Chapter Text
The last thing Mephone expected when he walked away with 3GS was for a contestant to follow him.
Trust him, he didn’t want to leave. He really, really didn’t. Stepping away from his beloved creations hurt him.
Though, he supposed they aren’t his creations anymore, huh? They all are… their own people.
So when he seemingly tripped on air and almost landed on his already cracked face and heard a familiar Autralian accent, he didn’t believe it.
He truly didn’t believe it.
“Ow- hey! Watch where your stepping mate. Wouldn’t wanna walk all over me, eh?”
The sight of The Floor’s cheeky grin staring up at him almost sent him into a spiral. It took a moment for his mind to catch up with his eyes, resulting in some awkward eye contact.
“Hey, Mephone, you alr-”
“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be… partying?”
Mephone didn’t mean to sound rude, he just really, really did not want to face any of the contestants anymore. Especially not the ones he exclusively treated like shit.
“Yeah, bout that. Thought I could tag along with you! That’s a’right with you, right Mephone?” Floory’s genuine smile caught Mephone way off guard.
Why would any of them want to be with him?
Why would anyone want to be with him.
“But… why?”
He was genuinely curious. And confused.
Curfused, if you will.
“Uhh, didya forget? I’m your cohost! Gotta stick by your side!”
Floory let out a sarcastic gasp, before continuing.
“Mephone, don’t tell me our time on Season 3 meant nothing to you! Ugh, I’m truly hurt.”
Mephone honestly wanted to wipe that shit eating grin right off the green man’s face.
Not like that though.
Not in a gay way.
Mephone shrugged.
“Fine, do whatever you want. Just… if you’re with us, then you’re with us, got it?”
“Sure mate! Cheers to new adventure!”
God, he was infuriating. Whatever.

They continued their trek before meeting the edge of the island.
Instinctively, Mephone tried to generate a boat, which only ended in him getting odd stares from both Floory and 3GS.
“I suggest we head to Meeple! They have plenty of leftover supplies there that could help us on our journey!” 3GS spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.
Mephone shuddered at the thought of going anywhere near Meeple, but nonetheless, he gave 3GS a shaky thumbs up in response.
“How are we gonna get there?” Came Floory’s response. “Isn’t Meeple like… in the sky?”
“Yeah, it is. Incredibly inconvenient to get to.” Mephone snarked back.
“Well, your hot-air balloon came back when everything else did, right? Let’s use those!”
At the weird look The Floor was given, he deadpanned, “I’ve watched Season 2 mate.”
“Let us go!” 3GS took the lead, and Mephone trailed behind with Floory talking his ear off.
