Cyclops pov
As I was about to walk towards the group, I stop and thought to myself, 'Wait a minute Cade, you can't just walk up to them looking like a psychotic killer. Maybe I should take off my horns from my helmet, just until they trust me enough, and this shirt should cover my body. Boy am I glad Reginald found it in mint condition and gave it to me instead of Benny, he would have destroyed it in ten minutes. Wait, oh shit, I nearly forgot those two. I wish that those two made it out safe, but judging on what that blob did to the Lovlies, I doubt they made it out. But I got to have hope.' I then proceed to put in the red shirt, and took off my horns from my helmet. The reason I didn't took off my helmet is because I don't want to scare them with my face, especially with my only good eye. After I made myself look as non threatening as I can, I took a deep breath , and begin walking towards the group.

As Cyclops walks towards the group, they didn't notice him walking towards them until the skunk said "Hey, who is that tall boy?" The group then look at Cyclops seeing him walking towards them. Cyclops stopped in his tracks and both the group and Cyclops looked at each other without saying a word. Cyclops broke the silence by saying "Hello there, do not be afraid me. I am not going to hurt you, my name is Cyclops." The group was nervous for a bit, except for Pibby, for she seems to be happy to find a new friend. "Well hello there, my name is Pibby and these are my friends BunBun the bunny, Scooter the skunk, Lauren the Ladybug, David the Dinosaur, and up there is Sunny the sun." Said Pibby while pointing out who is who. Cyclops then look the each of Pibby friends who seems to be nervous. Pibby saw that her friends nervous, so she said "Hey guys, don't worry about him, he may look unusual, but he is friendly. It is what I say, you can make any friend." After Pibby said that, her friends got a bit more comfortable, begins to greet Cyclops.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Cyclops" Said BunBun. "It is nice to meet you too, and you can just call me Cyclops." Said Cyclops. BunBun nodded to Cyclops request. "So where are you from, Cyclops?" Asked David. Cyclops thought about how should he respond to David's question, if he told where he is from, it would traumatized them for life. "Well, I came from a not so good place, where we are forced to eat one type of food, and drink one type of drink. Both of them are very bland." Replied Cyclops. "Wait so you have never tried cake? Asked Pibby shocked. "Well I did, but an event happened that caused every sweets and different types of food to disappear." Replied Cyclops. "Oh my goodness." Said Lauren. "I know this maybe selfish of me, but do any of you have anything for me to eat, because I am hungry." "Oh course, you can. In fact let's all of us have a picnic." Said Pibby. The rest of the group yelled "Yeah." "All right, this is going to be so much fun. Said Pibby. "Fun" said some female voice, while the word 'fun' appeared above them. Pibby saw that Cyclops got spooked by this, and told him "Do not worry about that, this happens sometimes, but it helps us with learning." Cyclops calm down from what Pibby said. Pibby then grabbed Cyclops hand and begins to drag him to a hill, while the group went to their house to get some food and drinks for their picnic.
While waiting for a while on the hill, the group came to the hill with many food and drinks. Cyclops was mesmerized by the smell and look of the food. When he took a bite from Scooter's sandwich, he forgot about everything that happened, and begins to fall in a trance. "Uhhh. Are you ok there, Cyclops?" Asked Scooter. Cyclops then snapped out of it and replied "Sorry about it. It's just that I haven't had anything this good in forever." "Well in that case, enjoy the meal we have made. A friend of Pibby is a friend of ours. You can try out food and drinks, you look like you haven't eaten a while." Said Lauren. Cyclops then thanks them, begins to eat some of their food they gave to him slowly, savoring them. As they all eat, Cyclops asked about what does each member of the group what they do. Each of them told Cylops that they spend most of their time learning new things, with Pibby as their teacher. The group then asked Cyclops about what he do in his old home. Cyclops begins to tell them about his old group just being travelers, but he made sure that he left out every bad things in his story. They listen to his story, fascinated with it. As they continue to eat, Bun-Bun the. asked "Um Cyclops, why do you eat with your weird hat?" "Well one, it is a helmet, a type of hat that protects your head and to answer your question, I really don't like to reveal my face to other people, not even to my old friends." Replied Cyclops. "But why?" Asked BunBun. Cyclops then replied "If all of you notice, I only have one eye. That is the reason for it, but I don't want to explain it. So, please don't poke into it, I just don't like talking about it." The group nod their head, accept Cyclops request.
The group kept eating until there is no more food. After they ate, Sunny then said "hey there friends, it is time to go sleep." Cyclops then looked at the group who look tired, and said "Hey, let me carry all of you to your house. It is the least I could do to repay you for the nice meal you gave me." The group accepted his offer, so Cyclops begins to carry each of them, all of them seems to be very light. Each member guided Cyclops to each of their own home, with Pibby and BunBun being the last one. "So where do you two live?" Asked Cyclops. Pibby said tiredly "Well, we both live in the same house, and it is near by. Just keep going straight, and when we get there you can put us down, so I can unlock the door." Cyclops then walked straight and made it to the house. He then gently put both of them down, and Pibby unlocked the door and both of them entered.Cyclops was about to leave, but Pibby asked "Hey wait, where are you going? Don't you want to sleep?" "Well yes, I was about to sleep somewhere on the field." Replied Cyclops. "You don't need to do that, you are my friend, so as a friend, I want to you sleep comfortably." Cyclops thought about it for a while, then said "Ok, I guess so. I mean I haven't had a good sleep in while." Pibby smiled, at Cyclops response and let him in.
As they both went in, they saw BunBun setting up a makeshift bed in the living room. "I knew he would come, so I made this bed for you." Said Bun-Bun. "Wow, thank you so much." Said Cyclops. "You're welcome, now if you don't mind, I am heading to bed." Said Bun-Bun as he walked towards his room. "Well, I guess I should head to bed now. I'll see you in the morning. So goodnight." Said Pibby as she is heading to her room. "Ok Pibby, thank you for everything, and goodnight to you too." Said Cyclops. Cyclops then got into the makeshift bed and as he thought to himself 'Wow this is a really comfy bed, can't remember when was the last time I slept on a bed.' As Cyclops was about to fall asleep, he then thought 'Wait, how am I going to explain to them about the blob, or that I need to leave soon. Hmmm, maybe I should stay here for just a while tomorrow, and I'll leave to find some help to fight that thing. I am going to miss them, they seemed to be the nicest group of people I have met. You know, calling that thing the blob seems cliché, so I think I'll call it the glitch, cause it reminds me of the glitches that appeared in the arcade games I used to play when I was younger. Now it is time to sleep now.' After thinking for some time, Cyclops fell asleep. He slept so good that he never wants to wake up again.
Sunny rose from the hills and said "Good Morning everyone. It is time to wake up." Everyone woke up calmly by Sunny announcement. "Good Morning Cyclops, how did you sleep last night?" Asked BunBun as he walked into the living room. Cyclops replied "I slept great, it's been a long time since I have slept in a bed. Also I must asked, does Sunny always says 'Good Morning' every morning." Pibby then walked into the room, and said "Oh yes, but it is very helpful for us, because if we wake up late, we will miss most of the fun." Cyclops then nodded, accepting Pibby answer to his question. After getting up Cyclops, Pibby, and BunBun then walked to the kitchen. Pibby then begins to make oatmeal, and after cooking for a while served it. After they ate, they then left the house and met with the others. "Hey guys, there you are, are you ready to have some fun." Said Scooter. "I am so ready to have fun." Said BunBun. "To begin the fun, I'll sing my song." Said Pibby and after she said it, the word sing appeared with the voice. "That does sounds fun, can't wait to hear your song." Said Cyclops. "Then get ready." Said Pibby. Cyclops sat down on the field, while Pibby gets ready to sing.
Pibby then began to sing her song. (Disclaimer, I don't own the Pibby theme song, it belongs to its rightful owner.)
Learning with Pibby. Leaning is so fun.
We like to spell and we love to hug.

Unfortunately, the ground begins to shake knocking everyone to the floor. Cyclops then thought 'What the hell, I thought this is a safe place.' "What is that" asked Pibby scared. They all look at the distance to see the glitch coming towards them. Cyclops looked at the glitch in fear thinking that it must have followed him. "It's coming! Run, run, run, run!" Yelled Pibby, as she and the others run away from the glitch. Cyclops then snapped out of it and yelled "Get away from it, whatever you do, don't touch it! Yelled Cyclops as he begins to run with the gang. They ran as fast as they can to get away, BunBun fell down to the ground, but Pibby got him back up saying. "Come on! Go, go, go." They ran to their house for safety, but not everyone got away from it. Sunny was the first to get consumed, then Scooter, David, and Lauren. The only ones left were Pibby, BunBun, and Cyclops. Cyclops then grabbed the two and managed to evade the glitch's tentacles before going into David's house. As he put them down, Pibby then ran to the door to close it. "Ok I'll go find something to block the door, just stay here and make sure that thing doesn't find us in here." Cyclops whispered loudly. He then began to search around the house to something to barred the doors, and also find something to fight the glitch off with making any contact. 'They may not know what violence is, but it's for the best if I teach them, because I knew that the glitch would come here. I just didn't think it get here sooner.' Cyclops thought as he rummaged through the house.
While Cyclops search through the house, Pibby and BunBun catch their breath for a while. They just can not believe that their friends are gone. "Pibby, I'm scared." Said BunBun almost in tears. Pibby then got closer to BunBun to hug him saying "Don't worry, BunBun. I'll always keep you safe." This reassure BunBun that everything will be fine. Cyclops then came back, saying "Sorry guys there is nothing here that will block the doors and windows. We need to leave this town now, and find safe place to rest." Both of them looked shocked, what Cyclops said was insane. But then Pibby remember something that Cyclops said when they were running away. "Wait a minute, you said that we should not touch that thing. Do you met with it before?" Asked Pibby. Cyclops said "I did, but I'll tell you about later, for now we need to get out of here." Pibby and BunBun look at each other, and silently agreeing that they need to leave. They then nodded to Cyclops and BunBun asked "Where are we going?" "It is very simple, we go to the farthest place we can go and rest there, do you where is the farthest place." Said Cyclops. Pibby and BunBun both had a look of concerned in there face, and Pibby said "I am sorry but we never really traveled far from our town." Cyclops silently cursed under his breath making sure that both of them didn't hear him. "Ok then, just hop on my back and I'll just try to find somewhere secluded." Said Cyclops.
Just as he said that a tentacle broke through the wall. All of them screamed in fear, and Cyclops broke through the wall with his helmet urging Pibby and BunBun to run. They went through the wall and ran as fast as they can. But they didn't get far, with the glitch surrounding them. All of them tried to stay away from the glitch, but a tentacle grab hold I to BunBun leg. BunBun screamed in fear grabbing the other two attention. Pibby and Cyclops then tried to pull BunBun out from the glitch, but it was difficult to try to pull him out with touching the glitch. BunBun was then ripped out from Pibby and Cyclops grip. "Pibby!" That was the last thing BunBun said before being engulfed by the glitch. Pibby yelled "Noooo!" Seeing her best friend gone. Cyclops then looked around trying to find an opening for them to escape, but it seems like this was the end for them. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" Yelled Pibby as the glitch got closer. Cyclops then hugged Pibby saying "Don't worry, everything will be fine, just close you eyes." As Pibby cried into Cyclops shirt, the glitch got closer and closer until they were both teleported to a random place with words appearing behind them, and the song Pibby sang, being sung by someone else. Both of them looked confused, with Pibby asking "Where are we?" Cyclops looked confused, but he saw a logo of a specific animation studio, he realize that this dimension is actually a show. Cyclops then said "I don't know, but we got very lucky, we got away." Pibby then remembered what happened and begins to cry. "What is happening? Why is that thing chasing us? What will happen to my friends?" Sobbed Pibby. Cyclops was not the type of person to comfort someone sad, but he have to comfort Pibby, because she lost all of her friends, like him. He put his hand on her back and said "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Like I said this happened to me too." "Then why didn't you warned us about it!" Pibby said angrily with tears in her eyes. Cyclops replied "Well if I did, all of you would either think of it as a joke, or be really scared. I really wanted to tell all of you, but I didn't want to scared all of you. Pibby then thought about it for a couple of seconds, then said "Ok, I know you have lied to us, but you did it to protect us. So I guess you did the right thing. Besides, I shouldn't be angry at the person who tried to save us." Cyclops then gave out a small smile and said "Thank you, Pibby. I have really tried my best. But at least I managed to save you." "So what are we going to do now?" Asked Pibby. "Well we can't stay here, even if we are teleported away from the glitch, I have a feeling that it may find us here, so we need to get out of here." Said Cyclops. "But how do we get out of here!" Asked Pibby. "With this." Said Cyclops as he pulled out the remote. "This remote will teleport us to a different place, my plan was to use it to find someone smart enough to fight that thing." Said Cyclops. "Wow." Said Pibby fascinated by Cyclops idea. "I was planning on doing it solo, but since you are with me now, I have to take you with me." Said Cyclops. "Wait, what!" Asked Pibby. Cyclops then said "Well yeah, I can't just leave you here with the glitch, so we both don't pretty have much of a choice. But the choice is yours if you want to come or not." Pibby went silent and thought about Cyclops offer. If she stays here she might get eaten by the glitch, but she'll be with BunBun again. If she comes with him, she will have to leave her home, travel to new places she doesn't know, but she'll be safe from the glitch.
After some think, Pibby said "Ok, I guess I'll go with you. Only if you promise me that we can save BunBun and all of our friends from that thing." Cyclops then replied "Ok, I promise. But I really need you to think about your decision. Because once we travel to another dimension, which is a different place by the way, you can never go back to your home, because this remote will only let us travel forward but never backwards." "Not only that, the people in other dimensions might not be friendly as your friends, so there is a chance we can't get any help from everyone. They might hurt us for fun. So think about this really hard. Do you really want to do this?" Asked Cyclops. Pibby thought about it and said with a smile "Yes I am sure of it. There is nothing left for me here. And maybe I can learn from you about the other di-mention." Cyclops smiled back and said "It's dimensions, and I am glad to hear that. I don't really know about the other dimensions, but I don know how about what kind of people there." They both smiled and laughed for a while, and then Pibby hold onto Cyclops hands. "All right then, hold on. This maybe bumpy." Said Cyclops as he pushed the button. Both of them are engulfed by light and teleported to the next dimension with a mission to defeat the glitch and save their friends.
End of Chapter 1.
I hope you like this chapter, because in the next chapter, Pibby and Cyclops will meet a group of meddling kids with their dog, and a superhero and his sidekick. Only to realize that the glitch spreads faster then they expected.
