"sit down, celestia, you heathen." alex yelled as maribeths chat erupted.

"okay, howdy howdy people, welcome to my stream! karl, celestia, and big q are here to screw everything up, so yknow." maribeth laughed as her chair was pushed out of frame by karl.

"since when do i screw anything up, beth?" karl crossed his arms and started at me. beth thought for a moment before she spoke.

"you trampled all over my crops. all my wheat, gone!" beth exclaimed while pushing herself back into frame.

alex pushed karls head out of the way so he could see beth. "when did i screw anything up?" he asked. beth scoffed.

"you stole my bestfriend." maribeth rolled her eyes and adjusted her headphones.

"and ill do it again!" alex shouted while spinning around in his chair and almost getting strangled by his headphone cord.

"usually im the extremely chaotic one on streams, how much monster did you let him have, karl?" celestia asked while glaring at alex attempting to save himself from the cord that was wrapped around his neck.

"he only had one can!" karl pleaded, but celestia shook her head.

"okay, guacahomies, media share, try not to laugh!" maribeth yelled and turned on her media share.

everyone laser focused on the clips the audience was sending in. attempting not to laugh, and proving that it was easier than mr. soot said it was.

alex yawned and slumped in his chair. "you guys arent funny." celestia and karl nodded in agreement while beth tuned out what they were saying.

they kept watching the clips and beths viewers proved themselves of being unfunny. "hey, beth, can we turn off media share and do that viewing party thing that we talked about?" alex asked as he leaned forward to see beth.

"oooh, yeah, thats a good idea!" celestia clapped a bit and copied alex in leaning forward to see her best friend.

karl looked over to beth as well to see her asleep in her chair. "is she asleep?" alex asked, looking at karl. karl brushed some of maribeths hair out of her face and smiled slightly.

"yeah, she is." karl spoke, turning his head to celestia and alex. celestia laughed a small bit and shook her head.

"thats karma for not sleeping when people are supposed to be sleeping." alex nodded and took his headphones off, leaning over to the keyboard to turn off media share.

"i guess thats it for the stream, everyone, go to sleep." alex said before ending the stream.

celestia and karl both took their headphones off and stood up. "jesus, i didn't realize how cramped my legs were." celeste spoke while stretching her legs.

karl took beths headphones off and stared at her. "someone open the door, gotta get her to her bed." he said while picking maribeth up bridal style and walking over to the door.

alex opened the door and karl walked to maribeths room. he put maribeth down on her bed and put her blanket over her.

karl closed the door to beths bedroom as he walked out. "we should probably head out." alex looked at karl and he nodded in response.

"night, celeste!" karl called behind him as he left the apartment. celestia locked the apartment door and went to her room, falling asleep as soon as she hits the pillow.

karl drove through the barren streets as alex tried to preoccupy himself before he fell asleep in the passenger seat.

"so, how're things going with you and beth?" alex looked over to karl and adjusted his beanie. karl looked over to alex for a brief moment before turning his attention back to the road.

"all good, im thinking of taking her back to that café we went to." he smiled. alex nodded.

"the one by the beach?" alex asked.

"yeah, that one." karl confirmed. he pulled into his driveway and turned his car off before getting out, alex following in suit.

"you and celeste should come, we can also go down to the beach after." karl spoke as he unlocked his door and walked inside.

"depends on when you're going." alex said as he took his shoes off.

"well, i was thinking of doing it tomorrow, its supposed to be really nice." alex thought for a moment then nodded.

"yeah, ill text celestia and ask in the morning." he said before saying goodnight to karl and heading off to his room and going to sleep, karl doing the same.

a/n - just wanted to clear something up, for the purpose of plot convenience, quackity and karl live together :)
