When the two finally got home, the pizza was finished off long before as Olivia skillfully reversed up to a large shed, parking just in front of the door.548Please respect copyright.PENANAepTS7s5A8s
548Please respect copyright.PENANAsFCcy25Lmf
“I still say you should’ve left him.” Harper repeated for like the millionth time.548Please respect copyright.PENANAWxhJtdhpK4
548Please respect copyright.PENANAGESmJJJgI4
“Oh, shut up and open the door, I’ll get the tarp off Freddy.” she replied, easily stepping up onto the bed tray, since Freddy’s weight had make the bed a lot lower then normal. Taking the straps off that held Freddy in place, she managed to get the large tarp off the bear, throwing it to Harper, who flinched, complaining it was hot.548Please respect copyright.PENANASb2NM12dTf
548Please respect copyright.PENANANAWs52uFI4
“Well, it’s been in the sun, what do you expect?” she huffed before looking at Freddy. He was currently motionless, slumped against the cabin.548Please respect copyright.PENANARd6610EPkz
548Please respect copyright.PENANAGBlP2gHYTJ
“Alright, how to get you down. . .” she knelt, looking at the bear’s face. “I wonder. . . Freddy?”548Please respect copyright.PENANAqy1Tj9ZcmD
548Please respect copyright.PENANAAeZ3e1MPID
The bear’s head twitched violently, faint whirring as his eyes turned over to look at her before—548Please respect copyright.PENANA5gP6IJ6S2E
548Please respect copyright.PENANAZkYlhKkV7A
Flop.548Please respect copyright.PENANAye6NfIYovV
548Please respect copyright.PENANASsVdIUJLZz
His hat hat fell off, revealing a tuff of fur on his head. Freddy shakily reached a hand for his hat, he loved it even more then his microphone. After all, his creator had given it to him, it wasn’t part of his design.548Please respect copyright.PENANA8a1cG0h1Aa
548Please respect copyright.PENANAlMfCUVdnzu
However, as he reached for it, his arm shook and his right hand fell off.548Please respect copyright.PENANA7smTpObHpP
548Please respect copyright.PENANAZSCY9M0683
“It’s okay, I’ll get it for you.” she picked up the hat, gently dusted it off and put it back on Freddy’s head before picking up his dismembered hand. “Can you walk?”548Please respect copyright.PENANA1i9d13Minm
548Please respect copyright.PENANAU26SQXXNmY
‘That poor son of a bitch.’ Harper thought, seeing how pathetic and sad the bear looked. Maybe that’s why her suicidal friend had the crazy thought to rescue him from the smelter.548Please respect copyright.PENANAWVnupW4qxO
548Please respect copyright.PENANA6HXD0CvHOT
“Ah-ah-ah can. . .” the large bear muttered, shakily standing and walking off the bed tray, carefully climbing down. It wasn’t like years ago where he could easily leap off and run around, his gears were getting old and weary and rust covered most of his gears and cogs, making moving a difficult task.548Please respect copyright.PENANA5GR4JZDJV9
548Please respect copyright.PENANASAwQEeMrW1
Harper had the door up and quickly sidestepped out of the bear’s way as he swayed over near a bench, near a clear spot and sat down. Olivia locked her car after grabbing their drinks, shut the garage door and entered through the side door, switching the light on.548Please respect copyright.PENANAp8tS8rBnpC
548Please respect copyright.PENANAhMYDQYwVfY
However, Harper got a fright from seeing Freddy’s eyes momentarily become white dots. It was part of his night vision feature and it stopped other people from crashing into him in the dark.548Please respect copyright.PENANARSgJv7oOAm
548Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mxn9blePO
Olivia handed her their drinks and walked over to Freddy, carrying his massive paw.548Please respect copyright.PENANAGo64QSAEFz
548Please respect copyright.PENANAIDk7CLbPtn
“Don’t worry, Freddy, I’ll do my best to fix you up.”548Please respect copyright.PENANABNgazIep6D
548Please respect copyright.PENANAHR678yVvZd
“Are you crazy?” Harper whispered, however a mechanical sigh came from Freddy, sounding different from his normal voice. He had slumped in a very human manner.548Please respect copyright.PENANAVsLn9sZIX1
548Please respect copyright.PENANAifBqr78nkd
“Ah-Ah-AH CAN'T THANK Y'ALL-Y'ALL-YA-LLLLL ENOUGH-GH-GH-GH-ZZZZZZ-ZZ FOR HELPIN'-PIN'-PIN' ME-EEEE-ZZZZ. . .” His voice box buzzed like earlier, making it difficult for him to talk clearly but for the most part, he was understandable.548Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ7FCSA5Zk
548Please respect copyright.PENANAaWD26j6X3h
“What the hell happened to you? How’d you get in that place?” The suspicious blonde asked, still somewhat tense.548Please respect copyright.PENANAFRs5rtKz9H
548Please respect copyright.PENANA2rVtcoQ6yC
“How about you let me try to fix your voice box?”548Please respect copyright.PENANA18lMyOykOM
548Please respect copyright.PENANAuRIHweyeWz
“DO-DO-DO-OOOO-ZZ-O Y'aLL KNOW-OW WHAT Y-Y-Y-YOU’RE DOOOOOI-I-I-N'?” he asked, eyes narrowing slightly, surprising the two with the nervous tone in his voice.548Please respect copyright.PENANASH039JVyeG
548Please respect copyright.PENANAyNxiU46Wqh
“She studied robotics in college, I also did engineering, so you’re in good hands.” Harper replied, still watching the animatronic for anything out of the ordinary.548Please respect copyright.PENANAYVyN1QhNS2
548Please respect copyright.PENANAxMO68zkEOU
“To get to your voice box, I actually need to open your chest, if that’s okay?” Freddy weakly nodded, however a click sound was heard and the bear didn’t move.548Please respect copyright.PENANAriSRrBT9Sk
548Please respect copyright.PENANARdyLu1ZJWe
“Ah-AH'M ST-T-UUUUUCK. . .” he muttered, sounding embarrassed as he blinked with a quiet plink noise from his metal eyelids tapping against each other.
Harper forced herself not to giggle as it looked like Freddy’s cheeks were burning up, despite being just fabric, wires and metal.548Please respect copyright.PENANAgbDEsYrr7J
548Please respect copyright.PENANAVU2Cp7h5D6
“So. . . .can we?”548Please respect copyright.PENANAmliHpPkk3Y
548Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6nnEtsk0Q
“Y-Y-EEEESS-ZZ-SS.” he said as Olivia walked around behind him.548Please respect copyright.PENANAqQYlX0P7jb
548Please respect copyright.PENANAiMvMwmGwk8
“Let’s fix your neck first Freddy. That does not look comfy.” she could see an unnatural object sticking up through what she guessed was his chassis but without ripping the fur on his costume.548Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFX0teBsO
548Please respect copyright.PENANAlFjWaSfDxz
Harper just stared at the bear as Olivia couldn’t find any zipper or opening.548Please respect copyright.PENANA4ktbewD280
548Please respect copyright.PENANApxqus1sI9R
As if Freddy heard her thought, he said.548Please respect copyright.PENANAaw6gFquNcD
548Please respect copyright.PENANATzauHAT4GD
“M-MY BA-A-ACK POPS O-O-OOOOFF BY-Y-Y COMMMMMA-A-A-A-ZZZ-ND.” after he said it, a hydrolic hiss was heard as his back opened, slowly until it was parallel with the floor.548Please respect copyright.PENANAzOf1vTbN1n
548Please respect copyright.PENANAOJrNC6qvYx
The fur was securely attached to the hard metal piece that protected the hardware underneath, which explained why she couldn’t find a zipper and how they got Freddy open for repairs. She wondered why they didn’t just fix him instead of trying to destroy the bear.548Please respect copyright.PENANAyREs3zIBXF
548Please respect copyright.PENANAU3OVVzRcri
“Whoa, Harper, you gotta see this.”548Please respect copyright.PENANA1AiNNBbleE
548Please respect copyright.PENANAcD3EhwuP4g
“Holy-”548Please respect copyright.PENANAfImsJdfDP6
548Please respect copyright.PENANAAn3W67tt7n
They could easily spot Freddy’s endoskeleton which itself was impressive but the circuitry was something else. It was the most advance thing Olivia had ever seen, and she’d seen Asimo in person!548Please respect copyright.PENANArcv67zmDsD
548Please respect copyright.PENANAhtCKgp5M9l
It was incredible, how the hell had a pizzeria, of ALL places, have the most advanced technology in robotics in the world? Harper looked at her friend and blinked.548Please respect copyright.PENANA9G2vXHrirj
548Please respect copyright.PENANABfNjfqSKjz
“Here, let me pick up your jaw for you.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAwS11fJhYJn
548Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ofbkazwta
Freddy twitched his ear, trying to move to see if they were hurt but his movement showed the gears and motors inside, specifically his neck motors. They had got stuck behind the metal frame that formed his chassis.548Please respect copyright.PENANAnyfWFUuqFX
548Please respect copyright.PENANA1PW2KsK7Jt
“She’s fine, just gawking at how advanced your technology is.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAMXBkTIU2HY
548Please respect copyright.PENANAZflt8vuQEE
“And I found the problem, Freddy. Just do not move at all okay?”548Please respect copyright.PENANARiMewm0ZEk
548Please respect copyright.PENANAO41LSg7siK
He remained motionless as Olivia unhooked the motorized mechanism that was jammed in part of his head chassis. After freeing it, hearing Freddy sigh in relief, Olivia picked up a thin piece of spare metal and her mini blowtorch, walking back over to Freddy.548Please respect copyright.PENANA5bkulwAOMr
548Please respect copyright.PENANADArxIoN0VB
“I’m just going to fix this so it doesn’t happen again, okay?” a faint nod answered her as she welded the piece inside, creating a barrier that prevented the bulky joint of the neck’s mechanism from catching onto it again.548Please respect copyright.PENANARDU7cPbg6d
548Please respect copyright.PENANAwPHUGRzJqP
“Okay, Freddy, try that out.” Harper said, only to jump when his head spun completely around to stare her in the eyes with a somewhat cheeky grin, his bottom eyelids rising to make him look like he was smiling.548Please respect copyright.PENANAIGH4a9tXmm
548Please respect copyright.PENANAho6siZh5xw
“M-M-MUUUUCH BETTER!” he grinned as Harper went pale but slowly nodded.548Please respect copyright.PENANACwUjBr09lK
548Please respect copyright.PENANAZgOZOBLxkG
“Man, that’s creepy.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAerG7hcdheH
548Please respect copyright.PENANAGs2KInC9z2
“S-S-SORRRY. . .” Freddy apologised. He used to do that to kids who misbehaved to give them a fright, especially when they used to pick on Foxy.548Please respect copyright.PENANAFmbp8elQkU
548Please respect copyright.PENANAEZIOngoBPM
Oh Foxy.548Please respect copyright.PENANAcCiW54kWaG
548Please respect copyright.PENANAawr8Dzwy6N
How he missed his old friend.548Please respect copyright.PENANAtWrMm0CInJ
548Please respect copyright.PENANAaqdGe3Uns1
However, this time, he didn’t mean to scare Harper, she was incredibly jumpy already.548Please respect copyright.PENANAySNFK8EX4u
548Please respect copyright.PENANA0sIPhG0gAW
Olivia stood back. “Alright ,Freddy, that’s done, now I need to fix your voice box.” She said, walking around to kneel in front of Freddy. Even when he was sitting, he still towered over her, which was a tad bit intimidating.548Please respect copyright.PENANAzCcGXyk4yd
548Please respect copyright.PENANAP0IPfVFSfy
He nodded while Harper joined her, still keeping her distance from Freddy.548Please respect copyright.PENANAbMFXb91LKm
548Please respect copyright.PENANAmn1Fr59gr5
His chest made a click and the top half opened like a cabinet, revealing more complex circuitry. However a puff of black smoke rose from the cavity as soon as those pieces opened, making the woman pull her head back and wave it away from her face as Harper grimaced.548Please respect copyright.PENANA0mORBTij7R
548Please respect copyright.PENANAo2NviVTW9Y
It stunk in there.548Please respect copyright.PENANAzvYlftPigC
548Please respect copyright.PENANABfwltPTbPU
Bad.548Please respect copyright.PENANAMKEwEh7qeB
548Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZXGSAN0jH
Olivia, however, leaned in once the smoke was gone but the smell made her eyes water from being so close. Did they ever clean the animatronic?548Please respect copyright.PENANAYXWYhRlT3J
548Please respect copyright.PENANAz7VSIMMqR7
She guessed not, as poor Freddy’s cheeks were glowing bright red in embarrassment, which Harper noticed, but Olivia didn’t, since his head was above her and out of her view, since she could only see the bottom of his jaw if she looked up.548Please respect copyright.PENANAL8BpjJ9pE3
548Please respect copyright.PENANAPRMg36koHo
Inside, she could see, what she guessed, was Freddy’s voice box. It was sparking and smoking.548Please respect copyright.PENANAS2QtAu3YrG
548Please respect copyright.PENANAYAbDw23tkv
“Hey, Harper?” she coughed a bit from the smell.548Please respect copyright.PENANAH81HwRlnJ3
548Please respect copyright.PENANArEPSjjRfGf
“Y-yeah?”548Please respect copyright.PENANAe7L3dhZtyd
548Please respect copyright.PENANAIYzhnDZweZ
“Can you grab my soldering pen and screw driver set? It’s in the top drawer over there.” she said while pointing.548Please respect copyright.PENANACjUQP3QzAJ
548Please respect copyright.PENANAzsWheuIpzC
Freddy didn’t dare talk. Whenever he did, he felt his voice box spit out sparks and it hurt him, so it would probably hurt the child in front of him a lot more. Yes, he knew Olivia was an adult, but she didn’t look like it, especially with her height. She was a bit smaller then the adults he had seen, paler, skinnier. He almost confused her for being sick.548Please respect copyright.PENANATS7lTO0vTi
548Please respect copyright.PENANA7rgNcH1V6t
However, his odor was definitely making her look more so now.548Please respect copyright.PENANADOIx5yEfM3
548Please respect copyright.PENANAoXtwjocRiI
Harper walked over and handed Olivia her requested tools, only noticing Freddy’s silence.548Please respect copyright.PENANANmNGMG5JQe
548Please respect copyright.PENANAhz7vW61aLJ
“Hey, what’s the matter Freddy? You’ve gone quiet, wanna say why?”548Please respect copyright.PENANA4TkUaz3Huj
548Please respect copyright.PENANA9NrxOgTX74
Freddy only shook his head, they were still dangerously close to his sparking and malfunctioning voice box. He noticed that Olivia had started fiddling with his voice box, actually removing it briefly, which made him incredibly uneasy.548Please respect copyright.PENANAl9kVIKX709
548Please respect copyright.PENANANqiOAh673D
Please be able to put it back. He silently prayed, watching as Olivia examined it.548Please respect copyright.PENANAoEfW0l2TAG
548Please respect copyright.PENANA4hAqGVd3Hv
“There’s the problem." the wires had fried out long ago, which surprised her that they were still working, which they really shouldn’t have been. She walked over to a drawer, reaching in while staring at the voice box.548Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6kCi7Lfrb
548Please respect copyright.PENANAfOLhc1G4wU
“That looks like. . . . this gauge. . . man all of these wires are seriously fried.” she mumbled, grabbing the required parts before going over to the bench beside Freddy and picking up her soldering pen, starting to repair the worn out voice box.548Please respect copyright.PENANAE0ZW5f6HPq
548Please respect copyright.PENANAiPD5Yuc68h
“From what I heard Freddy, you were an incredible singer on stage, they say you could easily be heard from outside as if you were standing right in front of them.”548Please respect copyright.PENANASiUXQpMn4e
548Please respect copyright.PENANA8YmBKiF0HF
Freddy nodded. Cindy’s eyebrows rose in surprise. She thought those rumors were made up, but apparently not.548Please respect copyright.PENANAfWcgRaUU5F
548Please respect copyright.PENANAwm1ZCrOkD4
Harper would ask Freddy a few questions and he’d either nod or shake his head to confirm the rumors she heard from townsfolk.
By the time Olivia had finished, Harper got to know a bit about Freddy from his response to certain questions.548Please respect copyright.PENANARhaonx2zzi
548Please respect copyright.PENANAAdMZajt9Q3
Olivia walked over, a small grin on her face before kneeling in front of Freddy and installing his new voice box with high quality pieces rather then the cheap crap they originally had in there.548Please respect copyright.PENANAPjfX5npsjf
548Please respect copyright.PENANA3jKsIkGNHx
“It’s great to see you two getting along. Alright Freddy, how’s that?” she asked, leaning back as he still had a really bad odor.548Please respect copyright.PENANA6bMSclWauB
548Please respect copyright.PENANAl61tO6lOjH
“AH FEEL FANTASTIC!” he boomed happily, wiggling his ears-until one got stuck but he didn’t care, he was just so happy to have his real voice back! Now that his voice was clearer, he had a noticeable raspy Southern drawl. However he looked at Olivia and winced. Her ears were ringing.548Please respect copyright.PENANAtBkWK1ESBl
548Please respect copyright.PENANAOoAQwN9sI7
“S-Sorry.” he apologised, forgetting Olivia was right there.548Please respect copyright.PENANAo9UERIA0uD
548Please respect copyright.PENANA34WLpeRmmc
“Dang you really weren’t kidding!”548Please respect copyright.PENANAmAwOnWI69v
548Please respect copyright.PENANA8dL0sneAqa
Harper giggled at that as Olivia picked up Freddy’s dismembered hand.548Please respect copyright.PENANAetPUhTDDRZ
548Please respect copyright.PENANAyCgnPQK5Jc
“Now let’s get you fixed up.”548Please respect copyright.PENANASuFFdVSQqP
548Please respect copyright.PENANAyWei1ZpvFr
Harper snickered.548Please respect copyright.PENANATjwXLctbmU
548Please respect copyright.PENANApuNtB5cCcs
“NOT LIKE THAT!” Freddy rose an eyebrow.548Please respect copyright.PENANAbTY1s2OqBf
548Please respect copyright.PENANAwmmh85qQiL
“What did she mean?” Olivia's face was bright red.548Please respect copyright.PENANAcN3MjCtZu8
548Please respect copyright.PENANAwDw1nuXajm
“Uh, don’t worry about it.” She said, lifting up his arm after Freddy opened his chassis and Harper walked over.548Please respect copyright.PENANAcrBpHfYGaS
548Please respect copyright.PENANAmcD4BefwiK
“Hang on, sweetheart, this is my department, remember?” she chuckled, handing her friend Freddy’s giant hand as she set to work. This let Olivia stand up and stretch, her back popping.
Harper realigned Freddy’s wrist link with his arm’s link and cuff. She clicked it in and pointed.548Please respect copyright.PENANAw2hpM55y8f
548Please respect copyright.PENANAP0xqAV1rtX
“Can you grab that spanner, pliers and the bigger blowtorch?”548Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y7GC1EJBo
548Please respect copyright.PENANAGAe0mZS37P
“Sure.”548Please respect copyright.PENANACAfGog7KWa
548Please respect copyright.PENANAKvXIlFtyj4
Once Harper had her tools in hand, she set to fixing the broken joints and restoring the old metal with new materials.548Please respect copyright.PENANAF0GQCJFFlt
548Please respect copyright.PENANATsSLvPmuW5
“There ya go, Freddy, now that shouldn’t come apart for a very long time.” she grinned, actually enjoying repairing the bear.548Please respect copyright.PENANAm0jHI11IsW
548Please respect copyright.PENANA2BishizEnY
“Alright Freddy, so how’d you end up in that warehouse?” Olivia asked, sitting on the floor despite a chair stool being behind her.548Please respect copyright.PENANAu5tvGCUdAp
548Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJOQg6i4s
“Well, mah former owner, once buyin' the Pizzeria from the original owner, Mr. Fazbear, he built thet new pizzeria after shuttin' our old home down. However, back then, mahself an' the others could still move around.” Harper blinked.548Please respect copyright.PENANAExQQUxOaMD
548Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ui8HYgnSN
“Others? Oh yeah, I heard there were three more, right?” Freddy nodded.548Please respect copyright.PENANAhJNU8JD7CX
548Please respect copyright.PENANAzbWYEMqVMs
“Yeah. Bonnie the Bunny, he loved playin' his guitar. He would always light up when the kids clapped an' yelled his name. It was even better when we was able to walk 'round, 'cause the young ones would surround an' hug him.” he recalled. He nearly sounded like he was watering up.548Please respect copyright.PENANAxYuPADcK6a
548Please respect copyright.PENANAs1FjTkiSmR
“The next animatronic, was Chica. She was the best with the young ones an' would often be tellin' 'em stories 'bout us an' the cupcake she had was basically her best friend. She had made it herself.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVg0Jaw15
548Please respect copyright.PENANAhHjzWssXbz
“Really?” Freddy nodded.548Please respect copyright.PENANAm50nniaIE6
548Please respect copyright.PENANAbRczxc6pdD
“Indeed, the lil' cupcake would be hugged by the kids an' would occasionally make a small squeak, like a mouse if Ah recall correctly.” Harper couldn’t help but grin, that sounded so damn cute.548Please respect copyright.PENANAT5VBSBbAFJ
548Please respect copyright.PENANASHv6IedQKi
“An' then there was Foxy. . . . He was everyone’s favorite. . . In the Pirate's Cove, he had a large ship, a stage prop but built after a real ship. Mr. Fazbear’s best friend Frank was a fisherman who would often sail across the ocean, but as kids they would pretend to be pirates, playin' around. His friend had bright red hair an' was the inspiration for Foxy.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAS5JuBRHklp
548Please respect copyright.PENANAksjaiCBvMB
He took a mechanical breath before continuing.548Please respect copyright.PENANAxkNSPOQWJW
548Please respect copyright.PENANATrW0EhFtFo
“When Frank an' Mr. Fazbear was older, Frank got a ship called the ‘Pirate's Cove’ an' they would have plenty of trips with friends an' family. This was the inspiration for the name of Foxy’s set. An' his ship was made from pieces of the actual boat itself. Ah remember Frank’s face when he first saw the pirate fox, it was priceless, he fell in love with the quirky character right off.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAYuR9fy7q2k
548Please respect copyright.PENANAqVrudHoyZk
“However...” The two stopped and were listening intently to Freddy’s story.548Please respect copyright.PENANAHi1OXs35Aw
548Please respect copyright.PENANA5hsP7cYuSQ
“Frank had his own dark secret. . . one thet none of us saw comin'. . . When he was much older, Frank started to act strangely. He would come to the Pizzeria like usual, but he would stare at the kids a lot more then normal. It didn’t seem right. After the show, Ah asked Mr. Fazbear bout it.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAcXavggcDCI
548Please respect copyright.PENANAKRV2my73Yq
“He explained thet Frank’s grandchild, bein' only four, had passed away.”548Please respect copyright.PENANAFh6Qp1jaXj
548Please respect copyright.PENANAoZxGIIl0QX
“How did that happen?” Harper asked.548Please respect copyright.PENANAA5gTNtE6Kl
548Please respect copyright.PENANALROPAvNJJo
The tattered bear's remaining eye darkened. “It was a horrible accident. .”
