   It was sometime during the summer I was sitting on a shelf, just lazily looking around the work shop. I couldn't move but that would have been evident given I was just a head at the time. Funtime Freddy, my stage name given to me by my father and creator Mr. Afton.
   I was in stage one of the construction plans and I sat watching Mr. Afton swing his mallet day and night, and after every thundering strike of the mallet came a handful of words.
   "Only 329 more things to complete till you can join your newly found friends buddy." Just by the ragged huffs of his breath and his grey hair you can tell he wouldn't live too much longer.
  Not much of a pleasant thought considering that he was technically my father but, what he would say would always fill my mind with questions. Who are my friends was at the top of that list but, come arrival day I would probably get the answer that my mind was hungering to know. He told of a glorious stage and of all the people I would make happy... he really was a dreamer, but I was desperate to make it reality.
During my early stages he would often talk about my sister Rachel who was a pink rabbit. She even came to visit me from time to time. She would talk about where she works and what she does and, I couldn't ask for a better sister.
   Five days before arrival night I was finally finished. My suit made of a hard, thick, and rather reflective plastic, I was comprised of multiple plates that altered colors between purple and a snow white. I was a two legged bipedal polar bear... a rather amusing design choice but I loved it.
  But most interesting of all was not my design but the little blue leech thingy attached to my right arm, and within the second it started to move. It turned and looked at me, studying me kinda.
   "Hi there I'm Bon-bon what's your name" the weird leech said in a high pitched voice.
   "Well I'm Freddy, Funtime Freddy," I corrected myself
   "So just for clarification I'm a rabbit not a leech... I know what your thinking." I looked away quickly and whistled pretending not to know what he was talking about. It was also kinda stupid of me not to recognize him as a rabbit considering my sister is one. Although the room quickly filled with silence with not a sound to be heard.
   "So arrival day is coming soon and I was wondering what we were going to wear." Bon-bon blurted out in attempt to create conversation.
   "I don't know I thought we were going like this," I remarked rather surprised by the question.
   "Well I could wear a tux and you can wear a purple dress or something," my face scrunched up in disgust at those very words.
   "I'm a boy you genius," I snapped back in retaliation.
   "Well whatever we need to start getting ready for arrival day, it's going to be at our front door in less than five days." I nodded in agreement and then I went to work on preparing for the arrival day.
