Shifting your fingers through the rack of manga, you bop your head to your favorite song blasting in your ears. Popping the bubble gum in your mouth, you shift your weight grunting when you can’t locate the latest issue of your favorite manga. Ripping the headphones off your head, you let them hang around your neck. “Oi Kazuya where is my favorite manga eleventh edition I can’t find it.” You pout quickly thumbing through the rack again to double check. “Um [Name]-chan we actually sold the last copy this morning,” he trails off ducking back behind the counter placing the register between you all. Eyes widening you turn around, “W-what?” Sto...

The Lemon and the Grape: Chapter 1
tw: emotional manipulation
It was a quiet, but foggy night in Musutafu, Japan. Most people were in their homes by now, either watching TV, hanging out with their friends or lovers, or sleeping the night away. And most would avoid walking around at this time, especially with fog around and are alone.
Unfortunately, there was one person who was doing exactly that: Mineta Minoru.
Mineta is the short, purple haired, perverted student at the hero school known as U.A High, residing in Class-1A. Due to his lecherous behavior towards women, he wasn't very popular. However, he didn't mind it all that much. Sure it would be nice to be popular with hot chicks, but at least he had his best friend, Denki.
And speaking of the Pikachu boy, Mineta had a hangout with him not too long ago, along with Midoriya, Shoji, Tsuyu, and Jiro. Though, Jiro only went for two reasons: 1. Denki invited her. And 2. To keep both him and Mineta in line with Tsu.
Unsurprisingly, the two perverts spotted some

Possession: The Curse and The Phantoms Contagion Chapter 8 By the time when Valerie, David, Eddie and I were on the outskirts around the town, we've searched everywhere and the more we searched, Valerie, David and I were dialing Scott's phone but somehow there was no calls back to either three of us. Which raises everyone's suspicions and everyone was about to freak out as if the people who are in this cult captured Scott and Margarita. "There has to be a lead somewhere..." I whispered to myself but to no one in particular, everyone is doing their best to pay attention to any moving shadow figures around town. Somehow I saw a few lightnin...

Alice: The Asylum. Chapter One
Chapter One The 14th of November was cold and windy. The wind howled and wailed through the trees. Alice stood in the middle of The Forest, feeling the wind whip around her. It tousled her short, blonde hair and the grass snaked around her ankles. Despite the dreary cold and the blustery wind, Alice stood in the middle of The Forest. She had always enjoyed the cold weather, she felt more alive in the old. The heat of summer nights had always made her feel oppressed. Alice closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind moving around her.
Opening her eyes, she saw not The Forest, but the beach with its endless waves and s...

Leo: Like breaking the light in house
Comet: My dad has backup light bulbs so that wont work
Leo: Hmm well spray paint the walls
Comet: My dad has camera everywhere around the house
Leo: Steal break or rip something that belongs to Sirius
Comet: I got a spanking for doing that yesterday to his space poster so it will be too obvious
Leo: Then i'm out of ideas I give up
Kochab: Why don't we break something that belongs to Perseus and leave all the evidence near Antares himself
Comet: *realizes* That sounds perfect but what should we do
Kochab: We get your dads wallet and steal the money and buy it on stuff that Antares would buy
Comet: That is awesome let do it
Kochab: Oh yeah this will be worth it
Chapter 11: The Plan
Comet: Alright so my dad is out and he forgot his wallet as always we will go in his room and make sure nobody is around to see and then we go to the gas station right across the street from us and buy the thing Antares would buy
Kochab: This is has got to be one of the most craziest thing i've ever done
Leo: Yeah so let's do this
Narrator: When they went inside

Narrator: At the Gas Station
Comet: Alright so we got Jolly Ranchers, Sweet Tea, and the wallet
Leo: Quick let's eat and drink all of this stuff while we're at it

Comet: Because once we are done with the eating and the drinking we leave the remains next to Antares and wait for the drama to start
Leo: *burps* Okay I think that enough tea
Kochab: *muching* And that's the last of the Jolly Ranchers don’t worry there is still some in there
Comet: Good I appreciate the hard work now I will do the rest
Kochab: Alright im going home tell me when it goes according to plan
Leo: Yeah same

Antares: *snoring*
Comet: *puts all the evidence in the room very slowly and closes the door* Phew now all I have to do is wait
Astery: Wait for what
Comet: WOAH what are you doing here
Astery: I was just gonna ask you if you wanted to draw with me and Sirius
Comet: No I have other plans especially one that involves a certain little someone
Astery: Umm okay?

Perseus: OH MY GOD
Sirius: That can’t be good
Astery: Come on lets see whats going on

Perseus: I doubt that Jolly Rancher candy wrappers everywhere and the half drunk bottle of sweet tea you sure did have a blast huh
Antares: I promise it wasn’t me
Sirius: What’s going on
Perseus: Just look everywhere and then look at Antares
Sirius: Yeah for letting Comet do all of this
Perseus: What are you talking about
Sirius: Dad I don't know if you realize this but Antares doesn't like sweet teas from gas stations like this one and these aren't his favorite Jolly Ranchers he likes the original ones
Perseus: Yeah I do supposed that is true so which one of you two did this
Astery: Umm Mr. Star you mean 3 *points up*
Perseus: *looks and sees Comet underneath the bed* Wow so you were the one who did this huh
Comet: No I was just here to do something else
Perseus: You 3 can leave I’ll handle this myself
Antares: Alright
Sirius: Okay
Astery: *walks away*
Perseus: You either be honest or the pedal will have to do it for you
Comet: mmm Fine I will admit it was me who did all of this
Perseus: Why do you always try to do things that will get you in trouble
Comet: Because I feel like doing the things that I do was that supposed to be a hard question

Comet: *sniff* Okay *closes his room door*
Astery: Wow he gets in trouble everyday huh
Sirius: Yeah im kinda used to it so I don't mind at all
Antares: *snoring*
Astery: Jesus does he always sleep like this
Sirius: Yeah he likes to take naps during the day since he likes to stay up all night
Comet: *sigh* I can’t be that problematic…..am I *looks at the ripped poster* *sigh* of course I am I need to stop but I don't know how hmmm
Chapter 4: Advice and Sorriness
Comet: Hey Umm Sirius I need some advice on how to be a better person
Sirius: So the person who is problematic, has anger issues, and likes to start drama finally asks me this question
Comet: *sigh* Yes
Sirius: Hmm well you should start by apologizing to the people you terrorized, try to calm yourself down before you start yelling at someone *coughs* Dad, and to make sure you think twice before you do something dumb
Comet: I guess I can do that but which step should I start first
Sirius: *raises his eyebrow*
Comet: I have a lot of apologizing to do don’t I
Sirius: When you think about all the things you did yeah you do have a lot of apologizing to do
Comet: Well for starters i'm sorry for taking your cookies and breaking the jar, and i'm sorry for ripping your space poster is there anything I can make up for you
Sirius: Well yes a lot of things you have to change me for a week, make my cookies, and you aren't allowed to go to my treehouse for the week
Comet: *sigh* Fine I guess I will do that
Sirius: Well *yawns* Imma take me a nap make sure you apologize to everyone else to *falls asleep*
Comet: *sigh Well I got nothing else to do alright let's get this over with *walks to Astery*
Astery: *terrified* H-h-hey can I help you with s-something
Comet: Well look I am sorry for scaring you when you came in the house yesterday while Sirius was getting changed is there anything I can do for you
Astery: Well yes *head pats Comet*
Comet: Uhhh okay *walks to Antares room* *knocks on his door*
Antares: Come on in the door is unlocked
Comet: Hey An-
Antares: What are you doing here
Comet: I came here to-
Antares: ?
Comet: Apologize for framing you earlier and making it seems like it was our fault is there anything I can do for you
Antares: Well yes I need you to help me clean up the mess you did, I did most of the cleaning so it wouldn’t be that hard to do the rest while I get my stuff ready for next week
Comet: *sigh I guess I have to do this* Okay I will
Narrator: 5 minutes later
Comet: Alright I am done with the cleaning can I leave now
Antares: Yes you can Comet and make sure to never frame me like that ever again
Comet: Okey *closes the door* alright it now I have to do the very last thing I need to do before I go to Step 2 of what Sirius told me to do *knocks on Perseus door*
Perseus: Come in kid
Comet: *nervous* H-h-hey dad
Perseus: And what are you doing here trying to test your little tricks to me
Comet: Well no I-I-I came here to apologize
Perseus: 😧!
Comet: I'm sorry for all the things I did yesterday of me stealing the cookie jar you gave to Sirius and breaking it, sorry for ripping the space poster you bought from grandpa which you gave to Sirius, and about today I’m sorry I stole your wallet and buying the sweet tea and the Jolly Ranchers it was apart of something me, Kochab, and Leo were planning to do. Is there anything you want me to do
Perseus: 😦
Comet: I understand if you’re going to spank me for all the things I told you I deserve it
Perseus: No you don't
Comet: Huh!?!?
Perseus: Yeah you don’t deserve a spanking because for the first time in a while you were being completely honest about the things you did and you apologized and that makes me happy that you are at least doing some progress on your behavior 
Comet: You you really think so
Perseus: *picks up Comet* Yes and I am very happy *bleps*
Comet: O-O *bleps at Perseus then closes his door* Alright what was step 2 was my behavior which I think I already did and step 3 was to make sure I didn't do anything dumb which I'm not gonna do because I know exactly what I do so I guess Im done huh
Sirius: *yawns* Comet
Comet: Yes Sirius?
Sirius: I need a change
Comet: *sigh* This is gonna be one long week
Narrator: Yes it is gonna be one long week and so was story you heard about a average Saturday with the Stars and one lucky visitor
Astery: *bleps at the frame*
Narrator: Aren't you a cute little guy, *ahem* anyways this all fold until next time with another tale of the Star family featuring Astery
The End
On a dark Sunday night, Dipper was busy sitting on the couch in his sleeping attire while holding his head on one arm as he died from boredom while he was watching another layman type of ghost hunting show. He sighed and moaned in annoyance as this so-called ghost-hunting crew would flail around when floorboards would squeak or when a tin can would fall off of a shelf. He thought that if it were him in that house, he would have already taken care of the problem, as long as he had Mabel or Pacifica by his side. Instantly while thinking this, Pacifica sauntered into the den, just out of the shower, hair somewhat damp and a few strands lay in...
