Freddy opened his eyes, and expected to see sunlight. There was no sun. Only moon. Right, we're moving at night so no one sees us... He stretched, several joints popping in the process. Ah, that feels so much better. He sat up, and saw that everyone was still sleeping. He turned to the side, only to see Applejack right in his face. He jumped in his seat and fell off the log he was sitting on.

"Sorry, didn't mean to fighten ya." She took off her hat and started chewing on it.

"Well then maybe don't just pop up in my face like that!" He sighed, and hoisted himself back on the log. "Whaddya want?"

"Well, I was thinkin' that since we're the only ones up, we could make some breakfast for everyone."

He squinted at Applejack. "Out of what? Apples?" He said that last bit in a sarcastic tone, which stirred up a few glares from her.

"Well, I would if I had found any. I couldn't. But I did find a pear tree. Pears are more fragile than apples, so I need somepony to help catch them."

"Ah-ah-ah... You said somepony. I'm not a pony, so I guess you're S.O.L."

Applejack tilted her head to the side. "S.O.L?"

"Shit outta luck." Freddy's legs creaked as he stood up and started walking.

"And where do you think you think you're goin' now?"

"Going to wake Bonnie up so I have someone worthwhile to talk to." He now stood next to Bonnie, who was still propped against the tree with his legs in the air. Freddy gently pushed on one of Bonnie's legs. He fell over.

Bonnie woke up with a shock. "What in the fresh crusty hell?" He asked, blinking to clear his eyes.

"Wake up you lazy piece of shit."

"Fack you..." Bonnie said, slurring his words due to the fact that he had literally just woken up. "I'm goin' back to sleep." He laid back down onto the grass.

"The hell you are!" Freddy pulled Bonnie off the ground with one hand, and stood him upright.

"What do you WANT from me?"

"First of all, you're acting like an entitled kid, and second of all, go help AppleCrack pick some pears." He pushed Bonnie towards Applejack.

"FINE!" Bonnie complained, obviously cranky from just waking up. He nudged Applejack, "C'mon Applepie..."

"Er- Applejack-"

"Whatever Applebitch..." This got a laugh from Freddy. Applejack sighed and trotted up to Bonnie.

Freddy looked over at Chica and Foxy. Foxy had climbed a tree and slept, whilst Chica slept in a patch of moss. He looked around for LOLBit, but she was nowhere to be found. Oh shit, she's our only way to find Afton! Where the fuck did she go? He frantically whipped his head around to see if she was in the area. He saw a glimpse of white behind a bush. His legs creaked as he approached the bush.

"Foxy, listen to me goddammit! This is important!" LOLBit scorned as Funtime Foxy finished untying the rope that hung a dead technician.

"LOLBIT, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! YOU'VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FREDDY GETS RESTLESS! IF YOU DON'T HURRY THE FUCK UP HE'LL JUST RIP US ALL UP AND GO UP TO THE SURFACE HIMSELF AND GET HIMSELF KILLED! YOU'VE ALREADY FUCKED UP ONCE WITH LETTING MICHAEL LIVE, I FEAR THAT IF YOU DON'T COME BACK QUICKLY HE'LL DELETE YOU!" He tried to keep his voice down as to not alert Yenndo or Funtime Freddy, but it was no use. She just couldn't turn his voice down.

"Oh birthday boy~" A raspy voice sang after the sound of shattering glass. "A-Are you r-r-ea-dy for round two?!" He was holding up Bon-Bon with one arm and had grabbed Ballora by the neck.

"NOT YET, FREDDY! WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR LOLBIT TO COME BACK WITH THE VINTAGE MODELS SO WE CAN-"

"Yeah, yeah, so we can play pretend like we do every day. Why do we need a disguise if we're 6 foot tall murder bots that could just slaughter everything in our paths? Like, we get it Baby, you're traumatized because you 'accidentally' ate a kid. I mean, we could literally just-"

"Freddy, please put me down." Ballora tapped Funtime Freddy on the leg with one of her long, spindly fingers.

"Oh, sure." He dropped her, and continued to talk as the skinny ballerina crawled back to her room on all fours. "As I was saying we could literally just..." He continued to yammer on as Funtime Foxy focused on LOLBit.

"I'm telling you, they're not just suits! They're-"

"ENDOSKELETONS AND MECHANISMS, I KNOW, I READ THE BLUEPRINTS TOO, DON'T THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL!"

"B-but Foxy-"

"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! BABY WANTS THE SCOOPER TO BE READY IN PRECISELY 3 DAYS, 21 MINUTES AND 33 SECONDS! AND YOU KNOW IT TAKES A LONG-ASS TIME TO BE RECALIBRATED!"

"But-"

"GOOD DAY!" She never liked to end a conversation on a sour note, but he had to get the Scooper ready or she'd run the risk of being left out of the Ennard and forced to stay underground. He sighed, and walked across the room where the Scooper was as Funtime Freddy kept talking about leaving Baby behind and just breaking out of the rental.

LOLBit sighed as the connection between her and Funtime Foxy dropped. "Who're you talkin' to there?" A deep voice demanded, making LOLBit jump. She turned, and saw Freddy with his eyebrows knit together in suspicion.

"Oh! Uh- just talking to myself. Doin' some research on Afton, yanno, the usual." She smiled nervously as Freddy raised an eyebrow.

"What else did you find?" He prodded. LOLBit frantically racked her brain for anymore information on the purple man when two southern voices called out for everyone. Both LOLBit and Freddy turned towards Bonnie and Applejack, who's pear picking trip had apparently come back successful. Freddy turned back to LOLBit as he creaked up to walk back. "I have my eyes on you, LOLBit."

Chica woke up to the sound of Bonnie and Applejack, and the smell of pears. The other ponies walked out of their tents, yawning. She looked around for Freddy and LOLBit, and saw that they were walking towards the campsite. She heard an energetic voice behind her, which she could only assume was Pinkie Pie.

"Goooooood morning-er-evening everyone! OOOOh are those pears? Nice." Pinkie made a beeline for the pears after everyone had the chance to grab one, and downed the rest of them. Chica shook her head, and sat next to Freddy on the log.

The two sat in silence for a while, then Freddy broke the silence. "I don't think I trust LOLBit that much anymore."

"What? Why? She seems so nice!" Chica wiped the pear juice off of her beak.

"I dunno... I saw her hiding behind a bush and talking out loud. She said that she was talking to herself and doing research on Afton, but when I asked about what more she had found, I could tell that she was trying to think of something." He took another bite out of a pear.

"That is kind of suspicious... I dunno, she could've been... Damn, what was it called? 'Lagging'?"

"Maybe... But I'm still keeping my eye on her." He finished his pear, and cracked his back. He tried to get up, but decided to just sit on the log. Chica looked up to see Foxy carrying the toolbox and blueprints.

"Oi, Freddy!" Foxy sat the blueprints and toolbox down in front of himself. "Let's take at look-see at them legs o' yours."

"Oh! Alright..." And he stuck his legs out. Foxy made sure to not accidentally catch on the suit with his hook, and tried to bend one of Freddy's legs.

"Hm." He tried harder, but Freddy's joints were as rusty as an old boat, and screeched like the demons of hell.

"AGH! Jeez, Foxy!" He rubbed his leg. "That hurt like hell..."

"Sorry... I think I have something to fix it in here..." Foxy dug through the toolbox. "Damn. But I do have some WD-40, that'll help." He pulled the can out of the toolbox, and started to spray Freddy's knee joint with it. After he covered the entire thing, he moved on to the other joint. "I'll have to move your leg in order to properly apply the WD-40. Try not to scream, 'kay?"

Freddy was about to say something, when Chica started to speak again. "Wanna hold my hand, big guy?"

"Uh- Y-yeah..." He gripped her hand and inhaled sharply as Foxy moved his leg. The metal screeched just as loud as the other one, if not louder.

Bonnie's ears flicked to the side at the sound of bushes rustling. He turned to Rainbow, who was sitting next to him, watching Foxy fix Freddy's legs. "Did you hear that?"

Her ears also flicked to the side. "Yeah, I do." She heard the sound of humans talking. "I think they heard the metal!"

Bonnie stood up and whistled to grab everyone's attention. "Y'all, we gotta pack up and leave, people are coming!"

"OOOH! Can we meet them, pleeeeeease?" Pinkie pleaded.

"No, we have to leave now! They're coming!" Rainbow warned.

"But I'm not done!" Foxy exclaimed.

"We don't have time! We have to go!" Chica pulled Freddy off the log with a grunt. "Where's LOLBit?"

"I haven't seen her!" Twilight said whilst peering into the bushes. "They're getting closer!

"Bro, is this seriously where you saw those dumb animatronics?" A voice from the bushes asked.

"Yeah! And those weird ponies from that one show!" Another replied.

"Go, go, go, go, go" Freddy demanded, everyone running towards a big rock in the distance. He limped behind, trying to ignore the oily feeling in his knees.

"THERE'S ONE!" A pubescent teen shouted as he saw Freddy struggling to move.

Chica heard one of the teens shout as she turned to see Freddy trying to run. She fell back, grabbed his hand, and bolted towards everyone else, Freddy forced to keep up. They made it to the rock where everyone was, and found that there was a cave inside.

Author's Note

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh I'm back and I brought a brand-new PC and festive cookies.

didja miss me?

Seriously though, I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. My laptop broke, I couldn't fix it cuz of quarantine, when I went to go see if it could be fixed, it couldn't be fixed, so I had to scourge the deep corners of the internet for a replacement laptop but decided to buy a PC and monitor instead, which the monitor and PC took ages to get here because none of the stores are in stock for anything and backflow of mail and shit, but I'm FINALLY BACK!

And as always, I love every single one of you that take time out of your day to read my dumb stories.
