## Solution

Before anyone else has arrived for the party, 3 kids where hiding from the animatronics. A Blue Girl was crying in one of the party rooms. She wears a blue dress with a white bow in the waist. She has black long hair and peach skin with freckles. She was hiding under one of the tables.

**Blue Girl**: "Please don't find me...I just want to leave."

She covers her mouth and she sees the feet of Paige Penguin standing near the entrance to the party room.

**Blue Girl**: "Oh no..."

The Girl covers her mouth, but her whimpers are loud for Paige to hear them. Paige slowly moves closer to Blue Girl's table. Blue Girl shuts her eyes and prays she survives. She peaks to see Paige missing from her view. She smiles until Paige reaches underneath the table, grabs her neck, and forces her out. Blue Girl resists too much and her neck snaps, killing her. Her head has been snapped where her spin and vocal cords become visible. Paige drags her dead corpse out of the room.

Next is a Grey Boy sneaking around in the dark area. The Boy wears a grey shirt with black pants on. He has brown skin and short black hair that covers his eyes. The Boy finds the entrance to the place and tries to open it, but it has been shut due to the shutters. The boy bangs and attempts to rip off the shutter bars.

**Grey Boy**: "Come on! Come on! Come on! Open!"

Behind him, lightning flashes and it reveals Ranger Racoon's shadow standing at the end of the dinning room. His white small pupils glow in the dark. From the perspective of Ranger, he is shown to be making robotic raspy breathing sounds. He walks closer to Grey Boy's location. Once he catches sight of Grey Boy, his breathing becomes more aggressive. He steps closer faster. He makes a loud electronic low growl. Grey Boy turns around and screams as Ranger slices through his neck with his claws. His vocal cords and esophagus spill from his neck and falls to the floor.

When the children enter the restaurant. they are greeted by a dimly lit large dinning room. A bunch of other kids with invitations are sitting beside the tables, waiting for the show.

**Blue**: Hi there!

**Zarah**: "Cool, they're holding invitations to!"

**Boy in White**: "Yeah? We've been here for an hour."

**Girl in Black**: "Yeah, so far, I'm getting bored."

**Blue**: "What are you guys even waiting for?"

**Eight**: "Probably for a show!"

Blue sits down with the rest of his friends. Suddenly the dirty red curtains open up to show three animatronics. Humble Hippo, Danny Dog, and Paige Penguin. Beside Paige was a beaver hole and Billy Beaver pops out as if he was being hoisted by an elevator on wires and gears.

Humble resembles a gray hippopotamus animatronic with lighter grey accents around his muzzle and belly with a chubby build. He wears a brown buttoned up suit with red lining. He also weas brown pants made of a shiny brown material. On the top of his head is a black tophat with a brown strip. His eyes are dark blue and are sunken into the eye sockets.. His fur is gray with lighter grey stripes on his arms and legs.

Danny is a brown animatronic dog, with lighter patches of fur on his stomach and snout. His ears are a darker shade of brown. He has a wide head, with a thin muzzle and a thick jaw, as well as square teeth on his upper and lower jaw. Unlike the other animatronics, Dan has no eyebrows at all. He sports red eyes, and they're set in deep sockets, giving him a menacing stare. Being the band's guitarist, Dan wields a blue banjo. His pelvis and legs are made from a shinier bluish material to imitate clothes (pants).

Paige is a dark blue chubby penguin mechanical animatronic. She wears a dirty pink dress and red pants. She has an orange peak made out of plastic material. She has thick black eyebrows and thin feathers sticking out of the top of her head and tied with a red bow. Her beak opens wide, revealing the mouth of the endoskeleton inside. Her teeth are square shaped but thin. She has magenta eyes and seem to be sunken in the sockets. Paige's beak's lower jaw seems to be loose and slightly broken. Her feet are sharp orange penguin feet.

Billy is a child sized animatronic that resembles a beaver. His fur is a dark brownish color. He features squared teeth and a pair of buck teeth. Billy wears a red shirt with smiley face on it. Unlike the other animatronics, Billy's eyes are big enough to completely fill his eye sockets, but the pupils and iris are rather large. His eye color is yellow. His fingers are black and sharp, imitating beaver claws.

**Boy in Red**: "Hey, finally!"

**Girl in Green**: "That's what we've been waiting for!"

**Kane**: "Ew, these things look..."

**Zarah**: "Coo!"

**Stellar**: "Creepy..."

Humble Hippo wakes up from a deactivated state, moving around with his jaw occasionally snapping open and closed. Humble's eyes dart around, before his body starts to turn to look around the area. Humble jolts upwards, looking to his right. After a while of silence, he starts to slowly turn to the left. Humble then looks at the audience. He closes his eyes and leans back to chuckle a deep laughter. His eyes then open, albeit wider than normal.

**Zarah**: "Cute hippo!"

**Blue**: "I don't like this...these things look unsettling."

**Zarah**: "What's wrong with their designs?"

**Blue**: "Their eyes! Their sunk! Into their skulls!"

**Kane**: "Yeah, me and Stellar are getting nervous. I think Stellar is about to tear up."

**Boy in Purple**: "I wonder if they'll sing"

Humble then starts singing ***"London Bridge Is Falling Down"*** Danny is shown playing his banjo on the left side of the stage. Paige casually waves oh the right side, The singing and performance seems to go well, with an occasional glitching from Humble's voice box. However, his singing would become distorted midway through the performance, the lights cutting out and creating an eerie atmosphere that seemingly scared the patrons of the restaurant. The lights then turn back on as the animatronics start to act normal.

**Blue**: "I...what the hell was that?!"

**Zarah**: "Maybe just a faulty wire. Calm down, Blue..."

**Blue**: "How come your so calm about this?"

**Zarah**: "I umm...I like cute cartoon animals. I'm a little creeped out, but I'm trying to enjoy myself here."

The animatronics in their idle animations. Humble is looking around the area, blinking, and moving his jaw from time to time. Danny is also looking around the area. Danny, at one point, stares at Blue, creating a very unsettling stare.

**Blue**: "Zarah...the dog...he's starring at me..."

**Kane**: "Umm...Blue, lets go into the other room..."

**Eight**: "Yeah, lets go."

Kane and Blue leave the dinning area. Blue looks back at Zarah and then to see Danny is tracking his movement. Blue shivers and goes into another room with party tables and a giant red curtain.

**Blue**: "Another one?!"

**Kane**: "Don't worry, it seems turned off."

The red curtains open up to show Ranger the Racoon. Ranger is a animatronic brown Racoon with peach accents on his muzzle and belly. His fur is brown with darker strips. He has sharp teeth in his upper and lower jaw. Ranger wears red pants, made out of the expected velvet material for the mascot's clothing. He is the only character with sharp claws. He also wears a red vest. His eyes is shown to be much smaller than the eye sockets. His eyes are an orange color.

**Blue**: "What's with the sunken eyes on these things...?!"

**Girl in Yellow**: "Yay, another friend!"

**Boy in Blue**: "Does he sing to?"

Ranger looks around the room and his jaw moves as if he was breathing. Ranger simply stands there and doesn't move an inch. He only moves his head around and watches the children take their seats. He then starts singing a tune. Blue puts his head down. Kane pats his back.

**Blue**: "I'm going to the bathroom..."

Blue gets up and leaves. He walks through the dinning hall and sees Dan and Paige watching his movement, Blue quickly enters the bathroom and shuts the door.

**Blue**: "These...damn...animatronics!"

Blue goes into the bathroom and sits in the bathroom, wanting to be away from the animatronics. He then steps on a radar remote like device. He picks it up.

**Blue**: "What's...this?"

He puts the small device in his pocket. He finishes his bathroom break and walks past another room with another show stage with its curtain closed. The room is kept in the dark, so Blue shrugs it off.

**Blue**: "Not taking ANY chances."

He walks back in the room and goes to where Kane is.

**Kane**: "Oh, your back!"

**Blue**: "Yeah, I'm taking a nap. Wake me up when these guys deactivate."

**Eight**: "Will do. buddy!"

Kane and Eight watches as Blue rests and they focus on Ranger. Blue sleeps for a few hours and wakes up in a dimly lit area.

**Blue**: "Ugh...thanks for not waking me up, Kane."

Blue looks on stage and sees Ranger Racoon was deactivated. He then hears the deep laughter of Humble Hippo. The place's lights then cut out and Blue is left in the dark.
