Vee steps into the elevator. She looks around. Some toons are talking. Some are just waiting for dandy´s shop. that dandy thinks he's so smart, doesn't he... I swear if I see him selling gumballs I'm gon–

"Vee..? You okay there..? Something seems to be troubling you," Astro says in a kind voice.

"I'm fine, Astro. Go to the others. I don't want to talk."

Astro steps away. Vee reflects briefly. Why am I always so mad at toons..? I don't mean to lash out, it's just... it just seems like all I can do. Her fists clench, and her head gets hot. Why am I like this?! None of the other toons are as stupid as me, lashing out at everything!! I HATE THIS!!

Just then, the familiar sound of the shop opening snaps Vee out of her frustratingly deafening thoughts. Just the thing I need, Vee thinks, Something else to make anger rise. Like everything else!

"Why, hello there... are any of you going to buy my items now..? I'm WAITING..." Dandy says angrily as he rises from the depths of his shop. Vee walked over, inspecting the items for sale. Gumballs. Stopwatch. Smokebomb. Vee would have bought the smokebomb, but it was a dandy run.

"Come on, I know you guys are all ´saving´ your tapes for me... SO FESS THEM UP OR ILL GO CrAzyYY AaHAhaHaA..."

"You heard us, Dandy." Sprout began, "We're not buying from your pathetic shop." He steps closer and looks into Dandy's eyes, inches from the edge of the shop, "Not ever and not even once."

Dandy looks at him with a subtle but evil grin. He begins in a distorting voice, "Fine. BE that way. but just know," he pauses before pulling the lever to descend his shop and in a creepily friendly tone, says, "This isn't the last time you hear of ol´ Dandy... FRIENDS."

And with that, the shop door slams shut. Vee thinks for a minute while the next floor is creeping up. She decides to talk to Shelly. She wanted to know why Shelly left her to extract on her own, but just as she was about to ask Shelly, the familiar lullaby tune played again as the elevator door was about to open. She stopped in her tracks and looked around. Everyone was tense. As the elevator opened, Vee decided to follow Shelly and see if she could ask her what was up. She was following far behind, as usual, when Shelly suddenly ran out in a panic. What could she be running from? Dandy was being distracted by Pebble, and only a couple of out–runable twisted were on the floor.

Vee turned the corner and was suddenly spotted. Glowing red eyes stared back at her, frozen in place. The twisted, no, DANDY... veered after her. The last thing she remembered was those piercing crimson eyes and those agonizingly painful claws torturing her and tearing her flesh with euphoria before she saw black.
