The two guards walked down the hallway. Slappy was with them. He was not putting up a fight. He was not using his magic to take them down. He could. He was out of the jail cell. Alas, he could not.

He was worked up about Shelly.

The thought of not seeing his love made him sick to his stomach. He missed her presence. Her soft voice. Her beauty. And what made it worse was the fact that something could happen to her.

Something deadly.

Thinking of that alone, that Shelly could die, worried the puppet and forced him to grow weary. It felt as if his strength and magic were being drained by the bad ones.

One of the guards faced him. "You have been awfully quiet," he stated. "Why is that?"

Slappy did not respond. He just looked down.

The guard frowned. "Answer me. Or you will never get to the medical room. That would be a shame."

The puppet muttered something under his breath.

The other guard glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" he said. "What was it that you said?"

"You might as well do something to me!" Slappy repeated, louder this time. He looked at them, and tears formed in his eyes. "My heart is torn apart because I have not seen Shelly in forever!"

The first guard growled. "First of all, you do not have a heart. Puppets do not have one."

The second guard nodded in agreement. "Second of all, it has been thirty minutes since you saw the Lubriem."

"Would you stop calling her that?!" Slappy wiped away his tears. "She may be...whatever that is...but that is not what she is called! Her name is Shelly!"

"Yes." The second guard grinned. "The firstborn Lubriem's name is Shelly. Shelly Madison."

Slappy cried out in frustration and grabbed the guard who corrected him. "Why I ought to—"

The other guard pressed a button that was on the wall, and a door slid open.

"Welcome to the medical room," the guard who pushed the button said. "You will be happy that you are here."

The puppet peered in and gasped.

There she was.

"Shelly?"

Shelly noticed him and also gasped. "Slappy!" she exclaimed excitedly.

And Shelly was not alone.

Besides some other guards, there was a blue ghost. The ghost floated next to the Lubriem.

And her name was Lean Share.
