Good lordy this took way longer than it should of, but alas, it is finished.

AquamarineDolphins: Don't worry, Boris will warm up. But Wally and Boris are going to have mentor/student like relationship.

InvaderPeppermim: Oh this story's completed, it's just not written out yet!

Kitsuneotakugirl91: Joey's not the one they should be afraid of. They'll warm up to the creator in time!

Pink Fox Productions: I think we all want a little Bendy to cling to us, but I got Orio (my OC)

On with the horrors! I own nothing

Sammy always knew Henry was a father-type, he just never guessed that his first kids would be toons. He thought it was hilarious how Alice followed Henry everywhere and how Bendy was glued to his knee. So it wan't "if" they were coming home with the Brookes, it was "how." Henry's car could only fit two people. So the Brookes, the toons, Sammy, Joey, and Wally sat in the break room trying to construct a plan.

"Strap them to the roof and say they were roadkill." Sammy joked.

Alice frowned at that idea while Bendy cocked his head in confusion.

"Sure, we can just say that Bendy was a stray cat." Wally piped up. For an unknown reason, Boris flinched at the word "cat."

Linda rolled her eyes. "Any of you gooses have a real plan?"

"I could call my brother and he could give some of is a ride home-" Henry suggested before Joey cut him off.

"No! No no no no absolutely not. The fewer people who know about this the better."

"Uh, Joey, hate to break it ta ya but Bendy terrorized the entire music band earlier today." Sammy sneered.

Joey snapped his head in Sammy's direction. "What?!"

"Don't worry, boss, they all probably thought he was a cat." Sammy brushed him off.

Joey adjusted his seat out of nervousness. Henry noted how pale Joey had become today, and his shaking seemed to have gotten worse.

"You alright. Joey?" Henry asked.

Joey nodded, eyes fixed to the ground. "I just... I just can't believed this all worked."

"Yeah, neither can the rest of us. And I don't see anyone here piping up questions, so-" Sammy stood on his chair, towering over everyone. "Alright, Mr. Drew. First and foremost, how exactly are these toons alive? Second, was this one of your sparse-of-the-moment things or have you been planning this for awhile? Third-"

"I get your point, Sammy, you're all confused. I know this is kind of sudden, I was planning on revealing them all later, but they certainly proved a handful." Joey chuckled nervously as he straightened his tie. "But I want to assure you all that I have this under control, I've been preparing for this for quite some time, so no need to worry."

"Preparing for what? Bringing toons to life? Mista Drew, hadn't you heard of Frankinstien?" Wally snapped.

Just then Bendy stood up and began to stomp around on strait legs, arms out before him in a comical matter while his tongue hanged from his mouth.

"He knows Frankinstien?"Wally asked.

"How could he know that if he's only a day- Joey how long have these guys been alive?" Linda asked.

"Only today."

Linda tapped her finger on the table. "Then how do they know about-"

"Can we focus on the current situation here, folks?" Wally snapped.

Henry nodded in agreement. "You know, now that I think about it, maybe it's not a good idea for them to leave the studio just yet. They need time to adjust to things."

"Don't we all." Sammy mumbled. Outloud, he said, "Are you saying that we should just leave them here?"

Henry shook his head. "I was thinking we could all take shifts. One of us could spend the night with the toons until they're ready to go outside."

"Exactly what I was thinking, old pal!" Joey boomed. "How about I spend the first night, since I- uh..." Everyone noticed how Bendy had fallen asleep on Henry lap. The CEO realized how difficult it was going to be to separate them. "On second thought, how about the Brookes and I stay here?"

"No. I'm not spending the night here." Linda objected.

"Well, I normally stay here late anyway, but Linda's got a point..."

"So it's settled?" Joey piped up.

Henry sighed. "Linda, it you want to go home, then you can go home. But I don't think Bendy or Joey's gonna let me leave."

Linda stared at her husband in defeat. "...Fine. I'll stay too."

"No, honey, you don't have..."

"No, Henry. I'm staying too. Can't you have all the love." Linda smiled. "But I'll swing by the house to get some food and a change of clothes. I'm not feasting on Bacon soup tonight."

OOO

And so it was settled. Linda came back with two sleeping bags and spare blankets, as well as sandwiches, fruit, and green tea. Wally had to work late (again) and Sammy went home, so Wally, Joey, the toons and the Brookes had a mini picnic in Henry's office. Boris and Bendy were playing with the blankets while Alice quietly chewed her sandwich. Linda noticed how her body posture seemed curled in, as if she was nervous. She didn't blame her. The poor angel knew no one, but for someone born this morning she could already walk and eat. It was a bit... unnatural. Boris and Bendy, on the other hand, were very lively. Joey always tried to get Bendy's attention, but the little demon had a 5 second occupation span.

To Linda, this was all some weird dream. A few weeks ago she dreamed that Alice Angel was in that one Betty Boop episode where Betty fell into Hell by accident. She told Henry about it, and somehow the word got to Joey, and now Henry was currently animating it into an upcoming episode.

Linda didn't know the full plot of the episode, but she did know it had something to do with Bendy going to demon school in hell, and how Alice Angel was trying to sneak him out. To Linda, the episode seemed to hit close to home for her. It always felt like demons were trying to drag her and society down, and how angels have to come and barely pull them to safety. Especially since times were so rough right now.

"Well, I better be getting off," Wally said as he grabbed his hat. "Ya'll have a good evenin.'"

"You too, Wally. Now get outta here!" Henry teased, shooing him away.

After Wally left, Joey yawned. "I better be getting down to my office. I'll see you in the morning. And Bendy," Bendy looked up at his creator. "Remember to keep smiling, alright bud?" And with that Joey was out the door.

Henry gave tired smile. "You guys best be getting to bed. I'll join ya later."

"Please don't stay up too late again." Linda pleaded.

"Don't worry about me, love." Henry smiled.

The three toons snuggled under the blanket-made bed and Linda tucked them in. "You three rest good, okay? Don't be like daddy."

Henry's hand stopped mid-frame. He didn't turn around, but a small smile creeped on his lips. Daddy. He thought he'd never hear that name. Linda and Henry had wanted to be parents for so long, but they could barely provide for themselves. The two of them had promised that as soon as they can, they would multiply like rabbits. Work took up too much time, and thanks to the Great Depression they couldn't afford much, and yet it seemed like three little creatures were sent by storks, or in this case, summoned by ink. That thought made Henry frown.

How were they brought to life anyway?

OOO

Deep in the studio, Joey slowly opened his door and flicked on the light switch, only to find it broken.

Joey frowned. Looks like he'll have to call in Mr. Conner again. Joey stumbled over to his drawer to grab a few candles, but a silhouette sitting in his chair made him pause.

"I see that the toons were a success." The figure noted, it's voice sounding like Henry, but it had an ominous, an air to it, almost like it was hypnotically terrifying.

Joey straightened up. "I- yes. I-I wasn't expecting you back so soon."

The figure shrugged. "I'm going to be swinging by from time to time to make sure everything's going smoothly. Although..." It straitened up, "...I thought we weren't going to reveal them just yet."

Joey's palms became sweaty. "I-I tried, but as soon as Bendy and Boris came they both ran off and Henry-"

The figure stood up, banging its fists on the table. "I have no time for excuses, Mr. Drew! Do you not realize you almost jeopardized my plan?! You should be grateful that they all handled the situation well, or I might not be so merciful in the future." The figure growled lowly. "You said something about Henry?"

"I- yes. H-He..."

"Out with it!"

"H-He's bonded with them, mostly Bendy and Alice. Boris seems to like Wally, and Linda likes them as well."

It sat back down, sighing. "Anyone else know?"

"Sammy, and the rest of the musicians, so I've heard."

"I see." It said coldly. "I'll keep a third eye on them, especially Henry. The guy may be old-schooled with a religious nut for a wife, but he's just what I need to keep our plan afloat. If he likes the toons, he's more likely to stick around. I can't afford him leaving."

"But what if he finds out about this? He'll quit on the spot, and Linda will get an exo-"

"I don't give a damn, Drew. From my experience people are drawn to ease. Up his pay, give him benefits, whatever it takes. Above all, don't let him know anything until he's comfortable, and I'll decide when that is."

"Why do you need Henry?" Joey asked.

The figure gave a slight chuckle. "Don't worry, my friend, no harm's gonna come to him, just keep him happy, and I'll make sure everyone knows the names of Bendy and Joey Drew."

Authoress' note: What do you want from Henry, Mr. Mysterious-Villain-Who-Only-Appears-In-The-Shadows?! Are you Walt Disney? Darth Vader?! (Gasp!) I know who you are! You're Elmer Fud!

Evil Guy: ... Not even close.

Authoress: Nuts. Anywho, make sure you follow, favorite, and review, and keep a lookout for any more Bendy news! (I heard something about a pickaxe... Anyone know about that?)
