" Sorry Barb..." Wilford said embarrassed.
" It's okay dear really! It's who you are hon. Cookies?" She replied holding a big tray of thirty two cookies to the two lovers.
They each took a few and they all sat on the couch. Anti and Sam had token themselves in on a intense competition of COD which had Mark basically jumping out of his seat in excitement. He was giggling and oohing, and ahhing. Tim was doing it too, they both acting like children. Barb left for work ten minutes later and said to watch Anti.
Tim vanished a little later and Mark sat up to make some dinner. Jack and everyone just kept on hanging out until a unmanly scream was heard through the house. Jack, and Dark, and Wilford ran into the kitchen and saw something adorable. Mark holding a burning pan of garlic bread in his hands looking confused. He dropped the plate with a bang and ran to Jack.
" I burned them... I'm sorry!" He said. He sounded young and scared.
" Mark... Are you okay buddy?" Wilford asked calmingly. Mark shook his head and picked up the garlic bread from the floor.
" It's all ruined! I broke dinner! I'm sorry guys I'm sorry!" He said plopping down on the floor sitting crisscrossed. His eyes teared up and he looked like a sad puppy. He put his hands on his face and sighed.
" Dark?" Jack asked.
" I believe Tim is at his final age. When i first came I was a year younger but I grew into being 27. When I turned 27 was the first time my mind entered Mark's. Mark is acting like a 5 year old because that was the age tim officially became part of Mark. Tim will be 8 forever I think. But, he looks ten because Mark used to be tall from age eight to age 15. So... Mark was like me for a week when I turned 27. Mark's going to act five for a week." Dark said smiling.
Jack sat next to Mark and hugged him. Mark kept apologizing to Jack about the bread and he almost cried. Jack found it adorable and just said it would be okay. They all went out to Mc. Donald's to eat. It was risky but honestly, five year old Mark was fucking adorable. Barb would make sure nothing bad happened right?
" Okay Mark, this is a car. Do you remember what it does?" Wilford said in a lighter voice to keep from scaring him.
" No but I'm hungry where's dinner?" Mark said looking around. Jack walked up to him and stood next to him. Mark seemed a little shorter than Jack was. He gave Mark a little undertale character to play with and they got him in the car.
" Hey gang the regular?...What's up with Mark?" Barb said at the register.
" Tim's going to be eight forever it seems..." Dark said quietly.
" Oh... How long?"
" Week!" Mark said excited all of a sudden.
Barb smiled and handed mark a small figure. " Be a good boy this week okay Mark? Here take good care of him!" She said. Mark nodded and looked at Jack. Jack walked to a table and left everyone else to get the food. Mark sat next to him and showed him the Small figure Barb gave him. Everything went great until it started storming outside... Thunder and a five year old Mark, fun.
-BANG-
Mark jumped and grabbed Jack. He was breathing heavily and looked terrified. Jack just rubbed his back and calmed him. It turned out, young Mark didn't like thunder.
-BANG-
The lights went out in the restaurant. Mark yelped and started hyperventilating. He stopped breathing for a while and clung to Jack for dear life. The generators kicked in, lights were on. It turned out, young Mark didn't like the dark.
-BANG CRASH-
" Let's go!" Dark said hurriedly and he grabbed the terrified Mark's hand. Mark looked up at him and clung to him tightly. Good thing fans weren't here or they would be screwed.
They ran to the car and put Mark in the back. Dark slammed on the gas and they sped off. Mark leaned his head on Jack's shoulder and fell asleep. Jack took a selfie and posted it on Twitter, captioning it " Mark looks tired. Sleep well baby:) #Babiestired
They walked in the house, Dark carrying the sleeping Mark in. He set Mark in their bed and put a night light in the room. He also put one of Tim's toys in the bed with him. Jack went in bed and turned into his head. Tim wasn't there, so he was literally Mark right now. Sam was the only one there to hangout with sense Dark, Wilford, and Anti went to unleash their anger and strength in the gym. They didn't want Wilford to get angry again.
" Uhh... So I... What do you think about Mark?" Sam asked. " Cause I think we are gunna be found out... It will go wrong."
" We will be fine... Oh he's awake. " Jack said vanishing.
Mark was sitting up in bed holding his knees crying about something. Jack shushed him softly and calmed him. Mark was sniffing but stopped crying. " What's wrong baby?" Jack hummed softly.
" It's so dark... I'm lonely." He said hugging Jack.
" Shh it's okay, I'll always be here Mark." Jack said moving Mark's hair from his face.
Mark laid down again and laid his head on Jack's lap. Jack started to hum to distract Mark. It was Greased Lightning from Grease, Mark's favorite song from his favorite musical. Mark joined in at the parts he could think of. He quickly forgot about being lonely and fell asleep. Jack kept on humming for several minutes to make sure he was asleep fully.
" We're back!" Anti said stepping in Jack's head. He was kind of sweaty, which wasn't easy. He did look a lot bigger than the first day he got to Jack's head.
" Tell Dark and Wilford that Mark's asleep and I'd like to keep it that way." He thought.
A slightly sweaty Dark and Wilford entered Jack's head and sat down. Dark kept on talking, saying everything he thought. They didn't mind much though, he couldn't talk for at least a couple weeks. And his voice cracked a lot, and it still hurt a little. But hey, if you didn't talk for a while and could finally how much would you talk?
" Dark can you shut the fuck up for a second please?" Anti said throwing a pillow at Dark.
" Can I remind you that I'm keeping your workout from Barb? If she knew about that you would be in trouble." Dark said. He couldn't exactly say t's very well.
" Aww shite... Fine please continue!" Anti said aggravated.
" Nope... I'm done anyways and Mark seems to be scared." Dark said. He went into the human world to help him calm down.
Mark was silently crying in the corner of the room. He wouldn't even let Jack talk to him nonetheless calm him down. Anti and Sam had both tried but it wouldn't work. Finally, Dark and Wilford came to help out.
" Hey markimoo, you okay? We can't help you if we don't know what's wrong." Wilford said calmly.
He shook his head and buried his head in his knees. Dark sat down next to him and tapped his shoulder. Mark's head popped out and he sniffed.
" Bad dream? You know that goblins aren't real right? Especially pink ones. You will be fine Mark i promise, and I never break my promises." Dark said.
" Prove it.. How come you never break your promises?" Mark asked.
" I promised my mother that I would save as many animals as I could. I believe I got twenty out. That's a lot right?"
Mark nodded and got up. He went out of the room and sat on the couch, playing with his fingers. Jack went out and put on the tv. He switched it to Looney Tunes and Mark watched it. Jack realized how tired he was... It was 2:30 in the morning and he went to bed at 10.
" Jack, we got this. He is basically Tim so we have it, go to sleep." Dark said reading his mind. Jack nodded gratefully and went in their room. He plopped down and fell asleep almost instantly.
" Hey Will?" Mark asked turning around in the couch.
" Yea?" Wilford asked.
" Can you answer everything?"
" ...Yes."
" How many holes in a polo?"
" Three in the word."
" How much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"
" A wood chuck can chuck lots of wood if a wood chuck could chuck wood."
" What's YouTube?"
" Your job and you hold a place in many people hearts believe it or not."
" What's the square root of a apple?"
" Peacock."
" Where do babies come from?"
" Um... Your to young to know that at the moment. I'll tell you next week!"
" You don't know do you? Well that's okay I figured you wouldn't know sense you don't have one! Well you can't know everything in the world but it's fine. I will tell you then!" Mark said excitedly.
" You know?" Dark asked smiling. " Do tell us Mark."
" Okay! So the momma goes to the store to get eggs. She eats the egg whole and the daddy goes to bed. The new day the daddy goes to the store to get poop and the momma eats it. Then, the egg grows into a tree which the babies appear from the leaves. Then, the momma pukes out the leaves and a baby is born!" Mark explained quite proud of himself.
Dark and Wilford looked at each other. They bursted out laughing and fell over. Anti and Sam appeared and asked what was so funny. Mark explained his theory and they to were left on the floor laughing.
" Am I wrong?" Mark asked sadly.
" N-No Mark your g-great! Golden heheh you should tell Jack when he wakes up!" Dark said wheezing. " Fuck that hurts."
" What does fuck mean?" Mark asked.
" Um... You and Jack do it all the time..." Anti said giggling.
" We do?" Mark asked.
" Okay, forget we said that okay? Never ever say that word mark its bad!" Wilford said giggling ever harder.
" Well okay I guess... Can we get food now?" Mark asked standing up.
They all nodded laughing. Sam and Anti went in the kitchen to find some food for Mark
