“Freddy, I want to stay here in the pizzaplex. I don’t want to leave the one person who makes me feel like they can see me. I feel invisible to everyone, except for you.” Gregory said.
“You are staying? I am glad! There is one area we have not investigated that I would really like to share with you. Please hop inside me, Gregory, so you are safer on the journey there.”
Freddy opened his stomach hatch and Gregory hopped right in without even thinking twice. At the start of the night, Gregory had been very hesitant to climb inside a metal-beam-filled, wiry death trap, but he had grown accustomed to this new safe haven. Freddy is always very careful when moving around that Gregory doesn’t even have a scratch to show.
“Freddy, is it okay if I doze off while I’m in here? I don’t want you to feel lonely, but it’s really cozy and my adrenaline had been keeping me awake all night. Now I am ready to crash.” Gregory asked.
“Of course, Gregory! Would you like me to initiate lullaby protocols?”
“Lullaby protocols? How old do you think I am?”
“Well, according to the frequency of your voice, you havent hit puberty yet. Which happens at about 12 for males. Also according to-”
“Stop! Freddy, Stop!” Gregory shouted. He was lucky that Freddy could not see him right now because his face was turning red.
“Gregory, according to the cameras I have inside of my stomach hatch, you appear to be embarrassed. I apologize. I fear this is my fault.”
This only made Gregory want to bury himself in a hole so Freddy couldn’t see him, but he had to stick to covering his face with his hands. “Freddy, it’s fine… just- no! I don’t want a lullaby to be sung to me! Now let me sleep!”
“Of course Gregory. I will wake you up when we reach our destination. Sleep well, superstar.”
***Minutes later***
“Gregggggoryyyyy. It’s time to wake up, we are here.”
Gregory peaked open his eyes. It didn’t feel like he was asleep for long, but a power nap is a power nap. They were standing in front of a wall next to Bonnie Bowl. Freddy tapped on his stomach.
“Gregory? Are you awake?”
“Y-yes,” He struggled to respond while forcing his eyes to stay open, “I’m just hazy right now.” He grunted as he pushed on the hatch to climb out slowly. Freddy grabbed his shoulders and forced Gregory to face him.
“Wait here. I have to prepare something inside before we go in.” Freddy said.
“Inside? We are standing in front of a wall. Are you going into Bonnie Bowl?” Gregory asked.
“Just wait here. I promise to be right back.” Freddy said. He tapped on the wall and a panel slid open; Freddy slipped inside. Hushed voices came from the room and Gregory couldn’t help but peek inside. When his head came around the edge of the wall, his eyes widened.
In front of him stood two animatronics. Freddy—who had been his companion this whole night—and a purple bunny wearing a tacky bowling shirt. They were close to each other, in fact they had their arms wrapped around each other, chest to chest, their head’s on the other’s shoulder. They released some of the tightness from their embrace to stare into each other’s eyes with longful smiles. Freddy leaned in and started pecking the Bunny’s cheek.
“Ew! What are you guys doing in front of a kid?” Gregory exclaimed.
Both of their heads jerked towards the voice and Bonnie’s eyes were wide. If animatronics could blush, he would do it. Right now. Freddy seemed less surprised by this interruption.
“Gregory, I told you to wait outside.”
“Well I’m sorry! I didn’t realize you were going to need a whole fifteen minutes and shower to ‘prepare something inside’. Who knows what else I would have witnessed if I hadn’t stopped it!”
Bonnie was very lost. “Freddy, do you know this kid? Why is he here-” Bonnie gasped, “Freddy, you didn’t kidnap him, did you?”
“Bonnie! Who do you think I am? He wanted to stay here with me so I let him because he has grown a soft spot in me! I would never do such a horrid thing. Ask him!”
“Maybe I will!” Bonnie turned towards Gregroy. “Hey kid—Gregory, was it? Did Freddy force you to be here? I know better than anyone how attached he can get to things/people, so just say the word and I will get you away from the big scary bear.”
“I am not scary!” Freddy interjected.
“Hush Freddy!” Gregory said. “No, he didn’t force me to be here, Bonnie. And I have never considered him scary before, but now that you mention it… ” Gregory and Bonnie glared at Freddy with huge grins. Freddy pouted but didn’t respond.
“Well it’s nice to meet ya, kid. This is my little hiding spot from the public. Speaking of…” Bonnie moved towards the doorway and slid the panel shut. “There we go.
“Fazbear Entertainment gave me this little area to hide in. They felt bad completely scrapping me because Freddy cared for me so much. I guess it pays to be dating the star of the show.” Bonnie winked and walked back over to Freddy.
“Sometimes I feel you are only with me for the perks,” Freddy sighed.
“Oh please , how long did we date before they wanted to scrap me? I’m with you for the long haul.”
Freddy smiled. “Thanks Bonnie, it really means a lot that-”
Gregory yawned.
“Freddy, why haven’t you implemented lullaby protocols!?” Bonnie exclaimed.
“Urg! What is with you animatronics and thinking I’m so young?” Gregory asked, annoyed.
“It could be due to many things, but it is most likely the frequency of your voice!” Bonnie answered helpfully. “It indicates that you haven’t entered pubert-”
“Ew, stop! Just, do you guys have somewhere I can lay down and pass out for a few hours?” Gregory asked.
“Well we don’t have a bed since we don’t sleep, but we have a couch to cuddle on.” Bonnie answered, unashamed.
“Bonnie, I would appreciate it if you kept our private life a little more private.” Freddy begged.
“Look guys, I don’t care what you guys do as long as all you’ve done is cuddle on this couch.”
“Oh yes, everything in here is clean, so don’t worry about that! Freddy is too shy to do anything like what you are implying.”
“Bonnie!” Freddy exclaimed with his face in his paws.
“I love ya, dufas. You know I'm just teasing you,” he responded with a wink.
“Goodnight you guys,” Gregory interrupted.
“Oh, uh. Goodnight superstar.”
“Goodnight kiddo.”
Gregory quickly laid down and closed his eyes. He heard giggling and teasing coming from the two animatronics in the room. This life wouldn’t be so bad.
