The Giant's Heart Arc (A Fanmade arc!)

SMG4: Friend, Fame or Faux

"Eggdog! Go and open the doors!"

Today was the day! Three's Coffee n' Bombs was officially open for business! For real this time!
SMG3 had recently been on a call with a famous celebrity a couple hours ago, and they had explained to him that they had wanted to come to his shop to try his coffee for themselves!
SMG3 was over the moon with joy when he got off the phone since then, and he couldn't stop moving around, redecorating the entire establishment to make it look spotless.
"It's finally happening, Eggdog! Daddy's going to be rich!"
Eggdog turned his head and barked as a response.

"What's going on in here?"
SMG3 turned to see SMG4, standing at the doorway, kneeling down to pat Eggdog. "I've never seen you so excited before. What's the occasion?"
"SMG4! Great! You're here. Quick, I need your help." Beckoning the Meme guardian to approach him, SMG4 gingerly obliged.
"What's uh... going on in here? You never ever ask for my help—"
"Hold this for a second."
Before SMG4 could respond, he was met with a heavy banner, neatly wrapped in a cylinder shape, which made him slightly stumble in place. "Woah!"
"Just hold that while I work on straightening this other banner out."
SMG4 blinked. He suddenly found himself glancing down at the small tag that was attached to the banner. "'Grand Reopening?' SMG3, what's going on?" SMG4 couldn't hold back his curiosity. He needed to know what his meme guardian partner was up to now. All of this was so unordinary for him. Even almost out of character. He seemed much too chipper and optimistic...
Was something wrong, perhaps? Did he drink a gallon of nitrogen and fell ill?
SMG3 finally took the time to stop what he was doing and looked down at SMG4. "You won't believe who I just got off the phone with!" SMG3's eyes were literally sparkling.
SMG4 glanced away awkwardly, and then back at his friend. "Who?"
"Mr Yeast!!"
SMG4's eyes widened. "Mr Yeast?! Like the Mr Yeast?!"
"The Mr Yeast that I did a streaming collab with before? Yup!"
SMG4's expression suddenly darkened. "The last time we saw him was right before..." He trailed off.
"I know!"
SMG4 glanced back up at his friend, who didn't look as sympathetic as he thought he was going to be.
"He heard about my new business, and wanted to check it out for himself! SMG4," He hopped down from his latter and grabbed onto his friend's shoulders. "Do you realize how big this is?! With Mr Yeast at my Coffee shop, it'll attract more customers! And even other companies! My entire business will literally blow up!" He paused. "Literally!!"
SMG4 smiled awkwardly. "Wow uh... you sure seem excited." He tried to hide the discomfort in his tone, but it was more of a challenge than he thought.
"You have no idea how big this'll be. I'll finally get the fame and recognition that I deserve!! AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS OF DEALING WITH YOU WEIRDOS!"
SMG4 rolled his eyes but his smile was evident. "Yeah sure, whatever you say, ya weirdo!" Pulling his friend close, SMG4 ruffled his hat with his fist; an affectionate gesture of what an older brother would do.
"OI!! I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD TOUCH ME!!" SMG3's heated attitude had made a return.
SMG4 backed away, holding his hands up in a way of a pretend submission. "Okay, okay!"
Pouting, SMG3 continued in a more light hearted mock. "I just brushed this hair!! I need to look my best for when he gets here! This has to be perfect!"
SMG3's last word made SMG4 flinch. "Look man, maybe you should cool down a little on the whole... trying to be perfect thing. Trust me, I know what it's like," Stepping closer, he frowned. "You're going to over work yourself."
To SMG4's surprise, SMG3 didn't make some snarky comment back at him. He only looked distraught. "But this is my only chance of success! I cant screw it up!"
SMG4's frown turned into a gentle smile. "I would know," He placed his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Just promise me you won't over work yourself for that..." He finished his sentence with an aloof glare. He wanted to finish that sentence, but he knew that if he did, he would probably piss SMG3 off. Shaking his head, he continued. "Just remember that if things don't go to plan, you still have us."
He didn't just refer to himself in that sentence. He also referred to his other friends. Mario and Meggy just to name a few. They had been friends since the beginning of SMG3's redemption. Having friends was definitely something that SMG3 enjoyed. But at the same time... if this whole plan of his fell apart... not only would he go back to being a broke, desperate, pleading man with a failing business, their was also that chance, that if his shop didn't satisfy Mr Yeast's needs and expectations, he'll most likely give Three's Coffee n' Bombs a bad impression. And if that happens... nobody ever would want to step foot into this place!
SMG3 couldn't physically screw up this opportunity. Otherwise, he risks losing everything regardless.
"Yeah yeah, I know. Friendship. Flowers, rainbows; all that gay shit."
SMG4 frowned. Did he forget about the whole It's gotta be Perfect incident?
"This is very important to me, Four," SMG3 continued, ignoring SMG4's obvious visible discomfort. "I can't screw this up regardless."
SMG4 wanted to argue, but he couldn't find the words to do so. With a heavy sigh, all he could do was agree and wish his friend for the best. "I suppose so," He sounded reluctant. "But you know how strict and judgmental Mr Yeast can be. I'm just saying that maybe you should—"
"Mr Yeast is an ICON!!" SMG3 corrected in a snap. "Sure he's a little more picky, but what else would you expect from somebody that's as famous as him? He deserves the best!!"
SMG4 scowled. No the hell he does not.
"I'm just saying..."
"Yeesh! Can you stop acting like my over-protective mum for five seconds?! I'm a grown ass man! I know what I'm doing."
By the sudden flash of worry in his eyes, SMG4 severely doubted that. But he didn't bother to start another argument, so he simply just shrugged his shoulders. "Okay then. But don't come crying to us tho when you suddenly find yourself in a Mr Yeast predicament." He grinned.
"Oh shut up," SMG3 snapped aggressively. "You're just jealous that a famous person is paying attention to me! Again!"
SMG4's expression darkened once more, but this time he didn't say a word.
Climbing back up the ladder, SMG3 huffed. "Now hand me that banner."
