Smiling Critters continues on...

Chapter 546

Bobby and Picky were confused when they heard the announcement. "Cops are here?" questioned Picky. "Yeah right... nobody ever really comes, and even if they did the CEO never gets caught" Bobby said with a sigh crossing her arms. "True..." Picky said a bit disappointed. "I hope if there really are cops though that they don't get caught, it would t end well for them" Picky said as the two kept walking further into the factory.

Hoppy was finally released. "Argh... my head" Hoppy slowly walks through the long hallways of the factory. Their new permanent smile mocking them through all the reflective surfaces around them. "Stupid CEO... stupid Prototype... stupid people... stupid stupid STUPID!" they shout at the door. Hoppy looked at a few people walking past as they gave Hoppy a strange look. "Sorry... that wasn't meant for you..." they mumble an apology as the humans walk away. Hoppy sighs and walks further into the factory again. "This is so dumb... we can't show our real emotions anymore because it's not... not... realistic?!" Hoppy was fuming at the logic behind the scientist's words. "What do they know about realism?! We are talking animals anyways!" Hoppy was shouting at this point but it seemed they didn't care anymore, they were already angry at the world and the factory, and the CEO and the Prototype. "I wish I never came here..." Hoppy said with a sniffle. "I wish I never had my siblings drag me here... I wish Playtime Co. never existed... this place used to be so magical... so fun and bright... but now..." Hoppy sniffles again as they hug themself thinking about the factory, and their past. "The CEO is a monster..." Hoppy said as they finally broke down crying in Huggy Wuggy's Playtime room. "Why is life so unfair and cruel?!" Hoppy cries out. "It's because life was never meant to be fair" a voice came up from behind Hoppy startling the rabbit. Hoppy turns around quickly only to find... Bunzo. "B-Bunzo... where did you come from?" asked Hoppy tilting their head. "I've been here for a while... I just got out of the train station... the kids all left for the night" Bunzo said as he hopped over to Huggy's stand and sat down on the edge patting the spot next to him. Hoppy sighed and sat next to Bunzo sniffling again. "Hey... why are you crying?" Bunzo asks as he places his symbols down on the other side of him and looked towards Hoppy in concern. "It's nothing... just... thinking..." Hoppy said. "Well, it seems to be bothering you if you're crying" Bunzo points out much to Hoppy's dismay. "Yeah... it's just... everything going on is a lot to take in..." Hoppy looked at their paws avoiding Bunzo's eyes. "Hoppy... you're scared for the future?" Bunzo guessed and Hoppy laughs a bit. "Yeah... I am" Hoppy admits as they look at Bunzo, their smile betraying their real emotions, but Bunzo seems to notice that as he isn't smiling towards Hoppy despite Hoppy having their permanent smile.
