Standing in the shower as the warm water showered over them with their arms around each other, standing silently as they just held each other, determined to never be letting each other go. Standing on Freddy's feet as she rests her cheek on his chest with his chin resting on her head, Saphira wanted this night to never end. The song, the canopy on the roof and their first official intimacy…for some reason, it almost felt like a marriage. She smirked to herself at that thought because it sort of was like a marriage, Mr Hippo technically walked her down the aisle, so it was really nice to think. She knew that the pizzaplex had no wedding venue, which seemed to give her an idea for the place, but that canopy on the roof of the pizzaplex really looked like a wedding venue. It well and truly did. And now, she was here with Freddy under the shower with warm water pelting down over them.
"You know, some people usually move in together at this point," Saphira said, breaking the silence in the bathroom with her gentle voice. Freddy's ears twitch slightly when she spoke and he listened to her intently. "If only…"
"You and I both know that would only bring greater risk to you," Freddy said to her gently, moving his hand to rub circles on her back and making her shudder gently against him. "I would love that. But if we had no virus to worry about, I think it would be fine."
Yeah, no virus and no Mr Miller to worry about. That was going to be something to do. However, if she was able to take over as the owner of the pizzaplex, it would be much easier. But, she pushed those concerns away for now, she felt like she was in a honeymoon mood right now. And it was so exhalting. She loved Freddy so much.
"I suppose no one needs maintenance?" Saphira asked casually, which she got a surprised expression from Freddy. "You know tonight's generally maintenance tonight."
"Well…maybe." Freddy grimaced a little. "Monty had an issue with a kid earlier today. Something got stuck in his stomach hatch and tail, he was able to deal with his tail. He just needs his stomach hatch clear."
"So much for not needing maintenance," She said sarcastically with a light chuckle. "Oh, but there is still time. I don't want to leave the shower right now. I am at home with you Freddy. Home is where the heart is…going to my apartment feels like torture now."
He chuckled gently and kissed the top of her head before resting his chin on her head again and rocking gently. "It will be okay Saphira. We are not going anywhere."
She knew that. And to think she was going to check on the new casings for Foxette, Orville, Pigpatch and Happy Frog to see if they were complete tonight. That could be checked later. One surprise was enough for tonight. However, this might just be the week she wakes them back and surprise the other animatronics, making the family even bigger.
"Do you remember when you asked me about teaching you how to waltz?" Saphira asked suddenly, Freddy nodded silently and she grinned. "Maybe I just might teach you, with the aid of video instruction of course. We could do that after I do maintenance on Monty."
"If that is what you wish, we shall do it," He responded gently, still rocking the both of them. "However, it is three thirty, it won't be long before it gets to six. Do you really want to remain here and waste time?"
"That is an easy question to answer Freddy…" She sighed deeply, she really did not want to let go right now. She wanted to stay in the shower with Freddy, they had been here for at least thirty minutes after getting back to the office after Freddy helped her to put the dress on and carry her to the office. "But…I guess I have no choice. I'll put on my uniform again and I'll let Monty know to meet me at Parts and Service."
"I can let him know for you," Freddy offered gently. "I know your legs are still shaky. I worry that I did something wrong, that I've hurt you."
She chuckled softly, peeling her cheek away from his chest to look up at him. "It will pass Freddy. I might be sore for a day or two, but believe me that this is normal. Well…as normal as it can be since you're an animatronic, not a human."
The animatronic widened his eyes slightly and chuckled at her. "You're probably right honestly. I never knew what humans did in their own time. I guess I have some idea."
"Yeah. Now you know…" She smiled as she lifts her hand to walk two fingers along his chin up to his nose. "More innocence has been taken from you." She tickled his nose, and he shakes his head slightly, pulling back whick made her chuckle at him. "But I have zero regrets. I always wanted it to be with someone special. Little did I know, that someone is you."
"And there is no other way you would want that, nor would I." Freddy kissed her gently, she moaned and kissed back. "Well I think we should get out. We're wasting time just standing here." She nodded with a grimace. "I'll help you, do not worry, super star." He reached to the tap to turn it off. The steam gently rolls off their bodies and he leans down slightly to pick her up. "Leave it to me."
She chuckled softly, him putting her clothes back on was quite funny. He knew how to take it off, but putting them back on was a struggle for him. He grabbed the towel to wrap around her to dry her body. She allowed him to do that, she loved feeling pampered right now. She felt like a princess, his princess…his bride. That is how she felt, and it made her feel so special.
"The only thing I do regret…" Saphira began, Freddy looked at her suddenly with worry. "A photo of us in the canopy together. Something to remember it by."
"Oh, yeah, you're right." He chuckled softly and kissed her gently as he rubbed the towel through her hair to dry it as best as he could. "We did not think of that. However, that memory will be in our minds forever."
Yes it will be. And she was going to cherish that memory forever. She would hate it if that memory was scrambled from his mind. It was not something she wanted to think about though, she wanted to enjoy the moment right now.
"I can put my clothes on Freddy," She said softly as he carried her out of the bathroom into the main office area. "You don't need to go through the trouble."
"I know, but I want to." Freddy kissed her again, setting her on the couch and walking over to where her clothes were to bring them over. "You at least can do up the buttons, but my fingers are not exactly small enough to do them up for you."
She giggled at Freddy as she relaxed on the chair, allowing him to slip her panties on. She did help him, even though he tried to stop her, but she wanted to ensure they were on properly anyway. Next were the black pants, again she helped him and he pulled the towel away so it wouldn't dampen the clothes. Once they were up properly, she pulled up the zipper and buttoned the pants as he held up the bra to slip on. He helped her clip the bra straps together and she adjusted the bra a little to make them more comfortable for herself.
As he slipped on the shirt for her and she buttoned it up, Saphira thought about the rest of the night. "After I deal with Monty, we should just come back here and relax. I don't feel like doing anything else. And the pizzaplex has no intruder so we are all good."
"If you are sure that is okay, we can do that," Freddy said to her with a smile. "I have already let Monty know he can head down to Parts and Service. That was a few minutes ago, apparently, he and Bonnie were busy when I spoke to him. So we have quite a bit of time."
She wasn't too surprised. Those two got intimate together regularly, although she didn't know if they were actually physically intimate. She has not really looked more closely on that one, but she felt it really isn't her place. After all, inspecting one's private area wasn't exactly dignifying.
"Would you like something to drink?" Freddy asked her curiously.
"Hmm…just a month and a half before I can wine…" Saphira said thoughtfully without really answering Freddy. "Yes please Freddy, a raspberry soda sounds nice at the moment. And some chocolate."
Freddy smiled as he stood up and walked over to the soda machine to fill a cup with her requested beverage. He opened the fridge to find a bar of chocolate, one that had recently started selling at the romance store, he grabbed it out and waited by the machine until it was full to put the top on and push a straw through the top for her to drink. He walked back over and noticed Saphira was in deep though.
"What are you thinking about?" Freddy asked curiously as he hands her the bar of chocolate and place the cup onto the coffee table in front of her.
"Just something that maybe this place could have. Tonight has actually inspired that." She gripped the chocolate to unwrap it and began to eat it.
"Oh really? What would that be?" He was really curious to know what idea she had thought of from tonight being her inspiration.
Saphira doubted Freddy even knew what a marriage was. But she just smiled at him anyway. "Don't worry, I don't even know if it will be something Mr Miller would want and I haven't even drawn up the designs yet. I think I'll keep it to myself for now."
Freddy just observed her face to try and get any detail from her, but when she didn't, he just chuckled softly at her. He wasn't going to press for information if she did not want to tell him. However, he had no idea what she had in mind. Though she didn't seem confident it would be approved, so even if she didn't tell him, he definitely would keep guessing.
"Oh, Monty just told me he's on his way now," Freddy said and Saphira began to pull her hair back into a ponytail. "We should head that way. Do you think you will be okay?"
She nodded at him. "You can always accompany me into the cylinder." She winked at him with a smirk as she finished tying up her hair and took another bite of the chocolate. She pushed herself off the couch and nearly lost her balance almost immediately, Freddy thankfully had quick reflexes and caught her. "Yeah, I'll need you to help."
He chuckled and glanced at the soda cup. "Shall I bring that?"
"The ice won't melt that fast, besides it sounds like a simple fix anyway." Saphira smiled at him and stepped towards the Parts and Service door. "If only there were not so many stairs down into Parts and Service."
Freddy chuckled as he walked with her towards the door, allowing her to lean on him for support as her legs were still jelly. "I can carry you down them."
Saphira paused at that thought and shrugged. "You know, yeah, yes you can. But I still need to walk into Parts and Service."
"I highly doubt Monty will mind. If anything, he will be the one teasing us." He picks her up bridal style, and Saphira did not miss a beat at all by kissing him gently. "I'll never get over being kissed."
She grinned at him as the animatronic opened the door and stepped through. The walk to Parts and Service was lit by golden lights, it wasn't too long, it just had a short flight of stairs that Saphira needed to take. The door it connected to face the long hallway that had the empty rooms that used to be for testing. Saphira just had not done anything with them yet. She hasn't even been to the warehouse since the incident.
He reached the bottom of the stairs and lowered Saphira's feet to the floor, she wobbled a little and chuckled before she stepped forward and opened the door into the large room. She saw Monty was not here yet, so she could start up the cylinder at the very least, and maybe sneak a peek at those casings.
"Hmm, nothing to worry about. He's not even here yet…though he said he's on his way." Freddy shrugged and walked with Saphira over to the console so she could get the cylinder ready. "I could have carried you all the way over here."
"It is all okay Freddy." She placed her hands on the keyboard as they reach the console and she began to type to start up the protective cylinder. "It is nice to stretch the legs anyway. I will be curious to hear Monty's story."
"Oh I bet you will," Freddy said enthusiastically, looking up as the door to Bonnie's room opened and Monty walked out. "There you are, I thought you would be here before us."
"Hmmph, I had something to take care of first Freddy," Monty responded before huffing a little. "I hope you two had a great time on the roof. The starlight, moonlight and candlelight must have been really nice."
Saphira glanced up at him and smiled as Monty approached. "Yes it was really great Monty. Thanks for helping set it up. That song was a great choice."
"Ah, don't mention it." He folds his arms, looking away with a smirk. "Like I said, don't going all sweet on me, punk." She chuckled and looked at the screen as the cylinder was almost ready, but she quickly checked on the new casing order to see if they were done. "Anyway, I suppose you want to know what happened."
"Tell me when you're ready." She kept her eyes on the screen for a moment and smirked when she received the alert that the casings were indeed ready.
"This is going to sound weird…but…I was giving this kid a pinata," Monty began to explain slowly, adjusting his sunglasses as he spoke. "I opened my hatch to give it to him, he was having his birthday at the mini golf, but for some reason…the little punk thought it was a good idea to swing his golf club at it while it was still in my hatch."
Saphira stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him in shock. "He did what?"
"Yeah, he really did swing that club and hit the pinata in my hatch." Monty moves his arms and she was able to see some pinata pieces sticking out of his stomach hatch. "Luckily, the day security staff escorted all of them out of the pizzaplex with a big fee for causing me damage. But not before that punk slammed the club into my tail, I honestly never had a kid do that. Thankfully I was able to take it out, it got stuck between the tail joints. It feels fine, but you should check anyway."
That kid was lucky she was not there. Saphira definitely would have had a few words to the parents. "I'm assuming they're band from the pizzaplex."
"Of course they are, no one does that and gets away with it here." Monty shakes his head, it was a very big disbelief for him. "I never would have thought a stupid kid would do something like that to me."
"Luckily I wasn't there to give a piece of my mind." Saphira went through the log process to begin the general maintenance. "Alright, the cylinder is ready." The door opens and she gestured for him to go in. "Freddy will be helping me."
"He will?" Monty looked at the animatronic, lowering his glasses slightly with curiosity. "Why would you need to help her?"
"Um…it's just she needs my help," Freddy responded in an awkward tone, rubbing the back of his head as Monty looked at him curiously.
Saphira chuckled a little, Freddy was put on the spot, but at least he did not reveal the main reason as to why she needed his help. She nearly stumbled into the cylinder as Freddy followed her and Monty noticed, he frowned with concern for a moment.
He huffed and looked up at Freddy. "You did something didn't you?"
"Monty…" Saphira began in a stern voice, getting his attention. "He didn't do anything that hurt me. If he had, you would know it. Trust me."
Monty glanced between Freddy and Saphira several times before he huffed. "Fine, whatever. But if he really did hurt you Saphira, let me know. I will teach him a lesson."
Freddy seemed genuinely worried about that, but Saphira just ignored Monty and pulled down the console to scan Monty for any errors, even though she already knew where to look. Monty did notice Saphira's hair was wet, it was sticking to the back of her shirt and her shirt was now damp from it. He didn't really ask any questions about that though. When the scans showed orange in the stomach hatch and tail area, she nodded as that was accurate. She pressed buttons to remove the casings from the tail and stomach hatch.
"Well damn!" Saphira gasped when she saw the mess inside the stomach hatch, there were so many pieces of pinata that had been smashed into the sides of the hatch. "That kid really had a good swing I see. But I'll check the tail first."
Freddy leaned over and he took was surprised. Kids were unpredictable at times unfortunately. Saphira, thankfully, never forgot her small flashlight that she always kept in the pocket of the pants. Freddy didn't even think of that, but when she pulled it out to take a closer look at the tail, he chuckled a little. She was fully prepared. She hummed softly as she saw minor damage and that some of the joint parts needed to be replaced. She grabbed down the tool and replacement trays before she removed the wires so Monty would feel zero pain as she replaced the necessary parts. Freddy stayed closer to her so she would be able to keep her balance, although she was leaning her thighs against the chair to help herself stay balanced.
"Alright, that was an easy fix," Saphira said as she reattached the wires and straightened up, shuffling to the stomach hatch. "Hmm, this will take a bit to clean." She hummed a little and pulled herself onto the chair. She was happy she didn't need Freddy to help her, but given her height, she needed to kneel on the chair. "Alright, let's begin."
"I tell you, I almost never want to bring a kid pinatas again," Monty said as Saphira got to work clearly out the main mess. "Especially if they might be swinging clubs at me again."
She chuckled softly as she completely understood. "I don't blame you. Sadly, that rule probably won't change, even from this incident Monty. I am surprised you didn't say anything earlier. It must have been uncomfortable dancing around with all this mess."
"It was a little, but it was minor compared to seeing the pure joy on your face when the blindfold was removed," Monty said, glancing down at Saphira as she had her head buried in the hatch. "At least I knew it was a great idea."
"Huh?" She looked up at him with a surprised expression. "That idea was from you?"
"Yeah, I told Freddy he should take you to the roof a month ago. It took so long to do it, but…" Monty smiled at the bear animatronic who was smiling back at him. "I think it was definitely worth it. Freddy made you feel special. I just gave him the idea."
"I am glad you did, tonight was magical." Saphira looked back into the hatch to keep herself from getting into a dreamy state. "I better not get distracted though. You are making me think about tonight."
"Heh, my apologies." The gator chuckled softly, relaxing his head back on the headrest of the chair. "I know we only have a short time before you leave. But, I imagine, you almost don't want to leave."
He wasn't wrong. Saphira had already thought about maybe trying to live in the building somewhere out of sight. Now, that desire only grew stronger. But she wanted to do it the right way too. Still, with Vanessa coming, she didn't know how things will go. As far as she knew, this strange woman was going to get in the way of things.
She finished removing all the pinata that she could until she need tweezers to get the rest out. And luckily, the pieces were not so deep into the sides of the hatch. So she got rid of them and inspect for any actual damage to the hatch. Surprisingly, there was none. The kid probably didn't hit hard enough to cause dents, but the fact a kid was able to do that was a tad infuriating.
"Alright, you are all done." Saphira announces as she slips off the table and grabbed the console to put the casings back on and go through diagnostics. "That did not take long at all. I imagine I'll be busy tomorrow night since everyone else might need maintenance."
"We shall see on that one," Freddy said gently, placing a hand on her shoulder as she went through the diagnostic process.
Saphira concentrated on the process, not missing a beat until it was done. She sighed in relief and turned to walk out with Freddy to the main console to complete the log. She was happy it did not take long, it meant she and Freddy could return to the office. However, as she finished the log, she heard the sound of twitching and turned in surprise, Freddy had his hand on his forehead with a sad expression.
"Are you okay?" She asked with a concerned frown.
"I need to recharge, sorry, I am beginning to feel drained," Freddy said apologetically. "I can help you back to the office before I go and recharge."
"I can take her back." Monty walked out of the cylinder, he could see Freddy needed to go. "Just go to the one right out the door Freddy. You shouldn't ignore your power drain, you know that."
He nodded and kissed Saphira's forehead. "I won't take long Saphira."
She knew that, she watched him turn and run out of the room to get into the recharge station. She sighed and turned to Monty. "So, can you help me?"
"Are you legs not working?"
"Not properly at the moment." Saphira showed him by taking a step and stumbling suddenly, the gator caught her and he frowned in concern. "Don't worry, it's getting better. Freddy and I just had sone intense activity that is all."
Monty tilts his head slightly before he widened his eyes. "Oh, right…I didn't think of that. Alright, I'll get you to the office. You can count on me punk."
Saphira grinned at Monty, thanking him as he walked with her back to the door to help her to the office. She was grateful for his help. Yet, she felt bad Freddy had exerted a lot of his power. She hoped he wouldn't do that often. It worried her when he missed the recharge times. Monty helped her back to the office and she takes a seat on the couch, sipping the soda as he stayed with her to keep her company until Freddy returned and he left to go through Rockstar Row to return to Bonnie.
She was lucky because they had an hour to spend with each other until she had to leave. Though it would make her feel very heavy when she does leave. The pizzaplex was really holding a special place in her heart right now. She looked forward to the day she would not have to walk out of the pizzaplex again. But for now, she enjoyed the last hour with Freddy and finally being able to walk on her own without stumbling too much before she begrudgingly left the pizzaplex. At least on her next shift, their family would get bigger again when she brings back four animatronics who were sorely missed from the pizzaplex.
