SONG FOR THE CHAPTER ⬆️

YOUR DAILY CATBOO IMAGE ⬇️

(Your pov)

Someone was telling me repeatedly to take deep breaths, and telling me everything was going to be okay. I did as I was told, and began to calm down.

The person talking to me was a guy my age that was freakishly tall. He was wearing a suit that reminded me of Catboo's fur. Where was Catboo?

I realized that the suit was accurate, and everyone was wearing formal clothing. I began to feel anxious due to how underdressed I was.

"Hey, deep breaths, you're okay," he said. "My names Mark. Why don't you come with me."

He gently took my hands and led me into the dancing circle of people.

"I don't know how to dance," I said shakily.

"Neither do I!"

We both just started trying to mimic the other people dancing around us, which usually ended up in the two of us holding hands as we spun around really fast.

Hope they're loving the ride

We were both laughing like maniacs, and I was having what was probably the best time of my life. For the first time in a long time I wasn't worried about anything, and the things going on around me didn't seem to matter.

Adventure is out there

We kept spinning and I completely lost track of time. We ended up 'dancing' for so long that the two of us felt like we were dying of thirst because we ignored basic self care.

"I'm gonna go grab some water bottles real quick," he said.

Mark walked away, and I just found a nice place to sit down since my legs were killing me.

"This will be the last song of the celebration," I heard a loud voice call out.

The song began to play, and it sounded like a pleasant lullaby. That was until some of the musicians started yelling. Then people in the crowd started to yell too.

Everything was so loud and abrupt, I began to panic.

My hands flew up to my ears and I slid to the ground with my knees towards my chest.

Where was Catboo? I really needed him right now.

(Third person pov)

Mark went to find drinks for himself and (y/n) when he heard that the final song was going to play. It started sweetly, but then people began to yell.

God, (y/n) was probably freaking out!

But Mark wasn't there. The pain from earlier was coming back, but much worse this time. Then he heard the worst thing possible.

"Mark?!"

I bought me some new socks

Mark whipped around and saw Tubbo standing there. Before Mark could say anything, he began crying out in pain.

Tubbo was terrified as he watched Mark shrink down in his suit, and his pained cries began to morph into meows. Tubbo wanted to break down in tears when he watched the little form Mark had become crawl out of the suits fabric, revealing Catboo.

"Mark? Oh my god Mark! What happened, how?!"

I won't lose them

I'm sure

Tubbo was panicking. His best friend has turned into a cat in front of his fucking eyes!

Mark wanted to comfort his platonic husband in some way, when he heard (y/n)'s heart drumming against their ribcage. They were in a very bad mental place. He heard tears hitting the ground around them, and so he took off like a bullet to get to them.

Tubbo chased after him.

Someday hopefully

I'll slip away and they'll lose me

And I'll be seeing the world~
