///PAPER POV//
"Hmmm..anyone got a 3?" Said Cheesy looking at us
"A 3? Weren't we playing Pokemon cards?" I said really confused
"I thought we were likeeeeeee playing with uhhhhh..." said Tissues as he looked at the mess of a game we had on the floor
"Uhhhhh...." He kept on saying
Cheesy sighed and looked at me
"God this is getting so boring!" He said
"Well, I can't do anything about it now- you have to hide, remember?" I said as I looked at him
"Well we wouldn't have to if you likeeeee asked OJ on a date alreadyyyyy"
"W-WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?"
"No, he isn't..."
Cheesy said and leaned over to me
"And are you in love?" He said as he looked at me directly at my eyes
"NO!" I said and pushed him away
"Paper don't shout we're gonna get cauuuught" Said Tissues making me remember that I've got to be silent
"Oh yeah I'm sorry- but no!"
"No what? You can't deny love, it's a paper thin wall covering up the fact that you both love eachother" Said Cheesy as he smirked
"I- Cheesy, what does this even have to do with you both getting out of here???"
"Well...you have to go on a date with OJ so he trusts you and then we can leave"
"That's- That's NOT the plan! The plan is for me to make a party with him and then make him trust me and-"
"Well you aren't likeeee... doing that either, are ya?" said Tissues as he looked at me
"I uh- I just need time"
"What you need is a little push!" Cheesy said as he stood up
He went over to the drawers and started searching for something
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? You can't go over OJ's stuff!"
"Jeez, chill out, I'm just searching for something to help you out"
"Why would it be here????"
"Idk, you tell me" he said as he kept looking over OJ's stuff
"Stop looking over OJ's stuff already!" I was about to grab him by his arm when suddenly he took out something
"FOUND IT" he shouted exited
"You- What???" I said confused and he turned around with a pair of sunglasses on hand
"Hehehhehehehehhehehehehhe...I found it" he said as he approached me
"What's that for?" I asked
He shoved the glasses to my face and smiled
"For this!"
"Huh???? what???" I said really confused
"Ohhhhh....nice glasses" said Tissues as he laughed at me
"Hey stop laughing! It's my old pair of sunglasses that I used to use for shows"
"They're called old for a reason" Said Tissues as he stopped laughing and chilled out
"This is ridiculous-" I said whilst looking at Cheesy
"Hey hey, im not done yet! Is there an aid kit somewhere here?"
"Yeah it's on the first drawer of the table" I said and Cheesy went over and took the aid kit out
He went over to me and opened the aid kit
Then, he took some bandages out and started to put them on me
"Wha-" I said while I was trying to pull away but he quickly grabbed me
"Paper wait wait! You'll like this, just stay still"
"Uh, alright?"
He finished putting the bandages on me and smiled proudly
"Perfect, look Tissues isn't he paperfect"He said as he looked over to Tissues
"Hm? Oh...yeahhhhh" he said as he gave me a thumbs up
"What did you do???" I asked them
"We just made you look non-evil!"
"How's that?"
"He like covered your black mark thing. Dummy" Tissues said in a half-laughing voice
"I uh- oh...uh thx?"
"You're welcome! Now...go get your man!"
"I uh, I still can't"
"Whaaaaaaaat why????" Said Tissues really confused
"Well Uh, I've already been seen as evil so even if I cover up they still know I'm evil"
"Oh." They said in sync as they looked at each other
"Uhhhhhh....then juuuuust- just- I'm sure nobody will notice" said Cheesy as he smiled awkwardly
"I don't know about this-" I said unsure but Cheesy pushed me over to the door
"Nah, it'll be just grate!" He said as he opened the door
"WAIT ARE YOU CRAZY I CAN'T-"
And just before I could finish my phrase he pushed me out of the office
"CHEESY YOU IDIOTIC PIECE OF FOOD LET ME-" I said really nervously and then I heard someone speak
"Uh...Paper?" Said someone from behind me
I was in shock...somebody had just caught me
OH NO- I-I'm getting murdered aren't I?
There's only one way to know...I slowly turned around...
"OJ!" I said as I recognized him and calmed down
"Paper what are you doing out of the office??? And why are you wearing those sunglasses and bandages?" He asked me as he came closer to me
"Well I uh- I thought I could MAYBE- I could come out and say hello!!! To uh, you!!!"
"Me? Paper you know you're not supposed to get out of the office!"
"I uh... I know! But I was thinking... maybe- since well, I am not bad anymore and stuff I uh...I could get out and say hello to my... friends?-"
OJ looked at me up and down and sighed
"What do you actually want, Paper?" he said in a monotone voice
"I uh-"
He looked at me directly in the eyes and I started getting nervous
"W-Well you see-"
oH gOSh, why am I so sweaty????
"Yeah?"
"I-I....-" I kept on saying while I tried to come up with a plan
"Yeah...?" he said once again but in a more curious tone
Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!
I'm going to get caught and he will discover me and the rest of the TEO and we're all getting murdered and- oh no Taco will be so mad at me if I don't make up an excuse quickly uhhhhh....
"I WANTED TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU" I shouted at his face
Suddenly his eyes widened, he looked confused and unsure at the same time
"You...- What."
WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT????
O-OUT OF ALL THE EXCUSES WHY THAT ONE???
OH GOSH I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE HE CAN ANSWER ME
"UHHHHHHHH SORRY ILL UH- I'LL JUST LEAVE"
"Nono! It's fine paper, we can if you want, I...uh- I guess?" He said as he slightly blushed but still looked somehow confused
FUCK- wait... whAT
OH SHOOT THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED
WHAT AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO SAY IN THIS SITUATION???
I-I CAN'T JUST LEAVE NOW
"Uh so...Paper, how would you-"
"WE COULD MAKE A PARTY AND THAT BE THE DATE-" I said interrupting him
"Oh, yeah? that sounds awfully specific but uh..." he said as he looked at me
OH MY GOD WHY AM I SO NERVOUS
He sighed and smiled
"Yeah, sounds like a good plan"
Did it actually work???? OH MY-
I'M A GENIUS HAHA
"So uh....paper?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"When would you um..."
"neXT WEEK"
"Oh? Uh, ok then"
We both stared at each other
There was a couple of minutes just in complete silence until OJ started talking again
"So uh.., why did you um-"
And then, right before OJ could finish his phrase, we heard someone else talk
"OJ, we have like AN ISSUE and-" said Pepper as she looked up at us
she stared at me for a while until realization hit her
"you...YOU!" she said as she came closer to me
"YOU BITCH YOU FUCKING BI-"
and then OJ covered her mouth
"shhhh! Pepper, you're going to drive everyone's attention over here!" said OJ as he shushed her
I looked at Pepper and I could hear her muffled screaming
"Pepper chill out, Paper is our friend, hes hiding from the TEO and won't do us any harm"
"y-yeah! I didn't get fully mind controlled and well.., now i'm here"
Her eyes widened as she calmed down
Then OJ pulled his hands away from her mouth gently
"Are you more relaxed now?"
"....yes" she said and looked over to me
"So...what's with the glasses?" She asked
"Oh, I- uh...-" I didn't know what to answer so I looked at OJ
"He's just trying out a new style"
"oH! Y-YEAH! A new style!"
"It looks like SO ugly" she said as she giggled
"We'll thank you I guess-"
"You should like totally get that changed and- wait OJ I JUST LIKE REMEMBERED"
"Huh? You remembered what?"
"All the like aid-kits are gone and Yin-Yang and Bomb  are getting chased by bees again"
"AGAIN? ITS THE FOURTH TIME THIS WEEK"
"Yeah, they used all the aid-kits because of that"
"OH!" He said and looked over to me
"Paper you stay here ok? I'll be back in no time" he said as he followed Pepper out of the hallway
"Uh- alright" I said in a lower voice
I don't know if I should consider myself lucky or unlucky
I mean, I got rid of OJ and his lots of questions but....
"YOURE GOING ON A DATE WITH HIM????" Shouted cheesy as he opened slightly the door but fell to the floor
"Omggggg he actually did ittt" said Tissues from far away
"PAPER I THOUGHT YOU YOU-"
"Yeah I get it! I'm a scaredy-cat, I know, please just- Y-YOU BOTH CAN LEAVE ALREADY RIGHT? t-then just do so!"
"Hmmmmm yeah sure! And gladly too lol" Said Cheesy as he exited the room whilst grabbing tissues by their hand
"Tbh I thought our idea wasn't going to cut it"  he said as he knee-slapped
"Gosh dangit Cheesy, just agh- you both follow me alright?" I said as I sighed
"Yeah yeahhhh" said Tissues as the 3 of us went over to the garden
"Ok, I know it's dark but Taco should be here any moment to pick you both up ok? Just stay in here while I inform her that you both can just- leave already"
"K" said Tissues and I left them in the garden
God fucking dammit- T-THEYRE GOING TO TELL EVERYONE-
GOSH- don't worry Paper it's just a plan that you're following, just a- just a plan. Yeah
You uh- it's going to be just....fiiinee
I looked around for inspiration
Now, how can I tell Taco that they're ready to leave...?
Maybe Mic has a way to warn her!
I mean, they're undercover in here too so I guess they wouldn't mind telling me
Yeah, I'll just go ask her! I hope she doesn't mind...
