The Goddess' Challenge

Ta-da! The fic was Umji! With the release of Rum Pum Pum, I spent some time thinking and came up with this. She controlling in this fic, and there's a thigh fuck. Enjoy!

Length 1.7K

Umji x M reader

Having been chosen as the sacrifice to the gods, you knew how this would end. For the betterment of your society, you accepted this fate. Walking up the mountain, you were given the honors of a warrior as you were never to return. You look down the mountainside at the cave entrance to your fellow citizens and the city. Looking back to the cave's entrance, which acted as a portal to the realm of the gods via special rituals done earlier in the day, you make your way in with fear of what you may see before your death comes.

As you enter the winding cave, a light is seen at the end of the tunnel. As you move toward the light with seemingly no source, you see the cave end and give way to a seemingly endless expanse of jungle; at the center of your vision stands the enchanting goddess Umji. Her imperial red clashed with her white and golden dress, accented with green gems. Her hand comes forward as she catches sight of you; using her index finger, she calls you forth. She was the goddess you were sacrificed to; stories; legends came around how she tested men on their skills as a warrior. The sacrifices would continue their fight until they became exhausted and failed to continue.

As you reach her feet, you kneel, “Oh sweet and virtuous goddess Umji, I-” You’re stopped in your tracks as she hits you with a strong kick.

“Who permitted you to speak mortal? Only speak when I say you can. Is that understood?” You nod you’re head quickly and get back to your kneeling position. “I know why you are here; your countrymen have always sent someone as a sacrifice. Yet, they seem to have forgotten what I desired.” Umji squats down to your level, her hands cupping your face as she forces you to gaze at her. “All of your sacrifices have been in vain; your men would be able to return to the mortal realm if only they could accomplish my requests. Are you going to be any different?” A blatant lie due to not knowing what she wants; you nod your head. “I want to hear you say it.”

“I will be different from those that came before.” A devilish smile grows on Umji’s face upon hearing your declaration. She uses her sharp nails to outline your lips before she lets you go.

“That’s what I like to hear, but we’ll see. Follow me.” As she walks away, you quickly get up and walk behind her. After a few minutes of walking in silence through Umji’s jungle world, you reach a clearing. To your surprise, in the center of the clearing was a bed. When the two of you stand before the simple bed, Umji places her foot on the back of your knee, forcing you to kneel in pain. Taking off her headdress, she sits at the edge of the bed and moves the front of her dress to the side, revealing her smooth, hairless honeypot. Looking at her with confusion in your eyes, she answers, “Well? Do your job.” Hesitantly you get close to her lower lips; though it was a second of hesitation, Umji gets restless and pushes your face into her sex. Your tongue pushes deep into Umji; you try to hook onto her legs to get a better position, but Umji yanks your head back. “You don’t touch me unless I say so. You’re only allowed to use your mouth.”

Your instructions are clear, and you go back to eating out Umji. Soft kisses are followed by long licks that outline her pussy. You continue this before eventually giving her clit a tongue lashing; the goddess Umji lets out soft coos of pleasure as you continue. Umji’s sweet nectar hits your tongue, making you hungrier for more. In fervor, you push your tongue inside Umji, your tongue licking at her walls in quick moves. Umji grips the bedsheets as she feels her orgasm coming. A pat on the head catches your attention; as you look up at Umji, her soft smile greets you. “That’s much better; you might be the best yet, but I need to test your endurance. Sit here.” She lifts your face until you’re standing, making you sit where she previously was. Umji removes her dress, showing you the entirety of her beautiful body. Now that you’ve been given a chance to look at her clearly, you’re enraptured by Umji. Her thick thighs were made apparent, and her modest chest with rosy nipples made your mouth water. Catching you staring at her, Umji smiles again. “Enjoying the sight of a goddess in the nude?”

“Yes, goddess Umji.”

“Good, it may be your last.” Umji slices through your clothing with the lightest touch of her nails. Tossing them to the side, your hard cock is revealed to her. “Such a nice size.” She says before rubbing the head with her thumb. You moan at her touch, “You’re not to cum until I say so, and remember, no touching. Understood?”

“Understood.” Umji sits on your lap, placing your cock between her soft thighs. She rubs her legs together, and your cock caught between them endures the torture of pleasure. As she lifts her hips slightly, your cock disappears, enveloped by her thighs before eventually poking out when she sits back down. You try to distract yourself from the pleasure, but the feeling of Umji’s big ass pressing against your hips keeps you from doing that. You can’t help but moan as small bits of precum leak from your cock as Umji continues her test. She starts to pick up her pace, her thighs slick with her juices and your precum coating your cock. Umji laughed at you as you struggled to hang on. Umji lowered herself to have your cock rub against her folds; the added pleasure drove you crazy. Your grip on the bedsheets grew stronger. Umji would change up her tactics for the last minute of your suffering; when she enveloped your cock with her thighs, she would rub her legs together. Having the head of your cock buried in her thighs as she rubbed them together sent waves of pleasure crashing into you. As you felt your cock pulse between them, Umji released your cock.

“You’ve done very well. I’m surprised. This will be the final test. Let’s see how long you last. Move back.” As you move back, Umji crawls onto the bed, like a predator, until she is face to face with you. She kisses you, “I hope you can satisfy me; it would be a shame to get rid of you now that you’ve made it this far.” As she aligns your cock with her sex, Umji rubs the head along her folds. She presses her body weight down on you, your cock slipping inside her with ease. Having been near the edge of an orgasm just a few minutes before, you immediately came inside Umji. Your hot cum flooded into her pussy, as you moaned her name. “Already?” She asks with a laugh.

“I can keep going, please. Give me another chance.” She lowers her head to look you in the eye.

“You don’t have to worry about that; I was going to anyway. I knew you were about to cum when I used my thighs, but no one had lasted as long as you.” She gives you another kiss, this one softer and more meaningful. Umji starts to move again; her hips go at a slow pace drawing out moans from both of you. You watch Umji grind on your cock; the small bumps of her walls rub your cock perfectly. Her walls are tightly wrapped around you, and every time Umji drops down on your cock you find yourself deeper inside her. Umji’s hair becomes messy as she bounces on your cock faster. Umji’s whines grow more frequent as she feels your cock hit her in all the right places. Seeing the goddess before you in the throes of ecstasy, using you as a fuck toy, you’re left wanting more of her.

Umji takes your hands and presses them against her tits in a stroke of good luck. You massage her tits, squishing them in your hands. Catching her nipples between your thumb and forefinger, you gently pull on them. As Umji continued to ride you, the added pleasure of having her nipples toyed with sent her over the edge. “Oh, that’s it. Fuck, I’m going to cum.” Her tone and word choice changed as the pleasure overcame her, and she embedded your cock deep inside her. As her pussy squeezes your cock, you end up cumming again. She milks your cock, taking all of your seed inside her.

After her orgasm, Umji continues to grind your cock as she catches her break. “You did very well. You’ll be the first to return, but I want you to come back every day to satisfy me. You are my champion now. Oh, and we’ll be exploring other options regarding sex.” Umji kisses you on the cheek before becoming incredibly serious, “If you forget to come, you’ll regret it.” After she unmounts you, Umji grants you clothing like hers, white and gold, with green gems acting as accents. She hands you a golden ring with the power to bring you back to her realm whenever you want to by walking through any door.

“I’m grateful for all your gifts, great goddess.”

“You deserve much more for being the first to overcome my challenges. I’ll see you tomorrow” Umji lays on the bed with your cum leaking from her as she watches you leave the realm. Coming back to the human realm, you see it has become night. Arriving at the city's gates, the people are shocked to see you return. You tell a tale of how you overcame your challenges, keeping your challenges secret. You're given a banquet, and the following day you use the ring's power to travel back to the Umji’s realm. You’re immediately at the bed from the day before, Umji lying in wait, a smile on her face as she sees you return.

Mr Friendly - in the attic pt2

The attic was bigger than Maisy expected, bigger than Daddy expected too–judging by how he gasped when they reached the top of the ladder.

“I don’t remember looking up here during the inspection,” he said, more to himself, as Maisy wandered ahead to explore. “You think Papa knows about all this…stuff?”

There was a lot of stuff.

Big stuff, little stuff, old chairs and ratty beds and mannequins and bookshelves overflowing with yellowed old books and dolls and balls and boxes on top of boxes that reached in great towers up and up into the shadowy dome of the ceiling.

Maisy had never seen so much stuff.

They barely needed the flashlight to see it either, though Daddy did hand it to Maisy with a smile and definitive nod.

The big round window at the far end of the attic–the one Maisy knew as the prettiest part of the house from the front–let in so much of the morning sun that everything in that big attic glowed. What shadows she could see were burned into the corners and under the mountains of stuff, so dark they chased her closer to Daddy for fear of being swallowed up or dropped into some great big nothing.

“Did you see your monster?” He asked her tight grip. Maisy shook her head, closing her eyes tighter and pointed at the nearest black hole in the world. Daddy eyed the shadows then knelt down in the thick gray dust along the creaky wood floor and held her shoulders, “Got your flashlight?”

Maisy gripped her flashlight, it was solid and heavy and she gave it a good shake before she nodded, but she didn’t speak. Something in those shadows kept her lips tight.

“Good,” Daddy told her, tapping it before waving a hand out to the room, “think you can shine it ahead of us and keep all that scary dark away for me?”

With a firmer grip, Maisy flicked the switch and aimed the flashlight’s white beam straight ahead. Then she nodded again, eyes shining near as bright as the light, and Daddy smiled and patted her head before he stood up.

“There really is a tonof stuff up here, isn’t there?” He asked the maze of some other family’s memories, tucking his hands on his hips as he surveyed it all. Then he smiled down at Maisy, waiting for her to meet the twinkle in his eyes and added, “There could be anything in a treasure hoard like this one.”

The mention of treasure untangled Maisy’s tongue, “You really think so?”

“Oh, definitely,” Daddy said, and his smile curled, “maybe even something magical…”

“But it’s not ours,” Maisy pouted.

Daddy clicked his tongue, “You’re right, it’s not ours, but whoever it belongs to clearly didn’t want it anymore or they wouldn’t have left it here.” Her head dropped a bit too low then and Daddy sighed before trying to lift it, “How about this, we look inside all these boxes and if we find anything too personal; something we know no one would throw away on purpose…we find its owner?”

Maisy perked, nodded hard and darted to the nearest pile of boxes, her flashlight’s beam bouncing wildly as she tore it open and dug inside and Daddy laughed before finding a box of his own.

As they rummaged through box after box, pulling sheets off old furniture, dusty mirrors and uncomfortably detailed mannequins, the morning light pouring through the window burned brighter and hotter. Soon it swelled from yellows to oranges and finally pinks before either spoke again.

“Lunch break?” Daddy asked, wiping the dust on his hands onto the dust on his jeans.

But Maisy was shoulders-deep into a steamer trunk and didn’t hear him and, when she came up for air, she had more interesting things on her mind than food.

She had found a bunch of old toys, stuffed animals mostly, and a few blankets and dresses in that trunk but what she held as she turned and leaned against it was no toy. It was a book. But not just any book, the tattered old thing her hands was a sketchbook, and though her face was smeared in gray dust and sweat from all the digging…Maisy’s smile was clean and clear as she opened it.

“Watch’a got there, pumpkin?” Daddy asked as he scrunched in next to her.

“Memories,” She whispered, scooting the book over so Daddy could see it too.

Theirs weren’t the only eyes on those memories, tracing the rough crayon lines drawn in vibrant colors, a pale of soft yellows watched with them–eyes so gently glowing they appeared as extra motes of dust glittering behind them. And those eyes shook at what waited in the wide pages of the sketchbook, in the memories the little one holding them had found.

Shadows mixed with the bright sticks and blobs of human shapes on every page, hiding in windows or corners, their pale yellow eyes peeking from closets and under beds. They weren’t drawn with menacing, messy scratches either. Each shadow was tall, looming over all the human shapes around them, and possessed of more arms and hands than one might expect…but their heads were rounded and smooth and their eyes drawn as wide circles or happy half-moons.

If only he could smile, and oh if he could speak.

How he would thank them if he could speak.

She didn’t hate me? He asked those drawings, the memories of the little one responsible bubbling up to fill his shadows with images of her tiny back hunched so tight over crayons and paper. But she ran away…like all the others, and he remembered her screams as one of the big ones she had lived with carried her from the emptied room. The room that was his, the room he enjoyed sharing with her–even when she was afraid of the noise outside it and all he had were shadows to hold her in.

As the new little one reached the last page of the sketchbook, a collective gasp drew him to slip closer, to strain his eyes in the still bright light of the attic. There was a message, scrawled in solid black, in letters so thickly written that the flecks of crayon used to make them still clung to the empty spaces between;

THANK YOU, MR. SHADOW, FOR BEING MY FRIEND

Jallo Update (Jul 14/23)

I implemented the color genders (word list below):

White: Children

Red: warriors/hunters and related things

Orange: Civics things

Yellow: Mining things (subject to change I ran out of ideas)

Green: Foraging and nature things that are not red or yellow

Blue: Water things (fishing & navy)

Purple: Scholarly and "magic" things

Black: Old people

I reworked the syllable structure to be VC(V)/CV(C) (as per an ask)

I made cìs a slur for Nevirans as a dig at Elon Musk

I shortened every non-compound word down to 3 syllables because that is a more reasonable length

I worked out how pronouns work:

Every noun has a gender and each gender has a corresponding particle which goes next to the noun and can be used in place of it if it was previously mentioned.

……………………………………………………

Luang Phu Toh of Wat Pradu Chimphli

Luang Phu Toh of Wat Pradu Chimphli, or official name of Chao Khun Prarachsangwara Bhimonda, was a local of Bangkontee district, Samutsongkram province.He was born on March 27 B.E.2430 to the family of Mr.Loy and Mrs.Tub Ruttanakon, who had another child named Mr.Chuey, the younger brother of Luang Phu Toh.

By the time he was 13, both parents had passed away, and Luang Phor Kaew, a relative, moved him away to stay at Wat Pradu Chimphli, where he was educated by Luang Phu Suek, the then abbot of the temple. At the age 17, he was ordained as a novice, but unfortunately a day after, Luang Phu Suek passed away.

As a result Mr.Klai and Mrs.Pun, Luang Phu Suek’s relatives, decided they would do all they could to support Luang Phu Toh until he was 20, at which time he was ordained as a monk by Luang Phu Saeng (Phra Kru Sammana Tamsamahtahn) of Wat Paknam, at 3.30 PM., on July 16, B.E.2540. Also present as a preceptor was Phra Kru TammawiRat (Chei) Wat GumPaeng. At the time he was renamed as “Intasuwanno”. after Luang Phu Suek, by the son of Mr Klai, Luang Phu Kum the Abbot of Wat Praduchimplee

Luang Phu Toh was a dedicated and merciful monk, highly respected by the locals, but he wanted to learn more about Lord Buddha’s Dharma and magic sciences. Because of his desire and quest for knowledge he actually moved away to Wat Bhoti in Bangkok. It was not long however that the locals pleaded for his return. When Luang Phu Toh had reached the age of 26, Luang Phu Kum resigned from his position at the temple, and Luang Phu Toh succeeded him. In fact he remained Abbot until his death at the age of 68 on March 5, B.E.2524. Luang Phor Toh himself was succeeded by Luang Phu Virojana-kittikun, who remains the current Abbot at the age of 94

Luang Phu Toh was so interested in magic sciences that even before he was ordained as a monk he was learning from Luang Phor Phromma who was then the Abbot of Wat Pradu Chimphli. After Luang Phu Phromma had passed away, Luang Phu Toh studied under many senior monks such as Luang Phor Roong of Wat Takrabue, Samutsakorn province, Luang Phu Nium of Wat Noi, Supanburi province, Luang Phor Pum Wat Bangklo, Bangkok. Moreover, Luang Por Pan of Wat Bangnomko, Ayudhaya province, had introduced Luang Phu Toh to Luang Phor Nong, from whom he learned a lot of magic sciences, so much so that Luang Phu Toh regarded him as his principal.

When Luang Phu Toh began to join the Buddhist ceremonies he also attempted to seek further knowledge. A close follower of Luang Phu Toh revealed that every time he was invited to a ceremony he would touch the sacred thread, and incredibly would know the strength of the magic power, if the power was strong he would enquire as to who created the sacred thread in order to learn further. Luang Phor Toh was involved in many mass chanting ceremonies such as Phra Somdej Luang Phor Pae Roon Rahk chanting at Wat Suthat in BE 2494, 25 Puttawat chanting in BE 2500, Phra Luang Phor Thuad chanting at Wat Prasat in BE 2506, Phra Somdej 09 chanting at Wat Bankhunprom in BE2509, Phra Somdej Roy Pee chanting at Wat Rakang in BE 2515. Even as Abbot of the temple, Luang Phu Toh would spend much time traveling to seek the knowledge that he desired. Beside the lay people, the 9th or the present King of Thailand and the royal family respected Luang Phu Toh very much. One can see from many photographs of the royal family taken with Luang Phu Toh.

In BE2463, Luang Phu Toh chanted the first batch of amulets made of Neua Phong. The most popular Pim from this batch is the Pra Somdej Ka Toh , which is very rare and expensive now. Since that time, Luang Phu Toh continued to chant many batches of amulets of many types, such as Phra Pidta, Somdej, Roop Meuan and Rians etc. All Luang Phu Toh’s amulets are very well-proven to be able to protect people from accidents and hardship.

LESSA - Epilogue 2: Meet.

RAW: Naver Comics (Korea)

Since I’ve posted the first epilogue, I might as well posted the second one.

(pls take with a grain of salt since I’m not 100% fluent in both English and Korean)

[Giggle]

"How far has that Throne hurt many people."

•

'The throne behind me...' 'Was my greed.'

•

[Pu Pum] [Pum]

•

"Like this?"

"No. One Two Two- One Two Two- With this tempo.

[Pum Pu Pum] [Pum Pu Pum]

"Like this?"

"Correct. Keep on going."

•

"But, why don't you reincarnate...?"

[Pum] [Pum]

"Cough-!"

"Hmm."

•

"Lord Ra..."

"What brings you here?"

[Pum!]

•

"Charles Fredrick Show."

"You're not reincarnating?"

•

"What? That's unexpected..."

"If you're gonna reincarnate me, please hold it back a bit."

[Pum Pum] [Please stop...]

"Correct."

"Your sin when you live as a human is too much."

"I don't know how long is this Sabbatical day."

"Yeah. You're right."

"I'm not sure I can relax like this." "Since the number of Small Devils is increasing."

"Brother Remiel wipes them all out."

•

"Because he's basically jobless since the generational shift of humankind,"

"Even now he must be working excitedly."

•

"Was Remiel on duty?"

[Pat Pat]

"But he must be crying if he knows that we come to the beach by ourselves."

•

"By the way, Uriel."

"Why Labbiel didn't come with us?"

[Swish]

"Rayel the Newcomer."

•

"Ah, seriously, are you a stalker?!"

"I'm protecting you, brat."

•

"I really am going to rest, so don't follow me~!"

Marvel Drabble requested by @asadmarveltrashbag (<- everyone go follow the angst queen if you want awesome content)

“You’re getting a vasectomy. That’s final.”

luv u 2 sis 💚

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Warnings: Just pure fluff and sweetness you might die of diabetes

Word Count: 1331 Words

You walked through the market pushing the cart with your four-year-old twin daughters, Brooklyn and Sidney, inside playing with whatever new item you added to the cart.

“Ma!” Brooklyn squealed softly patting your left hand “Can we buy plums too?”

“We’re hungry” Sidney added patting your right hand.

You looked at your daughters with a smile after placing inside the cart the fresh green lettuce you picked. You knew pretty well they weren’t hungry like they said, because they just had a small one so all of you could eat lunch later and everyone finished their meals. You shook your locks chuckling at the puppy eyes your daughters were giving you. These two were a literal copy of your husband from toes to the love of plums.

“Okay, but no more till snack time, okay?” They nodded eagerly happier than ever. “Buck? Can you go get some plums?” you asked your husband thinking he was behind you. “Honey?” When you didn’t get any response you turned around looking for him and your younger daughter. “Hon...” They were here a second ago. “Where’s your father and sister?” Both girls chuckled pointing to their left when you turned back to them, hair flowing around you. You scanned the fruit aisle saw them near the plum stand and made your way to them.

After the sticky price was out, and once he was near the cart, Bucky turned to you, with little Izzy in his arms munching on some plum while she held tightly to his neck, oblivious to everything else. Once he was next to you, he kissed you on the lips, but couldn't contain himself and placed the sticker with the price on your chest and taped it so it wouldn’t fall and stick it properly. You swatted his hand away when he tapped three more times your boobs while you sent him a glare and the twins were laughing at his dad’s antics.

“You’re in trouble, daddy” The twins squealed making Bucky gasp exaggeratedly, making the girls giggle more.

“No plums for you two then,” you husband said taking out his tongue at them making you chuckle, after opening the baby seat and carefully sitting your one-year daughter there, whose attention was fully on the plum, so she could be more comfortable while eating the fruit.

“Daddy! No! You’re mean” Brooklyn whined making puppy eyes at his dad, who was now in front of the girls resting his arms on the side of the cart so he could be eye level with them, while Sidney nodded pouting out her lip.

"I'm mean?" Bucky pouted at them resting his chin on his forearms to look like a sad puppy.

“Noo! You're not mean! We love you tons! and ma said we could have one!” Sidney added begging while grabbing onto one his biceps to kiss his cheek. Brooklyn copied his sister but gave Bucky a longer kiss on his other cheek.

You chuckled at your daughters' way of getting through obstacles and at your husband's playful stone-hard facade because his beautiful eyes were as soft as ever flooded with adoration and love. His four girls had him wrapped around their fingers and he knew it. He had no complaints. If any of you asked him them moon he will give it to you in a heartbeat. But right now, all Bucky wanted was kisses in exchange for the plums he was holding. The twins started peppering their dad's face with kisses, making him let out a soft chuckle. Once Bucky could break free from the assault, he handed each girl a plum that was happily accepted.

After giving them a thousand watts smile, you shifted your attention to the shopping list crossing out the items you already picked, while Bucky moved closer to you. You were distracted with the list, and he took the opportunity to circle your waist with his arm bringing you to his side tightly and kiss your temple. That made your face light up with a smile.

"I'm sad" Bucky whispered in your ear while watching his daughters to make sure they were safe eating the plums. He couldn't help it sometimes he over-worried making sure all of you were safe. His girls were his priority. “She stole my plum” Bucky booped Izzy's little nose but the little girl simply turned away to bite at the plum.

"Would some cereals make you happy?" you asked him hopefully kissing his jaw. He nodded and then turned to you to kiss you properly in the lips, to which you kissed back immediately.

"Cheerios!" Brooklyn squealed, making you break the kiss suddenly being reminded with the task at hand. After all this time, Bucky still could make you forget everything around you by just kissing you.

"Captain Crunch!" Sidney cheered too raising her arms, making you chuckle. Izzy simply made a noise and pointed to her plum.

"What about Chocapic?" you suggested making everyone squeal happily "to the aisle it is then"

Once all of you reached the cereal section, you picked a pack of Chocapic, and also some Cheerios and Captain crunch ones, the girls have been helping you a lot today and they deserved a treat. You also needed some muesli for yourself, to add it to your yogurt.

The brand you were looking for was some steps away from you and you were about to walk up to it when the baby in the cart next to yours started giggling and waved at you.

"I want one" Bucky said looking down at you.

"No," you said softly turning to him.

"But I want a baby" Bucky repeated squeezing your waist. “Izzy’s been ignoring me and the twins are growing up so fast they ignore me too” you could only chuckle at his silliness, knowing very well that your daughters will never ignore, nor stop loving his dad ever.

"You have three babies here," you said motioning to the cart and each girl.

"But I want one" he whispered before kissing you passionately to distract you.

His hands roamed down your back, one hand stopping at the small of your back while the other reached your butt and squeezed making you gasp, allowing him to roam your mouth with his tongue. You placed your hands flat on his chest while he pulled away enough to rest his forehead on yours.

"It's still a no," you said pecking his lips "we already have three babies" you whispered.

"Come on" he groaned a little grabbing your hips to bring you flush against him.

"If you say 'baby' one more time" you picked the sticker in your skin and unzipped his hoodie, revealing the white t-shirt, that looked like was going to burst under his muscles, to stick it over his left nipple "You’re getting a vasectomy." you patted his left pec and poked his right nipple "That’s final.” you slapped his black jeans-clad butt and started walking away pushing the cart.

"you're being mean now, doll" you only took two steps when he was already at your side helping you with the shopping cart, that now was full to the bream.

"Dada!" Izzy interrupted him when he was about to say something else making him look down at her. "Pum!" She held half-eaten plum to you with a smile. You took it from her and took a bite, while she turned to make grabby hands at her dad.

"I take back what I said before" Bucky commented while picking the small girl from the car seat and adjusted her on his arms. She immediately grabbed onto his neck and hair and kissed him on the cheek "she still loves me" He beamed at you before kissing Izzy on her chubby cheek.

"We love you too, daddy!" the twins said together while they moved to grab the handle of the cart to steady themselves.

"How much?" He turned to them with a raised brow in a teasing manner.

"Tons" they answered "but me one more because I'm the older" Brooklyn added.

"Oh, well if we're basing the love on the age" you wondered while resuming your walk looking down playfully at the twins "I love daddy the most because I'm older than you" you joked with your daughters.

"You couldn't be more wrong, sweetheart" Bucky placed his free arm around your shoulders to bring you to him "I'm way older than you all together. And that means that the love I have for my girls is infinite" he smirked knowing that he had won this round. And while all of you chuckled he felt complete.

send me numbers This made me go soft. Y’all my first Loki fic is coming. I love y’all 3000.

feedback is very welcomed :)

Batch of Yellow Flowers

Part two of my story!

@grotesquegabby @post-itpenny Because some of your characters are in this

I apologize for this is a very long part, so I hope I don’t bore you at any point hehe ^^’ There’s just a bunch of things I needed to include and hell, I even decided to include some of the things meant for this part in the next one

Part One /// Part Three

Night had not yet fallen, yet the ballroom where several relatives and servants were all gathered around or in fact spread all over seemed to have a greater light than the sun outside.

Lights were all on and illuminated the grand ballroom, though these seemed to be nothing compared to the lights gently being adjusted as they hung from certain spots in the room. Other lights were on other places, these serving the purple to illuminate the room with colors pertaining to Halloween whilst others specifically made gave off the shapes of pumpkins and ghosts and such.

“No, no, no! I said that no cake right now! The cake is going to be rolled in when we start to sing!”

“Jells, take a breather and just relax.”

“How am I supposed to relax when they can’t follow simple orders!?”

“You’re starting to sound like Mama Carol.” mentioned Cosmos who had been standing next to his sister who impatiently tapped her foot, both watching as two men rolled the large cake back and away into the kitchen where it came from. “How about you take a break from this? I’ll do the telling around here and you can go change into your costume.”

“It’s too early for that and knowing you, you’ll either get extremely angry or be too chill about things.” Jelly walked away from her brother who then ran after her, walking alongside her. “Ugh! That table is not in the right place!”

Cosmos stopped walking and turned to the table, waving a hand before the table moved with his movements into what he could assume was the correct place. He then followed his sister once again, watching as she walked by some ladders that had been set up right next to one of the walls.

“Maggie! Billy! How are you two doing?” Jelly looked up at the pair who then glanced down at her with smiles.

“Perfectly fine. We are just about done with this wall.” Billy spoke as he and Maggie fixed some curtains.

“I would say your grandparents have such a huge ballroom, but it’s not the first time I’ve had to deal with this.” Maggie chuckled before climbing down the ladder, Billy soon joining after so that they now stood in front of Jelly and Cosmos. “I thought both of you would have been wearing your costumes by now.”

“Well Jelly here is too-” Cosmos started before his sister placed a hand over his mouth.

“I’m just making sure everything is in place! Like I’ve said, this is-”

“Ula’s birthday party as she becomes an adult.” both Maggie and Billy finished for her before chuckling.

“Jells Bells. We’ve heard this so many times already. Just relax.”

“Relax is not in my dictionary today. It hasn’t been ever since August. My little oyster...my first baby, she’s going to be-no, no, no. She is 21 years old today.” Jelly rubbed her temples before plopping down onto a nearby chair. “She grew up too fast. One day she was a little doll and now...she’s breaking hearts and bones.”

“It happens to all of us.” Billy sympathetically patted her shoulder before a voice grabbed everybody’s attention, making them all turn to the side which was where the doors to the backyard were. Through the open ran in a figure with a cape flowing behind her.

“Mom! Mom look at me!” sounded Cordelia’s voice before she ran towards Jelly, immediately jumping onto her lap and presenting the costume she was already wearing. “I’m here to kick bad guy butt!”

“Oh Cordie, you look so adorable.” Jelly fixed Cordelia’s Batgirl mask before noticing that two others walked in as well and it was noticed that these were Davey and Schrader. “What are you all doing here?”

“We were helping Schrader with the pumpkins again.” Davey stated before taking a bite from a cupcake he had most likely gotten from the dessert table on his way to his relatives.

“Davey, is your uncle Pepper anywhere around?” Maggie asked as she eyed his cupcake, Davey shaking his head before Maggie grinned. “Then I’ll be right back!”

“Anyways, where are the pumpkins?” Jelly looked at Schrader who was behind Davey.

“The trucks are just outside Mrs. D’Vitt, I’m about to go unload them but just wanted to tell you before so it wouldn’t be a mess.” Schrader motioned to the window besides everybody where they caught sight of trucks filled with jack-o-lanterns. “Where do you want us to put them for now?”

“I say leave them just outside the door you came through and then everybody else can put them into place.” Jelly smiled at Schrader who nodded, then turning before feeling Jelly grab his wrist. “But you, go take a shower.”

“Shower? Do I smell bad?”

“Oh no, but you need to get ready for the party.”

“I’ll take a shower after I’m done with the pum-” Schrader began until he noticed Jelly’s stern look, making him give a small nod. “I’ll go take a shower and change right now.”

“Good, one of the bathrooms is on the right wing and the bedroom beside it is where I’ve put your costume.”Jelly waved at Schrader before he left, though she gave a frown as she spotted some of the servants doing something incorrectly. “Hey! What are you doing!?”

Jelly handed Cordelia over to a now confused Cosmos, both looking at each other before Cordelia giggled, everybody watching as Jelly yelled at a pair of men before Lennie appeared from the snack table. He rushed towards Jelly and carefully pulled her, more like dragged her, aside as he attempted to calm her down.

“So!” Cordelia exclaimed before her uncles and brother looked at her. “Who’s up for Chinese?”

_____________

“I am so proud of her.”

“Of who my love?”

“My Coralina, look at everything she has done. She really is just like me.” chuckled a woman before taking a sip from her wine glass, chocolate eyes admiring all the sights held in front of her and a plethora of several others that filled the large ballroom they were all in. “This is basically like the birthday party we threw for her when she was her daughter’s age. But of course not as good as that one.”

“Of course dear.” chuckled her husband, his eyes trailing on the figure belonging to their granddaughter who was hurrying around the entire place to make sure everything was in place. “There she goes again, just like you wanting to do everything.”

“What did you say? I didn’t hear that.”

“I said she’s just as beautiful as you.” Stripes took a sip from his own glass, this one not being filled with wine but instead a liquid that perfectly complemented his vampire costume. “When will the birthday girl be arriving?”

“I sent for her ride an hour ago, but they were supposed to take her to have a bit of fun. I imagine she will be here any minute now.” Carol glanced at the main entrance that lead into the ballroom, nobody special coming in yet. “Though I must say I am worried for Coral mostly, that poor girl is running around with her husband right behind. I wonder how he’s able to keep up with her.”

“Patience. And I would suppose he’s very much used to it.” Stripes watched as Lennie, dressed in a suit as his face was painted to resemble the doll from the Saw movies. “I understand him completely.”

“Hm?”

“I understand Jelly completely, how stressed and overworked she must be right now.”

“Oh yes. I agree.”

The pair gave a nod to each other with their usual sly smiles, then taking a sip from their glasses as they continued observing everything below them.

_____________

“Jelly-Bean, Jelly, please stop. Jelly-Bean you need to relax.”

“I have to make sure everything is perfect before Ula gets here. I have to make sure everybody is content, everybody is ready to greet her, and-”

“Jelly!” Lennie shouted before finally grabbing his wife’s wrist, pulling her back before she turned to him with wide eyes. “Jelly, please. Everything is so perfect, it’s the best thing ever Jelly. I swear, I would never lie to you about this, you’ve worked so hard and it’s all paid off.”

“But Lennie-”

Lennie lifted a finger which made Jelly close her lips, and he pulled her behind him all the way to a table before making her sit down.

“Now, Jelly, you stay here, okay? I’ll go get you a drink while you sit down and relax.” Lennie told Jelly before patting her hands, even walking backwards to make sure she really did stay on the chair. Once reaching the drinks table, Lennie turned around and saw his dad who was helping out.

“How’s your mate doing?” Cecilio chuckled before Lennie gave a sigh, still smiling however.

“Running around...she’s so stressed, but for no reason. Everything looks great and she even looks great in her costume.” Lennie looked at each of the drinks before pointing to one. “Can you serve me some lemonade? It’s for Jelly.”

“I can tell.” Cecilio motioned behind Lennie, so he turned and saw Jelly already behind him.

“Jelly…”

“Lennie.” she innocently grinned before accepting the lemonade from Cecilio, then giving a frown. “Wait a minute, why are you serving the drinks? I paid others to do that so you can have fun!”

“I’m alright here! I just wanted to help out.” Cecilio shrugged as he served a drink for a guest that came by. “I really don’t mind.”

“I’m sorry but I do. Others have this job, I am paying them for that! I prefer that you have some fun, hang out with the kids you know? Especially for when-” Jelly then stopped her speaking, her nose twitching at the new scent that made her look to the entrance before clasping her hands with a gasp and brightened expression as a new guest arrived.

Cecilio and Lennie turned as well, now spotting that new ‘guest’.

“She’s here!” Jelly excitedly exclaimed before her expression turned into one of terror. “She’s here!”

“Jelly, Jelly-Bean, relax.” Lennie chuckled as he took his wife’s hand, feeling as she had now began to tremble. He wasn’t exactly sure if it was the excitement or Jelly...just being Jelly.

“Lennie, we need to go with her right now!”

“Okay, okay.” he chuckled again as he followed his wife, though he was purposely pulling back just a bit so we wouldn’t rush and crash into somebody on the way towards their daughter who now had a spotlight on her as well as the one who walked beside her.

“Ooooh, she looks so beautiful!” Jelly exclaimed as she now picked up what she could of her dress, walking a little faster now until finally reaching the crowd that was closest and surrounding the pair that was Ula and Schrader.

There was clapping all around, grand smiles, some hoots here and there; everybody was excited and overjoyed to see Ula finally here for the party they all worked so hard on.

“Ula!” Jelly waved a hand before her daughter noticed, then being approached by her and Schrader. Ula gave her mother a tight hug before pulling away wit a bright grin.

“Mom! This...it all looks so wonderful!” Ula laughed as she looked around at everything done just for her. “Gosh, I can’t believe all this! I really, really feel like a princess!”

“But you’re not a princess.” Lennie claimed before being scooped up by Ula who gave him a tight hug as well.

“Oh, dad! I love you both so much!”

“We love you too Ula.” Lennie hugged her back before he was released. “And as I was saying, you’re not the princess tonight. You’re the queen.”

“”The prom queen.~” now added Schrader as he smiled at Ula’s parents. “Good evening Mrs. D’Vitt and Mr. Blueblood.”

“Hey there Schrader.”

“Or should we say, prom king? I see you even slicked your hair back for the occasion.~” Jelly chuckled before Schrader looked away with a blush coating his cheeks, but he smiled nonetheless. “You two better get ready for the coronation later, we’re just gonna have a bit of time to chat before we do that.”

“Sounds great.” Schrader nodded before turning back to Ula, offering his arm. “Shall we?”

Ula nodded and accepted Schrader’s arm before they walked away, still giving a way to the parents who watched with smiles.

“My little oyster…” Jelly sniffed before Lennie gave a sigh and nod, taking Jelly’s hand to give her a comforting squeeze.

“I know...I know…”

_____________

“Ugh...she looks so stupid.”

From a table far from where Ula stood, glared a pair of green eyes as their owner took a sip from a soda can. Right next to the person sat another with a pair of red eyes, these simply staring at the sight that was Ula now embracing her boyfriend before kissing his lips.

“Even Schrader looks stupid.”

The owner of the crimson eyes then glanced over at Schrader who also greeted Atlas, right before Ama came along and hugged her best friend.

“Just a tuxedo and a dress, yet they still have all the attention on them.”

“B-Bubbles?” a soft voice called out to the person talking, green and red eyes now turning to look at a pair of lilac ones. “Is everything o-okay?”

“Yeah, just here.” Bubbles gave a shrug before turning away from the scene in the distance. “Eating.”

“Oh...well, I-I brought you some cupcakes...chocolate ones. Th-that is if...you want them.”

“Oh hell yeah!” Bubbles exclaimed before swiping away the plate of cupcakes being handed to her. “Thanks Arabella!”

“You’re welcome.” the mime gave a small smile as her cheeks grew some blush, but her expression turned into one of regret once her eyes landed on the crimson ones that belonged to her sister.

Cantarella initially had her usual face, until it turned into a glare directed at her sister who got the message.

“I-I’ll get going now.” Arabella cleared her throat. “Might tell Ula...Happy Birthday.”

Bubbles made a weird face at the sound of that, then turning to look at Cantarella.

“So Ella, is that the costume that you’re gonna use on Halloween?”

At this, Arabella looked down before walking away from her sister and Bubbles, making her way towards the crowd of guests. She continued on her way until finally reaching Ula who was surrounded by her friends. The mime hesitated before actually approaching them, but she then reached a hand out to gently tap Ula’s shoulder.

Ula stopped talking and her friends followed, all turning to look at Arabella who felt herself turn red as all eyes were on her.

“Hey Arabella, having fun?” Ula smiled at Arabella before bringing her into a hug, thus surprising her.

“Oh, um, y-yeah. I think so.” Arabella gave a small nod before Ula pulled away from her.

“Oh! Wednesday Addams! What a great costume. Is your sister Pugsley perhaps?”

“No, sh-she’s a dark version of A-Alice...in Wonderland.”

“That’s nice.”

“Yeah...well, I wanted to s-say Happy Birthday.” Arabella tapped her fingers together before looking back at Ula who gave her a grin.

“Thank you, and thank you for coming. I’m glad you decided to.” Ula pat Arabella’s shoulder before the latter gave a nod. “Hope you continue having fun and that I see you around later.”

“Yes, of course.” Arabella nodded. “I’ll s-see you around.”

Before leaving, Arabella gave one glance to Schrader who made sure to stand next to Ula, giving the mime a serious look. With this, Arabella left the group.

A smile returned to Schrader’s expression as he turned to the group and Ula, ignoring...something.

“Hey guys.” Schrader called out to the group. “I’ll be right back, I have to do something.”

“Everything okay?”Atlas asked him, Schrader giving a nod.

“Yeah, just need to make...a call.” Schrader reassured everybody before looking at Ula specifically. “You-”

“I’d like to have everybody’s attention please.” interrupted the voice belonging to Jelly that sounded through the speakers as the music’s volume was now lowered.

Everybody turned to see as said woman stood on a balcony where she was accompanied by Lennie.

“Oooh, it’s time!~” somebody else exclaimed in a whisper, Ula and Schrader turning to see Cecilio standing behind yet between them before he turned to Schrader. “You’re not gonna get hit in the head, are ya?”

Schrader then have a bit of a laugh as he shook his head, whispering back.

“No, or at least I hope I don’t.” he then turned his attention back to Jelly. “I’m not going up there either way.”

“What? Why not?” Ula turned to him.

“I want to respect Atlas-”

“It’s fine.”

The pair turned to look at Atlas.

“Really, it’s fine. Besides, it goes with your costumes and it wouldn’t really make sense if only Ula went.” Atlas gave the two a smile.

“And now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the moment we crown our queen!~” Jelly continued speaking through her microphone.

“Atlas, I’d feel more comfortable if you went.”

“By one vote, our winners are…”

“Schrader, it wouldn’t make sense. It’s seriously okay.”

“Guys, what if both of you-”

Before anybody else could speak, they all squint their eyes as a spotlight was shone on them, specifically Ula of course. Now all eyes were on the trio who felt a sense of awkwardness.

“Lily D’Vitt!”

As triumphant music started to play, everybody began to clap as Ula gave a nervous smile and waved at everybody as she began walking, Schrader having been shoved to follow behind her.

The crowd parted to make a path for the pair who gave a few glances at Atlas, but they soon stopped once they reached the stage area where Jelly and Lennie now where.

Ula eagerly grinned as she stood in the center of the stage, leaning down to hug Lennie after he handed her a flower bouquet. Soon Ula embraced her mother who had placed a crown on her head.

Everybody continued to clap and cheer for Ula as she continued smiling widely, that was until what happened next.

Everybody ceased to clap and cheer for Ula as she ceased smiling widely, for there was a splash of crimson on her which instead made everybody gasp.

Schrader’s eyes widened as Ula was now drenched in what looked like blood, some of his suit and face having gotten splashed on as well.

“What the hell…?” he whispered as he looked at himself and then Ula, noticing her face of shock as she dropped her flower bouquet onto a puddle of red. “Ula-”

From below the stage Atlas watched in shock as well, his eyes traveling up to where he could see drops still fall down onto Ula. That’s when he noticed the bucket that was attached to a rope, the rope being attached to the ceiling, this piece attached, or more like held, by two hands. Their owner was hidden in the shadows of the upper part of the room, and Atlas saw as the hands released the rope.

“No!” Atlas exclaimed before dashing away to a spot where he would not be seen, immediately teleporting to the area where the rope was and he thankfully caught it before it was able to fall down. He looked down at the stage, hearing as Ula gave a laugh.

She had started to clap her hands, a big grin on her expression.

Everybody looked at each other confused for a moment, but they soon started clapping as well before Atlas gave a sigh of relief.

He made sure to pull the rope and was able to grab the bucket before turning around, eyes squinted as he realized that the culprit was nowhere around. Atlas then looked down where Ula was noticing as she and Schrader approached Lennie and Jelly; Schrader appearing to have excused himself before leaving to most likely make the call he had mentioned earlier.

_____________

Now back on the ground, Atlas looked around the ballroom until spotting Ula who had been wandering around to greet the other guests who had just arrived or had not seen earlier.

He made his way through everybody, never realizing the pair of eyes that followed his figure the entire way as he now reached Ula.

“Atlas!” Ula called him before grabbing his hands.

“Hey there.” he smiled down at her. “What are you up to right now?”

“Just saying hello to everybody and telling them that the food is going to be served soon.” Ula motioned to a door that Atlas looked at, workers coming out with trays and carts of food. “So, you should go and sit down to get yours.”

“Oh nice. Where-”

“At the table with our friends.” Ula pointed to a table close to the stage, right beside the one wit Ula’s parents and siblings. “I made sure to make Dante sit away from you so you don’t have to feel uncomfortable.”

“Oh, thanks.” Atlas cleared his throat before he felt a tap on his back, prompting him to partially let go of Ula to turn around and look behind him, as did Ula.

“Basil, hi!” she exclaimed as Atlas stared at the boy who was accompanied by his sister. “I almost thought you guys weren’t coming! With your parents’ anniversary and all.”

“We would never miss your birthday party, Ula!” Flora presented herself and Basil who nodded. “And we’re also in costume! We figure you’d like these.”

“Michael Myers and Laurie Strode! I love them!” Ula laughed before hugging each of the siblings, then noticing as Flora gave a frown.

“Yeah, I had another costume but Basil asked me to wear this one.” she claimed before tugging at her brother’s jumpsuit. “He told me that-”

Basil then clasped a hand over his sister’s mouth before ushering her away towards the crowd. He then brought his hands up and began signing as Atlas and Ula watched him.

“What did he say?” Atlas leaned in towards Ula who’s smile widened.

“He’s asking you if it’s okay to steal me away for a dance.” Ula turned to Atlas who looked back at Basil, the boy giving a slight nod.

“Um, sure. If that’s what Ula wants.” Atlas nodded before seeing Ula step towards Basil who took her hand. “I’m gonna go and sit down with the others.”

“Okay, I’ll see you in a bit.” Ula gave a nod before Atlas made his way through the remaining standing guests. He eventually came across the table Ula showed him and he sat next to the goth cheerleader that was Ama who watched Ula and Basil on the dancefloor.

“How come you’re not dancing with her?” Ama chuckled before Atlas gave a shrug.

“Basil asked to dance with her and it’s not like I’m going to restrict Ula from doing things.”

“Hm.” Ama gave a pleased nod before turning to Atlas. “This is gonna be one long night.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Well, I heard somebody say some...things about Ula...not very nice ones...but also because you know, party ends at midnight and all.”

“Yeah, speaking of that...um, I think I might...leave a little earlier.”

“What? Why?” Ama blinked in surprise as she now sat up straight after having been resting on the chair she sat on.

“It’s just…” Atlas shrugged before shaking his head. “It doesn’t matter.”

“This is your girlfriend and best friend’s birthday party that everybody worked so hard on Atlas. Of course it matters.”

“Ama,” Atlas turned to his friend who gave him a look. “I just don’t think I really...everybody kind of hates me after what happened-”

“Oh would you shut up with that already?” Ama groaned before rolling her eyes “Seriously, you and Schrader are one and the same. You both still think that you’re hated by everybody when clearly you’re here and everybody literally welcomes you.”

“Well-”

“But hey, go ahead and leave your girlfriend here.”

“Ama-”

“I’m not judging. Just do whatever you want.” Ama gave a shrug before turning to look at the table as their food was now being placed in front of them. “She was hoping to spend a lot of time with you today.”

“Look, you guys will be here...Schrader will be here to keep her company.” Atlas turned to Ama who now began feasting. “And besides, I just don’t want there to be any drama.”

“Drama?”

“Yeah, with like, you know.” Atlas’ eyes darted to where Dante and the twins sat. “And I’m pretty sure that there’s others such as Carney. I don’t want to ruin Ula’s big day.”

“I suppose you’ll do the same on your wedding day too, huh?”

“What?” Atlas turned to Ama in shock and flustered features.

“You’re gonna be all, I’m gonna leave early because I wouldn’t want to cause any drama on our big day. But don’t worry, Schrader will be there to comfort her.” Ama mimicked Atlas’ voice in a silly way. “Sometimes I don’t get you guys.”

“Hey guys.” the two heard from behind, turning to see as Schrader now approached the table before sitting down next to one o the twins. “Look who I bumped into on the way.”

“Hi Henry.” Atlas nodded as said person sat in between Ama and Schrader.

“Hi.” Henry gave a bit of an awkward wave. “How are you all doing?”

“Just, dandy.” Atlas peered at Ama for a moment who casually drank her soda, pretending that she didn’t notice his stare. “Anyways, everything okay with that phone call, Schrader?”

“Hm?” Schrader turned to him before quickly nodding. “Oh, oh yes of course.”

“Where’s Ula?” Henry then asked the entire table, right before feeling hands on his shoulders as somebody whispered right in his ear.

“Right here.~”

Henry jumped in his seat before turning as he heard some quiet laughs, his cheeks burning red as he spotter Ula, this making him jump again upon noticing her appearance.

“T-that’s not-”

“It is blood.” Ula wiped one of her arms with a finger. “It’s the blood of the last guy who bothered Ama.~”

“No it’s not.” Ama playfully rolled her eyes before Ula facepalmed, then ignoring it.

“Yeah, I’m just kidding Henry. I’m glad you actually came.” Ula smiled at Henry who gave a bit of a nod and smile.

“Thank you for inviting me.” he replied before Ula air-pat his shoulder to not ruin his outfit with the blood on her, though the one on her hands had been wiped onto somebody named Basil.

“You know it’s no problem, you’re a friend.” Ula grinned at Henry. “But anyways, I’m going to have to leave you guys because I need to go eat and then check up on the other tables. If I don’t, my mom’s gonna do it and she might make a fuss if she sees even a fork missing.”

“See you around.” Ama waved at her friend before turning to Henry who was still blushing, especially with her gaze right on him. “So Henry, what have you been working on?”

“Oh, you know,” Henry gave a small shrug before nervously coughing. “The...usual stuff.”

“You ever need a hand with that stuff, you know I’m glad to help.” Schraer added into the conversation before Henry nodded, especially since this wasn’t the first time Schrader had offered some help.

“Thank you. Have you been up to anything lately?”

“Me? I had been building this one thing for a while, though I wouldn’t necessarily call it building.” Schrader gave a bit of a shrug. “It’s something for Ula.”

“For Ula?” Atlas turned to Schrader. “May I ask...what it is?”

“I’d rather keep it secret for now, especially since I’ll be showing it to her after this.” Schrader gave a bit of a smile. “You’ll see it soon though.”

“Oooh! Is it the c-” a voice exclaimed before Schrader immediately turned and brought a finger up to his lips, everybody spotting Cordelia who now stood next to Schrader’s chair. “Oh! Right!”

Everybody soon greeted Cordie who invited herself onto Schrader’s lap, casually sitting there before turning to Atlas.

“You’re gonna dance with my big sister, right?”

“Oh, yeah, of course. Just later when we’re done eating.” Atlas slightly nodded before Cordelia turned to Schrader.

“You too, right?”

“Actually, I was hoping I’d be able to dance with you after we were all done eating.” Schrader smiled at Cordelia who’s face beamed with a gasp.

“Yes!” she cheered, then hopping off Schrader to run back to her family which made him chuckle.

“You’re gonna have Ula all to yourself tonight if Cordie steals everybody away.” Schrader joked to Atlas who then made a bit of a face, Schrader catching this. “Something wrong?”

“I...I’m not gonna stay the entire night…”

At this, Schrader made a weird face as he and Henry stared at Atlas in confusion.

“Something wrong at home?”

“No, it’s just-”

“Atlas has to visit his grandparents, that’s all.” Ama interrupted. “He promised he’d bring them some cake and treats from here.”

“Right…”Atlas slowly nodded.

“Oh, I see.” Schrader nodded as well. “Then, I don’t suppose you wouldn’t mind if I stole Ula away after the party? It’s just so I can show her the gift I worked on for her, I couldn’t exactly bring it.”

“Of course I don’t mind.” Atlas softly shook his head. “I’m not going to do very much, and I imagine she’d go and rest after a long night.”

“Yeah, I suppose.”

_____________

After a few hours of partying, Ula was once again on the dancefloor, and once again was she with Basil.

“You know, I have a feeling this isn’t the first time you’ve worn that costume.” Ula giggled to herself as she admired the boy’s costume once again.

Basil responded by giving a nod that made Ula chuckle.

“I mean, I don’t blame you. Michael Myers is a really, awesome guy.” Ula’s cheeks now had a tinge of bush on them as she bit her lip before whispering. “And very dreamy.”

Basil once again nodded, then glancing up as a new song played, this one slower than the last. He looked back at Ula who gave a nod and they repositioned themselves, Basil still leaving a hand out to sign to Ula.

“Will you dance with Schrader?”

“Maybe later, he’s dancing with Cordelia right now.” Ula motioned to the side where Basil saw Cordelia being carried by Schrader who slow danced with her.

“And Atlas?”

“He’s...talking to Ama and Henry, I think. Oh, they two are actually dancing…” Ula looked around, not being able to find Atlas. “But, let’s just dance for now, yeah?”

Basil gave a nod before holding Ula closer, his nails slightly digging into her back but not enough to harm her. If anything, it was more of a secure hold.

“Basil?” Ula called out to him as she sensed that something was off about him.. “Are you okay?”

As always, Basil nodded before Ula held his cheek.

“Are you sure?” she asked before Basil stopped dancing as Ula followed, and it took him a while before he eventually nodded again and held Ula as he did earlier.

Though Ula was still not convinced, she positioned herself as well before they continued to slow dance until the song ended. Right then, Basil pulled Ula into a hug before putting his head on her shoulder, holding her tightly.

Ula was confused, but nonetheless, she hugged him right back before petting the back of his head and then his back. Something was off about him and she couldn’t tell what, so she decided it would be best to stay that way until Basil felt the need to pull away. And that came a while after, and it was a long while.

“Basil, you know you can talk to me if you need anything, okay?” Ula whispered to the boy as she held both of his hands, Basil shutting his eyes for a moment before responding like before. “You’re my friend, I care about you.”

“Thank you.” Basil signed after having taken his hands away. “Excuse me I have to check on Flora.”

“Oh, okay then.” Ula then watched as Basil walked away through the crowd of guests, and she turned around before coming face to face with Atlas. “Oh! There you are.”

“Here I am.” Atlas replied before feeling as Ula took his hands in his.

“Can I have another dance with you?” she asked with a grin, Atlas giving a small nod before he and Ula got into position for the current slow song.

“Ula, I uh...look, I don’t want you to take this personally.”

“Is something wrong?” Ula gave Atlas a look of concern before he shook his head.

“No, no. Everything’s fine, I swear.” he reassured her before releasing a sigh. “I just...I’m gonna have to go in a bit.”

“Go? Like, you’re leaving?”

“Yeah, I just wanted to tell you first.”

“But...why?”

“It’s some stuff with...my grandfather.” Atlas mentally hit himself for the lie, already knowing that the truth would have further hurt Ula.

“Oh...I understand.” Ula nodded before sadly looking down. “I-”

“Ula!” somebody shouted, Ula and Atlas turning to the side to then see that it was Jelly. “Ula! It’s time to cut the cake!~”

“Is it-”

“Of course! Now come on, come on! Go onto the stage and I’ll be there in a bit.” Jelly hurried her daughter, staying in place before looking up at Atlas. “Atlas.”

“Yes, Jelly?”

“Just so you know, I don’t hate you. I don’t dislike you either, I like you a lot.” Jelly smiled before leaning in closer. “But what did you do this time to upset Ula?”

“I-I-”

“I sensed it from all the way in the front yard. So tell me.”

“I just s-said I had to l-leave early.” Atlas nervously stuttered out as Jelly blinked with her same smile.

“Ah, I see. Well then, sorry about that.” Jelly pat his arm. “Well, make sure you stay in time to get a slice of cake, ‘especially’ for your grandparents.”

“Yes, of course.” Atlas nodded before following after Jelly who soon climbed onto the stage area, now standing next to Lennie again as Atlas was on the ground below.

“May I have everybody’s attention please?” Jelly spoke into her microphone, the music now stopping as everybody turned to her. “I believe that it is now time to sing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.~”

Everybody’s attention was now on Ula who stood in the center of the stage, her siblings and parents standing beside her. All eyes watched as from one side of the stage, two workers rolled in a table with a large cake that made Ula’s eyes widen and her jaw drop. The pumpkin at the very top was then lit up, right before everybody began to sing to Ula who felt her eyes swell with tears. Once done, Ula leaned in to blow the candle out before everybody clapped and Ula embraced her family, then being released as she was handed a large kitchen knife to cut the cake.

Soon enough, cake slices were distributed to all the tables after guests sat down again, the only one who was still standing being Atlas. He stood near the stage, now with a box in his hands.

“Hey, here’s your slice.” Ula approached him before offering two plates of cake. “And here’s for your grandfather. I wasn’t sure if you wanted to bring him anything else, or your parents.”

“I’ll grab some things on the way out, don’t worry about it.” Atlas sighed again as he managed to take both plates in one hand, using his other to hand over the gift box he held. “I wanted to personally give this to you before I left.”

“Oh, you didn’t have to.” Ula smiled before gratefully taking the box as she noticed that the colors were similar to those of Alice. “Do you want me to open it right now?”

“Yeah, well, if you want to.”

“I’ll open it.” Ula untied the ribbon that she placed onto the stage beside her, then opening the box to squint her eyes to figure out what the papers inside were. “Is it-”

“Canis Major owns a rough draft of Alice in Wonderland and it has Lewis Carrol’s notes and such in it.” Atlas explained before flipping over one of the pages. “I unfortunately couldn’t get it for you, but I was allowed to make photo copies of it for you.”

Ula’s eyes scanned the papers for a while as she read what she could of them, then setting the box down and taking away the cakes from Atlas’ hands to place them beside the box.

Atlas was confused for a moment, right until he felt as Ula grabbed his shoulders and quickly pulled him down into a kiss. It surprised him for a bit but he then melted into the kiss, shaky hands reaching out to grab Ula’s waist as they remained that way for a few moments. Soon after, they pulled away before Ula kissed Atlas’ nose with a giggle.

“Thank you, I love it.” she whispered before nuzzling her nose against his. “And I love you.”

“I love you too.” Atlas breathed out before the two completely pulled away, Atlas grabbing the plates and Ula her gift. “Well, I’m gonna go say goodbye to everybody and...make my way out.”

“Okay. Thank you for coming. Stay safe.” Ula called after Atlas once he walked away after having given her one last hug. “Call me when you get home.”

“I will.” Atlas chuckled to himself, waving to Ula before he was eventually out of sight.

As the night and party was now coming to a close, Ula sat alone at one of the tables as guests had made their way out of the party if they hadn’t already.

Her eyes scanned the room until landing on the dancefloor where she found her parents slow dancing with her siblings. Sister dancing with dad. Brother dancing with mom. They all looked so happy...she was too but ...there was always that piece...missing.

“Hello, my darling.”

Ula looked up as a man now stood in front of her, and she slightly smiled.

“Hi Jamie.” she then saw as the man held his hand out to her whilst giving a slight bow.

“Will the birthday girl do me the honor of giving me this last dance?” James asked before Ula nodded, taking his hand and letting James lead her to the dancefloor. “How have you been enjoying yourself, darling?”

“This whole day and night was wonderful.” Ula answered. “I’m so grateful for everything everybody did, so thank you James.”

“You know I would do anything for you.” James gently squeezed Ula’s hand. “Ula, you...you have grown into such a beautiful, little lady.”

“Thank you.”

“I just...I wanted to say that even though we had a very, horrible beginning...that I have enjoyed your company and am thankful for all that you have done or me. Event though I...I, I h-”

“James, that wasn’t you.” Ula shook her head before James gave a bit of a chuckle.

“What I am trying to say Ula, is that even though we are not family...I am so, very proud of you. You gave me a chance to better myself when not many others would, and I...I do not know how else to thank you for such acts of kindness.” James looked at Ula who bit her lip in order to prevent herself from showing too much emotion that she would have liked. “Anybody is fortunate to have you in their life Ula, I know I am. And as I mentioned before, you have grown into such a lady that I have grown to be very proud of.”

“Oh, James.” Ula let go of his hand to wipe her eyes. “Stop, you’re gonna make me cry.”

“I only tell the truth.” James chuckled before using a handkerchief to softly wipe Ula’s eyes. “You deserve all the good in the world. You are such a strong and courageous one and you stand back up no matter how many times you fall. You are such an admirable lady Ula.”

“James…”

“I just need you to know these things, just in case you ever forget darling. I am so glad that I was given another chance at life, and especially to share it with you as you grow and continue to bloom into the wondrous flower that you are.” James smiled at Ula who accepted the handkerchief he offered to wipe her eyes again. “I know that the night had come to an end, but I wish you a Happy Birthday.”

Ula then pulled herself away from James to wipe her eyes that continued to pour out tears, right before she felt him pull her into a hug that she instantly returned. The girl buried her face into him until they eventually pulled away, James wiping her eyes once again.

“Thank you f...James.” Ula wiped her eyes one last time. “That...that was very sweet ...I'm so glad...I...I don’t even know what to say….”

“That is alright.” James tucked a strand of Ula’s hair behind her ear. “You do not need to say anything.”

Ula nodded before she and James turned to the side, seeing as Schrader approached them.

“I’m not, interrupting anything, am I?”

“No, we are just about done.” James turned to Ula who nodded in agreement. “I was saying my wishes to Ula is all, then I will help with the cleaning around here.”

“As long as my mom’s here, you won’t be able to do that.” Ula giggled before James gave a shrug, then giving Ula one more hug before kissing her cheek.

“Happy Birthday, my darling.”

“Thank you.” Ula waved to James who then made his way out, so Ula turned to Schrader who gave her a smile. “I’m surprised you haven’t left yet.”

“I have to stay and protect the queen.” Schrader chuckled as he and Ula smiled at each other. “Hey, what do you plan on doing once you leave?”

“Well, I’m going to go home, take a bath, and probably sleep for twenty-seven years if I don’t watch Halloween and swoon over Myers.” Ula joked with a shrug. “A clown’s gotta sleep.”

“Before you go into your deep slumber, would it be alright if you came with me...somewhere?”

“Somewhere? What are you doing to do, kidnap me?” Ula laughed before Schrader playfully rolled his eyes.

“I just need to show you something is all.” he then motioned to her parents. “Your parents said it was alright, especially because they don’t want you cleaning around here.”

“Say that to my mom.” Ula stuck her tongue out. “But uh, where do you plan on taking me, Mr. Sage?”

“That would be a surprise, Ms. D’Vitt.” Schrader grinned.

“Oooh, a surprise. That’s new.”

“And if you want, we could also go check up on Atlas.” Schrader suggested before Ula smiled and nodded.

“I like the sound of that.”
