Summer, July 5th 2035, Thursday – PizzaPlex – Rockstar Row

10:25 AM

As they walked out of Vanessa's office, Mike Webb head of the board, Kellen Allenby, lead engineer for the Glamrock animatronics, and some board members with Freddy himself walked towards them, clearly on their way to Vanessa's office for the meeting. Freddy and Kellen stopped to say a quick hello to Gregory and the girls as they were about to leave.

"Freddy!" The girls said with a smile.

"Roxanne, Chica!" Freddy ran ahead to meet them then saw Gregory.

"Gregory!" Freddy said.

"Dad!" Gregory said embracing the bear.

"Ready for the trip superstar?" Freddy said patting him on the head.

"More then ever!" Gregory said.

"So Freddy honey about to go in that big meeting about the…you know what?" Chica said as she hugged the bear.

"Yeah…unfortunately…we have some matters to discuss…" Freddy said.

"Yeah…I know what it's about sweet bear, so does Gregory." Roxanne said.

"Dad, it's okay, will get through this and figure out whose really behind this." Gregory said.

"I know we will son, I know we will. Have you and your mother been keeping up with martial arts classes here at the PizzaPlex?" Freddy asked.

"Yup we're already working our way up the ranks thanks to Roxanne and Monty's training program their putting us through. We've already spared with Cassidy and Chica a few times, it's been fun." Gregory said.

"The kid is good Freddy. My pup-cup has been really kicking ass, just like his favorite." Roxanne said teasingly.

"Oh Roxy I'm not that good. I still can't take on an animatronic without the exosuit on. You guys could easily turn me and mom into a meat pretzel in a real fight." Gregory said.

"It's still progress Greg." Roxanne said reassuringly.

"Rox is right honey, you still did pretty good against me in our last match." Chica said.

Kellen came over to say hello to Gregory.

"Hey kid! Long time no see." Kellen said pounding a fist with Gregory with a smile.

"Kellen! Hey good to see you. By the way thanks for the exosuit you and Heather got me for my birthday!" Gregory said.

"Hey not a problem Greg. Just use it only when you really need to, it's powerful." Kellen said.

"I plan to only use it when I really need it. For now my fists are enough…as long as I'm not facing an animatronic in a real fight." Gregory said.

"Hello ladies." Kellen said to Chica and Roxanne with a smile.

"Hey Kellen!" They said back in unison, both smiling at him.

"Liking the upgrades I had the techs give you?" He asked.

"Love em Kel. Everything has been great." Roxanne said.

"Yeah thanks Kellen!" Chica said.

"Hi guys I'd hate to interrupt but..we do have an important topic to discuss in Vanessa's office." Mike Webb said. Mike Webb is the man that helped appoint Freddy as CEO of Fazbear Entertainment after it's corrupt human CEO had perished in the hacking incident. He got many raised eyebrows on the night of emergency voting, but everyone agreed he was a good fit. Freddy has really turned things around since as the first AI CEO.

"Yes we really do need to get going." Freddy said.

He hugged the boy he considered a son and the two robotic women he was close to.

"Be safe, all 3 of you. And if anything happens, I am a call away." Freddy said in his fatherly tone.

"Take care Gregory. Safe travels, I'll tell Heather you said hello." Kellen said walking with Freddy to meet the others in Vanessa's office. Freddy shut the door once they were all inside.

"Alright pup-cup, let's keep this train moving." Roxanne said as she and Chica hurried along to the atrium and took the elevator to the front foyer. Roxanne and Chica hummed along to their home's familiar theme. Gregory was tuning it out, after hearing the jingle too many times between his hellish night at the PizzaPlex and his regular trips to the PizzaPlex now that it's during better times. That said, he loves it when the band gets together to perform the full rock version on stage. He never misses a performance for that song, weather it's live in person or over a stream when they are on tour and he was so happy to finally hear Freddy sing it for the first time after surviving his ordeal during the hacking incident. They were always so happy to perform it no matter how many times they have done it.

They reached the foyer, and made their way past FazPad and the stores down the stairs past Freddy's gold statue at the fountain in the square.

"So pup-cup, so remember when I told you I had the Hayabusa and a sports car? Well today we're riding to Salt Late in my baby, my 2033 Subaru WRX STI!" Roxanne said with excitement.

Gregory saw the car in the very first spot in front of the glass entrance doors past the drop off area in front of the doors.

"Whoa." Gregory said.

"There she is. And she loves to go fast." Roxanne said.

"Rox, remember what Vanessa said. Take it easy." Chica said walking up to the car. Roxanne took her remote out of her pocket and popped the trunk for her, so she can put Gregory's bags in with theirs.

"Oh relax Chica. I don't drive that fast on the highway." Roxanne said getting into the driver side. Chica made sure things were packed while Gregory got in the backseat behind Roxanne and marveled at the sporty interior of the car.

Chica closed the trunk and got in the passenger seat, then shut the door on her side.

I am glad we took Roxy's car, I don't have NEARLY as much trunk space… Chica thought. Chica drives a sporty pink 2035 Honda Fit that Roxanne tuned up for her and also did a custom Honda K-series engine swap for her, it like Roxanne's car was a 6 speed manual. The car was almost as fast as Roxanne's WRX but not exactly roomy for long group trips.

Roxanne put the keys in the ignition and started up the car, and then a nice deep exhaust note could be heard from the engine once it started. Roxanne got her iPhone and synced it up with her stereo system. She buckled herself in and Chica put on her seat belt, while Gregory did his at the same time.

"Roxy it sounds badass!" Gregory said.

"Your lucky it's us and not Freddy and Vanessa hearing you talk like that. Since it's just us though, we will let you get away with it here…Yeah it is badass!" Roxanne said.

Roxy pulled out of the parking space and took off to the road leading out of the mall complex. She was making her way towards the on-ramp for I-15 North.

Roxanne put on her and Chica's favorite song, it was a guilty pleasure for them both. A now decades old classic, "Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton.

"Rox…" Chica said grinning looking over to her best friend.

"Oh you knew I was going to." Roxanne said grinning right back.

The first piano notes of the song started.

"What's this?" Gregory asked.

Then the lyrics began.

"Makin my way down town. Walking fast…"

Roxanne and Chica immediately belted out in song singing it together gleefully.

"Oh god why…" Gregory said as Roxanne accelerated onto the highway.
