Take A Map!
Map Bot won't leave Gregory alone. Even though Gregory keeps showing the Map Bot his own map, the Map Bot keeps telling him to take another map. Soon, Gregory loses it. But his recklessness will end up triggering a strange glitch in the Map Bot.

“Free map.” Gregory heard behind him.
Gregory just about jumped out of his skin. “HOLY-” Gregory looked behind him and let out a breath. “Geez…” Gregory placed his hand on his chest as he looked at the bot. “You scared me.”
“Hi! Please take this map.” The map bot said, holding out a map.
“Thanks.” Gregory said, taking a map. He pulled it out and looked at the map, before putting it into his pocket.
A while later, Gregory was walking up to the Fazbear Theater.
“Take a map.” The map bot said behind him. Gregory looked behind him and raised an eyebrow. He pulled out his map, showing him. “I have one already.” Gregory told him.
“Thank you. Please enjoy.” The map bot said, before rolling away with the extra map still in its hand.
Gregory couldn’t help but chuckle as it left.
Later, Gregory was in the Kids Cove, looking at the chest filled with money. Over on the left, was a boat surrounded by octopus tentacles.
“Free map.” Something said behind him.
Gregory jumped and sighed, hunching over. He turned around. “I have one, Map Bot.” Gregory told him.
“Free map.” Map Bot said, holding out a map.
Gregory pulled out his map and opened it up to show Map Bot what the map looked like. “See?” Gregory said.
“Thank you. Please enjoy.” Map Bot said before rolling away.
Gregory frowned slightly and turned back around, holding his map in his hand as he walked to the lighthouse. He decided to keep his map in his hand for the next time the Map Bot would ask him about the map.
And sure enough, the Map Bot came up behind Gregory as he was looking at the prize counter. “Free map-”
Gregory showed the Map Bot his map. “Got it.”
“Thank you. Please enjoy.” It started walking away.
Later, the Map Bot came up to Gregory while he was in front of the ice cream parlor in Bonnie Bowl.
“Free map.” It said, holding up a map.
Gregory completely opened the map in front of his camera eyes. “Thank you. Please enjoy.” The Map Bot said before rolling away.
And as if the map bot couldn’t be any more annoying, Gregory was even visited by the Map Bot while he was in the bathroom stall. Though the Map Bot had enough politeness to knock before waiting for Gregory to open the door. But when Gregory opened the door after flushing the toilet, the Map Bot held out a map. “Take a map.”
Gregory slammed his own map into the Map Bot’s face. “I HAVE ONE.” Gregory yelled. “THIS IS THE 6TH TIME IN THE LAST 2 HOURS!” Gregory yelled. “THAT’S ONCE EVERY 20 MINUTES!” Gregory shouted.
“Take a map.” The map bot said.
“No.” Gregory said as he lowered the map down from its face.
“Please take this map.” The Map Bot said.
“No!” Gregory replied, waving the map right in the bot’s face.
“Please take a map.” Map Bot repeated. “I TOOK ONE.” Gregory replied.
The Map Bot held out the map. “Take a map.” The Map Bot said.
Gregory groaned and took the map from its hand. “There. Happy?”
The Map Bot put its hand behind its back, and presented him another map. “Free map.” The Map Bot said.
Gregory growled and took the map, before slapping the map bot with the map.
The Map Bot pulled out another map from its back, and held it out. “Take a map.”
“YOU’RE BROKEN!” Gregory pushed the Map Bot down to the ground, and watched as it tipped over and hit the ground rather lightly. But to Gregory’s surprise, the Map Bot started glitching. Its wheels started spinning and stopping, spinning and stopping. The hands started moving and stopping repeatedly with tense, rigid movements. Sparks started flying from the Map Bot’s head, as its eyes started spinning around like it was confused or dizzy. It even started making noises that sounded similar to the error notification noises from the old Windows™ cubed computers.
“WARNING. MEMORY MALFUNCTION. PLEASE RESTART.” The Map Bot yelled.
Gregory widened his eyes and bit his lip. Uh oh…did he just break the map bot?
“WARNING WAR-WARNING. ERROR. ERROR. VISITOR DID NOT TAKE MAP.” The Map Bot declared.
Gregory widened his eyes and started to panic. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry-” He took the map. “Here! Look, I took the map!” Gregory showed it to him. “Look! I have 3 maps! Look!” Gregory took the fourth map. “I now have four maps!” Gregory reacted.
“ERROR>>> ERROR>>> TOO>> MANY>> MAPS>>” The Map Bot yelled.
Gregory yelped and dropped the maps. “OH NO-”
“<<THIEVERY>>!!<<LITTERING>>!!<<VISITOR MUST BE PUNISHED>>” The Map Bot suddenly rose itself up to its wheels, almost like a person rising up from the dead. Gregory gasped and covered his mouth with horror. He REALLY messed up this time.
Gregory quickly tried to sprint past the Map Bot to escape, but the Map Bot grabbed Gregory’s arm and stopped him in his tracks. “><LITTERING>THIEF>CAUGHT><” The Map Bot declared as its eyes widened to the size of tiny voids. “><INITIATING>DISCIPLINARY>PROCEDURE><”
Gregory screeched and tried to shake his arm to get the Map Bot’s hand off. But that didn’t work. Gregory quickly tried to remove the Map Bot’s hand with his other fingers. But then the Map Bot grabbed his other arm. “LET ME GO! I’M SORRY!”
“>>>CHILD<<DETECTED>>>INITIATING DISCIPLINARY ACTION FOR [MALE ADOLESCENT CHILD]>>>” The Map Bot declared.
Gregory felt as the Map Bot pulled him into a big, tight hug and started adjusting its grip on the boy. Gregory’s back was against the Map Bot’s chest, while Map Bot’s arms were wrapped completely around him. The Map Bot managed to wrap around the front of Gregory’s shoulders, before crossing over and grabbing Gregory’s sides.
“WHAT IS THIS!?” Gregory yelled. “FREDDY!” Gregory shouted.
“Gregory? What is the matter? You sound scared.” Freddy asked.
Gregory squeaked and moved around, struggling to get out of Map Bot’s grip. But his struggles were growing weaker and weaker, thanks to the distraction of Map Bot’s hand placement. Every so often, the robot hands would start squeezing Gregory’s sides, catching him off guard and causing him to either yelp or titter. He could feel a small smile growing on his face…and he could feel his smile getting wider and wider as the hands started squeezing faster and faster.
“H-HEHELP-” Gregory yelled.
“I am trying to find you, Gregory.” Freddy said over the Fazwatch. “I can see your general location. But I will need your help to locate your specific position.” Freddy told him.
Then, the Map Bot started bending its hands against Gregory’s sides, and started almost scratching and gently clawing at the boy’s vulnerable sides. “>>KITCHY KITCHY KOO<<” The Map Bot said.
“WAHAHAIT- STAHAHAhahahahap!” Gregory finally bursted out.
“>>WARNING<<PLEASE DO NOT WIGGLE TOO MUCH<<THIS WILL ONLY WORSEN YOUR DISCIPLINARY SENTENCE>>” The Map Bot told him.
“Map Bot. Let Gregory go.” Freddy ordered through the Fazwatch.
“>>REQUEST DENIED<<” The Map Bot declared.
“Hehehehe’s brohohokehehEHEHEN!” Gregory tried to tell him. “WAHAHAIT NOHOHO NAHAHAT THEHEHEHERE!” Gregory felt as the Map Bot went up to his really ticklish ribs.
“Broken?” Freddy asked. “Is that what I heard?” Freddy clarified.
“YEHEHEAH!” Gregory replied.
“I wonder if Monty did something to the Map Bot…” Freddy suggested.
“IHIHI DOHOHON’T KNOHOHOW! PLEHEhehease hehehelp!” Gregory begged as the Map Bot moved its hands down to Gregory’s belly and sides again.
“><TELL ME, [GREGORY]: DO YOU REGRET STEALING THE PIZZAPLEX MAPS?><” The Map Bot asked.
Gregory was still giggling and laughing helplessly. “Yehehehesss! Ihihi dohohoho!” Gregory replied.
“>>APOLOGIES, I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND YOU. PLEASE SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY TO PROCEED.<<” The Map Bot told him.
Gregory verbally groaned as he tried to think of how to talk without the laughter.
“Yehehehes! YEHES!” Gregory yelled.
“>>APOLOGIE-<<”
“YES! YEHEhehehes! IHihihi dohoho!” Gregory finally managed to get out.
“<<GOOD. CONFESSIONS ARE A PART OF LIFE, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY.>>” The Map Bot said as the tickles lessened a little bit. “<<NEXT QUESTION: WILL YOU CONSIDER STEALING A MAP AGAIN?>>” The Map Bot asked next.
Gregory shook his head. “Nohoho. Noho. Ihihi wohon’t.” Gregory told him.
“>>APOLOGIES, IT APPEARS I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND YOU. PLEASE SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY TO PROCEED.<<” The Map Bot repeated.
Geez…even in the 2030’s, no one could make a robot that could understand jumbled sentences.
“Nohoho- NO! Noho, Ihihi wohon’t. Ihi won’t dohoho ihihit agahahain.” Gregory replied as best he could.
“<<GOOD. WE BELIEVE STRONGLY IN LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES, AND NEVER REPEATING MISTAKES. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMISE, AND WE WILL HOLD YOU TO IT.>>” The Map Bot replied.
“I am in the Fazcade, and I took a moment to say hi to DJ Music Man. He appears to be doing well.” Freddy said through the Fazwatch.
“Ihihi’m stihihill hehehere!” Gregory told him.
“...I’m sorry? I can’t understand you very well.” Freddy told him. “Ihi’m still hehe-Here.” Gregory said.
“Okay. Where are you?”
“Ihihin the-”
“<<LAST QUESTION:>>” The Map Bot suddenly declared, cutting Gregory off.
“Ohoho nohoho.” Gregory mumbled.
“>>DO YOU LIKE BEING TICKLED?<<” The Map Bot asked next.
Gregory widened his eyes and looked at Map Bot with shock. Did…Did Map Bot really ask that?
“>>PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN I WILL CONTINUE TO TICKLE YOU UNTIL YOU TELL US THE TRUTH.<<” The Map Bot declared.
“Ihihihi- Ihihi dohohon’t knohohohow.” Gregory replied, growing a little bit red out of embarrassment.
>>APOLOGIES, IT WOULD APPEAR I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND YOU. PLEASE SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY TO PROCEED.<< The Map Bot declared.
Gregory tried to think of what to answer. He wanted to give him an answer that would still be true, but wouldn’t reveal the full truth. There had to be a way to do that…right?
“Ihihihi-”
BANG! BOOM! “LET HIM GO!” Freddy shouted as he removed Gregory from the Map Bot’s grip, picked up the Map Bot, crushed its middle with a loud CRUNCH.
“WARNING. WARn - iN- G! !- g-...” The Map Bot slowly started to shut down and power off. Freddy dropped the S.T.A.F.F Bot onto the ground.
CRASH!
Then, Freddy knelt down to Gregory with worry written all over his face. “Are you okay, Gregory?” Freddy asked.
Gregory was holding his sides, quietly breathing. Thankfully, the most recent bout of tickling wasn’t too bad. It was more than tolerable, actually. So, Gregory looked up at Freddy with a small smile. “Ihi…I’m okay.” He replied.
Freddy let out a breath of relief. “Thank goodness.” He reacted. “When I made it to the Fazcade, I began to hear your laughter. Though it was quiet, it was still loud enough to locate your position.” Freddy told him.
“Ihi…I appreciate it.” Gregory admitted.
Freddy smiled and picked up Gregory, before holding the boy like a toddler on his hip. “Let’s leave this room.” Freddy told him.
Gregory nodded and watched as Freddy walked out of the door and into the Fazcade again. With Gregory now safe, Freddy picked up the boy under his arms, and placed him on his neck and shoulders. “Is that better?” Freddy asked.
“Yeah! So much better.” Gregory replied.
“That is great to hear, superstar!” Freddy declared.
Gregory smiled a bit more. “And Map Bot was right.” Gregory added.
Freddy looked up at Gregory with confusion. “Map Bot? Right? Right about what?” Freddy asked.
“He was right that I like being tickled.” Gregory told him.
Freddy slowly smiled. “You enjoy being poked and scratched while wiggling around with fits of laughter?” Freddy asked.
Gregory giggled and threw his hands in the air. “YES.” Gregory responded proudly.
Freddy nodded and started to walk. “Very well. I will keep this in mind.” Freddy said.
“Wait!” Gregory reacted, grabbing Freddy’s forehead. Freddy stopped and looked up to Gregory. “Can you put me down? I forgot something.” Gregory asked.
Freddy complied and put the boy down. Gregory sprinted back to the bathroom, and let the door close behind him. A couple seconds later, Gregory came out of the bathroom and back to Freddy with something in his hands. “I forgot my map.” Gregory admitted before pointing to it. “This was the reason the whole mess with Map Bot started in the first place.” Gregory admitted as he was picked up by Freddy again. “I see. Well, I am glad you will know how to find your way around.” Freddy replied as he placed the boy onto his shoulders again as he started to walk.
