Sophie woke up the next morning, laying next Jenny. Jenny was awake, starring at the ceiling then looked at her girlfriend. "Oh! God damn it Soph, you scared me!" She laughed, hitting Sophie gently with a small throw pillow. Sophie laughed, and kissed Jenny's cheek, "oops!" The two girls laughed, and Sophie went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She took her pills, did her hair, got dressed, and waited for Jenny. 

Jenny finished quickly, brushed her teeth, getting dressed, and taking the curlers out of her hair. Her hair never really was curled, but it was wavy, and she liked it. That was all that mattered. "You're gonna love what I gotta show you." Sophie smiled, "I can't wait!"

Both of them walked down the stairs, into the kitchen and ate some breakfast. Sophie had cereal, and Jenny had a pop tart. But, before Jenny could show Soph what she needed to see, Jenny's boss called for her. "Jenny, come quick! Emergency in room 102!!" Jenny sighed, "tsk..god..okay, coming! Sorry Soph..gotta go.." She sighed, "I'll show you right after, kay?" Sophie nodded, "it's fine! I'll be upstairs in our room. Love you, do a good job, yea?" Jenny nodded, and they went their separate ways. 

Sophie went into their room, and watched two movies. She wondered when Jenny would come back, and what was waiting for her when Jenny got back. She looked around the room, and thought about Felix. She thought about her childhood, how confusing it was, and how much better it could have been. Honestly, she didn't know much about her childhood. It was all sort of a blur, but why? Sophie could never remember a lot, she struggled a lot in school because of it. She never understood what was going on, and when she'd ask she'd get laughed at for being so forgetful. Teachers never helped either, they'd scold her and yell at her because she didn't get what they had just learned. It was always on the tip of her tongue, but she always forgot. 

Jenny soon came back into the room, sighing and a little dirty. "I'm so sorry Soph, I hate this stupid job! it was crazy down there, the woman- never mind, I'll clean up and we can go." Sophie nodded, and paused the movie she had been watching. Sophie could tell how excited Jenny was to show her the game. 

Jenny went to the bathroom and washed herself off with a warm, wet rag. She brushed her hair, put some dry shampoo in it, and changed her shirt. She hung her work apron up, and stretched. She walked out of the bathroom after 6 minutes, and they headed down to the basement.


As Jenny turned the cold knob, and walked down the dark steps, Sophie felt like something was off. She didn't wanna tell Jenny to ruin this for her, but at the same time, something didn't feel right. She didn't know what, but deep in her mind she could feel something there that wasn't just Sophie and Jenny. She followed Jenny, and they soon reached their destination. The tall "thing" was covered with a old tarp, it looked cleaned off, probably because Jenny cleaned it a little before hand. Jenny smirked, "Alright, ready?" "Yea." Jenny took the tarp off, and there it was. A tall, shiny game. The words flashed slightly, 'Bunny Farms' in yellow writing. 

"Woah! Gosh, Jen. This is so cool!" 

"Glad ya like it. Here, I'll show you how it works." Jenny stood there, showing examples and explaining how to play to Sophie. Sophie was thrilled, and excited as she watched Jenny play. She kept track in her mind of how Jenny played, and went from there. Sophie played for a while, but Jenny soon had to finish up an essay. "I'll leave 'ya to it. I need to finish up an essay, anyway." 

"Oh, okay..well when will you be back?" Sophie didn't look at Jenny, she was too focused now.

"Dunno, soon probably. Won't take me long, be back!" She walked up the dark, cold stairs. Soon,  Sophie heard the door close behind Jenny. She was alone in the basement with the little game flashing in front of her.


Or was she just "alone"?


---------------------------------TIME SKIP TO WHEN SOPHIE SEES EVERYTHING!-------------------------------

Sophie stood there, speechless. What the fuck had she just seen? Who were those people, why did they look so familiar? How did she know? How did she know her name? So many questions rushed through Sophies head, and she soon found herself on the floor.

She couldn't breathe.


"HELP! JENNY! I NEED YOU!"She screamed. Jenny soon bolted through the door, rushing down the stairs to see her girlfriend on the floor, sobbing and panicking. Jenny was surprised, "Wha- oh god. Soph.? What the hells going on? Are you okay?" She fell to the floor, holding Sophie close. Sophie couldn't say a word. She was star-struck. What had just happened? 

Jenny calmed Sophie down soon, and sat her down in their room. Sophie was wrapped in a blanket, sitting in a chair. She had a cup of tea next to her, and she stared at the wall. Her hands were shaking, she couldn't even drink the tea.

"Okay..um..so Soph? I know you're really worried and panicked right now..but can you tell me what happened? What'd you see?" She held Sophie's trembling hand.

"People popped up..strange people, y'know? And..and then things I had seen from my childhood, Felix, and a boy and a girl. They were red, sobbing and whining. I don't understand. And then there was.." She broke into tears, "A woman. A broken woman asking if she was still beautiful. She knew my name. She knew my fucking name Jenny! Why the hell would you show me that awful game?!" 

Jenny was shocked, and got up, "Try to calm down..take a deep breath." 

She did.

"It's okay, okay? oh god..we'll pull through this together."

"Okay. Thank you Jenny."

"Of course, come here." She hugged Sophie for a while, thinking about what to do. But what was there to do? There had to be something far more than just that video game. 

What was going on?
