An explosion shook a frail building, rattling the shutters. An old man sat inside the room, jolting softly as another explosion sounded, making him clutch a small doll he had been working on a bit tightly. He glanced to the window before sighing softly, turning back to his desk and reaching towards a golden, semi-circular device, tying the doll to it by its wrists. A small object was set into the front of the device, the man pressing a few buttons on it and setting up a mask-like device attached to the desk. He placed his face against it, flinching as three green beams shot through the mask into him, illuminating the room.
The doll just hung there as the beams entered it. When the glow died down it still hung there, seemingly lifeless.
The man swayed a little, holding his head in his hands," I don't believe I'll get used to that..." he murmured before looking to the doll. He smiled a little, untying its wrists before laying it softly on the desk.
There was a click sound as it blinked and saw the world for the first time. It looked around before looking up at the man and completely panicked. He struggled in his hands trying to get away.
He struggled a little to hold him still," 1, please! You'll hurt youself!"
He continued to fight until he loosened the mans grip a bit and fell to the floor. Landing with a small thud it knocked the wind out of him.
The man sighed softly, kneeling down and scooping him up before setting him gently on the desk.
He sat there catching his breath for a moment before glaring up at the man.
He laughed softly," Now now, don't be mad at me. I told you not to struggle."
He stood up a bit shaking, trying to get used to all this.
He held his hand up a little, willing to help him learn to walk.
1 pushed his hand away, refusing help.
He smiled softly," Alright." he said before picking up a few supplies along with a small robotic skeleton, working on it.
He looked a bit suspiciously at the skeleton before gripping some things laying on the desk as he tried to walk.
After a few adjustments, he set the skeleton down before grabbing bits and pieces of fabric, beginning to sew.
There was a thud as 1 tipped on something he didn't see.
The man looked over and laughed a little," 1 are you alright?"
He quickly stood and dusted himself up, acting like he did nothing.
He reached over, patting 1's head softly with one finger.
He glared and swat his hand away.
He pulled his hand away," You know it's alright to accept help when you need it, 1."
1 just shook his head and went to sit at the end of the desk away from him.
After nearly an hour of working, the man finished building another small doll, this one looking a bit more refined than the first. He attached the doll just as he had with 1, setting up the device.
1 peered over some books, watching what he was doing.
The green glow flared up once more, flickering and illuminating the room. The man tensed up, relaxing as it finished. He reached up weakly, untying the doll, holding it.
1 stayed in his spot, unsure of what just happened.
The doll shifted slightly before sitting up, holding its head. It looked up to the man and smiled very softly, his eyes filled with concern for the human, noting just how drained he looked.
His eyes widened as he saw it move.
The man smiled, setting the doll down gently," Welcome to the world 2. Make yourself at home. I need rest." he said softly before getting up and walking to his rickety old bed, laying down and falling asleep quickly. The doll, 2, smiled as he watched him before glancing around at the things on the desk. He picked up a few of the items with a bit of trouble, carrying them to their proper destinations.
1 watched him from a distance, unsure of this newcomer.
He smiled a little, making sure everything was in place before sitting down, his back to 1.
From there 1 saw the 2 on his back. Getting a bit of courage he walked up to him.
"Ahem." 1 said to make his presence known.
2 jolted up, stumbling a bit before falling over and smacking his face on the desk.
1 rolled his eyes watching him.
He sat up, shaking his head a little before looking back to 1. He smiled broadly," Why, hello! I didn't think there was another."
"I didn't think he was going to make another." He seemed a bit mad at the fact.
" Why... If you were made before me... You must be the first! The original creation!"
1 just nodded.
He smiled brightly," The perfect imperfection!"
He glared at him "Excuse me!?"
He jumped a little before smiling," W-w-what I meant was, since you're the first, you must have the most flaws!"
1 glared at him and walked off.
2 watched him before smiling cheerfully, walking after him.
He sat down on a book, watching out the window that was open slightly.
He walked over and sat down next to him, looking out," What's going on out there?"
"From what I can tell. A war."
" A war? Tsk tsk..." he shook his head," Nothing good ever comes of those."
The house shook a bit with a explosion in the distance.
The shake from the explosion made 2 slide off the book, hitting the desk with a thud.
1 just flinched but tried not to show fear.
2 laughed a little, sitting up and rubbing his head.
He sighed and offered him his hand to help him up.
He smiled, taking his hand and standing up, though he didn't let go. He ran his fingers across 1's palm, looking at his fingers.
1 let him look, figuring he would let go soon.
2, after examining his hand, grabbed his arm, pulling him a little so he could examine the other features he had.
He sighed, getting a bit aggravated now.
He looked him over a bit more before smiling," Why, you aren't as flawed as I thought you would be. You're rather well built!"
1 yanked his arm back and walked off, 2 starting to annoy him.
2 walked after him," Your mechanics are fastinating. A rather scientific triumph!"
He glared as he walked further away, getting more and more annoyed.
He continued after him, not seeming to notice 1's annoyance.
He went over to some fabric and laid down on it to sleep for the night.
2 stood a little bit away from him, watching him.
He turned his back on 2, hoping he would go away.
He watched him for a few more moments before walking away to the other side of the desk.
It wasn't long before 1 fell asleep.
2 shivered in his spot, the room growing cold as the night progressed. He stood, hurrying quietly over to where 1 was sleeping and curled up against him, falling fast asleep.
The next morning 1 jolted awake with another bombing somewhere.
2 curled tighter, pressing against 1 in his sleep.
1 glared and pushed 2 off the fabric and more importantly away from him.
2 flopped off, hitting the desk a bit hard. He groaned, waking up.
He got up and headed off before 2 could see where he was going.
2 looked around, getting up," 1? Where'd you go?"
1 ignored him and hid amongst some objects on the desk.
He walked around on the desk, searching for him. He let out a slight noise of suprise when he was scooped up gently into the man's hands, who smiled down at him," good morning to you, friend." he said. 2 smiled up at him," And a good morning to you too.". The man laughed a little," Already learned to talk?". " Oh yes. It was rather easy." 2 said before glancing around," Though I can't seem to find 1 anywhere."
1 was behind some books, hoping no one would find him.
The man looked around before seeing 1 and smiling, setting 2 near him. 2 looked around and spotted him, smiling," There you are!"
1 glared at the man for doing this.
2 hurried over, smiling a little," good morning!"
"Whats so good about it?"
" Well, for one you woke up today and didn't pass away in your sleep. And the sun's out as well!"
1 just rolled his eyes and walked off.
2 hurried after him, smiling and walking next to him.
"Stop following me!"
" Why?" he asked curiously.
"Because its annoying!"
" What's annoying?"
"You following me!"
He smiled brightly," why?"
"I swear if you do not stop I will push you off this thing!"
" Oh? You will, will you?"
"Yes now leave me alone!" He stormed off.
He laughed," I doubt you would ever push me off! Someone with a ponytail couldn't shove someone."
You could almost HEAR 1 snap. He went over and shoved him off the desk.
2 let out a slight cry of suprise as he fell, thankfully landing on a pile of cloth on the floor.
1 just stormed off, thinking he was FINALLY rid of 2.
Geri scooped 2 up and set him down on the desk. 2 ran after 1, shoving him a little when he caught up to him, although he was rather weak," You pushed me!"
"I warned you! I'll do it again if you don't leave me alone!"
" You're just a grumpy old jerk!"
1 ignored him. One more time and he WOULD do it again.
" You're just mad because you're built poorly and wouldn't last a day off this desk!"
1 shoved him off again.
2 hit the ground with a slight thud. He stood up, holding his arm a little and glaring up to the desk before walking away from it.
1 went to the farthest corner and sat down. From his spot he could see the reddish smokey sky outside as the war raged on.
The man looked around, wondering just where 2 had gone to.
1 wondered what on earth was going on out there.
The man gasped, grabbing 2 just before he walked out of the room itself," 2! You can't go out there!" " Well it's better than staying here with that bundle of anger!"
1 glared back at him.
The man looked to 1 and sighed before setting 2 down gently. He picked 1 up gently before setting him inside a little glass jar," Now you stay in there until you think about what you've done."
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
He shook his head," No. Not until you're actually sorry about pushing 2 off." he said before taking a seat, beginning to work on a few things.
"I'll never be sorry!"
" Then you'll just have to stay in there forever."
He glared at him before sitting down, with his back facing him.
A little knock came to the jar.
1 glared forward and ignored it.
" You're stuck in a jaaar~"
He tensed but still didn't acknowledge him.
" And you can't get ouuuut~" he joked, tapping still on the glass.
His fingers dug into his arms as he sat down to wait out however long he had to stay there.
~Later that night~
2 had curled up against the jar, fast asleep, tired from spending the day mocking 1.
A explosion shook the room. The jar 1 was in fell over jolting him awake.
2 jumped a bit from the clank from the jar, waking up.
1 took that opportunity to get out of the jar and off the desk. Wont last a day of the desk would he. He headed quickly for the stairs and out of this hell hole.
2 watched him, tilting his head a bit before hurrying after. He'd get killed out there alone!
1 made his way down the stairs and out of the house into the night.
2 stumbled a bit after him, but lost sight of him after a bit. He tensed up a little, glancing around the world nervously. Where was he?
There was a slight rumble in the ground as some giant machines appeared.
His optics grew wide as he watched the machines, backing up fearfully. Just what were those?!
Some started firing as humans appeared.
2 hurried away, trying to get out of the line of fire. A bullet shattered a nearby bottle, sending glass shards everywhere. A large shard jammed into the back of his leg, making him cry out in pain, falling over.
Something ran out and managed to pick 2 up, running from the battle.
2 leaned against whatever had him, wincing when his leg moved too much, making the glass press against the metal and wires in his leg.
Once they were a safe distance he set 2 down. "Are you alright?"
2 nodded softly, whimpering a bit as he tried to move his leg.
1 picked him up again to head back to the house.
2 clung to 1, burying his face slightly against him.
1 held him close, trying to comfort him a bit. He stopped at the stairs wondering how he was gonna get up them with 2.
2 looked up a little at 1, staring at him.
He sighed "Looks like we're spending the night down here."
He smiled a little," That's okay... It's only a night."
He set him down and made sure he was comfortable.
2 shifted a little, reaching to his leg and grabbing ahold of the glass.
"No leave it. You don't know what kind of damage it caused."
" But it might hurt more if I move in my sleep."
1 thought "Ok just stay here and don't touch it." He didn't want to leave 2 alone but it would be better to get that man to help them. He headed for the stairs.
2 watched him, tensing up a little. He didn't want to be alone out in this wide-open space.
He started climbing up them as fast as he could.
He watched him before freezing up, hearing footsteps. A young woman ran past him, holding a little girl's hand. The girl let go of her mother's hand, seeing 2, her eyes going wide," Dolly!" she cried happily before picking him up. 2 winced but tried to stay as still as possible, not wanting to alarm the girl and make her drop him. The woman ran back, grabbing her hand again," don't let go of mommy's hand like that!" she exclaimed before running off with her.
1 finally made it to the stop step. He ran to where the man was sleeping and climbed up on his bed.
The man was fast asleep, curled tight beneath his blanket.
"Wake up!" 1 kicked his face.
The man winced, opening his eyes a bit and looking to him," ... 1? What is it? How did you get out of that jar?"
"Never mind that follow me." He got back down off the bed.
He stood up, yawning a bit," Alright alright."
He headed to the stairs and slowly went down them.
He watched him for a few moments before picking 1 up, going downstairs.
"2 got hurt." He told him once he was set back down and went to where he left him. "He's gone!!!"
The man looked around in the rubble and dust before seeing the faint footprints of the woman and child," Perhaps someone picked him up."
"Well how do we find him?"
" Follow the prints, I suppose." he said before picking 1 up gently, setting him in his front shirt pocket and walking down the street, following the steps.
1 looked around as they walked, hiding when others passed by.
The mother and little girl were just outside of a building, the girl giggling as she played with 2, putting him in a little dress she'd found on a different doll. 2 was trying his hardest to not cry out in pain or move for that matter.
1 peered out trying to spot him.
Geri put a hand gently on 1's head to keep him in the pocket as he walked over. He smiled at the woman," Hello there. I believe your daughter has one of my devices.". The woman looked to him," What?" she asked before looking over to the little girl," You mean that doll?". He nodded," yes.". The woman smiled a little," Sweetheart, can you give this man his toy back?". The girl frowned," No!". She tensed up as 2 shifted in her hand," p... Please give me back to him.". She screamed, nearly dropping 2 before Geri grabbed him, hurrying away.
1 had his hands over where his ears would be, the scream was so loud!
Geri hurried back home, going upstairs.
He clung to the inside of the pocket, terrified of all the jolting.
Geri pulled 1 out of his pocket, setting him on the desk gently. He laid 2 down, pulling off the garmet the girl had dressed him in before looking at his wounded leg.
1 looked at the thing 2 was in and snickered a bit.
2 let out a cry of pain as Geri pulled the glass from his leg. He snipped off the fabric on his leg, pulling it down to examine the wires and piping. He smiled a little," You'll be fine, thankfully. You'll just limp a bit." he said before pulling the fabric back up, sewing it in place.
1 walked over and held his hand out to help 2 up.
2 looked up to 1, a bit suspicious, but he took his hand, standing up a bit wobbily.
"Oh and don't forget this." He held out the dress.
2 looked to it and his optics grew small," I-I-I was put in that without conscent! She forced it on me!"
"Sure you were." He smirked.
He frowned, smacking 1 hard," And to think I actually thought you were a nice person after you saved me like that!" he shouted before storming off to the other side of the desk.
1 glared and dropped the stupid thing before going to the other side.
2 sat down, his arms crossed a bit. He reached up, wiping a bit at his optics. To think he was foolish enough to believe that 1 had a nice side to him...
1 watched out the window at the war raging on.
Geri, figuring he was wide awake now, began to work more on the two new bodies he was creating, sewing the cloth on them.
1 looked back a moment before sneering and looking back forward. Why was he making more.
He set up the dolls one at a time, doing the method and laying them down gently. He stood up, a bit woozy, before walking to the bed and laying down.
In moments one of the bodies sat up.
The other sat up, glancing around a bit.
She looked over and jumped seeing the other.
He jumped as well, eyes a bit big.
She stared for a moment before reaching out to poke him.
He flinched at the poke, looking at the spot where she'd touched before poking her back.
She glared at him a bit.
He glared right back at her.
After a few moments she started laughing, discovering she couldn't speak.
He tried to laugh as well, finding that his voicebox wouldn't work either.
'Why wo-AHHH!' She jumped back when her eyes flickered.
His eyes widened a bit,' hey! You talked with your eyes!'
'So did you!'
' Really? Cool!!' he looked around,' where are we?'
'I dunno.' She got up a bit wobbly and started to look around.
He stood with her, glancing around,' are we alone?'
'I dunno.' They walked down the desk, in the direction 2 was though they didn't see him.
2 was flopped on his side, curled up a little but wide awake. He felt terrible about smacking poor 1!
'Woah!' The girl tripped over 2, not noticing him as she looked around.
2 jumped, looking to the girl," Huh?". 3 tilted his head,' Hey! We're not alone!'
4 quickly got off him 'Sorry I didn't see you!'
2 stared at her, tilting his head a bit," Are you trying to talk to me with that flickering?"
'Can't you talk like us?' She tilted her head.
He stared at her before smiling," The scientist must've made you with a seperate purpose for your voicebox. I can't understand a thing you 'say'."
'Awwww...' Her smile went away.
2 stood up, brushing himself off. He looked between the two and smiled," What a cute pair of twins."
'Twins?' She looked at the other.
2 smiled a little," take a look for yourself." he said, motioning to a little mirror Geri kept on his desk. The boy glanced over, walking to it.
The boy squinted a little into the mirror,' hey! My number is 3!'
'Mines 4!'
He smiled brightly,' Twin!'
4 smiled and hugged him.
3 hugged her back, smiling brightly at her.
'I wonder if there are more.'
3 glanced around,' I dunno!'
~The next morning~
1 was still asleep in his spot. Tired from the night before.
2 nudged him very gently," 1?"
He looked over his shoulder at 2 "What?"
" I wanted to say... I'm really sorry I slapped you last night. I've been teasing you for the past few days, and you tease me once and I slap you. That just isn't right. So I'm sorry."
1 sighed "Whatever just let me sleep." He turned back over.
" Oh, and one other thing. I put you in the dress while you were asleep." 2 said with a smile before getting up and walking off.
"Wa-" He looked down "I HATE YOU!" He took the stupid thing off and thew it out the window.
2 laughed happily," I know!" he called back to him.
It was then the twins noticed 1 was up. In a instant they were all over him, cataloging. 1 growled and pushed them away.
2 looked back and watched, laughing a little. He glanced over to Geri as he sat down at the desk, rubbing his temples a little.
4 went over to him and put her hand on his 'Are you ok?'
Geri looked down to her and smiled a little, petting her head with one finger," I'm alright, little one. Don't worry about me." he said. 3 followed close after 4, staring up at Geri.
She smiled a bit and went to go look at some books.
3 followed after her, smiling a little. Geri watched them before he started to work on yet another little skeleton.
1 saw the skeleton, joy another one...
2 walked over and sat down, watching Geri as he worked," I'm guessing this one will be called 5?". Geri looked down to him and smiled softly," Yes. I'm not sure at all how he will be. You're all such individuals.". 2 laughed softly," Well, I'm certain however he'll be, it'll be good."
There was a thud as the twins shut the book they just finished and started looking for another.
3 looked up, seeing a book high up on the shelf,' how about that?'
She nodded and they went to find a way up.
2 examined the skeleton Geri had set down as he sewed.
'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' The twins rode the book down which landed with a loud THUD.
Geri jolted, poking himself with the needle. He winced a little, pulling it out.
4 looked over and saw a bit of blood 'Whats that stuff coming out of him?'
3 tilted his head, his eyes flickering a little as he went through what they had catalogued together.
She walked over and grabbed his finger a bit, cataloging it.
Geri winced slightly, watching her.
She noticed the wince and was a bit more careful.
3 hurried over, his eyes flickering as he looked the finger over.
She jumped back as the blood moved down his finger. What was this stuff?
Geri pulled a little away from the twins, grabbing a nearby rag and cleaning the blood off before glancing around for a band-aid.
He wrapped his finger slightly in a band-aid, smiling," there."
He looked to them and laughed softly, holding his finger out to them.
' Well there's no more red stuff...'
'What was that anyway?'
' I dunno!'
They hurried off to find out from a book.
Geri watched them for a moment before going back to sewing.
The light from outside soon faded.
Geri finally finished making the new doll, setting it up. 3 glanced over,' what's he doing?'
'I dunno.' She walked over to watch.
He let the device flip up, putting his face to it. 3 jumped as the green lights shot from the little talisman.
Geri fell a bit limp after it, though he soon sat back up, untying the doll and holding it.
After a few minutes the doll in his hands sat up. He shook his head a bit and looked around.
Geri smiled, watching the little doll.
He looked up to Geri, watching him for a moment before smiling back.
" Well, aren't you going to jump from my hands?" he asked.
"Why would I?"
" Well, it's just that one of your predecessors did."
His head tilted, not knowing what that word meant.
He smiled, lowering his hands for him to get off.
He got off his hand but stood in his spot and looked around.
2 was just a ways away, rubbing a little at his sore leg.
5 noticed and walked over "Hello."
2 jolted a little, nearly flopping over. He looked back to 5 and smiled," why, hello! You must be 5."
"I am?"
" Well, if I'm 2. And over there is 1, and the twins 3 and 4, then you must be 5!"
He smiled a bit.
He stood up, taking his hand a little and looking it over," My, he built you with absolute care."
He smiled letting 2 look. From his spot 1 watched the two with a glare for a moment before going back to his spot where he couldn't see them.
2 ran his hands along 5's palm, grabbing his arm gently and pulling him to look at the 5.
He tried to look at the number himself.
He laughed, holding his hand and taking him over to the mirror.
He saw his number and smiled.
2 smiled with him.
The twins peeked out at him from some books.
2 noticed them and smiled, waving to them," come over!"
They hurried over, grabbing 5 and cataloging him.
3 laughed silently happily,' He's so neat lookin'!'
She smiled 'He is!' She poked one of his buttons.
3 did the same, grabbing onto one.
2 smiled, watching the two before walking a bit away, looking around.
As soon as the twins were done 5 looked around on his own.
2 noticed 1 and smiled a little, walking over to him," what're you doing?"
1 just grumbled and tried to ignore him.
He sat down next to him, smiling a bit," You okay?"
"Why would you care?" Annoyance clear in his tone.
" Because I always care."
"Well with your last two stunts I couldn't tell." He glared at him.
He laughed," Oh come now, I was only playing."
He looked back out the window, still clearly mad.
He smiled a little," Well, if you want to talk, I'm always here." he said, standing up and walking back to where 5 was.
He watched 2 go back to 5 and glared at them a little.
2 smiled up at 5," So how do you like it here?"
He smiled "Its nice. Who's that over there?" He pointed at 1.
He looked over," Oh, that's 1. I'd watch out for him. He has a bit of a temper."
'He's a poop head!' 4 popped up at the mention of 1's temper.
' yeah! A big mean poop head!' 3 nodded in agreement with his sister.
"Cant they talk?" 5 asked 2.
2 smiled a little," They're talking, just not in a way you can understand."
"Oh, that's pretty neat." He smiled.
He smiled back," I would like to find out just how they talk like that, but I'm unsure of how to do it without making the two uneasy."
"Maybe I could help you figure out how to."
" Really? You would want to help me?"
5 smiled and nodded.
He smiled back," Smashing, dear boy! Absolutely smashing!"
An explosion in the distance scared the crud outta 5. "W-What was that!?"
2 laughed a little," The humans. They're fighting outside... Against what, though I'm unsure."
5 shook a bit, scared of whatever that was.
2 reached up, rubbing 5's shoulder," Don't you worry. We're safe here."
He calmed a bit and smiled.
He smiled back," well, it's getting rather late. Why don't you rest?"
He nodded and went to find a spot to fall asleep.
He watched him for a moment before going back to his spot and laying down.
5 found a spot and curled up, watching out the window a bit wondering what was going on.
3 looked over to 5, nudging 4 a little,' should we go lay down with him?'
4 nodded and let out a silent yawn, she was getting tired.
3 took her hand, leading her over to 5.
5 jumped when the twins suddenly were snuggled up against him.
3 let out a little, silent yawn, hugging 5 a little,' night...'
'Nighty night.' 5 smiled and snuggled down with them.
2 watched them from his spot, smiling softly. He was happy the twins were helping the new addition get comfortable, but he missed them helping him.
1 walked past 2, looking for something that he could use as a blanket.
2 looked to 1, rolling over and watching him.
He looked around for something that would be warmer than a flimsy cloth he had.
2 stood up, walking over to him," What're you up to?"
"Looking for something to use as a blanket."
" Well, theres a bunch of clothing on the floor. Maybe one of those would work as a blanket."
He looked down "How am I supposed to get those up here?"
He looked around before smiling," You could use a little hook attached to some string and pull it up."
1 rolled his eyes "Like that would work."
2 hurried over to a spool of thread before grabbing a rather thin needle, bending it into a hook before tying the string through the loop. He went to the edge, lowering it down," What would you like?"
"Doesn't matter, it won't work."
He smiled," I'll get you that nice red shirt." he said, hooking the collar of it and pulling it up rather easily.
1 glared and snagged it away the second it was up there.
2 smiled at him, seeming like he was expecting a thank you or something.
1 just walked off back to his spot, not giving 2 a second glance.
2 watched him, feeling a bit hurt. Just because 1 thought he would be wrong, didn't mean he could be so rude about it. He sighed softly before going back to his spot and laying down, curling up tightly.
1 went to his spot and curled up, the wind blowing a bit making the room slightly colder.
2 shivered in his spot, hugging his arms a bit. It was so cold tonight!
From her spot 4 noticed and went over to 2 'Are you ok?'
2 looked up to her and smiled a little," What're you still doing up?"
She laid down next to him and snuggled close.
He smiled, petting her head a little. He laughed, seeing as 3 hurried over, pulling 5 with him.
Poor 5 looked half asleep "Wha? Where are we going?"
3 sat 5 down before going and laying on the other side of 2.
5 just fell asleep quickly, tried from his first day of life.
2 smiled at them all before cuddling down between them, falling asleep.
From his spot 1 glared at the group before turning over trying to ignore them.
3 glanced over, staring at 1.
1 kept his back to them.
3 reached over and nudged 4.
She looked over at him before looking at 1.
' do you think he might be cold too?'
'He has to be over there all alone!'
He nudged 2 to try and wake him up.
4 did the same.
2 yawned a little, looking to them," hm...?"
They pointed over at 1.
2 looked over and smiled a little," do you want to go keep him company?"
4 tugged his arm a bit, wanting him to come as well.
He sat up," alright, I'll go too.". 3 smiled before nudging 5.
5 just followed them, too tired to care where they were going now.
1 was already asleep and didn't notice the group.
3 crawled underneath the shirt before poking his head out, snuggling up against 1's back. 2 laughed a little at the sight.
4 crawled under it and snuggled up on the other side of 1.
2 let 5 over, laying him down next to 3. He climbed beneath the shirt, laying on the other side of 4, smiling a little. It was much warmer here.
4 smiled and shut her eyes to sleep.
3 let out a silent yawn before falling fast asleep.
That night was relatively silent, almost no explosions.
Geri was up rather early, walking to the desk. He spotted the bundle of sleeping stitchpunks, smiling a little at them before going to work on the next.
1 finally woke up and tried to sit up.
3 clung to him, snuggling up to him.
"What the hell!?" 1 just then noticed he was surrounded.
2 stirred a bit, waking up from 1's yell.
1 tried to pry the twins off of him.
2 looked over and laughed," having problems?"
"Get them off me NOW!"
He laughed a little, reaching over and shaking the twins a little to wake them up.
4 tightened her grip on 1 a bit before waking up.
3 let out a silent yawn, leaning his chin on 1 and looking to 2,' huh..?'
1 glared at them "Get off me NOW!"
3 jumped, immediately letting go of 1 and scurrying away.
4 did the same and hid behind her brother.
2 smiled at 1," Better?"
1 glared at him "What are you all doing over here!?"
The doll just hung there as the beams entered it. When the glow died down it still hung there, seemingly lifeless.
The man swayed a little, holding his head in his hands," I don't believe I'll get used to that..." he murmured before looking to the doll. He smiled a little, untying its wrists before laying it softly on the desk.
There was a click sound as it blinked and saw the world for the first time. It looked around before looking up at the man and completely panicked. He struggled in his hands trying to get away.
He struggled a little to hold him still," 1, please! You'll hurt youself!"
He continued to fight until he loosened the mans grip a bit and fell to the floor. Landing with a small thud it knocked the wind out of him.
The man sighed softly, kneeling down and scooping him up before setting him gently on the desk.
He sat there catching his breath for a moment before glaring up at the man.
He laughed softly," Now now, don't be mad at me. I told you not to struggle."
He stood up a bit shaking, trying to get used to all this.
He held his hand up a little, willing to help him learn to walk.
1 pushed his hand away, refusing help.
He smiled softly," Alright." he said before picking up a few supplies along with a small robotic skeleton, working on it.
He looked a bit suspiciously at the skeleton before gripping some things laying on the desk as he tried to walk.
After a few adjustments, he set the skeleton down before grabbing bits and pieces of fabric, beginning to sew.
There was a thud as 1 tipped on something he didn't see.
The man looked over and laughed a little," 1 are you alright?"
He quickly stood and dusted himself up, acting like he did nothing.
He reached over, patting 1's head softly with one finger.
He glared and swat his hand away.
He pulled his hand away," You know it's alright to accept help when you need it, 1."
1 just shook his head and went to sit at the end of the desk away from him.
After nearly an hour of working, the man finished building another small doll, this one looking a bit more refined than the first. He attached the doll just as he had with 1, setting up the device.
1 peered over some books, watching what he was doing.
The green glow flared up once more, flickering and illuminating the room. The man tensed up, relaxing as it finished. He reached up weakly, untying the doll, holding it.
1 stayed in his spot, unsure of what just happened.
The doll shifted slightly before sitting up, holding its head. It looked up to the man and smiled very softly, his eyes filled with concern for the human, noting just how drained he looked.
His eyes widened as he saw it move.
The man smiled, setting the doll down gently," Welcome to the world 2. Make yourself at home. I need rest." he said softly before getting up and walking to his rickety old bed, laying down and falling asleep quickly. The doll, 2, smiled as he watched him before glancing around at the things on the desk. He picked up a few of the items with a bit of trouble, carrying them to their proper destinations.
1 watched him from a distance, unsure of this newcomer.
He smiled a little, making sure everything was in place before sitting down, his back to 1.
From there 1 saw the 2 on his back. Getting a bit of courage he walked up to him.
"Ahem." 1 said to make his presence known.
2 jolted up, stumbling a bit before falling over and smacking his face on the desk.
1 rolled his eyes watching him.
He sat up, shaking his head a little before looking back to 1. He smiled broadly," Why, hello! I didn't think there was another."
"I didn't think he was going to make another." He seemed a bit mad at the fact.
" Why... If you were made before me... You must be the first! The original creation!"
1 just nodded.
He smiled brightly," The perfect imperfection!"
He glared at him "Excuse me!?"
He jumped a little before smiling," W-w-what I meant was, since you're the first, you must have the most flaws!"
1 glared at him and walked off.
2 watched him before smiling cheerfully, walking after him.
He sat down on a book, watching out the window that was open slightly.
He walked over and sat down next to him, looking out," What's going on out there?"
"From what I can tell. A war."
" A war? Tsk tsk..." he shook his head," Nothing good ever comes of those."
The house shook a bit with a explosion in the distance.
The shake from the explosion made 2 slide off the book, hitting the desk with a thud.
1 just flinched but tried not to show fear.
2 laughed a little, sitting up and rubbing his head.
He sighed and offered him his hand to help him up.
He smiled, taking his hand and standing up, though he didn't let go. He ran his fingers across 1's palm, looking at his fingers.
1 let him look, figuring he would let go soon.
2, after examining his hand, grabbed his arm, pulling him a little so he could examine the other features he had.
He sighed, getting a bit aggravated now.
He looked him over a bit more before smiling," Why, you aren't as flawed as I thought you would be. You're rather well built!"
1 yanked his arm back and walked off, 2 starting to annoy him.
2 walked after him," Your mechanics are fastinating. A rather scientific triumph!"
He glared as he walked further away, getting more and more annoyed.
He continued after him, not seeming to notice 1's annoyance.
He went over to some fabric and laid down on it to sleep for the night.
2 stood a little bit away from him, watching him.
He turned his back on 2, hoping he would go away.
He watched him for a few more moments before walking away to the other side of the desk.
It wasn't long before 1 fell asleep.
2 shivered in his spot, the room growing cold as the night progressed. He stood, hurrying quietly over to where 1 was sleeping and curled up against him, falling fast asleep.
The next morning 1 jolted awake with another bombing somewhere.
2 curled tighter, pressing against 1 in his sleep.
1 glared and pushed 2 off the fabric and more importantly away from him.
2 flopped off, hitting the desk a bit hard. He groaned, waking up.
He got up and headed off before 2 could see where he was going.
2 looked around, getting up," 1? Where'd you go?"
1 ignored him and hid amongst some objects on the desk.
He walked around on the desk, searching for him. He let out a slight noise of suprise when he was scooped up gently into the man's hands, who smiled down at him," good morning to you, friend." he said. 2 smiled up at him," And a good morning to you too.". The man laughed a little," Already learned to talk?". " Oh yes. It was rather easy." 2 said before glancing around," Though I can't seem to find 1 anywhere."
1 was behind some books, hoping no one would find him.
The man looked around before seeing 1 and smiling, setting 2 near him. 2 looked around and spotted him, smiling," There you are!"
1 glared at the man for doing this.
2 hurried over, smiling a little," good morning!"
"Whats so good about it?"
" Well, for one you woke up today and didn't pass away in your sleep. And the sun's out as well!"
1 just rolled his eyes and walked off.
2 hurried after him, smiling and walking next to him.
"Stop following me!"
" Why?" he asked curiously.
"Because its annoying!"
" What's annoying?"
"You following me!"
He smiled brightly," why?"
"I swear if you do not stop I will push you off this thing!"
" Oh? You will, will you?"
"Yes now leave me alone!" He stormed off.
He laughed," I doubt you would ever push me off! Someone with a ponytail couldn't shove someone."
You could almost HEAR 1 snap. He went over and shoved him off the desk.
2 let out a slight cry of suprise as he fell, thankfully landing on a pile of cloth on the floor.
1 just stormed off, thinking he was FINALLY rid of 2.
Geri scooped 2 up and set him down on the desk. 2 ran after 1, shoving him a little when he caught up to him, although he was rather weak," You pushed me!"
"I warned you! I'll do it again if you don't leave me alone!"
" You're just a grumpy old jerk!"
1 ignored him. One more time and he WOULD do it again.
" You're just mad because you're built poorly and wouldn't last a day off this desk!"
1 shoved him off again.
2 hit the ground with a slight thud. He stood up, holding his arm a little and glaring up to the desk before walking away from it.
1 went to the farthest corner and sat down. From his spot he could see the reddish smokey sky outside as the war raged on.
The man looked around, wondering just where 2 had gone to.
1 wondered what on earth was going on out there.
The man gasped, grabbing 2 just before he walked out of the room itself," 2! You can't go out there!" " Well it's better than staying here with that bundle of anger!"
1 glared back at him.
The man looked to 1 and sighed before setting 2 down gently. He picked 1 up gently before setting him inside a little glass jar," Now you stay in there until you think about what you've done."
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
He shook his head," No. Not until you're actually sorry about pushing 2 off." he said before taking a seat, beginning to work on a few things.
"I'll never be sorry!"
" Then you'll just have to stay in there forever."
He glared at him before sitting down, with his back facing him.
A little knock came to the jar.
1 glared forward and ignored it.
" You're stuck in a jaaar~"
He tensed but still didn't acknowledge him.
" And you can't get ouuuut~" he joked, tapping still on the glass.
His fingers dug into his arms as he sat down to wait out however long he had to stay there.
~Later that night~
2 had curled up against the jar, fast asleep, tired from spending the day mocking 1.
A explosion shook the room. The jar 1 was in fell over jolting him awake.
2 jumped a bit from the clank from the jar, waking up.
1 took that opportunity to get out of the jar and off the desk. Wont last a day of the desk would he. He headed quickly for the stairs and out of this hell hole.
2 watched him, tilting his head a bit before hurrying after. He'd get killed out there alone!
1 made his way down the stairs and out of the house into the night.
2 stumbled a bit after him, but lost sight of him after a bit. He tensed up a little, glancing around the world nervously. Where was he?
There was a slight rumble in the ground as some giant machines appeared.
His optics grew wide as he watched the machines, backing up fearfully. Just what were those?!
Some started firing as humans appeared.
2 hurried away, trying to get out of the line of fire. A bullet shattered a nearby bottle, sending glass shards everywhere. A large shard jammed into the back of his leg, making him cry out in pain, falling over.
Something ran out and managed to pick 2 up, running from the battle.
2 leaned against whatever had him, wincing when his leg moved too much, making the glass press against the metal and wires in his leg.
Once they were a safe distance he set 2 down. "Are you alright?"
2 nodded softly, whimpering a bit as he tried to move his leg.
1 picked him up again to head back to the house.
2 clung to 1, burying his face slightly against him.
1 held him close, trying to comfort him a bit. He stopped at the stairs wondering how he was gonna get up them with 2.
2 looked up a little at 1, staring at him.
He sighed "Looks like we're spending the night down here."
He smiled a little," That's okay... It's only a night."
He set him down and made sure he was comfortable.
2 shifted a little, reaching to his leg and grabbing ahold of the glass.
"No leave it. You don't know what kind of damage it caused."
" But it might hurt more if I move in my sleep."
1 thought "Ok just stay here and don't touch it." He didn't want to leave 2 alone but it would be better to get that man to help them. He headed for the stairs.
2 watched him, tensing up a little. He didn't want to be alone out in this wide-open space.
He started climbing up them as fast as he could.
He watched him before freezing up, hearing footsteps. A young woman ran past him, holding a little girl's hand. The girl let go of her mother's hand, seeing 2, her eyes going wide," Dolly!" she cried happily before picking him up. 2 winced but tried to stay as still as possible, not wanting to alarm the girl and make her drop him. The woman ran back, grabbing her hand again," don't let go of mommy's hand like that!" she exclaimed before running off with her.
1 finally made it to the stop step. He ran to where the man was sleeping and climbed up on his bed.
The man was fast asleep, curled tight beneath his blanket.
"Wake up!" 1 kicked his face.
The man winced, opening his eyes a bit and looking to him," ... 1? What is it? How did you get out of that jar?"
"Never mind that follow me." He got back down off the bed.
He stood up, yawning a bit," Alright alright."
He headed to the stairs and slowly went down them.
He watched him for a few moments before picking 1 up, going downstairs.
"2 got hurt." He told him once he was set back down and went to where he left him. "He's gone!!!"
The man looked around in the rubble and dust before seeing the faint footprints of the woman and child," Perhaps someone picked him up."
"Well how do we find him?"
" Follow the prints, I suppose." he said before picking 1 up gently, setting him in his front shirt pocket and walking down the street, following the steps.
1 looked around as they walked, hiding when others passed by.
The mother and little girl were just outside of a building, the girl giggling as she played with 2, putting him in a little dress she'd found on a different doll. 2 was trying his hardest to not cry out in pain or move for that matter.
1 peered out trying to spot him.
Geri put a hand gently on 1's head to keep him in the pocket as he walked over. He smiled at the woman," Hello there. I believe your daughter has one of my devices.". The woman looked to him," What?" she asked before looking over to the little girl," You mean that doll?". He nodded," yes.". The woman smiled a little," Sweetheart, can you give this man his toy back?". The girl frowned," No!". She tensed up as 2 shifted in her hand," p... Please give me back to him.". She screamed, nearly dropping 2 before Geri grabbed him, hurrying away.
1 had his hands over where his ears would be, the scream was so loud!
Geri hurried back home, going upstairs.
He clung to the inside of the pocket, terrified of all the jolting.
Geri pulled 1 out of his pocket, setting him on the desk gently. He laid 2 down, pulling off the garmet the girl had dressed him in before looking at his wounded leg.
1 looked at the thing 2 was in and snickered a bit.
2 let out a cry of pain as Geri pulled the glass from his leg. He snipped off the fabric on his leg, pulling it down to examine the wires and piping. He smiled a little," You'll be fine, thankfully. You'll just limp a bit." he said before pulling the fabric back up, sewing it in place.
1 walked over and held his hand out to help 2 up.
2 looked up to 1, a bit suspicious, but he took his hand, standing up a bit wobbily.
"Oh and don't forget this." He held out the dress.
2 looked to it and his optics grew small," I-I-I was put in that without conscent! She forced it on me!"
"Sure you were." He smirked.
He frowned, smacking 1 hard," And to think I actually thought you were a nice person after you saved me like that!" he shouted before storming off to the other side of the desk.
1 glared and dropped the stupid thing before going to the other side.
2 sat down, his arms crossed a bit. He reached up, wiping a bit at his optics. To think he was foolish enough to believe that 1 had a nice side to him...
1 watched out the window at the war raging on.
Geri, figuring he was wide awake now, began to work more on the two new bodies he was creating, sewing the cloth on them.
1 looked back a moment before sneering and looking back forward. Why was he making more.
He set up the dolls one at a time, doing the method and laying them down gently. He stood up, a bit woozy, before walking to the bed and laying down.
In moments one of the bodies sat up.
The other sat up, glancing around a bit.
She looked over and jumped seeing the other.
He jumped as well, eyes a bit big.
She stared for a moment before reaching out to poke him.
He flinched at the poke, looking at the spot where she'd touched before poking her back.
She glared at him a bit.
He glared right back at her.
After a few moments she started laughing, discovering she couldn't speak.
He tried to laugh as well, finding that his voicebox wouldn't work either.
'Why wo-AHHH!' She jumped back when her eyes flickered.
His eyes widened a bit,' hey! You talked with your eyes!'
'So did you!'
' Really? Cool!!' he looked around,' where are we?'
'I dunno.' She got up a bit wobbly and started to look around.
He stood with her, glancing around,' are we alone?'
'I dunno.' They walked down the desk, in the direction 2 was though they didn't see him.
2 was flopped on his side, curled up a little but wide awake. He felt terrible about smacking poor 1!
'Woah!' The girl tripped over 2, not noticing him as she looked around.
2 jumped, looking to the girl," Huh?". 3 tilted his head,' Hey! We're not alone!'
4 quickly got off him 'Sorry I didn't see you!'
2 stared at her, tilting his head a bit," Are you trying to talk to me with that flickering?"
'Can't you talk like us?' She tilted her head.
He stared at her before smiling," The scientist must've made you with a seperate purpose for your voicebox. I can't understand a thing you 'say'."
'Awwww...' Her smile went away.
2 stood up, brushing himself off. He looked between the two and smiled," What a cute pair of twins."
'Twins?' She looked at the other.
2 smiled a little," take a look for yourself." he said, motioning to a little mirror Geri kept on his desk. The boy glanced over, walking to it.
The boy squinted a little into the mirror,' hey! My number is 3!'
'Mines 4!'
He smiled brightly,' Twin!'
4 smiled and hugged him.
3 hugged her back, smiling brightly at her.
'I wonder if there are more.'
3 glanced around,' I dunno!'
~The next morning~
1 was still asleep in his spot. Tired from the night before.
2 nudged him very gently," 1?"
He looked over his shoulder at 2 "What?"
" I wanted to say... I'm really sorry I slapped you last night. I've been teasing you for the past few days, and you tease me once and I slap you. That just isn't right. So I'm sorry."
1 sighed "Whatever just let me sleep." He turned back over.
" Oh, and one other thing. I put you in the dress while you were asleep." 2 said with a smile before getting up and walking off.
"Wa-" He looked down "I HATE YOU!" He took the stupid thing off and thew it out the window.
2 laughed happily," I know!" he called back to him.
It was then the twins noticed 1 was up. In a instant they were all over him, cataloging. 1 growled and pushed them away.
2 looked back and watched, laughing a little. He glanced over to Geri as he sat down at the desk, rubbing his temples a little.
4 went over to him and put her hand on his 'Are you ok?'
Geri looked down to her and smiled a little, petting her head with one finger," I'm alright, little one. Don't worry about me." he said. 3 followed close after 4, staring up at Geri.
She smiled a bit and went to go look at some books.
3 followed after her, smiling a little. Geri watched them before he started to work on yet another little skeleton.
1 saw the skeleton, joy another one...
2 walked over and sat down, watching Geri as he worked," I'm guessing this one will be called 5?". Geri looked down to him and smiled softly," Yes. I'm not sure at all how he will be. You're all such individuals.". 2 laughed softly," Well, I'm certain however he'll be, it'll be good."
There was a thud as the twins shut the book they just finished and started looking for another.
3 looked up, seeing a book high up on the shelf,' how about that?'
She nodded and they went to find a way up.
2 examined the skeleton Geri had set down as he sewed.
'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' The twins rode the book down which landed with a loud THUD.
Geri jolted, poking himself with the needle. He winced a little, pulling it out.
4 looked over and saw a bit of blood 'Whats that stuff coming out of him?'
3 tilted his head, his eyes flickering a little as he went through what they had catalogued together.
She walked over and grabbed his finger a bit, cataloging it.
Geri winced slightly, watching her.
She noticed the wince and was a bit more careful.
3 hurried over, his eyes flickering as he looked the finger over.
She jumped back as the blood moved down his finger. What was this stuff?
Geri pulled a little away from the twins, grabbing a nearby rag and cleaning the blood off before glancing around for a band-aid.
He wrapped his finger slightly in a band-aid, smiling," there."
He looked to them and laughed softly, holding his finger out to them.
' Well there's no more red stuff...'
'What was that anyway?'
' I dunno!'
They hurried off to find out from a book.
Geri watched them for a moment before going back to sewing.
The light from outside soon faded.
Geri finally finished making the new doll, setting it up. 3 glanced over,' what's he doing?'
'I dunno.' She walked over to watch.
He let the device flip up, putting his face to it. 3 jumped as the green lights shot from the little talisman.
Geri fell a bit limp after it, though he soon sat back up, untying the doll and holding it.
After a few minutes the doll in his hands sat up. He shook his head a bit and looked around.
Geri smiled, watching the little doll.
He looked up to Geri, watching him for a moment before smiling back.
" Well, aren't you going to jump from my hands?" he asked.
"Why would I?"
" Well, it's just that one of your predecessors did."
His head tilted, not knowing what that word meant.
He smiled, lowering his hands for him to get off.
He got off his hand but stood in his spot and looked around.
2 was just a ways away, rubbing a little at his sore leg.
5 noticed and walked over "Hello."
2 jolted a little, nearly flopping over. He looked back to 5 and smiled," why, hello! You must be 5."
"I am?"
" Well, if I'm 2. And over there is 1, and the twins 3 and 4, then you must be 5!"
He smiled a bit.
He stood up, taking his hand a little and looking it over," My, he built you with absolute care."
He smiled letting 2 look. From his spot 1 watched the two with a glare for a moment before going back to his spot where he couldn't see them.
2 ran his hands along 5's palm, grabbing his arm gently and pulling him to look at the 5.
He tried to look at the number himself.
He laughed, holding his hand and taking him over to the mirror.
He saw his number and smiled.
2 smiled with him.
The twins peeked out at him from some books.
2 noticed them and smiled, waving to them," come over!"
They hurried over, grabbing 5 and cataloging him.
3 laughed silently happily,' He's so neat lookin'!'
She smiled 'He is!' She poked one of his buttons.
3 did the same, grabbing onto one.
2 smiled, watching the two before walking a bit away, looking around.
As soon as the twins were done 5 looked around on his own.
2 noticed 1 and smiled a little, walking over to him," what're you doing?"
1 just grumbled and tried to ignore him.
He sat down next to him, smiling a bit," You okay?"
"Why would you care?" Annoyance clear in his tone.
" Because I always care."
"Well with your last two stunts I couldn't tell." He glared at him.
He laughed," Oh come now, I was only playing."
He looked back out the window, still clearly mad.
He smiled a little," Well, if you want to talk, I'm always here." he said, standing up and walking back to where 5 was.
He watched 2 go back to 5 and glared at them a little.
2 smiled up at 5," So how do you like it here?"
He smiled "Its nice. Who's that over there?" He pointed at 1.
He looked over," Oh, that's 1. I'd watch out for him. He has a bit of a temper."
'He's a poop head!' 4 popped up at the mention of 1's temper.
' yeah! A big mean poop head!' 3 nodded in agreement with his sister.
"Cant they talk?" 5 asked 2.
2 smiled a little," They're talking, just not in a way you can understand."
"Oh, that's pretty neat." He smiled.
He smiled back," I would like to find out just how they talk like that, but I'm unsure of how to do it without making the two uneasy."
"Maybe I could help you figure out how to."
" Really? You would want to help me?"
5 smiled and nodded.
He smiled back," Smashing, dear boy! Absolutely smashing!"
An explosion in the distance scared the crud outta 5. "W-What was that!?"
2 laughed a little," The humans. They're fighting outside... Against what, though I'm unsure."
5 shook a bit, scared of whatever that was.
2 reached up, rubbing 5's shoulder," Don't you worry. We're safe here."
He calmed a bit and smiled.
He smiled back," well, it's getting rather late. Why don't you rest?"
He nodded and went to find a spot to fall asleep.
He watched him for a moment before going back to his spot and laying down.
5 found a spot and curled up, watching out the window a bit wondering what was going on.
3 looked over to 5, nudging 4 a little,' should we go lay down with him?'
4 nodded and let out a silent yawn, she was getting tired.
3 took her hand, leading her over to 5.
5 jumped when the twins suddenly were snuggled up against him.
3 let out a little, silent yawn, hugging 5 a little,' night...'
'Nighty night.' 5 smiled and snuggled down with them.
2 watched them from his spot, smiling softly. He was happy the twins were helping the new addition get comfortable, but he missed them helping him.
1 walked past 2, looking for something that he could use as a blanket.
2 looked to 1, rolling over and watching him.
He looked around for something that would be warmer than a flimsy cloth he had.
2 stood up, walking over to him," What're you up to?"
"Looking for something to use as a blanket."
" Well, theres a bunch of clothing on the floor. Maybe one of those would work as a blanket."
He looked down "How am I supposed to get those up here?"
He looked around before smiling," You could use a little hook attached to some string and pull it up."
1 rolled his eyes "Like that would work."
2 hurried over to a spool of thread before grabbing a rather thin needle, bending it into a hook before tying the string through the loop. He went to the edge, lowering it down," What would you like?"
"Doesn't matter, it won't work."
He smiled," I'll get you that nice red shirt." he said, hooking the collar of it and pulling it up rather easily.
1 glared and snagged it away the second it was up there.
2 smiled at him, seeming like he was expecting a thank you or something.
1 just walked off back to his spot, not giving 2 a second glance.
2 watched him, feeling a bit hurt. Just because 1 thought he would be wrong, didn't mean he could be so rude about it. He sighed softly before going back to his spot and laying down, curling up tightly.
1 went to his spot and curled up, the wind blowing a bit making the room slightly colder.
2 shivered in his spot, hugging his arms a bit. It was so cold tonight!
From her spot 4 noticed and went over to 2 'Are you ok?'
2 looked up to her and smiled a little," What're you still doing up?"
She laid down next to him and snuggled close.
He smiled, petting her head a little. He laughed, seeing as 3 hurried over, pulling 5 with him.
Poor 5 looked half asleep "Wha? Where are we going?"
3 sat 5 down before going and laying on the other side of 2.
5 just fell asleep quickly, tried from his first day of life.
2 smiled at them all before cuddling down between them, falling asleep.
From his spot 1 glared at the group before turning over trying to ignore them.
3 glanced over, staring at 1.
1 kept his back to them.
3 reached over and nudged 4.
She looked over at him before looking at 1.
' do you think he might be cold too?'
'He has to be over there all alone!'
He nudged 2 to try and wake him up.
4 did the same.
2 yawned a little, looking to them," hm...?"
They pointed over at 1.
2 looked over and smiled a little," do you want to go keep him company?"
4 tugged his arm a bit, wanting him to come as well.
He sat up," alright, I'll go too.". 3 smiled before nudging 5.
5 just followed them, too tired to care where they were going now.
1 was already asleep and didn't notice the group.
3 crawled underneath the shirt before poking his head out, snuggling up against 1's back. 2 laughed a little at the sight.
4 crawled under it and snuggled up on the other side of 1.
2 let 5 over, laying him down next to 3. He climbed beneath the shirt, laying on the other side of 4, smiling a little. It was much warmer here.
4 smiled and shut her eyes to sleep.
3 let out a silent yawn before falling fast asleep.
That night was relatively silent, almost no explosions.
Geri was up rather early, walking to the desk. He spotted the bundle of sleeping stitchpunks, smiling a little at them before going to work on the next.
1 finally woke up and tried to sit up.
3 clung to him, snuggling up to him.
"What the hell!?" 1 just then noticed he was surrounded.
2 stirred a bit, waking up from 1's yell.
1 tried to pry the twins off of him.
2 looked over and laughed," having problems?"
"Get them off me NOW!"
He laughed a little, reaching over and shaking the twins a little to wake them up.
4 tightened her grip on 1 a bit before waking up.
3 let out a silent yawn, leaning his chin on 1 and looking to 2,' huh..?'
1 glared at them "Get off me NOW!"
3 jumped, immediately letting go of 1 and scurrying away.
4 did the same and hid behind her brother.
2 smiled at 1," Better?"
1 glared at him "What are you all doing over here!?"
