Thanks for noticing those. First one came out of nowhere, second one is caused by being a Sailor Moon fan. I keep catching myself using "Ami" instead of "Amy" but sooner or later one had to slip past my spellchecking.
To quote an ancient game, "but thou must."

Another chapter done. I regret nothing.
He really hated this world. Everything was out to kill him. Even those he had thought would be his allies. They thought they could survive without him, they thought they would be the ones to save the world. Fools. Still, he knew he had that green hippie to thank for his newfound goal. If not for her betrayal, he would have never realized what his true calling was. Having to survive in the wilderness had awakened something in him. He was a warrior. He was a fearless kililng machine. And he would, one day, go back to pay Lune and her merry gang of losers a visit. But first, he had to become stronger.
He had already been to several strange places. The Jungle, which had admittedly beaten him (but he would go back once he had better gear) the desert (which was rather... Deserted,) and a place where the ground seemed to be made of pulsating flesh, with large chasms to be found everywhere, and spiders the size of bears, along with other ugly bugs. He hadn't stayed there for long.
"Oh hey, hello there, strange large building made of creepy pink bricks," he said as he saw a building in the distance. It wasn't that big, and its only features were tall columns and the old man standing in front of its door. "Guess they couldn't hire a real security guard."
The old man saw him walk down the cliff and frowned. "Thou shalt not pass."
"Shut the
up, you're not Gandalf."
"Hmph. You are not worthy of entering here. Only one who releases me from my curse will-"
Razor walked past the crazy old creep. "Yeah yeah Chosen One blah blah blah you sound like that Dryad bimbo. Do I have to stab you through to get in?"
The old man glared at him for a second, but then gave him a somewhat creepy, yet friendly smile. "Even if you choose to ignore my warnings, you can still go into the Dungeon."
Dungeon, huh? That meant most of this building was underground. "Let the looting begin!"
The old man's smile didn't falter as the 'hero' walked through the door. Pathetic fool, his master stopped playing nice when those who were arrogant and worthless decided to invade his territory. "Death will suit you well."
Razor had already started his descent. The dungeon was apparently very vertical, and the only way down was to jump on a series of floating platforms. Platforms which held books. He hoped there were better things to loot than books, because- Wait, was that a huge- skull with shining red eyes flying straight at him? "Well, it."
Outside, the old man heard the screams and chuckled. His master had killed another fool. Hopefully this one would gear up before trying again... Because they always tried again.
Lunette looked at the base. Yes, it looked much better now. "Pink is the new green."
"I feel like my soul died a little," Xanos muttered.
"You'll get used to it," Amy said, trying to calm him down.
"Yes, that's exactly what I fear," Xanos noted. At least Marco had agreed not to paint the insides of his new room pink. He would have not been a happy goblin if that had happened.
"So, you're a craftsman, right? Or craftsgoblin, whichever works..."
Xanos nodded at Lunette "I studied some goblin magic, so I can do things other craftsmen can't do."
"Like what?"
"Lend me your spear for a minute," Xanos said. Lunette complied, and he muttered some words in his native language. Seconds later, the spear grew visibly longer. "There you go."
Lunette looked at her spear, her eyes wide. "Holy, that's awesome. You just gave my spear a bo-"
"Lune!!"
"I was going to say a 'bonus to damage and reach,'" Lunette said.
Amy shook her head. "Hmph. Sure you were. You have quite a dirty mind, Miss Dryad."
"It's one of my best traits," Lunette said with a wink.
"The best being her bra size," Xanos muttered.
"What was that?" Lunette snapped glaring at the goblin.
Xanos yelped and went to hide behind a golden chest. "Please don't hurt me, I'll be good, I promise," he squeaked.
Lunette sighed. "I'll take what you said as a compliment, though." She turned to Amy. "I need to gather some wood before night falls. Want to tag along?"
"Sure!"
Xanos saw the two women walk away and rose an eyebrow. "Are those two..."
"I'm not sure, and I fear asking," Calvin said.
"I think they still don't know about it," Garret commented.
Tony appeared out of seemingly nowhere. "Wait, you mean those girls are..." Calvin nodded. "Hot."
"..." Amy let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing, just a bit bored." She smiled. "Wonder what my nurse school friends would think about that, a healer itching for a fight."
"We're in a forest, though. Where will we find somethign worth fighting?"
"Ugh, Lune, every heard the saying 'don't tempt fate'?"
"I did. I don't believe in fate, though." Two seconds after Lunette said that, a small, pink slime jumped out from behind a tree. Lunette looked up and groaned. "Very funny, universe."
"Is that..."
"The legendary Pinky," Lunette said, "Slaughterer or Heroes, Pain Incarnate, Death Jelly. It goes by many names, but... Really, this thing?"
"It's small, but appareances may deceive," Amy noted.
Lunette shrugged as the small slime jumped at her, and stabbed it through with her spear. The slime didn't seem to notice, and used the spear as a platform, giving another small jump and landing on Lunette's arm. "Ugh."
Amy saw her friend fall down. "Lune?"
"This thing is... I don't know what it's doing, but I feel weak all of the sudden."
Amy glared at the small slime and kicked it away. "Leave my friend alone!"
Lunette sat up, then saw the slime was jumping their way again. "Damn thing."
Amy took out a shotgun and blew the slime to bits. "Dead thing."
"Oh, you got one of those?"
"Tony gave it to me, a gift he said."
"Gee, only two days here, and already trying to romance you?"
"Too bad for him, but I'm not interested."
"Good," Lunette said then blushed slightly as she realized she had said that out loud.
If Amy noticed it, she didn't comment on it. She was too busy looking around. "Something is coming."
Lunette staggered up. "Let's get it, whatever it is."
"Are you okay?"
"I think that bug can only weakens its victims when latched unto them."
"Good to know," Amy started, then saw something jump out from behind a nearby tree. "Oh no."
Lunette looked at the pink slimes and sighed. There were, at least, twenty of them. "So we found a pack of the rarest slime in the world. Aren't we lucky?"
"Shut up and run," Amy said. And run they did.
Lunette had mixed feelings about the results of their escape. On one hand, the pink slime herd was nowhere to be seen. But on the other hand, they had run into the area known as The Crimson. She had read about it as a kid, and it had sent shivers down her spine back then. It was still a bit unnerving to be here, but she had survived the Corruption (barely) so she could get through this. "Hmph, should we go explore, Amy?"
No response. She looked to the side and saw Amy had wrapped her arms around her stomach, and was looking around uneasily. "Amy?"
"This is... The Crimson, right?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go back."
"What? Why?"
"Don't ask, just..." Amy stopped and started to back away. "No!"
Lunette turned to see a spider. It was larger than her, and a pale, pinkish color. "Ugh, those things..." She used her spear to neatly stab it through. "So, arachnophobia?"
Amy nodded. "Sorry."
"They say the best therapy is to face your fears."
" that, I wanna go home."
"We'll have to get through this place sooner or later."
"Then come back later with someone else. Someone who's not a coward."
"You're not a coward," Lunette said, "and I don't want someone else tagging along."
Amy looked at Lunette and blushed. "Ugh, not the time for your flirty jokes."
"Who's joking?" Lunette said.
"Uh..." Amy was lost for words. Did that mean Lune felt something more than friendship towards her? A part of her mind told her she liked the idea, but she told that part of her mind to shut up. Still... She noticed something as she looked at Lune, and paled. "Lune, watch out!"
Lunette saw the shuriken fly by, barely missing her head, and turned around to see a spider standing there. It had, apparently, been about to pounce at her, but the thrown weapon had hit it right in the skull. As the spider fell, the Dryad finally realized what had happened. "... Thanks, I-"
"If you want me to tag along, that's fine, but next time you get distracted staring at me I'll just leave you to the bugs."
"Sorry about that. I wasn't joking though."
"I know, I... Let's continue this particular talk once we go back home."
"Agreed, let's go."
"You know, these tunnels look like a giant-"
"Don't say it," Amy snapped. Still, this place was disgusting. At least the Corruption tunnels had a somewhat stone-like look, but this place? It was like... Yeah, Lune was right.
"Oh lookie, another heart."
"Third time's a charm, like with the orbs," Amy noted. Or, at least, that's what Garret had told them about the Crimson.
Lunette pierced through the heart, and it shattered. Hopefully it wasn't another necklace. "Oh hello there, sexy!"
Amy looked at the polearm that had dropped from within the heart. It looked like a long glaive with pieces of flesh stuck around its blade. "Sexy? That looks gross."
"It's a polearm, tho. And it looks stronger than my Night Spear."
"Well, you will have a chance to test that out soon," Amy said, then waited. After one minute, she sighed. "What the hell?"
"Wasn't there supposed to be a huge brain we had to fight after three hearts?"
"Let's search the area for a while, if we can't find it, we'll just leave."
"Right," Lunette said. "Let's go get that brain."
Amy was a bit worried. Garret's 'legend' had thus far been accurate, except for the Chosen One being a jerk. Still, where was the brain?
"Hey, do you hear that?" Lunette suddenly said. Amy nodded, she could also hear a muffled voice coming from somewhere in the cavern. The Dryad looked around and then smiled. "That way."
As they approached the source of the voice, they could notice two things. One, it was a single, female voice, and two, it didn't seem to be stopping for air.
"... And so you see, this place totally needs some redecoration, because seriously, flesh walls? You should fire your architect, Brainy. Can I call you Brainy? Anyways, as I was saying..."
The two women walked into a large cavern, and saw what surely was the so-called Brain of Cthulhu - made obvious by the fact it was a brain - floating there, as a woman with dark pink hair kept on talking, unaware of the newcomers. "What's going on here?"
"Huh? Who are you people? Brainy, you didn't tell me you had invited friends! Is there any other friend coming?"
Lunette blinked in disbelief. The brain's small, single eye looked at her, and she could almost feel like it was trying to tell her "kill me now."
Amy sighed as the strange woman kept on blabbering, unaware of the danger she was in. "That should be the Party Girl."
"Oh, joy."
"Actually, my name's Bunny," the Party Girl corrected. "So, what are you two doing here? By the way Dryad, I looooooove your armor. Looks so damn pretty."
"Uh, thanks," Lunette said, "we're here... Uhm, see, that "Brainy" guy is an evil spirit, and we're here to fight it. For a second, the Dryad dreaded the girl's reaction, she seemed to be quite oblivious to her predicament. Well, it would be a predicament if the Brain of Cthulhu could move. Apparently, this girl's verborrhage had given it a migraine.
"Wait, Brainy is a bad guy?" Bunny asked.
"Yes, why?"
Bunny took out a shark-shaped minigun. "I hate bad guys!"
Lunette just watched as the Party Girl decimated the Brain and its minions. "Fights always get crazy around us, huh?"
Amy smiled. "Seems like that to me, too."
It only took a minute, and pieces of the Brain were now scattered all around the cave. "The nerve of that thing, making me believe it was my friend..."
Lunette sighed. "I can almost feel I'm going to regret this, but, uh, Bunny?"
Bunny turned to them as she put her minigun (minishark sounded like a good name for it, for some reason) away. "Yes?"
"We are fighting some very nasty guys, and well... I think we could use your help."
"Reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaally? Oh gosh! I always wanted to be a hero, you know? Well, that and a party planner. Do you party often? I could give you some tips on how to decorate. Is your place large?"
Amy winced. This girl seemed to be on a perpetual sugar high. "Uh, yes, it's a quite big base."
"Also, we painted it pink," Lunette added.
"RREEEAAAAALLLYYY?" The Party Girl shouted, causing the cave walls around them to shake.
Yes, Lunette though, I'm going to regret this.

Is that.. a new word?
I fear I can't even tell its origin. I need to chew more dictionaries. 
Aah. I can also see where this is heading. Or possibly not.

I don't think verborrhage is all that known. Think hemorrhage but with words. I could have used verbosity but it doesn't quite give the same mental image.
As for where it's heading... I have no idea what you mean.

The only possible answer to that would be "No."

... So yeah, more of this. Enjoy.
"So you went to gather some wood and ended up fighting the Brain of Cthulhu?" Fikod asked. "If you don't mind me asking, how the hell does that even work?"
"You try being chased by a horde of life-sucking pink slimes, and then come tell me how it works."
Lunette wasn't in a good mood, Amy could see that, and she was sure it was partially her fault. "Lune, I think we need to talk."
"Yeah, we-"
Bunny interrupted whatever Lunette was about to say as she run out of the base. "Oh my gosh everything in there is so awesome and PINK! Did I ever tell you I love pink?"
"Only fifty times on our way here," Lunette muttered.
Tony looked at the Party Girl. "... Can I just put her out of her misery already?"
Lunette sighed. "No."
"What, no sarcasm?"
Lunette growled. "Not in the mood right now, just no killing each other, okay?"
Tony saw Lunette walk into the building, followed closely by Amy, and frowned. "Who died and made her the leader?"
"Razor, hopefully," Calvin said.
"Wait," Tony said, "she shut up."
The Party Girl noticed all eyes were on her. "Huh? What's wrong?"
"We thought you were physically unable to remain silent," Calvin noted.
"Oh, that. Sorry, I eat candy when I'm scared and I ate a lot of it after I got lost in the Crimson, so..."
"So you're not normally that annoying?"
Bunny smiled. "Only when I eat candy. But I love candies so it may happen a lot."
"Where would you get candies from, though?"
"I make them myself."
Xanos looked at her. "You do... What do you use to make them?"
"Stuff."
"... Okay." Xanos looked at the girl. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling she wasn't one of the good guys. Oh, right, pink hair.
"I can guess your mood isn't the best, but we need to talk."
Lunette took a deep breath. "Sorry about that, but that girl... She won't stop talking."
Amy chuckled at that. "Are you regretting your decision?"
"No, something tells me she'll be useful in the future. I just need to craft a metallic gag for her."
Amy nodded at that, not too sure her friend was joking about that last part. "In any case, what you said back then-"
"I like you, Amy. And I don't mean that as a friend."
The Nurse could feel her cheeks heat up. "I-"
"You don't have to say a thing until you're sure," the Dryad said, "I just wanted you to know how things are from my side."
Amy smiled. "Thanks, but... I can't promise I'll have a proper answer soon."
"I can live with that." Lunette said, then froze. "Hear that?"
"What?"
"The silence."
"Oh no, don't tell me Tony-"
"I don't think he has the 'bullets' to do it. Let's go and see."
As they walked outside, they could see their allies all chatting around a campfire. "Uhm, what-"
Bunny walked to Lunette. "I think your first impression of me may have been bad, and I'm sorry about my behavior earlier. I eat candies when I'm scared, and I was quite scared back there. I don't even know how I got to where that brain was."
"So, you're normally... Normal?"
"I still like parties, pink, and filling evil creeps with bullets."
"Can live with that," Lunette admitted.
"So, did you ladies sort everything out?" Calvin asked.
"You could say that," the Dryad said, "I don't know when I started feeling this way about Amy, but..."
"So, you'll go 'explore' again soon."
Lunette sighed at that. "We'll go explore tomorrow. Anyone wants to tag along?"
"We'll be working on something," Xanos said.
"'We'?" Amy asked. Who exactly...
"Tony, Fikod and me."
Lunette stared at the three in turns. "... I fear asking what you're planning."
"Don't worry, you'll like the results."
"Just try not to blow up our base," Lunette noted, "it takes a lot of snow to make that many bricks."
"I know. No accidents," Fikod said with a grin.
Bunny looked at the Dryad with a small smile in her face. "Where are you going?"
"The jungle."
"Sounds fun, can I go too?"
Lunette thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, just... Don't bring too many candies."
The journey to the jungle was uneventful, not counting the thing with a stray eater of souls and the Party Girl using fireworks to explode it. Amy was quite silent for most of the trip, but Lunette wouldn't complain, she was obviously giving her sudden confession a lot of thought.
Her mind returned to the task at hand as she felt the ground was a lot softer and wetter. Mud usually meant the jungle was near. "Been a while."
"So, this is where you used to live, Lune?" Amy asked.
Lunette saw a pale green slime hopping their way and smiled. "Yeah."
"Lune, watch-" Amy was pulling her gun out, but then noticed something. The slime wasn't attacking Lune, it was just standing next to her. "What the heck?"
Lunette smiled as she looked at the slime. "Fluffy, is that you?" As the slime jumped up and down, she caught it and gave it a hug. "I've missed you, you ugly thing!"
"Fluffy?" Bunny asked.
"She's a... Well, a friend, though humans would describe her as 'a pet.'"
"So, mind telling us what we're looking for in here?" Amy asked.
"I asked Garret about the jungle boss. Turns out she's an old acquiatance of mine. That's why I wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible."
"Wait, you know the Queen Bee?" Bunny asked.
"That ate my family. I'm going to tear her to pieces and feed said pieces to Fluffy."
"Lune..."
Lunette smiled sady at Amy. "Don't worry, I'm well past grief now, I just want to kill that thing."
Bunny was checking a nearby pond. "Awww how cute, this fish has big teeth."
"Careful with those, they're piranhas. They'll bite your face off if you get too close."
The piranha poked its head out of the water and stared at Bunny before showing its teeth. Bunny took a dynamite stick out of her dress and lit it up "I wonder if the teethy fish swims fast?" she asked as she threw the stick into the water.
Lunette could almost feel sorry for the piranha as it futilely tried to get out of the blast range before it happened. However, once the explosion was over, she could see the water was being drained down. "I wondered how long we would have to walk to find an entrance to the underground, but I guess making our own entrance works too."
Bunny threw a torch down and nodded. "It's only a short fall down there, let's go!"
Amy saw the Party Girl jump down the hole and sighed. "I wonder if following a bunny down a hole is safe."
"Huh?"
"Sorry, just reminded me of an old book I once read."
"Oh. I've never been too much of a reader. Anyhow, let's follow her before she gets eaten by hornets."
"Honestly, I think she would be the one eating the hornets."
Lunette shook her head at that. "Know what, me too."
While the Corruption and Crimson were disgusting, this place didn't really fare much better. All the mud, mossy grass, and giant insects were really unnerving, and they weren't pushovers, more from the fact there were dozens of them around them all the time, than from their strength.
"At least we can make something out of the loot we're getting," Lunette commented after the sixth hornet swarm had been defeated.
"Hope you're not thinking about making an armor out of stingers."
"Why not, it would work to bearhug enemies."
"Ehh, guess you're right... Wait, where's your slimy friend?"
"She just went off on her own. She does that a lot," Lunette explained.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Amy looked up and could almost feel sorry for her foes. Party Girl was riding a hornet, which kept on smashing into other hornets and knocking them out of the sky. "She's insane."
Lunette was picking up loot from the fallen hornets. "But her methods are insanely effective."
"Won't argue with th-"
"OW! What the he-y lookie, orange walls."
"Orange?" Lunette saw Bunny was sitting near a now knocked out hornet, and there was a wall of orange bricks next to her. "Oh wow, the jungle temple."
"That sounds like fun, I like fun, let's go in!"
Lunette growled. "First off, go back to being non-annoying."
"Uh, sorry," Bunny looked at her own feet, then at the wall. "But really, what's in there?"
"No freaking idea. Never found a way in, no tool was able to break through those walls."
"What about old Danny Mite?"
"Danny who?" Amy asked, then saw the Party Girl take out a dynamite stick. "Oh, of course. Puns."
Bunny threw the dynamite stick at the wall, but it did nothing but dig a hole under it. She frowned and used three more sticks, then five, then ten. "WHAT THE F-"
"Told you. Let's just keep on exploring, I'm sure we'll find a way to get in later on."
"We could ask Garret about it."
The Dryad nodded. "Yeah, he may know what's in there."
The jungle was vast, both in the surface and underneath. It took them several hours (they were sure it was already nighttime,) but they finally found what they were looking for.
"That looks like a building-sized beehive."
"That's where that queen lives."
"Huh? What would a dog queen be doing in there?" Bunny asked.
Amy just looked at her then shook her head. She was more worried about Lunette, whose body language had changed since they saw the hive, she seemed way too eager to just run in and start slashing things down. "Lune, don't do anything rash."
"Like killing that?"
"Like getting yourself killed! I'll help you... We'll help you."
Lunette looked at Amy and took a deep breath. "I- Sorry, Amy."
"Don't worry. But I see no entrance, how-" Amy stopped as she heard a familiar noise, and looked to the side to see Bunny holding yet another dynamite stick. "Oh."
One explosion later, the girls were inside the hive. It was like a huge cavern made of honeycomb walls, and they were knee-deep in honey. Amy noticed Bunny eyeing the liquid and sighed. "Bunny..."
"Awww, but I want to..."
"No."
"Hmph. You're mean, Nurse."
Lunette wasn't really paying attention to them. "The Queen is not here."
"Maybe if we make some noise?" Bunny suggested.
"With what?" Amy asked, then saw the Party Girl placing some kind of box on the honey - it actually floated over the honey. "Uhh..."
"It's just fireworks," Bunny said. The box was full of fireworks, indeed, and the girl simply threw a torch into it. "PARTY TIME!"
Lunette had to cover her ears and close her eyes as the fireworks went off in all directions. "Okay, this will get her attention if she's nearby."
Amy looked up, and saw a large shadow looming above them. ", THAT is the Queen Bee?"
"She's one huge creep," Lunette said. "A huge, dead creep."
"Wait!" Amy shouted, but Lunette just wasn't listening. She took out her shotgun, but then sighed - it would be too risky, she could also hit Lunette.
Lunette used the hive's wall as a pivot, and jumped up high. She tried to stab through the queen, but the large bee dodged her stab, moving faster than something that large should. As Lunette started her descent, the bee simply tackled her, knocking her right into the honey.
"Damn it. Bunny, do you-" Amy looked back and saw Bunny had her face full of honey. "Oh no, you didn't."
Bunny looked at Amy. "I like the green lady, I won't let that fat, ugly bee kill her."
Amy sighed and grabbed a couple ice boomerangs from her backpack. "Why eat honey, tho?"
"I'm crazier and faster when I'm on a sugar high," Bunny explained, then a creepy grin formed in her face. "Ahahahaha! This is gonna be FUN. Hey you, fat, ugly bee!"
The Queen Bee had been about to tackle Lunette - who was trying to stand up and failing miserably - but turned to see the Party Girl rushing at her. It made a sound close to a chuckle then decided to tackle the crazy human.
Or, at least, she tried to. Bunny waited until the very last second before jumping up, landing on top of the bee, and clutching her antennae. "I'm gonna teach you to bee-hive, jerk!"
Amy cringed at the pun, then cringed again as she saw the queen headbutt a wall. Then another wall. And another. Bunny's surprise attack had been good, but the Nurse could see their foe was already trying to shake her attacker off. Amy tossed the boomerangs, but the cave was too large and they missed their mark. She then looked around, and saw the Party Girl's backpack floating about. "... I hope she doesn't mind me being curious," she muttered to herself before she started to rummage through the bag.
"Hey nursey, that's MY bag! No touching my bag!" Bunny snapped. The Queen saw she was distracted and leaned sideways, slamming her body against the wall, and knocking the Party Girl off her.
Amy saw her friend fall to the honey-filled floor and growled. "Enough!" She found the minishark and grabbed it along with her shotgun. "You hurt my friends, so I'll have to hurt you," she said as she took aim with both weapons.
The Queen started flying towards the nurse, but was greeted by a shotgun blast and several minigun bullets. She stopped in mid-air, more shocked than hurt, then let out a shriek.
Amy tensed. Was it going to try and attack again? No, she could see a fleshy glaive stuck on the queen's side, and a second, purple polearm flew from the same direction, piercing through the bee's skull. "Wow..."
Lunette smiled as she knelt on the ground. "You were right I guess, teamwork did beat that creep."
Amy walked to her, giving her a half-hearted glare. "You really acted like an idiot there, Lune."
Lunette saw Bunny staggering up. "Yeah, I guess I did."
"Still, I'm glad you're okay."
Bunny looked around, then picked up a strange-looking gun, and a black sword. "Oh yay, these look bee-autiful."
"Ugh, I'm not in the mood for puns," Lunette muttered.
"Sorry," Bunny said then swung the sword around. As she did, it released a few small bees. "A. We. Some."
"Agreed," Amy said and looked at the gun. "Can I?"
"You're a good shooter, nursey," Bunny said, "so, here."
Amy pulled the trigger, and several bees shot from the gun, bouncing on the walls. "A gun that shoots bees. Weird, but it looks like quite a weapon."
Lunette looked at her. "That trick you pulled was awesome. Yours too, Bunny."
"Thanks," Bunny said, "but raw honey isn't that good for sugar highs, I guess."
"That's actually a good thing," Lunette muttered. "Anyhow, let's start the trip back."
"Yeah, and let's hope we don't run into any zom-bees," Amy joked.
Lunette shook her head at that. "Ugh, seriously, no more bee puns."
Chapter 5 - Let it bee.
-----
"So you went to gather some wood and ended up fighting the Brain of Cthulhu?" Fikod asked. "If you don't mind me asking, how the hell does that even work?"
"You try being chased by a horde of life-sucking pink slimes, and then come tell me how it works."
Lunette wasn't in a good mood, Amy could see that, and she was sure it was partially her fault. "Lune, I think we need to talk."
"Yeah, we-"
Bunny interrupted whatever Lunette was about to say as she run out of the base. "Oh my gosh everything in there is so awesome and PINK! Did I ever tell you I love pink?"
"Only fifty times on our way here," Lunette muttered.
Tony looked at the Party Girl. "... Can I just put her out of her misery already?"
Lunette sighed. "No."
"What, no sarcasm?"
Lunette growled. "Not in the mood right now, just no killing each other, okay?"
Tony saw Lunette walk into the building, followed closely by Amy, and frowned. "Who died and made her the leader?"
"Razor, hopefully," Calvin said.
"Wait," Tony said, "she shut up."
The Party Girl noticed all eyes were on her. "Huh? What's wrong?"
"We thought you were physically unable to remain silent," Calvin noted.
"Oh, that. Sorry, I eat candy when I'm scared and I ate a lot of it after I got lost in the Crimson, so..."
"So you're not normally that annoying?"
Bunny smiled. "Only when I eat candy. But I love candies so it may happen a lot."
"Where would you get candies from, though?"
"I make them myself."
Xanos looked at her. "You do... What do you use to make them?"
"Stuff."
"... Okay." Xanos looked at the girl. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling she wasn't one of the good guys. Oh, right, pink hair.
-----
"I can guess your mood isn't the best, but we need to talk."
Lunette took a deep breath. "Sorry about that, but that girl... She won't stop talking."
Amy chuckled at that. "Are you regretting your decision?"
"No, something tells me she'll be useful in the future. I just need to craft a metallic gag for her."
Amy nodded at that, not too sure her friend was joking about that last part. "In any case, what you said back then-"
"I like you, Amy. And I don't mean that as a friend."
The Nurse could feel her cheeks heat up. "I-"
"You don't have to say a thing until you're sure," the Dryad said, "I just wanted you to know how things are from my side."
Amy smiled. "Thanks, but... I can't promise I'll have a proper answer soon."
"I can live with that." Lunette said, then froze. "Hear that?"
"What?"
"The silence."
"Oh no, don't tell me Tony-"
"I don't think he has the 'bullets' to do it. Let's go and see."

As they walked outside, they could see their allies all chatting around a campfire. "Uhm, what-"
Bunny walked to Lunette. "I think your first impression of me may have been bad, and I'm sorry about my behavior earlier. I eat candies when I'm scared, and I was quite scared back there. I don't even know how I got to where that brain was."

Sorry, I only saw that movie dubbed to Spanish, which probably murdered whichever pun you meant.

Know what real writers always say?
"It's never too late to edit. If it's already published, burn all the books and re-print them."
Can't remember the specific writer who said that, but he was surely a genius.
