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

The Box II (19)

Narrator

As you got home, Troy was already sleeping and you noticed the Poppy Playtime box gone.

You quietly (as possible) went up into the attic and all the stuff in between to check if it was there.

You turned on the light and opened all the boxes, nothing. Well of course things like for Christmas there was stuff, but nothing of Poppy Playtime.

This made you terribly anxious as you doubled checked and looked all over the house for it. Nothing.

You finally decided to check in the bins. Bingo! Well- not really bingo since you went mad.

Why would he do that to you?

You got the box out of the bin and put it in the backseats of your car. After that, you drove towards the Poppy Playtime Factory in somewhat anger.

Somewhat anger basically was referring to the fact you was angry at the same time as confused. You really didn't understand what Troy was so afraid of. He really wasn't like his younger self.

As you drove to the long lost factory in somewhat anger, you parked outside. Yup. The factory was completely abandoned. It gave you a cold and sad feeling as you remembered all the happy memories of the place.

You didn't even care about security as you walked right in from climbing in the hole in the gate like normal.

The eerie feeling to what you once discovered came back as you pushed opened the door- which oddly enough didn't need the key anymore. You thought they would've at least locked everything, but oh well.

You walked in through the Huggy Wuggy area with flooded memories like the Train Station, Sigh Stella, all the toys who's names you could remembered somewhat well - Bruno? Brun- Bron, Candy Cat, Cat Bee, Dancing Bot- No, that's not right at all.. oh! Boogie Bot, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs, Bunzo Bunny, Daisy or sunflower? Uh Daisy and some others. Oh yeah, Poppy.

??? POV

With my little legs, I stumbled inside of my living room- well, it was called that since it was the place that still seemed most alive. You could play games and travel. No. In a literal sense.

Apparently it was called the Train Station, boring if you ask me. The living room seemed a lot better with no capitals.

I walked in on a argument. My friends? I didn't exactly know what friends were. No one taught me. I don't think anybody teaches you the definition of 'friends' it's just a word you grow up with. Unlike me.

I had many friends though.. friends again. I think they're my friends or maybe family, we didn't exactly all get along, but we lived with each other for years, centuries, decades, generations. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating.

"What is happening?" I asked, as I waddled into the room. Another interruption, sorry, but I had to say how my legs weren't exactly normal. It wasn't like.. a person's legs. I had four. Well some people agree to disagree. Apparently my front two 'legs' are actually my arms, but oh well who cares? It didn't matter either way.

"There's news! Important news! Call a meeting!" my friend Poppy said. She seemed quite stressed, but her voice always seemed calm and in that scary voice. That's what people used to say.. scary voice. It wasn't exactly scary.

"Details?" my robotic friend demanded.

Everyone got silenced as a certain figure entered the room. See.. the 'certain figure' was a nice person? Thing? But he had his twists and turns. It happened to everyone here. Like Poppy always says, "Horrible things have happened." That's just enough to sum everything up.

"A-"

The certain figure interrupted Poppy, "A human is here. It's not the police." The certain figure was named.. Huggy Wuggy. Weird name, but his sister was my best and closest friend. He.. well he's complicated, but how he spoke just now was weird. It wasn't like normal.

"Everyone don't panic," Kissy Missy said calmly.

"What do you mean don't panic?!" Bron asked.

"She's my prey," Huggy said as Poppy started to get quite angry.

"She is not your prey! I want to lure her into my own trap!" Poppy replied.

"Guys- shouldn't we all work together?" Daisy asked. Daisy was nice 'toy' too. I still have no idea of how to label us. Toys, people whatever. Daisy had a quite high voice, but she was very soft hearted until- well you know (you probably don't).

Huggy suddenly walked out the room as Poppy groaned in annoyance, "This isn't fair! This is the second time he's done this! We feed of those things! This. Isn't. Fair!"

"All right Poppy we get it," my other friend Candy Cat said. "Want us to rebel or something? Kissy Missy and Huggy both have the shortest hunger resistance."

Poppy just groaned, but it was true. Poppy could take one bite of a human and be full for like months. Her body was small and fragile, but luckily enough she was strategic and clever without the anger issues obviously.

I quickly rushed after Huggy to find him appearing.. or spying around the corner? He's never done this before.

"Huggy?"

"Cat Bee- uh-" Huggy replied. Yes, that's my name. Cat Bee. It's weird I guess, but it makes the most sense. I'll explain later.

"Tell me. What's up?"

"I think I know her," Huggy replied.

What?

"What do you mean?"

"Her.. name is Y/N- she used to come to the factory and- uhm yeah."

"Oh," I said. I didn't know how to reply. Why was she so important? Every kid used to come to the factory, but it's better not to judge. "What's your plan?"

"Uhm. I don't know- I want to keep her here," Huggy replied.

"Let's shut down the factory and you can be the spotlight-"

"No! I- i don't know how to control myself anymore," Huggy continued. "I might loose control! I don't want to hurt her."

"I'll speak for you, don't worry."
