Beth and Simon sat on Beths bed, holding hands. It'd been a few months since they started dating, keeping it on the downlow from their friends with all the shit coming their way as of recently.
"You think it's time to tell them? Y'know, it's been two months, things have seemed to calm down.." Simon mumbled, rubbing Beths knuckles with his thumb.
"If you're alright with it.." Beth mumbled back, leaning into Simon.
"C'mon my love." He sighed, kissing their forehead as he stood up.
Beth whined as Simon pulled her off of the bed, having had still been sore from fighting off a demon earlier in the day.
"I know it hurts, little one. But you'll heal soon enough, perks of being a vampire, correct?" He said, Beth nodded, leaning into him.
The first person they were thinking of telling was Joseph, whom had already been suspicious of the two but they both kept shutting him down.
"Hello my friends, how are you feeling?" Joseph asked as they approached him.
"We're fine, Jos. We actually have something to tell yo-"
"It's one of these things, one of you is dying somehow, you're pregnant, bex got pregnant by magic, or, the obvious one, you're dating."
"What-"
the two stood there staring at their grinning friend, at least he got one thing right..
"How'd you-"
"You two aren't subtle. I'm pretty sure we've all seen the slight changes in your relationship.."
The red head stared at his two friends, seemingly closer than before. He knew something was up with the way they've been dealing with things, they would sneak off together, they would offer to ride with each other instead of Beth going with Etie.
Something had changed, and it seemed to be for the better. Joseph saw how Simon looked at her, it was like she hung the stars in the sky, like she was the sun to his dark, dark sky.
He knew, and he was proud of Simon for finally being vulnerable
Beth and Simon looked at Joseph as he hummed,
"I'm very happy and proud of you two. I love you both dearly, and Beth if you ever hurt him-"
Simon grabbed Joseph's hand, and Beth smiled
"I'd never dream of it."
Joseph then went to go find Bex to tell him the news as Beth and Simon went to find their next friend, Helen.
She was going to be ecstatic.
The two made their way to the living room, seeing Helen sprawled out on one of the chairs with her phone.
"How can I be of service to the two of you?" She asked.
"....We have something to tell you.." Beth said.
Helen sat up and looked at her.
"What is it? You can always tell me anything you know."
Beth looked at Simon and he nodded,
"We're together, we have been for a about two months now. And we just haven't told anyone yet because we were trying to figure it all out being saying anything."
Helen was silent as she looked between one of her best friends and her now boyfriend.
Her eyes watched as Beth and Simon danced around the backyard as Joseph and Bex sang to karaoke. She was weary of this, Simon was proven to have a temper at times and as everyone knew, he could blow up at any given moment.
Yes, they're close with Simon. Yes, they care about Simon.
But, if he ever did anything to harm her in any way, shape, or form, it would Helen, Cameron, and Etie he would have to deal with.
"That's amazing! I'm so proud n happy for the two of you!" She smiled.
"Thank you, Helen. We've knew you'd react the most positive." Beth smiled at his friend.
"Ah, yes. But, you-" she said, pointing at Simon.
"Yes?"
"You do anything to cause her harm, you're gonna have me, Cameron, and Etie to deal with. Understand?"
Simon nodded,
"Loud n clear."
She gave him a smile as she pulled the two into a hug.
Beth and Simon walked off to tell their next friend as Helen went on to text Etie about the situation.
They found Carter in Cameron's room with Cam, chilling on his bed.
"Oh hey! When did you two get in here?" Carter smiled, sitting up some.
"Just now, don't worry."
"What's up?" Cameron asked.
"We have a bit of information to tell you."
"Which is?"
"That we're dating."
Carters face lit up,
"I knew it! I fucking called it! For how long?"
"Two months now, I believe." Simon answered.
"I knew this would happen eventually, to be completely honest I thought it would have happened sooner.." Cam said.
Cameron watched as his friend stared at the dark haired boy in all his glory, covered in blood and sweat. Even then she still thought he was beautiful.
He watched as she smiled as he sang to her, he watched as she saw him breakdown and fix himself back up again. He calmed her down after Simon said the words that broke her heart, he watched as they found their way back to each other after she and their friend had been taken.
He watched them fall in love.
"Yeah, pretty sure everyone thought that." Carter chuckled, patting Cameron the back
Beth smiled back to her but Simon was a bit confused,
"What do you mean?"
"What our dear Carter was saying is-" they heard Etie start from behind them
"-we've known from the very start." Bex finished.
Beth and Simon stood there, a bit shocked. They thought they had done pretty well keeping their relationship on the low.
"You two aren't subtle with your feelings." Gray said.
"Now as a celebration, who's hungry."

“I never thought in a million years I’d find a home here. It’s everything I could have dreamed of: dancing, singing, good times, and great friends. We’re a family.”
Typical trope small town good girl Y/N finds herself in need of change. When an old friend offers a mysterious job in the big city, she can’t turn it down. Only, it’s not what she expected at all and Y/N must pull herself out of her comfort zone, let loose, and enjoy life a little! She won’t have to do it alone, though. If there’s one thing she’s good at, it’s charming others. So lace up your corset and slip on your stilettos, it’s show time!

Co-Owners!Seokjin & Namjoon
“Well, simply put, Joon wanted a bar and I wanted the club, so we put a bar in the club and called it a day.”
Best friends Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin have always done everything together. So, co-owning a business seemed like a good next step. While it’s not the relaxed atmosphere Joon was hoping for, he can’t deny his growing love for the place, meanwhile, Jin thrives in the eccentricity of the show. Quickly becoming the most popular Burlesque bar in the city, not to mention the most attractive and entertaining owners? Who can resist?

Bartenders!Jungkook & Taehyung
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, sweet talk us all you want, but you know just as well as I do that these people are here to see the girls- to see you. We’re just the help, but it’s fine, don’t get me wrong. Pouring drinks, free shows, and getting paid? Living the life!”
Tae and Kook live for the wild night life. Quickly becoming thick as theives when Jungkook’s old pal Namjoon hired them both for the club, they easily fell into place in the bustling atmosphere. When Tae’s childhood friend is in desperate need of a new perspective, he gets her the job of a lifetime. Learning to lean on and support each other, these 8 friends are a force to be reckoned with. This is the family both Kook and Tae were looking for. Bottoms up!

Pianist!Yoongi
“This isn’t what I pictured when I’d play in front of big crowds, but, and don’t repeat this to anyone, it’s kind of growing on me. I like the energy, the crowds and the people, and I like being here with you- uh, all of you.”
When aspiring pianist Yoongi is unsure of his next step, he lands an opportune gig at Jin & Joon’s club. Even though it’s really not his scene, at least he gets to play for plenty of people (and the tips aren’t bad either.) The longer he’s been there, the more comfortable he is and the more friends he makes. Maybe this is his scene after all, especially when an interesting new girl appears out of nowhere.

CostumeDesigner!Jimin
“I swear to God there are not enough sequins to cover up that hot mess, but don’t worry, I made a back up for you, so you can just go on for her. Now get changed before I take your place!”
Lively and spirited, Jimin has always had an eye for creating the most beautiful works of art in clothing since, well, forever. When he found out his cousin Jin had a Burlesque bar, he pretty much gave himself the costume job. He can make friends with anyone and adds some sarcastic and dramatic flare behind the scenes. He’s also pretty great at giving advice. But don’t let his job fool you, he can work the stage just as well as any other dancer. It’s hard not to love him!

Are there any fics where Henry DOESN'T tell Eleven about the Soteria, where Eleven escapes leaving Henry behind to deal with the repercussions, where she eventually goes back to rescue him with the help of the rest of the cast?

Camp Hamato
🌕 ~ Nocturnal Night [Pt.1]
During the first few years of Camp Hamato, there were some adjustments that needed to be made…a lot of them, and one was something that Camp Usagi also had in common with; nocturnal campers.
Owls, werewolves, bug mutants, sea creatures galore, almost always making noises in the night- and it wasn’t really easy to bear with, along with campers who needed better sleep, but with the constant howling, hooting, and crickets (along with sneaking out after lights out/curfew) , it was best to handle these effectively… by randomly choosing the most so-called “nocturnal” cabin leader to keep them entertained during the night: Leo.
“Me?” Leo said in disbelief to four exhausted Cabin Leaders with tired eyes, exhausted and tired. “Why me?” Leo asked confusedly, before they all answered one by one. “The howling keeps up my mischiefs, and they need enough energy to learn about the art of ninja!” Casey explained with an exclaim. “My rackets keep on getting woken up by the hooting.” Raph complained lowly, “The crickets have been making my graces think we have a bug infestation!” April whined, meanwhile, Mikey didn’t have much to complain, as he usually uses the sounds the nocturnal campers make as inspirations for his campers’ art projects- say illustrations or pieces of art- so he just shrugged. “…What about the ponderers?” Leo mentioned, before all the other cabin leaders look worriedly…they never really thought about the Purple Ponderers since that happened, so the counselors of that cabin watched them while their cabin leader was absent, thankfully, said counselors thought up of clever ways to entertain their campers while doing so. “You know how they are, they probably are unfazed by the noises.” April assumed, before Casey agreed with a nod. “…So you all have decided that I should deal with them?” Leo summarized, before the other cabin leaders collectively say yes, appointing Leo as the Nocturnal Camper Supervisor, or NCS.
It was the first night with them, and Leo was quite nervous about it, as he had to keep them quiet and entertained, so he thought up of his first idea: gathering them all and having a Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu marathon, and it worked well, and somehow made some of the campers fall asleep (which was odd), but it worked!
The second night..not so easy. They all ran around and played, being loud as they disrupted the night, as Leo kept on trying to quiet them down with puzzles and video games, and while it worked on some, not all of them settled. Leo was near exhausted that morning as some of the campers who weren’t nocturnal complained of noises, and the cabin leaders were a bit upset about it.
Now, it was a third night, and Leo was pure nervous as the campers joined the group for Leo to supervise as it was lights out for the campers, and for this night, he just gathered them all and gave them electronics before worriedly sipping his first cup of coffee for the night, watching as the campers played games and watched videos, even watching and talking with other campers about the games or videos they were playing, and it was peaceful, giving Leo a glimmer of hope, all before he saw two campers started to fight over a tablet; Flame, a Phoenix yōkai with an awful tendency of accidentally setting things on fire- and Mirror, a shapeshifting mutant who can mirror people and shapeshift, fighting over a tablet: a recipe for disaster. Now what could Leo do.
Pride Month at Camp Hamato
(this was not beta read so sorry for any misspelling and odd grammar!)
As Pride Month came around, colors shined brighter than ever; counselors doing karaoke with Chappell Roan and Lady Gaga songs, making flag-themed outfits and accessories (especially pins), dance parties, glow nights, and even more fashion shows, and today was the biggest day during Pride Month in Camp Hamato.
6 . 30 . 24
The waking call blared, as the usual trumpets and such called to wake the campers as Mikey made breakfast, casually mixing the pancake batters (including the gluten-free, sugar-free, and such), while Raph led the campers to the mess hall (or food hall, for campers), and Leo set out the plethoras of teas in alphabetical order, as April and Casey set the color-coded plates. “Mikey!” Leo called out, waving towards Mikey as he finishes the last batch of pancakes, looking up towards the Blue Cabin Leader, “Morning Leo!” He greeted, approaching him as he stretched his arms, nearly tired from flipping pancakes and stirring many batches of pancake variations. “Just finished putting out the teas, did you finish the pancakes?” Leo asked, leaning on a nearby table as Mikey sat down and sighed, “Yep, and my arms are quite sore from them..” he admits with a chuckle, still stretching before hearing the chatter of their campers started to flow into the Mess Hall just when April and Casey finish up putting down plates.
“Here they come,” Leo playfully warns as Mikey looked over, seeing the many, many campers, only being told apart by their cabin-colored attire and pajamas, with the counselors dragging themselves in from their exhaustion from last night’s glow party, hungover from the soda they drank the night before- with one of them still having a glow necklace and a few glow bracelets on them as they all sat in their assigned table set for them with many cups of water and a few jugs of water on the table for refills. Then, the sound of a spatula hitting a pan, ringing throughout the mess hall.
“Campers! …and Counselors,” Mikey calls, as the campers’ chatter quieted down, their eyes shifted to the orange cabin leader, “How was the glow night last night?” Mikey asked, the campers replying with sounds of agreement and a few ‘greats’, before Mikey slyly looked over at the counselors at their table, now with a few of them refilling their cups of water- while one of them was guzzling down a jug. “Counselors..how was it?” Mikey asked with a smile, the counselors replying with thumbs up and a few other positive replies. Then, his sight lowered onto the chugging counselor, before looking back at the rest of the campers. “Today is a very special day in June, does anyone know what that day is?” Mikey asks with a brighter smile, as some of the campers started to chatter guesses, some saying an anniversary to a party, one guesses a fashion tournament, a few guess a talent show.
“Today is a special day, because today is Rainbow Night!” Mikey reveals, as the whole mess hall roared in campers cheering and squealing as the counselors gave a few weak smiles as one tiredly groaned, while the other counselors joined the cheering, before one of the new counselors look over, confused. “What’s Rainbow Night?” One counselor asked, before Amora- one of the Blue Beauty counselors explained, “Basically a big night in June during pride month where we party all night- and when new campers and counselors like you guys arrive and let them get familiar, basically a night where newbies come and we party all night while getting to know them.” It took a moment before the curious counselor before replying, “So basically a welcoming party during Pride Month?” “Yep, especially since it’s the summer we’ll have an influx of campers,” Amora confirmed, before Mikey announced something else.
“Along with that- we have a good bunch of campers and counselors coming in tonight!” Mikey informs, before the counselors shot up, before collectively sighing and relief, confusing the curious counselor more, “Why are you guys excited about newbies?” “Because for the past year or two- we were quite low on counselors while the amount of campers grew over the last year, and after a bit of..a problem, we’ve been desperate for new counselors to handle the campers,” Amora explained again, before giving an ‘oh’ in realization as the other counselors agreed with Amora’s answer, before looking back at Mikey as he finished up the announcements, before breakfast began, as campers went to get their food, the counselors stayed seated at talked amongst themselves. “So…newbies, what’re your names?” Asked Mirage- a Maroon Mischief counselor, before one- a rookie Purple Ponderer Counselor- first answered, “NightShade.” Then, a rookie Red Racket answered, “Emeris.” A Blue Beauty answered, “Nix.” A Green Grace answered, “Akane.” An Orange Originator murmured, “Celeste.” A Blue Beauty spoke up, “Saki.” Finally, A Maroon Mischief was chosen to say their name, nervously looking at everyone else, before shyly replying, “Reverie..” “That’s a nice name,” Akane commented kindly, “Thanks.” Reverie said, her shyness dissipating. “Those a great names!” Mirage complimented, before two of her sentient tails Alpine and Lavender started to sniff at Khaos (A purple ponderer) who was sitting next to him, before Alpine started to bite on the table before Mirage pulled them away- but thankfully, breakfast went well, leaving the counselors and campers excited for Rainbow Night.
An hour or two later, the blue beauty cabin was all crowded up, sewing machines chattering, threads being pulled, needles piercing fabrics, markers tracing onto fabrics…and blue campers scheming. Many campers chatters amongst themselves, as Leo ringleader’d the whole scheme that may make themselves the most glamorous and greatest-looking cabin in Camp Hamato during Rainbow Night. “Glamour Division! Take on outfit planning and appearance critique. Hot Soup Division, make sure no one else can see our plans. Hermano Division! Make sure we have EVERYONE gets a showstopping, jawdropping outfit. Comic Division! Make sure we have heaps and heaps of fabric enough to make every one of us has an outfit! Twin Katana Division- Make sure we have accessories to go with every. Freaking. Outfit.” Leo commanded, pointing at each division of the cabin, before looking at the counselors, “Counselors, keep everything working while you prepare for the newbies, and I’m ordering pizza because we’re having in-cabin lunch!” He announced, as the campers cheered at the words ‘In-cabin lunch’- which was basically when campers have lunch in their cabin, like when a class has lunch in their classroom- but in a camp. Hearing their simple task, the Blue Beauty counselors were relieved, before the whole cabin started to work their magic.
In the Twin Katana Division ; Foxglove, Azalea, Court, Rumor, Dove, Falcon, Stitch, Knot, Clover, and Lucky were given the task of accessories, which were either going to be two things; hard or easy- but since they were one of the most fashionable cabins, it may aswell be easy. “Who should we do first?” Asked Court, “I say Leo- so we could get the most important people out,” Rumor suggested, as everyone else agreed as Dove was chosen to retrieve the cabin leader, soon returning with him. “So, what am I needed for?” Leo asked, before Stitch and Knot pull him into they could observe and get measures from him, wrapping tape measures around him many times before bringing in the Glamour Division Who helped assess Leo and pick out different outfit options- from suits to dresses to even hybrids of the two while the Twin Katana Division planned with accessories, soon agreeing on a headpiece consisting of pearls and blue crystals and gems to replace his bandanna.
Meanwhile, in the Purple Ponderer cabin, it was quiet- no planning, no scheming, just the campers chattering and talking as they thought about what they would wear at Rainbow Night while preparing the playlist and making sure all the lights and speakers were working. Meanwhile the counselors Khaos, Digit, Zero, Virus, Error, Flash, Rhythm, DJ, and Cypher were making sure everything went well while also preparing for the newcomers- especially new counselors, since they desperately needed some extra hands ever since. Along with that, they were also planning their outfits- but in general..everything was a bit more monochrome and dulled down than usual ever since early January, also gaining an aversion to Christmas trees. “So..” Rhythm started, “What’re you all wearing tonight?” They asked, eyeing the other counselors pas they set up the bedrooms, placing pillows and welcome notes on the awaiting, empty beds. “Probably..something a bit fancy,” Digit answered, thinking about what to wear. “Same,” Flash agreed, before Rhythm looked at Zero, who was bringing in sheets, while Flash continued and brought fresh sheets (in a flash, hence his name.) “Khaos!” Rhythm called, as Khaos was busy writing and double checking the list of essentials for the beds and the cubbies and dressers next to the beds. “What’s up?” He said, looking up from the check-board, “What’re you wearing?” Rhythm asked again, “Maybe..a suit?” Khaos thought out loud, shrugging, hence proving to Rhythm that the counselors didn’t really know what to wear. “Really? It’s the one of the biggest nights in summer- and you all don’t know what to wear?” Rhythm said, disappointed at the counselor’s unsure responses, before Error spoke up, “Well, Rhythm, it’s not really not a ‘big night’ because..you know, and we can’t do it properly without you know, and we’re the only cabin who can’t do that-“ “But we can!” Virus objects, “You know has high-end technology and even has a digital backup of himself just in case he has to do two things at once or if something happens!” xey mentioned, as the whole room went quiet at the mention, “WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY THAT MONTHS AGO?!” Khaos exclaimed, nearly dropping the clipboard, “Everyone was all droopy and melancholy months ago- and I didn’t want to make things worse,” Virus replied, as the other counselors agreed with Virus’ words, as it was really dull and sad back then, but it has gotten better since. “Well what’re we waitin’ for? We have a Cabin Leader for newcomers to meet, let’s boot it up!” Rhythm encourages, before Khaos stopped them, “Hold it, guys- the campers might get shocked from this- along with the surprise that we had a spare of their Cabin Leader who’ve they waited to return for months, so we either surprise them or keep it to ourselves,” he warned, before the other counselors looked at him with confusion. “Khaos- you’ve been waiting for him for a long time also! They deserve to see him again while we wait for the real one to come back!” Virus points out, as everyone else agreed, before Khaos finally agreed, “Okay- but only if it’s a surprise.”
Meanwhile, the Red Rackets and the Orange Originators were in the mess hall’s kitchen cooking, baking, and collecting recipes- as Raph saw it as an opportunity to show a coping mechanism to her cabin; baking. Many Red Rackets were tasked with making different treats and snacks, putting all their effort (and emotion) into their baking, as Raph helped them use the right measurements and the right ingredients…While the Orange Originators were tasked with cooking the meals and appetizers- from mozzerella sticks to hushpuppies. “We got the first batch of Mozzarella sticks done!” Mikey called, taking the batch and putting it to the benches, where many other foods were laid out on the tables, as two counselors from each cabin wrote down the quantity of the food, with the new counselors Celeste and Emeris being assigned to the task, reason being if one or the lists was lost- there would be another list made by the other counselor. But, a few counselors were back at the Orange Originators’ Cabin setting up the awaiting beds for the newcomers, placing Cabin-made welcome notes and little gifts like small clay sculptures and origami. It was a bit quiet as they didn’t have much to talk about, but they soon finished.
All the way in the forest, Casey was slowly walking through carefully, treading each step carefully as she brought snacks, flags, and little trinkets in a paper box with a ribbon on it. She didn’t have to worry about the preparations, as April said she would cover as she excused herself to “go to the bathroom”, As she arrived to an open area with a put-out bonfire, she placed the box down as she gave an animal call. It as silent at first, before another call called back, before more calls echoed as trees started to rustle and bristle before she was surrounded by many masked individuals, all with different masks- with no two being the same. As she became surrounded, she called out, “I bring you treats! As tonight is Rainbow Night, and we are expecting to have newcomers!” She announced, as the masked individuals let out different animal calls as their way to cheer and celebrate the announcement.
Soon enough it was 7:00pm, and it was almost time for Rainbow Night, and everyone was slowly spilling out of their cabins..but not the Blue Beauties, and everybody realized that they had something planned while the Orange Originators were setting out the snacks. As everyone was starting to get ready, and Virus and Zero set up the DJ-ing equipment, all the lights went out, before they pointed towards the Blue Beauty cabin, pointing at the door as a voice echoed through the camp, “Camp Hamato! Are you ready for the greatest, flashiest, jaw dropping, inspirational and inspiring fashion frenzy in the history of Rainbow Night?”
It was already obvious that this was planned, but the Cabin Leaders were immediately concerned at the lights, especially when it came to the Blue Beauties and Leo in particular, but they cheered on because they always had some good fashion ideas. Soon enough, the door flung open as the campers started coming out, with all different outfits and accessories adorned. After that, the counselors came out, with some shyly dragging out others (with Amora pulling Hibiscus out the cabin with Deimos’ help, it was successful), and after the counselors and campers came, they waited for Leo. It was a while, and it was getting concerning- along with that, they were missing one camper and one counselor- and that exact detail struck a chord within the Cabin Leaders. “Where’s Leo?” Raph asked, as he went over to the blue counselors to ask them as Mikey beat her to it, asking the counselors as Raph approached them, “Have you seen-“ “nope, none of the counselors have, are you guys sure you haven’t seen him?” Mikey asked, as Hibiscus, Amora, Deimos, Ocean, Clementine , and another few counselors said no, “We only saw him before the lights went out,” Clementine detailed, “Before the lights went out?” Raph repeated, as everyone else confirmed it. “And you didn’t see him after that?” Mikey asked, and once again- they said no, and that when it clicked.
“Leo, come on- you’ll be fine, everyone’ll love your outfit!” Said Disk, tugging Leo’s arm as they pulled backward, wary about coming out, “No! No no no no no” Leo declined, fear pulling him back. “Leo, you’ve been planning this out all day- and you don’t want to show off your outfit?” insisted Memory, who also tried to make Leo come outside, “I just don’t feel well, maybe something from the lunch!” Leo sputtered, trying to make up excuses before Memory and Disk stopped their attempts, befpre staring at Leo in pure confusion, “you don’t feel well from lunch?” Memory repeated, crossing her arms as she raised a suspicious brow, “We had in-cabin lunch- and it was your favorite kind of pizza that you always ate,” She recalls, as Leo soon froze up, caught in his quick lie. “You aren’t sick!” Disk called out, also crossing their arms, looking at Leo for an explanation, before their suspicion looks turned to concern. “Leo, are you still scared of..” “Yeah.”
So that’s why.
“We’ll make sure nothing else happens, deal?” Disk offered, before taking a few steps near the blue cabin leader, offering their hand before Leo took their hand as they pulled him up, “Everyone’ll love your outfit,” Disk repeats in an assuring tone as Memory gave an agreeing nod.
As everyone kept on worrying about Leo’s absence, the Cabin Leaders started to panic and fret about if Leo was in trouble before the lights shone back on the Blue Beauty Cabin again..somehow- only to see Disk and Memory come out in their outfits, before Leo came out in his custom-made outfit, with slit sleeves and a gorgeous headpiece crafted by the Glamour division as everyone started to ooh and ahh at Leo’s outfit as he slightly squinted from the lights- but it was kind of worth it. Before Leo could look around or say anything, Mikey ran over and snagged him in a tight, worrying hug. “Leo! We were worried sick!” Mikey cried while he squeezed the life out of Leo, “Mike- you’re squeezin’ me-“ Leo squeaked out, before Mikey let him go, “I was just getting ready- preparing for me entrance!” Leo assured as Raph gave a sigh of relief before Casey and April came to check up on them, “Hey guys!” April waved as Casey came over with her, their hands interlocked as they approached while the campers spread out to socialize. “Hey April, hey casey,” Leo greeted before looking at everyone else like he was about to say something else, before realizing an absence that made his smile falter before trying to cheer himself up, knowing that the absence would want everyone to be happy even while he was gone. “Let’s get this welcome party started!” Leo cheered.
The party was already going well as the camp was adorned with many flags to represent everyone attending the camp, along with everyone wearing pins with their gender and pronouns- with Raph wearing a She/Her pin and Mikey wearing an Any Pronouns pin, and for lovers- the partners would wear pins or accessories with matching details or patterns, with April and Casey wearing chokers with Casey’s being green with sparkly flame patterns while April’s was maroon with spike patterns. Soon enough, the newcomers started to flood in, with a new, diverse bunch of counselors and campers in, from sirens to shapeshifters, and they were already getting to know the others, with Hibiscus meeting a siren like him named Anemone, and Amora meeting a lion like her named Storm, but the best part..was that even turtles and yokai were coming in! Especially a yokai named Sunita who caught Casey and April’s eye and hit it off, knowing her from the Run of the Mill Pizzeria where they get the pizza for lunch. As it hit midnight and after everyone had cake, there were dance contests and Dance Dance Revolution tournaments for hours, and everyone was all happy for the night, another Rainbow Night well done..but one thing was left.
As the party died , the Purple Ponderer campers were taken back into their cabin discreetly. The cabin was filled with murmurs and whispers of confusion and curiosity, before Khaos and the other came up to a makeshift podium as he rang a bell to catch their attention, as the cabin went silent. “Purple Ponderers! We bring you here tonight to share a surprise that may soothe us from our unfortunate pressures and worries, so behold..” Khaos announced before a purple glow adorned the cabin’s walls, before the campers stood in shock as tears started to shed as they laid their eyes on someone they hoped they could come back.

The halls of Phoenix General Hospital hummed quietly, as nurses and doctors came by, as a deliverer skittered along, speeding past patients and doctors as packages, supplies, and letters, before screeching to a stop at a particular room, before they knocked on a door, only to be answered with an “enter.” As they came in, a familiar patient laid in his bed as his goggles and bandanna were laid onto the side, “Donnie, how’re you holding up?” Asked the deliverer, “Mx. Roadrunner, it’s been a good while, what am I receiving this time?” Replied Donnie, before a letter was handed to him, “The usual, y’know- they’re really missing you over at camp, and if you ask- Rainbow Night went well, and you got a good bunch of new counselors and campers when you come back,” Mx. Roadrunner mentions, before Donnie snapped his head over at the deliverer, “How many?” He asked, “at least 5 counselors and a few handfuls of campers.” “I need to tell them!” Donnie remembers, before Mx. Roadrunner looked at Donnie confusedly, “tell them what?” They asked, before Donnie face-palmed himself, “Just..get me some paper and a pen…” he sighed tiredly.
