–CINDERELLA.
in the two weeks leading up to their big day, loren posted a short video on youtube saying she was taking a break from minecraft content. a lot of her fans were confused, but supportive and loren continued to stream but in the just chatting category instead.fans started to worry, as on those streams loren just wasn't herself. eventually clips emerged on youtube and twitter of little mishaps where bambi and loren would speak to each other during streams or loren would fuck up a joke or openly show confusion. so the entire fandom was trying to figure out what was going on, with conspiracy theories and long discussions on forums, 'what happened to lorendipity?'
loren herself was so pissed about these little discrepancies being found and pointed out by the community. she took it out on bambi, even more than she already did. blaming her the hysteria, since she was the one who refused to help her on anymore videos.
bambi felt so completely and utterly trapped. she spent every day locked in her room. hopelessly texting her friends and missing the time she spent with them, trying to ignore the fact she was now 21 and jobless with only highschool education.
"bambers, i'm worried about you" drake whined over the phone, as bambi stood at the stove, making her breakfast.
"i'm fine, honestly i needed this break"
"yeah but you're digging yourself into this hole of sadness, and we need to get you out of it"
"i'm really not up for it, d" she let out a long sigh.
"please you can wear sweats for all i care, just come meet me out the front of your apartment and we can have some fun tonight" drake pleaded
"fine, but gotta pay for the food"
"of cours—" a loud knock on the door could be heard from drakes side of the phone.
"who's that?" she teased.
"see you at 6! love you dork!" he rushed out, before quickly hanging up.
she made a note to self: ask him about that tonight.

"bambi's gonna freak" drake giggled excitedly, as he opened the door to reveal the two tall boys, smiling brightly.
"hey to you too" techno retorted playfully, shaking drake's hand, as clay pulled him into a hug.
"it's so nice to finally meet you" he smiled, causing drake to return the compliment.
"okay so, we're picking her up at 6, then ikea, then back here to watch a movie or something" he motioned towards the flat screen tv sitting on the floor in front of a bunch of blankets and pillows.
"sounds great, techno and i are gonna get food and then go to bambi's step-dad's, and we'll be back here just in time"
"dream team who? we're the scheming to save our best friend team" techno nodded to himself, making the other two chuckle softly.
"honestly, now good luck getting the letters. text me if you're unsure of anything and please dear god take my car—do not drive to meet her stepdad in that stupid truck"
"don't disrespect betty the truck, she's been through a lot" techno disappointedly gave drake the keys. "take care of her"
"we'll see you soon, let's get going" clay laughed, beckoning techno to come with him.
"see you later! good luck!"

"good afternoon, mr mclennan, sir" techno stood up straight, causing clay to anxiously copy him.
"do i know you boys?" the larger man before them spoke.
"i'm nick, and this is karl, we're friends of bambi's, and we actually came to ask you something" clay spoke up, holding up his phone screen to show his screensaver just for proof. it was one of the countless pictures they took while playing mario kart, and bambi was smooshing his face whilst techno had wilbur in a choke hold.
"ah, well come in" he beckoned, chuckling softly at the photo. "please, call me kai"
they entered the large house, with floor to ceiling windows. clay loved it, it was such an upgrade from his shitty little apartment. he had been meaning to move out anyway. surely he could afford a place as pretty as this. he made a note to self to look into it, before following kai mclennan into the living room.
"as you know, bambi's just turned 21, and she's mentioned the letters from her mom a few times, but has been really busy lately and we wanted to surprise her with them"
"cutting to the chase i see, but that's really nice of you boys" he pondered for a few moments. "if you know bambi you must know my leilani"
"leilani?" they both questioned.
"loren! my bad" he let out a breathy laugh. "that's the name i gave her when she was born, but in our early years on the mainland her middle school wasn't very understanding, so she started going by loren instead"
"oh.." the boys looked at one another.
"now look boys, i'm not too sure about this" he admitted.
"i understand that, i would be hesitant too it two random boys came asking me to give them such an important possession" techno tried his best to be frank with kai mclennan. "bambi is one of our closest friends, and we want to assure you these letters will be extremely safe with us, and we will get them to her immediately"
"i'm glad to hear she's made some good friends, she's always been quite shy, i hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass" he chuckled whilst getting up, and walking across the room into a little study nook.
he fished out a little pink box from the bottom of a few large overflowing cabinets. "please get them to her safely, i feel terrible i haven't been able to get them to her sooner, and loren mentioned how busy she's been with her new job"
"yeah, she's been really busy" the boys looked at each other again. another blatant lie curtesy of loren.
"remind me of your names boys, i've been meaning to call loren and check up"
techno opened his mouth, to spew his real name to loren's father as clay stopped him.
"nick and karl"
"i must get back to work, but it was great to meet you boys, please tell bambi to give me a call as well, once she reads the letters"
"will do, thank you s—kai" techno corrected himself.
"thank you" clay nodded, walking with techno outside, where they took deep breaths.
"why did you do karl and nick like that!" techno freaked as they walked to the car.
"well we sure as hell can't let loren know we're here, she'll know somethings up,"
"i do not see this ending well" techno ran his fingers through his hair anxiously.
"relax, i'll just call nick later and let him know"
it was safe to say, he didn't call nick.
