We went down the corridor and found a longer, winding, hallway. From there, we were able to find the button that hopefully opened the wall-door, but before we could go through, we went through a door that brought us to another one of those wall-doors. Lucky pressed the button, and the door opened.

The room had several things in it, including a whimpering endoskeleton and a gift box. Lucky wound the box, and pulled out a stuffed demon. "Who would buy that? It's a black and white plush demon! It even has claws and razor sharp teeth, and why are the claws black and white?"

Lucky glared at me. "Her name is either The Puppet or The Marionette, depending on who you ask, and she isn't a demon!" Why is she acting like she knows whatever animatronic that demon plush is based off of?

Still, I muttered a, "Sorry," and we continued through the maze like warehouse. It was... concerningly easy to get to the security office. "It's the Security Office. Hm. Should be one of those badge head things in here ." I explained, but when we got to the desk, the badge head was open. "What? The badge is missing!"

"Maybe we can find some other way into Parts and Service." Lucky suggested, awkwardly patting my arm. Gee, guess my disappointment is obvious. We left the warehouse without the badge, and I was the first in the vent back to Parts and Services.

Apparently I was crawling slowly, because Lucky punched my shoe. "Okay, okay! I'm hurrying up!" Lucky patted my shoe and we continued crawling.

"Sorry." Lucky apologized once the three of us left the vent. "There was a Music Man in the vent."

I shrugged. "It's okay. I was lagging anyway." I elbowed her side.She giggled. "I'm glad you're not mad." Then she hugged me. The hug was brief, but I've never had a hug before- at least, not one that I remember, so it was nice. "Come on!" She began running to the exit.

"I'll get there first!" I shouted, following her. "Pause! I need to recharge my flashlight!" I shouted as we entered the empty concrete room, and I did as I said, Lucky running next to me. I wonder if I could... NO! NOT RISKING IT! NOT LOSING MY FRIENDS! NOPE!

We continued our race through the garage door, and through the hallway, to the Parts and Services door. "We tied!" She exclaimed. Lucky is... a ball of energy. Cheery energy, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Wendy, who didn't join our race, caught up to us. "Great, now we can-" I started, only... I can't believe it, "The locks melted."

"This seems really familiar..." Lucky muttered, and I ran through the Parts and Services door, Lucky following. F*** precautions! I need to find Freddy!

"I found them earlier and locked them in Lost and Found." Officer Whatever-The-Rabbit-B****'s name is explained to Freddy.

"That's great! They can be returned to their parents!" Freddy... you can't return someone to their parents if they don't have any.

"They can't. Turns out, there's no record of the kid or the teenager that they're with, and the girl, Lucky, only has a guest file from the pass that got her in here, and that was paid for by another kid who is probably in the Pizzaplex, Rory."

"How unfortunate. If you reattach my head, I will go look for them now." Yes! Hopefully Freddy's plan works.

"The boy's name is Gregory. Do you want to know how I know that? His Fazwatch kept repeating it. In your voice..." NO! SHE'S GOING TO HURT FREDDY! "'Gregory? Are you there? Gregory?'" UGH! OF COURSE SHE CAN LISTEN IN TO THE FAZWATCH WHY F***ING NOT?!

"Vanessa, all the Fazwatches sound like me at first. It is the default voice option, although the voice can be changed." Please don't get hurt, Freddy!

"If you're part of this, you're scrap." Lucky gasped and I clenched my fists. "Monty will run the show until Parts and Service can slap your casing on a new Endo. Hang out there for a while. I've gotta find those kids."

"Vanessa, do not leave me like this!" Freddy begged, he sounds in pain. That filled me with rage, and if it wasn't for Lucky dragging me out of the in-between hallway/corridor, to where Wendy was, where we came from, I might've began sparking.

"Why would you two do that?!" Wendy scolded. Lucky looks close to tears. "Do you have any idea what could've happened to you?!"

"We can go in Parts and Service, you're welcome. Come on. We're saving Freddy." I bit back, and we entered Parts and Service.

There was someone with a welding helmet holding a MOTHERF***ING BLOWTORCH THAT WAS ON! THAT WELDING HELMENT PERSON IS GOING TO F***ING MURDER US AND CREMATE THE BODIES! Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly since she is an enigma, Lucky is the only one who is calm, in fact, she seems excited.

As soon as the probably murderer turned off their blowtorch, Lucky shouted something excitedly and RAN UP TO THEM AND HUGGED THEM! SHE'S GOING TO GET KILLED! I immediately grabbed her arm, trying to get her away from the probably murderer. I'm not letting my friend get murdered, d*** it! "Don't touch her, a**hat!" The probably murderer shouted at me, shooting a F***ING FIREBALL AT ME!

Without thinking, I retaliated with my own blast of electricity "YOU'RE THE PROBABLY MURDERER THAT MY FRIEND HUGGED"

That seemed to make Probably Murderous Welder angrier than before. "Murderer!? MURDERER!? ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS DIPS***!?" They shouted, sending another fireball my way.

"WE'VE ALREADY NEARLY BEEN KILLED LIKE 20 TIMES ALREADY! SO FORGIVE ME FOR THINKING THAT THIS STRANGER IS GOING TO TRY TO KILL US LIKE EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT FREDDY AND WENDY!" That just made them angrier.

"JUST FOR THAT I WON'T FIX YOUR STUPID BEAR!" They shouted.

Hold on. "Did... she just say fix?" Wendy asked as Lucky ran after the Welding Lady.

"She did." I muttered.

" Rory! Wait! Gregory didn't know! And in his defense, we nearly died A LOT tonight! We were nearly killed by people like the Bunny Lady! And animatronics!" I explained, sitting next to her on the ramp leading to the gear door.

"You think I haven't!? Why the f*** do you think I'm down here?!" Rory snapped loudly. She didn't shout, but she was louder than normal.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled, hugging her. "Gregory shouldn't have called you a probably murderer. Will you come back if I get him to say sorry?" I don't want her to get hurt. If we stick together, we can make sure none of us gets hurt.

"I'll consider it." She replied after a moment.

"Yay! Let me get him to say sorry!" I promised, running back in Parts and Service. "Rory wants you to say sorry. " I told Gregory.

"You probably should." Wendy told him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Your friends are right, Superstar, you should apologize."

Gregory Pov

"Fine." I muttered, letting Lucky drag me to where Rory was. She was standing at the bottom of a ramp arms crossed, "I-" I started, "I'm sorry." I mumbled. Seemingly satisfied, she went back to Parts and Service, bumping my shoulder with hers as she walked. "So, I think Rory likes you." Lucky exclaimed, breaking the silence, before she dragged me back into Parts and Service. If it were anyone else, I would probably zap them, but Lucky is... ADHD personified, even if I don't know if she has it.

"You're joking, right?" She has to be, Rory obviously hates me.

Lucky shook her head. "It just... takes time for Rory to warm up to people. Remind me to tell you how we met, later."

"Okay." I sighed, and Lucky sat next to Rory, who was working on Freddy.

"So... you throw lightning and she throws fire?" Wendy asked, directed at me, but open for Rory to answer as well.

S***! I did use my powers! Well, deny, deny, deny! "No, I don't have electricity powers, I don't have powers, period." S***, I'm sparking, aren't I?

"And I'm guessing you manipulate shadows, that's how you keep disappearing, right Lucky?" Lucky... has powers too? I mean, I had a hunch, but..."Yup! I can also sense souls and see ghosts!" She chirped excitedly.

Welp, this is my life I guess.
