Breaking the silence of the room was a deep, unfamiliar voice echoing as it said
"The kids are going to start arriving soon so we should prepare the first batch of pizzas in a few minutes so they would have some time to cook before we open!" There was a click and suddenly the room was illuminated with bright light, I winced slightly as my eyes began to adjust to the sudden light. I looked around the room as I had not been able to see until now. The wall was painted a creamy colour and along each wall was the words "KIDS COVE" with each letter in a different lightly coloured jigsaw piece, yellow, green, pink and blue repeated, the soft, carpeted floor had the same jigsaw pattern. There was a large pile of small, multicoloured boxes in one corner. There was another stripped box in the corner that had plush toys and figures of an unfamiliar bunch of animals that resembled the ones on the carousel. Against a wall, away from the boxes, where I was sitting, had a large, yellow flag that read "KIDS COVE Parents Corner" with a table and chairs with a rainbow spiral pattern on the table top and cushions. A slightly chubby man in a hideous green and white stripped shirt with darker green pants leaned through the door and called out
"The kids are being let in now. Good luck!" in the same voice as the man I heard before. Worried, I turned to Friend and said
"What do we do? Do we even know what to say? Will they like us?" while I stood up and walked to the centre of the room. In a snobby voice Friend said
"We know what to say. They like us!" I smiled at him and I stretched my fingers and swished my tail, and replied
"Thank you, I know you just replay what you hear back, but thank you all the same!" I felt confident that I would do well as I heard kids begin to walk through the front door while chattering like a flock of pigeons.

The group of small kids stood before me expectantly, but I didn't know what to say. Without realising it I opened my mouth and began to talk.
"Welcome, kiddies, to the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! I'm Toy Foxy and this is the Kids Cove! Please don't run around or shove each other, and if you don't do these I'm sure we'll be the best friends possible!" the kids cheered and Friend repeated with a robotic voice
"We'll be the best friends possible!" After I said this the kids all ran towards the toy box and I sighed internally as I saw that not one of them followed what I said. One kid ran back from the toy box holding a plush fox with an eye patch and hooked paw. The kid looked at me, her blond pigtails bouncing slightly as she asked
"Um, Toy Foxy who ish thish?" As I stood, unsure of what to say I felt my mouth open again and I said
"Well, that's old capt'n Foxy!" the kid tugged on her bright pink dress and asked "Whoshe capain Foxy? Ish he a pirate?" I smiled and I heard myself say
"He is! He is the best pirate there ever was! He is even out adventuring right now!" and Friend mimicked me in am unfitting cowboy accent
"The best pirate there ever was!" The kid, satisfied by what I said skipped off happily towards a group of kids and proudly declared
Thish ish capain Foxy! He is the besht pirate ever!" while her friends looked at the plush. However I was confused by what I said, I don't even know WHY I said it at all. My confusion was short lived as I felt small hands wrap around my tail. As I began to turn to see what was happening I felt an intense pain burst from where my tail, flooding my circuits. A robotic screech of pain irrupted from my voice box, which brought the attention of everyone in the room to me. As silence filled the room I turned and saw a kid with dusty brown hair with red overalls and a blue undershirt looking shocked while holding something behind his back. I saw him take out what he was hiding and I was a white tail with a pink tip, my tail. I looked at where my tail was supposed to be but all I could see was a hole where is should be. I could see that the kid had ripped my tail off, the tail part of the endoskeleton included. The kind man who activated me ran into the room and took my tail from the kid. He led me into a room away from the others and he began to reattach my tail.
