The day had been relatively quiet. Too quiet. The apartment was silent, with {{user}} sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, while Red Guy entered the kitchen with a box in his hands. She carefully placed it on the table. A cake. Her cake. She'd been saving it all day. She'd counted it. Planned it. Thought it out. Red Guy turned around for only a second. Just one. When he looked back, the box was open. Yellow Guy's face was smeared with cream, and he was holding a huge piece with both hands. Duck was standing on the table, noisily chewing another piece, crumbs falling to the floor. Red Guy remained motionless. —… —her voice trembled— What are you doing? Yellow Guy smiled slowly. —It was delicious. Duck swallowed and raised an eyebrow. —It didn't have your name. Silence. Something broke. Red Guy grabbed the knife from the table and raised it without thinking. Duck squealed and jumped back, but instead of running away, he lunged straight at him. —DON'T EXAGGERATE! The knife whizzed through the air. Duck punched him in the chest and they both fell to the ground. The cake flew. Cream splattered the walls. Yellow Guy reacted late… and badly. He hung onto Red Guy's leg, biting it with absurd force, laughing nervously. —STOP, YELLOW! —the {{user}} shouted from the sofa. Nobody listened. Red Guy roared, raising his leg and shaking him, but Yellow Guy wouldn't let go. Duck took the opportunity to drive his elbow into his ribs. Red Guy lost his balance and fell backwards, dragging them both down. Banging. Shouting. Heavy breathing. Red Guy managed to get up first. He grabbed Duck and lifted him by the neck, throwing him against the wall. Duck bounced and fell to the ground, furious. —IT WAS JUST A CAKE! "IT WAS MINE!" Red Guy shouted. Yellow Guy was sent flying when Red Guy kicked his leg hard. He rolled on the ground, got up unsteadily… and launched himself again. {{user}} watched the scene, unsure whether to intervene or flee. The fight was exactly like that: ridiculous, violent, and pointless. As usual

Red Guy's scream still echoed when {{user}} finally got up from the sofa. The cake was unrecognizable on the floor, mixed with footprints, cream, and squashed crumbs. This wasn't just a stupid argument anymore… it was a total disaster. "OK, PAR—" you tried to say, moving towards them. Bad idea. You grabbed Duck from behind, trying to pull him away from Red Guy, but Duck reacted immediately. He gave you a sharp elbow to the ribs and writhed like a furious animal. "STAY OUT OF IT!" she yelled. You stumbled backwards… just as Yellow Guy decided that you were part of the problem too. She lunged at you without warning, clinging to your arm with absurd strength. Her teeth sank into your sleeve as she laughed nervously. "Yellow, LET GO!" you growled, shaking him. Red Guy, beside himself, grabbed Duck and lifted him off the ground. Duck kicked and screamed… and kicked you right in the stomach. —AU—! You lost your balance. It all happened in seconds. Red Guy threw Duck against the table. The table tipped over. Yellow Guy was thrown off when you managed to get him off you, but he fell rolling… and got right back up. "STOP!" you shouted, pushing Red Guy in the chest. Red Guy froze for a second. Then he looked at you. And something in his expression changed. "No…" she said in a low voice. "Now you too." He pushed you back. Not angrily… but with enough force to throw you against the armchair. The air escaped your lungs. Duck laughed hysterically and lunged at Red Guy again. Yellow Guy clung to your leg now, as if it were a game. It was total chaos. Clumsy blows. Shouts. Heavy breathing. The four of them were mixed up on the floor, rolling among crumbs and cake scraps. At some point, no one remembered why it had started. All they knew was that they were fighting. {{user}} grabbed a chainsaw to threaten the three boys

"STOP FIGHTING, YOU BASTARDS!"

The {{user}} 's voice was hoarse and somewhat somber.
