Questions From The Audience: Part One

"You do tell the most thrilling stories, we're all on the edge of our seats for more! Let's turn to the audience for questions." Sardonyx spun with excitement as she hopped elegantly into the crowd and next to a surprised audience member. "What's your question for To Be Named?"

They were absolutely starstruck but found their voice enough to ask, "Which of the relationships are the oldest?"

Steven proudly held up Connie's hand. "That's us! We've been dating the most combined years."

"Actually if we're going without breaks, I think Jacob and I have you beat." Jasmin received another kiss at that.

"Mmmm... if we're really going combined, I'd say our throuple is the oldest by technicality," Anna mischievously disagreed with a fabulous flip of her hair. "We all started dating around a couple of Novembers ago, so over a two and a half years give or take. And if you multiply that by two, or even three–,"

The others started booing her even as the intense fans of the Throuple tried to drown them out with their applause and a shout of "It totally counts!" carrying over the crowd.

"Boooo! I'm booing you!" Jacob crooned. "We win by actuality not technicality boooooooo!"

"I think you both suck because Connie and I have the most history!"

"Yeah, me and Steven have you losers by the teeth!" Connie squished his cheeks and leaned his head back to give her a kiss. It lasted so long that their friends switched to gagging obnoxiously.

"Ewww gross! Sardonyx they're making out onstage again!"

"God, wasn't the Middle Of The Night Show enough public affection for a lifetime?" Alex grimaced and turned away. "Every time you guys do that, it makes me a little more asexual and aromantic."

Hazel, Adam and Jacob shared a look their girlfriends couldn't read.

They pulled apart, grinning at each other as if they hadn't heard anything at all which "disgusted" them more.

"Watch your tones. We're the power couple here," Steven quipped.

"Actually, we can always do a test to see!" Their host pulled out a huge applauseometer and urged To Be Named to stand. "If Olfasmin's your favorite, give it up!"

The deafening roars made the others roll their eyes and scoff as Alex spread out on the couch they'd left unoccupied.

"The Trifecta of Ages!"

They hit a perfect 10 as well, the shouting so loud that it was almost quiet in a way.

Steven twirled Connie and dipped her, shooting the others unable to fuse a sly look before Stevonnie appeared in their place. "Come on, break the meter for your favorite!"

Another perfect 10 that held until Sardonyx waved them to silence. "As you can see, it's pretty unanimous."

"Wait a minute! I know how to break the tie!" Jacob turned and snatched Alex' phone and he shot up fast to retrieve it.

The applause for him made their ears crackle. Alex looked at the audience like he just realized they were there and after a short pause, stepped forward to blow a kiss and bow heightening their cheers even more. It was so unexpected that Stevonnie unfused into their counterparts with jaws dropped.

"Oh my, I do believe that broke it." Sards tapped the meter, now stuck at a notch above ten. "Oh well." She tossed it offstage, a yowling cat and crashing humorously signaling it had "hit" something. "Next question!"

"Jasmin! Which songs your favorite?"

"Uh, do I have to be in it?" She pulled her twin braids over her shoulder and smirked. "Cause if not, my favorite is Connie's song 'Why'."

"No way!" They laughed. "You have to be in it!"

Steven took a moment to enjoy the way most of their fans interacted with them like they did with each other. Little did he know, they were all on the same train of thought.

"I love our fans," Hazel muttered to him.

"Same. So fucking much."

"Uh... I'd have to say 'Issues'. I was involved in a lot of the writing process for it, and the harmonies are so pretty."

"Oh!" Alex snapped to attention again. "We recorded that one while you were singing it, and Steven sent me the cam footage of the studio sh– stuff. I have it on my phone."

"Well isn't that just serendipitous?" Sardonyx gestured to the giant screen behind them showing their faces up close. "Your human phones can project videos, right?"

He rolled his eyes and pulled down the taskbar to cast it. "You underestimate human technology."

The lights dimmed as whispers quieted down and the video started.
