Part 2 of the big change, I left a cliffhanger at the end of the last one where the inspectors discover bodies in suits in the trash. You think they'll get lucky, but no...
Pirate's cove

"Okay Zero, let me guess," Mike started, "Fritz is digging more skeletons out of the closet?"
"No, we're getting shut down."
"Oh, okay, WAIT WHAT?" Everyone started yelling at once and Zero motioned everyone to calm down.
"I know this must be upsetting for everyone here, but at least we'll be moved to a different restaurant, this isn't the end of the pizzeria chain itself."
"Moved? How come we're not getting shut down?" Rochelle asked.
"Good lawyers, they managed to blame it on the building."
They all speak at once, but a little quieter this time.
"I just wanted to say that today me and Fritz will be packing up the animatronics, we'll be in the new restaurant by tomorrow."
"We already have a new restaurant?" Freddy asks.
"It was on hold, they knew it would happen eventually."
"What about me and Rochelle?" Mike questions.
"I've already got that figured out, I'll take you 2 in my car and hide you in the parts and service room. Also I almost forgot..." Zero threw a VHS tape on the floor, "You're lucky Fritz forgot to view this tape."
"What is it?"
"CCTV footage, most likely evidence of your little 'scavenger hunt'."
"Oh, well it's actually a clue hunt."
"That's not the point, when we get to the new location, it's gonna be harder to hide yourself, the manager is gonna spend thousands of dollars to improve security and, well, other stuff, it's even possible that they'll go 24 hours, but that's not likely."
"Who is this guy? Gets cctv footage, has thousands of dollars to blow on security for what exactly? But he runs a children's pizzeria instead of something worthwhile?"
"I wouldn't know ether, but Fritz will be packing as soon as he gets here."
Dinning room
11:58 pm
"Early are we Fritz?"
"Well you are, I usually come around now, actually, this is kinda late for me."
"Well, we should pack up now."
Without a further word, they both got to carrying the animatronics one by one, then putting them in a truck that was left outside. The moment Zero took Bonnie outside, he found Fritz on the ground, sleeping. He took the rest of them and brought out Mike and Rochelle.
They took a last stroll around the building, it had only been about a month, but they were going to miss it nevertheless. Then they gathered in the dining room again, Rochelle standing still from a small crush she was hiding. Mike starts their last conversation in the building, "So this is it I guess, we'll never see this place again."
"That's not it actually." Zero said nervously.
"What is it?" Mike didn't even sound like he cared, nothing could make him more depressed right now, at least he thought.
"I quit."
"WHAT!?" both Mike and Rochelle said in unison, they were too far to wake up Fritz.
"I know this is upsetting, but I don't even like this job, I just needed the money, but I found a calling, and I can't ignore it."
"I don't believe this, I've barely seen you, and this one time that I get to truly have a chat with you, and you go and do this!" Mike becomes visibly more upset then he was when the original bad new was given.
"Don't worry, I'll still take you to the building, I'll just be going after that."
"How are you going to tell the rest of the staff?"
"I'll leave a post-it note on the truck next to Fritz." Mike and Rochelle equipped their unimpressed faces, they were not impressed.
Ketchen
2:14 am
Chica walks in on Mike, who was rummaging through the fridge slowly, looking depressed.
"Hi Mike, what are you doing?" Chica questions with concern.
Mike stops focusing on the fridge, but doesn't snap out of his depression. "You know, just, having a snack before Zero finishes packing the other toppings, aren't you supposed to be in the truck?"
Chica looks down on the floor and closes the door behind her. "Zero's helping Rochelle into his car, and also, that's what I wanted to talk about, there's something I want you to know before we start a new life."
Mike thinks more about what they're talking about and closes the fridge. "Well it's not like..."
"You like me right?" She interrupts.
Mike looks up at Chica and faces her. "Of course, I like all you guys."
"No, I mean you, like, me... right?"
"Well, yeah, sorta, but it's not..." Chica shushes Mike and puts her finger to his lips, it slowly goes down as Chica moves to his ear to breath her voice into it.
"I like you too." Mike forgets he was sad and looks into her cold unmoving robot eyes.
This can't be right! What is this? I, robot? How can I want to kiss that iron beak so much?
She has the most unfeeling eyes I've ever seen on an animatronic, yet that can't stop my head moving towards her.
The door slams open, Mike opens his eyes and realizes he was about to actually kiss her, they both look. Rochelle stands in the doorway still holding the door, the blankest face that either of them have ever seen. A long stare makes everyone uncomfortable, but Rochelle just closes the door and the 2 look back at each other, but this time at a distance. Neather of them could say anything, Chica goes back to the truck, but Mike can't decide to forget that moment or chase after Rochelle. After some consideration, he walks out, deciding he was ready to go.
Outsite
2:43 am
Zero closes the truck and finds Mike leaning against the wall of the pizzeria. He helps him into the back seat of the car, Rochelle sits in the front next to where Zero sits down and turns on the engine. No-one has anything to say, so they all look past the truck with a sleeping Fritz at the last sight of the building they will never see again.
Lavender street
3:12 am
Zero pulls up across the street from the big building the restaurant will call home from now on, 'The NEW Freddy Fazbear's Pizza'. Mike gets out, walks a couple of steps into the rain that he never noticed started, then turned around at the unopen door in the front. "Rochelle?" The window winds down and Rochelle yells over the pouring rain, "I'm staying with Zero." Zero stares at his steering wheel trying his best to ignore the awkward moment that was about to take place.
"What?"
"I can't take this hiding anymore, I talked to him and he says that I could come with him."
"But, what about the others? What about your life?"
"Your life Mike, they're robots, I can't be around them alone with someone I barely know."
"If this is about before, I'm sorry."
"This isn't about that, this is about... all of this."
Mike thinks only for a moment before talking again, "This is about Zero isn't it, you love him don't you?"
Rochelle doesn't answer, but keeps her facial expression of indifference. Zero leans over and raps it up before anything else happens. "Be safe, don't get caught." the window winds up and Zero pulls away into the fog that the rain mimics, the lights can be seen and the sounds of screeching tires turning a corner can be heard one last time.
Mike stands in the rain for a while before looking back at the sign of the building, the animatronics can't be seen very well, but Freddy, Bonnie and Chica are definitely there, but no sign of Foxy, literally. Mike walks to the door and opens it up with a key Zero gave him and notices the clearly larger Reception area. He wipes his feet on the carpet and makes sure to dry his clothes the best he can without wetting the floor.
He locks the front entrance and walks into the stage area, a stage to the right, a small merry-go-round and arcade machines and tables to the left, and straight ahead is the room he knows he can be safe in, the parts and service room.
Let me remind you that the whole "Relationship" thing going on is only something to be a part of a situation or just to add more to the story, so there is no reason to classify this as a romance story. Also, if the order of the buildings confuse you, let me refer you to the theory by Matpat on Youtube's "Game theory." If you're too lazy to look, basically the building used in the first game was an old building from before the second game.
And yes, "Lavender street" IS a reference to Pokémon. And no, I'm NOT claiming ownership of the game OR the right to use it willy-nilly, but it's just ONCE, and also, lavender would be a good name for a street, despite previous uses of it like in that game.
