Imagine the gang meeting up with the Triplets and Sherry’s crew post-Chorus.
They crash land, of course, on ANOTHER ice planet. Repairs need to be made, but they lack the equipment and parts. Fortunately, the ship’s scans indicate a base nearby with pertinent supplies.
Caboose has wandered off with Freckles by that point, though, so the gang breaks up into search parties to find him.
Wash finds Caboose with some oddly familiar troops, and holy shit it’s Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho, and you guys couldn’t tell me you were dropping out of the Project BEFORE lunch, I spent my entire lunch break looking for you guys, but I guess it was for the best because the Project was really messed up (btw, Connie died after trying to do the right thing, I took out Command, Carolina killed the Director, and we’re the only agents lefts so yeah, you guys really dodged a bullet there; also, my head is messed up from an AI so there’s that too).
Wash radios in his find, the gang arrives, and Sherry’s crew launches an attack because reinforcements this late in the conflict is SO NOT COOL. Sarge immediately recruits her and her boys on the behalf of Red Team. Doc and Donut manage to snag Idaho, who is feeling like the third wheel of a third wheel, and Wine and Cheese Hour has never been better, they could probably open up a bar with cocktails and ideal food pairings. So they do.
Grif is their biggest customer.
Idaho also occasionally bonds with Simmons over unrequited love that they never had the courage to spit out and how They’d Join Blue Team, But…
Iowa and Caboose hit things off at the start, but as soon as Wash enters the picture, the most incomprehensible and hazardous-to-everyone-around-them war ever seen in the history of ever begins. Wash reminds them that he can have more than one friend. They point out that you can only have one BEST friend. Wash threatens to make Tucker his best friend if they don’t stop fighting and destroying vital equipment. Caboose and Iowa instantly band together to point out every single reason why Tucker is The WORST Possible Friend EVER (Of All Time).
Iowa and Caboose thus bond over trash talking Tucker. Constantly. Tucker has no escape or break from it now. Wash, dude, what the fuck, why would you tell them that??? They keep putting mustard in my sheets not cool man.
Ohio would be Blue Team’s Sarge, poking at the other team until hostilities break out.
Sarge would be straight-up ecstatic because now not only is his arbitrary antagonism reciprocated, it’s anticipated!
Wash and Carolina focus on fixing the ship, in between mediating conflicts and friendship things. Lopez helps, but only with the ship.
Eventually the ship gets fixed and the gang leaves… sans the Triplets and Sherry’s crew because it sounds like the rest of the universe sucks and at least on Snowball they have a purpose. A stupid one maybe, but they made it for themselves.
The gang promises to visit again, and to send various requested supplies, like a chocolate fountain and a brand new wine cellar (fully stocked ofc).
Sarge sends a robot army that no one knows how to assemble because he took out the directions.
