Tulip, coming home from an Avatar meetup with the most devastated look on her face: It's all over. I can never show my face there again.
SMG10: What happened?
Shantae, making sure Tulip actually gets home okay in her current state: She called Olimar "Dad."
SMG10: Oh.
Shantae: And meant it.
SMG10: Oh.
Shantae: And he didn't hear it because there was something else going on, then she lost her nerve when he asked her what she wanted to tell him.
SMG10: Ow.
Tulip, facedown on her couch: Just leave me to die...
#smg4#smg4 ocs#tulip#smg10#shantae#captain olimar#this is a pretty big deal for her#partly because “self-employed teenager travels across the country by herself to find a place she belongs”#doesn't exactly sound like a “currently has good relationship with her parents” kind of backstory#her friends are very supportive of her efforts but they're also massive gossips

The SMGs
SMG-1 & SMG-2
Statues: Retired
Former Avatar: Juliano
The first SMGs ever created, the Prototypes. Created by Admin Byte, it wasn't for the purpose of guarding universes and keeping the meme cycle going, but for the Admin's own gain to mess with universes.
This failed, however, as SMG-1&-2 were kindhearted Guardians to their Avatar, Juliano. However, after an attack on their world, their Avatar died, and they were promoted to Admins. They are now known as Domain and Forum, respectively.
SMG0 & Niles
Statuses: Deactivated
Former Avatar: Fred
In the video game Mage, there was originally only a single SMG for the universe as Admin Byte intentionally didn't tell Admin Lag that two SMGs were needed for balance. However, this wasn't for long, as the God Box created Niles, a false SMG to pair with SMG0.
However, this wasn't to last, as after an attempt to repair his imperfect code, Niles went insane due to the God Box and killed his Avatar, Fred. Following a forced fusion between him and SMG0, creating SMGØ, a being hellbent on finding another Avatar and remaking the fallen universe.
The duo were put to rest by the combined efforts of Avatar Mario, his Guardians, and Fierce Deity Melony.
SMG1 & SMG2
Statuses: Semi-retired/Active
Former Avatar: Spudnick
While they lived in peace with their Avatar for many years, this was eventually broken when SMGØ landed in their universe, intent on shaping Spudnick to be a new Avatar. However, this failed, causing Spudnick's death and the destruction of their universe.
They now reside in the SM64 universe, being mentors to SMG3 and SMG4, and generally doing what they can to help out.
SMG3 & SMG4
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Mario
Their activation has been dubbed the Worst To Ever Happen. Several things went wrong, including the inclusion of SMGØ and SMGs 1&2. There have been many incidents regarding their universe, but they've always come out on top for their Avatar and friends, so they're typically left to handle themselves. They're remarkably close with their Admins, Forum and Domain.
SMG5 (Penta Knight) & SMG6
Statuses: Active
Introduced here!
Avatar: Kirby
SMG6 is a wandering comedian, and Penta Knight is an admirable warrior.
SMG7 & SMG10
Statuses: Active
Introduced here!
Avatar: Tulip
There was an accident when Guardians were being assigned, and SMG8 accidentally went to SMG9. To rectify this (it was already too late to switch it back), SMG7 was partnered to SMG10.
SMG10 is actually the more calm one of the duo, with SMG7 displaying the more energetic qualities of an even-numbered SMG.
SMG8 & SMG9
Statuses: Active
Introduced here!
Avatar: Nimbus
They're a bit more overprotective of Nimbus, as their first memory after landing was Lumiere kidnapping Nimbus.
SMG11 & SM12 (belongs to @duckapus )
Statuses: Active
Introduced here!
Avatar: Tune
They're the first SMG duo thus far to have an SMG (SMG12) fall in love with someone who wasn't their SMG partner.
SMGXIII (13) & SMGXIV (14)
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Sora
Due to certain quirks of the Kingdom Hearts universe, his SMGs have turned out looking like recolors of Roxas and Xion instead of him.
SMG15 & SMG16
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Frenzy
Currently working to help Frenzy work through his issues and repair all the damage he's caused by being a part of the Union of Scorned Avatars.
SMG17 & SMG18
Statuses: Unknown
Avatar: Barry the Blook
Introduced here!
Their current statues are unknown due to the state their universe has been left in following Avatar Barry's departure.
SMG19 & SMG20
Statues: Actice
Avatar: Red the Angry Bird
Not much is known about them, but it's reasonable to assume they were glad to have their Avatar return home following the events of the Legacy Arc.
SMG21 (Kira Nadja) & SMG22
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Arle Nadja/Doppelganger Arle
SMG21/Kira Nadja is the second known SMG to not go by her assigned name (the other being Penta Knight). It's clear she prefers this one.
SMG23 & SMG24
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Laharl
It's pretty reasonable to assume that they do their best to help Laharl any understand the way he acts.
SMG25 & SMG26
Statuses: Unknown
Avatar: Lord Ramagog
Their current statuses are unknown due to Lord Ramagog's deserting of his universe.
SMG27 & SMG28
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Shantae
They probably tease her a fair bit about the time she sat on a freshly painted bench.
SMG29 & SMG30
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Ash Ketchum
Introduced here!
Their activation was rocky due to the interference of Avatar Barry, which was an attempt to stop the universe from coming online. However, it did end up happening, and SMG29 is actually trans.
SMG31 & SMG32
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Captain Olimar
SMG32 always somehow finds ways to incorporate the Pikmin into memes.
HMG1 ("Vee" Haltmann) & HMG2 ("Hex" Haltmann) (belongs to Duckapus)
Statuses: Active/Anamolies
Avatar: Elanore Haltmann
Introduced here!
They are False Guardians, as they were not made by the Guardian System, but instead Susie Haltmann. Originally intended to replace SMG3&4, they now live peacefully alongside them, even if some craziness is bound to happen.
SMG33 & SMG34 (belongs to Duckapus)
Statuses: Active
Avatars: Sally 13 and Cole
Introduced here!
Following Garyboy messing with the universe files, the two universes merged, and now the two SMGs work together. SMG33 is a recolor of Sally, and SMG34 is based on Cole.
SMG35 & SMG36
Statuses: Active
Avatar: Irene
Introduced here!
SMG35 was bold enough to sass a god for not being in the right realm when she first landed. SMG36 just about had a heart attack when she heard that.

So! Some noteable competitors in the Racing Arc.
Mario, Meggy, Bob and Tari in Bob's car.
SMG4 and Luigi in the RV.
Tulip, 10 and Ash & Pikachu in Tulip's van.
Elanore, Barney and Desti in a futuristic racecar Susie and Elanore built together.
Team Rocket in one of their Pokemon-themed contraptions.
Phineas and Ferb in one of their inventions.
Funky Kong in a car made of barrels and such, as expected.
A few other Mario and Mario-adjacent characters also in thematically appropriate vehicles
Dr. Doofenshmirtz, who's car is outfitted with an absurd amount of gadgets, traps and Inators, which he intends to use to eliminate the competition, win by default (his favorite way to win!), and use the resulting fame and prize money to further his goals of taking over THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!!!
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, in a full pirate ship that's been modified to work on land. Perry stows away on their ship and ends up joining the crew so he can go after Doof. (Note: it's specifically the version from the movie [their own movie not the Jonah one], so they go by George, Elliot and Sedgewick instead of Pa, Larry and Mr. Lunt, and Elliot Larry isn't Larryboy Larry)
Dribble, Spitz and Candace. They were late entries and not entirely willing ones. Basically, Candace saw that her brothers were in the race, Urge to Bust took over, so she got in the cab so she could go after them and everyone involved just kind of went along with it. They aren't even fully aware that they're being considered competitors, really.

So I had some Thoughts about Tulip's experiences with Christmas, and how it'd probably feel this year to be back in her parents' mansion. Cause like, Big Corporate Christmas Parties are a Whole Thing with rich people and her family is Like That so when she was growing up Christmas was likely crowded, stressful and-as she got older and learned just how shitty her parents are-increasingly artificial and joyless. And then depending on when she left it's possible that her first Christmas away from All That was just a normal, cold day alone in her van, and if she bothered to go back to celebrating after the events of the game and her SMGs' arrival it was probably just a small thing with the three of them and probably Dale.
And now they're back in the mansion, and even with her rebuilding the place into something of her own, even with 7, 10, Dale and the ghosts there, the old place is just so Big and Empty and full of bad memories, both in general and of Christmases past.
Except, well, this is also the year she met the other Avatars. And Hocotate and Sequin Land apparently don't have Christmas or equivalent holidays (though the Shantae characters are probably at least aware of it due to Meta Humor), so why not invite over Olimar and Shantae and their SMGs and families to see what's up? And yes Louie and his Nana and Sky, Bolo and the Cadaver Siblings absolutely count. And the Ketchums also usually just do their own small thing (well, small if not for all of Ash's Pokemon and the Oaks and Tracy and whichever of his companions that happen to show up), and they want to make 29 and 30's first Christmas special and Miku's whole Digital Idol thing means she doesn't exactly have family and Jet probably has the same deal Meggy did where he has no idea what Christmas even is, so why not invite them, the mansion probably has enough room for most of the Pokemon and the ones that really Should Not be Indoors like the Tauros and Snorlax have plenty of room out on the grounds.
Then there's the space robot kids and their friends who may or may not have Christmas or Christmas equivalents where they're from but Sally definitely wouldn't normally be celebrating considering where and what her job is so they're definitely in, and Laharl just sort of strolls in unannounced like he owns the place with his little cobbled-together family in tow, and Crown, Twister (the Four-Winged Falcon, Frenzy's little brother. Again, Blatant Sonic Ripoff), 15 and 16 drag in Frenzy since this is apparently The Place To Be (and they do have to drag him because he's being Stupid and assuming that given his past with the Union he won't be welcome).
And even with the other Avatars who have their own Christmas Stuff going on back home (or in the case of Tune's gang they just "happened" to need a place to lay low and decided to crash whatever winter holidays Luminos has, with Jazz (a government agent and Tune's Rival/Girlfriend) and 11 also coming along despite not officially being part of the Gang. They're not fooling anyone) they still manage to pop in every so often.
And now when Tulip was bracing herself for a rough holiday season in that big empty house and her painful history, instead she's got demons and genies and super-powered animals filling the halls. Louie and Delia have taken over the kitchen. Twister and Sicily and Olimar's kids are teaching Sally how to play "The Floor is Lava" and a few of the teens and adults and Pokemon have joined in and Miku's ended up as the Lava Monster somehow. Dale and Mimic alternate between talking shop and swapping stories about their nieces. There may or may not be Something going on between Professor Oak and Louie's Nana. Flonne keeps sneaking mistletoe onto all the doorframes "Because Love" but according to Etna is clearly just doing it to mess with everyone. There was an explosion somewhere and nobody's fessing up. Arle's asleep on the couch and nobody has any idea when she even showed up in the first place. Team Rocket somehow showed up but instead of trying to steal any Pokemon they got strongarmed into helping with the food.
It's just as crowded as it used to be, but now it's noisy and chaotic and full of love, and those cold Christmases from her childhood are mercifully hard to remember surrounded by all this warmth.

Girl's Night/Boy's Night
Two episodes taking place at the same time, showing the two halves of the Teen Squad(plus a couple extra characters) splitting up for two very different Nights-on-the-Town in Sequin Land.
For Girl's night, Arle's heard about the various ancient ruins, villainous strongholds and other dungeony locations in Shantae's universe, and convinces Shantae, Tulip, SMG10 and Flonne to join her in her favorite hobby; a good old-fashioned Dungeon Crawl. Since Shantae is familiar with the dungeons around here and is apparently the voice of reason tonight, she realizes that Tulip and 10 are an ex-socialite-in-training who drives and fixes cars for a living and her even-number-SMG, and therefore very much not equipped for this sort of thing, so she manages to steer the group towards what she thinks will be a more beginner-friendly experience. Things very quickly go off the rails.
Meanwhile for Boy's Night, Ash, Pikachu, Sora, Laharl and Desmond are hanging out with Shantae's friend Bolo, mostly daring each-other to do stupid shit because Why Not. One such dare was for Ash to dress up in one of Shantae's spare outfits (because a certain furry yellow bastard told the group about the Ashley Incident, and while they two of them were bickering over that they also let slip about all the other times that happened), and Somehow this leads to them getting involved in one of Risky Boots' evil plots.

Tune: Judge said I'd go to jail if I got punched in the face one more time
Shantae: I'm the last of my species

Lag: I'd rather just do it myself
Bowser: You'll be late to supper

"Everyday.. I choose to be a good person.. because I am..."
SMG10 was sweating immensely as she hid behind the wall next to the doorway that led into Tulip's shop. She looks at SMG7 who was with her, who nods in acknowledgement.
"I am a good person.. because I am good! I am.. a good person!"
Tulip's voice sounded both manic and exhausted. The SMGs look at each other, very concerned. What had set off Tulip?
"If I wanted to.. I could just blow up this whole fucking country! Take it off the grid! Heaha!"
10 and 7 look at each other, growing more concerned. Techinally.. Tulip could do that. She really could probably figure out a way to make something to take the entirety of Renata off the grid.
The two peek around the doorway, still sweating.
"But I don't!" Tulip slams her fists against the desk she sits at. "I don't! I don't!" With each time she says it, she slams her fists against the desk. "I don't because I'm a good person! I'm a good Avatar! I'm nice and I'm kind and I care!"
7 nods to 10, and the even-numbered SMG walks in first, with the odd-numbered SMG close behind.
"I am a good person.." Tulip's voice cracks as she rests her head against the desk. "I'm.. I'm a good person.."
"Tulip?" 10 speaks gently, softly placing a hand on the other's back.
The teen jolts and sits upright, scrubbing away some tears as she did. However, it was useless, as they kept falling.
"What happened?" Her SMG asks, wrapping her arms around her in a hug that 7 quickly joins.
It doesn't take much for Tulip to break. She sobs softly, clinging to 10. "I.. I saw mom earlier when I was picking up parts.. I.. I got careless, and she just.." She sniffles. "She cornered me and.. said I was such a horrible daughter and person.. I.. I didn't deserve to.. li.."
Tulip trails off, but 7 and 10 knew.
"At this rate, I'm throwing her into the damn IG." 7 growls.
10 sighs. "Tulip, you know what she said isn't true."
"Doesn't mean it.. doesn't hurt.."
The SMG nods, holding Tulip close, rubbing her back. "It's okay, Tulip. You're a good person. You're the best person there is."
Tulip sniffles and nods, her tears gradually drying as she rubs them away. "Thanks.."
7 grins. "If you want, I can go and beat them up."
"Pft- No!"
"Aw c'mon, Ash got to punch Archie three times, I wanna punch Daisy!"

SMG10, in the van with Tulip, in the passenger seat: I was reading some news articles, and I saw something about college lowering their tuition fees. Made me wonder, d'ya think college is worth it?
Tulip: .. no, not really.
10: .. you have that pensive look in your eyes again, you know.
Tulip: Pfft, c'mon, you know I don't know big words like that.
10: Tulip.
Tulip: Fine, fine.. I mean, I guess it's worth it? I don't know, I never went. Never could. Parents hated the idea of me going, they wanted me to study in the family.
10: Really? Why?
Tulip, muttering: Hated the idea of their 'ideal heir' leaving.
10: What? Ideal heir?
Tulip: HAHA WHAT DID I SAY THAT? I MEANT.. IDEAL.. HAIR.
10: ..
Tulip: (・_・;)
10: Riiiiiight... (._.)

Avatar: Tulip
Avatar of Tulip's Road Trip! A game about a young, inspiring mechanic and engineer on a road trip around her country, trying to future out where she can fit it.
Absolute sweetheart and gremlin at the same time. She can go from 0 to 100 so quickly it even gives her Guardians whiplash.
A young human woman who wears a red bomber jacket, white t-shirt, black fingerless gloves, blue jeans, and black sneakers. Her shirt is always covered in some sort of soot or dirt.
Always carrying some wrenches or some other sort of tool.
A really great driver considering her game! Also a huge wandering spirit, does not stay in one place for long.
SMG7
Watches over the Internet Graveyard as a sort of regent, where memes can can come to her with complaints or issues and she'll do her best to help them out.
Wears a green bomber jacket with a white t-shirt, white fingerless gloves with numeral for 7 on them, white jeans, and black sneakers. Her cap has a dove emblem on it.
She's actually the more energetic SMG of the duo, constantly doing something in the Graveyard. She doesn't leave often, but when she does, she hangs out with Tulip or SMG10.
A horrible cook. She has to order takeout whenever she's alone.
Please help her she is SO gay for SMG10.
SMG10
Scarily good at her job. Can pump out so many memes in a day that it has concerned Tulip and SMG7.
Lives with Tulip in her RV, helping with keeping it clean and all that.
Surpsingly, the calm one speaks with purpose and always thinks about what she's going to say before saying it. Doesn't mean she can't be chaotic, but she can be calm.
She wears a teal bomber jacket with a black t-shirt, black fingerless gloves, black jeans with the roman numeral for 10 on them, and teal sneakers. Her hat has the emblem of an olive branch on it.
Also a horrible cook. Tulip has to cook for them, and even then, it's a 50/50 shot it'll be good.

Tulip gnaws on the tip of the wrench, staring at the car in front of her. She had been working on it for a while now, but only because she couldn't get her mind off of what happened at the last Avatar meetup.
"Have you all learned your lesson?" Juliano raised an eyebrow as he looked at the embarrassed Avatars (except for Mario, as he was out helping the others track down Depresso). They all refused to meet his gaze. "Next time I leave you all alone, I hope you don't take whatever Depresso gives you."
There was a chorus of agreement, and Juliano sighed. "Thank you." His tone was exasperated. "Now, I'm going to go disinfect the cuts on my back.." he muttered as he turned and walked away.
Tulip glanced up, and her eyebrows raised in surprise as she saw that the holes in Juliano's outfit let her see small patches of.. black and purple on his back.
She glanced at the others, but it seemed like none of them had noticed. Maybe it was still the effects of that weird mushroom she ate still messing with her..
Tulips groans softly to herself as the memory replays in her mind again. What she had seen had been messing with her, replaying in her mind for so long, and despite her trying to rationalize it, something deep inside of her screamed that something was wrong with Juliano.
She growls to herself and bites down on the wrench, jolting when she accidentally bites off the jaws. She whines and spits it out to the ground, frowning.
"Man, that was my favorite wrench too.." she mutters before screeching, feeling someone tap her shoulder.
She whips around and throws her broken wrench in the face.. of Shantae.
"Oh god- Shantae I'm do sorry, oh god-" Tulip quickly scrambles up and begins to fuss over her friend.
"No! No, I'm okay!" Shantae shakes her head, rubbing her nose and forehead. "I forgot you scare easily!"
"Do not." Tulip grumbles, crossing her arms. Shantae giggles and rubs her face before looking at the fellow Avatar.
"Are you okay?" the other asks before gesturing to the car Tulip had been working on. "You've been working on that car since you, 7, and 10 got here, and you didn't seem to hear any of us calling for you."
"Oh! Uh.." Tulip looks away, and she drops her wrench to the ground below and scratches the back of her neck. Her right foot begins to tap as well. "Well, I.. um.. I've had some stuff on my mind..?"
Shantae tilts her head and raises an eyebrow. "Why did you make that a question?"
"Because I don't know if what I saw was real or not!" Tulip frowns, and she starts wringing her hands. She then begins to pace back and forth in front of the car, nails scratching at her skin. "And it just won't leave my mind and it's messing with my thoughts and my attention focus - which I barely have but still - and I just-"
"Woah, woah, woah." Shantae gently grabs Tulip's hands and squeezes them. "One thing at a time, Tutu, I can barely understand a word you're saying."
"Right, sorry." Tulip's fingers twitch in Shantae's hands, and she takes a deep breath. "So.. Do you remember when we kinda.. ate those mushrooms Depresso gave us?"
"I'd rather not, but yeah." Shantae nods as she lets go of Tulip's hands.
"So.. when Juliano was walking away.. I.. looked at him as he was and.." Tulip hesitates before continuing, voice softer. "I think I saw.. missing texture patches on his back. You know, the ones SMG1 and SMG2 have."
The guardian genie pauses before frowning. "Are you sure? Thats a big deal!"
The mechanic shrugs. "I.. I really don't know! It might have been the mushroom messing with me, but still.."
Shantae hums softly before smiling and gently bumping her shoulder against Tulip's. "Well, I guess that we can find out our own way! Maybe if we trail him or something we can figure it out!"
"Are you sure?" Tulip tilts her head. "Juliano barely ever slips up."
"Trust me, he will at some point." Shantae smiles. "Buuuut for now.. Let's go hang out with the others!" She grabs the other's hand and rushes off towards the rest of the Avatars.
Tulip laughs as she follows. Leave it Shantae to know how to take her mind off of things.

Dale: *in-depth explanation of a car model Vitality asked about, clearly happy to talk about it*
Vitality: *listening with a stupid smile on her face, having obviously just asked to hear him talk*
Tulip, completely oblivious: Man, it's cool to see Vitality interacting more! I remember Juliano mentioning that apparently she's kind of reclusive.
SMG7: *Knows*
SMG10: *Also Knows*
7: Do we tell her?
10: No. I hope she'll be able to figure it out.

(Inspiration)
Tulip was fully expecting this to be a mess. The manor, even as she rebuilds it, is still the manor. It was a place of coldness and artificialness, the parties held being all about corporate deals and making connections. Never for family or warmth.
So, sending out the invitations was nervewracking. Especially since she'd yet to introduce everyone to the ghosts.
"This would be easier if you guys could fly, like us," Mia, a red-headed, green-eyed, light skinned girl said, her soft blue jacket and brown shorts with brown boots all hanging a bit as the ghost floats and strings up some lights.
"Trust me, we can fly, but only when it's funny," SMG10 remarks with a smile from the ladder she was on, hanging up some wreaths.
Ryan and Nicholas, twins and both looking identical, black hair with green eyes and peach skin, and a brown jacket with a white undershirt, blue jeans, and black shoes spoke in sync. "But it'd be funny now!"
The twins both shriek as Mia and Tyrus quickly flew between the two, both carrying lights.
Tyrus, with his dark brown eyes, fluffy black hair, and coco toned skin, smirked at them. He adjusted his blue hoodie and blue jeans before lighting kicking Nicholas with one of his white boots. "Be nice. This is the first Christmas we've had with people who care about us in a while!"
Mia, a blonde with green eyes, smirks as well. Her black shirt and white jacket, blue jeans, and white shoes all twisted with her as she flew up to the third floor banister and put up lights. "Yeah! This'll be fun!"
10 frowns softly and glances down at Tulip, who had been pacing back and forth for some time now.
"Hopefully."
Tulip exhales shakily, leaning her head back as she continues pacing. She'd sent out invites, but still. Would they even come? Was she getting her hopes up for nothing?
Was she..
○●○
She was wrong.
Everyone had come, and more. It was hard to keep track of every single person, but she did know that everyone she cared about was here.
Meeting Delia and Professor Oak was nice, and when the mother assured Tulip that Tulip was family and she didn't need to worry about them not showing up, the teen nearly broke into tears then and there.
Seeing Frenzy since the whole Union thing was just a bit awkward, but Tulip was sure to assure him that he was more than welcome. It really wasn't his fault, and everyone understood in the end.
Somehow, Ash's flying Pokémon decided that the banisters were good resting places.
There was so much more, like the small little playful argument she had with Laharl over him showing up unannounced, but she was glad to see her friend here. The more the merrier.
As Tulip stands by the couch, where Arle is sound asleep, she smiles. She grabs the blanket she knows Dale has stashed under there for whenever she crashes on it and unfolds it, and rests it over her friend. She walks around and presses her forehead to Arle's for a moment, whispering a soft, "thanks for coming," before she stands up.
She walks over to the staircase and walks up it a bit, and stands and looks out. The house looks warmer, there's actual conversations between people who like each other.
Tulip rubs at her eyes, some tears starting to pool in her eyes.
Sometimes, it was hard to realize that she had people who cared about her now, outside of 7, 10, and Dale. Fuck, it was hard to accept the ghosts cared about her.
But now? Now she had tons of people. People she considered family.
Tulip exhales, some tears falling. She smiles warmly. "Thank you, everyone." Tulip whispers.

Buffer: Are you alright, Vitality? You've been spacey lately.
Vitality, who has had Dale on her mind: I. Think I need a hard reboot.
----
Tulip: Uncle Dale has been smiling a lot more lately. Do you think him meeting Vitality did that?
SMG10, knowing how oblivious Tulip is: .. yeah, sure.

"Wait, you're WHAT?!"
Tulip's head shot up, and she groans as she hits it against a support beam for a car. "Ow!"
Dale snorts softly. "Careful, Tulip."
"How can I be careful! You said you're retiring!" The Avatar throws up her hands. "After saying for years you're not!"
"I'm getting old, kiddo." He smiles as he walks over. He ruffles her hair as she giggles softly. "I can't keep working forever. Plus, business has slowed down, probably 'cause of new mechanic shops opening in the city."
Dale pulls away, crossing his arms. "I can't keep workin' forever. I need to settle down."
"With someone else?" Tulip looks at him mischievously.
The uncle snorts softly and turns his head away to hide his blush. He then shakes his head before looking back at her. "Quiet, you. You don't get to say anything like that till you get a partner, got it?"
The niece stuck her tongue out at him with a smirk. Then she softened. "So, what're you gonna do then?"
"Probably gonna demolish my old shop, and we can move 10's Pod here." He shrugs. "Then I'll take you up on that room offer."
"Yes!" Tulip cheers, pumping her hands into the air. "Finally, someone with bad sleeping habits like me!"
Dale narrows his eyes. "Your sleeping habits are more than just 'bad', Tulip. I think the only reason you're alive still is because of your Avatar status."
She merely shrugs with a grin before returning back to fixing the car.
He chuckles softly and shakes his head. Kids.
#oc: dale#avatar: tulip#fanfiction: my writing!#!posts!#smg10 and tulip moved 10's Pod under Dale's shop#mostly because a giant usb in the middle of nowhere would quickly get the attention of the government#(not that is hasn't but. sh. that's a storyline for another day :>)
