"I walked by someone in the street and they shouted go white boy go, it wasn't a child, it was a full grown man, he wasn't drunk, he just did that to do it."
It was a beautiful sunny day no clouds in the sky, a warm sandy beach, cool water, a few different booths selling water and other frozen treats, and all sorts of people hanging out, from humans, to monsters, to even robots.
Mr. WPNZ was near the water, in a pair of jazz design colored shorts, no shirt on, currently grilling hot dogs and burgers for himself, his kids, Frisk, SMG4, SMG3, Starlo, and a few others.
Ceroba, Marlet, Meggy, Saiko, Karen and a few of the other girls were playing Volleyball.
Meanwhile Mr. Puzzles was wearing a gigantic sunhat, much bigger then it really needed to be, and sipping a smoothie outside of a gigantic silly straw. Huddled under an umbrella on a beach chair, and a towel.
He was wearing a no sleeve white crop top, with a puzzle logo, with grey shorts, and all over his arms was a cyborg friendly sunscreen. He was currently grumbling to himself quietly about some things with a grumpy expression on his face.
"...I hate the beach, I hate this hot weather, it's gonna damage my body if I get any water on any of my circuitry or almost worse sand inside any of it."
"... I don't belong here... I should have stayed home."
Soon Mr. WPNZ began to hand out all the cooked food and he looked over at Puzzles.
"Hey Boxhead ya want anything? Better hurry before Toomp digs himself out of that hole, that Petals Buried him in, and starts eating it all!"
Mr. Puzzles crossed his arms.
"No, No I'm fine! I don't eat that kind of stuff!"
Mr. WPNZ Shrugged.
"Eh, whatever man, more for us."
He turned away, to focus on handing away food. Meanwhile the girls were finished with their game for now, most of them went to go grab food, some went swimming, Ceroba was stopping to take a drink, as she looked over at Mr. Puzzles and turned her attention to Meggy.
"Do you know what's wrong with him? It's sometimes hard to get a read on him."
Meggy looked over at Puzzles for a moment, thinking about it.
"Welllllll... He dosen't exactly like the beach, he's not exactly safe in water for long, and the sand can get stuck in his vents, honestly I'm kinda suprised he showed up at all, maybe he didn't want to feel left out? But that hasn't stopped him before."
"I honestly have no clue why he's here."
Meanwhile while the two were having their discussion Mr. Puzzles was looking at both Ceroba and Mr. Wpnz with a love struck expression.
He thought they were both beautiful and handsome respectively, their scars, the small little marks on their bodies. The way the sweat dripped down the body of Mr. WPNZ, the way that the sun shined perfectly against Ceroba's fur. And of course, how lovely they both looked in their beach outfits.
He wishes he could join them both and join in on the fun, but he knew the risks, so stayed behind with a grumble.
Ceroba caught the way he was looking at them both and let out a bit of a chuckle, turning to Meggy for a moment. "I think I'm gonna go check up on him." Meggy nodded and turned back to get a drink of her own, before jumping into the water.
Mr. Puzzles saw Ceroba looking at him, so he turned the brightness down on his own screen, and shoved hat hat down over his screen, meanwhile she walked up to him almost silently.
To where he didn't even notice, untill he felt a sudden weight pressing against his shoulder and looked to see her resting her chin ontop of it with a slightly smug but still soft smile.
"You alright over here Romeo?"
Mr. Puzzles almost jumped he was honestly quite shocked, he didn't even hear her approach to have her suddenly next to him flustered him to no end, making him Sutter a bit as he responded with a bit of a flushed face.
"Me? I'm fine! I'm fiiiiiiiiiiiiine! Just like your fine! I mean um... uh... uh.... um.... uh... ANYWAY! Yes you don't need to worry about me!"
He waved his hand defensively, and she pulled her head away as she peered at him with a gentle tilt to her head.
"You know, me and a few of the others, are wondering why you showed up, when you hate the beach as much as you do."
As they were talking, the sounds of Flowey could be screaming could be heard, as him and his flower pot were tossed into the air by Toomp, who managed to free himself from the hole he was buried in.
"FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISK, THE PINK BLOB THING IS ATTACKING ME!"
Frisk was eating their burger, and just gave a thumbs up, while Mr. WPNZ chuckled.
"You kick that flowers butt Toomp!"
Mr. Puzzles had sighed after watching the chaos unfold for a moment, he finally gathered himself enough to give an honest answer.
"I-I came here, because normally I tend to avoid doing things I genuinely don't think I'd enjoy, and well I wanted to change that, just because I guess I was just looking for an excuse to spend more time with you all."
He soon muttered softly.
"Epically you and Mr. WPNZ."
Ceroba was about to reply, before Mr. Puzzles continued as he was looking a bit nervous again, but still kept his nerves.
"I just wanted to join you all, in something you all wanted todo, because you and Mr. WPNZ often do the stuff I want todo, and well, I wanted to pay back the favor, because it's not fair to the both of you."
Ceroba nodded softly and soon took his hand into her own and brushed her thumb against his knuckles.
"We both appreciate the fact that your trying, it took alot to step out of your comfort zone and join us here, but remember, we both love you and wouldn't want to make you feel forced to join us, Okay?"
Mr. Puzzles was about to interject, but she went 'shh' and so he let her continue.
"The fact you did this at all means alot, but never feel pressured to join in on activities you yourself, would not feel safe or enjoy doing alright? We both love and appreciate you no matter what, why don't we all discuss an activity we'd all enjoy doing later?"
She had a patient smile on her face, and Mr. Puzzles just simply nodded before responding.
"I suppose your right, but still it won't stop me from having some fun today, despite my distaste of sand, because it's course, rough and get's everywhere."
She squinted just because he made that reference, but let him continue.
"How about we make a sandcastle together? I'm sure we can manage without getting any sand into my vents."
She thought about for a moment, before deciding to make sure, so she asked.
"Are you sure you'd be alright with that? It is completely your choice, I wouldn't be upset if you changed your mind."
Puzzles nodded with a bit of excitement.
"Of course I'm sure! I'm the one who suggested the idea after all, I think that's the one activity here I can enjoy."
Mr. WPNZ Finally made his way over to the pair and sat on the other side of Puzzles with a thump.
"So what's going on over here foxy love, and Boxxy?"
Mr. Puzzles lifted his hat out of his own face, and soon increased his brightness once again, before having a star eyed expression.
"We're going to build the best damn sand castle, this beach has ever seen, that's what's going on my Misters Mister!"
Mr. WPNZ soon cheered loudly almost punching the umbrella over, in excitement as he shouted. "Oh HELL yeah! We're gonna crush everyone else's sand castles out of the park!"
He soon whistled and Toomp came waddling over, and turned himself into a bucket, all four of them started to have a fun time together, even in spite of Mr. Puzzles flinching every time sand went up into the air, thanks to the encouragement of both of his partners, he had a genuinely great time with them.
"Meggy! what a pleasant surprise! And how have you been my dear?"
oh hello puzzles,errr,,well its been a while hasnt it ? I'm doing alright, just residing currently with smg4 in his home , ehhh.. I've been learning how to cook but I keep accidentally burning stuff haha...! I'm still a terrible cook..kind of— er, you okay there? not sure what else to say since...well, you know. but yes, what has been going on there with you?
"I feel like the universe just has it against you, when it comes to cooking, like your so good at basically everything else, it decided you need one thing you can NEVER be good at, and ironically it chose something acutally important for you to need to know. Which in this case is cooking."
Mr. Puzzles let out a snort before shaking his head.
"I would say I'm doing 'simply smashing' as Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberry's would say!"
"Nothing I can really give any details on, but besides a touch of loneness, things are going as well as they could be."
Mr. Puzzles grumbled, as he wore a thick trenchcoat, and a rain hat, to protect his head from all the rain he hated himself at the moment, it completely covered up his identity.
Maybe he should have waited one more day, but he was already tardy enough, and he didn't want to keep the man waiting any longer, he took a deep breath and soon made himself inside Quiet Haven closing the door behind himself.
"Hope meeting this stranger is worth it, I hate how desperate I am for social connection..."
Mr. Puzzles sat on his knees infront of a gravestone, he spent quite awhile tracking it down, he just stared down at it, leaving about ten different flowers, and planting them in the ground, giving them water. normally he hated getting dirty, but for this he didn't mind it.
He took a deep baited breath as he looked down at the grave.
"Happy Mother's Day... I wish we got to spend more time together. I WISH I could remember your face, but I'm here now,
"I'm sorry if I didn't grow up to be the man you would have wanted me to be."
"But while you were there, well thoes were the best years of my very early life, thank you."
I don't think people really realize how mentally unstable in the head Mr. Puzzles really is when he cut off his head to replace as a TV.
Can you even imagine? Being subjected to an endless cycle of abuse and neglet by your father with clearly an absence of a mother who never truly showed what love means to you? For goodness sake, she wasn't even in his life.
Picture it. One day in a life where you can't take it anymore, you walk into a dark and stale place where you grab a chainsaw and decapitate yourself. It is proven that you are alive at least 5 seconds right after you are to get your head cut off. Clean off too? Puzzles's head was obviously all the way off his neck, so he must've been still conscious as it hit the ground before he quickly put his TV head on, unless, he managed to connect his brain in some internal areas which is to why he can still speak, move, and think clearly...but I'm sure it's still fucked up. I'd like to think he infact did connect his wires to his veins, arteries and other areas to still keep some blood and functioning organs. But just think of it. You're gushing out blood constantly and the excruciating pain in which you'd still keep a smile? Yes, people say Puzzles is damaged and has human, heartfelt emotions but many tend to forget how psychotic this man became in the many different aspects of art, and boy would I enjoy seeing more of it.
"has anyone else noticed these... strange completely black holes in reality? it's like a portal to somewhere, but you can't see inside them, and they can only be found in certain places, mainly the darkest ones, I've tend to noticed them appearing around spots or people with death and tragedy."
"How utterly bizarre."
"and... a bit... terrifying ecpially that damn music box that keeps playing..."
"I swear one time I saw someone staring back at me, all I saw was pink."
