"We can't play that song!" Tim groaned as he lay his head in his hands. "I know, Rach, but it's the only other song on this list." He tossed a notebook onto the table, with a list of songs that were pretty much all crossed off. "We have three songs, and that's it." Rachel slumped back in her chair. "This will never work…" Rachel picked up a sketch book and flipped through it. "We still don't have a good design yet either." She lay her head on the table in defeat. It was only a few days after the incident involving Marion, but the two felt completely demoralized. Foxy was making slow progress on the animatronics, but it was clear doing so was wearing him out. The two had no designs or concept art, meaning TF couldn't order any products. The opening day had now been pushed two months back from when they had originally planned for. Their sorrow was interrupted by Ashley, who lay two cups of coffee on their table. "Wow. You guys look wiped out." Tim sighed. "That's because we ARE."
Ashley looked over at all of the drawings and plans that were scattered across the table. "Um… Could I offer some advice?" Rachel threw her hands in the air. "Nothing else is working, so sure." "Well, I think you guys are putting too much pressure on yourselves. Think about it: You've got a lot of help here," She paused and gestured over to the counter, where Chica was serving food to TF, TB and Bonnie. "You're just not using it." With that, Ashley walked towards the counter, where Tia was sketching something on a piece of paper. Tim rubbed his eyes and thought for a bit. TB walked past their booth, but stopped when he saw the notepad with three songs circled. "You guys are using songs from THAT band?"" He laughed. "Oh man, good luck attracting any customers." He grabbed a pencil and wrote something else down. "Try that one instead." The rabbit walked away, leaving Tim and Rachel in thought. "Maybe Ashley was on the right track…" Tim mused. "Yeah…" Rachel nodded. "I have an idea."
A few hours later, a crowd had gathered at Chickadee's. "Say, what's this all about?" Chica asked. "No idea," TB replied. "Yeah, Tim called me over here," TF stated. Foxy nodded as he leaned against the counter. "Same here," Bonnie said absently, sitting next to Springy and Goldie. Tia sat in the staff room, with an interested Ashley standing next to her. The talking ceased as Toby and Rachel walked in. "Hey guys, thanks for coming. Now, I know everyone here has at least heard of our plan," Tim said. "Yes, and we have been working hard to get this location open, but we've realized something," Rachel continued. "We can't do this by ourselves anymore. There are a bunch of things that just aren't in our skill set, and there it would be impossible for us to finish this alone." "Then we suddenly realized: We don't have to do this alone." Tim paused for a moment. "So here's what we're asking. We need people. We need mechanics, musicians, cooks, guards, artists, designers, we need anyone who would be willing to help. So we have a question for you, will you help us?"
The cafe was silent as Tim finished. Before anyone could say anything, the door opened and the bell dinged. "Oh. I hope I'm not interrupting anything…" Marion muttered. Tim smiled. "No, of course not." Marion stood awkwardly at the door before speaking. "Well, I've thought about what you said… I realized I've done more harm than good. I want to change that. So I will be willing to help you." Bonnie stood up, smiling. "Well, let's get the gang together again. I'm in." Goldie nodded. "If you're in, I'm in." Springy thought for a moment before speaking. "It's been awhile since I've done anything techy… so this should be fun." Foxy spoke next. "I've been in already, and I'm staying in this." TB smiled. "Glad to see I'll be doing something other than driving y'all around." TF spoke up. "Well, I guess I'm in as well." Chica nodded. "All you had to do was ask." Rachel turned to Ashley and Tia. "What about you two?" Ashley shrugged. "Well…. Sure." Tia shrugged. "Eh. Why not?" Tim smiled. "Alright guys. Let's do this." Bonnie smiled as he walked over and shook hands with Marion. "Let's do it for Jerry." Marion smiled. "For Jerry."
A/N Hey…. It's been awhile since I've updated. Sorry about that, I stupidly decided to start another story. If you can't tell, I haven't actually planned this story out. I just kind of wrote the first chapter on a whim, and people really seemed to like it so I've been kind of winging it. I think the story will be done in two or three chapters, hopefully I'll finish this one up soon. See you 'round!
