While there were plenty of games at the carnivals at Sunnyside, Fend couldn’t remember seeing anyone run a non game related booth. As a result, he eagerly decided to open up his own booth at the carnival: a build your own teddy bear booth. He figured it’d be a fun way to welcome the carnival-goers into his world, as well as make sure that they could have some cute, huggable, forever friends. After making sure that everything was set up, he flipped the sign on the booth to open. “Hi!” He called out upon seeing someone nearby. “Would you like to make a teddy bear?”

“Well,” Fend started off excitedly, “we had a lot of guests in Slinky Dog’s queue, so I had to help make sure everyone kept up with the party in front of them and stood side by side. That was pretty fun, but it also got a bit hectic!” Packing could be fun, but sometimes it got to be a bit repetitive. And he couldn’t exactly hold long conversations with anyone while packing, since he was only in one section of the queue. “How was your day?”

“Sure, I’d love to hear it!” He said, a soft smile coming onto his face. Fend had thought of putting on some music or playing a video on youtube to help him fall asleep. But he felt that wouldn’t work, due to the proximity of the phone, as well as the instruments or tracks backing the vocals. Plus it would probably drain his battery, and he needed his phone to be fully charged for the next day, since his shift was going to be a long one. Looking up at Melody, he added, “And I think it just might.”

Although Fend had a legitimate reason, he couldn’t help but feel like a deer caught in headlights at the question. After all, it was three in the morning. “Um...I have a shift in an hour and was craving Hot Pockets?” It wasn’t a lie, considering he’d gotten a wacky shift that he was unable to trade. But he wouldn’t put it past Thackery to wonder, since he was known for cooking at odd hours. “Sorry, did I wake you?”
