Forgive and Forget [GOING THROUGH REWRITE]

Old Faces, Hopefully New Friends

Wandering through the forest was fun for Timpani, Blumiere, and Nastasia, it helped them pass time too. Whether it was finding flowers to annoy O'Chunks with, or just Timpani and Blumiere playing games, they always found something to do.

Timpani and Nastasia were chasing each other around, hiding, and just playing in general. Unfortunately, Blumiere had something to do today. This time, Nastasia was hiding from Timpani. She was in a tree, very much so out of sight for Timpani. To Nastasia's delight, she didn't see Timpani anywhere, so she decided to take a nice long nap while she waited.

Timpani, on the other hand, was starting to get worried about Nastasia. She looked everywhere, but Nastasia was nowhere to be found. Timpani sighed and sat on a log, resting her chin in her hands. "Nastasia, where could you be? I'm actually kind of scared now..."

Timpani rubbed her temples, and attempted to get up. But she was held back by her hair being stuck on a branch connected to the log, because story plot! Timpani grunted, trying to rip her hair free. She called out for Nastasia, but no one came. She huffed and sat down on the log again, quite annoyed because of her hair being stuck. She tugged on her hair again, but to no avail. Timpani just gave up and sat there.

She waited and waited for 10 minutes, and she finally felt someone trying to help her. "Finally, there you are Nastasia!" She waited for Nastasia to speak, but she didn't. Instead, a light chuckle from a male. Timpani was puzzled, and she turned around, thinking it would be Blumiere. But instead, it was the gremlin Himself. Timpani started to scream, but He put a finger over her mouth as He continued to mess with her hair. Eventually, he got it off, and started to walk away.

"Wait!" Timpani called out, running after Him. She stopped in front of Him, and He stopped. He looked up at her with a blank stare, and moved out of the way to continue leaving. Timpani stopped him again, and He groaned.

"What do you want? I know you want me to leave, so just let me," He spat out. He yawned, and stretched His arms. Timpani picked Him up, and He screeched. "LET ME GO JEEZUS! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO LEAVE!"

Timpani stared at Him through the mask with that 'I know something' motherly look. He stared back awkwardly, trying not to look at her in the eyes. She stared for a few minutes, then carried Him around with her. He squirmed in protest, but her grip did not loosen. He gave up, and laid there limp with a dissatisfied mask.

Timpani eventually found Nastasia napping in a tree, and Timpani threw a rock at her. She mumbled under her breath as he hopped out of the tree and walked over. "About time you found me. I've been waiting for hours!" she chuckled, but then saw Timpani was holding something or someone. "What's that?"

"More like who's that?"

Timpani took the tired gremlin out from behind her back, and Nastasia screeched like a 3 year old.

"What in the Underwhere is he doing here!?"

"He helped me get my hair unstuck from a branch. Nastasia, quit screaming."

He was so exhausted that His eye bags were visible on the mask. Makes sense though, because the mask copies His face almost exactly. Nastasia and Timpani both stared at Him as He weakly tried to wiggle His way out of Timpani's grasp. Timpani put Him down, and He started walking away until Timpani dragged Him back again. "Come on, let me..." He yawned as He finished His sentence, "let me go already."

"No, you look like you haven't slept in weeks!"

"Being in a place filled with your own echoing cries will do that. It didn't matter there for 7 years, but being back here made it worse."

"Yeah, um, no. You're coming back with us. Yeah, we still hate you, but you need sleep."

"And you aren't getting a say in thi-"

He was already on the ground, snoring away. Nastasia facepalmed and shook her head. They picked Him up and made their way back to Castle Bleck.
