Stuck in the PizzaPlex

Pick Up

When the elevators opened, they were in a hallway. They went along and saw a metal door that had a figure painted similar to Roxanne. The door moved so that they could walk through, and Caytor immediately clung to Gregory when he stared to see what looked to be some weird cylinder before them.

"W-What? What is that?" he shakily asks.

"That the protective cylinder for mechanics to help fix up any problem that the animatronics have or give them upgrades. And Freddy has a tendency to break down. The folks, thankfully, came to terms with that. Just came to pick him up and bring him back up from the stage." Gregory explains, walking down to a computer and tapping on a few buttons. Seconds later, the cylinder walls soon moved up and Freddy walked out.

"How are you feeling, Freddy?" Gregory asks, Caytor peering out from behind the animatronic.

"A bit better. Did I break down during the performance?" he asks with a hint of worry.

"Surprisingly no. You malfunctioned in your room. I had to hurry to get a small amount of folks out before taking you to Parts and Service. And since I had to go to Roxanne's room to tell her that her alone time was up with Caytor, I decided to bring him down here with us."

Freddy looks down and smiles in relief to see Caytor. "There you are. Fully rested, I hope?"

Caytor hums with a nod of his head. "I don't feel that tired anymore. But I'm still sleepy." he responds.

"Well, it's almost closing time. Come on, we can take the elevator from the main stage and head on up."

Caytor nods his head and flinches when Freddy's chest cavity suddenly opens, but looks over when Gregory chuckles fondly, shaking his head.

"M-My apologies!" Freddy stammers, closing them shut and making Gregory's shoulders shake as he stifled back his laughter. "I-I was just brought back to a few years ago when Gregory was your age, and-..." Freddy's ears lowered in embarrassment as Gregory finally let out loud cackling and wheezing while Caytor looked at the security guard and back to Freddy.

"And Gregory would go into your chest cavity?" the boy slowly finishes.

"Yes, so that he can be safe." Freddy nods his head. Caytor stares at the stomach hatches before hesitantly walking over.

The hatches automatically opened, and he looked over as Gregory as he managed to get a few of his breath and nod to him before resuming laughing. Caytor giggles before heaving himself up. There, he turned around and pulled his legs close to his chest as the hatches closed. For some reason, it felt a bit roomy there.

Dang, he really is that smaller.

He could see through Freddy's eyes as the animatronic went to help Gregory up and they head through the maze that is Parts and Service.

"But me being in here has to happen, does it?" Caytor asks as he looks around.

"Yup." Gregory nods his head, turning on his own flashlight as they walked. "Because even after all these years, this certain area of Parts and Service is a bit... hazardly. That and it would make Freddy question his literal existence for a good minute." Gregory explains.

Caytor's gaze stuck on a few endoskeletons and slowly nodded his head, staring at its blowing red eyes that made a shiver crawl up his spine. "R-Right." he nods his head.

After a few minutes that felt more like hours, they finally entered the area that had the elevator of the stage. Upon the platform, Gregory presses the button.

"Alright, you're safe now." Freddy says, opening his stomach hatch and Caytor manages to get out after a bit of struggling and Gregory picking him out eventually.

"It's dangerous down there because of those things down there, isn't it?" Caytor asks as he was let down and held tightly to Gregory's hand.

"Mhm. That's why we mainly use the main stage or the green room's way to head down to the Parts and Service." Gregory explains, the lift finally getting to the main area. There were still a few people around the area, and they seemed excited when they saw them ascend on the stage.

But as they were walking off the stage and went to go elsewhere, a voice from elsewhere made Caytor stop.

"Why is Josephs here, miss?"
