Vee's room will NOT show up for me so I'm writing a oneshot book where i make her suffer 💕💕💕

Also because I Really like Vee and wanna explore her character. There's not enough content on her, ESPECIALLY after the update just gave us a load of lore about her and made some of her interactions 10x sadde

So uh rules

Will do!

-hurt/comfort

-hurt no comfort

-sickfics (yes, even if there already is one I've written with the same characters, just clarify a different scenario. I love sickfics I'm obviously gonna allow it)

-idk If it's not mentioned I'll say if I'm uncomfortable 

Eh

-gore (depends honestly. Im not going all out with it please I just mean like if it's an injury or something then sure just not full on ripping her apart or something concerning like that 🙏🏻 ill probably want to write the aftermath so uh yeah)

-aus (depends on what the au is. You'll have to explain it to me, though i doubt im gonna say no. There's only like 3 aus i wont write)

NO.

-Romantic relationships with toodles, coal, pebble or eggson. I'm willing to do platonic stories with them but having them together romantically Is erm. Illegal. Why do some oneshot books allow this I'm genuinely concerned 😭

-Selfcest, don't hate me for this I just genuinely get really uncomfortable with it sorry

-X reader, no y/n sorry 💔💔 same reason as above

-anything not centered around Vee

-smut

-non-con (WHY IS THIS ALLOWED SO OFTEN)

Chapter Text

That settled it. Dandy was officially the WORST. He'd put Tisha on a duo run with the goal of atleast floor 15 since she, "Wasn't the most experienced toon." Of course, she didn't mind, apart from the insult, but the person he chose to put her with?

VEE. VERSION. 1.

It was no secret that Tisha hated Vee. She made it known every chance she got. Why had Dandy decided to put her on a run with THEM of all people?

Either way, Tisha planned to just avoid her for the most part. Vee had to have some sense in her, because she seemed to be doing the same.

The elevator opened, and the twisteds were suddenly highlighted in a bright green. Twisted Scraps and twisted Tisha. Not the greatest start, but Tisha was fast enough to survive.

____

Tisha finished the last machine, which was close enough to the elevator. It felt like Vee was probably slacking off, because 3 of the machines had been finished by Tisha. 

She ran into the elevator. All had been going well, until she heard a snap.

"OW— SHIT."

Vee followed soon after, running into the elevator. Tisha smirked as she leant against the wall.

"Ha— did you get hit by scraps?"

"No... Twisted Tisha."

"PFT—" she couldn't help herself, she burst out laughing. "HAHAHA— aren't you meant to be the one with a floor 25 or something record on solo?"

"Shut up."

Dandy's shop rose from the floor, selling a bandage among other items. Vee somehow buys a bandage. How? I actually don't know,, for the sake of plot I guess.

____

Floor 2 had been a free floor, with twisted connie and Rodger. Yet again, it felt like Tisha was doing all the work.

Floor 3, twisted Teagan and Brightney. It wasn't the easiest pairing, but still manageable.

Tisha ran into a nearby room, where three of the machines were. She'd just moved onto the second one, when Vee walked in.

"You finally doing a machine instead of making me do all the work?"

Vee didn't respond, just walking over to the valve. Although she wasn't one to worry about her of all people, Tisha couldn't help but notice her extraction speed was concerningly slower than usual. So slow infact, that she finished before her.

"Why are you so slow today?" She eyed her in suspicion as she leant against the valve.

Vee stopped extracting to turn to her.

"How is it any of your business?"

"You're usually faster than me. It's making me do all of the work, THAT'S how it's my business."

"Oh, suck it up! Its not the end of the world if you have to do a f3w 3X|<a //4</—" 

Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed, and her face was replaced with a blue error screen.

Dandy was expecting to be yelled at when his shop came up for only selling gumballs. He hadn't expected to be suddenly bombarded with questions from a very angry Tisha.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?? DID YOU DO SOMETHING?!" She yelled out, gesturing behind her. Dandy raised an eyebrow before realising what she meant.

"What are you— oh..." He trailed off, seeing Vee laid out on the floor, rebooting.

"What's wrong with her? Tell me now, she's been like this all run!"

Dandy narrowed his eyes.

"I wouldn't have sent her if she SAID it was this bad," 

"If what was this bad?"

"So erm... I may have sent her down with a computer virus... SHE TOLD ME IT WAS MANAGEABLE THOUGH!!! CLEARLY A LIE!!!"

"What." Tisha blinked at him in disbelief. "So you sent her down on a run that could kill her... while she had the robot equivalent of being sick?"

"Uh..." 

"Send her back up!"

"I can't!"

"Why?"

"Then you'd have to go back up aswell!"

"So? Just end the run early. I can make up for it some way."

"Hmmm... I do have an idea." Dandy trailed off, smirking.

"What...?"

"Seeing as you're not staying for the full run length, Vee can make up for it with an extra run once she's better, and YOU," he paused, leaning forward. "Nobody else is free, so how about you take care of her for the day... or until someone else is willing to."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"I'm not giving you a choice here tisha. It's not like she can be left on her own after passing out."

"Fine. Whatever."

____

The first thing Vee noticed when she woke up, was that she felt awful. Her head was pounding, and she doubted that she could get up without bluescreening again. She couldn't remember the last time she'd felt like this, if there even was one at all, but it was unbearable.

The second thing she noticed, was that she was no longer in the run, but in her room. Someone must have taken her back after she collapsed, but who? Dandy would've let her cancel for today in the first place if he actually cared about her being sick more than the ichor, and tisha hated her. Neither of them would want to help her.

She blinked, glancing up, only to be met with what had to be the biggest shock of her life. For some reason, Tisha was in the room with her.

"Mm... tisha?" She blinked again. Her eyes felt heavy and her head felt... off. It was like she was miles away from her body. The only thing making her aware of anything was the continuous headache.

She visibly jumped, turning around quickly.

"AH— Oh, you're awake. Uh..."

"Why are you... still here? I assumed you would... leave me."

"Yeah, don't get used to it." Tisha scoffed, leaning back. "For your information, I wouldn't have left you passed out on the floor, but i didn't continue to stay with you by choice. Dandy's making me stay to make sure you don't pass out again or something to make up for ending the run early."

"Ah..." Vee didn't want to pry any further, though she couldn't help but notice the strange look on Tisha's face. However, she never got the chance to ask, as she was quickly interrupted.

"Why didn't you tell anyone that you were this sick? You could've gotten severely injured..."

"I did...?"

"What?"

"I told Dandy... earlier. He said it wasn't that bad, and that I could handle it apparently."

"...That is NOT what he told me."

"Typical."

There was a few more moments of silence, before tisha suddenly put a hand to Vee's forehead.

"Your screen is still overheating. Do you want me to get you an ice pack?"

"Mm... if you're willing to."

She nodded, leaving the room and returning a few minutes later, Icepack in hand. She adjusted it on Vee's forehead, making sure that it covered as much as possible.

"There. Does that feel better?"

"Why?"

"What..?"

"I thought that you hated me. Why are you doing this?"

"I... I do hate you, Vee." Tisha paused, turning away. "Just... not enough to want to see you suffer. I'm not that type of person. You don't deserve it."

"Oh." Vee shut her eyes, too tired to stay awake. "Well... thank you anyways. I appreciate it."

The tissue box paused, her face suddenly felt... warm. Did she— NO. She did not think of Vee in that way at all! Get over yourself!

But then why... why did she feel like this...?

...

"You're welcome, Vee." She mumbled quietly, looking to the door. But Vee was already asleep, unaware of anything that Tisha was saying. Knowing this, she smiled, leaning back. "Maybe you're not as bad as I thought you were..."
