The Daycare is open! The Owl helps guide some of the kids while Sun and Moon get the rest! Kids immediately start to draw, play on the play structures and... I don't really know to be honest. My childhood was spent wondering what my sexuality was so I never knew that much about what normal kids do. 


Both Sun and Moon watch the kids closely, making sure none of them get hurt in any way. They were also nervous, why? Normally it would be just them, but Eclipse was also here... y'know... the animatronic that holds the corrupted code, the code that caused Moon to be murderous(persumably)? You know him! Sun and Moon were wondering if he'd come down from the castle porch, the both of them hoped that they wouldn't... But they knew he was watching them and the kids. 


"Hey Timothy... Strange to see you here ain't it?" Moon turned his head to see a older kid (13) looking down on a younger kid (10). "W-What are you even doing here? You're too old for the Daycare!" The 10 year old said. "Oh I know I am, but my mom forced me to stay here so I could watch my younger sister. I thought I'd be bored out of my mind... But here you are... The older kid cracked his knuckles and got closer to the younger kid. "Hey kid! No bullying the younger kids!!!... Honestly no bullying in genera-" Moon is interrupted by the older kid. "Oh shut up Moon Man! It's not like you can do shit about it anyways. You can't hurt a child." Sadly the kid was right, Moon could be decommissioned for hurting a kid... The older kid threw a punch at the younger one... 


Only for it to be caught? 


"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Hurting someone younger than you isn't very fair is it?" Eclipse stood there, he had easily caught the kids punch and successfully protected the kid. Moon looked with wide eyes, what would happen? "Oh? Another overgrown Sun man? What a joke." The older kid brought his hand back and went in for another punch, this time targeting Eclipse. Surprisingly, he failed that too, Eclipse easily blocked him again. "Ughh, why is this one so annoyi-" The kid is shushed by Eclipse. "Picking on those who can't defend themselves isn't very fair. I know, usually things are never fair on the battlefield. But this is a Daycare, if you are going to fight someone, fight with someone your size." Eclipse then pushes the older kid away from the younger one. "Well then again, you probably wouldn't win fighting someone your own size. Your punch was weak, it could harm a child but never someone your age." The older kid's face turns red with anger and a little bit of embarrassment. "Now go along now, go find someone your own size." Eclipse gets the kid to leave. 


Moon just stood there, a little bit surprised by how Eclipse reacted. Maybe Mr. Bright got rid of the corruption? Maybe Eclipse is just a normal animatronic like him and Sun?... Eer... Maybe not 'normal', but maybe they aren't murderous? 


Eclipse turns to the younger kid and kneels down infront of him, he then says to the kid.. "Seriously? Why didn't you defend yourself? Or at the very least, run away." Eclipse asked the young kid. "There'd be no point... Even if I got away today, I wouldn't get away next time.." Eclipse's eyes widened a bit before asking; "You're constantly bullied by him?", the young kid nods. "Well, that just won't do." Eclipse stands up and holds a hand out for the kid. 


"Why don't I teach you how to deal with people like him?". The kid takes his hand and stands up. 


Okay this kind of seemed like something Moon should worry about. Yes, maybe he is overreacting, but he could never be too careful at this point. Eclipse, holding the child's hand, walks to the backdoor that leads to Sun and Moon's room. Moon follows close behind the two. "By the way, what's your name?" Eclipse asks the young boy. "Timothy... Timothy Anderson... But everybody calls me Tim." Eclipse nods. "Timothy Anderson... I'll remember that." The both of them (and Moon) make their way to the backdoor. Eclipse opens it and a wide but narrow area with red saturated walls. If you were there, you would also see two staircases leading to where the Castle Porch is leveled to. 


"Alright kid, now that we're here, can you sit down on the staircase over there?" Eclipse points to the 2nd staircase near them and Timothy nods. Tim goes over and sits on one of the steps. Eclipse then goes up the stairs, seemingly looking for something on the other floor. Moon prepared himself, if Eclipse tried anything then he'd run in there and take the kid as far away as possible. When Eclipse came back, he had... 


A Medical Kit. 


Eclipse kneels down to Tim's level. "I'm guessing you get beat up often by that older kid, right?" Timothy nods. "And when you'd come back home, you often have bruises and such?" Timothy nods again. "Then the first thing we will learn is how to heal yourself." Eclipse brings up the medkit. "Oh?... I thought I'd learn how to beat Jake!.. The older kid..." Timothy looks down at his own hands. "And I will teach you how to fight, but your health is important too kid! You can't learn how to fight while your nose is bleeding or if your leg is broken." Eclipse opens the medkit and takes out a bandage roll. "So first, we learn how to heal. Then the fighting will happen. Okay?" Tim looks at the bandage roll, then at Eclipse. He nods. 


Teach him how to heal and fight? Moon would understand why Eclipse knows how to fight, but heal aswell? Also-why is he teaching the kid? Was it pity? Was it spite?... Or maybe him and Sun were thinking of Eclipse all wrong? Maybe Mr. Bright fixed the corrupted code?... Maybe Eclipse was just like him and Sun... That still doesn't justify why Eclipse is teaching him though. Is he gonna make Jake and the kid fight???, Would Eclipse let that happen? He wasn't sure. He certainly wasn't just gonna leave the kid with Eclipse. He was gonna stay there and make sure nothing strange happens... 


But Moon forgets all the damn time that weird shit happens all the damn time. I mean come on! Him, Sun, Eclipse, Monty, Freddy, Roxy, Chica and probably even the long gone Bonnie are all sentient A.I!!! With animatronics like them, nothing is gonna be "normal".
