A/N: And here is the long awaited QnA chapter! What better way to send this off, huh?

Thank you so much to all of you for your wonderful questions! I didn't quite answer them all, but I had a good go at most of them that I received. Your support with the creation of this story has been incredible, and I hope you stick around for the next one (which is up right now! First chapter is going up soon I promise!)

I really loved writing this story, and I love these characters to death. Thank you for giving me the platform to be able to share my work, and for giving your thoughts on it. It's so appreciated, you have no idea.


Aunt Cass, how are you holding up through all of this? And what is your favourite thing about running a café?

Well, this past year has been very difficult, of course it has. But you know, we're pushing through it. I don't know what I would do without them though, they're the ones keeping me going I suppose. I mean, I do worry about them a lot. Of course I do. But they're very strong, and I know they can get through this. As for the café, I love the people. So many different people wander in, all with different stories and personalities. It's a treat talking to them and learning more about them. It's a welcome distraction as well, when things get tough.

Gogo, how did you learn to skate?

I taught myself. When I was a kid, I begged and begged my parents for a skateboard. Eventually, they agreed and I taught myself on the driveway. It was a pain, and I injured myself more often than not. But I got really good at it, eventually. A coupe, of years later I got my first pair of skates. And I realised that that was where my passion was. Skating. Maybe I should have got a teacher or forced one of the neighbours to teach me, but I still managed just fine.

Wasabi, do you like being a superhero?

I don't know if I would necessarily call myself a 'superhero.' It's terrifying though - there's so much danger and so many ways everything could go wrong! But all the same, there's nothing that can compare to the feeling of victory. I don't enjoy the fighting, but there's nothing better than the feeling of winning. And the adrenaline rush. So yeah, I guess I do.

Fred, when did you start reading comic books?

Oh man, I've been reading comic books for years! My Dad is a superhero, and I've loved superheroes and villains ever since I've been old enough to understand what they were. I can't remember a time when I didn't read comics.

Honey Lemon, what kind of music do you like?

My favourite artist is Cavetown. I love his voice and his lyrics, I think they're really beautiful. Especially 'things that make it warm' and 'feb 14.' I also love all those other artists in that kind of genre, mxmtoon, Ricky Montgomery, Tessa Violet, dodie, Clairo, beebadoobee, Conan Gray, Sody. They're like indie, bedroom pop kind of music. I can highly recommend!

Hiro, if you could change one thing about the last 3 years, what would it be?

Is there an 'all of the above' option? I guess out of everything, I wish I had listened. Listen to everything everyone had told me instead of just ignoring them and pretending like I hadn't heard it. I wish I'd listened to Rena and Tadashi when they said I could tell them anything. I wish I'd listened to my Aunt Cass. I wish I had listened to my friends. I regret that. I think things would have been a lot different if I had.

Tadashi, do you ever wish you weren't the oldest sibling?

Yeah. Sometimes I do. It would be nice to not have as many responsibilities and be 'in charge.' But at the same time, despite everything, I don't think I would change my place.

Rena, would you rather be able to fly but always have to wear high heels, or be able to breath underwater but not be able to eat any seafood?

Definitely the second one. First of all, I have Baymax. Do I really need to be able to fly? Also high heels are gross and uncomfortable and I hate wearing them. As much as I love seafood, I would happily give it up to breathe underwater. I have a fear of deep water and drowning, and if I could breathe underwater there would be no problem! So yeah. Definitely the second one.

What's your favourite book?

Rena: Oranges are not the only fruit by Jeanette Winterson. I also love Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar.'

Tadashi: The Great Gatsby.

Hiro: The Screaming Staircase - the first book in the Lockwood and Co. series by Jonathon Stroud.

Fred: Assuming that this isn't counting comics, I'm gonna say Percy Jackson. Specifically, the Sea of Monsters. It's one of the only proper book series I've read and actually enjoyed.

Wasabi: I'm gonna be boring and say Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Honey Lemon: Anything by John Green!

Gogo: The Hunger Games.

Caine: Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

What is your favourite food?

Rena: My Aunt Cass's handmade muffins. Specifically the blueberry ones.

Hiro: Aunt Cass's hot wings. They're so spicy but they are so good.

Fred: PIZZA!

Wasabi: Probably sushi.

HoneyLemon: Sweet and salted popcorn!

Gogo: Nothing's better than a good old fashioned cheeseburger.

Caine: Chips. Crisps. Whatever you wanna call them, the thin crispy ones. I love pretty much every single flavour out there but specifically salt and vinegar is the best.

What is your least favourite food?

Rena: Mac and cheese. I know, I know. I hate it though, cheese sauce makes me gag.

Tadashi: Cucumber. I like it thinly sliced in a sandwich or something, but other than that it's disgusting.

Hiro: Pickles are disgusting and I won't be taking any debate because I'm right.

Fred: Salad. It's so gross and wet and I don't. understand how Honey Lemon is always eating it.

Wasabi: Wasabi. I only spilt a little bit on my shirt, and it's haunted me ever since.

Honey Lemon: I hate pineapple. I don't like the taste or the way it makes your tongue feel.

Gogo: Jelly beans. Hate them.

Caine: Sardines. I had to eat a tin of them after losing a dare and I puked my guts up. Never again.

Favourite animal?

Rena: Foxes! I just think they're neat.

Tadashi: I'm 100% a cat person to be honest.

Hiro: I like dogs! Particularly labradors.

Fred: Lizards!

Wasabi: Tortoises. I feel like I can relate to them on some level.

Honey Lemon: I really love bunnies! They're so fluffy and so adorable!

Gogo: I don't know, cheetahs are pretty cool.

Caine: I like parrots. I had one when I was a kid. He was called Bob.

Favourite childhood memory?

Rena: I was supposed to be at one of my friend's houses for a sleepover in middle school, but instead we were just sat at the park until around 3am playing on the swings and messing about. It was fun! There was nobody else there and we could do whatever we wanted. She did my makeup when we were sat at the top of the slide and I showed her my favourite songs on my old iPod.

Tadashi: Probably the Christmas before our parents died. The day itself was lovely, we had loads of food and played games and had a dance battle. I tried champagne for the first time. It was gross, but nine year old me was loving it. I also got a 'make your own robot kit.' I swear, I spent all of boxing day on that kit. I was so proud of that tiny robot, and I guess it was where I first realised how much I loved robotics.

Hiro: Tadashi and Rena took me to a waterpark when Tadashi learnt to drive. It was great! Apart from when Tadashi went down the biggest slide and vomited into the swimming pool. To be fair though, that was hilarious. He was pretty embarrassed though, and we left pretty quickly after that. On the way home we stopped and bought loads of water balloons and had a fight in this car park. I won.

Fred: When my Dad took me on a tour of his superhero headquarters for the first time, when I was about eight or nine. I almost blew my arm off touching a flamethrower but it was way worth it. His headquarters is the coolest thing I've ever seen and I wish he would let me in there more often.

Wasabi: I went to Iceland when I was ten. The mountains were beautiful and I've never been anywhere prettier. I'm going back one day, mark my words!

Honey Lemon: I went to Disney land when I was ten. It was the best week of my life and I've been chasing that high ever since. I've still got the photos of me and all the Disney princesses!

Gogo: I went to a stunt show when I was seven with my dad. It was the one thing that inspired me to start skating, as corny as it sounds. I just loved all the stunts and everyone jumping through hoops of fire.

Caine: Going to the beach when I was six or seven. I know that's probably pretty boring, but it was the best. Making sandcastles and diving in the sea. And the ice cream! I haven't been to the beach in years.

Do you have any siblings?

Fred: Nope! Only child!

Wasabi: I have a two sisters, both younger than me. They're twins, and they've just turned eleven.

Honey Lemon: I have an older sister, but we don't talk that much anymore. She's twenty four.

Gogo: Two older brothers, both in their early twenties. They're a right pain in the ass.

Caine: One older brother. I haven't seen him in about four or five years now, but he's twenty two.

Least favourite childhood memory?

Rena: I don't know, your parents dying in a car crash kinda takes the number one spot.

Tadashi: I'd have to say my parent's funeral. I gave their eulogy, despite only being eight. It's a memory I'd rather not want to revisit.

Hiro: I don't remember the car crash or anything, so I'd have to say walking into high school for the first time and experiencing the crushing realisation that it wasn't everything I'd hoped it would be.

Fred: My Dad got injured once fighting some kind of supervillain. I don't remember much about it because I was so small, but I do remember sitting by his bedside and not knowing why he wouldn't wake up. I didn't understand at the time, but it's scary to think how close he had gotten.

Wasabi: My Grandma dying when I was eleven. I was the last to find out - nobody wanted to break it to me at first. I remember walking in the room to see my Dad crying and he refused to tell me why. My Mom told me and to this day me and my Dad have never spoken about it.

Honey Lemon: I know it sounds silly, but my rabbit died when I was ten. She was called Fluffy and I cried for weeks afterwards.

Gogo: My Dad left when I was ten. One day we woke up and he was just gone, so signs that he'd ever been there in the first place. I don't like to talk about it because he's a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve the time of the day.

Caine: There's a lot, but my Mom dying takes the number one spot I guess.

Have you ever been in love?

Rena: I mean... Clara...

Tadashi: No I don't... I don't think so. Sure, I've had crushes on people. But I don't think it's love. It might not have even been a proper crush. I don't know. Perhaps I will fall in love one day.

Hiro: No. I mean, I haven't really been around other teenagers my age. I started high school when I was 10, it wasn't exactly I was falling in love with the kids who were like... 5 years older than me. Besides, that shit is gross. I'll stick with my robotics, thanks.

Fred: There's this... person. I see them a lot, and I know they're definitely not interested in me. Like, at all. But... I don't know. They're just so perfect. So sweet, and so kind. I mean, no one ever takes me seriously. But this person does. They listen! And they're also one of the only ones that can play video games with me and sit through movies whilst I talk throughout.

Wasabi: Man I don't know! I mean, I can't decide what to have for lunch, let alone whether or not I'm in love with someone! Not gonna lie, I'm not really one for romance. Sure, there are cool people out there that I'd love to date. But... yeah. I don't know.

Honey Lemon: There was this dude in my maths class in senior year. Jack, he was called. He was... so sweet. And so hot. And he always talked to me everyday. I used to leave little notes in his locker! I don't know if he ever found out that it was me. I wonder where he is now. He was so lovely.

Gogo: Nah. Guys bore me. I've had the odd crush on some people in high school but overall? I can't be arsed with them. I mean, there was this person in high school though...

Caine: I mean, I've spent half my adolescent years with Jason and his gang. Marissa was nice and all and I definitely liked her, but I don't think that was necessarily love. I don't know if I'm in love with Rena. You know, sometimes I think I might be...

What's a weird memory that will always stick in your mind?

Rena: After our parents died and we had been bandaged up at the hospital, they took us to a McDonald's. Literally before anything else, like the adults thought it would make everything better for some reason? Anyway, I remember walking up to the counter with this social worker who was trying to sort out care for us. She was on the phone to Aunt Cass discussing childcare details or whatever and the cashier looked at the three of us. We must have looked a right sight. Wearing dirty clothes. Probably crying. Injured. Me holding Tadashi's hand. Tadashi carrying Hiro, who was asleep on his shoulder. Orphans. That's what we were. Orphans. Anyway. This cashier says 'hello kids! Welcome to McDonald's! Are you having a great day?' because y'know.. we were kids. Kids are meant to be joyful. I distinctly remember Tadashi looking this woman in the eye and saying 'our parents just died in a car crash. So no. We're not really having a great day, thank you very much.' And the cashier just stares at him for a minute. Then, the realisation slowly dawns and she claps a hand to her face. Then the sobbing starts. Seriously, she's crying and crying and apologising and asking if we're okay. A manager comes over and after a bit of an explanation he gives us each a free McFlurry. It's funny. No one tells you that when your parents die you get free ice cream. Did they think that would make everything better? Free ice cream? It didn't even taste of anything. It just tasted... Cold. I don't think I even got halfway through it. It's weird that this is one of the things that I remember the most. I guess it was the first time that everything sank in. The first time I realised the full momentum of the crash, and what it would mean for us. Something so mundane in the extraordinary. Free ice cream.

Tadashi: I don't remember much about the fire. Pretty much as soon as I ran into the building, my lungs were full of smoke and I could barely see anything. I don't remember what happened in there. No matter how hard people want me to remember. I just... can't. But I do remember one thing. An image. A single flash of colour. I was standing in the entrance way, a wall of orange and red around me. Despite the smell and the heat, it was beautiful. I know I'll never see anything like it again. I was mesmerised by the swirling colours, almost hypnotised. I could hear Rena screaming behind me and the sounds of the crackling. Then, everything went black. I think I was too out of it to realise the building was about to explode. I couldn't move. Definitely weird. And I don't think I'll ever get that image out of my head.

Hiro: When I woke up in the hospital after Rena and Tadashi finding me in the bathroom, they didn't say anything. I was expecting tears or grovelling or pleading or something. But no. Rena placed a bottle of lemonade in my hand and said she picked it up because she knew it was my favourite. I wanted to tell them how sorry I was, but I couldn't find the words. So, instead, we sat and drank lemonade and didn't say anything. Not for hours and hours. And it was weird because it wasn't what I was expecting. We just... sat. Enjoyed one another's company. It was nice. Words came later.

Fred: I swear on my life I saw a ghost. I was lying in bed, trying to get to sleep when the door creaked open. Someone whispered my name and despite being freaked, I still followed the voice down the hallway. Well, I got down to the kitchen and there was a pizza box FLOATING IN THE AIR! I ran and grabbed it because nobody touches my pizza and then the voice disappeared. So I was haunted by a ghost who got pissed at me when I took my pizza back. It's not my fault! That pizza was rightfully mine! They had no right whatsoever.

Wasabi: A bird landed on my head in the middle of class in sixth grade. It just kinda sat there as I was screaming and everyone was making a huge fuss. My teacher eventually had to literally grab it with both hands and throw it out the window. I don't know why the bird did that and I'm still angry that he chose me out of anyone in that room. For almost a year everyone called me 'Bird Head' and I was convinced I would never be able to live it down.

Honey Lemon: Probably the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me was meeting Danny DeVito in Target. He was behind me in the checkout and paid for my lunch when I didn't have enough change on me. No one ever seems to believe me when I tell them, and at this point I'm convinced that he's a figment of my imagination.

Gogo: I was skateboarding and this car came out of nowhere and smacked right into me. I landed on the floor, picked up my skateboard and ran. Not a single scratch. I'm not complaining that I was so lucky, but I still can't believe I didn't even break anything. I probably gave the driver a heart attack. Whoops.

Caine: When I first got my licence, I was driving around a corner when suddenly I hit someone on a skateboard. It scared the life out of me, but by the time I'd opened the door to see if they were okay they were up and running away from me. I hope they were okay, but if I'm honest I'm glad they ran away. I was convinced I'd end up in a cell next to my brother.

Questions for me! (Thank you to the lovely person on who messaged me with questions about me that was really sweet!)

Which of the characters is your favourite? Obviously I didn't create Wasabi, Hiro, Honey Lemon, etc. So I think I'm biased when I say my favourite is Rena. I absolutely adore all of them I think they're wonderful, but I love Rena so much. And she's mine! I created her. I also love Tadashi. I fell in love with him in the film (not literally LMAO) and it was actually devastating when he died. I'm still not over it. Personally I think he's the best characters Disney has ever created.

How do you get in the right frame of mind to write? One thing - music. I listen to music when I'm writing. Mostly movie soundtracks (my favourite one to listen to is How to Train Your Dragon cos I have the vinyl) or game soundtracks like Mario Kart and Minecraft. I've also created a playlist for each of the key characters. It helps to get to know them better, which then makes writing them easier. Obviously most of these characters aren't mine, but I've still made the playlists anyway. Below are a few key songs from each!

Rena: Line without a hook (Ricky Montgomery), 4AM (Bears in Trees), Smells like Teen Spirit, Teenage Dirtbag, She (dodie), I wanna be with you (chloe moriondo) The 411 (Bears in Trees), Coffee's for closures (Fall out Boy).

Fred: Centuries (Fall out Boy), Immortals (Fall out Boy), Tribute (Tenacious D), Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns N' Roses), Pyro (The Rills), She's Kinda Hot (5SOS), American Idiot (Green Day)

Wasabi: Not gonna lie Wasabi is just Queen. He has those vibes and I feel like that's all he would listen to!

Honey Lemon: Seaside (Bears in Trees), The Elements (Tom Lehrer), Heather (Conan Gray), Human (dodie), prom dress (mxmtoon), no faker (mxmtoon), Snail (Cavetown), Meteor Shower (Cavetown), Into the Unknown (Frozen II soundtrack), This is Me (Greatest Showman).
