Chapter Twenty-One: Things Begin to Fall in Place
"M-Matthew?" Virginia asked slowly as she looked at the marionette. "Y-You sound...exactly...b-but he..."
"Mom?" Mike asked slowly, holding onto his mother, trying to keep her steady. Virginia looked at her son and smiled comfortingly, letting him know she was ok, before she walked over to the marionette.
"You are Matthew...aren't you?" She asked, getting to her knees, to be at the marionette's eye level.
"Yes...it's me..."
"You've gotten a bit taller..." She chuckled as Foxy poked his head out of the hallway leading to the cove.
"Look Lass I be tryin' to na-" He froze mid-sentence as he saw Virginia. "M-m-Ms. Schmidt?!"
"His voice changed...How...?" Vincent said slowly, looking at Chip, who looked equally perplexed and the two looked at Mike, who shrugged, just as confused as Virginia got to her feet slowly.
"A-Alex? Is that you?" She asked slowly before Foxy quickly hid. She let out a small sigh. "...So that was you when Mike called earlier..." She looked at Matthew who nodded, nervous and embarrassed about seeing his old babysitter.
"Uh...Ms. Schmidt..." Chip started to ask, getting the woman's attention. "What are you talking about?"
"I use to babysit Matthew and Alex for their father Scott...It was before Mikey was born...course the accidents happened and I never saw them again..." Vincent looked surprised and Jeremy looked confused.
"What accidents?" Melody asked innocently and Virginia sighed before looking at Matthew, as if to ask for permission from him.
"Go ahead..." Matthew mumbled. "He wanted Alex to tell them anyways..." Virginia looked confused.
"He? Who's he?" Matthew frowned and looked away. "Matthew... please tell me who he is..." Matthew looked away as Vincent whistled.
"Damn...this place is bigger than I thought...How does one guy guard the whole place?"
"Cameras." Mike and Chip said as Jeremy saw Mangle.
"Wait a minute...is that?" He started to say as he walked to the table. "N-n-No...They were all scrapped though..."
"Guess Mags got lucky...a perk of being so mangled that no bodies could get stuff in I guess..." Jeremy looked at the Balloon Boy sitting at the table looking at Mangle.
"W-What? Bodies?"
"What are you talking about Mr. Fitzgerald?" Chip asked warily as Jeremy winced as the hallucination of Balloon Boy rolled his eyes.
"Where else do you think the guy hid 'em? There's not a lot of boxes, and the ovens barely work anyways." Jeremy held his head as the pain started up. "He took the yellow suit, walked off with the kids, killed 'em,"
"Dude, are you ok?" Vincent asked as Balloon Boy made a hand gun with his fingers and pointed it at Virginia.
"And when she and another guy tried to walk in on the murders, BANG! She dropped first-"
"She was shot?! W-When did that happen?" Balloon Boy laughed.
"When you were on your day shift, duh."
"Jeremy?!" Virginia asked as Jeremy shook his head.
"But I was working, I would've heard that!"
"Well, you did...and the guy barely managed to get to the party before he dropped...but that didn't matter;"
"What do you mean!?"
"Well, the owner wanted to check on the guy, but..."
"But WHAT!?"
"What's going on?!" Melody exclaimed as she held onto her brother.
"I don't know..." Mike whispered.
"But Mangle had other plans. She jumped to the ceiling and lunged for the manager-"
"And she bit me instead..." Jeremy said slowly, shell shocked as the faint memories reappeared slowly.
"Bingo-roni~!" Balloon Boy started to laugh as Jeremy blacked out and collasped to the floor.
"Jeremy!" Virginia exclaimed as she rushed to the man and felt his pulse. "Thank God...he's breathing..." She sighed in relief and looked at her children apologetically.
"W-W-What was talking about Momma?" Melody asked slowly, remembering the 'dream' she had earlier. Virginia sighed.
"...Melody...Michael...there are somethings that I wanted to forget..." She sat on a chair near the table and covered her face and let out a long sigh and wiped her face. "You might need to sit..."

Meanwhile
"Alex?" Nate, possessing Bonnie, asked as he stood outside the Pirate's Cove. "You ok man?"
"Go away."
"Dude...we're friends, I'm not leaving." Alex poked his head out of the cove curtains, clearly not amused.
"I need to be alone."
"Because being alone by yourself in here has been a great plan." Was the sarcastic response. "Dude, what happened with that kid in that mini office?" Alex sighed, knowing that Nate was stubborn and wouldn't leave him alone.
"He was in there..." Alex started, wrapping the cove curtains around him, like blanket as Nate sat down across from him. "And apparently he knows that guard...said something about him being his son...but the guard was perplexed by that...and he wanted me...he wanted to tell them why Mat's dead..." Nate was quiet before sighing.
"Ok...you didn't tell him, I guess?"
"No...Mat scared him off..." He snorted. "Well, that little kid tried scaring him off first...she's an idiot...he just laughed...and Mat scared him off..."
"Oh...ok..."
"And now I saw..."
"Saw who?"
"I saw Ms. Schmidt..."
"Oh cool! That's awesome! We haven't seen her in for-Wait...she doesn't know about what happened to us...Oh..." Nate frowned as Alex nodded.
"Yeah...And I mean...Mat'll probably tell her...but..." He sighed sadly.
"Dude...she might be mad...but more disappointed...but she'll be happy to see us again! And besides, she promised us to see her kid when she got out of the hospit-oh..." Nate blinked slowly and trailed off and Alex raised an eyebrow.
"Oh what?"
"I think that guard guy might be her kid...doesn't he have her eyes?" Alex frowned as he thought about that.
"I dunno...I never got too close to him..."
"Let's go check!" Alex blinked and was about to tell him no, but the rabbit grabbed his hook hand. "Come on, this'll be awesome~!"
"I-I'm not sure about that..."
"Pfft, come on, it's not like the people that we might've tried killing or related to those people here as well?"

Famous Last Words, along with the great 'What could go wrong man?' (and 'hold my beer', but considering the ghosts are technically underage (maybe? I dunno..)) XD
So we see the reunion between mother and children, Jeremy finding the truth (with BB helping out of course, and no one else can see his hallucinations), and Nate and Alex having a bonding moment with each other. Virginia will tell what happened eventually and Jeremy will have a proper meeting with his kid, once he wakes up of course XD
