As Michelle stood on the platform, the area lit up, which made her cover her eyes a bit. Soon after, the room started playing tutorial videos on different screens, and Michelle looked at one of them. "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 same sequence using the buttons around you," the man on the screen said. Michelle heard a squeak, which surprised her and made her look up.
Michelle was shocked when she saw a nervous Bunzo Bunny strapped in a harness. "Bunzo will slowly lower towards you. When you complete a color pattern correctly, Bunzo will rise back up," the man on the screens 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 screens continued. "If Bunzo reaches you, your test is over."
As Michelle examined Bunzo Bunny, she noticed he was trembling. Michelle 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, lowly.
Michelle nodded before looking at the screen. "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 reading 'Good Luck!'. "That's all; good luck!"
Soon after, the screens went dark. "Oh! Isn't it amazing!" Michelle turned her head to the source and saw Mommy Long Legs behind an observation room above her. "Mommy hasn't seen the place up and running in years!"
Mommy Long Legs looked at Michelle. "Mommy can only imagine how excited Bunzo must be," she continued.
Michelle looked at a nervous Bunzo Bunny as the harness lowered. "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. "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 scared as the harness lifted him. "Now then, let the fun begin," Mommy Long Legs said before hiding away. Michelle looked forward as four different-colored panels appeared before her. "I still have friends waiting for me..." she said, lowly.
Michelle glanced at the bag of cookies. "So there's no going back now," she continued before looking forward determinedly. The screen before Michelle lit up. "Green," a robotic voice said. Michelle pulled the left trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing the green button.
Soon after, small voices on the screen happily shouted 'Yay!' before the screen flashed different colors. "Green, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the green button with the blue hand and then the yellow button with the green hand, making the screen happily cheer.
Three different colors appeared. "Green, yellow, red," the robotic voice said. Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer again before showing another pattern. "Green, yellow, red, blue," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing a longer pattern. "Green, yellow, red, blue, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before making a happy jingle. Michelle looked at the panels. "That was only one round... I have to keep this up," she said.
The screen lit up. "Round two," the robotic voice said. "Yellow." Michelle pulled the right trigger, launching the green hand and pressing the yellow button, which made the screen cheer. "Yellow, blue," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the yellow button and then the blue button with the green hand, which made the screen cheer. "Yellow, blue, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen happily cheer. Soon after, a different panel appeared behind Michelle, which made her glance at it. "Yellow, blue, yellow, red, red, violet," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before letting out a happy jingle. Michelle sighed in relief. "I didn't think I would have that... it was definitely cutting it close," she said, lowly.
Another panel appeared beside her, which made Michelle look at it. "Round three," the robotic voice said. "White."
Michelle pulled the left trigger, launching the blue hand and pressing the white button, which made the screen cheer. "White, violet," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the white button with the blue hand and then the violet button with the green hand, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "White, violet, green," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer. Another panel appeared, which made Michelle glance at it. "White, violet, green, orange," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "White, violet, green, orange, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing a longer pattern. "White, violet, green, orange, red, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before letting out a happy jingle. Michelle tried catching her breath. "How much longer do I have? I don't know if I can keep this up..." she said, lowly.
The screen lit up. "Round four," the robotic voice said. "Blue." Michelle pulled the right trigger, launching the green hand and pressing the blue button, which made the screen happily cheer.
A different panel appeared behind Michelle, which made her glance at it. "Blue, J," the robotic voice said. Michelle pressed the blue button with her blue hand and then the 'J' button with her green hand, which made the screen happily cheer.
A different panel appeared beside Michelle, which made her look at it. "Blue, J, heart," the robotic voice said. Michelle pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "Blue, J, heart, yellow," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer. A different panel appeared beside Michelle, which made her glance at it. "Blue, J, heart, yellow, pi," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before showing another pattern. "Blue, J, heart, yellow, pi, red," the robotic voice said.
Michelle quickly pressed the buttons in order, which made the screen cheer before letting out a happy jingle. Michelle looked around. "Hopefully, this is the last one..." she said, lowly.
Soon after, panels appeared above Michelle, which made her eyes widen. "Oh, there's no way in hell..." she continued.
"Round five," the robotic voice said before it started quickly naming different things. Michelle was terrified. "I can't keep up with that..." she said, lowly. 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 an emergency symbol circling her before aiming forward. "Gotta aim this right..." she said.
When the emergency symbol was close, Michelle pulled the left 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 catching her breath as she looked around. "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 go through the tube 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. "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 until Michelle gave her puppy dog eyes. "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 caught Bunzo Bunny in her arms. "I got you," she said. Bunzo Bunny wrapped his arms around Michelle's neck. "Thank you..." he said, lowly.
Michelle smiled. "Now, Mommy will be waiting for you at Whack-A-Wuggy; see you soon..." Mommy Long Legs said before leaving the observation room.
A pathway appeared beside the duo, which made Michelle look at it. "I'm guessing that will take me back to Huggy," she said. Michelle held Bunzo Bunny out and smiled. "But I'm sure he can wait," she continued. "Right now, I'll worry about you."
Michelle gently placed Bunzo Bunny on the ground. "Let's get that harness off you," she said. As Michelle removed her hands, Bunzo Bunny's 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 through her right pocket.
Soon after, Michelle pulled out her Swiss Army knife. "It's a good thing I managed to hide this from the caretakers," she said before pulling the knife part out.
Michelle grabbed part of the harness before putting the blade under it. "I need you to stand 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 her knife back and forth. Soon after, Michelle cut the harness strap, which made her smile. "Awesome!" she shouted before closing the knife part.
Soon after, Bunzo Bunny got the harness off him. "I'm finally out of the harness..." he said, lowly. Michelle grabbed the bag of cookies off her GrabPack before opening them. "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. "Don't worry; I've got plenty more in my bag," she said.
Bunzo Bunny smiled as he let go of his cymbals and grabbed the bag of cookies. "Thank you," he said before pouring some of them into his mouth.
As Bunzo Bunny chewed the cookies, Michelle looked at the train code piece, which featured icons of Bunzo Bunny, Kissy Missy, Cat-Bee, and Mommy Long Legs. "I guess it's better than nothing..." she said before putting the code and her Swiss Army knife in her pocket.
After Bunzo Bunny finished eating the cookies, he grabbed his cymbals. "Now then," Michelle continued before putting her hands under his arms.
Bunzo Bunny was surprised as Michelle lifted him and carried him on her back, wrapping her arms under him. "I'll give you a piggyback ride so you don't have to use your legs," she said.
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 down."
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 Michelle, 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. "Let's get out of here." Bunzo Bunny nodded as Michelle walked forward.
When Michelle got on the platform, it suddenly broke, which surprised the duo as they slid down. When 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, which made her approach it.
Michelle adjusted a bit before pulling the right trigger. The green hand grabbed the vent handle before opening it.
Michelle turned her head to Bunzo Bunny. "I'll go in first," she said. "You follow behind me, and I'll catch you once we get to the end." Bunzo Bunny nodded as Michelle placed him close to the vent before entering it, making him follow behind her.
