Fantraveler 2: Friday Night Funkin

23: Skull

     I open my eyes. I look around and I see a street. I'm in an alleyway, as usual. I look at Steve, who's laying on the ground. Guess the teleport wasn't so great for him.

Steve opens his eyes. "Ow... everything hurts, " he says, standing up anyways. He looks around. "Where are we at?" He asks, rubbing his head and adjusting his goggles.

I look around. It's not Whitty's alley and it doesn't have a fence. "I... I9 don't know."

"FIGURE IT OUT!" Steve shouts. I nearly jumped at the sudden volume. I slowly walk out of the alley. I look around. Nothing seems out of place. The people walking look normal, nothing different. The color schemes are normal. Hmmm. I look to the building next to me. It's some kind of restaurant. It's not the same one as before when I was stuck in the Whitty X Carol date mod.

I see someone walking in. their head is down, a hat and hood covering their face, but something on their head pokes out that makes me realize which mod we're in. A bone. Part of a goat skull to be exact.

"Tabi, " I whisper. He looks up and I quickly dive around the corner.

He saw me.

"Kids. what nuisances." He says before looking down again and walking in the building. Steve looks at me.

"How old are you?" Steve asks, pure confusion behind his goggles.

"13, couldn't you tell?" I say, walking around the corner again and into the restaurant. Steve stands there for a moment before following behind. I quickly walk out after thinking, accidentally bumping into Steve.

"Steve, you can't be wearing that."

"Why not?"

"It looks suspicious to be walking into a nice fancy restaurant looking like you're walking somewhere in Nevada."

"What am I supposed to do then?!"

I think. "Uhh, here." I take off the communicator, hoping I don't regret it. I hand it to him and tell him how to navigate the outfit selector. He chooses an outfit for himself. "Now, before you select it, something needs to happen." I say. He looks at me. "Now I know this may sound weird, but in order for it to work on the person who's wearing it, there needs to be the DNA of the person who owns it..." I say.

There's instantly a look on his face. "I know it's weird. Uh- do you have a knife?" I ask.

"Duh." he grabs a knife from his belt and holds it out. I reach to grab it, but then he pulls it back. "You're not gonna cut yourself, are you?"

"Hopefully not." I say. "I'm gonna scrape off skin cells and put it between you and the communicator so that it detects my DNA without me having to wear it."

He hands me the knife, and as I start scraping my arm he asks, "But won't it detect my DNA too?"

"It might. But even then, it could teleport the both of us. It probably would think we wanted to be in matching outfits or something" I say as I stop scraping my arm due to it becoming sore. I hand the knife to him.

"How do I do this?"

" r u b t h e k n i f e o n t h e b o t t o m o f t h e c o m m u n i c a t o r o r s o m e t h i n g .'' He awkwardly does that and puts the communicator back on. He looks up to be and I give him a thumbs up with a cheeky smile. He presses the select button and he is engulfed in white light. It turns to green as he changes into a green T-shirt, blue jeans and red sneakers. I think for a moment before laughing.

"What?" He asks. "Come on, what is it?" He's slightly irritated.

"You look like Boyfriend couldn't find his prohibition shirt so he put on Pico's instead!" I say in between chuckles. He sighs and scrolls through the shoes and changes them to neon yellow sneakers instead.

We both walk in together and I look for Tabi. and there he is leaning against the wall next to the bathrooms. And I see Boyfriend and Girlfriend,walking toward the bathrooms. They're still a decent distance from Tabi.

Maybe I can stop a Genocide.
