#switch!gregory

Gregory screamed and sat up suddenly. He looked around the room, heavily breathing. He ripped the blanket off himself and jumped off the bed. But to his surprise, his body didn’t fall off the bed. But, his body slapped against some wood instead. He felt the wood underneath his fingers, and looked around. 

There was a large sign that said [FREDDY FAZBEAR’S PIZZAPLEX] on the wall over the gate, and there were two wooden crates on either side of him. Where…Where is he? 

“Hello, little boy.” Someone said beside him. Gregory widened his eyes and turned towards the voice. The huge animatronic walked up to him, staring at Gregory with his bright red eyes, and his half smile. 

Gregory sprinted to Moondrop and tackled him down to the ground. “MOON!” Gregory shouted, hugging him tightly. 

Moon looked down at Gregory, wrapping his arms around the boy. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Moon asked him. 

Gregory sobbed and closed his eyes as he started to cry. Moon silently grabbed a blanket, and wrapped it around his shoulder. He gently lifted Gregory’s head, laid the blanket onto his own shoulder and laid Gregory back against the blanket. “I want to let you cry. But water is not good for my animatronic parts.” Moon told him. 

Gregory nodded, before bursting out crying all over again. He held the blanket with his right hand, and hugged Moon again with his left arm. 

His crying lasted for a good 10 minutes. 10 minutes of sobbing, crying, whimpering and tears. By the end of 10 minutes, the blanket was completely soaked. 

“Alright, Gregory. Do you want to talk about it now?” Moon asked. 

Gregory looked up at Moon, his cheeks completely red from crying. He sniffled and rubbed his nose. “Well…” He looked down. “It’s stupid…” He told Moon. 

“It’s not stupid if it makes you scared.” Moon told him. “You are allowed to feel fear for anything. Even spiders!” Moon told him. 

Gregory shook his head, feeling himself cry a bit more. “No…It’s dumb. I know you want to tell me it’s dumb.” Gregory sobbed. 

“...How can I call it dumb if I don’t even know what your dream was about?” Moon asked. 

“Different people fear different things. People fear zombies, people fear sickness, people even fear being loved.” Moon told him. “I met a child who was scared of her car running out of gas.” Moon told him.

“R…Really?” Gregory asked. 

“But that was because she didn’t know how they would get back home without gas. And once I explained how they would get home…she lost some of her fear.” He told Gregory. 

Gregory nodded, looking down still.

“People are scared of what they don’t fully understand.” Moon told him. 

Gregory looked at Moon. “Are you scared of something?” Gregory asked Moon. 

Moon thought for a moment. “Well…” He put his index finger against his own chin. “Yes. I am scared of something.” Moon told him. 

Gregory seemed to calm down the slightest bit upon hearing that alone. “What are you scared of?” 

Moon smiled a bit. “I’m scared of kids that don’t follow rules, haha!” Moon joked. 

But Gregory’s face dropped in annoyance and dread. He sighed and shook his head. “Nevermind.” He said, looking away with slight annoyance. 

Moon looked down and shook his head. “But…for real…I’m scared of losing my brother.” Moon admitted. 

Gregory looked over to Moon hesitantly as he continued. 

“I’m scared of losing Sun…waking up and seeing him either being taken away or shut down against his will.” Moon admitted. “I couldn’t live with myself if he was taken away from me. We’re brothers. We have each other’s backs till the end.” Moon told him.

Gregory looked at Moon with a new set of eyes. He slowly started to feel empathy for The Daycare Attendant. He’s scared of losing his brother…Gregory knew how it felt to lose family…he knew that all too well. 

“I’m sorry.” Gregory told him. 

Moon shook his head. “The chances of that happening are low, anyway.” Moon told him, trying to lighten up the mood. 

“Regardless…that’s scary for anyone.” Gregory said. 

Moon looked down a bit, struggling to not let it get to him. “Y…” He sighed. “Y-yeah. It is.” He finally replied. 

“But that’s okay. It’s okay to be scared.” Gregory told him. 

“It’s okay for you to be scared too, Little boy.” Moon told him. 

Gregory nodded and hugged Moon again. He appreciated the empathy Moon was showing him. It felt nice to be heard and accepted. “My nightmare was about losing Freddy.” Gregory admitted. “Freddy powering down, and me not being able to save him. And knowing he was trying to save me when I should’ve been the one to save him.” Gregory admitted. 

“Gregory…” Moon looked at Gregory. “Even if he were to power down and leave you alone…He is willing to sacrifice his own life for you. And I think you should honor that.” Moon told him. “Though I agree, it is sad that Freddy had run out of battery…and mourning him is something you should definitely do…make sure you also thank Freddy for all he’s done for you. Cause there aren’t a lot of animatronics who will choose humans over themselves.” Moon added. 

Gregory nodded and closed his eyes. He rested his head against Moon’s belly for a little while longer, taking in the cool comfort Moon was providing him. His breathing slowed for a few minutes at most…

Then a small smile grew onto Gregory’s face as he took in a breath, turned his head to the front and blew a raspberry onto Moon’s belly. 

Moon’s eyes widened as his eyes went white with surprise. “Wait- BAHAHAHAhahahahaha!” Moon laughed. “Nohoho fahahair! Nooo fahahahahair!” He laughed. 

Gregory giggled and looked up. “What?” He asked. “Ticklish?” He asked. 

“Yohohou-” Moon picked up Gregory and started skittering his fingers all over both of Gregory’s armpits. “You think you can tickle the moon without being tickled back, naughty boy~?” Moon asked, seemingly recovered within milliseconds. 

Gregory screamed and bursted out cackling. “GAAAHAHAHAHAHA! WAIT NOHOHOHO! HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Gregory shouted and laughed, wiggling around all over the place. 

“No what? No fair?” Moon asked. 

“YEAHAHAHAAA!” Gregory replied. 

“What are you talking about? All is fair in a 2-person tickle fight.” Moon reacted. 

“IHIHIS NOT!” Gregory argued. 

Moon gasped and paused tickling. “How DARE you contradict me!” Moon reacted, acting offended. “Now cheer up, naughty boy!” Moon declared as he lowered his fingers down…and started digging his fingers into Gregory’s vulnerable hips. 

Gregory started kicking and cackling in an almost animalistic fashion…Almost like Gregory had turned into a wild, baby chimpanzee. “IHIHIT’S SOHOHOHO MEHEHEEEAN!” Gregory yelled. 

“It iiiiis?” Moon teased. “How funny you say that…” He said with a sly, mischievous voice. 

Gregory’s laughter started to die down slightly as he felt Moon’s fingers move up to his sides this time. “HAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha!” Gregory laughed, shaking his head left and right as he gripped Moon’s wrists. 

“My my…you have more strength than I thought you’d have!” Moon reacted. “Tell me: How many stackable chairs can you lift up on your own?” Moon asked. 

“Hehehehehe- Threeheheheheee.” Gregory replied. 

“Wow! Now that’s a lot! I’m pleasantly surprised!” Moon reacted as he turned his body into a rainbow curve so he could see Greg’s face perfectly with his upside-down face. “Tell me:” Moon stopped tickling and jumped over Gregory’s head. His feet landed on the ground in front of Gregory, facing the boy as he landed. “Can you lift me up?” Moon asked him. 

“Whahaha- Whahat?” Gregory asked, confused. “Yohohou’re mehetal. Why would Ihi be able to lihift you if yohou’re metal?” Gregory asked. 

“That’s simple!” Moon walked closer to Gregory and knelt down. “My body is built with porous metals! Meaning I am lighter in weight, but still high quality!” Moon declared, showing him his . “My brother, Sun, is also made with that type of steel!” Moon added. “So try and lift me up!” Moon told him. 

Gregory chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. “Okay…” He watched as Moon knelt down to allow Gregory to grab his waist instead of his baggy legs. 

Gregory stretched out his fingers in front, cracking them in the process, before making a circle with both his upper arms. With Gregory ready, he wrapped his arms around Moon’s thin waist and lifted him up. Gregory felt as Moon was surprisingly lifted off the ground. 

“You’re doing it!” Moon reacted. “You’re lifting me up!” Moon reacted, excitedly. 

“I…I am?” Gregory asked. 

“Yes! You’re lifting me! You can lift me!” Moon reacted. 

Gregory chuckled and looked up at Moon. “This is easier than I thought!” 

“You’re so strong!” Moon reacted. 

“I could do this for another hour!” Gregory reacted. 

“Really?!” Moon reacted. “Alright! Let’s see how long you can do it for!” Moon decided. 

“Okay.” Gregory replied. “Let’s see how long I can hold you uhuhUHUHUP- WAIT WAHAHAIHIHIHIT!” Gregory suddenly burst out laughing.

“What?” Moon asked, his smirk growing more and more menacing. “Ticklish?” He asked, repeating Gregory’s words from earlier. 

“YEHEHEHESSS!” Gregory yelled, before quickly dropping Moon. 

Only Moon’s knees were affected in this scenario…but not very much. His knees only clunked against the wooden floor. “Oop- That was 19.52 seconds.” Moon told him. 

Gregory was doubled over, and hugging his armpits as he kept giggling. “Youhuhuhu cheheateher.” Gregory muttered under his breath. 

“Ch-Cheater?!” Moon reacted. “Yeheah! You cheated!” Gregory reacted. 

“I did not! I wanted to see how long you’d last holding onto me!” Moon reacted. 

“But you tickled me while I was holding you! That’s dangerous!” Gregory yelled. 

“I had it under control. I knew to move my hands back once you dropped me.” Moon told him. 

“Still considered cheating.” Gregory muttered. 

“It made you feel better, didn’t it?” Moon asked. 

Gregory huffed and crossed his arms, looking to the right. “...Yeah…” He replied somewhat quietly. 

Moon’s smile lessened a bit. “Tell you what:” Moon opened his arms. “You get 10 minutes to tickle me without any retaliation during, or after.” Moon told him. 

“10 minutes?” Gregory clarified. 

“10 minutes.” Moon replied. 

Gregory looked Moon up and down with a slight smile. “...And no retaliation?” 

“No retaliation during, or after the 10 minutes.” Moon replied. 

Gregory’s smile grew as he offered his hand. “Deal.” 

Moon shook Gregory’s hand. “10 minutes starts in 3…2-” 

Gregory pulled on Moon’s arm, causing him to fall onto the ground. He turned Moon over and started skittering his fingers all over Moon’s belly and sides. “GO!” Gregory declared.

“YOHOHOU CHEHEHEATEHED!” Moon shouted as he struggled to start the timer on his eye screen.

“Great! I get an extra 2 seconds! Now it’s 10 minutes and 2 seconds!” Gregory declared next. 

“FIHIHINE.” Moon finally started the timer, and watched as the timer went from 10.00, to 9.59. “NOHOHOW GOHOHO NUTS!” Moon shouted to him. 

Gregory paused his tickling for only a second, so he could say one single response. 

“And on the left…We have Glamrock Bonnie! And the Strikers!” The Map Bot declared, pointing to Bonnie and his team. On his team was Vanessa, Chica, Monty and Sundrop.

“And on the right, we have Glamrock Freddy! And his Fazteam!” The Map Bot declared next, pointing to Freddy and his team. On his team was Gregory, Roxanne, Vanny and Moondrop.

The team was split in 2, with 10 characters joining in on the game. But why did only 10 of the 15 characters join the game? Well…Because the S.T.A.F.F Bots didn’t feel like joining. Map Bot volunteered to be the host/judge instead of playing. Music Man and DJ Man volunteered to play the dramatic music rather than participating. And the Endoskeletons were way too busy being…themselves…to play the game.

“And when I say go, the game will start.” The Map Bot declared.

Bonnie and his team readied into their running positions.

Freddy and his team readied themselves into their running positions.

“3…” Map Bot counted down.

Freddy and Bonnie both narrowed their eyes at each other.

“2…” Map Bot counted.

The Fazteam and the Strikers all narrowed their eyes at each other.

“1…” The Map Bot counted.

The Map Bot raised up a Faz-Camera. “GO!” Map Bot declared.

And after hearing those words, all hell broke loose. The only sound and visual that could be distinguishable from the screaming and stomping, was the clicking sound and the flash of the Faz-Camera.

Bonnie went for Freddy, tackling him to the ground. Freddy grabbed Bonnie’s left ear and started tickling it with his other hand. “Let’s start with the ears, shall we?” Freddy declared.

Bonnie squealed and went for Freddy’s belly. “Nohohoho! Ihihif yohou touch my ehehears, Ihihi gehehet your behehelly!” Bonnie replied.

Freddy froze and squeezed his eyes shut as he tried not to laugh. “N-No! Ru-rude!” Freddy told him.

Bonnie dug his thumb into Freddy’s belly. “Tihihickle tihickle, Freheddyhyhy!” Bonnie declared, tickling right near the belly button area.

Freddy snickered and finally bursted out laughing. “GAAAhahahahahaha! BOHOHONNIHIHIE, NOHOHOhohoho!” Freddy reacted, letting go of Bonnie’s ears so he could cover up his own belly.

Bonnie smiled. “Tickle tickle tickle tickle, Freddy~” He teased. “Now tell me: Which side tickles more?” Bonnie started tickling the right side. “This side?” Bonnie asked.

Freddy squealed and shook his head as he laughed hysterically. “AHAHAHAhahaha! COHOHOME OHOHON!” Freddy howled.

“Or…This side?” Bonnie started tickling Freddy’s left side.

Freddy wheezed and quickly started cackling up a storm. He was just unable to stop the laughter that came from his artificial voice box and left through his mouth. “NAHAHAT THEHERE! NAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!” Freddy screamed.

Bonnie gasped dramatically. “Looks like someone’s left side is more ticklish than their right! How peculiar!” Bonnie teased.

“BEHEHE QUIHIHIET!” Freddy shouted.

“I’d rather not.” Bonnie replied with a wide smile.

“Ooooh! Looks like Bonnie’s got the upper hand on Freddy at the moment! Now, let’s see what’s going on with Chica and Roxanne!” Map Bot declared.

Chica had tackled Roxy to the ground and immediately went for Roxy’s armpits. “A little reminder, that I know every ticklish spot on your body.” Chica told her as she lifted up Roxy’s right arm. “So you should just give up now and call it my win.” Chica added.

Roxy growled and showed Chica her sharp teeth. “Fight me, chicken.” Roxy practically spat.

Chica bawked in laughter and started tickling her right armpit with her right hand. “That’s what I am! Don’t wear it out!” Chica teased.

Roxy squeaked and burst out in fits of giggles. “EEEHehehehehehehe! Yohohohou wohon’t breheheheak mehehehe!” Roxy said through her laughter.

“Oh, I won’t? Well, I’m afraid you can’t predict the future.” Chica reminded her.

“Yohohou cahahahan’t eheheheither!” Roxy argued.

“Oho, I know. But I am more capable of creating my future. It helps being the tickler in this circumstance.” Chica teased next.

Chica moved her bright pink fingernails off of Roxy’s armpit. “Now, if I can remember correctly…” Chica moved her right hand up to Roxy’s lower inner shoulder, and poked it. “Your upper arm is more ticklish than your actual armpit…” She started drawing very slow circles with her fingernail. “Am I right?” Chica asked.

Roxy squeaked and froze. “N-No…Whaaaat are you taaaalking aboooout?” Roxy asked, not wanting to admit it.

Then, Chica started skittering.

Roxy threw her head back and burst out in wild cackles. “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! CHIHIHICAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!” Roxy shouted.

“WOW! Holy cluck! I knew I was right, but I was NOT prepared for such a strong reaction!” Chica admitted. “Maybe I should be a lot softer on this spot…” Chica added as she slowed her fingers down to a better, calmer pace. Rosy’s cackles turned to softer giggles for a little while.

“Chica’s got Roxanne howling with laughter! Pun completely intended.” Map Bot teased. “Now, let’s see what’s happening with Gregory and Vanessa!” Map Bot declared.

Gregory had headbutted himself into Vanessa, knocking her right onto the ground. And before she could comprehend what had happened, Gregory was already scooting himself to Vanessa’s feet and pulling off her shoes.

“Wait- WAIT! NOT MY FEET! GREGORY, I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU GO FOR MY FEET.” Vanessa shouted.

“Oh please…” Gregory rolled his eyes, wrapping his left arm around her feet and skittering his fingers on both her feet with his right hand. “I’m not scared of you, ticklish baby.” Gregory teased.

Vanessa squealed and threw her head back, falling to pieces with laughter. “YOHOHOU EHEHEVIL SHIHIHI-”

“Ah, ah, ah~” Gregory gave Vanessa a big smirk and moved his fingers up to her toes. “No swearing. Swearing earns you tickles.” Gregory told her.

Vanessa curled her toes and squeaked in surprise. The shock was written all over her face as she tugged on her legs desperately. “LEAVEMYTOES! LEAVETHEMALONE!” Vanessa got out really quickly.

“And miss out on winning? I think not!” Gregory replied.

Gregory moved his index and middle fingers to Vanessa’s two big toes in the middle. He started scratching right under there. But Vanessa curled her toes in immediately, squealing and cackling at the same time. So, Gregory moved his fingers to the next best place: the ball of her foot.

Vanessa threw her head back, knocking her hat off her head as she laughed and snorted. “AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA DAHAHAHAMMIHIHIHIT!” She cackled.

“Oooohoho, You swore again! Time for more fingers~” Gregory teased.

“NOHO! NOHOHOT THAHAHAT!” She pleaded.

“Swearing gets you tickles, remember?” Gregory reminded her before tickling the ball of her foot with 8 of his fingers. Vanessa’s screams quickly dominated all the other laughter in the room.

“Goodness gracious! So much cursing, so many tickles! I cannot wait to see how this goes!” Map Bot reacted. “Now, let’s see what’s happening with Monty and Vanny!” Map Bot declared.

Monty had easily managed to pin down Vanny. But Vanny was wiggling around too much for him to keep her pinned so he can actually tickle her. “Whoa- Vanny! It’s just a game! There’snoneedto move so much!” Monty yelled.

“Let me go, you stupid puppet!” Vanny yelled.

Monty chortled. “Says the one made of felt.” Monty joked.

Vanny started to kick him off her. But this only filled the room with banging metal sounds. But to her surprise, Monty wasn’t grunting in pain.

“Ohgod- Gahahaha! Wahahait- wahahahahait!” Monty laughed. She widened her eyes as she realized what she was doing: She was currently tickling his belly with her kicking!

With Monty temporarily distracted, Vanny tried to wiggle her hands free so she could at least get some tickles on him. With a little bit of pulling and wiggling, She finally managed to get her wrists out through his thumbs and skittered both her fingers in Monty’s armpits.

Monty widened his eyes and squeezed his eyes shut as he tried not to close his armpits. As much as he really wanted to, he also didn’t want to crush Vanny’s hands in the process. So he fought every urge in his body and squeezed his fists instead. “VAHAHANNY! Lehehehet mehehehehe gohohohoho!” Monty ordered.

“Nah. Winning is the name of this game. And I never lose.” Vanny told him.

“Thahahat’s nohohot truhuhue. Ihihit’s cahahalled tihihickle teheheheheams.” Monty told her. Ahahand yohou neveheher lohohose?” Nohohot eheheven as a chihihild?!” Monty asked.

“Nope. Never lose. Ever. Always win.” Vanny replied.

“Thahahahat’s ahaha lihihie.” Monty said before skittering one of his hands on Vanny’s middle ribs. “Ihihi knowhow your weheheheaknehehesses.” Monty told her.

Vanny squealed and snorted, removing her hands from his armpits so she could cover up her ribs. “NOHOHohohoho!” She laughed.

“Oooooh! Looks like Ms. Never-lose-always-win is currently losing! Talk about irony!” Map Bot reacted. “Now, let’s see what’s happening with Sun, and Moon!” Map Bot decided.

Sun had wrapped his legs around Moon’s neck and used his body to bring Moon right onto the ground, Black Widow-style. Moon tried to sit himself up, and was immediately pushed back down. “Let me go, Sun! Why can’t we just be brothers about this?” Moon asked.

Sun laughed and wiggled his fingers at him. “What are you talking about? We ARE being brothers about this!” Sun told him before tickling Moon’s neck. “Now coochy coochy coo!” Sun teased.

Moon squeaked and curled his neck, giggling all high-pitched. “EEEEheheheheheheheheee! Ehehehehe! nohohoho!” Moon giggled.

“Now tell me: Which side tickles more?” Sun tickled the right side. “The right side?” Sun moved his right hand to the left side. “Or the left side?” Sun asked next.

Moon squealed and squeaked up a little storm. “EEHEHEHE! Bohohoth!” Moon replied.

“Both?” Sun clarified.

“Yehehehessss!” Moon said back.

“You shouldn’t have said that~” Sun teased as he started tickling both sides of Sun’s neck.

Moon’s giggles went lower to regular laughter. “Ohohohoho geeheheheheheeez! Hahahahaha!” Moon replied. “Nohohot bohohoth sihihides!” Moon reacted.

“Why not? I already know the truth, Moon.” Sun reminded him. “You like this, and I know that.” He added.

“Shuhuhush! Nohoho ohohone neeheheheheeds to knohohow thahahahahat!” Moon reacted.

“Yes they do! HEY MAP BOT!” Sun yelled.

“Yes, Sunny?” Map Bot replied.

“MOON LIKES BEING TICKLED!” Sun declared.

Map Bot widened his eyes and threw his hands in the air. “Moon likes being tickled?! What a surprise! An absolute delight!” Map bot reacted. “Speaking of surprises:” Map Bot made a whistle sound effect with his voice box. “TIME’S UP!” Map Bot declared. “Let’s see who won this round!”

Map Bot rolled up to Freddy and Bonnie. Freddy was on the ground, exhausted, while Bonnie was on his feet with a smirk. “Never mess with a bowling champion.” Bonnie told Freddy. “Cause this striker is a winner.” Bonnie added, looking at Map Bot.

Map bot nodded and noted it on the back of a map. He rolled up to the female animatronics next. Chica was laying on the ground, tired while Roxy was looking up at Map Bot. “I think I win this round. Though Chica was a hard opponent!” Roxy told Map Bot.

Map Bot nodded his head. “Sounds good!” He wrote it on the back of the map as a Fazteam win, before rolling up to Gregory and Vanessa. Gregory was jumping in the air, saying “I WIN! I WIN!” over again.

Map Bot nodded and wrote it down as a Fazteam win, before rolling up to Vanny and Monty. Vanny dropped Monty’s leg like it was a microphone, making it crash loudly onto the ground. “This girl is always a winner. And there’s your proof.” Vanny replied.

Map Bot put it on the back of the map as a Fazteam win, and walked up to Sun and Moon. Sun was smiling proudly as he gave Moon’s neck one more tickle. “Tickling is my forte! Why are you surprised I won?” Sun asked, looking at Map Bot.

“I…didn’t say anything!” Map Bot told him as he marked it down as a Strikers win. Then, Map Bot walked to the front of the room. “Alright. We have a winner!” Map Bot declared. “And the team to win the most is…FREDDY AND THE FAZTEAM!” Map Bot declared.

Freddy, Gregory, Roxanne, Vanny and Moon all cheered with excitement!

“-For this round.” Map Bot added.

Bonnie, Vanessa, Chica, Monty and Sun all gasped in surprise. “Wait, it’s a game out of 3?!” Bonnie asked.

Freddy dropped his jaw. “Are you serious?!” Freddy reacted.

Michael lifted Freddy’s arms up into the air. “Keep those arms there, Freddy.” Michael ordered calmly. 

“Okay, Michael.” Freddy replied. 

“And keep them up, even as we tickle your feet, Freddy!” Gregory declared. 

“Gregory! What happened to surprises?!” Michael asked, half amused, yet partly annoyed.

Gregory laughed. “Surprises are for babies.” Gregory replied. 

“Babies, huh?” Michael responded as he sat on Freddy’s legs. “And what sort of baby am I?” Michael asked. 

Gregory giggled. “Big baby. Tall baby. The babiest of the babies.” Gregory replied. 

“We’ll see about that…” Michael hinted. “We’ve got a challenge for you, Freddy.” Michael told Freddy. 

“Oh? A challenge?” Freddy reacted. “What sort of challenge?” 

Michael smirked. “A tickle challenge.” Michael replied. 

“A tickly tickle challenge!” Gregory declared. 

Freddy widened his eyes and looked away to the right, looking embarrassed. If he had light-up blush on his cheeks, they probably would’ve gone off at that point. “I…” Freddy looked at Michael and Gregory. “I do not know if I am ticklish, Michael.” Freddy told him. 

Gregory guffawed. “Really?! Then why did you look away like a scaredy bear?” Gregory asked. 

Michael looked at the bottoms of Freddy’s feet…and noticed they had dots on them that were slightly darker than Freddy’s feet color. And the darker dots were on the heels, all the way up to the toes. “If you’re not ticklish…” Michael started, before touching Freddy’s heel. “Then what are these?” 

Freddy widened his eyes and jumped as his toes curled in on themselves. “D-Don’t touch those.” Freddy ordered. 

“Why?” Michael asked, turning his head to look at the animatronic. 

“They…” Freddy closed his mouth and looked to the left as he tried to think. “They make me behave in a strange way.” 

Michael chuckled. “That’s called tickling, Freddy.” Michael replied. “And it’s supposed to make you laugh.” 

Freddy hummed. “I see…” Freddy replied. 

Gregory groaned. “Can we get started already?!” Gregory asked. “I can’t wait anymore!” Gregory added. 

Michael chuckled. “Patience, my padawan.” Michael teased. 

Gregory looked at Michael with an ‘are you serious?’ face. “...Did you seriously just reference a movie that’s over 70 years old?” Gregory asked, annoyed. 

Michael chuckled. “You really have no idea who you’re talking to.” Michael mentioned. “Anyway: Let’s get started.” 

Gregory ran to Freddy’s armpits and readied his hands. “Ready!” 

Michael held his hands up at Freddy’s feet and smiled. “Now the rule is: If you lower your arms down, then you get tickles on the feet. If you keep your arms up for 5 minutes straight, then you get a 5 minute break before starting the next round.” Michael explained. 

Freddy nodded. “Ready.” Freddy said. 

Michael smiled and nodded to Gregory. 

Gregory immediately started tickling Freddy’s armpits, going up and down and skittering somewhat wildly. Freddy squeaked and giggled almost right away. “Ohoho dehehear! Thihihis ihihis hahaharder thahan I thohohohought!” Freddy reacted, putting his hands into fists. 

Gregory giggled evilly as he continued to tickle him. Michael had his hands ready for when Freddy would lower his arms down. His plan was to tickle his feet if Freddy lowered his arms down halfway. 

1 minute so far. 

Freddy was slowly losing his composure, and lowering his arms down bit by bit. “Ahahahahahaha! Ihihit’s- Ihit’s hahahard! HAHAHahahaha!” Freddy told him, his arms lowering a little bit more. 

1:29…1:30…1:31…

Gregory quickly snuck a deep poke into Freddy’s armpit…and that made Freddy’s arms completely fall. “GREHEHEGORYHYHYHYHY!” Freddy laughed. 

“Uh oh…tiiiime for the toe tickles~” Michael teased as he held back one of Freddy’s sets of toes. 

Michael started skittering his fingers all over the top sole of Freddy’s foot, and up to the underside of his toes. 

Freddy gasped and covered his snout as strong laughter left his mouth. It was really easy to tell which tickle spot was worse for him. Freddy managed to pull one of his feet out of the way, curling up and hugging his left leg. 

“Don’t pull the other foot away~ Or I’ll get Monty to hold your foot for me.” Michael warned. 

“HOHOHOW LOHOHONG UNTIHIHIHIL YOHOHOU’RE DOHOHONE?!” Freddy asked. 

“3…2…1.” Michael replied before immediately stopping his hands. Gregory giggled into his own hands before readying his hands at Freddy’s arms once again. “Let’s give this another try!” Gregory declared. 

Freddy slowly lifted up his arms again. “Ohokay…” Freddy replied awkwardly. 

Gregory smiled and started tickling a little more gently this time. Freddy let out short spurts of laughter. He wanted to let out full laughing fits, but it just didn’t tickle enough for those long fits to leave his lungs. 

“HAhahaha! Haha- Hehehehe! Hehehe! Oho gohohosh! Ihihi-” Freddy giggled. 

Gregory smiled and stopped for a moment…

Freddy let out a sigh of relief and hung his head. Michael looked confused, and somewhat displeased. “What are you doi-” 

Gregory quickly touched down on the armpits hard this time, causing Freddy to wheeze and lower his arms completely down. “AAAAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha!” Freddy laughed, falling onto his side. 

Michael laughed as well, surprised by Gregory’s strategies that were…kinda cheating. But more time to tickle the feet, I guess! 

“More toe tickles, here I come!” Michael declared as he started tickling under Freddy’s toes. 

Freddy curled in on himself, pulling his feet closer to himself. But Michael’s small hands followed Freddy’s feet to tickle them more. Very quickly, Freddy found he couldn’t pull his feet away any farther. Freddy was truly stuck in a tickly predicament. 

Freddy cackled and laughed with his hands on his stomach. It was just too much for him to handle! “HEHEHEHEHELP! HAHAHAHA! IHIHIHIT’S TOHOHOHO MUHUHUCH!” Freddy begged. 

Gregory chuckled. “Is poor Freddy too ticklish for his own good?” Gregory asked. 

Michael laughed lightly. “It sounds like it, yeah.” Michael replied, still tickling Freddy’s vulnerable feet. 

Being the little curious boy he is, Gregory tried tickling his neck, just to see what would happen. Freddy curled his neck in, just about squishing the poor boy’s fingers! 

Gregory had quickly pulled his fingers out just in time, though. “Thank goodness…Nearly squished my fingers doing that!” Gregory reacted. 

“Doing what?” Michael asked, having not seen what he did. 

“Tickling his neck.” Gregory replied. 

“Yeah…maybe leave the neck tickling to the invincible animatronics.” Michael suggested. 

Gregory nodded as he focused on Freddy’s armpits again. “Alright. Do you need a break? Or can we resume tickling your armpits?” Gregory asked. At around that same time, Michael paused his tickling for a moment to hear Freddy’s reply. 

“Yohohou…you can keep going.” Freddy said, sitting himself up. 

Michael widened his eyes and tilted his head. “Wait, really?” Michael asked. 

Freddy nodded. “This is very fun. I think I like this game, Michael.” Freddy told them. 

“Great!” Gregory declared. 

“Good to know.” Michael replied. 

Gregory started tickling up and down Freddy’s armpits a little bit faster this time. Freddy started snickering and giggling. 

“Tickle tickle tickle~” Gregory teased. 

“Shuhuhush!” Freddy mumbled to Gregory. 

“Nah. Tickling you is fun.” Gregory told him. 

Michael smiled and watched as Freddy tried his absolute best to keep his arms up. But it was telling an unfit person to run a marathon. It’s not impossible, but it takes a lot of practice to get to the point of running a marathon. 

2 minutes…

Freddy slowly lowered his arms…but he raised them up higher in an attempt to last longer. “Ihihihi cahahahan dohoho thihihis.” 

“You can do this.” Michael let him know. 

“You can do it! You can do it! Go Freddy go! Go Freddy go!” Gregory cheered happily as he kept tickling Freddy’s armpits. 

Michael smiled and crossed his arms as he watched. 

It was 3 minutes now. 

Freddy leaned his head back and giggled helplessly. He tried his best to hold his hands up in the air for a little longer, but they were starting to fall…

Gregory decided not to cheat this time. He decided tickling him casually would be better than surprising Freddy out of nowhere, like he did before. 

Michael watched Freddy carefully as he peeked down at his watch: 

3:59…

4:00. 

Michael smiled eagerly. “One more minute…then you get a 5 minute break!” Michael declared. 

“Come on, Freddy! You can do it!” Gregory cheered. 

“Ihihihi’m TRYHYHYING!” Freddy told him. 

“I can tell! And you’re doing amazing. I wouldn’t even be able to reach two minutes!” Michael reacted. 

Freddy was starting to slowly lower his arms down again…

5 MINUTES! 

“YOU REACHED 5 MINUTES!” Michael shouted happily. 

Freddy immediately lowered his arms down to his lap, and laid onto the ground sideways. “Thahahank gohohod…Hehehehehe…” Freddy muttered. 

Gregory squealed and cheered. “YAAAAAY!” Gregory yelled. “NOW FREDDY IS THE SUPERSTAR!” Gregory declared happily. 

Michael laughed. “Amen to that!” 

Freddy smiled and lifted himself up onto his feet. “Alright.” Freddy said. 

Then…Freddy walked up to Michael and picked him up before picking up Gregory next. “My turn to tickle!” Freddy declared as he laid the boys down and skittered his human-like paws all over Michael and Gregory’s bellies. 

“BAAAHAhAHAhaha!” Gregory laughed. 

“PFFTAAHAHAHAhahahaha! Hehehehehey!” Michael laughed. 

“Tickle tickle tickle~” Freddy teased, repeating the same words Gregory said earlier. “NOHOHOHO FAHAHAHAIR!” Gregory laughed. 

“I will take a moment to remind you that I was being more fair in the last 5 seconds…than you were everytime you were tickling me.” Freddy mentioned with an evil smirk. 

“HEHEHehehe hahahas ahahaha pohohohoint.” Michael replied. 

Rose was hiding in the Pizzaplex, eager to win the game of Hide & Seek. She was currently behind the counter of the ice cream parlor within the Bonnie Bowl area. Though the hiding spot was a little bit obvious for Freddy and Gregory, it was still going to surprise them when they eventually find her. 

Rose was waiting for Freddy and Gregory to find her. She was hoping Freddy would tell her on her Bon-watch that ‘I’ve given up. Come on out’. She laid herself down on the ground of the counter and looked at the steel bottom of the ice cream parlor freezer. She could slightly see her face, as well as her midnight indigo hair and her hazel green eyes. 

“FOUND YOU!” Freddy declared, grabbing Rose’s legs and pulling her out from behind the counter.

“EEEK! NO! FREDDY!” Rose yelled. 

Gregory laughed and started poking Rose on the ribs and the belly. “We got you! We got you, we got you, we got you!” Gregory teased.

“Be quiet!” She reacted. 

Freddy giggled and picked up Gregory. “Just because you were found first and I tickled you already, doesn’t mean you get away with this.” Freddy reminded him. 

“What?! But-” 

“No buts! Now come here.” Freddy turned Gregory around so his back was against Freddy’s chest. He placed his arm around Gregory’s stomach and planted his big hand right on Gregory’s belly. With Gregory secure, Freddy picked up Rose and held her in the exact same way. “Reeeady?” Freddy asked. 

Gregory looked at Rose with nervousness. “Uh oh…” 

Rose looked at Gregory with anxiety with a twinge of excitement. “Let’s DO THIS!” she shouted. 

“Okaaay!” Freddy started skittering both his fingers on both kids bellies, and gently dug his nails into their soft, small bellies.  

Gregory bursted out laughing almost immediately. “BAHAhahahahaha! Hehehehehehey!” Gregory laughed. 

Rose squealed and giggled helplessly. “EEEhehehehehehe! Yahahahay!” 

“Yohohohou lihihike thihihis?!” Gregory asked. 

“Yeheheheheah! Ihihit’s fun!” Rose replied. 

Freddy smiled. “Look at you two being so adorable. It’s so nice to see.” Freddy replied. 

Rose kicked her feet and wiggled around in Freddy’s grip. Despite it only being one arm around her, Freddy was still much stronger than she was. Though, she’s only 12. So…

Gregory was wiggling around as well, giggling in both giddiness and pain, since he was unable to get out of Freddy’s arm. Despite trying his hardest, Gregory was just unable to get out. 

Freddy smirked. “Whooo’s ready for raspberries?” Freddy asked. 

“Wahahait, WHAHAT?!” Gregory yelled. 

“YAHAHAY! Brihing ohohon thehehehe tihihicklehes!” Rose replied. 

With both kids expressing their opinions on the idea, Freddy took in a big breath. Then, he shoved his face into Rose’s neck first and blew a big raspberry into her exposed neck. Rose squealed and threw his head back with strong, high-pitched laughter. 

“EEEEEEHEHEHEHEEEE! YAAAAHAHAHAY!” Rose yelled. 

“Ihi dohon’t understahahand you ahat ahahahall.” Gregory admitted. 

Freddy removed his mouth from her neck and shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t understand her either. But I am willing to make her happy.” Freddy replied. “But tell me, Gregory: Are you happy?” 

Gregory chuckled and looked at Freddy. “Hohow ahabout you blohohow thahat rahaspberry ohon my neheheck fihirst?” He told Freddy. 

“Well, okay then!” Freddy replied before shoving his face into his neck. He blew a big, vibrating raspberry meant to make him scream. 

And just like he wanted, Gregory screamed with new-found laughter. “EEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEEEE! NOHOHOHOHOHO!” Gregory cackled. 

Freddy removed his mouth from Gregory’s neck. “Soooo? Are you happy?” 

Gregory tilted his head to the right as he giggled up a storm. Eventually, Gregory nodded his head. “Yeheheheah. Ihihi’m hahahahappy.” Gregory replied. 

“Happy with being tickled? Or happy to be held like a toddler again?” Freddy asked. 

Gregory rested his head against Freddy’s lower shoulder. “Hahappy with bohohoth.” Gregory replied. 

“Good to know!” Freddy replied. 

“Wahahait, yohohohou lihihike ihihihihit tohohoo?” Rose asked. 

Gregory nodded. “Ihihit’s fuhuhun, Ihi guehehehess.” Gregory replied. 

“YAY!” Rose reacted, throwing her hands in the air. 

“Thank you for opening your armpit for me, Rose! Perfect timing to…” Freddy started skittering his index finger directly under Rose’s right armpit. “TICKLE IT!” Freddy declared. 

Rose squealed and wiggled around as she laughed like her whole world depended on it. “HAHAhahahahaha! EEEHEHEhehehehehehe!” Rose laughed, struggling to not lower her arm down. 

How Freddy was able to pick out her ticklish spots so easily, Rose could not understand it. But she started to assume that he had some sort of technical ability that she wasn’t yet aware of. 

Gregory watched Rose eagerly, enjoying seeing his best friend get tickled by someone other than himself. It was funny, actually. He never realized Rose was such good friends with Freddy before now. He always assumed Bonnie was her go-to person, because…that’s who chose to adopt her. Though, maybe it's a mix of both? 

Rose finally lowered her arm down and hung her head with endless laughter. It tickled so much! It was impossible to hold her arm up for even a nanosecond longer. How she was able to keep her arm up for that long, Rose herself had no idea. 

“Ohohokahahahay, gehehet Grehehehegoryhyhyhy!” Rose told Freddy. 

“Does Rosie need a break?” Freddy asked, sounding a lot less teasy and a lot more sincere.

“Yehes plehehehehease!” Rose replied. 

“Okay.” Freddy lowered his index finger down and rested it calmly on Rose’s ribs. “Your break has been granted.” Freddy told her. 

Rose chuckled for a moment when she felt the index finger touch her ribs, but quickly calmed down when she heard Freddy’s relieving words. She was getting a break…Thank goodness. She immediately tried to tell him how thankful she was. “Thahank-” 

“No no no. No need to thank me. If you say you need a break, then you need a break. It is common human knowledge.” Freddy told him. 

“He has a point.” Gregory added. 

“Ihihi knohohow, buhuhut-” 

“No buts. You want break time? You get break time.” Freddy declared. “And if you want tickle time, then you get tickle time.” Freddy added. 

Gregory’s cheeks grew a deep red at Freddy’s last sentence. “.....Oh…” He mumbled, clearly embarrassed. “I…have to ask?” Gregory asked, hoping and praying Freddy would say ‘No’. 

“Yes!” Freddy declared. “And I will only tickle you if you, and only you, ask me kindly.” Freddy replied. 

Gregory groaned and hid his face in his hands. “Nooooooo.” Gregory whined. 

Rose was just laughing at Gregory and pointing at him like she would to an embarrassed little brother. “Gregory is blushing! Gregory is bluuuuushiiing!” Rose teased. 

Gregory growled, uncovering one side of his face before poking Rose’s side in retaliation. “Shut up!” Gregory yelled. 

“Hey! that’s not nice.” Freddy reacted. 

“Whahat ahare you gonna do about it? Tickle me?” Rose teased? “Tickle tickle tickle me?” She started teasing. “Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle me?” She kept repeating the word. 

Gregory whined and covered his ears instead. “You’re EVIL!” Gregory yelled. 

“Evil like a tickle monster?” Rose teased. “Evil like the tickle monster that’s gonna getcha?” Rose teased next. 

“FREDDY HELP ME!” Gregory yelled. 

Freddy shook his head. “Not gonna happen. You insulted Rose. So I am not going to help you.” Freddy decided. 

“HA! Take THAT!” Rose declared, poking Gregory’s belly. 

“BAHAAA! You take THIS!” Gregory poked Rose on her belly right back. 

“Kids, please-” Freddy tried to say. 

But Rose’s squealing laughter interrupted him. “EEEHEHE! Nuh uh! YOU take it!” Rose yelled back, poking Gregory right on his belly button. 

“eEEHEHEHAHAHA!” Gregory laughed for a little longer this time. “You so much as raise your finger, and I will DESTROY YOU!” Gregory shouted. 

Freddy frowned. “And I think it’s time to separate you two.” Freddy told them. “What?!” Rose reacted. “Why?” 

Freddy pointed to Rose. “You are being childish.” Freddy told her. 

“So? I am a child.” Rose muttered. 

Freddy pointed to Gregroy. “And you are threatening Rose.” 

Gregory raised his eyebrows. “I still love her, Freddy. We’re siblings. That’s how siblings fight.” Gregory told him. 

Freddy raised an eyebrow. “I don’t believe that.” Freddy replied. “Siblings are supposed to be kind to each other and stick up for each other when things are unfair.” Freddy told them. 

“Do you want us to show you that we’re good siblings?” Rose asked, looking at Gregory. Gregory tilted his head and mouthed the words ‘how?’ to her. 

Rose smiled and winked at him before starting her speech. “So, we have done all you wanted. We have played hide and seek with you, we have allowed you to be it, and we allowed you to tickle us.” Rose told him. 

“Yes! The game has been very fun.” Freddy added. 

“Don’t you think the game is a bit…one-sided?” Rose asked, looking at Gregory again. 

Gregory widened his eyes and nodded his head as the gears started to click into place. “Yeah! You’re right! This HAS been a one-sided game!” 

Rose smirked and crossed her arms as she looked at Freddy. “So how do you think we should-”

“TICKLE ATTACK!” Gregory shouted, interrupting Rose’s words and jumping onto Freddy. 

Rose’s smirk dropped as she was interrupted. She slowly stared at Gregory as he wrapped himself around Freddy’s leg, and started blowing raspberries onto the back of Freddy’s left knee. Freddy gasped and grew a HUGE smile on his face. Not long after, laughter started to erupt from his voice box! “GAHAhahahaha! Gre-Grehehehegoryhyhyhy! WAHAhahaha! WAHAhahahait!” Freddy reacted. 

“Come on, Rose! Join me!” Gregory yelled. 

Rose sighed and smiled, shaking her head in pure amusement. She slowly walked up to Freddy and started tickling his orange belly door flaps. Freddy guffawed right away, and doubled over  with more laughter as he squeezed his eyes tightly shut. “Kihihihids! PLEHEHEHEASE!” Freddy yelled. “IHIHI’M GONNA FAHAHAALL!” Freddy warned. 

“That’s your challenge! Try to stay on your feet while we tickle you!” Gregory declared. 

“IHIHIT’S DANGEROHOHOUS!” Freddy tried to tell them. 

“We’ll be careful! We promise!” Rose replied. 

“We got this under control!” Gregory declared. “Now laugh!” 

“IHIHI DOHOHON’T HAHAVE THIHIHIS UNDER COHOHONTROHOHOHOL!” Freddy told them, feeling himself lose his balance bit by bit. 

“When we see you starting to fall backwards, we’ll let go and let you fall. Okay?” Gregory told him. 

“Yeah! And when you get up onto your feet again, there won’t even be a scratch on us.” Rose declared. 

Aaaaand then Freddy started tipping right over…Much faster than they anticipated. 

“AAH-!” Gregory pulled Rose out of the way and sprinted a good 3 feet away from Freddy. 

CRAAAASH!!

Rose and Gregory felt as their whole bodies were thrown onto the ground from the shaking floor. Rose landed on her side, while Gregory landed on his back. Shaken up, the kids stayed on the ground. But slowly, the two kids sat themselves up and looked at Freddy. 

Rose groaned and felt her ringing head as she looked in the general direction of Freddy. But she could see enough of Freddy’s outline to realize he was laying on the ground, not moving an inch.

Uh oh…

“Is he-” Rose started to say. 

Gregory had widened his eyes and gotten onto his feet by this point. “FREDDY!” Gregory shouted, running to his side. “Freddy, I am SO SORRY!” Gregory pleaded. 

Freddy turned his head to look at Gregory. “I…I’m…” Freddy started to say, reaching his hand out and grabbing Gregory’s shoulder. Gregory could feel the anxiety and the tears welling up inside him. Gregory already knew Freddy was not going to make it…

…But any indication of a facade went right out the window the moment Freddy pulled Gregory into his arms, and started skittering all 8 of his digits on Gregory’s belly. 

Gregory’s eyes practically bulged out of his head as laughter and wiggles took over every part of his human body. “WHAHAHAHAHAT?! YOHOHOHOU LIHIHIED TO MEHEHEHE?!” Gregory reacted. 

Freddy smirked. “I have been programmed with the ability to play fake deaths on the children. All the animatronics have been programmed with this ability.” Freddy told him. 

Rose was gobsmacked. That evil little…

…And that was the very moment Rose discovered Freddy’s ticklish feet. Freddy was fine, Gregory and Rose were fine, all was pretty much fine in the end. 

Well, besides Gregory…who STILL can’t figure out how a person can ask for tickles…That will probably never change. For now, Rose will be the good sister she is, and ask on behalf of Gregory. Though whether this counts or not in Freddy’s eyes…

It often depends on the day.

Roxy was sitting outside of the entrance of the Pizzaplex, looking at the beautiful stars with Gregory. It was a clear sky tonight with no clouds, meaning the stars were visible and bright. It was incredible to see, especially to Roxy who is almost never out of the Pizzaplex. 

“I’ve always heard stories of the stars, but I’ve never actually…seen them before.” Roxy told Gregory. 

“Really? You’ve never looked out the window to see the stars before?” Gregory asked. 

“No…There aren’t any windows big enough to show me the whole sky…not like this.” Roxy replied. 

Gregory smiled and rested the back of his head against Roxy’s chest. “It’s really pretty.” Gregory told her. 

“I can see that now.” Roxanne reacted. 

Gregory looked at the different stars, and noticed how some of the stars were brighter than the others. Though Gregory has seen the stars hundreds of times before, seeing Roxy react to the stars for the first time made this moment extra special. It made him appreciate the stars even more. 

Gregory looked down at Roxy’s hand, and wrapped his own hand around her hand. He spent some time holding her hand and rubbing his thumb on the smooth metal. He spent some time studying the top of Roxy’s hand. 

Her hand was so detailed. It had joints and nails, and different colors for the middle versus the fingers. The palm was a lighter gray, while her fingers were white and curved like one of those old Apple mouses. The nails were a lime green, that greatly contrasted compared to the white and gray hand. They looked like something a city girl would get. And to his surprise, they were not sharp. They were curved as well, so her nails don’t cut a child in the process. It was so intricate…So detailed. 

“See something you like, kid?” Roxy asked. 

Gregory nodded. “I do.” Gregory replied. “I like your nails. They’re really pretty.” Gregory told her. 

“Thank you. I like them too. My toes have green nails as well.” Roxy added. 

Gregory smiled. “I know that.” 

Roxy looked back up at the stars while Gregory observed the palm of the hand. Her palm didn’t have any lines on it like he had. But she did have a slightly curved, vertical line surrounding the thumb joint and ending between the index and middle finger. Though Gregory and Roxy’s hands had one clear difference: Roxy didn’t have a pinky finger. She had only 3 fingers and a thumb, while Gregory had 4 fingers and a thumb. 

“If you have only 3 fingers and a thumb, then how do you play the keyboard?” Gregory asked. 

Roxy chuckled. “Well, you only need 3 fingers to make a chord, don’t you?” Roxy asked. 

“I don’t know. I’ve never played piano.” Gregory admitted. 

Roxy smiled and picked up her keyboard guitar from beside her. She placed it down on Gregory’s lap like a regular keyboard, and placed her hand on 3 lower piano keys. “This is a chord.” Roxy told him. “Three piano keys together, will usually make a pretty tune. The left hand is what plays the chords. And the chords are the background tunes for the melody, which is what the right hand plays.” Roxy explained. 

Gregory nodded and placed his own hand on top of Roxy’s fingers, replicating her fingers. But because Gregory had 4 fingers, he had to improvise. Gregory placed his index finger on her index finger, his pinky finger on her third finger, and his middle and ring finger together on her middle finger. Lastly, he placed his thumb on Roxy’s thumb. 

Roxy placed her right hand on the keyboard, and started playing one of the scales. She started off with playing A G and F, before moving her left hand to play the first chord: an E major. E, G# and B. With her right hand, she played F, G, A, A#, C, D, E, F…then, she played it backwards: E, D, C, A#, A, G, F. 

“Whoa…You know that without looking at a book?!” Gregory reacted. 

“For humans, it takes years of practice to get good at remembering scales.” Roxy told him. “But for an animatronic like me, it just takes a few minutes to process the coding.” Roxy admitted. “But I do know this:” Roxy looked at Gregory with a smile. “The person who wrote the coding, had to also know music theory in order to know what they were doing.” 

Gregory smiled brightly at her. “Do you know other scales?” Gregory asked. “Or other chords?” 

Roxy nodded. “Yes to both. I know all 48 musical scales. I also know the 12 major chords, and the 12 minor chords.” Roxy told him. “Though I can’t play all of the chords or scales here. A normal piano or keyboard has 88 chords, while my keyboard has only 36 keys.” Roxy added. 

“Your keyboard only has 36 keys?” Gregory clarified. 

“That’s right.” Roxy replied. “36 keys in all. 36-49 keys is typical for a keytar.” Roxy added. 

“Keytar…is that what this is called?” Gregory asked. 

“Yes. This is called a Keytar.” Roxy replied. “A KEY-board Gui-TAR.” Roxy sounded it out. 

“Interesting…” Gregory replied. 

Gregory picked up the surprisingly light keytar, and placed it down onto the ground beside him. Gregory then grabbed Roxy’s left hand, and decided to study it next. 

“This hand is identical to my right hand. So…I don’t know why you want to see the other one.” Roxy told him. “I know…Just curious.” Gregory replied. 

Roxy felt as Gregory continued to examine her hand. The touch was starting to make her tired a little bit. She was starting to realize how…surprisingly relaxing getting examined can be. SHe began to remember some of the parents' conversations about massages and how it was supposed to help their aching muscles and help them relax for a while. Is this what a massage is supposed to feel like? Just…soft? And calming? And- “EEEEP!” 

Roxy could’ve easily jumped about 5 feet into the air! What was THAT?! Roxanne covered her snout as she recognized the squealing voice to be her own. 

“Whoa! I’m sorry! Did I hurt you? Did I tickle you? What happened?” Gregory asked, looking up at her with slight worry, but mostly curiosity. 

Roxy looked at Gregory out of the corner of her eyes, and looked down. “Uhhh…” She removed her hand from her snout. “No…you didn’t hurt me.” Roxy replied. 

Gregory looked down. “Oh…Then, did I tickle you?” Gregory asked next. 

Roxy stuttered. “I-What?! Uh-no! No way! Why would that…ya know…” Roxy struggled to say the word.

“...Tickle?” Gregory repeated. 

“Yeah, that.” Roxy replied, pointing to him. 

“If it didn’t tickle, then why are you stuttering?” Gregory asked. “And why can’t you say the word ‘Tickle’?” Gregory asked next. 

Roxy groaned and covered her face. “Shuuuuush…” 

“Why? Are you bluuuuushing?” Gregory asked with a smirk. “Blushing like a girl who blushes?” Gregory teased. 

Roxy grabbed Gregory’s sides and started tickling him. “I can say tickle quite well, thank you. Now shut up, and laugh like your life depends on it.” Roxy ordered. 

Gregory quickly gripped the outside of her hands as he threw his head back in uncontrollable laughter. “HEHEHEHEHEY! WAHAHAIT, NOHOHOHO! IHIHIHI’M SOHOHORRYHYHYHY!” Gregory told her. 

“Awww, poor Gregory. So ticklish! And nowhere to go.” She teased. “How will he ever get free?” She asked next. 

“IHIHI KNOHOW YOHOHOU’RE BLUHUHUSHING RIHIHIGHT NOHOHOW!” Gregory told him. 

“Am not! Since when does a girl like me blush?!” Roxy asked. 

“YOHOHOU HAHAVE TICKLIHIHISH PAHAHALMS!” Gregory argued. 

“So? It looks like you’re more ticklish than me. And all I’m doing is squeezing!” Roxy reminded him. 

“AHAHAHAM NOHOHOHOT!” Gregory yelled. 

“Are too!” Roxy then let go of Gregory and grabbed his palm. “Now let’s see if you’re ticklish on your palm.” Roxy decided. 

“I’m not ticklish there. Why would I be ticklish there?” Gregory asked. 

Ready to know the answer, Roxy started skittering her nail on Gregory’s palm. And Roxy dropped her jaw in surprise when he heard it: 

“Pfft…Pffft-” 

Gregory was holding his laughter in! “Well would you look at that, Mr. I’m-Not-Ticklish-There?” Roxy teased. 

“Pfffft-Hehehehehe! Ihihihi- Ihihi-” Gregory reacted. 

“You didn’t know? Is that what you’re about to say?” Roxy teased. 

“Ihihi dihihidn’t knohohohow! Ihihi swehehehear!” Gregory admitted. 

Roxy chuckled. “Are you lying to me?” Roxy asked. 

“Ihihihi-” Gregory tried to say. 

“Are you really lying to your mother?” Roxy teased with a smirk on her face. 

“Ihihi’m nohohot!” Gregory told her. 

Roxy sighed and shook her head, before skittering her 3 fingers all over Gregory’s palm. 

“eeEEEEHEHEhehehehehe!” Gregory giggled. “Ohohohokahahay, mahahaybe Ihi dihihid.” Gregory finally admitted. 

Roxy nodded and removed her tickling hand. “I knew it. I knew it the whole time. Now do you know what happens to liars?” Roxy asked. 

“Ihihi…Yeah…I do.” Gregory replied. 

“What happens?” Roxy asked, smirking before she wiggled her fingers. “This is your hint. What happens?” Roxy asked again. 

“Ihihi gehet tickled?” Gregory replied. 

Roxy nodded and started tickling his belly and sides right away. “Bingo! Now laugh it up, little liar!” Roxy declared. 

Gregory doubled over and bursted out cackling right away. Roxy tickled and scratched at his belly first, before scribbling up to his ribs, and up to the armpits. “Try to keep your arms up!” Roxy encouraged as she scritched in his armpits. 

Gregory squealed and shook his head back and forth as laughter completely took over. He was trying so hard to keep his arms up, but already he could feel them slipping down very slowly. 

“Oooooh! You’re struggling!” Roxy teased. “Would you like some help?” She asked next. 

Gregory giggled and nodded his head. “Yehess plehehehehease.” he replied. 

“Alright. But remember that you agreed to this.” Roxy reminded him as she grabbed Gregory’s right arm, held it up into the air, and started tickling his right armpit. 

Gregory threw his head back and cackled in big bursts all over again. “WAHAHAHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAIT- THAHAHAT’S NOHOT WHAHAT IHI MEHEHEANT!” Gregory protested. 

“I know.” Roxy replied. “Are you gonna call me a cheater next?” Roxy asked. 

“CHEHEHEHEATEHERRR!” Gregory shouted. 

Roxy guffawed. “I KNEW you would say that!” she reacted, proud of herself. 

Gregory was tickled for only a few more minutes until Roxy deemed it time to stop. She removed her fingers from his armpit, lowered Gregory’s hand down, and picked up Gregory like a mother would pick up her child. “What do you say we head inside and warm you up?” Roxy asked. 

“Yeah…maybe.” Gregory replied, shivering as a gust of wind blew by him. “But how can I be this cold if I was just tickled?” Gregory asked. 

“Sometimes the chill of the night is too cold for the body to regulate. So, the body gets overwhelmed with cold.” Roxy explained. “And even though tickling burns the same amount of calories as a swift half-mile walk, it may not have been enough to regulate your body heat.” Roxy added. 

Gregory nodded and rested his chin on Roxy’s shoulder. “Okay.” 

Roxy took Gregory into the pizzaplex and felt as though the slight warmth of the pizzaplex covered Gregory like a blanket…Then Gregory looked down and realized that there was actually a fuzzy blanket wrapped around him. It was a dark blue blanket with white stars on it, suggesting it was the Daycare Attendant’s blanket. Specifically, Moon’s blanket. 

“Gregory looks sleepy.” Another familiar female voice said. 

“Yeah…You’re right, Chica. it’s going to be bedtime for him soon.” Roxy told her. 

“That makes sense. Humans need to sleep. Especially growing kids.” Chica added. “What do you say we set him up on your purple couch?” Chica asked. 

Roxy smiled. “That sounds like a great idea.” She told her. 

“Okay. I’ll grab that Freddy Fazbear pillow pet and bring it to your room.” Chica told her. 

Roxy nodded and rubbed Gregory’s back as she started to walk to her own room. She opened the door to her room, walked up to her purple couch and placed Gregory onto the couch. She wrapped the blanket around him a little bit better, and watched as Gregory hummed sleepily. Chica walked into the room with the unfolded pillow pet, and placed the pillow pet under Gregory’s head. Gregory was growing more and more sleepy by the second. And he didn’t mind. Not at all. 

Roxy gave Gregory a little kiss on his forehead, and moved his bangs behind his ear. “Good night, Gregory.” She said softly. 

Gregory smiled and opened his eyes. He lifted himself up and planted a kiss right on her black nose. “Good night, Mom.” Gregory replied. 

Roxy smiled brightly and cooed upon hearing him call her ‘Mom’. It was so sweet she could’ve easily bursted! What did she do to deserve this kid?! She truly had no idea. 

A few seconds later, Roxy finally got up onto her feet and walked to the door. She turned off the lights in her room, and gave him one last sincere look as she closed the door as quietly as she could. And to the left of the door, Roxy sat herself down and kept guard. With the boy now considering her a mother, she now felt the need to protect that role ーand that boyー with every ounce of her being. 

Gregory was hiding from Moon. He was terrified of moon. Freddy noticed this fearful reaction on Gregory’s face. Freddy walked up to Gregory and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Hey kid…”

Gregory looked at him. “Please don’t tell him where I am…” Gregory begged.

“Why not? He’s harmless.” He told him.

“Harmless? He’s terrifying.” Gregory told him. “He creeps me out.”

“I know…” Freddy told him. “But I assure you, he’s not as dangerous as he makes himself out to be.”

Soon, Sun came hopping over. “Hello new friend!” He greeted. “Shhhh!” Gregory ordered as quietly as he could. He did NOT wanna get caught.

“What’s the matter?”

Freddy looked at Sun. “Gregory’s scared of your brother.”

“Moon?” He reacted.

Freddy nodded back.

Sun hummed in confusion. “He’s not scary though. He’s just protective.”

Gregory shuddered. “No thank you.”

Sun picked up Gregory. “Come here, new friend! I’ll show you that moon isn’t that scary.” He declared.

Gregory gasped and reached out for anything to grab. “NONONO!” He begged. “Come on! You’re just overreacting!” Sun told him. “He’s a good guy! Right Moon?” He asked the moon. Moon rubbed his hands together and bounced on the spot. “You found the boy!”

“Hey Moon!” Sun greeted. Moon gave Sun a big hug. “Hi Sun!”

“You’re harmless, aren’t you?” Sun asked.

Well, of course I am!” Moon replied. Gregory was too scared to even speak or look at him. “Little Gregory is fearful of you.” Freddy said, walking up to them.

“Fearful? Of me?” Moon reacted. “I’m afraid so.” Freddy replied. “Oh…” moon looked at Gregory, who was looking away from him. “Hey Gregory.”

Gregory kept looking away.

“What can I do to make you less scared of me?” Moon asked. Gregory looked down and ignored him.

“Hm…” Moon muttered.

Sun lit up. “I know what would help!” Sun declared. “Hey Gregory!”

Gregory slowly looked at Sun with confusion.

“Are you ticklish by any chance?” Sun asked.

Gregory widened his eyes and stared at him, slightly nervous. “N-No. Why?” Gregory lied.

“Oh really?” Sun teased. “You’re not ticklish…on your sides?” He started tickling Gregory’s sides. “Nohoho- Stopit!” Gregory ordered. “Come on, new friend! I know you’re ticklish somewhere~” Sun teased.

“Am not!” Gregory argued. Moon watched curiously as Sun started tickling his belly and ribs next. “Who’s my bright little ray of sunshine? You are! You are!” Sun started teasing. Gregory covered his mouth and wiggled around helplessly as he was tickled in one of his most ticklish spots. He was not gonna break. He was not gonna break. He was not gonna break-

“How about these armpits?” Moon asked as he moved his fingers into Gregory’s armpits.

Gregory let out a muffled squeak as he leaned himself back. “MMMMHMHMHMHM!” Gregory laughed all muffled.

“Ooooh! I think we’re breaking him!” Sun told his brother.

“Yeah! We’re making him laugh!” Moon told him. “Just wait till you hear his unmuffled laughter! You’ll love it!” Sun told him. Gregory widened his eyes and screeched as his armpits were further dug into. Gregory finally threw his hands away from his mouth and exploded with laughter. “NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!” Gregory yelled. Moon gasped and covered his mouth. “It’s SO CUTE!” Moon reacted.

“I know, right?!” Sun reacted. “THIHIHIHIS IHIHISN’T FAHAHAHAHAIR!” Gregory argued.

“You know you can easily tickle us back, right?” Sun told Gregory.

“Yeah! Go for Sun’s belly! He’s got a really squeaky laugh!” Moon teased.

“Why you-” Sun stopped tickling, gave Gregory to Freddy and started tickling Moon. “I’ll show you!”

“AAAHahahahahaha! Nohohohoho! Gehehehet thehehe kihihihid, nahahahat mehehehe!” Moon begged.

“Why shouldn’t I tickle my brother?” Sun teased. “You haven’t been tickled in a while, actually!” Sun added. “Ihihihi’ll gehehehet yohohohou fohohohor thihihis!” Moon fought.

“I know you will. That’s part of the fun and games!” Sun reacted. Gregory was watching all this play out in front of him. “You know…” Gregory started. Freddy turned to him. “Hm?”

“Being tickled by moon wasn’t really that bad actually…” Gregory admitted. “Moon isn’t as scary when he’s got weaknesses like tickling.” Gregory admitted further.

“Well: I’ll be darned!” Freddy reacted. “Moon is growing on you!” Freddy reacted further.

“Yeheah, I guess he is.” Gregory replied. “Do you wanna join their tickle fight?” Freddy asked.

Gregory nodded and allowed Freddy to put him down. Gregory ran up to the Sun and moon, and started tickling moon too. “WAHAHAHAHAIT! NAHAHAHAT YOHOHOHOU TOHOHOHOHO!” Moon yelled. “YES me too!” Gregory replied. “I wanted to join the tickle fight!”

“And join, you may!” Sun declared. Gregory giggled at the backwards grammar.

It didn’t take long for Gregory to catch Sun off guard with tickles. “Coochy coochy coo!” Gregory teased. “Wahahahait, whahahahahat?!” Sun giggled. “EEEHEHEHEHEHEHE!” The sun started to let out squeaky laughter.

“Ooooh! Taking my advice, I see!” Moon reacted. “You bet!” Gregory replied. “Go for the neck too! That’s a really good spot too!” Moon encouraged.

“BEHEHEHE QUIHIHIET!” Sun ordered.

“Why don’t you help out?” Gregory asked. “Ehh, fine. What the heck.” Moon walked up and started tickling the back of Sun’s neck. “How’s this for revenge?” Moon teased. “MEHEHEHEANIHIHIHIE!” Sun shot out.

“Meanie? Me?! Never!” Moon joked. Gregory laughed at that. “Why would we EVER be meanies?” Gregory joked. “Exactly!” Moon reacted.

“LIHIHIARS! YOHOHOU’RE AHAHHALL LIHIHIHIARS!” Sun fought. “I think the proper word for it is…Sarcasm.” Gregory corrected.

“Ooooh! Listen to the little genius over here!” Moon reacted. Gregory giggled again. Soon, the sun was given the gracious freedom from tickles, and Gregory was tickled all over again. “Gitchy gitchy goo, kiddo!” Sun teased. “I guess you could say I’m the tickle moonster!” Moon joked.

(Joke suggested by an anonymous user)

Sun laughed at the pun, while Gregory verbally groaned. Freddy was doing everything in his power not to laugh at the pun and Gregory’s reaction to it.

Gregory laughed and giggled through all the tickles. “GEHEHEHET FREHEHEHEDDYYHYHY!” Gregory encouraged. “Ooooh! Not a bad idea, actually!” Sun reacted. “Not a bad idea at all.” Moon said as well. Both Sun and Moon looked up at Freddy, who looked like he would be sweating if he had sweat glands. Freddy put his hands up in surrender and slowly started to back away. “Get back here!” Sun yelled. “You’re not getting out of this alive!” Moon declared. Freddy took off running the other way, but was quickly caught and dragged back to the daycare. “Nice try, teddy bear.” Sun teased. “Now you get to be tickled by all three of us!” Moon declared. “Let’s get started!” Gregory declared. “W-Wahahait! Plehehease!” Freddy begged.

“Sorry buddy! You’re ours now!” Sun declared. And that’s how Freddy got roped into this whole mess. Freddy was tickled by 3 evil tickle moonsters, and was left breathless from them.

“Now THAT’S how you win a tickle fight!” Sun declared. “Thank you Sun!” Gregory said, hugging Sun. “And thank you Moon!” Gregory said as he hugged Moon as well. “I’m not scared of you anymore!”

Sun was an interesting character, to say the least. He loved everything astronomy-related, and loved to be in the ball pit. The ballpit was like a majestic place for kids, and animatronics alike! It was a bigtime favorite for a lot of children. The daycare kids couldn't get enough of the ballpit!

“Hooo hooo hooo!” The sun jumped into the ball pit, making multiple balls fling up like water. “Helloooo! New friend! You're sure up late! Are we having a slumber party? Where are all your friends?” The daycare attendant asked.

Gregory yelped as the sun animatronic jumped and held onto his arms like he was on monkey bars. “We can finger paint, tell stories, drink Fizzy Faz until our heads ex-PLODE and stay up all night!” The animatronic shouted.

Gregory tried to move through the ballpit, but screeched as the sun animatronic grabbed him again.

“There is only one rule: keep the lights on. ON! On.” He added.

Gregory struggled to get him off. He was pushing his middle and sides in an attempt to get the animatronic off of him.

“WhoOA! What are you doing?” The sun asked.

“Get off me!” Gregory ordered.

“But why? I wanna play!” The animatronic jumped around the ball pit and climbed into his shoulders.

“Help!” Gregory begged Freddy.

“The Daycare attendant doesn’t need much to have fun.” Freddy told him.

“What does- *grunt* that- *grunt* mean?” He asked through grunts and pushing.

“He’s ticklish! Just tickle him for a few minutes!”

“COME ON, KID! Play with me!” The sun animatronic interrupted, shaking the kid’s shoulders with inpatience.

“You wanna play?” Gregory asked with an annoyed tone. “Alright.” He grabbed the head of the sun, flipped the animatronic over his head and started tickling him experimentally. “Let’s play.”

“BAAhahahaha! NOHO! NOTTHESIDES, NOTTHESIDES!” he suddenly sprung into action.

“Aha! So you ARE ticklish!” Gregory reacted. “Good to know.”

“Now how did-” He quickly bursted out into more laughter as the upper buttons on his shirt were pushed. “EEEEhehehehehe! Knohohohock ihihihit ohohohoff!”

“Now why in the world would they make you ticklish?” Gregory asked.

“Well, Sun is part of the daycare centre! And daycare children love tickling! So he was given ticklish spots on him!” Freddy explained. “Even his moon self has the same ticklish spots!”

Gregory smirked as he started to actually have some fun himself. “Good to know.”

“Ooooh! Ahaha secret?” Sun asked.

Gregory laid the daycare attendant down and started blowing raspberries onto his stomach region.

“NOHOHOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“PHBBBBFBFBFBFBFBFBFFFBBBF!”

“EEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEhEHEhehehehehehehe!”

“PHBBBFBFBBBFBFBFBFFFBBFBFBFB!”

“AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

Gregory just kept on raspberrying him as he tickled his armpits with his little fingers.

“EEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHA! KAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOHOHOU’RE GOHOHOHOOD AT THIHIHIS!” He told him through his laughter.

“Thanks!” Gregory replied with an evil little giggle.

Gregory moved onto his neck, to see if that was ticklish. “How about your neck?” He asked.

“Oh NO!” He quickly covered up his neck. “No neck tickles! NO NECK TICKLES!” He pleaded.

But Gregory was not gonna let up so easily. He jumped onto Sun’s back, and started tickling the back of his neck with his fingers.

“EEEHehehehehehehe! Nuhuhuhuhuhuhu!” He laughed.

“Looks like I hit the jackpot of giggles!” Gregory teased as he blew a raspberry onto his neck.

“EEEEEEHEHehehehehehe!” He laughed, curling up his shoulders to try and cover up the spot.

“Oooh! New spot!” Gregory tickled his shoulder blades next. “How’s this spot?”

Sun hopped around the ball pit and giggled like his life depended on it. “Sohohohoho tihihihicklihihish! Ihihihi’m gohohohonna dihihihie!” He giggled.

Gregory moved to the lower spot, and sat on his legs. “Now I wanna check out the feet!” He eagerly dove into the feet, and skittered quick.

“EEEEEK! BAHAHAHAhahahahaha! KAhahahahahahahaha!” He laughed, rolling around on the ground.

“I’ve gotcha!” Gregory teased.

“Now Gregory, let’s not get too hasty!” Freddy warned.

“What do you mean?” Gregory asked, pausing for a moment.

“I mean-” Freddy was interrupted by a loud “Hooo hooo hooo!” from the sun.

“Time to PLAY!” The sun took that pause moment to grab Gregory and tickle him under the armpits.

“EEEHEHEHEHEHE! HEHEHEHEY!” Gregory laughed loudly.

“Wow! What a laugh!” He reacted. “Just listen to that laugh! It’s glorious!” He reacted.

“IHIHIS NOHOHOT!” Gregory yelled at him.

“Is too!” The sun replied.

Gregory spread his arms and was about to move them behind him. But the sun’s fingers dug deeper into Gregory’s armpits, making him clamp down and laugh all over again.

“HAHAHAHAhahahahahaha! Suhuhuhun! Cohohohome ohohohon!” He laughed.

“‘Come on’ what? ‘Come on’ I can handle more? Okay!” The sun declared.

Uh oh…

Gregory squealed and cackled as his belly button was tickled by the sun’s fingers. But this time, the fingers were vibrating! And that made the tickling a whole lot worse for the boy!

“NOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHA! EEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!”

“Need some help, Gregory?” Freddy asked.

All Freddy could hear was laughing, laughing, and more laughing. Gregory was rolling around, laughing his heart out. “STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!” Gregory begged.

“Come oooon! I’m barely touching you!” The sun teased. Then, the animatronic started tickling the air in front of the child, making the child giggle and laugh involuntarily. “Look! Even the air’s tickling you!” He teased.

It was now that Gregory reached his arms back and started tickling the sun right back. “Take that!” He shouted.

“OHOhohoho nohohoho!” He giggled, hugging himself as his sides were tickled once again.

“Kitchy kitchy koo!” Gregory teased.

“EHEHEHEHEHEEEE! NOHOHoho teheheheasihihing! Ihihihit tihihihicklehehes!” He laughed.

“Fine! A tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle!” Gregory teased once more.

“AHAHAHAahahAHAHAHAHA! IHIHIHIT’S sohohohoho mehehehean!” The sun told him.

“Mean?! I’ll show you mean!” Gregory lifted up his arm and started tickling his open, exposed armpit.

“BAAHAHAHAHAHA! HAhahahahahahaha!” The sun laughed. “Ehehehehevihihihil!” He name-called.

“Now now now, you should know better, Mr. Sun!” Gregory told him.

“Yohohohou’re rihihihight…” The sun replied. “Nahahame calling ihihihis ruhuhuhude.” He told him.

“That’s right! And I think you earned yourself some raspberries for that.” Gregory told him.

“AAAH! Not the raspberries! Not the raspberries! PLEASE!” The sun protested desperately.

But Gregory was determined to get him squealing beyond his control! So, Gregory tickled his sides while blowing raspberries on his belly again.

“PHBFBFBFFFBBBBFBBFBBFBFB!”

“NYAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!”

“PHFBFBFBFBBBFBBFBFBBFBBFBFB!”

“BAHAHAHAHAHahahahahah! AhahaHAHahAHHHAHAhahHAH!”

PHHHFHFBFBFBFBFBBBFBBFBBFFFBBFBFB!”

“THAHAHAHAHAHAT’S TOHOHOHOHO MUHUHUHUHUCH! YOHOHOHOU’RE KIHIHILLIHIHIHING MEHEHEHEHE!”

Gregory stopped tickling and let go of him. The sun animatronic stayed laying on the ground, holding his legs close to his chest. “Ohohohokahahahay, yohohou wihihihin.” He told him.

Gregory smiled as his accomplishment.

“Well done, Gregory! Now for our next mission.” Freddy told him.

Gregory climbed out of the ball pit and walked to the exit. “On my way, Freddy.” Gregory told him through the watch.

On the way out, gregory turned off the lights.

“No- no! Why would you do that? Lights on! Lights on! I warned you- I WARNED YOU!”

“Rule-breaker! Rule-breaker! You are banned from the Daycare! Security alert! Security alert!”

But no one responded to him…he was all alone.

“Awww…I didn’t mean it…please come back.”

Roxanne was smiling from ear to ear as she tickled the little boy. Gregory was laughing and cackling all over the place. He was no longer wiggling around, which should’ve been Roxy’s first sign to stop. But nope, Roxy had chosen to go further and further beyond. She was tickling in 2 spots at once: The belly button and the armpit. Those two spots were Gregory’s worst spots by far! 

The next sign to stop showed up when Gregory’s laughter was beginning to die down slightly. But Roxy had ignored that sign as well, and just kept on tickling the boy. 

But Roxy widened her eyes the moment Gregory fell silent. The female animatronic turned Gregory around, and widened her eyes when she saw Gregory’s eyes closed. Oh no…Did she overdo it?! 

Almost immediately, a couple big shadows covered Roxy’s body. Roxy turned around slowly, and gasped upon seeing Freddy, Monty, and Chica standing there, looking angry. “Did you overdo it again?” Freddy asked. 

Roxy gulped and put Gregory down. “It was an accident! I didn’t mean to!” She told them. 

“Monty?” Freddy called. 

“Way ahead of you.” Monty replied, already in front of Roxy. Monty picked up Roxy under the arms, and threw the animatronic over his shoulder. “You’re coming with us.” Monty declared.

Monty carried Roxanne all the way to the cylindrical room to be ‘upgraded’. Monty placed Roxy onto the chair, while Chica and Freddy hooked her arms up to the arm rests. Chica and Freddy then hooked up her feet to the bottom of the arm chair, and smirked as they looked at Roxy, visibly vulnerable. 

“What…What are you gonna do?” Roxy asked, growing nervous. 

“Chica?” Freddy called. 

Chica took her place behind the chair, and near her open armpits. “Ready!” 

“And Monty?” Freddy called. 

Monty readied himself in front of the arm chair, placing his claws inches away from the bottom of Roxy’s feet. “Ready.” He replied. “And Freddy?” Monty called.

Freddy took his place facing Roxy, his claws up and ready to go. “Ready~” He replied, wiggling his fingers. 

Roxy widened her eyes to the eyes of saucers the moment everything clicked in her head. 

“TICKLE!” All 3 animatronics shouted at the same time. 

And at the same time, all three of the animatronics started skittering their claws all over their ticklish spots of choice. For Chica, it was the armpits. For Freddy, it was the belly. And for Monty, it was the feet. 

Roxy squealed and shrieked as she was tickled by 6 separate hands at once. “AAAAAAH! NAHAHAHAHAHA! Nohohohoho!” She laughed, quickly beginning to wiggle around in the armchair. 

“Ooooh! There’s the first burst of laughter!” Monty reacted. 

“And soon will come the apologies!” Chica added. 

“IHIHIHIHI’M SAHAHARRYYYYY!” Roxy shouted. 

“Looks like those apologies came early, Chica.” Freddy mentioned. 

“Looks like it.” Chica replied. 

Roxy was throwing her head back and forth, pulling on the restraints as much as possible. But nothing was budging! Not even a little bit! “HEHEHELP! HELP! PLEHEHEASE!” Roxy shouted. 

“Help?! She already wants help?!” Freddy reacted. 

“Cluck, we just started!” Chica reacted. 

Monty was chuckling evilly. “Little does she realize how long we are gonna be going for…” Monty hinted. 

Freddy chuckled. “Very true.” 

Roxy widened her eyes in fear. WHAT?! How long were they planning on going for?! 

Monty moved his hands up to her toes. “How ticklish are these toes of yours, Roxy?” Monty asked. 

Roxy squealed again and shook her head as she laughed. “NAHAHAT THEHE TOHOHOES! NAHAHAT THEHEHERE!” Roxy yelled. 

“Ooooh! Looks like I’m going to tickle the toes a little longer.” Monty declared. 

Meanwhile, Chica was tickling Roxy’s armpits and totally taking advantage of how vulnerable Roxy was. 

“IHIHI CAHAHAN’T COHOHOVER UP MY AHAHARMPIHIHIHITS!” Roxy complained. 

“Awww, the poor glam star can’t cover up her armpits? The poor little chicky!” Chica teased. 

Roxy kept clenching and unclenching her fists as she laughed and giggled. “THIHIHIS IHIHIS TOHOHOHOO MUHUHUCH!” Roxy told them. 

“You should have thought of that before you tickled Gregory until he passed out.” Freddy told him. 

Roxy growled amidst her laughter. “IHIHI APOHOLOGIZED! WHAHAT EHEHELSE DO I HAHAHAVE TOHO DOHOHOHO?!” Roxy asked. 

“Oh that’s easy!” Chica reacted. 

“Laugh, laugh, laugh!” All three of the animatronic lers declared to her. 

Roxy pulled on her feet desperately to get out. But nothing was budging. She pulled on her arm restraints as much as she possibly could…but just like the last time, nothing was budging. 

Then…it was as if sense had finally fallen into the other animatronic’s brains. They finally stopped tickling her. 

Roxy was breathing heavily as she looked around herself. Her middle was letting out some smoke a little bit. This was a sign that she was a little bit overloaded. 

“Let’s let her body get balanced again. Then, we can continue.” Freddy decided. 

Chica and Monty both nodded their heads. “Okay!” 

Freddy smiled as he looked at his helpers. “While we wait, let’s get Gregory!” Freddy decided. 

Chica and Monty got up and started to walk out of the cylinder. Freddy left after them, stopping for a moment to look at Roxy. “We’ll be right back. We promise!” Freddy told her with a wink, before fully leaving. 

Roxy widened her eyes in horror. She knew exactly what was gonna come later…

Freddy, Monty and Chica soon made it to the spot Gregory was laying. But to their surprise, Gregory was awake! “Freddy?” He called, seeing his shadow. 

“Gregory! Superstar! I am so glad to see you!” Freddy told him, hugging him. 

Gregory smiled and hugged him back. “It’s good to see you too, Freddy.” He replied. Gregory let go of Freddy, and looked around. “Where did Roxanne go?” Gregory asked. 

“Roxy’s in the repair cylinder!” Chica told him. 

“We are fixing her up real good.” Monty told him next. 

Gregory raised an eyebrow. “Repairing her real good? How?” Gregory asked. “I thought the repair cylinder repairs you guys by itself.” Gregory admitted. 

“It does…” Freddy started. 

Monty smirked. “We are using the cylinder to tickle her.” Monty replied. 

“Tickle her?!” Gregory reacted. “Really?! Can I join?” Gregory asked. 

“Of course you can!” Freddy replied. “We wanted to ask you as well!” Freddy added. 

Gregory climbed into Freddy’s belly. With Gregory all secure, the three animatronics were off! They ran back to the repair cylinder in a matter of minutes. “Hey Roxy! We’re back!” Freddy declared. 

“And we brought a familiar friend!” Chica added. 

Roxy turned to Freddy, looking nervous. “Who did-” Roxy paused her words the moment Freddy’s stomach opened…

and out came Gregory! “Hi Roxanne!” Gregory greeted. 

“Gregory! You’re okay!” Roxy reacted. “I mean…Are you okay?” She asked. 

“I’m fine. I’m ready for tickling too!” Gregory declared, wiggling his fingers. 

Roxy squeaked and gulped. “Not…Not you too!” She muttered. 

Gregory giggled evilly. “Yes, me too.” He said with an evil grin.

Gregory climbed onto Roxy and started skittering his fingers on Roxy’s belly and sides. 

Roxy squealed and giggled almost right away. Thankfully, this was not the worst spot to tickle on Roxy. Monty had already found the worst spot. 

Freddy ran up to Roxy’s neck and started tickling both sides. Chica ran back behind the chair to tickle Roxy’s armpits again, while Monty ran up to Roxy’s feet to tickle those too. Roxy bursted out laughing right away and threw her head back, cackling loudly.

“Tickle tickle tickle, Roxy! Who’s gotta a ticklish belly? Who’s got a ticklish belly?” Gregory teased in his little kid voice. 

“I think I know who it is, Gregory.” Freddy piped up. 

“Yeah? Who is it?” Gregory asked. 

“ROXANNE!” Freddy yelled proudly. 

Gregory laughed. “Ding ding ding! That’s correct!” Gregory replied. 

Then, as if they were all able to talk to each other in their heads…

Gregory, Freddy and Monty stopped tickling. They let Chica tickle Roxy’s armpits for a total of 10 minutes, at least. 

“You want to know what rhymes with armpit?” Chica asked. 

“Nohohoho, Ihihihi dohohon’t knohohohow!” Roxy replied. 

“Tool kit!” Chica replied. “And boy, do we have the perfect clucking tool kit for you!” Chica declared. 

Freddy picked up a drill, put the cordless battery into it, and started pulling the trigger a couple times to make the drill spin. “This is going to be fun!” Freddy declared. 

Roxy gasped in complete HORROR. “No! NOT THAT!” She pleaded. 

Freddy smirked as Gregory piped up. “And where are you gonna put that, Freddy?” Gregory asked. 

Freddy took a moment to lift up Gregory’s belly, to figure out something. This made Gregory super nervous for a few seconds. But when Freddy put his shirt down, Gregory breathed a sigh of relief. 

Next, Freddy placed the end of the drill onto Roxy’s belly, right where the belly button should’ve been. This simple placement made Roxy squeak. “Uh oh…UH OH! PLEASE NO! I’M GONNA MALFUNCTION!” Roxy pleaded. 

Freddy looked at Roxy. “Just from a few tickles to the belly button region?” Freddy asked. 

“YES!” Roxy yelled back. “It’s my worst spot!” Roxy told him. 

“Worst spot?!” Monty piped up. “I thought your toes were the worst spot?!” Monty reacted. 

“Well…They are, but…” Roxy closed her mouth and looked down in embarrassment. 

Everything went silent for just a moment or two. 

Then, Gregory raised his voice. “Sounds like Roxy has multiple worst spots!” 

Chica widened her eyes and stood up onto her two feet. “You can have that?!” Chica asked. 

Gregory nodded. “Yeah! My worst spot is my belly button too! And my armpits.” Gregory told them. 

Roxy looked away upon hearing the last part. That fully explained why Gregory passed out on her. She was tickling in both his worst spots…

“Now: Freddy?” Gregory called. 

“Way ahead of you, superstar!” Freddy declared. Freddy pulled the trigger on the drill, and watched as it spun on Roxy’s ‘belly button’. 

Roxy SCREAMED and bursted out cackling right away! She pulled and moved around as much as she could to get the darn drill away from her belly button region! But the constant moving only tickled her even more! But if she tried to fight her urge to move and just stay still, she would be dying! 

Talk about an endless cycle!

Soon, Chica and Monty joined in on the tickling one by one: Chica first, then Monty. Since Monty knew better than to tickle two worst spots at once (Look at what happened to Gregory!), he decided to move towards Roxy’s heels instead. This seemed to help Roxy keep her sanity as she laughed. 

Chica was moving down to Roxy’s lower armpits, more towards the upper rib region. This seemed to help her out a tiny, tiny bit. 

But nothing was going to change her cackly laughter…especially since her belly button was being involved! Freddy was just drilling and drilling and drilling! No remorse! No mercy! All mercy seemed to go out the window! 

The only one being merciful at this point, was Gregory, who wasn’t tickling her at all! He was just sitting on her, watching her every move. 

“PLEHEHEHEHEASE! IHIHI’M SOHOHOHORRY, GREHEHEGORYYY!” Roxy told her bystander. 

Gregory shrugged his shoulders. “I already forgave you the moment I saw you.” Gregory replied. 

Freddy stopped the drill and turned to face Gregory. “You did?” Freddy asked. 

“Already?” Chica asked, stopping her fingers. 

“Still doesn’t change the fact that you passed out.” Monty responded, continuing to tickle her heels. 

“Yeah! I did. I’m fine, so why would I stay mad at her?” Gregory asked. 

Monty sighed and slowly stopped his fingers. “Fine…You have a point.”

“And since I’ve forgiven her, I think you should too. And you can start by letting her go.” Gregory added.  

“Okay.” Freddy replied. 

Freddy put the drill away and started undoing the restraints on the armchair. Chica got up onto her feet and opened the cylinder door. Monty undid the leg restraints. With Roxy completely free, Freddy let her sit against the armchair and let her inner engines balance themselves out. 

Gregory hugged Roxy tightly. 

“Uh…Why are you hugging me?” Roxy asked. 

“Because you deserve a hug for being tickled for so long. I can’t even imagine how long the others tickled you for.” Gregory replied. 

Monty chuckled. “It wasn’t that long.” He reassured Gregory. 

“Well, it felt like forever.” Roxy added.

Gregory laughed. “It does feel like forever when you’re being tickled.” Gregory admitted. 

Monty sighed. “I’m sorry, Roxy.” Monty said. 

“I sm sorry too, Roxanne.” Chica said. 

“I am too, Roxy.” Freddy replied. 

“And I am sorry for making Gregory pass out.” Roxy added. 

“And I’m sorry for telling Freddy all your worst tickle spots, Roxanne.” Gregory said. 

Roxy widened her eyes and looked at Gregory. “I’m sorry, what?” 

Freddy looked away. “Gregory may or may not have pointed to your worst spot a couple seconds before I grabbed the drill…” Freddy told her. 

Roxy climbed out of the armchair. The moment Roxy even moved, Gregory was off sprinting away. The moment she was out, Roxy took off running after Gregory. “GET BACK HERE YOU SNITCH!” Roxy shouted. 

“I REGRET NOTHING!” Gregory shouted over his shoulder. 

Everyone else bursted out laughing upon seeing this. Gregory would end up being tickled all over again by Roxy. But this time, Roxy would keep an eye out on any signs for her to stop. This would prevent her from getting tickled all over again in the cylinder. 

…And it would prevent Gregory from passing out.
