Things had really picked up since the meeting. Soon, Tim was no longer alone in planning, but had Bonnie, Marion, and Goldie assisting him. Rachel began tackling the other necessities with TB and TF, Tia submitted a few interesting designs, and Foxy and Springy had doubled their efforts on the animatronics. In addition, TB was happy to loan some of his money leftover from his performing days to the cause, and Bonnie could borrow the rest of the needed money from Freddy.

On one day, Chica walked in with Ashley behind her. "We got the posters up," She announced. "Should be a flock of workers soon." Tim smiled. "Perfect, we need to start building soon." Mari laid a list on the table. "I've placed the necessary orders, building supplies should start showing up." Bonnie nodded, writing something in his notebook. "We still have to get a bunch of other things as well, better check to see if TF can get his hands on these things." As Bonnie walked off to find TF, Rachel walked over. "Have you seen these sketches? Tia came up with a few amazing designs!" Tim nodded, impressed. "Yeah… those are really good. You think we could get her to do all the art?" Rachel shrugged. "If she's down for it, then yeah."

"Before I forget, I have to ask you two something," Bonnie said as he came back. "I know that the main entertainment would be the two animatronics, but I'm a bit worried they might not be enough." Tim frowned. "What do you mean?" Bonnie shrugged. "Freddy's has three minimum at each location, two might not be enough. That's why I was thinking the other day that what if we had a few live performers working with the robots?" Rachel rubbed her chin. "Hmm… might be a good idea, but where could we find performers." Bonnie cleared his throat. "Well… aren't you two performers? I was thinking we could get you two on stage… at least for a little while."

Tim froze when he heard Bonnie's suggestion. "I… I don't know, it's been awhile since I've performed…" Rachel muttered. Tim sighed. "Well… one of the other reasons I came here was to try and get an acting job at that theater… To be honest, I wouldn't mind getting on the stage again." Rachel sighed. "It's been so long, though… I don't know if I'm up for it." Tim sighed and grabbed Rachel's hand. "Hey, you can do it. I believe. C'mon, it'll be just like old times!" Rachel smiled. "You… you really think so?" TIm nodded eagerly. "Alright... I guess it couldn't hurt to try."

Bonnie nodded. "Great to hear." Tim smiled. "I'll look forward to that. We might need some updated scripts as well." Bonnie nodded, writing it down in his notebook. "Maybe we could get TB on that after he finishes putting the music together…" Bonnie sighed as he wearily eyed the long list of things left to do.

2 Days Later

Foxy's tech store was seemingly flooded with boxes filled with parts. With Springy helping, progress on the animatronics had improved drastically. "Alright, systems look good!" Foxy called to Springy as he closed the tech panel on Baby's back. Springy nodded. "Alright, let's do it. Initiating test." Springy pushed a button on his tablet, and the animatronic eyes lit up. "Hello! Welcome to Circus Baby's Pizza World!" Baby announced. Foxy raised an eyebrow. "Circus Baby's PIzza World?" Springy shrugged. "I needed to call it something." Rachel laughed. "I like that." Tim nodded. "We might use that instead of… what was the other name we had in mind? Baby's Burger and Fries or something?" Bonnie scribbled something in his notebook. "Let's just get on with the test."

"I'm Circus Baby, and this is Ballora!" Baby announced. At the mention of the name, Ballora's eyes lit up. "Hello kids! Let's dance! Baby, let's get this party started!" With that, the animatronics began to sing, accompanied by music. Foxy smiled and high-fived Springy. "Everything's working so far!" Tim nodded, listening to the music. "TB did a great job on the music, that's for sure." As the animatronics finished, the group cheered and clapped each other on the backs. "Great! Only one more performance to work on," Bonnie said. "Yours." Tim smiled at Rachel. "Alright, let's do it."

A/N: Well, the story's just about coming to a close now. I'll admit that I can't say I'm perfectly happy with this story. Because I wrote it without a plan and I wrote it spread out over a few months, there are a lot of things that don't add up as well as I had hoped. There are several moments that should have held more significance, but I failed to elaborate on them, leading to a lot of subplots that don't go anywhere. I'm considering writing a sequel to tie off the loose ends here, but I'm still debating it. Let me know what you guys think!
