ALTERNATE INSANITY [II AU]

[2] Reboot

"Are you done yet..?"

"SHUSH! OJ, rebooting AND repairing takes time." ,exclaimed Test Tube.

Test Tube examined MePhone for a little bit, as his screen was just pitch black with a huge crack of the right side of his screen. "Hmm.." ,hummed Test Tube under her breath.

She got up and walked over to one of her shelfs with new experiments she hasn't tested yet. She looked around, trying to find a specific bottle of liquid. OJ sat down in a small wooden chair in the back of Test Tube's lab. He sweated nervously and tapped his foot in impatience. His hands were on his legs and he glanced at Test Tube looking at the shelf.

After just around..30 seconds, she found the substance she wanted. It was bright teal, and it bubbled slightly. On the front of the bottle, it seemed if Test Tube named it "SCRAPPED MEDICINE", in a really sloppy font, she probably let Fan write it.

Test Tube held the bottle, making sure it was the correct one. "..Whatever.." ,Test Tube whispered. She opened up the bottle and walked to MePhone. Test Tube set the bottle on the table as she turned to OJ.

"Look, I have other important things to do. I'm gonna try to power him on and I will then leave. If he wakes up, give him that bottle on the table." Test Tube pointed at the bottle that she had left on the counter.

OJ stared at her for a moment. He closed his eyes. "Yeah- uh- Okay." ,OJ opened his eyes again. Test Tube gave him a stern look and put her hands on her hips. "Good."

She eventually left the room after trying to power on MePhone, leaving him and OJ alone. OJ slumped in his chair and sighed, looking at MePhone with a tired expression.

"..What am I gonna do..?" ,whispered OJ.

After a few minutes of absolute SILENCE, OJ heard a button turn on. It got his attention and OJ looked at MePhone in surprise. He got up from the chair and slowly starting to walk closer to it.

The Meeple logo appeared infront of OJ'S eyes. He went closer and looked quite relaxed. Soon, MePhone's iconic usual blue screen...well..besides the huge crack on the right side of his screen.

MePhone looked at OJ, wondering what just happened.

"Uh- Hey..?" ,said MePhone, nervously. OJ sighed in relief as he hugged MePhone. "OH! Thank goodness you're here." OJ smiled, while MePhone looked confused. "What..just happened?"

OJ stopped hugging MePhone and looked at him. "I'll explain on the way." He held MePhone's hand and start sprinting back to Hotel OJ.

The bottle of teal liquid crashed and spilled on the floor, when OJ and MePhone ran out of Test Tube's lab. But nobody noticed.

They both eventually arrived at Hotel OJ, opening the front door. "Ohh..so that happened." ,said MePhone, now realizing what had happened earlier. OJ opened the front door, letting MePhone walk in first. Just as MePhone took a step inside, everyone stared at him.

"..MePhone?" ,said Knife. He shook his head.

"Wait- I thought you-"

"..I'm okay."

He smiled, continuing to walk in now. OJ walked in too after MePhone. MePhone waved to everyone, except Test Tube. As both of them would start heading to MePhone's room, they would come across Test Tube with Fan. She would notice and glance at OJ and MePhone, stopping her activity.

"Fan, I uh- Gotta..go." ,She grinned nervously. Fan looked at her with a smile. "Oh. OKAY BYE!"

As Test Tube turned to OJ and MePhone, Fan walked away. 

"So, it worked?"

,said Test Tube with a smile. OJ smiled too. "Yep." He sighed. "It worked." ,Test Tube would think for a moment. "..Did you..uhh..give him the bottle?"

"..."

OJ froze. He stood there, remembering he was supposed to feed MePhone the substance she had left on the table.

He chuckled nervously. "Yeah-! Mhm..did it.." ,MePhone gave him a suspicious look.

"Good. I'll see you two later then." ,Test Tube walked off.

OJ watched Test Tube leave, then turning to MePhone. "..Ignore that..but let's get you to your room!"

MePhone was dragged by OJ's hand, as they both sprinted to MePhone's room.

When they both arrived, OJ let go of his hand and opened his door, panting. "Okay- just- huh- Get- IN!" MePhone paused at looked at OJ, but went in.

"..Are you coming?"

"NO-! I mean- No, I'm- I'm okay..!" ,said OJ, still panting.

MePhone gave him another suspicious look, but shruged it off. 

"Okay, bye."

He shut the door, letting OJ walk off.
