The Clown & The Dancer

Hot mess

Alrighty, welcome to chapter two amigos

______________________________________________________________________________

A loud bang echoed through the pizzeria as Baby opened- no, slammed open the backstage entrance door, and made her back to the main stage area where Funtime Freddy was telling horrible jokes.

"HEY BON-BON, WHAT D-DO YOU C-CALL NINETY NINE RABBITS STEPPING BACKWARDS?"

His little rabbit puppet groaned. "I don't know Freddy, please inform me."

"A R-R-RECEDING HARE LINE!"

All the kids rolled their eyes. The only laughter that echoed through the establishment was that of the laugh track Lolbit was blasting through the speakers. Freddy, bless his soul, didn't even notice. Baby shared an eye roll with the kids as she took a seat next to Lolbit.

"Hey there homegirl, back from your temper tantrum?"

Baby shot the platinum blonde haired girl a dirty look. " Shut it before I bop you one."

"Lol alright, try not to show me too much love it's getting overwhelming."

This elicited a snort from the redhead. "Okay, I'll try. I just really love shoving affection up your as-" Ballora took a seat next to Baby and stopped her before she could finish her sentence. "Baby!" The clown shot the blue-haired beauty an apologetic smile. "Right, sorry. No swearing during work hours." Ballora smiled in satisfaction while Lolbit blew a stray strand of hair out of her face.

"Hey, how come Miss Prance-a-lot gets apologies and I don't?"

"Because I don't like you."

Lolbit laughed. "Jeez, I thought you said you were gonna cut down on the affection, If this escalates to you trying to make out with me-"

Baby snorted again. "Please, you're not my type."

"Then who is your type shortstop? The tall, graceful ones?"

Baby's face turned bright red. But before she could bop Lolbit one and stop the ballerina next to her from getting any more hints, Yenndo interrupted her. Normally, she would be annoyed because this kept happening for (plot convenience) some reason, but right now she was grateful that Lolbit couldn't give away her 'well' kept secret.

"Hello there ladies~" all the girls groaned. "I hate to interrupt you fine girls in the middle of your conversation, but I thought you should know that the owner called to say he's stopping by tomorrow morning."

"Wait, Afton's coming by? Tomorrow morning?!" Baby yelled

Yenndo scratched at his wispy goatee. "Yes sir, he called just a few minutes ago."

"Fu-"

"Baby!"

"Sorry, but that motherflipper is giving us no time to prepare!"

Currently, the pizzeria was kind of a hot mess. If Afton was coming by tomorrow, they needed to clean up. Immediately. Afton may have been kind enough to let them practically live here, but he was a strict man with high expectations. He would not be impressed with the huge mess that had managed to stir up today. The pizza the kids had thrown and stuck to the window was already starting to stress the ringleader out.

"Hey man, don't worry. I'm sure we could totally clean this dump up by tomorrow morning."

Ballora grabbed one of the clown's hands. "Yes, I am positive if we somehow get everyone to cooperate, then we can clean this place up, and none of us will have anything to worry about." Baby felt slight relief wash over herself. Partially from what Ballora said, but mostly because their hands were touching.

"Yeah, there's hope. We're not screwed." This was directed more to herself than anyone else.

Yenndo cleared his throat. "If you all are done panicking now, can I ask you something sir?"

"Ugh, what is it?"

"Can you get your weird kids off of me?" Yenndo turned around revealing five Bidybabs clinging to the back of his grey and white striped vest.

"First off, they're not my kids. Second off, sorry Yenn, but that's not going to happen."

"Aw c'mon, why not?"

"I have no control over them, they do whatever the hell they want."

Moments later more Bidybabs came over with the Minireenas and started using the older man as a jungle gym. "Can't you kids do this to your moms instead?"

"Hey, stop calling me their mom. They're not even kids. I think. I'm not sure actually."
