Whose got their tickets? I got mine! I'm so excited! Just a week and a half to go! I'm ready for Freddy!

Saphira really did not want to level the office tonight. She clung to Springtrap as she was still extremely emotional about what her parents had done tonight. The hurt of being told that it wasn't just her fault, but her brother's fault too, that Jeremy died was really hard for her to handle. Springtrap knew that there was little he could do, other than to try and comfort Saphira as much as possible. She did not want to walk the halls of the pizzeria in search of this hidden room that Afton was clearly trying to get her to find. And because of that, the other animatronics had decided to look for her.

Fredbear himself was feeling sad for Saphira as he knew that she didn't deserve the hurt she was going through right now. Regardless, he and several other animatronics were aware of a vent that stood out from the rest. And it was cleverly positioned in the hallway between the main dining room, Toy Plaza and the Haunted Classroom. Fredbear could not help but think it was suspicious, so it was best that the animatronics check it out before Saphira did in case something were to happen to her.

The vent he was looking at had different shutters compared to the others. The shutters were closer together and tilted in such a way you could not see what was behind the vent shutter itself. Fredbear knew that it was hiding something, but they just had not tried to open to see what was behind it. Not until today, now that Saphira needed somewhere to go. He had thought it would be in the hallway by the office, but clearly it was not. Though considering the letter that Afton had faced through also hinted something different about the storage closets, so it would be worth checking.

But Fredbear was staring at this vent curiously. It was also low to the ground, so he did not know how it was going to open. "Why do you think there are so many hidden areas in this building?" Nightmare Fredbear asked as he approached Fredbear. "I have only existed in this world for a short time, and it is curious to me that this building seems to have secrets and illusions that are deliberate and constructed in such a way that it is almost like a puzzle."

"Afton seems to be pretty focused on creating games, so it is unsurprising to me that this whole building has been renovated for that reason. We still haven't even opened the hidden door in the Haunted Classroom." Fredbear clenched his fists slightly with a frown. "I'm the longest living animatronic here, and I have seen things that I look back on now and realize they were red flags. They were things that I should have been paying attention to." Fredbear sighed deeply and shook his head. "But I still don't understand the purpose of our existence. Afton is just a madman it seems."

"Didn't Saphira already find the answer to that question?" Nightmare Fredbear asked curiously, tilting his head slightly as Fredbear stepped closer to the vent and grabbed a hold of the shutters. "Golden Bonnie said there is a whole library filled with diaries."

"That depends whether any of those are even true." Fredbear pulled at the vent and stepped back as there a heavy groaning and the sound of something releasing. He stared at the wall as it seemed to move forward slightly. "Hmmph…clever." Fredbear grabbed the vent again to pull some more and both animatronics watch as the door opened into a dark hallway. Fredbear gazed at the door itself to see it was indeed disguised as part of the wall with the vent on it. The bricks on the wall felt really, so it was hard to tell. He looked into the hallway, and Nightmare Fredbear peered into it as well. "This has a musky odour down here, along with dust and dirty water."

"This doesn't seem like it could be Saphira's new room," Nightmare Fredbear commented as he frowned. He turned her head for a moment as heard another animatronic walking over to them. "Nightmare Bonnie, Phantom Chica, maybe one of you should stay here to hold the door open while Fredbear and myself investigate. One of you can also come with us."

"I'll hold the door open." Phantom Chica walked over and placed her hand on the door to hold it open. She looked into the hallway with a frown and hummed softly. "We at least can see in the dark pretty well. But that is a bit of a distance. I think there's a door at the end of this hallway, but I am unsure. I am only guessing."

"I see it too," Fredbear agreed as he stared in the hallway. "It would be good if Springtrap were here to see for himself, but Saphira needs him more right now."

Nightmare Bonnie looked at Fredbear curiously. "This question has been burning in my mind for a while, but have Saphira and Springtrap loved each other for long?" Fredbear turned his head slightly to look at Nightmare Bonnie in surprise. "I noticed that the way they both look at each other, treat each and spend time with each other is different from how they interact with the rest of us."

Fredbear could not help but smile slightly. He was not surprised that the nightmare animatronics had noticed the bond Saphira and Springtrap have with each other. "Well…I think when Saphira and Springtrap first met when she was a child, there was an instant connection. While I know the love they had for each other back then was the friendship they have with each other, I think that has attributed a lot to how they feel about each other now." Nightmare Bonnie and Nightmare Fredbear both were intrigued, even Phantom Chica. "When they reconnected, I have a feeling that because Saphira has grown and matured so much, it not only angered Springtrap at the time, but stirred new feelings in him. Until he knew Saphira's true reason as to why she did not come back ten years ago of course. I think Springtrap struggled, especially knowing the fact she had to learn about us and our diet."

"Is that another reason why he was trying so hard to push her to leave in the first week?" Phantom Chica asked curiously, and Fredbear nodded. "And what was your reason, Fredbear?" Fredbear looked at her in surprise. "You were angry and aggressive too. What was your reason?"

Fredbear sighed deeply as he knew that he should have been prepared to answer that. "Well…I guess because I wanted her to be safe. When she came back, I was happy at first, but then I realized that she would be in danger. We did not know what plan Afton had for her. And while we still don't know, I had hoped she would leave. But I can't help but think she would have been dragged back."

"Right." Nightmare Bonnie rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "And now, it seems that Springtrap and Saphira are closer than they have ever been. Why do you think they won't just admit to it?"

"I don't think you realize how hard it is for them, Nightmare Bonnie. Springtrap already tried admitting, and Saphira panicked." Fredbear looked back into the hallway and he proceeded to walk into it, with Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare Bonnie following him. "And Saphira is worried that by admitting to it, they would be falling into a play that Afton is expecting. I am afraid that it will happen soon, but I am just not sure what we will face when it does happen."

"I see. Basically, they will admit it to each other no matter what." Fredbear nodded and Nightmare Bonnie rubbed the back of his head. "This is certainly a pickle. To be honest, I would be happy for them. I am not sure how unusual it is for a human to love one of us, but it must take a special kind of person. I can see why she is well loved by everyone. She's grown on me too. And I honestly hope we can make things happier…and it would be nice if we could leave this building, and live in the world like humans do, but I am not sure if that would happen."

"I think Saphira will try to make it happen," Nightmare Fredbear said thoughtfully. "She also wants the same thing. I can tell. But of course…getting other people to accept us for who we are, and our diet might be too difficult for them to understand." He looked ahead as they were already approaching the end, and Phantom Chica was right about the door. He sniffed a little. "It really smells here. I would be shocked if there is a room behind here appropriate for Saphira."

Fredbear could not help but agree. He grabbed the handle and turned it, hearing the squeal of the handle and a groan as the door was pushed open. They did not step further as Fredbear let the door swing open. He tilts his head as he saw this room was empty. There was nothing in here. There was only a single window, and there was hardly any light in here. There were pipes running through here that were dripping, which was causing the smell in this room.

"Nothing. There's nothing," Fredbear said as he looked around. "If there's another hidden wall or something, we can forget about trying to find it." He looked around some more and huffed. "This was a waste of time, but a good thing Saphira did not waste her time to find it." He stepped back and closed the heavy door before they turned to walk back out. "Now we need to look behind different doors, and see if any other part of the walls open in this pizzeria."

"I imagine if we do that randomly, we will find something else," Nightmare Bonnie commented uncertainly.

"That is the idea." Fredbear elbows the nightmare animatronic with a smirk. "We are not going to let Saphira to do the work all the time. It would not be fair to her." They walk out of the hallway and Phantom Chica pushed the wall shut. "We at least can scratch this off. My guess is that Afton did have something in there, or plans to put something in there, but we don't need to open it again. Saphira will be happy to know that."

"And what if Afton wants her to?" Phantom Chica did worry that was a possibility. "Afton already has his ways of making Saphira do what he wants. Just because we did this, does not mean he won't still do something to make her do what he wants her to do." She softened her expression and shook her head. "Fredbear, I know you want to do this to help Saphira, but we should still…"

"I am fully aware we must look at the broader picture, Phantom Chica. You did not need to say it." Fredbear grumbled a little to himself and turned to walk away. "Let's go check the storage closets and rooms near the office. I have reasons to believe that something will definitely be there."

"Even a secret way in the locker room?" Nightmare Bonnie asked curiously, and Fredbear grimaced as that sounded like a bad idea. "It could still be possible."

The nightmare animatronic was right. It was possible the hidden room was there, but it was also highly unlikely. Plus, the very idea of it just sounded wrong to Fredbear. He would rather avoid checking the locker room at all costs due to that reason. He shook his head and they walked into the main dining room, knowing that they had a mission to do. They could ask the other animatronics to help, but it was not necessary. Plus, Nightmare, Freddy, Bonnie and Springtrap were still comforting Saphira at this time too, so if one of them decided to join, they wouldn't need many of the others.

They enter the hallway to the office and they walk towards it so they could pass it. There were no storage rooms before the office, so they didn't need to check there. But they might check to see if there are any hidden doors afterwards, so they would certainly keep that in mind. As they pass by the window, they look through it to see Saphira watching them in surprise. She expected them come in, but Springtrap said something to her and she seemed unhappy, but they could not hear what was being said.

"Alright…" Fredbear rubbed his hands together as he looked around. "Time to see what might be hidden around here." Fredbear did not know where to start, but there were ten different storage closets along here, and a few large rooms used for storage too. So any of these could be hiding something. "And remember to check properly. We don't want to have a simple look and think it is fine."

Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare Fredbear and Phantom Chica nod as they spread out to check the storage closets to find what might be hidden there. Fredbear walked to the very end of the hallway to start with the storage room right by the door to the loading dock. He opened it and looked inside. This room was always the least cluttered. The room contained old chairs, tablecloths, boxes of unopened utensils and paper plates. Fredbear didn't understand why it wasn't emptied.

He walked into the room and looked around curiously, knowing that anything could be a secret. He looked to the right wall that was clear with little blockage in front of it. He walked over to it, eyeing it off curiously as he was not sure if there was anything here. He sniffed a little, even though he only could smell dust in this room. He placed his hands on the wall for a moment and knocked on the wall, listening for an echo. There was no echo, but that didn't stop him from pushing on the wall to feel any kind of give.

It took a moment before he concluded nothing was unusual about the wall. He made sure to check the entire wall before moving to next wall and moving things to the side to check. Again, there was nothing that stood out, and Fredbear made sure to the double check before he would walk out of the room. He hummed softly to himself as he closed the door behind him. He walked to the next door and pushed it open, widening his eyes a little as he caught a strange smell coming from this room.

He has not seen inside this room much at all, so he did not know what was stored in here. But when he opened it, he had caught the smell of death. And he noticed blood stains all over the walls in this room, and bone fragments on the bricks on the floor. He certainly had not expected this. But the smell of death was also mixed with something else, but he could not quite figure it out. He figured he would check the room anyway just to tick it off. He certainly would not want Saphira to through here to get to a new room.

He was relieved when the walls were normal, but…this room was used for something. Fredbear does not remember anything to indicate anything that might have happened in this room. There was a vent in here, so it was possible Afton had done something. Especially since this vent had a big opening, so a person could have been dragged out of the room. But he couldn't really tell if that was the case, given this door had remained closed. He looked at the door and he noticed a claw mark. Fredbear thought it might have been one of them others, but the mark itself did not match up with any of the claws the other animatronics had. So he did not know what could have caused the damage.

Closing the door with a confused expression, Fredbear looked ahead in surprise and saw Saphira standing in the hallway, clutching Springtrap's hand tightly, as she looked around with a deep frown on her face. "What are you doing, Fredbear?" She asked him curiously. "Are you going around and trying to find the answer to the riddle that Afton had sent to me?"

Fredbear nodded. "Yes." Her frown deepened. Springtrap seemed to be happy by that decision though as he gave Fredbear a nod of approval. "Only because we want to make sure that this secret room is safe, Saphira. Plus, we don't really want you to have to sleep in your car."

Saphira sighed as she listened to Fredbear with her expression softening. "Well…I had not wanted to go looking for secrets tonight, mostly because I just need time to process. So I guess I should thank you for looking for me." She smiled at him a little and leaned against Springtrap. "I wasn't expecting you guys to go and do it without telling me."

Fredbear walked towards Saphira with a kind expression. "To be honest, I thought it would have been better to not tell you. Simply because I felt that you didn't need any further stress. Finding it for you would eliminate that part." He placed his hand on her shoulder as he stopped in front of her. "I hope you won't be too bothered. We already found the vent, and it leads to an empty, smelly room with nothing in it. So it can't be for you."

"Well…I am not sure if we should expect the room to even have a bed," Saphira said slowly as she thought about what could be found in the room. "But if it was unfit, I will trust your judgement. Just don't think that it will lead into a bedroom."

Bonnie, Nightmare and Freddy had stared to look into the storage rooms and storgate closets as well, now that they knew what Fredbear had been doing. They wanted Saphira to also have somewhere to sleep, but they also understood that Saphira was likely to be right. If there was a room that was set up as a bedroom, then it would definitely show that Afton had planned this. But that was most likely going to be the case, so that was what they were expecting.

"Maybe, but do you think we will find an empty bedroom?" Fredbear asked her and she was silent before shaking her head. "We shouldn't be fooled into thinking that he hasn't prepared something." He sighed and looked at the animatronics who were checked the storage rooms and closets. "Nightmare Bonnie even thought that it could be in the locker room."

Saphira immediately grimaced at the idea. "I hope not."

"That would be weird," Springtrap commented as he glanced towards the locker room. "But…if it is in there, we should check it regardless." He sighed deeply and he smiled at Fredbear. "Thank you for doing this, Fredbear. It has been a hard night for Saphira already. Making it easier for her is a good idea."

Fredbear smiled at Springtrap as he appreciated it. He looked at Bonnie as he stepped back from a storage closet in surprised as a small, rusty drum slipped from a shelf and hit him on his face. "Ugh!" Bonnie shook his head and frowned a little. "What the…" He stared at the drum in surprise and looked at the others. "This is not something I have seen anywhere in the building."

Fredbear stared at the drum in surprise and hummed. "Huh…not for many years." Bonnie looked at him in surprise as Fredbear walked over to the drum. "These used to be here as decorations. But I don't know if they were used for something." He grabbed the drum and shook it, but nothing could be heard. "There used to be really large drums too." He looked into the storage closet curiously with a frown. "And that was the only thing in this closet."

"Apparently." Bonnie stepped closer to the closet again with a frown as he began to feel the wall and knocked on it. His ears twitch, and Fredbear looked at the wall as he heard it too. "There's something behind this wall." Saphira watched curiously and she turned to hug Springtrap, making him glance down at her briefly before looking back at the closet. Bonnie was pushing on the wall before he looked at the shelves closely. "Hmm…what if I…OH!" He placed his hands on the middle shelf to lift it, when the shelf actually turned, and they heard the click of something unlocking. He pushed and the wall swung into another dark hallway. "I see stairs leading down."

"Leading down?" Saphira was curious as she thought that was strange before she became nervous. "Um…that's really comforting." She swallowed nervously and looked at Springtrap. "We should go back to the office while they investigate. I-I don't need to be here while they do that. Especially if it is a basement."

Springtrap was frowning as he did not like this, as there was also seeming another basement before the stage in the Haunted Classroom. He looked at Fredbear curiously. "How many renovations has this place had since you've been here?"

Fredbear shrugged. "Too many to count on my fingers, Springtrap. I wish I could tell you, but I can't. And we are often moved to a different part of the pizzeria when that happens." Springtrap frowned as he did not know what renovations that had been done. "Though of course, the renovations always seem to happen in certain areas. This part…I believe…" Fredbear paused as he thought about exactly when a renovation might have happened. "Hmm…sometime after Saphira left, I think. But I don't remember all of them, I just know they happen from time to time."

"Right." Springtrap's frown deepened, and he looked at Saphira. "Come, you need to finish your cake as well." Saphira smiled at him as she appreciated his concern, even though she was also curious about when this would have been built. Springtrap was still holding her hand as they turn and walked away. He glanced over his shoulder to look at them. "Do inform us what you find."

Saphira did not particularly want to be informed of what might be found down the stairs, but she was glad she would not be the one find that out. She shuddered and stuck close to Springtrap as they walk back to the office. Freddy walked back with them to keep them company while Bonnie, Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare, Nightmare Fredbear, Phantom Chica and Fredbear walk through the one door and made their way down the stairs. And immediately, they heard the stairs creaking and groaning under their weight, so they went down one at a time.

Once they reach the bottom, they were surprised there was a little bit of lighting on the walls. It was not a large light, but it led to a metal door ahead. They were all very suspicious. They knew this could be dangerous, but it might not be. The smell of the musky air suggested no one has been down here in years. They walk towards the door cautiously, not knowing what might be behind the large, heavy door. There was no light coming from the door, so it would be dark.

"Do you think it will be a bedroom?" Nightmare Bonnie asked curiously as he glanced at Bonnie, Fredbear and Phantom Chica curiously. "If it is, would it be bad?"

"It would be bad because it will prove how much of a manipulator Afton is," Bonnie responded bluntly, not taking his eyes off the door. "I am worried. Very worried." Bonnie sighed deeply as he thought about it. "As much as I love Saphira, I wish she never came back. She would not have to face this life."

"There is little we can do to change the past now, Bonnie," Fredbear said to the rabbit in a gentle tone. "We can only do what we can moving forward. Saphira was a big part of our lives when she was small. Now…" Fredbear reached for the doorknob and paused as he thought about her. "Now we must ensure that she stays alive."

Bonnie nodded in agreement, placing his hand on Fredbear's shoulder. "Open it, Fredbear. We need to see what is inside here."

Fredbear nodded as he turned the knob and pushed the door open. It was extremely dark and it took a moment for their eyes to adjust. And it was what they had feared. A large bedroom with a king size bed with a bare, brand new, mattress on top, a small kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, a table with a few chairs, computer, TV and a connecting bathroom and wardrobe. It was exactly what they feared. And there was also a vent in here too.

Bonnie looked around the room with wide eyes as he saw what was before them. He sniffed the air curiously to see if he could tell when someone has been in here. "I don't think anyone has been down here in years. And yet…" He glanced around with a frown, only noticing that the TV and computer that he could see were not the newer versions. "I remember those. I think humans had them over ten years ago."

"I agree." Fredbear eyed off the TV and computer for a moment before he huffed angrily. "This is just insane." He glanced at the bed before something on the bedside table caught his eye. He frowned as it was a picture frame. He grabbed the frame and looked at closely, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness before he gasped for a moment and turned to walk out of the room to stand in the light of the hallway. Bonnie followed him curiously as Fredbear stared in shock. "Afton definitely set this room up."

"That's obvious. What is in the picture?" Fredbear turned it to show Bonnie, and Bonnie tensed as he saw the image. "Woah…that…is that a picture of Saphira and Jeremy in the car right before the accident?"

"It could be." Fredbear looked at the photo again with a frown and he opened it to grab the picture out. "And something is…" He gasped as a second photo slipped from the frame, showing an image of the wrecked car with the image of Saphira and Jeremy inside. "Oh, if this doesn't confirm that Afton did it, I don't what will."

Bonnie picked up the second photo with a frown. He flipped the image to see words on the back. "And he pretty much confirms it too with what he's written." He shook his head in disgust. "We cannot let her see these. She's already going through a lot, so she does not need something else to upset her."

"We should show the others at least," Fredbear said softly, even though Bonnie grimaced as he did not agree. "They need to know. Springtrap does. We don't need to show these to her, but we do need to show the others. And we can confirm our suspicions about this place."

Bonnie was reluctant, but he figured it might be okay. "Fine. As long as everyone agrees that we throw these pictures away once everyone sees them. Actually, we should burn them." The animatronics nod in agreements. "Good." He glanced at the room with a frown and shook his head. "Why does this feel more like a prison than a room for our girl?"

Fredbear couldn't disagree with Bonnie's question. This did feel like that to him. He glanced at the pictures again, and he could not help but realize this room might have been set up around the time she didn't return, or sometime before. He does not remember renovations, but he does remember seeing a mattress being brought into the pizzeria long before the Chica's Love Chapel was made. If Afton really did play his hand back then and knew that Saphira would come back, this could easily be seen as terrifying. And Fredbear feared for the girl.
