Everything was going a bit smoothly in the cafeteria, for most of the students expect for Freezi and Hots to an extent. Once again, they were wondering where Blawger was, but this time they were rather worried.
- "Blawger isn't here again..." Hotstuff mentioned.
Freezi would nod in concern, knowing this is the 2nd time this happened.
- "Blawger? Where are you?" Shivor would call out.
Freezi and Hostuff turned his attention to Shivor.
-"Shivor? What's going on?" Freezi asked, walking up to her with Hotstuff.
- "I'm looking for Blawger, I haven't seen him since this morning..." Shivor sounded just as worried as they did.
- "He ran off somewhere earlier... And he won't even tell me what's wrong.." Freezi said.
- "Oh.. I hope he's doing okay.." Shivor said.
The moment seemingly stopped once a white butterfly landed onto Freezi's head, fluttering it's wings slightly.
- "Eh?" Freezi looked up, holding the butterfly in their hands.
- "Awww! Where'd this little guy come from?" Hotstuff looked at the butterfly in adoration.
- "I'm not really sure..." Freezi gently patted the butterfly's wings. "But I think it might be a clue to finding Blawger."
Suddenly, the lights immediately went out.
- "WHAT TH- What happened to the lights?!" Astroy panicked, spitting out his drink.
The sudden outage made Rocky cower in fear within Pyrope's arms and tremble, Pyrope would embrace Rocky in attempt to tone him down.
- "How did this happen?!" Freezi would frantically look around the cafeteria.
The butterfly would leave Freezi's hands and out of the area to at least somewhere within the school.
- "The butterfly! It's flying away!" Hotstuff yelled out. "It could lead to Blawger!"
Freezi and Shivor nodded, the three ran out of the cafeteria with the some of the rest of the other students, various swarms of butterflies and were floating around the halls and even towards the students themselves.
- "GAH! What are these things doing! Why are they around us?!" Rocky began to panic more.
- Banjoe tried shooeing them away, but to no use. "I don't know! They just won't budge!"
They all tried to swat the butterflies away, yet they continued to come and go and swarm around them. That was until Globbie ran up to resolve the issue.
- "Guys, there's no use in getting rid of them!" Globbie stopped in his tracks as he approached the group.
- "These white butterflies... They feed off of a Mixel's insecurities..." Globbie was a bit out of breath.
The group looked at eachother and then back at Globbie.
- "You guys have to try and make peace with them.. don't let them get to your head.." Globbie said, standing upward after catching his breath.
The students thought, and agreed, they couldn't just stand there and let these butterflies overtake them.
- "He's right you guys... Let's do this together!" Shivor said, taking out a cube it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The group of students made their way to the end of the hall, finding the butterfly that flew of.
Unexpectedly, they found something truly surprising, no... Horrifying.
A giant white silken cocoon was coiled at the wall, all while webs and and white butterflies surrounded it.
- "Oh my mixels..." Freezi said in shock, tearing up a bit.
All the while, Blawger tried to pull out the webs of the cocoon, seeing if it would at least be torn out.
- "Buddy..?" Hotstuff called out to Blawger.
This caused Blawger to become alert, looking at the group behind him.
- "Oh uh, hey fellas! I just.. found butterflies following me and then I saw this thing!" Blawger explained, speaking like everything was perfectly fine.
- "Bud, stop trying to hide it... Seeing all of this, we can tell you're really insecure.." Freezi put their hand on Blawger's shoulder.
Blawger immediately tried to brush this off, and went back to pulling out the silk from the cocoon.
- "Everything's fine! I can do this! I can do this.. I can do this..." Blawger sounded more frantic on his speech.
He kept trying.
Again.
Again.
And again.
Until he just couldn't try anymore.
- "I can't do this.. I can't.. can't..." Blawger fell onto his knees. "Why won't it all just.. go away..?"
Freezi would pull Blawger into a warm embrace comfortingly, not letting him go.
- "It can't just go away, buddy..." Freezi said comfortingly. "Just let it out..."
Blawger would remain speechless as Hotstuff and Shivor embraced him as well.
- "We're here for you Blawgy..." Hotstuff said to Blawger warmly.
- "We mixels are all insecure, even you and that's okay..." Shivor said.
- "I... I..." Blawger stammered, until he finally burst into tears.
He'd sob uncontrollably, not letting a single tear be kept in.
- "All this time... For so long I.. I kept on hiding my feelings..." He would admit. "Yet I should've opened up about them.. made peace with them..."
Freezi would gently hold Blawger's face with a soft smile.
"Now you have..."
The lights would then flicked back on as the cocoon bursted, leaving a bunch of white and black flowers.
- "You feel better now, buddy..?" Shivor asked.
Blawger let out a chuckle, while he was still slightly crying he couldn't help but smile.
- "Yeah... I do.." He said.
"I'm glad to have fellow mixels like you..."
Freezi, Blawger, and Hotstuff would hug once more.
