On their way to the park the two of them kept talking about anything and everything. SMG4's mood was extremely high ever since they left the theatre, making SMG3 grow more and more confident. He was determined to FINALLY confess his feelings in the park.
No more distractions.
No more chaos.
Just honest, romantic feelings.
That's what this stupid string wanted, right?
SMG3 wasn't sure if it was hope or naivety that made him believe that there would be no chaos during this date. But whatever lead him to that thought, it was shattered as soon as he saw Luigi head towards them on a horse-drawn carriage, throwing flower petals around him and waving at the two Meme Guardians standing at the entrance of the park.
"Juhooo!!" Luigi smiled "Special romantic carriage ride for SMG3 and SMG4"
They noticed Kaizo on top of the carriage, playing something on his drums to make the entrance more spectacular.
SMG3 had enough.
"You know what? Fuck this." He turned towards SMG4 and picked him up, carrying him in his arms like a princess.
"Im not dealing with more of your friends shenanigans for today".
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" SMG4 was blushing, extremely confused about what was happening.
"We're getting out of here." With that, SMG3 ran towards the forest to the east of the park.
Luigi was screaming after them, telling them to stop but SMG3 was finally sick of constantly getting interrupted by everyone. If he wanted to confess, he needed to do it somewhere quiet, somewhere where it was just the two of them.
After a short while of running, SMG3 stopped. They were now in the middle of the forest, far away from anyone who could disturb them. Instead of Luigi's panicked screams the only thing they could hear was the chirping of birds.
The sun was starting to set again, painting the forest in a slight yellow light and reminding SMG3 of the little moment he had with SMG4 in the Internet Graveyard Forest, when they first held hands.
This was it. He was going to confess.
"Uh dude?" SMG4 suddenly spoke up "can- can you let me down?"
Only now did SMG3 realize he was still holding SMG4 tightly. "OH SHIT SORRY"
Without thinking, he immediately let go of SMG4, causing him to fall down to the forest floor.
"OUCH, DUDE!" SMG4 snapped at SMG3.
"SORRY! I panicked" SMG3 bent down and reached out his hand to help SMG4 get back up.
But when SMG4 tried to lift his hand, he realized that something was preventing him from doing so.
"Hold on" SMG4 pulled at his hand "the string is stuck under this branch."
As soon as these words left Fours mouth, both men froze.
Ever since they both got the string, three things about it had always been true:
1) The string was tied between them
2) Other people could see and interact with it, BUT
3) It couldn't interact with any objects like furniture or walls.
For the past two days, these rules had always been true. But now, it seemed that the third rule just got broken. All day, the red string was passing through walls and going through furniture, only being able to interact with people.
But now it was stuck under a tree branch?
They both looked at each other in shock.
They went on this whole date-thing to make the string disappear – not make it stronger.
