The next day, various employees entered the restaurant, and were quite surprised to not find Leigh there.
"Where is Leigh? He's supposed to arrive much earlier than us!" one of the men protested.
"Maybe he forgot to come." another one of them joked.
"Well, we will have to arrange things ourselves." a last one said calmly, walking past the show stage where the toy animatronics stood idly, pretending to be doing nothing. The man stopped, looked at the robots.
"Huh, guys…" he muttered. "Why are the animatronics broken?"
Three employees ran to his side, noticing that all the toy animatronics had gashes and markings from the last fight. One of the men scratched the back of his head as he asked, "How did this happen…?"
"I don't know, but one thing I know is that we can't open today." one of them said firmly.
"And why not?" another man coming from the office asked, bewildered. The guy who spoke looked at him with an 'are-you-kidding' expression before coolly replying, "Because they're broken."
"Ugh, great."
After an hour, the employees left, leaving the animatronics alone. Toy Freddy looked at his sides, sighed in relief. "Good thing we aren't going to do anything today." he said for himself.
"Those guys were exaggerating a lot." Toy Bonnie giggled. "We aren't so broken."
"So what now?" a voice asked from far away. Freddy walked out the Parts/Service room, awaited to hear something to do.
"Isn't the nigh guard coming tonight?" Toy Chica asked in realization. Freddy's eyes widened.
"Night guard you say?" he said mischievously. "Perfect."
"Hey, where are the others?" Toy Bonnie then asked.
"Trying to help Foxy speak again." Freddy replied. He turned around as he asked, "Are you coming?"
The toy animatronics looked at each other, nodded, followed Freddy. They looked at the ceiling when they heard metallic sounds, noticing that Mangle was out.
"I- Im go- ing wit-th you- u."
When they entered the room, they saw Bonnie staring at the wall and Chica next to Foxy, trying to talk again.
"Come on, I know you can do it!" she encouraged the fox, who shook his head as he snorted.
"I… Will… Talk – " he managed to say between growls and static.
"Come on, you can do it, I know you can." Freddy muttered, hope reflected on his eyes.
"I will – talk – " Foxy repeated, words sounding much more fluent, with more reliance, and the growls disappearing. And something then seemed to click inside him as his eyes went wide.
Bonnie turned around when he heard that brief click. All the animatronics had expectant expressions. Foxy blinked a couple of times, shook his head again. Freddy took a step forth.
"So?"
"So what." Foxy deadpanned. And like that, his expression, as well as Freddy's, turned into a surprised one.
"Y- you're talking… You're talking!" Chica shouted joyfully.
"I be talkin'… I- really- " Foxy muttered, unable to believe that he could finally speak again. Mangle smiled, feeling a great happiness that moment.
Night came. The toy animatronics were back on the stage, the old animatronics were talking to Foxy after so long without hearing him, BB and BG were walking around, the Marionette was on his box and Golden Freddy was nowhere to be found. It seemed like a normal night, when the main door opened. BB immediately occupied his spot, and it was that moment when BG realized she didn't know where to go.
"Where do I go?" she yelled nervously.
"Hide under the desk of the office!" Toy Freddy urged her. She nodded, ran towards the office. The one who entered was the new night guard. He was a tall man with short, brown hair, green eyes, pale skin and a narrow build. He wore a black shirt reading 'SECURITY' written in white letters in the middle.
As he slowly walked past the stage, Toy Freddy looked at him, confused, but dissimulated. When the man was already in the office, the bear muttered, "Doesn't that guy give you a strange feeling?"
"If you mean that I have an urge to get rid of him, yes." Toy Bonnie muttered back. The toy animatronics were tied to criminal databases. And that meant the night guard wasn't precisely a good guy. "What should we do?" Toy Bonnie asked.
"Give him a little surprise." Toy Freddy said mischievously.
The night guard looked at the cameras in the monitor, BG spying his every movement. The man went wide-eyed when he saw all the toy animatronics off stage.
"Huh?" he stuttered. He found Toy Freddy in the game area, Toy Bonnie in party room 3 and Toy Chica in the main hall, beakless and eyeless. "What on Earth…" the guard managed to mutter.
He saw Mangle on the prize corner later on as he proceeded to wind up the music box. "What is that thing… What is going on here?!"
For more surprises, he found the Parts/Service room empty. Freddy was in the main hall, but Toy Chica wasn't anymore. The guard found out she moved to party room 4. Toy Bonnie also moved, to party room 1, about to enter the vent. Toy Freddy was still in the game area, along with Mangle. BB was gone from there.
The man started to sweat. He illuminated the hallway, found Foxy and Bonnie staring at him just from the outside. "What the…!" he yelled.
"Hi." BB called from somewhere around the pizzeria, trying to startle the night guard, who frantically looked around. He already made three huge mistakes: he wasn't winding up the music box, he didn't put the mask on and he didn't flash the light at Foxy, something the hated so much.
The chime of the music box suddenly changed. The man checked the prize corner camera, noticed that Golden Freddy's endoskeleton was out of the box. And the Marionette was loose. In the meanwhile, BG peeked out from under the desk, letting the guard have a chance to see her. Toy Bonnie was already on the vent's blind spot, patiently waiting. Toy Chica was doing the same. Chica was meanwhile in party room 1.
The guard looked behind for a brief moment, and it was enough. Foxy approached, and as soon as the man looked at front, he lunged.
The next day, the animatronics were reunited in the game area.
"You quite have some experience on getting night guards, you know?" Toy Freddy told the old animatronics.
"It's not the first time we do it, anyways." Freddy boasted, crossing his arms.
"Y-you re- really ga- gave that- t gu-y-y a h- heart at-ttack, di- didn't yo-u-u?" Mangle told Foxy, who responded with a shot chuckle.
"You could have let me get him." the Marionette said, not seriously, but rather jokingly. "So he learns to not forget about me."
"We all work well together." Toy Bonnie realized out loud. "Just think of all the things we were missing."
"You really have a way to look at the positive side of things." Bonnie said lowly. He looked at his counterpart. "That's what makes me appreciate you more."
Toy Bonnie smiled at him.
From then on, everything was fine. The toy animatronics were repaired. Every night, all the animatronics walked around and formed an unbreakable bond with each other. Their friendship couldn't be broken, no matter what. BB and BG were the best friends. Chica and Toy Chica always talked about girl things. Toy Bonnie and Bonnie appreciated each other like brothers with time. Mangle and Foxy worked together in perfect unison. Toy Freddy and Freddy became inseparable buddies. Both the Marionette and Golden Freddy felt in home again.
Everything was alright. They all were a family again.
One night, Freddy and Toy Freddy were alone in the game area while the rest were walking around. "I'm so glad everything is fine again…" Toy Freddy said. He walked towards his older version. "Promise me we will always stay this way."
Freddy managed out a smile.
"Forever."
A/N: And this is it. Oh, I really didn't want this to end. I hope you all liked it!
Oh my God, 100+ reviews/favs/follows. I wasn't expecting anything close to that. I mean, I was expecting to get at least 30 or 40 favs. You all really made me happy :') I really am glad you all liked and loved this story so much. I don't consider myself a good writer at all, but you just manage to change my mind. Each day I get new reviews/favs/follows I just have an urge to smile. It means a lot to me!
Oh!
But did you think this was the actual ending? Well, no! FNaF3 is on its way, and it seems to be a sequel to FNaF 2. Which means... Ya, this story will have a sequel! As it's so popular, I decided to continue it. Who knows what will happen now.
So this is all I needed to say. Thank you all for your support, and see you next time! ;)
