Freddy looked around the Fredbear room and sighed, it was as empty as usual. Part of the restored bear had figured that maybe Bonnie would have gone behind his back and recreate Fredbear and place him in the room to honor the bear. Somehow though, Freddy was sure the rabbit had managed to do just that, but hid it better from him. Hearing a faint groan of the stage he turned around and noticed that there was a model of the first animatronic that started their lives.

"Bonnie, I am so going to kill you for this" Freddy groaned and looked at Fredbear.

Freddy was actually rather impressed with how well Bonnie had managed to recreate their fallen friend. What had him really impressed was that his friend had managed to bring Fredbear up to date with them. Though his original form was no more, Freddy had found himself liking the one Bonnie had created. Fredbear looked a lot like the restored models, but like the previous versions had teeth on his lower and upper jaw. Freddy was quite blown away that he was about ready to abandon his anger at Bonnie for even managing to pull something like this off, however there was no way he could have done it alone.

"The toys…..they helped him….I should have known" Freddy groaned and held his head, "Why can't they just let things be."

"Because you can't get your head out of your rear to see what's going on" Toy Freddy spoke from the doorway.

Freddy turned and noticed both Toy Freddy and Gold standing in the door looking at him. Their expression was a mix of grief, annoyance, and partially anger. They stepped into the room and looked around taking in the sights. Freddy couldn't even face them, Toy Freddy was like a little brother to him, and Golden was much like an older brother who always had his back. Before either bear could speak they heard the faint sound of 'pop goes the weasel' and noticed Mari had managed to sneak in and sit on the counter.

The puppet looked at the three bears and shook their head, "Honestly Freddy, you need to come to terms with things. Your grief is hurting those you hold closest to you. You've been so caught up in your grief that you failed to realize just what everyone has done for you."

"What do you mean?" Freddy asked not understanding.

Gold sighed, "You mean to tell me you haven't noticed Bonnie's limp? Chica's arm locking up? Foxy's jaw hanging like it used to before it was fixed?"

That's what it hit Freddy, his friends had sacrificed parts of their own bodies to rebuild Fredbear. He had noticed that Bonnie had a bit of a limp, meaning he probably gave up one of his leg joints. Chica's one arm was locking up constantly, meaning she probably parted with a good servo. As Freddy started to come to terms with what his friends had done he collapsed to the floor, moved by their kindness and haunted by his own stubbornness. Gold and Fred quickly caught their collapsed friend and placed him next to Fredbear. The golden bear turned towards the one that started it all, "Please, talk some sense into him. He's a good leader he really is, but he's hardheaded and stubborn."

Mari placed a hand on Gold's shoulder, "Let's go out in the other room. Toy Freddy are you coming?"

The toy bear nodded and followed the golden bear and puppet back to the main room and party. Though Freddy's mood had some effect, everyone was still in good spirits when it came to celebrating the first activation of both Freddy and Bonnie. Some would even say that the rabbit broke from his usual character and enjoyed being at the center of attention for once. Though deep down he was deeply concerned for his friend, was Freddy really going to be alright in the end? That was something everyone was wondering deep down.

Meanwhile in the Fredbear room Freddy continued to rest and try to confront his grief and sorrow about the loss he had endured, and the losses the others incurred on his behalf. As he remained in his sleep mode he heard the faint sound of children laughing and playing. There was a voice that stood out the most though, and it was one he had longed to hear again.

"Time for cake!" Fredbear's voice echoed.

Freddy could hear the voices of the children cheering and laughing. It was a wonderful sound to hear, especially for children who had gone through so much. As he listened he noticed a piece in front of him as well. Looking up he came face to face with Fredbear who wore a concerned look. The yellow bear sighed softly, "Freddy, what are you doing here?"

"Here? Where am I?" Freddy asked looking around, "I was in your room last I knew!"

Fredbear rubbed his chin, "I see, this must be Mari's doing then. Sometimes I think they have no patience or sense of humor."

"They're perfect for Gold then" Freddy muttered and looked around, "It seems so peaceful here."

"That's because it is" Fredbear shrugged and allowed Freddy to join the children as they enjoyed their cake.

"Hi Freddy!" the child who formerly haunted him smiled, "Why are you here?"

"I think my friends are trying to teach me a lesson" Freddy sighed, "I haven't been grieving well."

Another child seemed to join the conversation, "That's normal though, you were close after all."

The others nodded in agreement, but that didn't help Freddy lift his mood any. Instead he made a mental note to give Mari a piece of his mind for what they had done. Fredbear seemed to know what the brown bear was thinking and shook his head, "Mari didn't do it. I did."

"Wait, why?" Freddy looked at Fredbear rather confused.

Fredbear sighed, "I'm not obvious to the fact you do not grieve well. I remember the night Bonnie had been destroyed by myself and Spring Bonnie. You shut yourself off, and quite frankly you became an asshole."

"Ah profanity!" another voice spoke which sounded very much like Freddy himself.

Freddy turned and noticed that the manifestations of the children's anger had changed, and looked just as he and the others did so many years ago. Instantly the children gathered around the older looking bots and began to play with them. Fredbear sat next to Freddy and watched as the children played including the bite victim with another version of himself, "Well now that they're here I can finally move on."

"What do you mean?" Freddy asked.

Fredbear sighed and looked up at the sky, "There is somewhere that needs me more than anything right now. Since the children are now taken care of and at peace, it's time for me to move on. As do you Freddy, your friends are hurting after all."

"My friends….I don't even deserve friends like them….Especially Bonnie when he restored your body the first thing I felt was anger. That rabbit would do anything to see me happy again, even if it meant his own demise most likely." Freddy admitted looking down at his hands, "I've taken him and everyone else for granted haven't I?"

"To a degree, yes." Fredbear spoke and then chuckled slightly, "But they all love you regardless of your faults. Now then I do believe you have a party to get back to correct?"

Freddy jolted, "The birthday party, I totally blew it off! I need to get back. How do I-"

Before Freddy could finish his sentence he jolted from his sleep mode and looked around, it was only 4 AM, there was still time to try and make amends. As the restored bear rushed out of the room two blue eyes followed his movements. The yellow bear tried to stifle a laugh and quietly left the room to watch what would happen. He was curious to see what Freddy would do with his odd sense of urgency.

"Bonnie, Chica, Foxy!" Freddy called as he rushed down the hall to the main room.

Before anyone could answer Freddy quickly pulled Chica into a hug and spun her around the room. Chica let out a small shriek of shock, but then started to laugh as Freddy spun her around, "Freddy what has got-"

Everyone's jaw dropped as Freddy silenced Chica with a kiss. Chica stood there utterly shocked, "Who are you, and what have you done with Freddy?"

"I need to start treating everyone better" Freddy started and pulled Chica to him once more, "I've taken everyone for granted, I don't deserve the friends I have."

"Who sent you on a guilt trip?" Bonnie asked only to be suddenly embraced in a hug, "Hello there Freddy."

Freddy shook his head, "More like a wakeup call, and when you're repairing things stop using yourself for parts! That's what we have the catalogs for. Bon get over here real quick!"

Bon looked confused but approached the restored bear, "Can I help you Freddy?"

Freddy nodded, "I need you to take out whatever joint your brother gave up for Fredbear from my leg, and give it to your brother."

Bon didn't ask questions but instead just did as Freddy asked curious to see what the bear was thinking. Taking out the requested joint he quickly replaced the one Bonnie had given up for Fredbear and in a way felt relieved that his brother would no longer be limping. Freddy nodded in a way of thanks and then turned to Toy Freddy and Gold, "I'm sorry for acting like that. I really should learn to grieve better…"

Golden sighed and patted Freddy on the shoulder, "You should, but hopefully it won't happen again for some time."

Toy Freddy nodded and pulled Toy Chica close to him, "Until then we'll keep you straightened out."

Freddy nodded, "Thank you. Umm Mari do you have a moment?"

Mari looked up from a book they were borrowing from Leo, "Yes?"

"Did you send me? To see him?" Freddy asked.

Mari chuckled slightly, "I may have played a part in it, but no it was not my idea."

Leo and the kits tried to stifle their laughter, they knew what was going on. After Freddy had left he and Mike had been filled on what was going on by Mari. The puppet had known where Fredbear was going to end up after seeing that the children were taken care of. The first animatronic of the franchise had noted that he had cubs that he better keep on. While everyone was still adjusting to the new Freddy that had emerged from the grief of losing Fredbear Foxy and Mangle kept watching the hall as if looking for something.

"Something interesting down there?" Mike asked standing next to Foxy.

Foxy nodded, "I believe so, keep thinking I see something moving further down the hall."

"Interesting" Mike noted and pulled out a flashlight.

The guard and fox looked down the hall and noticed that at the far end was standing Fredbear. Both wanted to say something but Mangle placed a finger to her muzzle indicating for them to be quiet. Foxy nodded and Mike continued to look down the hall rather curious on why Fredbear was waiting. Feeling a hand tug on his sleeve he noticed Leo was trying to get his attention. Turning the flash light off he returned to his seat and watched as everyone started to get along a little better with one another. Suddenly the kits burst out into a full sprint down the hall.

"Where are you two going?" Foxy called towards the kits.

Before the kits could reply everyone heard them yell out "Fredbear!"

Everyone turned their attention towards the hall as Fredbear walked into the main room Faye and Morgan hanging off his legs. The balloon children started to laugh at the position the kits were in, and even the others started to laugh. Freddy, Golden, and Toy Freddy nodded and approached Fredbear who chuckled slightly.

"So does this papa bear need to stay around to keep an eye on his cubs?" Fredbear looked at the three models that came after him.

Freddy and Golden rubbed the back of their heads unsure to answer, but Toy Freddy had decided to answer for them, "We'd love for you to stay. If you can."

Fredbear nodded and lowered to the Toy Bear's level, "Glad to see at least one of you have some sense."

"Wasn't always like that" Toy Freddy admitted rubbing the back of his head, "I used to be a real jerk towards everyone. Freddy taught me how to be a better bear."

The toy models nodded as did the restored and two humans that were in the building. As the party continued everyone had a good time, and eventually 6 AM came, meaning it was time to revert back to the normal day function. As everyone returned to their spots Bon made a quick visit to Fredbear's room noticing that the bear was still awake, "Ummm"

Fredbear smiled at the toy rabbit, "Come in Bon, I don't bite."

Bon nodded and approached the bear, "Why did you come back? You had finally found peace."

Fredbear chuckled, "Your will is what brought you back to your friends and brother right? For me, the resolve to protect my family from whatever dangers are out there. Everyone restored me to what I once was, a bear loved by children."

"It's good to have you back" Bon responded and returned to the show stage.

As Fredbear got ready to sleep Freddy approached him, "Ah my middle cub, tell me are you feeling better now?"

"You came back…." Freddy was still trying to process things and hugged Fredbear, "You seemed so happy…"

"I was, but I also knew that you and the others needed me" Fredbear sighed softly, "I'm here now, and my resolve has been restored. I will do everything I can to make this place great once more. So our bloody history will not happen again."

Freddy nodded, "It's great to have you back with us. Welcome home, Fredbear."

"Thank you Freddy" Fredbear responded and watched the restored bear return to the show stage.

The newly restored animatronic had found a new resolve, to keep his family safe from all harm. Finally entering his sleep mode he thought back to how the one thing that motivated his resolve was the mere will of a toy who gave their life to protect what meant most to them. The toy rabbit may have never known how his will lead to Fredbear's resolve. Now, he was back where he needed to be with his new found resolve. Fredbear's Diner may have been gone, but he had a bright future ahead of him with Fazbear's Pizza. Soon people started to fill his room, meaning it was time for him to perform.

For the first time in many years he finally got to speak in front of an audience, "Good Morning everyone! Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, a place where fun and fantasy come to life!"

He was finally given a purpose once more.

Fredbear smiled as he heard the voices of the others singing and telling jokes. He only had one thought as he entered a temporary sleep mode.

I am Home.
