Apprehension (After finally deciding on a name I swear to god-)

7- Familiar Faces

A lot had changed since Baseball was eliminated.

Test Tube seemed pretty upset, then I remembered why. In episode 13, they had become sort of friends. 

Why did i vote him off?

Why did i remember that NOW!?!!?

Suitcase sat there crying the whole time after that. I saw a few people try to comfort her, but nothing worked. Both her alliance members and her best friends were gone.

I was going to try and help her, but she probably needed time for herself.

I looked over at MePhone and he seemed pretty upset, like sad upset. 

'Hey..'

I heard Microphone behind me and jumped a little.

'Oh, hi, Mic.'

'You seem a little upset, what is it?'

She sat down next to me and I told her about everything as she sat there playing with blades of grass.

'Oh, I'm sorry you feel like that..'

'Eh, it's alright.'

I looked over at her shoulder and MePhone ran off.

'Wait, follow me!' I ordered as I grabbed her by the arm and ran to catch up with him.

'Where are we going!?' She shouted.

'To follow MePhone!'

'WHY!?'

'Shhh!!'

She whispered this time, 'Why?..'

I whispered back, 'You'll see!'

I ran off into the clearing where I saw him dash off to, and at one point thought I lost him. Where was he going? 

After ages he finally stopped running, and so did we. But what I saw in front of me was something I never expected him to do. I saw him crying on his knees, and something was in front of him. I couldn't see from behind him, but i saw a bit of purple.

'It's MePad!' Mic said.

But i had to ask myself, was he going to tell the other contestants? At least one of them would notice him gone. But then he stopped crying. And out of nowhere, I noticed something warm in my hands. How did the pebble get there? I had forgotten I still had it. I sat down on the muddy floor and Microphone had to lean on a tree and catch her breath.

I stared at the pebble, and I wondered what it reminded me of..

There was a tree stool in the distance, so I started walking towards it in the slowest and most dramatic way I could.

I sat down and looked at the pebble. Then the stool. It went on for ages. I could've sworn there was another show like I.I, but i wasn't sure. Something to do about an island? 

Then out of nowhere, I imagined something.

A four,

and an X.

Then I thought, hey, if I randomly thought about it I should draw it!

'Where did you go?'

It was microphone, and she seemed to have realised I was gone. I stopped what I was doing and shouted, 'OVER HERE, THIS WAY!'

I heard rapid footsteps, and then she caught up with me.

'Why did you run off?'

'Wait a sec..'

I drew the four and the X, but i still wondered what they were. 

Then we heard music.

It sounded like a space thing, but then the pebble started to burn.

'OW!' I screamed as I dropped it.

The four and the X seemed to glow, then it went white.

After what felt like barely a millisecond, things returned to normal. I looked over and Mic was as stunned as I was.

I looked in front of me and there stood a blue Four and a yellow X.
