"Do we have a deal?"

"..."

"DO WE HAVE A DEAL?"

Two objects were standing around in an undisclosed location, the plastic one seems to be trying to make a deal with the other.

"Do..you really prom..ise that..?"

"Yes Airy, I promise that but what about you? Do we have a deal or not!?"

"Yeaa...ah, we have a..deal Sod-...Bryce.."

The pair were in Airy's little cave. It was were he controlled everything to do with ONE. He had made a deal with the soda bottle and he was going to do his part. He reached for the microphone on his desk.

Ai: "Hey..guys. I have some..good news? You all get to..go home now..but.."

The but worried Bryce, what was he going to say? Was he going to do something to them?

Ai: "..do you guys want your wishes first or..?"

A relieved sigh escaped the bottle as he watched the lantern before him type. He was giving them what they wanted and was about to send them back until he turned to Bryce.

B: "What?"

Ai: "Do you want to..say something to them before I send them back..?"

Bryce glanced at the Plane and then back to Airy.

B: "Sure.."

The soda bottle walked towards the microphone as he had previously been keeping his distance from the lantern, the mic was still on. He leaned down almost trying to think of what to say.

B: "Hey, it's me Bryce or as you know, Soda Bottle-"

S: "SODA BOTTLE!? IT'S REALLY YOU? THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY-"

B: "Calm down Scenty! I'm fine but that's not important. I made a deal with Airy and he's sending you guys home now, it's over."

M: "Heh...thanks..man....you saved..us.."

Moldy's speech was slow, Bryce looked towards Airy and the lantern somehow knew what the bottle wanted. Typing something into the computer, the mold on the bread had somewhat disappeared, not entirely but that was out of the lanterns control.

B: "Don't thank me, I wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for Liam basically pushing me to solve the notes with him, he's the one you should thank."

The Plane was silent, it was if the objects were confused on what Bryce said, he picked up on why.

B: "Backpack I mean, his..name is Liam.....h-he came to my apartment and we found Texty and they helped us with the puzzle too..."

S: "Thank you, all three of you. Is Backpack there? I want to thank him in person I guess."

Bryce froze as he put a fist to his face, biting one of his fingers. What was he to say?

B: "I....I don't-....I don't know where he..he is......We got separated before I got to..Airy's world but I'm going to look for him when you guys get home."

It seemed like she understood and trusted Bryce to find his bo-.."best friend".....and that would be the last time they'd see eachother, for a while at least. The slight smile on the bottle's face faded as he faced Airy.

B: "Are we able to access any other...commands via Texty's laptop? From the website I mean."

Ai: "Uh...yeah.."

B: "I don't trust leaving the computer here for someone to find it and become the new you so....we'll have to destroy it..alright?"

Ai: "You can go ahead..I can get the things to..work on the laptop.."

Without any hesitation, Bryce swept everything off the desk in the cave, pc and monitor crashing to the floor. To definitely make sure everything was broken, the soda bottle picked up the computer parts and slammed them against the floor as hard as he could while the lantern was sitting on the stool working with the laptop. Bryce looked at the planets around the desk, walked over to one after another and crushed them with his bare hands quite easily.

Ai: "If you're done..I have everything set up to bring us..back to your..apartment.."

The soda bottle didn't speak a word but instead nodded towards Airy. The lantern looked back at the laptop and pressed the enter key. Soon enough, the three objects, Texty was included, were standing in Bryce's apartment and was it only now that he realised how much of a state it was. Things scattered in random places and everything was unorganised, he couldn't leave it like how a dog would throw a sh*te (another word for sh*t btw) but that wasn't the top priority right now, he needed to find Liam!

B: "I'm going to root through the code on his profile, if I'm able to do that so just...get comfortable I guess, I got a couch and TV when Liam stayed with me, watch that if you want.."

Ai: "O..kay.."

Airy walked over to the sofa and sat on it, he was quite surprised with how soft it was but then again, the softest thing he's felt in the least decade was reeds, this was an improvement. He looked at the remote beside him and he thinks he remembers how to work it, so he tries with the best of his ability. He successfully turned on the TV and the first programme on was a cartoon that he immediately got hooked on. This would keep him occupied while Bryce worked with Texty.

A notes tab was open on the side of the laptop, it was there so Texty could "talk" while the soda bottle worked on trying to access anything with Liam's profile. He didn't have luck on his side, the website kept glitching and lagging whenever he tried to gain access to anything on the bag's profile, annoying the bottle, he groaned in frustration as he put his hand on his face. How long have they been back in the apartment again? He looks at the time at the bottom of the laptop and it read 3:38am. God, what time did they even get back at? Bryce remembers that Airy f***ing exists and looks over to the sofa to see the lantern still fixated on the cartoons. As long as it kept him busy, Bryce didn't care. He only cared about Liam...he..only cared about..Liam.... Liam.........Oh f**k-

Bryce begins to feel his face heat up, seems like he forgot that he's been crushing on that absolute dumba** for awhile. Texty, not being oblivious like the divorced couple, knew what was going on and typed out a "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
to mess with the bottle. Bryce just simply glared at the laptop because now it not the time for any gay sh*t. It was never the right time for it, unfortunately. Oh sh*t, the time.

B: "It's like nearly 4am, I'll get back to this in the morning. Hey Airy?"

Ai: "Yeah..?"

B: "I'm gonna head to bed, are you alright with sleeping on the couch?"

Ai: "Yeah..I am.."

B: "Alright and make sure to turn that off when you're done."

Ai: "I will.."

With that being said, Bryce turned off his apartment light, the only light source left was from the TV but the soda bottle didn't mind. He made his way to his bed and laid down to sleep. He couldn't find himself to be able to do so, it wasn't because of the sound or light illuminated from the TV, he didn't know what it was but eventually after an hour of trying to fall asleep, the bottle finally conked out.
