"I'm so bored! When is the show even gonna start?" Marker wonders out loud, sitting next to Foldy. "I'm not sure," Foldy replies, "Hopefully soon." Tennis Ball and Golf Ball walk by and overhear this. "I'm pretty sure Two is still talking with the potential debuters." Golf Ball informs them. "But I agree that it has been taking a while!"
"Ice Cube, when did you get so small?" Book asks her friend. "Um, I don't remember, but I think it involved soup." Ice Cube replies. Book shrugs and says, "Well, just remember that I'm here to support you, and that I'm sorry that I've been controlling lately." She then turns to Gaty and Saw. "That goes for you girls too." she added.
"Well, I'm not sure what to say to that yet, Book." Gaty says, "I'll see if I can trust you later on though." "Yeah Book," Saw adds, I'm not sure what to think about you right now. "I understand" Book sighs, "I haven't been myself lately" "I trust you, Book!" Ice Cube says, consoling her best friend.
Bomby is playing catch with some of his friends, when Naily says something. "How do you think the people who left to join Four's crew are doing?" "Not sure," Bomby answers, "But I'm glad Gelatin left. I don't care if he supposedly dropped the attempts to use me as a tool" Donut catches the ball and tosses it back to Naily. "I agree. That was uncalled for," he says.
"Who do you think the debuter will be?" Eraser asks out loud. "I hope it's not Winner." Fries says, "But knowing the voters that's probably who's joining" "Well I hope someone more unique joins." Puffball remarks, adding, "Definitely not Winner."
"Hey guys," Barf Bag says in passing, "Do you know where a member of Death PACT might be?" "Well, Black Hole's over there," Bell turns her face toward the right. "Try that way." "Alright, thanks!" Barf Bag calls as she walks in the indicated direction.
"Do you want a fabulous new style? Then buy a-!" Yellow Face's new ad was interrupted by Tree. "Yellow Face, you have been playing ads for 6 months now. It's getting old." Tree walks away as Yellow Face responds, "Well try saying that when you actually want to buy something!"
Barf Bag had caught up to Black Hole, who was talking with Remote. "Black Hole," Barf Bag asks, "Do you think Two can recover people like Four can?" "Hmm, I don't know..." Black Hole says thoughtfully, "Why are you asking me?" "I think it's because you have been the accidental cause of a few deaths" Remote chimes in. "That's a good point." Black Hole admits, "But I'm sure Two will find a way to bring people back." Barf Bag thinks about it and then says, "Well, keep trying to prevent death anyway!" and walks away.
"I think that cloud looks like a piece of popcorn" Lightning says as he looks back down at Fanny. "What do you think it looks like?" He asks. "I hate cloud watching!" Fanny exclaims. "Well sorry! I'm just passing time!" Lightning retorts. "Now that one looks like... Cloudy?" "Hey there, Lightning!" Cloudy says, "Why don't you fly higher more often? You're missing out on some good sights!" "Oh right," Lightning says sheepishly, "I keep forgetting that I can fly. I just hover down here a lot I guess." "I hate flying!" Fanny says in her usual demeanor.
A musical blowing sound can be heard as the wind blows across Bottle's open top. "That tickles!" Bottle giggles. "Woah! Cool!" Nickel exclaims, "I wish I could do that!" "Well you do make a nice clink sound if you fall on a hard enough surface." Basketball says. "And I just make a rubbery sound on impact." Eggy starts wondering, "When did we start talking about what sounds we make?" "Oh sorry," Bottle apologizes, "I got distracted!" Eggy rolls her eyes as she meets up with Cake.
"What do you think Loser's up to with Four?" Cake asks Eggy. "I think he's doing fine. No need to worry about him." Eggy replies. "Hey speaking about telling people not to worry, where's Coiny?" she continues. Needle sits down next to them and answers, "I think I saw him with Pin. They've been spending a lot of time together lately."
"One, two, three, four, who do we think is an absolute bore...!" Coiny and Pin start as they play a game similar to pattycake. "Hey, thanks for cheering me up... again." Pin says as she smiles slightly. "No problem. I'm always here if you need me" Coiny smiles warmly, and Pin's smile widens a bit.
"Pen! what are you doing?" Snowball asks as he runs over to him. "Oh, just doing a little drawing to pass the time." Pen responds. "Well you look weird without your cap!" Snowball continues, "How can you even see what you're doing on the paper?" Pen sets down the paper and puts his cap back on. "I just get a feel for it I suppose" he shrugs. Snowball looks at the paper. "Any reason you drew that?" Snowball asks. "That's the only think to draw around here." Pen says, "Just burnt grass throughout all of this."
"Are you still watching that? I think TV could use a break" Robot Flower catches Grassy watching something on TV, and goes to turn him back off. "Grassy is still watching!" Grassy yells as he pushes Robot Flower out of the way, but due to her metal limbs the attempt failed. "Thanks for that," TV says, "I didn't want to watch a little kid's show all day." Grassy sits down and sighs.
"Woah there Clock!" Pillow stops Clock as he was walking by. "What's wrong?" he asks Pillow. "Rocky barfed here," she responds, "It's a big mess. It looks like he just barfed in a straight line or something." "Who's footprints are those then?" Clock points to barf footprints walking away from the main puddle. "That's mine." Pie says, "It doesn't really matter if I step in barf. I can always clean it off."
"That's what I envy about you, Pie." an oddly familiar voice says from behind her, "You don't seem to care about much!" "TWO?!" everyone exclaims as the green number shows up. "The one and only. And I brought someone!" A small blue lump walks out from behind Two. "I knew it," Fries groans, "It's boring old Winner!" "Hey!" Winner snaps. "I'm not boring at all!" and she sprouts a secret arm from her head, before hiding it again.
"Enough showing off hidden arms!" Two yells impatiently, "I think I know what's on everyone's minds!" "Yeah, like when will this game begin?" Tennis Ball says. "Exactly!" Two responds. "And it will begin soon!" Two jumps up into the air, and spawns a timer upon landing. The timer displays 1 minute and has a horn connected to it.
"Before I start the timer," Two resumes talking, "I should explain what's going to happen. You see, this will be a free-for-all deathmatch!" A few gasps can be heard, especially from Tree and Black Hole. "The rules are simple," Two explains, "It's every person for themselves. But I will allow you to team up with others... if you trust them that is."
"Wouldn't that be unfair?" Snowball asks. "I mean Black Hole can't be killed, and he could easily kill anyone, even if he doesn't like to kill" "We'll just see what happens to him" Two says vaguely, to which Black Hole replies, "I don't like how you said that."
Two presses a button on the timer, and it starts counting down. "You better figure out what you're gonna do, and where you're gonna go, soon! The game starts in less than a minute..."
