Tomorrow is another day

It was a very peaceful morning in the Kennedy household as Jack woke up and slowly got out of his bed. He took a breath before looking over to the bed to see Dave snoring softly. Ever since everyone was brought back into realty the house has been cramped, for the time being Dave and Jack were forced to share a bed in Jack's room. Jack got dressed and quietly made his way downstairs, he went into the kitchen to prepare a surprise for everyone.

Dave opened his eyes the morning light pounded on his face, rubbing his eyes he got up to open the blinds not even noticing the absence of his favorite tangerine walking corpse. He rolled out of bed before turning around to wake up Jack.

"Sportsy, it's morning. Time to get up" Dave said as he turned back to the bed 

Dave stood there staring at the empty bed in confusion before rubbing his eyes but alas, no Old Sport to be found. The aubergine man started examining Jack's side of the bed looking for some kind of clue to his orange friend's whereabouts, that's when he heard a small bell ringing from downstairs.

Jack watched as two rotary phones, a floating little girl with a puppet mask, a shadowy purple doggo, and a worried looking tall eggplant colored man walked into the room looking tired, confused, or a mix of both.

"The dinner bell? I haven't heard that in a long, long time" Peter said looking over to a table of pancakes all covered with syrup, whipped cream, and topped with strawberries "I guess it's more of a breakfast bell today."

Dee was the first one to the table and she beagain eating before anyone else even got the chance to sit down. Peter and Steven sat down before simultaneously stuffing their pancakes into their dials. Jack watched everyone enjoy his surprise as he began to do the dishes.

"I just thought i'd reward you guys for helping me with the restaurant." Jack said

"I mean it's not like we had a choice seeing as none of us would be able to get a job otherwise." Steven stated matter-of-factly, earning himself an elbow to the side courtesy of Peter

"Not to ruin the moment" Blackjack said while materialising on the table "but we will be late if we do not leave immediately."

Everyone looked at the clock on the wall of the kitchen and a mad scramble broke out as everyone got ready for another day at the pizzeria. within five minutes they were out the door and ready to start another day.

~~~ Several hours later ~~~


Jack hurried around the pizzeria trying his best not to show that he was completely freaking out.

Where is it? Where is it? Where the fuck is it?!  He thought as checked the broom closet for the umptinth time.

He turned around and started speed walking to the arcade to check music man's nest when he saw it, sitting on a freshly made pepperoni pizza. Jack rushed over to the new waiter that Steven hired and in one swift motion grabbed the pizza, took Bonnie's face off of it, and tossed the now faceless pie into the trash. He screamed at the employe before firing him and walking backstage.
Jack closed the door behind him and turned to where he left the guitar playing rabbit. He watched as Dave stopped mid sip of his beer and stared surprised at Jack.

"Dave what are doing?" Jack asked while walking over to him

"Cracking open a cold one with the boys, Sportsy." Dave stated, motining over to the faceless rabbit at his side and the purple doggo on his lap.

"I am so done with your shit Dave." Jack chuckled 

Jack grabbed a beer and started trying to re-attach Bonnie's face while chatting with Dave about nothing in particular


~~~ Meanwhile ~~~


Steven finished a call with a candidate for the newly opened waiter position when Peter walked into the room and pressed the red button on the wall, closing the metal door with a heavy
THUNK! 

"Peter? what's wrong?" Steven asked 

"It's nothing, i'm just not used to being a guard that's all" Peter responded before sitting down on the office chair "also I had something to talk to you about."

Peter began to spin in his chair slowly as Steven grabbed a spare.

"So i've been thinking about how our lives after we were sent to the factory were completely made up" Peter elaberted "the thing I've been thinking about most is how my wife and my kids weren't real, and its not like many people would like to date guy with a phone for a head."

"so why are you coming to me with this instead of Jack or Dee?" Steven responded leaning back on his chair

"Well you went through the same *ahem* event that I did and you got the same fake family photo and the same fake kids and even the same head! I just thought you might have some advice." Peter shot back

"I'm sorry Peter, to be honest i'm going through the same thoughts as you are. It would be nice to have someone to love but I try not to think about it, but still like you said we are pretty similar so if you ever need to talk i'm here. Even if I don't have any worthwhile advice." Steven said finishing his speech with a light chuckle

"Thanks" Peter said as he opened the door to walk out "this really helped."  

~~~ Back to the skittle men... also a few hours later ~~~

Jack was laying peacefully in bed drifting off into sleep until he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. He flinched and turned to look at the culprit, seeing an already asleep Dave snoring softly. 

"Dave?" Jack asked in confusion

"Mmmm, sportsy?" Dave said looking over at Jack with half opened eyes

Dave looked down seeing that he was now inches away from Jack

"Oh sorry sport I-" He began as he started taking his arms off of jack

"No!" Jack whisper shouted while grabbing dave's wrists "Its alright"

And that's where they sat, drifting off into the infinite nothingness of sleep.


~~~ 2:23 am ~~~

The mouldy rabbit skulked through the alley, finding a man dressed in dirty rags sleeping on a pile of newspapers 

"Need... host" It muttered before raising the fire ax above his head and bringing it down on the man's head.
