Day 5Bx1 - A Pair of Troublemakers

"Once a troublemaker, always a troublemaker!"

With a disgruntled wave goodbye Gregory left you and Bonnie behind. Moon likewise waved though with slightly more enthusiasm. After all, he liked the two of you. What he was with now was more...troublesome.

Gregory knew the plex inside and out, all over. He didn't even need a map to know the route to go.

Of course the last time he was forced into this situation he was with an unstoppable machine like Freddy. This time he was with...Moon.

He sighed. This was going to be a long trip.

The two walked in silence. Gregory's attention was on the watch. He was checking routes and scanning through the notes to see if there was any sign of Freddy.

Sure, the plex was on lockdown, network down but Gregory knew how the watches worked. In times like these they operated like walkie-talkies. If Freddy was in range, the watch would pick up. Unfortunately there was no response, no matter how many times he called.

He looked up, the two of them were at the top of the daycare now. He was looking around, careful of any bots. While this also reminded him of last year's events the he had figured out the bots to be far more aggressive than last time.

On his person, Gregory had a laser blaster, a flashlight and a barely functional Fazwatch. While communication was down it still worked for other functions. He also had his phone of which he could text you from.

Moon wasn't carrying anything specific though he was wearing his scarf. It glowed slightly in the dim plex. Moon wasn't prancing as he usually did, instead walking normally. A side effect of his unwillingness, perhaps. Gregory didn't mind it. It made Moon look more 'normal'.

The hallway was dimly lit, the usual colours and neon lights had changed to shades of red and black. After all, the plex was in 'lockdown' mode. Moon's eyes and Gregory's flashlight lit the way.

Gregory checked his watch again. He needed to go from the daycare to the main entrance then reach parts and services. He decided to go through Rockstar Row to get it. It was still possible Freddy was fine. He plotted the course in the watch.

Moon noticed Gregory's attention turned to the watch. He should be watching his surroundings, not that stupid watch. Moon thought, disgusted. A malicious idea creeped into his head, smirk growing wider.

In Moon's path was a cardboard cut-out of him. Pretending not to see it he kicked it aside. This startled Gregory who instinctively drew his blaster.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Moon taunted, smile palatable in his words. "Maybe you should stay back in the daycare." He said sarcastically.

"Huh, I thought you didn't want me there." Gregory sheathed the blaster. "You said I'd just dirty it." He shot back tauntingly.

"You little brat." Moon stopped and faced Gregory. He poked the boy in the chest. "You' lucky I have to babysit you otherwise I would put you right in time out!" Moon spat. Though his face had a smile, his narrowed eyes indicated differently.

"What's your problem? I haven't even done anything." Gregory asked. He was just as annoyed as Moon.

Moon went closer to Gregory as the two's eyes clashed. "Yet." Moon eye's narrowed. "You broke the rules, nearly burned down my daycare and then track dirt into it! You should be in time out for..at least a full day!" Moon moved back, folding his arms.

Gregory stepped forward. "Oh, will you get over it! That was a year ago. I didn't even cause the fire!"

"You still broke the rules!" Moon shouted.
