trusting exercise

hide and seek

"It'll be okay, shrimpo would definitely come back! Trust me.."

Finn just nods with a small smile.. he'll surely come back! surely.. that night he takes a seat at vee's gameshow. the room starts to get packed full of other toons waiting for to start, the Participants show up,astro Shelly and scraps. Finn knew scraps would Win and Astro will leave mid game. After a few minutes vee arrives and starts the game show,Finn tries his best to concentrate at the show but thinking about shrimpo makes his stomach turn. What if he doesn't come back? What if he's gone forever? Finn quickly runs to the bathroom and throws up in the toilet, feeling sick.

"I must find..him.. I'm sorry shrimpo...I will find you.."

Shrimpo
The group got bigger they rescued each other one by one,now they need to find the exit but where? They decide to split up and meet back here. Shrimpo decided to search the west side with flutter while the others did south north and east. Shrimpo enters some kind of torture room,blood stains are on the wall,chains and knives or needles. Shrimpo grabs some weapons to use when needed. They quickly leave the room,he doesn't want to know what kind of hell what happened here. Suddenly they hear a intercom. "Ahahaha! Shrimpo oh shrimpo... You think you can escape and Dave your little friends? Are you Stupid? What would the others think when seeing their doppelganger. I've had enough, let's play a game of my choice! Hide and seek. I'll give you and your friends 10 minutes to hide.. and when I find them.. I CAN'T WAIT,LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!" everyone starts panicking, shrimpo stayed calm and yelled.

"PANICKING WILL MAKE THIS WORSE IDIOTS,FIND A SOMEWHERE TO HIDE."

the others quickly run off, shrimpo knew some of the wouldn't make it and tries finding a hiding spot for himself. 8 minutes left.

Finn
Finn silently returned to the game show,he spends the whole hour thinking on how to find shrimpo.. he couldn't escape with the train.. that thing hasn't been running in months. The employees only room? He wouldn't dare to go there.. surely.. even finn doesn't want to. After the game show ends he quickly tries to get everyone's attention.

"Everyone you must listen to me! We have to find shrimpo! Please,I know he's insufferable. But he's still our friend." Some toons laugh and walk off while others look quite concerned and want to help. The small group tries to find clues to where shrimpo might have gone to.

24:12

Shrimpo has been hiding for 20 minutes,he's scared to death, what if he finds him? Are the others okay? ARE THEY DEAD? Shrimpo hides himself between his legs and starts sobbing quietly. He doesn't want to die alone. He hears footsteps and immediately stays silent. "Come out come out wherever you are!"

The footsteps fade away, shrimpo sighs in relief and decides he can't keep hiding forever. He gets out and tries finding for the others. Fast steps, faster or he'll find you. He quickly grabs a knife he accidentally left somewhere just in case. He's immediately relieved when he saw that flutter's still here. They quickly try to find the rest of the team mates that are hiding somewhere. He runs to east side of the huge basement where he found poppy and goob. Then he went to the south side to find Tisha. He's glad that most of them were safe. He wasn't a good seeker anyways when they played hide and seek a long time ago. The group enters a room where they can rest and catch their breath, the room was cold, the only sound being a leaking pipe. Everyone was sitting in a circle silently talking about their experiences and what happened down here, Shrimpo meanwhile was sitting in the corner he's completely paranoid and terrified. He's scared that he'll be stuck down here forever. And that he will find him. He takes a few breaths before joining the others, All they can do is wait until this little game is over. after a while everyone starts to sleep one by one until Shrimpo is the only one awake,he doesn't dare to sleep. He's scared that he will find them in here. That he will hurt them. shrimp's Tail twitches,he remembers something, his phone! He quickly grabs it,glad that it wasn't taken. He tries calling someone but there's no signal.. he sighs in defeat.

03:21

Hours pass and Shrimpo had fallen asleep next to flutter,his Heart was beating slowly. Using his tail as a blanket. The cold Room was nice.. better than the blazing sun,but of course he'll choose his own hot room instead a cold basement where he could probably die. It's nice that he could rest for a bit.

Finn
Finn's little group had spend the whole night making plans,they searched everywhere and decided to enter the employees only room tomorrow night. Poppy brought some snacks, looey a few weapons and yatta a rocket launcher.. no one knows where she got that from. Finn was relieved that these people wanted to help him find Shrimpo,this means so much to him. He really wishes to find him quicker but they have no choice but to wait till next night. The group said their goodbyes. Finn gets an idea.. maybe shrimpo's room has answers. He quickly stroms in. The room was untouched, seeing that makes Finn's heart shatter. He realizes he actually lost someone he loved,even though he doesn't have the courage to tell Shrimpo that. He looks around for clues, anything. He looks in shrimpo's wardrobe and grabs one of shrimp's boxers,for Personal reasons. He looks through the trash can only to find his ruined plushie with dried semen stains on it. Finn blushes,does Shrimpo feel the same way he does? Or was it just a quick fuck.. he did throw it away.. Finn sets his thoughts aside and continues searching. He didn't find anything that could've helped him,maybe he can ask someone for more information. But who? Astro.

He quickly runs to Astro's room and knocks on his door,no response. He opens it quietly and sees astro sleeping in his boxers. Finn stares and tries to ignore it.

"Uhm astro? Can I talk to you about something."

Astro stirs awake and quickly vieves himself with his Blanket,he stares at Finn with a tired but kind expression.

"Ah Finn,yes.. is there something you want to Talk about?

Finn explains the situation and astro nods along silently. Finn continues to talk and starts to get stressed,he starts speaking faster and starts to Hyperventilate. Astro quickly stands up to Comfort him. He strokes Finn's back to call him down as Finn starts sobbing. astro starts to speak up softly.

"It's going to be alright Finn, Shrimpo is fine.. but about what you said. He did tell me about saying that everything was repeating,I thought he was crazy.. maybe he's right.."

Finn nods silently and stands up he thanks astro and walks out the room while sobbing quietly. Everything will be okay,I know it.

The next day was silent, everybody was doing their thing. Finn was eating breakfast, feeling unwell. He starts getting stomach aches just to think about the employees only room, what is behind that door? Why did Shrimpo enter it in the first place? Is it still my fault or is it about something else? It's weird that him and dandy are both gone. But sooner or later he'll get his answer. He sees that his other teammates are nervous too. The dinner bell rings. Everyone is seated,Finn eats his dinner slowly. This May be his last. When he finishes and hands the plate to sprout he prepares himself for what is to come.

21:01

The team was standing Infront of the door, it's going to happen. Looey and yatta look nervous while poppy is straight up scared. They hear a voice.

"Can I come too?"

It's astro. Why would he? He doesn't really like doing dangerous stuff,but he looks serious. The others just nod.

"I'm here to find Shrimpo,and dandy.. I made some plans with the other mains,so if something goes wrong we can go back as soon as possible."

Finn looks relieved when hearing that. His hand rests on the doorknob.. it's going to happen..

"I'm coming Shrimpo."

He opens the door.
