Daycare 2

Day 2: A Ball-Thing

"Welcoooooome to a new daaaay aaaaaat daycaaaaaaaaaaaaaare!!" Liam took a deep breath and exhaled, loudly. He was surprised he was able to hold his breath that whole sentence. "O-Kay!" He skipped into the daycare and up the stairs. "Hiiiiii every--!!" Liam paused. He stopped so abruptly that he tripped and face-planted. He waited a second before slowly raising his head off of the ground. "Nope, they're still there." Liam hopped onto his feet and sighed.

"Okay, now..." He pointed a finger at the men in fancy suits. "...who are you people!?" Liam heard a sigh and spotted Lily shuffle over to him. "Basically..." she jabbed a thumb back towards Gold. "Gold's mom recently inherited her dad's fortune, right? And, so, she has to go to this ball-thing. And the hosts demanded to see Gold as well. So, they're here to take him." Lily exhaled after the long explanation.

Liam had to pause once more to ponder what she had just said. "Wait...so we're going to a party!?" Liam then exclaimed. A rush of excitement washed over the amber haired boy. "Er...no--" Before the man could finish, Liam rushed upstairs and mere seconds later, back down. He was dressed in a fancy suit, almost the same as the men. "Now I'm ready!" He gave a toothy grin. "Oh! Oh! Wait, lemme get ready!" Tory ran upstairs as well before anyone could object. "Er..." The man sighed and turned to Gold-Mann. "Master Gold, would you like to bring your friends to the gala?" He asked. "Master? Geez, fancy-pants." Gabby laughed at the man's choice of words.

"Though, I don't recommend it." The other man grumbled, while giving Gabby a look. Carmen glared at the man angrily. "Bob, Larry, if I must go to the "gala" then I'm taking my friends with me." Gold grumbled. "Yes, sir." Bob and Larry nodded and bowed in unison. "Alright I'm back!" Tory ran back down, but she had a suit like Liam. "Noooope." Lily grabbed Tory's shoulders and shoved her back up the chairs. "Come on, Puppet. You've got to get dressed, too, y'know." Gabby grabbed Puppet's hand and dragged her up as well. "W...Wait. I don't have anything to wear..." Despite Puppet's words, Gabby continued walking.

It was silent with only the boys in the room. Liam kept tapping his feet on the ground with an expectant look on his face. "Mm...!" He suddenly lunged towards the stairs! "I can't take it anymore!!" He yelped. Carmen- being the quick person he is -hurriedly grabbed Liam so he didn't end up walking in on the girls. "Sir, it is quite rude to walk in on a female." Bob shook his head in disappointment. "I can't help it! Lily could be getting eaten by BIGFOOT right now!!!" Liam yelled. It looks as though he's inherited his father's weird mind. "Bigfoot? Seriously?" Ace grumbled. "That IS a little far fetched." Snowb--er Ronnie mumbled nervously.

"Lily almost always starts the conversations!" Liam bawled. "And she had such shiny and bouncy brown hair! And she looked exactly like a giant lizard when she laid down! And she made the best mac n' cheese--!" Carmen tried his best not to burst into laughter. "You say that like she's dead. Talk about Lily-complex." He mumbled the last part. "She could be!" Ronnie began fidgeting nervously. "E-Eh...please don't say that..." He mumbled. Liam stared at him for a second before sighing. "Fiiine. But if I find Bigfoot up there...!"

"Alright NOW I'm ready--!" Tory skipped downstairs, only to trip and faceplant. "A-Are you okay!?" Ronnie quickly made his way over to help Tory. "Agh! If there's one thing I hate it's heels!" She growled, glaring at her feet. She wore a pale orange gown. It had no sleeves, only straps. "T...Tell me about it...And this dress is too tight." Puppet actually held onto the railing as she wobbled down the steps. She wore a black and white checkered gown. It's sleeves hung perfectly on her shoulders. Puppet turned to the two sisters. "How do you walk in--wah!!" Puppet almost fell down, as Tory did, but Ace caught her. "Phew..." Puppet sighed and glanced up at Ace. "Thanks." Ace nodded, a light shade of rouge dusting his cheeks. Ronnie looked at the two of them, with a seemingly jealous-looking expression painted on his face. He turned to Tory. "I'm sorry I couldn't catch you like he did." He mumbled apologetically. Tory grinned at him. "It's fine! Don't worry about it!"
