None of the still playing season 2 contestants have anything in common with her.. This is gonna make things way trickier.. Taco thought. Knife probably won't want to join, he's made that clear plenty of times before.. Lightbulb, is just gonna try to help her with feelings and not MONEY most likely. Baseball?.. No, he'd mess up in a way.. But maybe...

Taco hopped into her bush, watching suitcase intently. She's Better fit. Taco grinned, but that's when she realized suitcase was coming into the forest! Taco watched as she went deeper. Perfect. Taco followed her.

Suitcase sat down, looking at the mountains around her. Taco tilted her head, How did she know the way here?.. That's besides the point, time to start. She stayed hidden in the bush, trying to find the perfect timing to come in.

"Well great, my chances of getting eliminated are even higher! All my friends left and these.. Visions?? keep getting worse and worse.. I just wish I-"

"Had a friend?" Taco jumped out of the bush, looking down at suitcase, who was sitting close towards the cliff. Suitcase jumped instinctively, staring at taco with wide eyes. "You're.. You're.."

"What, the grinch?? No I'm taco.." This made suitcase snort a little. Taco grinned as she walked a slow circle around suitcase. "So.. visions you say? Like.. the ones with the gems?"

"Who wants to know?."
"I want to know."
"Why?"

This made taco think for a moment. What could she say? "I find it interesting. Do you know when it started?" Taco tilted her head. Suitcase thought for a moment, then shook her head. "They just happen randomly, I think it started.. during the maze? They aren't memories, like those gems.. My visions of sorts just mostly pop out when I'm alone, or nobody is paying attention to me I guess.. "

Taco nodded. "Well. One of those gems kind of knocked me in the head." She pointed to her cracked shell. Now that she thought about it, was  that tomato coming loose?

Suitcase made a oof sound. "Well, ever since balloon left people aren't really paying attention to me really. The other three try to but they aren't  really a friend, friend. Y'know?"

"If anything, I'd know the most about loosing someone." Taco said, rubbing her shoulder sadly.
"Well.. maybe we both can be friends! It would be nice having a fresh start on someone to talk to?" Suitcase suggested, smiling. "Yeah, that'd be nice I think.." Taco smiled. "Well I ought to get going now! Goodbye, suitcase." She left the cliff, walking to her clearing. The closer she got the bigger her grin got.

She bought it.
