no pov:
during a stand-up show
cheesy speaks.
"And then I said, that's not my mother! that's a Christmas tree!"
the crowd laughs
he hears something
his usual heckler yells
"Shut up!! Your dumb jokes suck!"
cheesy sighs into the mic and addresses trophy
"Listen trophy. If you don't like my stand-up comedy, leave. This is the third time this week."
trophy responds harshly
"Comedy? You really call this comedy? Your 'jokes' are pathetic and so are you!"
"..."
balloon knows somethings wrong when cheesy doesn't respond with one of his usual funny quips.
tears fill cheesy's eyes as he walks off stage
"You win trophy."
balloon gets up and runs after him
"Cheesy wait-!!"
balloon searches everywhere backstage, asking people if they saw where he went
after 10 minutes of searching, he hears muffled and quiet sniffles from inside of a broom closet
"Cheesy...? Dear? Is that you...?"
he opens the door
a curled up figure trembles in the dim light
balloon hugs said figure, wanting to comfort the flickering flame that he holds so dear
"Are you alright..?"
a familiar voice responds
"N-no....."
he cups the silhouette's round, freckled face
"I'm sorry about trophy. We all love your comedy, darling."
the shaking form hugs balloon
the figure turns on the light, revealing cheesy's tear stained face and overalls
"Thank y-you..."
"No problem, dear..."
balloon suddenly gets an idea
"Hey cheesy..."
"y-yeah...?"
"Why can you never trust an atom...?"
"What...? Why...?"
"Because they always make things up..."
cheesy giggles and cracks a smile
"s-shut up..."
"Feel better?"
"Yeah..."
YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
