Dear Rocket,

That was a great session! Although I was monitoring Boombox and he was.. acting.. odd, and complaining about lightheadedness and dizziness. I'm worried about him. But I'm sure its only a cold, right?

Love, Slingy

Dear Rocket,

I'm feeling od.The world is spining!I'mso dizzy for somereason.Sorry if thereisanytypos. Just, it feelslike the world is spinning!

Love,Boombox.

To Boombox,

Hey hope you're feeling alright. Though if the world really is spinning around then its probably some dizziness effect. Go get some rest alright? It won't cure on its own.

Love, Rocket

Dear Rocket and Skateboard,

Writing this from the hospital, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner, but Boombox has seemingly gone unconscious. I told you he was acting odd, and I don't think its a cold anymore.. I hope he wakes up soon. He still has a heartbeat, but he wont open his " eyes " .

Love, Slingshot.

"Hey, who's there?"

"Your worst nightmare."

"How though? You seem nice!"

"..."

"Can I name you, lets see, oh I know! I want to call you Punk! You remind me of that song genre!"

"..I don't have time for silly games like this"

"Aw man, you're no fun. Do you at least know where I am?

"Stuck. In. Sleep."

"What do you mean? I don't think I can be stuck in something like sleep"

"What I mean is, that you're in a coma.."

"What's a coma? Can I at least still think of buff gay men?"

"A coma is when you're stuck in sleep for a very long period of time- What did you say!?!?"

"So, I can still dream? I don't think I can see things while I'm supposed to be asleep, oh look there's crayons!"

Boombox grabs the box of crayons, and pulls out a black, green, and red crayon. He looked around a bit, then went over to the wall and started drawing.

"..What are you doing. Why aren't you scared? You're supposed to be afraid of being trapped in a dream!"

"Why should I be? It's better to be optimistic than be afraid of everything."

Boombox went back to focus on whatever he was doing with those crayons. Then he looked back to Punk, and pulled on their arm.

"Look! I made something for us!"

Boombox then dragged Punk with him to the wall he was drawing on. It was an image of Boombox and Punk with text above them saying "Friends!".

"You like it?"

"..Yes, yes I do enjoy looking at this artwork you've made."

"Yay! Wanna draw with me?"

-

The two playgrounders finally reached their destination at the hospital where they saw Slingshot in the waiting room. Slingshot noticed the two walking in and walked up to them.

"Woah, you guys came really early this time. This is like the earliest I've ever seen you guys come."

"Well this is one of our friends we're talking about so," Skateboard replied. "Is he okay?"

"Well, like I said in the letter, he's doing alright. His heart is still beating, he just won't open his 'eyes'."

"So, when can we see him?" Rocket asked.

"They should be able to let us in soon. I'm just really scared about Boombox, he hasn't been this sick before.." Slingshot had a look of fear on his eyes as he knew this wasn't natural.

-

Soon enough, they were allowed into the room where they saw a lifeless Boombox on the hospital bed. His heart was still beating on the heart monitor, but his 'eyes' were just a black void. The doctors said that they detected poison in his system and are unsure what kind it was.

"Oh god, how didn't we notice this sooner." Skateboard had a look of fear in his eyes as he stared at Boombox.

Rocket stared at Boombox in horror. He was speechless. He only thought it was just Boombox not having enough sleep, but poison? That was too much for him to handle. He noticed Slingshot crying a few tears which made him cry too. He didn't feel very sad, so he was confused why he started crying.

-

When they left the hospital, Slingshot decided to head back to his house while he left Skateboard and Rocket to head back to their own place.

"Hey Skateboard? Yknow, it's pretty weird for Boombox to be this sick, don't you think?" Rocket turned his head to the left and saw that Skateboard wasn't there anymore. He just brushed it off thinking that Skateboard had already left.

Skateboard screamed out to Rocket, but wasn't heard due to being muffled by someone. His cries were useless since Rocket was already out of the hearing range. He tried fighting back, but felt some sort of effect taking place inside his body. He soon couldn't resist the urge to rest, and was shoved into the back of a car.

"Let's see how long they can last without both of their other faction members." The person scoffed as they finished their sentence, and drove off.
