Work Text:
Sebastian was only 7 years old when his shitty father got him a Mr. Potato Head for Christmas. And Sebastian loved his small toy intensely, as it brought him more affection and joy than he had ever felt from his father.
One day, while Sebastian was sleeping, he had a nightmare and awoke suddenly in the middle of the night. Drenched in sweat, he instinctively rolled over to locate Mr. Potato Head, but he was missing!
"NOOOOOO!!!" shouted the young boy, and ripped off the covers. What could have happened to his best (and only) friend!?
--------------------
Sebastian searched every corner of the house- the upstairs, the downstairs, the garage with his father's homophobic motorcycle- but Mr. Potato head was nowhere to be found. Sebastian was on the verge of a mental breakdown- what could have happened to his beloved Mr. Potato head?
Meanwhile, at the Prosecutor's office, Blaise Debeste had taken Mr. Potato head to work and was using it as a bong, because he is The Worst. 'I sure do love being an asshole,
--------------------
" Deworste proclaimed, taking a puft from the Mr. Potato Head bond.
Sebastian meanwhile decided to begin to look elsewhere for Mr. Potato Head, taking his father's homophobic motorcycle in an impulsive panic. However he does not know how to actually drive a motorcycle and promptly crashed it, getting run over by the cycle in the process.
"How will I ever find Mr. Potato Head?" Sebastian began to sob.
--------------------
He sat down on the sidewalk and started crying. He felt useless, if he couldn't even find Mr. Potato Head, what good even was he?
Suddenly, yellow light appeared from the sky, and a booming voice that sounded like it was coming from nowhere in particular appeared. "Don't give up, my child. When the moon rises and the sun is at its lowest point, follow the
--------------------
place where the sun's light and the moon intersect..."
When Sebastian heard this he couldn't understand it and the mysterious disembodied voice freaked him out.
"WHAT IS GOING ON!? IS THAT YOU GOD?!" He cried out.
"No sebastian.... its me.... miles edgeworth..." The yellow light replied.
"Mr. Edgeworth?? What does your weird rattle mean?!? I dont understand!!" Sebastian whined back.
"Sebastian... you mean riddle... and thats for you to figure out.. I must go to my people now...!!!" With that the yellow light faded and Miles Edgeworth god vanished leaving Sebastian alone on the sidewalk again.
What was he going to do? Nothing made sense and Mr. Edgeworth's riddle just served to confuse sebastian even more. At this rate he was never going to find mr. Potato head before it was too late. He thought for a while about the riddle until eventually the sun started going down. He looked to the sky and realized suddenly that the riddle was literal instructions and he started walking towards where the moon was as soon as the sun slipped behind the horizon.
--------------------
Sebastian walked and walked. He finally got to a destination that didn't make sense. A beach, at night, that was full of toys. It was creepy enough but unfortunately, someone was already there. A weird girl with a top hat and a blue cape. She was rummaging through the toys in the sand, humming a Steel Samurai song. Why did Sebastian recognise this particular, he didn't know. But it didn't help with the creepy vibes.
Sebastian stood at the edge of the beach, unsure what to do. He needed to find Mr. Potato Head. He might as well be here. But Sebastian didn't want to make his presence known, not with this creepy girl there.
Unfortunately she just looked up in his direction.
"Oh Sebastian! What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice upbeat. "Didn't know you are interested in toys washed up from that boat that sunk mead Japanifornia."
"Ummm im not, im looking for someone... Who are you?"
"Im trucy si
--------------------
lly" she smiled. The vibe was lightening up a little.
Sebastian, however, scoffed. "I am not interested in toys!" he assured her. "I am here to destroy these sinful objects!"
Trucy frowned.
Sebastian knew the secret behind the toys and how they were very much alive and responsible for sinking the town.
He might sound ridiculous but he went for it anyway. "The toys; they want to cause a next great flood."
--------------------
"Sebastian, your logic is all wrong! The toys are the only thing preventing the great flood! Look! Mr. Potato Head is here for you! He misses you, Sebastian," said Trucy, and held her hand up to gesture towards the damaged and dingy toy.
Sebastian's eyes widened and his entire life flashed before his eyes. He realized the depth of his depravity and wondered how he could possibly have turned against his only friend.
"Mr. Potato Headddddd," he cried, and snatched the toy up into his arms. "I'm so sorry I doubted you!"
Mr. Potato Head said nothing, but his eyes spun in recognition. Sebastian put the toy down. "Alright, I'm ready. Let's save the town."
Mr. Potato Head gathered an amazing ball of light and energy within himself, and it radiated across the earth. Everything was reset back to its original state, and Sebastian and Trucy cheered with tears in their eyes.
"Let's go, bestie," said Sebastian, still crying like a little bitch. He took Mr. Potato Head's wriggly hand in his own and walked home.
