Location: Playcare - Playtime Co.

Time: 12:30 PM

No POV

After such a restful nap, DogDay gently shook Y/n awake while he is currently sleeping in Bobby Bearhug's arms as it's about time for lunch at Playcare.

DogDay: Angel~ Time to wake up~ Wake up, little Angel.~

Y/n: (Slowly Waking Up and Yawns) Man that was a good nap. Oh, hey, DogDay. How long was I out?

DogDay: About 3 hours, I had to wake you up because it's about time for lunch. I would let you sleep longer because you look so peaceful sleeping in Bobby Bearhug's arms, but I don't want you to have too much sleep today, Angel.

Y/n: Oh good, I'm hungry. You wouldn't believe the dream I had just then. It was both fun and crazy. I got to meet up with all of your friend in my dream including CatNap.

Bobby Bearhug: (Giggles) He's such a cutie-pie, DogDay.~

Y/n: Oh, you're Bobby Bearhug, right?

Bobby Bearhug: Of course I am, Sweetheart. You looked so cute sleeping in DogDay's arms.

Y/n: (Blushes) Uh...thank you...

Bobby Bearhug: (Thinking while Giggling) So cute~ He's such a cute little bear. I should make a onesie to make him look like he's my little bear cub. If anyone tries to lay a finger on my little cub, I will claw out their eyes out and break their necks in half!

DogDay: Well, I think we better take Y/n to the lunchroom. I bet your hungry after a 3-hour nap, huh?

Y/n: You bet.

Bobby Bearhug: Ok, but I'm carrying you over there.

Y/n: Bobby. I can walk over there myself.

Bobby Bearhug: I know, but you need someone to watch over you until it's time for you to learn with Bubba Bubbaphant after he got selected as your homeschool teacher.

DogDay: You sure you wanna do that, Bobby?

Bobby Bearhug: Of course, I do, DogDay! This boy is such a precious thing, and he needs someone to watch over him and I'm not letting those bullies harm my little cub.

Y/n: Say what now?

Bobby Bearhug: (Blushes) Sorry, I can get a little carried away.

DogDay: Alright, Bobby, but let's not get too carried away. We are hired to watch over Y/n for CatNap until bedtime, so let's take him to lunch so he can let Bubba teach Y/n some lesson as his homeschool teacher.

Bobby Bearhug: Okie-Dokie then.

So then, the two Smiling Critters, DogDay and Bobby Bearhug took Y/n to the lunchroom to go eat some lunch that is being prepared by another Smiling Critter named Picky Piggy as she is surprised to see her two friends and saw Y/n being carried by Bobby Bearhug like a mother holding her beloved child in her arms.

Picky Piggy: Hey guys. Who's this little nugget?

DogDay: This is Y/n. We're in charge of taking good care of him today until bedtime.

Bobby Bearhug: Yep. We're here to get Y/n some lunch here. Say hello to Picky Piggy, Y/n.

Y/n: Hello, Picky Piggy. Nice to meet you.

Picky Piggy: Aw~ Aren't you precious. I think you deserves a special treat today. Just let me prepare your meal and give you the special treat after you finish your lunch, okay?

Y/n: Sure thing.

Then with that, Picky Piggy got to work on making Y/n's lunch as Bobby Bearhug and DogDay sat a lunch table that is away from the other kids as the two Smiling Critters glared at the children that tried to make eye contact with Y/n. Eventually as soon as Picky Piggy made Y/n some F/f (It can be whatever you like to eat) and Y/n was about to grab the utensils until Bobby Bearhug stopped him and decided to feed him. Much to Y/n's dismay that he can do it himself, but Bobby insists on feeding him like a mother feeds her own child.

Y/n: Bobby! 

Bobby Bearhug: What? 

Y/n: I can feed myself, Bobby. I'm not a baby!

Bobby Bearhug: Sorry about that, but it's just so cute feeding you like that. I can't help it.

Y/n: But I can eat by myself, so there's no need for you to feed me like I'm your child.

DogDay: Angel~ You better behave and let Bobby do her thing or you won't get any desert after lunch.

Y/n: (Sighs) Fine.

Bobby Bearhug: (Giggles) You're so cute when you're grumpy like that, Y/n. Open wide~

Y/n then did what Bobby told him to do and this went on until Y/n's lunch tray is empty as Bobby wiped his face with a napkin before Picky Piggy brought over Y/n's desert which is a delicious cupcake that Picky Piggy bake especially for him.

Picky Piggy: Well, I hope you enjoyed your lunch, Y/n. Because I made you this special cupcake just for you.

Y/n: Oh! Thanks, Picky Piggy.

Picky Piggy: Anytime kiddo.

Bobby: And since you're such a good boy, you can eat that cupcake by yourself.

Y/n: Ok. 

Then Y/n joyful ate his special cupcake and did his best to not make a mess, which the three Smiling Critters find it cute and adorable to see Y/n eat his sweet treat until he ate the whole thing then Bobby couldn't help but wipe his face off with a napkin to get the icing off his face.

Bobby: (Chuckles Nervously) Sorry...force of habit.

Y/n: It's fine, Bobby.

DogDay: Well then, I think it's time we get you to see Bubba for your school lessons. It's best to learn from the smartest Critter in the group.

Y/n: Ok.

Then they took to see Bubba Bubbaphant already prepared to teach Y/n as his own personal homeschool teacher as they begin with Math problems.

Bubba: Ok, Y/n. If DogDay gives me 5 apples and I ate 2 apples, how many apples will I have left?

Y/n: Easy. You will have 3 apples left to eat.

Bubba: Good job, Angel. Next question: What's 9 + 10?

Y/n: 19.

Bubba: Good job.

Then as Bubba keep asking Y/n some more math questions, he gave him one last math problem before they move on to the rest of the school subjects.

Bubba: Alright, Y/n. Final question: 

The equation 24x2+25x−47ax−2=−8x−3−53ax−2 is true for all values of x≠2a, where a is a constant.

What is the value of a?

A) -16

B) -3

C) 3

D) 16

Y/n: B: -3

Bubba: Correct! I'm so proud of you, Angel! I can't believe you answered every question correct, and it's your first day with me as your homeschool teacher. Shall we move on to the next subject, Y/n?

Y/n: Sure thing, Mr. Bubbaphant.

Bubba: Angel, you don't have to call me that. Bubba is fine with me.

Y/n: Ok then. Let's do it!

Bubba: Excellent! Let's move on to English.

And so, Bubba and Y/n studied many other subjects before Bubba decided to end their session and move on with CraftyCorn as the two of them started painting their own masterpieces in the Art Room by themselves.

CraftyCorn: Wow. Your painting looks amazing, Y/n. It's truly your best work yet, even though it's your first time doing this.

Y/n: I know, but your masterpiece is way better than mine. You're a true artist, Aunt Crafty.

CraftyCorn: (Giggles) You're such a sweetheart, Angel~ I appreciate you call me a true artist, let alone calling me your own aunt, which I don't mind at all.

Y/n: Now then, shall we continue on with the next canvas?

CraftyCorn: Sure thing. 

Then as time went on, Y/n and the Smiling Critters are having a great time together before it's nearly close to bedtime as we see CatNap returning to the crew after putting all the kids to sleep. 

DogDay: You put all the kids to bed, CatNap.

CatNap: (Nods in agreement)

Y/n: Ok, guess I'll go to bed as well.

Y/n then turned to go sleep with the other kids, only to be stopped by Bobby Bearhug as she scooped him up to cradle him in her arms.

Y/n: Huh? Bobby, what are you doing?

Bobby: Sorry about that Angel, but you're not sleeping with the kids anymore. You're sleeping with us for now on.

Y/n: Why?

KickinChicken: Simple. Me and Hoppy had to convince the other co-workers to let us have you stay in our dorm rooms for the time being until you get adopted. It was a bit hard to convince him until the janitor helped us out.

Hoppy: Yeah, and now you get to spend time with us in our rooms while the others take care of the kids.

DogDay: Yeah, and we planned to have a sleepover together to celebrate.

Y/n: Wow. A sleepover. I've never been in a sleepover before.

DogDay: Well, looks like today's the day to have your very first sleepover with us, Angel~

Hoppy: Then what are we waiting for. Let's get the party started for our new roomie!

Then as the Smiling Critters make their way into DogDay's dorm room, they all started to get ready for the slumber party as Bobby Bearhug planned to put Y/n in her homemade onesie of herself for Y/n to sleep in.

Y/n: Hey, Bobby?

Bobby: Yes, sweetie? 

Y/n: I know this is hard to ask, but ever since you were so nice to me today, is it okay if I called you....mom?

That actually made Bobby Bearhug's heart burst with motherly joy as she gently picked up Y/n and hugged him while kissing him on the forehead as he never felt Bobby like this before in his life as he can already smell the lovely scent of roses coming out of her as she agreed to let Y/n call her "Mom" that made her feel all warm and toasty inside.

Bobby: Of course you can call me, Mom, Angel. I will love you to the moon and back and I promise that I will not let anyone harm you on my watch. After all, you did call CraftyCorn your aunt and I think it's swell that you see us as your own family.

DogDay: Well, if you're gonna call her mom for now until you get adopted, Angel. Who am I gonna be in your family?

Y/n: Oh, well. I actually see you as an older bother to me.

KickinChicken: What about me and Hoppy?

Y/n: I see you and Hoppy as siblings as well. You're pretty much a cooler older brother and so does Hoppy.

KickinChicken: I knew it!

Hoppy: Well then. I guess I should become the better sibling than you, Kickin.

KickinChicken: Not if I beat you to the punch, Hoppy!

Hoppy: Oh, it's on, bird boy!

KickinChicken: Bring it on, carrot head!

Bubba: Guys, please. Angel~ Who do you see as?

Y/n: Well, you taught me so well during my homeschool session with you as my teacher, I see you like a dad to me.

Bubba: Well then, I will become the best dad I'll ever be, Angel. You won't regret it.

Picky Piggy: What about me? Who am I in your family?

Y/n: Well, you're like another aunt to me since you make good food while CraftyCorn is a talented artist.

Picky Piggy: Well, I'm happy to make whatever you like to eat, little nugget. I am always proud of making food for me and my friends.

Y/n then felt CatNap tap his shoulder with his tail as he is the last one in the group to know who Y/n sees CatNap as part of the family and Y/n knows the answer that CatNap would greatly accept from the young boy.

Y/n: Oh, I didn't forget about you, CatNap. I guess you can be....my big brother?

That actually made CatNap's pupils dilate as he grabbed Y/n and gave him a hug while rubbing his head on top of Y/n's head as he purred loudly in a very loving manner while meowing a lot that Y/n sees him as older brother to him.

DogDay: (Thinking) Wow! I'd never seen CatNap act so loving towards Y/n like that before. That actually made my toy heart smile at the sight of that.

Bobby Bearhug: (Thinking) Look at that. My baby boy just made CatNap so happy after seeing him as his own big brother to him. That just made me love our angel even more. I will keep my promise to be his mother if it's the last thing I'll do.

KickinChicken: (Thinking) Man, guess CatNap beat me in being Y/n's best brother, but at least I'm still considered the cool brother in this family. If CatNap is cool with being his older brother, then so am I.

Hoppy: (Thinking) Well, if CatNap is okay with being his older brother and the better sibling than me or KickinChicken, then I guess I can still be the best sister to our little shortie.

Picky Piggy: (Thinking) Wowie. I'd never seen CatNap this happy, it's like getting a delicious cake for his birthday. I can already see the many birthdays we can have with my little nephew.

CraftyCorn: (Thinking) OMG!! This is such a beautiful moment between him and Y/n. I could draw that moment to remember it for a long time and I got the artistic skills to make it happen.

Bubba Bubbaphant (Thinking) Wow. I'd never thought I would see my little star pupil and CatNap love each other as brothers like that. It makes my heart smile to see such brotherly love. I made a promise that I will be the best dad to my baby boy, and I will not let him down on my watch. I'd never thought that he'd be the best out of all of the kids in Playcare, but after meeting and spending time with him for the first time....I can't help but say...

The Smiling Critters: (All Together in thoughts) I love that kid....

It looks like Y/n just got himself a family of Smiling Critters as they all love him very much (In a platonic way), so much that they are willing to do whatever they can to let Y/n stay with them forever and get rid of anyone that dare try to take their little angel away from them.

Even if they have to turn Y/n into a Smiling Critter like them to make it happen as Y/n is about to have the best sleepover of his entire life...

Or in this case...

His last one....

Cause tonight when Y/n goes back into the Dream Realm, it will soon become a "Never-Ending Nightmare" when things take a dark turn in Y/n's life now that the Smiling Critters have accepted him as part of their family.
