Twilight uses her Sorbetion Key Card to access the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza from the Castle of Friendship! “Wow! I didn’t know that these things could do that!”, I exclaim. At the other end, I hear a voice saying, “Where is she?”. 

“It’s Flutter!”, Twilight says. She then flies over. 

“Hey! You know you could have just walked, right?”, I complain. 

“Sorry, Ethan!”, Twilight says. I finally get a first glimpse of Flutter. She looks like Fluttershy, but with different color eyes; one blue-green and one yellow, with a horn instead of wings, and... she’s wearing a diaper, which I don’t really care about. She must have some sort of medical problem. I haven’t felt like this about someone since... since... Melinda. She catches me smiling. 

“Hey! Twilight, you didn’t tell me you were bringing a friend! Hey, you! Don’t you dare make fun of me!”, Flutter says. 

“Make fun of you? Why would I do that?”, I ask her. This seems to take her completely by suprise.

“But... look at my eyes! Look at what I’m WEARING, for heaven’s sakes!”, Flutter gapes at me. 

“So you’re wearing a diaper. Pshaw, big deal! I don’t enjoy bullying, or teasing for that matter. My bro, Ben, is the same way.”, I say. Big tears well up in her eyes. 

“Thank you!! I really like you, Ethan.”, Flutter says. I see Dipper come up. 

“Dude, guess what?”, Dipper tells me. 

“What?”, I ask. 

“Starlight actually asked me out on a date!!”, Dipper excitedly says. 

“Hey, what’s that?”, Flutter asks, pointing to the music box. 

“I made that for my friend, Melinda...”, my voice breaks. “

She must have been really important to you. What happened to her?”, Flutter asks. 

“She was my girlfriend... an animatronic cat... she got incinerated.”, I tear up. 

“Ethan, I think it’s time that you let go of the past.”, Dipper says. I nod my head, summon my Redstone Pickaxe, and shatter the music box. All of a sudden, music starts to play, ‘Pop goes the Weasel’. I see a shadow. 

“There’s something behind us, isn’t there?”, I ask Dipper. He nods his head. We turn around. 

“AAAH! An emo guy!!”, Dipper yells. The animatronic slaps Dipper in the face. 

“Child, DO NOT call me emo. Now, who broke my music box?”, the animatronic asks. Dipper points to me. 

“Thank you, young man! That music box kept me imprisoned for decades! Oh, but where are my manners, ohohoho! I haven’t even introduced myself! I am the one they call the Puppet! But you can call me Mari, short for Marionnette!”, the Puppet says. 

“Great! In 6 hours, Derpy’s birthday will start! Now all we need to do is sit back and relax…”, I say. 

“A birthday, you say? I’ll bring lots of gifts to the wonderful children!”, Mari says.
