Death warning!

Two left shortly after. He made MePhone laugh a little bit, and gave him a picture for his empty frame. A picture of the two of them when they went to Florida. In the amusement park, they took many pictures, but the one that Two gave him was one they took together, in a selfie. Two had pulled him close and snapped the picture before MePhone was ready. Thankfully, they did another, when he was, and that was the one he gave MePhone. The selfie picture. It was MePhone's favorite, and personally, her was glad Two gave it to him.

MePhone was alone for the rest of the night. He didn't mind much. He deserved it. He deserved to be left alone. After all, he did so many terrible things. He abused his contestants, he lied to them, and he brought some of them to their literal deaths.

Two had his own contestants to take care of, so MePhone was fine being left alone anyway.

Night came. The night sky through the window was beautiful, the moon rising just above the weird volcano, the stars appearing, Black Hole ominously looking at the sky, which MePhone ignored. By then, the contestants were all in bed, including Two. Two had stopped by earlier to wish MePhone a good night's sleep away from home, which he appreciated.

MePhone couldn't sleep. He couldn't even think straight. All he could see in his mind was Cobs' face. Cobs' face permanently burnt into his mind. And the Meeple logo. The one that was printed onto his back. That will forever be a memory of Cobs and what he's done.

He can't run from these memories. He can't hide from them. But he wants to. He wants to leave them behind. He wants to leave it all behind.

Two woke the next morning in a good mood. He happily walked over to MePhone's door, then knocked on it. "MePhone? Buddy, can I come in?" he asked.

"Yeah," MePhone said, a little depressed.

Two opened the door. MePhone is sitting at the edge of his bed, in the dark. "You okay?" Two asked.

"Y-yeah," MePhone said, turning around He turned the brightness up his face. He turned around. "What is it?"

"I was gonna stop by the kitchen and see how breakfast was going. Want me to grab you something? Or do you want to join us outside?"

"Uh, no I can get it," MePhone said.

"You sure?" Two asked. "Gaty, Four and X are still in the kitchen, along with a bunch of Four's old contestants. I don't mind grabbing food for you. Ooh! I know! I'll grab you some pancakes!"

"What kind of pancakes?" MePhone asked.

"I think it's chocolate with strawberries and-"

"You know what, I do want some," MePhone replied, putting his hands together.

"Alright, buddy! You wait here and I'll get you some breakfast!" Two cheered. "And you're free to join us outside if you like!"

"Why outside?" MePhone asked.

"We eat out there a couple of times a week so Black Hole can join us," Two replied. "He doesn't eat but no one wants to be alone!" Two walked away, closing the door behind him, and entered the kitchen. "Here you go!" Two said, handing Four a bunch of money.

"Uh..." Four said. "What are you doing?"

"Paying for breakfast?" Two asked. "I can take it back."

Four screechied him, then happily took the money from Two. "Here you go," he said, dropping a plate of chocolate pancakes. "And here!" He dropped a can of whipped cream on him as well.

It took Two a couple of minutes, but he eventually recovered and brought MePhone his breakfast, X giving him a fork to take with him.

"Ohh, MePhone!" Two sang, opening the door again. "Here's your breakfast! I even prechopped some strawberries for you!"

"T-thanks, Two," MePhone said, accepting the plate from Two.

"Enjoy!" Two cheered. He walked out of MePhone's room again and outside, at the table that Winner and Marker set up.

"Good morning!" Two cheered. "I have a quick announcement to make first before we eat breakfast!"

"Aw," Pillow booed. "What's more important than breakfast?"

"Pillow!" Donut cried.

"I actually have a friend visiting here for a while," Two said. "He needed a place to stay. He's...going through some things and he doesn't want to talk to anyone, really."

"Aw," Tennis Ball whined.

"I would like if you guys left him alone until he's ready to talk," Two continued, tapping his pointer fingers together.

"Where's he staying?" Pen asked.

"He's on the third floor with me, Four, X, Batteries and Income Tax Documents," Two replied. "But I won't tell you what room he's in, just for his personal space. I just want you guys to be nice to him."

"Don't worry, Two!" Basketball cheered.

"We'll make sure we respect his space," Donut said.

"Thank you, guys," Two said. "That means a lot."

MePhone went to sleep that night. It took him a while, but he did manage to get to sleep. Without his lights, which he can no longer create, things get tricky. He turned the brightness of his face up and went to sleep that way.

MePhone was back. Back where Cobs kept him. To where Cobs took him. Back to the top of the cliff. Cobs pulled out his knife. He was talking but MePhone couldn't hear him. Cobs pushed the blade out of his knife. HE smiled, then ran towards MePhone.

His breathing sped up. He started shaking. MePhone put his hands on his head, and pulled his knees in. The moment he feared. The moment Cobs wanted all along. If Cobs couldn't have him, he was just going to take what he wanted. The Shimmer. He already scared off the rest of them. He can't scare this one.

In order to get it, he had to free it from his body. And there is NO WAY he's just going to turn him off, open him up, take the Shimmer, and restart him. Not with Cobs. Cobs wants him with him, or not at all. And since MePhone warned the Shimmers about Cobs plan to kill them, he wanted MePhone dead.

MePhone closed his eyes. He heard the crack of another screen, besides his own. He opened his eyes to see MePad's bowtie in front of him, his shape appearing shortly after. "MePad!" MePhone cried, running up to him, and getting on his knees. "I told you not to die for me."

"It wasn't for you," MePad replied, his screen turning off after.

Cobs said something else, then pulled his knife out of MePad's screen and charged at MePhone again. Cobs is still saying something MePhone can't hear. MePhone backed into the rock wall. "Time to die, 4," Cobs said, for the first time audibly. MePhone closed his eyes out of instinct.

He reopened them when he felt a few sparks. He looked down to see the knife piercing his body, petruding out, just under his face. "Aha, gotcha," Cobs said.

"But...I..." MePhone muttered. His vision began to fade. "Say goodbye, 4," Cobs said, smirking.

MePhone's vision went black, and he felt his body hit the floor, the knife pushing against the ground.

MePhone shot up, panting. He put his hands on his face. "No, no, no, no, no..." he panted.
