“Has anyone seen Caboose?” Wash asked. Though in space, the Reds, Blues, and Ex-Freelancers should still celebrate holidays. And because Halloween was coming, it made sense to do something for the occasion. Especially when Donut practically forced everyone to participate in making decorations and costumes.
“Nope. Caboose was with me earlier helping me make costumes for everyone. Then he mumbled something and left.” Donut says. Wash looks around at the others and they all shook their heads and shrugged. Sighing, he starts to walk off in search of the missing Blue.
“Why do you care about where Caboose is? As far as I can tell, he’ll come back on his own or get lost trying to come back.” Tucker says. “Its not right to leave Caboose all alone out there. He’s a person like the rest of us. And you just nominated yourself to help look for him.” Wash says.
“Ah fuckberries. Why me though? Why not Carolina or Simmons?” Tucker asked. “Because Carolina is busy supervising the Halloween preparations. And do you really think Sarge would let me take Simmons just to find Caboose? Seriously Tucker, try thinking before speaking.” Wash says.
“You know, I get the feeling you just don’t want to be alone because of the spooky season.” Tucker says. Wash starts walking again and Tucker follows. “That’s not why. If Caboose is hurt, it’ll take both of our strength to carry him back to base. Don’t turn this into your horror romance movies.” Wash says.
“Dude, the signs are obvious! And if you think that shit like that won’t happen, you better believe I’ll savor the moment when I record you witnessing that I was right. The stuff they show in horror films can still fucking happen. Especially since we still don’t know what creatures exist on Iris.” Tucker says.
Wash groans and debates in his head if bringing Tucker along was actually a good idea. The two continue walking until they find Caboose’s helmet just outside of a forest. Wash and Tucker exchange a glance at each other. Tucker even gulps in fear.
“Okay, so Caboose is probably dead. Let’s head back before the same thing happens to us!” Tucker says quickly. Wash grabs Tucker’s wrist to keep him from leaving. “We still need to find the rest of him. He’s not dead until we find his body.” Wash says shakily.
Wash picks up Caboose’s helmet and started dragging Tucker into the forest until Tucker continued to follow. As they traveled deeper into the forest, they could hear the sound of leaves rustling and a voice.
Coming into a clearing, Wash and Tucker are surprised to find Caboose playing with some animals. And they all had tiny hats for costumes. “Caboose, what the fuck are you doing?” Tucker asked.
Caboose looks up and waves to his friends. “Hi Agent Washingtub. Hi Tucker. I’m just dressing my friends up for Muffin Man's Halloween party. Isn’t that right, Suzie?” Caboose coos. The creature that resembled a squirrel looked up.
“You named them?” Wash asked. Caboose nods, his fluffy hair bouncing. “Just like Mr. Fluffles the kitten. He’s around here somewhere…” Caboose says looking around for the kitten.
Wash looked around until he felt something climbing him. “There he is! Mr. Fluffles is on Washingtub’s shoulder. Come get your pirate patch back on for the party.” Caboose says. The kitten mews jumping off of Wash's shoulder and lands on the ground in front of Caboose.
“Uh, Caboose? We need you to get back to the base so Donut can start the party.” Wash says. “Well duh. I was coming back with my animal friends joining us. Maybe because its Halloween, Church’s Ghost will return!” Caboose says, eyes beaming.
“Maybe. But you’ll only know once we get back to base.” Tucker says. Wash hands Caboose his helmet. Caboose puts it back on and stands up to follow. While they were walking out, Caboose was telling stories of things he saw while coming into the forest. One of these stories caught Wash and Tucker’s attention.
“I was walking around the forest when I saw this window. A girl with purple hair and purple eyes was on the other side with some other people. Six of them looked like ninjas. There a a girl with yellow eyes and a person wearing purple armor. And they were talking about about how that universe was going to be destroyed if the dark purple lady didn’t get the light purple lady. And there was fighting and orbs going to the ninjas and the light purple lady saying elemental? She was like super powerful and said that she would protect every reality and universe from dark purple lady.” Caboose says.
“I didn’t understand anything he just said, did you Wash?” Tucker asked. “So you’re saying you found a portal to another universe, Caboose?” Wash asks. Caboose nods. “What are you fucking talking about, Wash? Is something going to happen to us?” Tucker asked worried.
“I don’t know. Let’s just get back to base so Donut could start his Halloween party.” Wash says. “Seriously? This sounds like we’re going to be attacked by another crazy bad guy that can travel to any universe. What other universes are there? TV shows, movies, books, videogames as other universes?” Tucker asked. “I don’t know, okay. All I know is that we need to worry about the present and not the future. Maybe Caboose imagined it.” Wash suggests.
“Bullshit. I want to know about this now. What do you know?” Tucker asked. “I swear I have no idea. Do you really think I would hide something like that from everyone?” Wash asked. “Yes.” Caboose answered. Wash groans but saw the base ahead.
“How about we just enjoy Donut’s party and not think about this?” Wash asks. “If you ask me, this universal chaos problem will spread to us sooner rather than later.” Tucker says. “Happy Halloween Guys!” Donut’s voice said. Caboose ran off with his animal friends and that left Wash and Tucker thinking about their future. Will their universe be attacked?»»-------------¤-------------««
