I sit in the closet, making it a ritual now to be in there. Occasionally I'd go grab food that I left in the doorway, but stayed in the closet. The trio sometimes came in to hang out, but other than that, nothing up. Oops hasn't gone outta of her room since our little "talk". The trio are beginning to get worried. I have finished half of the Harry Potter series now. Purple had to step up as temporary captain due to Oops not coming out of her room. It was a big responsibility, but by the way she handled it, I could almost say this had happened before.

The trio were just quietly operating the ship. It had already left Earth a while ago, and was just cruising through space. They didn't really have a set location in mind. I close my book, bored of reading now. I get up and walk out of the closet. Everyone turns towards me, shocked to see me leaving the closet.I stop, feeling exposed now.Everyone kinda looks away, not wanting to make me feel uncomfortable with all of this attention.Red keeps looking at me, though"Hey, Libby. Been a while since you've come out of that closet. It's good to see you."

" I just wanted some time alone, I guess," I shrug

"That's fair, after the...incident, anyone would wanna be alone after that,"

"yeah..." I grab the bag of food and looked through it.There was one particular one that stuck out to you. A large pineapple. I grab the pineapple "did you seriously get a pineapple?"

"It's fruit!" Green says with a shrug.

"Is there something wrong with pineapple?" I look at the pineapple with a hurt look, but mask it as I put it back.

"no, nothing wrong with them..."* Green seemed to understand though, frowning.

"Guys, we need to burn that pineapple,"

"What-?"

" But why..?"

"Can't you see it's hurting her? We need to get rid of it!" Green grabs the pineapple and throws the pineapple into a hatch in the wall. After Green shuts the hatch, I can see through the glass that the pineapple is completely obliterated

" welp...."

Green grins " Don't worry, I got your back, girl," I look at green

" thanks..." I give an unsure smile as I look back out the window, just staring. Something whizzes past the window. It's a cracked jar. I look out the side of the window, but couldn't see it anymore. However, what I could see was a series of cracked jars.They slowly float by, ominously " so many jars...."

"Jars?" Green questions as she walks over. "Oh, those are... " she cringes. "you-know-who's jars. She screams into them. But sometimes she breaks them, so she throws them out the window. She must be screaming a lot."

" huh..."

"Don't worry about it. Oops will come around, and she'll get over this. She always does," Red says.

"I'm not worried, Red." Green says.

"You seem like you are. I can tell that you are."

" Okay, so what if I'm worried about her? I think we all are!" Green gets up. "I'm gonna go talk to her."

" It's not gonna work, Green." Green didn't listen, she went anyways Red sighs. I turn to Red.

"how long does it take her to calm down?"

"Not long, really. Maybe a week. Maybe a month if she's really pissed off. Though she's been mad for 41 years before, she could do that again,"

"Red, sweetheart, you're not helping."
