Sinakumi/Sailor: "...AH-!"

*CRASH*

Sinakumi/Sailor: "....."

Sailor: "Why do I feel like this had already happened before?"

Sinakumi: "Because it probably already did?"

Sinakumi and Sailor were plopped down in who-knows-where, in some big park, in the middle of what they think is Utah, again. But exact location, they have no idea where they are or where the pizzeria is. They look up and see that the sun was starting to set. It was almost night time.

Sinakumi: "If memory serves me right, this is years after the first game, right?"

Sailor: "They rest is fuzzy, but yeah."

???: "Yes, this is a whole different year, but we all seem to not age a bit."

Sinakumi and Sailor whip around to face a dear friend of theirs they haven't seen in awhile.

Sinakumi/Sailor: "Vincent! Aurum...?!"

To their surprise, Aurum was there too. But this time he was walking...sort of. He was using crutches.

Aurum: "My bones are starting to boost back, so Vincent and the guys used to push me to drink so much milk."

He gives a small chuckle. Sinakumi laughs with him. Sailor eyes Vincent suspiciously, he just shakes his head with a sad smile on his face in responce. He knew she was going to talk about this later.

*****

Sinakumi and Aurum were chatting away on their lives and how excited (Sinakumi) to see the guys and (Aurum) how shocked the guys are going to be, since they don't know their coming, with the moon, now, hanging above their heads.

Sinakumi: "So, where are they?"

Aurum: "Oh, there-"

Vincent: "Author had gotten you loose, hasn't she."

Sinakumi: "What do you mean?"

Aurum: "Oh...actually, maybe you shouldn't see them..."

Sailor felt like this was coming.

Sailor: "Okay, out with it. Where the heck are they."

Vincent and Aurum wouldn't say anything until they were back at the hotel. Oh, and by the way, the hotel they were at seemed to still remember them. Just the fact that they were pretty much older than Sinakumi and Sailor was a bit weird.

Clerk: "Ah...Ms. Pisces...and Ms. Author."

The clerk from last time looked like her age bumped up a decade. In fact, the bags under her eyes indicated that work must be more busier than usual.

Sinakumi: "Oh, my gosh, are you okay?"

Clerk: "Oh, don't you worry about me. Business has been doing good and the money is helping me and my family."

Sinakumi: "You have kids? When was that?"

Clerk: "Just about 3 years after you two moved back to Pennsylvania, so I've heard. What brings you back here?"

Sinakumi and Sailor had a small moment of shock. 'Just about 3 years you two moved...'?! They looked back at Vincent and Aurum to see if she was correct. They gave them a look that said 'Yeah, you were gone for a flipping long time. Quit acting like you didn't know.'. After the girls stared at them, their eyes screaming 'We weren't gone for that huge amount of time!!!', the guys got a little worried.

Sinakumi: "Erm...we...we were thinking of going back to the Fazbear business...since we, uh, sort of need it...I guess."

Clerk: "You mean the Freddy Fazbear pizzeria? There was a new one that opened up to replace the crumbling old one. It has new robots and such and the place is so much more polished up."

Sailor: "New...robots? As in...new animatronics?"

Sinakumi: "What happened to the...other ones?"

Sinakumi asked cautiously, glancing at Vincent and Aurum from the corner of her eye. Vincent didn't look to happy, and Aurum was fidgeting and staring the other direction. Sailor noticed too.

Clerk: "Oh, I don't know about them. I was planning to take my children over to see the grand re-opening! So you two are going to help out with the festivities?"

Sinakumi and Sailor didn't say a word. They decided to play it cool and head up to their room without worrying the nice clerk lady. When they got back up (the room didn't change, like they haven't been that long gone/no one else had this room), they chewed out Vincent and Aurum, demanding explanation.

Aurum: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry...Vincent said not to say anything!"

Sailor: "Vincent!"

Vincent: "I was hoping-"

Sinakumi: "Sailor, calm down! Actually, put THAT down! This might be a game BUT THEY CAN STILL FEEL DAMAGE, STOP!!!"

Sinakumi's voice rises as she tries to stop her friend from throwing at another friend, a potted plant. She was able to get her to calm down and everyone sitting down in some chair/part of the couch in the living room.

Sinakumi: "Now...Vincent, Aurum...explain. What happened to the guys, and where are they?"

Vincent: "...You'll figure that out on your shift..."

Sailor: "...Completely forgot about those."

Sailor didn't like the fact that they weren't honest about what was going on.

Sinakumi: "W-well...we'll figure it out. We always seem to."

Sailor: "Whatever happens."

Sinakumi: "Whatever happens. Anyway..."

Sinakumi fell silent. She and Sailor had been learning about the games through the franchise, but never gotten around to playing them. Their colleagues always asked why they didn't, and they answered the same every time. 'I don't want to ruin what I already have known'. No one really knew what that meant, but after Sinakumi said that to the first person to ask, and Sailor follower her example, everyone officially thought that they went nuts. So they didn't know what happened, exactly, in the game, currently. Which Sinakumi thought was sad, because then she might've known what happened to the guys.

Sinakumi: "Did...something bad happened to them? The clerk said that there was new animatronics."

Sailor: "We also had some recap of some child killing that had to do with William Afton that you guys are aware of."

Sinakumi: "S-Sailor!"

Aurum/Vincent: "...?!"

Aurum: "How...how...how did...?"

Sailor: "It answers the question why we're still young. How many years has it been since we've been in the game?"

Aurum: "Um...around 5 years..."

Sinakumi: "5?!"

Sailor: "We've been out of the game for 1 year in real time."

Sinakumi: "...But we came out as if we played the game with real time in real life. That...doesn't all make sense."

Sailor: "Yeah...like...if we were in the game for 6 days...and the ratio for this game's time and ours is 5 years to 1...so that would be...1825 days to 365 days...no, then you would have a leap year...when was the last leap year?"

Sinakumi: "Um...we aren't actually gonna solve that are we?"

Sailor: "Just answer the question."

Sinakumi: "Um...last year...Monday, February 29th, 2016?"

Aurum: "2016?"

Sailor: "Okay, so that means it would be just 1824 days to 365."

Sinakumi: "Though, wouldn't you knock down a day no matter what?"

Sailor: "No, 1823 days, you still gotta knock down the other one. And Sinakumi, we were gone for 5 years, not 3."

Sinakumi: "And why are you trying to figure this out?"

Sailor: "Because it proves a point."

Sinakumi: "Sailor! What kind of point even is this? Wait...when have you EVER used math to prove a point?"

Sailor: "One of them was when I was trying to impersonate MatPat from Game Theory at the talent show."

Sinakumi: "You said that was 5 years-...wait a second."

Vincent: "Alright, alright. Sorry to tell you Sailor, but Author does have a point about this. It doesn't really need to be solved at the moment."

Sailor: "...Fine."

Vincent: "How about all of you get a small nap in. I'll wake you guys up when your shift's about to start."

Sailor: "Aren't you gonna sleep?"

Vincent: "I don't sleep."

Sailor: "What?"

Vincent: "Not when we can't keep your peace of mind, Pisces."

Sailor: "What the heck is that supposed to mean?"

Vincent: "I'd appreciate it if you actually get some sleep in this game. You didn't sleep at all in the first."

Vincent guides Sailor and Sinakumi back into their dearly missed old rooms. Sinakumi noticed that the back hall that had the door that lead to the portal out of the game wasn't there anymore. Now she knew that they needed another way to leave. Well, Sinakumi brought up. This time I hope we don't disappear in front of the guys again. That was a bit too much.

*****

Sinakumi: "Well, at least you don't have to worry about car insurance in the game, Sailor."

Sailor: "For a Ferrari? Heck, this is unreal."

Sinakumi: "Couldn't say it better myself. Unreal, this is."

Vincent: "Everything, actually."

Sailor: "Yeah, everything's not real. But everything still matters."

Sinakumi: "Point made. Hey, is that-?!"

Sailor and Sinakumi finally park into the lot of the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Sinakumi: "Well...?"

Vincent: "Careful, Aurum."

Aurum: "I got it!"

Sailor: "This is..."

Sinakumi: "You guys coming?"

Aurum: "I can't go back in there at night. Sorry."

Vincent: "You two...go meet the guys."

*****

*beep*

Sinakumi: "I can't stand listening to that person. I don't know much about the Phone Guy-"

Sailor: "You watch too much Game Theory."

Sinakumi: "But he proves a point! He actually-"

Sailor: "If he can figure out this alternate version of the game that we're in right now, then I will subscribe to his channel."

Sinakumi: "You mean, you haven't yet?"

Sailor: "Yet."

Sinakumi: "Wait till we hit FNAF 4."

Sailor: "Sister Location."

Sinakumi: "You and me both."

Sinakumi and Sailor are now inside their new office. They saw the office design from earlier. Sinakumi still didn't like the fact that there was no doors. She picks up the tablet. Low and behold, there were the new animatronics on the stage, the first camera that loaded up when she turned on the tablet.

Sinakumi: "So these are the new bots."

She noticed their plastic toy-like form, like some oversized action figures created for some excited kid's birthday party. They're not in model mode. Sinakumi also noted. Once they're moving, they will be. Hey, is that Chica's cupcake? It'll be really awkward if that Chica is a guy...sure the other one was, but you could find a guy there. A guy here...is a bit more difficult.

Sailor: "'If these animatronics gotta model mode, then I'm really curious to see what Toy Chica's gonna look like', is what you're thinking."

Sinakumi: "...You said that as if you're part of my mind."

Sailor: "Weird way to put it, but I know you well enough to make out sentences, whether you're talking or not."

The night to the two has officially begun. Sounds echoed creepily throughout the pizzeria. Something was happening. Sinakumi felt like the music in the background meant something. She flipped through the rest of the cameras.

Sinakumi: "Oh! What the hades is THAT?!"

She points to the pile of wires of, what she can make out of, animatronic parts. They slowly depict out a foxlike head, decorative paws...and some other random head in the pile. It reminded her of the time when she was in the Kitsune spring-lock suit in the first game.

Sailor: "Oh...wow. That...that must be..."

Sinakumi/Sailor: "...Mangle..."

They didn't even bother to say jinx.

Sinakumi: "Fitting..."

Sailor: "Yeah...wait! Did you see the Balloon Boy?"

Sinakumi: "Yeah, doesn't look like much of a threat..."

Sailor: "Besides putting me out of order?"

Sinakumi: "He can deck the flashlight?"

Sailor: "'I don't really care if it's Freddy! I just wanna get my hands on his sweet, succulent, double-A BATTERIES.'"

Sailor responded in a retorting way, mimicking Balloon Boy's voice from some YouTube video they saw a long time ago. Then, with a mock expression of horror on her face, Sailor pulls the flashlight toward her chest, backing away slowly. She stops playing around and Sinakumi chuckles when she returned to the camera. Her chuckles subsided when she saw that there was another camera...one with ragged and broken animatronics.

Sinakumi: "Sailor?"

Sailor: "Hahah...what?"

Sinakumi: "I...think I found the guys..."

She slowly turned the screen around to show the rusted robots. The screen flickered for a moment...then when it came back on, the animatronics where in that all-too-familiar model mode. They looked like Aurum, when Sinakumi first found him. Suddenly there was a small flashing symbol at the bottom of the tablet. Like those caution signs. It was flashing also near Cam 11. She flicks to the camera and saw a timer like circle that was nearly out. Panicking, something was telling her that if it were to run out something would kill them, specific, her hands flew around the screen looking for something to activate. She found a button to press that made a winding sound.

Sailor: "What the heck was that...?"

Sinakumi: "There...was...a winding thing. Dunno what it was, but we're safe. For now."

Sailor: "What were you saving us from?"

Sinakumi: "...Dunno. Something to do with a music box."

Sailor: "How do you know it's a music box?"

Sinakumi: "Oh, remember that music box you had when I first came over to your house?"

Sailor: "...The one next to the grandfather clock?"

Sinakumi: "Yeah, it was playing the exact same...song..."

Sailor: "Hey! It's running out again!"

Sinakumi: "Got it, got it, GOT IT...!"

*ding-dong, ding-dong...ding-dong, ding-dong*

Sinakumi/Sailor: "....."

Sinakumi and Sailor crumble to the floor with relief. Sure, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal to fuss over, but it felt like a huge accomplishment just to get it done and over with. Sinakumi raises her hand to give a high-5, but Sailor misses it like her hand passed through hers.

Sinakumi: "You didn't even move around much, how did you miss me? Am I a ghost, or something?"

Sailor: "You told me not to move around. I'm just the flashlight person now."

Sinakumi: "...I didn't say anything about moving, but you have a point."

Sinakumi/Sailor: "...."

Sailor: "Is Vincent still gonna be at the house?"

Sinakumi: "I'm pretty sure."

Sailor: "I need to ask him a butt-load of questions."
