"Do you remember... nothing?"

"Yes! But also no!"

"So, you remember some things?"

"Yeah that!"

"So what do you remember?"

"I was practicing guitar in my room when Officer Vanessa told me there was a kid in the Pizzaplex! I went to look for him, but he kept running away. And I was... I was super hungry, Freddy." That was the weirdest part. She had been programmed to feel a sense of "hunger", it helped her know when the kids needed a break from exercising to eat and get water, and she had been given a special trash compartment where food would go so that she could "eat" with them. It wasn't abnormal for her to be hungry at night and go eat a pizza, but last night was different. The hunger wouldn't go away no matter what she did.

"And that is all you remember?"

"I know I ended up in the trash compactor, but I don't know how I got there. Anyways, what do you remember?" Silence stretched through the room as Freddy contemplated. Chica tapped out beats on her leg and was about to ask again when he finally responded.

"There was a child in the Pizzaplex, his name is Gregory. He found a way into my stomach hatch between the show and me going back to my room." Chica gasped.

"But your stomach hatch isn't a safe play area!"

"I know! But he found a way inside. I couldn't contact the main office and decided to help him get out. He did not trust Officer Vanessa."

"Why didn't he?"

"She was not herself. She was trying to hurt him." 

"That's horrible! But, why couldn't he trust the rest of us?"

"You remember chasing him, correct?"

"Duh, I just said that. We were trying to take him to Van... oh."

"That is why. You were not yourselves either. Whatever was making Officer Vanessa act how she did was also affecting you three. None of you would talk to me and you kept trying to hurt him." No she couldn't have. They're not allowed to hurt children! It goes against their programming. 

"Gregory was scared and... Gregory is the reason that you all broke. You kept chasing him and he had to hurt you to save himself."

"Well... I'm glad he did it!" Freddy spun around to stare at her.

"Chica what-"

"If he didn't get me in that crusher somehow then I would have hurt him. I never, never ever, want to hurt a kid Freddy. Especially one that you care about."

-----------------

"What do you want to do kid?"

"Hmm?" Gregory looked up from his near empty plate.

"After dinner. Do you just want to go to bed? I have movies we could watch if you want." 

"I'm pretty tired."

"Alright, let me go see if I have anything you can wear to sleep." Vanessa took her plate to the sink and started to load the dishwasher.

"What?"

"Well, your clothes need to be washed and I'm pretty sure it's not too comfortable sleeping in cargo shorts. Hand me your dishes when you're done so I can run this." Gregory ate the last bit of chicken and handed the plate and silverware over before going back to the couch.

Vanessa finished loading the dishes and turned it on. She went to wash her hands and winced at how hot the water was. Going to turn the heat down she realized that it was lukewarm at best, her hands were just ice cold.
