Rose - A Poppy Playtime Story

Chapter 33 - Eyes

(Oh...)

"Hoppy?" Dogday said in disbelief. He stared at the green bunny in front of him.

The dog dropped the 'weapon', his eyes going wide. He backed up slightly, his tail in between his legs.

The rabbit's fur was disheveled and dirty. A part of her left ear was torn off, and she took sharp and quick breaths. Almost as if it was difficult to breathe.

Behind her was Crafty. She had a bloody bandage over her eyes, and she was holding the bunny's hand tightly.

Bomb was growling at the unfamiliar toys, her small body shaking with violence like usual.

"Dogday?" Hoppy asked in a soft tone. Her voice was raspy and sounded like it hurt to talk.

"Dogday?" Crafty echoes, her ears turning up in alarm. She turned her head side to side, her cyan hair blowing in the wind.

"Wait...I thought." Dogday began, but at that point he couldn't talk anymore. He covered his mouth with a paw and tears began streaming down his face.

"Oh shit! Don't cry!" Hoppy said, reaching her free paw out to him. Bomb tilted her head, staring at everyone like they had grown three more heads.

Just then a panicked voice filled the room.

"What are you doing here? Who are you? Leave Dogday alone!" Angel yelled, having a tight grasp on their grabpack.

The green hand buzzed with electricity, taken from the electrical unit on the wall near by.

Red (Maraca) jumped up, ready to fight. Crafty shrieked in fear, only able to hear what was around her.

Hoppy got in front of Crafty, grabbing a glass shard on the ground and pointing it at Angel.

"No- no!" Dogday said, wiping the tears. Though they were quickly replaced by a new river of them.

He stood in between the two groups. His hands outstretched on either side of him. Tears still poured down his face, but his voice was calm.

"Everyone calm down."

"Calm down?! Dogday, who the hell is this?" Angel yelled, their heart pounding.

"Excuse you! We're his friends, I don't know who the fuck you are!" Hoppy yelled back.

"Language!" Angel shrieked.

"Oh what are you? A parent? I'm allowed to use whatever language I want!"

Dogday looked between the two groups. Hoppy yelling, and Crafty shaking from fear. Angel and Red (Maraca) ready to fight.

Bomb stood next to Dogday, unable to decide whether to fight or help the dog.

"Everyone shut your mouth!" Dogday yelled above the crowd. It fell silent everyone's eyes diverted to him.

"You really think you should be making this much ruckus?! Catnap could be wandering around here right now! And we would be dead because of this stupid fight! Just calm down!"
