The Auction
Nico is running an auction to see who might buy some animatronics. Sure enough, tons of people come! Especially parents with kids!
For everyone featured in the fanfic!
I hope you all enjoy!
âPatton: The fatherly animatronic. He can make ice cream, he can run with the kids! Heâs been programmed to hug and develop friendships with all children. He can teach good life lessons! And he can even make balloon creatures for them.â Nico explained.
âAnd...Roman?â The person asked.
âAah, yes. Roman is a fighter. Heâs a stage actor with a love for being the hero! And his sketchy brother, with the iron mace. They are not sold separately.â Nico told them.
âInteresting...How much is Patton on for?â The person asked.
â$5000.â He replied.
âHm...Not bad.â The person looked at Patton curiously and smiled. âDoes he have any flaws?â The man asked.
âThere have been instances of following the kids home till he shuts down...And there have been moments when he hugs too hard. But other than that, heâs in really good shape.â Nico told him.
The guy smiled and placed a hand onto Pattonâs cheek. Suddenly, Patton closed his eyes. âAwwwâŠâ
The man gasped and pulled his hand away. âOh god heâs on?!â
Nico giggled. âHe is on, sir.â
Patton looked at the guy and smiled. âIâm Patton! You can call me Pat if you want.â Patton explained.
âYes. He also goes by Pat if thatâs easier. Heâll even scan mispronounciations of his name and react to those as well.â Nico explained. âAn example of this is âPabbin.â
âYes?â Patton turned his head to Nico.
âSee?â Nico smiled, patting his shoulder. âHeâs a good one.â
Patton giggled and hugged Nico eagerly.
Patton let Nico go and looked at the other person there. âAnd whatâs your name?â Patton asked the person.
âIâm Violet.â They introduced.
âOoooh! Like purple!â Patton declared, clapping his hands and jumping up and down.
âYeah, like purple. I like green too.â Violet told him.
Patton gasped and turned to Remus. âOoooh REEEMUUUUS!â
Violet widened their eyes. No wayâŠ
âViolet likes green!â Patton declared.
Remus looked down at his own clothes and fist pumped the air. âYESSSS!â
Violet giggled at this reaction.
âWise competition for the GREEEEEN!â Remus said, running up to the two of them with his mace in hand.
âIs this real?â Violet asked Remus.
Remus ripped it from her hands. âYes! And no touchy!â Remus ordered.
âRemus, be nice! Or else youâre not gonna get sold.â Nico ordered.
âHave you ever considered that maybe I donât wanna be sold to a stranger?â Remus asked.
Patton walked around the auction, looking around for the kids. Suddenly, one of the kids ran up to the animatronic!
âAwww! Hello little girl! And whatâs your name?â Patton asked.
âAshy!â She replied.
âAshy, huh? Like Ashy, dashy flashy?â Patton teased.
Ashy giggled into her hand.
âMy name is Patton!â The animatronic told her. âSay, are you ticklish by any chance?â Patton asked.
âNoooo!â She giggled.
âNoooo? Are you sure about that?â Patton teased before poking her sides and belly.
Ashy giggled and laughed as she backed up little by little. âNohohohoho! Pahahahahat!â Ashy told him.
âOh, alright.â Patton stopped tickling her and started to stand up. But Patton froze in place the moment someone hugged his leg. Looking down, Patton realized it was Ashy trying to tell him something. âIhihi didnât want you to stopâŠâ She admitted.
âPatton smiled widely and picked up the little girl. âWell if thatâs the case:â Patton started throwing her up into the air and catching her. After the third catch, Patton started tickling her sides, and ribs. âTickle tickle tickle tickle tickle!â
Ashy was laughing, snorting and giggling all over the place as she sat in his arms.
Nico was about to intervene, when someone stopped him. âItâs alright. She really likes it.â She told him.
Nico let out a breath of relief. Thank goodnessâŠ
Patton soon stopped tickling her and hugged her tightly before giving her a gentle squeeze.
âYay! Mommy, mommy, can we keep him?â Ashy asked as she was put down.
âMaybe, sweetheartâŠHeâs kinda expensive.â The mom admitted.
âI donât know hunnyâŠ$5000 for an animatronic big forever babysitter is not bad.â her father admitted. âMy headphones were crappy and were sold for $300.â He explained.
Patton looked around the auction room at all the tables and posters everywhere. It was so decorated and pretty!
A guy walked up to the broken yellow and grey animatronic. âWhat does this do?â The person asked.
âAh, thatâs Janus: a...dangerous animatronic, to be honest. He was scrapped after he allowed kids to use knives and matches.â The doctor told him.
âCoooolâŠâ He reacted, grabbing the animatronic. âI like it! How much?â
2500. Heâs not nearly as expensive because heâs fairly broken. But if you wanna use him for spare parts-â
âIâm not using him for spare anything.â Alex grabbed his own hat and replaced the wrecked black hat on the animatronicâs head. âIâm gonna fix him up.â Alex told him with a smirk.
Nico walked away before he could get caught up in Alexâs questionable shenanigans.
Roman growled and pushed a personâs hand away.
âThis animatronic is threateningâŠâ The person said.
âYeah...No touching me.â Roman ordered. âOnly Nico can touch.â
âNow now, Roman...thatâs not how you get buyers.â Nico told him.
âWhy donât you wanna keep us?â Roman asked. âAre we not good enough for you? Or, perhaps too much for you?â Roman asked.
âWeâre giving you to actual owners who will wanna keep you for other jobs. See it as adoption.â Nico told him.
âExcept Iâm being sold for $4000. Why is Patton more expensive than me?â
âBecause youâre a little more dangerous than Patton is. And because everyone has been flocking to Patton.â Nico explained.
Roman huffed and looked down.
âI like this one. Heâs sassy.â the same person admitted from earlier.
âI do too.â Another person admitted.
âCan I have your names please?â Nico asked.
âShannon.â The first person said.
âSayge.â The other person said.
âAlright. Iâm putting your names into the hat.â Nico told them, placing two names in.
âAlright.â Shannon told him.
âWhat does this one do?â Sayge asked.
âHeâs a fighter. But he likes other things like costumes. Heâs a theatre animatronic.â Nico explained.
âAre they meant to have personalities?ââ Shannon asked.
âWellâŠâ
âExcuse me?!â Roman reacted.
âYES...He was.â Nico replied. âWe are quite surprised at how strongly the personalities effect the animatronics, however.â Nico added.
âI seeâŠâ Shannon responded.
âDo you have spare swords?â Sayge asked.
âYes we do.â Nico got Sayge a sword. âWhat for?â
Sayge ran up to Roman and started dueling with him. âEN GARDE, ROMAN!â
âEN GARDE!â Roman yelled back, perrying the sword.
Shannon giggled at this while Nico sighed in slight annoyance. Of all the things to start during the auctionâŠ
Soon, people started flocking up to the human and the animatronic, and started watching with curiosity and excitement. It didnât take long before people split themselves into separate cheerers. Some of them cheered for Roman, others cheered for âRomanâs Foeâ.
Roman smiled and winked at Nico before spinning the other sword out of Saygeâs hand. Sayge jumped and put his hands up as Roman pointed his sword to him. âGive up, mortal.â
Sayge, feeling there was no other way out, grabbed onto the sword and pulled it out of his hand. Funnily enough, the sword slid right out of Romanâs grip! It was like he had no grip at all! âHow about now?â
Roman widened his eyes and put his hands up. âOkay okay, I give up! I give up! Mercy, oh powerful one! Mercy!â Roman begged.
âAlright.â Sayge smiled and started to bow as cheers filled the room.
Shannon widened her eyes. âSaaaay...this gives me some ideas:â Shannon turned to Nico. âI am a costume designer, and I would like to use Roman as my costume dummy.â
Roman turned to her with his jaw dropped. âDUMMY?! WHO ARE yU CALLING DUMMY?!â
Shannon jumped and put her hands up. âI mean tester! My costume wearer! Or mannequin!â Shannon explained.
âOh...Continue.â Roman told her.
âOkayâŠâ Shannon hummed and looked back to Nico and Roman. âI would like to take Roman to be my mannequin for my business.â She explained. âNow, is Roman able to be gender neutral in any way?â Shannon asked.
âYou can say that, yes. I can give him a more round chin and a different shaped nose, if you prefer.â Nico offered.
âCause I would like to put dresses onto Roman as well.â Shannon explained.
âDRESSES?!â Roman gasped and clapped his hands. âHECK YES YOU CAN PUT A DRESS ON MY GORGEOUS BODY!â Roman made a sexy pose.
Shannon giggled. âGood! Iâll happily adopt Roman then.â Shannon told Nico.
âWonderful!â
âHA! I got adopted before Patton!â Roman declared, as if being bought was a challenge. âTake that!â
Shannon handed over the money and started to explain to Roman all that she had planned for the next coming weeks for costumes and acting roles.
Meanwhile, a guy was looking at Logan and quizzing him. âHow tall am I?â Andrew asked.
Logan looked at Andrew, looked him up and down and smiled. âYou are 164 centimeters, or 5ft 4 inches.â Logan replied.
âWow! And what is 150 x 38?â Andrew asked.
Logan smiled and turned his head a bit. â5700.â
Andrew grabbed out his calculator, and checked the answer. Sure enough, he was right. âThatâs amazing!â
âLogan was a creation made to counteract the manipulative Janus. He knows plenty of facts, can educate many, and has never told a lie.â Nico told Andrew.
âWould you ever consider making Logan a teacher?â Andrew asked.
Nico widened his eyes. âI never thought of that!â
Logan turned to Andrew. âCan you make me a teacher?â Logan asked, sounding unusually eager.
âI can...Itâll take some steps, but itâs worth the try.â Andrew replied. âI think you would make a great teacher. Or a great professor!â Andrew told him.
Logan smiled at the thought.
Andrew soon walked over to the guy working in the back, listening to headphones. âHey.â Andrew greeted.
The guy removed his earbuds. âHi, how can I help you?â Virgil asked.
âOh nothing. Nothing. What are you listening to?â Andrew asked.
âWanna listen?â he asked.
âSure!â Andrew replied.
Virgil and Andrew would be seen listening to music through the rest of the auction together. They would even wind up exchanging phone numbers so they could stay connected with each other! Talk about a match made in emo heaven!
Meanwhile, Patton was showing off his hairstyling skills to a lady with long, wavy hair. âAnd thatâs how you do a big bow out of your hair!â Patton told them, showing her the hair-made bow with a mirror.
The girl smiled proudly and showed it off. âYou did amazing!â The girl told him.
âThank you Mela!â Patton replied. âThanks for being my hair mannequin!â Patton told her.
âNo problem!â Mela replied.
Suddenly, an army of kids came sprinting to Patton, knocking him over. âPAAAATTOOOON!â They shouted!
âOhohoho myhyhyhy gohohoodnehehess! WOHOHOW!â Patton reacted.
âReally, Fizzy?â Mela asked, referring to one of the kids.
âYES!â Fizz replied. âIs Patton ticklish?â Fizz quickly asked as they clicked a few buttons.
Patton giggled and squirmed a bit, but widened his eyes as he felt his sensitivity increasing more and more! What in the world-
âHey! Get off him! Be careful what youâre clicking!â Nico ordered.
âThereâs arrows for sensitivity! Uuuup-â The kid kept clicking the up arrow, throwing Patton into laughter and hysterics. At first it felt like nothing. But now it felt like every hair and material on the kidsâ skins and clothes were tickling every inch of his body! Patton quickly fell into hysterics.
âAaaaaand doooowwwn!â The kid said, clicking the arrow button only a couple times. âBut we all want Pattyâs sensitivity UUUP!â They said happily.
Patton laughed and giggled hysterically as he was tickled and doggy piled by kids. âGUHUHUHUHUYS! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE!â Patton begged.
âOff off off off off.â Nico ordered. âI will not have Patton get broken by a bunch of evil kids.â
âEEEVIL?!â Fizz smirked and casually walked away. As Nico started walking away, Fizz grabbed his foot and pulled, making Nico faceplant the ground! Nico squealed and yelled loudly for the kid to let go while Fizz whistled innocently and tickled his foot.
âAAAEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHE! KIHIHIHID WAHAHAHAHAIT!â
âYeah! Cheer up old man!â Fizz teased.
âTickle Patton!â a kid declared.
âLee Patton!â Ashlee declared, having joined the group.
âSenit iveeâtee!â a toddler said.
Patton and Nico both bursted out laughing as kids started piling on the robot and the human, and started tickling, tickling, tickling! It was probably really embarrassing for Nicoâs case. But for Patton, this was all part of the job. Kids just loved being silly and playful! And he was created perfectly for the kiddies!
Roman got a recording of the whole thing, and sent it to Virgil through text.
[How much you wanna bet Pattonâs gonna be sold?]
Virgil looked down at his phone and chuckled while he texted back:
[I bet $10 bucks one of the kids parents buys them.]
...Sure enough, a daycare lady ended up purchasing Patton as a fellow worker at a local daycare! With a little bit of fixing, Patton was gonna be the greatest entertainer!
Sorry Ro!
