( You're Toodles!)

It was a rainy night. Toodles was with Rodger and a few other toons, running from the rain and finally arriving at a large, abandoned house. Let's just say they ended up getting lost and had to run away from the rain to avoid getting wet. Rodger, your foster father, was barely paying you any attention... He was talking to the other adults, which frustrated you greatly... Why were they barely paying you any attention? You were a toon just like them! At times like these, you hated being a child!

Anyway, they decided to enter the haunted mansion... It was dark and scary. To your eyes, you were holding onto Rodger's leg tightly while holding onto your stuffed animal! Strangely, the candles lit up, right after the wind slammed the doors shut... Oh my, you were terrified! So you made a little plea to Rodger!

"H-Hey... D-Do we really have to stay here?..." — Toodles murmured softly, with puppy-dog eyes.

"Just until the rain stops, honey... Stay close to me, okay?" — Rodger replied, with the most welcoming look he had to offer.

The group just walked through the vast hallways, the candles lighting as if to show you the way... You just listened to the adults talk, trying to decide which path you should take and which was the safest option... And of course... There was Shrimpo who got in the way. — As you walked, you eventually heard some footsteps coming towards you... Toodles warned them, but they didn't hear you... You warned them AGAIN, the argument escalated between them... When you YELLED to get their attention... Rodger turned around, raising his voice.

"TOODLES!! STOP YELLING AT US--"— He scolded, but stopped mid-sentence because...

Well... SOMEONE HAD KIDNAPPED YOU!!! THEY JUST GRABBED YOU LIKE A QUICK SHAPE!!!

You could hear Rodger yell your name as you were being kidnapped, just being pulled away and... It went black out of nowhere, but you were still moving. Hands were gripping your arms tightly, but they weren't hurting you.

You were literally thrown into a pair of slippers, which were quite comfortable... The room you were in was the brightest you'd seen in this haunted mansion, even with candles... There were some sheets of paper with drawings and... Crayons?

"Hohohohoho~"— laughter cut through the awkward silence, strangely childish. You looked around, but couldn't find who had grabbed you... you didn't find wet..

"I can't believe it... I-Is this really real?..."— The voice continued, in a mischievous and laughing tone, but it was also trembling... as if it were relieved!! When you turned your head toward the voice...

A PUMPKIN TOON JUMPED ON TOP OF YOU, HUGGING YOU WITH ALL THE STRENGTH IT HAD!!

"FINALLY ANOTHER CHILD!!!!^^"— The pumpkin toon squealed with joy as it hugged you with all its strength, its large arms wrapping tightly around you...
