This page is about the relationship between Eraser and Pen. With one of the most stable friendships in BFDI, Eraser and Pen almost never have conflict. They have an extremely close relationship, and generally work well together.

In "Battle for Dream Island", Eraser and Pen were almost inseparable. Even to the point where Coiny only mentioned Pen as "Eraser's Friend". Despite Eraser's apathy, and Pen being more empathetic to others around them, Almost all of their activity in the season involved both of them together, especially challenges. Even after Eraser's elimination, Pen used his catchphrase, "Which is!" in place of him. Eraser and Pen often did not speak to, let alone had any interactions with other contestants outside of their friend group.

In "Battle for Dream Island Again", Although Eraser and Pen did not qualify for the season, they appeared to still be close, with sitting in the TLC together, as well as cranking the LOL together.

In "Battle for BFB", Despite Eraser and Pen agreeing to stick together on the same team, they both end up on opposite teams for the first time ever. Because of this, they did not have any interactions throughout the majority of the season. However, a episode opening with them and Blocky sitting at a picnic table having a conversation, revealed that their friendship is still intact.

In "Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two", Eraser and Pen are on the same team again, and are shown to be just as close as they were in Season 1. Although there are moments where they act careless, such as Eraser accidentally killing Pen with a zap ray, and Pen zombifying Eraser, these moments did not seem to affect their relationship at all. However, after they are swapped to opposite teams in "What's Up Bell's String?", they are distraught, but have to learn how to deal with the problem and go on separated.
