Chapter Text
The impending doom during rounds..wasn’t lessened, just not as amplified as usual. For example, usually survivors would be begging to the Spectre for the round to end so they could rest, but now they were begging for the round to end quickly because Scarlet was making chocolate cake after-!!
Why? ...Because she wanted to of course!
The girl needs her sugar intake, so why not make cake for everyone while getting sugar? The 559 grams of sugar every soda can apparently wasn’t enough for her..even though she had about 20-30 sodas everyday. (No one knew how she hadn’t already had a damn heart attack...or diabetes.)
Anyways, most of the sentinals were just doing machines to get the round to end quicker, and some were making sure the survivors didn’t get absolutely JUMPED.
Bzzt!
Most of the sentinals let out a sigh as the last wire of the generator was clicked into place.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP-
Footsteps quickly jolted the men (plus non-binary) out of their momentary relief, and on edge..they hadn’t seen the killer all round, but judging by the footsteps, it was probably Slasher-
In a flash of pastel colors 3 sodas were pressed into Two Times hand.
Oh.
It was Scarlet.
Very, very, very energized Scarlet but..Scarlet. How many sodas had she had-?
“Timey-!” A couple of snickers among the sentinals..specifically Chance and Shedletsky, which made Two Time’s face flush out of embarrasment slghtly. “Ijusthadlike15sodasin12minutesandnowI’mREALLYENGERGIZED!!Youshouldn’thaveTHATmanythoughbuthave3they’llmakeyouREALFAST!!!!”
Her words all blurred together and didn’t really make any sense to the other survivors since the speed he was talking at was way too fast for anyone to understand. “Honey..” Another snicker from Shedletsky, but Guest1337 elbowed him, signifying him to SHUT UP. “How many sodas...did you have-?” The answer was quick from the girl in front of them bouncing on her heels. “15!”
Turning the sodas that Scarlet had given them around in their hand, it had..559 grams of sugar in each. Some quick math (yes they were very good at math, they used it as a distraction aong with reading after Azure died)
“Scarlet...that’s around 9000 grams of sugar.” A quick nod came from Scarlet who seemed to be getting antsy from not moving for more than a few moments. “Yup-!! Okay love you- bye!” She placed a quick kiss on Two Time’s cheek before zoming off once again.
Chance and Shedletsky both mumbled something to each other and chuckled in unison. “Wow..didn’t know Two Time was such a lover bo-..? Girl- no.” Shedletsky’s hesitation to what to call Two Time ruined the joke before Chance came up with a word. “Lover they/them.” “Yeah, that.”
Two Time just stared at the duo for a moment before opening the soda Tsss.. and then bringing it to their mouth for a quick sip...and then immediately recoiling from how damn SWEET it was. “How..in Spawn’s name does she function with these-?”
Chance, always in the mood for a challenge holds his hand out for one of the sodas. “Gimme one, it can’t be THAT bad-” Chance said while popping off the soda tab of the can Two Time gave him, then drinking a sip of the soda.
Literally two seconds later, he coughed violently and moved the soda away from himself. “Two Time. Ya sure your girl ain’t runnin’ purely on caffeine and fumes?” A beat of silence. “..About 60% sure.”

Chocolate wafted through the air as the survivors sat excitedly conversing about how hey had barely any dessert in forever. Yeah, most things Scarlet cooked were sugary, but this was actual cake!
Soon enough, slices of chocolate cake were being carried to the table in the main lobby heightened by many “ooo”s and “HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS” ..well there was only one of those and it was from Shedletsky. The rest of the comments were from Noob, Guest1337, and others. Poor Veeronica couldn’t have any though, so she was out skating anyways.
A slice was placed in front of everyone except Scarlet herself. Two Time and Guest1337 noticed this.
“Kid, there’s more in the kitchen for yourself, why not get it?” Guest asked gruffly, but starting to pick up the fork that he had gotten anyways. “Scar, why aren’t you ea-” The girl opened a soda can, cutting them off.
“Just focus on eating, my darling.” She hummed contentedly, taking a sip of her soda. Tentaively, Two Time brought the fork they had gotten some cake with to their mouth. The cake was good. Really good.
Which only made them feel a bit more sorrowful that Scarlet wasn’t eating any. Usually, she just fogot to eat, but then would when reminded, like themselves.
A few more bites later, Two Time swallowed the cake, then turned to face their girlfriend. “Scarlet, my love, I really think you sho-mph-!”
Just like that, the girl leaned in, pressing her lips to their own, covering the view from the others with her hand. Slipping her tongue into their mouth, she was able to taste the chocolately goodness of what she had made..and also how Two Time tasted, which always was good.
Breaking apart the kiss, she trotted out of the main lobby happily. She had completed her misson.
Two Time was left there confused and blushing with the taste of sugary soda lingering on their taste buds.
“Jeezh...mh-what’d yuu dho tuo ght a kiss lihpke that frumh hher?” Shedletsky asked with a mouthful of cake, his words being muffled. “Lady Luck was on their side today I guess.” Chance chuckled, shoveling another piece of chocolate into his mouth. Taph set down his fork, signing something to Noob, his movements frantic. “To..night...? WH- Taph no!”
Ignoring all the questions, Two Time took another bite of the chocolate cake.
