Hello Puppets AU: The show goes on

Just some misunderstanding

The next day, Nick came out of his case and got ready. When Nick Nack got to his vanity, he stared at the mirror. He felt a little less confident this time. He knew it had something to do with his thoughts of Amra not talking to him. 

It turns out, his insecurity got to him. This wasn't the first time he felt insecure about his looks. there were a few times that he was feeling quite bad about it. Somedays he would brush it off but this time, the feeling was worst than usual. He really didn't want to be seen by anyone, especially one of his assistant's Daughters, Amra.

Once he was done getting ready, he out out of his room and tries to act like his usual confident self. "Ahh there you are Nick, My artistic friend!" Mortimer greeted him and made Nick jumped a little which isn't noticeable. he then turned around to greet him back with a forced smile. Mortimer thought something was a little off with the artist but brushed it off for now. "Uh.. I'm going to set up the things in my studio first, I got to go" he quickly ran to his set up leaving the old puppet alone.

A few moments later, both Daisy, Riley and Rosco came out of their rooms and both saw Mortimer and they both went up to him. "Hey there Mortimer!" Daisy greeted him from the distance as she, Riley and Rosco walked closer towards him. They both wondered where Nick went "Uhh... Where's Nick? Usually that paint splattered imbecile should be up right about now or before that." Riley asked Mortimer as she pointed out that Nick should be here already and disappointing the puppet next to her.

"He's in his studio right now." he confirmed "But I feel like there's something quite off about him today." the old puppet told the two puppets. Daisy frowned at those words that Mortimer had said. She never liked the feeling of her friend being down. "What happened, Morty?" the southern belle questioned Mortimer in a worried tone. Mortimer sighed and told the both that he doesn't know why Nick was acting like this. "Hopefully he's ok in there" Daisy said 

While the others were outside waiting for the rest of the staff to come in the filming floor, Nick Nack was inside of his set up isolating and distancing himself from the others. The artist was sitting on a stool in his set up as more thoughts about his appearance came up in his mind. The puppet just want to let it out even though isn't really the one to do talk to other people about this. Later on he got out of his studio, try to hide his feelings and waited for the other employees to come in.

Once he got out of the set up Daisy turned around and saw Nick walking towards them. "There you are Nick!" Daisy exclaimed which caught everyone's attention "Why were you later than usual?" Daisy questioned Nick as the artist stuttered out his answer. "W-well, I was up Already. But I-I decided to... set up my studio a little bit." 

From the stuttering that Nick was showing, Daisy knew something was wrong. She was thinking about have a quick talk about it and maybe fix the problem. 'Something's really wrong with him, I wonder what he's thinking about or what even happened.' Daisy thought to herself. The blond puppet then told Nick to follow her. She had lead him to her room and told the other puppet to sit down.

"Nick, I know you're not t he type to talk about these things, but you know I always know something's wrong. so please, tell me. What's wrong? I want to help you out." Daisy pleaded for an answer from the artist. "Well, it had something to do after the talk yesterday. So I was staring at the mirror and somehow the thoughts of Amra not talking to me came up. I then started thinking that Amra wouldn't talk to me because she doesn't want to tell me that she's scared of me..." Nick confessed to Daisy.

"Scared of you? Why would she be-" Daisy was going to question Nick but then realizes about what he meant by that. "Oh Nick, poor boy" Daisy comforted him by patting him on the back and assures him that Amra wouldn't be scared of him. Nick Nack felt a bit better when Daisy assured him but he wasn't quite sure for Amra.

Once they got out of the room, some of the employees were already there. But his assistant and their daughters weren't here yet. He got to his set up and waited for them to come.

When Amra and Adri got to the HQ she saw both Bailey and Cameron in the lobby, She asked them what they were doing here signing to them but they didn't understand. She then attempted to ask them by writing her question down on a notepad for them.

"Oh I'm just waiting for the kids to arrive. I'm in charge of taking care of the kids" Cameron answered while Bailey said that she was going to do some favors for Daisy.

Joseph then told Amra and Adri that he was going to the second floor first to meet up with Nick. They were both ok with this and Joseph left them with Cameron and Bailey.

"Wait, so Your dad is Nick's Assistant?" He realizes but his best friend smacked him lightly on the back "Of course they are! It's completely obvious. They even have the same fucking last names my dude!" Bailey made a point as Cameron called her out on cussing.

"Hey, the kids aren't there yet and it's ok, right?" She chuckled as if she was going to get punished for as the others looked around and see if there's kids around yet. "Yep, you're fine" Adri confirmed that there where no kids in the lobby yet.

Welp, I gotta go now. I have to do Daisy's little help first, see ya!" She then left them behind and now it's just three of them in the lobby. "I just wanna say that's cool that your dad is one of the puppet's assistants" he mentions "Our Aunt is Riley's Assistant too" "Wait For Real!" Cameron was in disbelief when she said that meanwhile Amra then nodded her head just to confirm.

"That's cool! So that means you get to hang out with them! Right? " he asked the sisters "Yep, we do chat a lot with them, and it was great" Adri said

For a few more minutes, the kids were coming in and once they were all here, the three began to lead the children to the filming floor.
