Happy Pride Month! This month I'll be partaking in the Pride Month Bingo challenge hosted by @queenofbaws, @unicornaffair, and @jadedsunshine.
(Feel free to blacklist #kenziewritespride or #pridemonthchallege2024 if you want to avoid these posts going forward!)
Today I've decided to start off with the prompt that came to me first: There Was Only One Bed! This fic is written about my Total Drama OC, Dannie, and her ex-girlfriend Lola (@horatios-mom's character)! Feel free to check out the @teadocs blog for more info on those two, but other that without further ado, my first fic for this month!
The competition was down to just a few pairs. Charlie and Chad (the married couple), Skylar and Ethan (the siblings), and Dannie and Lola (the exes). And over the span of the last round, Dannie and Lola had been all but at each other’s throats. And by the time they got back to the hotel where they’d been put up for the night, Dannie was exhausted.
All she wanted to do was curl up in her bed and go to sleep and not speak to Lola until the next morning. After all, she’d been on the receiving end of a passive aggressive comment here and there and wasn’t 100% sure what she’d done to deserve most of them.
Lola unlocked their hotel room, “I’m gonna go to the bathroom.”
“Knock yourself out,” Dannie muttered, carrying her bag into the room, but quickly her face dropped when instead of two beds, there was only one.
The sound of the shower running came from the bathroom, and it wasn’t like Dannie was eager to invite Lola along to sort out this rooming situation. So she took a deep breath and went downstairs to the lobby, going to talk to the woman at the front desk.
“Hi, uh, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Me and my friend were supposed to have a room with two beds, but there’s only one. Can we get a different room?”
The woman clicked her tongue, “Sorry, no can do hun. It’s a busy season here. You see, the eclipse is in full totality so we’ve got loads of out of towners. Afraid there’s no more rooms to choose from.”
“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me,” Dannie muttered.
“What’s the name on the booking?” The woman asked.
“Chris Mclean? I think.”
The woman typed it in and nodded, “I see. Three rooms, one bed each.”
“Chris did this? I swear next time I-” she clenched her jaw, “Thank you. I guess.”
“No problem, hun. Have a good night.”
Dannie went back up to their room, only then realizing she had forgotten her room key. She could picture it now, Lola chewing her out for yet another thing. She was definitely going to be banished to sleeping on the floor and that probably meant that she would be even more groggy for tomorrow’s filming. Fuck her.
She knocked on the door. Twice. And then it opened up to Lola standing there in a towel.
“What are you doing? I thought you were in here already?”
“Trying to figure out our room,” she admitted, “There’s only one bed.”
Lola’s face dropped, “Oh.”
“Yeah. But cause of the stupid eclipse, they can’t give us a different room cause there isn’t one.”
“And here I thought that just happened in Mads’ fanfics,” Lola chuckled lightly under her breath.
“Can I come back in?”
Lola nodded, moving out of the way of the door and ducking back into the bathroom as Dannie walked in. She walked to her bag, unzipping and pulling out her go-to pajama shirt. It was an old Five Nights At Freddy’s t-shirt with William Afton on it. The once black fabric was a faded charcoal gray, the vibrant purple on the TV screens behind him somehow in good condition. She slipped off her shirt and unhooked her bra, letting it drop from her arms before pulling the FNAF shirt on.
“That’s a blast from the past,” Lola said, emerging from the shower to spot Dannie pulling it on.
“Huh?”
“Do you remember? You used to wear that shirt all the time when we were dating,” she explained.
“Oh,” Dannie glanced down at it, “Yeah I did.”
“It’s seen better days,” Lola said, setting her bag down on the floor and sitting down on the edge of the bed.
That’s it, she was definitely on the floor.
Dannie took one of the pillows and blankets from the bed and laid it on the floor, and was just about to sit down when Lola piped in, “What are you doing?”
“Th- What do you mean? I’m sleeping on the floor.”
“Why?”
“Because… There's only one bed. I figured you would want it.”
Lola blinked at her for a second, “Oh. I guess I didn’t… realize.”
“Realize what?”
“That we wouldn’t just share it,” Lola shrugged.
Dannie scoffed, shrugging, “I figured you wouldn’t want to.”
Lola was silent for a second, as if she was trying to figure out what Dannie meant by that. Then she sighed, “Oh. Yeah. Um. I’ve been PMSing a lot lately and I guess I didn’t think about the fact I was taking it out on you. I’m sorry.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. But if you want to take the floor that’s fine. I just figured it wouldn’t be the first time we shared a bed. We’re both adults. We’re friends. We can survive one night in a comfortable bed.”
Dannie thought about it for a second. Lola did have a point. They were friends. Had been for years. Just cause the show had labeled them “the exes” didn’t mean they had to be enemies. And the more she thought about it, the more she felt the bed calling to her.
“Okay,” she picked up her pillow and blanket, setting it back on the bed, “Thanks.”
“Yeah,” Lola nodded, getting under the blankets and settling down.
Dannie did the same, taking a deep breath as she sunk into the bed, “Goodnight Lola.”

Today I thought I'd cover one of my favorite tropes: Found Family! This fic is based on a non-canon event in the Total Drama OC universe, but one that I think would be fun had it happened haha. It stars my OC Maggie and her found family (Cole - @hannahwashington's character, and Lola - @horatios-mom's character) along with a few others! Enjoy! And if these characters seem cool to you, do check out the blog we have for our Total Drama OCs: @teadocs!!

December 19th was a complicated day for Maggie. For most of her life it was just another day. No cake or candles, no balloons or presents. Just going through the motions, just another year older somehow.
When she moved to Vancouver, she wasn’t expecting the day to hold any more significance. Her first birthday living on her own was quickly approaching and all the people in her life seemed to have other things going on so she didn’t think much of it. Just like usual, just another day.
She was scheduled to work at the job that Cole’s dad had secured for her, doing the front desk of a hair salon. So she got ready in her usual work go-to outfit. Professional but casual enough she wasn’t uncomfortable after doing all the menial tasks required by her boss, Sandra.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She looked down at the screen and it was Sandra, asking her to get there a little early. She didn’t have anything else going on so she replied simply: Sure.
Maggie got into her car, turning over the engine. The check engine light came on and she sighed. She’d needed an oil change for a few weeks but was waiting to get her next paycheck before shelling out the money for it.
I get paid next Friday. I’ll be alright until then… I hope, at least.
She drove the quick 15 minute journey to the salon, parking in the back of the building. The place had been open for a few hours but the customer lot seemed busier than usual as she walked around the corner.
The lights were… off? She looked at the hours pasted on the door and they should be open, there were people here, why were the lights off?
She opened the door, the usual bell ringing as it did with all customers coming in. Sometimes she swore she could hear the bell ringing when she wasn’t even at work.
“Hello?”
Silence.
She flicked on the lights.
“SURPRISE!!!” A load of voices called as people jumped up from their hiding spots, scaring the living shit out of Maggie. She jumped back a few inches in shock.
As she looked around, there were all the people who claimed they were busy for her birthday. Cole, Lola, and even her boyfriend Landon.
“What is this?”
“A surprise birthday party, Mags,” Cole explained, “You think we’d let it pass by without celebrating?”
“I-” she stood there stunned for a moment, “I’ve never had a birthday party I didn’t figure I’d start now.”
“Well as your best friends,” Lola said, wrapping her arm around Maggie’s shoulder, “We could not let that last any longer.”
Maggie chuckled softly, still completely surprised as she looked around the room. Even if she wasn’t close to some of the other cast members that lived in the greater Vancouver area, all of them had come to this makeshift party. Dannie, Paige, Cassie, and Esther stood there, the former wearing a party hat with a noisemaker sticking out of her mouth.
“Happy birthday Maggie,” Paige smiled.
Landon came up to her with a grin, “Hope this was a good surprise.”
“Y-yeah. I just wasn’t expecting it.”
“We have cake!” Cassie pointed out, “Do you want some?”
Maggie nodded, walking further into the salon to spot a makeshift table set up with a cake that had 16 candles stuck into it.
“That seems like a fire hazard.”
“It’ll be fiiiiiine,” Landon chuckled, “I think.”
Sandra, who had emerged from the back with a lighter in hand, painstakingly lit all the candles before all the group of people began to sing to her.
“Happy biiiiirthday dear Maggieeeee! Happy birthday to you!”
She closed her eyes, making a wish. A wish that she would always remember this day, when she realized that while she’d had a shitty family back in Delaware, she had people who really loved her in Vancouver. Maggie blew out the candles and opened her eyes, a smile creeping onto her smile as everyone cheered.
Happy Pride! I'm back after a short hiatus from writing (I kinda broke up with my boyfriend so I'm fighting #depression).
ANYWAY! This one was suggested to me by @horatios-mom. A little fanfic about this rumor surrounding one of my OCs, Leaf. In canon it's just a rumor that he harvests organs. In this fic? It's real 😈
Once again if you're interested in the canon (and it's derivatives like this), do go follow our blog, @teadocs :D
(if you want to miss out on these, be sure to blacklist #kenziewritespride)
Leaf had to admit. The thrill of the hunt was almost, almost as much of a rush as he got from the act itself. He had been hiding in plain sight. Shadows and crowds were one thing, but it was moments like this, standing outside of her bedroom window watching her sleep, knowing at any moment she could wake up and see him standing there. It made his heart race with anticipation. Tonight would be the night.
He’d gotten into her house easily, through the screen door which had one of the easiest locks to pick. His footsteps were light, skillfully dodging the squeaky floorboards in the hall he’d discovered while visiting the house a few months prior. He wondered if they knew his well-intentioned visit had sinister plans behind it.
A quiet meow came from the bathroom as he walked past. He gave a gentle nod to the cat as he made his way to the bedroom.
Who sleeps with their bedroom door open?
They were making it too easy for him.
He gently opened the door to the bedroom, pulling his hood over his head. One… two… three steps up to the bed. Quickly pull the chloroform rag from his ziplock bag and press it to her face. Her eyes shot open, terrified. Another rush of adrenaline pumped through his system. Slowly the eyes faded back shut and the body went limp.
He had time now. Rag back into the bag, don’t want to alarm her roommate with the smell. Hood off. To the window, gently open it. Pry her body from the bed, carefully maneuvering it to keep the body intact as it hit the ground below. Broken bones were for the inexperienced.
Shut the window. Pick her up, quickly walk to the golf cart he’d rode over in, laying her across the backseat as he pulled away and sulked back into the woods.
---
“Mmm.”
Leaf turned around to spot her coming out of her coma, strapped to his makeshift operating table. The movies always got this part wrong. It was never sudden, it was gradual, like waking up from a deep sleep.
“Mmm,” she made another noise, tossing her head back and forth.
He walked over, a syringe of ketamine in hand. Just as she blinked her eyes open. He stood beside the table as she searched the room, unable to move from her being strapped down.
Suddenly, her face turned toward him, eyes searching his face, a sense of fear crossing them as it dawned on her what was happening. That’s exactly what he wanted. He wanted her to be scared of him. After all, he was a monster and he knew it.
“Leaf?”
He just smirked, plunging the syringe into her vein, releasing the dosage. Strong enough to numb out all the pain, but not enough to knock her unconscious again. He wanted her to be aware of it all.
She shivered as a cold breeze came through the air, her skin bare from the waist up. Wasn’t planned this way. The last thing he wanted was to feel like a pervert while dissecting her, but this was how it had to be.
Leaf picked up the scalpel, tracing the blade through her flesh. Organ harvesting was never for the weak. You had to know what you were looking for, how to stop the bleeding effectively, there was a level of research that had to go into it.
He could see her watching him, clearly feeling this must’ve all been just a dream she could pinch herself awake from.
“W-why?” She cried pathetically.
Leaf stayed silent, not giving her any explanation for why he was scavenging her abdomen for her kidney. Once found, he quickly removed it and placed it in the cooler before stitching her back up. Just as his phone began to ring.
He glanced at the screen, the name CHLOE lighting up. Perfect timing.
Leaf unstrapped his co-star from the table, carrying her out to Chloe’s car.
“Remember?”
“Like, duh,” Chloe nodded.
He nodded, helping prepare the body to back up the story Chloe would tell the hospital, and ultimately the police.
---
Leaf left the vicinity, going to hide at Camp Wawanakwa for the next 6 months while the manhunt for the person who stole Lola’s kidney went on. With an alibi and Lola’s K-hole delusions not lining up with anything that Chloe had told the police about the night she supposedly went missing, there were no leads and eventually the case went cold.
This prompt partially came to me from @samgiddings for our Total Drama OCs Skylar and Kai (aka Skai) and the prompts: Road Trip / Proposal! Hope you enjoy and for all fun little updates regarding these two, do check out our blog @teadocs hehe.
ALSO! This fic comes with a playlist to go with it :D Check it out here <3

“BABE,” Kai said excitedly, looking down at his phone.
Skylar looked up at him from where he’d been busy curating an Instagram post documenting the trip he and Kai had taken to the Zoboomafoo anniversary experience.
“Noah Kahan is going on tour!” Kai seemed excited as his eyes scanned the dates, and his face dropped, “But he’s not coming to Adelaide.”
“Who is Noah Kahan?” Sky looked at him confused.
Kai’s jaw dropped, “I can’t wait to introduce you to him. You’re gonna love his music.”
“O…kay?”
And sure enough, a few moments later, a twangy guitar came from Kai’s portable speaker, the guy’s vocals singing, “As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined, you must’ve had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive.”
Skylar stopped Kai with a simple hand raised, “Wait. What’s this song called?”
“Stick Season,” Kai responded, confused, “Why? Do you know it?”
“No,” Skylar searched up the lyrics on his phone, “Lyrics. Can’t hear.”
“Do I need to turn it up?”
“Audio processing issues,” he shook his head.
Kai nodded, “Is that why you don’t listen to music that much?”
Skylar shrugged but then waved his hand for Kai to restart the song and let it play once he had Genius lyrics pulled up in front of him.
“And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks. And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed. And it’s half my fault I just like to play the victim. I’ll drink alcohol ‘til my friends come home for Christmas.”
Skylar nodded along as the third chorus came on, finding the song rather catchy.
“Sooooo?”
“I like it,” Skylar smiled softly, “Do you wanna go see the show?”
“It’s in Melbourne… or Brisbane… Or Sydney.”
“And? We could take a little road trip to one of them.”
“Babe, that’s a minimum 8 hour drive to Melbourne.”
Skylar didn’t seem bothered, shrugging, “Then I guess we don’t have to.”
Kai nodded, looking downcast but accepting it wasn’t meant to be this time.
---
SKY: Come outside.
KAI: I’m about to leave for work.
SKY: I called in a favor. You’re off work this weekend.
KAI: What?
SKY: Just come outside. Please.
---
Kai came out from the apartment and spotted Skylar not in his work uniform (despite him supposed to be working too), standing in front of a van.
“Hi love. Get in and get changed,” Skylar opened up the van’s sliding door to reveal it was a converted van and there was a stylish outfit Kai had never seen on a hanger inside the van.
“What are we doing?”
“It’s a surprise. Get changed. Get in the passenger seat. We’re going on a trip.”
“A trip? To where?”
“It’s a surprise. Is that okay?”
Kai chuckled, his face lighting up, “More than okay. Let’s do it.”
Skylar got in the driver's side, plugging his phone to the aux and queueing up a playlist of every song Kai had shown Skylar in the 4 years they’d been dating. He’d been carefully compiling it, not sure why he’d ever need it, but then this impromptu road trip came to mind and it was a perfect time.
The first song that played was a Wallows song, “These Days”. Skylar nodded along to the music as Kai got in the passenger song.
“I need to know if you’re feeling it or I’m wasting my time. Your way or mine?” Kai sang along.
“You ready?”
Kai nodded, beaming, “Take us away, my love.”
---
First stop was Stirling, a meet 20 minutes from Adelaide, the two of them pulling up outside the Aldi.
“Snacks,” Skylar announced as they pulled up.
“I was hoping we weren’t dressing up to go to an Aldi,” Kai joked, getting out of the van and heading inside.
Skylar chuckled, taking Kai’s hand in his as they walked inside, grabbing snacks and drinks for the drive. Skylar let it slip they’d be driving for a while and to stock up on stuff for the ride.
They checked out, heading back to the van and getting in.
Skylar stuck his drink in the cup holder and smiled, starting up the music again. This time, a funky piano with Valley’s vocals came through the speakers, “I always thought I’d meet the one at a record shop or something fun.”
They pulled back onto the freeway and Skylar grinned as Kai looked out the window, shimmying as the chorus hit.
“Love,” Skylar chuckled, “You should probably take videos of this trip. To look back on.”
“Oh? Okay.” Kai took out his phone, recording the road and then the two of them.
“Oh shit, are we in love?” The singer’s voice said and Skylar mouthed the words, leading to a chuckle and a kiss on the cheek from Kai.
“We are,” he reassured the video before turning it off.
---
More song and more driving, seemingly in the middle of nowhere at this point, Kai asked again, “Where is it we’re going?”
“To Melbourne.”
“Why?”
“You’ll see,” Skylar said, keeping his mouth shut, motioning with a simple zip.
“Sky,” Kai chuckled.
Skylar pretended his lips were actually zipped shut and spoke muffledly.
“I love you.”
Sky unzipped his lips to say, “I love you too,” before zipping them again with a chuckle.
Kai got comfortable in his seat and drifted to sleep.
“You feel like city lights, apple pie baked just right. Home is wherever you are tonight.”
Skylar glanced over at him and sighed peacefully. He was reminded of a poetry book of Kai’s he read one time. Most of them were things he never felt so he didn’t understand them. But this one came to him again at this moment. And it finally made sense.
Driving the road in the middle of the night,
Not a car in sight,
My world asleep in the seat beside me.
It’s moments like this that make life worth living.
I take a picture, worth a thousand words I could not write.
Skylar wished he could take a picture of it, but he was okay that it would just exist in his mind forever.
---
The road sign Skylar was following said Melbourne. Kai stirred, rubbing his eyes, “Melbourne? Sky, love, why are we going to Melbourne?”
He shrugged, continuing to drive.
Sure enough, they went into the city, pulling up to The Forum. The sign outside said: “NOAH KAHAN” in big letters.
Kai’s eyes lit up, “WHAT?!”
“Surprise, love.”
“H- wh- Skylar!” Kai reached across the car once they were parked, hugging Skylar tightly.
Sky hugged him back with a grin, kissing his temple, “Is it a good surprise?”
“A great surprise. Thank you.”
“Good.”
---
Noah stood on the stage, introducing the song Everywhere, Everything and Skylar took a deep breath. He’d memorized every song from his discography and done research to find out which songs were played at the concerts every night.
“I wanna love you til we’re food for the worms to eat, til our fingers decompose, keep my hand in yours.”
Skylar took Kai’s hand, squeezing it. As Kai looked over at him, Skylar sank down onto one knee, a nervous smile on his face, “Surprise again?”
Kai gasped, “No way. SKYLAR!”
“Will you marry me?”
Kai’s eyes welled with tears as he nodded, “Yes. YES!”
The people surrounding them cheered as Skylar slid a ring onto Kai’s finger. He stood back up and kissed him happily.
The rest of the concert they were inseparable. And when they returned to Adelaide, everyone at the zoo congratulated them.
You may be thinking: Kenzie, you already got bingo, why are you still going? Cause my brain can't stop. That's why!
So here we are. Another lovely entry about my OC Dannie and her girlfriend Lola (@horatios-mom's character). For the first 6 months of their relationship they were doing long distance, and I decided to spice it up with 5 times they almost said "I love you" and one time they actually did! Hope you enjoy and as always, feel free to check them out on @teadocs as well <3
(Blacklist #kenziewritespride to avoid these in the future)
Dannie was sitting at her laptop editing her Twitch stream to post on YouTube when her phone began to ring. Her ringtone set for her girlfriend Lola was distinctive enough that her eyes widened.
What do you see before it’s over? Blinding flashes-
“Hey babe,” she answered, biting her lip as she felt her face warm up. She’d only been dating Lola for a few weeks and the newness of the relationship still gave her butterflies. She still couldn’t believe she’d shot her shot with her reality TV crush and it had worked!
“What’re you doing right now?” Lola asked, clearly walking from one class to the next.
“Editing a video, my first one back after the season.”
Lola smiled down at the screen as she walked, “That sounds fun. Is it hard to do the editing?”
“Not really. It’s more like a highlight reel so if I suck at a particular game on the stream it doesn’t make it.”
Lola nodded, “You’ll have to show me how it’s done sometime.”
“Can definitely do that, though I’m sure it’s more boring than you expect.”
“Even if it is,” she grinned, “I’d be doing it with you.”
Dannie giggled slightly, “Well when you put it that way…”
“Anyway I’ve gotta go, I made it to the next class. I’ll call you after, okay?”
“Okay, bye. L-”
And just like that Lola disappeared from her screen.
“-ove you,” Dannie blinked, surprised by the words that just came from her mouth. Had she really been about to say she loved Lola? It had been what? A few weeks since the season had wrapped and yeah their relationship had really taken off over the course of the summer but. Was she really ready to say that?
She shrugged it off, figuring it was just a slip of the tongue.
---
Lola had called Dannie when she got home from her classes and the latter of the two was sitting in front of her mirror, the camera propped up to the side as she wiped off her makeup from the day, revealing that her acne was acting up.
Dannie groaned, reaching for her overnight pimple patches, “My skin is so not used to being back home yet. I’m sorry you have to see me like this,” she motioned to the numerous little star pimple patches all over her face.
“Why?”
“Cause I look ugly. I’m blotchy, I’m red. I have fucking star stickers on my face. I-”
“Dannie, don’t say that about yourself. You’re still as beautiful as ever to me,” Lola explained.
“What? You’re acting like you don’t see all of this.”
“I see it. And I still-” she shrugged, looking away from the camera for a moment.
I still love you.
Lola was surprised by the idea of loving Dannie. It was like the idea snuck up on her. But judging by the look on Dannie’s face when she glanced back at the camera she knew she had to finish that sentence.
“I still think you’re beautiful.”
Dannie sighed, a tired look on her face, “Thank you, babe.”
“You’re welcome. Now go to bed,” Lola yawned, “And I’ll talk to you tomorrow. 4 more days til I see you in person again.”
“Are you sure you’re not just saying that so you can go to bed sleepyhead?”
“Mm,” she waved her off with another yawn, “Goodnight Dan.”
“Goodnight Lola.”
-----
Another day, another phone call. This time, Dannie was watching Lola pack for her trip out to Ottawa.
“So what do you think about this bra,” Lola held one up, “Does it say super sexy I wanna take it off or is it a dud?”
“Definitely super sexy, but I think I need to see it on you first,” she smirked.
Lola proceeded to put the bra on over her shirt and other bra, which made Dannie burst into laughter.
“Oh my god. I definitely think that needs to come off.”
“You think so?”
“Uh-huh,” she kept giggling as Lola did a little twirl. She blurted out in a playful platonic manner, “This is why I love you.”
Lola paused, chuckling, “Oh really?”
Dannie realized what she’d said and nodded, “Yeah you know like. You’re so silly bestie,” she clarified.
“Ah…” Lola nodded slowly, as if realizing something.
Dannie nervously chuckled, “So what else are you bringing?”
They went back to Lola packing and eventually hung up and went to bed once more.
----
Lola’s phone rang and rang.
“Come on,” she muttered.
Two faces popped up on her screen, her two best friends: Charlie and Cole.
“Hey Lolapop,” Cole smiled.
“What’s the chaos trio distress call for?”
Lola chewed on her lip, “So there’s a slight possibility I’m like… going to say the L word to Dannie.”
“Woah,” Charlie seemed surprised, “Are you two that serious?”
“I mean, I think we are. I almost said it the other day. I definitely feel it, but I’m not sure she does and this is like… she’s still new to dating and I don’t wanna scare her away by saying it too soon, ya know? Cause I do really like her and this has been going so well and I’m supposed to go see her this weekend and what if I accidentally say ti and she’s not ready and-”
“Lola, you’re rambling,” Cole corrected her, “Which I… I think I’m gonna take as you do L-word her but you’re just nervous.”
“Would it be easier to do it over the phone?” Charlie asked, “Instead of in person? Easier to hang up than to literally run away from her if it goes sideways.”
“Anytime. We’re always here for you,” Charlie grinned, “Now enough about you-”
Cole jokingly groaned, then all three of them laughed.
The rest of the phone call distracted her enough to where she wasn’t panicked about her L-word dilemma with Dannie anymore. Which was a relief in itself.
----
“I’m gonna say it. Hey Lola, by the way, I love you. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Ugh never say that again you dork,” Dannie hyped herself up in the mirror, “I can’t do this.”
There was a subtle knock on her door and her bio dad’s voice came from the other side, “Can I come in?”
“Yeah,” she called back.
“Hey pooks,” he smiled, “How are you doing?”
“I don’t know,” she admitted, “I’ve got a lot on my mind.”
“Wanna take a load off? Watch Scream together maybe?” He offered, “Or you could talk to-.”
“Did you ever tell my mom you loved her?” She blurted out, not even letting him finish his sentence.
“Did I ever tell your mother that I loved her,” he chuckled, “Wow. I mean, Danielle, we were together for less than 3 months. I just-”
“Oh. Right. Of course you di-”
“I did. It was right after she told me she was pregnant, which I think is probably in the record books for the worst time to tell someone that for the first time.”
Dannie winced, “Oof.”
“Oof is definitely right.”
“Did you… mean it?”
“Absolutely. Dannie, I love your mother. Granted, as time went on the way I loved her changed. But I still love her.”
“How did you know you wanted to say it?”
“I think it’s one of those things you have to trust your gut on. What’s this about anyway?”
“I’ve been seeing this girl I met during the season this summer, and I don’t know. I keep almost saying it and… I want to, I just don’t know how.”
“I see. How about this, we can sit and watch Scream together with some popcorn and you can tell me about this girl.”
“Sounds like a good plan,” Dannie nodded, “Let’s do it.”
Her dad grinned, “Let’s do it. Come on pooks.”
----
Dannie’s mom drove her to pick up Lola from the airport, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous. This was the first time her mom was meeting Lola and she was incredibly worried that somehow things would go wrong. But it was Lola, and she was now pretty sure she loved her. So things couldn’t go that wrong, right?
She fidgeted with her necklace as they pulled up to the arrivals. She got out of the car once her mom pulled to the side, looking around for Lola.
Her phone buzzed.
I can see you.
She now frantically looked around for Lola and then felt a hand on her shoulder, “BOO!”
“AH! Lola,” she jumped, turning around and hugging her tightly.
“It’s so good to see you, you have no idea,” Lola said, kissing her.
They broke away and Dannie blushed, “In front of my mom?”
“Well your mom can deal because it’s the first time I’m seeing the girl I’m in love with in a month and-”
“Woah woah woah. In love with?” Dannie’s eyes lit up.
“Yeah. I know. Surprised me too,” Lola chuckled, “But I do. I love you Dannie.”
Dannie could feel her cheeks turning pink and her stomach doing somersaults, “I love you too.”
“Good. Now help me into the car?”

(To hide these posts going forward blacklist #kenziewritespride)
Skylar had opted to skip the party that the people in the program were throwing for New Years and was heading back in the direction of his dorm when he felt a hand on his shoulders.
“Crikey!” He muttered.
“Skylar,” the familiar voice brought a smile to his lips. It was Kai, the guy Skylar had spent a lot of time with during his stay back in Australia.
“Hi Kai,” he looked over, “What’re you doing? Thought you were out with the others.”
“I got a roadie,” Kai held up the two beers in his other hand, “For both of us.”
Skylar nodded, “Well I’m going to hang out in my room.”
“Can I come with you?”
“Yeah,” he nodded.
Kai smiled, walking along with him, “Not really getting on with the other blokes?”
“It’s not that. I’m not much for partying anyhow. Even my friends at home knew I was kinda a buzzkill.”
“I’m sure you weren’t,” he reassured.
Skylar shrugged, “I don’t know.”
Kai nudged him playfully, “Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re a great guy.”
He smiled softly, “Ta Kai.”
When they made it back to Skylar’s dorm, the two of them went in. The living situation was pretty nice, Skylar shared a room with a guy named Rocky and the two of them shared a living room and kitchen with two blokes named Hunter and Jack. But all 3 of them were out having drinks to celebrate with the others.
Kai sat down on the couch, flipping on the TV to the New Years countdown which read there was still 30 minutes left. Skylar sat beside him, taking the beer that Kai had gotten him and taking a drink.
“So, you got any more interesting stories about working at the zoo?” Kai said with wonder in his eyes.
On one of the first days, Skylar had gotten paired with Kai for a task which he was used to doing at home so he kinda took the lead on it all, leaving Kai to ask about what it was like to work in an actual zoo and not just the petting zoo he was used to. Skylar had told some funny stories about things that happened and every time, the way Kai’s eyes lit up made him happy so he kept going.
“Well, there was one time I was going to check on the hippo exhibit cause Peter, the guy who usually goes to clean up in the morning was running a little late, and I walk in and one of the hippos had pulled out a huge chunk of the grass we keep out for them and it was just everywhere.”
“A real dog’s breakfast,” Kai chuckled.
Skylar chuckled. His whole family was Australian, but there had definitely been a lot of new terms he’d learned in the 2 months he’d been here.
“So I’m like crikey! What happened here! And I had to go grab the rake and get it all back in the feeding area and I found one of the baby hippos had laid down for a nap in the grass.”
He awed, “A baby hippo.”
“So I just let her have her little nap and cleaned around her,” he smiled.
Kai took a sip of his beer, “That’s a bonzer story, Sky.”
“Thanks. I know you like hippos so I thought you’d like it,” he nodded.
Kai smiled, “So tell me more about your life at home.”
“Like another zoo story?”
He shook his head, “No. Like… What else do you do for fun?”
“Oh,” he shrugged, “I mean I’ve been on Total Drama a couple times.”
“Total Drama? Like… the TV show from when we were little?” Kai raised his eyebrows.
He nodded, “Yeah. They did a reboot of it and I was on seasons 3 and 4.”
“Crikey! That’s so cool! Is it as fun as it looks?”
Skylar chuckled, “It’s kinda fun. But it for sure has its downsides.”
“I bet,” Kai smiled, teasing, “Is that all? No more secret hobbies?”
He shook his head, “No, not really.”
“You… got a girlfriend?”
“No,” Skylar shook his head, “Girls aren’t really my thing.”
“Boyfriend?”
Skylar took a sip of his beer, “No. Why?”
Kai was quiet for a second and Skylar followed his glance to the TV. 3 minutes left on the countdown. He looked back at him, raising his eyebrows.
“I think you’re cute, Sky,” Kai explained.
Skylar’s heart started racing and he could feel his cheeks turning a little pink, “You do?”
He nodded, “And if it’s alright with you I’d like to kiss you at midnight?”
“K-kiss me? Is that a thing people do?”
Kai chuckled softly, smiling, “Yeah. You ring in the New Year with a kiss. Doesn’t have to mean more than a kiss if you don’t want it to.”
“Oh,” Skylar swallowed hard, a little nervous as he continued, “Well I think you’re… cute too. But I- I’m not- I haven’t ever dated anyone so I don’t know… I might be bad at it.”
“Not possible,” Kai said reassuringly, “So is that a yes? I can kiss you?”
Skylar nodded, glancing at the clock as it started to count down. His hands got a little sweaty as he watched it.
“Skylar?” Kai said.
He turned to look at him as the people on the TV cheered. Kai slowly leaned in for a gentle kiss. Skylar kissed him back, a little more hesitant. When they broke apart, Skylar smiled shyly. He’d never really understood the phrase for having butterflies in his stomach but as he looked over at Kai he started to get it.
---
After they kissed at New Years, Skylar freaked out. Okay freaked out was too loose of a term. He had completely lost his mind. Because these harbored feelings he’d had for Kai came to a bursting realization all at once.
And it got to the point where he couldn’t even bear to be in the same room as Kai, because the second he looked over at him and caught him looking at him, it was like his stomach flipped and his face turned a bright red. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do, just like he hadn’t really for the entirety of this internship.
He’d made the private decision to keep some distance unless in group settings so he would be able to avoid… whatever that was. And it was going well. Okay scratch well, it was simply going. Kai and Skylar were teamed up to do a project together, which left them spending a lot of nights at one house or the other working on it together.
And that’s where they were tonight. On the couch in Kai’s living room. Sitting in a bout of awkward silence while they individually worked on their parts to this… rather dumb project if Skylar was being honest. There was no purpose, besides making him spend hours in the same room as Kai, trying his best not to make eye contact cause every time he did? Well…
“What do you reckon this has to do with working in a zoo?” Kai asked, looking down at his laptop, “Do you have to pitch ideas for events with the zoo to do?”
Skylar looked up from where he was gluing something on their posterboard, “What? No. Nobody is gonna ask us to do that.”
“Really?” Kai asked, looking at Skylar, “You never pitched stuff for your Canada zoo?”
“I kinda just got told what to do,” he shrugged, feeling his chest tighten as Kai looked at him so he dropped his gaze, “It wasn’t…”
“Interesting,” Kai muttered, looking back at his laptop.
Skylar pressed down on the picture as if it hadn’t already been firmly stuck on the poster, just wanting to do something with his hands while he waited for Kai to print out the words that were supposed to go across the top.
Kai stood up, going over to the printer and grabbing them and for a second, Skylar was alone and felt a bit of relief. He felt like such an idiot. Kai liked him! Kai had liked him enough to kiss him at New Years. And he’d gone and been weird and ruined it all. And now he was completely screwed over. Now he was the one with feelings, and Kai… well… he probably hates Skylar now.
He came back into the room, handing Skylar a pair of scissors, sharp end out. He instinctively went to grab the handle instead of the sharp end, to be safe, their hands touching probably a second longer than they should’ve. Skylar could feel his stomach flip again, his heart racing a little as they made eye contact, Kai’s eyes flicking down to Skylar’s lips.
He took the scissors and started cutting out the letters, putting all his focus on the paper in front of him as he gathered his thoughts. They sat there, the only sound breaking the silence was the dual noises of them cutting out the label for their poster.
“Whi-” Kai started but Skylar’s one track mind and anxiety cut him off.
“Do you like me?” His eyes darted up to Kai’s, trying to gauge his reaction. Facial reactions were always really hard for him to make out. From what he could tell, Kai looked surprised. There was a pause before he responded.
“I- Yeah. Why?”
Skylar could feel his mouth completely dry out as he continued to blurt out exactly what he was thinking, with no filter, “Because I like you. A lot. And I’ve been freaking myself out about it and I’m sorry. But we’ve been sitting here for the last twenty minutes doing this stupid project and all I can think about is kissing you again.”
If his face hadn’t been red when he asked the first question, it sure was now. He took a deep breath.
“Sky…” Kai had an unreadable look on his face.
“So can I? Kiss you I mean.”
A smile came to Kai’s face, “Yeah.”
Skylar set his scissors down, cupping Kai’s face in his palm, taking a calming breath as he shut his eyes and leaned in to kiss him. And while he’d been nervous up until this moment, the second he felt Kai kissing him back, the nerves melted off him.
As they broke away a few moments later, Skylar cleared his throat, “Uh. So what now?”
Kai chuckled, “What do you want, Sky?”
“I’d… like to maybe go on a date. Would that be okay with you?”
“That would be more than okay with me,” he smiled, “Should we get back to the project?”
Skylar chuckled, “Maybe.”
---
Skylar stood in front of the closet of his dorm in Australia, staring at the clothes hanging in it. He had a date. A date. One that he initiated! That still blew his mind. How had he gained the guts to do that? He barely recognized himself.
He pulled out one outfit, looking it up and down. It was cute enough, right? He put it on, standing in front of the full length mirror hanging on the back of his door.
He was startled as a knock came from the other side, “Sky?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I come in?”
“Uh, yeah,” he nodded, opening the door to spot his roommate Rocky standing on the other side, a bottle in his hand.
“I heard you have a date tonight,” he seemed a little surprised.
Skylar nodded timidly.
“Do you wanna wear some cologne? Chicks dig it.”
His face went bright red and he shook his head.
“You sure, mate?”
“I’m sure,” he swallowed hard, “I don’t think I’ll need it.”
“Alright then,” he patted him on the shoulder, “So how’d you meet her?”
The more Rocky spoke the more he realized nobody here knew that he was gay, except Kai. Shoot.
“Work stuff,” he shrugged his hand off.
“Work stuff. What? Is she in the program?”
“Something like that,” he bit his lip.
Rocky’s face lit up, “Well crikey! Who is it? Poppy? Riley?”
“Uh,” just as Skylar was about to admit it, the doorbell rang, “I’ll get it.”
He went to open the door and Kai was standing on the other side.
“You ready?” He grinned at him.
Rocky came up behind Skylar, “Kai, mate. You come to see Skylar off for his big date?”
Skylar’s face turned bright red.
“Big date, huh? You’ve been telling people about it?”
“I didn’t te-”
“I heard it through the grapevine,” Rocky said confidently, “Apparently it’s someone in the program.”
Kai, playing innocent, smirked. Skylar cleared his throat.
“So um. I’m gonna go on the date. With… Kai,” he said timidly.
“Oh is it a double date?”
Kai chuckled, “No.”
“OHHHHHH! You two are…”
Skylar nodded, wishing he could disappear.
“Well, I hope you two have a good time. See you later, Sky. Kai,” Rocky nodded.
“You ready?” Kai asked again.
“Yep.”
---
Skylar walked awkwardly alongside Kai as they headed over to the restaurant he’d picked out. Why he’d picked it out he couldn’t for the life remember because this walk felt like it was going on forever. Was he sweating? Oh god he was sweating. He hoped his deodorant would hide anything. He should’ve taken the cologne offer from Rocky after all. Kai probably was thinking-
He looked over at Kai, who seemed to be on cloud nine, walking peacefully. How was he so calm about this?!
Kai’s gaze turned to Skylar and his eyebrows furrowed, “You alright, mate?”
“Mm? Yeah. Fine. Uh. We’re just about there.”
“Crikey,” Kai said jokingly, “And here I thought you were gonna ask to hold my hand.”
Skylar’s face turned bright red, “Uh- oh- um, is that something people do?”
“Yeah,” Kai nodded, continuing to walk, “But we don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
Skylar stood there contemplating what to do before he quickly walked to catch up with him, taking Kai’s hand in his. He turned to him with a smile, squeezing Skylar’s hand.
“I took that as a hint. Hope it’s alright.”
“More than alright,” Kai nodded.
When they reached the restaurant, Kai opened the door for Skylar, letting him walk inside. Skylar cleared his throat as he approached the hostess.
“Table for two. Under the name Witter?”
“Right this way,” she smiled, leading the two of them to a booth in the back.
---
“Two barramundi tacos?” the waitress said, carrying their plates over to them, setting them in front of them.
“Ta,” Kai nodded.
“Thank you,” Skylar smiled at the waitress, starting to pick up one of the tacos.
Kai did the same and they both took a bite.
“Mm,” Skylar moaned, nodding, holding a hand up as he chewed, “This is good.”
“See! I told you you’d like it. It’s an Aussie staple,” he grinned.
Skylar chuckled, liking how happy he was. It was cute. He could feel the butterflies in his stomach acting up. He took another bite, happily chewing.
“So, um, what else do people do… on dates?”
Kai raised his eyebrows, “Have you never been on a date before?”
Skylar blushed, looking down at his tacos, “Uh… no…”
“Oh,” Kai cleared his throat, “Sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“Because I guess I just- you probably should’ve had a better first date.”
Skylar looked confused at him, “What? What do you mean a ‘better’ first date?”
“You know…”
“Kai I really don’t,” he started wondering if he was stupid and hesitated slightly before continuing, “I like you, Kai. A lot. As far as I know, unless I missed some major thing, that’s all you need for a good first date.”
“You like me a lot?”
Skylar fought the knot in his throat, “I do. So I’m having a good time. With you, eating these really good tacos.”
“Would you wanna do this again sometime then?” Kai asked, a smile on his face.
“If you want to,” Skylar nodded, “I wasn’t really sure… how you felt about me.”
“Mate, I’ve liked you for a while. I just didn’t think you were on the same page as me,” he chuckled, “But that definitely clears things up.”
Skylar chuckled softly, nodding.
---
Kai walked Skylar back to his dorm, leaning against the railing of the decking, “So… tonight was a lot of fun.”
Skylar looked down at his hands, which were running along the seam of his shirt, “Kai?”
“Sky?”
Skylar looked up at him and took a deep breath, “Would it be alright if I kissed you goodnight?”
“Absolutely.”
Skylar timidly stepped closer to Kai, shutting his eyes as he leaned in to kiss him again. Once again his stomach was filled with butterflies as Kai leaned into the kiss.
A few moments later, they broke apart and Skylar nervously licked his lips, “Uh. I guess I’ll see you at work tomorrow?”
“You will,” Kai nodded.
“Goodnight Kai,” he turned to open the door to his dorm, but then quickly turned back to kiss his cheek before going inside.
Happy Pride! Today I decided to double up on prompts. A two-for-one, if you will. Misunderstanding/Unhappy Ending! What could go wrong, right? Hahaha.
Anyway, this is again about my Total Drama OC, Dannie. With a bit of backstory to her life before she was on the show hehe. Once again, as usual, if you want to learn more about these OCs, do check out the blog @teadocs for all the fun!
Danielle Sidney Tate was born to be a horror enthusiast. Her parents had met at a horror convention. Her mother, Debby, was dressed as Sidney, and her dad, Tim, was dressed as Billy. They’d never met before, but legend has it, a professional photographer for the con thought their costumes were top notch and wanted to get some shots of the two of them together. They went out for drinks afterward… one thing led to another… and 9 months later, Dannie was born.
From a young age she was fascinated by this picture she had of her parents. Despite the fact they were no longer together when she was born, she had taken to romanticizing the kind of spark that her parents’ must’ve felt that day. And she clung to it.
The first time she watched Scream, Dannie was 13. She had been bugging her mom to let her watch it for at least a year, and finally her parents had sat down and discussed it, allowing her to watch it with their supervision. And once it started, she was hooked.
Scream led to Saw which led to Final Destination which led to Halloween and so on and so forth until she’d made it through both of her parents’ DVD and VHS collections.
Eventually, she was old enough to drive herself to conventions. With her mom’s old Sidney cosplay on, she went in search of the same spark that led to her parents meeting.
She was in line to meet Matthew Lillard, when she bumped into someone and turned around to see a girl standing there dressed as Gale specifically from Scream 2.
“Oh, shit, sorry,” she apologized.
The girl smiled back at her, “Wow that’s a great Sidney cosplay,” she ran her hand along Dannie’s arm, looking her up and down.
“And that’s a spot on Gale.”
“You recognize it,” this girl’s face lit up, “I swear I’ve been ignored all day.”
“People just don’t know Scream well enough then,” she joked nervously, unsure as to why her hands were sweating.
“I’m Sophie,” she smiled.
“Dannie.”
“Nice to meet you,” she nodded.
The two of them spent the time they were waiting in line chatting. Eventually they got up to Matthew Lillard and each took their photos with him. Afterward, Dannie turned to Sophie and swallowed hard.
“It was really nice to meet you.”
“You too,” she nodded, “Mind if I get your number?”
Dannie was taken aback, and nodded, “Yeah. Sure.”
As Sophie took her phone and entered her number in, Dannie couldn’t help but feel the spark she’d been romanticizing all this time. She always figured it would be with… well… a guy. But there wasn’t a doubt in her mind this is what it must feel like.
So she took a leap of faith and when Sophie looked up, she leaned in for a gentle peck. When Dannie pulled away a stunned Sophie stood there.
“Oh fuck.”
“What?”
“No. I- I see how you thought- shit. I’m in a relationship.”
Dannie felt her face turn red, “I’m so sorry. You can delete my number and just-”
Sophie reached out and held her shoulder, “Don’t worry about it. I thought you were cute too. And we could still pull together a kickass group cosplay. Just… I’m sorry I didn’t mention my boyfriend sooner.”
“Boyfriend,” Dannie muttered under her breath.
“I’ll catch you later Dannie. Or should I say, Sidney.” She winked.
Dannie nodded as Sophie walked off.
“What the fuck was that,” Dannie muttered to herself, walking back out to her car.
