I admit this is an old AU related oneshot that I never finished but decided to dust off and finish for this art challenge. So there is an OC in here I have yet to introduce! Inspired by some nostalgic Friendship is Magic type vibes.

Night of the Mini-Huggies

Bobby Bearhug and Dogday sat in the cozy lounging area of Bears & Biscuits, the low hum of the bakery’s hanging lights casting a golden glow over the room. The warmth of the ovens in the back still lingered in the air.  It was a quiet comfortable evening shared between friends. Dogday leaned back in his chair, trying to hold back a grin  as he recounted his latest adventures as a park ranger.

“I swear, those Twiggies are getting bolder every season,” he said, shaking his head in mock exasperation. “One minute, they’re just dangling from branches, pretending to mind their own business, and the next thing you know, they’ve made off with my entire sandwich stash!”

Bobby smirked, her arms crossed as she leaned forward. “Sounds like they’ve figured out you’re an easy mark. I mean, you’ve probably handed them a sandwich with a bow on it.”

“Hey now,” Dogday shot back, laughing as he nudged her arm. “I might be generous, but they’re clever. I caught one of them stashing my sandwich in a hollow tree. It looked at me with those shiny little button eyes, like it was daring me to take it back. But I don’t blame them,” he paused to take a bite out of a cinnamon roll he’d been munching on.

“Even out in Glowshade, your bread’s got a reputation. You’re a legend among campers and Twiggies alike.”

A soft blush rose to Bobby’s cheeks, and she glanced away, fiddling with the edge of her sweater. “Business has been good lately,” she said, her voice thoughtful. “I’ve been thinking about adding something new to the menu. Maybe savory pies—something warm and filling for those who stop by later in the day.”

She looked back at him, her expression curious. “What do you think? Something hearty…lliiike…”

Before Bobby could finish, a sudden scraping noise interrupted their conversation. It wasn’t loud, but it cut through the stillness like fingernails on glass. Bobby’s brows furrowed, her warm expression shifting to the display window.

“Did you hear that?” she asked softly, her grip tightening on her teacup.

A sudden darkness fell over the room. The lights in the bakery flickered, then went out entirely, leaving them in near complete darkness.

“Oh… that’s odd,” Bobby murmured, glancing around. “I’ll get the flashlight.”

As she turned to search for a light source, Dogday felt an uncomfortable chill creep up his spine. He moved to the window, peering out into the now completely darkened street. 

Across the way, he thought he caught a glimpse of movement—a shadow shifting unnaturally across the roof of The Leaf and Bean. Then another flicker of motion, this time on the building opposite, Bright & Shine Laundry. Something thin and gangly skittered in and out of sight. He squinted, his eyes adjusting to the faint glow. Some of the streetlamps were still on but even their light was dim, barely catching the glint of large, round eyes staring back.

A soft scratching sound grew louder, filling the silence.

“Uh… Bobby,” Dogday’s voice was low. He could barely hold back a growl. “We’ve got… something outside.”

Bobby joined him at the window with a flashlight, her breath hitching when she saw the creatures. Five or six of them now, all with large, unblinking eyes and bright red lips that stretched into unnatural grins. Their  teeth, sharp but not large, glinted like needles under the starlight..

“What… what are they?!” Bobby asked, her voice a mixture of disbelief and rising fear.

But before Dogday could answer, a loud crash shattered the silence. The front display window erupted inward as a tall figure hurled itself through the glass, landing with a rupturing thud. Cakes and pies spilled and splattered. Bobby’s scream tore through the air as she stumbled back, the flashlight clattering to the floor.

“Run!” Dogday shouted, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the back of the bakery as more of the creatures scrambled through the broken window with eerie giggles. They could hear the things tearing through the shop, overturning tables and scattering chairs to pieces as they closed in, relentless laughter echoing through the darkness.

Dogday and Bobby sprinted through the kitchen chased by an explosive cloud of flour and spices.  The sound of furniture crashing behind them as the creatures closed the distance, giggling and clawing through Bobby’s carefully arranged kitchen. Red lips pulled into grins as everything that wasn’t bolted down, crashed to the floor.

Dogday pushed open the back exit, but as they stepped out, one of them appeared from the shadows. It watched  the pair with intense dilated interest. Bobby raised a rolling pin she had managed to grab before the exit door had clicked shut behind them. 

“What do you want?” she asked, her voice fearful yet firm.  Teeth flashing, it  ignored her and leapt for Dogday. But  Bobby got in front, raising her rolling pin and swinging it with all her strength, the impact sending the creature reeling back.

Another one slipped past, its sharp teeth sank into her leg. Bobby shouted in pain, but Dogday was there in an instant. 

“Get off of her!”  He’d grabbed a knife, and he slashed the creature off her. With a desperate kick, he sent it tumbling away. There wasn’t even time to check her injury, as the small horde of monsters started beating at the door their backs were pressed to.

Think Dogday. Think!  

The alley had a few dimmed lights hanging along the edges, the creatures avoided them as best they could as they skittered around towards them. And when Bobby had raised the flashlight to the glass, for a split second they had scattered.

“Head for the streetlights, Bobby! They don’t like the light!”

They staggered into the open street, bathed in the dim light of an old lamppost. 

It was just bright enough.  

For a moment, it felt like safety, but the creatures circled around, playing with the idea, lingering at the edges of the light, their wide eyes reflecting in the dark as they watched, waiting.

Just as the Mini Huggies began to advance, two beams of strong, white light cut through the night, forcing the creatures back with startled screeches.

“Back! Back off, you creeps.” A low gravelly voice hissed across the courtyard.

The gangly monsters scattered as Catnap trudged forward, holding a heavy-duty flashlight in one hand, the other stuffed into the pocket of his oversized hoodie. His intense angry  gaze followed the creatures as they retreated.

Beside him stood a small lion critter, chin high like she ruled the night. Deep blue fur, a wild mane glowing turquoise and violet, and a fancy coat covered in strange, shimmering symbols. Too big on her, but she wore it like she was ten feet tall. Dogday and Bobby Bearhug blinked in astonishment.

"Princess Aurory?!"

“Yeah, you better run!” Princess Aurory declared, flicking her tufted tail. “You DARE creep into my kingdom? FOOLS!”

She stomped a foot dramatically, her eyes glowing with a hint of royal pride.

The creatures hissed, their shadows curling away from the glow of the streetlamp.

Catnap’s tail twitched as he  watched them slink off, then he yawned.

“Y’all alright?” he asked, rubbing one eye as if he’d just rolled out of bed.

Bobby, still catching her breath, leaned on Dogday, nodding as relief washed over her.

“Thanks to you two. Those… things just came out of nowhere!”

Catnap muttered, sweeping the flashlight beam across the street, making sure they were gone. “Let's get to the hospital while they’re gone.

“Thankyou, Catnap.” Dogday looked at Princess Aurory, gratitude in his eyes. “Couldn’t have been better timing.”

Aurory puffed up proudly, swishing her fluffy tail.

“Well, OBVIOUSLY. A true princess is NEVER late—” she turned, dramatically tossing her thick mane “—she arrives precisely when she means to.”

Catnap sighed. “She heard me mention a ‘rescue mission’ and wouldn’t let me leave without her.”

Princess Aurory huffed. “And a GOOD THING I CAME!”

Her proud stance faltered, though, as her eyes landed on the shattered bakery window. The glow of her fur dimmed slightly.

“Third time in a month,” Catnap murmured, voice dropping. His sleepy gaze met Dogday’s with quiet conviction.

“They’re hunting for something.”

Dogday and Bobby exchanged a glance, both of them feeling the weight of his words.

“Or someone,” Dogday muttered. “But all I care about right now is Bobby and her leg.”

He shifted more of her weight onto himself, even though she protested.

“I’m fine, Dogday, it didn’t bite deep.”

“It bit you, Bobby. I don’t want you to get rabies. Or whatever it might have been carrying!”

“Car’s this way.” Catnap ushered them to where his old beat up car was parked.

And this time, Bobby didn’t argue.

End.

Note: Twiggies are like little clockwork squirrels.

The order in which each one of the Poppy Playtime's toys called Angel/Player dad or mom, either if it was an accident or intentional on their part:

Bunzo. Boy is rescued after the minigame and IMMEDIATELY goes "mom? 🥺" at Angel. They gently tell them that they are not their parent.

Huggy. He cant speak but he makes a sound similar to "mom" when Angel is facing off against Mommy Long Legs

Mini huggies, because if their big brother is doing that then they should also do it! Which once again prompts Bunzo to go "mom!" at Angel once again.

PJ Pug-a-Pillar follows suit, trying to make a sound similar to "dad" at Angel.

Dogday! It was by pure accident, though, and it happened when they were running around Playcare.

Kissy follows suit by intentionally using ASL to refer to Angel as "dad" when they were taking care of her.

Miss Delight refers to Angel first as "the parent" after Catnap's defeat and forced time out. She's hesitant to refer to them as her parent, though, but she wants to do that so badly.

The mini critters all go "MOM MOM MOM MOM" thanks to Huggy, Bunzo and the mini huggies.

Mommy Long Legs mockingly calls Angel "father". Two hours later she legitmately calls them dad, then pretends she didnt.

Catnap is the last one to do that, kinda by accident, kinda intentionally. He refers to Angel as "mother" because everyone else is doing that as they confront the Prototype, but much like Miss Delight he doesn't refer to them as his mother.

The Prototype refer to Angel as both "the Mother" and "the Father" to the other toys during and after the confrontation.

Poppy, ironically or not, is the last one to refer to Angel as a parent, and only after everyone is outside waiting for the authorities to come. She simply says "thank you for saving us... Dad" and falls asleep.

Most of the other toys start referring to Angel as either mom or dad. One of the mini critters however decides to use "boss" and now they sometimes jokingly use that.

Dogday intentionally refers to Angel as his parent some weeks after the rescue. Angel at this point just accepts they cant escape from the accidental parenthood.

Miss Delight also does that when Dogday starts doing so.

Mommy takes a while to be intentional. She normally uses "mom", "mother" and "big mom", and is almost always super reluctant in doing so.

Catnap is the last one, and he switches back and forth between "savior" and "mother". Never "father", though, that title is for another grumpy parent of his.

Player starts thinking of themself as a parent only a year or two later, once their guilt starts becoming smaller than their happiness.

In the TFP X Poppy Playtime Crossover, RID2015 EDITION, what would happen if the episode "Lockout" took place when the rescued toys where staying in the scrapyard?

At one hand a lot of them could offer secret support if they act like toys and sabotage Steeljaws equipment.

On the other some could end up as hostages or be forced to back down when the Decepticons threaten Denny or Russel.

When you consider how dangerous the factory was, all the toys trust their instincts the moment something feels wrong. Thus a mix of pretend(small toys) and hiding(Bigger Bodies) kept the Decepticons unaware about the new additions to the Scrapyard. Like I mentioned before, everyone been told about Steeljaw's group alongside what to do if they're nearby.

However no one was going to abandon Denny, Fixit and Russel. Thus a plan is made with some inspiration from a few horror movies. Mini Huggies causing a distraction to draw away Thunderhoof and Underbite as those two are important for it to work.

Poppy used her doll like features to stall Steeljaw by proclaiming she's another prisoner who had her mind imprisoned inside a doll. Catnap alongside Dogday lured Fracture as he would see through her ruse. Bunzo alongside some of the other small toys went to free Russel, Denny and Fixit.

PJPugapillar freaked the fuck outta Clampdown so the Minicon can regain control of the system. The toys know they can't keep Steeljaw and Fracture clueless for too. Soon the two Decepticons would attack so why not even the playing field?

By that I mean Kissy Missy and Mommy Longlegs puppeting Thunderhoof alongside Underbite around rodeo style. The Autobots were very fucking confused at the sight except Drift who was impressed. Especially when the girls sent the larger Cons straight into Steeljaw and Fracture.

All the toys skedaddled once the cavalry arrived as their plan was a success. Despite the massive spark attack Bumblebee had, it's obvious he was very proud of them for a job well done. The group will have to be extra careful since the Pack now knows about the toys.

[hiwelcometothemonstersancturary]

I’m highly curious to see what everyone's reaction to seeing snow and or playing with it is like. Snow ball fights, building snow man, drinking hot coco, etc.

Sorry for taking so long to respond! Anyways, here's how all the rescued toys would react to seeing snow for the first time:

First things first! They're rescued when it's still autumn, so when snow arrives, Angel is still living with them on the small house, and not the future farm.

Catnap and Dogday were talking outside the house, during the early hours of the night, when they noticed something white falling from the sky. They were really young when they last saw snow, so they both panicked and called Angel. They came outside, holding Bunzo, and said "oh, it's the first snow of the year".

Almost all the toys tried to eat snow at first before Angel asked them to NOT do that. They watched as everyone went outside to see it.

Bunzo was fascinated. Jumping non-stop while pointing at it and going "it's raining white!". Delight explained to him what that was, but she was very distracted staring at the skies as well.

In a way, this was a sign of hope and real change for the kids, just like experiencing rain for the first time was. Delight cried a bit as the realness of the situation sunk in.

The following day, Angel took the toys outside. And, oooh, boy.

Bunzo, the mini wuggies and critters, Huggy, PJ and Boxy Boo were screaming and jumping non-stop. Other smaller toys joined them, rolling in the snow in excitement.

Dogday likes digging snow. He thinks it's relaxing, despite Kickin annoying him about it. And speaking of which, Kickin was still on his "I'm not going to show any feelings" phase, so he tried to pretend he wasn't mesmerized by the snow.

Bubba and Delight were looking at snowflakes to see if they really weren't equal to each other. Marie and Kickin ended up joining them out of curiosity.

Catnap spent some time trying to make sense of the snow, until Angel showed him how to build a snowman. Picky, Bobby and Crafty joined them, making little snow sculptures.

Poppy never actually liked snow all that much, but at this point in time she's absolutely thriving. REALLY wants to go ice skating as soon as possible, but for now she's making snow angels... And then decides to get Kissy to hit Huggy with a snowball.

Hoppy, who was watching over the younger ones, immediately saw this and, as the responsible one, threw a snowball at Poppy. The situation became an all-out war between everyone, with Hoppy being the main culprit into getting others to join them.

Somehow, no one could defeat Angel. Truly a king.

After that, Angel made everyone hot cocoa. They do NOT like the cold, mind you, but the kids seem so happy, they can't complain.

The following year, when everyone is at the farmhouse and it starts snowing, they keep on making family-wide snowball fights. No one is safe from Hoppy and Kickin. Except Angel because, again, they're pretty good at dodging things, and Long Legs, girl is a MONSTER, but outside of her NO ONE is safe.

Dogday helps Angel a lot to make sure the house is protected from the cold, but then Kickin and Hoppy drag him away so he can have "fun".

(he has so much fun hiding things in the snow for others to find)

The Prototype is also there by that point. He's indifferent to the cold, but he likes making snow sculptures. As time goes by and his relationship with the family gets better, he ends up joining the snowball fights. He always ends up on the floor while everyone swarms him.

Angel ALWAYS forces everyone to wear way more jackets than what they need. They may be from Brazil's south region but they do not TOLERATE snow-level temperatures. Unfortunately this means that two/three years post-rescue, the Prototype becomes Angel go-to guy when everyone is outside because he's surprisingly warm on his fleshy area. Angel just stays next to him trembling and is like "God I fucking hate this weather", and Proto is just "then go inside...?", only for Angel to eye him. They are NOT missing the chance to see the kids happy, okay?

[hiwelcometothemonstersancturary]

If they live in area with hurricane and tornadoes how do they react

I'll be honest: I have no idea how USA geography works. I'm a brazilian girlie, we don't have hurricanes or tornadoes, but my amazing partner unfortunately went through a hurricane or two and all I have to say is that Angel AND the toys have a very similar "what the FUCK is the weather up to now" reaction.

Angel first calmly explains to the group what a hurricane is - Miss Delight probably helps, cheerfuly doing a beautiful explanation for all of them -, then asks everyone to keep calm when the storm arrives. Reassures them everything will be alright but internally they're thinking "why the heck did I move from Brazil to here".

I like to think all the toys help Angel organize things pre-hurricane! Some toys go with them to the grocery store, others stay to grab blankets and prepare the electronics for the storm, Catnap and Prototype make sure to patrol the area and check with Miss Delight and Bubba for any possible damages to the house, etc. Angel is just a ball of stress because they're a parent but they can handle that.

Dogday, Picky, Bobby, Bunzo, Boxy and Kissy probably have the worst time. Dogday has excellent hearing and the whole situation makes him go "the world outside is ENDING even though it's NOT ENDING", while the others are just scared. Bunzo probably heard Miss Delight speaking about what hurricanes can do to houses and is just "what if..... What if the house FALLS APART.... And we all DIE????", poor baby. Kickin meanwhile is pretending to be all cool but he refuses to leave Dogday and Hoppy's side no matter what.

The other minis, small toys + PJ Pug-a-Pillar i think are a mixed bag of scared but not terrified like the previous toys. I hc most of the toys are between 13-19, so they are more chill and can come up with really fun ideas for games when the power goes out. Crafty and Mommy Long Legs come up with a lot of fun games to keep everyone entertained!

Catnap, Hoppy and Poppy are wary. They helped Angel set everything up, but Catnap still fears something will go wrong with their food. Hoppy is just wary in general, and Poppy fears something unexpected happening, but tries keeping her cheerful tone.

Huggy doesn't seem to mind anything but Angel has to tell him to NOT scare poor Bunzo.

Miss Delight and Bubba need to stay in the same room as everyone because there's a 50/50 chance they'll decide to go outside to "see it for themselves how the thing works". They're SO excited when it happens the first time!

Prototype, however, has to be allocated from his hut to the main house. Angel makes sure he's on his own confined room and covered head to toe in blankets because they're afraid he'll attract lighting. Catnap takes turns with Angel to check in on him, and when night arrives some of the younger toys rush towards Prototype because he's big and scary and will surely protect them from the storm (he can't but okay). Catnap sleeps next to the Smiling Critters in order to "protect" them (read: Dogday can't sleep so he keeps him company).

I like to think everyone sleeps in a big cuddle pile in the living room, after eating some snacks and Angel reads them a book. Miss Delight and Dogday help with making sure the youngest are asleep before checking in on Angel, who's half-asleep while Long Legs is using them as a teddy bear.

Overall I think Angel handles things pretty well when it happens! It feels better than dealing with THAT all alone. My Angel has a fear of floods, so you can imagine how stressful a hurricane or a tornado can be for them.
