The beaming sun crept thought the curtains, leaving a soft glow on Montgomery's green metal skin. His large arms and tail gently wrapped around the h/c haired girl, with his snout resting on her head. His eyes fluttered open, and looked down at Y/N. A small smile curved upon his muzzle till he gently let go of her and tapped her shoulder with his black claws.

"Y/N..."

"Ooohh Y/N..."

"Y/N heh, wake up!"

"Y/N GET UP!"

Y/N instantly sat up from her bed with her wide e/c eyes. "Huh what.....Monty?" her h/c hair was frizzed up as her drossy eyes looked at the red haired gator.

"Ya know, you really like sleeping in." Montgomery chuckled as he adjusted his spiked belt. Y/N gave the gator a confused look till she glanced at the clock that read 11:30am.

"Well that's your fault, you wanted to watch that stupid movie last night." Y/N grumbled, slowly getting out of bed and moving the blankets. "Thanks to me, I cut it short." she yawned and stretched her arms. Suddenly, a small grumble was heard from Y/N's stomach, making her groan.

"Ooo! I'll make breakfast!" Montgomery quickly made his way to the door and opened it with his claws. Y/N her the loud stomps of the gator running through the hallway and making it to the kitchen. She let out a sigh and followed him.

"Do you even know how to cook?" Y/N asked with her hand holding the side of her face while she sat on the counter, watching the gator go through the pantry and other cabinets. "I can make waffles! I've seen one of the staff members make some in the kitchen." Montgomery exclaimed as he took out a box of waffles. He grabbed the toaster and plopped it on the counter, plugging it in. He placed the waffles inside and glanced at Y/N.

"See! Told ya, easy peasy." Montgomery said with a huge smile on his face that showed his sharp teeth. Y/N let out a small chuckle as they patiently waited for the waffles.

Pop! The sound of the waffles coming back up quickly got both Y/N and Montys attention. Montgomery grabbed the waffles with his long claws and placed them on a plate. He grabbed syrup and drizzled it on the waffles. Once he placed it on the counter, Y/N reached her hand to grab it until the gator stopped her.

"Somethings missing.." Montgomery mumbled, tapping his chin.

"Oh my god, Monty it's waffles. It doesn't need toppings like pizza." Y/N chuckled. Montgomery playful rolled his eyes and opened the fridge. He looked inside, his tail swung low to the tile floor. Y/N could hear the rustling in the fridge till Monty glanced back at her with a whip cream can in his purple gloved claws.

"Monty you're a genius!" Y/N squealed as the gator sprayed the whip cream on Y/N's waffles. The h/c haired girl smiled then instantly dig in. Monty turned around from her. "Y/N loves waffles with whip cream...noted." he mumbled as a smile curved upon his muzzle.

"What are we going to do today?" Montgomery asked as Y/N threw away her now empty plate in the trash. "Well right now I'm gonna take a shower, you wait here and don't answer the door to anyone what so ever." said Y/N, making her way to the nearby bathroom. The animatronic gator gave her a confused look as he watched her go inside the bathroom from a far.

Y/N entered and closed the door. She set her towel aside before doing the usual. She started the shower, watching the warm sprinkles of water hit the floor. She got undressed and stepped in the shower, closing the curtain....

The large scaly animatronic gator let out a long sigh. He slightly turned his head and glanced at the bathroom door. She might take a while in there...what should I do? He looked at the TV then slowly grabbed the remote. Pressing random buttons with his long black claws, the channel switched multiple times. Montgomery stared at the screen with his reddish pink orbs, examining everything that popped up.

"Is your pet alligator having some problems?" the TV spoke.

"What?" Montgomery snarled.

"Well we got the trick for you! Meet the new, and improved, alligator muzzle! Too hard to strap that tape on his snout?" the man on the television pouted. "Now you can easily slide it on! When the metal feels the alligators snout, it'll quickly shut and tighten it all on its own!"

"What..is this?!" the animatronic gator let out a disgusted scoff. "W-who has a pet alligator?" he nervously chuckled. Montgomery let out a annoyed sigh as he clicked the remote and changed the channel over and over. Till something caught his attention.

"Then why do I have this feeling when I'm around you?" the man on the screen cried. It was raining, the sky was completely grey. The mans brown hair was soaked as water dripped down. Montgomery scooted closer to the television.

"What are you trying to say, Conner?" the girl with long black hair sniffed, slowly turning her head to who Monty could assume was Conner.

"This feeling I get...only happens when I'm with you. It feels like..time has stopped. As if no one else exists, only me and you. Everything goes silent and all I can hear is your voice! And my heart," Conner grabbed his chest. "My heart..it feels like...like it's getting shocked. It's such a strange feeling, but I love it. I love you, Akemi!" Conner shouted.

"...love.." the gator mumbled. He placed his hand on his chest, where a heart should be and thought about all the times his chest sparked around Y/N. "Am I......wait.."

The sound of the bathroom door opening instantly caught the attention of Montgomery Gator. He quickly sat up, seeing the h/c haired girl walk out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. His eyes widened, and felt the shock in his chest as his body jolted.

"Oh hey Monty, what were you doing?" Y/N asked, tightening the grip on the towel.

The animatronic tried to speak, but nothing came out. His large tail started to wag as he stared into Y/N's e/c hues.

"Oh..am I making you uncomfortable? I'll go change then." Y/N turned around.

"No no not all, I'm fine seeing you like this."

Y/N gave him a concerned look. Realization suddenly hit the gator. "W-wait not like that! I mean..I like seeing you like th- wait no that's not right..I'm comfortable seeing you- no
u-uhh I'm like..not...uncomfortable-" Monty heard the footsteps of h/c haired girl walking towards her bedroom. The animatronic gator quickly turned around and let out a sigh. "Oh my god what was I thinking? Stupid stupid stupid!" Montgomery whispered loudly, pulling his red mohawk with his long black claws.


"Are you still malfunctioning?" Y/N asked, leaving her room fully clothed and making her way towards the robot gator that sat on the couch, his reddish pink orbs stared at the screen in front of him. Montgomery turned his head towards her. "Oh uh...I think so?" he chuckled nervously.

"Hm..do you think they're going to check up on you in the morning?" the h/c haired girl plopped herself on the couch and glanced at Monty. "Yeah they will. I don't know if I'm going to perform tomorrow either." Montgomery let out a small sigh.

"Aw, what a shame." Y/N brought her knees to her chest, hugging it tightly. Montgomery looked down at her with a small smirk. "Aww are you going to miss me?" the gator leaned towards her, his snout centimeters away from Y/N's face. "Pff!" she grabbed his muzzle and pushed it away. "As if! You can get pretty annoying you know." she scoffed. "Oh but you love it!" Montgomery chuckled. Y/N rolled her eyes and watched the screen that played in front of her.

The large gator sat up from the couch and made his way to the kitchen. Y/N peaked at him as Monty clicked a button near his shoulder. A small metal box was shown and he pulled it out. The gator opened the box, revealing the crumbled chewed down pieces of fries he had yesterday. He turned to Y/N, waving the box in his long black claws.

"Could you wash this?" he asked. "I don't want to risk getting any water on me." Montgomery chuckled nervously. Y/N nodded and sat up. She walked towards him and grabbed the now empty box, making her way to the kitchen sink. "So this box thing is in near your shoulder area, I know that the public won't see it but wouldn't it make sense if it was placed in your stomach?" said Y/N, washing the box out with cold water.

"Oh, we have these erm....chest cavity things!" Montgomery clicked the yellow button on his chest with his scaly green hands. "I don't understand the purpose for it though, I guess I wasn't programmed to know." Montgomery sighed, watching the h/c haired girl dry down the small metal box. Y/N turned her head towards him to see his whole chest and stomach opened. Her e/c orbs examined it as she moved her head closer to it.

"Don't you have some type of..skeleton thing inside you though? Where is it?" she asked.

"Oh an endoskeleton! When this chest cavity is activated, the middle part of the endoskeleton goes up. But it's still attached on the sides see!"

Y/N looked closely inside the gators chest. Just like he said, the middle part of the endoskeleton was moved to the top. However, it was still connected on the sides. "I really wonder what it's purpose is.." Y/N mumbled.

"Same here....well, what are we going to do today?" The animatronic gator looked down at Y/N with a smile on his face.

"I'm not really sure Monty...hey, have you ever been outside?" Y/N asked him.

"Besides going on the roof, no I haven't." Montgomery chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck with his long black claws.

"Welp, looks like we're going to do exactly that!" Y/N strolled down the hallway, opening a closet door. Inside was a bunch of random things, boxes, blankets, pillows, till finally Y/N grabbed a small woven basket. Montgomery gave the h/c haired girl a weird look.

"Uh....what exactly is that?" the animatronic asked. "It's a basket, you put stuff inside here-"

"I know what a basket is!" he chuckled. "But why does it look like it was made in the medieval times?" Montgomery said. Y/N rolled her eyes. "Oh shush, how do you even know what a basket is? Or the medieval times?" Y/N raised an eyebrow at the gator.

"You learn a thing or two when you're surrounded by people of all ages." Montgomery shrugged. "If you say so gator boy. C'mon, let's go!" Y/N grabbed the robots hand and lead him to the front door. Once she opened it, Montgomery quickly peaked his head out side, a small gasp escaping his lips. The tall buildings touched the pinks clouds that were formed in the sky. They covered the sun, giving off a rose color in the air.

"Woah...."the large gator whispered.

"Be careful, try to keep your head down okay? I don't want anyone seeing you." Y/N spoke.

Montgomery leaned down, almost to Y/N's height. "Why? It's not like you can get in trouble, I am supposed to be with you and all." the gator mumbled.

"Yes but you're supposed to stay inside." Y/N replied. "What kind of excuse would I give?" she chuckled.

"Eh, you do have a point. Where exactly are we going?" Montgomery looked around, passing by other houses. "You'll like it."

Thirty minutes passed with Y/N leading Montgomery to the unknown destination. However, a few people did see the awfully large animatronic gator. Luckily the mention of him just being a worn costume left the confused people satisfied with the response. They finally arrived. There was a few trees, and tall yellow strands of grass and soft flowers blew in the summer breeze. The city was a bit far out from where they were, not another soul in sight. Montgomery looked around in the meadow of nature in awe.Β 

"This place is beautiful.." the gator whispered.

Y/N let out a small laugh. "It's kinda funny, the last time I visited this place was the evening before I first met you. Never would I have though the next visit I'd bring an animatronic gator with me." she chirped.

Montgomery chuckled. "Why'd you bring me here anyways?" he asked.

"There's not much nature in the city." Y/N sighed. "And when I first found this place, about two years ago, I was mesmerized by it. I've been here for so long and I'd rarely see anyone come here, other than Willow time to time of course. It became my...comfort area I suppose." she spoke, gliding her fingers against the soft grass. "It's the most beautiful when the sunsets, right now in fact." Y/N said, looking up at the pink sky and sitting down.

"What about at night?" the green gator took a seat by the h/c haired girl, placing his glasses on the grass. "You seem to love watching the stars."

Y/N glanced at Montgomery as his red hair blew in the wind. "I always leave a bit after sunset. I'm always alone here...it'd be too dangerous during the night." she sighed. Montgomery glanced at her, and started to scoot closer. "But now I'm here. I won't let anyone..or anything hurt you Y/N, I'll protect you alright? We can go stargazing....together!" a smile curved upon the gators snout as he wrapped his tail around the girl in a protective manner. Y/N looked at Montgomery with her e/c eyes as she gave him a soft smile.

"That sounds nice." she happily sighed. "Hey Monty, I have something to show you." Y/N spoke, sitting up from the yellow grass. "Really? What is it?" Montgomery chuckled, standing up beside her. "C'mon, follow me!"
Y/N took the huge gators hand in hers, pulling him along the flowery field. They went through a few shady trees, and finally came across another clear opening. The grass was green and soft. Instead of blooming flowers, fresh red strawberries were everywhere to be seen.

"Woah." Montgomery opened his large snout. "Are those strawberries?" he looked down at the h/c haired girl. She nodded. "Mm hm. I don't know who grows them though..I wouldn't dare eat one...they're just randomly here." Y/N chuckled.

"C-could I...have one?" Montgomery mumbled. "Of course, here." Y/N gave him the woven basket. "Oh that's why you brought it. Thanks Y/N!" the animatronic gator giggled, grabbing the baskets handle with his long black claws. It was a bit of funny sight to see, but strangely enough, cute as well. Watching the huge animatronic gator stroll around the field of strawberries, a basket in his hand. The gator reminded the e/c eyed girl of a small child in a pumpkin patch, searching for the perfect one to take home.

"Oo! These are shiny!" Montgomery exclaimed from a far, crouching down. His metal claws picked a red berry, and plopped it into his mouth. "They're delicious!" the awfully large gator giggled, his scaly tail wagging behind him, giving Y/N a laugh. He picked a few strawberries, putting them in his mouth or inside the woven basket. Y/N watched the huge 8 foot tall animatronic gator happily pick off the small strawberries in the field. What a strange sight to see...adorable but strange. she giggled at her own thought. As Montgomery continued to look through the field, a small noise caught his attention. The gator quickly glanced where the sound was heard, giving it a confused look.Β  He slowly crawled to the bush, peaking his head through.

"Is there something wrong Monty?" Y/N asked, approaching the gator.

"I think I heard somethi- WOAH!" Montgomery fell on his back as a flock of doves flew out of the green bushes. There were dozens, and they all came in different colors as they filled the strawberry field. A few of them flew around the h/c haired girl. Freighting her at first, till a small giggle escaped her lips. Montgomery's reddish pink orbs quickly looked at Y/N, her laugh making him calm down. He felt the spark in his chest again, watching her laugh with the cute little doves. His body then jolted at the spark, shaking it off, he sat up and walked towards Y/N. The large robot gator scared the doves away, but one stayed, resting on Y/N's shoulder.

"Aw look! One of the little doves stayed. Looks like someone isn't scared of the big bad gator." Y/N chuckled.

"Little dove..." Monty whispered to himself.

"What was that?" Y/N looked up at the animatronic gator.

"Oh uh...I said..like you! Yeah..the dove is just like you. Cute and fearless of the gator." Montgomery chuckled nervously.

"Cute huh?" Y/N smirked, crossing her arms as the dove started to fly away.

"Uh..y-you know what I meant.." the gator rubbed his neck, avoiding the stare of the e/c eyed girl.

Soon enough, the sun was starting to rest as darkness filled the sky. The moon shined brightly, and stars burned bright. Montgomery and Y/N headed back to the other field, with a basket full of freshly picked strawberries.

"Ya know," Montgomery said, as he chewed down on a strawberry. "Some guys say they don't like strawberries because they think they're girly." he gulped down another berry. "But I think they're pretty manly!" the gator gave the h/c haired girl a big smile with his sharp teeth showing.

Y/N giggled. "Just wait till you try the ice cream!"

Montgomery glanced at her and gasped. "There's a ice cream flavored one? Awesome!" he exclaimed. The took a seat in the middle of the flowery field. Putting the basket aside, Y/N laid in the grass, looking up in the star filled sky.

"I never knew how beautiful this place will be at night. You can rarely see the stars in the city." Y/N mumbled. Montgomery looked at the girl, then laid down next to her. The both of them looked up at the sky. Even if they didn't say a single thing, they enjoyed their company.

"Look!" Y/N chirped, "it's the Little Dipper!"

Montgomery followed the point of Y/N's hand, trying to make out the shape in the sky. "I see it now!" he chuckled, then turned his head to
Y/N. She was looking in the sky. The moon and stars reflected on her e/c orbs, her skin glowing in the pale blue light. The gators tail slowly started to wag as he stared at the h/c haired girl. The two of them started to make small talk. Y/N would talk about her past, and funny moments with Gregory and Willow. Montgomery laid on the grass and listened. Her voice comforted the gator, making him smile. Every now and then Montgomery would talk about himself and everything that happens in the PizzaPlex, like how one time on a test run for Roxannes race track, Monty accidentally crashed the kart. Or how at a huge concert when the CEO of the Fazbear company attended, Montgomery claw accidentally snapped a string on his guitar.

"Oh! And there was this one time in our green rooms, the kids were allowed to style our hair. Regret it though...they dyed my hair orange and the staff couldn't get it out a for weeks. Everyone found it so funny, my plushies mohawk is permanently orange!" The gator yelled, plopping his head back down on the grass and groaned.

"Well that makes sense now!" Y/N giggled.
"We should be getting back soon."

"Yeah..could I get a few more strawberries though?" Montgomery said, giving Y/N puppy eyes.

"I guess. Hurry up though! I'm getting hungry." she groaned. Montgomery quickly sat up and grabbed the basket. His large metal feet stomped in the grass as he made his way across the field. Once he was completely out of a view, Y/N let out a small sigh. The cloud in the sky started to cover the moon, leaving everything dark. She sat in the lonely field, patiently waiting for the animatronic gator.

"Hey chicka." a deep voice came from the trees.

Y/N turned her head, squinting her eyes. "U-uh...hello? Who's there?"

Two dark figures emerged from the trees, revealing two tall men. "Look.." one of them
