Being outside in the brisk air was an odd change of pace for me. I don't really remember the last time I've been outside, since usually I was too paranoid to show my face out of the Pizzaplex's walls. But now I can clearly see what I've been missing out on. The stars were light shining white orbs in the black sky, and it almost took my breath away because of how pretty everything was.

The moon was casting its own light onto my metal, and it gleamed a bright silver. I stared at the moon, completely taken away by its beauty. But I shook my head. Now's not the time to get side-tracked. I needed to find Sun and Moon. And fast. I did wonder, however, where were they taken? I doubt the AI's told Earth anything, since they liked being b*tches every now and then.

I guess I can call Earth. Maybe she can get information from Moon's computer, or the AI's will finally let something slip that they're aware of. So I started calling Earth and I waited for her to pick up.

"Hello?" Earth's voice came through. I let out a deep breath that I apparently had been holding in.

"Hey. Did you ask the AI's anything else? I don't know where to search first. I'm outside of the Pizzaplex now."

"I tried to. They're ignoring me, while fighting over who's the better AI. So I left the Daycare and went back to my room. Is it possible to talk to Monty and that Lunar animatronic that's up in his space base? Maybe Monty knows something, or he can help out?"

"Alright. I guess I can check up on Monty and Lunar. Thanks Earth. I'll call back to tell you any information that I learned. Alright?"

"Sounds good!"

After saying our goodbyes, I hung up. I looked up at the black sky one more time before I teleported myself into Monty's space base. Once I was there, I saw Monty look at me and sigh. Lunar, like usual, was behind Monty in fear. I knew things wouldn't change so easily, but it didn't hurt to try, right? Maybe telling Monty and Lunar about Sun and Moon going missing and trying to help out will lead to a better outcome on my behalf...or not. Only one way to find out, right?

"What do you want? Can't you see that we're busy? Lunar needs more diagnostic checks, so make this quick," Monty snapped.

"This is an emergency," I said while walking over to them. Monty and Lunar took a solid five steps back as I got closer, silently warning me to not get any closer.

"What is it?" Monty demanded.

"Sun and Moon are gone. According to Earth, they're not anywhere in the Pizzaplex and the stupid AI's won't say sh*t. I know I'm not the most trustworthy person, but I--no, we--need your help. Both of you. If Lunar isn't good enough to help, I get that, but I need some assistance in finding them. I can't do this alone."

There was silence for a few moments while Monty was thinking things over in his head. He looked down at Lunar, who was still cowarding in fear. Then he looked back up at me and sighed.

"They're gone? Gone where?" Monty asked.

"I don't know! That's what I need help with. I--" My voice cracked as I was fidgeting with the bells attached to my wrist. Like Sun usually did when he was nervous...I guess I caught Sun's fidgeting, which makes sense since I used to be a part of his head...wait, why did I just realize that? "I can't do this alone, you know?" I finally finished my sentence, trying to calm down my mechanical heart beat.

"Lunar, what do you want to do?" Monty questioned, looking down at the blue celestial animatronic that was practically clinging to Monty's leg.

"I...I dunno..." Lunar muttered, his voice cracking in fear.

"Just call me when you make a decision. Here's my number," I handed Monty a sheet of paper with my number on it. "I'll talk to you two later, I guess."

Without hearing Monty or Lunar's reply, I teleported away from the base, and back in front of the Pizzaplex. I took in my surroundings for a moment before calling Earth again, to see if she had any other information and to inform her on Monty and Lunar.

"Hey," Earth greeted.

"Hey. Before I say what Monty and Lunar said, did you find any new information?"

"Sadly, no. I tried calling Sun and Moon, but they didn't pick up. I kept on pestering the AI's and I even yelled at them. They said nothing and were still fighting. So...we really need Monty and Lunar's help. What did they say?"

"They were unsure. I gave Monty my number, in case they come to a conclusion. They still don't know whether to trust me or not, which I kind of expected at this point. I'll just wait for a call while walking aimlessly around town, hoping to find some sort of clue."

"Sounds good. I wish you the best of luck, okay?"

"Thanks. And Earth? Um...I know I already apologized, but I just wanted to say sorry. For all of the insults I used to call you in the past. I know I can't take back what I said, but I do greatly apologize. I'm hoping you'll forgive me, or not. It's up to you."

Earth was quiet for a moment before finally speaking once more. "Thanks for the apology. I know you didn't mean it, and I do accept it! Now let's find our brothers!"

Our. She said our. That brought a small smile across my metallic face.

"Yes. Let's find Sun and Moon and bring them back home...where they're safe," I concluded. I hung up the phone and started walking down the sidewalk, looking around my surroundings for any hint of Sun and Moon near the Pizzaplex, yet I see none. No hints whatsoever. It almost made me kinda scared. But I can't lose hope yet. Maybe they're in one of Moon's old science bases?

While I was lost in my thoughts, I got a call from an unknown number, which I assumed was Monty.

"Hello?" I called out, once I answered the call.

"Hey. It's me, Monty. Lunar and I came to an agreement...and we're in. We'll help you find Sun and Moon."
