I'll Meet You There

Colby's POV:

Day 3

The next morning, we made our way to a sanctuary to play with hedgehogs. Poppy started petting one with a strangely soft expression. Normally she looks annoyed or wary, but I've noticed whenever she's around animals, not so much big dogs, but excluding that, her entire being relaxes, and it was something I really enjoyed seeing.

Our next location was Robot City. Jay and Brennen gravitated towards the tall statues of girls with rubber boobs. Poppy rolled her eyes and muttered, "This is what I deal with on a daily basis."

The place we walked through looked like the Rainforest Cafe which was cool. Poppy kept blinking, and I figured her eyes were probably adjusting to the light.

Poppy repeated what Elton had told her; that we'd be seeing a robot show. None of us were sure what to expect. I had a feeling this would be both strange and cool, so I was excited.

Poppy frowned as she stared at the program. "I have no idea what to expect and to be honest, I'm a little scared."

"If you get scared, you can always take my hand," I offered, holding out my hand.

She stared down at it, then at me and shook her head.

Brennen chuckled. "Rejected, bro."

I shot him a look. "Shut up, dude."

The show started and drummers came out, as well as people wearing masks. Poppy seemed slightly nervous and confused. We guys were yelling out various things while she stayed quiet. A robot who had a controller walked out to the stage.

A dance battle began, and I started dancing and made Poppy dance. She pushed me away and wrapped her arms around herself. There were various vendors walking around asking if we wanted something.

Race came up, and Jay made a comment how he was the only black guy.

Poppy said, "Well I'm glad you're around. You're a fun guy it seems."

Jay smiled. "I like to think so."

The show stopped for an intermission and chains were placed in front of the front seats to protect the audience. One of us joked about how kinky the next act would be and Brennen made a sexual joke, causing Poppy to blush and she hid her face in her hands, and then he apologized for ruining Elton's "clean" channel.

Poppy rolled her eyes and muttered, "I'm surrounded by idiots."

We turned back to the stage and saw a ninja turtle kill another character. I started screaming in confusion, Poppy rolled her eyes, and Brennen and Jay were laughing. I wasn't sure what Elton was doing. A dinosaur appeared and Poppy gasped before whispering in a loud tone, "Jurassic Park. Dude, yes."

A girl died in the dinosaur's mouth and Poppy then said, "Sucks for that girl. Dinosaurs are dangerous, but cool."

Jurassic Park music began playing, and Poppy smiled lightly. "Okay, did I call that, or did I call that?"

I smiled at her as I said, "You called it, Poppy."

Brennen wiped his hands and it quickly became sexual, which wasn't surprising.

The robots finally appeared and the Jabberwocky began, soon followed by the YMCA. Jay and Elton were doing the motions to the song.

When it finished, Brennen, Poppy and I took over TFIL for a little while. Brennen asked us how it was. I said it would have been better with LSD and earned a look from Poppy before she said, "Don't do drugs, kids. Don't sell them either. And don't listen to these guys if they suggest it."
