Day 3x3 - Down the Lane

Day 3x3 - Down the Lane

"That's how it's done!"

You feel this is a good time for questions. Maybe not with Bonnie but there were other things in the plex you weren't clear about.

"So what's the deal with Gregory? Who is he?"

"He's a friend of the plex. There was an incident last year, but Gregory managed to save us and the plex. Since then he's allowed to come whenever he wants. He was-uh---is-related to Vanessa." You could tell from his body language that he almost revealed some secret about Vanessa and Gregory but chose not to pursue it further. Asking that almost threw off Freddy's concentration.

You vaguely remember seeing something about the plex having an earthquake or something when you were sifting through those headlines but didn't read the full details. That must what he's referring to.

Freddy's ball rolls down the lane slowly moving to hit the lone pin on the side. It collides perfectly with the pin knocking it to the side. The pin then hits the two pins on the right clearing the board for a spare. The shot looked like something out of a movie. You had no clue how Freddy pulled that off.

A strange animation of a white and blue Freddy with a puppet of what seemed to be Bonnie plays. Bowling animations were always weird to you.

"That's how it's done!" Freddy glees.

The pins clear and the machine sets up for your turn.

It was your turn now. Picking up a dark red ball you get ready at the lane. Your shoes were hardly made for the smooth floor but you can manage. Being extra carful you jerk your arm back and let the ball roll down the lane fast.

It goes straight down until the end when it swerves slightly and knocks most of the pins on the right.

"We lost most of the band at that time. I was the only one left. They managed to fix everyone though, with Gregory's help. It took a while."

"What happened?" You pick up a ball as you wait for the machine to get ready.

"I. I would rather not speak about it." Freddy looked away, guilt filling his face.

"I couldn't talk to Gregory for a week when I found out. But he had to do it. I made sure he fixed everyone up though. Even got rid of my upgrades."

You had no idea what he was referring to but it seemed to have been resolved. Maybe Gregory destroyed the animatronics for some reason? You figure you'll just ask Vanessa later. Maybe even Gregory if you got a chance. Either way it was a tough topic for him.

You ready your shot. "Well, at least they're all fixed now." You shot hits most of the pins but leaves 2 left. "Darn." You say.

"The plex was closed for a month as we all fixed everything, Me, Gregory, Vanessa and many other people. There was a lot of work to do."

Freddy seemed to be lost in thought, he didn't even notice your screw-up.

"Uh, Freddy?" You ask. "Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking." He noticed your score. "Ah, don't feel so bad. I've had plenty of time to practice." He picks up his trademarked Freddy ball and gets into position. You take a seat by the console.

"The others were mad at Gregory for a while but they eventually understood what had happened. Even Sun." Freddy said.

He genuflected and took his shot. It rolled perfectly down the centre hitting and knocking out all of the pins. It was a strike.

A bizarre animation of a whole slew of animatronics you didn't recognize played. You saw primitive versions of what seemed to be the band dancing. The whole thing looked eerie. Nothing like the Freddy and the band you had seen so far.
