(Small note: italicized and bold means it's from the video they are watching so you won't get confused. This was really hard to make so please bear with me 🥲)

You, Aidan, and Emmy were in the same room together, preparing yourselves to watch the blooper reel. The three of you and the rest of the cast are going to shoot a video reacting to the blooper reel. The remaining actors were split up into groups and located in various rooms. "Hi! I'm Emmy Raver-Lampman." Emmy introduced.

"I'm (Y/n) (L/n)." You smiled at the camera.

"And I'm Aidan Gallagher." Aidan introduced himself as well.

"And we're here to react to the blooper reel of our show." Emmy finished. "Let's get to it!"

"I'm kinda nervous." You admitted as you shake your hands.

"Aww, why?" Emmy cooed as she fixed your styled hair.

"I feel like I made a fool out of myself so many times." You nervously chuckled.

Aidan held your hand and smiled reassuringly. "You did great, (Y/n). Don't worry."

One of the staff began playing the video. You smiled broadly when it was Emmy who showed up first in the blooper reel. "We could be out of here tonight," Emmy as Allison said sternly to Elliot, who was playing his character Viktor. "And for the first time in days, I feel hope..." Emmy began to sputter and mess up her lines making her walk away to repeat all over again while Elliot snickered.

Emmy cackled. "It's hard to say the whole thing!"

The title card and the text 'blooper reel' were momentarily seen in the video before the following scene was presented. You smile when you think back to your scene with Aidan, which was revealed in the following scene in the video. You saw yourself turning your head to the side when you heard the noises from the stairs. Turns out, Cazzie as Jayme had 'kicked' Aidan as Five and it was him who was rolling down the stairs. "Five!" You heard yourself gasp and you saw yourself quickly coming to his aid when you saw the injury on his forehead. "Are you okay?"

"Nope. Not really." When Aidan noticed the cut on your cheekbone, he attempted to stand up and reach your face but eventually lost his balance. You laughed and clutched his arms. "Are you okay?" You asked again, breaking out of character.

"Not anymore." Aidan heard himself chuckle from the video as he got up properly, holding your hands. "Let's try that again."

Aidan chuckled. "It was going so well!" He commented.

You, Aidan, and Emmy watched intently as you and Aidan went again in the video and ended up on the floor to continue your lines. "Are you okay?" You asked worriedly as you grabbed Aidan's face.

Aidan shook his head and stared at you. "I-I'm nope. Not. Err—what?" He began to stutter and gave a camera a weird look as if his brain buffered, causing you to burst into laughter. "I did not know what just happened."

You eventually lay down on the ground, clapping your hands and laughing as you continued to look at Aidan. Aidan playfully rolled his eyes. "That was not that funny."

"Please, I think I saw gears trying to turn on that head of yours." You wheezed.

"I was staring at you and I just completely forgot my lines," Aidan admitted with a chuckle as he helped you sit up. "Get up, the floor's dirty."

Emmy looked at the camera with a smirk. "Staring at her and completely forgetting his lines." She teased. "What you guys don't know is that he always does that whenever he has a scene with (Y/n)—"

"Ah, ah, ah!" Aidan interrupted, maintaining his tense smile while focusing his gaze directly on the camera. "No one needs to know about that."

The following scene took place in the first episode when the Umbrella Academy first met the Sparrow Academy. Aiden, David, and Robert were the main focuses of the camera. "Oh, you slay me, Chris." You heard Justin as Ben saying his line in the background.

You smiled when you watched Aidan breaking out of his character when he snickered and smiled. It took him a few seconds until Robert finally turned around and pointed his finger at Aidan. Aidan giggled. "I'm sorry."

"Very unprofessional," Robert commented in a joking manner while the others in the background laughed.

Emmy turned to Aidan and grinned. "Gotcha!"

Aidan smiled. "Yeah, I always break." He confessed. "It's my kryptonite."

"Really?" Emmy asked amusingly as she raised her eyebrows. "I thought (Y/n)'s your kryptonite."

Your cheeks slightly reddened and smiled at the camera. "Erm, moving on!"

You and your fellow cast members viewed the next scene, which took place in the Academy's basement and involved Robert taking some of his clothes off. Robert paused for a moment, and you started to chuckle. "Oh, shit, my little panties came off."

Emmy burst into laughter again, and you started laughing too because her laugh was so contagious.

Your character and Javon's first encounter was shown in the following scene. You observed yourself hastily stepping away as you were about to collide with a young boy who had a dish of food in front of him. The kid looked at you with his mouth full. "Woah." Javon as Stanley whispered in awe. "Who are you?"

"(Y/n)." You told him. "You?"

"Stan... ley."

You took a full moment to just gaze at Javon before you started laughing and shook your head. "Sorry!" You apologized to the director and crew. "Okay, let's do that again."

You went back to your earlier position and repeated the same actions you did before. Javon repeated his lines as well. "Woah. Who are you?"

"(Y/n). You?"

"Stan... ley..."

You gave him a small nod and smile until it ended up being laughter. "Javon, stop doing that face!" You complained as you lightly slapped his shoulder.

"What?" Javon asked while flashing an innocent yet mischievous smile.

"You're lucky that the camera can't see you, you little shit." You chuckled and wrapped your arm around Javon's shoulders earning a laugh from the boy.

"What face was he making?" Aidan asked curiously with a smile.

"He's like one of those cartoon characters who have their jaw dropped so low whenever they see someone they really like." You explained with a chuckle. "It looked so goofy in him and he told me that was his genuine reaction."

"Aidan," Emmy called out to Aidan. "You got a competition."

Aidan playfully glared at the camera. "I'm watching you, Javon." He told sternly before chuckling and shaking his head. "I'm kidding. But Five would probably murder him. I just know it."

You and Emmy nodded along, knowing he was right. "You don't want to mess with Five." You added with a wink.

Soon, you saw Genesis and Tom's scene together in the video, running on the treadmill. "You know, I always wanted the Umbrella Academy to be like this," Tom said his line but failed to slow the treadmill down but Genesis was successful. "And it's not slowed down," Tom replied making him and Genesis burst into laughter. "It's all like this."

"I heard that those treadmills were nightmares." You told Emmy and Aidan. "Genny used to complain about those and the suits."

Emmy gasped. "Oh, my God! Yes, the suits! They'll probably show them in later scenes."

You, Aidan, and Emmy watched a couple more scenarios, including one where Elliot stumbled over his words, which you found adorable. What made you laugh was the next scene, in which Colm as Reginald turned synchronously with Robert "Gather around, chicklen! Colm shook his head as she smiled. "Chicklen. Chickens." He muttered under his breath with a chuckle and returned to his previous position.

However, Robert continued the joke while Emmy was laughing in the background. "Chickens!" Robert exclaimed and screeched, imitating a chicken's noise.

You held onto Aidan's shoulder for support. Aidan grinned at you. "That one got you good, huh?"

Emmy chuckled. "I remember her in the set, trying so hard not to laugh at Colm because all she can hear is the word 'chicklen'." She explained making you laugh even harder.

Several additional scenes were displayed, including Justin forgetting his lines, Ritu stuttering while eating and leaning toward David, but the sofa ended up making noise, Genesis having trouble moving because of her suit, which only allowed her limited actions, and Jake forgetting his lines as Alphonso.

You paid close attention when Aidan was seen in the video combing his hair, only for the wind to cause it to become messed up once more and cause him to grin broadly. You frowned as you turned to face Aidan. "No fair, you look good in these bloopers while I look like a cockroach."

"Then you're a gorgeous cockroach."

Emmy frowned at the camera. "I feel like a third wheel here, help me." She joked earning a few laughs from the crew behind the cameras.

The three of you continued to watch and you chuckled as the next scene showed you, Elliot, and Emmy in a bathroom trying to hide from the guardian. Emmy as Allison was wounded while Elliot as Viktor was trying to rip the towel apart.

"I made a deal with Dad." You heard Emmy tell her line.

The three of you watched carefully as you and Elliot both took a brief pause and stared at Emmy in the video. "This was all your fault?" You asked while Elliot continued to try and split the towel apart to wrap it on Emmy's shoulder. "You're the reason why Luther and Klaus are dead?" You continued your lines.

Emmy shook her head. "No, I had nothing to do with that." She said truthfully. "I swear."

You and Emmy were waiting for Elliot to wrap the towel around Emmy's shoulder but the two of you looked at Elliot who was still struggling and groaning. You broke into a smile while Emmy chuckled. "We believe in you." Emmy cheered.

Elliot tried to break the towel apart in the blooper reel in many ways. You volunteered to assist, and the two of you ultimately succeeded in pulling the material apart. "Sibling power!" You exclaimed while Elliot cheered in delight. "Yeah!"

"Elliot looked cute here even if he was struggling." You commented as your smile stayed on your face.

Emmy pressed her palms on her chest, smiling. "Our little bunny."

You and Aidan suddenly blushed when the next scene was your character and Five finally kissing. As you remembered how many tries it took to achieve the right shots, you covered your face. While Aidan was kissing you, he got stuck removing his blazer, causing him to break into a smile. You smiled back and leaned back to see what had happened. "I thought the blazer was going to break apart," Aidan stated.

You slightly peeked from your fingers and you saw the same scene but a different blooper. Aidan quickly removed your hand from your mouth. "Don't..." His low, husky voice made you feel as though you were going to melt. "I wanna hear you."

You, in the video, stared into his eyes and you ended up looking away, too flustered to do or say anything. Aidan broke into a smile and embraced you, leaning back to the bed as his arms wrapped around you warmly. "You okay?" Aidan asked as he combed your hair.

"Sorry, that line always gets me."

Your hands were delicately taken away from your face by Aidan as he turned away from the video to gaze at you. "You okay?" He asked the same question he asked from the blooper reel.

Emmy gasped to see your full bright red face. "Oh, you are blushing!" She smiled. "Does anyone have any water?" She requested the staff and the crew immediately offered you bottled water.

You fanned yourself using your fingers and drank your water before smiling at Aidan and Emmy. "Good God, I feel so warm."

You continued to drink while watching the blooper reel with Aidan and Emmy. The next scene was David messing up his line in a car with Emmy, Aidan 'punching' Cazzie but Cazzie always has a delayed reaction, and Emmy said her line wrong when it was her scene with Ritu. There was also a scene where you and Emmy were in an argument scene as your character and Allison until the two of you broke into laughter.

The next was Aidan and Ritu at the set of the abandoned Commission where the camera is focused on Aidan. Ritu proceeded to deliver her lines while Aidan started spitting something out of his lips. Ritu was completely unaware of what was happening. Before turning his head and removing something from his lips, Aidan grinned and looked into the camera. "Sorry." He apologized.

The video now showed you and Brenda in a scene together. "Why does Reginald want to adopt you?" Brenda as Jeanie questioned as she showed you the notes that Reginald had written on the pages.

To get a better look at Reginald's notes, you moved closer. "I don't even know. I've always thought that he just wanted seven super-powered infants." You scoffed. "Seriously, that man forced us to be heroes because we have powers like he's initiating child labo—"

"You're getting off the topic, little girl." Brenda hissed.

You audibly and dramatically gasped out loud. "Don't cut me off, you whiny bitch!" You improvised earning a fit of laughter from Brenda and the rest of the crew. You broke into a smile and hugged Brenda, apologizing multiple times. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

You and Brenda repeated your lines again. "Why does Reginald want to adopt you?" Brenda questioned as she showed you the notes again that Reginald had written on the pages.

To get a better look at Reginald's notes, you moved closer. "I don't even know. I've always thought that he just wanted seven super-powered infants." You scoffed. "Seriously, that man forced us to be heroes because we have powers like he's initiating child labo—"

"You're getting off the topic, little gi—"

"You're much more hostile than the Jeanie I knew. I kind of miss the old Jeanie." You said your line too early and was unable to let Brenda finish her line. It was now Brenda's turn to dramatically gasp making you snort. "Don't you cut me off too, you little shit!"

The crew erupted into laughter as you and Brenda embraced each other with wide smiles. You smiled as you watched the video. "Brenda is such a fun person to be with."

Aidan nodded. "Complete opposite to her character in this season."

The following scene featured Robert, who was covered in a white fur carpet. Robert was meant to be dead, but he ended up spitting up some fur that had somehow gotten inside his mouth. The next was Colm accidentally falling his monocle twice.

The next blooper was your scene with Robert along with Colm and Aidan when the Hotel Obsidian is being torn apart by the Kugeltblitz. You saw yourself in the video looking up at Robert as Klaus in panic and he gave you a reassuring smile. "I'll follow, I promise. I'll be there." He gave you a long kiss on the forehead. "Hurry!" He encouraged.

You shook your head and dragged Robert along inside the tunnel. "No!" You stubbornly exclaimed. "You come with me! I ain't letting you die!"

"Let me die in peace!" Robert joked as he tried to pull himself away from you.

"You're not leaving my sight!"

"Cut!"

You and Robert giggled while Colm and Aidan smiled in the background.

Another take was taken and it was the same scene. "I'll follow, I promise. I'll be there." Robert repeated his line and gave you a long kiss on the forehead before helping you get on the tunnel. "Hurry!"

You jumped out of the tunnel and jumped on Robert's back. Luckily he managed to catch you and you were now in piggyback. "Onward!"

"Where to, my fair maiden?" Robert asked with a smolder as his Irish accent returned.

"To the skies!"

Robert ran away with you and Aidan and Colm chased the both of you. "Take us with you!"

You chuckled and clapped as Emmy cackled. "That's one of my favorites. Like despite the scene being sad, we managed to joke around in that scene." You stated.

Soon, it was Justin who was saying his line. "Look, people!" You heard him exclaiming in the blooper reel. "We're special." Justin shook his head and repeated his line. "Look, people, we're alive." He chuckled and made a weird noise. "Look, what's my line?"

Because of the way Justin delivered that final phrase, you distinctly recall giggling along with the rest of the cast throughout that scene.

More bloopers showed up with Aidan almost spacing out and smiling, Colm improvising a line, the elevator unable to function properly, you tripping down the stairs multiple times, and Robert messing up a line.

The next was you and Aidan again on a motorcycle after leaving Pogo and Tammy's trailer. "We all have problems, okay?" Aidan said his line as Five. "But that doesn't mean you have to deal with your problems by yourself. You're here for me, and I will be here for you."

You stared at Aidan until you felt yourself slipping down from your seat. "Sorry!" You squeaked as Aidan helped you back in your seat.

"The seat was kind of slippery." You explained to Aidan and Emmy with a smile.

Aidan repeated his line in the video as he stared at you laced with concern. You stared back at him until you felt yourself once again falling down but at the back this time. Aidan was quick to grab your waist and put you back on your seat. "Holy shit, are you okay?" He asked worriedly but he was wearing an amused smile. You nodded and laid your head on his shoulder.

You sighed. "I didn't want it to seem like I was a klutz there, but there was also a reason why I kept on falling in that scene." You told Aidan and Emmy and for the future audience. "I felt like my body wanted to shut down because I was so exhausted from all the crying scenes I had filmed." You shared with a small laugh but Aidan and Emmy were worried.

"Aww..." Emmy frowned. "Sometimes, I did notice that. Like out of all of us, (Y/n) had the most crying scenes in the show and I feel so worried every time we have some scenes together because whenever you were shown tired, I just feel like it's the real you."

"There was a time when in the show, Klaus and Luther and dead but we were able to make it in Hotel Oblivion," Aidan explained. "(Y/n) just cried her heart out and we were so affected by her crying we can't help but cry as well. And it was difficult for me since Five was shown to be a bit difficult on showing emotions."

You smiled at the camera with full reassurance. "I don't want to make it seem that I'm being abused or overworked. The directors and crew always make sure I'm safe and okay." You said. "No (Y/n) was harmed during the filming of the show." You grinned and held out a thumbs up.

"P.S!" Emmy added. "Aidan is always there watching out for her whenever she shoots her crying scenes even if he's not in those scenes."

Aidan impulsively put his arm around your waist as he shrugged and couldn't help but smile. "I always have a bottled water carried around set for her." He replied.

Soon the video ended and the three of you faced the camera. "I hope you liked the blooper reel!" You said your line as you read in the teleprompter.

"We appreciate all the love and support you guys give us and for the show," Emmy added with a big smile.

"See you next time in the fourth and final season." Aidan winked and waved goodbye.

So, instead of making Fun Facts, I decided to make a blooper chapter since Netflix released the blooper reel of The Umbrella Academy back in September. This might be cringe, but I wanted to do this for so long :)

I wish I could do more, but I think this is enough.

p.s. this is a TUDUM style since. In the TUDUM video, the cast reacted to the bloopers so I'm gonna do that too.

This was also made back in September as soon as TUDUM was released but I have forgotten about it. (October was a fucked up month for me)
