🌺 Marabelle Series AU

Choices - The Royal Romance The Royal Wedding

So many 'thank you's' to the amazing @pilitella for creating this beautiful artwork of Liam & Sophie's kiss.✨️💖✨️Your talent for art is stunning!

🌺 Leo slid into the seat next to Liam. It's the groom's bachelor party being held in a speakeasy in Monterisso. "So, I don't want to sound like a buzz kill, but ...I should probably lay down some ground rules for tonight."

Drake scoffs, "please, we all know how to behave ourselves."

Bertrand nods, "no, you're right Leo, the last thing we want is the night to end up in the tabloids."

Trystan laughs, "the party has literally only started and already a buzzkill and a killjoy are here. Where are we supposed to get our excitement from?"

"Oh, I have that covered, T, don't worry. We'll get the party started soon enough. I've made sure the bartenders are on their toes," Leo winks at Trystan.

Liam shakes his head, grinning knowingly at his brother's response.

Lily Baker Pushing Daisies type scenario.

Lily waking up as a soul like Dean does in 2.01, not knowing she's dead and meeting Tessa, and cringing away from her touch because she doesn't want Tessa to die. Tessa, calm and empathetic and patient, keeping her distance until Lily is ready to accept her death. In that process, Tessa really gets to know Lily and gets conflicted about taking her to the afterlife, so she works out a deal with Death (he's not unreasonable, and she has been a faithful servant). Death will make both of them human, and allow Lily to touch people again, as long as Tessa takes on that burden for her.

Lily finally allows Tessa to touch her soul, to guide her back into her (safely recovered) body, and it's desperate and healing and painful. And when they wake up next to each other, they can never touch again. But Lily's had plenty of practice avoiding that, and Tessa is enjoying her newly recovered humanity*, and they make it work.

*I picture reapers as souls that were taken in by Death. I ignore the idea that they are angels because I think that is stupid

"Now I'm craving a cherry coke too," she beamed while falling into step beside Sunday. "To the concession stand we go," she playfully announced. Tessa was so easily influenced by the suggestion because it felt like ages since she's indulged and had a cherry coke. She has been trying her best to opt for more hydrating beverages like limeades, natural juices, and obviously water. For logical reasons soda's not exactly on that list. But hey, it's summer time, and what's summer day without a beastly cold cherry coke to chase away the heat?

At the concession stand, the queue is thankfully short. Ahead of them are two other patrons. Tessa surveys the stand's signage to determine if she wants to pair her soda with anything else. "I'm drawing blanks. You should order for us, I don't know what else to get."

Knowing that Tessa had survived the fall without damage to anything - other than her ego - had Sunday's smile growing, her laughter sounding louder and more amused. With Sunday not actually being a very competitive person, the events that had transpired might have been the best possible results of their race. Of course, she never wished for her friend to go down in such a dramatic manner, but it certainly did liven up things, even while only because of the fact that Tessa had come out unscathed.

"You'll come back stronger than ever if you recover while fuelling up," she agreed with the plan easily, nodding her head, feeling ready for a small break herself. She didn't necessarily need it physically, but being such a frequent visitor there, she knew that breaks were important in order to keep herself from getting too bored. "I'd do anything for a Cherry Coke right now," Sunday thought aloud, following Tessa towards the edge of the rink and the refreshments.

Sunday, November 23rd, 11:56 pm.

I was simply sitting on my couch, not expecting anyone to bother me at this time, but then I got the dm..

[Chris:

hey, can i come over so we can talk?

i have something on my mind.

[Stella:

yeah, of course. come on over.

are you okay?

[Chris:

yes, i just have an idea.

[Stella:

okay! im excited. see you soon.

------

its nearly 12 am and my crush since 3rd grade texted me. i cant tell whether i should be excited or scared. chris has always been the kindest person to my family and i. we were best friends, since childhood. but i cant seem to get rid of my guilty crush on him.

knock knock

hes here... i walk to the door and open it slowly.

"hey chris!" i say happy to see him. "hey stell." he says back opening his arms for a hug. whenever he calls me that, it gives me butterflies. other guys around school caught onto the nickname and tried to call me it. chris would always get protective and tell them that was his name for me. i loved that about him.

"come on in." i say backing into the house opening the door some more, guiding him to the living room.

"so, whats on your mind?" i say adjusting myself by putting a pillow under my chin.

"so, you know about my crush on tessa?" he says looking at me.

"of course!" i say back getting used to the feeling in my stomach when he says her name.

"i sort of have a plan and i only trust you with it." he says smiling feeling confident in his progress.

"okay, what is it?" i ask sincerely.

"so uh- i was thinking maybe we could fake date, uh- just to kinda make tessa jealous?" he says reluctantly.

"oh, i mean yeah, im okay with that! it kinda sounds fun to be honest." i say, and it really does sound fun, fake dating my crush? of course im going to accept. but... its obviously all a game, and i wont let it get to me anymore than that.

"wait, actually?" he says practically jumping onto me.

"yeah!" i say as he grabs under my arms lifting me, also spinning. "omg, i love you so much stella! im so lucky to have you as a friend." he says setting me down. "yeah, a friend, uh- you too!" i say looking back up at him. chris kisses my forehead. "thank you stell, really." he says. "of course chris." i say smiling.

i guide him to the door, wondering what will happen next.

"bye!" we say at the same time. we both smile. "what time do you get on the bus?" he asks me. "5:42." i say, being one of the earliest people to get picked up. "damn." he says shaking his head. "well, sleep in, ill be here at 6:40." he says getting back into his car.

as chris drives off, i jump up and down, with a wide smile on my face.

-----

Monday, November 24th, 6:00 am.

DING DING DING

"oh, shut up." i say to my phone, clicking the dismiss button. i slowly sit up, and see the time. "6:00?! SHIT!" i say jumping out of bed. i remember that chris is picking me up in 40 minutes. "damn i was scared to death for a minute there." i say to myself.

i slowly look through my closet, and see the necklace chris got for me last year on my birthday, what a great way to start off our relationship.. our fake relationship. i suddenly feel upset, but keep pushing because i cant miss school. i find an old pair of jeans, and a blue striped sweater. "this will just have to work." i mumble to myself slowly getting dressed. i throw on simple makeup, and go to my kitchen pacing back and forth with the fridge open not being able to decide whether to eat yogurt, or a granola bar.

i ended up picking the yogurt with granola on top, a great way to compromise. i finish with 15 minutes left. i drink a cup of milk, scrolling on tiktok trying to distract myself from the situation im in. then, i hear a ding.

[Chris:

hey, im here!

[ Stella:

omw out :)

----

i start to panic, and remember its just chris, my bestfriend also my crush.. nothing else. i walk out of the door and see him leaning against his car, opening the door. "chris what are you doing.." i say smirking, shaking my head. "opening the door for my girlfriend.. duh." he says with attitude.

"how did you sleep?" he says, starting to drive off. "good!" i say back enthusiastically. "how about you?" i ask in response. "i slept good." he says smiling. "so how are we going to do this?" i say with a tone that expresses my confusion. "i guess we'll walk together in the halls, and hold hands?" he says looking over at me for approval. "yeah, that sounds good.. uh, do you think anyone will catch on?" i say. "i mean its very possible, but weve known eachother for so long so it kinda makes sense." he says trying to focus on the road. "yeah, true. can i play music?" i say. "yeah! connect to bluetooth." he says pointing to the cars screen.

i connect and start my playlist. i wanna be yours by arctic monkeys play and i stiffen up, feeling nervous because of the song. chris starts to mumble along, grooving around. i assume he can feel the energy in the car shift.

----

as we arrive to school, everyone turns their heads watching chris open the door for me, and helping me out of the car. i step out, and he grabs my hand. "you okay?" he says. "yeah, this is kinda nice. you know, being to hang out more?" i say as we approach the door. "yeah, i agree." he says smiling. i see phones out, which isnt surprising because of the triplets job, their will be rumors, and hate going around soon enough.

chris walks me to my first hour, and slightly pecks my on the cheek. "see you soon, stell." he says smiling. "bye chris." i say getting butterflies.

A/N:

miss americana & the heartbreak prince

PART 1

PAIRINGS - rafe cameron x thornton!reader , topper thornton x sarah cameron

WARNINGS - fluff , swearing

1 | 2

•••

everyone loved tessa thorton. she was perfect. from her long blonde hair to her perfectly painted toes. anyone on the island would agree. especially rafe cameron.

ever since she was 5 he knew he was in love with her. the way she would chase him around in their shared backyard or sit by him at their family dinners every sunday night. they were around eachother quite often, with topper being rafe's best friend and tessa being topper's twin sister. sometimes rafe would even convince tessa to hang out with just him.

rafe was almost two years older than tessa and topper, making him 17 (soon to be 18) and the twins 16. the three were all juniors because of the dates of their birthdays, meaning tessa and topper were some of the youngest in their class and rafe being one of the oldest. today was the last day of their junior year, and tessa could not be more exited for the first bonfire of the summer as the last bell rang. she met up with sarah at the front steps so they could drive home together.

"oh my gosh! i am so excited for the bonfire tonight! i already have my outfit picked out!" sarah squealed as the pair made their way down the steps. before tessa could respond, the brothers of the two stopped them in the parking lot.

"think we could get a ride, gorgeous?" rafe wrapped an arm around tessa's shoulder, but she was quick to remove it. "don't you have your own car?" sarah says as she wraps her arms around topper, pulling him in for a hug.

"yes- but it got towed after first period cause i may have parked it in the principals spot." tessa rolls her eyes at the taller boys response. "fine, but don't make my car a mess! and don't adjust the seats!" tessa points her finger into his chest, causing rafe to put his hands up.

topper groans as the reach the car, opening the back door for sarah. "think we could stop and get food? i'm starving." tessa rolls her eyes at her brother. "you two are very needy people." she says as she gets into the drivers seat.

"but you love us." rafe winks at her from the passenger seat. "just make it quick okay? i have to get ready." she sighs. "yes ma'am." the tall boy whispers, buckling his seat.

"what do you want topper?" she asks her brother, only to not get a response. "topper?" she turns around once she reaches the red light, seeing the couple in the back practically sucking each others face off. she mumbles a 'disgusting' under her breath.

"just go to the new diner on lilac road, i kinda want waffles." rafe replies for topper, pointing to where tessa should turn. "i heard that place was expensive... i don't think my parents want me spending that kind of money on a small meal." the blonde responds with a weary tone, causing rafe to laugh.

"don't worry, i'll sugar daddy you." he smirks at the girl, causing her face to distort into a disgusted look. "sometimes i wonder how you can't keep a girl in your life." she sighs dramatically.

"i know! i mean you'd think the ladies would wanna keep this." he lifts up his school uniform, patting his abs. "i was joking." tessa says through her laughs. "rude."

as they pull up to the diner, rafe quickly hops out, running to tessa's door to open it for her. "why thank you, kind sir." she says in a horrible british accent. "you should work on the accent." tessa's eyes roll with a cheesy smile on her face. that smile. the one that melts rafe in an instant.

before he fell into her arms and told her how much he had loved her his whole life he went over to the backseat and banged his fists on the window, causing topper and sarah to jump, fix themselves up and step out of the car.

"you two are disgusting." rafe sighs. "please, if you even had a chance with my sister you would jump on her in a second." topper whispers into his ear, causing rafe to roll his eyes and push topper off of him.

tessa walks up to the receptionist's table and tells her a table for four. "right this way." she says before she leads them to their booth. sarah and topper sat on one side, rafe and tessa sat on the other.

after they ate they all went back to topper and tessa's house to get ready for the bonfire- well, sarah and tessa got ready, rafe and topper just played video games.

tessa took a quick shower before doing her hair and putting on some mascara and blush. she usually didn't wear make up because her mother (and rafe) would always say that she was too beautiful for it, of course she didn't really believe them but she wanted to please them so she usually ended up with a small layer of lip gloss.

sarah was doing her hair and tessa was bored out of her mind, so she went down to the basement where topper and rafe were playing video games.

"watcha playin'?" she asked as she sat down next to rafe on the larger couch. "cod." he answered shortly, being too locked in on the game. "boring! let's play gta i wanna run some people over!"

"go do some girly thing, tessa. quit bothering us, we don't want you down here." topper quips at her from the other couch, staying focused on the game. "hey, i want her down here. we can play in a sec just let us finish this game." rafe assured the girl, causing topper to roll his eyes. he quickly tosses the remote over to the couch rafe and tessa are on, standing up and going up stairs without a word.

"bye then, asshole." tessa groaned as she picked up the remote. "now can we play gta?" she smiled up at rafe. how could he ever say no to her?

A/N - i hope you guys liked the first chapter!!! lmk what you think will happen at the bonfire 🫢🫢

Behind the Screen (Professor Gale x Female OC)

Summary / College was expensive, living was expensive, and Tessa’s parents had left her ill-prepared for the reality. Part-time jobs were difficult for her to keep with her school schedule, her major was crushing her mentally and spiritually, and with no other place to turn, she found herself profiting from less-than-professional means. However, it paid the bills and she never showed her face so it was foolproof. Never had she encountered anyone who knew what she did after dark…until she met the new Evocation professor. 

This idea floated into my head and will not come out. I would love to turn it into a multi-part series if anyone is interested! I know it isn't my usual ACOTAR work but I wanted to explore this new obsession! This is a kind of “modern” BG3 universe where magic, the absolute almost takeover, etc., are still the same but in a more modern setting! Obviously this will have smut so you have been warned but I will include content warnings at the beginning just in case! I hope you all enjoy! This chapter is a little short but I wanted it to be sort of an introduction to the story! <3

WARNINGS: 18 +, Cam Girl Activities, Paying to watch, Mutual Masturbation

AO3 Link

Chapter One: Lights, Camera, Action!

The music is slow and low in Tessa’s room, the bass thrumming throughout her body as she slowly sways to it. She smirks tauntingly as her fingers dance over the most sensitive parts of her body, covered by flimsy lace that one of her loyal viewers had sent her a week ago. It was a rich purple, matching the intricate masquerade mask that adorned her face and kept her most tempting feature unattainable. 

“Gods,” She moans huskily, sitting in her leather office chair to face the camera before slowly spreading her legs. “This feels so heavenly against my skin, Gale. You positively spoil me….”

Her computer is the only harsh light in her room as the rest of it is filled with soft fairy lights. She watches the screen as he types, knowing it would be a long lengthy response. He had been one of her first customers during the whole endeavor and after a few months, Tessa knew all of his quirks. Well, at least the sexual ones. 

Tonight is another private showing for him. It was like clockwork, Sundays at 8 PM and Fridays at 10 PM. They would last at least an hour, sometimes an hour and a half, and would consist of her teasing him until she turned her taunts to her body. He had sent her so many pieces of lingerie and toys in the few months she had started that it was a little startling. Sometimes he wanted her to take the lead, doing what she liked, while other times it was a specific script for her to follow. 

Either way, she knew he would pay a generous amount of money for these private shows and even more on tips if she did a free live show. A small part of her always wondered what he was like, what he looked like, but she knew entertaining that would only lead to pain. He could be married and hiding this obsession or single and desperate. None were good options for her. 

But she was more than happy to entertain his fantasies for however long he would pay her. 

“You know I am to please, my darling. I knew the purple would look absolutely radiant with your skin. It is all I can do now not to finish too quickly for you, the vision you are. Perhaps we should move on to the main event, yes? I am painfully aching to see all of you again.”

A blush comes over her cheeks at his words, both poetic and yet so vulgar. From the way he typed, she figured he had to have some kind of proper background and be older. No man she had ever met that was her age talked like him. 

“Of course, my love.” She purrs, reaching over to her drawer to fish out a toy. Before the stream, she had debated which one to use as his taste seemed to change with the wind. However, there was one she could always trust would please him. 

It’s a rabbit toy, sleek black with a long and thick vibrator and an additional clit stimulator that sucks and pulses in time with the rest of it. She always has the best orgasms with it and had actually been using it when Gale first found her stream. Ever since it was one of his favorites. 

“A classic, dear. Show me how your pretty cunt can drench it…and keep the lingerie on.”

“Yes, sir…” She almost whimpers as she pushes aside the already soaked material of her panties, biting down on her bottom lip as the toy comes to life in her hands. It was like a Pavlov effect on her pussy as she feels herself clench around nothing, eager to fuck herself for him.

The toy slides with little resistance inside of her as the clit stimulator begins to work its magic immediately, her back arching as she moans. She can feel the urge to close her eyes and blindly find her pleasure rising but she forces them open, eager to see what her client has to say. 

After a few seconds, he begins to type and she can only imagine what causes the delay, her mind flickering to images of a faceless man stroking his cock to her body. 

“So needy, so wet.”

“I can hear that wet cunt over your music, naughty girl. Do I make you this wet?”

“Fuck yourself for me. Call out my name, let everyone around you hear you cry for me.”

“Fuck, Gale!” She whines as she picks up the speed of her thrusts, the movement causing her clit to rub against the nub perfectly. “It’s…it’s so deep and it feels so fucking good…”

Her breasts sway to the rhythm she has become a slave to, almost popping out of the lingerie as the chair underneath her squeaks from her shifting weight. She can feel her mask begin to itch on her face as she starts to sweat, itching to remove it just so it doesn’t distract her. 

Instead, she spreads her legs wider and throws her head back in bliss for him. 

“Oooooh shit, oh fuck me,” She gasps as she hears the computer ping rapidly. “Gale, gods, Gale, fuck me, fuck me!”

The dual stimulation is causing her vision to turn spotty as she hits her Gspot, her entire back coming off the chair as she goes faster and faster. She thankfully has enough sense to raise her head to view his chat, her heartbeat thrumming in her ears.

“That’s it, darling, such a good girl. Look at you squirm for me. Look at you degrade yourself for me.”

“I can tell you are close. I can see your thighs trembling with the effort to keep them spread, to keep that slutty pussy open for me.”

“Gods above, I wish you could see how much I am leaking for you. It is a mess that I would love to cover you in. A devilish, sinful masterpiece.”

“I won’t last much longer. I need you to cum. Now.”

His last message had only been sent a few seconds ago and she took it in stride, changing her position so that she was practically kneeling and fucking herself roughly. Tessa could feel the drool leaking out of her mouth as her whole lower half seemed to throb in need, the tingles starting to spread up her body as she felt her orgasm quickly approaching. 

“I’m gonna cum, oh gods, I’m gonna-” She couldn’t even finish the sentence as she did one final, harsh thrust into her cunt. It sends her over the edge, her hips mindlessly grinding down further into the vibrations as she clenches over and over on the toy. It felt like too much and not enough, her body craving something more. Something real. 

Gale’s name is the only thing she can chant as she rides out her high, one of her hands going up to squeeze and pinch at her breast to extend the pleasure. After a few moments, she starts to come down, switching off the toy with clumsy fingers and letting it slide out of her.

“Show me.”

She knew what he wanted. It was the same every time she finished. Tessa gives the camera a lazy grin as she reaches for the toy and holds it up, showing the shiny and creamy texture before she does the same to her pussy. 

“The things I’d do to taste you, sweet girl. A tempest of my very own. Thank you for the show.”

His words make her look away for a moment in shyness as if she hadn’t just given him a very risque show. She turns back to the camera and blows him a kiss, wishing him a goodnight before she ends the stream and shuts her laptop. 

“Wow…” Tessa murmurs to herself, taking a deep breath as she stands up on shaky legs. She reaches for her phone and turns the music to something more alternative, more her speed, as well as turning the lights back to their lighter color. 

And so begins her nightly ritual after becoming her alter ego, Tilly Tryst. The mask comes off and is safely tucked away along with the rest of her clothes and toys. She fixes her bed and lights her candles, heading to the bathroom to take off her makeup and anything else she wears for her job. It’s like taking off a costume for her, or maybe an actor coming off stage. 

The bath she draws is usually her favorite part as she bathes herself in lighter scents. If she cared to analyze, it would be abundantly clear that it was like she washing away her sins or her actions. However, that would mean moralizing her job and that was a road she did not want to go down right now. 

Her phone pings as her muscles relax under the water, reaching out to see who could be texting her so late. The notification wasn’t a text though but a deposit notification. Gale had left her another very generous tip on top of his private stream payment. 

Tessa wishes she had someone to talk about this with, to see if this was healthy or if she should cut ties with him. This entire cam-girl job wasn’t even something she wanted to be doing. It was forced on her…subject herself to this or drop out of college. She knew others would have done the same in her position. 

Blackstaff Academy is the best wizarding school on the Sword Coast. Plenty of wizards of considerable acclaim had gone here and she was determined to be one of them. Her parents didn’t support her in her endeavors though they had no problem when her brothers had gone here. It was a sexist ideology, a kink in their plans to marry her off to a family friend to strengthen their role in society, and they hated her for it.

Other wizards at the school had a support system, a childhood of magical nurturing that inspired them to become even greater, and money or assistance to pay. Tessa had a childhood of sneaking magical tomes from her father and brothers, a support system of only her grandfather, and no money to her tattered name.

This is her last resort and thankfully, it was supplying more than she needed. It not only paid for her books, supplies, and other needs, but also her food and her rent. She finally felt like she was on the winning coin of fate. The last thing she needed was her only source of income to stop, even if it might be a dangerous game. 

And while Tessa would never admit this to herself, let alone a friend, she got a small thrill from her work. To be anonymous and yet so fully exposed is a different kind of adrenaline, not to mention the attention. Especially from her favorite clients. It fills a void that she desperately tries to hide.

She felt needed, desired, and for someone who went most of her life feeling the opposite it was like a balm for her soul…even if the methods were a little unorthodox. 

The clock in her room chimes, signaling the late hour, and she sighs before hauling herself out of the bath. Her last “first” semester started tomorrow and by the looks of her schedule as well as gossip in the hallways, it was not going to be an easy one. 

Tessa wraps herself in a fuzzy towel and softly pads back into her bedroom, fishing out comfortable pajamas as she finishes her nightly routine. Doors locked, windows shut, curtains drawn, and most importantly her laptop was shut. The bed calls her name as she finally settles in and down for the night, closing her eyes and drifting off into a dreamless slumber.

🌼 Marabelle, Chapter 19

"I don't belong here ..."

Despite all attempts to regain her composure, Sophie’s shoulders continued to shake with sorrow.

"Sophie, my love ..." Liam gently wrapped her in his arms. "You need to calm down."

"Please, please ... tell me ... Is it true? Sophie's words came out with gasps of air.

Liam knew all too well that the truth about Barthelemy 's 'illness' would be revealed eventually.

His heart broke on how Sophie had found out.

Maxwell: Hey! It wasn't all bad. We made some pretty great memories.

Liam: Indeed. Though, I must say, the most memorable part was seeing your faces when you saw who I'd brought.

Leo: Wait… don't tell me you were on a date?

Drake: We weren't--! I mean, that is--

You take 1000 Lagrange points worth damage!

"Yeah, sure, whatever Manabu." - Tessa

I had a terrible time trying to parse this. Another strike on the already long list of crimes Otes has committed and can't be forgiven for.

I still can't believe that the end of Go Rush is near! I wanted to try and get this all out so that people could watch the last episode live with context.

We will be doing a normal release for the final episode. Hope you look forward to it!

In the words of one of the many Japanese tweets I've seen about the end of Go Rush -

"[When Arthur said] 'My fellow countrymen! Let us meet again!' I almost felt tears burst from my eyes. But we can still meet once more next Sunday [for Go Rush's last episode], so it's not time to cry just yet."

Herongraystairs 💔 Clockwork Princess Epilogue

•••

"Will’s eyes were closed, but Tessa’s were full of tears. Jem set down his bow, and came toward the bed, drawing back his hood, so she could see his closed eyes and his scarred face. And he had sat down beside them on the bed, and taken Will’s hand, the one that Tessa was not holding, and both Will and Tessa had heard Jem’s voice in their minds.

"I take your hand, brother, so that you may go in peace."

Will had opened the blue eyes that had never lost their color over all the passing years, and looked at Jem and then Tessa, and smiled, and died, with Tessa’s head on his shoulder and his hand in Jem’s."

The Very Hungry Cyn

[image transcript; the cover of the very hungry caterpiller edited so the head looks like the character Cyn from murder drones and the title edited to say "Cynterpiller"]

In the light of the moon a little drone lay in a marsh.

One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! 

Out of the pyre came a tiny and very hungry Cyn. 

She started to look for some food.

On Monday, she ate through one bottle of oil.

But she was still hungry.

On Tuesday, she ate through two mangoes,

but she was still hungry.

On Wednesday she ate through three ravioli, 

but she was still hungry.

On Thursday he ate through four key bugs, 

but she was still hungry.

On Friday she ate through five worker drones,

but she was still hungry.

On Saturday she ate through one piece of

Cutlery, one table, one James, one slice of Louisa, 

one slice of Katie, one lollipop, one Piece of Fruntlebucket, 

one dinner guest, one waiter, and one slice of Tessa.

That night she had a stomach ache!

The next day was Sunday again. 

Cyn ate through one nice ripe mango, 

And after that she felt much better.

Now she wasn’t hungry any more – 

and she wasn’t a little Cyn any more. 

She was a big, chubby Cyn.

She made a onesie, called Tessa, for herself.

She wore it for more than two weeks.

Then she nibbled a hole in the onezie,

pushed her way out and…

She was a beautiful monster!
