Intro

Mr. Wolf: Yeah! I'm bad!

Mr. Snake: You're bad!

Ms. Tarantula: He's bad!

Mr. Hornet: She's bad!

Mr. Piranha: We're bad!

Mr. Shark: Who's bad?

The Bad Guys: Yeah!
We're the Bad Guys!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, after a peaceful movie night last night, the Bad Guys didn't have a good morning. Despite the good movie night and having Hornet back home alive last night, they couldn't get over that trauma and almost lost Hornet, their very good friend. Even Hornet couldn't forget what happened last night. He died in just a couple of minutes, and came back to life again. It was a weird experience to face death, and came back alive again. Another weird part was he got his first kiss with Piranha. He tried to forget that part too, but it was still stuck in his head, even in his dream. It was the best experience ever, but it was also awkward because he kissed his best friend. Piranha didn't get much sleep either. Not only he had his best friend dead in his hands, and watched him live again, but also he kissed him. Darn, Hornet was so small, but it was romantic. Kissing him was a good experience, but seeing Hornet's tired but unhappy face, Piranha was afraid that Hornet might regret what happened between them last night. Snake, Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet were sitting on the couch, and Wolf stood in front of them.

"Morning, guys," Wolf declared, but no one seemed to respond because it was a bad morning for all Bad Guys. Wolf cleared his throat, and said, "As you know, we still haven't got over what happened last night," he then eyed the guilty and upset Hornet, who knew what Wolf was referring to, "On the bright side, we had our movie night, and, most importantly, we got Hornet back, alive and well, and hopefully it stayed that way."

"Don't worry, guys. As long as I still have my gem here, I think I'm alright," Hornet said while exposing his cracked life gem.

"But, if you die again, we'll revive you again with the power of friendship...! With our tears," Shark squealed, feeling touched by how Hornet came back to life that night.

"Shark, I appreciate that, but it's ridiculous. Plus, it was not guaranteed it might happen again if my life gem was off again," the little insect said,

"What about that crack in that gem?" Tarantula pointed to the tiny crack.

"Well, it didn't affect me overnight, and didn't flicker, so I think it'll be fine."

"That's good, Hornet," Wolf told him before telling the rest of the Bad Guys, "And since last night was a bit traumatic, why don't we go out, you know, get our mind off of things."

"That's great, Wolf, but I don't think we need this," Tarantula said.

"Trust me, we all need this," as the rest of the Bad Guys were confused, Wolf took out his phone, and scrolled the screen, "I think we can go to..." he showed the picture of a beach resort, "Avalon!"

The other Bad Guys gasped in surprise.

"Avalon? That is in Santa Catalina Island. Do we really need to go there? There were so many beaches in California," Snake said as he slithered from the couch, and towards Wolf.

"Snake, we need to get out of the city for a while, and Santa Catalina Island is the place we needed to get our mind off of... what just happened last night," Wolf explained, "The city here is too crowded, and people know much about us here. And if some of us want to go, well, getting a ferry won't be easy."

The other Bad Guys were unsure if they need to go to a beach resort for a vacation just to unwind and relax after what happened last night. Last night was a disaster, and not the night they expected. They did want to feel better, but a vacation on the beach? Would that be the best option? The Bad Guys glanced at each other if a beach vacation would be the right way to relax.

"Well, we do need someplace to stay away from here after what happened," Tarantula said.

"Alright. I think I need a little vacation too," Hornet admitted.

"Me too," Shark added.

"I'm a little stressed since last night, so... I'm in," Snake said.

Now Piranha had thought about it, this vacation might be his chance to make up to Hornet for almost failing to save him..., and for kissing him. It was one of the most awkward things the two had ever done since they weren't in a relationship yet, and they just... kissed. Maybe this vacation would distract Hornet and him from that awkward moment, and everything would go back to normal, "Alright, hermano, I think I need this one too."

"Yeah! Are we all in this together?" Wolf rubbed his paws together excitingly as he put one of them in the middle.

The other Bad Guys put their hands/tail/legs together. Operation: Vacation is a go!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bad Guys drove all the way to Long Beach as it was the nearest beach to reach Santa Catalina Island. They took a ferry boat all the way to the Santa Catalina Island. They didn't want to waste their fun on a cruise. They wanted to save their fun at the resort. They rode the ferry boat for just an hour, and they made it to the island.

The Bad Guys arrived at the Hotel Metropole. They got themselves a parking space for their car, and rushed into the entrance. Wolf, Shark, and Tarantula took a couple of pictures on their first arrival.

While Shark was checking the camera, he took a glance at a waitress in the dining room. The waitress served drinks for the customer as she eyes on Shark, who fell into the gaze of the lady, and she blew a kiss on him. Shark stared dreamingly at the waitress and waved at her, he didn't notice Tarantula was on his shoulder, trying to snap out of his fantasy.

"Shark?" Tarantula snapped her mitten hand to get Shark's attention. "Shark?"

Shark snapped out of his mind, and turned his attention to Tarantula, "Did you see that girl? First, she smiled at me and then she winked, at me, and then she..." When he turned around, the waitress was gone, and an old woman waved at him, "...turned into someone else. I hate when that happens."

"Okay, I have plans for you guys," Wolf said, until he noticed the Bad Guys, except Piranha, split up. He announced to get everyone's attention, "Yo! Calling all Bad Guys Where's everybody goin'?

"Surfing," Tarantula answered.

"Swimming," Hornet added.

"I gotta find that waitress," Shark stated

"I'm going to a buffet to eat," Snake flicked his tongue.

Piranha still didn't say a word since they arrived.

"Everybody just calm down. You are all gonna get to do everything you want to, but... And this is the beauty part. We are all gonna do everything together," Wolf declared.

Snake, Shark, Tarantula, and Hornet whined, "Why?"

Wolf chuckled, "That's a good start. Since we can't let the disaster that happened last night stop us from having fun, so we have to do this as one big, happy family," he then took out a clipboard, "So I have carefully scheduled every minute of every day with everyone's activities."

"Great thinking, Wolf. This vacation is a perfect distraction from problems yesterday," Piranha nodded in agreement.

The other Bad Guys looked confused when they noticed Piranha was the only one agreeing with Wolf. This was the first Piranha agreed with Wolf alone.

Wolf looked down on his wristwatch, and declared, "Lady and gentlemen, let the vacation... begin! All right, we only have 15 minutes to check-in. Let's go."

The Bad Guys picked up their bags, and had to check in at the front desk at the lobby.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the hallway, the Bad Guys gathered together to listen to Wolf's instructions.

"Itineraries are in your rooms. Everyone meet in the lobby for our spa treatments," Wolf declared.

"Great! Now this is gonna be a relaxing vacation ever," Piranha added with full of enthusiasm.

Hornet was concerned about Piranha's change of attitude since they arrived here as he pulled him aside for them to tell, "I have never seen you agree with Wolf before. I mean, I'm... I'm like impressed with how you two plan for this vacation, but it's also kinda freaking me out."

"It's not just about what happened last night when we tried to save you, It's all for you for being alive," Piranha winked and laughed, "How excited are you to have fun and relax with all your besties?"

"Look, Piranha, it's not a big deal," Hornet assured him.

"You deserve a fun friends' trip. And so do us," Piranha told him, "I already told Wolf that Webs' laptop should be confiscated for a while, Shark had his shrimp cocktail coming, Snake had his room service along the way..."

"Thank you!" Snake yelled with a sarcastic happy tone as he got into his room.

"Piranha, you have obviously helped Wolf put a lot of planning into this trip, which just doesn't seem like you. Is everything okay?" Hornet asked his "best friend" with concern.

"Of course it is. I'm your best friend. That is all," Piranha replied, trying to not bring up the kiss.

"Thanks. For everything," Hornet smiled before heading to his room.

When Hornet closed the door, Piranha sighed as he hoped this vacation would maintain their friendship, and not bring the topic of their possible new relationship since that kiss.

"I'm truly embarrassed for you," Wolf spoke, interrupting Piranha's train of thought.

"What?" Piranha asked.

"This whole 'planning with me for this trip' routine, too many thoughtful details," Wolf smirked, "You two hooked up."

Piranha began to stammered in panic, "What? No! Me? Him? No, never!"

"Stop denying it," the leader said before heading down the hall to find his room

Piranha groaned in defeat as he joined Wolf, "Fine, yes! We kissed. Okay?" He sighed in relief. He finally got that out of his chest, "Phew! Feels so great to say that out loud. It's really been weighing on me. Thanks for saying something. I really need a confidante.

"I am not here to support you about that. I do not want to talk about this again."

"Sure, sure, I may have feelings, but I'm not gonna act on them. I mean, neither of us wants that. They'll fade over time. That's what feelings are known for doing. Neither of us wants that!"

"Why don't you say it one more time to be sure?"

Piranha stopped following Wolf as e realized he did have a point. Piranha kept talking about his feelings for Hornet and the kiss, the denial won't last long in Piranha's heart. He wasn't sure if his feelings for Hornet would fade.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, the Bad Guys, except Hornet, were in the lobby, waiting for Hornet to come out of his room to meet them there. Snake, Shark, and Tarantula felt bored already as they couldn't do whatever they want in the meantime.

"So, how was your day without technology, Webs?" Wolf asked calmly to Tarantula.

"I'm starving. When's our table gonna be ready?" Tarantula asked while holding a menu.

"Ugh. It's a little hot in here, don't you think?" Shark felt like sweating.

"Ugh. Small talk makes me barf," Snake gagged as he got off the couch, and slithered off, "Tell Hornet I'm..."

Just then, Piranha grabbed Snake by the tail, and threw him back on the couch with Shark and Tarantula, and Wolf backed away just a little while holding his clipboard.

"Listen up, you picky hermanos!" Piranha yelled while putting a foot on the table, "This week isn't about what you want to do or not do!"

"Get off it, Piranha. You suck at this," Snake commented.

"Screw you, Snake!" Piranha grabbed Snake by his shirt, and shouted at his face, "This is about having the time of our lives that we could move on from what happened last night!" Piranha pushed Snake back on the couch as his voice calmed, "So, when our guest of honor comes back from changing his clothes, you better participate, you better smile, and you better start drinking like your life depends on it!"

"You know, Hornet doesn't drink," Shark reminded.

"I don't care!" Piranha shouted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At night, the Bad Guys had a "nice relaxing" dinner. Their seat was beside the window, just to see the view of the dark beach with a lot of people trying to enjoy the cold breeze.

"This is divine. I don't miss the meat," Snake said in a wooden tone

"Me too, totally the best," Tarantula added with a sarcastic voice.

"I haven't even thought about that night. Only the fact that Hornet is still alive," Shark added, trying to go with the flow.

"Yay, cheers for Hornet!" Tarantula lifted her glass up

"And to Wolf, for making this whole week possible, I guess," Snake mentioned.

"And don't forget, Piranha, guys. He also wanted this, and encouraged me to go with the plan, so cheers for him too," Wolf mentioned nervously, not wanting to get on Pirnaha's bad side.

"To having fun on our friends' fun trip!" Piranha rasied his own glass up.

The rest of the Bad Guys raised their glass up, and all of them clang them together.

"Wow. Every one of my best friends is having fun," Hornet smiled warmly, "You guys have done the impossible."

Wolf then extended his arm at the approaching waitress to get his attention, and asked his friends, "Who wants to look at a dessert menu?

"Is there anything to do around here besides relax?" Tarantula asked in boredom.

"Oh, of course," The waitress answered smilingly, "There was hiking, swimming, zip lining, and there was a nightclub called The Club Chi, and..."

"We're doing that," Wolf said.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bad Guys went to nightclub where the Bad Guys had been drinking all night. And now, they were dancing like the night lasted forever. Snake, shark, and Tarantula were already drunk, but still going on dancing with loud music playing and lasers lights shooting everywhere.

"This is the best night of my life!" Shark yelled, not minding his drink spilled from the glass.

"I wish this night never ends!" Tarantula screamed as she balanced off from Shark's shoulder, and fell down on the ground.

While his friends were having a great time, Wolf was pickpocketing other customers while they were drunk and dancing.

While Wolf was counting money, Hornet jumped on Wolf's shoulder with Piranha next to them, "Oh, stinger! Bad Guys for life! This is so fun! We should do this again once in a while! Oh, I know, we should have team tattoos! Who wants that, huh? Who wants tattoos?!"

Wolf noticed that Hornet was almost drunk, so he quickly walked away with the things he pickpocket from the other customers.

Now that they were dancing alone together, Hornet said aloud to Piranha from the flooding loud noises, "I know you made everyone pretend to have fun at the restaurant, you know, but, like, now they actually are. You did that. You always go the extra mile for me."

"Of course, Hornet. I'm your best friend," Piranha smiled.

"You are my best friend," Hornet replied.

The two just stared into each other's eyes with smiles on their faces...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hornet was sleeping soundly on the bed. But when he shifted to his side, Piranha was sleeping next to him. The two Bad Guys woke up to find each other on the same bed, looking surprised. They even discovered they were half-naked in bed as the blankets covered most of their bodies.

"Oh, shoot. This is really...," Piranha facepalmed in shame, "All right, listen to me. We shouldn't have done this. We should not have done this," the fish quickly jumped off the bed.

"The mind-blowing make-out or the staying over?" Hornet asked as he tried to find his shirt.

"The all of it. The all of it," Piranha answered.

Hornet finally found her shirt, "Right, of course. And, you know, we don't want it to happen again..."

"No! No! No, we do not. Never," Piranha said while putting his shirt and his suspenders on.

Luckily, Hornet still had his undershirt on, but there was no reason his life gem couldn't be exposed. Everyone, even Piranha, knew about it already, but he kept it hidden just to be comfortable. Hornet put his shirt on, and continued to agree with Piranha, "Obviously. That would be awkward and derail future plans. Plus, you know, there's no room in the itinerary for..."

But he was interrupted when Hornet heard the door closed. Piranha already left the room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Piranha marched down the hallway quietly and tried not to think about what happened last night. Hornet quickly followed him as he tried to reason with him.

"We made another mistake. No big deal, we were drunk. We're friends! We have a working relationship. We can get past this. It's gonna be fine!"

But Piranha ignored him as he wanted to escape this awkward moment as soon as possible. Finally, Piranha arrived at the counter.

"Oh, good morning, Mr..." The counter lady greeted.

"I need to get out of here," Piranha didn't let the counter lady finish her greetings as he was in a hurry to ask what he needed.

"He needs to get out of here," Hornet repeated Piranha's words, until he realized what he just said, "Wait, what? Are you... Are you sure?"

"So sorry, but there's no way off the island today," the counter lady explained, "All of the ferries were unavailable."

"Well, is there a small boat? A plane? Is there a fisherman? A trawler?" Piranha asked for other transportation.

"Yes, look for boats and planes," Hornet demanded.

"Oh, unfortunately, no," the counter lady chuckled awkwardly.

Piranha sighed stressully, "Hornet, I messed up, okay? I will be in my room until this vacation is over."

As Piranha headed in the direction of his room, Hornet watched him with guilt. This wasn't what he had in mind for their vacation. It was supposed to be a fun time with his friends. But instead, the fun time became another awkward moment between him and Piranha. This was so messed up!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Hornet was flying down the hallway, Wolf came out of his room, and started gloating, "Hmm. Wild night, huh?"

"Oh. Nothing gets by your wolf instincts," Hornet deadpanned.

"Or through paper-thin walls," Wolf pointed at the walls

"I messed up. The feelings didn't go away, and now Piranha's upset," Hornet nearly sobbed, "You've known him the longest. What should I do?"

"Don't look at me. Shark's known him the longest," Wolf pointed at Shark across the hallway, who was sleeping while holding a bottle of wine, "See you at brunch, Hornet," the Bad Guy leader said before walking down the hallway.

Since Hornet was already in front of Piranha's door, he got a chance to talk to him about what happened last night. But Piranha already sensed his presence. He's his best friend. He could sense him.

"I... I need to be alone right now," the little fish said.

The insect leaned his back against the door, and said, "Piranha, look. You're here, you're queer, get used to it. Let's enjoy the rest of the weekend."

"Hornet, that was a huge mistake, okay? And nothing like that can ever happen again," Piranha told his friend with a tone of shame.

"Totally. Look, the first time was when confessed our feelings. The second time we were

drunk. It's a two-time thing. Well, a four-time thing within a two-time thing," Hornet then sighed as he changed back to the real subject of why they were here for a vacation in the first place, "Look, we all came all this way to spend time together. Plus, we still have a lot of things to do in Wolf's list of fun! Come on, Piranha. This week can't end like this. I just want to have a perfect vacation with my best friends. We'll forget last night ever happened."

Piranha made a lot of thoughts about it, and Hornet was right. Piranha was the one who agreed with Wolf about this whole vacation thing. And now they were here in Santa Catalina Island, there was no way of quitting anymore. They were not here to just stay in their rooms to mope around. They were here for a vacation, including Piranha.

Piranha finally opened the door, but left just a narrow opening, "Yeah, I... I'll come out. Let me just... Let me put on my underwear."

"Yeah. Here, it... it was in my room," Hornet pulled out Piranha's underwear.

Piranha just stick his hand out, and took his underwear from Hornet. Even though it was awkward, he appreciated his best friends helping him with that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, in the dining room, the Bad Guys were having brunch, but Snake, shark, and Tarantula were still feeling nauseous from feeling drunk since last night.

"Ugh. I'm so hungover," Tarantula groaned while trying to eat a hard-boiled egg, "I need another mimosa, I think.

"All right, guys. Listen up," Wolf announced as he took out his clipboard, "Since we wasted our day complaining and drinking yesterday, so today, we have to do all of our activities on this list. So, after our brunch, the first activity we'll do is... golf!"

The other Bad Guys groaned in boredom, but Shark was excited about this activity. Golf was his idea after all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, at the gold field, Shark swung his putter, and let the golf fly into the air. But he realized he was the only one playing golf. It was kinda boring.

He turned around, and asked, "You're sure nobody else wants to play golf?"

The rest of the Bad guys were in a golf cart, reading brochures and magazines as they answered in unison, "Nah!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next on the list of activities was playing with marine animals. Though, Shark and Piranha were already considered as "marine animals", they were going to meet non-anthropomorphic animals, which were very different from our aquatic Bad Guys.

"All right, everybody. We have an hour and 20 minutes to meet and greet over 57 varieties of marine life," Wolf announced as the other Bad Guys agreed to do this thing.

The Bad Guys were having a good time. They were playing with the dolphins and long-finned pilot whales.

Snake was riding on a whale as he had his body tied around its dorsal fin so he won't fall off the sea mammal.

"Shark, get a picture!" Snake shouted.

Shark was at the pier, holding the camera, "Tell him to swim more to his left!"

"It's a killer whale. You tell him," Snake said as the whale blew its blowhole, sprinkling some air and water.

Piranha was at the dock, eating sardines, when a dolphin approached to him, rubbing its snout on his shirt. Piranha knew the dolphin wanted his fish so he threw one on the dolphin before awarding himself with another fish.

Tarantula and Hornet got a chance to "meet and greet" with the other dolphins as they approached them closer to the water. Wolf held the camera to capture the moment.

Tarantula found herself a dolphin as she stood on top of it, and hang onto its dorsal fin. Hornet did the same when he got himself his own dolphin. The two dolphins started to swim, giving the two bugs a ride. Tarantula and Hornet were having a great time with the dolphin as they hung on real tight.

When the dolphins swam to the edge of the pier, Tarantula and Hornet hopped back on land, and Wolf and Shark captured the whole scene on tape.

Wolf's watch suddenly beeped, and declared, "Okay, time's up. Everybody out of the pool," when he blew the whistle, three dolphins jumped out of the water, and dove back, "Not you guys!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next activity was kayaking. Each kayak could hold just two people. Since three of the Bad Guys were small and light, they were paired with the bigger Bad Guys. Tarantula was with Wolf, Piranha was with Snake, and Hornet was with Shark. Each pair participated in the paddling as this activity was about teamwork.

"Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" Each "stroke" came with a paddle to make the boats move.

Suddenly, Shark noticed the same waitress he saw at the hotel yesterday. She was riding a bike down the road, and waved smilingly at Shark.

"My girl!" Shark screamed as he jumped off the boat, leaving just Hornet on it, and swam towards the shore to catch up with his dream girl.

"Shark! Swimming is tomorrow from 9 to 10:15!" Wolf shouted, lifting his clipboard up.

But Shark ignored Wolf as he stayed focused on chasing his dream girl. When he looked on, the waitress disappeared without a trace. Shark became devastated, and cried, "She's gone! And I'm alone. And I'm wet," he swam back to the kayak sadly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, the Bad Guys were now fishing as they stood at the harbor, and had their materials ready for fishing. Once they were ready, Wolf, Snake, Shark, and Tarantula threw the line of their fishing pole, and started fishing. Piranha and Hornet did the same, but they were next to each other, so they wouldn't concentrate on fishing if they couldn't stop thinking about each other, and their night-stand.

Since they were a little far from the other Bad Guys, Hornet had a chance to talk with Piranha privately.

"Hey, Piranha. I'm sorry what happened last night," the insect spoke silently.

"It's alright, Hornet. It's okay," Piranha answered quickly as he didn't want to make this subject a long talk.

"No, it wasn't. I feel guilty. Sure we told each other how we felt the night before, and we kissed, but I don't want to take advantage of it," Hornet explained while still holding on to his pole.

Piranha sighed, and admitted, "Me either, bud. I guess we were obsessed with our feelings, we got drunk, and crazy things happened."

Hornet chuckled, "Yeah, it was really crazy, but... do you think this all happened because... we're not a thing?"

Piranha thought about it. It might be obvious. Some feelings kept bottling up until alcohol did the job for them. But he didn't want to believe that, "No. It can't be."

"Yeah, you're right. It is crazy. I'm sorry I asked that." Hornet nodded in agreement, until he felt the line of his pole was pulled down deeper into the water. Hornet grabbed his pole tightly, and tried to pull it up, "I got something."

When Hornet tried to pull as hard as he could, his catch was stronger than him and he was almost dragged down the water. Piranha caught him in time along with his pole, "I got you, Hornet!" He helped Hornet pull his catch, and reeled it in. The other Bad Guys caught their attention as they left their poles hanging, and helped Piranha and Hornet pull the catch from the water.

Finally, the fish was pulled out of the water where it was dangled by the hook, and it was trying to squirm free.

"Alright!" Snake exclaimed.

"Good job, Hornet!" Wolf cheered.

"I knew you could do it, little buddy!" Shark gently rubbed Hornet's scalp with his thumb.

While the other Bad Guys were happy for Hornet catching a fish, the insect was only focused on Piranha, who smiled proudly at him. Hornet appreciated his help with the fish. That was why he still fell in love with him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the night came, the Bad Guys carried their fishing equipment along with the fish they caught as they headed away from the harbor.

"Alright, Wolf, it's almost night, where should we head off now?" Snake asked.

Wolf took out his clipboard, and looked through it before smirking, "Well, I didn't list up the activities for the night, so..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moments later, the Bad Guys attended a loud and crazy beach party. Like last night, all they did was eat, dance, and drink. Even Wolf had to drink a little since he was busy pickpocketing the other night. He and Snake were drinking together before passing out.

Piranha and Hornet were standing beside the drink station, watching their friends having a good party.

Hornet got himself and Piranha small cups of their drink as the former handed one cup to the latter, "Are you having fun?"

"I'm just glad you talked me into coming back out," Piranha happily accepted a cup, "You know, it's like, aside from the horrible mistake that we made earlier, this had been the best vacation I had yet. I mean, relaxation, partying, actions. I mean, man, I never had this fun with you guys, especially you Hornet."

"You're easy to celebrate."

"And you're fun to celebrate with."

Once again, Piraha and Hornet stared at each other happily...

Piranha was sleeping soundly on the bed. When he shifted to his right, there was Hornet sleeping next to him... agaon. When the two woke and opened their eyes, they let out a shocking screamed, and backed away a bit without falling off the bed. Luckily, their clothes were still on, but the bed and blankets were all crumbled. Even a few bottles were on the bed. Piranha and Hornet started to groan, mumble, and chatter disgustingly, angrily, and embarrassingly. Their faces also blushed while doing so.

"Oh, no, no, no...!"

"Oh, stinger no...!"

"I can't...! What is wro...?! How can I...?! Ay caramba! We have talked about this! We cannot do this again! We just said that we weren't gonna do it, and then we did it again!" Piranha shouted while having his hands on his head.

"You're right! You're totally right! We can't do this! We can't..." Hornet pulled his antennae before stopping himself, "Wait, why can't we do this?"

"Because, you're my best friend, and I can't stand the idea of losing you. You know, I... I..." Piranha said, but Hornet flew next to his shoulder.

"You don't have to. We'll be closer than we ever been before. Well, not closer than last night. I mean, that was crazy," Hornet admitted.

"Yeah, that was crazy," Piranha murmured.

"Do you wanna feel this way all the time? Our whole lives could be going around the world, stealing stuff together, doing destruction, helping each other out, helping the rest of the team, partying, getting free stuff? It will be so fun... I love you," Hornet confessed as Piranha smiled warmly, but he looked down and frowned doubtfully. Seeing this, Hornet knew Piranha might have second thoughts as he flew towards the desk just under the TV on the wall, "You know, I'm glad we're alone together here, 'cause there's something I want to talk to you about. I remember what you said to me last night. And the other night"

"Okay, well, you're gonna have to remind me what I said because I don't exactly remember much of anything last night unless it's really weird, and then maybe I don't wanna know," Piranha chuckled. He didn't remember what he said last night, only just partial moments before he and Hornet went to sleep. He tried to put his shoe on, but it fell back on the floor. Hornet giggled about it, but Piranha felt nervous, "Oh, no. I... I said something weird, didn't I?"

"Uh... uh..." Hornet stammered, but he was cut off.

"Look, we were feeling doozy that night! We drank a lot! T-Those were fragments of my subconscious mind!" Piranha laughed nervously, trying not to let Hornet remind him, "I don't wanna know!"

"Piranha," Hornet declared, "You told me you loved me."

Piranha made a blank, wide-eyed stare as he was frozen in shock for a couple of seconds.

"Ah... Okay..." He broke the silence until he was hyperventilating, and covered his face with his hands in shame.

Hornet then flew towards Piranha's lap to comfort him, "Maybe it was just a fragment of your subconscious mind, but—"

"No, it's... It's not a fragment of anything. That's the whole me," Piranha admitted, still feeling ashamed, "You know, when I told you that I might have feelings for you since we accidentally... 'date'? In that online dating? Well, it's... it's baloney. I've felt like this since the beginning when we took you in. I mean, I-I'm not a little boy. I know that you don't just fall in love at first sight. The way I feel has just gotten more intense since we first met. And it was intense at the start, and I know it's in the way."

"In the way? Piranha, why does it have to be bad?"

"It is bad if you don't want it."

Couldn't wait any longer, Hornet flew up to Piranha's face with a smirk, "Okay, can we kiss again?"

Piranha was surprised by this, but he answered, "Uhh... please."

Hornet crashed his lips to Piranha's as he tried to make things uncomfortable between them. Piranha tried to relax while letting Hornet rest his lips on his. They stayed like this for several seconds as Piranha carefully and gently place one hand on Hornet's back, and Hornet extended one arm on Piranha's cheek.

The two then pulled away while staring at each other happily and lovingly.

"Piranha... I want you to love me... because I love you," Hornet cooed.

Piranha then brought Hornet up between his eyes to have their foreheads touch against each other, and had them both staring at each other's eyes.

"Should we... tell the guys?" Piranha asked.

"Umm, maybe not yet. Don't ruin this for us and them," Hornet said as he flew down to Piranha's right shoulder, and hugged him below his cheek, and Piranha hugged him back with his arms very gently.

They won't know what their future would become, but they knew it'll be brighter and better.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The entire chapter was a reference to Harley Quinn: The Bachelorette, Full House: Tanner's Island, and Star vs the Forces of Evil: Here To Help.

I can't believe I had Piranha and Hornet having a "night-stand" even though it's hard to imagine it.

Well, we are so close to the end! Stay tune, everyone!
