Stuck in the PizzaPlex

A Good Rest

"Welcome to the daycare, new friend!" Sun announces brightly when Gregory decided that it was best that Caytor joins the smaller kids when it comes for their afternoon nap.

"We have a special guest for you two." Gregory says.

"Ooo, a surprise!" the animatronic claps their hands. Gregory smiles before placing a hand on Caytor's head, making Sun gasp.

"New friend! Caytor! Welcome back to the daycare, new friend!" he greets enthusiastically, picking the boy up and twirling him in the air, making the boy laugh brightly.

"Sorry if it might be a bit much, Sun. But the reason why I brought Caytor here was so that he can join Moon's nap time." Gregory explains.

"Oh, yes. I can see that our friend here is quite overdue for some sleep."

Caytor nervously smiles before yawning and looks up when a hand placed on top of his head only to see glowing red eyes as Moon hums, staring at him for a moment.

Then seconds later, the daycare gently dimmed, and Caytor looked over to see children seemingly complaining but soon found places to sleep. Moon then pulls something out to present to Caytor.

"A... candy?" he tilts his head.

"Take one, child." Moon says.

"It's a moondrop candy." Gregory explains as Caytor holds the wrapped candy in his hand. "It might help you finally catch some shut eye."

Caytor hums before unwrapping the candy and popping it into his mouth. He hums quietly at the milk and honey-like taste of the candy, and looks sleepily at the animatronic. "Is this milk mixed with honey?" Caytor yawns.

"Milk and chamomile." Moon answers, their arms open and Caytor walks over and falls asleep peacefully, the animatronic thankfully catching him in time from falling. "Gregory, I would likely have to take care of Caytor after nap time. So can you bring other daycare attendants to play with the children?" the animatronic says.

"You're going to be Moon even when the lights turn back on?" Gregory whispers and the animatronic nods his head. He hums before nodding his head. "Alright, I'll inform the others and see who is free and willing to deal with little kids," he says.

Moon nods their head before they suddenly disappear up into the darkness of the daycare, making Gregory flinch back. I forgot that Moon has a line that lets him just sit in the air practically. He shakes his head before leaving the daycare, ringing up any other workers who would want to spend a few hours, if not the rest of their shift, working in the daycare.

And probably get a few complaints.

He's practically waiting for those employee complaints to notify him on his Fazwatch.

Finding a comfortable spot higher above than the other kids, Moon settles down and sets the sleeping Caytor down onto an ending point of the structure. Finding leftover blankets and pillows, they bring it back over and make the place a bit more softer and warmer for Caytor to sleep better. The animatronic watches closely to make sure the boy will randomly wake up before deciding to take a look at the candy they had given him.

And internally cursed themselves for realizing they gave Caytor the more stronger-hitting candy.

Sun's candy was just itself. Hyperness in a single mouthful.

But Moon has three types. One just to at least calm the kid down, the second for a normal nap, and the last capable of knock out a literal adult. That kind Moon made just for Gregory when he had sleeping problems as he grew, and soon became a bit popular to folks who just want to fall asleep quickly So that's why Caytor had fallen asleep faster. Moon shakes his head before turning to look over all the children sleeping down below.

---

The voice of children squealing and cheering echoed in Caytor's dreamscape, the boy having watched a dream like a movie. But as he had finally woken up, he blinked his eyes open several times and yawned.

"You're awake."

He looks up, a bit flustered at where and what was going on before seeing Moon looking at him.

"Yeah..." Caytor yawns, rubbing his eyes with his palms.

"Do you feel any sleepier, child?"

Caytor hums sleepily, moving over to lean against Moon and look down from the taller parts of the play structure.

"Somewhat... How long was I asleep for?" he asks.

"For a few hours by now." the animatronic says. Caytor hums, closing his eyes once more.

"I think I should catch up on sleeping during the normal sleeping time." he comments. Moon hums back, looking back down at the children before turning back to Caytor.

"Gregory is already waiting for you at the wooden gates." Moon says before jumping down to the play area.

Caytor watches the animatronic, now suddenly Sun once more, the animatronic going about to play with the kids and the few workers allowed to leave. But surprisingly, a few stayed.

After a few minutes of Caytor at least finding a slide to try and get down, he gets out of the play structure and walks over to the security guard waiting by the gate.

"Feeling a bit awake, kid?" Gregory asks, kneeling down to meet the boy's tired gaze.

"Mhm..." Caytor yawns. Gregory chuckles before picking the boy up and letting him sit on his shoulder.

"Come on, Vanessa's by the entrance." he says.

"I don't want to go back..." Caytor whispers, voice meek.

"I promise you're not going back. The reason being is so that you can meet Monty there with her." Gregory smiles.
