"You're POSITIVE you're ok, little buddy?" Mike asked, kneeling down as he helped Helpy get on a jacket. The little bear cub wanted to play outside, and Mike didn't wanna risk anyone seeing him. So, something to cover his face was needed.

And how could he say no to that little face? After what felt like so long...Helpy was smiling again after his big brother's death. He wondered what cheered him up.

Helpy nodded. "Yeah, Mike! I don't want you to be sad too!"

"Helpy, I'm more concerned about you. While it's great to have you smile, I don't want you to fake it just because I like seeing you happy." Mike said.

Helpy just smiled, but even Mike could tell it was genuine due to how soft and caring it was. The little bear cub then hugged Mike. "I'll be okay! I have you!"

Mike's heart melted a little and he hugged back. "And I have you, little buddy."

Helpy giggled before letting go. "Now, c'mon! I get to try the swings for the very first time!!!" He exclaimed, hopping into the air as he put on a fluffy hat instead of his typical tophat.

Mike chuckled. "That you do."

Helpy then smiled at Mike. It had been a few weeks since his home burned down, and he was just thankful he had a home and someone to be with. "Thank you, Mike."

"Hmmm? For what, little buddy?"

"For taking care of me. You've only known me for a few weeks and...well, it already feels like you're my family." Helpy smiled, blushing a bit out of nervousness.

Mike's eyes widened a bit at the word 'family', since his family was dead and most of them had turned to the dark side...but he smiled, hugging Helpy tightly. "You don't need to thank me, kiddo. I'm just happy you're safe...no kid should have to live without a home and good family. In a way? I kinda adopted you."

Helpy laughed. "I guess you did!"

Mike smirked. "Am I gonna get a Father's Day card?"

"Mike!!!" Helpy said with another laugh, playfully hitting the purple man in the chest. Although it hardly hurt, of course.

Mike laughed, ruffling Helpy's little head before he grabbed a jacket, since it was beginning to snow. It was January after all. "And we get this on..."

Helpy shivered at the somewhat cold fabric of the coat, but then zipped it up along with putting on gloves and boots. And finally, a scarf around his neck and most of his face. "Okay! Ready!"

Mike smiled before he opened the door and headed out with Helpy following behind him. If Helpy wasn't there with him inside Henry's fire...he probably would've wanted to die. He had nothing to live for. His brother was dead thanks to his actions, he was a purple zombie, his sister was corrupted, his mother was out of the picture, and his father was an unstoppable monster of evil and chaos.

But Helpy? He was a reason to keep living.

Mike then watched Helpy grab a sled and listened to the crunching of snow as he hopped onto the sled.

Helpy then turned to Mike. "Can you give me a push?"

Mike chuckled and nodded, getting behind Helpy and pushing him down the snowy hill. Although he did watch closely in case he got hurt.

Helpy let out a cheer before he rolled off the sled, laughing that adorable little laugh. It could have anyone smile from how adorable the bear cub was.

Mike was smiling wide as he walked down. "Crash?"

"That was so much fun!!!" Helpy giggled. "Snow's awesome!"

Mike smirked. "Maybe you'd love to shovel it."

Helpy laughed again. "Nah, adults can do that!"

"Not under my roof." Mike said before a snowball hit his jacket. "Oh, so that's how we're gonna play?"

Helpy smirked and nodded, quickly running off with another snowball in hand.

Mike formed one as well. "Ohoho, no you don't!"

The two had a bit of a snowball fight for a while. They made a snowman, and just played around. Mike even felt like a child again, which he hadn't felt in...30 years or so? He was kind of an immortal zombie.

Eventually, due to being winter, the sun came down much earlier and Mike scooped up Helpy into his arms, brushing the snow off him.

Helpy yawned, resting his head on Mike's shoulder with a cute smile across his face.

Mike then stepped inside, taking off Helpy's winter gear and then went into the guest room, which was now HIS room in a way.

He set Helpy onto his bed, tucking him in and then fluffing his pillow. "Night, bud."

That's when Helpy sleepily mumbled something...something that would change the two's relationship forever.

"Nighty-night, Papa."

Mike's eyes went wide and he slowly turned around, but Helpy had fallen asleep. He was left quiet and shocked for a moment...before his heart grew and grew, and another smile grew across his face as he gently left the room.

Meanwhile...

Vanessa sighed, rubbing the brink of her nose as she looked across box upon box filled with old cheap junk until another worker came in. She smiled slightly. "Another one...?"

"Yup." The employee, Ben, said as he laid the box in front of her. "I swear, Fazbear Entertainment's finding these things like they're treasure."

Vanessa looked through the box, seeing nothing but circuit boards and microchips. She shrugged. "Looks fine to me. Where'd they find it?"

"I dunno. They just wanted to look through it." Ben said as he left.

Vanessa scratched her head, twirling her blonde hair around before grabbing one circuit board and narrowing her eyes at it. "Hmmm, what makes you valuable?"
