Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 33

Returning to Rockstar Row was like a big relief. She waved politely to the animatronics as she passed by their rooms until she reached Freddy's room. He was still standing by the window waiting for her, he smiled and waved to her enthusiastically. She smiled at him as his excitement whenever he sees her was a privilege to her. She can't remember anyone ever being like that with her in her whole life. It really was nice and yet strange to her, but she definitely was not complaining. As she walked through his door, Freddy extended his arms to hug her, she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his chest happily, feeling the warmth of his body around her and she felt herself relax.

"Looks like we have about an hour before I have to do a final sweep, unless you get called down to Parts and Service. Who is getting the maintenance done tonight anyway?" Saphira looked up at him curiously she assumed it was the same as last week.

"Bonnie, Foxy and Roxy get theirs tonight...although..." Freddy placed a hand on his stomach hatch and Saphira glanced at it slightly. "I had balloons in my stomach hatch today, they popped before I could give them to a child. I think some of it is stuck, I've asked Cliff for a maintenance check and he's agreed."

"Balloon pieces can be real nasty," Saphira said with a smile, patting his stomach gently and walked around him to take a seat on the couch. "Don't tell me it has been like that all day though."

"No, not all day. Half of the day it has, and when they popped, some of my parts haven't been moving as well as they should. At least, that is what it feels like to me." She was still amazed at how in tune they were with their own bodies. It was a good thing honestly, that way problems could be dealt with when found. "Other than that, the rest of my body feels good. I'd ask you to help right now, but after Roxy...it is best we do not try anything."

"I agree." She glanced at the seat beside her and smiled at him, she pats the space beside her. "Come and sit next to me. We should enjoy taking our feet off for the night."

"I'd like to, but sitting makes me uncomfortable right now. I tried sitting before, and the balloon pieces seemed to get tangled more. I'd rather stand for the time being. Sorry Saphira, I want to, but I just can't right now."

She was surprised the balloon pieces were causing this much of an issue for Freddy. But she knew those plastic pieces could be a big issue, so it was not really a surprise in a way. "It must be bad...well, I will definitely be helping with that so you're feeling as good as new."

"I know you will." Freddy smiled at her. He tilts his head slightly. "Huh...for some reason, my scanners detect you are broken." She blinked in surprise, she did not think he would pick that up. "Are they malfunctioning, or are you hurt?"

Saphira shrugged and curled her fingers a little to hide the redness in her palms. "It is nothing serious Freddy. I just tripped on some stairs that is all."

"Will you need the first aid station?"

She shakes her head at him. "No, first aid won't do anything now. I will be fine, don't worry Freddy."

Freddy was silent for a moment, he was thinking whether or not to believe her. "Did you injure yourself in the utility tunnels?"

"Uhhh...no, no," Saphira responded quickly. "Like I said, it is no big deal Freddy. It's just a bruise. It will go away within a couple days." She did not want to tell him she heard a clown in the utility tunnels and that was the reason why she was injured was because she ran out of the tunnels fearing she was being chased. "If I was not here and at the hospital instead, then it would be a bigger worry."

Freddy didn't know what a hospital was, he has heard the word a few times when guests were injured and needed to leave for further medical attention. But as far as he knew, a hospital was for very bad injuries and it didn't sound good to him. "I guess so. I would not be able to see you if you were somewhere else."
