1/2 Half Part

The three entered the house...the house looked to be normal but old. The house looked much more dirty from the outside with all the plants growing over a few parts, yet the inside was cozy...yet dark.

...Come sit down...let's have a chat

Tari: Who are you?

...

Mario: Do you have spagetti?

...No

Mario: WAAAAA

Meggy: Red, stop your outburst please. You will get spagetti when we get back to the castle.

...Castle?...you three live...in a castle?

Tari: Well, kinda. We have our own homes but we all just hang out there with...or...used to hang out with...two friends we had who are missing.

Silence filled the house for a bit, until...Cheer stepped into the light.

Cheer: Who were the two missing people?

Meggy: Our friends. They both looked much alike. One wore blue while the other wore purple. Here is a picture of the two. We just hope they are okay.

Cheer took the photo and looked at it...the picture brought a sense of familiarity to him...but sadly, he couldn't realise...or even tell who they were.

Sorrow soon came into the room, noticing the three. He was silent as he went over to Cheer, looking at the photograph. He felt the same feeling Cheer felt. They just stared, making the situation feel awkward.

Sorrow: S-so you three are...looking for them?

Tari: Yes. We haven't seen them in about a month. You two look very similar to them. Your outfits have similar colors.

Cheer: Yeah...I can see that. But we aren't them.

Meanwhile Sorrow just stood there, fidgeting with his gloves, thinking in his head "They look so similar to us...the hair...the colors...overals...eye color...are we them? Are we not? Are we just..." He started to overthink, and slightly panic. He started shaking and breathing heavily. Tari noticed and got worried...she went over to him and put her hand on his shoulder and-

Meggy:...

Mario:...

...Everything went silent...Mario and Meggy's eyes widened at what they saw, Meggy covered her mouth from shock. Tari gasped and stumbled back as her eyes teared up and her arm started...bleeding.

Cheer stood there, his eye glowing. Sorrow was shaking. When Tari touched Sorrow on the shoulder, Cheer noticed and overreacted as he thought that this new guest in their house was gonna harm them, so Cheer had instantly grabbed his axe and chopped into Tari's forearm in a flash.

Meggy then stepped forward in anger and slapped the axe out of Cheer's hands and shouted

Meggy: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO HER!?

Mario just went over to Tari, trying to help her and comfort her. Sorrow just stepped back, now scared and worried.

Cheer: I thought she was...she was gonna...

Meggy: SHE WAS GONNA WHAT?

Cheer: Hurt...Sorrow...

Meggy was furious, but held her anger back as she just glared, and then went over to Tari to bandage her wound.

Cheer stood there...his bloody axe next to him on the ground. At that moment, he felt an overwhelming amount of guilt...but he didn't know why. He felt like he had...hurt an old friend...an old friend he can't even remember.

Sorrow just ran away, ran outside the house. Cheer then soon followed after, but not before he glanced back at the three.

Cheer: Im...sorry...stay here...for the night please. Until she recovers enough. You three can use my room for the night.

And with that, Cheer left. Leaving the tree in their home. Meggy and Mario both helped Tari to Cheer's room to let her rest. It was getting late and dark. Tari layed down in the comfy bed and covered herself with the cyan and white striped blanket. Mario layed down on the carpet and passed out after their long walk, snorring.

Meggy sat on the side of the bed, keeping Tari company.

Meggy: What a monster.

Tari: No...he is not a monster.

Meggy: What do you mean? He cut into your arm without any reason or hesitation!

Tari: But he apologised, and he probably didn't mean it. He was just trying to protect him. We are strangers to them afterall, he probably had no idea what my intention was and was just being protective.

Meggy: Still, he shouldn't have done that. Who just has an axe on hand?

Tari: Maybe he shouldn't, but atleast he apologised. And atleast the cut wasn't too deep.

Meggy: I guess. Just rest, I will stay by your side and keep watch until they come back...I don't trust them yet.

Tari: Just don't attack them, please.

Meggy: Fine. But If they try, I will have no choice but to kick their asses.

Tari chuckled a bit at that last part and smiled, soon shutting her eyes and falling asleep. Meggy stayed on the edge of the bed, just looking at Tari ocassionally and looking out the window to check when the two masked people came back. She couldn't help but wonder who thoes two were really, while she watched the sky, it began to rain out there.

Meggy: Just hope they won't cause more trouble...

To be continued...
