Chapter Text

The sound of footsteps and the sounds of wheels echoed in the hallway as Tisha was doing her usual cleanup,

dragging along a yellow tray of cleaning supplies in a carrier, she took out her feather duster out the tray and started dusting off spider webs and cleaning per usual until she heard a voice behind her,

“Hi Tisha!!”, Tisha immediately recognized that voice, it was none other than her best friend, Shelly. “Oh! Hey Shelly!” Tisha greeted

“So how’s the cleaning process going?” Shelly asked as she looked at Tisha,

“I just started cleaning actually, but it’s going pretty well!” Tisha replied as she kept dusting off unwanted dust

“Ohh that makes sense” Shelly commented, now that the webs and dust were gone, Tisha placed them back in the tray and took out a broom then started sweeping,

“Hey Tisha? Can I help?” Shelly asked

“Oh yeah! Of course, you’re welcome to help me anytime Shelly!” Tisha immediately said with delight

“Oh! Alright then!” Shelly replied excitedly, so Shelly took out a mop and started cleaning with Tisha, a bit of hours went by until loud footsteps came right towards them, Tisha and Shelly looked back and saw… welp, Vee.. Eugh..

“Hey shelly, we need you to help carry stuff for the back” Vee firmly commented

“Oh! Okay! Sorry Tisha I’ll come back soon!” Shelly reassured her,

“Oh. Ok see you soon..” Tisha replied, a bit bitterly and watched Vee and Shelly walking off,

“Tch, vee ALWAYS does this.. She’s doing this on purpose I swear!” Tisha mumbled as she glared at them leaving,

Tisha decided to keep sweeping the last bit of wrappers on the ground and decided to walk to vee’s stage where “Vee’s gameshow” is usually hosted, and she walked in, she saw a HUGE mess…

“You have GOT to be kidding me..” Tisha muttered as she saw the whole room, the seats had popcorn kernels on them, the floor was filled with crumbs with the stage covered in confetti from the winners announcement, tisha always saw this type of mess but this one… This one was different.. She looked over and saw a.. Note?

Tisha opened the envelope, out of curiosity and found out that was meant for… Her? So she opened it up and started reading it,

“Dear tisha, Meet me at —---------------------------- we need to talk. -vee”

… “How am I supposed to meet Vee at… whatever when half of it is crossed out!?” Tisha thought bitterly and She tossed it aside. And began cleaning.

Hours went by, her mind still clinging to the note, wondering what Vee meant, after like… 8 hours of cleaning and a extra of 12 hours of deep cleaning she walked out tiredly

“Finally.. Geez what is vee doing in her gameshows?!” Tisha mumbled and she left to clean up, over and over again, again and again,

after cleaning for awhile, her sleepiness caught up to her.. “Geez I’m tired..” Tisha thought to herself, she went over to grab a snack and a attempt to also clean in the kitchen and was greeted by Cosmo and Sprout.

“Oh hey tisha! Need anything?” Cosmo asked, “Yeah actually, I just need a snack, I’m a bit tired from cleaning” Tisha chuckled, but her sleepiness was shining through her words,

“Hold on a moment Tisha” Sprout replied as he rumanged through the fridge and pulled out a cupcake and handed it to Tisha “This should help you feel better!” Sprout said as Tisha took the cupcake, “Thank you guys!” Tisha gratefully replied.

“Yeah no problem!” Cosmo said happifully

“Remember to get some rest tisha!” Sprout reminded her.

“Yeah I will don’t worry!” Tisha reassured Sprout as she ran off, she went to her room and ate the cupcake.

“To be honest the cupcake actually helped, which doesn’t make sense because it’s…well a cupcake? But it’s probably because of the ingredients maybe”
Tisha thought to herself,

She went out and threw away the recyclable cupcake liner and snuggled up in her bed, her mind still nagging back to the note Vee was supposed to give her, “It’s nothing right?” Tisha thought, she decided to just sleep so she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

As Tisha slept, she gotten nightmares, but this one was different.. There was screaming everywhere, every toon was terrified, but then came growling.. Pebble.. But when Pebble came out, It was not the pebble they knew, pebble had an outstretched body, the head had ears and his eyes were bloodshot red, he had a lower jaw full of razor sharp teeth, his neck leaking of black liquid that looked like… Ichor? His body was one giant boulder with two more legs made of ichor with his paws in his regular form but he had claws this time, his other two legs were gone.. His tail, which was made of ichor at the end, had his original tail, and just by the look of it, Pebble was out for blood. Tisha ran for it and hid, as the footsteps got louder as he roamed around and suddenly, pebble made a sharp turn and saw tisha, barking as soon as he saw her, Tisha ran for her life, terrified, her speed was able to outrun him, for a bit, but then she made a accidental turn and got into a dead end, as Tisha closed her eyes, awaiting her death. .... ... .. . !!! a sound of a loud air horn blasted through the air, as she looked back she realized… That was Shelly. Shelly had used a air horn to save her, as pebble turned his attention to Shelly. Shelly ran off with pebble chasing her, Tisha sat down to catch her breath “Holy shit..” Tisha said to herself, still terrified and panting, she decided to look outside and saw.. DANDY but his whole body was covered in ichor on all fours, with pieces of tapes that were struck inside him with rolls of tapes around his limbs and body. He has claws, the color of his petals, his petals got bigger and sharper with his eyes, bloodshot smiling, underneath is claws was.. Cosmo struggling for his life. He was injured with his left arm gone completely and suddenly.. CHOMP. Dandy bit half of his head off, which killed cosmo instantly, a pool of ichor spilled out, with cosmo’s lifeless body. Dandy’s claws had ichor spatted on them, dandy’s teeth had ichor on it, with that same twisted smile, Tisha held her breath, scared that dandy will hear her. she felt like crying but no tears came out, she checked what items she had and all she had was her feather duster, the stick was half broken but it was still enough to help her. She carefully walked and looked around and found some white ribbon to fix a bit of her broken feather duster, it wasn’t much but it held it together, she then used the ribbon to tie it together and then saw goob running for his life as… Bassie started chasing him, Bassie was attempting to catch up to goob but he was pretty faster than her, hell he was even manging to outwalk her.. Only speeding up when she got too close to him and then suddenly more screaming was heard but the voice was famliar... .... ... .. . Too famliar Tisha looked over and realized Shelly was getting mauled by “Pebble“, her lower half was torn off like it was a sheet of fragile paper, ichor leaking everywhere, “Pebble“ was distracted by chomping and eating the lower half of her as Shelly tried crawling away desprately but as soon as she hid behind the bean bags of the theater “Pebble“ easily found her due to the ichor trail and his senses before a loud crunch was heard. Shellys head was bitten off, she could only see out of her one eye as ichor spilled out. She weakly looked around desprately for help as “Pebble“ walked off finding more victims, Tisha immediately ran over to Shelly, tears filling both of their eyes. “S-shelly?... No.. NO SHELLY DON'T DO THIS TO ME PLEASE!“ Tisha pleaded loudly, not caring that one of “them“ would hear her, she rather die at Shelly's side mourning her instead of dying alone. “Tisha..“ Shelly weakly replied, coughing up more and more ichor, reaching out her hand to Tisha as a cue to hold her hand, Tisha immediately put held her hand gently. “It was a good time spending years and years with ya huh?..“ Shelly asked “O-of course Shelly! You're my best friend why wouldn't I?.." Tisha replied, tears falling down from her face, falling into the ichor puddle. “Promise me something alright?" Shelly asked "O-of course Shelly! What's the promise?.." Tisha replied "Keep everyone safe and don't give up hope alright?" Shelly said It was a simple request, yet so heartbreaking to Tisha "Of course Shelly, I will do everything, in your honor" Tisha vowed "It was a great time with you Tisha, thank you for being with me in my last moments." Shelly replied gratefully before her hand slipped out of Tisha's hand, Shelly's eyes became glassy, her hand slipping out on the cold ichor puddle surrounding both of them, Tisha didn't care about the ichor stains on her dress and body. "S-shelly?... Shelly no.. NO! SHELLY PLEASE WAKE UP DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" Tisha begged as her eyes went wided eyed welling up with tears once more And then suddenly, she experienced.. acceptance.. Shelly was dead, and Tisha couldn't do anything about it, and then suddenly.. She woke up
