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

Board Game (34)

Narrator

Continuing, Bunzo explained the rules of the current game he was playing before you interrupted him.

Bunzo started to explain, "To start it of.. you have a maximum of 4 players, which kind of looks like the LUDO character pieces along with the main colours red, yellow, green and blue. Secondly, the main rules are.. if you land on Daisy, you can climb up because of her body shape and the leaves, but if you land on PJ then you climb back down-"

You suddenly interrupted, "Ohh! Like Snakes And Ladders!"

Bunzo nodded, "Exactly! The toys have been here for so long we forget that these games are a copy of the original."

"Yeah don't worry."

"Next, if you land on Mommy or Daddy then you go back 5 places, but if you land on me then you move forward 5 places! Get it? And of course to start of the game you use a dice!"

Bunzo passed you the dice for you to start of the game. The dice continued rolling until it landed on a '5'.

"Yay! That's good, right?" you asked.

Bunzo shook his head, "I don't really know. People always suggest getting the biggest numbers are the best. I guess it's because it has more of an advantage of getting closer to the top! Soo.. I guess!"

"Over thinker, huh?" you whispered and moved your piece.

Bunzo rolled after and landed on a '2'. He moved his character and jumped in surprise since he landed on Daisy.

"See?! Not all small numbers are bad!"

"Wow! I'm definitely not going to win!"

"Chances Y/N!"

You rolled again and landed on a '4' this time. You moved up the board until you realised you landed on a Bunzo.

"Yay!" you moved your character 5 more places and got ahead of Bunzo.

"No! Boo-hoo! Unlucky me! Oh well! My turn!" Bunzo sighed.

He rolled the dice after you and landed on a '2'.

Continuing, you rolled again and the dice landed on a '1'. Bad luck. You landed on Daddy Long Legs and moved your character back and was now behind Bunzo.

"Yes! Sore loser!" Bunzo yelled in happiness.

"You're so mean!" you said in a joking tone before continuing back to the game.

Reader's POV

Me and Bunzo was now in the middle of the board with me in-front. I landed on Daisy a few minutes ago, which was a massive boost for me, while Bunzo was a line under me.

"This is so frustrating!" Bunzo hissed and rolled the dice. He landed on a '6' and suddenly landed on.. himself.

He did a little 'hooray' before passing me the dice. Bunzo was still 3 squares behind me luckily.

I rolled the dice and it landed on a '3' when suddenly I noticed I landed on Mommy Long Legs. Uh oh.

I moved my character back, which wasn't behind Bunzo yet luckily. There was only 2 more rows before getting to the top of the board game and winning.

Bunzo rolled the dice and landed on a '6'. He jumped around and moved his character in-front of mine and suddenly landed on Daisy again.

I sighed and watched him move his character up a row ahead. He passed me the dice, while giving me the 'evil-happy' smile.

My dice landed on a '1' and I moved my character neutrally, while I heard Bunzo praise himself quietly. Bitch Bunny.

Bunzo rolled his dice and landed on a '6', while I sighed in defeat. He moved his character and suddenly landed on Daddy Long Legs. Hah!

"Awwh!" he whined and moved his character back, sadly.

"I feel so bad for you," I said, sarcastically.

"Shut up! I'm still in-front of you for your information!"

Narrator

You giggled and continued. You rolled your dice and landed on a '4' and landed of the same ladder or.. Daisy that Bunzo landed on and climbed up on.

You watched Bunzo make fake crying noises, which was actually hilarious, before he rolled his dice once again.

He landed on a '3' and landed on himself again, but wasn't in-front of you.

He sighed, while you rolled your dice and landed on a '5'. You moved your pieces and saw Bunzo fake crying again before realised you finished the game and won.

"Yay! Loser!" you jumped around the room and made the 'L' shape with one hand.

...

You finished playing 'Daisies and Pugs', which basically was a whole copy of the idea of the game 'Snakes And Ladders', but in a Poppy Playtime twist idea.. sort of?

You said goodnight to Bunzo and walked up to place, where you slept mostly and noticed two toys chatting like usual.

You eavesdropped like normal to notice it was once again Mommy and Poppy making a fuss.

"By the way.. are we telling her tomorrow?" Poppy asked Mommy in the hallway.

"Hmm.. fine! But Poppy.. why are you so desperate to tell her? She might change the way she thinks about us."

"Isn't that a good thing?! It's not like we want her to trust us or love us! She needs to know the truth about this place not being a safe place."

Mommy sighed, "Alright.. you win. My advice.. you can make new friends."

"What does that mean?!"

"I know you hate lying Poppyseed.. I just thought-"

"It's not lying if it's not telling! What are you trying to say?!"

Poppy started raising her voice even move along with Mommy Long Legs whispering 'shh'.

"Maybe.. or possible.. you like her? Or possibly want-"

"Ugh! I don't like her! I hate humans! I only saved her because she might be useful to us.. and- I don't know!"

Mommy sighed, "You can always say that you love everyone here! We know deep down.. you have a strong heart!"

"Goodnight!" Poppy yelled, while Mommy sighed once again and swung down the hall with you hiding.
