Randall turned to see Clay and Wilbur as he nervously waved hi. The pink haired man also turned as he crossed his arms and legs

"Well, well, well. It seems like I have a traitor within my group," Dave said as Wilbur hid behind Clay and whimpered

: Traitor? He's been trying to lock sense into you!

: Is he? Then why is he with you?

: None of your business!

: I got to go

: No! Stay! I have something to ask of you 3

Dave led the trio to an empty room in the bar as he locked the door behind. "All of you are hiding something. I can sense it," Dave said as the 3 looked at each other

Clay looked at the floor. He remembered Wilbur mentioning that Dave will harm George and Niki if they were to tell him. Will he also harm Sykkuno? Most likely

: Well?

: I am hiding something

: *soft gasp*

: Really? What is it?

: I...can...sing...well...I...rap

: ...

: ...

: ...

: Yeah, and these 2 have been with me

: Really?

: *nervously* Yeah!

: He's quite scary

: Give me one title of his songs

Clay and Wilbur nervously shifted as they watched Randall make hand movements. Wilbur eyed the hands as he figured what he was saying

Wilbur breathed in, "The song is called "MISS YOU" and he's pretty amazing!" Dave took out his phone and searched for the song

He found it on Spotify and looked at Randall, "So your online name is Corpse?" Randall nodded as Dave placed his phone back in his pocket

"I will leave you guys to it, and Wilbur, come with me," Dave ordered as the teen bowed and followed the male

: YOU SING?!?!

: Yeah, and it calms Sykkuno when I play one of my songs, well, if I play a specific one

: I'd love to hear more!

: *flustered* Wow! Thanks! I...have to go

Randall rushed as Clay ran out of the bar and back home. His parents weren't home. He opened the door and found a note from his parents

Out On a Business Trip

Be back in a few days

Love - Mom and Dad

Clay sighed as he smiled and took a shower. He went into his room and heard rustling on his sheets

"BOO!" the figure said as Clay jumped and fell on the floor. He looked to see a tiny human laughing as Clay laughed

: George, you idiot!

: WHAT?!

: I could've died!

: But you didn't!

: Why you little -

Clay scooped up the tiny human and nuzzled into him as the mushroom boy laughed. He tickled him as George begged for Clay to stop

Once done, a cat mewed and George hugged its tail. "Hi Patches," Clay heaved as George and Patches nuzzled each other

Clay went to the closet to get dressed. George blushed as Patches patted his hat. "What is it?" the cat used her head to motion to talk in private

: Patches, what is it?

: You need to get out of here

: What?

: Dave is coming. I heard him when he walked by as I was on my daily walks

: Isn't he the one that -

: Clay's rival. He's been messing with him and I am the one thing who could calm him down. I love my owner deeply

: I understand. I'll let him know

: I'll make sure to keep Clay safe

: Thank you, Patches

Patches purred as she licked his face. Clay stepped out and noticed Patches carrying George from the back of his coat and placed him on the counter

: I have to go

: Why?

: Sapnap will be very worried and I have been out of the village for far too long. They need me

: Ok

Clay nuzzled George as he sadly made his way out. A vine coiled on the mushroom boy's waist as he made it down safely and ran into the forest near Clay's backyard

Clay heard Patches hiss as as he went to the window. "What is it, girl?" he asked as he looked to see Dave smiling widely

He jumped down as Clay's eyes widened. He opened the window and chased Dave as Patches ran into George's direction

Clay ran as he followed Dave in an alley. Once there, Dave laughed and flipped out his switch knife and twirled it around

"I knew it wasn't about Randall," he laughed as Clay growled and both walked facing each other in a circle

: Please

: The one thing to break you was there all along

: I won't let you get near him!

: Really? I already sent Tommy to get him

Clay growled and lunged at Dave as he dodged and made a cut on Clay's shoulder. He winced and leaned on the wall as Dave smiled, "He'll be dead by the time he brings me that tiny!"

Clay clenched his teeth and tackled the male as he slammed him on the brick wall

Patches ran into the forest and found George as he was walking peacefully. "George!" she meowed as the mushroom boy turned around

: IT'S DAVE! HE SAW YOU! YOU NEED TO RUN!

: WHAT?!

Both George and Patches heard a rustle as the cat went in front of George and hissed. "Well, hello there," a blonde male greeted wickedly as Patches hissed louder
