Frankie.

    "So, you're back now?" Techno glances at me, his arms crossed as he leans on the fence.

"Yeah" I shrug.

"And.. why is Punz glarin' at me?" He asks. We both turn our heads, staring at Punz who stood next to me, (Herbert still tied to his wrist), his eyes not leaving Techno.

"Afraid I'll die again, but it doesn't matter! Dream and him can always just bring me back" I roll my eyes.

"You can't be careless Frankie!" Punz speaks up, grabbing my hand, Herbert floats in-between us. "I don't want you to get hurt again!"

"Eh.." Techno grimaces, stepping back. "Cringe.."

"This has been happening since I was revived" I deadpan, looking at Techno.

Techno chuckles. "How'd you even lose your last life?"

"Ah, it's embarrassing but you're my buddy so I'll tell you-- Purpled swung his sword at me and I slipped on the mud and cracked my head open" I tell him. "Definitely not as embarrassing as trusting someone and losing a life to them" I roll my wrist.

"Frankie are you cold? What if you get sick and die?" Punz places a hand on my forehead. "Your head is hot! I think you have a fever--"

"Idiot" I take his hand off my forehead. "My body heat is always over the average humans"

"Ah, right! Right!" He nods.

"Bro, Punz" Techno starts, Punz tenses at his voice. "Don't you think you're being a little overprotective?"

"Trust me Techno, it was so much worse when I woke up" I turn my head away from Techno, look at Punz, he stared at Techno, holding my hand tightly in his.

"Frankie! Holy fuck, thank god you're okay!" Punz latches onto me, squeezing me so tight I lose my breath. "I can't believe Purpled would do such a thing! I'm never letting you out of my sight again!"

"Punz, how did you know about what happened before I told you?" I ask, he looks up from our hands.

Since I died, I hadn't seen Purpled, it was as if he never existed. I saw Dream after I was revived but he didn't seem to care that I died, acting like he just saw me the day before and I didn't die during the time in-between.

"Oh.. Purpled told me right after, I'm pretty pissed off at him, so I'm not joining in on the plan tomorrow" Punz scowls.

"What plan?" Techno joins back in on the conversation, he had just been picking at wooden splinters on the fence before.

"Uh, well.. were just finishing your job" I try to not reveal our actual plan. "Involving.. Quackity"

"So, you want to kill Quackity?" He gruffs. "Good luck I guess, and hey, if I get asked about the murder, I won't snitch!" Techno raises his hands up to his chest.
