the fic that broke me!!!

Chapter 1

Why? Why?

We were laying on stacks of rumble. A arena of brown and red rock and dust. A wasteland. The scene was about out of a apocalypse movie. The whole place looked destroyed. It was barely recognizable. The air was filled with dust, parts of the court scattered everywhere. Most wouldn't even be able to tell that it was a court. That a case took place there. A important one. But, in the grand scheme of everything, was it really that important?

Plenty of people die. For all sorts of reasons. Old age, sickness, poverty, all sorts of factors. Dying from the slicing your hand, and hitting a hard rock while killing a clone rabbit monkey half scientist, was such a dumb way to die. But.. You can't choose how you die. No matter how much you want too. You can't control it.

It was almost perfect too. Everything was set. The cheeseball, all of the attacks, he just needed to finish it off. And he did. But at what cost?

We didn't even notice, we celebrated and everything. But he didn't get up. He'll never get up again. All because of that stupid scientist. All this stupid stuff. Stupid clone. Fuck this. We didn't ask for this. Any of this shit.

But was it really his fault? It was an accident. It could've happened anyway. It wasn't even really because of him was it? It could've happened anyway.. Even if none of this shit happened? It's funny how death works like that.

You could survive cancer, wars, and terrible, terrible things, but die because of a small mistake. It's so fucked up. Why do things have to happen like this? It's not fair. Not to any of them. Any of us. Anyone.

Why should we be put through these things? Just to come out stronger?! But why be put through so much pain, angst, terror, and come out alive, just to die of something so minimal? It makes you feel weak, almost puny.

What did he feel before he died? Happy because we won, or sad because he couldn't see it? Does he even know that he did finish him off? Hopefully he wasn't scared. I hope he's doing okay up there. He deserves the best. -Danno

Danno signed the journal entry. It was messy, and he usually hated messy writing. But he couldn't come to fix it. This time, strangely, it felt better raw. His unfiltered thoughts.

He ran his hands down the pages, realizing that some of the ink smeared, combining with this lose tears. The ink looked like a void. A endless blackhole of agony.

God. He felt like D.D. all these metaphors and feeling junk. However, his therapist did tell him to write his feelings.

It seemed to somewhat be helping, though he could still feel the aching hole in his chest. He knew it wouldn't go away for a while though. He hated this fact. It was only the night after Cdots death, but it felt like ages.

He had to stop thinking, so he put his head on his pillow. He prayed to God he could fall asleep. He needed just a bit of sleep.

He began to slowly drift asleep, into a troubled nap, the thoughts swirling in his head.

"I wish I could've saved him." Was one of these thoughts.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Deja Vu

Summary:

Dannos first loop of many. :3

Notes:

This chapter might not be so good,, I'm very sorry, I'm not doing very well rn and just relapsed. Kinda projecting,, but I promise to clean this chapter up a lil more later X_X

Happy reading- Sillays :3

As he awoke, he could automatically tell something was wrong. Maybe it was the color of the sun outside. Maybe it was the way the air hung awkwardly around him. He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After a while of sitting around in his bed, he eventually got up to start his day. He opened the blinds, the fresh sunlight hurting his eyes. The radio he has set up near him begins to crackle in. He turns and twists the nobs a bit, trying to get a signal.

"Helloooo, members of the community. I'm your host, Jackson Smith, here with Southern town radio."

He let the radio play out as he began to make breakfast, a plain bagel with strawberry creamcheese. He plated his food on his perfectly clean, blue, tablecloth. He noticed his reflection in the mirror he had above kitchen sink, noticing that he looked like absolute shit.

He went to the bathroom to comb down his knotty hair, and to apply his skin care. His face looked sunken in, dried tears and tearmarks dazzling out his features. He sighed. But it wasn't like he needed to do anything important anyway, so why did it matter?

Maybe he would go see Layah today. Or go out to a store. Just to get out of the house. Something like that.
He wasn't quite sure yet.

After finishing getting all dolled up, he sat down at his table, ready to enjoy the bagel he had made for himself. It was a bit lonely though, so he pulled out his phone. To his surprise, he had tons of new messages from the group chat titled "court case."

He wasn't sure why it was still up, because the court case has finished. He shrugged. They probably just forgot, and if anything bad happens, I can always just leave. He thought to himself. His finger hovered over the chat, he wasn't ready to see everyone's grieve. A chat without cdot. He didn't want it. But, as someone wise said, you can't just outrun the past. Something like that. He hesitated, before raising a shaking finger to click on the chat

Jonny 🔥: "YALL READY?? READY FOR COURT??🗣️🗣️"

Pear 🍐: "Hell yeah brother!!"

Danno stared in confusion. What? Was this a sick joke? Why were they talking about the court case happening? Hadn't it already happened? Maybe they were coping. In some sick, weirdo way. But you can't judge how others grieve, he thought.

Danno 😴: "guys? What are y'all talking about?"

Bundun 👴: "mate, there is NO WAY you forgot that the court case is today right??"

Mogswamp 🧟‍♂️: "yeah, we've been planning it for so long!!"

Danno 😴: "but didn't it happen yesterday?? 🙁 I'm so confused rn"

Jonny 🔥: "Danno are you ok?? 3:"

Royalmelon 🍈: "yeah.. Jonny has a point. Are you?"

Danno 😴: "starting to think toon turf broke me 🙁"

Cdotkom 👾: "yeah you need to take a break seriously it's not good"

Wait, what? Danno was beyond confused now. Cdot was back? He must've imagined the whole court case. Maybe it was some fucked up dream. He has been having bad dreams lately, and he's been losing loads of sleep. But, boy was he glad to hear from cdot again.

Danno 😴: "OMGOSH CDOT!!! I had a dream where you died."

Cdotkom 👾: "oh... Well that's not good.."

Danno thought he was going insane. He closed his phone and opened it up again to see the time. June 28th, 2024. The same day as yesterday(?), the same day cdot died. He was so confused. It was like the day was repeating..

He googled, "what is it called when a day repeats?" A couple results popped up, calling it a "time loop". Where a day happens over, and over and over again. He kept researching and came across a movie. "Groundhogs day". He has in fact heard of this movie before! He even watched it before!

The movie is about a guy who repeats groundhogs day over and over again. He becomes a better person, and learns a lot of lessons. He also does a lot of crazy stuff while trying to get out of the loop. The movie was a classic. Danno liked it. But living like that? Sounded like hell.

Danno was really hoping that he just dreamed the whole court case, and he wasn't actually in a time loop. Maybe it was a one time thing.

Danno 😴: " have y'all ever heard of the movie groundhogs day?"

Jonny 🔥: "fuck yeah! Love that movie. But what abt it?"

Danno 😴: "I think im living it"

Bundun 👴: "stop fucking around man. This is a big day for all of us. And you better not fuck it up."-Dunbun

Danno 😴: " I'm not fucking with y'all. I promise. I think im in a time loop."

Pear 🍐: "tf are y'all the court starting soon??"

Oh shit. Yeah he still had to go, just to see what would happen. "Make sure to be on your guard the whole time. And protect Cdot the best you can. You cannot lose him" he muttered accidentally out loud, while slipping his shoes on. He ran down as quick as possible, to get to his car. He powered that bad boy up, made sure everything was working, and began to back up, out of parking spot, and into the road. He put the court case directions in his phone and began in that direction.

Notes:

Guess who just finished their final essay for school 🗣️🗣️ it's literally shorter then this fic fml I'm so cooked,, it's worth like half of my grade🥀

Chapter 3: McDonald's

Summary:

Danno gets McDonald's (filler) (kinda) (idk)

Notes:

GDUSJSBBDJSS I wrote half of this in ELA+ class cus we had a guest teacher 🙁💔💔

As he drove, he looked out the car window, watching all the cars surrounding him race by. As the cars rushed past, they began to create a scenery of murkey colors. Like mixing all the colors of a paint tray together. Fading blues, streaks of red, brown, black, all mixed into a messy blur. He looked down at the GPS.

"45 minutes until you reach your destination." Read out the GPS.

He sighed. Still a long ways to go. He pulled over to collect his thoughts. Maybe if he arrived a little later, something would change. Maybe he could fix Cdot's faith. He looked out the window, eyes scanning the thick, wooded forest surrounding him. His eyes locked onto a sign. 'McDonald's, next exit' was the text that adorned the sign. He readjusted his grip on the steering wheel.

Perfect.

He pulled into the McDonald's drive through, waiting as the cars passed by him. Each one of them placing their orders via the McDonald's speaker. He listened in to what the others ahead of him were ordering.

"Can I get a small blue raspberry frozen fanta slushie, a bigmac, medium fry, and a side of ranch please?" Said the car in front of him.

He got a closer look at the girl ordering, she had short, slightly curly hair, styled into a messy wolf cut, with loads of acne. Her car, however, was a messy old pickup truck. Interesting.

But now, it was his turn to order. He focused his attention the speaker. Eyes quickly darting around the menu before locking back into the speaker.

"Hello, Welcome to McDonald's, thank you for ordering, what can I get for you today?" The voice from the speaker crackled out.

"Uh, yeah.. Can I get a.. Large Mocha Frappé, and a large fry?"

"Okay... And is that all for today?" The speaker crackled

"Uh.. Yeah."

"Alright! Please pull up to the second window."

As he pulled up to the second window of the McDonald's, he looked behind him, to hear another car ordering. He listened in, he loved being nosy.

"Hello! May I get a 10 piece chicken nugget kids meal, with a small Dr Pepper, and extra fries?" Asked the car behind him.

"Uh yeah and will that-"

"Uh no. I'm not finished. I'll also have a sweet tea and a filet o fish. Please." The tone of the man in the car behind him, sounded very angry.

"Uh sir..?"

He quickly shot back, eyes darting around. The voice was too close for comfort. He looked up, eyes drifting till focusing on the man in front of him. He had curly red hair, freckles and wore a McDonald's uniform.

"Huh? Oh. what?"

He saw that the man was holding a brown paper bag. Oh. It was his food. He quickly grabbed the food out of the man's pale hands, and handed over his card as quickly as can be.

The McDonald's employee, badge reading 'Jude', quickly tapped a few numbers into a tablet, cash register, of sorts before handing him back his card.

"Have a good da-"

Was all Danno heard before speeding off into the road again, slowly watching the time tick down before the case.

Notes:

Fun fact: all orders were based on McDonald's orders from my family. Car in front was my order.(the girl described is based off of me) Danno ordered the same order my mom gets. The car behind was based of my grandma and brothers orders.

Chapter 4: Court case: the beginnings

Eventually, the Brunnete arrived at his destination. The court. He got of his car door, and slammed it shut, it shutting with a satisfying little "click".

He began to walk up to the building and was about to open the doors, when a wave of anxiety and fear crashed over him. He was really stressed over the outcome of the case. He sighed, and opened the door with shakey hands.

He walked down the winding halls, until finding the court room. He sat in the same seat he sat in " last time". His eyes scanned around the room, man he arrived very late. The court was wrapping up.. But wait that means-

He was interrupted from his thoughts by a scream. Oh no.Danno's head shot up just in time to see the Preston, who was stabbing a knife through The Boss.
Jonny quickly rushed by The Bosses side, leading to a heartfelt conversation between the two, with words that Danno couldn't make out. He could hear Jonny screaming though.

"BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Jonny yelled loudly as the boss passed away. In what Danno assumed to be a fit of rage, Jonny withdrew the knife and threw it at Preston, who was all covered in cracks.

Preston stared at the knife lodged in his head for a moment before cry-laughing as he pulled it out.

"Pathetic."

Francis Dave's laughing and Prestons crying grew louder as a strange portal grew above them. Preston was cracking more and more, like a egg hatching.

Lawbymike, Joe Caine, and a couple others helped usher everyone out, because as everyone knew. Something bad was happening. It wasn't safe.

Preston began transforming, as he pulled long ass arms out. He wasn't Preston anymore, he was Preston Prime. Completely utterly Francis Dave.

Everyone got sucked into the portal above, and placed into a familiar (at least to danno) landscape. Dusty, plain and deserted. Now everyone got a good look at Preston/Preston Prime/Francis Dave. He was absolutely humongous, towering over the creators, and most rocks around.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Bundun yelled out

Notes:
