Chapter 17 - The Turnout

London is pacing around the room.

"I can't believe that Entity has a soft spot for Freddy!" London happily said.

"How do you know this...?" Galaxy said, creeped out.

"Well. I...erm...just know." London said.

If they knew that he was the only one Entity didn't hate, then things would go to hell.

"Well, you do have that power. To see emotions and what people are feeling." Galaxy said with a huge smirk on her face.

"If they do decide to attack us again, we could use that as a tactic to make Entity...well...practically harmless." Darla said, laughing.

"Yes, but we need to be careful. If they do like each other, then we can't use that tactic too many times. It might eventually get through to them that we are using it against them." Scarlett said.

"True, but I doubt Freddy would hurt me. I don't know about you guys." Goldie said.

"I have to deal with one bear. Two is more than enough for me." Galaxy said, crossing her arms.

"Well, maybe get a bigger cup." London said, rolling his eyes.

"Maybe get a better personality." Galaxy said, scoffing.

"You're one to talk." London said.

"Ok, enough you two." Darla said.

"Don't we have something better to do other than to plan for another fight..." Scarlett said with annoyance in her voice.

"Sadly, no." Darla said.

"Uhg, this story is beginning to get more and more unrealistic." Scarlett said, clearly annoyed.

"Yeah, well, let's stick to it." Darla said.

"Can we just kill them and be done with it? I'm so tired of them abducting London and trying to kill him." Galaxy said, annoyed.

"You aren't ruining my ship." London said, pointing at Galaxy.

"Ok, so, a love story is worth your life?" Galaxy remarked.

"If it means helping Entity, then yes." London said.

Everyone stares at him.

"What did you just say?" Darla said angrily.

"He's hurting a lot more than we are. I want to help him." London said.

"Who cares about their sentiments?! They tried to kill you, twice! And may I remind you that Icey was psychologically in pain after that seperation?" Galaxy said, visibly annoyed.

"Who cares?! There's this thing called forgiving and forgetting!" London shouted.

"THEY TRIED KILLING YOU TWICE. WHAT'S THERE TO FORGIVE AND WHAT'S THERE TO FORGET?!" Galaxy asked very loudly.

"THEY AREN'T BAD PEOPLE. THEY ARE LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF US!" London shouts back.

"Yeah, even complete with their gay person with a boy-toy and a character with constant RBF attitude." Scarlett remarked.

"That doesn't explain the fact on why you want to help the enemy team." Galaxy said.

"Guys, look. When it comes to the relationship between all of them, I see two abusive ones 1 promising one and many different commons they have." London said.

"Ok, so, explain why you want to help the people that tried to kill you." Galaxy asked.

"Because everyone deserves a second chance." London said.

"A second chance?! At what?! Your demise?!" Scarlett asked in annoyance.

"I don't understand what's so hard to understand about this." London said, sighing.

Everyone glares at him.

"So let me get this straight. You want to help the enemy team , emotionally, to pretty much make them harmless?" Darla asked.

"No! I don't want to view this as a fighting tactic! I want to help Entity specifically!" London shouts at Darla.

"Why help Freddy and Entity get together? Did you already forget?" Darla asked.

"No, I haven't forgotten. But that was in the past." London said.

"Yeah, ok. So Freddy trying to kill me in my own house is something we can just "forgive and forget"." Darla said with air quotes.

"Darla that was so long ago..." London said hesitantly.

Everyone stares at Darla.

"That overrated fuzzball did WHAT?" Galaxy said angrily.

Everyone snickers. Galaxy is looking at Darla with wide eyes.

"Well, 12 years back, I got stuck with this seyance group. We were trying to summon some ghosts, but we said something wrong and instead of summoning a good ghost, we summoned Freddy. That overrated dimwit killed all of my friends. I never forgave him for it and I still won't." Darla said, tearing up.

"Hey, we will figure it out somehow. You'll get your chance just like Goldie will with Gavin." Scarlett said, patting Darla's back.

"Damn right." Goldie said.

"Uhg, this is so overrated. I'm about to kill not one fuzzball but two extremely overrated fuzzballs." Galaxy said sighing.

Goldie looks at her.

"I know you know who I'm talking about." Galaxy said, glaring at him.

"Good, cuz I was fixing to be like, why me." Goldie said, laughing.

"Anyways, we got a plan for now. We will have to wait and see where it goes." Darla said, wiping the tears running down from her face.

"Entity! Where are you?" Lilith screamed from her dark room.

No response.

"I swear to god, if you're making potions without me, I'll kill you!" Lilith said.

Lilith hears talking in the other room. She walks up to the door and puts her ear up against it.

"I'm just not sure if Lilith still wants me around. She's a good person, I know it. She just has a very short fuse..." Entity said.

"Hey there's no need to be upset about it. I bet deep down she truely cares about you..." Freddy said.

"Do you really think so?" Entity said.

"I know so. When I got separated from my friends it was hard to deal with it at first, but then I realized that deep down, we all cared for one another in that time of crisis." Freddy said sympathetically.

"Thanks, Freddy...I feel a lot better finally letting this all out to someone." Entity said, hugging Freddy.

"That's what best friends are for, right?" Freddy jokingly asked.

"Yeah...best friends." Entity said.

Lilith went back to her room and began to cry.

"Why am I like this...Why can't I be just like everyone else..." Lilith said quietly.

She looks at her cauldron.

"One day, I'll be normal again."
