Circus in the Sky!

✩~ A Strange Vault ~✩

SN00TZ was sweeping up the bakery. It was after the circus had closed so that's what she usually did before settling down for the night. She had already swept up the dining area, so now she was just sweeping up the kitchen. She hummed a small tune to herself as she did so.

' 'Excuse me, SN00TZ. .?' ' Diane walked in, fixing her gloves. SN00TZ turned to the lady.

' 'Yes Miss Diane,' ' SN00TZ set the broom against the counter. ' 'Whadya need?' '

' 'Well, I found something near your bakery and thought you might wanna know.' ' Diane answered, fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

Seeming a bit confused, SN00TZ walked out the bakery and looked around. Diane followed after. ' 'Where do you see this 'something'?' ' Asked the pink haired clown.

' 'Over here.' ' Diane jumped down from the little hill the bakery was sitting on and onto a floating platform. SN00TZ hopped besides her, looking at what Diane was. Her eyes widened. It was this old but large vault. Vines were sitting over it and it looked like it was rusting.

' 'Huh. . never seen this before.' '  SN00TZ said to herself as she walked over. She moved the vines out the way and grabbed the vault's circular handle and began trying to move it. It moved only a tiny bit.

' 'Go ahead and get the others for me, will you? I'm gonna need more hands for this.' ' SN00TZ ordered Diane. She nodded and walked off to go find the others.

Moment's after, Diane came back with the rest of the circus. DISM0L, YUKC0 and Caroline gave it a try but nothing worked. Then they added T00FERZ and G0Z. Some movement. Then EVERYONE pitched in and it began to turn. They all turned and turned and turned until they heard a loud creak. DISM0L and YUKC0 opened the vault and inside was. . nothing.

' 'What? All this for nothing?!' ' Caroline Exclaimed. 

' 'Wait,' ' G0Z stepped inside the vault. He looked around. ' 'I know this. Everyone, get in!' ' 

' 'What? Why?' ' Morgenne put a hand on her hip, but everyone began to walk in. It was spacious enough for everyone, surprisingly.

' 'Just trust me. DISM0L, close it.' ' G0Z seemed oddly excited for this. DISM0L walked over and closed the vault door, causing it to fall pitch dark in the vault. Like seriously, you couldn't see anything. 

It then went scarily quiet. No one made a word. They were almost scared to. The vault opened on its own moments later. They were in. . this abandoned building. They stepped out, looking around.

' 'Where the hell are we. .' ' YUKC0 crossed his arms as he looked around. G0Z stepped out with a sigh. T00FERZ cleaned his glasses, his eyes wide with shock.

' 'The orphanage. .?' ' He looked at G0Z.

' 'Guys, You're back!' ' A voice was heard and in ran the twin, Tsubaki. It was a little odd how she knew they were there.

' 'Tsubaki! Where's Haru and Sigmund,' ' G0Z hugged her as she hugged him back. ' 'Specifically Haru, aren't you two normally together?' '

Tsubaki waved her hand as she let go. ' 'Eh, they're fine! Haru's trying to find Sigmund, we haven't seen him all day.' '

' 'Oh gosh, I hope he's alright. .' ' G0Z looks down at the ground. T00FERZ sighs.

' 'Wait, hold on.' ' YUKC0 suddenly chimed in. ' 'Are we in like- a city now or?- Like, I'm confused here.' ' 

Tsubaki gasped, a smile coming onto her face. ' 'Oh, you've FINALLY made it out of Father Sun's world! Everything there was fake, humans, towns. Even the food.' '

' 'So how are we-' ' Tsubaki cut SN00TZ off. ' 'DON'T ASK.' '

Everyone was silent for a good moment before the realization hit them. They had all been living a lie for god knows how long, they forgot the amount of time they spent in the circus!

' 'Wait, so everything was just- a lie?. .' ' Z00ZY asked. Tsubaki nods. ' 'Sad but true, friend. Sad but true.' '

Everyone was quiet again. G0Z clenched his fists, his hands beginning to shake. T00FERZ took notice first. Suddenly, a cough was heard. Everyone turned to Diane. She held one hand to her chest and another to her mouth, coughing.

' 'You alright, Diane?' ' DISM0L asked, walking over to her. She waved her hand.

' 'I'm fine, just-' ' She coughed once more. ' 'Not feelin' the best. .' ' 

' 'Uh oh, look's like you'll be gone soon.' ' Tsubaki spoke up. Everyone turned back to her.

' 'What do you mean?' ' Asked Z00ZY. Tsubaki giggled. ' 'Simple! She's dying because she isn't in Father Sun's world. Father Sun created her, and if she doesn't get back to the circus in. . about 2 to 4 months, she'll die.' '

Everyone's jaw dropped at this information. Diane coughed even more, as if her body was weakening more and more by the second. Which it was. DISM0L put 

' 'Tsu-Tsu! I found- G0Z, T00FERZ!!' ' Haru exclaimed and ran over and hugged them both tightly, making it so they could barely breathe. Once she pulled away, Sigmund walked in.

' 'Sigmund!' ' G0Z went over to him and hugged him extremely tight. Sigmund hugged back, patting G0Z on the back. T00FERZ clenched his fists and put them into his pocket.

' 'I missed you!' ' G0Z pulled away from the hug. He was a good amount shorter than him, but that's okay. ' 'Missed you too, Ann. .' '

' 'So. . can we get an explanation for this whole thing at least?' ' SN00TZ put a hand to her hip. The three looked at the clowns, sorta staring for a moment before Tsubaki began to explain. . .

After that explanation, everyone came up with a plan. Obviously, Someone would need to stay in the circus to help Diane and even run the place. The twins (Akai) decided to do so. They wanted to spend more time in the circus anyway. The twins (BunnyMask) also decided to tag along with them. SN00TZ and Morgenne AND Fodloca AND DUMP7Y (Yes, he and SK00TSY still exist) all stayed with Diane at the circus.

G0Z, T00FERZ, Z00ZY and DISM0L all decided to go with Sigmund while YUKC0, Kermo, SK00TSY stayed at this. . abandoned orphanage they were in.
