"Am I clear Bendy?" Daddy (Imperfect/Beast Bendy) asked. I nodded. "Am I clear about the consequences of coming back into this room with the ink machine?" I nodded again, my tail swishing nervously. "Verbally!" He demanded, growling.

"Very clear."

"Good." He rumbled. "Go play Bendy. And I expect today's episode recording to go well. All that's expected from you is learning your lines."

"So I'll go see what Joey has planned."

"That's a good boy." With that I skipped off, my tail swinging in circles.

I bumped into Henry and Boris. They had been talking about today's episode. "Careful there Bendy." Henry said.

"Where you going Bendy?" Boris asked.

"To see Joey. I want to see the episode's final cut."

"Boris and I were just talking about the episode. It's called 'The Candy Store'." He held out a packet of paper.

I took it and skimmed the pages before handing it back. "Thanks! I'm still off to see Joey."

"See ya Bendy." They said, walking off. I was about on my way but I heard an almost familiar voice.

"Bendy." It called out to me gently. "Bendy!" I turned and followed it. "I have cookies for you." I ran down the hall to see an Imperfect Alice Angel. She held out a tray of cookies. "Know where the ink machine is?"

"Yeah but I'm not allowed in there."

"A big mean man chased me off from the room and I left my Angel toy in there. It's special to me because my mommy bought it for me when your show first came on. Can you help me get it back?"

"I don't know." I replied, weighing the value of her special toy against the punishment I was told I would receive.

"These cookies are all yours if you help me." The smell wafted to my nose as the air conditioner came on.

"Okay, follow me." I walked back to the room and centimetered the door open before going inside, wrapping my tail around her wrist.

I started looking for her toy as she turned the other way. I jerked around as the ink machine turned on. She had sent herself through the machine. There was no toy! She lied!

I saw her come out just the same and she screamed furiously. Then the door slammed open and Daddy was there and let out a scary sound before noticing me in the corner of the room.

He stomped to the girl and grabbed her hair and she screeched as she was pulled toward me. I cowered in the corner and turned around as he came too close for comfort. I felt his hand close around my tail and lift me from the ground.

He dragged us from the room and threw her to the ground. He growled at her as she scrambled to her feet as he approached and she fled. He turned his attention slowly onto me.

But I was saved by the intercom.

"Calling all actors to the stage in 10 minutes, repeat, calling all actors to the stage in 10 minutes."

Daddy growled. "I'll deal with this later." He put me down and swatted me.

"To the stage."

I hurried to the stage and saw Alice waiting for me. She smiled. "Hi Bendy." She said sweetly.

"Hi Alice." I replied, smirking.

"Actors, ready?" Director asked. With a few nods he called out "Action!"

I walked on to set and turned and bowed to Alice and offered her my hand but snatched it before she could grab it and used my hand to instead hide my smile as I snickered.

She frowned and playfully waggled her finger at me before picking up her skirt and walking towards the middle of the stage before gasping. I came running around, lifting my feet higher than necessary and slipped on a horrified look, pointing at the small puddle and looked at Alice. She looked back with her own horrified face.

She held up her dress higher as she slipped a foot out of her high heel and dipped it in the puddle of water before pulling it out and shivered her whole body and jumped back a few steps.

I pretended to think putting a hand to my chin before smiling, leaving my pointer finger up.

I put my hand behind me, pretended to dig around in my pocket and pulled out a jacket and laid it over the puddle and bowed. She smiled at me and walked over my jacket. I jumped over it and landed on my feet before looking behind me and used my tail to scoop the jacket up and put it on before scampering off after Alice.

The scene was over.

"Be ready in ten minutes. We'll continue with scene two of three. Henry! Get Bendy a dry jacket!"

I slipped off the wet jacket and Alice giggled. "I can't wait to watch the finished product, with the editing completed."

"We'll be filming two episodes today."

"One before lunch and one after lunch. I can't wait for 'Bendy's In Toyland'."

"Kids? Haven't you heard? 'Bendy's In Toyland' is being transformed into a movie for the upcoming holiday?"

"What holiday would that be?" I asked.

"Christmas of course."

"That means presents!" Henry chuckled.

"Yeah, that means presents. We're listing names and characters now."

"I'm going to be in a movie!" Alice said, her eyes lighting up.

…

It was time to go back on stage. I opened the door to the candy shop and Alice walked in and I followed her.

We started browsing candies and Alice pointed to a box. I pointed at a different one.

The manager walked up, Charley, and pointed at the candies and then a sign. Five cents per piece. I 'pulled' out my pockets to show I was broke and Alice did the same to her dress.

Charley angrily pointed out the door and turned back and went in the back. I kicked my foot, disappointed.

Alice leaned and gave me a kiss. I brightened with an idea and unwrapped a candy before popping it in my mouth. Alice gasped, putting her hands on either side of her face.

I popped another and then Charley came back and glared at me before stomping over and I dropped my wrappers and just as he stomped on it, he slipped. I grabbed Alice's hand and ran out of the store, grabbing handfuls of candies. Charley chased us and outside Charley jumped up and down angrily and a cop, a searcher, came up.

"Cut! That's scene two of three. Scene three is short people. Clear the stage."

Alice and I had ran off the stage already so the others started to clear the stage.

"Almost lunch time people. Let's hurry this up."

When the stage was finally cleared, Alice and I ran up towards the back of the stage and we stopped in the middle to catch our breath.

Alice looked toward the camera and sighed as she shrugged. I smiled and pulled out candies and she did that gasp thing again before giving me a kiss to my cheek.

I thought of something to force a blush before shooting my tail straight into the air.

Then I grabbed her hand and we ran straight into the back of the stage, tearing the green screen.

They all stood and clapped for us. I led Alice around and back to the director.

"Good job kids! That was perfect! Time for lunch. We'll start episode b at 3:00."

Alice grinned and headed for the lunch room. I started to skip after her but was yanked up by my tail by Daddy.

"You didn't forget, did you Bendy?" I grinned sheepishly.

"Maybe, maybe not."

With that he carried me back to my room. He snatched out my foot stool with his own tail and yanked it to the middle of my room before placing his foot on it. He deposited me on his knee. His tail intertwined with mine and lifted it out of his way.

… This is going to be bad.

I jumped, yelping as his hand came down on my upturned bottom.

"Ow!" I threw my hands back but my wrists were grabbed by his tail as well.

He brought his hand down again and I jumped again.

"Owww! That hurts!"

"It is called a spanking. It is supposed to hurt."

I jumped twice more before wriggling. And then squirming. But his hand just kept coming down to smack my bottom. My 'ow's had turned into yelps and then sniffles as I tried to get away.

"When I said stay out of that room, I meant stay out. I thought you said you understood? Clearly you didn't. Well now you will. Only then will you be let down."

"Waaaah! Owww! Owww! Owww! Oww! Oww! Oww! Waaaah! I'm sorry! Daddy, I'm sorry!" I sobbed, I stopped squirming and just sobbed.

Daddy stopped and held me to his chest as I sobbed. He began to rub my back just like when I was scared.

I cuddled into his chest as we headed to the lunch room. He sat down with two plates and turned me toward the table.

Alice came skipping over and sat down with her own plate and Sammy followed, sitting across from me.

"Bendy!" Sammy said, his face glistening with joy. "Heard about 'Bendy's In Toyland'. Did you? We're writing up the script now. It's going to be awesome."

"How long does it take to make a script?" I asked.

"Well first there's the draft, then it's proof read, then it goes through an editing process. Then it's rewritten. It repeats until Joey approves it through to the next stage."

"That sounds like a lot of work. And boring."

"Well Joey just wants the movie to be rememberable for a good reason, not because it's a bad movie."

As we finished eating, Sammy stood with his empty plate and took ours. I smiled and jumped across the table and Sammy barely caught me in time.

I heard a call for the actors and scampered off to the stage. Alice following after. "Bendy! Over here please!" Joey called.

I hopped to his side and looked up at him. "What is it Joey?"

"This episode I need you to get angry at Edgar. Edgar is playing the role of a kidnapper and Alice is the kidnappee. You are going to rescue her."

"So... you want me to get angry?"

"Yes." Joey turned me around and gently pushed me to the stage again as he called out 'Action!'

I saw Edgar on a web and yank Alice to him before sticking her to his web. He spun her like a fly into his web. I came running up and panicked. Before trying to yank Alice of the web. Edgar pretended to bite me and I yanked my arm back, watching it 'pulse' red before stomping my feet on the ground and straightening up to my full height, granted not that tall, and pretended to pull up my sleeves and put my fists up, bouncing from foot to foot and Edgar climbed off his web to humour me.

He punched me and I went flying to the other side of the stage, wires helping that feat. I flew right into Boris. Boris threw his arms up in surprise and helped me to my feet. I turned and jumping on my feet I charaded to him about Alice.

He put a glare on his face and followed me after pulling up his own sleeves. He yanked at Alice but she didn't come off. So he pulled again and again until Edgar came over and yelled at him, shaking a fist.

Boris put up his fist, swung it in fast circles before punching Edgar, missing before contact. Then Edgar jumped off his web and Boris and Edgar circled each other before jumping together rolling all over the floor. I ran to Alice and started to pull. When I'd pulled a lot, I stopped and started tapping my foot the way Daddy does when he's impatient.

Then I picked up a rock and started hacking at the web threads. When she was free, I was given another kiss.

I turned and saw Boris had trapped Edgar in his own webbing. Then Boris, Alice and I started to walk off until Edgar started crying. Then I turned around and looked at him while Boris and Alice kept walking.

I crept up to Edgar and he gave a sniff, looking at me. Boris and Alice noticed that I wasn't following them and turned to watch me.

I wrapped my arms around Edgar's neck and he sniffled. I turned back to the others and beckoned them back. Boris and Alice hugged Edgar and Edgar was freed from the webbing. He hugged us back and then we all walked toward the back of the stage after shaking hands and I turned back and winked at the cameras as we froze.

"Cut!" Joey called. "That was perfect!" He walked onto the stage. He gave us each a hug and picked me up. "That's a wrap everyone." He carried me out of the room. "Bendy, we have a movie in progress. It's called 'Bendy's In Toyland'. It'll be the first speaking role. The industry we work in is moving on from silent screens. So I'm going to take you, Alice, and Boris to the newly built 'Bendy Land'. It's a promotional sort of event dedicated to the Christmas movie we're working on."

"Bendy Land? Where's that at?"

"It's in Orlando. Bertram had the idea and he was put in charge of the building and it was just finished. I'm excited. Are you?"

"Yes!"

"You'll be able to meet the people who watch your show." I frowned. I didn't really like meeting new people.

"Will anyone else come?"

"Henry, Susie, Tom, Sammy, and I. The others are staying here. So tomorrow we're going to buy plane tickets to Orlando." He came to a stop on the entrance floor. We had came to a group of workers. He gave me a hug and I returned it before I was placed on my feet.

I ran to the corner and picked up my plush puppy named Loris. They talked for a while and I only listened in when the voices were dying down.

"So whose turn is it?" Susie asked.

"Well according to the schedule, it's Sammy's turn to give Bendy a bath." Bath! I slunk out of the room before trying to find a place to hide. I ended up in Joey's office.

I staid under the desk for a long time until I heard the door open. "You just had to say bath didn't you?" Sammy's voice seethed.

Sammy started looking and Henry sighed. "I had forgotten about that okay? Please let it go, okay?" Henry said, also looking.

"Wasting my time and everyone else's too."

If I could make it out, I can hide again. Otherwise they'll find me. I watched as their feet grew nearer and nearer until I couldn't take it any more. I scrambled up and tried to flee from the room. I heard them gasp and before I could get to the door, my tail was grabbed.

"Oh no you don't!" Sammy growled, grabbing my tail and lifting me from my feet. I struggled against his hold but it was futile as he carried me out of the room.

"Bendy, it's just a bath. It'll be over before you know it. Then you'll be clean and ready for another day of mischief." Henry said.

"Put me down!" I grumbled.

"Don't you want to be clean for Orlando?"

"Put a sock in it Henry." Sammy said through his cigarette.

I struggled until I was brought back to the room before I fled. I heard sighs of relief. "I found him in Drew's office." Sammy said.

"Good job you guys." Joey said. "You know what to do. Right?"

"Yeah." He carried me out and when he entered the bathroom he made sure to lock the door. He walked over to the bucket and put me in, despite my new struggles. He sat down and began my bath. I crossed my arms, frowning as I swished my tail in aggravation. "You know this is the same routine every time and yet you still fight over it. Least I'm not strict enough to swat you for it."

With that the rest of my bath continued in relative silence. Until I started crying. Sammy sighed. "Bendy, look, I'm sorry but this is an important part of being a star. Anyone's life really. I take baths, Henry takes baths, Joey takes baths, Boris takes baths, Alice takes baths. Even Indy takes baths." Indy was a nickname for my dad that Sammy used.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it." I grumbled as he started on the top of my head.

"Doesn't mean you should run every time either."

When he finished, he lifted me out before holding me to his chest. I didn't really need 'drying' off. He held me in a hug and soon I couldn't keep pouting. I hugged him back as he carried me out.

We entered the room that Joey had made for us, it was what Joey called a dorm. There was a room for all of the actors but the dorm was for the main cast, plus Daddy. Sammy sat on the couch next to Boris and Alice. Daddy gave me a small plate for dinner before going back to what he was doing.

Sammy helped me eat it. Before asking a question. "Which book would you like me to read?" It was Boris' turn so he handed over a book and Sammy began to read.

I was sleepy after and I was handed from Sammy to Daddy as Boris and Alice, yawning, headed towards their rooms. I cuddled up with Daddy as he carried me to my room. He laid me in bed and tucked me in before I fell asleep. The last thing I remember is a kiss from Sammy and both him and Daddy wishing me sweet dreams.
