Chapter 4: No Friend Left Behind

"SPPPPPHIIIIIIIINXXXXX-"

"ARRRROOOOOOWWWW-"

Almost immediately, Sphinx came running with Arrow riding on their back, holding a hand over their eye patch.

"What, Cork- oh. Why are you stuck in the tree again."

Sphinx huffed, bending down so Arrow could smoothly slide off. She let her hand drop to her side, tilting her head.

"And how?"

Cork stared at Arrow.

"Uhm. Magic?"

"Magic doesn't exist, stupid."

Sphinx leapt to the closest branch of the tree, holding out their paw. Cork carefully hopped over, grabbing it and swinging down. Unfortunately, they crashed right into Arrow and the two tumbled to the ground. Cork scrambled up in giggles.

"Oops!! Sorry, Arrow..~"

Arrow frantically grabbed the eyepatch and placed it over her eye again, narrowing the other one.

"Idiot."

Sphinx helped Arrow up.

"Why do you wear that eye thingy anyways? Cut your eye out this time?"

Arrow stared at Cork, her face blushing with anger and embarassment.

"Th-That isn't something to joke about, Cork! I'm not telling either of you."

"Oh, of course-"

Sphinx shut Cork up by placing a paw over his mouth. But he just continued to babble. No one could understand him though, so the two ignored it. Sphinx glanced up at Arrow, q concern expression on their face.

"Really, did that have something to do with this...?"

Arrow shook her head.

"No.... but I'm not telling either of you the reason."

Arrow pursed her lips awkwardly as Sphinx nodded, giving her a reassuring 'take your time' look. Arrow just nodded back. Cork went quiet, finally, and Sphinx lifted their paw.

"Let's all go home, alright?"

Cork agreed with a huff, and Arrow forced a smile.

"Alright. See you two tomorrow."

And with that, Arrow sped off alone. Cork stared after her but after she disappeared, he turned to Sphinx with a grin. 

"Can I get a riiii-"

"Yes, yes. I know what you're gonna ask."

Sphinx bent down, and Cork climbed up to her back.

"Yippeeee!! Giddy up, horsey!!"

"I'm not a horse, silly."

"Whatever."

And three more newbies!! Cork, Rattle, and Arrow. A fun trio!!

Cork: A wine cork. That goes on wine. What else to say? Cork has he/they pronouns. Prefers he. Cork is a silly fellow with ADHD. And is dumb- I also have him on my walls. Just a picture. Help.

Sphinx: Yk those cat statues in Egypt? Well. That's em. Like Otto, they have a floating crown on their head. Cause like. Pharaoh. (HEHEHEH SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS HAUNTS ME). Sphinx has they/them pronouns. Sphinx also kind looks like Razor from Objectified. Walks on all fours and stuff.

Arrow: A pink up arrow. Red eyes. Or- eye. She has a white eye patch (pinkish red stain in the middle) over her right eye. Your left. Pronouns are she/her. And. Yeah. For now. I'm not ruining something. FINE I WILL BUT TW-
