A/N: This chapter is dedicated to my friend! also, Glitter-Glue is her OC, so credit to her!
Pink Sheep trotted ahead of the group while Purple Shep floated over them (don't ask, it's Purple Shep, for goodness sake!) and Mouse Sheep supported White Sheep, who was barely stumbling along. When they arrived at the village, they were surrounded by concerned stares. "Is she okay?" an unfamiliar voice asked. "Oh my God- get her medical help!" a second voice hollered. then, a white horse with a red plus sign painted on their flank rushed in with an Enderman with a mustache riding on them.
"Hold on! I'm a doctor and I'm here!" the horse said.
"Oh, hello, Doctor Haybell." Mouse Sheep greeted the horse.
"Oh, Golly, Mouse-Man Sheep, how do you know him?" Purple Shep replied.
"Oh, I'm from here." Mouse sheep said. "I live here with my Girlfriend, Glitter-Glue."
"ThAT iS cOOl, HaHA, BUt nOt AS cOOl as tOasTerS. Oh, gOlLy, WaIT, ToAstErs ARe wArM!!!" Purple Shep exclaimed. "TOIlEtS aRe cOoL!!!" Purple Shep added on, referring to a refrigerator.
"Yoooo, Homie Pink Sheep!" the Enderman said.
"Yooooo! Homie Enderman!" Pink Sheep replied.
"oH gOlLy DaDdY PinK sHeEP aRe yOu fRom HeRe tOo?!" Purple Shep asked.
"Well, Purple Shep, I used to live here. Now I just have to go through this town to get to Ocean Town, which is where my Homie Dolphin lives. But your boi still chills with my Homie Enderman sometimes.
"Haha, that is very cool!" Purple Shep said, clapping his hoof-claws as Homie Enderman put White Sheep on Dr. Haybell.
Homie Enderman got onto him too, right on top of White Sheep. And with that, he, White Sheep, and Dr.Haybell seemingly disappeared.
"oH gOlLy WhErE dId NiCe LadY wHiTe SheEp gO?" Purple Shep questioned, visibly afraid at watching White Sheep suddenly vanish.
"Oh, she's just at the hospital. she'll be fine!" a stranger said.
She was another sheep, however, unlike the rest of the group, her cream-colored wool had tons of glitter glue in it, making her sparkle and shimmer with every color of the rainbow. Alongside that, she had a giant bow on her head that was pink, yellow, and blue.
"Ah! Glitter-Glue!" Mouse Sheep exclaimed. "It's so great to see you agai-" Mouse Sheep said, stopping himself when he remembered he had forgotten to introduce this strange new sheep to his new friends and vice-versa. However, Glitter-Glue Sheep continued on.
"You too!" She responded "I'm so excited to see you again welastmetinperson like,sixmonthsagoandohgoodnessmeand-" She finally got the message to shut up.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I should introduce myself. I'm Glitter-Glue Sheep. and that's Mouse Sheep, my boyfriend!" Glitter-Glue Sheep said, less rushed.
"Really? how does someone like Mouse Sheep get a girlfriend?" Pink Sheep snarked.
"Really? if you're so great and all, then why don't you?" Mouse Sheep retaliated.
Pink Sheep put his head down as if to hide his face. A few seconds later, he looked up, face still in shadow like an edgy anime boy about to kill someone (or, a more accurate comparison, a complete tryhard,) and simply responded, "Had it not been for the fact that PVP is disabled here I would have slaughtered you."
That night, the group slept in Glitter-glue and Mouse Sheep's house. Glitter-Glue and Mouse Sheep slept in their rooms, Purple Shep and White Sheep slept in the guest room, and Pink Sheep slept on the couch because he is a jerk and jerks sleep on the couch. When they woke up, they got ready.
"We have to find a way to cross the ocean," Mouse Sheep had said.
Glitter-glue Sheep responded, "Why don't we take a boat?"
"That's a good idea, but I have a better one. After all, I am the most prankster gangster and I'm better than all of you combined!~" Pink Sheep suggested, his head held high, one eyebrow raised, and his face in an arrogant smirk.
Mouse Sheep sighed, his ears drooping and his eyebrows furrowing. "No, Pink Sheep. Whatever it is, it's bound to be stupid."
White Sheep's head rose up. "Why don't we listen to him? It might actually be a very good idea." She said with her usual hushed tone.
"Good idea, White Sheep." Pink Sheep responded. "We should talk to my Homie Dolphin and his hashtag-pod. Maybe they can take us across the ocean!'
Mouse Sheep replied "that might actually work! After all, despite names, Kelp Ocean isn't actually an Ocean, it's technically a sea!"
The team started to walk to the ocean. The beach town is cloudy, as beach towns always are.
"Pfft, ocean, sea, what's the difference?" Pink Sheep snarked.
Mouse Sheep responded, "Seas are smaller."
The group arrived at the beach. The gentle lapping of the ocean could be heard.
"So, how are we gonna communicate with this 'Homie Dolphin?'" Mouse Sheep said.
Pink Sheep responded "I have a special cry to speak to him. He responds only to me, as I have a strong bond with him."
A pause.
Pink Sheep took a deep breath.
"COME HERE ASSHOLE!!!" Pink Sheep screamed.
Then, a dolphin with a well-trimmed mustache arose from the water.
" Yo yo yo wazzap Homie Pink Sheep?" The dolphin said.
" Yo yo yo wazzap Homie Dolphin?" Pink Sheep responded.
"What the heck?" Mouse sheep said.
Homie Dolphin looked at the group of other sheep.
"So... Who exactly are these mustacheless freaks? I mean, I recognize Purple Shep but the rest are lost on me."
"I'm Mouse Sheep and I actually do have a mustache." Mouse Sheep introduced.
"I'm Glitter Glue Sheep!!!!" Glitter-Glue Sheep added, her words so fast that they seemed like one word.
"I'm, uh, White Sheep..." White Sheep responded.
Homie Dolphin asked, "Pink Sheep, why are you hanging out with ugly haters?"
"Mission to save the world." Pink Sheep sighed. "I mean, your boi Pink Sheep is happy to save the world and be famous and crap, but I hate these sheep."
"Oh, okay. Good." Homie Dolphin said.
"Actually, that's why I called you. I need you and your hashtag-pod to carry us to the Orange Mountains, but we need to make a stop at the Crystal Temple first." Pink Sheep added.
"Oh, okay." Homie Dolphin said, nodding his head. "I think I could do that if I got the help of my hashtag-pod. We're free for the next week or so and the world is important."
Homie Dolphin swam down into the water. A few minutes later, he and a bunch of other dolphins swam up. They were his hashtag-pod!
They swam to the shore.
"Get on," Homie Dolphin said.
One by one, each sheep got one (or two, or in Pink Sheep's case, four) dolphins.
Homie Dolphin would lead the pod.
He said, "Okay, we're going to have to stop at Jungle Island to take a break, but we're going to get to the Orange Mountains in a few days!"
A/N:
2019 notes: Trust me, coastal towns are actually that cloudy, I used to live in a coastal town and it was cloudy 24/7
2021 notes: Homie Dolphin's #pod is supposed to be a pun on #squad, but like... with dolphins. also, IK Pink Sheep doesn't swear, but it would be funnier if he did lmao
The group had been sailing on the water for the entire day. The sun began to set. Pink Sheep sighed.
"Oh my goodness! Like, when are we gonna get To the Crystal Temple?"
"When we get there, Pink Sheep." Mouse sheep sighed. He was done with Pink Sheep's bullshit. Just completely done.
"Oh gOlLy aN isLAND!!!!!!" Purple Shep screamed at the top of his lungs. (AKA his normal speaking voice)
"You're right, Purple Shep!" Mouse Sheep said. "That island is right above the Crystal Temple. We will sleep there."
"oH gOlLy WhAT wErE yoU sayING? nICe broWn sHEeP?" Purple Shep said.
"You know what? Forget it." Mouse sheep replied sternly. He, like everyone else, was done with Purple Shep's bullshit.
The group pulled up to the island. Pink Sheep stepped off and immediately fell asleep. As it turns out, he snores. Loudly. White Sheep got off next. She started marking circles in the sand. Mouse Sheep was the third one to get off. He bucked a tree, causing four coconuts to fall off. Glitter Glue Sheep got off fourth. She started to watch Mouse Sheep. Purple Shep got off last. He looked at White Sheep.
"Oh, gOlLy WhAt aRe yoU doIng???"
"Oh... I'm just marking places for us to sleep." White Sheep responded.
There was a circle where Pink Sheep had passed out. Some leaves were on top of him.
"That is where Pink Sheep will be sleeping for the night. The leaves will be a blanket."
There was another circle, marked with the letters 'PS'.
"That's where you'll sleep. You sleep next to Pink Sheep because you're his son."
She pointed to a larger, farther off circle labeled "MS+GGS".
"That's where Mouse Sheep and Glitter Glue Sheep are gonna sleep. It's bigger for both of them because they're boyfriend and girlfriend."
Finally, she pointed to a circle far off from anyone else's, labeled "WS".
"That's where I sleep."

The sun was setting already.
"Alright, Dinner's ready!" Mouse Sheep announced. "I made Coconut Soup!"
"YaY PurPlE ShEp was SO hUngRy!!!!!!!"
"Oh, yum!" Glitter Glue Sheep said.
White Sheep walked over, showing clear gratitude on her face.
Pink Sheep (who was awoken from his nap) grudgingly walked over, completely disgusted. "These aren't Doritos and Mountain Dew." Pink Sheep said.
Mouse Sheep replied, "Well, too bad, huh."
The herd got into a semicircle and started eating. Pink Sheep mixed Doritos and Mountain Dew that he had brought along in his soup.
Glitter Glue Sheep yelled, "Hello, White Sheep!!! How ya doing???"
White Sheep responded, "Well, fine, I guess..."
"So, do you like puzzles?"
"Yeah, I love puzzles!" White Sheep responded.
Friendly chats such as this kept on throughout dinnertime, and through the rest of the night until it was time for bed.
The next day had rolled around. The team ate their breakfast and were ready to head off. The hashtag-pod was ready as well.
"Alright, everyone. Time to enter the Crystal Temple." Mouse Sheep said.
"Ha, this will be so easy, lolololol! Your boi Pink Sheep is the PVP master!" Pink Sheep boasted while climbing on top of Homie Dolphin.
Mouse Sheep sighed and said, "Pink Sheep, this isn't a test of PVP skill. this is a test of intelligence."
Pink Sheep paused for a moment, clearly looking surprised. "W-Well. Pink Sheep is the smartest ever. He will beat this dude."
"Suurrreee..." Mouse Sheep said, his voice sarcastic and drawn out. He got on his dolphin.
"Hey! Stop fighting, you guys!" Glitter Glue Sheep barked.
"Fine." Pink Sheep said.
White Sheep, Purple Shep, and Glitter-Glue Sheep all got on their dolphins. The dolphins swam downwards. before long, an ocean monument was visible. A bubble of air surrounded it. The dolphins landed near its entrance. The ocean was so beautiful. The sun shone on the sandy seafloor, creating a wave-like pattern. Mouse Sheep stepped off his dolphin, his hoof causing a small sand cloud from the disturbance. The other sheep (and shep) did the same. The group walked into the temple, taking a breath of fresh air once they got inside.
the lights were off.
Natural sunlight filtered through the ocean fell onto the floor of the temple through sea glass windows. It was silent. Suddenly, a warped voice boomed through the corridors.
"Who dares enter my temple!?" The voice boomed.
"It's me. YA BOI PINK SHEEP 😡😎😤😈🗡️🗡️🛡️💪💪💪💪"
Purple Shep responded "oH gOlLy dADdY hOw to do YoU talk witH EMOJis??!!!!?! Oh, gOlLy, wHAT iS aN eMoJi??????"
"You! Invaders of my temple! You must perform a test of intelligence to come out alive!" The voice said again.
"We're gonna die." Mouse Sheep thought.
"And the chosen two sheep for my game show..."
Two spotlights shone. One on Pink Sheep and the other on Purple Shep.
"Pink Sheep and Purple Shep!"
They're fucked. So fucked.
~~~~~~~~~~~
A third spotlight shone on a squid in a small tank. He held a microphone. Behind him, a neon sign lit up. It said, "THE SQUID SHOW" in full caps. Then two greenish-blue podiums rose from the ground in front of the two contesting sheep. Guardians carried away the other three sheep and forcefully seated them away from the action.
The squid spoke again, in a cheery voice that absolutely contrasted the dread that Mouse Sheep and White Sheep were feeling.
"QUESTION ONE!!! Name one kitchen supply."
Pink Sheep answered, "The fridge." Of course, he did, he ate so much Doritos!
Purple Shep answered, "TOASTERS!!!" much louder than usual. This also wasn't a surprise. Purple Shep started to talk about the various uses of toasters; like toasting bread, using it as a heat source, and of course, sticking your fluffy head in, but he was interrupted by the next question.
"QUESTION TWO!!! Name one trick you can use to impress your friends."
Pink Sheep answered, "360 noscope!" While it was a very outdated way to do so, Pink Sheep was still correct.
However, Purple Shep was not able to come up with anything and was disqualified.
"FINAL QUESTION!!!"
Mouse and White Sheep were relieved. If Pink Sheep got through this one, he would win the whole game. They would obtain the puzzle piece and they could peacefully leave.
"Count to fifty."
Oh no. Pink Sheep couldn't do that. But he tried and succeeded... until he hit 43. Once he tried to count past 43, he froze like a computer program that would no longer respond.
"Ha! you can't even do that right! Disquali-"
Mouse Sheep had walked up to the squid and bucked his tank, knocking it over.
"Where's. the. puzzle. piece." Mouse Sheep growled. The squid was suffocating because he wasn't in the water. The squid pointed Mouse Sheep toward a drawer, his face becoming a deeper blue by the second. Mouse Sheep threw the squid back in the water.
When Mouse Sheep opened the drawer, there it was, a glowing puzzle piece. It was white this time. Everyone else circled around him to see. They had done it.
Starting that day, Pink Sheep had a little more respect for Mouse Sheep.
