BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Bridge Burning

Flower shielded her eyes from the oncoming wind storm as the growing cake in the air soon took up the entire sky, blanketing everything in a thick layer of darkness.

"Why did she need to use up so much yea-aaaahh!" Flower was cut off as the harsh wind lifted her off the ground, shoving her back into the van. Pencil ran in after her to get away, only for the van to slowly begin lifting off of the ground.

Of all the things that could've happened over most of BFDI, Flower definitely didn't remember this . At one point, the TLC shook a lot, but most of the people inside brushed it off as some kind of earthquake. How was she supposed to guess that this was the cause?!

"Flower, hold onto something!" Pencil yelled, wrapping her arms around one of the seats as the van was hoisted off the cinder blocks and lifted into the air. The two alliance members were shaken around the inside of the van like pinballs as it lifted higher and higher, until...

Pop

The pop was barely noticeable, in stark contrast to the alliance van suddenly dropping out of the sky like a brick, Pencil and Flower stuck inside to feel the impact.

Crash!

The good news was, aside from a very dented side and a few lost pillows, the van itself looked relatively unharmed. The bad news was, the same could definitely not be said for the two who were inside.

Pencil was the first to crawl out, rubbing her head, a large crack running down her center. It really sucks they didn't have a Pencil Recovery Center at the ready, because she felt she definitely needed one.

Flower came out not long after. Her petals were wilted and bent, but she was definitely still alive. Winded, exhausted, and possibly injured, the two simply chose to lay in the grass for a bit. They were gonna show up for Cake at Stake in a few hours, of course, but that could wait. For now, all they wanted to do was recover from what just happened. What the actual petal was that?

"Gloop gloop! Doot Doot! It's time for Cake at Steak, for the Cherries."

Everyone would gather up once again, Flower sitting uneasily in her usual spot as she idly fumbled with her petals. She was doing her best not to cry, vomit or pass out from being thrown around in a van during that storm. Pencil was sitting by her alliance, where Match and Bubble were fretting over her injury.

"There's nine of you now, there will only be eight later." The Announcer explained, before the sign came up, "So we got fourteen votes."

The upside is, the Speaker went from an ice cake to an actual ice cream cake. Certainly tastier and a lot less painful than what the Grapes got last time.

"Match, Blocky and Flower, all of you have win tokens. Would any of you like to use them?"

"No." Match responded.

"Nah." Blocky added.

"Um..." Flower had to think about this again... more votes than last time, but would it still be too early?

"Okay, no one's using a win token." Announcer said, taking Flower's hesitation as another 'no'.

"W-wait, I wasn't-" Flower started, fearfully, but Announcer cut her off.

"Let's move on to the ones who have zero votes."

Bubble was the first one called on, at another zero votes. Before she could grab her cake, Pin would suddenly fall out of the sky, conveniently, right on top of her. Needle was greeted by a splat of cake covering her.
