>Caught In A Knot<

"Aha... she's in her lab." Fan said slowly while turning his phone away to look at the others around him. Knife and Baseball met eyes and nodded, "I'll take MePhone and I to have a little talk with her if she knows about Microphones case." Knife them looked at MePhone who got up from the couch and walked to the front door, Knife following after him. Both of them walked out and closed the door behind them, everyone glanced at each other "They could of at least recovered Microphone and Tissues first..." Someone said from the crowd of objects.

Balloon wasn't worrying though, he knew that if they blamed TestTube he wouldn't be on the suspicious list, but what if Taco had TestTube already in her grasp? No, that would be ridiculous!Though while he was thinking Nickel turned around to give a deadly glare at him, "So." He started "Where were you all night Balloon?" "Y- y... yeah!" Bomb chimed in. "I had some errands to sort out!" Balloon tried to make it sound truthful as Nickel scoffed.

Everyone left the lobby to do their own things, loosing interest but only some objects stayed back. Balloon was walking to the kitchen before his phone chimed in his hand, he glanced at it and got a headache once he read the message. 'Meet at the shed tonight, I want another order.' He huffed, replying 'I can't, everyone is thinking I know something about Mics death case. but MePhone and Knife went out so maybe you could get them yourself. I just can't do it tonight.' Balloon sent the message and shut off the phone. He noticed Soap in the kitchen on the phone to someone, she was in some sort of argument, Balloon numbly grabbed a drink from the fridge and went upstairs to his room.

His room was empty since Suitcase was hanging out with Baseball in his room, Balloon closed the door and threw his phone on the bed as he went to the table and sat down with his notebook. His head still ringing as he opened the book to a old drawing of himself surrounded by cacti, the plants had faces and were laughing at him. He took a sip of the beverage and turned to a blank page, he took his pen and started drawing himself and the figure he knew all to well staring at him with his back turned.

Wow, you really are much more smarter then I thought. The monster was on the ceiling above him, its arms outstretched and bent with their hands making it look like they were melting the ceiling.

"Hah, Didn't expect me to actually do it did ya?" Balloon said silently, trying not to let anyone in the hotel hear his conversation. "I have such a desire to see the fear in people eyes... an urge to make them feel that pain they gave me ages ago." Balloon started not to sound like himself, his pressure on the pen getting more harsh with his grasp.

I'm glad you took her deal, my deal was nothing important. But if you ever have other thoughts just give me a call. The monsters black ooze dripping onto the table, it's red and blue particles hovering around itself and Balloon.

"You have no way with words. I thought for someone to be dead would be much wiser then you." Balloon looked up at the monster, it's smile showing every part of its sharp teeth.

I had hoped you'd say that. It flew down the the ground behind Balloon, to which Balloon turned his chair to face it. I am not a 'ghost' I am in fact a uh.. Slave! To the uh... devil basically. I can take any form I want and in this case I take yours! The figure quickly took the form of Suitcase and changed back.

"You... uh..." suddenly the door opened and Suitcase appeared, she looked at Balloon and smiled, walking through the invisible figure and sat on her bed. Balloon, being the only one who could see it gave an eye movement and the figure disappeared.

-Balloon and Suitcase fell asleep later that night, though Balloon was struggling, he feared going into another dream with that thing. The monster was okay to talk to but being in a alternate timeline where it can control anything was disturbing. He heard a noise outside the window and he annoyingly went to go check, he leaned out the window to see a ladder placed right below his window and Taco halfway up it.

"Are you insane!?" Balloon quietly raged at her, Taco just laughed in her accent, "I guess you weren't as predictable as I thought, If your not getting my next order done tonight I'll force you." Taco showed the gun again and waved it around. "You got yourself into this. Not me, now come on!" Taco grabbed Balloon and pulled him out the window, grabbing his hands tightly as the ladder fell to the grass with a thump while both of them floated down softly to the ground.

They landed on their feet and Balloon glared at Taco "I didn't even get my scarf! It's freezing out here!" As he was talking Taco put the ladder behind the tree. "Deal with it honey, it doesn't get any better from here. I saw Knife and MePhone on their way back not to long from here and I though we could grab them since we should save the softest for last." She giggled, sorting out her bow tie.

Balloon new he couldn't get out of this one, but this is what he wanted, he wants to make people feel the same emotions as him back then, the feeling of what they'll do next. He defeatedly turned to Taco and nodded, she forcefully grabbed his wrist and they ran into the forest as OJ just walked outside to check what that noise was.

========================The ending of this chapter might have looked like a ship moment but I do NOT and never will ship Taco x Balloon (Nothing against the people who do have a crackship of that. You do you)

Anyway I hope y'all ready for what's comingggg.
