Finally back again! Hurricane, Utah. Its pretty empty here but still so many memories. I drove past my old family house, looking at how it aged. Of course it was lonely and nobody bought it over the years. It looked pretty broken. I put the radio music up and decided to leave it behind...

I stopped at a little Diner, then got out of the car. Its been a while. Carlton,Jessica,John... and Charlie. I never really liked Charlotte but she was part of our friend group after all.
"HEY Y/N!" someone screamed my name. It was Jessica waving me to their table. I sat down and listened to their conversation. Jessi lives in New York and John wanted to write books. I was wondering where the others are because I thought I was the last to arrive. "Where is everyone else?" Charlie asked. "Oh, Marla and Lamar are coming tomorrow morning. Marla's bringing her little brother. Can you believe it?" Jessica answered.
I almost jumped out of the chair: "JASON? Last time we saw him, he was a baby! I can't wait!"
The others looked surprised at my happiness and I just smiled back. John began to talk about what will happen tomorrow. I totally forgot why we are here again...
"...Yeah. What do we even say to Micheal's Parents?" The happy mood changed instantly when Jessica asked.
Charlie and Carlton talked about if he ever sees them. "Not really... I'm surprised they stayed in Hurricane." He just played around with his drink. His body has never been found. How could they not have secretly hoped he might come home, no matter how impossible it was? How could they leave the only home Micheal knew?
While I was thinking, they talked about John's Author dream. He actually published something in a Magazine. It wasn't big but still he achieved what he dreamed of.
"Hey, Carlton." I began to talk. "Whatever happened to Freddy's anyway?" He looked shocked about what I just asked. And immediatelylooked at Charlie: "They built over it. I don't know what. It's too far back from the road to see. It's been blocked off for years, under construction. You can't even tell if Freddy's is still in there."
"So it could still be there?!" I asked.
"What? Wanna ask me out on a date there?" He started flirting. Since we were children, me and Carlton were really close. And we were in love till our ways crossed, seems like he still is. I just chuckled and didn't answer. Charlie stood up: "I'm going to go outside for a minute." We looked worried after her. She had a pretty traumatic past in the Pizzeria. John ran after her and we were sitting there not knowing what to do. We agreed to go outside as well.
"Hey, remember that time at Freddy's when the Merry-go-round got stuck?" Jessica told us a memory deep inside of our head. "And Marla had to keep riding it until her parents plucked her off?" Carlton began to burst out laughing. "Yeah, her face was bright red, crying like a baby!" I said laughing. She puked everwhere! For the rest of the day we just talked about nostalgia and the memory's we had in that restaurant. Which Animatronic was our favourite and how attached we were to them. Charlie mentions how the yellow fur was so soft. We then laughed and corrected her since It was brown.
"We could go there!" John says happily. Me and Carlton looked at each other worried since it could've Been a bad idea.
"Let's do it. Even if there is nothing. I want to see." Of course Charlie changed everybody's mind, while I was still thinking about what could happen.
