Arcade Gamers

Freddy POV

"Hey, Fazbear," an Australian voice called through the Faz-Watch. "Monty was able to convince me to play a few arcade games before our hourly recharge. If you got some extra juice left, we'll meet ya at his mini golf course." There was a pause, but the watch continued the voice message. "That place gives me the creeps sometimes, bro. And be careful with Ness! She doesn't look happy today. Well, she never looks happy."

Freddy chuckled at the voice message. The building had closed. The animatronic was nearly finished tidying up his room after children have visited the pizzaplex, and he did in fact have some extra juice left. As Freddy adjusted a few more items, he thought through the outcomes. I only have an hour and three quarters left before shutting down. Arcade games typically take 50 minutes to win. I also need to stay away from Officer Vanessa. Freddy saw this opportunity quite risky, but the thought of his brothers waiting so long just to know hours later that Freddy decided to recharge made his eyes frown. I'll do it. For my friends.

"I'll be there shortly, Bon. Don't start a single game until I come." Freddy sent the message to Bonnie's contact before exiting to the utility tunnels.

Freddy looked back at his battery and sighed by the fact that he only had 60 minutes left. He hated his crappy, Apple battery. He couldn't shut down in the middle of a game and become a hassle for his friends. Officer Vanessa's scoldings punch the gut hard. Freddy rushed his speed, causing the ground to quake. He mentally hoped that it wouldn't be suspicious for the night guard.

Alligator roars slowly started to grow louder as Freddy rushed farther through the tunnel that leads to Monty Golf. Once Freddy entered the large golf attraction, soothing jungle music played in the background. The area was quite dim as only the pathway, golf courses, and a few more places were illuminated.

Freddy scanned the area in search for his friends. He was able to locate them east of his position, standing besides an arcade cabinet. Freddy jogged toward their location, the ground quaking once more.

Soon enough, Freddy heard two recognizable voices, a gruff voice and an Australian voice, chatting distinctly with each other. Their chatter stopped when Freddy finally approached them from the brushes. Their eyes glowed brighter at the sight of their brother.

"You made it, Fred!" the purple bunny said happily.

"I couldn't let my brothers down," Freddy said as he gave Bonnie a fist bump. "It's good to see you too, Monty." Freddy held up his hand.

"It's good to see you too, bud." Monty grasped the bear's hand and shook it firmly. "Let's go to the West Arcade. I have a score to beat there."

"Are you sure? Can't we go to Superstar Arcade or play this arcade cabinet right here." Freddy patted the (monty golf arcade game).

Bonnie and Monty stared at Freddy with half-lidded eyes. "I already beaten this one, and the Superstar Arcade games are for newbies," Monty complained.

Bonnie nodded. "Gator dude is right. Plus, I want to check out an Arcade cabinet at the West Arcade. You aren't going to dance like John Travolta over there. DJ is down for some maintenance, remember?"

"Don't tell me you're traumatized after the last time you went there."

Freddy sighed at his defeat. "No, I just wanted to consider other possibilities. We can go to the West Arcade."

"Yes!" the other two animatronic cheered silently. Freddy rolled his eyes at their victory.

The three robots travelled through the utility tunnels. Bonnie muttered about how stupid his system forgot about the tunnels, and Monty later started up a conversation about the day. "So how was today? Any birthdays, complainers, or performances?"
