Let's Hear It For America's Suitehearts

3RD POV

-IN AMERICA-

Benzedrine tied the rope around his waist and tightened it as much as he could without it cutting off circulation. He took off the brightly colored top hat and handed it to Donnie, grabbing the gas mask and putting it on.

"Alright, when I tug two time in a row, that means I need pulled out. If I tug three times, that means I have Pete and Brendon and we need pulled back through." Benz went over the procedure throughly. He wasn't feeling the whole 'die between worlds and never be found' thing, so he hoped it went well.

He once more checked the rope and grabbed the potion from his pocket. Then, taking a deep breath, he dove in. Benz smashed the glass tube and a puff of purple smoke rose up around him, quickly vanishing into the air.

A light shone under where Benzedrine was located. He 'swam' down and tumbled through the light and onto soft grass and hard dirt. He had made it back to the normal world.

PETE'S POV

An odd sensation washed over me. I had been a little on edge ever since the whole kids cartoon thing went down, but this felt different, almost like I was being picked up off my feet.

"Brendon, do you feel that?" I turned to him questioningly.

He shook his head. "Pete, it's probably your mind just messing with you. You've been kinda set off since that whole cartoon thing so that's still fresh in your mind."

I slumped back down. "Yeah, I guess." The wave came over me again, but this time, so strong I felt lightheaded. "Brendon, grab your keys and wallet, we've gotta go right fucking now."

Brendon jumped at the sudden statement and grabbed what I had told him to. I bolted out the door and into the nearby woods. My headache got worse as I neared the sight of the portal.

Brendon followed behind me as we were both panting for breath. Over the fallen trees and bushed, I saw a lump of yellow and soft strawberry blonde hair. My breathing stopped for what felt like forever before I jumped the tree in my way and running to him, my one and only. Patrick. Benzedrine.

"Benzedrine!" I shouted, tears forming and quickly running down my face.

"Sandman!" He threw off a gas mask into a bush and jumped into my arms, while we cried into each other while Brendon looked on with a happy but shocked expression.

"Uhm, Patrick?" Brendon interrupted after about a minute.

Benzedrine looked up to Brendon and smiled. "Dr. Benzedrine, call me Benzedrine."

The smallest boy pulled away from me and noticed my arm before frowning. "We'll get you home and get you fixed, okay? I'll fix your arm as best I can."

I nodded gratefully then noticed the rope tied around him. My head titled in confusion.

"I'll explain everything later, just c'mon. You too, Brendon. Your boyfriend is waiting for you." He smiled his adorable little grin.

Brendon bounded over and held onto me while I held onto Benzedrine. He tugged the rope 3 times before we were pulled quickly into the portal and tumbled out the other side.

3RD POV

The soft noise of the carousel down the block and the now black and gold clothing of Pete's  were the second most noticeable things when the 3 came through, the most being choked sobs and gasps.

"Pete, Brendon!" The two Suitehearts and one person shouted as the stood.

Brendon's head snapped up at the mention of his name from a specific voice. "Ryan!" He jumped at him and showered his face in kisses and they hugged each other until they couldn't breathe.

Benzedrine collapsed onto Sandman as tears of joy strolled down his porcelain cheeks. "I missed you so much, my Sandman."

"You don't understand how much I've been needing you, doctor." He grinned crookedly. A small gust of wind flew by as 3 shadows floated across the grass and onto Sandman.

Sandman laughed and said something in an unknown language to the translucent shadows.

After the initial shock of the two being back, everyone gathered at Benzedrine's house. They were all seated in the living room when Benz slowly stood. "Sandman, come with me."

Sandman took Benzedrine's soft hand and they went down into the lab. "I need to get this reattached, I could only keep it for so long, so thank god you got here in time." Benz dropped Sandman's hand and opened the jar.

He put on rubber gloves and asked Sand to take off his long black glove covering the metal arm and roll up his sleeve.

Benzedrine took off the partially healed skin as blood began coming out again, but he was quick to attach the two and sew it all back up. He grabbed a large syringe and filled it with a dark blue medicine and injected it into Sandman's upper arm.

"There, be careful for now with that arm, it'll be sore for a few weeks." Benz explained, pressing a soft kiss to Sandman's forehead.

Sandman nodded before standing. "I'll be careful, but first, I gotta do something."

Benzedrine cocked his head in confusion.

The older began to speak softly. "Benzedrine, I've known you my whole life, quite literally speaking. You've stayed with me this whole time despite my attitude and how I am as a person. I've been so lucky to be able to call you mine through this crazy adventure we've been through and now, three years, three months, and forty-nine days later, I have enough courage to finally ask you what I've wanted to since day one." Sandman got down on one knee and pulled a black velvet box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a silver band with two diamonds, one black and one yellow, placed in the middle. "Patrick Martin Vaughn Stumph, will you marry me?"

Benzedrine took a step back in shock, as he hadn't even realized the tears rolling down his cheeks. "Yes, of course I will.." It was barely a whisper that Sandman couldn't hear. "I definitely will marry you, my love, my one and only." Benz now spoke up and cried into Sandman's shoulder as the older slipped the ring onto the other's hand.

Little did Benzedrine know, the rest of their friends stood at the top of the stairs and watched the whole thing. As the two lovers hugged once more, they began singing.

"Down, set, one. Hut, hut, hike. Media, please,"

"Let's Hear it for America's Suitehearts!"
