Sophie: Are we almost done?
Biana: Last chapter!
Tam: Thank god.
Keefe: Phew.
Linh: Aww...
Dex: Linh?
Linh: It's fun reading these.
Fitz: No.
Linh: But it is!
Fitz: Just get on with it Biana.
Biana: Fine, Mr. Grumpy.
"They all walked through the carnival and Keefe dared Fitz,"
Fitz: I'm screwed, aren't I?
Keefe: Unlikely. 'Story Me' sucks at dares.
Biana: Not just 'Story You'. *smirks*
Keefe: Wow, excuse me? Foster! Defend me!
Sophie: No.
Keefe: If you won't defend me, why have I even been flirting with you? No more flirting unless you defend me, Foster.
Sophie: *blushes* Shut up.
"To go on a ride that is really high and spinny,"
Dex: Thank god it's not me.
Sophie: It's not any of us. It's a story. Why can't any of us ever remember this is a story?
"And then when Fitz was about to go on the ride he pulled Keefe along with him and they both went on the scary ride."
Keefe: Oh no.
Fitz: *sticks his tongue out at Keefe*
Biana: So mature, bro. So mature.
Linh: Fitz! *hits him lightly*
Fitz: Sorry...
"When they came out they were so pale and then Keefe threw up in a garbage can,"
Everyone (except Keefe): *uncontrollable laughing*
Keefe: Shut up.
Dex: It's not me anymore! Woohoo! Thanks bro.
Keefe: *stiffly* You're welcome, bro.
"and then they *snickers* decided to all *bursts into giggles*,"
Fitz: Pull yourself together Biana!
Biana: *giggles* Sorry!
"and then they decided to all go on the love boat ride."
Tam: *horrified expression* Linh, I'm leaving, you can't stop me.
Linh: Sure I can. Biana!
Tam: *frogmarched back to his chair by Biana and Linh* *deep sigh* Fine...
Keefe: I don't want to go on a love boat ride either, if that comforts you.
Tam: It doesn't.
Keefe: *under his breath* Fight me.
"The boat was called The Black Swan (What a coincidence?)"
Biana: wHaT a CoInCiDeNcE!
Sophie: Chill, B.
Biana: cHiLl B.
Linh: Biana...
"The couples sat together."
Dex: For someone who can't remember, who are the couples? It's been a while since last time.
Linh: Well, there's me and Fitz,
Fitz: *blushes*
Tam: *glares at Fitz*
Linh: Biana and Tam,
Biana: *blushes*
Tam: *slinks into the shadows*
Linh: Sophie and Keefe,
Sophie: *blushes and hides behind her hair*
Keefe: *winks at Sophie*
Sophie: *rolls her eyes and blushes more*
Linh: And you and Marella.
Dex: Oh, right. GrEaT.
Keefe: At least you're not still dating your arm. *turns red* You know what I mean.
Dex: *buries his head in his hands* Can we move on please?
Biana: *still blushing* Sure.
"In the middle of the ride, when things were getting good, Mr. Forkle popped up and said "I need you guys to go on a mission for the Black Swan.""
Biana: Is it bad that this sounds totally normal to me?
Keefe: Yep.
""Oh and Dex, your mom is worrying about you.""
Dex: *blushes*
Tam and Fitz: *snickering*
Keefe: I feel like there's a 'your mom' joke in here somewhere.
Biana: Wow, real mature.
""Turns out the Neverseen didn't actually drown in the pool and now they are somewhere at this carnival""
Keefe: *over exaggerated gasp* How is that possible?
Tam: *deadpan* Oh no, the Neverseen aren't dead and are at the same carnival we decided to go to! What a coincidence!
Sophie: Much shocking. Such surprise. Very astound.
Fitz: What?
Sophie: Sorry. Human stuff.
""Wait you have been watching us the whole time?" Sophie asked,"
Tam: Well THAT'S not creepy.
Keefe: You're one to talk!
Tam: *instantly* You joined the Neverseen.
Keefe: That was one time, guys! ONE TIME!
"And started whining when he nodded."
Keefe: The 'Keefe stamp of approval' has been given to this line of text for its accuracy to the person being written about.
Sophie: Shut up.
Biana: *imitates Sophie* Waah, Mr. Forkle! Why can't you let me make out with my boyfriend in peace.
Sophie: Betrayed! By my own best friend!
Keefe: * mock serious* I'm not your best friend?
Sophie: Keefe...
Fitz: *grinning* I thought I was your best friend!
Dex: *actually looks kinda hurt* What about me? Am I not your best friend?
Linh: *smiling enthusiastically* Sophie! What do you mean I'm not your best friend?
Everyone: *looks expectantly at Tam*
Tam: *wearing his 'I'm so done' expression* *over-exaggerated* Sophie, I thought I was your best friend!
Sophie: *chuckles*
""The Truth or Dare, and- and-" "Yes, I've been watching you this whole time." And then the Neverseen popped up and kidnapped Marella and then they disappeared."
Fitz: That was abrupt.
Sophie: The writer doesn't seem to know how to ease readers into plot points.
Keefe: Hey, Foster, know why the Neverseen are called the Neverseen?
Sophie: *exasperated sigh* I dunno, why are they called the Neverseen?
Keefe: Because they're Never seen! Geddit? Never seen.
Biana: That wasn't even a proper joke.
Keefe: I'm offended, B.
Tam: Good job Biana!
Biana: *laughs and rolls her eyes*
""Come on, we've got to get Marella!" Dex said."
Keefe: *waggles his eyebrows* You seem awfully impatient to get Marella, Dex! Anything you'd like to share with the class?
Dex: *glares at Keefe*
Fitz: *whispers to Linh* We're a class?
Linh: *whispers back* Just roll with it.
""Ooh someone likes Marella!" Biana said."
Keefe: The 'Keefe stamp of approval' has yet again been given to a line of text for its accuracy to the person being written about.
Sophie: Ha!
Biana: At least mine's not about me whining.
Sophie: Whatever.
""Not the time!" Sophie said when Dex's face turned red."
Linh: *smiles sweetly* That's nice Sophie.
Sophie: I didn't even do it, but thanks!
Dex: Why am I red? 'Story me' and 'Story Marella' are dating.
Tam: *shrugs* Someone dared you to put blush on? Don't even bother trying to associate logic with this mess.
""You kids are always being typical teenagers." Mr. Forkle said."
Keefe: What are we supposed to be? Adults? Senior citizens?
Biana: Well, I do know some people in this room who act like infants.
Sophie: The shade being thrown! Wow, Biana.
Tam: Throwing shade is my job.
Sophie: Not quite what I meant.
"Then they found out where the Neverseen hideout was and it was in the hall of mirrors (at the carnival),"
Tam: In case you thought it was in the hall of mirrors in the North Pole.
Biana: That's the South Pole, idiot.
"So they went there and saw Marella trapped in a mirror."
Sophie: What.
Dex: How?
Linh: This makes no sense.
Fitz: *nods* Absolutely none.
"Then Dex disappeared and ended up in a mirror."
Tam: So he didn't really disappear then. He just moved into the mirror.
Biana: You make the process sound normal.
Tam: *raises eyebrow* It's not?
"One by one everybody disappeared and Sophie was the last one standing."
Keefe: Foster was the last one standing. Really? Didn't see that one coming.
"Then the Neverseen appeared and dragged Sophie away,"
Keefe: So their plan was to attack us, *starts ticking things off on his fingers* pretend to drown, then hope we'd go to a carnival that they were hiding at, when we could have gone anywhere. *takes a deep breath* Next, they had to make sure Mr. Forkle came and told us that they were hiding out there, then make sure we knew where they were so that we would find them, and finally take out everyone by putting them in mirrors, just so that they could kidnap Sophie. Not a great plan.
Sophie: Nice summary Keefe. Not long winded at all.
Keefe: I worked hard on my summary.
Sophie: For about three seconds.
"But her friends escaped their mirrors and went after them and Mr. Forkle pulled out his melder to kill them all!"
Sophie: Woah, Mr. Forkle, turn it down a notch.
"And then they all went to go save Sophie and Mr. Forkle blasted the Neverseen with melders,"
Tam: And the Neverseen all died, the end.
Linh: No, Tam! That's not even the end of the sentence.
Tam: *whispers* Damn.
Linh: Tam...
Tam: *whispers* Drat.
"And Keefe took Sophie away from them and he kissed her (again),"
Sophie: *blushes*
Fitz: Keefe, not the time.
Keefe: You're just annoyed it's not you.
Fitz: I-uh-no I'm not.
Keefe: Yahuh. Sure... You stick with that.
Fitz: *annoyed sigh*
"But then all the parents showed up because Mr. Forkle had hailed them."
Fitz: Oh crap.
Biana: We're all doomed.
Tam: Except me.
Linh: And me.
Keefe: AND ME!
Sophie: I was already doomed.
Dex: *pats Sophie* At least you're admitting it now- uh I mean- you poor thing.
"Grady grounded Sophie till she was 18."
Keefe: The 'Keefe stamp of approval' has, for the third time, been given to a line of text for its accuracy to the persons being written about.
"And all the parents had a long talk about crushes and dating and crap,"
Sophie: *groans and buries head in hands* I'm having flashbacks...
Keefe: Oh god, with my parents... That would be terrible...
Fitz: *staring forwards stiffly* I'm still trying to forget.
"And then all of the kids went and hung out with Sophie in her room and they laughed about everything that happened and they gave Iggy a makeover."
Sophie: Aren't I grounded though?
Keefe: That's why we're hanging out in your room.
Sophie: Grounding should not be this lax.
"Then everyone had to leave except Keefe."
Biana, Dex, and Linh: OooOOooh!
Keefe: *rolls eyes* Knock it off guys.
Sophie: *blushes*
"They decided to take a ride on Silveny."
Sophie: BuT i'M gRoUnDeD! wHaT tHe FrIcK fRaCk!
Tam: *sarcastically* Chill Sophie, no need to swear.
Biana: *snickers*
"So they went on a ride on Silveny and they flew over the ocean and then they kissed,"
Keefe: Why do we kiss so much? *turns red* Um, in the book.
Sophie: *also bright red* Yeah, why do our characters kiss so much?
Biana, Dex, Linh, and Tam: *whispering in a corner*
Keefe: *still really red* Knock it off, guys!
"And Silveny acted all happy and it was nice."
Biana: Silveny ships it.
Linh: She's not the only one.
Sophie: *blushes for the billionth time*
"THE END."
Tam: THANK GOD.
***
Clairebear: *poofs in again* What did you guys think?
Sophie: Too shippy.
Keefe: It was funny.
Fitz: I didn't really like it.
Keefe: Because you didn't end up with Sophie?
Fitz: *rolls eyes*
Dex: That was the best thing I have ever read. Except for the part where I kissed Stina.
Biana: Hilarious.
Linh: I liked it.
Tam: NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN.
Linh: Tam, that's mean.
Tam: Fine, the part where Keefe threw up was funny.
Linh: *still disapproving*
A/N: Ok guys, that was the end of the cringy story! I am so, so, SO sorry for the almost 6 month long hiatus, but at least I'm here now? Sorry. I still probably won't be updating super frequently (I have a lot of homework), but I'll try not to have a repeat of this. Finally, thank you for all your support and lovely comments, even when I wasn't writing often. You guys are the best and... HAPPY 2018!
