The Oddities Orphanage

Chapter 8 - The Dance Shoes

Foxy entered the playroom, his eyes catching Ballora right before he walked into the kitchen. He smiled, she seemed to be holding some sort of box.

"Hey Ballora!" He called out, Ballora getting scared in the process and saw her putting away something in the box and ran away to her room.

Foxy stood there in disbelief.

"That was weird.." He said out loud, getting a stare from Roast Beef, "What?" He asked him.

"You're weird..." He answered him back.

"Look who's talking.." Foxy called out to him before walking into the kitchen, being met with the sight of Freddy sitting, eating chicken by himself again.

He went over to talk to him, even though he eats like a pig.

"Hey, Freddy I was wondering.." Foxy Said walking up to him, who at the moment was scoffing chicken down his throat.

"What-" Freddy choked on the said chicken, Foxy rolled his eyes as Freddt punched his stomach, bits of chicken flying out his mouth and the rest going down.

"What Foxy? I'm kinda in the middle of something." Freddy said with some annoyance in his voice, he wasn't in the mood to be dealing with whatever thing Foxy's got going on.

"Do you know what's wrong with Ballora? She just ran from me when I said hi to her..." Foxy asked him.

"Doesn't she always do that?" Freddy said while eating a chicken leg.

"Well.. no... not that I know of.. well to be fair.. It's actually been awhile since I said "hi" to her before as soon as I arrive here.." Foxy said scratching his head.

"Well, there you go! She was just startled by your mere presence." Freddy said jokily.

"Oh shut up!" Foxy said to him.

Freddy giggled, putting his chicken down.

Getting serious.

"Ok but like I'm all honesty, out of all the kids that live here, I wouldn't think you'd be the one that Ballora runs away from." Freddy admitted.

Foxy nodded, "Then, why would she run?"

"Uhhhh..." Freddy said trying to think of why.

"Maybe I hurt her feelings yesterday without even realising it."

"Did you even have the time to talk to Ballora yesterday?" Freddy said. "We were kinda at the beach all day yesterday, and I don't remember you two interacting that much." He continued.

"Not really.. I mean.. Ballora mostly talked with Baby, and then Puppet and her apologised to each other, then Puppet gave her some weird bag with a box inside-" Foxg stopped mid sentence.

"The bag, the box!" Foxy said with a smile.

"Whatever Puppet got her must be the reason why she ran from me!" Foxy said looking at Freddy.

"But.. what's in that box though?" Foxy said holding his chin, "Could it be a new dress! No.. she loves dresses she would never get embarrassed by one" Freddy rolled his eyes.

"Maybe it's some new skin care cream? No, that doesn't make sense.. does she even wear cream?! I mean how else could she get her skin that shiny and clean?" Foxy rambled on some more, and finally Freddy was getting sick of it.

"It's shoes! It's a pair of new shoes!" Freddy yelled at him, Foxy turned to him. "Why didn't you say something before!" He yelled at him, "You rambling on and on about nonsense is enjoyable to watch." Freddy smiled.
