Reanimate The Future

Chapter 19: It's Just The Beginning

The next morning Cherry had woken up early, still not being able to sleep properly. Taking Bendy off her lap and wrapping him up in the blanket Henry gave to her. Leaving him on the armchair as she went to the kitchen. Still being dark outside Cherry lit a candle on the table. Sitting down and flicking through her notebook with a pen in her hand. Starting to draw up some plans for a new layout to the studio. Finding it peaceful to sit by candle light and work, like she used to do when she was younger. Not realising she had also disturbed someone else who seemed to be a light sleeper. Easily noticing their presence at the kitchen door, glancing up to look at who was standing there.

"Sorry Father... did I wake you?" Asked Cherry as she rested her forearms on her notebook, looking over at Joey with curiosity in her expression.

"I don't think I've actually slept in years so I wouldn't worry about that... but what are you doing working so early in the morning" Questioned Joey as he strolled over to the kitchen table, taking a seat beside his daughter as he glanced at her notebook.

"I'm thinking of restoring the studio... it was our family business... and I'm not willing to let it go so easily" Stated Cherry as she gave her father a determined smile, looking back at the notebook and starting to write some things down.

"I thinks it's a wonderful thing to do... but we'll do it as a family... with everyone" Said Joey as he wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulder, pulling her into in side as Cherry rested her head on his shoulder.

"I couldn't agree more" Replied Cherry as she wrapped her right arm around her Father's back, looking up at him with a light smile on her face.

"I'm proud of you Cherry" Whispered Joey as he wrapped both his arms around his daughter, resting his head on top of Cherry's as he closed his eyes to let a couple of tears fall.

"That's all I could ask for" Whispered Cherry as she managed to wrap her other arm around her Father, closing her eyes as she let a couple of tears fall.

The rest of the morning was spent writing notes and drawing up new plans for the studio. Using the aspects of the old studio to their advantage as the base work had been done. But making sure it was safe and secure this time around. With a few new bits added to them to make things flow nicely and more space for certain areas. Eventually after finishing the plans Ben and Henry had just woken up. Both of them going into the kitchen to find Joey and Cherry sitting at the table. Then getting the full explanation as to what they were planning on doing with the studio. Which the pair were fully on board for.

Seeing as it was the morning Joey offered to do breakfast for the lot of them. Cherry continued finishing off the plans for the studio. Henry wound up making phone calls to all that were trapped in the studio about the new plan to restore it. Which everyone seemed to be completely on bored with as well. Ben was keeping an eye on Bendy still sleeping on the armchair from last night, wrapped up cosy in the blanket.

"Okay everyone said they'd meet us at the studio to start work" Said Henry as he eventually got off the phone with the final person on the list, grabbing some of the breakfast Joey had made for them.

"Plans are completed so looks like we can get to work" Replied Cherry as she got up from the table, closing the notebook and heading to grab her things she needed.

Everyone already seemed to be getting ready to go on the living room. Even Bendy wanted to come along with them as well. Once everyone had gathered what they needed they headed for the car to make the short trip to the studio. Parking up in the car park, seeing everyone gathering things to get to work. Soon everyone was helping restore the once desolate building. Working on the old and new together like a family. With Cherry guiding and helping everyone out when they needed it or were unsure on certain things. Everyone for the first time in years not at each other throats and feeling happy...
