(Title by Fall Out Boy)

(If you don't get the joke I really don't know how to explain it to you)

*Laurance*

Aphmau: GUYS!!! THE FALL FESTIVAL IS COMING TO TOWN!!

Oh no.

Dante: Oh no

Me: Oh no.

Garroth: Oh Irene no.

Travis: is it really that bad?

Katelyn: I kinda liked last year..

Nicole: of course you did, you spent the whole day with your Aphmau~ ♡

Quickly after Nicole sends her message, she deletes it. I would too, no one sane wishes to invoke Katelyn's wrath.

Maybe I should explain why we are all not pleased with the fall carnival. In short, Dante and Nicole got shoved into a hole together last year, when they were dating. They ended up breaking up that night. Every year I'm forced to go into the haunted maze, which freaks me out. Not the clowns or the skeletons, though, it's the giant spiders that I hate. I shudder. Katelyn normally hates it too but last year she did in fact spend it all with Aph. Lucinda normally works the whole time. There are also other reasons, but I guess those are the most notable

But why does Garroth not seem to hot on the idea..?

Aphmau: Oh, c'mon guys! It'll be better this year, I promiseeeee!

Aphmau: wait hold up. Somethings missing here.

I make a confused face. To my knowledge, nothing was--

Aphmau has added Zane to the chat!

Well, that makes more sense.

Zane: what am I doing here.

Aphmau: You're part of the squad now.

Lucinda:... at this point I'm just gonna accept it.

Travis: Little dark cloud has decided to hover over our little chat eh?

Zane: I had no choice to not do so. Sadly. (Zane casually goes with the nickname given by Travis do I hear wedding bells)

Katelyn: Little dark cloud? Really?

Me: Well it works, Garroth is Sunshine

Garroth: news to me

Garroth: I'll roll with it.

Dante: Laurance already coming up with pet names like

Dante then deletes his message, hoping I hadn't seen it. Too bad he's very unlucky. I take a deep breath to calm myself down. It's such a good thing we don't live together. He would be dead before any of us could take a freaking breath. Okay, still not calm enough. I take a moment and look back down at the group chat.

Aphmau: GREAT! so we'll  all meet up at the carnival on Saturday!

Zane: alright.

Garroth: that should be enough time to mentally prepare myself.

Dante: no such thing as enough time, you'll never be fully prepared.

Travis: I really think you guys are overreacting...

KC: Kawaii~ Chan has experienced the fall festival... Travis~ kun, it can be pretty bad for some of us..

Me: no sugar, sherlock.

Garroth: I'm now adopting that phrase into my everyday vocabulary. Thank you.

Me: You're welcome.

A typing bubble shows up from Dante, then disappears. Good choice, honestly.

Travis: nerds come in packs of two, I guess.

Oh. Okay then. Travis sadly wasn't gifted with the same wisdom, I guess. At least he didn't say anything that would be too embarrassing. Or infuriating.

A notification sounds. Garroth sent a picture. it's a selfies of him, messy haired and wearing glasses and a star wars shirt. He smiles at the camera cutely. God, this man was too much.

Garroth: pffft, nerd? Me? Nahhhh

Zane: I'm embarrassed to be connected to you by blood.

Aphmau: can you too go 5 minutes without going at each other

Dante: I get how it is, brothers are equally annoying and awesome at the same time

Zane: too bad Garroth got most the annoying

Travis: wow, rain cloud throwing some shade.

Garroth: I feel so loved.

Aphmau: well, I gotta go, my food is gonna burn cause of you people

Katelyn: Not the food 😰

Dante: And I still need to kick Travis' butt in Mario cart

Travis: Can a get a kiss good luck, Zuzu?~

Zane: don't call me that

Garroth: Why ask my baby brother? 

Katelyn: I'm just glad it wasn't me

Me: I'm gonna go,  good night guys!

I read a couple 'goodnight' messages and lock my phone, tossing it aside. Saturday is the festival. Two full days to prepare myself. This could get interesting.

~°~°~°~°~

Crappy filler chapters. Do not worry, next chapter there should be some nice fluffy gaurance moments, aka the only reason why you're here 😂

Also, I feel like I should explain: This story is based off of what I thought of the characters around episode 75 or so of MCD season one. Like, most of the family stuff for Garroth is based on my theories, and Laurance being bisexual. Every thing is based on what I think/thought is who these characters are, including heights, jokes, and relationships with other characters.
Tl;dr: Nothing canon applies here, welcome to madness.

Anyyywhozzles, I hope you all enjoyed!

Bye bye~ ♡
