Another Time, Another Universe

New Day, Old Enemies

I look back over at the group, who seem to be playing a game of patty-cake, then back at Leafy.

"I knew we were right not to worry about Ice Cube. This is what she calls menacing? That bubble looks like they might be nice, even."

"That's a pretty good guess, actually. Even though I don't know Bubble all that well, she's one of the nicest objects here in Goiky. Not sure how they got her in that alliance, but there had been some instances during BFDI where she seemed reluctant to follow their orders."

"Hmm... that's good to know. What about the pencil and the match?" Leafy's calm expression morphs into a cold grimace, likely at my mention of the two objects.

"Pencil and Match are a couple of brats. Pencil used to be fairly nice early in BFDI, but she quickly showed herself to pretty selfish and mean later on. Match just had a horrible personality from the start. You've already seen Ice Cube, but she's so annoying and whiny, I'd avoid those 3 if I were-"

"...Um... Leafy?", I whimper, looking up. "I think we have to get out of here now."

They heard us.

Seeing the 4 objects turn toward us and begin to get up makes me extremely anxious. If Leafy and I don't do something soon, they'll tear us into bloody pieces, and remembering what Leafy told me about that 'Flower' girl destroying all the recovery centers, we wouldn't be coming back to life. Knowing this, we only have one option to take.

We have to run.

Even though Leafy's descriptions of the 4 suggested that they were weak and almost completely harmless physically speaking, we are clearly outnumbered 2 to 4, and from those statistics, I don't trust in our chances of surviving the ordeal as opposed to being violently murdered by these angry objects. 

After all, who knows what horrible tricks they might have up their sleeves?

"We need to leave RIGHT NOW, Leafy! Follow me and run as FAST as you can!", I yell; no sense in whispering anymore when the objects we were gossiping about moments earlier had already heard us.

"All right, all right, I'm coming over!", Leafy yells back.

Holding her hand, I dash with her at full speed across the bright green plains, hoping to escape the wrath of the angry alliance members.

Never have I EVER been so afraid.

"Come back here, idiot! Right NOW!"

"No. I don't want to be forced to do things for you anymore."

"I said NOW!!"

"Leave me alone."

"Listen, you stupid brat!"

"Stop! OW! OUCH!" (Just make it stop... I hate living like this so much...)

I suddenly stop dead in my tracks and let go of Leafy's hand for some time, before eventually snapping out of another terrifying flashback. I don't even care that that the alliance has now caught up with us.
