I soon made it all the way back to the back of that area, when I finally noticed that Axy was there leaning against the wall just staring at me with a wide grin on their face, I smiled back. "Well, in my defense.. You knew exactly where they were, if I had known where I would've won the race and you wouldn't have slipped past me so sneakily!!" I laughed and ran up to them giving them a quick and small hug. I noticed that the S.T.A.F.F bots had stopped searching and smiled, even more, knowing we had finished this bit of the day. It was almost 6 am now and Gregory was just THAT close to going back to see his family!

I jumped with joy for a little tiny bit before I took a small breath before and peered into the window with a smile, I could not hear what was going on inside but I saw that apparently I had just scared the crap out of Gregory and he was laughing so hard just rolling around grabbing his stomach. Freddy sighed and opened the door with a small chuckle as he patted Gregory's back as he got out his laughter. "I know~... I am just that funny and maybe a little scary at that!~.." I said in a bragging manner almost as I looked down at the small boy before I bent down to pat his head a little. I stood back up and was immediately taken into a hug by Sun. "AUGH!! SUN CAREFUL-.." I felt the air get squeezed out of me even though I do not have lungs of course. "Aww, but I missed you while you went out to save the world!" He said with a whinny voice as I just laughed it off. I told Sunny that what he said was just a big exaggeration, although he really did disagree with that, I just left him be with the word that there is way more out in the world than the PizzaPlex. He just whined a bit more before he nodded, knowing that I was right. Axy turned to the boy as I and sun stopped hugging and I went to talk to Moon. As we talked, so did Axy and Gregory, I couldn't really hear them until something rang inside of my head until I finally understood what it said, and who said it.

"What home? I have no home to go back to, no one to care for me anyway, I was lead into here I am sure of it, but I do not know what by.."
I turned to look at Gregory after I sat still for a while just paused and stared into his eyes with a worried look. He looked back at me with a bit of a guilty face, before he decided to speak up again after he thought about what he was going to say for a long time, at this point almost everyone was looking at him with a worried face. "Well, if you guys really do want me to leave anyway, I do not really mind that much...I'd just have to go to that same alley that I always used to go to before I came into here..." He said before starting to trail off. "Nonononononono.. Don't go back there!! There are way better places for you to go, trust me! I-I-I-I...I'm sure of it!" Sun said, he looked a little sad and felt a bit of pity for the small boy. "I have an IDEA!!.. Gregory...He can stay at the PizzaPlex with us!... I know it sounds crazy, but I know without that big of a threat happening again, or at least one that seems like it has been happening ever since this place was built...But this place could just be the safest place on earth! I swear to my life!!" I said with a bit of a nervous smile painted on my face. Gregory looked a bit shocked as he studied my face when I told everyone about my crazy idea. It looked like he was thinking for a while before Freddy spoke up, "I will admit...it does not seem like a bad idea at all!.. But we can't just keep the kid here in all places! Who knows what may show up next, uninvited.." He said before his ears drooped down against his head a little as he sounded a bit sad from admitting so. "Who cares about that matter, there are so many of us and there may only be a few of whatever may show up, we are big and strong ROBOTS AFTER ALL!!" Sun exclaimed toward Freddy with one of the most joyfully-proud face that I have ever seen painted onto his small nervous character.

I sighed before deciding to speak up after a while of listening to them all speak and talking turns over and over again to share their ideas about the subject. "Yeah, you may be right about that, but you do have to remember.. That we ARE robots that are capable of hurting one another, and even the human beings that live all around us.. We are unpredictable" I said in a bit of a serious tone, as I looked at sun with a worried expression, knowing that he also knows what we may be referring to. "Knowing that our designs were inspired by Afton's work, we may have things like that too, that may not even know about!" I brightened up my voice more to make sure that I do not put the people around me in a terrible mood. Gregory smiled, seeming like he had heard the stories about the old locations before, time and time again. "Yeah..I know what you guys are capable of, trust me. I have seen it all on tapes and stuff... I am.. Not going to tell you how, but I have and you have to believe me!" He said with a bit of a wary look like he thought that we would not believe him in the slightest bit.
