Stuck with you.

1

The sun was setting as Mephone sat near the sea. He generated a jar of cookies and opened the jar up to take one cookie to munch on. He was alone, and it was silent. The only sounds that were heard are the sounds of the waves and the crunches of his cookies. It was nice, and quiet-

Mephone started vibrating, to see he was being called by Test Tube of all objects. He wondered if this was important. He answered the call. "Uh— hello?"

"Hi Mephone." She greeted. "I need to ask you something, a favour, actually." Mephone was abit nervous about this. He didn't want to do anything at the moment. It was a rest from the last episode of invitational, as he put III on hiatus for personal reasons. All of the contestants were at Hotel OJ for awhile, while there were no competitions being held yet. "Uh…what is it?"

"So everyone here at the hotel is going on an outing, or a vacation, you could say. And we were wondering if you could watch on-" She paused. "Watch on….what?" He asked curiously. "Oh— Watch on the…hotel! OJ is also coming with us, since Paper forced him to take a break. There isn't really anyone else to watch over this place so.."

"Why can't you just..lock up all the doors there or something?" It was weird for every single one of them to go on an outing. Except for him. "Uhhh.." It seemed like she was hiding something, but he didn't bother to ask. "Someone could just break in, you know? OJ would kill me if I don't ask someone to watch over his hotel."

Mephone sighed. It wasn't that big of a deal. He has nothing better to do, anyway. "Fine, whatever. Just this once." Atleast he would have an actual bed to sleep on. "Great! OJ is going to assign a room for you, with-" She paused, again. "..a nice..bed. Yeah! Thanks Mephone." Mephone cut the call and flopped his back on the sand. Guess he had to go all the way over there.

Mephone rowed the boat he generated across the sea. Though it was risky since he was an electronic device, there wasn't really any better way anyway. It's not like he could drive a car across the sea.

He arrived at the II 2 island and hopped off the boat. He walked around the area and saw the contestant grounds. It has been quite awhile since he's been in this place. He looked around the place and continued walking to the hotel.

Once he arrived, he knocked on the doors. Not long after, someone opened the door for him. It was Fan, with Test Tube just behind him. "Oh, Hi Mephone! We didn't know you would…come this early." He let out nervously. "Yeah, anything wrong with it?" He asked. "Oh, no, no--it's fine." He dropped a sweat. "So where's my room?" Fan looked at Test Tube, as she pointed out the room upstairs. "Oh right, follow me." 

He followed Fan as he closed the door behind them, and led him upstairs to the very first room to the side. "OJ told me you could be in Box's room for awhile. He doesn't keep anything in that room, so you could have space to keep your own things here.." He looked at Mephone. "Oh, you're not bringing anything?" He asked.

"Well, no? Obviously. I can just generate objects when I need them." He let out, sounding rude unintentionally. "Oh— yeah..But uh, I'll see you after a few days." He gave the key to his room. "Okay, bye." He waved at him.

He closed the door and flopped on the bed. He was really tired from getting all the way over here. Perhaps he could use a small nap, and eat later. He can't get hungry anyway.

…

He woke up with someone….humming? Why would there be someone else in his room? Wasn't literally everyone going on that outing, only him being in this hotel? He yawned and slowly turned around.

He immediately sat up from who he saw. Bow?! Why the hell would she be here? Out of all objects, why would she be in a room with him. "What are you doing here?!" He shouted, as she flinched to see him suddenly awake. "Uhh, chill. Yeah, so Test Tube told me you'll watch over me and.." He quickly slammed the door open as he heard familiar voices outside.
