chainsaw pinkie

ive made a few of these bingo sheets and theyre fun so i decided to make one not just for e3 but also JUST for splatoon 3 (not just for e3 but for like the whole lifetime of the game). also heres my updated list of characters id like to see in smash, ordered generally by which id like more and/or think are the most realistic

since min min got in i took out helix, and since i couldnt decide whether to add in waluigi or madeline i added another row (realistically i dont think any indies are getting in but i threw some in anyway). also i was like “oh yeah maybe theyd put in a gen viii pokemon” so i threw in hatterene since thats one of my favorites.

also as for waluigi (and shovel knight for that matter) i think it would be nice to see an assist trophy get in just to break that rule. also i remember being super surprised he wasnt in brawl (back then i thought he and wario were equally important) and even though that was based on a wrong impression ive still felt like he should be in there ever since

notes about the bingos under the cut

really is about time for those n64 games, especially now that mario is dead so theyre free to release sm64 on it. game boy games would be nice sometime too

would also make sense to include banjo-kazooie in that, nintendos had a good relationship with microsoft lately and the total absence of anything banjo-kazooie on the switch is odd since it’s a dlc character (every other one has a game on switch they can use for cross-marketing, even if joker’s took a while) and i think the best explanation for that would be that theyre holding off for the nso n64 app (this is easiest from a technical standpoint because all they have to do is make a deal to use the roms)

when are they putting octolings in mk8d

xenoblade chronicles x is one of the only wii u games left that they could port (aside from ones that wouldnt make much sense like splatoon and ssb4) so i guess that might as well happen sometime. also monolith soft might be doing something else besides helping with splatoon 3

im not ready for metroid prime 4 (im over halfway through mp2 and therefore the trilogy as a whole) but it’s been a while, they might show it and it could even come out this year

hal apparently recently hinted at a new kirby game or something

the upgraded switch is obviously going to be called the Nintendo Switch ͥ  since they already did the ds lite so theyre clearly naming everything in the family after the ds family, theres absolutely no flaw in this logic. idk if theyre showing it, but unlike 2019 they didnt say they werent showing new hardware (just that they were showing software, which could be taken as denying rumors, but they sometimes specify when certain things arent being shown)

metroid prime trilogy also might come this year. would make sense to release it before mp4 since not everyone is going to buy a wii u to get it (and at this point that doesnt get nintendo any money since they stopped making them)

where is detective pikachu 2. i hope it has the blue pikachu from that first tease they gave us in like 2014 (2013? that was a loooong time ago idk)

they said this was MOSTLY 2021 so i am absolutely getting my hopes up for splatoon 2

the two sinnoh games could likely be there

would be super cool if oddity came to switch. and almost as ironic as megalovania getting into smash

we havent seen the botw sequel for a couple years so we’re kind of due for an update on that

it’s ace attorney’s 20th anniversary this year so maybe theyre doing something. theyre already porting those games though so idk. maybe he’s getting in smash

whats with that watermelon mario render

i held off on watching a playthrough for ndrv3 on the off chance it came to switch and i could play a dangan ronpa game for real for once but it’s now been 4 years and we just passed the 10th anniversary of the series (albeit during a pandemic when i wouldnt expect them to have done anything) so it would be cool to see the series come to switch. i think if it still doesnt after this though i’ll just watch the playthrough, 4 years is long enough. amazed ive avoided spoilers this long, i still know next to nothing about the game

im about done with acnh but im still waiting on those splatoon items. and i ran out of storage in february so i need more of that too

nintendo did stuff for zelda’s 30th anniversary so i doubt theyre forgetting the 35th. maybe wwhd/tphd ports, idk

been a couple years since fire emblem, intelligent systems is probably up to something besides planning yet another paper mario spinoff

miyamoto forgot pikmin 4 in the oven 6 years ago and it got burnt to a crisp and thats why it hasnt come out yet because he had to start over

and splatoon

the inklings scared daft punk into quitting so now that theres no competition in the robot musician scene they should have a daft punk style group

i waited and waited and neither of my top two splatoon stages (flounder and d’alfonsino) came back in splatoon 2 so i hope just because splatoon 3 isnt in inkopolis doesnt mean they still wont return

would be sick as hell if there was a real hide and seek mode instead of just sticking to your own rules in private battles. havent played that since 2015 but it was super fun

show us the effects of the chaos world

i wanted mc craig to have a song in octo expansion and they didnt deliver. heres another chance

splatnet 3 baby

cant wait for nogami to do a funny 3 pose

abxy came back for splatoon 2.... am i gonna be that lucky again...?

salmon run doesnt make sense if youre friends with a smallfry but they could either change the story context (you just fight “evil” salmonids?) or replace it with an equally fun co-op mode

amiibo!!! i think i said this before but they should label them by weapons if these cephalopods dont have genders, would make more sense (the gendered ones had different weapons anyway)

returning characters!!!! would like to see everyone have a role of some kind

maybe #GearForAll wasnt successful in getting the emperor/spy/mecha gear, but perhaps theyll at least consider not making that stuff exclusive this time around

squid girl gear should be back. and they should call it a dress instead of a tunic because its a dress. and theres no gender now anyway

as ive said before... TRIPLIES!! you hold one in each hand and another in your mouth. and you can spin around like the tasmanian devil

remove splatfest tee annoyances: you should have a prompt at the end of a splatfest to pay to scrub your tee (to make sure you get the chunks) also it should be on a neutral brand so you dont end up with an overabundance of ink resistance up (or whatever else)

better online and cloud saves would certainly justify having a second splatoon game on the same console, as much as im loving that it exists

hopefully theres a global testfire again

sooner or later the workers will rise up and kill mr grizz

remember in splatoon 1 where if you had squid beatz (via the amiibo) you could “play” it in the lobby and change the music? then you were stuck listening to only bubble bath in splatoon 2? why did they take that option away they should bring it back

looking at those apartment buildings in the trailer i think it would be cool if you had your own room and could decorate it

an octavio redemption arc would be fun to see. in the manga he stole the zapfish because the octarians had an energy crisis, and in the end they worked out a deal to share the electricity

Omfg tell me more about the kidnapping story

ALriGHty then FriEnd. Here we go. So I live in California generally by San Francisco, but this summer I flew to Montana (If you’re not from the US, it’s about 2000 miles away, right below Canada) by myself to spend 6 weeks with my extended family that I rarely get to see. So It was like August 1st or whatever, it was a tuesday. And let me clarify, Montana is like the 3rd biggest state or some shit but it is literally Cowboy™Hell™. Their capital city Helena (where we were might I add) only has a population of 31,169. Now, I cant speak for all of y’all reading this, but that is small as fuck. I’m not gonna tell you where I live, but the population of my SMALL city is 84,950. AND MY CITY IS TINY. Like binch get some people. Anyways,,, so I was staying with my cousin Mackenzie and we told her literal trash piece of a mom that we were going to stay the night at her friend Olivia’s house. So we went to Olivia’s and did our makeup and fucked around and decided we wanted to go out. So where do you go when you’re in  Cowboy™Hell™ with population of 31,169? Walmart. So at this point when we are done fucking around and gettin ready and shit, its like 10pm. No matter where you are in the world, all Walmarts are the same. e v e r y w h e r e. When you step into a Walmart you get that feeling and it’s what keeps the world together. So when we go to Walmart, we literally fuck around there for like an hour, and we get some Rockstar energy drinks bc what’s more suspicious than 3 teenagers,, one with bright ass dyed red hair (me,,),,, buying a bottle of chemicals to consume at 11pm,, :)) So let me clarify, there is a “city”-wide curfew from 11pm to 5:30am,, and my cousins terrible excuse of a mom doesnt know we are out. So we leave walmart and we just chill in Mackenzie’s (cousin) car deciding wtf we should do. And then we remember, we know someone with a cute ass dog. This dog is literally the cutest dog anyone has ever seen, not even exaggerating. She is like a 6 week old Australian shepherd mix and she looks like the physical embodiment of if Trump got impeached (the literal best thing in the world). So this chick who owns this dog let’s us come meet her so we can like pet sit the dog for the night. So obviously, we go get this dog,, i mean,,,,, who wouldn’t want to be with the cutest dog  e v e r. So we go get this dog and we were just chillin and talking to the girl for a while so now its like 12am. So now there’s just 3 suspicious looking teenagers with literally nothing to do in  Cowboy™Hell™. And now we have a dog. So let me tell you about Olivia real quick. She has been living off energy drinks for the last 3 years, she’s not the BIGGEST fan of the dog (for some reason..), and her life goal is to go take pictures on all of the statues in  Cowboy™Hell™ with a population of 31,169. And thats what we go to do. We drive downtown and take this cute ass puppy who is no bigger than a football and we start walking around downtown. Now,, as much as I love this dog, I said we probably shouldn’t take it because she can’t walk for that long,, but no,, Kenzie wanted to take her,, So we did. So we walk around with this cute ass dog downtown at like 1am with no one else there and no form of protection,, i know,,,,, smart. In Cowboy™Hell™, there’s a large statue of a propeller on top of a small hill in like the middle of downtown. So we all start walking up this hill so Olivia can achieve her life goal,, well the dog was getting tired or something because it kept like stopping on it’s way up. So Olivia and I went up the hill to the propeller while Kenzie stayed with the dog and tried to get it to come. About 2 minutes after we went up the hill,, Kenzie came running up to the top holding the dog and saying “dude there’s a guy coming up the hill”,, none of us actually thought this was fucking terrifying bc there’s just some random ass guy at 1am,,, but we are all antisocial fucks so obviously talking to him was what we were worried about. But just as Kenzie told us, we saw the guy which freaked tf out of her because she said he would have had to RUN,,,, to be that close to us that soon. So you know when you’re chasing your sibling and theres one of you on each side of the table or the couch or whatever? yeah,,,, that’s what we did with this guy,.. We attempted to ‘hide’ behind the propeller (it was literally the most pathetic thing i’ve ever done, we were all laughing and joking like “oh fucc he’s probably a murderer lmao” (as we needed to be fucking quiet) and as he walked by he said something but none of us know what he said. it was really short but idk. So he went into this tunnel that’s filled with graffiti that’s literally right behind the propeller statue and then we actually had some logic and were like o shit we should probably go,,,,,, so we all like ran down the other side of this hill,, and let me remind you,, we are still holding this goddamn dog,, that i said we shouldn’t take.. We were all laughing like omg we are gonna get raped lmfao (which we shouldnt joke about but some creepy ass dude just walked by us at 1:30 am like tf). So we were just chillin and then we notice, this guy started walking down the hill. Towards us. Now we are actually creeped the fuck out and we starting to think like oh shit is this guy actually following us,, so we start walking away, making sure to keep looking at him to see if hes still following us. Okay, sidenote; I currently have a balloon tied to my wrist (i found it while climbing statues earlier), I am holding a book that we also found, Olivia is holding the dog because the puppy can’t run with us, and Kenzie is holding a book and Olivia’s energy drink. It’s 1:30 am in the middle of  Cowboy™Hell™ population 31,169 and some guy is now following us. But we wanted to make sure he was following us, so we went around a building and he also went around us, confirming that he is indeed,, a complete psychopath. So we run around the building to the other side and we check to see if he’s still there. Also,, this  e n t i r e  time, we only ever saw him walk. He never ran. Which lowkey made it even MORE fucking terrifying. So me, having common sense, think O SHIT, THERE’S SOME RANDOM ASS GUY FOLLOWING US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,, WE SHOULD PROBABLY CALL THE COPS,,,,, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,, nah.. that idea was shut down immediately when Olivia brought up, the curfew. Hmmmmm,,,,, face parents or get raped/murdered????,,,,, obviously the latter. So now it’s probably 2am. At this point, we start to worry a bit, and by ‘worry a bit i mean start freaking the fuck out. Like, we could legitimately die depending on what this guy’s intentions were. Without Kenzie or I even noticing, Olivia picks up a rock in case she needs a weapon,,, like a rock would protect against a gun or knife or some shitt,,, but its okay. And while all of this is happening,,,,,,,,,, we are still holding this cute ass dog. So we decided we need to GO. But the guy is between us and the car. So we run across the street and hide in this little area in the trees. He sees us and starts walking down the MIDDLe of the street.  Creepy as FUCK. So we start running,, with my balloon, two books, an energy drink and a puppy. We ran to this old walking street thing that goes uphill, and they have a bunch of historical buildings or something. We can see the first building has like a back yard so we hop the stone fence and hide back there. I put my balloon on the doorknob to the building so that it wouldn’t fly away, and the guy couldn’t see where we were (ik,, smart af). We set the dog down and take a few moments to chill and breathe and think about what we are gonna do. This building is right on the street and right across from a park, so olivia tries to go look and see if the guy is still there, and she accidentally hit a huge metal thing which made the LOUDEST sound ever. So take a moment to ask yourself, what the fuck would you do if some creepy ass dude was following you at 2am in the middle of a “city” that you dont live in? Well shitt just die apparently. So we started talking and we were like fuck, we need to get the hell out of here, now. At this point, our car is like .7 miles away and we are all lazy ass motherfuckers who don’t run,, e v e r. But I guess it’s our only option. So we have to run this, while carrying two books, an energy drink, and a dog. You might ask you might ask yourself, why still carry the books and energy drink?? Are they really that important??? Yes. We sneak out onto the street to see if he’s even still there, and then we see this dicknugget stand up. He was sitting in the park, waiting for us. And then we started running. Now, running back to our car was a whole other adventure just by itself. We are running slightly downhill, which makes us go faster. We don’t even bother looking to see this guy because  nyoom nyoom gotta go fast – We start sprinting down this road,, and then we hear a car coming. It’s gotta be going like 60 mph down this goddamn road at 2am and they see 3 teenage girls sprinting. Just a normal day in  Cowboy™Hell™ apparently because if you see three people running as fast as they can down a road in the middle of the night, you might stop to see if they’re okay? nahhhh. guess nott. Not to mention, Olivia and I almost got ran over by this goddamn car because we are running in the middle of the street. Meanwhile, we still have 2 books, an energy drink, and a puppy (who at this point is probably traumatized just like the rest of us).. So we just keep running for what seemed like forever (it was probably like 2 minutes), and then,, I drop my book. And me,, being the dumbass that I am,,, i stop to pick it up. Don’t ask me why I risked my life to pick up a book that we randomly found,, a book that i dont need,, a book that later we found out to be erotica,, because i do. not. know. Ya know, I always had this mental picture that if, for some reason, I had to run for my life, my body would trade in my out-of-shape, asthma-stricken lungs for super-lungs from the adrenaline or something– BOI WAS I WRONG. My lungs felt like they were on fire. Like actually burning. So what do I do? I’m literally being chased by a murderer but I really dont wan’t to run.. Well fuck, guess i’ll just die. I start walking because FUCK IT, my out of shape ass needs to chill. Then Kenzie see’s that I am walking she was like THANK GOD i’m tired too. Meanwhile Olivia is way ahead of us, and she looks back to see us,,, and we are walking, and she was like “what the fuCk are you DoiNG ??”. So kenzie and I work up the strength to start running again; and then we see it,,, our car. We unlock the car and just sit. All of us out of breath, scared shitless, apparently Olivia still had her rock, and my first thought after this was all done? I want my balloon. While all these events were occurring, Kenzie was texting her friend what was happening. We went and picked up Kenzie’s friend and his friend who was staying with him. Now it’s like 3am. We almost just got murdered/raped/kidnapped/whatever, the cute ass dog is sleeping in the car, and now we have two guys with us. weLL HEy, I haVe A gREat iDeA; LET’s GO GET MY BALLOON. So we drove the car for another 20 minutes and went back to the same place we almost died; I know, smart. Just a quick reminder that Cowboy™Hell™’s “city”-wide curfew is 11pm… and its 3am,,,. So we park in the same exact spot we were parked 2 hours earlier when we were being stalked by some creepy motherfucker and we got out. We showed the guys what happened place by place, we got my balloon, and then we were just chillin on the street. We saw some car down the street driving towards us and Kenzie made some tdumbass joke like “lmao watch that be the sheriff”, Well GUESS WHO THE FUCK IT WAS??? YOU GuESseD rIGhT mY FrIENd. the sheriff. Quick reminder: curfew. If that sheriff stops, not only do we look fuckin suspicious af just chillin in the middle of downtown on a tuesday at 3am, they will call our parents. And we cant have that.. So what do you do when you’re in Cowboy™Hell™ and can’t get caught by the cops? Run. We all get off our asses and book it, and hide in some bushes for about 10 minutes until the coast was clear,, well we thot anyways,,,, we were walking down the street and he came around again and guess what? We all run for like 20 minutes back to our damn car and drive. BYE BITCH. None of our parents know we are out, so where tf do we go now? Can’t go home. My home is 2000 miles away. Well what perfect place to be in Cowboy™Hell™ then the CHURCH. We legitimately spent a good 3 hours in the church parking lot because where else we gonna go? back to Walmart? Probably,,, then its about 7am and we drove to some park. Welllllll,, since its Cowboy™Hell™ with a population of 31,169, EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS EACH OTHER. My cousin’s neighbor came jogging by at 7 in the goddamn morning (who does that, get a life, sleep in, just stahp,,) and recognizes our car and guess what happens now? He calls our parents :))))))) Thanks for being a snitching ass little bitch,, because then my cousin’s mom drives up and says heyyyyyy, get your asses home :)) Well guess where we didn’t go? home. Guess where we went instead? Of all the places in Cowboy™Hell™ with a population of 31,169, we went to Walmart.

“Are you all excited for your last show for almost a year?” Ben, one of Luke’s older brother asked taking a seat in the ‘big room’ backstage at the last show in Australia. Theres been a passing of time since they first landed in L.A., almost two weeks ago now, they spent a week there only doing a couple of shows, before hitting the last leg in Oz, much to the relief of the lads and (Y/N). She had been put back on the original security detail she was hired for because the fans had been getting a lot more violent lately, much to Aurora’s dismay. (Y/N) and Calum still hadn't broken the news to ‘Rora, or anyone else because of the rocky waters they knew they were going to endure for the next while with moving around, and the hectic schedule she and Calum would be enduring.

“You have no idea.” Ashton laughed getting yet another snack from the table at the front of the room, you could tell they were nervous. Ashton was a nervous eater, Luke would get almost violent, but he had been going through a rough patch with his current girlfriend so that could be the explanation for the hostility for when he got nervous, Michael would game and tune everyone out, Calum on the other hand would try to spend as much time as possible as he could with ‘Rora, and (Y/N).

“Do you have plans for the break?” Michael’s mom asked getting her son’s attention.

“I might travel for a bit, been stuck behind these concrete walls for a while.” Ashton said taking a seat next to his siblings. “And spend time with these buggers.”

“Not really sure. I’ll come up with something.” Luke said pacing back and forth behind the couch that held most of his family.

“Take care of my mental health.” Michael said seriously. “A year is a good time to start to better myself, and spend time with you and dad.” He smiled at his mum.

“Helping Aurora transition into going to school, she already a year behind because of her birthday.” Calum said with a knocked out ‘Rora at his side, his family next to him as well.

“What about you, (Y/N)?” Jack asked this time, all eyes suddenly on you, who was keeping an eye out from the doorway.

“Have no idea really. Try to find a stable place to stay, find other jobs just incase it doesn't really work out here.” You answered honestly, well semi honestly. Calum had already told you that you were free to move in with him and Aurora after the tour was over, and said you wouldn't have to worry about having to work because he made more than enough to maintain a three person household. You declined his second offer as soon as it left his mouth, you had been working all your life, and you didn't like to burden people especially when it came to money. The first offer you said you would keep in mind if anything.

“They still haven't come up with a decision?” Calum asked from his seat.

“They said it depended how well today went.” You explained shaking your head, you hated the fact they were basing a good chunk of their decision on one show, when the rest of the tour had gone off without a hitch.

“(Y/N), we need you at the mouth, we need you to escort someone to the den. Over.” James ordered through the walkie talkie at your hip, except he sounded mad, which was rare.

“Understood, on my way. Over. Are y'all expecting someone?”You asked everyone before jogging to where security check was made, which was nicknamed the mouth, and the den was the big room where everyone was at.

“Are y’all expecting someone?” You asked before going out of sight down the corridor. Everyone gave each other a look, there were only certain people who were allowed this far back stage, and everyone who was, was already here.

“Who the hell do you think it is? I mean everyone’s here.” Michael asked saving his game, wanting to see who the new person was. Everyone started talking about a couple of things that had happened over the tour that they would remember, most of them revolved around (Y/N), having to deal with all of their antics.

“Daddy what’s going on?” Aurora asked yawning, rubbing the sleep out her eyes.

“Nothing Love, just talking about how good the tour went, and what were going to remember.”

“You know what I'm going to remember the most?” Aurora asked waking up more.

“What baby?”

“The first time (Y/N) sang me to sleep.” ‘Rora smiled probably thinking back to the memory.

“Really gorgeous?” Calum asked kissing her forehead.

“Yeah.”

“Looks like most of the memories revolve around (Y/N).” Mum said from Calum’s side, giving me a look. Calum shook his head before (Y/N) popped her head back into the doorway.

“Um, is ‘Rora awake? She has a visiter.” (Y/N) asked, her voice shaking a bit.

“Yes, I'm awake.”

“How’s my gorgeous girl doing?” A voice none of the group have heard since a couple of months after Aurora was born.

“Alicia?” Calum’s voice quivered as his ex, Aurora’s mum walked into the room. You could feel everyone’s mood change instantly, ever since the break up no ones really liked Calum’s ex, that you had heard of.

“Daddy, who’s that?” Aurora asked holding onto Calum tighter.

“Oh my gorgeous girl, I'm your mommy.” Alicia said stepping closer to the two Hoods.

“I don't think thats a good idea ma’am.” (Y/N) said softly coming into the room.

“What do you mean it’s not a good idea?! I have every right to see my daughter!” Alicia snapped at (Y/N).

“You’ve had every right for the past almost 5 years.” Calum said getting up, giving Aurora to his mum. “We’ve been perfectly well off without you Alicia, I don't think its a good idea to come in like this.”

“Is she my mummy?” Aurora’s voice asked from behind him.

“Yes sweet heart, I'm your mommy.” Alicia said coming closer to Aurora.

“No, no you’re not!” ‘Rora yelled at Alicia taking everyone off guard.

“’Rora, what have I told you about yelling at people?” You spoke giving Aurora a stern look.

“No! I don't want her to be my mummy! Daddy she doesn't look like a nice person!”

“Hey lads sorry to interrupt, you all are up in 5. (Y/N) you’re on barricade duty this time around. You know what to do right?” James interrupted giving some in-ears, nodding you put them on and gave the guys all a look.

“Come on guys. Everyone please keep an eye on Aurora, Miss. Alicia I kindly ask you not to upset her anymore, if you do, I will find out, and I will personally escort you out of the building. And I will make sure you are no longer allowed into a 5SOS concert again.”

“I’ve never seen someone stand up to Alicia like that.” Luke commented as he grabbed his guitar.

“I’ve never seen (Y/N) so scary before, remind me not to mess with her.” Michael said shivering a bit.

“Are you lads ready for your last show for a year?” You asked as you came up to the group giving them each a hug, Calum holding onto you a little bit longer than the rest did.

“Of course we are, and good luck at the barricade, it gets a little bit wild.” Calum smiled at you.

“I don't need luck, I'm good at my job. Alright good luck guys! See you in a bit.” You smiled back before running towards the barricades.

“What was that about Cal?” Ashton questioned, giving the Kiwi a look.

“What do you mean?” Calum questioned back.

“What do you mean, what do you mean?” Michael laughed this time.

“Is there something going on between you and (Y/N)?” Luke chimed in, smiling at Calum with a shit eating grin. All Calum could do is roll his eyes and plug in his in ears in.

“Don't forget we added a new song in before Perfect, now come on.” With that they started their last concert for almost a year.

“I hope you guys are having an amazing time!” Ashton yelled from his drum kit, out of breath, but full of energy. Hearing the crowd scream in excitement was a new feeling for you. This was only the 2nd or 3rd time that you’d been able to see them on stage playing to the fans, and it made you so happy to see everyone having a good time.

“Alright, we have a little surprise for all of you!” Michael yelled into his mic, gaining another response from the crowd. You turned to see what was going on, you weren't informed of a surprise, the other body guards just smiled and shot a quick look at Calum.

“Since this is the last show for pretty much a year, we’ve decided to add a song from before our first album. Calum can you tell the crowd what that song is?” Luke asked getting the spot light on Calum who had a huge smile on his face.

“This song is called ‘Try Hard’, I really hope everyone enjoys it!” Calum yelled before Ashton counted everyone in, starting the song no ones heard for a long time. You smiled looking up at the stage, a couple of weeks ago Calum asked you what your favorite song of theirs ways, and you replied with Try Hard, since that was the first song you had heard of by them. You walked back and forth on your side of the wing, enjoying the song, and making sure that the fans at the barricade were all good.

“(Y/N), we need you at the end of the run way, now.” James said through the walkie talkie, which were connected to the in ears, hearing this you quickly ran to the location. Your bosses were looking at how well this last concert went, so you knew you had to make sure everything was going off without a hitch.

“What’s up, did something happened?” You asked coming to the end of the run way.

“But now who knew, that she's in the crowd of my show. Nothing to lose, she's standing right here in the front row. The perfect view, cause she came along on her own, and there’s something that you should know!” You looked up at the stage, not hearing Luke singing one of the more iconic parts of the song took you by surprise. You felt your face heat up seeing Calum kneeling at the end of the run way, looking straight at you, the mic in his hand, and the most amazing smile you’d every seen him muster.

“Thank you!” The guys yelled as they took their bow, saying bye to the fans who were still screaming.

“Is there a reason I wasn't informed of this little surprise?” You asked as the boys came into view, your question targeted towards one of them.

“If I would have told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise.” He smiled bringing you in for a sweaty hug. “I wanted to do something a little special for you, hence why I asked you what your favorite song of ours was.”

“You know you didn't need to do that right?” You asked hugging him back before you could hear the sounds of heavy footsteps behind you. The five of you turned to see what was going on, Alicia and the guy’s families all had the same look on their face. “What happened? Where’s Aurora?” You asked instantly.

“We can't find her.” Jack said gasping.

“What do you mean you can't find her? What happened?” Calum asked this time, panic setting in.

“She just ran away, it was near the end of Perfect when she started screaming and ran!” Alicia explained, speaking a bit too quickly.

“What did you do? She’s never done this before.” You asked getting closer to Alicia, you would have gotten a lot closer but Calum took hold of your hand, keeping you away from the unwanted guest.

“Don't lie, you were saying that you were going to take her away from us because you believe that this isn't the right environment to raise a child!” Mali-Koa yelled this time.

“Okay! Look what matters right now is finding Aurora, well split up and try to find her.” You took authority, giving everyone an area to search. You knew that this venue was being renovated, and a good portion of the back stage area was under construction, you left that area to yourself, not wanting anyone to get hurt. “Someone in each group will have a walkie talkie on them, so when one of us finds her press the red button on the walkie and we’ll know to meet back at the big room. Alright, go!” You said before making a b-line towards the construction area.

“’Rora! Sweet heart! Where are you?” You yelled into the room full of 2x4s, industrial sized tubs of materials. “Come out Love, we’re all worried!” You started to climb over the partially completed objects, trying to see where she would have gone.

“(Y/N)?” A small voice rang out from behind a huge pile of iron pipes.

“Aurora?!” You yelled again going to where you heard ‘Rora’s voice. It only took you a minute to reach the tiny Kiwi. “Love, are you okay? Can you move? Are you hurt?”

“I’m okay, I want to get out of here, but everything keeps moving and Im scared!” She cried making herself smaller. You looked around and it looked like anything could knock down the pipes, you quickly found a space where Aurora could crawl through and get out.

“Aurora, look there’s a passage here you can get out of, you just have to be very careful.” You said kneeling down to where the space was. “Come on love, I'm right here, I won't let anything happen to you.” It took a little bit, but by the time Aurora finally made it half way before the pipes started to shift.

“(Y/N)!” Aurora yelled before you crawled into the passage, covering her, from the pipes that were now falling around you. A couple of minutes passed and it felt like everything had already fallen, lucky enough for the two of you, there were a few of them that created a teepee around you and helped soften the blow of the other ones that fell.

“What the hell was that?

“What’s going on?”

“Is everyone okay?” Everyone started to ask through the walkie. “(Y/N), come in. Are you okay?” Calum asked this time.

“I’m okay. I found Aurora, were in the part thats under construction. We’re stuck under a pile of pipes that fell.” You explained as you held onto Aurora. “We’re going to be okay, everyone’s coming to get us. It took another 30 minutes before the firefighters were called, and started moving the debris around the two of you.

“(Y/Full/N), and Aurora Hood, are you two okay?” Someone asked as they got closer to you, moving more and more pipes away from the two of you.

“Yes we’re fine.” You called out, holding onto the still crying child. She was like a koala holding onto you for dear life. “See, love? They’re here to help.” Finally the firefighters got to the two of you and helped you up from the position you were in, kneeling over Aurora trying to cover her.

“Can you walk?” One of them asked as they helped you up and were creating a path for the two of you. 

“Yes, thank you.” You said, Aurora still sniffling and crying into your shirt. “Everything’s alright love, we’re safe now.” You whispered into her hair.

“Oh thank goodness!” You heard Joy gasp as you and Aurora came into view. 

“Oh Thank god you’re okay baby girl!” Alicia yelled trying to grab onto Aurora, before you could protest, ‘Rora held onto you even tighter.

“NO! Mummy, please don't let her take me!” Aurora yelled, gripping onto you even tighter. The atmosphered instantly changed, you felt your heart stop and your eyes start to water. “Mummy please!” She yelled again, this time looking up at you.

“I promise that I won't let her take you. I’m right here.” You said holding onto her even tighter, kissing her forehead.

“D-d-did she just...” Alicia started before you interrupted her.

“I told you, I would find out if you were to make Aurora upset again. James can you please escort Miss. Alicia out of the facility, and I’ll make sure she’ll be on the no entrance list.” You said walking around Alicia and to Calum, who looked distraught.

“Good night Aurora, if you need anything we’ll be next door.” You whispered, tucking the toddler into bed. After the whole ordeal Alicia was escorted out, and the medics who were on site made sure you and Aurora were okay. After getting the clear, everyone decided that the day was excited enough, and that you and Aurora needed your rest.

“Love you, mummy.” She whispered before falling asleep.

“Love you too, Aurora.” You whispered before kissing her forehead. You turned off the lights and quietly closed the door. Once it was closed you lean against it and took a deep breath.

“So that happened.” Calum spoke from the door way of the bathroom, Calum had decided to rent a Airbnb for the next week not wanting to bother his parents with the whole room situation.

“Yeah that did happen.”

“Are you okay with it?” Calum asked taking hold of your hand.

“Yeah, of course I am. I-I just didn't think she would see me as her mom.” You replied leaning your head against Calum’s chest.

“Why wouldn't she? Besides my mum and sister, you’ve been one of the only female figures she's looked up to. And with Aurora seeing you as a mum, I think that breaking our relationship to her is going to be a lot easier than we thought.” Calum chuckled holding onto you, bringing you into his chest. You shook your head before your wrapped your arms around him.

“And to the guys and your family as well.”

“I think the lads already know, they would smile anytime we would be near each other.” He smiled looking down at you. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Yeah sure, whats up?”

“Is it okay if I kiss you?” Calum asked with a straight face, while your face turned red, its rare when you got embarrassed, so this was a shock to the both of you.

“Oh, um wow. I didn't see that coming, I would for you to, but I haven't brushed my teeth since this morning and we had a huge lunch, so I don't know if my breath is g-” You rambled before Calum kissed you, causing you to stay quiet. It took a second but you were soon kissing him back, a smile on both your faces.
