*Cry's POV*

"Herbal? Herbal's good. Although I prefer the teas with fruits, you know what I mean?"

"Ah, I do, friend. The kind with the strawberries is really sweet, and..."

Piggeh and I were sitting on the couch, talking about various kinds of teas, coffees, and berries, when the door opened. Pewdie and {Name} were standing there with a very glum Stephano and Mr. Chair between them. The minute the door was opened, the two of them raced to their own little corner, and curled up.

"What happened?," Piggeh asked. "Can the four of us have a talk?," Pewdie sighed. "Of course, Pewds," I answered.

Pewds and {Name} sat in between Piggeh and I. Pewdie sighed once again. "Well, we found Gonzales and Mayo," he said, "but they're not here because they don't want any part of us." Piggeh gasped softly. "Does that mean what I think it means?," he asked weakly. Pewdie nodded sadly.

"They've gone and betrayed us. They're with Barrel now," he said. My breath was taken straight from my lungs. But I had just met them, and from what I experienced, they seemed like absolutely loyal bros. "I...I can't believe it," I whispered. "I can barely believe this! Damnitdamnitdamnit!" I forced a laugh out of my throat as I said it.

The indoor air was getting to me; I needed the fresh, outdoor air. So I left the room, and went outside to go sit on the roof.
