"You what?!" Swizzle gasped after Richard told him about what had happened earlier. Richard just felt the need to share it with him.

Richard assumed Swizzle's outburst was from him not listening, but in truth, Swizzle was shocked at how and why he respawned. "This doesn't make any sense, Rich," he said, shaking his head before quickly turning to him. "You're a real person... You're from the other side..."

Richard rubbed the back of his head. "You're...not mad at me?

Swizzle sighed, "I mean, I am a little," he admitted. "What if you'd gotten hurt? What if you didn't respawn?"

Richard nodded. "Y-Yeah... I just... I wanted to explore, you know?"

Swizzle softened and smiled. "Aww, I know," he said, pulling Richard into a close hug. "Can't really blame you, I suppose. I mean, any human who got transported here would probably want to explore every nook and cranny of every game."

Richard blushed slightly as Swizzle hugged him, but then relaxed and snuggled in. "Well, if Sonic was terrifying, I am never going into Hero's Duty, good lord..."

Swizzle looked at Richard, an idea forming. "I want to try something..."

"Huh? What?" Richard asked, curious.

Swizzle broke from the hug, stood up, and offered his hand. "Follow me."

"O-Oh... Alright..." Richard stammered.

Swizzle took Richard down to the base of the stands, at the track. He noticed Swizzle's lollipop car parked nearby. "So, uh... What are we doing?"

"An experiment," Swizzle said. "But—" he looked at Richard, "I want to get your consent from you-,"

Richard blinked. "My... my consent? What do you mean?"

Swizzle slid his hands into his coat pockets. "I want to see if you really can respawn," he said, gesturing to his kart. "So, I'm going to take my kart...and run you over."

Richard's jaw dropped. "W-What?!"

Swizzle quickly turned back to Richard. "Th-That is why I said I want your okay first! I'd never do this without getting an okay from you first," Swizzle assured.

Richard glanced over at the kart, then at Swizzle.

He took a deep breath. "Okay...," He said.

Swizzle nodded once. "Okay, just...stand right there."

He ran over to his kart, then hopped in, and landed in the seat softly. He turned on the engine, and backed up.

Richard had his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the kart slowly back away.

"Just stand right there, alright!" Swizzle called out.

Richard didn't say anything, he just silently gulped. He could hear the kart's engine revving. Then, he heard a tire screech, and then saw the candy vehicle coming straight towards him, full speed. Richard shut his eyes, bracing for the impact.

The kart slammed into him, sending him flying into the stands and crashing lifelessly to the ground.

Swizzle quickly hit the brakes, then peered over at Richard. "Please work, please work, please work, please work..." He said over and over.

Moments later, Richard's body began to flash in 8-bit fashion.

Swizzle gasped. "No...no way!"

Then an 8 Bit ding sound echoed from Richard, as he appeared once again, but... there was a slight problem, as he had appeared right inside the Kart at the front, and caused he and the Kart's collision to mess up completely, and the Kart, him, and Swizzle got tossed around and they all slammed into the wall.

"OUCH!" Richard yelled out, as both of the boys had game overed.

Both of them respawned near each other.

"What the heck just happened?!" Richard exclaimed.

Swizzle burst out laughing. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry you had to go through that!" he chuckled. "Collision glitch! Happens now and then."

"I thought only Gmod did that..." Richard muttered.

"G-What?" Swizzle giggled, putting his hands on his hips. "Wow, so it's true—you can respawn. You did it three times! Wild!"

Richard rubbed his temples. "I guess Rancis was right. Coming here, I must've converted into code." He paused, frowning. "But...what does this mean for me? If I go back, will I convert back? Or stay code in the real world? If I die there, do I just...come back?"

Swizzle looked at him uncertainly. "Oh geez... I-I don't know."

Richard sighed. "This is so confusing..."

Swizzle came up to Richard, and held his hand. "Come on, let's head to another game,"

Richard nodded. "Okay, but none where I can die. Although I can come back, I don't want to experience that again..."

Swizzle chuckled. "No problem," he said, putting an arm around him. "I think I know a game we'd both enjoy."

Richard blinked once as he looked up at the screen that read the title of the game he and Swizzle were about to enter. "D-Dance Dance?"

"Yeah!" Swizzle grinned. "We racers go there sometimes on break. I'm, like, a pro," he added, proudly.

Richard was never great at the game, he could never play it right. Anytime he would try to play the game in the arcade, he ended up just tripping over himself. But, he didn't want to let Swizzle know that. "Alright, let's try," He said, "At least, I don't see how it would be dangerous,"

Swizzle smiled. "Exactly! It's probably the safest game here." Taking Richard's hand, he led him to the entrance.

Inside, Richard took in the sight of a large blue grid with a lone dance pad in the center. "Wow... I mean, it... kinda looks like what I've seen on the screen, right?" he whispered.

Swizzle hopped out of the kart, landing softly.

"You guys move... so cartoon-like," Richard chuckled.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Swizzle asked, turning back to him.

"The way you guys jump out of things, like the train or your karts. You kinda hop out, float for a second, then land. It's...cute," Richard said with a smile.

Swizzle giggled. "Cute, huh?" He teased.

Richard blushed. "Uh... Y-Yeah,"

Swizzle nudged him playfully. "Come on, bet you can't beat my high score on this."

Richard glanced at the pad. "I'll go ahead and say it now: I definitely can't. I'm awful at this."

"I bet you're not that bad," Swizzle laughed.

Richard walked up towards the game dance pad, but then, "Hello!" Said a random voice.

"AHHH!?" Richard yelled out, as he grabbed onto Swizzle, holding him close.

"Oof!" Swizzle grunted, then giggled. "Rich!" He said, laughing at him.

After turning his head, Richard saw who had spoke. He gasped, instantly letting go of Swizzle. "H-Holy...Crap... I... I'm literally in front of a anime girl..." He stammered.

Swizzle snorted.

The new character, did a one of those exaggerated anime poses, "Hi! I'm Yuni Verse!" She smiled. "I never seen you here before, you're a new game character? Well, welcome to Dance Dance Revolution!"

Swizzle crossed his arms. "Yeah, he's new. And he wants to beat my high score."

Richard gasped, "I never said that! I told you I'm bad at this game!"

Yuni chuckled. "How can you be bad if you've never tried?" she encouraged. "Give it a go!"

"Uhh... Swizzle, you go first... let me see how it's done," Richard stammered.

Swizzle sighed with a playful eye-roll. "Fine. Watch the pro~," he said, hopping onto the pad. As Yuni started the music, Richard couldn't believe Swizzle's skill, his feet moving with precision.

"W-What..." he mumbled. "Holy crap..." He blushed watching Swizzle dance.

"He's very good huh?" Yuni said, with a smile as she folded her arms.

"Y-Yeah..." Richard replied, still stunned.

Then, the song ended, with Swizzle out of breath.

New High Score - For Swizzle Malarkey! 2,800,924 Points!

"Whoo! I bet my own score!" Swizzle cheered, jumping up and down giggling. "Richard-!" He turned around, "Did you see?" Then, he noticed Richard's red face. He snorted. "What is it?" He smiled, although, he knew the reason.

Richard quickly looked away. "I... you...uh, you looked good. I-I MEAN YOU DID GOOD...!"

Swizzle chuckled, nudging his shoulder. "Yeah, sure. You definitely meant the second one," he teased. "Now it's your turn!" He nudged Richard forward. "C'mon, make your own high score and beat it later if you want."

"Uh... I..." By the time Richard could finish protesting, he found himself on the dance pad. He glanced down at the four arrows, that were flashing. He turned around, and saw Swizzle gave him a cute smile. "Go on~," He giggled.

Richard turned back to the screen above him. "Okay..." The song started, and he tried to dance on the pad, but then his left leg slammed into the other one, and he tripped and fell onto the pad. "OOF-," He grunted, setting all of the arrows off at once.

Swizzle burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

New High Score - For Ki*Static* 1 Points!

That made Swizzle laughed even harder. "Oh my gosh! One point?! HAHAHAHA!" He laughed, nearly dropping onto the floor.

Yuni shook her head, visibly disappointed.

"I guess you weren't lying when you said you were horrible at Dance Dance," Swizzle chuckled.

Richard slowly got off of the pad, "Can't get hurt in this game, huh?" He said, giving a little chuckle.

Swizzle rolled his eyes, and went to help Richard up. "Oh shush you big dumb dork~," He laughed.
