I'm back!!! I had to run a few errands and when I came back there was more than 100 reads!!!! :D Thank you for reading my book it means so much to me!!! As long as there are people reading this, I'm happy. Sorry if I'm a bit late. 

"Is he gonna be ok?" Timmy asked nervously. Not long ago Danny and Jimmy left to investigate the old building deep in the woods while Timmy had to stay behind and make sure Y/n and Spongebob didn't find out (At least not yet...) 45 min later Danny returned with a worried look on his face carrying Jimmy in his arms. Placing him on the couch as Timmy came rushing to the living room to see what they had witnessed only to find Danny panting and Jimmy laying on the couch unconscious.

"I'm not sure, when I got there I found him on the floor unconscious. I don't know what happened while I was looking in the other rooms, If I had gotten there sooner..." Danny paused for a moment thinking of any possibilities of what could've happened.

"You didn't know what was gonna happen, the question is what are we gonna do if he doesn't get up? More importantly, what are we gonna tell Y/n and Spongebob?" Timmy asked, a little worried.

"That is if they asked us," Danny said. "But in the meantime let's not make them worry, the last thing we need is an interrogation session with the sponge."

"Yeah," Timmy replied with a chuckle.

"We might as well head to bed ourselves, hopefully he will recover in the morning." Danny said heading to his room and beckoning Timmy to do the same. Once Timmy headed to his room and closed the door, Danny took one last look at the couch where Jimmy was laying.

"I just hope he's okay." Danny thought to himself before he too headed for bed.

~~ Jimmy's Dream ~~ 

The moonless-starless sky was shown above Jimmy as he was walking down a broken road that seems like it hasn't been mended for years. Very few street lights were on but most of them were broken, some of them bent in such awkward positions that it seemed impossible to repair. The buildings didn't seem much better either, some collapsed and decayed while others stood tall only to be covered in cracks or vines. The grass that was once green with life was now replaced with hard dirt with mud patches. Jimmy continues to walk down the damaged road through the dilapidated town taking in the sights with utter disbelief. He then stopped in front of a house, well what's left of it. Under the pile of rubble, he could clearly see what was left of its contents, he could just make out what it seems to look like...

"I couldn't save them...."

Jimmy was interrupted by a voice, and it sounded just like him. He slowly followed the source of the voice, listening while cautiously moving toward the source.

"They are all dead...this is all my fault"

The closer he got, the louder it became.

"They are dead because of me...."

He rounded a corner towards the clearing.

"I was too late..."

He arrived and found where the voice was coming from, a figure was in the middle of what looked like a playground, the same place where he and y/n walked to. Except only the swings remained. Jimmy walked towards the figure, which suddenly disintegrated as Jimmy approached revealing something else. His eyes grew wide with disbelief, looking at what was left of the victim's bodies.

Jimmy's POV

"GAH!!!"

I woke up with a start as my blurry vision started to clear. Looking around, realizing that I was back home laying on the couch with a blanket covering me. I sat up putting one hand on my forehead feeling it pulsate with dizziness, the dream felt so vivid it was hard to tell if it was even a dream at all.

"Meow"

I looked down seeing Scarlett sitting on my lap, her blue eyes staring back at me as if reading my very thoughts.

"You were watching me the whole time huh?"

"Meow" Scarlett responded, walking closer and poking my belly playfully.

I couldn't help but smile a bit looking at her. I picked her up face to her.

"I don't suppose you know what happened while I was out of commission, do you?"

Scarlett tilted her head a bit.

"I think an animal communicator would be my next invention to make." I said, setting the kitten down who then rolled onto its back expecting a belly scratch, of course, I gave her one. It purred as it started playing with my hand licking it and giving it a few nips.

'I can't believe I'm talking to a kitten. But then again I've always talked to my robotic companion so I don't see any difference with that.'

"Glad you're awake, how do you feel?"

Danny came out of nowhere with Goddard walking by his side

'Speaking of which'

"Me and Timmy were worried that you might not get up. fortunately, It seems like we wouldn't have to worry about explaining it to the others."

"What...happened?"

"I ran to your location as fast as I could when I heard you shouting, by the time I got there you were on the floor unconscious. So I carried you all the way back here and it's a good thing the others didn't wake up. If I had waited longer, who knows what would have happened to you." Danny explained.

'So that's why I'm back here, but what happened before that?'

"So what happened back there? What did you see?"

"I...don't know It was all a blur," I responded still a little dazed from the recent events.

There was a long pause before Danny finally spoke.

"Well, what matters is that you're ok," Danny said in relief. 

I thought back at what I saw In one of the rooms in the Asylum.

"Did you by chance see the equipment that was in the room I was in?" I asked.

He gave me a questionable look.

"No, It was empty when I got to where you were...Why?"

'Strange I thought for sure I saw-'

"Spongebob! Do you need me to help you with the dishes?" Y/n asked out loud to be heard from the hallway.

"No can do ma'am, I can take care of this no problem," Spongebob called back.

"Well I'm coming over to help anyway 'cause you're gonna need a break."

"Are you going to tell them?" Danny said as he sat on the couch beside me.

"I will," I answered reassuringly. "Just not yet..."
