Its been a week since Michael posted that livestream to the public, and its gone fairly viral. Unfortunately, Chip is oblivious to what has been going on. Being more of an "exploring her world" type of pug, her interests of electronics were zero. So was Spud. He was more into sports. The only one who really knew something about the livestream was Little Poppa. He was watching the livestream, because at one point when Michael showed his face, Little Poppa recognized him. Michael was known for having a troubled past, getting into trouble with the police and even was in juvenile for 6 months. Nobody knew why his behavior was such bitter, maybe its due to childhood trauma, maybe due to having abusive parents, nobody knows for sure. Little Poppa and Little Momma were both at chip's class show, in which she had already finished. Its safe to say they are impressed. Meanwhile, Paco had planned for a playdate with Spud. The pandas just also so happened to be with them too..

NEW CHARACTER:Spud Pug. Age: 17-18, Gender: Male, Race: Pug

Spud: Yeah. I know. It has been so many years and yet we've still grown up with each other. Dang how I miss the golden days.

NEW CHARACTER:Paco Llama. Age: 17-18, Gender: Male, Race: Llama

Paco: Same here dude, I miss everything. Ever since "The Great Disappearance" happened, it all started from there. But, don't ever worry if you're going through anything tough, alright? Cause i'm always gonna be here for you.

Spud: Thanks a lot, Paco. It's crazy to think our friendship has lasted so long, and sure, we did have some arguments and some breaking points, but the only thing that matters is that we never broke off from each other, no matter what.

Paco: Yeah, and I really gotta say that i'm thankful to have you in my life dude.

Spud: Same here.

Paco: So, it actually seems you're home alone it seems.. why is that?

Spud: Oh, thats because my family asked me if I wanted to go with them on a sleepover at a relatives house. Out of the blue by the way. I find it weird, but I really didn't mind. I told them I didn't feel like going, so they told me to be careful. They're going somewhere far, so I got time. What are you up to?

Paco: Huh, thats odd. Anyways, its the exact same for me, i'm home alone but my parents will be home in around 8 hours. How's your sister doing?

Spud: Shes doing better. Its odd though, one day when she was 10, she was looking for someting. She seemes panicked. It was only until my mother found a dead mouse that looked like it was boiled alive. It was found in a pot that was left there for some reason. Ever since, her mood dropped. Shes doing good as of now, but sometimes gets emotionsl. I typically am there for her to comfort her.

Paco: Dang, thats crazy to hear. I feel bad for chip now, but to know that you're always being a good older brother like that, you have my respect.

Spud: Thanks Paco. Anyway, I got some homework to do. Call you later, alright?

Paco: Sounds good.

The call ends.

Spud would put down his phone, starting to work on his homework.

Spud: Good thing this time its a bit easier than what was on the finals of the first semester.

He would fly through all of his homework in the span of 24 minutes.

4:33 PM

Spud: Whew, that wasn't too bad actually.

He gets up from his desk, and notices a familiar picture on it. He picks it up.

Spud: ..the good old days.. me and Paco back when it was happier. And that hat, perhaps I guess I will never know where it has gone. I really should just enjoy some alone time, they will be back probably by tomorrow at 7:00 PM.

Spud would proceed to just watch some sports on TV to pass the time.

6:03 PM

Spud: Lets go! another win for my favorite team! That was a game.. I guess i'll just chill for no-

Spud stops speaking as he hears his phone start buzzing.

Spud: Huh..? Whos calling?

He checks.

Spud: Oh, its Paco.

He accepts the call, and surprisingly, Paco spoke first. Usually Spud would, but he shrugs it off.

Paco: Uhm, hey Spud. Sorry if im bothering you at this time.

Spud: No no, its fine. You need something?

Paco: ...Yeah, I need a favor from you.

Spud: Of course, man! What do you need?

Paco: Well, i'm home alone, right, I told you, but the thing is, I heard someone knocking on my door. I looked out, and i'm pretty sure it was an alternate.

Spud: An alternate? You sure you aren't just seeing things?

Paco: No no, I saw it clear. I'm over here staying at a hotel now, my parents are already aware. I just wanna ask you to go over there and turn on the security cameras I have.

Spud: You have security cameras?

Paco: Yeah, the majority of Happyton installed them ever since the outbreak started. Has your family done so?

Spud: Oh wait, yeah they did. Sorry, I kinda slipped up. But anyways I'll go do that right now, but why didn't you turn them on?

Paco: Well, I was too scared to do that. It was making these weird noises, I didn't wanna look at it so I told my parents and i'm staying at this hotel for the night now.

Spud: Oh, alright. Got it.

Paco: Oh, also make sure you have a clear view of the living room and kitchen, those places are where I heard it the most.

Spud: Alright, got it.

Paco: Alright, i'm gonna go rest now, thanks Spud.

Spud: No problem dude.

The call ends.

Spud: Huh... thats something. I suppose I should go do what Paco asked right now.

He exits his home, proceeding to start his car and driving off.

Spud: Sigh My good ol' Happyton, at least its still shining as much as it can after everything thats happened.

He turns to look at another key building.

Spud: And Rainbow Forest School, another one. I miss that school, I wonder what happened to Chip and the rest of the Happy Hoppers, I wonder where they are now.

Spud would continue to drive to Paco's home.

Spud: Why did he move farther away again.. Oh wait, its because of the outbreak, and they moved away for more security. Thats kinda weird though. He has security cameras, even an app on his phone to alert him of an intruder, I dont see why he would need to move away, but really everyone here in Happyton does crazy things just to make sure the alternates never get to them.

As he continued to drive, his thoughts drifted into the days of childhood. The old days, rainbows everywhere, smiles everywhere, now all lost to one's rage. He can't help but beg why the days have gone and the rainbows have lost color..

7:38 PM

Spud: Whew, that was a long drive. Luckily here I am. Its best that I go and turn Paco's cameras on now and get it over with.

He would go inside the house, and do so. He then remembered about what Paco said about the living room and the kitchen, and went over there to check. While turning on the one in the kitchen, he suddenly heard a strange groaning noise.

Spud: Uhh... Is anyone there..?

He called out, he was looking towards a corner in the kitchen. It is absurdly dark for no reason. The groaning got a tad bit louder as 2 white eyes started to glow. Startled, Spud flinched and rubbed his eyes, only to see that theres not anything there. He shrugs it off, feeling that hes hallucinating.

Spud: One day... One day those monsters will be gone soon. I hope so...

Spud proceeds to leave the cameras on, and gets in his car to start driving back. As he is on the road back, he can't help but feel that something followed him from Paco's home. He feels really uneasy, he feels as if something is in the passenger seat riding back home with him. Despite all this, he tries to ignore it, thinking it's an alternate trying to trick him and make him pull over to attack him. This happens for the rest of the car drive.

8:39 PM

Spud: Finally im back home, yet I can't help feel that something had followed me back home.. Whatever, It's most likely an alternate trying to fool me. I just need some rest..

Spud laid down in his bed, and attempts to gain some rest. He only can close his eyes, he still can't shrug this feeling off, its like something has attached to him and isn't letting go. Suddenly, all the power in the home shut off.

Spud: ...What the hell..? If there's anyone out there, leave now. This isn't funny.

He calls out, only to be met with silence and the cold darkness of the home.

Spud: Seriously, quit it.

He peeked out of his room, then quietly walked over to the stairs and slowly crept down. It was so dark in the home that it felt like he was in a different universe, he couldn't hear a thing except the thumping of his heart. He then peeks down into the living room, slowly looking back and forth into the kitchen. He walks down fully down the stairs, walking towards the living room. He then noticed something, looking towards a window next to the front door, and sees a tall figure, reaching up to the top of the window frame, peeking at him with 2 white glowing eyes. Its claws were on the window.

Spud: W-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?

Startled, he ran off, climbing back up the stairs and closing the door to his room, locking it.

Spud: W-what was that thing.. why was it peeking like that? And it looks to similar to someone, I just can't figure it out.

He looked at his phone, then remembered something. He opened an app connected to his home security cameras. He switched to the living room camera, and watched as the alternate entered through the front door, its big claws reaching into the home. It was making the same groaning noises he heard at Paco's home, and he could hear them even when the cameras were off. He was switching between cameras and watched as the alternate slowly came up the staircase, it was clear that the alternate had already seen him.

Spud: Dang it.. I was right after all, I knew that something followed me home, Why was I so foolish and thought it wasn't anything?

Spud dashed up and went to a few cabinets, retrieving a pistol from one of them.

Spud: I'll need to keep this, but only use it when absolutely necessary.

Suddenly, a deep and glitchy voice started speaking, it sounds like its on the second floor now.

?: Spud... show me... where you are... Now. I wont... leave...

Spud: I swear, if you try to do ANYTHING to me, you'll be dead as these bullets hit you.

?: Don't try... to kill me... Im your... friend... right Spud...?

Spud: Friend!? Who the hell are you!? I am not your friend whatsoever, so get the hell out of my home!

?: I... won't... go away... Open... the door...

The alternate proceeded its way up to Spud's bedroom door, its voice growing more hostile and yelling louder. It was now thumping on the bedroom door.

Spud: You better stop!

?: Hahahah... foolish mortal... your ignorance is why you will die...

Spud: I will have to use my weapon then.

Suddenly, the alternate finally broke down the door. it appears as being way taller than Spud, its hands sharp as a razor blade, and its face fully black, with spiky teeth and 2 menacing white glowing eyes staring back down at Spud. However, based on its appearance, Spud is finally able to make out what the thing is, and immediately becomes distraught.

Spud: ..P-Paco..!?

?: Hahah... Yes... that foolish llama was ignorant too.. and that is why he is dead... you will die too, Spud.

NEW CHARACTER:Paco Llama (Alternate). Age: N/A, Gender: Male, Race: Alternate, Class Type: 3

Paco (A): FOOLISH SPUD, HOW HAVE YOU FALLEN FOR SUCH AN OBVIOUS TRAP? HAHAHAHAH!

Spud: Shut the hell up! I will avenge my best friend, we did everything together, you will pay!

Despite his claims, Spud was shaking. The alternate looked menacing and towered over him, yet he didn't wanna break form. Considering its an alternate of his now apparently deceased friend, it's taking everything within his courage to not lose hope. The now replaced Paco is taking a toll on Spud's sanity, hes shaking, hiding behind the frame of his bed with the gun in his paws, its just him and his fallen friend now.
