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

-The plans are set-

(---)

Suitcase sighed, it had been about two days since the meeting, everyone came to an agreement over the plan. Which will be enacted tomorrow morning... or so.

Suitcase looked over the horizon, the fresh morning air crisp against her lips. Suitcase stood outside of the hotel, waiting for.... someone.

Yesterday Suitcase had... asked to speak to Balloon, and he agreed to speak today, outside of the hotel, fresh in the morning. Now she waited, eventually she heard the door open, footsteps stepped out of the hotel. Walking over to her cautiously.

Suitcase gazed over at Balloon and gave him a small smile, she hadn't found the time to speak to him since this whole ordeal started. So it was nice to have a long conversation now,

"Hey Suitcase," Balloon greeted her, standing next to her, "how's life been?"

"Decent enough," Suitcase replied, "how was season three? I know you got far in.. but thats about it, we didn't really watch season three."

"Oh- well, it was something," Balloon chuckled nervously, "a lot of things happened that I never thought would... and I came second- so- thats pretty good."

Suitcase smiled, "that is..."

They both looked awkwardly at each other, one subject matter leaving the air riddled with tension. Suitcase sighed, going to take a bite at it.

"I uh- noticed that you've become closer with.... Nickel," Suitcase muttered, noticing how tense Balloon came.

Quickly she added on, "n-not that its a bad thing. I'm actually happy you two worked out your differences... I just uh- how?"

Balloon gave a weak chuckle, "Honestly- it was difficult, on and off, a lot of challenges... I don't even know how it worked out... but it did, and I'm happy for it."

"Oh- thats good," Suitcase smiled, "if you want to talk more about it, you can- or we could go for a walk."

"A walk would be nice," Balloon replied, "walk and talk, we can just talk about everything thats happened in our lives and just- catch up."

"Yeah," Suitcase gave another smile, "lets do that."

Their walk together was quite pleasant, the two took a lovely stroll down the beach. Reminiscing about their shared past in Season two, even the parts that weren't so fantastic. Balloon shared to Suitcase about his new found love of poetry, which amused Suitcase. Although she was happy for him to discover something that he loves.

The only thing that still held tension between the two. Was well- the unspoken happenings that led to Nickel and Balloon's relationship change. Balloon found it quite awkward to explain it all too her, especially without Nickel here. He should also have the change to mend this relationship.

Balloon knew that currently Nickel was catching up with Baseball, he had told Balloon that before he left their shared room. Balloon had wished him luck, even if Nickel didn't need it.

Anyways, that should all be going good.

Balloon looked back at Suitcase, the two walked in silence before she spoke up once more.

"How is Nickel?" She asked, her voice a tad nervous and hesitant.

Balloon sighed, "he's gotten better than what he was, but he still has that Nickel charm. Overall good."

Suitcase nodded her head, "right... Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm good, I found other Objects that don't see me for who I was," Balloon replied.
