 The famous alligator woke up to his partially destroyed alarm clock with a sigh. The pizzeria was back in business, which meant he had to hurry and get himself ready to play the guitar once again. Remembering that it was for the kids helped him stay motivated as he fixed his red hair and wiped pizza grease off from both himself and his guitar. By the time he finished getting ready, there was about five minutes left until the big show, and when he checked his battery he panicked. It was only at 52%

 The show only took away about 5%, but a lot of children were scheduled to see him that day, making it risky for him to go out just yet. Kids of all ages were already watching him from outside his messy room, however, screaming his name in excitement. He had to find a way to go through the crowd fast without draining too much of his battery. 

With a deep breath, he grabbed his guitar and headed out to greet all of the children and their greasy hands. Some security officers tried to help, but there was just too many of them. By the time he was finished passing them all as he waved, there was only 3 more minutes until the show, and his battery had increased by 1%.

 Monty ran as fast as he could as the staff managed to hold the children back. He had to push Mapbots and plants out of his way to make it in time, but it was worth it. He couldn't be disappointing any of the guests right after their wondrous holiday, could he? As much as he hated the holiday, he still respected how everyone else celebrated. Especially if it helped him get upgrades. He stepped onto the stage with the rest of the crew, and he began to grow nervous when he realized how silent they were. They weren't talking as much as they usually did. They just kept their distance as they stared at him. It almost felt like one of those awkward elevator scenes he always laughed at on television. As soon as the stage rose, they managed to successfully pretend like their normal selves, making everyone cheer as they suddenly appeared out of nowhere to play their usual songs. Monty tried as well, but couldn't with the constant reminder of their stares sticking onto him. It got so bad that he started playing the wrong notes. Luckily for him, none of the audience noticed, and cheered the same way they always did at the end. 

 After the show ended and the stage lowered, Freddy grabbed hold of the gators shoulder, "Where were you yesterday?" The bear asked.

 "I slept in late, and my hair was very messy." Monty lied, "I didn't want you guys to see me on my bad hair day."

 "You're lying!" Roxanne exclaimed, "I barged in there yesterday and you weren't there!" 

 "Yeah because I went into the arcade!" He replied, "The games make great mirrors."

 "Calm down Roxy," Freddy told the growling Wolf, "It was just for a day, he's back now!" 

 "Why would you barge into my room anyway?" Montgomery asked, "Did you miss me?"

 "No, it was because you stole some of my eyeshadow for one of the shows, remember?"

 He honestly forgot about that. He was going to return it on Christmas Eve, but got distracted with thinking on what he was going to do for this "joyous holiday."

 Monty apologized as the elevator-like stage came to a stop, "Ill return it tonight when the day is over, I promise!" 

 Chica helped hold Roxanne back as the famous group of animatronics separated to do their daily duties, and with that the second part of his challenge has begun. He had to maintain as much of his remaining 46% of battery as possible while at the same time trying not to sound tired or lame to the children. He successfully passed the challenge, finishing the long list of kids he had to meet before getting notified about his now extremely low battery. The pizzeria was now closing, making it slightly easier for him to find a charging station. With the help of one of the Mapbots he knocked over earlier, he found out that the nearest Charging station was by the daycare. Perfect.
