It was an ordinary day, and four friends were at their shared apartment they used for hanging out. These four friends were a tall Russian man, a white hedgehog, a blonde, short-haired crossdresser, and a cream cat. These were four of the five members of Team Advanced, Ruv, Silver, Chihiro, and Kat. Team Advanced is a team that helps save the world from evil. The four friends were building a pillow fort while waiting for Pico to return from his walk.

Kat: Careful... Careful... PERFECT!!!!! [The four friends have finished building the pillow fort] I love it! I can live in it forever!

Silver: Probably not forever, but okay!

Kat: Can I go inside? Please?

Ruv: We didn't build it for any other reason.

Kat: Yay! [She went into the pillow fort] Wow! It's way bigger inside than it is outside! I love it! Thanks for helping me build this, you guys!

Chihiro: No problem, Kat!

Silver: Hmm... I wonder where Pico is. I thought he was only going for a walk, but he's been out for an hour now.

Ruv: Maybe he likes taking long walks.

Chihiro: I hope nothing bad happened to him.

Kat: Hmm... I'm sure he's okay! He should be back shortly! [Right on cue, a ginger-haired man walked through the door, looking exhausted. This was Pico, the leader of Team Advanced] Yay! I was right! Hi, Pico!

 This was Pico, the leader of Team Advanced] Yay! I was right! Hi, Pico!

Pico: [He groaned] Hi... [He walked over to the couch and plopped down onto it]

Chihiro: Eh...? Are you okay, Pico? You seem exhausted.

Pico: Don't worry. I'm fine. I just got into another fight with Junkmail. Seriously... I only wanted to take a walk, but I can't even have that, thanks to Junkmail...

Chihiro: We're sorry we weren't around to help, Pico. If we were, you would've taken less time.

Silver: And you would be less exhausted.

Pico: Hey. Don't worry 'bout it. None of us knew Junkmail was gonna attack. [He looked at the pillow fort] Heh. I see you guys built a pillow fort while I was gone.

Silver: Yep! It was Kat's idea!

Kat: We structured it just like our team!

Pico: Huh...? What do you mean, Kat? I don't get it.

Kat: You see, teams are like a pillow fort! They need to have structure! If they don't have enough structure, they'll just collapse! The more structure a team has, the better it is! That's why we're so awesome!

Ruv: Heh. That's the smartest thing I've ever heard you said, Kat. Probably the only smart thing I'll hear you say for a while.

Kat: Thanks, Ruvtazy! [She processed what Ruv just said] HEY!!!!
