Tree's P.O.V:

It's so late it's almost early and I couldn't not sleep, so instead I figured I'd browse on my phone when Black Hole just so happened to have been calling. Naturally I answered. 

Tree: Black Hole! You called rather early didn't you.

Black Hole: Early? What do you mean, It's just starting to get dark. I thought I'd call to say goodnight and check on Jr. 

Tree: Where on earth are you?

Black Hole: I'd say somewhere in the most east Europe. 

Tree: That's why it's still light for you, you're on the other side of the planet. 

Black Hole: Oh right! Time zones... 

I lightly chuckle at Black Hole's terrible ability to track time. 

Black Hole: Wait why are you awake if it's so late for you? 

Tree: I think I might have a bit of insomnia cause I cannot sleep. 

Black Hole: In..somnia? 

Tree: It's like a disorder that keeps someone from sleeping well at night.

Black Hole: Oh that must be awful. Well I hope you can figure something out. How's Junior though? Is he at least asleep? 

Tree: Yup, and so is Planty. 

Black Hole: Okay well I already took care of the rifts in this area so I'm free to talk. How was your da-

Black Hole's screen suddenly freezes and his voice cuts off, I fumble with mine hoping it's not my phone acting up.

Tree: Black Hole? B-Black Hole I think you're breaking up-

The lamp next to my bed then goes out and Black Hole's call gets cut off, as I tried to turn my lamp back on to no avail it was then I knew just what was happening. 

Tree: Aw bark..

I then hear the sound of my door creaking open and spot a small faint light blue lightning bolt shape peeking through the darkness.

Cherry Jr: Da, everything went dark.

I grab a flashlight from my nightstand and point it at Junior as I get out of bed. The boy stood behind the door still holding Serpens close to him. 

Tree: Yeah the power seems to have gone out, I'm going to check if we just blew a fuse. Stay in the living room. 

Meanwhile Liy's P.O.V:

Typical that the city goes into a black out again! Bottle and I were just at Pen's place sleeping over (Bottle's idea) when we both woke up to Bottle screaming due to her night-light going out. 

I had tried to call some of the other Death Pacters but the phonelines seems to have gone with the power. And that is driving Pen up the walls at the moment. 

Pen: *muttering*

Bottle: Dark dark go away!

Liy: CALM DOWN YOU TWO! *sigh* Here.

I hand each of them a spare flashlight and turn on mine when we hear a light knocking on the window. We turn to see Lightning waving at us, it's easy to know it's him because his entire body glows. 

Liy: Any idea what's going on? 

Lightning: The city's powerplant had an accident and the phonelines got taken out by remaining debris. 

Bottle: Oh that's no good. :c

Lightning: Yeah I'm alerting the others to meet at Tree's place. See ya there. 

Yeah of course, Tree's house is usually where we all meet up in an emergency. Lightning flies off to told as he said he was gonna do leaving the three of us in limited light again. 

Liy: Well we know where to go. C'mon guys. 

Pen: Hey Bottle, you ever find it weird how we can see each other's eyes- B-Bottle? Where'd you go?

Bottle: SURPISE!

Pen: Ah-! *laughs* Okay you got me. 

Liy: C'MON!

We take the long LONG flight of stairs to the bottom of the building, I open by truck when I realize the whole street is full of bad traffic due to the black out. 

Liy: Ugh... driving is not an option. 

Pen: *pant pant* I'm NOT walking any.. further..! ugh!

Bottle: Don't worry, I have an ace in my sleeve! *WHISTLE*

Bottle whistles loudly and after a bit of waiting a strange blue horse comes running, the same blue horse she showed up with when the Onemageddon was happening. 

blue horse: NEIGH!

Bottle: Heya buddy! 

Liy: You still have that thing? Uh what's it's name? 

Bottle: Yep yep yep! I found out that my new friend here came from Four's weird dimension, can you believe he actually let me keep it. 

Pen: Wait it belonged to Four? So it's a four horse?

Bottle: Yep! Hop on!

We climb onto the back of this.. Fourse's back with Bottle and she's tells it-he-she whichever to go. 

Bottle: Okay little one, let's go!

Fourse: *snort*

We hold on as the fourse galloped down the street to the suburbs.
