Location: Somewhere in the Playtime Co. Factory

No POV

After the kids went to sleep thanks to CatNap's sleeping gas, the purple cat plushie took Theodore to somewhere in the factory, where no one including the CEO will ever find them as CatNap ties up Theodore with rope before spewing out a darker red colored gas that went up to Theodore's nostrils.

Then suddenly, Theodore soon started to struggling while he's still asleep as he is starting to have a horrible nightmare with CatNap smiling evilly at what's about to happen to Theodore at any moment.

Unlike what he did to Billy Mason that died from a cardiac arrest in a padded room from a nightmare, this type of Poppy gas is something of a different type of gas that he plans to use in order to teach Theodore a lesson in learning how to be obedient and behave like a good person.

However, this is not what you expect of CatNap to teach a valuable lesson to Theodore as the young boy suddenly began to change with his skin growing purple fur all over his body, his hands shifted into plush paws, his face changing into that of a cat and finally he grew a tail that can elongate itself at will like how CatNap was able to use his tail as a jump rope.

With Theodore's transformation complete, CatNap can begin Phase 2 of his plan to do the same thing to the other kids in the orphanage like he did to Theodore by turning them all into the Smiling Critters, so they can stay young and happy for the rest of their lives and not having to worry about dying from age, disease, starvation, etc.

He can already started thinking about all the fun times that he and the other kids including Y/n being together as a loving family as he plans to adopt them all as his own kids after they all turned into his own kind as the Smiling Critters.

But for now, he has to make sure that Theodore will stay obedient and loyal to CatNap, so that he won't even think about betraying him after he transformed him into his exact double.

Right now, after Theodore was transformed into a perfect copy of CatNap, he's already trapped inside of his own dream and currently running away from a monsterous version of CatNap in the Dark Zone, completely terrified of what is happening inside his own head.

Theodore: (Screaming) Help me!

CatNap: No one can hear or save you now, Theodore. There's nowhere to run and hide from me. Just stop running and give yourself up, Theodore.

Theodore: No! Leave me alone!

Theodore just kept running from CatNap, but unfortunately for him, he soon ran into a dead end and was soon cornered by the savage beast.

CatNap: Got you! You got nowhere to run now, Theodore. Time for your punishment.

Theodore: (Crying) Please....Don't kill me. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...

CatNap: Kill you? Don't make me laugh, Theodore. I'm not gonna kill you at all.

Theodore: Y-you're not?

CatNap: No. Of course not. I'm not going to kill you, but I have something else in mind to punish you.

Theodore: W-what are you going to do?

CatNap: I'm going to break your mind! (Chuckles)

Theodore: Break my mind? What does that even mean?

CatNap: It's nothing too serious. Have you ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome?

Theodore: No. I don't think so.

CatNap: Well, you're about to find out, cause I'm gonna break both your mind and spirit until you have finally learned your lesson.
