A Dummy's Lady - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}

Getting Closer

October 13, 2015 - 1:00 p.m.

I stood at the end of the hallway, looking down at my feet. A strand of hair dangled in front of my face, and I brushed it back, my fingers touching the smooth and softness of my hair. I put my arms to the sides. Sweat poured from my palms. I turned my head slightly and noticed tiny drops of sweat on the school grounds.

I sighed and lifted my head. I stared at the other end of the hallway. Bright light flickered on, and monsters appeared from the darkness. Big monsters. Small monsters. They all looked where I was, and one of them beckoned with a claw, gesturing me to come over to them.

I hugged myself and looked away, trying to send them the message that I did not want to go over there.

"Shelly..."

I felt the little hairs on my arms stand up at the sound of someone calling for me.

And it was creepy.

"Shelly...Shelly..." the voice repeated.

Slowly, I turned my body back - and spotted Slappy.

There he was. With his monster friends. He was standing between the monsters and had an evil grin.

"Shelly, come to me," the puppet ordered. "Come to me, my new bride." He raised a hand high in the air and began moving two fingers back and forth. "You belong to Slappy."

I suddenly felt myself moving in the monsters' direction. I noticed that my feet were walking.

And I had no control of them.

Slappy did.

"No. No!" I protested. I looked around to see if I could grab onto something. Anything!

I spotted an open locker and grabbed ahold of it. I grabbed the small door of the locker with one hand, while I gripped the inside of the locker with my other hand. I heard Slappy chuckling in the distance.

"Not today," I said to myself. "I am not getting married, especially to somebody who I just met."

"Do not fight it, my love," Slappy said soothingly, making my hair stand straight up. "We were met for each other. We have a lot in common. We both have been used and shut out from the world. The universe." From the corner of my eye, I saw him holding up his other hand. "This is for the best, and I promise you that I will make you the happiest girl on this planet." He clenched both of his hands into tight fists, and I instantly flew back.

"Yah!" I screamed as I let go of the locker and fell back. I landed on the hard ground, catching my breath.

"Hello, my dear."

Startled, I glanced up - and saw the puppet looking back at me. His wooden eyebrows were narrowed, and he had his hands on his hips.

"So glad that you finally decided to join us," he said, smirking.

I let out a growl and was about to stand up, when he forced me back down.

"Just sit tightly, my queen. The priest will be here momentarily." He forced himself in my lap and snuggled against me.

I could feel myself blushing. He was kind of cute resting in my lap, like a baby keeping close to its mother.

I picked him up and rocked him. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

My eyes widened. I stopped rocking him and blushed even redder. I had never been kissed before.

"Ah. Someone is blushing," the puppet pointed out, pointing at my cheeks.

"N-no, I am not," I refused, feeling a little embarrassed.

Soon, a huge monster loomed over me and the puppet, and Slappy turned to the monster.

"Finally! The priest is here," Slappy commented. He quickly got out of my lap and smiled at me. "Shall we?" He then changed.

Sparkles formed around him, and he grew taller. His hands grew bigger, and his face began to get softer. When the transformation was completed, he bent down to my level and took my hand.

My heart beat rapidly. My stomach tied into knots. "Slappy..." I could not say anything else. I was amazed at what he had become.

Human. He had become a human being.

He was a few inches taller than me now. His hand was soft and warm. No longer were his eyes made of glass, and his lips were soft to the touch.

"Slappy..." I choked out. "You..." Before I could say anything else, Slappy kissed me deeply, pressing his human lips against my lips.

I loved it.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. It was wonderful. I hoped that it would never end.

He soon pulled away from the kiss and held my face in his warm hands.

"Shelly...Shelly...Shelly..." he said my name.

I let out a yawn and rested my head on his chest.

"Shelly...Shelly..."

"Shelly!"

I opened my eyes. "Who? What?" I looked at my surroundings. I was in a classroom. There were desks and chairs in the middle of the room. Poster after poster hung on the walls.

I grunted and stood up.

"Ah!"

I fell back down and noticed that my left wrist was handcuffed to a desk, assuming that the desk was the teacher's desk.

I clenched my teeth as I struggled to break free. It was no use.

"I am chained to a stupid desk."

"Not for long."

"Hmm?" I turned to where that voice came from.

I spotted Slappy sitting on the teacher's desk. His legs were crossed.

"Good. You are awake," he told me.

I raised an eyebrow. "Awake?"

"You fell asleep in the car." He took off the cap and sunglasses and tossed them onto the desk. "Luckily, you are wide awake for our wedding."

"W-wedding?"

He motioned with a hand, and a monster came in the room. "Shelly, meet the priest. He will be wedding us."

"When should I wed you?" the monstrous priest asked.

Slappy glared at me and chuckled. "Right now would be excellent."
