Collision Course [+ Additional Levels]

Level Ten - Unhappy Reunion

Awkward silence instantly filled the room. Coily and Slick shared an unimpressed glance. "Um..." Coily began, trying to figure out how to say it.

Ugg paused. Then he asked, "Not good?"

They shook their heads.

"You, uh..." Slick raised his eyebrows, and cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. "You kind of just described our entire game right there."

"And that'ss not even how we got here," Coily added with a squint.

"So, as insults go, that wasn't even..." Slick just shook his head at him. "Just, nope."

Ugg sighed, shuffling through his purplish-red hair with his hand. "Right, well, erm..." he muttered, embarrassed.

After a couple of seconds, Slick said, "I still think my partner's going to get here first."

Coily groaned at him. "Sserioussly? You're going to actually resspond to that now?"

"How's that?" Ugg asked blankly, staring at Slick.

A smirk formed on Slick's face. "Oh, I don't know. Perhaps your partner went the wrong way."

Ugg gasped, stunned.

Coily face palmed. "Guyssss..." he moaned.

Ugg shot up, his chair rolling back. "You did not just make such a wretched pun out of Wrongway's name!"

"Did too."

"Did not! And you'd better wipe that little smug smile off your face before I wipe it off for you!" Ugg shouted, his rosy face turning red.

"Will you two shut up already!?" Coily yelled.

Slick ignored him. "Ugg, I don't see what your problem is." Then he added, before Ugg could comment on his sunglasses, "Oh, wait, I do. It's written all over you."

"My problem!? Boy, this really makes me wonder."

"Wonder what?" Slick asked. "What is it that, that tiny mind of yours could ever possibly manage to wonder about?"

"What it would be like if we had another character suddenly enter our conversation," Ugg answered, to which Coily cleared his throat in response with a little raise of his hand, but it was ignored. "Because I'd really like to hear their opinion on how big of a problem you are!"

"Me!?"

"Yes, you! And how, how stupid you are too!" Ugg added angrily.

"Guyss," Coily groaned, rubbing his temples. "We are all, literally, on the ssame team here."

"That's questionable," Slick told him, glaring at Ugg. "Because apparently, we've got a big problem here."

"And I'm looking right at it," Ugg stated loudly, brows raised and staring right at Slick.

"Oh, would you two jusst—"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Everybody froze, and stopped talking. Dead silence filled the room. Stunned at the sudden interruption, they stared at the door. Nobody breathed.

"Are you two expecting anyone?" Coily whispered.

Ugg slowly shook his head.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

The door rattled to the banging.

"Somebody's an unhappy customer," Slick muttered, to which Coily scoffed.
