Chapter 24: Friendship

Failboat's Pov:
We woke up early in the morning, we didn't question it. It gave us more time to pack up and continue on this long journey. A journey where we would finally beat the villain of this world once and for all. But, on this journey, I only learned one or two things about myself. And those two things, I can't even decipher myself. All I know is that TNT and I are very comfortable with each other to the point where I can hold out my hand in front of him. ExplodingTNT would grab my hand and we would both hold hands along our journey. Not saying anything but, just being within each other's presence. It was oddly comforting, to say the least. No one questioned it which was good, I didn't want to explain why I was doing this. Because even I didn't have an answer to this. And yet, here we are. A group of friends walking on a journey to stop evil. As I hold hands with a person who is suspected to be the start of this. "How close are we?" Purple asked, stumbling behind us. Liz took out the map from her backpack and used her finger to drag along the lines. I don't understand how she can easily read that thing, it was so confusing as it was filled with marks and lines. "Still a long journey ahead of us, Purple. Why do you ask?" Liz questioned as she put the map away in her backpack. "I'm really tired of all this walking..." Purple whined, closing his eyes as he continued to stumble behind us. "We literally just woke up like an hour ago. How are you still tired?" Liz asked, annoyed. "I'm still a kid, Liz! I'm not a big person like you guys are!" Purple complained, crossing his arms.

I felt ExplodingTNT let go of my hand as he stopped walking. I stopped as well as I noticed he was waiting for Purple. "Do you want a piggyback ride?" The words above TNT's head asked. Purple's eyes widen as he let out a huge smile and nodded quickly. ExplodingTNT let out a small giggle as he slowly bent down to let Purple climb on his back. Once the sheep hybrid was settled on his back, TNT stood back up. He held onto Purple's legs and sighed softly as a way to steady himself.

What a good person he is, he almost reminds me of a mother worrying for her child. I looked back down at my hand that was, now, empty. It felt so weird to not have ExplodingTNT's hand grasped with mine. As ExplodingTNT neared me, I held out my hand for him and he looked at it for a moment. He carefully let go of one of Purple's legs and held onto my hand. We both look at one another for a moment and then, continue our journey. Yes, what a weird friendship we have. But, I don't mind it.

No one said a word about our friendship not even Purple who teased us here and there. They treated it like it was normal. "TNT, do you like doing this?" I asked, suddenly. "Hm?" His small voice questioned. I look back slightly as he tilted his head in confusion. How cute. "Do you like us being us? You know, holding hands and that stuff we do?" I asked, curious. What if he didn't like this but, he just went with it because he didn't want to hurt my feelings? "Well, as confusing as it is, I like it. I feel warm and safe with you." TNT explained, looking down at our hands.

His small smile and light blush said everything I needed to hear. I wanted to say something else until a bright blue blinded us. I put my arm in front of TNT and Purple as the others got their weapons out. All of us stared at the blinding blue light that seemed to be forming something. "What is that?" Violet asked, worried. She turned to face Pink who seemed to be concentrated on the bright blue light. His eyes widen as he looked back at us.

"Everyone! It's a trap!" Pink yelled out but, it was too late. Suddenly, technical wires spewed from the light in front of us and headed straight toward us. I saw Pink and Violet get tied up by the wires and pulled into the light. Then, came Crystal who was holding onto her vine that she quickly grew. Liz accidentally held onto a tree branch that broke instantly and she was sucked into the light. She bumped into Crystal and the wires tied them together as they were sucked in. "Purple Shep!" The words exclaimed as Purple was grabbed from TNT's back.

"Daniel! TNT!" He yelled out as he grabbed onto the grass. ExplodingTNT tried to grab Purple's hands but, it was too late. The wires tied around Purple and sucked him into the light. "Purple!" The words yelled out as TNT laid on the ground. "Failboat!" The words yelled out once again as wires tied around ExplodingTNT. "ExplodingTNT!" I exclaimed, grabbing onto both of his hands. "Don't let me go, please!" The words begged and I nodded quickly. The wires were strong as they continuously tugged on TNT as a way to let him escape from my grasp. No, I can't let them take away TNT again from me. Wait, again?

I managed to grab TNT's entire front half of his body as I held him tightly. The wires seemed to have noticed as they wrapped around my waistline and TNT's. We looked at one another with our eyes widen and ExplodingTNT hid his face in my chest. I held onto TNT tightly as we were sucked into the bright blue light. Our eyes were shut as we traveled through a tunnel of light and codes. At least, that's what I could gather from my blurry eyesight.

At least, I have TNT by my side.
