When the duo got out of the room, they noticed the group was watching TV. Yarnaby sniffed the air a bit before turning his head to the duo, which made him get up and approach them. The others turned to the duo. "They've returned," CatNap said before they got up and approached them.
When Yarnaby was close to Michelle, he lay his head against her stomach, which made her smile and pet his head. "Sorry if I made you all worry," she said.
When the group was close to the duo, Lily Lovebraids eyed them. "You two weren't talking to anyone, were you?" she asked in a menacing tone.
Michelle flinched a bit and quickly shook her head. "No, no, we weren't talking to anyone; Huggy thought he saw something and chased it downstairs," she said before looking at Huggy Wuggy. "Right, Huggy?"
Huggy Wuggy nodded with a slight growl as Michelle looked at Lily Lovebraids and held the crumpets out. "Anyway, I found the crumpets," she continued.
Lily Lovebraids smiled and took the crumpets. "Oh, that's amazing!" she shouted. "Our Special Guest is going to love these!"
CatNap sweatdropped and looked at Mommy Long Legs. "Was I really like her when I was worshipping the False God?" he asked, lowly.
Mommy Long Legs glanced at Lily Lovebraids with a sweatdrop. "If I'm honest, you were a bit tamer than her..." she whispered.
Lily Lovebraids approached the door in the left corner. "I should set these on the table so everyone could enjoy them!" she shouted.
Michelle thought of something and looked at Lily Lovebraids. "We also have something we could set at the table," she said before looking at Doey. "Right?"
Doey stared at Michelle. "Do you seriously wanna waste them—" before he could finish his sentence, she smiled with her teeth showing. "Just do it..."
Doey sighed as he held his right hand out before the closed bag of cookies came out of his hand before holding it out to Michelle, which made her grab them before quickly approaching Lily Lovebraids, which made the group follow. "Do you and the Special Guest love peanut butter cookies?" she asked.
Lily Lovebraids gasped with a smile. "I'm sure he would LOVE those!" she shouted. "C'mon, let's head to the dining hall!"
The group nodded as Lily Lovebraids opened the door. As the group entered, they saw an open purple dining room with a long table and seven dining chairs at the center, stairs on the right side, and a blue slide on the right side.
When Lily Lovebraids looked at the table, she realized something and panicked. "Oh no!" she shouted, which made the group look at her with a flinch. "With so many guests here, there won't be enough space for everyone to sit!"
Michelle looked at Lily Lovebraids. "I'm sure some of them wouldn't mind eating off the floor—" before she could finish her sentence, she quickly shook her head. "No, no, no! Good toys don't eat off the floor; good toys are supposed to have manners?!"
The group stared at Lily Lovebraids as she brought the hair holding Candy Cat's head close to her. "There should be a spare table and chairs in the back; we could grab those," she said in a lower pitch voice.
Lily Lovebraids gasped and smiled at Candy Cat's head. "Great idea, Candy! You're such a Smarty Sally," she said before giggling and approaching the table.
After Lily Lovebraids set the plastic crumpets on the table, she smiled at the group. "I need a couple of good toys to help me get the spare table and chairs," she continued.
Doey hummed a bit. "In that case, I believe I know of a way to make things faster," he said, which made Lily Lovebraids look at him with her head tilted.
Soon after, Matthew, Kevin, and Jack split off, which made Lily Lovebraids gasp. "Oh wow!" she shouted before approaching the trio.
Lily Lovebraids examined the trio. "So Doey could split himself three times?! That's amazing!" she shouted.
When Lily Lovebraids stood before Kevin, she tried to touch his arm, but he growled at her, which made her flinch and back away. Matthew nervously smiled at Lily Lovebraids. "Ah, sorry about him; he... doesn't trust a lot of strangers," he said.
Lily Lovebraids pouted a bit and crossed her arms. "I remember hearing rumors about Smelly Haven that Doey had a big appetite and that he ate a lot of toys and even his own Mama and Papa; I wonder if it was because of Raging Red?" she asked.
Kevin menacingly glared at Lily Lovebraids as his body started bubbling. Michelle noticed and held Kevin's hand, which made him look at her, before his body stopped bubbling.
Michelle looked at Lily Lovebraids. "I wouldn't take those rumors to heart," she said. "Those toys he ate were probably bad toys, and since there was no bad toy box in Safe Haven, taking care of them himself was the best way."
Lily Lovebraids hummed a bit. "I suppose that makes sense, Braid Buddy; I guess I could let that slide..." she said.
Kevin stared at Michelle before looking down. "Thanks..." he said, lowly.
Michelle smiled before letting go of Kevin's hand. "I'm gonna need one more good toy to come with me and the three Doeys," Lily Lovebraids said.
Katelynn raised her hand. "I could come with you guys," she said.
Lily Lovebraids smiled at Katelynn. "Thank you, Suzy!" she shouted before looking at the rest of the group. "While I, Suzy, and the three Doeys are grabbing the spare table and chairs, you guys can place those cookies on a different plate and move the other chairs away from the other table."
Michelle hummed a bit and nodded. "Sounds like a plan," she said.
Lily Lovebraids smiled and nodded. "Then we have no time to waste; let's go!" she shouted before approaching the stairs.
As Lily Lovebraids climbed the stairs, Matthew, Kevin, Jack, and Katelynn looked at the others. "We'll be fine, just catch up to Lily," Michelle said, lowly. "Once you're all back, I can fill you in on the situation."
The small group nodded before following Lily Lovebraids. As the small group left the dining hall, Michelle turned her head to the others. "Well then, we should do our part too," she continued.
The group nodded as they approached the table; as most of the toys were pulling the chairs away, Michelle opened the bag of cookies and looked at the group. "So, what were you guys watching while Huggy and I were downstairs?" she asked.
CatNap looked at Michelle as she poured the cookies onto a plate. "It was replaying the Wrongside Outimals commercial," he said.
Michelle hummed a bit as she put the empty bag in her pocket. "Any thoughts about it?" she asked.
Mommy Long Legs looked away with a sweatdrop. "Let's just say... we now understand why the parents were against the toy line," she said, lowly.
Michelle crossed her arms. "That bad, huh? Figures..." she said, lowly.
Mommy Long Legs shook her head before looking at Michelle. "You mentioned 'situation' to the others; could you explain the situation to us?" she asked.
Michelle glanced at the stairs. "Actually, yes, I can," she said before looking at the others. "Gather around, and I'll explain what Huggy and I found."
The group nodded as they gathered around Michelle before she started explaining. On a metal catwalk, Lily Lovebraids was leading the group while smiling and humming. Kevin looked away, annoyed. "Do we really have to deal with her bullshit..." he said, lowly.
Matthew turned his head to Kevin. "I know this isn't ideal, but we need to be cooperative in this scenario, or else we'll be stuck in this place forever..." he said, lowly.
Kevin looked down, annoyed, with a slight growl. Katelynn looked at Kevin before holding his hand, which made him stop growling and look at her. "It'll be OK, Big Brother; we just need to believe in Big Sister and everyone else..." she said, lowly.
Kevin stared at Katelynn before nodding; Lily Lovebraids looked at the stairs leading to a suspended room with a busted opening under the catwalk. "Down here," she said.
After Kevin let go of Katelynn's hand, the group went down the stairs. When the group was close to the opening, they saw a room with broken monitors, a large purple table, and purple dining chairs scattered around it.
Matthew looked at Lily Lovebraids. "Is there a reason why you put the table and chairs in this room?" he asked.
Lily Lovebraids looked away, embarrassed, and she tapped her fingers. "Well... I ran out of space in the house, so I brought them in here..." she said sheepishly.
Matthew gently smiled at Lily Lovebraids. "That's alright," he said before turning his head to Kevin. "Shall we get the table?"
Kevin nodded before the duo approached the table. "Should be easy enough..." he said, lowly.
Katelynn held her hands out. "Let's see... there's me, Doey when he's one person, Big Sister, you, Huggy, Mommy, CatNap, and Yarnaby—" before she could finish her sentence, Lily Lovebraids looked at her. "We also have five of my friends and our Special Guest attending the party too!"
Katelynn nodded. "So that's fourteen minus seven... we would need seven more chairs for the rest of us," she said.
Lily Lovebraids looked at Katelynn. "Our Special Guest, Kitty Nap, and Mommy might accidentally break their chairs, so four should be OK," she said.
Katelynn nodded before looking at Jack. "Then let's gather them," she said.
Jack nodded before the duo approached the stairs; Matthew and Kevin grabbed their ends of the table. "On three, OK?" Matthew asked.
Kevin nodded. "One, two, three," Matthew said before the duo lifted the table. "Now to take it to the dining hall."
As the duo walked forward with the table, Lily Lovebraids smiled. "You two are doing amazing; we should get back to them quickly!" she shouted before following them.
After Katelynn lifted two chairs, she turned her head to Jack as he lifted two chairs. "C'mon, we don't wanna be left behind," she said.
Jack nodded before the duo walked forward; when the duo holding the table was near the top of the stairs, Matthew looked at Kevin. "Arms up," he said.
Kevin nodded as the duo stretched his arms up, which lifted the table far above their heads before Matthew got on the catwalk and stepped back. After Kevin got on the catwalk, the duo lowered their arms before walking forward.
When Lily Lovebraids got on the catwalk, she smiled at the duo. "You two work so perfectly; if only Raging Red could smile more, all of you would be perfect toys to bring joy!" she shouted, which made Kevin grumble, annoyed, before she followed them.
After the duo holding the chairs got on the catwalk, Katelynn followed the trio. Before Jack walked forward, he spotted a pink, white, and light purple wall with a small yellow star on the top left corner. "What's this?" he asked himself before placing the chairs on the ground.
As Jack approached the wall, he looked at the yellow star before stretching his arm toward it.
Before Jack placed his hand on the yellow star, a small, purple-braided hair with three claw-like points slammed near it, which made him flinch and retract his arm. "Now what's this? Is Yippie Yellow curious about this area?" Lily Lovebraids asked.
When Jack turned to Lily Lovebraids, her eyes became slightly bloodshot, which scared him. "While you can explore other places in the house, this room is off limits," she continued. "Good toys don't sneak and peek in other people's rooms... understand?"
Jack was terrified before nodding. "R-Right... sorry..." he said, lowly.
Lily Lovebraids's eyes returned to normal before she smiled. "That's OK; you didn't know any better," she said. "Now come on! We need those chairs in the dining hall!"
Jack quickly nodded before running past Lily Lovebraids and picking up the chairs. After Jack was out of Lily Lovebraids's sight, she turned her head to the wall. "It's OK... no one's gonna disturb you; you can continue sleeping..." she said, lowly, before catching up with the group.
