A man in his late thirties was patrolling the grounds of the popular amusement park, Playland! He was the night-watchman on duty that day. He was wearing the stereotypical security guard uniform, blue with a matching hat. He was whistling and spinning his key-rings on his finger. He entered the back door for the slow-paced boat ride "'Friends 'round the world." Automatically, the child-like robots started to sing their song-

Don't be rude, don't be mean,
if you're a peasent or a queen.
If you're dirty or if you're clean.
If you're hair's straight or if it's curled,
You've got friends 'round the world!

He pulled the switch and the ride went black. The robots shut down, the boats shut down, the lights shut down. Everything shut down.

"There. That's the last of it." He mumbled as he flicked his flashlight on. The man turned to open the back-door. Suddenly, he felt an uneasy feeling. As if he were being watched. He quickly turned around and pointed his flashlight at the inanimate robots. Something didn't seem right about the blond-haired boy from Germany. He seemed… Different.

The night-guard tried to jump on a boat to check out the robot. As he was doing so, he accidentally dropped his flashlight in the water.

"Crap." He complained. The ride was pitch-black. There was a recognizable tune of laughter… Childrens laughter.

Scared, and ultimately uneasy, the man took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a flame. In front of him was the robotic child- the blond little boy dressed as a German.

The boy was on the boat, a good two-feet in front of his electrical plug- aka, the station that gives him power.

The child smiled with teeth that were sharpened to a point. It seemed the boy had layers upon layers of those teeth- like a shark.

The man was gasping and tried to scream.

The boy put his robotic finger in front of his mouth and made the 'ssh' sound. He then smiled again, more sinister than before. The child-like robot blew out the lighter with a single huff.

Surrounding the guard were dozens of pairs of red glowing eyes.

The last things he heard was-

You've got friends 'round the world!

His scream.

Then silence.
