A Business Plan // TPOT AU

BAM! And it exploded!

"Two, Whats going on with that recovery center?" Bomby yelled.

"Look Bomby," Two wiped the green sweat off his face and came out of under the recovery center, which was propped up onto two planks of wood, so that two could get under and open the bottom, which seemed to be sending sparks and smoke, "I've been trying to fix it for hours, but I can't seem to locate exactly where the problem is coming from!" He exclaimed.

"Oh? What happens if you try to recover someone?" Bomby asked curiously.

"Well, you came here for-"

"Naily."

"Okay!" He said, typing the name of the deceased friend naily. After typing it, Naily plopped down from the recovery center, but it could be immediately told that something was off, Nailys body was all mangled, she had a few eyes and many arms and legs and she glitched trying to move, and POP! She disappeared...

"Oh that's really bad..." Bomby mumbled, "Let me try and help with that!"

Bomby then went under the recovery center, propping himself right under so that he could see the interior, and wow it was shocking. There were many wires and bright lights working inside of the machine, making it look like if it were a 80's mall, finished off with neon lights and a bright interior. Though, most of the scenery was covered in smoke and some kind of thick paste, which looked to be oil with the texture of glue and tar. Not only that, but there were some sparks shooting out of the interior, one which got onto the fuse of bombys string, igniting it. In a sheer panick, he tried sitting up to attempt to position himself in a way to put the fire out, but instead bashed his head on the bottom of the recovery center, setting most of the interior of said recovery center on fire. The more he panicked, the quicker his fuse went out.

"Uhm, Bomby, a-are you alright?" Asked Two.

"N- AGHH!"

There was a scream, followed by an explosion which knocked two away from the now destroyed recovery center. Bits of glass and metal flew in all directions, and the explosion could be seen from a 100 mile radious. This, of course, caught the attention of many others, especially since Two was there on the floor, limp.

"Two!? Two!" Someone yelled.

"I-is he alright?" Asked another.

"Check his pulse!" They said, terrified.

"Aw fuck fuck fuck"

Gaty, Needle, Pin, and Coiny all found Two lying on the ground limp, and they were all panicked, of course he wasn't dead, right? Those aliens were near impossible to kill! Curious, Coiny poked Twos body with a stick, seeing if it would move.

"Coiny, stop!"

"Well, he's dead, isnt he?"

"Well, they're probably not dead and they would probably appriciate if we instead tried and HELP them instead of poke their body with a stick!" Gaty exclaimed.

"Whats that on his body?" Needle asked.

"I.. don't know"

As Pin and Needle lifted him up, Coiny and Gaty slowly and carefully removed the glass from Twos body. There was a shit ton of it, and if not removed carefully, could cause an infection. (Or not, but its better safe than sorry). After all of it was removed, Two was carefully placed against a tree where Gaty kept an eye on him. The others had already left to continue on with their day, but Gaty wasn't going to leave Twos side until she knew they were okay.

The next morning, Gaty caught herself sleeping alone next to the tree, a blanket placed on top of her. She looked up and saw Two looking down at her with a smile.

"W-what? You're okay!?"

"Of course I'm okay Gaty! And you?"

"Oh I'm fine... what,, happened to you yesterday?"

"Oh well I guess I'm going to have to explain that to everyone today, come on!"

Two helped Gaty up from where she was and took her to the stage that was made by The S a while back. Gaty hadn't told Two that she was the one who had helped them, but, she didn't feel the need to. As Two got set up for the assembly he was preparing, he asked Gaty to inform the others about said assembly.

"Alright," She sighed, walking towards the group of Basketball, Golfball, Tennisball, and Puffball who were all arguing about shapes again, "Hey! You four, Two said that they were going to have some meeting in a few so, if you don't mind, can you inform the others?"

They fortunately all agreed to let the others know about the so called assembly that Two was having, and even made it a competition to see which pair of balls could tell the most people about Twos meeting. The two formed their pairs, and Golfball teamed up with Puffball, rejecting the offer of Tennis ball as she thought Puffball was a better ally when it came to competition. Tennis Ball however, wasn't really too fazed, as at least he would be able to talk to Basketball. He always enjoyed talking to Basketball. He could never replace Golfball with Basketball however, but, she was a nice person.

Golfball rode on Puffball to find people to talk to and inform them of the meeting. Basketball, on the other hand decided to instead grab a large crowd of people to advice the others that Two needs them. "Guys!" Basketball yelled, "Everyone get here now!" She asserted. After she said that, a majority of the TPOT contestants walked towards her. Her yelling had gotten the attention of most. While she spoke, Tennisball watched her in awe, impressed that she was able to be assertive, to get people to do what she wanted. The two of them informed the contestants about Twos meeting, and lead them there, in front of the stage built by "The S", where many cheap metal seats were placed in front of. Most sat down and Tennis Ball sat down right next to Basketball, who was sitting next to Grassy. Assertive and good with kids? Tennis ball thought to himself. She was a nice friend.

Golfball was still rounding up the other contestants, which seemed to be... only two other people. Basketball had gotten the majority. Maybe she will this time accept her defeat, she thought while walking to her seat next to Tennis ball in the front row. Finally, all we present at the extremely anticipated meeting Two wanted, including those who were eliminated in the past.

"Alright! Is that everybody?" Two yelled.

"Yea, that's everyone!" Golfball and Basketball replied in sync, immediately glaring at each other after.

"Alright then. Today I have an important announcement for all. As some may have already heard, the recovery center is broken, and cannot be fixed anytime soon as there was... an explosion..."

The crowd was filled with panic and fear as those words escaped Twos lips.

"But wait! Can't you just... buy a new recovery center?" Pin asked confidently.

"Great Point," Two interrupted, "But the problem is, there is no way that I can afford another recovery center. That reason being is,, you know, inflation and all that crazy shit. So that is where you guys come into play! I need all of you to make money for a new recovery center! Whichever team makes the most money wins! Go!"

"Woah woah woah there bud!," Coiny yelled before anyone could move, "We need a little more context here. And frankly, I don't think it is the time to turn this situation into a contest. There are people who are already dead and stuff and-"

"Okay okay!", Two cut him off, "This wont be a challenge, but it is recommended to build a business plan with a group! You need to make business decisions and get it out there to the whole world to raise at least," He took a peak at his phone, confirming the price for a recovery center, "Two Million Dollars. At least."
