WHAT? I know and understand I'm still a tyro in terms of understanding the complexity that is Channel Awesome, but how did I miss Todd in the Shadows & the Nostalgia Chick dating? When did that happen? WHAT?
For this fic's purposes, let's just say they started dating a few months ago but the others are just learning about it now in early August… yeah. I'm so confused. When did this bloody happen?
...
Okay, relatively recently. Okay. Still- did NOT see this coming. Then again, I have been a TGWTG fan for less than six months...
For this fic, let's just have the characters be the characters but turning their personalities up to 11 for their web reviews, 'kay? And the next chapter will be longer, promise. I just need to stop flipping out from this revelation.
Oh- clearly all I have is the plot bunny; the reviewers all own themselves and the nerd stuff belongs to various people & companies.
Nostalgia Critic was sitting at a booth in a pizza parlor. He had given his order to a waitress, and she had brought over the five drinks he had requested- two root beers, an iced tea, a chocolate milkshake, and a lemonade- but the Chicago-style pizza wouldn't arrive for another five minutes. Anxiously he tapped his fingers against the table, waiting for the others to arrive. He was dressed in his usual: a white T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, red tie, a dark blue blazer, and an indigo hat.
Cinema Snob came first, dressed formally as ever, pushing up his glasses as he entered. Irritably he walked over to the booth, questioning, "Why did you call this meeting?"
"I'd rather go over it all at once," Nostalgia Critic shook his head, rising up and scooting out from the booth. "There's your iced tea, Snob."
"Thanks, Critic," Snob responded as he sat down in front of the iced tea. Retaking his seat, the Critic sipped at his chocolate milkshake. Less than a minute later Linkara and the Spoony One entered together. The latter wore jeans, sneakers, and a Star Trek T-shirt while the former wore jeans, a grey T-shirt, a red & white checkered unbuttoned long-sleeved shirt, brown coat, and a brown trilby hat as well as his glasses.
"Hey, guys," Linkara beamed as the two walked over. Nostalgia Critic pointed to the other side of the booth, saying, "You two get a pair of root beers."
"Sweet," grinned Spoony. Then he paused. "Non-caffeine, right?"
"Duh- I don't want the second most popular contributor to die from soda," Nostalgia Critic complained. "All right, the Nerd will be a while longer so let me get started: it has come to my attention that two of our contributors are dating one another."
"Why is that a problem? I mean, Iron Liz and I are dating, and I'm sure there's others," Linkara observed. Nostalgia Critic pushed up the glasses.
"Because the two dating are… the Nostalgia Chick and Todd in the Shadows."
Spoony spit out the swallow of root beer he had just taken.
"Aw, now I'm doing it too," he complained. Soberly Nostalgia Critic met each of his fellow contributors in the eye.
"This could change everything for Channel Awesome..."
