  OH DO I HAVE A STORY FOR YALL. Ok so I had to go to a dermatology (probs didnt spell that right) appointment and when they were talking about some interesting stuff (peeling off a layer of skin like an onion while im wide awake) that resulted in me passing out and falling face first onto a tile floor from a couple feet up. I then got my first ambulance ride and going to the hospital. I ended up breaking one tooth in half and busting my lip but that was all. I also got to traumatize the dermatologist which was fun. Anyways on another note I went to a pier yesterday which was interesting. Also I also started playing Deemo II recently and oh my gosh did I find my favorite song. Showtime is amazing and you can't change my mind.

This is before Spuds because they wrote theirs before mine and just look at their ending,

   A/N: Oh my gosh, guess what??? I can actually get onto this account now! Starlight's been doing  everything management-wise for the past few chapters (thaaank yooou!), so doing A/Ns has been really weird for me. Don't get me wrong, I love what they've been doing, so we'll still have Starlight A/Ns in addition to mine. :) One more chapter + an epilogue after this. Maybe I'll do another fancy goodbye A/N to wrap up the series, I'm still deciding. But without further ado, let's get to the chapter! :D


3 weeks later...

     The air was so thin... I remembered it being a bit more breathable the last time I'd been down there. Thank goodness I'd never have reason to be underneath the Pizzaplex again.

     I stumbled, and immediately Freddy was at my side.

     "Are you sure about this, Superstar? You should be resting right now..."

     "I'm sure," I responded. "And I want to help. Ballora's been missing for weeks now. We can't just let that go."

     "What about Gregory?" Monty threw out.

     I turned to look at him, and answered, "I don't know where he is."

     I wasn't lying. Gregory could've been living behind a 7-11, or staying with an old school friend. He didn't come home after he set Vanessa free, which Vanessa had been murmuring about in her sleep while we were recovering, but I would always leave something – usually a sandwich or a can of Fizzyfaz – outside of my apartment for him in the evenings. I would always find it was gone in the mornings, and something Pizzaplex related had taken its place. The first thing I found on my doorstep was a Fazwatch. Then some messily-folded t-shirts, a broken Roxy-themed walkie talkie, and a security badge. One day I even found a bag of Starbursts and a pack of mechanical pencils. I made sure I left him extra food that evening.

     Everyone was upset about Gregory's disappearance, especially Freddy, but knowing that he was safe was enough for me. I just hoped that one day he would decide to come back. After properly mourning for my dog, Gregory's friend, and the counselors, I was almost ready to let him have a second chance. If he'd take it.

     I almost tripped, and Freddy had me sit down. "Y/N, I really think you should go back up. You might hurt yourself."

     I gripped my crutches tighter and jokingly whacked him with one. "I want to be here. I'm strong, aren't I?"

     I'd been using a wheelchair to get around since I woke up. I was actually extremely lucky that I'd made it to the hospital alive. Vanessa, too. She was still in the process of healing from her wound, but I'd managed to start moving... kind of. When I'd been stabbed, the tip of Afton's knife had managed to reach my spine. As a result of my "mild SCI", I hadn't been able to walk. I still couldn't. Trying to get around on crutches was actually ridiculous, but it seemed less ridiculous than trying to go through the tunnels beneath the Pizzaplex in a wheelchair. Freddy certainly had a point, though. If I didn't rest, I'd have a much harder time recovering. I had only convinced Freddy to let me come because the only thing I'd been doing was resting, and after finding Ballora I'd rest some more.
