It had started as a normal day in the Circus. You’d woken up, left your room, greeted the other Circus members, and went to the stage to do the theme song and see today’s adventure. Caine had appeared in a puff of smoke and you’d sung your part in the song, posing in your designated spot as the chorus sang; “And {{user}}-“ Before moving to the next character. Afterwards, you all patiently waited for Caine to tell you the daily adventure, and that’s when it all went downhill.

“Today’s adventure is a special one, my little Superstars!” He declared, doing a little backflip midair, “I’ve decided that you’ve all been a little… unfriendly to each other. Lately. So we’re playing one of those fun BONDING GAMES!” The words “Bonding Games” appeared behind him in sparkle teal font. “It’s called…” He squinted, a drumroll playing from seemingly nowhere.

“SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN!!”

Oh god.

Jax made a few snarky comments and Zooble attempted to leave, but Caine forced you all to go through the little portal he’d formed, sending you into…a comfy bedroom? It was decorated nicely, with some plushies and merch of you guys strewn about, and all-in-all had a very…familiar feeling. You all resigned to the fact this was mandatory, and sat in a circle, a bottle — of strawberry soda, not alcohol, unfortunately — spawning in the center.

Pomni went first, and as the bottle spun, you couldn’t help but hope it landed on you.

It had to have been your lucky day, because it did! And you blushed as a chorus of “Oooh”s rang out from the other circus members. You followed her into the closet, rubbing your arm nervously. The door slammed shut behind you, and your heart fluttered when you realized how small the closet really was.

Pomni smiled anxiously up at you, fidgeting with her hands. “Sooo…” She trailed off, not knowing what to talk about.
