Spicecream Week Day 7 Before Fall Of Beacon

Spicecream Week Day 7 Before Fall of Beacon

Neo opened the door to the dorm she was sharing with Cinder and her disciples, and looked at her bed, the fancy gown Roman had bought her for the dance was laid out, she walked over and picked it up holding it in front of herself in the mirror, and nearly started to cry, she had been looking forward to the dance since this whole plan had been explained, Neo never got to go to fancy parties or had any school experiences and she had been really looking forward to this one, but the mission had to come first, and none of the others could risk meeting with their contacts right now, even Cinder had too step up and handle the CCT infiltration with Neo handling some lame issue about a weapons shipment,

“Oh Hey your back!“ Emerald called out upon entering the dorm, “Get dressed and i will help you with your hair!“ Neo blinked in confusion, the dance ended hours ago, it was 3 in the morning, but Emerald walked over and began hurrying her to get dressed, Neo needed up needing help just to get into the fancy dress, it was the single most expensive thing Roman had ever bought her, made by some high end seamstress custom fitted and even matching ear rings, Cinder promised after this job was all said and done these kinds of extravagant things would be a simple way of life for them, it was why Neo kept agreeing to keep going, Her and Roman had finally found a way to the top, and it’s name was Cinder Fall,

After 20 minutes of work Neo was fully gussied up, her hair put up into a fancy up do, her makeup applied and her gorgeous white dress perfectly hugging her body, Neo could almost cry she felt like a princess, gods how she wished she could have gone to that dance, had pretty girls fawn over her, maybe even hit up the hot blonde from the train for a dance for the thrill of it,

“Good, now go the the west garden courtyard,“ Emerald pushed her towards the door, Neo looked back at the door as it slammed in her face and cocked an eyebrow in confusion, but shrugged and headed off, maybe they needed her to woo someone? must be into short chicks or else Cinder or Emerald could easily handle it,

Neo made her way to the specified area, as she turned the corner bringing the small isolated part of the garden she noticed someone in the shadows, standing with their back turned, and allot of unlit candles strewn about, as entered the small courtyard proper, she heard Cinder speak up “Ahh my lady has arrived!” Cinder raised her left hand and snapped her fingers causing dozens of little embers of fire to float away lighting the candles and bathing the area in a gentle glow, a nearby deep set windowsill had a cloth draped over it, with a bowl of punch glasses and plates of fancy snacks lined up on it, her eyes then went back to Cinder still standing with her back turned, dressed in a dark red gold trimmed suit, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail,

Neo slowly walked closer trying not to tear up as the situation settled in on her, Cinder turned around keeping her right hand out of sight and walked over giving Neo a deep bow before presenting Neo with the corsage she had been hiding, “Would you do me the honor of being my date for the evening fair Neo?” Cinder delivered it with a simple and fun tone showing that she knew she was going over the top, Neo hardly cared she just nodded like a love struck school girl, and felt her heart go crazy as Cinder pinned the small group of red flowers onto Neo’s dress,

Cinder pulled out her scroll and tapped a few times, as a song Neo knew she had heard before but never really paid attention to began to slowly  talk of fools rushing in, and got a chuckle out of Neo when the words falling in love came up, of course Cinder’s ego would demand she pick a song with the word fall in there, “Would the lady care for a dance?“ Cinder asked extending her hand towards Neo, the smaller girl curtsied and accepted the offered hand,

Neo rested her cheek against Cinder’s chest and was very grateful for combat grade makeup so she could let some of the happy tears flow and just melt into this moment, it was like something out of a fairy tale, and as far as Neo was concerned those kinds of things just didn’t happen to her, and she was going to enjoy it,

After the song ended, Cinder sat Neo down at a nearby bench and fetched them some punch, seemingly going all out on this, the two sat there, sipping punch eating snacks dancing several more times, and Neo got to enjoy those sweeter smiles that Cinder usually only gave when Emerald and Mercury were being particularly Emerald and Mercuryish and she didn’t think anyone was watching, until they both noticed the light from the now nearly burnt out candles was now being eclipsed by the light of the rising sun, Cinder lead Neo out of the nook in the garden so they could watch the sunrise, Neo holding Cinder’s arm and resting her head on her as it happened,

“You know Neo, if this was one of those cliche love stories this would be the part where, we kissed,“ Cinder looked down at her, “But, well, mysterious candlelit rondevu, getting your date punch, are also really cliche, so what do you say princess, want to go for the hat trick?“ Cinder held up her scroll and turned on the song from their first dance,

Neo closed her eyes and tilted back her head and felt Cinder gently dip her down before softly pressing their lips together, as the song’s title lines played, “Why would i ever want to help it?” Neo asked herself as she savored this little slice of beauty in this dreary world of hurt, Soon her and Roman would be made for life and maybe she and Cinder could establish a separate and very pleasurable partnership, aside from their business one? everything was looking up for her, and for the first time in forever she saw a chance for a new source of joy in her life, and all that stood between her and this promise of a better tomorrow was the fall of this beautiful little school, how hard could that be?

Hear me out here, what if we get some flash backs to Hordak’s past and in one of them we see another clone with Yellow eyes and teeth and a shriller voice who seems obsessed more with magic than tech, and whose face is shown to be decaying, as a set up for if they ever do Skeletor,

The Ship

What we thought it was

what it actually was

An entire half of the Entrapdak house hold can’t ride most of the rides at a carnival, so Imp and Entrapta are stuck riding the tea cups while Hordak and Emily are having a riot on the roller coasters,

Oh shit, figured it out, Imp is one of the failed clones judging by the wings

That makes a lot of sense! And also makes me super curious? Like, would that mean Hordak could do voice recording stuff? Could he have looked at least semi-normal? Does that make Imp Entrapta’s step-son?

Spicecream Week Day 8 Free Day

Cinder sat on the cliffs of Beacon, watching the sky slowly shift in color, as the dawn approached, she could hear the sounds of the others as they Held some impromptu school class in the ruins, Ruby had tried to get her into a uniform and join them as well but Cinder needed time to think, because now for the first time since Salem had forced her into rebelling she actually had time to consider more than defeating the immortal witch, and it was frankly soul crushingly ironic that Cinder who had chased power and freedom her whole life had both now, and not a single clue how to use them,

Neo watched for a moment making sure Cinder wasn’t having too deep of a moment before making her way over to her, casting a look over at the pile of rubble that had been the place of their private dance what felt like a lifetime ago,

“Hello.“ Cinder said turning around to see Neo bathed in the first rays of the slowly rising sun, “Do you have any idea how beautiful you look right now?“ Neo paused at that, Cinder was always coy and teasing, that was bizarrely upfront, Cinder reached up and guided Neo into her lap and wrapped her arm around her waist, resting her head on top of Neo’s,

“I have no idea where we go from here, but i am fine with that, it’s not what we do, it’s that it’s us doing it, Me you Emerald and Mercury, we can do anything together,“ Neo Looked up at Cinder feeling weird having her talk like this, Cinder looked down smiled and leaned in kissing Neo,

Neo reached up and wrapped her hands around Cinder’s head pulling her into a deeper more intense kiss which they held until both were convince they had made it awkward and broke it off, acting mildly embarrassed,

But that soon passed as they both realized they had been thinking the same thing, and they started in to resume only for Cinder to stop and fish out her scroll and quickly bring up her music selection and start a certain song, before over enthusiastically diving back into the kiss and causing their teeth to clank together, both had a giggle over that, and settled for more subdued kisses broken mostly to take in the sunrise and hum along with the song,

Cinder had power, she had freedom, and most importantly she had friends, and a lover to share them with, maybe after the sunrise was over she should go see how Penny’s first day as a Beacon student was going after all,

Thank you to @musings-from-mars for hosting this fun week, i had a surprising amount of fun doing these, and i hope everyone who took part and who watched had fun,
