[Prologue - Vee] 'I think I'm the only one left.' ... 'I... know I'm the only one left.' Vee peeked through the door gingerly, staring at Brightney laying on the floor, her lightbulb flickering, lifeless. 'That stupid flower... Why did he let it get THIS BAD?! HE COULD HAVE STOPPED IT!' She slammed the door shut and dropped to the floor. "HE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!" she screamed, not even caring if any twisted heard her anymore. Actually, she didn't care if she became twisted herself. It'd get rid of the agony at least. She collected herself again and sighed, shaking. 'Well, yelling about it isn't going to do anything..' She stood up and went back to the door. *BANG* Vee turned to the door. "Huh?" *BANG* *BANG* She ran to the door and looked through the square window. "SPROUT-??" She quickly opened the door and Sprout and Shelly came in. "Yeah.." Sprout muttered, clutching his arm. Actually, more like what was left of his arm. Vee, without thinking, hugged them both. "Oh-!" Shelly said. "You.. um.. okay, Vee?" "I thought everyone was DEAD! OF COURSE NOT!" "We heard you yelling for some reason and went towards it." Sprout charily hugged her back. "I mean, I thought you were dying, but I guess not." After about 20 seconds of silence, Vee let them go. "You guys probably need to treat your injuries. I have a few medkits and bandages you can use." She motioned to a box labeled 'fragile'. "Th-Thanks Vee.." Shelly replied, heading towards the box. Vee just nodded. "Sprout?" Vee lightly kicked Sprout, who was asleep against a wall. "Hm-?" He opened one eye and glared up at her. "What?" "We need to treat your literal RIPPED OFF arm." "It's fine." he shot back. Shelly sighed. "Sprout, no it's not. Vee has plenty of medkits, using one for yourself isn't going to hurt anyone." "Exactly." Vee agreed, pulling a bandage out of the medkit. "Just stay still for a moment." Sprout huffed and let the TV fix up his arm begrudgingly. "So.." Shelly stammered. "Wh-What are we going to do now..? How do we fix the twisteds?" Vee finished up tying the bandage. "I- I think I have something that could work.." She paused for a moment. "But it'd be pretty hard to do.." "Well, if it's possible, then we should try it at least!" Sprout got up. "What is it??" "Well, I could, in theory, transfer everyone's consciousnesses to my system, then they could live in there." Vee explained, fidgeting with her bowtie. "I could make an exact replica of Gardenview, minus the whole ichor operation stuff." "How do we do that then..?" Shelly popped a candy into her mouth. "I'd need a bit of DNA from everyone." She sighed. "Buuut, since we can't get to the top floor with the toon rooms, that'll be much easier said than done." "Well, we basically have our own DNA already, so that's a start, I guess." Sprout looked out the window of the door. "Do we just need to get stuff they've touched or something?" Vee nodded. "Yup." Shelly smiled cheerlessly. "Might as well get started."
