[ ♤ ]

As the others made their teams, your mind floated back to you.

You forgot to give the newbie your prize!

Now that seemed unfair.......

Winner- right? Yeah, that was them.

You start walking around to look for Winner to give them your prize.

You teleproted everywhere and eventually found Winner with other objects, seemingly being their team.

"Lets be called ' The Winners ! ' "  A blue armless clock smiled as the name appeared over them.

Winner, who right now you'll just assume is a lump of clay looked uncomfortable.

" I'd rather- not have my name in the Team Name- actually? "

They say while the armless clock agreed.

"Oh- right totally--"

And so their Team name was now ' The S! ' .

You'll keep that in mind.

"Winner! May I speak to you for a moment?" You spoke up ; causing the others ( who weren't aware you were there ) to yelp and/or jump back.

"Me? Oh- sure." Winner spoke and followed you to a different area.

"I figured Two shouldn't be the only one giving prizes, so here's a good luck charm I made for you!"  You smile and toss it to them.

Winner caught it with their hand.

"Oh- thanks [ O/n ] !" They smile.

" It- uh.. its [ Y/N ]." You correct awkwardly. 

Winner nods, so you give them a smile. "Good luck and throw your team to the top! You folks can get far, I know it!" You say before teleporting back to the top of the Hotel to Two.

=--==--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"Throw your team to the top...? Guys thats it!" Winner smiled. 

"What is?" Bottle piqued.

Winner gets the other S'ers to follow them to the hotel , where they start trying to check how and where to aim.

=-=---=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Are You okay--" Golfball asks her team before getting cut off.

"Yeah?" "Sorta?" "I am!" "Yes." "Eh- I've been worse."

Golfball stayed quiet for a hot second before shaking her head and snapping out of it.

"Get onto Puffball, ASAP!" Golfball grinned, but her plan didn't work as expected.

"....huh- I guess there wasn't enough room up there." Golfball comments.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Oh! I'll carry you guys!" Lighting smiled, trying to get back down.... but can't.

"Hey- bud-- you... your not allow--" Two cut you off.

"Lightning! Going back down is against the rules!"  Two scolded.

Lightning grumbled something, so you made a bouncy ball appear and hand it to him. "Uh- a small prize for being the first up here?" You akwardly offer.

"Oh- thanks..[ O/N ]--" Lightning trailed off.

" [ Y/N ]. " You inform, cutting him off.

Lightning nods, and takes the ball.

Two glared at Lightning from a distance. He was getting gifts now? You just met Lightning! You've known Two for so damn long!!

Why did they feel like this? Was it attatchment?

Maybe they were just a really clingy friend. Yeah, that wads it.

But still, you giving someone you just met something made them jealous....

-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-

"Although, next time consider using a more lava-proof material." Golfball tells Tennisball with a deadpanned smile.

"Next time try organizing your experiments once in a while--" Tennisball grumbled under their breath.

Puffball looked a little curious as she heard the comment, but mentally shrugged.

"Wait- isn't this more of a catapult?" Fries asked as Tennisball finally got in. "I had to imporvise--" Tennisball explained, getting cut off by the sound of rope stretching.

"PUFFBALL, WAIT---" Tennis Ball tried to warn.

"Yeah?" Puffball asks puzzled, ....causing her to let go of the rope as she was holding it down with her mouth.

Afterwards the team ' Are You Okay ' was left flying though the sky.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Two payed no mind to the yelling above them, they just stood still at the hotel rooftop as the 'Are You Okay'-ers
screamed, over the hotel and falling again.

"Hey- Two? Should we help--" Ypu were cut off by the sound of a bell ringing.

You turmed to see Bell struggling to get down as Grassy and Robot Flower (Who was wearing that flower crown you made them) seemed confused.

"No going back down we said!" Two scolded the three members from the 'Strongest Team on Earth' .

"What?! No fair!" Bell flared at the british number. "Grassy is upset!" Grassy says afterwards.

You look back up at 'Are You Okay' as you wanted to help, but you saw that Puffball grabbed Fries with her mouth and caught her team inside of Fries somehow? And dumped her team right next to you.

"Oh holy Math- Are you okay?!" You ask, concerned. You mentally facepalmed when you realized that you literally used their Team Name.

Multiple "Yeah"/s and "Yep!"/s mirroed from the team, to which you sighed to.

"Thats great, because your the first team safe!" You announce with a smile. The team cheered slightly, before scattering about.

Golf Ball and Tennis Ball were left by your side, but far enough.

"....you two worked anything out yet?" You ask, your voice slightly above a whisper.

"..no, not yet, we still need to run a few tests and all since most of Golf Ball's research got burnt up." Tennis Ball informed.

"And we can't do all that much without a sample, so we'll try to find more of well-- my experiment." Golf Ball continued.

You nod, though you could feel your heart drop at the news.

Would you be stuck like this? Hopefully not.

Tennis Ball notices your changed expression and slightly nudges you with the side of his body, before stepping back as Golf Ball dragged him away.

"Sorry its just- you seem really upset and all." Tennis Ball laughed nervously.

"Its fine, I appreciate it." You smile.

"TB! Now that we have completed the challenge we can head back to my Underground Laboratory to try and continue studying the current condition [ Y/N ] is in so they can be cured!" Golf Ball says and skitters away, Tennis Ball following behind them.

You laugh to yourself slighy, before approaching the members of ' The Strongest Team on Earth'.

More specifically Robot Flower really.

You tap on Robot Flower's shoulder, so they turn to face you.

"Oh- [ Y/N ]! Need anything?" Robot Flower piqued.

Now, you thinking that whatever effects Golf Ball's Erotomania Substance had wouldn't affect mechanical minds, such as Robot Flower, Remote and TV, you were careless with this interaction.

"Nothing! Just real glad you enjoy my flower crown so much!" You smile.

"Oh- okay! It just seemed really pretty- and all..." Robot Flower trailed off.

She could feel her coding go haywire, while at the same time also not? It was a complicated situation really.

You give her another smile before deciding to walk away, where you see members of 'The S!' being tossed up there.

Curious, you check it out, and you see Winner tossing their entire team up there, before the sound of glass shattering caught your attention.

Bottle died.

You felt bad about that. We don't even have a Recovery Center! How are we going to Recover her?!

"Hey Two, [ Y/N ], since Bottle's dead- but her body made it to the top- does that count?" Clock asks.

"I don't know- should it?" Two questioned. "I don't think--" Clock cuts you off. "I think it should." Before ypu could protest, Two made up their mind. "Okay! Then it counts!" Two beamed.

Afterwards the 'Team8's' start showing up aswell, and so? You step up a little closer to the others to see what was going on.

"Oh- I know a trick! Just hold me above the ledge!" Saw smiled, and Donut held her off the ledge. "Like this?" Donut asked. "Yeah!" Saw confirmed, then Gaty somehow flew up and got stuck onto Saw. Probablt magnetism.

=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=

Afterwards, you sort of just blanked out for some reason, like you were blacked out while still awake.

It took a while but you snapped out of your little trance when Two announced that "Death Pact Again" was up for elimination.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"But none of us heard Two or [ Y/N ] say that extra rule!" Fanny yelled.

"Wait- what--?" You ask, not paying much attention to what was happening as you spaced out.

"Fanny's right! It's their fault our teams did so horribly!" Bell agreed.

"Wait what's going on?!" You snap.

"Well- the others are mad about not hearing the extra rule." Robot Flower confirmed for you.

"What extra rule?" You grumble.

Two laughed nervously and shrugged.

The other objects confirm that you didn't know what happened. I mean- they did see you down at the grounds while team-picking, so you most likely didn't know either.

"Well- its just Two's fault then!" Bell took back her previous words.

"I think you should stop projecting the blame onto me!" Two agrued.

"Wait guys lets not--" You try to calm the situation down.

"Well I think YOU should start PROJECTING YOUR VOICE!" Bell yelled.

You tried to stop the argument, but the contestants started to Beat Two up to a pulp, and ypu couldn't help but step back, not wanting to get involved.
