Uh, yeah… Kingdom, if you didn't really want this to happen, just… pretend it never happened, and read the next chapter, ok?

Sammy and Dottie stood around the table, looking at the cardboard. "Hmm, Dottie, why don't you put down an outline?"
"Sure." As she began to draw, she started to hum. Just then, thunder caused her to jump. She glanced around before returning to her drawing. She started to hum.
"…Hang on, I know that song…" Sammy searched the songs he'd downloaded. "Here it isss." He grabbed his acoustic guitar and began to play softly.
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
Dottie's cheeks became bright red. "That's my favourite song…" She said quietly. Sammy just smiled and continued playing.
And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
A loud crash of thunder caused Dottie to jump. Sammy put down his guitar and moved to her side; he could clearly see she was shaken. "Are you alright?"
"W-What was that?" She was actually shaking.
Sammy put his hand on her shoulder. "It's just thunder, no need to worry. Just a loud bang. Here," he picked his guitar back up, "Sssing along, it'll keep your mind off of it." Dottie nodded and started singing with Sammy.
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
"Better?" Sammy asked.
"Better." She put down her pencil. "There, done. You gonna help?" Sammy put his guitar on the table and picked up a paint brush.
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
They worked on the posters together. Whenever thunder hit, Dottie would flinch, but she concentrated on the song and immediately forgot.
'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
Sammy and Dottie finished the poster. They sat together listening to the rain as the paint dried. "I-I don't think the thunder scares me anymore, Sammy."
Sammy just smiled. "The posters are dry, Dottie. I think we should go give them to Mr Fazbear now."
"…Not yet. Can we just sit here? For a few more minutes?"
"Sssure, why not."
Don't worry, it's over now. The whole song thing makes sense to me. I mean, they're supposed to be a band, right? Anyway…
