Chapter 5: Mark's return and the unpleasant party

A/N Hello all, Thank you for all the reviews and likes for the last chapter, I'm glad you liked it. Just to let you know there is going to be a week break before you get chapter six. Its mine and hubby's fifth wedding anniversary and he's taking me away, but have been firmly told that I'm not allowed to take my laptop. Sorry. To make it up to you I've given you a little treat! Enjoy. Again a huge Thank you to Speedox12 for their hard work.

Matt was covering the day shift when he noticed some odd things. Every now and then the manager David seemed to try or did come to the back corridor to approach the animatronic called Chi only for the gold bear or Mike to come along and interrupt. The animatronic blue rabbit seemed to be practically stalking Mike and had his older bunny brothers drag him back to the stage. Also, when Freddy came out of wherever he had been with Goldie, he walked with a slight limp. The last thing he had noticed was that everyone, animatronic and human alike, liked Mike. His co-workers always had nice things to say about him, the kids and animatronics loved him and the parents, grandparents and family

members respected and thought highly of him. Even he really liked Mike, which was the weirdest of all since, well, he never really got on with anybody. He never really had any friends and his brothers were mainly all assholes. So why was it, that he felt he could talk to Mike about anything? That when Mike asked him to do something he was glad to help out, it was bizare. Mike was… at least in his opinion... amazing. He helped patch up young children and made them feel safe, the same with the animatronics and even built his own one as well. Mike also went out of his way to make sure he was comfortable and getting along ok as well as bringing him and Jeremy food and drinks now and again as well as patting him on the back telling him he was doing a good job.

All of his brothers and his mother had called when Tony had blabbed about him getting a job at the pizzeria, all telling him it was a bad idea, he was to sick and it was to much stress for him to handle. And that was where they were so laughably wrong. From the moment he enters the pizzeria to the moment he leaves, his teeth stop itching, he's actually happy and smiles a lot and could possibly have friends.

"Here Matt, I bought you a soda, I know how hot it can get in here." said Mike as he came into the small security room and handed the drink to him.

"Thanks Mike. That fan doesn't do much good."

"I know, I keep meaning to get a new one, so anything to report?"

"Nothing yet. There was only that big kid I told you about, but he and his gran left about fifteen minutes ago." he said as he flipped the camera screens.

"Yeah, Me and Foxy had a word with him about pushing the small kids over, I don't think he'll be doing it again, not after Foxy threatened him with walking the plank, not that he has one mind you." smirked Mike. "But how are you handling the double shift? How did last night go?"

"It was fine. Though I almost didn't close the door in time when… the puppet…?"

"Net."

"Net came down the hallway. He blends into the shadows so easily and if I hadn't heard the music box, he might have got in. Foxy still hasn't come out to see me yet…"

"He will, he's just so excited about the move in a few days you might have seen him talking to Freddy most nights, he's been asking him loads of questions about running his own place. Since you'll be working in the new pizzeria he will come and speak to you evently, he wants everything to be perfect."

"Oh boy." said Matt feeling the sweat drip down his back "Um... I didn't ask, but why have I been moved to the day shift?"

"Oh, yesterday I got a call saying that Mark was coming back to work and since he didn't finish his five nights last time, he's going to do it now. He'll be here soon and me and Freddy will be having a chat with him about his previous shift and what we expect of him by the end of the week otherwise we'll have to let him go."

"I thought he only fainted."

"Well yes,… but he also gave Freddy a lot of lip. Keep referring to himself by his old nickname "The king" which Freddy finds offensive and called Freddy... a care bear." Mike chuckled.

Matt also laughed and covered up his smile "Seriously? To his face?"

"Yep. Freddy got his own back by scaring the guy half to death, but still... we need the staff and only you and him applied to do the security guard job."

"Kind of glad about that, I love this job, protecting kids you know…"

"Yeah I get it. Their smiles are the best, even if all the screaming and shouting gives you a… excuse me." said Mike as he pulled out his phone and looked at his message, a look of disgust crossing his usually friendly features.

"Everything alright?" Matt asked in concern.

"Its nothing. Just my stalker" Mike muttered "Wish he'd leave me alone, but any how. I'm going to head to my office now, call me when… oh no!"

Matt turned to the screen Mike was looking at to see a tall man with scruffy hair, with a huge triumph grin on his face as he waved his arms in the air. "Who's that? And what's he saying?"

"That! Is our work coleague Mark and he's saying "The king is in the house." Better go and stop him before Freddy gets a hold of him."

"Either that of his friend dies of embarrassment." said Matt see a man standing behind Mike, looking very red faced by Mike's actions.

-Line Break-

"You know I think this is a good place for you Mark. You act as old as these kids are." said Wayne as he looked around the pizzeria.

"Yep, these are my people and I am their king." smiled Mark brightly "And here comes one of my knights now. Hey Mike! Thanks for your help the other night. The guys at the hospital said you rescued me."

Mike quickly shook Mark's hand and Wayne's before looking at Mark with a firm look.

"No Mark, the animatronics rescued you from the office and gave you the necessary first aid before summoning me over. You want to thank anyone, you need to thank them, mostly Foxy since he applied your bandaged head."

Wayne cracked up laughing "Dude! Seriously? Not only did you not survive two nights, the very robots that were after you, took pity on your sorry ass and patched you up. Better hang up your crown Mark."

"Shut up!" Mark snapped his face going red "The animatronics didn't get me, so it was a tie, Mike said so."

"I said it was a tie due to the fact that you fainted and the animatronics had to override the door to get you." smiled Mike, enjoying Mark's embarrassment.

"What? Oh Dude! you FAINTED? That wasn't what you told us!" laughed Wayne holding his sides "You told us it was an epic battle of fighting for your life."

"It was! The animatronics were trying to kill me!" Mark snapped as he slapped Wayne's arm "Come on! I'll show you."

Mark stormed over to the stage with Wayne and Mike behind him, the children turning their heads to watch as Freddy and the band finished their song.

"Freddy!" Mark shouted "Tell my friend Wayne what happened the other night!"

Freddy blinked at he looked at Mark, the other animatronics looking slightly worried at the bear and then at Mike who shrugged, he didn't know what to do either.

"Oh, isn't it my good gummy gumdrop friend Mark, I'm so glad you're back from the hospital, after your little boo boo on your head." said Freddy in an over friendly voice as he stretched his arms wide. "Come up here and give me our super friendship hug."

Mike clenched his lips shut and dug his hands in to his pockets as he struggled not to laugh at the shocked and slightly horrified face of Mark, while Wayne looked close to pissing himself.

"Awww. The teddy bear missed you." he said mockingly "Better go up there and get your hug Mark, you don't want to hurt his feelings."

Mark stayed rooted to the spot, his face going red as the children started to gather around, wondering why this lucky guy wasn't going up to the stage to get his hug.

"Mark? Don't you like me anymore? You said you loved me and that I was your friend." said Freddy sadly as he rubbed his eye, faking his tears.

"Mark? Why are you being so mean to Freddy? He loves you so much." said Chica "Is it because you haven't had anything to eat yet? I can make you a pizza."

"Or we can play hide and go seek again Mark, you really like playing that game, you're so good at it." added Bonnie smiling as he waved at the disgruntled guard.

Wayne had tears rolling down his face "These are the scary animatronics that are out to get you? What were they trying to do? Hug you to death?"

Mark looked like he was about to explode and it wasn't going to be pleasant, so Mike placed his hand on his shoulder and shouted out to Freddy and the others.

"Why don't we deal with this in my office? Freddy can you spare a few minutes and join us?"

The large bear nodded and started to make his way off the stage as Wayne patted Mark on the back.

"Well I've got to be heading back to work now, be sure to look after yourself Mark and don't let the big mean teddy bear, squeeze you too tightly." he said as he started making his way to the exit.

"Piss off Wayne! That bear is evil and I'll prove it." Mark snapped as he followed Mike to his office with Freddy in tow. Mike opened his office door, letting Mark and Freddy go in first before he followed and locked the door behind him.

"What the hell Care Bear? You just embarrassed me in front of one of my best friends." Mark snapped. "And who the fuck says good gummy gumdrop." anymore anyway! What are you senile?"

"I'm sorry for embarrassing you Mark, but since you were making a scene in front of the children, I was forced to act accordingly". said Freddy calmly as he folded his arms.

Mark blinked and back away slightly. "Mike the teddy bear is talking to me..."

"I'm not surprised, you did ask him a question Mark, he was bound to answer you." said Mike who gave Freddy a questioning look as the bear nodded. "He and the others are highly intelligent, the best of the best AI, you could almost swear that their alive."

"They why were they trying to kill me then?"

"They were not trying to kill you, scare you yes, kill no. Mark, over the years the animatronics have had to deal with a lot of shit and betrayal from humans, mostly from the guards. So they came up with a way to test them, if they survive five days without being "killed" then that guard gets to stay. By all rights since you lost, you shouldn't have been given another chance, but the animatronics disagree because it was because of the vent and not them. So they have decided to give you another chance. They will continue to come and see you as they did but you only simply have to shut the door and politely tell them to be on their way."

"And another thing Mark." growled Freddy as he walked up to the slightly taller human "There is only one king of Freddy Frazbear's pizzeria and that's ME!"

-Line Break-

One day later in the week, Mike invited Jeremy, Mark, and Matt out for a drink, mainly to discuss work hours, but to also see how the two new guards were holding up. The pub was quiet as it was still early, so the four men got a table easily as Mike got a round of drinks.

"So Mark, you haven't fainted yet, so I'm guessing you've gotten use to the animatronics?" smirked Jeremy.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Mark snapped "I swear they're out to get me. I get maybe a few minutes to catch my breath before three or four of them start coming towards me and don't get me started on that puppet thing."

Jeremy snorted as Matt looked confused at Mark "Really? I've had no problems, I said hi to them and asked them nicely to go and they do. Do you ask them to go?"

"Does "Go Away" and "Leave me alone" count?" Mark asked looking almost pleadingly at Matt, while Jeremy tried not to laugh.

"Erm… I think it might be better if you were a bit more nicer." said Matt as he took his drink off of Mike.

"I keep telling you Mark to tone it down. They think you're hilarious, screaming and panicking like that, the more noise you make the more likely they're going to wind you up." said Mike as he sat down. "It's going to be awkward enough as it is when the new place open up and neither they nor us know the lay out well enough. Foxy is so jumpy, he's starting to get so riled up about it his servos are freezing up and he's driving Freddy mad with his… god damn it." Mike muttered as he pulled out his phone and looked at the message.

"The Stalker?" Jeremy asked looking at Mike's face.

"Nah, my mom, not that she is much better. You still ok to cover my evening shift?"

"Not a problem. You leaving Shadow with Bonnie wright?"

"Speaking of which I got to ask you Mike, how come Shadow calls both you and Bonnie dad?" Matt asked "I ask because you said you built Sooty as well, but he calls Freddy... well he doesn't talk but you know what I mean."

"Well, I built Sooty just for Freddy who really wanted a cub, so I built it into his programing. While Shadow lives with me and use to just call me Mike until he met the other animatronics. Then Bonnie introduced himself to Shadow and told him to call him papa. Shadow then got confused about what to call me and Spring told him to call mama instead." Mike waited until the three men finished their sniggerling "That's when I put my foot down and told Shadow he could call me Daddy, but only when the store was closed."

"Aww that's so sweet. But what's this about you having a stalker Mike?" Mark asked

"That is a long story,… but…" Mike and Jeremy told the story about Mr. McBear and Dahl's history and how Dahl came personally to head hunt Mike to come and work at his theme park Critter County. How he had invited Mike and Jeremy to come to the park and see for themselves what the park was like. "But since then, he's been constantly texting me really odd texts, going on about his big surprise and others... are disturbing. If I didn't know any better I'd think he was flirting."

"Jeez and how old is this guy? fifty?" Matt asked as he wrinkled his nose.

"Closer to sixty. The man makes my skin crawl." said Mike as he took a swig from his drink. "Yeah anyway, that's why we call him Stalker, because he won't leave me alone. Ok, let's get back to why I called you here in the first place. Me and Jeremy have agreed to alternate on a weekly bases between the two restaurants, but you guys don't have to do that, if you don't want to and just stick to one pizzeria. The only time that might change is obviously when one of us go on holiday. Then the three remaining will have to take turns covering the shifts. So what do you two want to do?"

"If Mark doesn't mind, I'd like to mainly stay in the new place with Foxy, he's just my favorite animatronic." said Matt quickly.

"I don't mind staying at the old place, me and the care bear have a score to settle, we'll see who is really king!" Mark smirked as he ran his hand through his long tangled hair.

Jeremy snorted with laughter while Mike groaned "Mark, give it up, Freddy is the boss and if you keep calling him care bear you're going to invoke the wrath of Goldie and believe me you don't want that."

Both Mark and Matt frowned as they looked at each other then back at Mike "Who's Goldie?"

"Be grateful you don't know, but in any case he's the one the deals with the punishment of staff that break the rules of the pizzeria. Freddy is the leader of the animatronics, but Goldie is the pizzeria's protector. He's also Freddy's mate."

Mark burst out laughing but then noticed the serious look on Mike's face "What? Seriously?"

"Yep. Why do you think Freddy is always disappearing out the back for?"

"What, does he go up to Goldie and say "Inhale my dong." or something?"

Jeremy cracks up "More like Goldie says that to Freddy… ouch." he moaned as Mike elbowed him in the ribs.

"So, Matt is going to the new one and Mark is staying with Freddy. Because there are only four of us, there will be days you have to do double shifts, are there any days that aren't good for either of you?"

"No, I'm good, the only thing I've got coming up is my family barbecue." said Matt.

"Friday's no good for me, me and my friends are working on a game website on that day, kinda of a big project." said Mark casually.

"Wow, cool idea, but how can you afford the net on the money you're getting from this? Those connections cost a bomb." said Jeremy sitting up straight.

"We mainly all do it at one place and everyone pitches in for the connection and the web site." said Mark smugly "You watch, soon I'm going to be a huge celebrity, a voice in the gaming community."

"That's awesome Matt, I mean Mike,... Mark. Damn it." snapped Jeremy as the other three laughed "Why the hell have you all got to have "M" names anyway."

"Luck of the draw." "It was my mom's favourite boy's name." "Just the way it worked out."

"Still it sucks." Jeremy mutters as he took a large gulp of his drink.

"Hey having an "M" name just makes you awesome." said Mark "Your just jealous, we need to change your name… how about Marmite?"

"Piss off." snapped Jeremy as Matt and Mike joined in.

"I think Mouse suits him better, he is the shortest of us." said Matt

"Nah, with that hair, I say he looks more like a Monkey." joked Mike looking at Jeremy's scruffy hair.

"Go and get stuffed in a Freddy Frazbear suit." said Jeremy as he joined in on the laughter.

Mike looked in his mirror, trying his hardest not to throw up, as he looked at himself wearing a tux, smart shoes, his hair pulled back neatly with a handkerchief in his breast pocket. He felt stupid, like he was putting on airs he clearly didn't have and everyone was going to notice. And they will, it was like he had some kind of invisible label on him that read as "nothing", and anyone of his parents class could read it a mile away. Still he had promised and from Connie's last message, the trail was going well and she was probably looking at doing community service for a long while rather than go to jail. At least his father is keeping up his end of the bargain, now he had to keep up his, at least at the end of it he was going to the pizzeria. He was spending the night along with Jeremy who was on night shift as they were in charge of moving Foxy and his crew to their new home. His mobile rang twice before cutting off, which was his mother's signal to inform him they were downstairs waiting for him. He brushed his suit down again and left his apartment quickly, knowing his parents did not like to be kept waiting. The posh expensive car looked completely out of place, surrounded by old second hand cars and cars that had seen better days, the people walking in the street were craning their necks to have a look at. Mike could only cringe as he climbed into the back of the car and quickly fastened his seat belt.

"Hello Mom,… Sir."

"Hello Michael, I hope your ready for an enjoyable evening, it's a charity event for orphans." his mother said excitedly as his father started to drive.

"That's… nice." said Mike hopelessly, his stomach knotting as his nerves grew.

His father glared at him through the rear view mirror. "I trust you will be on your best behavior Michael and have your manners and wits about you, these are good friends and patrons of ours. I'm counting on you to make a good impression."

"Yes Sir." said Mike softly as he pushed himself back into the seat and looked out the window.

Jane fixed her make-up in the small mirror and used it to look over at Mike, noticing how down and unhappy he was, then glanced at her husband and his stern look and decided to keep quiet. Tonight was going to be stressful as it was without her rattling the cage before they got there. As they got to the posh looking hotel, a valet stepped up to open the door for them and to take the car to a parking spot. Mike followed his parents along the red carpet into the hotel, the bright lights and classical music filling the air. The room was huge and full of people in over priced outfits that would feed a small family. There was also rows of tables covered in food, enough to feed a whole village or small town, though none of them would be able to name any of the dishes. The classical music was being played from a twenty piece live orchestra, all dressed smartly, their faces grim. Mike followed his parents though the crowd, still pushing the overwhelming feeling of wanting to be sick. He could already see people staring at him, pointing, and whispering, their eyes following him around the room, weighing him up like he was some kind of meat.

A tall weed looking man with a large nose stepped up to his father, his hand out for him to shake.

"Daniel Schmidt, how nice of you to come, Jane you look radiant as ever. And who is this you have brought with you?"

"Mr. Banks, this is my son Michael, Michael this is Mr. Banks, a very high and respected Judge and the host the evening."

"An honor sir." said Mike as he shook the man's hand, feeling the sweat coming off of it and quickly pulled it away to wipe on his trousers.

"So this is your son." said Mr Banks in a snotty voice "The one that works in a fast food place? Finally dragged him out of there did you? Good for you" then to Mike "You have been a great disappointment to your parents young man, after all they've done for you, it's about time you started bucking up your ideas and started to make your parents proud."

Mike bit his tongue and clenched his fists as he darted his eyes towards his parents. His mother looked embarrassed while his father looked smug. The sweat host quickly made his way to annoy someone else, while Mike was about to make a quick escape by going to the toilet, hadn't his father spotted another acquaintance.

"Geoffrey." his father called out to an older looking man, who turned and smiled widely.

"Daniel, you old rogue, was starting to think you weren't coming". said Geoffrey as he shook his father hand and kissed his mother's.

"Sorry about that, we had to pick our son up, Michael this is Geoffrey Jobs, I hope I don't have to tell you who he is, Geoffrey, my son Michael." said his old man, in an over jolly voice as he pushed him forward towards the older man.

"It's a pleasure to meet you sir. I found your article about the latest peach software amazing." said Mike, blushing slightly.

"Why thank you. Most of the time when people met me they want to know when the new hardware is out. You understand tech talk Michael?" said Geoffrey curiously.

"I design and make my own software programs for…"

"Michael, let's not bore Mr. Jobs with your work with dolls, I'm sure he would not be interested." Mike's father said firmly, grabbing Mike's elbow to pull him back.

"On the contrary Daniel, it's always good to hear what…" Geoffrey was cut off when he was pushed slightly out of the way by a young boy that looked awfully familiar.

"Dr Mike!" he cried out as he hugged Mike's legs tightly.

"Tim? What are you doing here?" Mike asked as he pulled Tim away and knelt on the floor.

"I'm here with my grandparents. Aren't I grampa?" said Tim as he smiled up at Geoffrey.

"Yes you are little man and I thought I told you about running around the place?" said Geoffrey arching an eyebrow, with a slight smile on his lips. "So you're the famous Dr. Mike? Tim and my wife rant and fave about you and those robot things. Been told that their partially alive thanks to your upgrades. Your opening a new store as well ain't you?"

"Yes sir, Foxy's Pirate cove, you going to visit Tim?" Mike asked the small boy.

"Yep! I can't wait! Foxy is my favorite."

"Ah the wife is signalling me, come along Tim. Don't go disappearing on me though Michael, My wife has an idea about doing some fundraising with the pizzeria and she wants your opinion on it, we'll catch up later alright?" said Geoffrey as he led his grandson away.

Mike turned to his parents, his mother looking delighted while his father looked annoyed.

"Michael, you didn't tell us you were friends with Gill Jobs, that's wonderful. The Jobs are one of our best clients." said Jane as she clasped her hands happily, while his father crossed his arms, as he frowned at Mike.

"I hope your not bothering them with your silly dolls and ideas Michael. The Jobs are at the head of technology advancement, the last thing they would be interested would be those worthless ancient robots, though I suppose if they get you into Peach then all the better."

Mike clenched his fists as he glared at his father, rage burning in his eyes. How dare he! How dare he call his friends and family that! Then he saw his mother's worried look and inhaled deeply as he straightened up.

"I'm heading to the bar, tell any of your so called friends that if they want to insult me, I'll be up there not giving a sh... damn." said Mike as he stormed off. Jane sighed as she turned to her husband with an exasperated look.

"Daniel of all the stupid things to say! The Jobs know Michael because of those things and if they want Michael because of them then we should support it. You have to admit it would be better for Michael to be working with computers with them then forcing him into something he wants nothing to do with."

"I know Jane, but I don't want Michael embarrassing them and us with those things and us losing them at clients." said Daniel as he took Jane's hand "Now come on, we have a lot of people to catch up with, we'll check in on Michael later."

-Line Break-

Mike got slightly tipsy at the bar but not enough that anyone would have noticed. When he felt it was finally polite enough to leave, Mike called a cab and told his parents just to go home, as he didn't want to put them any further out of their way. His mother tried to persuade him to stay and his father practically ordered him to, but Mike told them he had to work early due to the opening of the new store. He told the cabbie the address and dozed off slightly as the cab drove through the night. He work up with a jolt when the cabbie shook him awake.

"Here you are,… but you do know this place is close right?" said the cabbie.

"Yeah, it's no problem, I work here. They're excepting me."

"Whatever you say mate." said the cabbie as he helped Mike out of the cab and asked for his fare. Mike gave it to him along with a generous tip and bid him good night. The cabbie was about to drive off when he noticed the pizzeria doors opened before his ride got there and a scary looking thing greeted him with a hug and then stare at him with it deep black eyes. He hit the accelerator as hard as he could and left skid marks in the car park. Net walked Mike into the pizzeria, guiding him around the tables in the dark, smiling slightly at the way Mike was swaying.

"Where is everyone? Did Shadow go in to recharge ok?" Mike asked as he waved at the camera "Is Mark behaving?"

"No point in waving Mike, he's fast asleep, I think Goldie slipped him something." said Net as he used his tentacles to reach into the kitchen and got Mike a glass of water. "Here drink this, it will help clear your head and as for Shadow, he stayed up a bit later with Sooty to watch movies with the others and fell into recharge with Sooty holding him. He was really worried about you, said he didn't want anyone picking on you."

"He's sweet, isn't he?" said Mike as he sipped his water and took off his jacket and bow tie.

"Could have done with him tonight really, just to keep my moral up, My dad is such an asshole, not just talking me, but you guys as well, had my mom not been there…"

"You don't get along with your parents Mike?" said Net in surprise.

Mike never mentioned his parents, though he remembered seeing a stern looking woman coming to see him once here in the pizzeria, Bonnie didn't like her and he was usually a good judge of character.

"More my dad then my mom… it's like we're from two different worlds. My parents were setting up their law firm when I was growing up, so my nan on my mom's side, raised me until she died. My nan was a really down to earth woman, loved to cook and sew, taught me how to do it. She was the one that use to bring me here and any other outings and holidays. My parents only got involved when school reports came and I "didn't met their expectations."

Then when nan passed away, I mainly stayed in the house on my own, except for the housekeeper, a nice enough lady, but not my nan you know. Whenever I was with my parents they use to keep correcting my grammar, my posture, the way I looked and dressed. They kept expecting me to join their company and be a lawyer like them. But I had my own dreams… though they have changed now,... but I'm happy with my life right now, but they're not. They thought if I go to these high class parties, I might want to become a snob like them, work only for money and status. They can get stuffed!" Mike snapped. "You guys and the kids are worth more than any of that lot."

Net smiled brightly as he wrapped his arms around Mike tightly, resting his head on top of Mike's head. "That's why we all like you Mike, your a good person, with a kind heart. You also have the most wonderful hands, both as an engineer and a lover. Mike… have you ever... ever considered... being an animatronic?"

Mike frowned as he leaned against Net's body as Net sat them both down. "Well... no not really… had a really bad nightmare once about getting stuffed into a hot pink bunny suit."

"But if you had a choice… a choice to be an animatronic… would you like to be?" Net asked stroking Mike's hair.

"Well,... I guess I wouldn't mind. You guys live a long time as long as you're looked after right. You get to play with kids all day and no one judges you for it. I know I wouldn't want to be a bear and I think there is too many rabbits here as well. Maybe a fox... or a human type… or a Harlequin type. Not that it matters, it's like that can really happen right?"

Net said nothing as he hugged Mike tighter to him, his tentacles sliding up Mike's shirt and rubbing his muscles, helping him to relax. Mike smiled as he felt Net's tentacles against his skin.

"I love the feel of your tentacles Net, they're so soft, even cuddly." said Mike as he grabbed one of them and bought it up to his mouth and started to kiss and suck on it. Net shivered all over, the warm moist from Mike's mouth sucking him, sent please though out his mainframe. He rested his face against Mike's neck, licking and kissing it, as the rest of his tentacles went to work, stripping Mike off his clothes. Mike moaned as he bought another tentacle to his mouth and started to work on that when he noticed he was naked.

"Hey… where did my clothes go?" he asked as he looked around and saw that they were folded badly on another table.

"I thought I would speed things up a little…" Net smiled as his tentacles wrapped around Mike's legs and arms.

"You know Net… it's great to get fucked by you... I really enjoy it, but tonight I think I'd much prefer to fuck you right now." said Mike as he turned on Net's lap to face him and pushed him down on to the table.

Net felt his systems almost imploding at how forward and dominate Mike was being. Mike's hands were rubbing up and down his torso and then his groin area to his rear.

"Net… do you have a port I can jack myself into?" Mike asked as his hands rubbed and poked Net's rear.

"I... I... I do,... but I've never used it…" Net gasped, his usually white face was now bright red as Mike rubbed his body up against his, warning lights flashing everywhere inside of him.

His "port" as Mike called it was the most sensitive area of his whole body. He could lose control of his tentacles and smash up the pizzeria or worse hurt Mike in the process, yet he was finding it increasingly hard to say no. Suddenly Mike cupped his masked face and forced him to look up at him, causing his pump and his systems to stop. Mike was looking down at him, his eyes filled with a warm and caring look with his long hair around him, with a small kind smile on his lips that was reserved for only him.

"Net, I promise I won't hurt you, you know I love you right? So please trust me." said Mike as he leaned down and kissed Net on his clay lips, pushing his tongue into the small open slit.

There was a slight crash when Net's tentacles started to wave about furiously, knocking over chairs and tables, as Net gave in and opened his back port as his cock emerged from his fount one. Mike traced the opening with his fingers before he pushed one of them in followed by another.

"Damn, your so tight Net, my fingers can barely move." Mike muttered as he wiggled his fingers inside of the puppet. Net gasped and moaned, his insides were on fire, his processor was almost shorting itself out and that was just from Mike's fingers. Mike pushed more of his fingers in, not wanting to hurt Net when he entered him with his cock, but he was still too tight. So Mike started to rub Net's cock with his free hand, trying to get the puppet to relax and loosen up. Net's voice box cracked out a high pitch as he arched his body, his tentacles thrusting about, knocking things over and one even going through a stone pillar.

"Mike! Too much!" he wailed as he lifted his hips in time with Mike's hand.

"No it's not." Mike said softly "It's going to get a lot better than this."

Net body shivered at the thought, better than this? He doubted he could handle it, but then Mike removed his fingers from his port and pressed his cock against him.

"Mike... no... I'm... I'm going…" Net moaned as he released his fluid onto Mike's torso. Thick oily tears streamed down his face "I'm sorry Mike, I wanted…"

"Hey you still can right? You haven't released all your fluid?" Mike asked as he rubbed the tip of Net's spent cock.

"...N…n…no."

"Then it's ok." said Mike as he thrusted his hips, pushing his cock in to Net's small tight port, causing the puppet to cry out.

Net's hard drive and processor were shutting down, his pump was going wild, the sensations were shooting through his body like live wires. Mike's talented fingers wrapping his cock, rubbing it back into hardness, as his cooling fluid started to pool there at the base, building pressure. He wrapped his arms around Mike's shoulders, his legs around his waist, his tentacles around Mike's arms and legs. Mike muttered his name over and over again into his small listening device, grunting as he pushed deeper into him. The pressure was getting too much, his CPU felt like it was about to short out, his tentacles tightening their grip on Mike's body. Suddenly it was like an explosion of color in front of his optics, a tsunami of electrical currents followed though his body, all the pressure was gone leaving his fount empty but his back deliciously full of Mike's cum. Then he started to fall into emergency recharge as Mike collapsed on top of him.

Net slowly woke up, according to his internal clock an hour later, with Mike fast asleep on top of him. Net felt wonderful worn out as he used his tentacles to lift himself and Mike over to his box, for some well earned rest. He ran his hand through Mike's hair and looked down at his handsome face. Thinking back to their earlier conversation, he was truly surprised that Mike didn't get along with his human family, mostly since Mike seemed to get on with everyone. Does that mean that… would Mike be happier if he was one of them? He didn't seem to against it and the idea of a beautiful Harlequin puppet was a nice one. Yet... the joys of creation was a punishment... it was for bad people that harm the pizzeria. Like those nasty children, wherever they were now, most likely wondering around in some abyss. No, Mike had done nothing wrong and probably would not remember their conversation from tonight, as he climbed into his box with Mike and slowly closing the lid.

"Still." he thought wrapping himself around Mike "It's tempting."
