"So... What time do the kids normally get here?"
"5 Minutes! On the table is a bunch of stuffs for you to fill out through the day!" He clapped his hands together.
"Oohhhkkaaayyy.."

You went to the desk looking through the pile of papers, You looked through the schedule, there was one thing, That looked crossed out harshly. It was scheduled for 12:30pm.

You decided to ignore it, And flipped the page. It was a check-off, On how Sun was behaving. Probably so they know he's staying in proper working order.

And the last few pages, Was health notes for the children. Like allergies, Health problems, Ages, And guardian names.

You turned your head, to find Sun cleaning up the place a bit. And setting out a bunch of crafts supplies on a table.

You let out a sigh, Leaning against the desk, And Reading more about the kids. On the back of one of the information sheets, There was something for attendance. Which makes a lot of sense.

You remember reading reviews on this place, Before you applied, And you saw a few 'old staff' complaining on how 'Touchy' and 'Energetic' this animatronic is.
But, You don't think there is any reason for them to get mad at this.

For one, He is a daycare attendant, So being energetic is already a must-have, And kids need a lot of attention, And physical care. They feel more protected and safe that way.

And, Him being like that, Is probably an act for the kids. He hasn't been ether with you at all. The only time you made contact, Is when he picked you off the floor. And you didn't talk a lot after that. And yet, It's only been a couple minutes.

You hold your breath as you hear chattering from above the slide. You watch as Sun perks up, And runs back up the balcony.

A crowd of little- Kid minions, Flooded down the slide. Splashing about the ball pit.

Thank goodness I avoided that. Kind of gross..

Then Sunny made his grand appearance. Flipping open the curtains. And doing a fancy spin. "HOHOHO!" This made the kids cheer, some pointing up towards him, others waving their hands in the air.

He did a fancy jump down, That would probably kill a real person, And he proceeds to jump out of the pit, a couple of kids in his arms.
You held a small smile, and sit back on a chair, Checking off kids names, By identifying them with the photos provided.

And when you finish, You start to cover the page in a couple doodles.
You were only an assistant, But the job said nothing about taking care of kids. Besides, the kids barely noticed you there.
It was like you were invisible!

...
Is that a good thing?
It doesn't matter, at least the kids aren't hoarding at you. Who knows where their grabby little hands have been?

β€”
Apparently when Sun said, 'He won't overwork me'. It seems like he really meant it. Because you've been sitting on the chair for 3 hours, And yet you haven't been asked to-do a single task. Ooorrrr, He was avoiding you.
Makes sense,

I avoid myself all the time.

You didn't really care, You were being paid hourly for checking things off, And playing 'Brain-Out!' On your phone.

You didn't at all care that you weren't making any kind of 'bond' with your co-worker, Honestly, You didn't really care.
It isn't like you'll be working here in a couple months. This is just to make some money, Before you could find a better career.

But... Making some new friends.. Might be nice. You don't really want to spend months all alone.
That'd be pretty shitty.

You heard soft knocking, On the big wooden doors beside you. That you would be sure to enter through, Next time.
You looked back, Making eye-contact with Sun. He tilts his head slightly. Looking at the door, Then back at you. Before getting dragged off by another aged fetus, who wanted to show him a crappy drawing.

Hm. A way to tell me, 'open the door, Lazy ass.' Without being within a 10 feet range, And Without saying a word. Fun.
You thought to yourself, as you made your way to the doors.

You opened the door, And saw a female on the other side, Rocking back and fourth on her feet.
She was dressed rather.. Childish? Had her hair in two pigtails, Which were held by short, black, Ribbons. Her hair was short, She had a 'red, Hazel, Black.' Theme, Going on.
And though she dressed like a kid, And, By one look, Probably acts one. You could tell she was in her middle 20's.

Well, Just because she looks immature, The style matched. Andddd, I guess I'll rate her overall looks a 7.6/10.
"Hey Hey! Uhm- So- Didn't really think this through- I just wanted to say hello to the new worker! I- Work over with the glamrocks.. We ARE the only two robot assistants in the building, So I wanted to introduce myself!"
"Ah.. That's- Very nice of you. I'm Y/n. And- I also didn't know the whole gang only had one assistant...?"
"I'm Aria! Nice to meet ya! Ooohhh.. Yes! Thats because they don't really need it- That's why I'm able to be here! They currently have a performance!"

She held out a hand, And you gave it a shake. She continues to speak.
"Oh gosh.. You must get lonely in here..! How has Sun been treating you? I know he's a little.. much. Sometimes."

"Treating me? Well, We shared like- 3 sentences. That's it. Not much else I can say."
"Really? Damn Dude. I didn't suspect Sun to be shy around YOU. Hm.. actually, Nevermind. You seem like the kind of person he'd enjoy."
"Shy? He doesn't seem 'shy' to me?"
"Well- Normally when He's nervous around someone, he talks to them a bit, and proceeds to find excuses to not talk to them anymore."
"What."
"Yeah, I know right?"
You looked over at Sun, And gave him a him a glance. When he saw you, He stared for a bit, Then searched the room, Running off to some kid.

Then you look back at the girl. And she shrugged. "Yeah, He's avoiding me."
"He didn't act like that towards me- but.. Then AGAIN, You are his assistant, And he might just be scared to chase you away- I mean- He doesn't really know anything about you, Or what you're comfortable with."
"I guess."
"KIDS- Kids are easy to read. Not grown ass adults." She crossed her arms.
β€”

You two stayed talking, For about 5 more minutes, Before she needed to get back to work. That morning you felt starved of conversation, so it was kinda nice.

You let out a sigh, I guess... this job might just make me more alone then I thought.

Lovely.
