I do realize I said in the summary that Vincent was the one that hurts Lexi. But I decided to change it into him accidently getting her hurt and instead of liking it, he gets extremely protective over her in the future when they meet again. She is the only one he could never hurt or if he did, like it.


Chapter 7 -

It's been about 13 years and to this day, Vincent believed Lexi was dead. And truth be told, he did get revenge on the boy and his family that got her 'killed.'

And yet, he somehow found himself at the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, the second place to the diner that closed shortly after the accident had occurred.

He was now the day guard and didn't enjoy having to work with kids. But it was the first step to getting his revenge on Fazbear Entertainment.

The new place also had new animatronics or 'toys' as the business calls them. While the original five were in the Parts/Service room. The building also got much bigger too but that's cause it's a new location.

"Urg!" Vincent let out a deep sigh in the corner of the main area with his arms folded over his chest. "When will this damn day end?"

"Excuse me?" A young girl suddenly came up to him.

"What?" Vincent glared down at her.

"Where's the bathroom?" She asked.

"Down there." He pointed to the Main Hall.

"Thanks, Mister!" She smiled and skipped away.

"Stupid brats." Vincent groaned and rolled his eyes.

He then saw the owner, Mr. Fazbear, son of the original owner of the diner, leave his office and head towards the doors with another employee.

"Where are they going?" Vincent questioned and decided to follow him.

Vincent followed fairly close behind and stopped a few feet away when he saw Fazbear stop and talk to a girl about his age.

"Who is that?" Vincent asked himself and listened in on the conversation.

"Nice to meet you, Lexi." Fazbear shook her hand.

'Lexi?' Vincent thought to him. '…No…it can't be…'

He shook his head and kept listening.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Fazbear." Lexi shook his hand back.

"Are you excited to start your new job?" Fazbear asked.

"You bet!" Lexi grinned.

'That voice definitely sounds like her…she even looks like her too.' Vincent looked at her closely. 'A 13 years older version of her.'

"Well, come with me. Why don't I show you around? Have you been here before?" Fazbear asked, and began to lead her away from the doors.

Vincent, quickly ran so he wouldn't be seen by Fazbear or Lexi but stayed close enough to see and hear them. Thankfully they didn't notice him.

"Here? No." Lexi shook her head. "I went to the diner when I was a kid. Even had the five plushies. But for some reason it closed."

Lexi rubbed her scarred head that was under a baseball hat. She did still have hair but it was the top of her head, that was all scarred up from surgeries, that the hair never grew back so she has to wear a hat over it.

She was never told why it closed. All that was said that a accident happened and that's why her head is screwed up. Since that 'accident' she has had nonstop dreams of a boy that seemed to of aged with her.

Lexi didn't know his name or why she always dreamt of him, but she knew one thing for sure, the color purple was always what he wore.

But when she tried to tell her family about the mystery guy, they just said,

"It was just a dream. He's not real."

As a kid, teenager, and now young adult, she never understood what everyone was hiding from her or why they kept saying the guy wasn't real when she knows he is.

"It ran out of money." Fazbear lied. He knew what happened and wasn't about to tell her if her family hasn't.

'What is it, Fazbear? Didn't want to tell her the truth?' Vincent raised a eyebrow. 'Wait…she said she went to the diner, as a kid, had the plushies, and something seems to be wrong with her head…'

"Aw, that sucks. I still have the plushies actually." Lexi replied.

"Who was your favorite?" Fazbear asked.

"Foxy." Lexi smiled.

'Holy shit it's her!' Vincent knew for sure it was her. It all added up. And he could never forget that smile. He then ran to the Parts/Service room to grab something special.

"O-Oh really?" Fazbear said, shocked but he hid it from her. "Well, here's the new and improved band."

"Do you still have the old guys?" Lexi asked, watching the band play.

She didn't really like that Bonnie and Freddy looked like girls now. Or that Chica was very thin and her bib didn't say, "Let's Eat!"

"Yeah, they're in parts and service. Come on, I'll show you BB, Roxy or Mangle as the employees call her, and the Prize Corner." Fazbear led her to the games where BB was and then to Kid's Cove.

"What happened to the fox?" Lexi asked, watching the kids take Mangle apart and back together.

"Some kids broke her and now it's her gimmick to be taken apart and put back together." Fazbear replied. "Now Prize Corner has the Marionette and some familiar plushies."

"Huh…" Lexi thought for a minute. "I think I remember the old place having a prize corner and that's where I got my plushies from."

"Yes! It did!" Fazbear grinned and walked her out of Kid's Cove. "Glad to know you remember that. I mean, where else would those plushies have came from?"

"Heh, yeah. I guess you're right about that." Lexi giggled. "So the Marionette gives the kids the prizes?"

"Yep." Fazbear nodded.

"Lexi!" Vincent ran up to them with something behind his back.

"Huh?" Lexi turned to the guy, who looked exactly like the guy from her dreams. He was even wearing purple but then again that's the uniform.

"Oh hey, Vincent. You know her?" Fazbear asked him.

"Yeah! We were best friends as kids!" Vincent grinned.

"We…were…?" Lexi stared her him.

"Yeah! Don't you remember me?" Vincent frowned.

"I…sort of…since that accident my memories have been in pieces from the day and before it." Lexi said sadly. "No…I'm sorry. But I don't know you."

"Don't you remember someone wearing purple?" Vincent asked.

"I've dreamt of a boy all the time that aged with me…you look like him actually…but I don't know his name." Lexi said sadly. "I know he wore purple all the time…"

Vincent felt some hope.

"Well, that's me! I always wear purple! Even when I was a kid, I did!" Vincent smiled a little again. "I was with you when that accident happened."

"Can you tell me what happened?" Lexi asked, hoping her apparently best friend would tell her.

"No…sorry…" Vincent replied when he got a glare from Fazbear.

"Okay…" Lexi frowned. So much for finding out what happened.

"God, I can't believe this!" Vincent had a grin again. "I thought you were dead all this time and here you are! With me, again!"

"Why did you think I was dead?" Lexi questioned. "If you were with me, wouldn't you of known I was okay?"

"I was taken away." Vincent replied.

"Why, Vin?" Lexi asked, curiously.

"My parents were found dead that same day and I was put into a foster home. I was never told you were alive." Vincent said. "But I'm so happy to know you are alive and we can be together again!"

Vincent pulled her into a tight hug.

"Well, I'm glad to know I wasn't insane for dreaming about you all these years. I'm happy we can be together again too!" Lexi smiled. "Too bad I don't know what was a memory or what was a dream…"

"What do you mean, Lexi?" Vincent stared at her but didn't pull away.

"My memories are in pieces, as I said. I dreamt about you and I having fun and doing things like going to the diner. But I don't know if they actually happened or not." Lexi replied, rubbing her head again.

Vincent felt something he hadn't felt in a long time in his heart. He didn't like seeing Lexi's head the way it was. He knew it was a wig under that hat and that under the wig was scars from where she was bitten.

"Well, since you two seem to know each other." Fazbear stepped in before Vincent could say anything. "Vincent, why don't you finish the tour? You could talk and try and help her memory."

"Okay." Vincent nodded, happily.

"Wait. So am I hired or not?" Lexi asked, confused.

"Well, your resume seems to be in check and I don't want to be another person that kept you two apart so yes. You are hired." Fazbear nodded.

"Thanks!" Lexi said in relief.

"You're welcome. Have a good day, you two." Fazbear replied.

"We will!" Vincent said and grabbed her hand.

Vincent then pulled her down the main hall. On the way, Lexi noticed the Golden Freddy plushie in his other hand.

"Where'd you get that at?" Lexi asked, looking at it.

"Huh? Oh well, how about we go to Parts/Service room and we can talk privately there?" Vincent suggested.

"Fine by me." Lexi nodded and they walked through the door.

Lexi immediately noticed Bonnie leaning against the wall while sitting down without a face and arm first.

"My god what happened to them?" Lexi looked from Bonnie to Chica to Freddy to Foxy.

"They got old…I guess." Vincent replied sitting down against the door after closing it. Lexi did the same and sat down next to him.

"So where'd you get the Golden Freddy plushie?" Lexi asked again.

"Back over there is a box full of them." Vincent pointed to a corner.

"Ooh." Lexi replied and looked around. "Where is Golden Freddy?"

"In the shadows near the box of plushies. He's a bit hard to see since it's so dark over there." Vincent said. "I actually still have my Golden Freddy plushie I won with you."

He then handed her the plushie.

"I was with you…?" Lexi thought about her 'dreams.'

"Yeah. Do you remember?" Vincent asked, hopefully.

"I…I think so." Lexi said looking at the plushie. "Was a guard there?"

"Yeah! He actually got it out of the crane machine for us!" Vincent said.

"Then…yeah… I know I had a dream about us being at a crane machine and a guard was with us…PJ is think was his name?" Lexi asked.

"PG." Vince corrected.

"Right." Lexi remembered. "We were there for a birthday too."

"Yeah! But you agreed with the birthday girl that we would sit somewhere else since I wasn't invited." Vincent said.

"Why weren't you invited?" Lexi asked, not remembering how he was bullied and that the other kids hated him.

"I was bullied a lot but you always stuck up for me." Vincent slowly put a arm around her and pulled her close again.

"I guess we still have things in common cause I was bullied too. Cause of my head and all." Lexi placed a hand on her hat, but didn't take it off.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Vincent felt anger rise in him.

"Thanks… I'm sorry you got bullied too. And that I wasn't there anymore all cause of that accident." Lexi replied, looking into his eyes.

"It's alright. It's not yours- or Foxy's- fault." Vince said and that caught Foxy's attention. He couldn't move until it was nighttime but he and the others were listening too.

"What did we do that day other then get you that Golden plushie? Did we watch the band?" Lexi asked.

"Yep! And watched Golden Freddy and Foxy's shows too!" Vincent replied.

"Yeah…then that kid and you got into a fight…I remember that being in my dreams…then nothing." Lexi said and Vincent's reaction was enough for her to know it really happened.

"That kid…he pushed me into you…" Vincent said, looking away from her, deciding now was a good time for the truth to come out.

"Then what?" Lexi asked, putting a hand over his that was still around her shoulders. She held his hand.

Vincent put a light grip on her hand as she did the same and sighed.

"The accident happened. Foxy…he accidentally bit down on your forehead. I was about ready to kill that kid if a different guard hadn't stepped in and said his son, the kid, wouldn't do that." Vincent replied.

"I was still about to attack nevertheless, but then your mom came over and that brought my attention back to you." Vincent felt sadness overwhelm him. He completely forgot what sadness felt like. "You were dead. At least I thought you were."

"What happened next?" Lexi asked giving him a small hug, making him turn to her.

"When you were taken to the hospital, I had to stay at the diner with the police. They found out after going to my house that my parents were dead and they knew I would never hurt you so they closed the case as a accident."

"I was put into foster home and never got the chance to see you again or was told you were okay." Vincent added. "I even had to change schools."

"That sucks, Vin." Lexi said sadly. "I don't get why you couldn't see me if the police closed it as a accident."

"Yeah…I don't either." Vince lied. He knew it was cause his parents were dead and the police thought he did it but also knew he was abused too. "So what do you remember?"

"Of what you told me? Nothing." Lexi replied. "I know I woke up in the hospital and I was told I was in a accident. But I think when I was in coma that I had my first dream of you."

"I tried asking where you were. But of course, I got how you 'weren't real' or was 'never there' but I knew they were all lying." Lexi added. "And since then the dreams have continued every night for the last 13 years."

"Were they…bad? I mean, did they turn into nightmares?" Vincent squeezed her one hand.

"No." Lexi said. "They were always good. Some were repeats but I guess that's proof they were actually memories. The worst part was the surgeries I had to go through."

"I bet." Vincent placed his other hand on her hat. "But even with what's under there, you are still beautiful to me." His grin appeared.

"And you became handsome." Lexi gave a shy smile back.

"So, is Foxy still your favorite?" Vincent questioned.

"Yeah…even after that accident. I still love him the most and know I had a lot of fun watching his shows." Lexi turned and looked at the fox on the other side of the room. "I'm not angry at him at all."

"Even after what your life became and how ruined it is?" Vincent asked.

"Yeah…it was a accident. Besides, it's that bastard's fault for pushing you into me. And while my life has been Hell all these years, it got a whole lot better knowing you were always real." Lexi shrugged.

"Honestly, I can say the same to you." Vincent purred, making Lexi giggle.

"I would hope so." Lexi kept her smile.

"Come on, we better get back out there." Vincent helped her up. "Why don't you keep that Golden Freddy plushie?"

"I think I will." Lexi smiled.

"So what exactly is your job?" Vincent asked, opening the door.

"I just have to help with birthdays and when I'm not doing that, see if any kids need help with anything." Lexi replied.

"Ah, too bad you aren't a guard like me." Vincent said.

"Yeah, too bad. Maybe one day I will be switched over to that." Lexi said.

"Maybe." Vincent said, opening the door and leading her out.

The two best friends left the room and once the door was shut, the other three, still turned on, animatronics could hear Foxy whine a little.

'What have I done to tat lassie?' Foxy thought to himself. 'At least ta lassie an lad are together again. An…she forgives ol' Foxy too…'

Meanwhile, the other three couldn't believe that the bite victim had came back. And forgives Foxy.

'So the kid came back after all this time…at least she survived. Chica, Bonnie, and I should apologize to Foxy when night comes…' Freddy thought to himself. 'We thought she was dead cause of him.'

A few hours later, a birthday party was going on and while Lexi helped a few other employees with it, especially the planner of it, Vincent stayed close by. Mostly to look after Lexi.

Because after what happened 13 years ago, he wasn't about to let anyone take her away from him again.


And now I'm going to go try and work on D&D...
