Ponk's POV
I was chilling on the couch after we um well... You know. Sam and Foolish left already to finish their 'jobs'.

Thankfully they were kind enough to me, as they were gentle during that time. Most of the time, I couldn't walk for a whole week or so

I was wearing one of Foolish's big hoddie as he lend me it for being a 'good boy' that morning

Foolish's hoddie was covering up to my ankles, so I just put on some short shorts.

I was scrolling through my phone until I heard someone call out to me from behind

I looked up and saw the Lemon God smiling at me, "~Hello dear"

I quickly became startled as I backed away from him, and moved to the other side of the couch. I quickly covered my hickey's as well

"O-oh hey" I stuttered, "Where were you?"

He gave me a confused look, but it quickly vanished as he saw what I was wearing, "Aw Ponk, look at you! Adorable as ever"

He jumped on The couch and snuggled me. I was confused, and uncomfortable

'Dang does he not know personal space?' I thought as I tried to break free

"Is something wrong, dear? Why are you trying to get away?" He asked

Snap

"O-oh I just thought of something I have to do" I quickly said

He gave me an irrated look, "Your lying aren't you?"

"W-what me? Pfft no, I'm just gonna be busy this morning" I said

"Doing what?" He questioned

"I-Um..." Then we heard the door knocked

I jumped from the couch and raced to the door. I didn't bother looking at the Lemon's God confused look

I opened the door, and saw my friend Karl. He smiled once he saw me

"Hello Ponk! It's been a while- why do you seem so distress? Oh is it a bad time?" Karl spoke worried

"O-oh no, it's alright, Y-you can come in" I gustered him to come inside

"Oh that's fine, I was actually wondering if you wanna walk around for a bit?" He suggested

Then the Lemon God came to see who was at the door. He gently hugged me from behind and glared at Karl, but instantly stopped

"Oh hello mortal, you were the nice being with those two annoying mortals, right?" He smiled

"Oh...um yeah heh, um how are you?" Karl asked, akwadly

He just shrugged as he kept hugging me, I mentally sigh. Looks like personal space doesn't exist for him

I could tell Karl was getting the vibe that I was uncomfortable so he quickly spoke, "Is it possible if I can take Ponk for a walk around the SMP?"

I felt his tight grippen as he spoke in a bit of an aggressive tone, "Why?"

Karl backed away, "Oh I don't mean any bad intentions, I just wanna hang around with my friend, it's been a while since we last hanged out"

I shook off the Lemon God, and glared at him, "Listen, I'll make my own choice's, I don't need you to make them for me, if I want to spend time with Karl, then I'll go, I don't need you"

The Lemon God faced turned irrated and I became startled myself. I backed away, but felt a hand on my shoulder, "Listen, I just want to spend time with him, your more than welcome to join us"

The Lemon God sighed, "Fine ,I'll allow it I'll be busy either way, and Karl...if I see any injury on Ponk, I will find you and kill you"

"Hey calm down!" I snapped, I wouldn't let one of my close friends get hurt because of me

The Lemon God scoffed, "I'm only trying to protect you-"

"Who says I need protection!?" I yelled, frustrated, "You know what, I'm done with this conversation, let's go Karl"

I grabbed Karl's hand, and we left.

Karl's POV
As my friend dragged me away, I couldn't help, but wonder what did he meant 'I'll be busy'

I shook the thought as we came across the woods. After a while of walking in silence we sat down by a near tree.

Ponk said nothing so I started to conversation, "So...How are you?"

Ponk just looked at me and shrugged

"Not in a talking mood, heh" I joked

Once again he stayed quite then I saw something, "You were 'busy' in the morning were you?"

He looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"

I giggled a bit, and pointed toward his neck

"Huh?- Oh sh-" He quickly covered it up with his hoddie which seemed strangly large than his normal one's

"Oh are you wearing one of Sam's or Foolish's hoddie?" I asked

"Yeah Foolish's" He gently spoke, "So I didn't bother putting on pants"

"Oh got it!" I exclaimed

Ponk's POV
I was a bit flustered when Karl spotted my hickey's, but then I became alarmed, what if the Lemon God saw them?!

I took a deep breath and Karl quickly took notice, "Ponk?"

"Y-yeah?" I asked

"Is everything alright? Back home...with him?" Karl said

I just shrugged, "He's... alright, but...I can't shake the thought of him hurting my Lover's..."

I then started to tear up, "K-karl I saw them d-die in my dreams...And the Lemon God w-was responsible... w-what if it h-happens?"

Then I felt Karl pull me into a hug, "Ponk...be strong...it was just a dream, it won't happen, and if he does try to harm you contact me as soon as possible, got it?"

I hugged Karl tightly, "... Thank you..."

Wonder how I got a friend like Karl?...

~Flashback~

"But Dream! I don't know how to act around him!" I panicked as my friend was about to leave me alone

"Don't worry Ponk, Karl is nice enough, hey he even matches your energy vibe" Dream reassured me

I sigh as Dream patted my back, "Don't worry I'll come back, me and Techno just have to practice fighting for a while"

"Alright..." I said, a bit jealous that he didn't want to train with me, "Just...come back soon"

"Ha, no promises" He waved me farewell as he faded away in the distance

I sigh as I akwadly walked toward his younger brother, Karl. He was making flower crowns with the flowers scattered around him as he sat on a smooth stone

He noticed me, and waved, smiling a bit. I just waved, and didn't bother saying anything

I sat next to him plucking the grass, then I heard scuffling. I turn to see Karl holding a flower crown

"What?" I snapped accidentally

He backed away in surprised, but handed me the flower crown. I just rolled my eye's and scoffed at his act

I slapped his hand away, "I don't want your pathetic flower crown"

He looked hurt, but came over to me and placed it on top of my head

I became annoyed at this point as I threw the crown away, "Your not Dream! Stop trying to be like him! Your just trying to fake being my friend!"

After I finished yelling, I saw him tearing up, "W-wait-"

But it was too late already, he ran away from me.

Crap...I screwed. I hit myself, "Stoopid, stoopid, stoopid"

I picked up the crown. The colors matching my mask. I sigh as I ran after Karl

After a while of searching I found him curdled up next to a tree. His legs crunched up to his chest. He was wiping his tears away

Then he noticed me arppoching me. He quickly looked away, ashamed of crying in front of me

I sat next to him as we were in silence, I took a deep breath and spoke, "Hey...I'm really sorry for acting that way..."

"It's fine...I get that reaction a lot when I meet people" He mumbled

"Sorry if I sounded like a douchebag, it's just that...I have problems of trusting people...I'm scared they'll hurt me, I'm scared that their fake" I said

We sat in silence before Karl spoke, "I may not be like my brother, Dream, but I just want to be friends with you if that's okay, I don't want to be a bother in your two's friendship"

I smiled under my mask, "So restart?"

He smiled brightly at me which warmed my heart a bit, "Sure! Hello new friend, I'm Karl! You?"

"Ponk, nice to meet you" I spoke gently

After a while we ended up having a good time. We went back to our previous place and made flower related stuff

Karl wasn't so bad after all... Maybe I could trust him...

~End Of Flashback~

As I finished crying in Karl's arm's, My eye's felt heavy as I drifted to sleep as Karl hummed me a song

Drista's POV
I cried as they held me in their wing's around me

"Please calm down Sister, she's still breathing..." He tried to soothe me

But the terrible images of her almost dying still stayed in my mind

Phoebe was in a coma for now as her status and conditions were worse

"Did you saw who did it at least?" He asked again

"N-no...I'm s-sorry, I'm sorry" I weeped

He sighed but hugged me tighter, "Just close your eye's sister, you need your rest for today"

I wasn't tired, but he used magic or whatever, but I soon fell asleep

???'s POV
'F*ckin b!tch!' I thought as I put Drista in her room, "We were suppose to be hero's for this world!"

I bashed my hand to the wall, "Why did I f*ckin love you?!...Why do I still love you?..."

Ooo drama. Also I don't wanna here your guy's complaints about me being late, no I don't want any of that crap right now. Am I clear?

Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! It was fun to write and I got stumped a few times, but hey I managed!

Anyway this is farewell for now! Please take care of yourself and be safe out there Palettes! Cya ya! (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
