      The next night, the bandits returned in their van again and decided to make sure that they had not misheard that day when they saw that strange-looking owner of the house. They drove up and saw the lights burning in every window of the house, and in some places the color palette of the lighting changed, like at a disco. Loud music was playing inside the house, and shadows and silhouettes of people were generally clearly visible behind the closed curtains. In fact, it was Andrew who secretly managed to send several of his toy cars and trains to the aid of the Drayton toys, so that they would help them protect the house from bandits. They moved, driving from room to room back and forth, while at the same time holding large cardboards from which celebrities were cut out, from football players to actors. The rest of the toys danced in the corridor and sang loudly, creating at the same time the illusion that these people were alive, they were dancing and singing themselves. And strangely enough, it worked. — Hm-m. That strange guy didn't lie. Is he really having a party? — suggested Marb. — This is suspicious. Those two spoke about it loudly this afternoon, as if on purpose, as if they wanted us to hear it. After all, they could have said it quietly. — Barry suspected something was wrong, and his partner began to deny: — Well, maybe they shouted like that on purpose, so that the neighbors would hear them, and for one thing they would want to come to them. — Maybe. — Barry thought. — We’ll have to tell Jimbo to come here and check for, so he can find out who this guy is! — What are we going to do for an hour? — the big man asked, and his partner answered him: — What to do, what to do? For now, we’ll go and rob other houses, where there’s definitely no one there yet, and maybe we’ll save this one for last. The van started moving and drove on. Charmy, with his eye hanging out of the window, was watching the van and when it drove away, he came out of reconnaissance and reported: — All! We're drowning it out! They left. Vector turned off the music and all the toys stopped singing loudly and dancing. — It’s a pity that they came to their senses so quickly and left. I would still have fun. — Amy said, taking a breath. The toys helped the engines and cars remove the fake cardboard people from them, after which the cars and engines went home to the toy maker. — Come visit us some other time. — Big waved goodbye. — Maybe it would still be easier to just call the police and still let them into the house? — Cream thought out loud. — What are you? Lost her mind? — Shadow denied. — What if the police don’t have time to arrive, and by that time these bandits will have already managed to steal everything here. Or worse. They will steal us and keep us forever in a dark warehouse without owners, where we will miss the games and die of boredom. — In general, we do not grow old in the literal sense and cannot die. We are essentially immortal. — Bokkun corrected. — Maybe, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t, for example, be burned in a fireplace or in a landfill. — Mephiles intervened. — Listen, do you always think about such wise things in your head? — Eggman asked. — I didn’t have a mouth then, but no brains. — the demonic hedgehog said jokingly, and Shadow, the only one who understood her, caught it and laughed in response. — Well, Meph, you blurted out! How can toys have brains? — Shadow asked laughing uncontrollably, and partly he was right. CinemaSins: If toys don't have brains, then how can they think, imagine or remember without them. Plus the brain is the main part of the body even in humans, thanks to which they can move, think and talk. AntiSins: Everything is explained very simply. Magic! Any toy made with soul and love receives from people some kind of pure energy, which does not even have a name and about which even scientists have no idea. Plus, it is sometimes replenished when, for example, toys are simply held in hands or if they are played with. Therefore, they are able to come to life and think, despite the fact that they do not have any other internal organs or the same brain. By the way, I just came up with this myself. — Winnie the Pooh also had no brains. Just fluff and sawdust, but that didn’t stop him from thinking sometimes when he wanted. — Mephiles explained. — Plus he’s just a stupid little bear, and you and I are not stupid at all. All the toys partly agreed with him. Overall, he didn't annoy them when he first spoke. However, they will still have to get used to him now as such a talker. It will also be interesting how David himself will react to the fact that Mephiles has a mouth when he returns?

At the same time

      A new morning was already dawning in Japan. The guest room had only one double bed and one sofa. Ivan and Lily slept on the bed, while David slept on the sofa, because there was an extra blanket and pillow. David accidentally woke up earlier, and he didn’t want to wake up his parents. However, I didn’t want to sleep anymore. Out of boredom, he quietly got to his feet and crept into the corridor so as not to wake anyone. He went to the kitchen since there was a spare TV in the kitchen. Was hoping to watch something on TV. Luckily the sound was quiet so no one would wake up as he picked up the remote and turned it on. At that moment, an anime series about Pinocchio was playing on TV. However, since they were in Japan, the TV here only picked up TV channels from the Japanese region, where everyone spoke exclusively Japanese. Because of this, he still didn't understand anything the characters were saying. However, David was not worried about the dialogue, but about the animation and actions of the characters in this anime. Therefore, he watched with interest, although he did not understand a word. The next person to wake up half an hour later was Karl. — Good morning! Can't sleep? — Good morning. Yes, I can't sleep. It seems like you’re tired, but you don’t sleep. — David answered. — This is due to the time zone change. You're used to waking up at one time, but here everything is a little different. Plus, you haven’t recovered from the flight yet. This is norm. — Daun reassured and decided to start breakfast. — Karl, can you explain what your dad wanted to do yesterday? asked Drayton, who was a little embarrassed. — To be honest, I didn’t really understand it myself. He wanted to show you something, but I didn’t quite understand what exactly. — the teenager admitted. — By the way, are your parents still sleeping? — Yes. I didn't want to wake them up, that's why I came here. I turned on the TV to keep myself occupied with something. — said the boy. — And you calmly watch Pinocchio, although you don’t understand a word? — the guy was sincerely surprised that a foreigner was calmly watching something not in his native language. — To be honest, I’m not particularly interested in the dialogues yet. I'm interested in what happens to Pinocchio. — Incredible! Xuenu could learn from you. We once tried to play him an old cartoon in Russian. He became capricious that he didn’t understand anything. — Karl put down two bowls of cereal. — Although, you can understand him. Hearing another speech and trying to understand something without translation is difficult. Meanwhile, another cartoon was already showing on TV. About a bee who wanted to find out what was going on outside her native hive and flew away late at night. But she could not find her way home and, together with her friend, remained to live in the forest. — And what? Do you have other cartoons in our native language? — David asked. — Eat. Not with us, but with Grandpa James. He has traveled to Russia many times before and has accumulated a lot of cartoons and films. — Daun replied. At this time, the awakened Ivan Drayton entered the kitchen. — Good morning, dad! — David said, noticing his father. Karl was so engrossed in watching TV that he didn’t notice someone entering. — Good morning, son. Why did you wake up so early? — asked the father. — I don’t know why. Karl says it's because of the flight. — the boy admitted. — Quite possible. But it seems to me that the reason is slightly different. — Ivan sat down next to his son. — It’s unusual to sleep without your toys, right? David just turned away in embarrassment. He understood that this was normal, but he was still somehow ashamed of this. — Don't worry, David! Everything is fine. To be honest, I understand you perfectly. It was hard for me to wean myself from sleeping with a toy. But then you had to do it suddenly. But I'm proud of you. — answered the elder Drayton and smiled. — Uncle Vanya, what are you talking about now? — Karl asked when the opportunity arose. He did not dare to interrupt the elder. It wasn't polite. — Remember that photo with the toy hedgehog? You showed it to me on the train. — Yes I remember. — the teenager answered. — And what? — The hedgehog was first inherited from me when I appeared in the family. I was a huge and obvious Sonic fan, or whatever they called that fan base? Oh yes. Sonicafan. And over time, I got a lot of different toys. Well, except for Shadow, which my wife sewed for herself since childhood. Then David appeared in our family and we inherited all our toys to him, and our house is almost full of them. Well, the only thing missing so far is the insidious six, Mitarex and Cosmo for a complete collection, so to speak. But alas. As we later learned even from the Internet, no one has ever produced such toys and even now does not produce them. - when the father finished, the son continued for him: — The only information we found was about the toys of Sonic the werewolf and the gray robot hedgehog. But we didn’t really like them and decided not to order them. Moreover, they looked somehow scary. The same Time Eater and Mephiles, despite the fact that they were scary in the games, in the form of toys they looked quite harmless and not so scary. — By the way, did we tell the story that happened when we gave David Silver for his birthday? — Ivan asked, and Karl silently shook his head in response. — Well then listen! This is a very long story, although we ourselves do not know the exact details. — and Drayton Sr. began to tell Karl the events that happened in the previous fanfic, about how David was given Silver for his birthday, how he disappeared along with Shadow and Sonic, how they spent many days looking for them before moving, and then how the Omarov neighbors found them. Well, they talked a little more about the ill-mannered boy of that family, Oscar. While he was talking, by that time a couple of hours had already passed and finally everyone in the apartment woke up. Karl listened attentively while David was still watching TV. — So the Omarovs are still your neighbors? — Karl clarified when the story ended. — Exactly. We invited our friend Dennis to move to the same city as us. After consulting with his father, he agreed. They were traveling to Krasnogurbinsk with us so as not to get lost. — Lili answered. — It's clear. — the guy answered, and then suggested. — I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me? I was just thinking of showing you the city. — It would be nice. — Ivan agreed. — Then can you take Xuen with you? — Eugene asked. — I need to work a little, and the noise from video games will bother me. And in general, he spends too much time playing games lately. — No problem. We can just get to know him a little better. — said David. His parents weren't against it either, although they were embarrassed that Karl would have to act as a translator again. — Okay, then finish breakfast, get ready and let's go! After breakfast, the Draytons got dressed and went out with Karl and Xuen for a walk. Xuen didn't feel comfortable going out. Since the console appeared, he had not gone outside for a long time and was embarrassed to even come close to strangers. Therefore, little brother always tried to be closer to his older brother and not move more than three meters away from him. In general, it is understandable, because they are brothers, which means that in essence they must protect and trust each other. David, of course, occasionally asked questions about why Xuen was so a little timid and always stayed closer to Karl, to which he explained all this to them. At the same time, he showed his cousins his entire city. On one of the streets there was even the largest road, consisting of four dividing buyers. On the left, all the cars on three parts of the road were driving only forward, and the rest of the cars on the right on the remaining two parts of the road were driving backward. Unfortunately, you don’t see this in Russia, so the Draytons were shocked when they saw this. Fortunately, between these roads there were also left and right turns, which already consisted of a road divided into two parts. The alleys were not so big, dark and scary, but quite the opposite. On the sides there were small houses, on top there were wires from supports or antennas to each other, and on the floor there was a large path of green road and red stripes on the sides. Plus there were lamp posts on the red parts of the floor. But while Karl was showing the alley itself and talking about similar ones in other places in the city, David at that moment was accidentally distracted by his gaze at another beautiful place. Large amusement park in Tokyo. It looks the same as in many other cities, but it also has a couple of additional attractions that you won’t find anywhere else. And the slides on rails with a long dragon riding along them as carts for a ride for visitors, went fast, and the slides were the highest and even scary to look at. It was scary, but very interesting and he really wanted to go there and try at least to ride the slide itself. David pointed out that amusement park to his parents, as well as Karl, and without hesitation they decided to go there. Karl even more so, since he had not visited this park for a long time and had no fun. To begin with, they decided to try the slide for themselves. When it was their turn, they sat down on their seats on the iron dragon, fastened their iron belts so as not to fly off, and drove off. Ivan and Lily were in the back, while Karl, along with David and Suen, were in the front. At first everything was like an ordinary roller coaster. That is, at first we are very bored and slowly climb up, and then standing on the edge and slowing down slightly for a second, we accelerate and go down very quickly. From the experienced effect of speed and fear, everyone screamed joyfully, waving their arms in unison. Only Xuen was a little scared and screamed not with joy, but with fear, looking at all this. The dragon car itself continued to drive without stopping and accelerated with each descent from each mountain. When they climbed the last and highest mountain, which almost surpassed the skyscrapers in size, at first they slowed down again and climbed quietly. Xuen, having recovered from the shock, clung to Karl and was already begging him for them to get out of here as soon as possible, since he was scared. But how will they come out if they are very high. Just dare to take off your seat belt and you will immediately fall, and then hit the ground. By that time they were already higher and at the very edge, and then they went down even faster. So fast that the wind blew straight into my face, and my cheeks and lips were pushed back. — Now I understand why dogs like it so much. — David tried to say, but only because of the strong wind blowing in his direction, he only blurted out: — “No a udesant hy oks yke it so mush” In a couple of seconds at this moment, the dragon turned forward from the bottom and abruptly stopped at the start. At that moment, each passenger's front airbags inflated and deflated themselves as a joke, so that with such a sharp brake no one would hit their face on the front part of the seat. Xuen was shocked at this moment, but then he slowly began to say: — Ka... Koyu... KA TA-A-A!!! — At the last shout, he raised both hands, clenched into fists, to the top. — Pata nuri ma sho-o! Karl answered him in response: “Some other time!”
