Invisible Experiments

          Just a few hours ago, Taco had watched Microphone opt out of the game. Just a few hours ago, Taco had a surge of complicated emotions that she fought to ignore. She didn't even really know where to go from here, her plan had been badly derailed. She felt angry, and betrayed, and regretful all at once.

          She was sitting in the bushes alone, contemplating her thoughts, when someone walked up to her through the brush. It was the other one who had gotten out on that elimination, Test Tube. She had never spoken to her. To be fair, she had never spoken to any of the season two contestants, besides Mic of course. Taco was startled, and Test Tube seemed to be too. Taco spoke first.

“You! What are you- why are you here!?” Taco questioned.

“Oh, gosh..I’m sorry! I was just taking a walk and I heard some rustling from this bush, so I went to see what it was! … what are you..doing in a bush?” She questioned back.

“None of your concern. Now shoo.” Taco stood up and started walking away.

“What?? No, tell me! That's really odd, also I don't think I've seen you? So you're a stranger, in a bush, spying.” Test Tube hurried after her.
Taco turned to face Test Tube.

“Not spying, and you should mind your own business.” She turned back away. Test Tube followed right after her.

“Well you're suspicious, and I'm curious. So I'm gonna follow you until you tell me!” She smiled at Taco smugly, Taco groaned. She wasn't lying, Test Tube followed her for a few minutes, neither spoke. She got fed up after Test Tube started making annoying noises, presumably to tick her off.

“Fine! Will you stop trailing behind me and being irritating if I tell you!?” She crossed her arms.

“I mean, yeah su-” Test Tube was interrupted by taco.

“BUT. You cannot tell anyone, and if you do I promise you that you'll regret it.”
Test Tube looked around awkwardly,

“Alright..??” She clasped her hands together, ready to listen.

“So…I may have been watching you all, though I prefer to say observing. I was working with someone, behind the scenes. We were inconspicuous, no one knew. They still dont.” Taco looked up at Test Tube, who didn't look surprised. To be fair, she did find Taco in a bush.

“Well, except you now.” She put her hands behind her back, expecting an answer from Test Tube.

“Well..??” She responded.

“Well what? I'm not telling you more, do you want my whole life story along with that!? Jeez, the nerve! I told you, now you leave.” Taco made a motion with her hand shooing Test Tube away. She started walking away, but as she was she turned around.

“Fine, but I'm not satisfieeeeedd!!!” She put her hands to her mouth to make sure it reached Taco, it did.

“Whatever, nosy contestants.” Taco mumbled to herself, walking off. However, as she did, she realized she couldn't stop thinking about Test Tube.
