3 got up, looked at the calendar and realized it was December 15, so after he saw it he closed the store and went to the Internet Graveyard. He had promised the Knuckles that he would come visit them. The sky was a little cloudy when he came out, but he didn't mind that.
It had been a few months since SMG3 started living in SMG4's Castle and had opened his cafeteria, so he hadn't seen the Dead Memes in a while, but he had promised them that 10 days before Christmas he would go to see them again.
Together with Eggdog they traveled a long way, until they arrived. At first he met several Knuckles, who welcomed him very happily, then he arrived at the Starbucks where he previously lived, where he met other Memes. He then began to hand out various gifts he had brought to all the Dead Memes.
SMG3 loved the Internet Graveyard, not only because he was the King of this place, but also because the Dead Memes had treated him well since the day he arrived and even some of them (Especially the Knuckles and the Eggdogs) had adopted as a father figure, the latter was what the red-eyed boy liked the most. That's why sometimes I spoiled them a lot.
Just after he had finished handing out all the gifts to the Memes, he heard a very loud clap of thunder. And when he looked out he realized that it had already started to rain, it wasn't a very heavy rain, but he didn't want to take any risks, so he decided that he was going to stay that night at Starbucks.
He took one of his old pajamas and began to prepare something to eat for himself, Eggdogs, and Knuckles. Thank goodness there was still food from the last time I had gone to visit that place.
He quickly started cooking, until he heard someone knocking on the door. He turned off the stove so he could go check it out without any of the Knuckles or Eggdogs getting hurt, he walked to the door and when he opened the door he couldn't believe what he saw.
- *Cough* Ho-Hello SMG3 -.
- SMG4!? - said 3 - What the hell are you doing, the rain came down!? -.
- It's a long story *Coughs* - he said before sneezing - I went to the mall to help SMG2 with something and after *Sneezes* we left he went home and when he was on his way to the castle he started * Cough* rain -.
Before 4 could react, the red-eyed man had already pulled him into the Starbucks.
- You're an idiot, only you would think of going out to a place so far away without an umbrella on such a cloudy day -.
- It *Coughs* is... -.
The blue-eyed man's clothes were completely soaked and he could tell that he was shaking, he also sneezed and coughed very frequently, he put his hand on his forehead and even with the glove on he felt very hot, so there was no doubt, he already knew. had caught a cold
- Wait here, I'll be back now -.
- Ok *Sneezes* -.
SMG3 went back to look for some extra pajamas in his old room, 3 was taller than SMG4 by a few centimeters, so it would be kind of difficult to find something that would fit 4. He was searching for a long time, but he couldn't find anything, so he He decided to give her a light purple shirt and dark purple pants.
When he returned to where the blue-eyed boy was, he realized that Eggdog was with him.
"Here, I don't have anything in your size, so you'll have to use this one," he said, handing her the pajamas. "You can change in the bathroom."
- *Cough* Thanks 3 -.
SMG4 went to change and the red-eye continued making the food. 2 minutes later 4 had already left the bathroom and SMG3 had told him to sit on the couch, while he finished the meal.
Knuckles and Eggdogs started trying to cheer up 4, but nothing they did seemed to help. Although the blue-eyed boy made an effort to try to have fun with them, pain and nausea took over his body.
It didn't take long for 3 to come out of the kitchen with several plates, first he put some on the floor, so that the Memes could eat and then he sat down next to SMG4 and left two plates near where they were.
- Here, these medicines should help you feel better -.
- Th-thank you, SM-SMG3... *Coughs* -.
- I owe you, when I felt bad you helped me, even if it was just a tiny fever -.
- It's what *Coughs* friends do...*Sneezes*-.
After 4 took the pills, SMG3 started to eat, when he noticed that the blue-eyed boy was still shaking a lot.
- Are you cold? -.
- A bit... -.
The red-eyed man quickly took a sheet that he had folded near one of the sides of the chair, put it on and also put a cloth with slightly cold water on it.
- Better, Scrub? -.
- Yes... Much better... Thank you... *Sneezes -.
- You are welcome -.
About 15 minutes passed, 3 and he had finished eating, as did the Memes, but SMG4 hadn't even touched his plate. SMG3 knew it was because he was too dizzy, but he also knew that if he didn't eat, he would never get better. So after picking up his plate and the Dead Memes' plate, he took the plate of 4.
- Open your mouth - he said, bringing the spoon closer to the blue-eyed boy's face.
- What...? -.
- I understand that you feel bad and everything, but if you don't eat, you will never get relief -.
SMG4 was still very confused, since 3 was behaving very strangely, not only was he taking care of him, but he also seemed to be worried about his health.
His mind was so lost that he didn't realize that he unconsciously had his mouth half open, so the red-eyed man took advantage of that to give him a small spoonful of the soup.
- It's delicious! - he said surprised.
- I told you - answered 3.
After 4 finished the soup SMG3 went to leave the dishes in the kitchen and when he returned he realized that he was already completely asleep. He turned off the light very carefully and went to lie down on his bed.
It had already stopped raining so intensely and it was starting to get dark, so the red-eyed man decided that it would be better to sleep early so that he could return to the Showgrounds early in the morning. He turned off the light and lay down to sleep, praying that SMG4 would be better tomorrow morning...
In the early morning, SMG3 woke up with a start when he heard thunder that was too loud and at the same time he heard someone knocking on his door. He opened it and saw that it was a Knuckle.
- What's happening little one...? -.
The Meme just pointed to the floor below and left, 3 was confused, until he understood what he meant. So he quickly went down to the living room and when he arrived he saw that he was right. The blue-eyed boy was crying.
- SMG4?...Are you okay?... -.
This one only threw himself on top of 3, giving him a very strong hug.
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... -.
The red-eyed man did not understand anything of what was happening, but he simply hugged him back, so that he would calm down a little.
About 5 minutes passed and he had completely calmed down, so that's when SMG3 asked again what had happened.
- It was just a stupid nightmare... - she said wiping her tears - Don't worry... -.
- A nightmare... What was it about? -.
- I went crazy again... But this time I ended up with everyone -.
SMG3 was surprised, months had passed since that accident and he was still afraid of him... Poor 4...
- That will never happen, because I am going to make sure of that -.
- Thank you SMG3... -.
- Hey, that's what friends do... -.
SMG4 smiled at the red-eye and after that he lay down on the red-eye's shoulder and fell asleep, just like 3...
