Chapter 7

At home, I was incredibly tired from playing video games with my friends all night. Slowly starting to lose my sight from being so sleepy, I tiredly got in my bed and closed my eyes, slumbering until the sun shines in the sky.

I awoke from my sleep, well-rested and hungry.

I got out of my bed and walked into the kitchen.

My mom was at work so I had the house to myself for a while. Fixing myself some grits and eggs, I poured some orange juice and started to eat.

While I was eating, my phone started to ring.

"Who could that be?" I asked myself before I looked at the caller I.D.

It was mom.

"Huh, wonder what she wants." I said before answering the phone. "Hello." I said. "Hi baby, just calling to see how your time with Freddy and his friends went?" My mom asked. "It went great! That's the longest I've ever stayed up for anything!" I said. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourself sweetie. And since you're going to the 12th grade, I figured you and I could go out and get some new clothes." My mother suggested. "Sounds good." I said. "I get off at 2, so I'll pick you up after I get off work okay." My mom said. "Okay, I'll ne ready when you get here." I said. "Okay baby, I love you." My mom said to me. "I love you too." I said before we both hung up.

"Okay, it's 10:35 and my mom gets off work at 2:00. All I have to do is keep myself busy until she gets here. Simple enough." I told myself.

I remembered that I needed to catch up on my updates for my games on my Xbox One.

I decided to go do that to see what new stuff I got for my games.

I started with Batman: Arkham Kinght. I got both the Harley Quinn and Batgirl pack to play later. I was excited for that because I really wanted to get more into the Batman lore.

Next was DragonBall Xenoverse.

I checked and saw that I got a lot of new characters. I got Super Saiyan God Goku(With the blue hair) with Super Saiyan God Vegeta, Broly, and Golden Frieza. I wanted to get Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, but since the God pack came out I decided to get that first.

My last updated game was Mortal Kombat X.

When I checked, I noticed the menu say I got the DLC character Jason Voorhees. I wasn't a huge Jason Voorhees fan like most people, but I will admit that having him as a DLC character in Mortal Kombat was a great idea. I saw some gameplay of him online and I just had to have him. I also got information on the Predator being a DLC character so I'll be saving my money up for that as well as the DragonBall GT pack.

With my updates checked out, I decided to test them out to see if my money was spent well.

Sure enough, my money was spent well.

Everything ran smoothly with the updates. I got a lot farther in my games than I did without the updates. Not really in the mood for some T.V., I chose to just play my games until my mom gets home.

A long while goes by and I received a call from my mother.

She told me that she's a few minutes away from the house and to already get my clothes on.

Wasting no time, I got my clothes on and waited for her to come.

She showed up after a while.

I walked out of the house and locked it. Then I got in my moms car and we drove off. While we were driving, we talked about how our days have been. I told her about the updates in my games and she told me about her busy day at work. It was a great way for us to pass the time while driving.

We made it to the mall after a few minutes.

We got out of the car and walked inside.

It wasn't as packed as it was most days so getting my clothes won't be a hassle.

"Alright! No that many people here so this shouldn't take too long." I said. "Right." My mom said. "So where are we going first?" My mom asked me.

I looked at her with slight confusion.

"Well it's your day, so you can decide where we go." My mom said. "Oh okay." I said.

I thought about where I wanted to go for a while.

Then I thought of where to go first.

"Let's go to some clothing stores, and get the shoes last." I said. "Alright, lead the way." My mom said.

With that, we began our walk.

We headed to Aeropostale first since it was the closest.

Once inside, I looked through the store and picked out my clothes. I chose a light blue collar shirt, a white shirt with graffiti designs on it, a black and grey collar shirt, and some pants(Mostly red, blue, and grey).

After getting my clothes purchased at the register, we left and continued to the next store.

The next store was Old Navy.

Some days I want to go classy, and what better store to buy classy clothes than Old Navy.

When we made it to the store, we walked in and I picked my clothes. I chose a long-sleeved buttoned red shirt, a buttoned blue shirt, and khakis. I also got some fancy socks and canvas(You can never be too classy).

Now that I've got all of my clothes, all I have to do is get some new shoes for when I normally go out. And what better place to find good shoes than Foot Locker.

I told my mom where I wanted to go next and she said "Okay". We went to Foot Locker shortly after.

Upon reaching Foot Locker, I already saw some shoes worth purchasing.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much money left so I had to choose carefully.

We walked closer into the store and I looked at the different shoes. (So many good ones, so little money)I thought to myself. My mom sat down on the bench outside, resting her legs. Her legs deserve some rest after telling me how much of a pain it was for to stand up for hours at work today.

Eventually, I chose the shoes that I wanted.

I chose some black and red Nikes, blue and white Nikes, and grey and red Nikes(I was a bit of a Nikes fan). When I told the cashier about the shoes I wanted, he examined my feet for me to find the right size. After that, he went in the back room and pulled out the spares. He told me the prices for them and I paid. With my shoes packed, I walked out of the store and went to my mother.

She was still sitting on the bench, playing a game on her phone.

When she looked up at me, she got up off the bench and put her phone in her pocket.

"Did you get the shoes you wanted?" My mom asked me. "Yes ma'am." I said. "Good, now is there anything else you want to do before we leave?" My mom asked. "Hm, maybe a pretzel." I answered. "Alright." My mom said before we went to the pretzel shop.

Once there, we ordered my pretzel and my mom got ice cream.

Afterwards, we walked out of the mall and to the car.

When we got in the car, I checked my phone to see the time.

It was 5:20.

"Oh man, it's almost time for me to go to work!" I exclaimed. "Really!" My mother said. "Yes." I said showing my mom the time. "Then we better hurry and get you home." My mom said before she drove out of the parking lot and rushed home.

My mother is a gentle driver in general, but when it comes to either me or her getting to work on time, slow driving is not tolerated.

Shortly, me made it home.

I quickly took my stuff in the house and put on my uniform in a matter of seconds.

I rushed out of the house and got back in the car with my mom.

She hurriedly drove me to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Once there, I got out of the car, said goodbye to my mom, and walked in.

I checked my phone to see if I was on time. Thankfully I was.

I looked up to see Bonnie and Vix playing Super Smash Brothers for Wii U.

(Oh yeah, we didn't play one last night)I thought to myself as I walked further in the restaurant. "Hey guys!" I announced. Bonnie and Vix turned to my direction. "Sup Cal, I was wondering when you were gonna show." Bonnie said. "Hello lad." Vix said.

Freddy and Chica were coming out of the kitchen.

"Hi Calvin." Chica said. "Nice to see you again Calvin." Freddy said. "Where's Mangle?" I asked, wondering where my friend was. "She's resting right now, but she should wake up in a little while." Freddy replied. "Oh okay, so what were you two doing in the kitchen?" I asked in curiosity. "We were just baking and storing pizzas for tomorrow." Chica answered. "You wanna help?" Chica asked me. "Sure." I replied. "Okay, follow us." Chica said, signaling for me to follow.

I followed them into the kitchen to help them with the pizzas.

"So what do I have to do?" I asked. "Just mush the dough until all the air comes out, me and Freddy will take care of the rest." Chica explained. "Alright, let's do it!" I said, eager to work. Chica said "Okay." and me, her, and Freddy began to bake and store the pizzas.

We finished up after about an hour.

"Whew, this took longer than I was expecting." I admitted. "Yeah, but we've baked enough pizza to last not only tomorrow, but the week if we're lucky." Chica said. "We couldn't have baked so many without you Calvin. Thank you." Freddy said, grateful for my help. "No problem." I said.

Just then, Mangle came out of her room and walked to where me, Freddy, and the rest were.

"Hey Mangle, good to see you woke up." I said. "H-Hello." Mangle said through her radioed voice. "She's learning." I said. "Yes, simple words but still. We've even been teaching her how to speak on our breaks." Freddy explained. "Good for her." I said happily.

Mangle walked into the kitchen to give me my usual cheek nudging.

"Thanks Mangle." I said. "She nodded her head happily. "So you guys got everything set for tomorrow?" I asked. "Pretty much yeah." Freddy replied. "Okay, in the meantime, I'm gonna play with Bonnie and Vix in Super Smash Brothers." I said as I started walking to Vix and Bonnie. "Be careful Calvin, when you're taking on those two when it comes to video games, especially Smash Brothers, the chance of you winning is minimal. Even we had difficulty against them." Freddy said, referring to him, Chica, and Mangle. "Uh thanks, I'll keep that in mind." I said looking back before I continued walking to Bonnie and Vix.

Shortly, I made it to Bonnie and Vix.

I was watching in awe at how Bonnie and Vix were going at it with each other(As well as wiping the floor with their opponents). "Man, you guys are really going hardcore in this game." I said. "I know right!" Bonnie exclaimed. "This game is a great way for us to let off stress at work." Vix said. "Oh, okay cool." I said.

After some silence, I spoke again.

"You guys mind if I play too?" I asked. "Not at all man." Bonnie said. "Just get a Wii Remote and join up lad." Vix instructed.

(Yes)I said to myself in my head. I always wanted to play Super Smash Brothers ever since it was first announced but I didn't have a Wii U. I would've had one, but I bought a Xbox One instead(Which wasn't a bad choice either).

I did what Vix instructed and got the Wii Remote while Vix and Bonnie quit the match. They started a new match when I turned the power on for the Wii Remote.

The screen then changed to the characters selection menu.

Bonnie chose Mega Man. Vix chose Zelda. And I chose Sonic.

Our com opponents were Mario, Pac-Man, and Bowser.

"Okay lad, you ready to rumble with and against us?!" Vix asked in excitement. "Yeah!" I exclaimed with similar enthusiasm. "Then let's rumble!" Bonnie interrupted.

And in an instant, the battle started.

Bonnie and Vix were already bringing their A-game, making the fight already difficult to win(Not that I actually have a chance at all). The Wii Remote controls were painfully difficult, but I got the hang of it eventually. It even helped me bounce back a little in the competition.

Freddy, Chica, and Mangle came over to us to see us playing. They were mostly watching me handle myself in the fight. I was starting to get better, what with me taking out the coms, and occasionally getting a few hits on Bonnie and Vix. Although, those two were still putting the hurt on me and the coms(No surprise there).

So far the coms have had over 4 deaths, I've had 3 deaths, and Vix and Bonnie have had only 2 deaths(Mostly due to simple mistakes and their own little brawls between each other).

Once the match ended, we all took a little break.

"Man, I've never had to work so hard for my win in a video game." I said tiredly. "Ha, told you me and Vix don't mess around in this game." Bonnie said proudly. "Yeah well, let's see the results to see how good you were against us." Vix said. Me and Bonnie both agreed and Vix moved the screen to the results.

The results showed that Vix and Bonnie were tied, making them 1st, I got 2nd, and the rest of the coms got 3rd place and below.

"Yay, You got 2nd place Calvin!" Chica yelled as she brought me into an intensive hug. "Uh...Chica." Freddy said. "Yes Freddy." Chica said. "You're kind of giving Calvin a lot more love than he can take." Freddy joked. "What do you mean?" Chica asked before she looked down.

She quickly noticed I starting to turn blue from her strong robot hug.

She immediately let go and I started to breathe again.

"Sorry Calvin, sometimes I don't know my own strength." Chica said while blushing. "D-Don't worry about it." I reassured her while getting up off the ground with Mangle helping me up. "The love is greatly appreciated." I added. Chica started to feel better after I said that.

Doing my usual time check-up, I looked at the time on my phone.

It was 4:50.

(Wow, a lot earlier than my usual check-ups. I probably have time for)I thought to myself.

"You guys wanna have another go?" I asked. "Heck yeah!" Bonnie exclaimed. "I'm down for one more round." Vix rhymed. "Ok." I said.

We set up a new location for our battle, new characters, and new opponents.

With everything ready, we quickly began the match.

Throughout the match, I was doing quite better than the first time I played. I even got some good hits in on Bonnie and Vix, course they quickly and easily retaliated. The coms were either taking on each other or me, Bonnie, and Vix, to which we quickly disposed of them every time. This match was going really well.

At the end of the match, we looked at the results.

It wasn't any different from the first results but I did better this time than the last.

"Yeah, better than my last go!" I exclaimed. "Got that right Cal." Bonnie agreed. "I agree lad, keep this up and you might get good like us." Vix said, referring to her and Bonnie. "Heh, heh, yeah." I said before I checked my phone again.

This time, it was 5:30.

"Alright, time for me to go home." I said. "I swear can there ever be a night that lasts way longer than normal?" Bonnie asked in an irritated tone. "Sucks I know but that's how nature works." I joked. "Okay, see ya Calvin." Bonnie said.

"See you next time laddie." Vix said, giving me a surprising hug. It was unexpected, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

"Bye." Mangle managed to say while also giving me a hug.

"Be safe Calvin." Chica said in a sisterly, caring tone. "I always am." I said back.

"Look forward to seeing you over the summer." Freddy said in his fatherly tone. "Me too." I agreed.

After saying our good-bye's, I walked outside and got in my car.

"If my time with Freddy and the gang's gonna be like this all summer, I'm gonna have a great summer." I said before I drove out of the parking lot, back home to get some rest.
