Instructions

“They’re… flirting!!” Gigi whispered to finn Connie came Sprout grabbed Bassie’s shoulders “ It isn't your fault all of this happened” Her eyes teared up “ I'm the one who found Cosmo! If i.. If i just left none of this would've happened !” “ If only I didn't drag you into this Bassie. If anyone's at fault… It's me. And please, don't be mad at yourself because of him” He lets her go of his arms and looks around the elevator “He's probably happier now.. Maybe with Ginger” Sprout tries to get himself to laugh “ He's Probably still teaching her how to bake correctly” He says while chuckling but also tearing up “ its none of my business whats going on between you two but if i know one thing is that none of you are at fault for all this, we all got dragged into it” Gigi said sincerely The elevator started to shake They all started to nervously look around but then the elevator opened The seasonal room Bassie liked this one better, there were always so many flowers, so much space to sit and enjoy the view. It calmed her down Sprout notices her “ I think.. We should stay here for a bit.” He proposes “B-but wouldn't Vee mind?..” “ nah she could just deal with it.. Hahah” Gigi was whispering to Connie and Finn And they all nodded “ Hey we’ll go see if we find something and you twoooo can go on a date” Gigi sarcastically shouts Gigi, Connie and Finn walked down to the grass area While Bassie and Sprout were both flustered “Uhm.. I guess we should use this time?” Sprout exclaimed She turned to him “Mhm” She walked up to her favorite spot The floor was really high up and she enjoyed staying at the top Sprout was following Bassie went When Bassie reached the spot, She had forgotten how beautiful this floor was and It almost calmed her down instantly Sprout noticed and smiled He needed to keep up his act of being fine He didn't want to keep worrying Bassie He leaned his arms on the edge of the short wall “ It's.. Pretty up here” He whispers while looking at her Gigi and Connie didn’t leave them alone and were watching them Finn wandered off exploring the map For about 15 minutes they were standing there until Bassie began walking away Sprout didn't ask and just followed “ I might want to press some flowers.. Its been a while “ Bassie says As she sprints off “ Oh ok!” Sprout shouts trying to make her hear him She reaches her favorite spot for flowers All the flowers were still somehow alive Well she hadn't watered them in about a week “ The flowers are just trying to survive… like us” She picked the ones that are the best She tried picking the old and wilted flowers out of her head but she couldn’t reach it Sprout realized and went to pick it for her “ These are still pretty.. I-i mean all of its pretty on-” He did not finish his sentence Sprout was slowly picking up the flowers the chose and planting it in her head “ Do you water the flowers in your head?” he asked “ A bit so it won't be heavy” she tried so hard to not get flustered “ Alright! Ill go see if i find water anywhere” As he walked away the sound of scratching noises coming from the blue door kept getting louder and louder If the door was locked.. Whatever in there couldn't escape right..? When Sprout came back the sound had increased so much to where it sounded as if the door was gonna burst open “ I think.. We should get out of here” he nervously mumbles “ We were told.. To never go near that door, I’m pretty sure that's Delilah's room” She stuttered Bassie grabbed her arm and folded up her legs “Im.. glad i never saw her again.. I could tell she never enjoyed me being the main” He watered the flowers a bit and put it down so he can sit next to her “Cocoa, right?” She nodded “ I think we should move away from here.. We don't know whats in that room” Sprout mumbled as the scratching sounds got louder When it got to a certain point, he grabbed her hand and ran for it When he spotted Gigi, Connie and Finn “ FOLLOW US! THERE'S SOMETHING IN A ROOM AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IF WE DO KNOW ONE THING IS THAT ITS GONNA ESCAPE” They all turned to each other and started sprinting with them They hid behind the shelf of plushies and waited for something to happen Nothing did for a few minutes then the sound of something falling was heard Something was walking out… and it was exactly what they feared It was like a human.. But almost 10 feet tall Sprout knew what it was.. But how- how would Delilah stay alive here for years?! Its been three years since gardenview shut down?! And now we know she never left? Her hair was almost as long as her but it had Ichor on the edges After a bit when she reached the other side of the floor “ Follow me “ Sprout whispered He grabbed Bassie's hand and ran The others followed Connie was too slow and Gigi pulled her to go faster *** read notes and credits for the rest T_T
