Spork was in the waiting room of the hospital. The image of HP standing face down. Their entire glass face shattered by a rock they landed in was burned into his memory. The blood pouring out of the hole where their face once was. The screams of their friends blurred together as they held HP in their arms. Screaming for them to not leave them. They snapped back to reality when they heard a voice "Mr.Spork?" They looked up and saw a nurse. "Yes... That's me..." "Hi, I just need to ask you a few questions. Your here from Ms.Hypno-" "Mx." "Excuse me?" "Their Non-binary." "Ah... Alright. So you are here for Hypnosis Pendant correct?" "Yes. I am." "How are you related to them?" "They're my closet friend." "Do you know if they have any family?" Spork paused "They have a mother but she was abusive. They don't like seeing her. Besides that's they have some non-biological siblings but I don't know they're names." This questioning continued when suddenly they heard someone yell out "CODE BLUE!" The doctor stood up and ran out the door. Spork felt his heart spike as he watched the doctor run out of the room. He didn't move for a solid 30 Minutes before the doctor walked back into the room "Mr.Spork? Sir?" "Yes...?" "I am so sorry to tell you this, But Hypnosis Pendant passed away." Sporks world stopped. He didn't move or respond. The nurse spoke again "Spork, sir I am so sorry for your loss." "The... They can't be d... After everything th... They..." Tears started rolling down Sporks face "Oh my god... Th... I... Hypno..."
A week had passed since Hypnosis Pendants passing. Spork had left the contest and it was unknown where he was. Vintage called everyone together one morning "Alright everyone! It's time for another challenge! Everyone ready?" Cappy cleared his throat "Hey, we're down 2 members!" "Oh! Thank you for reminding me Cap! Calligraphy Pen! You'll be joining team Thunder!" "WAIT!?" Caligraphy pen was very clearly upset. "Calm down Cal! It'll be fine! And that brings me to todays contest! Of which will be taking place somewhere new!" Vintages smile turned even brighter "We'll be going to A deserted island for todays challenge! Mostly to bring the mood up!" Cappy cleared his throat "So what challenge are we doin?" "You'll find out when we get there! Everyone on the boat! "What bo-" Vintage moved some leaves behind him to the side to reveal a large boat. "This boat of course!" Vintage was the first one onboard. Everyone else following behind.
Around an hour later Cappy groaned "Are we there yet...?" "It'll be another while! Be patient Cap!" Cappy groaned. He walked to the bottom deck in hopes of finding something to do wehn he heard a voice "Bee... This is important!" Cappy stopped dead in his tracks, He peeked around the corner "Listen, Vintage rearranged the teams again! Cali is on OUR team now! This changes everything! Right...?" There was a pause "...Do we have to...? I don't want anyone to get hurt Bee..." Another pause "Okay. Got it. Bye." Cookie hang up the call. They looked upset and distressed. Cappy cleared his throat "Cookie...?" Cookie flinched and looked at Cappy "Bluey! Ah! I er... Hi...!" Cappy tilted their head "What are... Are you okay?" Cookie sighed "It's nothing Blue one. Go do... Whatever kids do..." "I'm 21!" "Sure you are bud..."
Vintage called out "Land ho!" Cappy flew off the boat "FINALLY!" Lighter practically crawled off the boat "Finally..." "You okay?" "Seasickness... I am not excited for the ride back..." Vintage got in the front "Alright everyone! Todays challenge will be an exploration! Somewhere on the island I hid a chest! The first team to find it will be safe from elimination! Than the team that fails will lose! Go!" Everyone set off at different directions.
Cappy ran after Caligraphy pen "Cali! Wait!" Caligraphy pen turned around. Slight anger burning in his eyes. "Wait do YOU want? Don't think I don't know about you and Soapstone." Cappy groaned "Oh great, Look. I overheard Cookie talking to someone on the phone. They said something about us being on the same team changed everything... And that they didn't want to hurt anyone by doing... Something...? And also they were talking to someone named be-" "Oh shut it shorty!" Cappy was surprised at Caligraphys sudden Growl. "I ain't gonna let you manipulate me or anyone else here again! And I swear if I catch you doing that to anyone ever again i'll chop off those puny legs and drown ya in your own blood dipshit." Caligraphy pen walked away leaving Cappy stunned and almost a little scared. He growled "I'd like to see you try tallass." He growled as he walked away back towards Lighter and Bottle.
