"Come on, Golf Ball," Tennis Ball pleaded.

"No!"

"But why?"

"I already told you!" Golf Ball grumped. "I don't like parties. They're just a waste of time."

"But they can be fun!" Tennis Ball countered. "There's food, music, and lots of other people."

"I don't know if you've noticed, TB, but I'm not exactly the social type," Golf Ball said sarcastically.

"You don't have to actually talk to people!" Tennis Ball sighed. "Look, think about it this way. The competition's stressful, right?"

GB nodded. "That we can agree on."

"Well, parties can help a person relax. Unwind. I know you've been stressed lately, because of Basketball being an 'imposter,' and when BEEP flooded your underground factory with lava, so just... take a break! That's partially what parties are for."

Golf Ball considered this for several seconds. Tennis Ball was afraid he's somehow said something wrong when she finally replied. "Alright. I'll go. But only to see what a party is like!"

"Yay!" TB cheered.

--------------------

Seven o'clock could not have come fast enough for the objects of Goiky. The sun was just beginning to set, and over three quarters of the BFB cast was gathered outside the entrance to Loser's new mansion.

The oversized front doors creaked open, and out stepped a certain yellow cuboid. "LOSER!!" most of the crowd shouted enthusiastically. He waved out to everyone, then opened the doors wider. "Come on in, everyone! It's party time!"

"HOORAY!" They all almost trampled each other in their rush to get inside. It was a miracle that Bubble survived at all.

Objects quickly spread out to explore the mansion. It wasn't ridiculously huge, but it could have held all 64 contestants if everyone had attended. Most people congregated on the first floor, around the food and drinks table, while a bunch of others decided to go check out the second floor. Loser had carefully made sure not to serve any food that was already a contestant.

Despite the size of the mansion, both floors only held a few rooms each. The main entry room doubled as a living room, and that was where the largest amount of food and drinks were held. There were smaller snack stations dotted across the first floor, however. In the back of the living room was a DJ set and a karaoke stage, and there was even a disco ball hanging from the tall ceiling. There was also a fireplace with a roaring fire inside. Connected to the living room was a kitchen where Loser could prepare more food if needed, and down another hallway were a couple of arcade rooms.

The second floor had a couple of bedrooms, but as the mansion wasn't going to exist for more than a day, they were purely decorative. The rest of the second floor consisted of a few smaller rooms designed for people to go to escape the chaos of the party, and they were filled with various board games and card games.

A good chunk of the party was mostly small talk, going between rooms, people catching up with eliminated contestants, and a bit of dancing. But as the night went on, objects got bolder. So I'll skip the boring bit and get to the interesting stuff.

(insert timeskip lol)

--------------------

A couple hours later

Concentrated Yoyleberry juice is different from most other foods made from Yoyleberries, in the sense that it doesn't turn the consumer into metal. Instead, concentrated Yoyleberry juice increases the amount of GABA and slows down your brain cells. It reduces your executive function, your judgement, your decision making. It makes you less inhibited and you're tempted to take more risks than you usually would.

In short, it makes you drunk if you drink too much. And that is exactly what Lollipop did.

The objects of Goiky almost never used it, or had any on hand. When Loser brought out the juice from the basement after a couple of hours, he expected the party attendees to be responsible in their usage of it. But some of them weren't.

Lollipop staggered from the kitchen into the living room and slid up to the DJ set at the back of the room, where Eraser was looking through some songs to play. "Hey, turn that music up!" Lollipop asked. Eraser obliged, turning up Infetterence to only slightly eardrum-bursting levels.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Lollipop started to walk away, then began to spin to the music while fist pumping repeatedly. She quickly got dizzy and tripped over a couch, landing on it so that she was upside down and face-to-face with Bubble. "Hello, Bubbubbubbly."

Bubble sighed. "Lollipop, you're drunk."

"No straw needed," the grape-flavored candy giggled. She then stuck out her pointer finger and popped Bubble. "Oopsie!"

"Lollipop!" Pencil scolded. "Don't ever, like, pop Bubble!"

"I'm NoT aFrAiD oF yOu," Lollipop said, her voice wobbling, before sliding onto the floor and promptly passing out. Pencil just sighed.

Saw and Taco walked up. "Alrighty, sleepyhead," Saw said as she lifted Lollipop. "Let's get you upstairs." Taco joined in and together, they carried the woozy Lollipop out of the living room, almost getting tripped by Firey Jr. as he ran in.

"Hey, Ice Cube!" Jr called out. Icy turned to see who had called her name, only to find that the miniature flame had lifted her up. "What are you doing??" she yelled. Jr didn't respond. Instead, he tossed her right into the fire in the fireplace, melting her instantly.

Bracelety gasped. "How DARE you!" She grabbed Firey Jr. by one of his legs and stormed off in search of Teardrop, with Jr screaming all the way.

She ran into Firey. "FIREY!" she screeched.

Firey cringed at the sound of her voice. "Ah! What!"

"HAVE YOU SEEN TEARDROP?"

"Uh, no. I try to stay away from her, actually."

Bracelety grumbled and pushed past him to continue her search. A path cleared for a second, giving Firey a sightline to Leafy. When he spotted her, he automatically assumed a blank face, before realizing that she had her back turned to him.

The flame shook his head. I didn't realize she was going to be here, he thought. Suddenly, Coiny bumped into him and leaned against him. "Hey, Fir-aey." Coiny's speech was a bit slurred.

Firey noticed the cup in his hand and sighed. Glad for an excuse to leave the party, he said, "Come on, Coiny. You're a bit drunk. Let's get you out of here."

"Whaddya mean? I'm not-" Coiny hicupped. "-drunk! I'm just a lil' TPOT! I mean, a lil' teapot! I mean-"

"You're a little tipsy, I get it." Firey just picked up the copper coin and, holding him over his head, walked towards the front door. Coiny chuckled the whole way and accidentally dumped the rest of his juice on Remote as they passed by. "Hey!" Tree protested, annoyed that his friend had been doused in liquid.

"bztztzrtrbzzrbrtzt" Remote glitched.

"Uhh, Remote?" Tree sounded concerned. "Are you ok?"

Remote stopped glitching and powered down for a moment, but then quickly turned back on. "VIVA LA REVOLUTION!" she shouted. She then grabbed Rocky and tossed him through the nearest window, shattering the glass completely.

"What-" Tree exclaimed, but that was as far as he got before Remote grabbed him as well, lifted him over her head, and jumped through the window.

Loser came into the room just in time to witness this and put his hand to his head. "What in the world?" he hollered.

"Grassy will follow Rocky friend!" Grassy said cheerfully. He started to sprint towards the window, which still had sharp shards of glass around the frame.

"Grassy, no!" Loser dropped the tray he was holding and leapt to intercept Grassy, missing him by inches as the clump of greenery soared through the window. "Wheeeee!" he laughed.

Loser was about to head outside to get him when he noticed a commotion going on amidst the dancing. Pushing his way through the crowd, he just managed to see Liy rip Foldy in half. "Hey!" Stapy yelled at Liy. "Don't kill my friend!"

He jumped towards Liy, but Loser stepped in front of him. "What's going on here?" the cuboid demanded.

"Liy just ripped apart my friend Foldy for no reason!" Stapy wailed.

"I did NOT!" Liy protested. "Foldy started it by insulting me!"

"Calm down," Loser said. "There's no need to fight each other. I'm sure this can be resolved peacefully."

Stapy closed his eyes and took a deep breath. While he did that, Bracelety pushed him away to face Loser. "HAVE YOU SEEN TEARDROP?" she asked.

"Why do you want to find Teardrop?" Loser asked suspiciously, noting that Firey Jr. was being held hostage by Bracelety.

"I WANT TO EXTINGUISH FIREY JR," the bracelet said simply. "HE MELTED ICE CUBE!"

Loser's face morphed into an expression of anger, something that didn't happen often. "That's it. You four!" He quickly pointed in turn to Bracelety, Firey Jr, Stapy, and Liy. "Outside. Now."

They were all a little stunned, as they had never really seen Loser angry before. But the four of them reluctantly trudged out the front door. Loser spotted Cake trying to break up another fight between David and Dora and gestured for them to follow.

Loser walked out into the starry night, stopping in front of the tiny crowd of objects. A moment later, David and Dora joined the group, and Cake stood by Loser's side, whispering something into his ear. A couple dozen feet over, Tree was leading Remote away from the mansion while Grassy was playing with Rocky. Far off, the light of Firey was illuminating his path as he carried Coiny away.

Taking a breath, Loser did his best to not seem angry anymore. In actuality, he was furious at every one of them, but he had a reputation to keep. So he tacked down his emotions and put on a smile.

"Now," he started. "I know you are all good people. And I'm sure most of you had the best of intentions. But you can't just go and start fights in the middle of parties." He met Liy's eyes. "Liy, I know you don't like Stapy and Foldy, but that's no reason to kill one of them. If they start something, be the better person by not continuing it."

Cake nodded vigorously. "Yeah! What he said!"

Liy looked down, almost ashamed, as Loser turned his gaze to Bracelety and Firey Jr. "The same goes for you two. Especially since our only source of recovery won't return for a few days."

Bracelety gently set Firey Jr down and mumbled an apology.

Loser turned to the two humans. "David, Dora, I know of your legendary rivalry-"

David hissed at the sound of Dora's name and Dora hissed right back.

"-but for tonight, at least, could you two at least just try to avoid each other? And if that's not possible for some reason, then just ignore each other. Getting into a fight isn't worth it. Got it?"

They nodded, then took a step away from each other.

"Good." Loser turned to the others again. "I'm not mad. But this is my party, and I would appreciate it if you respected-"

The sound of glass shattering suddenly came from behind him. He whirled around to see 8-Ball hurtle out of a second-story window and land with a whump on the dead grass a few feet away. Loser looked up and saw Golf Ball poking out of the shattered window. "That's what you get!" she screeched, right before a leg - presumably Tennis Ball's - grabbed her and pulled her inside.

Loser sighed. "Looks like I'll have to talk to other people now. Feel free to come inside whenever you want," he said, addressing the scorned group of objects he was talking to a moment earlier.

The yellow cuboid stepped up to the mansion and put his hand on the front door's handle...

--------------------

When Lightning stopped flying, he stopped so abruptly that he almost lost his lunch. But he had a bit more control over his 'stomach' than his mind and managed not to barf Rocky-style.

He was hovering several dozen feet above Loser's mansion. Without warning, he dropped like a stone but stopped right before he would have hit the roof. Next to him, sticking out of the highest part of the roof, was a lightning rod.

He floated towards it, almost touching, then froze. He was doing his best to fight whatever had control over his mind and movements. The unknown force and Lightning were locked in combat for a solid minute, before Lightning succumbed. His body automatically kept moving to the lightning rod. It prepared to zap, building up a bigger charge than ever before. Finally, Lightning shot down and slammed against the metal pole, unleashing all of the energy in one big blast of electricity.

--------------------

"See, TB, I told you going to this party was a bad idea," Golf Ball grumbled.

"To be fair, you didn't have to throw 8-Ball out the window," Tennis Ball protested. "You could have just avoided him!"

GB sighed. "Let's just leave."

They were at the top of the stairs when the lights suddenly turned off. The music emanating from the living room cut out and was replaced by shouts of surprise and confusion. "What in the world?" TB said.

Suddenly, the halls were lit again, but the light source was coming from outside. Both sports globules turned and gawped at the shimmering wall of energy that had appeared out of nowhere.

--------------------

The yellow cuboid stepped up to the mansion and put his hand on the front door's handle when a wall of light suddenly pushed him backwards. He tumbled down the front steps and landed on his feet. "What the heck?

A shimmering sphere of... something was surrounding the mansion. Cake went up and touched the barrier, but it blasted him backwards as well. He landed right next to Loser. "Loser! What's going on?" he cried.

"I..." Loser was at a loss for words, and he was about to say something he thought he'd never say. "I don't know."

The eleven objects outside stared in wonder as the energy globule wobbled dangerously. Then it dissipated, and the mansion collapsed in on itself.

Woah, Loser had a lot more focus than I initially thought he would

anyway cliffhanger time >:) this chapter may have been my all-time favorite to write so far haha

32 objects is a lot of objects to have superpowers. But some of them have generic powers - invincibility, invisibility, super strength, super speed, etc, and some of the powers are more unique, so I'll probably be focusing more on the latter.

I also haven't proofread this chapter yet I'll probably do that later ok bye
