St. George, Utah
St. George Regional Airport
The glamrocks and the Aftons arrived at the St. George Regional Airport, the flight provided the animatronics in the group plenty of time to charge, and Vanessa, Gregory and the Aftons plenty of time to sleep.
The family walked into the airport terminal, feeling renewed and recharged, but definitely wanted to shower and get a change of clothes after all the hell they have been through in the same outfits for a full day.
"I need a shower, like real bad." Vanessa said.
"Yeah, I'm with you there. I mean I don't get all smelly like you people do, but still feels nice to have one after a long day." Chica said.
"Thanks for reminding me I smell Chica." Vanessa said.
"For someone who likes garbage, I would think most smells don't bother her." Gregory said.
"I heard that Gregory. Those days are behind me." Chica responded as she continued walking.
"I know, I'm just giving you a hard time." Gregory laughed.
Chica smiled.
"I know." She said.
"Vanessa, should we consider getting something to eat while we are here? Gregory has had nothing but peanuts and ginger ale during the flight I'm afraid." Freddy said.
"Those peanuts sucked." Gregory said.
"Gregory the flight attendants were simply trying to do their best." Freddy said.
"No Freddy, those peanuts really did suck. They were awful." Roxanne said.
"Truly dollar store quality Freddy, sorry." Vanessa said.
"Alright, alright, yes they were awful, an offense to all the senses. Do you wish to stop for food before Kellen arrives with the bus?" Freddy said.
"Thoughts anyone?" Vanessa asked the group.
"Look I would love to join you guys, but we gotta get back to our HQ and change, then drop off Cameron at home to change, then we need to meet up with Kellen and Heather…..Matt Webb's wake is today….." Jet said sadly.
"I understand. Please let the others know my heart is with them." Freddy said.
"Thanks Freddy, we will see you guys at tomorrow night's show." Jet said.
"See y'all!" Jenny said waving to the group.
"See you all at the big show! Take care boss!" Cameron said to the glam rocks and Freddy as he left with the two animatronic wolves.
"We would love to stay but we're actually going to be getting on another flight soon, for a friend." Fiona said with the St. George OAOS and Salt Lake OAOS crews standing with her.

"You guys are going to the UK, aren't you?" Vanessa asked.
"His family, contacted me. I…have to…my former boss was the closest thing to a father figure I had. Dawkin was a great man. I feel like we need to say our final goodbyes, at his home, before we part ways, one last time." Fiona said.
"If we didn't already have a lot to sort through ourselves, I would say we would join you in a few minutes. But we still need to find some new living arrangements for a couple of folks here new and old." Vanessa said.
"Fiona, I'd go with you too, if things weren't so crazy right now. I appreciate everything Dawkin did for me. He gave me a second chance when no one else wanted to. Tell the team, even though I can't join this one, I'll be thinking of them." Elizabeth said hugging Fiona.
"Well, as your new boss, I guess I can let you have time off….I'm joking with you….Of course. I know you have stuff going on. I'm sure the others will understand your absence." Fiona said with a smile.
"Please give his family our regards and let him know how much of a hero he truly was Fiona. And how he saved my life. I am forever grateful to him. Be good to yourself too." Vanessa said.
"Will do." Fiona responded with a smile.
"Don't worry V, she won't be doing it alone, will be there with her. It's only proper we say our goodbyes to one of the best and bravest OAOS agent's we've ever seen." Rockstar Foxy said.
"She won't be alone, you can count on that. We all owe everything to Dawkin." Marta said.
"Yeah, I'll be fine Vanessa. I, can handle it. Thank you. And one more thing….Freddy." Fiona said.
"Yes Fiona." Freddy said.
"Please, don't be upset by what I'm about to say but….As of today, I am resigning from my part time position at Fazbear Entertainment. I will be working full time now as captain of the Hurricane OAOS. Guess I won't have time to entertain kids anymore at the daycare haha." Fiona said.
Freddy responding by scooping up the mouse woman into a strong hug lifting her into the air.
"I am so happy for you!" Freddy said. He gently put down the petite mouse woman.
"Your not mad that one of the robots your company built is leaving you?" Fiona asked.
"Of course not! If this makes you happy, who am I to stop you. But, you will always have a home at the Pizzaplex to go to anytime Fiona, you are always welcome." Freddy said with a smile.
"Aww I'm gonna miss ya Fi….I mean Fiona!" Sun said.
"Don't worry. I'll come to visit of course on my days off! As a guest however haha." Fiona said.
"And here I thought you would help me put on a fingerpainting event for the kids." Sun said.
"No, but I'll watch you chase after them while you scream when they move your barrels." Fiona laughed.
"That's always fun to watch." Moon said.
"Moon….Anyway, Fiona, honestly. It's been fun. I do really hope you come and visit at least. The daycare won't be the same without you." Sun said.
"When I have time, I promise to visit, the Pizzaplex, and at your home too Vanessa, too if that's okay." Fiona said.
"Of course!' Vanessa answered.
"Well it sounds like you have a very bright future ahead of you Fiona. When I get back to the Pizzaplex, I'll sign off on your resignation and make sure the fiscal department gets you your final paychecks. No rush on emptying your locker in the employee lounge. Take your time, we will keep your stuff safe until you get the chance." Freddy asked.
"Thanks Freddy, really. I'll drop by to remove my stuff when I come back from my trip." Fiona said.
"Fiona, our flight takes off soon." Pop said with his British accent.
"Well, there it is, I gotta go." Fiona said.
"Have a safe flight!" Vanessa said hugging her.
"I will." She answered.
The other OAOS members waved their goodbyes as well, with Marta telling Vanessa she would call her later.
Fiona waved at the Fazbear family as she walked away, but she had one more thing to say.
"Freddy, Vanessa, Gregory. Have a Merry Christmas!" Fiona yelled as she walked toward the gate with the rest of her group to the next flight out.
"I'm going to miss her at the Pizzaplex, but I'm glad she is doing something with her life that truly makes her happy. Dawkin, would be proud of her." Freddy said.
"He would, he was such a great man, the world definitely lost a hero. But, Fiona will carry the torch for him, even if it takes some getting used to for her. She's got this." Vanessa said.
"She is just as strong willed as he was. But, she knows she has us for support if she needs it." Freddy said.
"For someone who was built, not born, she's definitely taken after him. Speaking of, Freddy, it's going to sound stupid, but. Do you think robots, if their will to live is strong enough, like a human, can develop a soul so to speak? Somewhere in their code? Like how people believe they could have a soul that can persist past death?" Gregory asked.
"I could not say for curtain, we are machines, but with our advanced programming and realistic bodies, it does seem to be quite comparable to being human. If humans believe they have some existence that persists after death, that is comparable to when we lose one of our bodies and need our data to be restored from a recent backup to a new endoskeleton. Um…Gregory this conversation is perhaps better for another time. This is getting a bit too, how do you say? Deep for me, to spend thousands of CPU cycles thinking about. I do not feel like overheating my processor today over this topic." Freddy said with a laugh.
"Fair enough Dad." Gregory said.
"Um Gregory, Freddy, we probably should focus on food." Vanessa said.
"Is there a pizza place in this airport?" Cassidy asked.
"If there is, I'm ordering like 2 full pies with everything on them." Chica said.
"Of course you are chichi." Roxanne laughed.
"I'm up for anything really." Evan said.
"Same here, Pizza sounds very good right now." Michael said.

Freddy realized the show was tomorrow. They had to get ready.
"Looks like if we do get Pizza, we are taking it to go, we have the winter show tomorrow to get ready for!" Freddy said.
"Show? Oh crap it is Christmas Eve tomorrow! Shit, shit, we have a lot to prepare for. I can't go on stage looking like this! No! No! Freddy, we gotta go now!" Roxanne said.
"Oh yeah, I get to make my epic comeback tomorrow as a guest." Bonnie said grinning.
"Ha, not without me sharing the stage with ya." Monty said.
"The only gator I'd want sharing the stage with me." Bonnie said.
"We have….20 songs….oh dear faz, save us." Freddy said.
Cassidy and Gregory looked at each other and nodded with a smirk to each other.
"He doesn't know about the 21st one…." Cassidy said under her breath.
"Okay, thankfully Freddy's van is parked here and we have my car here too. So we can head back to Hurricane now, the ride is not that long from here. Let's roll." Chica said.
"Chica your letting me drive so we get there faster." Roxanne said as she followed Chica.
"Roxanne, I don't need another speeding ticket mailed to my office." Freddy said.
The rest of the group started walking to the parking lot together, along with the Aftons.
"Looks like I better get my new glamrock outfit ready…." Mangle said.
"I've been looking forward to this, I haven't been on the stage in a long time…." Foxy said.
"So given were a family now….I'll have you know, I play a mean piano." Elizabeth said.
"Damn right you do sis, remember our old jam sessions?" Michael said.
"Yeah…those were fun times when dad was out of the house." Elizabeth responded.
"Wait…Michael, Elizabeth, you play instruments?" Freddy asked.
"Yeah. I used moonlight in a band back in high school." Michael said.
"I also, I have experience playing the violin. William used to always attend my performances." Clara said.
"Hmm…..maybe it would be a good move to go ahead with the new human guest performer initiative we've been on the fence for, for months….Gregory and Vanessa are technically already members…..of that group….Michael, Clara and Elizabeth. I have a proposal." Freddy said.
"Okay?" Elizabeth asked. The blond cloned from Vanessa, had her eyebrow raised.
"Since your already staying at the Pizzaplex until we help you find a house, how would you three like to be the first officially branded human glamrock band members?" Freddy asked.
"Wait…hold up….how much does it pay?" Michael asked.
"Mike c'mon!" Elizabeth shouted.
"If the shareholders estimates are correct, from my last meeting…..you will probably make thousands each show." Freddy said.
"Sign me up sir." Michael said.
"Hmm…thousands….well I did want to take a proper vacation…." Elizabeth said.
"Now…wait…Mr. Fazbear….we don't exactly have "that" look for this. How are you going to make this work?" Clara asked.
"Oh don't worry, ChiChi and I got you covered in that department." Roxanne said.
"Ohh this is going to be so exciting Rox!" Chica said grinning.
The group left the airport in the two cars. Headed home to prepare.
Meanwhile…..
Cue Theme: Swamp Stage – Marvel vs Capcom 2 OST
A white female arctic wolf animatronic made her way off her flight in from Sweden. She had long flowing white hair similar to Roxanne Wolf's. She wore a white winter jacket over a blue form fitting tank top with her midriff slightly revealed, black jeans, with white boots. She had ear piercing's in each of her wolf ears. She wore a spiked neck choker like Roxanne's and had spiked wristbands. However her's are not made of real metal, the airline would not let her board with her real ones from her former location, per their "weapon" policy. She was not amused. They would need to be shipped to the US. And she does not like dealing with shipping companies at all after they almost damaged her Roxanne figurine. However, she was happy to see a new change of scenery.
"St. George, Utah. I'm so close to the Hurricane, I can feel it. No more Sweden Pizzaplex, and having to be stuck in my old shell as Love Varg, the star big bad wolf of the Sweden Pizzaplex…..Now, I get to be who I really am, Loneclaw." She said to herself.
The first name, Love was pronounced LOO-veh and Varg is the Swedish word for wolf. Love Varg was built by Fazbear Sweden to be the Swedish counterpart to the American branch's Roxanne Wolf or Montgomery Gator.
She didn't miss that position and sure as hell didn't miss being in her old body…but was glad to hear her old shell will be refurbished for a new endo that really needs it and as just importantly identifies with it, following a crucial step in it's Endo training process, after being shown it.
"I'm just glad parts and service and upper management at the location listened to me. I….can actually be myself and not have to feel trapped in a shell I didn't ask for." Loneclaw said.
Loneclaw cried the day she found out she was getting a new body. After she got her new body and second generation shell, she spent HOURS looking at herself in the mirror. Everything felt so real.
"New body, new outfit, new name, new job. Things are looking up." She smiled.
Loneclaw was slightly taller than most female glamrock models, when her endoskeleton was re-configured and adjusted to her new shell, they kept her height at 6 feet and didn't adjust it, even though they made it slim like Roxanne's and Chica's. She could be a supermodel animatronic with her tall appearance.
But one thing she really looked forward to, was seeing her idol, Roxanne Wolf, in person, at the Pizzaplex. She would be working alongside the legendary animatronic wolf, that was infamous in the company.
"It's going to be awesome! I get to finally meet her! Wait, I get to meet all of them!" Loneclaw was ecstatic at getting to meet the glamrocks.
Her new position at the American location was working as a lab assistant to the head of Fazbear Research and Development, Kellen Allenby. She would be assisting Kellen Allenby and Heather Emily with projects in relation to enhancing the performance and durability of the Glamrock endoskeleton's, more non-lethal weapon's development for it's internal security guards and lethal weapon's development for Fazbear's tactical security response team, the Fazbear Tactical Team, known by most in the company as the FTT.
Honestly, Loneclaw didn't mind having a more lowkey, less public facing position, compared to always performing on stage in her previous life. She found herself exhausted constantly having to entertain a large crowd. She liked the idea of a calm laboratory environment she could work at and help oversee, with a smaller amount of people to deal with and no need to "fake it until you make it" to get through a stressful show. She could be just be herself and not have to feel any kind of pressure. She liked science and much of her time in her green room back at her old location was spent reading research papers on the internet when she wasn't entertaining customers. She even studied for a degree online while she was making plans way ahead of time to leave her old location. Loneclaw went on to become the first animatronic with a Bachelor's Degree in Robotics Engineering and Bachelor's Degree in Physics. So it was a nice fit for her. The execs overseeing her transfer told her she would see an increase in pay, and gets to keep all the same perks she had in her old position as a performer.
She would get a company laptop, and could work anywhere in the building during her shift or work from home on some days if she wished, and had an office added to the B2 basement level of the Pizzaplex down the hall from Parts and Service she could sit at with a nice desk, a couch and large flat screen TV with a gaming setup. The lab where her physical work was, was located past the endo warehouse area.
She had a new apartment lined up as well, just 20 minutes away from the Pizzaplex. Within walking distance for her.
"Time to get the rest of my bags and call an Uber…." Loneclaw said walking through the gate into the terminal with her backpack on.
