Falling With You

Chapter 8- A Deal Is Made

Well, I surely wasn't expecting all of the emotion coming from Smg4..but it was PERFECT!!! Oh his agonizing screams and tears, the way he pathetically continues to call out for Smg3... The ratings are high my dear viewers..I can't thank you enough for the WONDERFUL ideas!!

...................

What? WHAT!? Not the ending you wanted?! WELL- Now I'm just offended! It was PERFECT!!  What more do you want?! A happy ending where everyone holds hands and sings Kumbaya?!

...................

Oh. That is what you want. Hm... Well, I'm certainly not rewinding again..But..Maybe I'll ask Smg4 what HE wants~ I'll be right back dear viewers...

~Jumping Forward~

It had been over 3 months since the tragic day of Smg3's death, and Smg4 hasn't gotten any better. He spent too much time researching for places him and his friends could build a new castle at so they wouldn't continue to disturb Karen and Luigi's homes anymore.

There hasn't been much success, and with his PTSD and depression, Smg4 only felt worse and more stressed than ever. He hadn't felt that way since the Perfect Video incident. To this day he avoids anything that could remind him of what happened in the pit, and what happened to his dear friend Smg3...

The others were trying their best to give Smg4 all the love and support he needed, but it wasn't enough. Some days Smg4 couldn't force himself to get out of bed. Other days he would refuse to eat or drink water to instead focus on research.

Tari had suggested a therapist, but that word alone only made Smg4 be reminded of his counterpart, as he was a therapist in his free time. Besides, Smg4 couldn't bring himself to talk to anyone about his problems. He already felt like a burden to the others for being the reason their one and only home was destroyed, and for two members of the crew to die. Smg4 will never forgive himself. He doesn't understand why his friends still associate with him after everything. He missed his life. He missed his home. 

He missed Smg3.

----------------------------

Once again, Smg4 was laying on Mario's couch for the night. Mario and Meggy decided to sleep on the floor next to Smg4 so he wouldn't feel lonely. It was a miracle Meggy could sleep despite Mario's constant snoring, but perhaps she got used to it after living with her annoying brother for 3 months. Luigi slept in his bed and Mario offered Tari his bed so the unused bed wouldn't go to waste. What a gentleman.

While everyone else was fast asleep, Smg4 was staring at the TV in front of him. He doesn't know how long he's been watching it or what time it even is. The TV isn't even playing anything. It's just...static. Smg4 couldn't sleep, despite being exhausted. Part of the reason was because of Mario's snoring, but the main reason was because he was thinking of Smg3 again.

Smg4 hadn't told anyone, but he would have constant nightmares about what happened back in the pit. He didn't dare to mention the time he and Smg3 died together. How could he? They wouldn't believe him. In fact they might've thought he was crazy, and Smg4 didn't want to seem psychotic to his friends, the only people he really had left.

As Smg4's mind kept racing with intrusive thoughts, the TV suddenly turned off. That made Smg4 jump a little and he looked up. He then looked back down to see if any of the two on the floor were the ones who turned off the TV, but they were fast asleep.

Suddenly, the TV started glowing and it flew up towards the ceiling. Smg4 was in shock and he stared as the TV grew limbs. Two arms, a body, and two legs. Smg4 almost had a panic attack as he was familiar with the TV entity in front of him. That same TV entity was cursing him in his nightmares, laughing at him and taunting him for killing his meme guardian partner.  The TV man looked down at Smg4, giving him a taunting smile.
