#poor pinks

Pinks didn't really know what was happening when he was put into the tank. Y/n was a friend that he made… quite a bit ago; and today they came to his lake, telling him that they had something really big planned! They filled a tank with water from his pond and were able to get him into it, then they started to 'drive'. It was enjoyable to see all of the trees go rushing by, but they wouldn't really answer anything that he was asking.

Pinks trusted Y/n. He trusted them more than anyone else in the whole world. He knew that they wouldn't hurt him, right? There was no way that they would do anything to hurt him for whatever reason… right?

The longer the trip was lasting, the more worried he started to become. The tank was so small and dark. They had to cover it with a blanket so nobody would see him, but he was able to move it a little to peek out, seeing all of the things rush by. They were going so fast… the 'car' bounced sometimes, which caused some of the water to splash out, and they said that they were sorry about that.

He didn't think he minded too much; I mean, it's not like they did that on purpose. It was still shocking each and every time it happened, though. He lets the blanket drop back down and turns in the tank, looking towards the front, asking, "Y/n, where are we going? I'm starting to get kind of nervous…" He decided to be honest with them. He trusted Y/n, but he was still allowed to feel nervous about all of this! Where the heck were they going? 

"Well…" They start, looking forward, "Remember how we spoke about you going back to the ocean one day? I found the best place where we could let you go… you don't have to live in the little lake anymore." Y/n sounded so pleased when they said that. It was like they'd been thinking about this for a while.

Pinks blinks once, then twice, and his sockets widen when he hears that. He sits up more in his tank, the water brushing over his tail. It felt kind of gross since it had been out of the water for a little while. This tank really was way too small for him to stay in, as expected. "What? No, Y/n, I can't go back to the ocean. I've been… h-how would we get to see each other again? The ocean is so big!" He wouldn't know how to get around, how to hunt, and don't even get him started on the fact that there would most likely be things that would try to kill him.

Plus, he would be alone!

"I… don't know, but I'm sure we could work something out. Pinks, that lake isn't good for you, the food is running out. You need to go."

"But I don't want to! I'm happy when I'm around you," he cried. "Y/n, please, I don't want to go." He felt like he was going to have a panic attack. This isn't fair, they talked about it yes, but he thought they would plan it more together, not just… a spur of the moment type of deal. Y/n didn't respond, so he sank deeper into the water, letting out a whimper.

Soon enough the car stopped again and when he peeked out, he saw that they were back at his lake. He blinks once, then twice, and looks over at Y/n who walks over and moves the blanket fully. "I'm… sure we can figure out something else. I'm sorry Pinks." They looked upset with themselves, "I should have asked you before just doing it… forgive me?" they look up at him, their head turned to the side.
