-They had been searching for a while for Puppet. There was no sign of him until they found an empty chest. Freddy discovered it, of course. They kept following that path to find more empty chests that led to even more empty chests! Even though their progress was growing, he could feel as if Chica, Taylor Swift, and even Bonnie were calling out for his help. He held it back, but it got to him eventually. He tried his best to hide it, but he was really bad at hiding his emotions.
Bonbon: What's with the long face?
-Freddy looked over to see Bonbon right next to him. Funtime Foxy was walking in front of them.
Freddy: I'm just... worried about getting back. That's all.
-Freddy faked a smile, but it was a really bad one. Bonbon could see right through it.
Bonbon: Is it about your pizzeria?
-Freddy thought for a second. Bonbon had no right to know about Freddy's business.
Freddy: It's personal.
-And that ended the conversation. He should try "it's personal"ing more often. It's a great tactic. They kept walking till they reached an oddly-open hallway. It looked like one off the walls was just... missing. It looked out of place and bugged Freddy.
Freddy: Why does this hall even exist? I mean, honestly, this was a constructional mistake!
-Bonbon gave Freddy a "it's not the time" look. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Funtime Foxy tripped. He tripped hard, too. He landed snout-first into the hard brick. Freddy could picture a Roblox death sound in his mind.
Funtime: Foxy: Agh! Owww!
Bonbon: You Okay, Foxy?
Funtime Foxy: What do you think?
-Funtime Foxy got up. From Freddy's view, Funtime Foxy had a giant scrape mark on his bottom left face quadrant thingamajig. Along with that, it was hanging down and swinging like a tree branch on a windy day.
Bonbon: That doesn't look good.
Funtime Foxy: But I didn't trip on anything!
Freddy: Maybe you walked too fast. Let's just keep going.
-Freddy marched forward, but he tripped. Not as hard as Foxy, but he tripped. He didn't feel anything under his feet though. His head landed with a crash.
Freddy: Ack!
-Freddy quickly got up.
Freddy: What...?
Funtime Foxy: Maybe you walked to fast?
-Funtime Foxy said that sarcastically as he rose an eyebrow. Freddy leered at Funtime Foxy.
Bonbon: We can fix everything later. Let's continue! We're traveling, we're traveling—
-Weirdly, Bonbon tripped too! On thin air! There was nothing he could've possibly tripped on.
Bonbon: Okay. This is a problem.
-Bonbon picked himself up from the floor and dusted himself off.
Bonbon: But What could be causing it?
-They all said "hmmmm" in sync like you seen in cartoons. Funtime Foxy brightened with what was hopefully an idea.
Funtime Foxy: We used up A LOT of gravity!
-Bonbon and Freddy stared at him. How can you use up gravity? That was improbable.
Bonbon: What?
Funtime Foxy: We used up a lot of gravity on the way here! We jumped a lot, especially. Jumping abuses gravity and that's why we keep tripping!
-There were so many things wrong with that. 1: It broke the laws of physics. 2: Gravity doesn't work that way. 3: Gravity can't be abused. 4: Tripping isn't caused by gravity. There was clearly some other explanation for this.
Freddy: Not buyin' it. There's no way gravity could cause something like that.
-Freddy didn't notice it until he glanced at Bonbon and Funtime Foxy. They were staring at him with wide eyes and he realized why: he was floating an inch off the ground. Freddy waved his arms in the air, then fell on his torso.
Freddy: Ooookay. Maybe it is gravity and we're running out of it.
-Freddy felt stupid for saying that. He felt like Bonnie when he asked him questions like "is South America in America?" "Why is Washington D. C. on the north side of America when Washington is on the right?" "How long is a piece of string?" "What's the point of stop signs?"
Bonbon: It's probably air density? Is that a thing?
Funtime Foxy: Nope. It's gravity.
-For some odd reason, they stopped talking and kept walking. They reached the end of the weird hall which led above a massive body of lava, also the outside of the castle.
Freddy: Dead end.
Funtime Foxy: Mhm. Captain Obvious.
Bonbon: Actually, we can still get out of here this way, but we need to find Puppet first.
-Freddy poked his head out over the edge. Then his chest. This his whole torso. He gazed around to see an endless ocean of magma. Then he felt a push on his back. And without realizing it, he was shoved forwards. Freddy could barely process it. He saw the lava mass far away, then closer, then closer, then closer. He closed his eyes and accepted his fate when, suddenly, the falling gusts stopped. He opened an eye to see he was suspended. In the air. By nothing. He looked around, then up. He saw Funtime Foxy and Bonbon looking down at him with surprise.
Bonbon: What were you thinking, Foxy?!
Funtime Foxy: Sorryyyy... I couldn't resist.
-He nervously twiddled his thumbs.
Bonbon: But... How?! Freddy, are you good?!
Freddy: Yeah...
-Freddy choked out a laugh.
Freddy: I'm fine...
-Whatever this stupid gravity thing was, it had saved him. Possibly his life.
Bonbon: I'll get you up here, okay?!
Freddy: Yeah... Okay...
-He was blasted upwards. He didn't know how, he just was. He was facing down when the picture of the lava rapidly stretched away from him. This time, the gusts attacked his back. It felt as if he was being slapped all over his back. He felt his back hit a rubbery substance, (probably the pinkish ground), and he tumbled completely backwards. Then, like he had when he was hit with a melon, he blacked out.
