ALTERNATE INSANITY [II AU]

[1] Cracked

MePhone4 stood on the roof of Hotel OJ, looking at the shimmering bright stars with a tired expression. He was exhausted, and he didn't have the exact motivation to continue season 2 of Inanimate Insanity as he used to have. He always tried to tell himself, "It will never end." But maybe this time, it will end. He just needs a small break from all of the memories and the whole show itself. Being a host is hard.

He thought some more and continued to look up. The sound of footsteps could be behind him, as MePhone heard the sound of OJ's voice.

"..MePhone? You okay?"

OJ sounded wimpy and nervous, like he was trying to comfort or make MePhone feel better of somesort. MePhone paused for a moment and turned to OJ. "Yeah..i'm fine."

OJ stepped closer to MePhone, eventually standing next to him with a soft smile. MePhone just looked...tired. "You sure?" ,OJ looked more concerned for MePhone. MePhone smiled weakly.

"Sorry, i'm just-"

"-Tired?" ,OJ interupted.

MePhone glanced at OJ. "..Yeah."

They both stood in silence for a bit, looking at the stars together. MePhone looked more relaxed now, and so did OJ. Both of them need a break, MePhone as a host and OJ as a manager for an entire hotel, both jobs are hard. Very. HARD.

MePhone's face started to look more upset and exhausted, and OJ noticed. "Hey..are you okay?" ,said OJ, now concerned again. MePhone just stayed silent and stared at OJ blankly.

OJ silently waited for MePhone's response.

MEPHONE4'S POV--

"Why can't I respond?! WHY CAN'T I RESPOND! I do have something to say, I promise! Do I REALLY just have to stare so blankly at him like that? Everything is just so blurry and- Woah..is OJ doubling or am I thinking wrong? Wait- I- I feel like i'm gonna faint! Okay MePhone..uh..just- uh- STAY CALM! Think about something you enjoy..like- like- uhh..mmm..I- OH! COOKIES! Yeah- uhm- I guess i'll think about cookies..I- I guess so..yeah..mhm..this is fine. This is fine. This is fine. This is fine. This is fine. I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE! WHATS GOING ON?! This is definitely not normal- I-"

OJ'S POV--

"I wonder why he won't respond. Did I say something wrong? What did I say? Oh no- What if he's thinking- What if- WHAT IF I HURT HIS FEELINGS?! Oh no, no NO! What could he be thinking? Is he processing? Is he gonna malfunction? Did I overload his system with all of my stupid nervous rambling and checking up on him? AH! IM SUCH A BAD FRIEND! Well- He did put us in weird challenges- BUT STILL! I'm such a TERRIBLE FRIEND AND WINNER!! I can't believe this!"

OJ stayed patient. After a few minutes of the VERY awkward silence, MePhone tips over, and falls off the roof. OJ looked shocked. VERY SHOCKED. "AH!"

He quickly went down to the main lobby of Hotel OJ, screaming out the words, "MEPHONE FELL OF THE ROOF!" Everyone looked at him, some annoyed, some neutral, some shocked. OJ soon flushed with embarrassment, as he stood silent.

"GUYS," ,Baseball stood tall and proud. ",Don't you know MePhone needs HELP?"

OJ soon looked at him with a very, awkward, grin. "Yeah- Uh..Come- COME ON GUYS!"

As Baseball followed OJ out of the door with everyone else following behind them, they would find MePhone4, cracked on the floor. Nickel squeezed and pushed through Baseball and Oj, "Hey- What's going o-"

Nickel soon looked terrified. So did Baseball. Everyone went silent for a moment, besides the the notice of OJ's language currently.

"..Uh..OJ?", whispered Paper, concerned.

OJ stared at MePhone's body on the ground, as his breathing pattern started to get out of order. He looked traumatized, incredibly scared, and of course shocked. Tears started to swell up in his eyes. Paper soon noticed.

"Okay- uh.. PEOPLE GET BACK INSIDE!" ,said Paper, as loud as he can.

Paintbrush groaned and started to walk back inside with Lightbulb. "So..ANNOYING!!!" ,said Paintbrush, their bristles sparking a bit. Lightbulb just skipped happily. "What's wrong, Painty?" Lightbulb giggled and smirked at Painty. "Oh- nothing- It's just- THAT STUPID DAMN HOST!" Paintbrush spoke more aggressively and their bristles caught on fire.

Test Tube noticed this, and came up to Paintbrush.

"Look. Don't be mad. MePhone brought us together, remember?" ,said Test Tube with a smile.

"YEAH! MePhone may have brought us through weird challenges and difficult situations, but we should still appreciate him!" ,Fan jumped into the conversation, smiling.

Paintbrush stopped walking for a moment, and thought about this. Their bristles slowly stopped sparking, as it went back to normal. Paintbrush's face relaxed as they smiled.

"Huh. Never thought about it like that."

Painty glanced at MePhone for a moment, then continued walking with Fan, Lightbulb, and Test Tube with a happy expression.

OJ fell on his knees with a blank expression. Paper kneeled down next to him. "O-OJ..?" ,Paper said nervously. OJ quickly started crying on Paper's arm. Paper was slightly surprised at first, but let OJ cry. He had some wet spots near his arm, but he didn't mind.

"It's okay."
