A Dreamworld Dandy's World AU Crossover: Welcome to DreamGardens
So after getting into Dandy’s World I’ve been messing around with a crossover au with Delilah Keen being Sara’s mother. I have like 5 AUs in total of this concept, but one in mind that's been plaguing my mind is this one: Welcome to DreamGardens:
So here's what's going down:
Sara is Delilah Keen's daughter in this AU. No idea who the dad is, BUT its not Arthur if anyone was curious.
Gardenview does shut down, but later in time rather then 2002.
Instead of animatronics, Starlight and the others as well as Morris and Astra are toons created by ichor. Winnie is not possessed by Carlos, but that's unknown as of now.
Also unknown is the fate of Litho. Either he's around and bothering some other person for immortality leaving Sara alone, or this specific AU he does not exist. If I get ideas I'll add on to it via the fanfic.
Another (and last) unknown fate is Sara's bullies. Since Nightlight, Gruff, and Lorenzo are toons. Its highly unclear if the bullies just die or are alive (or a mix of both: one dies the rest are alive)
The toons do take care and befriend Sara during her childhood. So there are wholesome moments with the toons and Sara.
The Toon Handlers are concerned for Sara's wellbeing since she's friends with the toons and not human kids.
After Gardenview shuts down, the toons whereabouts are unclear. Either they ALL live with Sara and Delilah, or they live with the toon Handlers, Arthur, and Delilah and visit once in a while.
Sara still has Delilah as her mom. Her dad is unknown at this time. Celio is still around, but is Sara's babysitter then caretaker.
When Sara befriends Lewis, the toons don't like him at first and they do interrogate him. When Lewis shows he doesn't wanna harm Sara (and he's gay) they leave him alone and like him. Sara does tell Lewis, and later Oliver, his siblings, Eric, Carly, Norman, and Wiatt about the toons and how they were brought to life. Though Wiatt finds out on his own and Sara just comes clean.
Speaking of, Oliver, Ben, Liz, Carly, Eric, and Norman have their own reactions to the toons being alive. However, they are all take it well.
Time skip to Dreamworld being built, and Delilah joins Sara, her friends, Eric, and Norman (who is alive in this AU). Delilah tells Sara how to use Ichor to bring the toons to life. They use Starlight first and its a success. Sara does the same to the others and Delilah is proud of her daughter.
That's all I'm gonna share for now. If anyone is interested in more let me know!

Nothing Bad Happens Chap. 11-Millie and the Defunction Crew
Here is the next chapter for all of you! This time were bringing in the defunct animatronics!
This chapter was supposed to be chapter 12, however I got too excited for this one and the original chapter 11 (which was bringing in more Dreamworld characters) wasn’t ready yet. I got the plot on who I’m bringing in and what’s going to happen, but my brain isn’t letting me bring the story to life. I hope that makes sense!
Also from the title yes I’m bringing in the defunct animatronics, and YOUR GONNA LOVE what I have planned for one of them because this idea has been rent free in my mind for MONTHS!! I really hope you do like it!
Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.
Enjoy!
It was a long day at Dreamworld as a field trip, a couple of birthday parties, and an after-school club had all been holding events simultaneously. Everyone worked their hardest, attending to kids and making sure everyone had a safe and fun time. Once the last party ended and the guests went home, the Dreamworld employees stayed behind to clean up and restock items.
Wiatt and Audrey had been in the storage room putting away the decorations for the party that took place over at Trampoland. “Man, today was exhausting!” Wiatt exclaimed, stretching.
“You can say that again,” Audrey replied. “My uniform is still damp from the water gun fight.”
Wiatt chuckled as he put one of the boxes back on the shelf. The two employees heard a thud and turned around seeing some boxes shuffling in the corner. Wiatt and Audrey looked at each other and smirked, thinking it was one of the animatronics playing a prank on them. 
“Alright, Melody,” Wiatt started as he and Audrey started to walk towards the boxes. “If that’s you trying to scare us then just come out and do it. It’s not going to work.”
The shuffling continued and Wiatt shushed his co-worker as he went in to surprise the changeling animatronic. He grabbed one of the boxes and removed them, but was surprised not to see the purple triplet, but a goat animatronic.
The animatronic was brown with small horns, green eyes with black sclera, and a mint green bowtie on her neck. She looked skittish seeing the two employees and ran off, tackling Wiatt in the process.
“Was that a goat?” Wiatt asked, looking up to where the animatronic ran off.
“Looked like it.” Audrey replied.
Wiatt looked at his co-worker. “Do you know who that is?”
Audrey shook her head, but she did have a clue on the mystery animatronic’s identity. “I do know the founders had to scrap four animatronics due to some technical errors that Lewis or Oliver couldn’t fix.”
Wiatt wondered if Sara had something to do with it. As if it were Lewis or Oliver’s mistake, they would be able to fix it in a flash. Wiatt decided not to worry about it now. The two continued putting the boxes back on the shelf.
After they were done storing everything away, Audrey got ready to head out for the night. “Are you busy tonight?” She asked Wiatt, putting her black jacket over her uniform. “Hayden, Pen, Andrew, and I are going to a karaoke bar, want to join?”
“I wish I could.” Wiatt replied. “However, Lewis wants me to stay behind and do a quick maintenance check on the animatronics. After today’s events, he wants to make sure they're good to go for tomorrow.”
Audrey sighed, “well I hope you have fun with us in spirit!” She beamed. “Maybe next week?”
Wiatt nodded, “sure.”
Audrey smiled and waved goodbye to her co-worker before leaving the building and getting into the front seat of Hayden’s car before the party drove off. 
Wiatt waved back before he heard Starlight groan. He turned around and saw the star animatronic looking tired.
“Today was one of the craziest days I ever delt with, darling.” Starlight complained.
“I know.” Wiatt sighed, it wasn’t his first time working a busy shift, but seeing the animatronics having limits surprised him.
“I had three kids put stickers on my back and my support beam!” Starlight yelled, showing all the stickers that were on him. Wiatt chuckled, making the animatronic glare. “It’s not funny!”
“It is! The sticker that says, “I sparkle!” suits you!” Wiatt laughed. Starlight, glared and growled at the mechanic. Wiatt calmed down his laughter and went over to the animatronic. “Alright, alright, I’ll get the stickers off you, but could we keep…” Starlight glared as his eyes turned red and purple warning the mechanic not wanting to keep a single sticker on him. “Noted.”
Wiatt started to peel the stickers off the animatronic, starting with the support beam. Luckily, they were easy to peel off, not leaving a single speck of sticker residue. While removing the stickers, Wiatt had to ask the star animatronic a question.
“Star.” Wiatt started.
“What is it, darling?” Starlight asked.
“Do you know anything about a goat animatronic?”
Starlight’s eyes widened, he never heard of another animatronic other than the ones present. “No, sorry.” He answered.
Wiatt sighed, “it’s alright. I just figured since  Lewis tells you everything.”
“Oh he did,” Starlight replied. He narrowed his eyes and gave a smirk, “especially about you, darling.” Starlight booped Wiatt’s nose making him chuckle.
“Okay, what did he tell you then?” Wiatt asked.
Starlight froze as he tried to think on how to explain it to the mechanic. “Well…he said you were an amazing boyfriend, and that he misses you.” He explained.
Wiatt rolled his eyes knowing Lewis missed him too, and yes, he was amazing. “What else?”
“He talked about his friends, my backstory….” Starlight trailed off, trying to think of what to tell the mechanic.
“What about the scrapped animatronics?”
“Sadly no.” Starlight replied. “Why are you so interested in scrapped animatronics?”
Wiatt told Starlight about the goat animatronic he and Audrey ran into, and how his co-worker brought up the defunct animatronics. Starlight’s eyes widened in surprise as to him this was the first time hearing about this.
“Well, that’s the first I heard about this, darling.” Starlight replied. “Lewis never told me about the defunct animatronics. Although he mentioned one of them was to be used for the Arcadescape.”
Wiatt frowned, “so Lewis kept a lot from you, huh?”
“He did.” Starlight replied.
Wiatt wondered what kind of secrets Lewis kept from Starlight, the other animatronics, and even some of the employees. Lewis usually never kept secrets from anyone, he was always open and shared everything.
“That doesn’t sound like the Lewis I remembered. He was always open to talk about everything.” Wiatt said as he was removing the rest of the stickers.
“Well you could talk to him or Sara about it.” Starlight suggested.
“Why Sara?” Wiatt asked.
“Well when I was brought to life, Sara and Lewis had a few private conversations.”
Wiatt’s eyes widened and he glared. “They what?” He yelled, ripping a sticker from Starlight.
“OW! WATCH IT!” Starlight yelled.
“You mean to tell me Lewis and Sara are keeping secrets from us?”
Starlight’s scarlet mask went on his face. “Not a lot of secrets, Lewis told me some of them like how Sara used some of his soul to bring me to life,” he explained. “Though the motives are…” he paused as images of that day played in his head. “Blurry to say the least.”
Wiatt got up and started to make his way to the offices of the founders. “I’m going to have a long chat with my boyfriend and that bitch.” He growled.
Starlight felt guilty that he shared a bit too much information with Wiatt. He let out a sigh, “sorry, darling.” He whispered.
Wiatt went through the hallway hoping he’d talk with Lewis and get his side of the story. He stopped to see Sara’s office door was open and the goat animatronic from earlier was running out, looking scared.
“Huh?” Wiatt questioned.
The goat animatronic looked up at Wiatt and hid behind him.
“W-What’s going on little one?” Wiatt asked.
“Wiatt.”
Wiatt looked up to see Sara, looking surprised. However, he sensed something was different about the female founder. “I-I thought you’d be home by now.”
“N-No, you told me to stay behind and check on the animatronics before I left.” Wiatt replied.
“Sara” walked closer to him, and Wiatt stepped back along with the goat animatronic who was scared of the female founder.
“It seems like I forgot!” “Sara” exclaimed, letting out a chuckle. “Well, you could go home now,” she paused as she looked over at the small goat, “and let me take care of the trespasser.”
The goat squeaked and shivered, stepping back, ready to run again. Wiatt looked down at the goat and saw she was horrified being left alone with the female founder.
“Before I go. I need to ask, who is this animatronic?” Wiatt asked.
“Who cares!” “Sara” spat, “It's a trespasser!”
Wiatt glared, “How is she a trespasser, Sara? or should I say, Litho?”
Sara, or rather, Litho’s eyes widened as she let out a chuckle. “So you saw right through me.” He said as his voice changed to his natural one.
“I’m not stupid. I don’t trust Sara, but I know her well enough.” Wiatt explained. “Also it was Lewis who told me to stay behind not Sara.”
“Trying to be one step ahead of me, huh Nicholson?” Litho asked.
“Sara told me about you, why do you keep messing with her?” Wiatt asked.
Litho smirked, “why are you so concerned for her? I thought you hated me?” Litho said, mimicking Sara’s voice in order to get to Wiatt.
“I never trusted Sara, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have someone ruin her life.” Wiatt replied.
Litho chuckled, “aww that’s sweet. You care for her.” He mocked.
“Ugh…I don’t,” Wiatt replied disgusted, “but I know Lewis and Oliver do.”
“Well, it would be a shame if something happened to them thanks to their friend.” Litho said, smirking.
Wiatt growled hearing Litho would harm Lewis and Oliver and put the blame on Sara.
“But,” Litho spoke, getting closer to Wiatt, causing him and the goat animatronic to step back, “before I can get to them, I should get to you and the little goat first.”
The goat animatronic squeaked, shivering and bracing herself as Wiatt went in to protect her.
Litho stopped and grunted as he held his head. “N-No!” Sara spoke out.
Wiatt looked at Sara and saw she was fighting, trying to remove Litho from control.
“I’m not…letting you…hurt them!” Sara struggled.
“Sara…” Waitt whispered.
Sara looked up at the mechanic, “Wiatt, take Millie and run!” She yelled.
“Millie?” Wiatt turned to the smaller goat animatronic and saw her run off in fear.
“Don’t just stand there!” Sara yelled. “Protect her!”
Sara yelled out in pain as Litho took control once more, “stay out of this you pest!” He growled.
“No!” Sara yelled, taking control again. “I’m not letting you hurt her! Wiatt run!”
Wiatt listened and ran after Millie to protect her as Sara struggled with Litho for control of her body.
Millie ran as fast as her legs could take her, she turned and saw Wiatt following behind, then running faster to get away from him.
“W-Wait! Millie!” Wiatt yelled, trying to catch up to the goat animatronic. “I won’t hurt you!”
Millie turned a corner and ran into an open room, hiding behind some boxes. Wiatt came in and looked around.
The goat animatronic stayed still as possible as she watched Wiatt look for her. She slowly stepped back, only to hit a box in the process making her jump and topple all boxes to the ground.
Wiatt saw the boxes fall with Millie in the middle of the mess. Scared at what she did, Millie dashed out of the wreckage and tried to escape through a door, but due to her small size she couldn’t reach the door knob, and having hooves it made it difficult to jump for it. She saw Wiatt’s shadow and realized she was cornered.
“It’s okay.” Wiatt reassured the goat animatronic. “I’m not going to hurt you. I promise.”
Millie started to hyperventilate trying to find a way to escape.
Seeing how scared she was, Wiatt stopped and kneeled down to Millie’s level. “Millie, it’s okay. I just want to protect you.” He said.
Millie looked up at the mechanic who held his hand out. She looked at it and into the eyes of Wiatt.
“It’s alright. I’m here.”
The goat animatronic slowly walked over to Wiatt, which made him smile a bit. Millie got closer to him and sniffed his hand. Seeing he wasn’t harmful, she allowed Wiatt to pet her. He smiled more seeing Millie trusted him, eventually allowing him to to carry her.
“Okay, now let’s find a safe place to hide.” Wiatt said.
Millie nodded in reply. This surprised Wiatt as most of the animatronics spoke, but not Millie. He wondered whose soul was in her, why Litho wanted Millie so much, and how come she wasn’t talking?
These thoughts distracted Wiatt from the three figures sneaking up behind him. He heard a mechanical sound and sighed. “Alright, Starlight, Ribbondancer, or whoever is behind me right now, I just had a crazy fucking night. I don’t need you sneaking…” Wiatt paused, seeing three unknown animatronics behind him.
One was a moon shaped animatronic and wore an outfit similar to Starlight, the other was a red moth animatronic, and the last one was another goat animatronic, though he was bigger than Millie.
“O-Oh hello.” Wiatt said.
“Why hello there!” The moth animatronic exclaimed. “I’m the wonderful, magnificent Lorenzo, and these are my compadres; Nightlight and Gruff.” Lorenzo put a hand on his chest while he pointed at his other two friends.
Nightlight gave a wave and nervous smile, while Gruff gave a humph glaring at Wiatt.
“What brings you down here?” Lorenzo asked.
“O-Oh I was just protecting Millie.” Wiatt answered.
“Ah. I guess you know her.” Lorenzo said, glaring.
“W-Who? Millie?” Wiatt asked.
“No. No. No! Millie is her favorite.”
Wiatt realized what the moth animatronic meant by, her. “You mean Sara?”
Lorenzo smiled. “Ding! Ding! Ding congratulations you win a prize!” He exclaimed, pumping his hands up like he was ringing a bell.
Wiatt was confused, and looked at Millie. “Uh…I never thought Sara would have another favorite.”
Millie smiled sheepishly in reply, which made Wiatt smile.
“I’m surprised too, I mean she did pick the most boring people to be her friends.” Lorenzo replied, rolling his eyes.
Millie and Wiatt’s eyes widened, as Millie glared at the moth animatronic. It took Wiatt a second before he glared at Lorenzo as well. “What did you say?” Wiatt asked.
Lorenzo chuckled, “oh come now, you said it yourself…Sara…sweet boring Sara, making friends. Yet, she made friends with a wimp, and a kill joy!”
“Hey, my boyfriend is not a killjoy!” Wiatt yelled.
“Ah, so you're the second star to the right, Lorenzo brought up.” Nightlight said.
Wiatt opened his mouth to say something, but realized that Lorenzo had a good nickname for him. Long, but a good one. “I can’t hate you for that one.”
Lorenzo chuckled as he leaned over to Gruff, “told ya.”
“Idiot.” Gruff grumbled.
Nightlight chuckled as Lorenzo glared at his friends.
“So, how do you know Sara?” Wiatt asked.
The three animatronics looked at one another. “Wait, you didn’t know what she did to us?” Nightlight asked.
“N-No.” Wiatt replied, shocked. He then glared, “what did she do?” Millie shivered, sensing Wiatt’s anger.
Nightlight looked over at Lorenzo and Gruff, “who wants to tell him?” She asked.
“Don’t look at me, you're the one who loves to call her names!” Lorenzo exclaimed.
“Uh, you're the one who led us to bully her!” Nightlight exclaimed.
“Only because it was fun!”
It then clicked with Wiatt, he remembered Lewis telling him that Sara was bullied and that her bullies went missing one day.
Before he could answer, the group heard footsteps coming towards them.
“Wiatt!”
Wiatt’s eyes widened as he, Millie, and the defunct animatronics turned around to see Sara. 
She was breathing heavily due to the struggle she had with Litho. Due to it, her hair tie was loose with strands of hair sticking out. Sara saw Millie unharmed and smiled before walking over to her.
Cautious, Wiatt glared, put Millie down, and grabbed a crowbar on the side and pointed it at Sara’s neck. “Nice try, Litho! I know you're just pretending to be Sara just to get Millie.” He growled.
Millie’s eyes widened as she stepped closer towards Wiatt and Sara.
“Wiatt, it’s me!” Sara exclaimed, trying to prove it was her and not Litho.
“I’m not an idiot! I won’t fall for your tricks.” Wiatt replied, he held the crowbar tight ready to hit Sara. He then felt a tug on the hem of his pants, and looked down to see Millie biting it to stop him. “Huh, Millie?” The goat animatronic let go and went over to Sara.
Millie sniffed Sara and smiled before leaping into the founder’s arms, nuzzling her. Sara chuckled and held Millie tight. “I’m so glad you're okay.” Sara said.
Wiatt loosened his grip on the crowbar and dropped it realizing it was Sara. “I-It is you.” He said. 
Sara nodded in reply.
The mechanic then glanced at Millie, “you know when Sara is Sara, don't you?” He asked.
The goat animatronic nodded.
Wiatt sighed, glad he didn’t attack the wrong person. However, that was the least of his worries. “Sara,” Wiatt spoke, causing her and Millie to look up at him. “I have so many questions right now.”
Sara went quiet and looked over at the three defunct animatronics. Lorenzo glared at her, while Nightlight and Gruff stared at her with worry in their eyes.
“Uh…you can tell me later,” Sara said, grabbing Wiatt’s hand. “Come on, let's go.”
Wiatt swatted his hand away from Sara’s grasp, “no!” He shouted. “I’m sick and tired of you lying and brushing serious questions off! You’ve always done this even back in high school!”
Sara stepped back, and glared. “I’m not trying to brush it off!” She yelled back. “I told you, we can talk about it later!”
“No, tell me now! You want me to help you? Then you better be honest with me!” Wiatt exclaimed. He then glared, narrowing his eyes, “otherwise I’ll go to Lewis.”
Sara’s eyes widened, the anxious feeling in her stomach churned in her. She was cornered, she thought her past would never be brought up ever again. Sara felt something touch her arm and  looked down to see Millie putting her nose on her arm to relax her.
Sara took a deep breath and exhaled, “out of everyone I’d tell the truth about my past, it be you.”
Wiatt also took a deep breath and exhaled as well, calming down. “Sara, just tell me what’s going on.”
“If I do, just don’t tell anyone.” Sara begged. 
Wiatt glared and crossed his arms, “it depends on what it is.”
“I’ll explain every detail.”
Wiatt loosened his arms and nodded.
Sara then went to one of the crates and sat down, putting Millie on her lap. Wiatt sat down on the crate across from her, and the three other animatronics walked over, with Lorenzo sitting on another crate.
“So, start from the beginning.” Wiatt said.
Lorenzo was about to speak until Nightlight elbowed him to prevent Lorenzo from talking. He gave a sheepish smile, making Gruff and Nightlight roll their eyes.
“Well, Lewis told you how I was bullied before I met him, and Oliver right?” Sara asked.
Wiatt nodded, “Lewis told me all the time. He hoped that would be an excuse to trust you, but he was wrong.” He answered.
“I like him.” Lorenzo whispered.
“Shut up you idiot!” Nightlight whispered smacking the moth animatronic over the head. Lorenzo rubbed the back of his head glaring at his friend.
“You know we can hear you, right?” Sara asked.
“Sorry,” Nightlight replied. “Continue.”
Sara rolled her eyes, “anyways,” she continued as she pet Millie. “My bullies never went missing, I lied. They were dead.” Sara took a deep breath and let it out slowly in hopes to hold back her tears.
Millie frowned as she cuddled closer to Sara to comfort her. It made her feel better, but not by a lot.
The three defunct animatronics frowned, bowing their heads down in shame.
“I figured something happened to them.” Wiatt replied. “You get nervous when someone brings it up, or when other kids asked you if they were killed.”
“And they weren’t wrong.” Sara answered. “I did kill them.”
“W-What?!” Wiatt asked, looking horrified.
Sara knew Wiatt was going to react like that. “I-I killed them.” She repeated, in a shaky voice, “N-Now before you get upset, please let me explain.”
“You mean to tell me my boyfriend has been best friends with a murderer?” Wiatt yelled.
Tears started to come out of Sara’s eyes. 
“I knew you gave me a bad vibe, and now I know why. You're a killer Sara Coverman!” Wiatt yelled.
Sara gasped as the tears fell from her eyes. She wiped them away, but they continued to fall.
Millie growled at Wiatt and got up and tackled the mechanic to the floor. She continued to growl as her horns got sharper.
“Millie! Stop!” Gruff yelled.
The small goat animatronic stopped what she was doing. She turned to the bigger goat, who then glanced at Wiatt.
“Wiatt, before you continue to yell at her, please let Sara continue.”
Wiatt was confused, until he saw Sara crying. His eyes widened as he slowly got up. Wiatt never saw Sara cry before, and yet, he felt bad for making her cry. He looked over at Millie who frowned as her horns went back to normal, seeing the female founder cry.
The smaller goat got off of Wiatt and went over to Sara and comforted her by nuzzling on her leg. The female founder stopped crying as she looked down at Millie trying to cheer her up. Millie looked up and jumped into Sara’s arms giving her a kiss on the cheek. Sara sniffled and wiped the remaining tears from her face.
“Thanks Millie.” Sara whispered, pulling the smaller goat closer to her and hugged her tight.
Wiatt got up and brushed himself off as he sat back down on the crate. He gave her a moment to calm down before they continued their conversation.
Once she was calm, Sara continued her story, holding Millie. “Yes, I did kill them, but you weren’t there that day. They were pushing me, calling me names, and when one of them brought out matches and…” Sara sniffled, tears coming back from her eyes. “I got scared! I don’t know why, but I pushed one off the cliff!” Sara started sobbing.
Wiatt was shocked, while the three defunct animatronics felt guilty.
Sara wiped the tears from her eyes as she continued, “I-I ended up pushing the other two, but one tried to do the same to me, so I pushed them. The other kid begged for mercy, but,” Sara paused as her eyes turned dull, “I was bullied by these kids for two years. I didn’t want to take chances. I was so scared. I just wanted it to stop.”
Wiatt too understood Sara’s dealing with bullies. He didn’t kill his bullies like Sara did, but what Sara went through made her what she was in the present.
Sara sniffled as she wiped the remaining tears from her eyes, as they turned back to normal. “After that I lost trust in people, and I told the story that my bullies went missing for years, until they found their bodies.” She explained. “If it wasn’t for Celio, Lewis, Oliver…”
Sara paused when Millie put her hooves on her hands.
“And Millie.” Sara finished. “I’d be a different person, maybe worse than how you see me.”
Wiatt sighed knowing it was his turn to talk. “I get it now. Lewis told me I should give you a chance.” He replied. 
Sara nodded. “I became mean to you because I didn’t trust you. Sure, you're Lewis’s boyfriend, but what if you break up with him or hurt him?”
Wiatt sighed, “I would never hurt Lewis, but I understand where you're coming from.” Now he had another question. “However, I need to know who Litho is, who Millie and the defunct animatronics are, everything!”
“I’ll get there, don’t worry.” Sara replied.
“After we got to work on building Dreamworld, that’s when Litho and Winnie came to me. Litho knew about my past and if I didn’t do what he said, he’d tell Oliver and Lewis.” Sara explained.
“So you agreed to this because of it?” Wiatt asked.
Sara nodded. “I agreed to it because I got scared if Lewis, Oliver, or anyone found out, I knew I'd lose them.” She sighed. She petted Millie, who looked up at her in concern, “so one of my first experiments was to transfer souls into animatronics and to add salt in the wound…Litho gave me the souls of my three bullies, and well…” Sara then pointed at the defunct animatronics.
Wiatt turned to the defunct animatronics in shock. Lorenzo and Nightlight gave a sheepish smile and wave. Due to Gruff not having hands he can give a nod. Wiatt waved back, he stopped and turned to Sara in shock.
“Wait, you said three bullies, correct?” Wiatt asked.
“Yeah.” Sara replied.
“Then, whose soul is in Millie?”
Sara didn’t respond; she looked down at the small goat before looking Wiatt straight in the eyes.
Wiatt was confused until he looked at Millie and back at Sara. It finally hit him. “Part of your soul is in Millie?”
Sara nodded silently.
“B-But h-how?” Wiatt asked, stuttering a bit.
Sara brought Millie close to her. “To keep it short, I got overwhelmed with being part of Litho’s plot, building Dreamworld, and anxious of my secret coming out. I just…had enough.” She explained.
Wiatt frowned and got up to sit next to Sara, putting his arm around the female founder. 
“Eric found me and took me to the hospital. When I was released, that’s when I started experimenting with souls. It’s not like I had a choice.” Sara continued.
Wiatt removed his arm around Sara, as she continued her story.
“So, when I was experimenting with souls and the animatronics, that’s when Millie came to me,” Sara paused to look down at the goat with a small smile, “I thought I made a mistake, but after a while every time I touched Millie, I felt a connection. That’s when I realized a part of my soul went into Millie.”
Millie gave a smile as she nuzzled into her chest.
Wiatt smiled seeing the animatronic bond with Sara. “Is that when you discovered a small part of someone’s soul could go into an animatronic and bring it to life?” He asked.
Sara nodded. “Yep, I told Lewis about it, and after a while he wanted to test it out for himself.” She explained. Wiatt was about to speak, but Sara quickly cut him off. “Now, I didn’t force him. He wanted to do this on his own, and I was scared because what if it went wrong and I ended up killing him.”
Wiatt was shocked, he knew since he arrived Lewis had secrets about Starlight. All this time he thought Sara put him against his will, but he still wanted to hear Lewis’s side of the story. If they match then he would go easy on Sara.
“What about Oliver? Does he know?” Wiatt asked.
Sara shook her head. “I haven’t told him. I plan too, but I just couldn’t.”
Wiatt understood why. Oliver was sensitive and would freak out hearing all this. “So if part of Lewis’s soul is in Starlight, who are the other souls in the animatronics?” Wiatt asked.
“Other employees at Dreamworld. Except the triplets, LolliPop and Cheer. However, I didn’t experiment on them.” Sara explained. “Winnie did.”
“Winnie? Is he the Pegasus animatronic I saw in your office when I arrived?” Wiatt asked.
Sara and Millie turned to Wiatt, the female founder nodded. “Yeah, he…tried to kill them, but I was able to save them and use part of their souls. They don’t remember the incidents and I’m glad, but…” Sara paused.
“But what?”
“That’s when Litho possessed me. However, my soul didn’t just get trapped into an animatronic or wherever Litho sends souls. I was still in my body, watching everything Litho does.” Sara paused, to catch her breath and let Wiatt take everything in. “Litho was confused too, until he realized part of my soul was in Millie.”
“Is that why Litho wants Millie?” Wiatt asked.
Millie shivered burring her face into Sara’s chest. Sara nodded as she rubbed Millie’s back. “When Millie found out, she stayed hidden. Then the facility opened and I guessed she was overwhelmed by the amount of employees here.”
Millie looked up and nodded to confirm with the female founder.
“And that’s everything you need to know Wiatt.” Sara said, “I know it’s a lot, but at least now you know the truth.”
Wiatt was still wrapping his head around the whole story. Yes, it was a lot, but Sara covered everything he needed to know. Wiatt nodded as he got up, “what can I do to help?” He asked.
Sara’s eyes widened as she got up, “what do you mean?” She asked.
“After what you told me, I trust you just enough to help you.” Wiatt explained. 
Sara’s eyes widened in surprise. After years of Wiatt not trusting her, he’s asking to help her?
“I know we don’t get along, but you told me everything.” Wiatt then smiled, “and that’s good enough for me to help you.”
Sara smiled glad she had someone to help her. “Thank you, Wiatt.” She said.
“Anytime.” Wiatt said.
“Oh great.” Lorenzo spoke up, with a groan. “Sara got herself another looser on her friend squad. Yippie!” He spinned his fingers looking like he was celebrating.
“Lorenzo, quit it!” Nightlight shouted. “He’s trying to help her.”
“Yeah, we listened to the whole story.” Gruff added. “So be supportive for once.”
Sara and Wiatt chuckled at the three bickering. Wiatt stopped and looked at Millie before giving her pet. “You know you're not talkative Millie, but you are sweet.”
Millie smiled in reply.
“She is sweet.” Sara replied. “But your right, she doesn’t talk. Most animatronic talk once part of a soul is put in, but Millie never did.” Millie looked up at Sara, which made her smile. “It doesn’t matter. I like her no matter what.” Sara pulled Millie closer to her.
The goat animatronic smiled and snuggled her back. Sara giggled as Millie continued to nuzzle her. The female founder frowned as she put Millie down who looked at her with worry.
Wiatt looked down at the goat animatronic before looking up at Sara. “She doesn’t live with me.” Sara said. “Litho can possess me at anytime, and it’s risky keeping her with me.”
“I know Oliver doesn’t know anything about what you did to Lewis, but do they know about Millie or Litho possessing you?”
“No.” Sara answered. “If I told them, Litho can kill them.” Sara turned to Millie, “as for Millie…the moment Lewis finds out he’s going to wonder what I did to bring her to life.”
“Makes sense.”
Sara nodded. She then felt Millie nuzzle her leg, which made her smile and kneel down to her level. “Don’t worry Mils, I promise we’ll hang out again soon.”
Millie stopped nuzzling and nodded happily. She then nuzzled Wiatt’s leg too, making him chuckle as she went to the other three defunct animatronics.
“Keep taking care of her, okay.” Sara said.
“We will.” Gruff replied, giving a nod. The four defunct animatronics walked off, heading to a safe part of the facility. Millie turned and smiled at Sara before following her friends behind.

If Anyone is Curious...
Yes, I'll be adding Legends ZA references to Dreamers of Myths and Legends AU! It'll be a while, but every news we get of the game I'm quickly writing them down as we speak!
NOW
There are leaks of Legends ZA floating around the internet but I take those with a grain of salt. Though from what I've heard I have listed down some of them in my notes, but it won't be until they are confirmed that I will keep them.
You are free to ask about anything regarding my WTDW Pokemon AU because it will be in my head rent free while I wait on the game.

Turning Back the Page Chap. 1-Back to the Beginning
New AU Alert! Okay, so I never thought I’d make a Timeline Reset AU, but I had ideas for a while and months ago I started planning my own Timeline Reset AU, which I call Turning Back the Page AU (TBTP AU). You can thank peeps like Undynlicia and her AU Reliving the Past and Salty_R3mix’s To Learn From Tragedies for getting me into creating my own Timeline Rest AU. Please check those AUs out because they are SOO good!!
Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader!
Enjoy!
Everything happened in what felt like a second.
It started with Starlight, also known as Lewis Bright, Wiatt, and their friends fighting Litho in order to stop him from destroying the world. It was a warzone with Moris, Ridley, and Winnie deactivating. Hayden who spent part of the battle trying to kill Wiatt for what happened to Pen and Lisa, got killed by Litho for being in the way. Wiatt and Starlight tried to stop Litho for good only for the demon using his strings on the two and suddenly a flash of light happened.
Once the light faded, Lewis opened his eyes to see he was back to where it all started…
The day he died.
Lewis gasped as he just saw his best friend, and business partner, Sara Covetman, pull a knife from her pocket. “Didn’t you say, you wanted to be a star?” She asked, raising the knife.
Lewis gasped knowing what was about to happen. “Not like that, darling!” He yelled as he shoved Sara to the wall.
The girl hit the wall hard, but still had the knife in hand. Sara saw Lewis ready to run, but she grabbed him by the back collar, pulled it, and threw him on the ground. Sara raised the knife, ready to stab Lewis. He kicked her in the stomach dropping the knife.
Lewis tried to escape again, only for Sara to grab the knife and slash Lewis in the leg. He let out a painful yell, as he looked behind him to see blood oozing from his left leg.
Sara was about to stab his leg again, but Lewis kicked the knife out of her hand, and onto the floor right in the middle of them. The two looked at one another and began a race to grab the knife. 
Lewis struggled due to the pain, but was determined. Sara was inches away from grabbing the knife until Lewis snatched it.
Sara then tried to reclaim the weapon from her friend, and as they pulled the knife back and forth, Lewis accidently sliced Sara in the arm. Shocked, Lewis dropped the knife. Sara held her arm as blood started to trickle down like a tea pour. She looked up at her friend and growled. She tackled him to the ground, grabbed the knife  and was ready to stab him once more.
Lewis’s eyes widened, it was like last time. Sara pinned him in this position and constantly stabbed him until his eyes closed and he woke up in the Starlight animatronic. 
That’s when everything went wrong.
No. Not this time, Lewis thought.
Lewis glared and kicked Sara in the leg. She yelped as Lewis got off of her. The two friends glared at each other as their fight got even more heated. The two punched, kicked, and if they got hold of the knife, slashed each other. They fought like this for a few minutes, and were tired, bruised, and cut up. They were breathing heavily, waiting for the other to make the next move.
“Why, won’t you let me help you, Lewis!” Sara yelled. “I’m doing this for the facility!”
“Help me?” Lewis asked. He let out a laugh. “How is killing me helping me?”
Sara growled. She ran ready to stab Lewis again, but this time he was ready. 
Before she could stab him, Lewis grabbed her arm. “Why are you doing this, Sara?” Lewis yelled, pushing his best friend into the wall, the knife slipping from her hands. Sara groaned, holding her shoulder as she glared at her best friend. “I thought we were best friends! I trusted you, darling!”
Sara saw the knife on the ground and went to pick it up and attack Lewis again. The later grabbed her wrist and squeezed it tight, causing Sara to drop the knife once again. “Gah!” Sara screamed. She slowly looked up to see Lewis glaring at her.
“I’m going to ask one last time,” Lewis started as he squeezed Sara’s wrist tighter. “Why are you doing this?”
“Y-You wouldn’t understand.” Sara replied, weakly.
“How do you know that?” Lewis asked, squeezing Sara’s wrist tighter causing her to whimper. “You told me everything while we were growing up!” Now, Lewis slightly twisted Sara’s wrist causing her to cry in pain.
“L-Let go Lewis! Please, it hurts.” She cried.
“No! Not until you tell me everything!”
Sara breathed heavily as she struggled to remove Lewis’s hand, but he held it tight and wasn’t going to let go. She looked for her knife, only to see it inches away from her. She went to reach it, only for Lewis to take notice and kick the knife far away from the woman. 
Sara felt her hand ready to snap off at any moment after feeling a harsh crack in her wrist. Tears started to appear from her eyes as the pain got the better of her.
“Okay! Okay! I’ll talk, please let go, Lewis! Please!” Sara cried.
Lewis glared. He stopped twisting it, but held it tight. “Alright. Talk.” He said. “Why do you want to discover immortality?”
“I-I made a deal.” Sara answered. “With a demon.”
Lewis nodded. He remembered that from the previous timeline, but he rather hear it from Sara herself.
Sara was about to continue, but she paused and stared at Lewis. He was confused until he heard her let out a sob.
“O-Oh my god…” Sara cried. “Y-You're still alive.”
Lewis’s eyes widened, realizing Sara remembered everything from the previous timeline. “You remember everything now, do you?” He asked.
Sara nodded as she sobbed again. The sobs turned into cries as she used her free arm to hug Lewis. He was surprised too, and soon felt his shoulder start to turn wet due to Sara crying. “I’m so sorry Lewis.” She cried. “I’m sorry.”
Lewis, seeing his friend was no longer a threat, let her arm go and hugged her back. Sara used her other arm to pull Lewis closer as she continued to cry.
“Let it out, darling. Let it out.” Lewis whispered, rubbing her back for comfort. He waited until she was done crying to talk more about her deal with Litho.
It took many minutes, but Sara finally calmed down. She wiped the tears from her eyes and let go of Lewis.
“I’m sorry, Lewis. I’m really, really sorry.” Sara said.
Lewis blinked as he led Sara to a nearby table as the two sat up on top of it. “Darling, why did you do what you did?” He asked.
“I-I…” Sara paused to take a deep breath. “When I was experimenting with souls, Winnie told me I needed a new soul in order for this to work.” She explained.
“So you used me as your experiment, huh?” Lewis asked.
Sara nodded. “I debated on it. You’ve been my best friend for years, and I was hoping to find someone that wasn’t you, but Litho and Winnie were pushing me.” She explained. “I-I guess I snapped when you and Oliver were pressuring me with what I was doing. It’s not an excuse for what I did, but…”
“I get what you're saying.” Lewis interrupted. “But what about Eric, and the others?”
“That wasn’t me! I only killed you.” Sara answered. “A-And a few others, but I’m not ready to share that yet.”
Lewis sighed, knowing this wasn’t Sara’s first rodeo with murder. “I’m guessing Winnie and Litho were the cause of everyone’s deaths?”
Sara nodded. “I found out Winnie killed people behind my back, and gave me credit for it. I tried to back out and fix everything, but then Litho possessed me.” She explained.
“What about Oliver’s TV head?” Lewis asked.
Sara sighed, “I won’t lie. I did set it up, but I chickened out and decided to keep Oliver alive.” She explained.
“I guess Litho finished what you started once he took over your body.” Lewis guessed.
Sara nodded. The two stood in silence taking all things in. “Feel free to hate or leave me.” She said, turning away from her friends.
“I… I don’t hate you Sara.” Lewis spoke.
Sara turned to him, surprised. 
“But I don’t forgive you either.” He continued.
Sara frowned, knowing she couldn’t have her hopes up.
“What you did, darling, was betrayal, but knowing you worked with Litho, you know more than what Wiatt and I found out about him.” Lewis said.
“I do. Even knowing how his portal works and how to shut it down.” Sara replied.
Lewis smiled. “Then help us.” He said. 
“What?” Sara asked, confused.
“Once we get the others together, you can help us with all the knowledge you have.” Lewis explained. “If you can show me that you’ve changed and want to help us, then maybe I’ll forgive you.”
Sara gave a small smile. It was good enough for her. “Alright.” Sara replied.
Lewis smiled back, but it was interrupted when the door swung open.
“Get away from him.”
Sara and Lewis turned to see Oliver coming in holding a knife, glaring at Sara. The two knew Oliver got his memories of the previous timeline and was ready to kill Sara.
“D-Darling.” Lewis said, standing up and slowly walking to his best friend. “Put the knife down, Sara is on our side.”
Oliver chuckled, “bullshit!” He snapped, pointing the knife at Lewis. The latter looked horrified seeing his friend was ready to kill him. “She’s just using you until she kills you.”
“Oliver.” Sara spoke up, walking towards her friend. “I know your angry and hate me for what I did to you and your siblings, but I promise you I wasn’t the one who killed you or them.”
Oliver glared, raised the knife, and scratched Sara’s hand. She let out a scream, holding her hand as blood trickled down. Oliver was ready to hurt her again, until Lewis held his friend back from getting revenge on Sara.
“Darling, stop!” Lewis yelled.
“Lewis, let go!” Oliver growled.
“No! I’m not letting you hurt her!”
Oliver glared. Even though he didn’t want to hurt Lewis, he had to know him into his senses. “You’re making a big mistake letting her live.” Oliver raised the knife with enough strength he had to stab Lewis.
“And your making a mistake trying to kill him!” Sara yelled.
Oliver looked up at Sara, who looked at him with sadness. Oliver lowered his knife as he stared at the woman who ruined his life in the previous timeline. Lewis let go of Oliver as he turned to Sara.
Sara took a deep breath as she looked her friend in the eye. “I’m so sorry for everything.” She started. “I’m sorry for hurting you, and your younger siblings. Even though I wasn’t the one who killed you three, I was the one who made that stupid deal in the first place.”
Oliver’s expression changed after hearing Sara’s apology.
“I’m sorry for bossing you around, and I’m sorry for pushing you and Lewis away.” Sara’s eyes teared up, as she let out a sniffle. “But I’m on your side now, and I’m the only one with information on Litho and everything he does.” Sara wiped her tears away. “I don’t care if you hate me, but you're free to hate me or leave me once we stop him!” Sara then broke down into sobs.
Oliver looked at his knife and back at Sara. He then tossed the knife, causing Sara to look up. “Alright, I’m giving you a chance.”
Sara felt relieved Oliver gave her a chance.
“But, if you hurt me or my siblings. I won’t be forgiving.” Oliver threatened.
Sara nodded. “I understand.”
At that point Oliver calmed down and saw his friends injuries that were from the fight prior to him coming into the room. “I’ll get the first aid kit.” He said. Oliver picked up his knife, and walked out of the room.
Sara and Lewis sat down on the table again waiting on Oliver and the first aid kit. Once the taller founder came back, he opened the kit and started treating his friends' wounds.

Nothing Bad Happens- Winter At Dreamworld
Hello guys!! Here is my cute little winter fanfic for my WTDW NBH AU! I wanted to write a Christmas fanfic after my Halloween one, but November and December were a BUSY time with work, and I went on vacation with my mom (I did write a bit of this fanfic while on vacation). So instead of a Christmas fanfic I decided to write a little Winter fanfic since I didn’t get this out around Christmas.
There is a chance I might write winter style fanfics for NBH AU.
Big thanks to my beta reader @gigilefache
Enjoy!
It was late at night, and the Dreamworld animatronics were asleep, resting before another long day at the facility.
At the entrance to Staract, four figures slowly opened the door. They quietly made their way to where Starlight slept.
The star animatronic had been levitating as he snored. “Psst…Starlight.” A voice said, alerting him. Starlight groaned, and continued to sleep.
“Starlight. Please wake up.” Another voice said.
“Lewis, I need more beauty sleep. You should know that by now.” Starlight replied in his sleep.
Suddenly the tall figure let out a loud gasp as he turned the light on. “STARLIGHT WAKE UP YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” 
Starlight screamed in his sleep, trying to get a hold of himself before his support beam snapped off. He looked up to see Ribbondancer and the triplet animatronics; Mimic, Melody and Masquerade at his door with a big smile on their faces.
“Darlings!” Starlight shouted. “It’s early in the morning! What do you four want?!”
“You have to look outside and see this!” Mimic exclaimed.
“There’s stars falling from the sky!” Masquerade added.
“Stars?” Starlight questioned. He got his support beam moving as his friends led him to the nearest window and showed him what they were talking about.
Starlight gasped as he saw white snowflakes fall from the sky and land on the ground. “Well I’ll be…” He whispered. “Stars are falling from the sky.”
“It’s so…magical!” Melody whispered, putting his pinching claws together.
“I can’t wait for Mr. Wiatt, Mr. Lewis, and the other workers to see this!” Mimic exclaimed.
“What’s going on?” A voice groaned. Everyone turned to see Rex, rubbing his eyes as he was woken up by the triplets. “What are you guys doing up?”
“Rex, you've got to take a look at this.” Starlight said, pointing at the window.
The dragon animatronic walked towards the window in awe seeing the “stars” fall. “What is that?” He asked.
“It’s stars. Falling stars.” Mimic replied.
Rex chuckled as he joined his friends in watching the snowfall.
A moment later, LoliPop and Cheer woke up and turned to the group and went over to them. “What’s going on?” Lolli asked, groggy.
“Falling stars.” Melody replied.
LolliPop turned to the window and their eyes widened. “Wow, it looks like sugar falling from the sky!” Lolli exclaimed.
“They do!” Pop exclaimed. 
“To me it looks like pixie dust.” Cheer said. “We should go outside and see it!”
“Tomorrow darlings.” Starlight said. “When the Founders wake up and open the place.”
The animatronics looked at each other and nodded in agreement, continuing to watch the snow together.
“Lewis. Lewis. Wake up.” Sara said as she tried to wake up her best friend.
Lewis groaned and turned away, “no Wiatt, I don’t want to ride a comet with you.” He replied in his sleep.
Sara groaned and looked over at the next bed, where Oliver was sleeping. She then walked over to him and tried to wake him up.
“Oliver.” Sara started, tapping her friend’s shoulder. Oliver groaned and put the blanket over him. Sara rolled her eyes and shook her best friend, “Oliver. Wake up.”
“Sara, go back to sleep. It’s early.” Oliver groaned, peeking from the blanket.
Sara looked at the clock and saw it was 6:15 am. To her, that wasn’t early for what she wanted to show her friends. “Could you at least get up and see this!” She exclaimed.
Oliver didn’t reply and just pulled the blanket closer, trying to get back to sleep.
Sara groaned, and decided it was time for desperate measures. She went between the two beds and pulled Lewis out first, then Oliver. Surprisingly, the two boys were still sleepy and didn’t notice what Sara was doing with them. The female founder then dragged the two to the window and then lifted them up.
Oliver slowly opened his eyes and he quickly woke up seeing the snow outside. He tapped Lewis on the shoulder, but due to not having his glasses on he just saw a white blur like he was staring at paper.
“Huh?” Lewis questioned.
“Oh!” Sara exclaimed as she grabbed Lewis’s glasses from the top of the drawer and handed them to her best friend. “Here you go.”
Lewis put on his glasses and a smile appeared on his face. “So that’s what you wanted to tell us darling!” He exclaimed.
Sara chuckled, “yep! First snow day of the year!” She beamed.
“Which means we won’t be busy at Dreamworld.” Oliver added.
“Good news, we can show the animatronics what snow is!” Lewis replied, telling his best friend the positive aspect of a snow day.
Oliver nodded until something came to mind. “Wait, can the animatronics handle snow?” He asked.
“We did make them waterproof, but we’ll see!” Lewis answered. He left the window and got dressed into his winter clothes.
Lewis wore a teal jacket over his regular work clothes, a blue beanie with stars on them, blue and yellow striped gloves, and a yellow scarf with stars all over them. Oliver wore a dark purple jacket over his work clothes, purple gloves and a green beanie over his head. Sara wore a hot pink jacket over her work clothes, pink earmuffs, a yellow scarf and pink gloves.
“You guys ready?” Sara asked.
“Yep!” Lewis and Oliver exclaimed at the same time. The three left their apartment and went over to Lewis’s car as he drove his friends and himself to the Dreamworld Facility. As they drove, the trio watched the snow fall as their excitement rose with how fun it would be to show the animatronics snow.
The trio made it to the facility and Lewis parked the car before he and his friends got out. As they were getting out of the car, a yell was heard.
“Sara, heads up!”
Sara looked up to see a snowball hurtling towards her, she let out a yell and ducked as the snowball hit Lewis in the face. Sara slowly looked up and saw it was Wiatt who threw the snowball, but the expression on his face was a horrified one.
For his winter wear, Wiatt wore a dark blue jacket over his uniform, his mechanic hat, dark blue gloves, and a blue and purple scarf.
“Oh shit.” Wiatt mumbled. He started to walk over to his boyfriend and brushed the snow off his face. “I’m so sorry Lewis. That was for Sara, not for you.”
Lewis glared, which made Wiatt give a sheepish smile and a chuckle. Another snowball hit the mechanic in the back of the head. Wiatt turned around and saw Sara, with her hands behind her back giving an innocent smile. He glared and was ready to throw another snowball at her, but saw the animatronics staring at them from the window.
“How long have they been staring?” Lewis asked.
“Don’t know.” Wiatt replied.
Lewis unlocked the door as he, and the other three went in. Once inside the animatronics turned to them and went over to the four talking over each other about what they witnessed. 
“Woah. Woah. Woah.” Lewis started. “Slow down, darlings. What’s going on?”
“We just saw falling stars, darling!” Starlight exclaimed.
“Yeah!” Ribbondancer added. “We’ve been up ALL night as we watched the falling stars!”
“Falling stars?” Wiatt asked. He looked outside and he realized what the animatronics meant. “Oh, you're talking about the snow.”
The animatronics blinked in confusion. They looked at one another before looking back at Wiatt. “Snow?” They asked at the same time.
Wiatt nodded in reply.
Lewis, who was taking off his jacket and gloves, went on to explain what snow is. “It’s frozen rain darlings. In the winter when it’s cold enough the rain freezes and you get snow.”
“The best part of snow, is you can play in it!” Sara added, as she removed her earmuffs and jacket.
“You can!” Ribbondancer and Melody exclaimed.
Sara nodded in reply as she took off her gloves.
Ribbondancer and Melody looked at each other with a big smile on their face and ran outside to check out the snow. However, the two froze in their tracks as they realized how cold it was outside. The two animatronic shivered as they walked back in, partially covered in snow.
“T-That’s c-cold.” Melody shivered.
“V-Very cold. Colder than an ice cream sundae.” Ribbondancer replied, shivering.
Wiatt chuckled, and leaned over to his boyfriend. “I guess animatronics can’t handle the cold.”
“No they can’t darling.” Lewis replied, chuckling as well.
The door opened again, revealing to be Eric, who was bundled up in a dark green jacket, beanie, and gloves as well as a green and black stripped scarf. “Morning guys.” Eric said, shivering.
“Morning Eric.” Oliver replied.
Eric removed his scarf and went over to the lemur animatronic and put it on him. “Ribbondancer, what are you thinking?” He asked.
“Uh…snow at the moment.” Ribbondancer replied.
“Okay, but you went out without any protection! No jacket, no boots, scarf, anything! Being out in the snow without those is dangerous!” Eric exclaimed.
“Dad. Relax.” Carly said, as she waddled in.
The 13-year old girl wore a pink jacket, a pink and yellow striped scarf wrapped around her neck covering her mouth, pink gloves, and a pink hat. However, from the looks of it Eric bundled his daughter up nice and good for the winter.
“It's Ribbons' first time experiencing snow.” Carly said. She removed the scarf, as she continued to explain. “He doesn’t know the dangers of hypothermia, plus I think animatronics don’t have to worry about that.” Ribbondancer tilted his head in confusion.
Eric sighed, “Still, Ribbondancer should wear something warm if he’s going outside.” He reminded his daughter.
“True, but he should be fine. All that energy he has should warm him up.” Carly replied.
Eric smiled, as he removed his jacket and hat. He put the hat on top of Ribbondancer’s head. The lemur animatronic stuck his tongue out almost like a blep. “By the way.” Ribbondancer began, “where are the triplets and Oliver’s siblings?”
“They stayed at home to play in the snow.” Carly replied. “Dad will pick them up and bring them to the facility later.”
“Oh. I hope they're having fun!” The lemur animatronic exclaimed.
“I just hope Ben is wearing his jacket.” Oliver hoped. “Last snow day, he didn’t and was sick for an entire week.”
“He is wearing one. Don’t worry.” Carly reassured the taller founder, patting him in the back.
Lewis did some thinking and got an idea. “You know, it won’t be busy today. Why don’t we let the animatronics experience snow while they can?” He suggested.
The animatronics turned to the founder. “D-Darling, are you sure?” Starlight asked.
“Yeah Lewis, are you sure?” Eric echoed.
Lewis nodded, “yeah, I got some winter clothes in the Staract that could fit the animatronics!”
“Wait!” Mimic started.
“You mean…” Melody added.
“We can play in the snow!” Masquerade finished.
The founders nodded in reply. The triplet animatronics smiled and started to roll around the facility as they tackled and hugged each of the founders. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” They repeated in unison, as they hugged the founders so tight they couldn’t breathe.
“No…problem.” The founders choked out.
“Alright you three, let them go.” Rex said, clapping his claws. “You don’t want them to suffocate and they won’t be able to take you out for your first snow day.”
“Oops.” Melody said as he let go of Sara. “Sorry, Miss. Sara.”
Sara took a deep breath as she was able to breathe again. “You're good Mel. You're good.”
The other two let go of the other two founders as they tried to catch their breaths. Once they were able to breathe, Lewis spoke up. “Alright, I’ll grab the winter wear, Wiatt,  get Starlight set up in his walking mode, and we’ll get this bloody fun snow day started!” He exclaimed.
“Yeah!” The animations cheered.
“We get to cause war and bloodshed in the snow!” Melody yelled, giving a maniac laughter. Everyone turned to him in horror. Melody stopped laughing seeing everyone stare at him. “W-What?”
“Darling, when I say bloody it’s just an expression.” Lewis explained.
“O-Oh. I didn’t know that.” Melody replied, feeling embarrassed.
“It’s alright, darling.” Lewis patted the purple changing animatronic on the head, which made him feel better. “Now, let’s get you guys ready.” Lewis then went upstairs to Staract and went to the dressing room to grab a box filled with winter wear. He went back down to the lobby and he and his friends put the winter clothes on the animatronics.
Eric helped bundle the triplet animations and Ribbondancer so that they’d be nice and warm. Carly helped Cheer and LoliPop put on their scarves and jacket, keeping it light unlike what her dad was doing.
“Ladybug, should LoliPop and Cheer put on a hat and mittens?” Eric asked, pulling out two purple mittens and a beanie with flowers on them.
“Dad, relax. They’ll be fine.” Carly reminded her dad.
“Yeah, I don’t need any extra layers.” Cheer replied. “Plus, how can I wear a hat?”
Eric looked at the hat and back at Cheer, and realized she had petals that prevent any kind of headwear except her goggles. “Hang on! I got an idea!” He exclaimed as he left to go find more hats to cover Cheer’s petals.
“Quick, run.” Carly whispered.
“On it!” Cheer replied as she dashed off to the door, where Wiatt and Starlight were.
Starlight wore a yellow jacket, a teal scarf, and two different mittens. An orange one over his blue hand, and a teal one over his yellow one.
“Are you ready, Starlight?” Wiatt asked.
Starlight nodded, “I’m ready.”
“Same here!” Cheer interrupted.
Wiatt chuckled and opened the door. He and the two animatronics closed their eyes as the cold air blew inside. They slowly opened their lids, seeing snow coming down at a faster rate. 
“Perfect timing, snow is coming down good!” Wiatt commented.
Starlight was the first one to step outside, and flinched at the snow touching his feet. He lifted his right leg up and shivered. “That’s cold.”
Wiatt giggled, “it is cold.” He replied. “But your animatronic feet should get used to it.”
Starlight looked down at the snow again and slowly put his feet on it. He was surprised that it didn’t feel as cold anymore. He took a few more steps and was able to enjoy the snow up close. “Wow.” He whispered. “It feels magical.”
“That’s how snow is, darling.” Lewis said. He took his boyfriend’s hand, causing Wiatt to blush. Lewis gave a flirtatious smirk, “now let’s make it more magical, Wiatt, my love.” He then dragged Wiatt and started to dance with him.
“L-Lewis!” Wiatt yelled, as his boyfriend spined him around, before dipping him. Wiatt pouted, but Lewis landed a kiss on his nose. Wiatt gasped as his face turned a bright red and he gave a small glare as he smashed his lips onto Lewis’s, causing the two to fall to the ground. The two laughed seeing how cute and ridiculous they were acting. They looked into each other’s eyes and smiled before kissing each other again.
Starlight smiled seeing how romantic his soul brother and his brother's partner were being. Everyime he felt Lewis being happy, he too felt happy.
“Enjoying it?” Sara asked, snapping the star animatronic out of his thoughts.
“Y-Yeah.” Starlight replied. He was then interrupted by the other animatronics running outside to check out the snow up close. The animatronics laughed as they looked at the snow up close, feeling the same way Starlight felt.
“So, what fun things can we do in the snow?” Pop asked.
“A lot of things.” Sara answered.
“Like what?” Lolli asked.
Sara thought about what would be fun for the animatronics on their first snow day, and smirked when she had an idea. She scooped up some snow into her hands and formed it into a ball and threw it at Wiatt’s face.
“Ah!” Wiatt shouted, as the snowball hit him. He and Lewis looked up and saw Sara chuckle.
“That’s for this morning, Nicholson!” Sara yelled, before continuing to laugh. She was then cut off by a snowball, hitting her in the face.
“And that’s what you deserve, Covetman!” Wiatt yelled back, as he laughed. A snowball hit him in the back of the head. Wiatt turned around to see it was Lewis who threw the snowball at him. “L-Lewis, how could you?!”
“Sorry, darling, but that was for throwing it at me.” Lewis replied.
Wiatt pouted, “but it was an accident!” Another snowball then hit Wiatt in the back of the head, and he turned to see it was Oliver who threw it.
“Nice shot, Oliver!” Sara beamed.
Oliver rolled his shoulders, smiling proudly, “it’s all in the wrist,” he replied. Suddenly a snowball hit him in the back of the head, knocking him into the snow face down.
“Oliver!” Sara exclaimed. “Are you-” she was cut off as a snowball hit her in the back of the head as well. Sara looked up and saw Starlight in a throwing position, looking nervous.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I saw Lewis do it.” Starlight said, pointing at Lewis. This caused the founder to glare at his soul brother, and throw a snowball at Starlight. “Hey! What was that for?”
“It’s a snowball fight, darling.” Lewis replied. “It’s harmless fun.” He then got hit by two snowballs by Sara and Oliver. With a glare, Lewis made another snowball and threw it at Sara. The Founder Trio threw snowballs back and forth at each other.
Wiatt ended up hit by one of the stray snowballs and threw one back at Oliver, causing him to join the snowball fight as well.
Starlight was hit by the trio’s snowballs, which caused his eyes to glow red and purple. He growled, created a snowball and threw it at Lewis, however his throw was so hard it knocked the young man back.
“Oh snap!” Starlight exclaimed, covering his mouth. He was shocked he had a good aim, and was worried he harmed him. “Lewis, are you alright?”
Lewis stuck out his left arm and gave the animatronic and thumbs up, showing him that he was indeed alright.
Starlight sighed in relief. Suddenly he felt a bunch of snowballs hit him in the back. He turned to see Ribbondancer with a handful of snowballs, and the triplet animatronics making more.
“Best part of having four arms. I can beat all of you in a snowball fight!” Ribbondancer beamed as the triplets handed him two more snowballs in his second pair of arms. The lemur animatronic started to launch snowballs at a rapid pace, as he laughed.
Everyone was pelted with snowballs as they all ran for cover by using the trees as a shield.
“Who was the designer who gave Ribbons, four arms?” Carly asked.
Sara and Oliver turned to Lewis with glares. “Oh, and it was Sara who agreed on the design, so she takes half the blame!” Lewis yelled. He was then hit with another snowball over the head. “Wow, you animatronics have good arms.”
Starlight rubbed the back of his head, giving a nervous chuckle. “Apologizes, darling.”
“We need to fight back!” Carly exclaimed, as she created a snowball, and threw it at Ribbondancer, who caught it with his other hand and threw it back at Carly, hitting the girl. She glared and growled before making a bigger snowball and throwing it at Ribbondancer.
The lemur’s eyes widened as the snowball knocked him to the ground, causing his head to fall off.
“Oh shit.” Carly whispered, covering her mouth.
It was silent for a bit as everyone looked at Ribbondancer. “I’m okay!” Ribbondancer yelled. “You really got your head in the game, Carly!”
Carly sighed in relief and ran over to Ribbondacner’s head, picking it up and handing it to his body. His body then put the head back on, spinning it before it locked in place.
“Ah…” Ribbondancer sighed. “Much better.”
“Okay, let’s pause on the snowball fight before one of you robots loses a body part we cant replace or put back.” Carly said.
“I agree,” Rex said, stepping in. “This is getting way too dangerous.”
“Awww.” The triplet animatronics sighed, dropping their snowballs. 
“But, what should we play now?” Melody asked.
Everyone started to think of what would be a fun snowtime activity. Oliver snapped his fingers as an idea came to mind. “I know of a fun activity!” He exclaimed. The taller founder got up and ran to gather some snow, forming it into a ball and putting it back on the ground gently, and started to roll it until it became a bigger ball. “My siblings and I used to do this all the time.”
“What are you making?” Lolli asked.
“A snowman.” Oliver answered.
Ribbondancer’s eyes widened, interested in what a snowman is. “Oooh! Is it going to come to life?” He asked.
“Uhh…” Oliver trailed off. “I mean there’s a song about a snowman coming to life.”
“How did they come to life? By souls?”
“W-What?” The taller founder asked, confused at what the animatronic was talking about.
Sara then went over, gave a nervous chuckle, and covered Ribbondancer’s mouth. “Oh Ribbondancer, you're such a joker.” She laughed.
“I am?” Ribbondancer asked, confused. “But I wasn’t joking.”
Sara laughed nervously again as she pulled Ribbondancer by his tail and dragged him away. Oliver looked at Lewis and Wiatt confused, but the two just shrugged. 
Once Sara and Ribbondancer were away from the group, the female founder glared at the lemur animatronic. “Listen, Oliver doesn’t know about the whole thing! Please don’t mention it or even hint at it.” Sara advised.
“But he’s your best friend, shouldn’t best friends tell each other everything?” Ribbondancer asked.
Sara sighed, “it’s hard to tell Oliver.” She said, looking back at her best friend. Ribbondancer then turned to the taller founder as well.
Oliver was helping LolliPop and Cheer make the two other parts of the snowman, and giving them a thumbs up that they made the head and 2nd body a perfect size.
“Don’t want to shock him, huh?”
Sara gave a chuckle, “pretty much.”
“Well…” Ribbondancer trailed off as he tried to think. “Alright, I’ll keep it hush, hush.”
Sara sighed, “thanks.”
“No problemo, Sara!”
The female founder chuckled and the two went back to the others, who were now wondering what they should make the snowman. “Ribbondancer, you're the artistic one.” Pop spoke up.
“Do you have ideas on what we should make our snow person?” Lolli asked.
Ribbondancer looked at the snowman and started to think. “Aha!” He exclaimed. Ribbondancer then ran back inside the facility, before rushing back out with all of the arts and craft supplies. He looked at the snowman again, and then looked at his crafting supplies before using them to help create the snowman. Once Ribbondancer was done, he revealed the snowman to be a snow version of himself.
The snow Ribbondancer, had a hat similar to his made out of felt, green blush cheeks, green pipe cleaner arms, and a tail made out of a construction paper chain.
“I made a Snowdancer!” Ribbondancer beamed. “Get it, because it’s a snowman Ribbondancer!”
Starlight chuckled, “I get it darling.” He said.
“It’s very cute.” Carly said.
“Want me to make more?” Ribbondancer asked.
Starlight nodded, “do me next, darling.”
“On it!”
Ribbondancer gathered more snow and started to build a Starlight snowman, or a “Snowlight” as he called it.
“Hey guys!” Eric called out. “When your done, I made hot chocolate for all of you!”
“Hot chocolate?” The triplets exclaimed, wondering what it was.
“It’s chocolate milk, but warm and sweet.” Lewis answered.
“With marshmallows.” Sara added.
The triplets and LolliPop smiled and rushed back inside to try this hot chocolate. The founders chuckled, and decided to go inside too. Lewis stopped and turned to Wiatt, Starlight, and the other animatronics who were helping with building a Snowlight.
“Are you darlings, going to come in?” Lewis asked.
“In a bit.” Wiatt replied. “I’m going to help the animatronics with the snowman building, and then we’ll come in.”
“Alright.” Lewis then went back in as Wiatt and the others continued building the Snowlight.
Once it was finished, the Snowlight was revealed to be like a regular snowman, except the head looked like a star. Ribbondancer painted yellow and blue blush cheeks, blue and yellow pompoms on the star points, a blue scarf, and yellow and blue pipe cleaner arms.
“Aww they look cute!” Ribbondancer beamed.
“They do indeed, darling!” Starlight exclaimed. “It looks like me!”
Wiatt chuckled, “it sure does.” He said.
A blow of cold air rushed through the mechanics of the animatronics, causing them to shiver. “Burrr…we should get in before we catch a cold.” Rex said.
“Y-Yeah.” Wiatt shivered. “We can play in the snow later.” The group then started to walk back and join the others inside for hot chocolate.
“Wiatt.” Starlight said.
“Yes, Star?” Wiatt asked.
“Thank you for giving us a fun snow day.” 
Wiatt smiled, “no problem.”

Starlight's Coffee Chapter 1- Happy Hollow Street
Hi guys! Got a new AU for you all and it’s a Coffee Shop AU!
Welcome to Dreamworld felt fitting for a Coffee Shop AU, and after being inspired by another well known coffee shop AU, I just had to create my own. Now, unlike my other AUs this won’t be a multi chapter fanfic, and rather just a series of mini stories centered around the AU. Some will be multi chaptered, but they’d be at least 10 or less chapters. 
I’m working on more AUs for this web series, and because a ton of them are multi chapters/novel length, I wanted at least an AU where it’s just one long drabble, or small multi chapters, where I can work on them from time to time while focusing on my other fanfics.
Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader!
Enjoy!
Happy Hollow Street is one of the most popular areas in town with many stores, great places to eat, and a popular arcade. Right across from the said arcade stands a brand new coffee shop called Starlight’s Coffee & Cafe, which about this time was set to open. Inside, were three people; Sara Covetman, Oliver Acrimony and Lewis Bright, the owners of the new coffee shop. The three looked to be in their late teens or early 20’s. They set up the inside of the shop with cute and cozy decor.
“Alright, just two weeks left until opening day, and we’re almost done setting up!” Sara beamed.
“I can’t believe the money we saved up back in high school helped us open our very own coffee shop!” Lewis added, as he put up the menu.
“It took us a few years, but we finally got a building to open it.” Oliver said, as he put up paintings and posters on the wall.
For years it was Sara’s dream to open her own business, and it was finally coming true. She saved up money from chores, part time jobs, even competitions with her best friends to bring her coffee shop to life. She couldn’t wait for everyone to come to their lovely coffee shop to relax and hang out.
“Okay, we got everything inside set up and ready to go.” Lewis proclaimed. “Now what’s next on our list?”
Sara pulled out her phone, opened her Notes app and went to her checklist. She saw they were almost done, two more things; Poster advertisements and Storage stocking. “We just need to put up advertisements and get ingredients, then we’re done!” Sara explained. “Maybe, we can open up early at this point.”
Lewis and Oliver smiled, excited they were almost there. “Darling, I can do the posters.” Lewis offered.
“Sure.” Sara replied. She then walked over to the counter and pulled out two huge stacks of paper that made Lewis’s glasses slide off his nose.
“Darling, this is a lot of posters.” Lewis commented.
“Well, I made enough to cover all of Happy Hollow Street.”
Lewis sighed. He grabbed the first stack of paper, then he opened the drawer and took out a roll of tape. “I’ll come back for the rest,” he said. Sara and Oliver nodded in reply. Lewis then left the shop, walked over to the nearby light pole, and taped the first poster. He went around taping posters to other light poles, walls, and even giving it to other business around Happy Hollow Street.
Lewis was about to head back to the shop, when he saw someone running and knocking into him. The pappers fell from Lewis’s arms and onto the ground.
“Oh no.” Lewis groaned. He kneeled to the ground to pick up the papers.
“Do you need help?”
Lewis looked up and he started blushing upon seeing the other boy in front of him. The boy looked shorter then him, with messy brown hair, and round shaped glasses. He wore a blue vest with stars over a lilac shirt with folded sleeves, dark blue pants, and brown shoes.
“Uh…” Lewis trailed off not knowing what to say to the gentleman.
The smaller boy waited for his response, but from the looks of the stacks of paper, concluded Lewis needed help. “Here. I’ll help you.” The boy said, kneeling down and starting to pick up the papers.
Lewis snapped out of it and went to pick up the papers too, only to touch the boy’s hand. The two looked up and the two boys started to blush. They quickly moved their hands away and looked down nervously.
 The boy read the advertisement, seeing it was for the coffee shop opening across the street from his family’s arcade.
“Oh, so your one of the workers of the coffee shop opening soon.” The smaller boy said, standing up.
“I’m one of the owners, darling.” Lewis replied, standing up as well.
The boy was impressed. “Really? You look too young to be running a business.”
“I’m only 20-years old.”
“Same here!” The smaller boy exclaimed. He then held his hand out, “nice to meet ya, I’m Wiatt Nicholson.”
“I’m Lewis Bright.” He replied, shaking Wiatt’s hand.
“Well, welcome to Happy Hollow Street.” Wiatt said, as he let go of Lewis’s hand.
“Thank you, darling.”
“No problem, darling.” Wiatt replied, giving a smug smile.
Lewis blushed and gave a nervous chuckle. He never had anyone use darling on him, not even his friends. Yet, here’s this boy he never met using darling at him, and it was attracting. Lewis cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject hoping the blush on his face would disappear. As they were chatting they started putting the rest of the posters up together.
“S-So your grandfather runs the Nickel Per Play Arcade?” Lewis asked.
Wiatt nodded as he taped one of the posters on the wall. “Yep!”
“I used to play there all the time when I was a kid.”
“Really?” Wiatt asked. Lewis nodded in reply. “Did you open the coffee shop across from the arcade because of it?”
Lewis chuckled while putting up another poster. “No. It was just a coincidence that the only open building was across from the arcade.” He explained.
“You must feel lucky!” Wiatt exclaimed.
“You can say that.”
The two boys continued to put up and give out posters for the coffee shop. While doing so, Wiatt and Lewis kept on glancing at each other and blushed every time he saw the other’s eyes. Lewis wanted to ask if Wiatt was single, but it felt rude to ask. Wiatt wanted to do the same, but he was worried if Lewis had someone already or wasn’t into him. Then again the blush on Lewis’s face said so otherwise. 
“So…” Wiatt trailed off.
“So…what?” Lewis asked as he put another poster up.
“Uh…are you…available later today?” Wiatt asked.
“I just got to do a few things inside the shop, but I’m free after that.” Lewis answered.
Wiatt smiled. “ I was wondering if you’d like to hang out at the arcade and play some games?”
Lewis smiled. “Sure!” He beamed. “I mean,” Lewis cleared his throat, “sure I’m up for it.”
“Great!” Wiatt exclaimed. 
“Lets finish with these posters, then I’ll grab the next ones to put up, and then we can hang out at the arcade.”
Wiatt nodded. “Okay!”
The two put the rest of the posters up, and soon the stack was completely pinned to every wall and pole. They headed back to Starlight Coffee & Cafe, but someone came out and marched behind them, looming over the two.
“Wiatt!” A gruff voice yelled.
Wiatt and Lewis is gasped and turned around to see an older man come out and walk over to the two boys. The man wore a blue jacket over a dark blue polo shirt, black jeans, and black shoes.
“Where were you?” The man asked.
Wiatt chuckled. “Sorry, Grandpa.” He replied. “I was just showing Lewis around. He and his friends own the coffee shop across the arcade.”
The older man glared at Lewis. Lewis shivered to where he couldn’t think of anything to say that was polite polite to the older man.
“Oh Lewis, this is my grandfather, Carlos Nicholson, the owner of Nickel Per Play Arcade.” Wiatt introduced his grandfather. “Grandpa, this is Lewis Bright.”
“N-Nice to meet you, sir.” Lewis stuttered, as his hand nervously shook, trying to shake the older man’s hand.
Carlos gave the boy a cold glare, before a smile formed as he shook Lewis’s hand, tightly. Lewis flinched as the older man’s grasp became harsher. 
Carlos laughed. “Well, welcome to the neighborhood, kiddo! Sorry for the scare!” He beamed.
“N-No problem, sir.” Lewis stuttered, in pain.
Carlos let go. Lewis held his hand feeling it throb. “So, what have you been doing with my grandson?” The older man asked.
“I was just putting posters around for our new coffee shop, and Wiatt offered to help me.” Lewis explained. 
Carlos looked at his grandson, who nodded in reply. The older man sighed, “as much as I appreciate my grandson helping you. I need him to watch the arcade for a bit while I go run an errand.” He explained.
Wiatt sighed and pouted, but Lewis patted his new friend on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, darling. When I’m done I’ll come in and hang out with you.” He explained.
Wiatt smiled, “thanks Lewis.” He said.
Lewis smiled. “Anytime, darling.”
Wiatt walked back inside the arcade while Carlos left to go run his errand. Lewis walked back inside the cafe and grabbed the rest of the posters. However, he looked up to see Oliver and Sara smirking at him.
“Darlings, why are you looking at me like that?” Lewis asked.
“Did we just see you flirt with the Nicholson kid?” Sara asked.
Lewis blushed, “uh…not really flirt. We just hung out for a bit.” He replied. “Wait, you know him?”
Sara nodded, “he and his grandfather came to me a few days ago to say hi.” She explained. “They seem pretty nice.”
“Yeah, he is.” Lewis sighed, as he turned to the window to see Wiatt overlooking the counter at the arcade.
Oliver went over and put his arm around Lewis. “Sounds like you like him?” He asked.
“I-I mean.” Lewis replied blushing. “He’s cute.”
“Ooooh.” Oliver and Sara said at the same time.
Lewis’s face turned a bright red as he glared at his friends, who chuckled in response. He then marched out the door and slammed it, which made Oliver stop chuckling but not Sara. She continued to laugh until Oliver nudged her shoulder, causing her to stop.
“What?” Sara asked.
Oliver pointed to where Lewis was standing and saw he was gone.
Sara’s face quickly formed into a frown. “Oh.” She sighed. “Too far?”
Oliver nodded in reply, while Sara sighed.
“Don’t worry, he’ll calm down once he’s done.” Oliver reassured his best friend.
Sara nodded as she and Oliver went back to working more on the inside of the coffee shop.
After Lewis finished with putting around the posters. He felt better, and decided to go straight to Nickel Per Play Arcade. Once inside he realized everything looked the same as the last time he was there. There were some new arcade games and claw machines, but that seemed to be it, everything else was as he remembered it.
Lewis looked around to find Wiatt, and saw him helping three boys with their prizes. One boy wanted a purple robot toy, the other wanted a stuffed rabbit, and the last boy got a water gun. They thanked Wiatt before they ran back to their parents and showed them the prizes they got.
Wiatt chuckled. He then saw Lewis and smiled. “Hey! You made it!” He exclaimed.
Lewis chuckled. “Sure have,” he said. “So, what do you feel like doing darling?”
“I don’t know, what are you up for, darling?” Wiatt asked, narrowing his eyes and smirking.
Lewis’s face turned red as a tomato as he let out a nervous laugh. “W-Why do you like calling me darling?”
“Well, you call me darling, so I should also call you darling.” Wiatt replied.
Lewis chuckled nervously. “Well, I call everyone darling. Even my friends.”
Wiatt chuckled, “well, it’s dashing.”
Lewis squeaked as his face turned very red. He turned away from the other boy, as the latter chuckled. “C-Come on let’s play some games.” He stuttered, grabbing Wiatt’s hand and dragging him to the arcade floor. Wiatt chuckled seeing his cru-er-new friend be all flustered.
Once calm, Wiatt helped Lewis with his game card and the two spent the rest of the day playing arcade games together. Lewis was so impressed with how skilled Wiatt was with gaming, that he would be distracted as Lewis lost.
“Yes!” Wiatt cheered, beating Lewis for the 5th time. “Beat you again!”
Lewis sighed, chuckling. “You have skills darling.” He said. “I guess I’m distracted by your skills.”
“Well, I’ve grown up in this arcade so I’ve learned a lot.” Wiatt said, stretching.
“I can tell.”
Wiatt smiled and Lewis smiled back, rubbing the back of his head blushing. “So, you want to play more or do you need to head back?” Wiatt asked.
Lewis looked back at the coffee shop before looking back at Wiatt. “I guess I can play a few more games before I go back.”
“Cool!” Wiatt beamed. “Want to play the new VR game we got set up?”
“Sure!” Lewis replied. The two boys ran over to the VR game and started playing.
Back at the coffee shop, Sara looked through the window, and glared at her best friend hanging out with Wiatt across the street. They we’re near opening day, and yet Lewis was playing games and flirting with the Nicholson.
Oliver didn’t seem to mind, “relax Sara, Lewis is having fun.”
“I know that!” Sara spat. “It’s just, we have a coffee shop to set up, and Lewis is busy playing video games.”
“Sara.” Oliver said, putting his hand on her shoulder. “You can’t be jealous over Lewis making new friends, or in his case, a boyfriend.”
Sara frowned and turned away. She didn’t have a crush on Lewis, but he was one of her first best friends. He protected her from the bullying she went through, even to the point he took a beating, which landed him in the hospital.
Oliver frowned and tried to think of something else to help cheer Sara up. “Even though we’re near opening, it doesn’t hurt for Lewis to take a break.” Oliver stated. “Plus, you did say we could open early, so Lewis spending time with Wiatt doesn’t sound so bad.”
Sara glanced at the arcade and sighed, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt.” She replied. However, she lied as it was a bad idea.
Oliver smiled. “See! What can go wrong?” He asked.
“Everything.” Sara thought.
Oliver then heard his phone vibrating and pulled it out from his pocket. He saw it was his younger sister Liz calling him. “Sara, think you can bring the cups to the storage room? My sister is calling me.” He asked.
Sara nodded. “Sure.” She replied, picking up the boxes.
Oliver picked up the phone and walked outside to take the call. 
Sara then made her way to the storage room. She walked down the hallway to it, and just as she was about to open the door to the room, she saw another locked door nearby that piqued her interest. 
Curious, she put the boxes down, and went to look at the door. The only odd thing about it, was the keyhole was in the shape of an eye. “Huh?” She wondered. Sara remembered in her office, a case with keys all hung up, and quickly went there hoping to find the key for the door.
In her office, Sara saw the case hung over her desk and opened it. Inside she saw many different keys, and one stood out; a black key with a red eye on the top. She took the key and went back to the door, putting the key into the keyhole and twisting it. Sara heard the door unlock, and upon opening the door there was a flight of stairs, going down.
“Huh?” Sara asked. She stepped in and walked downstairs, and was surprised to see bottles filled with colorful substances. “Are these potions?” Sara looked around seeing the amounts of potions around her. She froze seeing a giant, rusted red book at the end of the room. Walking towards it, Sara brushed her fingers on the dusty book. She brushed the dust off her hands on her pants as she read who the book belonged to.
“By Edmund L. Avidmiser.” Sara read. She wondered what he wrote in this book, and carefully opened it. There she saw many potion recipes, some looked worn out due to age, but some were able to be read. “No way!” Sara laughed, as she continued to look through the book.
The potion recipes ranged from making flowers grow bigger, being sticky like glue, all the way to making you fly.
“This is amazing!” Sara exclaimed. Suddenly, she had an amazing idea. Something that could make the coffee shop one of the best places in Happy Hollow Street.

Dreamers of Myths & Legends Chap.9-Scorbunny: The Wild Child
Here is the next chapter and Part 2 of the Galar Story. I’ve been on a Pokemon kick lately and have been setting up future chapters for this AU. I have scripts up to Chapter 14, but I’ve been focused on other fanfics and work to set them up properly. Also I’d rather take things one step at a time, but I’m excited for these chapters to drop.
Big thanks to my beta reader @gigilefache
Enjoy!
Danica was in the kitchen preparing the vegetables for lunch while her Lillipup and Yamper were playing around nearby. Until that is, the three heard calls from her son.
“Mom! Mom! We have an emergency!” Lewis yelled, as he came through the door.
Danica left the kitchen and ran to Lewis, hugging her son tight. “What happened? Did you get hurt by a wild Pokemon? Fell and scraped your knee?” Danica was frantically asking questions if her son got hurt while Lewis muffled and tried to pull away from his mom’s embrace.
“No mom!” Lewis muffled, as he gently pushed her away. “It’s not me, but Sara’s Skiddo.”
Danica and Lewis turned to Sara holding Skiddo’s Pokeball. Her Piplup stood by her as he rubbed her leg for comfort. Wiatt and Oliver approached, both also worried for the young girl.
“What happened?” Danica asked.
“We ran into a Scorbunny and it attacked Skiddo.” Oliver answered.
Danica frowned and walked over to Sara. “Sara, could you send out your Skiddo?” She asked, causing the young girl to look up. “I just want to see her injuries.”
Sara nodded, and opened up Skiddo’s Pokeball. Once Skiddo was out, she looked exhausted, still in pain from the injuries from the burn she suffered.
Danica kneeled down and looked at the Mount Pokémon. “She looks burnt,” she said. “Lewis, get my medical kit.”
Lewis nodded and went to another room to grab the medical kit. As he was grabbing the kit, Danica checked Skiddo’s injuries again and remembered mentio's remark.
“Oliver, did you mention a Scorbunny did this?” Danica asked.
Oliver looked at the older woman and nodded.
Danica sighed, “not again.”
“Wait, mom you know about the Scorbunny?” Lewis asked, as he came in with the medical kit.
Danica nodded. Not a moment too soon, she started to treat Skiddo as she simultaneously ready to tell the story too her son and his friends. The four sat down listening to the older woman. “Scorbunny is well known in the Wild Area. I met him a month after you left on your journey Lewis.”
Flashback: 1 Month after Lewis left for Kanto
“I found him after releasing the Rookiedee and Nickit we took care of before you left.”
After Danica released the two Pokemon, she heard the grunts of pain coming from behind the bushes. She turned around and saw Scorbunny limping and covered in bruises. Danica was horrified and went over to the fire-type Pokemon.
“Who did this to you?” Danica asked.
Scorbunny turned away, but flinched at the pain he was in.
Carefully, Danica held him and took him back to her house to get the Rabbit Pokemon treated. At home, she bandaged up the fire-type Pokemon and saw him glare at the window. 
“I treated for his injuries back home, but I wondered what kind of battles this Scorbunny was getting into.” Danica explained. “After this Scorbunny would come back injured, and soon many Pokemon in the Wild Area were injured thanks to Scorbunny.”
Danica was picking berries and saw an injured Nickit, Wingull and Bunnelby. She went over to the three Pokemon before hearing Scorbunny laugh. She looked over at him as the fire-type Pokemon smirked and ran off, eating a berry.
Flashback ends:
“So, Scorbunny has been getting into fights with Pokemon?” Oliver asked.
Danica nodded, “yes, I wonder if the Pokemon who gave him the injuries the first time we met sparked his attitude.” She wondered, as she finished bandaging up Skiddo.
“It’s possible.” Wiatt replied. He then looked at Oddity, “I wonder if the noises we heard earlier were Scorbunny intimidating him.”
“Eevee.” Oddity agreed.
Danica smiled seeing Skiddo was done being treated. “There. Sara, your Skiddo is going to be just fine.”
Sara smiled and got up as she went over to her Pokemon. The Mount Pokemon bleated happily as Sara hugged her tight. “Oh I’m glad you're okay!” Sara beamed.
Skiddo bleated in reply as she licked her trainer’s face, causing her to laugh.
Lewis and Wiatt smiled, but saw Oliver frowning. “Oliver.” Wiatt started.
“Are you okay darling?” Lewis asked.
The taller boy did not respond, as he was thinking about Scorbunny. He wondered why the Pokémon acted so violently, and if the fire-type wasn’t going to tell him, he’ll find a way, nicely. Oliver got up and went over to the kitchen and picked up an Oran Berry they collected earlier. He then walked towards the door.
“Where are you going?” Wiatt asked.
“I’m going to find Scorbunny.” Oliver replied.
The group looked shocked, but Sara was angry that Oliver wanted to give that mischievous Pokemon a chance. “After what Scorbunny did to my Skiddo, you want to become friends with it?” She asked, growling a bit.
Oliver glared back, “yes, I need to know why Scorbunny acts like this.” Oliver opened the door and stepped out, but before he left he glanced back at his friends. “Besides, I’m the only one who doesn’t have a Pokemon yet.” Oliver then left the house as everyone looked at each other.
Back at the Wild Area, Scorbunny had three pebbles beside him ready to kick towards an Apple tree. He kicked one, which only swung the apples in the tree back and forth. The second one he kicked hit an apple, but still it didn’t fall. The final pebble, Scorbunny kicked hard enough, causing his Ember attack to activate and burning the apple to the crisp.
Scorbunny sighed seeing he wouldn’t get to enjoy an apple after all.
“Scorbunny!” Oliver yelled.
“Scor?” Scorbunny asked as he turned around and saw the taller boy. The Rabbit Pokemon glared at him and growled, “Scorbun…”
“Scorbunny wait. I’m not here to fight you.” Oliver reassured him.
Scorbunny continued to growl and started to walk towards him. Oliver didn’t step back, and quickly grabbed the Oran Berry from his pocket, causing Scorbunny to stop and stare at the boy.
“See, I’m just trying to be nice.” Oliver said. “I know what you did with Sara’s Skiddo was wrong, but I want to understand why you did that.”
Scorbunny cautiously walked towards the taller boy, but didn’t take the berry. “Scorbunny,” he said.
“It’s alright, you can take it.” Oliver reassured him. “I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to talk to you.”
Scorbunny narrowed his eyes and grabbed the berry and took a bite out of it. He turned away as he ate the berry.
Oliver smiled and sat next to Scorbunny, “now, I need to know why you did what you did.”
Scorbunny took a glance at Oliver, continuing to eat the berry. He didn’t respond, and turned away.
Oliver frowned, and remembered what Danica said about Scorbunny. “Did someone hurt you?” He asked.
Scorbunny’s eyes widened, and nodded.
“I’m sorry that happened to you, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to hurt other Pokemon.” Oliver said.
“Scorbun.” Scorbunny groaned.
Oliver sighed, “listen. I’m offering to be your friend Scorbunny.”
“Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed, turning to Oliver. He wasn’t sure if the taller boy was telling the truth, but in reality Scorbunny was lonely, and loved the idea of companionship.
Oliver looked into Scorbunny’s eyes and sighed. He went into his pocket and pulled out a photo. “You know, you remind me a lot of my younger brother.”
Scorbunny turned to see a photo of a young boy and girl who appeared to be twins. “Scorbun.” Scorbunny said, pointing at the boy.
Oliver nodded and chuckled, “yeah you're both stubborn and pranksters.”
The fire type glared and puffed up his cheeks, which made Oliver laugh.
“Yep, your most definitely like Ben.”
Scorbunny sighed, and smiled and the tall boy. He thought to himself and saw Oliver wasn’t so bad. He was pretty cool. Plus he did give him a berry. Suddenly, the fire-type’s ear twitched, hearing something in the distance. “Score! Scorbun!” Scorbunny exclaimed.
“What’s wrong Scorbunny?” Oliver asked.
Scorbunny looked around as his ear continued to twitch. He immediately ran to where the commotion was going on. Oliver put the photo back into his pocket, and followed behind. after a bit of running the two were horrified at what they saw. Two Rookiedee, a Wooper, and a Minccino were caught in a net and was dragged through the bushes.
Angry at whoever was doing this, Oliver and Scorbunny looked at each other and nodded as they went through the bushes. Oliver gasped and stopped the fire-type from getting further. “Scor?” Scorbunny asked.
“Shh.” Oliver shushed Scorbunny as the two saw who stole the Pokemon; Team Rocket.
Meowth laughed as the captured Pokemon were put inside the back of an Ariados robot. “See, I told you our Robo-Ariados can shoot nets up to miles away and store them safe and sound until we see the boss.” He explained. Inside the robot, there were many Pokemon including the ones just captured inside shaking in fear.
“Brilliant Meowth!” Jessie exclaimed. “Shall we stop for today and get going?”
Meowth smile proudly, “we can take a break once we find the twerps’ Pokemon.”
Oliver growled and glared at that claim.
James, however, was concerned about the idea, “are you sure about that Meowth?” He asked. “We’ll get caught if we keep sneaking around stealing Pokemon.”
“Nah, don’t worry!” Meowth reassured his friend.
Jessie then spoke up, “May I remind you, were in the Wild Area. If we get caught here, we can just go to another part of the Wild Area. We hide, steal more Pokemon, rinse and repeat!”
James thought about it for a second, before liking the idea, “I guess that doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Not only that it will show the whole of Team Rocket that we’re not a bunch of quitters!” Meowth exclaimed.
“Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffett exclaimed as well.
“Team Rocket!” Oliver yelled, coming out of the bushes.
Team Rocket stopped and turned to see the taller boy and Scorbunny glaring at them. “Release those Pokemon now!”
“Scorbunny! Scorbun!” Scorbunny yelled.
Team Rocket chuckled before getting into their motto. “Prepare for trouble twerp, you're a bit late!” Jessie started.
“And make it double, while we instigate!” James exclaimed.
“To protect the world from devastation!” Jessie continued.
“To unite all peoples within our nation.” James continued.
“To denounce the evils of truth and love.”
“To extend our reach to the stars above.”
“Jessie!”
“James!”
As Team Rocket continued their motto, Scorbunny yawned. He looked down at the pebble and looked up at Team Rocket with a smirk. “Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed, kicking a pebble at Meowth before he could finish his part of the motto.
“Meowth, that’s-ah!” He screamed being knocked to the ground.
“Wobbuffet?” Wobbufett asked.
Meowth got up, now with a bump on his head. “Hey, don’t just kick rocks at me while we do the motto, Long Ears!” He yelled.
“Scorbunny! Scorbun bun.” Scorbunny replied.
Meowth gasped, putting his hand to his chest as he was offended at what he was just told. “I can’t believe you said that!”
“What did he say?” Jessie asked.
“He called our motto ridiculous.” Meowth cried.
Jessie and James dramatically gasped. “How dare you insult our motto?!” Jessie exclaimed.
“We’ve been doing this motto for a long time with new revisions!” James added.
Scorbunny yawned in reply.
“Don’t just yawn and ignore us!” Jessie yelled.
“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny said.
Meowth growled, “I don’t care if you lived here longer, we won’t be sass-talked by a twerp!”
“Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied. “Scor.”
The Scratch Cat Pokemon gasped hearing Scorbunny just insult him causing him to burst into flames. “That’s it!” Meowth yelled. “Jessie, James get your Pokemon out and lets teach this twerp a lesson!”
“Fine by me!” Jessie replied. “Go, Seviper!” Jessie threw her Pokeball and out came her Seviper.
Seviper hissed upon coming out of their Pokeball.
“Inkay, let’s go!” James yelled as he sent out his Pokemon.
“Inkay!” Inkay beamed.
Oliver realized he was out numbered, but heard Scorbunny call out to him. “Scorbunny!”
“Huh?” Oliver asked.
“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied, reassuring the taller boy that he could battle these two on his own.
Oliver nodded, putting his trust in the Rabbit Pokemon. “Alright, let’s do this.” Oliver said, ready to battle Team Rocket.
“Scorbun.” Scorbunny said.
“Seviper use Bite!” Jessie commanded.
Seviper hissed as they made their way towards Scorbunny.
“Dodge it, Scorbunny!” Oliver commanded.
Scorbunny jumped upwards, missing the Fang Snake Pokémon. The latter kept trying to catch the fire-type Pokemon, but Scorbunny was just too fast for them.
“Inkay, use Psybeam!” James commanded.
“Inkay!” Inkay shrieked as he used his head to launch Psybeam at Scorbunny.
The fire-type missed the attack, and the Psybeam hit Seviper. The poison-type Pokemon hissed in pain as the psychic attack caused major damage on them.
“Seviper, catch that brat with your Poison Tail!” Jessie commanded.
“Sev…iper!” Seviper shouted as their tail started to glow purple and was ready to swing it on Scorbunny.
“Dodge it, quick!” Oliver commanded.
Scorbunny jumped up again missing the attack, however the attack hit Inkay.
“Inkay!” Inkay screamed in pain.
“Inkay, no!” James yelled.
Inkay crashed into the ground, injured from the attack.
Scorbunny landed on the ground as he rubbed his nose and gave a confident smile.
“Wow.” Oliver commented, blinking in surprise. “Your good at this Scorbunny.”
“Scorbun. Scorbunny.” Scorbunny replied.
Seviper then came from behind Scorbunny, and the fire-type didn’t notice it.
“Scorbunny, look out!” Oliver shouted.
Scorbunny turned to see Seviper trying to grab him. He tried to jump to miss the attack, but Seviper quickly snatched Scorbunny and held him tight. The fire-type struggled to break free from Seviper’s grasp.
Team Rocket laughed, happy that they captured the fire-type Pokemon.
“Let him go Team Rocket!” Oliver yelled.
“For being a smart mouth to Team Rocket, and being a twerp? No way!” Meowth yelled.
Oliver growled, trying to figure out what to do. He had no other Pokemon, and Wiatt and the others were still at Lewis’s house.
“Eevee!”
Oliver gasped, hearing a call of an Eevee. A familiar Eevee to be exact.
Suddenly, a Shadow Ball appeared and hit Seviper, causing them to let go of Scorbunny. The fire-type landed with ease, shocked that he was saved.
“Oliver!”
Oliver turned around and saw his friends and their Pokemon ready to join the fight. “You guys made it!” He yelled.
“Hey, we saw what was going on, darling.” Lewis started.
“Meow.” Sprigatito added.
“We’re not missing out on taking down Team Rocket!” Wiatt exclaimed.
“Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed as well.
Scorbunny was shocked to see everyone else help him and Oliver. He then felt vines help him up, which belonged to Skiddo. He was surprised that out of everyone, Skiddo was willing to forgive and help him to his feet.
Skiddo belatedly tells Scorbunny I'm a language only pokemon could understand that despite him being a jerk, she forgives him, but only a little bit.
Scorbunny chuckled in reply. He then looked to see Oddity and Sprigatito who stood beside him and Skiddo preparing to battle Team Rocket.
Jessie, James  and their Pokemon look horrified seeing they were unmatched four to two.
“Well, this is going to be fun.” Meowth said.
“How come, Meowth?” James asked as he and Jessie looked down at their small friend.
“We defeat them, and we steal their Pokemon, too.” Meowth answered.
Jessie and James smiled hearing the idea. “Now that cheered me up!” Jessie exclaimed.
“Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffet exclaimed.
“Oddity, use Shadow Ball on Inkay!” Wiatt commanded.
“Sprigatito, use Leafage on Seviper!” Lewis commanded.
The two heroic Pokemon used their attacks on the two evil Pokemon, dealing massive damage. However, the opposition still stood strong.
“Seviper, use Poison Tail!” Jessie commanded.
“Inkay, use Foul Play!” James commanded.
Seviper’s tail glowed purple, ready to swing it at Sprigatito while Inkay was attempting to grab Oddity.
“Skiddo, grab the Pokemon with Vine Whip!” Sara commanded.
Skiddo bleated as a pair of vines came from her neck as she grabbed Seviper and Inkay before swinging them and throwing them at Meowth. The three Pokemon were then thrown at the machine chest where the Pokemon were stored, causing it to crack.
“Alright, Scorbunny, use Ember!” Oliver commanded.
“Scor!” Scorbunny yelled. The fire type Pokemon used a pebble and kicked it around until it burst into flames. The Ember attack hit the machine, cracking it even more.
“Okay, Scorbunny, use Quick Attack!” Oliver commanded 
“Use Quick Attack too Oddity!” Wiatt added.
“Skiddo, help out with Take Down!” Sara added as well.
The three Pokemon ran, and at the same time, rammed into the machine, breaking it into many pieces. The Pokemon flooded out and quickly ran or flew away from the machine.
Team Rocket were in shock seeing all their captured Pokemon get away. “All our hard work is escaping!” Jessie exclaimed.
“Quick, let’s hop in the Robo-Ariados and catch them back!” Meowth exclaimed.
“Right.” Team Rocket replied.
The trio and their Pokemon bounced inside the robot as it started to move. Wiatt and his friends stepped back when the robot pointed right at them and their Pokemon. Team Rocket laughed, safe inside their machine.
“Alright, time to grab us some Pokemon!” Meowth yelled, as he pressed a button.
The Robo-Ariados formed a net on its spinneret ready to capture Oddity and the other Pokemon.
Scorbunny turned to his new friends in horror, then glared at Team Rocket. Scorbunny looked around and saw a rock and smirked. He sprinted towards the rock as his feet started to fire up, then he skid and kicked the rock as hard as he could, hitting the net of the robot and causing the net to burn to a crisp, an action that caused the robot to burst into flames. Team Rocket shouted in pain, “Hot! Hot! Hot!” as bits and pieces of the robot started to break off.
Scorbunny tried to run and dodge all of the falling debris, only to trip and fall. He turned and saw his foot was caught in the trap Team Rocket made. Oliver gasped seeing Scorbunny trapped as Team Rocket’s mecha was ready to blow.
“Scorbunny!” Oliver yelled.
Scorbunny struggled to break free. Team Rocket’s machine started to spark and blow smoke.
“If we don’t hurry, Scorbunny is going to get caught in the blast!” Wiatt exclaimed.
Oliver frantically thought of what to do, and his eyes widened as an idea came to mind. He went into his fanny pack and took out an unused Pokeball, “Okay, go Pokeball!” Oliver yelled as he threw the Pokeball towards Scorbunny. The Pokeball hits Scorbunny and opens, putting the fire-type inside as Team Rocket’s machine exploded. The Dream Quartet braced themselves from the blast.
Team Rocket now charred and defeated were being blasted to the sky. “Team Rocket’s blasting off again!” They yelled as they blasted off into the sky as a star twinkled.
The blast finally cleared away, and the Dream Quartet uncovered their eyes and looked up from the smoke. “Everyone okay?” Lewis asked.
“I'm fine.” Sara replied.
“Same here.” Wiatt added.
Lewis and his friends turned to Oliver, who stared at the Pokeball shaking on the ground. His friends faced the Pokeball too as a click was heard, successfully capturing Scorbunny. 
Oliver was surprised and went over to the Pokeball. He picked it up and gave a smile. Oliver threw the Pokeball in the air, “come on out!” 
The Pokeball opened and Scorbunny came out. He looked around, shocked he didn’t blow up into smithereens or blast off with Team Rocket.
“Are you okay, Scorbunny?” Oliver asked, concerned for the fire-type.
“Scorbunny?” Scorbunny asked. The fire-type looked at the taller boy and saw his expression. The Rabbit Pokemon looked at himself and saw not a scratch on him, which made him smile and put his paws on his hips proudly. “Scorbunny!”
Oliver sighed, seeing Scorbunny was okay. “Thank goodness.” He said. He walked closer and kneeled to the fire-type’s level. “That was cool what you did there.”
“Scorbun?” Scorbunny asked, tilting his head confused.
“Saving the Pokemon and stopping Team Rocket. You’re a troublemaker, but you're not a bad Pokemon.” 
Scorbunny’s eyes widened and teared up at the words Oliver said to him. He sniffled and wiped his eyes as Scorbunny jumped into Oliver’s arms calling out to him.
Oliver caught him and hugged the fire-type tight. He chuckled before letting go, “we’re going to be a great team.”
“Scorbunny!” Scorbunny exclaimed. However, his stomach started to rumble, causing him to laugh in embarrassment.
Oliver chuckled, “guess you're getting hungry?” He asked.
Scorbunny nodded in reply as his stomach rumbled again, making him embarrassed.
“Well we better head back to your house Lewis.” Oliver said, turning to his friend.
Lewis nodded, “luckily, we got all the ingredients needed and my mom started cooking when we left.” He explained. “It should be done now.”
“Well what are we waiting for?” Sara asked. “Come on, let’s eat!”
The group got excited as they ran to Lewis’s house to enjoy their late lunch. Upon arriving to the house, the smell of curry filled the room as Lewis and his mother cooked the meal together. Other than the curry, there were also some side dishes like bread and vegetables. “It smells so good.” Sara commented.
“I can’t wait to taste it.” Wiatt said, his mouth drooling a bit over how good the food smelled.
Lewis chuckled, “it’s almost done darling.”
Wiatt, Sara Oliver, and their Pokémon got excited. Soon, the timer rang and Lewis smiled knowing the food was done.
“Alright. It’s ready!” Danica exclaimed.
She turned off the heat and then put curry on a few plates with some rice. Lewis and his mom served everyone their plate, and for their Pokémon, special bowls of curry for them to try. Lewis’s friends eyes sparkled and widened at how good the food looked, and were excited to try it.
Lewis sat down between Wiatt and Sara and scooped up some curry in a spoon. “Well, dig in guys.” He said, as he took a bite.
Wiatt, Sara, and Oliver each took a bite of the curry, as did their Pokemon. However, as they kept eating, the trio started to sweat as their faces turned red. “H-Hot.” Wiatt coughed out.
Lewis who swallowed his didn’t feel the heat kick in, “it doesn’t taste that hot, darling.” He said, eating more.
“I-It’s not!” Sara coughed out. “This thing is burning my mouth!”
The group’s Pokemon except Oddity and Scorbunny were in pain from how spicy the curry was.
Danica took a bite out of the curry and chuckled as her face turned a bit red. “It’s spicy, but it actually tastes good.” She commented.
“H-How is it so…spicy?” Oliver asked, as he struggled to swallow the curry. He then heard a chuckle and looked down at Scorbunny, who ate the curry like it was nothing. Oliver glared, “Scorbunny, did you do something with the curry?”
Scorbunny smirked and pulled out a Tomato Berry.
“D-Did you add extra Tomato Berries to the curry?!” Oliver yelled.
“Scorbun.” Scorbunny replied, winking.
The group continued to cough and complain over how spicy the curry was, simultaneously scolding Scorbunny. The fire-type snickered as he took a big bite of his curry, and took joy thinking about how he would  enjoy his new life with his new friends.

WTDW: Pokémon AU Dreamers of Myths and Legends BTS
Hi guys! NOT a new chapter, but I was bored and watched videos of "leaks" about Pokémon ZA and other news for Pokémon Day that I decided to share some behind the scenes like cut stuff and lore. I figured this would be an interesting post while you guys wait for the next chapter!
Here is some interesting Fun Facts:
When I was planning for the starters for the Founder Trio, I wanted them to have the Hissuian Starters. However, I changed my mind last minute and gave them their own starters, mainly Starter Pokémon I liked.
Oliver was supposed to have a Torchic that would constantly peck everyone out of anger, but I changed it to Scorbunny since clips of Scorbunny in the anime, I figured Scorbunny was a perfect match for Oliver.
Prior to Piplup's debut. I did want to give Sara an Oshawott since Sara is my favorite character and Oshawott is my favorite Pokémon. Decided on Piplup because Dawn's Piplup in the anime and how I wanted to wait until we got the Legends ZA starters.
Speaking of, when Pokémon Legends ZA was revealed I wanted to give those sets of starters to Pen, Audrey, and Hayden. However, while working on the ideas for future chapters and no news of ZA I decided to give the Minimum Wage Trio ( @saltyr3mix gave them that name) the Hissuian Starters.
I still plan on using the ZA Starters, but that's unclear at this time.
The series takes place 3-4 years after Ash's adventure in the anime. It's unclear if Horizons is connected with Ash's journal, but if it is, all the stuff in Horizons is taking place WHILE Wiatt and his friends are doing their journey.
Team Rocket was planned last minute as a joke. I needed some villains for Wiatt and his friends to block their way, but Litho and Carlos are too serious to appear and cause trouble, so I thought...what if Team Rocket came back! BEST decision I ever made!
Now here is some planned content. I wanted this in a separate post, but because this is planned and it could be cut I figured sharing it on here.
I have a plot on how Ash would meet Wiatt and his friends. I'm still planning on what Ash has been doing since he left the spotlight, but he has aged up being 14-15 years old now and many of his Pokémon have evolved.
I do also plan for Wiatt and his friends to meet Liko, Roy, Dot, and the rest of the Brave Olivine. However, I'm debating if it should take place during the Japanese airings or just the English airings. Since the Japanese airings a TON of stuff came out.
And that's it for the random Behind the scenes lore and content! I was just bored and need to finish up a chapter of a fanfic, but I figured working on this for the time being.

Magia Chap.14- The Truth Hurts
OMG! THIS was the HARDEST chapter to work on! So I had an idea for this chapter since I started working on Soul Gem AU, and it jumped around from being removed, to moving to Arc 2, and back to Arc 1. 
However, one calm day at work gave me an idea to put this idea to full use and now it’s here in all its glory. When my job is slow is when my brain starts giving me ideas on what to write and I jot it down in a notebook and put it on my documents for later (even though there are some ideas I haven’t put into documents yet.)
Big thanks to @gigilefache for beta reading!
Enjoy!
While Lewis and Sara were searching for their weapons and testing them, Wiatt watched them from a distance and felt a small pang of jealousy. He was ready to walk back before he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Wiatt took the phone out and saw he got a text from an unknown number.
Meet me at the Arcadescape, asap!
Wiatt read the message before typing back:
Who is this?
As Wiatt waited for the reply he wondered if this was Damien or Oliver, and that Lewis possibly gave one of them his number to text him any updates. After waiting a few minutes, he sighed and decided to go up to the Arcadescape and meet with whoever sent him the text.
Once at Arcadescape, Wiatt looked around until he heard metal walking towards him. He gasped as his eyes turned yellow as a shield formed in his hand as a claw tried to strike him down.
“I see you got my message.” Winnie said, an evil smirk showing his fangs.
“What do you want, Winnie?” Wiatt asked, growling at the Pegasus animatronic. He pushed Winnie away, but Winnie came in and tried to claw him.
“What? Can't I say hi to my grandson?” Winnie asked.
Wiatt’s eyes widened as his shield flickered, giving Winnie the chance to punch the young boy, knocking him to the ground. Wiatt struggled to get up as Winnie loomed over him.
“No. Y-You can’t be.” Wiatt struggled to say. “You can’t be Carlos!”
Winnie/Carlos chuckled, circling Wiatt like he was pray for a hungry predator. “Oh but I am, and if you want proof, your father is Owen, if I am not mistaken?”
Wiatt glared, as he launched a shield at Winnie pushing him to the wall. “Anyone could have that info, you're lying to me.” He growled as he got up.
Winnie got up and chuckled, “you think I’m lying.” Wiatt glared as he got another shield ready. “I can tell you everything I know about our family.”
Wiatt growled and threw another shield at Winnie, who missed it with ease.
“Like how your dad left you to follow my footsteps.” Winnie said.
This caused Wiatt to create another shield and threw it at Winnie, who missed the attack once more.
“Or how the reason I left the family was because I wanted to bring back your grandmother, Lucy.”
Wiatt threw shield after shield, but Winnie dodged them with ease as he told the young boy even more stuff about his family. This got Wiatt angry, as he tried to unleash one last shield attack towards the Pegasus animatronic.
“You want more proof huh?” Winnie asked. “Well, where did you find those gems?”
“They were found in my grandfather’s manor.” Wiatt answered.
Winnie chuckled, “and did you question how it got there?”
Wiatt’s shield faded as his eyes went back to brown. “Well no. I don’t know!”
“Well, it was a family heirloom given to my family from my grandfather.” Winnie explained.
Wiatt’s eyes widened realizing Winnie was telling the truth. He didn’t know how the box got there in the first place, but Winnie revealed it, confirming he was indeed Wiatt’s grandfather.
“Y-You really are Carlos Nicholson.” Wiatt whispered.
Winnie nodded, “though I don’t really like being called that name, just call me Winnie… or grandfather.”
Wiatt then unleashed another shield as he glared at the Pegasus animatronic. His eyes were yellow once again, but Winnie saw something was different about it. They weren’t glowing brightly, but looked dull in color.
“Although,” Winnie spoked up causing Wiatt to look up. “There was someone who knew about this.”
“Who?” Wiatt asked.
An evil smirk appeared in Winnie’s face as he ushered the young boy to follow him. Wiatt followed his animatronic grandfather, but got his shield ready incase this was a trap. Winnie led Wiatt to Sara’s office.
“Wait…Sara knew?” Wiatt asked, supprised.
Winnie nodded, “this girl keeps lots of secrets, not just from you, but her friends as well.” He explained, opening Sara’s drawer.
Wiatt’s eyes widened as he looked at all the papers that were in the female’s founder’s desk. From newspaper articles to notes about her plans with Litho.
Three Kids Gone Missing after Forest Fire!
Bodies of Missing Kids Found!
How to Create Immortality?
How to put souls in animatronics?
Wiatt’s eyes scanned through each and every article Sara had in her desk looking in disbelief. “Sara planned on killing someone?” He asked.
“Well it’s not the first time.” Winnie replied.
“What?!” Wiatt exclaimed.
Winnie gasped, “oh right.” He smirked. “Sara never told you or friends she killed three children.”
“She what?!”
“Now it wasn’t recently, it was years ago, but she told me she would never reveal that to anyone. Especially her best friends.”
Wiatt was in disbelief, but knew from the start Sara was not to be trusted. What’s worse, Sara has powers and is potentially putting everyone in danger. Wiatt dropped the papers and marched over to Staract to confront his boyfriend and the murderer.
Once Wiatt arrived at Staract, Lewis and Sara were making their way out, but stopped seeing him, glaring at them.
“Darling, Aae you okay?” Lewis asked.
Wiatt glared, his eyes turning a dark yellow, “why did you lie to me, Sara?” He growled.
Sara took a step back, confused as to what Wiatt meant, “W-What do you mean?”
Wiatt growled and raised his hand, letting out a shield as he threw it at Sara, pushing her into the wall. He then pushed the shield even more, putting pressure on her chest and causing her to not move or breathe.
“W-Wiatt stop!” Lewis yelled.
Wiatt wasn’t listening and kept pushing the shield tighter on Sara. “Why didn’t you tell me about my grandfather being a murderer!” Wiatt yelled.
“Aha! I-I wasn’t trying to-gah!” Sara choked out. She couldn’t breathe with Wiatt’s shield putting pressure on her chest.
“Darling, stop!” Lewis yelled, putting his hands on Wiatt’s shoulder. “Y-You're going to kill her!” Wiatt shoved his boyfriend off, which shocked him. “Wiatt, why are you doing this?!”
“Lewis! Sara’s been keeping secrets from us! I knew she couldn’t be trusted!” Wiatt growled. “My grandfather’s been Winnie this whole time, and she fucking knew it!”
Lewis gasped and turned to Sara. “Is that true, darling?” 
Sara started to turn blue, as she nodded. “I-I didn’t mean to ke-keep it from y-you.” She choked out. “I-I did p-plan on t-telling-ack you.”
Seeing his best friend suffocate he turned to Wiatt. “Darling, please stop! Sara can explain everything to you, there’s no need to suffocate her to get the answers you want!”
Wiatt turned to his boyfriend, then to the girl that was ready to pass out. As much as he wanted to see Sara suffer, he removed the shield and stepped back. Sara took a deep breath and coughed trying to breathe again.
She looked up and saw Wiatt glaring at her. Sara looked down and once she was able to breathe again she was able to talk. “Like I said before, yes I knew Winnie was your grandfather, but I found that out when you arrived.”
“Go on.” Wiatt said, still glaring.
“I didn't believe it at first, but after what Winnie told me about the box. It came to me that you and Winnie were connected!” Sara explained. “It wasn’t until I cut Litho and Winnie off that I ended up looking into it and it clicked!”
Wiatt loosened his glare, “but you still kept secrets from us! Such as you killing children!”
Sara’s eyes widened and looked down. Lewis frowned and turned to Wiatt, wondering if he should say something.
“I had a reason why I did that, I was badly bullied by those kids.” Sara replied.
“That gives you no excuse to kill them!” Wiatt yelled, causing Sara to flinch.
“Darling, she was scared! She didn’t mean for it to happen!” Lewis yelled, before covering his mouth with his hands.
Wiatt stared at his boyfriend with horror that he knew. “Y-You knew?” He whispered.
Lewis nodded, “Sara told me the night Eric and her were in the house fire, and she asked me not to tell anyone.” He explained.
Wiatt growled as he unleashed a shield in his hand and launched it at Sara again knocking her out.
“Sara!” Lewis yelled. He quickly turned to his boyfriend, “Wiatt, stop!” He then squeaked as Wiatt pointed a shield at his boyfriend’s chest. Lewis stepped back, but Wiatt walked closer at him glaring as his eyes turned darker.
“Your telling me she told you and you didn’t tell me?!” Wiatt yelled.
“I didn’t want to tell you because I know you don’t trust Sara, and I figured Sara would tell you and Oliver when she was ready.” Lewis explained.
Wiatt growled, he was ready to attack Lewis but suddenly a blast of electricity, making his shield disappear. The two turned to see it was Oliver attacking Wiatt, but he seemed anxious to doing so.
“Wiatt, what’s going on?” Oliver asked, looking scared at his friend.
Wiatt growled, ready to attack Oliver, but Lewis held him back before he could attack another of his friends. “No! You're not hurting him!” Lewis yelled.
“Lewis let go!” Wiatt yelled.
“No! I’m not letting you hurt another of our friends!” Lewis shouted back.
Oliver looked horrified, ready to use his powers if needed.
Sara slowly opened her eyes and looked up to see Lewis trying to stop and calm Wiatt. In the other corner of her eye she saw Oliver, as his hands had electricity coming out from them.
Lewis struggled trying to stop Wiatt, and ended up gripping his shoulders tight, causing him to look up. “Why are you acting like this, darling? You’d never act like this, especially towards my friends!”
Wiatt growled, “you know why I’m acting like this?” He asked. “I’m fucking jealous! Okay? Are you happy Lewis!”
The other boy’s eyes widened, loosening his grip on his boyfriend’s shoulder. “J-Jealous?” Lewis didn’t notice, but his eyes turned blue as his hands started to glow.
“I wasn’t jealous back in high school, but after you left it’s like you’ve bonded with your friends so much that I’m just pushed to the side now.” Wiatt said, slowly calming down.
Lewis frowned when Wiatt said that. “I’m sorry, darling.” He then heard his boyfriend sniffle, and looked to see tears falling from his eyes.
“It hurt.” Wiatt said. “It hurt when you left me and I couldn’t go with you. I hoped the phone calls and text we did every week would help, but no it didn’t. It made me miss you more Lewis.” Wiatt wiped the tears from his eyes before continuing. “I-I didn’t want to tell you, because I don’t want you to think I was taking you away from them, they’re your friends Lewis and I respect that, but I just missed you so much to where I feel jealous and it felt wrong!”
Wiatt put his face on Lewis’s chest and started to sob. Lewis rubbed Wiatt’s back. “There, there, darling. It’s alright.” Lewis whispered. “It doesn’t feel wrong, I know I’ve been closer to my friends, but that doesn’t mean I’ll separate from you or forget about you.”
Wiatt lifted his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. Lewis saw his eyes were back to its normal brown color, giving him a small smile. 
“I do love you, darling, and I’m sorry I left you for so long.” Lewis said, his eyes glowing a bright blue.
Wiatt sniffled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “I forgive you.” He replied.
Seeing Wiatt has calmed down, Oliver loosened his powers and went over to check on Sara, who was struggling to get up.
“Are you okay?” Oliver asked.
Sara gave a nod, “I’m fine.” She replied.
Oliver sighed in relief as he helped Sara up. The two went over to Wiatt and Lewis. To their surprise they saw Lewis’s healing powers had activated.
“Uh Lewis.” Oliver whispered, as he pointed to his friend’s hands.
Lewis looked and saw his healing powers activated, surprising him. “But how? I thought I can only heal physical injuries?” 
“I guess your heal and calm someone down if desired.” Sara pointed out.
Lewis looked at his hands shocked he was able to have Wiatt open up his feelings. Had his powers not activated, Wiatt would’ve held it in, and it would be a lot worse then what he just did.
Wiatt sighed and turned to Sara and Oliver, “I’m sorry for being jealous of both of you. You cared for Lewis and I feel awful for being jealous.”
“I forgive you, Wiatt.” Oliver replied.
Wiatt smiled before turning to Sara, who tried to speak. At first she was nervous.
“I’m sorry too.” Sara let out. Wiatt looked up at the female founder, “I should’ve told you the truth when I had the chance.”
“It’s alright.” Wiatt replied with a smile. “I accept your apology.”
“I accept yours too.” Sara replied, smiling back. Seeing the two had buried the hatchet, Sara quickly hugged Wiatt, which surprised him. He looked at Lewis and Oliver, who just smiled.
“This is her way of being friendly, darling, just take it.” Lewis mouthed.
Wiatt nodded and hugged Sara back. At that moment Sara’s eyes turned pink as her powers activated again. “A-Again?” She asked.
Sara was sent back to the past and saw Clara standing at the front entrance of a cave. She had her basket and pickaxe ready to mine for geodes. Before she could enter the cave, footsteps were heard running towards her.
“Clara!” A male’s voice called out.
Clara turned and for the first time, Sara saw her face. Clara’s appearance was similar to her own like how Cyrus looked like Lewis and Arthur looked like Oliver.
“Phillip?” Clara asked.
Phillip arrived and caught his breath before looking up at his friend with a glare. Sara’s eyes widened seeing Phillip looked exactly like Wiatt.
“What are you doing here?” Phillip asked. “Don’t you know your not allowed to be here?”
Carla chuckled, “sorry, but I just can’t help it. Ever since I found the first gemstone, I’ve been looking for more.”
Phillip sighed and crossed his arms, “your going to get in lots of trouble.” He said.
“I know, but you will too.” Carla replied.
“Huh?” Phillip was confused.
“Your going to cover for me, while I find more of these gems.”
Phillip’s eyes widened, “are you out of your mind!?”
“Come on, your my best friend Phillip.” Carla put her hand in his shoulder.
“I know.” Phillip sighed. “I just don’t want to loose you. You know how Mr. Edmund is with… suspicious people.”
Clara rolled her eyes, “Yeah…he gives me the creeps, but as long as your here. I’ll be fine, okay?”
Phillip sighed and was about to give his answer before Sara was pulled back from reality.
Sara gasped as her eyes went back to normal and she let go of Wiatt and stared at him in shock. “P-Phillip?” She asked.
“S-Sara. It’s me Wiatt.” He said. It then hit him realizing Sara had another time vision. “I’m guessing a time vision.”
Sara nodded, “I finally saw everyone.” She said. Sara turned to Oliver, “Oliver, the person that looked like you was named Arthur.”
Oliver’s eyes widened in surprised.
Sara then turned back to Wiatt, “and your person was Phillip.”
Wiatt was in shock and awe.
“And I…” Sara paused. Wiatt, Lewis and Oliver turned to face her. “I saw Clara, and she looked like me.”
Lewis put a hand on her shoulder, causing Sara to look up. “I had that feeling for a while, darling.” He said.
Sara smiled, “me too.” She whispered.
“Well now that you saw Clara and her friends, what now?” Wiatt asked.
“Now,” Sara started as she turned to Oliver. The later was confused, until Sara continued, “it’s time I tell you all the truth.”

Magia Chap.13- Gearing Up!
HAPPY (LATE) NEW YEARS!!!
Here is the next chapter! This one gave me some trouble as near the end the chapter it looked like it wasn’t going anywhere. After some help from a friend as well as putting it off to the side I was able to come up with how the ending of this chapter will go, and I like it. This also made me go back to some fanfics I also had on hold and edited some of them (some that were posted before this one). 
Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.
Enjoy!
After the conversation with Alison, Sara fled to her office to do research, this time on Clara. The female founder went through many websites to find her topic of interest, but it was hard as there were many people with that name during specific time periods. What’s worse, there were no photos to help Sara find her visually.
“Come on, there’s got to be something!” Sara complained, as she closed out of one website and opened another. She looked through that website, but like all the others nothing came up. Sara let out a frustrating groan as she slammed her head down on her desk.
Lewis was passed by as he heard his best friend groaning, causing him to enter into her office, “You okay, darling?” He asked.
“No! I’m not!” Sara snapped as she brought her head up. “After what happened this morning, I’ve been trying to do research on Clara, but with no last name and living in a time with no photos I can’t find anything on her!”
Lewis sighed and pulled a chair close to her. He put his hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up. “Darling, you’ve been pushing yourself too much finding Clara.”  
Sara turned her gaze away from her friend. 
“Why do you want to find her so badly?”
Sara sighed, “because, she has all the answers to what’s going on!” She exclaimed. “She found those gems and used them to stop Litho a long time ago. If we had her answers, maybe we would know how to control our powers better or how to stop Litho or-”
“Sara calm down!” Lewis yelled, cutting Sara off as he put his hands on her shoulders.
Sara paused, before letting out a sigh, “I’m overacting again, huh?”
“You do it quite a lot darling.” Lewis commented.
She chuckled, “sorry. I just want the answers to everything.”
Lewis nodded, “I know, but remember, Damien is looking into this, and soon we’ll have the answers needed.”
“I hope so.” Sara sighed.
Lewis put his arm around his best friend. “Feeling better?” 
“Mhm.” Sara replied while nodding.
“Alright,” Lewis sighed. He then let go of his friend to give her time to calm down before speaking. “Think you can help me with something?”
“What is it?” Sara asked.
Lewis got up and took his friend’s hand. “I’ll tell you on the way there,” he said.  Lewis led her to the elevators and they rode it to Staract.
As the elevator went down, Sara turned to her friend, as he never brought up what he needed help with, “well aren’t you going to tell me?” She asked.
Lewis nodded, “well you know how my powers are healing and yours is time related?” He mentioned.
“Yeah.” Sara replied. “Why?”
“Well, our powers can’t help us fight.” Lewis answered. “Wiatt can protect us, but his shields can be used as weapons, and Oliver’s electric powers can attack if he uses it, but ours we can’t really defend ourselves.”
Sara thought of that, and realized her friend was correct. During their fight with Winnie only Wiatt Oliver did some damage, but her and Lewis got the most injuries. 
However, she had frozen time before saving Eric from the house fire. “My powers can freeze time, but that was one time.I don't know how that happens.” She pointed out. 
“Exactly darling, that’s why we need to find weapons to defend ourselves.” Lewis stated.
The elevator rang as the two made it to the Staract. They entered the theater and went to the stage and entered backstage where the props would be. Lewis opened the door and turned on the light, before he closed it he checked to make sure no one followed them and closed it.
“The prop room, really?” Sara asked. “Lewis the weapons in here are not real, how is this going to defend ourselves?”
“I know you said you don't like it when we’re messing with our powers,” Lewis stated. He dragged one of the ladders and started to climb, “but it seems everytime we mess with it, we find out something new. So let’s mess with them.”
Lewis grabbed one of the prop boxes and opened them, showing prop weapons. Sara watched seeing her best friend dig through stuff to find a weapon for him. She looked at her gem, and the box in front of her. With a sigh she decided to dig through the box.
The two pulled out different items to see which one seemed fitting. Lewis found a prop cutlass and pointed at Sara, making her jump back before the two shared a laugh. He put it aside as he continued to look for a different item.
Sara on the other hand found a prop gun, which made her uneasy so she put it back. “Hmm…” she looked at the remaining items, before looking back up at her friend, “find anything?” She asked.
Lewis nodded. “I’m debating between a cutlass or this wand.” He said, showing a blue magical girl wand. “What about you darling?”
Sara sighed, “nothing yet.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll find something that you’ll connect with soon,” Lewis said.
Sara frowned and continued digging through the box. “Huh?” She then saw something deep inside the box. Sara went in deeper and pulled out an archery bow. “What’s this doing here?”
Suddenly, Sara’s gem glowed brighter as she let out a gasp as her eyes turned pink. Lewis looked up and was shocked seeing Sara’s powers activating once again.
Sara’s powers brought her back to the past, and there she saw Clara practicing archery outside of her home. Clara hit a bullseye that she drew on a tree, and saw her turn to someone. “Ready to try, Arthur?”
“Arthur?” Sara asked. Then she saw him….
Arthur looked exactly like Oliver back when he was in high school with his orange hair tied into a ponytail. However, he looked a bit shorter than Oliver.
“I-I guess.” Arthur replied.
Clara then helped Arthur position himself and how to hold the arrow. “Alright, you put your hands in position like this, and make sure your thumb points at your target.” She explained. “Make your hands relaxed and then shoot.”
Arthur nodded and did all that and launched the arrow at the tree. Before the arrow could hit Sara was sent back to the present.
Sara gasped looking at the bow and arrow in her hand. “Time vision again, darling?” Lewis asked. Sara turned to her best friend.
“Y-Yeah.” Sara answered.
“Past or future?” 
“Past. I saw more of Clara and she was with another friend, Arthur.” Sara explained.
“Who is Arthur?” Lewis asked.
“He looked like Oliver, but shorter.” Sara answered, chuckling at the thought of the person that looked like their best friend, who is taller than the two of them, being shorter.
Lewis chuckled, before realizing Sara found her weapon of choice. “You know darling, I think it’s not just people, but whatever you touch causes your powers to activate.”
Sara’s eyes widened as she looked at her weapon. She wondered if this was a sign, and that the bow and arrow was her choice of weapon. 
However, there was one problem: there were only three arrows in the set. 
Sara continued to dig through the box in hopes to find more arrows. At the end of the box, she found two more, but that was all. “Well, I guess it’s the best I can do.” She looked up to see Lewis still deciding between the wand or the cutlass. “Have you decided yet?”
“No, not yet.” Lewis replied. He looked between the two weapons to see which one he wanted to pick. His gem started to glow as his hand went to the wand. This surprised Lewis, but to make sure the reaction was wand related, he moved his hand away from the wand and saw the gem light fade. Once he put his hand near the wand, the gem glowed again. Lewis knew what his weapon would be and took the wand. “I finally made my choice darling.”
“Alright. So now what?” Sara asked.
“We’re gonna mess around with them.” Lewis answered.
“How?” Sara asked. Lewis didn't answer and instead eyed her bow and arrow. She looked at it and up at Lewis, realizing what he meant. Sara shook her head in horror, “I-I don’t want to hurt you Lewis.”
Lewis sighed and put his hand on Sara’s shoulder, which caused her to look up at her friend. “You're not going to hurt me darling,” he said. “Don’t forget I have healing powers.”
Sara looked up at her friend and gave a small smile, “okay.” 
Lewis smiled and the two took a step away from each other. They took a deep breath and faced each other holding their weapons tightly. Sara put the arrow on the bow and was ready to aim it at Lewis, while the latter held the wand close to him.
At that moment, the duo’s gems were illuminated as a light made its way towards their weapons. The light turned Sara’s bow and arrow pink with the ends of it yellow. Lewis’s wand turned bigger and gained a crescent moon holding a star and a blue gem at the bottom.
In shock, Sara released the arrow. Lewis screamed and used his wand to defend himself, as the wand let out a beam of stars to destroy the arrow.
After that they fearfully paused seeing the prop items turned into actual weapons. “What the fuck was that!” Lewis and Sara exclaimed at the same time.
“Okay, I didn’t expect that!” Sara exclaimed.
“Me neither! Like what the bloody hell!” Lewis exclaimed, as he waved the wand around which caused a star projectile to be launched into the ceiling.
Lewis and Sara looked up to see a dent on the ceiling, then looked at each other. Now curious, Sara strummed the bow string and then held her bow like she was ready to aim it until a pink arrow appeared. “Huh?” She asked, surprised. Sara launched the arrow, it went by fast and hit the wall.
The two friends looked at one another, “you still want to practice darling?” Lewis asked.
“S-Sure.” Sara answered.
The two got themselves ready and Sara was the first one to make the first move. An arrow appeared in her bow as she launched it.
Lewis missed the attack and used his wand to launch a beam of stars at Sara. With a smirk she too missed the attack, and was ready to launch another arrow.
Sara had an idea, and tried to activate her time stop powers. She clicked her heels, her eyes turned pink. Shetook a step back as a pink aura surrounded the area, even Lewis was frozen in time.
“Alright!” Sara cheered. She then launched another arrow and saw it frozen in time as well. With a smirk she was able to send out arrow after arrow until her time powers unfroze and the arrows flew their way to Lewis.
Lewis yelped as he missed the oncoming arrows, and used his wand to launch a beam of stars to destroy the last one Sara fired. He then gasped when he saw Sara create two new arrows, ready to launch them at Lewis.
“Okay, this is the kind of messing around I can deal with!” Sara laughed, launching the arrows.
Lewis missed the arrows, preparing to launch another beam of stars at his best friend. “Agreed darling!” He beamed using his wand to attack.
Sara missed it and launched one more arrow at Lewis. However, he didn’t have time to dodge it as it pierced his right arm, causing him to yell in pain.
“Oh my god!” Sara yelled. She ran to her best friend, as the arrow in his arm disappeared leaving a large wound. “Lewis, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”
“It’s okay darling.” Lewis winced in pain. He used his left hand and used his healing powers to heal the wound. Once it disappeared, Lewis sighed, feeling fine.
Sara sighed. Her friend was fine, thankfully. Still, the guilt she hurt her friend never went away.
Lewis took notice and put his hand on her shoulder, causing Sara to look up. “Hey, I told you, my powers can heal me. You’re fine.” He explained.
“Alright.” Sara replied smiling.
Lewis and Sara’s gems started to glow again, the weapons glowed, and then went inside their gems. The gems glowed brighter before turning back to normal.
“So that’s how they get put away.” Sara gasped.
“Pretty much. I thought we had to chant some spell or something.” Lewis joked. Sara laughed, which made Lewis smile. “There’s the Sara I remembered.”
Sara stopped laughing and smiled. “Come on, we should head back.”
Lewis nodded and the two started to walk back to their office. However, they were stopped when Wiatt opened the door with a blood curdling, fearful gaze in his eyes and sweat pouring down his brow. Something was wrong with the mechanic.
“W-Wiatt?” Lewis asked. “Are you okay?”

How do you think the amphibia girls would get along with the soul gem goobers? :3
I can see them getting along!! I can see the Calamity Girls being jealous that the Soul Gem Quartet can use their powers on a daily basis while the Calamity Girls don’t have special powers unless they transform.

Soul Gem AU: The Somnium Box and Jewels
Big thanks to @belladazeblog916 for helping with naming the jewels.
Lore (as of now):
The name of the box is the Somnium Box and it was founded by Clara (Klar-ah). Later the gems were wielded by her and her three friends: Arthur, Cyrus, and Phillip in the late 1700’s.
You’ve met Clara and Cyrus, but soon you’ll met Arthur and Phillip. You’ll also find out who they are, but there are clues.
The jewels inside the box give the holder powers and each gem gives their holder a certain power.
The jewels were found in black geodes that Clara was able to find in an old cave. She was told countless times that the cave was off limits, but she ignored them and went ahead. There were times she asked her best friend Phillip to cover for her.
There’s (probably) more gems, but so far 4 have been shown.
Names of the Jewels and their Powers:
Blue-Topaz Azul-Healing-Lewis
Green-Viridis Jadite-Electric-Oliver
Pink-Roseus Tempus Spinel-Time--Sara
Yellow-Lutum Sphalerite-Protection-Wiatt
The gems powers fit their holders wishes or talents. For example:
Sara having time powers is because she regrets the entire incident with her three bullies and wishes she could’ve stopped it.
Wiatt having protection powers is because he’s worried about Lewis and wants to protect him.
Oliver’s electric powers are his connections with coding. Though it’s also my way of referencing his TV situation in the main canon.
Lewis being a healer is how he’s caring and wants to help and comfort his friends, plus the group needed a healer.
If anything, yes the four could’ve gotten different powers if they had different goals and wishes in mind. For example, Lewis could have electricity powers and Oliver could be healing if that’s their element.
The powers do connect with their souls and soul essence. I don't want to spoil TOO much, but their powers can get stronger or weaker depending on their emotions.
I'd like to share more, but I don't want to spoil TOO much of the story and more information will come in Arc 2. Yes this series has 2 parts too it, which are Magia (Arc 1) and Connection (Arc 2). I do hint at a 3rd Arc, but that's a maybe.
If you want to know more of Soul Gem AU check out the fanfic under the #Soul Gem AU or #magia au tags, or drop an ask on my asks box.

Dreamers of Myths & Legends Chap.8- Welcome Home to Galar
Here is the next chapter! We’re also getting into more Mew research as I held that off for like the past 5 chapters. This fic is giving anime vibes and I want to keep it that way.
So I brought this up to tumblr, but never on here. If you noticed I’ve been writing long chapters for my fanfics, and it can get a bit exhausting. While looking at the notes for this chapter, I realized with all I have this chapter would be longer. With that I’ve made the decision to split certain ideas into parts starting with this one. This is to make the chapters a bit easy on myself without stressing out over filling up the ideas I’ve planned since this AU started. Some of the ideas I have may be split into 2 or 3 chapters, the most would be 4.
Big thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.
Enjoy!
The Dream Quartet were on a plane going to their next researcher quest. This quest excited Lewis as they would be heading to his hometown, the Galar region. Throughout the entire flight, Lewis was excited to be back in his home region.
Wiatt glanced at his best friend and smiled, “you seem excited.” He said.
“I am!” Lewis beamed. “I finally get to show you guys the Galar Regin!”
“You’ve been excited since this morning,” Sara added.
Flashback:
“Really?!” Lewis shouted. “We’re going to the Galar Region?”
Eric nodded, “I got in touch with someone who has info on Mew.”
Wiatt’s eyes widened as he got up, equally excited as Lewis. “Really?!” He asked.
“Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed, excited like his trainer.
“I figured these two would be excited,” Sara commented seeing her two friends getting excited.
Sara then felt Lewis grab her hand. “Come on darling, we don’t want to be late!” Lewis exclaimed as he dragged his friend out of the facility.
“W-Wait! Lewis!” Sara complained as her friend started to run straight to the airport.
Flashback ends:
Lewis chuckled, “I-I guess I was too excited darling.” He replied. “But, I get to give my best friends the Galar Region experience!”
“Meow! Meow!” Sprigatito exclaimed, excited as well.
The group chuckled, seeing they were all excited to get to Galar. Oddity glanced at the window and his eyes widened as he saw the view of Galar right below them.
“Eevee! Eevee!” Oddity called out.
The Dream Quartet looked down and saw the view of Galar right below. They smiled, but Lewis’s smile was wider than the others.
“We’re here!” Lewis exclaimed.
Once the plane landed, Lewis and Sprigatito were the first ones off the plane. Lewis saw Galar hadn’t changed at all since he left. Sprigatito looked around Galar and saw it was different than back home.
Wiatt and the others got off the plane and went to Lewis’s side.
“Welcome to the Galar region!” Lewis beamed. “So what do you darlings want to do first? Shop, eat, I know all the best spots!”
Wiatt chuckled, he had never seen Lewis excited before, then again Galar was his home region, so it was to be expected. Lewis wanted to give him and his friends the best experience in Galar. “Well,” Wiatt spoke up, “we should see who Eric wanted us to meet before we do anything fun.”
“Did Eric say where we’re meeting his person?” Oliver asked.
“They live somewhere called the Wild Area.” Wiatt answered.
Lewis’s eyes widened and smiled putting his hands together. “Hey! That’s where I live!” He exclaimed. “How about we stop by my place before meeting the person, Eric requested?”
Wiatt and the others looked at each other and smiled, “sounds like a plan!” He replied.
“Vee! Vee!” Oddity exclaimed.
The four chuckled as Lewis led them to the train station to get to the Wild Area.
Off the plane, Team Rocket in disguise in trench coats and hats, were curious to where Wiatt and his friends were going. The trio were originally here on vacation, but upon seeing the Dream Quartet they decided to follow them.
“I wonder where the twerps are going this time?” Meowth asked.
“Let’s not wonder,” Jessie stated. “Let’s follow and find out.”
James and Meowth nodded, and the trio went to the train station to follow Wiatt and his friends. Once they got on the train, they decided to sit down in the booth right in front of Wiatt and his friends. Team Rocker chuckled that they didn’t get caught.
Oddity took notice of the evil trio, but Team Rocket turned away and whistled. The Eevee tilted his head in confusion, not recognizing Team Rocket in their disguise. He brushed it off and relaxed on Wiatt’s lap.
During the train ride through the Wild Area, Wiatt and the others were in awe at all the sights the area had to offer. Oddity and Sprigatito’s eyes widened seeing many wild Pokemon roaming from the window.
“Do you like it, darling?” Lewis asked his Pokemon.
“Meow!” Sprigatito mewled.
“Think we can explore after we get what we need?” Sara asked.
“Sure, darling.” Lewis replied.
On Team Rocket’s side, they smirked seeing all the Pokemon in the Wild Area. “Look at all the Pokemon around here.” Jessie beamed.
“Yeah, why didn’t we strike here the last time we were in Galar?” Meowth asked.
“How about we grab the Pokemon from the Wild Area then we grab the twerps Pokemon?” James suggested.
“Perfect!” Meowth exclaimed. “With a place filled with Pokemon, we might find some rare ones!”
“Very rare!” Jessie and James exclaimed.
“True that, darlings.” Lewis interrupted.
Team Rocket turned to Lewis and saw he overheard some of the conversation. They froze in fear hoping the young boy didn’t hear their master plan.
“Is this your first time visiting the Wild Area?“ Lewis asked.
“Uh…y-yes. We’ve been wanting to visit for so long.” James lied.
“Yeah, just three friends on vacation!” Jessie lied.
Lewis smiled, “Well I hope you like it, the Wild Area is a huge place with many different areas and different Pokémon.”
Team Rocket sighed as they imagined the different Pokemon in the Wild Area with a happy Giovanni crying tears of joy.
“I can’t wait!” Meowth exclaimed.
Soon the train started to slow down as it made its way to the station. Once it came to a full stop, everyone got off the train. Team Rocket was the first one off and started to make their way to the Wild Area hoping to get out of their disguises and start scheming.
Lewis and the others got off the train, smiling seeing Team Rocket have fun. “Well, they look happy,” Wiatt said.
“They sure are, darling.” Lewis replied. “Come on, let’s get going.”
The group nodded and started to make their way through the Wild Area.
Rustle Rustle
Oliver gasped and turned around hearing something from the bushes. However, there was no one in sight.
“Oliver?” Wiatt asked. Oliver turned to his friend. “You okay?”
“Y-Yeah,” Oliver replied. “I thought I heard something.” Ignoring it, he continued walking with his friends.
Once the group walked further away a pair of white ears with orange and yellow markings appeared from the bushes. The Pokemon stuck it’s head out more seeing the group before smirking. This particular Pokemon is Scorbunny, and he couldn’t wait to have a little fun.
“So who are we seeing?” Oliver asked.
Lewis looked at the note Eric gave him, and upon reading the name he froze up.
“What’s wrong?” Wiatt asked.
Lewis slowly looked up and whimpered. “My mom.” He realized she was the person who had the answers for Mew, Danica Bright.
The group was getting close to Lewis’s house, which was blue with a dark blue roof, and the fence had paintings that Lewis had drawn when he was a kid till recent times. Taking a deep breath, Lewis knocked on the door and waited.
Not a moment went by as the door opened and Danica came out. A smile grew on her face seeing her son at the door. Danica had long light brown hair and green eyes like her son. She wore a white sweater over a dark blue dress.
“Lewis!” Danica exclaimed, hugging her son tight. “Oh, my baby boy it’s so good to see you!”
Lewis groaned seeing his mom embarrass him in front of his friends. Wiatt and his friends smiled and chuckled a bit seeing Danica cuddling her son.
“Mom…” Lewis groaned.
Danica chuckled and let go of her son, “sorry, dear. I just missed you since you left.” She said.
Lewis sighed and gave a small smile, “I missed you too.”
Danica hugged her son again before quickly letting go. She then turned to her son’s friends and realized she hadn’t met them physically yet.
“Oh, Mom, this is Sara, Oliver, Wiatt, and his Eevee, Oddity.” Lewis introduced his friends.
“Nice to meet you.” The three said in reply.
Danica smiled and hugged her son’s friends tightly, to the point they couldn’t even breathe.
“M-Mom!?” Lewis exclaimed.
Danica ignored her son’s cries as she continued hugging his friends. “Oh thank you so much for taking care of my son!” She beamed.
“No…problem…” The three replied, muffled.
“Meow,” Sprigatito spoke up. The Grass Cat felt offended she wasn’t introduced.
Danica heard the Pokemon and let go of her son’s friends giving them a chance to breathe.
“Oh sorry darling.” Lewis apologized. “Mom, this is my partner, Sprigatito.”
“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito said, introducing herself. Her tail wagged excited to meet her trainer’s mom.
Danica smiled and kneeled down at the Grass Cat Pokemon. She petted the Pokemon who let out a purr. “Aww, she’s cute.” She beamed. “Have you been taking good care of my little starlight?”
Lewis blushed in embarrassment that his mom dropped his nickname in front of his friends. The group snickered upon hearing that.
“Starlight?” Sara asked.
“Shut up,” Lewis grumbled, causing his friends to laugh even more.
Danica chuckled and got up, “well, come in you guys.” She said, opening the door wider as her son and his friends walked in.
Upon walking in they heard barking, which made Sprigatito freeze. Coming down the stairs was a Yamper and a Lilipup.
“Yamper! Lillipup!” Lewis beamed as he kneeled down and hugged his mom’s Pokémon. “Darlings, I missed you guys.”
The two dog Pokemon barked happily as Lewis petted them and in return, they gave him kisses.
Sprigatito growled seeing the two puppy Pokemon give their trainer a lot of love and affection.
Lewis heard his Pokemon growl and turned to face her, chuckling. “Lillipup, Yamper, this is my Pokémon Sprigatito.”
Sprigatito growled as Lillipup went over to the Grass Cat Pokémon first. He sniffed her, which gave Sprigatito some ease before going over to give her a lick on the face.
“Meow,” Sprigatito said.
Lillipup barked, which made Sprigatito smile and meow back. Yamper then went over to Sprigatito and sniffed her too before nuzzling her. At first, Sprigatito didn’t mind it, but the sparks from Yamper’s fur made her jump back and hiss, making everyone laugh.
Lewis then carried Sprigatito and held her. “So Mom, you said you found information about our research?”
“I sure did. I found it in the attic.” Danica answered.
She led her son and his friends upstairs, before pulling up the ladder and opening the attic. Unfortunately, a downpour of items came down on top of everyone.
Lewis was the first to come out of the pile, “Mom! Did you forget to clean up?!” He exclaimed.
Danica came out of the pile and chuckled. “Sorry, when Eric told me your mission, I remembered I had something in the attic given to me from my grandfather.” She explained.
Lewis sighed, as the rest of his friends came out of the pile.
After escaping, Danica dug through the pile trying to find what she planned on showing her son and his friends.
“Well, this will be a while,” Wiatt commented.
“Hey, while my mom is looking for it, why don’t I show you guys something my mom and I do?” Lewis asked, walking to another room.
“Uh… sure.” Oliver replied as he, Wiatt, and Sara followed their friend. Lewis took his three friends to another room and opened the door. 
His friend’s eyes widened seeing some Pokémon resting and playing. “Woah!” They exclaimed.
“Look at all the Pokemon!” Oliver exclaimed.
“Are these all yours?” Wiatt asked.
Lewis shook his head. “Nope. These are all wild Pokemon.” He replied. “You see darlings, because there’s no Pokemon Center in the Wild Area, my mom takes care of all the injured Pokemon that come around here,” Lewis explained.
“Wow,” Sara replied. “Sounds like my caretaker back in Kalos.”
As the group was discussing, Oddity saw a silhouette peeking from the window. “Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed.
Everyone turned to the Evolution Pokemon, “Oddity, what’s wrong?” Wiatt asked.
“Eevee! Eevee!” Oddity exclaimed, trying to tell his trainer he saw something outside.
Wiatt put Oddity down and the normal-type ran outside to find out who was spying on them. He looked around hoping to find who that silhouette was, but there was no one in sight.
“Eevee?” Oddity questioned.
Wiatt came outside and looked around seeing nothing either. “Hmm…maybe it was just a Pokemon passing by.”
“Vee.” Oddity wondered.
“Come on, let’s get inside,” Wiatt said, as he walked back inside Lewis’s house.
Oddity blinked and glared before following his trainer back inside. Suddenly, a pebble came flying by and hit Oddity over the head. “Eevee!” Oddity growled, but saw no one. “Eevee?”
“Oddity, come on!” Wiatt called out.
The Eevee sighed and went back inside. From the bushes, Scorbunny smirked and snickered.
While the Dream Quartet sat down in the living room, waiting for Danica to find what she wanted to show her son and his friends. The older woman smiled thinking she had found what she was looking for. “I think I found it!” She beamed.
The Dream Quartet turned to see the older woman come by and showed a photo of Lewis as a toddler wearing a Pichu onesie. Wiatt, Sara, Oliver, Oddity, and Sprigatito tried to hold in their laughter, but Lewis blushed in embarrassment seeing his baby picture.
“Mom!” Lewis yelled.
His friends then laughed hard, as Lewis covered his face with his hands. Danica looked at what she pulled and realized she grabbed the wrong thing. “Oops. Sorry sweetie.” She said, putting the photo behind her back as she went back to the pile of stuff and found the right item; a torn piece of paper. “Here it is!”
Danica walked back to the group, who had calmed down after that funny moment. She sat next to her son as she showed him and his friends what looked to be a map of an mysterious island. On top of it, the words -away Island, half of the name.
“This is part of a map for a place called Faraway Island,” Danica explained.
The Dream Quartet was in awe seeing part of the map. “This is where Mew lives?” Wiatt asked.
Danica nodded in reply. Lewis picked up the map before looking up at his mother, “Mom, how long have you been keeping this?” He asked.
“This map belonged to your grandparents,” Danica answered. “They always explored everywhere, finding rare Pokemon, and Faraway Island was one of their travels.”
Lewis put the map down as his friends looked into it again. “What happened to the other pieces of the map?” Sara asked, mentioning how the map was torn.
Danica sighed. “My parents went on so many adventures, and that also meant they encountered dangerous people on their journeys.” She explained. “To avoid those dangerous people, they ripped pieces of their maps and gave a piece to people they trusted with one of those pieces being given to me.”
Wiatt sighed in disappointment, now he and his friends had to find the pieces before they could get closer to finding Mew.
“So I guess the search is ongoing?” Lewis asked, sighing in disappointment.
“Pretty much.” Sara sighed, disappointed as well. The three let out a sigh, but not Oliver.
The taller boy looked at the map, analyzing how many pieces they needed to find. “From the looks of it, we’re missing two pieces,” Oliver concluded. He turned to Danica “Do you know where the other pieces could be?”
“Hmmm…” Danica thought. “If I can recall one of the pieces is in Johto.”
Oliver smiled. “Hey that’s my home region. Maybe one day we’ll stop by there once we get information.” He explained.
“Sounds like a plan!” Sara exclaimed.
Wiatt felt his stomach rumble. Not long after Lewis’s stomach started to rumble as well.
Danica chuckled “Looks like you four are hungry.”
“Y-Yeah.” Lewis chuckled. “I got so excited we didn’t have time to eat breakfast.”
Danica smiled. “Well why don’t I cook you and your friend’s favorite curry.”
Lewis’s eyes light up like stars, “you mean, your sweet n’ sour curry?” He asked.
Danica nodded. “I’ll get it cooking for you guys.”
“Great! Thanks Mom!” Lewis exclaimed.
Danica smiled and walked to the kitchen with Yamper and Lillipup in tow. Lewis was excited to eat his mom’s cooking, something he missed since he left.
“What’s Sweet n’ Sour curry?” Wiatt asked.
“A secret family recipe, darling,” Lewis answered. “It’s a curry dish where my mom uses half sweet berries and half sour berries mixed into the curry and,” he paused before putting his hand on Wiatt’s shoulder. “I’ll let you try it for yourself.”
Wiatt smiled excitedly to try Lewis’s family curry. From how Lewis was explaining it, it sounded pretty good.
Danica came back in with a nervous smile on her face. “Uh…sweetie?” She spoke up. “I have a problem.”
Lewis groaned and looked down, “let me guess, you forgot the ingredients?” He asked.
“Oh, I have the ingredients,” Danica answered. “I just don’t have the berries for the curry.”
“Great.” Lewis sighed.
Danica gave a small smile, “Lewis, why don’t you and your friends collect berries in the Wild Area for the curry?”
“W-What?!” Lewis asked, shocked.
“Hey, don’t worry Lewis,” Sara spoke up. “You said it was okay, we can explore the Wild Area while we collect the berries.”
Lewis got nervous until Wiatt put his hands on his shoulders. Lewis looked up slightly blushing at his friend. “Come on Lewis, it could be fun!”
“Eevee! Vee!” Oddity exclaimed.
Lewis gave a nervous smile and nodded. “Alright, guess we’ll go.”
“Alright! Yes!” Sara and Wiatt cheered.
“Eevee!” Oddity cheered.
Danica smiled and dug into her pocket for the recipe. She found it and handed it to her son. Lewis unfolded the recipe and saw what the curry needed:
Two Pecha Berries, Two Oran Berries, Two Tomato Berries, Two Leppa Berries, and Two Sitrus Berries.
“Okay! I got it memorized.” Lewis said, putting the recipe in his pocket.
“Goodluck, my Starlight!” Danica replied, hugging her son tight.
Lewis groaned as his friends chuckled again at his nickname.
Outside the house, Scorbunny overheard everything and smirked. He let out an evil chuckle as he went to set up his plans
Lewis and his friends went to the Wild Area. Sara sent out her Skiddo and Piplup to help with finding the berries for the curry.
“Alright, here are the ingredients right here,” Lewis said, showing his friends the berries needed for the curry. “Now the berries are found in berry trees scattered around the Wild Area.” He then grabbed his Rotom Phone and sent his friends a photo of a berry tree.
Once Wiatt, Oliver, and Sara’s Rotom Phones beeped as they grabbed it and looked at the photos of what the berry trees looked like.
“How about we split into teams? Oddity and Skiddo can be one team, Piplup and Sprigatito can be one, Lewis and I can be a team, and Oliver and Sara are another.” Wiatt explained.
Lewis smiled hearing he’d be partnered with Wiatt,  Sara glared and crossed her arms.
“Wait? Who said you and Lewis should be a team?” Sara asked.
“I did? I planned the teams.” Wiatt replied, crossing his arms and facing Sara.
Sara crossed her arms as well, “well if anyone is doing team planning it’s me, and I think I’ll do better matching teams then you.”
Wiatt glared at the girl, growling a little bit.
“Besides, why do you want to be partnered with Lewis?” Sara asked.
Wiatt’s eyes widened as he blushed looking at Lewis who was confused. “Uh…I just want to spend time with him.” He lied.
Sara blinked confused, she noticed Wiatt was blushing but didn’t think much of it.
“How about the Pokémon being one team, and the four of us could be a team?” Lewis suggested.
Sara and Wiatt looked at each other, and the blush faded from Wiatt’s cheeks.
“I guess that’s fine.” Sara sighed.
“I agree,” Wiatt added.
“Splendid!” Lewis beamed. He turned to Sprigatito and Piplup. “Now darlings once you and the others have found the berries needed, signal us using Leafage and Bubble Beam, okay?”
“Meow!” Sprigatito replied.
“Piplup! Pip!” Piplup replied.
Skiddo heard rustling in the bushes and turned around. She glared as she walked over to the bushes to check out what was over there. Sara took notice of her Pokémon walking off and called out to her.
“Skiddo! Where are you going?”
Skiddo bleats while she points at the bushes with her hooves telling her trainer that she heard something in the bushes. Sara glanced at the bushes and went over to look only to see nothing.
“Skiddo. I don’t see anything.” Sara reassured her. She walked back to the group, but not before petting her Pokémon on the head.
Skiddo knew she heard something. She glanced over at the bushes again and glared.
“Eevee?” Oddity asked, walking over to the Mount Pokémon.
Skiddo snapped out of her thoughts and bleated in reply that she’s okay. She then ushered the Evolution Pokemon to help find berries for their lunch.
The group split up to find the ingredients. Once they were gone, Scorbunny appeared out of the bushes, snickering as he followed the group.
The Rabbit Pokémon followed Oddity and Skiddo to a Pecha Berry tree. From the looks of it, the two Pokemon saw something rustle in the trees.
“Eevee!” Oddity called out.
Appearing from the branches was a Skwovet with some berries in its mouth.
“Eevee!” Oddity said. Using a nearby stick he drew the Pecha Berries and Leppa Berries, explaining it’s for their lunch.
“Skwo!” Skwovet replied, retreating to the trees and throwing some Pecha Berries for the two Pokemon. Once that was done, Skwovet came down and told the two Pokemon where the Leppa Berries were.
“Skwo! Skwovet!” Skwovet explained, pointing at the nearby trees.
“Vee! Eevee!” Oddity replied. He and Skiddo thank the Cheeky Pokemon and leave to find Leppa Berries.
Skwovet waved goodbye seeing the duo leave to find berries.
Scorbunny snickered and ran off, hoping to get ahead of Oddity and Skiddo. He then saw an apple tree and snickered, having an idea. The Rabbit Pokémon heard Oddity and Skiddo walk by and hid behind the tree.
Scorbunny waited until the time was right, once Oddity and Skiddo were near his tree, he kicked it causing a bunch of apples to fall on top of them. The two were knocked out as Scorbunny appeared in front of them and laughed.
Skiddo was the first to awaken due to the fire-type’s laughter and growled at him. She escaped from the pile of apples and used her vines to grab him. Scorbunny froze in shock as he was pulled closer to Skiddo, who glared at them.
Scorbunny felt scared and chuckled nervously, almost telling the Mount Pokemon it was just a prank. The latter however didn’t think it was funny and proceeded to throw Scorbunny to the other side of the forest, spinning like a top.
Skiddo huffed, hoping she’d never see that fire-type Pokemon ever again. She then turned to Oddity and saw him slowly waking up, struggling to get out of the pile of apples. Skiddo bleated and used her vines to help Oddity out of the pile. She then brushed Oddity’s fur with said vines.
“Vee Eevee!” Oddity replied, thanking his friend.
Skiddo bleated in reply, happy to help her friend, and the two continued off to find Leppa Berries.
Scorbunny was still spinning around until he crashed into a tree. Scorbunny groaned as some berries landed on his head before collapsing on the ground.
Sprigatito and Piplup had been on their way to collect Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries when they saw Scorbunny on the ground. The two were in shock and ran over to the rabbit Pokémon trying to wake him up.
“Piplup Pip?” Piplup asked, hoping Scorbunny was alright,
“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito asked the same thing.
Scorbunny slowly opened his eyes and saw the two Pokemon, looking at him in concern. “Scor…” He weakly replied.
The Grass Cat Pokemon and The Penguin Pokemon were relieved seeing Scorbunny was alright. “Pip. Piplup!” Piplup exclaimed.
Scorbunny jumped up in surprise. He remembered that these two Pokemon were part of Wiatt’s group. He took a deep breath to relax and told the two Pokemon he was alright.
Sprigatito and Piplup smiled, as the Penguin Pokemon asked the fire-type about berries. “Piplup. Pip pip Piplup.”
“Scorbun?” Scorbunny asked.
“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito replied. She told Scorbunny how her trainer needed berries to make a meal, and the two were looking for Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries.
“Scor. Scorbun bun.” Scorbunny replied, promising to show the two Pokemon where the berries were. Sprigatito and Piplup’s eyes widened and sparkled, finding a Pokemon that could help them. Scorbunny ushered them to follow him. The two Pokemon followed the fire-type from behind, while the latter smirked seeing these two were easy to trick.
In a farther part of the forest, Oddity and Skiddo finally found the Leppa Berries and were finally picking them. Once they gathered enough they decided to head back to Wiatt and the others.
As they were heading back, Skiddo saw the prankster Scorbunny again with their friends. She growled and went to follow the fire-type seeing where he was going to take Sprigatito and Piplup.
“Eevee?” Oddity asked, wondering if Skiddo was okay, and decided to follow her.
Scorbunny led Sprigatito and Piplup to a bunch of trees each with many different berries on them. Their eyes widened seeing many berries including Oran and Sitrus Berries. Scorbunny found a pebble and kicked it at the tree causing some Sitrus Berries to fall off.
Sprigatito and Piplup beamed in joy seeing the berries as Scorbunny picked up some Sitrus Berries and handed them to Piplup.
“Pip Piplup.” Piplup thanked the fire type.
“Scorbunny. Score.” Scorbunny replied. The fire-type was ready to kick another pebble to a tree but smirked seeing a Vespiqueen nest and was ready to kick the pebble there.
Scorbunny bounced the pebble around with his foot before smirking and kicking the pebble towards the Vespiqueen nest.
However, Skiddo used Razor Leaf knocking the pebble out of the way, as it hit another berry tree. Scorbunny, Sprigatito and Piplup turned to Skiddo, who was fuming with anger.
“Piplup?” Piplup asked his teammate, confused.
“Meow. Meow.” Sprigatito added.
Skiddo belated as she used her vines to point at Scorbunny. She explained to her fellow Pokemon friends what Scorbunny did to her and Oddity. Piplup and Sprigatito looked shocked and turned towards the Rabbit Pokémon.
“Meow. Meow?” Sprigatito asked, wondering what her fellow grass Pokemon said was true.
Scorbunny tried to find his way out of his predicament, but he was cornered by the Mount Pokémon. The fire-type gave a nervous chuckle and walked over to Skiddo while reassuring the group this was all a prank. He put his arm around Skiddo, which made her glare at the fire-type.
The Rabbit Pokémon laughed as he nudged Skiddo, which made her angry by the second. Scorbunny then made the mistake of smacking Skiddo as he continued to laugh.
Skiddo growled and grabbed Scorbunny with her vines, launching him away, almost like how Team Rocket blasted off.
Oddity, Piplup and Sprigatito looked horrified over their friend angry at the fire-type Pokemon. “Eevee?” Oddity asked.
“Piplup Pip,” Piplup said, reminding Skiddo she took it too far.
Skiddo turned to glare at her friends causing them to huddle in fear at the grass-type’s anger. Skiddo bleats, telling the trio to follow her to find the last of the berries for Lewis and his friends. The trio followed the Mount Pokémon still in fear over their friend’s anger.
Speaking of Lewis and his friends, the group finally found Tomato Berries and were ready to head back to where they split off. However, Lewis and Sara got worried for their Pokemon as they haven’t sent out the signal.
“Think Skiddo, Piplup, and Sprigatito are alright?” Sara asked.
“I’m sure their fine, darling,” Lewis reassured her. 
Sara wasn’t convinced, but soon she heard a scream. She looked up and her eyes widened seeing Scorbunny come crashing down towards them. “Um…guys.” Sara pointed at the sky.
Wiatt, Lewis, and Oliver looked up shocked seeing Scorbunny screaming as he fell, and landed on Oliver.
“Oliver!” Wiatt, Lewis, and Sara shouted.
Oliver and Scorbunny were dizzy from the landing as Torchic danced above their heads. The two both shook it off and looked at each other in the eyes, and the two felt like it was destiny.
“Darling, are you alright?” Lewis asked.
“I’m fine,” Oliver replied, looking up at his friend rubbing his head. He then looked over at Scorbunny who rubbed his head before getting off of Oliver.
“Where did this Scorbunng come from?” Sara asked. “I never seen one fall right out of the sky.”
“Hmm…” Wiatt wondered. He grabbed his Rotom Phone and scared Scorbunny into the Pokedex.
Scorbunny, the Rabbit Pokémon. A Fire-Type.
The special pads on its feet and nose radiate tremendous heat. When it does warm ups Scorbunny can use the full extent of its power.
Scorbunny smiled proudly, twitching his ears and putting his paws at his hips. “Scorbunny. Scorbun!” He beamed.
Sara smiled, “aww, he’s so cute!” She beamed.
Scorbunny gulped and blushed as his ears went down.
The Dream Quartet chuckled. “Guess someone’s a little embarrassed being called cute.” Oliver said.
Scorbunny lifted one of his ears and glanced at Oliver, who smiled at him. “Scorbunny.” He said as he lifted his other ear.
“So where did you come from?” Oliver asked.
Scorbunny chuckled and was about to explain, but heard the sound of Skiddo growling at him. The group turned to Skiddo and saw the anger in her eyes and the fear in Oddity, Piplup, and Sprigatito’s eyes.
“Skiddo,” Sara spoke up.
Scorbunny realized he was in danger now, as he hid behind Oliver for protection.
Skiddo growled seeing Scorbunny, she bleated seeing him, ready to take him down.
“Skiddo, what’s wrong?” Sara asked.
Skiddo bleated and explained to her trainer that Scorbunny had been nothing but trouble since they all arrived in the Wild Area.
“You’re saying Scorbunny has been causing trouble?” Sara asked.
Skiddo nodded and bleated in anger. She explained to her trainer what Scorbunny did, which caused everyone to turn and face the Rabbit Pokemon. Scorbunny gave a nervous smile as he stepped back away from the group. 
“Scorbunny,” Oliver spoke up. 
Scorbunny froze in fear as he slowly glanced at Oliver.
Skiddo saw the fire-type trying to leave and growled as she was ready use Take Down on him, despite the warning from her trainer.
“Skiddo, wait!” Sara shouted.
Scorbunny got scared and quickly saw a pebble and smirked. Using his foot he kicked the pebble around a few times before the pebble caught on fire. This was Socrbunny’s way of using Ember. Scorbunny used his Ember attack on Skiddo, causing major damage thanks to her being a grass-type.
“Skiddo, no!” Sara yelled.
Skiddo fell to the ground, knocked out, and chared from the Ember attack.
“Skiddo!” Sara yelled running over to her partner.
Oliver looked down at Scorbunny with a glare. “Why did you do that?!” He yelled.
Scorbunny smirked and stuck his tongue out before running away.
Oliver felt hurt thinking Scorbunny was a sweet but kind Pokemon, not knowing it was mischievous. He tried to go after it, but stopped seeing Sara tear up over her Skiddo being defeated.
Lewis put his hand on Sara’s shoulder causing her to look up at her friend. “Darling, we have to get back to my house.” He said. “My mom can treat Skiddo.”
Sara sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes, and nodded. She grabbed Skiddo’s Pokeball and put Skiddo back in. “Let’s hurry!” Sara exclaimed.
“Right.” Her friends replied. The four and their Pokémon rushed back to Lewis’s house to get Skiddo treated.
Once seeing the Dream Quartet leave, Scorbunny showed some guilt for what he did to Skiddo. However, it shook it off and walked away continuing to kick around a pebble.

Can A Human Date A Merman Chap. 2-Back to School
Next chapter of my Mermaid AU! I’m happy you guys are enjoying this lovely fanfic! Sorry for the delay of Chapter 2 it was in my backlog for a couple of months, but its here and ready to go!
I’m also posting this the night before I go on vacation, and I’m STILL not packed yet!!
Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader.
Enjoy!
Ever since meeting Wiatt, Lewis would stop by the beach every day just to see him. From there, they share stories about their day, or in Wiatt’s case his adventures and treasure hunts. When school started for Lewis he talked about his day as well as his two best friends. 
It was like that for the next 8 years, and during those times together the two got closer, which made the merman start to have feelings for the human boy.
He didn’t want to wait any longer. Wiatt was ready to tell Lewis how he felt about him, and hopefully, he’d like him back.
By late afternoon, Lewis visited Wiatt for one of their daily visits. He looked back to make sure no one was following behind and once it was clear he kept walking till he made it to his and Wiatt’s secret meeting place.
Lewis smiled seeing Wiatt, who was waiting for him. The merman smiled, “Lewis!” He beamed as he swam closer to the shore as Lewis went over to his friend.
“Hi darling,” Lewis replied.
“I was wondering when you’ll arrive!”
“Yeah sorry,” Lewis said, rubbing the back of his head. “I had to prepare for school tomorrow.”
Wiatt sighed, “Back to school tomorrow, huh?” He asked.
Lewis nodded, “yep, so back to limited meetups again.” He sighed. Lewis sat down and took off his flip-flops and dipped his feet in the water.
The merman gave a small smile and put his hand on his human friend’s lap. “Hey if we did that for 8 years we’ll make it through,.” Wiatt said.
Lewis smiled. “Yeah.” He replied. “While I’m gone what will you be doing?”
“My treasure hunt as always, duh!” Wiatt reminded his best friend.
“Oh right,” Lewis replied, chuckling nervously.
Wiatt chuckled back before continuing. “But remember when I told you I’m in the middle of a major discovery?” 
Lewis nodded in reply remembering his merman friend.
“Well, I found the coordinates to one of the treasures I’ve been hunting for,” Wiatt said, pulling out a treasure map and laying it out for Lewis to see.
The map showed the deep ocean and in the middle of it was a blue crystal. Lewis’s eyes widened with how big the crystal was. “Darling, you're going to be hunting for a crystal?” He asked.
Wiatt chuckled. “Yep!” He replied. “I heard this crystal holds the key to what I’ve been searching for my whole life!”
Lewis chuckled. “Amazing darling!” He beamed.
Wiatt blushed and let out a chuckle. “It is!” He looked back at the map, and a frown slowly appeared on his face.
Lewis took notice of his friend’s expression. “You alright darling?” He asked.
“Yeah, just that this was something my father and grandfather had been searching for years before they disappeared and I might be able to complete their legacy,” Wiatt explained.
Lewis smiled and put his hand on the merman’s, “Wiatt you got this! I believe in you!” He exclaimed.
Wiatt’s eyes widened as he blushed. Lewis saw his friend blushing and blushed as well. “Thanks Lewis,” The merman replied
“No problem, darling.” The two glanced at each other as their blushes got brighter and warmer. The two glanced at each other and smiled. However, it was interrupted when Lewis’s mother called for him.
“Lewis! Come on sweetie, it’s almost time for dinner!” His mother called out.
“Coming!” Lewis yelled. He got up and was ready to leave, but not before he turned back to his merman friend. “Will I see you tomorrow after school?”
Wiatt nodded, “same time as before?” He asked.
“Yep.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow!” Wiatt then dived underwater and swam off. Once he was at a safe distance he saw Lewis meeting up with his mother as the two walked back home to have dinner. Wiatt smiled and dived back into the water as a determined look appeared in his face.
The following morning was the first day of school. Lewis was putting on a yellow sweater vest over a white shirt, a pair of tan pants, and light blue and white sneakers. He looked at himself in the mirror and grabbed his backpack, which had star pins as well as a heart-shaped pin that had the gay male flag colors. 
He went downstairs and put his backpack on the chair before going to the fridge and pulled out a loaf of bread and butter. Lewis took out two slices of bread and put them in the toaster and pushed the button to start warming up his toast. 
As it was cooking, Lewis went to the cabinet, pulled out a box of cereal, and went to the next cabinet to pull out a bowl. He poured the cereal into the bowl before putting the cereal back in the cabinet and then went back to the fridge to get milk to pour into his bowl of cereal.
Lewis put the milk back into the fridge, and by that point, his toast was done. He took the toast out from the toaster, forgetting it was hot, which made him quickly put it on the plate. Giving it a second to cool, Lewis grabbed the butter and spread it on the slices of toast. When he was done he put the bread and butter back in the fridge before taking his food one by one to the table and ate.
As Lewis ate, his mother came in all dressed for work. “Lewis, sweetie I got to get going. They called me into work early.” She explained.
“Alright, get there safely.,” Lewis said.
His mother kissed him on the cheek. “Your lunch is in the fridge and I called Mr. Gale to pick you up.”
“Thanks, mom, Have a good day at work.”
“Thanks, my little starlight.” Lewis’s mom said as she walked out the door, went to her car and drove off.
Lewis finished eating his breakfast and put the plate and bowl in the sink. He sat back down and pulled out his phone and decided to play a game while he passed the time. Not long after starting his game, he got a text message from his friend Oliver.
Hey! Getting a ride with Mr. Gale! We’ll see you in a few minutes.
Lewis smiled and quickly texted back:
Okay, see you soon darling.
Lewis went back to his game until he heard a horn honking. He closed the game and put his phone into his backpack, he went to grab his lunchbox, which had that famous Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night painting on it and went out the door, locking it in the process.
Mr. Eric Gale, the engineering teacher at the school, stuck his head out and waved to Lewis. “Morning Lewis!” 
“Morning Mr. Gale!” Lewis beamed.
“Lewis! Hi!” A younger boy waved, leaning over the older guy. The boy was 14 years old with brown hair with lime-green highlights and blue eyes. He wore a bright tie/dye shirt, green pants, and sneakers that had pansexual colors and lime green shoelaces. When he smiled he had braces that had green, blue and purple bands.
“Ridley! Wow, you’ve gotten taller darling.” Lewis said. 
Eric chuckled. “Yep it’s my son’s first day of high school.” He said ruffling his son’s hair.
Lewis chuckled seeing his favorite teacher’s son will now be enrolling in high school with him and his friends.
“H-Hey Lewis.” A timid voice spoke up.
Lewis looked up and smiled seeing his friend Oliver seated in the backseat. The young boy was a bit taller than Lewis, and wore a green hoodie over a purple t-shirt, blue jeans, and black and white converse. His orange hair was tied into a ponytail and he had pale blue eyes.
“Oliver!” Lewis beamed. He opened the car door and sat next to his best friend in the backseat. “How was your summer, darling?”
“G-Great. We adjusted well to living with Eric.” Oliver explained.
“That’s great!” Lewis exclaimed. 
He knew his best friend and his siblings were from a troubled home and Mr. Eric Gale decided to take them in untill things calmed down. However, in the middle of their break, Oliver’s parents just left, leaving Eric in the full care of Oliver and his siblings. No one knew why, but Oliver was fine with it.
As Eric drove the teens to school, the three boys talked about their summer vacation with Ridley explaining how he taught Oliver video games while the latter taught Ridley how to code.
“So what did you do, Lewis?” Ridley asked. “Did you hang out with your mysterious friend Wiatt?”
Lewis’s eyes widened as he rubbed the back of his head. He did talk about Wiatt to his friends, but never said he was a mermaid, rather a kid who visits town every so often as he lives further away from here. “Uh…we talked and hung out, yes, but that’s it.” He replied.
Oliver sighed. “You know from what you’ve told me and Sara about Wiatt, we never got to meet him.”
“I know.” Lewis sighed in reply. “We just haven’t found the right time to have you two meet him.”
The truth, however, was Lewis was nervous telling his friends about Wiatt being a mermaid. He’s read stories, that revealing you’re a mermaid can have consequences, like a tsunami could wipe out the whole town or he and Wiatt would have their memories erased, which horrified Lewis. The worst being is that another mermaid would find out and get him killed.
It sounded ridiculous, but Lewis wanted to take precautions about revealing Wiatt to his friends. He knew that out of all those three scenarios happening, one would be on his other best friend, Sara, who wasn’t a big fan of the ocean.
“Well,” Oliver spoke up, snapping Lewis out of his thoughts. “I hope we get to meet him one day, he sounds pretty cool.”
Lewis blushed a bit, “he is.”
“Ooooh, someone has a crush.” Ridley teased, turning to the two boys in the backseat.
Lewis’s face turned bright red as he stuttered over Ridley calling him out on his crush. “I-It’s not a crush darling! Wiatt and I are just friends!” He exclaimed.
“Sure…” Ridley replied.
Eric chuckled, and gently pulled his son to turn him around. “Alright, enough Riddles.” He said. Ridley chuckled but kept the smirk on his face.
Soon, the four arrived at their high school, and Ridley, Oliver, and Lewis got out of the car. “I’ll be back, gotta drive Carly, and Oliver’s siblings to school,” Eric said.
“Okay! See you later Dad!” Ridley beamed.
Eric smiled and drove off as the three boys were about to walk into the entrance of their high school, but just as they were about to enter, a pink blur tackled Lewis and Oliver.
“Hey, you two!” A female voice beamed.
The girl had brown hair tied into a bun with her bangs highlighted pink, and had old rose colored eyes. She wore a pink shirt, a light pink skirt, and white sandals. 
“Sara!” Lewis and Oliver beamed.
Sara let go of her friends and smiled, “like my hair?” She asked. “I got my caretaker to do it for me.”
“It’s beautiful, darling.” Lewis answered.
“Y-Yeah. When you said you wanted to do something new with your hair I thought you were going to fully dye it or cut it short.” Oliver explained.
“Well…” Sara started. “That’s what I wanted to do, was going for a pink and purple hair, but Celio suggested I start off small, so I did pink highlights on my bangs, and Celio cut my hair a bit and tied it up into a bun.”
“Well, it looks amazing Sara!” Oliver exclaimed.
Sara smiled glad her friends liked her new look.
“I think the pink streak looks like you put strawberry syrup in your hair! And I mean it in a good way!” Ridley exclaimed.
Sara gave a small smile seeing her teacher’s son had joined her friends. “Hi, Ridley.” She said.
“It’s nice to see you too Sara!” Ridley exclaimed. “Man is high school going to be great! We’re going to have a lot of fun together!”
“It sure will be darling!” Lewis beamed. “Now let’s get inside, pick up our schedules and our lockers.”
“Sure!” Ridley beamed. “I’m so excited getting my first high school locker!” The freshman kept talking about how much fun high school was going to be with his three friends.
After getting their schedules and going to their lockers, the trio opened their lockers and put their stuff inside. “So how was the rest of your summer?” Sara asked as she put photos of her and her friends into her locker.
“Mine was good. My siblings and I adjusted well living with Eric.” Oliver said.
Sara smiled seeing her best friend was going to be okay. She then turned to Lewis who was putting a binder for his afternoon classes away. “Lewis, what did you do the rest of summer?” She asked.
Lewis sighed. “Spending time with Wiatt as always.” He said.
This caused the girl to frown and glare. “You know since you “met” him,” Sara said, giving quotes using her hands, “we haven’t seen him.”
“I know, darling.” Lewis replied, putting his backpack away. “But, Wiatt lives far away from here, so he can’t stay too long.”
“How far does he live from here?” Sara asked. “From my knowledge, the beach is all there is. The forest that doesn’t make it to the next town, and that’s like almost 3 hours away from here.”
Lewis chuckled nervously, he never knew Sara would ask that question. The young boy had to think of an answer, but he was saved by the bell, literally, “Oh that’s the bell, c-come on darlings we have to get to our first-period class.” He continued to chuckle nervously as he walked to their first class.
Sara glared and crossed her arms, “he’s hiding something.”
“Yeah, he has a crush on Wiatt,” Oliver added.
Sara’s eyes widened as she turned to her best friend, over his conclusion to why Lewis was hiding Wiatt from them.
Oliver looked at his friend confused as to why she looked at him like that. “I won’t say it in front of him, but he shows the signs.” He reassured his friend. Oliver then went to class with Sara sighing and following her friend behind.
When class started for the day, the teacher went through the basics of what they’d be learning for the first semester. During the rant, Sara rolled her eyes as it was the same lecture every teacher would share with the class on the first day. She then glanced over at Lewis and saw he was drawing ocean life on his notebook pages.
She knew her best friend loved to draw in his notebook, but it was usually his characters or stars, this was the first time ocean life was drawn in his notebook. Sara looked up at Oliver, who glanced over at his friend pointing at their other friend. Oliver looked and saw Lewis’s doodles, but mouthed, “so?” like drawing was new to Lewis.
“So?” Sara mouthed back.
Oliver shrugged and went back to face the teacher. Sara sighed and also faced the teacher as well.
Despite all this, the rest of the school day was normal for the trio. Sara was able to loosen up, and the three friends were able to talk about the rest of their summer.
By lunch, the trio sat at their usual spot in the lunchroom, until Ridley came by and sat with them. “Hi, guys!” He beamed.
“Hi, Ridley.” Oliver replied.
“How’s high school darling?” Lewis asked.
“Great!” Ridley exclaimed. “Haven’t made friends yet…” his voice trailed off. Lewis frowned, feeling bad for the boy. The freshman saw his friend frowning, “but, I got you three!” 
“It’s only your first day darling. I’m sure you’ll make a new friend in no time.” Lewis reassured him, as he opened a container of apple slices.
Ridley smiled, “you're right!” He beamed putting his feet on the table causing everyone to turn to the group. “There’s someone out there who is willing to be friends with me, Ridley D. Gale! And that’s you three right here!”
“Hey, put your feet off the table!” A teacher yelled.
Ridley flinched and slowly did just that as he sat down. The kids laughed at the trio, which made Sara’s face turn red and glare at Ridley, who didn’t care he just embarrassed her and her friends and just ate his sugar cookies.
“Losers as always.”
Sara turned to see a group of four kids, smirking at her. The one who spoke was a boy with brown hair, with the tips of his hair blue, a few ear piercings, and a dark blue t-shirt with a skull in the front.
“Oh suck it, Hayden!” Sara snapped as she ate her sandwich.
After that eventful moment, the rest of the day was normal. Once school was ended, Lewis quickly packed up his things so he could go to the beach to see Wiatt. Before he could leave, Sara grabbed his shoulder stopping him in his tracks.
“Wanna come over to my place, and work on our project?” Sara asked.
“Sure, but let me go to the beach real quick,” Lewis answered.
Sara sighed. “Fine, but don’t be late.”
“I won’t.” Lewis then left school and ran to the beach.
At the beach, Wiatt came out of the water exhausted. He found the crystal he told Lewis about, but from how exhausted he was it looked like someone chased him for it.
“Wiatt!”
Wiatt looked up to see Lewis running over to him. The merman’s eyes widened as he smiled, “Lewis!” Wiatt beamed waving to his friend. He started to swim closer to shore and the two met.
“Hello darling, how was your treasure hunt?” Lewis asked.
Wiatt showed the crystal, which made Lewis gasp in excitement. “It’s beautiful.” He commented.
“Isn’t it?” Wiatt said looking at it. “I got away from him the second I grabbed it.”
“Got away from who, darling?”
“Uh…just some shark.” Wiatt lied. Not wanting to go into details, the merman changed the question. “A-Anyways how was school?”
“O-Oh,” Lewis replied. Wiatt always told stories of all his adventures and treasure hunts with every livid detail. This weirded Lewis out, but he figured Wiatt would tell him later. “Well school was fine, you know my favorite professor I talk about?”
Wiatt nodded, “Mr. Eric Gale, correct?”
“Correct! His son started his first day of high school, and as usual, Sara and Oliver are curious about you.” Lewis explained.
Wiatt sighed, “wish I could meet them.”
“One darling. I just need to know how since well…” Lewis paused to point at Wiatt being a mermaid.
Wiatt looked at his tail and back at his friend and nodded. “Understandable.” He replied.
Lewis nodded glad his friend understood. “Thank you.” He then took off his shoes and dipped his feet in the water, letting out a sigh with how cool the water was.
Wiatt smiled and fiddled with his fingers, wanting to ask his friend something. “H-Hey Lewis. Could I ask you something?”
“What is it darling?” Lewis asked.
“You like me, right?”
Lewis chuckled. “What kind of question is that darling?” 
“Well…I…like you…like, like you.” Wiatt rephrased his question.
Lewis felt a slight blush wondering where this is going, “are you saying you have a crush on me?”
Wiatt blushed. “Y-yeah. I have for a while.” He said. “I wanted to ask you out on a date, this Friday.”
“Y-Your asking me on a date?”
Wiatt chuckled, “y-yeah.”
Lewis thought about it for a second, “could humans date merfolk?” He asked.
“I don’t know, but,” Wiatt paused as he got up closer to Lewis’s face and kissed him on the cheek. Lewis’s face turned red as he glanced at his merman friend, “I’m willing to try.”
“S-Sure.” Lewis stuttered. “S-So Friday?”
“Friday,” Wiatt replied before swimming off.
Once he was gone, Lewis sighed as he fell into the water. “He likes me. He likes me!” He beamed.
