By: End of Grace

A/N: First, Sorry for the two week wait. Life sucks at the moment and writer's block is a pain in the arse. Second, holy reviews Freddy, this chapter has gotten more followers and reviews then "Fix Me and I Will Fix You" on and is also the most I have ever received, thank you guys SO much! Love you all! Thirdly, the wonderful HelValkyrie has made me some fan art for this story as well as other children animatronics for Foxy, Chica and Net. I love her Bonnie and Shadow picture and if you wish to know what my Shadow Freddy looks like go to her DeviantArt page: Fourthly: PLEASE for the love of FNaF do not mention the fourth game in your reviews or comments. I have yet to play the game myself or watch Markiplier videos. That's for later X Again a really big thank you to Speedox12 for beta reading this for me, I'm grateful for all your hard work.

B/N: …huh,… I was wondering when we'd hit the namesake chapter.

Chapter 10: To Fix What Has Been Broken

Goldie tried to ignore his warning systems as they warned him of the dropping in temperature. He was dipping down allies and sticking to the shadows as he ran on his animatronics feet. He wasn't built for running, he was a teddy bear for crying out loud, his middle and stubby legs made it look like he was waddling at best. He could hear and lorry coming down the road and decided to jump onto it and hope that it was taking him his way. He had to get to the warehouse. He growled deeply and clenched his paws tightly. The warehouse, he thought he had buried that place deep in his memory chip, but that little shit had to come back and ruin everything. Now said little shit was going to kill Mike or worse tell Mike everything and let him live to tell Freddy and the others everything he had kept hidden all these years. He leapt onto the back of the lorry and held on tight, poking his head out now and again to read the road signs as they zoomed past. He banged his head against the metal door as his memory chip flashed up the memory of Dell in Springtrap's body and Bonnie. How was he going to do this and still keep his secrets? If Billy hadn't said anything, maybe he could just knock him out and hand him over to the police and come back to the pizzeria with Mike as the hero, but it seemed unlikely. Billy was bound to have blabbed something, even if it was a slip of the tongue, Mike was a smart kid, he would put it together and then tell Freddy.

Freddy, Goldie felt his pump squeeze tightly at the thought of his love and the deep shame he felt for sleeping around with Billy. His and Freddy's relationship was still rather new, so they were still learning things, which sometimes lead to them arguing which meant Freddy would ignore him for a while until things between them were resolved. But that wasn't a good enough excuse to take advantage of Billy, who wasn't the full ticket to begin with and use him to vent his sexual frustrations on. Yet even when Freddy took him back, he still played about with Billy, but he made it a rule that they only did it at the warehouse so he wouldn't be caught. There was just something about the way Billy just... worshipped him, he guessed, called him master which was such a thrill. Billy was such a gullible, obedient member of staff and all Goldie had to do was say a few nice things to him and keep an eye out for him against some horrible kids and David. That was why Billy's betrayal came as such a shock.

-Flash Back-

Goldie was doing an inventory of the spare parts room on Mr. McBear's request. Chica and Foxy were running low on spare parts which meant another trip to the warehouse. Goldie smiled evilly as his processor came up with some new kinky ideas for him and Billy to try. Of course he couldn't wear himself out too much, Freddy had been giving him such naughty looks and wiggling his rear at him, letting him know he was going to be in for a treat when the pizzeria was closed. He was chuckling to himself, his fan whirling loudly as his systems started to heat up that he didn't notice Billy slipping into the room and locking the door behind him.

"Master?" Billy said as he came up to Goldie making the animatronic jump and spin around to face him.

"Billy! What have I told you about calling me that in the pizzeria?" Goldie growled.

Billy lowered his head slightly "Sorry Goldie, but since the camera in here doesn't work I thought it would be ok."

Goldie relaxed and patted Billy on the shoulder "It's fine, but we must be careful, the boss and the other animatronics won't like it Billy and you wouldn't want us to stop being friends?"

"No mas... Goldie. That would be awful." said Billy desperately "I only want to make you happy. You're wonderful."

Goldie felt a tiny flinch of guilt, but brushed it off "We might be making a small trip to the warehouse soon if you're interested."

"That would be great... I've missed our time together... was starting to think we wouldn't get to do it again."

Goldie turned his back to him and looked at the shelves "Don't worry Billy, as long as we don't get caught, you can continue to make your master happy."

"Actually, that's just what I plan to do."

Goldie felt Billy's hands against his fur, but didn't have time to react as Billy flipped his movement switch. He felt all his joints lock in place, his whole body no longer answering his commands to move, he was stuck. Billy struggled to turn him around and then took off his top hat and bow tie.

"KID, this isn't funny, turn my free movement back on right now!" Goldie ordered from his voice box, which seemed odd since his jaw wasn't moving.

"But I have a big surprise for you Goldie! I thought about your words and have come up with a great idea." said Billy as he reached back around to Goldie's seem and pushed his hand in to press down on a button just above the movement switch.

Goldie went to order him again, but nothing came out, Billy had turned off his voice box, now he was truly trapped and had no way of getting help. He could only feel Billy opening his seem further and pull his furry coat off of his endoskeleton, leaving him naked and bare and totally humiliated.

"Don't worry Goldie, I've studied your blueprints that I borrowed from the warehouse, along with your spare suit. But it wasn't the same and when something isn't the same it alerts people to something being wrong and I can't have that."

An oily tear fell from Goldie's optic and Billy rushed to wipe it away. "Don't be upset Goldie. I'm going to do what you want after all, I understand you can't do it, after all your an animatronic. You're goodness personified that's why you can't punish those bad kids. So I'm going to do it for you. Of course, those kids aren't scared of me, but they are of you; that's why I'm going to borrow your fur for a while."

Goldie tried to think what the hell Billy was on about when his memory chip flagged up a memory from over a week ago when the two boys had spray painted the wall.

"I'll let the manager know we're going to ban that group of kids when they next come in and cause trouble. Though if I had my way I would stuff them into the spare suits out the back. They would soon behave then." Goldie watched though his optics as Billy started to arrange the spare bodies of the band as he struggled to override his programming in order to move. He couldn't let Billy do this! Sure, he threatened to do it, but it was a joke, but he wouldn't really do it and those spare animatronic bodies had all their metal links and joints inside of them, if Billy placed the kids into those suits the children would be crushed to death. Billy then came over and sat him down in the corner as he removed his lower fur.

"There you go Goldie, front row seats, you get to watch those bad kids become good ones. Isn't that great?" said Billy excitedly as he started to climb into Goldie's fur and slowly lowered his face mask over his head. It was freaky seeing himself waving goodbye at him as he walked out the door, as more oily tears started to fall.

-Flashback end-

Goldie watched the memory play out in his mind. He had watched, unable to do anything, as Billy led each child into the spare room and kill them one by one. Their cries often echoed in his nightmares. The pools of blood that dripped from the tables to the floor, making his vision turn red. Yet what haunted him most was the terrified look on his creators face and his tears at seeing him in such a state. Even Freddy's pump breaking cries couldn't match. He never wanted to cause his owner such misery again and that had meant Billy and his brother had to go.

He poked his head around the corner again and saw he was near the turn off to the industrial site and leapt off the lorry. He rolled over the gravel road, feeling his endoskeleton dent slightly from hitting the ground so hard, his growled out his pain as he started to run again. Thankfully, it was really dark, but quite a few of the warehouses now had cameras on the outside of them so he had to be careful. He snuck around the back of the warehouse to the back door and smirked when he saw the large padlock. He looked down at his paw and flexed as sharp silvery claws popped out. With a single swipe, the padlock fell to the ground in pieces and Goldie stepped inside. He could hear Mike and Billy yelling along with a female voice. He couldn't just walk up there, not without being seen or getting someone hurt, he needed a plan. He looked around the shelves for something to use when he noticed on the wall was the fuse box. He could turn off the lights and sneak up on them.

He climbed on to one of the crates and opened the box and flipped the red switch, watching the warehouse plunge into darkness, his eyes flicking slightly as his night vision came on. He walked slowly down the walkway, when his ears picked up some movement from above him, he tried to see what it was but it was too quick. Then he heard a gun being fired, but he didn't hurry his movements, if Billy was dead all the better, if it was Mike then, oh dear what a shame he was too late. There was some high pitch laughter followed by a loud crash as he came into the open floor at the front of the warehouse. Some creates had fallen to the ground and had buried Billy and the woman underneath them, while Mike was standing up, but out of breath, gazing upwards... and off guard.

Goldie crept up to him and grabbed Mike's arm and kicked him in the back of the knee causing Mike to cry out and fall to the floor. He then reached out and gripped Mike's throat, holding it tightly, but not too tight... at least not yet.

"So Mike... how much has Billy told you?"

-Line Break-

Mike blinked and tried to focus his eyes, but he could only make out Goldie's shape, the only thing he could see for certain was the cruel glow from his optics. Mike didn't know why or how Goldie came to get here, but after everything Billy told him tonight along with Goldie's previous behavior, anger boiled up from his stomach as he glared at the old animatronic.

"Oh, you mean about how you were fucking him behind Freddy's back or how about how murdering those kids was all YOUR FUCKING IDEA!" Mike snapped as he tried to get out of Goldie's grip, but was suddenly dragged closer to him so their noses were touching, his black soulless eyes glaring down into his own. His breath stank of old motor oil and dust with his grip getting even tighter.

"Let's get one thing clear! I never EVER wished the death of a child. Not even those bad ones, it goes against all my programming and everything Father told me!"

Mike gasped as he placed his hands on Goldie's face trying to push him away. "Doesn't change the fact that you're the one that gave Billy the idea! I wonder what he will think when he hears that you murdered his brother in cold blood!"

Goldie growled and pulled his other paw back and drew his claws out, longer and sharper than before, he bought it down with all of his strength, something fell from the top shelf on top of him. What ever it was, was screeching loudly and digging several sharp things into him and pulling him away from Mike, who he had let go. Mike scrambled to his feet and started to run, he didn't know where but just away from Goldie and whatever that was. As he stumbled and tripped around in the dark, he reached the end of one of the walkways that had a large stack of wood creates piled high against the wall. He started to move them quickly, panting heavily as he listened to the distant screeching of the fighting animatronics, as he crawled into the small space he made for himself. He curled up tightly, tried to regain control of his breathing as he gathered up his thoughts. Billy and Connie were either trapped or knocked unconscious by what ever was now attacking Goldie. And somehow Goldie had figured out where they were and now he knew everything, Goldie was going to kill him just to keep his secrets. Where the hell was the police? That stupid tag wasn't working! Now he was likely going to die in here, Billy and Connie would both end up in jail and Goldie will get away with it all. He needed a weapon or something really heavy to defend himself with or maybe try and get out of here and escape so he could call the police.

The hairs on Mike's neck went up and the his instincts that he had built on his first week at the pizzeria woke up with alarm. He strained his ears, he could hear Goldie groaning, but it was far away but the tiny patter of metal foot steps was a lot closer. He looked over the crates, trying to see if he could see the animatronic that saved him, but it was too dark. He was alone... he was sure of it until something sharp poked him in the shoulder. Mike placed his hands quickly over his mouth to stop himself from calling out as he turned slowly to what ever was behind him. The animatronic was about BB's size and about as wide, but from the shadow the face hadn't been finished and neither had the arms and legs, just a pair of dark eyes staring at him expectedly. Mike tried to relax his body as he sat up on his knees in front of the animatronics so they were about the same height.

"Hi,… I'm guessing you're one of Mr. McBear's unfinished models. From your build... I think you're Balloon boy's little sister right?" said Mike softly, hoping Goldie wasn't close enough to hear him.

"Hi" the animatronic spoke, but Mike quickly placed his finger to his lips and shush the small robot.

"Yeah, I'm happy to meet you too, but I think you know there are some bad people and even a bad bear animatronic wandering around here. Think you can help me out?"

The animatronic nodded and came right up close to Mike with the air of an eager puppy waiting for instructions. Mike smiled and rubbed the top of the endoskeleton's head.

"With it being so dark here, Goldie has us all at a disadvantage with the power being out... do you know where the fuse box is? Can you turn the power back on for me?"

The quirky animatronic nodded its head and started to climb the shelves, making its own unique way to the fuse box, while Mike bunked down and hoped Goldie didn't find him until it returned.

-Line Break-

Billy's head was pounding, his shoulder was killing him, he felt so tired... and yet as he climbed out of the pile of junk that had fallen on him, he shook with intense rage. Why was everything going wrong? HE was a good person now, HE was starting a new life for himself being good, so why? Why was it all going BAD for HIM? What was wrong with getting revenge on the monsters that killed his brother and kill the kid that was fixing them? They were the BAD guys not him... well at least this time they were. He glared at the rumble on the ground, he couldn't see that crazy bitch anywhere and he could only hope that was the end of her, which meant he only had to kill Mike and what ever attacked him before he could start his new life off right. He looked down at his bloody leg and pulled up his trouser leg, seeing a large chunk of his skin and flesh had been cut and no sign of the tag either. At least he didn't have to worry about that, once he had dealt with Mike he could simply go and start a life somewhere else. He started to walk down the narrow walkway when he stepped on something hard and reached down and smiled as he picked up the gun. He was going to need it.

Goldie heard the rumble of moving wood and metal and started to walk quickly back the way he came. His night vision showed him everything in his path so he was able to avoid them and not tip off whoever was walking about. He was back where he had confronted Mike, but the pile of rubble had shifted, whoever and Goldie was sure it was Billy, had climbed out and not noticed they were dripping blood everywhere, he could easily pick up his trail. He was about to follow it when he heard a sob coming from underneath the broken crates. It sounded so young and pitiful that his primary objective that was to protect and help children called on him to help. He snorted and went to walk on when another deep upsetting sob echoed in the stillness. Goldie sighed and started to shift and move the broken wood and the metal pipes until he found a young woman in a battered and distressed state.

"Are you alright? You're safe now. " He said as he held his paw out.

The face looked up at him, tears dripping down her face, making Goldie's pump stall as his face recognition sparked his memory chip. A little girl that use to cling to Freddy, always crying, because of her jerk older brother who was... damn.

"Freddy? Why are you here?" Connie sobbed using the back of her top to wipe her face. "Did you follow us from the pizzeria?"

Goldie's insides were in turmoil, but his primary objective continued to order him to help her. "Something like that." he said softly.

She looked a mess, her forehead had a badly cut as did her left leg, and she was most likely bruised all over. She curled up slightly as she looked up at "Freddy" her eyes pleading.

"Freddy... why? Why didn't you save them? My brother, his friends, why didn't you save them?"

Goldie's pump stalled and an overwhelming scene of guilt flooded his hard drive. "Your brother and his friends were tricked as was I. If I could have saved them, believe me, I would have, but I couldn't do anything... I am truly very sorry."

Connie sniffed and rocked slightly as she bangs her fists against her temple. "I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I'm sick of feeling so angry and tired. I'm sick of dreaming of my brother's murdered body and hearing him in my head. I didn't want to hurt anybody,… but I wanted to hurt that guy so much for saving that place. I just wanted you and the pizzeria to go away."

Connie dropped her head into her knees and wept while Goldie bowed his head with shame as oil threatened to run down his face as tears. What was he doing? When did he become such an asshole? Were his secrets really worth killing the kid he owed so much to? Hurting his family and loved ones? Was getting rid of Billy and Mike worth putting this poor girl though more grief? He gripped his paws tightly and placed his hat back on his head as he came to the conclusion, that it wasn't worth it and that he had a chance to make this all right. He stepped a bit closer to Connie with his paw held out.

"Come on Kid, I'm getting you out of here to somewhere safe, when I'll come back here and get Mike before Billy does."

Connie looked up, tears and snot clinging to her face as she brushed her hair aside.

"You're not mad at me? For what I did?"

"You had your reasons, besides it doesn't matter now, the only thing that matters is getting you home."

Connie gave him a watery smile and gave him her hand just as the lights flickered on. She stared, her eyes slowly widening as her jaw dropped as she shook her head.

"No… no no no no, not you, you're the bad one. SOME BODY HELP ME! HE 'S GOING TO KILL ME!" she screamed yanking her hand back and scrambling backwards, her eyes filled with fear.

"Connie, you need to calm down, I'm not a bad bear. I'm here to help you" Goldie pleaded as he stepped towards her, his paw stretched out to take her hand, his golden fur looking ominous in the harsh lights of the warehouse.

"Keep away from me! STAY WAY!" She yelled, picking up a piece of the broken crate and throwing it at him, hitting him right in the muzzle.

"I'm trying to help you, you stupid kid! Now stop screaming otherwise I'll give you something to scream about!" Goldie growled, his anger getting the better of him, but he instantly regretted it when he saw Connie freeze up slightly before she took off running. "Wait! I didn't mean it... I'm... I'm... sorry."

-Line Break-

Mike waited patiently for the animatronic to come back to him, his heart pounding with worry when he heard Connie screaming. Yet he hadn't heard a gunshot, so he assumed she had gotten away, unless it was Goldie... but he wouldn't hurt her would he? He needed to find Connie and get out of her out of here. Billy too, if he could, but he doubted Billy would be willing to listen to him, but still he had to try. He heard the scrapping of metal above him as he looked up and smiled as the animatronics climbed down to join him. It had flat steel feet that had yet to be painted, blue tights with a funny shaped pink skirt, a lighter blue T-shirt with BB in pink italics on the breast pocket, neither the arms or the face had been finished, but the optics were bright hot pink as was the propeller that was coming out of the head.

"Thanks for getting the lights for me." said Mike patting her on the head. "Now, we had better find Connie and get her out of here before anything else happens."

He held her hand, feeling the cool metal against his skin as he walked down the walkway with her, listening out for anyone coming towards them.

"I don't suppose you saw anyone on the way back to me did you?" Mike asked, looking down at the small animatronic, who shook her head. "Damn, well, we better look and hope for..."

A bullet zoomed right past his nose before he heard the shot, the bullet embedding itself into one of the metal shelves, as he turned his head to see Billy standing a little way off, bloody and dirty with his eyes glaring with sheer hate. Mike took a few steps back, keeping the small animatronic behind him.

"Don't run, I'm not in the mood to play hide and seek." Billy grumbled as he staggered forward. "And bad kids like you really should die, just like my old man said."

Mike frowned "And what would your brother Dell say Billy? He wouldn't be too pleased with you doing this."

Billy stopped moving, lowering the gun slightly "And what the hell do you know about my brother?"

"I know he was in such a deep state of shock after finding out what you did to those kids, the doctor gave him a drug that made him really dizzy and sleepy. He was so upset, disgusted and confused by what you did, he wasn't thinking clearly and..."

"Shut up! You know nothing about him!" Billy snapped holding the gun up again. Mike pushed the small animatronic away from him, down one of the smaller walkways for its own safety.

"And I'll tell you something I do know. It was your pal Goldie that murdered him."

Billy's eyes couldn't have gotten bigger if they tried, veins were popping out of his skin as his face went red with rage. He yelled out as he ran towards Mike slamming into him as he pushed him to the floor. Mike instantly kicked Billy off and scrambled to his feet as Billy tried to do the same, but was having trouble, either to the pain he was in or too blood lost.

"You lying sack of shit! Master... Goldie wouldn't do that... not to ME!" Billy spat as he held on to one of the metal shelves while he was kneeling on the floor.

"Well its the truth. Goldie came clean about it,... after the Ghost of your brother tried to kill him from inside of Springtrap." Mike said solemnly, but Billy just laughed, it was a high near hysterical laugh, that chilled Mike to his bones.

Billy bent over in pain as he spat out some blood from his mouth as he panted for breath.

"Do you really expect me to believe that crap? What next? The kids I killed are haunting the animatronics and they won't rest in peace until I've come to apologise in person?" Billy tone was mocking and dripping with hate as he rose the gun to Mike again.

"Billy, would your brother really want this? Wasn't he disappointed in you enough when you went to jail the first time?" said Mike knowing that speaking about Billy's brother was enough to put Billy off of his aim for him to run.

Billy snarled "That's none of your fucking business."

The bullet went into the metal pole high above Mike's head as Mike ran down one of the wall ways, the small animatronic came running after him.

"I guess reasoning with him is out of the question." Mike muttered ducking down another dark walk way. He stopped to catch his breath as he knelt down in front of the animatronic.

"You ok? That bullet didn't get you did it?"

The small animatronic shook its head and hugged Mike, resting its head against his shoulder, its hard drive buzzing in his ear. There was a small thud to the left of them and the animatronic pulled back and hissed angrily as Goldie started to walk up to them. Mike glared at the bear animatronic as he reached out to the shelf to find something he could use to protect himself.

"So you've come to finish me off? Well, it's two on one, how do you fancy your chances? Or are you working with Billy again?"

Mike saw Goldie flinch at that, but he didn't care, Goldie was a traitor to the others, to Freddy, to his creator Mr. McBear, he should be deceived. Goldie stood still in front of them both, his head bowed, his face was dirty from his oily tears.

"I know I've done some shitty things Schmidt, something's that are unforgivable and I'm... you know... sorry"

"You think saying that will get me to forgive you? You've..." Mike placed his hands over the small animatronics speakers "...fucking tried to kill me twice. And what about Freddy? Do you really think I won't tell him because you're wrong."

Goldie sighed, his shoulder joints lowering "I'll tell him, I'll tell them all the truth, the full truth, Father as well. If they want me gone after that... I'll go. I deserve it. But Schmidt, I need your help now. That girl Connie is still here, frightened and hurt, I need you to find her and get out of here and leave Billy to me."

"What so you can kill him? No way! I'm taking him back to Dell, he deserves to at least see his brother."

"Fine, we'll do it your way! But we need to save Connie first!" Goldie growled and then glared at the still hissing animatronic. "And will you knock that hissing Betty!"

"Betty?" Mike looked confused "I thought she didn't have a name."

"Of course she does, she just wasn't finished and then… well you know what happened,… but Father did name her, he put it on her box 'Bubble Betty'."

"Betty huh? Cool, so Betty fancy helping me and grumpy out." Betty nodded, but still gave Goldie a hard look as if to tell him she was watching him. "Ok Goldie, where did Connie run off too when you last saw her?"

"She ran off, to the far side of the warehouse, she might..."

Another gunshot went off, a young girl screaming came close by as Goldie, Mike and Betty ran towards it, hoping they weren't too late.

-Line Break-

Connie was on her back, staring wide eyed up at Billy, shaking and weeping, as he glared down at her with contempt. In the distance he could hear sirens and his blood boiled. He had no desire to go back to prison; if he let the girl and Mike go, he might be let off with just the rest of his sentence, but considering how things were going tonight he wouldn't count on it.

"Stop your snivelling! Even your brother didn't whine this much."

"Was that before or after you stuffed him in the suit!" Connie snapped and got slapped across her face with the back of Billy's hand.

"Your brother was a bad kid, rotten to the very core and believe it or not I really did think I was saving him when I put him in that suit. The Master said it would make him into a good kid and I believed him. Maybe he died because he simply couldn't be saved? He was simply that bad ever thought of that?" said Billy as he knelt down closer to her, placing the barrel of the gun against her head.

"You're crazy." she whimpered, closing her eyes tightly as she prayed for her nightmare to end.

Billy went to pull the trigger as Mike skidded around the corner and leapt on top of him. They started to roll around on the floor, both fighting for the gun, when Billy kneed Mike in the groin and then kicked him in the stomach to push him off. What happened next seemed to happen in slow motion. There was a loud bang and the sound of shouting and stomping feet as Billy knelt up and aimed for Connie, who had been too scared to move, and shot the last two bullets at her. Connie saw the smoke from his gun as he shot, but instead of feeling the unbelievable pain of being shot, she felt a warm, furry heavy body fall on top of her. She smelt smoke and something thick and wet, dripping on her face as she looked at the still face of Goldie.

"MASTER!"

Billy screamed as he looked at Goldie's body draped over Connie's like a shield, sparks flying from his head as the bullets had gone straight through his hard drive. Billy sobbed uncontrollably as he looked at his only friend who he had worshiped and adored, dead by his hands. Betty rushed over to help Mike up squeaking loudly in distress as she pointed to Goldie. Mike groaned loudly as he got up and stumbled towards Goldie and Connie, pulling the bear animatronic to the floor and started to apply pressure to the leaking oil pipe.

"Stay with me Goldie." Mike muttered, trying to mop up the oil with his shirt "You're not fucking getting out this that easily! I'm going to kick your ass and then watch Freddy do the same!"

"YOU! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Billy snapped as he stood up and pointed the gun at Mike's head as armed police ran up to them, their guns aimed at Billy's chest.

"Drop your weapon! Drop it now or we'll shoot!" one of the cops shouted as he aimed.

"NO! Don't hurt him!" Mike exclaimed, pulling Betty close to him in case she got hurt in the cross hairs.

Billy looked at Mike, a crazed smile appearing on his face as he rose the gun up again, his finger on the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

-Line Break-

~1 month later~

Mike walked down the hospital halls, carrying a bouquet of flowers as well as a stuffed teddy version of Goldie. He stopped outside a door where a guard was standing and flashed his id card. The guard looked it over and then looked at his list of people who he was allowed to let in and nodded.

"Go in, she's been expecting you, but keep it short."

Mike nodded and politely knocked on the door before entering the private room. It was pretty bare and boring with its four white walls, a single chair a small bed side cabinet and a large bed with a drip. Connie was sitting up, her hair washed and pinned up nicely, her cracked lips were on the mend and she had some color coming back to her pale skin. She was also handcuffed to the bed.

"Hey Connie, you're looking good, how have things been going?" Mike asked as he came up to the bed. Connie smiled up at him, a light tint in her cheeks, as she took the flowers off of him.

"Thanks. The police haven't visited in a while, I think the lawyer you told my family about got them off of my case, I've been told the court hearing will be held soon though."

"Yeah, just got my letter for it to appear as a witness, but that wasn't what I meant, How have you been Connie?"

"You mean beside the bumps and bruises? Actually, I feel fine, better than I have in a long time really. It's strange, since that night, I haven't heard my brother's voice in my head, I've had full nights of sleep with no nightmares, I don't even feel angry or even bitter anymore..." Connie blushed as she looked up at Mike "And I think that is down to you."

"Me?"

"Yeah,… that night... all I wanted to do was kill you, because killing you would somehow get rid of the pizzeria. I was really out of it,… but you talked to me, tried to help me. Then you helped Golden Freddy save my life from,… and then after that, making sure I was taken care of by the police and the paramedics, talking to my parents and then getting me a really top class lawyer. I thought you were this horrible person, but you're actually the sweetest guy I have ever met. I watched how you looked after that other robot that was there and how you tended to Goldie... you really do love them, just like I use to... and when I realized that... all my hate just disappeared, does that make sense?"

"Kind of. Though I'll have you know that lawyer didn't come cheap, I now have to go to every family event that my parents want me to go to, I have to wear..." Mike cringed "a suit."

Connie burst out laughing and Mike joined in before he handed her the golden bear plush.

"I know your bear got taken as evidence and it meant a lot to you... so I thought... if you don't like it I can change it..."

Connie took the plush and smiled as she hugged it tightly. "No, he's wonderful, just like the bear he represents. How's he doing? Did you fix him?"

"Well... kind of. His hard drive and memory was badly damaged and because he wouldn't let me back up his files, a lot of his memory has been lost. As far as he was concerned when he came back online, the pizzeria had just opened with him, Springtrap and the band. Even Foxy hadn't been fully made at that point. So he was really shocked when he saw all the other animatronics and how old Mr. McBear had gotten."

"So... he doesn't remember me? Or what happened?"

"Nope, we've filled him in as best we can and Freddy has shared some of his memories with him, but it's not the same." said Mike while thinking "He's still a pervert though, that hasn't changed if anything Goldie thinking he was younger had a much higher libido, that left poor Freddy with a few buckled joints."

"And the other one... the one that dropped the crates on me?"

"Betty? She's finally been finished and has a voice box of her own. The kids adore her and BB is being a very protective big brother."

"Maybe when this is all over, I can come and visit them, I would like to thank them in person." said Connie, not really giving a time as it was still uncertain if she would be facing any jail time for her actions.

"You'll have to make two trips then as Betty, and some of the toys and Foxy are all going to a new store on the other side of town."

"What?"

Mike went into detail about how Foxy and his crew had been such a big hit with kids and their birthday parties, that Thomas (after long talks with the animatronics had agreed to build a new pizzeria with a pirate theme with Foxy as the star attraction.

"But on holidays and certain weekends, the band and the pirates will get together at the old pizzeria and have their battle of the stage, since it was such a big hit."

"But what about Goldie? Is he coming back to the stage?"

Mike shook his head "Goldie likes the idea of staying back stage and making sure no kids get lost back there. Though Springtrap is trying to talk him into a double act for just them."

"Sounds great,… maybe you could e-mail me or... call me sometime... you don't have too but..."

"I was kinda hoping you would ask." said Mike as he handed her a card with his mobile and email address. "You can text, call or email me any time you want Connie."

Connie took the card and held it close to her chest along with her new bear, when the guard came in and tapped on his watch. Mike tried not to roll his eyes as he gave Connie an apologetic smile.

"I got to go now Connie, but I'll defiantly come and see you again, maybe I'll be able to bring Shadow with me, I'm sure you'll like him."

"I'd like that." said Connie, who reached out and grabbed Mike's hand before he could walk away. "And Mike... thank you... for everything."

"Just glad I could help. See you later Connie."

Mike left the hospital and sighed heavily. He had really smudged the truth with Connie, but he didn't wish to upset her, she had enough on her plate without hearing the whole story. That night, after Billy was shot to death by the police, he and Connie were taken to the hospital, but not before dropping off Betty at the pizzeria and telling them what had happened. Freddy's optics shattered as he fell to his knee joints, Foxy holding him tightly while Blu comforted Fred. The worst had been Dell inside Springtrap's body, who let out a scream so hysterical that the police came running in to make sure Mike was alright. Once Mike was at the hospital being checked over, the police started their questions, why was he there? Was it all Billy's doing? Who the girl was? Mike answered their questions as best he could, but he demanded to know what they were planning to do about Goldie. The policeman stated that once the bullets and his memory had been checked, Goldie would be given back, but might be called in again for evidence for the trail. Once the police had gone, Mike rang Thomas McBear and told him EVERYTHING, from what Billy had told him to what Goldie had done. Thomas told him not to worry about anything and that he would sort out the animatronics with his father first thing in the morning as it was also likely that he would have to prepare a statement about it as well, considering the pizzeria's history with the killer and the victim.

Once Mike had finished talking to Tom, he passed out on the bed, still clutching his mobile. He woke the next morning to be told he would have to stay in for a few days due to his head being hit so soon after his last accident that the doctors wanted to make sure there was no damage. And just when he thought his day couldn't get any better, his parents turned up, his mom in tears and his father was furious. He let them rant and rave for a while, just nodded his head or shaking it when he thought it was right, before asking them if they would help Connie as well. At first they said no, then said they would if he agreed to leave his job, of course, that led to a very hostile argument that caused the hospital security to come in. After a few more nasty comments between them, his father agreed to help Connie on the condition that Mike attended all the high society functions that he and his mother attended or held. Just thinking about those long and boring parties made his stomach twist but he agreed.

"Mike, why are you so determined to help this girl? From the police reports she was the one that kidnapped you in the first place." his mom asked in a frustrated voice.

Mike felt the knot in his stomach twist painfully "Because if it wasn't for me... she would have started healing months ago."

Thomas and Mr. McBear picked him up a few days later and took him straight to the pizzeria while filling him in on what had happened. While the media covered the story of "Pizzeria Killer" they had closed down for a day while Tom told the media that the killer had come at night and had fought with the night guard and assured parents that all the new upgrades, cameras, and guards would protect their children. Goldie had also been delivered back along with the news about his memory chip being fried. Once they had fixed Goldie up and replaced his damaged parts, they turned on, their fingers crossed. When Goldie came online, he polity tipped his hat and asked them who they were and if Mr. McBear knew they were here working on him. Mr. McBear tried to be strong, but you could hear it in his voice, how much this had upset him as he and Freddy started to tell Goldie what had happened over the last fifty years and why his memory was gone.

It was... disturbing to see Goldie acting like a love sick teenager rather than his old grumpy self, but as far as the gold bear was concerned Freddy had only been activated for a while and he was still trying to woe the brown bear. Mike really wished he had been in the main hall when Freddy introduced Goldie to their "son" Fred, he bet Goldie's face would be a picture. He asked Springtrap how Dell was doing, only for the gold bunny to shake his head and say that he hadn't spoken or even felt Dell's presence inside of him since that night. Whether that meant Dell had moved on or was simply in grief somewhere deep in Springtrap's subconscious, Mike would have to wait and see, though he hoped that Dell and Billy had been reunited in the next life. Billy had no family left, so only he, Thomas, Mr. McBear and Springtrap (who had been upgraded so he could walk outside) had gone to Dell's grave and placed Billy's ashes there along with some flowers. Mike wanted to hate Billy and Goldie for all they had done and a part of him did, but another part felt so sorry for Billy; his childhood full of abuse that twisted his mind into the monster he became. As for Goldie, he had no knowledge of what he had done, so Mike decided to keep what he had learnt to himself, to spare Freddy anymore pain, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to watch the gold bear like a hawk, Goldie may have forgotten his past, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to repeat it.

Life kind of went back to a sort of normalcy for a while until Thomas spoke to him and the animatronics about building another restaurant. After a lot of debating and voting, it was decided that Foxy, Mangle, Net, BB, Betty, Chi and Fred would go to the new building while Blu and Springtrap would stay with Goldie and the band. Jeremy would be given a chance to take the first aid course as well, then he and Mike could alternate between the two pizzerias, although Mike would be the only one to deal with the animatronics. So until the new building was built, the animatronics continued to entertain children while at night, Foxy and his "crew" talked about what they wanted to do in their new building and what roles they would play. Shadow asked if he could be excused from the crew for a while as he had to stick close to "daddy Mike" to protect him from any bad people, much to Mike's embarrassment. Shadow had become awfully clingy and was starting to have nightmares, caused from his memory chip replaying his hospital visits and seeing Mike bandaged up and on a drip, now he hardly left Mike's side, to the point he would even stand by the bathroom door and wait for him. Mike could only hope that Shadow would come around once he saw he was ok, maybe he would be better once he had built Shadow Freddy, at least then he would have a friend about his age and size. He was sitting in his kitchen reading about "the biter" least kill when his mobile buzzed noisily. He flipped it opened and groaned when he read the message.

"I have a big surprise being built as we speak for your visit in October. I'm sure you're going to love it."

It was from Dahl.
