Bubble: *takes Caine's Bubble Pipe And Flies Off*

Gangle: .....

...sorry. um. you can go back if you want.

Caine: *pops in*

DON'T WORRY ZOOBLE I'LL BRING GANGLE BACK TO SAFETY!

*snaps fingers*

Gangle: Wait wh-

*her and Caine are teleported back, leaving Zooble alone with whatever's next*

...

(A part of them wishes she’d stayed. But it’s probably for the best that she doesn’t have to see whatever’s ahead.)

Caine: Maybe I should make a better therapist AI, for the both of us.

*chuckles purely to ease tension on himself*

you know...maybe that isn’t a bad idea.

Buddy: pinkie promise?

pinky promise.

(They hold out their pinky finger.)

Jax: *punches Buddy thinking they're an NPC, causing them to fall face first into the floor*

Don't get too attached Zooby, remember Pomni and the weird alligator?

*laughs as he walks off with a pep in his step*

JAX WHAT THE (🎉) IS WRONG WITH YOU THIS IS A REAL KID

Caine: *nods in understanding and calmly flies to Buddy*

Welcome to-

*Buddy was lost, they had run away from Caine while he was distracted*

Oh...

(They run off too, frantically trying to find them.)

Caine: Sorry, Bubble needed a new chew toy.

can’t you make a new one or something?

Caine: Oh hahaha, silly Jax.

is there seriously nothing you can do about him? he treats us all like (🎉)

Buddy: *that alone seems to calm them down a bit*

Can I watch things with you? something quiet and relaxing...

of course. i think caine keeps some old royalty-free cartoons around here somewhere...

(Whoever made the circus apparently didn’t want to deal with copyright, so now everyone has to live like they’re in Skinamarink.)

Buddy: *banging the door*

LET ME OUT!

M!A: Yep, just in their room.

i- are they gonna be ok?
