It had been a few weeks, but WG and Puggsy finally made amends, deciding they both suffered in that second-to-last fluff-drabble. However, they both decided to go on mini-hiatus, having hit a writer's block and lacking inspiration…
…That is, until the whole gang went and saw Big Hero 6, and now the authoress had a fluffy idea every-other thought- not for just this story but EVERY story, even thinking up new ones.
"So are you going to write a story with your own OC?" Moon asked her as they walked through the hallways. "I already did,"
"Probably, though it may take me time to think up a good one, plus I have other stories to finish," WG said. "But I know this: they are SO getting a cameo in Security Authors Season 2!"
"HALLELUJAH!" Fanatic exclaimed, walking with them.
"Speaking of stories, got any fluff-inspiration you and Pugs could use?" ATF asked. "If not, I've got a ton of suggestions-"
"We're good, ATF!" WG sneered. "…sheesh, with all those suggestions, you could probably write your own fluff-drabbles,"
"I know! …but I still got two fluff-drabble stories that I need to update, so it'll be a while,"
"By the way, where IS Puggsy?" Moon asked. "I haven't seen him around lately."
"Probably thinking up clever one-liners for either Security Authors or Shaggy, Pugsy, and Flip. …Or trying to come up with reasons on why we shouldn't make a crossover of both." Fanatic added.
"He didn't succeed when I told him my ideas for a Ni No Kuni crossover," ATF said.
WG looked at her brother, eyes wide. "You told him about that?" she asked.
"No, but I had a vision about it."
"So… anyone want to talk about Big Hero 6 ideas, some more?" Moon asked.
"HECK YES!" The others agreed.

While the authoress and her friends spoke about their hyped-up fan-based ideas, Puggsy was back in his apartment, his laptop out as he looked over the story. While both of them were trying to make a point, he and WG had been re-reading the story for good references on who got it worst… however, after looking over the material, he noticed a few things that he had missed.
'"Tell me! Tell me why you hate me, WG!"
Tears began to form in her eyes. "I don't hate you, alright?! I was just having fun, just trying make everyone laugh but… it's over now! I swear to God, hand on the Bible, I'm done! It's… It's no fun anymore!"'
Weird… Puggsy thought as he re-read the paragraph. If it isn't fun anymore, why does she still bug me? He scrolled down, continuing to read.
'He only glared. "Why should I believe you?! All you've done is torment me! Why would you suddenly stop?! Why don't you just continue giving me hell until you finally kill me off?!"
She stared at him, shocked. "I'd never do that… Not to you… maybe to myself, but not you…"'
He grimaced at that sentence. If the pranks don't get me, the suicide talk does. He shook his head, skipping a few paragraphs. That's when he got to the parts that disturbed him- the parts he couldn't figure out.
'…That's when the horrible thoughts appeared.
She tried to push them away, but they just kept coming- thoughts of The Rake taking her away, thoughts of suicide, all the things Puggsy said to her, things her sister said to her, images of her becoming just like her sister, Puggsy getting possessed by The Rake and… and…'
'And'… what? He wondered, though didn't exactly want to think about it, considering the content the drabble held. What he truly wondered was why WG would include such a thing. He didn't know why, but he felt as if, within the drabble, there was a hidden message the authoress had… But what, exactly? Was she just suffering from nightmares? Some sort of fear she had? In the story she did mention having virginitiphobia… though he didn't have to wonder about that part, remembering an incident with Marlow back in Missing In Fiction 3...
Maybe it was just her way of dealing with it. Puggsy thought. But… why include it here? With me?
That's when he scrolled down to the parts that really confused him… even scared him in a way. They weren't really necessary- they actually just seemed random, like the 'shoulder angel and devil' bit.
'"Some of them were about me, weren't they?"
Gah! How did he figure it out?! She paled, a sweat-drop appearing on her head. "H-Huh?!"
"The… the gory thoughts. Was I part of those?"
She sighed. "No… just me. The only way you were part of them was… was that you… killed me."'
I didn't kill her… he thought, as he looked over the paragraph again, taking her reaction into account. Picturing it, he would have known she was denying something.
'…"Anyone who adored a guy like you would be too smart to like Twilight, Pugs."'
She said that because she hates Twilight… then again, she's not the only one. He thought, trying to push something into the back of his mind.
'…"So, do you know if I have any fan-girls?"'
Why would she think that I would care? He wondered. That was the one part that was the most random, and didn't really seem to fit. Why include the question? Why not just skip it?
'…"Maybe one… Everyone must think she has a weird taste in guys, though."'
And then there's the insult. Puggsy looked over the sentence. But why did she say just 'one'?
He looked over those sentences again and again, trying to make sense of them. In a previous drabble, she had admitted she had a crush on him, and had created her OC, Brielle, to get over it. …But, if she were over it, what was with all these… hints?
Were they hints, at all? Or was it just something to confuse him? She couldn't still be crushing on him, could she? After all, the only reason she would have a long-term crush on a guy was mainly for looks (Shaggy being an example, he once learned), up until she saw someone new, like Fangs, or those guys from the Host Club, or Swaine. …They were either tall and lanky, or anime, or both. Him- he was the wild-card crush she had: short, stocky, bitter at times… why would she still find him interesting? Not to mention, she still had FF2- and he was basically a combination of every attractive fictional character out there- he had the intelligence, heart, humor, and charm any woman would want!
In fact, FF2 was the one who actually introduced WG into a new line of romance, he figured- before he came along, the girl didn't know how to build up any romantic situations in her stories, always rushing them like an old Disney movie. She had her dream-man…
He sighed, shutting off the computer, rubbing his face. Maybe he was thinking into this too much. Maybe the authoress was just messing with him, or trying to shock the readers, or something.
That girl is an enigma… Puggsy thought as he walked out, deciding to catch up with the gang- hopefully Fangs was over his 'Big Hero 6' craze… and God forbid it would be like the Treasure Planet scenario where they would watch the movie a million times and suddenly get sucked in, and God knows how many references ATF wanted to include in the Shaggy, Pugsy, and Flip series.
"Hold on guys, let me get my laptop so we can type the ideas down!" WG's voice called as she came down the hall. She passed by him, giving a short wave before heading into her room. "Hi Pugs,"
"Hi," Puggsy replied, pausing. Perhaps he should ask her… though, would she be honest, or just act like it was a joke? Was it a joke? Or did she just want him to think it was?
He had to know.
He walked into her room, while she was grabbing her computer. "Um, WG, can I talk to you?"
"What about?" she asked, apparently still pumped after the movie.
He shifted, awkwardly. Her back was to him, so she didn't notice. "It's… it's about a drabble,"
"Okay, well, can you tell me about it later? The others and I are talking about Baymax cameos!"
He nodded. Maybe he should wait until things calmed down- by 'things' he meant the authoress' sudden addiction to the large, huggable balloon-like robot. She shot past him, catching up with her friends down the hall, all of them talking at once while she typed away.
He stood there for a moment, then walked back to his room. Someday he would get his answer.
Hopefully it would be clear.
