Ray Monds breathing is steadying now.
Chatterbox is still sitting on the sofa with her to monitor her breathing.
"Do you need anything, Cups?" Chatterbox says still willing to do anything to help.
Ray Mond is still disoriented and shakes her head that she doesn't want anything right now
"Come on cups, just yucking tell me, I'll do anything. What do you need?"

Ray Mond says nothing, just holds up her hand and points.
Chatterbox, trying to interperate, "You need some water?" Ray Mond shakes her head "No"
"Food?" Ray Mond shakes her head "No"

"Are you okay, Cups? Can you not talk? Do I need to take you to the hospital?"
Cups again shakes her head "No"
"Tell me what's happening, Cups! I'll do anything to make it better!!! I'm tryin' here, Cups!"

Ray Mond clears her throat. Her voice is super Scratchy from not being able to breathe.
"Actually, Chatty, I could use that water, please?"
"YOU GOT IT CUPS BE RIGHT BACK!"

Cups still shaking from the nightmare is trying to sort her thoughts.
"That dream wasn't real, It wasn't real, It's okay, it's okay. Breathe."
"You've got to tell him, You've got to. That dream was a sign that you needed to talk to him." Ray says to herself
Chatterbox reenters with some water and some leftovers. "You hungry Cups?"
"No, thank you, though."
"If there is anything else you need Cups, please let me know, I will run out and get whatever."
"There is one thing I need, Chatty."
Chatterbox sits on the edge of the sofa, ready to do whatever "His Cups" request.
"Yes, Cups, what ya need?"
"I need you, Chatty!"

Chatterbox hands Cups her water and sat down beside her.
His face is so hot beneath his mask.
"Well, I'm glad, Cups; Because I need you too."
"I want you to take my heart, Chatty, and I want to keep yours beating as long as possible."

"What was that Yucking Nightmare about Cups. You scared the Yuck out of me!'
Ray Mond starts shaking again, "I uh, I can't, I can't...."
"It's okay, it's okay, Cups, Cups, Cups, you don't have to talk about it. It's alright."

"I want you to know Cups, you mean so yucking much to me. You've made my heart beat stronger than it ever yucking has!"
Chatterbox clears his throat, trying not to get choked up. "As long as I have your heart, mine will be juuustt fiiine."

Ray Mond turns in her seat. "I'm sorry I ruined "Our time. " "What do you mean, ruined it, Cups?" Chatty looking confused
"Well, I mean, I almost died coming in the house. I almost died because I couldn't breathe, I almost ended it...thats not my idea of fun." Ray smirked

"Cups, are we sitting together on the Sofa hanging out and talking to one another?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Okaay then!" Chatterboz reply is so optimistic. "Any time with you, Cups, I'm okay with whatever, as long as you're here."

Ray Mond smiles, "There's that Yucking smile. That's what I love to see!!" Ray Mond blushes.
"You like to see me smile?"
"No Cups, I love to see you smile. Making you happy makes me happy!"
"I'll be right back, Cups."

Chatterbox walks out of the room and takes out his phone, opens his contacts, and calls *Ursula Dialing*.

"Heello Chatterbox"
"Heeey Ursula, Um look, I know the sign says the clows can come back this afternoon, but Um, Cups has had a rough day..."
"Wait, Chatterbox, is she okay?"
"Well, I think so, we've kind of been arguing back and forth, she took a nap, and Holy Yuck and I had to wake her out of her dream she couldn't YUCKING BREATHE!"
"Everyone has a past Chatty."
"Well, heres the thing, Ursula. I don't think this dream was about the past, When she woke up, she told me to keep her heart safe." Sigh
"Then she said I can have her heart, and she wants to keep mine beating as long as possible."
Ursula sighs,
"Chatterbox, I'm not gonna tell you that she's not dealing with some stuff that she might not be telling you. Only time can tell."
"Well, yucking great! So you think she's hiding things from me?!" Chatterbox sighs."
"Not necessarily hiding things, just maybe something she's trying to deal with!"
"Well, I think we need some additional time. Is that something you and Sooty could communicate to all of the other clowns so Kirk doesn't end up calling me again because of the yucking sign out side of the house!"
"Will do Chatterbox, just be as understanding as possible. She could be having some sort of mental breakdown."
"Ahhh, I hope not."

Ray Mond is still sitting in the sofa, trying to eaves drop. Being unsuccessful, she plops back and crosses her arms.

Ray Mond pulls out her phone to see what's happening with her friends the last few hours. Her phone had been on silent, and she had to keep up with the drama!
Right as she pulls the phone out of her pocket, an old familiar name pops on to her screen.

*Incoming Call*
Bonbon

Ray automatically hit the decline.
Her heart raced. "Bon Bon what the Fuck? Why is he calling me?? I thought Chatty killed everyone. Chatty! Ray called out..."
Chatter box appears in the doorway. "Uh, one sec Cups be right there!"

"Okay, well, thanks for that!"
"No problem!" Ursula replied.
"I'll take care of that and then check in later."

"Sounds good! Thanks." Chatterbox hangs back up the phone and walks into the room where Cups is sitting phones still in hand.

"Okay! Cups good news, we get a little more time alone before all the clowns come back!"

"Oh, why?! I thought they were coming back today?" Well, tonight they were supposed to, but after all you went through in a day, I thought you might want a little more time to yourself. Or with me. Whatever you wanna yuckin do!" He snickers.

"I'm down for whatever, Chatty."
Chatterbox sits back down on the sofa, saying, "Yup Cups, that's what I love about you, down for whatever!"

Ray Mond blushes and asks, "Uh, who did you kill the other night when you came back to the funhouse all covered in blood, Chatty?"

"Uh, a bunch of mimes. Why?!"
"So, no one else. Great!" Ray Mond sighs.

"Nope, why Cups?"

"Well, I wasn't going to tell you, but I kinda feel like I should!

"Tell me what, Cups!? What's happened now!"
"Well, nothing has happened....yet."

"Yet!!?? What the yuck do you mean, yet?"

"Bobby Beldrum just called me."

"Bonbon called you? Well, what the yuck did he say?!"
"Well, he didn't say anything because I declined. The call. Do you think I should call back?"

"What the yuck?? Why would you call back! I mean anything he has to say can't yucking be good, and if you don't answer, then he can't yucking say anything. That's just the way I yucking feel about it!"

"Okay, Chatty, I won't answer then!"

Ray Mond thinks back to the last night she saw Bonbon, Bobby.
The prom, Ray Monds' date was Dundee, Chatty was out of town, and he was worried. He sent the clowns with her for protection because he had a feeling Bobby might try something fucked up. Ray Mond said she would be alright, but she wasn't. Bobby jumped over the wall dressed as her date and stabbed her thanks to the fucked up leader of BBMC. Ray Mond was definitely using them, but that was no reason to bleed to death in a prom dress. "Bleh." Chatterbox chuckles.

"What Cups? 6 nothing, I was just thinking about the last time I saw Bonbon, and I don't understand why me."

"Don't yucking worry about it, Cups! He's not important. Ya wanna go get your mind off everything?"

"Sure! What do you have in mind??"

"Well, have you got your rep up for "Chang Bang" yet?

"Oh I'm fucked, I haven't even started it...Aaaaahhh!"

"Don't worry cups, wanna go do some runs!?"

"Really?!" Ray responds so excited that he offered!
"Well, of course, Cups, you can't go by your yucking self. Why not me!"

"Just remember Cups, if Bonbon calls...don't yucking answer!"
"Okay, Chatty!"

Ray Mond jumps from the sofa and begins to head outside Chatterbox already out on the steps of the funhouse.

Ray freezes her phone vibrates...
