Chapter Text
After the door opened Toodles took off with Rodger running behind her. Glisten was still snickering as he followed the two. Teagan and Tisha also paired together trying to decide the details of the next tea party (literally being the only sane ones). Shrimpo and Finn left last, deciding to extract together.
Finn was doing the first one while Shrimpo was watching him from behind. He couldn’t help to show a small smile while Finn was humming a little sea shanty. He always did it whenever he was working or fishing w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ h̶e̶ h̶a̶d̶ b̶e̶e̶n̶ g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ o̶u̶t̶ t̶o̶ w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ h̶i̶m̶ d̶o̶. Their peaceful moment was interrupted yet again by another toon, this time it was by the sound of screaming right after the power cut out. Both of them were slightly startled in the pitch black darkness.
Finn spoke up first, breaking the silence, “What was that…?”.
“I don’t know but it doesn’t sound good.” he said quietly, almost seeming worried for the toon. Shrimpo led the way to where it came from while holding Finn’s hand so he wouldn’t get lost in the dark, causing Finn to accidently blush. He said a silent prayer of thanks that it was too dark for Shrimpo to notice.
When they finally got to the main room it was an absolute mess. Toodles was panic running from Twisted Brightney, Tisha was rushing to finish the last machine with Teagan, and Glisten was hiding with a med kit behind a box.
“Stay here, I’ll deal with this…” Shrimpo said after letting go of his hand, like a tired mom having to deal with their idiot kids. Finn wanted to protest but decided to just keep his mouth shut. Shrimpo immediately got to work, grabbing Toodles and chucking a box at Brightney while snatching the med kit from Glisten to use on Toodles, ignoring his protests. After getting everyone into the elevator he ran in himself, tightly holding Toodles with his tail forgetting to return her to Rodger. Finn just stared at him awkwardly, while Rodger had just given up on asking for his kid back. Finn kind of thought it was adorable, but he couldn’t say that out loud without his glass getting shattered. He quickly took his eyes off of Shrimpo and looked up.
