Teardrop rests her head against the tree behind her, watching Needle pace back and forth.

"I just don't get it!" Needle exclaims, "How could she be so cruel?"

Teardrop shrugs, grabbing a sharp rock and tossing it up into the air, then proceeding to catch it.

"TD.. Golfball is a menace! She's a tyrant! We need to do something!" Needle kicks a pebble in frustration, "It's not fair!"

Teardrop continues to toss the rock up and down. Her immediate thought is this rock could be a weapon. Perhaps she could crack this over Golfball's head.

"TD.. come on! Are you even listening? She called me Needy! I don't like that! So I slapped her and then she kicked me out! What gives?!" She shouts, disturbing the silence.

"Shut up..." Barf Bag mumbles, looking at the sky—searching for whatever cloud, that refused to partake in precipitation or moving, her deceased leader was frolicking inside.

Barf Bag moves her wrist slightly. The wrist that Leafy had once bit. Barf Bag's wrist was open to infection, and is now hot to the touch. Probably infected. Curse that time she bit my hand, Barf Bag thinks, I shouldn't have even tried to help her in the first place.

"Stop acting so edgy! Come on! You were only allowed to come with us since you weren't a drag! Come on, don't be one!" Needle commands, folding her arms.

"Well gee, don't go all Golfball on me," Barf Bag rolls her eyes.

Needle gasps, "Do not compare me to that tyrant!"

"Would you like a good insult and crying session?" Yellow Face snickers, "Call Barf Bag to help! The most depressing object in our-"

"SHUT UP!" Barf Bag yells, disgusted at their nonsense. She left her old team and the food for time to mourn the loss of Donut, not be insulted.

Teardrop tries to drown out the noise. She tosses the rock up and down, up and down. An attempt to pass the time.

Lollipop skips after the integer, "Oh, kind sir! What'll we do today?"

"I am going to find my friend, you delusional freak," The blue number grumbles, gritting their teeth.

"Oh I am no delusional freak, I am the princess of Königreich, which means kingdom! And you're my wonderful savior..! My hero!" Lollipop grins, "You saved me from that hideous dragon...!"

"Fine. You're not a delusional freak. You're a schizophrenic," The integer rolls his eyes, "If only you were helpful... then I could actually get somewhere..."

The integer looks at the horizon, sighing to themselves when they see no landmarks. Well, except for-

"Yooo! Dude..!!" A voice rings out from over a hill, "Check out this trick..!"

"It's dumb! You've got no style!" Another rings out, more demanding than the other.

For the first time in a while, the integer, Four, has found something. Something with powers like him. Something- no.. some people that will live forever.

Some friends. Some people who can help, unlike Lollipop.

Four, and Lollipop even if she doesn't know it yet, found a source of hope...
