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

Tic-Tac-Toe (29)

Narrator

At 7:00pm next day after gossiping, you once again heard that a meeting was being held, but not inside of the Train Station. It was going to be held inside of the main area, where Huggy used to stand.

You was walking with Boogie-Bot and PJ since they stayed closest to you after hearing the gossip.

You didn't hear anything from Daddy Long Legs after he heard the gossip, but you hoped that Mommy didn't know that you was eavesdropping yesterday.

You walked into the room through the door, where the red and blue hand was needed on the other side.

You saw the rest of the toys sitting down with Poppy at the front of the audience with Mommy Long Legs. It wasn't like there was a hierarchy between the toys.. it was just that Mommy mainly controlled the toys. Most of the time, she was useful for when the toys got 'out of control' or 'disastrous'  or even when they needed an excuse for something.

You joined the toys as Poppy started speaking after she noticed you, "Uh- so everyone! I've called the because of- uhm- well Y/N. Don't worry! It's not exactly a bad thing, but we are letting Y/N go."

The toys gasped, while Kissy started clapping happily. You noticed Bron rolling his eyes from behind her as you tried your best not to laugh.

"It's not- well it's sort of temporary until we fully gain Y/N's trust. As usual, Y/N would be dead without Huggy so we need to keep ourselves 'in control', but also.. Huggy will remain as her body guard! Of course, the Nighttime Rule will stay the same!" Poppy continued. "Now Y/N.. we've got a gift for you."

You gulped when Mommy Long Legs started to continue the speech with a watch in her hands, "Y/N, this is very important. We can't keep you here because we know you work thanks to Huggy. Although, we are giving you our trust and expect you to be very careful with it. This watch will be your gift until we find you a proper one! Also.. you will say you've had a family emergency for your excuse."

You had no words besides a nod until you thought of a question, "Am I only allowed out because I go to work?"

"Yes and you'll obviously still be able to go out at night to see Troy or whoever you want to see."

Reader's POV

Finally, I was able to leave! I was still wearing the watch that Mommy gave to me still knowing that it had a tracker inside of it.

I was getting ready for work since at lunchtime I had to go to work. I brought round some of my clothes after going to Troy's a few days ago.

I didn't know if the factory toys knew how on Saturday night shifts, which is every 2 weeks, that I would stay until 12pm or not, but my thoughts told me 'yes'. I didn't even need to question it since the toys weren't stupid.

I was walking towards the exit when a voice stopped me.

"Have fun!" it was Mommy Long Legs.

I turned around and nodded before walking out without a single care in the world. I spotted my car already outside the factory gates. That's when I picked up my speed and opened the gates quickly before jumping into my car's front seat, where the stirring wheel was.

...

I parked outside of the Monotony Arcade to notice more people entering the arcade with Arcadian outside the front.

I got out my car and slammed the door shut before jogging towards the entrance and stroking Arcadian. All I got in reply was a "Meow!", but that was good enough.

I took deep breathes before entering. I said hi to my other co-workers when I suddenly saw Yolanda striding up to me with faster pace.

She didn't say anything, but grabbed me into the Arcade's janitor closet and turned on the light before facing me with the most angriest impression. Her hands were directly on her hips with her eyebrows being slightly raised.

"Uh..? Hello then-" I started before being interrupted by yells.

"Hello?! Hello?! Y/N! You haven't been here for 3 days straight! Did you only come in because we don't open for long hours on Sundays?!" she whispered in fury.

"What?! No! Yolanda you know me better than that! I- I've been dealing with a lot right now! Like.. oh I don't know.. family problems?!" I tried to make my acting sound as dramatic as possible, but not so over the top.

I think she believed it as she just sighed, "Look I'm sorry, okay? It's not your fault- but just talk to me next time?! I'm always going to be here for you just as much as Tasha! Now get out there silly!"

She pushed me outside the janitor's closet and I got startled by someone jumping into my arms.

"Oh my god! I missed you so much!" Tasha yelled as she hugged me tightly.

"Awwh! Me too Tash! How are you?" I asked.

"I'm great! Did you get told off by the all mighty Yolanda?!" she questioned while we walked around the arcade and looking out for anyone who needed help.

"Yup! You know it.." I gritted my teeth.

"Sucks to suck!" she said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me towards a child, whose toy got stuck on the edge of the exit of the claw machine, where the toy would normally dropped.

Tasha threw me the keys as I unlocked it while she smiled at the child. I unlocked the area and grabbed the plushie and passed it towards the child, whose smile grew while jumping around after I passed it to him.
