Note that only Tala belongs to me.

Tala and Gregory reached the Lobby just as the intercom came on with another announcement.

"Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex is now closed. Initiating nighttime protocols."

"No, no!" Gregory cried, racing towards the exit. "I'm still here!"

Gregory arrived at the exit just as the gate shut down completely. He was too late.

"Now what am I supposed to do?" he whispered sadly.

By then, Tala had caught up with Gregory. She placed a hand on his head and said sympathetically, "I'm sorry you missed your chance, Gregory, but you will be able to get out again once the security doors open at 6:00 AM. But of course, if there is another way out of the Pizzaplex, Freddy and I will help you find it."

"We sure will," Freddy chimed in through the Fazwatch. Until then, keep moving and try not to draw attention to yourself."

"Can't I at least rest a bit?" Gregory asked, leaning against Tala. "I'm kinda tired..."

"Well, it is past the time a kid like you is supposed to sleep, but I think we can stay here for about half an hour before we need to get moving," Tala agreed.

"Whew, thanks," Gregory said, relieved.

"Here, you can sleep on my tail," Tala said, sitting down by the entrance. "It can act as a pillow."

Gregory settled down happily and cuddled up on Tala's tail. Tala placed a hand on his head and started to sing...

"Just close your eyes,

The Sun is going down.

You'll be alright,

No one can hurt you now.

Come morning light,

You and I will be safe and sound.

...

Dear heart, dear soul, dear memories,

Please remember me.

Made of light, fill the sky,

I'm flying free...

With her writing on the walls of the sky,

There are thousands of reasons why.

And they tangled in her glow like a line,

And her heart knew it was time,

Knew it was time..."

Before he fell asleep though, Gregory thought he heard something in Tala's tone, something that sounded like longing...
