Hello Andi Mack fandom!

I have good news! Since our beloved show is coming to an end I’ve decided to start an event that will help us celebrate all the talent, love, and friendship in this fandom.

It’s a Big Bang! In case any of you don’t know what this is, I’ll put a link to the Wikipedia page here. The main goal is to get this up and running as soon as possible, so that the works will be ready to post on the day of the series finale. Hopefully we’ll go out with a Big Bang. I’m sorry, that truly was awful.

If this event excites you, I have a job for you! Go ahead and follow @andimackbigbang, all of the updates and other lovely things will be posted there.

If there is anyone who has a super-passion for this project and is willing to dedicate some extra time and effort, I’m looking for another mod! Big Bangs have a lot of moving parts, and can be hard to regulate. I’d be happy to do it on my own if no one wants to take it on, but I’d love to have a partner or two helping me out.

This fandom is amongst the most talented and passionate I’ve ever seen, and I think this would be an amazing way to showcase that.

If you don’t want to join, please reblog and share with your friends!

Thanks,

TJ was almost ready to walk out the doors, jump in the back of his sisters car, and head to the pride parade. 

Of course it would take hours to get there, since it was pretty far, but both boys, along with Amber and her girlfriend, were completely fine with the road trip. But as Andi perfected her pan pride flag in the mirror, and Marty pulled on his trans bracelet, everyone’s phones went off with a tornado warning. 

“Ugh! We have to still go.” Buffy complained as she sat down on the couch, looking out at the rainy sky. “We can’t, it isn’t safe.” Amber sighed, pulling off her lesbian themed headband, that Andi made her. 

Marty, Buffy, Amber, Andi, Cyrus, and TJ had been saving up money for this trip forever. Even if it was one day, the group was ready to sacrifice all that time in a cramped up car in order to hold their pride flags high. 

“I’m sure the warnings will stop soon, Shadyside weather changes fast.” Andi assured.

Yet, within an hour, the warnings turned into tornado watch. And for hours, they were forced to stay within the Kippen residence. It soon turned into a sleepover. 

“This sucks!” Cyrus pouted, pulling a blanket over him. TJ sat next to him, pulling part of the blanket over him and wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. “I know. But at least we all got to hangout, right? And we have the whole month. I’m sure we can organize another pride event somewhere around Shadyside.” TJ tried to be happy. 

“Yeah, we can keep saving up money, and go to something better.” Marty said. 

So, with that, the group tried to find more and more events. Within a week, Andi managed to find a pride themed concert, and the group came together to afford tickets. 

“Finally!” Cyrus said. TJ smiled at his boyfriend. “We found another event in a week, what do you mean, finally?” 

“I know it seems stupid, but I’ve been wanting to show my pride in a bigger way. And now that all my friends are out as well, and I have a boyfriend….I just have been looking forward to doing something like this.” 

“It’s not stupid,” TJ took his hand in his,”I was excited for the parade too. But the concert will be just as fun.” Cyrus smiled, standing on his toes to kiss the taller boy. 

“You gonna sleep over tonight? Amber wanted us to sleepover so that we could leave early in the morning.”

Cyrus nodded. “I’ll just get a few outfits from my house, and my pride stuff.” he smiled. 

--

All five kids, leaving out Amber, were at the Kippen household.

They had a movie playing. “What’s taking my girlfriend so long?” Andi complained, looking back to the door. “She is finishing her shift, I’m sure.” TJ said. 

Just then, as if on cue, the boy got a call from his sister. 

“Yes, Amber?” 

“I hate to say this, but my car broke down. I don’t know what happened, but I went into work, and when I tried to start my car, it wouldn’t start.” 

“Is it the gas?” 

“Nope, I filled it this morning. And I don’t know what it is.”

“We don’t have another ride!” 

“I know, I know.” 

Everyone looked up at TJ, trying to listen to what Amber was saying. “I called the shop, I called mom, and she said she’ll cover the cost of the car. But they will be towing my car, so I’ll walk home.”

TJ sighed, “Okay, see you soon.”

When he hung up the phone, everyone looked at him expectantly. “Our ride broke down.” 

“There’s nothing close enough to us to walk!” Marty cried, throwing his head back dramatically. “Stop being dramatic, Marty.” Buffy took his hand, laying her head on his shoulder. 

The whole group was upset by then, and June was almost over. After that, it would be pretty much impossible to find anything even near where they were in Shadyside. 

--

Cyrus stayed an extra night at TJ’s, laying and cuddling up next to them. “What’s wrong?”

“Still just the whole pride thing.” 

TJ nodded. “We’ve been planning it since forever.”

“And now it’s like, saving all our money since January, and going out to buy pride makeup and clothes, was for nothing.” Cyrus shook his head. 

“Well, now we have an unlimited amount of rainbow eyeshadow and makeup, if we were to ever need it.” TJ said, trying to get the boy to laugh, barely managing to get a slight smile out of him. 

“It’s like, the world is against my pride.” Cyrus said. “The world isn’t against you, Cyrus.” 

“It feels like it.” he pouted. TJ smiled. 

“We’ll figure something out before June ends, babe.” TJ assured. “Now, get some sleep? It’s late.” 

Cyrus nodded sleepily, cuddling father into his boyfriend’s arms.

--

As the next week went on, and the end of pride month came near, Andi couldn’t help but point out to her girlfriend how upset Cyrus was. Out of everyone, he was the most impacted by the fact that he couldn’t show his pride. 

“I don’t really know what we can do about it. I guess we can just put away money and hope to do something fun next year.” Amber shrugged. She stood behind the counter with her uniform on, Andi sitting on the stool. 

“We can surely do something.” Andi said. “I’m sure we can do something pride related before the month ends, but there isn’t any big events happening any time soon.” 

“How about we organize our own?” Andi almost jumped at Buffy’s voice, watching as the girl sat next to her. “What?”

“Oh come on, you guys aren’t the only sad ones. Have you seen Marty? He has like tons of trans stuff and he doesn’t know if he can even wear it in Shadyside.” 

“We can’t organize a pride party, or whatever. Anywhere we go, someone homophobic will show up.” Andi rolled her eyes. 

“What about the Spoon?” Buffy motioned around her. “What about it?”

“You have access to the Spoon after hours. No one would be here unless invited, and we could clean up.” Buffy offered. “I could organize a playlist, invite people from the queer group at school. It would be a safe spot, until we closed up.” Andi nodded, pulling out her phone. 

“I don’t know guys….” Amber said. “Please?” Andi pouted. 

“I’ll talk to my boss. Don’t tell the boys unless I get permission. Don’t wanna get their hopes up again.” 

The other girls nodded as Amber was called back to work from her lunch break. 

--

“So?” Andi and Buffy waited outside of the Spoon at the end of her shift. “My boss said yes...but only because I offered to take a few extra hours and the cleanup job until the end of the week. And he said that if it was a mess, at all, I’m fired.” Amber said. 

“I’ll call the guys.” Buffy said. “I’ll get the playlist together.” Andi nodded. The three girls parted ways to do their jobs. 

Amber, being the popular girl she is, managed to contact the Queer Kidz Club, which the group was in. After getting the small group to agree to go, and bring pride stuff and food, Amber started getting ready herself.

Andi searched for her speakers, and organized the playlist, and made some cookies. Buffy got the boys, and they gathered all of their flags and makeup. 

By the time the Spoon was closed to customers, they were all set to the perfect party.

--

“Are you excited?” TJ asked Cyrus, finishing the rainbow flag on his cheek. Cyrus nodded. “At least this one can’t be messed up by a car breaking down.” 

“The Queer Kidz Club will be there, so it’s not just us. Katy is bringing those rainbow iced cupcakes she brought to the last meeting we had.” 

“Our job is to bring the pride flags and stuff to help decorate.” Cyrus nodded. 

TJ handed him the eyeshadows and lipsticks needed to make the pride flag. “Your turn to do me.” 

Cyrus was dressed in a black shirt that had striped to make a rainbow, along with the rainbow beaded bracelet on his wrist. TJ wore a white shirt that matched Cyrus’s. 

They walked, hand in hand, to the Spoon. 

“We’re here, we’re queer, and we have the pride flags right here!” TJ pushed the door open, setting the boxes dramatically at the booth closest to the door. 

Cyrus rolled his eyes at this, but pulled a few flags out and got to work on hanging them up on the walls. 

Andi connected her computer to her bluetooth speakers behind the counter. “Where did you even get these?” TJ asked his sister, who was hanging up the rainbow disco lights on the ceiling. 

“High schoolers throw parties a lot. Borrowed them from a friend.” she responded. 

Within an hour, they had a fun party going. 

So while Cyrus, along with the rest of the group, thought that somehow, the universe was against their pride, they still had fun during the month of June. 

The party went on pretty late, and even if it was a small diner, they somehow managed to fit the whole club in there. 

They may not have gone to the pride parade, or even the concert, but they still showed their pride. 

In a more creative, and different way.

Summary:

TJ and Cyrus discover they work better whenever they're together-but how will they deal with their new feelings for each other? "Cyrus, I'm gay." "Is there anything you want to tell me?" You could sense the electricity and tension in the air; it was tangible in every heavy breath, palable in every subtle movement, prevalent in every gleam of light. "Is there anyway tonight could possibly get any better?" "I can think of one thing."

The air passing through the open windows smelt like salt and fish as the group of teenagers drove down the highway. Cyrus, Jonah, and Buffy were squished into the back seat along with bags and clothing. Amber insisted on taking the passenger seat alongside her girlfriend. Cyrus watched out the window as boats passed beneath the bridge. The sun shone on him, illuminating his face as he rested on his hand. The group was traveling down to Marty’s beach house for his brother’s graduation party. Jonah had been asleep for ages while Buffy scrolled through Instagram. “Cy, you good?” Andi asked looking through her mirror. Cyrus looked up at her and Buffy and Amber both turned to look at him. “Yea. I’m just thinking.” “Okay,” Andi answered flashing him a look once again through the mirror. Cyrus hesitated for a moment. “Why isn’t TJ coming with us?” he blurted. Amber turned to look at Cyrus. She had a wide smile on her face as she said, “Marty invited him to come down a few days early. Plus,” she looked around, “I don’t think we would have room here.” Cyrus smiled, “Yea I guess that’s true.” Buffy flashed Amber a knowing look which made her smile widen. The group was again quiet as they resumed their prior actions. Amber and Andi were the only ones talking but their conversation was inaudible over the sounds of the outside world. Andi’s playlist played as they drove down the highway, it consisted of songs by LANY and Valley and everything in between. It was like they were in some teen romance movie and they were part of a montage with music over it. “Andi,” Buffy complained, “When will we be there?” “We are getting off the highway here and then he said that he is the 6th street in on the beachside,” Andi explained. “Don’t worry Buffy, you’ll get to see your man soon,” Cyrus joked earning him a threatening glance from Buffy. “Can someone wake Jonah up before we get there?” Andi asked without looking back at Cyrus and Buffy. Amber looked back at him and then up at Andi who was focused on the person in front of her making her more and more frustrated. And to think she loved Jonah. She didn’t love him, she loved the girl sitting next to her, who was trying to remain calm as the person in front of her drove as slow as possible. Both Buffy and Cyrus poked Jonah on the sides. His head was resting on the top of his seat so he was facing the ceiling. “Jonah,” Buffy said as she shoved him lightly, “Dude, get up. We’re almost there.” “Jonah,” Cyrus laughed poking him in the arm. “What? What’s happening?” Jonah asked as he once again woke up. “We’re almost there,” Cyrus said motioning to the front of the car. “Oh,” Jonah went back to his previous position and closed his eyes.

“Oh no you don’t,” Buffy said lifting his head back up resulting in laughter from everyone else in the car. “I think this is it,” Andi pulled up next to the house and parked the car. “I think so,” Cyrus confirmed when he saw TJ standing on the porch. Andi turned the car off as they all filed out. Everyone grabbed their things as Marty and TJ came to join them by the car. “Hey, guys!” Both boys greeted as they reached the group. Marty walked over to Buffy and immediately took half of her load. TJ walked up after Marty and walked over to Cyrus first, pulling him into a bro-hug that lingered a little longer than usual. Small acts like that made Cyrus think that maybe, just maybe, TJ might like him the same way that he liked TJ. “The party starts at 5 right, Marty?” Amber asked as she hugged her younger brother. “Yes, so we have plenty of time to go to the beach beforehand,” Marty explained excitedly, “I’ll show you all where to put your stuff and then we can get changed and go.” TJ and Cyrus walked side by side as they made their way towards the house. Both boys were oblivious to their liking of one another. As they fell into step their shoulders bumped every few seconds, but neither one seemed to care if they even noticed. Each one thought about how oblivious the other was to the feelings they kept buried deep inside of them not realizing that they themselves were just as oblivious. TJ held the door open for Cyrus making the rest of the group silently aw. “This is the room where we will stay,” Marty opened the door. The room was bigger than the average bedroom. Three sets of bunk beds lined the wall opposite the door and a pull-out couch sat across from the window. The coach did not currently look like a couch which made it clear that one of the boys had slept there that past night. “You guys can take the bunk beds because I’m gonna sleep on the couch again,” Marty added. “Cyrus, you can sleep here,” TJ said as he walked over the bunk beds closest to the window. Cyrus found the top bunk unmade and began to place his things on the bottom bunk. The rest of the group chose their beds and began to unpack. “The bathroom is over there,” Marty nodded to the open door next to the couch. The group began to change one by one before leaving to go to the beach. “Are we ready?” Buffy asked glancing around at the group as they stood outside the house. “So we only have 4 passes and there are 7 of us. So, who here can pass as 12?” Marty asked laughing slightly. “Cyrus,” the whole group said in unison. “Thank you?” Cyrus said confused. “Marty! Honey, I found 4 more passes in the beach bag,” Marty’s mom yelled out the front door. She handed three to him and everyone took one.

When the group got settled on the beach everyone began to race to the water. Cyrus hung back standing awkwardly in the center of the chairs. “You coming?” TJ asked. The necklace Cyrus wore caught his eye. He ignored it and looked up at Cyrus’s face. “I like the view from here. I’ll watch you guys,” Cyrus lied. “Cyrus, that’s not it,” TJ said knowing something was off. “Okay fine,” Cyrus hesitated, “I’m afraid of the ocean. I love the beach though! Just not the water.” “Do you want me to stay here with you?” “No, I want you to have fun!” Cyrus answered. “Will you come with me? I promise I won't let anything happen to you!” TJ bargained. Cyrus looked down at his feet as he contemplated TJ’s words, “Promise?” “Promise.” TJ took Cyrus’s hand as he led the way to the water, causing both of their stomachs to erupt in butterflies. As the group splashed around in the water, Cyrus never got too far away from TJ. If Cyrus ever seemed to panic, TJ would pull him close. Soon Cyrus wasn’t afraid to leave TJ’s side. “Cyrus!” TJ yelled frantically. Cyrus turned around as a huge wave came right towards them. The rest of the group swam towards the wave knowing it would break over them if they stayed where they were. TJ watched as panic covered Cyrus’s face. TJ swam as fast as he could to where Cyrus stood but it was too late. Both of them were swallowed by the wave, pulling them back to the shore. When the wave released them, Cyrus was laying on top of TJ whose back was in the sand. Both boys went to talk at once and Cyrus rolled off of TJ landing in the sand next to him. “Are you okay?” TJ asked concerned. “Yea,” Cyrus took a deep breath. They looked up to find the group watching them as they sat in the wet sand. TJ stood up and offered Cyrus a hand. Neither one of them let go which made Cyrus’s heart stop. They walked hand in hand back towards the water. TJ couldn’t stop thinking about the necklace Cyrus wore around his neck. He knew exactly what it was and he knew other people knew too because everyone had one. Every single person got one at birth and kept it until the day they died. TJ knew he had one somewhere. I need to wear it later, he thought to himself. “I’m cold,” Cyrus noted with a shiver. “Let’s go dry off then,” TJ added as he turned to face the shore. Cyrus followed behind TJ as they made their way to their things. He picked up his phone checking the time and found that it was 3:30. He looked up at TJ and found that he was already looking at Cyrus. Their eyes met and Cyrus’s stomach did a flip.

“It’s 3:30,” Cyrus managed to say. “We should probably go them then since we all need to shower and the girls need to get ready,” TJ said. Cyrus just then noticed the little amount of space between them, TJ was no more than a foot away from him. “Yea, we should,” Cyrus said voice small. Except, neither one of them moved. They stood there looking into each other's eyes until finally, TJ broke the staring contest that was beginning and lead the way to the water. The teenagers emerged from the water and began to collect their belongings before leaving the beach. Cyrus smoothed out the wrinkles in his t-shirt as he looked over his outfit. He wore a blue polo shirt untucked with a pair of khaki pants. He could hear the sounds of the party from outside the bathroom. He touched the chain that hung around his neck, straightening the charm that hung from it. The silver sun that hung there was warm to the touch but not hot by any means. Cyrus checked his hair one more time before placing a hand on the doorknob. As he opened the door he jumped at the sight of TJ standing there, hand out ready to turn the handle. “Oh sorry,” Cyrus laughed as he stepped out into the hallway. The loud music made his words almost inaudible. “It's all good!” TJ had to yell in order to be heard. Cyrus suddenly felt his necklace heat up. It was way warmer than before which made his stomach do somersaults. He decided to find Andi or Buffy in the mess of people. He slowly walked up the stairs and emerged into the living area. People were everywhere. Most of them were college-aged but some adults who looked to be in their forties and fifties. His eyes scanned the room for his friends. He found Andi and Amber dancing in the corner of the room and Jonah wasn’t too far away from them. Buffy and Marty were nowhere to be seen but Cyrus thought three friends were better than none. Cyrus, Andi, and Amber danced to the old songs that played through the speakers along with the new ones. But, Cyrus couldn’t get the thought of the necklace out of his head. Every once in a while it would heat up and then cool down, but it never went to room temperature. As Cyrus was dancing with his friends the necklace got exceptionally hot. He didn’t look around the room to see who was near him. All he did was take Andi's hand and lead her to the bunk room. He motioned for Buffy to follow and she didn’t hesitate. Cyrus unclasped the necklace and let it slip through his fingers and land on the bed. “Cyrus, what’s wrong?” Andi asked. She sat down next to the necklace and he did the same. He took in a deep breath, “It’s hot.” Buffy’s eyes widened as she realized what that meant. She seemed surprised but then she smiled, “Cyrus, that’s a good thing.”

“I know,” he hesitated, “It’s just...I want it to be TJ so badly and I’m scared that it’s not. Why now of all places would it start to be warm but all the other times I’m with him it’s just...I don’t know...normal?” “Cyrus, I don’t think he wears his very often. TJ doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who would be hung up on that kind of stuff. I mean it would make sense if he doesn’t wear it because it needs to be clasped to work,” Andi explained. “I think you need to go find out who it is right now,” Buffy said pulling Cyrus up from the bed. “Cyrus, I wish my soulmate was here. But yours is, so go find him,” Andi added. “What about Amber?” Cyrus asked turning around to face her. “Cyrus, I’m not here to talk about what I do with my necklace. Go find your man please. Cause clearly they feel it getting hot too,” Andi lightly shoved Cyrus toward the door. “Wait, what if it’s a girl?” Cyrus added in a disgusted tone. “Cyrus!” Andi and Buffy yelled at the same time. “Okay, okay,” he laughed.Taking a deep breath, Cyrus opened the door and stepped out of the bedroom. Finding his soulmate was not an easy task for Cyrus. He pushed through people in every direction and searched every ounce of occupied property in hopes of finding TJ. Nothing. He walked out to the balcony in defeat. Marty’s house was a big size and Cyrus barely knew where every door lead but the balcony had been mistakenly found that afternoon when he went to watch the sunset with TJ. TJ took Cyrus’s hand and lead him to a room that he did not know existed. Cyrus followed as TJ took him through the living room and the kitchen. He followed up the steps and into the guest bedroom. Cyrus furrowed his eyebrows as he entered the room. TJ let go of his hand and pushed open the glass door on the opposite wall. Cyrus’s face lit up when he saw the oranges and pinks that painted the sky. He followed TJ once again in awe over the shades the sky had created. Cyrus stepped close to TJ. His heart beat quickly the whole trip up to the balcony and it wasn’t slowing now. TJ wrapped an arm around Cyrus as they stood and watched the sunset. “Why’d you do this?” Cyrus looked at TJ. “I know you like this kind of stuf ,” TJ said, a soft smile on his face. The sun was almost gone when the door opened behind them. Marty stood there with his arms crossed in front of his chest, a smile on his face. “Hey, sorry. My mom wanted you all to come downstairs for a picture and I thought I saw you two come up here. I’m sorry for making you leave,” he said looking between the two who still stood close together. When Cyrus walked through the glass door this time TJ was already standing there. His heart skipped a beat when the boy turned around to face him. His stomach did somersaults when he realized his necklace wasn’t there. His hand made his way to his chest and his heart sank.

Cyrus watched as TJ placed his hand on his necklace and his face vividly fell. Wait, Cyrus thought, he never had that on before. He put it on because he saw mine. Oh no. “TJ...I,” Cyrus started, “I...I’ll be right back.” Cyrus opened the door and ran down the steps as fast as he could. His heart beat quickly and his head was spinning. Please don’t hate me TJ Kippen because I probably love you, Cyrus thought. He pushed his way through the crowds rarely stopping to say excuse me. When he reached the bunk room his eyes scanned over the beds. His heart was beating out of his chest until finally he saw it. He let out a shaky breath and clasped the necklace around his neck. He was breathing heavily as he reached the guest room. Praying that TJ was there when he opened the door, he took a deep breath. His stomach did a flip when the boy was still standing there. This time both necklaces were hot like fire as they stepped closer. TJ’s longing face turned into a smile. “It’s you,” Cyrus smiled. “And it’s you,” TJ answered with a small laugh. “TJ, I...I like you,” Cyrus stomach did a somersault. “I like you too,” TJ whispered. “I mean clearly-” Cyrus started. “Yea,” TJ answered knowingly. TJ pulled Cyrus into a hug. They stayed there for a few long moments. Cyrus nuzzled his head into TJ’s chest and TJ rested his chin on Cyrus’s head. “TJ?” Cyrus’s voice was small. “Yes?” TJ said, pulling Cyrus into a side hug. “I’m scared. What if we don’t end up being soulmates,” Cyrus worried. “The necklaces don’t lie,” TJ laughed slightly. He held him tight as they looked at the sky. “You’re right,” Cyrus said. He couldn’t hold back his smile. “I know,” TJ joked. “The sky is gorgeous,” Cyrus pointed out. “You always think the sky is pretty, even when the darkest clouds are in the way,” TJ said. “I guess so. But I guess it’s like life. It’s always pretty even when it’s storming,” Cyrus remarked. “You’re cute you know that?” TJ said pulling him in closer, if that was even possible. Cyrus let out a content sigh. “The sky really is pretty though,” Cyrus repeated. “Yea? Well I’ve seen prettier.” “You have not,” Cyrus protested. “Well what if I said that ‘prettier’ was standing right next to me?”

“You’re so annoying!” Cyrus playfully hit TJ on the arm, knowing well his face was a deep shade of red. He turned to face TJ. They were basically on top of each other, and neither one of them had a care in the world. Cyrus smiled connecting their lips. He could feel TJ’s smile as their lips collided. TJ tasted like mint and smelt like cologne. Cyrus melted into him as they stood there on the balcony. I’m marrying this boy one day, Cyrus thought to himself. - Later that night when the party was over, Cyrus and TJ sat together above the sheets of Cyrus’s bed. Cyrus was wearing TJ’s hoodie because it was cold in their room and Cyrus forgot to bring his own. TJ was already wearing a hoodie. A blanket was draped over their legs as the watched High School Musical 3 on Cyrus’s laptop. Cyrus’s head rested on TJ’s shoulder as they watched the movie. Eventually Cyrus drifted off to sleep and TJ did the same. Both boys thought it was perfect. Their friends just admired how perfect the two were from their game of cards on the floor of the bedroom. They are soulmates.
