Preparation | Fox Springs
Alex heaved several labored breaths, clutching his shirt over his heart. He looked at his
hand with the off-colored blood. The phone continued to ring as Alex pulled himself up
from the floor. He wiped the blood off his hand and answered the phone. It was an unknown
number.
“Hello?” he coughed, a few specks of blood flying out of his mouth.
“Alex Williams...” the female voice on the other end chuckled quietly to herself.
“What do you want?” Alex asked, slightly annoyed and scared.
“You just coughed up blood, right?” she asked.
“How did you-”
“I caused that.”
Alex scoffed.
“There is no way that you can cause me to cough uncontrollably resulting in off-colored blood
to come out of my mouth.”
“Off-colored blood?” on the other end Alex could hear the person writing something down.
“Why did you call? Who are you? How do you know me? What-” Alex cautiously asked.
“You’re going to Fox Springs, correct?” the voice said, papers rustling in the background.
“I- wh- yes. But how-” Alex was flabbergasted. How did this lady know so much about him?
How did she cause the coughing? His thoughts were interrupted when the voice said
something.
“22 Sheldon Road. Be there as soon as you can when you arrive.” she (the voice) instructed.
“Well what if I don’t?” Alex snarked, hoping that he sounded confident.
“Well then this’ll happen.” she snarked back, clicking a few buttons.
“Wha-AHH” Alex screamed out in pain, it felt like someone was stabbing his heart and
like tiny daggers were flowing through his blood stream. Alex gripped his chest,
dropping his phone. He curdled over and fell with a thump onto the floor. He went to go scream for help,but nothing came out. All that happened was more off-colored blood to poor out of his mouth.
Suddenly all the pain stopped and he coughed out the blood from his mouth and gasped for
air. Alex pulled himself up and grabbed his phone.
“That was just a taste, Alex Williams. Now go to 22 Sheldon Road ASAP once you arrive in
Fox Springs. Or that pain that you just felt, it will be increased by 100 and you’ll die.” she
hung up.
Alex stared at his phone. He had a million questions running through his head, but he knew
he couldn’t get the answers until he got to 22 Sheldon Road.

Diana tossed her clothes that wreaked of BO into the washer. She walked downstairs to
see her girlfriend in the kitchen. Diana snuck up behind her and was about to scare her when
her girlfriend whipped around. She had thick black hair cut to cute chin length and
brown-gold almond shaped eyes. She wore a fun dress under a white apron with
two interlocking female signs (⚢) in a heart. She was also about 2 feet shorter than
Diana because Diana is about 6 feet tall.
“Diana! You can’t scare me when I’m cooking.” Lily held a spatula up to her face. She was
serious and trying to look angry, but Diana couldn’t help but think that she looked really
adorable.
“I’m sorry Lilypad, I just love you so much.” Diana gave her a big hug in attempts to settle
the adorable but angry beast.
Lily gave into Diana’s love and welcomed the hug. That is, until her food started to burn
and she started swearing. Diana chuckled to herself and kept Lily company while she
cooked. Once finished, they sat together and talked about different things.
“You know I’m going on vacation with Lily, Ethan, Alex, and Andy, correct?” Diana asked,
poking at her food.
“Yes. You’ve only mentioned it like 50 times. And don’t worry. I’ll text and call you often.”
Lily reassured her.
“Aw, you’re the best.” Diana said, taking a bite of her food. “Mm! And your cooking, too!”
After dinner, they cuddled up on the couch and watched movies until they fell asleep.

It was 1 am and Ethan was still awake. He was sitting in the office (that he shared with Niamb)
and was working. He knew he should be sleeping, but there were videos that needed to get
done. Ethan was sitting at his desk animating. His left hand on the ctrl and z button and his
right hand drawing using his drawing tablet. He and Andy shared a YouTube and worked on
different animations and animatics together. They both did voice acting together at Andy’s
apartment for the some of the videos and each took turns on the animation. Although
sometimes they worked on the same animation together.
Eventually Ethan decided to call it quits and fell asleep on the couch because he couldn’t
make it to his room. A few hours later, Niamb woke up to go to run errands and found
Ethan asleep on the couch. She giggled and took a picture of him before giving him a kiss
on the forehead and heading out.

Andy is a giant cinnamon roll who does nothing wrong and is dreaming about tacos
with mustaches. Nothing much else to say. Except that he did hear Alex struggling and
when he asked Alex what was wrong, Alex said he swallowed wrong.

This whole thing was mostly just character introduction. More or less.
Sorry for it being posted so late.
The last bit about Andy… I just wanted to put that out there.
No hate on Diana and Lily please. Homosexuality is apart of life and this is the 21st century.
