When Michelle reached the top, she looked around. "Hey guys, I'm back!" she shouted. As Michelle turned around, Bunzo Bunny tackled her, knocking the air out of her before they collapsed to the ground.
Bunzo Bunny sat up and smiled. "Welcome back, Big Sis!" he shouted. "I was so worried when you didn't show up." Michelle slowly sat up. "Yeah, I had to... take a different route," she said.
The Mini Huggies looked behind Michelle before screeching and letting go of her, which surprised her. The Mini Huggies hid behind Bunzo Bunny, which made him look at them. Michelle tilted her head. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Unbeknownst to Michelle, Huggy Wuggy stood behind her and placed his hand on her head, which made her look at him. "Welcome back..." he said, lowly. Michelle smiled. "Oh, I get it now," she said before looking at the Mini Huggies. "It's alright; he's friendly..."
Michelle remembered something. "Ah! Speaking of friendly," she said before standing up and turning to Huggy Wuggy. "Huggy... I saw her." Huggy Wuggy was shocked as he knelt. "Kissy..." he said, lowly.
Michelle nodded. "She actually helped me get to you guys," she said. "I tried to tell her that you were with me, but..." Michelle looked down. "I lost sight of her..." she continued.
Huggy Wuggy whimpered, which made Michelle pet his head. "It's OK, Huggy; I'm sure we'll meet up with her again once we head to Playcare," she said. Huggy Wuggy looked at Michelle before nodding. "Huggy hope so too..." he said, lowly.
Michelle looked at Huggy Wuggy, surprised, and tilted her head. "Hang on; last I remember, you were speaking in broken sentences," she said. "How are you...?" Huggy Wuggy looked at Bunzo Bunny. "Bunzo teach Huggy how to talk better," he said.
Bunzo Bunny brimmed with pride as he placed his cymbals on his sides. "That's right! It was kinda hard, but I managed to teach him the basics," he said. Michelle smiled and petted Bunzo Bunny's head. "Good job, Little Bro," she said, which made him giggle.
After Michelle removed her hand, she looked at the Mini Huggies. "And I think a proper introduction to the little ones is needed," she said. "I gave them names so I don't constantly call them Huggy."
After Bunzo Bunny stood up and stepped to the side, Michelle gestured to the Mini Huggies. "From left to right, it's Tulip, Rose, Ivy, Lilac, and Sunflower, or Sunny for short," she continued.
Michelle approached the panel. "You two get acquainted with the Mini Huggies while I pull the last lever," she said.
Huggy Wuggy looked at the Mini Huggies before holding his hand out. "Friend..." he said. The Mini Huggies looked at Huggy Wuggy's hand before looking at him.
Michelle grabbed the lever and pulled it, which triggered the speakers and music. "Jeez, have you played these before? You're so good," Stella said. "Seems like you're ready for the final game: Statues!"
Michelle heard something unlock, which made her look forward. "Follow Mommy down the stairs one last time," Stella continued. "I hope you had a fun day at the Game Station; see you next time!"
After the speakers turned off, Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled. "Only one game remains, and it had to be the worst one," she said.
Michelle looked at her bracelet before placing her other hand over it. "I have to beat it for them," she continued. Michelle felt a hand on her head, which made her look up.
Soon after, Michelle saw Huggy Wuggy with the Mini Huggies wrapped around him, which made her giggle a bit. "It seems like the Mini Huggies quickly attached to you," she said.
Huggy Wuggy nodded before kneeling. "Luck charm..." he said. Michelle nodded before approaching her bag and unzipping it.
Michelle grabbed a bag of cookies and hung it on one of her GrabPack's hooks before rummaging through her bag. "I'm just gonna grab one more thing..." she said, lowly.
Soon after, Michelle zipped the bag. "We're very close to our goal, pal," she said before looking at Huggy Wuggy. "Keep the smaller toys safe for me, OK?"
Huggy Wuggy nodded as he stood up. "Misha stay safe, too," he said. Michelle smiled and nodded before walking forward. When Michelle reached the entrance to Statues, she looked at the handle before pulling both triggers.
Both hands grabbed the handle before Michelle started pulling, which caused the pathway to start opening. When the pathway was fully open, Bunzo Bunny approached Michelle and looked at her. "Will you be OK, Big Sis?" he asked.
Michelle smiled as she petted Bunzo Bunny's head. "Well, if PJ still remembers me from when I was a kid, things will be alright," she said.
Bunzo Bunny looked at the opening. "I'm more worried about Mommy," he said, which made Michelle look at him. "If things haven't been going her way... she'll get desperate... maybe even try to sabotage you."
Michelle frowned a bit before crouching to Bunzo Bunny's level. "If she still remembers the happy times we had together, I can convince her to come with us instead," she said.
When Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle, she smiled. "Have faith in your Big Sister," she continued. Bunzo Bunny stared at Michelle with awe before smiling and nodding as she stood up. "I'll be back with possibly new friends," she said before approaching the steps.
Huggy Wuggy approached Bunzo Bunny as he waved, "Good luck!" he shouted, "And don't die, or I'll get angry!" Michelle chuckled a bit and waved back. "Likewise!" she shouted.
When Michelle reached the bottom of the stairs, she looked forward, anxious. "I really hope that PJ still remembers me," she said before walking forward.
At the end of the hallway, Michelle saw the pathway closed. "I'll need to get the power back on," she continued before turning her head to the right and spotting a door. When Michelle approached the door, she opened it before entering the room.
When Michelle walked to the back, she saw a green power outlet, a receiver across from it, and two electric poles in between. Next to the outlet, Michelle saw a cutout of a half-pug, half-caterpillar toy.
Michelle approached the cutout and pressed the button. "Do you wanna play with PJ?" it asked. Michelle chuckled a bit. "Not right now, boy," she said before looking around. "But I'll definitely be meeting you soon."
When Michelle looked up, she saw two handles on the roof: one powered up and the other blank. Michelle looked at the left handle before pulling the left trigger.
The blue hand grabbed the handle before Michelle pulled herself up. When Michelle stopped, she looked forward and saw the output unit. "So there's my output unit," she said before swinging herself on the ledge.
Michelle pulled the left trigger, launching the blue hand and touching the unit, which lit the cables up. Michelle dropped down and circled the wire around the poles. Michelle turned to the green power outlet before pulling the right trigger.
The green hand touched the outlet, which powered it up. After Michelle retracted the green hand, she aimed at the receiver before pulling the right trigger again.
The green hand placed the electricity in the receiver, which switched the handles' power. Michelle aimed for the handle above her before pulling the right trigger.
The green hand grabbed the handle before Michelle pulled herself up. Michelle swung herself onto the platform before the handle's power deactivated. "This'll do the job," she said before pulling the right trigger.
The green hand touched the input unit, which powered the area. After Michelle landed on the ground, she walked toward the door. "That should open the shutters," she said.
When Michelle was close to the door, she heard multiple footsteps, which made her anxious. "Please don't let this be how I'm gonna die..." she said, lowly, before leaving the room.
The shutter started opening, which made Michelle look at it. Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled. "Let's do this," she said before walking forward. Soon after, Michelle entered the obstacle course and looked around.
The TV turned on, which made Michelle turn to it. "Welcome to Statues," the man on the TV said. "This advanced obstacle course is designed to test your physical endurance and strength."
Michelle quietly stepped to the entrance of the obstacle course as the TV showed an example video in a dark room. "The rules are simple," the man on the TV continued. "The lights will turn off; you can move through the obstacle course at this time."
Soon after, the example video showed the lights on. "However, when the lights turn on, you can look around but cannot move," the man on the TV said. "You may move again once the lights are off." Michelle heard multiple steps, which made her look up.
Michelle's eyes widened when she saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar enter through a hole. "The lovable PJ Pug-A-Pillar will follow you; if PJ reaches you, your test is over," the man on the TV continued. Michelle was nervous. "That's all; good luck," the man on the TV said before it turned off.
Mommy Long Legs entered the observation room. "It was always so sad to see the other kids go," she said, which made Michelle look at her. "They call me Mommy because I was the closest thing they ever had to one."
Mommy Long Legs looked at Michelle. "But they come for games and never come back..." she continued. "They left Mommy to die alone; Mommy didn't deserve that. But when my little Misha appeared in my sights, Mommy was very happy..."
Mommy Long Legs pressed her fingers on the glass hard. "But then... when Poppy told my little Misha about the train code... Mommy was angry," she said as some of the glass broke, which made Michelle flinch. "Poppy was trying to make you leave Mommy again."
Michelle was shocked and looked at Mommy Long Legs. "Wait, that's not it; she was—" she looked at her with an angry face, "Silence!!"
Michelle froze. "My little Misha will never leave Mommy's sight again?!" Mommy Long Legs shouted. "Mommy will protect you, and no one will get in Mommy's way!"
The lights turned off, and music started playing as the gate opened, which made PJ Pug-A-Pillar move forward.
Michelle sprinted through a colorful pathway. "All I have to do is get to the end," she said. Michelle quickly stopped halfway through the pathway before the lights turned on.
Michelle glanced at the back as she heard steps. The lights turned off, prompting Michelle to sprint out of the colorful pathway. When Michelle got on top at the start of the rings, the lights turned on, which made her stop.
Michelle glanced at the back and saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar's head. "When he gets close to the rings, he'll climb on the poles holding them..." she said, lowly.
When the lights turned off, Michelle jumped into the blue foam pit and tried running through it. Michelle quickly stopped before the lights turned on; she looked at her hands and noticed they were shaking. "Keep it together, Misha..." she said, lowly.
When the lights turned off, Michelle ran through the pit. When Michelle was close to the floor, she stopped before the lights turned on. When the lights turned off, Michelle got on the floor. "I'm not taking any chances," she said before entering the easy pipe.
Michelle quickly stopped before the lights turned on. Michelle could hear multiple steps, which terrified her. "I need to do this quickly," she said, lowly. When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly moved inside the pipe.
Halfway through the pipe, Michelle stopped before the lights turned on. "I should be getting close to the end..." she said, lowly. The lights turned off, prompting Michelle to crawl through the pipe.
Soon after, Michelle got out of the pipe and stopped before the lights turned on. Michelle tried calming herself as she looked at the yellow platforms. "I have to keep going," she said, lowly. When the lights turned off, Michelle entered the blue pit and tried moving forward.
Michelle quickly stopped before the lights turned on. Michelle glanced at the back and saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar get on the first yellow platform, which terrified her. When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly moved through the pit.
When Michelle was partially close to the floor, she stopped before the lights turned on. "One final stretch..." she said, lowly. When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly reached the floor and sprinted forward.
However, freshly destroyed concrete blocked the end, which made Michelle's eyes widen and stop moving. "Oh shit!" she shouted. "What do I do now?!"
Michelle looked around. "Maybe I can find a handle to—" when she turned to the back, PJ Pug-A-Pillar quickly pounced toward her. Michelle's eyes widened, and she let out a horrified scream as PJ Pug-A-Pillar tackled her to the ground.
Mommy Long Legs gasped and covered her mouth. "No... no, no, no... this wasn't supposed to happen..." she said, lowly. Tears pricked Mommy Long Legs's eyes before she ran away.
