"are we there yet?"

Jack sighed. "no, Dave, we're not 'there yet'." Dave had been asking that same damned question for hours. him, Dave and Steven had been exploring the forest they were in for what felt like days, they had no phone or any sort of communication, which was upsetting, then agian, Dave and Steven were souls just hours earlier, Jack had no soul, not since that day, that promise...

as they continued walking, something felt.. off.. as if they were being watched, Jack vocalized this thought. "hey, guys.." Steven and Dave stopped walking turned to jack, non existent ears ready. "does if feel as if we're being... watched?" Dave thought for a moment, before Steven spoke up. "um, kind of, I felt something on me, uhh" Jack nodded at his ex-bosses response on the matter. "now that ye mention it, jack, i've felt as if weee.." Dave trailed off as his face turned a paler purple. his pupils shrunk as his eyes were locked on something. "Dave?" jack waved a hand in front of the eggplant's face, before turning to where he was staring, and froze at what he saw, there were red eyes staring back, alot of red eyes. dozens, at least..

"shit.."

just after Jack swore, one of them came charging at him, this creature looked like a big bear, with bone plating, and mask. other that that, it was completely black. Jack yelped and jumped away from the bear-thing, which crashed into the tree behind Jack, Dave and Steven looked shocked, before realizing that there were more things, Steven, Jack, and Dave formed a triangle, back to back, Jack had a focused look on his face, his black and purple suit had a scratch mark on the left sleeve. Steven had a Rotary phone, similar to his head, in his hands, ready to bash some dicks in. and Dave had a... Sledge hammer?

The other Fazbender slaves looked at the once kiddie strangler, who in turn looked at them "what? I always carry one of these motherfuckers where ever i go, since... the incident.. Jack and Steven shuddered at the mention of that day... that's why they now had irrational fear of tuna... crazy lady. that one... then another Bear thing charged at them, but Steven smashed the phone on its skull, caving it in. he repeated the motion a few times, the other things winced as they heard one of their cubs being bashed with a blunt object, then Dave swung his weapon at the cubs knees, shattering them. the cub was now,128% dead.

at seeing this, the rest of the pack decided to fuck over someone else, they felt some unnatural energy around these three. especially the orange one in a suit, he felt hollow, as if he had no soul. and the other two had massive aura reserves. as the things retreated, the phone in Steven's hands poofed from existence, jack lowered his guard a smidge, and Dave shoved his sledge hammer up his ass-

YEP!

the trio looked at the direction where the noise came from, and lo and behold... it was a Doggo, a very good boi indeed.. Dave gasped at ran over to it, picking him up, Dave smoothing his new frend with love.

Jack and Steven looked at where Dave was loving up on the doggo saying "whos a good boy? YOU ARE!" over and over agian, te doggo looked very happy in the eggplants arms. Jack sighed. today would be a very, very long day..

After telling Dave it was time to leave, the trio walked some more. Dave still held onto the doggo in his left arm, the goodboi seemed happy, panting all the while. as they walked the saw more colors up ahead, as if.. "are we nearing civilization?!" Dave exclaimed, running up to the front of the three. there was a few branches full of leaves blocking their view. Jack went up to Dave and brushed the branches to the side, reveling a small town, busy with life, it felt home-y Steven looked over his ex-coworkers shoulders to look, "well look at that, we made it to, uh, civilization!" Dave deadpanned to phoney. "thanks, phone face, its not like it right in out goddamn faces." Steven shrunk a smidge at that. "c'mon guys. lets head into town, and find some shit." Jack spoke out as he walked into the town, his comrades hot on his tail.

As they walked through the streets, people gave them stares, mostly at jack. for some reason, people looked a bit scared of the orange man. Said man was starting to get nervous, before Dave put a comforting hand on his shoulder, Jack looked at his purple counterpart and smiled a bit. Dave nodded, before putting his hand on the doggos head, petting the doggo with said hand "employee, Dave, look!" Steven pointed to a restaurant, it read "Hanks Seafood Splash.". Jack nodded. "well, lets head inside." As they walked to, then in the store, it was relatively empty, except for a Girl with a bow on her head, reading a book. there was nobody currently at the counter, so Jack went up and pressed the bell. "one minute!" a strangely familiar voice spoke, that's when the stench hit them. it smelled of-

VIRGIN.

Even without real noses, they could still smell stuff, Putting a hand on where his nose should be, jack tried to muffle the stench. That's when he arrived. clad in a grey button u shirt, blue jeans, his hands in pockets, with the exception of his thumb sticking out over the pocket, and that smile, that goddamn smile.

Jack, Steven and Dave looked shocked at who was here, they were at a lost for words, until Dave spoke

"MATT!?"
