I help the rest of the toons out of the burning building, making our way as far away from it. We watch as it falls apart, some of us crying, Toodles hugging me the entire time. I sigh and wipe a tear from my eye, looking around.

''Is everyone okay and alive?'' I yell out. All of them nod, and Dandy steps forward.

''I got us some tents up in the hills. Lets spend our days there till Gardenview is fixed.'' Dandy smiles and leads the Toons to the hills. They all follow him besides Toodles. She turns to me with a worried expression.

''Where's Glisten?''

My eyes widen and I look at the pack after Dandy. I can't see Glisten, and he is not with us. It means he is still in the building. I hesitate and yell:

''WAIT! Has any of you guys seen Glisten?!'' I panic. They shake their heads and Teagan rolls her eyes.

''Cmon you old man. I bet the joyride is somewhere safe. Don't waste your time on him and cmon. We have to get somewhere warm and quick! Im sure he'll find his way to us at some point!'' she says. I feel hesitant and my gut says theres something very bad going on with Glisten. I push it behind my head and nod, running after the crew. Toodles hesitates but follows us, as we make our way to the hills.

Dandy lights a fire and all the toons choose the tents they will be sleeping and sharing. Tisha, Gigi, Connie, Looey and Teagan settle in one tent, and I just pick a tent with Toodles, I, Cosmo, sprout and Boxten. As I sit down to my bed, I can't help but think about where Glisten was. My gut was still screaming at me that something bad mustve happened to me, but Cosmo placed his hand onto my shoulder, smiling at me gently.

''I know you are worried about Glisten, but he'll be fine! Me and Sprout know him, and we know he can be pretty selfish and unpredictable, but he will appear once he is ready! Relax you old man. Your boyfriend is fine.'' he comforts. I sigh and relax, nodding.

''Maybe you and Teagan are correct. Maybe I'm just overreacting.'' I nod and sigh in relief, taking my mind out of my boyfriend. Sprout nods and agrees with Cosmo. Three people is enough to convince me he's fine right? right..?

Mid conversation with Sprout, Dandy walks to the tent, holding five plastic boxes of food. He hands them to us and I open the package, digging in since I was pretty hungry anyways. The others start eating too and the food kinda relaxes me more too about the entire situation regarding Glisten. Toodles was resting her head against my hand, chewing on her food. I wrap my arm around her and she whines, worried about something.

''Everything alright with you kiddo?'' I ask. She whines and shakes her head. I turn to face her and she looks up at me.

''No. Im worried about papa.'' she says. I nod and sigh, agreeing with her.

''I understand. But he's fine. Get some sleep.'' I smile and run my hand through her head, patting her head a bit before helping her go to bed. She closes her eyes and mumbles something before falling asleep. I sigh and place the empty plastic packs to the trash and heading for a walk, getting my mind off of everything that happened today.

[GLISTEN]

I slowly blink my way to life, coughing up all the smoke and blinking for a few seconds to restore my vision. Everything was burned down. I slowly got up from the bathroom floor, coughing up alot of smoke. I think that was like one night worth of smoke in my lungs right now. I don't even know how I am awake right now. I rub my eyes a little and make my way to my room, it all being burnt to crisp. I hold my tears in as I walk to my broken vanity, seeing all the makeup just ruined.

''Oh my god thats thousands of dollars worth of makeup just gone in one fire.. Who would do such a thing!'' I say to myself, stopping a little bit to cough every now and then. I just open my wardrobe and take the least damaged largest bag I own, packing all the non damaged stuff there and heading to my door, kicking it open cause now everything was blocking it beforehand, were burnt to crisp. It opens up easily and I finally see what was blocking it:

An entire large glass wardrobe.

It was yellow too so it wasn't too hard to place a finger on who blocked me into my own room. I take my phone out and take a picture of it, scanning for a name in the furniture. I end up finding it rather easily at the bottom.

''Teagan.'' I read out loud and grin, taking a photo of that too. This bitch is so fucking ruined after I show this to everyone.

I kick the wardrobe away from the door and walk around the ruins of Gardenview. Everything was damaged and not a lot was left untouched. I sigh and cough again, taking a break every now and then just to cough.

''Oh my god this smoke is getting to my lungs.. I need to get the fuck out of here.'' I cough more, saliva pouring out of my mouth. I was thirsty and smoke was everywhere. I needed to get out.

I follow the ruined walls to the doors, them not existing anymore due to the massive fire. I push all the glass away and cover myself a little with my hands, stepping out of the ruined Gardenview.

''f-fuck.. where the fuck is everyone?'' I look around, being left with absolutely nothing but large hills surrounding the gardenview. I cough up the last of the smoke in my lungs and look at my outfit. Disgusting.

''Okay I need to get the fuck out of here and find a pond where I can clean myself up.'' I make that my goal and head behind the gardenview, hopping over some small hills and heading to the woods nearby, looking for any big source of water.
