The crowd is silent. No one dares say a word. Some parents take their children by the hand and back away slowly. Mahogany has an unimpressed face on. I don't know what kind of reaction she expected from the crowd, but this certainly wasn't it.
Suddenly Mike raises his hand and yells, "I'll take it for 10,000!"
Everyone stops. Everyone stares. Mouths drop. All eyes are focused on him. Mike wonders what just happened. Did he really just say that he'd buy an animatronic? He can't put his hand down. He can't say no. Why can't he resist this? He doesn't want an animatronic. He'd rather die. He doesn't know why he just offered $10,000 for a murderous robot.
Mahogany breaks the silence, "Okay, anyone want to challenge that offer? No one? Okay, it's all yours Mike."
The men start to wheel the animatronic to Mike's car. Oh crap. Oh crap. Yep Mike, you really did it now. It's too late. Spring Trap now belongs to Mike.
"M-mike, why did you buy the robot bunny thing?" Jeremy questions.
Mike can't even look his way, "I don't… I don't know."
Later, Mike drives home. He curses, he yells, he cries. Why did this happen? Why did he buy the animatronic? He just wasted $10,000 to buy a murderous robot. Doll would be so disappointed.
Soon Mike gets home and gets out of the car. He feels so bad, so obviously he doesn't rush to get out of the car. He goes over to the trunk of his vehicle and he pulls with all his might. Soon, he gets the stupid animatronic out of the trunk and on the ground. He huffs and puffs. That was much harder than he thought.
He wheels the thing up to the front steps of his house. He leaves it out there while he goes inside. He stands at the bottom of the stairs and calls for Doll. Doll comes down the steps and walks next to Mike.
"Hey Mike. Where have you been?" She asks.
"D-doll, I did something. I did something stupid. You'll probably hate me," tears form in Mike's eyes as he speaks.
Doll, concerned, takes Mike's hand, "Mikey, no. I will never hate you. Please just tell me what you did. I will understand."
Mike looks away, "No, Doll. You don't understand. I don't understand either. J-just, go outside. There is something big out there. Just take the blanket off it and you'll see… you'll see what I did."
Doll hesitates at first but then she walks toward the door. She walks out the door and closes the door behind her.
Mike sits down in his chair and waits. He waits. It's almost been 5 minutes. Waiting for something like this feels like an eternity.
