Inside Out

Four was wandering in the forest thinking of a challenge. What could it be?

Different scenarios of challenges fluttered throughout his mind.

Whil in his thoughts, he heard a chrunching noise under his foot.

He raised his leg, and saw a weird looking worm like thing. It squirmed, probably from the pain of being stepped on.

"Oh, sorry little guy." He picked it up and studied it closely.

He noticed what looked like a scar on its body. He brushed his hand against it, and the texture was.. rough. But a weird kind of rough.

Four rubbed his chin in confusion as to what this was.

"Four? Four?" Four could hear X shouting. He turned his head away.

"Yes?" He shouted back.

"Its time for Cake At Stake!"

Four smiled. "Ok little guy. I have to-" The creature was gone. "go." He shrugged and walked away.

After Cake At Stake, Four started to notice some odd things appear on his body. Mainly bumps. Red, tiny dots. He also had this weird bump between his toes. It was painful to touch, but the red dots weren't painful. The red dots reached from his right shoulder to his left. Nothing below.

Four also felt tired, and had this weird mini headache. His stomach felt painful, too.

He groaned as he started to walk over to where all the contestants were patiently waiting for his arrival and challenge for the episode.

"Ok, so, today's challenge is.. Wuh." He grabbed his head after his very unenthusiastic start to his sentence. He physically gagged, and almost fell over.

This sent the contestants into a statement of confusion. Some could care less, others were very worried. Especially X.

"Woah, Four, you alright?" Golf Ball was first to say something.

Four waved him off. "I'm fine. Like, cant you tell?" He said, his body shifting weirdly.

"Four, I think you should get some rest." Donut started. He sighed. "I'll, uh, take over for you as host."

Four shook his head. "Absolutely not. You will not take over as host. But, I think you're all right. I do need some re-uh-est." He finished, almost falling over.

Lollipop gave Four a kind of disgusted, but worried look. He grabbed Fours shoulder, which frustrated Four a bit, and slowly set him down onto the ground.

Four squinted his eyes from the blazing Sun. "J-Just rest Four, I'll continue the episode for you? heh." X scratched the back of his head, a little flustered.

Four shut his eyes, then grabbed X's hand. "Thank you." Then he let go, as he let his body rest.

"You'll be ok?" X asked.

"Yea, I'll survive."

And then the group of contestants regrouped with their teammates, and X started the challenge.

"Four! The challenge is done! B.- Four?" X felt his face go pale.

A huge slimy worm like creature now replaced Four's body, in a bloody mess. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Ho, shit. So, I feel way too hot rn. It's like 80 in my house, and i gotta get some sleep. Fuck.
