*Meanwhile at the pizzeria*

Golden Freddy was walking around the pizzeria, looking for Springtrap. "Springtrap? Springtrap, where are you?" He called out. He went into the staff room and saw Springtrap, sitting on the table. "Springtrap, there you are." Golden Freddy said as he sat next to Springtrap. He didn't say anything. "Hey... Are you okay?" Goldie asked. "Yeah... I'm fine..." Springtrap replied. "Are you sure? You don't sound really certain." Goldie said. Springtrap looked down. "I'm scared... I'm scared of what might happen to Vincent... Since Vincent lost his memories, the nightmare animatronics have really stepped up their game. Since the world is trying to kill him, it may try to kill me too." Springtrap said. "Springtrap, don't say that. Sara and the others will protect Vincent from any dangers the world might present. We'll do whatever we can to protect you too." Goldie said. Springtrap put his hand on his chest. "But... Me and Vincent have a psychic connection. Ever since the springlock incident, half of his soul is still inside him and the other half is inside me. We may be different people, but his soul is still mine. If he dies, I die. So, that's why I'm scared." Springtrap said.

Goldie hugged Springtrap. "It's okay, Springtrap. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." He said. Springtrap hugged back. "Thank you, Goldie." He said. Goldie smiled. "You're welcome, Springtrap." Goldie said.

*The next day*

August 10th

Aiden slowly woke up and sat up. He saw Scott and Vincent sleeping next to him. He smiled. "They're so cute when they're sleeping." He thought. Vincent stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes. "Good morning, Aiden." Vincent said. "Good morning, Vincent." Aaron said. "So..." He blushed. "Did you like what we did last night?" Vincent asked. "Yeah. You two are really amazing." Aiden said, smiling. Vincent smiled back. Aaron looked at the clock and noticed that it was 7:26. "Well, I gotta be getting to work." He said, getting out of bed. "Um, do you want me to come with you?" Vincent asked. "No. I'll be fine. You guys just take your time." Aiden said. "Well... Alright. Be careful." Vincent said. "I will." Aiden said. He got his uniform on and he walked out of the house.

Sara slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, she rubbed her eyes and saw Mike next to her, asleep. Sara smiled and kissed Mike's forehead.

Mike smiled a little in his sleep.

Sara giggled, she rested her head on Mike's chest.

Mike slowly opened his eyes and saw Sara resting her head on his chest.

Sara snuggled her head against Mike's chest.

Mike smiled and wrapped his arms around Sara.

Sara smiled warmly.

Mike petted Sara's head.

Sara giggled.

Mike chuckled and kissed Sara's forehead.

Sara smiled and kissed Mike's cheek.

Mike chuckled, then looked at the clock. "Ready to get up, sleepyhead?" He asked, smiling.

Sara giggled and sat up. "Yep." She replied, smiling as well.

Mike and Sara got out of bed and got dressed. "What would you like for breakfast?" He asked.

"The quiche again. It's so good." Sara replied.

Mike smiled. "Alrightie." He said. He and Sara went downstairs and saw Scott and Vincent at the table. "Hey guys." Mike said. "Morning, Mike. Morning, Sara." Scott said.

"Morning." Sara said.

Mike looked around and didn't see Aiden. "Where's Aiden?" He asked. "Oh, he had to go to work early." Vincent answered.

"Really?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. I don't know why, but..." Vincent looked at the girls. "I have a feeling that these girls might see him again." He said.

"Yeah, maybe we should go to work?" Sara asked as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking." Scott said. "The quiche is done! Should I bring it to work so we can eat it there?" Mike asked.

Sara nodded.

Mike packed the quiche up in a bag and they all went to the car and drove to the pizzeria. When they got there, they saw one of the female coworkers run out of the door, crying.

Sara looked at the female coworker, confused.

"What was that all about?" Vincent asked. "I don't know. Something must have happened. We better go check to see if Aiden is okay." Scott said.

Sara nodded.

The three of them went inside the pizzeria and saw Aiden sitting at one of the tables. He had his hand on his forehead and he looked upset. Aiden looked up. "Hey guys." He said. "Are you okay? Did something happen?" Vincent asked. Aiden put his hand on his forehead again and sighed. "Why is it girls never hesitate to try to steal me, even when they know that I have two boyfriends? Saying things like, "I'm more fun" in a half joking way. Sometimes, I think that I might really hate girls." He said. "Aiden..." Scott said as he put his hand on his shoulder. Aiden looked at Scott. "It's nothing. I was just saying that I don't understand how girls think. But, my sister is different. I've been with her for my entire life. I pretty much know what she's thinking." He said.

"Aiden..." Sara said, she hugged him.

Aiden hugged back. Vincent and Scott hugged him too. "Thanks for being here for me, guys." He said.

"You're welcome, Aiden." Sara said.

Aiden smiled a little. The three of them pulled away. "It's almost time to open." He said and got up. They all went to the office where Nigel is waiting. "Good morning, everyone. Hugh returned to the front line yesterday, but due to poor health, she has left the battle today. So today, you all have to do your best. I'm counting on you!" Nigel said. "Yes sir." Everyone said.

"I hope she's doing alright." Sara thought.

After an uneventful day at work, the group stepped out and noticed that it was starting to rain. "Good thing we brought our own umbrellas." Vincent thought as they got out their umbrellas. On the way home, Vincent kept thinking about what Aiden said. "Aiden..." He thought, looking at Aiden. Then, they spotted someone walking towards them. Vincent noticed that the person has a black coat and short, black hair. He had purple tear tracks on his face. "Hey, good evening." The person said. He walked under the streetlight and the person revealed himself to be Mari. "Nice to see you guys again." He said, smiling. "Mari!" Vincent said. "You, Scott and Aiden are together now, right?" Mari nodded. Vincent nodded. "Then let me warn you. Be careful not to make any enemies." Mari said.

"Okay." Sara said.

Mari smiled. "Sorry to hold you four up. See you." He said and walked away.

"See you." Sara said as Mari walked away.

"Be careful not to make any enemies, huh?" Vincent thought. They continued to walk until they got to the house.

Sara yawned a little.

"Here. Let's get you to bed." Mike said, holding her hand.

Sara held Mike's hand. "Alright." She said.

Mike led Sara to her bedroom. "Are you tired?" He asked.

Sara nodded. "A little." She replied.

Mike sat down on the bed. "Um... I know it sounds really childish, but, maybe I should read you a story." He said.

Sara giggled. "It's not childish, but, a music box would help." She said.

Mike smiled. "Alright. Do you have some music boxes?" He asked.

Sara smiled. "Yep." She said, Sara went to her desk and opened one of the drawers, she got out a music box from the drawer. "My mom got me this on my 7th birthday. She said the melody was Swan Lake." She said.

"Aww, that's so sweet." Mike said.

Sara smiled warmly. "Yeah. I still miss my parents to this day, every time when I think about what happened to them, it almost breaks me apart..." She said, her smile faded as tears were now streaming from her face.

Mike got up from the bed and hugged her.

Sara buried her face in Mike's shoulder as she closed her eyes tightly, remembering what happened years ago...

**FLASHBACK**

https://youtu.be/sQDiDDb1_9k

 Sara was sitting at her bed, listening to her music box while Aiden was beside her, holding his knees close. Sara looked at Aiden. "Hey, Aiden?"

"Yes, sis?" Aiden asked.

"What would happen if mommy and daddy moved out of the house?" Sara asked.

Aiden's eyes widened. He did not expect Sara to ask him this question.

Sara noticed Aiden's eyes were widened.

"Don't worry, Sara. They won't." Aiden replied.

"Are you su-" Before Sara could finish her sentence, she heard her mother scream.

"Mom?!" Aiden shouted. They both ran downstairs and they were shocked at what they saw.

https://youtu.be/v712NiVK5uY

Their parents were on the floor, they were covered in stab wounds. Sara began to shake as she screamed in fear.

Aiden's eyes widened once more as he hugged Sara. "W-Who did this?!" He thought.

Tears were beginning to run down Sara's face heavily, she saw the woman she saw before at Fredbear's Family Diner, smirking at them.

Aiden looked at the woman and glared at her.

Sara was shaking heavily, she was too terrified.

"Shh... It's okay... It's okay. I'm here..." Aiden whispered as he rubbed her back.

Sara saw the woman beginning to laugh.

Aiden glared at the woman once more.

Sara closed her eyes tightly, until she heard the woman walk out of the house, laughing. Sara sniffed, now beginning to cry heavily. "W-W... Why d-did that.... L-La-ady.... D-Do t-tha-at....?" She asked, between her sobs.

"Don't worry, Sara. I will make her pay for what she did." Aiden said.

Sara buried her face in Aiden's chest as she began to cry heavily.

Aiden continued to rub her back as he whispered comforting words into her ear.

Sara began to take deep breaths to calm down.

Aiden continued to rub her back. All the while, he was thinking about the woman that killed their parents. How... How could she be so cruel to kill their parents?

Sara then finally calmed down.

"Are you feeling better?" Aiden asked.

Sara nodded.

Aiden looked at the corpses of her parents, then back at Sara. "Don't worry, Sara. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." He said.

Sara buried her face in Aiden's shoulder, still shaking a little.

"S-Should we call the police about this?" Sara asked.

"Y-Yeah..." Aiden said.

Sara got the house phone and dialed 911.

While they waited for the police to arrive, he couldn't help but think about that woman. That monster ruined their lives and he will make sure that she pays the price for it.

Sara sniffled as she was wiping away tears from her eyes.

Aiden hugged her again in an attempt to comfort her.

Sara buried her face in Aiden's shoulder, until she heard police sirens.

The police entered the house and examined the bodies. "What have we got, Detective?" The coroner asked. "Well, it seems like the two parents of Aiden and Sara Jsckson have been brutally stabbed to death." The detective said. "Do you think it could be caused by that woman that was at the diner a few weeks ago?" One of the police officers asked. "It's a strong possibility. The wounds match the weapon that was used to kill the kids." The detective said.

"W-Wait, are you saying that there was kids like us, murdered?" Sara asked the detective.

"I'm sorry to say this, but... Yeah." The detective said with a sorrowful voice. Aiden's eyes widened once more. "Oh my god..." He whispered.

Sara's eyes widened. "W-Why..... W-Why did that lady do this... W-Why would she kill kids, t-then kill our parents?" She was shaking heavily.

Aiden hugged Sara again. "I-I don't know. That lady is pretty nuts. But don't worry. We'll catch her." The detective said.

Sara sniffled as tears were falling from her face, she buried her face in Aiden's shoulder.

Aiden rubbed her back. "Shh... It's okay... It's okay. I'm here..." He whispered.

Sara began to cry on Aiden's shoulder.

Aiden continued to rub her back.

Sara began to calm down.

"Are you feeling better?" Aiden asked.

Sara nodded.

Aiden smiled a little. "That's good." He said.

Sara wiped away her tears. "So, what do we do now?" She asked.

Aiden looked back at the detective talking to the officers. "I-I don't know..." He said.

"W-We can still live here, right?" Sara asked.

Aiden looked at the officer nervously. Sure, he wanted to stay here, but what if the lady comes back and tries to kill them?

"W-We'll make sure that lady won't get back here to try to kill us, Aiden." Sara said, putting a hand on Aiden's shoulder.

Aiden looked at his little sister and smiled.

Sara smiled back.

Aiden held onto Sara protectively.

Sara buried her face in Aiden's shoulder, once the investigation was over, and the bodies were out. Sara and Aiden have been taking care of themselves for years...

**FLASHBACK END**

Sara wiped away her tears. "Ever since Sandra killed our parents, me and Aiden were taking care of ourselves now. No babysitter, or guardian. We were taking care of ourselves when we were little." She said.

Mike's eyes were widened in shock. He couldn't believe that such a sweet and innocent girl had to experience such a traumatic incident. That and it was Sandra who caused it made him hate her even more. He hugged Sara, tears in his eyes.

Sara hugged back as she used her hand to wipe away Mike's tears.

"I-I had no idea that this happened to you." He said.

"I should've told you this sooner, besides, you had to know." Sara said.

"I-I'm so sorry that you and Aiden had to go through that." He said, looking down at the floor.

"It's okay, Mike. It's not your fault." Sara said as she kissed Mike's forehead.

Mike blushed and smiled.

Sara smiled back warmly.

"Are you tired?" Mike asked.

Sara nodded a little.

"C'mon. Let's get you to bed." Mike said, crawling into the bed.

Sara nodded and crawled into the bed as well, she rested her head on Mike's chest.

Mike wrapped his arms around Sara.

Sara smiled a little and closed her eyes, snuggling her head against Mike's chest.

"Good night, Sara." Mike said, kissing her forehead.

"Good night, Mike." Sara said, now falling into a deep sleep.

*The next morning*

August 11th

Vincent woke up, feeling terrible. He had a stuffy nose, his throat was sore and he had a bad headache. He called his boss and told him that he can't make it to work because he's sick. Nigel was not happy about this, but he understood. Vincent laid in his bed, holding a cold, moist towel on his forehead to cool down when his phone rang. He shakily answered it. "Hello?" He said in a hoarse voice. "What happened? What's this about being out sick?" Kevin asked. "I-I haven't felt well all day..." Vincent tried to get out of bed, but he fell to his knees because of his headache. "Are you okay?!" He asked frantically. "I have a headache." Vincent replied. "We're coming over right now." Kevin said and hung up. He turned to the others. "C'mon guys. Vincent's sick." He said.

"How did he get sick?" Sara asked.

"I-I don't know." Kevin said.

"Well, we need to make sure he's alright, that's for sure." Sara said.

"Yeah. I'll stop by the pharmacy to get some medicine." Scott said. "Come on, guys." Mike said. Everyone got into the car and drove to Vincent's house. They stopped by the pharmacy on the way and Scott bought some medicine for Vincent's cold. Kevin knocked on the door. "Vincent, we're coming in." He said. They all came into the house and went into Vincent's room.

"Hey, Vincent." Sara said.

Scott sat beside Vincent and put his hand on his forehead. "Are you okay?" He asked. Vincent simply nodded. He didn't want his sore throat to get worse. "You are pretty hot, so let's take your temperature." He said. He took a thermometer and put it in Vincent's mouth. He removed the device from his mouth and checked the numbers. 100.5 degrees.

"100.5 degrees?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. It's not a bad fever, but we still need to take care of him." Scott said.

Sara nodded.

"But I'm glad you're looking better than I expected." Scott said. "Yeah." Vincent said, smiling. "You haven't eaten all day, right? We'll make you something. What do you think you can stomach? You can be as demanding or as selfish as you want." Aiden said, smiling. "Thanks guys." Vincent said. "No problem. We're glad to be your personal nurses." Aiden said.

"Let's hope your fever will go away." Sara said as she smiled.

Vincent chuckled softly as the others went downstairs.

"So, I'm guessing we're going to skip work to take care of Vincent?" Sara asked as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah. So, who wants to call Boss?" Mike asked.

"I will." Sara replied.

"Alright." Mike said. He gave Sara his cell phone.

Sara dialed Nigel's phone number, and waited for him to answer.

Soon, Nigel picked up. "Hello?" He asked.

"Hey, Nigel. It's me Sara. Is it okay if we can skip work to take care of Vincent? I think he might have told you that he was sick. So, is it okay that we can skip work to take care of him?" Sara asked.

"Of course. Vincent already told me that he was sick. I can take care of things from here." Nigel replied.

"Thank you sir, I'll talk to you later when Vincent is better, okay?" Sara asked.

"Okay. Take care of him." Nigel replied.

"Okay, see you later sir." Sara said.

"Mm." Nigel said and hung up.

Sara gave Mike back his cellphone. "So, looks like we're skipping work." She said.

"Yep. I could do with a bit of a break myself." Mike said, leaning back in his chair.

"Same here." Sara said as she crossed her arms.

"What do you think I should make him?" Riley asked.

"I don't know, to be honest with you." Sara replied.

"Hmm... Knowing my cousin, he pretty much eats anything." Riley said. "But, he's sick, so maybe you can make him some soup?" Anthony asked.

"Yeah, I recommend soup." Sara said.

Riley nodded and made Vincent some soup. He carried the bowl to his room and put it on his nightstand. "Here you go. I made some soup." Riley said. "Thank you." Vincent said, smiling. "Be careful. It's hot." Riley said as Vincent took the bowl and blew on it to cool it down.

Sara looked out the window, she just hoped Nightmare isn't going to attack Vincent and the others this time. She was worried. Completely worried.

Mike put a hand on Sara's shoulder. "It's okay. We won't let Nightmare lay a hand on him." He said.

"I hope Nightmare doesn't lay a hand on him. I don't want him attacking us this time..." Sara said.

"Don't worry. He won't." Mike said.

Sara rested her head on Mike's shoulder.

Mike wrapped his arm around Sara's waist.

Sara blushed a little, but, she closed her eyes and snuggled her head against Mike's shoulder.

Mike rested his head against Sara's head.

Sara smiled a little.

Mike smiled back and kissed her forehead.

Sara giggled and smiled warmly.

*The next day*

August 12th

Vincent woke up, feeling a little better. His nose was still stuffy, but his head was not hurting and his sore throat is feeling better. He noticed a note on the table and picked it up. "Good morning. I hope your fever is down this morning. We left breakfast in the fridge. Eat if you think you can. - Aiden"

Vincent smiled. He's glad that his friends are here to help him. He got out of bed and got himself ready for work. He ate the breakfast, thinking about how he should get his memories back. Well, now that I think about it, while I was sleeping, I did regain a few memories. I was sick that one time, so my friends took time off from school to take care of me. He thought. He smiled, remembering the memories. He got into the car and drove to the pizzeria.

Sara was in the pizzeria with everyone else, she saw Vincent. "Hey, Vince. I see your fever is down this morning." She said.

"Hey, Sara." Vincent said, smiling. "Are you feeling better?" Scott asked. "Yeah. Thanks for taking care of me, guys." Vincent replied.

"No problem, Vince." Sara said, smiling warmly.

Everyone gathered into the office where Nigel is waiting. "We will now begin the morning assembly. First, Vincent, who caught a fever... You don't have to work as much. I understand that you still have a cold so I want you to get some rest and don't overstrain yourself, okay?" He asked. "Yes, sir." Vincent replied.

"I hope Vincent's fever will be gone soon." Sara thought.

Vincent sat at the show stage and watched the others take care of the kids. One of the female coworkers named Hugh went up to him. "Vincent, are you feeling better?" She asked. "Yes. Sorry for troubling you." Vincent replied. "It's fine. I didn't do anything." Hugh said. Vincent looked at Scott and Aiden. "I should have told you this earlier, but I confessed to Aiden, but I was rejected spectacularly. He said, "You know, I have two boyfriends." Aiden's a lot more serious than I thought. I didn't know that he liked men." Hugh said. Vincent was surprised. "So, she must be one of Aiden's fangirls." He thought. "I'm over it now. Just wanted to give you the report. So that's why I'll be absent from the trip." Hugh said. "Trip?" Vincent asked. "The joint trip with the Billiard Association. If your cold is better, Vincent, you can go too." Hugh replied. "R-Right." Vincent stuttered. "I hope some hot guys come." Hugh said, smiling. Vincent smiled back and looked at the others. "Another trip?" He thought.

"So, there's going to be another trip?" Sara thought.

Vincent got up from the show stage and told the others about what Hugh told him. "So, there's gonna be another trip?" Jeremy asked. "Yeah. I think so." Vincent said. "I heard about the Billiard Association. The group is mostly fan girls. My childhood friend is in the group." Mike said.

"You had a childhood friend before?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. Her name is Charlie." Mike replied.

"I see." Sara said.

"Yeah..." Mike said, looking down.

"Mike? Are you okay?" Sara asked, putting a hand on Mike's shoulder.

"Y-Yeah... I-I just..." Mike sighed. He started to shake and tears streamed down his face. "I don't understand why everything is trying to kill Vincent! Is he such an anomaly that the world decides to target him? Why can't it target anyone else? Target someone who deserves to die!!" He shouted. "M-Mike, please calm down!" Jeremy said. "Why?! Why can't it do that?! Why is it not trying to target Nightmare?! He's the one who deserves to die! He tried to hurt us, he tried to kill Baby! What's next? He's gonna kidnap Charlie and her friends?!" Mike shouted.

Sara hugged Mike tightly. "Mike, I want you to calm down. We'll make sure Vincent and the others are safe. But, I want you to calm down and take deep breaths for me." She said, calmly.

Mike took deep breaths and calmed down. "I-I'm sorry... I-I..." Mike said. Vincent hugged Mike. "Don't worry. I'll be careful." He said.

Sara nodded.

Mike smiled and wiped the tears from his eyes.

Sara smiled warmly and kissed Mike's forehead.

Mike blushed and smiled.

Sara smiled warmly.

*Later*

After another uneventful day at work, Vincent and the others returned home. As refreshing as it is to have some peace, Mike can't help but be suspicious. Why hasn't Nightmare and the others attacked them the past few days? Maybe he got the message and left them alone. With all the Nightmare business out of the way, they can now focus on getting more of Vincent's memories back. "Mike?" Jeremy asked him. "Yes?" Mike said. "Have you seen Aiden?" He asked. "Hmm... Well, he told me that he was gonna go get a quick drink at the bar. I hope he doesn't get drunk again..." Mike said, sighing. Jeremy sighed too. Aiden always gets extra flirty when he's drunk. He remembered that one time Aiden got drunk and he started flirting with him, mistaking him for Vincent. He ended up having to punch him in the head to snap him out of it. He hoped the same thing doesn't happen again. He looked at Vincent. "Hey... Sorry about before. For saying something so nosy. About Aiden." He said. "No, it wasn't nosy at all." Vincent said.

"I just hope Aiden doesn't drink too much." Sara said.

"Yeah." Scott said. "Well, I don't know if this will help, but, before you and Scott got together with him..." Vincent and the others looked at Mike. "...You hated him so much, you used to say that you were working with the worst person ever. And then, you joined the fan club all of a sudden." He said. "I joined the fan club?" Vincent asked. "You said there was something you wanted to find out. One of Charlie's friends was in that fan club and she said when a girl goes out with Aiden, they have to submit a daily report about their activities to the club every single day." Mike said.

"Really?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. She says if the girl fails to do that, she has to take responsibility for it." Mike replied. Vincent now understood what they meant by "promise". He didn't submit the daily report to them and they were angry about it.

"So, that's what they meant by promise..." Sara thought.

Then, Vincent's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Aiden. He answered it. "Hello?" He asked. "How are you feeling? Are you all better?" Aiden asked. Vincent could tell that his voice is slightly slurred. He's drunk... "Yes." He answered. "Hey, say something. I might die if I don't hear your voice. Really." Aiden said. "Have you been drinking?" Vincent asked, just to make sure. "Yep. But I'm fine. I always want to talk to someone when I'm drunk. Hmm... Didn't I call you like this once before? I really drove you up the wall. Hehehe. Just talk about something. Anything. I want to hear your voice." Aiden said. "Are you alright?" Vincent asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was able to walk all the way here by myself." Aiden replied. "Here?" Vincent said. He went to the front door and opened it. He saw Aiden standing on his front yard. He turned around and smiled. "Vinny~" He said flirtatiously and hugged him tightly. "Whoa!" Vincent yelped. Mike looked at Aiden closely and saw that his cheeks are tainted red and he had a dopey smile on his face.

"Yep. He's drunk." Sara thought.

https://youtu.be/zA3liFZfWUI

"Mmm~" Aiden started to rub his cheek on Vincent's cheek. He blushed. Mike pulled Aiden away from Vincent. "Aiden, I think you had enough for tonight." He said.

Sara blinked.

Aiden looked at the others, starting to stumble. "Hmm...? Hey guys... You're so far away... Why are you spinning?~" He said. Scott started to walk towards Aiden, but he stumbled over to Vincent and put his hand on his cheek. "I like you up close.~" He said, smiling. "You're drunk already, huh?" Scott asked. "MmmHmm. You betcha, Scotty." Aiden said and kissed his cheek. "Vinny~" He looked at Vincent, giving him puppy dog eyes. "Umm..." Vincent started to blush more. "Oh my. You three are so lovey dovey." Fritz said, smiling. "Uh, I don't think lovey dovey is the right word for this." Scott said to Fritz. "Hey Scott!" Aiden said. "Uh, yeah?" Scott asked. "I see you staring at Fritz. You cut that out!" He answered. "What the heck are you talking about?!" Scott asked. "Yeah, Scotty.~ Like, what's the deal, huh?" Vincent asked. Mike looked at Vincent and saw that he had a glass of wine in his hand. "Oh, now you got some high drinking too. Great!" Mike said. "Oh my, Scotty.~ Couldn't you taken an interest in little ol' me?" Vincent asked, smiling. "Bored with me already, Scott?" Aiden asked, slurred. "Whoa, here comes the catfight!" Anthony said. "One of those cats is your friend, you know." Kevin said. "Come on, Scott! Who do you like better?" Aiden asked. "Oh my~ Is he gonna confess his love to me?~" Vincent asked. "Uhh, umm..." Scott tried to find the right words to say. "Pick Vincent! He's more kinky!" Anthony said. Scott got flustered. "Hey buddy! What are you getting all flustered about, huh?" Aiden asked. "That proves he likes Vincent after all." Anthony said. "Nononononononono!" Scott said as he shook his head repeatedly. "You don't like me?" Vincent asked, tears in his eyes. "No. It's not that! I mean, I like you. Y-You know you, me and Aiden are all together." Scott stuttered. "You admit it?" Aiden asked, shocked. Scott grabbed his head. "AAAAAAHHHH!! What the hell did I do to deserve this?!" He screamed.

"Now, now, Vincent, Aiden, Scott. Calm down. Anthony was just joking around is all." Sara said, her cheeks were already tinted pink and she was also holding a glass of wine.

"I love these two. They're too precious for this world!~" Aiden said as he hugged Vincent and Scott. The two of them blushed more, their faces as red as a tomato. "Oh great. Not you too." Mike said to Sara.

Sara giggled at them. "I guess Fritz was right. You guys are lovey dovey after all~" She said as she took a sip of the wine in her cup.

"Oh my god..." Scott muttered. "Aiden's gonna have one hell of a hangover tomorrow." Mike thought.

Sara giggled.

Little do they know, Nightmare is watching the whole thing and he smirked. He had something planned for them on the trip and he'll make sure that it works. He walked away, chuckling.

*The next day*

August 13th

Kevin woke up and noticed that the three of them weren't in their bed. He went down to the kitchen and saw Aiden at the table, groaning in pain. "Are you okay?" Kevin asked. "Yeah. My head just hurts. That's all." Aiden replied.

Sara was sitting at the side of her bed, holding her head in pain. "I think it was a bad idea drinking that wine last night..." She said.

"Are you okay? Can I get you some medicine?" Mike asked.

"No, I'm okay. I'm sure it will go away soon." Sara replied.

Mike held Sara's hand.

Sara held Mike's hand.

Scott went to the bathroom to get Vincent some medicine. "Scott, is Vincent okay?" Mike asked. "Yeah. He said his head is hurting and he's feeling nauseous." Scott replied.

Sara was still holding her head in pain as she was beside Mike.

Mike started to rub small circles on Sara's hand. "I hope Vincent and Aiden are feeling better." He thought.

Sara rested her head on Mike's shoulder.

Mike started to pet Sara's head.

Sara smiled a little.

"It's okay, Sara. You're gonna be okay." Mike said.

Sara smiled warmly.

Later, Aiden, Vincent and Sara are starting to feel better. "Are you feeling better, Vincent?" Scott asked. Vincent nodded.

Sara smiled a little. "That's good." She said.

"Are you feeling better, Sara?" Mike asked.

"Yeah." Sara replied.

"Anyway, should we get to work?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. I don't want Boss to yell at me." Mike replied.

"Same here." Sara said.

"Is Aiden gonna be okay at work?" Mike asked.

"I hope he's going to be okay, I don't want him to have a migraine. Also, I'll be right back." Sara replied, walking in the bathroom.

"Um... Okay." Mike said, getting concerned.

Sara closed the door of the bathroom and looked at the mirror, she grabbed a pair of scissors and began to cut her long hair short. Once she put the scissors down, she looked at her now short hair on her shoulders, until she noticed Shadow Bonbon behind her, smirking at her. Sara's eyes widened a little as she looked behind to see Shadow Bonbon.

Shadow Bonbon didn't say anything. He just kept smirking at her.

Sara crossed her arms. "Can I ask why you keep smirking at me, Shadow Bonbo-" Before Sara could finish her sentence, she saw the pair of scissors through her stomach, making her eyes widen.

Shadow Bonbon started to giggle like an innocent child. She pulled the scissors out of her stomach.

Sara fell on her knees as she covered her stomach with one hand, trying to stop the bleeding. Her eyes were tightly closed in pain. She opened one eye and glared at Shadow Bonbon, until she saw a woman with a white and pink fox tail with a red ribbon wrapped around it, she saw the woman kick Shadow Bonbon to the wall, Sara looked at the woman. "Y-You're...." She started to say, but, she saw the woman look at her.

"Are you okay?!" She asked with concern in her voice as she got on her knees beside Sara.

"Y-Yes, I'm alright.." Sara said, weakly.

The woman looked at Sara's wound. "This looks really serious." She said.

"I-I know, but, I can handle this." Sara said.

"I know you, Sara. You'll make it through this." The woman thought.

Sara looked at the woman. "I-I'm sorry if I'm asking, b-but, I kinda forgot your name. W-What was your name again?" She asked.

The woman gave a small smile. "I'm Funtime Foxy." She answered.

Sara smiled back weakly. "I-It's been a while, Funtime Foxy." She said.

"I-It's been a while too." Funtime Foxy stuttered as she tried to find some bandages.

Sara weakly got up.

Funtime Foxy helped her up as she put pressure on the wound.

Sara winced in pain a little.

Mike opened the door and his eyes widened at what he saw. "S-Sara!? W-What happened?!" He asked frantically.

"S-Shadow Bonbon, s-she tried to attack me... B-But, Funtime Foxy got her." Sara said.

Mike looked at Funtime Foxy. "I remember her... She was one of the animatronics from the sister location." He thought. "T-Thank you for saving Sara." He said. "It's no problem." Funtime Foxy said. Mike went to the bathroom and got a first aid kit.

Sara used the counter for balance.

"Here. Lay down on the bed." Mike said as he and Funtime Foxy led her carefully to the bedroom.

Sara winced in pain from her stomach, her eyes tightly closed.

Mike and Funtime Foxy carefully laid her down on the bed. Mike got the bandages and started to wrap them around Sara's wound.

Sara's eyes were closed, but, she was still breathing.

Mike wrapped the bandages tightly around her wound. "Alright. That should stop the bleeding." He said. "Will she be okay?" Funtime Foxy asked. "Yes. She will be fine. Besides, she's the marionette. She can be healed, no problem." Mike replied.

Sara rested her head on Mike's shoulder, now falling asleep. But, she was getting a flashback when she used to be the marionette.

**FLASHBACK**

Puppet was floating around the place, her arms crossed and she was making sure there was no intruders in the pizzeria, until she felt a gun at the back of her head.

"Don't move." A familiar voice said.

"....And why should I?" Puppet asked as her eyes began to glow.

"Heh... Because if you move, I'm gonna blow your brains out." The person said. She got in front of the Puppet and stared at her with cold, emotionless black eyes.

Puppet looked at the woman, glaring at her.

"You're very lucky that this gun is not loaded right now. Because I can kill you very easily with this." The woman said.

Puppet suddenly smirked. "Really now?" She asked, she snapped her fingers as she saw Springy behind the woman.

Springy grabbed the woman and pulled the gun out of her hand. "Let's test it out to see if you're telling the truth." She said. She pointed the gun at the hallway and pulled the trigger. It made a loud bang as the bullet whizzed down the hallway and hit one of the arcade machines. It hit the metal, leaving a small hole the size of a pencil eraser head.

"I guess that gun was loaded with bullets after all." Puppet said, she wrapped strings around the woman as she looked at her with a glare.

"Heh. I guess she lied about the gun not loaded to lower your guard." Springy said.

"Yep. Now. Can I ask who you are, and why you're here?" Puppet asked the woman.

The woman smirked. "Well, if you want to know, sure. My name is Sandra Jones. I came here because I'm interested in this place." She said. "Oh? What sort of things interest you in this pizzeria?" Springy asked.

"Yes, what sort of things interest you in this pizzeria?" Puppet asked as well.

"Hmm... Well, I heard that this pizzeria has these springlock suits that the employees wear." Sandra answered.

Puppet growled. "If you try to kill someone here, you will not like my other side...." She said, her eyes now glowing red.

"Hehe. Well, I'll be looking forward to that." Sandra said, smirking.

Puppet growled, she began to walk towards Sandra, but, she was stopped when she felt a hand grab her shoulder.

Springy shook her head.

Puppet nodded as she began to calm down her anger.

"So, uh, can you kindly let me go?" Sandra asked.

"....Fine." Puppet said as she unwrapped the strings around Sandra.

"Thank you. My hands were getting kind of numb." Sandra said, rubbing her wrists. "You better not do anything at this pizzeria, because if you do... You are not gonna like us when we're angry." Springy growled. Sandra just smirked and walked away.

Puppet closed her fists tightly. She does not trust Sandra. She felt arms wrap around her.

"It's okay, Puppet. Everything will be okay." Springy said.

Puppet blushed a little.

Springy started to rub Puppet's back.

Puppet rested her head on Springy's shoulder.

Springy started to pet Puppet's head.

Puppet felt her face heating up, she quickly covered her face in Springy's shoulder.

Springy giggled. "You're so cute." She said, smiling.

Puppet felt her face heating up, she quickly covered her face in Springy's shoulder.

Springy giggled. "You're so cute." She said, smiling.

"N-No, I'm not...." Puppet said, still blushing crimson red.

"Yeah, you are." Springy said, squishing Puppet's cheeks.

Puppet blushed completely red, she covered her face as steam was coming out of her head.

Springy giggled.

Puppet couldn't calm down her blush, she felt a kiss on her forehead.

Springy kissed Puppet's forehead.

Puppet began to blush once more.

Springy giggled one more. "She's so cute!" She thought.

Puppet quickly covered her face, hiding her blush.

Springy hugged Puppet, a cute smile on her face. "You're just too cute!" She said.

Puppet couldn't help but smile. "You're cute too, you know." She said.

Springy blushed. "Oh... Uh, t-thank you." She said.

Puppet giggled. "You're welcome." She said.

Springy smiled.

Puppet smiled back.

Springy kissed Puppet's forehead. "Don't worry. If that woman comes here again, I'll make her regret her decision. I will do whatever I can to protect you." She said.

Puppet smiled warmly. "Thank you, Springy." She said.

Springy smiled back. "You're welcome, Puppet." She said.

Puppet yawned a little.

"Are you tired?" Springy asked.

Puppet nodded.

"Here. Maybe a little music will help you." Springy said, opening Puppet's music box.

Puppet smiled a little as she rested her head on Springy's shoulder.

Springy petted Puppet's head.

Puppet smiled warmly as she heard the melody Swan Lake play from the music box, she began to fall asleep.

Springy started to fall asleep too.

"Good night, Springy...." Puppet said as she fell into a deep sleep.

"Good night, Puppet." Springy said back.

Puppet smiled warmly in her sleep. She snuggled her head against Springy's shoulder as she slept a peaceful sleep.

**FLASHBACK END**

Sara slowly opened her eyes as she sat up from the bed, she noticed that Mike and Funtime Foxy were gone. She saw a note on her desk. She picked it up.

"Hey Sara. Me and the others have to go to work. I left a snack for you in the fridge. I hope you're doing okay. - Mike."

Sara went down stairs and opened the fridge.

In the fridge is a freshly made quiche.

"Mike knows what I like after all." Sara thought. Once she ate the quiche, she got dressed and drove to work. She got out of the car.

Mike was standing outside the entrance, worried. He looked at Sara. "Sara! Are you feeling okay?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm feeling alright." Sara replied.

"That's good." He said, smiling. Then, he noticed that Sara's hair was shorter than usual. "Sara. what happened to your hair?" He asked.

"Oh, I had to cut it. It was getting too long." Sara replied.

Mike blushed. "W-Wow... Y-You look really cute." He said.

Sara blushed but smiled. "Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome." Mike said, smiling back.

"Now, should we get to work?" Sara asked.

Mike nodded.

Sara and Mike went inside the pizzeria to see the others.

The others saw Sara and Mary ran up to her. "Sara! What happened?! Are you okay?!" She asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, Mary. I was attacked by Shadow Bonbon in the bathroom. But, thankfully Funtime Foxy saved me." Sara explained.

Marylin sighed in relief. "What happened to your hair?" Mary asked. "She cut it since it was getting too long." Mike replied.

"Yep." Sara said.

The others looked at Sara.

Sara noticed the others looking at her. "What?" She asked, confused.

"Well... I must say, you look really..." Marylin tried to think of something to say. "Sara's cute." Mike said.

Sara blushed from what Mike said. She covered her face to hide her blush.

Mike chuckled. "You're so cute." He said and hugged her.

Sara hugged back, but was still blushing.

Mike kissed Sara's forehead. "That's so cute!" Mary thought.

Sara blushed once more. "B-Baka..." She mumbled.

"Aww, is Sara being a little tsundere now? Aww! That makes it even cuter!" Marylin said.

Sara covered her face in Mike's chest to cover her blush.

Mike chuckled and petted her head.

Steam was already coming out of Sara's face.

"Aww, she's too cute!" Mary said.

Sara blushed once more, almost feeling like she's gonna faint.

"Um, guys, I think she's gonna faint." Mike said.

Sara then fainted, from the lack of blushing so much.

Mike caught her and the others ran to her.

Steam was still coming out of Sara's face. Sara's face was crimson red.

"Is she okay?!" Jeremy asked. Mike picked Sara up in his arms and carried her to the office and laid her down on the couch. "What's going on here?" Nigel asked. "Sara fainted, sir." Mike said.

Sara's blush began to calm down as she was laying on the couch.

Mike held Sara's hand as Nigel looked at the others. "Mind telling me what caused it?" He asked. "She... She was blushing too much and..." Marylin said.

Sara slowly opened her eyes.

"Sara? Are you okay?" Mike asked.

Sara nodded. "Yeah, I'm alright." She replied.

Mike smiled. "That's good." He said.

Sara smiled back.

"So, now that that's out of the way, should we talk about the trip?" Anthony asked.

Sara nodded.

"So, have you guys packed up?" Anthony asked them. "Yeah. Me and Vincent have already packed our stuff." Scott replied.

"Me too." Sara said.

"Same." The others said.

"So, should we get going for the trip?" Sara asked.

Everyone nodded. "Alright. Does everyone have everything?" Nigel asked. Everyone nodded. "Alright, let's go." Nigel said as he led everyone out the door.
