So, on tumblr there was an event held by snowflake-apocalypse and ml-cartoons over the last week (or maybe two weeks ago now? I can't remember), and these are the things I wrote for it.

Fandom: Carmen Sandiego

Day 1: Cringe

Carm, do we have any capers asked ivy and zack somehow simeltanous and at the same time fheh were bounci g around at the same time so energetic that it was hard to see what they were doing though carmen didnt mind because she liked them and they were like family toher because she didn't know any other family. 

Yeah, carmen told them with a small nod smiling kind at her two friends and family like people that she had on her tesm.we need to stop vile right now before theh steal the jewels at the museum

Okay let's go zack yelled and he ran to the car and waited for the two females persons to get in before speeding off into the night and going to the mesum where the caper was going to take place 

** time skip cause lazy authors are totally in right now ** 

We are at the caper carmen told player.

Great he said ober the ear piece thing they used to talk to each other with heres some random information the author won't bother ti type 

Player that's breaking the fourth wall! Carmen gasped. I would expect this kind of thing from ivy and zack but you?????? 

Relax red it's supposed to be trash player said anyway go in there and stop vile 

Oh right carmen and ivy and zack went in to the museum plsce and ran into tigrees and others who shall not be named because the writer can't think of anyone else who matters. They faught for a vry long long long time and carmen was a total bad ass there is absolutely no description in this part because lazy authors rule son 

Anyway suddenly shadowsan appeared and helped team carmen because he is actually a good guy and not friends with vile and yeah the end 

Day 2: Maps & graphs

Agent Devineaux sat in his apartment, various charts -- pie charts, venn diagrams, etc etc. He had been obsessing over them for the past several hours -- so much so that his dark brown hair was now a wild, untamed mess, and his tie was coming loose, and the sleeves of his suit were all wrinkled. His eyes trailed along the charts, frantically searching for something, anything at all really, that might indicate a pattern. Everywhere Carmen Sandiego and her partners had gone, everything they had ever stolen -- and subsequently put back.

The charts showed a subtle decline in the overall crime rate, at least in the petty theft department. It didn't make much sense to  Devineaux, considering he had personally caught Carmen Sandiego - uh - red handed, multiple times. But that's what the data was telling him, and data never lied. 

Day 3: Out of context

Once Zack overheard his sister Ivy rambling to Player. He probably should have listened to the whole conversation before jumping to conclusions, but in his defense he was quite busy in the kitchen, preparing tacos for himself. So, he could only really focus on tiny bits and pieces anyway. 

Besides, he had gotten overly ecstatic when he heard Ivy let out a dramatic little sigh and say, "I love Carmen." Really that was the only thing he'd heard. At least, it was the only thing he bothered to remember, because as soon as those words left his sister's mouth he got to work. 

Zack found some spare boxes in his room that he and Ivy had yet to unpack; they were in charge of decorating the new HQ after all. He dragged the boxes to the kitchen, gaining some strange looks from his sister and the others as he passed by them, but he ignored them for the most part. He had a lot of work to do! 

Zack lit a candle at the center of the table after placing the fanciest cloth they had over the surface. He decorated the room with red, soft pink, and white hearts. Zack had even managed to spread a few rose petals across the floor (it had taken a little while to hunt the flowers down, but he managed). It took maybe ten to twenty minutes to finish it all, but his efforts were well worth it. 

Once that was done, Zack started preparing the meal -- pizza waffle fries. It didn't take long to cook; and soon he was placing the meal on the table and calling Carmen and Ivy in to enjoy their date… It didn't exactly go as expected. 

Carmen took one look around the room, raising a questioning eyebrow at her getaway driver. "Uh, what is all this, Zack?" 

"Well, Carm, it's for you and Ivy's date night," Zack told her, thinking they'd be happy about it. Instead, the duo blanched in surprise. 

Carmen blinked, while Ivy put her head in her hands. "Uh, come again?" 

"Why would you think we needed a date night?" Ivy asked. 

"Well, because I heard you tellin' Player how much you loved Carmen," Zack said. He was growing increasingly confused, especially when Carmen let out a soft "aww," and Ivy merely rolled her eyes at her brother. 

"Bro," Ivy said, starting to laugh now, "you took that way out of context!" 

"I did?" Zack asked. 

Ivy nodded. She put an arm around Carmen, smiling good naturedly. "Of course I love Carmen. But like a sista or a good friend. Not like a 'we need a romantic dinner.'" 

A smile small smile was tugging at Carmen's lips now as well; and Zack couldn't help laughing right along with the ladies at his own foolishness. They laughed for a good ten minutes straight, until Carmen declared, "Well, we're definitely not going to waste this food. Come on guys, let's dig in." And they all had a not-so-romantic-but-instead-very-nice-friendship-appreciation dinner…surrounded by roses, hearts, and candle light.

Day 4: Fluff/Wholesome

Antonio wasn't sure when exactly he had started to have feelings for Jean-Paul, and there was absolutely no way to pinpoint when Jean-Paul had started liking him back. (Or perhaps he had developed feelings first?) Regardless of when the emotions had been conjured up, Jean-Paul and Antonio had been in a happy relationship for several months now. 

They hadn't told anyone about their - erm - more in depth partnership, worried that it might cause complications among their other team members or that the facility might find it impractical. Besides, it was nice simply sharing a secret, just the two of them. It was just the two of them, forever and always. At least that's what they had promised each other that night on the rooftop when they had made their relationship official with one another.  

They had date nights often. In between capers, when the facility asked them to work together, when they should have been looking for whatever artifact they were sent to steal or stopping Carmen Sandiego and her friends. Little kisses and cuddles when no one was paying attention. Going out to romantic evening dinners, using it as a "cover" for their missions. 

Once Jean-Paul had even taken Antonio to Paris France, and they had visited the Eiffel Tower. The city had been an astonishing view, but it was nowhere near as beautiful as Jean-Paul, in Antonio's opinion. 

Day 5: Classic

"I'm about to end this man's whole career!" That was the first thing Carmen heard from Ivy as she and Shadowsan entered the HQ that afternoon. 

"Whoa, Ivy. That's a little harsh isn't it?" Carmen said. She took in her friends, who were prancing around the kitchenette area in the main room, goofily waving their arms around and talking nonsense. A computer was sitting open on the counter top, a video chat with Player in progress. Carmen raised an eyebrow at Ivy. "What's this poor guy ever do to you anyways?" 

"Yes, and who's career do you intend to ruin, exactly?" Shadowsan asked, equally as confused as Carmen. Ivy had never sounded so hostile before. 

Zack and Ivy shared a surprised look with one another, which only served to confuse Carmen and Shadowsan even more. Player stared at the ex VILE duo with a flabbergasted expression. "Wait. Really? You guys don't know about memes? Didn't you have internet on that island?"  

"We only used it for practical reasons," Shadowsan said. He could already tell from the sound of the word that these 'memes' were something dull and pointless for those with small attention spans (like Carmen's team) to occupy their minds.

Zack broke out into a huge grin, visibly getting excited as he stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Carmen (he attempted to do the same with Shadowsan, but the samurai brushed him off and moved away with a sour expression on his face). "Oh, we so have to teach ya about all the best memes! Like: Stars are just sky acne!" 

Ivy stifled a laugh and nodded enthusiastically, moving to Carmen's other side. "Yeah, yeah, or that one with Fry from Futurama!" She let out a soft giggle. Carmen had no idea what they were going on about, but it was nice to see them so chipper. 

Meanwhile, Shadowsan flashed them a mildly annoyed look, always presenting as a no nonsense type of guy; from the computer screen Player could be seen shaking his head as well. "Those are dead memes. We cannot show them those!" 

"Dead memes aren't dead," Ivy protested. From the context Carmen guessed she was quoting another meme. 

"They are known as..." Zack continued.

 The twins wrapped their arms around one another, speaking louder than necessary to finish whatever reference they were making. "Classic memes!" 

Player rolled his eyes, but there was a slight smile tugging on his lips. "Fine. We can start with the classic memes." He pulled up some crude pictures with various words edited on to them on the computer screen so Carmen and Shadowsan could see. The pictures -- memes apparently -- didn't really make a lot of sense to Carmen, and she could tell Shadowsan thought they were just stupid things; but the other three looked like they really enjoyed them. That was enough to make her smile.
