Ok I thought, my nightmare has come true. Odd. Come on get up. I struggle a bit to stand up. Then again, I'm a puppet. No strings, no bones, and no heart. I got up after a few minutes and turned off my music. My alarm clock was still playing that song! Then I realized it changed. It told the time, but had two options. Sleep melody, and wake up song. Oi. I though.

I got to the kitchen, but thought that I was a puppet, so I don't have a digestive, cardiac, nervous, and respiratory system. So technically I could just make my bed and get dressed for school. So I made my bed then threw on my clothes. One problem though, they were too big on the waist and the shirt was too loose. So I guess no clothes for me. But how will I put on shoes? My feet are small stubs. Good thing I'm not as skinny as the real version. So I just turned on my computer and played fnaf 2. I don't know why, I would be playing Titanfall. But my brain (If I have one) told me to play this. So I played from night one to night 3. Then my mom came in...

"Time to-What!?" She yelled a bit. "Hartley? Is that you?" She stuttered. "Yes mom, I forgot you haven't seen me like this yet. But I can explain on the way to my bus stop." So my mom still staring at her puppet son walked out into the dinning room and got her shoes on. I just put on my backpack because my shoes won't fit.

We got in the car and I told her about my nightmare. Then I told her it came true! My wrong dream came true, I wanted money... Anyway. I got to the bus stop and there were only three people. My neighbor (Hailey), a YouTube friend (Trevor), and another friend from school (Glen).

All just stared.

I told them all about my dream. "So, your the Marionette from fnaf 2?" Hailey asked. "Pretty much." I replied. "Am I on-" then Trevor got cut off. "This is real!" I said before he said anything else. "But how?" Glen asked, "It was just a dream. Your brain doesn't just decide to make you Marionette." That is true, but it wasn't just any dream.

My bus came first shockingly, and it almost didn't pick us up. My thoughts...another substitute.

And everyone just stared.

After the bus ride to school...I was the first in the court yard! That's unusual. I looked at every student and staff of my school look at me while walking by. This will be a very interesting day. My friends came to where we usually talk during this time of day. All avoided me. I didn't bother talking to them.

Then the bell rang for homeroom to start. I walked all the way to the back of the school for my first period class. Robotics. It was weird. I go and see the teacher and she didn't notice me. So I sat in my assigned seat. And waited for people to flood in, and just...stare.

I seemed to have made it just sitting there the entire 45 minutes of the class. Just wait for it. The deans will call me to the office shortly. However they don't know who I am and which class I have next.

Second period. Book fair. I...am...broke. I have absolutely no money. Everyone doesn't look at me. Then when I found a book and laughed at it. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was one of my friends!

"I'll recognize that laugh anywhere." She said while looking what I had in my hand. "So Hartley...it is you right?" She asked. "In the-cloth?" I paused to think about what I was made of. Good thing I didn't have tag. That would be embarrassing. "Tesla's Attic! I loved that book!" Kiersten said excitingly. She has brown hair, brown eyes and very skinny. Sometimes uses a British accent! Jealous though, I want an Irish accent. Besides the point, she agreesnto get me it with a co technological bookmark. Luckily, my three best friends now know who I truly am.

Third period came. Again, people just stare. No longer just me. But the people talking to me. My teachers just ignore the fact that I'm there, same goes for people who annoy me.

Lunch time. I go to the cafeteria and once I enter I hear people whisper to each other and stare at me. Must be weird to see a walking puppet from a popular game with glowing eyes walking into a school's cafeteria. I sit down and just take out my phone since I'm allowed, and start playing some games. I talked to my friends and told them my story. Stephanie gave me huggles. It's just something we made up. She's weird like me. Has black hair and is slightly shorter than me. Even after my transformation...would you call it that?

Fifth period...science. Hooray! Forgot my homework. Luckily by sitting in another seat my teacher walked right past me and...Again...stared. I'm getting used to it.

Time for math! I do my normal routine, but I never get called on. My math teacher just...doesn't seem to see me.

Seventh period. U.S. History...Time to get grades back. Luckily my friend got my test so she knows who to give it to. When the teacher called my name and waited for the class to respond, "He's absent." I said my score...stares. The rest of the time was silent after a quick assignment.

Final period? Thank goodness. Chorus. We sang some songs and I sat at the end. Singing quietly to my self. My chorus teacher and I are friends. Not sure how he'll react to my...appearance.

After that was done. I decided to head to the Library with Kiersten to read my new book. If you look on the cover quickly enough it looks like "Technostatic" instead of, "Tesla's Attic."

Finally the end of the day hit. And I got on my bus and waited until I got home. How will I explain this to my dad?

My dad comes home late. So I fell asleep before he got home. I closed my door and turn on the music box...and slept...dreaming about tomorrow.
