Bring Me The Horizon - Throne

Gregory was once again at the local Anytime Fitness getting a workout in, while Cassidy and Vanessa did their workouts. Gregory was in his workout outfit consisting of white running shoes, black gym shorts and his usual blue t-shirt.

He would work out with them on weekdays and then workout with Monty at his gym on weekends. He was nearing the end of his lifting session, this was the strongest he had ever been, weather that's because he's a growing boy or because the efforts he is putting in at the gym, he didn't care, he felt incredible.

He was on his last 3 reps of his 3rd set on doing skill crusher lifts.

With every lift his confidence was rising. He reflected upon how far he had come since the days of the Pizzaplex incident, where he had no home, no family, had every robot in the building, except Freddy, trying to kill him to the same killer bots becoming his literal family, to running from danger to diving head first in it.

The Pizzaplex incident and the Salt Lake hotel incidents changed him, for the better.

2 reps left.

He was feeling slightly more independent, with Freddy, Vanessa and Roxanne slowly giving him more room to grow while still loving him no differently than when they first became a family. He recently has become one of the "popular" kids at school, but he was still humble, and ever it never changed him in terms of how he treated the other kids. And Gregory still loved his family very much.

1 rep left.

If there was anyone he had to thank for getting him to where he is at today, it would be his adoptive father Freddy. Even if the bear wasn't still legally his guardian, due to him being a robot, he still filled the role of his father figure perfectly. Vanessa was another one he had to thank, his adoptive mother. She has given him all the motherly love he had to go two years without. Roxanne has also done the same as Vanessa for him, becoming a second mother figure for him. His three guardians are playing a large role in who he is becoming today. Roxanne is the only one allowed to call him "pup cup" even as he gets older. Same goes for Freddy's nickname for him, "superstar". Vanessa still calls him "Greggy" from time to time.

He completed his final lift.

He managed to set the bar down on his lap while getting up from the bench and went to go put the bar back on the rack with the others.

He had already begun his training with the new suit Fazbear Entertainment had him testing. Despite all the fun new experiences in his life, the threat of Vanny and William was still out there to worry about, and Gregory didn't want his guard down in the event he had to step up to fight.

Although he could test the suit, he was not allowed to take it home with him like his generation 2 suit he personally owned. Kellen and the others were still making tweaks to it. Eventually the idea was to make this suit so others like human members of the tactical team could someday use it. Freddy originally only wanted to make a new and improved one for Gregory, but after the loss of Cory from the tactical team on his watch during the Salt Lake incident, he wanted ways to better protect the key human members of his teams and thus this project was born.

Cassidy, the former vengeful spirit, now the chicken girl animatronic that resembled Glamrock Chica, except with black hair in a ponytail was finishing up her workout. She was dressed in her red gym shorts and gray tank top, with white running sneakers. She was running on the treadmill. She didn't need to run, because she's an animatronic but she enjoys the activity.

Vanessa was running on the treadmill next to her in her black sports top that exposed her defined stomach with her belly button piercing showing, grey sweat pants and sneakers, her earbuds from her iPhone in her ears. Vanessa too has been working out a lot more, her muscles were getting more defined and toned, her athletic build improving. She almost had a build like Roxanne at this point. Even though the wolf woman's muscle tone was artificial and purely aesthetics like the other glamrocks. The young woman now 24 years old as of September, was trying to stay in her best shape ever since the Pizzaplex incident during last spring.

She was done on the treadmill.

Gregory was approaching them, stopping his music and taking his earbuds out.

They stopped their workouts.

"All set Gregory?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah mom, I'm done, and I could go for some food right about now." Gregory said.

"You read my mind Gregory, I could go for tacos for dinner." Cassidy said.

They all went back to their locker rooms to change and shower. They all came back out in their normal casual clothes, then headed out to the car with their bags in tow. Cassidy's 2011 Honda Civic Si was out in the parking lot.

"Well Cassidy thanks for taking us, but I could have drove this time." Vanessa said.

"Ahh it's fine Vanessa, I wanted the return the favor after you and Gregory spent the day Christmas shopping with me to find gifts for the others." Cassidy said cheerfully.

"Ugh…it's not over yet, there's still more stuff we need to get…" Vanessa said.

"Yeah, I still don't know what to get dad." Gregory said.

"Sounds like we have another shopping day planned!" Cassidy said.

Cassidy had been spending more time with Vanessa and Gregory, doing a fine job of filling in for the big sister role Gregory needed. She and Gregory could relate a lot given their similar tragedy's.

"I'd say we could go tonight, but it's a school night for Gregory, and by the time we eat dinner, it's going to be a little late for us to go out on a shopping spree. About Friday night Cassidy?" Vanessa asked.

"Sure! I'm down." Cassidy said.

"Okay…and it's on the calendar!" Vanessa said looking at her iPhone.

Cassidy looked down at her iPhone and saw the invite.

They got in Cassidy car as she started it.

"Okay so where to for tacos?" Vanessa asked.

"El Chips?" Cassidy asked.

"I can't say no. Besides it's at the Pizzaplex, I'm sure Gregory won't mind seeing everyone." Vanessa said.

"Well no duh!" Gregory said from the back seat.

The two women laughed then headed for the Pizzaplex.
