The day had just started out to be like any other, the contestants doing the challenge like normal. Mepad just watched. Nothing different. However, his thoughts did shift to a certain person. He wondered where Mephone was at the moment, his mind wandering to possible places he could be. Maybe he was sick again? Or maybe he was busy with something else. Probably something important, considering he loves to watch the challenges.
He decided to look for him after a while, wondering where he could possibly be. He found him sitting on the ground, staring at a small patch of grass. Uh.??
“Sir, may I ask what-“
“Shush shush!! Mepad, look.
“Sir I-“
“No, no, just watch!”
Mepad looked down at what seemed to be a small group of bugs, finding food for their colony. It seemed completely normal to the eye.
“Sir, it’s just a colony of bugs.”
“No, you- just watch for a moment!”
Mephone pulled him down with him into a crouching position, causing him to stumble a bit. Mepad reluctantly watched, his eyes darting from the bugs to Mephone, wondering what was going on.
After a solid 5 minutes, a bug exploded, making Mepad flinch. The bugs seemed to ignore this, going on with their business.
“Hahaha. Okay, that was it.”
Mephone stood up, stretched, and put his hands on his hips and he stared back at Mepad who looked as confused as ever.
“Thats it?”
“Yeah. Alright, how are the contestants doing? I need to end the challenge soon.”
And with that, Mephone walked off, leaving a befuddled Mepad, questioning everything at the moment.
