A/N: Billy proves himself to be a persistent little bugger in this chapter, and manages to get Melany yelling at him...And she points out the things that separate her from the Toy animatronics. Billy basically gets what he deserves XD

Also, feels warning.

I sit in the corner, looking down at my locket.

In the half that doesn't contain the photo, "No matter where you may be, daddy will always be with thee." are embedded into the gold.

I sigh.

Never again will I see either of the other two faces in the picture.

Never again will I see those smiles.

Never again will I hear those voices.

Never again will I be able to hug them...

Never again will I feel them beside me, telling me, "It'll be okay."

I can't help but sniffle, then begin to cry.

I miss my family!

I miss my brother, and my father, and my cousins, and my grandparents, and everyone who loved me that I left behind! I want to see them again, all of them! I don't want to be stuck here!

"Something wrong, doggy?" Billy asks.

"None of your business," I sniffle, hiding my face. "You wouldn't understand anyway."

"We may not be friends, doggy, but that doesn't mean I don't want to know what's wrong."

"I don't want to talk about it. Not with you."

"I can't bring you back to the parts and service with your friends until the boss tells me to, so you better speak up now or you may never get to."

I weigh my options, then choose.

"I'm still not telling you. You wouldn't understand. You were never really alive."

"'Really alive?'" Billy echoes blankly. "Doggy, are you sick or something?" He puts a hand on my forehead, much to my dismay.

"I'm not sick!" I protest, shoving his hand rather violently away.

"No need to be so violent. I get it. Jeez." Billy shrugs. "You'd better tell me what's wrong, because you might not get to tell anyone else."

"I'm not telling you what's wrong! I'm telling you that you wouldn't understand!" I yell.

"We won't know that for sure unless you tell me!"

"I already know that you wouldn't understand, Billy! You never had a human life! You never had to go to school! You never had parents, or siblings, or cousins, or any type of real family!" I burst, feeling worse than before.

"Alright, Doggy, now you're just spewing insanity.

"See? What did I tell you? And stop calling me that."

"Whatever, Wolfy."

"Ugh...Can I go back to my friends now?"

"Sorry, Wolfy, that's not up to me." He leaves the room, and I sigh, reburying my face in my arms.

"..."

"Troy says you can go back, but watch yourself." Billy says as he returns. "He'll have you dismantled if you act out again."

"...Alright, I understand." I say softly as Billy takes me back to Parts and Service.

As soon as I'm in there, among familiar, friendly faces, I fling myself at the nearest one.

Sora.

"What? What's wrong?"

"I want to go home..."

"What?"

"I want to go home! Back to my dad, and my brother, and..."

"We can't, Mel, you know that. We're stuck here."

"I know..." I whimper. "It's miserable..."

Billy leaves.

"I don't think anything will ever get better, Sora..."
