It was a nice spring day in the Stein household. Bendy was currently in the treehouse reading books, while Henry and Linda were tending to the farm and garden. Where was Dash? She's currently in the kitchen looking for a snack. It seems like she found what she was looking for: a jar of cookies and a freshly baked pie.She quickly makes her move and swiped both desserts, and dug in...
Meanwhile, Bendy had finished his book and was deciding on what to read next, but he soon felt a bit hungry. Perfect time to take a break and get a snack. He soon made his way to the kitchen... only to come face to face with his twin, having finished off the pie and cookies. There was a bit of an awkward silence between them... until Dash gave him a sheepish look, having been caught. She was, in a sense saying; "this isn't what it looks like..."
Bendy sighed. "You know mom and dad are going to kill you right?" she blew a raspberry at him and patted her tummy a few times. Basically she didn't care. Her brother was getting a bit angry and suddenly slipped into a Brooklyn accent... "Ey! Look at me when I'm talkin' to ya!" Dash however continued to ignore him, while he ranted on about punishments and consequences. She eventually got up... or rather got on all fours, and left out of the kitchen... but not before she smacked her twin in the face with her tail.
Poor Bendy was highly annoyed at this point and started to clean up the mess she had left behind, all while muttering to himself. Soon thereafter, Henry and Linda walked in talking about how they couldn't wait to try the desserts they made... only to be met with Bendy cleaning up the evidence of what was left...
Another silence occurred as Bendy looked at what he was doing and at his teed off parents... repeating the process several times, before finally saying: "this isn't what it looks like..."
Henry was calm, but you can tell that he was LIVID... " Didn't Linda and I tell you both not to touch the desserts...?" "Yeah but--" the father held up his hand to silence Bendy. "And what are you doing now?" "Cleaning up Dash's mess..." Now it was Linda's turn to speak. "Pinning the blame on your sister isn't cool, Benjamin..." Bendy winced at hearing his first full name... that meant that he was in big trouble. "But I'm innocent! I caught Dash in here eating the pie and cookies! I had just came from outside!"
Sadly his parents didn't believe him and even showed him Dash fast asleep on the couch, causing Bendy to sputter "but... but... she was just in there before you two came in... there's no way she's asleep! She's faking!"
To prove she is, Henry went over and gently shook her. Sure enough, Dash woke up like she had been sleeping for a good while, causing Bendy's jaw to drop. Henry then wrapped her up in a blanket and carried her to the bedroom, while Linda carried Bendy by the nape... all while he struggled.In the bedroom, Bendy was put in the time out corner and Dash put down for another nap. Henry pets her head. "I dunno what's gotten into your brother, but hopefully you'll have a nice nap." Dash just gave him a small smile.The parents then left the kids alone... which was a pretty bad idea... cause as soon Bendy was sure the coast was clear he went over and slugged his twin right in the gut... hard I might add. Dash woke with a start and nearly threw up, but managed to block it. She looked really hurt by her brother's actions, but he wasn't having it. "Quit ya acting... I knew exactly what ya did so I would take da fall... how could've I been so stupid... ya acute hearing tip you off that mom and dad were coming in soon, which is why ya walked off..."
As he continues to monologue, he fails to realize that Dash had her whistle in her mouth and only saw at the last minute... "Don't ya dare blow dat..." she shot him a hurtful glare that said, "watch me..." and she blew it long enough for the neighbors to hear.
At this Bendy faded cause, not from the fact that Dash blew the whistle, but from the fact that he's in deeper trouble than before..."Dashie? Everything alright?" Henry asked, as he and Linda made their way in the bedroom. She shook her head, eyes watery. "What's wrong?" She pointed at Bendy, whom was backing up into a corner. At this the parents turned to the gray and white toon... "Benjamin Devil Stein what did you do...?" Bendy was shaking and silently begged Dash not to tell. She didn't listen to him, still hurt from what he did. She tugged on Henry's shirt to get his attention and started up a game of charades. She held up six fingers and once again points at Bendy for the first word. For the second word she made a punching motion. For the third word she pointed at herself. "Bendy punched me..." Henry trailed off and glared at Bendy, but soon turned his attention back to Dash. "Where did he punch you at?" She then revealed her swollen tummy causing Henry to grab Bendy by the nape. "Why did you punch her?!" He flinched at this and couldn't respond. So, Henry took him to another room, that has nothing in it except for a bed. "This'll be your room, until you decide to make peace with your sister..." at that he left his son to think about his actions.
Bendy just set on the bed quietly... he did feel bad for punching Dash, but his anger got the better of him... now he was alone and grounded until who knows when... maybe he should just run away... It's obvious that they love Dash more, with her being the youngest and they didn't even believe him earlier... he looked out the window quietly... "..."
Meanwhile, the parents were taking care of Dash, who was still recovering from the punch. They were giving her pudding and ice cream to cheer her up, still unaware she had sweets earlier. By now, Dash felt really sick, not from the punch, but from being overloaded with more sugar. She tried to tell her mom she didn't want anymore, but Linda took it the other way around and continued to feed her more. Poor Dash, all she could do was continue to swallow. The taste was bland and her poor tummy was even fuller than before. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and passed out. It was then Linda got the hint and seems to realize that she over did it.
Unbeknownst to them, Bendy saw what happened and sighs. "I could've told them that she didn't want anymore, since I can understand her better but..." and with that he left.
Back with Linda, she was putting Dash in her onesie, but having a hard time... you could probably guess why... anyway, she somehow managed to get all the buttons closed and soon laid Dash in bed. Soon enough, Linda came back with a bottle of warm milk, which caused Dash's eyes to dilate. She quickly shook her head in a "no" like manner, but this was only met with the bottle going in her mouth... she tried to push it out but to no avail. Dash helplessly drinks the milk, which instead of most of it going down, seeps out of the corners of her mouth.
After what seemed like hours, which it was only ten minutes, Linda left so Dash could sleep... but she couldn't... she was just too sick and she had to constantly fight the urge to throw up, if anything she looked grayer than Bendy did earlier.
She tried to sleep, but her acute hearing picked up sounds like the bedroom window was opening. She froze in place scared and shut her eyes. Was she being kidnapped? She didn't want to know. She listened as whoever it was made their way to her bedside and stop. She was trembling hard. Then she felt someone poking her overstuffed gut and then sigh. They sounded upset if anything. Dash still didn't look to see who it was. The stranger then lifted her up slightly in a cradling position, and started giving her belly rubs. Dash started to relax a little bit cause the rubs felt nice... and so familiar... she soon got her answer when she heard this: "you're so sick, you couldn't even pick up my scent..."
It was Bendy. He had come back. But why? And why was he taking care of her now after he'd hurt her feelings earlier? So many questions swam through Dash's mind, but in all honesty, she was glad he was back. He then spoke once more; "listen, Dash, do you want to call a truce? Let's face it... we need each other and being separated like that won't do either of us any good..." she agreed, and besides she's too attached to him to hold a grudge. "I also want to apologise for punching you earlier... I was just so angry about what went down and my emotions got the better of me..." Dash then nipped his hand, tho abit gently. She was pretty much warning him not to do it again. He got the hint. "Are the rubs helping any?" She looked at him with a pained expression and shook her head. He gently poked around her gut again and one of the buttons on her onesie popped off. "Those buttons are pretty strong..."
He didn't get a response from Dash which had him worried. He then got up and carried her to the bathroom, fearing something might be coming up soon. He then laid her in the bathtub, which thankfully was dry. Next he got the trash can and told her to "have at it". And have at it she did. Bendy turned away cause it was gross of course.The noises woke up Henry and Linda who soon came up and saw Bendy standing in the bathroom doorway. They were about to ask him what's he doing out of the other bedroom... or how he got out for that matter, but the sound of Dash's wretching had them forget it and check on her. "Mom you overfed Dash earlier, that's why she's really sick..." "I was only trying to cheer her up..." "next time she turns her head away, it means she doesn't want anything else." He then turned to leave, when Henry told him to stop."What is it, old man?" "Look, I'm sorry for not listening to you... but you should know better not to disobey us... or blame your sister." At this Bendy smirked slightly. "I apologise if my hunger got the better of me and as for blaming Dash, I was just screwing around. I'm sure you did the same thing with your siblings." "Well yeah, but you seemed so angry earlier..." Once again, Bendy smirked. "Wonderful actor, aren't I?" At that, Henry couldn't say anything else. "Just let me know when she's done and I'll put her to bed myself..." And with that, Bendy teleported to the roof to do some more reflecting.
After a couple more hours, the parents had cleaned up Dash and change out her onesie for regular pajamas... though her tummy still poked out little. It looked like she could sleep easy now, so Bendy was called and he scooped up his little sister and went to their bedroom. "You want more rubs?" She nodded. "Alright..." Bendy then proceeded to give her more tummy rubs while he gently rocked her.
After a bit, he heard steady breathing coming from her. She had fallen asleep. He smiled gently as he got up and tucked her in. He then got in the top bunk and was soon out as well. The next morning, things seem to have gone back to normal as Bendy was no longer on punishment, Dash was eating soft food for a while as her appetite was getting back on track. She wasn't too fond of sweets anymore (for the time being) as the parents found out when they tried to give her a cookie and she ran. Yup, things seem to be back to normal in the Stein household...
