Date to The Dance
Pairing: Calvin Maxwell x Male Reader
Genre: Fluff
Y/n stood at the top of a ladder as he fixed the sign hanging over the cafeteria of Summer Cove High. He and his friend, Leah, had agreed to help Hayley organise the annual Summer Cove High Senior Dance. “So…” Leah excitedly started as Y/n climbed down the ladder. “Who are you taking to the dance tonight?” she eagerly asked. “My TV. And you wanna know what I’m wearing? My couch.” Y/n laughed which stopped quickly once he noticed the serious face that crossed Leah’s face.
“I’m not going because I have nothing to wear and I have no one to go with.” Y/n answered, as they walked over to the food truck to order lunch. “You can’t not go to our senior dance. It’s an important part of any high school experience.” Leah exaggerated.
“Did you just use a double-negative?”
“Don’t change the subject.”
“Hey guys! I just wanted to say great job on the sign.” Hayley complimented, joining the duo that had just reached the front of the line.
“Thank you, Hayley. Do you mind convincing my friend here how he will forever regret skipping our Senior Dance tonight?” Leah snidely asked, giving Y/n a cheeky look who returned the look with a glare. “You don’t actually plan on skipping, do you?” Hayley asked, shifting her gaze to Y/n. “Well, I have no date and no suit, and the dance is less than 7 hours.” Y/n explained as he got his lunch and moved to sit at a table.
“We can go shopping after school for a suit.” Hayley suggested.
“And for a date, you could just ask Calvin.” Leah smirked causing Y/n to roll his eyes and Hayley’s face to twist in confusion.
“Why Calvin?” she asked curiously. “It doesn’t matter.” Y/n answered shortly. “Y/n has a crush on him.” Leah revealed, getting a weak punch from her friend. “You should definitely ask him.” Hayley excitedly agreed, knowing something that the duo didn’t. “How about this, we’ll find a suit after school and then we’ll figure the date thing out later?” Y/n proposed to the two girls.
Y/n, Leah, Hayley and her friends were now wandering around town looking for dress shops. Y/n would mainly talk to Leah or Hayley while occasionally sneaking glances at the dirty blonde boy. “You know instead of looking him, you could just talk to him.” Leah whispered, catching Y/n’s glances. The boy rolled his eyes before he saw a suit in the window display of a shop and walked towards it, admiring the suit. “That would look amazing on you.” A voice complimented capturing Y/n’s attention, where next to him stood Calvin.
“Really?” Y/n curiously asked, unable to keep the small smile from forming on his face. Suddenly, Kudabots were beamed down from the sky landing on the street causing panic across the street. Y/n felt arms wrap around him before being pulled to the ground dodging a energy beam that had been directed to them. Y/n connected eyes with his protector, Calvin, as they moved to hide behind a car. “Y/n, take Leah and get to safety. I need to find my friends.” Calvin instructed, while cupping Y/n’s face, looking him in the eyes. Y/n nervously nodded his head as he turned to see Leah hiding behind a car.
The duo escaped the danger-filled area heading toward Leah’s home to fetch her things before moving to Y/n’s home to get ready. Upon entering his room, they noticed a suit with a note sitting on the bed. Y/n picked up the note and read it: Be my date for the dance tonight? – Calvin. Y/n took the suit out of its cover and noticed it was the one he was admiring earlier. He and Leah had gotten themselves ready before leaving for the dance as Leah’s date had picked them up.
They arrived at the dance as they admired their cafeteria that had been decorated for the dance. Y/n felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see Calvin in a suit, with a single rose in his hand. “Hi.” Y/n greeted, with a smile. “Hi.” Calvin greeted back as he handed Y/n the rose. “So, about your offer? I would love to be your date.” Y/n accepted, as Calvin took his hand and they moved to the dance floor where they spent most of their night.
Slowly, the dance was coming to an end as Y/n had his head on Calvin’s chest and his hands in Calvin’s swaying to slow song that was playing. “There is a something I want to show you.” Calvin whispered to his date, enjoying the position they were in. Once the dance had come to an end, Calvin drove Y/n to a secluded area near the ribbon tree. They got out the car and sat on the hood of the car. “I found this place awhile ago when my friends and I saved the tree.” Calvin said as he wrapped his arm around Y/n.
“It’s beautiful, Calvin.” Y/n whispered as he admired the stars twinkling in the night sky, the sound of nature, and the moon. “It is but my view is better.” Calvin agreed, causing Y/n to look at him to notice that Calvin was looking at him causing him to blush. Their eyes connected before Calvin leaned in and pressed a sweet kiss on Y/n’s lips who kissed back. They spent the rest of the night gazing at the stars, in each other’s arms.

Sandlot love
A/N: Y/B/F/N=Your Best Friends Name and Y/BF/B/N=Your Best Friends Brothers Name.
It wasn't a lie that you were the shyest girl in the school. That's why Levi liked you so much. When Levi asked you out you asked him 'why?'. He said 'Because you're cute and you like to stay away from the crowd.' Obviously you said yes, at first you thought it was a joke but Levi turned out to be really sweet and not full of himself like most musicians.
After your third date with the gold ranger, he asked you to officially be his girlfriend, and to prove he was being serious he told you he was the gold ranger. To say you were shocked was and understatement but you said yes anyway. You knew what you were getting yourself when you did, but you loved Levi to the point you would to die for him.
Now, you don't like meeting new people and socialising and Levi new that but he wanted you to meet his friends and officially say "Guys, this is my girlfriend, Y/N." But you already figured out that he's friends were the other five rangers. Hayley was so exited that the four of you could go on double dates. The only thing that Levi had on his list was for you to meet his dad.
So here you are, at his house to meet his dad. You were really nerves. Levi knew what you thinking so he took your hand in his and said,
"My dad is a nice guy. He's so chill, like you. He'll love you. Stop worrying, princess."
"It's not that, it's just...remember when you meet my friends?" You replied.
"The Sandlot shenanigan? Yeah. What about it?"
"Well, what if I invited your dad to the Sandlot tomorrow?"
"Babe, are you saying you want my dad to A; Meet your friends, B: Be involved with the don't jump over the fence thing, and C: Watch us being all lovey dovey?"
"Well?"
"If you want to, then hell yeah. You ready to go inside now?"
"Yeah."
Let's just say you and Dan had a lot in common. You told him about the Sandlot and invited him. He said,
"If work ends early, I'll be there."
The next day, after school you and the rangers went to the Sandlot. You started playing the game, picking up where you left off the day before. Dan arrived when you were up to bat. You looked at Your best friends brother and gave him the signal to do the joke.
"This is like déjà vu." You said.
"What's like déjà vu?" Y/B/F/N responed.
"This is like déjà vu."
"What's like déjà vu?" Y/B/F/N laughed.
"Got ya."
She got back into her position. Her brother looked at you and said,
"I'm just gonna go nice and easy on ya at first, okay?"
"You know what, Y/BF/B/N? That's always been your problem. You're too nice." You stated.
"Excuse me?" He relpied.
"You're excused." You smirked.
"Y/N, wait! Before you bat-"
Levi ran up to you and put his Cowboy hat on your head. You shook your head at his goofiness.
"That's cute."
He chuckled and gave you a good luck kiss. He whispered,
"Go get 'em, tigger."
He ran back to the dug out and stopped when he felt the Rangers and Dan stair at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing!" They yelled in unision.
"Yeah, okay. Nothing." He nodded and sat down. Brody got his phone out and everyone repeated the Red Ranger. They texted in the group chat that doesn't have Levi in it.
Brody: They are so cute together!
Hayley: Couple goals.
Calvin: What about us?! Nobody's cuter then us!
Sarah: They cuter then you and Hayley. Even she can agree.
Preston: Yeah, he literally called a time out, ran up to her, gave her his hat and gave her a good luck kiss.
Dan: Y/N's a good kid. She's nice and she makes Levi happy. That's all I want for him.
Brody: You're right dad, I haven't seen him this happy since...well, since he became the gold ranger.
Hayley: Guys! I know there cute and all but let's just watch the game.
All: Sorry!
Everyone has left the chat.
It was getting late so you decided to go home. You all said your goodbyes and left the Sandlot. Dan gave you a lift. You got out of the car and said 'thank you.' But before you could even go in your own house, Levi grabbed your hand which caused you to spin around. You smiled at him and he kissed you softly. You pulled away and said goodnight. Levi went back to the car and saw the look on his brothers face.
"Lover boy!" Brody grinned at Levi. As a response to his brothers remark, Levi playfully pushed Brody as he exclaimed,
"Shut up!"
You're friends where starting to get to him. As the gold ranger his duty is to protect the earth, but he's duty as himself is to protect you.

'ANNIVERSARY'
gif belongs to me
There was two dates Calvin never thought he would forget: your birthday and your anniversary. He had a lot of distractions more and more these days as the team tried to thwart Madam Odius's plans and his spare time was spent on studying.
Three years was an important anniversary this year as there had been a series of arguments and moments when he believed his secret identity was coming between you. You knew him more than anyone so when he started having 'emergencies' you were suspicious and after you tearily asked if he was seeing someone else, Calvin told you the truth. And your relationship remained strong ever since.
It was Preston who reminded him of your anniversary and Sarah had pitched ideas for a great but last minute present while Calvin recalled your interaction that morning, as you never mentioned the three year anniversary but perhaps you had expected him to bring it up first. And when he didn't you were upset that he hadn't remembered.
The truth was that morning you had gotten off to a bad start and your mind was focused on the upcoming test you had found on a post-it note from weeks before that was intended to be a reminder but you had lost the post-it and now you were trying to soak in as much information on Algebra as you could.
You were studying in your bedroom when Calvin entered, and you sent him a small smile as you looked up from your textbook. "Hey." You greeted.
He kissed you softly before sitting beside you, taking the present from his backpack.
You unwrapped the gift, finding a calendar with photographs from the start of your relationship to a photo taken a month ago.
"I know it isn't much but -"
You smiled, meeting his anxious gaze. " I love it. Thank you."
Calvin sent you a smile, "Happy third anniversary."
And just like that you remembered.
"Oh no." You dropped your head into your hands.
"What is it?"
"I completely forgot. I've been so focused on the test that I forgot our anniversary. I didn't buy you a present."
Calvin chuckled, finding amusement in the situation as he was the forgetful one. You placed your hands on his cheeks, placing multiple kisses on his lips as you apologized. "I am so so sorry."
"It's okay." He smiled, placing a hand on your arm.
"I love you so much. And I love the calendar."
He lifted a hand to the nape of your neck, "I love you too."
You smiled at him for a moment before meeting him halfway in a tender kiss. You wrapped your arms around his neck when you pulled away, and Calvin buried his head on your shoulder, a smile on his lips.

Fanfic titles Prompt: “We both know I wrecked your car” + Calvin/Preston ninja steel~
Title: Dude, I Wrecked Your Car
Rating: T
Relationships: CalPresto; Victor Vincent/Monty; implied Hayley Foster/Sarah Thompson.
Characters: Preston Tien; Calvin Maxwell; Hayley Foster; Dane Romera; Mick; Victor Vincent; Monty.
Additional Tags: Meet-Cute?; Alternative Universe - Different First Meeting; This is Fluffy and Stupid; They're Both Himbos, Your Honor; Bisexual Calvin Maxwell; Gay Preston Tien; Coffee Shop AU; Stripper AU.
Summary:
Preston did not, in fact, know that the guy that was technically his neighbor (living right across the alley in the redbrick apartment complex adjacent to the grey stone apartment complex that Preston liked to imagine weren't very different internally from one another; though he suspected the redbrick had better plumbing while the grey had better air flow for summer and winter) had wrecked his car.
"...But you don't drive," was the first thing the bar and birthday booked magician by night, coffee barista by day, managed to say to the shame faced blond that looked like he was about to cry.
The other waved both hands at the damage done to Preston's cobalt 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab, illustrating the admittedly large dent in the passenger side door, as well as the splintering of the wood panel flatbed that had apparently been the victim of the truck rolling back into an adjacent steel light pole, "And this is why!"

MASTERLIST
PREVIOUS - CHAPTER FIVE - NEXT
You weren't sure what time it was when you woke up, but the beams of golden sunlight were already seeping through the curtains and, although quiet, you could hear some kind of commotion going on downstairs. The bed was amazing. It was so soft and warm, and enormous, so you were able to stretch your arms and legs out like a starfish. You couldn't help but smile when you remembered the night before; the restaurant, the signing of the contract and the amazing sex. You pursed your lips together and closed your eyes, hoping to get a few more hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Just then, you heard a crash and a yell and your eyes shot open. "Get out!" You heard Maxwell cry and you rubbed your eyes, feeling a confused but tired look wash over your face.
Another voice followed his; feminine but just as angered. It was incoherent to you, probably because it was mazed in between the many walls and rooms of his penthouse. You yawned and stumbled out of bed, still in your little black dress from the night before. You padded over to the mirror and checked your appearance. You hadn't been washed so your makeup was smudged and your hair was knotty. You didn't know who was downstairs but you didn't want to meet them in that dress. You walked into your en suite bathroom and splashed warm water over your face, taking some soap and begging to get washed. You considered getting a shower but you weren't exactly sure what the protocol right now was.
If he was your boyfriend, sure. You'd happily take a shower in his home. But then again, you'd also be sharing a bed with him. You found it difficult to understand why he didn't want to sleep with you after sex but you managed to brush of the feeling. It was your first time and maybe he wasn't used to the company. Nevertheless, it hurt. You wished it didn't hurt. You were his sugar baby and there was essentially no string attached; at least not ones of value and importance like of what a relationship might have.
You looked at yourself in the mirror, sighing at the way the dress slouched over your tired body in the morning. You ached to change into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Nevertheless Maxwell Lord was a bachelor and it would be incredibly unlikely to find any clothes of your size just lying about in his penthouse.
You quietly left the guest bedroom, walking down the hallway. You remembered that he had told you his own bedroom was just two doors down. You stood before the closed door and knocked on it gently, but there was no answer. You slowly and carefully opened it, without making a sound, and tiptoed in. It was empty, his bed was unmade, his clothes were scattered untididly on the floor. Okay… so he wasn't in his bedroom. You went to leave but something stopped you. When would you ever find yourself in Maxwell Lord's bedroom? Instead, you took a further step inside, your feet sinking into the plush carpet, a shut the door behind you.
His bedroom was magnificent— twice the size of the guest bedroom you had stayed in. You didn't know how it was possible but his bed was even bigger than yours. He had his own balcony, and other doors leading elsewhere into the penthouse. There were dressers and bookshelves embellished in gold and mirrors that fit the whole wall, although you were beginning to expect nothing less than extravagant from Maxwell Lord.
Nosily, you walked through his room, opening the two doors that were opposite you. One led into an en suite bathroom, and the other led into a walk in closet. You were quick to shut the bathroom door, not really having any interest in scoping out a rich man's bathroom, but you found yourself completely stunned when you pondered into the walk in closet. You smiled, sure you'd be able to find something in here to change into. By the looks of it, he had thousands of items of clothes. You took a closer look and noticed they had all been ordered by the name of the designer. You chuckled, shaking your head, thinking it was typical of a man like Max. You were almost certain you could find some kind of comfortable outfit to change into. You two had slept together— you doubted that he would care that you had stolen some of his clothes. You wondered how many other women had worse his clothes and your stomach churned at the thought.
You spent a long ten minutes raking through his closet. It couldn't be possible. Did this man seriously own no casual clothes? At this point, you just wanted to see Maxwell Lord in some sweats and a hoodie. You wanted to laugh, imagining the CEO dressed in such a way. He mustn't have known what comfort is. You pulled out an inconspicuous white shirt, which he had thousands of, and held it against your body in the mirror. Sliding off your dress, you put on his shirt, realising you were completely naked underneath. You grimaced, remembering that your panties were probably still in the conference room, absolutely ruined from your arousal. Luckily, the shirt hung down to just above your knees. Still, you felt uncomfortable meeting whoever was with Maxwell wearing no underwear. What were you going to do?
You decided to find out if Maxwell was more of a boxers or briefs type guy. You went through his drawers and picked out a pair of soft Calvin's, pulling them up your legs. You couldn't help but laugh when you saw yourself in the mirror. Talk about overstepping. Nevertheless you shook your head and with a walk of confidence, you padded into the kitchen.
"The president thinks you're going to be there, Maxwell. Are you crazy? You are not going to stand-up the president of our great country. It would embarrass me, but most of all it would embarrass your father. He'd be turning in his grave if he knew you planned on making a fool out of his business like that." A woman with tight blonde curls and a ruby red frown shouted. You froze at the door frame when you overheard the conversation.
Maxwell and the older lady turned to face you in unison. The lady looked horrified when she saw you, her hand clutching her heart dramatically. Maxwell opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish, his brown eyes wide as he took in your appearance. He thought you looked amazing, despite your tired eyes and messy hair. The way you looked in his shirt made him want to ravish you in that very moment. His heart was doing loopdaloops, racing wildly. He was softening for you.
"Oh-" you stammered out, raising both of your hands defensively. "I'm sorry, am I overstepping?" you asked, biting your lip.
"Overstepping into my son's closet, it looks like." Snarled the lady who you now identified as Maxwell's mother. You knew you recognised her from somewhere. It must've been from the painting in his office when you had first met him. "Maxwell, who on God's great planet is this whore you've picked up?" she spat, disgusted.
You knotted your eyebrows together and folded your arms across your chest. "What did you just call me?" you gritted out furiously.
When Maxwell sensed your anger he panicked and stood up. He knew better not to fight with his mother over her ingrained misogyny, but you didn't. "Ladies please." he said, trying to remain as calm as possible. He shot you an apologetic look. "Come sit with me, join me for breakfast." Maxwell pulled out the seat next to him and ushered you over. You sighed in defeat and sat next to him.
"Well?" Maxwell's mother found her hand on her hip as she stared you out.
"Well what?" Maxwell sighed, taking a sip of his black coffee and closing his newspaper.
"Who is she?" yelled his mother.
"Remember when you told me to stop fucking my assistants? Because they'd give me a lawsuit or whatever? Well, I hired someone. We went through a legal contract last night so she's not going to sue me, and then I let her stay the night."
Maxwell Lord's mother looked at you like you had grown a second head. "What's going on exactly?" you leaned into Maxwell and whispered in his ear.
"Will talk about it later." he promised you.
Just then, Maxwell Lord's mother screamed. You stiffened up and turned to Maxwell, who looked like he was used to it. How could he be used to that screaming crazy bitch standing in his penthouse talking to him like that? You wanted to knock the pearl earrings out of her lobes. But hitting your boss’s mother might cost you your job.
"Don't get any foolish ideas Maxwell, she's not going to the Christmas gala!" his mother reprimanded with a warning tone. "Reagan's daughter, Margaret, has agreed to have drinks with you! Think about what a relationship with her could do for your company."
Maxwell scowled. "I have no interest in Margaret."
"Do you have interest in that little slut? Who steals your clothes and helps herself to your waffles?" You froze up, slowly removing your fingers from Maxwell's breakfast plate.
"I don't care if she eats my waffles! Please mother, just leave us alone. See yourself out." Maxwell sighed and you tried to stifle a laugh. You popped a blueberry in your mouth and she raised an eyebrow when she screamed again, stomping her heels and storming out of the apartment, slamming the door behind her.
You burst out into laughter. You couldn't hold it back anymore. Maxwell's head snapped in your direction and he shot you a confused glance. You pulled his plate and took his knife and fork before eating his waffles.
"Hey that's my breakfast!" he pointed his finger and you laughed harder. He couldn't help but smile. A genuine smile that was so rarely seen on Maxwell Lord.
"I thought you said you didn't mind if I ate your waffles," you said in between breaths of laughter. He rolled his eyes as you centred the plate, and both of you began to eat from it. "Your mother is batshit crazy." you told the businessman, licking the syrup from your lips.
"Yeah, I know," Maxwell ran a hand through his hair. "This is why I never invite girls to stay the night. She'll come over in the morning and scare them away."
"Well, it takes a lot to scare me." you smiled and his own smile only grew when he saw the way your eyes sparkled like diamonds.
In the silence, Maxwell wanted to tell you how beautiful you looked. He thought you couldn't look any more beautiful than you did last night in the black dress, but there was something so angelic about seeing you with no makeup on and wearing one of his shirts. He cleared his throat, opting against the gesture. There was no need for him to play up an unnecessary romance in this arrangement. He shook away his feelings and took another sip of his coffee.
"We're going shopping today." he told you matter of factly.
"We are?" you asked. "What for?"
"The gala." he flicked to the next page of his newspaper.
"Your mother made it quite clear I wasn't invited." you sighed.
Maxwell turned to you and placed a hand on your thigh. "Darling," he said, and your heart done an excited flip. "It's my gala. I want you by my side." he rubbed comforting circles into your skin before sliding his hand further up. He knotted his eyebrows together when his hands came up to his boxer shorts. He lifted the hem up of your shirt and saw you were wearing his Calvin's. His eyes widened.
"Oh- I can explain-" you chuckled awkwardly.
Maxwell shook his head and said your name, his voice stern. "It's fine, but I'm going to have to ask that you don't go into my bedroom without my permission."
You paused, feeling your cheeks heat up with embarrassment. It felt like he was hiding something from you. You sighed. Even if he was, it shouldn't matter to you. You were just an arrangement to him. The words stung as you recalled what he had said to you last night. A business deal.
"Okay." you replied, pushing the plate of breakfast away and standing up.
"Good girl." Maxwell smirked and you felt that familiar fire set alight in your stomach.

Ahoy there (I return)! I was wondering if you could make one for the names Robin/Ruben, James, Maxwell, and Calvin? He/him please :) I like playing the guitar, I draw sometimes, and I think small bugs are cool as. Thanks, in advance!
Hi again Robin!
Robin is trying out a few different names, so I hope I can help him out with this answer! I think Robin’s name ideas are cool. I know choosing a name is tough, but I’m sure whatever Robin chooses will be good.
Ruben is a musician, which is really cool. He plays the guitar. I wonder how long Ruben has been playing guitar. I would love to hear him play some time. Ruben is also an artist and likes to draw. I bet his drawings are awesome.
James is a musician and artist. He plays guitar and draws. I love drawing too, and I’d love to see his drawings some time. I wonder what James’s favorite thing to draw is, and if he likes to draw from observation or imagination.
Maxwell thinks small bugs are cool. I do too! I wonder which ones are his favorites. I like roly polies (not sure how to spell it), ladybugs, and basically anything that doesn’t bite you haha. Maxwell didn’t mention liking big bugs, which I get. Sometimes big bugs scare me! We always catch them and put them outside though. I wonder if Maxwell does too.
Calvin is a guitarist and artist. He likes to draw, and he also likes small bugs. I bet Calvin draws bugs sometimes. I’d love to see his bug drawings if he has any! Anyway I hope Calvin has a good day today and that I was able to help!
P.S. Robin asked me if the name Robin is overused, and imo, it is not overused! I have not actually met many people whose name is Robin. So if you like it, don’t let that stop you!

A Look Back at the Best Fashion Moments in Met Gala History
Mention the first Monday in May to any fashion lover and they’ll immediately know what you’re talking about. Each year, the star-studded Met Gala takes place on this date, in partnership with The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and brings with it some of the most incredible fashion looks we’ll see in the year. From larger-than-life ballgowns to radical suits, there’s no limit on self-expression on style. However, today looks a little different as this year’s Met Gala – to be themed About Time: Fashion and Duration – has been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So instead, we took a look back at the event’s archives to relive some of its most memorable moments. Ahead, see 62 of the best Met Gala looks of all time.

FNAF canon and TOTC FNAF au 1: Won't you be my Friend?
This is the AU of which the canon and TOTC FNAF stories prexist together. In other words, they are one story rather than a real collusion. "A dear of light, that's what you are." that is what Timothy's mother, Anna Whidden, use to say to him. Before...she parished. One may moarn, one may pass on, and one would be vengful. In 1982, Anna passed leaving her two children behind, Timothy Michael Whidden and Maxwell Ernest Whidden. Timothy was 8 years old, his brother was 10 in 1982. Their grandparents, their decease father's parents, were meant to keep care of them. They were under custody, but never took them in. The grandparents would only pay the bills for the house the two children sleep in, and only come to give them money for food and clothes before leaving again. It is unclear why it was this way, it could have been so many things. Timothy was always in his home, with only the company of his dear bear. A special, gold bear, a plush Fredbear. One that his mother has given him a long time ago. This bear is his only friend when it came to being home, but among other friends, he will always the best friend. Timothy had two other friends, Charles Emily and William Afton. Both boys were the same age as Timothy. Charles was a very playful boy, he loved to play games of all kinds, but he always loved to play toys with the two other boys as the favorite game. William was a smart boy, quite imaginative within a world of his own. All though William was not spry boy, due to his weight, he was never left behind by his friends. A trio of a perfect childhood friendship. That is, until 1983. The Fazbear company was rather a busy company in the 80s and 70s, having two locations and one under way as of 1983. It is owned by Fredric Cawthon, under help with co-owner Dan McFly Whidden and Tech/robotics maker Peter Calvin Whidden. However, the Whidden brothers seemed to be the true heart of Fazbear's. The main Fazbear loction, of that time, would be Fredbear's Family Diner, which is the location where the brothers mostly worked. These brothers are Timothy's lost uncles, or uncles he was never introduced too. They would only find out about Timothy until October of 1983, Peter was the one to find Timothy locked away and frightened in his workshop. That day, is when Timothy and his uncles grew as familias relatives. Maxwell was found out as well, but rather furious. Not because he was not being given any attention, but because this would mean he wasn't going to be able to control and torment his brother anymore. Maxwell wanted to always be undercontrol for his own gains, he was young. With the death of both his father and mother, he blamed Timothy since there was no one else to blame. Such young mind like his could not comprehend the fact that life takes, it always has to be someone's fault. It felt quite nice to blame someone you least favor, so that is what Maxwell did. This control lead him in wrong directions, as well as becoming a troublesome child with a group of very troublesome children. Which he did have a rather mischievous that always followed his lead. It was nearing Timothy's birthday in November of 1983, but things were very rocky. Charles was at the hospital to treat a cancer he had, and William's family were going through a rough patch of divorce and separation. Timothy was alone on the days nearing his birthday, scared and alone with only his bear. But even his bear could not stop what happened next. Maxwell, Timothy's own brother, and the children that followed Max stuffed Timothy between the jaws of the Fredbear animatronic. Thus crushing Timothy's skull. William saw it all, as he and his mother just walked in as a surprise for Timothy. They came in just a moment befor witnessing Timothy's skull being crushed. It was quite the scene, seeing a friend's relative remove him from the jaws of a robot. Witness the relative screaming and crying out in pain, as they held your dying friend in their arms. William was in shock, disbelief, he never seen such a loss nor felt it ever in his life. He never seen so much blood, nor has he seen a man in so much pain. Will was never the same after that, on the inside. After the death of his friend, he had to share it with Charles once he was out of the hospital. They both moarned, but could not do anything. Slowly and eventually, William and Charles began to drift apart. Then one day, Charles was just missing entirely on 1984. Rumor went and gone that someone took him, or killed him. But William could not share anything about Charles because of how far apart they already were. In 1985, on William's 10 th birthday, William was brought to Fazbear's second location since the first was promptly shut down due to low costumers. William was not a fan of the toy animatronics, but did not hate them. He always loved the Fazbear robots and mascots, they always striked him curious and made his mind wonder. On William's birthday, he was registered for a personal party. His mother wanted it to be a special party, so William would not feel any less due to lack of friends. William's mother would leave Will alone to not make him feel restrained in a Fazbear place, she knows how much he loves these things. He felt alone at his party at first, until a gold rabbit with a purple bow and starey purple vest came along to greet William with cake. William was overwhelmed with joy, he never seen the mascot before and it was not at all robotic. It sparked hope in William, and made him feel, truely, special. William wanted more company from this version of Bonbear (springbonnie), and so he did. The rabbit sat by his side and told William fictional stories of many sorts. Then the rabbit offered William a "breif tour" of the place. William, of course, agrees to it. It was indeed a tour, but William got to even see the original robots that were pushed out for the toys. They were withered, but William was not petrafied. He found it very interesting that they were in this state. Out of curiosity, William would try to look inside of them, which he would breifly see something he wasn't suppose to see before the rabbit stops Will. The rabbit had not a single disturbance in its tone of voice, it just simply told will that the tour is over and it is time to go home, in a playful tone. Will was then brought back safely, and after that party, Will never came back due to his family moving around. William had a rough few years of elementary and middle school, since his family kept moving. Once settled, high school was only hell. The school work was rather a breeze for Will since he is rather intelligent, but the students always bullied him due to his weight and smile. Will only smiled just to seem friendly and maybe gain friends, yet he gets punched for it and ending up with a chipped tooth. After high school, he tries to find jobs since colleges were just too costly to afford right away. Which he had factory jobs, it was enough to get by and he gets into a Technology college. He was young, but unhealthy, he was told he might become diabetic if he doesn't fix his eating habits. He gets to it, going through a keto diet until he got better, yet he lost track of eating sometimes since he has college, a factory job, and an unstudy money balance. So he was both thin and had dark eyes to match. William was tired of his old name, he is not the William he once was so he gave himself the new name of Dave Miller. He thought it would be better that way. After graduating college, Dave quit his factory job to find a better job. Despite his smile, he was not sound of mind. His tired psyche, and his mind of wonder truely became mixed. So his applications had rather strange fill-outs. At this time, Fazbear was long gone, until it started to spark back to life again. Dave finds this out rather quickly, his mother always knew he loved that place, so she was the one to give the news. However, his applications were always rejected. Years and years his applications were rejected. So long, in fact, he was there when both the official and fan websites of the Fazbear company were started. He learned and studied both websites tiredlessly, since he had nothing else to do but wait and only test out his tech skills here and there. Then... One faithful day, Dave was finally up to interview and the next he was hired. His happiest day will continue on to the happiest days. But he would be rather odd under all of this satisfaction, he knows there is something wrong that makes him believe it is something right. He is not a murder, he is strange, just compeled towards more, dark areas and cracks. Simply attracted to the mysteries, knowing full well that they may be true. Even attracted and has addmiration for the one that made his childhood wonders come to life, which somehow that one, that man, is still walking on earth and among the living.

CALVIN HARRIS & DUA LIPA - ONE KISS
[6.50]
10/10 perfect Photoshop...
Alfred Soto: Amazingly, Calvin Harris has laid down a decent house track, worthy of Dua Lipa's restraint.
[7]
Alex Clifton: '90s Eurodance came back and nobody told me! Dua Lipa sounds like she's phoning it in a little, but she works well with dancey music, so I'm not too mad about it. I've always liked Calvin Harris's work when it's sounded its most effortless rather than trying too hard to sound hip and in the moment, and he's hit on something decent here.
[6]
Maxwell Cavaseno: Given the '80s yacht vibes of his last album, my expectation (little and far between as they are) for Calvin Harris was not to go ahead and make a speed garage pastiche. Nevertheless he did, with a track that wanders between homages to "Sincere," "Gabrielle" and vintage Todd Edwards with surprising ease and features a tastefully functional Dua Lipa vocal performance. Overwhelmingly professional in the aftermath of the comparatively amateur quality of Jorja's "On My Mind," if Calvin is deciding he's going to make a novelty UK garage album to free us from England's obsession with terrible early '90s house plodding, than I will gladly pledge fealty for another year.
[9]
Ryo Miyauchi: Calvin Harris's take on UK garage flows with way more feeling than his backyard-BBQ funk of last year. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa sounds free in her relative anonymity here. Maybe the track could've used more peaks and valleys, though it shows a new potential in a new genre for both.
[6]
Katherine St Asaph: It takes someone like Dua Lipa, the most competent nonentity working, to make Calvin Harris the most vibrant, imaginative and memorable part of a track. If only industry politics could rearrange themselves so Azealia Banks could be on this instead.
[5]
Will Adams: Dua Lipa is inert as usual, and Calvin Harris's sudden pivot from the funk-pop that defined 2017 is pre-emptive (though probably wise). The groove is decent, but I'd rather turn to someone like Moon Boots to provide the lushness "One Kiss" aims for.
[5]
Julian Axelrod: I still resent Calvin Harris for finally perfecting his sound on Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, then abandoning it like a rich kid with a shiny new toy. Sure, this is sturdy, well-executed dance pop, and the trop-house horns give the hook a funhouse mirror warp. But it feels so anonymous for two stars of this stature. It's one of those rare songs that's constantly stuck in my head, but I can never remember how it goes. Maybe it's on me for expecting every Calvin Harris single to be "Slide"; maybe this is just what Calvin Harris songs sound like now.
[6]
Crystal Leww: Calvin Harris's production reminds me so much of something that Craig David would hop on, and Dua Lipa yet again turns out a sublime vocal that is doing just enough. "One Kiss" and "Nice For What" coming out the week before that blessedly nice day in Brooklyn was just a sign that summer is starting, and the bangers are starting to slap. I'm ready to put on those sparkly shorts, bust out the crop top with no jacket over it, and show the fuck out.
[8]

Imagine you want to write a story, but Brody won't let you.
"I'm writing it." You told Brody for the millionth time that day.
"We've been over this, hon." He replied.
You got up after fixing stuff under the car.
"No, you talked, I ignored." You smirked and continued, "By the way, You need a new muffler."
"I think this is a tie rod end." He said as he examined the part.
"Come on, Levi, back me up here." You looked at your husband's older brother for some help.
"Uh, no, thanks. I know better than to get involved in a debate with Y/N Y/L/N." Levi replied playfully.
"But you do know the feeling, that itch, that fire in the back of your head, the siren song of a story that has to be written. Huh?"
"Yeah, I do, I do."
You turned to face Brody and he said,
"The world is gonna want to know why Y/N Y/L/N went to space with the Red Ranger."
"Details, I'll make up a reason." You replied.
"Oh, so much for truth in journalism." He said to you with a small smile on his face.
"Says the reporter who writes about his own exploits as the Red Ranger." You then took a pause, "I was the first human to set foot on what's left of An Alien spaceship, to lay eyes on the Jewel Parts, to endure the endless, hallways of the cells, and I have to write about it." You chuckled, "One small step for Y/N Y/L/N, one giant leap for Y/N Y/L/N's career."
"Says the woman who is already the most famous, feared, and intrepid reporter on two earths," Brody replied and you rolled your eyes.
You pulled on his shirt to clean a stain off.
"And yet someone on this farm is still making 21 cents on the dollar more than me." You smiled, "And it ain't Levi, honey."
You gave him a kiss. Then said, "You two catch up. I am gonna go slam some small things really hard."
You went into the barn and started climbing up the ladder.
"Okay, just be careful on that ladder. It's really old." Brody told you, concerned about your safety.
You smirked at him, "You'll catch me."

This Moment On (Liam x MC)
A/N: So I was planning to post this before the latest chapter was released but I was hit with constant writer’s block with this fic so I’m so glad that I finished it but sad it won’t be uploaded before the ch. I love the stolen moments we get with our King and I like others was expecting a proposal so I decided to throw in one. A proposal to be dedicated to one another once everything was solved. Plus I’m posting a picture that I made envisioning my MC’s promise ring. Hope you enjoy!
Summary: An extension of the time spent in Shanghai with the two lovebirds Justice and Calvin. A secret rendezvous that’s is even more special than previous ones.
Rating: PG-13 ( A few innuendos are tossed in)
Word Count: 1,976
Riding back to the hotel in the limo Justice let the window roll down, enjoying the crisp cool air Shanghai offered. Even the chilly temperature from the wind couldn’t distract the warm sensations that are flooding through her body. She can still feel the way Calvin’s hands traced her sensitive skin, the way his lips grazed her neck, his pupils dilated and his arousal evident. Slowly closing her eyes to immerse herself in the memory. Not soon after she’s interrupted by a voice.
“Pardon me Lady Olivera, but we’ve arrived.”
Jolting forward with a slight blush painted on her cheeks.
“Oh of course! Ahem… Thank you. Have a good night.”
Exiting the vehicle she enters the hotel and heads straight to her room.
Entering her room she notices Hana and after talking for a bit decides to get ready for bed. She reluctantly heads to shower not wanting to rid herself of Calvin’s scent. As the warm water cascades down her body, she loses herself once more to what transpired earlier that evening. She can still hear his baritone voice speaking those wonderful words he said earlier.
You astonish me.”
Replaying his voice in her head makes her heart flutter.
“You are the most loyal and tenacious woman I know.”
Justice knew she fell for the King a long ago, but tonight feeling his intense gaze bore not just into her own eyes but her soul confirmed any seeds of doubt that had sprouted during the last couple weeks. Seeing the admiration and love that was reserved for her and only her it was everything she needed to know that this was real and one of a kind type of love. The love you’d read in fairy tales and fiction. The type you’d see in movies and hear from generations of myths but never expect to experience in life.
As the steam of her shower fills the bathroom and fogs the doors and the mirror she shuts off the shower and exits to sit on her bed as she tries to untangle the knots in her curly kinky hair. Sitting there and reminiscing about this adventure she knows she made the right decision by boarding that plane so long ago. Rising to get dressed she hears a knock. As a habit, she reaches for something to throw. But looking at the door she sees a note slip under the crack of the door. Dressed in her PJs now she first opens the door and cranes her neck down the hallway seeing no one in sight. Closing it back she opens the note and immediately recognizes Calvin’s handwriting.
I know that our departure is the first thing in the morning but meet me at the lake at the break of dawn. - Calvin
Smiling to herself because of his sweet gesture. Before laying down she quickly texts Maxwell to arrange a limo to pick her up around 5:00 a.m. Content with everything being handled she fell asleep thinking of her beloved.
Awaking to the beeping noise that fills her bedroom, Justice shuts off her alarm and despite being annoyed to be awoken so early, it quickly leaves as she remembers she’s going to be spending more time with Calvin. She quickly jumps out of the bed and heads to change into her outfit. Since it’s early and cold out still she decided on a burgundy off the shoulder sweater and dark washed jeans that fit her perfectly with knee-high black heeled boots and a long white trench coat.
After applying a decent amount of makeup, fluffing out her curls, and examining herself in the mirror she turns to gather her phone. Content with her look she leaves her room and puts on sunglasses and exits the hotel from the back entrance in case someone is also up as an early bird. Waiting for her is the limo and once inside she gives the driver directions to the same location she was the day before.
Once she arrived she leaves the vehicle and walks around a bit before notice and tall shadow under a beautiful tree. Grinning she walks towards him and throws her arms around his neck. Before she rises to whisper into his ear, she experiences a deja vu of her body being pressed against a tree with her arm contorted behind her back. Always one to make light of a situation Justice says.
“I forgot, stealth and you don’t mix well. Even though my arm is starting to numb I wouldn’t be in this position again under different circumstances. Preferably one without clothes.”
Realizing his mistake he quickly lets her go and apologizes profusely, a red blush spread across his neck and face.
“My apologies Justice. As you know I’m always on alert especially when I’m “alone” in case of someone where to try something.”
“It’s okay I should’ve learned the first time from the races but like I’ve mentioned before maybe I just like having you pinning me down.” she says while throwing a seductive wink his way.
Amused and feeling a rush of warm sensations flooding to his lower half he shakes his head. Playing along he moves to wrap his arms around her waist and dropping his voice deeper knowing the effects it has on her.
“I’ll make sure to keep that in mind. Anything for my Queen,” he whispers into her ear.
It takes everything in Justice’s body not to visibly shiver. Not able to contain herself much longer she leans up to kiss Calvin. Surprised by the sudden movement but welcomed to it he deepens the kiss. Pressing her closer to him as if he was trying to meld her to his own body, there tongues moving in sync. Finally coming up for air Justice speaks as Calvin focuses his attention on her neck. Leaving delicate kisses and inhaling her scent of honeysuckle and lavender.
“Not that I’m enjoying this but what brings on this impromptu early morning rendezvous.”
Lifting his head to look her in her eyes.
“You’re right I was hoping you come with me to watch the sunrise at our next location we won’t have as many opportunities alone.”
He moves to reach for a picnic basket and a blanket. He then sets it up next to tree and gestures for him to sit. Justice courtesy in a playful manner and sits. From their position they can see the beautiful waterfront they rode on less than twenty-four hours ago. Calvin sits next to her and hands her a thermos.
She graciously accepts it and sips from it enjoying that it’s her favorite brew of coffee.
“Mmmm just the way I like it.”
Smiling Calvin pulls out a container full of warm cronuts. “I thought you’d enjoy these too.”
Looking at the cronuts her face breaks into a bright smile.
“My favorite coffee and my favorite treat. What’s the occasion?” Turning to face her he holds her hands into his.
“Everything up to this point of my life hasn’t prepared me for this. I always assumed to take the same paths as other royals. We walk with an air of prestige, we lead, sleep and repeat. The simple pleasures of life were lost to me. I never expected them nor wanted them, until I met you that night. That night I knew that this woman beside me who took me to the Statue of Liberty was something special. I never knew what it felt to have someone put me first and to love me, Calvin. Not the Prince of Cordonia but me, the real me.”
Touched by his words so far Justice places her hand on his cheek and tries to speak
“Calvin…”
“Please. Let me finish.”
She nods. He gently places her hand back into his.
“I was pleasantly surprised to see you join the competition and proud to see you succeed and charm everyone who was honored to cross paths with you. Slowly as our time together grew I knew I’d fallen and fallen hard. The night of my coronation should have been a victorious night for both of us and I’m sorry it wasn’t. That moment to see you taken away from me I knew I’d do whatever it takes to get you back. I was given a glimpse of true happiness and I refused to let that slip away from me. I always put Cordonia first before me and for the first time, I didn’t have to because I knew and still believe you’re everything Cordonia needs and what I need.
Like I said yesterday sometimes, when I find myself up against a particularly challenging decision as King, I stop to consider to consider...Which choice makes me worthy of Justice? I look to you for strength. I look to you for the courage to choose the right path, even when it is the more difficult one. That is also why I know that you are the only one for me. I can’t imagine life without you by my side, to inspire me and challenge me. To make me a better man.”
He then re-positions himself to bending on one knee and reaching into his pocket and pulling out a little black box. Opening it to reveal a beautiful diamond three stone setting ring with pearls on both sides.
“I was planning on giving you this last night but it wasn’t ready yet.”
Shocked, Justice sits frozen with her mouth agape.
“I love you, Justice Kennedy Olivera. This ring is a promise that from this moment to eternity I will love you and always be there for you. That you’ll still have me… and a country.” he says with a nervous laugh close behind his once stable voice.
Tears build into her hazel eyes and she quickly blinks them away. Her smile radiating from pure elatedness.
Feeling a little mischievous she stands up and faux thinks.“Hmmm, let’s see, a whole country plus a handsome King?”
She looks down to Calvin, his eyes gazing back at her. Smiling so hard that she feels as if her face my break she suddenly crashes into him making him fall onto his back.
“Yes! A million times yes!”
She quickly presses a kiss to his lips.He chuckles and while still sprawled out lifts up slightly to place the ring on her left finger.
“Other than holding a special symbolism of our time on the tour, do you know what pearls represent?”
“No, but I’m dying to know.”
“Pearls symbolize wisdom, loyalty, and dedication. All of these qualities are found in you. Other than your sense of humor, charm, and beauty I fell in love with these characteristics. With these alone, it’s more assurance you’re what Cordonia needs as a Queen.”
Kissing him tenderly once more Justice then pulls away and says
“You don’t have to sweet talk. I already said yes.”
Smiling brightly as to have never felt so happy before quickly moves and picks up Justice swinging her around.
“I can’t help myself. I’m a King in love with an amazing woman.”
Her laughter fills the air around them and then she’s put back down. She turns to press her back into Calvin and moves to wrap his arms around her again and they watch the sun rise fully.
“Thank you for sharing this with me, Calvin. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for allowing me to have an adventure of a lifetime.”
He places a delicate kiss atop of her head as they watch the beautiful colors swarm the sky. She pulls his arms tighter and breathes out a content sigh and relishes for the time being.They both understood that this moment is for all the star-crossed lovers like them. They made it through because they had one another and hope.

No, leftists. Here's why you can't punch people for being 'fascist'
Photo: CC0
The optics of the video are chilling: At the August 20 “America First” rally in Laguana Beach, California, a large white man sucker-punches a well-dressed, slightly built black man.
Perhaps ironically, this incident does not fit stereotypical expectations: The punching victim, R. C. Maxwell, was not protesting against the anti-illegal immigration rally but attending the rally to support President Trump’s immigration agenda.
And Maxwell’s alleged assaulter, Richard Losey, who was arrested for battery, is not associated with the anti-minority hate groups on display at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” event. Rather, Losey was protesting the rally alongside masked Antifa members who decried the alleged racism of Trump’s policies.
But even more unsettling than the attack itself is Losey’s justification for hitting Maxwell. The Laguna Beach police reported that Maxwell was “peacefully speaking with” counter protesters. Maxwell himself claims that he went over to the counter protester’s side “to see if I could engage them with dialogue.”
But on Twitter, Losey boasted of his attack, writing, “I did it because he would [not] stop talking about Trump when all of us told him a thousand times we didn’t want to hear it.” In another tweet, Losey wrote, “I did what I had to do… his input wasn’t wanted… He had it coming.”
He Chose Violence
Losey’s lack of imagination is startling. His tweets argue that another person’s dissenting opinion – offered on public property – merit a violent response by virtue of an audience’s dislike of the speaker’s viewpoint. And Losey’s words deny moral responsibility for his actions by suggesting that he had no other choice than to proceed with violence.
But Losey (or anyone else in Losey’s position) had many options other than violence.
He could have walked away. He could have engaged in the dialogue Maxwell says he pursued. (Video footage suggests that Maxwell’s interlocutors were not so much dialoguing with him as they were insulting him.) He could have offered a thoughtful statement of his own position. He could have taken the opportunity to refine his own position in light of whatever he might have learned from Maxwell. He could have acknowledged, his disagreements notwithstanding, whatever merit Maxwell’s position or concerns might have had.
Even if Maxwell’s words were truly horrific, Losey could have simply let him speak and allowed any genuinely hateful rhetoric to make itself manifest. And, in the end, Losey could have recognized that Maxwell’s freedom of speech was more important than Losey’s and his accociates’ dislike of anything Maxwell said.
It would be easy to dismiss Losey’s behavior and self-justification as that of an unhinged aberration. But multiple episodes of violence against those supporting Trump or conservative views suggest otherwise, and the result of this violence is to drive free expression of such views away from the public square.
First Amendment Protections
We should also recognize that as violence against people who hold more mainstream Trumpian or conservative views becomes more common and even acceptable in some circles, the increasingly popular idea of denying First Amendment protections to those expressing openly racist viewpoints will be seen as a moderate and irenic position instead of as an insidious threat against liberty.
The scope of speech that is deemed unworthy of First Amendment protection will, in turn, grow wider and wider, and our liberties as a whole will increasingly be seen as negotiable. We also do well to remember that any government coercion that would limit First Amendment liberties has this in common with the tactics of violent thugs: they both use the threat of force to silence those opinions deemed unfit for public expression.
Unless one is physically attacked, there is almost always a peaceful and wiser alternative to violence. Let us tap into the countless opportunities afforded to us when we pursue, in the words of FEE founder Leonard Read, Anything That’s Peaceful. And let us remember Lawrence Reed’s question, Are We Good Enough for Liberty?
If we jettison virtue and reason and instead pursue or countenance violence or government coercion against those holding opposing viewpoints, the answer will ultimately be no.
