Chapter Text
Mariana opened his eyes seeing the island, the island he was abandoned on.
But, he was still on the boat. How? Was it all a dream? He ran to the captain's area, seeing the driver looking out towards the coming land.
“Ay! Pendejo, this is not the spot I need to be in! Turn back!“
The driver didn't reply nor did they listen, he kept going towards the island.
“AY! Are you not hearing me? This isn't the right place!“
The driver continued his ignorance and soon the boat stopped once more on the island.
There was no way he was getting off!
He was not going to be chased again with a bunch of bags!
Now that he thought about, it he didn't see his bags.
“What are you doing? I said this is the wrong place! Let's go back..“
A very deep echoey voice, sounding all too familiar, spoke back.
“Watch how you speak to me, I am no mortal like you. I could kill you in an instant. There is no going back, you are here now.“
“Porvor! This isn't the right place.. I don't want to be stuck here!“
“You have no choice, this is your new home. You can't try leaving just yet.”
“Why?! People here are crazy! Plus the creatures here..”
“There are already things planned for you.“
“Why.. Why am I so important!?“
“Soon you'll find out mortal.. It's not my place to tell you. It's time for you to wake up, before I strike you.“
“Wha—”
The ground cracked like a mirror against hardwood floors. Opening up to let Mariana fall down the void that was now beneath him.
He fell for what felt only a second before a rope grabbed him, and pulled.
He jerked as the weight of his body slammed upwards, and he awoke. His eyes shot open as he did, looking like he woke up from a terrible dream.
Which in his case, is what happened.
He looked around, still tied up. The only difference from last night and now was that the strange slime person was gone.
All that was left was a bit of slime, he guessed it had fallen off of them.
He sat there, bored out of his mind, hoping that the slime creature would come back and let him go.
He hoped anyone would at least find him.
He waited for what felt like hours.
He didn't know what time it was, but he knew he was definitely late for work.
He hoped puffy would come for him.. or someone! Even if it was someone he didn't know at all!
Mariana was about to fall asleep till he heard someone. It sounded like they were talking.. People!
“MMPH!!!”
He tried to yell, but remembered the paper ball stuffed into his mouth last night.
Mariana tried throwing his legs every which way, trying to find something that could make noise or alarm those people.
He tried getting the paper ball out, but couldn't without his hands. All he could do was keep trying to make as much noise as he could.
“Why did you even wanna bring me here?“
“I wanted to show you something!“
He heard footsteps moving towards him, finally, someone would find him!
But then he recognized one of the voices…
It was the slime! If he was bringing his friend to him then this couldn’t be good..
Then he saw the slime walk in with…
QUACKITY???
Mariana couldn't help but tremble as he exhaled loudly, looking up at the two with a happy but nervous expression.
Quackity looked down at Mariana, having a surprised and concerned look.
“Ey, Slime! Why is Mariana here, and why is he tied up!?”
“You said you wanted him here so I brought him here for you!”
“Slime.. I wanted him here but not like this…”
Quackity ran over to Mariana, quickly untying him he helped the sleepy man up to his feet.
Mariana, now being free, took the paper ball out of his mouth and threw it into the nearest trash can. He turned to the slime, his eyes growing full of anger.
He stomped over to him, pointing a finger and beginning a not-so child friendly tangent.
“Woah! Woah! Easy Mariana, he didn't mean to.”
Quackity began.
“EH!? Esta idiota literalmente me secuestró!”
(This idiot literally kidnapped me!)
“I know, and he is very sorry he did that. Right Slime?”
Slime perked up as he spoke.
“Oh.. Yeah Quackity from Las Nevadas?”
“You’re sorry, Slime?”
“Oh uhm.. Yes!”
“See, he's sorry. He doesn't know much.”
“So you're saying he's an idiot? I think I can tell.”
“Well since you're here, do you wanna have a look around?”
“Si si.. Could we do the interview as well?”
“Yeah, sure.”
Quackity showed Mariana the small town, Slime following and watching as they themselves looked around.
After touring around and showing Mariana the casino, Quackity took him to the staff room for the interview.
Slime stayed outside not wanting to disturb Quackity.
( SLIME POV )
Slime sat there waiting for what felt like forever.
He heard the door creak open, and the two walked out of the room. Slime getting up off the floor, and looking at Quackity with a smile. Quackity had a couple papers in his hands looking through them before looking back to mariana.
“ Ok now you should be good to start working! All that's left is getting you into the right outfit. There should be some spare uniforms, just follow me. “
Mariana nodded as Quackity led Mariana away. Slime was going to follow them till Quackity stepped in front of him and told him to not come with.
“ I need you to stay and take orders and shit. Once I come back with mariana you can take a break. “
Slime nodded, frowning. He watched as Quackity walked away. Slime was sad but did what Quackity asked and helped out. What felt like another hour or so later Quackity arrived having a grin on his face. Slime was confused till he saw mariana walk out in his new outfit. The two stopped in front of the slime both smiling.
Slime felt a weird feeling. He was frozen just looking at mariana. His mouth was hanging open in a somewhat smile. His face flushed a light green. Some spots on him turned to his normal slime green including his hair. Slime snapped out of it when he heard Quackity grab his shoulder and lightly shake him.
“ You good slime? “
“ Oh! yes. I am Fine Quackity from Las Navades! “
“ You sure? You kinda zoned out just looking at mariana.”
“ Yes I am fine! “
“ Ok then. Well you can go on break now if you want slime. Mariana will fill in. “
“ No! I wanna help. Like you asked. “
“ Ok but if you wanna take a break go ahead. “
Quackity adjusted slimes tie before waving and walking off to what slime could assume was his office. Slime worked without taking a break. Ever once in a while he would accidentally glance over to mariana. He couldn't understand why. He didn't understand why he was feeling weird either. He didn't quite like it. It wasn't as bad as the sponge thing he ate that one time. It tasted horrible and hurt too. After work was over he joined mariana in waving away the last customer.
"Well adios."
"oh.. Bye!"
Mariana waved to slime leaving and heading back to the hotel. He didn't see jack at his desk but it was late so he wasn't really suprised. He got into more comfortable clothes going to sleep..
