Determined.
"Lets see..." Switch mumbles looking at a small map and pointing to a river. "Are we lost?" Cutthroat asks looking concerned. "No... Just the river isn't here. It's supposed to be here and its not." Forest guesses looking over Switch's shoulder at the map. "Where'd you get this map?" Bloodthirsty asks and coughs up blue and black phlegm into her hand. "Oh no..." Switch says looking up from the map and turning around, "You can come out. We know you're there." "Huh?" the other three ask in unison and turn to face where Switch is facing. "Haha. Wrong direction!" A jaunty voice calls down from the trees behind them. They turn around as a tall, red-and-pink haired girl with a light blue transparent arm hops down from a low tree branch onto the ground. "Knox!" Cutthroat exclaims with a mixture of awe and exasperation in her voice. "You still love this place, huh...?" Forest asks running her hand through her messy hair and sighing. "You know I do. I lived here. Until Rogers found me and brought me to Slendy, that is." Knox says and looks at Switch, "Did you tell-" Knox gets cut off by a tree branch breaking. The group turn around. There is a half-dead looking teenager who is bleeding from almost every inch of skin holding his stomach like his guts are going to fall out while holding onto a skinny tree. "Uh..." "H-Help me...!" The teenager gasps and then falls onto the ground as a hatchet gets buried into his back. "What the f*** was that?" Bloodthirsty yelps as she walks over and yanks the hatchet out of the teen's back and looks at it closely. "Is that..." Knox and Forest ask at the same time. "T-That's mine." A teenage boy says walking out from behind a tree and pointing to the hatchet. "Oh good its only you." Switch says looking pleased. "T-Too bad I c-can't say the same about you." The boy says looking at the group. "I thought you were supposed to be on a mission with Domino..." Cutthroat says. 'I a-am. H-He's at the c-campsite where t-this one c-came from." The boy explains. "You aren't supposed to split up this far. You know that Rogers." Knox says narrowing her eyes at the boy. "D-Don't talk to m-me like t-that. J-Just because you're o-older than me d-doesn't mean you c-can talk to anyone l-like that." The boy says walking up to Knox and glaring at her. "I'm your superior. And Masky told me to tell you that I can talk to you any god d*** I want, Rogers." Knox exclaims happily. The boy looks like he wants to cut off Knox's head right then and there but he thought better of it. Mumbling furiously, the boy turns and yanks his hatchet out of the dead teen's back and starts to walk away. Cutthroat and Bloodthirsty are holding in their laughter while Forest is twirling a stick looking bored and Switch looks worried and like this was the exact way she didn't want this conversation to end. "H-Hey Toby!" She calls desperately then realizes what she did and starts to blush. The boy, Toby, turns around looking confused and a bit happy. "Um..." Switch mumbles looking at the ground, "Wanna have some waffles later...?" "W-With you?" Toby asks with a shocked expression on his face, very distinct yet hard to see because of his mask. "Y-Yeah...If you don't-" Switch begins looking crestfallen. "Y-Yeah!" Toby exclaims looking at the group watching him then the ground. Switch looks up at him, bewildered. Cutthroat and Bloodthirsty are holding each other laughing their heads off now while Knox is grinning like her life depends on it and Forest seems really interested in a tree. Switch and Toby are silent and looking at the ground blushing. "You can go now y'know, Lover Boy." Knox says smirking. Toby glares at her and walks back in the direction he came from. "Hey... Guys?" Forest asks looking up. "What's up?" Knox asks looking over at Forest. "Close your eyes and keep your mouth shut." Forest says. Everyone looks at her perplexed. Forest grabs a branch and pushes it up and the ground starts to shake. "What's-!" Switch begins but a huge hole opens up and they all fall in. Switch and Forest land on their feet but the other three land on all fours. "What the h*** was that?!" Cutthroat and Bloodthirsty yell at the same time. "This is..." Forest starts to explain but stops for a dramatic pause, "The way me and Brims get around super fast without anyone noticing us!" "Uh... Your magic trick is a tunnel?" Knox asks. "Yep. Now if you please, can you make a portal? This tunnel doesn't go all the way to the house." Forest says looking down the tunnel. "Ok...?" Knox says tilting her head a bit at Forest but making the portal anyway. "Chop chop! We need to be at the house to get Switch ready for her date!" Forest exclaims happily. Cutthroat and Bloodthirsty walk into the portal after Knox does, but Forest and Switch stand there. "Are you going in...?" Forest asks. "D-Date?!" Switch yelps looking at Forest. "Yeah...? I mean, that's what you want it to be, right?" Forest asks. "Yeah but-... Does he think its a date? Or does he think we'll just be hanging around?" Switch asks. "You're going to pieces over this. Ask yourself, why did he say yes?" Forest says consolingly. "Um, because he likes waffles?" Switch answers. "Because he likes you." Forest corrects, sighs, and walks into the portal. Switch gulps and walks into the portal.

"Date?! You're going on a date with Switch?!" Domino yelps, barely believing Toby's story. "S-Shut up! W-What do you h-have to do? T-Tell the w-whole forest?!" Toby hisses looking around wildly. "Wow... You finally got the guts to ask her out, eh?" Domino asks somewhat impressed. "Uh, n-no. S-She... A-asked me... B-But shut t-the f-f*** up!" Toby explains. "Oh God... You didn't... God... You are the laughing stock of this place, y'know that right? Well, you are going out with her, so you need to be prepared. Quick, what's her favourite colour, food, and activity?" Domino asks leaning against a tree. "Uh... B-Blue, lasagna, and... walking a-around aimlessly?" Toby says. "Is that a question or an answer?" Domino asks. "A-answer." Toby says. "Lets just get back to the house." There is one word to describe Toby's face...
