“Blocky, stop this!” yelled Taco.
“You’re not the boss of me Tacster!” replied Blocky.
The signs of something deeper going on always nagged on Teardrops brain, ever since Blocky’s plea for Taco to stay with the group when BFB was going to get canceled. Taco has grown closer to Blocky, but was it just for Woody’s sake?
“You’re such a moron Blocky, you know that Flower will snap you in half if you “borrow” her floral perfume.” Taco said with a small grin on her face.
“What? Concerned for my well-being now?” Blocky asked sarcastically.
Watching the argument from afar, Teardrop felt intrigued on just how they felt about each other, it was the little things that Teardrop noticed, from the way Blocky didn’t shut down Taco’s bickering, to Taco being a bit more calmed about her complaints towards Blocky. It all picked at Teardrops mind until she couldn’t contain it anymore, she needed the answer.
Blocky and Taco act nice-ish to each other. They get in arguments with each other based on the severity of Blocky’s pranks and Woody’s reaction to it, but no one knows they’re in love besides Woody. TD has a hunch though, so she confronts Woody about it (with a picture or note), who freaks out and runs away because he knows but doesn’t want to say it. TD starts to spy on Blocky and Taco, and that night, she catches Taco and Blocky talking, where they admit to each other that it’s hard to keep their relationship a secret before they end in a kiss. Thankfully, Tear brought her camera, and she catches a photo with the flash purposefully on, before running away while Block and Taco are extremely embarrassed and don't know who it was.
The next day, TD woke up and heard quiet bickering and worried voices in the Blocky and Taco’s room next to theirs. Lollipop woke up too along with Teardrop, “What’s going on in there?! I need my beauty sleep.” Lollipop said sassily. Teardrop knew that Lollipop was also suspicious of Blocky and Taco’s relationship with each other. Teardrop was hesitant to show her the picture of them kissing late last night. As she was thinking about giving it to her for Obvious reasons. Lollipop loved gossip and would immediately tell her best friends and probably the whole friend group at that.
Lollipop realized TD was taking too long to give it to her, giving Teardrop a confused look. She finally decided to just grab it out of her hands and gave a ‘I knew it’ look. “I knew it!” exclaimed Lollipop excitedly, She liked being right about things. Teardrop shook her head at Lollipop and gave it back to TD. “What? Ohhhhh~, I won’t tell anyone. Pinky promise!” Lollipop says promisingly.They high five as they agree to go show woody the picture later, As they get up to go talk to their friends and have breakfast.
Since The Power of Two(TPOT) and Battle For BFB(BFB) have been over for a couple months, everything has calmed down a whole ton. The exitors, BFBers and TPOTers came to join and live in the same place, Yoyle city. They’ve brought the place back to life, a quarter of it at least. People are making new friends, homes, businesses, and new lives. Block has a TV show, ‘Blocky’s Funny Doings International’, flower has a movie theater so that people can watch the reruns of BFB and BFDI. There are many new places along with that, multiple restaurants like Gelatin’s Steakhouse and many more.
The numbers moved back home to the equation playground, 4, x, and 2 sometimes come to visit, they say that we should visit the equation playground sometime to meet all their friends. But everybody is doing better than ever!
Back in Blocky and Taco’s room, the worried banter is still happening. It has been going for a solid hour now.
“Who took that picture? Did they know before? Are they going to tell everything to the others?!” Taco said, panicked and pacing fast.
“It will be fine, we just need to find who took that picture, if they told anyone else, and stop it from spreading to everyone else.” Said Blocky, somewhat calmly.
“How are you so calm right now?! Somebody is gonna find out?!” yelled Taco, now super stressed and breathing heavily.
“Calm down, it’s not that bad if people figure it out, right? Blocky said.
“I-I-I guess? I just don’t know how they would react…” Taco said, falling into Blocky’s arms. Blocky just smiled at Taco, “you’re so pretty, you know that?” Blocky said flirty.
“T-Thanks” Taco replied, blushing like a tomato. They shared a passionate kiss…
Which was quickly interrupted by a Loud knocking at their door by Woody, with him yelling “It’s time to get up! It's 11 for goodness sake!” They hear him leave and can’t hold back laughing from shock. They eventually get up and say goodbye to flirting for the day. Taco and Blocky walk to different places for breakfast, which is more like lunch at this point.
As Woody is walking down the hallway, he sees Lollipop and Teardrop running towards him and yelling his name. He jumps to the side of the hallway as they hit the carpet floor of their permanent hotel home. “Sorry! We need to talk to you in private and it’s important!” Lollipop said, now panting. “Uhmmm- yeah! We could do that but catch your breath first please”. After Lollipop and Teardrop catch their breath they walk in silence to Woody’s room.
“Do you share this room, or are you alone?” Asked Lollipop
“I got my own room, sharing rooms causes anxiety for me. Plus I get my own space to myself”.
“I understand where you're coming from, it’s nice sometimes.”
TD nudges Lollipop to remind her about why they came in here in the first place.
“Oh! Right, this might be straight forward but… is Taco and Blocky dating or are they into each other? TD spied on them late last night and saw them kiss before they went back to bed.” Lollipop asked, TD nodding next to her.
“... They are together, they haven’t told anyone but me. Don’t tell anyone. They will kill you and me both, Oh and TD.” Replied Woody, halfway serious.
“Don’t worry, we won’t, right Teardrop?” Said Lollipop
Teardrop nodded, Smiling knew they could trust Lollipop 100% now.
Back with Taco and Blocky, they were fighting while playing with their friends on their way to go see a movie at a flower and announcer’s movie theater. Lollipop, Woody, Blocky, Taco, and TD walked in to watch The battle for the BFB. Lollipop was excited to see Flower today but she was working on her fashion line and making some new dresses. As they walk in, Announcer jumps in and starts up a conversation.
“Hello, what are you all planning to watch today?” he said loudly in his robot, speaker voice.
“AH! Turn your volume down man!” Woody shouted as he started shaking.
“Sorry Woody.” Announcer said.
“Anyway… we’re here to watch BFB, but only the first 3 episodes around” Lollipop said in her normal sassy voice.
“You got it, you guys are the only ones here, so enjoy.” He replied.
They sat down and watched the first episode. In the first 15 minutes of the episode, Lollipop was looking over at Blocky and Taco who were already cuddling with one another. In the next 20 minutes TD nudged Lollipop and pointed to Blocky and Taco. They have been cuddling, falling asleep and flirting quietly with each other. They look at each other with a little smirk on their faces as they crack up laughing.
Once they leave the theater, It’s around lunch time. So, they all decided to get take out for lunch, and they head up to the hotel lobby as a group and decide on a game to play together.
“How about truth or dare?” Taco suggested.
“Yeah!” They all shouted, for once Woody shouted with them.
“I will start, truth or dare… Blocky!” Lollipop said, starting without hesitation.
“Uhmmm- Dare!” Blocky said back, not knowing what he’s about to reveal.
“Kiss your crush!” Lollipop said excitedly.
Blocky went red immediately, as he looked over at Taco, He could see she was panicking a little bit.
Blocky leaned over to Taco sitting next to her and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Once he let go, they smiled at each other.
Clapping erupted around the room, with everybody smiling.
“I knew it! I freaking knew it!” Lollipop shouted jumping up and down rapidly.
Lollipop high fived Teardrop.
“W-What do you mean?” Blocky said, confused.
“Your secret relationship. We’ve known about it for a while now.” Lollipop said, “But Woody proved it to us since he was aware”.
“Well we weren’t very good at hiding it anyway, I think it would be nice to tell people about it and not hide it anyway.” Taco said, surprised but calm at the same time.
TD got up and hugged both of them.
