"Go on, Superstar!" Freddy helped calm him down, but he was still scared. Near the exit was Vanessa, Vanny, whatever her name was supposed to be. She was good now, Freddy said so, but he was still scared. What if it was an act? What if she turned him over to the police? What if-

somehow knowing just what to say, Freddy comforted him, "It is okay, I will protect you no matter what!" Despite having no body to pto text him with, the sentiment dis help Gregory calm down. He walked towards the exit, clutching the strap of the duffel bag tighter. Vanessa(?) gave him a tired smile and jingled her keys.

"C'mon kid. I think you deserve some ice cream."

The drive was quiet, Gregory clutching the duffle bag tightly in his lap the entire time, terrified that Vanessa would take it away. She didn't though. She just drove them to a small 24-hour convenience store advertising ice cream, slushees, and hot dogs in addition to whatever else you needed.

"Do you want to eat it here or go somewhere else?"

"...somewhere else."

"Gotcha," Vanessa climbed out of the car and waited for Gregory to follow. When he didn't she bent down to see inside the car. "Are you coming in? Or are you going to wait in the car?" Gregory didn't move, refusing to make eye contact. Vanessa pushed some stray hairs behind her ear before letting out a small sigh. "What do you want?"

"I don't care."

"Alright," She closed the car door and went inside the small store.

Gregory opened up the glove compartment the second she was inside the building. It had a bunch of paperwork and a couple of coins that he quickly pocketed but nothing important. He was half expecting to find a gun and have to run. Gregory searched through the things strewn about the car before he saw Vanessa approaching in the rearview mirror. She was holding a mint chocolate chip cone and a plastic package. Gregory opened the door for her and she passed him the plastic package.

"Don't open in until we're out of the car, got it?"

"Mhmm," Vanessa started the car and drove back in the direction of the Pizzaplex. Fear grabbed Gregory's heart and he was about to jump out of the car when Vanessa pulled off onto a small dirt road. It took them to a small grassy area overlooking a hill.

"Alright kid, we're here."

The plastic package apparently held an "Orange Rockstar Bear" character pop that Gregory gleefully devoured as Vanessa licked her ice cream.

"I don't know who they're trying to fool, it's obviously Freddy. How has Fazbear Entertainment not pounced on them yet?"

"I dunnow."

"One of the great mysteries of life." She said wistful tonely. She dropped the faux-tone for the next thing she said. "Alright Gregory, where am I taking you after this?"

"Huh?"

"Where do you live? I have to get you home at some point."

"You can just drop me off anywhere. I'll get home on my own."

"Oh no mister. I need an address." Gregory tensed as he realized he would have to explain his situation.

"I don't have one." Confusion crossed Vanessa's face before she realized what he meant.

"You're homeless?"

"WHAT!?" Vanessa nearly dropped her ice cream as Freddy exclaimed inside the bag.

"JESUS FUCK WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?"

"Apologies Officer Vanessa! I assumed that you were aware of my presence!"

"I VERY MUCH WAS NOT! You gave me a heart attack Jesus Christ."

"Gregory, is what she says true?" His stomach turned, he didn't want Freddy to know.

"... mhmm."

"Superstar..." Vanessa put a hand to her temple and let out a sigh.

"Alright, let's figure this out. Gregory, get Freddy out of that bag." He put the ice pop in his mouth as he lifted Freddy out of the bag.

"Superstar, if you are homeless then where are your parents? Are they also homeless? How will we find them if-"

"Freddy stop. I don't- I don't have parents."

"But- every child has parents! Who took you to the Pizzaplex then? Did you come with a family member?"

"No I- I snuck in."

"That why you weren't registered as a guest. Alright kid, let's figure this out. First problem, you stole Freddy's head and Fazbear Entertainment can track that sucker."

"I couldn't just leave him there! He-" Vanessa held up a hand.

"Let me finish. Second, we have to figure out what to do with you. I'm not dropping you off on a street corner but I'm assuming you don't want me going to the police."

"Yes please."

"I figured. But I also can't just take you home with me. I'd get arrested for kidnapping." A silence passed between the three as Gregory continued to eat his ice pop and observe Vanessa. She licked her ice cream and put a hand behind her head.

"Gregory could stay with me!" Freddy spoke up and almost caused Vanessa to have a second heart attack judging by the look on her face.

"You want him to live at the Pizzaplex?"

"Yes! That way no one will get arrested but Gregory will still be taken care of! It is a perfect plan!"

"Freddy he can't live in the Pizzaplex. The only food there is shitty pizza and caffeinated sugar. Not to mention the lack of beds and other essential things."

"You could bring me food and I'm pretty sure there was a bed in Vanny's room." Vanessa closed her eyes and bit into the cone, making a satisfying crunch.

"You two are not going to let this go are you," she sighed before giving them a tired smile "Alright, I'll drive you back and we'll try it out."

"YES!"

"Splendid!"

"BUT if anything happens, you get sick or it's uncomfortable or whatever, you're coming back to my apartment and we'll tell everyone that you're my nephew. Got it?"

"Absolutely Officer Vanessa!! I will make sure that Gregory is safe no matter what!" Gregory smiled at that and ate the final bit of his ice pop. They could get Freddy fixed up and spend forever at the Pizzaplex.
