Recap: "W-Wait! Don't you want a puppet show? I've got glitter glue, you want glitter glue? G-Googly eyes?" He desperately tried to gain my interest but I shook my head and turned off the lights.

...

Oops?

Now:

"NO! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! LIGHTS ON, LIGHTS ON! I WARNED YOU, I WARNED YOU!" Sunny screamed as he scratched at his face, trying to rip it off in pain. I backed up into the wall watching in fear. Sunny fell backwards and out of sight, there was a moment of silence before a giant version of my Moon plushie stood up.

"Naughty Girl ... Naughty Girl ...bad children must be punished!" It spoke as it danced on the counter before jumping up high and into the shadows, it's laugh echoing.

"S-Sunny...?" I stuttered in fear as I tried to turn the lights back on, but the lights were out... I sighed in defeat and snatched a flashlight from the desk and sprinted into the play structure while clutching my plushies for dear life.

"Night Night~" I heard it say above me as I put a hand over my mouth to quiet my breathing, It's unbearable...The Moon thing was tapping everything to gain some sort of response.

"Where are you, you little rule breaker~" It hummed out in a distance but yet sounded so close.

I poked my head out of one of the holes to get a view of the area, switching on the flashlight only to scream of fear as the Moon face was right there, I threw myself backwards in instinct and crawled away quickly, earning a surprised huff from the Moon.

"Come back~" It hummed while chasing me, I had no idea where I was going but I ran into a generator thingy and pulled the switch before climbing out of the structure and hiding under a small kiddie table.

"You sure are fast but I'm going to catch you eventually~" It laughed as it circled the area, it was so close to the table that I had to hold my breath just to make sure it didn't hear me.

I waited until I saw it's red eyes go back into the structure to find me that I sprinted in the foam flooring and knocking over a bucket tower for distraction and jumped into the structure on the opposite side the Moon was in.

"Augh! Clean up, Clean up." It groaned at the mess as it clawed over and started to stack it back up in silence. I wasted no time to find another generator and flipped it on with a loud 'snap' which scared me hoping that it didn't hear...

I heard rustling behind me and as soon as I turned around there it was...The Moon face with bright red eyes staring into my own e/c ones...

"I found you~ Naughty Naughty, time for punishment." It reached its hand out towards me and I flinched away and backed up into the wall of the structure, next to me was a hole but I was too high up. It's an option though.

The Moon stared at me for a moment, I soon felt tears fall down but I didn't allow myself to blink, if I blink I'm scared that I'll somehow trigger it to attack me. I held my plushies as close to me as possible as The Moon thing sat criss crossed just Infront of me in silence.

"Why are you awake so early? Did you turn off the lights?" It asked me so suddenly, it sounded nicer than before...

"I-I... I turned off the lights for N-Naptime... I'm a stay the night special or whatever..." I strained my voice not the break or even sob which hurt because I was still crying.

"Are you trying to turn the lights back on?" I nodded slowly as it tilted it's head.

After the small question it was silent again, just watching me. My kids were growing heavy and it took everything I had just to not fall asleep Infront of this...Scary Moon thing... I had only closed my eyes for a second and I heard rustling and flinched my eyes open and tossed down the plushies to get as close as possible to the wall as I could. The Moon stopped moving instantly in response to my panic, it hesitated to move before grabbing the plushies at me feet that which I scrambled out of the way, closer to the hole.

"I...Why a Moon Plushie?" It asked with confusion in it's voice, turning it's body again to face me.

"Sun and Moon should always start together... it's a set...I love space..." I mumbled quietly as I stood directly Infront of the hole ready to jump if needed.

The Moon nodded in silence as it started to think. I sighed tiredly, oh how badly I wanted to just lay down and sleep but I can't! I'm too scared... The Moon looked up at me and reached its hand out slowly, offering for mine. My only response was to hug my arms close to my chest, giving it an untrusting look. It didn't seem to like this response because it reached out to me instead, it had only slightly touched my hand that I smacked it away and let myself fall through the hole in the wall and a long way down from the structure.

(It's gonna hurt cause like...your at the tippy top of the structure and foam isn't enough to cushion that fall, poor moon most likely had a heart attack-)

I landed on the foam floor with a hard 'thud' with an additional sound of 'snap' coming from my left arm. I just lied there, unmoving as the pain started to rise in my arm. My vision grew blurry as I saw red eyes staring at me from the top of the structure. I blinked away the tears to clear my vision as I turned over on my stomach and tried to crawl away using my good arm.

I didn't get very far before I was snatched up by the Moon and was placed in it's lap by the wall. Panic set in as I tried to scramble away to which it's response is to just hold me down tighter.

"LET ME GO! PLEASE! LET GO! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME MOTH-- MISTER!" I screamed out trying to get away but suddenly I was greeted by a hug . . .

"Little Child, I am sorry for scaring you...Please Calm Down ..." It spoke gently as it pet my hair, I relaxed slightly and stopped moving.

I allowed it to lay me down on a sleeping bag, It gave me the plushies I lost earlier from my escape. It started to count down from 10 which confused me. When it hit 1, it grabbed my left arm and snapped it into place, earning a blood curdling scream of pain. The Moon was shocked from how loud the scream was as it tried to hush me down nervously. The hallways were still echoing with a deafening ring until it was finally quiet again with just my sobbing left.

"I'm sorry little Starlight, but I needed to fix your arm. Are you okay? Do you want sleep candy? A lullaby?" It asked me nervously as it pet my hair comfortingly as I slowly quieted to just hics every few seconds.

"I-Im sorry... you're not scary....j-just..." I winced from the pain as I held out my arms for a hug, the Moon was confused on what I was asking for so I sighed.

"C-Cuddles please...Mama used to d-do that when I hurt...she doesn't anymore...I miss them..." I whispered nervously as The Moon seemed to understand and lied down next to me and cuddled me protectively as a soft lullaby played like a music box.

"You're safe now...she won't hurt you...MoonDrop is here to protect you my little Starlight..." He hummed out as I drifted off to sleep, not a care in the world. The only thing I could hear in my sleep was the peaceful lullaby that lulled me into deep sleep so gently.

(Moon's not mean, just misunderstood. ÚnÙ, also do you have any ideas for next chapter? I'm open for suggestions I'm running out of ideas ;-;)
