They the Wubbox : Rewritten

[Chapter 20.5]

Currently it had been three days since Wubbox had left wublin island, and something was off.

He hadn't texted in three days, but he implied the meeting would not be long. Could something have happened, and he was unable to use his phone? Was he kidnapped? Killed? Imprisoned? Rooloo had tried to text him, but the messages were not being read, and he didn't know who else to contact in case of emergency.

Everyone had gotten worried, and nobody knew what to do. They could leave the island to faerie island and see if they could find him, but nobody had the courage to do so, in thought that something bad was happening there.
"What if they don't come back? What if we never see them again?!" Scargo started to panic.

"Now, they wouldn't just up and leave us like that! T-There has to be another reason. Maybe Dad just lost his phone?" Maulch tried to reason.

"But if he did, he could ask someone else to use their phone and tell us!" Dermit told them.

"Everyone, we just need to calm down! All this panicking is going to kill us!" Screemu called out, Petite still in it's arms.

"But then why hasn't he made an attempt to contact us? Ergo, dead!" Tympa shouted.

"Stop being so pessimistic, Tympa!" Zuuker yelled to him.

As the group continued to argue, Powek, Brump, Zynth, Dwumrohl, and Blipsqueak sat by the building's entrace quietly, treating this as a normal occasion they shouldn't worry about.
Wubbox had been gone for near weeks at a time, but only now the others were panicking about it.

Poewk, Brump, Zynth, Thwok, and Dwumrohl were used to him being gone for a while at a time, so they knew it was just a regular miscommunication about the situation.

Dwumrohl was getting fed up with how loud they were being though, then he finally broke.
"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!" He yelled to them.

"You all are overreacting! He's been gone for days at a time in the past, so this should be nothing unusual!" Blipsqueak told them.

"Just give them another few days. If they're gone for a long while, then you can start to freak out. Just let it be." Brump added.

Despite their reassurance, they went right back to fighting. Dwumrohl held his tongue however, and walked back into the building beside them, then Blipsqueak following behind him.
Brump sighed, and Poewk stretched out his limbs to lay down like a critter.

They wouldn't start to stop arguing and discussing until further into the night.

"Yes..?"

"Sorry, just a question, but when is the ship supposed to arrive? And how long have we been in here anyways? It feels like years!"

"It will arrive shortly, and we've been in here for two days."

"Ugh.. I think i'm gonna pass out from boredom."

"Calm yourselves, you will not be bored much longer. We have a job to do."
