AN: So… I've made a decision, two stories with different timelines, one caused by the other, purely for a ship I like. Awwww yis…

Harry Potter, Boy-Who-Lived, sat on the train with two girls, chatting away while the girls exchanged smiles at his antics.

"-and then I figured, well why not just get the whole costume right? and then I decided to get your costumes made as well so we can make an impression!" He said, without taking any breaks or breathing very much.

"John, remember to breath, Harry Potter isn't meant to be so hyper." One girl said amused.

"oh you'd know wouldn't you rose! how many fanfics did you write for harry potter again?" Harry, or apparently John, asked sarcastically.

"It was in the hundreds, I had nothing to do on the meteor." The girl called Rose, replied seriously.

"wow, you have to have gone thru lots a inks." The other girl said, before frowning. "i'm very teared." She said, and then frowned again. "tired." She clarified with a yawn.

"did you get any sleep rox?" John asked worried.

"No she didn't, she was up all night looking at something on her phone, and giggling a lot." Rose said for 'rox', who gave an mock shocked expression.

"that might have been me, we were talking last night, but only up until eleven." John said.

"he was… uh… idk… being a dork! a hot dork." 'rox' decided.

"Roxy, take a nap for a bit, we'll wake you up when we get near." Rose told her, finally revealing her name.

"yu jus' wan' my bf, don't yu?" Roxy accused through her yawns.

"I do not want John, well…" Rose gave a small smirk playfully.

"hey! can you not talk about me like not here?" John begged.

"fine…" Roxy muttered before curling up and heading to sleep.

"John, we need to talk…" Rose told him seriously.

"yeah rose?"

"If you hurt her in anyway… I will make you regret it." Rose promised.

"i won't hurt her rose, if i do, you'll have to get in line behind me once i find a time to keep taking me back in time to beat myself up." John said seriously.

"Good. I just wanted to make that clear, and ah, maybe text her a little less the night before we head to a boarding school?" She joked a playfully.

"hey! she texted me first! besides… you're the one that said we'd be a cute couple!" John pointed out.

"That is true…" Rose agreed, before pulling out a book.

"yoink!" John said, snatching it.

"John give me my book back!" She shouted annoyed.

"make me!"

"John seriously give it back!" Rose demanded, getting worried.

"why? it's just a book, i won't tear it." John promised as he opened it, using one hand to keep Rose from reaching it. "… oh… oh my…"

Roses face turned bright red.

"i… i'm flattered that you'd include me like that, really. but… i don't really think roxy would be happy getting left out." He said seriously, making Rose sweat drop. "also, you're totally writing a copy for me." He told her.

"Just give it back!" Rose told him. "That's my diary!"

"oh, that makes more sense." John muttered, passing it back to her.

"Thank you…"

"… so… want me to get the costumes yet for later or not?" He asked seriously.

"Get them out now, I miss my old clothes." Rose said, glad for the distraction.

"kay! just give me a second. included under… oh, i was going commando under those jeans wasn't i…" He realised.

"… I was as well, I feel like mine was worse."

"yeah, i had jeans and you got a dress." John agreed. "there we go, hey there's a note!" He told rose as he dug through his suitcase.

"Really?"

"yeah! says that she added something…" John muttered, before pulling something out. "sweeeeet! dave's turntables! i could use those if i hurt rox, or stop myself from doing it, along with my retconness!" He said, before reading a note. "wait, no, these are for if we find dave…" He corrected. "but, she did include this!" He told rose, pulling out a very familiar four eyed cat.

"Vodka mutini?!" Rose said shocked.

"no, dr meowgon spengler." John corrected.

"This is that Casey, Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamander debate all over again…" Rose muttered annoyed.

"heh heh! that was just silly, besides, we agreed that she's casey, remember?" John pointed out.

"Indeed, so this should be Vodka Mutini." Rose added.

"… ok i guess… vodka mutini it is!" He said, passing the mutant cat to Rose.

"How did you get here Vodka?" Rose asked curiously.

"kanaya said she found him, her, what genders the cat?"

"Girl."

"her, at the house while i was out with rox, you were apparently at the bar again getting drunk."

"I agreed to try it for a few weeks, that was just the last time I had to try it." Rose argued.

"i know!" John agreed, having used Rose's distraction to change into a blue outfit with a large windsock as a hood, right in front of her, even changing into the provided underwear.

"D-Did you just…?" Rose stammered.

"yep!"

Rose was silent, before putting Mutini on the seat and grabbing a familiar costume.

"Turn around."

"uh… why?"

"I'm not comfortable stripping in front of you."

"why not?" John asked confused.

"Because you're dating Roxy, not me."

"oh, alright!" John accepted the stupid answer, twisting around, and then turning around the grab the kitten, twisting back to where he was again to look away.

"John! Stop peeking!" Rose scolded, blushing furiously.

"sorry!"

"Ugh…" Rose groaned as she got into the clothes. "I must admit, this brings back memories… Ones I had practically forgotten…" She commented, "You can turn around now." She told John.

"no i can't." John said quickly.

"Why not?" She asked frustrated.

"'cause rox is grabbing my hand and i don't want to let go." He told her, when she turned around she found that Roxy, in her sleep, had instinctively grabbed John's hand when he got close.

"So sit next to her." Rose suggested.

"oh yeah! heh…"

Rose sighed, getting up so John could take her place, and giving him a quick and sudden kiss on the cheek, making him blush.

"rose?! what was that?!" He shouted.

"John, you know I have feelings for you, I just decided to act on them for a moment, I am otherwise content with you and my mother being together." She explained as she sat down where he had been previously.

"don't put it like that… it makes it sound like she's twenty or something!" John complained.

"At least you're not Dave dating her."

"yeah… but still, how would you like it if I accused you o- oh no wait, nevermind." He quickly backtracked.

"Uh… Ok?"

Hours later

Roxy woke up with a catlike mewl as she pressed herself against John's side.

"hey roxy." John said as she looked upwards at him.

"hey johnny…" Roxy said snuggling into his chest.

"Would you like your costume with, or without mask?" Rose asked as she held the domino mask to Roxy's costume up in one hand, the costume in the other.

"wif… with." She decided as she stretched, getting passed the costume, john and rose both looking away to give her time to change.

"Let's head out, we're about to arrive." Rose pointed out.

"alright, let's goo… go." Roxy corrected herself.

"You've had your nap, talk properly." Rose told her.

"heh… sorry, just habit…" She explained with a shrug.

"I have many problems with you and John dating, most of them minor, but a major one is that you call yourself Breathalyzer." Rose stated.

"or roxygen!" John added.

"What."

"heh, get it? roxygen? 'cause like… he's breathe? and im roxy?" Roxy pointed out with a grin.

"Yes, I get it. I was just not expecting how incredibly cheesy it was." Rose explained as they left the train.

"well, at least we live together at home right?" John pointed out.

"I'm still questioning how that happened, for you it seems to be rebirth, but for us, well it's odd…" Rose trailed off.

"probably 'cause you recognised me, rox recognised me, i pranked you both, you're parents found out i was being abused, i lived with you." John said.

"I know that, I'm just saying the chances were very small." Rose corrected.

Roxy giggled, wrapping herself around John's arm and pulling him along. "who care's about all that stuff? not me that's for sure!" She said happily, kissing him on the same cheek that Rose had done the same to. "wait a second…" she muttered, smelling and slightly tasting Rose's lipstick. "rosey…" She said slowly, turning towards her sister/mother/daughter.

Rose stayed silent, moving forwards.

"did you kiss johnny?" She asked curiously.

"I'm not answering that question."

"so you diiid!? why didn't you tell me? we could have had like, a threesome date or something!" Roxy said happily.

"Because that's incest, or something like that, besides I'm happy with Kanaya." Rose pointed out.

"uuuuunnnnnngh… thaaat's borring!" She complained.

"so is dave trying to be ironic while drowning in puppet rump." John joked.

"Ah yes, that… I remember it well." Rose said with a smile.

Bit later

After Rose had a freak out over the rickety boats, and they had gotten inside, they waited for the ghosts they knew would float through the walls, Rose having made John read the books and Roxy having had nothing but the books to read.

Once that happened, they entered the hall, ignoring the staring at their outfits and looking around.

"maybe i judged a bit harshly… this is awesome." John whispered to rose.

"Potter, Harry!"

John looked at Rose and shrugged.

"Has anyone seen potter?"

"You know, people are going to figure it out, you're the only male left." Rose pointed out.

"yeah, i'm just waiting for that."

"Does anyone know of Potter's location?!" The old lady, McGonagall, called out worried.

"might as well get it over with…" John muttered, walking forwards. "the reason i ignored it is cause my name's legally john egbert, which just sounds much better." He explained, putting the hat on his head.

"Hmm… Let's see… Not Ravenclaw… You're not smart enough, and you know that…" A voice, the hat likely, said inside John's head.

"yeah, but i feel like i'm either a puff or a lion, both of them involve loyalty to those you care about." He pointed out.

"True… True… Well then… GRYFFINDOR!" It shouted, getting cheers.

"go johnny!" Roxy shouted over the cheers, barely heard.

"Lalonde, Rose!"

Rose went under the hat.

"I'm tempted to say Slytherin…"

"Do that and I burn you to a crisp." Rose threatened.

"I won't, Ravenclaw maybe… But would you be happy."

"Likely no, I would enjoy it but I wouldn't be complete there, I need to be with those I care about really." She admitted.

"Very well… GRYFFINDOR!"

"Lalonde, Roxy!"

Roxy put the hat on.

"Hmm… Not Ravenclaw… Or slytherin… Hufflepuff? No… You'd be out in a day with how you act… GRYFFINDOR!"

Roxy joined her Sister/Mother/Daughter and her boyfriend at the table, all of them sitting together.

"So Potter, what's with the name?" A boy asked confused.

"John he's talking to you." Rose said.

"huh? oh! i was adopted by my dad when i was four, i was being abused by my aunt and uncle. thanks to rose and rox i ended up getting adopted by my dad, who ended up living with their mom in a platonic relationship, it's got to be platonic since i'm sorta…" He trailed off embarrassed, getting kissed on the cheek by Roxy.

"you're datin' the cutest girl to ever cute! riiiight johnny windsock?" Roxy teased.

"since roxy's my girlfriend." He agreed, both upsetting the fangirls and making them coo at the cuteness.

"Now then John, I believe it would be wise for us to prepare ourselves for lessons." Rose said instantly, ruining the mood.

"you realise i'm sleeping in a… huh, that's not good…" John realised.

"Yes, it's quite a problem." Rose agreed.

"i can just sleep on a couch." Roxy pointed out.

"i don't have a problem with that, couches are comfy." John accepted.

"I can always do some knitting and keep an eye on you." Rose added. "I promised your father that I would." She explained.

"What are you lot talking about?" The boy asked confused.

"Roxy has trouble sleeping without John, and even then it's quite difficult, she usually spends nights wide awake, only to fall asleep on John the next day." Rose explained.

"not my fault." Roxy added.

"I didn't say anything." Rose argued.

"let's go!" John said dragging them off as soon as the foods vanished.

Be John, kiss the girl

You're John, always have been, you would kiss Roxy, but she just needs to get some sleep, and brush her teeth, she was eating peanut flavoured pocky on the train and you're allergic, not deathly anymore, but it doesn't help…

Be past Roxy, don't eat pocky.

You're now past Roxy, and you're currently finishing off your pocky, you'll have to brush heavily later to make out with John but for now you just want to eat something.

Be Rose, write fanfiction.

You are now rose, unfortunately you have no equipment to write with.

Back to normal.

John sat with Roxy in a comfy chair, Roxy in his lap and head on his shoulder. "night roxy."

"night john…"

"night rose…"

"Goodnight John." Rose said as she started to knit something, John's eyes grew heavier by the second… But he could swear it looked familiar…

AN: Jeez this is long, I wrote this entire thing in one go, I had a plan, plan left me for a different one, but the different plans ex decided to take pity on me and become the plot for this story instead.
