You? A Toon Handler? Surprising. You hated taking care of people. Especially kids. And Shelly? Acted just like one. The only reason you took this job is because they offered 200 dollars an hour. And you were broke and greedy.

"Your assigned toon is Shelly!" The interviewer said, standing up with papers

"...Shelly?.." You asked with a raised brow

"Yep! She's into dinosaurs and all of that... you'll learn to love her!" The interviewer laughed and made you sign a couple of papers

You got up with a sigh as the interviewer put a hand on your back and started walking "She's like a little kid sometimes! And you're great with kids aren't you?"

"...Yeah..." You lied, avoiding eye contact.

"Fantastic!" The interviewer grinned, walking you into the room hallway. Oh god.

Present Day

That day was 8 months ago. You're still Shelly's Toon Handler, even if you dreaded the job. Money is money.

You're sitting with Shelly in the library, listening to her ramble about dinosaur facts. Well, not really listening.. you'd zone off, but go with whatever she says

"Did you know the fastest dinosaur was the Compsognathus?" Shelly spoke, lifting the book up to her face with a huge smile
