Chapter 2
Master Frown's Terrible Day
Today was another dark and depressing day in Frown Town. In the midst of the dreary day, Master Frown rushed through the town because he was late for a meeting with the other doom lords.
"I can't believe that I'm late for another meeting!" Master Frown panted, running as fast as he could. "This is the last time I'd stay up late to watch a movie marathon with Brock!"
It wasn't long before the doom lord finally reached the meeting hall. Master Frown took a deep breath before he opened the front doors. As he stepped into the lair, Master Frown found himself surrounded by the other doom lords, each of them staring at him in an intimidating manner.
"You're late!" Master Doom growled as Master Frown made his way to the center of the room.
"I'm so sorry, Master Doom!" Master Frown tried to apologize. "I was watching a bunch of movies with Brock last night and-"
"I don't care!" Master Doom interrupted. "Now Frown, you have been with us for a long time, correct?"
"Uh, of course." replied Master Frown. "Being a doom lord is what I'm good at."
Master Doom nodded. "Yes. Unfortunately for you, your days as a doom lord are at an end. Master Frown, you're fired!"
At first, Master Frown was left in shock. He hoped that he misheard his boss. They couldn't let him go after all the misery he spread throughout the Unikingdom. "Wh-what? But I-I don't understand." Master Frown stammered.
"I'm sure that you recall when I told you to take over the Unikingdom." Master Doom explained. "I gave you simple orders to reveal the psycho beast's crush on her brother and seize power over the kingdom. Since you couldn't even keep your reign, we don't need you anymore!"
"No! I've been a doom lord for years! You can't do this to me!"
Once again, Master Frown's boss cut him off. "Silence! I already gave you your chance, Frown! You are a pathetic excuse for a doom lord and you are no longer welcome here! Get out!"
"Please just give me one more chance!" Master Frown begged. "I can prove that I still deserve to be a doom lord!"
The room remained silent as Master Doom considered giving him a second chance. After a couple of moments, Master Doom finally made up her mind as she said, "Very well! I suppose it would be amusing to watch you fail. If you are able to prove yourself worthy to still be a doom lord, then you can keep your job, but I doubt that it would happen. It's only a matter of time before you will lose your job." Master Doom gave a sinister grin as Master Frown gave a nervous gulp.
Once the meeting came to an end, Master Frown began his long walk back home. Master Frown spent this time trying to think of a good way to save his job. Being a doom lord was the one thing that he was good at, and Master Doom will take it all away. The more Master Frown thought about his situation, the more his fear turned into anger towards Unikitty and Puppycorn. The royal siblings were the reasons why his reign over the kingdom came to an end and why he was in this situation in the first place.
The doom lord soon entered his apartment and slammed the door in anger. He turned to find Brock, who was playing one of his video games. Once Brock realized that his roommate was back, he turned around and waved to Master Frown.
"Hey, dude! How was the meeting?" Brock asked.
"Awful, Brock! I'm going to be fired unless I can think of the perfect way to cause sadness throughout the kingdom!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." Brock sympathized with his roommate. "Hey, maybe a quick round of this game would help you relax a little. I could use a second player!"
The doom lord stared at Brock as if he said the most ridiculous suggestion ever. "How could you possibly be thinking of video games at a time like this? My job is on the line!" he yelled. "This is all Unikitty and Puppycorn's fault! If it hadn't been for them, I would still be ruling over the Unikingdom!"
"Oh, yeah. I heard that those two are planning on taking a trip to Doki Diamond Fun Land!" Brock recalled, still keeping his attention on his game.
"If that's true, then I'll have to make sure that they have the worst vacation ever!" Master Frown gave a sinister grin.
With a sigh, Brock paused the game before facing his roommate. "Come on, man! We should just leave Unikitty and Puppycorn alone! We took there home away from them, remember?" Brock explained, still feeling guilty for the trouble he caused.
"Don't you see, Brock? This is the perfect opportunity to save my job." Master Frown explained. "If I ruin their perfect vacation, the doom lords would be begging me to come back. Who knows? I might even break up Unikitty and Puppycorn! That would be the perfect revenge!"
"That's enough, dude!" Brock suddenly snapped.
The sudden anger of his roommate was enough to cause Master Frown to jump back in shock. Brock was usually a chill guy, so it was a real shock for Master Frown to find him so mad.
"Whoa! What are you so mad about?" Master Frown asked, surprised by his friend's outburst.
"How could you be so selfish? Unikitty was always kind to you, despite all that you've done to her! She invited you to all of her parties, she defended you when the doom lords mocked you to the point of tears, and she even gave you a lollipop replica after hearing about your disaster of a birthday party! Now, you're going to repay her by destroying her beautiful relationship with Puppycorn?"
"Beautiful?" Master Frown repeated. "Brock there is nothing beautiful about their relationship! It's incest!"
"I don't care, man!" Brock argued. "That's no excuse to interfere with their love like that! I wish I never helped you take over the Unikingdom!"
Suddenly a silent sob escaped from Brock before he started to cry. As he heard this, Master Frown's angry expression started to fade as he started to feel sorry for his friend. The doom lord normally takes joy in other people's misery, but Brock was the one person who he hated to see cry.
"You know, despite all the terrible things you've done, I always thought that you were a good guy deep down. I guess I was wrong." Brock then turned away from his friend, hiding his tears.
"Brock I-" Master Frown tried to place a hand on Brock's shoulder to comfort him, but Brock merely slapped it away.
"Look, I don't think I can be with you right now. I'm leaving!" Brock then made his way to the front door.
"Wait! Brock, where are you going?" Master Frown tried to stop his friend from leaving.
"I think I'll take that trip to Doki Diamond Fun Land too. Don't bother coming with me!"
It was at that moment when Brock stepped out of the apartment, leaving Master Frown all by himself. The doom lord couldn't believe what was happening. It was bad enough that he was about to lose his job, but Master Frown couldn't stand the thought of losing his only friend. Without Brock, he was nothing.
AN: Poor Master Frown! He had the worst day ever, only to lose his best friend in the end! So anyway, thank you to everyone who read my story. I hope you are enjoying it so far. It might be a while before I publish my next chapter. Please be patient, and I'll try to write the next chapter soon.
