GOOBS POV
"Scraps, you dont understand!" Goob pleaded, but Scraps wouldnt listen. Walking past me and blocking the entrance to the rooms.
"I dont care if he was having nightmares! He's made you cry many times and now you treat him like hes an innocent angel!" I know she was just looking out for me but Shrimpo seemed he had a change of heart. He never normally hugs toons, especially me..
"He hugged me! I didnt hug him!" I finally said it and i saw Scraps expression shift to one of shock.
"He.. hugged.. you?.." her gaze softened, looking down at her tail. "I'll let you talk to him. But if he ever does anything you must tell me!" She moved away, and i smiled, silently whispering 'thank you' to her and going past. Walking up the stairs to the 1st floor and looking around for Shrimpos room. It was pretty hard to find as it was right next to his room but he slowly approached it. Knocking gently on the door just so he didnt wake Shrimpo if he was asleep, there was no response. He quietly opened the door and crept inside, shutting the door behind him which was loud enough for anyone to wake up.

SHRIMPO'S POV

he heard the door shut and broke out of thought, sitting up and looking to the door. No one was there but just before he lied back down he saw a glimpse of... GOOB'S HAND?
"Goob..?!" He questioned, squinting just to see if he was hallucinating or not. After all he was just thinking about goob...
"Yea.. its me.. sorry for waking you.." Goob appeared out of the shadows, standing in the light where he could finally see him. He stared with big eyes before glancing away, slight pink face.
"Why did you come in my room." He said, with his usual angry tone but a slight bit.. softer.
He noticed goob stepping forward and turned back to look at him. He was rubbing the back of is head, though it was kind of... cute.. what no! He didnt like Goob one bit! He was just someone to avoid like the rest of the toons! But a he was deep in thought he didnt notice Goob was already talking, only taking in the last few words.
"-make more sense now?" He stared blankly, just doing a subtle nod like he did hear it all although he didnt.
"Well you can go. I just needed some more rest. Next time knock aswell!" He huffed, crossing his arms and now completely turned away, looking at the wall.

"Yea.. well.. you dont have to worry about scraps anymore, shes letting me talk to you!" He heard Goob mention before leaving, but not responding, Being in his annoyed time of the day.
"Oh well shrimpy, i'll be going now! See ya later!" He said before leaving, hearing the door shut much more quietly than earlier when it woke him up. Maybe he was just doing it on purpose. But of course he still had to get up to lock the door, so no one else could sneak in. Though that Poppy pop was really hitting him now, making him a bit more energetic. He still sat on his bed, light turned off and sheets messy, thinking if he should leave his room or not.. the time did go fast in this toony world so it was almost night, it would be a big waste of his time and energy. So he pulled the sheets over his body and lied his head on the flattened pillow which was no longer puffy, taking a big breath before closing his eyes. Sleeping peacefully before... the nightmare came..

The nightmare.

Shrimpo was extracting a machine, turning the handle more slower than usual as it seemed more tougher than the others, it was the last machine of floor 5. His hands hurt and started to get bruises on them as the handle grew more heavy and harder, almost giving up. But a growl startled him from behind, he turned his head, Keeping his torn hands on the handle so it didnt  all of a sudden reset which could happen as it was all imaginary. Behind him was Twisted Pebbles, Barking at him before charging, he tried to run but his hands were glued to the machine causing him to freeze in place. The last thing he remembered was Twisted Pebbles getting to him, ripping him apart limb by limb and throwing his body across the floor before he woke up with a terrified yelp. Sitting up and backing away till his back hit the wall
What could i do..! I-i cant stop these.. t-they just.. k-keep c-coming back.!
He panicked, his body shaking with fear. None of these nightmares were as bad as this one, they normally just ended with the twisted grabbing them, not fully tearing them apart!

He climbed out of bed, almost falling to the floor as his legs felt weak and unsteady but he gathered the rest of his strength and managed to make it to the door before having to lean against it. He twisted the doorknob open and shut it quietly, stumbling over to Goobs door and knocking on it.
"G-goob.. please o-open the door.." he barely even whispered, knowing goob would of never heard that but still hoped anyway.

GOOBS POV

He heard the knock, hiding the note he was writing on his desk under a bunch of paintings and crafts Puff and Scraps made for him and walking over to the door, widening the door. Before he could even react, Shrimpo hugged him tightly, feeling tears hit his chest fur and he was left shocked.
What happened..?! What could have possibly made him this upset!
He picked Shrimpo up and carried him to the bed, laying him onto it and asking a question
"Shrimpo, what.. happened.?" He was actually worried, seeing one of the meanest toons shaking  and crying like he had just been attacked. Sitting up on the bed and flicking the cover over both of them, he was about to say something before he heard Shrimpo murmur something.
"N-nightmare.." his voice shook, it was that bad..
"Shhh, hey dont worry. You can sleep with me tonight if that'll help!" He reassured but as he blinked, shrimpo was already asleep. He shuffled him over to the side, lying down next to him and pulling him closer, his long arms wrapped around Shrimpo tightly making sure he wouldnt have any more bad dreams.
I wonder why hes so friendly around me.. maybe he has a new heart?

 maybe he has a new heart?
