it'd been five years since Foxy had seen Mike. five years since they'd closed down Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria and opened the second Freddy Fazbears Pizza. these new toys were annoying, and they were back to their old game, killing the nightguards. Jeremy Fitzgerald were the current nightguard, but none were as good as his long lost lover Mike Schmidt. Foxy was currently hiding in the hall with Freddy while Chica took one vent and Bonnie took the other. the guard sat at his desk, mask on and he jumped when Bonnie and Chica jumped out at him.

"BONNIE!" Mike shouted, running over to hug the giant rabbit. "oh god what did they do to you? where's your face?" Mike ask softly, looking him over. he heard a noise and turned around. "Chica!" Mike shouted running over to Chica and hugging her tightly. "what have they done to you guys?" Mike said looking between the two. Bonnie and Chica confusedly stared at him. angry, Foxy growled and ran at the guard, just as Mike took his helmet off, sweat making his hair stick to his forehead. Mike paused a second. "Foxy!" Mike shouted, running towards Foxy. the Pirate skid to a stop as Mike jumped at him, arms wrapping around his neck and legs around his waist, he clung to Foxy. he dug his face into his neck. the Fox stared confused at Bonnie and Chica, arms out as he tried to catch his balance. Bonnie reached out with his arm and pushed Foxy back gently, to keep him from falling forward. Freddy walked up from behind them, worried about all the commotion. all four animatronics stared at the man confusedly. "god I missed you." Mike muttered quietly.

"wait Mike?" Freddy ask shocked. Mike pulled his face back, wiping at his eye's.

"yeah. it's me." Mike murmured. immediately at his words, Foxy's arms wrapped around him and tightened, holding Mike tightly. he whined, tail wagging wildly, despite the horrible grinding noise it made.

"he's happy to see you, but you should know, they can't speak. none of them can." Freddy said.

"I don't care, I thought you guys had been melted down for scrap." Mike murmured.

"if you thought that, why did you come here?" Freddy ask. Mike held tighter to Foxy, looking away ashamed.

"I came to die. I'd been to every scrap yard I could find and couldn't find anything about you guys, then I found out about this place and came to die." Mike muttered. Foxy growled lowly at his words, holding Mike tightly.

"he thinks your an idiot." Freddy muttered. Mike glared at Freddy.

"believe it or not, I know how to understand Foxy and that is not at all what he said." Mike hissed. he hugged Foxy again and got down. "I know. I'm sorry." Mike mutters quietly. he stepped back and looked around. "what have they done to you?" Mike ask.

"they used us for parts with the others." Freddy said.

"for those stupid new things?" Mike ask. he nodded.

"yeah." Freddy said. they all looked up at a growl.

"what is that?" Mike ask.

"Mangle." Freddy said. Foxy pushed Mike back protectively. "its dangerous and attacks everyone. sometimes even kids." Freddy warned. Bonnie passed Mike the Freddy helmet and the guard took it, not looking away from the mess of an animatronic before him. "screw off you mess of parts." Freddy glared. it shifted, almost grinning at Freddy.

"ni-ni-night gu-gu-guard." it smirked.

"what is it?" Mike ask.

"dangerous." Freddy replied. "put the helmet on." Freddy added. Mike quickly put the head on and watched as the creature twitched.

"to-to-too, too late night guard." it laughed and jumped at Mike. Foxy was faster and slammed the creature on the ground hard.

"Foxy." Freddy warned. the Pirate growled at him.

"let it up Foxy. it's okay. I'm okay, let it up." Mike assured. Foxy stood up and watched the creature scramble off. "I wish I could help you guys..." Mike trailed. "get you out of here." he added.

"you can't. not with the cameras." Freddy sighed looking into the hallway.

"the cameras." Mike said heading for his desk. Foxy gave a quiet whine.

"what about them?" Freddy ask.

"I... I can sneak you around the cameras." Mike said. "I mean I'm the night guard. I know these camera's better than anyone else." Mike added.

"but you've only been here for three hours?" Freddy raised an eye brow.

"someone clearly doesn't remember my first week." Mike said amusedly. "I had the entire pizzeria and vents, plus your routines down by the third night. by the end of the week it was a game to you guys to see who could catch me off guard first. it was a game." Mike smiled. Foxy stood beside him and nodded.

"Mike, there is one big problem. we're your friends. yeah it took us three days for us to realize it was more fun to chase you then kill you, but these guys... Mike they'll kill you without hesitation." Freddy said.

"you would've killed me without hesitation had that fire not broken out." Mike replied not looking up from the screens, planning out the best escape route. Freddy huffed and Mike smirked at him. "alright. I got a way out." Mike smiled.

"but how to we get you out?" Freddy ask.

"no one ever told me all I could do was sit here. I was told if I smoked I needed to step outside, but to be careful because the outside camera's don't work." Mike smiled. "I can get out easily avoiding the cameras and no one will ever notice." Mike shrugged. "if anything they'll think I'm dead." Mike added.

"are you sure you can do this Mike?" Freddy ask. Mike nodded. "what are you going to do with us when we get out of here?" Freddy ask curiously. Mike thought a moment.

"well I'm thinking I could just take you guys back to my house. you'll be fine. I have a three bedroom house so you'll all be fine. just get outside and to my truck. lets go." Mike said. he started heading out in the hallway but Foxy grabbed his shoulder. "what?" Mike ask. Foxy pointed to the vent. "I am not going through that vent Foxy. those things crawl through it." Mike said.

"it would be safer." Freddy said.

"hardly. I'd be trapped in a vent with that stupid bunny or that chicken who takes her beak off or that creepy kid thing that wants my flashlight." Mike frowned.

"hello." the giggling voice said. Mike turned to the vent.

"yeah that thing." Mike glared grabbing his flashlight, ready to hit the thing. Foxy stopped him, taking the flashlight from him. "what are you doing?" Mike ask.

"Foxy and Balloon boy generally work together. he doesn't want you to hurt him." Freddy explained. Foxy took the flashlight apart and held the batteries out to Balloon Boy. the animatronic seemed excited and snatched them up, running off. the Fox shrugged at Mike, then motioned for him to keep going.

"it likes batteries?" Mike ask.

"its collects them." Freddy said.

"why?" Mike. the bear gave a shrug.

"not sure." Freddy said.

"okay... um... it would be dangerous for me, if I sent you guys out without me. so, I'll lead you guys. I'll get you out of here, just watch my back." Mike said.

"you protect us, we protect you." Freddy said. Mike nodded and lead the way slowly, dodging the camera's. "where's the normal guy? he's only been here two days." Freddy said.

"Jeremy? oh uh... he had an accident. an unfortunate accident that had to happen for me to be here." Mike said. Foxy made a noise at him. "what? no I didn't kill him!" Mike huffed.

"well what did you do?" Freddy ask.

"me? nothing. nothing... I can't help that he tripped down those stairs and broke his ankle." Mike huffed. Bonnie looked at him, Mike was sure he'd be frowning if he could. "don't judge me Bonnie." Mike muttered. the bunny shrugged his shoulder.

"we're tired of living like this." Freddy sighed, looking at his broken down friends.

"camera, duck." Mike said. the animatronic ducked and followed him. "living like what?" Mike ask.

"broken. damaged." Freddy said.

"I can fix you. don't worry. I'll have you all running normally in no time." Mike assured. he froze and Freddy almost stepped on him. there was another version of Freddy.

"where's your mask?" Freddy ask. Foxy held it out to him and Mike put it on quickly.

"where do you think you're going?" Toy Freddy grinned, tilting his head to the side with a creepy grin.

"oh just when I thought those things couldn't get any uglier." Mike muttered. he heard what he assumed was a snort from Foxy. Toy Freddy reached for Mike and Foxy let out an animalistic growl. Freddy put a hand on Mike's shoulder gently and pulled him back, putting him behind himself. immediately Bonnie grabbed onto Mike, carefully, and pulled him back closer to him. Mike looked up at the Bunny confused. Bonnie stared at the Freddy's. the Freddy mask was throwing off all their sensors as well, but they knew it was Mike.

"fuck off." Freddy growled, glaring at the Toy version of him.

"it's him." Toy Freddy growled.

"don't touch him." Freddy hissed. "or I'll rip you apart." Freddy added. Mike perked up.

"wait thats a great idea. so when they come in and you four are missing they'll think you guys went nuts last night, took me and killed me, then escaped." Mike said. Foxy whined slightly. "yeah I know, but they don't know that. Freddy tear him apart." Mike said. Bonnie pushed Mike behind him quickly, pushing him between himself and Foxy. Freddy chuckled.

"with pleasure." Freddy smirked, jumping at the Toy. Foxy held Mike closer to him.

"he was way too quick to agree to that." Mike said, looking up at Foxy. the fox grumbled the best he could and Mike nodded. "I see. so you guys all hate the toys?" Mike ask. the other three nodded. Mike nodded again watching his friend destroy his creepy replacement. Freddy smirked and stood. Mike kept the helmet on and continued to lead them outside. "shit." Mike mumbled.

"what?" Freddy ask.

"they told me the camera was broken." Mike said motioning to the camera. "hold on I'll have to think of a way to get you guys and myself out of here." Mike mumbled. Chica waved her arms some, looking at Bonnie. the rabbit nodded and pointed at the dumpster. Foxy growled in disagreement. Mike looked between them. "what are they saying?" Mike ask. Freddy seemed hesitant.

"well.... Chica thinks we could pretend to throw you in the dumpster and run off." Freddy said. Mike thinks quietly and nods.

"alright, I got this. I play dead. Freddy, you and Foxy will drag me to the dumpster with Chica and Bonnie following. Chica will 'notice' the camera and point it out to Bonnie. Bonnie you'll climb up and destroy the camera, just before they dump me into the dumpster. then, I can get you guys home with me." Mike said. Foxy shook his head. "sorry Foxy, this is what we're doing." Mike said.

"so how are you going to play dead?" Freddy ask.

"I'm going to lay down on the ground. you and Foxy just grab my arms and drag me." Mike shrugged, laying on the ground. Freddy shrugged some and grabbed Mike's right arm. "come on Foxy. you're not actually going to hurt me." Mike said, holding his left arm out to Foxy. the pirate whined slightly but grabbed his arm. "trust me on this." Mike said. Foxy nodded slightly. Mike let his head drop back. "oh god this Freddy head weighs like five pounds." Mike mumbled. Freddy chuckled slightly as they dragged Mike towards the dumpster. Mike watched them. they shifted him and Mike let his head fall forward, being as limp as he could. "I'm getting road rash on my back." Mike muttered.

"we can lift you up a little." Freddy offered.

"no this is fine." Mike muttered. "Bonnie the camera." Mike said. Bonnie turned and looked at the camera. he headed over and reached up for it. he made sure they could just see Mike between his fingers, just as they were about to dump him into the dumpster, Bonnie crushed the camera. "okay put me down." Mike said. the two let him go and Mike dusted himself off.

"now what?" Freddy ask.

"now I sneak you guys home." Mike said. they nodded and followed Mike.

"you walk to work?" Freddy ask. Mike nodded.

"yeah. I live like twenty minutes from here." Mike said. they nodded and started on their way. Mike found it amusing that Foxy wouldn't leave his side, but he loved it. he'd missed Foxy and their friends. Mike smiled and lead them to his house.

the animatronics were utterly surprised find boxes and boxes of things from the old Pizzeria.

"Mike...?" Freddy ask confused.

"I woke up one morning to Frank banging on my door. he just left a shit ton of boxes. you haven't seen my garage." Mike said, sounding slightly annoyed. "but, I know for a fact that they have parts in them that I can use to fix you guys up. anything they didn't sell off or give to the new place, is in these boxes." Mike added, pulling the Freddy head off. "he stops by sometimes to go through them... or well he used to before he died." Mike frowned.

"this is almost creepy." Freddy said looking around. "is that an endoskeleton?" Freddy ask, looking into the kitchen.

"yeah." Mike frowned, looking at it.

"where's his head?" Freddy ask.

"on the table. he tried to stab me so I took his head off to work on him." Mike shrugged slightly. "uh, you guys can just make yourselves at home. I won't work on you until you shut off. okay?" Mike ask. they nodded and sat down, watching Mike sigh and start opening boxes. he frowned pushing boxes aside, then heading out towards his garage. he came back pushing a large box.

"do you want help?" Freddy ask.

"nah, I got it." Mike said. he opened the box and started going through it. "awesome. looks like I'll be starting on Bonnie." Mike said, pulling a new Bonnie head from the box. the rabbit seemed almost relieved to see his face.

"that doesn't have any eye's." Freddy said.

"look Freddy, I've got over a hundred boxes of crap okay? somewhere in here, I have some Bonnie eye's." Mike said. Freddy frowned and sat back quietly. Foxy whined slightly, looking at Mike. "yes Foxy, I even have parts for you." Mike assures. the Pirate smiled the best he could. Mike looked at his watch. "it's almost 6. I'll wait a bit and when you guys are off I'll work on you." Mike smiled. the four nodded.

"Mike-" Freddy started, watching the guard go through another box. Mike pulled a sharpie from his pocket and labeled the box Chica. the chicken tilted her head.

"whats up Fred?" Mike ask, going to the next box.

"thanks." Freddy said. Mike turned to look at them all sitting in the floor of his living room. an almost relieved smile on his face, he shook his head at Freddy and turned back to his boxes.

"don't thank me yet. I still have to fix you up." Mike said looking at his watch. he turned back to his friends. "see you guys tonight." Mike murmured, waving. the animatronics slowly shut down and Mike wasted no time getting back to work.

when the animatronics woke up they immediately felt better. they weren't perfect and there were pieces of them laying all over the house.

"Bonnie, you have a face again." Chica murmured, leaning against the bunny.

"and you have your voice back." Bonnie sighed happily, holding her. Freddy smiled at them, but his attention landed on Foxy, who carefully got up out of the floor and walked off, ears twitching.

"where's he going?" Freddy mumbled. the other three got up and followed the fox. they found him in the kitchen, staring at Mike's sleeping form. the man was at the table, slumped over, with what looked like pieces of Chica in his hands, there were pieces strewn about the table. he was snoring and drooling all over the table. Foxy smiled slightly and walked over to the man, gently scooping him up. it appeared the man had spent all day working on them. Foxy looked silently at the other three, clutching his sleeping lover. "best to go lay him in bed." Freddy said softly. Foxy nodded and the other three stepped out of the way. he shifted Mike gently and carried him off to his bedroom. he laid the man down gently on the bed and cuddled him, sighing softly with a small smile on his face. they'd be back up and running in no time with Mikes help. he held the man tightly, hopefully Mike wouldn't hurt himself trying to help them. Foxy shook his head slightly, rubbing Mikes cheek with his thumb gently. he and the others would prevent Mike from getting hurt. the fox settled in beside him and shut his eye's content to lay away his time awake with Mike.
