2 years earlier

During the onset of the Korean war

The Chinese troops are continuing their pash down south

A US soldier named James Steven Patterson or his nickname Jimmy Patterson

"Jimmy, we have to go, we're losing too many men" the squad leader said

" No We can still fight" Jimmy said

"YOU WILL GET YOURSELF KILL- HE said before he was cut off

"INCOMING "a soldier named Ethan Williams yelled

"Everyone take over" Jimmy ordered

All the soldiers expect the captain took cover

Jimmy realizes the captain is going to get himself killed

"GET DOWN" The Captain yelled

Jimmy saved the captain but he was killed and Jimmy got hurt as a result

But unexpectedly the captain somehow survived

But the captain passed out because of his injuries

"Carry the captain back to the plane" Jimmy ordered

"Sir yes sir" the other soldiers said
============================

Present Day

Jimmy arrives at Blacklands Manor orphanage to settle in for his retirement

"Hello may I help you" Miss Beverly asked

"Hello, my name is James Steven Patterson but you can call me Jimmy, I'm here to settle in for my retirement and I had a lot of problems back in America" Jimmy responded

"Well, Nice to meet you Jimmy, I'm Miss Susie Beverly, I'm in charge of the orphanage" Miss Beverly introduces herself

"A orphanage, huh that reminds me of something" Jimmy noticed

Miss Beverly shows Jimmy the Hopp trio's bedroom

At first Jimmy was nervous at them because it reminded him of something he will never forget

"Is there something wrong Jimmy?" Miss Beverly asked

Well,  there's something very unsettling about that purple girl, I don't know what she is afraid of" Jimmy responded

"Oh Esther, Yeah I don't know what is wrong with her either, this was going on for the past few months" Miss Beverly Said

"I see" Jimmy said

Later at 3 AM at night

Esther, Isaac and Molly sleeping in their beds when suddenly

Mr Hopp's eye moves to look at Esther

" She is so cute and adorable" Mr Hopp said quietly

Esther heard that but when she opened her eyes she saw that Mr Hopp was gone

She looks over to Isaac and Molly and realizes that Mr Stripes and Ms Bo were gone as well

Isaac and Molly woke up and realized that they are gone too

"Where did our plushies go?" Molly asked

"I have no idea" Esther responded

Those words kept playing in Esther's mind over and over again like it's a loop

The 3 went to search for the 3 plushies

But they need to be careful as the maidens are protroling the halls

As the trio got closer and closer to the source of the music, it was coming from the kitchen

The trio entered the kitchen to find the 3 plushies laying on the kitchen floor

And they grabbed them

"And what are you 3 doing up at this hour?" Miss Beverly asked as she was standing in the doorway

"Uh oh" all 3 of them said

"Forget it for now, we'll talk about it in the morning, back to your bedroom you 3, I'll get your breakfast ready for you 3 and I'll bring it to you at sunrise before you 3 wake up" miss Beverly said

"Miss Beverly, Who was that man we saw earlier? He seems very nervous" Esther asked

"That was Jimmy, a retired military soldier who came here to settle in for his retirement" Miss Beverly answers

"Was he the veteran in world war 2 and the Korean war?" Esther asked

"More like Jimmy the brat, hehehehe"Molly mocked and laughs

"Oh you're one to talk" a maiden named Miss Delight said in a grumpy tone

"What" Molly said in confusion

"I remember when you caused Esther to fall down the stairs" Miss Delight said

"Guys can one of you sleep with me I don't want any more nightmares" Esther asked

"That's alright Molly, you want your privately

Meanwhile

Jimmy was having nightmares from the war

He woke up and goes to the main trio's bedroom and finds them sleeping, he smiled and left them a note and a box of chocolate
