Before we start, I would like to say that KP is an original character by grace_aledia, so all credit of him goes to her.
Thanks for letting me use him in my fanfic!
:)
-------------
Ooooo, this is cool.
It's like I'm in a movie.
Oh look, we're going through a tunnel.
WOAH, A SECRET BASE
Wait, who's that?
Whoever it is, they look pretty mad at their phone.
Oh, they're mad at a text.
Huh, why were they texting Tater?
"Lol no I'm not giving you access to the code George"
Oh shit, this is George.
What does the text even mean?
Like the code to the library or- oh he's typing.
"Trust me, I don't even know how to code, what's the worst I could do with the files?"
OH, it means code like for coding and stuff.
Oh my god Tater left him on read.
I-
George: UGH STUPID TATER AND THEIR STUPID BOOK AND- *punches the wall bc dumb*
Well DAMN he's angry.
George: You say,
Wait a second...
George: The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay.
Oh god.
George: You cry in the tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by.
Dammit he's singing.
George: Why so sad?
S T O P
George: Remember we made an arrangement when you went away.
Oh yeah, there's probably some contract about something.
George: *puts his phone back in his pocket* Now you're making me mad
I think you've been angry for weeks.
George: Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man.
Ummm... creepy
George: *sighs and totally most definitely calms down* You'll be back. *picks up some blue paper* Soon you'll see, you'll remember you belong to me.
What are you talking about? The book? The people in the book? Someone specific in the book? Either way, that's not right, no one belongs to you, so you should stop before you start a world war.
George: You'll be back, time will tell.
Oh yeah, I forgot you can't hear me
George: You'll remember that I served you well.
The only thing you did was keep track of our debt.
George: Oceans rise, empires fall, we have seen each other through it all.
You are a bit annoying
George: And when push comes to shove, I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love.
Ummm... WHAT?!
George: Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da da da dat dat da ya da!
Well he's definitely gone crazy.
George: Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da da da dat dat da
Oh god
George: You say our love is draining and you can't go on
Wow, who knew he could hit that note?
George: You'll be the one complaining when I am gone
Actually, we were complaining because we're in danger cause you're not stuck in the basement.
George: And no, *slams his fist on the table* don't change the subject!
I think you have anger issues
George: Cause you're my favorite subject
Well then
George: *smiling* My sweet, submissive subject
Ummm wtf
George: My loyal, royal subject. Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever...
You should get some help
George: You'll be back, like before, I will fight the fight and win the war
WHY A WAR
George: For your love, for your praise
Mhm sure
George: And I'll love you 'til my dying days!
Please, die.
George: When you're gone, I'll go mad
You've gone very mad
George: So don't throw away this thing we had. 'Cause when push comes to shove, I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
Okay, who's crazier, Tater or George? Probably George tbh
George: Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da da da dat dat da ya da!
I should probably tell the others, but it might interfere with the plot.
George: *smiles really creepily and walks over to a big blue button in the other side of the room* Da da da dat da, dat da da da da ya da da da dat- *presses the button* Everybody!
WhAT?!
The room lights up as a giant portal is lit, and enemies from literally everything start coming out of it, all of them singing along with George for some reason.
George walks up to the first one to come out, and shakes his hand.
The villain looks as if he's made out of pages from a book, and two letters are lit up on every page.
George grins, and both of them turn to face the rest of the villains.
The short traitor cups his hands over his mouth to sound louder, and yells to all the enemies of the newsies.
"Meet your leader, the one who saved you from your fates in your tales, and whose goal is to make a world for you to be at peace,
KP!"
--------------
Tater: *reading the dare on their phone* Well, I'm certainly gonna like this one!
Is Tater okay? There's no one else in the room-
Tater: But, but, I'm gonna need some help.
I don't think they're okay-
Tater: Now, who do we know that has weapons? Of course, there's George, and PG-13, and my former espresso friend... but there's also Sky. He likes grenades for some reason.
???
Tater: OKAY TIME TO FIND SKY
---------
Tater: *knocks on Sky's bedroom door* Hey-
Sky: *opens the door* *obviously tired of someone* NO I DON'T WANT TO BUILD- Oh hey Tater.
Tater: So, do you like grenades?
-----------
Tater: *reading a book from the spooky library* Paint grenade?
Sky: *reading over Tater's shoulder* Why does it need three crushed up fossils? And... unicorn hair? What the-
Tater: Eh, probably for color.
Sky: *rips the recipe out of the book*
Tater: Hey! I could have sold that for like a lot of money probably.
Sky: *reading off of the list* Do you have any clue what bimberries are?
Tater: *rips the paper out of his hand* You idiot, it says dimberries. Probably in Crutchie's garden.
Sky: Ok then.
----------
Tater: *kicks down the door to the living room*
Sky: *yeets paint grenades* BAM BAM GET DOWN ON THE GROUND WE'RE THE ARMY BAM BAM *yeeting paint grenades* GRENADE GRENADE
For some reason, the paint grenades make smoke fill the room, and most of the newsies start coughing, cause, smoke.
Grace: WHY?!
Tater: Oh yeah, supposed to do the dare. Forgot about that. DOES ANYONE-
Buttons: WHAT'S EVEN IN THESE?!
Sniper: Death.
Smalls: MY EYES FEEL LIKE IT SNIPER
Sniper: Yay I was right!
Tater: Is Race here?
Skye: *trying to find a way out of the smoke* IDK WHY DO YOU CARE?!
Tater: Cause dares.
Race: *just standing next to Tater* Dares?
Tater: Oh, hi. *yeets a knife at him* Sorry, dare.
Race: WHA-
Spot: *appears immediately* NO YOU KILLED HIM- Just bring him back BEFORE I BREAK EVERY SINGLE BONE IN YOUR BODY
Tater: I- that's a mood.
Micah: DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!
Tater: No, but I felt like saying it.
Tyler: *screams*
The smoke slowly clears, and what's left confuses the newsies. A lot of people are missing. And that's not part of the dare soooo...
Something even more concerning than that, is Tyler.
A piece of glass, probably from the glass door, is sticking out of his stomach, blood staining his shirt.
DAMN, I SOUND PROFESSIONAL.
Micah: Tyler? Shit shit shit shit shit-
Davey: *is too shocked to say language*
Micah: *kneels down next to Tyler cause he fell on the ground bc dumb* Oh my god oh my god oh my god-
Tyler: *clearly doesn't realize he's dying* *smiles* Hey Micah
Micah: *smiles* Hey Tyler
Specs: *being smart and trying to stop the bleeding* *calls 911 bc responsiblitity*
Micah: Hold on Tyler, we're getting you to a hospital.
Tyler: *finally realizes he ded boi* Micah I- I love you *dies bc descriptiveness* *oui*
Micah: I love you too Tyler, but- *realizes he ded* Tyler? Nononononoonoonononono... *starts crying bc sadness I guess*
Grace: *got knocked out apparently and wakes up and looks around bc comas- i mean confusion* Finch?
Tater: *writing something down in their notebook* So, Kath, Finch, Kiera, Race, and Elmer are missing. Cool, cool.
Sniper: WHY WOULD THAT BE COOL?!
Tater: Because murder mystery?
Spot: WHAT THE HELL?! RACE IS GONE AND YOU'RE HAPPY?!
Tater: To be honest, not really, cause this is highly inconvenient-
Applez: INCONVINIENT?! THATS IT?! NOT SAD?!
Tater: *shrugs*
Applez: You don't even care, do you?
Tater: I do, I do-
Applez: *shaking because emotions and shock make you do that* You, my friend, are a monster.
------------
The newsies all gather in the important room, which is basically just a room with a bunch of computers and stuff just in case something goes wrong, and leave Tater alone.
Tater: *in their room* *sighs and takes their gun that they apparently have out of its hiding spot, and a backpack out of it too* *walk back downstairs bc drama I guess or some shit like that*
Jojo: *comes out of the important room and follows them* Where are you going?
Tater: Oh, just somewhere.
Jojo: Where?
Tater: Nowhere in particular.
Jojo: Hunter, where are you going?
Tater: Just to see a friend.
Jojo: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE MISSING AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO SEE A FRIEND?!
Tater: *kinda shocked Jojo has the ability to be mad* It'll help.
Jojo: You say that, but it won't.
Tater: It will, trust me.
Jojo: How?
Tater: How what?
Jojo: How can I trust you? You literally just killed one of my best friends.
Tater: Relax, I'm pretty sure the knife didn't hit Race.
Jojo: YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM
Tater: Just- I have to go.
Jojo: You are a drug.
Tater: *really just wants to leave* Oh, good to know I provide happiness-
Jojo: You are a poison pill.
Tater: Well that's less-
Jojo: I've got to kick this habit now, or else I never will.
Tater: *tries to hold his hands* Jo-
Jojo: *pulls his hands away* I loved the rush when you would hold me close, but you will not be satisfied until I overdose.
Tater: I really hope that's a metaphor-
Jojo: This is it, hit the brake, I am finally awake. Let me be, let me go. You need help-
Tater: I really don't-
Jojo: -I can't provide. I am not qualified. This troubled teen is getting clean, I say no.
Tater: *puts a hand on his shoulder which is kinda hard cause he's t a l l* Jojo, you're just scared-
Jojo: *pushes their hand off* No, no, no, no! Don't say a word, you speak and I cave in.
Tater: Well I did get a 7 in English-
Jojo: You'll twist the truth again, drill deep down beneath my skin. You said you'd change, and I believed in you, but you're still using me to justify the harm you do.
Tater: Come on, I do not-
Jojo: This is it, hit the brake, call it all my mistake.
Tater: Why would I-
Jojo: As long as you let me go.
Tater: *realizing he's actually serious bc I'm dumb* Jojo come on-
Jojo: You need help I can't provide.
Tater: I'm fi-
Jojo: I'm not Bonnie, you're not Clyde!
Tater: I-
Jojo: It's not too late, I'm getting straight, I say no.
Tater: But like-
Jojo: Blame your childhood, blame your dad. Blame the life you never had.
Tater: That's not fair!
Jojo: But hurting people? That's your choice, my friend.
Tater: It's not really a fucking choice-
Jojo: 'Cause I believe that love will win.
Tater: Jo just listen to me!
Jojo: And hate will earn you nothing in the end. This is the end!
Tater: *puts their hand over Jojo's mouth so he shuts up* But I love you!
Jojo: *pushes off their hand* Tater- *about to cry bc its Jojo and he's s e n s i t i v e* This is it, I won't cry, starting now, I will try to pay back all the karma I owe. Start again *shrugs* somewhere new. Far from people like you.
Tater: *about to cry bc sadness I guess*
Jojo: So goodbye, 'cause now I'm saying no. Just in time, I say no. Somehow, I'm saying no.
Tater: *actually crying now* *hah w e a k* Jojo, please...
Jojo: *sighs* Just say no. I say no, no.
Tater: Jojo...
Jojo: Just- give me the gun.
Tater: How do you know- wAIT DID YOU GO THROUGH MY STUFF?!
Jojo: No, you sent me a text one night saying what you would do if something bad happened here.
Tater: Oh, I was probably high.
Jojo: Give me the gun before someone gets hurt.
Tater: Jojo, I can't.
Jojo: Well why are you leaving?
Tater: Haven't you realized that shit's going down?
Jojo: Where are you going?
Tater: I- I can't tell you that.
Jojo: Really? Like you couldn't tell me about the secret library? Or that George was dangerous? Or the fact you're married?!
Tater: Oh my gosh you're still mad about THAT?!
Jojo: How would I not?! You're married, and you didn't even tell me!
Tater: Jojo, for the last time, it was a roblox wedding when I was 11. THAT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT!
Jojo: WELL FOR ME IT DOES!
Tater: Well I'm sorry, but I can't tell you where I'm going. I'll be back soon.
Jojo: YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
Tater: I CAN, AND I WILL
Jojo: SOMEONE'S GONNA GET HURT IF YOU HAVE A GUN
Tater: I'M RESPONSIBLE WITH WEAPONS, I'M NOT A CHILD
Jojo: WELL IF YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE YOU WOULD LEAVE THE GUN HERE
Les: *sitting on the stairs* Oh look-
Jojo and Tater: SHUT UP
Les: *slowly sneaks back up the stairs like a snake*
Tater: I don't care what you think about me leaving, cause I'm going anyways. *takes the gun out of their hoodie pocket* Look, I'm responsible. If I was like Crutchie, half the neighbourhood would be dead by now, and we would be a billion more dollars in debt-
Jojo: *just takes the gun from their hand* Uh-huh, very responsible.
What happened next is what we like to call "that one part in Dead Girl Walking (reprise) where JD and Veronica fight for the gun and JD gets-
*gunshot noises* *lol* *this is what we like to call not creativity*
Jojo: *got shot thankfully only in the leg*
Tater: *very very terrified* *this is why I hate guns* *lol* I- I have to go. *puts the gun back in their pocket and runs out the door*
---------------------
Applez: I can't believe it.
Tots: *eating a lollipop* What?
Applez: Tater nearly killed everyone, and then shot Jojo in the leg, and THEN THEY LEFT
Tots: What's wrong with that?
Applez: And I forgot you were a psychopath.
Sarah: What are we gonna do?
Applez: Well, we could get Jack to turn into Varian so he could figure out what the hell to do, but right now, I have no clue.
Smalls: Tater would probably know what to do.
Applez: So, we just have to find them! You're a genius, Smalls!
Smalls: :)
Applez: Ok, so...
-------------------
Tater: *has been running for like the past fifteen minutes HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD* *stops running your body thanks you* *keeps walking wtf whered you get energy* Ugh... what the hell have I done?
I don't know, shot Jojo in the leg?
Tater: Wow, so helpful
I'm just telling the truth.
Tater: It's finally come, come to knock down my door. I can't hide this time, like I hid before-
I'm just gonna spare y'all from having to hear Tater sing the whole song, and describe what they're doing. Okay? Okay.
Tater walks slowly towards the end of the road, but stops suddenly as they see a bridge.
Shit, why are they standing on the railing?
Oh, they're off now.
Thank god.
Oh look, they're running towards a treehouse.
That's a pretty cool treehouse.
Tater: *climbs the treehouse ladder and enters it* Hey Lime.
Lime: (why do all my friends have fruits as names?) *doing something on her laptop* Hey
Tater: What are you working on?
Lime: Minecraft.
Tater: Ok cool. Where's the- umm- magic thingy?
Lime: *points at a table behind her*
Tater: *picks up this like circle glass container like the one in Tangled with a shiny blue liquid* And this should fix everything, right?
Lime: *pauses Minecraft* Well, it won't necessarily fix everything. It'll reset everything.
Tater: Reset it to when?
Lime: A month before you started the ask or dare.
Tater: Ughhh I was still in my old school then.
Lime: Yeah, but its either that or the world will end.
Tater: Cool, cool. Will everyone keep their memories?
Lime: Sorry, I didn't figure out how to do that.
Tater: Oh.
Lime: But if somethings are meant to happen, they'll happen anyway.
Tater: What about Sushi?
Lime: Was she born before the ask or dare?
Tater: No, during it.
Lime: *sighs* She won't exist. Tojo won't exist either, and all couples that started during the ask or dare won't exist. Anything that happened during it will revert.
Tater: So Tyler won't even be in this world?
Lime: Nope.
Tater: Ew will George be back?
Lime: Yeah
Tater: Wait, does this mean Grace and Hope and Micah and Kiera and-
Lime: They'll be back home.
Tater: So, by doing this, I'm ruining everything basically?
Lime: Well, if you don't do this, everything will get destroyed anyways.
Tater: Ew does this mean I'll be nice to Race again?
Lime: Did you ever even like him?
Tater: For like the first week after I saw newsies, yeah.
Lime: You probably won't.
Tater: Phew
Lime: Anyways, you should go.
Tater: Yeah. Well, see you in the past?
Lime: *rolls her eyes and goes back to playing Minecraft*
Tater: *climbs out the window bc smarts and drama i mean bc life*
Lime: Good luck!
--------------------
Tater: *climbs through the window* *well, a window* *which window is it?* *who knows* *oop its the hospital room window*
Jojo: *sitting on a bed looking at his phone*
Tater: *tries to be sneaky but trips on absolutely nothing*
Jojo: Tater?
Tater: Hey
Jojo: *crosses his arms and looks away from them because he is acting like a child-like why stop acting like a child*
Tater: *sighs and opens the door to like ya know find the other newsies*
Right before they go through the door, they turn around.
"Hey, Jo?"
Jojo, being the annoying- I mean, Jojo doesn't answer them, and just stays facing the wall.
"I'm sorry."
