After the competition, I went on vacation! Of course I saw the sights of our world, such as The Leaning Tower of Pizza, the Statue of Firey, the Pyramids of the Golden Cheese Kingdom - No idea who the ‘Golden Sovereign’ is - but right now, I’m at the beach, enjoying the water!

Test Tube implemented waterproof stuff before I went out on my trip, So now I’m able to swim! Although it did take about an hour for me to bring out the courage to actually go in the water, It was AMAAAAAAAZZZZIIIIINGGGG!!!!! It was so much better than anything I’d ever experience!!

Fish are pretty cool. They’re also surprisingly friendly here, one even nuzzled me! Sweet. The colors are quite pretty..not to mention all of the CLAMS! I wasn’t expecting to like them as much as I did, but they’re so cool! I found an empty bucket and decided to put some in it. It was fun seeing them digging in the sand.

Also the CORAL!! It’s sooooo pretty…I can’t believe I was missing out on this! Then I saw a shark and almost got eaten…took another hour to get back in the water after that.

There isn’t anyone here, aside from the sea life. The booths are empty, so I just take snacks as I please. It’s kind of scary, although it is November, so maybe nobody wanted to come. That doesn’t explain the booths though…

The food is great! There was coconut milk in a coconut at the booths, wasn’t expecting to like that as much as I did. It’s starting to get really hot, so I have to take cover underneath my parasol, Don’t wanna overheat…

I even made a new friend! He’s a lobster and his name is Craig. When I told lightbulb that I’d be going to the beach as part of my vacay, she told me to ‘bring back a friendo!’. So I guess this is him.

While this whole trip was fun, I suppose it’s time to drive to Hotel OJ, which is pretty far away from here, two and a half hours give or take. With Test Tube’s car!

I hope I don’t crash into anything…

Dear god I am tired..I don’t wanna leave but at the same time I wanna get back to Hotel OJ and get some well deserved rest, maybe coax Test Tube to tell me a bedtime story… Oh yeah it’s nighttime by the way, I got a bit distracted by Craig’s antics.

I’m in the car now, just revved it up, as Fan says. Before leaving I made sure to stock up on all of the food I could find, so I’ll be fine for the drive, and got a bucket of things I’d think Craig would like to eat.

I’m on the road now, sleepy and exhausted after all of the vacation excitement. Oh right, sleepy and e̶x̶h̶a̶s̶t̶e̶d̶ exhausted mean the same thing…only serves as proof I guess.

This drive is so goddamn boring! Normally Test Tube and Fan wouldn’t approve of those words, but I’m alone right now-minus Craig-so I don’t think it matters…did I mention that I’m tired?

I think I may be repeating myself a bit…ok more than a bit…BUT WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY WHEN ITS SUCH A BORING FUCKING-Sorry-DRIVE?! …again, repeating myself…

I had to stop at a gas station to fill up on, well..gas. Also took a thing of gasoline just incase I ran out of food…mmm yummy.

I’m about an hour away from the Hotel now, ran into a traffic cone in the middle of the road, why was that there anyways?? Anyways I’m driving……Oooooo what is that…?

That’s such a beautiful meadow! Ok, maybe just a pit stop…

Chapter Text

”WOAAAAAAAAAAH!” (Yooo real dialogue)

The meadow is superlative, full of flowers of all colors, though all the same species. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and all in between…ew maroon…

I see hills are all around, all covered head to toe with those same flowers, the lush green grass swaying in the wind, along with petals dancing in the breeze.

”This meadow is is beautiful…I’ve never seen anything like it!”

I turn my head to see a large, splendid oak tree in the middle of the meadow, its leaves providing a nice shady spot to sit and rest. Under the tree, there’s a nice spot of clovers…reminds me of somebody I know…

You know…it is 1am, and I do need some sleep…WHY NOT!? Not like there anything here to hurt me, still haven’t seen anyone by the way…

I run to the tree, gazing at it’s branches and wondering if its origins, I’m not usually this thoughtful, but those clovers must have really stricken something in me. Speaking of which, I lay on these clovers, and let myself drift off to sleep…

a butterfly lands on my chest during my last few moments of consciousness before I drift off to sleep, again, reminds me of someone special…

———————Clover’s POV————————

T H E Y R E A L L G O N E…?

That’s what I first thought when I heard the news from Mephone4 that everyone died.

Cabby? Test Tube?? NICKEL?! GOO!?!? BOT???!!!!!??!?

Then he told me that we weren’t real either. That we were fabricated. From HIS mind. I felt sick. I wanted to die then and there but I COULDN’T! I WANTED TO EARLIER! BUT I COULDN’T THEN AND STILL CAN’T NOW!!!! I FUCKING TRIED TO WHEN THOSE WEIRD ASS MEPHONE THINGS WERE KILLING EVERYONE, BUT MY LUCK GOT IN THE FUCKING WAY AGAIN!!!! I LITERALLY RAN UP TO ONE, BUT NO!!!!!!! A BRICK WAS THROWN THROUGH THE WINDOW BY GOD KNOWS WHAT, AND MY BUTTERFLIES CARRIED ME OUT JUST IN FUCKING TIME!!!! I HATE THIS SO MUCH I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHALLENGE I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT I. HATE. IT. THIS IS SO GODDAMN TERRIBLE AND ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD AND THEY AREN’T REAL AND I’M NOT REAL AND I’M STUCK HERE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER WITH NOBODY THAT CARES AND NOBODY AT ALL I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS!!! WHY CAN’T I JUST FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

He then told me that anything remaining of them are gone because of something called “Meeple”. And that I only survived because of my luck. My goddamn luck.

I decided to go to the only place that can make me feel okay again, even just for a little while.

The meadow. It’s covered head to toe with flowers of all colors, with hills and a big oak tree in the center. I’ve always felt safe underneath the tree. No danger, no fear, no worry. It was like I was being protected by an ancient god. There was a spot of clovers right where I usually sit, just my luck, but I don’t want to think about that right now.

I needed to fucking WEEP. Like ugly crying. So I fell onto an area of purple poppies, and just started…screaming and crying. I needed this. I. NEEDED. THIS. I just broke down…it was perfect. It felt like releasing a whole waterfall of tears made from years of suffering.

“WHAAAAGHHH!!! WHY CAN’T I JUST FUCKING BE HAPPY???? I LITERALLY HAVE ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD YET I’M ALWAYS SCREWED OVER!!!!

Around me, tears soak the nearby flowers, fuck that won’t be good.

But I decided after that terrible experience “WhY nOt Be p̶O̶S̶I̶t̶I̶v̶E̶?”

y̶o̶u̶-a̶l̶w̶a̶y̶S̶-S̶a̶y̶-S̶h̶i̶t̶-l̶i̶k̶e̶-t̶h̶a̶t̶

So I pranced in the fields like a free horse for about thirty minutes before I got tired and decided to lay down under the tree and get some well deserved rest, it was night after all, and I spent the whole evening weeping in the field where I got the news.

And who do I see in my spot? A certain white and green person that I l̶o̶v̶e̶ like dearly.

Hi so I realized that this fic is way too ambitious for my skill level, so I’m gonna return to this when I can actually write a chapter with more than 200 words. Sorry everyone!
