You open your eyes, and immediately close them because they hurt from the bright light coming from the window about ten feet in front of you.

Wait... They hurt?!

You spring to your feet. "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive!!"

You jump and dance and wave your arms in the air, all things you couldn't do previously.

That's when you look down at your hands and see, not flesh, but wood.

Your face falls as you realize that your still not 'a real girl', and, infact, a puppet with consciousness.

You let out a long sigh.

That's when you heard a noise coming from the other side of the room you were in, the sound of a door.

"Y/N? You're a-alive!" Your master and creator, Gepetto, chuckled in disbelief.

You turn around to face him. You look him up and down and actually observe him for once, since before you were only a puppet. "I guess I am!"

"This is-is crazy. I-I never have heard anything like thos before- how did this even happen?" He rambles incredulously.

You find his rambling cute, kinda. "I don't know either, haha..."

"W-well, this is amazing!" He cheers, and continues rambling on, but you lost focus and observed him.

He was a fairly young man (aged down from the movie) only in his late twenties or early thirties. How old am I supposed to be? You wonder.

He was wearing an apron, one he wears everyday to work, and had dark pants with a white button up. He was actually, and you kind of hate to admit it, strikingly handsome.

I hope I'm not supposed to be too young. You think before you can stop yourself.

Suddenly, he picks you up from under the shoulders, "We should go about town! Maybe I could show you off or something..." He said, half only talking to himself.

"Go into town?" You ask.

"Oh, y-yes!" He says, being cought off guard. "Maybe you could make some friends or," he looks you up and down and slightly winces, "you could get more clothes."

That's when you notice your outfit, it was basically just scraps!

"I'll pay for it."

"Well, uhm, alright!" You agree.

"Let us go then!" He says triumphantly.

The town is loud today, bustling with many people from all over, many kids around the area as well, walking by themselves, with friends, or with parents.

I don't have any parents, do I? You realize.

You go to a few stores, having everything you got payed for my your creator.

It was really nice for him to do this. You smile at him fondly.
