Goob's POV:

"Hey bro!" Scraps says to me in a cheerful tone as I get out of the elevator.

"Hi Scraps!" I say in a cheerful tone back.

"So, how was the run?" She asked. I know she didn't mean to be harmful, but I winced a little. "Did someone hurt you..?"

"No... alright, lemme tell you in full detail." I began storytelling.

"On the run, there was me, Shrimpo, Teagan, Poppy, Boxten, Gigi, Toodles, and Brightney. On floor one, Toodles already got hit because she wasn't careful! On floor two, Brightney got hit because I accidentally attracted the twisteds to her... and what makes it worse was that Dandy wasn't selling very useful items." I took a breath to sigh.

"Later on, Shrimpo was pestering everyone because he got hit. On floor six I confronted him."
Scraps was listening, intrigued. She nodded with a sly smile on her face.

"It started out like this: 'Hey Shrimpo!'
'Go away.'
'Are you okay? You're at two hearts!'
'OBVIOUSLY NOT. And you're over here, waltzing with three hearts.'
'I-I didn't mean to!'
'Good. Now buzz off.'

"I felt sad and I thought that Shrimpo felt sad, so I hugged him!" I looked at the face Scraps was making. "Is it alright for me to hug Shrimpo?"

"Of course! You can hug anyone, and anything that you'd like!" She waves it off.

"Alright, sis. Ooh! I forgot, tonight I'm baking cookies with Cosmo and Sprout! See ya!" I wave goodbye with my claws, and Scraps waves back. She looks proud of me. YAY!

Scraps' POV:

As I wave back, I close the door and sit at my desk. What to draw... a-ha! I grab out a blank sheet of paper, with my favorite crayons. I wonder who'll get my crayons when I'm gone. Anyways, back to drawing! I concentrate hard, knowing that Goob will approve of it, and maybe Shrimpo too! It's a lot harder to draw with claws than you think. Occasionally, my claws mess up and I smudge a line. I decide not to use black again, because if I smudge it then my whole picture is ruined. I add some hearts for extra details.

"Scraaaps!" Poppy's voice echos through the hallway. "Scraps! Ya there?"

"Yep!" I open the door to see Poppy and poor Boxten being dragged behind her.

"Do you mind if the four of us do a movie night?"

"Four? I only see...oh..." I see Glisten slow-strutting into view. "Why'd you have to invite HIM?" I whisper to Poppy. Glisten checks his nonexistent nails.

"Uh... Boxten suggested it! Right Boxy?"

"U-uh...yeah..." He guiltily says. "Sor-"

"No need to say sorry! You're always forgiven!" Poppy reassures him. "Well, unless you're Shrimpo." She and Boxten laugh, and eventually Glisten joins in too.

"Yeah, and he's so self-devoted." Glisten smiles. This made me stifle a chuckle. As we head to Poppy's room for the movie night, we decide that I'm sleeping with my sleeping bag in Poppy's room, and Glisten is sleeping outside of Boxten's room because he claims it's too "rubbish". His fault anyway, even though I feel like Boxten's going to let him in out of sorrow. Poor Boxten, getting bossed around. I enter Poppy's room, where she has everything set up. This is gonna be GREAT!
