Chapter Text
I woke up in a new world. It was warm. Much warmer than the void. There wasn't anyone around. Was I alone? I couldn't remember the last time I was alone. Even when I thought I was, Banana was always right there Watching. But he wouldn't be there anymore. He was with the other Wumster. I guess I would just have to set out on my own.
I walked around for a bit. The world seemed to show signs of life, there were some floating trees and some mountain sides had been dug into. I just hoped I would see people. Even after the Old World collapsed, Blue was in the void with me… albeit unconscious. I don't think that she was even there, mentally. I guess being around the Watchers so much gave me the ability to see beyond worlds, I guess. But Blue almost certainly didn't know she was there. I wondered if she was here. While I was lost in my thoughts, I walked into a building. It was a nice little house, reminiscent of Shrub’s house in the Old World. I knocked on the door.
“Hello? Who is it?” Came a voice from inside.
“Hey, uh, I'm lost, and I was wondering if… Shrub?!” I said as the door opened, revealing Shrub.
“Yes, I'm Shrub… who are you?” Shrub asked.
“Shrub… it's me, Wumster. Pesky Pets? Chirp chirp?” I said. Shrub looked at me like I had 7 heads.
“I've never seen you before in my life. I hope you find where you are, but please, go away. Goodbye.” Shrub said before slamming the door. I was dumbfounded. Why didn't Shrub remember me? While I was walking away, I saw someone else. Maybe they would be more helpful than Shrub was.
“Uh, hey!’ I shouted. “Could you maybe help me? I'm a little lost.”
“WUMSTER?” the person shouted.
“Wait, BLUE? You’re here? You remember me?” I said.
“Yeah!!! I'm gonna guess that you saw Shrub?”
“Oh thank the turtles, yeah, I did. What's… what's that all about?”
“I don't know. I've been trying to get her to remember me, but… Wumster, why doesn't she remember?”
“Blue… I don't know. Where’s your house? I wanna live close to you, at least. Pesky Pets for life, I guess. Chirp chirp.”
“Meow, I guess. my house is right over here. I need to be close to Shrub, still. Let's go.”
