Every puppet has a master (marionette)

This is about a 14 year old boy by the name of Hartley. (It is a unique name that I use for my characters) He's been teased at school for not having a girlfriend. Later, he goes to bed and wakes up in a old abandoned pizzeria. He walks around and finds a room called..."The Prize Corner." And soon, an animatronic with a black bow tie and hat appears behind Hartley. He said that Hartley will be known as the marionette until he gets a girlfriend...easy right?
