Ben's Note of Disgust: Trust me, the disgust has nothing to do with you, audience. If you don't know this, I work on other websites along with FanFiction. Anyway, long story short, someone's privacy on a different site was made public. I just have to say this to all the authors and readers that see this: people trust you. Don't go sharing personal information with the world, because quite honestly, it will ruin their life and career. I should know, since I was the victim at one point in time. I just thought I let you know this, because I've never been so sickened in my life.
KCL: Sorry this is so late. I wanted to update again last night, but some things came up and I had to do collateral damage. My personal thing is this. My first FanFiction account (this isn't my first one, by the way) I made in secret. My parents didn't know, but when they found out, they confiscated it. Now you don't have to take this advice, but maybe you should let your parents know that's what you want before you make one. Wouldn't it be better to work on it with no fear than accidently be caught and have it confiscated? Again, this is only a suggestion, but I think you should wait until you feel like you can have one and not get in trouble with your parents.
Rainbow Swirl: I understand. I tend to give over all messages because I know enough about how love can be bad. I try to flip the messages to show my point and how I think things should go. Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it.
Geez, this author's note is long. I just have to say this though. Boys Night Out and Girls Night Out have been swapped. In order for me to do Boys, I need to rewatch a certain webisode. What webisode you ask? Just wait and see. :)
Prompt 57: Girls Night Out
Kitty wasn't used to being with so many girls at once.
After her talk with Maddie and a few brief texts to Alistair, Kitty walked around to find the other girls to invite them for the girls party. They all accepted, including Ashlynn and Cupid. Cupid actually had found Kitty, who was surprised, but none the less told Cupid she was welcome to come.
The location was the issue, but it so happened Maddie had it covered. In Book End, along with her part time job at her father's tea shop, she worked for this little place called the Musty Muffin. It wasn't a big establishment, set up in a bar like style, but only served drinks for those underage and was well known for its muffins.
The owner of the place was Muffin McMan, daughter of the Muffin Man. She had graduated that year and decided to run the Muffin shop in Book End while her older brother ran the one on Dury Lane. Maddie managed to score a table all to themselves since she and Muffin were such good friends.
So, that night, the six girls were sitting in a booth, all giggling and talking amongst themselves. Muffin had taken their order (six blueberry muffins, since Maddie said they were Muffin's specialty) and delivered them to the girls. So far, they had no reason to doubt Maddie, especially when they took their first bite.
"Oh!" Cupid said, taking more and more bites. "This is what love should taste like!"
"Amen!" Ashlynn said. "It's funny though. My shoe store is only down the street, but I've never seen this place before."
"Only those who already know where it is can find it," Maddie giggled. "Movie references. The audience loves them!"
Ashlynn cocked her head. "Movie references?" she asked.
"It's Maddie," Bunny giggled. "She's kind of mad."
"And proud of it!" Maddie declared, making all the girls laugh.
After a few minutes of just eating their muffins, Kitty decided it was time to play a little game. "Hey girls? Why don't we ask each other a question about what we think of our boyfriends? We each answer going in a circle, the one who asked the question going last."
Lizzie raised an eyebrow. "I don't have a boyfriend," Lizzie denied.
"Sure you don't Lizzie," Cupid giggled, rolling her eyes. "You can drop the act. We all know you're in love with Neb."
Lizzie blushed. "Er… fine! I ask the first question or off with your heads!" she demanded. Kitty gestured that it was fine and Lizzie gave a curt nod. "What is the most annoying quality that your before has?"
"Um…" Bunny thought. "Harry… he's kind of easy to anger. It's kind of annoying when he goes straight to being angry."
"I have to say Hunter's kind of over-protective," Ashlynn admitted. "I get that it's in his nature… but he can get out of hand when it comes to protecting maidens."
"Alistair's perfect, I have to say," Kitty giggled. "But… I guess I could say he can be a bit too literal. I mean, we're from Wonderland! Not everything has to have a logical explanation."
Cupid blushed. "Dexter's… a little bit of a coward," she said. "He wants to protect me… but he's kind of pathetic when he does. Just don't tell him that."
Maddie thought hard while blushing. "Um… we aren't dating… but… the guy I like he… he's kind of distracted," Maddie said.
"Aren't you always distracted?" Ashlynn asked.
"Pudding cakes!"
"I rest my case."
"Good to see you're boyfriends are partially human," Lizzie nodded. "Who's next?"
"Um… Lizzie, you didn't answer the question," Bunny pointed out.
Lizzie blushed a deep shade of red. "Oh… if I must," she said. "Although, this one is probably the easiest one to answer. Neb's weird need to suddenly appear in my window."
Kitty burst out laughing. "I remember him doing that on my birthday," she said. "You through a croquet ball at him."
Lizzie smiled. "One of my fondest memories with him, to be honest," Lizzie admitted.
"I'll go next," Bunny asked. "How long have you guys made out?"
Ashlynn went beat red. "Oh boy… two minutes?"
"Two minutes?" Maddie asked in surprise. "Do all make out sessions last that long? Sounds like a truck driver in the hole of Rome!"
Kitty giggled. "No, not everyone goes for that long," Kitty said. "Me and Alistair only kiss for a few seconds at a time. We aren't a kissy kissy kind of couple."
Cupid blushed. "Me and Dexter only peck every so often…" she said.
"I haven't kissed a man in my life!" Maddie said with a giant smile on her face. "Wait… is that something to be proud of?"
"Depends on the boy," Lizzie groaned. "I admit, me and Neb have only kissed twice. Once when we became 'official', and once when I found out he was alive."
Bunny sighed in relief. "Harry and I have only kissed once," she said. "It was brief… but I'm glad it didn't last too long."
"Well, kissing depends on the couple," Ashlynn said. "Me and Hunter have been together a while now, so I just think we're more comfortable around each other. Let's see… out of our boyfriends only, who would you date if you weren't dating the guy you were with already?"
Kitty bit her lip. "Danggit Ashlynn," she said. "Hunter. Not because I like him like that or anything, I swear! But he is kind of my best friend and he did help me when I needed it."
Ashlynn gave her a reassuring smile. "It's ok Kitty. I pretty much guessed that already," she said.
"Um… maybe Sven?" Cupid said. "He doesn't really have a lot of love in his life before Ever After High… I could have possibly shown him some?"
"Stay away from my man!" Maddie giggled playfully. "Nah, it's like a mouse in a river. Alistair. No reason why, no sweat tank in a house boat." Kitty smiled at Maddie knowingly, which Maddie nodded to gratefully.
Lizzie looked around nervously. "Ok… I don't want to date anyone else. Neb… Neb's the only one I will date. Don't tease me, please…"
"We weren't going to," Maddie assured. "Neb's a fun guy. You two are cute together!" Lizzie blushed at the compliment.
"As for me… probably Alistair too," Bunny admitted. "He's my best friend, and I know Kitty understands."
"Yep! Geez… Alistair really is a popular guy," Kitty giggled.
"Dexter's a sweetie," Ashlynn admitted. "I totally ship you and Dexter, Cupid, but Dexter's a good enough guy that I wouldn't mind dating."
Cupid blushed. "It's ok…" she said.
"My turn!" Kitty said. "Sweetest moment you guys have had as a couple!"
Cupid blushed deeper. "When Dexter… wrote me a poem," he said. "He made it seem as though I was the goddess of life… it was so sweet…"
Maddie cocked her head. "I… haven't had a sweet moment with Sven," she admitted. "Sure, I've helped him through a lot of things… and he's a real sweetie when you get past his nervousness… but since we aren't a 'couple', no sweetie date moments."
Lizzie held her tongue from laughing. "Neb? Sweet?" she asked.
"He took a bullet for you," Maddie reminded her.
Lizzie blushed and nodded. "Yes… he was always one too… put me above himself," she said. "His sarcasm's a lot to handle though."
"Probably when Harry had to undergo a bunch of random things happening to him to just get me a carrot," Bunny smiled. "I will never understand how dangerous killer fire breathing monkeys got attached to a carrot."
Ashlynn smiled in memory. "Hunter's always sweet," she said. "There's no moment that exceeds the others."
Kitty nodded and seemed to think about something intently. After a moment, she sighed. "You guys were going to find this out later anyway," she said. "The sweetest moment to me, as of now… was when Alistair and I… talked about getting married…"
Everyone except Maddie gasped. Maddie just smirked. "Really? You guys didn't see this coming? I saw it coming from a mile away!"
"Because Neb told you," Kitty pointed out.
"Neb's a third party. He can do whatever he wants…"
"…and get away with it," said everyone else sans Lizzie.
"He says that to you guys too?" Lizzie groaned.
Bunny giggled. "You know you love him," she pointed out.
"Sometimes I question my feelings. Trust me, I really do."
"No, you really don't," Neb said, walking past the table. The girls watched him pass and they all blinked.
"How did he know we were even here?" Cupid asked.
"Oh, he works here," Maddie said.
There was a silence. "And you neglected to tell us this when we came?" Lizzie asked.
"You guys didn't ask. Where else do you think he pops off to?"
Maybe the author world?
"Neb, now you're just showing off!"
"Um… moving un from that," Cupid asked, "If we, like Kitty and Alistair, have plans to get married in the future, how many kids would you want to have?"
"As many as the amount of people in Ever After!" Maddie giggled. Everyone looked at her crazily. "What?"
"Um… three," Lizzie said.
"Why two?" Ashlynn asked.
Lizzie blushed. "Ok, don't tease me," she said. "But I want one to look a lot like me, the other to look a lot like my husband… and one to look half and half."
"Ooo! Little Neb running around!" Maddie said excitedly.
"I never said I was marrying Neb!" Lizzie denied.
"Did you need to?" Kitty said. Lizzie pouted and turned her face away from her.
"Knowing us… too many to count," Bunny blushed. "We are both rabbits in a sense. We have a lot of kids…"
"Maybe one," Ashlynn decided.
"…One," Kitty said after a moment.
"Two," Cupid said. "Because, great things come in pairs."
"I thought those were muffins?" Maddie said.
Ashlynn looked over at Maddie. "Why just muffins?"
"Because muffins!" Maddie said. "Oh, oh, oh, my turn! Um… oh! So… since I'm not really dating Sven… tell me this. What do you admire most about your boyfriend? And switch it up and go the opposite way!"
Cupid blushed. "Why am I first?" she mumbled to herself. "What I love about Dexter… is that he's intelligent and knows how to help me, even if he isn't always able to fix everything himself."
"Alistair… he's always wanting to know more," Kitty said. "I love him for that natural curiosity. I am part cat, after all."
"Hunter's… dreamy," Ashlynn swooned.
Bunny thought about the question for a moment. "Harry doesn't try to let his past effect our relationship. I admire him for trying to keep the two parts of his life from colliding," she said.
Lizzie shook her head furiously when it got to her. "Not answering it," she said.
"Come on Lizzie, we all did," Cupid said.
"Besides, if you don't say it, I'll find out later!" Maddie said, wiggling her eyebrows. Lizzie groaned and her head fell into her hands. She wasn't going to get out of this, was she?
"Neb's… mph hmph gmph mrph," she muttered.
"Sorry, didn't here that," Kitty chided.
"Neb's… mph jph frm phm," she mumbled.
"Can't hear you!" Maddie sang.
"Neb's good at making me smile and laugh! Ok?" Lizzie said. "I hate admitting it because I'm supposed to be firm, not… goofy. I have a future kingdom to rule. I don't have time to smile and laugh."
For some reason, after Lizzie had said this, Maddie slipped out of the booth. Lizzie turned and found Neb slide in and kiss her briefly. Lizzie's eyes widened in shock and the other girls made 'aw!' sounds. When they parted, Neb smiled.
"You always have time to smile," he said to her. Neb exited the booth and Maddie returned to her spot. Neb tossed Maddie a blueberry muffin. "Thanks."
Once Neb was gone, Lizzie shot a look at Maddie, who shrugged and giggled. "What's wrong with that? Now you can say you two have kissed three times!" Maddie said. The rest of the group laughed, and after a few seconds of embarrassment, Lizzie joined in.
Kitty smiled after they had all finished. Maddie had been restored, at least a little. Maybe, if Alistair had done a good job, she and Sven would be a couple sooner than she thought.
BN: Geez, this is by far the longest chapter ever. Seriously, highest word count yet. Took me over an hour to write this one. I have a secret I have to confess to all of you. Super, top secret secret no one can ever know! *leans in really close* I'm not a girl. *returns to normal sitting position* You see, it was hard for me to write this one because I don't really know how girls act without guys around. Sure, I wagered a guess and had these six talk about boys, but I'm sorry if this was completely inaccurate. Sorry if this one was a bit confusing and some of the girls were out of character. I just wanted to get familiar with these characters since, sooner or later, they'll all get their own story in the Benverse, which you can see in my profile.
I should also mention the Musty Muffin. For the next story I'm planning to work, I needed a bar type location. The Musty Muffin isn't a bar, but if I reference it, I'm calling it a bar. Also, Muffin is an OC and all credit goes to me.
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
