Nickel's POV
I got bored being on my phone so I put it down on the the side table trying to think of something else to do. I look at the alarm. 10:27. It didn't even feel that long. I spotted a note on the side table. I pick it up and read what it says."Things you need to know." Just rules about the hotel. I hop off my bed and decided to take a walk. This is not what I'd normally do but I thought maybe there was something to do that I would just so happen to walk by. No surprise, nothing was happening. I decide to grab a juice box when I hear someone walking towards me. I turn around to see OJ.
OJ: Hey Nickel.
Nickel: Hey OJ.
OJ: I forgot to ask you how is you and your roommate.
Nickel: Well besides him being there, it's okay. I guess him being there isn't too bad because he doesn't bother me.
OJ: Have you tried talking to him?
Nickel: Why bother?!? He's a balloon full of lies
OJ gives Nickel a Stern look
Nickel: (sigh) no...
OJ: You got to talk to him or else nothing will work out.
Nickel: I know I know... (sigh) Look I'll find the right time to talk to him ok.
OJ: You promise?
Nickel: I promise.
OJ holds out his hand. I lift up my foot shaking his hand. (🤣𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚎)
OJ: It's a very sunny day outside. Maybe you can take a walk.
Nickel: I guess that's not a bad idea.
OJ opens the door for me.
OJ: I'll call you back in when it's lunch time.
Nickel: K bye.
I walk outside aimlessly, trying to wrap my head around what just happened. Did I seriously just promise that?! Why would I do that? Maybe Balloon isn't that bad. Oh who am I kidding!? I think he showed his true colors in season one. I think... But what if I'm wrong about him? Maybe he is a cool guy and not like season one Balloon. But that doesn't explain why he acted like that to begin with. It just didn't make sense. Did he act like that for the money or for some other reason. All of this is so confusing. Maybe I should talk with him and get some answers but he would wonder why I would want to talk with him in the first place. Maybe I should wait for him to talk to me. Like that would happen! Well maybe-
???: Nickel!?!
Freeze after hearing someone in the distance. I look around, trying to see who could've said my name. My eyes stop on something a type of salmon color. I walk closer to see who it is. Balloon?!?
Not here not now. I was thinking of turning back but then I that this was a chance to talk with him. This will be different but guess I can try.

I started walking over to Balloon trying to think of something to say. I sit down next to him. I guess I'm here now. There goes my plan on trying to ignore him.

Balloon's POV
This is so odd. Is Nickel actually sitting next to me. This feels like a trap. Why is he even here?
Nickel: Hey.
Balloon: Oh hi. Sooo what are you doing here?
Nickel: Umm well (mumbles) I came out here to talk to you
Balloon: What?
Nickel: (sighs) Look, I wanna trust you so I'm here to talk to you and I guess ask some questions.
I turn to look at Nickel seeing his face is visibly a light red shade.
Balloon: Really?
Nickel: Yeah
Balloon: Ok
