Not So Simple (Root Pack x Reader)

Chapter 3: Hectic Party

(((Y/N)'s POV))

Holy crap! I am so dead. In front of me, holding my body up in the air was the largest flower I  have ever seen. Also the angriest flower that I have ever seen. Around my waist was a thorny vine digging into my sides. 

"Yeah that's me. Now what exactly did I hear you say about my 'floral fury.'" He glared daggers at me and I felt the vines tighten. 

"W-w-well umm-" I looked to Djimmi and Beppi, but they both looked just as terrified as I probably did and offered no assistance. 

"Because heheh if you were. I would squeeze you so hard your fleshy insides would start to leak out of your head," He growled. 

Ok now you were terrified. 

Suddenly I felt myself floating from the carnation's now lose grasp and being set gingerly on the ground. I  looked over the flower's shoulder to see a large carrot with, three eyes? Ok did Beppi put something in my coffee this morning again because this is the weirdest evening I have ever had. 

"Cagney that is no way to speak to a guest." the carrot stated. Upon seeing the root veggie behind him the thorny vine that was holding me aloft sank back into the ground. Cagney glared at the veggie, clearly not happy with being interrupted. 

"Go back to your meadow and get yourself some water to cool down. Honestly you need to see someone about your anger issues." He mumbled that last part under his breath and shooed the flower away. 

"Tsk. Fine. Not worth the trouble anyway." Cagney sank into the ground, presumably to pop up again near the supposed meadow. (Just imagine Flowey's animation, this is how I imagine the plants moving around.)

The carrot, after making sure Cagney wouldn't come back to cause more trouble, turned his gaze to us, now with only two eyes.  

"Sorry about that. Cagney can... overreact to what other people say about him. Are all of you alright." 

"I t-think so. Thank you." I looked down at my skuffed up arms then back to the carrot. "Who are you if you don't find me asking?"

"OH! Not at all. Name's Psycarrot. Just call me Psy." He said as he held out a hand for me to shake.

"I'm (Y/N)." I replied shaking his hand. Psy seemed to study me for a moment, then took a look behind me. 

"Well now I see what all the fuss was about," Psy chuckled. "Beppi you should know better after Cagney almost popped you."

"It wasn't me this time ok! Hmph." He crossed his arms and pouted. Djimmi waved slightly, clearly feeling awkward. 

"*sigh* Either way, i'd avoid Cagney for a while, wouldn't want any of his threats to be put into action." I shivered at that statement. Yeah no thank you, I want my insides to stay that way. Inside. 

"The party at the cupbrothers house if you didn't know. Your heading the wrong way." Everyone in our group looked at Beppi. 

"Beppi, did you know where the party was at." Djimmi asked, looking kind of stern.

"Hey don't look at me like that! At least I knew what Isle it was on." He frowned. Are you kidding me, I was almost torn to bloody bits by a psychotic flower and all because Beppi didn't know where we were supposed to go in the first place! 

"Ok that's. Fine. Psy, can you show us the way to the cup brother's place." Djimmi resolved. 

"Sure, I can. That's kinda why i'm here." 

"Huh?" We all were a tad confused. 

"Mugman told me that he forgot to give you all an address on your invitation. So I offered to fetch you," Psy said with a shrug. "It was a good thing I did. Or else you might not have ever made it."

"Oh! Well thank you."

It didn't take long for us to get to the party now that we had a compatint guide. We all made small talk along the way and I found out that Psy has a garden of his own where he grows carrots and other vegetables for sale. I guess I gave him an odd look at some point when he said that because he laughed and informed me that the produce he sells is not sentient. 

When we arrived Beppi and Djimmi were met with a huge crowd of seemingly random people, all greeting them with smiles and other friendly banter. There were two frogs, a blue blob, a rat with a german accent, and many many more. 

I made my way out of the thick crowd to the snack table and got myself a little bit of punch. There were a pair of boys running around talking with pretty much everyone, one was wearing red shorts and had a little red nose and the other was wearing blue shorts and had a rather large blue nose. 

After eavesdropping a little on their conversations I heard that they were the reason we were having this party in the first place. They did free all these people from the Devil last year. Pretty impressive for a couple of cups. 

I stuck to the snack table, I didn't really know anyone here. Djimmi and Beppi have gone off to do who knows what. Psy is nowhere to be seen, which is saying something because he's huge. 

I had just taken a sip of my drink when I heard something in the woods behind me. It sounded like sniffling. Knowing I wouldn't be needed at the party for a while I went to investigate. 

As I went deeper into the small woods around the cup family's house the sniffling grew louder into sobs. Was someone hurt or being attacked?

I exited the woods into a small open field overlooking the sea. And I met the source of the sobbing.

And cliffhanger! Literally!! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I tried to make it a little longer than the ones before. 

Sorry I didn't update at all last week I was on vacation.
