MePhone was actually going to explain the cave mining challenge, but he then discovered this challenge would be impossible now that everyone was so small. He had decided to cancel the challenge.

"Contestants, I've decided to cancel the challenge. I will think of an alternative, so you guys are free for now." He announced.

Everyone went to do their own thing.

Fan and Test Tube were talking, with the egg in between them.

"He seems so much bigger now that I'm so small." Fan said.

Test Tube chuckled and wrote something down on a notepad. She was thinking about how she could make an antidote despite being small. She decided to ask Fan.

"Fan?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any ideas that could help me make this antidote despite being small?"

Fan thought. He then smiled.

"I can help you reach things if you want. I like working with you a lot, so I'd love helping you out." Fan said, blushing a bit.

Test Tube blushed too.

"That means a lot, thank you. Let's go to my lab!" She said, standing up.

Fan stood up too, grabbed the egg and followed Test Tube to the DrFizz machine. Test Tube already saw she couldn't reach the buttons.

"I have an idea for that. I'll make a step with my hands and you'll step on it." Fan said.

Test Tube smiled and let Fan help her. Fan set the egg down and made a little cup of his hands. Test Tube stepped on it so she could reach higher. Fan slowly lifted his hands so Test Tube could get even higher.

Test Tube pressed in the code and the tube to her lab appeared. Fan carefully set Test Tube down, grabbed his egg again and the two got sucked up.

"Thanks." Test Tube said when the two were down in the lab. "Let's get to work. I have all the stuff right here. Now we just have to figure out what we need to make the antidote."

Meanwhile, on the field, Microphone had made her way to the forest. She really had to tell Taco what happened.

She reached the place where she met Taco for the first time, which took way longer than usual since her legs were shorter now.

She saw Taco sitting on the tree trunk and sighed in relief.

"Taco!" She called.

"Mic? What happened to you?" Taco asked when she saw how small Microphone had become.

Mic tried to climb on the tree trunk. Taco helped her by scooping her up. Once Microphone sat next to Taco comfortably, she explained the whole story.

"And Test Tube is making an antidote?" Taco asked.

"Well, she's trying to. She and Fan got into the lab recently." Microphone replied.

"Well, despite being small, you still got an advantage." Taco said. "Because you have me! I can still help you."

"Wow, it really feels like I have a mom now." Mic mumbled.

"Well, just let me know when you need me." Taco said, as if she hadn't heard Mic mumbling.

The two kept talking for a while. Mic then decided it was time for her to go.

"I have to go now." Mic said, standing up and jumping off the trunk. "Bye."

Taco waved as Mic left. She smiled. Mic was even cuter now that she was so small. So huggable...

Knife was walking around, pacing back and forth. He didn't like being small one bit. He then saw Microphone walking out of the forest. He already suspected her a bit, so he decided to ask what she was doing in the forest.

"Microphone, what were you doing in the forest?" Knife asked, walking up to Mic.

Mic felt nervous.

"Uhh... I... zilch!" She said.

Knife stared at her blankly. Mic laughed awkwardly.

"Hehehe... hehe.. . Ok bye!" She then ran off, which made Knife even more suspicious of her.

Lightbulb was walking around, sulking. She saw Baseball sitting on the dock and sat down next to him.

"Hi." She said.

Baseball sighed. "Hey..."

"Do you miss your friend too?"

Baseball looked at Lightbulb. He remembered when Paintbrush was eliminated. Lightbulb remembered it too. She tried to keep calm and tried her hardest not to cry, but when everyone left, she had stayed there, bawling her eyes out, because she missed them. She really missed Paintbrush. Baseball remembered Nickel's elimination too. He really missed him.

"If you're talking about Nickel, then yes, I miss him. To me, he was more than just a friend. He was, and still is, my crush... I haven't even had the chance to tell him yet. Now I'm here alone, with Suitcase as my only... ally..." he hesitated because he didn't think he could call Suitcase his friend anymore after what all happened between their alliance and with Balloon and Nickel becoming toxic to Suitcase and Balloon.

"I know how you feel. Painty was the only thing that kept me alive here. They... I... I wish I could see them every day like before last episode." Lightbulb said.

Baseball smiled sadly. Lightbulb did too. A few little tears were visible in her eyes.

"Hey guys." The two suddenly heard.

It was Suitcase. She was just taking a quick walk around the field, checking how everyone was doing. Suitcase sat down next to Lightbulb and Baseball, which was easy since they were all so small now.

"Hey Suitcase." Baseball said in a monotone voice.

"Hey..." Lightbulb said.

"Are you guys ok?" Suitcase asked worriedly.

"Yeah yeah, we're fine, don't worry..." Lightbulb replied.

Meanwhile, MePhone was thinking of a challenge.

"Hmmm, what about... nah." MePhone spoke.

"Mistah Phone, I think I have an idea!" Toilet spoke.

MePhone ignored him.

"Sir, I really think you should listen to Toilet. I think his idea might be effective." MePad said.

MePhone sighed.

"Fine, what is the idea?" He asked, in a tone as if he's forced to have a conversation.

"What about a painting contest?"

"Toilet, we already did a painting challenge last episode." MePhone said with a disappointed sigh.

"But you couldn't check all the paintings because Paintbrush burned them with his-"

"According to last episode, Paintbrush appears to be a they." MePad interrupted Toilet.

"Their fire." Toilet finished his story.

"So you mean we make them do a rematch?" MePhone asked.

"Yes!" Toilet replies happily.

"Hm, that might work. Good job, Toilet, you finally did something." MePhone said.

"YAAAAAY MISTAH PHONE APPRECIATES MEEEE!!!" Toilet shouted, floating around happily.

MePhone called the contestants. When all the contestants were there, MePhone explained the challenge.

"Ok contestants, I thought of a new challenge. Surprisingly, Toilet came up with this idea. He came up with a painting challenge rematch, because last episode, Paintbrush destroyed them with their fiery temper and therefore, I couldn't check all your paintings. So, have fun painting again. And don't make the same mistake Paintbrush did by painting Cobs."

"Wait why can't we-" "Go."

Everyone started painting on their canvases, wich MePhone had generated, but this time they were in baby size.

Toilet was adoring the little objects.

Eventually, everyone had finished their painting. Test Tube drew a rocket because she was out of ideas, Fan drew the egg with some hearts around it, Baseball drew black darkness, Microphone drew some music notes because she didn't want to seem suspicious, Knife drew his own name with graffiti, Suitcase drew one of the recent hallucinations she had, Lightbulb had drawn herself and Paintbrush, holding hands. "I miss you" was written above it.

"Time's up, time to check your paintings." MePhone said.

Eventually, Lightbulb deserved immunity because MePhone found her drawing the best out of them. Everyone had some free time before it was elimination time.

During the elimination ceremony, it was very tense. Fan ended up being eliminated, because he received the most amount of votes.

"Well, Fan, looks like you're out." MePhone said.

Fan stood up, sighing.

"Well, it was fun, but now it's time to go..." he said.

"Fan, can I keep the egg with me?" Test Tube asked. "I really wanna know what's inside it."

Fan shook his head.

"I'd rather keep him." He said.

"Fan, I could become the best scientist if i discover a new species! So please give me the egg." Test Tube said.

Fan shook his head again.

"Test Tube, I Wanna be a good dad to him. You're not experimenting on him." Fan felt tears burn behind his eyes.

Test Tube didn't listen. She grabbed the egg. Everyone watched with interest.

"Fan, just give me the egg already." She said, trying to pull the egg away from Fan.

"What about the antidote?! Well?!" Fan raised his voice, getting a bit mad now.

Test Tube remembered it. She sighed, letting go of the egg.

"You're right, I'm sorry." She said.

"How are you gonna do that without my help?" Fan asked. "You won't be able to reach anything."

"I... I will think of something..." Test Tube said.

Fan nodded. Lightbulb walked up to Fan. She hugged him.

"Say hello to Painty for me." She said.

"I will." Fan replied.

Test Tube then hugged Fan.

""I'm gonna miss you." She said in all honesty.

"I'll miss you too." Fan replied.

Fan then stepped through the portal, which seemed way bigger, and disappeared.

Test Tube buried her face in her hands. Lightbulb laid a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
