Michelle entered the room and stood at the center of the platform; three different large screens turned on, which made her wince and raise her right arm with the GrabPack's right arm cannon above her head.
After Michelle's eyes adjusted to the light, she lowered her right arm and looked at one of the screens as they turned purple and played music. "Welcome to Musical Memory," the man on the screen said.
The screens showed a brain diagram. "This advanced memory and cognitive recognition test is designed to stimulate several segments of the brain, allowing us to see how quickly and efficiently your brain works," the man on the screen continued.
Soon after, the screens showed an example video. "A sequence of colors will be shown, and you must recreate the exact sequence using the buttons around you," the man on the screen said.
Michelle heard a squeak coming from the tube, which surprised her and made her glance around.
When Michelle looked up, she saw a nervous Bunzo Bunny inside the tube, strapped in a harness suspended above her, which shocked her. "Bunzo will slowly lower towards you. When you complete a color pattern correctly, Bunzo will rise back up," the man on the screen said.
The example videos showed the Bunzo Bunny approaching the example person faster. "When you input a pattern incorrectly, Bunzo will lower towards you faster," the man on the screen continued. "If Bunzo reaches you, your test is over."
As Michelle examined Bunzo Bunny, she noticed he was trembling; soon after, she gently smiled at Bunzo Bunny. "Don't worry, little one... I'll find a way to keep you safe," she whispered.
Bunzo Bunny stared at Michelle with amazement before slowly nodding. "Thank you..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle nodded before looking at one of the screens. "The test will become more difficult as it continues with longer patterns and quicker succession," the man on the screen said before revealing a text that said 'Good Luck!' on it. "That's all; good luck!"
Soon after, the screens around Michelle went dark. "Oh! Isn't it amazing!" a female voice shouted, which surprised her.
Michelle turned her head to the source and saw Mommy Long Legs behind a dimly lit observation room above her. "Mommy hasn't seen the place up and running in years!" she shouted.
Mommy Long Legs looked at Michelle. "Mommy can only imagine how excited Bunzo must be," she continued.
Michelle looked at Bunzo Bunny as the harness lowered, which made him nervous. "It's been such a long time since he's been able to play... to cheer... to eat..." Mommy Long Legs said.
Michelle shivered a bit at the thought. "But don't you worry, my little Misha... Mommy won't let Bunzo eat you," Mommy Long Legs continued. "If he gets too close... Mommy will take care of him..."
Bunzo Bunny was terrified as the harness lifted him back up. "Now then, let the fun begin," Mommy Long Legs said.
Four panels with buttons on them appeared on Michelle's right side, which made her face them before they lit up four different colors: blue, red, green, and yellow. "I still have friends waiting for me..." she said in a low voice.
Michelle glanced at the bag of mini cookies. "So, there's no going back now," she continued before looking at the buttons, determined, and raising the arm cannons.
The screens around Michelle turned green. "Green," a robotic voice said.
Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the green button and pulled the trigger, launching the green hand; when it pressed the button, she heard children's voices on the screens happily shout 'Yay!' before they flashed different colors. "Green, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle aimed the left arm cannon at the green button and pulled the trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing it.
After the blue hand retracted, Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the yellow button and pulled the trigger, launching the green hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Green, yellow, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Green, yellow, red, blue," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Green, yellow, red, blue, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they made a happy jingle with cheering in the background. Michelle looked at the buttons. "That was only one round... I have to keep this up," she said.
The screens around Michelle turned yellow. "Round two," the robotic voice said. "Yellow."
Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the yellow button and pulled the trigger, launching the green hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Yellow, blue," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pulled the right arm cannon's trigger again, launching the green hand and pressing the yellow button before aiming at the blue button and pulling the trigger, launching it and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Yellow, blue, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily.
Soon after, a panel with a violet button appeared behind Michelle's right side, which made her glance at it as the screens flashed different colors. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red, red, violet," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they made a happy jingle with cheering in the background.
Michelle sighed in relief. "I didn't think I would have that... it was definitely cutting it close," she said in a low voice.
A panel with a white button appeared beside the panel with a yellow button, which made Michelle look at it as the screens turned white. "Round three," the robotic voice said. "White."
Michelle aimed the left arm cannon at the white button before pulling the trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "White, violet," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pulled the left arm cannon's trigger again, launching the blue hand and pressing the white button.
After the blue hand retracted, Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the violet button and pulled the trigger, launching the green hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "White, violet, green," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily.
A panel with an orange button appeared next to the panel with a blue button, which made Michelle glance at it as the screens flashed different colors. "White, violet, green, orange," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "White, violet, green, orange, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "White, violet, green, orange, red, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they made a happy jingle with cheering in the background.
Michelle tried to catch her breath. "How much longer do I have? I don't know if I can keep this up..." she said in a low voice.
The screens around Michelle turned blue. "Round four," the robotic voice said. "Blue."
Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the blue button and pulled the trigger, launching the green hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily.
A panel with a black button that had a 'J' on it appeared beside the panel with a white button, which made Michelle glance at it as the screens flashed different colors. "Blue, J," the robotic voice said.
Michelle aimed the left arm cannon at the blue button and pulled the trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing it before aiming the right arm cannon at the 'J' button and pulling the trigger, launching the green hand and pressing it, which made the screens cheer happily.
A panel with a black button that had a heart shape at the center appeared behind Michelle's left side, which made her look at it as the screens flashed different colors. "Blue, J, heart," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Blue, J, heart, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily.
A panel with a black button that had the pi symbol appeared between the panel with the violet button and the panel with the 'J' button, which made Michelle glance at it as the screens flashed different colors. "Blue, J, heart, yellow, pi," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they flashed different colors. "Blue, J, heart, yellow, pi, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order with the GrabPack's hands, which made the screens cheer happily before they made a happy jingle with cheering in the background.
Michelle looked around while trying to catch her breath. "Hopefully, this is the last one..." she said in a low voice.
Soon after, multiple panels with different buttons appeared all around Michelle, which made her eyes widen. "Oh, there's no way in hell..." she continued.
"Round five," the robotic voice said before the screens started flashing different colors and quickly naming different things.
Michelle stared at one of the screens, terrified. "I can't keep up with that..." she said in a low voice.
As Bunzo Bunny lowered down while clashing his cymbals, Michelle looked around. "What do I do?" she asked herself.
Soon after, Michelle saw a panel with a button that had an emergency symbol circling her before aiming the left arm cannon forward. "Gotta aim this right," she said.
When the emergency symbol was close, Michelle pulled the trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing it, which shut the machine down.
Bunzo Bunny was close to Michelle before the harness stopped. Michelle tried to catch her breath as she lowered the left arm cannon. "Oh... it broke..." Mommy Long Legs said, which made her look at her. "That's no fun..."
Mommy Long Legs smiled at Michelle. "For doing such a wonderful job, my little Misha... Mommy will give you part of the code for the train," she continued before putting her hand in a tube.
When Michelle looked up, she saw Mommy Long Legs's hand push Bunzo Bunny to the side a bit and hold out part of the train code to her.
Michelle grabbed the code piece, which made Mommy Long Legs pull her hand back up and pull out of the tube. "Mommy was hoping the game could last a little longer," she said. "It's OK, though... Mommy knows other ways to play with you."
Before Mommy Long Legs left, Michelle looked at her. "Wait a second, Mommy," she said.
Mommy Long Legs stopped before looking at Michelle. "What is it?" she asked.
Michelle looked at Bunzo Bunny. "What do you plan on doing with Bunzo?" she asked.
Mommy Long Legs tilted her head and hummed. "Well, he didn't hurt you, so... Mommy will bring him back up," she said, which scared Bunzo Bunny.
Michelle smiled. "I have a better proposal," she said, which made Mommy Long Legs look at her. "What if I take Bunzo with me?"
Mommy Long Legs stared at Michelle. "Now, why would my little Misha want to take Bunzo with her?" she asked.
Michelle looked at Bunzo Bunny. "Well... if I were under your care, it would probably be lonely," she said before looking at Mommy Long Legs. "But if I had Bunzo with me, I'd feel less lonely."
Mommy Long Legs hummed a bit in thought until she saw Michelle giving her puppy dog eyes and let go of the arm cannons' handles before holding her hands together. "Can I keep Bunzo? Pretty please, Mommy..." she said.
Mommy Long Legs cooed. "Oh, Mommy can't say no to my precious little Misha," she said. "Very well, Mommy will let Bunzo go with you."
The duo heard something snap before Bunzo Bunny fell, which made him scream. Michelle undid her hands and held her arms out before she caught Bunzo Bunny. "I got you," she said.
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle before tears pricked his eyes, and he wrapped his arms around her neck, trembling. "Thank you..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle smiled and petted Bunzo Bunny's back. "Now, Mommy will be waiting for you at Whack-A-Wuggy; see you soon..." Mommy Long Legs said before leaving the observation room.
A bridge appeared behind the duo, which made Michelle turn to it. "I'm guessing that will take me back to Huggy," she said.
Michelle placed her hands under Bunzo Bunny's arms before holding him out, smiling. "But I'm sure he can wait," she continued. "Right now, I'll worry about you."
Michelle gently placed Bunzo Bunny on the ground. "First things first, let's get that harness off you," she said.
As Michelle pulled her hands away from Bunzo Bunny, his legs wobbled before he collapsed on his back, which surprised her. "Are you OK?" she asked.
Bunzo Bunny nodded. "I'm OK," he said before slowly sitting up. "It's been a while since I stood on my legs."
Michelle knelt next to Bunzo Bunny. "I see..." she said before digging her right hand into her right pocket.
Soon after, Michelle pulled her Swiss Army knife out of her pocket. "It's a good thing I managed to hide this from the caretakers," she said before pulling the knife part out of it.
Michelle grabbed part of the harness and placed the blade under it before looking at Bunzo Bunny. "I need you to stay very still, Bunzo; I don't want to accidentally hurt you," she continued.
Bunzo Bunny nervously nodded as he stayed in place while Michelle moved the blade back and forth. Soon after, Michelle cut the harness strap, which made her smile. "Awesome!" she shouted before closing the knife.
After Michelle helped Bunzo Bunny get out of the harness, he stared at it. "I'm finally out of the harness..." he said in a low voice.
Michelle grabbed the bag of mini cookies off the GrabPack's hook before opening it. "And for being a good boy, you deserve this reward," she said.
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle, surprised. "But... isn't that important to you?" he asked.
Michelle smiled and held the bag of mini cookies out to Bunzo Bunny. "Don't worry; I've got plenty more in my bag," she said.
Bunzo Bunny smiled as he placed his cymbals on the ground before grabbing the bag of mini cookies with both of his paws. "Thank you," he said before pouring some of them into his mouth.
As Bunzo Bunny chewed the cookies in his mouth, Michelle looked at the train code piece, which featured icons of Bunzo Bunny, Kissy Missy, Cat-Bee, and Mommy Long Legs, before folding it in half. "I guess it's better than nothing..." she said before putting it and her Swiss Army knife in her right pocket.
After Bunzo Bunny finished eating the cookies, he placed the empty bag on the ground before grabbing his cymbals. "Now then," Michelle continued before placing her hands under his arms.
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle, surprised, as she lifted him and placed him on her shoulders before wrapping her arms around his legs. "I'll give you a piggyback ride so you don't have to use your legs," she said before standing up.
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle. "But don't you have to use your GrabPack with your hands?" he asked.
Michelle smiled at Bunzo Bunny. "If that happens, I'll use one of my hands when necessary," she said. "And if we're in a safe place with a puzzle, I'll set you on the ground."
Bunzo Bunny looked at Michelle in awe before smiling and nuzzling his cheek against hers. "Thank you, Big Sis Misha," he said.
Michelle froze as she remembered seeing a smiling little girl with brown hair. "Hi, Big Sister!" the little girl shouted.
Unbeknownst to Michelle, tears pricked her eyes; Bunzo Bunny looked at her, concerned. "Are you OK?" he asked.
Michelle flinched a bit before wiping her tears with her right arm. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine..." she said before smiling at Bunzo Bunny and facing the bridge. "Let's get out of here."
Bunzo Bunny nodded as Michelle walked forward as the shutter on the other side opened; when she stepped on the bridge, it suddenly broke, which surprised them as she slid down. After Michelle landed on the ground, she turned her head to Bunzo Bunny. "Are you OK?" she asked.
Bunzo Bunny nodded. "Good..." Michelle said before looking up. "I guess we'll be taking a longer route."
As Michelle looked around, she spotted a vent grille with a handle on the right side before approaching it. When Michelle was near the vent, she wrapped her left arm around Bunzo Bunny's legs before pulling her right arm away and grabbing the right arm cannon's handle.
Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the vent grille's handle before pulling the trigger; the green hand shot forward and grabbed it before she pulled the trigger again, pulling it open in the process.
After the green hand retracted back to Michelle, she let go of the arm cannon's handle and turned her head to Bunzo Bunny while approaching the vent opening. "I'll go first," she said. "You follow behind me, and I'll catch you once we get to the other room."
Bunzo Bunny nodded as Michelle placed her hand under his arms and picked him up. After Michelle placed Bunzo Bunny close to the vent opening, she crouched before entering it, which made him follow behind her.
