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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAeYp075X8SX
599Please respect copyright.PENANAlEHwRQ35Dq
“I still say you should’ve left him.” Harper repeated for like the millionth time.599Please respect copyright.PENANAgbkil0MBsu
599Please respect copyright.PENANAz5B5YpETPb
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAe486cVGyzJ
599Please respect copyright.PENANAzFauP6kgJx
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQi5K0R4BVr
599Please respect copyright.PENANAs0tfXN8aos
“Alright, how to get you down. . .” she knelt, looking at the bear’s face. “I wonder. . . Freddy?”599Please respect copyright.PENANABNJXc8Uu8e
599Please respect copyright.PENANAzATbcAUtCN
The bear’s head twitched violently, faint whirring as his eyes turned over to look at her before—599Please respect copyright.PENANAZ58COKcHng
599Please respect copyright.PENANAnNZOwJ1x41
Flop.599Please respect copyright.PENANA5ogNu2k4Q9
599Please respect copyright.PENANAg5Sh6Ue3kV
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmN6tDCYQvC
599Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Q5znSI8E
However, as he reached for it, his arm shook and his right hand fell off.599Please respect copyright.PENANAgSyfMKSeIx
599Please respect copyright.PENANA9FkI10NbXN
“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?”599Please respect copyright.PENANARMrPYCb3Fg
599Please respect copyright.PENANAkKEPWdxNMp
‘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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmKEtdkRgX2
599Please respect copyright.PENANAyR5GgYLClk
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAW5I16sbzhE
599Please respect copyright.PENANA5jY3KgKH8X
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA9oDSHIRGxj
599Please respect copyright.PENANAfYjQMo6dDY
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAsMnJqOBo3J
599Please respect copyright.PENANApyilDvB7IR
Olivia handed her their drinks and walked over to Freddy, carrying his massive paw.599Please respect copyright.PENANAinl4YtssU3
599Please respect copyright.PENANA0orWZoxRY1
“Don’t worry, Freddy, I’ll do my best to fix you up.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAiUcKDx2g3O
599Please respect copyright.PENANAmRWLMWm3Xd
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAcrASsDaezb
599Please respect copyright.PENANA19JgqMany1
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAjfamrXxHCB
599Please respect copyright.PENANA09UP4MLPfT
“What the hell happened to you? How’d you get in that place?” The suspicious blonde asked, still somewhat tense.599Please respect copyright.PENANADKNJMnRyhk
599Please respect copyright.PENANABoRvEOSDQc
“How about you let me try to fix your voice box?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAVNYHumcHUI
599Please respect copyright.PENANAV7TBbNXN9h
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAjG9f6xVGJh
599Please respect copyright.PENANARviKnVAhaQ
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANANDtQYdph3M
599Please respect copyright.PENANAE0FqkyRsWA
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAso6oBXNC0z
599Please respect copyright.PENANARbqBUJfnns
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAfDGKJaTCoG
599Please respect copyright.PENANAjp3qxYfxK7
“So. . . .can we?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAL3qcmH4REu
599Please respect copyright.PENANAKb9DVp3aBw
“Y-Y-EEEESS-ZZ-SS.” he said as Olivia walked around behind him.599Please respect copyright.PENANA1oNymixTzU
599Please respect copyright.PENANAjlXxtCtMIn
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAajPj6nw2hq
599Please respect copyright.PENANASBU3ZFdv6x
Harper just stared at the bear as Olivia couldn’t find any zipper or opening.599Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ob4gOWNU
599Please respect copyright.PENANAj4aacGvSmV
As if Freddy heard her thought, he said.599Please respect copyright.PENANA3llWDPjeNE
599Please respect copyright.PENANAUvujjXYwSm
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA92JX2Et2Z2
599Please respect copyright.PENANA1ePqkM89KE
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANApUSx7ItEiw
599Please respect copyright.PENANAKMxfUaGKqh
“Whoa, Harper, you gotta see this.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4uhTQKfC
599Please respect copyright.PENANAPNQSzQBsyt
“Holy-”599Please respect copyright.PENANA5pW3UuuFYR
599Please respect copyright.PENANAIsDxaaO674
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!599Please respect copyright.PENANAS3BJ3HqZiU
599Please respect copyright.PENANAVqHskVd9BC
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAOmzzYfuDEQ
599Please respect copyright.PENANACNaUmgf9iG
“Here, let me pick up your jaw for you.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA3RGgocrWCQ
599Please respect copyright.PENANAClAq4uVdCV
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAC3vTA9mUuH
599Please respect copyright.PENANAxUMs7QQFli
“She’s fine, just gawking at how advanced your technology is.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA6frH2Z3SCU
599Please respect copyright.PENANAVq1IQX1Q6c
“And I found the problem, Freddy. Just do not move at all okay?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAnxHCf4Q7MI
599Please respect copyright.PENANAuHPM0rZ5G1
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANARNALLk5GFg
599Please respect copyright.PENANAI8cjiJgZ17
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmUebL1C2MB
599Please respect copyright.PENANA3EZWoNdzY9
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAKHe6pkqgBK
599Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Jha89gyg
“M-M-MUUUUCH BETTER!” he grinned as Harper went pale but slowly nodded.599Please respect copyright.PENANAyYafoNAOgs
599Please respect copyright.PENANArKEVM2d15D
“Man, that’s creepy.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAc48K0IaV87
599Please respect copyright.PENANANDGBPO322X
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAs8mIIWS8Nb
599Please respect copyright.PENANAIjCsoAqwQD
Oh Foxy.599Please respect copyright.PENANAHij1MMBUuB
599Please respect copyright.PENANAh3ypJjB13U
How he missed his old friend.599Please respect copyright.PENANAqQrUrcz9TT
599Please respect copyright.PENANANymW8wwsVZ
However, this time, he didn’t mean to scare Harper, she was incredibly jumpy already.599Please respect copyright.PENANAMhOX45Sv8L
599Please respect copyright.PENANA2EOLFknQ8z
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA26aIGBLwmp
599Please respect copyright.PENANAyLWeM9l5qq
He nodded while Harper joined her, still keeping her distance from Freddy.599Please respect copyright.PENANAU69tmLAVNb
599Please respect copyright.PENANARba4qyKa4t
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAnopeEk0tms
599Please respect copyright.PENANAt7NI2mO7yp
It stunk in there.599Please respect copyright.PENANAS9DXjcctc4
599Please respect copyright.PENANAsrKbqPpTJK
Bad.599Please respect copyright.PENANAvT7hj0AUn2
599Please respect copyright.PENANAyEXPFia06J
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?599Please respect copyright.PENANAvxKnxqGO71
599Please respect copyright.PENANA9eB09bFMHu
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA80Gr0lDFrZ
599Please respect copyright.PENANAZOBNUNc4Tj
Inside, she could see, what she guessed, was Freddy’s voice box. It was sparking and smoking.599Please respect copyright.PENANAX9rd5cBhVE
599Please respect copyright.PENANAgRGsXvDxp3
“Hey, Harper?” she coughed a bit from the smell.599Please respect copyright.PENANAS7wWGbfdSB
599Please respect copyright.PENANAYk8oxnHwdj
“Y-yeah?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAiCZTP2GTsw
599Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZhZEJ7ERp
“Can you grab my soldering pen and screw driver set? It’s in the top drawer over there.” she said while pointing.599Please respect copyright.PENANAcb9dryMxV4
599Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ3nQtIEef
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAFqcED4GZK7
599Please respect copyright.PENANAyw8I1Aa1I1
However, his odor was definitely making her look more so now.599Please respect copyright.PENANA1Um7BuYevz
599Please respect copyright.PENANA3AazdX72sP
Harper walked over and handed Olivia her requested tools, only noticing Freddy’s silence.599Please respect copyright.PENANAl8nVDWmJN4
599Please respect copyright.PENANAh3sTLtae9B
“Hey, what’s the matter Freddy? You’ve gone quiet, wanna say why?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAjcL6Gj2aKW
599Please respect copyright.PENANAK3jXnvEc25
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA1gu60bUI2s
599Please respect copyright.PENANAZB2TFsx0GX
Please be able to put it back. He silently prayed, watching as Olivia examined it.599Please respect copyright.PENANAkO1Tq1e5AC
599Please respect copyright.PENANAotkekh2cIC
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA0tBDZiUuWo
599Please respect copyright.PENANA7CVtXEEtbb
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAFvSt0crFl3
599Please respect copyright.PENANAwviV1fO2DU
“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.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA45iYLHOL4X
599Please respect copyright.PENANAbecN8D19EQ
Freddy nodded. Cindy’s eyebrows rose in surprise. She thought those rumors were made up, but apparently not.599Please respect copyright.PENANANrbXhyLa2z
599Please respect copyright.PENANA9YtPQGYoYj
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAsP10GfgKZj
599Please respect copyright.PENANAPewr2C9eSv
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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAkBj39oJmOK
599Please respect copyright.PENANAWKafcUk31c
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAXLYnJB94ep
599Please respect copyright.PENANA5QeG5SVRq7
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAeXbkfh4l9K
599Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9f3DXmF70
“S-Sorry.” he apologised, forgetting Olivia was right there.599Please respect copyright.PENANADYaxzbVHJb
599Please respect copyright.PENANACkraUH73AV
“Dang you really weren’t kidding!”599Please respect copyright.PENANAPN8tq5jVGR
599Please respect copyright.PENANApDuJToko9I
Harper giggled at that as Olivia picked up Freddy’s dismembered hand.599Please respect copyright.PENANAsdZjqHmsZM
599Please respect copyright.PENANAwhhoXYEvzx
“Now let’s get you fixed up.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAMo8h6OTvw3
599Please respect copyright.PENANAjjRtzriSY6
Harper snickered.599Please respect copyright.PENANA7020KzhSoq
599Please respect copyright.PENANApjmyF5J67K
“NOT LIKE THAT!” Freddy rose an eyebrow.599Please respect copyright.PENANA70oVAF0xRg
599Please respect copyright.PENANASTWkghGDHb
“What did she mean?” Olivia's face was bright red.599Please respect copyright.PENANASo946hbb02
599Please respect copyright.PENANAPF8gBswvAg
“Uh, don’t worry about it.” She said, lifting up his arm after Freddy opened his chassis and Harper walked over.599Please respect copyright.PENANAv6rVzfio8e
599Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qoi7H36wb
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAMJqwlrZn8K
599Please respect copyright.PENANA3ODzWXLVVa
“Can you grab that spanner, pliers and the bigger blowtorch?”599Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mhx8ao13j
599Please respect copyright.PENANAApyeD9MFwS
“Sure.”599Please respect copyright.PENANALrDZfhvcDH
599Please respect copyright.PENANAbcO7nVtZJ9
Once Harper had her tools in hand, she set to fixing the broken joints and restoring the old metal with new materials.599Please respect copyright.PENANACHc0o1P1Ld
599Please respect copyright.PENANADlQoRhlHVK
“There ya go, Freddy, now that shouldn’t come apart for a very long time.” she grinned, actually enjoying repairing the bear.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQNdx9VdeCC
599Please respect copyright.PENANAri7pHWl9H1
“Alright Freddy, so how’d you end up in that warehouse?” Olivia asked, sitting on the floor despite a chair stool being behind her.599Please respect copyright.PENANA9rnny49PGn
599Please respect copyright.PENANAsBIrHSzfSS
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA6lgUYtSBbI
599Please respect copyright.PENANArwADFQXc69
“Others? Oh yeah, I heard there were three more, right?” Freddy nodded.599Please respect copyright.PENANALZuc911umz
599Please respect copyright.PENANAkOYOJkJ3SU
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANA13gKMx51Fu
599Please respect copyright.PENANAMJtvtM84Q0
“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.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAsvAXM8LOJQ
599Please respect copyright.PENANAmyYmJtdQcK
“Really?” Freddy nodded.599Please respect copyright.PENANAPWzyDaO9YF
599Please respect copyright.PENANAtSCifwltaN
“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.599Please respect copyright.PENANAuAhpWKSdNg
599Please respect copyright.PENANAdL1NmVOP8B
“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.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAJAPnAi4LB1
599Please respect copyright.PENANATXrlciPkZE
He took a mechanical breath before continuing.599Please respect copyright.PENANA7GQyVcpGyJ
599Please respect copyright.PENANAmRHpeW7rv4
“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.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAl40S8V2ot7
599Please respect copyright.PENANAzzTvtmV4cC
“However...” The two stopped and were listening intently to Freddy’s story.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJEBZWdQQM6
599Please respect copyright.PENANAqA5GjsDo6B
“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.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAmfxRfV45H4
599Please respect copyright.PENANAmDm24RYsbq
“He explained thet Frank’s grandchild, bein' only four, had passed away.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA8me9IoVBy5
599Please respect copyright.PENANA8hhWmVVvNF
“How did that happen?” Harper asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANAAGDT56GzlM
599Please respect copyright.PENANAYKeGaeVG6X
The tattered bear's remaining eye darkened. “It was a horrible accident. .”
