-Prologue: A Box Of Smiling Critters-

Clouds hovered above. Sunlight hidden. Coolness breezing softly. Leafs falling in gentle swift. Houses stood. Old folk sitting out, resting and enjoying gentle breeze that flowed softly. Birds chirped from their nesting. Cars driven by. Parking or heading away. A woman walked along, gripping her cane. A basket on her other arm. Moving along her path.

Market Worker: "Hello Miss Y/n!"

Y/n: "Good Morning Timmy. Got some Vegetables for me?"

Timmy: "Yes ma'am. Right here for ya."

Timmy brings up a small wooden box. Filled with Vegetables to Y/n's liking. Smiling with a gaze of thoughtfulness.

Y/n: "These look lovely Timmy. How much for these?"

Timmy: "Well since half of them were crooked. It'll just be six dollars."

Y/n: "Are you certain Timmy? I can pay fully."

Timmy: "No need. Those that grow crooked don't sell well. Better give them up so they get wasted or worse rotten."

Y/n: "Alright Timmy. Thank you so much. Are your parents doing ok?"

Timmy: "Yep Ma is getting better thankfully and Pops is still working hard."

Y/n: "That's good. Have a well day Timmy."

Timmy: "You too Miss Y/n good luck with those designs."

Y/n waved her hand. Returning back to her path. Going further down. Chattering coursing. School bells rung as children prepared to head home for the day with their parents awaiting. Humming a soft tune. Sunlight appeared for a second before disappearing once more. Flowers bloomed, dancing slightly from winds. Petals falling off some. While others still grew. H/l shifting across her back. Inhaling, exhaling. Cats moving around freely. Meowing. Y/n hummed again. Feeling a gentle brush against her legs. Noticing a striped cat rubbing on her. Bending down slowly, grunting. Petting it slowly. Rising back up. Her cane tapping the ground. Trailing along. E/c looking forward. Leafs falling around her. Taking a left. Silence looming.

Butterflies flew around. Flocks of birds flew above. Traveling north. Humming a soft melody. Moving forwards. H/c h/l dancing a bit. Her shoes clicked. Appearing to an open space. Unlike many houses. Her's alone sat by itself.

A beautiful garden bloomed so gracefully. Peacefulness wavered. Silence looming. However with her eyes, something caught her attention. A large brown box sat in front of her door step. Stepping up her steps to her door. Unlocking it then pushed it open, placing her veggies onto the counter. Returning back to the front. Bending down slowly. Lifting this random box then brings it in. Closing her door. Hearing a bark.

Y/n: "Hello to you too Duke."

Slowly placing the box down onto her bed. Duke walked up his steps slowly. Sniffing the box. Y/n opens the box in a slow motion for caution before opening fully. Tilting her head. Digging one hand in. Pulling out what seems to be a plush.

Moving it around slowly. Trying to recognition, which did come to her eventually.

Smiling Critters.

She remembered them clearly. Especially by the toons that was used to play on tv for children to watch. Even by seeing them in stores before until it stopped production.

Could have someone left them at the wrong house? Well there was no sticker stating any address. Possibly someone left them as a gift? Y/n wasn't truly sure. She didn't wish to throw them away.... Rather she found them adorable in her opinion. Even Catnap that was recalled. Staring at the other smiling critters. Duke puts his head into the box. His nose touching Dogday. Y/n chuckles.

Y/n: "Like them too huh Duke?"

Picking up the box slowly, placing them onto a nearby chair. Humming a bit.

Y/n: "Seems I might need to find a proper spot to put y'all in to get you comfy here."

Breathing out. Walking to the next room to get ready to dress for night to come and rest herself after eating her dinner.

But what she didn't know is that these Smiling Critters that carry their grinning faces will show signs of living souls within them...
