Plot[]
GGY[]
Tony is in his creative writing class, disappointed that the teacher is giving out another fiction writing assignment for homework. Being more interested in non-fiction, Tony wanted to become an investigative reporter when he grew up and solve mysteries, believing that honing on non-fiction writing would help him. Tony's two friends. who are referred to by their pen names, Boots and Rab (short for Puss in Boots and Dr. Rabbit) were Tony's partners. Boots and Rab decide to go to the Pizzaplex to play in the Fazcade since the assignment isn't due for another two weeks. Tony reluctantly tags along.
After playing a few arcade games, Tony got bored and walked around. He thought back to when his dad was sent to jail under accusations of embezzling money. His dad had made him promise not to look into it. Tony had to do paid chores for other people to help get by. Tony wanted to become an investigative reporter so that help solve other people's mysteries.
Tony noticed two girls playing pinball, noticing the highest score on the game was 50 million. This score belonged to the player who went under the initials "GGY". Tony walked around, noticing GGY on the #1 spot of several of the games. Feeling excited, Tony wanted to find GGY and solve the mystery of how this person was able to get such high scores. Tony returned to the two girls, named Kenzie and Crystal, playing pinball and asked them if they knew who GGY is. While they didn't have any leads, they pointed him to a guy named Axel Brandon Campbell; another high scorer they knew. Boots and Rab find Tony before he can search for Axel, and the three leave the Fazcade to have pizza.
Two days later, Tony returned to the Pizzaplex alone. He finds Axel based on the girls' description of him, but he has no real answers for him. Tony asks an employee, but he has no leads either, assuming GGY had stolen a security badge and played the games when the Pizzaplex was closed. As Tony started theorizing on GGY's method of getting high scores, he stumbled into Glamrock Freddy, who just blankly stared at him. Unsettled, Tony leaves the Fazcade for the day. Back at home, Tony goes online and asks about GGY in various forums, and a user named Morrigan99 offered to DM him to discuss.
The next day, Tony returned to the Pizzaplex. He decided to try getting access to an employee's card and looking for GGY in the Pizzaplex's database. Tony pretends to fall over, and when an employee comes to help him, he steals her pass. He snuck into one of the kiosks and found GGY in the database. GGY had a Play Pass which allowed him to play the games for free, but the pass itself was hacked and converted into a security badge, allowing him to get other people in the Pizzaplex as well. One name Tony could make out was Mary, and while he couldn't get a look at the other two names listed, their initials were RAE and TRE. As Tony left the kiosk, he noticed Glamrock Freddy running towards him. Tony evades Freddy and leaves the Pizzaplex before he's caught.
Back home, Tony gets a message from Morrigan99. He relays the information he found out. Morrigan is impressed that a kid could get away with what he did. She reveals that she knows who Tony is and tells him to meet him at the bleachers in his high school. Tony arrives, seeing Morrigan in a black hoodie. She takes her hood off, revealing herself to be Crystal. Crystal reveals that she's a hacker, and she had been looking into the code of the glamrocks, discovering traces of Gs and Ys. Whoever GGY was, they wanted to take control of the animatronics. Crystal warns Tony that GGY is dangerous, and to stop looking for them.
Tony initially drops the mystery, especially since Glamrock Freddy would be seen watching him anytime he was in the Pizzaplex. He also took the GGY mystery and turned it into a story for his assignment. But one day, as Tony was watching TV, the local news mentioned the family of Mary Schneider, a missing counselor, was making another appeal to law enforcement. He remembered seeing the name Mary in the Pizzaplex database, wondering if it was the same Mary who disappeared. Tony decided to break into school and look through the records for more clues.
Tony used the librarian's computer and looked through the files for the counselors. Mary had been replaced by someone named Raelynn Lawrence, but she had also gone missing a month later. Raelynn was replaced by Treena Welch, and she disappeared seven weeks afterwards. Tony remembered the initials he saw in the database: RAE and TRE. Tony believed that the counselors all caught onto whatever GGY was doing at the Pizzaplex, and he bought them there to dispose of them.
The next day, Tony was unsure of what to do with the information he learned. He discovered that Rab and Boots had rewritten his story while he was away. Suddenly, he is called to the principal's office. His break in had been caught on camera, and he was given detention. Tony knew for sure he wasn't on camera, realizing someone had snitched. Afterwards, Rab and Boots came by. Tony decided he was done calling them by nicknames and addressed them by their actual ones; Boots' real name was Ellis, and Rab's was Greg. As Ellis left, Greg offered to bring Tony to the Pizzaplex after his detention, wanting him to meet some people. But after everything he found out, Tony was unsure.
The Storyteller[]
A group of Fazbear Executives are having a meeting. Mr. Burrows, the head of the company, wants to downsize the creative development team due to budget cuts. Another executive named Edwin opposes this position, believing that human creativity is what drives Fazbear Entertainment. The plea is ignored, as the idea of automated storytelling is brought up. The group decides to go through with the downsizing and create an artificial intelligence named The Storyteller to generate future ideas, placing within the Pizzaplex once it's fully built.
The Storyteller was set to be a baobab tree in the center of the building and its fiber-optic roots would serve as a network connected to the Pizzaplex's venues. The various animatronics would be given its instructions from the Storyteller, with the main controller of the network being inside the tree trunk. Edwin wanted to know what that controller would be, but Mr. Burrows denied him entry. Curious, Edwin stayed after hours and watched from Monty's Gator Golf to see what was being put inside the trunk: the animatronic head of a white tiger.
Edwin panicked when he saw the tiger's head, having seen it before. It reminded him of an incident from his past he was constantly haunted by. He had flashbacks to the sounds of screaming and the sight of blood. Terrified, Edwin left the scene, unaware that security had spotted him and notified Mr. Burrows. Edwin had confronted him the next day about how the Storyteller was programmed, and Mr. Burrows explained that The Storyteller rearranged parts of various stories into new scenarios, which would then be used for arcade games and VR/AR attractions.
Months later, The Storyteller was completed and began its effect on the Pizzaplex's attractions and animatronics. Roxanne Wolf started bullying customers. Glamrock Chica (who was yellow and had her own Mr. Cupcake for some reason), was also getting snarkier. Montgomery Gator went back and forth between angry rampages and depressing isolation. Glamrock Freddy also acted aggressive and sulky. They also started malfunctioning, switching voices and shutting down abruptly. Even the facility itself was affected with doors randomly locking and unlocking. Mr. Burrows dismissed Edwin's concerns in these sudden changes.
Edwin continues his investigation, going to a Fazbear-owned warehouse and looking through the archives for clues about The Storyteller's programming. He finds the file for The Storyteller, which has a sketch of the tree and ways to get in. Edwin returns to the Pizzaplex and follows the instructions, activating a catwalk that went towards the tree. Edwin makes his way to the top of the tree and finds an open panel. He drops down, coming face to face with the tiger's head. The white tiger's eyes were colored green and blue, and its mouth was open exposing his silver teeth. It was mounted onto the tree's interior, connected to a computer terminal. Despite fearing the tiger, Edwin persevered and looked into the systems. He noticed that The Storyteller was running a program named "Mimic1".
Edwin spent the next few days going in and out of the tree, trying to fix the programming. One day, Mr. Burrows noticed the panel on top of the tree, realizing that was how Edwin kept sneaking in. Operating the tree's systems remotely, Mr. Burrows watched on the cameras as Edwin went inside the tree and locked it from the inside. He planned on leaving Edwin in there to slowly suffocate to death, believing that he was the cause of all the malfunctions. After a few days, the tech crew wants to go into the tree for maintenance. To cover his tracks, Burrows decides to check and see if Edwin is dead and dispose of him properly if he was still alive.
Mr. Burrows went in, expecting to see that Edwin had survived somehow. Instead, he found him limp on the ground with paper and crayon. He was in the middle of drawing a stick figure. He had also written "I'm sorry" on one of the papers. Nerve wracked by the side; Mr. Burrows tried to exit through the tree's front entrance. He puts his palm on the scanner, but it doesn't work. Now locked in, Mr. Burrows tries disconnecting The Storyteller to get people's attention. He rips out the wires, but the white tiger remained lit. He tries entering his password into the terminal, but it fails. He tries punching the tiger, but it remains active. Mr. Burrows lays helplessly and loses consciousness.
Bobbiedots, Part 2[]
After the events of part 1, Abe has lost trust in Gemini, Olive and Rose. He looks through the Pizzaplex databases to see if the Gen 1's were real. While the Gen 1's wasn't on the archives, Abe thought they could be kept in storage. He traveled through the loading docks, the utilidors and then the sewers, which served as the dumping ground for old animatronics. After hours of searching, Abe found a deactivated Mr. Hippo along with a Mr. Hippo magnet nearby. He remembered that the magnets were recalled because they were strong enough to short out electronics. Abe wondered if the magnet could disable the locks in his apartment, giving him a chance to see what the Bobbiedots were up to.
At 2AM, Abe woke up and used the magnet to deactivate the automated lock on his bedroom door. As he heads to the main terminal, he heard noises. Abe crouched behind the seating area and watched as the trapdoor opened. Black cables slithered out of the opening and spread throughout the walls of the apartment. Abe tried reaching the terminal again, but Three, Rose's Gen 1 counterpart, gets in the way. Abe braced to be attacked, but Three didn't react to him at all. He sighed in relief, only for Three to reel back around and screech at him. Abe runs and barricades himself in his bedroom. He overheard the cables retreating back into the trapdoor.
Rose, Olive and Gemini continue to lock the bedroom for Abe's safety. But Abe knew he wouldn't be safe until he found a way to stop the Gen 1's. The next night, Abe used the magnet to unlock his room, noticing One, Gemini's counterpart, lurking around. One could only detect Abe once she heard his leg brush against a table. As One's cables shot out in various directions, Abe tried to beeline for his bedroom. One grabbed onto his ankle before he could and slammed him onto the floor. He rolled free for a bit, but the cables started wrapping around his whole body.
With all of his strength, Abe frees himself from the wires and hides behind the sofa. He watched for One, but his ankle got caught again. Abe turned around to see it was Olive's Gen 1 counterpart, Two. Despite briefly freeing himself, One and Two attacked him together. As they started tearing at him, the TV suddenly came on, giving Abe a chance to escape. One grabbed the TV and slammed into the coffee table. This caused the Gen 2 Bobbiedots to activate. Gemini activated rock music on the speakers to scare the Gen 1's away as Abe went back to the bedroom and blocked himself in. Olive and Rose give Abe instructions on how to cover his wounds with gauze.
Abe returns to work the next day demoralized. He can't explain how he got injured without revealing everything he did. As Abe goes about his tasks at the Pizzaplex, a social worker named Sasha walks up to him and asks about his opinion on the Pizzaplex. After giving his advice, the two talk further, play some of the games, and eventually, Abe invites Sasha to dinner. During the dinner date, Abe mentions the Bobbiedots and their advanced programming. Intrigued, Sasha asks if she can visit his apartment. Abe agrees but postpones it to a later day so he can plan ahead.
As Rose, Olive and Gemini help prepare for the date, Abe uses some tools to seal the trapdoor. Sasha arrives, and they have their date without interruption. One day, after getting to know Sasha further, Abe decides to tell her about his predicament with the Gen 1's. Sasha uses her expertise as a social worker and offers her own perspective, wondering if they were acting out for a reason given how some of her clients acted out to vent their own pain. She suggests looking into Landon, the previous tenant of the apartment. After searching him up on the Pizzaplex databases, Abe discovers Landon was paranoid and believing the various conspiracy theories around Fazbear Entertainment and that the animatronics were trying to kill him. Abe relays the information he found to Sasha, and she offers to spend the night at his apartment to look into the Gen 1's more. Abe reluctantly agrees.
Abe and Sasha are accompanied by Rose, Olive and Gemini until 2AM, The Bobbiedots deactivate while Abe and Sasha remained up until they heard sounds coming from the trapdoor. One, Two and Three were all out in different areas of the apartment. Sasha noticed Two disconnecting wires from a socket, pointing it out to Abe. The Gen 1's hear her whispering and charge at the duo but pass Sasha and go straight for Abe. He ran towards the kitchen, dodging the various cables. The kitchen's fridge started to fall but was snagged by Three's cables. Abe gets caught in the various cables, but Sasha is able to pull them out and they run back into the bedroom and barricade themselves in. The Gen 1's retreat back into the trapdoor.
Despite the harrowing attacks, Sasha still believed there was some other motive behind their actions having seen everything from the outside. The wire Two disconnected was connected to the apartment door and would've shot out deadly electricity onto whoever touched it. The fridge had fallen over on its own, and Three grabbed it to prevent Abe from being crushed. Abe thought back to their other encounters, recalling how Three looked him in the eye and did nothing, as well as when One and Two started screeching when he started screaming. He realized that they weren't blind nor murderous and that his fear had warped his perception of them, as well as inadvertently set them off. Abe then realized that Rose, Olive and Gemini were the ones who had control over the apartment and were never really off even if they were dormant. Betrayed, Abe came to terms with the fact that they were the ones tormenting him.
Rose, Olive and Gemini appeared on the screens with their eyes double their normal size and maniacal grins on their faces, overloading all of the various electronics at once. With the doors locked and the walls soundproof, the only way out for Abe and Sasha was to cut through the ceiling and potentially get help from the Gen 1's. As utensils and plates flew around from the kitchen, as well as the lights going on and off, Abe grabbed a butcher knife and gave it to Sasha so she could cut through the trapdoor. Sasha gets through the door and pulls Abe into the crawlspace.
Once the duo gets their bearings, the Gen 1's appear before them and started wailing in pain. Sasha calmed them down, trying to get information out of them. Three is able to speak, revealing that they and the others had killed Landon. He tried burning the tower down, and the Gen 1's had to kill him out of self-defense. Abe asks why the Gen 2's wanted him dead. Three explains that they were programmed differently than the other Gen 2 units in the other apartments, believing that they were superior to humans and wanted them dead. The only way to defeat them was by initiating a system update and cutting the power. Suddenly, an open pipe burst out causing the drywall to crack. Abe, Sasha and the Gen 1's were all sent tumbling back down to the apartment below.
One, Two and Three screamed in agony as they were electrocuted by the water. This created an electrical circuit in the water that would kill Abe and Sasha if they fell in. They're able to make their way to the main control panel and initiate the update, causing Rose, Olive and Gemini to start glitching out. Abe tried to get to his office to cut the power, but he gets caught on the partition, barely hanging on. In a last-ditch effort to stop their counterparts, One, Two and Three extended their cables into the various sockets and terminals. They overrode the apartment's circuits, shutting the Gen 2's down once and for all.
Many months later, Abe was allowed to stay in his apartment, with Sasha also moving in with him. The apartment itself was also repaired and remodeled. The Gen 1's survived and were slowly repaired by Abe. They got new parts to fix their exoskeletons, as well as give Three a new vocal processor. Eventually, the Gen 1's was given human names; One was renamed to Elizabeth, Two was renamed to Isabella and Three was renamed to Victoria. Abe's mom would also move in, and the Bobbiedots could help take care of her. In spite of all the pain and betrayal he had gone through, Abe had persevered, and now his future was brighter than ever.
Epilogue[]
Lucia and Kelly finally get the radio to work. They listened in on the static to see if they've contacted someone. A garbled voice speaks, stating they and their group are also trapped in the old pizzeria behind the stage. Kelly wants to help the people while Adrian wants to find Joel and Wade, unaware that they're dead. The group agree to go save the people, wondering if it was Joel or Wade who had contacted them.
They make it to the backstage area without encountering the Mimic. Jayce notices the seam of a door blended into the wall. Adrian knocks on the door, and someone knocks back. Kelly calls out to whoever is in there, but they don't respond. The door clicks open to reveal a small room devoid of life. There was only a collection of costumes inside. One of them, a monkey, started to move. A metal hand tore out of the costume's arms and slashed at Adrian. Lucia pulls him out of the way before he's injured further. Mimic stands up and starts chasing the group again.
The group outrun Mimic and barricade themselves in the office. Lucia looks for a med kit to treat Adrian, who had been cut in the arm. After he's bandaged up, Adrian is adamant in finding Joel and Wade. He proposed going through the vents to avoid Mimic. While Jayce is hesitant, Lucia offers to come with him. Adrian disagrees and wants her to stay with Kelly. Lucia reluctantly accepts, grabbing the endoskeleton manual to see if there was more information on Mimic models. Jayce works up the courage to go along with Adrian in the vents.
As Adrian and Jayce crawl through the vents, they see an opening to one of the rooms where the light is flickering, indicating the Mimic was nearby. The light goes out completely and Mimic stares the duo in the eyes. But it walks away rather than try to pursue them. Adrian and Jayce eventually reach the end of the vents and have to go out into the pizzeria again. They make it to the systems room without problem, discovering the severed limbs and heads of Joel and Wade.
Kelly continues trying to contact people on the radio while Lucia continued looking through the manual. She found out that a Mimic's deactivation switch was on the back of its neck. With the manual no longer providing leads, Lucia starts looking through cabinets. She finds a key with "STORAGE" labeled on it. She remembered seeing a door across the systems room, wondering if it could unlock it.
Adrian and Jayce put together that Joel and Wade were trying to get out through the system room chute. They searched for the main control panel, wanting to shut the fan off manually. Despite turning the panel off along with ripping out the fuse box, the fan kept moving. Adrian and Jayce then try to lodge the fan shut by sticking an endoskeleton part into it, grabbing one of the legs from the piles.
The lights started to flicker again. Jayce instinctively ran, but Adrian stopped him. Mimic, now wearing a dog costume, was a few feet away from them. Adrian and Jayce run to the arcade and hide underneath a pinball machine. They evade Mimic once again, and Adrian decides to go into the chute and see if he can stop the fan from there. He tells Jayce to remain hidden until he can deactivate the fan. Jayce goes to the stage with tears in his eyes. Adrian comforts Jayce, promising he'll come back and get him. Jayce watches Adrian head for the systems room, with Mimic following behind from the dining area.
Adrian sticks the legs into the fan's blades, but it only causes sparks to fly out. The leg shot out and hit Adrian on the temple, sending him careening down the shaft and straight into Mimic's arms. Jayce heard Adrian screaming in pain. He was too scared to anything. He curled up into a ball as heard Mimic tear Adrian apart.

Trivia[]
GGY[]
- Many details tie the story to the events in Security Breach.
- In Security Breach, all the arcade machines have "GGY" on the top of the leaderboard, just like in the story.
- One of the players Tony meets is Axel Brandon Campbell, whose score on the leaderboard is "ABC". Some of the leaderboards in the game show "ABC".
- Greg has dark brown hair and brown eyes, just like Gregory in Security Breach. "Greg" can also be short for "Gregory", especially implied by the username "GGY".
- In Security Breach, all the arcade machines have "GGY" on the top of the leaderboard, just like in the story.
- Greg rewrites Tony's story to be about a kid named GGY who was "the wizard's most favored apprentice" and changes the story to be about "an animatronic supervillain who went into battle with a tentacled monster". This may be an allusion to the fight between Burntrap (the wizard) and the Blob (a tentacled monster) at the end of Security Breach. GGY being the wizard's apprentice suggests that Gregory might have been under Afton's control.
The Bobbiedots Conclusion[]
- This is the first continuation story in the entire Tales from the Pizzaplex and Fazbear Frights series, being a continuation of the third story from Tales from the Pizzaplex: Submechanophobia.
- Sasha tells Abe, "From what I've read about the Fazbear Entertainment animatronics, they are programmed to approximate exact human behavior." Similarly, the Gen2s explain the Gen1s' behavior to being an experimental AI. This suggests that the stories take place in a time where AI is so advanced that it can almost perfectly replicate human behavior; Remnant is now not the only thing that causes animatronics to appear life-like.
- When Abe finds the Mr. Hippo magnet, he says that they were novelty toys that were recalled because they shorted out electronics. In Security Breach, the magnet is used to scramble a machine.
