"Dear, Diary

From the last two entries, you can tell things are not going how I wanted the end of the year to go. And I know I'm about to break the promise I told you, but I have to talk about Socks again. He has me very worried at the moment. He's been acting a lot nicer than usual, like he hasn't even been teasing us like he usually does. And let's be honest, I think we all miss that. It brought positive feelings and everyone would laugh, even the person being teased (Usually me for having you know who). Now though, he's very protective of everyone. He makes sure there is nothing we can trip or slip on, he never acted this way before. If anything, Meme sorta did that. Another thing I want to talk about, we've been running out of drinks super quickly. And it's not just because a ton of people stay here, no. We've been running out of drinks in 2 days flat. And whoever is drinking them, they haven't even been throwing them out. Woolf got a pack of water bottles from the village two days ago. They were all gone today. Nothing in the trash or recycling. Just gone. Actually, speaking of gone, Socks hasn't turned evil or whatever ever since he started staying here again. I'm not sure if it's gone for good tho. We haven't been making him mad, so we can't tell. Anyways, Laff has been making a ton of Laff Loafs >:P, and I don't know why. I guess he's been on a grind. I'm not happy about this bc
-1. Laff Loafs Suck
-2. Where are we putting them?
This is all I have for now. See you next time! (If I'm still alive)

-Nadwe"

Nadwe had just finished writing in his diary for the day when he decided to see where everyone was at. He walked out the door and looked around, and here is what he saw. He saw Laff bringing even more Laff Loafs, TBH running to go get them, Socks, Blaza and Meme talking with each other, Woolf and Dino talking about ways they can get more armor and resources and Oompa was leaving to get more drinks. He decided to go help TBH with the Laff Loafs, since he looked like he needed the help. Nadwe ran over to him and picked up as much as he could, and tried to spike up some conversation.

"Hey TBH!"

"Oh, hey Nadwe! What's up?"

"Nothing much. How are you doing?"

"I've been fine!"

He said this a bit quickly and bitterly, as if wanting to talk about another subject. Nadwe obviously noticed this and said,

"Come on.. I know something's off. I can hear it in your voice."

"Seriously, I'm fine!"

Tbh added a nervous chuckle at the end trying to fake a real one. Nadwe then made puppy-dog eyes and stared right at him.

"Come onnnn Tb! You can tell meee! Pweeeeeeeeeeeeze?"

"Alright, alright.. *chuckle* you got me."

Nadwe knew that would work. It works every time. It's one of the things he can do to the adults that was too cute to not say yes. It's also one of the things that annoys them so much that they have to say yes.

"So? What's going on?!"

Nadwe nudged Tbh on the shoulder, making him almost drop all the Laff Loafs that were in his arms. He glared at Nadwe, making him smile nervously. Tbh then sighed, and said,

"It's- it's Socks. I'm just so nervous that he might just.. that he could.. just kill us all!"

"Yeah.. I know how you feel. I feel the same way."

"Oh, I thought I was the only one who felt like that.. it's nice to know that someone else feels the same as me."

"Are you kidding!? How wouldn't we be scared? He's already killed one of us, and who knows if it's really gone."

They stayed silent the rest of the way until they got to the chests, which is where they put the Laff Loafs. When they got back, a whole new scene had unfolded. Everyone was staring or trying to help out the scene. Socks and Meme had gotten into a fight, and were arguing about something. How did this all happen so flipping quickly?!

"Yeah.. Why are we running out of drinks so quickly?"

"I haven't noticed it. To be honest, I haven't been super thirsty lately.."

"How have you not noticed it?"

"Well if I haven't been getting any drinks, then how would I know?"

"Well, when did you last get a drink anyways?"

"..."

"Socks?"

"What?"

"When did you last get a drink?"

"Uhmm.. I think about four days ago? At least that I remember."

"HOW THE HECK ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!"

"And that right there is why I didn't answer the first time, Meme. I have no idea."

"That is very concerning. But you know what else is concerning? You haven't been getting mad or going crazy ever since you came back to the base."

"You are right.. that is really concerning.."

Meme then paused, but then muttered,

"I really miss Muffin right now.."

Socks heard that and gave him a small glare. But he then dismissed his hint of anger and concurred by saying,

"Yeah.. we all do."

This is when Blaza came over. He saw the two had a grieving look in their eyes and tried to lighten the mood a bit.

"Hey! What's up! Banana man in the house!!"

He said this in a weird voice, attempting to get a laugh out of them.

"Oh, what's up Blaza!"

"Nothin much.. just woke up about an hour ago. How are you doing Spaceman?"

"I've been fine!"

"What about you Cookie Monster?"

"I've told you before this isn't a Cookie Monster suit.. but I've been fine too!"

"Well then, what is the suit?"

"It's.. a-"

Meme couldn't think of something so he just admitted it was a Cookie Monster suit. Socks then said,

"And now that you've admitted that, now you got to admit that your medical degree is fake."

"You take that back right now Socksfor1.."

"Alright, alright.. whatever. It's not like you fight over something that doesn't exist.."

"IT DOES EXIST ALRIGHT?!"

"Then why couldn't you even make medicine? Even I could do that! The crafting recipe is as simple as making wooden planks."

"Because I wasn't using a crafting bench.. I was using a MACHINE."

Blaza was just standing right next to this. Instead of making the mood brighter, he made it darker.

"Ok, Meme.. it was a joke from Socks.. alright? And Socks, we don't need any drama starting from a joke. Let's just drop it.. deal?"

"No! That isn't a deal! He has done this way too many times!"

"Well, if you are a doctor, then why didn't you resurrect Muffin with the scanner? Or more than that, why haven't you cured me?"

"First of all. You ate Muffin.. and you have to have some form of DNA to resurrect someone. And secondly, I have no idea HOW TO CURE YOU. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE."

"WELL MAYBE IF I DIDN'T HAVE A CERTAIN MEDICINE, THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED MUFFIN!"

At this point, some of the people who were standing around near the scene came over to help keep them from getting physical. Meme had no comeback to Socks's remark though. His main instinct would be to just turn his back on Socks, which he was about to do. But Socks had more to say.

"AND IF YOU WEREN'T EXPERIMENTING WITH MEDICINE, AND YOU DIDN'T GET DROWSY, THEN THIS COULD ALL BE AVOIDED! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THE STUPID, I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. YOUR STUPID, FAKE MEDICAL DEGREE!"

"You and TBH were the ones who went on the stupid mission.."

"DON'T YOU DRAG TB INTO THIS!"

That is when Tbh and Nadwe got back from delivering the Laff Loafs. When the two saw what was going on, they immediately rushed over. Tbh intervened,

"What the heck is going on over here?!"

When the two heard TBH's voice, they both stormed off in opposite directions.

"Well that was short lived.."

Nadwe deadpanned. Socks and Meme stayed away from each other the rest of the day.

_______________________________

It was starting to get late, and everyone was still at the base. They all decided to stay the night there, and Blaza was okay with it. Throughout the day, Socks and Meme made up with each other as well.

"Well, I think it's time we get to bed.. it's almost 11:30.."

"Alright! Sounds like a plan. If I don't die, see you all in the morning!"

That had been the new 'Good Night!' or 'Goodbye!' for a while now. Ever since the night they got back to the base. Everyone went to bed and slept through the night peacefully. Ìñ 9I3€3$

"What the heck is that noise?"

The sound of crumpling plastic was heard from another room. He turned and looked at the time. It was 2:56 in the morning. How and why is someone up this late?! He tried as best as he could to open his door gently, which was pretty hard to do because of his crab claws. He went to the room that seemed to be making noise, and it was Socks' room. The door was slightly open, and he peeked in. He tried to be as quiet as he could so whoever was in there didn't know he was there. In the room he saw Socks drinking a ton of water bottles. But it wasn't the normal Socks. His eyes were black once again, and he had tentacles coming from his back once more. So that's where all the drinks went. One thing he noticed was that everytime Socks finished a bottle, his tentacles got longer. He also shoved each one under the bed afterwards. When he was fully done, he practically drank a quarter of the pack. How is it possible to drink that much water?! Socks then yawned and sleepily got back into his bed and fell asleep. Tbh was very confused about what just happened. But he thought he would answer those questions tomorrow.
