More of The Good Place/S18 AU that nobody asked for. Obvious spoilers for The Good Place (Season 1 ending)
Everyone was yelling when the realization hit Myki.
Briar was yelling at Juicy, and Juicy was yelling at Nini. Darlene was yelling too, and Myki wasn’t even sure if she was programmed to be capable of arguing.
She tried to keep up with all the arguments, but stepped back as everyone was talking over each other. Constant arguments were surely not something that happened in The Good Place.
And then it hit her all at once.
“Holy. Forking. Shirtballs.” Myki said out loud, catching everyone’s attention.
“What? What is it?” Nini asked her.
She put her hands on her head in complete disbelief. “No way, they really had us fooled. I can’t believe they played us like this.” She was laughing now.
“What are you talking about?” Briar asked.
“You’ll see,” Myki said before turning around. “Jane, Discord. You can come out now.”
Jane and Discord popped up in the middle of the room, where they were standing before. “Have you made a decision?” Jane asked.
“Yup, Nini and I are going to The Bad Place.” Myki confidently said.
“Myki, what are you-” Nini started.
Myki held up a hand. “Don’t worry,” she told her. “Go on, call us a train,” she challenged.
Jane looked at Discord before turning back to the humans (and Darlene). “If that’s your final decision. I’ll call the train to The Bad Place.”
Jane narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”
“You can’t call us a train. You were never going to.” Myki said before looking at everyone else. “They can’t because we already are in The Bad Place.”
Silence fell amongst everyone. Even Darlene didn’t know this, and she knew everything in the universe. Until Discord and Jane started laughing.
“The dummies figured us out!” Discord said while laughing.
“Took them long enough!” Jane added.
Everyone looked shocked and confused. “Wait, she’s right?” Nini asked.
“Yeah, she’s right,” Jane confirmed in disappointment. “I’ll just erase your memories, reboot Darlene, and do this experiment all over again.”
“I’m fine with it,” Discord said.
In the short few minutes they had left, Myki wrote herself a note for the future. She put it in Darlene’s mouth, the safest place in the neighborhood. Everyone else looked unsure,
But as long as she could find Nini, that’s all that mattered.
