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

Truth Or Truth (35)

Narrator

The next day, you remembered it was your time to go to work again tomorrow . You was slightly excited. You missed the arcade and especially because of Arcadian.

You was chilling and playing mini games with Bunzo in his part of the factory. Sadly, you didn't go to the Musical Memory as much as a child since it tired you out, but now you finally could. Also since Stella split you into groups and you didn't get to choose what game you was going to play.

Bunzo was testing you without the actually game being played. The lights were off and the Playtime Board thing, which was the guide, was turned off.

"Red!" Bunzo yelled.

You quickly press the red button with the GrabPack. The game was mainly about reaction time and how fast you could react to something. Possibly like a reflex?

"Red, blue!"

It carried on like a never ending cycle. Bunzo would start with a colour and carry on until you remembered the 4 colours exactly and pressed the buttons in the correct order before switching onto the next round, which did the exact same thing.

"Red, blue, yellow!" then it carried on, "Red, blue, yellow, purple!"

"This is tiring!" you complained.

"Alright fine.. we can take a brea-" Bunzo was about to finish off on his reply until the speakers spoke.

"Hello every toy and human in this factory. This is not an emergency, but Mommy and Poppy would like for Y/N to meet them in the Red Office area. Please no eavesdropping or else. Thank you!"

"Shit," you said as you made eye contact with Bunzo.

"Uh.. don't know what that's about, but good luck!" Bunzo said as you walked out of the Musicial Memory game area.

...

You walked down the hallway and carried on walking until you finally reached the Red Room.

You had to take some breaths before going in since you had a pretty 'overrated' feeling in your head about what Mommy Long Legs and Poppy wanted to talk about.

You was going to knock until you heard a feminine voice, "Don't be shy.. come in!" Poppy's voice.

You opened the door to see Mommy waited in Evelyn's and your mum's old office chair along with Poppy waiting on the desk since she was only smallish.

"What's this about..?" you asked.

"I would say, but you probably know.. don't you?" Poppy asked.

You sighed and looked down.

Reader's POV

I had no idea what to say. I felt like I was cluelessly pasting around the room, without even moving my legs.

I couldn't bring myself to look up and both of them, but I felt Mommy glaring daggers at me.. Poppy- well you can't really tell what Poppy's thinking.

"Listen.. we know you went into the unknown and- unexplored area let's say. Did you have permission?" Mommy asked quite rhetorically.

"No.. but I wanted to know why it was there. Even Bron and Daisy was there!-"

"What about Troy?! We only found that area because I was panicking, while trying to get you to safety! I even told you that we covered it up with wooden- board things!"

"Planks?" I asked.

"Yes, but don't go switching subjects! Why did you bring Troy?!" Poppy yelled.

"What's the big deal?! I was scared to go and explore alone! It's not like you told me not to!"

Poppy went silent until continuing, "Ooo! You're right.. and what about Bron and Daisy being there!?"

"Excuse me? You think I brought them with me too?!"

"Did you not?" Mommy asked along with her face expression changing.

"No! Me and Troy was in one of the rooms and then we noticed Bron and Daisy coming down the hallway!" I explained.

"Oh," Mommy replied.

"Are you upset because you thought Bron and Daisy would've found out?"

Mommy and Poppy quickly looked up at me with mixed expressions of anger, mad-sad, worried, shock, surprised etc.

"What?" I asked.

"What do you know?" Poppy retorted.

"Uh- maybe the fact Bron and Daisy are questioning about if they got experimented on in the factory or not? They did tell me that everyone just woke up in the factory after all," I replied.

"Why-"

Mommy quickly interrupted Poppy, "Poppyseed, let it go. Mommy will take care of it from here. Don't you worry about a thing."

Poppy quietly left and I continued staring at Mommy.

"Listen.. I'm not going to say anything else besides the point that whenever or if you ever find a new part of the factory unexplored or unknown to you then that means you don't bring round your boyfriend nor get involved with it. Ask me first. Secondly, remember your place. You're here only because we don't want you to run your mouth all over the world. Be grateful we are giving you more privileges!"

I stood there awkwardly, "Yes, but-"

"That's all! Goodbye!" Mommy said before slamming the office doors in your face.

Narrator

You sat in one of the rooms, where the staff would go to get extra hands for the GrabPacks.

You sighed in relief to finally have your peace and silence. You sat down and gathered your thoughts. You had so many questions for Mommy and Poppy- or basically every toy there.

Why was it such a big deal you was exploring the unknown area if Poppy didn't say you couldn't go there?

You felt like something was missing or a secret was being hidden from you. It felt weird since you was the (former) owner's daughter.

Even if the toys have probably seen more and know way more than you.. why was it such a sensitive topic for them? Besides the experimental stuff.. you didn't understand anything. You couldn't quite get your head round it.
