It was a sunny day in gardenview, toons were running here and there, while laughter spreads though air! In the kitchen, Cosmo and Sprout were baking muffins. Cosmo woul bake while sprout passed the ingredients. "Eggs?" "Here!" Is how the dialogue would usually go. But this time, It felt different. At least it did for sprout.. He couldn't help but admire how Cosmo would swiftly add the ingredients to the mixing bowl, how he giggled, How he smiled, Everything, Honestly. "SPROUT!" a loud yet sweet voice interrupted his swirling thoughts. "Shoot— sorry! What were you saying?" His said, tone with genuine question. "I asked you for the whisk." "Oh, right."

After a long day of runs, baking, and healing, he finally got a break. He flopped on bed. Feeling like he couldn't get up. Like his bones were jello. He just wanted to rest for now. He was going to join the toons for a sleepover, but he didn't know if he could make it.
(FLASHBACK!)
"Uhm.. I don't know if I could make it."
"Cosmo's gonna be there~!"
"Okay, I'll be there. I promise."
(PRESENT)
Sprout really shouldn't make promises he can't keep.

(For context, the toons at the sleepover are, sprout, cosmo, poppy, glisten, teagan, shelly and finn, astro, vee, scraps, goob, and tisha)
While at the sleepover happening in astro's room, toons were talking, (well duhh) gossiping, And eating cosmo's treats. Sprout was curled up in a corner staring down at the floor when cosmo scooted up to him, pastry in hand. "Hey you alright?" He said with his soothing voice. "Im great! Happy to be here!" sprout said, most likely lying. Cosmo then offered him the pastry in his hand, but sprout declined. There was an awkward silence before poppy came to them, and asked, " we're playing truth or dare! Do you two wanna join?" She said, tone bubbly. "Uh, sure!" Cosmo answered, then looked at sprout, awaiting his reply." I mean sure, why not?" Sprout agreed. "
