The tour group's enthusiastic clapping rang in Y/N's ears as she slowly backed away from Drooper, pulling a scared Stevie with her ... who really needed no pulling! Paige then continued speaking. 

"If everybody could please get into a line, I'll make sure you all get photos with ... the ... Splits ..."

Paige's trailed off as the giddy Thadd and Poppy rushed past her towards the four animatronics before them. Y/N rolled her eyes a little. She was a fan herself, but some people took fandom to an almost religious level!

Drooper's hands quickly relaxed and the red glow in his eyes disappeared as the young couple raced up to him and his comrades. Smart robot. HE'S not going to cause chaos ... not yet anyway. Fleegle would no doubt beat the hell out of him if he gave the game away too soon! 

Paige quickly got out her camera as Thadd posed with Snorky and Poppy posed with Drooper. Y/N saw Jonathan walking quickly up to Paige, and sighed. The man's got to start acting more like a father and less like an acting agent! 

She then turned her gaze to Harley, who bounced up and down, looking very impatient, obviously wanting Thadd and Poppy to hurry up with their photos. 

Austin then turned and instantly locked gazes with Y/N. He smiled at her, swiftly nudging Harley and Zoe and pointing. The two kids turned and smiled at Y/N. Harley waved happily at Y/N, who promptly waved back. 

"Excuse me, miss," Jonathan, being very unhelpful as usual, interrupted Paige just as she was about to take the young couple's photos. 

"One moment, sir", Paige said in a bored tone, not looking at him. 

"Jonathan, please! Call me Jonathan!", replied Parker's father cheerfully, obviously trying a charm offensive. It didn't seem to work on Paige though. 

"Jonathan, you're next. Just wait your turn." Paige took a picture of Thadd and Poppy, who then took new poses. 

"Yess." Jonathan laughed an awkward laugh as Paige went back to her photography. "Excuse me ... miss." Paige sighed, taking the last photo and then putting down her camera.

"Go to our website, download the photos", she said to the jubilant Thadd and Poppy. Paige then turned to Jonathan. 

"What do you want?" she said, now looking very frustrated but still making an effort to be polite. 

"I REALLY need to see the producer!" Jonathan pleaded, still trying to charm Paige. Y/N rolled her eyes again and turned away to see Thadd and Poppy almost in each other's arms. Awww. Y/N smiled.

Thadd held Poppy's face gently in his hands, and then suddenly paused. 

"What's on your cheek?" Poppy frowned and touched her right cheek, as Thadd touched it too. 

"I'm not sure, must have rubbed off Drooper." Thadd shrugged. 

"Maybe it's water?" he said. The couple took licks of their fingers, only to gag and grimace in disgust. 

"Oh yuck, that's not water!" Poppy said, shuddering. Her boyfriend was very much the same. 

"Sure isn't, tastes like some kind of alcohol?" Y/N frowned. 

What? That wasn't in the mov-Oh right! Because I saved Stevie, the blood that was previously on Drooper never existed! But the alcohol stains would remain, which I don't think Drooper likes at all! 

Meanwhile, Poppy was shaking her head, looking perplexed.

 "I don't understand, who on earth would put alcohol on Drooper in the first place?" Y/N laughed loudly at Poppy's statement. 

"You'd have to be a total idiot to do so!" She could almost feel the heat of Stevie's smoldering glare boring into her head. 

Y/N's laugh instantly drew the attention of the rest of the adults, who for the first time, realized that Y/N and Stevie were there. Pausing her monumental argument with Jonathan, Paige turned around, and stared. 

"You!" She walked briskly up to Y/N and Stevie, her gaze firmly on Y/N. 

"Where the hell have you been?! You missed the whole show! I asked Doug to search the studio for you, you rapscallion!" Y/N winced. 

"I'm sorry, I got lost. This place is so big." The studio building WAS big, true, so she hoped that it would convince Paige.

Paige just sighed.

"Yeah, whatever." She then turned her gaze to Stevie. 

"And you! You were supposed to be standing beside THEM for the photo part of the tour!" She gestured over to the motionless animatronics. Stevie gulped and nodded weakly, giving a fragile smile to Paige. Paige frowned. 

"Stevie, are you okay? You look white as a sheet! What's wrong?"

Stevie opened his mouth ...

Stevie, don't open your mouth like that! Every time you do, you mess up, lol!
