Kids will be dumb

She sat up, grumbling to herself. "oh you're awake!" The squid ran up to her and she smiled a bit. "Hi taggy." Shee hummed. The gem from earlier ran up quickly shaking her hand. "Hi! What's your name?" She asked, a huge smile plastered on her face. "er.. book..?" The kitefin responded. A pencil walked over to her, leaning over the foot of the bed. "This.." She waved a hand at ruby. "..ecstatic puppy.. begged us to let you and your friend stay here." she groaned, so annoyed at the fact of a not freesmarter being there.

It was very established that the freesmart clubhouse was for freesmarters only! And sometimes ice cube!

"Thanks." The novel mumbled, sarcastically. She looked over at ruby, who was staring intently at her lights. The "ecstatic puppy" or whatever pencil called her seems nice, at least. Energetic, though. The sh

"I'm this alliance's amazing leader, Pencil." The taller girl introduced herself, leading book and pricetag through the club house. "Nice house." She remarked. She glanced into the main room, noticing the other three club members on the couch. She grabbed the squid in front of her, whispering to them.

Taggy glanced at the others. "..You sure?" They asked. "Of course I'm sure!" She snapped. They nodded. "Yeah, yeah.." The muttered. The novel scurried over to the other three freesmarters, leaning over the couch. "..um, hi." She gave a small wave.

"Book!?"

Fire paused. Quite the dark story. Pin's face was laced with concern, frowning at the leaf. Coiny was shocked. The idea of Liy doing something like that.. It didn't feel like it was true.

 "..It does qualify as interesting." The flame decided. The thumbtack looked over at him. "That's what your worried about!?" She snapped. "Well, no, but that was why she told us that!" He replied quickly. Pin groaned in annoyance. "I'm sorry, did i hear you right?" Coiny asked. "Liy?" Leafy nodded. The angler fish thought to himself. "Dang, I should've know, she was always too nice.." He mumbled.

The stingray looked out into the open ocean. "How do you get us this lost?" He asked, looking back at the girl behind him. "It's not my fault you have no sense of direction." She spat, flicking her antenna. "Sure, I'm the problem.." Gelatin rolled his eyes. He squinted off into the distance, he could swear he saw light. "Oh thank collagen, I see someone." He sighed.

Those two idiots, getting themselves lost! Probably gelatin decided they should go have fun and lollipop ended up being why they wandered so far off.

'You should be glad i followed you guys.' She signed. Gelatin nodded. "Thank you.." He sighed. 'I had some questions for you.' The catshark remarked, looking in the direction of the shore. Not visible from their distance, but she knew where it was. "What is it?" Lolli replied.

'Lately people have been running away from here. I'm sure you know of the first instance, but after that Leafy ran away, Coiny, Price tag, Book..' She explained. "Oh! that's what happened to that *idiot?" The gelatin exclaimed. "I was wondering why I hadn't been annoyed rec-" He laughed, cut of by the angler fish elbowing him. He met eyes with teardrop, glaring daggers at him. 'Yes, I'm aware you all hate her.' Her antenna flattened in annoyance. 'I was wondering if you knew why any of them ran away, especially because you,' She motioned towards gelatin, 'were friends with Coiny.' The stingray nodded to himself.

He thought back to the last time he had seen the coin. He had been complaining about something. Wanting more friends?

"Um, yeah, he was rambling about wanting to meet more people?" He shrugged. The droplet blinked at him for a moment before scowling. 'surface.' She signed before swimming off. Gelatin looked over at Lollipop who shrugged and then hurried after the shark.
