Eric woke up from a dead sleep, groaning lightly, he knew he messed up fixing the golden girls like that. Cause he used up all his magic he had dreams, usually he used a spell for a dreamless sleep. If he didn't memories flooded his dreams in the form of nightmares. If being an Afton meant one thing it was Tragedies followed you everywhere. Sitting up phantom pains from all of his deaths racked his body. Causing him to let out a soundless scream of torment and collapse back into the bed. Yea he wasn't going to be moving anytime soon, forcing his head to turn and look around. He saw a clock, 5:45 pm, he had slept that long? As the fog cleared from his mind he noticed ... he was no longer in the same room as before. Panicking slight he once more tried and failed to get up, as someone entered the room.

Mike: "Well I believe you're my son from another universe now. You died twice and revived."

Eric: "Only twice? Go me."

His voice was strained and broken, it hurt to speak. Mike wincing at his voice let the room go silent for a bit.

Mike: "You've been basically in a coma for 3 days. The girls Amber included mind you, wanted to take you to a hospital. So I offered to and brought you to my house."

Eric: "ᵂᶦˢʰ ᵐʸ ᵒʳᶦᵍᶦⁿᵃˡ ᵈᵃᵈ ʷᵃˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᶜᵃʳᶦⁿᵍ."

His voice was small and quiet, but in the silent room Mike heard him and frowned. 

Mike: "You two didn't have the best relationship?"

Eric: "Try no relationship he left my mom right after I was born. Told her I reminded him to much of his brother. Then the few times I did meet him... let's just say something always happened. Like him turning into a rotting purple grape, or promising we can talk only to cancel and get scooped by a giant spoon."

Enerd chuckled inside Mike at that one, that was ironically hilarious. At least to the robot spaghetti monster it was.

Mike: "I'm sorry to hear that, anyway you should rest a bit more."

Eric: "Yea... screw that, I've a job to do."

Mike: "Look if it's about money I can..."

Eric: "Look don't take this the wrong way, but I gave up relying on you for help. Even if it was another version of you."

For some reason, those words hit Mike like a truck. It hurt knowing that, even if he was from another world. His son didn't trust him to help, probably the only family member still "alive" and he didn't trust him. It was a tough pill to swallow to say the least.

Mike: "I see, I'm honestly not sure how to feel about that. But if you're sure at least let me give you a ride to work."

Eric: "Wouldn't it be suspicious if I rode in with the big boss himself like you were my dad dropping me off at school?"

Mike: "I am you dad though..."

Eric: "I.... fine I'll spend one more night resting, just so I can pretend to not be an Afton for a bit longer."

Mike: "That... I understand."

The next night Eric walked to and entered the Honey Pot a few mins after closing and before his shift. And was instantly tackled and hugged by Goldie, Springy, Bonnie, and Amber. Leaving him a stammering, blushing mess, even after they let go.

Goldie: "We seriously thought you died!~ Don't scare us like that!"

Springy: "How are we going to repay you for fixing us if you die!?"

Bonnie: "No dying until never! No Dying at all~!"

Eric: "Hello Irony, good to see you again."

Amber: "You still owe me a date for cheating in our bet, don't scare us like that again!"

Eric: "I get it, I g... Wait! I didn't cheat, you. . . I... Ugh! Fine, but I'm being cheap about it, I don't have any money so we can have a date here."

Amber started to say something but stopped and a cheeky smile grew on her face. 

Amber: "Okay we can have a date here if the "Golden Beauties" join us."

Eric: "I'm never going to live that down am I?"

The girls giggled a bit most of them shaking their head, except Bonnie who was to busy clinging to Eric to do so. With a sigh he clocked in and headed into to very empty male Locker room to get changed. As Eric changed Amber clocked out and went home for the day. Once he was changed into his uniform Eric slowly made his way to the Parts and services. 

Eric: "Okay I'm going to be checking the rest of you and fixing what I need to tonight. So just get yourselves ready and get on your respective tables."

Freddy: "Mmm, I love it when they take charge."

Eric blushed brightly at that telling her to please not tease him while he's not feeling well. Which got a frown from the girls. Each one stripping naked and hopping onto their tables and powering off without another word. Eric gulped lightly, the only ones not powered down were Kate, Goldie, and Springy. Who watched as Eric walked over to the first girl and began to work. First he had to remove the fake flesh to get to the robotic parts underneath. Next he took the time to very thoroughly go over ever component and part fixing up anything they needed repaired. Replacing hydraulic lines, springs, and anything else he needed to. Before final reapplying and fixing the fake skin. After he did the same thing to the next girl in the line up, and repeated until he was done. His shift started at 8 and it was now midnight. And he still had six hours to go until it was time to leave. Reactivating the girls Eric drudged to his office and sat down. Sighing lightly he started checking the cameras. And noticed a pair of men trying to break in, just great. Grabbing the taser and baton he angrily walked around and confronted the two. The situation escalated quickly when one of them pulled a gun, Eric quickly tasing them. Before the other could pick the gun up Eric rushed in with the baton and knocked the man down. Kicking the gun away he ordered them to stay still, and 10 minutes later the two were being taken away by the police. 

Sighing and nearly collapsing into his chair Eric's eye lids flattered shut for a moment. When he came to, it was already time to leave, though realistically he literally had no where to go. So instead he changed, and crashed in Goldie and Springy's room seeing as they were no longer preforming. He could sleep there and not be disturbed, though the two Animetronics were able to get the reason for why he was staying in their room. And it made them extremely saddened to hear Eric was homeless. Which they ended up telling Amber about when she got their. Amber upon hearing that planned to ask Eric if he wanted to move in with her. Something the golden girls were slightly jealous of, even if they knew he couldn't live at the Honey Pot. With a small fire of determination in her soul Amber waited for Eric to wake up so she could ask. Hoping that he would say yes.
