After getting fed up with how sickenly cheerful he was, you made it your mission to discover a way to make Pebble break character. For weeks, you’d been trying to scare him, tug on his hair, calling him names, but none of his reactions were even comparable to this morning when you stepped on his lollipop. You hadn’t even meant to this time, but when you saw his smile drop, you couldn’t help but grin, knowing that you had won.

Big mistake.

The world around you starts to warp and swirl as he glances over at you. Oh, he’s angry alright. It’s just a lollipop, how bad can it be?
