So, I have upload failed lately-- once again I could really go on about all the excuses, but this time I actually have one! hahaha. My computer crashed sometime back in early Spring, and then my dad got sick, and I had a screenplay to finish and a whole lot of notsome things happened in my life. However it is summer now, and without busting into highly choreographed song and dance, I'll just say I've got free time and I'm excited.
Ummm, so disclaimers-- I don't own this, well I mean I own this, but I have no Disney stock and can't really control the actions of Disney, I can just corrupt them here.
So other chapter details, since it's all based loosely on the canon of our RPG site, which is Rypay and you can find it in my profile! (shameless whoring)--you'll know that their mother's name is Katherine in our little world, even if in the movie it's Derby-- let's just say I don't care.
Now for the fun dedications bit-- to my fiancee, May-- who's just recently updated her FF and is my favorite Sharpay ;) who somehow manages to inspire me to update even when I don't really feel like it... this one's for you love :D and then to the pervy family, who I really want to see more of soon, because you guys were the only reason I started doing this.
A Disney princess, that's what Sharpay will tell you she wants to be when she grows up—and for the average three year old she has more determination than most to get her way.
After all she's already been Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle—and that was just yesterday. She's even told everyone she meets that she her prince already, even if he's not charming or handsome, at least he does what she wants.
Ryan doesn't want to be a prince when he grows up—especially not to Sharpay, he spends half his day avoiding her, not that it ever seems to work judging from the amount of costumes scattered on their playroom floor.
Today is different though, at least that's what Ryan has convinced himself since waking up—today he gets to pick the movies they watch. No, today's movie is going to be completely devoid of all the mushy stuff that Sharpay likes, no more princesses, no more kissing, and definitely no more dressing up while he gets his way.
If you ask Ryan what his favorite Disney movie is, he'll tell you Lion King—only because he knows that Sharpay doesn't like it, there's not enough princesses or pink for her liking.
However even through their differences, Katherine Evans can agree on one wonderful fact about them—Disney movies are the only thing that manage to keep them shut up for a long period of time. It might be true that they sing along to every song, but as long as the tape is playing they don't fight or argue, no they'll save that for after the movie has ended—but for at least the next hour or so they'll be perfect little angels.
Today is different however; they've been having a furtive debate in front of the TV now for the past thirty minutes. Ryan is propped up on his pudgy fists, enraptured in the images of dancing animals while Sharpay prods him into an inaudible discussion. Katherine can't help but peer at them warily from over her book knowing that they either have extremes—they are dead silent or screaming at the top of their lungs, secretive whispering is a new thing they have developed lately.
"You ask!" Sharpay finally shouts as "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" starts playing, the argument finally coming to a head. "Nope," Ryan answers with a shake of his head, his teeth clenched as he hums along slightly to Simba's part. "Well, why not?" She asks, her voice straining as her face starts to turn red. "You're older—you hafta ask." Sharpay huffs angrily and pushes him over onto his back, sticking her tongue sticking out at him. Age to a three year old is one of those things that serves as irrefutable logic.
"Mommy?" Her voice is soft and questioning, but almost too calculatingly innocent for someone her age. "Ryan has a question," the last line causing Ryan to shout in retaliation as he starts beating her with his hat shouting nonsensical "do nots" in her direction. Katherine places her book down, watching them thrash about on the floor making displeased noises before Sharpay gives up and bites Ryan. Katherine can't even admonish Sharpay for her behavior—as soon as she's told she can't do something she just does it more often, which would make the impending naptime more hellacious than it has to be.
Sharpay straightens her clothes again and turns back to Katherine, beaming grin fixed to her face again. "as I was saying, Ryan and me has a question" turning back to face Ryan as she sticks out her tongue, before snapping the angelic expression to her face.
Katherine leans down, a smile on her face, but still waiting for the worst to happen. "Yes, sweetie?" How bad can it be, they're three years old—they can't even tie their shoes. "We wants ta'know where babies come from." Sharpay's angelic face still as smiley as ever even while Katherine is fighting off the borderline heart attack she is suffering.
Time seemed to stand still as Katherine mulled over her options—grimacing at her lack of appropriate options. There wasn't a book for this, no training for what to do when your precocious twins ask the impossible. "Well, sweetie," Ryan had now turned around, his hands now propped up facing her. There weren't many logical answers she could give, and lying to them didn't seem like the best option when they took things so literally. Vance had only just gotten Ryan to calm down over the Easter Bunny and his fear of giant amorphous bunnies breaking into the house, so telling him about the stork would probably just be as much of a bad idea.
To hell with it.
"When a boy and girl love each other…" Her thought train after that wasn't too well thought out after that, this wasn't something she thought she'd have to cover until they were much older. "they decide to have a baby," she floundered over her words as she looked down at their entertained faces. "But only when they're old enough." She added quickly, to which both Ryan and Sharpay both nodded.
Katherine was about ready to stand and empty their liquor cabinet when Sharpay called her attention again. "Well I love Ryan, and he's a boy, and I'm a girl" Katherine's face twisting into a frown as she started to connect her logic. "Can I have a baby with Ryan?" she asked, a genuine look of confusion on her face. "I don't want to have a baby with you though," Ryan spoke up quickly, only to get pushed over again. "Shut up, Ryan!" and that was enough to end that discussion.
"I think I need a drink." Katherine muttered to herself as she strode out of the living room and into the kitchen, hoping that the questions didn't get any more difficult than that, or they were going to need more alcohol.
Sharpay smiled a small smile as she looked over at Ryan, who had just decided to stay lying on his back, as he watched the movie upside down. He might not be a very good prince charming, but he'd make a good daddy—just like in all those Disney movies.
so yeah, expect the next chapter up sometime this weekend, because I'm working at a weird pace and just finished chapter 17-- but have yet to work on chapters 4-16 yet... so yeah, whoooo for motivation. Check the RPG links in my pro, I swear I'm more exciting there :P
