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

21- Happy Place

Marshmallow's P.O.V

What was she doing..?

Bow was floating in the air motionless and soulless. I was kinda worried about her, but Apple and Dough were completely freaking out.

'What if Evil Leafy sucked the spirit out of her!?!?' Cried Apple.

'Look, that's not going to happen.' I said.

'Well it could happen!' Mumbled a shaking Dough.

When she woke up, my first instinct was to ask her what the hell she was doing.

'BOW, WHAT WAS THAT!? THOSE TWO WERE PARALYSED WITH FEAR!' I yelled at her.

'Look, I'll explain!' she laughed.

'Look, as a ghost, you're able to cloud people's thoughts with negative memories and even talk to them inside their mind. I was able to manipulate them and give the person happy thoughts instead,' she beamed, 'Leafy is alright.'

We all sighed, but Apple and Bow kept on shaking in each other's arms. Even Bow couldn't pull them off. But we had to ask ourselves one question, what now? We missed the chance to escape because Bow didn't want anyone seeing her as a ghost. Evil Leafy was here but we couldn't defeat him, what were we supposed to do?

'So.. what now?' I asked.

'Oh, well, Evil Leafy can't really be stopped. The only way to buy the others some time is either for Leafy to go back to her normal self and commit suicide, or she has to get rid of her negative thoughts. If I keep on giving her positive thoughts, she'll become easier to defeat! We still play a key part.' Explained Bow.

'Wait, can you send a message to the others?' Apple asked.

'Well, I think. I'm only supposed to use the power when given victim has a problem, so we're gonna need someone who has one.' Bow sighed back.

'Wait, I got it! Isn't Suitcase going through anxiety right now!?' I asked enthusiastically.

'Well, I think-' started Apple.

'Then send her the message!' I interrupted.

'well, sure, it's worth a try.' She said as she went back to her still, soulless form. Apple and Dough calmed down a bit, yet still looked like a spider was crawling up their back. I was already used to it somehow. Bow is super unpredictable, and after dealing with her for such a long time I've warmed up to it. I sat on the stool and kicked my legs as I looked around the damaged wasteland I had already studied atom by atom a hundred times.

Diamond's P.O.V

After reaching what is now a plain field of dark green grass and pink flowers blooming in the patter of our footsteps, I noticed something warm in my hand. I opened it and there was the pebble again. I finally put two and two together. A yellow crystal that made anyone near feel warm. What was Loser? A yellow crystal that made anyone near feel warm. 

I knocked on the jawbreaker and asked Loser, 'Hey, so I'm only here because of this pebble thing and it looks a lot like you, do you know about this?'

'I'll explain more about it when we get to EXIT, I promise.' He said. I nodded and continued humming the tune to 'Waluigi Pinball' with everyone else. It was hilarious trying to teach them some of my favourite video game songs. It was hilarious seeing everyone sing 'Katamari on the Rocks', it turned out Pin was a good singer. She managed to learn the songs easily aswell.

We found our way to Four and he waved at us.

'Hey, Four!' Pin said.

'Nice to see you, Pin!' Four replied to her as they both hugged. I guess seeing someone they were familiar with would never get old for now, considering the circumstances. We all held his hand and he shoved us all in his mouth. The white got old at this point, but I could hear Paper, Loser and Pin squeal as high-pitched as they could go. When we landed, me and Microphone grabbed onto the branches of Tall Tree (we gave it a name) as we practised, and we watched the others plummet to the floor with a thud. We safely climbed down and helped them up. It was then I noticed a crack in the jawbreaker.
