#reggie peters
Anyway au where everything’s the exact same except the guys wear skirts/dresses and they address it exactly one time. And that’s in the beach scene. Just
Alex: and before you say cool teleportation skills, just know I’m not entirely okay with that either! Alright? It tingles! In weird places!
Reggie, looking down: I uh
Reggie: I don’t think that’s the teleportation…
Alex: … *holds down skirt* let’s move on.
12-year-old Luke: Reggie, truth or dare?
Reggie: truth
Luke: uh… how much money would it take for you to kiss a boy?
Reggie: ummm-
Alex, not even playing: I’d do it for free
All: …
Alex: what?! It’s not like I’m gay or anything, I just don’t think it’s a big deal. I mean it’s a kiss, who really cares?
*two weeks later*
Alex: *throws garage doors open* GUYS I THINK I’M GAY
Bobby: wow. Wonder what gave you that idea.
Alex: okay look, I know I can be high-strung but I don’t think I’m that bad
Alex: I just get stressed out and it makes me overthink stuff
Alex: it’s just… all the time. But that’s normal, right?
Luke: not really
Bobby: yeah I usually only do that when I’m having a real bad day
Reggie: dude ignore them! That’s totally normal
Alex: thank you!
Reggie: yeah I mean whenever I hang out with my parents, I feel exactly like you do :D
Alex:
Alex:
Alex:
Alex: okay fine I think I need therapy.
Alex: *storms into the studio and collapses on couch*
Reggie: woah hey are you okay?
Alex, crying: what do you think
Reggie: do you… wanna talk about it?
Alex: definitely not.
Reggie: *holds out a handkerchief questioningly*
Reggie: oh wait no-
Alex: *takes it and starts pulling a chain of handkerchiefs from Reggie’s sleeve*
Alex:
Reggie:
Alex:
Reggie:the club put me back in my magic phase
Alex, researching: apparently one of the symptoms of ADHD is that you get tired when you have caffeine
Luke: what? But that’s normal
Alex: apparently not
Reggie: nah Luke’s right that’s totally normal, caffeine makes you calmer
Julie: … it’s not supposed to
Reggie: yeah it is
Reggie: that’s why they’re called energy drinks
Reggie: they give you the energy to focus
Luke: *nods*
Julie:
Alex:
Julie: I wonder if Doctor Turner has any ghost colleagues…
Anyway I’m back on my “Reggie’s an asshole” agenda. He’s a very sweet kid, but he’s also the only one who ever actually disrespects Julie or calls Alex sensitive, and he’s just as ready to insult Luke as Alex is. That boy is absolutely meaner than Alex is, the only difference is that he’s more openly dumb and giggly so everybody thinks he couldn’t possibly be mean
It’s why Alex and Reggie are best friends to begin with. They’re both assholes and they’re both dumb and giggly but they’re open about the opposite things
Alex swears like it’s punctuation, Luke swears to prove a point, Bobby swears when he’s exasperated, and Reggie has sworn exactly one time and the whole conversation ground to a halt because they were all so stunned by it
Julie: I’ve been thinking about something, and I don’t think I really know anything about you guys
Luke: what? You know a bunch of stuff about us
Julie: I know some stuff about your music and that you had bad times with your parents
Julie: you’ve barely told me anything about your lives. I mean I barely knew Bobby’s namebefore we found out about Trevor. It’s not super fair
Alex: she’s got a point, we pretty much only talk music
Julie: thank you! Why don’t you tell me about… I dunno, favourite holidays?
Luke: oh. Uh none of us really celebrate any holidays anymore
Julie: wait seriously? Is it coz of the whole ghost thing?
Alex: nah I just have religious trauma
Luke: and I have… Christmas trauma, I guess. Alex said it generalised to other holidays or something
Reggie: I just hate capitalism :D
Julie: …….. yep dunno where to go from here, thanks guys
Happy pride month
I’m not sure what I find funnier: the guys being these sweet dumbasses who have been going out with fake ids and getting absolutely wasted since they were like fifteen; or them being sweethearts who are very willing to commit literal felonies to get a gig but also adamantly refuse to drink alcohol because they’re underage and that’s illegal!! >:((((
Wait no I made up my mind, it’s funniest if it’s a combination
Julie asks the guys if they’d ever gotten drunk and Luke immediately goes ‘nah man we were too young to drink’. Only for Reggie to bump Alex’s arm and go ‘oh dude you remember when he was out of town so we went on a bender?’, then Alex just sighs and says ‘yeah that was my first time at a gay bar. I miss drinking’. And Luke looks Scandalised

Ok, so we’re going with witch?
