Gretchen leaned against a windowsill in the cafe during a dreary morning, watching as rain pattered against the glass right in front of her face. It had been a few days since some of the others headed out to the Unova region, and the Pokemon that were brought back were already fitting in nicely. Everyone was happy to have them around, and the mystery of the eggs was exciting to everyone.

And the Pocket Monsters themselves were loving their new home, especially since they had three veterans to help them adjust to all this newfound luxury. Bugsy especially seemingly was getting a lot more comfortable with her new life, and based on how protective the other small gremlins were of the poison bug, there was definitely something else going on.

Gretchen sighed as she leaned back a bit, looking at the cafe's counter to maybe see if her food was almost done. It was a slow day, the weather making everyone naturally more drowsy and lazy. Even with the newest additions, the day was very quiet.

The camper was snapped out of her thoughts when Zomboss sat beside her, stirring some cream and sugar into his coffee. "Definitely a miserable day, hm?" He asked.

Gretchen nodded. "And what really sucks is that me and some of the others were planning on heading out…"

"What were you planning on doing?"

"We were going to hit up the arcade", she explained. "Then maybe try and check out that new pawn shop that opened up recently."

"I heard the person that opened it is a friend of Ralph's", the zombie overlord mentioned offhandedly as he finished stirring. "I myself was planning to investigate, but it faded from my memory somewhat a day or two later."

The camper nodded. "Yeah… But now all our plans are down the drain because Core's sick, and if we head out in this weather it'll just get worse. So… Now we're stumped on what to do…"

"I'm sure you riff-raff will figure something out. Not a day passes here that doesn't lead to all of us being sucked into chaos and carnage."

The camper simply shrugged, glancing out the window again as the rain picked up the slightest bit, becoming more typical. She sniffed a bit as her nose got a bit stuffy all the sudden, taking a napkin form a nearby holder and blowing her nose.

After she was done, one of the cooks came by with her breakfast, and she slowly ate away at it as she listened to the methodical rhythm of the rain against the window. It was constant and relaxing, somewhat explaining why everyone was so lazy today.

Gretchen blinked as McGee walked in and sat across from her, smiling just a bit. "Hey there, Gretch. Have a good sleep?"

The girl shrugged in response. "It was okay. I left my window open, so a bunch of rain got in and started hitting against my lamp. I woke up at… 4 in the morning, and couldn't get to sleep after."

"That's rough", Zomboss said as he looked over the mine in his hands.

Gretchen rolled her eyes as the zombie talked to one of the chefs about one of the menu options. Seemingly unsure about what it was. She just brushed him off and returned to her own meal, letting her mind wander.

Elsewhere in the cafe, Izzy was sitting on the floor with all the still new Pokemon, smiling brightly as Merida, Majima and The Doctor sat at the nearest table. The trio were chatting amongst each other, before their conversation came to a screeching halt when Izzy shoved Dieno in their faces.

"Aren't you guys gonna pet the Pokemon?" The wild child asked with a subdued grin. "C'mon, they're all begging for endless attention!"

"I don't know IiiiZZZZZZ-" Merida squealed as Bugsy crawled up her back and started nibbling at her hair, making the princess stand up abruptly and look horribly uncomfortable.

Majima burst into laughter. "Okay, I'll admit, that's hilarious. I was weary of these little brats at first, but that is amazing!"

The princess blushed at the yakuza in embarrassment and anger. "Goro, I swear to Loki I will strangle you when this thing is off."

"Oh relax, Merida", The Doctor said, smiling as he pet Sol gently. "You should always be on guard, especially if they think your hair is this delicious."

The princess growled and reached behind, grabbing the Venipede and bringing her before her at arm's length. Bugsy looked back at Merida with a slightly shocked look, before growling and glaring at her.

"Don't you bloody growl at me", the princess growled back. She put the bug down on the floor (moreso dropped), and glared at her as she scurried off, the bug's tail spikes in a defensive angle.

"Oh… Merry…" Izzy said in a disappointed tone, looking at her partner as she hugged Hydra close. "I get you don't like them all that much, but I just know that if you give them a chance, you'll fall in love."

The princess sighed and dusted her outfit down. "I know, I'd just rather not have those things crawling all over me like I'm a bloody playground! I deal with that enough back at Dun Broch with my brothers…" She trailed off when she felt something on her leg. Looking down, she saw Puddin' looking up at her with an innocent look.

The princess smiled, leaned down and rubbed the Litwik's cheek, making the ghost's flame burn a bit brighter in happiness. Merida glanced up subtly and saw Bugsy eyeing her waringly, so the princess sat down and gestured for the bug to get closer.

Instead, all the Pokemon rushed at her and piled on her torso, showing her all the love in the world. Merida cried out in shock as she fell over, only to then start letting out muffled laughs as the pocket monsters besieged her with affection. Izzy smiled sweetly at the sight, while The Doctor and Majima started laughing their heads off at the scene before them.

Elsewhere in the room, Maria and Jenny looked over at the buried princess, and they both quietly giggled.

"They're fitting in nicely, huh?" The wooden woman said to the teenage robot.

"I'm kinda surprised, honestly", Jenny replied. "Like… They're basically wild animals with the intelligence of your average person. And yet they're perfectly fine in a castle with a bunch of modern amenities."

"Maybe it's something in those… Pokeballs that Laney told us about. Or they just are that relaxed." Maria took a sip of her decaf coffee, while Jenny took a sip from the oil can before her. "Maybe we should head out shopping today and get them stuff for their spot."

"Ehhhhhhh…" The teenage robot glanced out the nearest window to see how the rain had picked up. "I'm honestly good. With this weather, I'd have a better chance of surviving against all my villains ganging up on me."

looked out the window, and pursed her lips. "Good point…" She hummed and looked around the cafe, seeing everyone milling about as one clear thing was written on their faces. Boredom. "Do you think we should do something to just pass the time?"

"Like what? Watch another movie? At this point I wouldn't be surprised we've seen everything this place has to offer." Jenny rolled her eyes as she said that, but snapped her head over as Caleb silently ran in and over to the corkboard. The two women eyed him carefully as he stuck a flyer beside the one for the Summer Nights festival.

The others there all started to look over as he stuck the paper up and ran out, leaving curiosity and confusion behind. Everyone there shared looks with each other and distant neighbours, and walked over to check out the message.

The Doctor, with his usual flair, took out a pair of stereoscopic glasses and put them on. The others rolled his eyes, seeing as more of his incarnations were merging into this one self.

The Time Lord squinted as he read over what it said. "To all members of Caleb's personal knight detail… you are invited to take part in a special event happening in the Council Room. Trivia Night! There will be prizes to win and fun to be had in this new event I, Gladius, decided to set up. And on a rainy day like this, it is perfect. P.S. I planned this a few days in advance, so when this gets posted, if it happens to be raining, that's just a coincidence."

The Doctor took off the 3D glasses and put them back in his coat. "A trivia night, hm? Well, that sounds fun. I have been in the urge to learn more about something new…"

"Screw the trivia, there's prizes here!" Majima said in excitement, before shooting the others a competitive glare. "You all better watch out. Because I;m winning this!"

"In your dreams, Majima", Jenny spat. "You're up against two super geniuses and a robot with the mind of a supercomputer", she gestured to herself. "So you better stay humble."

"Says you, ", Gretchen said flatly. "Plus, you still messed up a lot back in your world. So don't play this 'I'm smarter than you' card."

The teenage robot looked offended for a moment, before glaring at the camper. This started a domino effect where everyone started glaring at each other as competition sparked in their eyes. The only one unaffected by this was Izzy, who seemed a bit conflicted.

Merida gave her a concerned look, and the Psycho Hose Beast waved her off while mouthing out a "Later". The princess nodded, and the two of them left the room. The others followed close behind, seemingly ready to take each other on in this crazy game of IQ and knowledge. The rest of the group all left their rooms or the Rec Room, having seemingly got the same news.

Based on how they all shared a burning fire to win behind all their eyes.

Lefty stood off to the side and watched the whole group walk past, giving a flat look to a nonexistent camera and walking in the opposite direction. The black bear didn't have the energy to deal with the group when they got over-competitive.

They saw how Mario Kart made the group. And Mario Party. This was going to get ugly fast, so Lefty would catch the bullet notes after the disaster came and went.

Meanwhile, in the Council Room, Caleb, Gladius and Katania were putting the last finishing touches to their decoration process. The whole room was topped up with soft blue neon lights, matching carpets, and all the counters were covered in black. At each seat was a small buzzer button, which Kat was just finishing up with all the connections to a big TV.

Caleb rubbed his hands together in a building giddiness, looking so excited. "Oooooooo, I'm pumped for this! Gladdy, this was such a good idea!"

"Ah, I just felt it was a fun event we could hold", the sword said nonchalantly. "It's been on my mind for a while, and considering today's weather, it was perfect timing."

"I still think you can predict the future", Katania called out bluntly. "Unless Auntie Rainbow is really that predictable with the weather."

Gladius sputtered in shock. "Rainbow only influences the weather sometimes! And that's only in extremely emotionally distressing periods."

"A bit on the nose there, Gladdy", Caleb said with an unimpressed glare. The sword would blush if he could, so he just resorted to grumbling nonsense and flying off to finish the rest of the set up. The boy rolled his eyes, heading off to the door out of the room to decorate the other side of the wooden barrier. The trio wanted to go all out with this little bonding experience, which meant full decorating.

Clean up was going to be a nightmare, but it would be worth it in the end.

As the bespectacled boy added the finishing touches to the door, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. A lot of them. Looking to the left, he saw as all the rest of his ragtag group approaching, still glancing or glaring at each other with a competitive fire. The boy smiled happily and rushed inside the room, telling Kat and Gladdy to get into position.

They all hid behind a curtain that was surrounding the table the four gods usually sat at, falling silent as the others all walked in. For a moment, they all lost that spark, shocked at how decorated was, and slowly started to take their spots in the council seats. When they were all situated, the lights dimmed and two spotlights started to circle the curtain surrounded table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming down to our show!" The booming voice of Gladius echoed out. "Because today, to combat the boredom and rain, we've set up a special game show set up with wonderful prizes up for grabs!"

The group all shared looks as Katania's voice suddenly sounded off. "We just ask you to play fair and with respect. Seriously, it took a lot of convincing Rainbow to let us use this room, and I spent the last TWO HOURS rigging all the lights. So please don't wreck anything."

The group all nodded, and there was a chuckle. "Then let's get this started!" Caleb shouted, bursting out of the curtain and posing with Katania and Gladius. All three of them were dressed in formal attire, with Caleb wearing a black tuxedo set, Katania in a green-sparkle skirt and blouse combo with dark green heels, and Gladius was in a fancy dress shirt, the collar dipping down so his jewel could shine through.

Ralph snorted. "Going all out for this, huh guys?"

"Yep!" Caleb answered back earnestly, shuffling the cue cards he had on hand. "Because trust me, considering the prizes you can earn, it's worth all the light and show."

"What is the grand prize…?" Steve asked carefully.

"Excellent question! Kat, show the gang what they can win!"

Katania nodded eagerly and ran over to a large thing covered by a tarp. "Well, the grand prize is something special…" The general's daughter said in building excitement. She pulled the tarp off, and the group all at the buzzers gasped.

Under the tarp was what looked to be a very, VERY high tech looking car. It was sleek, yet vintage. Like a modernised version of a convertible from the 70's.

"This bad boy was commissioned by us for this exact instance!" The girl continued. "So whoever wins first wins this bad boy for your total and free use. Second and third places' prizes are just as awesome, and everyone else will still get a bunch of cool stuff after all of this is said and done."

"So don't get discouraged!" Gladius said proudly, flying above and looking over the whole group. "Even if you're behind in points, there will be ways for you to catch up, like point multipliers and bonus questions worth more points. But it's all random, so don't expect freebies."

The group all remained silent as they mulled over the information, thinking over the possibilities. As things fell into an oddly tense silence, the three hosts of the whole event watched them carefully, exchanging nervous glances as if worried their friends would back out and thus put all their effort to waste.

But that was all thrown out the window when everyone started sounding off with their own cheers and shouts to get things started, everyone jeering playfully at each other. Or at least the hosts hoped it was playful.

Gladius cleared his non-existent throat, and flew up. "Then let the show begin!"

~X~

The game started off without a hitch, with points being given out to anyone who could answer. It was absolute chaos, as the group all tried to rack up all the points they could. Shouts of anger when those answering got it wrong, cheers when they won a point, a few insult matches when it came to intelligence.

It was getting brutal.

Obviously, Zomboss and The Doctor were in the lead, although as time went on and the questions got harder, they started to get more flustered at the failed answers. They seemed embarrassed and more frantic, which was understandable.

The only one staying completely composed at this point was Galacta, who seemed more interested in just participating.

Caleb quickly ducked when Steve lobbed a stack of oak logs at him, then glared at the crafter when he recovered. "Steve! One of the biggest rules in place is to not attack the host!"

"I feel like it's deserved because of that last question!" The builder spat back. "How were we supposed to know Finland held phone throwing competitions?!"

"I did", Noah said flatly with a shrug. "Turns out being a reality star has its perks. And it's MOBILE phone." He leaned back in his chair, before the bookworm and Steve glared at each other.

"Aw, c'mon guys, we should try and get along during this!" Owen said. "I mean, we were already on a game show, so we know we have to use sportsmanship!" His smile fell when everyone looked at him with a flat look.

"Yeah, the game show where you never had a chance to win", Majima said bluntly with his arms crossed. "Where you had to eat random crap and had monkey shit thrown at you."

Gwen and Courtney shivered as the bad memories crossed their minds. "Man, the less said about Skatoony, the better", the goth said. "Having to wear that dump uniform and where I landed after just…" She shivered again.

Maria cleared her throat, and looked to the trio of hosts. "Caleb, maybe we could speed this up a bit? We've been at this for a while, and I'm getting pretty tired…"

"What, can't handle a bit of trivia, Oak Wood?" Molten said with his twisted laugh. Maria whirled around and glared at him with a look that screamed 'I WILL MURDER YOU', but the wire amalgam was unfazed, just continuing to laugh.

Caleb sighed, rolled his eyes, and pulled out an air horn. As everyone started to devolve into petty arguments for the fifth time, he set the horn off that forced everyone to cover their ears. When he stopped, they all looked at him.

"Guys! I get this is a competition, but can we seriously cool it with all the arguing?! I love you all, but even I have my freaking limits, so the sooner we get this done the sooner we can wrap this up and send you all on your way. Kat, who's the closest to winning?"

Katania, still a bit disoriented from the earlier horn, looked at the jumbo screen, which proudly displayed everyone's scores. "Zomboss is currently in the lead with two points, just ahead of The Doctor and Noah not that far behind. Everyone else is behind with their own totals…" She collapsed on her chair, messaging her temples.

Caleb winced and looked back to the others. "Okay, I think we definitely need to get this done. So no arguing or anything, got it?" He got nods in return. "Good. Now, next question…" He looked down at the tablet in his hands, and he pulled a random question from his notes. "Next question: What Broadway musical required you to have a physical therapist?"

He looked up at the others, and they all silently thought over the question. There was no time limit, it was just till someone got the question right. After a moment, Hilda slammed her buzzer down.

"Hilda?" Gladius called out.

"It was Cats!" The young adventurer said with a smile. "I watched the DVD we had not long ago, and I watched the behind the scenes stuff after."

"Very good! Alright, next question…" As Caleb looked for his next question, the screen updated to show Hilda gaining plus one point. Considering the grand prize was a special car, most of the group were wondering if winning it was so it could be a gift for Johanna.

Soon, the main host found what he was looking for, but Gladius took over speaking it out. "Where is the word Peach derived from?"

Almost instantly, The Doctor pressed his buzzer. "From an Ancient Greek name they typically used for Persians. Simply because Perians called it 'persikon malon' when they first taught it to the massive Mediterranean Empire."

Star pouted and looked off. "This isn't fun when you have geniuses as friends…"

"It's just how we are, Star", the Time Lord said gently. He was honestly pretty humble with all of this. "But now you know a lot of fascinating facts to help you in life!"

"Not sure where knowing where the word peach comes from will be like lifelong advice…" Rory mumbled, with McGee and Corey beside him nodding with clueless looks.

"Okay then…" Caleb gave Gladius an exaggerated frown, and looked for the next question. "What was prohibited for sale in the Disney Parks because Walt himself hated it?"

There was silence as everyone thought over what the answer could be. Questions like this were always the trio hosts' favourites simply because it was one of the few moments of silence between the chaos. Kat herself looked particularly relieved as the sound came to a halt, clearly showing all these personalities clashing like this was… a bit too much.

After a few more moments of silence, the bespectacled boy found the next question. "What does the W in George W. Bush's full name stand for?"

Surprisingly, it was Ralph who pushed his buzzer first. "It stands for Walker!" There was a lull as he was rewarded a point, and everyone looked at him in confusion.

"How the heck do you know that, Ralph?"Jenny asked. "Even I didn't know that, and I live in an American city."

"During break days at the arcade I head to Wikipedia to just… learn", the wrecker said nonchalantly. "It's a fun way to pass the time."

"That's… probably the most surprising thing I heard today…" Laney said in shock. "Mo jab at you, Ralph, but I'd more expect you to look for Monster Trucks and sports and stuff…"

"Eh, I do sometimes. But blame Calhoun for wanting me to just have more fun facts. She egged me on, I cracked, and now I'm hooked."

Caleb looked over at the massive screen, seeing Ralph's placement on the leaderboard. "Explains why your sixth…" He mumbled. Gladius took the tablet, scanning through the notes to keep things moving.

"Moving on!" The sword called out. "Where did the term Bluetooth come from? This is a tricky one, so take your-"

"It was named after 10th century Danish king Harald Bluetooth", Zomboss said bluntly after pressing his buzzer. "Seriously, some of these questions are much too easy."

"Keep up the gloating, George", Amy growled. "See how well that helps you after."

"We will…" The scientist growled back, levelling the Girl Who Waited with a glare before facing the hosts again.

Caleb gulped as he shared a look with Gladius, and the sword nodded. "Alright, we're going to do another lightning round. So be ready, and answer fast. We begin…" He glanced at Katania, who nodded once and started a timer. "Now!"

The chaos slowly started to flood back as the group all fought tooth and nail to try and get as many points as possible. Which led to a lot of shouting, name-calling and things being thrown.

"What is the proper name for an allergy to water?"

"Aquagenic Urticaria!"

"What coloured hair holds the most pigment in it?"

"Red!"

"Which Japanese politician thought staging a knife attack would help him gain sympathy?"

"Nitaro Ito!"

"What is a perfect number?"

"A number whose factors all add up to itself!"

"Who was the first president to be issued a legal penalty?"

"Franklin Pierce!"

It was a lot, but everyone was slowly getting into the groove of things, which led to the competitive edge slowly dissipating. All the insults and jeers were soon replaced with laughter, jokes and smiles. No more glares, no more frustration. At least, just for now. But luckily Zomboss was just one question away from taking the whole thing, so the hosts silently agreed to get this wrapped up.

As everyone looked at Zomboss silently, the zombie overlord eyed Caleb with the silent statement to ask him the next question. The boy nodded, and looked down at the questions. But paled at the one that was dead centre on the tablet screen.

Swallowing thickly, he asked the question. "W-When is… Is Father's Day in C-Canada?" The boy asked, trying and failing to keep his composure. The others all winced at the question, then looked at Caleb in worry. No one seemed to have the heart or will to answer the question, which did somewhat get to Caleb.

Gladius looked down at the question, saw who submitted it, and sped out of the room to give the submitter a piece of his mind. After a few moments of silence, Zomboss pressed the buzzer.

"June 16th", he said carefully.

"Okay! That means Zomboss wins, great!" Caleb said in a much to cheery tone. "He gets the special car, Kat, you handle the rest of the prize stuff, I need some fresh air!" Before Katania could even get a word in, Caleb was gone.

She frowned in worry as the others all started leaving the seats and stood beside her. "Is he going to be okay?" Buttercup asked.

"Hopefully", Courtney said quietly.

"Who was the ass that submitted that question?" Majima growled. He stalked over to the tablet, and looked at the final question. The others all peered over his shoulders, and as soon as they locked onto the name, anger washed over them all.

"That guy submitted the question?!" Blossom roared. "I thought they got rid of him!"

"Maybe we should pay him a little visit…" Scrap Baby said with a dangerous edge, Nightmare Bonnie putting a hand on her shoulder to hopefully reign her in. Based on her flexing claw, it wasn't working.

"Okay, guys, Gladdy already went to deal with it", Katania said firmly. "Let's just focus on getting this all wrapped up, okay?"

The others all begrudgingly accepted and let the ending ceremony roll out. But as the prizes were divided up, Maria and Manolo quickly left as soon as they got theirs and headed off looking for Caleb. They headed back to their hallway and headed past all the sealed bedroom doors towards the balcony, and immediately they saw the boy leaning against the railing, looking up towards the sky.

The couple both walked up and stood beside him, and no words were exchanged for a while. Just the three of them soaking in each other's company, watching the blankets of clouds passing by. It was only a light drizzle, but darker clouds on the horizon clearly said more rain was coming soon.

Caleb let out a sigh and looked down, a bitter expression crossing his face. "I had a feeling something like this would've happened…"

"How would he have slipped a question like that in?" Maria asked.

"I don't know. Gladius just set up a trivia box in the museum so anyone could submit stuff, and with all the questions we got there wasn't really any time to shuffle through them all."

"So that one slipped in…" Manolo said. "Why didn't you skip it?"

"I just… I wanted to… But I also felt so stuck… Seeing it just froze my brain."

"I'm guessing Father's Day was a rough time for you?" Maria asked quietly, leaning down to look him in the eye.

"Considering my old life, yes…"

Nothing else was said as the trio fell into a comfortable silence, watching the clouds above, listening to the chilling winds and the distant sounds of the city. It was somewhat cathartic, and did help lift the earlier dower mood. As the next wave of rain came closer, Manolo and Maria led Caleb over to one of the tables, and they all remained under the large and secure umbrella as the water began to start its rhythmic pitter-patter on the cover above them.

"I hate the rain…" Maria said. "It's the one thing I love about San Angel. The rain is so rare that my Papa still does a double take when it does hit."

"You two are used to the heat", Caleb said with a weak smile. "I'm still a winter kid."

"You're our winter kid, mijo", Manolo said with a smile, ruffling the boy's hair. Caleb chuckled, and smiled at the musician gratefully. Only to grunt when Maria pulled him into a sudden hug, which made the trio start a good laugh.

From the door that headed back inside, Gladius peered through. He looked a bit flustered, but relaxed when he saw his best friend laughing and happy once again. It was hard, but he'd do anything for Caleb…

Gladius held the once troublesome guard over the roof of the building he called home, the man panicking and pleading for his life.

"I have no reason to keep you alive, you complete waste", the sword snarled. "Even though you lost your job and friends, you still need to put my friend down. You still need to be entitled, and act like you're above others. How can you live with that?"

The guard could only mumble out a weak apology that could barely be understood. Which only made Gladius more angry. He threw the blubbering ex-guard behind him harshly, and flew over the crumbled man.

"Never come anywhere near the castle again. If you value your miserable life, you will heed this warning. DO YOU UNDERSTAND."

The guard nodded in terror and remained there as the sword flew away back towards the castle, uncaring to the light rain that was landing on him.

…Yes, he'd do anything for Caleb. Just so he's safe and happy.

~X~

Later that day, the castle was in peace. Zomboss was working away in his room as everyone else did their own things, with all of them envious but not all that upset the zombie overlord won the special car. But he seemed thoughtful when he received it, and almost he was plotting something.

It was known he has been working on a massive project on and off for the past year, but what it was no one knew.

But as Caleb walked past the door to get a drink from the cafe, the zombie poked his head out and smiled.

"Ah, Caleb", Zomboss said with a smile. "I was hoping you'd be out here."

The boy looked towards his friend with a questioning look. "What's going on, Zomboss?"

"Come in here, I need to show you something special…"

The boy only looked even more confused, but still nodded nonetheless and headed into the scientist's room to see what this mysterious project was. But he was stopped when Ruby popped in out of nowhere while Doom Kitty was right behind her.

Zomboss frowned. "What's going on, Gloom?"

"I'm just a bit curious about what you were talking about", Ruby said innocently. "And maybe if I could help you out in some way."

The scientist pursed his rotten lips, glanced around the hall, then nodded. "But make sure your cat stays away from my delicate machinery. I mean it."

Doom let out an offended violin noise, and Caleb laughed as they headed into the room, the door closing and locking behind them. Zomboss ran deeper inside, and when the rag doll girl and bespectacled boy shared a look, they slowly followed. Doom was right behind them, cautious but still curious.

~X~

And that's Chapter 4 done! Sorry it took a while, but my creative juices were dragged elsewhere, like with art, and my own IRL stuff kinda derailed things a few times. Like my birthday on the 8th.

So yeah, this was just a dumb fun chapter that just was there for interactions and such, but the ending stinger is gonna set up the next chapter. Keep an eye out on that~

You might have also noticed I put out a few one-shots. They're part of a new series I dub The Mess Left Behind, which focuses on the aftermath of certain big events. There's only three so far, but I do want to try and make some more. Just want to get more out there before doing so…

More will be coming…

Also, special thanks to my friends Dobt, Ben, Auster, Camilla and PJ for helping me telling the fun trivia I used for the chapter! You guys rock, I love y'all sm!

Up next: Zomboss' mysterious project is revealed, and what is revealed has the group reeling at their newest additions…

~Caleb~
