Freddy lingered before the door. "Confident and Charismatic. What I always do! Yeah, perfect." she thought proudly to herself before fixing her
top hat and strutting confidently into the room. Mike looked up from the tablet and gave a warm smile once he saw who the approach was "Hey Freddy."
She tried to reciprocate the smile with one of her own but failed, ending as a flustered mess, her plan quickly dwindling away. Mike chuckled a
little at her.
"Are you ok?" he said before turning his attention back to the tablet, giving Freddy a moment of opportunity to try to desperately compose herself.
She decided to try to play it cool, leaning up against the desk and giving the smoothest response she could think of.
"Hey M-Mike... what's up?" mentally punching herself in the face for that moronic response she again attempted to give her signature smile to atone,
actually managing it for a split second. Again Mike giggled at her humorous display.
"What, no sarcastic response or witty joke?" Mike replied with a comedic tone "is there something wrong Freddy?". The silence
that followed quickly answered his question.
"Can I ask you a question?" she replied, breaking the silence. Mike glanced up at her, based off of her nervous facial expression, completely uncommon
for Freddy, this was serious to her.
"Ask away" he said calmly, looking back down to his tablet to try and ease the tension.
"Y-You've known about this place for a long time, right?" Freddy started skittishly. "What with you coming here since you were a kid."
"Yeah" Mike responded, confused.
Freddy continued "So-so you've known all of us for just as long right?"
"Correct" Mike agreed.
"And you love spending time with all of us right?" she continued.
Eyes still idly on the tablet Mike smiled. "Well yeah, definitely. You guys have never given me a reason to not enjoy all the time I have spent
here with all of you."
"Do you love all of us?"
Freddy's question caught Mike completely off guard. He looked up from his tablet to only just realize the difference in proximity Freddy had moved from
her spot by the desk to mere inches from his face. Her bright blue eyes staring deeply into his hazel ones. He could feel her anticipation for his answer.
"You guys... are the best friends I have ever had. I would do anything for you all. So yes of course I love you all." Mike spoke, now flustered.
"M-more specifically," Freddy continued, leaning in even more so that Mike could feel her artificial breath on his lips. "Do you love m-"
"I MADE COOKIES!" Chica sang with the elegance of a bull in a china shop as she bounced into the room. Effectively increasing the distance between
Mike and Freddy so quickly you would think Moses had split them.
"You like chocolate chip right Mikey?" Chica said, shooting a glare at Freddy so quick that Mike failed to notice as he readjusted himself in his chair.
Although Freddy sure noticed.
