Notes:
So far, everything is going according to the main plot with some minor deviations.
Freddy was started in safety mode. After that, his vision and all the functionality returned to him. The only problem was that it wasn't fully charged. Fazbear standing in front of the mirror and began to reason out loud:
Freddy: «Showtime already? I am experiencing a malfunction. The recharge cycle is not complete».
Gregory: «Shh! Will you shut up?!» – he spoke with displeasure.
Freddy: «Who said that?» – the bear asked in perplexity.
Gregory: «I did! I'm down here!»
Freddy: «Down where? I still do not see you».
The boy sighed, and then continued:
Gregory: «Okay listen, you were sleeping so I opened the stomach hatch and climbed inside».
Freddy: «My stomach hatch? That place is reserved for over-sized birthday cakes and piñatas! It is not a safe play-area!»
After these words, Freddy immediately pulled the boy out of himself and, holding him in his hands, after the words:
Freddy: «There you are», – immediately started scanning Gregory.
A bluish ray went out of the animatronic's eyes, which went all over the boy's face. After the scan, he lowered it to the floor.
Freddy: «Scanning complete. How odd. Your guest profile is unknown to me. Who are you?»
The boy was a little confused, but still answered after 3 seconds:
Gregory: «I… I’m – Gregory».
Freddy: «Gregory… Hm. I will notify the main office…»
*5 seconds of silence*.
Freddy: «Huh, connection error. I cannot connect to the main network».
And then it dawned on the boy:
Gregory: «It's her. She cut you off. She's not going to let you call for help until she finds me».
Freddy: «Who? Who is looking for you? Your mother?»
At this moment, Gregory flinched a little, as he was touched to the quick. He didn't know where his parents were or even who they were. A reproachful glance in the direction of Fazbear ran across his face, but he didn’t have time to say a word, as footsteps were heard outside the window.
Gregory: «Shh! I hear footsteps».
It was Vanessa with a flashlight, who was still looking for the boy. As soon as the animatronic saw her, he immediately reacted:
Freddy: «That is the security guard. She can help!»
The boy started up.
Gregory: «No! No, I don't trust her».
Freddy: «Why not?» – he asked in surprise.
Gregory: «I don't know who she is, but she's trying to get me. Isn't there some other way for you to communicate with me besides talking so loudly?»
For some reason, it seemed to Fazbear that it was worth believing the boy and even decided to help him a little.
Freddy: «Ah, take this. It is a novelty Freddy Faz-Watch», – the animatronic pointed to the table with the gift, which has a rotating handle.
The boy looked at Fazbear with questioning surprise, and then at the gift. After that, he obeyed and opened the gift. It really contained some kind of smartwatch with bearish plastic ears in the form of a frame. Some kind of signal came from them in a fraction of a second.
Gregory: «What was that?» – the boy looked questioningly at Fazbear.
Freddy: «I am sending you an encoded message».
Gregory looked at his watch and opened the message, after which a voice was immediately heard from them:
[Freddy: «Hello Gregory! It is me, Freddy! I will escort you to the main entrance! However, I am unable to leave this room. You should have no problem! There is a button on the wall that will open the door to the back room. I will make it accessible to you now»].
This message was also in text format. The boy immediately went in search of the button. After about 30 seconds, he found her behind the slot machine. After Gregory pressed the button, the door to the pantry opened.
Freddy: «Well done Gregory! There is an open-air vent inside the maintenance room. You will have to climb through the ventilation system, and release me from the outside».
The boy came to the door, but was in no hurry to go inside.
Gregory: «It's pretty dark in there».
Freddy: «There is nothing to be scared of. You can do it».
He obeyed the animatronic and carefully walked towards the ventilation. Fortunately, a ladder of boxes was made in front of her, thanks to which he easily climbed there.
Ventilation led through all the rooms of the other animatronics. The first was Roxanne's room. Her voice came from there:
Roxy: «Your performance was perfect tonight!»
Gregory decided to come closer and saw that she was talking to herself in front of the mirror.
Roxy: «Thank you. Your hair is beautiful. Your tail is beautiful. Everyone was watching you. Everyone loves you. Everyone wants to be you! You are the best! Thank you… I am the best… I am the best».
The boy was disappointed by the animatronic's egocentricity and narcissism, after which he began to dislike her. He crawled on.
The next room was a little dark. However, there was still a little dim green light. It clearly belonged to Monty. There was an incessant rumbling coming from his room. The boy did not come close to him and crawled on.
Next was Chica's room, where she was warming up on her guitar. So far, it was one of the most adequate animatronics he had seen. Freddy doesn't count! He looked through the bars at Chica for about a minute, admiring her talented guitar playing until he remembered that he was expected, and he himself should not linger, since the institution could close at any time. Gregory crawled on…
