Synopsis from IMDB:

Two years after Cole survived a satanic blood cult, he's living another nightmare: high school. And the demons from his past? Still making his life hell.

My synopsis: 

Everything and everyone conspires against Cole and the new girl to kill them before dawn to get what they want.

My review

I truly enjoyed that movie. I don’t like it as much as the first one, but it’s still pretty great. The gore and comedy are over the top and I am here for it. The entire film is like a fever dream in the best way possible.

Rating : 8/10

Spoilery thoughts below I had while watching. You have been warned.

The movie is supposed to be 2 years in the future, but Cole looks 4 years older.

No one believing Cole’s story tracks with Cole’s life. 

He’s still hung up on Max being shirtless.

Still doesn’t like shots. That’s not a thing you get over just because you murdered 5 people.

I love Jenna Ortega.

I would be mortified if a teacher/principal ever did that too me.

So if the parents don’t believe him, what do they think happened to all the dead people? Do they think he did or didn’t kill them?

I would freak out if my childhood stuffed animal randomly showed up in my locker.

Cole isn’t doing himself any favors with the clothes he wears. 

The neighbor’s dad is such a tool. Again, how does he have so much custody?

She arrives via trucker?

She was making out with him. Cole should have known something was up.

But he did pick up on her calling it the devil’s book. Go Cole.

“What the fuck…again!” Ha.

And shirtless Max is back.

“The devil gives good head.” Ha.

I love Max’s character. He’s so supportive of Cole, yet actively trying to kill him. Layers.

I appreciate that she just, believes him. She saw the dead body and that’s all it took.

The Deliverance theme. 

Of course that guy was going to be a jerk.

Cole used the shoelaces trick on him. Perfect.

I’m not a huge fan of Bella Thorn, but I adore her in these movies.

She shot herself in the boob, again!

Cole hit him with the leg. 

“You finally found my dick Cole.” HA.

A hair net but no shirt. So on brand for Max.

You don’t scare someone mid stream. That’s what you get.

The dance/sex montage is unhinged in the best way possible.

Bear McCreary! I love his stuff. 

“I’m taking your IUD.” What?

If your fight scene is going to be cartoonish, why not lean into it.

I like that B was Phoebe's babysitter too.

“You’re not so innocent anymore.”

And Max is proud.

The dad saw. Finally.

Stanuary: Dancing

Bonus fic! This is the song they’re listening to.

Bella sighed, looking out at the ocean. It was late morning; the best time to wake up, in her opinion. Ford had already been awake since six, working and taking care of the boat. She smiled, enjoying feeling the breeze. Goodbye, winter. No more of that “snow” bullshit.

She grinned when Stan kissed the top of her head and set a plate in front of her. “Breakfast! ‘Bout time, I’m starvin’.”

“Poindexter!” Stan called. “C’mon, eat somethin’ for once in your life.” Ford sighed, coming down to the little table and sitting to eat.

“I have eaten food before, you know,” he said.

“When you were 20 doesn’t count.”

Ford rolled his eyes and dug into the food. Bella hummed, poking at her breakfast for a minute. “I feel like we need music this mornin’. It’s a music mornin’.”

“A “music morning”-?”

“Yeah, go ahead.” Stan nodded, mouth already half full. Bella grinned and went to grab her phone, fidgeting with it for a minute.

“Brandon showed me this cool thin’ on here. It’s like a mixtape, but it just plays from here. Hol’ on, lemme find...”

“How are you so good at this stuff?” Stan eyed the device. “It’s just a bunch of junk.”

“Mm, Ah’m very… adaptive?” Bella guessed. “An’ Fidds always used ta show me how to work his stuff. So it ain’t… too dif’rent. Oh!”

“Eh, I think records are better.”

“Well you can mix up what plays on this thing.” Bella pressed the screen. “So it’s like a surprise-” She gasped and grinned, looking up at Stan. “Do ya ‘member this song? We dance t’ it all the time…”

Stan tilted his head a bit, listening. He nodded. “Yeah. It feels like I know it.” Bella set the phone down on the table, swaying to the music.

Gonna put the world away for a minute Pretend I don’t live in it Sunshine gonna wash my blues away

Ford smiled, eating as he watched the two of them. Stan laughed and pretended to be annoyed when Bella tugged him to his feet. She sung along, trying to convince Stan to as well. She finished the first part of the verse and looked up at him. He groaned.

“Had sweet love but I lost it.” Ford winced, grinning a bit at Stan’s voice. “She got too close so I fought it- ah, shut up, poindexter.” Ford laughed again.

-find me a better way

“Wishin’ I was-”

“Knee deep in the water somewhere.” Bella pulled Stan towards the center of the deck, bouncing a bit as they sang. “Got the blue sky, breeze and it don’t seem fair-”

Stan stood a bit awkwardly, but smiled softly while Bella danced fully along to the music. Ford knew that face- Stan really was head over heels for her. He didn’t think he’d ever seen Stan look this lovestruck.

Sunrise, there’s a fire in the sky Never been so happy, Never felt so high

“And I think I might have found me my own kind’a paradise.” Stan blushed when Bella booped his nose.

Ford ate as he enjoyed the show, thinking. He had never really pictured the two of them together. Then again, they had never known each other in his mind, and when he found out, he was pushed into another dimension ten minutes later. But watching them, they were… cute. Maybe they were more alike than he thought.

Wrote a note, said “Be back in a minute” Bought a boat and I sailed off in it Don’t think anybody’s gonna miss me anyway Mind on a permanent vacation The ocean is my only medication Wishin’ my condition ain’t ever gonna go away

Ford couldn't blame them for liking this song, either. Stan always wanted to sail, Bella always dreamed of traveling, or living somewhere nice. ‘Tropical.’

Bella leaned back against the side of the boat, cupping Stan's face to pull him down and kiss him. He held onto her waist, grinning.

“This champagne shore, watchin’ over me. It’s a sweet sweet life, livin’ by the salty sea.” Stan smiled softly, looking out at the ocean again. He looked like he felt… at home, almost. This was what he had been waiting for for 50 years.

-maybe you might be…

“C’mon, sixer.” Stan turned to look at Ford expectedly, who sighed and smiled a bit.

“Knee deep in the water somewhere-” Bella cheered when Ford joined them, albeit shakily.

“Got the blue sky breeze blowin’ wind through my hair.” Almost on queue, a breeze came up from the water, pushing their hair around. “Only worry in the world, is the tide gonna reach my chair.”

Bella playfully leaned on top of Ford’s head. He rolled his eyes and pushed her off, and she twirled back around to Stan, hanging onto his arm. “Come on in, the water’s nice, find yourself a little slice-”

“Grab a backpack otherwise you’ll never know until you try.”

“When you lose yourself…” Bella wrapped her arms around Stan’s neck, leaning up towards him.

“You find the key-”

“-to paradise.”

Bella whistled the last bit of the song, bouncing until the last beat played, and Stan leaned down to kiss her. Ford laughed and smiled when they finally sat back down. Bella blushed and shrugged, taking a bite of her food.

“It’s a good song…”

“No, it’s alright.” Ford looked down. “I… never thought you two would ever be a… couple. But I think I could see why you are.”

“Hey, we gotta be good together if I fell for her twice, huh?” Stan held Bella to his side with one arm, kissing the top of her head. She giggled and shoved him lightly.

“Eat yer breakfast, ya dork.”

Author Interview: Josh Matthews #hellgate #horror

What genre(s) do you write and why?  I’ve written mostly in horror because it gives me the freedom to do what I want. When you write in other genres, such as crime or mysteries, you have to adhere to certain rules and conventions. With horror there are no limitations. My favorite part is creating unique monsters and settings, allowing me to let my imagination run wild. However, I’m trying something new with my latest manuscript, which is a dark political thriller about the Pentagon using scientifically-augmented assassins to go after North Korean leader Kim Chong-un.

Are you a plotter or a pantser? I’m a plotter. I spend weeks developing the storyline in my mind and jotting down scenes/dialogue/character quirks on 3×5 cards and ordering them. Most of the book is written out in my head before I sit down to draft it. Sometimes the book develops a life of its own and takes me places I had not originally planned, which is fine with me. Often those scenes are better than the ones I had outlined.

What do you feel your books offer readers? Entertainment. I don’t include social or political commentary, or life-changing themes, in my books. I write about good versus evil, average people being thrown into unusual and horrifying situations, and how they cope. The only constants in my books are action and suspense.

How long have you been a writer?  I’ve been writing since I was in elementary school, although I wouldn’t have called myself a professional back then. My work consisted of several monster magazines typed on folded-in-half construction paper with photos cut out of other magazines and really bad short stories jotted down in notebooks. I had a fan base of one – my mother.

What was the first book you ever had published? How much time did it take from writing your first book to having it published? The first book I published was about modern vampire hunters, which I wrote under my real name. It took six years to finally find a publisher, and I was told by many established authors that six years was shorter than the industry average at that time. However, once I got my name out there, it only took a few tries to get my other books placed with publishers. With some of my latest books I’ve tried self-publishing, which opens up a whole new world of pros and cons.

What other careers have you had? I worked for the CIA for twenty-three years before retiring in 2013, mostly working against North Korea or involved with weapons of mass destruction or cyber security issues. Before that, I was a jack of all trades – realtor, high school teacher, exterminator, and a dozen other odd jobs.

Do you write under more than one pen name? Why?  Yes, Josh Matthews is my young adult pen name. I also write under my real name, Scott M. Baker. What I publish under my real name is mostly dark, hardcore horror laced with violence and gore. I opted to write my young adult books under a pen name because I didn’t want a twelve year old enjoying Hell Gate, picking up one of my other books, and being shocked.

When you create characters, do you base them on real people? Only one character was based on a real life person. Drake Matthews from The Vampire Hunters trilogy was an iced-coffee drinking, whiskey swilling, cigar smoking adventurer who owned a pet rabbit named Van Helsing. Except for the adventurer part, Drake was based on me, so I got to live vicariously through Drake.

How do your family and/or friends feel about your book or writing venture in general? Most of my family and friends get a kick out of the fact that I’m a writer, but they have never read my books. The only close family member who is really excited about my career is my wife, Alison Beightol, the author of The Primigenio Tales trilogy. We met because we both wrote vampire novels and eventually fell in love. Who says horror can’t be romantic?

Where are you from? I was born and raised in Boston, spent over two decades living in the Washington D.C. area and overseas, and retired for four years in northern Florida. As I write this, my family is packing to move to New England.

How do you come up with the titles? I think up several possible titles for my books and then run them through Amazon to make sure they have not been used. Those that survive I run past my beat readers for their input. My daughter Maddy is my best source of titles; she came up with Nazi Ghouls from Space and Mutant Assassin Group (the title of my soon-to-be-published dark political thriller).

What do you do for fun? For fun I spend time with my family, play with the pets, read (usually horror and post-apocalyptic fiction and histories of World War II and the Cold War).

 Do you work on one project at a time? Or do you multi-task? I thrive on multi-tasking. I write a book and send it off to my beta readers and, as they review it, I begin the first draft of another book. Then I switch off, sending the newest book to the beta readers while I incorporate their suggestions and do the final edits on the first book. In between, I’m outlining upcoming books and/or writing short stories.

What kind of kid were you? Which social path did you take?  I was a total geek as a kid. Farah Fawcett posters on my wall. Aurora monster models on my book shelves. A stack of Famous Monsters of Filmland under my bed. I became more serious in college, studied history with the intent of teaching, and eventually wound up working for the CIA. But I still enjoy my roots and love going to horror conventions because I feel right at home with the other people there.

Do you have any pets? At the moment I have four pets – two cats, Archer and Michonne, who think they run the house and two boxers, Bella and Walther. The cats are jealous of the dogs’ fame because Walther and Bella are the inspiration for Lucifer and Lilith, the werehounds in Hell Gate.

 If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you travel?  I’ve already traveled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. I’m one of those eccentrics who enjoy locations off the beaten path that are not frequented by a lot of tourists, especially locations related to World War II. The two spots I really want to see are Pyongyang, North Korea, as well as Chernobyl and the abandoned town of Pripyat in Ukraine.

 Do you have a favorite beverage that you drink when you write? Iced water or iced coffee. If I’m writing late at night, I enjoy whiskey.

 Please tell us 5 miscellaneous facts about yourself. 1) I used to smoke a cigar a day, but I kicked the habit nearly four years ago (although I do indulge on special occasions).  2) I’m a huge World War II aficionado and have taken numerous trips to see battlefields and locations associated with the war.  3) I am not a Star Wars fan but am a huge Trekkie.  4) My hobby is collecting militaria; my collection includes artifacts from Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Communist China, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and the regime of Saddam Husayn.  5) When I was fourteen I got to fly a small plane over southern New Hampshire.

 Please share with us your future projects and upcoming releases. The sequel to Hell Gate is scheduled for release this October. The first draft of the third book in the series is almost complete, and I’ve begun plotting out the fourth book. Also, my dark political thriller is currently with an agent who is reviewing it, and hopefully will be released in 2018. I’ve already begun research on the sequel, which involves a biological warfare attack on a major city.

  BRIEF AUTHOR BIO:

Josh Matthews is a former New Englander who has returned to his roots along with his wife, teenage daughter, and four lovable but exasperating pets. Josh used to work for the U.S. Government where he had the opportunity to travel around the world and be exposed to numerous cultures, many of which will appear in the Hell Gate saga. He has always been a fan of horror novels and monster movies, and sees the Hell Gate saga as his way to share that love with a new generation of fans.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Sixteen-year-old Jason McCreary is living a nightmare within a nightmare. Not only is he trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by demons from Hell, he also shoulders the burden for humanity’s fate as it was his mother who opened the gates in a scientific experiment gone wrong.

In a last ditch effort to redeem his family name and erase his guilt, Jason joins a squad whose mission is to travel to Paris and close the Hell Gate. Once there, they discover an environment more frightening than anything they could imagine and demons more terrifying than they had ever encountered before.

Time is now against them.

Can Jason gain his redemption along with the respect of his peers, or will a new web of lies threaten to rip apart his world and jeopardize his team’s only chance for success?

BOOK EXCERPT:

The stillness belied the danger that lurked in the shadows of every alley and doorway of St. Mere Eglise. Jason McCreary found it unsettling. Most of the towns along the Normandy coast had been abandoned long ago. Animals now flourished amongst the desolation, with livestock and wildlife replacing humans. That wasn’t the case today. Even the birds had left, plunging the town into an eerie silence that forewarned of an approaching evil. Experience had taught Jason that when the animals fled it was to escape from Hell Spawn. He made his way along the center of Rue Eisenhower, clutching his crossbow, ready to shoot if necessary. Despite walking lightly, his footsteps echoed through town, sounding like a dinner bell for the dead. His eyes scanned the buildings. Nothing moved except overgrown grass and weeds that swayed in the wind. The same wind tousled several blond strands across his face. Jason used his free hand to push them back behind his ears.

Jason took a deep breath to calm his nerves, holding it for several seconds before exhaling. It did little good. His heart still raced, and his hands trembled, knowing that something demonic could lunge out of the shadows at him at any moment. He glanced down to the werehounds that stayed close by his side. Lilith brought up Jason’s right flank. She looked like a large wolf with shiny black fur. Her head darted from side to side, seeking out anything that could be a threat. Occasionally, she glanced behind them to make certain nothing approached from their rear. Lucifer walked along on his left. He resembled an American bulldog. His ears stood straight up, listening for any noise that signified danger. When Lucifer saw his master staring at him, his tail wagged. After the brief display of affection, he went back to prowling for Hell Spawn.

Jason sniffed the air to see if he could smell the demons. A tickle formed in the back of his throat, causing him to hack against the rear of his hand. Ever since the opening of the Hell Gate, the air had taken on an unpleasant odor. Father Chirac referred to it as the brimstone stench of Hell. Jason had no idea what the priest meant. To him, the air smelled like the living room of his old house after his mother built a fire in the fireplace, only mixed with the stench of rot and shit.

As he glanced from building to building, Jason chastised himself. He didn’t like being separated from the group, yet he only had himself to blame for being the point man in a potential battle royale. Yesterday, a scouting party on horseback had reported Hell Spawn moving across the countryside toward St. Mere Eglise; they had been unable to conduct a proper reconnaissance because of the approaching dusk. A search and destroy team had been sent out that morning to assess the threat and deal with it. Jason was part of that team. A mile outside of town, the team had dismounted and left their horses with a rear guard unit so they could proceed on foot. Andre had ordered Jason to go ahead and scout the area. When Sasha had protested sending him in alone, Jason had interrupted and said he wanted to take point. He didn’t know if he had been trying to impress Andre or had been embarrassed by having Sasha fight his battles for him, not that it mattered. His stupid sixteen-year-old vanity had gotten the better of him. Now he was heading into a town probably overrun by Hell Spawn.

“And I wonder why they keep calling me Bait.”

Lucifer looked up with his soulful brown eyes and whined, sensing his discomfort.

“I’m fine, boy. I need a bit more common sense than pride.” He reached down and scratched Lucifer behind the ears, who wagged his tail once more.

Jason closed his eyes and concentrated. He could sense the others following half a mile to the rear. Most of the team registered as one signature, giving off an aura of concern over not knowing what to expect. Three stood out. Andre and Slava, both of whom who were excited about the possibility of combat, and Sasha, who was afraid. Not for herself, though. She feared for Jason’s safety. He grinned at the remote display of affection.

At the corner, the street opened up. To the right sat a parking lot empty except for a few dust-covered vehicles. In the far corner sat St. Mere Eglise church, the one made famous when an American paratrooper got stuck on the belfry during the D-Day landings. He remembered seeing that in an old black-and-white war movie he watched with his dad. Red Skelton, or Buttons, or someone with a weird name like that had played the paratrooper. To the left was the Airborne Museum that commemorated the Normandy invasion. Jason veered off the street and into the outer edge of the parking lot. The werehounds stayed close.

He had approached to within twenty feet of the intersection of Rue Eisenhower and Rue de Gaulle when a single figure shambled out into the middle of the street. A Nachzehrer. A flesh eater that fed off of humans. These demons were slow and uncoordinated, so dealing with one or two was easy. However, a horde of Nachzehrer could strip a man to the bones in minutes. Jason had seen hundreds like it during the past few months. Naked, emaciated, and with leathery gray skin dried out from the fires of Hell. It stumbled along, its gaze fixed on the road. The demon hadn’t noticed him yet. He raised the crossbow and aimed at the skull above the right ear. Lucifer growled. The noise caught the Nachzehrer’s attention. Its head shot up and its lifeless, cloudy eyes fixed on Jason. When its mouth dropped open, a mournful wail emanated from cracked, desiccated lips. Jason readjusted his aim and pulled the trigger. The arrow sliced through the Nachzehrer’s left eye. The demon dropped to the ground, a final moan escaping from its lungs as its life force drained from its body, creating a small eddy of blue light that twisted in the air for a moment before dissipating.

Jason reached around to pull another arrow from its quiver when the stench of decayed flesh filtered into his nose, a smell so overpowering his stomach heaved. As he swallowed back his vomit, a chorus of wails shattered the calm. A swarm of Nachzehrer flowed out of Rue de Gaulle and filled the square. A bloated female noticed Jason and screeched. The others turned and, spotting food, shambled towards him. At least a hundred Nachzehrer emerged from the side street, all of them bearing down on Jason. Even worse, he saw four gray shapes darting among the horde. Though he couldn’t get a good view because of the Nachzehrer, he recognized the bat-like bodies and bulbous, eyeless heads with gaping mouths.

Shit! Soul vampires!

“Come on, guys!” Jason said to Lilith and Lucifer. He ran for the church. Lilith stayed close to protect her master. Lucifer defiantly barked at the approaching horde before spinning around and sprinting away.

Reaching the door to St. Mere Eglise church, Jason tried the knob. It was locked. He rammed his shoulder into the door several times. It wouldn’t budge. Placing his back against the wall, Jason scanned the area and weighed his options. Nachzehrer stretched out across the parking lot. They were still over fifty feet away, and he could easily outrun them. Three of the soul vampires spread out behind the first line of Nachzehrer, preparing to attack, and they would cut him down if he moved out in the open. If he stayed with his back against the church so he couldn’t be surrounded and fight, he might have a chance. With luck, the rest of the team would reach him before the Nachzehrer did.

“Can we eat it soon, Jenny?”

“Ssh!” Jenny waved Mabel’s hand away, continuing to decorate the cake with little frosting flowers. “Do you wanna wake up Grandma and Grandpa before it’s ready?”

Mabel sighed and sat back in her chair at the table. She set her head in her hand, watching Jenny work carefully. She was getting hungry, and she really wanted some cake-

She looked at one of the containers of frosting sitting open on the table. There were about five or six of them of various colors. She shrugged, grabbing the pink one tipped on its side and digging her finger in. She licked off the glob of frosting and grinned. Mm! She dug out a few more fingerfuls of frosting before looking up when Jenny began to speak.

“I think it’s coming along alright, what d’you think, Mabel-? Mabel!”

“What!” Mabel cried, mouth full of frosting. “I thought you were done with the pink!”

“Well don’t just eat it out of the container like that! Use a spoon! Other people wanna eat frosting too, y’know.” Jenny rolled her eyes and grabbed a spoon, pulling out some of the purple frosting and taking a bite.

Mabel giggled, wiping some frosting from the side of the container and swiping it across her cousin’s nose. Jenny squeaked, glaring playfully and smearing some purple frosting on Mabel’s cheek.

Soon, an all-out frosting war had begun. Using the leftover frosting, the two girls threw globs of it across the kitchen at each other. A large orange glob landed in Jenny’s hair, only to be met with a mess of green frosting hitting Mabel in the eyes. The two of them screamed and laughed, effectively waking the whole shack.

“Mabel, what the heck is going-” Dipper’s sentence was interrupted by half of the blue container’s contents landing on his hat. Jenny froze, her blue fingers squeezing together by her side. Mabel squealed and laughed loudly as Dipper turned red.

“Guys! C’mon, it’s 8:00 in the morning- why are you throwing frosting around the kitchen?” He pouted as he scooped the frosting off his hat and dropped it to the floor. Mabel bounced over and poked Dipper’s nose, leaving a smudge of red frosting behind.

“Because it’s fun, Dip-Dop!”

“You’re gonna have to clean this up, you know.”

“C’mon Dippingsauce, stop being such a buzzkill!” Jenny whined, sucking on her finger.

“Why do you have all this frosting, anyway? Where’d you get it?” Dipper grabbed one of the empty containers off the ground. “Did you steal them?”

“Pfft! No.” Mabel rolled her eyes.

“I don’t know, Mabel! Anything for your “projects.” Grunkle Stan’s been rubbing off on you, too.”

“Actually, this project was Jenny’s idea!” Mabel wrapped an arm around Jenny’s shoulders, wiping her hand off on her shirt. Jenny took the frosting and rewiped it on Mabel’s face.

“Yeah! We’re makin’ a cake for Grandma and Grandpa!” Jenny bounced over to show Dipper. “And we didn’t steal anything. We asked Grandma for the money for a secret surprise. So don’t tell them!”

“Don’ tell us what? Why there’s frostin’ coverin’ every inch’a the kitchen?” Bella leaned in the doorway, her arms folded.

“GRANDMA!” Jenny jumped, standing in front of the cake.

“Graunty Bella, you can’t ruin the surprise!” Mabel ran over and pushed her out of the room. “Out, get out!”

Stan raised an eyebrow at the glimpse he got at the kitchen. “You’re cleaning that up.”

“Ok, ok! Just don’t come in yet!” Mabel ordered. “Go, shoo!”

Stan grumbled, complaining about not getting coffee as he went down the hall. Bella shook her head and followed him. Mabel hurried back into the kitchen.

“Quick, finish the decorating, Jenny!”

“Ok, ok!” Jenny grabbed the next frosting piper, quickly switching between colors to put the last few details on the cake. Dipper begrudgingly began cleaning up the kitchen, while Mabel wiped the frosting off of herself.

“And… done!” Jenny soon announced. She wiped the frosting off of her face and licked it from her hands. Mabel squealed, bouncing in place. “Go get Grandma and Grandpa!”

Mabel ran out of the kitchen, shouting for Stan and Bella. Dipper came over to look at the cake, blinking. “Wow, that’s really good, Jenny.”

“Thank you! I’ve never done anything like it before.” Jenny grinned proudly.

“Are we allowed ta see why y’all made the kitchen such a mess now?” Bella asked as Mabel pulled her and Stan in by their hands.

“Ta-da!” The two girls presented, stepping aside so Stan and Bella could see the cake. It was covered in little flowers and hearts surrounding a frosting image of the two of them. Jenny grinned, bouncing on her toes as she waited for their reactions.

“Aw! Sweetie, you did this?” Bella asked. “That’s real good! You been practicin’ this?”

“Mm-hm!”

“Uh- yeah, kid, that’s pretty cool.” Stan smiled and ruffled Jenny’s hair. “Thanks. Now uh- clean up the kitchen, all of ya.”

“What!” Dipper cried. “But I didn’t do this!”

“No buts. Get to work.”

Homework: The Game

“Lee. Can ya come here, please?”

Lee slid into the seat across the table, avoiding looking at Bella. His leg bounced against the floor, and he kept staring at his hands.

“Ah got yer report card t’day,” Bella said, setting it on the table and sliding it across. There were a majority of D’s, one F, and a single A. In gym class. “What’s goin’ on?”

“I don’ know…” Lee said quietly.

“Sweetie, y’ain’t in trouble. Heaven knows Ah struggled in school, too. ...yer case manager called an’ said ya haven’ been doin’ yer homework very much. Is there a reason?”

“It’s too borin’,” Lee said, pouting a bit. “It’s like torture!”

“Ah. Yup.” Bella nodded and sat back, folding her arms loosely. “Yeah. That’s what Ah thought might be the problem.”

“You did?”

“Homework never was fun past elementary school.” Bella grimaced. “Alright. So we gotta figure out a way ta make yer homework fun.”

“How?”

“...we make it inta a game.”

“Girls! C’mere!”

Ella and Marcella came down the hall to where Bella was waiting. Marcella had her headphones around her neck and a pencil behind her ear.

“What’s up?” Ella asked.

“We're helpin’ yer brother do his homework. Wait in the living room.”

She hurried off, leaving the twins to look at each other in confusion. Bella found Stan in the gift shop, counting the profits from that day.

“Stan! Money down, t’ the livin’ room.”

“What? Why?”

“Helpin’ Lee with his homework. C’mon.”

“Alright y'all, here’s the rules.”

Stan, the twins, and Lee were all sitting at the dining room table with a sheet of paper and a pencil. Bella sat in front of them, holding the math worksheet Lee had for homework.

“Ah’ll read out the problem. Whoever completes it first gets a piece’a candy.” Bella grabbed the bag of candy from the chair and set it on the table in plain sight. Lee sat up a bit, grinning. “An’ if it’s right, ya get a second piece. There’ll be absolutely no cheatin’. If Ah catch ya lookin’ at someone else’s work, ya miss the opportunity ta earn candy fer the next round. Everybody clear on the rules?”

“Yup..”

“Yeah.”

“Mm-hm!”

“Alright. You can start workin’ soon as Ah finish readin’ out the problem,” Bella instructed. She looked at the worksheet. “77 times 6.”

The four of them started on the problem, and Lee was moving quickly to finish first. A few seconds passed before he shouted “Done!” and held his paper up. Bella looked over the problem, entering it into her calculator.

“Good job, Lee!” She grinned and set two pieces of candy on Lee’s paper. He quickly ate them, beaming and bouncing his leg as he got ready for the next problem.

Fidds and Bella, 12?

12. “Since when can you eat garlic? Can you take selfies too?”

Fidds is a Christian vampire I feel like there might be a conflict of interests there djhgfdljkhgs

Bella sat in one of the dining rooms in the manor, having a snack with Stan and Ford. It was late- well past ten at night. Fiddleford entered after a bit, yawning and stretching.

“Hey, y’all,” he greeted, waving a bit.

“Hey.

“Hey Fiddlesticks.”

“Hello, darling.”

Fiddleford smiled and prepared himself “breakfast”, which happened to be garlic bread. He sat down and took a bit, to the shocked faces of the other three.

“...what?” He asked.

“Since when can you eat garlic?” Bella asked, then gasped. “Can you take selfies, too?”

“Oh, uh- well, Ah was avoidin’ it since Ah turned- y’know, bein’ safe.” Fiddleford shrugged. “But, uh, Ah tried it the other day, an’ nothin’ really happened. Ah figured not every myth ‘bout vampires can be true, can they?”

“It would be unlikely,” Ford said. “We didn’t even know vampires could eat normal food along with requiring blood. Well, until you.”

Fiddleford smiled.

“As fer selfies- the only reason vampires didn’ show up in cameras an’ mirrors a’fore is ‘cause they used silver,” he said. “An’ modern mirrors an’ cameras don’t. So- yeah, Ah can take selfies.”

“Lit.” Bella grinned and scooted over next to her friend, grabbing her phone and holding it up to take a picture. Fiddleford grinned, showing off his sharp canines as Bella turned on the Snapchat filter and took the picture.
