As Y/N returned to playing in the jungle gym, Alfie couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself at the innocence of the situation. With a warm smile, he made his way over to where Craig was, his heart aching for the upset child.

"Hey there, Craig," Alfie said gently, crouching down beside him. "Are you okay?"

Craig sniffled, wiping away his tears with the back of his hand. "I... I don't know. Y/N said my name was weird."

Alfie's heart sank at the thought of Craig feeling hurt. "Oh, buddy, everyone has different names, and that's what makes us unique. There's nothing wrong with yours."

Craig looked up at Alfie, his eyes still watery but curiosity shining through. "Really..?"

"Absolutely," Alfie affirmed with a reassuring smile. "In fact, I think Craig is a pretty cool name. It's special because it's yours."

A small, hesitant smile tugged at the corners of Craig's lips, and Alfie felt a sense of relief wash over him. As he spent time comforting Craig, he made a mental note to keep track of Y/N's "victims" of accidental harm.

---------------------------

As the Y/N explores the jungle gym structures, their attention is captivated by the array of colorful slides, ladders, and tunnels. Amidst the excitement of their adventure, they catch a glimpse of something out of place—a delicate white flower nestled in a crevice on the wall.

For a moment, Y/N pauses, their curiosity piqued by the unexpected sight. "What is that..?" They whispered to themselves before he got distracted by a scream. 'Probably from other kids playing tag!' Y/N thought to themselves. Their youthful enthusiasm quickly pulls them back into the present and they decide to ignore the flower for now, eager to continue their journey through the jungle gym towards the scream to see if they could join.

Unbeknownst to Y/N, that simple white flower may hold some secrets, waiting to be discovered by someone who stops to take a closer look. But for now, it remains a fleeting detail in the bustling jungle gym.

-------------------------

Y/N dashed around the jungle gym, their laughter echoing through the colorful structure as they played tag with the other kids. They were caught up in the thrill of the game, their focus solely on the joy of the moment.

Suddenly, a mans voice rang out, telling the children that its nap time, cutting through the sounds of play. Y/N paused, turning to see a daycare employee beckoning the children from the jungle gym area.

The man was wearing something that resembled a Starbucks employee. His hair is a beautiful golden brown. He had flowers covering his left eye. His face also appeared to be completely blacked, making it seem as if it was a void. His mouth was stretched out like how a child would draw a smile and his eye would be the same.. which is kinda weird.. Besides that his appearance would be almost human like.. wait.. what are those things floating aroun- 'WHAT THE... WHAT ARE THOSE??' Y/N's eyes widened.

Y/N scurried over to another kid whisper shouting to them, "hey! w- what are those things floating around that m- man??! a- and why does it look so... ug-"  The other kid looked at them for a moment before giggling, "You must be new here! His name is Wendy.. Even if he looks weird just give him a chance, hes really nice to all of us." They paused for a quick moment, " Oh yeah, and those things are eyes, they're really cute! You should ask Mr Wendy for one, since, ya know.. you're new..?"

"Oooh.. Thanks! And.. I'll think abou- wait, what about those yellow things around him..?" Y/N asked in a puzzled. "Those are stars! they light up dimly at some places during nap time. It helps some of us sleep better. And before you ask, yes, I've been here many,  many, many, times.. too many times than I can count. That's why I know so many things!" they beamed.

"Thank again! By the way.. what's your name..? I'm Y/N." They smiled. "Benjamin. You can call me Ben though, or jam or whatever!" He smiled back.

"Children, it's nap time!" Wendy announced again with boundless enthusiasm, his voice carrying across the room. "First ones there get to pick which bed to sleep on!"

Y/N's heart sank just a little at the mention of nap time. They wanted to talk to this new found friend a little longer. They also had been having so much fun playing, but he didn't want to get in trouble.

With a resigned sigh, Y/N joined the other children as they followed Wendy to the sleeping area. As they walked, Y/N couldn't help but glance back at the jungle gym and Benjamin, their mind still buzzing with the energy of their playtime adventure. But soon enough, they found themselves choosing a bed and settling in, ready to rest and recharge for the rest of the day's adventures at the daycare.
