Golf Ball had just been snatched up by Pencil and was being brought over to the far side of Yoylecity. Oh great, how wonderful. She couldn’t tell what she had done to deserve this though. They had both been staying to themselves recently and it wasn’t one of the days where she would be more annoying than usual. It didn’t matter though. She would probably be back where she was supposed to be, at the WTF with the other rule followers, by noon. None of the Freesmarters could stand her, so she had nothing to worry about.
After a while, Pencil reached the van and got inside with her and sat her down. Golf Ball was starting to worry a little bit. Was she getting kidnapped? Oh wait, she remembered, those girls were too much of idiots to do that. They didn’t even have anywhere to keep her captive! As she sat there, Pencil leaned out the door and talked to her alliance members, giggling and acting giddy. GB stared at her for a while and then Ruby and Ice Cube walked in. Ice Cube had a tub of ice cream on her head, neapolitan specifically, and Ruby had confetti, which she immediately showered Golf Ball with.
“Congratulations!”
“... For what?”
Pencil handed her a pink bow, which the members of her alliance wore from time to time when they felt like it. “You’re now officially a member of Freesmart! You should be proud.”
“I’m a what now? Don’t you guys have new members do-”
“Yeah, but you’re chill, so you can just join. And for your first day as a Freesmart member, we’re going to go to that weird nerdy place you like!”
“You mean the science center?”
“Yes, now let’s go!”
Pencil went up to the driver’s seat and started driving over there. Icy handed GB her ice cream as they drove.
Back at the WTF, the boys were missing her. They didn’t have any idea where she had gone. She had said she was just taking a small walk, which would usually only take her an hour, but it had been an hour and a half and she was still gone. Nickel was pacing back and forth as Bomby crossed things off of a list of possible reasons for why she could be gone. Rocky was being useless in this situation.
“Maybe she’s out skiing?”
“No, it’s not snowy here.”
“Doing taxes?”
“Who would she be paying taxes to?”
“Hmm… Oh, maybe she’s at the beach!”
“... Yeah, that makes sense. Rocky, what do you think?”
Rocky nodded.
“Well, I hope she’s having fun.”
GB and the other Freesmarters had spent six hours in the city together, and she had learned a lot about them. The most important thing she learned was that she didn’t want to spend six hours with them ever again. The other thing she learned was that they were all a bunch of greedy dipshits. They kept taking from her tub of ice cream and she barely got any even though it was her present. She hated all of them. She never thought she would think it, but she actually missed the others back in the WTF. They were annoying, sure, but at least they respected her somewhat. And at least they’re polite enough to not be loud in a building full of important scientists, unlike those women. After an hour of driving, they finally got back to Yoylecity.
“You know, GB, as a Freesmart member, you can sleep in here-”
“Nope, bring me back to the WTF this instant.”
“Alright, fine.”
When she was finally dropped off, the others were already inside, trying to go to sleep. She took her usual spot under the blanket and Nickel woke up slightly.
“Did you have fun?”
“No. Goodnight.”
And for whatever reason, Pencil and the other Freesmarters never brought up Golf Ball’s membership after that, and GB didn’t either.
