Locked in dreams | AU

Morning.

It was a rough morning for everyone.

Needle wanted to keep sleeping but she knew that she needed to convince everyone about her story before Nickel appeared. That was quite difficult for her in her current position. What happened with Pencil yesterday wouldn't help her at all. If Gelatin remembered anything she was cooked. And worse, if what she heard about Book was true... She needed to do something quick. She needed to get everyone's trust. So she decided to go and convince every object in Yoyle City before anything happened with Gelatin or Nickel.

She went out of her house and directed herself towards Fries's garden, she thought that convincing him would make her more believable to the others.

"Fries!" Needless to say approached him running with a worried expression.

"What?" Fries didn't looked at her.

"About yesterday..." Needle breathed fastly. "Nickel... He did something to Gelatin!"

"Are you sure that it wasn't you?" Fries kept watering the growtatoes.

"What.?! No!" Needle was annoyed with that comment. "Why would I?!"

"You were quite mad with him yesterday..." Fries still didn't changed his position.

"I SAVED him! I took it to the balls before he died!"

"Sorry I didn't heard you well... Did you said after you punched him?" Fries looked at her with a challenging smile.

Needle was raging. She almost lost it but she remembered to keep a good image. "Nickel punched him! Not me! And even if you don't believe me, maybe if Gelatin wakes up, he'll tell you everything!"

"Hah... Let's see what happens..."

"You don't have reasons to think that I did anything to him! I haven't done anything!"

"Yep. I have my reasons." Fries turned around to keep watering his plants.

"Yeah... We'll see what happens..." Needle walked away not so satisfied with her first talk. Maybe she should have started differently? Give more details? She was now walking towards her next destination, she would convince the easiest objects in her opinion.

Rocky and Woody.

"We're heading to the recovery center! Maybe there's something that could help us there..." GB said nervously.

"Uhh... Are you sure? We have two half dead objects in our house..."

"Yes... But... I-... Uhh..." Golf Ball couldn't get the words out of her. "I mean... There's something inside the recovery centers that can recover objects right?"

"You're implying that we could take that thing off and... Recover someone manually?" TB was interested.

"Yes! We could umm... Recover them!"

"I think it's a good idea but... How? We can't grab every single shattered piece of Ruby and recover her. We don't know what kind of thing does the recovering part of the recovery center."

"Uhh... We'll figure it out!" GB was stressed.

"Golfy, are you feeling okay?"

"To be honest... Not really..."
