Description
Previous: Mellis (red) and Crimson (dark red-brown) had ran away from the Meepery in the middle of the night in attempt to find their missing parents. Mellis, who hated life and was depressed all the time, finally accepted Crimson's friendship and promised to help even though he knew it was a lost cause. Soon, they had lost Orangie, Crimson's pet googator, and were chased by a craigwolf to a dark cave, where they had to find a second exit. Crawling out somewhere familiar, they now face what they ran away from.

Quiet Night ~ And suddenly Crimson! ~ No longer a quiet night. ~ Parent issues ~ ~ Sneaking out ~ Break for it ~ Into the woods ~ Cave ~ I think we are lost

~~~

Mellis looked Crimson straight in the eyes, a mischevious grin across his face. They had just escaped their dark prison, both literally and mentally. Mellis, who would normally be a curious and care-free boy, had become uptight and self-restraining due to the orphan care at the meepery. But Crimson, who seemed obnoxious and annoying at first, has shown Mellis that even though he also misses his parents greatly, he can still be happy and energetic most of the time. And after learning this in a series of unfortunate events, Mellis was finally getting a hang of it, and for once, he seemed to be having a good time. But as he opened his eyes, realizing that Crimson was staring at something off in the distance, he saw saw his worst enemy again: that big yellow building full of loud, screaming meeps. His eyebrows dropped, his jaw closed back up, and the corners of his mouth fell into a frown while Crimson was just relieved to find civilization again. Walking up the hill to one of the entrances, none of the other kids seemed to notice the scrapes and dirt patched in their fur, like they had simply went on a walk or weren't even missing at all. What they both feared, however, was that Fern, who seemed to be the master of perfection and memory, would recognize them in a heartbeat.

The two boys huddled close together as they walked nervously through the child-infested halls, listening in on bits and pieces of serval conversations, like "Woah, I forgot that existed!" or "how many of these do you think I can eat before I puke?"; They both kind of missed the solitude of the woods. Mellis couldn't help but overhear something fall in the next room over, followed by a "Hey, watch where you're going!" This in itself was normal, considering the overpopulation of clumsy little jerks, but what really caught his attention was the tiny voice that answered. "I'm... I'm sorry...". And soon the first voice had summoned someone from across the room. It sounded like a serious beating was about to break out, so Mellis stopped in his tracks at the door frame to peer in.

There was a tall meep, yellowish, definitely a boy, based on his voice, and the one he summoned over: a chubby, pink, short, snot-nose kid Mellis couldn't determine the gender of. They were huddled over a little girl, small and skinny, about the same color as the yellow meep, laying on the floor like she was about to crab-walk away. "Oh yeah, I've seen one of these before," the pink kid, who Mellis decided was probably a boy, said. "It's a shovel-nosed gimple baby." "Oh yeah I've heard of those," the yellow boy said proudly. Looking at the girl he added, "What's your name, pimple baby?" Mellis watched as the girl registered she was an easy target. Her eyebrows lowered to a scowl, but she couldn't help that her eyes were starting to water. Wanting to be strong, but lacking the courage, she answered, "Chrystalle?" "Crystal?," the yellow boy asked, deliberately changing the pronunciation. They looked like they could easily be brother and sister, but if that were the case, why didn't they recognize each other? All of this, Mellis thought, was fine, until he blurted quite loudly "MORE LIKE CRISIS!"

As the girls tears puddled up at the corner of her eye, her crying was promptly stopped up by an interupting Mellis, from the doorway. "What the heck do you think you're doing," he shouted, enraged. He was strong enough and honestly didn't care if someone picked on him, and would usually fight back or walk away, but he definitely can't stand when others pick on random kids that didn't do anything to deserve it. But, before he could step in, Crimson grabbed hin by the shoulder. Talking into his ear, hoping that only Mellis would hear him, he said, "We shouldn't get involved, Mellis. You know things like this happen all the time, and we really need to get out of hear before-" "Heh-hem," Fern scowled, towering over them. "I've been looking for you two EVERYWHERE." He seemed mad. Genuinely upset. But something else caught his attention. "Aw, is she gonna cry?" the pink boy teased. "SHE?" responded the yellow. "IT doesn't even look like a meep!" At this, smoke was practically rolling out of both Mellis and Fern's ears. Knowing he shouldn't step in now, for the fear of getting in trouble, Mellis let Fern shove past and grab the boy by the scruff, just before the first tear fell from the girl's left eye. It was the slightest bit of relief to both him and her that the bully hadn't seen it. Fern stormed, arguing with the child about what bullying was, grabbed the pink boy's ear and drug them both away, around the corner, toward his office. Mellis looked back down at the girl, now scooping up her only belonging with tears now dampening her cheek. It was a smalled stuffed toy, green and worn with time.

"Come ON, Mellis!" Crimson pleaded, pulling on his arm though he wouldn't budge. Mellis just stared, reflection in his eyes, his heart pounding and ears ringing slightly. He sighed. "You found me and took me in. Gave me a chance even though I didn't deserve it. Now we've found her, a helpless girl with potential, if she only had the friends," he said, poetically. Crimson hadn't even thought anything of it. He had just found some silent kid in a back room staring out the window. He guessed it meant more to Mellis than it did him. He stood in the hall and watched as Mellis approached the girl, trying to come in at the right moment, giving himself time to look for words. His arms were raised, protecting his chest, a sign of defense and intimidation. Sticking out his hand either to help her up or for a gentlemanly handshake, whichever she took it as, he told her not to listen to the jerks who have no self confidence to go do something better with their pathetic lives. Then, before he could introduce himself, she stood up quickly, blurting "But he's right! I'm not good enough at anything! I'm always in the way, I have no friends, I'm of no use, I'm not normal, and I'm not pretty!" Untrained in lady-talk, Mellis grabbed the first response that came to his head. Grabbing her arm before she could run away, and randomly nicknaming her "Crissi," he almost accidentally called her beautiful, even though they had just met. She was too naive to notice, but at least stopped to listen. He tried to save it by changing the word, Crimson snickering in the background, like "Smooth dude."

Mellis stammered, slaughtering his words before they were spoken. "Bea.... Be.... Beh....? Buh.........." Suddenly his pupils shrank as he noticed he was still holding her hand. She watched his gaze, but still didn't seem to think anything of it. He dropped it immediately and in a sweat turned his "That's not true, Crissi, I think you're beautiful," to "That's not true, Crissi, I think you're Butter Colored?"

Sorry lol
Ugh

BEEBASAUR: I think the next part shouldn't involve Crissi at all. Do something along the lines of Crimson and Mellis are in Fern's office, sweating as he comes to give em a talk. Maybe they should be punished. Idk. I just think Crissi needs a break for a second.
