Chapter Text
“Woooaaaah there, buddy, let's calm you down.”
That sentence started it all.
Now, a small little group, consisting of Fries, Firey, Nickel and Bomby sat outside the LOL, banging and trying to unlock it. All the people in there were terrified, so many looked for their friends stuck in their outside world, begging to see them again. Others wanted to never get out, it's not safe, it'll never be safe.
Banging the hard metal walls, they grew tired. “Wait- hold on, shall we break the window?”
Through the LOL some cried, “NO!”, others said “YES!”
It was terrifying. Through the glass, Pen and Eraser were hugging eachother, Match was screaming to stay. Lollipop wanted to get out, she had to get out of here. Donut was in despair.
“Okay-- OKAY!” Fries yelled, “How about we only let out people who want to get out?”
Donut was furstrated, “Are you stupid? If you break the glass, the zombies will be able to get in! It won't be a safe place anymore!”
Fries then broke the glass, some screams were for joy, some were terror. Lollipop, TD and Donut immediately hopped out. Match hesitantly followed.
She looked behind, “You guys were stuck in here for, like, months, you can say years, why aren't you getting out?”
She's taken aback by the sea of terrified and tired eyes. This wasn't the time to get out, it never was.
Match sighed, moving right out.

“Sooooo, where are we heading off now?!” Nickel nudged Fries with his side, sticking out a tongue.
Fries grimaced, adjusting his hat, he clearly didn't like touch. “Find more survivors, that's all we can do right now.”
“Oookay, question.” Lollipop clapped her hands together, taking a deep inhale. “Have you made any progress?”
Fries's eye twitched, his fist was raised a bit.
“This has been going on for almost two years now--”
“There isn't anything we can do when undead are plaguing the world right now.” he growled out.
Firey gasped, taking out a small radio from his pocket. “I heard that the infection spread to Yoylecity!”
Everyone turned, their blood run cold.
“WHAT?!” Donut grabbed the radio right from Fireys arms, trying to make it work. Through the radio, they couldn't recognize any voice, but they took to account what they were hearing.
The static was so loud, it stung. It was clear the broadcast had a horrible connection. Fries grabbed and turned it off.
“As much as I hate it... We have to find Freesmart.” he rubbed his forehead, starting to gain a headache.
Bomby put a hand on his shoulder, “Hey! Don't get all hopeless now. We already know that Golf Ball, Tennis Ball and Gelatin are safe--”
“But where are they?!”
Everyone fell silent.
“What does Freesmart, like, know?” Match rubbed the back of her neck, nervously grinning.
“We are the wanderers, they guard the safe place. You guys can find out which role you want to join everytime later!” Nickels face was only a few inches away from Match, excitedly hopping up and down.
A door opens, and the newbies eyes widen. Zombies have taken over.
Book, Pencil, Ice Cube and Bubble are fighting for their lives, everyone joins in to help.
Ruby is nowhere to be found just yet.
