The stairs led them out to Wireland and they were soon back in Jack's apartment.
"I'm happy to be out of that maze, so let's not go back." Jack suggested.
"Totally." Cherry agreed.
"We're home!" Jack beamed. "Come on, Cherry, let's get out of these clothes."
"Jack, for the last time, I am not shipping myself with you!" Cherry replied.
"You sure are pretty defensive about our relationship..." Jack said.
"Sorry... It's just... With Katie and Mark... People might do the same with us..." Cherry replied. "I just want to make it clear that I do love you, but as a brother or something."
"Fair enough, but, anyway, let's get out of these clothes." Jack replied.
"Non-sexually." Cherry said.
"Dirty Mind..." Jack mumbled.
Soon enough, they all changed clothes since Felix had their clothes.
"Okay, let's see the damage so far," Jack said before he then saw a certain blue-haired girl. "Hey, Sal! Cherry, have you seen this game?"
"Yeah, I really like the theme of it," Cherry nodded. "Hi, Sally Face."
"Hi, guys," Sally Face said to them. "How's Wireland so far?"
"Weird, but it feels like home kinda," Jack replied. "Maybe because, in a way, Cherry and I built it ourselves somehow."
"Yeah, I guess I understand that," Sally Face said. "Well, if you guys ever need someone to show you around, you know where to find me. I totally know how it feels to be in a new place full of weird people."
"Welcome to the New Age~" Cherry commented.
"Aw, come on, that's not even a movie, that's a song!" Jack said to her.
"A good song." Cherry smiled.
"Weird people?" Billy asked Sally Face. "Really?"
"It's literally your job to get torn to pieces for the amusement of sadists." Sally Face reminded the Happy Wheels character.
"I mean, okay, yeah, that is weird if you're comparing it to jobs outside of Wireland, but it's pretty standard here." Billy said.
"Still, it's an adjustment," Sally Face shrugged. "You don't meet people like us everywhere you go."
"How true that is!" Jack smiled before he looked over. "Another Billy?"
"Must be your worst nightmare." Cherry smirked.
"Well, if you didn't want there to be so many of us, why do you inspire your fans by yelling at us so much?" The other Billy glared at Jack.
"Can't argue with that!" Billy smirked cockily.
"Shut up, Billy!" Jack glared.
"Which one?" Billy still smirked.
"ALL OF THEM!" Jack shouted.
"But this Billy is the coolest!" Billy smiled innocently.
"Wait, I recognize this Billy," Cherry said. "He's from the 1 Million Subscriber Party Massacre... That was a fun video, I felt so happy for you, Jack."
"Aw, you're sweet." Jack smiled to her.
"Still not shipping myself with you." Cherry deadpanned.
"Too clichè?" Jack asked.
"Oh, right, Cherry, and inserting yourself into movies/TV shows/cartoons/video games/books is super original..." Billy muttered. "Wasn't that popularized in November 2007 by a guy named brerdaniel who made a YouTube series known as Pooh's-"
"Ah, ah, ah, we do NOT talk about that!" Cherry cut him off. "I am not inspired by that series, I am an original fan fiction author, and I get a lot of praise for it! I even have my own TV Tropes page!"
"Your mom must be so proud of you." Billy teased.
"Shut up, Billy." Cherry glared.
"Why are there so many versions of Billy here?" Jack wondered, seeing a pixelated one and a ghost one.
"Maybe because you won't stop ranting and raving about how evil I am." Billy glared.
"You make it seem like it's my fault..." Jack replied.
The three then went to the other side of the room and saw a certain Kindergartner.
"NUGGET!" Jack beamed.
"Ah, Kindergarten, the last game play I ever saw with my best friend at the time during vocational college..." Cherry sighed softly.
"Nugget is deeply perturbed." Nugget said.
"What is it this time, Nugget?" Billy rolled his eyes.
"The nugget of friendship has been engulfed by the flames of disaster." Nugget informed.
"What flames?" Cherry wondered.
"Literal flames," Nugget said. "You have seen the kitchen, have you not?"
"Aw, I'm sorry," Jack frowned. "Do you want a new nugget?"
"The vault of nuggets has been reduced to ashes," Nugget said. "So, too, have all Nugget's opportunities for friendship. Alas."
"The fridge is fine, Nugget." Billy scoffed.
"It has been penetrated by flames!" Nugget replied. "All is lost."
"We could probably get some more at Bosco's." Jack suggested.
"Nugget's friendship cannot be bought so easily," Nugget shook his head. "It must be earned through trial."
"Jack, can we get a move on?" Billy complained. "I'm gonna lose my mind!"
"Y'all gonna make me lose my mind, Up in here, Up in here~" Cherry sang just to tease him.
"Ugh, you're even worse!" Billy groaned.
"Shouldn't you two be best friends considering you both have an unnaturally large vocabulary for your age?" Jack asked Billy an Nugget.
"Vocabulary does not equal friendship!" Billy glared.
"Enough talking now," Nugget dismissed them. "Shoo!"
They soon came into the bathroom and the line for the shop was even longer.
"Um... Have I always had this red carpet?" Jack asked himself.
There were many new characters. Some were a little more recent than others.
"Hey, Frisk!" Cherry beamed before calling out. "KAT! IT'S YOUR COUSIN FROM THE UNDERTALE UNIVERSE!"
"I know!" Katie called back with a laugh. "You two play nice now!"
Segway Steve was even there and offered a flux capicator for them.
"What're we gonna do?" Cherry asked. "Use it for a DeLorean and travel back in time to 30 years ago?"
"Okay, that pop-culture reference makes sense." Jack said to her.
"At least I'm not trying to phone it in like kid's movies these days..." Cherry grumbled before smiling to Katie's cousin. "Hey, Frisk."
Frisk waved to Cherry in silence.
"They don't talk all that much," Billy commented. "One of the drawbacks to being kind of an empty slate character."
"Yeah, that's true," Cherry said. "Oh, Frisk, is this origami for me?"
Frisk smiled and nodded before doing signs like they did in the Undertale story that Cherry wrote with Katie.
"Oh, Alphys taught you origami when you guys got locked in a meat freezer?" Cherry asked.
Frisk nodded and did more signs.
"And you miss it when we hang out and you're so glad to see me?" Cherry smiled.
Frisk then did more signs.
"And now it's weird that I'm repeating everything you say for the sake that the audience knows what you're saying?" Cherry asked.
Frisk then simply nodded.
"Okay, I'll stop." Cherry said as she put the origami in her pocket for safekeeping.
"Well, if it isn't little Cherry?" Toriel smiled. "I've really missed you and Katie. It's also lovely to finally meet your friend, Jack."
"Hi, Toriel," Cherry smiled back. "It's good to see you too."
"Are you in line to buy something?" Jack added.
"Oh, no; I am merely helping around the house and shop, mostly just with keeping things tidy." Toriel smiled.
"Aw, does this mean you can't bake?" Cherry frowned.
"Well, I could always do that while I am cleaning, but... It is best if I delay it until the kitchen is in a more suitable state for baking..." Toriel replied.
"Sounds a lot like my own mom." Cherry replied.
"Oh, your mother must be a lovely person then to have a wonderful daughter like you." Toriel beamed.
Cherry blushed a little and shuffled a foot across the floor.
Toriel then sighed and looked annoyed. "I love Papyrus and Undyne as if they were my own brother and sister, but sometimes..." she then gave a smile instead. "Ah, I must not dwell on the negatives. They are such wonderful people when they are not commiting arson when I send Katie out to do errands. But I am glad you enjoy my cooking! When the oven has been repaired, I shall bake you one of my favorites."
"Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie?" Jack smiled back.
"Even better: Snail Pie!" Toriel beamed.
"...Yay..." Cherry said weakly.
"I am only joking, dears!" Toriel giggled. "I will give key lime pie a try. It is Undyne's favorite, you know."
"Hm, I don't think I've had some before." Cherry said.
"Ah, delicious!" Jack told her. "My favorite!"
"It is certainly safer than eating limes whole," Toriel smiled to them. "What a choking hazard!"
"Knowing her, she can handle it." Jack shrugged.
Poor Jack, the kitchen was on fire, there were spears everywhere, and even the cake was burnt into a crisp. Jack even promised to avenge the cake and they soon came to check up on Alphys and there were characters surrounding her.
"Hey, Night in the Woods characters!" Jack beamed and clapped happily at the other characters. "YES!"
Cherry smiled to Jack's happiness as they came to see the characters up close. She knew about the game a bit, but not that much as she had only seen a few videos of those.
"Are you smoking in my recording room?" Jack asked Bea.
"Yes and no," Bea said, speaking like Raven from the Teen Titans. "This is your room and I do have a cigarette in my mouth, but I am not smoking."
"But it's glowing." Cherry pointed out.
"My cigarettes are all lit," Bea replied. "It's the only way they were drawn."
"Then why do you have it out?" Jack asked.
"Because having it with me makes it easier to tolerate my friends." Bea defended.
"Wow, harsh." Mae said to Bea.
"But I thought you loved us!" Gregg cried out.
"I do," Bea replied. "That's why I have this cigarette instead of avoiding you at all costs, but Jack, if at any point you do smell smoke, I advise you to check the kitchen."
"Or don't!" Undyne grinned. "That works too!"
"You're still grounded." Katie warned.
"You suck!" Undyne pouted angrily.
"Hey, Angus!" Jack smiled to the bear.
"Hey." Angus replied, though didn't really look at him or Cherry.
"Hey, I had to learn that eye contact is important in social interaction," Cherry told the bear. "Let your sprite turn around and look at us when you're talking to us!"
"None of us have a profile sprite," Angus replied. "We only ever face forward in our game."
"That must suck." Billy commented.
"It's way too easy to sneak up on us." Bea replied.
"Yeah, one time I snuck up on Gregg and he turned around and hit me in the face with a florescent light bulb like the ones they have at the store and it looked like I'd been mauled by a bear!" Mae added.
"At the hospital, we told everyone Freddy did it." Angus added.
"You all have a hospital?" Jack asked.
"Surgeon Simulator." Angus nodded.
"Cool..." Jack said.
"So, Jack, you have a limit on vocal range, some of these characters sound a lot alike." Cherry said.
"Oh, you try it sometime!" Jack pouted. "I'm only one guy!"
"Aw, don't feel bad, I don't mean it like that," Cherry said. "Anyway, let's go see Alphys."
"Okay." Jack replied.
"Oh, good!" Alphys smiled to the two. "I s-see you have my hydrospersion key! Thank you!"
"You're very welcome," Jack smiled back. "It was no problem."
"Speak for yourself." Billy huffed.
"So, did you make any progress on that firewall?" Jack asked.
"Well... S-Sorry, guys, but whoever installed it really knew what they were doing," Alphys blushed nervously. "I can't m-make a dent in it. The best I can do is send you for the best of the keys."
"Soooo... Back to Wireland for the next two keys?" Jack guessed.
"I-If you don't mind." Alphys said.
"You were gone a really long time this time," Undyne said to Cherry and Jack. "What'd you do?"
"You really don't want to know what we went through for this part." Billy replied.
"Well, I'm glad you're back!" Papyrus smiled.
"Um, Alphys, I have a question for you..." Jack spoke up. "Well, for all of you, really. How come some of the Wireland residents act exactly like their game counterparts while... Others don't?" He then asked.
"It's... Sort of a combination of canon and wh-whatever life the player gives us." Alphys replied.
"So, Jack gives you life?" Cherry asked.
"Of course," Alphys smiled. "You influence canon as much as canon. Th-The same kinda happens for you too, Cherry."
"Neat." Cherry nodded in approval.
"So, you're that god in the forest?" Mae asked Jack.
"What?! No, I'm not a god!" Jack replied to the black cat.
"But you give us life!" Mae replied.
"WAIT! I GOT IT!" Gregg exclaimed. "MAYBE WE'RE ALL FRANKENSTEINS!"
"Actually, Jack is Frankenstein," Bea replied. "We're all just his monsters."
Gregg soon let out an excited howl before thinking of something. "Wait, if we're monsters, does that mean I can't love Angus anymore?" he then asked about the bear.
"Well, Alphys and Undyne love each other and they're monsters, so you two should be fine." Bea replied.
"Good save," Undyne smirked. "I was just about to take offense to that, Gregg."
"Anyway, back to the topic at hand," Cherry said. "How does Jack influence canon?"
"You and Jack both kind of fill in all the gaps the writers left out," Bea explained. "Like, Jack gives us voices, and you might give us our little stories if you have your own theory or storyline in mind when you write with a friend or two."
"Ohh! Is that why Alphys and I sound really similar?" Mae asked. "I always thought it was just because we were separated at birth! We look so much alike!"
"Yeah, I forgot how much a yellow dinosaur and a black cat look so much alike," Cherry deadpanned. "For my next crossover: I'll introduce Lisa Simpson to Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
"Your Sabrina stories are confusing..." Jack commented. "You take elements from the live-action series, but your stories are based off the cartoons."
"I grew up with both, I can't pick one between the other!" Cherry defended.
"Wait!" Gregg interrupted. "Then why do Undyne and I sound alike?"
"Repertoire," Bea stated grimly. "He's only one man. He can only do so many voices. Fortunately, mine is unique."
"Like a snowflake!" Papyrus grinned.
Bea gave him a deadpan face. "No." she then suddenly said in her monotone voice.
"Well, in rare cases, characters might get enough attention that sort of gain their own personality!" Billy smiled.
"Exactly," Alphys smiled back. "Otherwise, the characters d-default to canon and nothing else."
"So... Long story short-" Jack began.
"Too late!" Cherry said before Jack looked to her. "Oh, sorry, you didn't say that line right like in Clue."
"Uh... Yeah..." Jack glanced to her before looking back at Alphys. "We're screwed if we run into any villanious characters from games or media we didn't give much attention?"
"Oh, man, you two would be in serious danger!" Undyne laughed.
"So please, be careful, Jack and Cherry." Papyrus cautioned.
"I know my Nee-Bear will be safe and happy because it makes me feel safe and happy." Katie beamed.
"There's a chance they might r-resent you for not giving them the attention they wanted." Alphys warned.
"Uh-oh..." Cherry muttered.
"Evil characters with a grudge," Jack groaned. "Great."
"Yep!" Undyne grinned. "Excited yet?"
"Please don't die right after meeting us," Mae said. "We already have enough dead people in our game!"
"But if you do die, at least send us back a limb." Bea added.
"We promise to poke it with a stick!" Gregg helped.
"Well, anyway, here's the hydrospersion key, Alphys." Jack told the genius.
"Thanks!" Alphys smiled. "I've programmed the front door to lead to the approximate location of the next key."
"Okie Dokey!" Jack beamed. "Come on, Team!"
Jack, Cherry, and Billy soon left the room and the home to go on their next quest in this little adventure.
When they came into the next area, they were in a certain pizzeria.
"Oh, God, it's Five Nights at Freddy's..." Jack groaned. "I'm definitely screwed. Oh, no!"
Cherry looked to one wall and there was a framed picture of Katie in a night guard uniform and the plaque read EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.
"Employee of the Month?" Jack asked.
"And we did the musical with Markiplier!" Cherry smiled. "I have an animatronic OC."
"Of course you do." Jack muttered in deadpan.
Jack, Cherry, and Billy soon came into the security booth where that Katie was with the puppet and they seemed to be having tea.
"Katie?" Cherry called.
"Oh, Cherry, it's good to see you!" Katie smiled. "Would you like some tea?"
"Uh... Thanks, but no..." Cherry said to her sister figure who was in yet another video game universe. "I'm kind of on a mission with Jack."
"Uh... Hi." Jack blinked.
"Oh, hey, Jack," Katie smiled. "If you see Carrie around, could you tell her we're in here?"
"Who's Carrie?" Jack asked.
"My FNaF OC," Cherry replied. "She's an animatronic too, but she's a human girl. I made her for our story based on the YouTube musical Mark starred in."
"The other ones seem to be corrupt though," Katie said. "They don't mind anyone coming in, but coming out is a problem."
"Is there a way to lure the animatronics away?" Jack asked.
"Well, there is a music box out there," Katie replied. "Baby's move route leads right to it. If you turn it on, they're supposed to go on stage. Something about it signalling the start of the show. The handbook isn't very clear on that, exactly."
There was then a sound heard which made them all jump.
"Something's at the door!" Cherry panicked.
"And the power is only at 10%!" Katie added.
"Um, okay, uh, what if we took out the computer parts of Baby and put someone inside?" Cherry suggested. "The animatronics probably wouldn't know the difference."
"That does sound like a good idea, Nee-Bear, but as small as I am, I can't fit inside." Katie said as she was shorter than Cherry was despite being older.
"Well..." Jack said before eyeing Billy in specific. "There is one of us that's kinda the right size."
Billy glared at Jack in silence for a moment. "No."
"There's no other option." Jack smiled innocently.
"I am not dressing up as Baby!" Billy glared. "No way!"
"You wanted to be useful," Jack shrugged. "Now's your chance."
"Yeah, Billy, you can do it!" Katie encouraged. "I believe in you, Billy! Even though I don't really know you."
"Fine, but you owe me big time," Billy warned as he forced himself into the animatronic of Circus Baby. "You all suck." He then muttered as he hated this already.
"Make us proud, Billy!" Jack beamed.
"The blueprints for the building and Baby's route are on the table," Katie instructed. "It should be pretty simple to figure out where to go."
The phone soon rang as Billy looked over the blueprint.
"Hello, hello," Cherry quoted. "Hi, I'm Phone Guy, pleasure to meet you! I'd like to leave a few quick words~"
"Freddy's friends can be a bit active~" Katie added.
"Blah, blah, that's completely absurd~" Cherry sang.
Billy as Baby soon went to carry out his quest, but he had to memorize the route and pay close attention or else he would suffer grave consequences as he wandered out by himself.
Much, much, much later...
"He did it!" Jack smiled as he watched this. "I think we're safe!"
"That's a relief, I'm happy for you guys." Katie smiled back.
"Okay, here's the plan," Jack said. "Cherry, we're gonna have to split up to look for something called a hydrospersion key."
Cherry shook a little.
"I know you hate to be alone at a time like this, but I know you can do it..." Jack advised. "Think about what Katie would say if she were here with you right now."
Cherry wiped her eyes and did her best to look brave for everyone's sake. "All right then, where do we go from here?" she then asked.
"I, uh... Didn't know I was the team leader." Jack said sheepishly.
"You just suggested we split up," Cherry deadpanned. "I think the only horror they don't split up is in the old movie version of Stephen King's IT. Plus, this is your computer, and you're older than I am."
"Fair point..." Jack shrugged. "Anyway, I'll check the storage room out there. Cherry, you go ahead and check the bathrooms. Katie, are you going to help?"
"Normally I would, but I wish you guys luck," Katie smiled as she went back to her tea party. "Surprised you didn't want to go to the kitchen, Jack, there might be cake."
"On second thought, I might go for it!" Jack beamed at the mention of cake. "Even if it might be coded cake."
"Do I still have to check the icky, smelly bathroom?" Cherry asked.
"Yes," Jack firmly told her. "For a goth, you sure get scared easily."
"It's canon now, I'm human." Cherry smirked.
"Just go..." Jack told her. "I promise to owe you for this."
Cherry sighed as she soon went to check the bathroom. She looked around as she wondered where to check for the hydrospersion key first. She soon went to check one door and to her surprise, it lead her to a strange new world within the Five Nights at Freddy's world.
