BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Claustrophobe's Nightmare

Sunrise came exceptionally quick this morning. Flower couldn't tell if she underslept or overslept, but it certainly felt like one of the two. She rubbed the tiredness out of her eyes, when...huh. Was it just her imagination, or did her hands look different? They looked...smoother. Flower looked down at her feet. Did they always look like that? Maybe she just needed to step out to clear her head some.

Cracking her neck and stepping back out into the light, for another challenge, with that dumb speaker box, hoping not to fall into...

Brrrrrrrzzzzzt !

...the petal was that ?

"Flower, do you know what those sounds are?" Pencil, whom woke up quite a bit before Flower did, approached her.

"No...I just woke up, why?" Flower asked, already having a bit of an idea, since neither her nor Pen saw any sign of Woody last night.

"Come on, Flower. Let's find out!"

Without warning, Flower would have be dragged by her top pedal toward the source of the noise.

"Hey, watch the hair!" Flower whined at this, before being dropped to the ground, and that's when she saw...

"Oh, for petal's sake, Blocky!"

Once at the clearing, they saw the two trees the WRC was connected too, alongside the woodchipper it was placed above. Right beside it was the BRC, with a previously patched-up hole now readded.

"That is...a lot of wood shavings." Pencil noted, pointing toward the large pile that had accumulated in front of the machine.

"You're not funny , Blocky!" Flower called out, already knowing that Blocky was already back in the TLC and...oh right, today was the first of the 'bring back a contestant' votes, wasn't it? Didn't he win that the last time?

"Come on, Flower, let's help them out of this." Pencil, taking charge, would use the mountain of wood shavings as leverage to climb up on top of the machine, "Hang on, Woody. I'll get your recovery center down."

"Pencil, don't you think you should turn the woodchipper off before you do that?"

"What?" Pencil asked, confused... right as Woody respawned again, knocking into her and sending both of them right into the mouth of the machine. Flower winced as she saw more wood shavings fly out, alongside some small bits of metal and eraser.

She then sighed as she turned to the other side of the machine, flipping the off button and subsequently hearing Woody fall in again with a simple metal clang.

"Thaa you, Flowaah....Owwww..."

Flower watched as Announcer forced the lid of the TLC open, allowing the six eliminated to come out. As it did, it made Flower realize that, aside from Blocky and Spongy, the eliminations went very differently. Hm, she changed more than she thought. The most important one, to her at least, was that she was still outside of it.

"Hey, Flower. Who do you bet's coming back to the game?"

Flower snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Coiny and Needle behind her.

"We're taking bets on who's the lucky lsoer." the coin explained, "I've currently got forty-five bucks riding on Eraser ."

That seemed like a pretty low amount to Flower...before she remembered Yellow Face hadn't started selling paper slips yet. Man, those things really did a number on the economy...
