"Gelatin, this is serious!"

Lunch was almost over, and Donut was planning on heading back to Twos office in a few moments, but needed an answer to his question desperately.

Ever since ..what Coiny did.. he had been thinking and analysing why he would've done that. There was a lot of possibilities, but the only person (who he was aware of) who had some sort of concern for what Donut was up to, was Gelatin.

He needed to know if he had even gave Coiny the slightest hint. It really filled him with anxienty - the mere thought of getting found out.

It wasn't even anything bad, but it would be worthy of torture in Twos eyes. "Gelatin!"

"What??? Dude, I literally did nothing. You're overreacting, again." He groused, Donut clenching his fist.

They were outside the cafeteria, just by the doors of it for some peace and quiet. It would be too much hassle going all the way to one of their rooms to speak about this, and Donut wanted to do it as soon as possible, so doing it later wasn't an option for him.

"You're lying! Do you know how significant this situation is??" He lowered his voice a bit "My secrets??"

Gelatin raised an eyebrow, unamused to be robbed of his free time. He was leaning his body against the wall, his arms crossed "Yeah! I do! Which is why I wouldn't tell someone like freak Coiny"

"You're pathetic.." he hissed, rubbing his head with his hand as he looked away from him, jaded by the back and forth of the conversation "..This is useless.."

"It's probably for a different reason. I mean, ya think they put some sort of camera in your room or??" Gelatin noticed some trash, picking it up with his foot and kicking it in the air constantly, as if it was a football. Donut shook his head, looking back up at him.

"Of course not! Thats against Twos rules. Two wouldn't allow for that to happen - and where would Coiny have gotten a camera from??"

"I dunno?? And you know, what's holding Two back from breaking his own rules??"

"Wh-What?? What do you mean.." Donuts voice lowered a bit, curious of what the other meant. Gelatin sighed and leaned away from the wall, kicking the ball of foil away, letting it bounce to the floor.

"What I mean is, what if Two is suspicious of you as well?? I mean, you are acting creepy as hell" he sneered at him, Donut squinting "So, Two might be letting Coiny put a camera in your room.."

"..." Donut glanced to the side, holding his arms "..If that's true, the thought makes me more than just uncomfortable.."

Gelatin shrugged "Welllll, this isn't my problem. You won't tell me what's wrong, so I'm not going to help you out"

"I hate you.."

Gelatin dramatically sighed, placing his arm to his forehead "Yup. That's right. I'm completely and utterly useless in this situation. .."

"..I'm not telling you my problems," Donut retorted "Look, I'm just going to go back to Twos office." He turned away "..You're right, it's not your problem.."

Gelatin looked over at him, attempting to say something as he held his arm out, but Donut had already walked off.

So time passed, and the day went on. Everyone continued with their activities, doing what they did best. Well, were forced to do.

It was around evening time, the sun was setting and the outside was oddly cold, so that made the suffering even more unbearable - as if it wasn't already.

Golfball had been working all day. First of all, she had to forfil her promises to the group before she could get started on her big project.

Firstly, Fanny. She had to find some way to restore her electricity, and make sure she was safe in the process. Earlier when she had went to get food for the group, she returned to them attempting to put batteries inside her. Golfball totally freaked out, and they weren't allowed to help out again, idiots.

So her conclusion was simple. She had to use her sources carefully, use what she had. So, Lightning would be a help here.

He was an eternal source of electricity - something that could ensure Fannys life for who knows how long, but also wouldn't completely mess her up. With new random batteries from her storage, who knows how old those batteries were? or if they were even intended for her purpose.

So Golfball attempted to preform a small surgery on the both of them, of course she had to fix Lightnings arms up first though, which she did.

She could add robotic attachments to his arms because the other half was still connected to his body. However for people who had lost their arm completely, like Pillow and Bomby, it couldn't be replaced so easily.

So Lightnings arms had been fixed, and after that, she attempted to connect the two of them, as risky as it was.

It was simple: While Fanny had some tech that would connected to her back, it would be designed to transfer the energy from Lightning into her body. Lightning however, would have the opposite.

It would absorb the energy from his own body, and carry it through a wire to the machine that Fanny had. Golfball had done some sketches, built it and in just a day, it was complete.

The procedure was the harder part. She had to make sure Fannys head was the right way round, which was a pain, but after that she had managed to connect it to the two of them.

Fanny wouldn't be awake for a small while because the energy needed time to actually restore her, but for then Lightning could just carry her.

They would need to be together at all times, though. And that was the hard part. Also, if one of them died, the other would too.

She still had time after that, so decided to work on Jr. Because she had a lot of spare time, she decided to have some fun with his.

Since he was basically a flame, the process of giving him a fire blaster on his arm was more than simple to do. It was easy, as well, since his body and arms were smaller than the average object, so only in a couple of hours had she completed the process.

He didn't really think it was a good idea at first, but she had given the excuse of 'it might be helpful if you have to defend yourself' which persuaded him - mainly because he knew he couldnt.

So, the only person she had to work on now, was Lollipop. She insisted on helping her restore the chunk of her head that was missing. This wasn't vital, but Gb thought she might as well.

Mainly because it was too late to start working on her main idea, but at the same time, too early to just stop doing anything. She would be bored out of her mind.

So Golfball was busy working on Lollipop, while the others were left to talk and discuss amongst themselves.

"At least we have a decent food supply.." Jr grumbled. They were all sat and talking, mostly about their opinions on the whole thing, or what they had experienced.

"Y-Yeah." Pen agreed "Pillow tried to eat tree bark.." he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

She pouted, huffing "Goats do it! So why can't I??" She put an arm on her waist  "I bet it would've tasted fine.."

Blackhole shook his head "Ah, no. You're not a goat, its different.."

Lightning and Fanny weren't there because Lightning was trying to wake Fanny the hell up since she had been sleeping all day, and he was sure the transmitter would've stored enough energy into her by now. They were in a separate room.

She was pestered by it "Whatever," Pen chuckled, before his eyes averted to the side "..I-I miss my friends, though.."

Bomby nodded "M-Mm, .. I-I know how you feel.." he spoke "But.. we've all lost something to this war, haven't we?"

"I-I guess so.." he trailed off, lost in thought. Jr rolled his eyes "Dude! Your friend Eraser is literally alive, cheer up would you??" He crossed his arms.

Pen suddenly looked over, Blackhole doing the same. "What ever do you mean?" He asked for him, Pen nodding instantly "Uh, yeah. What are you talking about.."

Jr froze up, looking away "I-I mean! Probably is.." he muttered, biting his lip.

"That's not what you said a second ago!"

"What he's saying is that we've seen Eraser.." 8-ball inturupted, Blackhole looking over to him instead "Oh?"

"Yeah. He was with us, but then we sent him into Twos place to surrender, try to see what its like in there.."

"Wh.. WHAT!?" Pen yelled, covering his mouth. The others winced at his loud voice "Why in the world would you let him do that?!" He seemed a little annoyed, but mostly upset, nauseated by the news.

Jr grunted, hostile "Good job, fatass. Now he's pissed.." he gritted through his teeth to him.

Bomby waved his arm at Pen defensively "H-He offered! We haven't heard from him in a while ..though.." he stammered, glancing to the side

"I would've preferred it if you hadn't told me this!" He scolded, looking away from him. Bomby looked at him sympathetically "..S-Sorry..man.."

"It's okay, I guess.." he flinched as Pillow hugged him from the side, frowning "Yeah Pen! No worries!"

"You know, I've been thinking of going over there myself. I'm usually passive with this sort of thing, but I do feel like I should take more responsibility.." Blackhole stated, 8-ball looking up at him.

"Cuz Two probably won't be able to kill you, huh?" He wondered, but it hardly sounded like a question in the tone of his voice.

"Y-Yeah.. but, I bet if you went over there they'd just use you as some sort of killing machine.." Jr pointed out, Blackhole nodding at his statement "Yeeeah. Uuh, had the same thoughts.."

"But you'll never know until you tryyy?? Righht?" Pillow encouraged with a playful smile, hugging Pen tighter "I-I can't breathe-" he wheezed, choking.

"Hello, everyone. "

They all glanced over at the sudden voice, Lollipop walking towards them and waving "Like my new look?" She grinned smugly, pointing at her head.

The gap in her head had been replaced by robotics, and she had a robot eye. Over it was some sort of added glass shield, but it was see through, stained yellow glass. It looked like something out if a sci-fi movie.

"Hey Lolly, what's with the eye thing?" Pen asked, pushing Pillow away. She smiled and did a pose "Isn't it cool? It's because the robot eye Gb gave me only allows me to see in black and white on this side.. but this filters it through, so my vision is mostly the same.."

"Ah, I see.." Pen nodded enthusiastically, but didn't understand. If Blackhole could smile, he would've "It looks nice..Gb did a good job, huh?" He complimened. She nodded "Rather good, yes.."

"Wheres Gb right now?" Pillow looked around, as if she would come out on demand "She's resting, and advised us to do the same.."

"R-Really?? But it's kinda early.." Jr complained. 8-ball looked at him "Too bad"

"No, it is. But she thought it would be better for us to sleep early.."

"...When has she ever cared about how we feel?" Pen muttered, but mostly to himself.

Lollipop glanced around at them "Well, she said there should be supplies of sleeping bags and stuff for us. Come on, I'll show you.."

The group went to follow, knowing it was best to just take Gbs advice. Anyways, she was the one who just helped them out.
