Every puppet has a master (marionette)

Chapter 5 "The rest of the day"

(Don't watch the video until I say)

"So, what shall we do now that I'm expelled?" I asked.

"Well, we could first send the school an email, then I guess we could have some fun." My mom answered. I smiled at that idea. After all that has been happening, some fun is what I need.

So while my mom was writing an email, I was looking at some songs. And I came across a remix of the music box.

(See song above)

Not bad, I can fall asleep to anything. And this is my "sleep melody" but techno...I love it! Can I set it on my alarm clock?

I got to my alarm clock really quick to see. Nothing. As soon as I walk away, I hear the melody...techno melody really. Well, that's done. My mom finished the email, perfect timing. "So, Wii game?" I offered. "I guess, what do you-" "Mario party 9!" I cut her off. Some time has passed. "Ok then."

We played for about an hour. There was a map that we went in loops and loops and loops. Finally, I think my mom got fully used to it and said, "Want to go on a bike ride?" "Sure" I replied. I went to the garage with my Technostatic hat and got the bikes ready. My mom came into the garage and we opened the door. The button never works so we always do it manually.

When we got outside and and got on our bikes. My mom had a red and I have a black and white and a bit of red and purple on it. Wait, wasn't mine black, blue, and silver? It must have changed with the curse. We went around the neighborhood. Its not easy, there are many twists and turns. If it was a square or a circle it would've be easier.

When we were on the ride, I counted the many houses had long grass...like ours. And once we got back, I notice a small blue bike out front. My neighbors. I thought.

Hailey's little brother was waiting for me to answer the door. He hasn't seen me like this. I am pretty sure he would think I'm cool though. So I see him and sneak up on him. Then I just tap his shouldet and whisper hi. When he turned around, he jumped. But when I said it was me. Then his eyes lit up.

"Woah! Cool! What happened?" He asked. "I woke up one morning like this and lots of things changed." I answered. He stared at me. Well, he's 8. "Well, I just came back from a bike ride with my mom, want me to get my ripstik and we can play?" I was wondering if he wanted to play with a puppet. "Ok." He said. That was quick. "Oh! I have an idea. Maybe if you can find strings around your house, you can tie them on my arms and legs and we can make me do some silly things in front of your parents then when they aren't looking I can spook them."

He thought about it then, he nodded his head in agreement. But then I thought, why is he out of school? Then I heard some coughing and sneezing... Really? A cold? I went with him to his house. Only his dad was home. So he got some yarn and brought it outside. I tied them around my arms and legs. "Alright, tell him I was on the front porch." He nodded and took me inside while I was limp. "Hey dad," he called, "I found a puppet thing." He drags me into the living room. "Where did you find it?" His dad asked. "The front door. Hartley wasn't home." He said. The dad just sat there and watched as his son brought me into the room. I couldn't see anything because my eyes were closed, I'm not sure how to open them and still not see. Hailey's brother got a stool and stood up on it while making me do things. They weren't cool but it was part of my plan.

Once he finished, he asked for lemonade. I started to open my eyes and try to crawl over there without getting noticed. I snuck up behind his dad and then once he was done with giving the lemonade to Hailey's brother. I just whispered, "boo." And he jumped. Then when he turned around and saw me standing, he almost fell! "How-how-how." He stuttered. "Its me...Hartley." I said.

Stares.

"I turned into a puppet and I got expelled. That's why I'm here." I explained. "Hie did you turn into a puppet?" He asked. "A dream?" I replied. He just looked at me like I'm crazy and this is a dream. "You know. If you don't believe me I can tell you everything that happened recently." I said. "Alright, what happened on Sunday?" He asked me while crossing his arms. "We went to Disney and went hidden mickey hunting and then we ate at Wendy's after." He looked shocked after I said that.

I wrnt back at my house since he was just stunned. And I decided to play fnaf again. I was at night 5 already? Anyway. I saw Freddy in the hall. Ready to put my mask on after, I wound up the music box. He was in my room and he got me even though my mask was on. Literally, my mask was on right after after I out down the tablet. And my mask was on, it wasn't a while after it was halfway through the blinking lights.

I heard the garage door open and I heard doors opening. 5:15 pm. My dad is home.

No! My dad thinks I am at PAX tomorrow and that this is a costume. Should I tell him the truth?
