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

Working Progress (7)

Reader's POV

Weeks past and mummy finally took over the factory. On Saturday, me and Troy got to visit the factory and see the upcoming toys earlier.

We was sitting in the office and mum brought out a cassette tape. Troy and me was so excited to find out what the new toy would be.

The cassette tape started to play:

"Look it's Mommy Long Legs! The coolest toy around! You can stretch her legs or hang her upside down! Try to twist and bend her in every kind of way! Now it's time to have some fun! Mommy Long Legs wants to play!"

The rest of the commercial started to say things that "the new Mommy Long Legs at Playtime Co!" or "elastic, plastic!" etc.

Me and Troy just stared in amazement.

"She's so cool!" Troy stated.

"Can we get her early?!" I asked.

Mummy started to reply, "Calm down, but yes you can get it early. There's only about 10 made right now although I would love to give it to you two early!"

"Yay!" me and Troy said in unison.

"There's also another thing I wanted to show you two.. it's not a toy, but- it is going to be like a main object- you'll see what I mean," mummy explained.

She put in another cassette tape after taking out the other one for Mommy Long Legs. I noticed the draw full of other cassette tapes with labels on them, but it was really none of my business!

The next cassette tape wasn't so much a commercial, as it was an instructional guide.
It showed an object named a "GrabPack".

The cassette tape showed how the GrabPack was used for either blue or red hands, which would be on top of the door frames to access the room. All you had to do was press a button to expand the hand to either the blue/red hand access things or to grab far away objects. For obvious reasons, it should never to used on a human's face or.. it'll get ripped off because of how strong the grab was.

"That's genius!" Troy said. "Can you use it on an animal?"

"Absolutely not!" mum replied.

"Oh."

I couldn't help, but giggle at their conversation. It was too hilarious for me.

Narrator

The day carried on with other children entering the factory at 12:30pm. Most of the children was seen in the Playtime Cafeteria before going on the trip with Stella and that annoying Huggy Wuggy cosplayer at 1:15pm.

You and Troy was standing up by the bins observing the children for no actual reason.

"What happened to Huggy? I literally always ask that to myself," Troy asked.

"I know right.. whenever I ask mum she goes all awkward and quiet on me like I just want my favourite toy back!"

Troy chuckled, "I know! My parents won't tell me either. I mean the Huggy toys are still out, but where's Huggy?"

"You can't have the Huggy toys without the original!"

Troy and you kept laughing until you both decided to ask your mum. You walked into the office yet again to find the other employees there.

"Yeah because I don't think Poppy- oh hello- What's your kids names?" one of the males asked.

"Troy isn't my child, but it feels like it! And that's Y/N," mum stated.

"Awh! Hi Y/N and Troy!" the male was another employee, who worked for the innovation party named Alan. He had a strawberry blonde hair colour with bright verde eyes.

"Hello Alan!" Troy and you replied.

"Troy, Y/N why are you here?" your mother asked.

"Uhm- well- we want to know where's Huggy Wugs and we aren't talking about the toys- the actual one!"

Troy joined in the conversation, "Yeah! No one is telling us the truth and we miss Huggy!"

"Honey.." mum said with a saddened tone. Everyone else in the room just look down or at each other awkwardly. "We've decided to banned the Huggy Wuggy Display Character."

"What?!"

...

1 hour later, your mum tried to explain why she banned Huggy from the display case. She tried to make up excuses like - the "doll" was getting old and they're making a new one or Huggy is tired from standing all the time.

You and Troy both gave up. You two knew Huggy was real just like your mother and the rest did, but no one would actually have the confidence in bringing it up to topic besides you and Troy.

Your mum kept saying "wait until you're older" or making up childish excuses that wouldn't make you or Troy believe in.

Eventually, you and Troy just decided to go along with it even if you wanted to know the truth.

Reader's POV

Me and Troy just getting quite bored from the factory and finally decided to go along with Sigh Stella (me and Troy made up that nickname since she always makes us sigh) and that Huggy Wuggy cosplayer.

The other kids were honestly so happy and I cant understand why. It happens almost everyday for them and they are always continuously excited.

Me and Troy groaned the whole way to the Train Station.

I didn't even know that much about the mini games at the Train Station. I mean I know it had at least 3 games of different kinds and that they all give different clues to unlock the Train code, which then makes the Train move along to the Daycare or something.
