Chapter 18: Do Not Be Afraid

3rd Person P.O.V:

Freddy, Bonnie, & Gregory had arrived at a Laser Tag attraction. "We are here!" Bonnie says in excitement. "Bonnie, are we sure this is okay?" asked Freddy. "Of course, Freddy. Don't worry, we have a kid here." "I meant about the darkness." "There are a lot of lights in there, Freddy, it'll be okay." "Hmm. . .if you say so. I trust you, Bonnie." "Don't worry, Freddy, and trust in your superstar." Bonnie says, turning to Gregory. "Wow. . ." he says looking at the colors. "Let us go, superstar!" says Freddy, and Gregory says, "Yea! Let's go, dad! Bonnie!" They went to get a ticket for the laser tag.

"Sorry, but animatronics cannot play laser tag." says the employee, seeing Gregory holding Freddy's hand. "But adults can play too!" says Gregory. "Gregory, we are animatronics, it would be cheating if we play. Plus, our eyes are sensitive to bright, flashing lights." Freddy explains. "That's not fair!" Gregory says. "Hey Gregory, don't worry, we'll be near, observing up top." Bonnie tries to reassure Gregory. ". . .Promise?" asked Gregory. "Of course, we promise." Freddy says, and Bonnie nods. They got a ticket for Gregory, and helped Gregory put the gear on. "You're all ready, Gregory, shoot them out!" Bonnie says. "I-I'll try." Gregory says, holding the laser gun. "Gregory, remember to aim & shoot. But not the eyes, okay?" Bonnie says, helping Gregory aim the gun. "I know how to shoot." "Maybe, but was it at living person?" Bonnie asks, and Gregory remains silent. "Let's practice a little, shall we?" Bonnie suggests.

Gregory practices shooting, Bonnie puts his hands out & up in different heights letting Gregory shoot his palm. Gregory getting the hang of it, Bonnie says, "Awesome job! You're a natural!" Bonnie says, and Gregory smiles. Freddy smiles, glad to see his son & crush getting along~. Bonie notices a watch on Gregory's wrist, that he didn't have earlier at home, and was about to ask, but the game was going to start. Freddy hugs Gregory, who hugs back, Freddy says, "Good luck in there, superstar." "Thanks, dad." Gregory gets in the laser tag arena, Freddy & Bonnie goes to observe.

"Bonnie, thank you for taking Gregory out." says Freddy, and Bonnie replies, "No problem, and Gregory deserves it. I want him to have fun & be happy. No child should go through what he went through." "Bonnie, I appreciate you." "Come on, Freddy, I appreciate YOU. You cared for someone, saved a child from an abusive family." "Bonnie. . ." "You're amazing, you just keep getting more & more amazing! You're a hero, not only you saved me, you saved Gregory, and who knows how many people out there you saved already!" "B-Bonnie, I am not a hero." "You are to me, and no one can change my mind! I want to help you & Gregory." "Bonnie, I am honored, and I am sure Gregory would love your help & company." Freddy gently holds Bonnie's hand, Bonnie blushes, they stare at each other, unconsciously leaning towards each other~. . .

A voice from the speaker comes, and the two get startled a bit. It was an announcement that the laser tag has started, there was a sound of a guitar for music & ambiance; Freddy & Bonnie looks through the glass, seeing the bright laser tag arena. They soon spot Gregory, "I hope he has fun in there." Bonnie says, and Freddy replies, "I am sure he will." The two watch, cheering Gregory, even if he can't hear them. Bonnie sees the watch on Gregory's wrist, "Freddy, I was gonna ask earlier, but why does the watch Gregory have looks kinda like you?" "Oh, that is a FazWatch, it is a new merchandise the company is making. The one Gregory has is a prototype." "A FazWatch? That is cool! I knew I didn't recognize that in the merch store of The Glamrocks. Will there be animatronic wrist sized FazWatches?" "I am not sure about that. It is still in the testing phase. The prototype Gregory has can be used like a phone, but must be in close proximity, I can talk to Gregory directly from here, but if I am at work, I cannot." "It's short ranged huh? Then the finalized version would just be a phone on the wrist?" "I assume so." "That's still cool, I want it!" "Haha, you do not need it for communications, Bonnie. It would be useless for us, animatronics." "Still, I want it~." Bonnie says, his ears wiggle in excitement, fanboying a bit. Freddy giggles, finding Bonnie so cute~. Everything was going great. . .however. . .

Suddenly, lights turned off in the laser tag arena. Freddy & Bonnie immediately looked back, searching for Gregory. "What's going on!?" Bonnie says, then the announcement comes that the lights went out temporarily, it will be recovered soon. "Gregory!" Freddy shouts, and tries to find a way to get in. "Freddy!" Bonnie goes after Freddy, help Freddy find a way in.

"Please calm down, the lights will be restored soon!" said the employee. "But Gregory, he. . .do not panic, Freddy. . .there must be another way." Freddy calms himself. "Freddy, how does Gregory react in the darkness?" "His breathing would be difficult, start to have a cold sweat, it is not severe, but. . .I am concerned." "We need to let him know it's okay. Hmm. . .I got it! The announcement!" "'Announcement'?" "Gonna cause some trouble, but is that okay?" "Anything for Gregory." "Alright, let's go superstar!" Bonnie says & the two rushes to the announcement room, pushing through security. "H-Hey! This is staff only!" "We apologize!" Freddy says, and Bonnie takes out his bowling ball, smashing the lock on the door, and uses his hop function to push open the door. The people inside get startled. "Freddy, mic!" Bonnie says, and Freddy says, "I apologize, but this is an emergency!" Freddy grabs the mic, and Bonnie looks around, spotting the guitar. "Holy buns! Gonna borrow that!" Bonnie grabs the guitar, the two runs up to the glass to look into the arena, searching for Gregory. Freddy spots Gregory, "There, Bonnie!" Bonnie soon spots a good vantage point, "Freddy, there, we can use that platform!" Freddy & Bonnie look at each other, then nods.

In the arena, Gregory was having fun, dodging shots & shooting opponents, however. . .the lights turned off, some children screamed in surprise, hugging their parent, parents calling for the children. The announcement explains the situation, telling the participants to stay where they are. Gregory starts to pant, "Hah. . .hah. . .d-dad?" His FazWatch flickers, Freddy's voice comes, "Gregory, do not panic, Bonnie & I will find a way in!" "Dad. . .okay. . .c-calm down. . .don't panic. . ." Gregory takes few deep breathes, however. . . "It's past your bedtime~. . ." a creepy voice rings in his ears. He looks around, but all he sees is darkness. "Are you having fun yet~?" Another voice comes, Gregory backs up, holding his laser gun, "Dad. . ." Gregory tries to call out for Freddy, but he hears footsteps. All of a sudden, the kids' voices & footsteps were not heard in Gregory's ears. . .he can only hear footsteps with a weird tacky sound, and ringing in his ears. Gregory backs up, hitting a wall, and slides down on the floor, he covers his mouth, having cold sweat & panting.

'Let me out! Please!' 'You misbehaved, you brat!' 'Stay in there for a lesson!' 'Mama! Papa! Please! Let me out! I'm sorry!' "I'm sorry. . ." Gregory mumbles. 'Found you~.' 'Don't hurt me! Please! I-I'm sorry!' 'You saw it. . .' 'I-I. . .' "I. . .please. . ." Gregory mumbles. 'Where are you~?' 'Hehehehe~. . .' Gregory tears up, then looks at his FazWatch, Freddy's message, [Gregory, do not panic, Bonnie & I will find a way in!]


Flashback:

"Wait!" Freddy says as he chases after Gregory. "Don't come near me! Go away!" Gregory shouts, as he throws stuff at Freddy. "Ouch! You cannot stay here, child. Ow! I will escort you out of here. Ack!" Freddy says while getting hit by the things Gregory threw. "Stay away!" Gregory runs, but it was a dead end. He looks up, and sees a vent, he starts to climb a shelf to reach up there. "That is not a play area!" says Freddy, soon, the shelf starts to shake, falling inwards. "Ahhhh!" Gregory shouts, and falls to the floor. "Ow!" Gregory yelps, he looks up, and sees the shelf falling, he crawls back, but the shelf fell & onto his ankle. "Ahhhh!" Gregory shouts in pain. Gregory pants, feeling pain in his ankle, he hears Freddy coming, and Gregory hurries to move, but the shelf was too heavy on his ankle. "Come on!" Gregory tries to force his foot out. His breathing became more rapid in fear, starting to sweat more. Freddy caught up to Gregory, Gregory winces, "I'M SORRY!" He braced for pain. . .but. . .

"Here you go." Freddy says, Gregory opens his eyes, then sees that Freddy had moved the shelf off his ankle. "Are you okay? You are hurt. Let me take you to a medical station." Freddy says, and offers his hand. Gregory's breathing slows down, and says, "I. . ." "I apologize for scaring you. I am Freddy, and you are?" ". . .I'm. . .Gregory." "Gregory, you must be lost. First, let me help you." Gregory hesitantly takes Freddy's hand, and Freddy gently picks up Gregory, then carries him to the medical station, aiding Gregory's ankle.

Until 6am, Freddy looked after Gregory. Gregory was in Freddy's arms, Freddy running a heat function to keep Gregory warm. "Freddy. . ." "Yes, Gregory?" ". . .Thank you." "You are welcome. Tomorrow, I will take you home to your parents." "No! I. . .don't have a home." "Are you homeless?" Gregory nods, and Freddy says, "Oh Gregory. . .I am so sorry. I truly am. . ." Gregory frowns, tearing up a bit. "Do not worry, superstar. I am here with you." Gregory looks up at Freddy, who smiles, "There is nothing to be afraid of. You are safe with me."

Flashback Ended.


"Freddy. . .you're my only family. . ." Gregory mumbles, hugging his knees, tears slide down his cheeks. Footsteps coming closer to him. . .suddenly, a sound of glass breaking rings through the arena. Gregory looks up from hearing that, then sees Freddy & Bonnie jump onto a platform in the arena, from the slight light they get from the broken window room.

"Do not panic, you are safe with me!" Freddy says into the mic, everyone in the arena hears him. "Is that Glamrock Freddy!?" "Oh my god!" "Look, Freddy is here!" Gregory could hear the other people's voice now, the ringing in his ear had halted. "Dad?" says Gregory. "Ready, superstar~?" Bonnie asks, getting his guitar ready. "Yes I am." Freddy replies, then Bonnie starts playing a song, and Freddy starts to sing. Everyone was captivated by Freddy's voice & Bonnie's music. Gregory stands up, looking up at Freddy & Bonnie.

"And then the nightmare started, it got deafeningly loud

Every fiber in me screamed out but I couldn't make a sound

The whirling of a vortex, a violent carousel

It sounded like a freight train was dragging me to heck" sang Freddy with passion, and Bonnie picks up the music.

"And this was my prayer, "Save me from this terrible nightmare""

Gregory felt a wave of strength through his body, it felt like a shiver, but a good kind, from how Freddy sang. The message ran through Gregory's body & mind. Lights turned on as well, now everyone clearly sees Freddy & Bonnie on the platform, performing & singing. Freddy had his hand out, unlike the lyrics, Freddy looked more like he's here to save. Soon, music changes to smooth & slow.

"And that was how I learned to live when you can run but you can't hide

How to feel trapped in a tunnel but come out the other side

Cuz with all the stormy weather in the world, you learn to take

Life one storm at a time, you don't have to be afraid"

Freddy looking towards Gregory, Gregory grips on his gun, wipes the tears he had.

"And now when there's bad weather on the way, I stay calm

And I keep hanging on because it's always darkest before the dawn

And I keep hanging on

I keep hanging on"

Slowly, the song ends, then applause fills in & out of the arena. "Do not be afraid, keep hanging on, because there is always someone who loves you & will save you. Be brave & stand up." Freddy says, and lowers his mic. "DAD!" shouts Gregory, Freddy looks down at the arena, finding Gregory. Gregory smiling & waving his hands, then says, "THANK YOU!" Freddy smiles, then says, "Bonnie, over here." Bonnie turns to Freddy, who gestures him to see, then Bonnie sees Gregory. Bonnie smiles, and says, "Mission accomplished~." Freddy says, "Thank you, Bonnie." "It's not just me, you did a great job, plus that singing. . .I love it~!" They giggle~.

Later, it was already late & dark. "Welp, we definitely messed up some stuff, but on the bright side, Gregory is okay." Bonnie says. "Yes, and that is what matters." Freddy says. "That was awesome!" Gregory says. "Haha, glad you enjoyed." Bonnie says. "Thank you, Bonnie." Gregory says, and Bonnie smiles, his ears wiggle in joy, "You're welcome, Gregory." "It is dark, Gregory." Freddy crouches then, opens up his stomach hatch. "Does Gregory fit in there?" Bonnie asks. "He does. Whenever it is dark outside, I let him in my chest cavity till we get home or somewhere with light." Freddy says, then Gregory replies, "It's okay, dad. Today, I can stay out." "Are you sure?" "Yea! I don't want to be afraid of dark. . .so. . .I'm going to try & be not afraid!" "G-Gregory. . .you are a brave superstar." Freddy pats Gregory's head, Gregory giggles. "You two are such a wholesome family." Bonnie compliments them.

The three go home together, Gregory wanted Bonnie to stay, so Bonnie does. Freddy cooks up dinner, and the three eats together. Time passes, it was Gregory's bedtime, Freddy tucks Gregory in bed, Bonnie beside him. "Goodnight, superstar." Freddy says, and Gregroy replies, "Goodnight, dad. . .Bonnie." Bonnie smiles, "Goodnight, Gregory." Soon, Gregory falls fast asleep, Freddy keeps the nightlight on just in case, then the two quietly exit the room.

"I'm glad Gregory is happy." Bonnie says. "I am glad as well." "Well, I should be heading home now." "You are not going to stay?" Bonnie blushes, "Um. . .I. . .can?" "Of course, you helped me & Gregory so much, it is already late, please, stay overnight." "Y-You sure? I mean. . ." "Bonnie, I am sure. I. . .want you to stay." "Freddy. . ." "I. . .Bonnie, I. . .also wanted to talk about. . .us today." "'Us'?" "Yes, I. . .I showed & told you everything about me, at least, the big things, and. . .I want to know. . .where we stand." "'Where we stand'?" "Yes. You do not need to tell me everything, but I hope. . .my feelings. . .are delivered to you." Bonnie blushes more, "F-Freddy. . ." "Bonnie. . .I really. . .really like you. Not as a friend. . ." Freddy blushing, gently holds Bonnie's hand. "I. . .cannot bear the thought. . .of losing you to someone else. . .you are talented, beautiful, so kind, and thoughtful. . .I will not find anyone else better than you, Bonnie." "Freddy!" "Y-Yes?" Bonnie blushing red, he looks at Freddy, then confesses, "I like you too, Freddy! You saved me from the darkest place I was at. . .I lost all hope for music, but you were there to rekindle my light of hope! I. . .I really. . .really like you. More than a friend." "Bonnie. . ." Freddy holds Bonnie's other hand as well, and says, "Bonnie, I. . .will you. . .be my boyfriend?" Bonnie's eyes start to spill pure oil like tears, then replies, "I WILL. . .I will, I will, I WILL!" "Bonnie~!" Freddy pulls Bonnie close, Bonnie wraps his arms around Freddy's neck, they stare at each other, then gently leans in. . .until their lips connect~.

Finally sharing a kiss~. Freddy's hands slowly moved down to Bonnie's waists, the kiss felt like the best thing ever~. When they part, they are left breathless. "Freddy~. . ." "Bonnie~. . ." "We. . .kissed, didn't we~?" "Yes. . .we have kissed~." "Hehe. . .it felt amazing~." "I wholeheartedly agree~." "Freddy. . .I like you." "I like you too, Bonnie~." "Can we. . .share another?" Bonnie shyly asks, Freddy blushes, "Of course~." They lean in for another kiss~. "Mmmm~. . ." The two moans, feeling each other close~. They are now officially boyfriends~.
