After Michelle reached the top of the stairs, she walked forward a bit while looking around. "Hey guys, I'm back!" she shouted.
When Michelle glanced to her left, Bunzo Bunny tackled her, which knocked the air out of her a bit before they hit the ground.
Bunzo Bunny got off Michelle before sitting up, smiling. "Welcome back, Big Sis!" he shouted. "I was starting to get worried when you didn't show up."
Michelle slowly sat up and slightly smiled at Bunzo Bunny. "Yeah, I had to... take a different route," she said.
The Mini Huggies looked behind Michelle before screeching and quickly letting go of her, which surprised her.
The Mini Huggies sprinted toward Bunzo Bunny and quickly hid behind him, trembling, which made him look at them; Michelle tilted her head. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Unbeknownst to Michelle, Huggy Wuggy stood behind her before raising his hand and placing it on her shoulder, which made her turn her head to him. "Welcome back..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle smiled as Huggy Wuggy pulled his hand away. "Oh, I get it now," she said before looking at the Mini Huggies. "It's alright; he's friendly..."
Michelle remembered something. "Ah! Speaking of friendly," she said before quickly standing up and turning to Huggy Wuggy. "Huggy... I saw her."
Huggy Wuggy looked at Michelle, shocked, before kneeling to her level. "Kissy..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle nodded. "She actually helped me get to you guys," she said. "I tried to tell her that you were with me, but..."
Michelle looked down. "I lost sight of her when I turned the corner..." she continued.
Huggy Wuggy looked down, whimpering, which made Michelle pet the right side of his head. "It's OK, Huggy; I'm sure we'll meet up with her again once we head to Playcare," she said.
Huggy Wuggy looked at Michelle before nodding. "Huggy hope so too..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle looked at Huggy Wuggy, surprised, and tilted her head. "Hang on; last I remember, you were speaking in broken sentences," she said. "How are you...?"
Huggy Wuggy looked at Bunzo Bunny. "Bunzo teach Huggy how to talk better," he said.
Bunzo Bunny brimmed with pride as he placed his cymbals on his sides. "That's right! It was kinda hard, but I managed to teach him the basics," he said.
Michelle smiled at Bunzo Bunny and approached him before petting his head. "Good job, Little Bro," she said, which made him giggle.
After Michelle pulled her hand away, she looked at the Mini Huggies. "And I think a proper introduction to the little ones is needed," she said. "I gave them names, so I don't constantly call them Huggy."
After Bunzo Bunny stood up and stepped to the side, Michelle gestured to the Mini Huggies. "From left to right, it's Tulip, Rose, Ivy, Lilac, and Sunflower, or Sunny for short," she continued.
Michelle approached the steps. "You two get acquainted with the Mini Huggies while I pull the last lever," she said.
Huggy Wuggy looked at the Mini Huggies before holding his hand out. "Friend..." he said.
The Mini Huggies looked at Huggy Wuggy's hand before looking at him; after Michelle reached the top of the steps, she approached the control panel.
When Michelle was near the control panel, she grabbed the last lever before pulling it down, which triggered the speakers and music. "Geez, have you played these before? You're SO good!" Stella shouted. "Seems like you're ready for the final game: Statues!"
After Michelle let go of the lever, she heard something unlock nearby, which made her look forward. "Follow Mommy down the stairs one last time," Stella continued. "I hope you had a fun day at the Game Station; see you next time!"
After the speakers turned off, Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled. "Only one game remains, and it had to be the worst one," she said.
Michelle looked at her bracelet before placing her left hand over it. "I have to beat it for them," she continued.
Michelle felt a hand on her head, which surprised her; when she looked up, she saw Huggy Wuggy with the Mini Huggies wrapped around him. Michelle giggled a bit. "It seems like the Mini Huggies quickly attached to you," she said.
Huggy Wuggy nodded as he pulled his hand away from Michelle before kneeling. "Luck charm..." he said.
Michelle nodded before approaching her backpack; she grabbed the zipper tab and unzipped it before digging her hand inside.
After Michelle pulled a bag of mini cookies out of her backpack and hung it on one of the GrabPack's hooks, she looked in it before digging her hand inside it. "I'm just gonna grab one more thing..." she said in a low voice.
After some time, Michelle grabbed the zipper tab and zipped her backpack. "We're very close to our goal, pal," she said before looking at Huggy Wuggy. "Keep the smaller toys safe for me, OK?"
Huggy Wuggy nodded as he stood up and looked at Michelle. "Misha stay safe, too," he said.
Michelle smiled and nodded before stepping away from the control panel and walking forward.
After Michelle went down the steps, she approached the entrance to Statues and spotted a handle; she grabbed the arm cannons' handles before aiming at it and pulling both triggers.
Both hands shot forward and grabbed the handle before Michelle stepped to the right and pulled the triggers, pulling the lever and creating an opening.
When the entrance was fully open, Michelle retracted the GrabPack's hands back to her before approaching it. As Michelle looked at the opening, Bunzo Bunny approached it before looking at her. "Will you be OK, Big Sis?" he asked.
Michelle smiled at Bunzo Bunny and petted his head. "Well, if PJ still remembers me from when I was a kid, things will be alright," she said.
Bunzo Bunny looked at the opening, worried. "I'm more worried about Mommy," he said.
Michelle stared at Bunzo Bunny as he looked down with a frown. "If things haven't been going her way... she'll get desperate..." he continued before glancing at her. "Maybe even try to sabotage you..."
Michelle frowned a bit before kneeling to Bunzo Bunny's level. "If she still remembers the happy times we had together, I can convince her to come with us instead," she said.
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle as she smiled. "Have faith in your Big Sister," she continued.
Bunzo Bunny stared at Michelle with awe before smiling and nodding as she stood up and pulled her hand away before looking at the opening. "I'll be back with possibly new friends," she said before walking forward and going down the stairs.
Huggy Wuggy and the Mini Huggies approached Bunzo Bunny as he smiled and waved. "Good luck!" he shouted. "And don't die, or I'll get angry!"
Michelle turned her head to the group with a chuckle and waved back. "Likewise!" she shouted.
When Michelle reached the bottom of the stairs, she looked forward, anxious. "I really hope that PJ still remembers me..." she said in a low voice before walking forward.
At the end of the hallway, Michelle saw a shutter covering the opening. "I'll need to get the power back on," she continued.
Michelle turned her head to the right and spotted an opened door before approaching it; she went through it and saw a gray room with crates and barrels before walking forward.
Soon after, Michelle entered a room with a green power socket, two electric poles, and a green input socket across from it.
Next to the green power socket, Michelle saw a cutout of a half-pug, half-caterpillar toy with blue and purple fur. Michelle approached the cutout and pressed the button. "Do you wanna play with PJ?" it asked.
Michelle chuckled a bit. "Not right now, boy," she said before looking around. "But I'll definitely be meeting you soon."
When Michelle looked up, she saw two handles on the roof: the left one glowing and the right one dark.
Michelle grabbed the left arm cannon's handle before aiming at the left handle and pulling the trigger. The blue hand shot forward and grabbed the handle before Michelle pulled herself up.
When Michelle was at the top, she looked forward and saw a power socket. "So there's my other power socket," she said before swinging herself onto the upper ledge and pulling the trigger, making the blue hand retract back to her before landing on it.
After Michelle stood up properly, she aimed the left arm cannon at the power socket and pulled the trigger, launching the blue hand and touching it, which lit the cable.
Michelle approached the ledge and jumped down; after she stood up properly, she wrapped the cable around the poles. Michelle grabbed the right arm cannon's handle before aiming it at the green power socket and pulling the trigger.
The green hand shot forward and touched the green power socket, which powered it up. After the green hand retracted back to Michelle, she aimed the right arm cannon at the green input socket and pulled the trigger.
The green hand shot forward and touched the input socket, which switched the handles' power. Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the handle above her before pulling the trigger.
The green hand shot forward and grabbed the handle before Michelle pulled herself up. Michelle swung herself and pulled the trigger, which made the green hand retract back to her and land on the upper ledge before the handle's power deactivated.
Michelle looked at the input socket in front of her and aimed the right arm cannon at it. "This'll do the job," she said before pulling the trigger.
The green hand shot forward and touched the input socket, which powered the area. After the GrabPack's hands retracted back to Michelle, she approached the ledge and jumped down before landing on the ground. "That should open the shutters," she said before standing up properly and leaving the room.
While Michelle was walking, she heard multiple footsteps from the roof, which made her anxious. "Please don't let this be how I'm gonna die..." she said in a low voice.
After Michelle went through the opening, the shutter created an opening, which made her look at it. Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled before gripping the arm cannons' handles. "Let's do this," she said before walking forward.
Soon after, Michelle entered a room with a large obstacle course and looked around. The TV turned on and started playing music, which made Michelle turn to it. "Welcome to Statues," the man on the TV said. "This advanced obstacle course is designed to test your physical endurance and strength."
Michelle quietly stepped toward the gated entrance of the obstacle course as the TV showed an example video in a dark room. "The rules are simple," the man on the TV continued. "The lights will turn off; you can move through the obstacle course at this time."
Soon after, the example video showed the lights on. "However, when the lights turn on, you can look around but cannot move," the man on the TV said. "You may move again once the lights are off."
Michelle heard multiple steps, which made her blood run cold; she looked up, and her eyes widened when she saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar enter through a hole. "The lovable PJ Pug-A-Pillar will follow you; if PJ reaches you, your test is over," the man on the TV continued.
Michelle was nervous. "That's all; good luck," the man on the TV said before the screen turned off.
Mommy Long Legs entered the observation room. "It was always so sad to see the kids go," she said, which made Michelle look at her. "They called me Mommy because I was the closest thing they ever had to one."
Mommy Long Legs looked at Michelle. "But they'd come for games and never come back..." she continued. "They left Mommy to die alone; Mommy didn't deserve that. But when my little Misha appeared in my sights, Mommy was very happy..."
Mommy Long Legs looked down and pressed her fingers against the glass hard. "But then... when Poppy told my little Misha about the train code... Mommy was angry," she said as large cracks formed under it, which made Michelle flinch. "Poppy was trying to make you leave Mommy again."
Michelle was shocked and quickly shook her head. "Wait, that's not it; she was—" Mommy Long Legs angrily looked at her. "Silence!!"
Michelle froze in horror. "My little Misha will never leave Mommy's sight again!" Mommy Long Legs shouted. "Mommy will protect you, and no one will get in Mommy's way!!"
The gate opened a bit before the lights turned off, and music started playing, which made PJ Pug-A-Pillar move. Michelle sprinted through a colorful pathway. "All I have to do is get to the end," she said.
Michelle quickly stopped halfway through the pathway before the lights turned on; she heard multiple steps, which made her glance back. The lights turned off, which made Michelle sprint out of the colorful pathway.
When Michelle reached the top of the staircase of the glowing rings, the lights turned on, which made her stop. Michelle glanced back and saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar's head. "When he gets close to the rings, he'll climb on the poles holding them..." she said in a low voice.
When the lights turned off, Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at one of the farther rings and pulled the trigger; the green hand shot forward and grabbed it before she swung herself.
Michelle pulled the trigger, retracting the green hand back to her and landing in the styrofoam pit before the lights turned on.
Michelle looked at the arm cannons and noticed they were shaking before letting go of the handles and clenching her fists. "Keep it together, Misha..." she said in a low voice.
When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly ran through the styrofoam pit; near the floor, she stopped before the lights turned on.
When the lights turned off, Michelle got on the floor. "I'm not taking any chances," she said before sprinting toward the pipe with a sign that said 'Easy' on it.
Michelle quickly stopped before the lights turned on; she could hear multiple steps behind her, which terrified her. "I need to do this quickly," she said in a low voice.
When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly entered the pipe and moved inside. After Michelle reached the top of the slope, she stopped before the lights turned on. "I should be getting close to the end..." she said in a low voice.
The lights turned off, which made Michelle quickly go down the slope; near the opening, she stopped before the lights turned on. Michelle tried calming herself as she looked at the yellow platforms through the pipe. "I have to keep going," she said in a low voice.
When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly got out of the pipe and entered the blue pit before trying to move forward; she quickly stopped before the lights turned on.
Michelle glanced back and saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar get on the first yellow platform, which terrified her; the lights turned off, making her quickly move through the pit.
When Michelle was partially close to the floor, she stopped before the lights turned on. "One final stretch..." she said in a low voice.
When the lights turned off, Michelle quickly got on the floor before sprinting forward. However, freshly destroyed concrete blocked the exit, which made Michelle's eyes widen and quickly stop. "Oh shit!" she shouted. "What do I do now?!"
Michelle looked around. "Maybe I can find a handle to—" she stopped midsentence when she turned around and saw PJ Pug-A-Pillar quickly pounce toward her.
Michelle's eyes widened, and she let out a horrified scream as PJ Pug-A-Pillar tackled her to the ground.
Mommy Long Legs saw the scene in horror and covered her mouth. "No... no, no, no... this wasn't supposed to happen..." she said in a low voice before tears pricked her eyes, and she ran away.
