Helpy grumbled, sorting through paper after paper, each detailing a new lawsuit.

He was going crazy just thinking about the staggering number he had to deal with. Michael was no help, he was too busy running the pizzeria. The other animatronics were just liabilities, and would be no help either.

Well, Helpy wasn't called that for no reason.

He hopped down from his tiny desk, sliding down the ladder attached to the bigger desk they situated on. He was going to talk to those lawsuits about their unruly behavior, especially that new, inky one. What even was that supposed to be?

Helpy knocked on the door to Michael's office, frowning at how different the door looked. The white paint sparkled with glitter, something Michael's door never did.

He almost shrieked when it creaked ajar. The tile was checkerboard, black and white beyond it.

Helpy summoned up his courage, and went inside.

The room was empty, save for a single arcade game.

Press Play! The screen read.

Helpy growled, jumping up onto the tiny coin slot, pulling himself onto the console. He stomped, hard, on the red START button.

The screen read with the title of the game, Sailor Moon Crystal.

Weird. Helpy never heard of that game before.

The screen switched to a character selection screen, displaying ten girls in colorful skirts and bows. Four of them carried long weapons, most looking pretty lethal.

Helpy moved the joystick, choosing the one with a sword.

Character already chosen. The screen read. Choose your character.

Helpy grinded his teeth, choosing the one with what looked like a weird spear.

Character already chosen.

Helpy tried the one with a long staff. Same thing, same message.

He stomped his tiny foot, choosing the weaponless one with a green skirt.

Character already chosen.

Helpy wailed, choosing the girl with the long hair and dark blue skirt.

Character already chosen.

Helpy lost it.

He yelled profanities, punching the little joystick with all his might. Helpy screamed at the top of his lungs, collapsing on the console.

Welcome, Sailor Chibi Moon! The game chirped.

Helpy looked up just in time to see the tiny girl with a pink skirt before the screen went black.

Click.
