“Set phasers to fun, Kaboom.” April put a mug of hot chocolate in front of her with plenty mini-marshmallows in it that it completely threw off the ratio. However, she was in a giving mood. “You and I are going on a trip when October rears its head. A week long road trip of hitting up the scariest haunted attractions the US has to offer. I’ve already got them mapped out, all you have to do is say yes.”

April leaned back against one of the many benches of the mall. “This is a rare day,I hope you know that.” She said with a sigh. They hadn’t been able to get their hands on anything. “Can we go do something fun like...going into those super fancy stores and dressing up like we’re going to the Oscars?”
@k8ykaboom didn’t like for a starter but she gets one anyway
“Yo.” April was hanging upside down on her couch. “Can we go get some ice cream now? I’m craving the red velvet cake with sprinkles all over it..or something. Honestly I just really want some damn ice cream.”

Break Me
Leave a “Break Me” in my ask, and I will write an angsty drabble about our
April listened to the soft tapping of her converse on the Clorox scented linoleum. Today would be the last day, according to the doctors. Today would be the last day she’d see her best friend alive...well, kind of. She wouldn’t be waking up from coma, according to them. Cody and the kids would be there tonight, when it was time to officially pull the plug.
The group of them plus Nick, for three months straight, fought like hell. The more the doctors shoved the papers toward them the more they refused. However, it got to a matter of what was best for her. To keep her connected to a machine that gave her the only oxygen she could manage or to cut her life? The hardest was when Amy and CJ asked about mommy. “When is she going to wake up Auntie Ape?” They would ask with wide eyes, tears flowing down their cheeks.
She never knew how to answer them, only how to hug them and let them cry.
In her arms, she hugged a unicorn to her chest like a child facing its’ worst nightmare. The door was at the very end of the hallway and she heard the steady rhythm of the heart monitor. Brown eyes landed on her best friend. Her imagination didn’t see the bed ridden woman, she saw the strong woman. The Celeste that, for years, had been getting into trouble with her. The Celeste that built pillow forts with her and didn’t judge regardless of the fact that they were well into their adult years.
“Hey..” April muttered, a lopsided smile on her face while she sat next to the bed. The sun came in just right, hitting her pale face while her eyes remained closed. Apparently, in the state they would be forever.
One arm clutched the unicorn while her hand came up to grab Celeste’s.
“...you know. When I showed up to that tryout I didn’t think I’d be walking out of it with a best friend.” She whispered, her eyes on the chipped purple nailpolish that had been done by Amy. “You...are one of a kind. We’ve really done it all together haven’t we?” She said, tears beginning to stream down her face. “Cel, tonight you’re going to float on up to heaven and turn into a guardian angel. I’m sure God has a special set of wings for you..ones that look like they belong on a unicorn. Just for you. You’ll be the most special angel of all..” Her tears turned into sobs and AJ’s forehead fell onto the mattress. “...and I’m going to protect Amy and CJ like they’re my own.”
Finally, after composing herself just a little bit, she looked at her best friend’s face. “I love you,Cel...and this isn’t goodbye. Regardless of what the doctor’s say...this is just a see you later. I’m going to see you again one day, and we’ll be busting faces...because...””
Just as April was about to finish the sentence, she felt a pressure on her hand. She thought she’d imagined it, but the second squeeze and the heart monitor told her elsewise.
“Cel?!” She squeaked out, her heart racing while she waited for some sort of sign.
“It’s what we do..” A very familiar low whisper said through an oxygen mask.

“Why did you bring me here?” April looked around the store with a sigh, her hands resting on her hips. “You know IKEA is one of my weaknesses...which means you did something or you needed to be here too...which is it,Kaboom?”
The stretch of land was clear, and so was Celeste’s mind. She didn’t try to beat Letty with breakneck speeds. She knew that was what would screw her up when she came into the curve. She’d already flipped her car how many times going into those curves that fast? No, she knew that she had to be steady when she went into them.
The first one came up and it was like she was flying, tires barely on the ground as she floated around the first bend. Letty was still a little ahead of her, but she’d come out of that first curve hard, fishtailing at the end of the drift. Celeste knew she had her, and it was proven true as she she easily overtook her coming out of the second curve, and the third? The third was all her, gliding over ground, and then taking off like a lightning bolt to cross the finish line.
April heard the cars coming around the corner and all of the chit-chat came to an end the second she saw the headlights. It was clear as day before they even got there, and the tiny woman grabbed onto the arm closest to her. Which just so happened to be Dom. Which meant she grabbed no more than half of his arm with how huge they were but he didn’t seem alarmed by any of it. The second Celeste was over the line, April jumped at least her height and squealed. AJ ran through the crowd charging the cars and made sure she was going to be the first one Celeste saw when she got out. “You did it!” She shouted loud enough that hopefully it went through the window. “YOU BEAT MRS.ALPHA GET OUT, GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!”
While Letty revved her engine, trying to be intimidating, Celeste ran a soft hand over her steering wheel. This car was her baby, and she had learned that she got the best, cleanest moves out of her when she was easy and gentle with her. “We’ve got this, honey pie,” she said softly. The world outside was loud and boisterous, but she was able to focus and drown them all out.
Dom was the one starting the race, standing in the middle between the cars. His arms went out and the crowd went silent. She could hear him shout, “This ain’t for pinks! It’s just for bragging rights, and we all know that’s most important!” The crowd started to shout again, and then suddenly, Dom’s large arms were coming down hard at his sides, and the race was on.
April was busy trying to keep people back when she heard the cars shoot off. The brunette immediately spun around on her heel to watch it all unravel, her gaze looking to meet Dom’s. The finish was a couple streets down and they both needed to get there. To her surprise, he motioned for her to jump in and the two were off in probably one of the most awkward car rides she’d ever been in.
A large crowd was already at the end of it all and when AJ hopped out, she stood off to the side but right in the front. She knew Cel had this in the bag. This is what she was born to do. Letty didn’t have a chance in hell.
