"This just in Arthur Nooner has been found. The man was wanted on several charges including, Kidnapping of five children and one adult, child sex trafficking, and, attempted murder along with a few misdemeanors as well. He was found in a small cigarette shop just outside of Kilkenny, he had apparently tried to rob the shop owner from the back, the owner admitted to police that he had beat Arthur with his bat that he uses for protection-"
Felix let out a huff and shut off the hospital TV cutting the woman off in midsentence.
"How did ye guys convince Att-...I mean Arthur not to...Ye know...Confess that five guys beat the living shit outta him?" Jack asked from his hospital bed. Felix looked at Jack, his friend had bandages around his wrists, and probably his ankles as well he was in pretty good shape despite the bruises and cuts on his face.
"It's simple, we told him if he ratted on us we'd go to jail with him and see what we really can do." Ken smiled from behind the book he's reading.
"Ah..." Jack hummed out before he shifted his attention to Mark, his friend still fast asleep.
"He'll be fine, Jackaboy, he's Markiplier, he'll bounce back...Though if he would have waited like we all agreed on this might not have happened." Wade sighed softly as he was the closest to Mark.
"Still...He came to get me...I wish he was awake so I can tell him how thankful I am for that...I mean don't get the wrong idea, you all came to get me as well and I am extremely grateful and happy to have friends like you." Jack quickly said, Felix sighed out softly and leaned back in his chair.
"Buuuut." Felix started looking at Jack causing everyone to look at Felix in response, "He did risk his life for you...Unlike us. We wanted to play it safe, I still don't know if that was the right thing to do or not...Maybe if we did go with him, things would have been different."
"Yeah...I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't see this earlier...I mean I only make theories for a living! Gah!" Matpat beat himself up as he threw his hands in the air in anger.
"So, Just out of curiosity, how badly did ye guys flip when ye found out he was gone?" Jack asked softly and quickly everyone started to chuckle.
"Well, we didn't really flip, we knew where he had gone, buuuut...Felix here had a not so smooth idea at the time." Ken laughed.
"Which was?"
Everyone turned to Felix who was shrinking in his chair.
"I...Ah...May or may not have called someone on skype for help." Felix muttered scratching his neck.
"He called Cry in a panic." Wade finished earning a low laugh from Jack.
"What? You did?!"
"Yeah, let's just say he wasn't impressed-" Felix started but was cut off by Ken suddenly pretending to be Felix.
"Oh, Thank goodness! Cry! Mark ran off!" Ken laughed mocking his friend, Matpat then cut in pretending to be Cry,
"Then why the fuck are you calling me?! I'm in Florida, you moron!"
Everyone stopped and looked at Matpat with wide eyes.
"Dude, that's the first time I heard ye say 'fuck'" Jack spoke and Matpat shrugged.
"Most of my audience are kids, gotta get it PG unlike some of you."
"Yeah can't argue with that." They all pretty much agreed.
All of a sudden the door opened and in came a couple of nurses, each nurse pushing a cart in front of them, on the carts were just piles upon piles of gifts.
"We have some gifts here for uh...Jacksepticeye and Markipiler. This isn't even all of it.." The male nurse laughed as he and the other nurse parked the gifts inside the already cramped room.
"Word travels fast..." Jack breathed out looking at the gifts.
"Like I said, that's not even half of the stuff people sent you, You guys have some adamant fans." The guy laughed before turning and walking out with the other nurse.
"Oh! Look! Jack! Someone sent you a plushie septic eye Sam!" Ken cooed as he picked up the green stuffed eye.
"Nice, toss it," Jack said and Ken did so throwing the plush toy to Jack who caught it with ease. Attached to the tiny Sam was a card, Jack opened it and put his hand to his mouth as he read the note.
Jack, I know this might go unnoticed because I'm sure you and Mark are probably going to get millions of gifts for what happened, but if by some chance you read this...
I hope you and Mark get better, you two are amazing! I don't know if you know this or not but your stories are going viral EVERYWHERE! Tumblr, Reddit, especially YouTube, and even 4Chan.
Welp, I'm running out of space on this card, please, get better.
Your friend, Thomas Sanders.
P.S. I have a very special vine for you when you get back online.
Closing the card, Jack let out a soft sigh and hugged the Sam to his chest.
"Damn, look at some of this gifts-OH MY GOD!" Felix suddenly yelled everyone watched as he ducked to the bottom of the cart and pull out an enormous teddy bear, the thing was wider than he was and went up to his knees if placed on the floor.
"...No way...Keemstar sent this to you!" Wade exclaimed Jack felt his head snap up at that revelation.
"Keemstar? You're joking!" Jack yelled and Wade ripped the paper off of the bear's chest and started to read,
To Jacksepticeye, get better soon. Oh and tell Mark I'm still waiting on that collab.
-Keemstar.
"Wears his heart on his sleeve doesn't he?" Bob laughed softly.
Slowly they went through every one of the gifts, mostly just stuffed animals with cards attached to them. Though there was one transformer but that was beside the point, A part of Jack felt bad, It was nice to get all these gifts, but his mind went to the kids he was trapped in the home with,]. Thankfully they all got out and were all only a few rooms down, they should be leaving soon seeing how their wounds weren't as serious as Mark's or Jack's own...
Looking at all the presents he had gotten, a light bulb went off.
"Take the card off of that teddy bear," Jack ordered as he pointed to the giant one Keemstar gave him. As they did what he asked, he quickly signed his signature on the blank paper. Catching on to what he was doing, he handed the paper to everyone else, along with the pen, who did the same, once everyone signed it they handed it back to Jack who looked over to Mark and sighed.
"Should we give it to the boys now? Or wait for Mark to wake up?" Jack asked the others, in which Matpat answered with,
"Mark is gonna be high for the next few days, that's what the nurses told me because of his injuries he was given some strong pain medication, so...We should just give it them and explain why Mark couldn't sign it."
"Wait, Mark is going to be high...I'll...I'll be right back." Matt got up and walked out of the room they watched as he grabbed his phone out of his pocket but went out of sight before they saw anything else.
"He's gonna film Mark when he wakes, isn't he?" Ken asked.
"It is a gold mine...We're all gonna do it aren't we?" Felix questioned and everyone nodded chuckling softly. They all then went quiet and watched as the nurses came back in, two more carts filled with presents and even a few with flowers for them.
"Well...Damn..." Wade breathed out looking at all the presents.
"Welcome to the first and hopefully last installment of...Mark is high as f~" Matt sang as he pointed his phone camera to Mark sitting dopily in his bed.
Mark looked at the camera and let out a low chuckle.
"What's so funny, Mark?" Matpat asked from off camera, that only caused Mark to laugh louder.
"Hey Mark! Ye have to go to work!" Jack yelled from across the room and Mark's laughter stopped.
"Noooooo..." Mark whined slumping in bed, suddenly he laid down and moved his blanket over his head.
"Mark...Whatcha doin' buddy?" Felix asked.
"If I hide, I don't have to go to work..." Mark replied, muffled by the blanket.
"That's not how it works. Mark, you have to go to work." Ken told him sternly.
"Why!?" Mark exploded sitting up throwing the blanket off of him, "Why can't I...Just play video games! I want to play video games!"
Everyone laughed at his reaction and Matt was the first to speak, still laughing,
"M-Mark you...You do play video games for work."
"...I do?"
"Mark, you're a lets player."
Mark's eyes widened slowly as his jaw dropped. Everyone couldn't help but howl with laughter at his reaction.
"I AM?!...Am I up there with Pewdiepie!?"
"Mark, buddy, I'm right here! You're friends with Pewdiepie!" Felix responded still laughing, clutching his stomach as he was about ready to fall out of his chair with laughter.
"OH MY GOD! YOU'RE PEWDIEPIE!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?"
Felix finally fell out of the chair.
"Matt! Please tell me you're getting this!" Matpat yelled as he two fell to his knees howling with laughter.
"You are fooked up!" Jack laughed loudly as he wiped tears out of his eyes.
"JACKSEPTICEYE! MY BUDDY! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?"
Matt dropped his phone by accident as he bent down to get it he collapsed to the ground screaming with laughter. All of them, except Jack and Mark, were on the ground by the end of it, their guts burning as they laughed.
Getting back up, Phone in hand, still giggling, Matt spoke,
"Ok, I'm running low on space, Mark is there anything you'd like to say to the people at home watching this?"
"...Don't...Do drugs! and don't run into other people's home because you might get hit with a shovel!"
"You heard it here, folks, shovels will attack you if you break into their homes. Until next time."
Stopping the video, Matt watched as everyone slowly picked themselves up, still giggling and laughing, Bob started to cough he was laughing so hard.
"Oh god, with everything that happened...I needed that laugh." Jack shook his head. They all sniffled as they wiped their teary eyes. Matpat then brought his phone out, it almost looked like he was ready to take a selfie with Mark but then a voice spoke.
"Hi, Mark!" Stephanie spoke happily from the other side.
"Wow! You are...Very pretty! You will break hearts I swear it, are you seeing anyone?!" Mark practically yelled, causing the others to laugh.
"Mark, she's my wife." Matpat deadpanned as Stephanie blushed a little on the other side.
"You are a lucky man then because she is pretty. You treat that woman right." Mark told him sternly as Stephanie's blush rose even more on her face.
"And I am. Ok that's enough of that."
Matpat walked away as Stephanie laughed,
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's a little high right now-"
"NO I'M NOT! I'm in a bed..." There was a silence as Mark grabbed the remote to his bed and pressed the button rising the bed just a little off the ground, "Now, I'm high."
Matpat tittered and shook his head,
"Go to bed, Mark..."
"I AM IN BED! Now I'm low..." Mark giggled as he brought his bed back down.
"As you can see and hear, he's a little...Out of it."
"Very out of it by the looks of it. Oh, Matt, I wanted to say we have gotten countless letters and gifts over the past few days."
"Steph. Look at Mark and Jack got within the last three hours." Matpat turned the phone to the four carts resting in the room full of toys and letters.
"Damn." She breathed out.
"We're giving some to the kids that were kidnapped, Anyway, I'm running low on battery so I'm going to have to call you back."
"Ok, I love you, Mat."
"I love you too, Steph-"
"YOU BETTER LOVE HER! SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER! IF YOU DON'T I WILL COME TO YOUR HOME AND-" Mark suddenly screamed
"STOP FLIRTING WITH MY WIFE!" Matpat screamed back as Stephanie let out a low chortle at the two.
"Goodbye, Mat." She smiled before she hung up. Matpat just chuckled as he looked at the others, they were all clearly shaking their heads.
"Matpat's possessive, who knew?" Ken shrugged as everyone laughed warmly.
"Oh look, he finally passed out." Felix pointed to Mark who was now fast asleep.
"Hey! Ye guys need to keep it down!" A nurse yelled as she burst through their door. "There's a man in a coma next door." She seethed. Jack smiled and snickered before he exploded with laughed.
"W-Why? A...Are ye afraid we're going to wake him?" He asked as he put his hand to his head. The others laughed with him and the nurse turned bright red.
"Just keep it down! This is still a hospital!" She snarled before storming out.
"Oh...People are crazy..." Bob shook his head.
"Yeah, they are...Anyways...I'm feeling pretty tired. I think I'm going to just shut me eyes for a little while" Jack yawned, they watched as he flopped over to his side and shut his eyes. Slowly, one by one they left the two, Felix being the last one to leave.
"Goodnight..." He whispered before shutting the light off.
Jack was the first to be released from the hospital, Still, he didn't feel comfortable uploading anything, not while Mark was still stuck in Ireland. It took almost a month for Mark to make a noticeable recovery. Bob, Wade, Matpat, and Matt had to leave back for America before Mark was finally able to go home.
"Geez..." Mark groaned as he rubbed his stomach. "My still ribs hurt like a motherfucker." He half whined as he stood to board his plane home.
"The doctor said the pills would take thirty to forty minutes to take effect." Jack reminded him.
"Yeah. I know...Jack...Stay safe, Buddy." Mark smiled as he lightly tapped his friend on the shoulder.
"C'mere," Jack muttered as he brought Mark in for a hug.
"Ow...Ow..." Mark breathed out as his ribs protested the sudden pressure.
"Thank ye..." Jack breathed out and Mark smiled as he lightly patted Jack's back.
"No problem...I know...If the situations were reversed, you would have done the same."
They broke away once they heard two women giggling from afar.
"I'll text you."
"Same...Mark?"
Mark paused in mid-turn as Jack crossed his arms.
"Seriously, though...Thanks...I mean it."
"I'll see you on the flip side." Mark smiled, giving one last wave to Jack as Mark boarded his flight. Getting into his seat, Mark sighed out as a weird feeling of relief flushed over him.
After a long flight back home, Mark was greeted by a very happy Chica once through his door.
"Oh did you miss me? I know you did, Little Chica-bica..." Mark happily rubbed her ears and patted her head. After giving Ryan some money for watching his little Chica, Mark promptly fell into bed, exhausted.
"Ok, it's not hard, Mark. Just read this insane apology Leafy wrote, that's all." Keemstar told him as he showed Mark the long ass apology that Leafy was giving to someone.
"So I don't even make an appearance, Just my voice?...I'm cool with that." Mark smiled as he continued to read.
"Alright, the mic is being tested-"
"Oh!" Mark suddenly yelled stopping Keemstar from finishing his sentence, as a loud 'ding!' came from Mark's pocket, Keem watched over Mark's shoulder as he pulled out his phone. "Sorry, Keem, Jack just uploaded something."
"You set your phone to notify you whenever Jack uploads?"
"After what happened? Yes. Oh! It's a lets play! He's back to lets playing!" Mark suddenly grabbed his chest as he sat down in Keem's chair.
"I'll let you have your the little moment. Hey! How's the mic's?" Keem yelled to someone as he walked away.
Mark bit his lip as he shakily pressed the play button.
"TOPOFTHEMORNINGTOYOULADDIES! MY NAME IS JACKSEPTICEYE AND...And...God is it good to be back..."
FIN.
