SMG4 oneshots

🧡The missing squid

(I got a bunch of requests by Dumb ideas on AO3 and I'm just warning you now, these will all come out at random times and orders, but thank you for all of the requests!

Some of them I changed up a few things, but it's pretty much the same as you requested.

Based off the latest episode.)

Mario was the first to realise Meggy hasn't shown up in a while, he didn't really think much of it to begin with so he didn't mention this to anyone.

Tari, however, noticed her friends' absence and had to tell the rest of the gang immediately.

"Don't worry, Tari, I'll just call Meggy and see how she is!" SMG4 reassured the blue haired girl and took his phone out.

One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Eventually it went to voicemail, 4 sighed and just left a message. "Hey, Meggy, uh, you alright? Just call me or one of the others back later when you can. Bye!"

Tari didn't feel any more reassured about that, "I'm gonna go check on her..."

Mario grinned and started following her "Mario will go too!"

Tari had a bad feeling before, but now that she was standing right next to her apartment, it only grew. She slowly walked over to the door and lightly knocked on it. "Hey... Meggy? It's us... uh... we're just worried about you!" Her concern only grew the more she waited by the door.

Mario quickly got bored and BLJ'd his way into the house, which they were only met with more silence...

It felt as if nobody's been in the house for a couple of hours, maybe a day, but there were no notes, no trace of where she could've gone, nothing.

Panicking, the pair rush back to the Showgrounds where most of the gang were still hanging out. "We got into Meggy's house and it was completely empty, and now she's missing and I don't know how we're gonna find her or if she's even alive!" Tari blurted out.

"I didn't understand a word you said." Bob responded a few seconds afterwards.

"Meggy is missing!" Tari repeated, most of the gang felt a chill of unease after hearing that, nobody wanted anything bad to happen, but some of them suspected it already has.

So they went and searched the local area, asking some of the others where they last seen Meggy, but it was a similar answer from everyone. A few of them had their suspicions, especially Mario and SMG4. 4 thought it was suspicious that Mr. Puzzles tried to convince Meggy to join his team the last time he saw them, and Mario just suspected Puzzles because he just had this gut feeling. Either way, finding him was gonna be a problem not everyone had experience with him, and nobody knew his whereabouts, and as the days went on, everyone just got more and more stressed out.

Mario hadn't slept for a few days, neither had Tari, even SMG4 had been running on nothing but coffee for the past couple days. But no matter what they tried, it felt like there was no hope.

And it was just before 4 was gonna host WOTFI this year, and he was hoping it'd go off without a hitch, now he just feels stupid for thinking that.

On top of the lack of sleep, the stress of not finding Meggy was wearing them all down.

Saiko had caught Tari crying one evening, so she forced her to get some rest and to let the two boys look for her that night. And after that, she felt a little better and more rested.

Mario refused to get any rest, despite what the others kept telling him, he was determined to find Meggy, no matter what. He didn't even eat as much over this time, as he was just too occupied with finding his sister figure than anything else. He didn't want to lose anyone else. And that was causing him to act out sometimes, he yelled at 4 for not doing enough to help her, got angry at everyone for not checking on her sooner... and if he saw Mr. Puzzles' screen head... he would smash it up until there was nothing left. But there was also an aspect of regret that creeped in, for not always having her back, for not speaking up when he first noticed her absence. He would definitely apologise to her about everything when he finds her. If he finds her...

And SMG4 reassured everybody that he'd be okay, that he's used to not sleeping for long periods of time. However, it became abundantly clear that he was not alright. The first sign was when he stopped eating, just like Mario (but a bit more extreme), then it was the panic attacks that he got on an almost daily basis now, and what no one else knew, was that he blamed himself for letting this happen, he was supposed to be the 'leader' here, but now he's lost one of his closest friends.

The others were searching, but less thoroughly, some of them had stayed up a night or two, but they usually got some rest before things got worse for them.

The next Saturday came and there was still absolutely no sign of finding her. People were starting to lose hope.

Then the gang had found a poster that had Mr. Puzzles in it... and Leggy...
