The day started as any other for Karen. She dealt with her kids, sent them to school, quickly got washed, and ready for work, deal with annoying people.

Today seemed different for Karen. It seemed peaceful, no Mario to annoy her, no literal Karen's, no messes to clean.

She felt happy with this. It meant she could just sit back and relax, of course with the occasional customer, a few stood out, but a particular group stood out

"Oh morning, you 3" she spoke with a smile on her face as she looked at Saiko, Kaizo, and whimpu, "What can I get you 3 today?"

"Morning Karen, can we get 3 chicken buckets for fatass, a chicken zinger for whimpu, and boneless bucket for me please" kaizo smiled back at her as he spoke, the comment of fatass earned him a punch in the arm from Saiko

"Alright, your total will be...28 39. Will you be paying cash or a card?" Karen questioned, already knowing the answer. "Cash." Kaizo reached for his back pocket to get his wallet to panick when he realised he'd left his wallet next to his bed.

"Shit, I didn't bring my wallet," kaizo exclaimed with a sigh, "Oh, don't worry, I brought mine," Whimpu said happily, reaching for his wallet, accidentally dropping it "whoops."

None of the 3 knew what they were staring at. The sight before them looked like a scene from a horror movie. Whimpu had quite literally become rubber and had twisted his hips a whole 180 just to pick his wallet up.

Whimpu looked at them all, "do I have something on my face?" He questioned as he patted his face. Everyone was staring grossed out, "Uhh no- anyway hurry up and pay, I'm hungry!" Saiko hit whimpu on the back, causing him to go forward a bit.

Whimpu caught himself and stood up straight, "Right!" He pulled the money out his wallet and handed it to Karen. They all seemed to forget about whimpu and his weird flexibility, everyone but kaizo.

That scene played in his mind all day. He masked it with cockiness and a forced jollity, but he couldn't shake the feeling.

If he is that flexible, what else could he do?

Kaizo went to sleep that day. That same question replayed as he drifted off to sleep.

The next day, kaizo woke up to 40 missed calls from saiko alone, 3 from whimpu, and he called back only to get screamed at.

"Where are you?! Come on! I want breakfast, KFC!!" She screamed over the phone, causing kaizo to hold the phone away from his ear, "alright, alright...give me like 10, 20 minutes I'll be there" he hung up and sighed, just another day.

Kaizo started getting ready to go out for breakfast, showering and making sure he grabbed his wallet before leaving.

As he made his way to kfc, he couldn't shake the feeling someone was, something, was staring at him. He shook his head and continued on. "It's funny how your mind can play tricks, "he thought as he continued on his path.

He looked around at the dead streets, which confused him. Usually, these streets were bursting with people, but it seemed so empty.

Maybe there was a new sale somewhere, and everyone was dying to buy whatever junk they were selling.

Kaizo, upon reaching KFC, looked around for his 2 friends. It felt weird not seeing them standing right outside. He0 checked his phone in case they decided to order without him and were somewhere else but nothing, no text. "Strange... maybe they're inside?" He looked up and into the building, squinting his eyes, but he didn't see anyone.

He phoned Saiko again, but it went straight to voicemail. What on earth was happening?, he called whimpu, it rung 4 times before finally "hello?" His voice sounded a but distorted, maybe he had bad service, "where are you guys?" Kaizo questioned."I don't see you guys at kfc."

He heard a bit of muffling on the other end before the line went dead, okay now this is getting strange, they aren't at kfc and apparently have bad service, he looked at his phone before it just died, didn't he charge it? I mean, moments ago, it was full charge.

"Fucking iphones" he hissed, stuffing the phone in his pocket and entering the kfc.

Kaizo looked around, searching for his two friends. He didn't see anyone, not even Karen, maybe it's a holiday? But why would they leave the door open? Maybe she's in the back doing stuff? Yeah, that was probably it.

He went and sat in a booth, waiting for signs of people, but nobody showed up. He rested his head on the table, "Maybe I'm overthinking things," he said to himself,

Maybe if he kept his head up, he'd see his friend enter, kaizo was too busy in his own little Fantasy to see that whimpu was now towering over him.

Kaizos little Fantasy was interrupted by a tapping on his shoulder, the tapping caused him to look up, he stared up at whimpu but, he didn't feel happy to see the nerd. No, he felt dread.

Whimpu wasn't whimpu anymore. His limbs had been stretched, his torso and stomach almost in a knot as he stared down at kaizo, Kaizo tried searching his eyes yet, couldn't find anything, not even his eyes.

Whimpu grabbed him by the horn and pulled him up, kaizo was now panicking. He kicked whimpu as hard as he could, but

nothing.

It was like whimpu was a super human, whimpu threw kaizo against a wall, throwing him like he was a rag doll.

Kaizo hissed in pain but was quick on his feet again. He didn't know what to do in this situation, so he just ran, he ran like his life depended on it, because it did.

Whimpu was quick behind him tho, tho a chase was happening, it felt as tho they weren't moving, kaizo was fearing the worst when he felt whimpu grab his ankle.

Kaizo stared at his elongated friend with terror. whimpu, on the other hand, stared at him with

Nothing.

He was emotionless.

He was emotionless as he held kaizo by his head and ankles.

He was emotionless when he started to pull him, almost trying to stretch him.

He was emotionless even when kaizo started screaming in pain.

Kaizo woke up with a scream. He looked around in a cold sweat. He was panting and sighed, "it was just a nightmare.." he laid back on his pillow, covering his face with his arm.

The next day wasn't anything special, well not for saiko anyway.

For whimpu, tho, kaizo was treating him like he was royalty. He was doing anything for him, which confused whimpu, but he didn't mind. He was just happy his friend was being nicer.

Kaizo, however, was scared to get on whimpus bad side, for all he knew, whimpu could become that elongated monster and stretched and bend him whatever which way he wanted. So, to make sure he wouldn't be a victim to this possible demon, he would do small things.

He'd get whimpu another drink, make sure whimpu didn't step in dog shit, kill any wasps that got to close and even picking up anything whimpu dropped.

Which whimpu didn't mind but could do most of those things alone, yet he didn't really tell kaizo that it was okay and that he got it. He just let Kaizo do it in fear of upsetting him.

Though he was concerned about what had gotten into his friend.
