The Sides Are Dorks, Part 389534

I was wondering why the Sanders Sides tag was trending earlier, and then I saw. the Video. Anyway, here's my thoughts while watching the new vid (in list format) bc I haven't done this in a while.

[it's gonna be LONG knowing me]

"I would never be caught dead in a bowtie" *cuts to when Janus literally wore a bowtie in canon*

"yeah and I deserve it" -> ha mood

"Wrong, I ate an entire bottle of melatonin gummies" -> Patton. Patton, no.

"I could switch to green tea, and I'll still be a bitch!" -> also mood

hey. hey why you do that. why would you say that. (aka: Roman is offended by the mustache comparison)

"Where is my ruler" -> PLEASE it'd be so fucking funny

Virgil really be like "WRONG! I use the tildas you faker" (/j) (/lh)

Patton starts listing off every appliance that has heat stuff and I cannot. I CANNOT--

^and then there's the fridge. what did Fridge ever do to you? where's the lorreee

"wholesome friendship" // "how many holes we talkin'" -> yeah that makes sense

"No, he's just not worth an attack" -> Logan sounds like he's thought about this before

Roman Unscrews Imaginary Lightbulb, reaction is a family-friendly version of "Listen here, you little shit"

"get him" -> Virgil hates that Anxiety so much

Emile Picani Joins the Ranks of Rat Man by Sleeping in the Buff. it's canon now.

"It's no one's business what bites me" -> Janus. Janus, the implications. Janus--

Patton reveals Logan's secret: Love for Donuts, feat. wiggly fingers

"Which is rude...because I am not young" -> also Sheldon is missing The Tie, which is essential for Serious Smart People (I guess)

Roman likes My Little Pony

"No, I didn't--" // "He did!" // "He definitely did." -> LMAO the Others confirming that Virgil had a meme phase

Ah yes: The Sponsor Section

Patton being like "some cookies are bad??" is funny to me lol

"--vaccuums" // "No" // "ignore that last one" -> goddamnit Patton (/pos)

"There sneaky people out there" *cuts to Janus*

Roman loves Barbie movies. Barbie Movie? whatever, he likes Barbie

"war against the evil cookies" // "wait--" -> haha. this is why I believe in Intruality so much

"I dropped another laptop in the toliet" -> another one?

conclusion: Patton and Remus are both accident-prone. an Intruality win. also they interacted for like, 2 seconds. another Intruality win

Sponsor Ends!

"ACTUALLY it was four times. bitch." (Sleep, basically)

okay but like. when the glasses are on the head, it's like they're invisible. I say as someone who loses their glasses, only to find them in stupidly obvious places. also mood

Virgil DEFINITELTY watched Patton do this for five minutes before he said anything

Roman is in love with his sword, Exhibit D

^(D is for--)

Logititties. that's all

Janus really said "wanna go, bitch?"

also: "I wouldn't be caught dead in a fish fight. I would poison you" -> ah, of course, a snake with style (/j)

"calculator is computer" // "that's technically correct, actually" -> where's the Logicality enjoyers when you need them

Roman Rage Quits at Roblox. also Insecurity

"bitch, I'm not that out there" -> this helps deduce the scale of What The Fuck Is Remus's Normal At

"True...or is it false?" -> he loves fucking with people, doesn't he?

"yeah" -> he sounds so resigned, nooo :(

Endcard Moment: Logan loves jelly-filled donuts

and that's it, folks! This was lovely. Silly gay personality traits.

[vamp-stamp-fics]

Eddie Munson hcs

Tags: Eddie Munson Headcanons, mostly fluff, Eddie lives!Au, some steddie hcs too while I'm at it, some inconsistency

A/n: some of these hcs are based off of my own experiences so enjoy that lol

Edit: here's some old hcs I have that I found lying deep in my drafts collecting dust lol

_________________________________________

One time in 9th grade screamed "hail Satan" during the pledge of allegiance

Has a childhood stuffed animal (probably a teddy bear) that he still has out of nostalgia and that he's too connected to it to let go of it

Had a pet fish when he was younger. when it died he cried and buried it in the backyard. You can still kinda see the watered down cardboard headstone behind the trailer

This man is gay and realized that probably around middle school

Literally cried when he found out bc he knew what would happen if anyone (especially his dad) found out

Uncle Wayne's the only one in Eddies family that's supportive

I personally hc that's why Eddie lives with Wayne bc his parents found out and kicked him out :(

When he's not playing dnd or hanging out with the rest of the group he kinda just tends to stay in his room and practice guitar. That or goes into the woods

Or selling drug's lol

Has an extreme fear of bugs. Literally screams if he sees a cockroach in the trailer as he violently stomps the shit out of it

But if he's with the kids or the queer quartet (especially with Steve) and there's a bug he'll just act all brave and heroic and kill it

"seriously Harrington, with that scream the neighbors gonna think There's a girl in here"

"yeah haha real funny Munson"

But internally he's just as freaked out

Eddie secretly kinda always wanted to have a younger sibling so he could teach them stuff he knew and get them into stuff he was interested in and that's why he absolutely loves his relationship with Dustin bc he's like the younger brother he's always wanted

was absolutely ecstatic when he meet will

Basically took the kid under his wing like he did with Lucas, Dustin, & mike (A/n: side note people need to bring up more about Lucas when talking about Eddie being mentor for Dustin & Mike cus he's also a part of hellfire club so goddamn I'm doing it)

He also encouraged will to wear his "will the wise" costume to at least one of the campaigns

Speaking of hellfire club-

There's this hc I saw on TikTok that I absolutely love that Eddie lost a bet to Lucas and had to wear a princess costume to a campaign

Makes me laugh every time I think about it

I just imagine Eddie with a deadpanned face as the rest of hellfire tried not to laugh Thier asses off

Also Erica decided that she actually liked going to the hellfire campaign and decided to go more often

Tho she won't officially call herself a member cus "hellfire clubs for a bunch of losers" lol

(this for the Eddie lives!au where Eddie just goes with Dustin instead of going and trying to fight the bats off. I'm still mad about that 😒) How Eddie met will was after the "earthquake" when the rest of the group are at Wheelers house and the California crusaders (argyles group lol) are back in Hawkins and there all hugging each other and just happy everyone's okay 👍

"but vamp Eddie is wanted by the police shouldn't he still be in hiding and not in the public eye" I THINK A MURDER SUSPECT IS THE LEAST OF HAWKINS WORRIES AFTER A EARTHQUAKE THAT DESTROYED THE TOWN JUST HAPPENED

Anyways Mike and Dustin introduce will to Eddie (someone pls write a fanfic of this PLEASE-)

Eddie sees alot of his younger self in Will

Like ALOT

Besides the fact They're both queer (will didn't say shit about that btw, Eddie just knew) they're both seen as freaks and have similar interests with dnd so when Eddie and will learned more about each other and realized they had more in common

Steve & Dustin 2.0

obviously Eddie doesn't just sweep Dustin under the rug now that wills there but c'mon he can have 2 younger brothers can't he?

And Steves his bf he's gotta take care of their kid together/hj

Speaking of steddie Steve & Eddie kinda give off divorced parents taking care of Thier kid together and Secretly still are in love with each other but doesn't say anything to the other ab it

Eddie's also the 2nd person for Will to come out to and Eddie immediately accepts him

"I mean byer c'mon it was a little obvious"

"huh?"

"you're kidding right? I see the way you look at Wheelers brother"

Of course Eddie doesn't tell anyone unless wills fine with him telling someone else

which let's be honest he probably doesn't want Eddie telling anyone else at least until he's absolutely sure how they feel about queer people. And even then will probably be a bit hesitant on telling the person WHO he likes (A/n: totally not projecting or anything)

After will comes out him Eddie decides to pull a switch a roo out of his ass and come out to will as well

"besides the fact that I also know how you feel, considering I swing that way too"

Will is absolutely shocked

Bamboozled even

Just :0

As if Eddie doesn't look like a walking Skittles ad

Tbh I might make a little fanfic of this scenario :)

Back to when Eddie gets introduced to everyone

Argyle thinks he absolutely fucking cool

"wow man that's a pretty sick jacket"

"you, like metal?"

"well Eden listens to metal so if she likes metal I say it's pretty cool 😎"

Eddie, argyle, & Johnathan are smoking buddies

+ Eden sometimes if argyle visits her

(I'm sorry but I love argyle x Eden sm. They're in a long distance relationship damn it)

If Edens with them Eddie talk ab different type of music they're into sense they have somewhat similar taste

I hc Eden prefers goth music (Siouxsie and the banshees, the cure, joy division, sisters of mercy, Bauhaus) but listens to metal as well so if she wants recs she'll ask Eddie

They all just hot box in argyles van

Anyways back to Eddie hcs

When he graduates (finally) he does exactly what he said he would do: flip principal Higgins off and run like hell out of there

Hellfire club + the rest of the queer quartet, and Wayne was there in crowd cheering him on

After the ceremony tho he was absolutely ecstatic

Wayne gave him the biggest hug out of all them

"I'm proud of you kid"

Nearly teared up when Wayne said that

Jonathan took a bunch of pictures

They had party at Wayne's trailer

Nothing too fancy but there was enough people to call it a party

He also has a pet rat named Ozzy

A/n: anyways these are all the hcs that I could pull out of my ass for now but I might update this post if there's more I can think of

[socks-pawn]

me when I accidentally pull up to an "updated 2 minutes ago" account..... bro I SWEAR it's not horny brain it's just curiousity.

anyway yeah big gay dnd fish guy. he's the most guy.

haha no worries lmao

And yeah, he's just so guy

[demigodsanswer]

Wait was Percy's dad actually lost at sea?

haha, probably not. He's probably was working on a fishing boat in Alaska, and was just on Long Island to party over the holidays that year Percy was conceived or something. Sally probably tried to reach out to him again when she found out she was pregnant, but he was already gone. And anyway, she wasn't particularly interested in moving to Alaska, so she gave up.

Maybe once Sally's book goes viral, she gets an email from a familiar name, that reads, in essence: "Hey, my wife loved your book. Your name seemed familiar, so I looked you up. We met on Long Island in December of [YEAR im not doing the math]. Saw you have a son who is, oddly enough, twenty-seven. And he looks a bit like me. Whatever you want to tell me I'll believe, but I will ask once: Do I have a son?"

Percy doesn't particularly care about meeting him when his mom tells him about the email. "This guy is a fisherman in Alaska?" "Yeah." "Odds he voted for Trump?" "Oh, unfortunately probably high."

Percy does agree to a phone call with him after Sally tells him "yeah that's your son. His name is Percy." It's short. It's awkward.

"So, you're a dancer?"

"Yeah."

"That's cool. I'm fine with it."

"Your opinion on it means nothing to me."

"Are you any good."

"Yeah."

"Are you married."

"I have a girlfriend."

"I'm a bit surprised. With the whole dancer thing ..."

"A lot of male dancers aren't gay, but would it be a problem if I was?"

"You're an angry kid, aren't you?"

"I'm an angry adult."

"Well, don't let yourself get angry at that girlfriend of yours."

"I never would."

And then Percy's anger gets the better of him, and he hangs up. Sally is just sitting next to him, her face in her hands, and says "You did not bring your best self to that conversation, mister."

[unproduciblesmackdown]

also i cannot guarantee this but i could have sworn the Credits Vignettes in luca included massimo getting his tattoo redone so that the harpoon was twirling a very large forkful of pasta rather than spearing a sea monster

i do not see this, is it simply that you are a genius lmao b/c immediately i Know there's nothing better than that concept. sea serpent is now twined pasta........Yes

Happy Birthday to the Dark Cream Twins!

Ngl I had some major art block with this one. I knew I wanted to draw them but I just couldn't think of a pose or any idea at all. I feel like I could've come up with something more interesting but eh, I do like what I did but, yeah...

I do love drawing them. Not that often I get to draw girls haha. Even though I might be drawing girls more since I have another idea for a ship kid, don't know when I'm gonna make her but I'll get around to it.

Anyway, got off track a little there. Happy Birthday again to these two!

YOURE DOPE ASS SHIT HOMIE <3333 can i get uuHHHhh mutha fuckin tanaka x femboy reader ?

HAHAHA SAY LESS I NEVER EXPECTED TO GET A TANAKA REQUEST IM-

——————

Tanaka x reader - one date wonder

⚠️ warnings - reader is referred to as a girl unintentionally, by Nishinoya in the beginning. Don’t worry, I assure you this is a Male Fic. Ta-ho.

Pronouns - male, he/him

——————

If there was one thing Tanaka hated, it was pretty boys.

They were so over hyped. Just because they have a handsome face, all of a sudden they’re the talk of the town. Especially if they had a skirt on and whatnot. What happened to personality?

“Oi oi Ryu!”

Tanaka didn’t notice Nishinoya shoving a phone towards his face. He continued skimming through the Miyagi volleyball weekly magazine. “If I see one more article about that prick Oikawa I’m gonna-“

“Ryu!” Nishinoya practically slapped Tanaka’s head with his phone. Tanaka yelped.

“Hell was that for?!”

Nishinoya wordlessly held up his phone uncomfortably close to Tanaka’s face.

A girl with (h/l), boyish hair and a pretty pink skirt stood tall on Nishinoya’s small phone screen. The girl had cute (h/c) hair, framing her face as she posed with her hand flexed into a peace sign.

She was totally his type.

“Apparently she goes to our school.” Noya giddily scrolled through the girls feed, careful not to accidentally like anything as to not be caught stalking her page. Tanaka exhaled.

“Dude...if I ever see her I think I’m boutta simp.”

“Riiiight?” Nishinoya held down his phone screen to let Tanaka in on the girls social media page.

———

Walking into class the next day, he ran into a horde of girls surrounding someone in the middle of the room. There seemed to be someone in the center, awkwardly chuckling and trying to say something, but it was drowned out but the vociferous squeals or questions thrown at them. Tanaka couldn’t quite make out the person’s face.

Stalking closer, trying to subtly peek from over the heads of the girls, the person’s eyes slowly panned over to him. They locked eyes. Something seemed oddly familiar about that person. He couldn’t quite place it, though.

The person’s eyes lit up and they wadded their way out of the horde and made their way to him. Upon closer inspection, the person was handsome, and wearing the boy’s gakuran. It made sense, he was being crowded around a bunch of girls gawking at his pretty face. He immediately puffed out his chest and scowled.

“Oi oi! Got a problem, pretty boy?”

“P-pre...” The person, who he now knew was a boy, flushed and shook his head. “A-anyways! Tanaka-kun, can...”

“C-Can you meet me in the school courtyard after class!”

The boy bowed suddenly, making Tanaka falter and step back. He awkwardly coughed. “Uh-sorry man, do I know you?”

Of course he knew him. He was that one popular second year in class 2-4 that every girl was throwing their panties at. He found it weird that he wanted to talk to him out of everyone.

“My name is (L/n) (Y/n)! I’m-im in class 4 but I...don’t think we‘ve ever spoken before...”

“Then why do you wanna meet up later? Do you needa tell me sumthin’? Can’t you just tell me now?”

“No!” (Y/n) puffed out his cheeks. For such a high strung popular pretty boy, he was acting pretty fumbly and flustered. “I can’t say it here-!”

“Uh...ok...see you there...?”

“Thank you!” (Y/n) smiled, walking through the eavesdropping girls and out the door.

Tanaka wondered why he looked so familiar. Oh well, it’s probably nothing.

———

Tanaka picked at his unbuttoned school uniform, standing under a cherry tree in the school courtyard. It took him every single ounce of his body not to just up and leave.

His ears perked up at the sound of rapid footsteps approaching him. There stood this boy from before, doubled over and heaving in front of him. Tanaka shoved his hands in his pockets.

“So-what’ja need, dude?” Tanaka tried to sound as nonchalant as possible. (Y/n’s) head snapped up, and he stiffly straightened upright.

“This is for you-!” He averted his gaze as he outstretched a pristine white envelope to Tanaka with both hands, a cute little heart sticker sealing the opening flap shut. Tanaka blinked once. Twice.

Did a girl ask him to give this to him? Wait, why would this pretty boy who probably thought he was some ruffian scum randomly be giving him this love letter? Was he trying to make fun of him? Did he think that he didn’t get love confessions because he wasn’t a popular pretty boy like him?

“Oi, you tryna mock me or something? Tryna make fun of me pretending a girl wanted you to give this to me?” Tanaka puffed out his chest, tilting his chin up. (Y/n) paled.

“No! No! This-“ (Y/n’s) grip on the letter tightened, crumpling the smooth paper ever so slightly at the corners. “This i-is a real letter...f-from me to you, Tanaka-kun...!”

Tanaka blinked again. Huh? Huh?!

“I like you, Tanaka-kun! I know it’s weird because you don’t know me and I’m really popular and ‘wow why is this popular dude talking to me haha and why is he so awkward’ but I really wanted to tell you and-“

(Y/n’s) phone buzzed. He stopped in his tracks, and fished his phone out of his black school pants. Tanaka, even though he knew he shouldn’t, peeked over his head a bit, trying to see what was on his phone.

Powering it on, a picture of a girl with boyish hair and pink overall-skirt popped up on screen, holding up a peace sign near her eyes. That girl looked familiar.

Oh! That was the girl that him and Noya were fawning over the other day! Now that he thought about it, the girl and (Y/n) looked very similar. Like, very, very, similar. Same hair, same eyes, same everything...

That’s when something clicked in Tanaka’s head.

(Y/n) clicked out of his Home Screen and shot a quick text to someone on his phone. He pocketed it once more.

“A-anyways, sorry Ta-“

“Are you a crossdresser?!”

“Cr...” (Y/n) sputtered. Tanaka pointed bluntly at (Y/n), eyes widened in disbelief.

“No! No I’m not! I...why can’t I wear feminine clothes without being called a crossdresser...”

(Y/n’s) shoulders slumped over. Stagnant air surrounded them as (Y/n’s) nimble fingers dropped the letter carelessly, letting it flutter towards the ground gracefully.

‘Fuck. Fuuuuck. Me and my big mouth...’

Tanaka awkwardly cleared his throat. “I-I didn’t mean it like that! I’m sorry, man! There’s no harm in um...wearing that-! Shit, uh. How can I make it up to you?”

(Y/n) smirked. He slowly raised his head up. He held out his pointer finger.

“You can make it up to me by going out on a date with me.”

Tanaka deadpanned. Treacherous pretty boy snake. “Wh-“

(Y/n) clasped his hands together. “Please! Just one! And we don’t even have to hold hands or anything! After that it’s done! It’s just-“

“F-fine.”

(Y/n) looked up. “Really...?”

“I mean, it wasn’t cool of me to call you a crossdresser, so if it’s just one...”

“All right!”

———

The date went by like a dream. Even if Tanaka didn’t harbor much feelings for (Y/n), he still enjoyed eating free food.

Though, he couldn’t help himself from occasionally staring at (Y/n). Not because he had something on his face of anything,

But because he was wearing a a high-waisted black plaid skirt with a belt secured snuggly on his waist, with a slightly baggy baby pink sweater that looked comfortable enough to sleep in. And to top it all off, a small kitty hair clip pinning some loose strands of hair behind his ear.

He looked exactly like he did on his social media. Tanaka gulped.

Even if he was a guy, he couldn’t help but notice how his skin seemed to glow off the fabric of his sweater, or how his skirt complimented his body perfectly.

“U-uh, (L/n)-san?” Tanaka was trying to be as respectable as he could. (Y/n) stopped eating mid bite and waiting for him to go on.

“Why do you uh, pose as a girl on social media if you don’t want people thinking your a girl..? No offense, I mean? Just wonderin’, y’know.” Tanaka took a huge bite out of his food to occupy his running mouth.

“Oh.” (Y/n) pulled up his phone and booted up his profile on social media. “It says in my bio that I’m a dude. So, it’s kind of the persons fault if they mistook me as a girl, but I don’t mind if they do...! I think I look pretty...”

Tanaka flushed. Yeah, he definitely wouldn’t deny it. He was kinda cute when he tried hiding his blushing face behind his chopsticks. But he wouldn’t say it out loud. It’s like he liked him or anything, no. Definitely not!

———

Next day at school, Tanaka felt a strange sort of emptiness in his chest. It felt hollow, like he was coming off a high and dealing with the consequences. And he had no fucking clue why.

“Dude...I feel so depressed...” Tanaka slumped over a box in the club room, sighing dramatically. Nishinoya hummed while scrolling through (Y/n’s) profile, once again.

There was a sour taste in his mouth. Tanaka glared holes into Noya’s side, until Noya finally looked up from his phone.

“Dude, why’re you glaring at me-“

“Help me with my baggage I’m feelin’ depressed and I don’t know why!” Nishinoya sighed, before smiling widely and standing up with his chest out.

“Ok. Doctor Nishinoya here. What seems to be the problem, good sir.”

Tanaka snickered. It was Nishinoya’s turn to glare at him.

“So, I went on a date with this gu-, um, girl, and I only went because I promised, so now I don’t know why I’m feeling so sad.”

“Liaaar. Siiiiimp.”

“Shut up!” Tanaka barked at Nishinoya. “I’m tellin’ the truth here!”

“Well,” Tanaka gave Nishinoya a look to go on. Noya clicked a pen he found on the club room floor and adjusted his non-existent glasses. “Sounds like you caught feelings, dude.”

Tanaka sputtered. “I-I couldn’t have!”

“You totally could.”

“Could not!”

“You could”

“Not!”

“Why not, then?” Nishinoya crossed his arms.

“Because the person I went on a date with is a dude!”

Nishinoya choked on air. Tanaka covered his mouth. Noya sighed.

“Well, maybe you’re just a lil’ gay then.”

“I’M NOT!”

——

Ok, maybe he was. Just a little bit. A teeny weeny bit.

Tanaka found himself standing outside the 2-4 classroom, and he frankly didn’t know why. He didn’t know why he was so nervous too. He was really, really scared to go inside. But he wouldn’t show it.

Which is why he was leaning on the wall across from the door, with a scowl on his face and a suffocating, intimidating aura around him. Ennoshita walked out of the 2-4 classroom, before immediately being drowned in Tanaka’s scary presence.

“Jesus Christ Tanaka-kun, you scared the hell out of me!” Ennoshita rubbed his eyes. “Anyways, did you need something? Were you waiting for me or something?”

Tanaka’s face relaxed. “Uh! Actually I-I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing here, so I’m just gonna-“

“Tanaka-kun?”

Shit.

Tanaka slowly turned around. Standing in the classroom door frame was (Y/n), holding a bento and looking directly at Tanaka.

“Oh-! Sorry, sorry, please give me a second-ah-!” (Y/n) excused himself from his growing horde of female classmates, worming his way out of the classroom.

“What are you doing here?”

Tanaka’s mouth ran dry. Nishinoya’s voice rang in his ear.

‘Well, maybe you’re just a lil’ gay then.’

Fuck! Maybe he was. But fuck.

“U-uh...” A million thought went through Tanaka’s head, and went blank at the same time. It was the same feeling he gets whenever he looked at Kiyoko. The same tingly, warm, simp-y feeling.

Ennoshita looked between the two, before gasping in realization. “Oh. Oh! So-uh, I’m gonna...head to practice-Daichi said he needed me for something bye-!”

Ennoshita whispered a “Tell him.” in Tanaka’s ear as he walked by, then promptly disappeared behind a wall. Tanaka looked back at (Y/n).

“Um...h-hi...”

‘Fuck! Stop stuttering!’

Tanaka leaned against the wall, trying to seem as cool and suave as he could. (Y/n) put his hands in his pockets.

“Did’ya need something from me?”

‘Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.’

Shut up, Ennoshita! Tell him what, exactly? He didn’t know if he was even sure about his feelings or not.

“So...about our um...date a few days ago..” Tanaka also shoved his hands in his pockets.

“Ah! You’re here to tell me it was weird going out with a guy! Or that it was weird going out with a guy in a skirt! I’m-“

“No! No! Not at all!” Tanaka blurted out. (Y/n) let his mouth fall shut.

“I just...” Tanaka pursed his lips. “...Maybe we could, I dunno, go out on...another date.”

“Really?!”

Tanaka flushed and furrowed his brows. “Y-Yeah! You got a problem with that-!”

“Yeah! I mean no! I mean I’d love to go!” (Y/n) grasped onto Tanaka’s hands, squeezing them tightly. “Are you free this Friday at around 8?”

“‘Course I am!”

“It’s a date, then, Tanaka-kun.”

——————

Epilogue:

“No way your going out with her.”

“Him.” Tanaka corrected, pointing at Nishinoya’s phone. An image of (Y/n) holding up a cat he found on the street in an oversized sweater was on screen. “It’s a dude. And he’s my boyfriend.”

Nishinoya stopped walking. Tanaka raised his eyebrows.

“You’re such a liar, dude-“

“Tanaka-kun!”

A voice rang out, with growing footsteps approaching behind them. Both Tanaka and Nishinoya turned around, though with the dark moonlight it was hard to see who it was.

Someone wearing a skirt, tucked in shirt, and Karasuno jacket stopped behind the two. Tanaka smirked triumphantly what Nishinoya gawked, looking between his phone and the person.

(Y/n) smiled. “Are we still on for our date today? I know it’s kinda late...”

“Course we are, babe.” Tanaka smugly wrapped his arm around (Y/n), making sure Nishinoya saw. Noya’s mouth fell open.

“HOLY-WHAT THE FUCK! RYU, HOW’D YOU-“

“To be honest I don’t really know either.”

*KOTLC incorrect quotes*

Anyways, a long list of incorrect KOTLC quotes, feel free to use these for anything if ya want!

-

Glimmer: Arson? Oh, you mean "crime brûlée".

-

Fitz: Oh, so when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges, its “intelligent” and “really cool”.

Fitz: But when I do it, I’m “petty” and “need to let it go”.

-

Keefe, holding up his class notes: And then this doodle of a burrito because when I first read Aristotle, I thought it was pronounced like “Chipotle”.

Marella, in shock: Wait a minute, is it “Chip-o-tottle”?

-

Sophie: I wasn't hurt that badly. Elwin said all my bleeding was internal, that's where the blood's supposed to be!

-

Police Officer: You have the right to remain silent.

Marella: I choose to waive that right!

Marella: *screaming*

-

Brant (whoops sorry bout this one): Do not come over to my house. If the house is on fire you may knock once, if I don’t answer assume I set the fire and I want to burn to death.

-

Sophie: I would never say that my best friend is a bitch and I don’t like her. That’s not true… Biana is a bitch and I like her very much!

Lex, Bex, Rex: If I can't cause tiny bits of chaos every day, I think my body will shut down.

Keefe on Tuesday: *glues a dime to the sidewalk* Heh heh heh.

Keefe: Somebody moved my E.L. Fudges, and now I am going to run away again.

-

Tam: Your existence is confusing.

Keefe: How so?

Tam: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to you upsets me.

-

Linh: I've never encountered a problem that can't be solved by an spontaneous musical number.

-

Dex: Dracula had it right, sleep all day, live alone in a castle, and explode into bats to get out of all social situations.

-

Sophie: Fuck capitalism. It's a rigged system that keeps us poor and it isn't fair. You shouldn't need to work three jobs to afford basic necessities.

Sophie, playing Monopoly: Sorry, if you wanted to win you should have tried not being poor.

-

Dex, to Stina: If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will.

-

Sophie: My life isn't as glamourous as my wanted poster makes it look.

-

Dex: If I'm extra sarcastic with you it probably means I'm flirting with you or you really annoy me and I can't handle your crap... have fun figuring out which one, Wonderboy.

Marella: As someone who has a long history of not understanding anything, I feel confident in my ability to continue not knowing what is going on.

Tam: No returns.

Demon: *sobbing* But it's making me sad...

-

Dex: So, according to my university, it is, quote, “my responsibility if there is an internet outage to contact the faculty and the department.”

Dex: Now, if you’re a critical thinker like me, you might be wondering one thing.

Dex: HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO EMAIL THE DEPARTMENT?!?!?!

-

Tam: Hey, what’s the name of the other guy who lives with Tiergan?

Linh: His cats' names are Walter and Rose.

Tam: That's not what I asked.

Linh: That is all the information I have.

-

Keefe: Ro, remember when you said you weren’t going to interfere with my love life?

Ro: No, that doesn’t sound like me at all.

(alternatively, Alden)

-

Linh: Ayo, what the FUCK is this?!?

Tam, sitting down, surrounded by corpses: I won Mafia, that’s what.

-

Marella: I'd roast you, but my mom says you can't burn trash.

Marella: *slow-mo walks out of the room*

-

Biana: I'm gonna get my piolet's license. I've already got a driver's license and a cosmetology license, that's two of the big five licenses.

Biana: Driver's license, cosmetology license, pilot's license, fishing license, and… license to kill! I can't wait to get that one.

-

Dex: You are irrationally angry 365 days a year.

Fitz: Well, that’s just your personal opinion, I don’t have anger issues. Biana, do you think I have anger issues?

Biana: Well, I wouldn’t really call it an issue. An issue is something you can fix.

-

Keefe: So how’s the food Sophie made?

Fitz: It's great! Compliments to her.

Keefe: *goes to the kitchen*

Keefe: You're adorable.

Sophie: *blushes*

-

Biana: And now for a gay update with Linh and Marella.

Marella: Getting gayer.

Biana: Thank you, Marella.

-

Sophie: Hey, do you know the password to Keefe’s computer?

Biana: I love you, Sophie.

Sophie: Aww, that’s so swe—

Biana: No, you misunderstood, the password is "iloveyouSophie".

Sophie: Oh, no numbers? Not very safe.

-

Fitz: Hey, Biana, are you free on Friday? Like around eight?

Biana: Yeah.

Fitz: And you, Tam?

Tam: Umm... yes?

Fitz: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date!

Biana: Did he just-

-

Sophie: Do you cook?

Biana: I made a cake once.

Fitz: Yeah, it was good.

Biana: Really?

Fitz: Don’t make me lie twice, Biana.

-

Dex: Nice rock.

Keefe: Thanks, Tam gave it to me.

Tam: I threw it at you!

Keefe: Isn’t he the sweetest?

-

Juline: I just had a long talk with the triplets about hitting and now they are yelling “it’s my turn to perpetuate the cycle of violence” before hitting each other.

-

Sophie: I made you all playlists!

Sophie: Tam, yours has only heavy metal and punk, and is dark like your soul.

Sophie: Keefe, yours has sad songs and blues to pair with your crippling depression.

Sophie: And Biana has the ABBA Gold album.

-

Fitz: A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.

Biana: An optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel.

Dex: A realist sees a freight train.

Tam: The train driver sees three idiots standing on train tracks.

-

Mr. Forkle: For self defense reasons, I'm going to pretend to be a burglar and you guys have to act wisely.

Biana, Keefe, & Sophie: Okay.

Mr. Forkle: If you don't want to die, give me all your money.

Biana: Bold of you to assume I have money.

Keefe: Bold of you to assume I don't want to die.

Sophie: Bold of you to assume I can die.

-

Sophie: My life is a little too much panic and not enough disco.

Keefe: My life is a little too much fall and not enough boy.

Dex: My life is a little too much chemical and not enough romance.

Marella: My life is a little too much imagination and not nearly enough dragons.

-

Biana: What’s it like being tall?

Marella: Is it nice?

Sophie: Can you reach comfortably for the cupboards?

Fitz: We live in constant fear of the short ones who, in my experience, will climb four chairs, two boxes, a small coffee table, and six oddly placed stools to get what they want.

-

Stina: You have friends and I envy that.

Marella: You're welcome to share my friends.

Stina: *looks at Dex and Sophie*

Stina: I don't want those.

-

Della: Tommorrow's garbage day.

Fitz: I can't believe you made a whole day dedicated to Alvar.

-

Linh: Bottling up negative emotions is bad for your health, so you shouldn't do it.

Tam: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Linh: Th-that's not how that works-

-

Marella: Do you want to know your gay name?

Linh: My... my gay name?

Glimmer: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.

The Black Swan: Those are wanted posters!

-

Biana: Are you mad?

Tam: No.

Biana: So sharpening your knives at 3 in the morning is just a hobby?

-

Keefe: Astrology is fun because i can pretend that all of my behaviors are just a result of being a Gemini and not symptoms of mental illness.

Biana: Being a Gemini is a mental illness. That’s not hate it’s just a fact.

-

Biana: *on the phone* Hey Fitz, do you know my blood type?

Fitz: Of course, it's A+.

Biana: Oh, I guessed wrong. Excuse me, nurse-!

-

Fitz, to Sophie: Are you ready to commit?

Sophie: Like, a crime or a relationship?

-

Literally Anyone: Hey, aren’t you Sophie Foster?

Sophie: You a Councillor?

Literally Anyone: No.

Sophie: Then yes, I am.

-

Sophie: I typed "bitch" into my GPS and guess what? I'm in your driveway.

Sophie: Not what I meant, but cool.

-

-

Mr. Forkle: I’m not so sure you’re stakeout material.

Sophie: I’m a chronic insomniac, I was born for this.

-

Juline: I only have two emotions: exhaustion and stress. And I’m somehow always feeling both simultaneously.

-

Marella: *gets set on fire and screams in agony*

Marella: Nah, I’m just kidding. Fire does nothing to me.

-

Biana: Maybe the true treasure was friendship all along. But I hope not, because I can’t spend friendship on new clothes

-

Dex: Do you want to play 20 Questions?

Fitz: Sure!

Fitz: Whats your favorite color?

Dex, laser fucking focused: Triangle. Do you like men?

Hey!

Consider this either a very late birthday gift or a perfectly time-appropriate "my condolences" gift.

Anyway, hope it can make you smile:

Funny things to know:

- Baby elephants can use their trunks as pacifiers;

- Norway knighted a penguin, and he is now called "Brigadier Sir Nils Olav";

- Since we're talking about penguins, they can form gay couples and adopt abandoned eggs;

- and they mate for life;

- you can get a unicorn hunting license in Michigan (dunno why you'd want to hunt unicorns, but if you do, at least you can do so licensed!)

- a small town in Minnesota (Dorset) elected a 3 year old as mayor in 2015;

- you're twice as likely to be killed by a vending machine than by a shark! Cool, uh? (well, to be fair, you interact with vending machines more than with sharks)

- the little bit of toothpaste you put in your toothbrush is called a nurdle;

- a group of crows is a murder;

- but a group of ravens is an unkindness (or a conspiracy!)

- a group of raccons is a nursery;

- and a group of sloths is a snuggle;

Okay. I guess that's it. Sorry for infodumping on you or something, but in my defense you did allow me to!

Hope I got a smile out of you. But if I didn't, that's okay. Live your emotions and everything.

Yeah, that got loooong. And would be longer if tumblr allowed anons to put images, so lucky you tumblr is so stern with anons I guess.

Bye! <3

haha Thank you! These were very interesting! And you did get me to smile :)

❆ SEATTLE (ep3): dinner @ Noi

Our 1st meal in Seattle~

Noi Thai Cuisine, located at: 1303 1st Ave.

The interior was VERY dark! We quickly realized that Noi was more like a pub/lounge type of place. They are family-friendly; however, the atmosphere screamed date night or catch-up sesh with friends type of place.

Got a table by the window, facing The Harbour Steps.

Loved these lights!

Let’s take a look at the dinner menu (we happened to just miss the happy hr menu).

oooooOOh interesting.

I know the menu text is too small for you to actually read, but I still included them here so you can get a sense of how ‘fancy’ they are haha the pictures are all coloured & the menu paper is nice & glossy.

They have a very good description of what each dish is underneath the name of the dish.

Honestly, the menu was more like a food magazine than a menu :P

Look at that curry photo

Menu continues. ..

If you can’t tell by now, they are a fusion Thai restaurant.

*me thinking: “where is the pad thai?” *

Ahh. .. finally entering the noodle/rice section.

This is probably the section that was most familiar to me.

Noi also offers a number of vegetarian dishes.

We ordered our food & it came out pretty fast, despite the place being very busy!

The appetizer sampler~ Not gonna lie, DL & I were both intrigued by the ‘egg shell presentation’ lol but we also wanted to try other appetizers so the sampler was the best option. Let’s take a look at each part individually.

A. Crab wontons. Super crispy & filled with *real* crab meat (& cream cheese). The filling was creamy but had thin bits of crab meat.

B. Thai-style shrimp cakes. I’m a loyal fish cake girl so this shrimp cake . .. I was quite indifferent abut it. I was imagining something like the shrimp-stuffed bell peppers or eggplants that you could get at dimsum, where the shrimp is bouncy. But this fell short of that- there was a mushiness to it bcos the shrimp paste was made into some sort of paste/batter, rather than a primarily-shrimp paste. Does that make sense? Anyway, I though it’d be pure shrimp but it wasn’t, & I felt a little cheated.

C. Crispy taro rolls. This was better than expected. I thought it only had taro inside but it had some shrimp or prawn mixed in it as well!

D. Cock-A-Doodle-Doo. (Negligible) hint of spiciness from the tom yum bisque with deep fried prawn (bits) & tobiko. Sooooo sooo creamy mixed with crunchy & ‘popping’ textures. This was very satisfying from a textural perspective.

Of the 4 items, my order of preference: C > D > A > B.

Honestly opinion about the 4 items in general. .. I didn’t really get much “Thai” flavour in any of the 4 items :S I feel like these things could be ordered from any western restaurant, especially with more & more western pub/lounge places offering Asian-inspired appetizers/flavours. Wonderful presentation but altogether, not bad, but not great. I would recommend getting the Cock-A-Doodle-Doo on its own if you were to come here. It is different & I think it’s worth a try!

Original Tom Kah Gai. “This soup feature chicken, straw mushroom caps, lemongrass, spring onions, cilantro and enticing taste of galangal roots infused with coconut milk.” (copied directly from website)

From our personal Thai cuisine experiences, we have not seen/heard of this milky soup, so we decided to try it. The appearance looked so creamy & harmless, but this soup actually had quite a sharp flavour to it! Nevermind the ingredients used (nothing spectacular about it) but the soup was like WOWWW! Very citrus-y & strong lemongrass flavour will hit you first, & then it fades, & that’s when the subtle coconut flavour comes out. I really liked it!

Clay Pot Crab with Glass Noodles. (they say glass noodles but it’s the thin clear vermicelli noodles that you often find in spring rolls, aka cellophane noodles, not the stuff you use for japchae)

“A century old Thai favorite dish includes a combination of spiced crab, bacon, ginger, cilantro, white pepper on top of stir-fried glass noodle with our delicious homemade sauce.” The sauce was too zesty-spicy for me, so I actually didn’t eat the noodles with the sauce, but others might like it. I wasn’t a big fan of this dish; flavour was good (but did not scream “Thai” to me.. . honestly, it was just like a stir-fry that one could make at home using soy sauce + fish sauce), & abundant crab meat (more than I had expected!)... the biggest concern was the noodles =/ it was stiff! You know when you cook noodles sometimes & then it cools .. . & then it becomes dry & takes the form of the bowl? Well, this was like that. The noodles weren’t loose; it was stuck together. You literally needed to CUT a section out bcos using fork/chopsticks to take some was nearly impossible (you’d be taking out all the noodles with you). I was disappointed by this.. .

So yeah. .. ummm .. lol not the best 1st meal. However, the soup was very delicious & enjoyable!

Fun fact: they are a popular stopover spot for Thai Airways crew!

Oh hello and welcome to my repository, if you choose to stay may I offer a story to keep you entertained? 

Fantastic, now where should we begin? Oh yes this one is one of my favorites, shall we begin?

"Jesus there you are, we are already running late as is." Alex slightly scolds his brother's best friend, a young lady by the name of Cheyenne.

"Sorry Alex kinda got lost or did the fact that we are in a different country escape your understanding." She fires back causing Alex to raise his arms in surrender.

"Julia and Conrad will be there any minute we need to head out now." He says grabbing the things they need and he starts to head out.

"Be nice Alex I'm pretty sure if they get there before us it won't be that bad." Brad interjects giving Cheyenne a sympathetic look.

The 3 friends climbed into the rental car and they headed off to their next stop, where they will be spending the next few days.

"Conrad, there will be plenty of beer, would you relax?" Julia called from the front seat of the car.

Conrad looked back and waved her off.

"Seriously Jules, you'll get to see your lover boy soon. If Lil ol' Connie wants to grab a drink let him." Julia's friend Kaley said looking at her from the driver's seat. 

Julia sighed and looked at where Conrad had disappeared too.

"I'm not worried about that, they're going to be waiting for us!" Julia said with a huff.

Kaley stifled a chuckle and looked at her friend critically.

"Julia, are you sure they won't mind my sudden appearance?" She asked, watching her friend closely.

Julia waved her off much like Conrad had moments ago.

"Yeah, they won't care. Alex is cool and from what he says his brother is pretty chill too." Julia said just as Conrad jumped into the back.

"Alright you two, enough gossiping let's get on the road!" Conrad called with energy.

Kaley shook her head and put the car in gear, the three heading off towards the docks where they'd meet up with the others.

"Can you go grab that last case of beer while we get set up here." Alex asks Brad and his brother nods leaving the boat and going back to the car.

"So we finally get to meet this Julia you've said so much about." Cheyenne teases, taking a seat and Alex shakes his head ignoring her and starts to unpack some things.

"So Julia." Brad says setting the case of beer down.

"Did you take those diving classes like I asked you too?" Alex asks and Brad shakes his head.

"No I didn't." He responds and Alex sighs.

"How are you going to get in the water." He asks and Brad shrugs.

"Just wing it I guess." Brad responds and Cheyenne snorts biting back the laughter threatening to spill out.

"Brad, Julia and Conrad don't mess around with this kind of stuff we are swimming with the big fish now." Alex states and Brad rolls his eyes, "I shouldn't have let you tag along Julia just wanted to meet you."

"Tag along? Last I checked I was invited." Bred fires back and Alex instantly regrets his choice of words.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean that I'm just a little stressed with Med school and this whole long distance thing with Jules." Alex says apologizing to his brother and Brad nods.

"Don't worry man I understand." Brad says, offering a small smile to his brother to reassure him.

The three of them pulled up and Conrad jumped out, phone in hand.

"What are you doing now, Connie?" Julia asked, looking at him.

Kaley just sighed and grabbed her bag, before walking over to the other side of the car.

"Seriously, Conrad? One track mind much?" Kaley asked, moving to stand a bit ahead of them.

Conrad gave a smirk and jumped forward,wrapping his arm around her.

"Come on, Kaley! It's a vacation! Live a little." Conrad said with a little laugh.

Kaley and Julia just shook their heads and the three of them started walking towards the pier.

"They are here." Alex says clicking his phone off as the other two look towards the dock and see 3 figures moving closer to them.

"Julia hey." Alex says to the girl with dirty blond hair and bright blue eyes.

"Alex!" She squeals, pulling him into a hug.

"This is my brother Brad." He says pointing behind him.

"Brad oh my god it's so nice to finally meet you, this is my best friend Kaley and my brother Conrad." She says introducing the ones behind her.

"And who is this?" Conrad asks as Cheyenne comes up from below deck.

"Oh this is…." Alex starts but she walks past him.

"I'm Cheyenne, and you are?" She asks, sticking her hand out to Conrad and a ghost of a smirk appears on his face.

"Conrad." He says and she nods with a smile as they shake hands.

Kaley smiled at the gathered group and moved off to the side to look out at the ocean, noticing that Brad moved towards the side as well. Then Conrad walked up.

"Hey, man." Conrad said looking at Brad.

Brad nodded.

"Hey." Brad said looking to the side.

Conrad being his normal self, wrapped his arms around him and dragged him towards where the beer was.

"Come on, share a cold one with me!" Conrad said, moving to pass Brad one.

Brad shook his head and put his hands up.

"No, trust me, you don't want to see me blowing chunks!" Brad said.

Kaley smirked and grabbed the bottle that had been held out to Brad.

"Then I will just take this." She said, moving to sit on one of the seats.

Conrad shrugged before turning his attention back to Brad.

"So have you ever done this before?" Conrad asked motioning towards the dive gear and ocean beyond.

Brad shook his head again.

"No, I never have."

Conrad smiled, and Kaley who noticed shook her head knowing Conrad was going to say something stupid.

"Ocean virgin nice! We'll pop your cherry, together!" Conrad said with a determined look.

Brad looked distinctly uneasy. Kaley leaned forward, grabbing her tablet from her bag.

"Hey Brad, want to come look at some of my photos from my last free dive? I think you'd be interested." She offered sliding over to give him room.

"Yeah, thanks." Brad said, moving to sit by her.

"If you're handing out drinks I'll take you up on that offer." Cheyenne says coming up to Conrad and he smiles handing her a cold one.

"Tell me, how do you know Alex and Brad?" He asked leaning against the frame taking a swig of his drink.

"Me and Brad have been friends since middle school and well Alex tolerates us." She says sitting down on the seat next to where Conrad was standing.

"Is this your first dive?" He asks, casting a glance over to Brad and Kaley.

"Not my first dive I've done but it is my first one of this magnitude." She says and he looks pleased as he turns his attention back to her.

"Awesome! Glad I'm paired with someone who at least knows somewhat, what they're doing." He says amused and she nods as the captain boards the boat.

"Looks like you and I are a pair." Kaley says softly as the captain boards.

"I'd say make yourselves at-home but….anyways we'll be leaving shortly." Fliss, the captain of the 'Duke of Milan' said as she headed towards the controls in the front.

Brad looked at Kaley, and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sorry you got paired with such a noob." He said softly.

Kaley just laughed lightly shaking her head.

"Don't worry, everyone starts somewhere. All these pics were taken mid range free diving. Swimming but a bit deeper. I need more pictures anyways so if you want we can just chill up in the upper water." Kaley said reassuringly.

Brad smiled happily.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Brad said excitedly.

"Finally we can get going, felt like I was about to bake out in this sun." Cheyenne groans finishing off her drink and she places it in the trash as Conrad takes a seat next to her.

"What do you like to do for fun?" He asked, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Oh you know the usual, watch movies, listen to music. I also love to read and write but that's more of a guilty pleasure past time." She says, sitting criss cross and she turns slightly to face him.

"What kind of stuff do you write?" He asks and she laughs slightly looking down at her hands as she feels embarrassment start to bubble inside of her.

"Nothing really just little short stories and a few poems here and there." She says and he playfully nudges her shoulder.

"You should let me read some of your stuff some time." He comments and she laughs nervously again.

"Maybe but only if you tell me a little bit about yourself first." She says finally looking back up at him and he nods.

"I like diving, watching movies, uhhhh can't really think of anything else." He says and she nods.

"Alright what do you do for a living." She asks and he smiles slightly.

"I just finished college, I'm trying to become a bartender, what do you do for a living?" He turns the question on her.

"I also just finished college, I'm trying to do something in the history field but haven't found anything yet." She says and he looks somewhat impressed.

"Damn...you're interesting." He says softly.

"So Brad, what do you do? Just, in general?" Kaley asked, adjusting to look at Brad.

He paused and pushed his glasses up, before adjusting to look at her too.

"Well, I'm still in school, studying history with a large focus on world war 2. I love learning all of the different aspects that no one really teaches anymore. Beyond school...I study and read, I work too, I'm a battlefield archeologist. Basically I get to go explore and dig at old battlefields, but I'm only a junior member." Brad said, looking embarrassed as he finished.

Kaleys eyes widened, and a smile split her face.

"That's so cool! I love what you can find in and around battlefields. I myself am studying oceanography with an English secondary and a little bit of a history minor... although my area of expertise is in the civil war. Beyond school I read different things Shakespeare, Homer the  iliad and Odyssey, and a bunch of other stuff. As far as work goes? I work at the aquarium by my school, it's peaceful and relaxing." She said, smiling still.

Brad looked back at her with shock registering as he digested the similarities between them.

"That's...so cool." He said with a bright smile.

After that no one could disturb them for a while as they began debating the differences of their chosen wars and discussing other aspects and things they had learned.

"We're here." Fliss says bringing the Duke to a stop and she lowers the anchor.

"I'm so excited!" Julia squeals zipping up her wet suit.

"If there was a wreck here this place would be swarmed with people like you." Fliss states with a hint of anger in her voice.

"There is a wreck here, if Brad says there is I trust his judgement." Alex says fighting back an eye role.

"Have you ever dove before?" She asks, crossing her arms.

"Yes I have a few times." Alex responds, zipping up his wetsuit.

"Well if you have you should know regulations, if this is an undocumented wreck we need to turn it in….now." She says and Julia sighs getting annoyed.

"Look we paid you ok we can handle this don't worry." Julia snaps and Fliss shakes her head as she walks off.

"Julia, relax ok? She's right. We know regulations, we need to turn it in." Kaley said with a sigh.

Julia looked like she wanted to keep arguing but Alex cut in.

"So what you're saying is that we shouldn't dive? Come on! You even said you wanted to get in the water!" Alex said, trying to get her to their side.

Kaley put her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, I do. But I want to freedive and only take photos for my oceanography course. Not mess with world war 2 era fighter planes. You guys are treading on dangerous territory, who knows what is on that plane!. Long story short I agree with Fliss, we need to report this." She said crossing her arms definitely, daring them to argue more.

Alex opened his mouth to continue, but paused when Fliss walked back, looking frustrated.

"Just don't touch anything. Take pictures if you want but don't touch anything. Otherwise we all will be at risk of being arrested." Fliss says, with a hard glare.

Kaley turned and looked over to Brad.

"Let's go get ready and I can show you some cool stuff." She said walking away from everyone else.

Brad nodded.

"Yeah, alright." He said with a small smile.

"I agree, we should call this wreck in." Cheyenne speaks up, throwing her 2 cents in.

"At least there are a few people on this boat who have their head screwed on straight." Fliss says under her breath as she starts to set up the diving gear.

"Lets go get ready." Cheyenne says giving a nod to Fliss before turning towards Conrad.

"Alex are you ready?" Julia asks making the last connections on her rebreather and he nods, "Alright let's go."

The pair jumped into the water and they started to descend to the wreck.

"Hey Fliss, I'm sorry about them." Cheyenne says coming up to her.

"Thanks." She says not looking up from what she's doing.

"No Fliss, she's right. They were totally in the wrong. Julia's one of my best friends and she can be a major bitch sometimes. Conrad's not a lot better when he gets his mind on something but he at least tones down to a loud jerk while Julia just steam rolls you. Long story short they should have reported it." Kaley said walking over to get her and Brad's flippers goggles and a couple underwater cameras.

Brad walked up behind her, gently taking his goggles and flippers from her.

"Thanks, and both Kaley and Cheyenne are right, Alex can be a big jerk when he wants to be." Brad said as he got his flippers on.

Kaley smiled and moved to sit on the edge of the boat by Brad.

"Don't worry Fliss, we'll follow guidelines and stay in the upper waters so you won't have 2 sets of misbehaving people." Kaley said as she finished getting her flippers and goggles on.

Brad looked up and nodded with a smile.

"Ready, Brad?" Kaley asked as she stood on the small platform that hung off of the boat.

Brad gave a last small smile to Cheyenne and Fliss before moving to stand by Kaley.

"Yeah, yeah I think so!" He said as he pulled his goggles down.

Kaley passed him a camera and with that the two of them leapt into the water and dove a bit to get a better distance from the ship to see the animals and plants of the area.

"Could your first mate interest you in a cold one?" Conrad asks walking up to Fliss.

Fliss turns with a slight disgusted look on her face, "You're not my first mate."

"Cabin boy?" He questions and she shakes her head causing Cheyenne to snort watching his failed attempts.

"Not even close." Fliss says crossing her arms and Conrad takes a deep breath.

"How about if your dashingly handsome well paying client has asked you to join him for a frosty amber colored liquid?" He asks again and Fliss shakes her head.

"I'm only taking this because you people give me a headache, now would you please go I have work to do." She says and he nods handing her the bottle.

"Aye aye captain." He says turning and he takes a seat on the deck.

"Wow that was almost embarrassing to watch." Cheyenne teases Conrad as she takes a seat next to him.

"Hey I'm a man of many talents." He says and she laughs shaking her head.

"Oh are you now." She says back and he nods looking down at her.

"Yes I am, I can show you if you'd like." He quips and she side eyes him.

"Charm must not be one of them." She says looking him over and he shakes his head.

"That is where you're wrong, it's like a boomerang once you think it's gone over your head it comes back and hits you." He says with a wink causing Cheyenne to look away from him as she feels a blush creeping up her neck.

He was right at first she was unfazed by his advancements but as the day has dragged on she's found herself falling little by little and she hates it.

Kaley and Brad slowly swim a little lower in the water. Brad swims a bit ahead of her just to test his flippers and Kaley shakes her head before grabbing him and pulling him back quickly. Brad wide eyed looks at her. Kaley waves her hand through the water in the direction Brad had been headed, causing Brad to look and see a small shark slowly approaching.

"Ahh" Brad bubbles out in surprise.

Kaley smirked a bit and carefully covered his mouth before holding up her camera and pointing at him then the shark. Brad shook his head frantically, so Kaley shrugged and pointed to his camera before starting to swim over to the Shark. Brad, shocked that she had reached it and was carefully resting a hand on the dorsal fin of the shark, slowly raised his camera up and snapped a few pictures. Kaley smiled as he gave her a thumbs up before pointing behind Brad. Brad turned slowly expecting another shark but saw just some flowering sea plants, with a nod and a smile he swam over to them and Kaley captured a few nice shots. An hour or so later they both surfaced and climbed back into the ship.

"I can't believe you grabbed that shark!" Brad said amazed.

Kaley, who was looking over her pictures paused on one of Brad by a coral structure and shrugged lightly.

"Brad, it was a baby reef-back. They aren't dangerous, not even the adults are. The only sharks even less dangerous are nurse sharks." She said as she finally put her camera down and slipped her flippers off before moving onto the slow process of extracting herself from the dive suit.

"Still, it could have been risky." Brad muttered softly, slowly pulling out of his suit.

Kaley plopped onto one of the benches and pulled the suit off her legs, before looking up at Brad, she offered a little sigh.

"Brad, I know sharks and I know the species that are in this area, I was safe. But I thank you for being worried about me." She said smiling softly as she pulled her wet hair into a high ponytail.

Brad sighed and looked up, eyes going wide for a second as he saw her in just a pair of short swim shorts and a tight tank top.

"I...I was worried that you'd be ripped apart. But you do know what you know." Brad said finally.

Kaley smiled and sat next to him.

"Thanks Brad, honestly one of the best free dive partners I've had. Let's look over these pictures." She said smiling brightly.

Brad swallowed before nodding and grabbing his camera to pull his pictures up. Kaley tore her eyes away from Brad with a soft blush, Brad made a sight in only swim trunks.

"Hey is that a boat coming our way?" Cheyenne asks as she scans the waters.

"That must be what was popping up on radar ...I don't think that's the coast guard coming to arrest us, I've got a bad feeling about this." Fliss says picking up the binoculars before glancing back at the others.

"So what do we do?" Conrad asks, crossing his arms and Fliss glares at him.

"We aren't doing anything, I'm the captain so you be quiet and let me talk." She warns and he nods holding his hands up in surrender.

Not even 10 minutes later the boat comes racing by and hits the dive line before it comes to a stop.

"You have to back up, we have divers in the water!" Fliss calls out as the guy that looks to be the quote unquote captain looks over the side of the speed boat.

"Look what you did to our boat." He says pointing at the very obvious indentation on his speed boat.

"Look man we're sorry, how much would it be to fix that? 10." Conrad says bringing out money and he flicks a 10 dollar bill into the water, "No? How about 20?" He flicks another bill into the water, "30?" He flicks another, "Here take it all." He finishes throwing all of it in the water.

The men speed off and Fliss looks up at Conrad, "You're an idiot." She says harshly before walking away.

"What the hell was that, they could have been pirates…..good job." Cheyenne scolds walking away from him.

"You guys are right, why don't I start up the grill." He says walking over to the grill and he starts to put the starter on the charcoal and he lights it, but it blows up and catches on fire.

"Shit." Fliss says rushing to grab the extinguisher and she rushes over and puts the fire out.

"Fuck, Conrad are you ok." Cheyenne says getting up and rushing over to him and she looks him over to make sure.

"Yeah I'm fine." He says letting her examine his arm.

"What the hell was that?" They hear Julia say from the water.

"Some guys ran into the dive line." Fliss informs and Julia nods looking at the money floating in the water.

"Who decided to pay the ocean?" She asks and both Fliss and Cheyenne look at Conrad.

"I don't know, ask your idiot brother." Fliss says and Julia shakes her head.

"Connie I swear to god you can be stupid sometimes." She says shaking her head before holding up her hand, "Anyways everyone shut up and look."

"Oh my God congratulations you guys!" Cheyenne squeals as she gazes at the ring on Julia's left hand.

"Well damn this is cause for celebration." Conrad smiles as he helps bring them in.

Brad and Kaley who had been down below deck until then came up in time to hear Conrad.

"What's the celebration for, Connie?' Kaley called out as they walked over.

Julia squealed a bit and jumped up onto the little platform, before shoving her hand in Kaleys face.

"LOOK!" she squealed happily.

Kaley upon seeing the ring smiled a happy smile for her friend.

"Congrats, I guess Conrad is right. This time." She said muttering the last bit.

"HEY! I heard that!' Conrad called with a smile still plastered on his face.

Kaley rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"That was the point. So how are we going to celebrate? And before Conrad says alcohol, why don't we let Julia and Alex choose since it's their celebration." Kaley said, and the rest nodded, Conrad looking properly chastised.

"How about food? That is if Conrad didn't break the grill." Julia suggested.

Everyone agreed to that and before long everyone was seated with food and all except Brad were drinking a beer, Brad had a soda.

"Why don't you tell us a ghost story Brad." Cheyenne says relaxing back against the bench she was seated on next to Conrad.

"Yeah I agree, come in Brad." Julia says taking another sip of her drink.

"Alright, this is the retelling of a true story." Brad started but Alex cut him off.

"Woah wait a true story? Where did you hear it?" Alex asked.

Brad gave him a little look.

"An old man, on a beach." Brad said pausing.

Alex seemed to settle back down, Kaley leaned forward, getting into the story.

"It was a long time ago on a cloudy day, an old lighthouse keeper was walking the beach, when out of nowhere a frantic woman ran up to him begging and pleading for help. The lighthouse keeper asked what the problem was, and she said her parents had been murdered. Now the lighthouse keeper, realizing the gravity of the situation, started back with her before asking where she was taking him. 'the old lighthouse, I've lived there for years' the women responded. Now the keeper knew that wasn't true because he was the only one to live there in several decades. He tried to tell the woman this, but she wouldn't listen and instead lead him up the stairs. When they reached the top, there were two bodies splayed out in a bloody fashion on the floor." Brad paused for a second to take in the reactions knowing the best part was coming up.

Julia looked freaked out while Fliss looked interested, Kaley leaned even further trying to fully take in the story, he almost felt bad knowing the ending would probably make her jump and fall off the bench. Conrad and Alex looked marginally unimpressed. He continued.

"The man turned to the woman and asked her 'who did this?' she looked at him and said  'my husband, and he's still here, in the closet' she pointed to the old closet and the keeper looked at it before cautiously making his way over to it, he took a second to take a breath expecting to be attacked. The lighthouse keeper opened the door and sure enough, there was a man in the closet and in the shadow the lighthouse keeper couldn't see his face, so he leaned closer, and closer until finally he could make out the man's face. And….it was his OWN FACE and before the keeper knew what happened the man jumped and his eyes bulged out and "WAHHH"" Brad lunged forward, lightning cracking at that moment and Brad's face went creepy.

Julia laughed, Alex looked impressed and Kaley, as expected, fell off her chair in shock.

Fliss looked the slightest bit impressed, Conrad laughed giving Brad a nod while Cheyenne yelps instantly clinging on to Conrad and she hides behind him.

"Alright as much as the story was interesting, I think it's bedtime." Alex says standing and Julia follows him.

"I agree." Fliss says as she too stands up and walks off.

"Was the story really that scary?" Conrad says looking behind him slightly at Cheyenne.

"N-no, just the lightning caught me off guard." She says letting go of him and she fixes her shirt.

"Whatever you say sweetheart." He responds with a wink and a smile and her jaw dropped slightly.

Kaley stood up and stretched lightly.

"Scuse me love birds. Hey Brad, nice story. I was wondering if you wanted to come chat a bit before bed?" She asked side stepping Conrad and Cheyenne.

Brad smiled at her lightly.

"Yeah sure, wanna talk down in my room? So we can sit comfortably?" He asked her as they started walking.

Kaley nodded.

"Yeah that sounds good." She says and follows Brad down and out of sight.

"I would actually like to get to know you better." Conrad says relaxing back against the bench with Cheyenne.

"I would like that too." She says softly looking up at him and he smiles.

"Let's start with the basics, how old are you?" He asks and she nods playing with her hands.

"21, how old are you?" She returns.

"22, do you have any siblings?" He asks the next question.

"Yeah 3 actually, an older brother and sister and then a younger brother." She replies and he nods.

"You know you have beautiful eyes." He whispers and she feels her face heat up.

"Stop you're just saying that to say it." She responds and he looks confused before he shakes his head.

"No, I'm serious it's true." He reassures and she smiles slightly.

"Thank you. If my eyes are beautiful yours are otherworldly." She responds and he smiles happily.

"I could go on with the compliments but I get the feeling you really don't want to hear the truth which is a shame because you deserve to know." He says and she feels her heart stutter at his words.

After a beat of silence, she clears her throat and looks away from him, "As much as I'm enjoying this and your company I think I'm gonna call it a night." She stands and he follows stopping her.

"I mean you can join me, I have the top bunk but we can work something out." He says and she smiles nodding.

"Alright, lead the way." She says moving out of his way and he walks them down to his bunk.

Kaley ducks into Brad's room, looking around before joining him, sitting on the bed. She leans her back against the wall next to him and they sit quietly for a few minutes.

"So...so uh what did you want to talk about?" Brad asks, breaking the silence.

Kaley smiles a bit and looks over at him.

"Well we know each other's majors, and what we enjoy and do for work, but that's all. So tell me about yourself, how old are you?" She asked him, turning to him a bit.

Brad shuffles and looks at her.

"I'm 21, how old are you?" He asks her softly.

Kaley smiles a bit.

"I just turned 22 last week." She said softly.

Brad smiled and nodded.

"Do you have any siblings?" Brad asked her.

Kaley nodded and offered a small smile.

"An older brother and a younger sister." Kaley said softly, slowly slipping down the wall.

She let out a yawn, one that Brad mirrored a few seconds later.

"So, have you always been interested in world war 2?" Kaley asked softly.

The two of them had slid down and we're facing each other on the bed barely awake. Brad nodded, his glasses pressed up.

"Yeah, just seeing the….the differences that have happened have always intrigued me." He said voice, soft.

 Kaley smiled and nodded.

"You're intriguing." She murmured.

Brad laughed a bit.

"So are you." He whispered as they both dozed off.

"Shhhh, we have to be quiet, the children are sleeping." Conrad teases pointing to the bottom bunk where Brad and Kaley are sound asleep.

"Duly noted." Cheyenne whispers climbing the ladder and she settles into the sheets.

"If you want me to, I can sleep on the opposite end with my back to you." He whispers and she shakes her head patting the just big enough space for him to lay next to her.

"I don't mind…..might actually help me sleep better, never was really good at falling asleep on boats." She whispers and he nods, settling next to her closing the gap between them with an arm around her.

"Goodnight." He whispers against her ear and she smiles to herself.

"Goodnight." She whispers back and they too are sound asleep within minutes.

Barely 2 hours later Cheyenne is shaken awake from the force of a random guy pulling Conrad off the bed. She sits up right as Conrad smashes a bottle over the guys head and she jumps into action and she kicks him sending him flying back to the wall, "Are you ok, are you hurt." She frantically says climbing down from the bed and she starts to look at the cut on his forehead.

"I'm fine, are you ok?" He asks and she nods looking over to the other bunk and seeing the two that were there previously are gone.

"Where is everyone?" She asks and Conrad shrugs.

"Both of you shut the fuck up." The man, her and Conrad had tagteamed shouted standing up holding a knife and the two of them held up their hands.

The man ties their hands behind their back and he tapes their mouths before leading them into Alex and Julia's room. When they enter they see everyone there but Brad.

The man pushes them down to the ground harshly and when they land he takes a swing at Conrad but luckily Conrad dodges before he can land the punch as both Alex and Cheyenne kick the guy sending him to the floor. He stands up furious but storms out of the room quickly.

When he leaves Conrad moves to take the tape off of Cheyenne's mouth and she does his before they slowly start to remove the others tape as well, "Is everyone Ok?" He asks and most of them nod when the guy from earlier comes back and takes Fliss.

"What the fuck do they want?" Julia whispers and Conrad looks down.

"I think those are the guys I may have pissed off on that boat earlier." He says softly and a sympathetic look washes over Cheyenne's face.

At that moment the door opens again and the guy drags Conrad out.

Kaley shoots a glare at Cheyenne as she tries to work her socks off. The others watching between the two girls.

"Look at this mess your damn boy-toy got us into!" Kaley hissed in frustration before turning to Alex.

"Alex, weird thing, but pull off my left sock would you?" She asks as she shuffles a bit.

Alex looked at her before turning so both hands were visible.

"Uh sure, but...why? And where's Brad?" He asked as he pulled her sock off.

Kaley smirked with triumph and grabbed the pocket knife that had fallen out of her sock with both feet.

"Because I have a habit of sleeping and existing with a pocket knife in my sock." She says smirking.

"The fuck do you mean boy-toy last time I check he's her brother and your friend." Cheyenne snaps as she wiggles free of her restraints.

"Guys seriously where's Brad?" Alex asks again as she unties him.

"I don't know, maybe you should ask Kaley here, she was getting a little friendly with our dear Brad last I checked." Cheyenne says leaning against the bed again, her head in her hands.

Kaley rolls her eyes before getting Julia to cut her ropes and then cutting Julia's ropes in return. Alex looked at her. Kaley sighed and shuffled against the bed behind her, hiding the pocket knife in her bra.

"I don't know, one minute we were talking and getting to know each other, relaxing before bed. I had planned to go to my room and sleep there. We must have fallen asleep cause a bit later I'm getting grabbed and tied up by these damn goons that CHEYENNE'S boy toy pissed off earlier. My only hope is that he heard something and managed to hide. They didn't see us earlier so maybe we just keep his existence quiet as long as possible. And yeah Connie is her brother and my friend but if anyone was getting friendly with someone it was you and him." Kaley says in a quiet huff, worry etching her face as she talks about Brad.

"I agree about keeping Brad's existence secret. But what exactly do you define 'getting friendly' do tell the class please." Cheyenne huffs looking up from her hands as a shout can be heard from outside.

"So you're saying you didn't grab onto Connie cause you were scared earlier? Or maybe that you haven't been staring at him every chance you get? The flirting you're both playing off as subtle, it's not subtle." Kaley says rolling her eyes as she pays attention to the door.

"Me grabbing onto him earlier during the story was pure coincidence, had anyone else been sitting there I would have grabbed on to them. And in regards to me 'staring at him every chance I get' I'm getting to know him he's the only one that's even bothered to get to know me. You haven't even tired, Julia has given it a little try, same with Fliss. So of course I'm going to naturally gravitate towards him since you have been spending every chance you get with my best friend and Alex, the only other person on this damned boat I actually know has been spending this time like he was supposed to with Julia. So forgive me for looking for a little bit of company. And fuck I'll admit Conrad is one hell of an attractive person you happy." Cheyenne fires off before sinking back into herself.

Kaley pauses and takes a deep breath before letting it out slowly.

"Look, yeah maybe you're right. I have been monopolizing Brad, but can you blame me? We have so much in common...I haven't found that with anyone else. And sorry I haven't been trying to talk to you as much, truth is I suck at talking to people and groups freak me out. Julia had to practically beg me to come on this trip because I'm so crowd-phobic. And the only reason I got the ability to be friends with her and then Conrad is because our English professor paired us together for a research paper, and she introduced me to her brother. But to be fair yeah I've been monopolizing Brad but you've got Connie wrapped around you so hard I haven't been able to say more than 10 words to the guy. As for getting to know each other, that's all me and Brad have done, is get to know each other. But alright, you admitted what you think of Connie, Brad is an amazing, wonderful, gorgeous guy and why he's still single is a damn mystery to myself." Kaley said before leaning back from where she had leaned forward to look at Cheyenne, and turning to look out the window.

Cheyenne goes to respond but the door swings open and they shove Conrad in with the side of his head bleeding and an obvious black eye, "My god are you ok?" She asks standing and she notices the tip of his right ear missing.

"What the fuck happened to you?" Julia asks and he shakes his head taking a seat.

"Alright, we need to come up with a plan. When they come back we get them." Alex says and they all nod as the door opens again and they drag Julia out faster than anyone can react.

"Fuck." Conrad shouts as Alex pounds on the door.

A few minutes later Julia returns and she looks fine, "What did they want?" Alex asks.

"They were asking about our parents. They want money." She says and Conrads sighs.

Kaley shoots a little glare at Conrad.

"Way to go Connie. How's your ear?" She asks the fight, leaving her as she fails to find a solution.

Julia sits looking sad but looks up at her question.

"My ear is fine, doesn't really hurt any more." He says moving to sit by the window as the storm starts to roll in.

"Look, Kaley I'm sorry for going off on you earlier it was uncalled for." Cheyenne says trying to ease the tension in the air.

Silence falls over the group when a clap of thunder erupts in the sky making everyone jump slightly. Another bolt of lightning flashes and Conrad starts to softly count to himself, "8 seconds, that means the storm is 8 miles away." He says and everyone looks at him confused.

"I'm not following you." Alex says standing and walking over to him.

"If we time it right I can sneak out and steal their speed boat and try to go and get help." Conrad says and Alex nods, processing what he was saying.

"Won't they hear you hitting the window?" Julia asks and Conrad shakes his head.

"Not if we time it with the sound of the thunder." He informs her and everyone agrees, "Ok on my count."

On six both Alex and Conrad hit the window and it pops open allowing Conrad to slip through right before the men come back in.

Conrad breaths in deep and holds his breath as he hears the commotion going on in the room when one of the guys sees him. He grabs the knife next to his foot and he takes off along the side of the boat before jumping back onto the deck completely forgetting the escape mission and he holds the man that tied him and Cheyenne up at knife point.

The guys in the room with the rest of the group stop when they all hear a thump on the main deck. The big one turns and walks back upstairs.

"Damn it, Conrad." Kaley mutters knowing he didn't get away.

Before too long they are all led upstairs, where Conrad rejoins them.

"What happened to the escape?" Julia asks voice low.

Conrad shrugs and glares at the guys.

"He gave it up to try and get them away from us." Kaley whispers back.

"Put the knife down." The big one says and Conrad shakes his head, his grip on the knife tightened.

"Get the fuck off our boat." Conrad shouts back and the guy shakes his head.

"I won't ask again." He says pointing a gun at Kaley and Conrad freezes and a look of fear flashed in his eyes but he doesn't let up.

"No." Conrad says calmly and the big guy shakes his head again.

"I must have threatened the wrong one then, how about now." He says pointing the gun at Cheyenne.

With all backs turned to her, Kaley slowly reaches up to grab her knife.

"Bitch-boy you want my knife where?" She growls and she jumps, and cuts the big ones forehead/cheek.

He grabs her and throws her down repositioning the gun on Cheyenne even as the blood from his new wounds runs fast down his face. Kaley lays on the ground virtually unconscious from the impact blood slowly trickles from her forehead and arm.

"One more time, put the knife down or say goodbye to your girlfriend." The man snarls as he cocks the pistol and places it directly against her temple.

"No, stop please don't." Conrad says shoving the guy he had away and he throws the knife on the ground as they throw him on the ground with the rest of the group.

Kaley comes to, as they drag her back to the group, groggy and unfocused,she slumps gently against Cheyenne where they drop her.

"Sorry, I'm getting you bloody." Kaley mutters softly as she tries to gain more focus.

"It's fine look at me." Cheyenne says holding up her bloodied and scraped up hands.

"I'm sorry I caved, I just couldn't let them shoot you." Conrad whispers and Cheyenne gave him a weak smile, "And I'm sorry I kinda got you knocked out Kaley."

"It's ok." Cheyenne whispers back reaching up and she places her hand over his and he turns his and holds her's.

"All of you shut the fuck up." The guy Conrad had at knife point shouts as the boat hits a rather hard wave and it rocks everyone forward harshly.

"Why are they taking the boat?" Alex whispers and everyone shrugs.

"They say that sign you guys brought back talking about the Manchurian Gold." Fliss hisses glaring at Alex.

"You know what doesn't seem right? How they had you up there nearly this whole time and there is not a scratch on you. I think Fliss is working with them." Alex accuses and everyone looks shocked.

"With them? Are you that stupid, why would I be working with them? Fuck you Alex." Fliss snaps back shaking her head in disgust.

Kaley hums trying to sit up as her head spins.

"Conrad it's fine, not your fault, you know my training...Alex seriously no starting….shit when we have idiots trying to kidnap us." She murmured softly as she tried to look around a bit, but the waves shaking the boat didn't help her with her dizzy head.

Conrad watched her as she swayed trying to focus. Julia looked around as well.

"Manchurian Gold? What the hell is that??" Julia demands in a low whisper.

Fliss just shrugs a bit.

The group falls silent after a few minutes, Julia clings onto Alex, Cheyenne clings onto Conrad as she shakes slightly, Kaley trying not to fall unconscious again and Fliss just stays off to herself.

After about 30 minutes the boat is rocked hard as it hits something else about 4 times before it comes to a stop, "Alright all of you up, now." The guy says and he leads them to the deck as another takes the distributor cap.

Kaley sways violently as she's shoved up onto the ledge to jump into the other boat.

"Hey man! She can't make the jump!" Conrad and Alex both shout, the girls having already jumped but were watching from the door.

Kaley stuck her hands out in front of herself.

"I got it, don't worry." She mutters as she sways again.

She bends her knees and everyone holds their breath, Kaley jumps and just misses the ladder falling into the cold rolling waves below.

"KALEY!" Julia and Conrad scream out, as they rush to try and get down to her.

The guy with the gun points it back towards the girls, causing them to freeze.

"On the boat." He says demandingly.

The guys don't fight trying to protect the other girls. What they didn't know is hitting the cold water had woken Kaley up and snapped her out of her daze. She managed to find a small air pocket below the small platform and she took a deep breath before swimming lower under the boat to avoid their captors detection.

"Keep moving." They shout pushing the 5 remaining group members along.

"Take my hand." Conrad whispers to Cheyenne and she takes his hand holding it tightly.

The guys lead them to a room and they lock them inside in the pure darkness, "Hey can you at least give us a light it's dark in here." Fliss shouts banging on the door and it opens and one of the guys hands her a flashlight.

"We need to find a way out of here." Julia says as she lights an old lamp and she starts to look around the room for something.

"Hey, are you ok?" Conrad asks Cheyenne as she sits in a corner shaking slightly.

"Scared and cold is all." She says looking up at him and he nods sitting down next to her and he pulls her in close and she lays her head on his chest.

"We'll get out of here alive, it'll be ok. When we do, what do you say we spend a little alone time together just the two of us." He whispers, placing a kiss to the top of her head and she nods.

"I'd like that." She whispers back as she feels the shaking starting to die down, "Thank you."

"Hey I found a vent, help me get this open, someone." Alex shouts from the opposite side of the room.

"Someone needs to distract the guards as we get this open." Julia whispers and Fliss nods walking over to the door and she starts to pound on it and shout random things as the other 4 work on getting the vent open.

"It's open come on let's go." Alex whispers and they all sneak out.

Meanwhile back on the Milan, Brad finally walks slowly upstairs to see if the coast is clear. He hears a slight splashing and a slap sound. Before Kaley pulls herself up.

"Brad?" She says as she tries to pull herself all the way on, still weak from before.

"Kaley!" Brad says rushing over to help her.

Kaley lands on the deck and coughs a bit trying to get air back into her body.

"Where is everyone? What happened?" Brad asked as he looked at the navigation system.

Kaley pointed towards the large boat, as she scooped up her knife, and grabbed the first aid kit.

"We got boat jacked and kidnapped, they pointed the gun at me, and then at Cheyenne and I jumped and tried to stab the main guy. He threw me into the control panel which is how I got these, and the rest are on the ship." She said as she cleaned and bandaged her arm.

Brad reached over and took some of the cleaning solution and wiped the wound on her head, before bandaging it.

"Now what?" He asked softly sitting next to her.

She sighed and leaned against him, before looking at the big ship.

"We gotta go after them. The kidnappers don't know about you and they think I'm dead, everyone thinks I'm dead. But if we can get on there and catch up with everyone else, we can work through and maybe get the part they stole." She said quietly.

Brad nodded and after a few moments where he sat and held Kaley softly he stood up and walked over to the side by the ship. He went to step up before stepping back and bouncing a bit.

"Shit! Fuck fuck fuck fuck shit! Come on B you can do this!" He said psyching himself up.

Kaley stood and walked over to him and looked at the ladder they'd have to catch. Brad looked over at her with a small smile.

"Hey, if we survive this, you wanna get food or something?" He asked her.

Kaley paused, not thinking this was the best time, but knowing Brad was too adorable to say no too, nodded.

"Yeah, I'd like that a lot." She said happily. 

Brad whooped in joy before running and jumping onto the ladder and scurrying up to the door. Kaley sighed softly before running and leaping barely catching the ladder this time. She climbed up and Brad pulled her in.

"Now what?" Kaley asked looking at Brad.

Brad looked around, before shrugging.

"Keep walking? Try to find them?" He asked her.

Kaley nodded and feeling adventurous, grabbed his hand.

"Alright, let's go." She said and together they walked down the corridors.

"Alright there's the distributor cap." Fliss says pointing to the deck below them, "I'll go down and get it."

"Be careful." Cheyenne whispers and Fliss nods dropping down to the bottom deck.

Things go south and Fliss gets captured and the other four get split up.

"Where did Alex and Julia go?" Cheyenne asks and Conrad looks behind them.

"I don't know, hopefully they find a way out. Now stay close ok." He says, pulling her closer to him and they continue to walk down the corridors.

"Conrad!" Cheyenne shouts as the floor gives way underneath her and she falls just barely catching herself on a beam.

"Shit, no no no." Conrad yells trying to find a way down to her but to no avail.

"Keep going I'll find my backup to you ok." She shouts back up to him and he nods reluctantly to himself.

"Just be careful ok." He responds.

"You too!" She shouts before she heads off trying to find a way back up.

As she's walking the winding corridors she starts to hear odd noises and see things from the corner of her eyes. She rounds a corner and comes face to face with a clown and she shrieks taking off in the opposite direction.

Kaley and Brad keep walking the corridors, trying to avoid the kidnappers and find their friends. Suddenly they hear a shriek.

"That was Cheyenne!" Brad says and Kaley nods. They pick up the pace and run towards where they heard the shout.

Kaley jolts to a sudden stop, her breathing picking up and her shaking all over the place, Brad looks at her concerned.

"Kaley? Are you ok?" He asks her softly.

She shakes her head and points, but when Brad looks he doesn't see anything.

"There's nothing there Kaley." Brad says gently.

"S-s-spiders." Kaley whispers before backing up and turning racing away from the scene, Brad trying to keep up behind her.

"KAY STOP!" Brad yells as he trips and she races towards an open ledge.

Kaley skids to a stop and shakes her head a bit, taking a deep breath and looking at Brad.

"Brad? What happened?" She asked, still looking pale.

Brad wraps his arms around her and holds her close, pressing a soft reassuring kiss to the top of her head.

"You got spooked, said you saw spiders." He said softly.

Kaley shook, and buried her head in his chest.

"Brad I can't do spiders. There was this thing in summer camp back when I was like 7 and long story short I got trapped in a building that was basically a huge spiders nest." She whispered shakily.

He nodded and held her.

"Don't worry, I won't let the arachnids get you." he said softly.

Kaley giggled softly at that and nodded. The two started to move forwards after that, trying to find their friends again.

"Come on Conrad get it together." He says to himself as he walks the corridors after having a few unexplained experiences since he parted ways with Cheyenne.

He's found his way into a room when a door slams and he turns, coming face to face with what looks like a hag. When he sees this he takes off running but the hag is in hot pursuit and after a few near death experiences he gets outside and looks behind him and sees the hag still chasing him.

After Cheyenne's run in with the clown she somehow found a door leading outside and she takes a deep breath and she feels a weight lift off of her. She looks around and she spots a set of stairs leading up to the next floor and she smiles going up them and finally stepping back inside.

She walks around for a few minutes before she spots Conrad walking, "Conrad!" She shouts trying to get his attention. He turns to her but he takes off running when he looks at her.

"Come on Conrad get it together." She hears him say to himself as she chases him to a room when she hits a loose pole and it slams a door behind her.

He turns again and sees her and yet again he takes off running again and she runs after him calling out his name. They both go through a series of near death experiences before she follows him out onto a ledge, "Please Conrad it's me stop!" She pleads and he turns back to her and a look of panic flashed in his eyes as he looks for a way to escape.

"Connie please!" She shouts and he blinks looking at her again and a look of confusion comes over him.

"Cheyenne? Is that really you?" He questions and she nods her head, tears filling her eyes.

"Yes it's me Connie, now please come here." She says reaching her hand out and he takes it.

She walks him back off the ledge and he just looks down at her, "It's really you." He repeats more for himself than anything.

"God you really scared me." She whispers, hugging him tightly.

"To be fair you scared me too, but you called me Connie." He says and she looks up at him and he smiles.

"Shut up idiot." She smiles and brings him down for a kiss to which he happily returns, "Don't ever do something like that again ok." She whispers and he nods hugging her again.

"Brad, there's a door." Kaley says pointing after what feels like hours of walking.

"Yeah, let's see where that goes." He says quietly.

They walk to the door and shove it open taking a deep breath of the fresh air the small deck they had found offers. They walk to the railing and lean against it for the support. 

"We should keep going." Kaley says standing up.

Brad turns and looks at her, noticing now that they have light, that she has blood running down her cheek again, and she looks pale.

"Hey, are you feeling ok?" He asked, softly wrapping her in his arms.

She sways a bit but nods.

"Yeah I'm fine, why?" Kaley asks looking up at him.

He doesn't respond but reaches up and swipes her cheek a bit, before showing her his thumb.

"Your bleeding again." He says gently.

She sways again, and nods.

"Yeah, I have been for a bit." She tells him quietly.

"What?" Brad asks looking at her.

Kaley nods.

"Yeah, since the whole s-spider vision thing." She says softly.

Brad sighs and leads her over to a pallet in the corner, and pulls her down to lean against his chest. Kaley softly sighs and snuggles against him a bit more.

"Why don't we wait here, I'm sure they'll find us soon." Brad said softly.

Kaley nodded and let her eyes slide closed, resting softly but not really sleeping. Brad rubbing her back and shoulders as they waited.

"Hey is that Brad and Kaley?" Cheyenne asks when they reach the deck.

"It looks like it, HEY!" Conrad calls out as they get closer.

Brad leans forward jostling Kaley awake, before helping her stand.

"Hey!" Brad calls waving.

Kaley waves dazedly as she leans on Brad.

"Hey guys." She says quietly.

"Thank God you guys are ok." Conrad breathes a sigh of relief as he and Cheyenne sit down next to them.

"Hey guys." Cheyenne says softly, laying her head on Conrad's shoulder.

"If you want to sleep you can." Conrad whispers moving slightly so she can lay her head in his lap.

"Thanks Connie." Cheyenne whispers laying down and she relaxes slightly when she feels him rubbing her shoulder softly.

Thankfully about an hour later they hear the door open and they see Alex, Julia, and Fliss walk out holding the distributor cap, "Come on, let's get off of this shit hole." Fliss says climbing down the ladder and she jumps onto the Duke and the others follow.

"What exactly happened to you guys in there?" Cheyenne asks the others.

"After we got split up from you two Alex and I got split up briefly but once I found him there were so many things that had Alex's face…That's one memory I do not want to relive ever." Julia says as a shiver runs down her spine.

"Nothing much, escaped those pirate assholes then met back up with Alex and Julia before finding you guys." Fliss chips in.

"I'm not sure about you guys but this calls for a frosty." Conrad says coming back with a drink in hand and everyone groans.

"What happened with you guys?" Julia asks leaning against Alex.

"Well we got split up after we lost you two but then found each other again after whatever that gas was made Cheyenne here, something entirely different than she is but she was able to snap me out of it….." Conrad says, still trying to understand what exactly happened.

"Before you get too comfortable I'm gonna need to clean your ear." Cheyenne says turning his head so she can look at it now in better lighting.

Kaley sat up as Brad grabbed some of the antiseptic, and looked around.

"After I fell in the water it woke me up a bit. I managed to find a pocket of air, and stayed under water until the coast was clear. Brad helped get me on the...ye-ouch! Careful...he helped get me on the boat and then we talked for a few minutes before getting on the boat." Kaley explained her part.

Brad smiled apologetically, before continuing to dress her wounds.

"I had heard something during the night, and it woke me up. So I climbed out of bed to see what was going on, but when I saw the other boat, I just freaked out and hid. After everything settled down I snuck upstairs to see if anyone was up there. And I saw Kaley trying to get on the boat and rushed to help her. After helping her we got up into the boat and wandered around trying to find you guys. Kaley freaked at one point and ran off but I kept with her." Brad explained as he finished up and Kaley snuggled into his chest.

"He broke me out of whatever gas induced nightmare that was. And after that we kept walking around the boat to find you all. After a few hours we found the deck and intended to keep going and find you." Kaley said, explaining more.

Brad wrapped his arms around her and nodded.

"But I noticed Kaley was bleeding so I decided it would be best to sit on the deck and wait for you all." Brad finished.

"I'm just happy everyone is ok." Julia says breathing a sigh of relief.

"Me too, as much as you guys can be idiots I can at least trust you." Fliss says smiling for the first time since the group had met her.

"Alright Connie come on gotta go get you bandaged up." Cheyenne says holding her hand out for him and he stands following her back.

Cheyenne finds the first Aid kit Brad must have found and she places it on the counter, "Can you sit in the chair please I kinda need to reach your ear to clean it." She says looking up at him and he smiles taking a seat.

She cleans the wound and he hisses slightly wincing at the burn but the small amount of pain is gone as fast as it came and she places the bandage over the wound and cleans up her mess, "Am I done doctor?" He teases and she nods.

"Yes you are free to go." She smiles returning to him.

Kaley rests against Brad the entire way back, the two talking softly to each other. 

*A year and a half later*

Kaley walked towards the dock before turning and smiling gently at Brad. She put her hands on her hips and smiled a bit brighter.

"Bradley come on! We're going to be late" she says and Brad shakes his head before running up to her and wrapping her in his arms.

He smiled and pressed a kiss to her check, before releasing all but her hand

"That fast enough?" He asked jokingly.

She smiled and nodded with a laugh.

"Yeah, perfect. Look! The Duke!" She said turning away from him a bit.

Brad looked up and they both froze slightly as the memories hit them in a rush. Brad gave Kaley a small smile and a hand squeeze.

"Come on, the others are going to be wondering where we are." He said softly.

She shook herself and nodded.

"Yeah you're right let's go." She said softly.

Before long they reached the boat and climbed on, not seeing anyone they settled onto one of the benches.

"We can't be the first ones." Brad says softly.

Kaley nods but shrugs shortly after.

"They could be below deck, who knows for sure. Just relax for a few." Kaley said looking up at him.

"Come on Connie I think I hear Kaley and Brad." Cheyenne says sitting up in bed and she stretches climbing over him and then down the ladder.

"I think all we are waiting on now is Fliss." He says climbing down too and they walk above deck.

"Yeah Alex and Julia were first here." Cheyenne says squinting as the sunlight hits her eyes.

"Hey guys!" Conrad calls to the two on deck.

"Hey look here comes Fliss." Cheyenne says pointing as Fliss steps onto the Duke.

"I see some things never change." She teases starting up the boat.

"Alright we are all here." Conrad smiles relaxing on one of the benches.

Kaley and Brad offered Cheyenne and Conrad smiles.

"Hey guys, hey Fliss. I'm guessing Julia and Alex are downstairs then?" Kaley asked them.

Brad pressed a kiss to her head before wandering off down the stairs.

"Yeah they were here when we got here, Alex said Julia wanted to rest because you know the baby." Conrad sighs opening his arms up for Cheyenne to cuddle in next to him.

"How far along is she again?" Fliss asks from over her shoulder.

Cheyenne cuddles up to Conrad and she sighs, "6 months I think." She says looking up at him and he nods playing with the ring on her finger.

"Yeah that's what they said at least." Conrad responds as she lays her head back down on his chest.

"So when are you guys getting married?" Fliss asks, finally turning to them.

"Next month." They both say happily and Fliss smiles at her friends.

Kaley watches the three talk, smiles softly. Happy that her friends were happy. She leaned back and watched everyone, smiling the whole time.

"So, how's it feel to be this close?" Kaley asked the happy pair.

Cheyenne looked up at Conrad before looking at Kaley.

"It honestly is the best feeling in the world, I love him so damn much." Cheyenne smiled at Kaley as she brought Conrad's hand up and she kissed it.

"Best thing to happen to me, I love you too." Conrad says softly and he kisses the top of Cheyenne's head.

Kaley smiled sweetly at the sight as they started to hear voices coming back up stairs. Brad and Alex both emerged from the doorway leading to the lower deck.

"Hey, so that's where you disappeared too? Hey Alex." Kaley said, turning slightly.

Brad smiled a bit and walked back over to them.

"I actually went down to put our bags in our room, and I ran into Alex on the way back up." Brad said as he sat back beside her.

Alex waved and gave everyone a smile.

"Hey everyone." He said sitting down with a small yawn.

"How's Julia?" Cheyenne questions as she sits up from Conrad.

"Tired but she's perfectly fine." Alex smiles leaning back relaxing.

"I guess the real question now is when are you and Brad going to get hitched." Conrad says sending a knowing look towards Kaley and Brad.

Brad instantly turned beat red and rubbed his neck. Kaley sat up and smiled at him, from where she had leaned against him.

"We will, when we're both ready. Right now we're just enjoying each other. No stress, no rush. We know it's an option and when the time is right, it's on the table, right?" Kaley said with certainty until the end when she turned to Brad for confirmation.

Brad sat up and wrapped his arms around her from the side.

"Of course it is, you'd have to probably kill someone to get rid of me." He said jokingly.

Everyone, even Brad gave an involuntary shudder before laughing at his joke.

"Don't worry, I have no murderous plans." Kaley said, smiling innocently.

Conrad looked at her and shook his head.

"That look says otherwise." He muttered.

Kaley and Brad leaned back and Kaley gave a short laugh.

"No, really the only thing I plan to kill is maybe a fish if we fish, otherwise hamburgers." She said smiling happily.

*Two years later*

"Careful you know how slippery these docs are." Conrad says holding on to Cheyenne's arm softly.

"Connie, I'm pregnant, not fragile." She warns and he nods.

"I agree, I just want you to be careful ok." He says softly, placing a kiss on her temple and she smiles.

"I will, I promise." She says as they reach the Duke and Conrad breathes a small sigh of relief.

"There they are." Julia smiles and she hugs her brother and Cheyenne as her and Alex's son clings to her.

"Hey there buddy." Conrad smiles at him and takes him from Julia.

"Where is everyone else?" Cheyenne asks, smiling slightly at the sight before her.

"Alex had to make a quick run to get more drinks, Fliss is almost here she just texted me and I'm not sure about Brad and Kaley." Julia says sitting back on a bench and Cheyenne follows, "How's your little one?"

"Oh she's perfect, but her and me both are ready for her to come out." Cheyenne laughs and Julia nods knowing all too well how Cheyenne is feeling.

"Come on, let's go back to mama." Conrad coos softly to the little boy in his arms before he walks back over to the girls and he hands him back to Julia.

"Looks like someone loves his Uncle Conrad." Cheyenne teases and Conrad nods with a smile.

Brad parked the car beside the other one.

"Looks like Conrad and Cheyenne are here, I wonder where Alex and Julia are?" He muses lightly.

Kaley laughs softly.

"They do have a son now, maybe it takes longer to get ready with kids? Besides Fliss isn't here either so, all things considered..." She says with a smirk and sent a small smile towards Brad.

"We made pretty good time." She finishes grabbing her bag, the sun glinting softly on the silver band with the purple and blue stones adorning her finger.

Brad nodded smiling and blushing lightly.

"Right, but some of the delay was traffic." He said, grabbing his bag.

Kaley nodded and looked at him holding out her hand.

"Yeah, but traffic wasn't the only reason. Now come on, let's go see what this crazy group has been upto in the last few months since we've seen them." She said smiling happily.

Brad nodded and grabbed her hand. The two of them walked slowly over the small parking lot, crossing the beach before hitting the dock.

"Oh, Julia is here, where's Alex?" Brad muttered softly.

Kaley shruggs before giving his hand a gentle squeeze.

"Maybe he ran to the store?" She suggested.

Brad nodded accepting that answer.

"Hey guys!" Brad called as they stepped down onto the deck of the Duke.

Kaley smiled and waved as best she could with a bag in her hand, and her other one occupied by Brad.

"Hey everyone." She said smiling happily.

"Hey there they are!" Conrad said standing up and he meets them both with a hug.

"Hey guys." Cheyenne and Julia both say from the bench with a small wave.

"All we are waiting for is Alex and Fliss." Conrad sighs moving to go sit back down next to Cheyenne.

"Alex just got parked and Fliss is 5 minutes out so we should be getting out on the water here soon." Julia says checking her phone and everyone nods.

Brad takes Kaleys bag with a small smile.

"I'm going to go take the bags down to our room, you relax a bit." He said kissing her softly, before moving downstairs.

Kaley smiled and nodded moving to sit on the other bench.

"Alright, but you need to relax too." She said laughing a bit.

"So, how are you guys?" She asked looking at the group at large.

"Well to be expected." Cheyenne teases pointing to her baby bump.

"Tired but good." Julia sighs cradling the little boy in her arms.

"We are good, how are you and Brad?" Conrad asked, offering up a seat for Kaley.

Kaley smiles softly at both girls and nods in thanks to Conrad.

"We're good, we've been busy with work and travel. I actually got the opportunity to dive down and see sharks and rays up close. It was fantastic." Kaley said excitement radiating from her.

"And of course I had about three heart attacks when she said she was diving into a school of sharks." Brad said walking back up and settling down on a chair.

Kaley laughed and pressed a kiss to his check.

"Like, you not telling me the battlefields you were digging in were dangerous didn't cause me my own heart attacks, dear." Kaley said with a small eye roll.

Brad laughed a bit and nodded.

"Yeah, that's fair." He said.

 Brad turned to the others and giving a smile started to dive into a tale from their trip.

"So I'm exploring this old battlefield and I get a text, 'hey by the way diving into sharks! See you later' I thought the rest of the crew were going to have to pick me up off the ground." Brad said waving his hands around.

"That's Kaley for you, leaving something probably dangerous to the last second." Julia laughed softly.

Kaley shook her head and smiled gently.

"I was perfectly safe!" She exclaimed.

"Hey looks like the gang's back together!" Cheyenne exclaimed as both Alex and Fliss walked up.

"Is everyone ready?" Fliss asks with a smile and everyone nods.

"How's my little man?" Alex says sitting down next to Julia.

"He is perfect." Julia smiles at Alex and he nods happily.

*Three years later*

Brad pulled in and parked the car, before shutting it off and running around to get the door for Kaley.

"Brad relax, I'm not going to break." She laughs as she takes his hand to stand up.

Brad nodded and makes sure she was standing ok, reached and grabbed the bags before taking her hand.

"I know, I just want to help." He said smiling and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

Kaley laughed and nodded walking along with him, she let out a small giggle before resting her free hand on her belly, and smiled gently. Brad smiled and reached over rubbing her belly.

"Is little one tossing and turning again?" He asked, smiling.

Kaley laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, but not as much as usual, just a little bit of a floppy." She said smiling.

Brad laughed and rubbed her belly gently.

"You be nice to momma." He said softly and gently.

They continued talking as they walked up the beach, Brad carefully helping Kaley on the deck. She let out a loud laugh.

"Really Brad! I'm fine!" She said giggling.

Brad nodded and helped her down.

"I know you are, but...still." he says as she helps her settle into a bench.

Kaley sighs and settles back, Brad setting the bags by the steps.

"I'm going to run the bags down to our room, you relax for a bit." Brad says smiling.

Kaley leans forward and presses a kiss to his lips. And nodded.

"Alright sounds good, I wonder where everyone else is? Usually they beat us here." Kaley mused, as she settled back.

Brad shrugged as he reached down to grab the bags.

"Maybe it took longer to get ready with the kids?" He suggested as he started down the steps.

"Come on Lily let's go." Conrad said happily, picking up his daughter as the three of them arrived at the docks.

"Connie, I can get some of the bags since you also have Lily." Cheyenne smiles stepping out of the car and he nods handing her 2 bags.

"Looks like Kaley and Brad are here." Conrad said pointing to their car and Cheyenne smiles happily.

"Hey Kaley!" Cheyenne says happily, carefully giving her a hug when they reach the Duke.

"Why don't we run down and find Uncle Brad yeah?" Conrad asks Lily, setting her down and she nods her head happily, blonde curls bouncing.

"How are you?" Cheyenne asked Kaley, turning to her after watching her husband and daughter go below deck.

Kaley laughs and settles back again rubbing her belly.

"I'm as good as can be expected, wore out and I think we're both ready for her to come out. And I feel bad, because Brad has to pick up all the slack that I can't do anymore. But enough about me, how are you doing?" She asks as she refocuses on Cheyenne.

"They always say baby number 2 is easier so like you as can be expected but he's been good and not giving me a hard time, but Connie is always right there acting like I can break at just the smallest of wind gusts but he's super excited to meet our little man." Cheyenne smiled, placing a hand on her belly.

"Hey everyone." Fliss greats stepping onto the deck and the two girls smile and wave at her.

"Hey Fliss!" Cheyenne said happily standing and hugging her friend to which Fliss returned the hug.

"Where is everyone?" She asked looking around.

"Conrad and Lily are below deck with Brad and uh Alex and Julia are almost here." Cheyenne responded when the three from below come up.

"Look Lily it's Aunt Fliss." Conrad whispers to his daughter and the little girl's face lights up and she runs as best as she can over to Fliss.

"Hey pretty girl." Fliss smiles picking the little one up.

"Hi." She says softly hugging Fliss.

With some assistance, Kaley stands and carefully hugs Fliss.

Brad smiling right by Kaley offers a wave before helping her back down. 

"How are you doing Fliss?" He asks looking up from his wife.

"I'm good, it's nice seeing you guys again, like always." Fliss smiles at him as Alex and Julia step onto the boat.

"Aunt Fliss!" Noah shouts and runs over to her hugging her leg.

"Hey little man." She smiles down at him and he giggles.

"Hey guys, how was the drive?" Cheyenne asked and Alex smiled.

"Long but we are here now." Alex said, helping Julia sit down.

"And how are you sis?" Conrad asked, taking a seat next to her.

"Tired but happy to be here with everyone." She smiled at her brother and he nodded.

"Shall we get going?" Fliss asks, setting Lily down and the little girl runs back over to her father.

"Yeah I think we are." Alex sighs, relaxing back a little.

Kaley sighs and looks around with a smile.

"What's up?" Brad whispers to her with a small smile, giving her hand a squeeze.

Kaley smiles at him and rests their joint hands on her belly.

"Just happy, who knew that kind of terrible trip those years ago, would lead to us all having and being one big family?" She said softly as she watched the kids run and play on the deck, while Julia, Alex, Cheyenne and Conrad talk between themselves.

Brad smiled and nodded looking around again.

"Who knew." He agreed.

Cheyenne took a seat next to Conrad and he smiled at her leaning over, placing a kiss on her lips and she smiles relaxed.

"I can't believe all of us are here right now. It feels so good to be surrounded by all this joy when not so long ago it could have been so different." Cheyenne whispered and Conrad nodded, placing a hand on her belly.

"Yeah but we are all here now that's what matters." He whispered, placing a kiss to Cheyenne's temple and she nodded.

"I love you." She said and he smiled wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close.

"I love you too." He said kissing the top of her head and he sighs softly.

And that concludes our little story, our group of friends luckily got out of everything alive and they lived happily.
