Rainy Day | An IDFB Fanfic

Chapter 8

NEEDLE: (According to Golf Ball, the storm lasted for approximately 36 hours before finally ending as dawn began to emerge. Slowly, we had all stepped out of our homes and looked around, assessing the damage. Some of the buildings had been damaged from wind or rain or whatever, but none of them had toppled over. That was good.

The sunrise that morning was the most pretty one I've ever seen. I was there with Coiny, Pin, and Firey in front of the houses as we sat down and watched the sky turn from orange and yellow to blue. According to Coiny, I had only been dead for a few hours, but strangely, it felt like it'd been days since I last saw the sun.)

PIN: It's.. beautiful..

FIREY: It's not that special, I had to see it everyday.

COINY: Oh, right, you never went to the TLC.

NEEDLE: ("Even though you should've been sent there" was probably something Coiny also wanted to say, but now wasn't the time. Firey's stability currently seemed to be ruined by just about anything due to his punishment, and that would only freak him out more.)

COINY: Y'know, I feel like this storm has brought us all closer together. We all worked together to achieve a shared goal!

PIN: Yeah, I can't remember the last time that happened..

FIREY: Probably when all of us decided to join the show.

NEEDLE: Even then, everyone was so aggressive when it came to the prize. Even Leafy.

COINY: Speaking of Leafy, I hope that she's ok, the others didn't seem too happy about letting her go so easily.

PIN: She'll be fine, her staying here was only a temporary thing.

COINY: ..I guess.

NEEDLE: (I wish he was concerned about me like that.) Should we do something to celebrate.. I dunno, being alive?

PIN: We should get ice cream!

FIREY: I thought there wasn't a place to make ice cream in this city..

PIN: Yeah, but if we beg, Tennis Ball will probably take pity on us and invent a machine that can generate ice cream!

COINY: That's a brilliant idea! Let's go ask him right now!

NEEDLE: (Coiny and Pin got up, running off while they loudly laughed. Firey followed them, smiling despite everything.. Why is everyone happy except me? This storm may have brought everyone else together, but it felt like it only distanced me from everyone, showing how much of a hindrance I am..

I suddenly got a bright idea, following behind everyone else as we stormed Golf Ball's factory to find Tennis Ball. While she lectured the rest of them for breaking and entering without permission, I crept over to the incinerator and pulled out the empty bottle of pills. Leafy had given the container to me right before she left, staring at me with a concerned expression. Must've taken it back from Pin. Just thinking about it made me upset, but I used that anger to chuck the bottle into the lava. There, now I could forget about all of this.

From now on, I'm going to never act out like this ever again.
I'll be someone others can depend on no matter what.
Even if it means never complaining.)
