It felt rather empty without the other technicians in the rehearsal room, but Saphira was not complaining. She set everything up to ensure that she would be able to find anything wrong with the instruments and such while the animatronics play. They were waiting on the rehearsal stage for Saphira to be ready, they all knew it would take a little longer since Saphira was alone this time. However, Saphira was looking forward to the rehearsal. She considered it a private viewing of the show, even if it was not as spectacular as the main event. Saphira sighed when she glanced at the equipment, making sure it was right before glancing up at the animatronics.

"Sorry for making you all wait, but I am ready now," Saphira said with a confident smile. She pressed a few buttons, preparing to play the music for them. "I look forward to hearing the song, I am sure it will be as awesome as the other lyrics I already have heard."

"About damn time!" Roxy said impatiently, grinning at Saphira with a wink. "Fire it up!"

"Enjoy it super star!" Freddy said to her with an enthused smile, holding his microphone ready to sing the song.

Saphira pressed the button to play the music, and the theme song immediately sounded from the speakers, filling the room with the music and she watched as the animatronics begin to play their instruments. She glanced at the tools for a moment to see it was running smoothly for the moment and she smiled, that was a good sign. She looked back at the animatronics as they play their music and Freddy dances, he glances to her and winks at her, making Saphira blush slightly and roll her eyes at him, letting him know he should not distract her. He didn't react to her as he lifts the microphone to his mouth to begin singing.

"I can be your superstar!

We're electric charged tonight,

Like the amp on our guitars!

And sparks are really starting to fly!

Welcome all superstars, oh do come on inside,

Our song lacked soul, but you played the part

For so long, we've been longing to find.

You got me feelin' awful hungry for love,

I promise I'm not gonna bite!

And despite our claws, and our shiny jaws,

You can bring out our acoustic side."

Already starting out wonderfully. Saphira kept a close eye on the tools while also beginning to dance in her seat, enjoying the song and the music, humming along to it as she very much enjoyed the tune of the song, especially as the others would start to sing with Freddy as well.

"Oh, look who I see it's all our brand-new friends,

Already to join in our party time,

With cake, pizza and balloons, stepping in with our tune,

Time to bring down the house over and over again!

Come make new friends tonight!

Then you can grab a bite,

With Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Monty,

Last but not least Roxy and Captain Foxy,

The party was over, but you're gonna throw it again!

Let's throw it over and over and over again!

It's our show and you know that it won't ever end!

Let Mr Hippo's stories send you off the to moon,

Cause the party isn't over for you!"

Saphira smirked at the new line for the main chorus. It fit well, she herself had yet to even hear any of Mr Hippo's stories. She did wonder what they were like. He came off as a very wise person, after all, he seemed to have a lot of knowledge regarding Dave and the virus.

"The pizzaplex is full of fun,

While you're here, you're the number one!

We strive to make you smile and laugh,

With bowling, racing and Fazerblast,

Oh, the fun just never ends til you drop!

Drink Fizzy Faz for energy,

While Foxy takes you out to sea,

The stories he has will make your mind go super wild!

Nevermind, allow us to bring you back to the floor,

Where we all have just one chore,

To make you the number one super star

Who will rock until the end!

After all it was you who lit a spark in our hearts,

And now the party is starting all over again!

Come make new friends tonight!

Then you can grab a bite,

With Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Monty,

Last but not least Roxy and Captain Foxy,

The party was over, but you're gonna throw it again!

Let's throw it over and over and over again!

It's our show and you know that it won't ever end!

Let Mr Hippo's stories send you off to the moon,

Cause the party isn't over for you!"

Saphira rests her elbows on the desk in front of her, glancing at the tools again, everything was still in the green and she had her confidence everything was okay. The animatronics were playing and singing really, really well. And she was thoroughly enjoying the new additional lyrics to the song.

"Will you join Monty with his songs?

Race Roxy to reach first-place prize?

Our friend Freddy parties all day long,

While Chica serves up a pizza storm for life!

Throw it over and over and over again,

Head to Bonnie Bowling, you know it won't end,

With Mr Hippo's stories, he's done it again

Bringing wisdom and joy to all who hears him,

Time to join our party again, there's no more time to pretend!

Come make new friends tonight!

Then you can grab a bite,

With Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Monty,

Last but not least Roxy and Captain Foxy,

The party was over, but you're gonna throw it again!

Let's throw it over and over and over again!

It's our show and you know that it won't ever end!

Let Mr Hippo's stories send you off to the moon,

Cause the party isn't over for you!"

Saphira applauded the animatronics as the music cuts off, smiling and giving them a thumbs up that the rehearsal was a success. They were all very thrilled about that, while Roxy acted as if she already knew this was a success as usual. Saphira made notes that the rehearsal was a success, and it was not necessary to do more for the night.

"What did you think Saphira?" Bonnie asked as he walked over, looking at her as she finished off what she needed to do. "Some of the lyrics are a bit new, especially regarding Monty's performances, but the rest were pretty much used before."

"I thought it was excellent, I cannot wait to hear it tomorrow night," Saphira responded with a smile, turning her head to Freddy as he approached her. "Excellet singing Freddy. Someday soon I will memorize the song enough to sing along to it."

He chuckled soflty at her. "I am glad that is a goal of yours."

"Hey lass!" Foxy said to her in a very excited tone as he ran over to her. "Am I getting' me new wrist on tonight?"

"Yes, of course, be patient Foxy. I got to get down to Parts and Service, and overlook the blueprint and wrist itself too before I let you know when you can come down. I know you're excited, and you can practice playing your piano once it is finished. But please, don't rush me." Saphira chuckled at him, standing from the chair and stretching slightly. "I am afraid, these things take a little time."

"Aw…okay…I will be eagerly waitin' to hear you tell me it is ready Saphira," Foxy said hopefully, his tail was wagging showing how excited he was. "I wanna try out some new moves with it. Maybe for a new recordin' for the show."

Saphira chuckled at him gently, she didn't want to give him a false promise of a time that she was not yet sure of. "First thing's first I need to get ready. Go and practice your piano or hang out with one of the others while I do that."

"Fine…" Foxy turned his head towards Freddy and lifts his eyepatch, and to Saphira's surprise, he had a blue eye under the eye patch. She was surprised he had one yellow and one blue, she wondered the significence of that was. "Don't be distractin' the lass please."

"Oh, I won't, I promise," Freddy responded, sounding confused that Foxy thought he would distract Saphira.

"Mmm, hmm…I know what it is like to have such a pretty lass around and lovin' her Freddy. I am not blind." The bear animatronic still seemed confused, glancing to Saphira who simply shrugged and turned to leave the rehearsal room. "You are goin' with her right?"

"Yeah…I'll recharge down at Parts and Service. I promise to not distract her…like whatever it is you are saying." Freddy turned away from Foxy to follow Saphira, his ears twitch slightly hearing Saphira's laughter and that confused him even more. "Why do I get the feeling I am being made fun of?"

"We are allowed to tease you are we not?" Chica asked with a giggle. "But we all know how special Saphira is. You hurt her, you have all of us to answer to."

"Most definitely, the young lady's family has her back." Saphira glanced over her shoulder at Mr Hippo who gave her a thumbs up. "After all, if we don't do it, who will?"

She giggled, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. They were acting like they were teasing Freddy now that it was out that she and him were in a relationship. It was fine, they were just teasing after all. "Don't mind them Freddy, just laugh along and it will be fine. If anything, I will be the reason why Foxy does not get his new arm."

"I guess so…but if I am being too distracting, do let me know Saphira. I don't want Foxy being mad at me, I would feel horrible." Freddy glanced back at the door as they walk to the atrium away from the rehearsal room.

"I know, I would feel horrible too. But, I do not think it would take too long anyway." Of course, Saphira was just assuming, she would need to see the blueprint and arm before being confident on that. "Also, I would rather not be along in Parts and Service, that I am sure everyone knows at the moment."

"Of course. Even with Dave gone, we are still unsure of Moon and what he might try to do to you if you are alone. I don't think it is completely over." No it was not, but Saphira did not want to mention what happened in the office earlier. After all, as far as she knew, this was going to be a calm period. And she also wanted to see if it was just a bluff too. "But if it is over…we shall see on that."

Saphira nodded as they walk onto the stage and she pressed the button to lower the life. She turned her head to look at him with a smile. "Can I ask you something?" Freddy nodded with a curious smile. "Do you know any other songs?"

"Of course I do. We all do, we can sing any song that has been recorded by human singers. Why do you ask? Is it because me thinking of a song is not necessary?" Freddy did not know if Saphira did not want him to try think up a song for her, although as he did not know anything about lyric writing, he didn't know if it was possible. Still, he worried that Saphira did not want him to try, but she shakes her head to his second question. "I suppose there is a song you would like me to sing right? I get song requests all the time."

Saphira thought about that for a moment and shrugged. "I think I would rather you pick the song. If you were ever going to sing to me, I would rather it be a surprise. There are so many songs out there about love and romance…"

"Romance?" She blinked in surprise when Freddy interrupted her about the word. "I have heard that word before. It's another word for love is it not?"

"Yes, but it is rather the description of specific expressions of affection and…" Saphira paused for a moment and felt her cheeks heating up again. "And…intimacy."

He listened to her quietly, still seemingly very intrigued upon hearing what Saphira had said. "So…when we kiss and hug, that is romance?"

"Yes, it is romantic and expression of love. You giving me those plushies, are also considered a sign of romance. And if you sing to me…again, another romantic thing." She turned to walk towards the ramp once the lift reached the lower level and Freddy followed her.

"And what is intimacy than? I assume it is…something special?"

She shuddered a little, her breath hitched slightly as she did not know how to describe it to Freddy, considering his innocence to it all. "Oh yeah…very, very special. Umm…but…it…it's kind of hard to explain…"

"Is it?" Freddy sounded very surprised by that. "I don't know what it is either."

"I know…you, um, you have really only tried a relationship once before and it didn't go further than probably just general kissing and hugging…" She grimaced a little, she heard Freddy tilting his head again, she knew she would have to explain the further part in someway. "And I also have never had a boyfriend, so…I have…no idea what it is like either."

Freddy hummed softly, glancing towards the recharge station and stopping, rubbing his chin gently. "What is further than hugging and kissing then? Is it something that Bonnie and Monty do? Hmm…maybe Foxy and Foxette when they were together…I could ask them…"

"NO!" Saphira snapped, turning to face him with wide eyes, surprising Freddy. "I…I mean…yes, it is something that they do…and did with Foxy and Foxette…uhhh…" She waved her hands in front of her face as she felt very hot, it was so awkward and embarrassing just talking to Freddy about it and not going into in depth detail about it. "Bonnie and Monty told me they figured it out with each other…"

"And we could too?"

"Y-Y-Yes…b-but…" She swallowed, feeling very nervous all of a sudden, her heart was racing like it would burst from her chest right now. "B-B-Be…uhh…b-bec-cause I have…we are considered virgins…mostly b-b-because we h-h-have never been intimate with anyone."

Freddy observed Saphira, he saw she had become nervous rather suddenly and that worried him. He did not know if speaking about them both figuring out this intimacy was the reason, but it was the only thing that seemed to make her nervous. He did not know if he too should feel worried about it. He did not know how big of a deal it was yet, but he was getting the sense that it was a big step forward.

He stepped forward and he saw Saphira stiffen suddenly, she had not done that for a long time. "Does…does this frighten you Saphira? If it does, I apologize. We don't have to. I am happy we both just love each other as we do now. We don't need the rest."

She smiled at him, he was so kind! She felt bad for making him worry, but she knew all of this was a big deal to her. "Look Freddy…this kind of…thing…it…" She glanced away from him, feeling shy rather sudden from him. "Intimacy…it is n-n-not…something that should…just happen. It happens…when we…uhhh…f-f-feel ready. Ready for that next step."

"Oohhh, I see…I did not realize. I apologize."

"Don't Freddy, you didn't know. Hell, you don't have this knowledge programmed into your system, so I don't expect you to know at all." Saphira stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist gently, resting her chin on his chest and looking up at his eyes. "I trust you wholeheartedly Freddy. I know you won't hurt me…not intentionally. So…please don't go asking them question. I think it would just be a bit too awkward if you knew what happens."

He wrapped his arms around her and lifts her up, pressing her against his chest and kissing her gently. "Hearing you tell me that, is music to my ears. Of course, I prefer hearing you tell me that you love me. But your trust in me…that means a lot. I don't think anyone has said that before."

She giggled at him. "You have not let me down Freddy. Not once. If anything, you have exceeded my expectations. I expect that to keep happening spontaneously. And I know you will sing a song to me when you decide on one to surprise me with."

"Heh…I need to figure that out. After all, it seems I am good at this romance thing." She giggled again and nodded, she definitely did not disagree and she was going to find everyway she could to do the same in kind. "Well, I think I have distracted you long enough. I need to recharge. Foxy is waiting after all."

She feels her feet back on the ground as Freddy lowered her back to the ground and turned away, walking to the recharge station. She watched him walk away and she felt a little bad that he did actually distract her. But not because they were kissing or touching each other's bodies, but rather he had questions that needed answering. Of course, she was sure he had a lot more questions now, but they were to be answered at some point in the near future.

She looked away from Freddy and entered Parts and Service, smiling as she glanced around the place and looked around for the blueprint files and Foxy's wrist. It took a few minutes to find, and she also found the blueprints for all the animatronics, their scent receptors and new eyes to make them immune to the flashes of the Faz Cams and lasers of the Fazerblaster. She hummed, she decided to look over the animatronic blueprints while looking at the arm blueprint. She found Foxy's new wrist too and took a seat to check it out first, looking it over and glancing at the blueprint multiple times to make sure it was correct. And from what she could tell, it was, but she wanted to be a hundred percent sure that it wouldn't be a mistake to add it to Foxy tonight.

"Is the wrist going to be functional for Foxy?" Freddy asked as he entered the room, walking towards the table and glancing down at the blueprints. He didn't fully understand them, he knew they were important and he had noticed his own blueprint, but he didn't pay much attention to them. "Shall we inform Foxy he can come down here yet?"

"Mmm, shortly. I am making sure it is a hundred percent at the moment." Saphira pulled out her small flashlight to turn on and shine over the endo part, she moved the hand and hook around on the wrist, making sure it could move around fine and that the hook could rotate on the wrist when locked in place. "Seems fine…but to be honest, we won't know until I actually attach it to Foxy. Hopefully this is not going to be a mistake."

"It should not. Shall I let him know?"

"Hey, I'm the technician here." Saphira smirked at him, standing from the table and walking over to the computer to turn on the Protective Cylinder, hearing it come to life ready for the animatronics. "You are just my patient. Well…not tonight you are not of course."

Freddy chuckled softly at her and nodded. "Very well. I will keep my hands claw of it."

She hummed softly as she finished prepping the protective cylinder and lifts her wrist, pressing the buttons of the Fazwatch. "Okay Foxy, you can come down to Parts and Service now. The wait time is over."

"Finally! I have a headin'!" Foxy exclaimed through the Fazwatch excitedly. "I'm settin' sail now Saphira!" She giggled at him softly as she knew he was toying with her. "I will brin' me piano to test out the new wrist too."

That was a good idea. Saphira didn't not think of that, so she did not disagree with him. She and Freddy patiently wait for the animatronic to arrive at Parts and Service, they both knew it would not take long. Saphira saved some time by going into Foxy's file on the computer and clicking the upgrade file to begin the log. She was surprised when it gave her different options and selected arm, and the door opened, waiting for the animatronic to enter.

"Argh! The captain has arrived!" Foxy announced loudly, dancing towards the stairs excitedly, holding his piano in his arms. He gasped when he saw the cylinder was already open and ready. "Ye work quick Saphira! Great work lass!" He jumped down the stairs, surprising Saphira as she worried he would damage his legs and the piano, but he seemed fine as he placed the piano down on its legs and walked briskly into the cylinder. "Are ye helpin' Saphira Freddy hmm?"

"Oh, no, I am not a technician. It's just your arm Foxy, I am not needed like I was for Bonnie." Freddy smiled at the Foxy as the animatronic sat down on the chair. "This is not an emergency."

"And I thought ye would wanna help yer mate, mate," Foxy teased, chuckling softly and Saphira rolled her eyes, smiling at him as she stepped in holding the new wrist. He glanced down at the wrist with a smile. "Ye sure it will work."

"I didn't make it, so I hope it will based off the blueprints," Saphira said as the door of the cylinder closed. She pulled the console down, she did a quick scan as it seemed protocol to do before anything. "If not, I'll tweak it tonight to see if I can fix it."

"He, he, probably won't take long for ya!" Foxy looked down at his old hook with a smile, rotating it on the wrist and hoping it would work. "At least I won't have the trouble of exchangin' my hook and hand anymore."

"That is true. But we will see when I attach it Foxy." Saphira was pleased the scan results were clean and had the casings removed on Foxy's arm, she might only need the wrist part, but it was best to have the rest of it clear. "Alright, I am going to apologize now for any pain you will feel."

"I know, I know…but it won't hurt much once the wrist is detached," Foxy said, waving his hand casually, waiting for Saphira to begin. "Don't be wastin' too much time lass."

Saphira smiled and pulled down the tool tray to get to work on detaching the wrist from the arm. She had her small flashlight in her mouth like she always had to keep a close eye on her work. She first removed the wire connections as that would prevent as much pain as possible. Foxy flinched slightly when the wire connections were detached, but he does not protest at all, he did watch out curiosity as watching Saphira work was a privilege. Especially after watching how she fixed both Bonnie and Monty.

Saphira pulled out the flashlight from her mouth for a moment and glanced up at Foxy. "If it is okay with you, would you mind telling me what Foxette was like?" The fox blinked in surprise at the question from Saphira. "I assume you knew her the best."

She looked back down to finish releasing the wrist from the attachments while waiting for Foxy to respond. She sensed his hesitency, she knew it was probably a painful thing to talk about, but she hears him sigh loudly. "I don't know where to begin…that lass was a very beautiful fox. Not just on the outside. She was kind, gentle, and she loved to play the drums in the show. The drums ye hear in the music, is all from her." Saphira nodded, understanding that was the case. "Buuut, anyone got on her badside, and she let ye know it. He, he…ehh, Bonnie got a mighty swipe to the face when he teased her about some kind of dance she was learnin'…I don't remember what it was." Foxy's ears twitch when he heard Saphira gasp as the old wrist nearly fell to the floor when it was released and she placed it down and moved the new wrist to the elbow to attach. "He never did that again. Foxette was the storyteller before Mr Hippo. She used to talk about Cinderella, Snow White and other fairytales, along with little stories to encourage kids to be kind to each other. She was the best lass anyone could ask for…I…I didn't ask her for her heart for so long…I regret not askin' sooner."

Saphira smiled sadly, Foxy had regrets regarding Foxette. She sounded like she would have been a great character to meet. She did not know if Foxette's endo was in one of the cages or not, but she had not checked all of them. But…it made her think about herself and Freddy. Maybe they did admit their feelings to each other before a month, it might be considered fast in a sense, but Saphira felt as if she has known them longer than nearly two weeks.

"And then…it happened…" Saphira nearly looked up when Foxy mentioned what happened to Foxette. She didn't want to probe about that, but she didn't need to. "She and I, we were at Kid's Cove, playin' with the kids. Only, she suddenly began twitchin', a cry came from her mouth that I never heard before. It scared me and the kids. I tried to snap her out of it, I tried callin' Cliff, but for some reason, I could not. She collapsed…but she was still twitchin', probably tryin' to keep the virus out…if it was the virus. When she finally looked at me, her eyes…they were not kind…they turned red…" Foxy sighed sadly as he remembered that day. "The kids had already evacuated, but…she was gone. I think…she did not respond to me when I spoke to her…she spoke, no, whispered somethin' I did not understand. And she ran…I followed her through the pizzaplex, I forgot my duties to the guests…but she ripped off the hand casings." Saphira had a hard time concentrating as she listened to Foxy, but she had managed to attach the new wrist and she was now working on the wiring. "She ran faster than she ever had before…straight into the utility tunnels…" Those tunnels seemed to be filled with dread. "I tried to follow her…and I found her…after I heard some piercin' scream…it still rings in me ears today. And I found her…by a garbage compactor…I saw red liquid dripping from her claws…and teeth…and chest…" Saphira felt herself shudder, trying not to picture that, but it was hard not to. "I saw no one else…but…she could have got rid of the body. Two children had gone missin' that day…I realize now what happened…but I hate to think of it. She…I had to hold her until Cliff finally arrived and took her here. It was than found her system was too corrupted, there was nothin' left of Foxette…no memory, no personality…just the desire to kill…"

Saphira felt tears in her eyes, this could have happened to Mr Hippo…and he managed to beat it somehow. She looked up at Foxy sadly and wiped her tears away. "I am so sorry Foxy."

He smiled kindly at her and lifts his eye patch again. "Thankfully, she is still part of me in a small way."

She glanced at the blue eye, she thought Foxette had different eye colours, but maybe it was just the plush and painting of the Shy Foxette bar. It was rather bittersweet that Foxy still carried a piece of Foxette with him. She sighed, glancing back down at the wrist and finishing connecting the wires so that Foxy could try to use it once diagnostics were complete.

"Okay, your new wrist is connected Foxy, I will run the diagnostics, put the new casing on and we will see how it goes," Saphira said as calmly as possible, placing a hand on his new wrist. "Thanks for telling me. You did not have to."

"I know…Foxette would have liked ye too." Foxy covered his blue eye with the patch and looked up at the roof thoughtfully, and Saphira was sure he was thinking about his beloved Foxette. She hoped she could maybe bring her back, if she could find a way to flush out the virus and return the memories and personality.

Saphira walked over to the console to begin the diagnostics, concentrating as she did so. She knew Freddy would have heard Foxy's story, she did not know how much his heart would heart knowing what happened to Foxette and what she was forced to do. If she was able to fix Foxette, she hoped that memory of the children would not be there. She did not need to know about that.

"Oakie, doke…the diagnostic is finished." She smiled slightly as she made the announced and pressed buttons to put the new casing on. She looked over to Foxy and watched the arms above attach the casings. Foxy lifts his arm curiously. "Well…give it a try?"

Foxy stared at the new hook and smiled when he was able to rotate it like he could with his old wrist. Next, he concentrated on rotating the wrist to swap the hook for the hand. It took a moment before it spun around and Foxy flexed his fingers. He smiled, it was a great success!

"Argh! Ye did great matey!" Foxy exclaimed, winking at Saphira thankfully. "Now, gotta test these on the keyboard!"

Saphira giggled softly and walked out of the cylinder to finish the repair log. She was happy that the wrist was working fine. She would check it after the main show anyway when she did the maintenance on them after the show. She did realize that she would need to skip her security duties on the show nights to do the maintenance on the animatronics in her work time. That was not horrible though, not dealing with people was a bonus. Saphira glanced at Freddy, he had a very sad expression on his face and she knew he had heard Foxy. When Foxy walked out of the cylinder, the bear animatronic placed a hand on the fox's shoulder to give his condolences and understanding, and promise not to tell the other animatronics. Foxy did not wish to tell everyone about what happened. He was glad Saphira and Freddy were great friends of his though. He walked over to the piano and stretched his arms out for a moment before he began to play, moving his fingers effortlessly on the keyboard. Saphira smiled as she finished the log and turned to listen to him.

"Hell ya! I am rockin' tomorrow!" Foxy exclaimed excitedly. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!"

Both she and Freddy chuckle at Foxy when he sang that line suddenly, they were happy that Foxy was happy. Saphira was glad it didn't take up too much time. Saphira watched Foxy play the piano and she did have a small part of her wish that Freddy knew how to play an instrument. But, he was not able to, so she was not mad at him for it. It did mean if he planned on surprising her with a song, he'd have his friends help with the music. She wouldn't complain though, the other animatronics were pretty much okay with her and Freddy together. She still did not know if Monty approved or not, but he might also not care anymore. For now, Freddy and Saphira enjoy the little show from Foxy before he returns to his room and Saphira receives a notification that a freezer in the main pizzeria needed to be seen. Odd. Saphira wasn't an electrician, but she would need to investigate anyway. It was part of her duties as nightguard after all.
