Ghost Busters

Of Ghosts, Time Travel and Hotels;; Part Two. Included : M Young, Sungjae Lee, Mark Yang Mentioned : Tara Lee, Daniel Choi

“Did you just use our ghost hunting trip as an excuse to flirt with a boy?” M laughed as he came back from the counter, fruity drinks recommended by said figure – Danny? in hand. Sungjae shrugged fanning himself with the café’s menu, the umbrella that was covering them doing little to cool him down. M rolled his eyes sliding the icy drink across to Sungjae and taking his seat across from him. M looked away out at the beach, the ocean glistening in the sun, the white sands full of tourist. It was like paradise, or it would be if they were there under different circumstances.

“Might as well get something other than a sunburn out of this trip,” Sungjae said taking a sip of his drink. “And it was hardly flirting,” Sungjae said, M snorted, perhaps Sungjae wasn’t flirting but the Dan boy was definitely interested. He was practically foaming at the mouth when he started speaking to Sungjae. “I just said hi and told him about why we were here – after that, it was all Daniel,” Sungjae pointed out.

“Yes I seem to recall Daniel saying something about how the spirits were leading him to you and that if you got possessed he’d suck the spirit out through your di-“

“Okay so I was flirted with, I was the flirtee while he was the flirter,” Sungjae huffed. “I don’t appreciate the judgement,” he pouted.

“Fine but if you keep being a willing victim to his flirting this island is going to have another tally on its already massive body count,” M shook his head. “Did you not see the way Ashleigh was glaring at him,” M said as Sungjae stared at him blankly before shaking his head. M rolled his eyes, of course, Sungjae didn’t, he was oblivious when it came to people’s interest in him.

“Maybe she was jealous that he was talking to me,” he said as M eyes narrowed at him. “Anyway, so what did you think of the briefing, do you really believe all those deaths are related?” Sungjae asked, it said a lot about his best friend that he was somehow more talking about gruesome deaths and possible ghosts than about someone having a crush on him.

“I mean it’s hard to say they are all coincidences, right?” M hummed, the long list of deaths related to the Grand Royal Olivier Hotel weighing heavily in his pocket. “It is just too many,” he said with a shake of his head. All those poor people.

“True but a few of them aren’t exactly surprising,” Sungjae hummed. “That band? Apparently, the leader was out of his mind on drugs and according to his letter their company barely treated them like humans,” he pointed out. M lips turned down in a frown, it was hard to argue the point but to him, all of it was still fishy. His older cousin was a massive fan and couldn’t believe the leader would do that.

“Okay but the model? Is about to get married comes to this island for a shoot and then suddenly walks out into traffic?” M pointed out.

“Maybe he really didn’t want to get married?” Sungjae suggested as M flicked a piece at him.

“That is a horrible thing to say,” M huffed. “Never mind almost all of that wedding party 100 years ago – they were probably the catalyst for all of these cases,” he said frowning as he remembered the names of all the people who died during the month leading to the wedding.

“It’s weird though, like let’s just assume the sister was nuts why she would kill her brother?” Sungjae said scrunching his nose up.

“You are just defending her because you have the same last name,” M teased as Sungjae rolled his eyes.

“I am sorry are you talking about Tara Lee?’ A voice interrupted them, Sungjae scowled at the stranger. M looked over sympathetically been on the receiving end of Sungjae’s cat-like glare was never fun. He would know.

“We were,” M commented looking at the stranger curiously, he was younger than Sungjae and himself, bright-eyed and sharp jawed. “Are you familiar with the story?” he asked. Maybe he was a local who wanted to share one of their towns urban legends with outer towners.

“Ah, you could say that,” the boy said scratching the back of his neck. “Do you mind?” he asked nodding to their table. M nodded as Sungjae rolled his eyes as he went back to downing his drink. The boy dragged a chair over from one of the empty tables.

“Didn’t we see you on the boat ride here?” Sungjae asked as the boy sat down, an eyebrow cocked as he looked over the boy.

“You might have,” The boy admitted. “You see my family was here in the ’20s, my great grandparents actually worked at the Olivier,” he said. Sungjae glanced at M with what could only be described as a this is your fault look. “My great grandmother was one of the survivors of Tara Lee’s attacks –“ he said with a frown, “But –“ he stopped.

“But-“ Sungjae repeated. “Look you came over here for a reason right?” he asked.

“Are you always so –“

  “Yes –“ M answered before Sungjae had a chance. “It’s been an hour since his last coffee, he is having withdrawal symptoms, rudeness is one of them,” he said shaking his head at his friend who looked less than impressed. “But he has a point –“ he looked at the boy as he waited for a name.

“Mark,” the boy filled in. “And, well this is hard to say, but after my grandfather passed away I was going through a bunch of his things and I found a letter,” he said shifting uncomfortably. Sungjae who had been glaring perked up a little at this. A letter was interesting.

“And –“

“It was from Tara Lee to my great grandfather,” he said shaking his head. “I think they might have been involved if you know what I mean,” he muttered.

“And you want to help us find her ghost so you can get answers?” Sungjae questioned.

“Well kinda yeah?” Mark said. “I don’t really want to find ghosts, I just want some more information, my great grandmother made sure none of our family ever came here but –“

“You want answers,” M said for him. “Okay, well our team is meeting tomorrow at the Sunny Morning café,” M said. “You should show up, we can always use an extra pair of hands,” he said to Mark as Sungjae pulled a face. “It will be nice to have another new team member, you know so Daniel doesn’t feel out of place,” he said sending a pointed look Sungjae’s way.

“Right,” Mark said. “Cool Cool,” he said nodding talking to no one in particular.

A rose by any other name

From First to Last Included, Endymion (M), Serenity (Jane), Venus (Minah), Jupiter (Lucas) Mentioned: Sungjae, Mars (Tyler), Mercury (Tara) 

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾Garden☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

“Jupiter is taking a while,” Princess Serenity with a frown. “Do you think he is okay?’ she said turning to Minah, concern etched across her features. If anything had happened to him, or any of her friends for that matter, she would never forgive herself. She was the sole reason they were here, she begged and pleaded with her mother to let her visit this planet, she had always been fascinated by the lonely blue planet even after the tales she had been told by her late father she still wanted to see it. She has always felt drawn to this planet and perhaps it was naivety but she believed deep down that this planet's people were good people. Tonight had tainted that thought just a little bit, for every nice person she met she would meet three rude ones. She supposes it would be the same no matter where she went but some people here were downright hateful.

“I am sure he is fine, he probably just got lost, you know what he is like when it comes to directions,” Minah said, rubbing her arm trying to keep her calm. Serenity smiled, placing her hand over Minah’s and squeezing it sotly.

“Venus, could you go look for him, just to put my mind at ease,” she asked, Minah frowned, she could tell what was going on in her oldest friend’s mind. She didn’t feel comfortable leaving Serenity on her own. Serenity sighed, she knew it was Minah’s duty to protect her but she wished her friend would trust her a little more, she wasn’t the damsel in distress everyone else seemed to think she was. “Mars and Mercury are still here,” Serenity spoke, “Please,’ she said pouting.

“Serenity-” she said with a frown, Serenity pouted even harder. “Fine,” Minah huffed, ‘But you don’t talk to anyone and you stay where Mars and Mercury can see you,” she instructed. Serenity nodded, it’s not like she was going anywhere, after all where could she possibly go. With one finally disapproving Minah walked away, Serenity scoffed as she watched the way hungry eyes followed her like she was a piece of meat.

Turning around Serenity looked around the room, it was a room so full but she was entirely alone, with Minah or Lucas around to distract her, she couldn’t help but notice the way people were looking at her or the hushed whispers. She knew not everyone was going to like, it was a fact of life, but to openly be so ostracized was a new and very much unwanted experience, especially when these people had no reason to hate her. She looked around spotting Tara and trying to get to her she pushed forward muttered apologies disappearing when she heard these people’s words. “Did you know those Lurians can manipulate the mind?” “Look at the dress who does she think she is following those space girls are like common whores,” “She is going to rule the Moon Kingdom one, how long do you give her till she completely destroys it?’ “I heard Lunarian’s eat people,” she stopped trying to get to Tara and instead fled out of the nearest door.

She walked and walked until the castle was barely visible. She managed to find herself lost in the castle’s admittedly beautiful garden. The already picturesque, well kept garden, was illuminated by beautiful balls of lights . Serenity felt herself relaxing, looking around at this planet's interesting flowers and shrubs, she had a feeling she could spend all night in there but if Minah or any of her guardians found out they would snap. Perhaps she could persuade Lucas into visiting the garden again tomorrow. She started to walk what she thought was the way back to the castle, she came to a stop when she came to a pavilion noticing a lone figure sitting on a bench. Against her better judgement she walked towards this person.

“Hell-” she started to say before the tip of a sword was pointed between her eyes, just hovering mere inches away from her skin. “Princess Serenity, Oh my goodness I am so sorry,” Prince Endymion eyes widened in surprise as he quickly put his sword back in it’s sheath. “I am so so sorry, I just -” he said scratching the back of his neck. “Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you right?” he said reaching out and cupping her cheek as he examined her face looking for any knicks, Serenity sucked in a breath, his hand was much softer than she had expected, she watched as he looked over her face lips pursed in concentration.

“I am fine,” Serenity said finally finding her voice, Endymion’s hand dropped and she couldn’t for the life of her figured out if she was relieved or disappointed. “I am sorry i startled you,” she said softly. “I just saw someone out here by themselves and i thought i’d come check and see if they are okay,” she explained.

“Oh,” Endymion said, “I just need some fresh air,” he said with a frown. “And what are you doing out here on your own? Where are your guards?” He asked craning his neck to look for them.

“I needed some fresh air as well,” Serenity said. “Can we?” She said gesturing to the bench. “My guards will find me soon enough. It would be nice to have some good company for a few minutes,” she said. Endymion nodded, waiting for her to sit before sitting next to her, careful not to ruin her gown.

“So -”

‘Can i ask you something?”

Both Serenity and Endymion said at the same time, a light escaped their lips. “Go on,” the said again at the same time.

“You wanted to ask me something?” Endymion said.

“Why do you want this treaty?” Serenity asked, so far the negative far outweighs the positive. “I mean your people don’t seem to be fond of this union so why risk your status as the future king?” she asked.

“Well you haven’t met every person on this planet but if you are talking about the echelon of society in there,” he said nodding towards the castle. “Well i am not going to let some bigoted old men and their wives tell me what is best for our planet when all they are worried about is their own status,” he frowned. “Serenity, i know what you’ve seen tonight hasn’t been the most dazzling display of humanity but not all of us are like that,” he said. “My mother used to tell me stories of space and the moon, i guess that is why moon bunnies was my favourite book,” he said with a blush. “They were amazing, almost fantastical stories and ever since then i wanted to be amongst the stars, to bring Elysian into a golden era,” he said looking up at the moon, Serenity smiled softly at him his passion tugging at her, she reached across squeezing his hand.

“I know not everyone is like that, you aren’t,” she said softly, as Endymion turned to her, his cheeks tinged pink.

“Thank you,” he said, voice cracking as he spoke. “I am still sorry,” Endymion said. “This party was for you and your guards have been treated awfully, I tried to come over but the head of the government wouldn’t let me escape, Sungjae had to growl for me to get some freedom and i know you’ve never heard -” he stopped mid sentence causing Serenity to frown. “Sorry i am rambling, I am sure you aren’t interested in that,”he said with a shake of his head.

“It’s fine,” Serenity said, she didn’t want to say it aloud but she would have loved to listen to Endymion’s stories. “But perhaps to make it up,” she trailed. “You could dance with me?” she said hopefully. “It’s just at Lunarian balls we dance and i haven’t danced once tonight,” she said frowning at the way Endymion stiffened, his hand slipping out of hers. Was she being to forward.

“Ah,” He said scratching the back of his neck. “Are you sure you don’t want to dance with someone more -” he frowned. “You know someone who can dance,” he muttered. Serenity blinked owlishly, giggles escaping her lips. Of all the things she Endymion was going to say, his inability to dance wasn’t what she had expected.

“Did you not have dance classes?’ Serenity asked, tilting her head. “I thought that was part of royal etiquette” she teased.

“I might have managed to get out of those classes, Enzo managed to distract my instructor,” he laughed. Serenity giggled. “It was for the instructors own good i swear, i would have managed to break her feet, yes both of them i am that bad,” he said with a chuckle.

“I doubt that,” Serenity said with a smile, “Come on,’ she said standing up holding her hand out to help Endymion up. “I will help you become a dancer,” she said. Endymion looked at her hand before sighing and sliding his into hers.”Okay so first put your free hand on my waist,” Serenity said, biting back a giggle at how Endymion’s eyes bulged at her words. Endymion hesitantly put his hand above her waist, she could just feel his fingertips lightly pressing against her dress.

“Princess Serenity,” Endymion started to complain. “If you value my life i feel like we shouldn’t attempt to dance, I am pretty sure that Venus would skin me alive if i so much as stepped on your toes,” he said with a frown. Serenity giggled shaking her head.

“Just trust me,” Serenity said. “Now one,” she said stepping to her left, Endymion following suit, “Two,” she said stepping back as Endymion stepped forward, “Three,” she said stepping forward, Endymion must stopped following her lead because she was flush against his toned body.

“Sorry,” he said looking at Serenity there eyes meeting, not moving away or removing his hand from her back. “I told you -” he started to speak but no more words came out of his mouth. Serenity nodded, something changed in the atmosphere, they moved like magnets towards each other, their lips meeting for a sweet moment before ending when Minah’s panicked voice rang out through the garden. Prince Endymion stepped back, “I’m -”

“Please don’t say your sorry,” Serenity whispered. Endymion smiled down at her tucking a stray hair back behind her ear.

“Hang on,” he whispered, jogging over to where one of the bush flowers were, plucking it off carefully before going back to Serenity. “For you,” he said.

Serenity smiled at the flower, sniffing it lightly before looking up at Endymion.

“Princess,” Minah said finding her and Endymion. “Your majesty,” she said bowing to Endymion before quickly linking arms with Serenity and starting to pull her along. Minah was cursing the other guards as the moved through the garden, she giggled at Minah’s comments about Tyler and Lucas needing to keep it in their pants as she twirled around her flower the smile never leaving her face.

“Hey Mi-Venus,” Serenity corrected. “Do you by chance know what this plant is called?” she asked. Minah looked at it with a brow raised.

“I do believe Jupiter called it a rose,” she said. “Apparently different colours have different meanings,” Serenity hummed looking at it, the red petals glistening in the moonlight. Lucas would later tell her that the red rose represents true love.

“Listen to me Serenity you need to hide, i’ll make sure it is safe for you to get out, you need to find your mother, she can protect you,” Endymion said, pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead, stepping back and wiping away her tears.

“No, I am not leaving you,” Serenity said vehemently, shaking her head. There was no way she was leaving Endymion now, the Elysian soldiers were after him as well. They of course considered him an enemy now as well.

“Serenity, please, I don’t want anything to happen to you,” he said. “I know if you find your mother together you will be able to defeat Beryl and Queen Metalia,” he said. Serenity sobbed shaking her head. “You can save the universe,” he said.

“What’s the point if you aren’t here,” Serenity whispered.

“Who says i won’t be there?’ Endymion said softly, “I have a fiancee now that's plenty of incentive to stay alive,” he said with a smile. Serenity tried to smile back but his words did little to quell her fears. This attack had already taken so much from her, her home and her people were completely destroyed. Her friends were dying, she could feel it , they were flickering away, some had already gone, she could feel it in her heart. An ache that would never go. If she lost her dearest Endymion she couldn’t ,no, she wouldn’t survive.

“I love you,” Endymion said,Serenity knew this could possibly be goodbye so she pulled him into a desperate kiss that she hoped would convey everything she was feeling. Pulling away Endymion looked back at her, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears

.Serenity couldn’t stop herself as she broke down in tears as he walked out of the room. Why was the world like this? How could jealousy and hatred poison so many people's minds. Choking back a sob she stood up shakily, she had to be strong. For her kingdom. For her people. For her friends. For her family. For Endymion. She couldn’t let hate win. She moved out of the room finding the corridor clear, running through the hall her frail gown ripping and tearing, she searched for any signs of her mother or her right hands Luna and Artemis.

She turned into a hallway finding Lucas sat against a destroyed pillar, bruised and beat up barely breathing. She knelt down begging him to wake up. His eyes flickered open, a weak smile making its way onto his face.”Run,” his deep voice broken and hoarse.. “Please,” he said, head lolling back. Just like she felt when Tara and Tyler died she could feel the thread that connected her to her guardians snap. More tears fell from her eyes as she reached across with shaky hands closing his eyes for the last time, giving him the peaceful death he truly deserved. “I am so sorry my old friend,’ she whispered, kissing his forehead as she stood up.

She run along the corridor stopping only to dodge an energy blast, she turned to see Beryl, a sorcerer who claimed to be a queen, the reason all of this was happening. The reason why her planet was destroyed, the reason her friends were gone. The reason she could lose Endymion.

“Princess Serenity we finally meet,” She sneered hovering in the now blood red sky. Serenity said nothing glaring at her. “Such a waste, Endymion falling a girl like you when i had always been there -” she said. “It doesn’t matter anymore you will be gone and he will have no choice,” she said cackling as she launched another energy blast at Serenity.

Serenity was saved by a simple red rose. She looked to see Endymion jumping from the sky, landing in front of her, holding his arms out to shield her from any of Beryl’s attacks. Serenity looked at Endymion surprised by the hateful look on his face, she had never seen him look at anyone like that before.

“Endymion,” Beryl said.

“Don’t you ever touch her,” he all but growled. “You destroyed so many lives for what?” he spat. “Did you think this would make me love you?” he snapped. “You destroyed a beautiful kingdom, ruined my friends lives, turned my people into monsters,” he yelled. “And now you want to hurt the woman i love, I won’t allow it,” he said lifting his sword.

Beryl let out an anguished scream before a large energy blast hit Endymion, lifting up into the air. Serenity watched as Endymion screamed in pain. This wasn't the way it would end, she would save him. She wouldn’t let Beryl take their future. She leapt into the air trying to desperately reach Endymion. Their fingers grasped each other before another blast hit them both, their bodies falling to the ground landing with a thud.

Serenity winced in pain, “Endymion,” she gasped through pain, her eyes opening to see Endymion bloody body next to hers. “Endymion,” she struggled to crawl to him. “M?” she said her voice hoarse. She kneeled beside him fresh tears falling down her bruised face. “Endymion, your promised,” she sobbed but he wouldn’t wake up. She knew she has lost him, sobs shook her body as she glared up at the woman he had caused this. The witch looked down at her victorious smirk on purple lips aiming another attack at them but Serenity wouldn’t let her win, Endymion had died to protect her, she wouldn’t let Beryl take her not after his sacrifice Using all the energy she had left she grabbed his sword, sending a silent prayer to her loved ones begging for their forgiveness she plunged the sword into her heart, as her body began to shut down she reached out grabbing Endymion’s hand, her final thoughts were everything she wanted to say to him but couldn’t.

When you’re uncertain or worried, I’ll be there for you. I may have no power, but you called me here to you. If you need me…I’ll give you all the strenght of my soul. I live to be there for you. So you must fight with confidence.

From First To Last

The Prologue Included : M, Jane, Sungjae,Minah, Daniel, Tyler, Emily, Lucas

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ The Beginnings ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

“And these are your quarters.” Prince Endymion, more commonly referred to as M by his inner circle lead the Moon Princess and her royal party to the left-wing of the castle. “All the rooms are fully furnished and the staff we will be more than happy to help with any of your needs,” he said. One of the maids scoffed glaring at the interstellar royals, M shook his head not understanding why his people were suddenly so against the treaty between Elysion and the Moon Kingdom. It was a step towards the future, a golden age for their people. “Ah,” he scratched the back of his neck. “I should let you all rest, you have all had a long trip,” he said. “There is a lot planned for tomorrow,” he said nodding awkwardly. “Goodnight,” he said bowing to the Moon Princess, “Ah should i -” he said looking at her royal guard who are also the Princes and Princesses of their respective planets. “No, I’ll just go,” he said with an awkward wave before turning on his heels and speeding away, hoping to get that tragic interaction out of his head.

“.... Not that i think you aren’t pretty, because you are, not that you are just pretty - i mean … ” Daehyung mocked as Eunha fell into a fit of giggles beside him. The two of them were putting acting training to good use and doing a dramatized version of M’s rather tragic interaction with Princess Serenity.

“So the Prince, is he, you know, an idiot,” Mars commented with a snigger. “Do earthlings not know how to form a sentence?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I think he was just nervous,” Jupiter responded. “It’s the first time Elysian has interacted with the Moon Kingdom in a century, he has a lot riding on this,” he pointed out.

“Your majesty,” Enzo said, cutting off Eunha and Daehyung. “Do you perhaps need some tips on how to talk to a girl?” he said. M looked up, eyes narrowed, Enzo was known around the kingdom as a bit of a ladies men. “I am sure Eunha can pretend to be a lady for five minutes for you to practice,” he teased as Eunha growled at Enzo.

“Daehyung should play the princess, his blonde and we all know how much he loves the attention,” Eunha said as Daehyung ran a hand through his blonde locks.

“Oh Prince Endymion.” Daehyung teased fluttering his eyelashes before puckering his lips and blowing a kiss to M. “I better stop, I don’t want our dear prince to fall in love with little old me, it would just make things too awkward,” Daehyung grinned.

“That and he was blown away by Serenity’s beauty,” Mercury said. “I think it’s sweet,” she said with a soft smile. “Someone is just being mean because his longest relationship is the one he has with his own right hand,” she teased her brother who threw one of the many, many cushions that littered Serenity's bed, at her head.

“I am not being mean,” Mars huffed. “I am just pointing out that this Endymion is hardly princely, if acted like that Father would have Phobos and Deimos on my back like that,” he said with a click of his fingers. “And please we all know i have the most suitors apart from Venus,” he boasted, Venus looked up from brushing Serenity’s hair rolling her eyes at Mars and his antics.

“But you reject them all because you know your true love is out there, you’ve seen it in one of your premonitions,” Jupiter teased. “Could you imagine if people knew the Prince of Mars was a romantic,” he said with a whistle.

“Sungjae you are on my side right?” M said looking at his most trusted knight and oldest friend. “I wasn’t that obvious right?” he asked hopefully. Sungjae looked at him, a small smile on his face before shaking his head.

“Honestly M it was pretty bad,” he said with a frown. “But perhaps it's better this way, this is already a fragile treaty, we don’t want things to get more complicated,” he said seriously. Eunha and Daehyung booed from their spots.

“Don’t listen to Mr Moody pants over there,” Daehyung said. “Treaty Smchetty you should give the princess your meaty,” he giggled. His innuendo caused several reactions from the other shitennou, Enzo chuckled with a shake of his head, Sungjae looked disgusted and Eunha swiftly smacked across the back of the head.

“You are so lucky you prefer the company of other knights,” she said shaking her head. “M please for the love of Gaia do not take relationship advice from him,” she said rolling her eyes at her cousin. “If you really did like this Princess i suggest you be yourself, even if that does lead to some awkwardness - honestly is the best policy,” she said sincerely. Sungjae nodded in agreement but didn’t comment, not wanting to make anyone think he approved of this potential pursuit of the Moon Kingdom.

“Didn’t being yourself get you dumped by Lord Gideon,” Enzo questioned as both Eunha and Daehyung glared at him. “Okay shutting up now,”

“Min- I mean Venus,” Serenity said softly while the rest of her royal guard bickered amongst themselves. “What do you think of Prince Endymion?” she asked. When it came to opinions there was no one Serenity valued more than Venus, well apart from her mother ofcourse.

“I think he is a good man who wants what is best for his planet,” Venus said, placing the brush down on Serenity’s bed. “He is a little awkward but he has the whole planet's fate in his hands, its alot of responsibility to handle on your own,” she said. Serenity hummed, the death of the former King and his wife was a tragedy to say the least, she could only imagine what Endymion was going through.

“It must be hard,” Serenity said softly. “He seems so sweet,” she commented, a warm welcoming dimpled smile coming to mind as she spoke, her cheeks heating up as she smiled softly.

“ I am sure he is but did you forget about the rumours that Lord Jaehyun is going to start courting you when we arrive back on the moon,” Minah said softly but the warning was in her tone, don’t get too fond. “Let’s just focus on improving relations between our Kingdoms,” she said.

‘Do my ears deceive me or is the Princess of Venus telling someone to think with their brains and not with their hearts?” Mars commented in a sing-song voice. “The same Princess who was caught canoodling with several misters at her Debutante ball,” he asked, teasing.

“Your just jealous you weren’t one of them,” Jupiter laughed. “And shush you know Venus takes her position as leader of the Sailor Senshi very seriously,” he said.

“And she wishes you two would start taking it more seriously,” Venus commented. “Now off to bed you three, I will take tonight’s guard shift,” she commented getting up off Serenity's bed.

“What? Why? Venus you should rest as well,” Serenity said with a frown.

“Your highness, as much as Prince Endymion is trying not everyone else on Elysion shares the same good will,” Venus said softly, not wanting to upset her friend.

“As fun as teasing M is we have a big day tomorrow,” Sungjae commented, “We should let his highness get some rest,” he said seriously. The other Shitennou knew when he used that tone that the fun was over. “I’ll do a quick round on the Lunarian parties wing the rest of you should all go to bed, who knows who these talks will play out,” he said with a frown.

The other three stood up gathering their things and heading towards their respective rooms, not without a few quick jabs at M, Daniel telling him to dream off him before sending him another flying kiss. “M everything will be fine,” Sungjae said softly once they were alone. “You are a good ruler and everyone will see that,” he said with a quick nod before leaving to do his rounds.

M flopped back onto his bed, eyes closing as soon as his head hit the pillow, one single thought on his mind.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

“Good morning your majesty,” Prince Endymion greeted Princess Serenity with bow as they walked into the dinning room“I hope you found the room to your satisfaction,” he said politely. Venus heard Mars snigger beside her muttering about how the prince learned to speak over night. Venus rolled her eyes knowing this wouldn’t last, as soon as the Earth Prince looked up and saw what Serenity was wearing or not wearing for that matter it would be back to mumbled words if they were lucky.

“Give her your jacket,” Venus said through gritted teeth as Mars rolled his eyes handing Serenity his jacket.

“Your highness.” Venus said carefully. “Forgive me if i am wrong but i believe Princess Serenity did not have anything planned for this morning so her attire isn’t exactly proper,” she commented stopping herself from snapping at him. Yes he was a Prince but he still had to follow protocol.

“Huh?” Prince Endymion looked up before quickly looking down, face bright red. “Oh uhm, I was just going to offer you all join us for breakfast,” he muttered.

“Why is there something wrong with the one your staff -” Mars started to speak before Princess Serenity spoke.

  “We’d love to,” Serenity said quickly, “Just give me a moment to get changed into something more appropriate,” she said looking down at her nightgown, sheer and shimmering in the Earth’s sunlight.

“Right of course, Sungjae,” he said, turning to one of his Knight’s. “Would you stay here and show them to the formal dining area,” he asked. The Knight looked between the Prince and their royal party, nodding with a frown. “Okay i’ll see you then,” Prince Endymion said with a huge smile, a huge smile that Serenity seemed to bloom under. Well this was tooth rottingly sweet, Venus knew this was going to be trouble.

“Your majesty shall we?” Venus commented as Serenity nodded turning away from Prince Endymion, a soft smile on her face. Venus and Mars moved to her sides as they made their way back to their quarters, the Prince’s Knight stood a few steps away from that all times but he was a looming figure, the sniggering staff all backed away at the sight. Something Venus appreciated because threatening to kill them in her native tongue just didn’t have the same effect.

“I’ll be right back,” Princess Serenity said to the three mostly to Endymion’s guard. “Mars, would you be able to wake Mercury and Jupiter up,” she said sweetly as Mars nodded stepping past the Elysion guard with a scowl. Venus rolled her eyes, Mars had a tough time believing that Elysian and it’s people truly wanted peace, especially after his father had filled his head with stories of the Solar wars.

Silence had fallen over the hallway, Venus standing inside of a slightly ajar door frame as to keep an on Princess Serenity. “I don’t doubt your Prince wants people but from how the staff is reacting to us i don’t your people do,” Venus said to the Guard who looked up brow cocked.

“It has admittedly been harder to convince some people that this is the best step for our future as a nation,” The guard spoke, his tone steady conveying no hint of emotion. “It has seemed to get worse of late,” he admitted. “The Prince is trying so hard to quell the situation,” he said, Venus noted their was a crack in his armor, one that mirrored her own, her Princess was always number one and she had a feeling that it was the same for this guard and Prince Endymion. With a nod silence fell over the two as they waited for the rest of the royal party to come back out. The other guards returned, Mars resuming his one sided glare off with the guard while Mercury and Jupiter looked over at him curiously.

“Mi-Venus,” The Princess shrieked, causing the four of them to rush towards the door.Only to find the Princess standing there holding up two pieces of jewellery.

“Sorry guys,” Princess Serenity said sheepishly, “I’ll be out in a minute,” she said shutting the door once Venus was in the room.

15 minutes later Princess Serenity walked back out fully dressed. “Uhm, Sungjae was it?” she asked as she stood in the hallway, her guards flanking her side. “Is this … I tried to replicate Elysian’s style,” she said smoothing down her gown. Sungjae looked her over, her outfit while a perfect replicate of an Elysian gown but the fabrics and intricate patterns was far more over the top then what an Earth girl would wear, especially not a breakfast, Sungjae knew better than to point that out.

“It’s a lovely gown your majesty, your dressmakers are very skilled,” he said softly as the younger girl smiled widely, “But please don’t feel obligated change your style to match ours, you are an esteemed guest you should be able to dress however you please,” he said politely. “Now if we are all ready,” Sungjae said ready to lead the party to breakfast. “Prince Endymion has planned a busy day for you, he is quite excited to show you all our humble palace,” he said looking at the Lunarians curiously. Today was going to be interesting.

The Sleepover Part 2

follows this story (x)

Includes : M, Jane,Tyler Lee, Daniel Choi,  Astrid Lee, Oliver Lee Choi, Milo Young, Charlie Young and Ella Yang

“Has everyone finished their desserts?” Jane asked as she placed the freshly cleaned plates back in the cupboard. She looked over at the table to see Astrid struggling to finish her second piece of cake, Ella telling Oliver how Mark was teaching her how to play guitar, Milo was looking towards the living room practically jumping in his seat ready to show off the super cool blanket fort he made with M earlier on today to everyone and Charlie was letting M wipe her face because it was somehow covered in chocolate sauce. Jane couldn’t stop the smile from spreading on her face, the whole scene was adorably perfect. 

“Yes Mummy” and “I have and so has Oli,” were called out by Milo and Ella respectively. Jane smiled at the pair waving her wand at their bowls as they floated into the sink to clean. 

“I am almost,” Astrid called out waving her spoon around, Jane winced as some melted ice cream dripped off her spoon onto her floor. It would be easy to clean up but Jane would be lying if she wasn’t contemplating sending a cleaning bill to Sungjae.

“Sweetie you don’t have to eat all your cake tonight,” Jane said to her. “We can always save it for you to take home tomorrow,” Jane offered. 

“Okay , oh and can I get a piece for Mummy, Daddy and Minjae as well?” she said, clapping happily. “Oh and maybe some cupcakes as well,” she said, batting her eyelids at M. “Please Uncle M?” she said with a toothy grin. Jane sighed, her poor husband. 

“I guess you could but you know Minjae won’t be able to eat them right?” M said standing up sufficiently happy with Charlie’s face. “

“You said I need to help Minjae grow so he should learn to eat cupcakes instead of that yucky baby food Mummy keeps feeding him,” Astrid huffed. Jane smirked if she had to guess Astrid’s interest was more in feeding her sweet addiction then helping Minjae out. 

“Oh can i get a cupcake for my dad too?” Ella asked suddenly. “He is going on tour again tomorrow,” Ella pouted, Oli muttered an again with an adorable frown on his face. . 

“Can Oli get some cupcakes to?” He asked softly. “My daddies aren’t going anywhere, or Oli doesn’t think they are,” he said he demeanour completely changed causing M and Jane too look at each other. The normal sweet boy had his fist clenched and eyes narrowed. “But Oli is sure they aren’t,” he said reverting back to normal. “But it would be mean if they don’t get any as well,” he said nodding. 

“Okay, hang on,” Jane said, stopping these kids from turning M into some cupcake slave. “How about this, I will wrap the cake up for Astrid and tomorrow M and I will help you all make cupcakes to take home,” Jane said. 

“Even us?” Milo asked pointing towards himself and Charlie.

“Especially you two,” M said ruffling Milo’s hair causing his son to try and dodge him erupting into giggles as he did so. “But for now you all need to get ready for our movie night,” M said. “After all we didn’t build the blanket fort for nothing right?” he said as Milo jumped out of his seat. 

“No no,” Jane said, stopping her son before he raced into the living room. “First we get our pajamas on and brush our teeth,” she said as Milo pouted. “So if we are all finished girls with me and boys follow M,” Jane said as a chorus of children jumped off their seats. Milo was already out of the room racing up the stairs. Jane laughed watching after him.

“And I think that is our cue,” M said laughing. “Come on everyone,” he said. “Lets get changed,” he said. 

“Didn't Jane say that the girls had to go with her?” Ella asked her head tilted to the side as she look up at M.

“She did but since all the rooms are upstairs I think we might all be able together,” M grinned. “Unless you want Oli and I to go first,”  he joked. The three young girls looked up at M all the three of them shaking their heads.

“No no Uncle M, it’s ladies first -”  Astrid said, nose turned up as she told him this fact. He looked at her incredulously, his eyes darting from Astrid to Jane who was trying not to laugh. “We should go first,” she said looking at Ella, Charlie and finally Jane. “

“So you want to leave me and Oli down here by ourselves, I see how it is,” M sniffed. “After i made you all those cupcakes,” he faked a sob, being shoved by Jane ever so slightly. 

“Hmm Oli can come with us,” Astrid said, lacing her hands in his. M had to stop himself from just imagining what would have happened if Sungjae and/or Daniel were here. “Aunty Jane can decide on Uncle M,” she shrugged and like that the four remaining children had raced upstairs. 

“Hmmm i can decide what to do with you?” Jane smirked, eyes raking over M’s body. “I always knew I was Astrid’s favourite,” she said with a grin. 

“Don’t you already do what you want with me?” M asked, raising an eyebrow. “And you are only her favourite right now because you let her do your hair,” he huffed. “If i had luscious long blonde hair i’d be her favourite to,” M said flipping his non-existent hair over his shoulder.

“I do and don’t you forget it,” Jane said with a wink. “And keep telling yourself that hun,” she said with a huff.  “Also I do believe we just got ditched by a bunch of toddlers,” Jane said . “Nice to know we are already at that stage,”  she laughed. “Give it a month and Milo and Charlie will be telling us to wait in the car for them because they don’t want us embarrassing them,” she pouted.

“They grow up so fast,”  M joked nodding solemnly, “If it helps,”he sighed, “by time Milo and Charlie are teenagers we’d be used to it, the others not so much,” he smirked. 

“I can already imagine Sungjae in tears when Astrid tells him he is embarrassing her,” Jane said grinning from ears to ears.  M smiled in amusement at the gleeful look on his wife’s face at the idea of his best friend going through. “And with that happy thought lets go help the kids before they come out looking like little pajama frankenstines,” she joked. “Lets go love,” she said, lacing her fingers through M’s and moving up the stairs. 

---

“Mummy why aren’t you in your PJ’s,” Charlie asked lips jutted out in a pout as she looked over at Jane who was still dressed in her every day where. The other girls turned around gathering around the foot of her bed looking at her expectantly. 

“Oh so you want me to wear pajamas,” Jane questioned looking at the hopeful faces of the little trio. “Ah but mummy’s  pajamas aren’t as cute as all of yours,” she said hoping that would be a good enough reason for her to stay dressed. 

“Oh are you like mummy?” Astrid asked, her nose scrunching up as she spoke. Jane was almost afraid to ask Astrid what she was talking about but it turns out she didn’t have to because Astrid was more than willing to share. “All of her pajamas are lackey or silk,” Astrid said, shaking her head. “Very not cute!” she huffed.

“It’s okay mummy, you can wear you not cute pajamas,” Charlie said nodding solemnly. “You are old,” she said. Jane let out an affronted huff, playfully glaring at her daughter. 

“I think someone is just asking to be tickled,” Jane said grinning as Charlie already began to squeal bouncing up and down. 

“Nooooo,” Charlie laughed. “Tickle Astrid instead,” she said, throwing her friend under the bus. 

[jane gets pajamas - probably includes one of m’s shirts or hoodies]

---

“Nice shirt,’ M commented his eyes flickering from setting up the media player over to Jane. Jane winked at him as she sat beside him on the couch, muttering a spell for a throw rug to keep warm. The children were all gathered in Milo’s blanket fort chatting happily amongst themselves.

 “Okay we are all ready,’ He said loud enough to grab the children’s attention, five little heads popping out of the fort almost instantaneously. ‘Does anyone have any movie suggestions?” he asked as a chorus of movie titles flew out of the kids mouths. 

“I heard How To Train Dragons, is everyone happy with that?” M asked.  There were a few grumbles among the children but they all eventually agreed - Astrid stating that they had to watch The Adventures of Henry Hippogriff next though. M laughed promising that they could, Jane side eyed her husband as he knew very well most of these kids couldn’t stay up that long. It was already getting close to Charlie’s bedtime. 

“Mr M?”Mrs M?” Oli called out just as the movie began to load. ‘What time is it?” he asked his head popping out.  

‘It’s almost 8 sweetie,” Jane responded, watching the way the boy's face morphed into a concerned one, his face scrunched up as he mumbled to himself “Is something wrong?” 

“No,” Oli squeaked, burying his head into his toy dragon.

“He is worried that if he doesn’t say goodnight to his Appa and Daddy that they won’t go to sleep,” Astrid poked her head. ‘I told him he was being silly that his Appa and Daddy want special Mummy and Daddy time…. Well Appa and Daddy time i guess,” Astrid pouted as she thought that sentence through. Jane rolled her eyes as M suddenly started coughing beside her. One day soon Jane was going to have a talk with Minah and Sungjae about what Astrid should and should not know.

“Special Daddy and Appa time without Oli?” Oli repeated a frown making its way onto his face. Jane had to stop herself from cooing at how cute he was. 

‘It’s not like that,” Ella said softly patting Oli on the back in attempt to comfort him. “M? Jane? Could Oli maybe call his dad’s?” she asked turning to face M and Jane. “So he can say goodnight and see how much they miss him?’ she asked. 

“Ofcourse, come up here Oliver,” Jane sliding across and tapping the space beside her. Oli timidly climbed watching in fascination as Jane pulled out her phone. M had paused the movie so Oli could make his call undisturbed. Jane dialled the number, praying that Tyler would be decent. 

“Jane?” Tyler’s face showed up on her phone, she let out sigh grateful that he seemed to be semi decent, his shirt was barely done up but she knew it could have been worse, though the oof and disappearing figure didn’t fill her with much joy.. “What do you-  Oh my god it’s Oli? Is he okay? I swear to god if anything has happened to him -” he began to rant, eyes narrowed and lips turned into a vicious scowl.

“Daddy!” Oli called out happily. Instantaneously Tyler’s face softened, a big grin made it’s way onto his face. Jane handed the phone to Oli making sure he was holding right so that Tyler could see him. “Daddy! Can you see me?” Oli asked, smiling at the phone and waving with his free hand. “Gyo is here to,” he said picking up his toy and showing it off.

“I can see both of you,’ Tyler said softly. Jane tried not to pull a face, Tyler being soft for anything felt unnatural. ‘I am very happy to see you but why did Jane call me? Is everything okay?” he asked concern lacing his tone. Jane looked over at M who just shook his head, why did these people think their kids would be anything but spectacular under the care?

“Everything is okay,” Oli said grinning. “Oli has had lots of fun,” he added making Jane nod ,damn straight he had fun. “Oli has to goodnight to Daddy and Appa otherwise they won’t sleep,” Oli said shaking his head. “Silly daddy, it’s almost bedtime,” he said as if it is the most obvious thing in the world. “Where is Appa?” 

“Appa?” Tyler questioned loudly, eyes darting some where offscreen. “Oh he is just in the shower,” Tyler said pointedly. Jane scoffed, Astrid was right it was special ‘Appa and Daddy time’ after all. “Look here he is now,” Tyler said turning the phone to find Daniel who was dressed in a dressing gown, hair mused up and an obnoxiously red mark on his neck. 

“Appa!” Oli exclaimed happily. 

“Is that my little prince?” Daniel asked taking the phone out of Tyler’s hand. “Hello baby are you having fun with Jane and M?” he asked sitting down.  Jane while not still not impressed with his disheveled state she was grateful he didn’t automatically assume there was an issue though that might have been because he was listening on the previous conversation. 

“Yes,” Oli said nodding. “We are going to make cupcakes tomorrow, Oli is going to bring you and daddy some,” he grinned. 

“Oh yummy,” Daniel grinned. “I bet your cupcakes are going taste the yummiest,” he said. 

“Naturally,” Tyler chimed. “Anyway,” Tyler said grabbing his phone back holding his arm so they could both been seen. “Oli called to say goodnight to us because he was worried that if he didn’t we would forget to sleep,” Tyler said as Daniel nodded solemnly. 

“That is very serious,” he said. “Thank goodness Oli called otherwise we wouldn’t have gone to sleep and then we’d be all tired and grumpy,” he said. 

“Hi Uncle Ty, Hi Uncle Niel,’ Ella yelled out. Jane had to cover her mouth at the way Daniel twitched when he heard her voice.  “Can i say goodnight as well?” she asked climbing up onto the couch not waiting for an answer inspiring the rest of the kid squad following suit and in an instant there  were five children gathered around her phone which Astrid had said she can hold. 

“Oh look… Ella,” he said with a grimace. 

“And Milo, Charlie and Astrid,” Oli said excitedly, proudly showing off his friends. 

“Hi Mr Oli’s dad and Mr Oli’s Appa,” Astrid said. “Are you having special mummy and daddy time?” she asked bluntly causing both M and Jane to choke. This wasn’t on them, this was on Minah and Sungjae. “I mean appa and daddy time? Does that mean Oli is finally going to get a brother or sister?” she asked. 

“Astrid sweetie,” Jane said, “I think Oli wanted to say goodnight to his dad’s,” she said steering the conversation back to where it should be. 

“Yes,” Oli nodded. “Goodnight Appa, Oli loves you loads,” he said sweetly before blowing a kiss to Daniel. “Goodnight Daddy, Oli loves you loads,” he said repeating the gesture. A chorus of goodnights followed, Jane had to grin at Charlie ‘Goodnight Other Mr Lee’s’  knowing for a fact Tyler and Daniel wouldn’t like that. 

“Goodnight baby, you have fun tonight and be good,” Tyler said to Oli. “We’ll see you tomorrow,” he said before hanging up. 

“All done, everyone ready for the movie now?” M asked from his side of the couch. The kids all nodded jumping back down and crawling into the fort. 

----

An hour later and almost everyone had fallen asleep, Astrid, Oli and Charlie were already fast asleep, Charlie curled up in M’s arm while Astrid and Oli cuddled up in the lounge. Ella was barely keeping her eyes open and Milo was trying to prove he was a big boy but she knew all too well that he was fighting a losing battle against the sleep 

“Should I take this three to bed?” M whispered as Charlie nuzzled into his chest.

“You think you can manage?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, M was strong but carrying three sleeping children all at once might have been tricky for him. 

“Hmm,” M hummed. “I’ll take Charlie up first and come back for those two,” he said standing up shifting Charlie to his other arm before making his way upstairs. 

“Ella, Milo, you two ready for bed?” Jane asked softly as Ella lifted her head nodding, eyes closing as she did so.  Milo nodded in agreement. “Do you think you can walk upstairs on your own or would you like to be carried?” she asked. 

“I can walk,” Ella yawned. “Maybe you can make sure i don’t get lost,” she murmured as M came down the stairs. “Goodnight Mr M,” Ella said to him. “I have to go to sleep, I got to be up early tomorrow,” she said as Jane stood up with her. 

“Milo you ready?” M asked picking up both Oli and Astrid. Milo stood up rubbing at his eyes. “Do you want a piggyback?” he offered and Milo nodded groggily moving to M, M bent down careful not to disturb the two younger ones as Milo climbed up onto his back. 

Putting the children to bed was easy, they either stayed asleep or fell asleep as soon their heads hit their pillows. “Goodnight,” Jane whispered as M hugged her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder. 

“And that is why we are the gold standard when it comes to parents,” he said as Jane grinned flicking his nose. “Hey,” he huffed .

“So it’s getting late it might even be nine thirty now,” she laughed. “As much as i wish i could go to bed right now or atleast cuddle up and watch a movie with you i have some work to do for the guys tour,” she sighed. “I am sorry,” she pouted 

“Don’t be,” M said straightening up and pressing a kiss to Jane’s forehead. “Not only are you super mum you are super manager, in this house we love a multi tasking queen,” he joked. “But i’ll get the coffee ready, “ he said. “Your usual Madame?” he asked. 

“Always,” she grinned. 

Go on you funky little blue-haired man :’) 💛🌼🌈

Epilogue Moon

Epilogue : Moon

“Daniel calm down,” M, Jane, Minah and even Maude followed after Tyler and Daniel. “Tyler isn’t bad -” he said, frowning as he looked over at the younger boy.

“Just stupid,” Jane finished him with a cheeky grin. “And trust me Lucas isn’t anything like him regardless,” Jane said to Daniel. “Plus Tyler doesn’t even have one girlfriend -” she said shrugging as Tyler turned to glare at her mouthing a shut up.

“So he is a liar?” Daniel questioned. “Why is that not surprising?” he said with an eye roll. “But then why did those two girls agree to his lie?” he said, tilting his head, looking at Minah and Maude judgmentally. “Oh i get it, so the dark haired one is his beard and the light haired one is, no wait i don’t get it at all,” he said, shaking his head.

“I am not a liar,” Tyler snapped. “And i am not gay so why would i even need a beard?” he said pointedly. Daniel shrugged nonchalantly, clearly not believing anything Tyler had said.

“He just feels sorry for Minah, apparently she has bad taste in men, not surprising if you ask me,” Maude said.

“No one did,” Jane snapped. “Why are you even here?” she asked annoyed with this girl’s presence. Maude sneered at her causing Jane to glare.

“Oh so he got that girl when she was weak and pretended to be her friend - how awful,” Daniel said looking at Minah with something akin to pity before turning to Emily. “See straight man are a curse,” he said with a sigh. “This is why we should have enrolled you into that Catholic all girls school,” he said pointedly.

Jane snorted, as entertaining as Daniel was looking at how red Emily’s face was she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Over protective family members were the worst. “Oh no that is worse,” Jane commented lightly, “the girls there are so desperate for male attention they settle for anything and don’t you want your cousin to have standards?” Jane said causing Daniel to blink at her owlishly.

He seemed to freeze, “Hmm homeschooling it is,” he said stroking his chin. “I’ll have to hire a tutor but it will be worth it, I will keep my cousin away from Taylor and friends - “ he said.

“It’s Tyler,” Tyler snapped.

“It’s irrelevant Ty- Liar,” Daniel said glaring at him. “Why are you still here, don’t you have heartbroken girls to pray on or worse…. French ones,” he said looking at Maude his face morphing into one of disgust. Jane and Minah huffed letting out a hey, Jane was sure she isn’t French at all.

“What is your problem with French people?” Minah asked with a glare.

“It’s a long story and i am sorry you aren’t worthy enough to know so -” Daniel in a fake nice tone. “Emmy,” he said, turning back to Emily, completely ignoring a raging Minah. “Can we please go, I saw a new cafe we could try and I need to tell you about the gym guy -” he said excitedly.

“You really don’t,” Emily said. “Like please, please don’t,” she said shuddering. Daniel pouted muttering something under his breath.

“Fine i won’t tell you…” Daniel said a smirk making its way onto his face, “As long as you agree to the no boys until you are 95,” he said as Emily’s eyes narrowed.

“You won’t tell me because if you do I will release the New York video,” she said, eyes narrowing as Daniel blanched. Jane raised an eyebrow suddenly very interested in what exactly the New York video is. “And we can go but maybe you should apologize for being rude to Lucas, M’s girlfriend and uh -” she looking at Minah a small frown on her lips. “Her?” she said.

Daniel rolled his eyes, “Fine even though I did nothing to M’s girlfriend or her and to be honest I am not convinced that Lewis isn’t anything like Ty- Nah over there,” he said glaring at Lucas.

“Daniel,” she said pointedly.

“Fine I am sorry M’s girlfriend, not girlfriend and Lucas are-” he started before Emily elbowed him causing him to hunch over.

“It was nice to meet you all,” Emily said sweetly, pushing Daniel away from the group.

“So Daniel hates me because of Tyler?” Lucas asked once they disappeared from eyesight. “Thanks man,” he grumbled glaring at Tyler causing Jane to giggle.

“Oh sweetie,” Jane said, patting Lucas’s back. “He would have hated you regardless but Tyler didn’t help,” she said poking Lucas’s cheeks when he pouted. “Tyler just couldn’t control himself when he saw Daniel, you know how he is -” she said grinning victoriously as Tyler growled.

“I don’t have to stay here and be slandered,” Tyler huffed, “Come on Maude lets go,” he said grabbing the other girl and stalking forward. Jane had to try not to vomit at the way Maude practically ascended, clearly very happy that Tyler was suddenly paying attention to her.

“I am trying to figure out who is going to cause more trouble for us Maude or Daniel?’ Minah said an annoyed look on her face.

“Maude,” “Daniel,” M and Lucas said at the same time causing Jane to laugh.

“Maude is annoying but she doesn’t want to kill me,” Lucas pouted. “Are we sure Daniel isn’t evil?” he whispered to Jane but loud enough for everyone to hear him.

“Cockblocking isn’t evil, if so you all would be evil,” Jane sighed looking at Minah and Lucas who both looked offended.

“Plus that Maude girl looked pretty ready to kill Minah,” M said nodding, “Did I miss something or is this really over Tyler?” he asked looking at Minah expectantly.

“How am I meant to know?” Minah shrugged. “She is clearly insane,” she pointed out. “Imagine willingly liking Tyler -” she scoffed at the mere thought off it. “Unlike some people I have ta - oh crap,” she said pulling out her phone, frowning at whatever she had seen. “I have to go, I forgot that I was meant to be meeting up with Suho,” she said. “I’ll call you later,” she said to Jane kissing her cheeks goodbye before rushing down the street.

“And then there were three,” M said.

“Oh no i am going to leave as well, no way i am going to play third wheel to Mjane show,” Lucas said shaking his head. “I am going to go home and… study,” he said. Jane quirked an eyebrow at Lucas who to her knowledge was exactly the most studious.

“By study do you perhaps mean stalk Emily’s social media?” M asked grinning at the way Lucas flushed spluttering out of embarrassment.

“I don’t think he was going to -” Jane said leaning against M’s shoulder. “But now that you mentioned it, just remember to not like a post a month ago, that would make you look like a creeper -” Jane teased as Lucas glared at them.

“He isn’t doing it for selfish reasons though, right Lucas?” M continued to tease. “I mean our Lucas would never, he is clearly doing this for research purposes,” he said nodding in mock seriousness.

“Definitely leaving , you two are weird,” Lucas teased backing away from the two of them. “You two have fun doing whatever it is old people do,” he said with a laugh. “Au Revoir,” he said with a dramatic wave mocking the way Maude spoke French making Jane laugh.

“So that was -” M said once Lucas had disappeared. “Interesting,” he said with a laugh.

“That wouldn’t be the word I would use,” Jane sighed. “That was just the finale of a very strange day,” she said with a frown.

M nodded “I see, well why don’t we head to the arcade and you can tell me all about it,” he said wrapping an arm around Jane’s shoulder and pulling her into his side.

“Normally i would say yes but i don’t think i can risk the possibility of seeing ice cream right now,” she said with a shudder. “Maybe we can go back to your apartment,” she said with a sheepish smile. M cocked an eyebrow up, one it's a shock to hear Jane say no to the arcade and two whenever Jane suggested going back to his apartment trouble usually followed, whether it be an angry step- father or negaverse invasion. “Just to hang out,” Jane added pouting.

“Fine but if Daniel shows up threatening our lives for enabling Lucas to live then it’s on you,” He said with a laughing as Jane rolled her eyes.

“If he shows up and threatens you then i will make it my personal mission to make sure Lucas ends up with Eunha, i mean Emily, sorry gotta get used to these new names,” she said with a grin. “If i didn’t know better you’d think you don't want me to come to your apartment,” she said, eyes narrowing playfully.

“I just don’t want Etienne to come knocking down my door talking about how I am corrupting his darling Jane,” M said rolling his eyes.

“That was one time,” Jane huffed. “And please we all know it's the other way,” Jane smirked.

“Yeah yeah lets just get going, I am curious to hear why you suddenly have an aversion to ice cream,” M said with a laugh as Jane’s nose scrunched up in disgust.

--

“Well -” M said, taking in everything Jane had said. “I’m glad you are okay,” he said. “I am sorry I couldn't be there to help,” he frowned. “I didn’t feel anything, before when there was -” he said, getting frustrated with himself. Jane smiled sympathetically, grabbing his hand.

“M,” she said softly, “It’s not your fault,” she said seriously.

“So do you think it’s the negaverse back?” He asked, pulling his hand out of Jane’s grasp and looking anywhere but at her. “Do you think it’s Daniel and Emily?” he asked glancing over Jane’s shoulder at the wall.

“Honestly, I don’t know who it is,” Jane sighed. “I don’t think its Daniel and Emily, I know they weren’t above acting but putting Emily in danger? Even back then it wasn’t Daehyung’s style,” she said with a frown.

“Sungjae?” M asked.

“Maybe,” Jane shrugged, “I hope not,” she admitted. “The other’s seem to be normal, so there is no reason for him to come back…. Evil,” she frowned. “That is if he had come back,” she said. M sighed, he wanted his friend back but it seemed the universe was against him.

“Okay so say it’s not the negaverse,” M said looking out his window onto the busy street below them. “Then we are facing something completely new with no idea how to beat them,” he said face scrunching up. “No idea why they are here or where they come from,” he continued. “So much for that normal year huh,” he said bitterly.

“What you said is very true,” Jane frowned, “But we can beat them, just like we beat the negatrash before, you need to have more faith in your moon princess,” she said with a wink. “And we can still have a normal year, I think we should practice now in fact,” she grinned. “Lets see i think it would be normal if my boyfriend stopped stressing over things he can’t control and instead made the most of the time he has with his very hot girlfriend before he starts going to college and has no time for her,” she said seriously.

“I will have time for you,” M huffed.

“Anyway,” Jane said with a roll of her eyes “What i am basically saying is kiss me you fool,” Jane smirked.

Halloween Part Two 

M watched as Jane’s face scrunched up as she watched Minah and Sungjae seemingly get lost in their own world. He looked briefly at their friends but quickly looked away once they started to blur the line between dancing and well whatever it was they were doing.

““That’s disgusting,” Jane muttered. M hummed she did take a large gulp of her drink.

“The drink?” M asked, causing Jane to turn to face him. After Mark and Tara had left an awkward silence feel over the pair, while it wasn’t entirely uncomfortable but it had left them just standing there awkwardly next to each other.“If you want I can go and get you a better one?” He offered.

“ No no that is not necessary the drink is fine, it’s the sight of seeing our best friends pretty much dry humping on the floor that is disgusting,” she said with a shake of her head.

“Oh right,” M said looking over to the dance floor before quickly looking back at Jane, the tips of his ears turning bright red. “Do you wanna?” He murmured nodding to the floor.

“Do I wanna dry hump on the dance floor?” Jane asked, raising an eyebrow,smirking probably at how M’s face now matched his ears.

“I meant dance,” M exclaimed, “Not dry humping not that it is bad or I wouldn’t with you but-“ he rambled before realising he was digging himself a bigger hole. “I am just gonna stop talking,” he mumbled looking down.

Jane laughed, M sincerely hoped it was with him and not at him because he was already drowning in embarrassment. Maybe he was being hopeful but she looked well fond of him. “I would love to dance but quick question, do you even know how to?” she questioned eyeing him up and down. “And about that other thing, well you have to at least take me out for dinner first,” she smirked, M froze his brain malfunctioning as she tried to process what she had just said.

After settling down trying to ignore what Jane had just said M focused on the first part . “Oh fuck no I am awful, like I am not even been modest here,” M said with a laugh. “But you look like you want to and I’ve been a terrible kind of date so the least I can do is at least try ,” he said. “Though i should warn you my go to move is called the drunk giraffe and it will probably embarrass you so,” he shrugged.

“Doubt it I don’t know if you know this about me but I am pretty hard to embarrass,” Jane boasted. “ but you don’t have to feel obligated, you haven’t been an awful date at all,” she said with a soft smile making its way onto her face.

“I want to, I mean how many other opportunities will I have to dance with the prettiest girl here Jane the frat boy slayer,” he said with a grin. “So shall we?” He said holding his hand out. Jane was quick to skip her hand in his. They both tried to ignore how right that felt.

“Now it’s time for you to teach me this drunk giraffe move of yours,” Jane grinned as they found their spot on the dance floor.

“Are you sure you want to see it, really it’s pretty dumb,” M flushed.

“You can’t just bring it up and not show me now, teach me oh wise one,” she giggled.

“Fine,” M sighed in defeat. “First you put your hands up in the air like so,” he said, raising his arms up above his head. “And you shake them and kinda stumble around at the same time,” he said showcasing his dance move. Trying desperately to ignore the eyes that were on him no doubt judging him.

“Like this?” Jane grinned as she repeated the moves giggling as she did so.

“Exactly like that you are quick learner,” he said giving her thumbs up

Yeah, I’ve heard that plenty of times” Jane stated proudly, a smirk crossing her red-tinted lips as she playfully repeated the silly move.

“You’re giving me a run for my money” M laughed.

“Now it’s my turn to teach you a dance move.” Jane said wrapping a hand around M’s wrist and pulling him closer, M hoped she didn’t notice the way he stopped breathing. “Not that I don’t love the drunk giraffe, but if we do that all night long, I feel like my knees will hurt” Jane said, pointing at the pair stilettos she was wearing, M frowned he hadn’t even noticed, he hoped her feet were not hurting.

“Sure. Though you better don’t get your hopes too high, keep no expectations because i am really-” he started to say but Jane had completely zoned out. He waited for a second wondering if her eyes would leave his arms. Was their something wrong with his arms, was it that stupid birth mark?

Jane seemed to break out of her daze slowly turning around searching for something or someone. Within a few minutes the whole room was packed and looked like a moving montage of characters from movie and TV shows. Spiderman, Harry Potter, Darth Vader, Princess Leah, Scarlet O'Hara, angels, fairies, hobbits, witches and wizards, pirates and many other characters all danced to the latest summer hit.

Jane seemed to find what she was looking for, her eyes narrowed at whatever it was and a scoff escaped her lips.

“Is everything ok?” M asked her, looking around, apparently not identifying the source of her disgust yet. She shook her head but started laughing when she overheard a blonde girls response to a frat boy.

“Try rubbing anything of mine and the only wish you'll have, will be a death wish" She snarked before walking away leaving the two boys dressed as Jedi’s laughed their butts at the other frat boy’s - Jaehyun, M soon realized -, rejection.

“Jane,” Jaehyun spoke, clicking his tongue as he drew closer like some sort of Cicada. “Ok i get it, you are upset, but did you really have to bring some random guy to make me jealous?” Jaehyun asked, his eyes shifting up and down, analyzing M from head to toe.

“Do you even realize how delusional you sound just now?” Jane snorted, M felt bad, she was trying really hard not to lose her temper.

“Come on, Jane, there’s no need to flaunt your guy of choice in my face to make me jealous every other week” he said sending a condescending look his way before smirking at Jane. “Not that you’re trying too hard, either.” M was not a violent person but he was definitely considering wiping that smirk of that stupid jerk’s face.

“Because I don’t need to, even any of your hormonal, immature brothers would be better than you,” Jane stated her face contorting in anger. Jaehyun opened his mouth to continue this conversation before Jane stopped him. “Look, I’m sure you have better things to do tonight than to harass me, so why don’t you just leave me out of your egocentric and toxic-? “ Before Jane could complete her sentence, Mark and Johnny materialized behind Jaehyun. They gave Jane an apologetic look murmuring something to their friend and then dragged Jaehyun upstairs. The two jedi’s from before followed their brothers as well, looking rather concerned.

Jane sighed and slowly turned to face him, “I am truly sorry about that” she said briefly glancing into his eyes. “I don’t know what’s wrong with him, other than his ego of course,” she attempted to joke.

“It’s fine,” M mumbled. He paused trying to think he should say anything else or if any comment would make the situation worse. “Not your fault his brain doesn’t work, maybe his hair gel leaked into his brain or- “ he continued, “though i guess you could say the same thing about me right now,” he said pointing his hair.

“No, trust me, he has never used that brain,” Jane said with an eye roll. M’s lip quirked up in a semi smile, he wanted to continue the joke on but couldn’t bring himself to. That was the type of guy Jane was into, not a boy who works in a coffee shop and has a go to dance move is called the drunk giraffe.

An awkward silence fell over them, M knew that he was just a friend but he couldn’t help but feel a bit defeated. That been said he didn’t want Jane to feel bad it wasn’t her fault she had type that wasn’t M. “I don’t suppose you want to teach me that signature move now,” M said awkwardly trying to break the awkwardness, they could at least get back to the jovial mood they had before Jaehyun had to show up.

“Honestly at this point i kinda just want to go home,” Jane said, a defeated sigh slipping from her lips. M nodded, eyes darting down to his feet. Well that was a bruise to his almost non existent ego. “Not because of you,” Jane added quickly, causing M to glance up giving her what he hoped looking a reassuring grin. He was pretty sure she was saying that to make him feel better but he did appreciate the attempt. “Why do I get the feeling you have taken a page out of your bestfriend’s book and are doubting whether you should believe me or not?” Jane said, the tiniest hint of annoyance could be heard in her voice.

“Sungjae doesn’t have a book, its contagious - you should hope Minah had her shots otherwise you are going to have some trouble,” M joked.

“Firstly don’t even joke about that,” Jane said, dramatically shuddering. “And secondly M don’t say things like that in places like this, they would assume you are talking about something else entirely and before you know it everyone on campus will talking about Minah caught something of Sungjae,” she said. M’s eyes widening that is the last thing he wanted to do.

“Excuse you,” Minah said pushing people out of the way Sungjae following behind her, lips noticeable a smeared shade of Minah’s lipstick. M snorted looking at the dumb smile loved up smile that was on his bestfriends face. “I caught what now?”

“Sungjae’s lack self esteem and constant need to question everything i say,” Jane deadpanned, “Apparently the last part was true,” she said narrowing her eyes at Minah.

“And we came all the way over here to check on you after we saw Jaehyun,” Minah said tsking. “Everything okay?” she asked surprisingly seriously.

“It’s fine, he was just being his normal self,” Jane said with an eye roll, “I was just going to head home,” she said. The two girls shared a look, M tried to decipher the silent conversation.

“Same well, actually -” She said in a sing song, “Sungjae and I were planning to head home,” she said with a grin. “But back to his place,” she said.

“We were?” Sungjae questioned before being elbowed in the rib by his girlfriend, “We were!” he said as he rubbed his rib. “Sorry mate,” he said to M.

“Well he could always stay at our place right Jane?” Minah said. “Our couch is very comfortable unless -” Minah continued.

‘Minah,” Jane groaned.

“What? I am just being helpful, i highly doubt he wants to be present for what we are going to do,” Minah hummed. “And did you know M has never actually seen Grease? Maybe you two you should watch it together?”

“You haven’t watched Grease?” Jane gasped in mock horror, turning to look at him with her eyebrows raised. M wasn’t sure why this was that surprising. He was sure he had seen movies Jane had never watched before.

“Well… I…” M briefly eyed Sungjae questioning what he should say. Sungjae shook his head mouthing a silent ‘no.’ “I haven’t,” he admitted after clearing his throat. It made Jane’e eyes widen comically.

“Ok, no. Now I can’t let you go anywhere.” Jane said seriously “You’re coming home with me and you can’t leave until you know everything about Danny Zuko” she said. M nodded supposing it would make sense for him to actually know something about the character he dressed up as.

“I guess I have no other choice” M joked, shrugging “Anything will be better than going home with these two” he pretended to lower his voice, but both Minah and Sungjae could hear his next word perfectly. “Walls are paper thin in our apartment”

Jane and M laughed causing Sungjae to slightly blush.

“And they’re already so fucking loud” Jane scrunched up her nose. “I really feel obligated to save you from that torture” Jane linked an arm through M’s and started to walk toward the exit with Minah and Sungjae following them closely.

“We can order something to eat or buy something on our way” M suggested tentatively.

“That works. And since she’s the reason you can’t go home, we can drink one of Minah’s champagne bottles. I doubt she would mind” Jane looked over her shoulder smirking teasingly.

“Hey! You two better keep your hands off that bottle. I’ve been saving it for months!” Minah grumbled as they walked out the frat house.

Jane was about to retort when a gust of wind whipped past them and lifted the dried fall leaves off the sidewalk, scattering them all over the street. She shivered and let go of M’s arm in favor of hugging herself and trying to rub away the chill.

“It’s freezing, you’re going to catch a cold wearing that,” they turned to see Sungjae taking his jacket off and placing it carefully over Minah’s arms. M bit back a laugh if he knew Sungjae as well as he thought he did, his being dying to do that since the ghostbuster wolf whistled when they arrived.

“Thank you, babe,” Minah said sliding her hand around her boyfriend’s neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss. Charming.

“This has truly been a horror night” Jane complained to M, clicking her tongue in disapproval and hoping this one was the last time —at least for the day— that she got to see her friends making out like two horny teenagers. “Thanks for tagging along and sharing my pain” she said with a faint smile “It would’ve been an awful night without you.” Jane said.

It was like M had no control over his face because he was smiling from ear to ear. He didn’t want to seem like eager puppy waving his tail excitedly at the smallest amount of praise yet here was surely smiling like a fool because he might have made Jane’s night a bit more bearable.

“Poke the dimple,” he was snapped out of his thoughts by his best friend chanting rather ghoulishly. “Seriously I am not close enough, Jane you need to do it , just -“ he continued making a poking gesture.

“I am not just going to poke someone’s face” Jane said rolling her eyes . Though admittedly she was tempted to.

“Not everyone is obsessed with my dimples mate,” M said with a laugh while Sungjae whined about missed opportunities.

“Not everyone is but I certainly know somebody who is,” Minah said giggling. Completely ignoring the glare her friend was sending her.

“Don’t you two have places to be,” Jane said with a huff. It was getting cold and Minah’s “help” was not helping at all.

“Hmm we do,” Minah said nodding. To Jane it looked like she was contemplating whether staying here and helping/terrorising her was worth delaying sex. The answer would ofcourse be it’s never worth delaying sex. “Come on baby we should let this two have their movie night ,” Minah said to Sungjae who had already wrapped an arm around her waist. “You better keep M there until lunch time tomorrow actually, pretty sure we are going to be busy all morning too,” she said with a wink loud enough for everyone to hear. M nose wrinkled in disgust , looking over to see his friend completely red burying his face in Minah’s neck to hide his embarrassment. It didn’t last long though because with in a few seconds the couple retreated down the street stopping every couple of feet kiss each other.

“Gross,” Jane muttered before a leather jacket was placed over her shoulders. She looked over to see M shifting nervously, ears slightly redder.

“I was going to offer earlier but those two happened,” M said scratching the back of his neck. “Is it okay because I know I am not your -“ he was stopped when Jane held a hand up.

“It’s more than okay, I was freezing,” Jane said, putting the jacket on properly. “ Are you sure your going to be okay though?”

M was about to reply but his best friend for it was the perfect time to call out that if Jane was wondering M liked his eggs scrambled in the morning, loud enough that random passerby’s looked over at them.

“Oh my god,” Jane said with an embarrassed laugh. “ How much would you really miss him? Be honest ,” she said causing M to chuckle.

“He grows on you but I think after that we definitely need to drink that bottle of champagne you mentioned earlier,” M said with a smirk. “Also I may happen to know Sungjae’s Uber eats account and his credit card details so I think he just volunteered to pay for our food,” he grinned.

“Well in that case we should get going,” Jane laughed. Her eyes drifted down to see M’s hand hestitaing to grab hers , she rolled her eyes linking them. “So on the way to my apartment you can tell me about all the other teen classics you never watched,” she said ignoring the way her heart seemed to race as M’s hands tightened around hers.

“Well you might hate me for this but I’ve never seen Mean Girls,” M said as Jane turned to him with a shocked look. “Let me guess we are going to be watching that next time,” he said his eyes widening as he realised that he implied there would be more of these types of nights.

“Oh no sweetie we are watching that tonight, next time I am making you sit through my favourite French flicks,” Jane giggled.

Of Mars and Jupiter

Epilogue: Mars

“You have to be kidding me,” Tyler hissed, stopping mid-step when he saw who M was talking to. “Really?” he ranted turning to look at Minah and Jane. “Are you two seeing this?” he huffed.

“Yes, I can see my incredibly handsome boyfriend standing next to Daniel who has no memories of his past life and is probably just here to see how his cousin’s first day is,” Jane said. “Seriously Ty just leave him be,” she sighed.

“You can’t prove that,” Tyler huffed. “But i can, I am just going to say hi,” he said eyes narrowing at the boy who conveniently decided to look over just at that moment. Daehyung or Daniel as he is trying to push blinked owlishly before raising an eyebrow and leaning in to whisper something to M who started to laugh like the wish-washy traitor he tends to be.

With one last huff, Tyler stalked forward. From behind him, he could hear Jane groan but he was not going to be stopped. Daehyung could not be trusted under any circumstance and he was determined to prove it. He coughed getting M and his friend’s attention. “Hello M,” Tyler said simply, not friendly, he didn’t deserve friendly yet, not if all it took was a few words of assurance and bam lets accept these people who tried to kill his girlfriend and her sailor guardians (and if you count the silver millennium actually succeeded in doing so.)

“Hi Tyler?” he said, a questioning look was sent to someone over Tyler’s shoulder. He’d assume it was Jane but who knows maybe it was one of the others. “How was your first day of your senior year?” he asked politely.

“Fine nothing interesting happened,” he lied, eyeing Daehyung to gauge a reaction. The boy in question snorted causing Tyler to glare at him. “Is there something funny? He snapped.

“Oh no there is literally nothing funny about school,” Daehyung said in mock seriousness. “Education is very serious,” he said. “I take it you are a friend of M’s girlfriend?” he asked curiously.

“Friend is being generous,” Jane piped up from behind him, Minah stood behind her arms crossed and eyes narrowed. Tyler hummed it was nice to have someone on his side even if she said was fine them being back the way Minah was behaving suggested she trusted Daehyung as much as he did.

“And how did you know i was Jane’s friend?” Tyler said pointedly bringing the attention back to him.

Daehyung starred at him tilting his head. “M told me?” he said simply “Is that a problem?” he questions looking at Tyler curiously.

“Of Course he did,” Tyler brustled, M was pretty flip-floppy when it came to what side he was on. Sure he was brainwashed last time but M didn’t seem like the type to handle peer pressure well, he wasn’t strong like Tyler was the only member of the scouts with a decent taste and he had to remind them that. “And no,” Tyler shrugged nonchalantly. “Why would it be?” he questioned raising an eyebrow, a silent challenge to Daehyung.

“I don’t know,” Daehyung shrugged lightly, “I just assumed i had somehow offended you since you keep glaring at me,” he said raising an eyebrow. “But maybe you are a fan of mine and can’t believe i am here in person,” he said smugly. “Or perhaps, you are trying to figure out your sexuality and trying to assert yourself as the alpha male?” he said tilting his head appraising Tyler. Behind Tyler, he could hear Jane snicker. “Or maybe you are just your run of the mill homophobe which is a shame,” he said with a shrug.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Tyler huffed. “I don’t even know you and my sexuality is fine -” he said as Daniel rolled his eyes. “Not that there is anything wrong with - I just have a girlfriend,” he said reaching out and grabbing Minah who let an affronted “What?!”

“See,” Tyler said. Everyone in their little group looked at him like he had gone insane. Daehyung looked confused by the whole situation. Tyler was about to ask what was so confusing about him having a girlfriend when a brunette girl came barreling towards him.

“Tyler,” Maude exclaimed. “I was hoping to find you, I was thinking that you could show me around town,” she said.

“I don’t think his girlfriend would like that,” Daehyung said with a confused look on his face. “Unless I misunderstood how straight relationships work,” he said looking between Tyler, Maude and Minah.

“His girlfriend?” Maude questioned before looking at Minah, her face twisting into one of disgust. “With that leech,’ she said with a roll of her eyes. “You have to be kidding,” she said laughing haughtily.

“Excuse me,” Minah snapped. “Who the hell -” she began ranting. Tyler hummed it was nice to have two girls fighting over him, he was going to enjoy this experience when he by chance noticed a dark look on Daehyung’s face, a look he was all too familiar with.

“Who the hell is that?” He snapped eyes narrowing. “What is that thing doing around my sweet Emmy,” he ranted.

Epilogue: Jupiter.

To say Lucas had been distracted all day would be an understatement. He had been a ball of energy ever since M had told them that Eunha (and Daehyung by default because of course, they would still be together, Lucas couldn’t be lucky enough to have a Eunha full and Daehyung free existence) had been found. He was excited to meet Emily for the first time, to see if she kept any of the same characteristics of Eunha or was she completely different and just had the same face. He had hoped she was the same just without the evil, not that he believed she was evil before, he knew she was good deep down, even under the negaverses control she was still the most humane out of the four.

He did spend the majority of their walk to school trying to figure out how to reintroduce himself to her, maybe he could somehow get her to his basketball practice and show off his skills while looking in his ‘fan clubs’ opinion at his hottest (in his humble opinion he was always hot,) but fate had other plans and instead a 5ft something came running into him. He was not one to question its intention but maybe they could have gave him a better moment, one where she wasn’t desperately trying to get away from him while looking at him like he was a complete stranger.

It seemed like his plan for getting to know Emily kept having wrenches thrown in it whether it be befriending Mimi or ugly ice cream monsters who attacked her for defending said undeserving friend. Seeing her hurt was enough for him to no longer care about the perfect meeting at this point he had to be apart of her life because if she was anything like M was, she was going to be a monster magnet and he was not letting her die this time.

So that is why he restlessly starred ahead of him, leg bouncing as he watched the clock slowly tick towards the end of the day. He bit his lip wishing the bell would hurry up and ring, he had things to do. He was going to find her, check to see if she was okay after said ice cream monster attack and then charm her into at least being friends.

As soon as the bell rang he leapt to his feet, haphazardly shoving things into his backpack and struggling to zip it up before racing out of the door. He raced down to the courtyard, eyes darting for the first sign of Emily, or any sophomore for that matter. He managed to find one, Soomin, a sweet overly excited girl who happened to have arms linked with Mimi which was good news for Lucas. Looking at the direction they came from he spotted Emily hanging back a frown on her face, his eyes narrowed as he pondered whether threatening a bunch of sophomores was appropriate behaviour for a hero. He reasoned that he was defending someone from evil and that would surely be considered good.

Getting to Emily wasn’t too hard, either she was walking really slow or her tiny legs could barely move ahead - he didn’t really understand the life of short people. Either way, he managed to appear beside her rather easily. “Hello,” he said with a wave. Emily jumped up, a hand quickly covering her heart. Lucas grinned at her. “Sorry for scaring you,” he said apologetically.

“Oh it’s okay,” Emily said looking down, avoiding eye contact with him. “Can i help you with anything?” she muttered.

“Actually,” he said slowly causing Emily to look up panicked. Lucas grinned at the sudden eye contact. “I was actually coming to check on you,” he said. “You know after today?” he said.

Emily’s eyes widened in recognition. “Oh my god,” she muttered.

“Yeah Ice Cream monsters right?” Lucas said scratching the back of his neck. “Not something you expect to see on your first day huh,” he said as Emily’s eyes narrowed. She reached out grabbing him and pulling him towards an empty classroom. Lucas looked at her in shock, well this was escalating quicker then he expected.

“You remember that too?” she whispered softly. Lucas’s eyes widened as he realized no one remembered that apart from the other scouts, or no one should remember that. He looked at her curiously, usually, after a monster attacks everyone just goes on as nothing happened, no memories of what had happened at all yet here Emily was remembering. “Because everyone else thinks i am kinda nuts right now,” she said, a hint of hopefulness shining in her eyes.

“Yes, I remember,” he admitted. Emily looked at him trying to figure out if he was being honest or just trying to trick her obviously finding whatever she needed because moments later he was pulled into a hug. He stiffened surprised by her actions.

Emily pulled away face red. “I am sorry, I shouldn’t have - it’s just my cousin is very affectionate so he is fine with - i shouldn’t have hugged you -” she muttered.

Lucas laughed causing her to frown. “No don’t apologise,” he said quickly, “ I don’t mind you hugging me i was just surprised,” he said with a grin. “Are you okay?” he asked looking at her carefully. “Because i saw that thing attack you,” he continued.

“Oh yeah i guess,” she said, “I just felt a little tired and had a headache-” she added. “But why does no one else remember? And who were those people? You saw them too right? Because when i bought up with my friends - well if they are still my friends -” she continued as Lucas’s eyes narrowed in anger. Maybe he could talk Minah or Jane into threatening a bunch of sophomore girls. It was what they deserved.

“Well i don’t know why no one remembers,” he sighed. “Maybe it’s because we are more intelligent than them,” he said, trying not to coo at the small smile that made its way onto Emily’s face. He had a feeling the reason she remembered was because of who she was in the past but that would mean Enzo should remember what happened too and he was acting fine last time Lucas had seen him. “And you mean the Sailor Scouts? Yeah they are kinda like these mythical heroes, you know the game Sailor V is meant to be based on them,” he said nodding. How Minah became the inspiration for the best selling video game he would never know.

“The green one, I can’t really remember, but I think he saved my life,” she said brows furrowed. Lucas tried not to beam at her remembering him even just slightly.

“Well that is a good thing, it would be a shame if such a pretty girl died because of such an ugly creature,” Lucas grinned at the way Emily flushed.

“Shut up,” she muttered, shoving him slightly,

“And since your friends are being lame,” He said. “I could be your new friend,” he offered. “Unless of course you want to be more than friends,” he winked at her.

Emily sputtered, “I don’t even know your name,” she pointed out. “And are you like this with all your friends?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

“You don’t,” Lucas pouted. “Well it’s Lucas and your name is -” he said pretending not to know her name. “Eunha perhaps?” he said cheekily, eyeing her carefully to see if there was even the slightest hint of recognition, he was sadly disappointed when she just frowned.

“Eunha?” she repeated nose scrunching up. “Do i look like a Eunha?” she questioned, tilting her said to the side. “No, you were right it does start with E, it’s just Emily, plain and kinda boring,” said with a pout.

“I think it’s pretty,” Lucas said sweetly. “And now that we know each other… friends?” he said holding his hand out for her to shake.

Emily looked at his hand for a second before shaking it. “Friends,” she smiled. “We should get going, my cousin is waiting and knowing him ..” she trailed off with a laugh. “It's just best for the school that he isn’t kept waiting too long,” she laughed.

“Well let's get going then,” he said. “Unless you want to stay alone in an empty classroom,” he said wiggling his eyebrows. Emily rolled her eyes, quickly growing immune to his flirting much to his disappointment.

Lucas didn’t expect an angry Daehyung charging towards him as soon as they got out of the gate. “Emily,” Daniel said through gritted teeth. “What are you doing with a boy?” he asked laser-focused on Lucas.

“What’s wrong with that?” Tyler asked from behind him.

“Are you two friends?” Daniel asked quickly looking between himself and Tyler. “Oh you are that’s even worse,” he muttered. “Em i am not sure if this is the type of person you want to be hanging around, his friend has two girlfriends and he is so shameless like the girls know each other and all,” Daniel said shaking his head. “So naturally if they are friends then this guy is also bad so,” he shrugged.

“Let’s go,” he said to Emily who looked apologetically at Lucas mouthing a talk tomorrow to him.

Of French and Ice Cream

Sailor Moon Au : Part Two

“I can’t believe you all crashed my morning coffee date,” Jane huffed looking over at Minah, Tyler, Lucas and, sadly even, Tara and Enzo. “And I can't believe he actually bought you all coffee,” she grumbled as they stepped into Astor Academy.

“Well in my case I am going to assume that I am M’s favourite, other than you of course,” Tara said. Jane's nose scrunched up, she couldn’t even argue against that. Tara was everyone’s favourite, to be honest, many a time she had heard Luna wish she could stay with Tara instead. “And I offered to pay him back for mine,” she said with a frown.

“Maybe M felt guilty about the bad news he shared and realizes he made a stupid decision and is trying to win our forgiveness by giving us coffee,” Tyler snapped taking a sip of his coffee. “Honestly how M even made it to college with his bad decision making,” he continued ranting ignoring the way Jane was plotting his death. Jane took a deep breath in trying to stop herself from snapping, hearing Daehyung or Daniel as he was called now was in town was a bit of shock but if he didn’t shut up soon Jane would have no choice but smacking him across the back of the head.

“Tyler,” Minah warned, “Maybe you boyfriend, bless his heart, understands that going to school is an impossible task without a little caffeine,” Minah said. “Especially when you consider we have to deal with Lucas fangirls and worse - Tyler fangirls,” Minah said with a shudder. “Why would these girls do that to themselves,” she said shaking her head. “They could at least fangirl over Lucas and Enzo instead,” she said earning a glare from Tyler and a smirk from Enzo.

“Maybe M is just nice,” Lucas offered, Jane turned to face him, brows furrowed. “Just saying,” he muttered, shrinking into himself which admittedly was an impressive task given his height. Unlike Tyler’s reaction to hearing about Daehyung, Lucas was a ball of excitement about Eunha possibly coming to their school though he had become more subdued when they got closer to the school.

“Also notice that neither Lucas nor Tyler have been swarmed by their rabid fanbase yet,” Minah said, raising an eyebrow. “Do you think a miracle finally happened and they managed to grow some brain cells?” she asked sarcastically.

“Ha ha ha,” Tyler said with an eye roll.

“It's kinda true though,” Tara said with a frown. “No fangirls and none of the lovestruck fools that normally follow Minah either,” she said, causing Minah to scoff. “You’d think after a whole Summer of not seeing them in person they would be waiting for them to arrive,” she pointed out. “Also where are those girls who usually wait for Jane and Minah to show them how to style their uniform for the year?” she said. Jane and Minah looked over at each other and smirked, it was kinda fun seeing how everyone tried to recreate their style.

“Maybe Minah was right but an even bigger miracle happened and they went and got a life?” Enzo suggested.

“Too unrealistic,” Jane commented, shaking her head. “I bet it's an alien invasion,” Jane half-joked. She was enjoying just being a normal teenage girl who was just trying to figure out how to see her boyfriend but ever since that Asteroid had landed at the start of Summer, Jane (and Luna who hadn’t been able to shut up about it) had a feeling something bad was going to happen.

“Well, maybe we should see what that crowd is looking at?” Enzo said pointing to the staircase where everyone was standing around. Jane’s eyes narrowed as she looked over, spotting the majority of the senior year gathered around the stairs. She even spotted a few of Lucas’s more loyal fangirls.

The group moved over to the staircase, frowning as the sound of a guitar being strummed assaulted her ears. She couldn’t explain it but something about it just seemed weird. Like she knows it should sound nice but it was just off.

“Can anyone see anything?” she asked turning to her friends, Minah and Tara both shook their heads.

“It’s just some guy playing the guitar and a girl standing next to him,” Enzo said, sounding bored. “How boring,” he shrugged, stepping away from the crowd.

“And it’s not Eunha,” Lucas frowned in disappointment. Jane tried not to coo at how cute Lucas was, if Eunha did come to this school she better treat this boy right. “Honestly it’s nothing special,” Lucas shrugged. Jane frowned, she knew her classmates had a habit of idolizing their fellow peers but this was a little ridiculous.

Minah scoffed next to her, “This is so dumb,” she said with a scowl. “Come on let's go, I am not waiting here all day,” she said linking arms with Jane and Tara (who had grabbed onto Enzo not letting him escape this). “Lucas, Lee, let’s go,” she called as she moved forward, Jane was pretty sure she stepped on some people’s feet by accident, unlike Minah who may or may not have dropped her coffee on someone on purpose.

They stopped at the top of the stairs where the guitar boy and his friend stood. Guitar boy stopped playing while the girl looked extremely annoyed by their presence. “Excuse me,” the girl said in an obnoxious and potentially fake french accent.

“Maude no,” Guitar boy said, his eyes solely focused on Minah. Jane raised an eyebrow as this boy stepped forward, reaching out and grabbing Minah’s hand, bringing it up to his lips and kissing it.

“Julien,” Maude all but growled at the guitar boy. “What are you doing?” she asked glaring daggers at Minah. Jane moved forward just enough to shield her friends from this girl.

“Yeah what are you doing?” Tyler said, stepping in front of Minah, puffing his chest out to make him seem tough. “Keep your hands and lips to yourself,” he snapped. Jane rolled her eyes at this testosterone-induced staring contest, men, how tragic.

“Mind your business chipmunk,” Minah said elbowing Tyler.

“Don’t talk to him like that” The girl, Mauve?, snapped, racing over beside Tyler. “Are you okay?” she asked sweetly. Jane turned to Tara wondering if she had any idea what was actually happening but even she looked confused. “I’m Maude, do you need to go see a nurse, I can’t believe that girl you were only looking out for her… how ungrateful,” she continued as Tyler looked at her perplexed.

“I am fine?” he said, raising an eyebrow as the Maude girl leeched onto his arm.

Tyler was saved by the bell ringing and the entire student body pushing past in a rush to get to class leaving their group behind, the newcomers seemingly disappearing in the rush. “Well that was interesting,” Jane said as the six of them stood at the now-abandoned staircase.

“That’s a nice way of putting it,” Enzo said, Tara and Lucas nodded in agreement, all four of them looking over at Minah and Tyler curiously. “Well we have to get going,” he said nodding to Tara and Lucas, “good luck with those two,” he said gesturing to Tyler and Minah who were now bickering.

Jane groaned, “Lucas, your know how you are Tyler and Minah’s favourite?” Jane asked sweetly. “Maybe they would like it better if we swapped classes … just for today -” she said pouting. If Enzo wasn’t around she would have bought up the fact that Lucas was one of her sailor guardians who swore to protect just to make sure she got her way.

“I am not,” he started to say when a girl came running down the hallway cursing herself for being late. They watched said girl crash into Lucas, Jane winced feeling sympathetic for the girl, Lucas was like a wall. “Hey are you okay?” he asked, an arm wrapping around her to stop her from stumbling back. His eyes widened as he took in the girl, mouth hanging open.

“Oh i am fine, sorry,” The girl said, causing Jane, Tara, Minah and Tyler to turn and look at her. They all knew that voice, it was Eunha, well Emily as she apparently goes by now. Jane didn’t think it was a coincidence that she did end up going to the same school as them, just like them being in the same apartment as M wasn’t whether it be by design or fate.

“Why are we all staring at that girl?” Enzo whispered. Jane snapped out of her thoughts to see the girl shifting uncomfortably.

“I am just gonna,” she said as she wriggled out of Lucas' grip. ”Excuse me,” she said nodding before racing down the hall leaving a pouting Lucas in her wake.

“Well that - let’s just go to class,” Jane said with a frown. “We can figure out what is going on during lunch,” she said.

      ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

  Jane never imagined being the fifth wheel at their table despite being the only one of her friends who was actually in a relationship but here she was watching as Minah and Tyler both dealt with the school's newest students. Julien and Maude, two exchange students from France who in Jane’s oh so humble opinion had some of the worst french accents she had ever heard and she had heard a few.

She had zoned out halfway through this lunch, Tara and Lucas had stayed for a few minutes but after the Julien and Maude show decided that they had to catch up with their other friends and they would talk about Emily and Daniel later.

“I find it hard to believe someone as beautiful as you doesn’t have a boyfriend,” Julien commented looking at Minah with what could only be described as heart eyes. Minah hummed, looking down with the smallest smiles on her face. Jane raised an eyebrow, she had never seen Minah be affected by any guy flirting with her, especially not with such a basic line. If anything it was usually Minah flirting and reducing the boys to a puddle only to leave them because she wasn’t interested in anything serious.

“I can, she isn’t that pretty,” Maude said haughty, looking down her nose at Minah. Jane’s eyes narrowed a silent plea for the brunette to continue so she could punch her stupid face for saying such nonsense.

“Oh that is because she isn’t looking, we have a will they won’t they thing going on,” Tyler said glaring at Julien. Jane covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. “Plus our dear Minah is dealing with some issues thanks to her ex,” he pretended to whisper before letting out a yowl. It didn’t take a genius to figure Minah had kicked him under the table.

“We have nothing going on,” Minah said, eyes narrowed.

“That’s not what you said last night,” Tyler shrugged, a cocky smirk on his face. Jane looked between the two of them not noticing the way both Julien and Maude looked practically murderous. “Why must you hide our love like this?” he said dramatically.

“I will end you,” Minah said through gritted teeth.

“I think we should go,” Julien said standing up, Maude followed suit. Jane felt a little sympathetic for the pair, mostly for Julien (if she was going to be completely honest.) having to witness this argument it was disturbing for her to watch she could imagine what it would be like to be an almost stranger watching along.

“Oh no don’t leave, especially not because of that fool,” she said reaching out to grab Julien's wrist. Jane raised an eyebrow at the way Maude seemed to fume, her eyes narrowed at Minah’s hand. “Or how about I come with you,” she said sweetly, eyes fluttering and a soft smile on her lips. Jane rolled her eyes knowing that Julien was a goner. The boy nodded, a dumb smile making its way onto his face and like that the pair had gone, walking off to the other side of the schoolyard. Maude had been completely forgotten.

“I am still going,” Maude said, eyes darting to Tyler hopefully.

“Okay see you in class,” Tyler shrugged before turning to Jane. “Can you believe her? What is Minah thinking?” he ranted. Jane once again had to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing at Tyler’s complete dismissal of Maude. “What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep covering your mouth?” he said, sparing Jane an annoyed glance. “I swear everyone is losing their mind today,” he said shaking his head.

“Just a cough,” Jane lied. “And you say that like you are not included in the mind losing,” she said shaking her head. “Saying all that stuff to Minah, it’s like you have a death wish,” Jane commented.

“I am saving her from her own terrible taste,” Tyler shrugged. “Between Minah and Lucas, i swear i am going to be exhausted. Let's hope Enzo does his job and keeps fools around for Tara,” he grumbled, a determined flash behind his eyes.

“You could just, you know, mind your own business and not get involved,’ Jane said in a sing-song voice causing Tyler to roll his eyes.

“Clearly i can’t,” Tyler said simply, “Lucas wants to run into the mess that is Eunha and Minah is going around with Julien who by the way smells like dead roses,” he huffed.

“You were smelling him?” Jane asked, scrunching her nose up. “That’s a little weird,” she said looking at Tyler judgmentally.

“Tyler’s being weird again, nice to know somethings don’t change,” Lucas teased, making his presence known. Tyler rolled his eyes, flicking a crumb up at Lucas. “Did you really smell him?” he asked looking at Tyler curiously.

“Oh shush,” Tyler said with a huff. “You can’t judge me, mister. I've been following Eunha around like a sad little puppy dog,” he said, judgment clear in his voice.

“Her name is Emily now thank you very much,” Lucas corrected. “And i have not, I’ve been with the guys,” he said proudly before pouting. “Plus even if i did want to talk to Emily she has become friends with Mimi,” he said sitting down where Minah had been sitting. “Why is life so unfair?” he questioned.

“Oh stop being so dramatic,” Jane said. “Who cares if she is friends with a girl who doesn’t like you because you beat her high score at some silly Sailor V game,” Jane said, rolling her eyes at the whole situation. “I am sure one proper look at you and Eun- Emily will be in love,” Jane said patting his back. “And if she isn’t there are plenty of other girls who would love to be with you,” she added.

“Though your fan club as dwindled thanks to that new weirdo,” Tyler said with an eye roll. “You know I saw him making eyes at Eunha just before,” Tyler teased, smiling faintly.

“Please that boy only has a heart eyes for Minah, mon cheri ,” Jane said mockingly, Julien’s use of the French language irked Jane but to his credit, he did better than Maude who seemed to just make odd noises. “And if Lucas’s fan club has dwindled then yours must be non-existent now,” she said looking at Tyler who blanched at the thought.

“Look just because neither you nor your boyfriend are fan club worthy but -” Tyler started to speak but was cut off by the sound of an ice cream truck jingle. Jane’s brows furrowed together, she would never say no to ice cream on a hot day but they had never heard an ice cream truck around their school, well ever.

It was like everyone paused as the truck's song continued to play, “creepy,” Lucas muttered under his breath. The day got even stranger as the school gates opened allowing the truck to come in. Their principal was notably strict about what was and what wasn’t allowed in their schools, Jane can recall that one time Antoine tried to order a pizza at school - he was in detention for two months and had to work as a delivery driver for one of them.

Within the blink of an eye majority of the student body had surrounded the truck causing Jane to pout. She wanted to get an ice cream cone but with that line lunch would be over before even half of the crowd disappeared.

“You’d think they’d have never seen an ice cream van before,” Tyler murmured, face contorting into one of thinly veiled disgust. “How childish,” he said with an eye roll.

“Okay Mr I’m too cool for ice cream,” Jane said, watching as Tara and Minah made their way over. She raised an eyebrow last time she looked over at Tara was chatting away with her friends and Minah had disappeared with Julien, probably to find an empty classroom ‘to get to know each better’.

“Problems?” she asked as they arrived, the pair couldn’t look any different, Tara’s eyes were downcast and she chewed her lip while Minah stood with her hand on hip and annoyed huff escaping her lips.

“Apparently Julien really likes ice cream,” Minah said rolling her eyes. “As soon as he heard it he was all like i have to go excuse me and just disappeared on me, people do not disappear on me,” she ranted.

“Julien and the entire school,” Tara said, “Does anyone else find it weird how literally raced over?” she questioned.

“Everyone but us,” Lucas pointed out rather unhelpfully.

“Yeah, but at the same time it’s the first day of school, who doesn’t need a mid-afternoon pick me up?” Jane questioned, trying to squash the nerves in her stomach. This year was going to be normal, she was going to have a normal senior year dealing with normal girl problems. No negaverse. No Beryl. Just homework and boy problems ( not that she has those.)

“I know but everyone, I am pretty sure one of the girls in my grade is lactose intolerant,” Tara pointed out.

“Oh and Stephanie told me once she doesn’t eat ice cream because it ruins your skin so -” Lucas frowned. “But maybe it’s the first-day blue’s, I felt little nuts after Mr Warren’s class,” he added hopefully.

“Hey T, i got you an ice cream,” Tara’s friend Ara called out, tossing a wrapped ice cream at Tara before taking a bit of her soft serve and fainting.

“Ara,” Tara raced over to where Ara had just fallen, Tyler followed after her. While Minah and Jane shared a concerned look.

“Looks like the negatrash is back,” Lucas said looking around the schoolyard as students rapidly started to fall to the ground.

“Unfortunately,” Jane said with a frown. She couldn’t believe it though, she had beaten Metalia, the evil force had been defeated by the power of the silver crystal. It couldn’t be Enzo she thought, maybe Daehyun and Eunha? But why would they? Sungjae was a possibility, no one had seen or heard from since the rebirth and he was the most heavily influenced. Maybe he was calling the shots, somehow got Daehyun and Eunha to work for him. Regardless she needed to deal with the problem at hand. “Moon! Prism! Power,” she shouted to transform. Minah and Lucas had followed suit transforming into Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter respectively.

“Mimi,” They looked towards the van seeing Eunha crouching down next to her new friend. “What the hell did you do?” she shouted towards whoever was in the van. The only thing that could be heard was maniacal laughing and icy tentacle springing from inside the van. The tentacle wrapped around her waist holding her in place as it started to drain her energy.

Jane and Minah didn’t have time to react as Lucas raced forward. “Supreme Thunder!” he called out as a lightning bolt sprung from his crown at the tentacle creature. Eunha crumbled to the ground barely able to move. That ruled her out as a possible suspect.

The monster leapt out of the van, as expected it was as ugly as ever. A vaguely human esque blue creature with tentacles for arms, its eyes were shaped like snowflakes and its midsection was covered in what looked like sprinkles. The creature hissed at Lucas who was now standing protectively in front of Emily.

“Venus love chain,” Minah called out, her power whipping the monster causing it to swirl around to face herself and Jane.

“Hey Ugly,” Jane called out, causing the monster to turn around to see her and Minah. “Yeah you, I get that you aren’t from around here but this isn’t going to end well for you,” she said down at the monster in contempt. “I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice and i say on the behalf of the moon, I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you,’ she said with her usual arm movements. By this point, she had her speech down a fine art.

The creature turned to hiss at her before lifting one of it tentacle arm up and aiming it directly at Jane. Jane watched in morbid curiosity as it opened revealing a slimy ball of what looked like at icecream. “Gross now icecream has been ruined for me forever,” she muttered. The ball of icecream grew bigger that closer it got to Jane, she leapt out of the way only to see Minah got caught in a ball of ice cream.

Despite the seriousness of the situation Jane had to stop herself from laughing because honestly, the image in front of her was hilarious. She couldn’t look for too long because the monster hadn’t forgotten about her and started to rapidly fire at her causing her to run and jump all over the yard. The one plus side with a Jane sized distraction the monster had forgotten all about Lucas who had moved to aid Minah who was less than happy about her situation.

“Can you give me a break,” Jane panted, she had to get back into her old Cardio program if she was going to be doing all this running again because right she was really struggling. The monster hissed, using one of its tentacles to reach and grab Jane. “Crap,” Jane snapped as she was hung upside down by the monster.

Jane struggled to fight her way out of it. “Mars fire ignite,” was heard before a fireball hit the tentacle causing Jane to be released with a thud.

“Everyone say thank you Sailor Mars, you have the best power,” Tyler boasted. He was served a piece of humble pie when the creature took aim at him, he just escaped. “Mercury a little help right now,” he said through gritted teeth.

“Oh i thought Sailor Mars could handle this since he has the best powers,” Tara called out from whatever she was, Jane spun around trying to figure out where exactly she was but had no luck. “Mercury Aqua Mist,” was heard before the whole school was covered in mist. Any chances she had of finding Tara was gone now all she could see was the ugly ice cream sundae in front of her.

Jane knew that this was her opportunity to finish that creature off. “Moon Tiara Magic,” she exclaimed, attacking the creature watching as it let out a pained screech and turning into a vapour leaving nothing but what looked like a card. That was new. Jane stepped forward tentatively picking the card up. It was empty except for a border. She hummed pocketing it, she would show Luna it when she got home. Maybe she had an idea of what it meant.

She knew soon the rest of the school would be waking up and if it was anything like when Shitennou attacked they would have no memory of what happened at all, it was as weird as it was annoying. Luna had tried to explain why it happens to her once but Jane at the time didn’t really care and now she was too afraid to ask knowing that she will get a scolding from her moon guardian.

“I am never eating ice cream again,” Minah said shivering, “That was disgusting,” she whined. Jane looked at her sympathetically as they began to de-transform. “So much for a normal life huh,” she said somewhat bitterly. “Let’s just go to class before the rest of the masses wake up,” she huffed.

“I thought you look pretty…. Cool,” Tyler said chuckling causing everyone but Lucas who was moving an unconscious Emily into a more comfortable position. What a gentleman. “Hey it’s not my fault she looked pretty sweet, too bad Julien wasn’t around i am sure he’d tell Minah she looked yummy,” he continued.

“Oh that is it,” Minah said smacking his side causing Tyler’s eyes to widen. “I’ve had enough of you today,” she said as Tyler raced away, Minah following after him threatening to cause him serious harm.

“Do you think it’s the negaverse again?’ Tara asked quietly. “Should i be keeping an eye on Enzo?”

“I don’t know,” Jane sighed, that was her answer to both questions. She didn’t know what was going on anymore but Minah was right their hopes of a normal year were dashed.

Sailor Moon Au

“You good?” Jane asked poking M’s dimple to get him to pay attention to her. “You kinda zoned off on me there,” she said pouting. M laughed, a muttered apology escaping his lips.

They were sat in their, well Jane’s booth at the arcade, Tara had managed to drag Enzo along to the library, Lucas was sat at one of the racing games surrounded by his fans. Minah and Tyler were sat two booths behind them spying - well trying to spy, M was pretty sure if the people you were spying knew you were there it wasn’t too effective.

Jane hummed taking a sip of her iced tea, she looked at M with a small frown on her face. “But seriously M if something is bothering you, you can tell me,” Jane said softly, wrapping her hand around his and squeezing softly. “We are a team,” she said. M smiled kissing the top of her head, memories of her giving up on - well delaying - being the new ruler of the Silver Millennium to stay on earth with her friends, with him.

“Its nothing serious,” M said as Jane’s eyes narrowed. “Really,” he said with a laugh, “I guess i just -” he said pausing trying to figure out how to explain what he was feeling, he was still trying to process everything that had happened over the last couple of months.

“M i wouldn’t care if you were upset because Tyler ugly Gucci sweater was hurting your eyes, I would want to know,” Jane said as an affronted hey could be heard behind them. “Now tell me before i steal the rest of your fries,” Jane threatened.

“I just… wonder what happened to the rest of them,” He said, he didn’t need to say who the them was, especially not with prying and disapproving ears nearby. The only reason Enzo managed to sneak back into the fold was because Tyler was weak for his pseudo younger sister and still held onto a lot of guilt of what happened to her during the silver millennium.

Jane sighed pressing a soft kiss into his skin before lifting her head. “I am sure they are okay,” she said giving him a small smile. “They get to live their lives out as normal people, its what they deserve after being effectively brainwashed for over a century,” she said. M nodded, thinking about his knights was hard because he missed people he barely knew. “If you are meant to find each other, I am sure it will happen just like it did with us,” she bopping his nose. “Trust me, earth boy,” she said with a grin. “I am Sailor Moon after all,” she boasted.

“Of course if the Sailor Moon tells me to trust her then what choice do i have,” M teased. “Anyway we better get you home,” he said. “It’s the first day of your senior year tomorrow,” M said laughing as Jane’s face scrunched up in disgust.

“Don’t remind me,” She huffed. “Why can’t summer last forever,” she whined.

“I think it might be bad for the planet, you know ice caps melting and all,” M teased as Jane huffed. “But seriously it will be fine,” he said rubbing her back. “Before you know it the year will be over and you will get to graduate with your best friend… and Tyler,” he said.

“I won’t see you as much,” Jane pouted. “Are you sure you have to go university?” she whined. “You could just work at the arcade full time and be there in the afternoon to make my day better,” she said, “Or better yet you could work at the school, i think you made a great gardener, the perfect distraction for when i don’t want to pay attention in class,” she grinned.

“You’ll still see me,” M assured her. “And maybe you could just study hard so you can go to the same university as me next year,” M offered.

“Well that is a given,” Jane said as if it was the most obvious thing the world. “Us going to university together was never in question it’s just can’t you do a gap year so we can start together,” she said as her phone rang out, she picked up and rolled her eyes. “It’s Etienne,” she said her nose scrunching up. “I better get going,” she frowned. “We are still meeting at our normal spot tomorrow morning right?” she asked ignoring her phone completely.

“Of course,” M nodded smiling softly, “I’ll bring the coffee, you bring the croissants,” he said. Jane grinned pecking his lips before getting up. “Text me when you get home,” he said standing up as well to walk her out.

“I will, I will,” she said doing a mock salute. “Tyler and Minah our date is over so you can come out now,” Jane called out to her two friends who stood up looking annoyed.

“And we care because?” Tyler said rolling his eyes. “We were on our own date,” he boasted as Minah turned to look at him with a disgusted face.

“You wish you overgrown chipmunk,” Minah with an eye roll. “And i’ll take a caramel frappuccino M, since you are offering to bring coffee tomorrow, it’s my first day of senior year as well you know,” she said turning to face M, a smirk that had bought many a man to their knees on her face.

“Oh, I’ll have -” Tyler started.

“Don’t even try it, Lee,” Jane said with a glare. “Should we tell Lucas we are leaving?” she said looking over towards the small crowd that had gathered around the younger boy. Minah scoffed looking over at the group, shaking her head as she glared at the group of girls.

“Pathetic,” she spat. “I better go save him before he is stuck trying to appease those idiots,” she said with a scowl. Minah wasn’t exactly a fan of Lucas’s mini fan club, in fact, she had called them rabid vultures on more than a few occasions. “Honestly he is too nice to his own good,” she muttered.

“He got it from me,” Tyler said boastfully as Minah once again rolled her eyes. “What? i taught him everything he knows,” Tyler said proudly. Jane had told M about how Tyler had pretty much adopted Lucas after he was revealed as the third Sailor Scout, even changing schools to guide him.

“You taught him nothing,” Minah said rolling her eyes. “If anything you’ve been a bad influence on him, poor baby looking up to you,” she said. “But since you care so much about your protege go get him,” she said pushing Tyler forward. Tyler stumbled turning only to glare at Minah before marching forward to Lucas.

“You know M we are friends,” Minah said out of nowhere causing M to look at her as if she had grown a second head. “I am just saying if you are lonely you don’t need to find-” she started but stopped a frown. “We are you, friends, as well,” she said. M didn’t need to look over at Jane to know she was beaming, her best friend and her boyfriend being friends was all she wanted. M was saved from replying when an annoyed Tyler returned with a laughing Lucas.

“What happened?” Jane asked looking at the two amused by their respective moods.

“Well Tyler came over to get me,” Lucas started, “And you know Tyler, he was being nice and most of the girls were charmed by him but - “ he said before breaking into a fit of giggles, M had to chuckle there was something funny about this deep voice giant boy giggling. “But Stephanie, you know the girl with glasses, she said -” he continued to speak. Tyler scowled beside him, elbowing him. “That she wasn’t interested in old men and that he should be home at the nursery home instead of bugging me,” Lucas said.

Jane and Minah began to giggle before Tyler narrowed his eyes. “You two shouldn’t laugh, she called you two hags who are clearly trying to hook up with Lucas,” he said. M tried not to laugh at the way both Jane and Minah’s face fell and morphed into a pure murderous rage.

“As if!” They both said at the same time. “No offence Lucas, you are very cute but i already have my man,” Jane said kissing M’s cheek as to prove a point.

“And i would never,” Minah said a look of pure disgust on her face. “You are like a brother to me, that is just no -” she said shaking her head. “As the leader of the Sailor Scouts, i say no more Stephanie,” she huffed. A chorus of agrees came from Jane and Tyler respectively.

“Let’s just get going, I don’t want that deluded woman’s words to ruin my night,” Minah said linking arms with Lucas. “And you and I, my sweet boy are going to have a long discussion about why you shouldn’t let those idiotic kids leach off you,” she said as they walked off.

“I think we should go to my grandfather’s temple tomorrow,” Tyler said following after them. “Do some sort of spirt cleanse to make sure you don’t attract any more bad vibes,” he added. M watched after them with an amused smile, Jane’s friends were certainly something.

“I guess this is where we part old man,” Jane said turning around to face him.

“Yeah, if Tyler is an old man then i bet get going back to the crypt,” M joked. “You better get going, i heard little old ladies like you need their beauty sleep,” he said causing Jane to glare playfully. “But seriously between Etienne and Luna if you don’t get home soon, I’ll seriously fear for my life,” he joked.

“Fine,” Jane sighed. “I guess i will have to go home to save you from my stepfather and cat,” she said in mock seriousness. With one final goodbye kiss, Jane raced off after her friends leaving M to go in the opposite direction back to his own apartment.

--

M sighed as he walked into his apartment block, he had finished a quick grocery shop for the basics and was ready to curl up on his couch and read a good book or maybe browse Netflix and see if they finally recommend him something he actually wants to watch. He considered walking up the flight of stairs, recently he had been taking the stairs because it was ‘healthy’ realistically he had been wearing shorts more often and as sad as it was he wanted his legs to look good but he tonight he is just going to take the easy way out and go on the elevator.

Stepping into the elevator, he pressed his floor number and moved into a corner, placing his shopping bags on the ground. He leaned back relaxing his little corner as the doors started to close when he saw two people racing forward to the elevator shouting for him to keep the door open. M stepped forward stopping the door from shutting just long enough for the pair to get into the elevator.

M stepped back letting the door close with full force. “Thank you so much,” a female voice called out. M turned to look at the panting pair in front of him, his eyes widening with recognition there in front of him was Daehyung and Eunha. While they look almost identical to their previous incarnations there were a few subtle differences, the biggest being the blonde hair that Daehyung always had has been replaced by light brown locks. Eunha perhaps looked a year or two younger then her past version had.

“Ah yeah no problem,” M said awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. “What floor?” M asked unable to stop staring at the twosome. It was a peculiar sensation to be in such a small space with them given his last actual memory of them was fighting against them (there was, of course, his very last memory of seeing them die but he was under Beryl and Metalia’s control so everything was fuzzy and honestly was that memory even he is own, he wasn’t sure).

“The Ninth,” Daehyung spoke eyeing M curiously, M wondered momentarily if there were some remnants of his past memories left maybe he recognised him somehow. “Is that your package?” Daehyung asked cocking an eyebrow as he eyes raked over M.

“Daniel,” Eunha said, it sounded like a warning. “Stop it,” she said with a roll of her eyes.

“I was talking about that,” he said nodding to M’s groceries. “Though if our elevator saver would like to show me any of his other packages i wouldn’t mind,” Daehyung said, well Daniel said, winking at M. M blinked in response, he’d never known Daehyung to flirt with him, he was in whatever it was with Sungjae before and from his rather limited memories of the silver millennium he was more interested in Tyler.

“Daniel,” Eunha repeated shaking her head. “Can you please stop flirting with every guy we run into? Wasn’t it bad enough you got rejected by that one guy just before?” she asked. M had to stop himself from laughing at the face Daniel pulled in response.

“I do not flirt with every guy,” Daniel huffed, “I have standards, thank you very much,” he said very much affronted and offended. “And i wasn’t rejected, that other guy just didn’t understand me,” Daniel said, “stupid shortie,” he muttered under his breathe. “And our saviour over here hasn’t said no,” he said wagging his eyebrows at M causing M to break out into laughter. “Well that’s rude,” Daniel said, stepping back as Eunha patted his back sympathetically.

“No its not like that,” M said quickly, “I am very flattered and if i was single and gay i would definetly take you up on whatever you were offering,” M said as Daniel looked at him with a confused look on his face. “But i am straight and taken so -” he shrugged.

“What a waste,” Daniel said rolling his eyes.

M coughed, “And since we live on the same floor I should introduce myself, Hi i’m M,” he said with a small wave.

“We have to introduce ourselves to everyone who live on our floor?” Daniel questioned. “Ah how exhausting,” he whined with a pout. M tried not to smile at the difference, just a few seconds he was a confident flirt and now a cute whiny baby. “Fine,” He sighed. “I am the Daniel Choi and this is my cousin Emily,” he said, gesturing to Eunha who was staring down, the tiniest hint of a blush on her face.

“The Daniel Choi?” M asked curiously. The previous version of Daehyung was very arrogant, always boasting how he was better than well everyone, so he wouldn’t be surprised if Daniel was the same.

“Yes the Daniel Choi,” Daniel said, rolling his eyes. “I am a model, a very famous one at that,” he said sounding offended. “But i don’t suppose you would know that,” he said looking at M, “I should figured out anyone who would wear that shirt wouldn’t know anything about fashion,” he huffed.

“Daniel,” Emily said shaking her head. “I am sorry about my cousin, he doesn’t do well with meeting new people,” she said glaring at her cousin who only rolled his eyes in response . “It’s nice to meet you M,” she said, turning her attention back to him. “I am assuming M is short for something?” she questioned.

“Ofcourse it is,” Daniel exclaimed. “Who would name their child after a letter?” he said with an eye roll,,” And if they were why would they choose M and not a better letter like A or Z or Q,” Daniel said. “M is not a top 10 letter is all i am saying,” he ranted.

“You have ranked the alphabet?” Emily asked looking at her cousin incredulously. “And again i am sorry about my cousin M is a perfectly acceptable nickname,” she said politely to M.

“Not really but i figure a lame letter E would be last,” Daniel said as if it was something important, “Or like W, i don’t know? but D would definitely be at the top,” he said matter o’factly.

“Why is E last?” Emily whined childishly, “Lots of good things start with E?” she said pouting.

“Sweetie,” Daniel said condescendingly, “You are an expectation to the rule, name another good thing that starts with E?” Daniel challenged.

“Earth?” M interjected, “It's a pretty good place if you ask me,” he added as Emily turned to Daniel a victorious look on her face. A mumbled no one asked you escaped Daniel’s mouth. “And to answer your question yes M is short for something,” M said to Emily.

“Shock horror,” Daniel said mockingly.

“Anyway to apologize for my cousin being rude … again,” Emily said, sounding very tired. “Would you like to have dinner with us?” she offered sweetly.

“Emmy,” Daniel warned with an almost growl, “Sweetie, my lovely baby cousin, you can’t just invite random men to our apartment,” Daniel says in a sarchaningly sweet tone. “Especially not straight ones,” he practically spat. “And you don’t even think of accepting, she is a highschooler,” he said to M. From the murderous look he was receiving M felt like Daehyun was back in the room with him.

“Daniel,” Emily snapped, “Firstly I am not inviting a random man, I am inviting M, one of our new neighbours, to dinner. Secondly you invited random men to our house all the time, all types of men , “she said, putting particular emphasis on all types of men. “And lastly you are high schooler too Einstein,” she huffed.

“Excuse us,” Daniel said to M, before pulling Emily to the opposite side of the elevator. M watched as the pair had what looked like a very intense conversation, given the confined space they were in he was impressed with how much he couldn’t hear. The discussion ended with Daniel pulling a face before stomping back over to M head hung low.

“Would you like to come to our apartment for dinner because apparently we need to have some friends in this apartment,” Daniel grumbled reluctantly. M looked over Daniel’s shoulder to see Emily giving him a thumbs up.

“Uh well I would love to but i’ve already eaten,” He said, frowning at how that sounded like a lame excuse, “But I could hang out for a little bit, if you want?” M offered. “It might come as a shock to you since we just met but I don't exactly have many friends in this apartment either,” he said. A voice from the back of his head sang out that he didn’t have many friends in general but no one needed to know that.

“Ofcourse,” Emily said with a nod just as the elevator dinged signalling they were on the ninth floor.

“Great, I’ll just drop these off in my apartment first,” M said, lifting up his groceries bags. “Would you like me to bring anything over?” M offered.

Daniel and Emily shared a look, before sheepishly grinning at M. “Well you see we haven’t really finished unpacking,” she said scratching the back of her neck. “So maybe you could bring some plates?” she said, looking down trying to hide her embarrassment with her hair.

“Sure no problem,” M said with a smile. “If you ever need help unpacking I am a pretty organized person,” M boasted as he stepped out of the elevator, Daniel and Emily followed suit stepping out. “By the way what apartment are you?“ he asked.

“906,” Emily answered. M nodded in response, he should have figured that out Mrs Bennett, a nosey old lady who M was not fond off in the slightest had moved out to live with her daughter and her ‘adorable’ grandchildren, a bratty pair of four year olds who once broke the apartments elevator with their experiments.

“Okay i’ll see you guys in a few minutes,” M said as he stepped in front of his apartment, Daniel spared a second glance before sauntering down the hallway. Emily gave her an apologetic smile before following after her cousin.

M stepped into his home, a cozy (read small) one bedroom apartment, reaching out and flicking the lights on M moved to kitchen area dropping his groceries on the bench. He pulled out his phone contemplating whether he should message Jane about the latest developments. It seemed his choice was made for him when his phone chimed letting him know he had a message.

moon princess🌙 : got home safely ✌️

moon princess🌙 : minah says she got home safely as well.

M pulled his lip between his teeth as he tried to figure out how he should tell Jane about Daniel and Emily. He briefly considered not telling her just yet, after all what would be the point of potentially stressing anyone (Tyler) out but Daniel did mention Emily was a highschooler so there was a very slim chance she would end up at the same school as Jane and her guardians.

tuxedo m 🌹 : and that is good to know ….🤨

tuxedo m 🌹: he is just trying to look after you, he is a little misguided but he means well

tuxedo m 🌹: and true you hags wouldn’t be able to handle an attack from her

tuxedo m 🌹: i am not entirely sure… maybe

He didn’t get a chance to finish responding when his phone started to ring. M sighed, pressing answer, “M are you okay? What is going on? Do I need to come over?” she asked in a rush, M smiled imagining Jane ready to fight whatever imaginary enemy she thinks M had run into.

“Jane, I am fine,” He said loud enough to get Jane’s attention. “It is just,” he said taking a breath, “ you know how i said if i was meant to find the shitennou i would, well i did,” he said glancing towards the door. “Well two of them anyway,” he added.

“Oh,” Jane said, “Hang on a second i have to put this on speaker Luna is demanding to know what is going on,” she said, M could hear the eye roll through the phone. “Okay done,” she said, in the background M could hear Luna telling Jane off. “Anyway, so which two? Please tell me its not Sungjae and Daehyung,” Jane whined. “If they are a couple again I swear,” she growled.

“She means because they were pretty dangerous last time,” Luna said seriously. M put his own phone on speaker moving about his kitchen, putting the perishables in the fridge.

“Well yeah but also if i see Minah sad it’s on sight and also i don’t need to remind anyone here how annoying Tyler Lee can be,” Jane huffed. M winced as memories of the Sungjae and Daehyung romance came to mind, from what he could recall from his time on the ‘dark side’ was that the relationship was toxic and actually left him feeling sorry for Daehyung.

“Well you got one of them, it’s Daehyung and Eunha,” he said as closed as his fridge. “But they go by Daniel and Emily now,” he said. “Apparently Daehyung, well Daniel, is a model these days,” he said hearing Jane snort in the background. “Still cocky as always but seems nice enough,” he said. “He even hit on me,” he said.

“He did what now?” Jane said. “Should i be worried?” she asked, it sounded like she was joking but M heard the tiniest hint of panic in her tone.

“Of Course not, “ M said softly. “And yeah I think he just flirts with a reasonably attractive guy,” he said with a shrug knowing full well neither Jane nor Luna could see him.

“I am gonna ignore that reasonably attractive guy comment because we both know you are hot,” Jane said causing M to laugh. “So Daehyung, i mean Daniel is a model and Eunha?” she questioned.

“Emily seems pretty nice to be honest,” M said, “which isn’t that surprising all things considered,” he shrugged. She had only joined the shitennou because Daehyun was did, technically she wasn’t even a shitennou. Even as a villain she was more mild, she wasn’t nearly as ruthless as the others. “She is a highschool student, I am not sure which school she will be going to so i figured i’d give you a heads up,” M said.

“So they don’t have any idea about who they were before?” Luna interjected, “Are you sure they aren’t acting?” she asked.

“Well i am pretty sure they aren’t,” M said, “I am going over to their apartment now to see what they are like,” he said.

“Are you sure that is a good idea?” Jane asked, sounding more than a little concerned. “You don’t have to rush into this friendship,” she said. “You don’t have to be friends with them just because they came back,” she said.

“I know,” M sighed, “but I want to get to know them, they are different from how they were before I am sure,” he said. He just knew deep down they weren’t evil anymore, Enzo wasn’t so there was no reason for them to be. They were just two people who looked like someone he used to know. They weren’t Daehyun and Eunha, they were Daniel and Emily and he wanted to know them.

He could hear Jane sigh and what sounds like Luna being muffled by a pillow, “Okay,” she said. “But stay safe and keep me posted,” Jane added. M could tell she didn’t really agree with what he was doing but he was grateful she wasn’t pushing it. After that there wasn’t a lot to be said so with one last ‘love you’ the call ended and M grabbed some plates and headed to apartment 906.

He was about to knock on the door when it swung open and Daniel stood there leaning against the door frame. “Emily is cooking,” he said simply before giving M the once over. “Look i am sure you are nice but there are a few things we have to go over before you are allowed in,” he said pushing himself up and letting the door close behind him.

“Firstly and most importantly if i even hear a whisper of you trying to anything with my cousin i will destroy you,” he said cooly. M nodded ready to bring up the fact that he had a girlfriend but was cut off by Daniel. “Secondly, don’t bring up our family situation infront of Emily,” Daniel said. M frowned nodding, now that he thought about it was a bit peculiar that they were living together with no actual adult figure. “Look, her mother isn’t the greatest and i don’t need some noodle shaped man reminding her off that,” he said.

“I won’t,” M said. Daniel hummed a muttered ‘you better not’ escaping his lips. “Is there anything else I should know before you let me in?” he asked hoping that didn’t seem rude, he was pretty sure it looked a little odd, him just standing there with plates in his hands while Daniel in his Celine shirt and fitted black slacks told him off.

“She is never about going to school tomorrow so maybe keep the school talk to a minimum,” Daniel said with a shrug. “And that is all i can think off right now,” Daniel said, scrunching his nose up as he thought. “Just be cool, Em for whatever reasons thinks we need more people in our life so you know don’t mess that up,” he said.

“You know she is lucky to have a cousin like you,” M said trying not to laugh at the way Daniel’s face suddenly change, the tiniest hint of a blush made its way onto his cheek.

“You don’t need to suck up, “ Daniel said as he composed himself, his confidant mask back on. “Come on in, we need the plates,” Daniel said with eye roll as he opened the door. M grinned stepping into their apartment. Yes he knew he was meant to be here.

The Sleep Over PT 1

M Included : Jane, Minah, Sungjae, Tyler , Daniel, Milo, Charlie, Astrid , Minjae. Oli  Mentioned : Tara, Mark, Ella , Suho 

“Daddy, is it one o’clock yet?” Charlotte asked from her seat at the kitchen counter, her coloured pencil tapping against the counter impatiently. “I can’t understand that old clock,” she said pouted glaring at the old grandfather clock in the corner of the kitchen.  M chuckled moving to lean down beside his daughter. 

“Not quite love,” he said. “You see you need both hands of the clock to be on the one,” he explained. “And what is the rush? Are Mummy and I not enough for you anymore?” he asked. 

“Daddy there are no hands-on that clock, what are you talking about?” Charlie said shaking her head. “And yes you are,” she said sound far too tired for a three-year-old. “but mummy and Milo have gone to the shopping and you said i can’t go on the jumping castle until one,” she said pouted waving her pencil at him. “Plus I haven’t seen my friends since Thursday,” she sniffed. M bit back a chuckle, it was only two days but he was sure to Charlie it felt like a lifetime. She couldn’t go to daycare yesterday because she had a bad case of the sniffles. “I don’t even know what happens with Miss Barrett and Mr Jackson!” she exclaimed dramatically. 

“What is happening with Miss Barrett and Mr Jackson?” M asked brows furrowing in confusion. 

“I don’t know,” Charlie huffed. “Astrid said she will tell me, once she did i will tell you,”  Charlie said. M tilted his head actually laughing this time ruffling Charlie’s blonde hair as he stood up causing the three-year-old to huff as she tried to fix her hair. 

“Okay well you tell me as soon Astrid tells you,” M said seriously. Charlie nodded a soft i will coming from her lips. “Now i am about to start making the cupcakes, how many of your friends are coming over again?” he asked her, pretending not to know who was staying over tonight. 

“Well let’s see, there is Oli, Ella and Astrid but no Minjae because he is a baby and according to Astrid, he is no fun all he does is cry -” Charlie listed innocently. M frowned as he grabbed the baking trays, he didn’t know Astrid was having trouble adjusting to being a big sister, from what he could recall Astrid was always so excited about Minjae, in fact, he remembered her running excitedly to tell him all about her new baby brother. “And then there is Milo and me,” Charlie continued pointing to herself. “So i think you should make elf-even,” she said holding up ten fingers..

“Eleven,” M corrected her, “And i think i might just make twelve in case,” he said looking over at his daughter who nodded in agreement, happy with what he said. Her attention fully turned back to her colouring. M smiled softly giving her once last glance before beginning his search for ingredients.

“It looks like someone has been busy,” Jane said appearing out of nowhere with Milo and several shopping bags in tow. M was lucky he wasn’t covered in cake batter because he’d be lying if he said he didn’t jump at her presence. Taking a deep breath, he slid the cupcakes into the oven. Standing up and stretching his back out, glaring playfully at his wife who was grinning cheekily at him. She knew he wasn’t the biggest fan of that apparition thing that all the wizards in his life tended to do. Honestly how hard was it to just walk through the front door? 

“Don’t give me that look,” Jane pouted. “It’s almost one,” she as she walked over to the counter placing the shopping bags down. “And how are my babies?” she asked leaning down and kissing the top of Charlotte’s head. Milo who was following behind her scoffed muttering they had no babies in the house. 

“I’ve been colouring,” Charlie exclaimed holding up her picture. “Lookie,” she said. “Here is Milo,” she pointed to a blue scribble, “Maman,” she said pointing to a yellow scribble, “Daddy,” she said pointing to a green scribble “And then me,” she said pointing to a pink scribble. 

“It’s beautiful,” Jane said with a soft smile. “We have an artist in our mist love,” she said to M. “It’s so good i am just going to stick it on the fridge,” she said taking the paper off Charlie and sticking on the fridge right next to Milo’s picture of a puppy. 

“Our fridge is going to become the next Lourve soon everyone will want to come and see the great art off Milo and Charlie,” M proclaimed dramatically. “How much do you think we should charge them?” he asked looking at Jane who hummed. 

“Art like this is priceless M, how could you even think of charging people to see such culture?” she joked. 

“Mum, Dad, you are being weird again,” Milo said seriously. M and Jane both looked at him scandalized. He was saved from being questioned about how they were weird by the doorbell ringing.

“They are here,” Charlie yelled happily jumping off her chair and racing towards the front door, Milo followed after her excited yells could be heard. 

“So this is going to be our life for the next few hours,” Jane said patting M on the back. “Think we can survive?” 

“Course we can,” M said. “You and me together, it’s an unbeatable combination,” he said wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her in.

“Uncle Sungjae!!! Aunty Minah!!” They heard both of their children call out excitedly. 

Pressing a soft kiss to Jane’s forehead. “Think we should go save them?” he whispered. Jane hummed pretending to think about it before muttering a suppose so. M laughed grabbing her hand as they began to walk out to the hallway finding Sungjae, Minah and baby Minjae effectively rounded up by three toddlers. Milo and Charlie were busy telling them about their weeks and anything else that pops up in their little minds. Astrid stood to the side looking less than impressed. 

From beside Jane let out of high pitch squeal before racing forward. “Is that my little cutie?” she cooed as soon she got in front of Minah. M noticed Astrid scoffing rolling her eyes, M’s nose scrunched noting that he should have a conversation with his goddaughter later today. “You come say hi to Aunty Jane,” she said taking Minjae off a slightly pouting Minah. “Come in, come in,” Jane said as Minah, Sungjae and Astrid moved inside. 

“Come on Astrid, we have a jumping castle,” Charlie said excitedly, linking arms with her friend and dragging her towards the backyard. Milo following them after them singing out about how he can jump higher than both of them.

“A jumping castle?” Sungjae asked, eyebrow cocking up in amusement as he looked over at M. “It’s going a little far don’t you think?” he said teasingly. “And it looks like i won’t be going anywhere for a little since your wife has hijacked my son,” he said nodding to their living area where Minah and Jane were both cooing over Minjae.

“Yes and what of it?” M said with a shrug. “And should you be talking considering you created an entire toyline for your daughter’s first sleepover,” M pointed out as Sungjae’s nose scrunched up. “And yeah might as well get comfortable because it’s going to be a while,” M said watching as Jane and Minah made themselves comfortable in the living room. “Is that Astrid’s things?”  M said gesturing towards the Chanel backpack in Sungjae’s hand. 

“Oh yeah,” Sungjae said seemingly forgetting that he was even holding it. “She packed it herself she is very proud,” Sungjae said. It sounded like someone else was pretty proud of her to. “Also i am not meant to tell you but she might have snuck a few snacks in there but that is only in case Uncle M and Aunty Jane try to make her eat apples or any apple-based dish,” Sungjae chuckled. 

“You dibber dobber,” M joked. “And thanks for the warning, Jane doesn’t want them to have to much sugar before bedtime- “ M said. He could only imagine what it would be like to try and put 5 kids hyped up on sugar to bed. Nope he would not be subjecting himself to that. “Here,” he said reaching for the bag.”I’ll take that up to Charlie’s room, You can go stop my wife from inviting Minah and Minjae to stay the night,” M said watching the way his friends contorted in a look of disgust. 

“Astrid would probably wipe Aunty Jane completely if she did that,” Sungjae said as he handed M her backpack. M frowned about to ask Sungjae about how Astrid was really doing with becoming a big sister when there was a loud knocking on the door. 

“I better go -” M started to say, he knew Jane wouldn't really want to leave Minjae, anytime after she had seen the little boy she had come home pouting whining about M’s best friend was so mean and didn’t let her have any one on one time with Minjae (the few times M had been there it was more Minah who wouldn't let go of her son) but was interrupted by the over timer ringing out loudly. “Crap,” M said. 

“New plan you answer the door and i get the cakes out of the oven?” Sungjae suggested as M nodded muttering a quick thank you as he raced to the door only to almost crash into his wife. 

“What’s the rush?” Jane chuckled, eyebrow cocked up in amusement. “And nice bag,”  she teased pointing to Astrid’s backpack that was hanging off his shoulder.

“I just figured you’d want to spend some time with Minah and Minjae before the rest of the kids show up,” M muttered looking down sheepishly. 

“You are so cute,” Jane said wrapping her arms around M neck and pulling him down for a kiss. 

“Yes M is very cute, open the door,” A deep voice called out behind the door, ruining the moment entirely. Jane rolled her eyes muttering of course it’s them. M sighed giving her a sympathetic smile as he moved to open the door. 

“Hello Mr M and Mrs M,” Oliver greeted Jane and himself. “Oli made you these to say thank you for letting Oli stay tonight,” he said handing M a container of what looked like choc chip cookies. Jane moved coming to stand beside M, smiling down at the young boy before looking up and narrowing her eyes at his father’s. 

“Why thank you Oli,” M said with a small smile handing the cookies to Jane. “You didn’t have to back us cookies though we are happy to have you here,” M said the younger boy who beamed. “Milo, Charlie and Astrid are in the backyard playing on the jumping castle,” M said, smirking as the younger boy's face lit up and he began to vibrate on the spot. 

“Daddy? Appa?” Oli said, turning to his fathers looking for permission. “Can Oli go on the jumping castle too?” he asked before pouting. “Oli means can Oli go on the jumping castle too pleabes?” he asked sweetly. Jane leaned her head on M’s shoulder a soft aww escaping her lips. Daniel nodded as Oli grinned, “Where is the backyard?” Oli asked.

“How about i show you,” Jane offered, crouching down so she was on eye level with Oli who eyes darted back to his father’s unsure. Tyler nudged Oli forward a little giving him an encouraging smile. “You can tell me about how you made these yummy looking cookies,” she said holding her hand out. Oli nodded reluctantly, slipping his hand into Jane’s. 

Silence fell over the three men as the watched Jane and Oli walk down the hallway.  “If you both have time you are more than welcome to come in for a bit,” M offered Daniel and Tyler, “Minah, Sungjae and Minjae are here though -” he said trying not to laugh at the way Daniel’s face soured. 

“Oh we are bu-” Daniel started to say but was cut off by his husband 

“I suppose we can stay until Ella and Tara show up,” he said as Daniel glared at him. “Plus we need to explain some base rules when it comes to Oliver,”he said stepping into the house. M nodded, so far Oli had only gone to sleepovers at Mark and Tara’s so this was a big step. He was proud, he knew he shouldn't be but it was nice that Tyler and Daniel trusted Jane and himself to look after their son. 

“We got your list,” M said, a few days that had got an email with a very detailed list of rules when it comes to Oli. “But that is fine,” he said. He knew how nervous he was the first time Milo stayed over at a friends house. “Is that Oli’s bag?” he asked gesturing to a rather large Gucci backpack with an adorable dragon key chain. “I was just going to take the kids bags up to their rooms so if you want i can take it off you,” he said to Tyler who raised an eyebrow before grinning and handing it to M.

M’s eyes widened as he felt the weight of the backpack, seriously did those two pack their entire house in this bag. He looked over to see Tyler smirking at him as he stepped into the house. 

“We weren’t sure what you had here so we covered all bases,” Daniel explained as he followed his husband into M’s home. M took a deep breathe as lugged the bag in, at least he was getting his arm workout in for the day. “Minah is in the living room and the last time i saw Sungjae he was in the kitchen,” M told the pair. “I’ll be right back,” he said to them as he moved towards the stairs. “Make yourself at home,” he said.

He didn’t stay too listen but the two started bickering among themselves, about what M didn’t know and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to know. 

---

When M came downstairs he didn’t expect to find Astrid sitting at the counter, head in hands, eyes glued to the freshly baked cupcakes. “You aren’t planning on eating them all?” he asked as Astrid jumped up swirling around to glare at M. 

“No,” Astrid huffed. “And you shouldn’t sneak up on people Uncle M,” she said, shaking her head disappointedly. . 

“You’re right,” M agreed, coming to sit on the stool next to her. “So,” he said, nudging her lightly. “What are we doing?” he asked, stretching his arms out in front of him.  Astrid let out a huff in annoyance. 

“Okay you don’t want to talk about it,” M said softly. “Have you seen Oli yet?” he asked, changing the subject. “His dad’s dropped him off just before,” he said. 

“I did,” Astrid nods,”We played for a little bit but -” she sighed. “Uncle M, i think i am having a midwife christmas,” Astrid said shaking her head. M bit the inside of his cheek to stop him laughing, it was clear that his goddaughter was going through something but there was something inherently hilarious about a three-year-old claiming they were having a mid-life crisis. 

“Midlife crisis sweetie,” M corrected. “And why do you feel like that? Has something happened?” he asked, Astrid frowned sucking in a deep breath. M eyed her carefully reaching over to rub soothing circles on her back. “It’s okay,” he said softly.

“Minjae happened,” Astrid huffed. “I thought having a little brother would be fun,” she pouted. “But he never plays with me, all he does is cry and eat and he is all smelly,” she ranted. “Maybe if he was a little sister it would be better -” she says. “Charlie is Milo’s little sister and she is awesome,”  she pouted.

“Wanna know a secret?” M said, grinning as Astrid nodded enthusiastically. Astrid was a great lover of secrets but a terrible keeper of secrets. “Don’t tell anyone but everyone used to a smelly baby who eats and cries all the time,” M whispered. Astrid’s face morphed into an all too familiar frown. “Even you,” M said.

“No,” Astrid huffed. “I was not,” she said strictly.

“Yes you were i even have proof,” M said as Astrid brows furrowed and eyes narrowed as she glared at me. “Once upon a time, a long long time ago, about three - almost four years, a wise king named M and his beautiful queen Jane were at home in their castle playing with a baby prince Milo waiting for princess Charlotte to arrive when there was a loud knock at the door,”  he said dramatically. “It was lord Sungjae and his wife with their new baby daughter lady Astrid,” he said.

“No i should be the princess, why are you the king my daddy should be the king,” Astrid ranted.

“My house, My story - I’m king, “ M said childishly sticking his tongue out at Astrid. “Anyway lady Astrid was adorable, not as adorable as Prince Milo of course,” he said making Astrid poke him. “But very very cute,” he added. “But no matter how cute she was, she was still a baby so she hadn’t learned to do all the cool stuff,” he said sounding disappointed.  “But as time went on Lady Astrid grew into the amazing little lady sitting next to me,” he said.

“Uncle M , don’t take this wrong but that was a terrible story,” Astrid said rolling her eyes. 

“How else could i take that?” M asked with a laugh. “The point is look at how great you turned out with no helping now think about it if you help Minjae out when he grows up how cool he will be,” he said. 

Astrid turned, fingers tapping against the counter as she hummed. “So you are saying i should train Minjae?” Astrid said. M opened his mouth to tell her that wasn’t what he meant. “I suppose i can do that, he is cute sometimes -” she said more to herself. “And if i have Minjae on my side i will be unbeatable. He can handle Mummy while I deal with Daddy,” she said. 

M tilted his head this conversation didn’t go exactly the way he had planned but you know what he was going to count this as a win. “Sure as long as you don’t use your power against your favourite uncle,” he said pointing to himself. 

“Well my favourite Uncle would let me have a cupcake now,” Astrid said spinning back around. “Uncle Woo would and Uncle Suho would bring me a whole bakery,” she said in a sing-song voice.

“That’s because your Uncle doesn’t know how to cook,” M said with an eye roll. “Plus i am the king of this house so i declare that i am your favourite uncle,” he said huffing proudly ignoring Astrid’s that isn’t how it works Uncle M. “Now where does Lady Astrid want to go? Back to Prince Milo and Princess Charlie’s jumping castle?” M asked standing up and holding his hand out. 

“Hmm i will but first i am going to say bye to Minjae and get Mummy and Daddy out of here before the embarrass me in front of Oli and his dad’s.” Astrid said with all the nuisance a three year old could muster. M chuckled, Sungjae and Minah were going to have fun with her when she grows up. 

Milo : Ultimate Wing Men

M

“You don’t mind me stealing mummy for one night do you,” M said as he tickled his baby boys little feet, smiling softly as Milo giggled happily reaching out trying to grab his own feet or M’s finger which everyone his hand happened to land on.  “It’s just its Valentine’s day,” he said to the boy, talking like to his son like this 5 month year old knew what Valentine’s day was. Milo looked up at him making various noises which M liked to believe was his way of agreeing and saying that it was fine for me him to take Jane out for a date. “Course you don’t because your the best little guy on the planet,” he said with grin bopping Milo’s nose. 

“Right now that i have your permission i just need to plan a date that is worthy off leaving you with my parents,” he said more to himself than to Milo who was now bumming his way across the couch, eyes focused on the remote. M moved it out of reach, Milo was getting his first tooth and he was chewing everything. M frowned as he thought over what he could do, it was admittedly last minute, mostly so he didn’t spoil the surprise. He wanted one night where they could just have fun, not that raising their son was not fun, he just wanted to do special for Jane. He couldn’t take her on a trip overseas right now, it was too late and Jane had been rather adamant about not going overseas without Milo, unless it was absolutely necessary (it was never necessary in Jane’s opinion).  Just going out for dinner seemed a little boring and all the good restaurants would already be booked out. He could ask Minah but if he knew her as well as he thinks he does at this point all her points while amazing would be a little hard for M to do. Sungjae would be no help, the man could barely plan his own valentine’s days. He was even desperate enough to consider asking Tyler or Daniel for help but somehow whenever he involved those two things went awry. Tara and/or Mark would probably give good and helpful advice but he felt odd asking them for romantic advice, same with Emily though in her case it would be a little cruel considering her boyfriend was away.  Nope, it was just him and Milo against the world. 

“Okay so i might be able to take her to a vineyard, “ M ponder picking up Milo who was getting dangerously close to the edge of the couch. “But is it would probably remind her much she misses France because we can’t make good wine,” M huffed bouncing Milo on his knee, the little boy babbling and giggling almost mockingly at M. He narrowed his eyes at his son playful, “One day you are going to have a wife.. Or husband… whatever you decide and you are going to have to go through this stress and unlike someone, i will actually help,” he said lifting Milo up as the baby squealed in excitement his legs kicking out happily.  “Though now that i think about it might be better to get romance advice from your mother,” M said tilting his head to the side, grinning when Milo hand landed his cheek. “Yeah yeah i know,” he laughed. “How about we bath and brainstorm because no offence little man i think you have got a little smelly,” he said wrinkling his nose which only caused Milo to babble on even more. 

--

“So what do you think of a picnic?” M asked Milo as the baby gummed at his spoon. “No you are right the weather is meant to be awful that day,” M frowned, he supposed magic could solve that issue but to do that he would have to ask someone else for help or ask Jane which would defeat the purpose. 

“Do you think i should get her gift to make up for lame date? What does mummy want you can tell me,” he said to Milo who was looking up at him expectantly, it was clear Milo couldn’t care less about M’s woes and just wanted more food. “Fine, maybe i should just cook dinner for her they say the way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach,” he muttered as he scooped another spoonful of baby food for Milo. 

“I wouldn’t say no to some of your cooking though not sure why you need to win my heart when you already have it?” A female voice said causing M to jump and to knock the spoon leaving one very disappointed baby in his its wake. 

“I thought we discussed you doing that whole pop thing,” M pouted at his wife. She in return plastered a deceptively innocent smile on her face, walking over to where he and Milo sat. 

“Hello, my beautiful baby” Jane asked pulling Milo out of his highchair. “When is daddy going to learn that its called apparition and not that the whole pop thing, i think he has been hanging out with Uncle Sungjae to much don’t you?” she asked Milo turning to M, “Look at that face babe, he agrees,” she said cooing at Milo before putting him back in the highchair. 

“Did my boys have fun today?” She asked plopping herself on M’s lap without warning. M wrapped an arm around her waist making sure she didn’t slip as he rested his head against her shoulder. 

“Of course we did,” M said once again attempting to feed Milo who was now incredibly focused on getting out of his highchair and to Jane. “Milo and Daddy time is always fun isn’t it?” he asked Milo who was making grabby hands at Jane signalling he wanted out and he wanted out now. 

“I bet it was,” Jane said unwrapping M’s arm and sliding off once again pulling Milo out of his highchair. “Hanging out with daddy is always fun,” she said with a grin. “One of my favourite things to do,” she said winking at M. “Another thing i like is when daddy tells mummy what he was talking about when he thought i wasn’t home,” she said eyes narrowing at M. 

“I was going to make you dinner because i know how stressful work has been lately?” M spoke, frowning at unsure he sounded. Damn his lack of lying skills. Why did he have to be born with the worst poker face, physically and metaphorically. in the world. 

“Do we believe him Milo?” Jane asked as their son let out a giggle before nuzzling into her shoulder. “I think he said no love,” Jane laughed. M frowned whining, why was his son betraying him like this, he thought they were in this together.  

“It’s a surprise?” M said again unsure. “For Valentine’s day,” he added, his said looking down, his cheeks heating up in embarrassment. “But i ruined it, I was trying to do something special for you,” he muttered. “I know we don’t get to do much these days as a couple and i don’t know,” he finished lamely. “And its our first Valentine’s day since Milo was born and i feel like i should make it extra special,” he added.

“You are so cute,” Jane grinned. “But you don’t need to do anything special,” she said. M rolled his eyes that is what everyone says when they want something special. “I mean it M, i will be happy to just stay at home with you and Milo assuming you can’t find a baby sitter,” she said. 

“But i wanted to -”

“Shhh,” Jane said placing a finger on his lips. “Our valentine’s day will be special, trust me,” she said with a wink. “And i think this little man is all worn out from his boys day so i am going to put him down, you can cook me that dinner you were talking about,” she said with a grin kissing his cheek before making her way upstairs to Milo’s room.
