let's restart?

an old friend.

it had been ten years since gregory escaped the mega pizzaplex. he was happy to have escaped, but something was telling him to go back. telling him to stay.

he missed freddy. a lot.

after leaving the pizzaplex, he grew up in an orphanage. he made friends, those friends got adopted, he made more friends, they got adopted too. seems he had no luck with family.

he was now twenty years old. he had a job at a near by fast food restaurant. he had a bike that he'd ride around to places. after he managed to get enough money, he left the orphanage and got a small apartment.

one day, he decided to buy a ticket to the pizzaplex.

it was a bright, monday morning when he arrived at the pizzaplex. he was amazed to see it still looked the same. however, there seemed to be new animatronics.

once he got to the main atrium, map-bot had scared him at the exit of the elevator, like he had when gregory was younger.

he got some food and sat down at a table.

as he started to eat, the show was beginning. he turned to watch.

"ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! please welcome, the one. the only.. freddy fazbear!!"

suddenly the bots appeared on stage, using the elevator gregory and freddy had used to get down to parts and services.

he watched the large animatronic bear sing and dance. monty, chica, and roxy had been fixed. however, there was another bot up there.

could that be..?

"bonnie!?" gregory said to himself. he watched as the bunny played the bass, while monty had begun playing the drums. chica danced around playing her guitar. roxy wasn't as bouncy as chica, but seemed to be having fun.

gregory was still sort of scared of these bots though. he had never met bonnie, and the last time her saw the other three, they were trying to kill him!!

—- time skip —-

the show ended, and it was announced that the bots would be in rockstar row, taking pictures with guests.

gregory had to think of a way to see freddy.

quickly, he left the atrium as the show was going on, to go to rockstar row. there wasn't many people nearby, so he was able to steal a pass to get into freddy's room.

when he was first here, he learned the ins and outs of this building. all the hiding places, where everything was, etc. so this was a simple task.

he got into freddy's room and ran to hide in the recharge station.

—- time skip —-

gregory heard the door open, and then close. then, loud, heavy footsteps following after. and then a long sigh. it was freddy. gregory got out of the charging station. freddy must have heard, because when gregory opened and closed the door, freddy asked "who's there?!"

gregory was scared the bear would not recognize him.

he was standing in the middle of the back room, when the door burst open and freddy was standing there. it was dark, so freddy could not see him.

"who are you?" freddy asked.

"hello again," gregory said with a smile, as he walked towards freddy. he stopped a few feet away from the bear, his face now in the light coming from freddy's room.

"oh my.." freddy said, before pulling gregory into a large hug. "gregory! you're— you're back?? but why?"

"because," gregory said as he hugged back the bear, "i wanted to see you."

gregory was much taller now, when he'd first met freddy, he was up to freddy's waist. now he was up to freddy's bowtie.

gregory started crying.

"oh no, no, no! what happened?!" freddy yelled, pulling back.

"it's nothing. heh. i just.. missed you." the truth was, gregory had looked up to freddy as the father figure he had never had. so to see the bear again, made him sad. nothing bad though.

"it's just, i had looked up to you like you were my.. father. almost. yeah. and.. ah, i don't know. i just missed you. i've been alone for a long time."

"what happened after you left, gregory? where did you go?"

gregory explained where he went afterwards. how he got a job, an apartment. how his friends growing up had all left him due to being adopted.

"oh gregory.. i.. i am so sorry."

"ah, it's fine. i guess. i managed." gregory said, shrugging his shoulders.

"yes. well, i still cannot believe you are back, and you look so.. different. in a good way!" freddy didn't want to remind gregory of this anymore, so decided to change the subject.

"yeah," gregory chuckled a bit. "i've changed a lot. i was a little scared to come back here though, since last time the other three were kinda trying to kill me.." he sad.

"i- i am sorry about that, gregory. they are better now. vanny is gone, she has been gone."

"oh! that reminds me, i was watching your show for a few minutes before coming back here, and, who's the bunny? i remember you saying something about a bunny when we had gone into the bowling alley. bonnie, right? was he fixed?"

"oh! yes! bonnie's casing was found in the dumpster below the pizzaplex. he was rebuilt using another endo-skeleton a few years after you left."

"oh.. wow."
