As Mariana joined, he thought back to his husband the last time he saw him. 

He was destroyed, beaten, and coded? 

Mariana didn't know what to do. He didn't want to see his husband in pain, not that he knew he was though. He had just assumed for he was also struggling with the loss of both Tilin and Juanaflippa. 

Although they had said that Juana came back, he didn't believe them for a second. How could he when he had seen Juana himself up in heaven? 

His husband had said so with such excitement and joy, he couldn't let him know the truth. But he can't keep letting them live their fantasy either. 

He was at a big cross road. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

When Charlie returned back to Quesadilla Island, he didn't expect to see Mariana logging back in. Especially because he was also logged in. 

But when they'd logged in, Juana was nowhere to be found. What was he supposed to do? Search for her like an open field? The letter he'd sent her telling her that they were off to Purgatory hadn't been read, and his spirits were low. 

So the next best thing he did was search the cave. But as soon as he stepped foot into the house at the bottom, his arms flashed with a pain shooting up his body. 

"Guh- Juana?! Are you in here?!? " Slime tried to call out to her, but no answer was called back. And shot of pain went up his arms as he continued walking to the spot he'd first found her in. 

"Holy- oh my fucking Gods-, Juanaflippa, i-is that you? " Charlie said worryingly. 

A code was sitting in the spot his daughter was first found, and it was HUNGRY. 

The beast had laid eyes upon the Slime, and leapt forward with growl. 

"Slime? Dondè esta? Ah- Where are you?" Mariana! He'd come back for them! 

But while Charlie was distracted by the sudden voice in the cave, the Code took that moment of hesitation for a meal. 

"GUAH- FUCK! M-MARI! I-IM DOWN HERE He-mmmhm!" The Code had muffled their screams as an attempt to keep its meal nice and sweetly quiet. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

“SLIME? MI AMOR?” Mariana yelled in the distance. “SOY AQUÍ!” (I am here!)

“MARIANA! SHE…SHE HAS…” Slime stuttered.

The code version of their daughter that Charlie thought was so innocent and harmless was staring her green, deadly eyes toward the blond. Her next actions were unpredictable. She could attack her father for her hunger issue or step a foot closer to inspect her meal. 

“QUE… QUÉ PASA SLIME?” Mariana asked as he stood behind Slime’s shoulder.

“I THINK SHE IS A BIT TOO HUNGRY SINCE IVE LEFT OUR DAUGHTER!” Slime responded.

“That’s not mi hjia. And she is not yours either.”

Slime turned around as he took the comment made by his Husband offensive.

“Let’s leave and I will explain all. All of the shit you have missed with YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTER MARIANA!” Slime replied.

The couple escaped their coded and possibly deadly child to the outdoors.

“YOU KNOW WHAT WAS THE ONE OF THE QUESTION SHE ASKED AFTER HER RETURN? YOU KNOW WHAT SHE ASKED ME?” Slime continued his rant as finally leaving the cave.

“ NO SÉ SLIME I don’t know what this demon asked you.” Mariana stated.

“She…” Slime paused as he felt a lump in his throat and tears gathering in his eyes, “She asked me, where is my padre? And you know who and where her padre is? MOST LIKELY TO BE A CHEATER ON THEIR HUSBAND AND FUCK KNOWS WHERE HE IS!”

Tears run down the eyes of the American. He stood there in such pain that not even Mariana could bare to see the pain of Slime like that.

“Amor. You and Juana will always be here,” Mariana stopped his sentence to point at his chest where the heart is. “But the thing other there is not someone I put my love and trust into like you. Amor, believe me.”

Slime lifted his head up. Leftover tears from his eyes where still there, glistening in the sunlight.

“How… how can I trust you? After all what’s happened. You left me alone for months. Practically ghosted me for a long damn time. The thing going on with you and Foolish back then. How can I trust you after all of this?”

Mariana held slime chin with one of his hands and looked at his eyes.

“We can start again. Redo our relationship. What the phrase in English with chapter?”

“Make a new chapter?”

“Oh sí amor. Then we can make our ending. And to start it, you need to let go her. The demon. For me amor. For us.”

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

As the code wallows in the darkness underneath the ground, it sits, waiting to be full once again...

“Look Slime, if he did leave you then it surely was a good sign from then world! The world took him away from you to be happier!” Baghera told Slime as they were collecting items for their purgatory team.

“But what if… what if we were meant to be? I had done so much in life with him and he just leaves me!” Slime responded.

“Slime. Now just concentrate winning this whole purgatory shit. He is the last of our problems!” Baghera stated.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Slime was laying there on his bed. Just him and his thoughts (and Cellbit’s snores).

The idea of him and Mariana being together and married was a stupid decision he continued to tell himself in the head.

“Mariana, Mariana… if your out there somewhere… without you, I can’t feel anything anymore.” Slime spoke in his mind.

He felt the water in the corner in his eye drip ont onto his cheek, hoping and wishing that his beloved was hearing his request.

. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── 

“SLIMECICLE RISE AND SHINE! And also purgatory cause you know we are in this purgatory thi… Oh yeah I came to wake up Slime! SLIME WAKE …” Foolish stopped by being distrusted by the blond.

“IM FUCKING AWAKE MAN!” Slime yelled in his bed half awake.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

As he opened his Comm, he saw it. ElMariana. His BITCH Wife. Wow. He finally decided to log in for once. 

(Did he hear his prayers?) 

"Yeah uh, Celbit. I-I gotta go man. I'll see you later, eventually." Slime stammered. He blushed as he started to exit the Bolas base. 

"Have fun with your husband Slime!" Celbit calls after him. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Mariana? A-are you in here?" Slime calls out in the distance. 

"Ey! Slime, i-its good to see you man! It's been a long tiempo man! Long time! Ah, Como esta? How are you? " Mariana asks. 

"I, uh, I've been better. Yknow with all the teams and everything. Ah, y tú? How are you? I-uh haven't seen you much around anymore man. Where've you been?" Slime asks nervously. 

"Yo me escuché tu ah, call? I heard your call. I came back to you. They said I could go, so I took it." Mariana explained. "Hey, a while we are here, you wanna- I, I don't know, have sex?"

"I'd be careful man, I've contracted many brazillian diseases from Cellbit, so I'm just saying." Slime said warningly. 

"So no sex then," Mariana says. "Got it cariño. Are, you okay?" 

"Me? Yeah man, I uh, I've been good, been hanging with Celbit and Roier, Baghera. It just- hasn't been the same without you." Charlie says shyly. 

Mariana steps towards Slime, and puts his hand on his cheek. "Slime, mi amor, I love you. I wanted to see you, but I couldn't. Not after what I did."

"No! I-I don't blame you for hurting Juana! It wasn't your fault, it was a misclick! Don't blame yourself for that!" Slime yelled, trying to make his point across. 

"Slime, I do not mind the blame. It was my fault, and I've moved past the guilt. And you do too." Mariana felt his comm buzz, as he looked down to read what it had said. "Merida! I- got to go Slime. I will see you.. Ah, tommorow? Adios, mi amor."

And Slime stood there with a heart healing, and a new chance at love.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Mariana! I love you! Shit man, I've been keeping a code with me for a few months now, and I know she's not my daughter, but gods Mariana, I NEED you. 

"I fucking love you so much that I can't tell you how much I've missed you. I was so close, close to just-, b-but you've come back, and now we can get back together and I want you to know that I never stopped thinking about you and-"

"Slime, I love you too. You don't need to come here, especially since this is the Soul fire base, to propose your love to me." Mariana warns. 

"Propose? Holy-, Mariana you're a genius! I can just propose again! Mariana, will you marry me for real this time?" Slime asks. 

"Quierdo, mi amor, maybe you should do this another time. Este no es lugar para una boda." Mariana says quietly, cupping Charlie's cheek. 

"Mariana. What is he doing here?"

Mariana whips around to find BadBoyHalo behind them, staring disapprovingly. "Hey BadBoy. Uh, Charlie was just leaving now." Mariana said nervously. 

"No I'm not. Actually, I have a big bone to pick with you, BadBoyHalo. I wanna 1 v 1. Right now, no amour, and using sticks. Do it the prideful way, coward." Slimecicle challenged. 

“AMOR! Don’t do it!” Mariana yelled with a feeling of weight in his chest.

“Mariana. This is something I must do, for our love, our trust, our relationship.” Slime spoke bravely as he was preparing for his fight, his flight for his husband, father of their child and his saviour of his life.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

“Hey Slime, last chance to back out!” Badboyhalo told Slime once they were ready in position to attack.

Slime turned around to see his lover, he was stood there fiddling with his hand, nervous of what could happen.

“I’m am so fucking sure I don’t want to back out.” Charlie declared to his opponent.

“Alright then. Here will be another win for the blue s I guess.” Badboyhalo told his competition in front of him.

Instantly, Slime hit first with the stick, aiming towards to the others arm. Then, Badboyhalo attacks Slime in the neck with ached in the whole body of the blond, yet he had to continue, showing no fear at towards his opponent. Yet another hit was made by Bad, on his leg, with continuous throb throughout the match. Bad attacked again and again and again until Charlie was on the floor in pain.

“You know one more strike, you are going to be dead right?” Badboyhalo asked with a smirk on his face.

“Y… yes. I do” Slimecicle replied.

In the corner of the blond’s eye, he saw his love trying and attempting to reach to see him, however he was pushed away from him by Bad. “Since I am so nice, I will allow you to get up, prepare yourself and have a round two to this.” Bad explained, “But, that’s all up to you Mr slimecicle.”

“Ok. I will.” Charlie responded.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

After he received a bunch of food, a few healing potion and a pet talk from Mariana, he was in the ability to fight the demon. In the position to fight, Slime receives the attack at first, directing at his elbow. He hits Bad in the neck but was given in return a hit on his ear. Then, suddenly, Slime has a moment. A moment where he remembers his daughter and Mariana, his everything. How one of the reasons he is here in this situation was for them.

A instant shock of tactics flow to his brain. A attack on the thigh, his head and chest was hit at Badboyhalo.

There laid the body of Bad, dead and unconscious.

“Amor… you… you did it.” Mariana spoke out coming to hug Slime. He turned around and saw his one and only husband and embraced him tightly.

“You want to know my tactic?” Slime asked.

“What was it amor?” The Mexican questioned.

“I thought about some people I love so fucking much. Two people in particular.” Slime whispered to his lovers ear.

"Hey Mariana, do you believe in soulmates?"

"I mean, there's no way of telling if you could have more than 1, but yeah. I believe that there is someone out there just for me." Mariana shrugged. 

"And would you believe me if I said I think that person is me? Or would I be going crazy?"

"Well if so, then I've fallen in love with a crazy man, and have an even crazier soulmate." Mariana laughed. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Charlie awakens on a rainy Sunday. 

Slime sighs as he starts his morning with some stale bread and some few-days-old avocados. Amazing. Just how he wants to spend the rest of his life; growing avocados and wheat in his backyard, because he can't harvest anything else. 

Charlie's eyelids grow heavy as the rain starts to pour down again. What a dreadful day. Another day without contact and another day with them. 

He's been missing all three of them a lot lately. His precious daughter, Juanaflippa. Oh, what he would do to see her sweet smile again, the familiar taste of honey as she grins. 

And Tilin, the calm little girl whose life got taken too soon. The one that He killed. The one that had the red ribbon, the one that had the blood, the one that had his hands on the eggshell as he-

Then Mariana. His bitch wife. How he missed those nights where it'd just be them, sitting under the starlight as the rest of the world was blind. Ironic, considering the entire family had to wear glasses, really. 

The acts they had put on, the belief that they hated each other, but really whenever they were alone, they had the sweetest times of both their lives. 

As Mariana and himself had kissed for the first time, on the day they had received Juanaflippa, and it felt like heaven. Charlie was beyond the moon, the stars, and the sun. His light had finally shined through. 

But then he was gone. His life, his light, his beauty. Stripped. Taken. Lost. Gone. 

He'd never forgive himself for what he'd done to the family. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Mariana trudged through the thick forestry, as he searched for his lost husband. "Slime? Donde esta? Where are you?"

Mariana slashed through the trees, saving some wood for later, and clearing his path until he reached the sea. "Puta madre, ay cabron!!" Great. Now he has to boat there. 

"Heya mate. Guess you're off to try and find Charlie?" A voice sounded from behind. 

"Ay! Dios mio, Philza do not scare me like that!" Mariana shakes her head," I'm looking for Slime. I cannot find him though." He sighs sadly. 

"Well mate, you could've just asked me. I have the warp to his place. Here, lemme get you the warp real quick…" Phil disappears for a quick second then messages Mariana to click on the Red share stone. 

Philza messaged you - I named the warp "Charlie". Good luck with him. 

As Mariana clicked on the title named " Charlie ", he was warped to the sound of waves crashing against the sand. 

"Charlie…  mi amor? Donde esta? Where are you?" Mariana calls into the distant cave below. 

As Mariana takes a look around, he sees the state of which her husband has been living in. There were a small amount of fruit trees in the patch of grass next to the sand, a Marble and Quartz shrine dedicated to the angel above. 

A cave carved into the ground, going underneath the house. Something smelled odd about that opening… But his main focus was on the house itself. 

It was leaning kinda sideways, made with many different kinds of wood. There were dunes of sand, footsteps dragging through it all, and tracking into the house itself. As Mariana opened the door he was hit with a sense of danger, like someone had done something that they shouldn't have here. 

"Slime? Donde esta? Where are you?" Mariana repeated for the 14th time on this trip. A shuffle was heard from behind him. 

A small gasp. Mariana turned his head and saw a broken man. 

"Slime?"

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

As the two looked at the other, Charlie noticed the state he was in. It wasn't the best, and he knew he'd been crying beforehand. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was knotty and messy, but he didn't care because he could see his wife again. 

"Slime, mi amor, you are here. Que pasa? What's wrong, cariño?" Mariana asked with such softness that Charlie swore he broke down right then and there. 

His knees buckled as he slowly sunk down to the floor, crying. He wept as Mariana surged forward, and he sobbed as his wife hugged him softly, whispering soft nothings into his ears. 

"Mari I-" Charlie started. 

"Shh, no need to talk amor. I understand. It's okay." Mariana says with such fondness in her voice as she sees how ruined her husband actually is. "Lo siento cariño. I am sorry for not being here when you needed me, but I needed to think before both of us would do something we regretted."

"Mari?" Charlie said in a small voice. 

"Si, mi amor?" Mariana called back with the same softness as before. 

"I love you. God's, I love you so much, but when you left me, I thought I'd never love again." Charlie said with a passion in his voice, and leaned forward to kiss his wife. 

"Say, mi amor, do you think we are soul mates? In every universe?" Mariana asked, the question burning in Charlie's mind. 

"Of course. You are mine. And I never want to share with anyone else."
