(Ignore the picture lol)
It was bright and early in the morning. Probably around 4:30 in the morning. 3 was up and at em just cleaning his coffee shop (he never went to sleep). He was sweeping the floors, dusting the cabinets, cleaning the windows, washing the dishes, etc. The bags under his eyes made him look like a panda. He was also yawning uncontrollably. 3 was in the middle of sweeping when he heard a knock at the door. 3 set his broom down and went over to the door. 3 opened the door and saw it was Eggman.
"Hello, 3." Eggman says. 3 looked Unphased. His eyes were half-lidded with boredom. He yawned and spoke. "What do YOU want, Eggman?" Eggman grinned evilly. His laughter filled the room. "So... my eeeeevil pal... I have devised a plan." Eggman says, putting his hands behind his back. 3 was curious. He wanted to know what this plan was and why Eggman was up this early. silence filled the room for a few moments. 3 was getting impatient. "So? What's this plan?" 3 asked. "In order to make sure no one finds SMG4's body... we have to burn the body." Eggman says with a devilish grin. 3 immediately tensed up. He didn't want to do anything else to 4's body. "Well- I would... but I forgot where I hid the body." 3 said, clearly nervous.
Eggman frowned at that sentence. He felt like 3 was lying in which he was. "Well... you better hope no one finds 4's body... if you know whats good for you. Besides, you're the new creator of 4's channel. This is what you've wanted, right? You were so close to getting his channel all to yourself but 4 ALWAYS stood in your way. You should be happy, SMG3." Eggman says, circling around 3. 3 didn't want anything to do with that. He was too busy dealing with the guilt. "You have control of his whole life. YOU are SMG4... but better." Eggman says, still circling around 3. "Y-yeah... you're right! Screw 4! Who needs him anyway!" 3 shouts, letting the thought of overpowering everyone get to his head.
"That's more like it." Eggman says with a evil smile and walks away from the coffee shop, leaving 3 alone. 3 stood at the entrance to the shop in silence for a few moments. He was still tense. The thought of feeling so muchh power over 4's channel left his brain and guilt started to flood his head again. "It's alright... I just need to forget about him." 3 says, trying to convince himself that it's ok that 4 is dead. 3 backs away from the door and paces back and forth inside the coffee shop. EggDog creeped around the corner and barked at 3. "What?! N-no! he's just a worthless nobody!" 3 shouted back at Eggdog. EggDog continued to bark and growl at 3. It was almost if EggDog was calling 3 stupid (which he is) for thinking such things.
"Alright fine! I- I feel pathetic, ok!? I feel like I made a huge mistake alright!? WHICH I DID! AND I TOTALLY DON'T THINK I SHOULD SUFFER BECAUSE OF IT!" 3 yells angrily at EggDog. EggDog walked closer to 3 and leaned his head against 3's leg, trying to comfort him. 3 covered his face with his hands, trying to hide his guilt. "I'm so sorry, 4..." 3 says, trying not to cry. "Forget being a villain... I just- I..." 3 immediately stopped talking as he felt something touch his shoulder. 3's eyes widened and h quickly turned around. "WHO-" 3 didn't finish what he was saying. No one was there.
"I-I'm just... starting to let the guilt get to me..." 3 says, rubbing the back of his head. He looked down at EggDog who was shaking. EggDog was staring at something. "What's wrong, buddy?" 3 asks with concern. EggDog just continued to shake with fear. 3 looked in the direction EggDog was looking but saw nothing. 3 turned his attention back to EggDog who was still shaking. 3 picked up EggDog and pet his head. EggDog was still shaking. He was very terrified. 3 was beginning to get worried. He set EggDog down and walked in the direction of where EggDog was staring. He suddenly felt a chill go down his spine. "Brrr... gosh, it's cold in here." 3 says as he takes a look at the thermostat. "67 degrees? That's not even cold." 3 says. He decides to ignore the strange things going on and go to sleep. He walks to a chair and sits down on it. He rests his head on the table that was next to the chair and goes to sleep almost immediately.

Mario, Meggy, Luigi, Tari, Boopkins, Bob, and Saiko were walking to the castle to see if SMG4 had returned. when the crew made it inside the castle, it was quiet. The sound of typing on a keyboard was heard coming from 4's office. Meggy Everyone stopped walking and stared at 4's open door for a moment. "I'll go check it out, guys." meggy whispered. Meggy quietly made her way to 4's office. The sound of typing got louder and louder as Meggy made her way to 4's office. Meggy peaked inside of the room and looked around. She quickly noticed 3 sitting in the chair. "HEY!" Meggy shouted. 3 jumped out of the chair and turned around. "I DIDN'T DO IT!" 3 yelled. Meggy raised an eyebrow. "Didn't do what?" Meggy asked.
3 had just now realized what he had said. He tried to play it cool. "What brings you here?" 3 asks, trying to sound calm. Meggy noticed that 3 had dodged the question she asked but decided to brush off that fact. "I could ask you the same thing." Meggy says. "Well, I was just going to take care of 4's channel while he's gone, y'know?" 3 says, chuckling nervously. Meggy's expression softened and she crossed her arms. "Well isn't that nice of you!" Meggy says with a warm smile. 3 rolled his eyes and sat back in the chair. He continued to type on the keyboard and started editing videos that weren't finished. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever..." 3 says bluntly. 3 continued to edit videos on the computer, trying to ignore the fact that Meggy was there, just staring him.
The rest of the crew came in and saw that 3 was in the room. "What's SMG3 donig here, meggy?" Tari asked. Meggy turned around to face Tari. "He said he's gonna take care of 4's channel while he's gone." Meggy says with a smile. "Bullshit." Bob says, turning around to walk away. "No way in hell he's this nice." Bob continues. He then walks out of the room and heads towards the castle doors. He opens the doors and leaves the castle.
3 grits his teeth. He hates being called out like that. Even so, he knew what bob said was true. He usually isn't this "nice". "I'm only doing this to get fame and steal from 4's channel..." 3 thinks to himself, trying to convince himself that that's the only reason he's doing this. He continued to edit some videos while trying to ignore the fact that everyone was still there, just watching him. A few moments later, 3 couldn't take it anymore. He wanted the others to leave him alone. He just wanted to be alone. "Heh... could you guys just... I don't know... leave?" 3 says turning around in the chair to face the others. "Stop being whiny, 3." Mario says, crossing his arms. "WHAT?! I-I'M NOT WHINY!!" 3 shouts. "You are." Mario says. 3 rolls his eyes and turns back to the computer. Meggy motions for the others to leave. They all walk out of the room and head into the living room.
As the crew talked to eachother, 3 got up from the chair and walked to the office door. He then closed the door and sighed. He wanted to be alone because he couldn't handle talking to anyone right now nor could he risk talking to anyone without breaking down. "This is for the best... i-it's a good thing he's gone right?" 3 says, still trying to convince himelf that its ok that 4 is dead. 3 goes back to 4's desk and sits down.

7 HOURS LATER

After hours of working on videos nonstop, 3 decided to call it quits and head to bed early (yes, at 2:30 pm) and take the rest he needed. He got out of the chair and stretched his limbs. He then walked to the door and opened it. He walked outside the room and shut the door behind him. He noticed that everyone else had left and went to their homes. 3 let out a huge sigh and headed out of the castle. As soon as he was outside he looked around making sure no one was around. He let out a sigh of relief and headed to his evil lair.
Once he was there, he walked to his bed and collapsed on it. "Today was exhausting..." 3 says to himself. He noticed that EggDog was already asleep. he smiled softly at the adorable sight and slowly shut his eyes. After a couple of minutes, he finally fell asleep. The only problem was that he wasn't going to have a very nice and relaxing sleep.
