The Squip Squad (BMC/DEH Chatfic #2)

8: Guess Who's Back

Kermit has added the Squip Squad to chat ‘guess who's back’

Kermit: did ya miss me, Richie!?

BiArsonist: go away! I'm already dealing with one Squip. I don't need another one!

Boyf: so...you’re Rich’s Squip, huh?

Kermit: that I am, and you must be Squip 2.00.15’s host Jeremiah Heere.

Imback: you can just call me Sam.

Kermit: aww, they gave you a name, how precious.

Imback: so? You have a name, too.

Kermit: that's because I'm Dark Kermit. That's what Rich calls me anyway.

Imback: I volunteered to get named and I named myself.

Kermit: psh, whatever.

Reinds: ladies, ladies, settle down.

Kermit: what? I'm simply talking to a mere defect of a Squip. An error in our corporation.

Imback: ...well, a-at least my host s-still wants me heere.

Kermit: you sure about that?

Imback: …

Boyf: hey, leave him alone!

Reinds: yeah, he's done nothing wrong!

Kermit: pssh, he's done everything wrong. He failed, he was deactivated.

Boyf: that was his plan!

Kermit: you really believe that lie? That's just a cover up for how much of a failure he is.

BiArsonist has blocked Kermit from the chat

BiArsonist: geez.

JakeyD: he was such a jerk.

Boyf: Squip? Are you ok?

Imback: ...y-yes.

Reinds has added Boyf and Imback to private chat ‘what's wrong’

Reinds: what's wrong, buddy? He hurt your feelings, didn't he?

Imback: ...yeah.

Boyf: hey, don't listen to him, ok? You aren't a failure. You're not a defect. You're not an error.

Imback: I am a defect, Jeremy...I failed you, Jeremy.

Boyf: that’s not true.

ImBack: YES IT IS! You didn’t even end up with Christine! The one goal you gave me! I couldn’t even achieve that…

Boyf: but I ended up with someone that I love just the same. Maybe even more.

Boyf: and i have so many more friends now.

Reinds: c’mon, man. You’re honestly really cool to hang out with.

Imback: i ruined everything...i’m a terrible Squip.

Boyf: Squip, where is all of this self-hate coming from?

Boyf: you are a great Squip. You sacrificed your existence just so I could come out on top. I bet you that no other Squip thought of that. You’re unique, that’s all. And anyone who thinks you’re terrible can fight me.

Reinds: yeah!

Imback: …

Imback: thank you, both of you...i’m sorry you have to put up with me.
