Eddie tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, letting out a irritated huff. He had been waiting there for a while ever since Dustin practically shoved him into the Inn. It was taking forever for the blonde boy to make his calls.
"Hey Eddie, how are you doing?" Arfur asked, polishing a glass as he walked over. Eddie shrugged, still tapping his fingers.
"Well, Dustin told me to come in here and to wait, but he's taking much longer then I thought-"
"EDDIE, YOUR STILL IN HERE, RIGHT?" Dustin screamed as he slammed the door open. Arfur jumped, dropping his glass onto the floor, causing it to shatter. He sighed.
Oh not again...
"Yes. Are you done yet?"
"YEAH! JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE I HAVE TO GET SOMEONE REAL FAST! SPARCTICUS WILL BE HERE SOON, DON'T WORRY! BE RIGHT BACK!" Dustin said, slamming the door shut again. Eddie cringed at the loud sound, letting out a sigh.
"Would you like some help cleaning that?" Eddie asked Arfur as he left to get his dustpan and broom.
"No, I've got it don't worry!"
Seedos hummed to himself happily, tossing a Snapdragon seed into his seed pack. He walked along happily, a little close to his brothers place. He looked at the twisted tree, wanting to visit his brother a little bit.
He's probably out right now... I wonder if-
"SEEDOS! Seedos HELP!" Dustin cried from behind, interrupting the Seed Merchant's thoughts. Seedos turned, almost screaming at the sight. Dustin's clear face was stained red with blood, his eyes wide and his legs were shaking as blood ran down them and off his arms.
"D-Dustin! What happened?" Seedos screamed, his arms flailing. Dustin breathed heavily.
"I-I don't know! The Mallowolf's-" He was interrupted by a sudden barraged of coughs, falling to his knees. Seedos ran over, kneeling down in front of him.
"Where's your alert system? You need to call Patch!"
"I-It's broken! Y-You'll have to help me to the villaaaaaa..." He said, zoning out a bit. Seedos panicked, throwing one of the boys arms over his shoulder.
"Okay, work with me Dustin! We can do this! Just one foot in front of the other..."
"So you have no idea what this is about?" Arfur asked, polishing a new glass this time. Eddie shook his head.
"No, and he has 5 minutes or I am leaving, because I really have things I have to do-"
"PATCH! PATCH ARE YOU IN THERE?" Seedos shouted, suddenly bursting though the doors of the inn, supporting a bloody Dustin. Arfur dropped his glass again, and Eddie jumped up from his seat.
"Dustin? Seedos, what happened? Why didn't you take him to the clinic?"
"Oh don't worry Lizard I'm fine!" Dustin said happily, shoving Seedos into the booth. Seedos scrambled up quickly, looking really confused.
"B-But-"
"Fake blood Seedamor!" Dustin said, racing back over to the door. Eddie was dumbfounded.
"... What just happened?" He asked. Seedos shook his head.
"I don't know! He came up to me covered in blood and asked me to take him to the village-"
"SPARCTICUS GET YOUR FAT ASS IN HERE WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY DAMMIT!" Dustin shouted outside the door.
"-He told me Patch was in here so I brought him here and learned he was faking..."
"DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT FRANNIE! I HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY WHATEVER THE HELL I FEEL LIKE!"
"Why would Patch be in here?" Eddie asked. Seedos shrugged.
"He told me not to ask questions."
"DON'T THROW PAPER CLIPS AT ME- OW THAT HIT MY EYE!" Dustin cried out, shutting the door. He turned to the two guys, his right eye all teary.
"... Don't cuss around Frannie. She gets really mad." He said, taking a seat at the booth. He was getting angry glares from all sides.
"Well those aren't pretty faces."
"Okay Dustin, what are you up too?" Eddie asked, crossing his arms.
"Why did you scare me like that? I thought you were hurt!" Seedos cried, slapping Dustin in the arm.
"And you owe me two new glasses!" Arfur said from far away. Dustin smirked.
"Just one second, Sparcticus-" As if on cue, the door opened, revealing the large eskimo man in the doorway. His gaze fell over the guys, and saw Dustin smiling happily with dried red stuff on his face.
"You called for a 'Fat Ass'?" Sparcticus said coldly. Dustin smiled, as if he said nothing at all.
"Yeah yeah get over here Sparty!" He said happily, beckoning for the man to come over. Sparcticus walked over slowly, a chill filling the room as he entered completely. He took his seat, staring at Dustin coldly. Dustin looked around, smiling like a complete goof.
"God, will you tell us what were going here already?" Eddie said impatiently.
"And why you pretended you were dying?" Seedos said angrily. Dustin waved him off.
"All in a second- I have a plan, and I need your guys help with it!"
"Yeah, tomorrow night at 8:00, okay?" Maddie said happily, handing Maxime the last invitation she had. Maxime read it over and frowned.
"No giant costumes?"
"Oh yeah... Sorry Maxime. Your bird costume is too big and might take up too much room in the house-"
"Flapyakshit. Your still scared of giant pinata's."
"... SO? JUST- Be there." Maddie said calmly, walking away.
"You want us all to go and spy on the girl's slumber party?" Eddie asked in disbelief. Dustin nodded vigorously. Sparcticus shook his head.
"No. Just no." He said, getting up. Dustin sprang out in front of him.
"Oh come on Sparty-"
"I am not spying on a bunch of girls at a sleepover. Not only is it wrong, it's kinda perverted."
"Sparty, it's a bunch of girls. Alone. In PJs. How are you not curious about what they are doing in there?"
"Because it is none of our business."
"He has a point Dustin. That's an invasion of privacy!" Seedos chimed in from behind. Dustin shot him a glare before looking up at Sparcticus.
"Come on Sparcticus! What do you have to lose?"
"My sanity."
"... If you don't, I'll tell everyone who you like!" Dustin threatened. Sparcticus glared down, and leaned in.
"I don't like anyone."
"Yes you do. Eddie told me." Sparcticus whipped around to Eddie, who paled.
"He threatened to tell everyone about the panties!" He defended. Sparcticus gave him a long, lingering, icy stare, and sat back down. Eddie looked away.
"I don't get why you would even want to do this." He said. Dustin rolled his eyes.
"I'm curious, okay? Aren't you?"
"..."
"That's what I thought."
"I'm not doing this. I'm sorry, but you can count me out!" Seedos said, crawling out of the booth. Dustin stood in his way.
"Don't give me that Seedamor!"
"Dustin, my sister will be there! Do you have any idea what she will do to me if she finds out I was spying on her at a friends house? I'm NOT going!"
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not!"
"Seedos-"
"No! I'm LEAVING." Seedos said, giving the blonde boy a slight shove. Dustin whimpered.
"Come on Seedos-"
"No. And don't ever trick me like that again, unless you want a bunch of weeds in your precious Mallowolf house!" He threatened, walking out angrily. Dustin looked offened.
"FINE! WHO NEEDS YOU!" He shouted, turning on his heels back to the other two, "Meet outside Maddie's house tomorrow at 7:30 in the bushes. DON'T forget it." And with that, he was gone, leaving Eddie and Sparcticus alone in the booth.
"... So, we are stuck doing this then, huh?"
"Only because you blabbed about-"
"I'm sorry, okay! Geez..."
"... Panties."
"SHUT UP!"
