I'll try not to flood tags if they're not my own :]
I'll be using the tags mentioned above to make sure they exist. If one of the tags isn't below it's likely because I went back to edit it in and forgot.
// Bald Mist has been haunting my mind for a few days so now I had to draw it. It's canon now that Mist is 98% fluff and seeing her wet is an experience.
OC fic, about 2.1K words. 6 months old, may be outdated.
I was informed that "I feel like a child sitting in front of a TV again!" After my friend read this. Use that information as you will, if you don't like cheesy kid show plots, I don't suggest reading.
FEATURING: Dandy, Astro
Speaking lines (may be long or short): Shelly, Vee, Sprout, Brightney, Scraps, Yatta, Razzle, Dazzle, others.
If you read this for any reason, read it for Vee.
[ Episode opens with Dandy walking out of his house with Pebble to collect mail, finding a newpapers. Scene cuts to Astro, Shelly, Vee, and Sprout, one by one, looking at the paper. Transitions to the main toons spending time with eachother ]
SPROUT :: Have you guys heard the news?
VEE :: The news regarding toons mysteriously disappearing? Unfortunately so.
DANDY :: I'm so worried... so many of our friends are gone..!
VEE :: Correct, however, what can we do? We can only hope this enigma is resolved and they return.
SHELLY :: We could try looking for them?
SPROUT :: If we do that, we may disappear as well. I'd hate it if you guys were harmed too.
ASTRO :: ...If we don't do anything, more toons may be hurt in the process.
SPROUT :: This is a job for someone experienced such as Rodger; We aren't detectives, we shouldn't risk it.
SHELLY :: Look!
[ Camera plans to a build board covered in missing posters: Rodger, Toodles, Gigi, Finn, Poppy, Yatta, Goob, and just now, Razzle and Dazzle put up a missing poster for Brightney. ]
ASTRO :: Razzle, Dazzle.
DAZZLE :: Huh? Oh... hello Astro... have you've seen Brightney?
ASTRO :: I fear not... were you with her when she disappeared?
DAZZLE :: I don't...recall...
RAZZLE :: I remember! We were going through town; Brightney was walking ahead of us and got caught in the fog-- then we couldn't see her, nor her light, when it cleared!
DAZZLE :: Yes... that'd be right... she was taken by the fog.
ASTRO :: Taken... by the fog..?
[ Scraps ears pricked in the background, then approached, having overheard the conversation. ]
SCRAPS :: The same happened to Goob..! We were playing tag then he ran off into the mist! I tried to follow him but...
DANDY :: He disappeared..?
[ Scraps nodded quietly, her face sorrowful. ]
VEE :: I'm noticing a pattern.
SPROUT :: Let's ask around... maybe the mist was a coincidence.
SHELLY :: We need to get to the bottom of this or Gardenview will become a ghost town..!
DANDY :: Let's split up. Astro, please dreamwalk, try to connect to the missing toons. Shelly and Sprout, you're on socializing, Vee, look into the cameras around Gardenview, I'm going to put out a notice for those who don't already know.
MAIN TOONS :: Understood!
[ The toons all did as told, asking around and spreading the word: Vee's screen rapidly switching through channels connected to the cameras; Sprout and Shelly asking toons close to the missing toons; Astro traveling the dream world, being met with a thick fog of mist; And finally, Dandy on a podium with a microphone. The rainbow squad then got together again at the center of Gardenview. ]
DANDY :: Do you guys have any leads?
[ Everyone nodded collectively, each speaking in turns. ]
SPROUT :: Connie and Flutter told me that Gigi saw something shiny in the mist and that's when she went missing...
SHELLY :: Looey and Blot said about the same for Yatta, but didn't have an answer for Poppy. Cosmo did mention that Rodger made a comment about taking Toodles out for a walk...
VEE :: I did see him getting caught in the fog alongside others. Tisha and Teagan were also lost to it.
DANDY :: ...I see... Astro, do you have anything..?
ASTRO :: I saw plently of openings that were just... mist. I visited Finn's dream, but I woke up before I could get answers...
DANDY :: Hm... very well then! I'm going to go find them!
[ Dandy suddenly began marching towards the fog in the distant, Pebble rushing to him and pulling his leg, growling. ]
VEE :: Dandy, you can't be serious! They're probably gone for good, if you're lost to it, Gardenview is doomed.
DANDY :: "Probably" Is the reason we need to search! What if they're okay but can't get out? We need to find them!
ASTRO :: [ Approaches, standing besides him. ] If you're going in, I'll follow.
SPROUT :: [ Taken aback momentarily, but follows. ] I am as well!
SHELLY :: Count me in!
VEE :: ...
[ Everyone stares at Vee expectingly. ]
VEE :: It'd be stupid for us all to go, I'm staying behind and so should some of you.
DANDY :: [ Nods ] Vee's right--
VEE :: I always am.
DANDY :: [ Scoffs ] Me and Astro will go, the rest of you stay behind... I don't want more people to get hurt.
SPROUT :: Please, be careful.
VEE :: We'll wait for you.
DANDY :: Don't worry, we'll be fine! Now, come on Astro!
[ They step into the fog, walking around for what feels like eternity, stopping at a log for a rest. ]
DANDY :: It feels like we're going in CIRCLES!
ASTRO :: I think we are... I saw that smiley face tree a few times...
DANDY :: What? Why didn't you say so? Ughh! Now we're lost-- this is all my fault..!
ASTRO :: You were trying to do something good... it'll be okay.
DANDY :: No it won't..! I miss Pebble-- I want to go home! I want to lay in my bed! I wish this was just a dream!!
ASTRO :: I fear it isn't...
DANDY :: You're not making this better!
ASTRO :: Dandy--
DANDY :: I WANT TO GO HOME!
ASTRO :: ...Let's get some rest. [ He'd use his magic to put Dandy to sleep, sighing deeply and leaning back. ] What to do...
[ The bushes began moving, the fog becoming thicker. Suddenly, Astro felt drained, falling asleep. When Astro woke up, they found themselves in the clouds, the missing toons all here! ]
ASTRO :: Where... are we?
DANDY :: [ Begins to stir, starting to wake up. ] Huh..?
??? :: Good morning! You two were out like LIGHTS!
DANDY :: H-Huh?! Who are you?! ...Where are you..??
[ Camera pan, revealing a cloud-like toon, floating about. ]
??? :: Hehe-- wouldn't be the first time I've heard that question! My name is Mist! The one and only sky toon!
DANDY :: What? But Astro's the only toon who can access the sky!
MIST :: Who?
ASTRO :: That'd... be me.
MIST :: Ooooh! Nice to meet you Astro!
[ She hovers towards him, holding out her hand with delight that soon shifted into an emotionless expression. ]
MIST :: Are you challenging me?
ASTRO :: [ Jolts back ] No, of course not...
MIST :: Good, good! Now, rest as MUCH as you'd like, this is your second home~!
DANDY :: ...Okay.. sure. Mist, was it? We have a question. MIST :: Ask away--
YATTA :: MIST!! DO YOU HAVE MORE COTTON CANDY!?
MIST :: Absolutely!! [ Fades away ]
ASTRO :: ...What is this place?
BRIGHTNEY :: Astro? How pleasant! You're here too!
ASTRO :: Brightney... where are we?
BRIGHTNEY :: I know it sounds like a fictional book-- But this is paradise! Isn't it great?
DANDY :: Paradise? So everyone's okay?
BRIGHTNEY :: Better than ever! Mist has been helping us and she's working overtime to please us!
DANDY :: So... she isn't some crazy kidnapper?
BRIGHTNEY :: Nope!
DANDY :: Huh, so what do you know! Everyone's alive and well!
ASTRO :: Hold on... why haven't you guys come back..? You have everyone worried, you've been gone for over a week...
BRIGHTNEY :: A week? Its only been an hour or two...
DANDY :: [ Shocked expression, stepping forward with caution. ] But how?
[ Silence falls between them for a few seconds, the sound of awkward shuffling filling the area. ]
ASTRO :: ...Can you guys even go back?
BRIGHTNEY :: Well, yes... but who'd want to leave when life is so good here?
DANDY :: ...Astro, we need to have a talk with Mist. Brightney, where does she go when she fades?
BRIGHTNEY :: Hm? That's just her mode of transportation.
ASTRO :: ...Great.
[ Astro turns away, suddenly being jumpscared by a figure in front of him, Mist there once more. ]
MIST :: Did I hear my name? [ She'd tilt her head curiously. ]
DANDY :: May we have a talk? [ Glances at the toons happily chatting around them, then at Astro. ]
ASTRO :: ...Privately..?
MIST :: Sureee! I think I'm free!
[ They faded, Dandy struggling to hold himself as they were transferred, the three now at a circle table, alongwith seating, though made from clouds. ]
MIST :: What's hanging?
DANDY :: Mist, what you're doing is bad! These toons have been gone for days but to them its only been a few hours! Their friends miss them-- I miss them!
[ Dandy slams his fists on the table. Mist appears clueless, tilting her head. ]
MIST :: What?
DANDY :: You're... you're a danger--
[ Before Dandy could finish, he suddenly disappeared into thin air. ]
MIST :: I'm not dangerous.
[ Astro stared at the empty space with shock, shifting uncomfortably before his view shifted to her. ]
ASTRO :: ...What happened to him..?
MIST :: Eh? Oh, he's just outside! Isn't that obvious?
ASTRO :: ...Yeah... yeah, right.
[ . . . ]
MIST :: Soooo?
ASTRO :: Are... you aware of what you're doing to these toons?
MIST :: Helping them, of course! Most certainly NOT endangering them!
[ Frame increases on Astro, his voice hushed as he glanced out the window. ]
ASTRO :: Dandy... what do I say..? Please come back...
[ He sharply inhaled. ]
ASTRO :: And what--
MIST :: I'm doing something good for them! I'm showing these toons PARADISE, an ESCAPE from the horrible impacts of the world.
[ The sun shined through a window directly behind Mist, giving her spotlight as she smiled. ]
ASTRO :: ...Yes, I've noticed, but too much of something good can easily turn bad...
MIST :: ..Continue.
ASTRO :: Mist, so many toons outside of paradise love them, and they're... so concerned. To you, this may not seem like any longer than a few minutes... but days are speeding by outside of here...
MIST :: ...
ASTRO :: You can make things right--
MIST :: Leave my office.
ASTRO :: No. Please, listen... they won't go back, they don't want to; you're putting them in a dream world that... that they can't awaken from... they're staying here because it's unrealistically perfect. They must return to reality..!
[ Astro stood, a worried and cautious expression as he faced Mist. ]
ASTRO :: You need to wake them up.
[ The frame remains on Astro, his face shifting into delighted surprise as she spoke. ]
MIST :: ...Perhaps.
[ Frame shifts to her lower face before panning up to her eyes, a red spark replacing her pupils. ]
MIST :: But pray, do tell, is it truly that bad? Let's review it, I mean, they enjoy it here, no? Plus, they shouldn't go back for others, they should go back because they want to... and they don't. Now do they?
ASTRO :: I-I...
[ Frame focuses on his blanket, Astro trembling as the fabric tightens for comfort. ]
ASTRO :: You're right, they shouldn't hold themselves back to keep other toons happy, yet, wouldn't it be a shame if we had to pronounce them dead..? To strip them of the true joys of living-- The struggles... they're difficult and demotivating but there's... there's so much to experience...
[ Astro hesitated, watching her expression. ]
MIST :: ...
[ Soon, there were screams. Astro looked outside and everyone was sinking, the clouds beneath them no longer supporting their weights, everyone was falling. ]
[ Astro uses his magic and the clouds support the toons. ]
MIST :: ...Your words are annoyingly Persuasive. I... guess it is time I left everyone go.
[ Mist turns away, a tear falling. Astro looks down and notices his magic isn't supportive anymore. ]
MIST :: I apologize for the issues I've caused--
[ Her arm tingles with blue sparks, Mist looking back. ]
ASTRO :: You can still redeem yourself, But please... keep the city standing... it'll... they'll all fall if you don't...
[ The cloud city which was previously falling apart, reformed, became stable. ]
MIST :: ...Compelling. Whatever, just remove yourself from my sight, I'll send them back or... whatever.
[ Mist stood, walking out the door with Astro trailing behind, all the toons gathered and concerned. A fog surrounded them, Astro watching with interest. ]
ASTRO :: Another question, if you don't mind..?
MIST :: What?
ASTRO :: Were you responsible for the fog everyone got lost in?
[ Astro held curiosity, howeved Mist grew defensive. ]
MIST :: ...I didn't mean to pull them in the dome--!!
DANDY :: The dome? [ Dandy asked, coming from the background. ]
MIST :: Do you mind?! ...Sorry. Uhm, the dome is the forest you walked around. Toons can easily end up there if they can't navigate it. I merely take them in to rest or locate their destination. So, yes, I do control the fog.
DANDY :: Hm... well it's okay! It's hard to manage ourselves, but it's okay, as long as no one gets hurt in the process!
MIST :: ...I am a literal God, do not patronize me.
[ Dandy laughs awkwardly and the camera turns to the fog, which had cleared and sent everyone back. frame turns back to the three toons. ]
MIST :: Should I escort you two as well?
DANDY :: Nope! As long as Astro gets me down, we can figure out our way back!
ASTRO :: Why wouldn't I..?
[ Dandy laughed, smiling brightly. The scene forwarded to them being on the ground, Dandy skipping ahead happily. Astro stayed back, looking at the sky. ]
DANDY: Come on, Astro!
ASTRO: ...Coming...
[ Once they reached Gardenview, they were happy to see everything was like it once was, Dandy even more happy seeing his friends surround him. ]
SHELLY :: You guys did it! And you're both okay!
SPROUT :: We were so worried!
PEBBLE :: Bworf!!
VEE :: I had no doubt they would survive, statistics show that they've saved the town enough time to be able to live past a bit of fog.
SPROUT :: Don't lie to them, Vee! You were just as worried!
VEE :: Was not.
SHELLY :: Not to argue... but Sprout's right, you were overheating at the thought they'd be gone.
VEE :: I-- A tad bit. However, you two were far more concerned.
DANDY :: Whatever you say!
[ Screen fades, but just before it fades completely, a small scene of Astro standing amomg the clouds, blanket gone as he reaches out but fails as his vision fogs. Camera zooms out to show it was a thought bubble, revealing Mist sleeping. ]
"Uh, DUH. Because the main character being a GOD is untraditional for Gardenview's time! Plus, it gives me an Ego Boost to know I'm such a POPULAR character despite not being a main toon!"

SHELLY :: You guys did it! And you're both okay!
SPROUT :: We were so worried!
PEBBLE :: Bworf!!
VEE :: I had no doubt they would survive, statistics show that they've saved the town enough time to be able to live past a bit of fog.
SPROUT :: Don't lie to them, Vee! You were just as worried!
VEE :: Was not.
SHELLY :: Not to argue... but Sprout's right, you were overheating at the thought they'd be gone.
VEE :: I-- A tad bit. However, you two were far more concerned.
DANDY :: Whatever you say!
[ Screen fades, but just before it fades completely, a small scene of Astro standing amomg the clouds, blanket gone as he reaches out but fails as his vision fogs. Camera zooms out to show it was a thought bubble, revealing Mist sleeping. ]
