****DISCLAIMER!!!!!****
THIS STORY IS PRETTY TRASH.
I WROTE IT WHILE I WAS DESPERATE FOR INTERACTIONS OF ANY KIND DURING QUARANTINE. ALL THREE OF THE GUYS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY OFF FROM THEIR ACTUAL PERSONALITIES AND I HEAVILY BASED THE "READER" OFF OF MYSELF BECAUSE, AGAIN, I WAS DESPERATE FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION.
IF YOU CRINGE WHILE READING, JUST KNOW I WARNED YOU.

A/N: I'm going back through, again, but this time I'm changing the pronouns. They were originally feminine, but I'm making them gender neutral so more people can enjoy the story :]

TW: This chapter contains a mild (poorly written) anxiety attack. 

"Are ya ready?" Sean asks happily. "Not in the slightest." you respond. "Perfect!" Mark exclaims, receiving a giggle from you. Mark steps to the edge of the stage and waits for the announcer to finish the over-dramatic narration. Once finished he walks on stage, receiving loud cheers from the audience. Hearing the audience made your gut twist with nerves. Ethan was next. "Alright backflip guy." You jokingly say while poking him in the shoulder. He chuckles and Mark gives his cue. He runs out and cheers, causing the crowd to erupt In cheers as well. It was almost your turn, you can do this... Sean pulled an office chair up and, once cued by Ethan, pushed himself out. Spinning rapidly, he almost falls out of the chair when trying to stop. Mark and Ethan both gave him looks of  'what the fuck?' before laughter ensued. He happily laughed along as you prepared for your cue. You planned to run full speed out and slide on your knees, probably getting hurt along the way but that was a sacrifice you were willing to make. After calming down a bit Sean gave your cue. "But, guys, we can't just have three horsemen of the apocalypse. We have Death, Famine, and Plague, but we need War!" That was your cue, but you didn't move. You couldn't move. It was like your legs were stuck to the floor. You could hear the confused silence on stage as you tried to force yourself forward. The funny feeling in your gut turned to pain and nausea. The three looked towards you, but you had backed up for a running start, so they couldn't see the color draining from your face and you couldn't see their confused looks. "Uhm.... (Y/n)?" Ethan asked. "Come on (Y/n)! Just do it! Run out! You might be able to salvage the bit if you go now!!!" Your thoughts were cut short by Sean's voice "(Y/n)? Are you okay?" he asked, concerned. He had come after you.  You snapped out of your trance and locked eyes with him. "I'm sorry!" you yelped. He puts a hand on your shoulder and says in a calm voice "Hey, don't worry! This is your first tour and I get your nerves. Everyone out there is lovely and if they do anything to make you upset I'll fight them!" You giggle a little at his violent remark and, after taking a moment to compose yourself,  stand up straight. You were still nervous, but with Sean there you would be better in no time. He takes your hand and says "Alright, now, let's do this." as he guides you on stage. Sean happily remarks "Found them!" as you walk sheepishly behind him, your hand still in his. The crowd cheers for you and Sean, a few small "I SHIP IT!!!" cries could be heard. Sean says "We had a little mishap, but everything's cleared up." You call jokingly "I promise it was only a small fire." getting a laugh from the crowd. You were already warming up to the crowd. Yeah, you can do this. "Alright!" Mark says, breaking your train of thought, "Now that the fourth horseman is here we can start!" Ethan, sitting next to you on the couch with a comforting hand on your shoulder, says "I say we do truth or dare first!" Improv was supposed to be first, but they weren't on a strict schedule so they could change things around a tiny bit. All three of the guys could tell you were nervous and didn't want to make you uncomfortable. "Sounds good!" Mark says as you give Ethan a thankful look. He pats you on the back as Mark and Sean do their opening "Rule" skit for truth or dare. You recall your line in this skit and, not wanting to mess anything else up, stand up and shove the two away from each other as they start shoving each other.  You say "Okay, line up before these two kill each other or I kill them." People began to stand up and walk to the mic set up in the middle walkway. Your voice shook slightly as you said your line, but soon everyone was seated back in their spots on stage. "(Y/n)" the first person says. "Are you gonna adopt these three?" You laugh a little and say "Well, seeing that only one of them is younger than me I think that'd be a little odd, but yeah. Now, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a responsible parent and  chaos will ensue, but nonetheless." you say, shrugging. Ethan calls "It'll be like Mary Poppins! You're our cool Nanny who les us do cool things!" You snicker and say "Yeah, but instead of taking you on cool adventures it's just be a lot of arson," The crowd slowly starts chanting "Nanny (Y/n)! Nanny (Y/n)! Nanny (Y/n)!" Sean laughs and says "I think you have to now." and Ethan adds "Can we stop at McDonalds on the way home?" you sigh and say "No Ethan we have food at home." All three groan and you laugh. The audience continues to ask questions and joke around with you. They give odd dares and some were near impossible, but you tried nonetheless. You didn't reject any dare, though you probably should've, which is how you ended up where you are now. All four of you in a pile on the floor. Someone had dared you to try and make a human table (look it up), none of you were sure why, but they did. Let's just say worse came to worst and you now had someone's foot in your stomach and your elbow was in Mark's face. You yelled out "What kind of orgy of chaos have we gotten ourselves into?!?!?"  causing the others to laugh with you. Ethan was the first to squirm out and helped the rest of you out. Once all of you got out Sean looked at the person who had dared that and said "I hope you're happy." to which they responded "Very" before walking off. The four of you laugh and Sean says "Now before we're dragged into another orgy we should move on." The rest of you nod and Mark says "To improv!" causing the aw's to change to cheers in an instant. You muttered "Oh god." under your breath and laughed. You were not the best at improv and you didn't know what to do in normal situations, let alone the crazy-ass ones they can come up with. Mark elbows you and says quietly "You'll be fine." You nod as Ethan says "The first game being......" he pauses for effect "CHANGE!" You throw your arms up and call out "Woowoowoowoowoo!" Sean looks at you and asks "What the fuck was that?" laughing slightly. You respond "My battle cry" trying to sound serious, but only laughing along with him. Mark says "So, Sean, (Y/n), you two have never played change but you get how it works right? Right! Okay let's go!" causing you to panic slightly and make an odd "AaaAAaaA" noise as you are shoved to the middle of the stage by Ethan, who faces Mark. "You two are... Star crossed lovers-" the crowd cheers and more cries of "SHIP IT!" can be heard. You look to the audience and say "Jesus Christ" before turning back to Mark and him saying "Alrighty then If I can finish, you are star crossed lovers... in.... a  wrestling match." You give him a look as Ethan prepares for the scene. "What?" Mark asks. You start talking in a mocking low voice "Oh DoN't WoRrY (y/N) wE wOn'T gIvE yOu AnYtHiNg ToO wEiRd At FiRsT!" causing audience members to laugh. You narrow your eyes and say "You're full of lies, Fischbach!" he makes a string of noises like he's trying to think of a retort, but just says "Just do the scene!" You swiftly turn to Ethan and Sean says "Start..." unsurely. Ethan walks up to you and says "Listen, Stuart, I know you're upset with me, but we have to fight. For the show! They'll fire both of us if we don't!" You cross your arms and say "You said the last match that you'd fake punch me. Does this... erm... chin brace...? Look fake to you!?" Struggling not to laugh. "No, and I'm sorry bu-" "change" "I... think it is fake!" "change" "Uhm.... Maybe...?' "change" "I dunno, can I try it on to see?" You let out a little laugh and say "Well, anything for you, Jerry!" but as you act like you take off the brace Sean says "Change" and you scoff and say "No! Of course not!" "Change" "Do you wanna see my chin fall off?" Ethan gasps and says "Oh no! I'm sorry I didn't know I hit you that hard!" you huff and say "Well you should've, half my face flew off during the match! There was blood everywhere... All because you refuse to stop taking supplements!" he says "You might want to get your bones checked out..." "Change" "...Yeah, I'm not sure how I missed that... but you-" "change" "my supplements are my business Rachel!" "Change" "The bells!!! They're calling out to us! We must go!" you dramatically sigh and say "Parting is such sweet sorrow!" "Change" "Uhm... Good luck dear!" "Change" you run out of ideas and simply flip Ethan off as you walk to the corner. Ethan says "Ding Ding Ding!" before charging out. "Jacksepticeye is narrating this match?" causing Sean and Ethan to laugh. You walk out to him and say "I love you" before fake punching him. He falls dramatically to the stage floor and you throw your arms up in victory. The crowd cheers again and Mark says "Scene!" while the three of you laugh. You can definitely get used to this.

    "And that will have to be the end of today's show, you have been an amazing audience!" Mark says happily. You were getting ready for your favorite skit of the whole show. He continues "Listen I know all of you came for me, but I appreciate you all cheering them on too." you were mid bow when he said this and you jerked up. "Wait what?" Mark ignored you and kept going. "Thank you all for coming and-" you cut him off "Hold on what do you mean they all came for you?!" he looks at you and says "Well it's obvious that they did" you continue "they cheered for all of us equally!" he rolls his eyes and says "Probably because they didn't want to make things awkward, okay?!" Ethan and Sean both come to your side as Ethan says "This is normal for him, just let him get it out." You growl and say "No! First you kick me in the stomach, then lie to me about keeping the skits normal at first as a warm-up, then try and make me into a stool for you, now this? No! I'm not standing for it!" as you roll up your sleeves. Mark watches you with a concerned look as you charge at him. He quickly yells "Thank you all for coming!" before running off stage. Ethan and Sean chase you trying to keep you from killing him. As you run off the crowd cheers. Then your favorite part came. Sean yells "Where did you get a chainsaw?!" and Mark screams. As the makeup person puts fake blood on your face and a chainsaw sound effect is played. The other two scream as well and you grab a prop chainsaw. You step back on stage covered in the fake blood and say "Don't worry, everything's fine!" "Ethan yells "Help us!" and you say "Uhm... Goodnight Everybody!" and walk backstage. The four of you laugh and you wipe off the fake blood. "I love that you agreed to that!" you say still laughing. You high-five each of them and take a seat. "This was amazing!" Sean says happily, and the others hum in agreement. "Where next?" You ask. Mark says "Dinner?" and the other three of you all say in agreement "Dinner." laughing once more.
