Baby's eyes looked into her reflection, starring herself right in her own eyes. She could do this.

"Okay, Elizabeth is coming over for the night, DON'T be weird!" She said, starring herself down. She eventually sighed and put her head against the mirror. It was impossible for her to not be weird around Elizabeth. Every time she'd even think about her or mention her she would get fidgety, followed by butterflies fluttering around in her stomach like she had a nest of them in her torsos compartment.


"Why is it so hard to just be normal?" She asked herself. Her head tipped up, acknowledging the knocking at the elevator doors. Baby went over and opened the doors. Seeing a rather aggravated Elizabeth who was glaring at her phone.

"Oh, Liz!" She said, her sour expression turning up to be brighter. Her phone was put into her pocket. Baby raised a brow in suspicion. Did she really want to be here?

"Is everything alright, Elizabeth?" She asked, worried she already had done something wrong. Elizabeth blue a raspberry. 

"Dad being rather annoying and toxic." She grumbled, loud enough for Baby to hear.

"What happened?" She asked, leading Elizabeth to her room.

"Well, Dad started complaining I was being out too much, then he wants to say I'm lazy for staying in constantly. It's so confusing! I'm trying to keep it under the radar I'm seeing you, I want to keep you safe so I told him I'm helping around in the pizzeria!"

Baby's heart and body froze on the spot at the mention of him and the thought of him coming back for her. It was like a living nightmare. She let out a sigh, trying to relax her own body from acting up. 

"I don't think he remembers this place below the pizzaria. He shouldn't. Freddy said that if anything goes wrong to just call him and they can lock up to keep everyone safe." Elizabeth explained, going through her phone.

Baby rolled her eyes, remembering their fight. She got her jacket and put it up in the closet, cleaning up a bit as Elizabeth talked to her.

"Despite everything, I'm still going through with the plan. I found this place out of state that my uncle is letting us take, I can work with him at his mechanic job and get paid a lot so we can manage everything we need. You won't have to go out and worry about people seeing you and we wont have to worry about running out of food or anything." Elizabeth said, looking at pictures of the house she mentioned on her phone.

Baby smiled, liking the sound of being with just Elizabeth. She then remembered what Freddy said and frowned at it.

"How are we going to do this? Freddy is on my case, William is getting suspicious and I'm not sure people would see me as a human." Baby said, standing up and grabbing Relyna. She held the small plush close to herself.

"We can always say you have a skin condition or were in some sort of freak accident! You look very human...aside from your height. Most humans aren't as tall as you yes but that doesn't mean it isn't possible! There are tons of people in the past who are as tall as you or taller!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

Baby's eyes widened a bit in disbelief. People have been taller than her?

Suddenly, the sound of music came from Elizabeth's phone. She looked at the caller ID on her phone and groaned.

"It's Dad. I'll be right back." She grimaced, excusing herself and stepping out of the room. Baby continued to pick up her clothes that looked like they spilled from her closet like a wave from an over flooded bathroom.

She sat Relyna aside and could hear Elizabeth beginning to raise her voice in the other room. Baby winced a bit every time she would yell. She sat down on the floor after closing the sliding door to her closet, covering her ears. She didn't want to know what was going on if this is what was happening because of it.

Soon the yelling stopped. Baby opened her eyes and uncovered her ears. She listened and heard Elizabeth going farther from the room. Baby's panic hit the roof and caused her to spring into action, causing her to slide and nearly hit the wall. She swung the door open and tried to follow Elizabeth's footsteps. She scrambled to elevator, watching it go up. Her eyes watched as the lights went up and out of sight. Tears swelled in her eyes as she lost her adrenaline, being replaced with dread and sadness. Her legs buckled and caused her to fall to her knees, like she had just lost everything. Baby's brow furrowed out from a sad expression to an angry one. She screamed into the air like she was screaming to the heavens. Angrily protesting to give back the one she loved the most in this whole cruel world.

She held her arms and looked down. The screeching of metal started again as the elevator came back down. She looked up, her tears starting to cease. The doors opened and Elizabeth was there, texting on her phone with an angry look on her face and a plastic bag filled with something on in her arms. Baby ran and hugged her, nearly knocking her over.

Elizabeth realized what she did sent Baby into a breakdown and hugged back, listening to her babble on about how she thought she had lost her.

"It's alright, I just went to get something." She pulled away to show the bag in her arms. She brought the sniveling mechanical girl back to her bedroom. Baby whipped away the wet marks on her face. Elizabeth opened the bag and dumped its contents onto the bed. She smiled and looked at Baby.

Baby was confused and sifted through it. There was an employees outfit, some makeup in its rightful makeup bag, and a name tag with the name "Lizzie" written on it in fine almost calligraphic letters. Baby blinked and looked at Elizabeth in surprise. She smiled back to her.

"We're leaving tonight. My uncle is gonna meet us up at the junk yard." Baby smiled and hugged her, starting to cry happy tears. Elizabeth hugged her back and giggled.

"Okay, alright, enough with the water works." Elizabeth joked, gently pulling her away.

"First, lets get that hair taken care of. My godmother was an amazing hair expert, she taught me how to dye and dress these pretty locks up!" Elizabeth exclaimed, gesturing to her lightly curly orange hair. 

Elizabeth grabbed Baby's hand and took her to the bathroom. She sat her down on the toilet and pulled out a hair dye kit as well as a curling iron from her backpack she had taken with her.

Baby blinked and felt her soft hair. She pulled her pigtails out and fluffed it up a bit. Elizabeth pulled out a bottle from the dye kit. Baby raised a brow.

"Since you're a robot I got something temporary, I thought maybe you'd like to keep your hair color the way it was. Since Halloween's coming up I bought some of the good branded ones" She said, popping the cap off. She shook the can as if it were spray paint. Baby got an old towel that belonged to what she assumed to be Funtime Freddy's. She wrapped it around herself, over her shoulders and around her neck, to protect her clothing.

Elizabeth gently sprayed it on her scalp. Baby jumped a bit, as it had been cold. Elizabeth pulled out portions of Baby's hair and sprayed it down, shifting the color. Baby had her eyes closed, she didn't know if William gave her a real pair of eyes or not but she wasn't going to sit there and find out. Elizabeth's tongue stuck out as she concentrated on the areas, making sure she didn't miss any places. 

Baby opened her eyes as Elizabeth announced she was done. She stood and put the now lightly stained towel over the side of the tub. She stood up and looked into the mirror. Her hair was now a deep cherry red, unlike her usual bright pumpkin color. Much like her original color, it complemented her complexion and rosy cheeks

Elizabeth got the makeup bag from the bed and came back to her. Baby admired her red hair and fluffed it up gently. Elizabeth gently pulled her from her self admiration and back to her seat on the toilet. She pulled up a step stool and sat down. Opening the bag, she got some make up out. Baby remembered that one night, screaming at herself and smearing lipstick on herself. She shivered in cringe, remembering how stupid it was now. Elizabeth smiled and started putting a layer of foundation on her face, it was cold and wet. She pat it all down with a makeup sponge. Baby closed her eyes as Elizabeth blending everything, the bronzer and highlights all making her face seem natural. She opened her eyes, Elizabeth pulled something out of her backpack. She handed Baby a pear of gloves and a scarf. It was getting cold outside so it would make sense to wear it. Elizabeth smile at her.

"Now to get packed."
