Tales from the Road

Hey, shippers! HSO is winding down, so we thought we'd take a look back at the journey, so to speak. With that in mind, this next bonus round is going to be roadtrip-themed! Give us a little taste of your characters' life on the road, whatever form that takes.

1. Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of one ship (friendship/gen is fine too!) and a location. This cannot be your team's ship! This round we will not be giving points for prompts.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

PROMPT: TEAM JADE<3DAVE

John/Rose/Dave/Jade gen
Jade's Island

FILL: TEAM DIRK<>ROXY

[pyrokineticvampire]

Normally Jade is the one travelling to mainland when the four of you meet in person but this time you all agreed it was your turn to go to her. Besides, having an entire island all to yourselves sounds fantastic. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, as loud as you want, which is the perfect conditions for the best pranks ever, in your opinion.

But for now, you're all just having a relaxing moment by the water, hanging out and enjoying each other's company. Rose and Dave sit on the shore with their legs dipped into the water while you and Jade have a water fight a few yards away, laughing and squealing and tackling each other beneath the surface.

When you both stop to catch your breath, grinning happily and devilishly at each other, Jade swims closer and whispers, "Let's go get those two."

You grin in reply, glancing over at your two friends who are chatting about something in the distance. You duck under the water and swim towards them, and Jade follows, you exchange a grin under the water before each grabbing the leg of an unsuspecting friend and yanking them down into the water with you.

Rose just kind of smiles and pushes herself to the surface to take another breath of air, while Dave flails about in surprise before John shoves him upwards. "That was such a cool reaction, Dave, so cool," John teases.

Dave sputters water and looks at Rose, who smirks. "Did you not notice when everything suddenly became quiet? They were obviously up to something."

"There's no fooling Rose!" Jade laughs and splashes her friend with water. "But we still got you."

"You did. It was worth it to see Dave's reaction."

"Worst sister ever," Dave replies and joins Jade in the splashing. The water fight goes into full tilt again, this time in the form of Dave and Jade against you and Rose, and with your prankster gambit and Rose's pure evil cunning, there's just no way you can lose. Before you know it, the four of you are happily tired and the sun is already beginning to set.

"Last one to the shore is a rotten egg," you shout, already on your way before the sentence of out of your mouth.

"Cheater!" you hear Jade exclaim behind you and by the time you reach the shore, the four of you are a tangled mess of limbs, probably trying to stop you from winning more than anything. Together you all flop onto the grass, laughing between deep breaths.

"I think we should come to the island more often," Rose says suddenly, her way of saying she's having fun. You know you all agree, even Dave is enjoying himself too much to keep a constant straight face.

"I'd love that," Jade agrees. "It feels even more like home when you guys are actually here instead of just in my computer."

Eventually you all get up and head back to Jade's bedroom, already mostly dried off from the warm air outside. It's only been a day since you arrived and you'll be there a week, and now you're certain it won't be the last time you stay on Jade's island. You collapse into a pile of sleeping bags and pillows and you fall asleep, looking forward to your next day together.
