"Aw, c'mon!"
"No!"
"Please! It'll only be for a few minutes!"
"This is stupid!"
"Quit bein' such a stick in the mud! It'll be fun."
"...If it gets you off my back, fine. But just this once."
Prescott looked at the computer screen in front of him. Lately Telly had been pestering him about doing something other than "sittin' around bein' a mope all day" as she put it. Today she had told him about an online game everyone in Wasteland was talking about and Prescott knew from experience that the telephone wouldn't let up until he gave it a shot.
"Yes! Let's do this!" Telly exclaimed in excitement as Prescott started up the game.
"You really stink at this, ya know that?" Telly complained. The two were only one minute into the game and already Prescott had gotten them lost.
"I officially hate this game," the Gremlin muttered as he tried to find the path. "You said to head toward the tree."
"I did. I said "Go left there's a tree with a page on it" and you just went straight."
"I thought it'd be in the woods!" Prescott said defensively, "I mean, you usually find those in the woods. And who's the idiot who decided to make all these trees look-alike? I can't tell where we are!"
Telly just sighed. "You're not as smart as you give yourself credit for."
"Oh look it's one of those... cross brick wall things you find in the woods. That's normal," Prescott said sarcastically as he examined the landmark.
"There's a page!" Telly yelled as she pointed at the screen to the piece of paper that was on the wall.
"Finally," Prescott clicked on it. As soon as the "Page 1/8 found" flashed across the screen he started to hear a thumping noise in the background. "Do you hear that?"
"That's just Slendertoon comin' to get ya." Telly replied, "Maybe if you get us lost again we can ask him for directions."
"Very funny," Prescott grumbled,"What's the point of this anyway? You're in the middle of some forest at night looking for some drawings for no reason. That's stupid!"
"You're just mad it took you forever to find the first page," the telephone retorted.
"Okay, it's been about five minutes and nothing has happened yet. Where is he?"
At first Prescott thought the game was ridiculous and had no idea why everyone said it was terrifying, but the background noise and not having met the Slendertoon yet was causing paranoia to slowly creep up on the Gremlin.
"He must be hiding. Come on out Slendy, you scaredy cat!" Telly yelled at the screen.
"Don't taunt the monsters!" Prescott snapped, fear slipping into his tone.
"What? Are you scared?" Telly teased.
"O-of course not! It's just a game," Prescott said immediately, pausing the game to cross his arms.
"Your voice cracks when you lie," Telly said with a smirk.
"...Be quiet."
Telly gasped as her eyes lit up.
"Ooh go in there!" She pointed to the building.
"I'm not going in there! He's waiting for us inside I know it!" Prescott whimpered.
"You're such a wuss! This is just that one building made entirely out of creepy bathrooms." Telly said.
Prescott took a deep breath and hesitantly moved his character into the building. "Who makes buildings like these anyway? There aren't even any toilets, just a turned over chair," Prescott sank into his seat as he headed past a fallen over wooden chair.
"Do I have to keep playing?"
"Yes. Besides, you only have one note so far. The bunny children play better than you do. Or at least, I think they would because you know how Ortensia doesn't like them playing video games. She says that they encourage bad behavior and it would give them nightmares and then she gets mad at Oswald whenever he let's them watch him and Mickey play..."
Despite his growing fear and paranoia, Prescott rolled his eyes as Telly started to ramble. Suddenly as he turned a corner he nearly jumped out of his seat.
"SWEET MOTHER OF ROALD DAHL!" he screeched as the loud BOOM sounded from the computer's speakers and he came face-to-face with the suited, faceless dog toon.
"Kick his butt Prescott! Take him down!" Telly yelled with a wide grin on her face.
"What?! Hell no!" Prescott turned around and hit the sprint button as hard as he could. Meanwhile Telly was grabbing her sides, laughing uncontrollably.
"You should see the look on your face! Ha! Priceless!" she gasped out between laughs.
"There."
"Where?"
"There! In between the trees! How can you miss it?"
Prescott squinted.
"I can't see a thing, this flashlight is useless! How am I supposed to- oh." After a few seconds, the large tree came into view. The one they had searched the whole game for ever since Prescott got them lost, "There better be a page here," he said nervously.
"There's almost always a page on it." Telly explained. As Prescott went around the trunk he spotted the second page. On it there was a stick figure drawing of the Slendertoon with the word "Follows" written vertically on the side.
"Really? I hadn't noticed," he commented sarcastically as he clicked it. "Oh Walt, he's behind me I know it. Why did I let you talk me into this?" Prescott groaned.
"Turn around and check," Telly said with a hint of mischief in her voice.
"No!" Prescott yelled.
"Just look real fast. If he's there, just run."
"Ugh, I'm going to regret this," he said as he turned his character around. Standing there, just as Telly had hoped, was the Slendertoon.
"HOLY SHI-" Prescott shouted as the screen turned to static and Slender's face flashed across the screen several times. After a few seconds, Prescott turned and glared at Telly, who was trying to stifle her giggles.
"What?" Telly asked, feigning innocence.
"Get out," Prescott said simply, pointing to the door.
Telly simply shrugged and hopped on over to the exit. Prescott turned back to the computer and shut it off. A few seconds later he heard from outside, "He what?!" followed by a chorus of laughter. The Gremlin looked out the window and saw Telly talking with Clarabelle. Realizing that they were talking about his reaction to the game, Prescott groaned and buried his face in his hands. He figured he may as well get comfortable now because he was officially staying the rest of his life indoors.
A/N: Yeah... that happened. For some reason, I can just see Prescott being all "Just game is stupid. -_-" when he starts playing this but by the end he's all "MOMMY! DX" Poor Prescott XD
Anyway, this is the first in a series of one-shots where Telly and Prescott play different games each chapter together. This was inspired by the "Bane Plays," "Two Best Friends Play," Markiplier and WatchJim videos on YouTube. If you haven't seen any of those videos, you should because I'll be making a lot of reference to those. Plus, they're hilarious! XD
Anyway, next I'm thinking of having them play "Amnesia: The Dark Descent." If you have any other game ideas for these two, or how I can improve this story, let me know and I hope you enjoyed the madness that is the first chapter of my first fic. 'Til then! :)
