BANG THE DRUMS OF SLURP!!!!!!!

Now look at some people here, like what are those OUTFITS-? The Save the World Reality had much style I'll be honest-

You probably don't recognize me now, but...

It's me. Slurpentine. Surely you remember that name...

Look I know it's been ages, and I still don't entirely trust you, but...I have a favor to ask of you. I'm...God this is embarrassing- I'm going on a date with someone soon, and I really don't want anything to go wrong. He deserves a break after everything he's been through, and to have that happen...I'd need someone watching out for us.

I heard how you stood guard for Pinkie, so...who better to ask than you?

I'm not asking you to keep everyone out of the fields or anything. Just to keep anyone, or anything dangerous out. Especially those sideways monsters, they've been popping up everywhere again...

Do you think you could do that for me? Please..?

CHUGGUS DOES NOT RECALL ANYONE LIKE YOU--!!

?? !!! ??? ?!

SLURPENTINE!

CHUGGUS IS VERY HAPPY TO SEE SLURPENTINE IS OKAY, CHUGGUS WAS TOLD THAT YOU WENT MISSING DURING A MISSION AND THEN THE ISLAND CHANGED SO CHUGGUS WASN'T SURE HE'D EVER SEE YOU AGAIN.

Oh.

Slurpentine must not trust Chuggus because he is shouting! Chuggus almost forgot that Slurpentine likes when he uses his quiet voice. Chuggus will do this.

Mhmmm, Chuggus see!

Chuggus happy to hear Slurpentine is doing fun things on days off and even though Chuggus isn't supposed to do pro bono jobs because Agent Chaos will not be pleased, Chuggus will do this for Slurpentine like he did for Soft Man.

Off days-? No Chuggus I...I don't work for them anymore, okay? It's a very long story, and I don't know if you'd understand...

*Her blood ran cold at the mention of him. Already was she feeling that this was a mistake, if there was a chance Chuggus would reveal where she's been all this time.*

No. Please. Don't mention any of this to him. This favor never happened, and we never met up as far as he knows, okay..?

*Chuggus, despite the helmet covering his face, clearly stares with a look of confusion. Maybe Ava simply knew how to read his expressions still after all this time, the way his head tilted to the slacked jaw of his helmet.*

*Yet, the second compensation is mentioned something seems to happen in his brain and he clicks back into his pliant and cheery outlook.*

Oh, Chuggus understands the favor now! Don't worry, Chuggus will keep this top secret even from the boss. Chuggus will keep Slurpentine and her date safe from far away, Chuggus will even dress different for it.

I...I know you don't. I'm sorry, and I can try to explain it as best I can later. I promise...

*Of course she could still read his expressions. It was the only way she could tell what that man was thinking back then, if he wasn't shouting to the heavens about his every thought.*

*She wished she could explain herself to him, she really did, but how was she supposed to tell a still-brainwashed man that the organization he was so loyal to was evil? That his dear superiors saw him as nothing more than a pawn? She couldn't, and the guilt was written all over her face.*

Sometime after the date is over, okay..? I'll tell you then...

You will..? Thank you, thank you really I don't mean to make you lie to him, but...

I'm still scared of him, okay? Terrified actually, haha...

*He blinks, unseen, and his head tilts impossibly more before he perks back up and he nods as if making a decision in his head. The slurp in his tank gurgles in protest to the movement.*

Chuggus will pretend he didn't hear that! Chuggus happy to help and will begin preparing for favor, let Chuggus know whenever and he will be there.

*He slaps his palm against the jaw of the helmet at her worry, laughing softly.*

*She winced at the metallic thud against his jaw, the memories of how he'd gotten it all too prevalent in her mind. If she had just pushed through her injuries that day...*

*His laugh brought her back to the present moment, with those words echoing in her mind. She remembered just how harshly he'd been treated after such a failure, and yet he'd risk everything for her again..?*

*The absurdity of it was enough to make her laugh herself. It was probably the first time Chuggus had ever seen her smile...*

You're insane, y'know that? I just hope it doesn't come to that again...

*His own words are in one ear and out the other, alongside the memories of pain and torture that come with the recollection of his most prominent injury. Well, the most prominent one he got while working with her.*

Big Chuggus is whatever he needs to be!

*He slams his fist to his chest with pride at the sentence and he opens his maw to continue rambling on as he does but hearing her real name stops him in his tracks. It's...familiar and after gulping dryly he opens his mouth again.*

Ava...Chuggus like Ava! Chuggus has a real name too! It's-It-Chuggus uh, no, it's sssssomething...Son--

*He hiccups violently and while he manages to keep the bile in his throat inside, slurp still bubbles and spills around the edges of his jaw.*

Heh, it's good to see you're still joyous and proud as ever...Thought working for them would've taken all the whimsy out by now.

You..remember it? I didn't think they would-

*It took every bit of her will not to look completely terrified of whatever the hell had just happened. As much as she tried to cover up her concern with a smile, it was still clear as day...*

I'm um-! Fine with just calling you Chuggus, don't worry..! Don't gotta force yourself to tell me that, haha...

*Somewhere, down in his mind, there's a simmering rage at people he can't understand.*

Okay, Ava. Uhh, Chuggus really happy to see you and know you're okay, Chuggus was worried a lot...

I'm real happy t' do this for ya,

*He admits to his worries this time with a little more hesitance, as if he's saying things he's not supposed to.*

You probably don't recognize me now, but...

It's me. Slurpentine. Surely you remember that name...

Look I know it's been ages, and I still don't entirely trust you, but...I have a favor to ask of you. I'm...God this is embarrassing- I'm going on a date with someone soon, and I really don't want anything to go wrong.
