BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Loss of Marbles, Loss of Trust

It definitely did not feel like a whole year had passed for Flower since she ended up back here. Part of her still wondered what happened to her original timeline, if it even still existed, but that didn't matter too much to her at this point. Even if she got back, the competition probably would've been long over by now. She was pretty sure TPOT would still be going on though, so the most she probably could do even if she got back was maybe catch that... but that wasn't too much of a concern for her right now. Sure, she felt bad for the possibility of anyone in her original timeline looking for her... but part of her doubted anyone would care that much. Maybe they checked the BFDI? Maybe they knew where she was now? Maybe they all just kind of gave up after a while and marked her off as gone? Who's to say? Since Flower couldn't possibly check, she chose not to dwell on it any further. What did she have to dwell on now? Staying out of the TLC and reaching Dream Island.

Flower checked the time...12:15. Good, she had time to rest a bit before heading out for Cake at Stake....wait, wasn't there something else going on at twelve?

Oh right, she had to sign autographs with Pencil, since that was what she promised Basketball. Fortunately enough, it wasn't just the two of them that were gonna have to do that, as some of the others had also shown up to autograph things for the unexpected guests that were the recommended characters, and it seemed there were even a few more guests today.

"Oh wow, thank you so much, Pen." A familiar text-to-speech voice was heard within the lines that formed, as Remote, who looked a lot slimmer than she would come BFB, walked away, the word " Ben " written across her forehead in blue ink.

"Any time." Pen waved her goodbye as he turned to the next person in line, "Man, I feel like I'm famous now! Isn't it great?"

Think you're famous now? Just give it a few years. Flower thought, given how they'd get... mmm, about ten thousand times the amount of votes they were getting now? And whole stadiums worth of these weirdos too.

"Yeah, for sure!" Leafy said, currently writing down 'never give up on your dreams' on the cap of one of the markers.

"Speak for yourself." Pencil muttered. It seemed she was the one who got the least amount of sleep as she had to wake up at twelve, which definitely wasn't something she was fond of doing.

"Are you okay, Pence...Pencil?" Flower asked, avoiding calling her that again already.

"Yeah, I'm fine...I'm glad the others wanted in on this." She looked over at the others signing stuff.

"Hey, Flower! Think you could sign my blade ?"

Flower's thoughts were cut off as a large, silver knife stepped up to her. Out of everyone, it seemed he was the only one really interested in asking her for an autograph.

"Oh, uh, sure." Flower gave a shy grin, looking around... phew . It seems a few of them got their hands on dry erase markers, perfect to quickly sign the word "Flower" on this stranger's forehead.

"You know, you've been kinda underwhelming this season." Knife pointed out, as she finished.

"Underwhelming?" Flower raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, with how everyone was talking about you at first, I was expecting you to be a real jerk !"

"A jerk?"

"Yeah, it's a total letdown . You've been kinda just letting others boss you around, that's no fun. You're, like, a huge wimp. "
