Instead of bringing Lisa or She for show n tell, I brought the doll that Huggy gave me! All of my classmates were really interested in where I got it from. I told them my friend Huggy gave me it! Monty wanted to study my Huggy doll, but I kept it so I could play dolls with Carla and Penny! Ms. Applegate said she had something from the same toy company when she was a little girl. The toy she had was a red dinosaur toy named Bron! I wonder if she still has it? Maybe I can take it back to Huggy and cat bee… maybe I should ask. Another thing, Penny’s Auntie, the nice lunch lady, said she still has the pink Huggy Wuggy from when she was our age. A pink Huggy? There’s a pink Huggy?! Is that supposed to be Huggy’s girlfriend?! Or maybe his sissy?! I didn’t know that! That’s so cool!
Turns out a lot of the teachers here have toys from Huggy’s Factory. Even the super old Janitor had a toy from there! Huggy and his friends must be SUPER old! I wonder how old?
I spent most of the school day telling my friends my adventures at the factory, Penny says she wants to go! Maybe I can take her! I think Huggy and Cat Bee would like her. I’ll have to ask them! I hope they say yes!
Today I got lost in Huggy’s factory and I came across this door with a big pretty painting of a flower behind it! But Huggy, Lisa and She found me before I could go in. It was locked anyways… I asked Huggy if we could help the people hanging off of the ropes down. Lisa and She told me not to be bothered by it, that they are sleeping and we should leave them alone. I remember Lisa’s daddy sleeping by our sandbox and I don’t want to be rude… so I guess I’ll just leave them until they wake up. I hope they wake up soon.
I asked Huggy if we could go into the big flower door together, but he immediately picked me up and carried me away from it. When Lisa got worried, she tried to get him to put me down, he did and looked at me… I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a frown on his face. He looked at me, then pointed to the flower door, looked back to me and shook his head. Because he can’t talk, I guess that means that there’s a new rule. “Stay away from the flower door…”
Lisa is curious and suspicious as well. But She convinced both of us to listen to Huggy and his warning is probably for a good reason.
After that, we decided to play tag instead of hide n go seek so I don’t get lost again. I know that huggy probably knows what he’s talking about… but I can’t help but wonder…
“Sissy! I made a new friend!”
“Oh Really?! What’s their name?”
“Huggy Wuggy!”
“… Huggy… Wuggy?”
“Yeah!”
“… um… are they a friend like Lisa and She? Or like that toilet guy at your school?”
“What do you mean?”
“Um… never mind… where does… Huggy Wuggy… live?”
“Playtime Factory!”
*Chokes on coffee and spits some out* “That boarded up factory!? What were you doing over there?!”
“Cindy and Felix dared me to do it.”
*facepalms* 🤦♀️ “Lelu, you are banned from taking anymore dares from your classmates…”😒
“Aw… okay…”
“Also, don’t-… wait… where did you get that doll? You haven’t been taking things from strangers have you?”
“No, Huggy gave me this! It’s a mini him!”
“T-that’s Huggy?”
*Nods* “Mph!”
“…”
“Even though I’m not allowed to play truth or dare with Cindy again… can I still see Huggy?”
“… Lisa and She were with you the first time you went in right?”
*nods* “Mph!”
“Are they in the room right now?”
*Points to the corner* “They’re right there.”
*Looks to corner* “If she ever goes back there… she does not leave either of your sights…”
