It happened quite suddenly. 

Students fled the atrium in terror and two meme guardians tried to control a runaway meme energy that got out of control when they demonstrated on what it could be used for. They were both quite tired from the night before, and that played a part in their current situation.

"I-I CAN'T HOLD IT MUCH LONGER!" SMG2 cried, afraid as they both struggled to keep it under control.

"DON'T WORRY TWO!" His partner, SMG1 reassured. "WE CAN-"

But he was cut off, as the meme energy came soaring down at the little yellow guardian, making the world go black.

--------------------------------

"𝘛𝘸𝘰! 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦!"

"𝘖𝘩 𝘨𝘰𝘥, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦!"

"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘥!"

--------------------------------

"Wake up, buddy." SMG2 heard a gentle voice say as his eyes slowly opened.

In front of him, was a greyed version of...Spudnick. His eyes were pure white. No pupils or anything.

"S-Spuddy!?" SMG2 said. He took a step back. "A-am I...dead?!"

"No. I'm actually more of a manifestation of your memories of him. And you're not dead. Just knocked out unconscious. Call me..."Memory", please." Memory explained.

"Memory, what is this place?" SMG2 asked as he looked around. The were on a yellow bridge in a void that briefly showed sights of his freinds and fellow guardians. One portal at the top of the bridge was glowing white, while the other at the bottom was pitch black.

"Welcome to your mind, my friend. This is the space between life and death. Most souls end up here." Memory explained.

SMG2 just listened, afraid. Memory noticed his expression.

"Do not be afraid. Your perfectly fine. Few minor injures, but yeah, fine." Memory reassured.

SMG2 breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't dead.

"However, we are going to be here a while. Would you like to look at the past with me?" Memory offered.

SMG2 thought back to their trauma. Spudnick's death, Zero, everything. Memory seemed to notice this.

"I'll make sure it'll be good memories only." Memory said kindly to sweeten the deal.

"Uh...okay?" SMG2 accepted.

Memory smiled. "Perfect. Now, what would you like to see?" He asked. At that moment, several colored wisps appeared and a small pillar with a hole rose out of the ground along with two pillows, meaning it was some kind of projector.

Memory sat on the grey pillow while SMG2 took the yellow one. The wisps still hovered above Memory.

"I'd like to see one with...well....my avatar before he kicked the bucket." SMG2 asked. "I wanna see him again over anything." 

Memory smiled and nodded. A red wisp floated to the hole and slotted it into it. At that moment a light was shot, creating  a screen.

SMG2's eyes went white like Memory's as their vision zoomed in on the blank screen.....

--------------------------------

SMG2 and Memory emory then phased in as a ghostly form.

"Whoah...." SMG2 said as they looked around. "I..missed this place."

"Hm." Memory agreed.

He then spotted himself in the past giggling as he ran. One was there too, hiding behind a tree. The past version of SMG2 his behind a bush.

"Ready or not here I come y'all!" A familiar voice said with a southern accent.

Spudnick.

The little red humanoid ran with his teddy bear in tow as he went to the place where the two guardians hid.

"Spudnick always liked to play hide and seek with us across the city." SMG2 said. "We'd always make sure it wouldn't be hard."

Spudnick tapped SMG1' shoulder. "Gotcha One!" He said confidently.

"You got me." The past SMG1 said with smile.

"C'mon let's find SMG2!" Spudnick said as they both sped off to find two.

SMG2 smiled softly, remembering those days. Tears began to form.

Spudnick managed to uncover the past SMG2, causing the yellow guardian to squeal.

"Found ya two. You know what that means!" Spudnick said.

"HUG ATTACK!" 

Spudnick then hugged SMG2 tightly, as he tried to playfully escape.

"No please! I'll do anything!" The past SMG2 yelled while giggling.

"Alright you guys, break it up. I heard that cupcake shop opened down the road." SMG1 said.

"CUPCAKKKKESSS!" SMG2 and Spudnick yelled at the same time, running off, with SMG1 behind them with spudnick's teddy bear.

-------------------------------

SMG2's eyes returned to normal as he found himself back on the bridge.

"And how was-" Memory said, before noticing SMG2 was crying. "Err...are you feeling alright?"

"Sorry." SMG2 said happily as he wipes the tears away from his face. "Good memories always gets me." 

"I'm glad." Memory said. He then shuddered as the heard a thump, and then smiled.

"Time's up. " He monologued as the pillows, pillar and wisps all disappeared.

"You'll be waking up soon. Better get you to the portal."

Both of them walked to the black portal and stood before it.

"Well, that's all huh? I quite enjoyed our-" Memory sai, but was interrupted as SMG2 hugged him.

"Thanks for letting me see him again." SMG2 said as he held Memory's hands.

"... You're welcome. Be careful okay? And get some sleep, you need it!" Memory instructed as SMG2 walked through the portal.

--------------------------------

SMG2 wook up in a small white bed. He was probably in the academy's infermary. He noticed a card that said "Get well soon!" On the side of the bed.

Then, SMG1,3 and 4 all burst in, panicked.

"TWO!" They all yelled as they rushed to SMG2.

"Thank God you're alive!" SMG1 said as he held his partner through sobs.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" SMG2 joked, earning a laugh from the other two guardians.

"You're lucky you're not dead, dude! That could've been kinda nasty!" SMG3 chimed in.

While the 4 of them talked a ghostly version of Memory floated, watching them through the window and then soon turned into the red wisp, and soared away.
