Amethist yawned, stretching like a cat. She sat up, feeling that warm fuzziness again. As she looked around the room, she noticed she was in a small office. She confusingly got up, stopping in front of a mirror. She stared down at the bright green sweater she was wearing. Amethist's heart stopped when she stared in shock. "Is this- Baldi's sweater?!" she screamed internally. She glanced around the room. She was in some sort of office- most likely Baldi's, Amethist walked around the room, poking around in drawers and stuff. She walked over to the office desk, a pencil holder full of rulers sat on the desk. "Who needs this many rulers?" She thought as she rattled the container, then set it down. Amethist headed around the desk, stopping in front of it. She then noticed a picture frame, It had a picture of a little girl, with long black hair, a strip of gold in her bangs. Beside her was a smiling man... Baldi. They both held each other close. "He looked so happy," She thought, smiling. On the opposite side of the desk sat another picture frame. In the picture was a young woman, she had bright pink hair, red highlights going down her bangs. Smiled at the camera, her cheeks a bright red as she waved at the camera. Amethist noticed a little tape peeking out from behind the frame, she pulled it out. Amethist looked down at the name. 'Samantha and Tiffany ", she bit her lip thoughtfully looking around the room. Her eyes landed on a Tv in the corner, "I wonder," She thought as she slid the tape into the VCR, the sound of static was heard before the video began to play.

*Video Footage*
The pink haired girl appeared on the screen. She held a baby in her hand as she smiled at the camera, "Say hi to the camera, Sam!" Baldi chuckled, slightly shoving the camera in her face.
"Baldi! Stop that! I told you~ I don't wanna be recorded!" Sam laughed, covering her face.
"Memories! Embrace them!!!" Baldi shouted. Facing the camera away and towards him. He had a smile on his face as he spoke, he had a completely different attitude than the way Amethist knew him. Instead of the gloomy, grumpy teacher, smiled a happy,- slightly adorable... father. Amethist smiled as the women stood up, cradling the baby in her arms, the infant babbling- but then Amethist frowned as a question came up in her thoughts,

*Off-screen*
"What... What happened to them?" She asked aloud.

"Car crash," A voice said in back of her. Amethist turned alarmed, to see Baldi standing there. "Tiffany wasn't injured because I was holding her- but... Sam- she was hurt severely. The crash happened an hour after Tiffany was born. Sam- Sam died right in my arms," Baldi said quietly, "I... I failed to protect her," He said, sitting at his desk, gazing into Amethist's silver eyes.
"Oh- Baldi~ I'm so- I'm so so sorry," Amethist said, at the tip of crying.

"I... refused to fall for anyone after I lost her, I was broken for a long time- I didn't go to work for months, I didn't talk to my kids, I never even looked at my students or spoke to them either, I hardly ate anything... I... I even cried almost every night- At one point... I tried to end it all-" Baldi whispered, his voice cracking as if he was about to- cry. He looked away, attempting not to make eye contact with Amethist. "I... I tried to end... my life a couple of days ago... I... I know I'm not alone- I have my girls, Zoey... Tiffany... My students... B-but... I want Sam back- I wish I could have... I wish I knew what was about to happen the second Sam stormed out of the restaurant- the second she walked across the street! I-I tried to tell her to listen... she... she was mad at me, Sam refused to- I-I... It's my fault she's gone!' he mumbled his voice lost in his sobs, As he broke down.

As he fell apart, he felt Amethist wrap her arms around him. "There there, it's ok- Amie here for you," she whispered wiping his tear with her sleeve,"
"Hehe~! That's not what those are for~" Baldi giggled childishly, pulling away.
Amethist and Baldi turned towards the Tv screen again, forgetting about the tape until they heard Sam shout angerly on screen. "I DON'T CARE! You shouldn't have done what you did! I'm sorry but, maybe we shouldn't see each other anymore, I'M LEAVING- GOODBYE!" She shouted as the camera got put down. Samantha walking away.

*Video Footage*
Baldi walked into view, the child in his arms, "Samantha! Please, come back!" he called as Sam marched out of the restaurant they were in. "Sam!" He called running after her. He left the camera behind, but it still faced the scene. The door closed as Baldi walked out after Sam. The camera didn't catch what happened, but you could hear silence- then the sound of a car screeching, then Baldi's voice. "SAM!" He shouted.

*Off-screen*
Baldi looked away from the Tv, reaching for the remote to the TV, then turning it off. He stood up, his body shaking- "I don't want that moment to be played again" he said as Amethist tilted her head, still looking at the screen.

"Oh. Ok then, I understand,"

"Do you?" Baldi asked looking into Amethist's sparkling eyes.

"Yes! Of course! You just need another piece. A significant other. It's ok, I lost my father when I was 2 months old- and I'm doing fine," Amethist smiled, her eye twitching.

Baldi looked at her wide-eyed, then laughed, "That can't be true" He giggled. Amethist looked at him, blushing at how he laughed- she bit her lip as they met eyes. His smile turned into a frown as he looked down shyly, "I've never... I've never laughed like that in a long time," he whispered looking back up at Amethist, "No one was actually ever able to make me laugh at all-Sam was the only able to- I'm not really the one to even smile- but... when I met Sam, I felt different... Like I... like I was a completely different person," Baldi smiled, blushing. "You- the way you acted back in the classroom- your personality- you in general- Your... your amazing in every way,"

Amethist blushed wide-eyed. "I... Your... uhm. You're really strange at times- but, I feel the same way- Your attitude is... well, all over the place- but I like it- mysterious~" Amethist cooed nudging him in the shoulder.

Baldi and Amethist looked at each other, both smiling, They blushed as they moved closer to each other, Baldi's becoming a light shade of pink as he spoke, "I... I know I shouldn't be, but I think I'm-"

"MR. BALDI!" A monotoned voice boomed in the hall.

Baldi jumped back terrified, "The principal! Come on! Get behind the table, don't make a single sound!" he whispered motioning Amethist towards the desk.

Amethist did as told, running up to the desk sliding beneath it. She clasped against it as Baldi motioned for silence. He dragged the chair away from the desk, sitting on it- Amethist held back a giggle as he clumsily stumbles out of the chair. Baldi jumped into the chair as soon as the office door opened. Amethist heard heavy footsteps walk over to the desk, making her peek out at the person. A tall man stood in front of the desk, his hands in fists, "Charlie Miles! I heard from gotta sweep that you showed mercy for one of the students!' He boomed, making Baldi jump.

"M-Mr. Harrison, I-I'm so sorry, I just-"

"Already don't care- I want you to hit the children more! More severe punishments, you know exactly what I mean! You've been obeying my instructions ever since you were first hired at this here school,"

"But, M- Mr. Harrison, I...their just kids, they don't know any better- they're not gonna learn through abu-"

"BALDI!" The principal shouted. Making Baldi flinch, "Do you love Tiffany?" he asked, picking up the frame, then looking down at it.

"Y-Yes, Sir," He replied, swallowing hard as his throat closed up.

"Then if you talk back to me again, you can hang out with her every day- at HOME," Baldi winced, then looked down. "Did. I. Make myself. CLEAR?"

Baldi suddenly looked up at the principal, "Y-yes... of... of course. It will never happen again, forgive me,"

"Good." He grinned, dropping the frame, it shattering on the white tile floor. Baldi gasped, looking up at the principal, furrowing his eyebrows. "What? You gonna do something?"
Baldi sighed, looking down, "No."

"That's right, you don't have the guts... so do as I say you, worthless wimp- look I would love to stay here and make you feel bad, but I have an errand to do, so I'll see you when I see you- OH! and before I forget, you have Saturday school to work,"

"What?! But-"

"No,"

"But-!" Mr. Harrison glared at Baldi, making him sit back in defeat, "O... Ok..."

"This isn't about that little brat, is it? What's her name... Zoey?"

"Of course it is! She's my little girl- I haven't been able to give her attention since you extended my schedule!"Baldi yelled suddenly, his eye twitching. Then covered his mouth nervously.

"What did I just say?"

"I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to-"

"I'm kidding- I like it when you snap at me- but be careful, I have more power over you then you know," Mr. Harrison chuckled as Baldi made a sheepish look, twiddling his fingers embarrassed.
As the principal looked into his eyes, then down at his desk- then back into Baldi's eyes, "I know one of your students is under your desk,"

"Ughhhh! How???!!!" Baldi exclaimed, face palming.

"I know you don't wear strawberry perfume," Mr. Harrison said pushing Baldi's chair back as he peeked under the desk... To see Amethist covering her face, her knees upto her chest. She looked up at the principal, her silver iris shrunk as a wave of embarrassment hit her.

"H-hello~" She cooed nervously.

"Get out from under there," The principal told her, backing away from the desk as she prepared for a lecture. She did as told, crawling out than standing.

"Look, I-I-I Can explain!" Amethist said her voice cracking from her embarrassment.

"Can you? Or are you just saying that?"

"I-I... I can! *Breathes in*" Amethist paused for a minute- then ran for the window. She 'tried' to jump through the window, her hind getting stuck as she tried to crawl out. "AH! FUCK! I was expecting something else to happen,"

"What the hell, Ms. Lockheart?" Mr. Harrison asked as Baldi and he stared at Amethist confused.

" I... I can't explain," She whispered, "I'm sorry, I thought I would be able to get out..." She mumbled her face a bright red as she stepped back onto the floor in the room.

"Ms. Lockheart," Baldi whispered, covering his face.

"You should go home, Lockheart," Mr. Harrison told Amethist as she looked down, nervously.

"Ye... Sorry... Bye?"

"Leave."

"Ok..."

•••♪♥♪•••

Amethist walked home, her face still a bright red, "Why did you do that? Why was that necessary? Why did I have to get stuck in the window?! That was so humiliating!" she thought, her blush getting deeper.

As she walked home, she heard a familiar voice call, "Ms. Lckheart! Wait!" She turned around to see Baldi running after her, he held something in his arms. Something pink. Her sweater. He stopped in front of her, catching his breath, "Geez! You walk fast! Fuuuuuuuck!" He sighed, exhaustedly. "Here, this- is yours," Baldi said handing Amethist her sweater.

As he stood there, panting for air- it hit her, "OH! Thank you for reminding me, THIS is YOURS," She said, pulling off his sweater, handing it to him.

He blushed, taking it. He held it in his arms, watching Amethist slide her pink sweater on, looking down at it, "It's so funny- your sweater is SO much warmer, I don't know- maybe it's me, Hahaha!" Amethist giggled.

"Eh... Its fabric is naturally warm, but also because I was wearing it before I decided to put it on you- I-"

"Wait- when DID you put it on me? I... How come I didn't notice?"

"You were asleep. I carried you to my office after I put it on you, you were sleeping in the broom closet- you were shaking... so I got the idea of putting my sweater on you... it stopped the trembling, so- yea,"

"Well, aren't you a sweet hear- WAIT! YOU! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO!" Amethist exclaimed, embarrassed all of a sudden.

Baldi jumped back as soon as she shouted all of a sudden, "What??? What is it???"

"YOU! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT WAS CARRYING ME! I-I- OH MY GOD!" Amethist screamed, covering her blushing face.

"What is it! I don't get it!" Baldi exclaimed frantically.

"I... I... I... Know what? Nevermind- I'm sure it's not important..." Amethist, blushed nervously as she looked at Baldi, who was super confused. She then thought about that night... the night she was in the broom closet... her blush getting deeper by the second...

~~~♥~~~

Amethist was still asleep purring away. She was curled up on the floor still- by then her warmth had completely disappeared, she was a trembling mess. The sound of students leaving the school was heard- then silence. Something like 30 minutes had past and she hadn't woken up. As she was asleep she heard a familiar voice say: "Gotta sweep, the principal, and students have officially left the building- you can start your nightly swe-" The voice paused as soon as the door opened, shining light into the closet, "Ms..Lockheart?"

Amethist wasn't sure who it was, but she couldn't wake. When she tried to speak all that came out were groans. The person chuckled then walked over. As Amethist layed there, she felt something warm and fuzzy wrap around her- bringing a smile to her face. The person picked her up bridal style, carrying her out of the cold dark closet. As he made his way down the hall, Amethist in arms- she couldn't help but press her face into his neck. You can hear the embarrassment in his voice. "M-Ms. Lockheart..."

"I didn't know who he was- but his skin was really warm... I felt safe in his arms... I didn't ever want him to let me go..."

~~~♥~~~"That... that was you..." Amethist thought flustered.

Baldi tilted his head, his little hair tipping a bit. "I-I still don't-"

"MR. BALDI! *Deep breath* Look, do you remember what happened the day you found me in the closet?" She asked, motioning 'well?' with her hands.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......" Baldi stood there, thinking as hard as he can- then it hit him... she stuffed her face in his neck that night... Immediately, his face turned bright red.

"That.... that actually.... Happened.... I... I had completely forgot...."
