The Beginning Part 8
The Beginning part 8
As the night grows later and the sky changes color to an early morning color, Kaaru and Jesse come to the edge of the desert they’ve been traveling for days. Buildings growing nearer as they make it to the edge of the town.
“Mcada, what happened next?” Jesse asks as they dust off and head towards the motel.
“Hmm? In the story?” She asks and he nods. “Well-”
~storytime~
Zenyatta stared at the couple with a face that could only be guessed as in shock, Mccree having a determined face as he held Hanzo’s hand.
“You want me to- what?” Zenyatta asks, rubbing the bridge of his non-existent nose.
“Marry us. You’ve done it before for Reaper and Soldier.” Mccree says.
“No, I helped them renew their vows. Very different.” Zenyatta corrects the cowboy.
“Can you or can’t you marry us?” Hanzo rolls his eyes.
“I can but you need at least one witness to have it be official. Preferably a family member or close friend.” Zenyatta sighs.
“No problem. Genji is waiting in the mess hall with Reaper and Soldier.” Mccree says and Zenyatta nods.
“Lead the way.” He says, acting exhausted.
The ceremony, while short and small, was probably the most magical thing the girl had ever spied on from the vents of the base, remembering the video her Oiijia showed her when she was little of her parent’s wedding. She never imagined one of her missions would allow her to actually watch it. Even if she had to put it in an essay.
She sneaks away and back to her room where her Otōsan is looking through her holo-photo album.
“Any good memories to tell a story about?” She asks and he smiles.
“There are so many and yet so few left to tell you about.” He says and she giggles.
“What about today?” She asks and he looks at her.
“Today?” He asks, not catching on.
“Your wedding day.” She nods laying her head in his lap.
He chuckles softly, starting to braid her hair.
“But I have told you that story before. Wouldn’t you like a new story, my cherry blossom?” He asks as she looks up at him.
“No. It’s my favorite story you and Papa have told me.” She says, her galaxy hair shifting slightly as it’s braided.
“Well, it was early in the morning on a Thursday, I remember it well for the chilly breeze outside on my morning walk. It was the second to last day of December and Mccree had been talking about our wedding for months. He imagined a big wedding with lots of people and food. But we decided to get married right then and there. We had some problems in the beginning of our relationship so we were off and on a lot. We-” He began but his daughter was impatient.
“Skip to the good part.” She giggles, sitting up.
“Okay cherry blossom.” He chuckles before pulling her into his lap. “My brother and your grandparents were there, taking pictures and Genji was recording as your Papa and I exchanged vows and promised ourselves to each other. Zenyatta, being a monk, forged our marriage bonds and pronounced us man and husband.” He says as he pets her hair.
She smiled gently, remembering the scene from the vents.
“I love that story. It’s happy.” She says and he nods.
“And it’s even better when we get you, my sweet cherry blossom.” He smiles.
~reality~
Jesse hums as Karru opens up the motel room they got.
“So, she got to see her parent’s wedding?” He asks and Karru nods.
“It was a good day for her.” She says before making Jesse go to bed for the night. “More tomorrow okay?” She says and he nods.
“Night Ms. Mcada.” He spoke softly before passing out.
“Night Pa.” She whispers to herself as she looks out the window into the starry night that her hair swirled to match the stars she was seeing.

Today is just a quick sketch of Kaaru and her pet raccoon Taco.
(It took her forever to get him to sit still.)
Guess what folks!
CHAPTER 8 IS COMING OUT THIS WEEKEND!
The posting schedule will be moving to every other Sunday because that's the only days I'm not busy with non housework and can sit down and edit the chapters to posting quality.
Look forward to seeing y'all on the 18th!
Hey Freddy how's it feel having a kid of your own now.

Orphan tears.
Oh hey look Chapter 12.
This has got to be my favorite interpretation of the glitch.
I didn't even know that tiny-freddy head was a possible glitch!
That's hilarious!
BwL! keeps quiet as he walks with the others of the exploration, staying behind the others as his computer starts to categorize the others into different risk levels of being vulnerable, despite them being himself.
His Ma would be proud of him volunteering and not immediately hiding in the broken ship and breaking down. He still feels like running away but he's around other kids so he can't show his weakness and insecurities.
To keep calm, he holds onto a keychain he keeps in his pocket that his Ma made him. It's a mini Bonnie Bunny plush only about 3 inches tall that he can squeeze in his right hand and not twinge his scar to the point it gives him phantom pains of his missing finger.
He just hopes it's not too dark...
Meeting of the Gregs
Chapter 5
The sea breeze made the trees rustle as the group chatted, the waves lapping at the nearby sand making a relaxing backdrop to the hubbub as a lone seagull eyed the group, eager to swoop in if food was brought out.
RayB's question of what the first few people had found was what prompted Aftermath to finally reply, having been silent when Viva was here. The bags under his eyes enough to tell the others he had little sleep.
"Well, I'm pretty sure myself and slumber were here first." He said as D and T slapped each other to try see if they were dreaming, prompting a few Gregory's to move away from them. "....anyway, all I found out is this island is just super small. You can see the ocean on the other side just through those trees." He mentioned, pointing a thumb behind him.
Slumber piped up. "Yeah, I checked out foxy's ship. Or at least I think its foxy's. Its called Foxy's Booty." Slumber explained, pointing to the crooked nameplate above the door as a few of the Gregorys chuckled at the name. "It's got some cool stuff inside, like a hook and a pirate coat, so it might have some useful stuff inside, but myself and beacon didn't get much of a chance to explore before everyone else arrived." Slumber explained, glad to be able to take his mind off of things.
Rbay looked over the ship. It wasn't particularly big, but it was clear it had been here for a while, with several holes in the Hull. The door in the side looked like it had probably been used to haul cargo inside at a port. He sighed.
"OK... we should all eat and then try figure out if there's anything we can use around here. Aftermath, can you share your supplies?" The younger Gregory nodded, though he looked a bit apprehensive. "Once everyone has eaten, we should split into two groups. One group will explore the ship and look for anything useful. The other should take a walk along the beach and see if anything has washed up." He explained as cans of fizzy faz were quickly opened and drunk.
Nightmare had been silent till now but piped up. "Well... I got my flashlight. Wouldn't it be better if I helped explore the ship?" He asked, surprising Rbay. "That'd be good, we need to allocate who goes where by items and skills really."
D&T stopped whispering to each other to interrupt. "What about some of us setting up a camp?" Asked D, "If someone gets hurt, we need to know where we can heal up."
Rbay nodded, glancing up at the sky. The sun was pretty high, but having somewhere to rest was a good idea. "Alright. D, T, you two help in camp with..... Beacon and Puppet." Rbay continued.
HiWfi interrupted. "Hey, I'm all up for going on the explore team, but why are you taking charge? I can lead too you know." He asked with a frown. Rbay had been expecting this, he knew how quickly he'd gotten annoyed when he was their age. "Perfect. You feel like leading the exploration team?" He asked, as HiWfi looked happy for a moment, then tried to hide it. "I mean....sure, no sweat." He replied, his eyes glinting.
Aftermath raised his hand. "So.... slumber and beacon should probably keep checking the ship as they already explored a bit. I'd like to stay in the camp group as I'm in charge of the food I guess. Oh, and Uf! Would be best to be at camp with their communications watch." Aftermath said, stifling a yawn.
BwL! had tilted his head slightly as he pondered his options. "I'd like to volunteer for exploring. If we find anything heavy, I'm able to assist in bringing it back." They reasoned, which made Rbay nod.
"While I do agree with you about Slumber, Beacon and yourself Aftermath, Uf! Should be exploration so they can call for help if something goes wrong. Also, the ability to locate useful items is better for that." Rbay explained, causing the group to talk amongst themselves.
