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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAKpX1egPli3
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFbGJtGBw5y
“I still say you should’ve left him.” Harper repeated for like the millionth time.370Please respect copyright.PENANAXzyXteL5PZ
370Please respect copyright.PENANABlHahzjLji
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAb6X8xE1Aqy
370Please respect copyright.PENANApz914jsEU4
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAlWHIO4sa2a
370Please respect copyright.PENANAopL5IXRhs3
“Alright, how to get you down. . .” she knelt, looking at the bear’s face. “I wonder. . . Freddy?”370Please respect copyright.PENANAWtFQUUCYO0
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXosyebwQPI
The bear’s head twitched violently, faint whirring as his eyes turned over to look at her before—370Please respect copyright.PENANAk9LN1FnjW8
370Please respect copyright.PENANA50b2WmVRTI
Flop.370Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jxv1UskVm
370Please respect copyright.PENANAd4E4G1DZJU
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAnKQ64MwgmH
370Please respect copyright.PENANAODR6Zo4xz9
However, as he reached for it, his arm shook and his right hand fell off.370Please respect copyright.PENANAejTFf1TxQ9
370Please respect copyright.PENANAm8U9MSVEYu
“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?”370Please respect copyright.PENANAyHh6rM8lFK
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwvUGA6xUlm
‘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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAySnaeHKq35
370Please respect copyright.PENANAei0gds1rqJ
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAx9lKMmWo9c
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFOWiJfz6b2
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAh0MsPVyW7E
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwhJinofhpE
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAXUvir6PM7A
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4X2SlQi6Nq
Olivia handed her their drinks and walked over to Freddy, carrying his massive paw.370Please respect copyright.PENANAZmTFMJ2u5P
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXpioThCSHU
“Don’t worry, Freddy, I’ll do my best to fix you up.”370Please respect copyright.PENANATABnSm7v7y
370Please respect copyright.PENANAL9b70h0zzw
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA5Eo0yLg6HJ
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWsD7wNWECo
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA5kjVvubqMe
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUJpTPgj6bd
“What the hell happened to you? How’d you get in that place?” The suspicious blonde asked, still somewhat tense.370Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Kfh7Hc0V
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiuEjTEBHSn
“How about you let me try to fix your voice box?”370Please respect copyright.PENANA4ORcxQwsRT
370Please respect copyright.PENANAf5dWWBBgYH
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAt4ZzzK96Sz
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGdoWt5m1Un
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAW25vfJ0Y6l
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUXJIhAsz9R
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAXzfgG1CLXH
370Please respect copyright.PENANAtSabraZSNF
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA53P7nnpMrI
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyb1Oh0IF7l
“So. . . .can we?”370Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y1O2Zj3XR
370Please respect copyright.PENANArlDfm3rkRl
“Y-Y-EEEESS-ZZ-SS.” he said as Olivia walked around behind him.370Please respect copyright.PENANAQEVPcaGrle
370Please respect copyright.PENANA3UF5rj31I8
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAdd1FgnycRu
370Please respect copyright.PENANATj9wXvWjz1
Harper just stared at the bear as Olivia couldn’t find any zipper or opening.370Please respect copyright.PENANAC4ad5WYhH6
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdw8tIHF0m9
As if Freddy heard her thought, he said.370Please respect copyright.PENANAYEchcaAEeB
370Please respect copyright.PENANAjuMha5C1wy
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA7oVMPctqyR
370Please respect copyright.PENANANiivmV1MN6
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAm101LuwmkM
370Please respect copyright.PENANAiCAW2QKQYz
“Whoa, Harper, you gotta see this.”370Please respect copyright.PENANALUQIJtDCN7
370Please respect copyright.PENANAykeYplAaYY
“Holy-”370Please respect copyright.PENANAKjRQkbCEmh
370Please respect copyright.PENANAi63ArDADYz
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!370Please respect copyright.PENANAX4sEgwJiJp
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfhnYoANvxy
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANANU53jHO9qY
370Please respect copyright.PENANALiLew2xE6M
“Here, let me pick up your jaw for you.”370Please respect copyright.PENANARhxoArpi93
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWmL5fTTPOA
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANASDm40BaS2h
370Please respect copyright.PENANAgftz5jD0mr
“She’s fine, just gawking at how advanced your technology is.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAD24rF49OMN
370Please respect copyright.PENANAc0mBDBEKTG
“And I found the problem, Freddy. Just do not move at all okay?”370Please respect copyright.PENANAc5jbILKHP2
370Please respect copyright.PENANAAsA1Ys8fgM
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAW8RTBWga81
370Please respect copyright.PENANAlrXIAGE3U9
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAoPFcrZSgyy
370Please respect copyright.PENANAkfO59GwkCx
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAIQFwbWAM26
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHwaf0JOamT
“M-M-MUUUUCH BETTER!” he grinned as Harper went pale but slowly nodded.370Please respect copyright.PENANAKpeAEjOXcW
370Please respect copyright.PENANANuolx4Mh8p
“Man, that’s creepy.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAvtpP8JcC9L
370Please respect copyright.PENANAzM1SN4ik24
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANASvocBtMSgh
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmCbRUUGn5O
Oh Foxy.370Please respect copyright.PENANAcUP3YvOS7q
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4O03zEVqlf
How he missed his old friend.370Please respect copyright.PENANA6VWtRw5WPE
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVXEToL6X4E
However, this time, he didn’t mean to scare Harper, she was incredibly jumpy already.370Please respect copyright.PENANAKHNjQQjIMY
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdO67S6wWmX
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAEC6WJly8rB
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPw5NKbwk1U
He nodded while Harper joined her, still keeping her distance from Freddy.370Please respect copyright.PENANAsY89WsDRDR
370Please respect copyright.PENANA70yGdhlW1t
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAYnE9uRXsXD
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8T83sk5wee
It stunk in there.370Please respect copyright.PENANA5sxRY4jiyU
370Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Ji05PYfU
Bad.370Please respect copyright.PENANAAl42ii8NMj
370Please respect copyright.PENANAFQgRlSBJWP
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?370Please respect copyright.PENANAid7bqaMKlC
370Please respect copyright.PENANA7sCd3dXUuj
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAuMAV8AhwaP
370Please respect copyright.PENANAchoEY7mBGS
Inside, she could see, what she guessed, was Freddy’s voice box. It was sparking and smoking.370Please respect copyright.PENANA62GTG8w1jq
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPJDCXd9YuZ
“Hey, Harper?” she coughed a bit from the smell.370Please respect copyright.PENANA8vCo5rYXKY
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYCagZ5nQnN
“Y-yeah?”370Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nz2ZF3llj
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4SXAYyPwIZ
“Can you grab my soldering pen and screw driver set? It’s in the top drawer over there.” she said while pointing.370Please respect copyright.PENANAujIsW9Z1oI
370Please respect copyright.PENANABOSX5CqoQx
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAjEe0LZ5zMI
370Please respect copyright.PENANALzvuDvlu6s
However, his odor was definitely making her look more so now.370Please respect copyright.PENANAcxSanwsSIN
370Please respect copyright.PENANArboYgo97uR
Harper walked over and handed Olivia her requested tools, only noticing Freddy’s silence.370Please respect copyright.PENANAeT9BI42mPj
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVMrV14STzg
“Hey, what’s the matter Freddy? You’ve gone quiet, wanna say why?”370Please respect copyright.PENANAy2mS0wOdVb
370Please respect copyright.PENANAz5YWtsJmB7
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA6VNdcdM26m
370Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ8D9il0Cj
Please be able to put it back. He silently prayed, watching as Olivia examined it.370Please respect copyright.PENANASzxCBJa3KK
370Please respect copyright.PENANA7w3irK6llW
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAU2cdVK4gal
370Please respect copyright.PENANAjt0bEPbHbd
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA8cTxtQ4VE8
370Please respect copyright.PENANAjZZOKCFy23
“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.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAbNYqNjGPEC
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6qcmaP7w1m
Freddy nodded. Cindy’s eyebrows rose in surprise. She thought those rumors were made up, but apparently not.370Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Imf7xT1p
370Please respect copyright.PENANASOofqx6Adu
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAOPh1qw7jSj
370Please respect copyright.PENANATcjNt5YUW0
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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAHnoF9eKXbc
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdxmxm3BPmp
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAEs0ovZqHvS
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJDZ5vGqdyJ
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANABAjEQ6uImr
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGujlb9FQH9
“S-Sorry.” he apologised, forgetting Olivia was right there.370Please respect copyright.PENANAZaZA4IzJo4
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ3srHNAzi
“Dang you really weren’t kidding!”370Please respect copyright.PENANAc6dRdGHAv6
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPbOCxrWWC8
Harper giggled at that as Olivia picked up Freddy’s dismembered hand.370Please respect copyright.PENANAGzz9nbE61B
370Please respect copyright.PENANASYsIk0iN7c
“Now let’s get you fixed up.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAcBDZHp9zTA
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXoMlke71BT
Harper snickered.370Please respect copyright.PENANAwwyJyDMs9m
370Please respect copyright.PENANACQjcgLkkN0
“NOT LIKE THAT!” Freddy rose an eyebrow.370Please respect copyright.PENANAQovtbcBaaf
370Please respect copyright.PENANAERogGJ1iba
“What did she mean?” Olivia's face was bright red.370Please respect copyright.PENANARjS8lc6uBz
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMSTeVC9n9P
“Uh, don’t worry about it.” She said, lifting up his arm after Freddy opened his chassis and Harper walked over.370Please respect copyright.PENANA5GDxLVnAW2
370Please respect copyright.PENANAoaCVZafzIP
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANA3hV29jx0Aq
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuiWCUXh1FV
“Can you grab that spanner, pliers and the bigger blowtorch?”370Please respect copyright.PENANAprPB7jZTsY
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxJOnUSA3Qv
“Sure.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAFT7pp3hV0x
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMKgEaaQRcR
Once Harper had her tools in hand, she set to fixing the broken joints and restoring the old metal with new materials.370Please respect copyright.PENANASLlD8BADGV
370Please respect copyright.PENANArM5plkCYqU
“There ya go, Freddy, now that shouldn’t come apart for a very long time.” she grinned, actually enjoying repairing the bear.370Please respect copyright.PENANA3O16WzlLLt
370Please respect copyright.PENANAoefvxLK6w4
“Alright Freddy, so how’d you end up in that warehouse?” Olivia asked, sitting on the floor despite a chair stool being behind her.370Please respect copyright.PENANA67y1eTilbw
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUC1VSrENux
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAFTQcIjwbZb
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwme1MM5LHL
“Others? Oh yeah, I heard there were three more, right?” Freddy nodded.370Please respect copyright.PENANA5FxXfJ0QmN
370Please respect copyright.PENANAgAt1DyezhT
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAnP6vOfHudz
370Please respect copyright.PENANA64WFaSR387
“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.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAKA2YNZIgb1
370Please respect copyright.PENANAf7ACyveKu9
“Really?” Freddy nodded.370Please respect copyright.PENANAude5pYkBNt
370Please respect copyright.PENANAM3XZWyQYas
“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.370Please respect copyright.PENANAuZsEyq7Jj0
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZvMh8CTvgO
“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.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAlwkDA0JgEi
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2ziW11xS3P
He took a mechanical breath before continuing.370Please respect copyright.PENANAEuvAsQzjm5
370Please respect copyright.PENANAin8CPuJt2A
“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.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAbM3UYc5I10
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqhNWlc0q34
“However...” The two stopped and were listening intently to Freddy’s story.370Please respect copyright.PENANAWQyXRzrsN1
370Please respect copyright.PENANASaNLZZY5BV
“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.”370Please respect copyright.PENANAoGZtQjOwxU
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1ymdQS21Dn
“He explained thet Frank’s grandchild, bein' only four, had passed away.”370Please respect copyright.PENANALlR5o9BWaA
370Please respect copyright.PENANAoPYDMqEtzr
“How did that happen?” Harper asked.370Please respect copyright.PENANAYG9yeIJfMX
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwrzm17JVY7
The tattered bear's remaining eye darkened. “It was a horrible accident. .”
