What a sight.


The one who'd unintentionally gotten his own village destroyed and had left Green and Blue to die in the End was now in front of them. Purple was peacefully picking an armful of pretty flowers.


Purple froze as he noticed them, before gasping, dropping his orchids, and dashing over to the colored crew.


"Orange!!!" He cheered as he hugged Second and pulled Green into it too, squeezing them both tightly, receiving only a half-hug from Second in return.


It's not as if Green had a grudge against the plum-colored stickman for ditching them in the End, especially since they would just respawn, but he just didn't feel as if they were actually close enough to hug. Eh, whatever made Purple happy. They were all relatively cool with each other now.


"Hi, guys!!" Purple waved eagerly at the others. Blue, Yellow, and Red waved back

"Hi!" Blue greeted, raising his arms friendlily. He almost seemed to match Purple in enthusiasm.

"You all came at the perfect time," Purple started, beginning to run past the group and gesturing for them to follow. "Come on! I want to show you guys something!!"


The friends glanced at each other before following behind him.

Red, with Yellow, Blue, Green, and Second behind him stopping beside a nether portal. Purple was beaming. He seemed as if he could barely contain his excitement.


"Parkour! Parkour! Parkour! Follow me!!" And Purple went through the portal, too excited to even wait for a response.



"...Soooo do we go?" Red asked, looking back at the others.

"I don't know," Yellow replied.

Then Red decided, "I'm gonna go," before stepping towards the nether portal.

Second dashed and grabbed Red's hand. "Wait! No, we're going home." The orange stick figure let go of him, but started walking in the opposite direction, back to the other portal which was on the way to getting them back to the desktop.

"C'mon. Let's go," Second paused and gestured determinedly, waiting for the others to follow.


Yellow looked hesitant, putting his hands on his hips and looking down thoughtfully. "I don't know..."


Green and Blue didn't look too keen on the idea either. Neither did Red of course, who put a hand up to his mouth in concern.


Raising his chin, Second continued heading to the nether portal opposite from Purple's.


Green had been mulling it over, though he eventually sighed, let out a "Fine," and headed towards the portal too. Second was right, after all. Only bad things seemed to come from being away from home too long, especially if there were nether portals involved.

Blue, Yellow, and Red followed suit, albeit reluctantly. The latter even looking back disappointedly at Purple's portal. "Okay..."





It'd been a while since Purple had stepped through the nether portal. He wouldn't have thought it'd take the others so long to come after him.

Purple came out of the nether portal and looked around for the sticks. "...Guys?" His feigned excitement tapering off drastically at the hiccup in the plan.

...Ah, there they were. Leaving.

...

...It made sense that they were leaving him, after previously seeming like they were his friends, without even saying goodbye. It's not as if he'd given them any reason to trust him anyway, especially with his working with King Orange and all, even if they didn't know about that last detail.

Slouching against the nether portal, he fell into a sit. Wait. Purple stiffened. What was he going to tell King Orange?





"Wait, look!" Red called to the rest of the line of stick figures, staring back at the portal. Green and the rest looked back to see a dejected looking Purple.

Red put his hands on his hips, looking back towards the color gang again. "Well? He looks so sad. We can't just leave him like that."

Yellow caught his eye, put his hands on his own hips, and nodded decisively. "Of course not!"


Returning the nod with a smile, Red ran back to Purple, with Yellow closely behind, and Blue following shortly behind the two of them, looking relieved.


Green had begun to go as well, but he halted and waited for Second to make his choice. "You coming?"

Oh, Green could visibly tell Sec definitely didn't want to go with Purple, even though the orange stick then started heading for Purple's portal too. "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, I'm coming."


By the time Green and Second made it over there, Red had been mimicking Purple's excited motion from earlier. That coupled with the chant, "Parkour! Parkour! Parkour!" had immediately brightened Purple back up and gotten him to join in too, with the rest of the sticks- excluding Second, -doing so as well, to where now they had an entire squad of stickmen chanting "Parkour! Parkour! Parkour!" with varying levels of passion in their voices.

And on that note, they all went through the portal one by one.
