Mama Smiles And Smiles Junior - Swap au/What If part 2 (continued from Demon Mother, Angel Son)

[[MORE]]

Alastor finished fighting with his hair, smiling at his reflection. His caramel colored skin complimented his freshly pressed red suit. Now, in heaven, after so long, he'd been getting used to mirrors. The large clock at the top of the tower in the town square, oddly old timey and comforting, stuck the top of the hour.

Time to start the show.

"Alastor! Dere you are, love!" It was his spindly, spider friend Molly. In a group with herself, her mother, another woman, a cat angel, as well as a former exterminator who had been wounded prior to the most recent extermination, and their more saintly escorts; Emily and Sir Pentious.

"Apologies, everyone. I was purchasing some flowers for my Maman." He said, showing them a bouquet of red roses.

"Oh, how gorgeous!" Said Molly's mother, happily.

"Thank you, Mrs. Kathy, ma'am." He said, addressing her as always.

A sniff brought their attention to Sir Pentious, who was wiping his eye. "The love you share for your mother, it's so beautiful."

Alastor smiled at them. "Stop, I'm blushin'!"

Emily cleared her throat. "Come on, guys. We don't want to be late." The young seraphim lead the way into the building.

Down in Hell.

Angel was toying with his tie, wearing a suit - he wanted to look somewhat recognizable to his visitors, but he did wear heels. "Where da fuq are dey!"

"Easy, angel. They'll be here soon." Charlie said to the spider, ever the optimist.

"Yeah kid," Husk said with a smile, "they'll be here, heaven time." He chuckled at his joke.

"Yeah, they'll-" Vaggie was cut off by a knock pattern on the front door. "What the..?"

"That must be them!" Charlie rushed to the door, and when she reached it, she heard a conversation.

"-cut, and shave? Seriously, what da fuq, Alastor?"

"Well, pardo' me fo' makin' sure dat dey hear mah knockin', Miss Molly." It was then followed up with a slapping sound, "an' mah Maman raised me to no hit a lady, even if she don' stuc' firs', so I'ma hav' to ask tha' yo' don't do dat again. Don' want a bruise on mah her' face when Ah meet Maman again. No ma'am. Dat jus' won' do."

"Guys, come in, stop." Emily cut in, as the door opened.

The group was met with Charlie staring back at them, and Charlie was met with Emily looking at her with a nervous smile as off to her left, Sir Pentious had his hands on Alastor's shoulders while one spider woman who looked like angel was being held back by another, older spider woman. A cat and an exorcist looking angel were watching them and placing bets.

Charlie gasped loudly, catching everyone's attention.

"You all look so perfect!"

"Charlie!" Pentious abandoned the one sided scuffle to slither over and hug Charlie, who hugged him back.

"How are you? Oh, Emily! Hi!" The two hugged.

"Thank you for having us! I know this wasn't easy for you, all things considered." Emily said.

"Yesss. The hotel lookssss bigger than lassst I ssssaw it." Pentious said, nodding to Emily.

"Where are my manners, come in! Come in!" Charlie invited them in.

There was a moment where Alastor stopped Pentious and the other cat, one could just barely hear him say, "now fellas, we let dem dere ladies go firs', ya he'r, amis?"

Someone, the cat apparently, curtly asked, "can we fix his staff? Some people might have a hard time hearing him-"

"Oh, non ami. Ah lef' mah staff a' h'me. It wouldn'a worke' down her' non' anaway. Wha' wit' all dese fancy citah ligh's an' dose tel'o-visions." Alastor said, before letting the men go first before him. Entering last, he further explain. "Asides, Ah miss'd speakin' in mah Louisiana drawl. Is wha' mah Maman don' rais'd me wit' afta all."

The first sight they saw was Molly and Kathy hugging another spider male. their cat friend Tex moved to speak with another cat whose fur was primarily black and white instead of pale brown and white. Sir Pentious started sobbing as he saw a little egg creature, who was sobbing his heart out while running to the snake, who held the little egg close and saying soft words to it in comfort.

Their former exterminator was talking to Vaggie, both seemed to be engaged in a conversation with a lot of pauses. The other woman they brought with them, Yoko, was hugging a small cyclops - hmm, this must have been her "niffy daughter Naomi". Charlie and a short blonde man were speaking with Emily at the base of the stairs, as to what it was, Alastor knew not.

Hm.. that just left-

"Bonjour, mon petite bebe."

Aastor spun around so quickly that he lost traction and fell (thankfully the flowers were unharmed, not even losing a petal) on to his side on the carpet. Hmm, that's an interesting feeling..

"Oh! Mon cher, you alrigh'?" Lenora immediately went from a smile to concern as she helped her son sit up.

"Oui, Maman." Alastor said, quickly standing up to hug his mother without care. And the water works started.

"Oh, oh mom bebe! I've miss'd you! Oh so much!" Lenora held her son close, feeling her makeup running but she didn't care. Her baby was here! Oh, oh bless those who made this happen.

"Ne pleure pas, maman. Tout va bien maintenant. Nous allons bien." Alastor said those words often in life, and so he spoke them again when reuniting in death.

"Je sais, ma chérie. Tout va bien. Tout va bien." Words she had always said, again in life, were repeated in death.

After the two finished crying together for the first time in decades, they pulled apart. Lenora taking Alastor's face in her hands.

"Still such'a handsom' man." Lenora said, looking his face over.

"Maman.." Alastor rolled his eyes, smiling. He seemed to get his wits about him, and moved the roses up so she could take them, her having already seem them. "Ah bough' dese fo' you, Maman. Ah don' 'membered how much you don' liked ma'am Anita's ros' b'sh ou' pas' da bayo' afore da roa' ta town."

"Oh, th'nk you, mon cherie bebe." Lenora took the roses, and disappeared in shadow for a moment - something no one told her son she could do.

"Wha' 'as dat dere tric' she don' us'd?" Alastor looked to the others, gesturing to where his mother vanished.

"Oh, you poor, sweet river baby." Lucifer said, comparing Alastor's naivety to that of Jesus as his half brother had been coming up.

"Oh! I forgot! Um, Alastor, this is my dad. Dad, this is Alastor, the radio angel." Charlie ushered her dad forwards to meet her friend.

"Hello." Lucifer greeted, offering a hand. "Lucifer, King of all you see before you."

"Hmm.." Alastor, who's mother raised him to be polite and shake hands properly with the rich white folk as he did now, also had been raised in the same vain to be very blunt "Yo' don' lookin' differen', fro' da gl'mpse Ah'd don' se' in mah Pap's eyes when he don' be beatin' on me an' Maman."

Everyone got quiet. Did this dumb fuck of an angel know who he'd just spoken to like that?

"I.. I'm sorry about.. I mean.." Lucifer was unsure of what to say, pulling his hand away as though Alastor had burned him.

"Don' be mindin' 'im, sir. Mah boy 'as alw'ys be'na sens'tive so'l." Lenora said, appearing beside Alastor. "Is no wonda 'e wen' on up dose st'irs."

Alastor frowned at Lucifer, before being pulled aside by Sir Pentious to change the subject and introduce his cute, wee egg that he hated himself for leaving behind.

"So, you must be Alastor," began Angel as he walked over to the pair. "My name's Angel, though if yous know Molls an' Ma dhen you'd prolly heard my real name Anthony."

"Ah, so yo' don' be da fella dat dese her' ladi's be talkin' 'bout." He extended a hand to Angel with a wide smile like that of his mother. "Da ple'sure do be all'a min', sir. It do be min'."

Angel shook his hand, surprised at the thin man's strong handshake. "Uh, no need ta stand on formalities here, Smiles Junior."

"If'n ya'll be sayin' so." Alastor said, looking to see Tex teasing the other cat about something with Molly. "Ah hop' yo' do be pardonin' me, Angel sir. Ah wan'a see what dat dere h'llabaloo-in' be about dere."

Angel let him go, chuckling to himself, "what a freak."

Well, skipping ahead to the usual evening shenanigans:

Alastor and Lenora took over the kitchen before anyone could stop them.

The sounds of laughter, talking and jazz, as well as dishes being moved and the occasional sounds of water being ran were heard.

"What da fuq are they cooking? That smells so fuckin' good!" Angel said, turned around in his seat to look at the kitchen doors.

"Anthony Ricardo Alvarez! That ain't no way to sit in a chair!" His mother scolded him.

"Knowing thossse two, it'sss probably sssssomething overfilling with love." Sir Pentious said, ever the sap.

"Well, as long as Lenora keeps her cannibalism in check-" Charlie said, only to be cut off.

"Maman, je t'aime. Mais, bien sûr, comme je suis en enfer pour le moment, nous n'ajouterons pas ces pécheurs à ce plat ! Non madame!"

"I ain't sure what dhose two said, but I don't dink dat went over well.." Angel said, only to hear another bit of the conversation.

"Mais chérie, c'est une bonne source de protéines! Et de toute façon, vous avez besoin de plus de viande sur les os!"

"Ne m'oblige pas à t'interdire l'accès à cette cuisine! Je le ferai. Vous savez que je le ferai!"

"Oof! I've heard him say that before." Molly said, smiling.

"What'd he say?" Angel asked his sister.

"Told his mother he'd ban her from the kitchen. Told me that, as well as Mr. British Cornsnake over there." Molly pointed to Sir Pentious, who had been speaking with Cherri.

Angel snorted. "Of course he's British. Makes sense as to why a Louisianan would ban him."

"Pardon?"Sir Pentious asked, now looking over.

"Look, yous culture ain't exactly known ta be the most flavorful around da time us," he gestured to himself and Molly, "and probably Smiles Junior was comin' up. And, from how Mama Smiles cooks, I see it really."

As the snake mulled that over for a few minutes, in walked Alastor and Lenora - Alastor carrying a large pot and Lenora having another pot with a tray of fresh biscuits atop it.

"Oh ho! We get the good shit!" Angel said excitedly, seeing the pot - jambalaya with extra shrimp, rice off in another pot and handmade biscuits.. Angel could die happy tonight.

The night was full of jokes and playful jabs over a lovely dinner. Tomorrow, everyone would say their goodbyes. But, for the night, happiness and laughter filled everyone's hearts for the first time in a while.

Advent Day XI ~ Christmas Eve Will Find You @tabbyrp

"I know dis is da time of year ya make a lot of money an' stuff, but I really t'ink you should turn down jobs between now an' New Year. Spend dat time wi' us. An' if you gonna bring up havin' bills t' pay an' all dat borin' kinda stuff… I'ma suggest…you can move into our buildin'…any one of da apartments. Except da one where Carl live, obviously." She laughs at that which causes the masseuse working diligently on her shoulders to pause. "But like for real…if not one of da downstairs, den you could move into our apartment. You know we have empty rooms inside it jus' gadderin' dust. Or we could have Andy call in a team of contractors an' fix up da six floor jus' for you, custom-like. Considah it early Yule present." They are taking a spa day, mostly because the last time Tabby hugged her, she mentioned she could bend steel across Beth's shoulders with all the tightness and tension in them. Andy is also remarkably similar be he'd never allow anyone but Beth or his significant other to get close enough to touch him in anyway that would leave him remotely vulnerable. But that isn't really the point of all the pampering. Beth knows Tabby works harder and is more self-sufficient than anyone she can imagine, including her brother. She knows Tabby doesn't talk about the things that worry her, and that she is too stubborn to admit if and when she needs help. She's never wanted to be seen as someone who would take advantage of any of the Rileys, the only one for who she has spite being the clan patriarch. And that makes Beth all that much more adamant about wanting Tabby to give in. To give herself a break. To be a part of the family that's already embraced her heart and soul; her brother who loves Tabby, Beth who thinks she's one of the greatest friends any of them have ever had, and Jay who loves Tabby like a sister. The three of them have talked it out at length, the pros-a list too long to know where to start- and the cons -the only one they could come up with is how quickly Tabby might come to hate the various amounts of sibling rivalry- and everything in between. Jay even proposed to write up something a lot like a combination roommate agreement and pre-nup, if that would make her more agreeable to the arrangement. "Now, I don' expect you to answer righ' now, or even at suppah tonight. But promise me you'll t'ink about it?" She doesn't realise how much like Andy she sounds like just now except her tone is even, hopeful to a degree but with a softness that says she'll drop the subject. Heated stones are set along Tabby's spine, letting the soothing warmth penetrate skin and muscle. Her own masseuse then picks up a bowl of seaweed and mineral paste and begins to paint it in long strokes from the stones outwards to Tabby's ribs. "So, once we're done here…an' we still have pedicure an' manicure, diamond dust facials, an' den mud ba'd waiting for us, we'll take lunch in midown, den go last minute shoppin'. Regardless of if you take up da offer, we'll have a space for ya in da Tree cuddle puddle aftah Midnight Mass. He makin' buttermilk pancakes in da mornin' an' den sausage an' bacon an' fresh squeeze orange juice before we get to open presents. An' of course, stayin' for supper, too. One of da kine we'll be doin' is makin' plans for New Year's Eve. Normally we do our rounds of wha'ever charity ball goin' round but dis year, I t'ink we'll be sendin' in cheques in our r-s-v-ps an' spend quiet night in. I don' remember last time we did dat. Should be novel. Watch Ball drop on da television, maybe play some board games or do a puzzle." The masseuse finds a tender spot on Beth's neck and for a moment her eyes flutter and half close as she moans in a sensual fashion that less than a handful of people can ever claim to have heard.

"Or we could jus' stay heah, f'evah."

Code: Too much Alcohol - Ch2

Pre-movie

Megamind, Minion, Roxanne - Megamind/Roxanne (hinted at) Drama/Angst/some humor - R (for alcoholism, cursing, sexual tension/thoughts)

When Megamind’s most recent plan fails miserably, he seeks to getting drunk to try to wind down. Hopefully he can stay sober enough to stop himself from making a mistake that he might live to regret.

(Chapter 1)

——————————————-

Remarkably Megamind was able to make it unscathed to Roxanne's 7th floor apartment balcony. Maybe it was the fact that he was basically on autopilot, just going through the motions of this particular drive/flight he's made a million times. It also helped that he was emotionally fueled and, thus, determined to speak his mind and reach his destination.

He put the motorbike in park and turned off the engine (thankful that he had installed a few mufflers a week ago to keep it nice and quiet). He then quickly made his way to Roxanne's glass sliding door and tried to open them.

"*Aggrevated sigh* of coursh da damn thing's locked. Easy fix!" Megamind pulled out his De-Gun and shot the lock. The lock disintegrated while the handle fell off and made a loud crashing sound on the floor inside the apartment.

"Pffftt...oops! Oh well!" Megamind giggled and slid open the door while trying to keep his steps straight as he walked in. The more he concentrated on his footfalls, the harder he started laughing. Even though he came in with serious intentions, everything suddenly seemed hysterical and he just couldn't calm himself down.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing here?!" The overhead light suddenly came on revealing the real Roxanne Ritchie looking extremely pissed with a baseball bat gripped tightly in her hands.

"I'ma comin' to tell yer stupid face dat you are a bitch and I am absolutely in wuv--" Megamind drunkenly started to reply but was cut abrupt as his face started to turn green with his stomach trying to come up his throat.

"*CanIuseyerbathroom!" Megamind blabbed urgently and quickly covered his mouth as he started to panic. [*Translation: 'Can I use yer bathroom!']

"Absolutely not! You'll have to get through my bat to step any further into my apartment," Roxanne replied agitation filling her voice as she held the bat tighter and got in batting stance.

"Please--I feel--sick--*gulp*-bath--room..." Megamind's face somehow amongst all that blue turned very green and he began to worry that his insides were going to be all over Roxanne's floor.

Roxanne realizing that he wasn't trying to pull some kind of trick, lowered her weapon and replied, "Umm okay...It's on the--"

"---anx!!!" Megamind whooshed past Roxanne and made his way to her lavatory, slamming the door, and immediately began retching.

"--the right....yeah..." Roxanne stood dumbfounded watching the door close. What the Hell is going on here? Matter of fact, what the Hell am I getting into by letting him further into my apartment? Seems something--*more throwing up could be heard*--is clearly wrong here. Is he sick? Wait, do aliens even get sick? Drunk? Seems possible...Maybe this is a good time to get in some deep questions? I mean he is disturbing me at an un-Godly hour and I'm helping him by letting him--*more tossing of cookies can be heard*--well, do "that".

Megamind felt miserable. The long ride over here must have sobered him up so he no longer felt giddy and calm. He physically felt sicker than a dog as he leaned into the toilet breathing hard. He could feel his emotions whelming up within him as was he pummeled by all the strong thoughts and he feelings he remembered from earlier at Evil Lair.

What the fuck is wrong with me?! I'm not like this...When did I become an animal?...I mean, I am evil, but I do have morals...How could I have even began to think that Roxanne was trying to trick people--well, me--by the way she talks or moves...This is Miss Ritchie we're talking about! She's professional and the most smartest person I've ever met. She'd never sink so low as to use her womanly ways to get what she wanted. Hell she'd just as quickly kick someone's ass if she even got a whiff of them trying to take advantage of her...She's not an object or prize to be won...Oh, Evil Gods, what was I thinking???

He began puking violently as His mind started to feel muddled and tired. The alcohol and exhaustion from the day finally started to catch up with him as he forgot where he was.

I'm just glad that I'm still in the Lair and not off doing something stupid. Minion, as always was right--shit, I said terrible things to him...*Sigh* I deserve this. I can't believe I was acting like such a fool and thinking like a creep. Not only that...He grabbed his mouth as if to hold back a sudden sob then continued thinking, Miss Ritchie...why would I think she'd want to be with m---

"Uhh...you almost done in there? It's 3am and some of us have to go to work in the morning..." Roxanne was starting to get annoyed and had no interests in letting someone (especially an evil villain) make vomiting noises to keep her up all night.

Megamind did not respond.

"Well, I'm coming in. I really don't want you in there all night..." Roxanne said assertively.

Megamind incoherently moaned not really to anyone, just mostly because he felt awful.

"Let's get this over with," Roxanne said to herself taking a deep breath. She opened the door to find Megamind sitting on her blue bath rug with his large head between his knees. He appeared to be staring at the ground with his eye lids half closed, looking the most defeated she had ever seen him.

"Are you alright?" She asked, not being able to help herself. Something is way of here. Villain or not, I'm going to have to assist him I want to get him out of here.

"Oh SHIT! Where the hell did you come from?!" Megamind answered with full panic in his voice and bloodshot eyes almost popping out of his big, blue head as he backed up into the corner where the wall and bathtub connect.

"Didn't you hear me call from the door?---erm, nevermind..." Roxanne after fully seeing the horrible state he was in, looked away feeling her face blush with embarrassment. She'd never seen him so...vulnerable...His face was a deep hue of purple (no longer green, thank God) and he was gasping like a man who just finished a marathon. He reeked of sweat, alcohol and sick. This whole ordeal was so unlike Megamind that it made her very nervous.

"I'm at your apartment *deep breath* aren't I?" Megamind replied pitifully and looked at the ground again as he tried to regain control of his breathing.

"Yup..." Roxanne looked around the bathroom trying to look anywhere but at him. This was the first time she'd been stuck in a situation like this with her usual kidnapper and she really wasn't sure of what to say or do.

"I'm sorry..." Megamind mumbled very quietly under his breath but sounding very loud in the silent apartment. He felt so gross about himself that he wasn’t even mad he let that bit of feeling slip.

Roxanne was completely shocked. There's no way she heard the words "I'm sorry" come out of Megamind's mouth. It just wasn't possible! He's never been sorry for anything as far as she knew.

Thinking against her best judgement and acting spontaneously, she replied, "Ummm...yeah, so you maybe want to call a truce for tonight?" She walked slowly toward the Evil Genius and held out her hand.

Megamind looked up at her eyes, slowly understanding what she was saying, making sure this wasn't some kind of trick. He then focused on her hand where he replied in a disconnected voice, "Yeah, sure..." He took Roxanne's outstretched hand and slowly stood on his feet while she tried to help steady him.

"So...you can sleep on my couch for one night but after this, you owe me," Roxanne stated as she let Megamind lean against her and they began to exit the bathroom.

"Yeah, yeah..." Megamind answered with sudden aggression. He could feel his hangover becoming a headache very quickly, making him feel very irritable. Maybe it was the close proximity of Roxanne’s body, but some of his anger from how she acted during the failed scheme earlier that day came back to him. His mood swings were really starting to piss him off too. Usually he was in control of this mess but here he was being manipulated by it.

"Hey, no need to be like that! I'm helping you out here. I mean I'm not the one puking in your home while you're trying to sleep!" Roxanne started to think she should just throw him out on to the balcony. Instead she continued to help lead him to the couch with an arm around his slender body.

"Pshh," Megamind rolled his eyes and huffed.

When they reached the couch, Roxanne heaved Megamind toward it. "There! You better be gone in the morning." She left him to go to open a closet in the hall, where she grabbed a blanket, slammed the door shut, and continued on with her demands from earlier, "I also expect you to fix my door and up my 'Frequent Kidnapping Card' benefits."

"Yeah, sure, whatever. It's done," pouted Megamind as he crossed his arms and glowered at her.

Roxanne tossed the blanket at him and replied with annoyance, "You can be really childish you know. I mean did you really just come here to tell me that I'm a 'bitch'?" She hadn't forgotten that outburst and had truly wanted an answer since she finally had his attention.

"Well...you are one," Megamind muttered under his breath and turned away from her to stare angrily at the wall. He was still feeling frustrated with her, himself and just...well, everything. He was done trying to mask his feelings and just decided to go with it. I mean, she was already upset with him and he was in no mood to try to right things.

"Oh, come on! What is this about?!" Roxanne just had it. Fuck this stupid attitude of his. I deserve some answers since he's the one that barged in on me. Surely he had a better reason to come and bother me while wasting my time to berate me...An idea suddenly came to her.

"Wait, is this about today's 'super successful plan' because you cannot be mad at me about that. It was your stupid scheme that didn't work and had nothing to do with me." She could feel heat rising in her cheeks and it felt good to let off some of the steam she's been building up for a few days. Of course that's what this is, just his fucking hurt pride. So predictable!

Megamind then slowly turned to face her. His long, blue face looked no longer angry, just sad. She couldn't stop staring his big, emerald eyes that appeared to hold so much pain. Where did this come from?...No, no! I'm not falling for that. He captured me at a very inconvenient time and I can't help that his plan was really, really bad...But why...why does he look so sad? Surely a villain wouldn't show this much sadness even if they are having an off night...

"You're right..." Megamind replied honestly and began to pull the blanket around his lean body as he laid down across the couch. "I'll be gone in the morning and will make all the arrangements to meet your demands. I respect your hospitality, Miss Ritchie." He turned away from her and prepared to try to go to sleep and relieve his aching giant head. I've just got to end this. Once I get some sleep, I can make up some story to explain myself. Right now...I've got to stop this pounding in my brain.

Wait! What the Hell was that?! Now he's admitting to being wrong and thanking me again? I just do not understand...Roxanne thought as her mind began to race with questions and utter confusion. It's got to be the fact that he was drunk. He's showing me so many emotions and sudden kindness...I just...I feel bad for him. I don't know how he did it but I do...

"Look, I'm sorry to for today," She replied truthfully.

Megamind slowly glanced over his shoulder at her giving her an interested look that said "continue".

"It's just...I've got other things going on in my life right now that's made our arrangement, or whatever it is, difficult..." Roxanne hesitated as Megamind set up suddenly with a wince and turned to fully face her. His green eyes glowed with surprise and hurt. Roxy, you know you shouldn't be doing this. I'm basically giving him the deets of a super secret project that literally involves him. He can't know or everything will be ruined...I've got to be very careful here...

"You mean, you're replacing my epic battles with Metro Mahn with something...else?" Megamind inquired sadly. He couldn't believe it. He laid back down on the couch and started to focus on his thoughts. This has to be a bad dream...It's just the lasting effects of the alcohol playing tricks on me, right?

"No, no, it's not that at all. What I'm working on is just a really complicated side project. It will in no way effect Metro City's top story which will always be you and Metro Man." This was the best answer that she could come up with. It was a partial lie but it was the best she could come up with hoping he wouldn’t begin barging her with questions.

"It's just been draining to work on and has made me irritable...Even my co-workers have commented on it, haha. But I can assure you that it's almost done and everything will be..." Roxanne stopped as she noticed Megamind had fallen asleep. Phew, thank goodness.

She noticed that part of the blanket had fallen off him and as a reaction fixed it.

"....you're not a...bitc...." Megamind mumbled sleepily as he drifted off into a deep slumber.

Roxanne smiled at him and watched as his face relaxed. He looked so peaceful lying there with a strange presence of innocence around him that confused her. If someone was to see him now, they would never that he is an evil vilian... Megamind smacked his lips and lightly licked them as he stretched and rolled his body away from her.

She felt her heart betray her as it fluttered at the sweet sleeping scene before her. She could feel her cheeks blushing as she quickly looked away thinking, Well, this has definitely been an interesting night, morning actually, haha...Maybe he's not all heartless after all?

With the crazy events of the late night/early morning seeming to be at an end, Roxanne went back to her room and immediately fell asleep.

——————————————-

Roxanne awoke that next morning with a jump. Everything that happened last night came flooding back to her and she quickly made her way to living room to check to see if it was all real.

Megamind was not there nor was his motorbike.

That couldn't have been a dream?I know it happened.

She looked on the couch and saw that a note was left for her on a folded blanket:

Miss Ritchie,

I do not remember what happened last night but I know that I owe you a new door. I hope that I did not ruin our relationship and as a free heads up, I will be planning the next kidnapping on Thursday. Hope that makes it up to you a bit.

ϟ M ϟ

Roxanne smiled and laughed to herself. Well, I guess this will have to do.

*~END~* (Chapter 1)

Transfer Windows and /r/LiverpoolFC: A Survival Guide via /r/LiverpoolFC

Transfer Windows and /r/LiverpoolFC: A Survival Guide

In February 2001, the European Commission reached a compromise agreement with European football leagues that prevented clubs from cherry-picking the best players from other clubs mid-season. Prior to the 2002/03 season, clubs could sign players all the way up to March (e.g. United signed Cantona in November of 1992). From 2002, clubs were limited to two fixed periods per year (a month in the winter, and two in the summer) rather than a near-year-round free-for-all. As a result, the transfer window has become a biannual tradition involving mass displays of anticipation, delirium and, in the case of Liverpool, various kinds of references to male genitalia.

The start of news and fan discussion about an player movements during transfer windows depends inversely on the team's performance leading up to the window. In other words, the poorer results have been, the more eager fans are to blame the players (e.g. quality, form, injuries, fit), and the keener the daily rags are to kindle transfer talk and provide them with wish fulfillment ammunition ("HAMSTRUNG HAMMERS CHASE CREAM OF CATALAN INIESTA").

This behaviour is largely driven by the prevailing wisdom of the modern "we are in the business of results" world of football that if the problem is results then the business must be "even more players." While, like everything in football, this is only 50% true, you will find many fans convinced that their team is one or two purchases away from promotion/establishing themselves/the top 4/winning the league/conquering Europe. Smelling the sweet scent of click-bait, journalists and particularly, strangers on the internet with access to social media and concerns about their self-worth, will attempt to guess what football clubs probably want to do with your money and your feelings. This is, in fact, also 50%, but I won't tell you which 50%.

By the close of the window, unsurprisingly, clubs will sign a few players and sell a few to balance the books. Once in a Blue Moon, a club will have a massive clear-out with a spending spree to follow, and just as often, that club will have a barren window with as many signings as a Stephen Hawking book tour (I love you Stephen, please don't give me a Newtonian demonstration; of a bullet, its mass and its acceleration). Clubs normally set expectations via journalists by announcing the size of the gaffer's war chest, as if he's some sort of sea-faring empire.

This summer, we've heard numbers ranging from £100m to £200m if factoring in potential outgoings. On the one hand, it provides fans with confidence that the club is trying to improve, but on the other, it provides ammunition for critics of club management should the transfer window not pan out as planned. Arsene Wenger, for example, is a master at not spending money that is apparently been available for almost a decade (2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010). This tradition of feigned excess has continued so long that Arsenal fans, widely cherished for their loveable #banter and self-deprecation, can often be heard amongst the lush birdsong in the serene park atmosphere of Ashburton Grove, calling out, "Spend some fuuuucking money!"

Then there are the ITKs (in-the-knows), an elite set of Twitter accounts that leak transfer and other club information from their internal source, a techncial term for whichever orifice of theirs contains the most bile or shite on a particular day. The term itself originates from football hooliganism, as those who were well-informed about and involved in football firm (hooligan/gang) activities and whatnot were considered to be "in the know." With a similar blatant disregard for human life, the modern ITK wages a brutal turf war with common sense, themselves and occasionally, the English language.

A cynic would say that we should shut everything off and out until September 1st (when the transfer window closes) and just see who the club has signed and sold to avoid having to deal with all the rumourmongers and transfer tattle. But that cynic is a joyless wankstain who:

doesn't read any of the article when it's posted on the sub but has to make a comment about something clearly covered in the second paragraph;

downvotes when they disagree with a comment despite that comment CLEARLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE DISCUSSION;

still thinks that FSG is the absolute worst because they are Yanks and don't care about the culture of a club that they themselves haven't cared about ever, and;

doesn't see the incongruity in wishing for a rich foreigner to buy the club while at the same time not wanting tourists anywhere near Anfield.

The true fan, on the other hand, has already worn down their F5 key, knows the transfer reliability chart by heart, and can tell you in great detail who Amadou, Di Marzipan, Rangnick and Ramy are. Their emotions are tied very closely to the daily news cycle, starting when they wake up and coming to a close as tomorrow's back pages are sent out at 10.30pm each night. Every quote tweeted out by AnfieldHQ (whose logo still looks like a stylised car to me) launches them into delirium or despair, whether it's about pain thresholds, supermarkets or the rides in Blackpool. Theses fans were made for the transfer window and the transfer window is undoubtedly made for them. Long may you suffer, so long as you suffer together.

True fans also have an inexplicable need to relate everything to penises, though this is not always restricted to transfer window shenanigans. "COCKS OUT LADS" and "NO LEAN, NO PEEN" are common refrains. Occasionally these lines get the seasonal treatment when a name-based pun fits: "KLOPPS OUT LADS" or "DIJKS OUT LADS" are more recent examples.

Some go further with TV quotes - "STOP, I CAN ONLY GET SO ERECT" - or talk of edging and violent orgasms. Maybe this is what happens when you have /u/_cumblast_ around. Or maybe it's just #penisbantz amiright, lads? You know, just lads being lads who maybe have some insecurities about penis size, relationships and their sex lives in what is often a senseless, fast-moving world (ha ha!) in which we have struggled to learn how to thrive because we might not have had valuable teenage experiences (omg right?!) to show us how to cope with our fears, anxiety and failures (lol). #CocksOutForFreudianDysphoria, amirite lads?

Speaking of the state of unease or a generalised dissatisfaction with life, let's talk about Blackpool, and more specifically, tapping up. The critical component of tapping dat footballing asset - talking to another team's player about financial terms and whatnot before their club has given the buying club permission to do so - is a grey area. There are obviously rules to prevent this, to prevent clubs from negotiating transfer fees down when they know that a player's head has already been turned. This is why they avoid asking for permission, because it usually requires a fee to be agreed up front. The secret to being happy that nobody tells you about is to just not get caught.

Of course, most clubs do a decent job of keeping conversations with agents and players under wraps and away from prying eyes so that the player's club doesn't have any evidence of their player being tapped up (even if they suspect it). Liverpool are utter, utter wank at this (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). The single-minded determination of this club not to learn from past mistakes is truly admirable.

After convincing van Dijk to ignore advances from Chelsea and City, the press then lauded Liverpool in public over this victory while the club dawdled and didn't make a bid. This is akin to having a wank right before sex with your dream wo/man or to keeping all of your clothes on the entire time you're in bed after - as though /r/me_irl, /r/TIFU and /r/CringeAnarchy were a football club.

By the time late-August rolls around, you will be glad for the football recommencing and some fresh air once you've clambered through the transfer window. We'll be able to go back to watching games, celebrating goals, moaning about decisions/injuries/rivals, harassing /u/HUGE_HOG about WILs, and generally bantering about our penises like proper lads do. Until then, hang in there, there's no getting of Klopp's wild ride.

And just for good measure, here's a quick 8 point survival guide to the transfer window and how to be a better person on /r/liverpoolfc:

Don't get caught

If the answer to the question or suggestion in your post is "no" then don't post it. If the answer is "yes" then post it, unless the answer is just "yes" in which case, don't post it

Be smart

When you are feeling depressed about our transfer activity, remember that you could have paid £45m for Anthony Martial or £30m for Moussa Sissoko and feel better

If you want to know what our line-up is going to look like next season with players we haven't signed yet, then just do it in your head

At the very least, take the weekend off from Liverpool news and transfer rumours; nothing happens on the weekend other than idle speculation. Use the time to craft an amazing hypothetical starting line-up in your head

New players probably don't need songs. In fact, we have plenty of players struggling for one already. I like the Gini Wijnaldum one though - that's a good'un. Do more like that

Here are the transfer window puns I'm aware of, for quick reference. I will add to this if you point me towards any I've missed:

Naby = not be

Keita = key to

Amadou = I'ma do

Dijk = dick

Mom

Shakes his head and looks away in disgust

REALLY?

Mom

He is the streets and if you wanna do this he's the only one I trust to school you.

Ight, but you tell him we only talk business and that's it.

Mom

I don't expect you to ever get over that and I am truly sorry.

Yea, I'm sure.

Mom

Excuse me?

INT. DINER - night

Jenaveve

Well, I guess your daddy did raise you right.

Smiles

I told you. You just about ready to leave.

Jenaveve

About 5 min more papi. That's ok with you.

5 min, sure just don't be any longer.

Winks

Jenaveve

Ok, so 10 it is.

Winks back

Yea, OK!!!!

8 min later

Jenaveve

OK Papi let's go. By the way what is your name.

Call me Tu.

Jenaveve

TU?? Like Tupac? You ain't black sweetheart sorry to tell you.

Oh shit. Nah. I know. We'll I'm Sicilian so technically I have black roots. But, Tu is short for TuCents.

Jenaveve

Oh, so you're broke huh.

Broke? No, I'm not broke. I have money. I'm not rich but I'm definitely not broke.

JENAVEVE

Explain for me this.

Remember when I told you how my dad is dead. Well, he had a life insurance policy. And since my mom is in prison it goes to me.

Jenaveve

Oh!! Why is this?

My dad caught my mom cheating on him with this dude name Trom and when my dad starting attacking Trom my mom shot him. They didn't have a good marriage I don't know why they were even together, to be honest. I then went to live with my aunt and her family in upstate NY but I didn't like it there so I emancipated myself shortly after so I wouldn't get stuck in some foster home back here.

Jenaveve

in awe

WOW!!!! That's sad. So, have you ever been in jail?

I have. I was released from Jamesburg just about a year ago, just before I turned 19. I did 14 months there and then went back for 9 more on a parole violation.

Jenaveve

Bad boy huh? How'd a cute boy like you end up living a bad boy life?

I guess it's in my jeans.

Jenaveve looks at Tu's Jeans

Whatchu looking at?

JENAVEVE

Seeing what else you have in your jeans.

Smiles

Oh really? Well, my apartment is right here if you want to see what's in these jeans follow me.

They enter Tu's apt J is sitting on the couch watching catoons

Josh

Tu with his arm around Jenaveve just looks at Josh as he walks into his room with Jenaveve.

Give me a few seconds' ma, I'll be right back. Make yourself comfortable.

Tu Kisses her on the forehead

Tu leaves the room

Josh

WHAT THE FUCK BRO?? SERIOUSLY? YOU GO VISIT YOUR MOM WHERE I KNOW YOU TALKED BUSINESS WITH HER BUT YOU AIN'T GONNA TALK TO ME? YOU JUST GONNA GO BANG THE WAITRESS?

My mom says hi.

as he hangs up the phone

Tu lights a smoke and then takes a bottle of whiskey out of the fridge pours a drink and then takes a sip.

Phone rings

Tu answers the phone

Price will be here Thursday morning. How does he know where I live? The fuck?! Oh well.

Josh

Josh gets up and walks out of the apartment furious

Tu enters his room and sees Jenaveve laying on his bed only wearing her lace panties. - Red Light Special by TLC is playing

Jenaveve, now kneeling on Tu's bed, moves to the end of the bed and grabs Tu by his belt buckle, pulls him into her, and kisses him passionately...................................................................................................................................................

Tu Awakes to Jenaveve sleeping on his chest and lights a blunt then heads for the kitchen

Josh Stares at Tu violently

Just looks over at J

...................Trom!!!!!!!!!

EYES LITE UP

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH................ That's heavy bro. In that case my bad bro...

As he taps on his chest with an open palm and shakes his head back and forth

Nah bro, my bad. I straight disrespected you last night. We straight?

Josh

Yea, bro, we good. I'd a done the same thing.

You know you were right. I definitely needed to release some stress.

Josh

Told you. How was it? She is, sexy.

As Jenaveve walks in

JENAVEVE

Yea, how was it?

Eh, I've had better.

Josh sipping OJ spits it all over the table laughing.

Jenaveve

Same here.

As she sits on Tu's lap and gives him a kiss

MAn walking up to the door. tall, dark skin, dressed street casual like an experienced hustler.

There's a knock at the door. The boy's just look at each other. The knocking gets heavier. Tu taps Jenaveve on the ass so she'll get up. He goes over to the door.

Who is it?

Voice

Open the door "O".

Tu opens the door

TROM

Look at you all grown up and shit.

Nice to see you to Trom.

They go into the kitchen. Jenaveve gets up so Tu can sit down and she sits back on his lap.

Oh, Trom, they call me "Tu" now. No more Big-O.

Jenaveve

Big-O?? Lemme guess You make the girls go "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Big OOOOOOOOO"

Laughs

Josh and Trom bust out laughing.

You tell me?

Jenaveve

Josh

Oh shit.....

Whatever! You still here sitting on MY LAP, so I guess it was good for you.

Trom

O.... Tu.... What the fuck is it bro..... O or Tu?

It's Tu. I hate that O shit. Anyways I guess my mom talked to you huh?

Trom

So, how'd you get that name?

When I was down state they used to call me "Two Cents" because I would always have to add my two cents to everything. Funny how that's a big no-no in prison but somehow not for me. So, since I've been home that's what I go by now.

TROM

Laughs

Yo, that's some true shit bro. I don't know how you made it out that way. Well, it was only Juvy, not real prison, but I guess that's your mom's DNA in you.

Pause

TROM

Yea ummmm, We can talk or you preoccupied?

Looks at Jenaveve

Why don't you go to my room for a few let the men discuss men stuff....

Jenaveve

I need to shower and head to work. Kisses Tu and heads out.

TROM

So, you guys getting into grown folks business now huh? First things first take this

Trom hands Tu and Josh a business card

He's my attorney. When you get pinched because of a snitch don't talk, just call him. He will bail you out and handle everything.

Now that that's out of the way down to business, there's a few things you should now for starters.............

MICKEY

Nice. Thanks bro. So, what's up you need to talk to me?
