It had been a few days since you babysat Skid and Pump and things were so far... well, weird for you. You couldn't get the image of Monster out of your head. Lying in your bed, that morning, you still were trying to piece together why you saw what you saw instead of the scary lemon head you remembered.
Sure there was the fact that it was probably her that was stalking or something, but you didn't expect 'it' to be a 'her'. And even if it was a her, why would it look like something straight out of an ecchi monster girl anime? You knew this place wasn't actually gonna be based off of the original FNF, but still, was this another mod or something?
You got up, changed clothes, unconsciously put on your hoodie, going to your TV to play a game. Right as you were about grab your switch, you stopped yourself. You thought for a moment, then decided against it. You went to your fridge and... okay, guess a grocery run was a must.
You made some toast, buttered it and decided to head out for a walk to get some fresh air and clear your mind. It was a little odd. You haven't gone out of the house that much back then, but in this new world, you actually were heading out more often. It could've been Friday Night Funkin' the game that was keeping you inside, or maybe it could've been you were an introvert back then.
As you finished your toast, you entered one of the closest supermarkets that had an A rating on the front. Was that a restaurant thing? You didn't care. As long as the stuff there was good. You grabbed a box of cereal you figured could last you for a bit, then grabbed one other thing before turning to walk, then you and someone else stopped just inches before you bumped into each other.
"Oh!" You sputtered as your face was just inches away from Carol's. "Uh... h-hi, Carol." You say while laughing awkwardly.
"Hey." She laughed before you stepped back.
"Sorry about that."
"It's cool. So, watcha doin'?"
"Just doing some shopping. My fridge is almost empty so, ya know."
"I get it. Having an empty fridge sucks."
"Well at it least I don't have to catch it." You suddenly froze at what you said. 'What was that!? That's not even close to being a good pun!'
Thankfully though, she just chuckled and went with it. "Guess so." She says before looking at your basket.
You looked in her direction and saw she was looking at the macaroni and cheese box. "What? I get I'm not a kid, but I still like it."
"Nah, nah, it's fine. I get it, nothing to worry about. You do you." She says as you sighed. "I'm busy with my own shopping at the moment, as you could probably tell." She then holds up her own basket.
"Yeah, I can see that."
The two of you continued getting some groceries for a bit before you were done. You paid for your own groceries and she paid for hers and you both left at the same time.
"I gotta say though, I've been told so much about you." Carol says while walking by your side.
"Yeah, yeah, a lot of people have been talking about the whole thing with me and Daddy Dearest." You say.
"No, not that. GF's been telling me a lot about you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and she 'really' talks about you a lot."
"Oh, I see." You say before thinking. 'What could she possibly be talking about? I don't tell her much about me.'
"She also told me about the thing that happened while you were babysitting."
"She did, huh? Which part did she tell you?" You say as you came to a stop at a crosswalk.
"That you sang with the kids in a haunted house and then had a rap battle with a monster."
"Yeah, can tell you one thing, I did not expect to see what I did."
"Still she told me how you stood up to it, pretty brave." Carol then says before stepping a bit closer to you. "That's something you know."
You rose an eyebrow when she said that, not knowing why she suddenly moved closer to you. "I mean, it wasn't really that scary to be honest."
"Still, that says a lot about you. Almost makes me a little jealous seeing how close you two seem have gotten after such little time."
You turned back to face her and then looked a little surprised. She was giving you this stare that caught you off guard. It looked almost like a flirtatious stare. You blushed and turned away to avoid her seeing it.
"Anyways, I should probably get going. See ya around bud." She says while patting your shoulder and leaving.
"Y-Yeah, see ya." You say before continuing down the crosswalk.
You walked for a bit, then turned around to make sure she wasn't in sight. Then you smacked yourself on the head several times.
"AGGGGH! What are you doing!?" You shouted to yourself before you continued walking.
You decided to go to the park, taking a stroll through it as you observed the beautiful trees, flowers, bushes, pretty much anything that made the park good in the first place. You sat on a nearby bench and then sighed.
'Okay, come on (Y/N), there's no way she was trying to flirt with you. I think she'd get the idea that you and GF might become a thing.' You think to yourself. 'Then again, why did you blush at that? You're supposed to be trying to hit it off with GF, that's the whole point of the game... right? The main character dates the girl character... right?'
You were conflicted with your feelings. You did seem to catch feelings for the brunette, after the first two weeks of getting to know her, but even then, Carol was pretty attractive and the look did get to you enough to make you blush. But, but, then again, she was Whitty's girl... well not yet, but you kinda liked the guy and didn't want to cuck him before he even met his girl.
Maybe this could've been like a harem anime-
"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! Hold up, what do you mean?"
Wha... what?
"What do you mean like a harem anime?"
Wait, you can read what I'm writing right now?
"Yes, I can hear you. What do you mean a harem anime?"
Look, I'm just saying, this could be the case. I mean, you could try-
"Dude, I am not down for this kind of cliche."
Do you even know what the title of this story is?
"I actually don't know."
You can see what I'm writing but not the title.
"No, what is it?"
... Ya know what, I'm not gonna tell you. You wanna be rude, I ain't sayin' nothing more.
"Whatever. Just stick to narrating the story."
Alright, guess you don't wanna know about the ball that's gonna be sent your way.
"I don't-Wait what?"
"HEADS UP!"
You hear as you turned and just as you saw a basketball about to hit you in the face, you dodged and it landed on the ground. You looked at it then looked in the direction which it came from, then spotting another recognizable face... well, recognizable screen.
"Hey, sorry about that I was in the middle of practicing and accidentally threw the ball a little too hard." The robot says with a smile on his face... his screen?
Your eyes widened as you knew who it was and was shocked to see so soon. If the fact that he was a robot wasn't enough proof, the basketball shirt and shorts were unmistakable.
"Gotta say though, nice reflexes." He says.
An eyebrow rose when he said that before you looked around. You weren't on the bench anymore, in fact, you were a few feet away from it, in a crouching position with one hand on the grass. Again you were shocked. You swore that this wasn't something you remember being able to do before.
"Uh, thanks. It's cool, though." You say while standing up before going over and picking up the ball.
"Oh, wow, I didn't recognize you at first." The robot then says as he then walked up to you. "You're that kid that beat Daddy Dearest at his own game."
"Yeah, if I had a penny for every time I heard that."
"Hehe, I'll bet. The name's Hex. Nice to meet you." He then says, reaching for a handshake.
"(Y/N), nice to meet you too." You say while shaking his hand... was it a hand?
"Ya up for a game?" He then asked.
You looked at him, then looked behind him. You didn't realize but there was the basketball court with speakers. on the side.
Seeing this, your eyes widened. There was no way in hell you were gonna be facing Hex this early. He had chill songs, but if Glitcher were to come up then...
"Uh... basketball, or singing?" You asked, nervously.
"Oh, sorry. I left my mic at home, so no singing. But if you're up for a game of basketball, I'd still be happy to give it a shot."
You sighed in relief before talking. "Sorry, I'm not very good at basketball either."
"Hey, no worries." He says back before you gave him the ball back before putting his hand to his screen while humming. "How about we play a different game? Ya up for H-O-R-S-E?"
"Sure thing, can go with that."
You decided to stick by and hang out with the robot for a bit since you had nowhere to be. After a bit, you held the ball up. Using some chalk on the concert, you made you wrote down who had how many letters. You had four letters and Hex only had three. You inhaled and exhaled before giving it a throw and... you messed up.
"Looks like I win." Hex says happily before adding the last letter.
"Yeah, good game." You say while stretching a bit.
"Hey, incase music doesn't work out for ya, you can always try sports." He then says as you chuckled.
"Maybe, but I'm pretty dead set on making it around here as a rapper." You say before seeing the sun begin to set. "I should probably get going."
"Alright. Hey next time we see each other, I promise I'll give you a rap battle." Hex says while patting your shoulder.
"Heh, I'll be counting on it."
"BTW do you mind if we exchange numbers?"
You didn't see any reason to deny it. You knew you could trust him. Strangely enough when you gave him your number, he didn't take out a phone. Instead, his face just showed a loading circle then a check mark appeared with a ding. Was he his own phone?
After confirming you got each other's numbers, you went your separate ways while you took your groceries with you and you just grabbed McDonald's on your way home for dinner. So, maybe going out wasn't so bad. You got make a new friend, especially with a robot, and it was way better than staying in doors for the day.
Now you could only wonder what to do next.
