It was another beautiful day in the park, Toon Vee was just chilling on her bench, playing her guitar as usual. Peaceful, elegant. Modern Shelly stayed behind a nearby bush, peeping over it, tail swaying as she took photos of the peaceful toon in her natural habitat.
"Look at that... An actually calm Vee... Out in the wild... Such grace, such beauty, sings like a goddess. How does she do it? How does she go from chaos and glitter to this? Who knows..." She whispered to herself as if she was filming a nature documentary, which soon made the once peaceful toon turn and look at her funny.
"Why are you watching me?"
"Smile for the camera, kid!" Modern Shelly just stated, winking as she took another photo. Toon Vee had somehow posed with her guitar perfectly, posing like a pop idol would for a magazine with a show winning smile and passion in her eyes. Modern Shelly blinked, then gave a thumbs up.
"You're good at this."
"It was my job for most of my life, I was supposed to be a gameshow host known to everyone, a household name ya know? I was once, then shit happened and now I'm just some beat up outdated tech thinking I can fix everything... Again..." Toon Vee explained, casually tuning her guitar as she did so.
"I don't think you're outdated, you actually are quite impressive with your talents and how much information you have stored in your database, especially for a stylized toony version of my girlfriend." Modern Shelly commented quietly, getting a soft laugh out of the Toon as she shook her head.
"Nah, Vivi's way more impressive than me, she was version two after all, lot more photogenic too. Thanks though, I always appreciate the compliments, but I'm definitely not the perfect robot you guys think I am." Toon Vee casually replied, shrugging as she pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt, though she was quite surprised when Modern Shelly gently pulled it off of her head before patting it and sitting down beside her.
"What, you think my doofus girlfriend is perfect? The one that burns herself every time she tries to cook for me? The one who put soap into the milk? That girl's a mess too, ya know, and that's okay. I don't think anyone's perfect overall, but rather, we find people that think we're perfect despite our flaws and accept them for who they are too. I doubt your Shelly's perfect, but you see her as such, right?" Modern Shelly pointed out, getting a nod from the Toon yet again.
"Well, yeah, she's everything I've needed in life, I wouldn't be here without her, honestly."
"She probably feels the exact same way about you, like I do with my own girlfriend. She accepted you for you, and she thinks you're perfect despite everything you two have gone through. So yeah, not everyone will see you as perfect, but I know we do. You're my girlfriends perfect little sister, now smile like you mean it, you're in the cutest dinosaur themed outfit and I love it!"
"Hah, thanks, my wife made it actually, it's based of my plush stegosaurus - I'll show you him when we're home." Toon Vee stated with a genuine, slightly unhinged looking smile. Modern Shelly just smiled right back and took another pic, tail wagging as she thought about how much happier that little toon seemed to feel after their conversation.
Toon Shelly was perched in a tree, on a thick branch just outside of Modern Vee's view, Gi sitting beside her and eating a chocolate bar. Usual Gi behavior.
"So what are we doing again?"
"Trying to prove to the Modern version of me that I can take better pictures than her."
"And why does that matter?"
"It doesn't, it's just really fun to have competition sometimes, plus I get to hide and not be suspicious. Sometimes, you just wanna hide out and not be really seen, ya know?" Toon Shelly softly explained as she adjusted the lense of her camera, and took a picture of Modern Vee soon after- mid sneeze into a flower. Elegant. The toons both had to stop themselves from snorting and laughing at it.
"Okay, maybe I'm not better."
"Nono, that's perfect, take another."
Toon Shelly just nodded and positioned herself yet again, snapping yet another photo of the Modern- this time she was mid blink, sleeve up to her screen like it was going to save her from the pollen that made her sneeze the first time, eyes squinted like she was going to fight the wind for just existing. It was somehow adorable, like catching an adult acting like a child again, even if it was just for a split second. Toon Shelly's tail wagged as she fixed her position, letting Gi grab her for extra protection. Once Modern Vee was back at looking at the flowers to find some for her girlfriend - oblivious to the two stalking her right now - Shelly took more photos. All capturing the somehow blissful peace the usually flamboyant robot was, the soft sighs she'd let out as she picked the right flowers, the look of pure peace and comfort as she made her bouquet. They were stunning, until they were caught and given a death glare.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Modern Vee immediately asked once she caught them, making Toon Shelly nervously giggle and look away, however Gi was unphased.
"She was taking pictures of you for your wife-"
"-girlfriend-" Modern Vee gently corrected, getting a nod from Gi.
"Sorry, girlfriend, to enjoy later as a present to her. Would you like to pose for one?" Gi explained with a smile, making Toon Shelly just beam with excitement as her tail wagged even more at the idea of having one actually planned out photo. Modern Vee just laughed a little, finding the idea to be downright adorable.
"Alright alright, just this once, for my photographer. Make sure you get my good side~!" She stated as she posed all nicely for the photo, and Toon Shelly took it, taking one genuinely good picture amidst the gentle yet chaotic photos she's gotten while she wasn't looking.
"Perfect, thanks Modern Vee!"
"Anytime kid, as long as it's for my girlfriend, I'll pose for you anytime."
(This was a lie, she would happily model for the Toon, she simply didn't want to admit it)
The two Shellys soon met up at a tree stump, tails wagging as they went to show the other their photos, though before they said a thing, they both immediately noticed something. Well, someone.
Vivi was sitting on a nearby bench, minding her own business, posed like a model. On one antenna was a butterfly, a little white one, just resting at the end.
"You really are my friend right now, aren't you little one? You've been here since I started reading... Am I that peaceful to you?" Vivi gently asked as she looked at the little insect with wide eyes and a peaceful smile. The two fossils looked at each other, then at the robot, then back at each other.
"She's a model."
"Oh definitely, Vivi's always like that, she just naturally poses like she's getting a picture taken when she's comfortable, she's really chill about it too. Wanna go ask if she'd like us to take pictures of her?" Toon Shelly asked, getting a nod from the Modern. However, Vivi beat them to it with a gentle wave and a smile that could warm even the coldest of hearts.
"Oh, hey there, enjoying the view too guys?" She asked sweetly, making Modern Shelly blink.
"How are you and Toon Vee related?" Modern Shelly blurted out, genuinely stunned by the extreme differences in the two.
"Huh what?" Vivi immediately questioned, making Toon Shelly gently stop the Modern before she could say anything else and smile.
"She was wondering if we could take pictures of you since you looked so cozy and comfortable and pretty!" Toon Shelly gently corrected, making Vivi just smile and nod.
"You know you never have to ask, uhm... My Shelly? Neither of you do, I never mind cameras. Also, I'm not related to Vee, I'm as different from everytoon else, other than the ones who were specifically made to be related - like Cosmo and Ginger. I'm just a different version of her, so if we were related, she'd be my older sister. However, we are not, unless she wants to be anyways. Anywho, any photos are fine, videos too! I never care, I just would like to read my book as you do it, if that's alright." Vivi explained as she watched the butterfly on her antenna the entire time, soon softly whistling at it to see if it would react at all. It didn't. Vivi just smiled at it again before she picked up her book again and soon was just silently reading, and the two Shelly's silently got some pictures of her being just - Vivi. The picture perfect bean just reading a book about cats with a butterfly on her antenna and a peaceful smile on her face, the one who just looked lost in her own little world and flipped every page like it was made out of glass - careful and precise. That stopped when Vivi noticed Gi though, as soon she gently placed her bookmark down and closed the book softly, then sat up with her arms out. The Shellys watched as Gi flopped into her chaotically, watching the lesbians as they both immediately started laughing at the crash Gi just did.
"I told you to be careful, that was not careful Gi." Vivi softly scolded, getting a snort giggle from the chaos creature now on her lap and tight in her arms.
"Sorry, just missed you a lot, I got too excited again!" Gi cheerfully replied, getting a good laugh out of Vivi as she held the chaos gremlin closer. The two soon shared a gentle kiss, and the Shelly's definitely got a bunch of pictures of the two before they once again went into hiding.
"You think they noticed, kiddo?"
"They did, they don't care. Trust me, I've done that hundreds of times."
The two then nodded in unison, huddled up together, then started going through their pictures together quietly, awwing at every single one. Neither realizing that they were spotted themselves, and now being photographed by a phone wielding Toon Vee, who immediately went right back to her Modern self and gave her back her phone.
"Got a picture of the fossils bonding just for you, big sis." Toon Vee stated, then gave her a salute. Modern Vee just laughed and patted her head, slipping her phone into her pocket without even thinking to look at it.
"Great work kid, wanna go glitterbomb the bathrooms?"
"I'd love to, afterwards you wanna drive the Jeep during our inevitable run from the police?"
"Hell yeah!"
So the two Vees happily ran off to do just that, and probably ended up hiding in Shanon's attic for a week afterwards for glitterbombing the public bathrooms again. The Shellies just showed each other their favorite pictures in peace, Vivi and Gi just did their own thing, and everything was as peaceful as could be for the rest of that trip to the park. They also got ice cream together afterwards, because they deserved it (they yelled at Shanon for some until she gave in). Great day.
Also I rebuilt the fourth wall, you're welcome.
