I felt like I was in the spotlight.

People were watching, people were staring, people were waiting.

Waiting, for me to begin my performants. I was terrified; never did I ever like to be in the spotlight. I felt my arms move on their own. Then, my eyes snapped opened. I wasn't in the old pizzeria anymore. I was in a shiny room with colorful decorations and presents, with people gathered around getting prizes.

Well... they weren't kidding on a new pizzeria. This place is newer than new!

I tried to look to the right of me but, I had no control over my body. I tried everything! I tried walking;

Nope.

I tried waving my hand;

That's not working.

But when I tried talking, I did speak! But not the way I wanted,

"Oh Puppet! Guess what time it is! It's... Present time!!!" I shouted in a voice you would use with a child. Afterward, I heard a music box play. I immediately recognized that tune; it was Puppet's Jack-in-the-box tune!

"Boys and girls, meet...! Puppet!" I said while posing towards the box. Puppet rose up from the box, holding a gift box. He gave the gift to a little boy or... err... girl in a striped shirt and retreats back in the box.

Seriously, is that a boy or girl?

I shifted back to my normal standing position, with a few movements like blinking, moving my arms and moving my torsos. None of the movements were mine. I didn't even intent to move those ways. All I am trying was to walk to the exit. I wanted to talk to puppet so badly, just to ask him what's going on. Finally, I screamed in my head,

"...Puppet! What's going on...!!!?" I felt like I was going to cry and you know what, I did cry. On the outside. How did I know? The employee behind the counter, looked at me with a weird look.

"Huh, already you're broken?" He said, "Alright, sorry folks! But Amber is done for the day." He walked over to me and I felt a panel open on my back. Next thing I knew, everything when black. Although, I still could feel my body. Unlike before.

I felt him push me somewhere and then I heard a door close.

Where am I now?

I tried to move my hand to a fist position. It worked! It actually worked! I couldn't believe it! I tried to move my arms. They moved! I opened my eyes slowly for the big reveal of the new surroundings. The "big reveal" wasn't what I wanted it to be. I thought I was in the backstage but, I was in...

I'm in the backroom!? I'm in the backroom again!?

I quickly started to panic but soon realized,

"Wait a minute; I have no need to worry. Vincent can't hurt me anymore." I soon then realized that, I wasn't talking in my normal voice. "Oh... Oh my god..." I gasped amazement, "I... I just... I don't believe this..." I grinned like a child on Christmas morning. I looked at my hands; very furry paws. I looked at my chest; brown, furry with a lighter colored tuff. I felt my head and turned around; I had radar ears and a big fluffy tail. I took a deep breath in,

"I'm an animatronic."
