BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Epilogue - Battle for Nothing

t had been a few years now since BFDI had ended, with a much more satisfying conclusion for everyone involved... everyone besides the Announcer, of course.

A lot had changed in the five years since Pencil won the island, the biggest thing being the renovations. Pencil had already generously given out homes on the island to all twenty contestants, but there was still so much space left, especially in the hotel, that she had an idea... why not turn 'Freesmart Isle' into a resort? She even offered discounts to the twenty-nine other failed rejoins. Ever since then, the place had been busier than ever, but most of the work had luckily been left to the many robot butlers around the place.

Flower had settled down quite nicely. Dream Island was a very ideal place to live, after all... not to mention, she was selling sweaters like hotcakes now at the newly-renovated gift shop they had gotten up and running.

To top it off, more businesses got involved when they added a seventh restaurant - Gelatin's Steakhouse. The two hit it off fine as friends in BFB, so Flower decided to offer him to expand his business some.

All in all, the island was bustling with activity, as per usual... but things would take a turn Flower only remembered would happen when it was a little too late to warn anybody about it.

"Hey, Eraser! Eraser!" Pen quickly ran over to his friend, briefly tripping over Rocky on the way over.

"Woah, Pen! Space !" Eraser quickly shoved him back some.

"Oh, s-sorry, bud!" Pen scratched the back of his head nervously, only just remembering his friend's bad case of claustrophobia (two years in a metal box just kind of... did that). "I just wanted you to look at this ... it's a rectangle !"

"Oh, wow..." Eraser said, giving his friend a bemused smirk. "W-why did you... feel the need to show me this?"

"I don't know." Pen shrugged. "I'm just... bored, I guess. I've got nothing else to do, anyways, since they're renovating the arcade at the hotel."

"Oh yeah, forgot about that." Eraser sighed. "Well... wanna head down to the skatepark?"

"Oh yeah, totally!"

"Hi, Tennis Ball!"

"Hi, Foldy. Enjoying your stay?"

"Oh, definitely!"

TB and GB were currently monitoring the pool. The robot servants couldn't swim, so lifeguard duty was one of those things they'd still need to keep a close eye on.

"That's nice to hear!" TB smiled at that, swinging his legs a bit as he sat in his lifeguard chair with GB's right next to him. "Are you planning on going swimming?"

He only realized how dumb that sounded when Foldy laughed hesitantly, making him blush a bit. "Uhh... I-I mean, I would if I could ! Paper and water... don't really go that well together."

"Oh yeah..." TB laughed nervously. "Maybe I should probably think before I say anything..."

GB snorted, smirking at her lifeguard partner good-naturedly. "Mhm, maybe you should , Trusty TB." She then turned to Foldy, breathing a little sigh as she leaned back in her chair. "Anyway, feel free to just relax and enjoy the sun, if you'd like. It is a beautiful day today, if astonishingly hot... I think-"
