~~~~where did she go?~~~~

I have been searching for some ingredients for an amazing cake that Cosmo and I were planning to make, but I got pushed to the ground by Dandy. And I sighed. 

"What has he done now?" I mumble as I watch Dandy grab a can of rock food. He probably forgot about pebble again. Poor pebble, he deserves better than that. Anyway, back to grabbing ingredients, I walk over to retrieve the eggs, flour, sugar, and other necessary items. As I reach to grab the flour, it goes everywhere. I sigh and then call out for Tisha.

"TISHA??!"I yelled, but she didn't come. That's not normal for her, so I tell Cosmo that I'm going to find her. I went looking down in the warehouse and headed towards a lab-like area, where I saw Tisha being attacked by Twisted. Well, it was a bit strange, like there's a force field around her. I went to help her by leading the twisted off her using an air horn. Later then I came back giving Tisha a heal.

"Thankss.." Tisha grumbles. She doesn't seem like herself; she kinda sounds sleep deprived. How long has she been down here?

"No problem, Tisha. WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOWN HERE? IT'S LIKE FLOOR 30?!" I say, losing my temper, Tisha flinches due to my sudden yelling 

"S-sorry sprout," she stutters, and I facepalm myself. I grab her and lead her back to the elevator. We arrive back at the kitchen, and I explain what I want Tisha to clean. I help her a bit, just to say sorry for yelling at her. She smiles a bit, but it's not her normal smile. Something's wrong with her, but I don't want to say it out loud. I think she gets the idea anyway. I walk back to Cosmo, who had started the cake without me, and she gets the piping bag ready for the icing on the cake.

"ur really good at setting up," I say, playfully nudging Cosmo

"Oh, stop it, Sprout. u have just the same skills." Cosmo playfully says as he makes the icing for the cake I watch him make the icing for the cake in the glance of the side of my eye traces of some what ichor from where tisha where cleaning up was left I stared in horror mind racing with thoughts 

hey you seem over whellemed?" cosmo questions not being able to see the ichor on the floor....

*Mind. What's wrong with Sprout? he seems overwhelmed, and I'm starting to get scared. I wish it's nothing, okay? I'm just going to focus on the icing for the cake.* I think to myself as I stir the icing, some of my icing drips into the bowl 

"Heya, sprout want to add fondent or... no?"I ask, trying to get his mind off whatever he's thinking. 

"U-uh yeah, yeah sure..." Sprout stuttered. That didn't work.

A few minutes pass, and the cake is finished. Now we deliver to Goob! Sprout and I walk towards Goobs' room. As we open the door, 2 little stretched-out arms grab me and sprout. We nearly dropped the cake, but it's fine still.

"CAKE YAY!" Goob exclaimed, putting his face right into the cake and starts to eat it 

"Goob! Don't eat so fast!" Scraps yells across the room  

"Awww," Goob replies and stops eating fast. He's eating slowly. Still, a mouth full of cake can make u choke. Well, at least the cake was a success, and I smiled a bit. My icing drips on sprout and sprout chukles Whatever he was thinking is not on his mind anymore
