Freddy, and the rest of the glamrocks were backstage getting ready for the big show. The crowd tonight was massive, probably the biggest crowd they've had in a while. So big the staff had to move the tables out of the atrium and closer to the food court under the stairways.
The Glamrocks have had large Christmas Eve shows before, but nothing like this.
They could see people all the way to the food court. The crew was watching live camera footage backstage.
"Okay, we have a big show tonight, but we're fully charged, Parts and Service did a final check on all of us. We've got almost 20 songs, but we, can, do this." Freddy said.
"Mike, Ballora and Circus Baby…sorry…I mean Mike, Elizabeth, and Clara are opening the show for us right, with their introduction?" Chica asked.
"Yes, along with an opening show with Vanessa. Everyone should be on their way as we speak." Freddy said.
"Are you sure the crowd is ready for human performers Freddy? I mean Vanessa is also doing her stage skit tonight with Gregory. But how do you think the crowd is going to feel about regular people being part of the show? You don't think that breaks the magic for the kids right?" Chica asked.
"I saw how many children and adult guests loved seeing them walk around the Pizzaplex. Elizabeth told me most of the kids thought she and Clara were cosplaying an original character of some kind. Just wait for the reveal, their going to love it." Freddy said.
Elizabeth, Clara, Michael, Vanessa and Gregory arrive.
Along with Cassidy in tow. Cassidy was now dressed in her new glamrock outfit, consisting of blue pants with yellow stars on them, a black midriff barring crop top with a star on it. She had a new belly button piercing that was a star. She had earrings like Glamrock Chica's, her hair was now tied into a ponytail with a bow. The bow was blue instead of pink. She wore a spiked neck choker and spiked wrist bands with black fingerless gloves. She wore a pink head band with the Fazbear Pizzaplex logo in the middle of it. She had black knee high boots on.
"Cassidy? I thought you weren't performing tonight? Also nice outfit girl!" Chica said.
"Why thank you, Elizabeth helped me pick it out. I'm…not performing, I just wanted to be here to support you guys." Cassidy said giving Gregory and Freddy a side eye with a knowing smile.
"Aww thanks hun." Chica said hugging Cassidy.
"That's real sweet of you hun." Roxanne said smiling and hugging Cassidy.
"That's lovely Cassidy." Freddy winked.
"We need Ballora and Baby on stage in 5 minutes." A pizzaplex staff member said.
"Well…here it goes." Elizabeth said.
"It's just an opening act. No need to feel pressure, your not singing anything, just introducing yourselves as the first human characters at the Pizzaplex." Freddy said.

"There's the music now." Bonnie said.
"You both got this." Vanessa said.
"Okay. Let's go." Elizabeth and Clara nodded at each other.
"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, Freddy and the gang are still getting ready for their big show. But not to worry, we've got some special guests in the building tonight to help keep you in those seats, with your FizzyFaz's in hand. Some of the adults in the room, might recognize this next pair, it's like a putting a new coat of paint on an old car." Dread Unit said.
"What the fuc….." Elizabeth had to stop herself from laughing right before stepping out in front of the crowd.
"I beg your pardon." Clara said.
Kellen was in the audience with Heather and Cameron, Jet and Jenny.
"For the record I did not program him to say that." Kellen said.
"Oh dreadunit…." Cassie said.
Funtime Foxy was in the audience with popcorn in hand. He wore his casual clothes consisting of black sweater, jeans and sneakers.
"Uh not sure if that's a good analogy." Funtime Foxy said.
Mangle and Foxy were also backstage.
"Has he been hanging out with comedy bot?" Mangle asked with her eyebrow raised.
"Oh we are off to a great start." Foxy said.
"Put your hands together for the first HUMAN performers at the Pizzaplex, Glamrock Baby and Glamrock Ballora!" Dread Unit continued.
The pair walked on stage waving at the crowd, as a thunderous applause echoed in the large atrium.
"Woooooooo! Hey I recognize those two!" Funtime Foxy shouted.
They really got Clara and Elizabeth to do it huh? Brings back some memories…some good and some bad. I mean I wasn't THAT Funtime Foxy, but doesn't mean I didn't get his memories implanted in me. Ick. You know what, who cares, that was those robots, not these people, myself or the Lolbit I knew. I am my own person now and William is out of my life and theirs. Funtime Foxy thought, as he smiled again.
The music faded out, as Elizabeth grabbed her microphone to talk to the crowd.
"How is Hurricane doing tonight!?" She shouted.
The crowd roared in excitement.
"Sounds like your all doing great!" She responded.
Clara raised her own wireless microphone to her face.
"Shall we introduce ourselves?" Clara asked.
"Yes! I am Glamrock Baby." Elizabeth said.
"And I am her mother Glamrock Ballora." Clara said.
"It is a pleasure for us to be the first human glamrock performers to share the stage with the lovely animatronics here at the Pizzaplex. We could not be any more thankful to management and Freddy Fazbear himself for letting us join his crew." Elizabeth spoke.
"We're still settling in here at the Pizzaplex, but stay tuned on our social media channels at glamrockballora and at glamrockbaby. We have some fun things coming." Clara said.
"Big things are coming, but you didn't come here to hear us talk all night. Are you ready to celebrate Christmas in style!?" Elizabeth really knew how to get the crowd going.
The crowd went wild.
"Well I promise, after our next guest, you'll get to party with Freddy and the gang! Can you guys promise me you'll give your best cheer for our next guest?" Elizabeth asked.
"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Several in the crowd shouted.
Vanessa was ready backstage.

"Okay then well it's been fun meeting you guys, and we can't wait to show you what were working on in the future. Stay tuned, happy holidays and have a Fazerific night!" Elizabeth shouted.
The crowd went wild as they left the stage and returned backstage.
"You guys did great!" Freddy said.
"Well your up next big guy!" Elizabeth said.
"Okay, Vanessa, are you ready?" Freddy asked.
"Yeah let's do this." Vanessa said.
Stage hands moved around equipment on the stage while the lights were dim.
"Ladies and Gentleman, please wait while we prep for the next performance." Dread Unit said.
"Okay Vanessa, your up." A stage hand said. Vanessa nodded.
"You've got this mom." Gregory said.
"Ladies and gentleman, put your hands together for our VP of Security, Vanessa Afton. Formerly Chief of Security at our location, she now oversees and manages security operations for our entire company." Dread Unit announced.
The applause was mild.
Shit…not going as well as I thought with the kiddos and the adults… Vanessa thought.
Vanessa lifted the wireless mic to her face.
"Hello….this is not my usual business attire….nor am I usually on a stage. There's a reason I'm wearing this outfit tonight, I love the glamrocks."
The crowd laughed.
"No not like that." Vanessa said.
The crowd calmed down.
"The glamrocks are like a big family to me, I have spent so much time with the band, that we've actually have grown pretty close. You wouldn't know it, but, a lot has changed since I was a security guard. For starters, I never pictured myself being on this stage. The same stage the glamrocks have been performing on for years now. I…" Vanessa was getting emotional. This was not part of the script.
"What she's going off script…." The stage hand said.
"Let her. That's an order." Freddy said.
"I'm a mother now….And I never pictured myself as someone who wanted to have children or even adopt a child….now I have a really special kid in my life. He thinks I saved him, no…he saved me." Vanessa said.
"Roll the clip." Freddy ordered.
A news clip played on the projector screen behind Vanessa.

It showed the aftermath of the Pizzaplex incident, everyone heard about it, everyone in the atrium knew about it. It showed Gregory in an interview with the local news station.
Cassie was in the audience with her dad watching on.
"How did you become friends with this security guard?" The interviewer asked Gregory.
"I met her when I was trapped in the pizzaplex during the incident. At first I was afraid of her, I thought she wanted to hurt me like some of the robots. But then I got to know her. And shes not a friend….She's my mother." Gregory responded.
"Mother? Our records show that…" The interviewer stopped then Gregory raised his hand.
"I know…I lost my real parents. Vanessa adopted me, and honestly. She saved me. She and the glamrocks reminded me of what it was like to have a family again." Gregory said.
"The glamrocks? The robots that tried to hurt you?" The interviewer asked.
"Their not bad. That wasn't them trying to hurt me. We will just leave it at that. What I can tell you, is Freddy is so much like the dad I used to have. And Vanessa….she's one of the kindest adults I have met. I had her all wrong the night of the incident." Gregory said.
"We spoke with Vanessa….she said you saved her, what do you think she meant by that?" The interviewer asked.
"Maybe she needed to be reminded….some things are worth living for….." Gregory said.
"You sound very mature for your age Gregory. What you went through is something no child should ever have to go through. And we hope justice will be served to the hacker that caused all of this. Anything you want to tell our viewers tonight?" The interviewer said.
"Don't give up hope, no matter how bad things get, life will always give you something to look forward to." Gregory said.
The audience was moved.
"Gregory….honey. Come out here for a minute." Vanessa said.
"Go ahead Gregory." Freddy said.
Gregory went out on stage.
The audience started clapping.
Vanessa took off her old security hat and held it in her hands.
"This hat, I have had since I was a entry level security guard here at the pizzaplex. Sure, I was proud to wear it, and it's led me to where I am today. I have grown a lot since then. Gregory, was a large part of that. When I heard he was homeless and stuck in the pizzaplex defenseless. I vowed I would do everything in my power to help him. Little did I know, I was the one who needed saving. I was not in a good place despite how well I did my job. Vanessa on the inside was going through things. Through getting to know Gregory over the course of the incident that faithful night, gave me a chance to open up and face the things I was struggling with, with Gregory there, every step of the way. I got the help I needed because of him. And I am forever thankful to him, being the hero I needed that night." Vanessa said. She tossed the hat to the side.
Gregory was about to speak, completely off script since he wasn't supposed to be part of this segment. He grabbed the second wireless mic and brought it up to his face.
"Vanessa, became the mother that I didn't have that night. She vowed to never leave my side, neither did Freddy. I wouldn't be here on this stage if it wasn't for Vanessa and Freddy. If there's any kids out there, who don't have a family, and if your alone, I just want to tell you. It does get better, give it time, don't let go of your dreams. And if you need someone to talk to, another kid who gets it. Talk to me. My social is right there." Gregory said as the staff put his online handle up on the screen.
"I'm obligated to tell you as his mother I do monitor his account so don't get ideas you creeps." Vanessa said.
The crowd laughed then the parents in audience clapped.
"Yeah she deletes my memes sometimes." Gregory said.
The audience laughed.
"I think the point and I are Gregory are trying to drive home is, no matter how bad things get, they will get better. Also…Gregory. I think your father has something to say…." Vanessa said.
This was also off script as Freddy came out with the crowd applauding loudly. He had a wireless microphone in his hand as well.
"Finally hes performing…thank god…." Someone in the crowd said.
"Now, now…I heard that. I will be performing with my friends in a moment, after we are done here, but I think I need to share this moment with my son on this stage." Freddy said.
"Dad, what are you doing out here? I thought you were getting ready until after Vanessa was done." Gregory said.
"Gregory. Superstar. I've been waiting awhile to tell you this. But do you remember that law that now allows us robots to act as guardians, legally?" Freddy asked.
"Wait…Freddy…are you?" Gregory was to finish.
Freddy pulled out a document from his pocket. The cameras focused on it.
"Gregory Afton….You are now hereby, Gregory Afton-Fazbear. I can now officially call you, my son." Freddy said.
The crowd cheered as Gregory dropped his microphone in disbelief and then picked up the mic again.
"No way!" Gregory said.
"It's official now. Vanessa is still your mother, but I am now also your father legally." Freddy said.
Gregory put down the mic and ran up to Freddy hugging him on stage. Vanessa joining in.
Gregory grabbed his mic again.
"See I told you….you just have to believe it." Gregory said tearfully.
"I guess….hes the first AI dad….I'm happy for you Gregory, really." Cassie said smiling.
Roxanne and the others backstage were teary eyed. They were not expecting that reveal.
"Gregory….hes really part of the family now….." Roxanne said.
"Now Gregory head backstage for now. Vanessa will be there soon. There's just one more thing." Freddy said.
Freddy turned to face the audience.
"I know your expecting me and the band to perform for this wonderful holiday evening. We will, but I think we should let Vanessa….sing a song….prepare to be surprised. Now let's cheer her on." Freddy shouted.
The crowd went wild.
"Vanessa, are you ready?" Freddy asked.
She grabbed the mic with confidence.
The glamrocks backstage looked on with their jaw's dropped.
"Shes realty going to sing? Without practice?" Roxanne asked.
Bonnie gave a knowing smile.
