Little One

(2)

The moment you hear his words, tears begin to stream down your cheeks.
"Oh no! Are you okay?" You nod, as you are only crying because nobody has ever called you 'little one' without having ill intentions. Him saying what he did makes you extreamly happy, and all you can do is hug him.
"Tankies...." you whisper. He hugs you back and rises back up with your hand in his, silently asking if you would like to join the other children. Smiling slightly, you join him in walking to the play area.
"Everyone, please welcome our new friend!" he exclaims to the small crowd. The children all circle around you happily. Less nervous than around other parts of the extreamly crowded Pizzaplex, you reach down to the floor, sitting on your knees and letting yourself slip entirely with the comfort of knowing the animatronic knows what you are and that the children welcome you as a friend.
"Am Y/N...!" You state your name so the others can call you by something. Everyone else calls out their names with a squeal and a giggle until it's finally the animatronic's turn. He turns to you.
"I'm Sunrise! You can call me whatever you want, though!" Sunwise? Sunny! You giggle to yourself and smile at Sunrise, then at everyone else.

Playing with the other children around and in the play area, all your nerves go away. Though, the longer you stay, the less children are around as their parents come to pick them up throughout the day. Soon, it is just you and Sunrise.
"It's time to get you home, little one," he says to you, looking at the time.
"Nu! Nu go home! Stay wif Sunny!" He smiles and giggles a bit as you run up to him and hug him tightly.
"How about this," he starts, "if you go home, you can come back tomorrow and see all your new friends again!" You think about this for a little while before replying.
"Seepover!" you say, and begin repeating over and over. Starting to sense that you won't take 'no' for an answer, he gives in and walks away to grab a bunch of blankets and pillows.
"Alright, then. Every good sleepover needs a pillow fort, right?" Hearing this, you jump up and down and you two begin building some of the play area into a pillow and blanket fort.
