"What?!" Anais said shocked. This is a first hearing of an extreme weather lockdown. "This can't be happening, this can't be happening!!!" Mike shouts pulling at his beanie hat.

"I'm afraid it is." They all turned around at the sound of high heels clacking with each footstep. "Miss Fletcher, I mean no disrespect but what the actual hell is this?!" Vanessa demanded. The brunette sighs asking the seven of them to find a place to have a seat. "It was bound to happen, anyway."
"What was bound to happen?" Vincent asked.

"Not too long ago, I was on a conference call with the higher ups and one of the concerns was what would happen to the pizzaplex in the case of extreme weather. You remember last month a blizzard snowed us in that weekend before Christmas." Fritz nodded remembering that December. "I remember there was an ice skating area that we did annually like Rockefeller Center does only it's not as big as in New York." The others nodded recalling the mini skating rink. "I remember the blizzard, Miss Sarah." Said Jeremy. "Right and it was really bad and everything was buried in deep thick layers of snow, cars, the roads, you name it, nothing but the white stuff and it knocked out the electricity and we were lucky to have found the generators that have kept us from freezing to death."

"Where exactly are you going with this?" Mike questioned. "Well, the higher ups made the decision to add in extra safety protocols in cases for extreme weather making sure nobody gets in or out until we get the okay and it's safe to come out." She tells them.

"When I came in for my shift, the sky was turning an ominously dark gray." Said the redheaded waitress.
"The sky turned gray?! But the weather report just said there wouldn't be any rain coming our way!" Jeremy was beginning to panic until Vanessa tells him to snap out of it. "Even Mother Nature wants to think it's funny to screw us all over tonight." Vincent said annoyed wanting nothing more than to go home and treat his injuries caused by an irascible senile old woman and maybe recover whatever shredded bits of dignity he had lost.

"The point of the matter is, with this lockdown, no one can get in or out unless someone who has the skills of an internet hacker to bypass the system." Sarah tells them. "It's also best to look on the brighter side of things. We have this facility all to ourselves and what would you guys do in a situation like this, think of it as what would do if you had your favorite amusement park all to yourself." They all pondered until Jeremy's eyes lit up. "I call dibs on Superstar Daycare!"

"Fazbear Theater and seeing if I can find a way to set a streaming service up." Said Mike taking off in Jeremy's direction.
"I'll come with you and I have a long overdue binge date with Sherlock." She follows after the male security guard.

"If anyone needs me, I'll be kicking ass and taking names at Fazerblast." Said Fritz.

"Roxy Raceway here I come!" Scott nabs Vincent by the shirt and takes him to a first aid station, "At least have these injuries of yours looked at. The raceway is still undergoing renovations and do you want to end up in the hospital?!" He said nothing and lets the other guard take him to tend to his inflicted wounds. "I'll be making the rounds." Vanessa said grabbing her trusty flashlight. Leaving Anais to her musings and head back to Rockstar Row and head to Freddy's room knocking at the door. "Anais, I thought you had left for the night."
"I wish I did but, this place went under an extreme weather lockdown." Said the ginger woman. "How very unfortunate." Said the glamrock animatronic. "I know and my phone had been buzzing and bugging me all day about a severe weather warning in the area. I'm sure the others have dealt with this before." She said grabbing her smartphone from her jean pocket and pulls up a weather update and sees the headline of the biggest and dangerous electrical storm about to ravage the area.

Gregory looks over to the two from the couch. "Does this mean you're staying?"
"Unfortunately so until this storm passes." She then notices the sleeping corner Freddy made for the boy. "Is that one of those bean bag beds that come with a blanket?" The duo nodded. "How did you get it, I've seen these things from an As Seen on TV commercial when I was at home mindlessly flipping through channels for something good to watch."
"It is and there's a story to it as well."

This Anais has got to hear, the golden eyed ginger finds her spot on the red couch as Freddy spins his story of how he got his hands on that bean bag bed for Gregory's sleeping corner of the room.

"You're lucky that nothing important is broken," Scott says placing one last bandage on his injured cheek and making sure the eyepatch Vincent was wearing held an IcyHot compress to treat his black eye. "Well my pride was." He said to him, "be that as it may, Vanessa came just in time to save your hide from that chair." Just the mention of the female guard's name made him blush violently, "I know that too! She probably thinks I'm a major loser and second biggest wimp next to Jeremy!" Scott wanted to say something else but held back on it. "She doesn't think you're a wimp," his purple orbs had a little flicker of hope, "I'm not sure on the loser part." He muttered under his breath. "I still can't believe I got beaten senseless by a senior citizen!" They stuck around the first aid station a little longer before heading out and take advantage of this storm lockdown and maybe get Vanessa to change her mind on how she sees him.

Down by Fazbear Theater, Mike and Sarah got lucky pulling up a streaming selection to choose between Hulu, Disney+, Netflix and HBO Max for them to stream on the theater screen. "Have any requests tonight?" She asks holding the remote. "I've had this movie I've been wanting to see but never got the chance to because of other things." Sarah nods in understanding and takes out from her tote purse a travel sized wine cooler and two glasses surprising him. "Miss, you didn't!"
"I did and since we're gonna be stuck here, might as well make the most of it." She said handing him a glass and picks out the Studio Ghibli film Howl's Moving Castle. "You are the embodiment of what it means to be a girlboss." He tells her. "Stop it, Mike, I'm not that big of a girlboss." She said opening the wine bottle letting the lockdown fun begin.
