Tech Wizard
*School is kicking my ass but I finally caught a break! Gonna pump out as many requests as my dumb brain can muster while I can!*
Prompt: Modern reader with modern tech amazes our Lost Boy. Also some cute fluffy flustered reader cause I couldn’t help myself.
Requested by: anon
Warnings: none
~~~
Being of the modern era on an island with absolutely no modern technology--let me rephrase--being on an island with no technology outside of rope pulleys and ladders is horrifying. I am a girl that is used to having things such as wi-fi and smartphones and electricity and indoor plumbing! Now I am on an island that doesn’t so much as have an outhouse!
But I can manage. I am fine. Because despite this place having no technology like cellphone towers or outlets electronics still work. Because time doesn’t move or whatever my phone battery never dies and I have full bars and service everywhere I go. It’s actually amazing.
It was me flashing my tech that kept me from getting locked in a cage my first night on Neverland. The Lost Boys were amazed and Peter Pan especially was intrigued by my technology. The first night on the island was spent with me sitting down with him showing him everything my smartphone could do.
“And if you tap this icon it’ll open the camera.” I pressed the camera button. “See?”
“Fascinating. The last time I saw a camera it was this huge contraption with this bright burst of light and a bulb. Yet you can take pictures just with this hunk of glass and metal?”
“Cool right?” I showed him how to zoom in and out. “Oh and if you swipe the screen like this it’ll open the front facing camera. That way you can take selfies.”
“Selfies?” Peter asked, confused.
“Yeah, they’re picture you take of yourself. Here, let me show you. Scoot in closer so you can see both our faces in the screen.” I pressed my cheek against his to get out faces to fit. “Say cheese!”
I took the picture and pulled it up in the gallery. “See? And this is the gallery where you can look at all the other pictures you’ve taken.”
“The quality is amazing. Who are these other people in the your gallery?” He asked as he scrolled through the other images.
“Oh, those are just old friends I lost contact with after I moved.” It was sad seeing all their faces again.
“And this one?” he clicked on a picture of me kissing my ex’s cheek. “You seem rather close with this particular friend.”
“Ex-boyfriend. Things didn’t end well.” I took the phone back. “I know I should have deleted the photos by now but I just haven’t gotten around to it.”
As if sensing that the subject was making me uncomfortable he asked what other features my phone had. I was glad for the distraction and brought up my music app. “It’s basically like having a music box with hundreds of thousands of songs at your fingertips. Here’s a good one.”
I clicked on Man with the Hex. Maybe I should have started with something softer but honestly since stepping onto this island it was all I could think of. Well that and Somewhere In Neverland. I wonder how he would react if I told him about the songs and movies Peter had inadvertently inspired.
“What other music do you have?” Peter asked.
“Tons. I basically got a little bit of everything. There are some songs inspired by the fictional you that I told you about. Did you want to hear one?”
“Songs? What else has this fictional counterpart of mine inspired?”
“A stage play, tv shows, a couple of movies. The animated one is a classic and hilarious but the 2003 live action film is just so wholesome and innocent.”
“Did you refer to me as wholesome and innocent?”
“Well, your fictional counterpart is a kid not a teenager. I’d say he’s at max maybe twelve or thirteen years old when they show him in films.”
“I see...”
“If I can get my hands on a projector we could set up a movie night and I could show you guys one of the movies. I think everyone would get a kick out of it.”
“Sounds like fun.”
“I can’t wait.” Peter and I sat there all night as I played him different songs and we played app games. I started to fall asleep but he still wanted to play with my phone so I handed it over for him to use while I caught a couple hours of shut eye.
I woke up a couple hours later to soft music playing near my ear. The surface I was sleeping on was also a lot softer than I remember falling asleep on. I peeked my eyes open and noticed that at some point I had slumped over and fallen asleep on Peter’s lap.
“Hey, sorry for falling asleep on you.” I yawned. “Still having fun?”
“Yes. It is a fascinating piece of technology.”
“I know.” I realized what song he was playing and smiled. “I see you found my Disney playlist.”
“Disney?”
“Movie company. They’re the people that made that animated feature I told you about.” I sat up, “I don’t have any movies saved on my phone but I can pull it up on YouTube. Give me a second.” I took the phone back and looked up the song he had been listening to.
Cause of course it had to be Kiss the Girl. I wonder how Peter would react to seeing a movie that portrayed mermaids as nice instead of the vicious killers Neverland has.
I started the video and watched him as he watched the video. It was like watching a little kid. He was so impressed by things I thought were so commonplace. “And this was all hand drawn?”
“Yep. Cool, right?”
“Very.”
Our eyes met and my heart leapt into my throat. He was a lot closer than I thought. I could practically feel his breath on my face.
Yes, you want her Look at her, you know you do Possible she want you too, there is one way to ask her It don't take a word, not a single word Go on and kiss the girl
Why couldn’t I have played Poor Unfortunate Souls or Circle of Life? Why did I have to put on this song? It was giving me ideas I don’t think I should be having.
Look like the boy too shy He ain't gonna kiss the girl Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad? Ain't it a shame? Too bad He gonna miss the girl
It was only made all the worse by the fact that he wouldn’t stop staring at me now.
Now's your moment Floating in a blue lagoon Boy, you better do it soon, no time will be better She don't say a word and she won't say a word Until you kiss the girl
He looked at me with a smirk. “Is it true?”
“Hm?” I didn’t trust myself to speak at that moment.
“Are you not gonna say a word until I kiss you?” His grin grew wider and my panic grew deeper.
“No. No, I can talk.” I stammered out. “I was just--you know what? I never showed you how to record videos on this. Check this out.” I quickly closed the app and opened the camera again. “See, we click this button and when he tap the center button now it’ll record.”
“It records anything?” He asked with that same mischievous smile of his.
“Yeah. Sure does.”
“That could come in very handy. Let me see.” He took the phone and aimed it at us to record. “There is something that I’d like to hold onto.”
“What’s that?”
“Your flustered face.” He pecked my cheek and my mouth dropped open.
“Peter!”
“And now I have that face forever!” he laughed as he played the video back. “You are going to have to bring more of this stuff over, my little technology wizard. I want to have much more fun with these devices.”
“Yeah. Sure.” I nodded furiously. “I’ll be sure to get right on that. There are tons of movies and video games I think you guys would really like. I could also bring over some flashlights. They’re like torches but they won’t set stuff on fire. Who knows, I might even bring over a karaoke machine. I think that would be really funny to witness.”
“Whatever you say.” Peter lounged back. “Now explain to me what a karaoke machine is.”

San Francisco (Branjie) - Poppedthep
AN: Spoilers for the finale! Brooke and Vanjie the night [spoiler] wins. Slight AU of seating positions if you’ve seen the top four queens reaction video.
This is my first time posting here! If you enjoy this will likely be more on my AO3 account soon, under this author name. But wanted to come join in and post on AQ at least once as I enjoy the fic from everyone on here! Hello :)
Brooke is holding Vanjie’s hand when they find out Yvie wins.
Brooke is on the couch with the four, right hand on Yvie’s knee, Yvie’s on hers, both squeezing tight.
Jose is perched on the arm next to them with a drink, in boy clothes. He managed to blag his way in there with them, of course. No one says no to Vanjie.
He’s kept his distance all night, showing love to all the girls equally, but in the last second as Ru says “the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, America’s next Drag Superstar is…” Brooke feels Jose’s hand slip into her free one, linking their fingers and squeezing. She squeezes back, grateful, and doesn’t look away from the screen, tells herself whatever happens she’ll be okay.
And she is. Jose screams and hugs Yvie with the rest of the four, and then hugs Brooke longer and tighter, leaving an arm around her waist, waiting until everyone is following Yvie out and no one is looking at them to catch her eye and mouth “You okay?”
Brooke nods and forces her smile even bigger, just to reassure him. She is. Of course she’s a little disappointed, that’s natural, but she’d sort of felt it coming. Suspected it. She’s made her peace with it.
Everyone goes out to the viewing party to watch the crowning, mingle, take photos. As soon as they get out there Brooke is hugging Courtney, who can’t stop crying. Jose runs off to shop his Levis freebies, floating around in those red plaid pants like a snack.
Brooke Lynn smiles graciously, makes the rounds accepting hugs and drinks and congratulations and compliments, as beautifully poised as though she is wearing the crown. A pageant-perfect good-natured runner up.
Brock is proud of what he’s done. He’s grateful for everything. There are good things ahead and he’ll be fine.
“Look at you,” Jose comes over and perches next to him on a bar stool later, when most people have left, plopping his big Levis bag on the bar. In this position his head is above Brooke’s and he leans down and says,
“You my winner,” against her cheek.
“Don’t tell none of them other hos,” into her ear.
He links his hands around Brooke’s neck and Brooke turns her face into Jose’s collarbone, smiling at the familiar warmth, resting her arms around his waist in their easy cuddle.
“Look at him,” Jose says to apparently no one, gazing at her fondly, possibly tipsy.
Jose looks down and back up quickly, mischief and invitation in his eyes.
“Want me to make you feel like the winner tonight?” he flashes a conspiratorial smile, all teeth and cuteness, speaking low enough the people passing on their way out can’t hear.
“Don’t you even worry baby,” he growls, wicked but soft, “I’m bout to make you feel like the real queen.”
He’s definitely not sober but aware of what he’s doing, shades of comforting and caretaking making his eyes soft beneath the mischief, even as his hand slips down the open back of Brooke’s gown to squeeze the top of her ass under the padding.
They’ve done it plenty of times when they’ve spent time together since the break up. More often lately since they’ve been seeing each other a lot. Now they’re on tour together it looks like there’ll be more ahead.
But Jose is sick today. Sore throat, stuffy nose, congested head, medicated and powering through it. No one could tell, he’s looking like distractingly fine trade in tight red plaid that leaves nothing to the imagination, but Brooke knows he’s not feeling his best.
“No, you’re sick, you don’t have to do that,” she protests, indignant on his behalf.
“I’m fine Mary,” Jose insists, “My pussy ready to pop twenty four seven, you know that. Don’t got to get ready if you stay ready,” he winks.
But he also sniffles and he smells like menthol throat sweets and he doesn’t insist very hard. Brooke can tell it’s more about being there for her in case her ego needs it than Jose really wanting it tonight.
“No, you rest up, get your beauty sleep,” she teases and she already knows what’s coming when Jose clicks his tongue and quips,
“Bitch I don’t need no beauty sleep. Look at this mug! Born beautiful, catch that” and snaps his fingers above their heads.
“That leopard catsuit though,” Brooke grabs his hip and gives him what she knows is a dangerously appreciative look but she just spent an hour rewatching how good Vanjie looked in that skin tight leopard print.
“Yeah?” Jose smirks proudly, pursing his lips, popping a shoulder.
“Yeah,” Brooke laughs, “And you know it,” she teases, “My best dressed.”
Jose tilts his head and purses his lips again smugly.
“Damn right I know it. Your best drag queen. Winner of Season Eleven. Cut the check, bitch!” he snaps the air again and Brooke laughs instinctively.
“Right. This tired old lady needs to get to bed,” Brooke detangles herself before they get any further into flirting.
She gives Jose a big kiss on the cheek and says, “Thanks though. Love you,” only avoiding his lips because she doesn’t want to get sick.
Jose says “Love you too,” tilting his head and watching her leave from the bar stool with the same tipsy, fond gaze.
He’s very cute. It blows Brooke’s mind how Jose can look like such trade out of drag when he’s such a pretty woman as Vanjie.
Brooke waves “Feel better,” blowing another kiss over her shoulder and heads back to her room to listen to Nina’s album on Spotify again with Courtney.
Hours later it’s two am. Courtney left at eleven and Brock is in bed but can’t sleep. He stares at the ceiling, his thoughts racing with what’s to come next. It’s hard to plan for. It’s so unknown. It’s all good things on the horizon but he feels a looming dread for no rational reason. The crown would have given more structure and certainty to his post-show path. Things will still be good, he knows they will, but there are so many unknown variables now.
He really needs to sleep. They’re flying early, have Vancouver tomorrow night. He can’t make his brain turn off. The dread is growing, forming into anxiety.
He needs a distraction from his racing thoughts. The best distraction he knows conveniently happens to be staying a few doors down.
Brock doesn’t want to bother him at two am when he’s sick. But he did offer earlier…..
He tries to sleep for twenty more minutes before he gives in and texts Jose:
Hey, are you awake?
Am now bitch. Whats up?
Wanna come visit for a bit?
Minutes later Jose knocks his door. Brock answers shirtless in sleep sweats, not bothering to turn on any lights other than the bedside lamp.
Jose is in boxers with a robe loosely around his shoulders and raises his eyebrows when Brock opens the door, running his eyes down Brock’s chest to the v above his sweats.
“Change your mind?” he smirks.
Brock opens the door wider to let him in before answering, wary of not giving anyone the chance to spot him there and get even more involved in their personal lives than everyone is already.
Jose scoots past him smirking, keeping eye contact, their hips brushing with just sheer cotton between them. Given that they mostly touch in drag these days, it’s overstimulation. His dick twitches involuntarily and for a moment he’s overwhelmed with wanting to grab Jose, run his hands all over him.
But he really didn’t ask him to come over for sex. Jose is sick. He’s in a weird headspace. Neither of them are really in the mood for it. He just knows the spirit that is Vanjie will be able to distract him from his thoughts, lighten his mood.
“No,” he laughs, “I didn’t change my mind.”
Jose’s eyebrows shoot higher, doubting.
“I swear,” he protests. “I just couldn’t sleep. Wanna talk for a bit?”
“Okay,” Jose nods warily, getting softer and more serious, waiting to see what Brock needs from him.
“We can get in bed if you want. Then you can fall asleep if I’m boring you,” Brock says.
Jose huffs a laugh and says, “Okay,” again, and gets in the left side of the bed, the side he always used to take, putting his phone face down on the bedside table.
Brock slips in the other side. They lie down on the starchy hotel pillows and turn to face each other.
“So how you feelin?” Jose asks softly, looking him over.
“Good. Weird,” Brock shrugs.
Jose nods and sniffles, suppresses a cough.
“Are you okay?” concern makes Brock’s voice soft.
“Mmhmm,” Jose answers, shifting on the pillow, sniffling a bit more. Brock reaches to the bedside table and hands him a tissue.
“Thanks,” Jose blows his nose.
“Sorry to get you out of bed when you’re sick,” Brock’s voice is naturally soft and gets softer with worry. Jose never doesn’t look good, but he’s starting to look noticeably sick. Brock will feel bad if he’s sicker tomorrow because of him.
“We in bed now, ho,“ Jose has a small smile. “Anyway I don’t mind. Wasn’ really sleeping.”
Brock feels an involuntary smile spread and he was right about his choice of distraction.
“You better keep them nasty toes over there, though, or I ain’t being held responsible for my actions,” Jose jokes, pleased when Brock properly laughs.
He lasts all of two minutes on the opposite side of the bed before he scoots over to Jose like a cat for a cuddle.
Jose opens his arms and Brock shuffles down and rests his head on Jose’s smooth chest, feeling arms wrap tightly around him.
He just breathes there for a moment, calmer, safer, comforted already.
“Don’t freak out. You did so good. I’m proud of you. Everybody proud.” Jose says soothingly. His hand strokes across the tired muscles in Brock’s back.
“You gonna be fine. You’ll get so many gigs. People love you.” His hand strokes through Brock’s hair, scratching at his scalp and Brock leans into it, rubbing his cheek against Jose’s chest.
“Thanks,” he sighs softly. “It’s just not knowing. Everything starts now and I want to make the most of it, do the best I can. I don’t want to miss anything or fuck anything up or…” he exhales his perfectionist frustrations with himself in a sigh.
“You won’t fuck anything up. You’re amazing,” the rhythm of Jose’s hand in his hair and the lull of his voice is relaxing. The certainty in it makes him feel strong, makes him believe him. Something about his energy just oozes positivity around them, even when he’s not making jokes.
“Take it one thing at a time. Gotta slay this tour first. You will, you’re fierce. Keep doin them Lives talkin it up with the fans. You good at that.”
The pads of Jose’s fingers draw circles on Brock’s scalp and he feels like he could purr.
“Then we going to Europe with Miss Nina West. Girls on tour. Girls gone wild! London baby!” Jose’s voice gets playfully raucous and Brock looks up and sees Jose looking down at him hopefully, trying to make him smile, so he does. Jose blows him a kiss in the air. Brock blows one back and settles his head back down.
Jose plays with his hair in silence for a while. The hotel mini fridge hums. As though he senses Brock’s intrusive thoughts starting to creep back Jose starts talking again softly,
“You not on your own. You got an amazing team. You got Steve and Courtney and your mom. You got Plastique, Nina, Rajah, Tynomi. Gia, Brynn, Farah, all your friends,” his breath hitches slightly before adding, “And me.”
“Thanks, Big Guy,” Brock sighs again, softer. The nickname slips out accidentally, he feels Jose twitch involuntarily at it beneath him. He presses a kiss into Jose’s chest and feels Jose kiss the top of his head.
“We all believe in you. You a winner baby. And I done this shit before. I’ll help you.” Jose’s fingertips smooth over his brow, flattening out invisible lines before dipping back into his hair.
“Thanks,” Brock murmurs again, truly grateful. “You’ve already helped me so much already,” he says on a yawn.
His thoughts are finally quietening down and allowing him to get sleepy. He yawns again into Jose’s warm skin.
“Get excited, bitch. This gonna be a good year,” Jose sniffles again. Brock feels his chest shake as he suppresses a cough.
“Yeah, it is,” Brock wills himself to believe it. He stretches to the bedside table to hand Jose another tissue. The air away from Jose is so much colder, even just those few inches of bed, and he feels immediately relieved to snuggle back down close.
“It’s gonna be good,“ he repeats to himself.
"Gonna be real good, bitch,” Jose is yawning now too.
He falls asleep not long after on Jose’s chest, lulled by gentle affirmations and gentle fingers on his scalp.

Third P.O.V
Nobody had expected the break up. It was huge, the only thing being talked about. SHAWN MENDES BREAKS UP WITH (Y/N) (Y/L/N)! It’s on every news outlet, can’t run from it even if she tried. Andrew was still trying to wrap his head around the situation himself. From the outside, they looked like the perfect couple, happy and healthy. Almost two years of dating, he decided to dump her for what seems no reason whatsoever. And of course, (Y/n) wanted for the situation, the relationship, to have never happened. Except nobody else would stop talking about it, wouldn’t shut up actually. She wanted to get back to her old life but the tweets kept coming in. Some were positive and others, not so much. (Y/n) tried her best to ignore all of it, find a way to cope. But in doing so, she slipped into old, unhealthy habits. She could still feel his soft lips atop hers, warm and plump as sucked down on another cigarette. 
Tumblr media
Pushing the shades up to the roof of her nose, (Y/n) pulled out another as she made her way over to the cafe to meet with her agent who’s tried effortlessly to get the young woman out of her house, away from bad habits. She knows she’s going to be pictured. There's always someone lurking around the corner, just when she thinks she’s comfortable. But upon entering the cafe shop, there’s a sense of comfort that she hadn’t had in a while. The smell of warm hot cocoa and old, torn books makes her smile for the first time in months. It doesn’t take her long to find her agent, already sat down with her favorite drink as she sported a sympathetic smile. Her agent, V, hadn’t set her and Shawn up. They had fallen for one another all on their own and V couldn’t help but admit that it was great publicity. This though, this breakup was hard. 
“THIS JUST IN! MODEL, ACTRESS AND ACTIVIST, (Y/N) (Y/L/N), SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE BREAKUP WITH CANADIAN MUSICIAN, SHAWN MENDES!” The TV screams and Shawn can’t help but look up, wanting to know if she’s doing okay after their split. The second the image displays, his heart drops. She looks pale and broken, thinner than before as she brought a cigarette up to her lips. Oh my god. . Shawn thought as his face turned pale. I did this to her. . . (Y/n)’s once beautiful and warm face was nothing but cold and lifeless. Her eyes were no longer loving and bright, more gaunty and tired circles. She looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks, months even. The longer Shawn looked at the image, the more regret and guilt he had. God, she looks so broken and sad. He couldn’t not feel for her. They were once the item, the talk of the town if you will. 
Tumblr media
It takes him a minute to actually see the cigarette. Shawn cusses under his breath at himself. How could he have hurt her so much that she slipped back into old habits? Because of it, he was sure that’s why she looked so different, so broken. It takes everything in him to not call her, to beg her to stop and come home but it’s too late. She won’t come back to him, at least he believes that she won’t. (Y/n) looks incredibly different from when they first met and honest to god she looks like someone else entirely. She doesn’t look like the girl he fell in love with. But then again, he did this to her. Maybe, just maybe, all of this could have been prevented. But it was too late. 
It had been a few months since he last saw her. After being spotted in the cafe, it’s like she vanished from the tabloids completely all over again. Shawn would never admit that late at night he’d sit atop his bed and scroll through Twitter, almost praying he’d find a photo of her, some reassurance that she was okay because he would always spew a blatant lie when he was asked how he was dealing with the breakup. He wanted to know that she was happy again, that she was content. Shawn missed the way her eyes lit up when she talked about something as simple as flowers, or the way the sun almost seemed to touch the ocean as it peaks up from down below. This ritual continues to happen for the next few days, that is until new pictures start to float around the internet, photos he can’t ignore. There she is, looking more beautiful than the day Shawn met her. Her eyes are wide and glowing, brighter than before. Except this time, she’s not alone. They don’t shimmer that way because of Shawn anymore, they twinkle because another man that wasn’t him. 
Tumblr media
She’s with a man that looks vaguely familiar to him. The guy was either an actor or musician but he didn’t have to look hard to bring a name to the face. Daniel Sharman, actor on the TV show, Teen Wolf. Even though Shawn is straight, he can’t deny that the guy is a handsome man, built and toned with light brown hair and a mix of both blue and green eyes. His jaw-line could literally cut a diamond and for some reason, the longer Shawn looks at the photos, the more angry he becomes. He hates the way Daniel’s eyes linger on (Y/n) as he wraps his hands around her waist, lovingly. How the young man peppers her shoulders with faint kisses and laughs when she giggles. They looked more happy and content than her and Shawn ever’d been. He hated how affectionate they were with one another, made his stomach turn with jealous disgust. Clicking on one of the videos from the twitter handle, he scoffed as Daniel twirled (Y/n) around to The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra. The comment section was over-flowing. 
“THEY LOOK SO CUTE TOGETHER!”
             “SHIP OF THE CENTURY!!”
“i honestly can’t wait to see them get married. like, i want a man who can look at me the way Daniel looks at (Y/n). #totallyjealous”
              “mom and dad? mOm aNd dAd? MOM AND DAD!! THAT’S MY MOM AND DAD!” 
(Y/n) can still remember the night she first met Daniel. Forced to attend a party she was sure nobody wanted to be at, she’d finally had the chance to slip away from the crowded scene in hopes to have another smoke. As she brought the deplorable stick up to her lips, sucking in slightly, a voice from behind called out to her. “Ya know, smoking that much will shorten your life-span. It’s killing those pretty lungs of yours.” Glancing over her shoulder to find the source of the voice, she hadn’t recognized the gorgeous man in front of her despite a faint familiarity. “And who are you? My father?” She says, sarcastically. “I ain’t got much of a life anymore, doll. Might as well pick up the pace.” Though her voice was joking, there was a hint of truth to which Daniel could clearly see, making his heart hurt for the young woman. “What makes you think you ain’t got a life?” He asks, genuinely curious to learn more of the famous, (Y/n) (Y/L/N). 
“I suppose I’m jumping back into old habits after my breakup.” Daniel knew about that, couldn’t run from it even if he tried. But apart of him was happy to have at least some slim of a chance to talk to her, let alone date the woman of his dreams. He’d always admired from afar and thought he’d never have a chance, not until now. In that moment, Daniel takes a risks and hold her hands in his, taking the cigarette out and away from her frail fingertips and puts it out before saying, “Times like these make me think that once you reach the bottom, you can’t go any further down. Sometimes you gotta fall to get back up.” And for the first time in months, (Y/n) feels like she can actually breathe again. It’s like the anvil leaves her chest and she can feel, see hope behind those beautiful bluish, green eyes. From that moment on, they were absolutely smitten. 
Tumblr media
Of course Shawn wanted (Y/n) to be happy, to not have hurt her the way he had but he couldn’t help but feel hurt upon seeing the photos of the woman he once loved, maybe still loves. There are more videos of them and he can’t not watch them, gritting his teeth while he does so. Daniel runs after (Y/n) before lifting her up into the sky, her giggle echoing across the field before he set her down, both their cheeks red and rosy. Shawn hates the way he kisses her, the way he holds her close to his chest. But he can’t stop watching. There’s another video. She’s on his back, smiling as their friend is about to capture a photo of them. (Y/n) whispers something faint and he can’t quite make out the words until he glances at the caption. “She said ‘I love you’ to him.” Daniel’s jaw drops before he turns over his shoulder to look up at her with loving eyes. Quickly, he drops her before kissing her passionately. 
“OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO CUTE I’M DYING!!” 
             “actual couple goals” 
“i want a girl like (Y/n), god damn” 
              “LOOK AT MY PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLLS!” 
Shawn tosses his phone to the side, rolling his eyes at the nothing but positive tweets. They were once the it couple. How could things have changed so quickly? Except they really hadn’t. It had been nearly a year after he dumped her. But he supposed seeing her single meant they could still reconnect. But at the end of the day, he’d done this to her. Shawn dumped her and she got back from the bottom and found a man who loved her more than life itself. 
(I hope you guys liked it! PLEASE. FUCKING. COMMENT)

Whoosh Down with your double at Downtown East! | Media Invite
Tumblr media
Welcome to Wild Wild Wet @ Downtown East! 
A place no one would ever thought I would step foot in ever in my life. I have no animosity against the water park. It’s just the thought of me drowning in any form of water that scares me. When I was invited, I was hesitant. In fact, so hesitant and scared that I even asked the organizer,“Will I drown?” - I refused to take swimming lessons during my primary school and look what is coming back to bite me now. 
For those of you who are fans of water parks or have been to Wild Wild Wet before, you will know how crazy I sound right about now. For those who have never been to Wild Wild Wet, allow me to enlighten you - almost all of the water levels are at the maximum of 1.0m. Only the tsunami have a maximum of 1.8m. I am 1.68m tall. Basically, all I have to do is to stand in water to survive and yet I’m so worried about drowning. I didn’t know how crazy I sound till I experienced the Wild Wild Wet adventure to understand “Hey! Water parks ain’t so bad after all!”
Tumblr media
Now to recount my adventure. The day started off as hot and sunny, a typical morning in Singapore. I’ve accepted the media invite to not only check out Wild Wild Wet’s new ride - which will be unveiled later - but to overcome my fear of water*.
*I know having this fear sounds stupid considering we bathe everyday but it’s different for you can control the water in your shower while you can’t control the water in the wild 
Tumblr media
For the event, we were asked to dressed identically to help set a record in Singapore Book of Records for the ‘Largest Gathering of Dress Alike Duos’. Just look at us being so #RelationshipGoals. You too can be #RelationshipGoals / #FamilyGoals / #FriendsGoals and get 1 for 1 access to various of places too. More on that at the end of the post for we’re going to touch on the event happenings first :)
Tumblr media
When we were there - about 30 minutes later - there were already so many duos watching the performance and playing the stage games. Being a Singaporean, food is a vital part of my life. Thus we wandered over to the food area next to the stage.
Tumblr media
Look at how Kawaii this set up is! If you don’t know where I am, you would think that I am at some outdoors party on a open field. Good job Rasel Catering!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like how all the food comes in bite size portion, enabling to try out one of everything. My favorite is the savoury pastry shell. Where it tastes like a cup of pizza. 
Tumblr media
After we had our share of food, we went back to the stage area where they were awarding the best dressed duos. Look at the buns on the girls in swimsuits. Cute! 
Tumblr media

Finally, it was time for a group photo. A total of 111 pairs showed up in matching clothes for the record breaking event. Go Singapore! 
Thereafter we were awarded our certificate and time for us to go enjoy the water park. 
Tumblr media
As you can see on the map, we were near Royal Flush. On the left was actually The Woosh, the new ride which I was talking about earlier.
Tumblr media
For safety purposes, there were different sizes of life jackets and floats around the park. Do snatch it early for everything is on a first come first serve basis. With that being said, you don’t need all this for The Woosh for it’s literally a wet bouncy house. 
Tumblr media
The WOOSH
Standing at 50m long and 4.5m high, The Woosh is Singapore’s Longest Inflatable Freestyle Water Slide at Downtown East. It’s dual lane also allows guests to compete with their Seeing Double partner!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at it. A bouncy slide house! Just don’t bring a needle near it. 
Tumblr media
I know no words can explain how I feel when taking it but a video can. Thus, presenting the Woosh in 1 minute:
youtube
This being my first ride in Wild Wild Wet, I was very happy for it’s a bouncy load of fun with sprinkles of water splashing on my face. Not dangerous at all! Plus you can slide it in so many different directions and ways - as seen in the slide menu below. 
Tumblr media
Presenting the slide menu - a menu to slide. Cool right?
It’s such a shame that The WOOSH is only there for a limited time period - 1 June to 30 July 2017 - in Wild Wild Wet, so be sure to try it out while it’s here. 
After trying out The Woosh, I’ve gained enough confidence to conquer Wild Wild Wet so here are the rest of the rides.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Royal Flush
Located right next to The Woosh is Royal Flush. I never wonder about why it is called Royal Flush until I was ‘flushed’ down the slide. It was so sudden and so much fun at the same time.
Free Fall | Vortex | Kraken Racers
On the other side of The Woosh is a compilation of slides. It’s such a shame that it was not open that day.
With that, we make our way to the entrance.
Tumblr media
Splash Play | Kids Zone
Right behind the entrance is Splash Play and Kids Zone, where you can see family having family fun time with their kids. Educating them that water is nothing to be afraid of - clearly I did not receive such edutainment while I was a young but as they say, it’s never too late right?
Tumblr media
Shiok River
A short walk down and you can see this circular river. It is definitely my favorite ‘ride’ of the park for all you have to do is find a float lying around the water park, plop yourself on the float and just float with the river. You don’t even have to paddle or swim. Just sit there and let the river guide you around. Or if you want to swim or walk on water, it’s all up to you. It’s your choice.
*Shiok is the hokkien for pure pleasure. Not the sexual kind.
Tumblr media
Slide Up
Situated opposite the Shiok river is Slide Up.The queue was long for you have to carry that red float up that ladder. However, once you are up there you know you are in for a very trilling ride. The only feeling I can say about this is that it felt like a 90 degrees drop . Like a rollercoaster! Then the pendulum effect kicked in and the next thing I know I’m drenched. Definitely a ride for the thrill seekers.
Tumblr media
Ular-Lar | The Water Works | Torpedo
In the middle of the Shiok river platform, there’s a cluster of slides. 
Torpedo - the slide with a sudden drop. 
The water works - there’s 2 slides for this. One with a cover which is full blown darkness while sliding and the one without the cover. 
Ular-lar - a gentle-ish ride on a float into a river. 
Tumblr media
Source: Wild Wild Wet
As expected, I didn’t try the torpedo because it is scary. I mean look at it. But you are up for it, don’t forget to shout “Pull the level Kronk!” and when you drop shout “Wrong level!” - If you don’t get it, you might be too young to get it or you just don’t watch cartoons. Here’s what I’m referring to:
Tumblr media
BTW it’s called The Emperor’s New Groove. Back to the water park.
Tumblr media
Professor’s Playground |Yippee!
At the bottom of the cluster of slides is the professor’s playground where occasionally, this huge bucket of water will pour on you. Besides that, it’s great place to just sit in still water and stare or even join in with the kids. Relive your childhood! 
Whereas Yippee is a small wet place where you can splatter water on each other.
Tsunami | Jacuzzi
Right at the back is the Tsunami. A huge wave of water where you can chill and let the wave conquer you. Do remember that it’s maximum height is 1.8m so get a float or a life jacket before you go in the waves. Personally, I felt that if you are at shallow waters as I was, you will be swept to the shore by the waves.
Next to the Tsunami is the Jacuzzi. A great place for one to relax and let all your troubles be washed away.
Tumblr media
Throughout the water park, there are tanning beds everywhere for you to get an even tan. I find that these are not needed for me for I find myself spotting a tan from my swimsuit just by running around the park #FairPeopleProblem.
Tumblr media
For those who prefect to stay under the shelters, there are benches in the shade too.
Overall I feel that the trip to Wild Wild Wet was a fruitful one. It’s a kid-friendly place with a variety of family/kids things to do. In fact, Downtown east is so packed with kids activities that I feel that every parent should bring their kids to Pasir Ris once in a while to have a break. As my first ever visit to wild wild wet, I felt that it was very fun and not as scary as I thought it would be. Not only I get to try out the new ride and I am more open towards water activities now.
For those of you whom are like me and want to get over your fear of water parks or just water in general, you should totally try out The Woosh to boost your confidence on water exposure. Plus it’s a bouncy slide, what can be more fun and safe than that?

Lockers
I like how there are different sizes of lockers which could be reopened multiple times. Personally, I feel that if you’re not rushing anywhere and want to relax at Wild Wild Wet for a long time, rent the locker for a day. Not only there’s a food shop in there but you can re-enter the place if you were to go out for some lunch. However, if you are planning to try everything once only, then 4 hours rental is enough.
Now for the address and opening hours:

What I love about this goodie bag is how everything could be used on the spot. Thank you to Sample Store and the other sponsors for this very useful goodie bag!
