Together: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: Trinity and Nicky visit Mr. Peterson together.

"Trinity Bales.", started Mr. Peterson, "Raven Brooks' best kid detective, and future missing child."

Trinity glared at the man behind bars, and her friend, Nicky stood behind her, crow bar in hand.

She had gone to Nicky and told her that their friends were in trouble, but Nicky was still in a weak mental state at the time. Trinity was close to giving up, but just as she was about to leave Nicky's house, she felt him put a hand on her shoulder.

He looked like he'd finally snapped out of it. His eyes were still a little strained, but he wasn't mumbling nonsense anymore, nor was he wearing the bag.

He had decided to go with her to visit Mr. Peterson this time, and he came prepared, that explains the crow bar he brought.

Trinity stepped closer to the man. "Is that supposed to scare us?", she asked. Then she held up the book, "Because we found your book."

Despite her confidence, she still felt a little scared. Nicky too, he backed up against the wall with the crow bar in hand.

Mr. Peterson's eyes widened, then they darkened. "Then you're in even more danger.", he said. He reached his hand through the bars and tried to snatch it, "Give it to me!"

Nicky swung at Mr. Peterson's hand with the crow bar, making the man jerk it back. "Don't touch her.", he growled.

Trinity waved the book around. "Oh, want it back? Tell me who or what is after us.", she said firmly.

Mr. Peterson let out a condescending laugh, and he smiled the most evil, horrible, wicked smile anyone's ever seen.

"You enjoy spying on people, don't you?", he asked Trinity. "The intrusion? The thrill?"

"I'm not here to play games, weirdo.", said Trinity.

"I could see across your house from mine, you know.", Mr. Peterson said in a deep voice. "I watched your parents fight, watched you do your homework, watched you."

Nicky readied the crow bar in his hands, but Trinity put her arm in front of him.

"Fine. Don't help.", she said. She pointed at Mr. Peterson, "Enjoy rotting in here.", she grabbed Nicky by the hand. "Come on, Nicky."

They walked away from Mr. Peterson, both deeply disappointed that this man was absolutely no help. Well, Trinity was more frustrated, Nicky didn't really expect anything from him since everything that happened before Trinity got the coin.

"You two won't just walk away. You can't.", said the man. "You're obsessed."

Trinity rolled her eyes.

"Nicholas...", said the man, "Your friend is obsessed,...just like she was in Shelbyville."

The kids stopped in their tracks, chills running down their spines. Trinity especially looked scared.

"I'm guessing she never told you about that, did she?", Mr. Peterson asked Nicky. Nicky didn't look back at him, he just shook his head. "No, she didn't. But I don't want to know."

Mr. Peterson let out another condescending laugh. "Why not? She's a little monster. Her parents know it, I know it, and soon, everyone will."

Nicky still didn't turn around, he just looked at Trinity's scared face as she clutched the book to her chest.

"I'm sure you know it, but you just don't want to admit it. To her or yourself."

This time, Nicky did turn around. He was about to swing the crow bar at him again, but Trinity put her arm in front of him again. "That all you got?", she said, not at all intimidated by the man.

Then Mr. Peterson said something that made both Trinity and Nicky's heart plummet.

"Who will they blame when your friends turn up dead, Trinity?", he said. Then he looked around the hallway. "And where are your friends now, hm?"

Nicky looked at Trinity, wanting an answer too, because he didn't want to believe that his friends were dead. He didn't want his thoughts to be true.

Trinity stuttered. "I...I don't know.", she said. "We...we were ambushed."

Nicky's eyes widened in shock. His heart started beating faster with the thought of all of his friends being dead or missing.

"Ambushed?", asked Mr. Peterson, "Uh oh. Sounds like there's a nasty little traitor in your ranks. A real rat.", he said, walking back into his cell to the wall. "I wonder which one."

Nicky wanted to snap at him, to bang on the bars of his cell in anger for ever thinking that any of his friends would ever turn on them. But he just looked at the floor, eyes filled with worry.

"We trust our friends.", said Trinity. Nicky nodded, agreeing with her.

But Mr. Peterson kept thinking aloud. "Hmm...that timid little mouse of a boy or the insect with the bat.", he said, clenching his fist. Then he turned around and looked straight at Nicky, "Or maybe it's you, Nicholas."

Nicky backed all the way up against the wall, losing his grip on the crow bar he held in his hands. His eyes were wide with fear as he looked at Mr. Peterson.

"Do you want to come back yet? Back home?", he asked. He held onto the bars of his cell door, "I miss you my boy."

The last part came out like a growl.

Trinity snatched the crow bar from Nicky's hands as she noticed that he was about to drop it, then she banged on the cell door. Mr. Peterson took a step back.

"Stop it! Your mind games won't work!", she said. She calmed down a bit, but still stood her ground. "The only way we help you is you help us. Who is Crowface? And how is this book connected to stuff?"

She began to flip through the pages of the black book. Mr. Peterson just stared at her wickedly.

"Ah...it's a secret.", he said. He motioned for the kids to come over. "Both of you, come close, and I'll whisper it into your little ears."

Nicky just stood against the wall, curling in on himself, not moving an inch towards the bars his enemy stood behind.

"Why is this book so dangerous?", asked Trinity.

Mr. Peterson gave her a stern look. "Our masked guest is dead set on making their lives magnificent, our lives made worse.", he said.

Trinity and Nicky looked down at the floor.

"My life has been pretty miserable lately.", said Trinity. Nicky nodded, "Mine too."

"Someone has to suffer for someone else to soar."

"Who in Raven Brooks is dishing out all of this trouble?", asked Trinity. Mr. Peterson just stared back at her.

"Lots of us are hiding secrets, aren't we?", he said, saying the last bit as he looked at Nicky. The boy looked away from him, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of scaring him more than he already has.

Nicky took a deep breath. "Everyone in your book is a creep. I thought it was just you, and maybe my science teacher, but it turns out you're not the only one."

"Not the only one.", said Mr. Peterson. "Hm..."

A moment of silence passed by, and Trinity began pacing. She didn't want to believe that any of her friends could be a traitor, especially not Nicky.

She knew that he had every reason to do so, especially after what happened at school, but he didn't. So it couldn't be him. It could only be one of her other friends, who she still didn't know where they were.

She dreaded all of the things that could've happened to them.

"Your pursuers must not acquire my book.", said Mr. Peterson. Trinity looked at the book in confusion.

"So...burn it?", she asked. Nicky shrugged, "Sounds like a plan to me."

Mr. Peterson growled, startling Nicky and making him back up against the wall again. Trinity still stood in her place. Then Mr. Peterson smiled wickedly again.

"Then you'll never know the truth. Will you?"

Trinity looked at the book once again.

"I can see the goosebumps on your skin.", said the man, "On both of your skin."

A pause, "Free me and -"

Nicky shook his head, "Absolutely not!", he said. He calmed down when he realized his voice was a little too loud, "We can do this by ourselves, Peterson."

Trinity nodded, agreeing with her friend. "Yes, Nicky's right. We just need to -"

"We can only stop them if you let me out of here."

Both of the kids looked at the man, incredulously. Nicky scoffed, "What makes you think we need your help with stopping them? Especially after -"

"Your friend made herself a part of this.", said the man. "Our fates are entwined now. You two need my help, and I -"

Trinity put her hand up, "No. I don't trust you.", she said. "The realtor..."

"Lucy...", said Nicky.

"The hardware store clerk.", Trinity continued on.

"Aaron and Mya. I don't know about Aaron, but I know about Mya."

"They're dead because of you!", Trinity finished. "No way in hell I'm gonna -"

"How dare you.", growled Mr. Peterson.

He grabbed the bars of his cell door. "I didn't hurt those people, and I never laid a finger on my children, especially not you or Lucy, Nicholas.", he said, looking at Nicky as he said that last bit. "That was the nasty handiwork of our masked acquaintance."

Nicky looked at the floor once again, completely shocked. "So I was wrong about him.", he thought. "He's not a killer."

"So you're not a killer?", asked Trinity. Mr. Peterson growled.

"What I am is tired of waiting.", he said. "Get me out and I'll take care of everything. I started this, now let me finish it."

He took a breath, then reached his hand through the bars. "Deal?", he asked.

Both Trinity and Nicky just looked at the hand, completely frightened.

"Take my hand, children.", he said.

Neither moved to take his hand.

"Take it.", he said once again. Still, neither of them made a move.

"Take. My. Hand.", he growled.

Trinity turned around to leave, "I'm good.", she said, scared. Mr. Peterson reached both of his arms through the bars, almost like he was about to grab her.

"Take it you sniveling pest!", he growled. Trinity just ran out of the hallway as Mr. Peterson kept screaming.

"Take my hand! Take my hand! TAKE IT! TAKE IT!!", he screamed.

What Trinity didn't realize was that Nicky was still standing there in fear, watching as Mr. Peterson became completely unrecognizable. Once a kind family man, now a monster. Mr. Peterson turned to look at him, and he smiled.

"Come on now, Nicholas.", he said. "You've followed her like a pet for long enough now. It's time you came home with me."

He reached through the bars to Nicky, and Nicky just stood against the wall, not wanting to take that gloved hand.

"I never meant for Lucy's death to happen, and I promise I've never laid a hand on my children. I never raised a hand to you while you were in my home, have I?", he said.

Nicky didn't want to admit it, but Mr. Peterson did have a point. Even while he was slowly descending into insanity, he never even thought about hurting Nicky.

But even that wasn't enough to make Nicky feel better.

Mr. Peterson pulled his hand back into his cell. "I'll give you some time to think about it, dear.", he said. "But don't take too long."

Nicky just walked away, taking his crow bar with him.

Kept Safe

Is your son an omen? Take your neighbour's

[henrymcleanchik]

he's got you!

Hello Neighbor, of all franchises, having a good show was not on my 2024 bingo card, but consider me pleasantly surprised! Here are some screenshot redraws as tribute.

[ghduck]

If you are wondering what software I used, I use Flash CS3 to animate and draw.

(btw posting behind the scenes screenshots later today)

[drowninnoodles]

This is how playing HN2 feels to me

hope you get it

[yummy-funny]

Nicky got caught by the neighbor~

[rumbleonthemill]

silly goofy version I made for this Miku trend

[lemmycheckthis]

I wanna see a flashback of whatever happened in shellbyville.

2. So, since in episode 13 we saw the cultists sabotage every ride, a lot of people will go on those rides and get injured and probably even die.(this isn't really what I hope to happen, but rather what I think will happen)

3. Finch meet Trinity at the boarding school, maybe she would get sent there as some punishment

4. Peterson kill more Forest protectors, he does have a score to set.

5. I want to learn more about Roger and Adele, who might not be Theodore's parents in this continuity

Ideas For WTRB Season 3

Me: *pulls out a list*

1. I want Trinity to escape the cell Mr. Peterson threw her into. Obviously, Mr. Peterson took the keys with him, so she couldn't get out by herself. I have a feeling that someone will find her in there and let her out.

2. I don't want the show to do Trinity how it did Nicky. How no missing posters were put up of Nicky. If they do the same thing to Trinity, I'm gonna fucking scream.

3. I want someone to visit Nicky in the hospital! His parents, his friends, anyone! Hell, at this point, I'd even accept it if Mr. Peterson went to visit him. I love him, I just want him to get better.

4. I want the Inventor's Club to get back together, the finale made me sad.

5. I want that bitch Finch to get a redemption arc, because I will absolutely not accept it if she does the same thing she did to Nicky in Season 2 and get off the hook. Thankfully, Finch is confirmed to join the gang at some point in the series, but if she does something bad to Nicky or anyone else in the group, I want her to get punished for it.

6. I want to see more of Aaron and Mya. I know we saw them in "Dark Echoes", but we only saw them and Mrs. Peterson for a split second. I want to see them more, and I also want to hear who their voice actors are.

7. I want proof that Aaron and Nicky are best friends! 13 episodes into this series, and it still hasn't been confirmed that Aaron and Nicky know each other. If you know Tiny Build and have access to their discord, please ask them if Aaron and Nicky are still besties like they were in Nicky's Diaries and the books.

8. I want Trinity's parents to actually change! Especially that Karen mother of hers. They want to send her to boarding school and they wouldn't even listen to her when she tried to explain to them that their family was in danger. You'd think they'd learn to trust their daughter more after she nearly got kidnapped by a psychopath.

9. I want to see Jay and Luanne Roth. I know we saw them in a picture frame in What Do That Clue Do, but that's not enough. I want to see them care for Nicky.

10. I want to hear Diane's voice actor.

11. I want to see the Forest Protectors' downfall!

12. I know this is weird and kind of wrong, but I want to see more of the Shadow Man. I know he's a bad guy, being a manifestation of Nicky's fears and all, but I just want to see more of him.

13. There's a popular theory that Franklin Peterson (Mr. Peterson's older brother) is either the Shadow Man or The Guest. I think he's The Guest, and I kinda want that theory to be proven true.

What do you guys think? What do you hope to see in Season 3?

[mismess]

Weird people in a weird town where literally nobody likes them

"You're going to have fun Fun FUN!"

Yep Ted, Nicky is definitely having a blast.
