Chapter Text
“JUMP!” Smg4 yelled as he and Smg3 jumped out of the castle window, barely grabbing onto a ledge
The two watched the castle sink and let out a deep breath, and Smg4 tightened his grip on his perfect video.
But a sudden rumble shook them and knocked the video away.
Smg4 reached for the video above them, but Smg3 was focused on keeping his grip on the ledge.
Three’s hand slipped and he breathed heavily, attempting to keep hold of the ledge
“SHIT!” He thought as he lost grip and fell, but his foot was caught by Four.
Three whined in fear, dangling above what had swallowed the castle whole.
Four groaned, trying to pull the other up.
“Where’s- FUCK!” He gasped, seeing the video he had been working on for weeks on his foot.
Three continued to hyperventilate, scared of falling to his death.
“Don’t worry man! I got you!” Four said, attempting to pull them both up “I’m not letting you go!”
But as the video began to slip from his foot, he gasped and looked between it and Smg3 as if he had to make a decision.
“Wh-what are you thinking? Smg4?” Three questioned looking scared that the other would drop him
Smg4 kept glancing, the video almost gone from his foot
“W-we can make another! Remember what I said?” He panicked
Smg4 heaved, panicking badly and he quickly glanced between the two below him
“We…We’re friends!” Three said, looking scared at his ex-nemesis
Smg4’s ears rang, pupils shaking as he finalized his decision.
…
The crew looked sadly upon the giant pit where the castle once was, believing their beloved friends who had protected them for ages were gone.
“I- I can't believe it…” Meggy said
Mario wiped his eyes with his sleeve, beginning to sob
suddenly the group heard grunting as if someone were climbing up the pit
Smg4’s hand reached the top of the hole, and he attempted to pull himself up
“A little- ngh! help?” he weakly said, the adrenaline from the escape wearing off
“I got you!” Meggy rushed over and helped pull him up
“You made it!” Boopkins cheered
“THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY!!!” Meggy hugged Four, making sure to not hug too tightly
Mario ran over and tackled Smg4 to the ground with a hug, tears falling down his face “WAHHHHHHH YOU SCARED MARIO AGAIIIIIN”
Smg4 chuckled “Haha, sorry man”
as the cheering from the crew died down, Saiko spoke
“Wait, where’s Smg3?”
everyone suddenly started looking around, wondering the same
Smg4 looked to his hand, the video sitting gripped in his palm..
..“We…We’re friends!” Three said, looking scared at his ex-nemesis
Smg4’s ears rang, pupils shaking as he finalized his decision.
“I-I’m so sorry, Three.” Four said, letting go of his friend's foot and grabbing his video in the nick of time
Smg3 looked at Smg4, betrayal covering his face, along with fear.
He couldn't bring himself to scream, he could only curl into a ball and sob to himself
Four couldn't bear to look, so he began his climb up.
midway through, a thump and crack were heard as what Four could only assume was Three hitting the bottom of the pit..
..Four sighed, looking back at the group
“Three.. He didn’t make it.”
Everyone gasped, and murmurs were heard throughout the crowd
They were petrified, he had died???
“Oh no…” Meggy said, tears welling in her eyes.
Lots of the group teared up, but only one cried more than anyone.
A whimper came from behind the group, who turned to see Eggdog.
That’s when Smg4 broke down.
He fell to the ground, sobbing.
Eggdog walked over to four, leaning against the meme guardian.
Four took the dog into his arms, holding him close
“I’m sorry- I’m so, so sorry-” He sobbed, mumbling apologies to the dog as the group stared in sadness at the knowledge.
“I couldn't- sob I couldn't protect him- I couldn't save him-” Four continued to cry.
He looked at the dog “I promise to take care of you for him- I’m so sorry-”
This continued for a while before everyone started to leave.
…
“Smg3 was a great friend of mine, we shared so many moments. I only wish we could’ve become..friends.” Smg4 sighed, walking off the stand and back into his seat.
He was wearing a pair of Smg3’s overalls since they were black.
Everyone else gave their respective speeches about Smg3, trying their best to preserve his memory.
It was his funeral date, and they had set stuff up for a funeral outside of the pit where the castle had sunk.
At the end of the funeral, everyone left flowers outside the pit and left.
But four stayed, he felt guilty.
He stared at the pit for a long time, thinking about the events that had occurred “I.. I’m sorry Three,” He said before turning and walking away.
