Chapter 10: Awkward Homecoming

Mike was actually looking forward to getting back to the pizzeria; this so called "Vacation" had taken more out of him then a week with the animatronics. He had really missed Shadow! He couldn't wait to give him the gifts he got him. He was going to be so happy, he might blow a circuit, well hopefully he wouldn't, but still. His and Jeremy's last day at the amusement park had been good, but also a little sad. They had personally escorted the "Nightmare" gang around the park with Dahl's permission in small groups, so people could see them, interact with them and of course take pictures. Mike and Jeremy had both been surprised by just how many teens had their pictures taken with the animatronics.

"Those teenagers really enjoyed the "Nightmare" gang, didn't they." said Jeremy as he drove them back.

"Well they can't admit that the cute friend animatronics are cool can they?" said Mike "But super freaky creepy ones, that's fine. You know I think it's sad that the teenagers have nowhere to go like "Freddy's" or "The Cove", they can only hang around the town centre or around take away places even the local park. Maybe we could talk to Thomas about building a pizzeria for teenagers, plus we can buy the nightmare animatronics, they would be the perfect group to host it."

Jeremy was quiet for a moment "Do you think they're going to be ok? I feel like a real jerk about leaving them with no real answers about their future you know?"

Mike sighed remembering the sad frightened looks of the Nightmare animatronics. "Well considering Iger was talking about merchandise for them and considering how well those photos of them have gone on the internet, we can at least be sure that they're not going to be scrapped. Just maybe… put away until next year…"

"Locked up you mean! Which is a major ball of suck!" Jeremy snapped, gripping the wheel tightly. "What about Plush, Fee, Fi and Fum? They're going to be stuffed into box for what? Over a year?"

"I know Jeremy! But there is nothing we can do. They're not the pizzeria animatronics... their Dahl's... and like he says, it's business... that's all it is to him."

Jeremy grumbled under his breath about unfairness and such as Mike sighed as he leaned heavily against his chair. Was he worried about the Nightmare animatronics, yes, could he do anything about it, no. Did he feel guilty as hell about it? Yes; the looks of fear in their faces would no doubt bother his conscious for a long while, but until he actually knew about their fate there really nothing he could do.

"Jeremy... could you do me a small favor and not mention the nightmare animatronics in front of the gang please?"

"Huh… Why?"

Mike sighed "Think about it for a moment. You dragged me to the tattoo parlor to get this tattoo done because the gang were freaking out about me going. Now I want you to picture their reaction when you tell them that I was performing maintenance on a bunch of scary look a likes?"

Jeremy thought about it for a moment and as he did his face went whiter. "Oh boy! You would be in serious trouble. Freddy would personally stuff you into a suit!"

"Followed by you for not doing as you promised and keep me out of trouble." smirked Mike

"It's would certainly put a dent in your chances with Chi huh?"

The car swerved dangerously as Mike laughed at Jeremy's horrified face. "You knew?"

"Dude, anyone with a pair of eyes could tell you have a thing for her." said Mike with a small smile "And it's ok. I know you're a pretty ok guy and that you wouldn't hurt Chi and you guys make a cute couple, too."

"I thought you would be all up in my case about it, you know saying Chi's had enough of humans and stuff and about what happened to her." said Jeremy softly.

"That's true, but Chi deserves to be happy too and if you can do that, I'm not going to stand in your way. Besides it would be bad of me considering the situation I'm in…"

"With Bonnie, right? I never pegged you for being gay, but you know what ever, who you love is your own business. Besides you have a kid together so it's pretty obvious."

"Er, yeah." Mike blushed brightly, although it wasn't fully true, it was close. "Anyway, just so you know, Chica is Chi's sister, so if you hurt Chi in any way, Chica is the first to have a go at breaking your bones with her teeth."

"Dude, seriously!?" said Jeremy in slight disbelief and a nervous laugh.

"Yep, getting stuffed would seem like a walk in the park compared to what they will do to you if Chi is hurt, so consider yourself warned!"

"Got it. No hurting Chi, otherwise I'm dead, got it. So... um... I'm guessing you and Bonnie have been together since you repaired him huh? Been going steady since then?"

"It's... complicated…" said Mike, feeling his cheeks redden, thinking how he could explain his unusual life with the animatronics. "But me and Bonnie are really close…"

"Hey man, don't sweat it. I guess we're both a little odd, but that's ok right? So is there anyone else in the same boat as us? Oh let me guess, the reason why Freddy is really teasing Mark so much IS because he wants Mark as his bitch?"

Jeremy and Mike looked at each other before bursting out laughing at the thought.

-Line Break-

"DADDDDDY!" Shadow cried out as he stood against the window beaming as he watched Mike climbed out of Jeremy's car. Shadow bounced up and down on the chair. "DADDY! DADDY!"

"Calm down little one." said Bonnie happily as he picked Shadow up and brushed down his fur "You're getting yourself too excited and your fur is all puffing out, sigh, and after I spent the most part of this morning getting you ready, too."

"But papa, Daddy's home and he's got presents! Presents!" Shadow wiggled in Bonnie's arms. "I've missed him loads, too, and I need to tell him how much I've learned with Mr. Mark and…"

"I know little one and you can tell him all when he gets in here, but remember to let him say hello to everyone else first ok?"

Shadow cutely pouted as his ears drooped "Ok… But we can be first to say hello, right?"

Bonnie winked as he walked over to the door with Shadow to wait. The lock turned and the door pushed open with Mike struggling to get in with his arms loaded with bags. He dropped them as soon as he got in and held his arms out.

"Hey kiddo, miss meeeeeeee?!" Shadow leapt from Bonnie's arms into Mike's, the shear speed and weight of the small animatronic sent him to the floor.

Shadow clung to Mike's neck tightly, his small bobbed tail wagging at full speed, as he babbled on about how much he missed Mike. Mike gently rubbed his back, enjoying the hug as he took Bonnie's hand who pulled him up to his feet, kissing the small bunny on top of his head.

"So have you been a good bunny for everyone? Drunk all your oil?"

"Yeah, I've been helping Mr. Mark, I'm now fully trained security guard like he is. I got a badge and I know how to work all the cameras." said Shadow proudly.

"Wow, you have been busy, but have you been good for papa though? And has papa been good."

"I've been very good, but I'm not sure about papa though." smiled Shadow cheekily as Bonnie looked acted his shock out and prostate.

"I am always good Shadow! It's Uncle Blu that's naughty!"

"And Uncle Spring, too." said Shadow as he leaned close to Mike's ear to whisper "He's been sneaking away from work."

Mike arched an eyebrow, but thought best to not make too much of it at the moment since he just got back. There will be time to deal with Springtrap and Blu later. He went to reach down to the bags he bought in when Emily stepped in through the door. "Oh, Hey Emily; sorry about the bags, I'll get them out of your way."

Emily looked at Mike for a moment and smiled, before it slowly melted away as a deep red hue filled her cheeks, as she glanced at Shadow and Bonnie. "Mike... um… you um... hi. So... er… later!"

Emily ran towards the staff room leaving behind a bewildered Mike who then frowned and looked at Bonnie firmly. "Has Blu done something to upset Emily again?"

Bonnie looked nervous and twiddled his fingers. "You might want to talk to Chica before you talk to Emily Mike. Just to get a heads up."

Before Mike could ask, the rest of the gang turned up, all happy smiles and greetings as they hugged their human, welcoming him back.

"Been quiet without you kid, the little bit has missed ya something fierce, I trust you're ready for him to be clingy." Said Goldie as he came in carrying Sooty in his arm. "And their better be presents in there for me… I mean us, US!"

Goldie covered his hat as Freddy raised his servo to slap him over the head, making everyone laugh as Mike slowly started to hand out his gifts. While he handed them out, other members of the human staff turned up, smiling and saying hello to Mike before getting to work in the kitchen. Mark turned up and hugged Mike tightly as he thumped him on the back.

"Hey Bro! Damn I've missed you, these double shifts were hell, thank god for Shadow and Sooty otherwise I'd be in big dodoo." Said Mark as he high fived the two small animatronics.

"Don't know why you're complaining, you slept most nights anyway; we often had to wipe your drool off of the desk." smirked Goldie as he looked over the cup Mike gave him that read "Top Bear" on it.

"Only because you guys drugged me!" Mark snapped "And that wasn't even the worst part! They took it upon themselves to draw all over me! Then they gave me this cupcake, but it was disgusting!"

Chica laughed but shook her head "It was an honest mistake, I accidentally gave you the one that Emily and Betty had made with salt, it could have happened to anybody."

Even Mike could tell Chica was lying, but was too busy trying not to laugh at Mark and the really funny face he was pulling as he lit up with anger. Before Mark could start his rant, Mario came from the kitchen looking worried as he approached Freddy and Mike.

"Have any of you seen the manger? he asked, his tone concerned.

"No sorry." most of the animatronics said as they shook their heads.

"Haven't seen that waste of space since yesterday evening, watched him leave the store and lock up before he left." said Goldie before he turned to Mark. "Did you see him on your way in?"

"No, didn't see anybody last night, maybe he just slept in or something or just running late?" said Mark as he rubbed his neck, feeling a little concerned as he looked at his watch. "It is getting pretty late though… we're going to be open in an hour."

"And he still hasn't called in?" Freddy frowned as he looked at everyone and then said to Mario "You can run the kitchen on your own right? Do you think you would also be able to help with the orders as well?"

"Yes Sir" said Mario as he gave a smart salute and quickly went back to the kitchen.

"Mike I know you have only just got back and all, but we could use your help with the cover should David not turn up at all."

"Not a problem Freddy, let me get cleaned up in the employee's room first, then I'll be out." said Mike as he gathered up his bags and handed them to Bonnie "Would you mind putting these in my office for me?"

"Goldie, Mark, Springtrap, start calling around, check the cameras and find out what happened to David, if he is skiving off I will personally stuff him into a suit myself! Everyone else get ready for the day, let's hope it's going to be an easy one." said Freddy as everyone went about their jobs.

Bonnie rushed to Mike's office, but instead of just dropping the bags off as asked, Bonnie quickly went through them to grab Mike's wash bag and towel, but to also pick up some lube for himself. He had to be quick as no doubt, Blu or even Fred were already making their move to corner Mike in the shower, but he was going to get there first and he would be prepared as well. He quickly rushed though the main piazza floor trying not to make eye contact with Freddy, who would most likely stop him for a job or three, and was down the hall to the employee bathroom where he could hear Mike humming.

"Here Mike, I've bought your wash bag and towel for you, thought you would need them." said Bonnie happily as he placed the items down on the side of the small sink.

Mike gave the bunny a bright smile "Thanks Bonnie, didn't really think about needing them, before I started to strip. You're a lifesaver."

Bonnie felt his pump flutter as his wires started to heat up when his ears twitched at the sound of an oncoming animatronic as Mike got into the shower. He quickly turned to the door and peeked out to see Blu on his way down. Bonnie quickly shut the door and locked it; as much as he loved his brother, he just wasn't in the mood for sharing right now. The door rattled for a moment and a slight curse was muttered before Blu's heavy footsteps went away.

"Hey Bonnie? Can you pass me the shampoo?" Mike asked. Bonnie picked up the bottle and then looked over at Mike, his optics gazing over Mike's wet naked body and committing it to his long term memory. It was probably a bad idea, who knows what it would do to his circuits, but he was overdue for a wash and the idea of making love to Mike under the shower head was simply too inviting. He stepped into the small space behind Mike, feeling the warm water underneath his feet, as it started to soak into his fur, as he leaned against Mike's body. Mike gasped as he felt the wet fur against his back as he quickly turned around to see Bonnie towering over him and pushing him against the wall.

"Bon…eahh." Mike's words were lost as Bonnie pressed his muzzle against his mouth, pushing his thick synthetic tongue against in, as it traced the insides of his mouth. Mike moaned as Bonnie pressed a little harder against him, his wet fur tickling his skin, his cock starting to twitch with excitement. He pulled his head back slightly and gave a shaky laugh.

"You missed me?"

"More than you know" Bonnie said softly, his small black nose rubbing up against Mike's.

"I got to admit… I did miss this place a bit… and you, too." Mike place a small soft kiss on Bonnie's nose, feeling his face go red and not due to the hot water.

Bonnie voice box purred loudly, his own cock slipping from its hiding place as he grained it against Mike's making him groan. Mike wrapped his arms around Bonnie's shoulders as the large purple bunny lowered his head to kiss Mike over his face, neck and shoulders as the warm water soaked his fur. Mike tilted his head to give Bonnie better access to his neck as he lifted his leg slightly to wrap it around Bonnie's to drew him closer.

"Better make this quick big guy. I don't know what will happen to you if you stay under this water for much longer…" Mike breathed heavily, the warm water felt cold against his heated skin, his long brown hair clinging to his heart shaped face, his eyes dark and begging.

Bonnie's systems almost overloaded at the image, as he used his arms to lift Mike's legs up so he could wrapped them around his waist so he could use his servos to prepare him. He reached for the lube and coated his long fingers, feeling the smooth liquid in his joints, and then slowly pressed them between Mike's butt cheeks to his puckered entrance. Mike couldn't help but wince as Bonnie's large finger pushed itself into him, stretching his tight rear in search of his prostate.

"You've become a lot tighter Mike, this week off has been bad for you, we're going to have to make love to you every day and night to get you back to being lose again." Bonnie chuckled as he pushed another finger in.

"I don't think I'll ever be use to this." Mike muttered through his gritted teeth.

"You may complain a lot about it, but you have never fully said no." said Bonnie scissoring his fingers to help stretch Mike enough for his cock.

"Shut up." Mike hissed as pain of Bonnie's pushing his third finger in, stretching him to his limit. "Besides you guys don't understand the meaning of the word no! Especially if I say it."

"We only ignore you then, because we already know how much you really want it." said Bonnie as he removed his fingers and pressed his face against Mike's his crimson optics staring into his eyes. "But do you really think we would do that if it was truly against your will?"

Mike bit his lip and gave a small shake of his head, even if he was against it at first, he hadn't told them to stop it. Boonie gently kissed Mike on the lips, pressing his forehead against Mike's as he sighed.

"I love you Mike, I really do, I just wished you could believe that." Bonnie muttered as he used his servos to pull Mike's butt cheeks apart and lined up his cock to Mike's entrance. Mike shook against Bonnie, as the large bunny cooed in his ear, one servo still caressing his leg the other teasing his erect nipples. "Relax love, otherwise this will hurt and that is the last thing I want."

Mike nodded, as he sighed deeply as he relaxed his muscles, pressing his face into Bonnie's shoulder fur. Gently but oh so slowly did Bonnie lower Mike on to his erect organ. Mike's body gave way but still hugged his cock tightly as he pushed in, making Bonnie grunt slightly in pain as he went deeper. Suddenly Mike arched his back and cried out as his prostate was firmly pressed against, his fists clenching Bonnie's fur.

"Did you like that? Do you want more?" Bonnie chuckled as he licked the hollow of Mike's throat.

"Don't tease! Otherwise I'll rewire you to fart every time you play your guitar." Mike muttered darkly as he tried to get Bonnie's cock to hit his prostate again.

Bonnie nipped Mike's shoulder and slapped one of his rear cheeks "Don't be mean love, all you have to do is tell me how much you need me right now and I'll give you what you want."

Mike bit his lip and groaned still wiggling on top of Bonnie's cock "Bonnie… come on…"

"Not till I hear the words."

Sighing in defeat, Mike pecked Bonnie on the muzzle "Please Bonnie…"

"Yes Mike?" smirked Bonnie using his finger to circle Mike's belly button.

"Bonnie… come on… please! You want this just as much!"

"True! But I can always pull out and…" said Bonnie as he moved slightly as if to withdraw, but Mike quickly wrapped himself around Bonnie tightly and clenched his muscles making Bonnie wince, but laugh at the same time "Or you can tell me what you want. Best make it quick before Freddy comes back here to find out what is taking you so long."

"Damn it Bonnie… will you just fuck me senseless already?" Mike snapped as he glared at the giant rabbit.

Bonnie couldn't help but smirk, Mike was so cute when he was needy and to add the wet look to it just made him adorable and incredible sexy. Gripping Mike's hips tightly he started to thrust upwards, hitting his mark again and again, as Mark cried and moaned as he bounced on his cock. The water was running stone cold now, but neither seemed to noticed as both their bodies were overheating, Mike's blood rushing to his groin while Bonnie's systems were in overdrive.

"Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, BBonnnNIE." Mike kept repeating his name into his ear as the springs in his legs were being pulled to their limit as he rode Mike into the shower wall.

Warning lights were flashing violent behind his red eyes, one actually worried him as he reached around Mike to turn the shower off before he got any wetter, he was well used to the others even enjoyed the thrill of his pressure gage raising.

"Bonnie... you... touch…" Mike moaned as he raised cock flopped up and down, as if begging for release and Bonnie was happy to do so.

Taking a firm hold of Mike's dick, gently caressing the weeping head, he began to pump it in time with his thrusts. Mike was trying to keep control of his thoughts but it saw near impossible for all the feelings he was feeling. His conversation with Jeremy was ringing in his ears and he felt guilty. Bonnie had clearly acclaimed he loved Mike with all his pump, yes the others had done so as well, but none as vocally as Bonnie who had supported, protected, worried for him without asking much in return and knew he was having it off with the other members of his family. He always said that Bonnie was his favorite and technically they did have a son together, be it in a very odd way. He did love Bonnie, but if he was fully in love with him as Jeremy was for Chi. And what would the others think? Would they turn on Bonnie if he told them he was now going out with Bonnie only? Because that would be the case as he refused to sleep around if he was in a full relationship. He tried to think of more ways of sorting out his situation when Bonnie thrusted hard and a overwhelm pleasure spasmed through his body, causing all thoughts to leave him.

"Bon… Bonnie… I'm close... real close…" he panted as he rubbed his face against Bonnie's wet fur.

"Close... close too… pressure is at its limit… going too." Bonnie cried out as his fluids shot out of him like thick bullets, flowing deep into Mike's butt until it dripped back down the passage and coated the inside of his cheeks. Mike gave a deep low moan as he cummed over Bonnie's torso fur, it barely sticking to him due to how wet it was. He went limp in the large bunny's arms, resting his head against his furry shoulder, as he panted for breath.

"So much for getting clean." he muttered.

-Line Break-

Mark slowly wound back the video feeds from last night and watched David's movements, with Goldie and Spring looking over his shoulders. He watched carefully as David went about locking the pizzeria up before going towards his car and that was where the footage ended.

"This is really bad." he muttered to himself as he rewound the feed from the car park.

"What do you mean?" Goldie asked leaning in closer, Mark trying not to squirm at being too close to the creepy looking bear.

"Well other than the fact that the manager deliberately parked in the one space that is blindsided by the cameras, there are no signs of anyone else being around the car park at the same time, which means one of two things... the manger is still here in his car or…"

"His attacker knew where the cameras where and how to get around them to get to him." Said Spring in a creepy voice before he blinked and giggled nervously when he saw Mark's frightened face "Sorry."

Mark swallowed as he got up "Well... um... we best check that his car is still here then. He's probably fallen asleep at the wheel or something."

"We'll go with you." said Goldie as he straightened his hat "You might need help if you find his body."

"Ok, you can come with me, just stop saying that creepy freaky stuff." said Mark as he started down the back corridor to the exit. Goldie arched his eyebrow and looked over at Springtrap, meeting his optic and both sharing a wicked smile.

"All I'm saying is that if there is any blood there, I won't be much help, I'm a delicate piece of machine. Plus it's a bitch to get out of fur."

"Yeah and when blood splatters everywhere it always get into those hard to reach places like all up the wall." add Springtrap innocently as they followed Mark towards the exit. "I hope he's in one piece, I'd hate to have to look for any of his parts, I wouldn't know where they go."

"As long as there is no bones anywhere, they're a pain to sweep up, I remember this one guard…"

"Hey! I've got an idea." said Mark as he turned around to face them just in front of the door. "Why don't you guys go on ahead and look while I go through the tapes again, in case I've missed something."

Goldie smirked "What's the matter Mark? Scared?"

"Nnn… No! Of Course not! I'm braver than any of you lot and more so!" said Mark as he opened the door "After you two."

Goldie rolled his optics as Springtrap giggled "Gee, thanks Mr. Brave."

Both Goldie and Springtrap took a moment to adjust their optics to the bright light of the sun as they felt the harsh gravel under their feet.

"I love coming outside." said Spring as he looked around "The colors are always so pretty."

"Yeah, there's nothing like the midday sounds of traffic and the smell of pollution." grumbled Goldie "Give me the smell of stale pizza any day."

Mark walked around the small corner and saw David's car and sighed happily "Hey guys, he's in the car, just like I told you... sleeping! Best go wake him up."

Neither Goldie nor Spring followed him then, as both their noses twitched and their eyes darkened to black. Mark hummed a little tune as he opened the car door and smiled brightly at the man hunched over his wheel.

"Hey, rise and shine sleeping beauty, you are seriously late for…" Mark's words died in his throat as he pulled David's body back from the wheel only to see it and him covered in blood. Half of his head seemed to have caved in on one side and his eye was hung from its socket by its veins. His throat had either been cut or ripped out as blood had pumped from that wound covering David's work clothes. Half of his ears and fingers were missing too.

Mark stumbled back and slammed the door shut as he looked at Spring and Golie.

"He's... you know... he's…" he muttered before his eyes crossed and he fell to the floor in a deep faint and a sharp thud. Spring tilted his head to one side as he looked at the guard.

"Think he's dead too?"

"I hope not! Freddy will be really pissed if I broke another one of his toys. Come on, let's grab his legs and drag his sorry ass back into the store, we've got enough on our plates without adding a passed out guard to the mix."

-Line Break-

Freddy got his wish of having a quiet day, but as they say "Be careful what you wish for." The police surrounded the pizzeria and ordered them to close for the day. There was at least a dozen or more surrounding the place as they took fingerprints, statements, and even David's body and car away. Thomas McBear had come as soon as he heard and was now with the police going over several details as well as David's not so great history with the pizzeria. Springtrap was by his side the whole time, his servo on his arm or holding on to his jacket between his fingers, silently giving his support.

"So you're saying the only ones that had any really problems with deceased are actually the animatronics?" said one of the police in disbelief.

"The animatronics have the most motive, yes." said Thomas with a slight smile "Ss ridiculous as it sounds. David was a poor manager, he cooked the books and treated everyone beneath him like shit, but none of that was enough to murder him in such a brutal way."

Another office came in as he removed his gloves "It's "The Biter" I'm sure of it, the bite marks are the same as on the other victims as well as his signature kill of ripping out the throat."

"But this is really different from his normal M.O" said the first cop as he rubbed his head

"Usually we don't find a body for at least a couple of days and they usually have that thing in common… though I guess this is a kids place…"

"May I ask what you are on about?" Thomas asked straightening up a little as Spring leaned in as well after hear that children were involved. The cops looked at each other before the first one cleared his throat.

"You must understand what I'm about to tell you is confidential" Thomas and Spring nodded their heads. "As far as the media is concerned "The Biter" doesn't have a pattern or a motive. But that is a lie, all of his victims had two things in common, they were all parents and they were all really bad at it. Some of them are even known to us as abusers."

"So the killer is punishing… killing them because of what they did to their children?" Thomas said in confusion. "But what has that got to do with David?"

"Well this is a place for kids right? Could he have done something to one of them?" the cop asked. Spring went to leap forward, as he growled and gnashed his teeth, but Thomas grabbed him before he could get to the cop.

"No Spring! Bad Bunny!" Thomas snapped as he bobbed Springtrap on his nose before smiling at the frightened cop "Sorry about that, but as you can see, our animatronics would never allow an adult to harm a child within these walls."

"Er...right...um….if you think of anything that might help us please give us a call" said the cop as he held out his card. "Oh and before I forget... do you remember Officer Chase?"

"Yes...he was the leading officer on the case of the five murdered children" said Thomas, his voice holding suspicion "Why?"

"He asked me to give you some forms. You might remember we took some of your stuff a evidence including the animals bodies that the kids were stuff in too? Well the holding time on those items is up so we need you to fill in those forms to get your stuff back or pay us a small fee to destroy it."

Thomas took the foams and looked them over, the seemed legit enough, he would have to speak to his father first before agreeing as this was before his time as CEO after all and the animatronics were his property. "Thank you, you can leave it with me, now are there anymore questions?"

"No, we've got what we need for now, but if we need any more we will let you know." said the cop as he and the others quickly left.

Thomas let out a deep sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. Spring leant forward and wrapped his arms around Thomas's waist and rubbed his head against his chest. Thomas gave a small chuckle as he hugged the gold rabbit back.

"Are they going to shut us down again? Are we going to have to move in with Foxy?"

"No, you silly bunny." laughed Thomas "It's a one off... probably got the wrong guy or David was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... or whatever. It's a horrible way to go, but I can honestly say I won't miss the guy."

"Me neither, he smelled like old socks." said Spring with a small smile. "Since you're here, can you spend some time with me? I haven't seen you in forever!"

Thomas sighed as he looked down at his watch "Well I do have a meeting and…"

Thomas heard a loud sniff as he looked down at Spring and felt his throat tighten as he saw big thick oily tears ready to fall down Spring's muzzle. "You know what... screw work... I need a day off. Let's watch a movie together or play on some of the arcade games."

Spring cheered loudly as he started to drag Thomas out of the room to play, the older man smiling gently as he willingly allowed himself to be pulled.

From up in the air vent, Goldie let out a deep growl as he quickly crawled through the maze of metal tunnels until he was back in his room. He was worried, really worried, but not about the pizzeria, nor about David. That man was a jackass and got what he deserved if not more. No, it was something else, something buzzing deep from within his memory, something that he, Freddy, and one other had shared, something important. He walked over to his desk and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello! This is Goldie… Goldie! Golden Freddy? From the other store? NEVERMIND! Look, just put me on with the marionette please?" Goldie drummed his fingers against his desk as he waited for Net to pick up the phone "Net? It's me Goldie. We might have a serious problem on our hands."
