"Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo!" Flower sang happily, skipping across a field of daisies, picking ones that seemed perfect for her. She adored being by herself, to her thoughts, but sometimes that got boring. Flower continued to hum a tune while picking the daises, stepping on decaying twigs and rustled leaves. She was careful to not hurt any other wildlife out there, as she is one. She continued on her stroll, smiling happily as her skin brushed against the petals of the other flowers. She spotted a singular plant, one that looked ever so lonely just by itself among a couple of patches of grass.

Flower walked closer towards it, noticing it was one of her favorites, aka herself. "Oh wow! This seems weird but, oh look how adorable it looks!" She spoke to, particularly no one. Whilst Flower examined the flower, she carefully placed it in her bag, spinning on her heel to walk off before something startled her, causing Flower to fall over on her bottom. "Oofh- What was that?" She looked around, searching for the cause of her troubles. Flower finally looked up, her eyes widening in terror before a shriek erupted from her lips.

"Good day, Losers!" Leafy chirped, waving at her fellow team members. "Ugh, just kill me already." Firey groaned in annoyance. Leafy ignored him and continued with her greeting, "Since it's such a lovely day, we should all be feeling lovely; don't ya think?" She smiled widely. The rest didn't answer, exchanging a few glances at each other.
It was silent for a while, this made Leafy very much uncomfortable. The lemon leaf let out a nervous chuckle before speaking up again. "W-Well I'll be off! Uh- Have a good day— and think positively!" Leafy speed walked towards the door of the team clubhouse thing idk.

She sighed, continuing to wander off to well- wherever. Leafy wasn't exactly paying attention to where she was going, because she had bumped into someobject, that being Grassy. "Oh! I'm so sorry, Grassy. I wasn't looking where I was going.." Leafy told the younger plant-like object. "That's ok! Grassy forgives you." He replied innocently. This lightened up Leafy's mood, she liked talking to her siblings. "Right! Well uhm- Do you know where Flower is? She promised we'd hang out after she went for a stroll yesterday but she didn't come back!" Leafy explained, placing a hand on her hip. "No..Grassy doesn't know where Flower is, but Grassy thinks she is with her team- te- m- mob-" Grassy tried pronouncing the last word, but much to his surprise, he couldn't. "Team members, right. You're so smart Grassy!" Leafy pat his hair(?) making the younger plant giggle.

"Well, I'll be off! Say hi to Robot Flower for me!" The lemon leaf spun around, skipping toward the IANCE team members. Grassy waved before waddling off to wherever. As Leafy skipped towards IANCE, she noticed her cousin, via, Flower wasn't present but then again, she could just be oversleeping— again. "Hi IANCE! Is Flower around here?" She asked, her ever-so-wide smile present. "Erm- No, We haven't seen Flower in Like, Forever." Match answered, rolling her eyes. "O-Oh well— If she does come by, Please tell her to uh- Come speak to me, please." Leafy's smile faltered a bit before she put it back up.

"Like, whatever." Match waved her off, continuing her conversation with Ruby. Leafy huffed; "Well you could've been more nicer about it." She walked off annoyed, yet still wondering where the Floral Queen herself would be. As she wandered across the fields, Leafy began to overthink. What if she got kidnapped? What if she died— No, she would've gotten recovered.. What if Flower..ditched them? No. Flower wouldn't do that, especially not for a BFDI. This is what the whole purpose of staying here was for, right? Just to work, kill, and tire yourself, all for nothing..? Wouldn't seem right, it isn't right. Flower is still here, just probably picking daisies or something.

Leafy sat down at a table, still thinking of where her cousin could be before getting interrupted by no other than a Coiny. "Hey, Leafy..You alright? You seem pretty..stressed." He asked,sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Oh no, not at all!" Leafy shook her hands in denial "I'm just thinking about where Flower is.." She trailed off. "You're stressed." Coiny deadpanned. Leafy looked up at him, slightly offended. "Wh- I am not?!" She sneered. "Leafy, I'm a medic, studying to be a doctor, I know the object body more than you do. And you're about life! How ironic." The cent looked at her, grinning. "Coiny, if you came here just to insult me;yo-you better stop!" Leafy pouted, turning away.

"I'm not, I'm not! But seriously, you're stressed over Flower." Coiny put a hand on the lemon leafs, causing her to look over at him. "I-" Leafy started but was interrupted by the copper coin. "You are. But there's no need to be stressed, she's probably doing Flower things right now.." He trailed off. "Y-Yeah, you're right. Alright! I'm done sulking." Leafy smiled, turning back around to Coiny, who was aghast at her sudden mood change. "Uh— Coiny?" Leafy snapped her fingers, grabbing his attention. "Sorry— Um- You can just..do that?" Coiny squinted his eyes. "Oh! Yeah! It's just become something that happens a lot." Leafy glanced to the side. "Okay..Err- I'm gonna uh..go to Pin..See you!" The penny sat up and walked off.

Leafy watched him closely, thinking about what he said. Flower is just doing Flower things! Yeah right. Bullshit, she knows Flower more than anyone here. Sure, the two don't talk much, but that's the only cause of the competition! Right?

.

You're overthinking this Leafy. "Oh, my branch.." Leafy sighed, rubbing her temples. "Maybe a nap would do well?" She questioned herself. The leaf smiled once again, walking over to the team thing idk. She opened the door and trotted towards her room— not until getting stopped by the fire hazard himself. "Ah- Firey! Please don't do that, you could've killed me." Leafy put a hand on her chest, breathing heavily. "Should've, anyways, why are you here? Didn't you just leave I dunno..20,30 minutes ago?" Firey asked, raising a brow. "Well yes— But I was just looking for Flower and I can't find her so-" "BOORRRINGG!" Firey interrupted her rudely, causing Leafy to be taken aback. "Say, when are you leaving?" The flame asked, smirking. Leafy's eyes widened at the remark. "I- WHAT?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "Yknow, cause nobody here ACTUALLY likes you?" Firey moved closer to her. "Firey— Move back or I'll die!" Leafy stepped back, yes, this wouldn't be the first time Firey had killed her, but it was a painful experience. "And that's a bad thing?" He sneered.

Leafy shook her head, walking around him. "I'm just joking!" He called back after her. Leafy Simply ignored him, walking into her room and closing the door, making sure to not slam it. The leaf sighed, flopping onto her bed, embracing the fluffy sheets that were there. She stared up at the wall, relaxing herself and letting the drowsiness take over, pulling the leaf into a deep slumber.

Chapter I
WHERE'D FLOWER GO?

Chapter Text

Two days had passed since Flower's sudden disappearance and Leafy began to grow worried. She kept pestering the IANCE Team members to the point where they threatened to tell Four about her, which would get her killed and then recovered for 'cheating.' It seemed as if Flower's teammates didn't care about her well-being— well, they didn't, but she kinda hoped Ruby did. The two were once close. "Four?" Leafy walked over to the integer, keeping their distance in case he decided to harm her. "Could you recover Flower?" She asked in a hushed tone. "No can do." Four blinked,glaring at her. Leafy furrowed her eyebrows. "Huh- Why?" She crossed her arms. "She isn't dead." The number stared into space. "Then where is she?" Leafy was relieved her cousin didn't die out there,but still worried on where she could be.

"...I don't know." Four looked down,seemingly worried. "What do you mean: you don't know?" Leafy raised a brow. "I just don't know..What more do you need to know,Leafy?" Four glared daggers at the leaf,she went stiff at his sudden movement. "I- Sorry..Just worried." Leafy sighed,rubbing her arm. "Mmph,don't care. I have my own things to worry about." Four waved her off,rolling his eyes. "Okay..Uh— Bye Fourty Four!" The Lemon Leaf walked off,releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Flower where are you.." She thought aloud,not expecting an answer,really but of course,there's some people out there that can't mind their business. "Probably dying somewhere!" Someobject answered. Well,more like somefood. "Gelatin— please don't do that! Flower is most likely ok and is maybe lost!.." Leafy objected,crossing her arms. "Whatever helps you sleep at night!" Gelatin shrugged. "Gelatin,you really aren't helping right now!" The leaf huffed,pushing past Gelatin who dramatically gasped.

——————

"How about summoning things?" X asked Four,placing their hand on his. Four eyed them before sighing and trying. Much to their surprise,nothing happened,making the two look at each other in worry. "Recover-" "No X,Damnit!" Four screeched,holding his head in frustration. X let out a shaky breath,thinking on what else Four could try. An idea popped in their head,X did a small smile before facing the number once again. "What about sending stuff to The EXIT?" They asked.

Four thought for a moment,taking their hands off their head. "I guess I could try.." He huffed,making X smile wider. "But if this doesn't work then I'll— I really can't do anything actually.." Four furrowed their eyebrows. "Hey..It'll be okay,plus,you'll be just like me!" X exclaimed. Four stared at them before a small smile crept up its face. Four took a deep breath,grabbing a random twig that was on the floor and tried sending it to the exit. He concentrated on it,watching as the twig slowly moved towards him,sweat pooling down his face,he grunted, trying their hardest to do the task that was at hand. Four gripped the grass in frustration,the twig had stopped moving. "FUCK." They growled,ripping the grass from the ground.

X placed a hand on its back,soothingly. "Want me to get you a juice box?" They asked quietly. "Mm..Yes please." The number sighed,relaxing their hands and face. X smiled once again,getting up from the spot the two were at and walked to get a juice box. What they didn't notice was that Four DID do something,cause the EXITors where back on the field.

—————

"Pence Pence!" "Is that Liy?" "Firey Jr! Yay!" "Oh..8-ball." The teams rejoiced or well,groaned in annoyance of their eliminated teammates coming back. "Is this some sort of challenge?" Saw asked,looking over at Gaty. "Maybe..?" She trailed off. "Should we ask Four?" The tool muttered. "Ehh.." Gaty hissed. "I'll do it." Taco sighed,walking towards the host. "There she goes,Abandoning us,AGAIN!" Book assumed,causing Taco to roll her eyes.

"Uhm— Four! Clarification, PLEASE?" Taco asked,causing Four to flare at her. "What?" He asked,clearly dumbfounded. "Why are the eliminated contestants here?" Taco snapped her fingers towards the other teams. Four looked at them and his eyes widened. "I didn't- I wasn't supposed to do that." They groaned,pinching the bridge of their 'nose.' "Mmm..Go back to your team,I-I'll explain.." Four waved her off. Taco nodded slightly before walking back to her team.

"So? What'd they say?" Saw asked. Taco shrugged; "I didn't really get an answer,but he should explain very soon." Saw and Gaty looked at eachother before nodding.

————

"Contestants!" Four screeched,catching the attention of everyone. "As you can see,Some of your team members have come back from the EXIT." "YEAH, WHY." Golfball grit her teeth,quiet upset 8-ball was back on her team. "Let me finish!" Four groaned,rubbing his temples tiredly. "None of what happened was in my control— My powers aren't..working." This made the contestants gasp,in worry and in glory. "Yoi can atloist recoiver us..roight?" Bubble shuddered at the thought of her not being able to come back. At All. Four stayed silent,like it knew what Bubble was thinking. Their silence made others find the answer themselves.

"Uhh— As you may or may not have noticed, Flower has uhm disappeared for some reason..I don't really know." Four shrugged. "What happened to Flower..?" Grassy frowned,Blocky pat his back. "Nothing,she'll be fine." He reassured the child. "So I'll be picking a random team to go looking for her! Yay!" Four clapped slightly. "Oh! Can my team g-" Leafy was cut off by Four. "Team Ice Cube." He deadpanned. Leafy sighed,sitting on the grass. "If you find Flower,you get a sticker!" Gelatin gasped. "Guys,we better find Flower." He turned to look at his team,smiling widely and showing off his brand new coloured braces. "And if you guys don't find Flower..you— you just won't get any stickers." The integer snapped their fingers before soon realizing nothing would happen. It sighed and looked at the team. "Just— go.." Four mumbled,walking off to where X was.

Chapter II
PROBABLY DYING SOMEWHERE

Chapter Text

"Guys,I dunno how to feel about this!" Naily whined. "Well,we can't exactly back out of it.." Barfbag scratched her neck. Sure,Four had no powers,but their presence was enough to make a baby cry. "Plus,you all saw how happy Gelatin was out there. If we disagreed he'd probably throw a tantrum." She continued,sighing. "I heard that!" Gelatin called out,making the two females groan. "Yeah— Yeah sorry,Gelatin." Barfbag muttered making Gelatin look back over at her. "Are you guys really scared over this?" He put a hand on his hip. "Not exactly..It's just weird on how Flower just left like that..Yknow?" Barfbag clicked her tongue. "No,I don't know actually." Gelatin deadpanned before laughing hysterically.

"Can you three please hurry up?!" Firey Jr. called back,making them look at him. The flame was sitting atop Bomby's head,careful to not extinguish him. "What's got you so hot? Don't answer that." Gelatin remarked while giggling. "Oh my gosh— Gelatin do you take anything seriously?!" Junior screeched;Gelatin simply shrugged. "Well, It depends on what Anything said..If y'know what I mean.." He snickered,causing the fire hazard to grumble. "I might not give not one,or two shits on Flower; But if it stops Leafy on terrorizing us,I'll do anything!" He squeaked. "I've only been here a day and she's driving me nuts—" "DEEZ NUTZ!" Gelatin interrupted,earning a few glares. "C'Mon,that was funny!" "Was Not!" Donut sighed.

"Guys,We have to hurry so we can go back and see ICECUUBEE!!" Bracelety shrieked. "Nobody cares about Ice cube!" Firey Jr. rolled his eyes making Bracelety gasp. "How DARE YOU!" She snapped. "Ugh! You guys are a bunch of wimps,I don't like any of you— This team sucks!" Junior walked ahead of the team,still behind Spongey. "I guess he's got the case of ligma." "GELATIN." Donut looked over at him rather annoyed. "Donut." Gelatin smiled,baring his braces. "Uhm..Guys?" Spongey spoke,looking concerned. "Yeah,Spongey?" Barfbag walked up to him.

"Firey Jr...He's gone."

"I can't believe this." Tree paced around. "If Four can't recover us,preventing death will be way harder." The Brit sighed. "Maybe It will be easier." Remote blankly replied. "Remote's right,most objects will try not to die since they won't come back." Black hole hovered above them. Tree thought for a bit before silently agreeing. "Hey,Death P.A.C.T." A rough voice called out making them look at the source of sound.

"Oh,Blocky..What do you need?" Tree cleared his throat stepping up to the red building block. Blocky had a reputation of being rowdy and killing others. But would he in these conditions?

.

Don't answer that.

"Grassy here wanted to stay with you..He's..Scared about Flower." Blocky motioned to Grassy who was next to him. Tree nodded,and took Grassy's hand. Who wouldn't be scared if their cousin went missing? Blocky waved to Grassy and walked off to his team. "Wait— Blocky!" Pen ran after him,he's his best friends after all. Tree eyed Pen before walking closer to his teammates. "Hi Grassy." Remote waved. "Mmph.." Grassy glanced to the side,a visible frown on his face.

This concerned the team. Not once had they seen Grassy in such a mood— well,not when he lost his first tooth,but still. "Grassy,c'mere.." Tree sat on the ground,patting beside him. Grassy crawled over,scooting closer to Tree. "I know this thing could be scary for you,believe me,Leafy is a wreck right now. But as your older sibling besides her,I am gonna make sure you feel better." Tree pointed at himself,placing his other arm around Grassy,who smiled slightly. "Grassy apre- prank- apreci-" The younger plant stammered,which made Tree chuckle. "Appreciate." He corrected. "Yeah— Grassy appreciates it."

The scene made the other members of Death P.A.C.T awe,causing Tree to glare at them. "Grassy's..sleepy.." Grassy yawned,leaning onto Tree's lap. "Mhm.." Tree sighed. The patch of Grass soon dozed off in his older brother's lap,dreaming of whatever. It was silent,well— other than Black Hole's presence,but still. Very much peaceful,so quiet,so nice. "The silence is loud." Bottle smiled.

"HELP!" An object shrieked. The sudden noise caused Grassy to jolt wake from his little nap. "IT'S FIREY JR— HE'S NOT RESPONDING TO US!" Bomby ran out the forest,dropping Naily, who had Firey Jr. on her back,onto the ground. The rest of the team followed out the forest,each panting heavily. "What?" Firey,who wasn't too far away, raised a brow. "WEWEREJUSTWALKINGANDBEGOTALLMADSOHEWENTAHEADOFUSANDWELOOKEDAWAYFORASECONDANDSPONGEYSAIDHEWASGONE—" Bomby explained rather quickly. "Relax Bomby— what happened?" Coiny walked over. Remember? Medic?

"I- Ok.." Bomby took a few breaths,sweat dropping from his face as he did so. "Ok..So we were watching him,he was on my head and then we got into this little argument and Junior got all mad so he hopped off and went behind Spongey." He explained,the words becoming more audible. Coiny nodded,motioning him to continue. "And we looked away for a second— A SECOND! AND HE WAS GONE." Bomby started walking in circles,the adrenaline from running still in his body. "Deep breaths,Bomby." Coiny crossed his arms,patiently.

"Then we went to go look for him,and we found him at a field of daises and he was just staring at them— His eyes were wide like he was shocked or scared but- HE WONT RESPOND TO US! ANYTHING HE SAYS IS JUST— AAAH." Bomby lost his shit,he held his head and ran to his teams mickey mouse club house shit I DONT KNOW.

Coiny thought for a bit. "Can I, I dunno, see him?" He looked over at Naily. "Right-" She let Jr. fall onto the floor. Coiny stared him down a bit,taking in his movements and breathing cycle— It was uneven, and he was rocking back and forth with his knees to his chest. "Hm." Coiny snapped his fingers in front of Firey Jr. The flame blinked and looked at Coiny rather afraid of something. "So? What's up with him?!" Firey asked,who came over after Bomby left. "He's shellshocked." "WHAT?"

"Shellshocked,whatever Junior saw,scared him,really." Coiny explained,stepping back. Firey scooped Jr. into his arms,watching as he looked around frantically. "You sure he's shellshocked and not- OW-" Gelatin asked but soon grumbled in pain after Donut knocked him upside the head. "Is this like..permanent?" Firey looked over to Coiny who was walking off. "No,he may get PTSD tho— Ha!" The penny shrugged.

Firey groaned before looking back at Team Icecube. "Uh- Thanks or whatever.." He cleared his throat,glancing at Jr. once more before walking to his team. "Ok so do we like go back there or-" "NO."

Chapter III
OOPS!

Chapter Text

A day passed since the incident. Firey has been extra cautious with Jr. Who could've blamed him? It's his son after all..Anyways— Leafy grew more worried and Coiny could tell. Any 'Are you okay?'s would immediately get turned down. The penny wasn't the only one who noticed— Pin too. She and Leafy were close..beside Coiny. The two were actually scared for her well being. But they weren't the only team that had this problem.

Death P.A.C.T and ABNTT.

Tree seemed to be taking it lightly,for the sake of his teams worries, but really,he wasn't doing so great himself. Grassy too,sure,his brain makes things harder for him to understand,but he's not stupid y'know. Robot Flower? Well,she might not actually be related to them but she and Flower were close enough to be considered family.

Right now,Leafy is staring at her ceiling,wondering where Flower could be. "Flower disappeared three days ago..where did she go last?" She asked herself. Sitting up,she looked at her window,smiling at the vase of daises that resided there. Wait..Daises?

"Then we went went to look for him,and

"Shit— Flower said she was going for a stroll in the forest..at A FIELD OF DAISES." Leafy got off her bed,and went out her room. Whatever Junior saw out there,must've took Flower..Right? No. Leafy's being Delusional. She peeked from the corner to make sure the coast was clear: Who wouldn't? Pestering a child who's clearly not stable isn't a good image for yourself.

...

Who cares.

"Junior? It's Leafy..I dunno if you can hear me but I really need your help." Leafy bent down to his height. Firey Jr. simply looked at Leafy,his eyes still wide,and he had eyebags. That isn't normal for a child. "..Do you..remember what you saw? When you went to look for Flower?" She held his hand for comfort. Junior stared at her before glancing to the side,making sure no one was there. He crawled closer to Leafy,motioning for her to lean her head down. Leafy did as told waiting on Junior to do whatever he was doing. He whispered something into her 'ear' making Leafy widened her eyes.

Junior leaned back,he panted heavily, the description he gave to Leafy made him also view that monster again,making him gulp or whatever IM GETTING GRR. The plant looked at Firey Junior for clarification. "I- Are you s-sure?" She stuttered,feeling uneasy herself. The hazard nodded rapidly,looking around again. "I- This is a lot to take in—"

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Leafy jumped,relaxing once she saw who it was. Firey glared at her, walking around to pick up Jr. "You didn't answer my question. Cause,Junior looks worse than before." He hissed. Leafy rolled her eyes,getting up and dusting herself off. "I didn't do anything Firey,I was just checking up on him." She scoffed. "Mhm..sure." The flame walked off,borderline pissed on Leafy just existing.

Leafy rolled her eyes,trotting to the exit of the house.

—————

"Field of daises.." Leafy walked around in circles,other objects staring at her in worry or confusion. "Where would a field of daises be?" Why ask? "Cause I need to find my cousin!" Too bad,I don't know. "Of course you don't— Why would I ask." Just kidding! I do :) "Really? Where is she?!" Stop being delusional.

"Huh?" Leafy blinked,there she saw Pin holding her. "Damnit.." Pin let her go,pinching the bridge of her nose. "You had me worried there.." The thumbtack put her hands on her hips. "My bad..I was just uhm.." "Leafy your stem is shaking."

Leafy tilted her head before looking down and gasping. "Err- Ignore it? I don't really know what's going on." She shrugged. Pin nodded,speaking up again. "You look like you're thinking hard about something..What's up?" She asked.

Leafy shook her head violently. "Nothing is wrong! I'm just—" Maybe you should ask her where a field of daises would be,bumass. "Don't call me a.." Leafy trailed off,looking at Pin again. She cleared her throat; "Pin,do you know where a certain type of flower would be?"
Pin raised a brow. Hoe you made her suspicious of you. 'I'm trying my best here.' Leafy coughed. "Yknow..Daises? I really really like them." Liar. 'I'm going to kill myself.' You wouldn't,and that wouldn't get rid of me :3

The leaf put a hand on her head,groaning. Pin squinted her eyes,looking Leafy up and down before sighing. "Yeah,There's some in the forest." Leafy smiled. "Wanna go pick some?" She held her hand out. "Sure,Like a date?" Pin took Leafy's hand. "Why not." The two ventured into the forest.

——————

"Blocky?" The building block turned around to the source of sound,sighing realizing who it was. "Oh..What do you want,Basketball?" He grunted. "Very kind..Anywho,where's Grassy?" Basketball sat crisscrossed on the ground. "He's with his brother. No need to worry." Blocky sighed. "Mhm.."

Pretty silent huh? Well guess what,I don't like silence.

"Is that..SNOW?!" Golf ball shrieked,catching the attention of most contestants,even the hosts. "In the middle of summer?" Tennis ball tilted his head. Blocky looked up. Holy shit it actually was snowing. "What.." He furrowed his brows. "I don't see the big deal,this is wonderful!" Snowball bragged at his team. "That's only cause you're made of snow!" "And?"

"Firey Jr. Cant live in this weather!" Firey gasped. "Just keep him warm,trust me." Coiny pat the flame's back. What? He's literally made out of metal. "But the forecast was clear skies.." Golf ball mumbled. "TB! Get over here,I'm gonna find out why it's snowing." "..Alright."

——————

"You did WHAT?" Pin stared at Leafy,disappointed. "I was desperate! You'd do the same thing.." Now you know DAMN well. "I would not! Sigh.." Pin rubbed her temples. Leafy looked away,ashamed of herself. "But as I was saying..Junior said he saw Flower? But I don't believe it!" She pouted;Pin raised a brow. "What'd he say?" She stopped walking,making the other so the same. "Well,Jr. said she had no eyes—

"It was Flower,she had no eyes..or a mouth- I- I didn't like it at ALL."

Leafy explained the memory. Pin widened her eyes,her breath hitched picturing it. "B-But maybe he's exaggerating— Maybe Flower is still-" "Leafy.." Leafy looked at her partner,teary-eyed. "Sure,Firey Jr. isn't in the best state right now,but maybe he was telling the truth..?" The thumbtack trailed off,smiling awkwardly. "I- I don't want to believe that." Leafy sighed.

The silence is loud. 'Oh shut up.' Hey look,white rain. 'Rain isn't white.' Well look for yourself Bill Nye The Science Guy.

Leafy scoffed,looking up;noticing the sudden change in weather. "Oh."

Chapter IV
THATS SUSPICIOUS

Chapter Text

"I can't believe this.." Firey mumbled,looking out a window. "Dude, relax. It's not like it's gonna go away if you stare at it." Coiny rolled his eyes making the Flame groan in frustration. "It's like the universe just WANTS me or Jr. dead." Well.

WELL.

"You might just die if you keep cursing the universe." The copper coin shrugged. "Hm." Firey huffed,going to another room..Maybe to Firey Jr...He needs to keep him warm so obviously. Coiny eyed him,soon retreating to his own room.

—————

"I don't understand how you can just..BE out there." Donut mumbled through a window. Gelatin was currently outside reading a comic book;while there's a blizzard. "It's not hurting me to be honest..What's up your ass?" The jello rolled his eyes,chomping down some skittles. Don't frowned at the remark,sighing he closed the window blinds.

Gelatin shrugged,continuing to read his spider-man comic. Due to his nonchalantness,the dessert didn't notice he was freezing—Literally. "Gelatin,get inside." He looked up,noticing Donut holding and umbrella and wearing a coat. "You cant tell me that." Gelatin stuck his tongue out. In response,Donut rolled his eyes. "You're frozen."

Now this caught Gelatin's attention. He looked down at himself. "Oh." Donut grumbled at his stupidity,lending the dessert a hand. "Eh,it happens." "GET INSI-"

—————

"FOUR- Four.." Pin approached the two hosts out of breath. "What..?" Four groaned,holding X's hand. "I- FLOWER- Me and Leafy saw a glimpse of her-" Pin collapsed into the snow,soon getting up from the cold. The two blinked,looking at eachother before Four spoke up again. "That concerns me why.." The thumbtack looked at the integer,jaw dropped before she stammered.

"Wh- B-Because she's your contestant and we have to help her!" "Cool story,but I wonder why you thought telling me was gonna help." Four scratched their neck. "Four.." X squeezed the others hand quite hard making the integer mutter a tiny 'ow' before sighing. "Mmfine..Your team can go look for her."

Pin smiled slightly but it faltered once she realized the atmosphere. "I-In this weather? Isn't that kind of-" "Do you want me to change my mind?" Four threatened,making Pin go stiff. "Sorry." She mumbled,walking off to her team house thing PLEASE IM STRUGGLING.

"Someone will die." "Foreshadowing,is it?" "Maybe :)"

—————

"WHAT." Firey screamed,slamming his hand on the nearby counter. "You don't have to come,yknow.." Need rolled her eyes,leaning on said counter.

Shit.

She's right.

Idiot.

"I- But still,you know how Four gets!" The hazard threw his hands in the air,pacing around the room. "Dude,you're literally gonna die and Four can't recover you. Do you think they're gonna force you to go?" Coiny raised a brow. "Don't get smart with me,Coiny." Firey eyed him. "Already am smart,wouldn't wanna waste it on your stupidity."

Firey grumbled,flaring up. "I know you're hot and all,but no need to get hotter." Coiny waved him off. The silence is loud. "Wh- WHAT?" Firey dimmed a bit taken back by Coiny's choice of words. "Ew- anyways,are we gonna go or not?" Clock broke the tension,thankfully.

"Yes please." Leafy smiled sweetly. Clock sighed. "Alright,hurry up."

——-SORRY THIS IS HOPEFULLY THE LAST ONE-——

"Pretty forest." Needle broke the ever occurring silence. "Huh? Oh,yeah." Leafy said blankly,holding her partners hand. Emo ass bitch.

"Loser— I'm scared!" Cake shuddered,getting closer to Loser. "Don't,plus:What's the worse that could happen?" The cube replied,patting Cake's side. The dessert looked around,an uneasy feeling washing over him. "Loser,I really don't think-" "Daises,my favorite!" The cuboid said in his old man voice. Cake squeaked,abruptly stopping at the sight. "M-maybe we should turn back.." Cake smiled sheepishly. Loser,who clearly didn't wanna leave,tried being as kind as possible. "Cake,please." He sighed,walking across the rows of daises,resting his hands on them.

Cake seethed,looking off to the side;Sure,he loved Loser dearly,but they had their times to be very stubborn. "A Tulip! I love those!" Loser exclaimed,snapping Cake out of his thoughts. He followed after the cube,not in the mood to protest anymore. Loser picked the flower,holding it close to his chest.

Soon enough,his head started to hurt. "Oh- ow." Loser held the side of his head,this caught Cake's attention making him walk closer to his friend. "Loser?" Cake tilted his head,worry in his voice. "It's just a headache— No wor- ow!" The cube dropped the tulip,clasping his other hand on his head. "Loser are you ok?!" Cake squeaked. The so simple headache,turned to a migraine— what's worser than a migraine? Cluster headache.

Loser suddenly went limp,falling into the dirty ass snow. Cake gasped,stepping back a little before rushing to Loser's aid. "Loser?! Get up— please! I- I can't do this without you! Even when you got eliminated I couldn't!" The dessert teared up,holding Loser close with his feet. He soon started to weep hysterically begging for the hero of this team to get up. "Lo- ose-er...?" Cake choked out,noticing Loser gripping onto Cake's leg. "Loser that hurts-" He sniffled,trying to pry his leg from Loser. "Cake.." He wheezed out.

"I- yes?" Cake's breath hitched at Loser's voice. "Cake." Cake stiffened,answering yet again. "Loser?" "C̸̬̐-̵̫͠Ĉ̴̘Ä̴͙-̵̖͊A̸̲͂K̵̩̂È̸̳-̴̛̙Ē̷̡"

————————-

"We should go back." Clock huffed,dragging his feet in the snow;The blizzard had calmed down by now. "We can't,Loser and Cake are still out there." Coiny scoffed,leaning on a nearby tree. Clock eyed him,clearing his throat. "But their taking too long! They could be dead for all I care." Gasps erupted from around him. "Did you just wish death upon Loser?" Needle looked at Clock in pure disgust. He rolled his eyes,turning from his teammates. "Dude,what is up with you? First you're rushing us to get here,and now you're rushing us to get out of here? Pick a damn side." Coiny retorted,crossing his arms.

"Quiet— I was rushing you cause I didn't wanna hear you and your boyfriend flirt." Clock sighed,earning a glare from Coiny. "Trust me,you both get very cringey." He muttered. "Anywho,are we gonna go or not?" "Are you deaf? We're not leaving witho-" And then there was a scream :)

"Well that's not good." Clock thought aloud. "Th-That was Cake." Eggy looked down. "So are we still leaving?" Coiny eyed Clock,as he groaned. "Sorry;guess I was wrong— Let's go for them." "Right." Yay walking to danger time.

And like anyone in any horror movie,there's always a protester. "Should we really be going to them..?" Needle rubbed her elbow,looking down worriedly. "You sound like Clock." "Heyy >:("

"But seriously,It's like anyobject in a horror movie." She continued. "Ehh,Atleast we have a smart person here." Pin smiled,pointing at Coiny. "Thanks Pin,but you just called yourself dumb." He returned the smile. "D-Does anyone else hear that..?" Eggy came to a halt,making the others stop too. "Depends,what're you hearing?" Leafy held Pin's hand tighter,making her smile wider.

"Eating..like..right behind those bushes." Eggy used her foot to point in the direction of the sound. "What could some object be eating right now? Snow?" Pin placed her hand on her hip. "Put it down,Coiny." She sighed. Coiny muttered something before dropping the ice. "Well,should we check it out?" Needle shrugged. "Sacrifice Clock." A certain leaf deadpanned before clasping her hands over her mouth. "Wh-WHAT?" Clock furrowed his eyebrows,stepping back a little. "I'm so so SO sorry! That- I wasn't- It was a intrusive thought,Please don't take it to heart!"

Clock stared at her before nodding. "We should all look at once,it's better." Coiny glanced at the bushes. "Sure I guess." Pin replied,taking Leafy's hand again.

The silence made the team uneasy as they approached what could be making that sound. That silence was paused as the bushes were moved and the sight they all saw was..horrifying.

"L-Loser..?"

No.

That isn't Loser.

At least

Not anymore.

Coiny who was in the front was the first to act; he ran over to the two and tried pulling the cuboid off what was left of Cake. A good chunk of his side was eaten out,flesh and well bones was being shown and did that smell good?

HA

no.

Loser was thrashing around in Coiny's grasp,trying desperately to pull himself away just so he could continue his dessert.He let out a inhumane screech,similar to Fours but more idk bone chilling. "Are you gonna help me or not?!" Coiny called out,making Needle rush over. "Is Cake..okay..?" "DOES HE LOOK OKAY TO YOU."

"Oh my god.." Eggy turned away,holding back vomit. Meanwhile, Coiny and Needle had gotten Loser from Cake. But now,they had to make sure Loser didn't try eating them.Ha. "Maybe throwing him?" Needle asked,pinning Loser to the floor. "Throwing Los- Actually,yeah." Coiny sighed,grabbing the cube by his legs with Needle grabbing his arms. The two started swinging him to build up force. "THROW." And they did just that,sending Loser to wherever. He wasn't there anymore.

"So are we FINALLY agreeing on leaving them behind?" "CLOCK BE MORE CONSIDERATE." "Oh, SO YOU WANT TO BE IN DANGER?"

And then came the arguing. They began yelling towards eachother,Needle and Coiny looked at eachother in shock before facing the others again. "EVERYONE SHUT UP." Needle snapped,catching their attention. "WE GET IT, WERE ALL UPSET BUT LOSER IS..I DONT EVEN KNOW! BUT FIGHTING WONT MAKE CAKE RESURRECT." She continued,stepping towards them. "Also,WERE IN THE WOODS,SO PLEASE,LET'S DO THIS SOMEPLACE ELSE." The team looked around,realizing she was right. "Easy,Needle. But she's right,let's go back." Coiny walked up to Needle,patting her back.

"About time." "Shut up Clock."

—————

"I let you out for half two hours and you've lost two team members." Four rubbed their temples,annoyed. "Four..be nice." X mumbled,rubbing their elbow. The integer glared at the variable before sighing. "Sorry..I guess." He scratched its neck awkwardly. "Yeah,it- it's fine." Leafy smiled warmly before waking off to the

thing.

Upon entering,she was greeted with the smell of charcoal,chocolate,metal and other things. So like— Are you gonna put off the Flower job?? 'No,I'm still convinced she's there.' Nooo :( "Ha ha." The leaf deadpanned,walking up to her room.

W FIREY,FIREY JR. & COINY

"You took way too long." Firey groaned,sitting criss crossed with Jr. "Oh,so it's my fault Loser got bamboozled and Cake is dead?" Coiny rolled his eyes,making Firey scoff. "Not funny." The hazard glared at him. "Hm..Sorry." He chuckled nervously.

Coiny placed his hand near Jr,allowing him to embrace the warmth from his skin. "Holy shit— he's really really cold." The two homos looked at eachother before looking over at Firey Jr. again. "Hypothermia..But that shouldn't be possible,he's literal fire." Coiny hovered his hand over Jr.'s head,the flame dimming out and less heat came from him. "It's probably cause he doesn't have a mind of his own right now.." Firey sighed,pinching the space between his eyes. Coiny glanced at him— soon looking back over to Jr.

"Just..warm him up. Should be better later on..hopefully." The copper coin sat up. "I'm getting to bed..it's been a very eventful day." He walked off. "Uh yeah- I guess.." Firey waved slightly;soon focusing back on Jr. who laid down on the carpet. How is it not on fire? Wattpad.

"Junior— Maybe you should get up." Firey trailed off,noticing the lack of movement from Jr.

"Junior?"

Chapter VI
I'VE TASTED DYING AND IT TASTED GOOOOOOOOD!

Chapter Text

"COINY!" Firey barged into said object's room, waking him up. "Dude- I said I was gonna sleep.." Coiny groggily said, rubbing his eyes. "So SO SORRY— It's Firey Jr., He won't get up!" The flame pulled Coiny off his bed. The cent snapped out of his sleepy state at the mention of Jr. "But I just left there— He was fine before.." He thought aloud, Firey pulling him out of his room. "I know..I-I don't even know what and why he just.." The flame frets, practically dragging the fellow homo. "Maybe he passed out..has he gotten enough sleep?" Coiny questioned, bending the corner into the living room where Firey Jr. resided. The two rushed to his aid, Coiny checking his eyes for colour, feeling his temperature which was surprisingly low.

"Coiny..Coiny what-whats wrong with him.." Firey whispered, fiddling with his fingers. "Firey I-" The coin stammered, soon checking Junior's Pulse.

Nothing.

Next arm maybe?

Nope.

"Firey-- Dude I'm sorry I-" Coiny looked over at the said flame.

"He- He's gone."

What.

Junior is dead.

His son is dead.

Why?

He was fine two minutes ago.

That's not fair.

"Firey!" The flame shook his head, wincing from the little tears that had escaped his eyes. "Are you..Are you okay..?" Coiny took Firey's hand, tilting his head slightly. "C-Coiny..My kid just died, right in my v-very own arms. Do I seem o-okay?"The flame looked down, and more tears pierced his skin, causing him to yelp. Coiny pats his back soothingly as Firey wept, either in pain or grief. Who knows? Not me hehe. Okay, that's a lie :3

"Dude, I'm sorry and all but you can't be here the whole night...I need to um..get rid of, y'know." The copper coin trailed off as Firey nodded. Coiny quickly went to get something to place Junior's corpse in. Once he returned, he put Junior in whatever idk and um Him and Firey went to like idk put him out 💖

im so writing gay kiss scene 😼/hj

So like, they're walking in the woods again, to like to place the thingy somewhere nice i think,,

It was pretty silent the whole walk— Other than the sound of stepping in the snow by Coiny since it was getting melted away by Firey. Neither of them liked this silence, but when you're a homo with another homo, it's difficult to start straight convos without making it gay!!

"So.." Coiny started, immediately regretting doing that. "Are you okay now?" He asked, glancing at Firey. The flame hummed in response making Coiny sigh. "Dude, stop sulking. You're no fun like that." He rolled his eyes. "Oh sure, I'll magically feel better after my son dies." Firey murmured, making Coiny seethe in frustration. "I know you're upset but you'll have to move on eventually." He held Firey's arm, making the flame stop abruptly. "I don't want to...Hell, I can't even move on about dream island." Firey spoke, his voice cracking. Coiny noticed this and caressed the flame's arm with his thumb.

"I get it. Regardless, you have to or Jr. Won't be able to rest. You want that for him, don't you?" The walking pride flag smiled sweetly, Firey reciprocated it sighing. "I guess you're right...Erm right here seems ok." He replied, pointing to some snow under a tree. Coiny nodded, walking to where Firey had pointed and placed Junior in it, his flame dying out concisely. Firey ambled closer to the scene, sighing "I'm gonna miss him." He muttered, taking hold of Coiny's hand "I know

Me too."

——————

"Where are Fire-y and Coin-y?" Pin asked the team members that were in the living room thing idk "Dunno, probably out with Jr." Needle shrugged, continuing to mess with her Gameboy. "Maybe we should tell Four— We don't know where they went and what could happen." Leafy came into view, rubbing her elbow. "Right, but we did-n't real-ly look for them so they could still be here.." Pin put her hand to her chin, thinking. "Just go tell Four and X to see if they're here. And if not, we just see what happens I guess." Clock chimed, ticking noises that emitted from him soothing most object's worries. "Ok..Ok sure."

W Four ig

"What makes you think I know where they are." Four questioned, quite annoyed. "Cause well— You're our host!" The thumbtack retorted soon regretting to raise their voice at Four. It glared at Pin, bringing his hand up and wriggling it. Pin gulped, preparing for the worst. Even without powers, the integer was very terrifying. "You're right!" Four exclaimed, smiling; Pin let out a breath, looking up at Four. "I'll think something out." They stared into space, gesturing for Pin to leave.

She nodded and went off to her team. Meanwhile, Four was thinking to themself, studying the teams and well— judging them. "Four?" The integer was taken from his thoughts as X came over holding a juice box for the two. "Yellow Face doesn't have anymore appley juice, so I got the orange one." It smiled handing the orange juice to Four; They returned the smile, plopping onto the grass below, X doing the same but more subtle. "Mmph..X, you still have your powers...right?" Four asked, slurping the beverage loudly. "Mhm!" The variable nodded, drinking its own OJ. "Thats good." The other pat their shoulder, throwing the empty Juice box.

"That's very good."

—————

10 minutes later...

"Probably dying somewhere." Gelatin shrugged, playing with two sticks that he found. "Gelatin that's— Thats not funny." Barf Bag looked at him concerned; The dessert muttered something while Barf Bag sighed. "Anyways, I'm worried about Firey Jr. He and Firey haven't done their daily walk yet.." She paced around the grass. "Maybe they're sleeping in." Bomby reassured, fiddling with his thumbs. "Yeah..yeah maybe." Barf Bag smiled slightly, making Bomby return the gesture.

"CONTESTANTS." Four screeched catching the attention of the team. "My dear X here has done some research on what happened to Loser." They smiled, putting a hand on X's head. "And we found that there's a cure." He chirped, making the contestants sigh In relief. "And to bring back the spirit of bfb, I'll make it a challenge." The integer's voice cracked. "And the challenge is?" Snowball asked, crossing his arms. "Get the antidote, there should be 8 of them; Last team to get it loses." Four pointed at the forest, "It's pink. GO." And they were off.

"Four..Maybe it was a bad idea to send them into the forest..Yknow..where Loser and Flower are.." X muttered, holding onto Four's arm. "I know what I'm doing, X." They grunted, snatching their hand from X's grasp.
"Oh." The variable looked down, sadly. Four sighed, falling to the grass once more. "Well, I think I know what I'm doing." He admitted making X smile slightly.

Chapter VII
FIRE HAZARD(GONE‼️)

Chapter Text

Everything was going terribly. None of the Eight namers had found any sort of "cure" and they were getting tired. "Guys, I don't..." Saw wheezed, falling face first into the snow. "I don't think we're gonna find anything.." She mumbled, though it wasn't audible to her teammates. "Don't worry, Saw..We'll find something!" Book reassured, helping the tool up. "If only Taco wasn't being so slow back there.." She rolled her eyes, making Taco glare at her cover.

"Gee, thanks for being so considerate Book." Taco crossed her arms, sarcasm laced her voice making Book snicker. "Gosh..Will you two ever quit it?" Lollipop complained, looking back at the two females before her. "You're gonna give me a headache..Especially you, Book." The sweet would look at her nails, batting her eyelashes at the dictionary.

"Ugh- Whatever." Book murmured, walking ahead of the purple sweet; Her feet ache with every step she took, the cold snow wasn't helping either. Gaty watched Book walk off. She sighed dramatically and decided it was best to call her back. "This is all too familiar..Book, Maybe it isn't safe for you to walk off like tha- And she's gone." She plopped onto the snow next to where Saw was.

And now there were seven of them. They were doing so well! Weren't they? "I wonder what the other teams are doing." Gaty would think aloud, rubbing her foot on Saw's. If it weren't for this stupid snow, they wouldn't be as sore as they are now.

Gaty closed her eyes, embracing the blank space in them, hopefully she'd be able to sleep. Her team has been walking for..An hour and a half maybe; That was a lot of time if you look at it in Gaty's vision. To the hosts however? I wonder how long that would be for them.

She'd let out another sigh, relaxing her muscles to maybe get a good nights rest.

"Nickel, Sleeping probably isn't the best option as of now.." Nickel shot his eyes open, shaking his head furiously; "Who..Who said I was asleep? I'm awake and ready to find a funny plant!" The cent would smile, eye bags were visible under his eyelets. It was obvious he was tired. He hadn't gotten much sleep since a few days ago. Balloony looked at him suspiciously.

"You sure you're alright to do this? I mean..You haven't been acting like yourself lately-" "I'M FINE!" Nickel hollered, breathing intensely. He was just fine! Nobody was going to tell her she wasn't. "Sorry- I'm okay..Really." Nickel sighed, looking around at his fellow teammates. "Eh- Where's Woody?" He asked, raising a brow.

"That'z why we woke you up.." Cloudy spoke in his thick accent, floating over to where Nickel sat uncomfortably in the snow. "Oh..Um..Yeah I don't know where he is." He looked off to the side. "That's why I asked." Nickel cringed at the cold ice beneath him. "No..That'z..That'z not what we-" Cloudy exhaled sharply, irritated on Nickel's gullibility. "We want you to help look for him, Nickel."

"Ohhh..Sorry." She'd chuckle awkwardly, sitting up from the snow. "Awe, Seriously?" David just..Ew why is he even in this book.

"David- Do you wanna help me look for Woody?" Nickel smiled at the man, whom just stared at him.

"Da." Dora answered in Spanish making Gaty look at her weirdly. "We still can't understand you.."

Fun Fact: Im translating what Dora says cuz i love her🤧

"Don't worry, You'll soon be able to speak proper Español like me." Dora put her hair up, walking over to where Gaty stood. "Let us go." She placed a hand on the shorter object. "Err..I'll take that as a yes.." Gaty smiled up at Dora, who stared blankly into the abyss.

"Come now, the faster we are, the more easier it'll be to find that stubborn Book." She muttered picking Gaty up and fleeing deeper into the forest at an intense speed.

"Oh..Well, I guess it's just me and you now, Teardrop!" Saw exclaimed, looking at TD. She nodded excitedly, grabbing ahold of Saw's hand and rushing her to a different place in the forest. "Uh- TD..Where are we going?" Saw asked razing a brow at Teardrop's sudden excitement.

Teardrop stayed silent of course and continued to drag Saw to a different area. As confused as she was, Saw complied in Teardrops wishes unsure if she was leading her to danger or to safety.

However, with Gaty and Dora now, they had already found book and were heading back— That was until Gaty saw something and persisted on looking for it.

"Wickel?" Woody called out at the cent. "Uh Yeah- Just a minute.." Nickel muttered, pushing some bushes away to get through to what he saw. "Wah.." The balsa wood would whimper, clasping his hands together in uneasiness.

Nickel continued to rearrange the bush; She needed to see what this was. It was bugging her the whole week. He has his chance, it's time to use it.

"Wickel- Wah wuh wah widea.."
"Gaty, I'm not sure this is a good idea.."

Berries! "Oh." Gaty mumbled; She sighed looking at the fruit. It wouldn't hurt to taste it..For all she knows, It could be a Yoyle berry. That would come in handy.

"It's just a berry bush..Sorry guys." Gaty apologized, plucking two of the berries. "No worries. Now, let's head back." Dora ushered glancing over at some Snow. "Still can't understand you." Gaty chuckled, walking back over to the two, seemingly chewing something.

"Gaty did you..Did you eat those berries?" Book asked, looking at the smaller object with a stern face. "Yeah..Bad idea. I know, but you never know..It could've been a Yoyle berry." Gaty walked ahead of the two. "And if it wasn't?"

Nickel couldn't believe what he just did. He felt disgusted and guilt filled his stomach. No wonder when she and Woody we're passing, there were footprints in the snow. This is where The Losers were. This is where Cake died.

And he just ate Cake.

No.

He ate Cake's organ.

"Woody let's-" Nickel gagged, he couldn't keep looking at the mess of Cake's carcass. It was on accident! Nobody would find out. And Woody surely wouldn't tell. "Let's go." She wheezed, speed walking ahead of the slice of wood. Woody looked at him strangely, why'd Nickel just run off like that? That's..Thats weird.

"Lollipop, Taco and Ice Cube didn't come back yet..no." Saw put her hand on a sleeping Gaty's zigzag top. "Should we look for them?" Book quipped, worried on her Teammates— Not Taco though. Fuck her.

"I'll look for them, For I am more intelligent and superior than you three." Dora got into a running stance looking into the forest "You must stay here and don't do anything irrational." She sped off, leaving the trio to rest.

"Oh..Well uhm.." Saw cleared her throat. "Book, it's Gr- EIGHT that you're here and all but.." Book raised a brow, crossing her arms. "Go on.." The dictionary motivated, taking a step closer to Saw. "Did anything happen when you guys were out there?"

"Wickel..?" Woody put a shaky hand on Nickel's edge. He grew concerned noticing how cold the coin was.

"Gaty this isn't funny, get up." Book scolded, putting her hands on her hips. Gaty stared at her wide eyed. Her breath hitched as she spoke in a shaky voice.

"Wah wuh woh.." Woody looked at Nickel strangely, wondering what was happening to his friend. "Woody I-"

"Book I can't.."

"I can't move."
"I can't move."

Chapter VIII
SAME PERSON, DIFFERENT FONT.

Chapter Text

Hell to whoever put Golf Ball in charge. What gave her the idea that splitting up would be a better?

Blocky furrowed his brows, huffing. He hated that he was paired with the weakest on the team. Not that he disliked Grassy, but the fact that he could barley do anything. Not to mention, he has no idea of what's going on; This irritated Blocky every minute the patch of Grass would daydream about unicorns and pony's. He'd complain about how his feet hurt. Then, Blocky would have to carry him. Which was worse since Blocky was already sore enough.

After Blocky carried him, Grassy wouldn't stop his chatter. Oh look, A bird! That's not a bird, Grassy. Oh.

Oh look, A pony! That's a twig. Oh.

Oh look!

Oh Look!

Blocky was close to yelling at Grassy. He never thought a day like that would come but it was surely spiking up. He looked down over to the child, who was happily singing to himself. The building block was hoping he'd bump into someone he enjoyed talking to. Wether it be Pen, Eraser or even Snowball. He needed someone.

And he needed them now.

Woody raced throughout the forest; How was he supposed to find the other teams? They were all probably back at the field so this was more difficult. He hoped he would run into Coiny. Or at least someone who knew about the object body.

This was overwhelming Woody. Everywhere he looked, there was just more trees. The sun had begun to rise also meaning objects were subject to leave the forest. To make matters worse, it started snowing again. Woody breathed heavily, looking around frantically.

"WELP!" He shouted, tears threatening to pour out his eyelets. He needed someone and quick. Woody placed his hands on his head, thinking of what he could do before Nickel could die. He didn't want that! D:

Just then, he saw something in the distance- No..Some object. His eyes widened. The balsa slice ushered to whomever that could be.

"Grassy, this is the fifth time already.." Blocky sighed dramatically, picking the patch of Grass up and placing him onto his head. "Grassy's sorry." He apologized, patting Blocky's surface.

The building block was about to move forward till he was stopped by a loud shout. Blocky turned to the source of sound, wondering on who it could be. Hopefully one of his friends.

It was Woody.

"Damn it." Blocky cursed, crossing his arms. "What do you want, Woody?" He quipped, glancing over at the hyperventilating wood slice. Woody began spewing nonsense as he pointed to where he came from. Blocky raised a brow at his tantrum.

"Water— Where the hell am I supposed to get that?" Blocky asked, looking at Woody in great suspicion. Woody clenched his jaw, balling up his fists as he looked into the icy grass. He tried his hardest to calm down; His speech was rushed and his breath was quickening. Woody didn't know how to explain a situation like this in such a state.

He's had these panics before. But he was able to calm down, now he can't. He groaned in rage, grabbing a hold of Blocky's arm and pulling him to where he ran from earlier. "Dude- You just can't drag objects like that." Blocky retracted his arm, scolding Woody who looked at him in frustration.

Woody went behind, trying to push him. Blocky stood still, cringing at Woody's weakness. "I'm not going anywhere. For all I know, you could be taking me to danger." This made Woody furious. He went in front of Blocky, shaking his hands in denial before pointing back to wherever Nickel would be with a trembling arm.

The building block stared at him, unbelievingly. He sighed, turning away and walking off. Woody let out a shriek, trying his best to pull Blocky back which only led to him on the ground. Woody sat up, getting into a pleading position. His breathing was getting short making him choke out.

He let out a wail; Drops of sweat trickled down Woody's face. His stomach tightened with very sob that escaped his chapped lips. Blocky came to a halt, turning around to face Woody. Grassy, still atop Blocky's head was confused. Why was he upset? What'd happen to him?

"You need help; Don't you?" Blocky stared at Woody blankly. He took a step forward, then another. He did that till he reached where Woody was. The slice of wood buried his hands into his face, letting out incoherent noises. Blocky cringed, feeling out of place. He cursed under his breath before kneeling to Woody's height.

"I know this is hard for you, no hurry." He soothed, batting his eyes into Woody's glossy ones. This didn't cease his fast breathing, instead, it made him more overwhelmed. "THERE IS...THERE IS!" He grit his teeth, more hot tears spewing from his eyes. He placed his hands on his head once again. Looking around frantically. Hopefully someone else had heard him. Blocky is useless.

Woody growled, pushing Blocky away and running off again. He couldn't deal with his ignorance. Blocky scoffed. "I was just trying to help you! Wimpy Baby." He muttered the last bit to himself, sighing.

"Alright Grassy...Ready to ditch this place?" The block asked, feeling around his head for where Grassy had sat before. Instead of the patch of Grass, he felt air.

"Oh."

"Oh fuck."

"What do you mean you can't move?!" Lollipop argued, throwing her hands up. Gaty continued to sob more, drool escaped her lips while Saw tried her best to comfort her. "Well, maybe she would answer you if you stopped yelling!" She scrunched her face up, disgusted by Lollipops actions. "And you worry so much why?" The sweet glared down at Saw, her eyelashes getting in the way of her view.

"CAUSE SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND, LOLLIPOP." Saw yelled her pupils shrunk as she grew more fierce. Lollipop stayed quiet, taking a few breaths; She pinched the space between her eyes. "You're right..I'm sorry; Just..Stressed." The pop apologized, looking off to the side. If only Gaty wasn't so dense, none of them would still be out here.

Gaty let out a whimper followed with a gasp for air. Why'd she do that? What went through her mind to let her do something so folly. As much as Gaty tried to move a muscle, she couldn't. It hurt. So much.

She wanted to vomit. Her mouth was dry; Gaty couldn't stand the pain she felt all around. No literally, she couldn't stand. Ok, sorry. Gaty grew guilty the more she wheezed. What poison were in those berries?! "Gaty, you need to throw up." Saw spoke to her in a calm voice.

It came out as ringing. Gaty's eyes grew heavy. No! She needed to stay awake! More tears poured out her eyes as she coughed furiously, trying to look over at her partner. She let her muscles relax and in a shaky breath; "I love you." She choked out, her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were flushed.

Nickel was going to die. He knew it. Curse his stupidity for not exposing what to do to Woody. He was a medic as well; only dropping out after dissecting a frog. Sure, he wasn't as great as Coiny since they weren't a troublemaker. Nickel however was.

Sweat trickled down his face as he foamed at the mouth. He was tired enough from before, and standing in place with no way of moving was just worse. "Okay Nickel..Just call for help..Just call for help. Easy as that." The coin spoke to himself with a hint of determination in his voice.

He cleared his sore throat, wincing from the itchiness but shook it off quickly. "H..Help!" He'd holler, darting his eyes across the place. Hopefully Coiny was close by. "Help!" He called out again, this time with more sorrow im his voice. "Help!" Nickel coughed up some blood, gagging.

"Hel-" He was cut off by more coughing. But Nickel wasn't going to give up so easily. "Help!"

Me when I'm laughing

Nickel wheezed, licking the drool off his chin. He grew dizzier the second and her standing there wasn't doing no good. He continued to holler out, his eyes lids grew weak and her pupils dilated. Nickel whimpered sadly; she didn't want to die. She was too young for that.

Now yk damn well.

"Please.." He sobbed, letting his eyelids rest. What the coin didn't suspect was that there could be another object there. A more vicious one to be exact. "Hello..?" Nickel muttered opening back his eyes; A low growl was heard, alerting Nickel of the dangers within the forest. "No..No..Crap.." Tears welled up in her eyes, more drool escaping her dry lips.

Aw, man.
