A flashback to one of the first supply runs ever done.


(AO3 request for Chaos_and_Mayhem)

————————

She didn't expect this to be this... awful.


Well. Vee said it wasn't that fun.

Having to run away from evil, corrupted versions of friends and occasionalyl yourself. Always feeling afraid, having to rely on luck to find or be able to purchase useful items from Dandy.

But right now, it's not going well. Maybe she shouldn't have been so confident on her first supply-test run. She should have been more like Boxten. Yeah.

Scraps is currently heaving, slumped against a box as a Twisted Toodles chases after Pebble. She isn't... the most active, preferring to stay inside and get creative.


She knows she should head back to the elevator- she's all the way on the other end of the floor thanks to that little... ugh. She didn't realise the Twisteds were stupid, alright? Nobody really knows how they behave other than the Mains, the only Main being here right now is the one that can't even say a word.

She glances at her leg– Toodles managed to bite down hard on her ankle before continuing to chase– and winces. It's bleeding a lot, and it hurts way too much. She doesn't know if she can get up.


Then she hears the elevator door open.

Crap, she thinks, slowly and weakly getting up.

She tries her best to run there, despite the lack of energy.

She doesn't know what happens if you don't make it back.


She doesn't want to know.


Goob paced back and forth in the elevator, pulling at his fur. Rodger sighed, and put a hand on his shoulder, making him stop.

"Goob, calm down. Your sister will be fine," He tries to reassure the craft, but the craft didn't seem to hear him.

"What if a Twisted got her? What if she got too injured to move?" Goob whips around, grabbing Rodger by the shoulders and shaking him. "Rodger, I need to go out there and–"

"Goob, the elevator's gonna close in 10 seconds. Don't risk it. She'll get back, I'm sure," Brightney gives him a smile.

Then, in the distance, trudges a familiar figure.

"Scraps!" Goob cried out. "Quick!"

7.

Scraps is trying her best, though she has a visible limp and is obviously exhausted.

6.

"Closer! Quick! I– I can't hug you, I'm sorry!" He cried. "I-I hugged Shrimpo earlier!"

5.

Scraps doesn't mind. She knows it hurts for him to stretch his arms that far so often.

4.

She doubts she'll even make it. It's fine. Her little brother is safe.

3.

"Scraps! Please!" He sobs. He doesn't want to lose his sister. Not like this.

2.

An idea suddenly sparks in her mind. Maybe she can make it after all.
