Somebody Ought to Remember

“There you are, Tumble!” Bumble said with relief as his eyes fell upon his partner. “I've been looking all over for you. What are you doing in here?”

Tumble turned her gaze over her shoulder before returning her eyes to the mural on the bathroom wall in front of her. “I was just thinking...”

“You do an awful lot of that.” Bumble replied with a chuckle. “Every time I ask what you're doing you say you're thinking.”

“Well, I am.” She replied with a huff. “I have a lot to think about.”

“Are you nervous?” Bumble pried. “They're almost done with the renovations and then we'll be open for business. I'm excited but... a bit nervous too. Is that what you're thinking about?”

Tumble shook her head and wrapped her arms around herself. “No. I'm not nervous. I know we'll do great and I think the kids will like us.”

“Oh.” Bumble cast her a small smile despite that her back was still turned to him. He stepped forward and joined his partner's side, turning his eyes up to the mural she was looking at. “Are you thinking about them?”

“I just want to know what happened.” She muttered. “Why won't they tell us what happened?”

“It's probably for the best we don't know.” Bumble answered with a shrug.

“But aren't you curious?” Tumble's gaze snapped over to Bumble before she looked back up at the painting of the solar themed animatronic on the wall. “They were important once. This whole place was built around them and now they're being erased entirely. I can't help but wonder what happened to them. Why are they gone? Why are we here in their place? I-is the same thing going to happen to us eventually?”

Bumble let out a sighing sound and placed his hand on his partner's shoulder. “Hey, it's like you said... we'll do great and the kids will like us. As long as that remains true we've got nothing to worry about. Right?”

“R-right.” She uttered with a nod.

“Good. Now come on... we're really not supposed to be here.”

“Just a few more minutes?” Tumble asked softly. “Please? They're coming to paint over it today. I just don't want to forget what they looked like. Somebody ought to remember them...”
