A Toy Friend's History (A Poppy Playtime Story)

New Player (1)

Narrator

You was 9 years old at this time with a mother, who worked in a massive toy factory called Poppy Playtime. Her dream was always to become a mother figure for others in need and to support their happiness in anyway possible.

As you got out of the car, while connecting hands with your mum, you glanced up and continued staring at the familiar toy factory beyond the gates. It had such main colours like red, yellow and blue. Some parts seemed to be repainted as some red, blue and yellow parts was more closer to 'bright' than the others.

"C'mon sweetie! I want you to meet a special someone!" your mum dragged you along as you entered the building. You heard a familiar type of music (mostly childish and cartoony) and quickly tightened your grip upon your mother's hand.

You ambled in a long hallway with high, long walls. Your mother opened a red door to appear a lady sitting in a posh, brown and wooden chair with red hair tied into a bun with two front pieces of hair hanging down her face. She wore casual type of clothes, but still quite formal. She almost seemed to be the prettiest woman you've ever came across.

"Hello there little one! You must be.. a very lucky girl to be here in this factory!" she spoke calmly and cheerfully at the same time.

You just giggled as you saw her taking a raspberry favoured lollipop from a tin of multiple flavours and offering it to you.

Your little hands wrapped around the lollipop stick as you tried to unwrap it.

"So.. Evelyn..? Was you talking about creating a new toy?" your mum spoke from next to you.

"Oh yes! I'm starting to make a advertisement for it for the usuals you know.. like.. uh- "This can calm the child's sanity!""

Evelyn, who seemed to be your mums boss, just starting giggling and chatting with your mum.

Reader's POV

I sat next to mummy as I heard her talking about some advert thing about a spider with her boss. I was getting more bored and just chewed on my lollipop as I felt eyes on me.

"Little one.. if you'd like you can explore the factory if you'd like! Some doors will be closed off though so be aware!"

I glared at her in slight confusion before smiling at her and getting up from my seat.

...

I've walked around the factory for quite a long time now while counting 5 locked doors.

Suddenly, I stumbled upon a grey, metallic door with a bar to push it open. As I did, I gasped at what I saw in-front of me!

There was figurines of multiple different toys! Some packed into their cases and some not. I decided to make mummy proud along with her boss by putting all the correct figurines into place.

Continuing the effort, I noticed a peculiar one, who wasn't made of plastic. Her name was Poppy and was steeled into a plastic and cardboard box. She had 'real' toy hair coloured red into two ponytails along with a beautiful and majestic, pale, white face with some glossy, red lipstick. I was being very careful when placing her on the side of the aisle incase she broke because she was made of glass and still a fragile porcelain doll.

I snapped my head as I saw the door open slowly with a creaking sound. Fortunately, it was mummy's boss! Yay!

"Oh! I see- Oh my! Rowan! Look how clever your daughter is! She sorted all of these out!" Mum's boss.. Evelyn I think it was.. called out for mummy to look at my talent.

"What?!" I heard mummy hurry into the room that me and miss Evelyn was in. "Oh my god!
Y/N, you are so talented! I'm so proud!"

After a few minutes of Evelyn and your mother continuing to admire you, Evelyn decided to take you on a trip to see the most popular toy in the whole factory.

You walked into a room that connected to most doors (probably the center of the factory) and had a long, possibly fake figure standing in the middle of the room.

You ran in front of it to read the information. Huggy Wuggy, Experiment 1170. You noticed a red, smooth and round button which said the words 'press me!'. All of a sudden, you heard a type of childish tune with the lyrics:

~ His name is Huggy, Huggy Wuggy. When he hugs you, he'll never stop! Your friend Huggy, Huggy Wuggy. He'll squeeze you until you
pop! ~

Evelyn stopped smiling for a second before clapping her hands and shouting a "woo!" at the end of the song. You just did a childish giggle like always before looking up at the figure in-front of you.

Huggy Wuggy was a very tall, blue and fluffy creature. He had circular eyes with a wide smile with somewhat cute teeth. He had yellow paws for hand and feet and seemed to at least be over 3 meters tall.

His shadow hovered over you, but you didn't really care by how creepy he looked at first since he was the cutest thing you've ever seen.

Evelyn asked, "Did you know Y/N that there is also a female version of Huggy Wuggy? Her name is Kissy Missy and she's mostly pink!"

You smiled, but just shrugged in reply. You found Huggy Wuggy much more interesting and you even thought of a nickname. Huggy Wugs!

Reader's POV

Mummy and miss Evelyn had to carry on work since all the workers would be coming back tomorrow since it'll be Monday.

After they left the room with just me and Huggy Wugs, I sat down as I saw some movement from in-front of me.

"Huggy Wugs?!" you screamed as Huggy Wuggy whispered a 'Shh!' before reappearing in his default position.

Mummy and miss Evelyn rushed back into the room with panicked expressions. Mummy looked like she was about to faint from worry.

"What happened? Did something happen?!" they both asked me in unison.

"Miss Eve- Huggy- uhm.. nothing happened!"
