Once Upon A Time (Human Mr. Hippo X Reader)

Chapter 1: Happy birthday!

On the XX/XX/2036, your family had let you go to your best friend's house for your eighth birthday. The only annoying event of the day had been the 30-minutes long drive you had had to endure to get to her home. As a child should be, you had been impatient and couldn't stop asking your parents if you were already there or not every five minutes. Luckily enough, your mother had remained calm for the whole ride, always replying that she would tell you when you would be on the spot. You had looked at the landscape running away before your eyes, waiting to arrive at Cindy's place.

Once you had finally arrived, you had almost fallen to the ground while trying to get out of the car as fast as you could. The house's front door had opened and you had seen your friend standing on the front porch, looking at you with a happy face.

" - [Y/n]!

- Cindy!"

You had rushed into each other's arms and had hugged. Your parents had looked down at the both of you, smiling softly.

"They look so cute together." Your mother had said.

You had turned to her and had replied with a pouty face:

"She's not my lover!"

The grownups had kindly laughed together at your answer. Your friend had taken your hand and brought you inside her big house.

You still remember the way it looked like. It was a huge white habitation with a composite light pink perron that had a white metallic ramp. The Staton family had a spacious garden filled with many colorful flowers, which Cindy's mom had taken time to plant in order for their colors to be in harmony. That backyard also had two splendid white ceramic water fountains that would delight the eye and hearing. Nevertheless, this was only the mansion's external appearance.

There was a lot of rooms in the house and you remember being amazed by the house's size the first time you had gone at Cindy's place. The first place that would always come to your mind was the kitchen. It was extremely spacious and everything was white besides the greyish blue wooden floor: the walls, the ceiling, the marble countertops and the upper glass cabinet doors. In addition to that great luxury, there was a stainless steel range and a gorgeous rustic French country chandelier. As for the living room, it was as extravagant as the cookery: the walls were cream with golden ornaments around the doors and the large windows, which had beautiful white curtains. The cream and golden carpet matched the walls and the rest of the room with its three couches, two of them were rose gold while the last one was white, that had golden and silver cushions, the two small rose gold tables standing next to each side of the white chesterfield and the golden brown dresser which had been placed in a corner of the room, supporting some vases.

The guest bathroom was quite fancy too. Large white grey marble tile steps led to an elevated white bathtub with oiled brass taps and a black iron chandelier hung above the tub. Beyond thereof, a white mosaic wall with potted plants separated the doors leading to the shower and toilet. On either side of the expansive bathtub, salt and pepper stone countertops were lined up against the wall with undercounter drawers in white rusticated paneling.

There was of course many other rooms such as the bedroom, the guest bedroom, the bathroom, the library, the sleepover room, the craft room, the doll room, which had been especially arranged for Cindy's desires, filled with dollhouses and different kinds of dolls and puppets, the garage, the storage, the playroom, the laundry room and the office. However, either you hadn't been allowed to enter those rooms or you don't remember much details about them.

After talking together, your parents had left while Cindy's had come back into the mansion.

" - Now, who wants to spend the day at Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria?

- Me! Me! Your friend exclaims.

- What is it? You ask.

- It's a huge building in which we can have fun and eat pizzas all day!

- I thought your family would always eat gourmet ingredients.

- Well, on very specific occasions, we allow Cindy to go to Freddy's. Today, we'll do it for your birthday.

- I'm a bit nervous about going somewhere I don't know.

- It's fine, [Y/n]. I'm sure you will enjoy it after a few minutes in it."

You had nodded and entered Cindy's parents' car. That day, you were about to spend the most memorable time of your life.
