, who do you think would have been his de facto second-in-command within the group? His, for all intents and purposes, right-hand monk? Come to think of it, what would be his new responsibilities as the Shoku Warrior?

I don't think the group would turn automatically have a set lieutenant.

(But tdlr; Master Fung, I guess?)

Especially not since the finale narrative seems to argue that it sort of considers Kimiko and Clay unreasonably incompetent in spite of their pre-season 3 strengths (the story implying that those two would absolutely screw everything up if they were given any amount of power and need to cede all their authority before anything even starts to get better is still so weird...), and Omi still reasonably has a long way to go and several open threads that the finale didn't tie. Kimiko, Omi, and Clay are all still nomimally equals.

If the way they were in the finale sticks, then all three of them need to... not make any decisions going forward?

I think I was chosen as leader? I guess I didn’t do a very good job... Sorry. (Immediately followed by none of her teammates or the story itself disagreeing with that, and then taking away her de facto position as leader without her reacting to it in any way. It relies on Kimiko being uncharacteristically passive and defeatist all of a sudden.)

Well, despite a few setbacks, I think we have done pretty well for ourselves. We’re growing the tastiest corn this side of Houston. (Immediately followed by Clay being berated for not having the team do something else, and then taking away his de facto position as leader without him reacting to it in any way. It relies on Clay being uncharacteristically oblivious and obtuse all of a sudden.)

Their portrayals in most of the final season imply they just shouldn't be allowed to, that it'd be like giving a small child a bucket of mud and a box of crayons in a clean white room. It really wants to say that Clay and Kimiko are... directionless and dumb? They are apparently better just following orders.

After so thoroughly eviscerating their intelligence and ability as leaders or even just as warriors at all, I can’t see that story suddenly elevating them to a even second-in-command role.

But as long as their usual personalities return, they'll alternate between being the brains and brawns that are necessary to solve their daily problems like they have been doing already. So the "de facto" second-in-command would be Kimiko, Clay, Omi, Dojo, or in rare occasions Jack, depending on the episode, just like it has been before. Clay still has his extremely creative, out-of-the-box way of problem solving (plus has areas of expertise like animals), Kimiko's still an excellent detective and the one most willing to tackle things head on (plus the most technically minded), Omi still has the best grasp of the basics and a lot of fluidity but also a lot of sympathy for reaching out to certain people and wiggling into tight spots, Dojo steps up to the plate in certain times of crisis, and Jack is usually instrumental in keep things above water when one of the other villains is currently ruling the world, and even if none of them can lead, they should still all get to do those roles.

Plus, it's still a four-person group. Elevating exactly half its members to a higher status would throw off its balance even more than it already is and imply there's a full 1st, 2nd, 3rd, last ranking system, which is terrible for morale and performance. It'd work in a full army, like Chase's jungle cats or Jack's robots, but a group that small would probably fall apart from it. It'd give the two competing for dead last little reason to want to help each other and gradual resentment towards the whole thing.

If there's a de facto second-in-command, I'd assume it'd be Master Fung himself. He'd still be there as the head of the temple and the in charge of their lessons, he'd just actively defer to Raimundo to make more decisions and would trust him enough to not feel the need to force input for them.

I assume as leader, Raimundo is in charge of setting their mission plans and getting first call and final say in things. He'd be in charge of tactics and decide things like who takes points, who puts themselves in harms way, etc. He probably gets some say in Fung's lessons plans, too.

Inkdrop Literature chapter 3!

AO3 version

You watched from the cash register as Sun sat criss cross applesauce on the carpet in the kid's section, reading to a few children. You giggled to yourself as he did goofy voices for each character, and waved his hand as he spoke. It was common for Sun and Moon to entertain kids who came in with their parents, with coloring books, stories, showing them the plants, really anything those two do kids love. They worked in a daycare before the pizzaplex went out of business, after all.

""Oh, my prince!", The princess said!" Sun did a silly high pitched voice, earning a few giggles from the children. Just as he was about to turn the page, you two made eye contact. He smiled and waved, you returned the favor, feeling your face heat up from being noticed.

You turned to the computer, only to see two red dots behind your reflection. "Hey, Moon" you greeted, not looking back as you turned on the device. "Someone caught your eye?" He teased, leaning down so his head was beside yours. You lightly smacked his faceplate. "It's just amazing how good with kids you two are, I guess."

"Well, it's what we were programmed to do! Though, it did take some time to get used to."

"What do you mean?" You faced him and tilted your head.

"Well," he sat down next to you, though his eyes were on Sun, who was still reading. "Though we were programmed to take care of children, we still needed practice. For months, we took care of plushies and dolls, feeding them, changing them, playing with them... But, only once were we given a human to practice with. It... Nevermind." He balled his fists and took deep breath. "A-anyway, when we were finally placed in the daycare, it was a disaster! Sun and I didn't know what to do. Dolls stayed quiet and still, but the children were rambunctious! We basically had to teach ourselves."

You nodded, taking in all the new information, and when it finally processed, you were, to put it lightly, pissed. "What?!" You exclaimed, "that's bullshit! They trained you with DOLLS? Do they even know how stupid that is?!" You groaned in frustration.

Moon sighed. "I know, I know. Our da-... Creator, wasn't very attentive."

"I'm sorry." You couldn't help but feel bad for them. You couldn't imagine being only a few months old, being thrown into a daycare and responsible for other people's kids. That sounds like way too much pressure and too many legal problems.

"Don't be. We learned." Moon shrugged. "The past is the past. And while it still hurts that they did that, there's not much you can do but live in the present, you know?" He rested his head on his hand and sighed. "And I think he present is pretty good." He then looked at you and smiled.

"I think so too, buddy."

"Thank you!" Sun said as he saw the last costumer out the door. The robot flipped the open sign to closed, and locked the door. "You two know what day it is?" Sun asked cheerfully, and didn't even give you and moon a moment to reply before saying, "Mopping day!"

You and Moon let out loud groans in unison. "Oh, come on! The store isn't that big!" Sun rolled his eyes. "If we work together, it'll be done in no time. Sunflower, could you go upstairs and get the cleaning supplies from the closet?"

You tilted your head. "You trust me enough to go in your guy's house? A-are you sure?" You asked, though the nosy side of you was rubbing their hands together with glee. "Why wouldn't we? You are our favorite employee, after all" Sun smiled. "I'm your ONLY employee" you felt your face heat up slightly.

"Not if you don't hurry and get the cleaning supplies you aren't" Moon joked. "I'm going, I'm going" you responded, heading towards the staircase. It lead to a balcony that wrapped around the interior of the store, all that was up there was more bookshelves, but tucked in the corner, was a blue door with a sun and moon painted on it, with a gold sign that read "Employees Only!"

You twisted the golden knob, and pulled open the door. You were greeted by the smell of pumpkin spice and apple cider, and a cozy little room. You stepped inside, and noted the ungodly amount of plants in the room. You didn't think it was possible for them to have any more!

There were two beds on ether side of the room, a charging cord resting on each. The brighter bed, you assumed it was Sun's, held many stuffed animals and pillows, which made you smile. The darker side of the room had many vinyl records on the walls, along with a small desk that held an open notebook. You scolded the nosy side of you, and looked away from the notebook.

...

Well, one peek wouldn't hurt, right?

Your nosy side getting the best of you, you walked over to the desk and read the open diary entry.

"Good evening, diary.

It happened again. I slipped. I was talking to a customer, when suddenly, the overwhelming urge to... Hurt, came into my mind. It was like a voice, yet my own thoughts at the same time. I had slammed their cupcake on the counter with so much force that it splattered everywhere! I apologized so much, my voice box may as well have given out. I can't do this for much longer, when will I snap? When will I hurt someone, especially Sun and our little Daydream? I don't want to be that person again. I can't be that person again.

Goodnight.

-Moondrop"

You sat there for a few moments, in shock at what you had just read. What could this mean? Hurt? Moon wouldn't hurt a fly!

It seems your friends had been hiding something from you, and you wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Annyeong! ✨

The exact place where we met.

Yeah more than a year down, roller coster ? Nah a whole amusement park bruh.

Starting from where you reaching me out to me finding reasons to visit your room. Thanks tho :)

Cannot describe how many emotions have I felt and gone through in a single year with you and understanding the importance of feeling it respectting it no matter how bad it did for me for you or for others. No not saying you helped me being selfish but making realise I cannot be someone to just take up someone's bull shit just for the sake of it.

I know if it wasn't you I would've pissed down by people whom I titled to be freinds. Yeah wouldn;t really know or be gutsy enough to let them know what I am facing. Today no matter what or how things have been with them i'm so happy for speaking up for myself and letting them know "aise nai chalega".

I feel so much more evolved and confident around you so much that I can at least not shutup my thoughts thinking it's better to be meek.

Can't imagine myself a year and a half before and now. The first year kid would not be so determined to have suggested you that night, might have been so fuckin scared to do something for myself without asking anyone without thinking much just doing it because I wanted to.

I want to let you know that you have successfully been the only person till date who knows about me, EVERYTHING, Woah, and it's all because of you not just giving out an ear but making an effort to know me to tell me that it's safe to put it out here.

I have so much to talk to you about everything and anything but at times I also feel quiet to just have you by my side. TOUCH yk.

I feel so comforted to jsut be around you. I can easily put it to you my likes and dislikes without thinking twice, knowing even if you judge you'll let me know.

Sometimes I just miss having any random activity of ours that used to be normal back in those days. More than a roommate we've been like a team. And I cherish that.

I've grown with you and would want to continue doing that, learn new stuff, implement it, accept the change, be sad, happy, cry, alcoholic, build, clean, everything makes sense. Every little thing seems meaningful and worth remembering. Can you imagine I could literally take up about something about in the past that we both faced together but just randomly talk about it, something that felt good, bad, wierd, new ? Argh OMG you be my walky talky. To remind you walky talky are kept in near range only haaa.

Things would change a lot after you go, I guess, but I am sure we can manage if not we will still manage. Yeah I am scared of losing this bond with you and one should be, when it's this beautiful, but everything isn't about me and us. I know there are things that needs to be worked on, that needs to be noticed. I am sure how we've been together, we will keep coming back at times. I've been scared about losing people since forever but that has never stopped my growth as a person neither would I want you to. I've realised a while ago how Su and sour kept it to themselves/secret/or even actually being freinds and not in a relationship has helped them bonding stronger as well as prioritising their neeeds too. Giving utmost importance to each othr while working on themselves. I guess that's what su meant when people asked why not in a relationship. I know for a fact that the kind of people they both are no matter what they gonna stick even if others don't. That's when I felt it was good for us to not be that close. Now she can time up for someone she's actually close to and the same for me ?Therefore don't be pessimistic about the change rather embrace it as a big curve in your life that could change your ways of living, thinking and just being you. INDEPENCE. ✨ The one that we fought for all our life, the one for which we did stuff we didn't even want to, cried at times thinking when will we get out of it, cribbing at every failures that made us feel underconfident about ourselves, but still going on knowing it will definitely be over one day. And it has.

I will always keep looking for you because I want to.

Keep growing and shining my monsoon flower, you blossom with your own beauty.

Remember a flower blossoms for it's own joy.

AND some cringy lines -

Are you BTS 🤔, coz you, you are my universe and I I just want to put you first!

AHhhh ahhhhh my chest is paining 😖😣 can you hold me pls, I think I'll fall for you!

Where my soldiers at 🔫, need to open fire my love towards you 💕

hehe thank you for the show, bye. 🤌

⭐ | COMMISSION VI : Trial of the Deceased

TW: murder (implied), infidelity, mafia event spoilers (if you're not aware), death is implied if you squint

"So, we have ourselves a murder case, do we?"

"Attempted murder. The bastard didn't even finish the job."

"Oh, right. He did use Primordial Seawater, after all..."

Kunimitsu had mixed feelings about... The matter itself. It wasn't as though he was new to all of this— he's quite versed into the business of crimes and 'cleaning people up', to be fair.

But the idea of using Primordial Seawater all due to a simple argument... It reminded him of memories that is best contained from below.

Raising up the letter (which the wife had given them), the informant went through the contents of her written alibi again, brows furrowed in thought.

"She mentioned that he would sneak off every weekend, but she didn't knew how he got Primordial Seawater on her drinks," Navina mused, their grey yellow eyes going through the page. "If I remember correctly, it's very hard to get that from normal stores."

Kunimitsu raised an eyebrow at this, but he was examining their surroundings more as they were going to the direction that they were told to look for by a few... Individuals.

"And you're saying that it has the capability of dissolving people who are from Fontaine?"

"Mhm. I've witnessed it myself first hand in court with the traveler," they said, shuddering. "It was... Chilling. And I don't even know where the source of these things came from during Lyney's trial— all the traveler and I know is that Primordial Seawater is manufactured and that they're sold in vials."

... interesting.

I wonder how useful that'll be if I used it agai—

The albino stopped walking for a moment and pulled on Kunimitsu's kimono, causing him to stumble. He caught on his footing and glanced at them, about to ask what they were doing when he saw their expression.

The look of apprehension on their face made him quiet, his head turning to see the scene unfolding before them.

It seems as though they found the client's husband, judging by how he was being way too close to some merchants whose faces were hidden under their clothes. He raised his hand to offer cash to the merchant, to which they trade it off with vials.

And Navina knew what those are.

Pulling Kunimitsu out of sight, he stayed quiet as he watched them dug around for a Kamera. Their focused expression says it all as they retrieved it and faced the two men.

"... I just needed some more of these. I can't have my wife find out about her."

"Oh? Find out about your infidelity, huh? Well, I doubt she would. Has she drank it yet?"

"I don't think so, no. She was angry and went out to consult to her friends. I doubt she had the chance to drink it yet."

Hm... So, he's cheating on her, and then what?

"Hmph. You've been quite reckless, Reynold. What would she think of you? It would be quite terrible if she comes to the court after finding out about your shady deals here."

Their eyes widened at the information, and they raised their Kamera when the two men faced each other. This time, he was being traded a photograph.

Click. Click.

"I doubt it. Anyway, here's that photo you asked— I'm sure you'll have a lovely time getting someone to... Deal with her, if things fall through."

After the exchange, Navina took one last photo of the two separating before facing Kunimitsu, their face awfully pale from what the duo had heard.

No words needed to be explain between them.

A murder is about to occur.

"He's... Planning to kill me by that shady man he's been contacting with?"

"Yes, mrs. Marigold," Navina answered, their face grim as they handed her the photos they took. "Unfortunately, I was not able to record what was being spoken, but... The photos are enough to speak for itself."

They watched as the married woman took the photograph one by one, her expression crestfallen as she saw what they took. And considering their job as well...

"... I see. Thank you so much," she nodded, bowing at them. "Please, I... This will be enough for me to sue him in court."

Navina smiled and nodded, but their expression remained the same.

Kunimitsu didn't understood why at first, but then, it clicked in his head.

They're being reminded of her, back in Liyue.

"If you ever need an attorney, please contact us. We would love to handle this case and bring this matter to light," they said, but Kunimitsu could tell they were simply saying it to convince themselves that it was her.

He hated it.

Why won't you look at him like that?

"I will, if the matter is necessary," the lady chuckled and shook their hand. Standing up, she bowed once again and led the two out, in the promise of returning in a few days time.

As they returned back on the road, the wanderer couldn't help but stare at his lover, an expression unreadable... And yet so full of grief resting on their features.

Nothing was needed to be said, he thought.

After all, I've had the same expression when I saw what became of them that day.

I wish you had kept those glasses on today.

I dont know how tf I'm supposed to get over the fact that I know the color of your eyes now. It was kind of hazel but then kind of red brownish in the center and more greenish in the surroundings.

di nuovo ecco mi making you the solution

forcing myself to make you the solution

sometimes even making myself your solution!!!!

why can't we just accepts us the way we are

why would we even seek a solution

a solution for solving which problem

why would i even see a problem in you at all

i though I'd like you, where does the problem stem from

i read this part of a book saying that when we like people

that happens cuz we see in them the same needs we see in ourselves

or maybe the same unsatisfied needs

idk how it works but I have apparently, subconsciously seen these unsatisfied needs

but what is it? is it the need to be loved so bad in a way that brings you satisfaction?

and if that's the case, why am i so certain that i can give you that

maybe because i want it so much....

I remember when you had first started working in the lib, everyday my day was lowkey ruined cuz every morning I got this "here she comes again" vibe from you, some kind of despise that I couldn't tell where it might come from. It got me so upset i even talked to my flatmate about it told him there is this guy at the lib i think he hates me he literally pisses me off everytime i see his face and him being all like dude just confront him and say it and me being all like yea imma do it tomorrow and well i never did.

i'm glad i didn't. that sure would have been nasty.

maybe cuz i noticed the "unsatisfied needs". like out of the blue. i woke up one morning and decided to take off the sunglasses off my third eye or sth.

today i dont know why but the fact that i could not help but to allow myself to be nervous about the shit i was so deep in, i could not help but to lowkey see you drifting away as more of my demons and anxiety you were being exposed to second by second. I had become quite hyper-ac once again and i was not fully aware of it at the time but i could feel something was off. Maybe i was trying to align you and my image of you, subconsciously and that's why i saw you drifting away from me. Like you were interacting with me but you had nothing else to say. nothing. not even sympathy.

(the way i said "perfect" after hearing that everything will get erased after you shut down the machine, felt more like "ah thanks god my porn history will get wiped clean I'll be a saint again". But in fact i was being sarcastic it was so funny).

Growing Up In A Broken Home

Having a broken family hurts, but regardless, everybody must rely on one another for support and understanding. Sometimes it's difficult, but when you love someone, your compassion bestows you with generosity. There were six of us in my family. My mom, dad, 2 sisters, 1 brother and then me. We were living well, happily and without problems and that’s the only thing that everyone around us knows, hence, they don't know is that our family is going through something. Let me disclose what really happened in our family so you’ll know the truth.

I was only five years old that day and the one who followed me was three years old and the youngest girl was only one year old when my mother started to change, she was always fighting with dad and she always told dad that she didn't want that he wanted to divorce but of course dad didn't want to agree because he wanted our family to be whole but my mother insisted on what she wanted so she made a way to divorce.

My mother used to be a manicurist, and I remember when she was cleaning the man’s nail. My siblings and I were together that day and while mom was doing her job, I felt like something was wrong, and that day was when our family relationship started to break up. Mom often leaves the house but we are always with her wherever she goes. She had been seeing the man whose nails she cleaned. We were coming home in the afternoon and dad was already at home waiting for us. He always asked us where we went and we always tend to say it was only to mom's friend even though the truth was sometimes more deeper, I was afraid to report that day because Mom would scold me if I had told the truth to Dad.

Weeks and months had passed, mom continued to cheat on dad until it reached the point where mom left dad, and mom left without saying goodbye, leaving my two sisters and I behind only at school. Then after that I never saw them again. A few hours later dad came to the school and asked me where my mom and my sisters were, but I only cried and at the same time hugged dad and I told him everything I knew because I couldn't bear to see them anymore dad is struggling. The only thing I didn’t understand was the reason why mom did that to dad even though dad has doing everything to make our life happy and healthy.

But I know you are wondering why there seems to be something wrong because nothing was mentioned about my brother because he is the son of another man. Unfortunately, he couldn’t live in this world. Actually, I also had a second and third sister. To be honest, they are mom's children with another man and I am the only child of mom and dad, but because dad loves mom so much, he adopted my two siblings and made dad use his last name even though they are not his children. And that's where the real story of our happy family ends, and why we are like this today .

I honestly don't know why those things happened to us, the things that I had seen in front of my eyes. Perhaps I had it so that I would know right away the things that I should not imitate and to I become aware of the reality of life. What happened to us proved to me that there is no perfect life in this world we live in. Even if we all do it if the person doesn't know how to be content, all your suffering and all your sacrifices for that person will be ignored, so we must learn not to give everything, we must also live for ourselves.

I learn from a young age that people are often insensitive, as most people don’t care about what’s going on at our home and often don’t acknowledge it if they don’t see it. Though I am not seeking any pity, a little consideration goes a long way. No one will ever know what happened to someone if they don’t have something on them.

Living like this feels like I am isolated and different from the rest of the world. Being so distant to a parent or a sibling often pressures me into feeling like I need to deal with it by myself. Why? Because it’s embarrassing. Feels like I am the only one with a family who can’t seem to get along. It’s embarrassing because while everyone gets picked up by their parents, I don’t have any way hit to ride a public transport.

It hurts because sometimes its different to understand why am I going through all this. Why I have to suffer while everyone else is so seemingly happy with their families. I often with the same thing when other families get along so well. But I’m sure that everything is not my fault, even if its difficult. It’s difficult to accept that it’s not my fault. A spiraling mind with endless thoughts and loneliness with no escape often leads to self-blame and guilt; the feeling that my birth was a burden and the cause of this whole mess. But I learn to accept that it’s not my fault, gradually and that I shouldn’t take responsibility for other people’s actions.

Most holidays pretty much suck. Especially everytime I see my friend online posting their picture online with their families. Christmas has never been good to me. I have heard my friends’ families travelling overseas just to be with their extended relatives. It’s great to see and at the same time, I’m jealous to have the kind of and I just long to be part of a family willing to go to such places just to be with each other on vacations.

I dread parent-teacher-conference. It gives me anxiety because I don’t want my teachers to call my family; I don’t want my teachers to know of my situation. I hate every other event that requires a parent present, and it makes me crazy jealous when I see other parents who care enough to make such an effort with their children.

That being said, while it does suck to come from a broken family, I have learned many things. I learned to how endure hardships and persist in the face of adversity. I learned to face and deal with embarrassment. I was also able to gain a unique sense of compassion and empathy. I know how to mistreat someone because I am aware that we all have different struggles to get through. With the experiences, I was able to establish strong bonds between my friends. Moreover, when I finally get the opportunity to build my own family, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to uphold a happy and supporting household
