They were walking to a big room that looked like a court. Eddie looked at Richie scared and he mumbled:

"It's gonna be okay. Alright?"

He nodded. Stan and Martha walked behind them, and so did Sonia. They all sit and waited for half an hour, silent, until Michael, Eleanor, a guy who they had no idea who he was and someone they thought would be the judge appeared:

"You interrumpted my series time. I was just seeing the new movie "JUMANJI" it's to die for. I honestly can't with those guys"- she laughed loudly.

"Your honor, we have a serious business here"- Michael said.-" It appears that this group of people broke the rules."

"Excuse me?"-Sonia talked. "I have done nothing, I just happened to be in the same room as this guys when this happened!"

"Great, thanks Sonia."- Richie mumbled.

"These three have left the neighborhood with no permission to look for Mr. Richie."- Michael said again.-"Anyone cares to explain why?"

"I do."- Martha stood up.-"Why are you torturing us?"

The whole room felt silent and Eleanor, Michael and the judge exchanged looks.

"What are you talking about?"- Eleanor asked.

"Oh come on! This is all bullshirt and you know it! This is some kind of sick twisted test full of moments when you torture us to test our reactions! I'm not dumb!"

"How did you get to that conclusion?"- Eleanor looked interested.

"Him"- she pointed at Eddie.-"He's not my soulmate, as you say. I'm a lesbian!"- she yelled-"I like girls for forks sake you could have been smarter than that! Of course Eddie acts like a girl sometimes but.."

"HEY!"- Eddie yelled and Richie laughed.

"...But he's not a girl! This is TORTURE! It's not that difficult to get there!"

"It's true"- Stan continued.-"You tell everyone in the neighbor they have a soulmate and then I'm meant to be alone? When all I ever needed was someone to care and be there for me? That's torture!"

"YES!"- Eddie stood up- "Being in love with someone else and then having to deal with that soulmate crap? Finding yourself alone for a bit? Knowing the person you want to be with is here but you can't come near him? That's torture!"

Richie's eyes widened. The person he wanted to be with... he decided not to speak about that and stood up:

"Losing the person you cared about the most your whole life, right in front of your eyes. Wanting to give up aswell, being stopped by your friend Beverly."- Richie sighted-"Ending up being murdered for being gay and famous when your manager couldn't do that because society sucks, ending up in this so called "The Good Place" when nothing is good! Having a soulmate with a forking close name to the person you actually love and with the same problems, finding out he's dating the person you like's mother and when you finally reunite with them, being stuck here with you guys telling us we made a mistake! Let me tell you this, it wasn't a mistake. If he hadn't come looking for me, I would have gone look for him myself. I've been pretending my whole life that I'm not in love with Eddie and I can't do that anymore. You can't punish us for something as natural as this. It's a rule, yes we broke it. Love makes that sometimes. Are you going to tell me you've never been in love?"

The room felt silent again and Eddie was shocked by now.

"You.. you love me?"- he asked with those desperate eyes Richie loved so much.

"I kinda do, Eds"

"No. Take that back. No Eds. This was a cute moment you asshole. You always have to ruin it!"- Eddie yelled.
