Hello, all! Wait, have I said that before? Eh. Whatever. I kept forgetting to mention this, but WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UNLOCKED does anyone else feel like they're kinda being set up to ship Kevlar (Keefe/Alvar but also a puncture proof material)? Now, today, thanks to Lena from crystalcave2, the react is Tiana/Dexiana! Yay! Warning: I'm heavily biased towards Tiana. I'm sorry if this chapter is not satisfactory.
crystalcave2: Wait, you're one of those people who wrote The Apocalypse, right? That story's so funny! Please update! Oh, also, in response to your review: Thank you! Yeah, I am taking requests. Hope you like it!
Sophie: *sees me* *remembers last time* *tries to run away*
Me: Nope! *blocks her with my awesome magic author powers* I'm not going to ship you and Keefe today (as far as you know). No reason to worry.
Alden: Hey!
Me: As far as I know you haven't copyrighted it!
Alden: *whispering* Yet…
Me: Today Tam, Dex, and Biana are suffering.
Keefe: *also previously tried to escape* *pretends it never happened* *looks around* Is that why they're not here?
Dex: I'm here! HELP M- *disappears into void*
Me: I left them in their own separate voids. Very fragile voids. If you see them escape and put them back in their voids I'll give you mallowmelt.
Fitz: YOU THINK WE CAN SO EASILY BE TURNED AGAINST OUR FRIENDS? THAT WE WILL SHOW NO MERCY, NO HINT OF EMOTION AS WE BETRAY THEM TO YOU? I WILL NOT BE BOUGHT!
Me: I wasn't going to give you mallowmelt anyway, Fitz.
Fitz: Awww…
Linh: Is my brother going to be alright?
Me: He signed the contract. Which I cleverly disguised as an apple!
Marella: That literally makes no sense.
Me: Sense matters not in this dimension! And I was hungry. Oh, other elves, Marella is permanently here now. She's too awesome to be ignored. Now lets shush and see what happens when we put Tam, Biana, and Dex alone together.
Everyone: *has popcorn and 3-D glasses* *watches huge screen with picture of room with Biana, Tam, and Dex*
Tiana, Not The Disney Princess: The Movie
Biana: I can't say this has ever happened to me.
Dex: I have to be alone with Tam? Yay.
Tam: We're not alone. We have Biana too!
Biana: Aw, thanks Tam!
Dex: No, I meant that too! I just… have a problem with Tam.
Biana: Tam? How could you have a problem with him?
Dex: *thinking, in subtitles: Because part of me knows that with him around I'll never be good enough for you.* *out loud* He … always acts like he's too good for everyone else.
Tam: Hey, I can't help it! Try growing up with two parents who are ashamed of you, and a world who doesn't accept you!
Dex: I have! Well, the world part.
Fast forward about 2 hours of comparing awful lives because that would be hard to write.
Biana: Ok, both of you had awful lives! Please stop.
Tam & Dex: Yes, ma'am.
Biana: Ha.
Dex: Sorry.
Biana: Eh, I wasn't really that offended. Quick question, anyone else also wondering what's going on and why we're here?
Dex: I didn't really mind … because you're here too.
Biana: *blushing* *like, a lot* Th-thanks.
Tam: *mentally working up the courage to say what he's about to say before he loses his chance because he's pretty sure Biana's falling for Dex and he wants her to know he'll always be there for her no matter what* Biana … I … I really like you. And I don't think that'll change. Ever. I just thought you… needed to know. *turns away*
Biana: *deep breath* I feel the same way.
Me: *magically teleports Dex away*
A spotlight shines on Tam and Biana, erasing everything else in the world as they draw closer, closer, closer, until… the kiss. To Biana, it feels like everything, the most true fact she's ever heard, that this boy - this one amazing boy - will always be with her and that's how it's supposed to be. To Tam, it feels like nothing else in the world will make him feel the same as he does now. This secure feeling that everything will be alright as long as Biana is with him. The screen goes dark.
Dexiana: The Sequel to 'Tiana, Not The Disney Princess' Where You Pretend The First Movie Never Happened: The Movie
Biana: I can't say this has ever happened to me.
Tam: At least they didn't leave us somewhere less hospitable.
Biana: And at least we have each other.
Tam: Uh… yeah… right.
Biana: *looks away quickly* I'll go … see what's over there.
Tam: No, I'm sorry. I just thought you meant something else than you probably did.
Biana: *hesitates* Tam… you're one of my best friends. Can I tell you anything?
Tam: Not sure I'll like where this is going, but yes. You're one of the nicer elves I've met. Before I met all of you, I thought the only good person in the world was my sister.
Biana: Well, now you see. We're not all bad. *looks off to the right* Tam… at first I also thought you were kind of scary.
Tam: *sarcastically* It's so awesome to have someone talk to you about your bad people skills.
Biana: That's not what I'm saying. It's just you were so with-drawn and imposing. I gradually started to realize that you were a different, sweeter person on the inside. I gradually started to realize… that I like you, Tam.
Tam: *face is shocked for exactly 3.1415 seconds then is blank* Biana… you're awesome… but I'm not interested in dating anyone. I just… need to be alone. That's how I work.
Biana: *fake laugh* You're right. It was silly!
Tam: Biana-
Biana: *not within hearing distance* *at everglen because why not, she can go wherever she wants, it's not like I control her and these stories are based in the story void*
Dex: *knocks on her door* Hey Biana. I heard about what happened with Tam.
Biana: *muffled, head in hands* Come on in.
Dex: *opens door* I brought you something. *holds out periwinkle box wrapped with deep blue ribbon*
Biana: Why?
Dex: *blushing* W-Well we're friends aren't we?
Biana: I'm sorry, thanks. You know, you're the first person to say or do anything nice to me since what happened with Tam 3 weeks ago. (Yeah, it's been 3 weeks. So what? For all you know time passes 29x faster in the elven world. Or something.) *opens box* *pulls out shiny silver necklace with gems the exact color as Dex's eyes* Oh, it's beautiful. Where'd you get it?
Dex: *still red in the face* I actually made it. My technopath mentor had me making stuff too, and I thought it was really fun. And I thought… who better to give something to than you?
Biana: *blushes* (Thinking: Why are you feeling like this? Come on Biana. You just got over a crush, don't let yourself be crushed again.)
Dex: I just… need you to know that we'll always be friends. I'm here for you. *leaves*
Biana is left feeling confused, delighted, and a little in love. The screen goes dark.
I hope you read that all! I poured my heart into that chapter! Wow, that sounds cheesy. IT'S INFECTED ME! Anyway, next I'm going to do a Linh ship react. I need your help people, Linh x Wylie or Linh x Marella? Thanks for reading and see you next time!
