【 What a pleasant surprise 】

Chapter 12 | Things

Baby sat in the chair next to her father. She almost fell asleep to the sound of typing on the computer. "You alright, darling?" He asked, turning to her smiling. Baby opened her eyes, and smiled softly, nodding. "Mhmm.." She hummed. Afton turned back to the computer. After a couple moments of silence he said again, "Whatcha thinking about?"

Baby sat slightly up in her seat, still in a certain sleeping but sitting position. Her head rested on her right palm, and her elbow resting on the chairs elbow. "About Bryan.. Molten. All of this strange dimension stuff." AI Afton continued typing in his computer, codes that Baby couldn't understand like, 001011.

One of his writings were in binary code. She remembered the numbers. "01010100 01110111 01101001 01110011 01110100 01100101 01100100 00100000 01100001 01101110 01101001 01101101 01100001 01110100 01110010 01101111 01101110 01101001 01100011 01110011 00100000 01101001 01101110 01110110 01100001 01100100 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 01100101 00100000 01110000 01100001 01110010 01101011 00101110 00100000 01000100 01101001 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 00110011 00110011 00110100 00110011 00111001" [Can ya decode that? Muhaha]

"What about Bryan, and Molten?" He soon asked, glancing over to her. "I don't know, I'm just.. Worried.." She sighed, and looked at the floor. AI Afton turned to her, and back to the computer. "You have nothing to be worried about. Bryan might just be having a bad week."

"And Molten?" She asked. AI Afton stuttered, "Uh.."

Of course he didn't have an explanation. He's never cheerful. He didn't even have a Christmas hat- "Maybe he had the Christmas hat?" Baby looked at her dad. "Really? He hasn't even worn it since... I don't know, last year?"

"Look, if you're so worried go ask them. I'm sure their fine." He said. Still all he did was stare at the computer, writing in more codes. "This is ridiculous.." Baby said sighing. She got up and walked out of the room.

"You're ridiculous." AI Afton said chuckling. "I wonder why she's in such a bad mood..." He soon said to himself. "Didn't Ballora once mention girls get grumpy during a certain mont-"

Dimension 44533: Swap dimension 2:30 PM

"I won't say it another time. Give. It. Back." Lefty growled. Happy frog stuck her tongue out at him, holding his guitar. "It's what you deserve. YOU BROKE MY VIOLIN!" She hissed.
Lefty pulled out a knife and glared at her. "Oh please, every minute of you practicing sounded like hell." Happy frog gave him a deathly stare.

Looking at him and then the knife, she smiled in a rude manner and said, "Do you really think you can scare me?"

Lefty smiled at her, and held up the knife. "WOAH, woah woah!" Both looked over to see bryan holding up his hands. "Cmon guys.. let's not do this." He smiled, walking over to them. Lefty glared at him. "Okay here.. Happy Frog, put down the guitar." She shook her head. "Nuh Uh! He broke my violin." Bryan nodded. "Yes, yes I- I know.. I'll get you a new one just.. put it down." She looked at him, and then lefty. "No violence needed." Bryan said. Sighing, she put in down.

"Okay, now Lefty. Put away the knife." Lefty growled at Bryan. He put away the knife, mumbling angrily, "Weeks ago saying violence is the answer lefty! No shit.." He said, making Bryan's voice as high pitched. "Language." Bryan then said. Lefty rolled his eyes.

"Now, apologize."

Lefty looked at his rival. "Sorry.." Happy frog said, gritting her teeth. You could tell she didn't mean it. "Sorry..." Lefty mumbled quietly. "What was that?" Bryan said. Lefty shot a stare to Bryan, watching the human raise his eyebrows. "I said.. I'm Sorry." He said louder. "Great!" Bryan smiled. He was being so nice.

"Why are you acting so weird?" She asked. Bryan smiled at her awkwardly. "I Uh... It's Opposite Day?" Both stared at him. Soon Happy Frog broke the silence. "I guess I gotta go check my calendar." She walked away.

"Alright Lefty, i need to talk to you." Bryan said, putting on a serious face. Lefty raises his eye brows, and nodded. "Mkay?" Bryan motioned Lefty to follow him outside. "Didn't you say to never go outside?" Lefty asked awkwardly. Bryan quickly thought of an excuse. "Uh, Well you can now. It's almost Halloween after all."

Lefty muttered, and walked outside. "So, what did you have to tell me?" He asked, hands on his hips. "You're good with calculating dimensions, right?" He asked. Lefty gave an confused look, "I mean... Molten.. Molten's always been good at that."

"Uh..." Bryan stuttered. "Molten's Uh.. He's really not in a good mind state right now.. uh...." Lefty watched Bryan. Did he know it was a lie? "Mind state?" He said, squinting slightly. "He Uh.. Can't think very well..."

Lefty nodded slowly. "I don't-" "can you calculate dimensions or not?" Bryan said, cutting him off. Lefty looked at the ground, and back at Bryan. "I Uh... I've done it before..."
Bryan looked at him, crossing his arms, with an eyebrow raised. "So? Are you good or not?" He said with his natural sassy voice. Lefty glared at him, and looked to the ground. "Yeah I.. guess... I'm not the best, but Molten's taught me some props of how the computer works and stuff...."

Just what Bryan needed.

"Alright, then you're hired. Let's go!" Bryan said smiling. "I didn't even agree to- HEY!" Bryan pulled Lefty back inside, and into the portal room. "How do you even have the strength to do this?!"

Bryan turned back to him. "Book logic."
