At the end of the day, once the loading back was locked and the rest of the staff had left for the day, Jeremiah worked his way over to the daycare. Sun and Moon were cleaning up still, the daycare was an absolute mess tonight. They'd done a painting activity towards the end of the day and paint got everywhere. He pulled open one of the doors and walked in, not seeing Sun and Moon. There was paper and paint and cushions all over the entry area.

"What the hell?" he muttered, hitting the illusion disk and turning it off.

"We cannot keep this up," he heard Suns voice whisper from somewhere in the daycare out of view.

"We need to," Moon's voice hissed back. Jeremiah walked around, not seeing them. They must've been in the play structure.

"There's so much to do," Sun said back.

"Sun? Moon?" Jeremiah called out. He heard a clank before Moon stuck his head out of one of the crescent shaped holes in the side of the play structure.

"Ah Jeremiah!" Moon said, climbing through the hole and landing in front of him. Sun came clambering out of a slide and waved at him.

"Hey!" he said, the plastic smile beaming at him. Jeremiah looked between them as Sun stood up and brushed himself off.

"Are you guys ok?" Jeremiah asked slowly.

"Just stressed. There's a lot to do and not a lot of time," Moon said, voice calm.

"Yeah fair. Need a hand?" Jeremiah offered.

"No, no we are fine. Why are you here?" Moon asked. Jeremiah looked Moon up and down before responding.

"All us ghosts were gonna play the new Just Dance game in the Fazcade. I was wondering if you'd join us. Roxy and Chica are. Freddy is teaching Gregory some things in his greenroom and Monty has gone AWOL again," Jeremiah sighed. Sun and Moon looked at each other for a moment before they seem to decide on something.

"I'll stay and finish cleaning up this mess, Sun can go with you," Moon said with a tip of his head.

"Alright. If you need help, just ping someone," Jeremiah nodded. He and Sun left the daycare as Moon began to pick up stray cushions.

As they walked, Sun didn't say anything to Jeremiah, so he broke the silence.

"You feeling ok Sunny?" he asks.

"Oh I'm fine," Sun responded. Jeremiah gave him a skeptical look.

"Are you sure? You're acting weird," Jeremiah pointed out.

"I think it's just stress, don't worry Jeremiah," Sun gave Jeremiah a small and awkward pat on the head. Jeremiah was very confused. Sun was definitely acting odd. The way he was standing, and moving, was just off. Like someone trying to impersonate Sun, rather than him just having a bad day. He'd ask Vanessa to run a diagnostic later, in case something was actually wrong. They get to the Fazcade and see Devon talking with Reed as they walk up the stairs to the upper level of the large arcade. The DJ had his head sticking out of one of the many holes for him to climb around in. Sun ran ahead, seeing Roxanne and Chica upstairs and wanting to catch up with them. Once Jeremiah was at the top, he was greeted by a smile from Delilah and a small wave from Hudson, who were standing off to the side of the game. It was a large screen, sort of like Dance Dance Revolution, but instead of stomping on the tiles, there's a camera which actually records your movements to make sure you're doing the dance. Julius was looking at it with a sense of confusion.

"Isn't there normally a fucking thing you hold which it follows?" he asked.

"Like on a Wii? I mean yeah but they've had ones with cameras for years now... If you have the right gaming console," Chica explained. Roxy was stretching, which she didn't technically need to do, but she felt like it. Sun was excitedly jumping from one foot to the other next to Roxy. Julius seemed skeptical and rolled his eyes. Sarah was standing next to Angel, all excited and shaking her arms happily.

"I used to love these types games!" she squeals.

"Quiet down. You're so annoying," Angel muttered. Sarah immediately put her arms to her side and closed her mouth. Her illusion disk was on, since she didn't like not having it one. Dirk stood off to one side, next to Sam who had managed to convince Toby to participate. Toby was just looking at the game from the opposite side than Julius. Jeremiah walked over to Sam and Dirk, standing next to them as the teens started the game, with Angel, Sarah, Roxy and Chica going first. Luckily the game was made to withhold the animatronics weights.
