We quickly find out way out of Las Nevadas and began searching frantically for refuge. A nearby fancy Italian restaurant caught our attention, and we quickly ran over to it.

"Quickly, get inside," I said, opening the door to let my friends in. "They won't find us in here. They'll think we're just civilians enjoying dinner."

"Good idea!" Glitch praised me as they ran in. Techno and Ennard followed them, and I entered last, closing the door behind me.

It was a quiet atmosphere. A few families looked up at us as we entered, before resuming eating. Soft chatter filled our eats, contrasting the rowdy atmosphere of the casino, but it wasn't long before a shout broke the calmness.

"WHAT ARE YE DOIN' IN MY RESTAURANT?" 

I jumped, turning over to see a tall, green man walking over to us, the tag on his name reading 'Shrek'. 

"We were just looking for a table," I quickly explained. "And we're all going to order spaghetti."

"Ah," Shrek said in a much calmer voice. "Well, there's a table right over there."

"That's perfect." I nodded, leading my friends over to the table and sitting down. Shrek jotted something down on a piece of paper, before walking over to the kitchen.

"Is everyone alright?" I asked, somewhat worriedly. "Did Quackity's friends harm you?"

They shook their heads.

"No, although the man that I was with, Squidward, told me that he was a yandere." Glitch explained. "He was infatuated with me."

"Oh dear, well that's not good," I said. "Techno, what about you? You seemed to escape pretty quickly."

"Well, it's like I said," Techno told me. "Always be prepared. I knew it wasn't a good idea to spend time at the casino, and I suspected that those bartenders had put something in our drink. When I woke up, I remembered the pocket knife I have for situations like this, cut myself free, and killed the girl watching me. I don't know her name."

I rested my head on my hand, watching Techno with a dreamy look on my face. I could listen to him tell stories all day, and at night, his voice could easily put me to sleep.

"So heroic..." I said, more to myself than the group, before snapping out of my haze. "And Ennard, what about you?"

"I was trying to tell you, but you pulled me away before I could." Ennard sighed. "The man I was with, Purple Guy...he's my father."

"Oh wow," I exclaimed. "That's amazing that you found him, but remember, he works for Quackity. He's a bad guy. You wouldn't betray us just to be with your father again, right?"

"Uh- right..." Ennard said slowly.

"Awesome."

Shrek promptly returned with four steaming plates of spaghetti.

"Thank you so much, Shrek," Glitch smiled. "This looks amazing!"

"Oh fuck yeah," I instantly began devouring my spaghetti like it was the first meal I've eaten all day, which it actually was, now that I think about it. "Aside from the fact that the staff of Las Nevadas tried to kidnap and kill us, what did you guys think of the casino?"

"It was awesome!" Glitch exclaimed. "I had so much fun there!"

"Oh, I know you had fun, especially with that bartender, Comet." I smirked at them. Glitch rolled their eyes.

"Oh sure, like you weren't doing the same thing with Ballora," they retorted. "Weren't you guys dancing together at some point?"

"Wait- we were?" I was somewhat startled. "The alcohol got to me, I can't really remember..."

"You were dancing with Ballora?" Techno asked suddenly.

"OH YEAH!" I shouted, causing the tables nearby to turn to me. "I almost forgot! That would've been a right tragedy if I had. They say 'dance to forget', but I'm not gonna be forgetting that dance any time soon."

"See?" Glitch laughed. 

"It's such a shame that she works for Quackity," I remarked. 

"What makes you say that?" Glitch asked, forming a Lenny face. "Do you like her, Wonder?"

I blushed.

"Let's just say this..." I said. "I'm pretty sure that she turned me bi."

"I thought you said it was that dealer, Foxy." Glitch remarked.

"Nah...nah. It was her alright." I confirmed. "But don't worry. I'm not in love with her or anything. She killed Spongebob! No, I only have feelings for one person, and that person is- hey, where did Techno go?"

"I'm not sure," Glitch began looking around, but Techno was nowhere to be found.

"Maybe he went outside?" I wondered aloud.

"Maybe..." Glitch replied. 

"I'm gonna go out and check," I told them. "I wanna make sure that he's alright."

"Alright, sounds good."

I stood up from my table and began to walk out of the restaurant. I could feel the eyes of the people following me as I stepped outside, searching for Techno.
