Chapter 1

Shrimpo

Floor 3

               Shrimpo angrily leaned against a wall. Looking at all the people he HATED in an elevator he HATES! There was the ZESTY mirror.. the hugger.. the rubix cube hanging out near the deer one... the cat thing... and the game show host who was talking to..

Oh.

Oh no.

               If he had a list of toons he hated, BONNIE would definitely be at the top. For some reason, he didn't hate her like he hated everyone else. When she looked at him, or even just TALKED to him, he got nervous. And even worse, his face always started heating up. He just hoped she didn't notice, and if she did he'd say he's sick.

                He was convinced she was a witch or cursed him or something, because this didn't happen with ANY other toon.

                Suddenly the elevator chimed and the door opened. He actually felt relieved, it was getting stuffy in there. The TV head used her ability to see there were two twisteds. A twisted version of himself and a twisted Boxten. He decided to try and be useful for once, and he walked around for a while, finding a machine.

                 The rubix cube and deer girl walked past him once, the cube looking concerned and the deer snickering at his head-banging, but besides that he was alone with his thoughts as he watched the machine slowly fill up with ichor.

                 Why was Bonnie the outlier? Why was she so weird? Did she also feel these? Was he just cra-

*ERR* He failed a skill check. Shit..

                   Right on cue, a twisted version of himself started to chase him. It was catching up quickly. He panted, his stamina and speed laughable. Just when he thought he was done for, Bonnie lept in front of him.

                  "SHOO! SCRAM!" She got in a fighting position, squaring up the twisted. The twisted seemed a bit intimidated, moving slower toward them. Suddenly, he felt hands wrap around him.

                   Before he could react, he was pulled over to Goob.

                   "Heya! Sorry I wasn't distracting the twisted!" Goob greeted.

                   "HEY!! I HATE HUGS AND I HATE YOU!!" Shrimpo said, annoyed at Goob.

                    Goob didn't seem to care. Suddenly, the elevator door opened. Apparently the others had managed to finish the other machines, and the one he was working on. He stomped back to the elevator, angry he couldn't be self-sufficient and had to let people save him.

                  "You did great back there, Bonnie!" Goob said to the boxer. Shrimpo was slumped in the corner again, but this time he was in earshot of their conversation.

                  "Thanks, you too! It's so cool we got to save a teammate, even if it was Shrimpo." Bonnie seemed to like hanging out with Goob. WAIT! WHY DID HE CARE ABOUT WHO SHE HANGS OUT WITH?? Moving past that, it was pissing him off how they were BASICALLY making fun of him so CLOSE to him.

                   "HEY!!! I HATE YOU BOTH!!!" Shrimpo yelled.

                    "Didya get enough hugs as a kid, Shrimpo?" Goob asked.

                   "WHAT?? WHY DO YOU CARE??? I HATE HUGS AND YOU!!!" He deflected, not answering the question.

                   "YOU TREE HUGGER AND, UH.." he paused, getting that familiar feeling in his stomach, and hoping she didn't notice anything.

                    "Look, do you wanna fight? Don't be an asshole to Goob, he saved you!" Bonnie talked for him. Shrimpo most definitely did not want to fight Bonnie. He didn't want to be near her and make the weird feelings go away.

                   "NO!! YOU SUCK AT FIGHTING!!!" She most definitely did not, having a medal or two, but he needed Bonnie and Goob to get off his case.

                  "Let's go Bon Bon, we shouldn't get in fights with teammates." Goob said,

                  "...FINE." She was pissed, but she reluctantly agreed. They left, leaving Shrimpo alone with his thoughts, as he often was.

                 Wait, why'd he call her BON BO-
