Chapter Text

007n7 was sitting on the couch with tired eyes, his head at an angle as it rested on his palm, he was extremely bored. His hat was to his side, and the TV remote on the other. Looking at the ticking clock, it had just turned noon.

“... Finally.” He said, impatient and waiting for something to come up. Today was very uninteresting.

It was a Friday, and it was no different from the past days of the week, it was uninteresting. 7n7 watched youtube, he played small games with his son, he did his usual daily activities, but it was all getting stale.

As 7n7 sits on the red cushions of the furnishing, he drifts off into a nap… That is until his eyes shoot wide open as he hears the sound of glass shattering from another room, the kitchen.
He woke straight up. He sighed, he knew his son was the cause of the noise, and sure enough confirming it, he heard complaining that was directed to him, complaining to get his attention.

“DAAAAAAD.”

Making his way to the kitchen, the first thing he sees is the big red frowning boy, c00lkidd. c00lkidd turned to his father and whined: “Dad, I broke the bowl!”

“Of course,” said 7n7, “it's alright, just grab me the broom.”

c00lkidd nodded, running off to the nearby closet holding the house's cleaning supplies.
7n7 looks at the counter and sees a box of cereal which causes a change of a blank expression to one of curiosity.

Once c00lkidd returned, he handed the broom to his Dad, which 7n7 gladly took. As 7n7 started sweeping, he asked his son why he chose to eat cereal at this time of day.

“I was hungry.” spoke the child, now smiling.
“But this is breakfast food?” replied 7n7.
“We don't have any other food though, and I am starving.”
“What?”

7n7 was confused, what does c00lkidd mean? Are they really out of food?

After dumping out the glass from the broom and putting it aside, 7n7 looked through the cupboards, there was nothing.
Then he turns to the fridge, opening it, and again, nothing but the basic drink options such as water and milk.
Oh, and vegetables too, but that's unsurprising.

7n7 backed away from the fridge door, closing it. He sighed, knowing it was going to just be another one of those days. His head turned to his son who was staring back at him with a casual stupid smile.

Seeing the hungry boy, 7n7 had a really bright idea!

“Hey, how about we go out to eat?” said the father with a small smile.
“Eat? Wait really!?” c00lkidd asked happily, he was tired of the house too, and this would make his day. He loves going out to places.
“Mhm! We should definitely go out and have a good meal.”

c00lkidd cheered and ran around the kitchen in response, he was super excited. He even starts bouncing around.

7n7 chuckled, happy to see his boy happy.

“Food? Can I come?” Spoke a new voice from the kitchen window.

The window was wide open because of how nice it was outside, and the only thing in the way was a window screen. Standing behind it was Bluudud, bright blue as ever.

“What- Bluudud, why are you here?” 7n7 asked curiously.
“Hi Bluudud!” Shouted c00lkidd happily. He was also waving.

“Oh, I am here with Pr3typriincess!” Bluudud replies to 7n7, completely ignoring c00lkidd.
“She wants to join me on my stream tomorrow, so I came over to her house to teach her how to act like a streamer.”

That sounds about right to 7n7, he understands and doesn't push further on with any related questions. But then a new and important question forms in his head, in which he asks right away.

“Where is she now?” If Bluudud is here, then Pr3typriincess must be close by.
“On your roof.”
“On my roof?.”
“She saw a very pretty squirrel, so she went onto your roof to make it even more pretty.”

7n7 face palms.

“Can I see it?” c00lkidd shouts happily.
“No.” replied Bluudud.
“Why?”
“Because you're stupid.”
“HEY!”
7n7 then steps in their bickering and shuts it down with a quick: “ENOUGH!”

Both of the kids immediately freeze from parental power that 7n7 wields; their heads turning to face him.

For a minute, the kids mutter unintelligible words under their breaths, annoyed, but then Bluudud goes silent for a few seconds, before speaking up with a happy tone.
“So can I come with you to get some food?” Bluudud says.
Just then, Pr3typriincess falls from the roof and lands next to Bluudud. She stands up from the grassy floor and rubs the spot of her head that took the impact of the fall.
“Can I come too?” She asked.

7n7 gives them a very unamused glare, but then turns his attention to c00lkidd.

“Well, champ, your call. Do you want them to come along?”

c00lkidd thinks to himself, his hand taking hold of his own chin. He is playfully making this decision more serious than it needs to be.

Pr3typriincess makes a yawn in response. “What's taking you so long to decide. You should be respectful and take me along.”

“But first, me over her obviously.” Bluudud says.
“Rude.”

c00lkidd takes the spotlight once again when he purposely thinks out loud with a “HMMMMMMMMM.”

But then, he continues on with a real answer!

“Papa, they can come! But only if they get the small drinks.” His fists set on his hips as he smiles wider with his proud decision.

Pr3typriincess and Bluudud immediately shout, both of them spitting out words of disapproval with annoyed tones backing them up.

c00lkidd laughs.

“c00lkidd, don't say that. Be nice.” 7n7 says.
“My head is pounding.” He continues. He could care less about what portion of food the others get, he just hates all of this noise.

Both Bluudud and Pr3typriincess stop, they apologize to 7n7.

“Thank you,” says 7n7.
“You both are allowed to get big sodas.”

The two kids outside the window cheer, and Bluudud sticks his tongue out at c00lkidd. c00lkidd crosses his arms with a “hmph.”

c00lkidd does not care what Bluudud or Pr3typriincess gets at all, he just wants the last laugh in his pettiness.

007n7 takes a deep breath, the sweet silence and the pleasant smell quickly filling him up with calmness.
“Alright, come on. Let's head to the car.”
7n7 pats c00lkidd's back, the three kids cheer and run to 7n7's car that sits in the driveway.

Once 7n7 leaves the home, the three kids are already next to the car door's passenger seat. Bluudud is repeatedly pulling on the handle door.

“Kids, kids. Enough!” 7n7 approaches the car with a smile.
“It's locked, and besides, you Bluudud” He points to Bluudud, and then to Pr3typriincess, “And you, both have to sit in the back.”

“Whyyyy?” Pr3typriincess questions.
“Because the passenger seat is for my son, and I am not leaving him in the back with either of you. I know I will be hearing a fight.”
“Finnnneee.”

7n7's eyes suddenly widen. “I forgot my keys! And my hat!”

7n7 runs inside.

The three kids stand outside.

“Awkwaarrrrd.” Bluudud says.

Bluudud then speaks further:

“Don't worry, I have my pro gamer skills. I don't need keys to let us in.”

Bluudud makes his way to the backseat door on his side of the door. He puffs up his chest, cracks his knuckles, then punches the car door handle with full force.
c00lkidd and Pr3typriincess jump back.

Pr3typriincess covers her mouth.
“That's a giant indent!”
“Oops” Bluudud responds. Frozen in fear.
“Ooooh! I'm telling dad!” c00lkidd says, butting in.

But before anything else can be said; “MY CAR!!!”

7n7 was on the porch, his face shadowed.
Step. Step. Step. 7n7 walked closer to the kids, all three cowering in fear.

After what felt like doomsday with each step, 7n7 stood in front of the colorful trio. It was unclear how he felt.

“c00lkidd?”
“No, no! It wasn't me! Promise! I don't do that anymore!”

Bluudud rose his hand, he was visibly shaking at the menacing presence.

“It… was- me! Sorry! I t-thought I could open the door myself.”

007n7 then reacted in a way that the kids didn't think he would. He dropped on his knees, his face in his hands, and he groaned loudly.

The trio looked at each other with worried looks, each having thought processes of feeling bad.

Pr3typriincess then walked up to 7n7 and helped him up, patting his back.

7n7 sighed hard, when he was fully standing up, he took a big deep breath.

“Sorry, I thought I was done with the car problems awhile ago. I guess not…”

“So how are we going to get there?” asked c00lkidd.

“And what restaurant were we even going to head too?” asked Pr3typriincess.

“Well, I was hoping to ask yall in the car as we were driving… but since we can't take the car, we will have to use the C00lgui.

“YAAAAY!” the kids shouted, always happy when 7n7 pulls out the gui, which he rarely does.
“Don't get excited, this is just a one time thing.” responds 7n7

“Let's go to Builder Brother's pizza!” Shouts Pr3typriincess.
“Idiot, they are banned from there!” Bluudud responded.

c00lkidd speaks: “I'm sure they won't mind us coming back if we act nicely!”

“No, c00lkidd, that's not how it works and that's not going to work.” 7n7 replies.

“Or, we could break in!” Bluudud says jokingly.

“Oh my lord.” 7n7 facepalms.

“Please.”
“Please.”
“Please.”

c00lkidd repeats over and over. Bluudud then joins in.

“Please.”
“Please.”
“Please.”

“Stop it-” 7n7 tries to respond but he gets cut off when Pr3typriincess joins in.

“Please-”
“Okay!” 7n7 shouts, then recollects himself, talking calmer.
“We will check if we can go to Builder Brother's Pizza this one time.”

Once again, the usual happy reaction bursts from the trio that previously had surrounded 7n7 with their constant begging.

7n7 pulls out the C00lgui.

“Let's go.”

And just like that, the group dissappears, chaos following. But not just from the kids…

The words “Builder Brother's Pizza” are heard from the bushes near the house, and out from the bushes pops put Mafioso and two of his goons.

“A good place to recollect the debt they owe me!”

“Ready your weapons soldiers, these folks are mine!”

Chapter Text

Popping into the parking lot of the Builder Brother's Pizza, 7n7, c00lkidd, Bluudud, and Pr3typriincess, all have different reactions.

7n7 is not excited. c00lkidd on the other hand is very excited, and super hopeful that they can get in, eat some pizza, and have fun causing chaos.

Pr3typriincess, other than being hungry, wants to make the place look a lot nicer.

And Bluudud, he wants to record a live stream rating the pizza. He thinks about how he could get some views on such a video.

7n7 reluctantly walks up to the front doors with the kids following him from behind. When 7n7 puts his hand on the door, he turns to the children.

“Please, wait out here.”

c00lkidd responds “Why?”

“Because I want as much as a chance to talk with the staff as possible, and if I bring any of you in, I won't have any chance!”

“Just take the gamble.” Bluudud says.
“First, no, absolutely not. Second, that was kind of clever, I'll give you that. But this is not the time.”

7n7 then enters through the doors. Immediately, the only pizza man at the cashiers notice 007n7. His face with fear, then it turns to annoyance.

7n7 walks up to the counter with his hand on the back of his head. His expression nervous. The people in line are confused.

Elliot immediately grabs his phone, but 7n7 shouts “Wait!” and runs up to the counter. 7n7 knows Elliot was going to get the manager out here.

“Listen! I'm sorry to bother you” 7n7 speaks. But could I please have this one day off the ban, my s-”

“No! You're banned! Haven't you caused enough trouble?” Elliot says, his own annoyance surpassing the annoyance in the murmurs of those in line.

“Fine, could I at least have two pizzas to go?”
“What part about being banned don't you understand?”
“I didn't bring my son in the building, please?”
“Then why are there three of them??” Elliot points behind 7n7 with an unamused look.

7n7 turns around, letting out a small cuss.

“Hi dad!” c00lkidd waves.
“Oooh, You swore!” Bluudud giggles.
“How unprofessional.” Pr3typriincess says, crossing her arms.

7n7 turns back to Elliot.
“I left them outside, I promise.”

Elliot gives a big sigh. He can see that 7n7 isn't purposely trying to make a mess.
“... Only this one time. But you have to wait outside! And after everyone in line gets their order!”

“Boo!” shout a few people in line, annoyed that a banned individual is getting his way, especially after making everyone wait longer.

Suddenly, a new voice erupts, but not from the crowd, from the kitchen door.
“Why are you in here!?”

It was the manager, all hope 7n7 had was instantly crushed.

“You're banned! And you come back with THREE OF THEM? You didn't expect this to be allowed!?”

The manager was very unhappy, not up to putting up with anything from 7n7.

7n7 had his hands up in front of him, he backed up, fearing the berating.

“Don't be mean!” Shouted Pr3typriincess.
“Come on kids, we're not getting our pizza.”
“But you could talk some sense into him!”
“No! I'm not going too!”

“Ugh! So close! I am hungryyy.” Bluudud complains.
“Well you can eat somewhere else, brat!” replies the manager.
“But, pizza!”

“Kids! Stop complaining.” 7n7 turns towards the door.
“C00LKIDD NO!”

“CORRUPT NATURE!”

Nobody else who was facing the manager and Elliot could turn quickly enough to see what c00lkidd was doing, as they had their attention lock onto the flying beautifully jagged square brick flying straight at the manager's head at 15 miles per hour.

THUMP

Everyone but the kids gasped, the whole room going either silent or others freaking out. Elliot stood frozen in shock, and 7n7 almost followed along, but then he quickly took out $800 from his wallet as a sorry and slammed it on the counter.

“SORRY! COME ON KIDS!”

7n7 then books it, running out of the pizzeria doors. c00lkidd innocently followed behind, and so did Bluudud who got a quick picture, and Pr3typriincess.

At top speeds, 7n7 runs down through the parking lot, and then through the sidewalk down the road, the others following behind.

But on the opposite side of the road, Mafioso and his crew drive in with a car.

“THEY'RE THEY ARE!” Shouts Mafioso, quickly stepping on the gas and driving down the road. “I'M GONNA KNOCK THEIR TEETH OUT.”

Once 7n7 turns a corner around a building, he immediately pulls out the C00lgui to teleport him and the kids somewhere random around the area, away from the scene.

Luckily for him, he unknowingly dissappears just before the Mafia members could make their turn, leading to them not seeing where 7n7 went.

“Dangit! They're gone!” shouts Mafioso, annoyed.
His whole crew follows along in unhappiness with their own noises.

“Phew. Now that that's over, we can all just forget about it.” speaks 007n7, one of his eyes twitching as he tries to put on a smile.

“Fatherrrrr, I'm still hungry!” complains c00lkidd.

“Hey, look, a Mickey D's” Bluudud says, pointing across the street.
“Oh yay, I love McDonald's!” c00lkidd shouts!
“Of course you do, fatty.”

“Stop it!” 7n7 says calmly. “Let's just head to the McDonald's.”

7n7 walked across the road, the kids following. “Oh, and Bluudud?” 7n7 speaks.
“Yeah?”
“Don't call McDonald's how you called it, it sounds icky to me.”

Once everyone got inside, the kids all were running around and shouting their orders, and once done, they all ran to the play place to mess around. 7n7 on the other hand went up to the counter to order.

“Weee! I love this castle!” c00lkidd shouts, imagining it to be his kingdom.
“If it's a castle than I am your queen!” Pr3typriincess says confidently
“Well I am king!” c00lkidd says, even more confidently.

“Please, you're barely even a peasant.” Bluudud mocks.
“Hey!”

“Settle down, peasants, we will settle this with a game!” Pr3typriincess speaks.

“Pff- I'm good at games.” Bluudud says, this will be too easy for him-

“Tag!” Bluudud knows he's done for. He immediately crawls away at top speeds.

“I will tag you!” c00lkidd says, dashing through the tubes of the dirty quote on quote castle.

“And they're off, and I didn't even get to pick the roles! Ah well, now I get the highest point of the play place to myself! Yesss!” Pr3typriincess says happily, pumping her arm.

Through the colorful tubes, past the nets and games, c00lkidd gets closer and closer to Bluudud.

“Calm down! It's just a game!” Bluudud shouts, sweating.
“But I'm it! I'm it I'm it I'm it!” c00lkidd replies happily.

They both pass a window, but c00lkidd crawls backwards and presses his face up against the window.

“HIII DAD!” c00lkidd bangs on the plastic.

7n7 is sitting at a table, using his phone while waiting for the food, unaware of the red bundle of joy trying to get his attention.

7n7 hums, not hearing a single bit of anything c00lkidd is saying.

“DAAAD! DAAAAD! HIII! HII! PAPA! PAPA! FATHHERRR! FATHHHHERRRR!”

After a whole minute, c00lkidd crosses his arms and pouts. He was ready to bust this plastic down, but then through the cracks in the pipe he was in, he saw a blue glow, and it was in the pipe above him.

c00lkidd immediately rushed his way around the play place, trying to find his way to Bluudud. And eventually he does, but there is only one problem, Bluudud was with Pr3typriincess.

Pr3typriincess then speaks like royalty “And the winner is Bluudud, you failed to catch him, c00lkidd!”
“Aww, I got distracted.”
“Yeah, whatever.”

“Loser.” Bluudud snickered.
“Hey!” c00lkidd says with a frown.
“Don't know what to tell ya, I'm just the strongest, the brightest, and the shining example.” Bluudud continued.

“You know what, tag!” c00lkidd jumps at Bluudud and hits him with a few pathetic slaps.
“Oh, it's on!” Bluudud says challengely with hatred.

Both of them rapidly slap each other's hands; Pr3typriincess watching with interest.

Bluudud then slaps c00lkidd in the face, hard.

“Owww! You hit! me!”
“Oh come on, it wasn't that bad.” He says with worry, not wanting to be snitched on.
“I'm telling dad!”

c00lkidd rushed through the tunnels, Bluudud following behind with the intent of convincing c00lkidd to stop. And Pr3typriincess follows behind Bluudud to see where this goes.

c00lkidd quickly enters back to the main area through a slide. But his frown quickly turns to joy as he sees all the beautiful food on the table.

c00lkidd runs up to the table and quickly gets into a seat.

“Hey kiddo, did you have fun?” 7n7 asks with a smile before grabbing some fries.
“Oh, I did! Until Bl-”
“Nothing happened!” Bluudud says, appearing out of nowhere and cutting c00lkidd off.
“Bluudud hit c00lkidd.” Pr3typriincess says with a smile made up of chaotic intent. Bluudud's head slowly turns towards Pr3typriincess.

“Please just sit down and eat. I'll tell Bluudud's mom once we get home.”

Pr3typriincess then makes a comment. “But doesn't his mom think the moon is made out of cheese?”
“It is.” Says Bluudud.
“You really are stupid.”

“Stop arguing and eat.” 7n7 says. The kids stop their bickering and get to their food.
Overall, the group had an enjoyable chat at the table. Of course there is no bonding, that's hopeless, but everyone's day does brighten up.
When the kids know how to behave, they can make for an enjoyable experience. At least an experience better than sitting at home bored.

Once they were finished, they headed out. And luckily, the McDonald's was okay!... mostly. c00lkidd threw away the trash and he accidentally misued his abilities. He set the trash on fire while hitting a slam dunk into the trash barrel. Nobody noticed the fire.

“I really needed that, I haven't had a good meal in a bit.” 7n7 says, happy.
“McDonald's is very good! I'm loving it!” c00lkidd says, spinning with his toy.

7n7 sees a lake and a bunch of ducks.
“Hey kids, you wanna go feed the ducks?”

“Yeah!” Bluudud says, hyped.
“I love ducks, let's do it!” Pr3typriincess cheers.
“Ducks! Ducks! I wanna feed the ducks dad!” c00lkidd speaks excitedly, bouncing in the soft grass that sits adjacent to the stone path into the McDonald's.

“Hehe, okay, okay. We will feed them!” 7n7 says.

7n7 then pulls out $10 dollars and hands it to c00lkidd.
“Go back in for me and hand the cashier this. Ask for fruits and vegetables please.”
“Okay! And bread too?” c00lkidd asks.
“No, not bread. Bread is kind of harmful to ducks, I don't want you to grow up thinking otherwise.”
“Okay, dad!” c00lkidd salutes then runs back into the restaurant.

c00lkidd walks past the tables, the recording customers, and the employees trying to put out the fire in the trash can.

“Hmm, nobody at the counter. Rude!” c00lkidd then sees a few trays of food left on the counter, ready to be served. He leaves the money on the counter and robs the trays of all its cut lettuce, apple slices, and some other lucky finds.

c00lkidd empties a different tray onto another, then takes the newly empty tray and puts all the items on it. He then walks past the panicking employees with the tray and an innocent smile.

After leaving the restaurant, c00lkidd walks up to his father.

“I have the stuff!”
“And the tray? They let you keep the tray?” 7n7 asked, suprised.

In c00lkidd's mind, he was sure that the employees would've said yes and let him keep it for free. So to save time, he says:
“They did! They let me have it for free!”

“Well that's awfully nice of them. Now come on kids! To the pond!”
They all cheer and head on down.

18 minutes later, at a different location in the area, the Mafia were hanging around, thinking of ways to track and find these debtors.

Mafioso was standing over a table with a few of his crew members, until suddenly one of the members came up to him.
“Boss! Look!”

Mafioso looks over at the fellow mafia member, he is being shown a video.
“Why are you showing me a video of a McDonald's trash fire? We have much more important matters.”

But then a familiar red figure walks past in the video.
“It's the kid” says the crew member. “He was at a McDonald's! We can track it down, they should still be in the area!”

“Fantastic find!” Mafioso says with a giant evil grin.
“Track down where that McDonald's is! It is time we finally catch up to them, and make them pay!”
