After returning home, Lily was able to sleep for a while until noon. As she ate her brunch, Lily thought back to Freddy's proposal.
'Should I join them, or not? I'm not really sure actually... maybe...' Lily thought, as she sipped her cup of tea, and continued looking out her window across the city.
"Hey! You're late Michael!" Uncle John said, as Mike entered the firing shop.
"What, but... it's only been a minute… and my name's not actually Michael," Mike said looking at the clock on the wall.
"That's no excuse Michael. Every minute counts, especially if you're on the field of battle," Uncle John said, as he was arranging the ammo packs in order.
"Yeah, I get it, Uncle," Mike said sheepishly, as he went behind the counter and placed his backpack near the doorway of the backroom.
For a moment, Mike stopped and thought, 'I wonder if she's okay?'
As day became night, Lily was in her house as the time read 10:00.
'I'll go a little later today, I'm tired," Lily thought as she relaxed on her couch.
She was still thinking about her answer to Freddy's proposal, although she was coming closer to her response.
'At least I spoke to my ma and dad today... poor mama, she's still upset about Ethan... Oh Ethan, where are you? You would have been able to help me, and I would've helped you find a job... my dear brother,' Lily thought, as she closed her eyes and a lone tear slid down her cheek.
Lily woke up pretty quick from her dream, so she took about a minute to fully regain consciousness. Then Lily sat up and stretched her arms up and down. She turned towards the clock on her cable box and it read, 11:24.
'Oh my, I should get going!' Lily thought, as she quickly stood up and got dressed in the clothes she wore the first day she went to the pizzeria, but now freshly cleaned and ready to go.
It was 12:00 when Lily entered the pizzeria. It was less eerie to her then before, so she took her time walking towards the Dining Area. When Lily went towards the stage, no one was there. She looked around to see where the animatronics were, but they weren't in the Dining Area. Then Lily heard the sound of music being played from far away.
'What's that?' Lily thought, as she carefully followed where the music was coming from.
Upon entering the kitchen, Lily heard the music growing much louder, but she couldn't see anything. She entered further into the kitchen, but she still couldn't see very well, and the music stopped playing.
"H-Hello?" Lily called out nervously, and then the light was turned on.
She blocked her eyes from the light, even though it was one light bulb, and then she moved her hand away and saw the four missing animatronics standing around something on the table.
"What's going on?" Lily asked.
"We wanted to give you something special for taking care of us," Chica said with her palms pressed together.
"You helped us, so we wanted to give you something in return. Luckily you didn't come too soon," Bonnie said with the best smile he could do.
"We hope you like it," Freddy said, as he pushed the box they were standing around towards Lily.
She walked closer to the open box and looked inside to see a decorated cupcake that read, 'T Y.'
"T Y?" Lily asked.
"It's short for 'Thank You.' There wasn't much room on the cupcake to write it out," Chica said with a smile.
Lily nodded with a small smile, as she picked up the cupcake and examined it. It was a real cupcake, and it was cold.
"It's cold," Lily said, still looking at the cup-shaped treat.
"It's been in the fridge since this morning. Apparently it was brought in by a parent and this was an extra one," Bonne said.
Lily looked at the cupcake and then she took a bite off it's puffy top. It was chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.
"Mm, it's very good. Thank you," Lily said, as she took another bite.
"No, thank YOU for being our friend," Chica said happily, as the others' smiled at Lily.
Lily nodded, and then she finished up the cupcake.
'You're taking a while to ask, aren't you?' Golden Freddy said in Freddy's mind, as Freddy tried to keep a straight face.
"So Lily…" Freddy said as he walked next to her, and she looked attentively at him.
"About yesterday, your answer?" Freddy asked politely.
Lily looked away to think surely of her answer, and then she replied,
"Yes."
Freddy was surprised to hear her say 'yes', and the others were pretty happy since Freddy told them about the proposal yesterday. However, Foxy wasn't happy about Lily's answer, but more sad about it.
"Oh yay! Another friend for us, and she's alive!" Chica said, as Bonnie nudged her arm and said,
"Yeah, it's nice to have a healthy friend, right Chica?"
Chica got the hint and she said, "Oh! Um yes, it's very nice."
Bonnie and Chica went to talk to Lily a little more, while Freddy turned to Foxy and noticed that he was looking towards Lily with a sad expression. Then Foxy turned and saw that Freddy was looking at him, as he turned and started walking out of the kitchen. Freddy was a little curious at Foxy's reaction, but he turned his attention back to Lily.
"I have so many recipes to show you, it'll be so fun!" Chica said.
"And I can show you how to sneak up on people, their faces are hilarious," Bonnie said with amusement.
Lily looked at them and just smiled a little, and then Freddy said, "Alright you two, give us some space."
Bonnie and Chica left the kitchen reluctantly, and Freddy and Lily stood in the kitchen alone. Then Freddy said to Lily,
"I'm glad that you're willing to join us. I'll admit, I was surprised by your answer at first, but I'm glad."
Then Lily asked, "So what happens now? Didn't you say there was an initiation?"
As Freddy started to walk out of the kitchen with Lily, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said,
"I wasn't sure about your answer so I didn't prepare for it. We can complete the initiation tomorrow."
Lily nodded, and then she asked, "What is the initiation?"
Freddy snickered and said, "You'll find out tomorrow. For now, let's just relax."
"Okay," Lily said, although she really wanted to know.
During most of the night, Lily was able to spend time with each animatronic for awhile:
"I like using pepperoni, olives, peanuts, bananas, oranges, cheese, tomatoes, or peppers. I like experimenting," Chica said.
"Which one is your favorite?" Lily asked.
Chica thought about it for awhile and then she said,
"Eh, I just like pizza, so any topping will do."
"That's 'E,' and 'A,' then 'D,' 'G,' 'B,' and then 'E,'" Bonnie said, pointing to each string on his guitar that Lily was holding.
"I thought the first one was 'E?'" Lily said.
"It is, but the last one is 'E' too, but it's higher while the first one is lower, get it?" Bonnie asked.
Lily nodded, and then Bonnie said, "Okay, then play 'E' 'G' 'B.'"
"Which 'E?'" Lily asked.
"Higher, lower, which ever one you want," Bonnie said.
"How about middle?" Lily said with a little smile, and Bonnie looked at her, unamused.
"You never thought about leaving?" Lily asked Freddy, as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
"It's not in my programming to leave this place for good, nor in the others. We live here, we work here, we're bound to this place until it shuts down... that's how it is," Freddy replied.
"Oh, I see," Lily said as she looked down.
Then Freddy walked closer to her, as she looked up at him, and he said,
"I've been meaning to ask y-"
"Not now. She's not ready. She still doesn't recognize you. You're so impatient,' Golden Freddy said in Freddy's mind, as Freddy replied back in his mind,
'I won't wait any longer! She must know, I must tell her!'
'Don't be so naive! You really think after almost twenty years that she'll remember you so easily? Even Bonnie would know that,' Golden Freddy said, as Freddy gave in.
Lily stood waiting for Freddy to speak since he suddenly stopped. Then Freddy asked,
"Lily... do you like to sing?"
Lily thought about it, and then she said,
"I like singing a little. Do you?"
Freddy arched his eyebrow, as he lifted up his hand that held the microphone.
"Oh," Lily said.
"Foxy, are you okay? You've been very quiet... are you mad at me?" Lily asked from outside the curtain.
Foxy's head emerged from behind the curtain, and then he said,
"I-I a-am not a-angry a-at y-y-ou. I-I n-need t-time al-lone."
Lily sighed and nodded, and then Foxy nodded and returned behind the curtain. Lily turned around and walked away.
Lily continued walking out of the Dining Area, towards the West hall. The other animatronics were in the kitchen since Chica made a large pizza with a number of toppings, and it made quite a mess. Lily was told to go walk around until it was cleaned up by Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. Since she was by herself, Lily decided to pay another visit to the Office, since she wanted to see what else was there.
Upon entering the Office, Lily noticed that the fan was still on, so she shut it off. Then Lily started looking around on the walls at the pictures and the poster. Lily saw the drawings the children made, and then she looked at the poster. She saw that Freddy's nose on the poster was bulging a bit, and when she touched it, it squeaked. Lily giggled a little, and then she continued looking around. She saw that there was a lone cupcake on the right side of the table that creeped her out a bit, and she noticed a tablet on the desk.
'It's just a normal work station,' Lily thought, and then she turned and noticed the door buttons.
She touched the white ones and the hall lights went on. Then she touched the red ones, and the doors closed.
"Interesting," Lily said, and then she turned to the tablet and was able to see the Show Stage.
She flicked through the tablet and saw the other rooms, and then she stopped on the kitchen when she heard the others talking and bickering among themselves. Lily chuckled, and then she switched the camera back to the Show Stage.
After looking around, Lily decided it was time for her to go, but she noticed the top draw of the desk was a little opened, and something shiny was inside. She was curious as to what it was, so Lily opened the draw wider. She saw the item, but not too well in the draw. Lily reached in and picked up the little item and realized that it was a blue and white key chain with three keys on it and a silver dog attached to it. As Lily looked at the item in her hand with the light on it, Lily squinted and then her eyes widened from realizing what the keychain was. Her lip quivered, her eyes were full of surprise, and her heart beat sped up.
"No... no... this is... it can't... no!" Lily said in surprise, but then it started to become painful as she knew exactly who the keychain belonged to.
'It's been here, it's been here for awhile, the dust on it... but then, it wasn't the guard yesterday... it had to be... before,' Lily thought, still staring at the keychain in her hand.
Footsteps were heard down the West Hall, but Lily didn't bother to look at who was coming. Foxy appeared in the left doorway, and his mouth dropped open when he saw Lily in the room. He was wondering where Lily was, and he went to find her, but he didn't think she was actually in the Office.
"L-L-Lily," Foxy said, but got no response.
Then Lily slowly turned towards Foxy and looked at him with shock, yet hurt in her eyes, as Foxy's eyes widened at her expression.
"F-Foxy, tell me... who does this keychain belong to?" Lily said in an almost whisper, as she extended her hand towards him that held the keychain.
Foxy looked at the keychain, and he realized where the keychain came from. Foxy became shocked and nearly froze looking at the keychain.
"Who did it belong to Foxy? Who?" Lily asked again in the same voice.
Foxy looked at Lily and then back at the keychain. His ears lowered, his eyes lowered, and he turned his head to the side and said,
"T-The g-gu-ard bef-fore t-the r-recent o-one... i-it f-fell o-out of h-his p-pocket w-when t-t-they c-c-aught him."
Lily gasped, as tears threatened to be shed from her eyes.
"No... NO! This... this keychain belonged to m-my brother. I know it's his… I made it for him! T-They caught him? T-The man on the phone said that they shove guards into suits. If they shoved him into the suit then... my brother is... is..." Lily said, and the tears came streaming down her cheeks.
Foxy noticed her tears and that she had put her hand without the chain on her face.
"L-Lassy, t-they d-didn't kno-ow. Ple-ease, l-l-assy, I'm s-s-sorry," Foxy said.
Then Lily looked up at him and said, "They killed my brother. They murdered him... how could they... how could you all kill him? Why? What did he do to you? What did he do to ANY of you?!"
Something in Lily's mind snapped on, and the pain and shock in her heart was morphing into a substance that was about to be awakened:
Rage.
"L-Lily," Foxy said, but Lily continued while anger was present in her expression,
"You... YOU! All Of YOU! You killed my brother! I knew my brother! He was a good guy, a good man! He would never hurt anyone! How could you all kill him?! WHY?!"
Then Foxy replied, "W-we h-hunt n-n-night g-guards bec-cause w-we m-must! M-must fol-l-low ru-ules n-now."
Lily walked a few steps back and cried more tears, while holding her hand on her face. Foxy walked closer to Lily and said,
"L-Lassy, w-we l-like you, w-w-e wo-ouldn't hu-urt you o-on p-u-urpose."
Lily backed away when Foxy tried to touch her shoulder.
"You made me like all of you... you made me feel sorry for all of you... Bonnie, Chica, you... Freddy. You made me fix all of you... and you murdered my brother. What kind of sick game are you playing with me?!" -Lily
"W-we d-didn't kno-ow h-he wa-as you-ur bro-other. W-we-" -Foxy
"I showed you his picture. Did you recognize him?" -Lily
Foxy's eyes widened, and Lily knew the answer.
"You did... and you didn't tell me. You were going to let me stay here with all of you... with my brother's killers!" Lily said, as she looked away with tears still streaming down her face.
Foxy looked down in shame and said, "Pl-l-lease L-Lily... I-I'm so-orry..."
Lily was silent, and then she slowly turned to Foxy and said, "That won't bring my brother back, and you already killed someone else... I won't let you all do it again. Not ever again!"
Before Foxy could do or say anything, Lily was already out the right door, as she ran out of the pizzeria without being spotted.
"L-Lily!" Foxy said, but it was too late.
'What have I done?' Foxy thought, as he held onto the wall with one hand and scratched it downward in frustration.
'Why... why did we... get him? We already…' Foxy thought, as he stood in place for a while, until he heard the others moving, and then he ran back to Pirate Cove.
"Lily-girl? Where are you?" Chica asked looking around.
"Did she leave already? It's only three thirty?" Bonnie asked while looking at the clock.
"Maybe she had something to do," Chica said.
Freddy wasn't satisfied with that answer, so he consulted with Golden Freddy.
'Where is she? Why did she leave?'
'Ask Foxy,' Golden Freddy replied to Freddy, and Freddy headed straight towards Pirate Cove.
"Foxy? Do you know why Lily left so early?" Freddy asked from outside the curtain.
Foxy slowly peeked out from the curtain at Freddy, and said,
"S-she n-needs t-time a-alo-one."
Freddy looked at Foxy suspiciously, as Foxy just moved back behind the curtain.
'Leave him be… but be careful, Freddy,' Golden Freddy said to him.
Freddy didn't question Golden Freddy, but he knew something wasn't right.
"Foxy, if I find out you did something-"
Freddy was interrupted by Foxy who said,
"H-her br-rother-r, h-he's d-dead."
Freddy was surprised by Foxy's answer, and then he fell silent as he turned around. Then Freddy said,
"I see... okay. Thank you for telling me Foxy."
Freddy walked away, as Foxy contemplated whether he should tell Freddy the whole truth.
'Leave it be, Foxy. It'll be… alright,' Golden Freddy said to Foxy, and he decided to leave it alone.
Freddy told Bonnie and Chica that Lily's brother was dead, but he said to leave her be, which they respected to do.
'Be careful Freddy...' Golden Freddy said, as he disappeared from Freddy's mind, which left the animatronic bear in deep thought.
Lily ran home and locked her doors, windows, and blocked her door with a chair. She stood in her room, and cried herself to sleep. The last thought she had was,
'They can't kill anymore...
