The garden radiated with life as Pin stepped onto the soft soil.

She took a deep breath in, and smiled, letting the warmth of the sunshine permeate through her cheeks. Roses flowed from the small bush by the entrance, as Pin gently plucked one from the ground, and gave it a sniff.

Light and soft, a delicate smell made Pin smile even more as she began to make her way through the garden.

The bright aura from the sunflowers greeted Pin as she let her free hand brush against the soft petals. She clenched the rose in her hand, and began to get deeper into the garden, the plants glowing with even more life than the plants from the entrance. Yoyle berry bushes glowed besides the lavender plants, and Pin quickly snatched one from the small branch as she popped the bright berry into her mouth, feeling the sweet, yet bizarre taste of the juice fill her taste buds. Her body slowly began to turn into metal as she clenched the Rose even harder.

She continued to walk, until she finally collapsed to her knees as she looked down, a large grin plastered on her face.

Two pairs of hands laid on the soft patch of dirt, blood beginning to soak the dirt below them. She wrapped her fingers around one of the hands, and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked down, and place the rose onto the ground besides the lifeless hands. She looked down, and saw that her hand that was holding the Rose was gushing out blood, cuts and scrapes from all the thorns the rose had. She winced a bit, but giggled as she let out a sigh.

"You were lovely..." she whispered, as she caressed the hands.

"You were the only one who did understand-"

*snap*

Pin whirled her head around, and her eyes widened in horror.

Firey stood behind her, his eyes filled with blood, and his body, mangled and distorted.

"Pin.....i-...it hurts...."

Pin felt her heart pound inside her chest, as she felt her breaths become more shallow and quicker. She quickly scuttled backwards, shoving the hands out of the way.

"F-F..Firey?! I-I'm-"

"Why did...you do it......"

Pin felt her heart ache as she let out a choked sob.

"I- You-I had t-to-"

"Hello Pin..."

Pin felt her entire body go cold.

"It's been so long, hasn't it..?"

Before she could respond, a knife plunged into her chest. The knife twisted deeper into her violently,as Pin choked, feeling blood pour out of her mouth. Her vision began to fade, as the object leaned into her 'ear', caressing her cheek gently.

"Miss me?~"

——————————————————————————
"NO!"

Pin let out a blood-curdling scream as she scrambled up and into the kitchen. Her screams reverberated through the house, as she collapsed onto her knees. She yanked the kitchen-cabinet open, and began to dig through the utensils, before gripping her hand around the handle of her carving knife.

"I WON'T LET YOU!" She cried out.

It wasn't long before Coiny scrambled in, his eyes filled with exhaustion but fear, after hearing Pin's screams.

"Pin?! PIN!" 

Pin whirled her head around, and the exhaustion quickly fled Coiny's eyes, as he stumbled back.

"P-Pin-"

"I WON'T LET YOU?!" She sobbed out. The knife was pointed directly towards him, the light reflecting off of the blade.

Coiny stared at her in disbelief, before slowly getting back up.

"Pin....Pin, look at me..."

"SHUT IT!" Her eyes squeezed shut, tears streaming down her face. 

"I-I WON'T LET YOU KILL ME LEAFY!"

Coiny's face dropped at the mention of Leafy. He looked at her, and slowly made her way towards him.

"Pin...I-I know your scared.."

Pin clenched the knife harder, her arms trembling wildly.

"Please......." Her voice cracked.

"Pin, open your eyes. Look at me." His voice was stern and smooth, as he made his way in front of her. She shook her head no, as more tears poured down her face.

"Y-You're not killing me..." 

Coiny hesitated, but gently pressed his hand onto the knife, and slowly pushed it downwards. Pin's eyes fluttered open, as disbelief filled them quickly. The knife slipped out of her grip, as it fell with a clang onto the cold, kitchen floor. 

Coiny put a hand on her cheek, and caressed it gently. He let out a weak smile.

"There we go..." he whispered.

Pin put a hand on her forehead as she closed her eyes, pitifully. 

"My head.." she muttered.

"That was..the shittiest dream I've had..." 

Coiny let his forehead touch against hers, his hand still on her cheek.

"Don't you mean, a nightmare..?" He chuckled softly.

She let a small smile grow on her face, as she laughed.

"Whatever, same thing..." 

She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

"...I can't stop thinking about what's going on Coiny..." she felt her eyes burn.
"I'm so scared..."

Coiny looked around slowly, before leaning in, and giving Pin a small kiss on her forehead. 

Pin's eyes snapped open, as she stared at Coiny, shocked and confused.

"Wh-...wha..."

His cheeks glowed a bright shade of red, as he scratched the back of his head.

"S-Sorry about that.." he stuttered.

"I-I just wanted-To-uh..yknow, u-uh-"

A snicker made Coiny stop talking.

Pin let out a laugh, before looking at Coiny, holding his hands and giving them a gently squeeze, feeling the warmth and softness of his hands.

"No need to explain..." 

She leaned in, and gave him a soft peck on his lips.

"I already know."

"ALLIANCE MEETING!"

Groans of frustration filled the air as Pencil smirked.

"Again?" Ice Cube whined out.

"THIS IS IMPORTANT GIRLS! Trust me! You're gonna appreciate it." Pencil winked.

Ruby looked down at Flower and frowned. 

"I'm really sorry Flower, but-"

Flower scoffed and held her hands.

"Please, Ruby; don't apologize, you goofball. Go ahead." She gave her a kiss.
Ruby gushed and looked up at her, her eyes filled with glee.

"Gosh-thank you Flower!"

Book rubbed her arm, and cleared her throat.

"Um, Flower..please." Book gestured her towards the door. Flower sighed, and waved goodbye to Ruby, as she walked out.

Ruby waved, and gave Book a hug.

"She KISSED me! I can't believe it!" She squealed. Book forced a smile onto her face.

"I'm so happy for you Ruby.." she gave her a hug. Ruby giggled, until Pencil cleared her throat.

"Alright Freesmart-ers, I have some important news to share with you all!"

Match nodded, agreeing with Pencil as if she knew the important news.

"Well, what is the important news Poincil?" Bubble questioned. 

"I'm VERY glad you asked, Bubble!" She winked, before turning around and grabbing a small handbag. 

"Alright girls; I was, like, walking around with Match, earlier today..." she reached into the bag.
"And, like, I found something that seemed really...suspicious."

Everyone in the group exchanged nervous glances.

"What..was it..?" Book whispered.

"It has something to do with what's going on..." 

Pencil reached into the bag.

Ruby nervously took Book's hand and leaned in close to her; Book, smiling a bit, put an arm around her in comfort.

Pencil snatched a small tag out of her bag, and dangled it in front of the freesmarters.

"BEHOLD!"

The room stayed quiet, all eyes on Pencil.

"Pencil; you dragged us here, for the fifth time today, to show us. A tag." Book gritted through her teeth. Pencil scoffed.

"Not just ANY tag, Book! If you look closely, you'll see that someone wrote Firey's name on it!" She held it up.

"This could be a MAJOR clue into the so called 'accident'."

Bubble sighed. "What if it's foir something else Pencil? Like, a gift Foirey was supposed to get..."

Pencil looked up, beginning to get lost in her thoughts. "It could be...but, look, if it really WAS a gift for Firey, wouldn't it say 'To:Firey", or something?"

Match grabbed the tag from her hands, as her eyes scanned through it.

"The only thing it, like, says, is Firey's name....and something that's, like, scribbled out."

"Then its a abandoned gift tag that someone dropped or something." Book sighed out.

"No, it's a clue of the murderer!"

"It's a GIFT TAG!"

"CLUE!"

"GIFT TAG!"

"CLUE!"

————————————————————————-

Pin could hear the freesmarters arguing from above. She rolled her eyes.

Stupid freesmarters...

Whatever. Hopefully the place will quiet down when she's finished with this.

She looked down at the small piece of paper in her hands. A list of names was scribbled onto the paper, with Firey's scribbled out. Pin took out a pen, and scanned through the list.

There, was Rocky's name, written with shiny, black ink.

Pin smiled a bit, before she harshly scribbled out his name, the ink bleeding through the page. She sighed, and looked through once again.

"I have to..at least, get rid of one more weak object from here..to at least make it look like..an accident.." she muttered.

But the others know it's a murderer.

She sighed.

"What am I going to do..?" She mumbled.

She continued to read through the list, before a loud yell made Pin crumple up the paper.
"ROOOBEEEE!!!" 

Pin looked up furiously at Flower, who was waving madly towards the top of the Yoyle Needy.
Her voice was obnoxiously loud enough for Ruby to hear; she could see a small gleaming gem waving down towards them.

"Hi Flower!!" Her voice echoed.

Flower beamed with happiness before looking over at Pin, smirking.

"Jealous, much?" She snickered.

She walked past her, shoving her nearly out of the way before laughing a bit.

"Out of my way, Pin! I need my space..."

Pin, fury now in her eyes, looked down at her crumpled mess of a list.

There, she furiously circled Flower's name in bright, red ink.
