Shrimpo's POV~

I was still only thinking about that nightmare. Goob would never say that, would he? But i guess I'd never say what i said either...

As i walked out of my room i heard a pair of footsteps and noticed several Toons walking around the lobby.
I didn't bother to look at them, i just walked towards the kitchen to get a snack. I saw Cosmo wave to me at the entrance, his voice waking me back to reality:

"HEYY!!! Up early, Shrimpo?"

"Hi..."

"Whoa! You never say hi! HIIIIII!"

Cosmo was already annoying me, but i ignored him and walked by. I sat alone at a table, angrily chewing on breadcrumbs.
I listened in to the conversation around me.
Poppy was chatting with her "Girl squad".

"I can't believe the elevator ACTUALLY broke!" said Poppy.

"Yeah! Someone must've done it! There's no way it just coincidentally breaks after we try to lie about it." whispered Brightney in that annoying voice of her's.

"Wasn't me! But at least we get a bit of a break till it gets fixed. Who's fixing it anyway?" Asked Tisha.

I stopped listening. Unpurposefully, i began scanning the surroundings for Goob, but there was no trace of him.
...Good! I get to stay here without seeing that annoying smiley face.

GOOB'S POV~

I swing my legs while laying back on a bench. The entire bench shook every time i moved. I was having fun!

"Goob, are you even listening to me?" Asked Scraps, her ears pinned back like those of an angry cat.

"Ah, sorry, sis! I zoned out again..."

"What I'm saying is, you NEED to start listening to what i say! This is a great example! People like Shrimpo will always try to get to you, you can't just LET them!"

"I think that you should stop babying me! I'm not a... baby! And stop talking badly about Shrimpo, I'm sure he's good at heart!"

"Well, perhaps you should stop acting like one!" said Scraps, getting increasingly angry

"Maybe i will! Starting now! I don't need you as my nanny!" i shouted.

Scraps' eyes narrowed at my anger. She wasn't used to seeing me in a bad mood. She got off the bench and walked off, not turning back.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, more to myself.

It's okay! I'll just prove to Scraps that I'm actually capable of surviving! All by myself! I'll fill so many Ichor machines that we won't even need to go down for weeks!
It'll be... A piece of cake...
