Author's Note: First of all, thanks so much for the reviews! I had no idea this would get so much love. Thank you, fabulous Tumblr users 3 Also, as a note of reference: Addict is the Arrested Development fandom, and "Natty" is the SPN fandom. (I couldn't find a name so I made up one).

"Soon you're gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends… she should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge (revenge!)…"

Fandom stood outside in the cold. In sharp contrast to icy air around her, the party inside Gleek's house was roaring with the fire of excited fandoms. From inside came the slosh and rock of drinks being passed around, and the chiming words of Freddie Mercury as "Don't Stop Believing" played out over the crowd.

Gleek, the princess of the night, wore a beautiful dress decorated with stars. She was chatting with Natty, a shy fandom with a bad temper, who wore glasses and a jumper that said "Save Castiel" (as well as a sock monkey hat, a birthday gift from Minion when he was in town last summer).

"I'm so happy Glee is coming back tonight!" said Gleek. "I waited so long!"

Bullshit. Fandom thinks.

Natty takes a sip of her drink, but her eyes are still full of anxiety. "I'm happy Supernatural is coming back, but I'm worried that she might kill off Castiel."

"Why would Supernatural do that? Everyone loves Castiel!" said Gleek.

"Well… I wasn't going to tell anyone, but lately Supernatural's been hanging out with the wrong crowd." Natty leaned in closer and adjusted her glasses. "Her name is Sera Gamble and I'm… I'm w-worried that she'll get Supernatural to do something stupid, like kill off a popular character. But Death is coming back, though, so that's nice."

Gleek ignored her. "You know, I'm so happy that I survived the hiatus. It was so long, you know? I thought I was going to die."

At this point Fandom crunched the coke can in her hand and let it clutter to the floor. How dare Gleek say that she waited! Fandom had waited the longest out of everyone, and she still didn't have her Show back yet.

"Tired of waiting, eh?" Fandom looked up. Standing beside her was a man wearing a sweater vest and sipping from a soda can with an impossible allure.

"Uh, yeah. Are you a fandom?"

"Yep." The man extended his (blue dyed) hand and shook Fandom's gingerly. "My name is Addict."

"What are you a fan of? Weeds?"

Addict laughed. "I wish. No, it's Arrested Development."

"Why are you here?" said Fandom.

"Because I'm tired of waiting, too. Here, take a walk with me."

Fandom agrees, and the two walk off into the street. Before they know it, they're at a large building called "Waiting Room".

"I've never been here before…" says Fandom as Addict leads her into it. Bright lights twinkle everywhere. There's a ping pong table in the corner and a group of unfamiliar fandoms who stare back at her.

There's a group of placards on the wall, and Fandom takes some time to inspect them.

"Why is Whovian up here?" she says, turning to Addict. "She never waited."

"Yeah she did. When the Classic Who got canceled, Whovian had to wait almost a decade before the New Who came out."

"Wow… that's longer than I have…" Fandom said, suddenly feeling a bit sad.

"Look, I waited too. I'm still waiting on that Arrested Development movie." said Addict. "I know how it feels."

"So did I." said the Roman nurse, stepping forward. "2,000 years with nothing but a box. And it wasn't even blue!"

More fandoms started to come forward… and with each one, Fandom became a bit more humbled.

"You don't think it annoys us when young ones like Gleek brag about having 'survived the hiatus'?" said Addict. "But we don't attack her for it."

Fandom hung her head. "I guess I've been a bit foolish, to assume I've waited the longest. I could have it a lot worse."

"Let Gleek have her special night," said Addict. "You'll have your day soon. And anyways, we can have our own one here while we wait."

"Every night's a party in the waiting room!" said Star Trek.

Fandom smiled a bit. And she didn't stop smiling the whole time, not even when while playing darts she accidently impaled Rory.
