Worlds Clash: Slaydie's

Press Start

POV: ZapNap

Oh, boy, it's time to begin, innit.

ZapNap's nerves were risin' as he was walkin' through the halls of the Fine Arts buildin' with CalumSparklez and AshTDM to get everyone's instruments for the performance that was in less than an hour. LukeNotFound, Dream Styles, and BadBoyHiall remained backstage to set up. Mack and Ratantouis were in the cafeteria tryin' to turn him back into Antouis before the performance. Michael, as previously mentioned, was at the hospital tryin' not to die from his many severe injuries.

"Lads, you think we can pull this off?" ZapNap inquired, breakin' the nervous silence. Well, it was silent other than the faint echo of Plankton singin' his new hit single, "Diamonds," onstage for Fine Arts Day. One Direction was up next, then 5 Seconds of Summer.

"At this point, we've gone through so much that we have to," CalumSparklez said. "If JIIIIIMjokin returns after all this... I don't know what I'd—"

"I'd kill myself," AshTDM interrupted, stunnin' Zayn and Calum into silence.

"You okay, mate?" Calum asked, taken aback.

"No, yeah, I'm just saying what Michael would have said," AshTDM responded, his voice breakin'. "He always had the darkest jokes..." The three lads stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"Hey, Michael's going to be aurkay, Ash," CalumSparklez comforted his bandmate, pattin' AshTDM on the shoulder.

"Yeah, we were worried that you wouldn't make it when you were stabbed by Conrad," ZapNap pointed out. "But, 'ay, you're safe and alive. Michael will be, too."

"Thanks, lads," AshTDM said with a gracious smirk. He turned to the door next to them, sayin', "The instruments are in here."

They opened the door, and ZapNap didn't expect to see what he saw. Sure, everyone's instruments were in a cart in the back corner of the room, but he also saw Dr. Trayaurus burning a rainbow flag in the center of the room.

"In here," AshTDM told Zayn and Calum before noticin' his villager assistant. "So, um— DR. TRAYAURUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He yelled in anger, running over to Trayaurus. "WHA— I TOLD YOU NOT TO BE HOMOPHOBIC TODAY! DR. TRAYAURUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AshTDM was so infuriated and embarrassed that he began to repeat himself.

"HEUUUHHHHHH..." Dr. Trayaurus replied, glarin' at AshTDM and showing him a photo of Dream Styles and LukeNotFound holdin' hands that Trayaurus had taken earlier before AP Music Theory. It was now crossed out with red ink. Trayaurus ripped up the photo into mini pieces and gestured his head to the still-burning pride flag. "HEUUUHHHHHH..." AshTDM covered his mouth in shock. ZapNap raised an orbbrow and looked at CalumSparklez, concerned and unable to translate.

"Um... what did he say, Ash?" Calum inquired, worried for the answer.

"I can't repeat it," AshTDM answered, stunned, his mouth still covered. Why did AshTDM have Trayaurus as his assistant if he disagreed with Trayaurus' opinions so much and he attacked AshTDM's gay friends so frequently? The answer was simple: Dr. Trayaurus needed a job and a place to stay at AshTDM's lab, and AshTDM lived in constant fear. That's why Trayaurus usually remained in Minecraft on AshTDM's phone far away from him and his friends, but he had released Trayaurus to help MackPat with the science side of Joopopopopopopoop's return. What a mistake that was. Trayaurus turned back to his work and began to douse the flag with more kerosene.

"No, no," AshTDM scolded, grabbin' a fire extinguisher. "We can't burn the gay flag. Dr. Trayaurus! Nawo..." AshTDM began to spray the fire and put it out. ZapNap watched in dumbfounded silence.
