The Harmony of the Cosmos: How Music and Space Exploration Intertwine
Introduction
The vast expanse of space has always captivated human imagination, inspiring not only scientific exploration but also artistic expression. Music, in particular, has played a unique role in capturing the spirit of space exploration, reflecting cultural and scientific developments, and shaping our understanding of the universe. This article explores the deep connection between music and space, highlighting how they complement each other in various ways.
Music Inspired by Space
Throughout history, composers and musicians have drawn inspiration from the cosmos. From classical compositions to modern pop songs, space-themed music has evoked a sense of wonder and curiosity. For instance, Vangelisâ album âAlbedo 0.39â is entirely devoted to space, while his work âMythodea: Music for NASAâs Mars Odyssey Missionâ reflects his interest in space exploration. Similarly, songs like âSpace Oddityâ by David Bowie and âRocket Manâ by Elton John have become iconic anthems of space exploration, capturing the excitement and mystery of venturing into the unknown.
Music in Space
Music has also found its way into space missions, serving both practical and emotional purposes. Astronauts often bring their favorite music with them to space, providing a sense of comfort and connection to Earth. For example, in 2010, two astronauts from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) performed a musical duet of the traditional Japanese song âSakura, Sakuraâ aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Additionally, music has been used to counteract the stress factors of space travel, such as disrupted sleep and impaired spatial orientation. The âMusic for spaceâ project by Luis Luque Ălvarez explores the use of anti-stress music in space exploration, demonstrating the therapeutic benefits of music in maintaining astronautsâ well-being.
The Role of Music in Space Communication
Music plays a crucial role in communicating the wonders of space exploration to the public. NASAâs podcasts, for instance, use music to enhance their storytelling, making space exploration more accessible and engaging for listeners worldwide. Astronaut Nick Hague highlighted the importance of music in connecting people to the planet and the thrill of space exploration. Furthermore, music has been integrated into space-themed films and TV shows, creating memorable associations that remain in the collective consciousness. The Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss, for example, is forever linked with the classic scene in â2001: A Space Odysseyâ where a shuttle docks with an orbiting space station.
The Future of Music and Space
As space exploration continues to advance, the role of music is likely to evolve as well. Future missions may incorporate more sophisticated musical instruments and technologies, allowing astronauts to create and experience music in new ways. The potential for music therapy in deep space missions could also become a reality, providing emotional support and stress relief for astronauts on long-duration flights.
Conclusion
The intertwining of music and space exploration is a testament to the human spiritâs endless curiosity and creativity. Whether itâs through compositions inspired by the cosmos or the use of music in space missions, the harmony of the cosmos continues to resonate with us, inspiring future generations to explore the unknown and appreciate the beauty of the universe.

Lily: Finally finished it! Oh my goodness, it took too long to finish this! I lost progress on it TWICE, but thankfully third times the charm! Oh, and D&F's family member sent me this background to use!
D&F: Here is the last fic out of the three! Hope you all enjoy it!
DJ was amazed upon entering the basement. The decorations, the wallpaper scenery, it all felt like he had walked outside into the docks. Though, he couldnât help but wonder why Freddy looked a bitâŠhesitant. âI really love what youâve done with the place!â The music man grins, âI can even see a carnival from here!â The animatronic bear chuckles, âI am glad you love it, the S.T.A.F.F. Bots worked hard to arrange this setting for us.â
The disc jockey stares down at the casing in the glamrockâs hands. âIs that the movie?â He asked. The sense of nervousness made its return within the lead singer upon hearing the question. âAh, wellâŠyes.â He averts his gaze, âItâŠit is a horror movie.â A horror movie? Thatâs new, wonder where the robotic bear got his hands on it. âI know it is strange, I meant to grab a romantic one to match everything here but I wasâŠdistracted.â There is a hint of disappointment as Freddy explained. Almost as if he had already ruined their date.
DJ lowers himself down and offers an assuring smile. âHey, thatâs cool! Iâm excited to check it out!â He said. The smaller animatronic looks up at him, âYou do not mind?â The robotic spider lets out a small chuckle, âNah, it never hurts to spice things up.â Couples tend to watch horror films on their dates. At least, thatâs what he picked up on from overhearing the casual conversations of the employees. Besides, heâs curious as to what the movie has in store. Freddy couldnât help but return the gesture.
âAlright. However, at any point if you ever feel afraid to continue watching, let me know.â
The animatronic spider tenderly wraps an arm around the glamrock leader. âThatâs very sweet of you, but if you feel scared, know that we can end it and Iâll be right here to comfort you. â He replied. The orange glamrock laughs as he nuzzles against the music manâs cheek, âThank you, my brave Titan.â The robotic spider returns the gesture.Â
âAnything for my Melody Bear.â
================================
OhâŠwow.Â
The movie started out slow at first, like all horror movies usually do. Getting to know the characters, setting up the scenario, and the whole foreshadowing thing that will make the terrifying scenes more interesting. Freddy found himself favoring the older scientist, who seems to have an interest in space-related research. DJ gravitated towards the space station pilot with a love of music. The cast was likable enough, besides one that was obviously the jerk of the group.
What the two didnât account for was how GRUESOME the scenes would be. Small monstrosities crawling all over the human victims, the way the victims are devoured offscreen, even that scene with the pit was a lot. It didnât even help that the monsters of the film are spider-like in design, which cause a chill down the music manâs endo. The robotic bear sits very close to the animatronic giant, leaning against his cheeks while glued to the screen.
âI did not know spiders could do thatâŠâ mumbles the glamrock. The disc jockeyâs hug tightens a bit. âMe neitherâŠâ DJ agreed. They both jump as another jump scare occurs. âAhâŠfake out.â He chuckled to lessen the tension. The glamrock bear places his hand on the robotic spiderâs other hand, âThe-they have done a fantastic job on the outer space sections of the movie.â The music man can feel the smaller animatronicâs grip massaging his finger.
âYeah, Iâm learning a lo-â He begins but is immediately interrupted by another horror scene, âNO, NOT CARRIE!â The sudden attack of one of the crew mates caught the animatronics off guard. The previous victims were at least hinted to be next, but to see this one yanked away by one of the creatures was a shock. âNooooâŠ.â Freddy whines, âPlease, let her live.â The disc jockey took notice of how much the orange glamrock snuggles against him. Itâs comforting in a way.
âŠNow that DJ thinks about this. This must be what the employees were talking about. Wrapping around the date when they get scared, being a sign of comfort, all of it to get closer in a romantic sense. He glances at the distracted lead singer. What else did the human workers say? Just act all tough and brave, and one can easily get to some kind of base? Whatever that âbaseâ is. He opens his mouth to speak when another jump scare startles the both of them.
Maybe heâll try again when the movie takes a break from the terrifying stuff.
============================
In the end, the spider animatronic didnât get his chance to act tough or brave. He was so absorbed in the scientistâs explanation in destroying the monsters that, by the time he stopped conversing with Freddy on the effectiveness of it, the movie had returned to the action. Since then, each attempt led to constant failure as DJ held onto the glamrock for dear life.
âThat was incredible!â exclaimed the bear animatronic. While the smaller animatronic was afraid at first, he grew more and more excited after the plan devised by the remaining crew started to work.
âYeahâŠâ
âAnd the way they vanquished the monsters without destroying the space station was amazing!â
âYepâŠit was.â The robotic spider sounds a bit disappointed the more he replies. The lead singer takes notice, âIs everything alright?â DJ snaps out of his thoughts and forces a smile. âI am.â He answers as the smaller animatronic frowns, âReally.â The orange glamrock didnât buy it. Sighing, the music man scratches his cheek.
âI remember hearing some of the employees talking about acting tough to impress your date, andâŠI decided to try and do that during our movie watching.â
He lightly laughs, âI just realize how silly it was now that I said it out loud.â More than silly, the attempt was pretty dumb. He should have just enjoyed the movie like he originally did. The giant animatronic pauses when he felt a gentle touch against his face. âYou did not need to impress me by acting tough.â Freddy stated. His face softens. âEverything that you have done for our relationship is impressive.â a genuine smile forms as the animatronic bear continues, âFrom the gifts you had given me, to all of our dates!â
The glamrock plants a kiss on the disc jockeyâs nose, âYou have given me so much when I asked for so little.â DJ blinks as he takes in everything that the smaller animatronic said. Blushing, he tenderly pecks the glamrock leaderâs forehead.
âThatâs because you deserve the world.â
Freddy giggles as his cheeks flush. âI am not sure about that.â his ears wiggle lovingly, âWhat I am sure about, is how lucky I am to have you.â The music man caresses the smaller animatronicâs face.
âI feel the same.â
The robotic bear raises his eyebrow. âIs that a line from the movie?â He asked. The animatronic giant smirks, âMaaaybe~.â The two chuckle as they snuggle together.
D&F: Here is the last of the three fics! Hope you enjoy it!
Lily: And happy April Fools!
Map bot never minds helping DJ and Freddy with their romance. Heck, sheâs a sucker for the whole thing. Even when itâs a secret affair. Fazbear Entertainmentâs policy forbids romance because of how nasty the altercations can be when something goes wrong. Sheâs seen some of them: the notorious Romeo and Juliet employees whose âquietâ relationship blew up into a fierce argument that divided the human staff for a few weeks. The food employees whose subtle romance at the food court turned sour one day and begin sabotaging each otherâs stations. Oh, and there was also the music departmentâs fiasco that was a âwarâ between employees! All of it dating back to two humans who were in a relationship âon the down lowâ, and one of them decided to steal the otherâs work for a raise.
Map finds them interesting, more so than the ones that the humans watch in the break room. She loves watching the affection, the caring nature that blossoms between lovers, and the cute little things they do for one another. The bot even got to play a part of them. Mostly delivering, coveringâŠand cleaning.
SoâŠso much cleaning.
Although Map bot isnât one for disasters, seeing the disasters of these romances were fascination. The ripple effects they had on the work force, the destruction it creates, all to suddenly fade away as if they never happen. Love is a complicated thing that can either become a beautiful scenery, or a violent spiral. So, for DJ to reveal that he and Freddy confessed to each other. WellâŠshe has done EVERYTHING to keep such a sweet relationship safe and whole.
One of them is helping these two with their long distance problem.
Map had researched everything on long distance relationships. The chances of them being successful areâŠnot particularly high. In fact they have a veryâŠVERY low percentage. From higher chances of cheating to occur to simply falling out of love. While neither Freddy or DJ will ever cheat on each other, or stop being in love, it was something the bot didnât want to leave to chance.
âDone!â
The S.T.A.F.F. Bot stares up at the grinning music man. The disc jockey had been working on a new song, humming out certain parts to see which instrumental tune would fit best. Even playing it over to the staff animatronic for opinions. Map bot had been leaning against the stage, pondering for a while. âFreddy is going to love this one!â Map botâs eyes widen. Of course! âWAIT.â She gazes up at the robotic spider, âWHY NOT ADD SOMETHING ELSE TO IT?â DJ tilts his head, âAdd something else?â
âA GIFT CARRIER!â suggests the bot. The animatronic spider blinks, âGift carrier?â
âA GIFT CARRIER DELIVERS THE GIFTS THAT YOU WISH TO GIVE TO THE PERSON OF INTEREST FOR YOU!â
Map remembers seeing those carriers coming in the megaplex, bringing gifts and handing them to the one of the employees with a song and a smile. âNeat, but uhâŠâ The music man hesitantly scratches his cheek, âI can just send the song I made through text.â
âBUT THAT IS WHAT YOU ALWAYS DO!â Map bot raised her voice. Her hands animate as she continues, âYOU SHOULD MAKE THIS MORE INTERESTING THAT WILL DAZZLE FREDDY!â Seeing the surprise on the giant animatronicâs face made the S.T.A.F.F. Bot calm down. âA-AT LEAST FOR TODAY!â She added. DJ rubs his chin as he thinks on it. âYeahâŠI guess I should!â He smiles, âHereâs the music!â
The worker animatronic receives a message with the music attached. Yes! Now to get this in motion! âI WILL ALSO MAKE SURE HE RECEIVES IT IN THE MOST ROMANTIC WAY WITHOUT DRAWING ATTENTION.â Map bot promised. The disc jockey chuckles as he watches her rolls away with a thumbs up. He then pause as he realize something.
âJust remember not to draw attention to yourself!â
==============================================
Map bot understands to keep things on âthe down lowâ. As a S.T.A.F.F. Bot, staying out of everyoneâs attention is simple. No one pays that much attention to the staff animatronics, they are basically invisible. Anything they do go unnoticed, unless one does something serious enough to warrant that attention. Like glitching out, getting destroyed, ruining anything, things that donât happened too oftenâŠWell the âdestroyedâ part does, but thatâs totally different topic. Point blank, a S.T.A.F.F. Bot can easily get away with doing anything without drawing any gazes to them.
Which is why she rolls along to Fazerblaster with six heart shaped balloons in each hand.
Freddy happened to turn around just in time to notice her. âOh! Hello, Map bot!â The orange glamrock greets, âAre you delivering all of this to someone?â The bot may not have a mouth to visibly show it, but her happiness just radiates from her. âYES.â She beamed. âTO A VERY SPECIAL BEAR, FROM A LOVING ADMIRER!â The animatronic worker even did the twirl she remembered seeing a carrier do one time. To add a bit more to the flare, she decides to play the gift for the lead singer.
He gasps, âThis music!â His ears wiggle as excitement sparkle in his stare. Now to finish it off by giving the robotic bear his gift via text message. âFOR YOU!â Map said. The look on Freddyâs face as his cheeks flush, she couldnât help but feel pride. âThis is so sweet!â The botâs chest puffs up the more she listens, âAlthoughâŠâ Her eyes opens, catching the hint of confusion on his expression.
âHe could have just sent the song to me through text.â
The S.T.A.F.F. Botâs eye twitches. âHE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING.â She answered with annoyance. The glamrock bear quickly raises his hands, âI know, and I appreciate it!â He then begin fiddling with his fingers. âI am a bit moreâŠsimple, is all.â admits the bear animatronic. All Map bot could do is stare at him. All that hard workâŠgathering spare balloons, finding the machine to blow them up, even the strings used to tie the balloons took a while to obtained. Yet, the lead singer still prefers simplicity. Her shoulders slump.
Freddy blinks, âMap?â The bot doesnât reply. Instead, she shoves the balloons into his hands. âENJOY.â She said. Dejected, the staff animatronic heads out. âWait.â Map bot stops. She glances back at the concerned glamrock. âIs something wrong?â He asked. The S.T.A.F.F. Bot wonders if she should tell him the reason. What if it ends up causing the animatronic bear to feel insecure about the relationship? Then again, she didnât want him to continue worrying about herâŠâI WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED IT.â Map bot reveals, âAS A WAY TO HELP.â
âHelp?â Freddy tilts his head. Sighing, the animatronic worker turns to him. âONLY THIRTY-ONE PERCENT OF LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS ARE SUCCESSFUL. MEANING THAT THERE IS A SIXTY-NINE PERCENT CHANCE OF FALIURE.â She explained. The bot drops her head in shame, the one time she decides to fully insert herself in a relationship willingly and she messes up. A hand gently pats her shoulder. Surprise, she gazes up at him.
âMap bot, thank you for your concern.â The robotic bear warmly smiles at the staff animatronic, âHowever, I can assure you that our relationship will not fall apart so easily.â A sad expression appears on Map botâs face, âI AM SORRYâŠâ The glamrock leader chuckles, âDo not be sorry! It was actually a very interesting gesture to suggest!â Seeing the happiness radiate from Freddy gave the robotic worker assurance that things are still well.
GoodâŠ
âIn factâŠâ the orange glamrock smiles, âIf you do not mind, I wish to use your service for today as well.â
=============================================
âNo way!â
DJ couldn't help but be happily surprise at the sight. Map bot had returned to the DJ Arena, wearing the space gear from Freddy's attraction as requested from the glamrock leader himself. She even has the fazer-blaster in hand! âFROM THE INTERSTELLAR DELIVERY SERVICE, YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM THE SPACE RANGER HIMSELF!â says the staff animatronic as she poses. She then plays it out loud:
âThank you for sending me such a lovely gift, my dear Titan! I hope that you enjoy mine!â
The music man burst into laughter as his hands covers his deep red face. Itâs the first time the bot has ever seen him like this! A warm feeling within her swells. Once the laughter dies down, the disc jockey lowers his hands for her to see his bashful gaze. âMaybe doing this wasnât so bad, after all!â He chuckled.
In the end, the two animatronics came to an agreement to let Map bot do her gift carrier idea. Albeit, only under special occasions and for them to be minimal. She gladly did so whenever the opportunity arrives. Though, with how extravagant the Pizzaplex tends to be on the holidays, she finds herself going a bit overboard during those times. Still, the S.T.A.F.F. Bot is thankful to be able to help the two romantics in any way she can.

D&F: Here is the second out of the three fics! Hope you all enjoy it!
DJ calmly hums as he chills on his stage. He had finished a party earlier, letting him enjoy a nice break. Freddy should be going on stage right now, the disc jockey even sent an encouraging message to the glamrock bear. Itâs always a shame though, that the music man couldnât be there to watch the glamrocks perform. The thought of being able to show support while listening to his dear bearâs voice made his lip twitch.
A silent sigh escapes the animatronic giant, his size truly makes simple things a hassle sometimes. Even if the robotic spider could leave Fazcade, he is sure that an oversize animatronic like himself will attract a lot of attention away from the glamrocks regardless.
StillâŠ
DJ opens his eyes. He would have love to experience the sight. Chica and Monty ripping their guitars, Roxy weaving the notes from her keytar, and FreddyâŠwhose movements and voice that shapes a stage into a magical scene that dazzles all that witness it. A small, sad smile emerge from the spider animatronic as his gaze wanders to the wall in front of him.
If only there was a flat screen for the music man to see the showâŠ
âDJ!â The disc jockey turns around and spots the familiar S.T.A.F.F. Bot. He grins, âHey, Map bot! Youâre on break too?â The animatronic spider pauses when he realizes the bot wheeling in something onto the dance floor. Isnât that the television set from the storage room? His eyes squint as he tilts his head. Odd, she usually doesnât suggest movie time during work hours. âUhâŠâ DJ begins to ask, but is stopped by the raise of her finger. Confused, the music man continue to watch the animatronic worker in silence.
Pulling out a cord from her head, Map bot plugs it to the back of the tv. She then presses a button. As the screen turns on, they are greeted to the visual of the atrium. A full house of people cheering and roaring as four figures appear on the big stage. âHello everybodyyy~!â exclaims a voice from the screen. The giant animatronicâs eyes widen.
âFrâŠFreddy?â
The image zooms in close enough to show the glamrock leaderâs signature smile as he waves to the audience. âThank you all so much for being here!â He greeted. DJ couldnât believe it, he leans in.
âIs that-?!â
ThisâŠthis is the glamrocks performance! LIVE! One the television screen! HOW?! âHE REQUESTED TO HAVE IT BRODCAST TO YOU.â said Map bot. WaitâŠso Freddy got the S.T.A.F.F. Bots to work together for the disc jockey to see? âBefore we begin,â The orange glamrockâs face softens. They way the robotic bear stares ahead, it feels as if he is looking right at the music man.
âI just want to dedicate this song to a very special person!â
The excitement dies down as he begins. The first notes glide from his lips and onto the crowd. It's soft tone guiding the those that listen to a untold journey. From the skies, through the stars, and into the vast unknown. As the intonation grows stronger, the sounds of instruments starts to play. Chica, Monty, and Roxy all play in rhythm of the wonderful ballad.
DJ covers his mouth his hand. He knows that song! HE sung it personally to Freddy weeks ago! Now here is the glamrock leader; his band playing it in front of an audience with lyrics to match! The animatronic giant couldn't help but deeply blush. ââŠFreddy, you sly bear.â He uttered with a grin.
As the music ends, the crowd loudly applause. âHappy Birthday, Ryan!â exclaims the glamrock bear. The robotic spider watches him wave happily in the direction of the cheering audience, knowing who the gesture is really for.
âNow letâs ROCK!!â
DJ witness the band bring the atrium to life with their song and dance, grinning from audio to audio.
D&F: Here is the first out of the three fics made! Hope you all enjoy it!
Lily: Sorry for taking so long to post! We've been busy as of late, but we're still making stuff! Don't worry!
The glamrocks are preparing to go out to do their performance, and as always the lead singer is the earliest one to be ready. Freddy letâs out a sigh. This week had been more hectic than usual. So many birthdays and parties had been booked almost back to back that break times were barely possible. Irritation is at an all time high, and itâs starting to show. Arguments are happening more often, a few fights occurred in the utility tunnels, and everyone just feel incredibly exhausted. Even the other animatronics are feeling it.
âChica donât eat that! You're going on stage!â
The robotic bearâs finger started twitching.
He can already feel the invisible pressure growing in his head, making him subconsciously rub the side of his head. The overworking of the CPU as it tries to manage tasks that seems to fail, due to so many things going wrong somehow. The rise of panic that builds the longer things continue getting worse. To animatronics, it's a warning sign of a potential overload, but to humans it's known as stress.
Stress that can easily cause glitching to trigger in Freddy if he isn't careful. Checking his interface, he notice an unread message:
[ Break a leg out there, my Melody Bear â„ ]
The orange glamrock couldnât help but smile as he reads it. He and DJ donât always get to do their date nights regularly. Not just because of how long it took for their dates to get set up, but also due to their busy schedules.
The glamrocks are the ones that the guests come for, their performance brings the megaplex income outside of the attractions and shops. As a result, whenever the pizzaplex receives a busy week, the robotic bear usually ends up far too preoccupied to spend time with the giant animatronic.
Which is where the messages come in.
They were DJ's idea, sending these words of encouragement before the performance. Every time the lead singer would read these messages, and he would always send a short response back thanking the robotic spider.
The bear animatronic's smile fades as he hears the commotion increase. Monty's aggression have spiked thanks to growing tension. Not enough to do actual harm, but the bassist had already broken a list of things over the course of the week. Roxy's obsession with her looks have also gotten worse. As much as wolf animatronic refuse to admit, the stress was getting to her that even a strand of hair being out of place will set her off.
Sadly, the two glamrocks are clashing with one another. Probably due to the keytarist's constant use of hair spray before she steps onto the stage piece. Some of the employees are trying to de-esculate the situation to the best of their abilities. As for Chica, she is trying take back the small food from the human worker. While the guitarist finds any opportunity to eat, getting worked up like this makes it worse. She would need to stay calm, and eating fulfills that need. Unfortunately, it can also cause her to experience performance problems with the devoured food clogging up her insides.
Freddy's eye twitches. Too much yellingâŠnot enough time to take a step backâŠso much stress. He can feel his body going stiff. The robotic bear's notification alerts him of a new message and checks it.
[ Try this before you head on stage đđ. ]
Along with it is an attachment. Curious, the glamrock leader opens it. What enters his audios is the gentle notes of music. It takes the bear animatronic by surprise, then a warm smile forms. He allows the soothing string of song to flow, brushing away the rising stress. The chaos around him had been silencedâŠtime feels like it is slowing to a halt. The robotic bear closes his his eyes as his form relaxes. It's as if DJ is right here, singing this beautiful melody to him.
Freddy can envision that wonderful grin on the disc jockey's face, the loving gaze trained on him while spinning the tender pieces of harmony. Every note constructed from the animatronic spider's voice, is like his own touch caressing the lead singer's cheek. Everything is so serene, and not a single care in the world could break it.
As the song quietly ends, Freddy calmly opens his eyes. His band mates are stationed on the lift, annoyed but less frustrated. As it raises, the animatronic bear states.
âWe can have a sleepover tonight.â
The group turn to him in shock. Mostly because he isn't one to suggest things that would clearly break night protocol. However after today, security will be lax and the staff isn't going to be hung up on anything minor for a while. PlusâŠhis friends need something to enjoy themselves, so doing the one thing they all had expressed great interest in seems like a good idea. âIn my room.â adds the robotic bear. All the irritation evaporated from the other glamrocks as excitement took over.
Freddy quickly sends a reply to DJ before the group arrive on stage.
Theyâve been together for a good while, and both of them have confessed their feelings to one another. Itâs timeâŠthat they take the relationship to the next logical step:
Their first kiss.
The thought of it always makes Freddy blush. He had been preparing for the moment for some time. How he was going to approach DJ, what he was going to sayâŠThe glamrock bear even tried practicing for the kiss. Keyword being TRIED. With no DJ Music Man plush dolls being sold in the megaplex, Freddy had toâŠimprovise.
He thought drawing a picture of the disc jockey's face and taping it to the large Freddy plushie would work. However, all it did was made the lead singer horribly embarrassed with every failed attempt. Plus, the paper kept falling off, so Freddy had to give up on that part of the plan. He'll justâŠhave to wing it. When the day comes, just say a few simple words and that's it.
Act natural.
===========================
Freddy and DJ hung out the next day, laughing about a particular subject. ââŠand that is why I get so nervous around confetti cannons.â The music man concluded. The robotic bear shakes his head. âI cannot believe you swallowed a whole canon like that! I did not even know that had happened!â another chuckle escapes him, âI simply thought you shooting confetti out of your mouth was a built-in feature!â The giant animatronic sheepishly scratches his cheek, âYeah well, I was nervous about my first day here, I wanted to make sure impressed everyone, and one of the confetti cannons was already there soâŠâ The orange glamrock smiles up at the disc jockey.
âDJ, you did not need to put yourself in such a predicament to impress anyone. Your music alone does an amazing job on that.â
âYeah, I know that NOW, but the me back then didnât.â DJ smirks, âI justâŠwanted to cover my basis, thatâs all.â Freddy leans against the robotic spider. âWell, I can definitely say that it was a blast to see it.â He tells the music man. The animatronic spider immediately picks up on the pun and laughs. The lead singerâs ears twitched as the lovely tunes filled the room around them. Even when the disc jockey laughs, he creates the most wonderful music. Itâs then something that the glamrock remembers something.
The kiss!
He quickly sits up. Thatâs right, this is the perfect time to try it! âEverything okay down there?â Freddy jumps and turns around. âAh-yes! E-everything is fine!â He lets out a nervous laugh. Oh no, heâs making it awkward! Relax! Relax! Unfortunately, the more the bear animatronic tries to calm down the more anxious he gets. Just KNOWING that he wants his muzzle on ANY part of DJ is making him blush! Augh, that sounds so inappropriate to even say in his own head! The confuse stare from the robotic spider makes it very obvious how UNnatrual the glamrock bear is being right now!
Build up to it! Try and talk about something that can help bridge towards the kiss!
Freddy deeply inhales. âHave you ever seen the movie about the sleeping princess?!â He askedâŠrather loudly. The music man blinks. âYou mean the one where the princess got pricked by a sewing needle, right?â he pondered aloud. Yes, theyâre getting somewhere! The glamrock bearâs eyes sparkle with enthusiasm, âYes, that one! Have you seen it?!â A sad smile forms on DJâs lips as he shakes his head. âAfraid not, kind of been stuck here, you know?â He stated. Everything comes to a crashing halt in the robotic bearâs mind.
Of course, Freddy forgets about the fact that the disc jockey is too big for the theater! Why did he bring up the movie in the first place?! The glamrock leader should have gone with something else! The deflated feeling sinks in as his gaze falls. âAhâŠright.â He muttered. And Sleeping Beauty?! Why that movie?! That just makes it TOO obvious to the animatronic giant what he wants to do! Freddy covers his face with his hands to hide the deep blush.
Somethingâs off with Freddy. Everything was fine and dandy for a moment, but now the glamrock bear is acting strange and wonât even look at DJ. IsâŠis the animatronic bear sad that the music man didnât see the movie? He glances back down at the smaller animatronic. No, that canât be it. The disc jockey begins recalling the events prior. It started with the robotic bear sitting up so suddenly. Almost like he had just been alerted to something urgent. Then, he stuttered and kept darting his eyes to the spider animatronic. Thatâs when the question about the movie came.
âŠWait.
DJâs eyes squinted. The movieâŠSleeping BeautyâŠHe replays the way the lead singer kept staring at him. Or rather, the orange glamrock was staring at hisâŠlips. The giant animatronicâs eyes grew. The weird behaviorâŠthe questionâŠthe staringâŠ
Freddy wants to kiss DJ.
The music man can feel his cheeks heat up. Has he ever considered the action? Of course, but the robotic spider had to stop himself because this was his first relationship! He didnât want to do anything like that without Freddy being ready! It just feltâŠpersonal! The disc jockey looks down at the embarrassed glamrock. He smirks, at least he now knows that the bear animatronic is ready. Although now that DJ thinks about it, their size difference would make the action difficult. He leans down, âHey Freddy?â
Freddyâs head shoots up. âYes?!â He asked. Suddenly, he felt somethingâŠsoft touch the side of his head. It isnât the music manâs finger or his cheek, the texture is far too different to be either of them. His ears pick up a soft sound, a musical note so gentle yet quiet. The spider animatronic pulls away and rests his hand in his hands. âI heard about it, though.â He winks, âAnd I think itâs pretty cute how she was saved.â The glamrock leader didnât say anything. His CPU is still processing what just happened. Slowly, it begins to piece together the series of events that transpired. Adding in the little comment that DJ made, and the orange glamrock is redder than Mars.
âŠDJ kissed him.
DJ kissed Freddy, he ACTUALLY kissed the robotic bear. This repeats as the wide-eyed glamrock sits there, immobilized. Meanwhile, the disc jockey couldnât help but enjoy the adorable reaction beside him. Hopefully, it doesnât cause the glamrock bear to short circuit. He will never live with himself with that happens, even if it is funny to think about. âA-a-ahâŠDJ?â Freddy spoke. His wide eyes too stun to look up at the animatronic giant. The disc jockey leans down again, âYeah?â He felt something touch his bottom lip. It was sudden, but the smooth feeling that the music man managed to identify left his entire face turning a dark shade of red.
âIâŠIâŠâ The glamrock leader stares back in shock. His hands frantically wave as he stutters an explanation, âI-I-I meant to kiss you on the cheek! I did not mean to kiss you-â
DJâs mouth presses against his muzzle, silencing the orange glamrock instantly. While their contrasting sizes made the action a bit tricky, they still managed. Freddy's surprise vanishes as he eases into it, returning the gesture. The world around them didnât matter, not for that brief moment. The kissâŠfelt incredible, indescribable. He wishes they could stay like this forever.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. The music man slowly pulls away, letting the sensation linger just a bit longer when their lip's part. Neither of them needs air to breathe. However, it is past time for Freddy to leave. The animatronic bearâs eyes fluttered open. DJâs warm grin greeting him, along with tender touch to his cheek. âItâs okay, Sleeping Beauty, it wasâŠnice.â says the spider animatronic. The lead singerâs ears wiggle wildly as a bubbling feeling grew. âDJâŠâ He giggled.
When the glamrock leader exits Fazcade, he was far more joyful and whimsical than he ever did in his existence. However, by the time he made it to his green room, he realized what DJ had called him. Too say that the orange glamrock became a red glamrock that day would be understatement.
