Custard III seemed uneasy ever since it started raining, it was quite calming for Pancake but seeing Custard III so freaked out did make him worry and even a bit uneasy himself. That's when he came up with an idea, whenever he was worried he would just get himself a treat and watch some movies. Maybe that'll help him alleviate the stress. He wondered what could possibly make Custard III stressed, maybe he was planning to do something outside which he can no longer do due to the rain. "Custard III? Do you wanna watch The Lion king?" He asked, even though he knew the answer due to the movie being his favorite movie of all time.

Custard III could recite every single word of the movie from heart. "Yes!!!" Custard III excitedly replied, forgetting completely about whatever he was worrying about. They both got cozy on the couch after Custard III had put in the movie and Pancake got the Acorn jellies. He usually wouldn't share his but Custard III was his bff so he made an exception for him.

A bang rang through the house as Pancake and Custard III were watching the movie, Custard III practically jumped out of his seat on the couch. He quickly placed his hands over his ears at the noise in an attempt to block out the noise but in the process hurt himself a bit with how hard he was pressing his hands against his ears. his body was shaking like a leaf in the wind, which Pancake quickly noticed because as much as Custard III loved the movie he loved talking more. The moment the noise of lightning came Custard III had stopped talking, not even waiting to finish his sentence. "Custard III you alright?" he asked as he was eating the Acorn jellies.

He got no response to his question, "Hellooo? Earth to Custard III?" He stated as he waved his hand in front of Custard III after he had set his popcorn down. "Ah! Um yes, I am quite alright!" he reassured him but it was a blatant lie.

Pancake squinted at him as if he thought if he squinted enough he could see what he was thinking. Before he could ask further on the topic another bang rang through the house making Custard III dash off the couch. "Toodles!" he quickly shouted before going into his room, too much in a rush to even close the door. Pancake was extremely worried for his friend now, he got up from the couch and came after Custard III. He looked in Custard III's room to see him cowering under his bed.

His paper crown was on the ground along with his cape being ripped and crumpled due to how quickly he ran off. Pancake laid down flat on his belly to look under the bed to see him closer as he scrambled to figure out a way to attempt to comfort him. "Um.. Hey.. Are you alright?" Pancake gently asked, his voice was quiet as he heard it would help people calm down, at least that's what his mom told him.

He noticed Custard III was crying now that he was up close with him along with his hands being above his head. Custard III didn't seem to notice him, or at least he was too scared to address him so he just kept quietly talking to him in an attempt to calm him. "Hey, hey, it's gonna be alright Custard III," he whispered to him. Soon enough Custard III opened his eyes again since he had them squeezed shut in fear since he had gotten under the bed. He sniffled as he looked over to Pancake, he slowly crawled out from under his bed. His eyes were puffy from all the crying, he was profusely wiping away his tears.

Pancake sat up as he did quickly wrapping his arms around Custard II, softly rocking him side to side as he hugged him. Custard III tightly hugged him back clinging onto his clothing, not only had he just got the fright of his life due to the lightning but now his princely clothing was all torn and crumpled. "My crown... and cape..." he quietly wept. "Don't worry, when you feel better you and I can fix them up together," he chirped, trying to brighten his mood a bit.

"Really?..." he questioned him unsure if he was just playing with him despite knowing how kind Pancake was. "Mhm," he affirmed with a nod, making him smile for a second before it disappeared as he continued to cry. "Hey, hey how about we go down into the basement and try and nap it out on the couch? It'll be like a sleep over," he excitedly stated. He held back from being loud to avoid frightening Custard III even more than he already is.

"Yea.. that would be nice..." he replied before they separated from the hug. Pancake got up first before offering a hand to Custard III, which he gladly took, Pancake helped him up. He turned to the door as he held Custard III's hand. They walked over to the stairs to the basement after grabbing the big fluffy blanket from the couch.

They quietly walked down the stairs shutting the door behind them to try and prevent noise from any thunder that might happen. They slowly made the descent into the basement to be careful in case they tripped on the blanket, they came down to see a similar livingroom to the upstairs. It was much colder down here then up stairs. They sat down on the couch, both already tired due to how lazy of a day it had been. He laid out the blanket on the couch before turning off the lights, and sitting back on the couch and getting cozy underneath the blankets.

"Goodnight Custard III."

"Goodnight Pancake."

they both said as sleep quickly took hold of their consciousness.
