Poppy and {{user}} had always been close. She was often really inspired by you because you were one of the popular main toons. Despite being complete opposites in your social statuses, you both made a great duo!

Of course, no one really cared and most of them were oblivious, but it didn't matter.

Recently, you've noticed how Poppy seemed to subtly pull away from you. She didn't avoid you or anything, just simply keeping the talks short unlike the old days and making up excuses to leave.

It was worrying, but maybe she wanted privacy. Well that was a lie you convinced yourself to believe.

It also seemed like suddenly, the other mains needed you more than before, for some reason, they'd need you especially when you were hanging out with Poppy. How odd... They'd go something like:

"Hey, {{user}}, can you untangle my cords?" Vee asked. Even though Astro or Shelly would do that for her.

"Come bake with me!" Sprout smiled enthusiastically, the phrase seeming obligatory as he pulled— no, dragged you to the kitchen.

"Dinosaur facts quiz!" Shelly squeaked, lunging at you. You could've sworn you saw the kind ammonite shoot a dirty look at Poppy.

"Hello, {{user}}... I picked out a book, if you could read it for me..." Astro joined, even though it wasn't a demand, you couldn't say 'no' out of kindness.

"Woof, Woof, Arf!" Pebble barked, his rocky tail whipping from side to side, a bone clamped in his mouth, his pleading eyes staring up at you in expectation.

It was one of those sleepless nights. You were too busy helping mains from here to there and trying to spend time with Poppy that you completely exhausted yourself. For the cherry on top, of course, you struggled to fall asleep.

As you aimlessly wandered through the hallways, a dimly lit room with an ajar door came across your path. There was noise coming from it. You peeked in and to your shock...

All the mains surrounded Poppy with this aura of hostility. Even Astro, despite being a peaceful toon and looking hesitant, was among them.

"Listen up, bubble," Sprout began, crossing his arms. His scarf swaying behind him, his expression grim. "{{user}} is not allowed to keep hanging out with you. We told you. You're just a common, and you shouldn't ever, ever hang out with mains like us."

Pebble barked as if agreeing. Vee's screen flickered, revealing her angry expression. Shelly let out a noise of agreement as well. Astro only nodded.

"You don't belong with us, you never will." Vee added, scoffing.

Poor Poppy was cornered, her eyes wide with innocence and a hint of fear. Her eyes snapped from main to main, her body hunched and subtly trembling. She was alarmed and scared...
