This article lists the interactions between Pen and Tennis Ball.
Despite both being original contestants, the two were on different teams until TPOT, so almost never interacted. After being placed on Are You Okay together, the two became good friends, with Pen inviting Tennis Ball into his group of "bros". After the Team Swap, the pair were still on the same team—
—where Pen gladly follows and supports Tennis Ball's leadership.
The two often worked alongside Eraser before being split up in What's Up Bell's String. Interactions between the three are listed at Eraser, Pen, and Tennis Ball.

Pen later demonstrates this by comforting Tennis Ball as well.
In "Seasonal Shift", when Tennis Ball says they must stop Kitchen Sink, Pen says he and Liy are on it, and Tennis Ball helps them construct a paper plane.

Once they manage to retrieve Kitchen Sink, Pen says they should leave, and Tennis Ball reluctantly agrees, despite wanting to try fixing the timeline.
In "The Power of Four", Pen asks Tennis Ball where the two of them and Liy could hide. Tennis Ball suggests the Clubhouse of Awesomeness.

Episodes suggesting a conflict[]

Surprised, Pen retorts that he hasn't been in control for the past eighty bounces. Also in that episode, Tennis Ball hits Pen, and maybe TV would've solved the situation, but he was on the fake fish monster.
