It was a beautiful morning when the building of the new restaurant that would be known as Tubbyland Entertainment was almost finished. Karen Isebella had just finished accomplishing a dream she had been wanting for a while. A restaurant based on the preschool show teletubbies. She was with her assistant Claire.

KAREN: Isn’t it beautiful Claire? So many children are gonna love Tubbyland entertainment.

CLAIRE: Indeed, with any luck it will make chuck e cheese look like a detention center. Speaking of which, I just spoke to the guys at the workshop and they said that the first tubby bot is almost ready to go and should be able to be activated by tomorrow.

KAREN: Excellent, which one of the tubby bots are we talking about here?

CLAIRE: The purple one, Tinky Winky.

KAREN: Perfect.

Later that day a man by the name of Peter Roy was walking towards the almost ready to open restaurant and when he walked inside he was amazed at how colorful and kid friendly the place looked. It looked like a place he would want to go to if he was still a kid.

He walked into the office and went to see Karen Isebella

He walked into the office and went to see Karen Isebella. She was really eager to meet the guy as she had plans for him.

KAREN: Hello Peter. (no doc ock reference intended)

PETER: Uh hello I’m here to apply for the night shift because my mom is tired of me sleeping all day and not doing anything to make money at night.

KAREN: Really now?

PETER: Yeah since I’m basically a nocturnal type of human she says I’d be good to take a night shift job and when I saw the newspaper article about tubbyland entertainment needing a night guard I applied as quickly as I could.

KAREN: So you really wanna work here do you?

PETER: Yes ma'am.

KAREN: And you know what a night guard does, right?

PETER: Yep, they made sure no one breaks in and steals anything and if said event does happen you give the police a call.

KAREN: Perfect, you'll do nicely.

PETER: You mean I’m hired just like that?

KAREN: Of course, you seem to understand the basic laws to being a night guard so allow me to get your uniform and I’ll show you around. What size shirt do you wear?

PETER: 22/30

KAREN: What luck we have one last shirt like that.

Karen then gave the shirt to Peter. She told him his shift started tomorrow night and then started showing him around the place. On his way through the dining area he saw the Tinky Winky animatronic sitting on a table. It was off so his eyes were closed and his head was down.

PETER: Uh Ms Isebella what exactly is this thing?

KAREN: Oh that is an animatronic but we the company call them tubby bots he’s only one out of the five tubby bots that are gonna be performing for the children at this restaurant.

PETER: Oh I see like the ones at chuck e cheese.

KAREN: Yeah like the ones there.

PETER: Are you sure you have permission from the original creators to do this type of restaurant?

KAREN: We wouldn’t be standing here today if they did not.

PETER: Oh yes of course.

KAREN: Besides, Teletubbies have become a popular thing here in America so of course they would allow us to do this as the kids will get to hang out with their favorite characters.

PETER: Makes total sense.

KAREN: Now let me show you your office.

Karen showed Peter the rest of the restaurant and they were soon finished, Karen was about to send him home.

KAREN: Now Peter, remember to be here by 11:00pm. The office is at the back of the building and the cameras should be ready.

Peter then gave a nod to Karen that said he understood. Karen went back to working on the programming for Tinky Winky by herself. She was very proud to have a restaurant and a night guard for it until they were ready to open but I'm sorry to say that her true intentions for this restaurant and Peter were far from good.
