Welcome, readers, to the first part of the Prologue! Yes, this is still a Prologue of the story. Anyways, so much for that, I hope you enjoy!

2023.

This was the year when technology was increasing improvement rapidly. Computers are now more improved and are now used in all the schools in the world as a substitute for the notebooks and ballpens that were used a long time ago. Robots have been made for specific uses, but there were only a few that were made, though... we don't want the world to end just because of robots, do we?

Aside from robots, child-friendly animatronics were made, too. They were made for amusement parks, carnivals, restaurants...

Ah, yes, restaurants.

A lot of child-friendly recreations were built all across America, and they were successful throughout the years. Because of developed technology, the fun-fairs' animatronics and robots appear to be most harmless.

Most of these restaurants pay tribute to the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza franchise that had been struck with light and mystery years ago. People call that franchise a specialty, while some call it a cursed story and deserved to be rotten in the depths of the early years.

An auction about these restaurants have been set up to see if people would buy the animatronics and try to rebuild them for their own. The company didn't expect that someone would show up and buy all of the animatronics, considering the fact that the one who brought the animatronics was half scarred to death because of these haunted toys.

Bart Banks and his wife Aaliyah Martebone-Banks.

The two of them were the so-called power couple in their high school years. Being called the real-life "Balloon Boy and JJ" was a good reason. Seriously, with Bart's striking resemblance to the animatronic boy and his constant wearing of that familiar blue and red cap, he was always mistaken as the "Lost Twin of BB". And with Aaliyah's blonde locks and the same cap of orange and purple that Balloon Boy had, she was often called "JJ's Twin Sister" because of her close resemblance to the hallucination.

Now they were still being called that, the "Adult Balloon Couple", as they were called.

Bart had bought all of the animatronics just so that he could reminisce the memories he had when he was just a boy. Aaliyah didn't really agree to it at first, fearing that the animatronics might come alive and haunt them again, but after a week of observing, she finally gave in.

"You don't have to worry, Aaliyah." he had said to his wife with a smile. "These animatronics are harmless."

"Yet," she retorted back, a displeased look on her face. "You managed to convince me about this, but half of me still doubts about it."

Bart chuckled. "Oh, don't worry, Aaliyah. I'm sure you'll be fully convinced once I tell you where these pieces of metal will live." he said with a grin, winking at his wife before making his way into the car after packing the last animatronic humanoids at the back of the truck.

Aaliyah sighed, taking one last glance at the animatronics before shaking her head, walking to the front passenger's seat.

"I still don't know how this truck can manage to lift up to 40 animatronics! Did you give it an energizer?"

"Trust me, Aaliyah. It won't break down."

After a thirty minute drive to home, Aaliyah and Bart unpacked the animatronics into the large basement that they have. They bought the home of Henry, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza owner, since there weren't that many houses built that time. And plus, their grown-up friends were just living by the road.

The blonde woman panted as she placed Circus Baby on the floor, just seated next to the deactivated Balloon Boy. "Phew! Man, for a thirteen-year old animatronic girl, she sure is heavy," she sighed, walking up to her husband, who brought with him Freddy Fazbear. The animatronic bear was sleeping behind his shoulder, his arms dangling right above his chest.

The 24-year old man giggled. "She's an animatronic, what do you expect?"

Aaliyah scoffed, crossing her arms while smirking. "Doesn't have to be that heavy."

The woman noticed the limp Freddy Fazbear in Bart's arms.

"Aren't you supposed to have him seated next to his gang?"

Bart grinned, his blue eyes striking a look at Freddy.

"You see, Aaliyah, I have other plans."

"Bart, you are crazy!"

"Relax, Aaliyah. There's nothing to worry about."

Bart and Aaliyah have been arguing about something for the past few minutes after salvaging the animatronics. Bart wanted to actually activate Freddy Fazbear, and Aaliyah was sure as hell panicking to death.

Oh no, she thought, sweat pouring from her forehead, even though the air conditioner was keeping them cool. If he activates Freddy, all hell breaks lose. If he activates Freddy, he'll totally flip out and destroy the house; and maybe kill us even. If he activates Freddy, then the lore of Freddy Fazbear's will be repeated once again.

Seeing the expression on Aaliyah's face, Bart chuckled.

"Don't just laugh at me like that!" Aaliyah exclaimed, eyes widened.

"Just relax, Aaliyah. Why don't you go take a bath and go outside; I'll handle everything here and talk to Freddy for a while."

The JJ-look-alike only blinked a couple of times at this, but then huffed. She smiled, sitting on the nearby couch just near the table. "Nah, I'll stay with you. You know you can't handle things like this on your own."

Now it was Bart's time to scoff. "You're one to talk." he grumbled, returning to his work.

Aaliyah only giggled at this. Gosh, Bart is so cute when he's pretending to be angry, she thought, smiling softly.

Just a while ago, the couple had a discussion about Bart wanting to activate Freddy to see if he still works fine. And even though Aaliyah had been constantly yelling about how that was a bad idea, she knows who Bart is. He can be really insistent and would still work on whatever he wanted.

"Nothing's going to happen, Allie. Just a few words with the humanoid bear and we're done! Easy as pie." Bart tried to explain to her earlier.

Just a few words indeed, she had retorted in her mind, rolling her eyes. And after those 'few words' of yours this whole place is going to crumble down thanks to Freddy.

She didn't know why or how he got them, but Bart was keeping THOUSANDS of power chips in his closets. New ones, indeed. With the new and improved technology, people can go making hundreds of those, but thousands?

He even prepared one for Freddy right now. But he says he'll apply that later.

Sometimes she keeps wondering on why she married this crazy guy. But even though this guy's nuts, she still loves him with all her heart. That's what they vowed when they were kids and teens.

After having finished with his work, Bart scooted back, leaning against the foot of the couch, next to Aaliyah's legs. "Well! It's all done," he said, wiping some sweat from his forehead. "What do you say?"

Aaliyah looked at the fixed-up Freddy up and down. He was finally back to his old self again; Bart surely did a good clean up on him. A tuft of wavy, vandyke brown hair was sticking up on the top of his head, with some side bangs that left a certain place on the forehead somewhat visible. But he was missing his top hat.

No, not only his top hat... Bart had stripped Freddy naked off his clothes so that he could properly clean the human animatronic bear. Aaliyah wondered how her husband cleaned the bear's private part...

...she shook her head.

She had nothing to worry about, anyway. Bart was smart enough to cover Freddy's lower parts, clearly making the legs, feet and his crotch invisible, which delighted Aaliyah. She didn't have to look at that private part whenever she passed the front of the sala...

...but Freddy still has that perfectly sculpted upper half of him, which burned her cheeks like lava.

Bart, fully aware of her reactions, raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "You staring at Freddy's body?" he asked, a teasing smirk playing in his face.

Aaliyah's face went full red. She shot him a look, clearly not impressed. "Quit it, Bart. Your body's sexier than his, anyway." As she said, those, she looked away, the red in her face still burning.

Bart sat next to his wife, wrapping his arms around her neck, which resulted in her resting on his shoulder.

She suddenly pushed him away. "Eww, you're smelly!" She pinched her nose, giggling, her eyebrows narrowed.

Bart pinched his nose, too, groaning. "I can say the same to you, woman! You're smelly of sweat and animatronic oil!" he yelled back, tickling his wife.

Both of them started laughing until they were both lying on the mattress of the sofa, looking into each others' eyes, blue and aquamarine locking stares with each other.

"You wanna... clean up after?" he said, kissing Aaliyah's forehead.

"Well... I don't have a choice, do I?" the woman replied, giving a soft chuckle.

Bart lifted himself off the couch, then taking Aaliyah's hand, who got up from the mattress. "Let's go to the bathroom." he said before running with his wife.

The Banks couple slept on their bed, sweaty, wet messes on the mattress. Bart kissed his wife's lips, feeling the warm sensation run through him again.

When they broke away, Aaliyah smiled up at him. "We should definitely do it again sometime." she said, burying her face on her husband's chest.

Bart chuckled, playing with Allie's blonde streaks, twirling them around his finger. "Don't worry. We eventually will." he said, sniffing his wife's hair. "But not for a few months. The soon-to-be-here baby will be upset."

Aaliyah laughed softly, swatting her husband's arm.

Bart looked into the eyes of his only woman, smiling contentedly.

"I love you, Aaliyah. My little JJ."

Aaliyah smiled back, kissing his lips.

"I love you too, Bart. BB, rather."

And so with that, both slept in each other's arms.

R&R!
