Tenna walked into the mike room, he was having a very bad day so far. For the first time in years Kris had shown up but things had done nothing but go wrong. He was just supposed to keep the fun gang busy till Papyrus showed up but it was shaping up to be a very late knight. The mike room was a mess, yarn balls, cans of battery acid, and sweepstakes chairs littered the ground.
A box labeled “BATTAT MINIGAME” tips off a shelf and clatters to the ground, the tape holding it shut breaking loose and freeing its contents. Hundreds of small dancing neon cats and IMAGE_FRIENDs begin to spread around the room. Jongler tripped over an IMAGE_FRIEND and fucking died.
Tenna steps over johnglers body and continues towards the corkboard where he sees the green legs of a pippins hiding behind it. He reaches behind the corkboard and yanks the pippins up by its collar. “Hey dice boy, where's Mike at? I’m feeling awfully in need of some pluey today, everything's going wrong.” The green pippins points towards the corner of the room where the dancing neon cats were amassing around a radiant figure. It danced, shaking its body from side to side while its arms moved up and down in a very michael fashion. It was Pluey. Tenna waltzed over to the corner where Pluey boogied. As he moved, dozens of IMAGE_FRIENDs fled from his path. One little FRIEND was too slow and was smushed beneath Tenna’s yellow shoes, leaving a black smudge on the ground with little pink and yellow eyes.
Pluey looks up at the large TV man and lets out a string of happy jazz notes as they stop dancing and raise their arms up. Tenna picks up Pluey excitedly. “Oh boy oh boy Pluey how i’ve missed you! You would not believe the day I'm having, Kris showed up and told me I had to keep them and their friends busy until…” Tenna is interrupted by a series of happy notes from Pluey as they start happily wiggling around in his arms. “I can't believe Kris is back either but they were so cold, and their friends are so impatient! It's like they aren't even enjoying the show.” Pluey thinks for a minute before letting out some middle tone notes. “Now that's actually a great idea! Thank you Pluey” Tenna says as he sets Pluey down. Pluey returns to their corner where they curl up to sleep, the legions of small neon cats following suit creating a sea of sleeping cats.
Tenna walks back to the corkboard and finds Battat where he left the green pippins earlier. “Oh there you are Mike, I've been needing this.” He crouches down next to Mike and they kiss.
An IMAGE_FRIEND zooms past them. Distracted by the boys kissing, it trips over Jongler's dead body and falls onto the MichaelBomb, causing its fuse to light. “Hey, do you hear sizzling?” Battat asks right before the MichaelBomb detonates in a pixelated explosion smaller than the bomb itself. The entire Mike room is covered in black soot. Tenna coughs.
