Summer, July 5th 2035, Thursday – Fredbear Lux Hotel - 40F – Room 4002
6:00 PM
Roxanne had explained what had happened earlier when they left the restaurant to Gregory and Chica. Gregory was a little worried about hearing that something was after him, but for the most part was brave about it. Roxanne assured him she would not let anything happen to him, Chica also telling him the same thing.
They had decided to head back to the hotel to lay low for the night before leaving in the morning. They did not want to drive back and risk running into the creature during their drive home alone on the highway in the dead of night. They figured they were safer in the city with more people around. From the safety of their hotel suite, they watched the on-going news coverage of the trail of destruction left behind in it's path.
FBI, State Police, and now OAOS were involved in tracking down the Twisted Wolf beyond Hurricane, while Hurricane's Chief of Police was being investigated by internal affairs. They showed footage of the creature running down the same highway they were travelling down hours ago, captured by a bystander. It was flipping over several cars with ease.
Roxanne, Chica and Gregory were on the large couch in front of the high end projector screen displaying the current news channel. Roxanne was lounging in her black shorts and a black tank top that had her Roxy Raceway logo on it and slightly barred her midriff. Gregory was right next to her in his black shorts and gray shirt with Freddy's Glamrock insignia on it. Roxanne's soft bushy tail was wrapped around behind him, going behind his back, then along his side. Roxanne was snuggled next to him as if he was like her own pup. Chica was on the other side of Gregory, in her black shorts and pink tank top with a cartoony drawing of herself eating pizza on it, barring her midriff slightly.
"That…thing. Is after me?" Gregory said.
"Yes…but we won't let it hurt you. I promise." Roxanne said holding him close.
"I wish this vacation could have gone the way we planned. I was really looking forward to having fun." Gregory said.
"Next time Gregory, I promise. Right now, we need to lay low, and keep that thing from getting to you. Or hope that the police catch it and subdue it first." Chica said gently putting her hand through his hair.
"Well. We can still have fun pup-cup. Hold on." Roxanne said walking into her room and walking out with her game console.
"Check out what I brought with me." Roxanne walked out with her portable game console and two controllers. She hooked it up to the input port on the projector.
"Wanna try to fight me in Street Fighter? You know I'm still the best." Roxanne said.
"Don't underestimate me Roxy, I'm getting better. I just might kick your ass." Gregory said.
"Ha. Will see about that kid." Roxanne said as she gave a competitive smile to him.
Chica laughed at the interactions of the two.
8:00 PM
A couple hours passed, Gregory finally managed to beat Roxanne in a fighting game. Old classic Roxanne would probably have a fit that she lost against a child, had this happened months ago, but now she laughed it off. She loves her human little brother too much to be mad at him these days.
"Your taking after the best, soo I can't be too upset." She teased.
By now Chica had called in two Pizza's to be delivered to them from the kitchen downstairs in the hotel, of course she got everything on it. Jerry Rooster had his best staff in the kitchen on top of it. Complete with 12 cans of FizzyFaz. They all ate the Pizza while Roxy and Gregory traded blows back and forth in the fighting game.
10:00 PM
They capped off the night once Gregory started nodding out while they watched a comedy horror movie together, Willy's Wonderland.
Huh, now I know what's it's like on the receiving end. Roxanne thought then she noticed Gregory was out. His head up against her side. She smiled at the child.
"Guess your not much of a night owl." She said softly.
"He's adorable when he's a sleep." Chica commented softly.
Roxanne turned off the tv with the remote then nudged Gregory.
"Hey pup-cup." Roxanne said.
"Huh?" Gregory got up. He noticed the tv was off.
"I thought we were watching the movie? Did I fall out?" Gregory asked.
"Yeah you did, but we can watch the rest of it back at home tomorrow. Why don't you get your stuff together and take a shower in the second bathroom." Roxanne said.
"Yeah I'm like super tired." Gregory said getting his clothes together then entering the second bathroom. The door shut and exhaust fans turning on with the lights.
The bathroom with the hot tub was open.
"Rox I think my battery is reaching that threshold. Not quite drained yet, but want to relax in the hot tub with a glass of wine before I settle in to charge for the night." Chica said yawning.
"Chickpea you read my mind. Are you thinking a girls spa night?" Roxanne said with an eyebrow raised and a grin.
"Exactly. It seats two." Chica said smiling back pointing a finger at Roxanne.
The girls got their clothes together, prepped the hot tub, then got some wine from downstairs and both went into first bathroom with their wine glasses, shutting the door behind them, stripping down to nothing. Chica and Roxanne were quite comfortable being naked around each other or changing in the same room, since they were close girl-friends. Chica undid her bow tie on her white hair letting it hang down as she settled into the water, her slim feminine synthetic body soaking it in, her glass in hand. Roxanne did the same her glass in hand, letting the jets hit her body. The nice thing about the more realistic looking bodies the animatronics had at this point was how well sealed they were to protect components inside from water damage or short circuiting. They now were beyond IP65 compliant. Half the things they can do now, they could not do with their old shells months ago, this also includes the food processing upgrades they had received as well.
Chica took a sip of her wine.
"I gotta ask. What else happened with you and Tina?" Chica asked.
"I think she was jealous…of my fame." Roxanne said with a sad expression.
"She's working for our rival now right?" Chica said.
"Yup. Once we got really popular, I think she noticed less people were paying attention to her at our bar in New York. It made her feel unwanted, and I wish we caught it sooner. Maybe I could have talked some sense into her before I let things get as bad as they did." Roxanne said taking a sip.
"Rox, it's not your fault. And to be fair, It's not her fault ether, it's just showbiz sometimes…we have no control over who the people like more. But, that doesn't mean, we didn't care about her." Chica said.
"I just wished we reached out to her before this happened. She matters just was much as we do. I don't know if we can convince her to come back and make her feel welcomed. Hell, even if she doesn't come back, I just want to know she's going to be safe and okay wherever she is. But as long as Silver Parasol is doing the things they have been doing, I feel like she's not in a good place. That makes me worry about her." Roxanne said.
"She's her own wolf Roxanne. We can't make her. She's going to have to figure out her life on her own. I asked Freddy about it in a text, while you and Gregory were playing games on the tv, he told me he tried too convince her to stay, even temporary until she finds a new company to work for. But she turned it all down. So I'm sorry Rox, but we've done what we could. She's going to have to figure out her shit on her own." Chica said.
"I guess your right. I just miss the old days with her." Roxanne said.
"At least we have good memories of those times." Chica said putting a hand on her friends hand to re-assure her things will be okay. The new shells, gave them more human like hands, with 5 digits instead of 4. The hands were still clearly robotic with the segments at the joints visible. The only exception was wolf models had longer curved fingernails that resembled claws.
10:15 PM
A large beast like creature was making it's way down a back alley in Salt Lake City, in the dark while a man was putting trash in a dumpster behind his restaurant.
