Momo ran and ran as fast as she could. She was being chased by some creature she couldn't even believe it would exist. She ran down the hallway and passed through gears, pipes, and smoke.

She stopped and looked at her right, she could see little people, who were also running in her direction. The girl was scared as she continued to run for her life. She saw a wooden container with an oval shape drawn in ink at the middle and a sign above it that says, 'Miracle Station'.

She went inside and hid, hoping that this would be a good hiding spot from the creature.

There was silence.

Everything was dark as she peeped through a little opening in the container. Just as she was about to inspect her surroundings outside through the hole, the creature jumped towards her and somehow broke into the container-

"Ahhhh!" she jumped, her upper body jerked up from her bed. She then realized it was only a dream.

Who was that creature that was chasing her? What was that dream all about? She looked at the time, it was 4:14 in the morning.

A knock was suddenly heard in Momo's bedroom. "I'm coming," Momo stepped out of her bed, still very sleepy, and walked towards her bedroom door.

On the other side, Bendy was standing there holding a pillow in his right hand.

"Sorry to w-wake you up, Momo. It's j-just... I had a bad dream..."

Momo remembers her dream too, she looked at the demon's frightened face, she then let out a sigh.

"It's ok, Bendy. I had a bad dream too."

"You do too?" Bendy asked in surprise. "C-can I sleep with you? I can't seem t-to sleep properly."

The demon's cartoon-like eyes were clear enough for Momo to see that they look like they haven't closed for days and tireless nights.

"Alright, come on in," said Momo. Bendy enters the room accompanied by Momo towards her bed. The little demon quickly jumps on the bed, enjoying the softness of the mattress.

Momo then joined Bendy, she smiled seeing Bendy happy with his fear washed out from his face.

"Can we sleep? It's still dark," asked Momo as she yawns. "Okay!" the demon exclaimed.

Momo is just about 5'8" tall, Bendy is a lot shorter her, coming in at 3 ft exactly. Even shorter then that one teenager that looked like he had a grape quirk. The demon slumbers into a deep sleep, his hands somehow reached towards Momo's waist even though his head was on the pillow, hugging her.

Momo blushed a bit. She then hugged Bendy in return. As the only child of Momo's family, she never had siblings in her life. No one to take care of, to play with her, until the sudden, warm embrace of Bendy gave her that very feeling of what it's like to have one.

They both fell asleep, with no nightmares aggravating both of them.

The next morning came, Momo had just woken up from her sleep. What she could remember was someone hugging her.

She looked at her side. No one was there. She hastily jumped out of bed and went to the kitchen. Momo saw Bendy sitting at the dining table, waiting for the food to be served. He had a smile on his face. A jolly one. It was as big and wide that it could warm a person's heart.

"Good morning, Momo!" Bendy smiled at Momo. She smiled back, "Good morning, Bendy."

"How was your sleep, Momo?"

"It was good, I had no nightmares anymore. How about you?"

"I slept well last night, and I had a cool dream too! In my dream, I was a firefighter! One time, there was a fire and then we have to put it out... I was doing well, and then we have to put out the fire, which was in our building, and then when I used the hose-thingy, it went out of control. I managed to get inside, and then... and then-"

"Hehehe, sounds like you got a pretty awesome dream, Bendy," Bendy was interrupted by Momo's compliment.

Momo happily watched Bendy as he continued to talk about his dream. He's like a little child with amazing potential. Bendy was like a little brother to Momo, even though they only met yesterday.

"Breakfast is ready!" a woman's voice can be heard. She brought a plate of delicious food of what seems to be raw fish and a bowl of noodles.

"Sashimi and Soba! They're so delicious!" Momo exclaimed. "You should try some, Bendy."

"Okay Momo," Bendy replied. He glanced at the plate with Sashimi on it. He then looked for something for him to use while eating. He then saw two wooden sticks attached. He observed Momo, not knowing what the sticks are for.

Momo separated the sticks and held both of them in a somewhat confusing position along with her fingers. Bendy tries to do the same, but he ended up twisting his fingers. Momo notices Bendy's situation. She then teaches Bendy how to handle what she calls them 'Chopsticks'. After many failed attempts in handling the utensil, Bendy finally got a hold of the sticks, he started savoring the Soba and Sashimi.

"Mmmmm, these are so good! You're right, Momo. These are delicious," the demon smiled, he never tasted anything so good it makes his tongue water, begging for more.

"Well, I'm glad you liked it, Bendy," Momo's mom gave a short nod before leaving the two.

"Bendy, my mom and I thought of something yesterday. We thought that she would go to the police station here in Musutafu. That way we can find your files and know your true identity," Momo notified Bendy about their idea.

"Oh... ok then," the demon agreed, giving a quick nod, finishing his food.

The demon stood up, holding his plate, "Thank you for the food, by the way."

"Thank my mom, Bendy. She's the best at cooking!" Momo bragged.

A few hours later has passed, Bendy was sitting on the couch, watching a rectangular grey screen with what seemed to have moving pictures in it.

"Woah...," his eyes seem to be filled with awe as he stares into the screen.

Momo notices Bendy getting nearer to the screen. "Don't go too near the television screen, Bendy. It'll hurt your eyes."

"Oh, ok Momo," Bendy obeyed. He moved backward, away from the screen. News had been broadcasted on the TV screen: No. 1 Hero, All Might, in Musutafu, Japan has saved the day after defeating a slime villain.

The female teenager gasped at the words displayed on the news.

"What is it, Momo? You looked surprised," Bendy asked in confusion.

"Bendy, it's the No. 1 Hero, All Might!"

"All who now?"

Momo was even surprised because Bendy didn't know who All Might was. She turned her direction to Bendy, telling him all the things about the No. 1 Hero.

"Oh wow! That's cool! He saved a lot of people and has super strength and speed? He must be adored by a lot," Bendy was being enthusiastic after

hearing all about All Might.

"Yeah! I wanted to become a hero when I was little. How about you Bendy? Do you wanna become a hero?" the female asked the demon.

Bendy shrugged a bit, turning his head back to the screen. Everyone on TV was speaking in a weird language Bendy couldn't understand.

"I'm so confused. I don't know what they're talking about."

Momo's realization struck her all of a sudden. She snaps her fingers. "That's right! I'm supposed to teach you Japanese."

"Oh, I completely forgot about that," Bendy scratched behind his head with embarrassment.

"C'mon! I'll teach you the basics until you fully mastered it."

Momo started to teach Bendy basic Kanji and Hiragana. Of course, Bendy was having the hardest time in his life, but he manages to learn a few words.

In Japanese, Bendy uttered a few words, "Hello, my... Bendy is... name. U-umm, I mean... Bendy, my name... is hello... Aaaarggghhh!" Bendy was a bit frustrated but pouts after.

"Don't worry, Bendy. You'll get the hang of it," Momo encouraged him in English.

Bendy smiled at Momo, "Thank you," he said.

A few weeks later, Bendy was trying to speak full on Japanese. Day by day, night by night, he keeps getting better and better until he mastered it. Bendy was happy that he can speak Momo's native language.

At the Musutafu Police Station, Mrs. Yaoyorozu and Detective Tsukauchi discussing some important matters.

"Mr. Tsukauchi, is there any information about a lost child?" she asked Detective Tsukauchi.

"Here in our records, we receive no valid data about a lost kid, but don't worry, Ma'am, we will find the kid's identity and information," replied the detective.

"Thank you, detective," she sighed.

5 hours later...

Bendy was helping Momo with her studies. Momo also taught Bendy a lot of things, considering her amazing knowledge and a mountain of books, but Bendy never hesitated to learn.

He sat beside Momo like a 4-year-old, listening to her while she was teaching and studying at the same time.

'Ding'

A strange tone was heard throughout the mansion.

"It's Mom! She's back!" Momo exclaimed.

Both the demon and the teenager rushed down the stairs to see Momo's mom with a slight blue expression but with excitement at the same time. Bendy was really confused about her emotions right now.

"Welcome back, Mom,"

"Welcome back, Mrs," both uttered in Japanese.

"Oh, how lovely. Bendy-kun can speak in Japanese. I'm so proud of you," the compliment made Bendy blush, scratching his head behind him.

"So Mom, how was it? Did you find Bendy-kun's true identity?," Momo asked her mother.

She replied with a little sad emotion on her face, "Sadly no..."

The two exchange glances at each other then turn to Mrs. Yaoyorozu.

"What do you mean 'no'?" the teenager asked.

"Well, you see..."

A few moments ago at the Musutafu Police Station...

"What do you mean you can't find anything?" the woman questioned the detective.

The detective's stern look glances at the lady who seemingly wanted to hear why he didn't find Bendy's identity.

"We didn't find the boy's files in here. We also checked from other police stations, as well as in the United States, among other English speaking countries, and there's still no information about the kid."

"If we haven't found his identity, what's gonna happened to him," questioned the lady.

"Well, he will be sent to a place where he can be taken care of until he finds a foster family to live with," replied the detective.

"Oh my, that's terrible for my daughter, Momo. She really likes to hang out with Bendy-" she was then interrupted by the detective.

"Or..."

"Or what, Detective? What is it?"

Back at the Yaoyorozu Mansion...

"What!? Really!?" both Momo and Bendy squealed in delight.

"That's what he said. We can adopt Bendy-kun as our own."

It was the most memorable day for Momo. She was the only child in her family. She didn't expect to have a brother. She hugged her mom and did the same thing to Bendy.

"I'm so happy, Mom. Thank you," Momo turned her direction to Bendy.

"Hey Bendy! Guess what? We're gonna be siblings!"

Bendy was as happy as Momo, he let out a smile as wide as he can go. He then hugs her big sister, Momo hugging him back as well.

"There's one thing I have to do before we make Bendy a part of our family."

Momo turned to her mom, a little bit curious about what she's going to say.

"I'm gonna bring Bendy to the court and sign some paper works. You'll be the one in charge of our home. Can you handle it, Momo?"

Yes, Mom! You can count on me, " she placed her hand on her chest.

"Great, we'll leave tonight at 7."

"Ok, Mom. Be sure to be on your best behavior, Bendy-kun."

"Okie, sis!" the little demon smiled.

It was 7 in the evening, Mrs. Yaoyorozu and Bendy left the mansion, leaving Momo in charge. She cleaned the rooms, made tea for herself, and watched some TV.

2 hours later...

Momo yawned, she was tired, and sleepy after the things she did the whole evening.

"Mom and Bendy still haven't come back yet," she thought.

She puts on her sleeping garments and goes to her bedroom. "They must be taking a long time. I can wait."

She lies down on her bed, her eyes were too heavy for her as they closed. It was a peaceful night for Yaoyorozu Momo.

... until it came back.
