a/n: i'm writing this on my phone now.... - bread

ace's pov:

"where are they?" i asked with blue in my voice. dr. d sighed and gave me a can of power puff.

"they're either asleep, or something happened and he other one is trying to fix it." he said, pony nodded, stuffing their face with the goop.

"they have off mornings a ton kid, they don't usually eat breakfast anyway." they said, cherri sat down next to me and ruffled my messy hair.

"they'll be okay." cherri reassured. i sighed, taking another bite of the dog food.

"but i had a night terror, i woke up and party wasn't there." i said with sorrow. pony sighed and handed me a fork for my breakfast.

"maybe he went back with ghoul. they really can't be apart for too long kid." they explained. cherri nodded and d went into his office to do the regular coverage of the morning.

"you have fun today, okay? we'll make sure they're alright." cherri said. i nodded and finished my food, choking it down at the bitter taste of he dog food. i never really ate it anyway.

"okay." i said. hinting a small pink smile, we heard footsteps running up the stairs, it was ghoul. his eyes lit up when he saw me.

"you done? we need to talk." he said, my hands started to shiver as the red and yellow hurricane started to form in my chest. my face went straight and i nodded with hopeless eyes, going with him into the basement. following him to the room next to mine.

i walked in and saw party on the bed, smiling pink when he saw me. but his face was red. just like when the desert got it's only rainstorm for the year.

"what h-happened?" i asked. ghoul day me down on the bed next to party, he sat in a chair and rolled over in front of us.

"party and i need to catch up with you. we've never been there for you and now we're going to make a real effort to, okay?" ghoul said, squeezing both of our hands. there was a draft as raindrops started to fall from my mountain eyes.

"i'm sorry." my father said from my right.my glossy eyes shot up at his, where rain was forming. i wrapped my arms around him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"it's okay." i said, holding on. he latched on back but went back to his original place.

"it's not ace. it's not." he said, using my real name. ghoul grabbed my hand, as if he knew what would happen next.

"it's not okay, it's not okay how i was hardly there for you when you were little. thinking that i'd die before you'd ever be old enough to remember me. it's not okay that i hardly acknowledged you. it's not okay that you had to bury your uncle's bodies yesterday. it's not okay that the only person you had was the girl who was the reason why i hardly saw you. i was scared of you. that's not okay. it's not okay that i never tried looking for you because i was so scared you'd hate me. it's not okay. and i don't want you to think about it in that way okay? i hope you can't forgive me. i hope that you know i want to be a better parent, and that i'm sorry for being a terrible one okay?" he cried out, i looked up into his mountains the whole time, slowly leaning into ghoul, who eventually sat behind me, cradling me and kissing my hair as he and i listened to party.

"i'm sorry too. i should've told him we need to pay more attention to you. don't take that please, it wasn't a good thing." he said, i looked up to him as i was on his chest and nodded, sitting up between them.

"i hope you two know that it's okay to be scared. yeah i was mad for a while, but then i was okay. i figures it out and the girl told me things. i hope you know i'm not mad. it's not your fault even though it is. i'm here now right? isn't that what matters? who cares about what happened then? i thought you were dead until i was 9 anyway. it didn't matter. all that maters is that i'm here right now. it's okay." i explained, party hugged me and so did ghoul. hugging me as hard as he would to mikey if he were alive again.

"i'm so lucky to have a daughter that understands." he whispered, i nuzzled into his chest as he kissed my head.

"what happened while we were gone?" ghoul asked. i shrugged as i sat between them.

"well, i stayed at home for a while with the diner lady, then i ran off into the desert to find the girl, then i shot off an exterminator that saw you two then ran the other way because i saw the girl. i lived with her and then went back to the diner, then i went back to her right after she saved the killjoys." i briefly explained. then went on and on about stories of how i went out of state and that's why i'm not even used to power puff. stories of me and the girl, and how we've always had feelings for each other. how the pink stories from my childhood they never saw, and i didn't think they'd see me ever again because i thought they were dead. how i stayed home alone for a year and a half.

"how's the house, artillery?" dad asked, ghoul laughed at his mocking bird tone.

"the same. untouched. me and the girl will go back today if you want anything." i said, ghoul laughed.

"only what you think we'd want." he said. i laughed and nodded. knowing i'd have to leave soon.

"what are your real names?" i asked. getting up and leaning against the door. ghoul almost followed me, party held his hand down.

"i'm frank. this is gerard. we are your parents." he said. i smile pink and opened the door.

"thank you, i'll see you later. i love you." i said, ghoul leaned into party.

"i love you too." they both said. i shut the door behind me and ran up the stairs with my backpack.

"i'm leaving!" i said, cherri nodded as i ran out into the desert. where the girl stood before me.

i latched on like she was my dad.
