Battle For Dream Island: Tales of Mobius

Chapter 13: Secrets of the 8names

Summary:

Book and Icy are chilling in Book's house, some of their friends are coming over for the night.

Chapter Text

Book’s house, The night of Robotnik’s attack

During the night of Robotnik’s attack, Book and Icy were watching TV, specifically they were watching Icy’s favourite show.

“This ain’t Apple Juice!” (Laugh track)

Ice Cube: Haha, please get revenge on him for lying to you.

Book was reading her book, specifically the part on comedy.

Book: Well, I guess not everyone finds the exact same things funny.

Ice cube: Wha? You don’t find this funny?

Book: Well, I mean there are more educational programs we can watch.

Ice Cube: Come on, we need to lighten the mood in these dark times, plus the next episode is coming up.

Book: Oh, I guess you’re right.

Suddenly, Book’s phone began ringing, she picked it up to see who was ringing, it was Bubble.

Book answered the phone and she was worried if Bubble was going through some hard times at the moment.

Book: oh, hi Bubble.

Bubble: Hello Book, I’m at Ruby’s mansion with the rest of Iance.

Book: Oh, that other friend group Pencil started?

Bubble: Yes, I’m calling you to make sure if we’re still friends.

Book: Oh, don’t be silly Bubble, of course we’re still friends.

Suddenly, another voice was heard across the phone.

Fanny: Oh, that’s good to know, you don’t want to know what Pencil did to me a few minutes ago.

Suddenly, Book got worried upon hearing that.

Book: Wait? What did she do to you?

Fanny: She used Lightning to electrocute me! The pain was something you don’t want to imagine.

Book was left speechless upon hearing that, was Pencil really this awful?

Book: She, she couldn’t? She’s a monster!

Fanny: Exactly what I’m saying, I Hate Pencil!

Ice Cube stopped watching the TV and spoke up.

Ice Cube: I Want Revenge!

Bubble: anyways, we have a party to continue.

Book: Oh, bye friends, enjoy your party.

Fanny: We’ll be staying away from Pencil tonight.

The call ended and Book was really happy with Bubble.

Book: I appreciate the fact that Bubble is standing up for herself.

Ice Cube: Yeah:)

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Book: Ohhhhhhhh, our friend groups here.

Book opened the door(Somebody Stop Me, get out of here The Mask, nobody will giggity Lois today) and there stood six people, two of whom we already met.

Teardrop: waves.

Book: Hi TD, so glad you could come over.

Lollipop: Hey there Book, you seemed to have abandoned that “respectful non homophobic cheetah”, that was sarcasm if you couldn’t tell(I don’t know how to write sarcasm yet, so I will include quotation marks)

Book: I could tell it was sarcasm, I was her pawn for a while.

Now for the other four people there, who were all female.

The first was a Trout with tan scales, green fins, a tan t-shirt, red gloves, black shoes with some dead fish on them(Ironic), a grayish-blue tail, earrings with one being shaped like a tomato and the other being shaped like lettuce, yellow eyes and a cute green hat, her nickname was Taco.

The second was a Porcupine with grey fur and quills, a pink bow tie on her head which looked like a saw's handle, a silver muzzle, a brown sweater which said EIGHT! gloves with spikes on them, shoes which also had spikes on them, a tail which was filled with extra sharp quills, pink eyes and a bad habit of yelling eight, her nickname was Saw and despite that name and her sharp appearance, she's a real sweetheart.

The third was a Raven with white feathers, brown feathers which looked like hair at the top of her head, an outfit that looked like Dora The Explorer, grey eyes and some weird way of talking, her name was Dora.

Lastly, the fourth was a Frog with periwinkle skin, a periwinkle long sleeved shirt which covered her arms with yellow stripes and a smiley face, a brown bandana with multiple points on her head, purple slippers, brown eyes, yellow spots on her body and a shark plush she would sleep with, her nickname was Gaty.

Book: Hello friends, so glad you could come over.

Saw: Yeah, I can’t wEIGHT to get this started.

Ice Cube: still haven’t gotten that eight situation fixed yet.

Gaty: Sorry, she’s trying her best, but without that plant she’ll be stuck like this.

Suddenly, Book had an idea and an imaginary lightbulb(OMGA) appeared over her head.

Book: Wait, I think I have the plant that can get rid of those fumes.

Lollipop: Please give it to her, I can't stand that constant yelling.

Saw: yeah, i hEIGHT this too, just give me the plant already.

Book: Alright, here you go Saw.

Book gave Saw a pink flower which she sniffed and after breathing it out, black fumes left her nose.

Saw: *Sighs* This is great.

Gaty: Woah, it’s gone now! Thanks Book.

Book: No problem Gaty, now let’s head to the living room.

In the living room

8names, which was the name of their friend group because Lollipop thought it was funny, were all sitting by the couch, they were getting ready to watch a movie, however, they decided to spend some time by asking some questions.

Lollipop: Say, what is your darkest secret?

Dora: DADADADADADADADADADA!

Taco: Oh, she’s needing some air to breathe at the moment.

Lollipop: Care to give me some air? No straw needed:)

Slaps

Book: Lolli!

Lollipop: Well, my darkest secret is I’m a lesbian.

Radio Silence

Gaty: That’s not that big of a deal, in an alternate universe maybe it would be weird, but not in this universe.

Lollipop: Oh, well then I’ll reveal my actual darkest secret, let’s turn off the lights for this story.

Suddenly, the lights were off and some candles were lit up to frighten the mood.

Lollipop: It all began a year ago…

One year ago, Lollipop’s mansion

Lollipop: It was the Halloween night, I was growing out of it to say the least, I was trying to find a girlfriend who didn’t only like me because of my mansion, and yes I work at Gelatin’s Steak House because he has a very good paycheck for some reason, and I was feeling annoyed at the trick or treaters coming to my house, I often just told my butlers to do it, but this year I had an idea.

Ding Dong!

Butler: Mrs Venom? I think another trick or treater is here.

Lollipop: Oh, you don’t need to get it, I have an idea.

Lollipop walked out of her room and showed her halloween costume, her scales were painted black, had a bunch of fake blood on her suit, really big fake fangs, and red eyes.

Butler: Sweet Aurora Lady, you look terrifying.

Lollipop: Yes, I know, this will teach those kids from knocking on my door.

She opened the door and there was a grey llama in a hencheman costume(The Mobian version of Minions), this was Rocky.

Rocky was usually with Balloony or Cloudy, but this halloween he was trick or treating with his good friend Grassy, who was at another house at the moment.

Rocky: Hmm?

Suddenly, the door opened on its own and Rocky was left confused, until.

Hissssssssssssssssssssssss

Lollipop: Oh Rocky, you came to the wrong house tonight.

Rocky: ?

Suddenly, Lollipop would jump up after coiling herself to where she looked like a hose, while making a very loud hissing noise. Rocky was terrified by this, Lolli’s gamble worked, it worked a little too well.

Rocky was so terrified that he-

Rocky: BLEH!

Lollipop: Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, get this off me, did I seriously go overboard?

Rocky: Hm! ^u^

Back to the present

Book: Did you regret doing that?

Lollipop: Yep, because I got puked on.

Book: Of course that’s why you’re mad.

Lollipop: Right, who’s next?

Book: If you don’t mind, I don’t want to play this game.

Dora: DADADADADADADADADADA!

Teardrop: *Nods*

Gaty: Yeah, sit me out too.

Lollipop: So, you other three want to play?

Taco, Saw and Icy: Yep.

Lollipop: Well, I’m going to let Saw go next.

Saw: Alright, I’ll explain that time I went to the doctor after my eight issues started.

A couple months ago

Saw was visiting the hospital, since she needed to find out what the heck was up with her issues randomly saying eight.

Dr Quack: Alright young lady, it seems you have caught the 8 fumes.

Saw: What’s that supposed to mean?

Dr Quack: Do you recall sucking up anything before you got these?

Saw: Well, I was out leaping in the fields when I stumbled upon a black flower, I sniffed it because I was interested in what it smelled like.

Dr Quack: Alright, what happened after you smelled the flower?

Saw: Well, the next day was graduation day, it was my grades last day of school before we could move out into the big world, naturally I was asked questions, but for some reason I kept saying eight.

Dr Quack: Oh, you have the fumes alright.

Saw: I was made fun of by many of the bullies, it wasn't that great of a day.

Saw looked extra worried as she was worried that the fumes would return, she then asked Dr Quack a question.

Saw: Say, when do the effects of the fumes stop?

Dr Quack: When you smell this specific flower, though it's quite rare these days.

Saw: And if there were none left, how long would the effects of the fumes last?

Dr Quack then started gaining a bit of a more happy expression.

Dr Quack: Forever.

Saw: What! I can’t live my life with this, I’m only eight, Fuck it’s back!

Dr Quack: Relax, I can give you some medicine.

Saw: Really?

Dr Quack: Yep, though it may have some side effects.

Saw: I don’t care, I can’t stand eight anymore.

Dr Quack: Well, I’ll get it.

Dr Quack then gave Saw the medicine, she drank it up as soon as she had the chance.

Dr Quack: So, do you feel any better?

Saw: Yeah, in fact I feel gEight!

Saw yelled out eight and some of her quills were sent flying, one of which flew into Dr Quack's eye.

Dr Quack: Ow, oh yeah that’s the side effects.

Saw: Well, Shit.

Back to the present

Saw: Thank Aurora that’s over now, I’m sorry if my quills hurt any of you.

Dora: DADADADADADADADADA!

Teardrop: *Thumbs up*

Book: It’s ok, now let’s let Taco explain her dark secret next.

Taco: Yeah, I’ll tell you about the time I was trapped in the jawbreaker.

A couple years ago

Taco was out visiting Candy Valley with some other people, they were here for some sight seeing, specifically she was with a yellow crocodile and a white-blue narwhal.

Crocodile: So, this must be where all those kids get their diabetes.

Taco: Trophy, knock it off.

Trophy: What? Am I not allowed to tell jokes?

Narwhal: Come on, I thought it was funny.

Taco: Your sense of humor is the same amount of cruelty as Trophy’s Jack.

Jack: Why do you have to be such a Party Pooper?

Taco: I’m not, I just don’t find your jokes funny.

Trophy: Wuss.

The trio kept walking until they stumbled upon some big jawbreakers.

Taco: Ohhhhhhhh, that looks tasty.

Trophy: How to get diabetes 101.

Taco: Says the one who’d most likely eat this stuff.

Jack: Aurora, the other Taco was more tolerable than this.

Taco: The heck you said to me?

Trophy: Look, I don’t know why you’re hanging out with us at this moment, why aren’t you hanging out with your friends?

Taco: That’s because I have no friends.

Then there was a moment of silence for the next few seconds, until Jack just had to laugh at the fact that Taco was lonely.

Jack: HAHA! I didn’t know you give people diarrhoea since you’re being sold by Taco Bell.

Taco: You’re not funny Jack, neither are you Trophy>:(

Trophy and Jack looked pissed after Taco called them out on this, in fact they were getting absolutely livid, they were thinking just because her nickname is Taco doesn't mean she’s like an actual taco. 

Taco was now standing on top of one the jawbreakers, which was a terrible mistake.

Taco: Ok, maybe for you it’s funny but do you not consider how a person might feel when you try to objectify them? I don’t care if it was a joke, it wasen’t funny in the slighte-

Crack!

Taco: Oh Fuck, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The jawbreaker cracked and Taco fell into it.

Taco: Uh, hello, can somebody help me.

Trophy and Jack were just standing there and had evil grins.

Trophy: Maybe somebody will, but not us.

Jack: Yeah, we’re outta here.

Trophy and Jack then left Taco, leaving her trapped in the jawbreaker. She wasn't happy about this to say the least.

Taco: What? You’re abandoning me for your selfishness? Why did I even hang out with you bastards in the first place!

Eventually, somebody did find Taco and let her out, it was Book. Taco then joined Book’s friend group apart from Iance(At the time) and the two became closer ever since.

Back to the present

Book: Wait, you were abandoned.

Taco: Yep, those dickheads just left me behind for no reason.

Saw: At least it led you to meeting us, and we’re much closer than those asshats.

Taco: Yeah, anyways Icy, now it’s your turn.

Ice Cube: Ok, this story just happened today.

Book could feel a sense of dread coming into her head, she knew where Icy was going with this.

Book: Oh, oh no.

Ice Cube: It’s about my biggest fan:)

After explaining the Bracelety incident

Once Icy was done with that story, the others apart from Book were left speechless.

Ice Cube: So yeah, if that annoying creature were to come back, I will show her my revenge>:)

However, TD was looking at the window and saw a cyan seal.

They looked exactly like how Ice Cube described Bracelety.

TD: *Points to the window with a worried expression*

Ice Cube: Wha?

*CRASH + GLASS SHATTER + thud*

The immediate hug to Icy and the voice confirmed this was Bracelety.

Bracelety: YAY! TIME TO HANG OUT WITH ICY

Ice Cube: No!

Bracelety: D:)

It was at this moment when Bracelety’s expression changed to one of shock.

Bracelety: What? But, I love you Icy, you’re my idol.

Oh boy, Icy was not happy with the presence of this fangirl.

Ice Cube: You’re my idol huh? Well then, you follow me around everywhere, even when I sleep, you try to ask where I live and somehow tracked down where Book lived and knew I was there, somehow know my full legal name, I have something to say to you.

Bracelety’s expression was getting to one of concern.

Ice Cube: You are an annoying little stalker.

Bracelety: I’m not a stalker, you’re the greatest person ever! Even greater than Aurora herself. I love you Ice Cube.

Ice Cube: And I’m going to say this right here, do you know why you won’t be in this group?

Bracelety was getting so worried now, she was shivering in fear on what her idol would say.

Ice Cube: I. HATE. YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>:(

It was at this moment that Bracelety was so heartbroken she cried.

Bracelety(Crying): HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO BE ICE CUBE? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ice Cube: And if your voice wasn't annoying enough, your cries are the worst things I’ve ever heard since anything ever!

This only made the poor seal cry more, she cried so much that it seemed like the room was filling with water.

Ice Cube: Get out! I don’t want to see you’re face EVER FUCKING AGAIN>:(

Bracelety: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! ICE CUBE! YOU DESERVE ETERNAL TOURMENT!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU’RE ROBOTNIK’S NEXT TARGET!

Bracelety went running out of Book’s house crying, the others members of 8names were left standing there in complete horror, especially Book.

Book:.....................................................Ice Cub- no, Issabela.

Icy stood there with a horrified expression, since her real name was called, it was bound to get serious.

Ice Cube: What Brooke?

Book: You, you didn’t have to scare her off like that, I know that you were mad, but that was way too far. Imagine somebody meeting their idol only to find out they hate them! They're probably gonna hate their idol too.

Icy stayed silent for a few seconds, until she finally spoke up.

Ice Cube: I, oh Aurora! Did, did I just ruin her life?

Ice Cube then ran into a corner and started to cry a bit.

Book: Wait Icy, you can apologise, maybe invite her into 8names, which I guess now would be 9names.

Ice Cube: I think it’s too late. She’s likely running off back home now and no amount of apology will make her feel better.

Icy then said something that made Book shocked.

Ice Cube: Book, please kick me out of 8names.

Book: WHAT? NO!

Ice Cube: Yeah I kinda expected tha-wait what?

Book: I’m not kicking you out, we’ve known each other for years on end, I know you didn’t intend to say that, you were just caught in the moment, plus if I kicked you, I’d be no better than Pencil.

Ice Cube then hugged Book with her wings and the other six were just watching the situation unfold.

Gaty: You know Book, I think you should be in charge of 8names.

Book: Wait? What?

Teardrop: *Thumbs Up*

Taco: The fact you didn’t kick Icy out shows you care about us.

Book: Yeah but, what if I become another Pencil?

Saw: Come on, you won’t.

Book: Maybe you’re right, but instead of a fascist I become a communist.

Gaty: Calm down Book, stop being so worried, you won’t be like Queen Pencil, in fact, I think a more fitting title would be, President.

Book: Wait, me as 8names’ President? Hmm, President Book has a nice ring to it.

Suddenly, Lollipop spoke up.

Lollipop: Hang on, if anyone’s going to be president of this group, it’s me.

Taco: Lolli, you already have a mansion, you’re ego’s bigger then Jupiter.

Lollipop: Oh Taco, Shut Up!

Ice Cube: Yeah, I think I like Book more. What do you say Book?

Book: Well, uhm…….as much as I appreciate the offer, no thank you. I’m already in another friend group, and I don’t think I’m ready yet.

Ice Cube: It’s Ok, we’ll give you time to think about it.

Dora: DADADADADADADADADADADA!

Book: Oh, the movie is starting.

Saw: Great, let’s enjoy this night together.

Suddenly, Dictionary came out of his room.

Dictionary: Shut Up! I’m trying to sleep!
Lollipop: Oh, “I so deeply apologise” Dick.

Dictionary: Be quiet you poisonous bitch.

Lollipop: I am venomous, not poisonous.

Book: Let’s just watch the movie.

8names then spent the rest of the night watching the movie, they all fell asleep on the couch and when Longclaw returned, she gave Book a kiss on the forehead before heading to bed herself, she would explain to everyone the news that Sonic defeated Robotnik in Scrap Brain zone tomorrow.

 

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeboi it’s here! Since it’s the spooky month, the next chapter will be a Halloween special, and all I can say about that is.

 

Fun is Infinite:)

 

Dr. Quack is from Archie BTW.
