"Uh oh! Spaghetti ohs!"

---

Inside her red and blue room, Pomni was laying on the floor, looking up at the ceiling with her giant, circular bug eyes. The cyan carpet was touching her white skin, she could feel how soft it was as she simply stared. There wasn't much going on in her head, besides the anxiety and depression looming over her. She couldn't shake the feeling, no matter how hard she shook.

Of course, after the adventure to the candy kingdom she learned that it was okay to talk to the others around the circus about her negative emotions. Though, she just didn't feel right. She has tried to talk to Ragatha about this, but it just didn't click with her.

Don't get her wrong, Ragatha is very sweet. She was understanding and willing to do anything to help her feel less anxious, but... She felt as though she needed someone else to talk to. It just didn't feel right.

But who else could she talk to?

Zooble? Maybe. Gangle? No... Kinger? Maybe, if he didn't forget what they were talking about in the first place. Jax? Heck no!

It just felt a little different to her to have a new friend, is all. Maybe another conversation with Ragatha won't hurt--

Knock knock!

Pomni jumped up, her hat jingling and jangling around as she shakily went up to her door. Who could be knocking at a time like this?

Gulping, she placed her gloved hand on the doorknob and waited a little before answering.

"Uhh... Pomni? Is everything okay?" Ragatha asked, knocking once or twice more.

Realizing who was at the door, Pomni immediately cracked the door open, only a pinch, so they could see each other and exchange a few words.

"He-Heeeyy Ragathaaa..." Pomni greeted her, smiling nervously, "Umm- Yeah yeah, I'm okay! Just... Thinkin' about stuff! Haha..." She laughed, pushing her fake smile.

"Riiiight... Well, I just wanted to check up on you." Ragatha explained, grabbing her dress, "Caine made an announcement earlier too about an update, did ya hear about it?"

An update...? Already?

"Oh-Ohh... No- Yes? N-No, Is he uh..." Pomni stammered, caught off guard by this new information, "When is he doing it, exactly...?"

"Right now, apparently!" Ragatha answered, rolling her eye, "He seemed so excited he couldn't wait anymore, and he wanted EVERYONE there for it!"

"...Does he?"

Ragatha nodded her head, "Mhm!"

Fear rolled into her head, Pomni couldn't help but feel even more scared about this... Weird circus. First she gets teleported here against her will, then she sees a new friend she made EXPLODE in front of her... What's this new update about anyways? What new horrors will she see now?!

"Pomni?"

She was lost in her head again, she shook it off, jingling and jangling, "I'll be out uh- right now, actually!"
