Just an outtake from todayâs post because I thought 1920s jazz club Antoine had my heart and could never be beat. I was totally unprepared for 1930s desert Dad Antoine and I positively cannot. Look at this pixel man đ„ș

This fic single handed la keeping me alive now that my queers are on hiatus (fingers crossed for a d/aemi less s2 announcement soonâŠ) this chapter was so fucking good I was biting my fist like THE CHEMISTRY THE FLAVOUR. As an aside, Peteâs life has just gotten a lot messier, my poor guy is gonna have his hands full đ€
đđ Iâm diving into fic today to distract me from a Saturday without my mafia blorbos đđ itâs a cruel god that would let something like this happen
IâM SO GLAD YOU LIKED THE CHAPTER THO đ I love sprinkling the little hints about VP in even though theyâre not really featured much. I have this vague idea of maybe doing some kind of outtake of what theyâre doing âoffscreenââlike just imagine Peteâs stakeout scene in episode 6, only this time Vegas is the one in the car stewing and Pete is like âmy dude? are you stalking me? youâve been parked out here for three days, at least let me bring you some snacksâ And Vegas, evil and monstrous creature of the night, just immediately perks up and goes, âsnacks? đ„șâ bada bing bada boom theyâre in love

No Place Like Home Part 3: Arickaâs favorite scene
(Aricka and Pete; Aricka and Bradley; Aricka and Jake; Aricka and Bob)
(They begin marking choreography, and they begin with a more difficult piece- the Jitterbug.)
(See why this goober is the scarecrow now-đđ„ș)
âAlright, everyone into the gym, quickly now-!â Ms. Barnes says. âEveryoneâ being the main four- Aricka, Bradley, Jake and Bob- and the ensemble. âNow; weâve been working primarily on the choreography for the MunchinLand scene but, today, I want to begin marking the choreo for the act two big number; âThe Jitterbug.ââ
Now, Bradley, Jake,and Bob, had they not had Aricka to introduce them to the Broadway wizard of Oz including the cut scene of the Jitterbug, wouldâve been clueless about what she was referring to. But seeing as how Aricka has been educating the three boys about the history of the musical The Wizard of, they knew pretty much everything she did.
Arickaâs eyes lit up and she clapped her hands excitedly. âYes,â she whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~
âStep; two, three and LIFT, spin, three, fourâŠâ Aricka huffed as she collided with Jake again- the jitterbug was no joke. She had lost her balance almost every two beats, almost twisted her ankle landing the lift, and on top of that her dad was watching, adding to her nerves. âStop.â The music and ensemble froze. âAricka; Bradley. Step forward.â Both do so. âGo back to the dance I assigned you; Aricka I want you to sing. Forget about everything but the music and your partner.â
They turn to face each other, and clasp hands standing a shoulder width apart. The music starts and Bradley releases her left hand, lifting their still joined hands up as she spins under and behind him, singing as she went,
âOh, the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz..â she snaps her fingers as Bradley comes behind her; placing his hands on her hips as hers cover his, and he spins her twice before setting her down, releasing her to go back to a waltz position,
âBut the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Couldn't do what the Jitterbug doesâŠâ he pulls her close, so her left side was pressed against his right, pushes her away to shoulder width apart again, then up against his left, finally spinning her away as she sings the final part of their dance number,
âSo be careful
Of that rascal
Keep away from-!â
âPerfect. Thatâs just what was needed,â Ms. Barnes says. Aricka glances up at Bradley, hand still carefully held in his, and smiled shyly.
âYeahâŠâ she says. âIt was.â
*time skip: Mitchell house*
Aricka lounges on her bed, the script for the musical in her hand. She had been staring at one scene for the last hour. Bradley was lying on the ground, iPod in hand, earbuds in ears, presumably listening to, âIf I only had a brain,â for the umpteenth time.
âBradley,â she says suddenly. âCan we practice the end scene with Dorothy and Scarecrow? Where he asks her what she learned?â
Her best friend hums, nods, sits up on the floor. âSure.â Flips his own script open to the page she was referring to. Cleaning his throat, he easily slid into his role, and they went over the part together. Aricka found herself unable to look away from Bradley, yess intently staring at his script; both of them aware they had to be off book by Monday.
Aricka had the entire thing memorized by the second week of rehearsals, but she used the script as a security blanket. Just in case.
Bradleyâs curls fell into his eyes and she watched as he swiped them away; nose wrinkling in annoyance as he did. Her heart raced as she came to the realization that she wished it was her brushing his hair from his face, smiling at him; maybe even-
No. No. Aricka. No no no. You donât have a crush on your best friend. You canât.
She blinks and looks at her script; unaware that Bradley had just looked up to see her reaction-
Frowning when he realized she wasnât even looking at him.
So close. But so far away.
~~~~~~~~
Will Dorothy ever admit her feelings for her beloved Scarecrow?
Keep reading to find out-!

omg i need to know more about rafe going to her house the next day to apologise?!!!? đ„ș i love that so much (also did he get in a lot of trouble with ward when he got home??? and how was his eye the next morning lol)
ermmm ok perhaps i lied when i said i had no more outtakes to post. here u go my beloved new light annotations anon (i did not edit this one bit and i cut it bc i didnât think it was working so pls lower your expectations to the floor. and then go below that) originally supposed to be the second half of all i want blurb
warnings: mentions of the fight/injuries from all i want, err that should be it besides swearing?
sorry if I was harsh last night, just wanted toâ
how do you feel todayâ
hope your dad wasnât too upset with youâ
hi rafe, feeling better? iâm sorry ifâ
You groaned, deleting every single text before you even sent it, throwing your phone across the couch instead.
âUh oh,â your dad says. âIs it boy trouble? Please donât let it be boy trouble. Not yet.â
You donât even smile at his joke, because he wouldnât technically be wrong. âNo, Iâm good.â
âGood.â
âY/d/n,â your mother chides, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. âDid you talk to her about curfew?â
You sigh, knowing this was coming. When Kelce texted you the SOS last night, you knew your parents would see that you left the house on the security system. But you didnât even weigh the consequences for a split second, just slipping on your shoes and sneaking out as quietly as possible, leaving that for tomorrow. You just wanted to get to your friends and make sure they were safe.
âAh. Yes,â your dad says, putting his newspaper down. He points at you. âStop breaking curfew.â
You give him a salute. âYes, sir.â
âThanks.â
Your mom looks between the two of you in indignation, her mouth hanging open.
âYou canât justâshe snuck out at two in the morning, we have no idea where she even went last night.â
âWhereâd you go?â your dad says, looking back at you.
âMargot wanted to get shakes,â you lie easily, mentally noting that you need to text Margot later to vouch for you. âAt that one 24 hour diner.â
Your mom blinks. âThat filthy little hole in the wall on the Cut?â
You furrow your eyebrows. The diner was fine, and it wasnât even that deep into the Cut. You went there with your friends all the time, always tipped the wait staff well. You went just last week with Rafe so he could help you study for your math testâyou insisted you pay since he was helping you, but he took care of the check before you could even get the chance. You loved it there. âI mean, sânot exactlyââ
âI donât want you going there anymore. You know we donât like you on that side of town,â your mom continues, flitting about the room, opening the drapes. âNo more, understood? Not at two in the morning.â
âYes,â you say, trying not to roll your eyes because you can feel your father looking at you. âWonât happen again, sorry.â
âApology accepted,â your mom says, looking satisfied. âYou really should stay away from there. Heard the Cameron boy got into another fight last night down there.â
You freeze.
âHeâs a trouble maker, that one,â your dad says, flicking through his newspaper leisurely.
âItâs notâheâs not⊠Rafeâs a good guy,â you defend weakly.
âSounds like it,â your mom says sarcastically. âSome company you keep. Guess I shouldnât be surprised, knowing the Camerons. New money from the Cut, tale as old as time.â
âHeâs still got time to sort himself out,â your dad says, looking over at you above his paper. âYouâre just kids.â
âHm,â your mother says. âSuch a shame, too. Heâs handsome. Promise me you wonât turn out like that, Y/n? Or end up with someone like that?â
âMom,â you groan.
âWhich reminds me!â She clasps her hands together. âI was talking with Griffinâs mother, Christine. You two shouldââ
âOkay. Iâm not listening to this anymore,â you declare, standing up and grabbing your phone. âIâm getting coffee.â
âBut donât be late for the ladiesâ luncheon at the Island Club!â your mom calls after you.
âWouldnât miss it,â you call back, back turned as you exit through the garage. When you press the button to lift the door, you pause halfway inside your car when you notice Rafe walking up the end of your driveway, hands stuffed in his pockets, a fresh bandaid over his eyebrow.
âRafe?â
He looks up at your voice, smiling sheepishly as you meet him in the middle. âHey, Y/l/n.â
âWhatâwhat are you doing here?â
He sighs, a hand coming up to scratch the back of his neck. âJust wanted to apologize, I guess. For last night.â
âYou couldâve texted,â you smile.
âAh. Dad took my phone.â
You feel your smile slip off of your face. âOh, Iâm sorry. Was he⊠how did that go?â
Rafe just shrugs, hand dropping to his side. âCouldâve been worse, I guess.â
âRight. Iâm sorry.â
âDonât be, itâs my fault,â he tells you, eyes sad. âIâm sorry, again. Youâreâyou are way better of a friend than I deserve.â
âRafeâŠâ
âThanks for always having my back,â he continues, hands back in his pockets as he rocks on his heels. âJust wanted to come say that, Iâll get out of your hair.â
You just nod, a little shocked at his earnestness, watching him head back down your driveway before speaking again.
âRafe, wait!â
He turns around, looking at you expectantly. You feign nonchalance, tossing your keys back and forth between your hands while your heart threatens to beat out of your chest. âI was just about to go to the diner, if you wanna come.â
âYeah?â
âYeah.â
âAlright,â he shrugs, signature grin on his face as he heads back up the driveway. âCanât have you sitting there all alone like a loser, anyway.â
You look over at him as he settles into your passenger seat like itâs his second home, like the two of you hadnât been here last night under very different circumstances. Immediately turning down your AC and flipping to his favorite radio station. Heâs telling a story about the party last night and you just nod along, thinking about what your parents said about him ten minutes ago. What he said, about how he doesnât deserve you.
Maybe he hadnât meant it in that way, but you know youâd let Rafe Cameron have you in just about any capacity he wanted. Even if itâd probably never go beyond this, just two friends going to grab coffee on the wrong side of town.

DNP Rewatch:Â BUCKET OF DOOM with Cat and a Demon
Date video was published: 10/27/2015 (X)
DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 286
Collab with Cat! DNP appear in several of Catâs videos, but this is the only main channel video of theirs that she appears in.Â
0:00 - Philâs got a few spooky decorations up in the background
0:08 -Â âI thought we could summon a demon and play a gameâ is a very Phil sentence
0:15 - Cat is embarrassed at herself. Phil keeps glancing up and to the side so Iâm gonna guess Dan was already standing over there in the room.
0:26 - is that better?
0:29 - nice editing from Phil there. Cat is attempting a surprised face but Phil is just giggling.
0:38 - why the hell did they decide Dan need to wear this mask the whole time? why was this the âspookyâ theme? I have many questions. They canât keep straight faces.
0:49 - even a demon has to explain the rules in detail, apparently. đ This was before they played board/card games on DAPG. So Danâs not playing; heâs just there to judge.
1:19 - they keep just...ignoring Cat and having their own side conversations
1:29 - they end up with this same one in the first DAPG Bucket of Doom video
1:37 - on, theyâve changed up the rules. They have to use whatever item they draw instead of choosing from a bunch.
2:02 - lol at the never-ending rock-paper-scissors game
2:19 -Â âjuicesâ urgh. Dan agrees.
2:22 - Phil gets into the dramatic storytelling
2:33 - lass-oo? Is that how British people say âlassoâ? If so Iâve learned something new today.
2:39 - lol Cat with the important questions. She reacted when he said that initially.
2:49 - well that conversation took a turn
3:20 - Phil is not impressed with the wish solution
3:30 -Â âI thought yours was really stupidâ ...look at those offended looks. Why was there a jump-cut after that?
3:35 - yeah, the magical answer is a bit of a cop-out
3:44 - wtf Phil. Phil just wants to touch.
4:06 - Iâm surprised they didnât create or pick spooky/Halloween-themed scenarios.
4:26 -Â âa seaside donkeyâ is a very British thing. I bet Cat is confused by that.
4:25 - what is Phil doing with his hand here? đ Itâs like he went to stroke Danâs arm and then remembered heâs on camera...
4:46 - DNP are not very impressed with Catâs solutions
5:10 - Philâs stories are much more detailed
5:23 -Â âthe staggering misunderstanding of physics in this round...â no kidding but not the most unrealistic thing about these stories really
5:26 - of course Phil is mating with the alien. Of course. đ
5:53 -Â âi appreciate your creativityâ đ„ș gotta give Phil a compliment if heâs not going to get the win
6:01 - threatening papercuts! Phil does not like to lose
6:11 - I love the look on both Cat and Philâs face at that twist in the scenario
6:32 - Phil pulling out his questionable-as-usual American accent
6:41 - Dan NO. đł
6:48 - Catâs expression every time Phil adds a completely unnecessary detail is great
7:06 - of course the aliens are involved again
7:29 - wtf is this Phil smirk and tiny eyebrow raise
7:40 - Phil is very concerned as to where this is going
8:12 - Phil is displeased
8:22 -Â âsuck my baguetteâ đ
8:28 - and then Danâs âI came from hell, and Iâm disgustedâ is great
8:38 - Cat just looking on as Dan gets a bit to into that. Also Iâm disturbed by Philâs noises
9:22 - this ending is going on for too long
9:27 - LMAO at âI see everything you do by the way...â
9:37 - they played the 7 second challenge app for Catâs channel
9:53 - outtake! I love inclusion of bloopers or outtakes. This wasp fact was something Phil told Cat.
This is a fun video that I donât watch very often. Philâs stories are so weird and creative!
DNP were still on TATINOF UK when this was posted. Iâm guessing they filmed it all the way back in August when Cat was in London for Summer in the City and hung out with them (1, 2). That is a level of pre-planning DNP rarely have.
