Can I ask for Dark Raiden with an IT specialist reader,who is just like a soft,kind mortal compare to Dark Raiden.Like a scary wolf/innocent cat dynamic.Have a good day!

docile as a lamb

a/n: love me a good dark raiden, and i tried dark raiden but i don't think it got across very well lol. thank you all for 300 followers! this is truly a momentous occasion for me. i also have no idea what IT specialists do, so you're gonna have to bear with me here.

pairing: dark!lord raiden x gn!reader

warnings: nsfw (MDNI), wet dreams of blow jobs, thigh fucking, nipple play, electrostim, size kink

Raiden had to see you when he accidentally fried the tablet after gripping onto it too tightly and sending red shocks of lightning through the device

you had taken the tablet from his hands and quickly replaced the tablet while explaining something about the properties of electricity

but all Raiden can focus on is the soft curve of your lips as you explain to him softly and gently to just handle the device with a bit more care

you smile sweetly up at him, and he’s reminded why he fights for Earthrealm

since then, Raiden sees you everywhere, in the dining hall, in the meeting rooms, in the training fields, and you’re always there

you laugh alongside your friends in the dining hall, sweet laughter making Raiden’s mind swim

you tinker with the devices in the meeting rooms, making sure everything is set up properly, and you look determined and beautiful while setting up the deices

in the training field, you’re off to the side and cheering on Sonya as she spars with the others and makes sure that they’re up to standard

you bring sweet treats out of your own paycheck, and one time you have even given Raiden a donut for him, telling him that he should try it

he wasn’t one for sugary treats, he wanted something else sweet, but he eats the donut and finds pleasure in it because you had given it to him

sometimes, he finds you in the med bay with the initiates when you have an off day, and you talk to a specific soldier in the med bay who’s been stuck in a coma for a few years

his feelings grow within him, and he knows you would be just so sweet and compliant underneath his fingertips

but he cannot have you, you’re too sweet, too innocent for him, and so he travels to the other worlds and destroys his enemies viscerally, releasing his frustrations on them and burning them into husks of themselves

he wants to hold you in his arms and kiss you, wants to massage your plush thighs underneath his fingers and listen to you squeak as he shocks you with electricity

he befriends you, and he follows you around the base when he doesn’t have anything better to do, trailing behind you and shooting glares at anyone who looks more than two seconds in your direction

he’s a looming shadow as you go through your day, traveling between the different rooms as you fix different tablets, sometimes going to the weapons room and trying to figure out what’s wrong with the programming

one day, you had dressed in something a little tighter, something that accentuated your thighs and your hips

Raiden had wanted to clamp his hands on every soldier who dared to look at you with nothing but lust and send his lightning through them until they burned from the inside out

but, he too, couldn't contain his lustful thoughts, and later that night he imagined fucking into your plush thighs

he thinks your hips would fit perfectly in his hands, and that bruises the shape of his fingerprints would decorate you so prettily

he wants to tear your clothes off and lavish your skin with kisses

he wants to suck hickeys into your neck to show everyone else that you’re his, and he wants to hear your little moans and whimpers of pleasure

he thinks that your chest would be plush underneath his hand, and he can imagine the taste of your skin in his mouth as he sucks and flicks your nipple with his tongue

Raiden groans as he imagines the sight of his cock buried deep inside of you, a slight bulge in your stomach as he fucks into you

you would sound so sweet and pretty begging for him to fuck you faster, that he’s too big and that you can’t take it, and Raiden would make sure that you take all of him

tears would be streaming down your cheeks as he fucks into you and digs his fingers into your hips and your waist

he wants to tie you up so that you can’t escape him, and you’re forced to take the pleasure that he gives you

he wants to send little shocks through your body and listen to you yelp and beg him to touch you

Raiden bites his lip and cums into his hand as he imagines filling you with his seed and watching it seep down your legs

or maybe he’ll plug you up and make you walk around base with his cum inside of you so that you’re always reminded that you’re his

the next day is a sweltering heat, and you wear nothing but a thin tank top slightly soaked in sweat and some shorts that can barely contain your ass

luckily, you’re in your office all day, typing away on the computer, and Raiden stays with you the entire day

he glares at everyone who walks by your cubicle, and red electricity crackles between his fingers as a warning as you blabber and complain about the bugs in the code

he can only stare as sweat drips down from your neck into the cleavage of your chest

he can see your nipples through the thin tank top, and he wants to bend you over the desk and fuck you

Raiden takes off his hat to rest in his lap to hide the tent in his pants

he has to concentrate on the sound of clicking to try and calm down, and you stand up and stretch, hands reaching out to the ceiling

Raiden nearly drools at the sight of stomach slightly spilling over your shorts as your tank top rides up

you walk over to the dining room, and Raiden trails behind you

you grab a popsicle from the freezer, greeting the chef with a cheerful hello, before heading back to your cubicle

you suck and lick at the sweet treat, lips reddening with the cherry flavoring, and Raiden’s mind spins with the image of you sucking on his cock instead

how pretty you’d be on your knees, how your lips would stretch around his dick, how you would whine and moan as you touch yourself

you ask Raiden what’s wrong, that he’s been silent for too long

Raiden says he must consult the elder gods on something he remembered and stands up out of his chair and summons a flash of red lightning to bring him back to his bedroom

you don’t see him for the rest of the day

he’s too busy imagining you on your knees and worshiping his body

Yay little mer snippet! Just a little thing as a break from Donut Hole. Probably won't post on ao3 (Edit I did lol)

Lost and Found

They didn’t see the storm coming.

Both clans knew the skies and the weather almost as much as they knew their watery home. They should've seen this storm coming days in advance.

But they didn't.

All they could do was hunker down in their settlements and pray to Almighty Sinnoh that their loved ones out at sea would return home safe.

Even deep inside their iceberg, Irida wanted nothing more than to curl up inside her den, like she did when she was a pup and a bad storm would roll over.

But as leader, she wanted to make sure her clan was safe first.

Thank Sinnoh, most of them were doing what she wanted to do; tucked away safe inside the many ice caves and dens they had made, little ones hiding under blankets and their relatives.

Lady Sneasler and Lord Ursaluna had plopped themselves down in the medical den with Calaba. Lord Kleavor and Avalugg would be safe under the waves, and Lord Arcanine…

Well, he didn't have to suffer this storm. It was a relief, in a strange, painful way.

Lady Sneasler yawned as Irida entered, without a care in the world. Lord Ursaluna barely even acknowledged her presence.

“Did everyone return to the settlement?” Irida asked.

Calaba let out a quiet, but still irritated, huff. “Palina has yet to return. Gaeric went out to retrieve her just as the storm hit.”

Of course. Since the passing of Lord Arcanine, Palina had been grieving away from others. She wanted solitude, as dangerous as that was, and Irida could respect it on some level.

But not in this weather.

And Irida truly respected Gaeric as her mentor and practically her brother, but he still struggled with empathy at the best of times.

“Right. Right. I'll go after them.” Irida decided, rubbing her cheeks and smoothing her whiskers, trying to not stress too much.

Palina and Gaeric were very, very good swimmers. She was positively certain she'd find them just outside the iceberg.

“Please be safe.” Calaba said as Lady Irida left.

Dipping into the frigid waters (for some, not that Irida was complaining), Irida was immediately hit with the turbulent, stormy sea.

With smaller storms, it was easy to hide under the waves. But with large storms like this? The currents would be thrown off kilter, the sediment on the sea floor would be dragged up, it was difficult for even the strongest of swimmers to keep their head on straight.

But Irida pressed on, weaving through the ice floats the best she could. Even through the dark waters she could see the flashes of lightning, hear the boom of thunder.

This couldn't be a natural storm. This had to be from Almighty Sinnoh themself. Perhaps something had angered them. It was bound to be the false worship of the Diamond Clan.

(Little did she know, Lord Adaman was having the exact same thought.)

Just at the edge of the icy waters, where the glaciers were nothing more than floating bits of snow on the surface of the water, she found them.

“There you two are! This storm is too bad to be out!” Irida said as she rushed forward to greet them, unable to stop the worried tone in her voice.

“Blame her.” Replied Gaeric in a low rumble, narrowing his eyes at Palina.

“Oh? Oh? Blame me? Blame me for making sure Lord Arcanine’s only son and heir is safe in this storm? Yes! Yes, let's blame me!”

Irida loved these two like family. Siblings. Close as could be.

She would also love it if they could stop bickering for just one night.

“You two can fight about this later, inside the settlement.” she said, swimming behind to try and urge them forward. Irida had her fill of stormy weather for one night, thank you.

The three of them had barely started their trek home, when Palina spotted something lying at the bottom of the ocean. Thank Sinnoh that the waters were relatively shallow here, otherwise she never would've spotted it.

It was…a black and white….lump.

“Wait…What…is that?” Palina asked quietly, finding herself slowly drifting down to investigate.

Gaeric turned, sounding confused. “What? No, we should go back. This storm is dangerous.”

As Irida began following her down, he grumbled under his breath, but reluctantly began to follow as well.

The three approached the mysterious object on the sea floor, and they all quickly realized that the black and white lump was big. Very big.

“What…is it?” Asked Irida, glancing at Gaeric for guidance.

But he slowly shook his head. “I'm not…sure. Don't get too close. We don't know if this is a threat-”

His eyes narrowed as they approached, and for a brief moment, terror flashed across his face. Grabbing the two girls, he pulled them down to a rocky outcove to hide. “Orca, that is an Orca, stay down-” he hissed.

Palina did not do that, immediately slipping away to peek over the rocks. “Really? Just laying on the ground like that? That doesn’t seem very…Orca-Like.”

“You have the self preservation of a sea cucumber.” he growled. “I’ve seen Orcas, you haven’t. Get back down here!”

She crept a bit closer, sticking close to the rocks in case she needed to duck back down. “No…the shape is wrong. And I can see…fabric?”

Irida now poked her head above the rocks, much to Gaeric’s dismay. “...I think she’s right. I’m going in closer.”

“You two are going to die, and at your funeral I will tell everyone how stupid you were.”

Palina and Irida inched closer and closer, still remaining cautious as they approached. More details came into focus. There was a torso, head, arms, hands-

It was a merman, wearing strange striped garments, curled up and completely unconscious. The only signs of life came from the subtle twitch of his fingers.

“It’s not an Orca!” Palina said over her shoulder, “I-I think it's a merman? With Orca colors?”

That finally got Gaeric to take a look, swiftly coming over to join them, brows furrowed in thought. “I…don’t recognize him. He’s not one of us.”

“He’s not part of the Diamond Clan, either. He doesn’t have their colors or insignia…” added Irida with a frown. “Would he have come from a migratory pod?”

Gaeric shook his head. “There’s been no reports of pods like that. We haven’t had traveling pods of Orcas like him in years.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “...he could be an exile.”

The very word caused Irida to recoil and Palina to wince.

Exile was the worst punishment possible. Practically a death sentence, forcing a mer from their group to live on their own, to grow sick and weak and mad from the isolation. It was worse than a death sentence, only for the most heinous of crimes. Neither of the three there had ever seen it before, from their clan nor from the Diamond clan. A punishment spoken only in terrified whispers.

Palina shook her head. “No, no. You can’t just assume the worst like that. M-Maybe the storm swept him away from his pod? Maybe he got lost?”

She turned to Irida directly. “We can’t just leave him here. He’ll drown. He’ll die. I can’t handle another death on my conscious like this.”

“Irida, I have to object.” counted Gaeric, leaning over to try and block Irida’s view of Palina. “I cannot allow you to bring this stranger to our settlement. He could be a threat! He could be a murderer. What if he tries to eat the pups-”

“Gaeric!” Palina shouted, tugging on his hair and earning a pained yelp.”Stop assuming he’s an exile!”

“I didn’t say he was! But if he’s been alone for Sinnoh knows how long? Merfolk go crazy when they’re alone!”

Irida hummed in thought, glancing between the two and the unconscious merman.

Palina was right, if they didn’t do anything, the merman would die. He’d drown, and in a matter of time the crabs and eels would descend upon the corpse until there was nothing left.

Gaeric was right, they didn’t know this merman, they didn’t know how dangerous he was. This merman was big, too, much bigger than anyone at the settlement, he could overpower them if he wanted. He could be a danger.

The merman shifted slightly, and began making a low, rumbling croon. His face, even while unconscious, looked pained.

He was calling for someone. Something. Anything.

And as the three waited with hesitation, nothing came.

“We’re taking him back.” Irida said with an air of finality. “Gaeric, help us carry him.”

“What?! I’m opposed to this! I’m the one who said we shouldn’t take him in, and you want me to carry him?! He’s probably heavy!”

“Oh, what?” Palina said, smug from having won, “Those muscles you’re so proud of are just for show, huh?”

He growled at her, a rumble low in his throat, but agreed. “Fine. Let’s carry this stranger back home.”

IMAGINE Satoru and Suguru as fucking YouTubers, circa 2014-2018.

Ohmygod they would be SO entertaining, I swear. This AU lives in my head rent-free at the moment, so let me word-vomit about it.

It all started with Satoru... Things like this, of course it starts with Satoru.

Satoru gives me storytime YouTuber vibes. His channel started out that way. It's just him talking about how crazy his life is. But after he amassed a following, around 100K, he eventually became a variety sort of YouTuber.

Satoru does a LOT. His channel is INSANE. From food challenges, to trying weird food on camera, to going to haunted locations, to putting weird stuff in the microwave to see what will happen (his house is permanently in danger), to failed cooking videos, right down to trying random products he finds in online stores.

Trust me, it doesn't take him long to get to 10 Million subscribers. Probably 10 months or less. That face card ain't declining and he's always going to pull people left and right.

In the beginning, a lot of Satoru's traffic came from Instagram. It's just him looking so aesthetically pleasing, he's irresistible. His Twitter is a mess. Twitter is where he shitposts, and people know better than to take him seriously on Twitter. His Snapchat... Good lord, help the poor soul who's following him on there. It's random shenanigans that would have you questioning if Gojo is okay.

For the first two years of his YouTube career, Satoru has been doing this YouTuber thing solo.

And then his best friend, Suguru Geto, made his debut on his channel and it's OVER.

His fans fell in love with Suguru. Of course, they would. Tell me you wouldn't love him? (in an AU where Suguru is innocent and has never attempted to commit crimes against humanity).

Also, Suguru is deadass charming when he wants to be.

Satoru and Suguru = iconic comedic duo.

Satoru's views and engagement skyrocketed from the moment Suguru was introduced to his YT audience.

At first, Suguru kept all his social media accounts private, and Satoru was always careful and mindful about what appeared on camera.

Eventually, Satoru influenced Suguru to start his own YT channel.

Suguru Geto strikes me as the type who would have a niche YT channel. Like, he targets a specific audience. The opposite of Gojo's chaotic variety channel.

I kind of find it hard to pin down what sort of content Suguru would upload, but I'm leaning toward day-in-the-life vlogs, fitness, travel vlogs, and commentaries.

If you want serious, educational, aesthetic, and calm content, head over to Suguru's channel.

If you want unhinged shenanigans and pure chaos, Satoru Gojo is your guy.

Satoru promoting Suguru's channel after a failed cooking video be, like:

=OoOoO= =OoOoO= =OoOoO= =OoOoO=

"Well, it's whatever!" Satoru laughed, side-eyeing the messy slop on the countertop that he'd had the audacity to call a donut cake before the entire video devolved into him and Suguru flinging globs of cream cheese and chocolate frosting at each other across the kitchen.

"Who is going to finish all this?" Suguru lamented, eyes narrowing at the pile of food on Satoru's marble counters.

"What are you talking about? We're eating that!"

"Oh fuck no!"

"Yes!"

"No, Satoru."

"Yeeeesss!" Satoru cackled and flung an arm around Suguru's shoulders, bringing his friend into the frame for the special announcement he'd teased at the beginning of this video. "Now come here, it's time to tell them our surprise."

"Our surprise?"

Satoru laughed. "Well, your surprise, but you did this thanks to me~ You're welcome, by the way."

Releasing a deep sigh at the sound of Satoru crooning into his ear, Suguru shook his head. Satoru was more excited about the announcement than Suguru himself would ever be.

"Are you telling them?" Satoru asked, blinking at Suguru over the rims of his dark Versace sunglasses.

"Nah, you do it."

"Everyone, Suguru finally has a YouTube channel!" Satoru announced gleefully, the widest grin splitting his face as he wrestled Suguru into a headlock. A headlock that the latter had no problem prying himself away from. "After a whole year trying to convince his stubborn ass! And the first video is already up right?"

"Two videos, but yeah, they should go check it out if they want." Suguru nodded, flashing an easy smile at the camera, and towards millions of Satoru's lovestruck fans.

"Two! He's fast! Go check it out, guys. Suguru's channel is in the description below. It's the first one there. If you guys need something to help you relax or--"

"--To cleanse your palette after this madness."

"Hey! Rude! They love my cake videos!"

"That's not cake, Satoru."

Neither of them acknowledged the sloppy pile of donuts coated in multi-colored frosting, teetering on the brink of collapse in the background.

"But yeah! Suguru's channel is up right now. First two videos, go check it out! Subscribe, show him some love, give it a like. We had fun hangin' with you, we hope you had fun hangin' with us. And I'll see you guys tomorrow!"

=OoOoO= =OoOoO= =OoOoO= =OoOoO=

UGH! THEY'RE SO CUTE!

Under the Moonlight - Part 1 - Legend of Dark Gaia

WHO'S HUNGRY FOR SOME WACHOWSKI HALLOWEEN STORIES?? (I am at least XD)

THIS STORY IS VERY LONG BUT WILL BE IN PARTS SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

Quick note: This story takes place before the sequel. Any Sonic Movie story I write like this one will be a pre-sequel story.

After a long, fun night of trick or treating, Sonic was about to head home, but came across an old friend. He thought he wanted to get some ghost stories out of him, but he was not expecting to hear something so... Nightmarish.

Orange, red and yellow of the leaves slowly rain down to the neighborhood in Green Hills. Sundown is completely gone, all is left is the light of the moon in the dark sky, lurking behind the almost leaf-free trees.

Children and teens of all kinds ran down the sidewalks, most on the roads, to hurry to the next houses for more of the sweet, sugary goodness that is Halloween candy.

The best kind of candy.

One group of kids come across a small house, the front lawn decorated with fake tombstones and funny looking skeletons, which appeared to be dancing by the tree.

And the door already greets them with such a, not-so threatening message: "Knock, if you dare."

One younger kid, who is dressed up as a cowgirl, rings the doorbell, and raises her small blue pumpkin bucket up high before the door opens. So did the rest of the group.

One other kid in the center of the group comes up front, the kid being Sonic, wearing a black cape with worn out gloves with "blood stains" on the tips of his fingers. He was sporting fake fangs and has red makeup drizzled down from his mouth.

He thought a vampire was the best choice for his first Halloween costume.

The door opens, revealing a young man holding an purple bowl, with drawings of spider webs going around it. The bowl was half empty, but it contained chocolates of all kinds, from milk chocolate, to peanut butter, to caramel.

"Trick or treat!" The group exclaimed, holding out their buckets and bags full of candy. "Hey, cool costumes, you guys!" They said, grabbing handfuls of chocolates and gave them to each kid.

"You guys look reeeaaal spooky, tonight. Especially you, Johnny, super scary!" They chuckled, complimenting the young boy wearing an iconic Pennywise outfit.

"What about me?" Sonic asked, being handed with a few candy bars. "Do I look spooky too?"

"Oh, yeah! You look spooky, alright! Awesome costume, Sonic!" They said.

Sonic slightly pumps his fists and quietly exclaimed, "Yes!"

In no time, all the kids got their chocolates and walked off, waving goodbye to the man. "Happy Halloween!" They all said.

Sonic also waved goodbye before leaving. "Thank you! And Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen!" He said in a spooky tone, clawing his hands before almost dropping his bucket. He giggled and ran off. "You too!" They said before closing the door.

Sonic approached Tom, with a huge smile on his face. "This night is AWESOME! I got SO much candy so far! Check it out!" He then shows off his pumpkin shaped bucket which was filled to the brim with lots of different candies.

"I got chocolates candies, sour candies, even bubble gum! And that's not even half of what I got!" He shrieked with joy, looking inside his bucket. "I know I said this a hundred times already, but, I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!"

"I know." The sheriff said, also smiling. He couldn't get enough of seeing this small hedgehog being happy over this night. "And you actually said it 17 times tonight."

"You counted?"

"Of course I did."

"...Nah, it wasn't too much."

"Right."

The vampire hedgehog then switched his bucket to his other hand, as his fingers were getting sore from the heavy bucket. "Ouch..." He then moved his fingers a little bit to give them more circulation.

"Alright! On to the next house!" He said, as he was about to run off when suddenly the Donut Lord held him by the arm. "Whoa, there! Hang on." He spoke.

"What, what? What is it? Why are we stopping?" Sonic said, getting eager and a little bit impatient to wait before heading to another house. Even his knees were bouncing non stop.

"It's almost eight o'clock." Tom looked at his phone. The clock was just a few minutes until eight. "And??" Sonic placed his gloved hand on his hip.

"It's getting late, and the day is almost over. It's time for us to head home, bud." Tom said, almost regretting saying that, considering how much fun Sonic has been having.

And he called it, as Sonic's ears flopped down and he just looked almost devastated. "What? Already?! Aw, come on!" He whined, kicking the ground. "Halloween can't be over yet! Can we go trick or treating for a few more minutes?? Please????" He cupped his hands together, pleading.

"Sorry, but we can't stay out here too late. Halloween is over til next year." He patted his head, hoping that information will calm him down.

He knew it wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot.

"I can't wait until next year. This is my first ever Halloween with you, Tom." He said sadly, looking at the ground. "I was having so much fun..."

"Hey, it's alright. Don't be sad because it's over. Be happy that it happened!" Tom placed his hand on Sonic's shoulder. "I was having fun too, and trust me, next year will be even more fun, and even more spooooookyyyyy!" Tom wiggled his fingers at the hedgehog, trying to look intimidating, but Sonic laughed at the sight.

At least that cheered him up.

"Haha! You're right! Next year will be even better than this one! I already have plans for my next costume!" He said, giggling, and looking all better already.

"Well, that was fast." Tom said, walking along with Sonic. "Duh, that's what I'm known for." Sonic jokingly boasted, catching up to him.

"I'll give you a hint: BRRAAAAIINNS!!" Sonic roared, reaching his hands out and walking slowly and weakly like a zombie.

"Oh, boy. I wonder what it could be..." Tom taps his chin with his finger, pretending to think really hard on what this costume could be.

"I'm gonna go all out on that costume next year! Just you wait!" He beamed up a confident smile, thinking on how his zombie costume will look.

Maddie was the one who helped out his costume, and even buying an extra pair of gloves to make it look better. He knows that she can make a great zombie costume.

"Why not a zombot? That's more iconic."

"Ehhhh, I'm good." He chuckled nervously. "I'll just stick to old school, thank you very much."

Sonic cringed at the memory of his first horror movie night with Tom, Maddie and Wade. It was just gonna be the three of them, but the moment Sonic over heard them say "horror," he couldn't take no for an answer.

He wished he did though. He wasn't expecting Night of The Zombots to be so... Gory.

At least Nicholas Cage looked pretty badass in the film.

"And I thought Poltergeist was freaking scary..." He mumbled to himself.

"I heard that."

"The movie wasn't that scary! Besides, you can tell the CGI was fake even from the first viewing!" He crossed his arms, trying to act tough.

"It was from the 2000s, it was the first Visual Effects movie Studiopolis Productions worked on." Tom stated.

"Whatever."

"You should see the remake. It's twice as scary." Tom teased.

"Oh, God, there's a remake?!" Sonic squealed with concern.

And he blinked. "Uh, I mean, I bet that movie also sucked."

"Hey, now." Donut Lord said, kneeling down to Sonic's level. "Don't hide the fact that the movie made you feel uncomfortable, alright? You even admitted it yourself that night."

"I'm just not used to expressing myself, dude. You know that."

"I do know that, but I'm here to remind that your feelings matter, okay?"

"...I knew that." He smile crept on his muzzle.

"Okay, let's head home." Tom continued walking off with Sonic alongside, bucket still in his hand. Sonic watched all the kids and teens in different costumes roaming the streets. He felt sad at first, but smiled once again knowing that he'll be able to do this all over again next year.

He really does love Halloween.

"Finally, we made it home." Tom sighed, happy to see his house. Sonic didn't even knew that the house was close by cause his mind was elsewhere. "Already? Geez."

"What's up, buddy?"

"Didn't you see that one house that was covered in egg yolk a few minutes ago??" He points behind him.

"Ahh, must've been Karen and Issac's little trick." Tom barked slightly. The young teens are pretty rebellious, and not in a good way. They get in trouble in school more times than anyone else in town, and sometimes draw nasty messages on buildings.

And to make them worse, they despise Sonic, even though he saved the town not too long ago.

They always call him dumb nicknames like "man-hog" or "blue rat." Sonic always hated "man-hog" the most.

But he brushed them off, he knew they were just jealous because he's the one who saved the town from Robotnik. But, of course, Issac and Karen are a total pain to not just Sonic, but to the majority of Green Hills.

Especially Wade.

"...Oh." Sonic just now realized who that house belonged to. "Poor Wade..."

"That's the third Halloween in a row." Tom shook his head.

"I hope it's easy to clean off."

"Trust me, it was not." He knew from experience.

Sonic was able to see his house from a distance, and he can already see his own fake tombstones and other spooky decorations and fake webs swaying in the gentle wind.

He smiled, excited to show Maddie all the candy he got tonight.

He was about to move forward but then suddenly notice a bright light from within the forest far from the house. It drove his attention away from the house and idea of heading back home.

What was that just now? He thought, looking behind him and looking closely into the woods.

Nothing else was happening. The light didn't even appear again. Maybe it was just his imagination?

"Hmm..."

"Buddy?" Tom called out, just realizing that Sonic stopped walking and is now ahead of him. "I, uh... I'll be right back." Sonic said, zooming straight into the forest, along with his bucket of candy.

"Sonic?!" Tom cried out. "Where are you going??" Sonic was already gone by the time he finished his question.

Sonic continued walking through the woods searching for the source of the light that went by earlier. He had ideas on what that was.

A car driving by? Perhaps.

Some guy wearing a super bright costume? Maybe...

A firefly? ...Yeah, no. That's not it.

"Hello?" Sonic called out. "Anybody out here?"

There was no response, but he kept searching anyway.

He came to a halt however, when he suddenly saw the light peaking through the trees. It's the same one from before. He found it!

Sonic zipped straight to the source, only to find...

"An RV?" Sonic looked around it, realizing how familiar it looked. "Hey... This is-"

"Blue Devil!"

A voice cried out, making Sonic jumped and dropped his bucket, pouring out candy onto the ground. "My candy!" He panicked, grabbing them back to the bucket quickly. "Nonononono..."

"Ahh, didn't mean to frighten ya." The voice spoke from close by. Sonic, while he was still putting candy back, looked up to see none other than Carl putting away his things into the RV. It was hard to tell, but he had a small smile behind that bushy beard of his.

"Crazy Carl! it's been a while, old pal! I thought you were at Spring Valley?" Sonic said, picking back up his bucket, all the candy back inside.

"Ah just wanna pay a little visit before ah head back." He spoke. "Maybe sometime the next day I should give the sheriff a good ol' visit and-" Carl was then distracted by Sonic's costume. "That's a... Interesting outfit ya have there."

"Like it? I'm a vampire!" Sonic said, clawing his gloved hands, looking spooky. "BLEECH!"

Carl was unamused. "Ya call that scary? How is a vampire scary?"

"You don't like it? ...Rude."

"It's called an 'honest opinion,' ya Blue Devil. Ah've seen scarier things than a vampire out of all things."

"Oh?" Sonic raised a brow from that statement. "Knowing you, and considering the time of year," Sonic's smile grew wider, in love with the sudden idea that just popped into his head. "Perhaps maybe you should... Oh, I don't know..."

"What? Spit it out, already." Carl demanded calmly.

"Heheh." This is gonna be good.

"Carl, you must've seen and heard about a lot of interesting stories in your life. I would love to know these stories and why they are so much more scarier than vampires." Sonic placed down his bucket on the ground in front of his feet.

"Well now, you better be takin' these stories seriously. These aren't just like those phony ghost stories the children often tell." Carl began. "These are real. Very much real." He said, in the coldest tone possible.

"In that case, enough stalling. What story do you have in mind, buddy ol' pal?" He crossed his arms, ready to hear some of Crazy Carl's tales. "Please, make me shudder in fear." He "pleaded."

"If that's what ya truly want..."

Sonic then grabbed his bucket closer to him as he sat down to the closest log. He kicked his feet slightly, eager to hear this spooky story.

"Now, this tale is even older than I am. Passed down from generation to generation in this very part of the woods. It's well known back in Spring Valley, but most parts of your town was effected by it as well." He began.

"'It?' Who, or what, is 'it?'"

"Dark Gaia."

The hedgehog's eyes grew with fascination. "Dark Gaia? You mean like... Gaia as in Earth? I think Maddie taught me about that one-"

"Blue Devil, don't interrupt."

"Sorry, haha. I'll stay quiet."

"Anyways," Carl continued his story.

"The legend of Dark Gaia came from an incident that happened a few hundred years ago, just after Green Hills was founded. Dark Gaia itself was a large, dark being unlike any creature. Horror beyond comprehension."

"Like a being from hell."

"Sheesh..." Sonic said to himself. He continued to listen to Carl's story.

"The creature never dares to come out from the Earth, only it's energy and it's vile minions called Nightmares. It's Dark Gaia energy is an, almost invisible like smoke, that roams the woods, searching for their new Nightmare for the Dark Gaia."

"The Nightmares are big beings, their bodies have glowing auras that even the blindest of critters can see. They have blue and red marking on their shoulders and face, and their number one priority? Consume a living, breathing being's soul, to help them become stronger."

The hedgehog is super intrigued, if not, creeped out. Maybe it's both.

"You ever come across a Nightmare, that's it. You can't escape 'em. The moment they see you, that's the end of your story. Never to be seen or heard of again. Thankfully, it's been too long since a Nightmare has been spotted, but the Dark Gaia's energy still roams about the forest of Spring Valley and most of Green Hills."

Sonic looked around a bit, searching for anything strange like the energy Carl was talking about, but he continued listening.

"Three young men wanted to explore Spring Valley, and perhaps find something valuable along the way. It was a full moon that night. Just like tonight."

Sonic looked up at the dark sky, and there it was. The moon, full and bright. He felt a cold sweat. He looked back at Carl.

"Dark Gaia's energy, including the Nightmares, only appears during a full moon. They can't roam around in broad daylight, and only appear during the midnight hour. The moon will glow a light shade of purple once the time comes, and the young men made a grim mistake that faithful night."

"Dark Gaia energy sometimes seeks through the ground, escaping the Earth to finds it's new minion. Once it does, you better get your butt out of there woods, unfortunately for the men, they didn't follow that rule."

"One fella felt strange just after a few minutes of being in the woods. He ignored the raging feeling of Dark Gaia's energy, infesting his brain with feral thoughts, thoughts filled with rage and hunger."

"It wasn't too long before his friends come across him on the ground, in pain, the Dark Gaia energy unleashing from his body, completely transforming him into something awful."

"He was partiality a Dark Gaia creature, fur purple, with a hint of a darker blue. He was bigger, and more muscle than he was before. He's grown sharp claws, and his teeth have grown sharper as well. He's was a half complete monster."

Sonic lets out a small gasp.

"He was still himself, but the feral thoughts kept trying to reach out, begging him to rip his friends to shreds and join Dark Gaia. Legends also says however, that there is a way to rid of the Dark Gaia's energy from your body, and bring you back."

"It was the Light Gaia's bracelet, hidden somewhere in Green Hills. But from where they are, Green Hills was too far, and the moment they reached their destination, it was too late. His feral instincts took over and one of his friends... Never made it alive."

Sonic's eyes grew in horror. "Wh... What about-?"

"The other was fine. ...For a while. When the infested friend attacked him, some of Dark Gaia's energy went inside of him. When the sun came up, the beast disappeared into the woods and was ascended into the Earth, forever one with Dark Gaia, never to be cured."

"And soon will be his friend the next full moon. For now, it was just him and his inner thoughts haunting him for days. No one in town believed him when he told them everything. Some folks venture into the woods to see what the commotion was about."

"Last mistake they ever made in their lives..."

Sonic covered his mouth slightly.

"Dark Gaia's energy is still out here somewhere, hundreds and hundreds of years later. It's been a long time since the Dark Gaia found it's new minions, but I highly doubt Dark Gaia will give up."

Crazy Carl lets out a long exhausted sigh.

"I believe it is impossible to avoid Dark Gaia, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to rid of it. That is, if Light Gaia's bracelet is found, of course. Many folks were unlucky to come across a Nightmare, but becoming one is the worst of all."

"No one knows, not even Dark Gaia itself, knows who the next victim will be. I might be the town's sheriff."

Sonic's eyes grew more.

"Or maybe the deputy, Whipple."

They grew again.

"Or maybe even me."

Sonic held his own hand, wanting Carl to stop talking already.

Carl's brow furrowed. "Or maybe..." Carl then stared right at the blue hedgehog. "Maybe..."

Sonic gasped again.

"It might..."

Sonic felt a cold chill in the air.

"Be..."

Could it be...?

"Sonic??" A voice called out.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Both Tom and Crazy Carl both jumped at Sonic's sudden cry of terror. He breathed rather quickly, his mind still on the Dark Gaia story. Carl was slightly surprised to see Sonic like that.

"Ya didn't have to take it that seriously."

Tom looked over to see Carl. It all makes sense now. "Ah... Carl. It's been a while." He spoke flatly. "What are you doing out here?"

"Visiting." He responded. "Your Blue Devil here come up out here wanting to say 'hi.'"

Tom looked to see the hedgehog turning around to see his best friend. "Tom!" He cried and ran up to him, jumping up to give him a big hug. "I was looking all over for you, buddy! Why'd you run off?"

"My lights caught his attention."

"Carl, what did you do?" Tom looked back at Crazy Carl, with a stern look in his eyes.

"Reminding him about Dark Gaia. Remember, Wachowski, it's a full moon tonight." Carl warned quietly. "Keep that kid of yours safe. From it."

"...What?"

"Alright, I'm off. Nice seein' ya, ya Blue Devil! You too, sheriff!" He exclaimed before walking back inside the RV. Tom shook his head, not standing the audacity of that guy.

"Ooookay, I'm not sure what the heck just happened, but we're heading back home. Maddie's waiting for us." Tom said, carrying the shaking hedgehog back to the house.

"But Tom! Dark Gaia! What if it's out here?!" Sonic said, looking around the forest frantically. Tom groaned. "Sonic, there's no such thing as Dark Gaia. It's just a silly story made up by some kids a long time ago."

"But Crazy Carl said the story was real!"

"Carl tends to believe in a lot of stupid crap. That's his style. Now don't worry about it."

"Oh, yeah? How about that time when he told you guys about the 'Blue Devil,' which turned out to be real, who by the way, is ME??"

"Well- I- That's different."

"HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT?!"

"Sonic, please, just calm down. Okay? There is no Dark Gaia energy coming to get you. You hear me? You're fine. There is no Dark Gaia energy." Tom reassured, looking at the hedgehog.

Sonic sighed, looking at the ground. "Okay... Fine. I believe you."

"Okay. Good. ...Hey, where's your-?"

"MY BUCKET!"

Sonic jumped back on the ground, looking for his Halloween bucket. "Buddy," Tom spoke. "it's over there." He pointed to the bucket next to the log.

"Uhhh..." Sonic looked at the bucket, then into the abyss that is the woods, where possibly Nightmares and Dark Gaia energy are lurking. "You get it, I'm not going back there."

"For the love of..." Tom massaged the bridge of his nose. "Sonic, there's no Dark Gaia, okay? It's fine, go get your bucket. It'll take you about 0.4 seconds to grab it and head home."

"R-Right. I knew that. I'll just..." Sonic takes one small step. Then stopped.

"...Sonic."

"Right, right, Sorry. I'll get my bucket and..."

He took another step.

And another.

"Sonic, I promise you, you're okay." Tom said softly.

Sonic inhaled...

Then exhaled.

"I'm not scared. I am not scared.

He quickly grabbed his bucket and ran off screaming, leaving trails of candy behind.

"...Well, that was easy." Tom said to himself.

He began picking up the pieces of candy as he follows down the trail Sonic ran off to.

"𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 is it? Goddammit!" You bite your lip as your fidgeting body zooms around the room, easily ignoring the curious looks thrown your way.

Minutes have passed of you trying to locate your precious camera after misplacing it the other day with no luck.

"Hey ____ I need a fav- what's wrong?"

You quickly turn towards the source of the voice. The moment your eyes lands on the familiar face they fill with unshed tears before you finally snap.

"S-Sujin!"

Jumping on the unprepared woman, you wrap your arms around her smaller frame, the sudden action forcing her to take a few staggering steps back.

"Wha-____?!"

"I-I lost it Su," you blubber through your tears as you lay on top of her, "It's gone! They're gone...all of those memories...are gone!"

She pulls away from your grip with furrowed brows, dark eyes studying the tear streaks along your skin. "Memories?"

"T-the present m-my parents gave me all those years ago!"

A moment passes before her pink lips formed into a circle of realization and stares at you in sympathy. "Oh, honey."

"Whyyy lord! I'm sorry I skipped church this past month when I promised to go. Please don't do this to me! I swear I won't act up again!"

You begin to fall on your knees to pray but are quickly caught by an embarrassed Sujin once she noticed the amount of attention you were drawing.

"____ I swear if you don't get your shit together! How'd you expect to be a member of the team when you're being so dramatic all the time? The boss will never take you seriously!" She harshly hisses before plastering a strained smile.

Your body shakes from the soft tremors of your stuttering breath intake. "B-but-"

"But nothing! You're a grown-ass woman, it's time to act like it! We all lose something precious but that doesn't give us an excuse to start bawling out in public. Especially in a potential job."

'She's right,' Your head bow in shame, 'now is not the time ____. Woman the fuck up.'

Wiping away the leftover tears, you lift your head high as you give her your most determined look.

"You're right, now is not the time. I'll just have to push through...that's all."

Sujin smiles at your uplifting attitude and pats you on the back in satisfaction as you make your way towards the storage room. "Now that's what I'm talking about! You'll find that camera, and if not we'll just have to make more memories."

Your step falters once those words were processed. "Make...new...ones?"

"Well yeah? What did you expect would happen? If it's missing for more than a month, the chances are that it's either stolen or thrown away."

'I know momma ain't raise no weak bitch...but she did raise one that'll cry when losing something like that camera though.'

And just like that, you quickly crumpled to dust.

Sujin quickly catches on to your mood. "No! We are not going through this again ____!"

You lean against the wall, face frozen with a cry as you slowly slide to the floor.

"Can you just-ugh!"

*Ten Minutes Later*

Handing you a tissue with a smile, Sujin gives you a soft pat on the shoulder. "Are you okay now?"

"Y-yeah. I kinda got it all out of my system now. Sorry you had to go through that." You look at the floor to avoid her amused gaze.

"No problem Toots. You would've done the same for me if the roles were switched."

Wiping away the remaining evidence of your crying fest, you take a deep breath of air and close your eyes. 'No worries. You'll find it, whether today or next year, so no need to cry over it. You have a job to do.'

"Now that you're stable enough, do you think you can pick up some more donuts for the team? They've been under a lot of pressure this week, especially with BTS coming for their photoshoot."

You scoff at the puppy dog expression she was displaying, cheeks puffed out with a pout as big round eyes pleadingly stared at you. "Yeah yeah, I'll get going."

A squeal of delight leaves her jumping frame before she engulfs you in a tight hug. "Ah! Thank you so much!"

Running off before you could get a word in, she quickly turns and throws a bright smile and energetic thumbs up in your direction.

You pick up your purse with a sigh and begin your way towards the lobby, dread filling your being at the thought of the long waiting lines. "Man...the things I do for these people."

════════════════*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═════════════════

"The things...I do...for these fucking people!" You hissed with a huff, eyes slightly narrowed in irritation as your cramped arms held up the countless boxes of donuts.

Of course, there were moments of a kind passerby offering to help, but you politely decline for the fact of them possibly freaking out once they saw who was at your workplace at the moment.

Countless warnings of the unpredictable acts that obsessive unstable fans of idols, other known as Sasaeng fans, were capable of committing floated around your workplace.

So you decided to not take any chances and do the daunting multi-person task alone.

Passing through the front desk with a strained smile, you quickly flashed your badge and move towards the elevator before your arms gave out.

You lean against the cool metal surface as the tempting pile of steaming hot boxes sit at your feet.

The smell of fresh out the oven donuts surrounded you, its intoxicating scent causing your stomach to grumble.

'I missed my lunch break already. So...maybe just one?'

"No..." You snap out of your trance with a head shake, the persuading thoughts of devouring the pastries causing your mouth to itch with want, "It's not for you ____...Not. For. You."

'Bitch you bought it with your own damn money! If anything fuck them people and take all of this shit home. Just think about it...You could be feasting on these...all alone.'

Moments pass of your internal struggle before you give in to the gluttony. "Ah, fuck it."

Quickly opening a box, you pick up a glazed donut and bite into it causing your eyes to roll at the taste.

They were quickly filled with tears as you stare at the bitten dessert in adoration. 'Is...is this what falling in love feels like? Can this be a relationship that the world would accept with open arms? Finding Love in a Single Bite: A woman and a donut.'

The shrill ding of the elevator causes you to flinch out of your daydream before its door slowly opens.

"The...fuck?" Mouth dropped open in disbelief, the donut you held silently falls to the ground as you witness the chaos before you.

"____!" A shout over the multiple screams around you shifts your attention from the bodies zooming in different directions until they finally land on a frantic Sujin.

"Sujin?!"

A smile appears on her face as she speeds into the elevator and pulls you onto the bustling floor. "Wha-"

"Oh ____, thank god I found you! You don't know how downhill everything's been."

"But the donut-"

"No worries, that's already been covered~" You turn towards the elevator and watch as bodies fill the metal space and tear through the boxes with a look of hunger.

Seconds passed before empty boxes liter the floor, not a single pastry was left behind.

Even the half-bitten donut seemed to have disappeared which cause your mouth to twist in disgust and anger.

"Sujin!"

"No time to talk! Our best photographer in the building came down with the Flu, and now we don't have anyone to take pictures of the group."

You look at her in confusion. "So...why am I brought into this?"

"Oh, you're just gonna take their photoshoot for the day."

"Well that's good 'cause someone needs to-WHAT?!"

She scoffs at your panicked state with a shake of her head. "Now is not the time to play around ____! This is BTS we're talking about, one of the biggest idol groups in the world."

Blinking at her words, you allow her to drag you towards the big closed door.

Regaining your senses in time you stop before she could open it. "I-I can't go in there Sujin! Why am I even doing this? What did the boss man say about it?"

"It was his choice in the first place. And before you ask me, no I don't know why."

Your mouth closes at her words before staring at the metal door.

"Look ____," you feel the lightweight of her hands as she places them on your shoulders, eyes gazing straight into yours, "just remember one thing before you go in there...If you mess this up the entire company will be the laughing stock of the photography network."

Frozen as the countless amount of scenarios fill your mind, your body trembles in fear of making a fool of yourself.

"But...but..."

Forcing a very expensive-looking camera into your hands, she gives you a wide smile. "Good luck!"

"Wait I need a transla-"

And with that, you are pushed through the door, facing the moment of your life of whether you make it or break it.

All eyes are on you causing your heart to race at the heavyweight of their gazes.

"H-hi"

Wincing at the crack in your voice, your palms began to sweat as a tall intimidating man walks towards you with furrowed brows.

"Are you ____ [Last Name]?"

You mentally let out a sigh of relief at the perfect English escaping his mouth, body slightly relaxing in the reassurance of actually making it through.

"Yes, that's me."

With a sharp head nod, he pulls you by the arm and drags you to the other side of the room where the group patiently waited. "Now hold up a minute! I-"

"No time to talk. We only have a time slot of only one hour to get this thing done. Let's go people!"

Placing you in front of them, you fight the urge to run out of the room once seven pairs of eyes observe your stiff figure.

"Um, Hi? M-my name is ____ [Last Name], and I will be your photographer for today. So...yeah."

Almost as if noticing how uncomfortable you were, a man- who you assume to be the leader of the group- steps forward.

He quickly holds up a hand causing the others around him to get in a formation.

"Dul, Set! Bangtan! Annyeong Haseyo Bangtan Sonyeondan Imnida!" Their voices echo around the room as they move in sync, everyone's focus shifted from you and to their small performance.

Not a single one of their bodies shifted from the newly acquired attention, posture still as calm and collected as before.

The group leader nods his head while giving you a small dimpled smile of reassurance.

'These guys...they're one of the most known faces in the entire world. If they're able to get on a stage and face millions of people at once, then I could do this photoshoot.'

"Alright!" Your confidence-filled voice causes you to be the center of attention once more, but this time you don't shy away. "Let's begin."

*1 Hour Later*

"You did an amazing job ____! I'm so proud of you."

You break away from your water break as Sujin walks up to you with a proud smile.

Even though it won't show from your complexion, the skin on your face begins to heat from her compliment.

"Thanks Su! It means a lot, but all there I had to do was take pictures of simple poses. I tried my best, that's what matters at the end of the day."

She scoffs at your humbling words. "Oh please! If it wasn't so good, then why would Hybe want to hire you as one of their traveling photographers?"

"Wha-" You stop at the sight of the contract papers in her hands, along with a camera that was even more expensive than the last, their logo proudly displayed on its shiny surface.

"Please say sike right now and tell me this is a joke."

"Nope! They wanted me to personally ask that you join them." Her face softened at the look on your face. "I know it's hard for you to believe it, but you do have talent ____. Don't waste it all away by staying here to be an intern. Go out and show them what they missed out on."

You shake your head at her words. "I-I can't! What about you? I've made so many memories with you and this company, to just up and leave would mea-"

"They'll pay you three times the amount of a full-time employee here if you go."

"Where should I sign my name again?" Pen already in hand, you take the camera and contract out of her hands.

After a few minutes of reading through and finding the rules and regulations acceptable, you sign and hold the camera with a smile.

Sujin claps her hands in excitement as you get acquainted with the device before stopping at the sight behind you.

Her eyes slightly widen, eyebrows raising once a few moments pass.

"Um ____? I'm just gonna go and...get something from the fridge! Yeah, see ya!" Taking the papers and camera from you, she speeds away from your confused face.

"Wha-but we don't even have a fridge here!" You call out to her shrinking frame.

"H-hello."

You jump at the deep voice, quickly turning towards the source.

A smile appears once you realize it was one of the members from earlier. "Hello! What can I do for you?"

A light blush coats his tan skin, heartbeat racing as he stares into your eyes while they send a warm gaze towards him.

"M-my name is Taehyung...and I...want...give...c-camura...to you." He lifts a camera to your line of vision, large hands cradling it with the up-most care.

You freeze at the sight of the familiar device and slowly grab it from his hands. Your eyes begin to mist over in relief as you trace the handmade initials that were placed on it from so many years ago.

"Where...where did you find this?"

"Umm" His eyebrows crease at your words as he hesitates, mouth pursed in frustration from the struggles of finding the right words to say in English.

A few moments pass before the frustration was replaced with a bright look.

Gently grabbing your arm Taehyung pulls you out of the room and into the sea of moving workers.

You slightly hide behind his frame and away from the prying eyes as he continues to hold on to you without a care, a wide boxy smile gracing his face.

After almost ten minutes of the two of you dodging and avoiding getting caught, you finally stop.

He lets go of you and opens his arms in a way of saying 'tada!'

You take a step back in the realization of where he had taken you: It was the empty room you stumbled upon after being a newbie intern for about two months.

The giant window that took up most of the wall was what caused you to come back every chance that you had.

It had a perfect view of the city, the sunlight shining off the buildings during the day and thousands of lights flashing like a party at night.

But you had to stop coming as often when more assignments were added to as a helper to the staff and others.

"We got here...and photo taker was sick."

You break away from your thoughts and stare at Taehyung while he avoids your gaze and he looks at his feet instead.

"We about to go...but I wanted to stay. So I ran and hid so they not take me back. I was about to go, but stop when shiny hit my eyes," walking over to the window with a giddy bounce, he points at its sill, "This where camura found!"

His smile drops for a moment causing you to step up to him in worry.

You reach your hand out to touch him but stop when he suddenly gives you a ninety-degree bow. "I'm sorry!"

Your head tilts giving him a push to explain himself in hopes that you won't get angry or upset.

"When I found it, I was gonna give to worker. My finger made mistake and hit button and got on. I was awe and start to look in camura even when it not mines. I was c-curos?"

You chuckle at his attempt at saying the words, but immediately stop when he leans close.

"I saw pictures...some easy and some very not easy. I like ones that show your skin and sun most. Like now..." The heat from Taehyung's hand feels soothing as he softly caresses the side of your face, eyes taking in the way the sunlight caused you to glow.

"Very pretty chocolate."

Your breath hitches at his words, body shivering at the intense air surrounding him.

Looking deep into your eyes, his nose brushes against yours. "Can I taste it?"

"T-taehyung?" You squeak his name causing the idol's eyes to darken even more.

"Say my name again?"

'Oh Lord! What is this man trying to do to me?!'

The sudden shrill ring of a phone causes the tension to break.

Reluctantly moving away from you with a sigh, Taehyung pulls out his phone with a glare at whoever disturbed the moment.

"What is it?"

"Taehyung where are you?"

The male runs a hand through his hair once he recognizes who the voice belongs to. "Yoongi? Why are you calling me? You need something?"

"What I need is for you to come to the first floor. We've given you twenty minutes to go and talk to that girl you like. Now it's time to go."

Taehyung sneaks a look at your dazed face, lips stretching into a smirk at your adorable reaction. "Can't you just give me a few more minutes? I didn't even get to-"

"Tae I swear if you don't get your ass back here, I will find you and drag your ass in front of her."

Taehyung childishly stomps his foot at the threat with a pout. "Why would you say something like that! She won't look at me like a man if you do."

"Then get to the lobby before we pull a Hoseok and leave you behind. We have too much stuff to do with this upcoming album."

"That's fine, I'll just stay with ____ then."

A tired sigh is heard on the other line. "I doubt it she'd wanna stay with you...especially when I get Namjoon to tell her that you got a laptop full of porn like the pervert you are."

The maknae's eyes widen. "N-no! I'm on my way right now."

"Uh-huh, you better...and let me use your laptop when we get back to the dorm."

The phone cuts off before he's able to reply, leaving him with the monotone dial sound.

You finally break out of your trance in time to catch the sad pout on his face.

"What happened?"

"My band say I must go. Too late, we busy schedule this week."

You frown at his answer before looking at him with a sly smile. "Well, I guess I'll just have to see you tomorrow. Especially since I'm working at Hybe now."

Taehyung's heavy heart is lifted at the words work and Hybe. "You work at Hybe now?"

"Yup, now all I have to do is-"

Your words are cut off by the sudden attack of his arms pushing you to his chest.

"Yay! This is great! We get to see much often!" He bounces up and down with you in his arms, causing you to hop along with him.

You join in with his joy, the room filled with the laughter of two adults. But the happiness didn't last long when he pulled away with a smaller smile, yet his eyes still shining as bright as ever. "I must go now."

"It's okay, wouldn't want you in trouble if you didn't." Softly pushing his back you give him a little boost to go on his way.

With slow movements towards the doorway, he stops with a gasp and quickly turns back to you.

Grabbing your face, his eyes crinkle up in happiness before giving you a quick kiss on the tip of your nose. "There...now I gave kiss. Bye bye~"

He giggles at the shock on your face and runs out of the room, leaving you alone with a giant grin.

"This boy..."

A Bolt From the Blue

Story Summary and Content - 5, 045 words. Kendrick's new girlfriend Macy is electrocuted at an amusement park. Electrocution, refractory ventricular fibrillation, double sequential defibrillation, lengthy on-site resuscitation.

Macy

“Dammit!” Macy yelped, jumping back as hot water sprayed across her chest. The faucet came with her, detaching completely from the sink. Water burbled up out of the hole left behind, soaking the counter and running onto the floor. “Oh my God!”

She stared at the mess for a long thirty seconds until her brain clicked into gear and she dropped to the floor, crawling under the counter and reaching for the water shut off. She screwed it closed, shutting off the water supply.

Then she crawled out from under the counter. Her pants were soaked, shirt wet; water had even dropped off the counter and into her hair.

Macy put out a “wet floor” sign, grabbed the faucet, and made the hike across the park to the office for a mop and a chat with the boss.

“Your plumbing job came undone,” Macy said, clunking the faucet down on her boss’s desk. She was pushing it with her attitude; Pat didn’t like to have his shortcomings pointed out. “I need to go mop the floor before someone falls.”

“What did you do to it?” Pat snarled. He was never a pleasant-looking man, but the snarl face he made emphasized the dark circles under his eyes and the harsh lines across his forehead. “There wasn’t anything wrong with it when I fixed it!”

“It came off in my hand!” she objected, irritated when she heard herself squeak.

“I told y’all not to yank on the faucets! None of you listen to me! You can’t use plumbing the way you lot do at home, just yanking things around!”

I didn’t yank on your faucet, you absolute donuts for brains. She didn’t dare say that out loud. Not only was she not up for being screamed at, she needed to keep the job long enough to pay her bills until the end of grad school. Which was, thank the Lord, soon.

Seething inside, Macy retrieved the mop and bucket and dragged them out of Pat’s office. “I didn’t dismiss you!” he called after her.

Macy kept walking, dragging the half-lame mop bucket with her. One of the wheels had come off and Pat thought it was a good idea to super glue it back on. It had broken off two more times, and was, of course, incapable of rolling.

Outside, the sky had grown dark. Lights and signs were turning on across the park, flickering to life as she walked by.

“Hey, Macy!” A voice broke into her thoughts. “Do you need help?”

Kendrick

He was about an hour into his side hustle as a security guard when he spotted her.

Macy, the pretty grad student working at the same half-rate amusement park where he was moonlighting to supplement his police officer salary. They’d been out on two dates, and though they were keeping things casual for now, he was hoping that might change in the near future.

Macy had beautiful brown skin and wore her hair in tight, dark coils that fluffed out a few inches from her skull. She wore bright colors whenever out of uniform, and had a sunny smile. He liked her, and not just because she’d agreed to go out with him.

Most days she had a sunny smile, he amended. Today, she was frowning and hauling a derelict-looking mop bucket across the fairgrounds. She looked a little worse for wear; her pants were wet and dirty, and the front of her white t-shirt was wet and see through. He made a point of not looking at her chest a second too late, clocking the outline of her bra.

She didn’t notice, however; she was too preoccupied by her thoughts.

“Hey, Macy!” he called out to her. “Do you need help?”

She blinked her big brown eyes and looked up. Then her full lips broke into a wide smile.

Macy

Kendrick was a good-looking man. He wasn’t overly tall, but he was strong and spare, with a chiseled jawline and warm umber skin. He had the best smile, too. Warm and broad, reaching his eyes every time, his white teeth flashing in the sun.

“I got it, but do you want to walk with me for a minute? Pat’s done it again!”

He fell in beside her, asking: “What happened this time?”

“He still thinks he’s a plumber and an electrician. The faucet came off in my hands and he accused me of ‘yanking’ on it. Somehow, I’ve managed to go my entire life until now without breaking a sink, even though I apparently don’t know how to properly use one!”

Kendrick laughed. He was, she thought, doing a good job of listening to her even as he remained visibly observant, watching people as they milled about. “I guess I should be glad he didn’t want to be security himself. Though I’ve noticed he carries even though his own policy bans all but law enforcement from carrying on the property.”

“You don’t want to know how irresponsible he is with his guns, either,” she said. “It’s weird to go see your boss and notice multiple guns just laying around, right? Sometimes they would be easier for a visitor to grab than himself!”

“For real?” He looked at straight at her then, his eyebrows raised. “We gotta find you another job.”

“Three more months until graduation,” Macy said, sighing.

Kendrick gestured up ahead. “Half of his lights are out tonight.”

“Oh… Wow. Well, I can actually do something about one of them. Here, hold my mop.” She handed him the mop and sat the bucket down on the ground. “Be right back.”

Kendrick

“Be right back.” She rolled her eyes as she said it, then turned and walked toward one of the game booths, where a large sign was dark. He took a moment to appreciate her ass, hoping no one noticed that he was ogling in uniform.

He thought she was going to step inside somewhere and flip a switch, but to his surprise she rose onto her toes and stretched up toward the back of the sign.

As he watched, the sign blinked on, then started flickering like crazy.

“I think that sign needs more than a power cycle,” Kendrick said, walking closer.

Macy didn’t respond. Her position looked awkward, her body straining up toward the sign.

“Macy? Do you need some help?” Kendrick reached out to touch her back, but something told him not to and he stopped short. “Macy?”

The staff member operating the game, a skinny teenage boy, leaned out of the stand and looked up at the sign.

“Woah!” he exclaimed. “I think she caught hold of that broken wire on the back of my sign!”

Electrocuted!

Kendrick moved automatically, before his conscious brain caught up. He swung the wooden handle of the mop up toward Macy’s hand, knocking it loose from the sign. Her body immediately went limp, collapsing toward the broken pavement.

Kendrick dropped the mop and caught her awkwardly, stumbling down on knee. Her body was limp in his arms.

“Macy!” he called out. “Shit! Hey, Macy!”

Getting no response, he laid her flat on her back, careful with her head and neck. Her face was ashen, eyes closed, lips turning purple. He tilted her head back to open her airway and leaned his ear close to her cheek.

She’s not breathing!

Kendrick was fortunate that his department allowed their equipment to be used while moonlighting as security. He pressed the button on his radio and spoke quickly: “This is Officer Kendrick Johnson, badge number five-five-nine-seven, I need paramedics at the Excitement Amusement Park on Westover.”

There was a brief back and forth with dispatch, and then he said: “A staff member has been electrocuted, I’m starting CPR now!”

Kendrick kneeled over Macy and clasped his hands together, quickly pressing them to the lower half of her breastbone. Then he forced his hands down, hard.

“Ambulance ETA is two minutes to the front gate.”

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…”

Her chest caved in under his hands, her sternum depressing more than two inches. He could feel the damp fabric of her wet shirt under his hands, felt the softness of her breast under his fingers. Her stomach bulged with each deep pump of her chest, and he could hear air huffing out of her quiet lungs.

Kendrick looked up. The teenage staff member was staring down at them, open-mouthed and pale-faced.

“…ten! Hey,” he said to the boy. “Where’s your AED?”

The boy’s mouth fell open. Kendrick expected him to say he didn’t know what that was, but instead, he said: “We don’t have one anymore.”

“What?” Kendrick’s voice was sharp. “What do you mean?”

“Pat said if the government wanted him to spend money on something like that, they should have a grant for it.”

“Are you certain? One, two, three…”

“Yeah, I told my dad because he’s a cardiologist. He ordered two to donate the other day, they just haven’t arrived yet.”

“Dammit! Listen, run to the front entrance. When the ambulance gets here, you have to show them where we are. Don’t let anyone stop you or she will die, do you understand?”

The boy nodded. Kendrick was relieved that he hadn’t frightened him too much with the “she will die” comment.

“Run! Go, now! One, two, three, four, five…” Kendrick watched the boy swallow hard before he ran around the end of the counter and sprinted away.

A crowd was beginning to form. Kendrick glanced down at Macy’s face. She looked very unwell, her head lolling with the force of his compressions. He could hear and feel her cartilage crackling and shifting.

Looking back up, he spotted another staff member, a teenage girl with long, red hair.

“Don’t let anyone touch that sign,” he told her. “The one above us. Don’t you touch it, either. One, two, three, four…”

The accumulating crowd murmured, but no one seemed interested in getting close or helping. He wondered if they would be a problem when the paramedics arrived. He knew it would take them just as long if not longer to make it to his location as it would to reach the park gate itself.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! One, two…”

Macy’s ribcage visibly bobbed under her shirt. He tried to keep his compressions consistent. He had performed CPR twice before, both times for overdoses. One had survived after Narcan was administered. He didn’t think there was anything else he could do for Macy but get her help and keep her blood pumping.

A woman in her forties broke through the crowd, hurrying toward him. She looked like a mom on a family outing, but she kneeled at Macy’s other side and said: “My name is Janie, I’m a nurse. What happened? How long have you been performing CPR?”

“About three minutes,” Kendrick said, keeping up the steady rhythm. “She was electrocuted. EMS will be here soon. There’s no AED on-site.”

“We can switch back and forth until the paramedics get here,” the nurse said. Kendrick nodded, and she nodded back. “I can’t believe they don’t have an AED!”

“…nine, ten!” Kendrick lifted his hands and Janie’s hands immediately took their place.

“One, two, three, four, five, six…”

Kendrick leaned back on his heels to catch his breath. Macy was still senseless, her body moving only under the force of the nurse’s chest compressions. The violence of it looked even worse now that he could sit back a few feet. The huff of air from Macy’s lips sounded almost hoarse.

He’d seen a video once of a quivering heart under resuscitation. CPR had looked ugly inside, too, the artificial compressions appearing to be both invasive and insufficient.

“…five, six, seven, eight, nine, fifty! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, sixty! One…”

“Ambulance is on site,” he heard from his radio. “They will be at your location soon.”

“Hey, move on!” he heard a man say. He looked up, and a man in his forties wearing a ball cap was trying to shoo away the crowd. “EMS is about to come through and y’all are all in the way! Give this young woman some privacy!”

“…five, six, seven, eight, nine, eighty! One…”

Kendrick was prepared to stand up and make a big show of being a cop, but to his surprised the crowd slowly dispersed, with the exception of a few people with their backs to the scene that he thought might be trying to provide cover.

“…ninety-eight, ninety-nine, two hundred!” The nurse emphasized the last several compressions and then lifted her hands, and Kendrick dove in, his hands pumping hard into Macy’s chest.

“Thank you!” Janie, breathing hard, called out to the man who’d dispersed the crowd. “Where are the kids?”

“Jett is in charge. I gave them forty bucks and sent them all to the food court. Ambulance on the way?”

“Medics should be here any minute.”

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…”

“I should probably go tell my boss,” Kendrick heard the teenage girl say.

“Stay here,” he barked out. “We don’t want someone else electrocuted! …three, four, five…”

“Oh hey,” the man said. “They actually brought the ambulance in here! I see it coming! Alright folks, thanks for helping us with privacy, but it’s time to step out of the way!”

Kendrick glanced up, saw that the ambulance was moving slowly down the concourse, lights flashing but siren silenced.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, one hundred! One, two, three…”

Hurry up, get over here and help her!

“…two, three, four, five…”

He felt sweat trickle down his temple. His arms were burning, but he looked at her face to remind himself that this was more than just helping a citizen in his town. This was Macy, the cute young woman he’d hoped to get serious with. He couldn’t tell if she was still in there, if it was already too late. He hoped it wasn’t.

Finally, he heard the ambulance stop and the doors open. He looked up, saw the nurse climb to her feet and wave them over.

“…two, three, four, five, six…”

A paramedic dropped to his knees in front of Kendrick. “Thank you, officer. I’ll take over in three, two, one!”

Kendrick raised his hands and the medic immediately started chest compressions. The cop leaned back, breathing hard. Then he leaned down, touched Macy’s face, and said: “Fight, Macy. Fight, okay?”

“We’ll take it from here,” a female medic said. “You did a good job. I’m Crystal. Can you tell us what happened?”

Kendrick stood, trying not to show her how wiped he was. “She was electrocuted. I knocked her loose and started CPR immediately.”

“She’s been down seven minutes,” the nurse said. “No AED on-site. I’m an RN at Riverside General.”

“Her name is Macy,” Kendrick added.

“Thank you, sir, ma’am.”

Kendrick watched as the four paramedics swarmed around Macy.

“Pulse check!” Everything briefly paused while they checked for Macy’s pulse. “No pulse. Mohinder, you’re on her chest. Dona, respirations and airway. Val, get the IV started. I’m getting her on the monitor now.”

“Poor girl,” the nurse said quietly.

Kendrick felt a flash of anger burn through him. “This is the owner’s fault. I’m going to make sure he’s investigated. If he did that work and he’s not a licensed electrician then there needs to be consequences… And, by law he’s required to have an AED here.”

“This place is a little shady,” the nurse said. “I don’t let my kids on any of the rides that go upside down.”

“I’m calling it in,” he said, pulling out his cell. He leveled the nurse a grateful look. “Thank you.”

“Of course. I hate to leave, but I should collect my husband and my children.” She didn’t walk away, however. After a moment, Kendrick realized he was just staring at Macy, his phone in his hand.

“We went out a couple of times,” he said quietly. “I was gonna ask her to be my girlfriend.”

“Oh,” the nurse said. She reached out and squeezed his shoulder. “I’m so sorry. I sincerely hope she pulls through. I am sure she’ll go to Riverside; I’ll ask after her later. I really hope to hear good news.”

“Me, too,” Kendrick said.

The nurse said something else, but he didn’t catch it and then she was walking away.

“V-fib,” he heard one of the medics say. “Charging to two hundred.”

CPR continued for a short while. While he was talking to the nurse, the paramedics had cut open Macy’s shirt and bra, baring her chest. He could see her stomach distend with each forceful compression.

“Pause compressions, everybody clear.” He watched as Macy’s torso jerked, coming a fraction of an inch off the pavement before thudding back down. “Still in v-fib. Val and Mohinder switch, Mohinder will push the epi.”

Dona, the medic in charge of airway and respirations, was measuring an airway against Macy’s face. Kendrick dialed his supervisor, watching as the medic opened Macy’s mouth and slid the airway inside, turning it one hundred and eighty degrees before resting it against her teeth.

“…thirty!” Dona picked up the bag valve mask and pressed it to Macy’s face, squeezing the bag twice.

“Gardner!” barked his boss on the other end of the line. “Johnson! Aren’t you moonlighting?”

“That’s why I’m calling.”

The other man sighed. “Is it messy?”

“My girl that works here at the park just got electrocuted.”

“Shit, Johnson. Is she okay?”

“No, sir.” Kendrick swallowed hard. One of the medics was taking her blood pressure, and he noticed the lead was examining her hand, the one that had come into contact with the current. “Medics are working on her now.”

“Hell. I’m sorry. What do you need?”

“The owner, Pat Greene. Pretty certain he’s been doing electrical work here, poorly, without a license. I would also expect that he would fail in a number of areas if inspected. There’s also no AED.” Kendrick cleared his throat. He could see her feet swaying back and forth. “I need you to do what you can, sir.”

There was a long silence. “Understood, Kendrick. Listen, you let me know how she’s doing, okay?”

“Yes, sir. Thank you.”

“…thirty!” He heard a soft whoosh from the bag, then Val’s forceful compressions continued. He could see Macy’s breasts, which to date he’d only touched through clothing, wobble with each compression. He felt strange, knowing he probably shouldn’t look, that he would have been happy to wait until she was ready to take her clothes off in front of him. Her skin looked ashen and dusky and the sight just made him sad.

“Sir?” a timid voice from behind cut through his reverie. “Do you need me here? Pat keeps paging me.”

“Hold compressions for analysis.”

Kendrick spared the teenage girl a glance. She was pale and sweaty, wringing her hands as she watched EMS work on Macy. “No, I’m sorry. You do what you need to do. Thank you so much, you did a good job.”

The girl blinked.

“V-fib, charging to two hundred!”

“I hope she’s okay,” she squeaked out, turning red as she hurried past.

“Hold compressions, everyone clear! Shocking!”

Kendrick looked back at Macy, his hand coming up to rake down his face. Macy’s body jerked again, but compressions continued soon after, this time with Mohinder performing them.

“Dona, go ahead and intubate her. Val, administer epinephrine in one minute.” Crystal reached over and unbuttoned Macy’s pants, pressing her fingers to her femoral pulse. “Good pulse with compressions.”

Crystal crawled down to Macy’s feet and pulled off her shoes and socks. “Found the exit, nasty burn on the bottom of her left foot. Good job everyone, keep it up. We analyze again in thirty seconds.”

Dona had a laryngoscope in Macy’s mouth and was sliding an endotracheal tube down the blade. She retracted the laryngoscope and set it to the side, plugging her stethoscope buds in her ears and attaching the bag to the tube.

“Analyzing… v-fib. Charging to three-sixty. Val and Mohinder switch! Are you in, Dona?”

Dona squeezed the bulb with one hand and listened through the bell of the stethoscope with the other, moving it from one side to the other.

“I’m in,” she said. She quickly adjusted the bite block, inflated the cuff, and secured the tube with tape.

“Everyone clear! Administering shock!” Macy’s torso jerked, her limbs flinching a split second later. Val straddled Macy, leaning over her to pump the younger woman’s chest. “Still in v-fib. Mohinder, administer epinephrine and three hundred milligrams amiodarone. I’m going to go ahead and see if we can get authorization for another unit to head this way for double sequential defibrillation.”

Macy’s body remained senseless to the onslaught. Her breasts and head wobbled, her ribcage sank and recoiled, her stomach rippled. Her arms and legs even moved gently, swaying to the rhythm of the compressions.

“Sir?” The young man from earlier was approaching, his hand held conspicuously against the side of his face to block Macy from view. “Sir, I was listening, and… d-do you want me to run back to the front gate? Is there going to be another ambulance?”

“Please do,” Crystal said before Kendrick could respond. She had her phone to her ear, waiting for someone to answer. “You did a good job with us.”

Kendrick nodded. “What’s your name?”

“Mùchén,” he said. “Liu Mùchén.”

“Liu Mùchén. Thank you so much. Please, wait at the front gate for another ambulance. Be careful. Call your dad when you have a minute, he will want to know what happened to you today. He also might want you to get another job.”

The boy nodded and took off running.

“Yes,” Crystal was saying into the phone. “Three shocks, three doses of epi and three hundred milligrams of amiodarone have been administered. Electrical shock, current went through her. Witnessed collapse, quality CPR the whole time. Cop saw it happen; nurse helped before we arrived.”

She paused, then said: “Exactly what I was thinking. You’ll arrange? Already on their way? Two minutes. Thank you!”

She hung up the phone as Mohinder said: “She’s still in v-fib. I just charged to three-sixty.”

“Thank you, Mohinder. Dona, get ready to switch with Val. Everyone clear! Administer the shock!” Kendrick tried not to flinch when Macy did. “Pulse check!”

Mohinder pressed his fingers into Macy’s neck, Dona into her wrist, and Crystal into her femoral. Ten seconds passed.

“No pulse, everyone agrees?” The group nodded, and Crystal called out: “Continue chest compressions. I’m going to administer one hundred fifty amiodarone.”

“Officer Johnson!” Kendrick looked up past the ambulance and saw Mùchén leading a couple of uniformed officers in his direction. He threw Kendrick a wave and then turned and took off running back toward the front gate.

“Maines, Stamey,” Kendrick said in acknowledgement as they approached.

“Gardner sent us to check on you,” Maines said, raising her eyebrows. “Said the vic is your girlfriend or something?”

Stamey elbowed her and muttered something under her breath that sounded like “You have the sensitivity of a rattlesnake.”

“She’s not doing well,” he said, shaking his head. “They just called for another ambulance and permission for some kind of procedure. Listen, do you mind taping off this whole area? That sign is what electrocuted her. Don’t touch it, be very careful.”

“Sure,” Stamey said nodding. “We can do that. I’ll keep an eye on it while Maines goes back for the tape.”

“Joke’s on you, Stamey,” Maines said as she turned away. “I need more steps to hit my goal.”

Kendrick tuned them both out and took a few steps toward Macy. Crystal the paramedic had opened up another set of pads. “We’re gonna try a vector change. before the other crew gets here. Anterior posterior position. Pause compressions.”

She quickly smoothed one pad on the front of Macy’s chest. Val and Dona slid their hands under Macy’s shoulders, while Mohinder stabilized her head. They heaved her upright. Her head would have rocked forward if Mohinder didn’t have hold of it.

It was disconcerting, to watch someone he cared about flop around like that, with no tone in their entire body. Crystal applied a defibrillator pad to Macy’s back, and then they laid her flat again. Dona immediately restarted chest compressions, leaning into Macy’s sternum with her full weight. Crystal swapped the leads. “Pause compressions, analyzing. Okay, as expected, she’s still in v-fib. Charging to three-sixty.”

“Everyone clear! Administering shock!” Macy’s body seized up for a split second, then relaxed. “Pulse check!”

He watched them all check her pulse again, his fingers mentally crossed behind his back.

Maines sprinted back into view, a roll of yellow “Caution” tape in her hands. “Ambulance crew is just behind me, there was a little problem with the dumbass who owns this place. I solved it, and they gave me this so I wouldn’t have to go all the way to the parking lot.”

“Pat did what?” Kendrick asked, though his eyes were still on Macy. Evidently whatever they’d tried hadn’t worked; Mohinder was crouched beside her, pumping her chest.

“Alright, administering epi, sounds like our second crew will be here any minute!”

Maines handed the tape to Stamey. “Yeah, that dumbass was trying to stop the ambulance from driving in. Said something about the weight ruining his pavement. I told him to fuck off. Well, I did so in Community Relations speak. I didn’t actually say ‘fuck.’ He said he was calling his business partner on the City Council. Whatever.”

“That man is a fucking menace to society.” Kendrick realized he was pacing back and forth, and tried to make himself stay still. Finally, he crouched on the pavement, his eyes locked on Macy’s face. Part of it was obscured by the tape and the tube feeding up between her teeth. He couldn’t tell if her skin looked better or worse. He had to presume she wouldn’t look better for a while, if at all. He did see she had something caught up in her coily hair. Trash, or hay. He wished he could get it out for her.

Finally, the second ambulance rolled up behind the first. Kendrick saw Pat stomp up behind it, shouting into a cell phone, his shirt riding up his belly.

“I’m on it,” Maines said, heading to intercept him. “Asshole doesn’t get to come over here and act like that, not when it sounds like this is all his fault.”

“It is,” Kendrick said. “Thank you.”

“…nine, forty! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, fifty! One, two…”

Maines put herself between Pat and the second ambulance crew, and two paramedics ran up to the group with another defibrillator and a duffle bag.

“Tell me later what’s up with that guy,” one of the medics said. “I’m Tim, that’s Will.”

“…seventy-four, seventy-five…”

“I’m Crystal, this is Mohinder, Dona, and Val. You’re here to help us with an approved double sequential defibrillation to treat refractory ventricular fibrillation. Our patient is Macy, victim of an electrocution. She’s had five shocks, four doses of epi, two doses of amiodarone. We have attempted a vector change defibrillation with no change. Mohinder, keep up with compressions while we get set up. You’re using the same model defib, so all I need you to do is connect our original anterior lateral pads to your machine.”

Tim kneeled next to Crystal, reaching for the end of the leads attached to the first defibrillator pads. Thirty seconds later, he said: “We’re ready.”

“Okay, pause compressions while I analyze... Still in v-fib. Continue compressions. Charging both defibrillators to three-sixty. I will operate both machines.” Mohinder forced Macy’s sternum down ten more times, her stomach bulging out with each thrust. “Alright, everyone clear!”

All of the medics pulled back, Val unhooking the bag and lifting her hands.

“Shocking now.” Crystal leaned over with both hands outstretched and pressed the flashing orange buttons on each machine.

Macy’s body bowed up a sixth time, her arms and legs jerking. Dona immediately leaned in and resumed chest compressions.

Kendrick felt himself sag, but then he heard Crystal say: “Stop compressions! Pulse check!”

He lifted his head, watching as Tim, Mohinder, and Crystal all took Macy’s pulse.

“She’s got a pulse, monitor shows sinus rhythm, we have Return of Spontaneous Circulation. Good job!”

Stamey came up and smacked him on the back. “Look at that, Johnson!”

Kendrick felt lightheaded even though he was sitting down, a ridiculous, huge smile blooming across his face.

“Thank you, Tim and Will,” Crystal said. “You may stand down. Thank you again, great job! Dona, I want her on a twelve-lead; I’ll check her blood pressure. Mohinder, go ahead and get her started on fluids. Val, no more than ten breaths per minute.”

Kendrick watched Crystal inflate the blood pressure cuff. He’d managed to restrain himself from asking questions this entire time, but he knew that soon he’d be expected to deal with his soon-to-be former boss, Pat, and he needed to know what was going to happen.

“Hey,” he called out to Crystal. “Ma’am. Do you think she’s going to be okay?”

“Honest answer, officer?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Too early to say for sure, but she’s headed in that direction.”

Kendrick nodded. “Thank you. I understand.”

“Come over here and say something to her,” Crystal said, gesturing for him to come up by her.

“She might hear you,” Val interjected. “She’s making some effort to breathe on her own.”

Kendrick stood up, shook out his legs, and hurried over. He kneeled next to Val, who was watching Macy’s chest as she squeezed the bag. After a brief hesitation, he put his hand on Macy’s naked shoulder.

“Hey, girl.” His voice cracked, and he cleared his throat and tried again. “Macy, it’s Kendrick. When you feel better, we gotta go on that next date. Keep fighting, okay? All these good people have your back.”

He couldn’t be sure if she responded to him or to something else, but her teeth clenched on the bite block, and her head tipped slightly to the side.

“That’s it, Macy. We got you.”

This is incredibly random but I rewatched Hairspray today and did I just fall in love with a character called corny collins 🤣 😂 but seriously though James Marsden is so pretty I may have to go watch everything he's ever been in, I don't understand how disney hasn't cast him as a knight in shining armour, I haven't seem him in many things but even his characters seem so pure and lovely like corny collins, tom wachowski aka donut lord, Richard from superman returns maybe I'm projecting his characters' qualities onto him (and his face certainly helps 🤣) but I now have the opinion that this man is an angel 😇

AHHHH girl, I will gush over James Marsden with you ANY DAY. I am surprised it took you so long to discover him, and via Hairspray of all places. (LOL.) But I happily welcome you to the James Marsden Appreciation Club, and would gladly point out the other places you could enjoy the glory that is him.

I LOVE THAT LITTLE BEAN. Let me count the ways:

James Marsden Appreciation Post

He has been around forever, but he has consistently come off as a sweet guy both on and off screen.

He has such an underrated pretty face, with lovely bone structure and blue eyes. He could totally pass for an Tolkien Elf with that bone structure. (Controversial fancast, if James were younger: Eärendil??) And his smile... oh that smile... it's pure sunshine.

If you've seen the right movies of him, he's actually so freakin' talented; he can handle heavy roles as well as goofy comedy.

He does not take his career too seriously. He has done a LOT of work in kids' movies, and celebs who take on projects for kids have a special place in my heart. (e.g. Hop, Sonic, My Little Pony, and I even heard he's gonna be in the next Paw Patrol movie)

Disney has made him a prince: Prince Edward from Enchanted-- and he did it so wonderfully too! I loved him more than the "real" leading man, Patrick Dempsey.

You nailed it by saying most of his characters are so pure; it's true for most of the stuff I've seen from him, and I think it's just because of the aura he gives off. He is also known as being the "guy who never gets the girl", due to his roles as the jilted lover in "Superman Returns" and "The Notebook".

If you want to swoon, watch "The Best of Me" (Nicholas Sparks adaptation)--too cheesy for my taste, but it was worth it to see James in a romantic lead (and showing off his muscles--haha!)

He played one of my favorite superheroes--Scott Summers aka Cyclops from the X-Men! Unfortunately, imho they did a piss-poor job on his character, and really did him dirty in favor of Wolverine. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed seeing him in that role.

He has such adorkable comedic charm. I'm not a fan of stoner comedies, so I haven't seen those works of his, but he did Seasons 6-7 of 30 Rock, where he was utterly adorkable.

The man can SING. Like, seriously blow your socks off SING. He showed it off clearly in Hairspray and in Enchanted. I would love to see him in more musicals or Disney animated films. Please watch link below for proof.

youtube

James is the only reason why I am tempted to watch Westworld, despite hearing that it could be too depressing/dark for my taste. I also want to check out Jury Duty, his most recent tv work.

Any other James lovers, please feel free to chime in regarding thoughts or anything I might have missed! <3

That sure was a fuckin’ JOURNEY

(Spoilers, AGAIN, for Trigun, Trimax, and Tristamp) Welp. I hyperfixated on the entirety of Trigun Maximum that I got through it in like a day combined of reading, and that was WILD. Actually had a headache from fixating so hard and from all the megasads, but now that I’ve seen the conclusion, I’m feeling a lot clearer in my brain.

What made me kind of cackle at the end was that Meryl and Milly. Became REPORTERS. People who complain about Meryl being a reporter in Stampede can just sit down. It’s canon. They just moved the timelines a bit. Also, HOLY SHIT was that the most “The Power of Love and Friendship” solution to the battle I’ve ever seen out of a magical girl anime! And honestly, it made SO MUCH FUCKING SENSE. Needle-noggin’s unending, exasperating pacifism actually did save the world! Who would have thought??? And I sure as Hell did not expect EARTH to still be functioning and sending out rescue ships!

NGL, though, there was a stretch where I legit was worried it wouldn’t have a happy ending AT ALL, and boy did that make me even more worried! It was SO DARK. So much death and horror and actual sexual assault (which is the one that I REALLY didn’t expect, and especially not with the character it involved, wow, :U) Nor did I expect Knives to come out of it on the other end actually going “...Wow, ok, yeah, I was a shit.” And for a while, there, it felt like a TOTALLY different story than it started off as!

Nightow did a good job of bringing it back around full circle at the end, and in such a way that yeah, Vash was having to be back on his bullshit all over again, but he didn’t have the weight of everything he was running from emotionally weighing him down like he had before, which made it seem so much nicer! Sure, he’ll have to deal with people getting hurt and killed, but it seems like he’s not going to be putting the blame for literally every little thing that happens on his own shoulders.

I gotta say, when it comes to Stampede, I’ve seen some people saying that the Knives we get in episode 11 is super out of character and he would NEVER do what he did, but man. I gotta say. After reading the entirety of the manga, I do not agree with that criticism. There was a time there when he SUPER tried to shut down any compassion he had for Vash, so I can totally see him trying to use him for his own goals. I’m still excited to see how they handle the rest of the story they’re telling with the new series and stand by my assertion that Stampede Vash should be wrapped up in blankets and given cocoa and lots and LOTS of therapy and hugs and cuddles and head pats and told everything’s going to be ok. But he seems like a much younger Vash, who you only saw a few times in Max, but who had the same sort of naivete. It’s an interesting reimagining for the boy, but it all still feels very much like our favorite donut-addicted doofus.

Also, I have mountains of Vashwood feels that I don’t have the current capacity to handle and will have to stew on for a while, because GOOD LORD that was one hell of a fucking ride in THAT regard, too. Meanwhile, literally his relationship with Meryl and Milly feels almost like the protective, constantly-worrying parent. I know Meryl and Vash is a huge ship, and that’s totally valid, I just do not see him feeling that way for her at all. o_O The part where she was bawling and he was kneeling down to talk on her level had HUGE “adult talking to an upset child” vibes for me and nope. It just reinforced the “This man looks like he’s barely old enough to drink, but he’s literally old enough to be everyone’s great, great, great grandparent!” He still lights up like a giant golden retriever puppydog when they show up, because he adores the fuck out of the insurance girls, holy shit! It just doesn’t seem romantic to me at.

All in all, I gotta say, when I was big into anime and manga, Hellsing was my top favorite and Trigun was my second favorite, solely based on the Trigun anime. But after the really unsatisfying way Hellsing ended for me, and after seeing the way Trigun Max was done, it absolutely blows Hellsing out of the number one spot for me. It’s just SO GOOD! I was seriously doing myself a major disservice, not reading it for so long! Not that I had much control over supply chain issues for very small rural towns with little access to foreign goods.

There’ve been rumors that Dark Horse is planning a special edition rerelease of the manga (same as they did for Hellsing a few years ago, apparently. That’s on my bucket list) and I will ABSOLUTELY be buying those if and when they do! GIB GIB! LEMME HAVE PHYSICAL COPIES! I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED!

#Trigun #Trigun Maximum #Trigun Stampede #I'm probably forgetting some things I wanted to say #but my brain is a literal pile of goo right now #so Fuck it.

Lyrics from 1989TV Vault that made me feel insane

Aquamarine, moonlit swimming pool/What if all I need is you? (The "Need" usage in 1989tv is gonna kill me, I swear)

Love thorns all over this rose/I’ll pay the price, you won't (DOUBLE STANDARDS AHHHHHHHHHHH)

And if they call me a slut/You know it might be worth it for once (STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW, TAYLOR MOTHER FREAKING SWIFT)

Everyone wants him, that was my crime (GOLD RUSH AHHHHH)

In a world of boys, he's a gentleman (YEAH, HE IS. THAT'S MY BOY. Also, Taylor can never drag Harry without saying something nice first lmao)

I've known it from the very start/We’re a shot in the darkest dark (HELLO, GETAWAY CAR???)

I’m standin' on a tightrope alone/I hold my breath a little bit longer (Not the mirrorball reference)

'Cause you kiss mе and it stops time/And I'm yours, but you're not mine (KILLED ME, I'M DEAD ON THE FLOOR)

I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show/I'm about to fold unless you (FINE LINE REFERENCE AHHH)

I said, "I love you" (I said, "I love you")/You say nothing back (HARRY FREAKING STYLES, YOU MASSIVE DONUT)

You went to a party/I heard from everybody/You part the crowd like the Red Sea (She said "Moses")

Remind myself the morе I gave, you'd want me less (STOP, I'M ALREADY DEAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

I cannot bе your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost/And what it cost, now that we don't talk (To be so lonely parallelssjnckjsdbnjsd)

What do you tell your friends we/Shared dinners, long weekends with? (REMINDED ME OF CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS' "How evergreen our group of friends/Don't think we'll ever say that word again")

I don't have to pretend I like acid rock/Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht/With important men who think important thoughts (YACHT GATE)

You had people who called you on unmarked numbers/In my peripheral vision/I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer (HARRY YOU SON OF A BTCH!!! Also, reminded me of that scene from blank space mv)

You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious (GORGEOUS AND GOLD RUSH PARALLELS)

When you hold me, it holds me together/And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever (Wtf Taylor?? 😭😭😭)

I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs/Would surprise the whole school/When I ended up back at our class reunion/Walkin' in with you (AhHhHhHhHhHhHh there's still time please 😭😭😭 Also, someday parallels with the lyrics "Someday maybe when we're old and gray/We could be in love once more/'Til then I won't give my love away/Darling, I'm forever only yours) I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it (I'm gonna off myself)

I dash to the door/You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined (hits different parallels "I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway/Is that your key in the door?/Is it okay? Is it you?/Or have they come to take me away?/To take me away" I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters (the 1 parallels)

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor/You search in every model's bed for somethin' greater, baby (JDK VKJD KS KJNSVDKKJDBVKJSFN HE'S DEAD AGAIN)

Whеn you lost control (Uh-huh)/Red blood, white snow (Uh-huh)/Blue dress on a boat (Uh-huh)/Your new girl is my clone (HARRY STYLES SHOT DEAD AGAIN)

Oh, Lord, I think about jumpin'/Off of very tall somethings/Just to see you come running/And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no (Oh my god she said suicide just to spite you)

If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (Oh no) (THE FACTS AHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHHA)

#haylor #I'm very normal about this album #y'all I expected three songs to be a continuation of haylor lore but she gave me all of them #THE FREAKING TEA SHE SPILLED #THE PAIN #OH MY GOD #KILLED ME (AND HARRY STYLES) MULTIPLE TIMES #I love my divorced parents very much #1989TV

Under the Moonlight - Part 2 - Midnight Hour

Read Part 1 if you haven't already - Legend of Dark Gaia

TW: Intense abdomen pains, bones breaking (not all of them don't worry) and transformation

Quick note: This story takes place before the sequel. Any Sonic Movie story I write like this one will be a pre-sequel story.

Trying to get his mind off Dark Gaia, Sonic thought some candy will make him feel better. Soon, however, a strange glows emits outside and soon Sonic's life will change.

"Hold on... Almost done..."

Maddie continuously wiped the makeup off Sonic's muzzle, eventually it came right off. To Sonic, it felt like hours when she tried to get the fake blood off his face, but it was finally taken care of.

"There. All done." She placed down the wipe on the sink's counter and cupped his cheek. "Now you're all clean. For a moment I thought that stuff would never come off."

"Same here, honestly." Sonic chuckled.

A knock on the door was sounded. "You good in there?" Tom's voice was muffled, but it was recognizable. "We're fine." Maddie replied.

Sonic gets up from the chair and opened the door, seeing Tom in front of him. He smiled at him before leaving the bathroom. "I'm glad you two had fun tonight." Maddie said.

Tom watched as Sonic sits down on the couch with Ozzie, removing his cape and throws it onto the coffee table. He scoots closer to the retriever and scratches his ears. He grinned. "Me too."

"Maybe next year I can tag along." Maddie left the room and closed the door behind her. "Probably. Maybe you might keep an eye on him so that way he won't run off to the forest alone." Tom said.

"...That sounded a little specific." Maddie raised a brow.

"It's nothing to be concerned about. Sonic was fine." Tom said, placing his arm around her.

"Okay Ozzie, you should probably stay inside for the night." Sonic whispered into his ear. "I think Dark Gaia's energy might be nearby."

Tom and Maddie blinked.

"I'm sorry, Dark What?" Maddie darts her eyes right at the sheriff, who is looking to the wall.

"Hey Tom, are dogs immune to Dark Gaia energy, or no?" Sonic looks over to Tom as Ozzie snuggles against one of the pillows, feeling sleepy.

"Sonic, do I have to say this again?" Tom says, now facing the small hedgehog. "There is no Dark-"

"Who told him about Dark Gaia?" Maddie goes up front at the Donut Lord. "Was it Wade?"

"It was Carl. He told that little ghost story." Tom brushed his hair with his hand, wanting the dumb conversation out of the way already.

"That story is way to grownup for him." Maddie lectured. "You didn't even stop him?"

"I couldn't find him!"

"Did he say anything else?"

"It was the only story he told-"

"I'm definitely coming with you guys next year."

As Tom and Maddie argue quietly a few feet away, Sonic scratches Ozzie's ears again. "I'm pretty sure your immune, buddy."

Ozzie pants, enjoying the head scratches.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, something bright flashed outside the window. Panic was returning. He quickly get up on his feet and slammed his hands at the window, searching for that light. "WHAT WAS THAT?! WAS THAT THE WEIRD LIGHT FROM THE MOON JUST NOW?!"

"Sonic!" Tom said out loud. "It was just a car driving by!"

"You don't know that!" The Blue Devil argued.

"Sonic. The moon's light glows purple when Dark Gaia energy is present. That was just a car."

Then at the right time, that same light flash in the distance again. Sonic looked outside to see a car drive down the road, the light coming from the headlights. Tom was right.

"Phew..." Sonic placed his hand on his chest, releasing a relieved exhale.

"Sonic, you're getting worried over nothing." Tom began. "There is no Dark Gaia, okay?"

"But-"

"Ah! But nothing." Maddie started. "Dark Gaia is just like any other ghost story throughout the years. Trust me, if there was such thing as Dark Gaia, Green Hills would be a ghost town."

Sonic looked down at the couch's cushions. "Carl said it was true, though." He said. "It sounded too real to be just a story. All those details... It couldn't be fake..."

"Buddy..." Tom walks over the hedgehog and sat down next to him. "I swore I felt a breeze out there during the tale. I thought it was the Dark Gaia energy... Y-You think-?"

"Sonic." Maddie placed her hand on Sonic's shoulder. He looked to see her soft smile. "A while ago that story was just made up to scare the kids away from going into the woods alone. And Dark Gaia has been a legend WAY before that story was even a thing."

"Kids, huh? I thought you said the story was too grownup for Sonic."

"Do you wanna sleep on the couch?"

"No, I'm good."

"Anyway," she tried to hold her laughter in. "We don't want you to be scared over something that never happened. You are safe, okay honey? It's okay."

"..."

Sonic gently held Maddie and Tom's hand. "If... If Dark Gaia is real," He spoke carefully. "and if something happened to me... Will you... Find a way to bring me back?" He looked up at Tom with a hint of hope twinkling in his worried emerald eyes.

"Kid, I would do anything to make sure you're okay. Of course we'll find a way."

With a sweet and cool smile like that, Sonic would definitely believe him.

Knowing that these humans got his back, all his worries faded away, finally showing off a small smile, feeling secure around them.

"I was so worried... Of course we'd kick Dark Gaia's butt!" Sonic pumped his fists, feeling more confident now. "If I can beat some mustached jerk, then I can beat some weird looking dude from the underworld! ...Or whatever!"

"Ahh, that's more like it!" Tom scratched the back of the hedgehog's ear, relived to see him feel all better now. "Glad we got all that Dark Gaia nonsense out of the way."

Maddie looked up at the clock to see that the time is now twenty until nine. "Sonic, if you're not feeling too tired I can make dinner for you if your hungry." She said, turning her head to the hedgehog.

"I am hungry. For some candy!" He said right before he zipped out of the room and into the kitchen. "OH NO." Tom panicked, running out of the room after Sonic.

"No, no no no no. Wait just one second." Tom finally made it to the kitchen as Sonic, who is already on top on a dining chair, grabbed his bucket of candy from the cabinet. He quickly took it out of his hands.

"HEY!"

"if you want some candy, you have to wait after dinner." Tom said, putting the bucket back. "Can't I just have one piece of candy?" Sonic begged.

"No, Sonic. You have to wait."

"It's just one piece, not the whole bar."

"Still not convincing me."

"Pleeeeeaaaaaase?? Just one??"

Tom looked back up at the bucket, then at Sonic, who was giving him the puppy eyes. He was even whimpering. "Sonic. Come on. We're not doing this."

His lips "quivered" and whimpered louder, trying so hard to make Donut Lord change his mind. It might be working, though. "Mmmm... Alright. You can have one, small, piece."

"YES!" Sonic jumps up in victory, and nearly fell off the chair. Tom held him carefully, making him stand properly. "Whoa!"

He jumps off the chair and lend out his hand. Tom took a small Hershey and gave it to Sonic. "Thank yoouu!" Sonic sang, preparing to open the wrapper.

"This is between you me, bud."

"And me, right?"

"AGH!"

Tom jolted when he heard Maddie's voice, who was standing by the entrance of the kitchen, hand on her hip. "I can explain." He chuckled.

Maddie just burst into laughter, she couldn't stay mad at him. He can be such a dork sometimes. Sonic giggled along with them, taking a bite off the chocolate.

"Mmmm!" Halloween candy truly is the best kind of candy.

The sheriff placed a blanket around Ozzie, who was sleeping by the pillows on the couch. "Goodnight, buddy." Tom whispered, and patted his head before leaving the room.

He came across Maddie, who just got done washing the dishes. "Have you seen Sonic?" "I believe he just went up to his room." Maddie pointed to the attic's door.

"Little dude's already passed out, huh? I'll go tuck him in." Tom goes up the stairs. "And I'll go take down the decorations." Pretzel Lady said approaching the front door.

"Whoa, whoa, already?" He came to a halt and turned back around. "I can do all that tomorrow, you don't have to do it."

"Well, you were walking around the neighborhood with Sonic all night, you deserve to rest your legs." She said, grabbing a hold of the keys and unlocked the door.

"Yeah, that's fair. I could go for a nap." Tom joked. "It's already nine, ya doofus." Maddie laughed.

Tom continued walking up the steps and reached up to yank on the attic's handle. Carefully pulling down the stairs, he placed them down on the ground and kept going up, reaching to Sonic's bedroom.

"Uh oh!" A voice mumbled out and then a whooshing sound goes off in the room. Then, nothing.

That sounded suspicious.

Tom reached to the top and noticed Sonic sitting on his bed, kicking his feet and smiling widely.

"...What did you do?"

"What do you mean' what did I do?'" He shrugged. "I was just minding my own business."

"Really?" Tom asked. "Cause I thought I heard you running around the room before I got here. You didn't... Steal anything, did you??"

"WHAT? Pfffft! Noooooooo!" Sonic sounded very nonchalant, but the sheriff kept playing along. "Why would I do that? You know I don't steal! I'm a good hedgehog!"

"You used to steal thrown away road signs back when you lived in a cave."

"Well, I don't do THAT anymore, either."

"Either?"

"I didn't steal anything, Tom! Promise!"

"Well then..." Tom said, walking over to his race car bed. "I hope you don't mind if you DO THIS!" He quickly said before lifting the pillow off the bed to see...

Nothing.

Tom blinked, surprised to see nothing under the pillow, which was the usual hiding spot for things Sonic would take. "See? I told you, Donut Lord, but you didn't believe me." Sonic crossed his arms and looked away.

"Hey, I'm sorry, alright? I just thought... Well...-" Tom scratched the back of his head, feeling bad for making Sonic upset.

The hedgehog smiled for a moment before turning back around, now looking unamused. "For shame, dude. For shame." He shook his.

"Okay, okay. I said I was sorry. You want tucked in now, or are you gonna stay up for a while?"

"Ehh, I'm not feeling tired. I... *YAAAAAAAWN*" Sonic couldn't finish his sentence when a yawn escaped from his mouth. "I'll stay up..." "Alright then." Tom said, placing the pillow back on the bed and fluffing it. "But you get some rest soon, okay?"

"Okay..." Sonic wiped his eye.

Donut Lord walked down the steps but stopped for a moment before saying, "Goodnight, Sonic. See you in the morning." "Goodnight, Tom..." Sonic said, sleepily.

After that, the sheriff stepped down and closed the attic door.

Sonic then went up to the door and went on his knees, placing his ears down on the door for footsteps. The footsteps get quieter...

And quieter...

"Annnnnnd... We're good." Sonic spoke, quickly crawling to his bed and laid down on his belly, reaching out under his bed. "He thinks I'm sooooo predictable. Sometimes I have to come up with different tricks..."

He then pulls out his pile of candy from underneath. "...Just to get my treats."

Letting out an evil, but adorable, "Teehee!" Sonic sat down on his bed and placed his candies down next to him. "I'm sure Tom and Maddie wouldn't notice a dozen chocolates going missing. Haha..."

There was only a good handfuls of candy that he stole after dinner while no body was watching. There were some chocolate wafers, milk chocolates, sweet tarts, and pretty much all the best kinds of candies. (In Sonic's opinion.)

He first snatched a KitKat and opened the wrapper. He then broke the chocolates off and took a bite off one of them. He danced a little, enjoying the taste of chocolate and wafer.

He then dropped the empty wrapper onto the floor next to him and continued eating his candy. For his first Halloween, he was surprised that he got a huge haul.

Halloween was tons of fun. Lots of different costumes, lots of pranks being pulled, lots of candy, it was just amazing. He can't wait to do it all again soon, and hopefully he'll get twice as much candy.

"So good!" He cheerfully said to himself, mouth full of chocolate. "Man, I don't know why I got so worked up over Dark Gaia. It sounded pretty spooky, but it was just a story." He said.

"This is Crazy Carl we're talking about, not every story he tells is true. ...Then again," His ears pinned down. "I was one of his stories, and I was real the whole time."

He thought about the Dark Gaia story again, but shrugged it off as he continued eating his candy. "But I was the only story he told that was real! I was so silly back there."

He was already finished with his KitKat and went to grab a pumpkin shaped Reese's. "No Dark Gaia energy's gonna get me, that's for sure." He said before biting into the peanut butter cup. He threw the wrapper next to the old one and continued munching down on his Halloween candy buffet.

Sonic tossed the last two M&Ms into his mouth, and threw the small empty bag onto the little mountain of candy wrappers. In a short time, the candies were already gone.

He must admit, it was probably a bit too much candy after all, but he felt satisfied nonetheless. He does feel more tired, though. He let out a long yawn.

He looked down at the wrappers. "I should probably hide them before Tom and Maddie sees." He wondered as he got up and pushed the wrappers under the bed. "There we go..."

He got back up on his bed and kicks off his shoes. "Man, Halloween sure was awesome. And long... I need to get some sleep..." He says before grabbing his blanket and laying down. He rested his head on his pillow.

"I'm gonna miss Halloween... But it'll come back next year...'' He spoke slowly, about to fall asleep. "Maybe before then we can share ghost stories... That might be fun..." He closes his eyes.

"Maybe something better than Dark Gaia, haha..." He turns to his right side and smiled, snuggling into his pillow. "There's probably something out there more spooky than... Dark Gaia..."

He couldn't find enough strength to keep talking, he was nearly asleep. In his head, he was replaying all the best moments from his first Halloween. He thought about the best costumes he's seen that night.

Including someone dressed up as Neo from the Matrix. Sonic thought he looked so cool. He begged Tom to take a hundred pictures with him and that guy.

Then he thought about that moment where he tried to prank people pretending to be a vampire, but most of the time the kids laughed or thought Sonic looked really funny or cool.

Then he thought about... Crazy Carl.

And his little ghost story of his.

He's heard plenty of Carl's stories before, but nothing like Dark Gaia. Some stories he tell sound ridiculous or kind of cool, but the one he told on Halloween night was... Pretty messed up.

But it was just a story. It spooked him badly, but it was only a ghost story.

Just a ghost story.

...

Right?

The hedgehog shuddered himself awake suddenly after a few hours. He turned to his other side to see his clock's time. It's a few minutes before midnight.

He groaned. "I thought it was later than that..." He laid on his back and tried to fall asleep.

He rested his hand on his stomach, feeling a little gassy. Maybe eating all those candies was kind of a bad idea.

Whatever, at least they were delicious.

As a few seconds gone by, Sonic wasn't feeling any less tired, strangely. He rearranged his pillow to make it more fluffy. He rests his head back on the pillow. "Go to sleep..." He whispered to himself, arms hugging the pillow for extra comfort.

...Still not asleep.

He opened his eyes and sits up, rubbing them. "Why can't I sleep?" He asked himself in an annoyed tone.

He sighed and looked out the window behind him. Why does he feel like there's something out there watching him? Is it the raccoons? Or is it...

Is it...

His thoughts were distracted when his gut felt more worse than a while ago. He pushed against it, cringing at the feeling. "Maybe some water will do the trick..." He said before getting off his bed.

Those candies really were a bad idea.

He opened the attic door and went down the stairs. He carefully, and slowly, walked down the steps, trying not to wake anyone up. He froze when he saw Ozzie. who was still sleeping on the couch.

"Gotta be very quiet..." He mumbled, tiptoeing away from the living room and into the kitchen.

He grabs a clean cup from the dish strainer and turned on the sink's faucet. Water quietly pours onto the cup, filling it halfway up. He turned the faucet off as the cup was getting half full, and gets off the stool.

He was about to take a sip when he noticed something off. His fingers... At least his finger nails, are sticking out his gloves. "Huh...?" He's probably just feeling sleepy, but he swore his nails looked taller. "That's weird..."

He puts the cup down on the counter and takes a good look at his left hand. Wanting to inspect more on this, he pulled his glove off and see that... "Wh-Whoa." His eyes grew for a moment when he noticed that his nails did, in fact, grew. They were longer, sharper.

It freaked Sonic out for a moment but he tried to ignore it and put his glove back on. "That was very weird." He said. "Maybe it's just nothing- AGH!"

The hedgehog suddenly jolted, knocking the cup over spilling water onto the floor. He hugged his body with his left arm, feeling tense and in pain. "Wh-What the...? What's going on with me??" He cried out quietly.

"I-Is it the candy?? I never felt like this befor- OUCH!" He wrapped his arms around his stomach. The pain was getting worse. Much worse. "Ow, ow, ow...!!" He strained between his teeth, trying not to be too loud.

He was beginning to sweat bullets. This is nothing like any other stomachache he had. Is it even a stomachache. What is happening?

"I-I need to get to Tom and M-Maddie. R-Right now." He grunted, trying to walk out of the kitchen. Maybe it is best to tell them the truth, about the candies. It's the ultimate sacrifice to make just to deal with the unexplained pain.

To make matters worse, his head was starting to ache too. "Uuuugh...! Stop, already...!" He argued with himself, feeling tears stinging his eyes. Where ever this pain is coming from, he wanted it to just go away.

Destroy.

Break apart.

RIP THEM ALL INTO SHREDS.

"NO! STOP IT, PLEASE!!"

... ...

When the hedgehog opened his eyes, the headache passed and his insides settled. He was shaking, confused and worried about what is going on. "Wh-What was that...? What's happening?!"

Barking could be heard in the other room. Crap, he must've woke the dog up. Still in extreme pain, Sonic tried to run to the living room. Before he could enter, he fell to the ground, his legs not handling the pain. "OW!"

"Sonic?!"

"What's going on down here?"

Maddie and Tom goes downstairs to see the dog barking at the window and a blue hedgehog face first onto the ground. "Are you okay?" Maddie said.

"What happened?" Tom kneels down and picks Sonic back up. He moaned, feeling the headache coming back. "Make it stoooooop...!" He whined loudly, placing his hand on his hot head. "Are you sick? Tell me, what's wrong wi- ...Oh, my God."

"Wh... What?"

"What the hell happened to your teeth??"

Sonic got up and backed away, confused. "What are talking about...?" He nearly crashed into the wall, feeling very dizzy and nauseous. "Baby? Are you feeling okay??" Maddie approached the hedgehog and placed her hands on his.

Sonic's tongue felt something on his teeth and opened it a little, trying to see what it is. When he did, Maddie gasped. "Sonic, you're fangs! Their..."

Maddie slightly poked at the incredibly long and sharp fangs that grew in out of no where, just like his nails. "M-Maddie, what's happening to me...?"

He shuts his eyes tight, feeling his headache getting worse. "Buddy, it's okay! We're here!" Tom called out, grabbing his shoulder.

Ozzie continued to bark out the window. When Sonic opened his eyes, a glow was going through the window slowly, creating an lilac aura in the room.

"What the f..." Tom paused and looked around the room, noticing the aura as well.

Sonic looked through the window and his eyes grew in horror. His shaking was uncontrollable. "Oh, no..." He spoke up. "No, no, no...!" He was beginning to panic, which did not help his pains. "NO! NO!"

Sonic then try to run out of the room but Maddie stopped him by grabbing his arm. "Sonic, no! You're not going anywhere!"

"Let me go!"

"I'm not letting you go until he figure out what is wrong with-"

POW!

Tom gasped when Sonic, out of no where, punched her arm away from him. "LET GO OF ME!" He growled.

They both looked at him in shock.

"...!" Sonic was in shock too.

He looked at his trembling hands. The longer he stared at them, the more they violently shake. The purple glow from outside gets brighter as well.

"Maddie, what is going on??!"

"I don't know! Ozzie, stay quiet!"

"Boy, calm down- Sonic, stay right where you are, okay? Ozzie!"

Everything was blurry. Everything was loud. Everything was purple.

Every part of his body was in pain. One small movement, and it's excruciating. He needs to leave. NOW.

Sonic runs away to the kitchen and through the back door. He fell down the steps and landed on his face. He tried to get up, but his arms were weak.

The glow was brighter once more when he tried harder to get up. When he did, no matter how much his arms hurt, he looked out the door to see his friends.

Then... He looked up.

The cause of the bright light shining upon the Earth and through the house was the moon itself. The moon was shining a dark purple right down at Sonic.

Right down at Sonic.

His emerald eyes were huge. He kept staring at the glowing moon.

It's it.

Do it.

It's real.

Unleash.

Dark Gaia's energy is real!

NOW!

Sonic then let out a scream as he struggled to get back up. His hands were on the ground and he was straining. He groaned loudly, trying to resist the energy's transformation.

"SONIC?!!" Tom and Maddie cried out his name.

"NO!" He snarled with tears in his eyes. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

Surrounding him in a circle was dark purple smoking rising by him. Blue electricity spits out from his body, but the blue was slowly turning into a dark shade of purple, just like the glow.

Suddenly, a burst of light shot out of Sonic's chest as he cried loud enough for the heavens to hear. The beam was shot right into the sky for the whole town, and possibly the whole state, to see.

Smoke rose up quickly and his body glew dark violet, right as the beam disappeared.

Groaning and snarling, Sonic was right back on the ground on all fours. His gloves were beginning rip, showing his sharp claws from before. "S-STOP...!" He begged loudly.

Soon, his hands burst open from the gloves revealing his once blue hands with tan beans, now blue claws stabbing against the dirt.

With a loud CRACK, Sonic's back snapped upwards as he shrieked. His tails grew slightly, and so did his ears, which grew whites tips on the top.

His quills extended along with them, also spawning white tips. His fur was turning a darker blue and his socks were ripping apart but stayed intact.

His upper body puffs out every few seconds, and his wrists were more hairy, which was the same color was the tips of his quills.

Sonic's cried of terror were slowly turning into growls of anger. This power was getting more intense each second goes by.

Tom and Maddie watched in horror as their hedgehog companion, surrounded by purple smoke, transform into a completely different but similar creature.

His eyes opened, not with fear, but with rage in his wild emerald eyes.

BE ONE WITH DARK GAIA!

Then, the smoke exploded, covering the backyard.

Tom and Maddie coughed, and tried to swing away the smoke. "Tom! Where- COUGH COUGH, where are you?!"

"I'm right here, baby!"

"Thomas!!"

"MADDIE!"

Lost in the smoke, the two human felt their touch and quickly embraced tightly. Maddie was sobbing into Tom's chest. "It's okay. It's okay."

"IT'S NOT OKAY! OUR KID! H-HE'S-!" She choked, trying to catch her breath.

The smoke was clearing up and the backyard was a little easier to see. The glow from the moon was gone. But as enough smoke disappeared however...

"O-Oh no... S-... Sonic...?!" Tom backed away in horror, and so did Maddie when she looked at his direction.

Enough smoke evaporated to see a slightly bigger creature, who was buffer and more intimidating than the poor hedgehog that was in pain earlier.

No... This is the same hedgehog.

That's a werehog.

The werehog open his glowing eyes, breathing heavily. He was standing straight, looking more taller and frightening. Tom and Maddie shook, fearing their kid preparing to hurt them.

Sonic, still in the smoke turned his head slightly, almost looking like he was facing the two. Whatever the heck happened out here must've changed this hedgehog for good.

"Is that a cat?!" Sonic poked his head out, revealing his not-so intimidating puppy like face as he stares to his left.

And there it was. A stray cat, who just walked in at the wrong time. It jumped and ran off like crazy into the streets.

"Hey! Wait! Get back here! Get back here, cat! Come back! Hey! Hey!" The werehog jumps out of the smoke and chased down the cat on both his feet and hands, like some sort of a hyper dog.

He slid across the road and chased the cat away from the house. His raspy voice pleading the cat to come back in such a joyful manner echoes in the distance.

The two wide eye balled human stared down the direction Sonic ran off to and were left speechless, confused and, possibly, traumatized.

"...I was not expecting that part, honestly." Tom's words did not help.
