And THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE! Ok well thanks Demon now on with the fic.

Mitchel's View

"Dante how are things in Kentucky"? Dante answered on the other end of the line saying, "Wet what else is new... Mitchel you should be resting you really scared me after that heart attack". "Now don't you be getting all teary eyed how did things go with Ms. Cooper"? Dante, "She liked the shipment so much that she wants to ask for twice as much next season". "Good to hear when you get back I've got a few things to tell you so don't take too long ok". Dante, "I'll try Mitchel the roads as being slowed by the rain water". "When has a little water ever stopped you from walking where you wanted to go"? "Ok I'll start walking just make sure you get some rest". Hanging up I looked at the box next to my bed. "Hope you like it".

Dante's View

As I walked down the rainy street I found my eyes wandering once more. But as I looked at a newsstand the headlines of an article reading, 'Grand day's ahead Ms. Fazbear in talks about where Freddy Fazbear pizzeria will head'. "Hope you bring them fun back to everyone Ms. Fazbear we sure need it". Walking down the street I turned off into the main road and began to walk. After two hours I checked my watch to see it was seven at night. Pulling an energy bar from my pack I ate it down and chased it down with a bottle of fruit punch. Shivering a little I once more felt what Glenn called someone walking over my grave. Looking from up the raining road to back down it I shrugged and kept walking. But it was odd it sounded as if the wind was whispering in my ear. I could have sworn I heard the wind say, 'save them'. Walking on I knew it would take me a good two-day walked back home. "Man I should really by something with a motor... maybe not Mitchel told me how much gas cost".

Getting to the hospital I had bought Mitchel a pack of his favorite potato chips. But when I got into the room I saw a doctor pull the bed sheet over Mitchel's head. Seeing me a nurse said, "I'm sorry son". The doctor walked over to say, "I understand how you feel". Turning to him I said, "Do you know what its like to have no one but always lose people that want to help you"? The doctor said nothing and walked away leaving me alone with my dead friend. Pulling the sheet from his head I saw the colorless face of my bearded friend. Feeling the pain once more erupt from inside me I pulled off Mitchel's headband and held it. "I'll always have you both watching over me... thank you for helping me grow to know the world some more". Tucking the headband into my pocket I looked at the box next to his head. Opening the card attached it was to me.

Dear, Dante

I know that Glenn and me have been a big help in your life. But I want you to know you've been a big help to us as well. Keep growing and stay strong. And if you don't mind move the still into your place so no one will take it. And happy sixteenth birthday Dante hope you like it.

Your friend,

Mitchel Moore

When I finished the note I opened the box to see a book that read in Glenn hand's writing 'Moonshine for the youth'. Next to that were stacks of hundreds. "You two were the closet things I had to a family... thank you". Closing the box I put it in my pack and started to write a note saying, 'cremate my friend'. With the note in hand I felt weird no tears or watery eyes I just felt cold. Pulling the sheet over Mitchel's head I placed the note on his chest. But instead of leaving I sat down in the chair just staring at the blank white wall with the small TV. Seeing the lights flicker with not even a sound was odd however. But still I sat not saying a word it was as if my body was instinctively waiting. Feeling a light brush on my opposite arm I turned my head slightly to see a shadowy bulky Bonnie. "You're Shadow Freddy's friend right"? He nodded but remained quiet even in the darkness of the room everything was still.

"Why doesn't it hurt? Before it hurt to lose the people I cared for but now I just feel spent". Shadow Bonnie, "It'll never be easy but those you are for will come and go. Its hard and overtime it'll feel like others will never know the real you. Remember that cause soon your path will never be more clear". As he faded back into the shadows the lights remained off only the patter of rain keeping me company. Walking to Glenn and Mitchel's cabin I found Boxer siting inside. Smiling at him I grabbed all the food from inside the cabin and locked up the window shutters. Whistling for Boxer the big bloodhound made his way outside and I locked the door. Taking off Glenn's hat I wrapped my hair back with Mitchel's headband then put back on Glenn's hat. "Thanks for being my family". With Boxer next to me I walked off to collect the still and make our way home.

Third person's View

It been two months since Mitchel passed and with winter in full swing Dante and his dog friends once more had to find things to do. Using everything at his disposal Dante closed up the windows and began to find various ways to keep their room warm. Find an old map Dante saw that there was a junkyard down in Kentucky. Nodding his head Dante new his best chance to make the place warmer for him and the guys was to find working parts and wiring. Dante, "Ok guys we're going to have to make a long trip and I don't know how long it'll be until we get back. But lets make sure we do what we can to make our dream come true". Happily barking at Dante's idea he wrapped them it puffy clothes along with wrapping their legs. Dante hid his more valuable things and then closed the doors to the stairway and their room as best he could. In time Dante was walking through the soft snow with Duke and Boxer right at his side.

Today we find Dante walking through the streets of a small grassy town in lower Kentucky. Dante and his friends spend days walking and asking for off the books jobs. Tonight however Dante was guarding a construction site. Over the last week several night watchmen allowed vandals to trash and halt the construction. So Dante asked if he could watch instead and pretend to be a random bum. But while he walking around he could record the vandals and stop them for the owner. The owner agreed and here we are Dante sitting alongside the inner gate waiting to hear something. Sighing Dante looked at his watch then back up from the shadows into the empty loot. The only evidence of construction was the metal beams sticking out from the ground with concrete mixers close by. Dante, "Hope those two aren't barking like last time don't want to have to look for another place to call home until we go back to Honey county".

In time a truck pilled up to the side of the site and Dante heard several foot get out of the car. Hearing the chain rattle Dante turned on the small camera and started to record from the shadows. He watched as the hooded goons took crowbars and sledgehammers to all the equipment in site. Nodding at the evidence he had Dante pulled the football helmet onto his head. Tapping it twice he hopped to his feet and began to skate to the goons. With a lasso in his hand he charged. Caught off guard the goons were shocked seeing Dante in old football pads and skates charging them with a lasso. Snaring one in his first try Dante laughed as the others tried to run away. Tying down the first in seconds the second and third goon didn't get far catching both with another lasso Dante skated around them until they dropped to the ground. Looking at the last man try to climb the gate Dante lassoed his leg and tugged him down to the ground. In seconds the guy was hog-tied and Dante went to make a call to the owner. As the owner pulled up Dante knew it wouldn't be long before the cops came too.

Dante, "Well sir I think my work here is done. You have the evidence and them so I'll be on my way". The owner nodded knowing Dante wouldn't stay. Handing Dante a roll of money he skated away happy to make money once again. Back at the small run down corner store Dante climbed the back fire escape. Pulling a board from the window then went inside. And was greeted by happy licks and barks. Dante, "Ok calm down I'm happy to see you both as well". Petting his canine friends Dante took off his gear and cranked the small scooter motor he had in the room. With several pipes hooked up around the room the pipes began to get hot. But thanks to the vent pipe Dante also had hooked up the motor didn't knock them out with exhaust foams. Warming their dinner Dante was happy that the two friends with him were ok after a year of not being with Glenn and Mitchel. Putting on Glenn's hat Dante knew that the two old men would never really be gone. Taking off his clothes until he was in nothing but his boxers Dante began to exercise.

Jumping jacks for twenty minutes, six minutes of sit-ups, and lastly a jog up and down the side stairs. With his workout done Dante went downstairs to once more work on the motorbike he built from hand. Sure he found all the parts from his now favorite junk dealers Ben. But the one thing he could say about the junk dealer was that he knew the difference between things that were really junk. And the things he could sell on the side for money. Taking out the welding torch Dante started to connect the back end to the pull cart he's been using nearly his whole life. With the smoke clearing Dante nodded at his work and once more went to work trying to get the engine to start. Pouring a little gas into the engine he used the kick pedal to try and give the old engine life once more. After five kicks the engine still refused to show any signs of life. Sighing Dante once more broke down the engine and to check what was wrong. Working late once again Dante called it a day went to sleep.

The next day Dante was out with Duke and Boxer looking for work. Looking at a flier Dante saw that the local gun range was offering one thousand dollars for anyone who could shoot twelve ducks from out of the sky. Walking all the way across and a little out of town Dante and friends found the gun store. With the sign up booth still up Dante walked over and asked, "Hey can I try for the contest"? Woman, "Sorry son only people with a gun license or permission from a guardian can participate". Sighing Dante chose to just watch instead. Sitting in the back Dante watched as several hunters walked out each holding their own gun. In time the contest began and Dante couldn't believe it the guys were missing so badly. Only one guy managed to get nine plastic clay decoys. Shaking his head Dante said, "Man someone help these guys can't hit anything". One contestant heard Dante looking at him to say, "Why don't you try and do better brat"? Dante, "I would but I don't have a license to compete". Another man said, "Hey you can borrow my license kid". Looking at the man he nodded as the handed Dante the flat plastic card the woman in charge allowed Dante to try. Taking a hunting shotgun Dante easily loaded the slugs into the gun and chambered the gun.

Dante, "Pull". As the first decoy went flying Dante locked onto it and took it out with ease done the same five more times after. Loading another full clip of six slugs Dante called for the next wave of decoys. Dante showed up the other contestants by taking out another six decoys with ease. Smiling Dante placed the gun down and walked past the men with a smile on his face. Thanks to his time with Glenn and Mitchel Dante knew his way around some guns. But before he left the winner of the contest said, "He son you ever tried trick shooting"? Dante, "No what's that"? Man, "The names James son and I would like to help you get even better at that little talent of yours". Dante, "Sure the names Dante I don't know what you're talking about but I know I'll have fun". Shaking the mans hand Dante and the trick shooter James were going to have a long talk. And they did in two weeks time Dante was in clean clothes and not as foal smelling as he was before. But he was doing gun tricks for anyone who would pay him to show them off. Dante even brought back some old gun tricks that many thought were long gone.

Dante was now was going to fire with his back turned. Holding nothing but a mirror Dante lined up his sights and took aim at the center of the target. With his silver long barrel handgun Dante opened fire. As all nine rounds connected with the wooden target Dante used the bullets to make a smiley face. Turning to the crowd they began to clap as Dante moved to his next trick. With Boxer and Dukes help Dante hand them start to tug a rope with a knot in the middle. Reloading his gun Dante opened fire hitting the knot with every shot until the knot gave. Duke and Boxer began to strut away with their share of the rope. Both knew that it was an act but they loved that they got a new chew toy at every show. For his last trick Dante was going to fire from his side as fast as he could. While someone from the crowd threw a hat into the air. A girl Dante's age was picked and she was giggling like crazy. Dante showed no interest in girls.

Its not that he didn't like woman just that Dante hated how girly some would act. Often either giggling too much or just asking him questioning that he didn't like. James, "Ok girl give it as good throw". The girl nodded and off the hat went. Dante honed in on the hat and shot every round into the hat with a smirk. The girl picked up the hat and was shocked at Dante's skill. Soon the shows announcer came out saying, "Lets give a big hand for Dante the lone shot"! Hearing the cheers Dante walked with James and his friends back to their camper. James, "Another great show too bad it'll be the last one for a while". Dante smiled to say, "Hey more time for me and the guys to relax. I want to thank you James going around to do theses shows have been fun". James, "Hey you showed me up at a gun contest and did it with style. No thanks needed you just opened my eyes".

While James was talking with the shows director while Dante was going over the newspaper. But he stopped at an article, 'Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria asking for night guard to watch the store'. A smile grew across Dante's face as James came back into the camper with the money. Seeing Dante James asked what it was he was reading. Dante, "My favorite place in the world is open James... I need to go home". Reading the article James remembered how Dante went on about his childhood friend Freddy Fazbear. Nodding James started the camper saying, "Next stop Honey County".

Jester; You all know what's going to happen but still leave a comment its not that hard. So anyway peace off.
