Episode one, written by Phil Bechdel of The Kid Stories Podcast, presented by
micro Terrors, Scary Stories for Kids and Kid Stories Podcast. All Right,
Ninjas lisiing Up, hollored Master Momo. The Ninjas sat on the ground,
puffing and sweating after a morning of training. Looks like we've got some weird
stuff going on in town. It turns out that there have been multiple reports
of toys coming to life and doing strange things like what asked ben Ben.
Master Momo looked down at his morning notes, like jumping out of windows and
scaring kids by suddenly walking around and chasing pet dogs and scurrying around the park
at night. And let's be honest, pretty much anything a toy does is
creepy and needs to be investigated. Check out the potion shop on the north
end of town. Their kids were the first to report weird toys. Tatiana
and ben Ben preferred more information before heading out on a mission. Sometimes the
mission was to gather information in the first place. The tune Einus went straight
to a potion shop called the Cracked Cauldron. Two grown ups stood behind a
counter checking out customers, and three kids were helping restock items. Ben Ben
and Tatiana talked to the parents and the kids, but didn't get much new
information. You should have seen it, man, one of the younger kids,
explained, my teddy bear knocked everyone's breakfast off the kitchen table, and
I tried to catch it, and my brothers and sisters were totally freaking out,
and my dad whacked the Teddy Bear out the front door with a broom
and it just ran off away from town. It was crazy. Ah hah,
said Tatiana. Do you remember where you got the teddy Bear? My
favorite ice cream is strawberry, said the kid. Yes, okay, but
what about the teddy Bear? Repeated Tatiana, getting annoyed. Do you remember
where you got the teddy Do you have ice cream? Said the kid,
completely fixated on ice cream now. An older sibling walked by carrying a tray
of jars filled with rare flower pedals. He doesn't know, None of us
do. We didn't come from a birthday or a friend or anything. We
couldn't figure it out. The replies were pretty much the same at the homes
of other people who had recently experienced toys coming to life. Okay, so
what do we know, Ben Ben, asked Tatiana, recapping their day of
investigation. We know I'm never having kids, said Tatiana, sarcastically. They're
so annoying. Seriously, said Ben Ben. Okay, seriously, we don't
know much more than we did before toys have been coming to life. They
all run away and no one remembers where they got them, said Tatiana.
The two ninjas sighed they knew what the next step in the investigation had to
be ricked in. Need to do a steak out, aren't we, Tatiana
asked. Ben Ben nodded. I hate steakouts, he said. The two
ninjas then found a good hiding place near Valley Town's downtown area. From their
spot, they could see down many streets. They kept an eye out for
anything suspicious as the sun went down and everyone went home. Eventually the streets
went quiet. It was kind of serene as the ninjas tried to stay awake
and keep an eye out for toys. Finally, they saw two cats a
streak out of an alley and across the street a monment later. From out
of that alley walked a filthy doll. That's so creepy, whispered Tatiana.
The doll turned its head from one side to another slowly that it broke into
a run through Valleytown. Tatiana and ben Ben followed, making sure to keep
their distance. The doll kept going, running down the empty sidewalks a valley.
It reached the edge of town, and continued walking out through the fields
north of town. Does it even know where it's going? Ben Ben thought
out loud. What if it's just walking mindlessly until it gets to the coast,
then I'm gonna kick it into the ocean, said Tatiana grumpily. Luckily,
the little doll didn't walk all the way to the coast. The ninjas
followed the doll into a dense collection of fir trees. The moonlight barely penetrated
the thick foliage, and the ninjas crept very slowly. Soon there was light
coming from a clearing among the trees. It was the faint glow of windows
and a modest little cottage. Did you know this house was here, Ben
Ben asked. Tatiana shook her head. Nope, it's pretty well hidden here
among these trees. Do you see the doll? Ben Ben shook his head.
Nope, but I think we know where it went. Silently Slowly,
Ben Ben and Tatiana crept up to the cottage to get a better look.
