"Who are you?"

"I'm [Y/N]."

"Wait for me!"

"Way to go, superstars!"

Gregory's POV

I continue to watch as Freddy walks down the stairs of the utility tunnels. I can sense the girl looking at me but I ignore it, brushing it off even if it was a little weird. After seeing a black figure run down the wall, I feel a bit uneasy. Of course I shake it off, I don't do much emotions like that... I look over at the [Hair color] girl. She looks back at me and smiles. I stare at her for a few seconds. "Gregory?" She asks. I knit my eyebrows in a confused manner. "Yeah?" I reply. "Why are you looking at me?" She raises an eyebrow.

I look at her for a few more seconds, then respond awkwardly looking at her, then turning my head away. "Sorry, uhm. I mean, you were looking at me soo..?" She giggles softly. "I guess I was." She smiles and I form a small smile back. It feels nice finally talk to another human like me. Since... Well.. Yeah. Silence became between the two of us and then out of the blue, the security woman's voice. "Hello? Little boy? Girl? If you guys are down here, say something!" She sounds mad.. Me and [Y/N] look at each other. "She's down here we have to go back!" I say, panic leaking into my tone. "Do not worry, Children. Even if we are spotted, you are safe with me. She would never suspect us traveling together. Though, we should still do our best to avoid her. If I am sent back to my room, We will not make it in time." Freddy calms us.

I huff in response to his statement and look to the side again. We continue to walk for not even 15 seconds before he stops. "..I feel you are broken.." The robot says suddenly.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine." I answer, wiping some dirt from my leg. Probably from the vent. Damn... How dirty is that vent? [Y/N] looks at me with a... Worried expression? "No. I feel something is wrong. I am taking you to the first aid station." Freddy shakes his head. I whip my head back towards the screen in front of me. "There's no time, I'm fine!" I exclaim, though he ignores me. "Are you okay?" I look at [Y/N] at her question. "Yes, I'm okay." I form a weak smile due to me still being somewhat angry at Freddy for wasting our time.

We jump out of Freddy's stomach hatch. I hear footsteps so I grabbed [Y/N] and went into the first aid station. Yeah, it was Vanessa. "Gr-Gregory..." I turn my head to [Y/N] and realize I'm holding her close to me. My face heats up and I back away a couple steps, there not being enough room for more. "Uhm.." I whisper and look away. "I- sorry-" I mutter quietly and look back at her in the corner of my eye. She giggles quietly and I blush with a sheepish and small grin. I tune in to what Vanessa and Freddy are saying. "-arts and service have you on reduced power. They say it's a safety precaution. Just one more thing to deal with.." Vanessa sighs. "Look. We're like 15 minutes from closing and some kids are sneaking backstage. If you see ANYTHING, Notify me immediately. Now, go back to your room." She finishes, then turns to walk away.

I open the First-aid curtains as soon as her footsteps are out of earshot and walk outside of it. "I told you she was after me." I shrug at him. He looks at me. "I said nothing. I will keep you safe. Now, let us go." Freddy opens his chest cavity. I turn around to see [Y/N], an idea popping into my head suddenly. I blush, but decide to follow it, even though she'll probably think I'm a weirdo. She wouldn't be too far off if she did. I bow slightly and gesture both hands at Freddy's open chest and say, "Ladies first." I look at her she had this look that was like "Seriously?"  But she didn't say anything except kinda chuckle as she climbs in, me following behind.

After a few seconds of walking through the tunnels I speak up to cut the silence with some curiosity. "Where are we?"
 "We are now under the Pizzaplex."
"So, does that mean we can go anywhere we want?" Y/N asks, tilting her head.
 "That is correct! Fazerblast, Monty golf, Roxy raceway, it is all accessible to S.T.A.F.F with high enough clearance, of course.. Guests are.. Never aloud down here but.... Yours is a.. special, situation."

After going up some stairs Freddy's screen starts flashing 'LOW BATTERY'. He lets us out of his hatch with a sad expression. Y/N looks at Freddy confusingly.
"I am terribly sorry. The recharge cycle had not yet completed when I found you. You must go on without me. I will guide you on your Fazwatch in case you get into any trouble." He stomped into the station with a lightning bolt on the front and stared at us through the glass.

"I don't know if we can do this alone!" I whine at him then feel someone grab my hand.

I turn my head to see Y/N smiling her cheeks a rosey pink. It makes her look kind of cute.. I shake my head, getting the thought out. You just met her, idiot. I think to myself, [Y/N]'s voice snapping me out of my thoughts.
"We can do it." She says with confidence and determination. I smile at her, feeling a bit more warmed up. "Yeah. You're right." I nod and we walk towards red double doors and open them. The hall was dimly lit, which made an uneasy feeling form in me. I ignore it and continue walking. We stop and look through a door to see Chica. She's bent over and eating trash... Interesting choice of diet, but I guess I can't judge...?

"It's Chica." I whisper, though it being obvious.
 "Maybe we can distract her?" [Y/N] suggests, looking around. She thinks for a moment, then points to the paint cans. I think for a second before getting what she's thinking, agreeing with a small and simple nod. "I'll knock them over. You run when Chica hears and IF she hears the cans, okay?" I ask her and she nods.

We let go of each others hands. She crouches at the door and I walk to the cans of paint. I take a look at Y/N and kick the buckets over. Chica makes a chicken noise, and we run into the bathroom she was in. I crouch and we crawl behind the chicken as she says "Employees only." We go into a closet filled with trash and rubbish.

I looked around as we continued to walk down the few halls as we tried to make our way through the utility tunnels. We reach a red colored hall with a fence basically saying 'No Monty', a red circle and line across a Monty shaped image. As we continue down the hall, we hear heavy footsteps coming from behind us. We both whip our heads around, now facing who the footsteps belong to. Monty ran up and basically smacked the fence gates which smacked the walls, making a loud noise. "There you are!"  He huffs intimidatingly three times before coming our way. I whip my head around and grab [Y/N]'s wrist and start running with her.

We make it to another hall the upper part being white and the bottom a light purple or pink. Roxy was behind the fence, her face unable to be seen. "Are you lost?" She asks. I continue looking forward. [Y/N] slows down. I think I'm going too fast for her, but I proceed to run through the doors. A few boxes fall over and I look behind at Chica as she snitches. Little-  I start in my head, my thought cut off. "Lost children over here!" I furrow my eyebrows in an angered way. We start running up a few flights of stairs panting uncontrollably as we listen to the pattering of our feet and the robotic animals a flight under us.

We make it to the top and run to a security office. I let go of [Y/N] and fall on my knees panting for air, my heart pounding in my chest. I look up at [Y/N]. "Are....You...Ok...ay?" I ask between breathes. "Yeah." She rubs her wrist. "I'm... Fine." she says, her face red from running, also panting. She smiles at me. I couldn't help but smile back, blood rushing to my cheeks. My breathing calms. "Okay." I heave a breath.
 "Good job, Y/N and Gregory. You've found a security office. You should be quite safe here, the doors were designed to keep highly trained security staff safe in the event of an emergency. As long as the doors stayed closed--- Which they will!-- As long as there is ample power.."

I glance at the door power and immediately start to panic. "Freddy!.. The power's only at 15% and their pounding on the door! How are we going to get out?!" I stand up.
"Do not panic. You should see a button on the desk interface. I am making it accessible to you now.." After a few seconds of listening to the aggressive alligator pound on the office door, probably wanting to eat us alive, Freddy finally says, "There. You can now activate security protocols. Look at your Fazwatch." I look at my left wrist. [Y/N] looking over my shoulder.

I glance at her in the corner of my eye, then look back at the cameras.
"Those boxes on your mini map are cameras near by." Freddy explains. "Click on them to change what one you're looking at. When the camera detects any sort of motion the box will turn red. Find the safest path to the entrance." Freddy then goes silent with the explanation. I nod in response to Freddy and [Y/N] moves to the door of the office. "Lets go, then." She grabs my hand to drag me behind her.

We turned and went down a short hall to a hall that's shaped kind of like a square. It has two arrows facing the opposite direction as the other. Chica starts to spit out security protocols. Me and Y/N crouch to the end of the right hall and look over to see Chica eat garbage. That is... Disgusting, but her diet I guess...? Once she moved the other way we snuck to the red doors and opened them going down another short hall to more red doors and through those, the Pizzaplex's main entrance.
