I have no idea why Mom wanted to see Springtrap so badly. But here we were, in her car, driving to his house.

I told her where he lived. She seemed to know the address.

Shortly before leaving, I texted Spring.

Me: Can you pretend to be only my friend?

SP: Yeah...why?

Me: I can't explain right now. Are you home?

SP: Um, yeah?

Me: Good.

I was secretly happy he was back home. But there was no time for that.

The car stopped in his driveway. With shaking hands I get out and follow Mom to the door.

She knocks. I hold my breath out of fear.

He opens up that door, and good-natured smile on his face. "Hey!"

The look on my mom's face quickly became fear and horror.

"What is that thing!?" she screamed at him.

Shock registered in his body. He staggered backwards just a few steps.

Mom grabs my hand and drags me back to the car.

"You are never seeing that filthy creature again, you hear me?" she spits at me.

I could almost feel my heart break. She can't just do that...can she?

"You hear me?" she repeats.

I smile through the lie. "Of course, Mom."

Little did she know. Little did she know.
