Bonnie stared at the oven, giving herself a satisfied nod. She wiped her forehead and brushed by a few strands of artificial hair to the side. She had worked up a sweat making the dough. Hopefully, it would rise to the perfect height. Wouldn't want to ruin the cinnamon roll she had worked so hard on. After all...she was making it for him.
It was then that she heard something in the darkness of the kitchen, with her two large bunny ears standing at attention. She turned around and saw that the kitchen camera was turned on, with the lights turned green instead of red. 'He's watching' She thought. Walking towards the camera, she tiptoed and read out for the camera, shaking it a little. "Mike..Honey...? Please come out...I made cinnamon rolls for you...again" She spoke with a sad tone. "Come on out and see me..?..Please...?"
She knew that she would earn no reply, but it didn't hurt to try. It had been weeks after the small misconception about the animatronics, being Bonnie and her co-workers, on how they would 'suit' nightguards for merely seeing them as an endoskelefon without a suit. Needless to say, it was appaling to hear such a thing, even though the one whom had started it was merely jesting. However, word caught on and Mike had unfortunately beard of the news. Bonnie tried her best to coax him out of that small room of his, but to no avail. She felt sad knowing that she couldn't reach out to him and tell him it was alright.
And it didn't help her that she had achieved what humans called, a 'crush' on him.
Bonnie looked at the camera and sighed before walking back to the oven. She was smitten by him when he first came round. And with her title, she couldn't help but give him pet names such as 'Honey' ,'Sweety' , 'Mikey' and so on and so forth. Though, everytime she would call him that outside his window, she would always find him cowering in fear.
*Ding!*
Her ears pointed upwards, surprised from the noise. Taking the oven mitts, she gently took out the tray of cinnamon rolls and placed them on the nearby table to let it cool. She looked up and faced the camera once again. "...I'll let the rolls cool down here...If you want..You can come out and...have one" she meekly called out, scratching the back of her head. Waiting for a moment or two, she sighed before picking up the nearby dustpan and broom.
There was still cleaning to be done...
*Flashback*
*A few days ago*
"Mama! Danny made fun of me!"
A certain female animatronics' ears pointed upwards ad towards the quivering voice. It looked up from what it was doing beforehand and saw a child standing behind her, his eye's were glistening with the beginning of tears. The animatronic smiled sweetly at the child and kneeled down before him. "Now now Philip. Don't cry honey" The female animatronic crooned at the child, hugging him softly as he bawled his eyes out.
Bonnie smiled. A purple animatronic rabbit with technology far superior than most computers. Capable of being sentient, they were the greatest technological breakthrough in robot history. Though despite this, she and her fellow companions acted more human than anything else, with her taking up a motherly role. It was common for the kids to reach out to her when they were in need of help, were in trouble or were injured.
Bonnie pushed the kid back a little to get a good look of his face. Tear stricken with red, misty eyes. She reached into the pocket of the jeans she was wearing and pulled out a handkerchief and began to wipe the poor boy's face. "There there. It's all okay. Don't cry now" She crooned once again at the crying child, who was now reduced to mere sniffles. The soothing sound of the animatronic's voice was enough to put a small smile on his face.
After she was done with wiping his face, she gave his forehead a small kiss and hugged him tightly for a moment before looking back at him. "Now, off you go. And don't go near Danny if he ever does that again to you, alright?" She asked, earning a tight nod from the child. She smiled. "Alright. Now go. I'll go look after that small trouble maker and educate him a little" She said, patting the child's head before 'shoo'-ing him away.
Bonnie sighed.
The kids in the pizzeria were definitely a handful at times. A little more annoying in some rare cases, but it never failed to end in them being gently told off by the robotic performer, replying with "Yes Mama.." and "Okay Mama". During those times, a smile would gently grace Bonnie's face as she hears those words. Due to how she was made, she was given the name of 'Mama BonBon', on how she was extremely motherly to anyone including adults. She was one of the absolute favorites of the entire pizzeria according to the kids, which she would always say that "Mama is only doing what she needs to do".
However, at times, when she would be observing the kids or playing or taking care of them. Her robotic mind would wander subconsciously and she would often ask herself, "How would it truly feel like to be a mother?". Have a kid of her own, feed them, raise them, having a husband whom would look after her, love her dearly. Such were some impossible thoughts coming from a robotic kids performer. When asked by her peers, 'Why so?'. She would reply, "A girl can dream, you know?"
"Bonnie? You alright?" Bonnie heard a voice pierce her thoughts, snapping her from her daydream. She shook her head, her artificial purple hair in between her two large ears swayed side to side as her small bandana rustled gently. She turned to the origin of the voice, finding out it was Freddy, the main man, or bear in this case, of the pizzeria. Her colleague, friend and boss.
"Oh! Dear me, sorry about that Fred" Bonnie said, chuckling a little, using Freddy's nickname. "Anything wrong?" She asked, only to be given a weirded look in return.
"Nothing much, other than I saw you daydreaming. Again" Freddy said, his face contorted to that of worry. "Really now, is there anything wrong? Other than the kids of course" He asked.
Bonnie looked at him for a moment. Freddy was a swell fellow, a good father figure indeed, but she never thought of him being a good father pair for her. He was more like a friend than anything else. A really good friend. And besides, she thought, he had been eyeing on that blue bunny for a while now. She wondered when he was going to make a move on that bunny.
"No. Everything is fine, Freddy" Bonnie smiled sweetly. Freddy gave her another uneasy look before sighing in reply.
"...Whatever. Oh! And before I forget, we're going to have a new employee starting today. Good 'ol Mr Scott had just told me a few minutes ago and is asking to spread the news" Freddy said, earning a surprised look from Bonnie.
A new employee? This was a new turn of events. According to what Bonnie could remember was that the last employee that the manager, Mr Cawthon, had employed was at least a year ago. Things could start to turn interesting, Bonnie thought. She began to wonder what the person might be like and what position he or she would be taking.
"Alright then. I'll make sure to tell everyone else I see the news" Bonnie replied with a smile. Freddy nodded.
"Alright. See you later then, Bonnie!" Freddy exclaimed as he excited the room.
"Hmm..." Bonnie hummed to herself as her mind began to work, before sighing and shaking her head. Now was probably not the time to think about that. Anywho, there was still work to be done. Lots of mopping, dusting and other stuff.
"...Maybe later...Back to work" She said to no one in particular before picking up the nearby broom and began to sweep the floor.
Time had flown by relatively quickly for the robotic performer, as motherly work such as cleaning up and taking care of the kids had been a major part of said time. It was still relatively early to be called for closing, only being 2pm-ish in the afternoon. By now, the entire pizzeria was full of customers and Freddy and her other colleagues were entertaining them or busy helping out around the place.
She had seen Chica, her best friend whom was modeled after a hen, run about in the kitchen as she and quite a number of chefs were busy cooking up a storm. Her 'sister', another animatronic named Chichi, was rollerblading around the pizzeria, taking orders from the customers and passing them to her 'sister', which only added up to Chica's stress level.
Not surprisingly, quite a lot of kids were happy to see their 'Mama BonBon' and had quickly began playing with her a variety of games, along side with Balloon Boy, or BB, whom was an animatronic human kid whom was solely built to play with the kids and have a kid-like mindset. They were having fun playing tag in the kid's game area when a certain red pirate fox had showed up at the doorway, ushering Bonnie to come closer. She looked at the doorway confusingly for a moment before walking over.
"Need something Foxy?" Bonnie asked the red fox, whom had his back placed firmly against the frame of the doorway, still clad in his usual Pirate Captain gear. Bonnie made a mental note to get rid of those few strands of thread hanging out of his jacket. And his pants as well apparently.
"Nothin' much. Just that ol Freddy be showing the new employee the rooms. If they happen ta walk by, just stop ta say hi fer a moment. Management's orders" Foxy said in his usual pirate accent, his free hand gently caressing his hook. "He be working as a night guard, from what I've heard. Relatively jolly fellow, doesn't seem all too bad" He added, giving his own thoughts on the new employee.
"Oh really now?" Bonnie asked with a smirk and a brow raised. "It's always good news if Captain Foxy takes a liking to a new member of the family". She giggled a little, causing the fox pirate to laugh alongside her. "Put's our worries to rest of wondering how the person might be like"
"Suppose so, Mama Bon" Foxy said, using Bonnie's famous name. "I suppose so". Foxy grinned for a moment before taking a look behind Bonnie, admiring the kids playing happily with the small humanoid animatronic. He smiled before facing Bonnie once again. "Well, I'll leave ya to yer duties, Mama" He said, bowing his head gently, "I'll be off now. The ship's crew would be worried without their captain!"
Bonnie stifled a giggled before waving a hand goodbye to the pirate captain. She sighed. Things were going quite fast as of today.
For a moment, Bonnie had allowed her mind to wander, which was something she was grateful of her creators. So the new employee already had the acceptance of Captain Foxy. Quite odd really since it would normally take a while for Foxy to get accustomed to a new face in the Fazbear Family. Foxy also did state that said employee was quite jolly, probably easy to get acquainted with. And besides personality, did he or she looked good?
Bonnie's mouth curved upwards at the sides at the though. Silly me, she thought. It was a childish idea, but she had hoped that whomever it was, they probably looked good-looking. She shook her head and laughed silently. Now was not the time to be thinking of such trivial things. And besides, it is the inside that counts. She had set that idea strongly and firmly within her system and nothing was going to change that.
Just then, a child ran past her and out the doorway, with a few other kids and BB in tow, all of which were laughing loudly and happily. Sighing before placing on a smile, Bonnie ran to catch up with them, pretending to be slower than the kids. This act continued for a while, with the purple bunny animatronic chasing a group of children, all of whom were screaming that "The monster is going to catch us!". Bonnie had accustomed to this for a long while now and they all kept coming up with funny names for her.
All those whom they ran past would merely look at them with a smile on their faces, the parents of the kids more so, seeing as how their children were having a wonderful time. However, while Bonnie was cutting across a few corners, she heard one of kids start to cry, causing her to be surprised. With her maternal instincts kicking in, she pushed herself forth and ran at a faster pace to where the crying child was at. Thankfully, she had managed to find the child quite easily, with how a crowd of other children were grouping around.
But then she realized there was an adult in the room as well. A fair skinned male with greyish-black hair and a rather fit physique. He was wearing a red and black plaid shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans and grey shoes. He had his back facing Bonnie, so she couldn't get a good look at his face unfortunately. At first Bonnie was hesitant as to how she should approach him, with the possibility of him being a danger to the kids still fresh in her mind. Thankfully, with how he had reacted a while later, Bonnie's thoughts of him being hostile were extinguished.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked the small crying female child. She shook her head for a while before sniffling once, then twice. The man reached into his right pant pocket and fished out a small packet of tissues, taking a piece and handing it to the girl. "There there. It's fine" He said soothingly, patting her head softly.
As the event transpired right in front of Bonnie's eyes, something suddenly sparked inside of her. It felt like a sudden yet momentary shock of pain in her body that had caught her off guard. Though most importantly, her mechanical heart started to throb. Almost as if she had been longing for something and had suddenly remembered what it was. She placed a hand on her chest and felt her heart beat faster than normal. An odd sensation, she thought.
A few silent moments after and the girl had realized that her 'Mama' was right behind. She screamed in delight before running towards her, snapping Bonnie from her trance-like state of mind. She looked down and smiled at the child, kneeling down and hugging her tightly. The rest of the kids all ran towards her as well and had began to crowd around her, darting out sentences of what happened and why it happened. Bonnie merely smiled and just told the kids to be more careful next time before patting their heads softly.
"Seems like the kids really like you" The adult male's slightly deep voice pierced the commotion that was happening, causing everyone to turn their heads towards him. Bonnie's eyes dilated a little at the sight of the adult. He had a bit of scruff on his chin and had piercing blue eyes with a calm and friendly smile. From how he looked, he seemed to be in his early or mid 20's. But despite that, he had this handsome, rugged aura surrounding him. The kind that could entice females if he wanted to.
And just like that, Bonnie's heart began to pound like a jackhammer once again.
"Uuumm...Y-Yea..." Bonnie stuttered, facing her head down a little to try and hide the blush that she had on her face, which she absolutely failed to do so.
The young male laughed before taking a few steps forward. "I was rather surprised when someone had suddenly bumped into me quite hard and the next thing I knew, the poor kid was sitting on the floor crying. Worried about her for a moment" He explained, scratching the back of his head with a small frown. "Thankfully she's fine" He added, his frown immediately turning into a smile.
"Yea. I can also get really worried when the kids get themselves hurt" Bonnie replied with a small laugh as she stood up and carried the once crying child in her arms. She was quite thankful for being a robot as she was able to carry around a number of kids before their combined weight would start to have an adverse effect on her.
The young male placed a hand forward towards Bonnie with a smile on his face. "My name's Mike Schmidt. Pleasure to meat you Miss..." He introduced himself, making his sentence linger for a moment to allow Bonnie to reply.
Using her free hand, she grabbed Mike's hand and shook it. "Bonnie. Bonnie Bunny" She replied with a smile in return.
That was till the rest of the kids exclaimed in unison, "THAT'S MAMA BONNIE!"
The combined voices of the kids had caught the duo off guard, but Mike had merely laughed it off. "Hahah! I see the kids really treat you with a whole lot of respect, huh 'Mama'?" He asked in a cheeky tone, causing Bonnie's face to light up once again, much to Mike's amusement and much to Bonnie's chagrin.
After a while, the kids all went off to another random area in the restaurant, with the once crying child in hot pursuit, leaving only Bonnie and Mike in the room. There was an awkward silence that lingered for quite a while till Mike had decided to break it. "Well...Umm...I better get going now. I still have to tour this place for my job" He said, rubbing his chin.
This piqued Bonnie's interest and decided to poke into it for a moment. "Job? As what?" She had asked, though inside her heart she had a feeling what it was. She was begging to hope it was true.
"I'm actually working as a night guard here. Just got my application approved" He said with a huge grin on his face. He pushed up his right sleeve and took a look at his wrist watch, gasping a little when he noticed the time. "Oh shoot!", he gritted his teeth before facing Bonnie. "Sorry to cut the conversation short Miss Bonnie. I have to go now!" He exclaimed as he hurriedly left the room, leaving Bonnie staring at the doorway.
Despite being alone in the room, Bonnie grinned. She had suddenly gotten a chance encounter with a guy that had somehow managed to catch her attention so easily. His rugged looks and ever so gentle smile and the fact that he was the apparent new employee everyone was talking about. It all seemed like a fluttering dream right now to her, but she was certain in who she saw inside of him.
Her future husband.
