Bendy yawned as he pushed back the covers, dislodging Ink Blot and stretching in a fashion similar to the kitten next to him. As he rolled his back, it felt different but Bendy wasn't awake enough to care. Hopping out of bed, stumbling slightly as his balance was off, Bendy started his way downstairs with a yawn. He had been up later than usual last night, chasing an abusive father who had fled while Bendy had been comforting the hurt children. Bendy couldn't help but grin slightly as he remembered grabbing the tainted soul and carrying him in his claws to the police station himself. The man's screams had brought a lot of attention, but Bendy was able to hide in the shadows before anyone could get more than a glimpse of him and Bendy was satisfied that the man would never hurt his children again.

But spending so much extra time and energy chasing the guy down meant that Bendy had slept in later than usual and was now very eager to have a large meal. Ignoring the noise of the others going about their activities in the living room and other areas of the house, Bendy made his way towards the kitchen when something tangled in his legs. In very comedic fashion, Bendy tripped and rolled forward until he landed face down in the kitchen with a cartoony thud.

"Morning sleepy head," Bendy heard Henry's voice as the man started coming towards him. "Everyone's already finished breakfast a while ago, but Linda left some… are you alright Bendy? Is something upsetting you? Do you need to talk about it?"

"I just tripped," Bendy replied, glancing at Henry in confusion as his dad helped him to his feet. He didn't understand why Henry seemed so concerned, but shrugged it off as he continued "And I'm a little tired from chasing a particularly stubborn tainted soul last night."

"Was there something about that soul that's bothering you still? Did something happen?" Henry asked gently, kneeling down in front of the toon. Henry and the others all knew what Bendy was doing during the night as the little demon had been so proud to find a way to use all his predatory skills for good. They were understandably a little concerned at first, but they trusted Bendy and as time passed with only positive results the family became very supportive.

"He just ran and I had to track him down," Bendy replied, getting more and more confused. "Why do you think somethings bothering me? I'm fine! Really! Just a little tired and pretty hungry…"

"But Bendy… You're wings and tail are still out…" Henry informed, making Bendy's eyes widen in shock.

"What?!" Bendy yelped, his head spinning around to look at his back. And sure enough, a smaller version of his wings was partially folded on his back with his tail practically curled around one of his feet. Guess he knew what tripped him earlier, but he was just as confused as Henry by this turn of events. His body was very malleable and changed pretty often based on Bendy's emotions which often startled the others until they got used to it. When he discovered his Ink Devil form, his tail would sometimes appear whenever he was feeling particularly playful or mischievous. But his wings only ever came out when he was really angry or frustrated, his emotions trying to transform him into his Ink Devil form.

The thing was, Bendy wasn't feeling anything like that right now. He wracked his mind for a reason why they like this and the only thing he could think of was he had been in the midst of transforming back to his toon form when he had been crawling into bed. Maybe he fell asleep before he completely transformed back and his body just adapted the extra appendages to fit his toon form.

"I think they're here because I fell asleep while transforming back," Bendy finally said, turning back to Henry. "I really am fine."

"I believe you," Henry smiled, getting up and pulling food for Bendy while the little devil climbed up onto a chair. "Are you stuck with them now or can you make them disappear?"

"Let me see…" Bendy replied thoughtfully, concentrating on the appendages he now knew was there. The wings and tail began to look goopier before melting into Bendy's form. Happy with his success and his curiosity growing, Bendy tried to summon them again without actually transforming into his Ink Devil form. His back bubbled a bit before his wings and tail formed once more.

"I can retract and summon them at will!" Bendy declared beaming at his new ability. "Maybe this means I can fly as a toon? I've got to try and…"

"Food first," Henry cut in with a laugh. "Then you can experiment. But I better not catch you getting into places you shouldn't with this…"

Bendy deflated slightly before remember how hungry he was. Sitting down and retracting his wings and tail to be more comfortable, Bendy eagerly began digging into his food. After he finished and he put the dishes away, Bendy went outside, waving to Linda and the butcher gang who were working in the garden. Summoning his wings and tail again, Bendy started to flap them and happily jumped into the air. But rather than the easy and natural grace of flight Bendy was used to in his Ink Devil Form, Bendy found himself struggling to just stay in the air. After a lot of hard desperate flapping, Bendy face planted into the ground.

"Are you okay Bendy?" Linda asked, immediately coming to his side.

"I'm fine Linda," Bendy replied, spitting some grass out of his mouth while Linda wiped dirt from his face. "I just wasn't expecting it for it to be hard to fly like this."

"I'm glad you're alright," Linda said with a gentle smile, rubbing him slightly between the horns. "I know you're pretty sturdy, but please be careful. I don't like seeing you hurt."

"I will," Bendy promised with a slight purr, leaning into Linda's touch before she pulled away. Linda went back to the garden while Bendy rose to his feet. Now knowing this was not going to be as easy as he thought, Bendy unfurled his wings and been flapping. He managed to lift himself off the ground slightly, but he couldn't get any real height before he tired out. He tried a few more times until he was too tired to continue and joined Linda and the Butcher gang for a cool glass of lemonade.

Bendy didn't know why it was so hard for him to fly as a toon, but he wasn't going to give up. He loved flying and he couldn't wait to enjoy it whenever he wanted to however he wanted. The sky was his to claim and nothing would keep him down for long.
