Chapter Text
“What is taking them so long?” Roxy says impatiently. The food was at the table already but they were waiting for Monty and Freddy to get back.”They’re just taking their time probably.” The chicken tells Roxy.
“There they are!” Chica says pointing towards a tall alligator looking down from embarrassment and a bear walking with the gator towards the table. Monty was still embarrassed from the whole thing and he was making it pretty obvious, but at least he wasn’t shaking anymore, so Freddy had to have calmed him down somehow.
When they make it to the table Freddy lets Monty go in first to sit down, then Freddy sits at the end.”You guys sure took a long time.” Roxy stated. Monty didn’t think he was gone that long, but he musta been gone long enough for the food to come.
“Monty is just a little nervous is all.” Freddy tells the rest of the band. Monty is glad he told them that and not the truth. Monty doesn't want to tell them the truth yet but in time he will.
“Freddy, I just ordered you a burger because you left before you ordered.” Chica informes him. Freddy completely forgot about ordering, he was so caught up with Monty that he left before ordering. He is glad that Chica already knows what he likes so she didn’t get something he didn’t want.”Thank you, Chica, I completely forgot to order.”
Monty was still hiding his face but he did start eating his wings. After a while he stopped hiding his face but he was still not looking at any of them.”Monty you don’t have to be embarrassed about being nervous, we all get nervous sometimes.” Monty looks up to see who is talking and it’s Chica.
They’re all looking at him now waiting for a response, he starts to panic again and Freddy notices and helps him.”He knows he just has to get to know us better.” Monty is thankful for Freddy’s help, he calms down fast and responds “Yeah, I jus’ have to get to know you guys.” They seem to understand and Chica proposes an idea “Why don’t we go around the table and say something we like.”
“That sounds like a great idea.” Freddy agrees and Monty nods and Roxy agrees too. Monty thinks it would be nice to get to know his new band better so he wants to do this.”Okay, I’ll start. I like Roxy and I like hanging out with you guys!” Chica joyfully starts. Then it’s Roxy’s turn.”I like Chica and I like playing music.” Now Monty has some questions.”Are you guys together or somethin’?” He had to ask.
“Yeah, we're dating!” Chica excitedly tells him. Then Roxy adds on to what she said “We’ve been dating for almost… Five years now.” She proudly states. Well that's good to know, this gettin’ to know each other is goin’ good so far, Monty thinks to himself.
“Monty, would you like to go next or would you like me to go and you can go last?” Freddy sincerely asks. Monty still needs time to think about what he’s going to tell them. “You can go first.”
“Well, I like singing in the band and I like doing anything with my friends.” Freddy tells Monty. Now it’s Monty’s turn and he’s thought of stuff to say.”I-I like watching movies, I like playing video games. Oh, and I like to play golf!” Monty excitedly tells them. He likes playing golf a lot.
“What kind of movies do you like?” Roxy asks. She seems to be interested now, he’s happy that they care about what he likes.”Well, I like lots of movies. Some of my favorites are the Pirates of the Caribbean series, I like the Star Wars movies, and I like some other ones too.”
“Maybe we can watch a movie together sometime.” Monty would love to watch a movie with Roxy. Freddy looks curious now “Where do you play golf?” Monty always goes to the same place to play golf and he thinks he’s the best at playing golf.”I always go to play golf at a mall and I always am the best.” Monty confidently responds.
After a while of talking and eating they finish and Chica pays the bill to Freddy’s protest because he wanted to pay. They left the restaurant and walked to the car. It was dark out now, they must have been in there for a long time taking. Freddy got into the driver's seat and Monty got in the other front seat while Chica and Roxy got in the back again.
“Where are we goin’ now?” Monty asks because he didn’t know what the plan was. They could be going home but they don’t know where he lives.”It’s a little late to go do anything else, so I was thinking I could drop you guys off at your homes.” Monty is proven right about going home by Freddy.”But you don’t know where I live.” Monty tells him.
“I can drop them off first, then you can tell me where to drop you off. If that is alright with you?” That makes sense to Monty and he just wants to go home and sleep.”’M okay with that.” He tells Freddy, he starts the car and leaves the restaurant.
The car ride is mostly quiet until Roxy speaks up from the back.”Monty, tomorrow we can go shopping for an outfit.” Monty is confused. Why would he need an outfit?”What’s wrong with what I have now?” Monty asks defensively.
“Nothings wrong with what you have on now, but you need an outfit for when we perform.” She explains to him.
“Okay, that sounds like fun. When are we gonna meet?” Monty likes getting new clothes and he gets to perform in these clothes which make it even better.
“I can give you my number so you can call me and we can talk about it later.”
Monty gets her number so he can call her later. He was thinking that he would call her tomorrow to discuss shopping. The rest of the car ride was quiet again. Freddy drove to Roxy and Chica’s house where they live together. “Bye, Roxy and Chica.” Monty says goodbye and so does Freddy.
“I can pull up where I live on my phone.” Monty tells Freddy as he pulls out his phone and opens the map. He finds his apartment and gives his phone to Freddy who looks at it and gives it back to him. Freddy starts driving to where Monty showed him, it wasn’t that far away, only about ten minutes away. Freddy decides to talk to Monty.”I think you’ve had a good first day.”
“Except the part where I panicked orderin’ food.” he told him in a unhappy tone.
“That wasn’t your fault, you couldn't control that. It will get easier the more you do it.” Freddy tries to encourage him.
“Thanks, Fred. Your band is a lot better to me than my last one.”
“Do you… want to talk about it, your old band I mean.”
“I don’t really want to right now.”
The rest of the car ride is silent, Monty is thinking about how his day was and he thinks most of it was pretty good, he got in a good band that actually cares about him unlike his last, he got to tell them about what he likes and he got to learn about what they like. But there was some bad stuff like when he froze but Freddy helped him get through that. In all he likes his new band.
They get to the apartment building where Monty lives. Freddy parks to drop him off and Monty starts to get out but then he realizes something. He doesn’t have Freddy’s number.”Hey, Fred, can I get your number, so I can call you if I need to.”
“Of course you can.” Freddy says with a smile as he gives Monty his number.”Bye, Freddy.”
“Goodbye, Monty, see you tomorrow.” After they say their goodbyes Freddy drives off leaving Monty by himself. He goes inside the building and walks to his apartment. He takes out his keys and unlocks his door, opening it and stepping inside his apartment.
It was a pretty nice apartment, he had a nice living room with a big tv, his kitchen was just redone a month ago, he has marble countertops which were not cheap and new appliances. His apartment had two bedrooms and two bathrooms one by each bedroom. He doesn’t have a roommate though, he just lives by himself.
He walks to his room and falls onto the bed. He had two very soft blankets on his bed that he likes because it feels nice against his scales and he likes wrapping himself up in them to keep him warm in the night because he is cold blooded. He crawls under the covers and falls right to sleep after his long day.
