It's Been So Long | Eclipse x Reader

1- Sun and Moon

You gasped, looking at Sun in awe. He was the coolest thing you ever saw!

Sun noticed you, and his entire face lit up. He knelt down, clasping his hands together. "Hello there," he said sweetly. His voice was still cheery, but gentle. "What's your name, new friend?"

You couldn't help but smile at his cheerfulness, giggling. "I'm Y/N!"

"Y/N!" Sun repeated, and his smile seemed to grow. "A wonderful name! Jared may have already told you, but I'm Sun! Moony and I are the Daycare Attendant."

You tilted your head, blinking with confusion. "But... where is Moon?"

Sun grinned. "Now that's the magical part, Y/N."

Then, he stood up and smiled at Jared. "Hit the lights, would you, friend?"

Jared nodded and he went over to a light switch. Then, he flicked the switch, the room swiftly falling into darkness.

You and your mother gasped as Sun suddenly changed.

Like magic, Sun was replaced with another jester like animatronic, but with the head resembling a grinning crescent moon. The sun rays surrounding what was once Sun's face were retracted into his head, the left half of his face black with his teeth and eyes still visible, and the right side of his face, shaped like the crescent moon, was white. He also wore a nightcap on his head that seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Holy crap..." your mother breathed, astonished.

You looked at the new animatronic in awe and wonder, recognizing him from his golden statue. "Wow..."

The new animatronic smiled and knelt down, holding out his hand. "Hello, starlight. I am Moondrop, the Naptime Attendant, and Sundrop's other half."

You found yourself smiling, and took Moon's hand. "Hi! I'm Y/N!"

"A name fit for a superstar, little one."

Your mother stepped forward, looking at Jared. "So, what... they're split personalities?"

Jared shook his head, gesturing to Moon as he stood up. "Not quite. They're an animatronic with dual A.I., meant to switch like night and day. Sundrop is meant to handle the children, burn out their energy with different, but still fun and engaging activities. Moondrop is to take care of the children during naptime, help them get to sleep, and act as their protector."

"We are programmed to handle things, such as... strangers trying to get into the Daycare, accordingly," Moon added. "We also keep track of every child that is in the Daycare, and if they try to leave the Daycare without adult supervision, Sun and I will track them down and return them here while our security guard, Isaiah, is alerted."

"Well..."

"Pleeeease, Mommy?!" you exclaimed, reaching out and holding her hand. "This place seems like sooo much fun, and Sun and Moon are so nice!"

Your mother bit her bottom lip, looking at you with mild uncertainty, but then her eyes softened and she sighed. "Alright."

You squealed with excitement, clapping your hands before hugging her. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Jared smiled and then he flicked the switch again, allowing Sun to return.

You, however, noticed that Sun made an odd noise as he transformed back, and he was frowning a little, but the big grin on his face swiftly returned, and then he abruptly scooped you into his arms.

"Ohhhhh, this is going to be so much fun!" he squealed, gently bouncing you in his arms, making you giggle. "We'll have lots of fun, Y/N, I swear it- ooh, no, I shouldn't swear- I promise you! Yeah, I promise you!"

After Jared and your mother talked for a few more minutes, you and Sun were left alone, and he eagerly led you to a colorful slide with a sign that said "Slide Into Fun!"

"Now, follow me, little one!" Sun said, looking excited as he slid into the slide.

You couldn't help but grin and follow him. You squealed as you slid down the colorful plastic, the world almost speeding past you.

And then, the next thing you knew, you landed on something, and you were surrounded by colorful plastic balls, and, suddenly, Sun was helping you to your feet.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" Sun asked, his face full of concern, until you nodded.

"I'm okay," you chirped, making Sun sigh in relief. You looked around at the plastic balls, realizing that you were in a ball pit.

"Good," Sun smiled, and then his infamous grin returned. He then lifted his arms and shot out his hands in a grand gesture. "Welcome to the Superstar Daycare!"

You lifted your head, and gasped as you took in the almost magical sight in front of you.

Two large interconnected towers of climbing structures and slides stretched across the room, almost like a maze, filled with children who were giggling and running about. Laughter and even screaming filled the air as the other children raced around, even ogling and pointing at cutouts of the Glamrocks hanging on the walls.

The floor also appeared to be made up entirely out of cushions, with a rainbow bridge that separated the play structures and the ball pit. Cheerful, playful music filled the air, setting the atmosphere into a bright, happy mood that made you smile from ear to ear.

"I love it!" you exclaimed, tackling Sun in a hug, causing the sunny animatronic to laugh as he hugged you back.

"I'm sooooo happy to hear that!" Sun cheered, twirling the both of you around. "Ohhhh, we'll have so much fun! We'll finger paint, do arts and crafts, eat a few treats and share lots of laughs-!"

"Ahem."

The two of you froze, and slowly turned around to see a tall man... but you had to stifle a laugh.

The man was probably one of the security guards of the Pizzaplex, because he was wearing a uniform that reminded you of a police officer... but he was covered in colorful globs of glitter glue, making him sparkle like a Disney princess.

Sun made a noise that reminded you of a snort, but he tried to hide it, covering his mouth. "Officer Isaiah... I," a small giggle erupted in between his words, "I see that Eddie got into the glitter glue again."

Isaiah looked at him with a sour look. "Yes, he did, Sundrop, because you forgot to lock the art supplies cabinet... again."

Sun tried to look serious, but it was pretty obvious that he was struggling not to laugh. "R-right, right... I'll- I'll take care of Eddie. Just stay with Y/N here for a moment, would you?"

Isaiah sighed, looking defeated. "Sure. Just get me a new uniform or so help me, I'll cover you in glitter glue."

Sun giggled as he led you out of the ball pit. "Of course. Y/N, stay here with Officer Isaiah a little bit, superstar. I have to put a little rascal in time-out."

"Okay, Sun!" you giggled, watching as Sun walked off. Isaiah sighed, standing next to you while you two waited.

Then, with a big smile on your face, you turned to the grumpy man, and said, "You look like a Disney princess."

Isaiah glared at you, but only muttered, "I don't get paid enough for any of this."

You had the feeling that you were going to love it here in the Daycare.
