Sergio POV:

I was awoken to a loud beeping noise, I grabbed the source on my nightstand and felt plastic. Seemed right. I opened one eye halfway and looked at it. Red blocky text read: 6:00 AM. I need to wake up and get ready for the day. I got up and stretched. I bent down and pulled up my thigh highs because they rolled down some during the night, I did the same with my arm warmers. I went over to my wardrobe and got a new shirt, new hoodie, a new pair of sweatpants, then put my shoes on last. After all that, I decided to head over to Day's house and tell him good morning. Once I reached his front door, I knocked and waited patiently.

Day opened the front door and noticed me immediately. "Oh, good morning Sergio! How was your sleep last night?" He asked me. "I slept pretty well! I did NOT want to get out of bed. Can I uhh, come in?" I asked him. "Oh, of course!" He stepped aside and let me inside, "Be quiet, CatNap is still sleeping." "Alright"

Day went into the kitchen and made me and him some hot sweet tea. We then entered the living room where we sat down and talked to each other to get to know each other better. I told him stuff about how my training went and he talked about some stuff that happened before I got here. There was another critter named Happy Hyena and that he disappeared one day and never returned. He seemed glad about it, when I asked him why he said that he was a terrible individual that committed numerous crimes. After he told me that, I immediately agreed and said that I was glad that he was gone.

After some time, CatNap woke up and joined us. Before he did, he made himself some tea too. "Morning bitches." He said as he sat down next to Day. "Please don't call Sergio a bitch." "Make me." Day then gave him a look that scared him shitless. "Umm, okay. Sorry I called you a bitch Sergio, I'll never call you that again... unless you want me to." "CatNap!"

We all had some good laughs for the next about 15 minutes until we finished our morning tea and headed down to the bar. After a couple of minutes, Hoppy caught up with us and walked with us too. I found out that she's been playing soccer ever since she was created in the lab, I guess that's why she loves sports so much.

...

"And that's why I always talk about bullfighting." Kickin' said as he finished his story. "That was an exciting story Kickin'! Man, all the people who haven't heard that story are REALLY missing out!" Hoppy said, filled with excitement, like always. "They indeed are." Kickin' said, then leaned back in his chair. I chuckled when he almost fell backwards and made a goofy chicken-like noise.

Suddenly, the waiter appeared out of nowhere and made me jump. I don't know how he scared me for just a split second, he's not scary at all. All I can say about this waiter is that he's super fucking good at his job. "Good morning Smiling Critters! What could I get you today?"

I zoned out, I don't know why, but I did. My thoughts spoke to me, telling me nonsense. By itself, I held Day's hand. And yes, he noticed.

"You good bud?" He whispered to me. "I don't know, I'm just super uncomfortable around Crafty. It's like, she gives off this certain type of energy that I really don't like and it makes me feel... scared, I think." I whispered back. "Alright. If holding my hand makes you feel more comfortable, then you can." "Thank you." "Mhm."

...

"Hey Sergio." Crafty called out to me. "Yes?" I called back as she walked up to me. "I can finally tell you that thing I wanted to tell you yesterday!" "Well, alright. What is it?" "I can't tell you here, we're gonna have to go somewhere else. Here, follow me."
