“The Ichor Spill” chapter 3 - Vee

Instructions

“The Ichor Spill” chapter 3 - Vee Vee sat in the corner of the room, hidden by boxes, trying to stay as calm as she could. Her breathing was heavy, too heavy, they might hear her. Cosmo and Sprout were… arguing..? At least she thought they were… The idea of those two fighting sounds crazy. “Cosmo..! J-.. Just listen to me..! I’m sorry..! It’s just…” Sprout said, tears falling to the floor. “Just what..” Cosmo answered, turning away, “What did I do..? I was just saying bye to Looey, it's not that serious.” Sprout looked at him in anger, did Cosmo not care about Looey? “All you do is over think what's happening,” Cosmo stated, looking straight back at him, “I only said goodbye. Like just because I rushed him doesn’t mean a thing, ok?” Sprout was so mad he wanted to punch Cosmo. “I overthink!?” Sprout yelled in anger, “You are the one who is always overthinking things!!!” His face filled with even more tears than before, was their friendship coming apart in real time? Cosmo looked at Sprout again, his eyes filling with tears too, “Of course you think that, you don’t even understand what I’m going through. I mean… I…” Cosmo ran out of the room and slammed the door shut, Sprout quickly followed behind. Vee turned her recording off and saved it to her database. Suddenly Vee got pulled into the ground and screamed, “AHHHH!!!!” Finally Vee hit the floor, and that stopped her screaming all together. “Oh sorry Vee, I forgot you said to warn you in some way before pulling you down.” Connie said giggling, as she floated over to a chair, and sat down. Vee rolled her eyes and walked over to her own chair. “Where’s Ginger? I thought she would be here.” Vee said, looking down. Vee was very impassioned today, it wasn’t going to best for her research, she’s hit a road block. “Yeah yeah, she is, She’s just taking a long time getting supplies today.” Connie said, shrugging. Vee looked at Connie in concern, why would Ginger take longer, and does she take a lot longer often? “Shouldn’t we go check on her? I mean, what if a twisted got her or something?” Vee replied, starting to get up out of her seat. The door swung open and Ginger walked inside, smiling at Vee. “S-Sorry I took so long..!” Ginger said, sitting down next to Vee, “I just thought I heard Cosmo again, you know!” Ginger looked nervous telling them that. She's not normally this nervous. “Ginger for the last time Cosmo is with Vee and the others, you know that.” Connie said, floating up to a board full of papers. Connie grabbed a notebook and a walkie talkie that were laying on the desk below. Connie switched the talkie on, “Hello? Rodger come in, it’s Connie.” Ever since Ginger found the walkie talkie in a box they’ve been in contact with Rodger and a few other toons. “Yes Connie I’m here, what do you need?” Rodger replied, through the static of the talkie. Connie looked at Vee and pointed her head at something really fast. “Oh yeah, I did get something Connie. A um.. Video of Cosmo and Sprout fighting, and some more research about the twisteds.” Connie said something into the talkie to Rodger, no one was really sure what. “Ok Vee, we need you in here in about a week okay?” Connie began, “Bye Rodger.” The walkie talkie switched off. Connie floated back to seat and sat done, she was writing something in the notebook now. “Ok, so you get as much research as you can Rodger will be coming in a week and we need his visit to be worth it okay?” Vee looked at Connie and shook her head. But how was she going to get more research with her road block? Connie shook her head back and set the notebook down. “Are you ready to leave yet?” Connie asked Vee. Vee looked at her for a minute or two, then answered by shaking her head. Connie floated her to Vee and grabbed her arms, trying to be as careful as she could. “Ok ready? 3… 2… 1… GO!” Connie said, lifting Vee up through the sealing. It was faster than Vee had hoped, but they did land on the next floor's ground safely. Connie floated back into the ground with a trace, and Vee had to sigh. All she had to do now was make sure no one else was in the room, then she could leave. Carefully, she got up and walked over to her bed. No one was in the room, she was home free. [Continued below]
