Four and X were working in the kitchen, cooking up some meals for the hotel guests.
"Order up!!" X chirped as he rang the kitchen bell. Four swiftly took the food, packaging it into a bag before sending it off. "Great work today X!" he said as he patted his head with a smile. X giggled and smiled back at him, feeling proud with his work today. The sweet moment was quickly interrupted when someone barged into the kitchen. Four looked over, his smile falling, "What?"
"Where is Two?? It should be time for cake at stake!". It was Golfball, she stared at them both angrily. "Not our problem" Four shrugged. "Well someone has to do it!!" She protested. "Or else how will we do the challenge today??"
"Grrrrnjgehdjeiskw" Four grumbled and groaned to himself, "Fineee fine i'll go find Two if you will leave us alone after". Before anyone could speak, they disappeared.
X hopped onto the kitchen counter, swinging their legs as they patiently would wait for Fours return.

Four stood in front of Two's room, not bothering to knock before entering. As they entered, they noticed Two defeatedly laying in bed, empty ice cream tubs and tissue boxes scattered on the bedside table, some on the floor as well.
"You're a mess" Four scoffed.
Two turned to look at them, not saying anything.
It become apparent to Four that Two had been and was still crying, their eyes red and puffy.
"Not now Four.. please i'm not in the mood".
Four was surprised at the state Two was in, he had never seen Two sad, especially not THIS sad. As much as he HATED them, he wanted to know what was going on.
"What's going on with you?" He asked casually.
Two sniffed, holding onto a pillow for comfort. "Gaty.. she.. she's gone.." Only a few words in before they immediately began to cry again. "It's.. it's all my f-fault.. If i hadn't left her, there could've been a way for me to save her.. to keep her safe but i.. i couldn't" They wept. Four awkwardly nodded, not knowing how to comfort them. "Uhmm.. i'm sure she's fine.."
There was a long pause of silence, often interrupted by Twos depressing sobs.
"Look, i can do Cake at Stake for you, just, feel better I guess". Four grumbled. Two nodded, "Thanks Four.."
"Yeah, okaay" He said before leaving to find the contestants.

X scrubbed the dishes while quietly humming to himself. He drained the sink and dried off his hands as he finished. Heading to leave the kitchen before his attention was caught by a glowing blue light. He spun around again to find where it was coming from. He saw the light spilling out of one of the lunch bags, confused and intrigued he walked towards it.
He cautiously leaned over, taking a peek inside. But before he could do anything he felt himself being dragged closer and closer to it.
"Wha-WHA! AHH HELPP!! FOURR?? TWOOO?!? ANYONEE HELPPPPP" They begged as they screamed.
Everything suddenly went white, their head ringing as their eyes began to drift open. "huh.?" They mumbled to themselves in confusion. Finding their surrounding strange and new. There were stars, planets and moons decorated around the place. A bookshelf to the side and a table with a small scale replica of the hotel and grasslands. They tilted their head in confusion, suddenly noticing a table in front of them with a strange piece of paper. Before their attention being drawn to a figure sitting on a sofa in front of them.
"Helllooooo X".
