Take-Over: A BFB/TPOT AU

Chapter 51: Apologies? Kind of...

8-ball & Tennis Ball

The tension was as thick as it could be. 8-ball purposefully ignored Tennis Ball, and when Tennis Ball did mention to talk to him, he always said some...Curt things. Tennis Ball liked this as much as researching Evil Leafy. It's been keeping him up at night, too focused on what could possibly be the solution. Speaking of Evil Leafy, he's gone nowhere with her. He was still stuck on what could be causing other evil versions of other objects, but he couldn't find anything. He tried to go into Grassy's watch that signaled where he was and get some footage, but what used to be Grassy broke it; (Purposefully it seems too). He sighed and looked at it from a distance. Nights of researching led to nothing but dark circles and a lack of motivation.

He heard his door open and looked behind him. 8-ball rolled in, grunting a hello and looked through his drawer. Did he finally get over it? He felt relieved and started talking to 8-ball. "Oh, 8-ball! Finally, we can start working together! I need help finding out what to do here, you see Evil Leafy has-" He was cut off by a warping noise and saw that 8-ball had disappeared. He didn't want to make up with Tennis Ball, he just wanted the sphere! Feeling betrayed, he quickly started up the machine and typed in black dyed plastic and saw where 8-ball was. He was approaching the lake where he found...Saw and Gaty?!

Was he out of his mind? He can't beat those two! Not by himself at least. He didn't know much about the two, but he DID know that both were strong enough to take him down. They seemed to be asleep and didn't notice 8-ball quickly coming closer. Gaty stirred, and her eyes shot open as 8-ball rammed them into the lake. Both Saw and Gaty fell in, seemingly struggling to stay afloat. Looks like they don't know how to swim. He could see Saw flailing in the body of water, yelling for Gaty to help. Gaty herself didn't make an appearance and seems to have been pulled completely down by the water. 8-ball looked on, victoriously as Saw was starting to get tired.

At last, Saw stopped moving her arms, and had a despairful and tired look as she went under. 8-ball started taking the sphere out and was about to come back when he heard a gasp. He turned around and saw Gaty climbing out, coughing up water. 8-ball tried to go for her, but the sphere already teleported him back, causing him to charge into Tennis Ball. It stunned both of them for a second, before 8-ball started to try and go back. However, it wasn't working. 8-ball got frustrated and looked like he was about to explode before he took a breath.

"It needs to recharge, I forgot about that."
Tennis Ball looked at the sphere closely, it was dull, and there was no light. He remembered now, how he and 8-ball found out that the ball had restrictions. It was when they got a large amount of food but teleported without most of it. They tried going back for it, but it didn't let them, and when they DID return after 3 hours, most of it was gone. (They still don't know what happened to it) Tennis Ball looked back at the tracker, which showed 8-ball being in his room.

He decided to type in Gaty's material and was shown that she was in the water until where her legs ended, looking around for what he figured to be Saw's body. She seemed panicked and scared, afraid of what was already true: Saw had drowned in the lake and would never come back.

"Um, is everything ok?"

Naily asked, shifting her feet uncomfortably. She was in the doorframe of Donut's room, looking at him and Barf Bag. Both of them were in a terrible shape. Donut was about as red as much as he was beige, and Barf Bag had tears falling from her eyes. They were holding each other, and from what Naily had heard, were consoling one another. She didn't know how she got into this uncomfortable situation. She just wanted a drink, which meant passing Donut's room. And when she did, she heard crying. So, as a friend and teammate, she walked in, checking in on them. Both looked at her as if she saw something she wasn't supposed to see and started talking at the same time.

"Hey Naily! Just ignore this and go back to Bomby..."
"Oh! Hi, we're kind of in the middle of something..."

Naily eyed both of them suspiciously and nodded her head. "Uh huh, alright." She closed the door and pretended to walk away, but she stood close to the door. Her teammates weren't acting right, and she needed to get to the bottom of it! Although she couldn't hear most of the conversation, she picked up on some small parts of it. "...happening for a while...my fault...nothing to do with you...everything's ok between you and Naily." Wait me? Donut was talking about her? Why? Was this about that time when she got annoyed at Barf Bag? That was just a little jibe! She doesn't need to get upset about that. She swung the door open by kicking it and alarmed the two.

"I heard you two! Listen, I didn't mean to snap at you like that Barf Bag. But I REALLY needed to talk to Bomby. It was to clear up something that was pretty important."
She straightened herself up and looked at them with an air of confidence. The other two looked at her, Donut seeming somewhat content at her response while Barf Bag seemed to be relieved and slightly embarrassed. Naily herself felt it weighing heavier in her stomach, but she swallowed it away. She bowed for a slight second before leaving the room and running to Bomby, completely forgetting about the drink. She closed the door loudly behind her and looked over at Bomby, who gave her a questioning look.
"Are you ok Naily?"
She nodded, and he went back to his nap. Naily sighed and sat next to him, closing her eyes and drifting to sleep, not hearing the screams that echoed outside the room.
