Arabella's POV

I was in the Man Cave with Henry, Jasper, and Charlotte. My dad was somewhere that isn't here, Mary's visiting Eden for the weekend with Violet, and Schwoz is not around. For some reason, the four of us were folding napkins and the boys were singing about it.

(No Mary and Violet this chapter)

They probably told us why, but I zoned out after the first ten seconds cuz I was bored.

"Right and left and up and in, folding napkins for the win!" The boys sang as they folded their napkins and Char and I stood there.

"Right and left and up and in, folding napkins for the win!"

"Love ya, man," Henry smiled at Jasper, who grinned.

"You too."

"Right and left-"

"We don't get it," Char and I finally spoke.

"So, you just go like this," Henry said and began to fold the napkin. "Right and left and up and in, folding napkins for the win!"

"No, we know how to fold napkins, we don't why we have to fold them," Char remarked and the boys groaned.

"It's for charity, girls," Henry rolled his eyes and showed us a pamphlet. "Napkins For The Needy."

"You can be part of the problem or part of the solution," Jasper added.

"Do you?" Henry asked us.

"Right," I sighed, "But how does folding napkins help the needy?"

"Oh my god," Henry chuckled at me and I glared.

"You don't think napkins are helpful?" Jasper asked.

"We do!" Charlotte exclaimed, "I just think we should give the needy basic things instead like clothes or food."

I nodded, "something they need for everyday life."

"Well, how are the needy supposed to wipe their mouths after they're done eating your precious food, ladies?" Henry retorted back and I raised my eyebrow.

Is this man serious?

"And do not say on their clothes," Jasper chimed in.

"Because that would ruin the clothes that you just gave them, I just-" Henry laughed.

"Think, girls!" Jasper said and Char and I shared a look of disbelief before we decided to join in with them.

"Right and left and up and in, folding napkins for the win!"

The elevator doors opened and my dad skipped in all happily.

"Hi dad!"

"Hey!"

"Wassup?!"

"Right and left and up and in, folding napkins for the wiiiii-" We stopped singing and yelled at my dad when he knocked the napkins off the table.

"Heyyyyy!" We yelled.

"Okay, fine, I'll tell you!" My dad beamed and I gave him a look.

"Now I gotta clean that up," I pouted.

"Tell us what?" Charlotte sighed with annoyance.

"I just booked mine and Mary's honeymoon in..." He paused for dramatic effect and my pout disappeared. "PARIS!!!"

All of us were shocked by this news and I cheered.

"That's awesome!"

"OMG!"

"WOW!"

"Congrats!!"

"I just need help with one thing to make this happen," my dad added. "I need Henry's help with guarding the Envygram well this weekend."

"What?" Henry asked with confusion.

"What's the Envygram Wall?"

We all jumped back when we heard Schwoz's voice and turned to find him crawling out of a large crate.

"Where'd you come from?" My dad asked him.

"I was napping in my horch when you guys woke me up," Schwoz complained, rubbing his eyes.

"The Envygram Wall is a mural that travels across the country," Henry explained.

"If you have ten thousand followers on your Envygram account, you can take a picture in front of the wall to make other people jealous," Charlotte continued and I grinned.

I have thirty thousand followers.

"I want to take my picture in front of the Envygram wall," Jasper muttered.

"See, that's how it works," I said.

"Henry and I have to guard the wall all weekend and make sure that only people with at least ten thousand Envygram followers take their picture in front of it," my dad explained as he read a magazine about Paris.

Henry groaned, "all weekend?"

"Forty-eight straight hours, yeah," my dad nodded.

"Nope, nope, nope, nope, I'm not doing that," Henry denied. "Airy and I have plans-"

"Hey!" My dad snapped and stopped him. "The money we get from guarding that wall will be just enough for me to take Mary to Paris."

"But I-"

"I want you on that wall, Henry," My dad cut him off. "I need you on that wall!"

"But I really don't-"

"Do not come between me and my future wife! I will end you!" My dad snarled and I grinned.

"Wow, nice," Henry said. "Real mature."

"Come on, Hen," Jasper said. "Ray needs a win."

"Yeah, he's been angry ever since that video of the bird pooping in his mouth went viral," I added on and Henry, Jasper, and Char laughed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Henry chuckled.

"And you will continue to forget about that or I will end you!" My dad threatened.

"Anybody want to watch the video?" Schwoz asked us moments later.

"Yes!" I beamed along with the others, besides my dad.

"All the time!"

"Please!"

We ignored my dad's calls as we went over to the monitor to watch the video.

"Schwoz! Don't you pull up that video or I will end you!"

Schwoz pulled up the video and I beamed at the sight of it playing.

"Captain Man, you've traveled through time, space, and even underground to keep Swellview safe." The reporter began and my dad smiled. "So, tell us, who's your favorite Spice Girl?"

"Uhhhh," My dad looked up just in time for a bird to fly by and drop a nasty one in his mouth.

The five of us laughed at his misery.

"This just in Captain Man's mouth... poop!" The reporter announced as my dad was holding his tongue and shooting lasers everywhere out of agony.

We continued to laugh until my dad spoke up.

"Stop laughing at me!" My dad cried and pulled out a large laser gun and we all panicked, jumping out of the way.

Henry grabbed me and moved me away from the blast that ricocheted off the monitor and hit my dad, who flew onto his back. Henry released me and I giggled at my dad.

"So, you finally lasered proofed the monitors, huh?" My dad asked Schwoz, who nodded.

"Yeah!"

"Good job," my dad praised him and leaned his head back.

"You okay with rescheduling our date for next week?" Henry asked me and I nodded with slight sorrow.

"It's fine," I told him and he kissed my head.

"I'm sorry," He apologized to me. "The cons of dating a superhero."

"There are no cons to dating you," I replied back to him with a warm smile and he returned one.

Guess I'll tell him next week then.

~Saturday~

Today was supposed to be mine and Henry's date, but he's busy with the Envygram wall. Not his fault and I'm not mad at him, I just wanted to tell him about the Juilliard thing. So, instead I'm hanging out with Charlotte and getting lunch with her because she knew I was upset and wanted to cheer me up. Also, I need my girl time, it's been a while since we've hung out without the guys around.

We were at a cute coffee shop a few blocks from the Man Cave and just talking.

"Did you take your picture in front of the Envygram Wall?" Charlotte asked me and I nodded, showing her my very extra picture that I posted.

Envygram

bellamanchester: just ya girl flexing with the Envygram wall. be jealous peasants😎

Charlotte chuckled and pulled out her phone to like and comment on it.

"Cant believe you have over thirty thousand followers," she said and I shrugged.

"Being friends with Kid Danger and performing on Swellview's Got Talent helps," I smile and she chuckles.

"True."

"I wish Henry didn't have to guard the wall today," I sighed, playing with my fork on the table.

"What? You don't wanna hang with me?" Char asked in a jokingly matter and I grinned.

"I do, Char," I say and she smiles. "I was gonna tell him something important, but now I can't."

"What did you wanna tell him?" She asked me and I averted my eyes for a moment hesitate on telling her.

"Well," I began and took a breathe. "I was offered a full scholarship to Juilliard."

I heard Char gasp at this and I looked up to see her beaming.

"Seriously?" She asked and I nodded, feeling incredibly nervous. "That's amazing."

"I know!" I exclaimed with frustration. "That's the problem, I want to take this offer, but Henry-"

"You have plans with Henry," she finished for me and I nodded.

"I'm so torn between the two." I remarked, "I've dreamed of this opportunity for so long, but I love Henry unconditionally and want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"I can't make the decision for you and I don't want to," Charlotte began and she took my hand. "Want me to be honest?"

"Always," I respond.

"I think you should meet the Principal and see the school," Charlotte honestly told me and I gave her a small smile.

"Really?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Bella, I love you so much, you have so much potential and this opportunity is a once in a lifetime experience," she told me and my smile grew. "Don't pass it up."

"But Henry-"

"Talk to him first," she told me and I nodded, sighing out.

"Okay," I said. "I hope he won't be mad."

"Henry can't get mad at you," Char grinned and I blushed. "He'll be supportive of this."

"I hope so..."

——

The following day, I woke up to Henry calling me and informing me that my dad blew the wall up.

....I'm honestly not surprised.

Now, Charlotte was trying to replicate the wall, so we can grow the painting into the size of the wall and put it back without anyone noticing that it as blown up.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Henry asked me over the phone. "I can't watch these influencers teach your dad how to take the perfect selfie anymore."

I groaned at that. God, I hate all those social media influencers, so fake and self-care invested. No one cares about your three-hour self-care routine, James.

"Okay, first step, Jasper and I are gonna sneak behind the curtain with Schwoz's Super Sucker and get rid of all the rumble from the old wall," I began as Jasper picked up the Grow Bro 3000.

"Noice!" Henry said and I watched Jasper hand Schwoz the other part and I placed the tiny gummy bear on the stand in front of me.

"Once we're out of the way, Schwoz will put the miniature version of the wall in place and use the GrowBro 3000." I continued and Schwoz picked up the Grow Bro 3000.

"What's the Grow Bro 3000?" Henry asked me.

"It makes things grow, bro," I grinned before Schwoz used the machine on the gummy bear and it made it grow into a life-size gummy bear.

My smile grew widely and Jasper was mesmerized by the delicious candy. He pushed us out of the way and hugged the gummy bear, which made me giggle.

"Sweat! See ya soon, princess!" Henry told me and I made a noise of uncertainly.

"Ehh, we might be a while, cuz Char needs more time recreating the skunk butter moose mural," I explained and Char gave me a shrug. I didn't even notice that Jasper had began eating the gummy bear until now.

"It's gonna take a while, unfortunately," Char told me and I sighed, waiting for Henry to answer.

"You need to hurry," Henry told me a minute later and I made a face.

"We need to hurry," I told Char and she turned to us.

"We gotta go!" She told us and our eyes landed on Jasper, who was eating the foot of the gummy bear. My jaw dropped when I noticed he had eaten the entire gummy bear. "Jasper, did you just eat that whole gummy bear?"

He nodded with a sick look on his face, "I'm gonna throw up."

"Over there, away from me," I pointed toward Schwoz, who run up to him with the Super Sucker.

"Here! Do it in the Super Sucker!" Schwoz offered and Jasper put his mouth around the machine and did his vomiting into it.

I grimaced and turned away, grabbing my sweater so we can leave as soon as we can.

——

We arrived at the Envygram Wall and I saw many influencers, who I recognized, but I didn't acknowledge cuz they make me cringe like a raisin. I saw #BOOSHDAG and immediately wanted to shoot myself cuz he's the cringest of them all. Two hundred million people follow that person and I question every day if those people still have their sanity in check.

Cuz he doesn't.

"Are we too late?" Char asked my dad and Henry, who walked over to us.

"I threw up," Jasper randomly said and I rubbed his back.

"He ate a giant gummy bear," I told them and Henry blinked.

"Okay, uh, go suck up the rumble from the first wall," Henry instructed us.

"We need a distraction," Char told them.

"On it," My dad said. "I'll put on a pirate hate and climb up that tree. Once I'm up there, I'll come up with a better plan."

I facepalmed.

"Then, you two, switch clothes-"

"#BOOSHDAG is here! He approaches!"

This made everyone focus their attention away from us and this gave Jasper and me time to rush over to rumble and suck it up.

Once we finished, we pop out of the curtain and motioned Char and Schwoz to us and they rushed over. I completely blocked out what was happening around us, cuz I didn't care.

Jasper and I ran back over and leaped over the fence like nothing happened. I ignored booshdag and noticed a commotion going on behind the curtain, which meant that the wall had grown in place of the destroyed one.

I noticed Jasper looking like he was about to pass out and I rubbed his arm.

"Want me to talk you to the doctor?" I offered him and he nodded.

"I wasn't gonna take no for answer anyway," I remarked and led Jasper away from the scene.

I just didn't want to be there anymore, cuz it was filled with a sea of cringe.

——
-One Hour Later-

About an hour later, I returned home and saw Henry in the store by himself. Jasper was okay, just ate too much gummy bear and needed to rest for the day.

Knowing Jasper, he's gonna do that again in the future.

"Hey, where did you go? I called you," Henry asked me and I approached him with a smile.

"Took Jasper to doctor," I told him and his face got filled with concerned. "He's fine! Just the gummy bear!"

He seemed relieved and sat down on the stool at the counter.

"It's still the afternoon, we can go do something," Henry suggested, pulling me onto his lap and I blushed.

"What you have in mind?" I asked him with a grin and he placed his chin my shoulder.

"Ice cream date?" He asked me with puppy dog eyes and I giggled patting his cheek.

"Yes, sweetheart," I nodded and he beamed, before we both got up and headed for the door.

"Airy," Henry stopped and he turned to me, taking my hands and I instantly got worried.

"What?" I asked and he squeezed my hands.

"Just wanted to say how lucky I am to be with you," he told me sincerely and I gave him a warm smile, staring into his beautiful eyes. "I can't wait for the future and all the plans we have in store for us. Just you and me and maybe little you and me's running around as well. I love you, princess."

He kissed my head and I blushed, giggling.

"I love you more," I tell him and he gives me one more smile, before leading me out the door and I let out a quiet sigh.

That just royally screwed over my decision. I don't know what to do now.

Henry or my career?

Up Next: Holiday Punch🎄🔥

I got lazy at the end and cut out the last five minutes of the episode, but made up for it with the ending I put in. Seems like Bella's decision is a lot more difficult now, what will she do?

A dress has been chose. and it's the dress I thought would win, so that made me happy. Wedding chapter very soon with a special guest or two :)

The fact that I'm writing the Christmas episode/chapter when Christmas is in three weeks is pretty cool. Totally meant for this to happen, yep, totally.

This is the only Christmas related chapter happening, just making that clear. Someone asked for another chapter, but I'm not doing that. Sorry.

If there's any delays, it's because I'm finishing finals, projects, and essays for this semester of college. Once I'm on my break, I'm gonna update hopefully more frequently.
