Freddy opened his stomach hatch. "Gregory climb in. I don't know if Officer Vanessa is wandering around the atrium so you'd better be safe in my stomach hatch." said the bear to the boy. Gregory nodded and then climbed into Freddy's stomach hatch.

We left Rockstar Row and made our way into the atrium. Roxy leaned weakly on my shoulder and whimpered. I'd prefer if we could get to the Parts and Service area without encountering Officer Vanessa. She would probably just yell at us and send us back to our rooms and not even ask us what happened to Roxy. The security guard had changed quite a bit in a strange way. I would like to know why Officer Vanessa is acting so strange.

When we made it into the atrium, Roxy closed her left eye, panting. "I...I need a break." said the female wolf in a weak voice and lean closer to my shoulder. We hid behind a big flowerpot so Roxy could rest a bit.

I pricked up my ears but couldn't hear any footsteps and exhaled relieved. "Luckily Officer Vanessa isn't here." said I then to Freddy.

The bear nodded. "I'm glad the atrium isn't being patrolled by those pesky security bots right now." he said to me and then looked at the female wolf. She was still leaning close to my shoulder and had her left eye closed. "Has Roxy rested enough?" he then asked.

Roxy opened her left eye and then nodded.

Me and Freddy took a look around then we stepped out from behind the big flowerpot and made our way to the big stage. There were huge holograms of me, Roxy, Chica, Freddy and Bonnie with our instruments right now on that stage. I really like these holograms.

I led Roxy up the steps of the stage. "Soon we'll be at Parts and Service." said I in a soft voice to the female wolf.

Roxy smiled slightly.

As we stood on the stage platform, Freddy opened his stomach hatch and let Gregory climb out. "Press the button." said the bear to the boy.

Gregory pressed the button, it started flashing green and the platform we were standing on moved down, taking us into the utility tunnels.

Freddy twitched both ears. His gaze was sympathetic looked to Roxy. Apparently, it made the bear quite sad when his friends were feeling sad.

I carefully pulled the female wolf closer in my arms and gently wrapped my dog tail around her.

"Now we have to be careful not to encounter any endoskeletons. The utility tunnels are swarming with these creepy skeletons." said Gregory to us.

Freddy nodded.

"We know this." said I to the boy and then gently stroked through the female wolf's silver hair.

The platform stopped. We went through a red door and then down a long hallway. Then we entered the Parts and Service area. In the middle of the area was the large protective dome where the broken animatronics are repaired. To the right was a small table with a console on it. Everywhere there were boxes with lots of spare parts and individual parts that are needed for the repairs.

"Okay Roxy sit in the dome on the chair." said I to the female wolf and gently pressed my nose against her left cheek.

"Will...will I really get my beauty back?" asked Roxy in a desperate voice. Her left eye glittered sadly.

"Gregory will try everything to fix you. Now sit in the chair." said I lovingly to the female wolf. I could see a bit of fear in Roxy's left eye. She hesitated then entered the dome and sat on the chair.
