BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

A Crying Shame

The creaking door of the TLC, while it would be torture for Flower at any other time, was music to her ears at that very second. Finally, someone got eliminated again, so the lid wouldn't be crushing down on her chest any longer. As soon as it opened, she breathed a sigh of relief, before falling right back into the chamber.

"Are you okay?" Needle asked, being the only one in the TLC to actually care enough to check up on her.

"Ughh, I can't feel my legs!" Flower whined, "Someone get me...over the wall...!" even for how much pain she was in, she was still as bossy as ever.

Rolling her eyes, Pin filled her in, "Climbing out isn't that good an option. Even if we don't get caught in the lid again, the Announcer will see us anyway."

"I can't...I can't do this.." Flower responded, catching her breath, "I spent way too long in here already! One of you has to help me out!"

"Flower, we're already a quarter through the game now." Pin reminded her, pointing to Teardrop, the most recent member "And I doubt Announcer is gonna bring another eliminated contestant back again . We just need to wait it out."

"A quarter ?! I don't know if I can handle another day here, or even an hour !" Flower snapped back, trying to leap up to grab the edge, but by then, it was already closing and shut just before she could make it out. Flower slid helplessly against the steel wall with a loud creak...and would resume her fetal position.

Pin sighed and sat back down, watching the others as it was all she could do right now. She was hugging one of the corners - while it didn't bother her as much as it did with some of the others, cramped spaces still weren't exactly her favorite thing. Flower and Woody were groveling and sobbing, Needle was doing her best to comfort Woody, Spongy was stinking up the place...she couldn't believe she was thinking this, but she kind of missed Blocky of all people. He at least helped pass the time talking about one of his dumb pranks or whatever.

Just wait it out... Pin thought to herself, This will be over before you know it.

"Oh my pencil sharpener, how long have we been falling now?"

"I lost track, like, a while ago. I'm starting to think this pit is actually bottomless."

Flower mentally sighed to herself, trying to ignore the pit in her stomach as she dropped further and further into the pit the Squashy Grapes sent them into, she was about convinced that they would be stuck falling forever, until...

"Um, gals? Are those spoiks ?!"

Everyone stopped their conversations when they managed to look down, trying to keep the wind out their eyes as...holy aphid, those were spikes.

Everyone immediately cried out in fear, now likely wishing the pit was bottomless...only for the spike pit to open up, revealing...

Spongy? Oh yeah, he also was sent out of the TLC for a bit, wasn't he? Flower was really mad then. Now Flower finally understand why he was brought out, to suddenly spring the Cherries right back up the hole and onto the tightrope, where the Speaker was waiting for them. Bit of a jerk move with the spikes at all there, though.

"Squishy Cherries, welcome back. Your team lost last time, go to the Cake at...Cherries?" The Announcer stopped mid-exposition as he saw the looks on the team of five. Flower walked a few steps onto the grass and promptly collapsed, Pencil was currently hyperventilating from all of that, Woody looked like he was about to vomit from the constant movement up and down he just went through..., "Okay, recover from falling for so long and then go to the Cake at Stake place."
