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

Lights Off (27)

Narrator

The few days you stayed at Poppy Playtime Co. Everything was mainly the same along with the toys acting like normal.

You was sitting in the Toy-Making Room while watching Huggy and Kissy bond over making a toy.

"No! Huggy you pull the second lever!" Kissy stated.

"No! I don't like that lever! Plus you have two to pull!"

"We can pull the last one at the same time!"

You giggled quietly until you noticed Mommy Long Legs appear. "Are the children having fun?"

"U..uh! Yeah- uhm," you said. You didn't expect her to come.

"Don't be nervous.. I'm Mommy and Mommy loves to watch the children play!" she said in a unsettling way.

"Uhm okay..?" you replied.

Mommy kept giggling until everyone in the room turned around to notice Poppy rushing inside of the room.

"Everyone! Come quickly! There's someone walking into the factory!" Poppy announced.

"Is it Troy?" Huggy asked with some mysterious tone.

"No! It's a o-.. old lady! I think!" Poppy replied in panicked.

"Oh no.." Mommy said. "Do not worry children! Mommy's here!"

"Old lady? Old..- my nan?! Possibly?!" you shouted at the possible fact of the factory toys being able to hurt her.

Everyone went silent as they turned towards you.

Reader's POV

I quickly ignored their stares and ran outside of room towards the exit, where Cat Bee, Bunzo and PJ were standing while the rest was walking inside of the room.

I quickly opened the door with a few gasps from the toys to notice Nanny Delaney, as expected. The toys obviously hid away as Nanny Delaney came through the door.

"Nan? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Y/N! What are you doing here still?! You've been here for long enough!" nan yelled in reply.

"Nan- I- Well-.. you know?.." I stuttered and covered my mouth awkwardly.

"My beautiful child, I know about this factory just as much as you. I know about how the toys are real and stuff, but please let this factory go!" she cried.

"No! Well!- I have friends here? Nan- it's complicated!"

"No-"

I interrupted, "It's complicated! So just- stop!"

Nanny Delaney went quiet, which made me want to cry even more. I really wanted her to stay with me. I didn't want to yell at her at all.

"Fine. I'll go! But just know.. you should really start talking to Troy. Take my advice," Nanny Delaney replied, as she walked out.

I lied on the floor and looked up? Anyway, to notice paws and toy feet walking into the room. I got up and turned around to see all the toys staring without saying anything.

"Uh.. that was your nan?" Boogie-Bot asked.

"Yeah.." I replied while sighing.

Boogie-Bot shrugged and turned away with Candy Cat, Bunzo, PJ and the others besides Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Poppy and Mommy Long Legs.

"Oh.. it seems your nan wants you to.. leave?" Mommy said.

"I think we should allow her to-" Kissy started speaking.

"What?! No!" Poppy yelled.

"Listen, she went out before and didn't tell anyone!" Kissy replied.

"That was once!"

"Maybe more like twice?" Huggy said.

"See?!" Kissy replied, while Poppy's face twisted with disgust. I noticed Mommy Long Legs watching the scene with a neutral expression.

"Maybe.. you could trust me more, Poppy?" I asked.

"Uh- No! You only have been here for one week or more!"

"I can't stay isolated forever," I replied.

"Yes you can!" Poppy yelled.

"Poppy.. I believe we should trust her. Just for now at least.. plus what's there to tell? 'Hey everyone I explored a abandoned factory with talking toys and apparently they get needles stuck in them when they're bad!'" Mommy mocked.

"Ugh!" Poppy whined and left the room in anger.

"Guess that's sorted.." Kissy said.

"What if I'm her body guard?" Huggy asked.

Mommy giggled, "My Huggy Wuggy.. you know Mommy loves you so much! But you can't be her body guard if she's on the other side."

"At night?" Kissy asked.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Well.. I was thinking- maybe because we'd definitely get caught in the day.. Y/N can go out at night when no one can see all of us that easily. Plus this area is kinda abandoned.. no one comes here anymore," Kissy stated.

After debating, the toys allowed you to see Troy and go out, but only at night. Daytime was only on rare occasions with no body guard, but it didn't matter since you was getting tired of staying in the same place for a long time.

You was walking towards your house and knocked on the door. It took about 5 minutes before Troy answered the door. He was wearing his striped pyjamas with an eye mask resting on his head and his phone is his right hand.

"Wha- Y/N?!" he gasped. "How?"

Huggy was standing behind your house. You hoped he didn't try anything too sneaky since he wouldn't be able to hear your conversations from the outside.

Suddenly, Troy quickly pulled you into a hug before apologising.

"It's okay!" you replied and stepped inside with him.

"Soo.. did you escape?" Troy asked, while turning on the light and sitting down with you in the living room.

"No- there's been a few changes," you said.

"Like what?" Troy asked.

"Well.. I'll only be able to speak to you at nighttime since.. uh well it works better for the toys."

"Uh.. sure? It is because they can like.. I'm not going to ask-" Troy replied.

"Alright anyway! I need to apologise to you.. I'm sorry," you said.

"For what? I was the one who threw away your childhood box," Troy stated.

"Yeah.. but I left. I should've just yelled and divorced you."

Troy and you started giggling on the sofa, while cuddling up to each other.

"How long can you stay?"

"Maybe for a hour," you replied.

"Alright well.. I'll get us some drinks. This is going to be fun!" Troy said.

"Yeah plus I should probs charge my phone."
