[𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲] [𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲]
POV:

There were sounds of screaming and yelling. I could feel someone kneeling beside me, shaking me, yelling at me. Their voices were muffled as everything was ringing in my ears, and everything blurred as the seconds went by. I could faintly see several figures crowding around me before my eyes closed completely and everything went silent.

Then, the next thing I knew, I was being shaken awake by a hand—furry hand?... I opened my eyes only to see a familiar character in front of me. My eyesight was still slightly blurry. As I took in the familiar figure, they looked slightly weird to me, and their skin was orange(?) and they were tall... I blinked. For a second, my eyes cleared and what I saw stunned me. I blinked my eyes again to make sure.

And sure enough, I heard the familiar cheery cartoon voice of the 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 in front of me.

"𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲!... 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗼, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱."

First-person POV

"Hello? Miss?.."
The tall toy dog spoke, waving his paw in front of my face as I snapped out of my thoughts.

I rubbed my eyes as I looked around before craning my neck to look at him.

And the first thing I said to him was:

"Why are you so tall?..."

Dogday blinked, as he scratched his cheek not knowing what to say.

"I don't know, ask our creators why we are so tall? This is what we looked like when we woke up and were sent to do our job."

I blinked my eyes awake and stood up from the bench as Dogday spoke again.

"The tour ended an hour ago, but don't worry, I'm sure your parents are up there somewhere looking for you…"

Dogday, internally nervous, reassured me while thinking:
'It has been an hour since the tour ended, and the girl might've been asleep here the whole time. Her parents are probably looking around for her… but how come I didn't hear anyone announcing about a missing child? Did she come alone?'

Dogday shook his head as he gestured to me to follow him.

"Follow me, Miss…?..uhm..Hehe I forgot to ask your name! By the way! I'm Dogday! The leader of the Smiling Critters!"

I glanced up at him, following by his side.

"[𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲].... [Name] [𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲]... Where are you taking me?"

While walking up the stairs leading to some building, I looked around amazed.
'Wow, Playcare looked so much better before the Hour of Joy. Oh right…how far along am I in the story? What date is it today?'

Dogday answered my question.

"I'm bringing you to the Head of Playcare… she might be able to help your situation since I can't go up there and accompany you," Dogday explained.
