(Holy fuck no warnings this time)

As soon as Red got out of the house, she immediately felt better. Lighter, in a way.

"Shit."  She groaned, realizing how she had spoken to Chosen.

Now they knew the secret anyway, and she had talked shit to Chosen.

"Why the fuck did I do that?" Red said out loud, now standing in front of the door contemplating whether to go back in and apologize.

'No, no it would cause more drama.' She thought.

The sun was starting to set so she went to sit down on the grass. It would take her mind of things, it always did. A while later, just as the sun had gone behind the trees, Red felt someone walk up behind her. On impulse, she whipped around and pinned the unknown person to the ground.

"Red, it's me, calm down!"

TSC.

Red's eyes widened in horror as she realized who it was, guilt creeping over her.

"I-I'm so sorry." She stuttered, scrambling off TSC and looking down at her hands.

"It's okay, it was my fault for startling you." SC said, taking her hands.

"No it-it's not! I..."

Red's voice trailed off to stop her voice breaking mid-sentence, and she stared back at the crimson sky. After a few minutes of silence, SC finally came over to Red and held out his hand. Red tilted her head in question.

"C'mon, I wanna take you somewhere." He said gently.

Red hesitated but took his hand, letting him lead her through the forest and to...

"A nether portal?" Red said as they came to the glowing, mystical thing.

"Yep."

"Sec, Chosen said that we're not allowed to leave the PC."

"So? Chosen can't control everywhere we go." TSC replied casually, walking backwards through the portal and smiling.

Red rolled her eyes and followed after him. When she opened her eyes, her jaw dropped. It was...a lush cave.

"Is this?..." She said, her voice wavering again as she looked at her surroundings and then at TSC.

"The lush cave that we had a huge fight in? Yeah...this is it." TSC  said, sounding just as breathless as Red.

Red couldn't help but run at TSC and envelop him in a tight hug, memories rushing through her.

"Come on!" TSC said, grabbing her hand again and running down the wooden planks, laughing as the fireflies rushed around and the gentle wind whirled.

Red laughed with him as they ran, feeling...free, for the first time in a long while.

"Oh wow!..." TSC marveled when they finally came to a stop and looked around.

Red chuckled softly and found herself getting lost in SC's emerald eyes, the rest of her surroundings morphing into one colorful blur. TSC caught Red's gaze and grinned, cupping her face and kissing her forehead. She blinked and regained focus, smiling up at him.

Red gasped, "Oh my god, I know where we are! We're where we actually stopped fighting!"

"Holy shit yeah..." SC replied, sitting down on the familiar suspended boards.

Red followed suit and sat down beside him, looking out at the vast caves. A couple of seconds passed and Red felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw TSC with a glow berry in hand. They both grinned at the sight of it and Red jokingly said, "Well I appreciate the offer Mr. Hollow Head but I'm not that hungry this time."
