Okay before the chapter can i just mention that they said “Crying can go after getting the boxes inside and eating pizza alone” or something like that? Well they never did that. Yeah they did it the day after but they didn’t even eat the pizza alone wtf man >:( /j /mini rant

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

In the grass was.. giant sentient objects?? Talking ones at that??

They all paused what they were doing in a cartoonish way, a red soda bottle holding a copper gas lantern by its “neck” with a fist in the air, a blue candle seemed to be trying to stop the fight, a green backpack holding a laptop, a school tray, whipped cream container, piece of molding bread, and a average sized subway seat were all just kind.. Sitting there.

“Am I on-” You were cut off with a startled yelp as the tray, whipped cream, and the subway seat limbs and faces disappeared. You just stood there, confused. “H-Hey um- D-Don’t panic!” The backpack said, setting the laptop into its main compartment within itself?? “Wh- What's going on??” You said, slightly stumbling over your words, maybe its a dream? The soda bottle huffs, looking at the copper lantern with an angry expression as the lantern has its arms up in defense. “Look at what you’ve done Airy! You’ve gotten us stuck in a random world and a human has seen us!” The soda bottle said, and the offended “Airy” said back in a shockingly (slightly concerningly too) voice, “I was.. Trying to.. Get you back home..” Silence filled the air for a moment before the bread spoke up with a snarky voice, “Seems like you failed on that.” Shuffling forward slightly to get a better look at them, the all froze slightly, seemingly to forget you were there. “L-Look, I am very confused on what's going on right now but.. W-why are you in my backyard?” The soda bottle and backpacks faces turn into confusion, “Wait your not panicking right now?” The soda bottle spoke up, letting go of the gas lamp to look at you with a blank, slightly confused face. “N-no, I am definitely a bit panicked right now, but screaming won’t exactly save me here..” You say cautiously, concerned that they might know no-one will hear you if you yell or anything. “Maybe if y-you stop fighting I will be able to help?” You continued as the bread scoffed after that, “What could you manage to do? Get someone to take us away?” You look at them, a bit- no, definitely scatterbrained. “I-I don-” “Y-you won’t do that, right?” The backpack cuts you off, reaching an arm out and stepping closer.

Stepping back a bit, the nervousness growing inside of you as you open your mouth to speak before being cut off by the soda bottle this time, “We can just tie them up or something so they can’t do anything.” It- He said, stepping in your direction while looking at the others. As he stepped closer, you realized they were taller than you. Fun. Feeling even more panicked, your eyes started to water while stepping back more, reaching for the glass door. “I-I won’t tell anyone, I promise..” “Bryce! We need them to be calm!” The backpack said, stepping in front of the soda bottle apparently named Bryce to stop him. The backpack turned to you, smiling, “Actually, do you have a charger?”

“Wh-What?” You stepped back into the house as the backpack walked inside, “Y-Yeah, I have one for my laptop..” Bryce turned away as the candle, bread, and Airy walked onto the porch as well. “I like the idea of tying them up and stealing the charger more than this.” The bread spoke up, “Huh? No, Moldy! They agreed to help, right?” The candle said, looking at you with hopeful eyes. You gently nodded, “Y-Yeah I can help! J-Just don’t do anything..” You took more steps back, turning to the hallway to the Entry, “I-I just moved in, so I have to go get the electronics box, b-but I won’t need help!” You sutter, glad to find a way out of this situation. It’s scary.. But fascinating. It feels like Grandpa’s old stories.

Before you can get away any quicker, Bryce speaks up. “I think you will need help with the box.” He said, following closely with Moldy as well. “Agreed.” She stated simply.

This isn’t what you expected, but who knows what can happen anymore?
