All that glitters isn't gold -Inanimate Insanity AU-

-I've returned to my rightful place with you-

Suitcase's feet were disconnected, floating in this void, static rung in her ears. Only when the sudden jolt back to reality kicked in, she started to feel nauseous. Luckily Suitcase hadn't eaten anything yet today, otherwise, it wouldn't have look pretty. Blinking sporadically, she tried to comprehend what had happened. Suitcase looked over at Baseball.

Baseball glanced over at her, meeting Suitcase's eyes, Baseball shook his head.

"OMGA!!" Lightbulb exclaimed, "What was that?! You all like- experienced that floaty feeling?! Not just me??"

"Y-yeah, you aren't alone on... that one," OJ seemed out of sorts, eyeing MePad, "What was that?"

MePad tilted his screen body, confused, "It's just my teleportation, I didn't realise the effects it would have on regular objects," Mepad's voice was that calm upbeat tone as always, but today it carried an eerie vibe, at least in Suitcase's opinion.

Knife stumbled about, shaking off whatever numbness he got during the whole ordeal. He too eyed MePad with a tinted look in his eyes. Suitcase couldn't be bothered to decipher what the glint was, however. She grimaced, just noticing the library that loomed overhead.

Is this what the season three winner spent their money on? Why? What did they like about a library?

...

Who did they say won again?

"Well," OJ clapped his hands together, drawing the attention of everyone present, "I suppose we should reunite with everyone inside, and get information off Cabby, let's make this quick, ey?"

Everyone presented nodded in agreement. "Reasonable," Knife huffed out, but not angrily, he seemed out of breath like the rest. Maybe everyone was rubbed the wrong way by MePad's teleportation. Was that what it was like to go through one of MePhone's portals? Gosh, she hoped not!

The six of them strolled up to the front door, the doors were quite large and imposing. Two hazel-coloured doors, carved with intricate details on either side. Only part of a grand design, OJ hesitated slightly before knocking. "Let me discuss this all first, stay back guys," OJ explained, "I don't know how you guys are gonna be, received..."

Knife rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, although he still had a small smile. Suitcase glanced over Lightbulb and Baseball, Lightbulb (as always) was ecstatic, Suitcase presumes its because her friends are just on the other side of that door. However, a closer look at Baseball, she noticed a different expression. Baseball's face bore apprehension, he took one subconscious step back as the door opened and OJ snaked in.

The door shut behind OJ with a thwack!

The final four, plus MePad, now waited outside. Suitcase waddled sideways, towards Baseball a bit more, "H-hey" She said, voice meek, "I know we don't speak much anymore, but um-"

Their eyes met, "You seem off..." Suitcase frowned.

Baseball sighed, he looked away, a tad ashamed, "It's nothing Suitcase, y'know who's in there, it's just been awhile thats all."

Suitcases paused before continuing, her words stuck in her throat. Yeah, she does know who's in there, and she has been actively ignoring that fact. But now she has to face it, or maybe she doesn't? Suitcase thought about Balloon then smiled,

"It'll be all good in the end, you don't have to talk to him," Suitcase assured her much larger companion.

Baseball rolled his eyes, "I don't think I'll have much of a choice knowing him... but-" He sighed, "I have missed him, so it shouldn't be all bad."

Suitcase nodded her head, "Hopefully-" was all she could let out before OJ re-exited the building. He looked over thoughtfully at the five of them before speaking.
