I stood in the elevator alone, waiting for the doors to close. Suddenly, Finn, Glisten, and Cosmo came running towards me. "Hey, Astro, wait up!" Cosmo shouted.

My eye widened and I looked away, begging the elevator to close faster. No no no come on please no I don't want to socialize-

Nope. Too late.

The trio stood beside me, Cosmo rocking back and forth from his heels to his toes and back again. Finn was whistling, occasionally telling a fish pun to Glisten, who was unamused, his arms crossed and a bored look on his face.

"So, Moon Boy," the charismatic mirror started, "Where'd you run off to these past few months? We haven't seen you in the elevator at all, and come to think of it, your boyfriend has been appearing a lot less, making it harder to survive. Are you guys...."

He didn't finish his sentence, letting me know he was thinking of something suggestive. "W-what?! N-no, of course we aren't, I'm just- er....busy with......things......"

"Uh huhhh." Glisten responded, not looking at me. God, leave it to him to turn a dark secret into some horny sh*t.

The elevator opened, and as we went through the floors, I made sure to steer clear of everyone so they wouldn't see what I was up to.

I looked around an ichor extracting machine, finally at floor 27. The others were low on health, but still breathing. However, they didn't know I was already at one heart when I started.

Luckily, there was no one around it. I unscrewed a tube from the wall that Dandy had installed for alternate ichor extractions, screwing it into a hole in the extractor and watching the completed machine slowly go back down to zero. The light stayed green.

Hearing footsteps coming my way, I unscrewed the tube and put it back where it was, hiding in the shadows.

Cosmo stopped at the machine, looking confused. He observed around the machine, making me realize I should've waited until he was dead.

Rodger was currently teaching Cosmo how to find clues and such to things that didn't make sense, and he was really getting the hang of it. He saw the tube in the wall, walking closer to where I was hiding. Glancing in my pocket, I found a canister of ichor for emergencies.

Guess I have to.

I chugged the thing down, waiting for the transformation. I felt my vision go blurry, or at least blurrier than it was already. My shadow grew taller, as did I.

Cosmo slowly turned around to me, his eyes widening in fear. It seemed he thought I was just one of the other Twisteds.

Perfect.

A splatter echoed through the room. Cosmo was dead. One less toon to find out.

Of course, there's a time limit to the ichor before it takes complete control. Remembering a few happy memories, I felt myself shift back to normal.

"A-Astro....?"

No more fish puns.

Bark bark!......arf..?
