cowboy red and his fallen angel

part 1

Red, lucky cowboy hat on his head, skipped around the skeld, escaping the imposter. Fearing for his life, he ran and encountered a body, further frightening him. Sweat dripping down his back, he called a meeting, hoping he didn't seem suspicious. "Who was last seen around Blue?" asked White, the head of the meeting. White was a scary man, having survived game after game of imposter. He was the reigning champion, Red was a newbie. "I think it was Orange," whimpered Pink, who was also a newbie. There were only five of them left, and it was getting more intense. "Vote now" said the automated voice. Red was sweating bullets, anxious eyes glancing all over as he tried to read the others. Yellow seemed surprisingly calm, he thought. He voted for Yellow, and relaxed. "Pink was voted out. Pink was not the imposter." Four left, and the imposter was still here. Red rounded the corner and walked down to the navigation room, hat slipping, carefully listening for any footsteps. He walked in and started his tasks. Suddenly purple vented into the room and covered his mouth, muffling his screams. She drew the knife to his neck and touched the blade to his skin. "This will only hurt for a second", she whispered. Yellow walked in on the scene, and stood there silent, mouth agape. "MEE--!" He was cut off as Purple sprinted towards him and slashed his throat, instantly killing him. "You'll let me off the hook, won't you?" she whispered to Red with a sly smile. She jumped back into the vent with a graceful leap, barely making a noise as the trap shut. White walked in seconds after Purple left, framing him for the crimes. "MEETING!!" bellowed White. Pink, White, Red and Purple gathered in the meeting area, suspicious glance being tossed. "State your case Red," growled White. Red didn't know if he should blame Purple, trying to come up with a reason not to say her name. If he didn't, he would be blamed and killed. The ping pong of right or wrong played out in his mind as he tried to come up with a solution. He suddenly brightened up with an idea. "It was Pink," he said confidently, "I saw him vent and frame me." Purple gave Red a small smile, and the voting commenced. Anxious, Red thought the voting took longer than normal. "Purple has been voted out. Purple was the imposter." Purple gave Red a betrayed and bewildered look, and then a look of sadness. "See you later, space cowboy*," she said with a sad smile as she jumped out of the ship. Red couldn't move. They had only just met and he had already grown a liking to her. "I will find you again," Red said with tears in his eyes, lowering his hat in respect.
