October 26th

Tumblr: I can't believe it's finally Halloween!!!

Edge: No, Halloween isn't until Monday. Today's October 26.

Tumblr: [aggressively] It's. Halloween.

Edge: Okay?

Yahoo: Trust me, it's just best to go along with whatever Tumblr says when it comes to Halloween.

Edge: Okay.  I just find it kind of odd for someone to start celebrating so early.

Yahoo: *laughing* You have no idea.

2 months earlier

Tumblr: [running down street outside Google's house in a full skeleton costume carrying a boombox blasting "Spooky Scary Skeletons Remix" at 2 a.m.] IT'S HALLOWEEN!

Yahoo: [opens window, tired] SHUT UP IT'S AUGUST!

1 month earlier

Tumblr: IT'S HALLOWEEN! [throws pumpkin off office roof, it just avoids hitting Yahoo]

Yahoo: IT'S SEPTEMBER!

Tumblr: It's Fall! That's enough! Speaking of fall, look out.

Another pumpkin falls. Yahoo looks into camera like she's on the office.

3 weeks earlier

Tumblr: IT'S HALLOWEEN!!!

Yahoo: It's October 1st. Halloween is the 31st.

Tumblr: I'm just trying to get in the spirit! Look at all these decorations Pinterest helped me make!

Yahoo: I must say it's impressive. Those spinning ghosts are certainly cute.

Tumblr: They do more than just spin. *flips switch* FLY, MY PRETTIES!

One of the ghosts does nothing. Two start spinning slightly faster. Another spins so fast it lifts off the ground, then falls over and breaks. The last one spins so fast it's just a blur, and lifts off towards the ceiling.

Yahoo: Are you sure that's safe?

Tumblr: Yahoo, when have I ever—[flying ghost catches on fire] Well... shit.

Yahoo: I knew this was a bad idea.

Tumblr: I guess you could say it back-fired!

Yahoo: *sigh* Just get me the fire extinguisher.

*theme song plays*

Back to October 26th

Twitter: Attention!!! There will be a Halloween Party/dance thing held here on Monday, October 31st. All employees are welcome to attend, costumes ar—

Fanfic: A Halloween Party?

Twitter: It's kind of like a school dance.

Fanfic: Last time I went to a school dance my crush's boyfriend locked me in a broom closet.

Twitter: Well, we don't have broom closets here, so I guess you're safe. Moving on, costumes are encouraged but not required, and if you're good at cr—

Wikipedia: [condescendingly] What kind of adult still dresses up on Halloween?

Tumblr: [offended] Who hurt you?

Twitter: Anyway, if you're good at crafts, consider signing up to help decorate. Ohmigosh, did I really just get a full sentence in without being int—

Facebook: At this point, you're just asking for us to interrupt you.

Twitter: *sighs* This is my invitation, take it or leave it. #Party. *leaves*

Wikipedia: So, are any of you going to that lame excuse of a party?

Wattpad: I thought you liked Twitter.

Wikipedia: Not as a date! I don't have to agree with everything that mess of a website says.

Tumblr: Look who's talking.

Wikipedia: I take it you'll be attending this congregation of bad ideas?

Tumblr: Hells yeah! This is the one day a year I can cosplay at work! I better make it count. What about you, Fanfic?

Fanfic: I guess. Couldn't hurt.

Wikipedia: *laughing quietly* Agree to disagree.

October 27th

Tumblr and DevA are sitting in the break room. DevA's drawing. 

Fanfic: Hey Tumblr?

Tumblr: What is it this time?

Fanfic: Sorry. I mean, if you're busy—

Tumblr: When am I ever busy? Whatcha need?

Fanfic: I'm not sure whether I want to wear a costume to Twitter's thing or not. Are you?

Tumblr: Of course! I'm either going as a character from Steven Universe, or a character from Hamilton. I haven't decided yet.

Fanfic: What about you, DevA?

DevA: I'm going as my gemsona! [DevA opens a folder with hundreds of drawings of herself as a gem, Fanfic walks over to get a closer look] Her name's Laboridite, she's a member of blue diamond's court, her gem is on her left arm, and her weapon is a spear.

Fanfic: I guess if I went as a SU character we could do a group costume? Who should I be?

Tumblr: If you were still dating Wattpad you'd be perfect as Sapphire—

DevA: Tumblr, be sensitive!

Fanfic: It's fine. So, if I'm not Sapphire, who should I be?

Tumblr: Probably Peridot. But I don't know anyone who could—

Tumblr stops talking. Footsteps can be heard in the distance.

Tumblr: Oh no.

DevA: You've summoned her.

Fanfic: Here she comes.

Pinterest: *bursts through door* DID I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT A DIFFICULT TO MAKE COSTUME???

*

Wattpad is writing a One Direction fanfiction.

...Kylie Jones couldn't help but notice the handsome stranger staring at her with orbs full of pure grey-

Wattpad: Is it grey or gray? 

Wikipedia: Depends on whether you're British or American. Since we're Americans we spell it gray.

Wattpad: Actually I was born in Canada.

Wikipedia: Really? But you're too pretty to be Canadian!

Wattpad: What's that supposed to mean?!

Wikipedia: Nothing, nothing.

Wattpad: I have to write something. What is it in Canada?

Wikipedia: [completely seriously] Grehy.

Wattpad: *laughing* Okay, seriously. [a pause] You don't actually believe that, do you?

Wikipedia: Tumblr said-

Wattpad: Tumblr was joking.

Wikipedia: I'm almost certain she wasn't.

Wattpad: Never mind, Google's walking over here. I'll just ask him.

Wikipedia: I'm pretty sure—

Wattpad: Hey Google! Can I ask a question?

Google: Go ahead.

Wattpad: What's the rule for grey vs. gray in Canada?

Google: Well, a while back, Tumblr made a post saying grEHy...

Wikipedia: See?

Google: But in all seriousness, since Canada is part of the British commonwealth, I'd say grey. Just follow the same rules you would for color/colour and center/centre.

Wattpad: Thank you Google!

Wikipedia: *mumbling* My way's funnier.

Wattpad: Btw, are you going to the Halloween Party on Monday?

Google: Yeah. Yahoo signed us up to chaperone. I don't know what kind of party for adults still needs chaperones, but I imagine it'll still be fun.

Wattpad: Cool!

Wikipedia: Let me guess: You're going to that gathering of lowlifes too?

Wattpad: Definitely! I might even dress up!

Wikipedia: Ew. As what?

Wattpad: The Pinvengers are all going as SU characters, so I thought maybe I could go as Ruby and Fanfic could be Sapphire?

Google: Aw.

Wikipedia: No. No! I may have only seen one episode of that god awful show, but I know for a fact that Ruby and Sapphire are in love, and they form Garnet, and Garnet sings a bad*ss song while she defeats Jasper, who did nothing wrong tbh.

Wattpad: Jasper is a morally complex character who has done many wrong things, even if she gets a redemption arc.

Wikipedia: Whatever. Just don't go as "Rupphire".

Wattpad: Then I'll be something else. But I'm still going.

Wikipedia: Fine.

Google: See you there then.

Wattpad: Bye!

October 28

Myspace is sarcastically singing Happy Birthday to himself as he floats around the office.

Edge: Happy Birthday!

Myspace: Why do you say that?

Edge: You were just—

Myspace: It's almost been my first full year on earth since I died, so in a way it's a second birthday. That's why I asked Twitter to throw the Halloween party.

Edge: Okay that explains it. I thought another reason you'd like Halloween would be because you never have to worry about a costume.

Myspace: Why?

Edge: 'Cuz you're a ghost!

Myspace: Don't patronize me.

Pinterest is finishing sewing a Peridot costume in her tab. Tumblr is next to her, spinning in a swivel chair and talking to herself.

Tumblr: Hamilton or SU... Hamilton or SU...

Pinterest: Have you decided on a costume yet?

Tumblr: No, and it's exhausting! I've gotten into way too many fandoms this year, it's a wonder I was able to narrow it down to these 2.

Pinterest: Any particular characters come to mind for either?

Tumblr: For SU I like Amethyst. And Pearl. And Garnet and Sardonyx and Smokey Quartz and Jasper and Yellow diamond and Stevonnie and—

Pinterest: That's enough. What about Hamilton.

Tumblr: Angelica is the best, but what if I want to be part of the main squad? What if I want to be from act 2?

Pinterest: Well, let me know soon. I'm almost done with Fanfic's Peridot.

Tumblr: Of course, there's also so many outfit changes in SU too. Amethyst's form has changed 3 times! And how can I choose between tuxedo Pearl and Rebel Pearl and waitress Pearl and—

Pinterest: Tumblr, can you keep it down so I can focus?

Tumblr: Not unless you have any ideas! Am I doomed to never cosplay again due to indecision? Only time will tell.

October 29th

It is Saturday. Only a few of the websites are at work, all because they're working on stuff for the Halloween party. Instagram is talking to Twitter at Twitter's tab.

Instagram: You should tell her.

Twitter: Why?

Instagram: Do you really think she'd miss a Halloween Party?

Twitter: She might?

Instagram: She's spent her entire time here trying to fit in, what do you think?

Twitter: Um, maybe she could find another possible way to connect with us????? Not everything has to be all about the Halloween Party, and I would th—

Instagram: She literally bought a witch costume and proceeded to wear it around until her dad told her to stop.

Twitter: Maybe it was for a different party?

Instagram: No, Twitter. You—Crap! Here she comes! *ducks under Twitter's desk*

Twitter: No!!!!! Don't leave ne alone with her!!!!! I don't—like—confrontation!!!!! How can you expect me, of all people, to be able to kindly tell h—

Edge: Hello Twitter! What's up?

Twitter: Oh, hi Edge!

Edge: Any new news about the Halloween Party? Wait, that's fun to say. New news... new news... new—

Twitter: Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Edge: Listen, I am so psyched up to go! I mean, the last time I was invited to a party was way back in 6th grade.

Twitter: Yeah. Hope to see you there!

Edge: Thanks, you too! *walks away saying "new news" over and over*

Instagram glares at Twitter from under her desk.

Twitter: You try saying no to that kid.

*

Across the island of desks, we see Pinterest passing out a few finished costumes.

Pinterest: Okay, DevA, I finished my interpretation of these... rather elaborate drawings of your OC.

DevA: *takes costume* She is a smol cinnamon roll.

Pinterest: And here's your Peridot, Fanfic. I can help you turn your hair temporarily green if you want, too.

Fanfic: On the show it looks more blonde. But wow, thanks.

Pinterest: And Tumblr, I really need you to make a decision. I may have sewing powers that transcend human comprehension but there's only so much I can do in one weekend.

Tumblr: I'm sorry! I just can't choose!

Pinterest: Would it help if I had you take a personality qui—

Tumblr, Fanfic, and DevA: NO!

Pinterest: Why? I thought you all liked—

Buzzfeed: *runs  and jumps on top of Tumblr's desk* WHICH CRYSTAL GEM ARE YOU BASED ON YOUR ZODIAC SIGN - TAKE THE QUIZ NOW!

Quotev: *runs up after her* No! You're in charge of news! I'm in charge of quizzes!

Buzzfeed: You wish!

Buzzfeed and Quotev argue.

Tumblr: I tried to warn you.

Pinterest: I know, I know. Sorry.

*

October 30th

It's Sunday, which means the websites don't have work today. Tumblr is asleep, but hears someone in her room. Her eyes open a little, and she sees a red, brown, and blue blur. She closes her eyes again then snaps them open and sees Pinterest staring back at her. She screams.

Pinterest: Hi Tumblr!

Tumblr: Pinterest!? What are you doing here?!

Pinterest: I thought we could spend the day working on ideas for your costume.

Tumblr: You could've at least called ahead or something!

Pinterest: Why would I need to call ahead when I've already got my own copy of your key?

Tumblr: WHAT?

Pinterest: Never mind. So, do whatever is is you do in the morning, even though it is technically mid afternoon,  then meet me downstairs and we can discuss ideas! *exits downstairs*

Tumblr: *sighs and exits downstairs*

*

Pinterest: Let's get down to business—

Tumblr: TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!

Pinterest glares at Tumblr

Tumblr: Sorry, I had to.

Pinterest: Anyway, let's start by narrowing it down to 1 character from each fandom.

Tumblr: Fine.

Pinterest: So, who do you like from SU?

Tumblr: Well there's—

Pinterest: Maybe I should rephrase the question as who are you going to dress up as?

Tumblr: Ugh, I like the aesthetics of all the characters, but I think I could get the most done as a fusion.

Pinterest: Alright, let's focus on the fusions. We have Opal, Sugulite, Sardonyx, Rainbow Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Alexandrite, Malachite—

Tumblr: I know who the fusions are. But Idk, I guess I'd want to be a fusion with crystal gems [Pinterest writes that down], who is powerful but not crazy [Pinterest writes that down], and highly unstable [Pinterest also writes that down].

Pinterest: I think the one who suits that best is Alexandrite.

Tumblr: Makes sense.

Pinterest: What about for Hamilton?

Tumblr: Like I said before, I'm totally Angelica, but I think I'd probably have to go with Hamilton, because if I'm anyone else only about 5 people will get it.

Pinterest: That narrows it down plenty. I guess you'll just have to choose between your fandoms now.

Tumblr: Okay thanks. [thinking out loud] Alexandrite or Hamilton... Alexandrite or Hamilton... Alexandrite... Hamilton... Wait! [whispers something to Pinterest]

Pinterest: Awesome! I'll get working on that right away. I knew you'd come up with something creative!

Tumblr: Ha ha, thanks.  *takes long sip from drink* Now get the hell outta my house.

Pinterest: Yes ma'am.

*

October 31st

Tumblr: IT'S HALLOWEEN!!!

Yahoo: For once, that statement is actually true. Now, help me set up for the party. 

Tumblr: I'll get—

Yahoo: No. Ghosts.

Tumblr: Fine. It's not like I'll want anyone to be distracted from my amazing costume.

Yahoo: Sure.

Tumblr: Wanna know what my costume is?

Yahoo: You're going to tell me no matter what I answer.

Tumblr: Yep. *whispers something to Yahoo*

Yahoo: I like it. Nice wordplay. 

Tumblr: Thanks!

*

Edge is wearing her witch costume again and practically skipping around the office.

Edge: Only 2 more hours until the Halloween Party!!!

Instagram: [to Twitter] This is your last chance to tell her, or else we'll be stuck with that all afternoon.

Twitter: I know. [yells to get her attention] Edge!

Edge: *skips over* Hello again Twitter! Need something?

Twitter: I'm sorry, Edge, but... You're not invited.

Edge: What?

Instagram: You're not allowed to go to the Halloween party.

Edge: I thought it was open to everybody?

Twitter: Well, it is...

Instagram: Just not to you.

Twitter: We took a vote, and the majority of our employees would be happier if you weren't here. Don't take it personally.

Edge: That's fair. I'll just... stay in my office or something.

Instagram: Thank you so much. Bye!

Edge: Oh, bye, I guess.

*

The party is in full swing. Edge isn't there, per request. DevA's Laboridite costume is flawless, and Fanfic's just sitting in the corner typing on her computer, which I guess is what Peridot would've done anyway. Pinterest, who is dressed as a gumball machine, is trying to find Rebecca, who's just dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans.

Pinterest: Rebecca, get back here!

Yahoo: [talking to Rebecca] Hi there! What's your name?

Rebecca: Rebecca Sharp.

Pinterest: [finds Rebecca, runs to her] I told you not to wander off like that!

Yahoo: Hey Pinterest! Is this the niece you're always telling me about?

Pinterest: Yep! It's her birthday today. Do you want to tell Miss Yahoo how old you are, Rebecca?

Rebecca: Thirteen.

Pinterest: No, Rebecca! She's nine.

Yahoo: Cool. So what are you dressed as?

Rebecca: A serial killer.

Yahoo: But you're not wearing a costume?

Rebecca: Serial killers look like ordinary people just like you and me.

Yahoo: Okay then.

Rebecca: The true horror story is the fact that most people blame mass shootings on mental health problems but refuse to offer any help to mentally ill people unless they're dangerous, and even then it's not help, but rather treating people like animals.

Yahoo: Oh. [awkwardly points at headband with cat ears] I'm dressed as a cat.

Pinterest: [also awkwardly] Let's get you some cake.

They walk away. Across the room Tumblr walks in wearing a costume that looks like Alexandrite in a revolutionary war military uniform.

Fanfic: What are you?

Tumblr: ALEXANDRITE HAMILTON!

[Applause]

Tumblr: Thank you, thank you. Now, I need to see how the others are. Pinvengers, assemble!

Pinterest, DevA, Quotev, and Instagram run to join them.

Tumblr: Why is Quotev here?

Quotev: Writing research.

Fanfic: Is that your excuse for everything?

Quotev: It is if the thing I'm doing is writing research.

Tumblr: Anyway, Pinterest's a gumball machine, DevA's Laboridite,

DevA: *does diamond salute*

Tumblr: What's Quotev?

Quotev: A character from TUC.

Tumblr: You mean The Underland Chronicles? Oh yeah. You're such a beautiful Queen Luxa! What are you, Instagram?

Instagram: My selfie that I took last week at 3:42 p.m. #nofilter

Tumblr: That's everyone. Now, have you guys heard what Twitter's been saying? She says they're getting a new voice actor but Idk who she'd voice. I mean, we're all set up for...

Tumblr continues talking, but Fanfic's not really paying attention. Out of the corner of her eye she sees Wattpad in a Lapis Lazuli costume.

Fanfic: BRB, Tumblr, okay?

Tumblr: Okay.

Fanfic walks over to try to talk to Wattpad.

Fanfic: Hey. I like your costume.

Wattpad: Thanks. I'm Lapis Lazuli.

Fanfic: Did you wear it to coordinate with us?

Wattpad: Yeah. I was gonna be Ruby, but... 

[awkward silence]

Wattpad: How are you handling things? Now that... y'know...

Fanfic: It hasn't been great [a pause] But I'll get better.

Wattpad: Well that's good.

Fanfic: So, um, I like this song...

Wattpad: You want to dance, don't you?

Fanfic: *nods nervously*

Wattpad: I'd love to!

Wattpad leads Fanfic to the dance floor and they dance for a while, talking and laughing. Eventually they join back up with the Pinvengers, and playfully debate what their favorite types of fanfiction are, but the rest of the night Wattpad and Fanfic stay together, inseparable, as if they're meeting again for the first time. Until this happens.

Wikipedia: [not wearing costume, walks over to Spotify] Give me the microphone.

Spotify: [DJ-ing] Nope. This is one of my favorites, and I don't want to ruin anyone's night.

Wikipedia: Well, I do. Give me the microphone.

Spotify: No!

Wikipedia: GIVE ME THE MICROPHONE!

Spotify: NO! *makes music louder*

Wikipedia: Fine, then I'll take it.

Wikipedia grabs the microphone, which stops the music. Spotify reaches for it, but Wikipedia holds it just out of her reach. Spotify swears loudly.

Wikipedia: My apologies, everyone, for disturbing this... charming occasion. I just wanted to say, I dedicate this next song to my new girlfriend—

Wattpad: [with fear in her eyes] Oh no...

Wikipedia: [staring directly at Fanfic, smirking] Wattney. Jennifer. Patterson.

Almost everyone gasps and stares at Wattpad and Fanfic.

Tumblr: PLOT TWIST!

Wattpad: [embarrassed] I am so so sorry, Fanfic! I meant to tell you, but we—

Fanfic: [trying not to cry] No, it's fine. I'm fine! I just need to go... *runs away from the party*

*

Fanfic runs into Edge's office and slams the door, crying. She sits down against the door, head in her hands.

Edge: What's wrong?

Fanfic: Aah! Why are you all in here?

Aside from Fanfic and Edge, Quotev, Cortana, and Facebook are also sitting on the floor of Myspace's office.

Edge: None of us could go to the Halloween Party.

Fanfic: Why? I thought it was open to everyone.

Facebook: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm here because it's the one place Myspace isn't.

Fanfic: Can't he float through walls?

Edge: Yeah but he's scared of me.

Quotev: Not so much scared as really freaking annoyed.

Fanfic: I thought you were at the party earlier, Quo?

Quotev: Nobody gets me. They couldn't even figure out my costume!

Fanfic: But Quotev, you're a beautiful Queen Luxa!

Quotev: I'm not Luxa! *puts on rat mask* I'm Twitchtip.

Fanfic: Okay then. What about you, Cortana?

Cortana: *whispering to Fanfic* Edge won't let me leave. She must think I'm her friend or something.

Fanfic: But why is she here in the first place?

Edge: Oh, funny story: Apparently not a single website wants me here, so I decided to stay in my office so I'd be out of their way. I don't know why this wasn't my plan from the beginning. I mean, what sane person would willingly want to be my friend?

Fanfic: Wow. That sucks.

Edge: I'll get over it. What brought you here?

Fanfic: Oh, nothing. I'm fine.

Edge: But you were—

Fanfic: I'm. Fine.

*

Yahoo, Google, Pinterest, Tumblr, DevA, Wikipedia, and Wattpad are cleaning up after the party. Everybody's mad at Wattpad and/or Wikipedia.

Wattpad: I still don't understand why you did that.

Wikipedia: You and that girl were getting a bit too... flirtatious for my taste.

Wattpad: She's my friend. And you know that ended weeks ago!

Wikipedia: I'm not taking any chances. You're mine now, not hers.

Wattpad: No, I'm my own. I don't belong to anyone.

Wikipedia: Agree to disagree.

Wattpad hears someone talking, it is unclear who.

Person: I can't believe the office is just going to be full of boring straight people! Who will we ship now?

Wattpad: Excuse me, who said that? [nobody answers] Well, I hope whoever said that knows that just because I'm dating a boy now doesn't mean I'm straight. Bisexual literally means attracted to multiple genders, not just boys. I shouldn't have to prove my sexuality by being in a relationship, and neither should all the other LGBT+ people here. And if you guys really need another wlw couple to ship, I heard Pandora's thinking of asking Spotify out.

Wikipedia: Babe, calm down.

Wattpad: Don't call me babe. This is an issue that's important to me, and it should be important to you too.

Wikipedia: *rolling his eyes* Agree to disagree

A/N Well that was... something.

Before I get to what just happened at the Halloween Party, I want to say thank you for 550 reads and over 100 comments! I love you guys!

Also, did you guys like part 1 (before the Halloween Party screwed everything up)? This episode was largely modeled after 2 episodes of season 1: Episodes 11 & 18, which were some of our fan favorites (and my favorites too)

Now, to address the Halloween Party: I am sorry. I, too, wish that Watfic could be a relationship that was 100% perfect and stayed together every episode and was beautiful every time Fanfic and Wattpad were onscreen together. 

But that's not what makes a good story, and that's also not realistic. Love isn't a fluffy coffee shop AU starring your OTP. Love is messy, love is difficult, love is something we take for granted, and most of us at times don't feel we deserve it even though you certainly do.

I cannot tell you what will happen these next few episodes, but I will reiterate what I said in my ridiculously long A/N after episode 4: 

"So now we sit here, the ship that literally changed my life gone, and at least one of us crying (I'll give you a hint: It's me), and an A/N almost as long as the chapter behind us, and I'm here to give you a ray of hope: Watfic will be canon again. Maybe not next week, maybe not a month from now, but by the end of 2016, Watfic will be back."

(And also if you even doubt for a second that I love this ship read the A/N on Episode 4 because that's literally just me crying about Watfic for 16 paragraphs)

"But Jessamine!" you say, "You're not doing this to Yahoogle! Yahoogle's getting a happy fairy-tale storyline!"

Well, in some ways you are right. But at the same time, that's because Yahoogle's more of a background story right now, and Watfic, or lack thereof, is what the readers are meant to focus on right now, specifically some not-so-subtle symbolism I'm throwing at you all here.

Also, if any of you ship whatever Wikipedia & Wattpad's ship name is you're dead to me (no offense).

Stay golden web fans!

(p.s. My 14th birthday is on Monday! I'll probably be having a party on the Tumblr blog! Also, if any of you want to draw you fave character & their costume, I'll post it to the blog)
