Since they saw the Socks and Meme were hugging, and Meme wasn't dead, everyone decided that it was okay to come over. Blaza was one of the first to come over along with Laff and Dino. Meme was the one that noticed everyone first. Socks heard everyone's footsteps, and knew where they were.

"Hey.. Socks are you.. good now?

Socks heard this voice, knew who it was, and immediately got up and hugged him. Which was Blaza.

"Woah.. i- it's alright.."

Blaza was surprised by the surprise hug, but he wasn't really scared either. He knew what Socks was going through, so he just went with it. After a couple more seconds, Socks finally got the strength to speak.

"I thought I would've killed all of you.. I don't know what I would've done if I had."

A couple seconds after, he frantically asked,

"I didn't hurt any of you, did I?"

"Well, you nearly hit Nadwe in the head, but thankfully missed. You hit his hats instead."

Laff tried to say that as delicately as possible so Socks wouldn't freak out. Socks then glanced at the 15 year old that was wearing the suit and tie. Socks sighed and let a small smile spread across his face. Then Woolf plainly said,

"You also threw Blaza against the wall.. and he blacked out for like a minute or so."

"But I'm fine! I hope.."

Blaza added onto what Woolf had said. He was trying to make it sound not as bad. Socks' smile turned into a frown of concern.

"Are you sure you are okay?!"

Socks started to tear up again.

"Yeah! I'm fine! Surprisingly nothing broke."

"Oh thank god.."

Then, Meme suggested:

"Well, I guess we could start heading back to the base.."

"Yeah, sure, but what about Socks?"

Tbh certainly didn't want to die. And seeing how crazy Socks could get, he wasn't sure if he should go back with them.

"Yeah.. I don't know if i should come back to the base with you guys.."

"Are you serious right now? We aren't going to let you here by yourself! And if you were to go wacko in the head again here, you could just let yourself out anyways.."

This was the first time Oompa had spoken in a while. He liked to be by himself, but when he was social, he was a great guy! Seeing as everyone agreed, Dino then firmly stated,

"Alright.. then we should start heading out. It's getting dark."

He was right. It was about 7:30, so the sun was starting to set. As they were walking out, Socks was confused. Didn't I just nearly kill them? Why aren't they scared? And how!? He decided to talk to the nearest person walking, which was Laff.

"Hey Laff, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Not at all!"

"Didn't I nearly just kill you all?"

"Uh.. yeah.. why.."

Laff then glanced down at his hands. Upon seeing some of the substance from before, he rubbed it off on his pants.

"Well, if I did, then how aren't any of you scared of me?"

Laff was stunned by this question. He didn't know how to answer. Normally, he'd say something along the lines of, 'I don't know mate..', but Laff saw Socks' confused and scared face, and instead said,

"I guess.. it's because.. we know you won't hurt us, unless we tick you off, or if your eyes turn black and red."

"Yeah.. but.. aren't you guys scared that'll happen tonight at the base?"

"A little bit, but it's better than having no idea what is happening to you."

"I guess that's true.."

The two of them then started talking about random things until they got to the base. Once they did, Socks immediately went to one of the beds, and slept until around ten the next morning. Everyone was surprised by this, but at the same time wasn't. Socks never goes to bed that early, but at the same time.. it takes a lot of energy to do what he did before.
