Cherry, Jack, and Billy soon took their leave and came back into the realm of Wireland. They soon came back into Jack's apartment.
"I'M BECK!" Jack called out as they came in through the hole, and he looked over. "Uh, who's that on the left?"
"I think I just rewatched that playthrough recently," Cherry said as she looked to the strange man who seemed to be guarding Jack's bedroom before looking back. "What're these goo things?"
"They're from the World of Goo, Cherry." Jack told her.
"Yeah, thanks for playing that, Jack," Billy deadpanned. "It's not like this place was totally cluttered or anything."
"Sorry, I don't think about the world inside my own computer when I choose what games to play," Jack replied. "Cherry's computer must be flooded with characters on the stuff she writes fan fiction for."
"Y'know, this whole weird situation would make a pretty sweet game or story!" Billy suggested.
"Aw, come on, Billy; no one would play a game or read a fic like that," Cherry replied. "Besides, I can't do many real person fiction on certain sites, that's why my Penn & Teller stories are obscure."
"Hey, it's Ori!" Jack smiled once he saw another character. "Cherry, this is Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest."
"Kinda looks like a Pokemon... Or do I not know what that is?" Cherry replied. "My fan fictions are taking over my life!"
They soon came up to the strange man in the room.
"Papers, please!" The man demanded in a thick European voice, almost like Gru from Despicable Me.
"Ohh... Little Potato Man!" Jack smiled. "You were always my favorite~"
"Please, Jack, I just got that song out of my head after downloading it on Spotify." Cherry said.
"Hey, is you," The man replied. "I heard you vere here. Velcome to Vireland!"
"Yeah, so, if you could move out of the way to Jack's bedroom, that'd be great." Cherry said, quoting from Office Space.
"I can't let you through unless you have right papers." The man replied.
"What papers?" Jack asked, feeling puzzled.
"You need passport and entry ticket," The man told him. "I run very strict border control."
"Well, uh... My bedroom's so great, I don't need a passport to get in." Jack smiled sheepishly.
"Haha, very funny!" The man chuckled. "Sounds familiar... But I still can't let you in."
"It's my bedroom!" Jack glared.
"Get right papers and come back," The man replied. "Glory to Arstotzka!"
"We're not even in Arstotzka!" Cherry told him. "I don't think Arstotzka is even a real country!"
"What a son of a beech." Jack mumbled as they walked away.
They soon came in the bathroom to see Sans and the bathroom was now bigger and even had a line.
"Oh, Mother of God, how did this place get so big?!" Jack wondered. "There's a lot of characters though."
"Hey," A police officer turned to them. "Have you seen a blue-haired guy in an orange jumpsuit? He seems to have escaped."
"Ethan's in jail?" Cherry asked.
"I doubt it's Ethan, Cherry, but we'll keep an eye out," Jack told both her and the guard before gasping to the next person in line and even fan boyed. "WANDER! You... You're in my favorite game of all time!"
"Hai, anata ga itta subarashī koto subete ni kansha shimasu." Wander said to Jack, speaking in Japanese.
"Ah, thank you, Wander," Jack smiled. "Just... Thank you for existing."
"Do you know what he said?" Billy asked Cherry.
"Apparently I do..." Cherry said as she looked down at a medallion she had with a symbol on it which was her Equestrian medallion from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic adventure stories.
"This is the boy from The Last Guardian," Jack told Cherry about the next person in line. "Hey, we just saw Trico outside!"
"Cool, do you want me to call him?" The boy asked.
"Nah, my door has already been blown down once," Jack chuckled. "I don't want it blown down again."
"I understand," The boy smiled. "Well, it's great to finally meet you, Jack!"
"It's great to meet you too!" Jack smiled back.
"I don't know any of these characters..." Cherry muttered.
"So much for JackSepticEye's #1 fan." Billy teased.
"Shut up, you." Cherry scolded.
"Hello, Limbo Kid..." Jack continued. "You've been here a while, I'm guessing."
The black figure didn't speak.
"And you can't talk... Sorry..." Jack then remembered since it's been a while since he last played that game before seeing another person in line and had a goofy cartoon voice. "It's Mr. Wilson!"
"Don't cut in line or I will kill you," Mr. Wilson warned. "Or just... Catch you, and make you restart."
"Noted." Jack nodded.
"Hey, Sans," Cherry greeted the comedic skeleton. "Quite a line you've got here."
"Yeah, business is booming," Sans replied. "Just a few minutes ago, this guy in an orange jumpsuit bought like 50 rolls of duct tape from me. 'Dunno why. Anyway, if you want to buy something, you're gonna have to go to the back of the line. These people have been waiting for a long time now, and I've already taken a few breaks, and slept a little... Could be a while."
"Uh... I'll pass, but thank you." Cherry nodded.
They soon came into the kitchen, and found another skeleton while Papyrus, Undyne, and Katie were in the kitchen.
"I go to the store for five minutes, and you've already ruined Jack's kitchen!" Katie scolded. "I shouldn't have done that~... Why didn't I listen to myself?"
"Uh, because you were insistent on buying some chocolate for Cherry." Papyrus replied.
Katie just sighed and face-palmed herself.
"Oh, God, what did you guys do?" Jack groaned as he saw the messy kitchen and saw the other skeleton only to feel even more unfortunate. "Oh, no, I'm gonna hear it, aren't I?"
"The Katt Williams skeleton." Cherry commented.
"Holy feces, dude!" Death said to Jack. "I heard you was here, yo! You're THE Jack! The one we live to entertain!"
"That's a weird way of putting it." Jack muttered.
"Well, that be our job!" Death said to him. "To make you and the million, bazillion people who watch you, happy!"
"Yeah, I guess that is true..." Jack replied.
"Well, it be an honor to finally make your acquaintance, dude!" Death smiled. "And, uh... Just FYI, that spaghetti on the table be a fast track to Hell if you even think about eating it, ya dig?"
"Right-o." Jack replied.
"I HEARD THAT!" Papyrus snapped.
"You two cousins or something?" Cherry joked.
"Why?" Death asked. "Is that gonna be your next crossover?"
Jack soon came to the spaghetti. "The spaghetti looks... Great!" he then said, trying be polite.
"Thank you!" Papyrus smiled. "Why don't you try some while I avoid being grounded on dates for a while?"
"You are so busted, Mister." Katie shook her head while tutting.
"I would, but you just made it look so delicious, I don't want to mess all of it up!" Jack told Papyrus about eating the spaghetti.
"Ah, of course!" Papyrus replied. "I completely understand! You want to preserve our artistic masterpiece!"
"Sure..." Cherry replied.
"Hey, you stuck a spear in the wall!" Jack cried out.
"Sorry about that, Jack," Undyne grinned innocently. "As it happens, your smoke detector is pretty breakble after all!"
"Yep, I generally advise against throwing spears at necessary household items." Jack replied.
"Well, that's just lame," Undyne said. "Can't make an omelette without setting fire to your oven!"
"You're in trouble too, Undyne." Katie scolded.
"Why didn't you stop them?" Cherry asked.
"They told me they were just gonna sit around and wait for me," Katie replied. "I went out to buy you something for old time's sake."
"Oh, Kat, you didn't have to do that... What is it?" Cherry replied.
Katie smiled and reached into the bag and brought out a Wonka bar.
"A Wonka bar!" Cherry gasped.
"Oh, yes," Katie smiled. "It's very Scrumpdillyicious, I thought you would like it to help cheer you up since I told you I wouldn't be there exactly on your journey."
"Aw, thanks, Katie..." Cherry said as she accepted the chocolate bar. "Man, when aren't you nice to me in these stories?"
"Uh... Didn't we have a fight once?" Katie asked.
"Uh, maybe it wasn't canon..." Cherry replied sheepishly.
"Come on, Cherry, let's keep going, you can see another Katie later... If we run into any..." Jack said.
They soon left and came into the editing room where Alphys was working.
"So... Did you get the power regulators?" Alphys asked.
"Yeah!" Billy beamed. "I found 'em and gave 'em to him!"
"Oh, hi, Billy!" Alphys replied. "I d-didn't even see you there."
"Hey, Alphys, what's up?" Billy smiled.
Cherry looked curious about the relationship between these two.
"Look, I don't want to interrupt this lovely catch-up session, but, uh... Can we go home now?" Jack asked.
"Give me a second to install this, and you'll both be on your way!" Alphys smiled before getting to work and it looked so far so good. "Okay, I got it up and running, now to just..."
There was soon an error sound heard.
"What the...?" Alphys's eyes widened before looking angry. "There's a firewall here."
"A firewall?" Cherry and Jack asked.
"Yeah, and I can't get past it," Alphys pouted. "How do you disable it?"
"Why are you asking me?" Jack smiled. "Aren't you the genius here?"
"Genius? R-Really?" Alphys blushed before focusing again. "Uh... A-Anyway, who else would have put it up?"
"I don't know, that's weird." Jack shrugged.
"It clearly says right here 'Installed by THE BOSS'." Alphys read aloud.
"Who's THE BOSS?" Jack asked.
"Tony Danza?" Cherry added.
"Feckin' 80's references for days." Jack nudged her.
"I can't help it; I'm an old soul." Cherry replied.
"Jack, I thought you called yourself THE BOSS?" Alphys replied.
"Well, yeah, but... Someone else installed that..." Jack said.
"So... Someone doesn't want you or Cherry to leave here?" Billy deduced.
"Looks like it." Jack sneered.
"Alphys, do you think you can take the firewall down?" Cherry asked.
"I think so, b-but I'm going to need a couple of hydrospersion keys," Alphys replied. "I can find their locations here, but they're encrypted. I could try to decrypt it, but that could take hours."
"So, what do we do?" Jack asked.
"Well, I can set your front door up to take you near one of the keys," Alphys replied. "You'd have to wander around a bit, but that would take way less time than trying to decrypt the locations."
"Another fetch quest?" Jack groaned.
"Sorry, but I really need those keys if you want to get home." Alphys replied.
"Typical..." Cherry sighed.
"I guess I don't mind going back out into the computer," Jack replied to Alphys. "Wasn't so bad before."
"Well, h-here's the thing..." Alphys said. "It's not in the computer. Not strictly. It's embedded to o-one of your games, but I can't tell which one."
"So, we have to traipse through one of the games Jack has played?" Billy asked.
"I really hope it's something innocuous like Turmoil." Jack hoped.
"Maybe it's Kitty Powers?" Cherry asked.
"Ugh, don't remind me of her!" Jack shuddered.
"iHasCupquake has more videos on that game... I think it's funny." Cherry smirked innocently.
"Well, you can play it, not me." Jack rolled his eyes.
"I mean, it could be those," Billy spoke up. "Or it could be The Last of Us. Or The Final Station. Or-"
"Yeah, I get it," Jack stopped him in annoyance. "I've played a lot of horror games."
"That's another thing: there might be some overlap," Alphys replied. "Games blending into other ones, kind of like your fan fics, Cherry. I guess what I'm trying to say is to prepare for anything."
"All right!" Billy cheered. "We're going to go on an adventure, Jackaboy, and PerkyGoth14!"
"No one calls me that in-series." Cherry deadpanned.
"Anyway, remember: I need a hydrospersion key." Alphys reminded.
"Sure thing, Alphys." Jack nodded.
And with that, they all left the room to continue their adventure together. Cherry snickered as Katie had Papyrus and Undyne sitting in a time-out corner while she cleaned up the mess.
