As the drawn sun rose across The Sunshine World, it's gentle light woke up a disgruntled Bob. He obviously was not a morning person, and his blaring alarm clock didn't make it any better. As he wakes up in his empty home, his calm first moments of the day are suddenly interrupted by a loud searing noise piercing his eyes. He squints his eyes with annoyance at his blaring clock yelling at him for his full attention. 

"BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!" 

"Ugh, quiet down..." He complains as he tries to shut off his stupid beeping alarm clock, and as much as he hated it, it always manage to wake him up, albeit leaving him in an even more grumpy mood than before. Considering that he was still upset about that fact that a day earlier that he lost a rap battle to an annoying blue haired boy who called him Dream and looked like a ten year old, it was an unwise idea to make Bob too grumpy. "Urgh! Why aren't you shutting you up?! You broken or something?" Bob says groggy, his annoyance rising and a slight blackish goop forming around him. A thick, black, mysterious thing made up of all their negative emotions . He still tries to keep his cool however, despite his urge to destroy that clock into dust . Taking a long sigh, he says more calmly "Listen, just shut up okay?" He says to the clock as he tries to shut it off.  Trying his hardest to keep his cool, he doesn't need another problem on top of everything that was and is going south in his life right now.

"BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!" 

"Just shut up already..." The goo slowly overtaking him, his eyes turning from soft and round to sharp and piercing too, twitching a bit now. He's losing to his temper now...

"BEEP BEEP! BEEP BE- CRUNCH!" Pieces of the clock fall to the ground as it's stabbed with a crimson spike.

"I SAID SHUT UP ALREADY!!" Bob yells with a infuriated gaze. As soon as he screams, the world around him starts to distort again. Quickly changing from sunny, grassy hill paradise into a bloody and demonic version covered with jagged rocks. Turning deep shades of red, his world now The Crimson Hellscape. Bob looks around again with his disturbed expression and face palms himself annoyed about his temper.  "DAMM IT, IT HAPPENED BLOODY AGAIN!" He screams, breathing heavily and seething with rage. Slowly he tries to calm his thoughts and self with little progress "Okay, CALM DOWN BOB! It's NOT a big deal okay?!" He reassures himself, it not really helping much. Bob tries to think harder and find a positive of this situation "Well, at least you don't have to worry about that stupid alarm clock anymore, yeah, that's a good thing!" He tells himself optimistically, however this only partially changing him back to normal too. Still partially goopy and demonic as well.  

"Maybe I just need some fresh air..." He thought to himself as he shuffles outside, the still hellish and hot land space not helping much. Taking a deep breath he felt the ashy and uncomfortably warm air that was once crisp and cool too. "Ugh, this isn't help at all, maybe I should just go to mope inside instead." He replies defeated. He sighs and starts to shuffle back inside again. "Uhm, hello?" A new feminine voice replies slightly confused and scared, catching his attention.

 "Is anyone there?" She asks as she looks around the new hellscape, he black horns pointed up and her black tail drooping too. Coming here wasn't as much of relaxing getaway as she though, considering that everything to her just look to be a boiling wasteland.

As quick as lightning, Bob rushes to her back in a demonic form from the shock of a new face, especially when he was in a vulnerable state emotionally. "HOW DID YOU GET HERE?" He asks confused and on edge, not understanding what's happening isn't helping him at all. "Okay whatever, THAT DOESN'T MATTER. ALL THAT MATTERS IS YOU LEAVE, NOW!" He yells at her upset, barely keeping his composure together. The thought of someone being around him right now was already stressing him out even more and too much to bear too, having to worry if he would do something that he would quickly regret to her, or him. She stares at him with confusion and fear, not really knowing what's going on right now. "But I didn't mean anything ba-" 

"I SAID GET OUT! NOW!!" He screams unleashing a barrage of crimson spikes from upon the ground. She stares at him terrified, but regains her composure quickly enough to dodge the spikes and clings onto one finally for safety. "I'm sorry for intruding at a bad time!" She tells Bob sadly, looking down a bit, "I didn't mean to make you upset or mad, I'll just go now..." she replies walking away slowly with guilt in her eyes. Bob touches her shoulder softly with his black, gooey hand, and takes a breather as he closes his eyes to try to put together the words he want to say too, and make them come out coherently as well. "Wait stop!" He calls out to her, she stops in her path and look at him, frowning softly a bit. "That was a quick change of heart." She exclaims surprised at why Bob wanted her to stay all of a sudden. He himself now has a guilty look "I'm...sorry for lashing out like that." He tells her looking away a bit in guilt, ashamed of his actions again, "It was completely uncalled for. It's just that I was in an upset state at the time, and when I'm upset I can tend to get a little more, aggressive than how I usually am. And when you came along all I could think about was me accidentally hurting someone new again, so I tried to push you away and...I didn't handle it the way that I should have..." She looks at him and can tell that he's showing his true colors now, him just trying to protect her from himself and handled that really badly. "It wasn't your fault because you couldn't have know and I understand if you're mad and-" Suddenly he's given a friendly hug from her, surprised at her reaction. "What are you doing?" He asks genuinely confused, her embrace comforting him though and making his dark and demonic self fade slowly away into his usually soft and sweet normal self again. 

"Well, what does it look like? I'm hugging you!" She says as she perks up again "You seemed like you needed it, plus I think that you deserve one too." Bob smiles yet is still confused, "But I was acting like a monster before, demonic, angry, dangerous with all those red spiky things. I could have hurt you BADLY, and you're still want to give me a hug and not back away from me?! Why?!" He asks her confused out his mind. She just gives him a smile "Well, although I will admit that your anger was scary at first, after a little bit I could tell that just were trying  to distance yourself to not hurt anyone!" She smiles as her tail wants a bit softly too "You're not as much of a bad person as you say, uhm, sorry what's your name?" She asks embarrassed, feeling like she ruined the vibe a bit. "Oh! Uhm...I'm Bob! And who are you?" He replies with the same amount of blush too. "I'm Opheebop, nice to meet you, Bob." She looks at him and grins with a glowing smile on her face. Bob's world, like his mode, goes back to its happy stage, although shining a little brighter than its usually does.

"Well, it's nice to meet you too Opheebop..." he says with a newfound happy feeling inside him. "Come with me, I want to get you something, you know, as a thank you for your help and comfort too." He says to her with a warm smile, her eyes lighting up with a happy smile back as the two go to a treat together. 

Today might have started off crummy, but this new person called Opheebop managed to turn that already around, and he didn't think that his joy was going to end anytime soon too...
