"Hey, do you think Book is okay? She hasn't invited us to her house in a while."

"Well, I dunno. But I did hear about the incident. Maybe she's recovering from it?"

"Which one?"

"You know, the one with Ice Cube?"

"Which one?"

"She was found with bandages covering her eyes and the side of her head. Basketball said she'd just found her like that."

"Wowzers. That's gorey. But let's hope she'll be okay in a jiffy..!"

"Yeah, we have to keep our heads up high!"

"Bomb bro, I don't know if that's the saying, but It'll work just fine for me!"

The two friends walked into the park. The currency had just woken up from a nap, while the explosive was just strolling around the lush grass. They knew about what happened to Ice Cube, and they were cautious.

Nickel looked for rocks to fiddle with every few minutes, while Bomby twirled flowers he picked from bushes. Since Ice Cube was at home recovering, they wanted to make it to her house to check on her and give her things.

The route to her house was along the park, hence the two walking. Nickel held a basket of goodies on his head while Bomby held a "Get well soon" letter.

"Oh, Icy's house!" Nickel beamed. It looked bigger than they thought, but also pretty cozy. Bomby looked at Nickel while the currency stared at the building in awe.

The two knocked on the door and waited for a response.

A few minutes later, they knocked again. Nickel then kicked the door with his foot, and it opened.

"Oh my money factory, I feel so dumb. Was it unlocked the whole time?" Nickel uttered. Bomby shurgged and stepped in the house. Nickel went upstairs while Bomby stayed downstairs.

Bomby went to the kitchen and saw a bowl and some tomatoes and lettuce. He also eyed a chair that was seemingly sat on. He began to look at the chopping board. It had several dents in it.

The explosive looked at the array of knives and cleavers for cooking, but one of them was gone. "Uh.." He blurted.

Nickel arrived upstairs and saw Basketball and Grassy. He went in the room they were in, and he was met with a horrific sight.

Blood. Splatters and puddles of blood scattered across the room. Some dried, some fresh. A row of leftover bandages. Terror.

"What the scallop..?"

"Oh! Nickel! I uh.. I see you have a gift."

"Yeah. I have a basket of goodies for Icy here."

"Wha? Me?"

"Yessiree!"

"I got some things like cookies!"

"Oh.. yay..!" Ice Cube said in a sarcastic tone. Book always made cookies for Ice Cube. She'd always finish them in a snap. Just the brief mention of cookies made her tear up.

A small wet circle appeared on Ice Cube's eye bandage as she remembered the taste of cookies.

"Hey, you alright?" Basketball asked. The frozen cube shakily nodded as Nickel gave her a cookie..

"Thanks.."

Lollipop was sitting on a bench talking to Gelatin. "So, how's the weather?" Lollipop asked. "Well, it's sorta sunny. But I'm allergic to basic conversation starters.." Gelatin said as he fake gagged. He then chuckled after as Lollipop looked at him in confusion.
