After finishing their worksheets, they began to look around Playcare; Finding old playground slides, swings, a Merry Go Round, monkey bars and some old toys scattered on the ground, jumprope, chalk and it like everything was dropped and people disappeared.
"Wonder what happened. . . An evacuation?"
"Who knows. . . But it looks like someone unleashed a lion or elephant; Seeing the work."
A cloud had crashed from above, one of the Similing Critters Statue fell from the centre and overall: Damage.
Mya hung from the Monkey Bars with Maritza,"It's kind of sad, this place must have been so cool and fun.", Nicky nods,"Yeah, I vaguely remember it. . . But I remember how bright it use to be, and loud; Other kids running around.", Delory walked over from the spring horse,"Sounds like you had a decent experience with places like this; Dad choose one Daycare place for me and I had nightmares for weeks, don't remember what it was but: Mom never let him take advice from that guy again.", Finch whistled low,"Yikes. . .", "Yeah. . .", "Hey; They're back. With. . .", from the Monkey Bars, Mr Roth, Mr Peterson, Mr Murtaugh and her dad were back, but with two new people and. . . Huggy but pink?

"You're back- Who-"
Stella raised her hands, her gun strapped to her back as her partner held his, on high alert,"We mean no harm; We're here to help, I know we don't look look trustworthy.", she turned to the one in red,"You can take it off, it doesn't really matter with no gas.", he sighed, putting his gun down to take the mask and goggles off.
He was much older than Stella, hair greyed and white, his beard looking rough, barely looked to sleep like Stella and much her: Looking dirty.
"Rich. Rich Lovitz."
He picked up the gun again, Stella counted the adults from Jay, Mr Peterson, Miguel, two teachers and-
She froze.
Children.
"Dad, who are they?"
Aaron walked over with the group, taking the lead,"Why are they wearing. . . Haz-Suits?", Mr Peterson scratched his neck,"We met them while looking around, said they could help us.", Maritza pointed to the pink Huggy, who stood off to the side, holding their arm and. . . Looked very out of place.
"Who's this?"
Stella looked at Kissy,"Uhm. . . Kissy Missy; Huggy Wuggy's female counterpart, sister.", the kids looked at her, much like The Pugapiller; Scratched, bit and looked to have been attacked by a dog.
"Hi, Kissy."
Mya waved at her, all smiles in hopes to make her feel better and Kissy, gave a small wave.
Nicky looked at the two in the suits,"Wait. . . I know you: You're Stella and you're. . .", Stella and Rich then realised Nicky was here, he was taller, older but. . . Looked happier than he did years ago.
"Nicky. . . My goodness. . ."
"You two were close with Uncle Jimmy."
. . .
Stella nods, looking at Jay,"We were. . . We only met your dad briefly, but. . . Uhm. . . Can I ask who accepted the tour??", Mr Murtaugh looked at Valeria,"We had received an email from Leith. P, offering a tour of the factory for education purposes.", Rich growled,"When I get my hands on him. . .", "Rich please. . .", Miguel leaned against the stairs of Home Sweet Home,"So, can you two explain what's happened here, why you're holding guns and. . . How the heck the mascot is??", Stella gulped, looking uneasy or sick. . . Jay got the hint she didn't want to say it front of the kids, he cleared his throat,"Uh, kids? How about you guys go play while we talk with them first to understand the situation.", and that was the hint something was very wrong, looking at each other they nod,"Okay. . . Uh. . . Can we play with Kissy?", Rich and Stella looked at Kissy, silence as Kissy looked up.
. . .
"Okay. . . Just be careful. . ."
Kissy nods, though she knew that meant she was one the fence and better not hurt the kids, but Kissy would never dream of hurting any children.
Maritza and Mya offered their hands to Kissy, leading her to the playground so they could play with her.
Nicky looked back at his dad, concerned but his dad offered a smile,"It's okay, Narf; It will be a quick chat.", Nicky looked at Rich and Stella, he vaguely remembered how Stella use to be so bright but now, it was like something sucked the life out of her.
. . .
"Okay dad. . ."
And Nicky followed, Trinity took his hand asking concerned.
