Shrimpo's POV:

I hate machines. Ever since that stupid gay flower (Dandy) decided to have me and literally the worst toons EVER to go on a run together, it has been going just great. I thunk my head on the machine again.

"Hey Shrimpo! (Oh no, not him...)" I hear the annoying voices of Razzle and Dazzle. They ALWAYS interfere. What do they want now...

"What do you want, Rizz and Dizz." I glare at them as I continue doing the machine.

"Hey, that's not nice! (Let's just go already...)" Razzle defends them, and Dazzle just wishes to get to the elevator. "It's the last machine, let us do it! (I'd rather not...)"

"What makes you think YOU can do the machine that I got! GET LOST!" I yell at them, and I feel triumphant until I fail a skillcheck. Razzle and Dazzle quickly hide behind a box. "What are you hiding for?! No twisteds are gonna appear-" I get taken away by a pair of long, stretchy hands. "WHAT THE- LET GO OF ME!" I jab the attacker in the torso, and they quickly let go.

"Ow..." Goob winces at the hit. I roll my eyes and stare at him. The part where I hit him has a liitle bit of ichor.

"What makes you think you have the right to grab me when I'm working on a machine?!?" I shout at him.

"Since you alerted the twisteds with your skillcheck, I saw Twisted Boxten coming after you. I just saved you..." He whines back, making some cute puppy eyes- NO! His eyes are disgusting! Instead, I clench my fists.

"I COULD'VE GOTTEN OUT OF THAT SITUATION MYSELF! BUZZ OFF!!" I scream at him, then walk back to the machine to notice Razzle and Dazzle working on it. They finish it fairly quicker than me, although I looked a whole lot more majestic doing the machine. I hate everyone.

Goob's POV:

As the final machine gets finished, I run back to the elevator where all of our teamates are gathered: Tisha, Razzle and Dazzle, Scraps, Shelly, Vee, and Astro. Hold on...where's Shrimpo? I look around for him before I see him escaping the clutch of all twisteds. His stamina is almost out. An idea popped into my head. I run out of the elevator.

"GOOB! Get back over here!" I hear my sister call at me but I didn't listen. There was 10 seconds left and I HAD to save Shrimpo. I pull out the air horn I had and honk it. All the twisteds redirect their attention to me, as I begin running toward Shrimpo. He's panting and all, so I scoop him up and let him have a piggyback ride on me.

"LET GO OF ME!!" I hear him yell, but I ignore him. Does he not like being saved? Just in the last 3 seconds, I enter the elevator and Shrimpo jumps off of me, disliking the ride. I just saved his life! No "Thank you"s or anything, but maybe he just forgot? I mean, maybe he's having a rough ti-

"GOOB! Are you okay??" I hear Scraps' voice come over to me. She helps me up, and I rub my head.

"Yeah sis, I'm okay. No need to worry about me." I glance at Shrimpo, who's facing away from everyone, grumbling to himself. I thought I heard him grumble, "I hate hugs," before Scraps snaps me back to reality.

"Goob? You there?" She waves her claws over my face, as if to cast some magic spell to look at her.

"Oh- yeah, sorry sis," I mumble, as she lectures me to put myself before others, and she doesn't want to see me in that of a situation.

"Besides, Shrimpo's ego is too big for him to actually see that you were the one to save him. I don't want you risking your li- I just don't want to see you get hurt, okay?" Her voice hiccups at the last sentence, and I hug her. I didn't know saving Shrimpo would hurt others as well...
