Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 38

Saphira was finally dressed when Freddy gave her the space to get dressed. Well, he left the cubicle and closed the door, that was how she finally could get dressed. She was wearing a new pair of purple pants and a Roxy sweater, it definitely was not appropriate securty guard attire, but she would explain to Darren what happened. But she didn't want to give him all the details of course, so she didn't have to come to the pizzaplex and discover he had joined the disappeared. She was still thinking about the kiss she and Freddy had just shared with each other. Her heart was still beating quickly as she thought about it. The way he kissed her was so gentle, despite feeling how strong those lips were, they were actually so smooth and soft. She could not help but touch her own lips as she thought about them. Was this how all people felt from their first kiss? She did not truly know. And in a sense, she gave Freddy confirmation of her own feelings, even if it was not words.

Right now though, Saphira tried to focus on fixing Freddy and doing a routine maintenance on Chica. He has already told her she should assist Chica first, as her issue would not take as long as it would him. Saphira still worried that waiting would be bad, but Freddy reassured her that was not the case. She hated hearing him limp...it was horrible. And standing on the lift going down to Parts and Service with Chica, Freddy and Bonnie...she was still on edge. Roxy, Foxy and Monty were clearing up the destroyed staff bots trying to make it seem like nothing happened. They hoped it would be enough, because they knew how much trouble they all would be if Darren found out, or even Mr Miller, that is if anything was ever reported to him.

The thud of the lift brought her out of her thoughts and she sighed deeply, stepping onto the ramp and walking towards Parts and Service. She glanced around nervously in case this clown, rabbit dressed lunatic was back down here. "I will keep an eye on everything while you work on our friends Saphira. I will alert you if something happens." Saphira did not feel too comforted by Bonnie's words, but she was glad that he would keep a look out. "I have to say though, you were very amazing Saphira."

"What do you mean?" Saphira did not look back at Bonnie as she was walking ahead of the animatronics.

"You kicked so many staff bot heads, I didn't see that coming...nor did I expect you to run up to him. It was like your fear had gone away. It was amazing to see."

She smiled slightly, she didn't really think the animatronics would care about that too much. "That is very nice of you to say Bonnie. But please understand I was terrified for my life. I only did what I had to, to defend myself. And..." She clenched her hands slightly and shakes her head. "I was angry...I am done playing games."

"So what happens if he comes back?" Chica asked curiously. She gasped as she stumbled suddenly, causing Saphira to jump a few steps forward and turn in surprise. "Ugh! My legs..."

"Wow...I didn't realize they were that bad..." Saphira glanced at Freddy and Bonnie for a moment, Bonnie was shouldering Freddy right now and he was not able to help Chica. "I guess you were right to check her first Chica...even though I am still not convinced."

"I know, you saw him punch me. It was very unpleasant, but I am not going to deactivate or malfunction. I will lean against something as sitting might not be a good idea for the moment." She knew he'd lean against the cylinder and that was okay.

"But be honest, what will you do if that clown comes back?" Bonnie asked curiously as Saphira did not answer Chica.

"All bets are off Bonnie. He scares me, but..." She glanced back at Freddy and took a deep breath. "I will stand by and watch him hurt you."

"What do you mean by that exactly?" Freddy's expression changes to worry about what Saphira might do.

She did not want to answer him, she doubted any of them would like what she had to say. "All I can say is...he won't be walking." She turned away from them and pushed open the doors, holding them open for the animatronics to walk through.
