WDOH: rewired

Brand New

Everything was on fire, smoke arose from the ground and floated out the walls. Pasha watched his friends melt away, hoping, screaming for his help but he was powerless to stop it. Out of the thick smoke burst Harley, his plastic casing melted away and fused to his wires, exposing his endoskeleton. The worst part of his body affected by the fire was his feet and arms, he had a crying human baby in his melted arms. The poor baby screamed for it's mum but Pasha could not see her with Harley. The hyena seemed to be looking for an escape but there was nowhere them to go. Harley decided to eat the baby. Pasha could not understand why until he remembered that Harley's chest was fire resistant... Pasha's lime green eyes snapped open, everything was quite, firefly like dust sparkled in the blinding lights of the spotlights. The stage smelt of freshly cut oak planks, the heavy, blood red curtain hung from above like chandeliers, the tables and chair were just new in.  He looked around his restaurant with a shocked expression. The place looked brand new, not a cockroach in sight. Pasha happened to glance down at his claws, they were polished and shiny, much like the other parts of his body, no more mould or rust. The panther could not believe his eyes when kids came flooding in to his Pizza Restaurant, running to different rooms, it almost brought tears to his eyes. Pasha performed with brilliance, the children sung along with him, this was the stuff that Pasha dreamed of, the stuff that was missing all these cursed years.

After the children went home and the place closed for the night, "guys?!" shouted Pasha as he jumped down from off the stage, his paws making a 'thud' sound as they hit the crimson red carpet. 

Pasha went looking for his friends... But what he found first, made his circuits spark. Pasha wandered into the 'Spare Parts' room, in hope to find Tilly or maybe Bailey but all he found was the dismantled parts of his friends all over the floor, like a mass-murder. Pasha spotted Damien's dismembered body on the floor, Damien's wires were twisted around what was left of his endoskeleton. 

Pasha flopped to the ground, "no!... My friends!" Pasha screamed. 

For the first time in a long time, Pasha was able to cry. A single tear raced down his face. A warm shadow appeared over Pasha as he weeped, 

"Oi! Pasha, no crying... Did ya Miss me?" asked a fiery female voice, 

Pasha turned around slowly just to see someone from his dark past. The light blasted out from behind her, Pasha looked in horror as he saw what he thought was his past hunting him, 

"Lucia?!..." whispered Pasha, tears still streaming down his face. 

Lucia was brand new, her white coat sparked in the bright lights, her sky blue cheeks glowed, her blue socks could now be seen, after years of wear and tare. Lucia smiled and laughed with surprise, hugging Pasha, before wiping Pasha's hot tears away. The white and blue Lioness caught sight of what made Pasha so upset, 

"Come Pasha... I have something to show you" told Lucia heading towards the door, Pasha followed on. 

Lucia took Pasha into a large room. Paintings of forests and creepy insects on the wall, the over head lights had web inspired lamp shades over them.  

"Spencer's stage?... Why have you brought me here, Lucia?" asked Pasha. 

All of a sudden, Pasha's friends all jumped out of hidden crevices, yelling 

"surprise!" Pasha stepped back in amazement, all his friends had a major upgrade.

Even Damien was there, he was on Spencer's stage... He was Smiling... That threw Pasha off a little, 

"Damien?... Are you smiling?" Asked Pasha, stunned. 

Damien laughed, "yes... I can smile!... I can laugh... Oh Pasha, I am complete" smiled Damien for the first time in one hundred years. 

Pasha saw everyone but Sadie, "where is Sadie?" asked Pasha, looking around the room for her, 

"Well... Eh... Pasha, there was an accident..." Said Bailey, looking down a little. 

Pasha tipped his head to one side, "Pasha... Turn around" mentioned Tilly. 

Pasha did so and turned around to see Kaiden the Kermode Bear, "yo Pasha!" chuckled Kaiden. 

The Bear's, dirty-hazel colouring shone bleakly in the lighting, he held in his sharp claws, what looked like a dark blue bow tie. Kaiden had a shifty smile on his face as  he approached Pasha with a confident walk. 

Pasha inhaled noisily, "Sadie?!..." Squeaked Pasha, his ears wilted to the sides of his head. 

Kaiden gave Pasha a confused look, then burst out laughing, "no... Ahahahaha!... I was just putting the final layer of paint on her!... Oh my goodnesses Pasha!" laughed Kaiden, wiping tears away from his eyes.

A couple of moments later Sadie slithered in, "Tilly was right... She is different" thought Pasha, but he could not think of what it was. Sadie was still blue but her body was a bit thinner, she was more of a Cobra than a snake. Sadie smiled as her hood rose, "party time" she said in a sinister creepy voice. Pasha agreed "yeah..." Until Sadie remembered something, 

"The restaurant has been renamed and a new animatronic is in charge" announced Sadie. 

"A new animatronic is in charge, a new animatronic is in charge, a new animatronic is in charge" played on repeat in Pasha's head.

Sadie continued, "I am in charge now" she said with a cruel grin. 

Pasha could not believe it, "why are you in charge?" asked Pasha sourly. 

Sadie turned her attention to Pasha, "everything is put right now. You were never meant to be in charge, Pasha. 

You were only in charge for a while because I was broken but Kaiden was still working and he fixed us... You all owe him" hissed Sadie. 

Pasha sat down in defeat, he looked down at his claws, they shook like an earthquake taring up a small village. 

Sadie nodded at Kaiden, "Ok. Things are going to be a bit different, you all will be under my control" chuckled Sadie. 

Kaiden made a sad face at Pasha just as Sadie left the room, returning back to her new stage. Kaiden looked around the others, "I don't know what happened... I am so sorry, her memory was too badly damaged, I had to use her old one... I did what I could with her" sniffed Kaiden, twiddling his thumbs.
