Chapter 5: A wacky day (p.2)

The ground trembled as Simon and Cool kept firing bullet after bullet from their tank at 4's Coffees and Bombs.
Somehow, the meme guardian had made the entrance door quite resistent, so the shots wouldn't do much to damage it (Cool made a mental note to investigate on that after this whole story was over).
As the umpteenth bullet was fired, Cool grunted in frustation.
"What the hell Simon, why can't this damn coffee shop get blown up like every other building we throw bombs at?!"
He poured and sat down back into the tank; Simon sighed and hopped off the tank, to go investigate.
As soon as he did that, though, the other SMG3 and SMG4 exited the coffee shop.
They started walking towards the castle, seemingly not noticing the giant tank in front of them.
"Hey!" Simon yelled, pointing his gun at them: "Stop right there, anomalies, you're under arrest!"
The two SMGs turned their heads toward the ex-militar and began running away.
Meanwhile, Cool had also noticed the escape attempt of the two, and had re-directed the tank to aim right at their backs: "EAT SHIT, ANOMALIES."
As he fired different rockets, the two hid behind trees that were promptly destroyed upon impact with the deadly weapons.
"See, Simon? I told you we should have blown them up from the beginning."
The ex-militar kept a smug grin on his face for a few seconds, before realizing that the ground...had began to tremble.
The two men looked each other in the eyes, and then watched in shock as a giant "PINGAS" emerged from the ground.
"Oh poop." Cool whispered, before getting completely blasted, alongside his partner and the tank.
SMG3 and SMG4 emerged from their hiding spot and laughed triumphantly: "I gotta admit it, 4, the white overalls suit you!" "You're not so bad in black yourself, loser."
A few moments later, SMG4 and SMG3 exited the coffee shop, running towards their swapped selves: "You guys were amazing!" 4 yelled, hugging 3 tightly; the purple guardian exchanged the hug, giggling: "Now that those two are out of the way, we can figure out how to get us back to our real world in peace." 3 exclaimed, watching the scene.

SMG4 wanted to do nothing but relax after a day of experimenting and testing out different ways to open up the portal back to his counterpart's world.
It had been a though few hours and he wanted to lay back on his bed and watch memes with eggcat.
As soon as he entered his evil lair, the little critter ran towards him and meowed happily, glad to see his papa again.
The two sat down on the bed, but SMG4 wanted to write a bit in his notebook before unwinding.
So he got up, leaving his phone on the bed alongside eggcat, and walked over to his desk, where he stored the notebook.
He opened the first drawer and looked inside.

...

The notebook was gone.

SMG4 screamed in shock as he frantically began to look around the room.
Maybe he had left it somewhere else and didn't remember?! It wasn't possible, he always kept the notebook in that drawer.
Maybe Lou stole it again? No no, Eggcat would have warned him immediately of the fact that it was missing.
...Why didn't Eggcat warn him?
If someone had stole his most prized possession, his pet would have at least tried to get it back.
He went over to the critter, who was laying on the bed rolling from side to side: "Eggcat, where is the notebook?! Why didn't you tell me it was missing from the drawer??".
The pet stopped its movement and looked at his papa with a confused stare; it meowed a few times and resumed its rolling: "What? No, I didn't take it today when I left the cafe!".
Eggcat looked at him again, with an even more confused stare.
"I didn't even come back here until now, especially with all that happened with SMG3 and SMG-"

SMG4.

His swapped counterpart.

When they had switched clothes to get rid of Cool and Simon, they had told them to stay hidden in 3's evil lair until they heard the explosion.
And if SMG4 was wearing his overalls and his cap, chances were that Eggcat thought it was SMG4.

Which only meant one thing.

That blue and white bitch stole his notebook.
